And he said, Who told thee that thou art naked? Hast thou eaten of the tree of which I commanded thee not to eat? Gen. 3:11

And in process of time it came to pass that Cain brought of the fruit of the ground an offering to Jehovah. Gen. 4:3

And now be thou cursed from the ground, which hath opened its mouth to receive thy brother's blood from thy hand. Gen. 4:11

But Noah found favour in the eyes of Jehovah. Gen. 6:8
This is the history of Noah. Noah was a just man, perfect amongst his generations: Noah walked with God. Gen. 6:9
And the earth was corrupt before God, and the earth was full of violence. Gen. 6:11
And God looked upon the earth, and behold, it was corrupt; for all flesh had corrupted its way on the earth. Gen. 6:12

And thus shalt thou make it: let the length of the ark be three hundred cubits, the breadth of it fifty cubits, and the height of it thirty cubits. Gen. 6:15
A light shalt thou make to the ark; and to a cubit high shalt thou finish it above. And the door of the ark shalt thou set in its side: with a lower, second, and third story shalt thou make it. Gen. 6:16

Of clean beasts, and of beasts that are not clean, and of fowl, and of everything that creeps on the ground, Gen. 7:8
there came two and two unto Noah into the ark, male and female, as God had commanded Noah. Gen. 7:9
And it came to pass after seven days that the waters of the flood were on the earth. Gen. 7:10
In the six hundredth year of Noah's life, in the second month, on the seventeenth day of the month, on that same day all the fountains of the great deep were broken up, and the windows of heaven were opened. Gen. 7:11
And the pour of rain was on the earth forty days and forty nights. Gen. 7:12
On the same day went Noah, and Shem and Ham and Japheth, the sons of Noah, and Noah's wife, and the three wives of his sons with them, into the ark; Gen. 7:13
they, and every beast after its kind, and all the cattle after their kind, and every creeping thing that creeps on the earth after its kind, and all fowl after its kind -- every bird of every wing. Gen. 7:14
And they went to Noah, into the ark, two and two of all flesh, in which was the breath of life. Gen. 7:15
And the flood was forty days on the earth. And the waters increased, and bore up the ark; and it was lifted up above the earth. Gen. 7:17
And the waters prevailed and increased greatly on the earth; and the ark went on the face of the waters. Gen. 7:18
And the waters prevailed exceedingly on the earth; and all the high mountains that are under all the heavens were covered. Gen. 7:19
Fifteen cubits upward the waters prevailed; and the mountains were covered. Gen. 7:20
And all flesh that moved on the earth expired, fowl as well as cattle, and beasts, and all crawling things which crawl on the earth, and all mankind: Gen. 7:21

And every living being was destroyed that was on the ground, both man, and cattle, and creeping things, and fowl of the heavens; and they were destroyed from the earth. And Noah alone remained, and what was with him in the ark. Gen. 7:23
And the waters prevailed on the earth a hundred and fifty days. Gen. 7:24
And God remembered Noah, and all the animals, and all the cattle that were with him in the ark; and God made a wind to pass over the earth, and the waters subsided. Gen. 8:1
And the fountains of the deep and the windows of heaven were closed, and the pour of rain from heaven was stopped. Gen. 8:2
And the waters retired from the earth, continually retiring; and in the course of a hundred and fifty days the waters abated. Gen. 8:3
And the ark rested in the seventh month, on the seventeenth day of the month, on the mountains of Ararat. Gen. 8:4
And the waters abated continually until the tenth month: in the tenth month, on the first of the month, the tops of the mountains were seen. Gen. 8:5
And it came to pass at the end of forty days that Noah opened the window of the ark which he had made. Gen. 8:6
And he sent out the raven, which went forth going to and fro, until the waters were dried from the earth. Gen. 8:7
And he sent out the dove from him, to see if the waters had become low on the ground. Gen. 8:8
But the dove found no resting-place for the sole of her foot, and returned to him into the ark; for the waters were on the whole earth; and he put forth his hand, and took her, and brought her to him into the ark. Gen. 8:9
And he waited yet other seven days, and again he sent forth the dove out of the ark. Gen. 8:10
And the dove came to him at eventide; and behold, in her beak was an olive-leaf plucked off; and Noah knew that the waters had become low on the earth. Gen. 8:11
And he waited yet other seven days, and sent forth the dove; but she returned no more to him. Gen. 8:12
And it came to pass in the six hundred and first year, in the first month, on the first of the month, that the waters were dried up from the earth. And Noah removed the covering of the ark, and looked, and behold, the surface of the ground was dried. Gen. 8:13
And in the second month, on the twenty-seventh day of the month, the earth was dry. Gen. 8:14
Go out of the ark, thou, and thy wife, and thy sons, and thy sons' wives with thee. Gen. 8:16
Bring forth with thee every animal which is with thee, of all flesh, fowl as well as cattle, and all the creeping things which creep on the earth, that they may swarm on the earth, and may be fruitful and multiply on the earth. Gen. 8:17
All the animals, all the creeping things, and all the fowl -- everything that moves on the earth, after their kinds, went out of the ark. Gen. 8:19
And Noah built an altar to Jehovah; and took of every clean animal, and of all clean fowl, and offered up burnt-offerings on the altar. Gen. 8:20
And Jehovah smelled the sweet odour. And Jehovah said in his heart, I will no more henceforth curse the ground on account of Man, for the thought of Man's heart is evil from his youth; and I will no more smite every living thing, as I have done. Gen. 8:21
Henceforth, all the days of the earth, seed time and harvest, and cold and heat, and summer and winter, and day and night, shall not cease. Gen. 8:22
And God blessed Noah and his sons, and said to them, Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the earth. Gen. 9:1
And let the fear of you and the dread of you be upon every animal of the earth, and upon all fowl of the heavens: upon all that moveth on the ground; and upon all the fishes of the sea: into your hand are they delivered. Gen. 9:2
Every moving thing that liveth shall be food for you: as the green herb I give you everything. Gen. 9:3
Only, the flesh with its life, its blood, ye shall not eat. Gen. 9:4
And indeed your blood, the blood of your lives, will I require: at the hand of every animal will I require it, and at the hand of Man, at the hand of each the blood of his brother, will I require the life of Man. Gen. 9:5
Whoso sheddeth Man's blood, by Man shall his blood be shed; for in the image of God he hath made Man. Gen. 9:6
And ye, be fruitful and multiply: swarm on the earth, and multiply on it. Gen. 9:7
and with every living soul which is with you, fowl as well as cattle, and all the animals of the earth with you, of all that has gone out of the ark -- every animal of the earth. Gen. 9:10
And I establish my covenant with you, neither shall all flesh be cut off any more by the waters of a flood, and henceforth there shall be no flood to destroy the earth. Gen. 9:11
And God said, This is the sign of the covenant that I set between me and you and every living soul that is with you, for everlasting generations: Gen. 9:12
I set my bow in the clouds, and it shall be for a sign of the covenant between me and the earth. Gen. 9:13
And it shall come to pass when I bring clouds over the earth, that the bow shall be seen in the cloud, Gen. 9:14
and I will remember my covenant which is between me and you and every living soul of all flesh; and the waters shall not henceforth become a flood to destroy all flesh. Gen. 9:15
And the bow shall be in the cloud; and I will look upon it, that I may remember the everlasting covenant between God and every living soul of all flesh that is upon the earth. Gen. 9:16
And God said to Noah, This is the sign of the covenant which I have established between me and all flesh that is upon the earth. Gen. 9:17
And the sons of Noah who went out of the ark were Shem, and Ham, and Japheth. And Ham is the father of Canaan. Gen. 9:18
These three are the sons of Noah; and from these was the population of the whole earth spread abroad. Gen. 9:19
And he drank of the wine, and was drunken, and he uncovered himself in his tent. Gen. 9:21
And Ham the father of Canaan saw the nakedness of his father, and told his two brethren outside. Gen. 9:22
And Shem and Japheth took the upper garment and both laid it upon their shoulders, and went backwards, and covered the nakedness of their father. And their faces were turned away, that they saw not their father's nakedness. Gen. 9:23
And he said, Blessed be Jehovah, the God of Shem, And let Canaan be his bondman. Gen. 9:26
Let God enlarge Japheth, and let him dwell in the tents of Shem, And let Canaan be his bondman. Gen. 9:27
And Noah lived after the flood three hundred and fifty years. Gen. 9:28
And all the days of Noah were nine hundred and fifty years; and he died. Gen. 9:29
And these are the generations of the sons of Noah: Shem, Ham, and Japheth; and to them were sons born after the flood. Gen. 10:1
The sons of Japheth: Gomer, and Magog, and Madai, and Javan, and Tubal, and Meshech, and Tiras. Gen. 10:2
And the sons of Gomer: Ashkenaz, and Riphath, and Togarmah. Gen. 10:3
And the sons of Javan: Elishah, and Tarshish, Kittim, and Dodanim. Gen. 10:4
From these came the distribution of the isles of the nations, according to their lands, every one after his tongue, after their families, in their nations. Gen. 10:5
And the sons of Ham: Cush, and Mizraim, and Phut, and Canaan. Gen. 10:6
And the sons of Cush: Seba, and Havilah, and Sabtah, and Raamah, and Sabtecha. And the sons of Raamah: Sheba and Dedan. Gen. 10:7
And Cush begot Nimrod: he began to be mighty on the earth. Gen. 10:8
He was a mighty hunter before Jehovah; therefore it is said, As Nimrod, the mighty hunter before Jehovah! Gen. 10:9
And the beginning of his kingdom was Babel, and Erech, and Accad, and Calneh, in the land of Shinar. Gen. 10:10
and Resen, between Nineveh and Calah: this is the great city. Gen. 10:12
-- And Mizraim begot the Ludim, and the Anamim, and the Lehabim, and the Naphtuhim, Gen. 10:13
and the Pathrusim, and the Casluhim, out of whom came the Philistines, and the Caphtorim. Gen. 10:14
and the Jebusite, and the Amorite, and the Girgashite, Gen. 10:16
and the Hivite, and the Arkite, and the Sinite, Gen. 10:17
and the Arvadite, and the Zemarite, and the Hamathite. And afterwards the families of the Canaanites spread themselves abroad. Gen. 10:18
And the border of the Canaanite was from Sidon, as one goes to Gerar, up to Gazah; as one goes to Sodom, and Gomorrah, and Admah, and Zeboim, up to Lesha. Gen. 10:19
These are the sons of Ham, after their families, after their tongues, in their lands, in their nations. Gen. 10:20
And to Shem -- to him also were sons born; he is the father of all the sons of Eber, the brother of Japheth the elder. Gen. 10:21
The sons of Shem: Elam, and Asshur, and Arphaxad, and Lud, and Aram. Gen. 10:22
And the sons of Aram: Uz, and Hul, and Gether, and Mash. Gen. 10:23
And to Eber were born two sons: the name of the one was Peleg, for in his days was the earth divided; and his brother's name was Joktan. Gen. 10:25
And their dwelling was from Mesha, as one goes to Sephar, the eastern mountain. Gen. 10:30
These are the sons of Shem, after their families, after their tongues, in their lands, after their nations. Gen. 10:31
These are the families of the sons of Noah, after their generations, in their nations. And from these came the distribution of the nations on the earth after the flood. Gen. 10:32
And the whole earth had one language, and the same words. Gen. 11:1
And it came to pass as they journeyed from the east, that they found a plain in the land of Shinar, and dwelt there. Gen. 11:2
And they said, Come on, let us build ourselves a city and a tower, the top of which may reach to the heavens; and let us make ourselves a name, lest we be scattered over the face of the whole earth. Gen. 11:4
And Jehovah came down to see the city and the tower which the children of men built. Gen. 11:5
And Jehovah said, Behold, the people is one, and have all one language; and this have they begun to do. And now will they be hindered in nothing that they meditate doing. Gen. 11:6
And Jehovah scattered them thence over the face of the whole earth. And they left off building the city. Gen. 11:8
Therefore was its name called Babel; because Jehovah there confounded the language of the whole earth. And Jehovah scattered them thence over the face of the whole earth. Gen. 11:9
These are the generations of Shem. Shem was a hundred years old, and begot Arphaxad two years after the flood. Gen. 11:10
And these are the generations of Terah: Terah begot Abram, Nahor, and Haran; and Haran begot Lot. Gen. 11:27
And Haran died before the face of his father Terah in the land of his nativity at Ur of the Chaldeans. Gen. 11:28
And Abram and Nahor took wives: the name of Abram's wife was Sarai; and the name of Nahor's wife, Milcah, a daughter of Haran, the father of Milcah and the father of Iscah. Gen. 11:29
And Terah took Abram his son, and Lot the son of Haran his son's son, and Sarai his daughter-in-law, his son Abram's wife; and they went forth together out of Ur of the Chaldeans, to go into the land of Canaan, and came as far as Haran, and dwelt there. Gen. 11:31
And the days of Terah were two hundred and five years; and Terah died in Haran. Gen. 11:32
And Jehovah had said to Abram, Go out of thy land, and from thy kindred, and from thy father's house, to the land that I will shew thee. Gen. 12:1
And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee; and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed. Gen. 12:3
And Abram took Sarai his wife, and Lot his brother's son, and all their possessions that they had acquired, and the souls that they had obtained in Haran, and they went out to go into the land of Canaan; and into the land of Canaan they came. Gen. 12:5
And Abram passed through the land to the place of Shechem, to the oak of Moreh. And the Canaanite was then in the land. Gen. 12:6
And he removed thence towards the mountain on the east of Bethel, and pitched his tent, having Bethel toward the west, and Ai toward the east; and there he built an altar to Jehovah, and called on the name of Jehovah. Gen. 12:8
And Abram moved onward, going on still toward the south. Gen. 12:9
And there was a famine in the land. And Abram went down to Egypt to sojourn there, for the famine was grievous in the land. Gen. 12:10
And it will come to pass when the Egyptians see thee, that they will say, She is his wife; and they will slay me, and save thee alive. Gen. 12:12
And it came to pass when Abram came into Egypt, that the Egyptians beheld the woman that she was very fair. Gen. 12:14
And the princes of Pharaoh saw her, and praised her to Pharaoh; and the woman was taken into Pharaoh's house. Gen. 12:15
And Abram went up out of Egypt, he, and his wife, and all that he had, and Lot with him, towards the south. Gen. 13:1
And he went on his journeys from the south as far as Bethel; as far as the place where his tent had been at the beginning, between Bethel and Ai; Gen. 13:3
to the place of the altar that he had made there at the first. And there Abram called on the name of Jehovah. Gen. 13:4
And the land could not support them, that they might dwell together, for their property was great; and they could not dwell together. Gen. 13:6
And there was strife between the herdsmen of Abram's cattle and the herdsmen of Lot's cattle. And the Canaanite and the Perizzite were dwelling then in the land. Gen. 13:7
Is not the whole land before thee? Separate thyself, I pray thee, from me: if to the left, then I will take the right; and if to the right, then I will take the left. Gen. 13:9
And Lot lifted up his eyes, and beheld all the plain of the Jordan that it was thoroughly watered, before Jehovah had destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah; as the garden of Jehovah, like the land of Egypt, as one goes to Zoar. Gen. 13:10
And Lot chose for himself all the plain of the Jordan; and Lot went toward the east. And they separated the one from the other: Gen. 13:11
Abram dwelt in the land of Canaan; and Lot dwelt in the cities of the plain, and pitched tents as far as Sodom. Gen. 13:12
And the people of Sodom were wicked, and great sinners before Jehovah. Gen. 13:13
And Jehovah said to Abram, after that Lot had separated himself from him, Lift up now thine eyes, and look from the place where thou art, northward and southward and eastward and westward; Gen. 13:14
for all the land that thou seest will I give to thee, and to thy seed for ever. Gen. 13:15
And I will make thy seed as the dust of the earth, so that if any one can number the dust of the earth, thy seed also will be numbered. Gen. 13:16
Arise, walk through the land according to the length of it and according to the breadth of it; for I will give it to thee. Gen. 13:17
Then Abram moved his tents, and came and dwelt by the oaks of Mamre, which are in Hebron. And he built there an altar to Jehovah. Gen. 13:18
And it came to pass in the days of Amraphel the king of Shinar, Arioch the king of El-lasar, Chedorlaomer the king of Elam, and Tidal the king of nations, Gen. 14:1
that they made war with Bera the king of Sodom, and with Birsha the king of Gomorrah, Shinab the king of Admah, and Shemeber the king of Zeboim, and the king of Bela, which is Zoar. Gen. 14:2
All these were joined in the vale of Siddim, which is the salt sea. Gen. 14:3
Twelve years had they served Chedorlaomer; and in the thirteenth year they rebelled. Gen. 14:4
And in the fourteenth year came Chedorlaomer and the kings that were with him, and smote the Rephaim in Ashteroth-karnaim, and the Zuzim in Ham, and the Emim in Shaveh-Kirjathaim, Gen. 14:5
and the Horites on their mount Seir, to El-Paran, which is by the wilderness. Gen. 14:6
And they returned, and came to En-mishpat, which is Kadesh, and smote all the country of the Amalekites, and also the Amorites that dwelt at Hazazon-Tamar. Gen. 14:7
And the king of Sodom and the king of Gomorrah, and the king of Admah, and the king of Zeboim, and the king of Bela, which is Zoar, went out, and they joined battle with them in the vale of Siddim, Gen. 14:8
with Chedorlaomer the king of Elam, and Tidal the king of nations, and Amraphel the king of Shinar, and Arioch the king of Ellasar -- four kings with the five. Gen. 14:9
And the vale of Siddim was full of pits of asphalt. And the kings of Sodom and Gomorrah fled, and fell there: and they that remained fled to the mountain. Gen. 14:10
And they took all the property of Sodom and Gomorrah, and all their victuals, and departed. Gen. 14:11
And one who had escaped came and told Abram the Hebrew. And he dwelt by the oaks of Mamre the Amorite, the brother of Eshcol, and the brother of Aner. And these were Abram's allies. Gen. 14:13
And he divided himself against them by night, he and his servants, and smote them, and pursued them as far as Hobah, which is to the left of Damascus. Gen. 14:15
And he brought back all the property, and brought again his brother Lot and his property, and the women also, and the people. Gen. 14:16
And the king of Sodom went out to meet him after he had returned from smiting Chedorlaomer, and the kings that were with him, into the valley of Shaveh, which is the king's valley. Gen. 14:17
And Melchisedec king of Salem brought out bread and wine. And he was priest of the Most High *God. Gen. 14:18
And he blessed him, and said, Blessed be Abram of the Most High *God, possessor of heavens and earth. Gen. 14:19
And blessed be the Most High *God, who has delivered thine enemies into thy hand. And he gave him the tenth of all. Gen. 14:20
And the king of Sodom said to Abram, Give me the souls, and take the property for thyself. Gen. 14:21
And Abram said to the king of Sodom, I have lifted up my hand to Jehovah, the Most High *God, possessor of heavens and earth, Gen. 14:22
save only that which the young men have eaten, and the portion of the men that went with me, Aner, Eshcol, and Mamre, let them take their portion. Gen. 14:24
After these things the word of Jehovah came to Abram in a vision, saying, Fear not, Abram; I am thy shield, thy exceeding great reward. Gen. 15:1
And Abram said, Lord Jehovah, what wilt thou give me? seeing I go childless, and the steward of my house is this Eliezer of Damascus. Gen. 15:2
And behold, the word of Jehovah came to him, saying, This shall not be thine heir, but he that will come forth out of thy body shall be thine heir. Gen. 15:4
And he led him out, and said, Look now toward the heavens, and number the stars, if thou be able to number them. And he said to him, So shall thy seed be! Gen. 15:5
And he said to him, I am Jehovah who brought thee out of Ur of the Chaldeans, to give thee this land to possess it. Gen. 15:7
And he took all these, and divided them in the midst, and laid the half of each opposite its fellow; but the birds he did not divide. Gen. 15:10
And the birds of prey came down on the carcases; and Abram scared them away. Gen. 15:11
And as the sun was just going down, a deep sleep fell upon Abram; and behold, a horror, a great darkness, fell upon him. Gen. 15:12
And in the fourth generation they shall come hither again; for the iniquity of the Amorites is not yet full. Gen. 15:16
And it came to pass when the sun had gone down, and it was dark, that behold, there was a smoking furnace, and a flame of fire which passed between those pieces. Gen. 15:17
On the same day Jehovah made a covenant with Abram, saying, Unto thy seed I give this land, from the river of Egypt to the great river, the river Euphrates; Gen. 15:18
the Kenites, and the Kenizzites, and the Kadmonites, Gen. 15:19
and the Hittites, and the Perizzites, and the Rephaim, Gen. 15:20
and the Amorites, and the Canaanites, and the Girgashites, and the Jebusites. Gen. 15:21
And Sarai said to Abram, Behold now, Jehovah has shut me up, that I do not bear. Go in, I pray thee, to my maidservant: it may be that I shall be built up by her. And Abram hearkened to the voice of Sarai. Gen. 16:2
And Sarai Abram's wife took Hagar, the Egyptian, her maidservant, at the end of ten years that Abram had dwelt in the land of Canaan, and gave her to her husband Abram, as his wife. Gen. 16:3
And the Angel of Jehovah found her by a spring of water in the wilderness, by the spring on the way to Shur. Gen. 16:7
And he said, Hagar, Sarai's maidservant, whence comest thou? and whither art thou going? And she said, I am fleeing from the face of my mistress Sarai. Gen. 16:8
And the Angel of Jehovah said to her, Return to thy mistress, and submit thyself under her hands. Gen. 16:9
And the Angel of Jehovah said to her, I will multiply thy seed exceedingly, that it shall not be numbered for multitude. Gen. 16:10
And the Angel of Jehovah said to her, Behold, thou art with child, and shalt bear a son, and shalt call his name Ishmael, because Jehovah hath hearkened to thy affliction. Gen. 16:11
And he will be a wild-ass of a man, his hand against every man, and every man's hand against him; and he shall dwell before the face of all his brethren. Gen. 16:12
And she called the name of Jehovah who spoke to her, Thou art the *God who reveals himself, for she said, Also here have I seen after he has revealed himself. Gen. 16:13
Therefore the well was named Beer-lahai-roi: behold, it is between Kadesh and Bered. Gen. 16:14
And Hagar bore Abram a son; and Abram called the name of his son whom Hagar bore, Ishmael. Gen. 16:15
And Abram was ninety-nine years old, when Jehovah appeared to Abram, and said to him, I am the Almighty *God: walk before my face, and be perfect. Gen. 17:1
And I give to thee, and to thy seed after thee, the land of thy sojourning, all the land of Canaan, for an everlasting possession; and I will be a God to them. Gen. 17:8
And ye shall circumcise the flesh of your foreskin; and that shall be a sign of the covenant between me and you. Gen. 17:11
And at eight days old shall every male in your generations be circumcised among you -- he who is born in the house, and he who is bought with money, any stranger who is not of thy seed. Gen. 17:12
And the uncircumcised male who hath not been circumcised in the flesh of his foreskin, that soul shall be cut off from his peoples: he hath broken my covenant. Gen. 17:14
But my covenant will I establish with Isaac, whom Sarah shall bear to thee at this appointed time in the next year. Gen. 17:21
And Abraham took Ishmael his son, and all who were born in his house, and all who were bought with his money -- every male among the people of Abraham's house -- and circumcised the flesh of their foreskin on that same day, as God had said to him. Gen. 17:23
And Abraham was ninety-nine years old when he was circumcised in the flesh of his foreskin. Gen. 17:24
And Ishmael his son was thirteen years old when he was circumcised in the flesh of his foreskin. Gen. 17:25
In the selfsame day was Abraham circumcised, and Ishmael his son; Gen. 17:26
and all the men of his house, born in his house, or bought with money of the stranger, were circumcised with him. Gen. 17:27
And Jehovah appeared to him by the oaks of Mamre. And he sat at the tent-door in the heat of the day. Gen. 18:1
And he lifted up his eyes and saw, and behold, three men standing near him. And when he saw them, he ran to meet them from the tent-door, and bowed himself to the earth, Gen. 18:2
Let now a little water be fetched, that ye may wash your feet, and rest yourselves under the tree. Gen. 18:4
And Abraham hastened into the tent to Sarah, and said, Knead quickly three seahs of wheaten flour, and make cakes. Gen. 18:6
And Abraham ran to the herd, and took a calf tender and good, and gave it to the attendant; and he hasted to dress it. Gen. 18:7
And he took thick and sweet milk, and the calf that he had dressed, and set it before them; and he stood before them under the tree, and they ate. Gen. 18:8
And they said to him, Where is Sarah thy wife? And he said, Behold, in the tent. Gen. 18:9
And he said, I will certainly return to thee at this time of the year, and behold, Sarah thy wife shall have a son. And Sarah was listening at the tent-door, which was behind him. Gen. 18:10
Now Abraham and Sarah were old and advanced in age: it had ceased to be with Sarah after the manner of women. Gen. 18:11
Is any matter too wonderful for Jehovah? At the time appointed I will return to thee, at this time of the year, and Sarah shall have a son. Gen. 18:14
And the men rose up thence, and looked toward Sodom; and Abraham went with them to conduct them. Gen. 18:16
Since Abraham shall indeed become a great and mighty nation; and all the nations of the earth shall be blessed in him. Gen. 18:18
For I know him that he will command his children and his household after him, and they shall keep the way of Jehovah, to do righteousness and justice, in order that Jehovah may bring upon Abraham what he hath spoken of him. Gen. 18:19
And Jehovah said, Because the cry of Sodom and Gomorrah is great and their sin is very grievous, Gen. 18:20
I will go down now, and see whether they have done altogether according to the cry of it, which is come to me; and if not, I will know it. Gen. 18:21
And the men turned thence, and went towards Sodom; and Abraham remained yet standing before Jehovah. Gen. 18:22
And Abraham drew near, and said, Wilt thou also cause the righteous to perish with the wicked? Gen. 18:23
There are perhaps fifty righteous within the city: wilt thou also destroy and not forgive the place for the sake of the fifty righteous that are therein? Gen. 18:24
Far be it from thee to do so, to slay the righteous with the wicked, that the righteous should be as the wicked -- far be it from thee! Will not the Judge of all the earth do right? Gen. 18:25
And Jehovah said, If I find at Sodom fifty righteous within the city, then I will forgive all the place for their sakes. Gen. 18:26
And Abraham answered and said, Behold now, I have ventured to speak unto the Lord; I, who am dust and ashes. Gen. 18:27
Perhaps there may want five of the fifty righteous: wilt thou destroy all the city on account of the five? And he said, If I shall find forty-five there, I will not destroy it. Gen. 18:28
And he continued yet to speak with him, and said, Perhaps there may be forty found there. And he said, I will not do it for the forty's sake. Gen. 18:29
And he said, Oh, let not the Lord be angry that I speak! Perhaps there may be thirty found there. And he said, I will not do it if I find thirty there. Gen. 18:30
And he said, Behold now, I have ventured to speak with the Lord. Perhaps there may be twenty found there. And he said, I will not destroy it for the twenty's sake. Gen. 18:31
And he said, Oh, let not the Lord be angry, that I speak yet but this time! Perhaps there may be ten found there. And he said, I will not destroy it for the ten's sake. Gen. 18:32
And the two angels came to Sodom at even. And Lot was sitting in the gate of Sodom. And Lot saw them, and rose up to meet them; and he bowed down, the face toward the ground, Gen. 19:1
and he said, Behold now, my lords, turn in, I pray you, into your servant's house, and lodge, and wash your feet; and ye shall rise up early, and go on your way. And they said, No; but we will pass the night in the open place. Gen. 19:2
Before they lay down, the men of the city, the men of Sodom, surrounded the house, from the youngest to the oldest -- all the people from every quarter. Gen. 19:4
And they called to Lot, and said to him, Where are the men that have come in to thee to-night? bring them out to us that we may know them. Gen. 19:5
And Lot went out to them to the entrance, and shut the door after him, Gen. 19:6
Behold now, I have two daughters who have not known a man: let me now bring them out to you; and do to them as is good in your sight: only, to these men do nothing; for therefore have they come under the shadow of my roof. Gen. 19:8
And they said, Back there! And they said again, This one came to sojourn, and he must be a judge? Now we will deal worse with thee than with them. And they pressed hard on the man -- on Lot; and drew near to break the door. Gen. 19:9
And the men stretched out their hand, and brought Lot into the house to them, and shut the door. Gen. 19:10
And they smote the men that were at the entrance of the house with blindness, from the smallest to the greatest; and they wearied themselves to find the entrance. Gen. 19:11
And the men said to Lot, Whom hast thou here besides? a son-in-law, and thy sons, and thy daughters, and all whom thou hast in the city -- bring them out of the place. Gen. 19:12
For we are going to destroy this place, because the cry of them is great before Jehovah, and Jehovah has sent us to destroy it. Gen. 19:13
And Lot went out, and spoke to his sons-in-law, who had married his daughters, and said, Up, go out of this place, for Jehovah will destroy the city. But he was as if he jested, in the sight of his sons-in-law. Gen. 19:14
And as the dawn arose, the angels urged Lot, saying, Up, take thy wife and thy two daughters who are present, lest thou perish in the iniquity of the city. Gen. 19:15
And as he lingered, the men laid hold on his hand, and on the hand of his wife, and on the hand of his two daughters, Jehovah being merciful to him; and they led him out, and set him without the city. Gen. 19:16
And it came to pass when they had brought them outside, that he said, Escape for thy life: look not behind thee, neither stay thou in all the plain: escape to the mountain, lest thou perish. Gen. 19:17
behold now, thy servant has found favour in thine eyes, and thou hast magnified thy goodness, which thou hast shewn to me in preserving my soul alive; but I cannot escape to the mountain, lest calamity lay hold on me, that I die. Gen. 19:19
And he said to him, Behold, I have accepted thee concerning this thing also, that I will not overthrow the city of which thou hast spoken. Gen. 19:21
Haste, escape thither; for I cannot do anything until thou art come there. Therefore the name of the city is called Zoar. Gen. 19:22
The sun rose upon the earth when Lot came to Zoar. Gen. 19:23
and overthrew those cities, and all the plain, and all the inhabitants of the cities, and what grew upon the ground. Gen. 19:25
And Abraham rose early in the morning and went to the place where he had stood before Jehovah; Gen. 19:27
and he looked toward Sodom and Gomorrah, and toward all the land of the plain, and beheld, and lo, a smoke went up from the land as the smoke of a furnace. Gen. 19:28
And it came to pass when God destroyed the cities of the plain, that God remembered Abraham, and sent Lot out of the midst of the overthrow, when he overthrew the cities in which Lot dwelt. Gen. 19:29
And Lot went up from Zoar, and dwelt in the mountain, and his two daughters with him; for he feared to dwell in Zoar. And he dwelt in a cave, he and his two daughters. Gen. 19:30
And the first-born said to the younger, Our father is old, and there is not a man in the land to come in to us after the manner of all the earth: Gen. 19:31
And they gave their father wine to drink that night. And the first-born went in, and lay with her father, and he did not know of her lying down, nor of her rising. Gen. 19:33
And it came to pass on the next day that the first-born said to the younger, Lo, I lay last night with my father: let us give him wine to drink to-night also, and go thou in, lie with him, that we may preserve seed alive of our father. Gen. 19:34
And they gave their father wine to drink that night also. And the younger arose, and lay with him; and he did not know of her lying down, nor of her rising. Gen. 19:35
And both the daughters of Lot were with child by their father. Gen. 19:36
And the first-born bore a son, and called his name Moab: the same is the father of the Moabites to this day. Gen. 19:37
And the younger, she also bore a son, and called his name Ben-ammi; the same is the father of the children of Ammon to this day. Gen. 19:38
And Abraham departed thence towards the south country, and dwelt between Kadesh and Shur, and sojourned at Gerar. Gen. 20:1
And Abraham said of Sarah his wife, She is my sister. And Abimelech the king of Gerar sent and took Sarah. Gen. 20:2
But God came to Abimelech in a dream by night, and said to him, Behold, thou art but a dead man, because of the woman that thou hast taken; for she is a man's wife. Gen. 20:3
Did he not say to me, She is my sister? and she, even she said, He is my brother. In the integrity of my heart and in the innocency of my hands have I done this. Gen. 20:5
And God said to him in a dream, I also knew that thou didst this in the integrity of thy heart, and I, too, have withheld thee from sinning against me: therefore have I not suffered thee to touch her. Gen. 20:6
And now, restore the man's wife; for he is a prophet, and will pray for thee, that thou mayest live. And if thou do not restore her, know that thou shalt certainly die, thou and all that is thine. Gen. 20:7
And Abimelech rose early in the morning, and called all his servants, and spoke all these words in their ears; and the men were greatly afraid. Gen. 20:8
And Abraham said, Because I said, Surely the fear of God is not in this place, and they will kill me for my wife's sake. Gen. 20:11
But she is also truly my sister, the daughter of my father, but not the daughter of my mother; and she became my wife. Gen. 20:12
And to Sarah he said, Behold, I have given thy brother a thousand pieces of silver; behold, let that be to thee a covering of the eyes, in respect of all that are with thee, and with all; and she was reproved. Gen. 20:16
For Jehovah had fast closed up all the wombs of the house of Abimelech because of Sarah Abraham's wife. Gen. 20:18
And Sarah conceived, and bore Abraham a son in his old age, at the appointed time of which God had spoken to him. Gen. 21:2
And Abraham called the name of his son who was born to him, whom Sarah bore to him, Isaac. Gen. 21:3
And the child grew, and was weaned. And Abraham made a great feast on the day that Isaac was weaned. Gen. 21:8
And Sarah saw the son of Hagar the Egyptian, whom she had borne to Abraham, mocking. Gen. 21:9
And she said to Abraham, Cast out this handmaid and her son; for the son of this handmaid shall not inherit with my son -- with Isaac. Gen. 21:10
And the thing was very grievous in Abraham's sight because of his son. Gen. 21:11
And God said to Abraham, Let it not be grievous in thy sight because of the lad and because of thy handmaid: in all that Sarah hath said to thee hearken to her voice, for in Isaac shall a seed be called to thee. Gen. 21:12
But also the son of the handmaid will I make a nation, because he is thy seed. Gen. 21:13
And Abraham rose up early in the morning, and took bread, and a flask of water, and gave it to Hagar, putting it on her shoulder -- and the child, and sent her away. And she departed, and wandered about in the wilderness of Beer-sheba. Gen. 21:14
And the water was exhausted from the flask; and she cast the child under one of the shrubs, Gen. 21:15
and she went and sat down over against him, a bow-shot off; for she said, Let me not behold the death of the child. And she sat over against him, and lifted up her voice and wept. Gen. 21:16
And God heard the voice of the lad. And the Angel of God called to Hagar from the heavens, and said to her, What aileth thee, Hagar? Fear not; for God hath heard the voice of the lad there, where he is. Gen. 21:17
Arise, take the lad, and hold him in thy hand; for I will make of him a great nation. Gen. 21:18
And God opened her eyes, and she saw a well of water; and she went and filled the flask with water, and gave the lad drink. Gen. 21:19
And God was with the lad, and he grew; and he dwelt in the wilderness, and became an archer. Gen. 21:20
And he dwelt in the wilderness of Paran. And his mother took him a wife out of the land of Egypt. Gen. 21:21
And it came to pass at that time that Abimelech, and Phichol the captain of his host, spoke to Abraham, saying, God is with thee in all that thou doest. Gen. 21:22
And now swear to me here by God that thou wilt not deal deceitfully with me, nor with my son, nor with my grandson. According to the kindness that I have done to thee, thou shalt do to me, and to the land in which thou sojournest. Gen. 21:23
And Abraham set seven ewe-lambs of the flock by themselves. Gen. 21:28
And he said, That thou take the seven ewe-lambs of my hand, that they may be a witness to me that I have dug this well. Gen. 21:30
And they made a covenant at Beer-sheba. And Abimelech rose up, and Phichol the captain of his host, and returned into the land of the Philistines. Gen. 21:32
And Abraham planted a tamarisk in Beer-sheba, and called there on the name of Jehovah, the Eternal *God. Gen. 21:33
And Abraham sojourned in the Philistines' land many days. Gen. 21:34
And he said, Take now thy son, thine only son, whom thou lovest, Isaac, and get thee into the land of Moriah, and there offer him up for a burnt-offering on one of the mountains which I will tell thee of. Gen. 22:2
And Abraham rose early in the morning, and saddled his ass, and took two of his young men with him, and Isaac his son; and he clave the wood for the burnt-offering, and rose up and went to the place that God had told him of. Gen. 22:3
On the third day Abraham lifted up his eyes and saw the place from afar. Gen. 22:4
And Abraham said to his young men, Abide ye here with the ass; and I and the lad will go yonder and worship, and come again to you. Gen. 22:5
And Abraham took the wood of the burnt-offering, and laid it on Isaac his son; and he took the fire in his hand, and the knife, and they went both of them together. Gen. 22:6
And Isaac spoke to Abraham his father, and said, My father! And he said, Here am I, my son. And he said, Behold the fire and the wood; but where is the sheep for a burnt-offering? Gen. 22:7
And Abraham said, My son, God will provide himself with the sheep for a burnt-offering. And they went both of them together. Gen. 22:8
And they came to the place of which God had told him. And Abraham built the altar there, and piled the wood; and he bound Isaac his son, and laid him on the altar upon the wood. Gen. 22:9
And Abraham stretched out his hand, and took the knife to slaughter his son. Gen. 22:10
And the Angel of Jehovah called to him from the heavens, and said, Abraham, Abraham! And he said, Here am I. Gen. 22:11
And he said, Stretch not out thy hand against the lad, neither do anything to him; for now I know that thou fearest God, and hast not withheld thy son, thine only son, from me. Gen. 22:12
And Abraham lifted up his eyes, and looked, and behold, behind was a ram caught in the thicket by its horns; and Abraham went and took the ram, and offered it up for a burnt-offering instead of his son. Gen. 22:13
And Abraham called the name of that place Jehovah-jireh; as it is said at the present day, On the mount of Jehovah will be provided. Gen. 22:14
And the Angel of Jehovah called to Abraham from the heavens a second time, Gen. 22:15
I will richly bless thee, and greatly multiply thy seed, as the stars of heaven, and as the sand that is on the sea-shore; and thy seed shall possess the gate of his enemies; Gen. 22:17
and in thy seed shall all the nations of the earth bless themselves, because thou hast hearkened to my voice. Gen. 22:18
Uz his first-born, and Buz his brother, and Kemuel the father of Aram, Gen. 22:21
And the life of Sarah was a hundred and twenty-seven years: these were the years of the life of Sarah. Gen. 23:1
And Sarah died in Kirjath-Arba: that is Hebron, in the land of Canaan. And Abraham came to mourn for Sarah, and to weep for her. Gen. 23:2
And Abraham rose up from before his dead, and spoke to the sons of Heth, saying, Gen. 23:3
And the sons of Heth answered Abraham, saying to him, Gen. 23:5
Hear us, my lord: thou art a prince of God among us: in the choicest of our sepulchres bury thy dead: none of us shall withhold from thee his sepulchre for burying thy dead. Gen. 23:6
And Abraham rose up, and bowed down to the people of the land, to the sons of Heth, Gen. 23:7
and spoke to them, saying, If it be your will that I should bury my dead from before me, hear me, and entreat for me Ephron the son of Zohar, Gen. 23:8
that he may give me the cave of Machpelah, which is his, which is at the end of his field; for the full money let him give it to me amongst you for a possession of a sepulchre. Gen. 23:9
And Ephron was dwelling among the sons of Heth. And Ephron the Hittite answered Abraham, in the ears of the sons of Heth, even of all that went in at the gate of his city, saying, Gen. 23:10
No, my lord: hear me. The field give I thee; and the cave that is in it, to thee I give it; before the eyes of the sons of my people give I it thee: bury thy dead. Gen. 23:11
And Abraham bowed down before the people of the land; Gen. 23:12
and he spoke to Ephron, in the ears of the people of the land, saying, But if only thou wouldst listen to me, I give the money for the field: take it of me, and I will bury my dead there. Gen. 23:13
And Abraham hearkened to Ephron; and Abraham weighed to Ephron the money that he had named in the ears of the sons of Heth -- four hundred shekels of silver, current with the merchant. Gen. 23:16
So the field of Ephron, which was at Machpelah, which was before Mamre, the field, and the cave that was in it, and all the trees that were in the field, that were in all its borders round about, Gen. 23:17
were assured to Abraham for a possession before the eyes of the sons of Heth, before all who went in at the gate of his city. Gen. 23:18
And after this, Abraham buried Sarah his wife in the cave of the field at Machpelah, opposite to Mamre: that is Hebron, in the land of Canaan. Gen. 23:19
And the field and the cave that was in it were assured to Abraham for a possession of a sepulchre by the sons of Heth. Gen. 23:20
And Abraham said to his servant, the eldest of his house, who ruled over all that he had, Put thy hand, I pray thee, under my thigh, Gen. 24:2
and I will make thee swear by Jehovah, the God of the heavens and the God of the earth, that thou take not a wife for my son of the daughters of the Canaanites, among whom I am dwelling; Gen. 24:3
And the servant said to him, Perhaps the woman will not be willing to follow me to this land: must I, then, bring thy son again in any case to the land from which thou hast removed? Gen. 24:5
Jehovah the God of the heavens, who took me out of my father's house, and out of the land of my nativity, and who has spoken to me, and who has sworn to me, saying, Unto thy seed will I give this land -- he will send his angel before thee, that thou mayest take a wife for my son thence. Gen. 24:7
And if the woman be not willing to follow thee, then thou shalt be quit of this my oath: only, bring not my son thither again. Gen. 24:8
And the servant put his hand under the thigh of Abraham his master, and swore unto him concerning that matter. Gen. 24:9
And the servant took ten camels of the camels of his master, and departed; now all the treasure of his master was under his hand; and he arose and went to Aram-naharaim, to the city of Nahor. Gen. 24:10
And he made the camels kneel down outside the city by a well of water, at the time of the evening, when the women came out to draw water. Gen. 24:11
Behold, I stand here by the well of water, and the daughters of the men of the city come out to draw water. Gen. 24:13
And let it come to pass, that the maiden to whom I shall say, Let down thy pitcher, I pray thee, that I may drink, and who will say, Drink, and I will give thy camels drink also, be she whom thou hast appointed for thy servant Isaac; and hereby I shall know that thou hast dealt kindly with my master. Gen. 24:14
And it came to pass before he had ended speaking, that behold, Rebecca came out, who was born to Bethuel, son of Milcah the wife of Nahor, Abraham's brother; and she had her pitcher upon her shoulder. Gen. 24:15
And the maiden was very fair in countenance; a virgin, and no man had known her. And she went down to the well, and filled her pitcher, and came up. Gen. 24:16
And the servant ran to meet her, and said, Let me, I pray thee, sip a little water out of thy pitcher. Gen. 24:17
And she hasted and emptied her pitcher into the trough, and ran again to the well to draw water; and she drew for all his camels. Gen. 24:20
And the man was astonished at her, remaining silent, to know whether Jehovah had made his journey prosperous or not. Gen. 24:21
And it came to pass when the camels had drunk enough, that the man took a gold ring, of half a shekel weight, and two bracelets for her hands, ten shekels weight of gold, Gen. 24:22
And she said to him, I am the daughter of Bethuel the son of Milcah, whom she bore to Nahor. Gen. 24:24
And the man stooped, and bowed down before Jehovah, Gen. 24:26
and said, Blessed be Jehovah, God of my master Abraham, who has not withdrawn his loving-kindness and his faithfulness from my master; I being in the way, Jehovah has led me to the house of my master's brethren. Gen. 24:27
And the maiden ran and told these things to her mother's house. Gen. 24:28
And Rebecca had a brother, named Laban; and Laban ran out to the man, to the well. Gen. 24:29
And it came to pass when he saw the ring and the bracelets on his sister's hand, and when he heard the words of Rebecca his sister, saying, Thus spoke the man to me -- that he came to the man, and behold, he was standing by the camels, by the well. Gen. 24:30
And he said, Come in, blessed of Jehovah! why standest thou outside? for I have prepared the house, and room for the camels. Gen. 24:31
And the man came into the house; and he ungirded the camels, and gave the camels straw and provender, and water to wash his feet, and the feet of the men who were with him. Gen. 24:32
And my master made me swear, saying, Thou shalt not take a wife for my son of the daughters of the Canaanite, in whose land I am dwelling; Gen. 24:37
And I said to my master, Perhaps the woman will not follow me? Gen. 24:39
And I came this day to the well, and said, Jehovah, God of my master Abraham, if now thou wilt prosper my way on which I go, Gen. 24:42
behold, I stand by the well of water, and let it come to pass that the damsel who cometh forth to draw water, and to whom I shall say, Give me, I pray thee, a little water out of thy pitcher to drink, Gen. 24:43
and she shall say to me, Both drink thou, and I will also draw for thy camels -- that she should be the woman whom Jehovah hath appointed for my master's son. Gen. 24:44
Before I ended speaking in my heart, behold, Rebecca came forth with her pitcher on her shoulder, and went down to the well, and drew water; and I said to her, Give me, I pray thee, to drink. Gen. 24:45
And she hasted and let down her pitcher from her shoulder, and said, Drink, and I will give thy camels drink also. And I drank; and she gave the camels drink also. Gen. 24:46
And I asked her, and said, Whose daughter art thou? And she said, The daughter of Bethuel, Nahor's son, whom Milcah bore to him. And I put the ring on her nose, and the bracelets on her hands. Gen. 24:47
And I stooped, and bowed down before Jehovah; and I blessed Jehovah, God of my master Abraham, who has led me the right way to take my master's brother's daughter for his son. Gen. 24:48
And now, if ye will deal kindly and truly with my master, tell me; and if not, tell me; and I will turn to the right hand or to the left. Gen. 24:49
And Laban and Bethuel answered and said, The thing proceeds from Jehovah: we cannot speak to thee bad or good. Gen. 24:50
And it came to pass, when Abraham's servant heard their words, that he bowed down to the earth before Jehovah. Gen. 24:52
And the servant brought forth silver articles, and gold articles, and clothing, and he gave them to Rebecca; and he gave to her brother, and to her mother, precious things. Gen. 24:53
And they ate and drank, he and the men that were with him, and lodged. And they rose up in the morning; and he said, Send me away to my master. Gen. 24:54
And her brother and her mother said, Let the maiden abide with us some days, or say ten; after that she shall go. Gen. 24:55
And they said, Let us call the maiden and inquire at her mouth. Gen. 24:57
And they blessed Rebecca, and said to her, Thou art our sister; mayest thou become thousands of tens of thousands; and may thy seed possess the gate of their enemies! Gen. 24:60
And Rebecca arose, and her maids, and they rode upon the camels, and followed the man. And the servant took Rebecca, and went away. Gen. 24:61
And Isaac had just returned from Beer-lahai-roi; for he was dwelling in the south country. Gen. 24:62
And Isaac had gone out to meditate in the fields toward the beginning of evening. And he lifted up his eyes and saw, and behold, camels were coming. Gen. 24:63
And Rebecca lifted up her eyes and saw Isaac, and she sprang off the camel. Gen. 24:64
And she had said to the servant, Who is the man that is walking in the fields to meet us? And the servant said, That is my master! Then she took the veil, and covered herself. Gen. 24:65
And the servant told Isaac all things that he had done. Gen. 24:66
And Isaac led her into his mother Sarah's tent; and he took Rebecca, and she became his wife, and he loved her. And Isaac was comforted after the death of his mother. Gen. 24:67
And Jokshan begot Sheba and Dedan; and the sons of Dedan were the Asshurim, and the Letushim, and the Leummim. Gen. 25:3
And the sons of Midian were Ephah, and Epher, and Enoch, and Abida, and Eldaah. All these were sons of Keturah. Gen. 25:4
And to the sons of the concubines that Abraham had, Abraham gave gifts, and, while he yet lived, sent them away from Isaac his son, eastward to the east country. Gen. 25:6
And these are the days of the years of Abraham's life which he lived: a hundred and seventy-five years. Gen. 25:7
And his sons Isaac and Ishmael buried him in the cave of Machpelah, in the field of Ephron the son of Zohar the Hittite, which was opposite to Mamre -- Gen. 25:9
the field that Abraham had purchased of the sons of Heth: there was Abraham buried, and Sarah his wife. Gen. 25:10
And it came to pass after the death of Abraham, that God blessed his son Isaac. And Isaac dwelt at Beer-lahai-roi. Gen. 25:11
And these are the generations of Ishmael, Abraham's son, whom Hagar the Egyptian, Sarah's bondwoman, bore to Abraham. Gen. 25:12
And these are the names of the sons of Ishmael by their names according to their generations: Nebaioth, the firstborn of Ishmael; and Kedar, and Adbeel, and Mibsam, Gen. 25:13
These are the sons of Ishmael, and these are their names, in their hamlets and their encampments -- twelve princes of their peoples. Gen. 25:16
And these are the years of the life of Ishmael: a hundred and thirty-seven years; and he expired and died, and was gathered to his peoples. Gen. 25:17
And they dwelt from Havilah to Shur, which is opposite to Egypt, as one goes towards Assyria. He settled before the face of all his brethren. Gen. 25:18
And these are the generations of Isaac, Abraham's son. Abraham begot Isaac. Gen. 25:19
And Isaac was forty years old when he took Rebecca as wife, the daughter of Bethuel the Syrian of Padan-Aram, the sister of Laban the Syrian. Gen. 25:20
And the children struggled together within her; and she said, If it be so, why am I thus? And she went to inquire of Jehovah. Gen. 25:22
And Jehovah said to her, Two nations are in thy womb, And two peoples shall be separated from thy bowels; And one people shall be stronger than the other people, And the elder shall serve the younger. Gen. 25:23
And the first came out red -- all over like a hairy garment; and they called his name Esau. Gen. 25:25
And the boys grew, and Esau became a man skilled in hunting, a man of the field; and Jacob was a homely man, dwelling in tents. Gen. 25:27
And Jacob had cooked a dish; and Esau came from the field, and he was faint. Gen. 25:29
And Esau said to Jacob, Feed me, I pray thee, with the red -- the red thing there, for I am faint. Therefore was his name called Edom. Gen. 25:30
And Esau said, Behold, I am going to die, and of what use can the birthright be to me? Gen. 25:32
And Jacob gave Esau bread and the dish of lentils; and he ate and drank, and rose up and went away. Thus Esau despised the birthright. Gen. 25:34
And there was a famine in the land, besides the former famine which had been in the days of Abraham. And Isaac went to Abimelech the king of the Philistines, to Gerar. Gen. 26:1
And Jehovah appeared to him and said, Go not down to Egypt: dwell in the land that I shall tell thee of. Gen. 26:2
Sojourn in this land; and I will be with thee and bless thee; for unto thee, and unto thy seed, I will give all these countries; and I will perform the oath which I swore unto Abraham thy father. Gen. 26:3
And I will multiply thy seed as the stars of heaven, and unto thy seed will I give all these countries; and in thy seed shall all the nations of the earth bless themselves -- Gen. 26:4
And the men of the place asked about his wife. And he said, She is my sister; for he feared to say, my wife, saying to himself, Lest the men of the place slay me on account of Rebecca -- because she was fair in countenance. Gen. 26:7
And it came to pass when he had been there some time, that Abimelech the king of the Philistines looked out of the window, and saw, and behold, Isaac was dallying with Rebecca his wife. Gen. 26:8
And Abimelech said, What is this thou hast done to us? But a little and one of the people might have lain with thy wife, and thou wouldest have brought a trespass on us. Gen. 26:10
And Abimelech charged all the people, saying, He that touches this man or his wife shall certainly be put to death. Gen. 26:11
And Isaac sowed in that land, and received in the same year a hundredfold; and Jehovah blessed him. Gen. 26:12
And the man became great, and he became continually greater, until he was very great. Gen. 26:13
And he had possessions of flocks, and possessions of herds, and a great number of servants; and the Philistines envied him. Gen. 26:14
And all the wells that his father's servants had dug in the days of Abraham his father, the Philistines stopped them and filled them with earth. Gen. 26:15
And Isaac departed thence, and pitched his camp in the valley of Gerar, and dwelt there. Gen. 26:17
And Isaac dug again the wells of water that they had dug in the days of Abraham his father, and that the Philistines had stopped after the death of Abraham; and he called their names after the names by which his father had called them. Gen. 26:18
And Isaac's servants dug in the valley, and found there a well of springing water. Gen. 26:19
But the shepherds of Gerar strove with Isaac's shepherds, saying, The water is ours. And he called the name of the well Esek, because they had quarrelled with him. Gen. 26:20
And they dug another well, and they strove for that also; and he called the name of it Sitnah. Gen. 26:21
And he removed thence and dug another well; and they did not strive for that. And he called the name of it Rehoboth, and said, For now Jehovah has made room for us, and we shall be fruitful in the land. Gen. 26:22
And Jehovah appeared to him the same night, and said, I am the God of Abraham thy father: fear not, for I am with thee, and will bless thee, and multiply thy seed for my servant Abraham's sake. Gen. 26:24
And he built an altar there, and called upon the name of Jehovah. And he pitched his tent there; and there Isaac's servants dug a well. Gen. 26:25
And Abimelech, and Ahuzzath his friend, and Phichol the captain of his host, went to him from Gerar. Gen. 26:26
And they rose early in the morning, and swore one to another; and Isaac sent them away, and they departed from him in peace. Gen. 26:31
And it came to pass the same day, that Isaac's servants came, and told him concerning the well that they had dug, and said to him, We have found water. Gen. 26:32
And he called it Shebah; therefore the name of the city is Beer-sheba to this day. Gen. 26:33
And Esau was forty years old, when he took as wives Judith the daughter of Beeri the Hittite, and Basmath the daughter of Elon the Hittite. Gen. 26:34
And he said, Behold now, I am become old; I know not the day of my death. Gen. 27:2
And now, I pray thee, take thy weapons, thy quiver and thy bow, and go out to the field and hunt me venison, Gen. 27:3
And Rebecca heard when Isaac spoke to Esau his son. And Esau went to the field to hunt venison, to bring it. Gen. 27:5
Go, I pray thee, to the flock, and fetch me thence two good kids of the goats. And I will make of them a savoury dish for thy father, such as he loves. Gen. 27:9
And Rebecca took the clothes of her elder son Esau, the costly ones which were with her in the house, and put them on Jacob her younger son; Gen. 27:15
and she put the skins of the kids of the goats on his hands, and on the smooth of his neck; Gen. 27:16
and she gave the savoury dishes and the bread that she had prepared into the hand of her son Jacob. Gen. 27:17
And Jacob drew near to Isaac his father; and he felt him, and said, The voice is Jacob's voice, but the hands are the hands of Esau. Gen. 27:22
And he came near, and kissed him. And he smelt the smell of his clothes, and blessed him, and said, See, the smell of my son is as the smell of a field which Jehovah hath blessed. Gen. 27:27
And God give thee of the dew of heaven, And of the fatness of the earth, And plenty of corn and new wine. Gen. 27:28
When Esau heard the words of his father, he cried with a great and exceeding bitter cry, and said to his father, Bless me -- me also, my father! Gen. 27:34
And Isaac his father answered and said to him, Behold, thy dwelling shall be of the fatness of the earth, And of the dew of heaven from above; Gen. 27:39
And Esau hated Jacob because of the blessing with which his father had blessed him. And Esau said in his heart, The days of mourning for my father are at hand, and I will slay my brother Jacob. Gen. 27:41
And the words of Esau her elder son were told to Rebecca. And she sent and called Jacob her younger son, and said to him, Behold, thy brother Esau, as touching thee, comforts himself that he will kill thee. Gen. 27:42
And Rebecca said to Isaac, I am weary of my life because of the daughters of Heth. If Jacob take a wife of the daughters of Heth, such as these, of the daughters of the land, what good should my life do me? Gen. 27:46
And Isaac called Jacob, and blessed him, and charged him, and said to him, Thou shalt not take a wife of the daughters of Canaan. Gen. 28:1
Arise, go to Padan-Aram, to the house of Bethuel thy mother's father, and take a wife thence of the daughters of Laban thy mother's brother. Gen. 28:2
And the Almighty *God bless thee, and make thee fruitful and multiply thee, that thou mayest become a company of peoples. Gen. 28:3
And may he give thee the blessing of Abraham, to thee and to thy seed with thee, in order that thou mayest possess the land of thy sojourning, which God gave to Abraham! Gen. 28:4
And Isaac sent away Jacob; and he went to Padan-Aram, to Laban the son of Bethuel the Syrian, the brother of Rebecca, Jacob's and Esau's mother. Gen. 28:5
And Esau saw that Isaac had blessed Jacob, and sent him away to Padan-Aram, to take a wife thence, blessing him, and giving him a charge saying, Thou shalt not take a wife of the daughters of Canaan; Gen. 28:6
And Esau saw that the daughters of Canaan were evil in the sight of Isaac his father. Gen. 28:8
And Esau went to Ishmael, and took, besides the wives that he had, Mahalath the daughter of Ishmael Abraham's son, the sister of Nebaioth, to be his wife. Gen. 28:9
And he lighted on a certain place, and lodged there, because the sun had set. And he took one of the stones of the place, and made it his pillow, and lay down in that place. Gen. 28:11
And he dreamed, and behold, a ladder was set up on the earth, and the top of it reached to the heavens. And behold, angels of God ascended and descended upon it. Gen. 28:12
And behold, Jehovah stood above it. And he said, I am Jehovah, the God of Abraham, thy father, and the God of Isaac: the land on which thou liest, to thee will I give it, and to thy seed. Gen. 28:13
And thy seed shall be as the dust of the earth, and thou shalt spread abroad to the west, and to the east, and to the north, and to the south; and in thee and in thy seed shall all the families of the earth be blessed. Gen. 28:14
And he was afraid, and said, How dreadful is this place! this is none other but the house of God, and this is the gate of heaven. Gen. 28:17
And Jacob rose early in the morning, and took the stone that he had made his pillow, and set it up for a pillar, and poured oil on the top of it. Gen. 28:18
And he called the name of that place Beth-el; but the name of that city was Luz at the first. Gen. 28:19
And this stone, which I have set up for a pillar, shall be God's house; and of all that thou wilt give me I will without fail give the tenth to thee. Gen. 28:22
And Jacob continued his journey, and went into the land of the children of the east. Gen. 29:1
And he looked, and behold, there was a well in the fields, and behold there, three flocks of sheep were lying by it; for out of that well they watered the flocks, and a great stone was at the mouth of the well. Gen. 29:2
And when all the flocks were gathered there, they rolled the stone from the mouth of the well, and watered the sheep, and put the stone again on the mouth of the well in its place. Gen. 29:3
And he said to them, Do ye know Laban the son of Nahor? And they said, We do know him. Gen. 29:5
And he said to them, Is he well? And they said, He is well; and behold, there comes Rachel his daughter with the sheep. Gen. 29:6
And he said, Behold, it is yet high day; it is not time that the cattle should be gathered together; water the sheep, and go, feed them. Gen. 29:7
And they said, We cannot until all the flocks are gathered together, and they roll the stone from the mouth of the well, and we water the sheep. Gen. 29:8
And it came to pass when Jacob saw Rachel the daughter of Laban his mother's brother, and the sheep of Laban his mother's brother, that Jacob went near, and rolled the stone from the mouth of the well, and watered the sheep of Laban his mother's brother. Gen. 29:10
And it came to pass when Laban heard the tidings of Jacob his sister's son, that he ran to meet him, and embraced him, and kissed him, and brought him to his house; and he told Laban all these things. Gen. 29:13
And Laban had two daughters: the name of the elder was Leah, and the name of the younger, Rachel. Gen. 29:16
And the eyes of Leah were tender; but Rachel was of beautiful form and beautiful countenance. Gen. 29:17
And Laban gathered together all the men of the place, and made a feast. Gen. 29:22
And it came to pass in the evening, that he took Leah his daughter, and brought her to him; and he went in to her. Gen. 29:23
And it came to pass in the morning, that behold, it was Leah. And he said to Laban, What is this thou hast done to me? Have I not served thee for Rachel? Why then hast thou deceived me? Gen. 29:25
And Laban said, It is not so done in our place, to give the younger before the firstborn. Gen. 29:26
Fulfil the week with this one: then we will give thee the other one also, for the service that thou shalt serve me yet seven other years. Gen. 29:27
And Jacob did so, and fulfilled the week with this one, and he gave him Rachel his daughter to be his wife. Gen. 29:28
And Jacob's anger was kindled against Rachel, and he said, Am I in God's stead, who has withheld from thee the fruit of the womb? Gen. 30:2
And Leah said, Happy am I; for the daughters will call me blessed! and she called his name Asher. Gen. 30:13
And Reuben went out in the days of wheat-harvest, and found mandrakes in the fields; and he brought them to his mother Leah. And Rachel said to Leah, Give me, I pray thee, of thy son's mandrakes. Gen. 30:14
And when Jacob came from the fields in the evening, Leah went out to meet him, and said, Thou must come in to me, for indeed I have hired thee with my son's mandrakes. And he lay with her that night. Gen. 30:16
For it was little that thou hadst before me, and it is increased to a multitude, and Jehovah has blessed thee from the time I came; and now, when shall I also provide for my house? Gen. 30:30
I will pass through all thy flock to-day, to remove thence all the speckled and spotted sheep, and all the brown lambs, and the spotted and speckled among the goats; and that shall be my hire. Gen. 30:32
And my righteousness shall answer for me hereafter, when thou comest about my hire, before thy face: all that is not speckled and spotted among the goats, and brown among the lambs, let that be stolen with me. Gen. 30:33
And he removed that day the he-goats that were ringstraked and spotted, and all the she-goats that were speckled and spotted, every one that had white in it, and all the brown among the lambs, and gave them into the hand of his sons. Gen. 30:35
And he put three days' journey between himself and Jacob. And Jacob fed the rest of Laban's flock. Gen. 30:36
And Jacob took fresh rods of white poplar, almond-tree, and maple; and peeled off white stripes in them, uncovering the white which was on the rods. Gen. 30:37
And he set the rods which he had peeled before the flock, in the troughs at the watering-places where the flock came to drink, and they were ardent when they came to drink. Gen. 30:38
And the flock was ardent before the rods; and the flock brought forth ringstraked, speckled, and spotted. Gen. 30:39
And Jacob separated the lambs, and set the faces of the flock toward the ringstraked, and all the brown in the flock of Laban; and he made himself separate flocks, and did not put them with Laban's flock. Gen. 30:40
And it came to pass whensoever the strong cattle were ardent, that Jacob laid the rods before the eyes of the flock in the gutters, that they might become ardent among the rods; Gen. 30:41
but when the sheep were feeble, he put them not in; so the feeble were Laban's, and the strong Jacob's. Gen. 30:42
And the man increased very, very much, and had much cattle, and bondwomen, and bondmen, and camels, and asses. Gen. 30:43
And he heard the words of Laban's sons, saying, Jacob has taken away all that was our father's, and of what was our father's he has acquired all this glory. Gen. 31:1
And Jacob saw the countenance of Laban, and behold, it was not toward him as previously. Gen. 31:2
And Jehovah said to Jacob, Return into the land of thy fathers, and to thy kindred; and I will be with thee. Gen. 31:3
And Jacob sent and called Rachel and Leah to the fields to his flock, Gen. 31:4
and said to them, I see your father's countenance, that it is not toward me as previously; but the God of my father has been with me. Gen. 31:5
If he said thus; The speckled shall be thy hire, then all the flocks bore speckled; and if he said thus: The ringstraked shall be thy hire, then all the flocks bore ringstraked. Gen. 31:8
And God has taken away the cattle of your father, and given them to me. Gen. 31:9
And it came to pass at the time of the ardour of the flocks, that I lifted up mine eyes, and saw in a dream, and behold, the rams that leaped upon the flocks were ringstraked, speckled, and spotted. Gen. 31:10
And the Angel of God said to me in a dream, Jacob! And I said, Here am I. Gen. 31:11
And he said, Lift up now thine eyes, and see: all the rams that leap upon the flock are ringstraked, speckled, and spotted; for I have seen all that Laban does to thee. Gen. 31:12
I am the *God of Bethel, where thou anointedst the pillar, where thou vowedst a vow to me. Now arise, depart out of this land, and return to the land of thy kindred. Gen. 31:13
For all the wealth that God has taken from our father is ours and our children's; and now whatever God has said to thee do. Gen. 31:16
and carried away all his cattle, and all his property that he had acquired -- the cattle of his possessions that he had acquired in Padan-Aram, to go to Isaac his father, into the land of Canaan. Gen. 31:18
And Laban had gone to shear his sheep. And Rachel stole the teraphim that belonged to her father. Gen. 31:19
And Jacob deceived Laban the Syrian, in that he did not tell him that he fled. Gen. 31:20
And he fled with all that he had; and he rose up and passed over the river, and set his face toward mount Gilead. Gen. 31:21
And it was told Laban on the third day that Jacob had fled. Gen. 31:22
And God came to Laban the Syrian in a dream by night, and said to him, Take care thou speak not to Jacob either good or bad. Gen. 31:24
And Laban came up with Jacob; and Jacob had pitched his tent on the mountain; Laban also with his brethren pitched on mount Gilead. Gen. 31:25
It would be in the power of my hand to do you hurt; but the God of your father spoke to me last night, saying, Take care that thou speak not to Jacob either good or bad. Gen. 31:29
And Laban went into Jacob's tent, and into Leah's tent, and into the two handmaids' tents, and found nothing; and he went out of Leah's tent, and entered into Rachel's tent. Gen. 31:33
Now Rachel had taken the teraphim and put them under the camel's saddle; and she sat upon them. And Laban explored all the tent, but found nothing. Gen. 31:34
And she said to her father, Let it not be an occasion of anger in the eyes of my lord that I cannot rise up before thee, for it is with me after the manner of women. And he searched carefully, but did not find the teraphim. Gen. 31:35
These twenty years have I been with thee: thy ewes and thy she-goats have not cast their young, and the rams of thy flock I have not eaten. Gen. 31:38
What was torn I have not brought to thee; I had to bear the loss of it: of my hand hast thou required it, whether stolen by day or stolen by night. Gen. 31:39
Thus it was with me: in the day the heat consumed me, and the frost by night; and my sleep fled from mine eyes. Gen. 31:40
Had not the God of my father, the God of Abraham, and the fear of Isaac, been with me, it is certain thou wouldest have sent me away now empty. God has looked upon my affliction and the labour of my hands, and has judged last night. Gen. 31:42
And Laban answered and said to Jacob, The daughters are my daughters, and the sons are my sons, and the flock is my flock, and all that thou seest is mine; but as for my daughters, what can I do this day to them, or to their sons whom they have brought forth? Gen. 31:43
And Jacob said to his brethren, Gather stones. And they took stones, and made a heap, and ate there upon the heap. Gen. 31:46
And Laban said, This heap is a witness between me and thee this day. Therefore was the name of it called Galeed, Gen. 31:48
And Laban said to Jacob, Behold this heap, and behold the pillar which I have set up between me and thee: Gen. 31:51
let this heap be witness, and the pillar a witness, that neither I pass this heap to go to thee, nor thou pass this heap and this pillar to come to me, for harm. Gen. 31:52
The God of Abraham, and the God of Nahor, the God of their father, judge between us! And Jacob swore by the fear of his father Isaac. Gen. 31:53
And Jacob offered a sacrifice upon the mountain, and invited his brethren to eat bread: and they ate bread, and lodged on the mountain. Gen. 31:54
And Laban rose early in the morning, and kissed his sons and his daughters, and blessed them; and Laban went and returned to his place. Gen. 31:55
And Jacob went on his way; and the angels of God met him. Gen. 32:1
And when Jacob saw them he said, This is the camp of God. And he called the name of that place Mahanaim. Gen. 32:2
And Jacob sent messengers before his face to Esau his brother, into the land of Seir, the fields of Edom. Gen. 32:3
And the messengers returned to Jacob, saying, We came to thy brother, to Esau; and he also is coming to meet thee, and four hundred men with him. Gen. 32:6
Then Jacob was greatly afraid, and was distressed; and he divided the people that were with him, and the sheep and the cattle and the camels, into two troops. Gen. 32:7
And he said, If Esau come to the one troop and smite it, then the other troop which is left shall escape. Gen. 32:8
-- I am too small for all the loving-kindness and all the faithfulness that thou hast shewn unto thy servant; for with my staff I passed over this Jordan, and now I am become two troops. Gen. 32:10
Deliver me, I pray thee, from the hand of my brother, from the hand of Esau; for I fear him, lest he come and smite me, and the mother with the children. Gen. 32:11
And thou saidst, I will certainly deal well with thee, and make thy seed as the sand of the sea, which cannot be numbered for multitude. Gen. 32:12
And he delivered them into the hand of his servants, every drove by itself; and he said to his servants, Go on before me, and put a space between drove and drove. Gen. 32:16
And he commanded the foremost, saying, When Esau my brother meets thee, and asks thee, saying, Whose art thou, and where goest thou, and whose are these before thee? Gen. 32:17
And so commanded he the second, and the third, and all that followed the droves, saying, According to this word shall ye speak to Esau when ye find him. Gen. 32:19
And, moreover, ye shall say, Behold, thy servant Jacob is behind us. For he said, I will propitiate him with the gift that goes before me, and afterwards I will see his face: perhaps he will accept me. Gen. 32:20
And the gift went over before him; and he himself lodged that night in the camp. Gen. 32:21
And he rose up that night, and took his two wives, and his two maidservants, and his eleven sons, and passed over the ford of the Jabbok; Gen. 32:22
and he took them and led them over the river, and led over what he had. Gen. 32:23
And Jacob remained alone; and a man wrestled with him until the rising of the dawn. Gen. 32:24
And when he saw that he did not prevail against him, he touched the joint of his thigh; and the joint of Jacob's thigh was dislocated as he wrestled with him. Gen. 32:25
And he said, Let me go, for the dawn ariseth. And he said, I will not let thee go except thou bless me. Gen. 32:26
And Jacob called the name of the place Peniel -- For I have seen God face to face, and my life has been preserved. Gen. 32:30
And as he passed over Peniel, the sun rose upon him; and he limped upon his hip. Gen. 32:31
Therefore the children of Israel do not eat of the sinew that is over the joint of the thigh, to this day; because he touched the joint of Jacob's thigh -- the sinew. Gen. 32:32
And Jacob lifted up his eyes and looked, and behold, Esau was coming, and with him four hundred men. And he distributed the children to Leah, and to Rachel, and to the two maidservants: Gen. 33:1
and he put the maidservants and their children foremost, and Leah and her children after, and Rachel and Joseph hindmost. Gen. 33:2
And he passed on before them, and bowed to the earth seven times, until he came near to his brother. Gen. 33:3
And he lifted up his eyes and saw the women and the children, and said, Who are these with thee? And he said, The children that God has graciously given thy servant. Gen. 33:5
And the maidservants drew near, they and their children, and they bowed. Gen. 33:6
And he said, What meanest thou by all the drove which I met? And he said, To find favour in the eyes of my lord. Gen. 33:8
And Jacob said, No, I pray thee; if now I have found favour in thine eyes, then receive my gift from my hand; for therefore have I seen thy face, as though I had seen the face of God, and thou hast received me with pleasure. Gen. 33:10
And he said to him, My lord knows that the children are tender, and the suckling sheep and kine are with me; and if they should overdrive them only one day, all the flock would die. Gen. 33:13
Let my lord, I pray thee, pass on before his servant, and I will drive on at my ease according to the pace of the cattle that is before me, and according to the pace of the children, until I come to my lord, to Seir. Gen. 33:14
And Esau said, Let me now leave with thee some of the people that are with me. And he said, What need? Let me find favour in the eyes of my lord. Gen. 33:15
And Jacob journeyed to Succoth, and built himself a house, and for his cattle he made booths. Therefore the name of the place was called Succoth. Gen. 33:17
And Jacob came safely to the city Shechem, which is in the land of Canaan, when he came from Padan-Aram; and he encamped before the city. Gen. 33:18
And he bought the portion of the field where he had spread his tent, of the hand of the sons of Hamor, Shechem's father, for a hundred kesitahs. Gen. 33:19
And Dinah the daughter of Leah, whom she had borne to Jacob, went out to see the daughters of the land. Gen. 34:1
And when Shechem, the son of Hamor the Hivite, the prince of the country, saw her, he took her, and lay with her, and humbled her. Gen. 34:2
And his soul fastened on Dinah the daughter of Jacob, and he loved the maiden, and spoke consolingly to the maiden. Gen. 34:3
And Jacob heard that he had defiled Dinah his daughter; but his sons were with his cattle in the fields, and Jacob said nothing until they came. Gen. 34:5
And Hamor the father of Shechem came out to Jacob, to speak to him. Gen. 34:6
And the sons of Jacob came from the fields when they heard it; and the men were grieved, and they were very angry, because he had wrought what was disgraceful in Israel, in lying with Jacob's daughter, which thing ought not to be done. Gen. 34:7
And dwell with us, and the land shall be before you: dwell and trade in it, and get yourselves possessions in it. Gen. 34:10
Impose on me very much as dowry and gift, and I will give according as ye shall say to me; but give me the maiden as wife. Gen. 34:12
And the sons of Jacob answered Shechem and Hamor his father deceitfully, and spoke -- because he had defiled Dinah their sister -- Gen. 34:13
And their words were good in the eyes of Hamor and Shechem, Hamor's son. Gen. 34:18
And the youth did not delay to do this, because he had delight in Jacob's daughter. And he was honourable above all in the house of his father. Gen. 34:19
And Hamor and Shechem his son came to the gate of their city, and spoke to the men of their city, saying, Gen. 34:20
These men are peaceable with us; therefore let them dwell in the land, and trade in it. And the land -- behold, it is of wide extent before them. We will take their daughters as wives, and give them our daughters. Gen. 34:21
But only in this will the men consent to us to dwell with us, to be one people -- if every male among us be circumcised, just as they are circumcised. Gen. 34:22
And all that went out at the gate of his city hearkened to Hamor and to Shechem his son; and every male was circumcised -- all that went out at the gate of his city. Gen. 34:24
And it came to pass on the third day, when they were sore, that two of the sons of Jacob, Simeon and Levi, Dinah's brethren, took each his sword, and came upon the city boldly, and slew all the males. Gen. 34:25
And Hamor and Shechem his son they slew with the edge of the sword; and took Dinah out of Shechem's house; and went out. Gen. 34:26
The sons of Jacob came upon the slain, and plundered the city, because they had defiled their sister. Gen. 34:27
Their sheep, and their oxen, and their asses, and what was in the city, and what was in the field they took; Gen. 34:28
and all their goods, and all their little ones, and their wives took they captive, and plundered them, and all that was in the houses. Gen. 34:29
And Jacob said to Simeon and Levi, Ye have troubled me, in that ye make me odious among the inhabitants of the land -- among the Canaanites and the Perizzites; and I am few men in number, and they will gather themselves against me and smite me, and I shall be destroyed, I and my house. Gen. 34:30
And God said to Jacob, Arise, go up to Bethel, and dwell there, and make there an altar unto the *God that appeared unto thee when thou fleddest from the face of Esau thy brother. Gen. 35:1
And Jacob said to his household, and to all that were with him, Put away the strange gods that are among you, and cleanse yourselves, and change your garments; Gen. 35:2
and we will arise, and go up to Bethel; and I will make there an altar to the *God that answered me in the day of my distress, and was with me in the way that I went. Gen. 35:3
And they gave to Jacob all the strange gods that were in their hand, and the rings that were in their ears, and Jacob hid them under the terebinth that is by Shechem. Gen. 35:4
And they journeyed; and the terror of God was upon the cities that were round about them, and they did not pursue after the sons of Jacob. Gen. 35:5
And Jacob came to Luz, which is in the land of Canaan, that is, Bethel, he and all the people that were with him. Gen. 35:6
And he built there an altar, and called the place El-beth-el; because there God had appeared to him when he fled from the face of his brother. Gen. 35:7
And Deborah, Rebecca's nurse, died; and she was buried beneath Bethel, under the oak; and the name of it was called Allon-bachuth. Gen. 35:8
And God said to him, I am the Almighty *God: be fruitful and multiply; a nation and a company of nations shall be of thee; and kings shall come out of thy loins. Gen. 35:11
And the land that I gave Abraham and Isaac, to thee will I give it, and to thy seed after thee will I give the land. Gen. 35:12
And God went up from him in the place where he had talked with him. Gen. 35:13
And Jacob set up a pillar in the place where he had talked with him, a pillar of stone, and poured on it a drink-offering, and poured oil on it. Gen. 35:14
And Jacob called the name of the place where God had talked with him, Beth-el. Gen. 35:15
And it came to pass when it went hard with her in her childbearing, that the midwife said to her, Fear not; for this also is a son for thee. Gen. 35:17
And Rachel died, and was buried on the way to Ephrath, which is Bethlehem. Gen. 35:19
And Jacob erected a pillar upon her grave: that is the pillar of Rachel's grave to this day. Gen. 35:20
And Israel journeyed, and spread his tent on the other side of Migdal-Eder. Gen. 35:21
And it came to pass when Israel dwelt in that land, that Reuben went and lay with Bilhah, his father's concubine; and Israel heard of it. And the sons of Jacob were twelve. Gen. 35:22
The sons of Leah: Reuben -- Jacob's firstborn -- and Simeon, and Levi, and Judah, and Issachar, and Zebulun. Gen. 35:23
The sons of Rachel: Joseph and Benjamin. Gen. 35:24
And the sons of Bilhah, Rachel's maidservant: Dan and Naphtali. Gen. 35:25
And the sons of Zilpah, Leah's maidservant: Gad and Asher. These are the sons of Jacob that were born to him in Padan-Aram. Gen. 35:26
And the days of Isaac were a hundred and eighty years. Gen. 35:28
And these are the generations of Esau, that is Edom. Gen. 36:1
Esau took his wives of the daughters of Canaan: Adah the daughter of Elon the Hittite, and Oholibamah the daughter of Anah, daughter of Zibeon the Hivite, Gen. 36:2
and Basmath Ishmael's daughter, the sister of Nebaioth. Gen. 36:3
And Oholibamah bore Jeush and Jaalam and Korah. These are the sons of Esau that were born to him in the land of Canaan. Gen. 36:5
And Esau took his wives, and his sons, and his daughters, and all the souls of his house, and his cattle, and all his beasts, and all his possessions, that he had acquired in the land of Canaan, and went into a country away from his brother Jacob. Gen. 36:6
For their property was too great for them to dwell together, and the land where they were sojourners could not bear them, because of their cattle. Gen. 36:7
And these are the generations of Esau, the father of Edom, in mount Seir. Gen. 36:9
These are the names of Esau's sons: Eliphaz, the son of Adah the wife of Esau; Reuel, the son of Basmath the wife of Esau. Gen. 36:10
-- And the sons of Eliphaz were Teman, Omar, Zepho, and Gatam, and Kenaz. Gen. 36:11
And Timna was concubine to Eliphaz Esau's son, and she bore Amalek to Eliphaz. These are the sons of Adah Esau's wife. Gen. 36:12
-- And these are the sons of Reuel: Nahath and Zerah, Shammah and Mizzah. These are the sons of Basmath Esau's wife. Gen. 36:13
-- And these are the sons of Oholibamah, the daughter of Anah, daughter of Zibeon, Esau's wife: and she bore to Esau Jeush and Jaalam and Korah. Gen. 36:14
These are the chiefs of the sons of Esau. The sons of Eliphaz, the firstborn of Esau: chief Teman, chief Omar, chief Zepho, chief Kenaz, Gen. 36:15
chief Korah, chief Gatam, chief Amalek. These are the chiefs of Eliphaz in the land of Edom; these are the sons of Adah. Gen. 36:16
And these are the sons of Reuel Esau's son: chief Nahath, chief Zerah, chief Shammah, chief Mizzah: these are the chiefs of Reuel in the land of Edom; these are the sons of Basmath Esau's wife. Gen. 36:17
-- And these are the sons of Oholibamah Esau's wife: chief Jeush, chief Jaalam, chief Korah; these are the chiefs of Oholibamah the daughter of Anah, Esau's wife. Gen. 36:18
These are the sons of Esau, and these their chiefs: he is Edom. Gen. 36:19
These are the sons of Seir the Horite, the inhabitant of the land: Lotan, and Shobal, and Zibeon, and Anah, Gen. 36:20
and Dishon, and Ezer, and Dishan. These are the chiefs of the Horites, the sons of Seir in the land of Edom. Gen. 36:21
-- And the sons of Lotan were Hori and Hemam; and Lotan's sister was Timna. Gen. 36:22
-- And these are the sons of Shobal: Alvan, and Manahath, and Ebal, Shepho and Onam. Gen. 36:23
-- And these are the sons of Zibeon: both Ajah and Anah. This is the Anah that found the warm springs in the wilderness as he fed the asses of Zibeon his father. Gen. 36:24
-- And these are the sons of Anah: Dishon, and Oholibamah the daughter of Anah. Gen. 36:25
-- And these are the sons of Dishon: Hemdan, and Eshban, and Ithran, and Cheran. Gen. 36:26
-- These are the sons of Ezer: Bilhan, and Zaavan, and Akan. Gen. 36:27
-- These are the sons of Dishan: Uz and Aran. Gen. 36:28
These are the chiefs of the Horites: chief Lotan, chief Shobal, chief Zibeon, chief Anah, Gen. 36:29
chief Dishon, chief Ezer, chief Dishan. These are the chiefs of the Horites, according to their chiefs in the land of Seir. Gen. 36:30
And these are the kings that reigned in the land of Edom before there reigned a king over the children of Israel. Gen. 36:31
And Bela the son of Beor reigned in Edom; and the name of his city was Dinhabah. Gen. 36:32
And Bela died; and Jobab the son of Zerah of Bozrah reigned in his stead. Gen. 36:33
And Jobab died; and Husham of the land of the Temanites reigned in his stead. Gen. 36:34
And Husham died; and Hadad the son of Bedad, who smote Midian in the fields of Moab, reigned in his stead. And the name of his city was Avith. Gen. 36:35
And Samlah died; and Saul of Rehoboth on the river reigned in his stead. Gen. 36:37
And Saul died; and Baal-hanan the son of Achbor reigned in his stead. Gen. 36:38
And Baal-hanan the son of Achbor died; and Hadar reigned in his stead; and the name of his city was Pau; and his wife's name was Mehetabel, the daughter of Matred daughter of Mezahab. Gen. 36:39
And these are the names of the chiefs of Esau, according to their families, after their places, with their names: chief Timna, chief Alvah, chief Jetheth, Gen. 36:40
chief Magdiel, chief Iram. These are the chiefs of Edom, according to their dwelling-places in the land of their possession. This is Esau, the father of Edom. Gen. 36:43
And Jacob dwelt in the land where his father sojourned -- in the land of Canaan. Gen. 37:1
These are the generations of Jacob. Joseph, being seventeen years old, fed the flock with his brethren; and he was doing service with the sons of Bilhah, and with the sons of Zilpah, his father's wives. And Joseph brought to his father an evil report of them. Gen. 37:2
And Joseph dreamed a dream, and told it to his brethren, and they hated him yet the more. Gen. 37:5
Behold, we were binding sheaves in the fields, and lo, my sheaf rose up, and remained standing; and behold, your sheaves came round about and bowed down to my sheaf. Gen. 37:7
And his brethren said to him, Wilt thou indeed be a king over us? wilt thou indeed rule over us? And they hated him yet the more for his dreams and for his words. Gen. 37:8
And he dreamed yet another dream, and told it to his brethren, and said, Behold, I have dreamt another dream, and behold, the sun and the moon and eleven stars bowed down to me. Gen. 37:9
And he told it to his father and to his brethren. And his father rebuked him, and said to him, What is this dream which thou hast dreamt? Shall we indeed come, I and thy mother and thy brethren, to bow down ourselves to thee to the earth? Gen. 37:10
And his brethren envied him; but his father kept the saying. Gen. 37:11
And Israel said to Joseph, Do not thy brethren feed the flock at Shechem? Come, that I may send thee to them. And he said to him, Here am I. Gen. 37:13
And he said to him, Go, I pray thee, see after the welfare of thy brethren, and after the welfare of the flock; and bring me word again. And he sent him out of the vale of Hebron; and he came towards Shechem. Gen. 37:14
And a man found him, and behold, he was wandering in the country; and the man asked him, saying, What seekest thou? Gen. 37:15
And the man said, They have removed from this; for I heard them say, Let us go to Dothan. And Joseph went after his brethren, and found them at Dothan. Gen. 37:17
And now come and let us kill him, and cast him into one of the pits, and we will say, An evil beast has devoured him; and we will see what becomes of his dreams. Gen. 37:20
And Reuben said to them, Shed no blood: cast him into this pit which is in the wilderness; but lay no hand upon him -- in order that he might deliver him out of their hand, to bring him to his father again. Gen. 37:22
And it came to pass when Joseph came to his brethren, that they stripped Joseph of his vest, the vest of many colours, which he had on; Gen. 37:23
and they took him and cast him into the pit; now the pit was empty -- there was no water in it. Gen. 37:24
Come and let us sell him to the Ishmaelites; but let not our hand be upon him; for he is our brother, our flesh. And his brethren hearkened to him. Gen. 37:27
And Midianitish men, merchants, passed by; and they drew and lifted up Joseph out of the pit, and sold Joseph to the Ishmaelites for twenty silver-pieces; and they brought Joseph to Egypt. Gen. 37:28
And Reuben returned to the pit, and behold, Joseph was not in the pit; and he rent his garments, Gen. 37:29
and returned to his brethren, and said, The child is not; and I, where shall I go? Gen. 37:30
And they took Joseph's vest, and slaughtered a buck of the goats, and dipped the vest in the blood; Gen. 37:31
and they sent the vest of many colours and had it carried to their father, and said, This have we found: discern now whether it is thy son's vest or not. Gen. 37:32
And the Midianites sold him into Egypt, to Potiphar, a chamberlain of Pharaoh, the captain of the life-guard. Gen. 37:36
And Judah saw there the daughter of a Canaanitish man whose name was Shua; and he took her, and went in to her. Gen. 38:2
And Er, Judah's firstborn, was wicked in the sight of Jehovah, and Jehovah slew him. Gen. 38:7
Then Judah said to Onan, Go in to thy brother's wife, and fulfil to her the brother-in-law's duty, and raise up seed to thy brother. Gen. 38:8
But when Onan knew that the seed should not be his own, it came to pass when he went in to his brother's wife, that he spilled it on the ground, in order to give no seed to his brother. Gen. 38:9
And the thing which he did was evil in the sight of Jehovah, and he slew him also. Gen. 38:10
And as the days were multiplied, Judah's wife, the daughter of Shua, died. And Judah was comforted, and he went up to his sheep-shearers, to Timnah, he and his friend Hirah the Adullamite. Gen. 38:12
And she put the garments of her widowhood off from her, and covered herself with a veil, and wrapped herself, and sat in the entry of Enaim, which is on the way to Timnah; for she saw that Shelah was grown, and she was not given to him as wife. Gen. 38:14
And he turned aside to her by the way, and said, Come, I pray thee, let me go in to thee; for he did not know that she was his daughter-in-law. And she said, What wilt thou give me, that thou mayest come in to me? Gen. 38:16
And he said, I will send thee a kid of the goats from the flock. And she said, Wilt thou give me a pledge, until thou send it? Gen. 38:17
And she arose and went away; and she laid by her veil from her, and put on the garments of her widowhood. Gen. 38:19
And Judah sent the kid of the goats by the hand of his friend the Adullamite, to receive the pledge from the woman's hand; but he found her not. Gen. 38:20
And he asked the men of her place, saying, Where is the prostitute that was at Enaim, by the way-side? And they said, There was no prostitute here. Gen. 38:21
And he returned to Judah, and said, I have not found her; and also the men of the place said, No prostitute has been here. Gen. 38:22
When she was brought forth, she sent to her father-in-law, saying, By the man to whom these belong am I with child; and she said, Acknowledge, I pray thee, whose are this signet, and this lace, and this staff. Gen. 38:25
And it came to pass at the time of her delivery, that behold, twins were in her womb. Gen. 38:27
And it came to pass when she brought forth, that one stretched out his hand, and the midwife took it and bound round his hand a scarlet thread, saying, This came out first. Gen. 38:28
And it came to pass as he drew back his hand, that behold, his brother came out; and she said, How hast thou broken forth! on thee be the breach! And they called his name Pherez. Gen. 38:29
And afterwards came out his brother, round whose hand was the scarlet thread; and they called his name Zerah. Gen. 38:30
And Joseph was brought down to Egypt; and Potiphar, a chamberlain of Pharaoh, the captain of the life-guard, an Egyptian, bought him of the hand of the Ishmaelites who had brought him down thither. Gen. 39:1
And Jehovah was with Joseph, and he was a prosperous man; and he was in the house of his master the Egyptian. Gen. 39:2
And it came to pass from the time he had set him over his house and all that he had, that Jehovah blessed the Egyptian's house for Joseph's sake; and the blessing of Jehovah was on all that he had in the house and in the field. Gen. 39:5
And he left all that he had in Joseph's hand, and took cognizance of nothing with him, save the bread that he ate. And Joseph was of a beautiful form and of a beautiful countenance. Gen. 39:6
But he refused, and said to his master's wife, Behold, my master takes cognizance of nothing with me: what is in the house, and all that he has, he has given into my hand. Gen. 39:8
that on a certain day he went into the house to do his business, and there was none of the men of the house there in the house. Gen. 39:11
that she called to the men of her house, and spoke to them, saying, See, he has brought in a Hebrew man to us, to mock us: he came in to me, to lie with me; and I cried with a loud voice; Gen. 39:14
And she spoke to him according to these words, saying, The Hebrew bondman that thou hast brought to us came in to me to mock me; Gen. 39:17
And it came to pass when his lord heard the words of his wife which she spoke to him, saying, After this manner did thy bondman to me, that his wrath was kindled. Gen. 39:19
And Joseph's lord took him and put him into the tower-house, the place where the king's prisoners were confined; and he was there in the tower-house. Gen. 39:20
And Jehovah was with Joseph, and extended mercy to him, and gave him favour in the eyes of the chief of the tower-house. Gen. 39:21
And the chief of the tower-house committed to Joseph's hand all the prisoners that were in the tower-house; and whatever they had to do there he did. Gen. 39:22
The chief of the tower-house looked not to anything under his hand, because Jehovah was with him; and what he did, Jehovah made it prosper. Gen. 39:23
And it came to pass after these things, that the cup-bearer of the king of Egypt and the baker offended their lord the king of Egypt. Gen. 40:1
And Pharaoh was wroth with his two chamberlains -- with the chief of the cup-bearers and with the chief of the bakers; Gen. 40:2
and he put them in custody into the house of the captain of the life-guard, into the tower-house, into the place where Joseph was imprisoned. Gen. 40:3
And the captain of the life-guard appointed Joseph to them, that he should attend on them. And they were several days in custody. Gen. 40:4
And they dreamed a dream, both of them in one night, each his dream, each according to the interpretation of his dream, the cup-bearer and the baker of the king of Egypt, who were imprisoned in the tower-house. Gen. 40:5
And Joseph came in to them in the morning, and looked on them, and behold, they were sad. Gen. 40:6
Then the chief of the cup-bearers told his dream to Joseph, and said to him, In my dream, behold, a vine was before me; Gen. 40:9
and in the vine were three branches; and it was as though it budded: its blossoms shot forth, its clusters ripened into grapes. Gen. 40:10
And Pharaoh's cup was in my hand; and I took the grapes, and pressed them into Pharaoh's cup, and gave the cup into Pharaoh's hand. Gen. 40:11
And Joseph said to him, This is the interpretation of it: the three branches are three days. Gen. 40:12
In yet three days will Pharaoh lift up thy head and restore thee to thy place, and thou shalt deliver Pharaoh's cup into his hand, after the former manner when thou wast his cup-bearer. Gen. 40:13
for indeed I was stolen out of the land of the Hebrews, and here also have I done nothing that they should put me into the dungeon. Gen. 40:15
And when the chief of the bakers saw that the interpretation was good, he said to Joseph, I also was in my dream, and behold, three baskets of white bread were on my head. Gen. 40:16
And in the uppermost basket there were all manner of victuals for Pharaoh that the baker makes, and the birds ate them out of the basket upon my head. Gen. 40:17
And Joseph answered and said, This is the interpretation of it: the three baskets are three days. Gen. 40:18
In yet three days will Pharaoh lift up thy head from off thee, and hang thee on a tree; and the birds will eat thy flesh from off thee. Gen. 40:19
And it came to pass the third day -- Pharaoh's birthday -- that he made a feast to all his bondmen. And he lifted up the head of the chief of the cup-bearers, and the head of the chief of the bakers among his bondmen. Gen. 40:20
And he restored the chief of the cup-bearers to his office of cup-bearer again; and he gave the cup into Pharaoh's hand. Gen. 40:21
And he hanged the chief of the bakers, as Joseph had interpreted to them. Gen. 40:22
But the chief of the cup-bearers did not remember Joseph, and forgot him. Gen. 40:23
And it came to pass at the end of two full years, that Pharaoh dreamed, and behold, he stood by the river. Gen. 41:1
And behold, there came up out of the river seven kine, fine-looking and fat-fleshed, and they fed in the reed-grass. Gen. 41:2
And behold, seven other kine came up after them out of the river, bad-looking and lean-fleshed, and stood by the kine on the bank of the river. Gen. 41:3
And the kine that were bad-looking and lean-fleshed ate up the seven kine that were fine-looking and fat. And Pharaoh awoke. Gen. 41:4
And he slept and dreamed the second time; and behold, seven ears of corn grew up on one stalk, fat and good. Gen. 41:5
And behold, seven ears, thin and parched with the east wind, sprung up after them. Gen. 41:6
And the thin ears devoured the seven fat and full ears. And Pharaoh awoke; and behold, it was a dream. Gen. 41:7
And it came to pass in the morning, that his spirit was troubled; and he sent and called for all the scribes of Egypt, and all the sages who were therein, and Pharaoh told them his dream; but there was none to interpret them to Pharaoh. Gen. 41:8
Then spoke the chief of the cup-bearers to Pharaoh, saying, I remember mine offences this day. Gen. 41:9
Pharaoh was wroth with his bondmen, and put me in custody into the captain of the life-guard's house, me and the chief of the bakers. Gen. 41:10
And we dreamed a dream in one night, I and he; we dreamed each according to the interpretation of his dream. Gen. 41:11
And there was there with us a Hebrew youth, a bondman of the captain of the life-guard, to whom we told them, and he interpreted to us our dreams; to each he interpreted according to his dream. Gen. 41:12
Then Pharaoh sent and called Joseph; and they brought him hastily out of the dungeon. And he shaved himself, and changed his clothes, and came in to Pharaoh. Gen. 41:14
And Pharaoh said to Joseph, In my dream, behold, I stood on the bank of the river. Gen. 41:17
And behold, there came up out of the river seven kine, fat-fleshed and of fine form, and they fed in the reed-grass. Gen. 41:18
And behold, seven other kine came up after them, poor, and very ill-formed, and lean-fleshed -- such as I never saw in all the land of Egypt for badness. Gen. 41:19
And the lean and bad kine ate up the seven first fat kine; Gen. 41:20
and they came into their belly, and it could not be known that they had come into their belly; and their look was bad, as at the beginning. And I awoke. Gen. 41:21
And behold, seven ears, withered, thin, parched with the east wind, sprung up after them; Gen. 41:23
and the thin ears devoured the seven good ears. And I told it to the scribes; but there was none to make it known to me. Gen. 41:24
And Joseph said to Pharaoh, The dream of Pharaoh is one. What God will do he has made known to Pharaoh. Gen. 41:25
The seven fine kine are seven years; and the seven good ears are seven years: the dream is one. Gen. 41:26
And the seven lean and bad kine that came up after them are seven years; and the seven empty ears, parched with the east wind, will be seven years of famine. Gen. 41:27
This is the word which I have spoken to Pharaoh: what God is about to do he has let Pharaoh see. Gen. 41:28
Behold, there come seven years of great plenty throughout the land of Egypt. Gen. 41:29
And there will arise after them seven years of famine; and all the plenty will be forgotten in the land of Egypt, and the famine will waste away the land. Gen. 41:30
And the plenty will not be known afterwards in the land by reason of that famine; for it will be very grievous. Gen. 41:31
And as regards the double repetition of the dream to Pharaoh, it is that the thing is established by God, and God will hasten to do it. Gen. 41:32
And now let Pharaoh look himself out a man discreet and wise, and set him over the land of Egypt. Gen. 41:33
Let Pharaoh do this: let him appoint overseers over the land, and take the fifth part of the land of Egypt during the seven years of plenty, Gen. 41:34
and let them gather all the food of these coming good years, and lay up corn under the hand of Pharaoh, for food in the cities, and keep it. Gen. 41:35
And let the food be as store for the land for the seven years of famine, which will be in the land of Egypt, that the land perish not through the famine. Gen. 41:36
And the word was good in the eyes of Pharaoh, and in the eyes of all his bondmen. Gen. 41:37
And Pharaoh said to his bondmen, Shall we find one as this, a man in whom the Spirit of God is? Gen. 41:38
Thou shalt be over my house, and according to thy commandment shall all my people regulate themselves; only concerning the throne will I be greater than thou. Gen. 41:40
And Pharaoh said to Joseph, See, I have set thee over all the land of Egypt. Gen. 41:41
And he caused him to ride in the second chariot that he had; and they cried before him, Bow the knee! and he set him over all the land of Egypt. Gen. 41:43
And Pharaoh said to Joseph, I am Pharaoh; and without thee shall no man lift up his hand or his foot in all the land of Egypt. Gen. 41:44
And Pharaoh called Joseph's name Zaphnath-paaneah, and gave him as wife Asnath the daughter of Potipherah the priest in On. And Joseph went out over the land of Egypt. Gen. 41:45
And Joseph was thirty years old when he stood before Pharaoh king of Egypt. And Joseph went out from Pharaoh, and passed through the whole land of Egypt. Gen. 41:46
And in the seven years of plenty the land brought forth by handfuls. Gen. 41:47
And he gathered up all the food of the seven years that was in the land of Egypt, and put the food in the cities; the food of the fields of the city, which were round about it, he laid up in it. Gen. 41:48
And Joseph laid up corn as sand of the sea exceeding much, until they left off numbering; for it was without number. Gen. 41:49
And to Joseph were born two sons before the year of famine came, whom Asnath the daughter of Potipherah the priest in On bore to him. Gen. 41:50
And Joseph called the name of the firstborn Manasseh -- For God has made me forget all my toil, and all my father's house. Gen. 41:51
And the name of the second he called Ephraim -- For God has caused me to be fruitful in the land of my affliction. Gen. 41:52
And the seven years of plenty that were in the land of Egypt were ended; Gen. 41:53
and the seven years of the dearth began to come, according as Joseph had said. And there was dearth in all lands; but in all the land of Egypt there was bread. Gen. 41:54
And all the land of Egypt suffered from the dearth. And the people cried to Pharaoh for bread; and Pharaoh said to all the Egyptians, Go to Joseph: what he says to you, that do. Gen. 41:55
And the famine was on all the earth. And Joseph opened every place in which there was provision, and sold grain to the Egyptians; and the famine was grievous in the land of Egypt. Gen. 41:56
And all countries came into Egypt to Joseph, to buy grain, because the famine was grievous on the whole earth. Gen. 41:57
So the sons of Israel came to buy grain among those that came; for the famine was in the land of Canaan. Gen. 42:5
And Joseph, he was the governor over the land -- he it was that sold the corn to all the people of the land. And Joseph's brethren came and bowed down to him, the face to the earth. Gen. 42:6
And Joseph saw his brethren, and knew them; but he made himself strange to them, and spoke roughly to them, and said to them, Whence come ye? And they said, From the land of Canaan, to buy food. Gen. 42:7
And Joseph remembered the dreams that he had dreamt of them; and he said to them, Ye are spies: to see the exposed places of the land ye are come. Gen. 42:9
And he said to them, No; but to see the exposed places of the land are ye come. Gen. 42:12
And they said, Thy servants were twelve brethren, sons of one man, in the land of Canaan; and behold, the youngest is this day with our father, and one is not. Gen. 42:13
By this ye shall be put to the proof: as Pharaoh lives, ye shall not go forth hence, unless your youngest brother come hither! Gen. 42:15
Send one of you, that he may fetch your brother, but ye shall be imprisoned, and your words shall be put to the proof, whether the truth is in you; and if not, as Pharaoh lives, ye are spies. Gen. 42:16
And Joseph said to them the third day, This do, that ye may live: I fear God. Gen. 42:18
If ye are honest, let one of your brethren remain bound in the house of your prison, but go ye, carry grain for the hunger of your households; Gen. 42:19
And Reuben answered them, saying, Did I not speak to you, saying, Do not sin against the lad? But ye did not hearken; and now behold, his blood also is required. Gen. 42:22
And they did not know that Joseph understood, for the interpreter was between them. Gen. 42:23
And Joseph gave orders to fill their vessels with corn, and to restore every man's money into his sack, and to give them provision for the way. And thus did they to them. Gen. 42:25
And one of them opened his sack to give his ass food in the inn, and saw his money, and behold, it was in the mouth of his sack. Gen. 42:27
And they came into the land of Canaan, to Jacob their father, and told him all that had befallen them, saying, Gen. 42:29
The man, the lord of the land, spoke roughly to us, and treated us as spies of the land. Gen. 42:30
we are twelve brethren, sons of our father; one is not, and the youngest is this day with our father in the land of Canaan. Gen. 42:32
And the man, the lord of the land, said to us, Hereby shall I know that ye are honest: leave one of your brethren with me, and take for the hunger of your households, and go, Gen. 42:33
and bring your youngest brother to me, and I shall know that ye are not spies, but are honest. Your brother will I give up to you; and ye may trade in the land. Gen. 42:34
But he said, My son shall not go down with you, for his brother is dead, and he alone is left; and if mischief should befall him by the way in which ye go, then would ye bring down my grey hairs with sorrow to Sheol. Gen. 42:38
And the famine was grievous in the land. Gen. 43:1
And it came to pass, when they had finished eating the grain which they had brought from Egypt, that their father said to them, Go again, buy us a little food. Gen. 43:2
And Judah spoke to him, saying, The man did positively testify to us, saying, Ye shall not see my face, unless your brother be with you. Gen. 43:3
but if thou do not send him, we will not go down, for the man said to us, Ye shall not see my face, unless your brother be with you. Gen. 43:5
And Israel said, Why did ye deal so ill with me as to tell the man whether ye had yet a brother? Gen. 43:6
And they said, The man asked very closely after us, and after our kindred, saying, Is your father yet alive? have ye a brother? And we told him according to the tenor of these words. Could we at all know that he would say, Bring your brother down? Gen. 43:7
And Judah said to Israel his father, Send the lad with me, and we will arise and go, that we may live, and not die, both we and thou and our little ones. Gen. 43:8
And their father Israel said to them, If it is then so, do this: take of the best fruits in the land in your vessels, and carry down the man a gift: a little balsam and a little honey, tragacanth and ladanum, pistacia-nuts and almonds. Gen. 43:11
And take other money in your hand, and the money that was returned to you in the mouth of your sacks, carry back in your hand: perhaps it is an oversight. Gen. 43:12
And take your brother, and arise, go again to the man. Gen. 43:13
And the Almighty *God give you mercy before the man, that he may send away your other brother and Benjamin! And I, if I be bereaved of children, am bereaved. Gen. 43:14
And the men took that gift, and took double money in their hand, and Benjamin, and rose up, and went down to Egypt, and came before Joseph. Gen. 43:15
And Joseph saw Benjamin with them, and said to the man who was over his house, Bring the men into the house, and slaughter cattle, and make ready; for the men shall eat with me at noon. Gen. 43:16
And the man did as Joseph had said; and the man brought the men into Joseph's house. Gen. 43:17
And the men were afraid because they were brought into Joseph's house, and said, Because of the money that was returned to us in our sacks at the beginning are we brought in, that he may turn against us, and fall upon us and take us for bondmen, and our asses. Gen. 43:18
And they came up to the man that was over Joseph's house, and they spoke to him at the door of the house, Gen. 43:19
and said, Ah! my lord, we came indeed down at the first to buy food. Gen. 43:20
And it came to pass when we came to the inn, that we opened our sacks, and behold, every man's money was in the mouth of his sack, our money according to its weight; and we have brought it again in our hand. Gen. 43:21
And he said, Peace be to you, fear not: your God, and the God of your father, has given you treasure in your sacks; your money came to me. And he brought Simeon out to them. Gen. 43:23
And the man brought the men into Joseph's house, and gave water, and they washed their feet; and he gave their asses food. Gen. 43:24
And they made ready the gift for Joseph's coming at noon; for they had heard that they should eat bread there. Gen. 43:25
When Joseph came home, they brought him the gift that was in their hand, into the house, and bowed themselves to him to the earth. Gen. 43:26
And he asked them of their welfare, and said, Is your father well -- the old man of whom ye spoke? Is he yet alive? Gen. 43:27
And Joseph made haste, for his bowels burned for his brother; and he sought a place to weep, and he went into the chamber, and wept there. Gen. 43:30
And they set on for him by himself, and for them by themselves, and for the Egyptians who ate with him by themselves; because the Egyptians might not eat bread with the Hebrews, for that is an abomination unto the Egyptians. Gen. 43:32
And they sat before him, the firstborn according to his birthright, and the youngest according to his youth; and the men marvelled one at another. Gen. 43:33
And he had portions carried to them from before him. And Benjamin's portion was five times greater than the portions of them all. And they drank, and made merry with him. Gen. 43:34
And he commanded him who was over his house, saying, Fill the men's sacks with food, as much as they can carry; and put every man's money in the mouth of his sack. Gen. 44:1
And put my cup, the silver cup, in the mouth of the sack of the youngest, and his grain-money. And he did according to the word of Joseph which he had spoken. Gen. 44:2
In the morning, when it was light, the men were sent away, they and their asses. Gen. 44:3
They were gone out of the city, and not yet far off, when Joseph said to him who was over his house, Up! follow after the men; and when thou overtakest them, thou shalt say to them, Why have ye rewarded evil for good? Gen. 44:4
Behold, the money that we found in our sacks' mouths we have brought again to thee from the land of Canaan; and how should we steal out of thy lord's house silver or gold? Gen. 44:8
And they hasted and laid down every man his sack on the ground, and opened every man his sack. Gen. 44:11
And he searched carefully: he began at the eldest, and ended at the youngest; and the cup was found in Benjamin's sack. Gen. 44:12
Then they rent their clothes, and loaded every man his ass, and they returned to the city. Gen. 44:13
And Judah and his brethren came to Joseph's house; and he was still there; and they fell down before him to the ground. Gen. 44:14
And Judah said, What shall we say to my lord? what shall we speak, and how justify ourselves? God has found out the iniquity of thy servants; behold, we are my lord's bondmen, both we, and he in whose hand the cup has been found. Gen. 44:16
And he said, Far be it from me to do so! The man in whose hand the cup has been found, he shall be my bondman; but as for you, go up in peace to your father. Gen. 44:17
And we said to my lord, The youth cannot leave his father: if he should leave his father, his father would die. Gen. 44:22
And it came to pass when we came up to thy servant my father, we told him the words of my lord. Gen. 44:24
But we said, We cannot go down: if our youngest brother be with us, then will we go down; for we cannot see the man's face unless our youngest brother is with us. Gen. 44:26
and the one went out from me, and I said, He must certainly have been torn in pieces; and I have not seen him again hitherto. Gen. 44:28
And now, when I come to thy servant my father, and the lad is not with us, -- seeing that his life is bound up with his life, Gen. 44:30
it will come to pass when he sees that the lad is not there, that he will die; and thy servants will bring down the grey hairs of thy servant our father with sorrow to Sheol. Gen. 44:31
For thy servant became surety for the lad to my father, saying, If I bring him not to thee, then I shall be guilty toward my father all my days. Gen. 44:32
And now, let thy servant stay, I pray thee, instead of the lad a bondman to my lord, and let the lad go up with his brethren; Gen. 44:33
for how should I go up to my father if the lad were not with me? -- lest I see the evil that would come on my father. Gen. 44:34
And he raised his voice in weeping; and the Egyptians heard, and the house of Pharaoh heard. Gen. 45:2
For the famine has been these two years in the land; and yet there are five years in which there will be neither ploughing nor harvest. Gen. 45:6
So God sent me before you to preserve you a remnant in the earth, and to save you alive by a great deliverance. Gen. 45:7
And now it was not you that sent me here, but God; and he has made me a father to Pharaoh, and lord of all his house, and governor over all the land of Egypt. Gen. 45:8
And thou shalt dwell in the land of Goshen, and thou shalt be near to me, thou, and thy sons, and thy sons' sons, and thy sheep, and thy cattle, and all that thou hast. Gen. 45:10
And behold, your eyes see, and the eyes of my brother Benjamin, that it is my mouth which speaks to you. Gen. 45:12
And the report was heard in Pharaoh's house, saying, Joseph's brethren are come. And it was good in the eyes of Pharaoh, and in the eyes of his bondmen. Gen. 45:16
And Pharaoh said to Joseph, Say to thy brethren, Do this: load your beasts and depart, go into the land of Canaan, Gen. 45:17
and take your father and your households, and come to me; and I will give you the good of the land of Egypt, and ye shall eat the fat of the land. Gen. 45:18
And thou art commanded -- this do: take waggons out of the land of Egypt for your little ones and for your wives, and take up your father, and come. Gen. 45:19
And let not your eye regret your stuff; for the good of all the land of Egypt shall be yours. Gen. 45:20
And the sons of Israel did so; and Joseph gave them waggons, according to the commandment of Pharaoh, and gave them provision for the way. Gen. 45:21
And to his father he sent this: ten asses laden with the good things of Egypt, and ten she-asses laden with corn and bread, and food for his father by the way. Gen. 45:23
And he sent his brethren away, and they departed. And he said to them, Do not quarrel on the way. Gen. 45:24
And they went up out of Egypt, and came into the land of Canaan to Jacob their father. Gen. 45:25
And they told him, saying, Joseph is still alive, and he is governor over all the land of Egypt. And his heart fainted, for he did not believe them. Gen. 45:26
And they spoke to him all the words of Joseph, which he had spoken to them. And he saw the waggons that Joseph had sent to carry him. And the spirit of Jacob their father revived. Gen. 45:27
And Israel took his journey with all that he had, and came to Beer-sheba; and he offered sacrifices to the God of his father Isaac. Gen. 46:1
And God spoke to Israel in the visions of the night and said, Jacob, Jacob! And he said, Here am I. Gen. 46:2
And he said, I am *God, the God of thy father: fear not to go down to Egypt; for I will there make of thee a great nation. Gen. 46:3
And Jacob rose up from Beer-sheba; and the sons of Israel carried Jacob their father, and their little ones, and their wives, on the waggons that Pharaoh had sent to carry him. Gen. 46:5
And they took their cattle, and their goods which they had acquired in the land of Canaan, and came to Egypt, Jacob and all his seed with him; Gen. 46:6
And these are the names of the sons of Israel who came into Egypt: Jacob and his sons. Jacob's firstborn, Reuben. Gen. 46:8
And the sons of Reuben: Enoch, and Phallu, and Hezron, and Carmi. Gen. 46:9
-- And the sons of Simeon: Jemuel, and Jamin, and Ohad, and Jachin, and Zohar, and Saul the son of a Canaanitish woman. Gen. 46:10
-- And the sons of Levi: Gershon, Kohath, and Merari. Gen. 46:11
-- And the sons of Judah: Er, and Onan, and Shelah, and Pherez, and Zerah; but Er and Onan died in the land of Canaan. And the sons of Pherez were Hezron and Hamul. Gen. 46:12
-- And the sons of Issachar: Tola, and Puah, and Job, and Shimron. Gen. 46:13
-- And the sons of Zebulun: Sered, and Elon, and Jahleel. Gen. 46:14
-- These are the sons of Leah, whom she bore to Jacob in Padan-Aram; and his daughter, Dinah. All the souls of his sons and his daughters were thirty-three. Gen. 46:15
And the sons of Gad: Ziphion and Haggi, Shuni and Ezbon, Eri, and Arodi, and Areli. Gen. 46:16
-- And the sons of Asher: Jimnah, and Jishvah, and Jishvi, and Beriah; and Serah their sister; and the sons of Beriah: Heber and Malchiel. Gen. 46:17
-- These are the sons of Zilpah, whom Laban gave to Leah his daughter; and she bore these to Jacob: sixteen souls. Gen. 46:18
The sons of Rachel Jacob's wife: Joseph and Benjamin. Gen. 46:19
And to Joseph in the land of Egypt were born Manasseh and Ephraim, whom Asnath bore to him, the daughter of Potipherah the priest in On. Gen. 46:20
-- And the sons of Benjamin: Belah, and Becher, and Ashbel, Gera and Naaman, Ehi and Rosh, Muppim, and Huppim, and Ard. Gen. 46:21
-- These are the sons of Rachel who were born to Jacob: all the souls were fourteen. Gen. 46:22
And the sons of Dan: Hushim. Gen. 46:23
-- And the sons of Naphtali: Jahzeel, and Guni, and Jezer, and Shillem. Gen. 46:24
-- These are the sons of Bilhah, whom Laban gave to Rachel his daughter; and she bore these to Jacob: all the souls were seven. Gen. 46:25
All the souls that came with Jacob to Egypt, that had come out of his loins, besides Jacob's sons' wives: all the souls were sixty-six. Gen. 46:26
And the sons of Joseph who were born to him in Egypt, were two souls. All the souls of the house of Jacob that came to Egypt were seventy. Gen. 46:27
And he sent Judah before him to Joseph, to give notice before he came to Goshen. And they came into the land of Goshen. Gen. 46:28
And Joseph said to his brethren and to his father's house, I will go up, and tell Pharaoh, and say to him, My brethren and my father's house, who were in the land of Canaan, are come to me; Gen. 46:31
and the men are shepherds, for they have been occupied with cattle; and they have brought their sheep, and their cattle, and all that they have. Gen. 46:32
then ye shall say, Thy servants are men that have been occupied with cattle from our youth even until now, both we and our fathers; in order that ye may dwell in the land of Goshen; for every shepherd is an abomination to the Egyptians. Gen. 46:34
And Joseph came and told Pharaoh and said, My father and my brethren, and their sheep and their cattle, and all that they have, are come out of the land of Canaan; and behold, they are in the land of Goshen. Gen. 47:1
And he took from the whole number of his brethren, five men, and set them before Pharaoh. Gen. 47:2
And they said to Pharaoh, To sojourn in the land are we come; for there is no pasture for the sheep that thy servants have, for the famine is grievous in the land of Canaan; and now, we pray thee, let thy servants dwell in the land of Goshen. Gen. 47:4
The land of Egypt is before thee; in the best of the land settle thy father and thy brethren: let them dwell in the land of Goshen. And if thou knowest men of activity among them, then set them as overseers of cattle over what I have. Gen. 47:6
And Pharaoh said to Jacob, How many are the days of the years of thy life? Gen. 47:8
And Jacob said to Pharaoh, The days of the years of my sojourning are a hundred and thirty years. Few and evil have been the days of the years of my life, and they do not attain to the days of the years of the life of my fathers, in the days of their sojourning. Gen. 47:9
And Joseph settled his father and his brethren, and gave them a possession in the land of Egypt, in the best of the land, in the land of Rameses, as Pharaoh had commanded. Gen. 47:11
And Joseph maintained his father, and his brethren, and all his father's household, with bread, according to the number of the little ones. Gen. 47:12
And there was no bread in all the land; for the famine was very grievous; and the land of Egypt and the land of Canaan were exhausted through the famine. Gen. 47:13
And Joseph gathered up all the money that was found in the land of Egypt, and in the land of Canaan, for the grain which they bought; and Joseph brought the money into Pharaoh's house. Gen. 47:14
And when money came to an end in the land of Egypt and in the land of Canaan, all the Egyptians came to Joseph, saying, Give us bread! for why should we die before thee? for our money is all gone. Gen. 47:15
And that year ended; and they came to him the second year, and said to him, We will not hide it from my lord that since our money is come to an end, and the herds of cattle are in the possession of my lord, nothing is left before my lord but our bodies and our land. Gen. 47:18
Why should we die before thine eyes, both we and our land? Buy us and our land for bread, and we and our land will be bondmen to Pharaoh; and give seed, that we may live, and not die, and that the land be not desolate. Gen. 47:19
And Joseph bought all the soil of Egypt for Pharaoh; for the Egyptians sold every man his field, because the famine prevailed over them; and the land became Pharaoh's. Gen. 47:20
And as for the people, he removed them into the cities, from one end of the borders of Egypt even to the other end of it. Gen. 47:21
Only the land of the priests he did not buy; for the priests had an assigned portion from Pharaoh, and ate their assigned portion which Pharaoh had given them; so they did not sell their land. Gen. 47:22
And Joseph said to the people, Behold, I have bought you this day and your land for Pharaoh: lo, here is seed for you, and sow the land. Gen. 47:23
And it shall come to pass in the increase that ye shall give the fifth to Pharaoh, and the four parts shall be your own, for seed of the field, and for your food, and for them of your households, and for food for your little ones. Gen. 47:24
And they said, Thou hast saved us alive. Let us find favour in the eyes of my lord, and we will be Pharaoh's bondmen. Gen. 47:25
And Joseph made it a law over the land of Egypt to this day, that the fifth should be for Pharaoh, except the land of the priests: theirs alone did not become Pharaoh's. Gen. 47:26
And Israel dwelt in the land of Egypt, in the land of Goshen; and they had possessions in it, and were fruitful and multiplied exceedingly. Gen. 47:27
And Jacob lived in the land of Egypt seventeen years; and the days of Jacob, the years of his life, were a hundred and forty-seven years. Gen. 47:28
And the days of Israel approached that he should die. And he called his son Joseph, and said to him, If now I have found favour in thine eyes, put, I pray thee, thy hand under my thigh, and deal kindly and truly with me: bury me not, I pray thee, in Egypt; Gen. 47:29
And he said, Swear to me; and he swore to him. And Israel worshipped on the bed's head. Gen. 47:31
And one told Jacob and said, Behold, thy son Joseph is coming to thee. And Israel strengthened himself, and sat upon the bed. Gen. 48:2
And Jacob said to Joseph, The Almighty *God appeared to me at Luz in the land of Canaan, and blessed me, Gen. 48:3
And now thy two sons, who were born to thee in the land of Egypt before I came to thee into Egypt, shall be mine: Ephraim and Manasseh shall be mine, as Reuben and Simeon. Gen. 48:5
And thy family which thou hast begotten after them shall be thine: they shall be called after the name of their brethren in their inheritance. Gen. 48:6
And as for me, when I came from Padan, Rachel died by me in the land of Canaan on the way, when there was yet a certain distance to come to Ephrath; and I buried her there on the way to Ephrath, that is, Bethlehem. Gen. 48:7
But the eyes of Israel were heavy from age: he could not see. And he brought them nearer to him; and he kissed them, and embraced them. Gen. 48:10
And Joseph brought them out from his knees, and bowed down with his face to the earth. Gen. 48:12
But Israel stretched out his right hand, and laid it on Ephraim's head -- now he was the younger -- and his left hand on Manasseh's head; guiding his hands intelligently, for Manasseh was the firstborn. Gen. 48:14
And he blessed Joseph, and said, The God before whom my fathers Abraham and Isaac walked, the God that shepherded me all my life long to this day, Gen. 48:15
the Angel that redeemed me from all evil, bless the lads; and let my name be named upon them, and the name of my fathers Abraham and Isaac; and let them grow into a multitude in the midst of the land! Gen. 48:16
When Joseph saw that his father laid his right hand on the head of Ephraim, it was evil in his eyes; and he took hold of his father's hand to remove it from Ephraim's head to Manasseh's head. Gen. 48:17
And Joseph said to his father, Not so, my father, for this is the firstborn: put thy right hand on his head. Gen. 48:18
But his father refused and said, I know, my son, I know: he also will become a people, and he also will be great; but truly his younger brother will be greater than he; and his seed will become the fulness of nations. Gen. 48:19
And Israel said to Joseph, Behold, I die; and God will be with you, and bring you again to the land of your fathers. Gen. 48:21
And *I* have given to thee one tract of land above thy brethren, which I took out of the hand of the Amorite with my sword and with my bow. Gen. 48:22
And Jacob called his sons, and said, Gather yourselves together, and I will tell you what will befall you at the end of days. Gen. 49:1
Reuben, thou art my firstborn, My might, and the firstfruits of my vigour: Excellency of dignity, and excellency of strength. Gen. 49:3
Impetuous as the waters, thou shalt have no pre-eminence; Because thou wentest up to thy father's couch: Then defiledst thou it: he went up to my bed. Gen. 49:4
Judah -- as to thee, thy brethren will praise thee; Thy hand will be upon the neck of thine enemies; Thy father's children will bow down to thee. Gen. 49:8
Judah is a young lion; From the prey, my son, thou art gone up. He stoopeth, he layeth himself down as a lion, And as a lioness: who will rouse him up? Gen. 49:9
The scepter will not depart from Judah, Nor the lawgiver from between his feet, Until Shiloh come, And to him will be the obedience of peoples. Gen. 49:10
He bindeth his foal to the vine, And his ass's colt to the choice vine; He washeth his dress in wine, And his garment in the blood of grapes. Gen. 49:11
The eyes are red with wine, And the teeth are white with milk. Gen. 49:12
Zebulun will dwell at the shore of the seas; Yea, he will be at the shore of the ships, And his side toucheth upon Sidon. Gen. 49:13
And he saw the rest that it was good, And the land that it was pleasant; And he bowed his shoulder to bear, And was a tributary servant. Gen. 49:15
Dan will judge his people, As another of the tribes of Israel. Gen. 49:16
Dan will be a serpent on the way, A horned snake on the path, Which biteth the horse's heels, So that the rider falleth backwards. Gen. 49:17
Gad -- troops will rush upon him; But he will rush upon the heel. Gen. 49:19
Joseph is a fruitful bough; A fruitful bough by a well; His branches shoot over the wall. Gen. 49:22
The archers have provoked him, And shot at, and hated him; Gen. 49:23
But his bow abideth firm, And the arms of his hands are supple By the hands of the Mighty One of Jacob. From thence is the shepherd, the stone of Israel: Gen. 49:24
From the *God of thy father, and he will help thee; And from the Almighty, and he will bless thee -- With blessings of heaven from above, With blessings of the deep that lieth under, With blessings of the breast and of the womb. Gen. 49:25
The blessings of thy father surpass the blessings of my ancestors, Unto the bounds of the everlasting hills: They shall be on the head of Joseph, And on the crown of the head of him that was separated from his brethren. Gen. 49:26
Benjamin -- as a wolf will he tear to pieces; In the morning he will devour the prey, And in the evening he will divide the booty. Gen. 49:27
All these are the twelve tribes of Israel, and this is what their father spoke to them; and he blessed them: every one according to his blessing he blessed them. Gen. 49:28
And he charged them, and said to them, I am gathered to my people: bury me with my fathers in the cave that is in the field of Ephron the Hittite, Gen. 49:29
in the cave that is in the field of Machpelah, which is opposite to Mamre, in the land of Canaan, which Abraham bought of Ephron the Hittite along with the field for a possession of a sepulchre. Gen. 49:30
The purchase of the field, and of the cave that is in it, was from the children of Heth. Gen. 49:32
And when Jacob had made an end of commanding his sons, he gathered his feet into the bed, and expired, and was gathered to his peoples. Gen. 49:33
And Joseph commanded his servants the physicians to embalm his father. And the physicians embalmed Israel. Gen. 50:2
And forty days were fulfilled for him; for so are fulfilled the days of those who are embalmed. And the Egyptians mourned for him seventy days. Gen. 50:3
And when the days of his mourning were past, Joseph spoke to the house of Pharaoh, saying, If now I have found favour in your eyes, speak, I pray you, in the ears of Pharaoh, saying, Gen. 50:4
My father made me swear, saying, Behold, I die; in my grave which I have dug myself in the land of Canaan, there shalt thou bury me. And now, let me go up, I pray thee, that I may bury my father; and I will come again. Gen. 50:5
And Joseph went up to bury his father; and with him went up all the bondmen of Pharaoh, the elders of his house, and all the elders of the land of Egypt, Gen. 50:7
and all the house of Joseph, and his brethren, and his father's house; only their little ones, and their flocks, and their herds, they left in the land of Goshen. Gen. 50:8
And there went up with him both chariots and horsemen; and the camp was very great. Gen. 50:9
And they came to the threshing-floor of Atad, which is beyond the Jordan; and there they lamented with a great and very grievous lamentation; and he made a mourning for his father of seven days. Gen. 50:10
And the inhabitants of the land, the Canaanites, saw the mourning at the threshing-floor of Atad, and they said, This is a grievous mourning of the Egyptians. Therefore the name of it was called Abel-Mizraim, which is beyond the Jordan. Gen. 50:11
and his sons carried him into the land of Canaan, and buried him in the cave of the field of Machpelah which Abraham had bought along with the field, for a possession of a sepulchre, of Ephron the Hittite, opposite to Mamre. Gen. 50:13
And when Joseph's brethren saw that their father was dead, they said, If now Joseph should be hostile to us, and should indeed requite us all the evil that we did to him! Gen. 50:15
Thus shall ye speak to Joseph: Oh forgive, I pray thee, the transgression of thy brethren, and their sin! for they did evil to thee. And now, we pray thee, forgive the transgression of the servants of the God of thy father. And Joseph wept when they spoke to him. Gen. 50:17
And Joseph said to them, Fear not: am I then in the place of God? Gen. 50:19
And Joseph saw Ephraim's children of the third generation; the sons also of Machir the son of Manasseh were born on Joseph's knees. Gen. 50:23
And Joseph said to his brethren, I die; and God will certainly visit you, and bring you up out of this land, into the land that he swore unto Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob. Gen. 50:24
And Joseph took an oath of the children of Israel, saying, God will certainly visit you; and ye shall carry up my bones hence. Gen. 50:25
And these are the names of the sons of Israel who had come into Egypt; with Jacob had they come, each with his household: Ex. 1:1
And all the souls that had come out of the loins of Jacob were seventy souls; and Joseph was in Egypt. Ex. 1:5
And the children of Israel were fruitful, and swarmed and multiplied, and became exceeding strong; and the land was full of them. Ex. 1:7
And he said to his people, Behold, the people of the children of Israel are more numerous and stronger than we. Ex. 1:9
Come on, let us deal wisely with them, lest they multiply, and it come to pass that, if war occur, they take side with our enemies and fight against us, and go up out of the land. Ex. 1:10
But the more they afflicted them, the more they multiplied and spread; and they were distressed because of the children of Israel. Ex. 1:12
And the Egyptians made the children of Israel serve with harshness; Ex. 1:13
and they embittered their life with hard labour in clay and bricks, and in all manner of labour in the field: all their labour with which they made them serve was with harshness. Ex. 1:14
And the king of Egypt spoke to the Hebrew midwives -- of whom the name of the one was Shiphrah, and the name of the other was Puah -- Ex. 1:15
and he said, When ye help the Hebrew women in bearing, and see them on the stool, if it be a son, then ye shall kill him, but if a daughter, then she shall live. Ex. 1:16
But the midwives feared God, and did not as the king of Egypt had said to them, but saved the male children alive. Ex. 1:17
And the king of Egypt called the midwives and said to them, Why have ye done this, and saved the male children alive? Ex. 1:18
And the midwives said to Pharaoh, Because the Hebrew women are not as the Egyptian; for they are strong, and they have borne before the midwife comes to them. Ex. 1:19
And God dealt well with the midwives; and the people multiplied and became very strong. Ex. 1:20
And it came to pass, because the midwives feared God, that he made them houses. Ex. 1:21
Then Pharaoh charged all his people, saying, Every son that is born ye shall cast into the river, but every daughter ye shall save alive. Ex. 1:22
And a man of the house of Levi went and took a daughter of Levi. Ex. 2:1
And the woman conceived, and bore a son. And she saw him that he was fair, and hid him three months. Ex. 2:2
And when she could no longer hide him, she took for him an ark of reeds, and plastered it with resin and with pitch, and put the child in it, and laid it in the sedge on the bank of the river. Ex. 2:3
And the daughter of Pharaoh went down to bathe in the river; and her maids went along by the river's side. And she saw the ark in the midst of the sedge, and sent her handmaid and fetched it. Ex. 2:5
And she opened it, and saw the child, and behold, the boy wept. And she had compassion on him, and said, This is one of the Hebrews' children. Ex. 2:6
And his sister said to Pharaoh's daughter, Shall I go and call thee a wet-nurse of the Hebrew women, that she may nurse the child for thee? Ex. 2:7
And Pharaoh's daughter said to her, Go. And the damsel went and called the child's mother. Ex. 2:8
And Pharaoh's daughter said to her, Take this child away and nurse it for me, and I will give thee thy wages. And the woman took the child and nursed it. Ex. 2:9
And when the child was grown, she brought him to Pharaoh's daughter, and he became her son. And she called his name Moses, and said, Because I drew him out of the water. Ex. 2:10
And he turned this way and that way, and when he saw that there was no man, he smote the Egyptian, and hid him in the sand. Ex. 2:12
And he went out on the second day, and behold, two Hebrew men were quarrelling; and he said to him that was in the wrong, Why art thou smiting thy neighbour? Ex. 2:13
And he said, Who made thee ruler and judge over us? dost thou intend to kill me, as thou killedst the Egyptian? Then Moses feared, and said, Surely the matter is known. Ex. 2:14
And Pharaoh heard of this matter, and sought to slay Moses. But Moses fled from before Pharaoh, and dwelt in the land of Midian. And he sat by the well. Ex. 2:15
And the priest of Midian had seven daughters; and they came and drew water, and filled the troughs, to water their father's flock. Ex. 2:16
And the shepherds came and drove them away; but Moses rose and helped them, and watered their flock. Ex. 2:17
And they said, An Egyptian delivered us out of the hand of the shepherds, and also drew water abundantly for us, and watered the flock. Ex. 2:19
And he said to his daughters, And where is he? why then have ye left the man behind? Call him, that he may eat bread. Ex. 2:20
And Moses consented to remain with the man; and he gave Moses Zipporah his daughter. Ex. 2:21
And it came to pass during those many days, that the king of Egypt died. And the children of Israel sighed because of the bondage, and cried; and their cry came up to God because of the bondage; Ex. 2:23
and God looked upon the children of Israel, and God acknowledged them. Ex. 2:25
And Moses tended the flock of Jethro his father-in-law, the priest of Midian. And he led the flock behind the wilderness, and came to the mountain of God -- to Horeb. Ex. 3:1
And the Angel of Jehovah appeared to him in a flame of fire out of the midst of a thorn-bush: and he looked, and behold, the thorn-bush burned with fire, and the thorn-bush was not being consumed. Ex. 3:2
And Moses said, Let me now turn aside and see this great sight, why the thorn-bush is not burnt. Ex. 3:3
And Jehovah saw that he turned aside to see, and God called to him out of the midst of the thorn-bush and said, Moses, Moses! And he said, Here am I. Ex. 3:4
And he said, Draw not nigh hither: loose thy sandals from off thy feet, for the place whereon thou standest is holy ground. Ex. 3:5
And he said, I am the God of thy father, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob. And Moses hid his face; for he was afraid to look at God. Ex. 3:6
And Jehovah said, I have seen assuredly the affliction of my people who are in Egypt, and their cry have I heard on account of their taskmasters; for I know their sorrows. Ex. 3:7
And I am come down to deliver them out of the hand of the Egyptians, and to bring them up out of that land unto a good and spacious land, unto a land flowing with milk and honey, unto the place of the Canaanites, and the Hittites, and the Amorites, and the Perizzites, and the Hivites, and the Jebusites. Ex. 3:8
And now behold, the cry of the children of Israel is come unto me; and I have also seen the oppression with which the Egyptians oppress them. Ex. 3:9
And now come, and I will send thee unto Pharaoh, that thou mayest bring forth my people the children of Israel out of Egypt. Ex. 3:10
And Moses said to God, Who am I, that I should go unto Pharaoh, and that I should bring forth the children of Israel out of Egypt? Ex. 3:11
And he said, For I will be with thee; and this shall be the sign to thee that I have sent thee: when thou hast brought forth the people out of Egypt, ye shall serve God upon this mountain. Ex. 3:12
And Moses said to God, Behold, when I come unto the children of Israel, and shall say unto them, The God of your fathers hath sent me unto you; and they shall say, What is his name? what shall I say unto them? Ex. 3:13
And God said to Moses, I AM THAT I AM. And he said, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel: I AM hath sent me unto you. Ex. 3:14
And God said moreover to Moses, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel: Jehovah, the God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, hath sent me unto you. This is my name for ever, and this is my memorial unto all generations. Ex. 3:15
Go and gather the elders of Israel together, and say unto them, Jehovah the God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, hath appeared to me, saying, I have indeed visited you, and seen that which is done unto you in Egypt; Ex. 3:16
and I have said, I will bring you up out of the affliction of Egypt, unto the land of the Canaanites, and the Hittites, and the Amorites, and the Perizzites, and the Hivites, and the Jebusites, unto a land flowing with milk and honey. Ex. 3:17
And they shall hearken to thy voice. And thou shalt come, thou and the elders of Israel, unto the king of Egypt, and ye shall say unto him, Jehovah, the God of the Hebrews, hath met with us; and now, let us go, we pray thee, three days' journey into the wilderness, that we may sacrifice to Jehovah our God. Ex. 3:18
But I know that the king of Egypt will not let you go, no, not by a powerful hand. Ex. 3:19
And I will stretch out my hand and smite Egypt with all my wonders which I will do in the midst thereof; and after that he will let you go. Ex. 3:20
And I will give this people favour in the eyes of the Egyptians, and it shall come to pass, when ye go out, that ye shall not go out empty; Ex. 3:21
but every woman shall ask of her neighbour, and of her that is the inmate of her house, utensils of silver, and utensils of gold, and clothing; and ye shall put them on your sons and on your daughters, and shall spoil the Egyptians. Ex. 3:22
And he said, Cast it on the ground. And he cast it on the ground, and it became a serpent; and Moses fled from before it. Ex. 4:3
And Jehovah said to Moses, Stretch out thy hand and take it by the tail -- and he stretched out his hand and caught it, and it became a staff in his hand -- Ex. 4:4
that they may believe that Jehovah, the God of their fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, hath appeared unto thee. Ex. 4:5
And it shall come to pass, if they will not believe thee, neither hearken to the voice of the first sign, that they will believe the voice of the other sign. Ex. 4:8
And it shall come to pass, if they will not believe also those two signs, neither hearken unto thy voice, that thou shalt take of the water of the river, and pour it on the dry land; and the water that thou takest out of the river shall become blood upon the dry land. Ex. 4:9
And he said, Ah Lord! send, I pray thee, by the hand of him whom thou wilt send. Ex. 4:13
Then the anger of Jehovah was kindled against Moses, and he said, Is not Aaron the Levite thy brother? I know that he can speak well. And also behold, he goeth out to meet thee; and when he seeth thee he will be glad in his heart. Ex. 4:14
And thou shalt speak unto him, and put the words in his mouth; and I will be with thy mouth, and with his mouth, and will teach you what ye shall do. Ex. 4:15
And he shall speak for thee unto the people; and it shall come to pass that he shall be to thee for a mouth, and thou shalt be to him for God. Ex. 4:16
And thou shalt take this staff in thy hand, with which thou shalt do the signs. Ex. 4:17
And Jehovah said to Moses in Midian, Go, return to Egypt; for all the men are dead who sought thy life. Ex. 4:19
And Moses took his wife and his sons, and set them riding upon an ass, and he returned to the land of Egypt. And Moses took the staff of God in his hand. Ex. 4:20
And Jehovah said to Moses, When thou goest to return to Egypt, see that thou do all the wonders before Pharaoh that I have put in thy hand. And I will harden his heart, that he shall not let the people go. Ex. 4:21
And it came to pass on the way, in the inn, that Jehovah came upon him, and sought to slay him. Ex. 4:24
Then Zipporah took a stone and cut off the foreskin of her son, and cast it at his feet, and said, A bloody husband indeed art thou to me! Ex. 4:25
And he let him go. Then she said, A bloody husband -- because of the circumcision. Ex. 4:26
And Jehovah said to Aaron, Go into the wilderness to meet Moses. And he went, and met him on the mountain of God, and kissed him. Ex. 4:27
And Moses told Aaron all the words of Jehovah who had sent him, and all the signs that he had commanded him. Ex. 4:28
And Moses and Aaron went and gathered all the elders of the children of Israel; Ex. 4:29
and Aaron spoke all the words that Jehovah had spoken to Moses, and did the signs before the eyes of the people. Ex. 4:30
And the people believed. And when they heard that Jehovah had visited the children of Israel, and that he had seen their affliction, then they bowed their heads and worshipped. Ex. 4:31
And afterwards Moses and Aaron went in, and said to Pharaoh, Thus saith Jehovah, the God of Israel, Let my people go that they may celebrate a feast to me in the wilderness. Ex. 5:1
And they said, The God of the Hebrews has met with us: let us go, we pray thee, three days' journey into the wilderness, and sacrifice to Jehovah our God; lest he fall upon us with pestilence or with sword. Ex. 5:3
And the king of Egypt said to them, Why do ye, Moses and Aaron, wish to have the people go off from their works? Away, to your burdens! Ex. 5:4
And Pharaoh said, Behold the people of the land are now many, and ye wish to make them rest from their burdens. Ex. 5:5
And Pharaoh commanded the same day the taskmasters of the people, and their officers, saying, Ex. 5:6
Ye shall no more give the people straw to make brick, as heretofore: let them go and gather straw for themselves. Ex. 5:7
And the number of the bricks they have made heretofore shall ye lay upon them: ye shall not diminish any of it, for they are idle; therefore they cry, saying, Let us go and sacrifice to our God. Ex. 5:8
Let them put heavier labour on the men, that they may be taken up with it, and not regard vain words. Ex. 5:9
And the taskmasters of the people and their officers went out and spoke to the people, saying, Thus says Pharaoh: I will not give you straw: Ex. 5:10
And the people were scattered abroad throughout the land of Egypt to gather stubble for straw. Ex. 5:12
And the taskmasters urged them, saying, Fulfil your labours, the daily work, as when there was straw. Ex. 5:13
And the officers of the children of Israel, whom Pharaoh's taskmasters had set over them, were beaten, and it was said, Why have ye not fulfilled your task in making brick, both yesterday and to-day, as heretofore? Ex. 5:14
Then the officers of the children of Israel came and cried to Pharaoh, saying, Why dost thou deal thus with thy bondmen? Ex. 5:15
There is no straw given to thy bondmen, and they say to us, Make brick; and behold, thy bondmen are beaten, but it is the fault of thy people. Ex. 5:16
And now go -- work! and straw shall not be given you, and ye shall deliver the measure of bricks. Ex. 5:18
And the officers of the children of Israel saw that it stood ill with them, because it was said, Ye shall not diminish anything from your bricks, the daily work. Ex. 5:19
And they said to them, Jehovah look upon you and judge, that ye have made our odour to stink in the eyes of Pharaoh, and in the eyes of his bondmen, putting a sword into their hand to kill us! Ex. 5:21
And I appeared unto Abraham, unto Isaac, and unto Jacob, as the Almighty *God; but by my name Jehovah I was not made known to them. Ex. 6:3
And I established also my covenant with them, to give them the land of Canaan, the land of their pilgrimage, in which they were sojourners. Ex. 6:4
And I have heard also the groaning of the children of Israel, whom the Egyptians have forced to serve, and I have remembered my covenant. Ex. 6:5
Therefore say unto the children of Israel, I am Jehovah, and I will bring you out from under the burdens of the Egyptians, and I will deliver you from their service, and I will redeem you with a stretched-out arm, and with great judgments. Ex. 6:6
And I will take you to me for a people, and will be your God; and ye shall know that I, Jehovah your God, am he who bringeth you out from under the burdens of the Egyptians. Ex. 6:7
And I will bring you into the land concerning which I swore to give it unto Abraham, unto Isaac, and unto Jacob; and I will give it you for a possession: I am Jehovah. Ex. 6:8
And Moses spoke thus to the children of Israel; but they did not listen to Moses from anguish of spirit, and from hard service. Ex. 6:9
Go in, speak unto Pharaoh king of Egypt, that he let the children of Israel go out of his land. Ex. 6:11
And Moses spoke before Jehovah, saying, Lo, the children of Israel do not hearken to me: how then should Pharaoh hearken to me, to me of uncircumcised lips? Ex. 6:12
And Jehovah spoke to Moses and to Aaron, and gave them a commandment to the children of Israel, and to Pharaoh king of Egypt, to bring the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt. Ex. 6:13
These are the heads of their fathers' houses: the sons of Reuben, the firstborn of Israel: Enoch and Phallu, Hezron and Carmi: these are the families of Reuben. Ex. 6:14
-- And the sons of Simeon: Jemuel, and Jamin, and Ohad, and Jachin, and Zohar, and Saul the son of a Canaanitish woman: these are the families of Simeon. Ex. 6:15
And these are the names of the sons of Levi, according to their generations: Gershon, and Kohath, and Merari. And the years of the life of Levi were a hundred and thirty-seven years. Ex. 6:16
The sons of Gershon: Libni and Shimei, according to their families. Ex. 6:17
And the sons of Kohath: Amram, and Jizhar, and Hebron, and Uzziel. And the years of the life of Kohath were a hundred and thirty-three years. Ex. 6:18
And the sons of Merari: Mahli and Mushi: these are the families of Levi according to their generations. Ex. 6:19
And Amram took Jochebed his aunt as wife; and she bore him Aaron and Moses. And the years of the life of Amram were a hundred and thirty-seven years. Ex. 6:20
And the sons of Jizhar: Korah, and Nepheg, and Zicri. Ex. 6:21
And the sons of Uzziel: Mishael, and Elzaphan, and Sithri. Ex. 6:22
And the sons of Korah: Assir, and Elkanah, and Abiasaph: these are the families of the Korahites. Ex. 6:24
And Eleazar Aaron's son took one of the daughters of Putiel as wife; and she bore him Phinehas: these are the heads of the fathers of the Levites according to their families. Ex. 6:25
This is that Aaron and Moses, to whom Jehovah said, Bring out the children of Israel from the land of Egypt according to their hosts. Ex. 6:26
These are they who spoke to Pharaoh king of Egypt, to bring out the children of Israel from Egypt: this is that Moses and Aaron. Ex. 6:27
And it came to pass on the day when Jehovah spoke to Moses in the land of Egypt, Ex. 6:28
Thou shalt speak all that I command thee; and Aaron thy brother shall speak unto Pharaoh, that he let the children of Israel go out of his land. Ex. 7:2
And I will render Pharaoh's heart obdurate, and multiply my signs and my wonders in the land of Egypt. Ex. 7:3
And Pharaoh will not hearken unto you; and I will lay my hand upon Egypt, and bring forth my hosts, my people, the children of Israel, out of the land of Egypt by great judgments. Ex. 7:4
And the Egyptians shall know that I am Jehovah, when I stretch forth my hand on Egypt, and bring out the children of Israel from among them. Ex. 7:5
And Pharaoh also called the sages and the sorcerers; and they too, the scribes of Egypt, did so with their enchantments: Ex. 7:11
And Jehovah said to Moses, Pharaoh's heart is hardened: he refuseth to let the people go. Ex. 7:14
Go unto Pharaoh in the morning -- behold, he will go out unto the water -- and take thy stand by the bank of the river in front of him; and take in thy hand the staff that was turned into a serpent. Ex. 7:15
And say unto him, Jehovah the God of the Hebrews has sent me to thee, saying, Let my people go, that they may serve me in the wilderness; but behold, hitherto thou hast not hearkened. Ex. 7:16
Thus saith Jehovah: In this shalt thou know that I am Jehovah -- behold, I will smite with the staff that is in my hand upon the water which is in the river, and it shall be turned into blood. Ex. 7:17
And the fish that is in the river shall die; and the river shall stink; and the Egyptians shall loathe to drink the water out of the river. Ex. 7:18
And Jehovah said to Moses, Say unto Aaron, Take thy staff, and stretch out thy hand upon the waters of the Egyptians -- upon their streams, upon their rivers, and upon their ponds, and upon all their reservoirs of water, that they may become blood; and there shall be blood throughout the land of Egypt, both in vessels of wood and in vessels of stone. Ex. 7:19
And Moses and Aaron did so, as Jehovah had commanded; and he lifted up the staff, and smote the waters that were in the river before the eyes of Pharaoh, and before the eyes of his bondmen; and all the waters that were in the river were turned into blood. Ex. 7:20
And the fish that was in the river died; and the river stank, and the Egyptians could not drink the water of the river; and the blood was throughout the land of Egypt. Ex. 7:21
And the scribes of Egypt did so with their sorceries; and Pharaoh's heart was stubborn, neither did he hearken to them, as Jehovah had said. Ex. 7:22
And all the Egyptians dug round about the river for water to drink; for they could not drink of the water of the river. Ex. 7:24
And seven days were fulfilled, after Jehovah had smitten the river. Ex. 7:25
And the river shall swarm with frogs, and they shall go up and come into thy house, and into thy bedroom, and upon thy bed, and into the house of thy bondmen, and upon thy people, and into thine ovens, and into thy kneading-troughs. Ex. 8:3
And the frogs shall come up both upon thee and upon thy people, and upon all thy bondmen. Ex. 8:4
And Jehovah said to Moses, Say unto Aaron, Stretch out thy hand with thy staff over the streams, over the rivers, and over the ponds, and cause frogs to come up on the land of Egypt. Ex. 8:5
And Aaron stretched out his hand over the waters of Egypt; and the frogs came up, and covered the land of Egypt. Ex. 8:6
And the scribes did so with their sorceries, and brought up frogs on the land of Egypt. Ex. 8:7
And Pharaoh called Moses and Aaron, and said, Intreat Jehovah, that he may take away the frogs from me and from my people; and I will let the people go, that they may sacrifice to Jehovah. Ex. 8:8
And Moses said to Pharaoh, Glory over me, for what time shall I intreat for thee, and for thy bondmen, and for thy people, to cut off the frogs from thee and from thy houses; so that they shall remain in the river only? Ex. 8:9
And the frogs shall depart from thee, and from thy houses, and from thy bondmen, and from thy people: they shall remain in the river only. Ex. 8:11
And Moses and Aaron went out from Pharaoh; and Moses cried to Jehovah because of the frogs that he had brought against Pharaoh. Ex. 8:12
And Jehovah did according to the word of Moses; and the frogs died out of the houses, out of the courts, and out of the fields. Ex. 8:13
And they gathered them in heaps; and the land stank. Ex. 8:14
And Jehovah said to Moses, Say unto Aaron, Stretch out thy staff, and smite the dust of the earth, and it shall become gnats throughout the land of Egypt. Ex. 8:16
And they did so; and Aaron stretched out his hand with his staff, and smote the dust of the earth, and there arose gnats on man and on beast: all the dust of the land became gnats throughout the land of Egypt. Ex. 8:17
And the scribes did so with their sorceries, to bring forth gnats; but they could not. And the gnats were on man and on beast. Ex. 8:18
Then the scribes said to Pharaoh, This is the finger of God! But Pharaoh's heart was stubborn, and he hearkened not to them, as Jehovah had said. Ex. 8:19
And Jehovah said to Moses, Rise up early in the morning, and stand before Pharaoh -- behold, he will go out to the water -- and say to him, Thus saith Jehovah, Let my people go, that they may serve me. Ex. 8:20
For, if thou do not let my people go, behold, I will send dog-flies upon thee, and upon thy bondmen, and upon thy people, and into thy houses; and the houses of the Egyptians shall be full of dog-flies, and also the ground on which they are. Ex. 8:21
And I will distinguish in that day the land of Goshen, in which my people dwell, that no dog-flies shall be there; that thou mayest know that I Jehovah am in the midst of the land. Ex. 8:22
And Jehovah did so; and there came dog-flies in a multitude into the house of Pharaoh, and into the houses of his bondmen; and throughout the land of Egypt, the land was corrupted by the dog-flies. Ex. 8:24
And Pharaoh called Moses and Aaron, and said, Go, sacrifice to your God in the land. Ex. 8:25
And Moses said, It is not proper to do so; for we should sacrifice the abomination of the Egyptians to Jehovah our God: lo, if we sacrificed the abomination of the Egyptians before their eyes, would they not stone us? Ex. 8:26
We will go three days' journey into the wilderness, and sacrifice to Jehovah our God, as he shall command us. Ex. 8:27
And Pharaoh said, I will let you go, that you may sacrifice to Jehovah your God in the wilderness; only, go not very far away: intreat for me! Ex. 8:28
And Moses said, Behold, I go out from thee, and will intreat Jehovah; and the dog-flies will depart from Pharaoh, from his bondmen, and from his people, to-morrow; only let not Pharaoh deal deceitfully any more in not letting the people go to sacrifice to Jehovah. Ex. 8:29
And Jehovah did according to the word of Moses; and he removed the dog-flies from Pharaoh, from his bondmen, and from his people; there remained not one. Ex. 8:31
And Pharaoh hardened his heart this time also, and would not let the people go. Ex. 8:32
And Jehovah said to Moses, Go in unto Pharaoh, and tell him, Thus saith Jehovah the God of the Hebrews: Let my people go, that they may serve me. Ex. 9:1
behold, the hand of Jehovah shall be on thy cattle which is in the field, on the horses, on the asses, on the camels, on the oxen and on the sheep, with a very grievous plague. Ex. 9:3
And Jehovah will distinguish between the cattle of Israel and the cattle of Egypt; and there shall nothing die of all that the children of Israel have. Ex. 9:4
And Jehovah appointed a set time, saying, To-morrow will Jehovah do this thing in the land. Ex. 9:5
And Jehovah did this thing on the following day, and all the cattle of Egypt died; but of the cattle of the children of Israel died not one. Ex. 9:6
And Pharaoh sent, and behold, there was not one of the cattle of the Israelites dead. But the heart of Pharaoh was hardened, and he did not let the people go. Ex. 9:7
And Jehovah said to Moses and to Aaron, Take to yourselves handfuls of ashes of the furnace, and let Moses scatter it toward the heavens before the eyes of Pharaoh. Ex. 9:8
And it shall become fine dust over all the land of Egypt, and shall become boils on man and on cattle, breaking out with blisters, throughout the land of Egypt. Ex. 9:9
And they took ashes of the furnace, and stood before Pharaoh; and Moses sprinkled it toward the heavens; and it became boils with blisters breaking out on man and on cattle. Ex. 9:10
And the scribes could not stand before Moses because of the boils; for the boils were on the scribes, and on all the Egyptians. Ex. 9:11
And Jehovah said to Moses, Rise up early in the morning, and set thyself before Pharaoh, and say to him, Thus saith Jehovah, the God of the Hebrews: Let my people go, that they may serve me. Ex. 9:13
For I will at this time send all my plagues to thy heart, and on thy bondmen, and on thy people; that thou mayest know that there is none like me in all the earth. Ex. 9:14
For now shall I put forth my hand, and I will smite thee and thy people with pestilence; and thou shalt be cut off from the earth. Ex. 9:15
And for this very cause have I raised thee up, to shew thee my power; and that my name may be declared in all the earth. Ex. 9:16
And now send, and secure thy cattle, and all that thou hast in the field: all the men and the cattle that are found in the field, and are not brought home -- on them the hail shall come down, and they shall die. Ex. 9:19
He that feared the word of Jehovah among the bondmen of Pharaoh made his bondmen and his cattle flee into the houses. Ex. 9:20
But he that did not regard the word of Jehovah left his bondmen and his cattle in the field. Ex. 9:21
And Jehovah said to Moses, Stretch out thy hand toward the heavens, that there may be hail throughout the land of Egypt, upon men, and upon cattle, and upon every herb of the field in the land of Egypt. Ex. 9:22
And Moses stretched out his staff toward the heavens, and Jehovah gave thunder and hail; and the fire ran along the ground; and Jehovah rained hail on the land of Egypt. Ex. 9:23
And there was hail, and fire mingled with the hail, very grievous, such as there had been none like it in all the land of Egypt since it became a nation. Ex. 9:24
And the hail smote throughout the land of Egypt all that was in the field, both men and cattle; and the hail smote every herb of the field, and broke every tree of the field. Ex. 9:25
Only in the land of Goshen, where the children of Israel were, was there no hail. Ex. 9:26
And Pharaoh sent, and called Moses and Aaron, and said to them, I have sinned this time: Jehovah is the righteous one, but I and my people are the wicked ones. Ex. 9:27
And Moses said to him, When I go out of the city, I will spread out my hands to Jehovah: the thunder will cease, and there will be no more hail; that thou mayest know that the earth is Jehovah's. Ex. 9:29
And the flax and the barley were smitten; for the barley was in the ear, and the flax was bolled. Ex. 9:31
But the wheat and the spelt were not smitten; for they were not come out into ear. Ex. 9:32
And Moses went out of the city from Pharaoh, and spread out his hands to Jehovah; and the thunders and hail ceased, and the rain was not any more poured on the earth. Ex. 9:33
And Pharaoh saw that the rain and the hail and the thunders had ceased, and he sinned yet more, and hardened his heart, he, and his bondmen. Ex. 9:34
And the heart of Pharaoh was stubborn, neither would he let the children of Israel go, as Jehovah had spoken by Moses. Ex. 9:35
And Jehovah said to Moses, Go in unto Pharaoh; for I have hardened his heart, and the heart of his bondmen, that I might do these my signs in their midst, Ex. 10:1
and that thou mightest tell in the ears of thy son and thy son's son what I have wrought in Egypt, and my signs which I have done among them; and ye shall know that I am Jehovah. Ex. 10:2
And Moses and Aaron came to Pharaoh, and said to him, Thus saith Jehovah the God of the Hebrews: How long dost thou refuse to humble thyself before me? let my people go, that they may serve me. Ex. 10:3
and they shall cover the face of the land, so that ye will not be able to see the land; and they shall eat the residue of that which is escaped, which ye have remaining from the hail, and shall eat every tree which ye have growing in the field; Ex. 10:5
and they shall fill thy houses, and the houses of all thy bondmen, and the houses of all the Egyptians; which neither thy fathers nor thy fathers' fathers have seen, since the day that they were upon the earth unto this day. And he turned and went out from Pharaoh. Ex. 10:6
And Pharaoh's bondmen said to him, How long shall this man be a snare to us? let the men go, that they may serve Jehovah their God: dost thou not yet know that Egypt is ruined? Ex. 10:7
And Jehovah said to Moses, Stretch out thy hand over the land of Egypt for the locusts, that they may come up over the land of Egypt, and eat every herb of the land -- all that the hail hath left. Ex. 10:12
And Moses stretched out his staff over the land of Egypt, and Jehovah brought an east wind on the land all that day and all that night. When it was morning, the east wind brought the locusts. Ex. 10:13
And the locusts went up over all the land of Egypt, and rested in all the borders of Egypt, very grievous; before them there were no such locusts as they, neither after them will be such. Ex. 10:14
And they covered the face of the whole land, so that the land was darkened; and they ate every herb of the land, and all the fruit of the trees that the hail had left; and there remained not any green thing on the trees, and in the herbs of the field, throughout the land of Egypt. Ex. 10:15
And Jehovah turned a very powerful west wind, which took away the locusts, and drove them into the Red Sea: there remained not one locust in all the borders of Egypt. Ex. 10:19
And Jehovah made Pharaoh's heart stubborn, and he did not let the children of Israel go. Ex. 10:20
And Jehovah said to Moses, Stretch out thy hand toward the heavens, that there may be darkness in the land of Egypt -- so that one may feel darkness. Ex. 10:21
And Moses stretched out his hand toward the heavens; and there was a thick darkness throughout the land of Egypt three days: Ex. 10:22
they saw not one another, neither rose any from his place, for three days. But all the children of Israel had light in their dwellings. Ex. 10:23
And Pharaoh said to him, Get thee from me, take heed to thyself, see my face no more; for in the day thou seest my face thou shalt die. Ex. 10:28
Speak now in the ears of the people, that they ask every man of his neighbour, and every woman of her neighbour, utensils of silver and utensils of gold. Ex. 11:2
And Jehovah gave the people favour in the eyes of the Egyptians. Moreover the man Moses was very great in the land of Egypt -- in the eyes of Pharaoh's bondmen, and in the eyes of the people. Ex. 11:3
And Moses said, Thus saith Jehovah: About midnight I will go out into the midst of Egypt. Ex. 11:4
And all the firstborn in the land of Egypt shall die, from the firstborn of Pharaoh who sitteth on his throne, even unto the firstborn of the bondwoman that is behind the mill; and all the firstborn of cattle. Ex. 11:5
And there shall be a great cry throughout the land of Egypt, such as there hath been none like it, nor shall be like it any more. Ex. 11:6
But against any of the children of Israel shall not a dog move his tongue, against man or beast; that ye may know that Jehovah distinguisheth between the Egyptians and Israel. Ex. 11:7
And all these thy bondmen shall come down unto me, and bow down to me, saying, Go out, thou, and all the people that follow thee; and after that I will go out. And he went out from Pharaoh in a glowing anger. Ex. 11:8
And Jehovah had said to Moses, Pharaoh shall not hearken to you; that my wonders may be multiplied in the land of Egypt. Ex. 11:9
And Moses and Aaron did all these wonders before Pharaoh; but Jehovah made Pharaoh's heart stubborn, and he did not let the children of Israel go out of his land. Ex. 11:10
And Jehovah spoke to Moses and Aaron in the land of Egypt, saying, Ex. 12:1
This month shall be unto you the beginning of months: it shall be the first month of the year to you. Ex. 12:2
Speak unto all the assembly of Israel, saying, On the tenth of this month let them take themselves each a lamb, for a father's house, a lamb for a house. Ex. 12:3
And if the household be too small for a lamb, let him and his neighbour next unto his house take it according to the number of the souls; each according to the measure of his eating shall ye count for the lamb. Ex. 12:4
Your lamb shall be without blemish, a yearling male; ye shall take it from the sheep, or from the goats. Ex. 12:5
And ye shall keep it until the fourteenth day of this month; and the whole congregation of the assembly of Israel shall kill it between the two evenings. Ex. 12:6
And they shall take of the blood, and put it on the two door-posts and on the lintel of the houses in which they eat it. Ex. 12:7
And they shall eat the flesh in that night, roast with fire, and unleavened bread; with bitter herbs shall they eat it. Ex. 12:8
And ye shall let none of it remain until the morning; and what remaineth of it until the morning ye shall burn with fire. Ex. 12:10
And I will go through the land of Egypt in that night, and smite all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, both man and beast; and against all the gods of Egypt I will execute judgment: I am Jehovah. Ex. 12:12
And the blood shall be for you as a sign on the houses in which ye are; and when I see the blood, I will pass over you; and the plague shall not be among you for destruction, when I smite the land of Egypt. Ex. 12:13
Seven days shall ye eat unleavened bread: on the very first day ye shall put away leaven out of your houses; for whoever eateth leavened bread from the first day until the seventh day -- that soul shall be cut off from Israel. Ex. 12:15
And on the first day ye shall have a holy convocation, and on the seventh day a holy convocation: no manner of work shall be done on them, save what is eaten by every person -- that only shall be done by you. Ex. 12:16
And ye shall keep the feast of unleavened bread; for in this same day have I brought your hosts out of the land of Egypt; and ye shall keep this day in your generations as an ordinance for ever. Ex. 12:17
In the first month, on the fourteenth day of the month, in the evening, ye shall eat unleavened bread until the one and twentieth day of the month in the evening. Ex. 12:18
Seven days shall there be no leaven found in your houses; for whoever eateth what is leavened -- that soul shall be cut off from the assembly of Israel, whether he be a sojourner, or born in the land. Ex. 12:19
And Moses called all the elders of Israel, and said to them, Seize and take yourselves lambs for your families, and kill the passover. Ex. 12:21
And take a bunch of hyssop, and dip it in the blood that is in the bason, and smear the lintel and the two door-posts with the blood that is in the bason; and none of you shall go out of the door of his house until the morning. Ex. 12:22
And Jehovah will pass through to smite the Egyptians; and when he sees the blood on the lintel, and on the two door-posts, Jehovah will pass over the door, and will not suffer the destroyer to come into your houses to smite you. Ex. 12:23
And it shall come to pass, when ye are come into the land that Jehovah will give you, as he has promised, that ye shall keep this service. Ex. 12:25
that ye shall say, It is a sacrifice of passover to Jehovah, who passed over the houses of the children of Israel in Egypt when he smote the Egyptians and delivered our houses. And the people bowed their heads and worshipped. Ex. 12:27
And the children of Israel went away, and did as Jehovah had commanded Moses and Aaron; so did they. Ex. 12:28
And it came to pass that at midnight Jehovah smote all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, from the firstborn of Pharaoh who sat on his throne to the firstborn of the captive that was in the dungeon, and all the firstborn of cattle. Ex. 12:29
And Pharaoh rose up in the night, he, and all his bondmen, and all the Egyptians; and there was a great cry in Egypt; for there was not a house in which there was not one dead. Ex. 12:30
And he called Moses and Aaron in the night, and said, Rise up, go away from among my people, both ye and the children of Israel; and go, serve Jehovah, as ye have said. Ex. 12:31
And the Egyptians urged the people, to send them out of the land in haste; for they said, We are all dead men! Ex. 12:33
And the people took their dough before it was leavened; their kneading-troughs bound up in their clothes upon their shoulders. Ex. 12:34
And the children of Israel had done according to the word of Moses, and they had asked of the Egyptians utensils of silver, and utensils of gold, and clothing. Ex. 12:35
And Jehovah had given the people favour in the eyes of the Egyptians, and they gave to them; and they spoiled the Egyptians. Ex. 12:36
And the children of Israel journeyed from Rameses to Succoth, about six hundred thousand on foot that were men, besides children. Ex. 12:37
And they baked the dough that they brought forth out of Egypt into unleavened cakes, for it was not leavened; for they were driven out of Egypt, and could not wait; neither had they prepared for themselves any food. Ex. 12:39
And the residence of the children of Israel that they resided in Egypt was four hundred and thirty years. Ex. 12:40
And it came to pass at the end of the four hundred and thirty years, on that same day it came to pass that all the hosts of Jehovah went out from the land of Egypt. Ex. 12:41
It is a night of observance to Jehovah, because of their being brought out from the land of Egypt: that same night is an observance to Jehovah for all the children of Israel in their generations. Ex. 12:42
And Jehovah said to Moses and Aaron, This is the ordinance of the passover: No stranger shall eat of it; Ex. 12:43
In one house shall it be eaten; thou shalt not carry forth any of the flesh abroad out of the house; neither shall ye break a bone thereof. Ex. 12:46
All the assembly of Israel shall hold it. Ex. 12:47
And when a sojourner sojourneth with thee, and would hold the passover to Jehovah, let all his males be circumcised, and then let him come near and hold it; and he shall be as one that is born in the land; but no uncircumcised person shall eat thereof. Ex. 12:48
One law shall be for him that is home-born and for the sojourner that sojourneth among you. Ex. 12:49
And all the children of Israel did as Jehovah had commanded Moses and Aaron; so did they. Ex. 12:50
And it came to pass on that same day, that Jehovah brought the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt according to their hosts. Ex. 12:51
Hallow unto me every firstborn, whatever breaketh open the womb among the children of Israel, of man and of cattle: it is mine. Ex. 13:2
And Moses said to the people, Remember this day, in which ye came out from Egypt, out of the house of bondage; for with a powerful hand hath Jehovah brought you out from this; and nothing leavened shall be eaten. Ex. 13:3
Ye come out to-day, in the month Abib. Ex. 13:4
And it shall be when Jehovah hath brought thee into the land of the Canaanite and the Hittite and the Amorite and the Hivite and the Jebusite, which he swore to thy fathers to give thee, a land flowing with milk and honey, that thou shalt keep this service in this month. Ex. 13:5
Seven days shalt thou eat unleavened bread; and in the seventh day is a feast to Jehovah. Ex. 13:6
Unleavened bread shall be eaten the seven days; and leavened bread shall not be seen with thee, neither shall there be leaven seen with thee in all thy borders. Ex. 13:7
And it shall be for a sign to thee on thy hand, and for a memorial between thine eyes, that the law of Jehovah may be in thy mouth; for with a powerful hand hath Jehovah brought thee out of Egypt. Ex. 13:9
And it shall be when Jehovah hath brought thee into the land of the Canaanites, as he hath sworn to thee and to thy fathers, and hath given it thee, Ex. 13:11
that thou shalt offer unto Jehovah all that breaketh open the womb, and every firstling that cometh of cattle which is thine: the males shall be Jehovah's. Ex. 13:12
And it shall be when thy son asketh thee in time to come, saying, What is this? that thou shalt say to him, With a powerful hand Jehovah brought us out from Egypt, out of the house of bondage. Ex. 13:14
And it came to pass, when Pharaoh stubbornly refused to let us go, that Jehovah slew all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, both the firstborn of men and the firstborn of cattle: therefore I sacrifice to Jehovah all that breaketh open the womb -- being males; and every firstborn of my children I ransom. Ex. 13:15
And it came to pass, when Pharaoh let the people go, that God did not lead them the way of the land of the Philistines, although that was near; for God said, That the people may not repent when they see conflict, and return to Egypt. Ex. 13:17
And God led the people about, the way of the wilderness of the Red Sea; and the children of Israel went arrayed out of the land of Egypt. Ex. 13:18
And Moses took the bones of Joseph with him; for he had made the children of Israel swear an oath, saying, God will be sure to visit you; then ye shall carry my bones with you hence. Ex. 13:19
And they took their journey from Succoth, and encamped in Etham, at the end of the wilderness. Ex. 13:20
And Jehovah went before their face by day in a pillar of a cloud, to lead them in the way; and by night in a pillar of fire, to give them light; so that they could go day and night. Ex. 13:21
The pillar of the cloud did not remove from before the people by day, nor the pillar of fire by night. Ex. 13:22
Speak unto the children of Israel, that they turn and encamp before Pi-hahiroth, between Migdol and the sea: before Baal-Zephon, opposite to it, shall ye encamp by the sea. Ex. 14:2
And Pharaoh will say of the children of Israel, They are entangled in the land, the wilderness has hemmed them in. Ex. 14:3
And I will harden Pharaoh's heart, that he may pursue after them; and I will glorify myself in Pharaoh, and in all his host; and the Egyptians shall know that I am Jehovah. And they did so. Ex. 14:4
And it was told the king of Egypt that the people had fled; and the heart of Pharaoh and of his bondmen was turned against the people, and they said, Why have we done this, that we have let Israel go from our service? Ex. 14:5
And he took six hundred chosen chariots, and all the chariots of Egypt, and captains over every one of them. Ex. 14:7
And Jehovah hardened the heart of Pharaoh king of Egypt, and he pursued after the children of Israel; and the children of Israel had gone out with a high hand. Ex. 14:8
And the Egyptians pursued after them, -- all the horses and chariots of Pharaoh, and his horsemen, and his army, and overtook them where they had encamped by the sea, beside Pi-hahiroth, opposite to Baal-Zephon. Ex. 14:9
And Pharaoh approached; and the children of Israel lifted up their eyes, and behold, the Egyptians marched after them; and the children of Israel were much afraid, and cried out to Jehovah. Ex. 14:10
And they said to Moses, Is it because there were no graves in Egypt, thou hast taken us away to die in the wilderness? why hast thou done this to us, that thou hast led us out of Egypt? Ex. 14:11
Is not this what we told thee in Egypt, when we said, Let us alone, and we will serve the Egyptians? For it had been better for us to serve the Egyptians than to die in the wilderness. Ex. 14:12
And Moses said to the people, Fear not: stand still, and see the salvation of Jehovah, which he will work for you to-day; for the Egyptians whom ye have seen to-day, ye shall see them again no more for ever. Ex. 14:13
And Jehovah said to Moses, Why dost thou cry unto me? Speak unto the children of Israel, that they go forward. Ex. 14:15
And thou, lift thy staff, and stretch out thy hand over the sea, and divide it; and the children of Israel shall go on dry ground through the midst of the sea. Ex. 14:16
And I, behold, I will harden the hearts of the Egyptians, and they shall pursue after them; and I will glorify myself in Pharaoh and in all his host, in his chariots and in his horsemen. Ex. 14:17
And the Egyptians shall know that I am Jehovah, when I have glorified myself in Pharaoh, in his chariots and in his horsemen. Ex. 14:18
And the Angel of God, who went before the camp of Israel, removed and went behind them; and the pillar of the cloud went from before them, and stood behind them. Ex. 14:19
And it came between the camp of the Egyptians and the camp of Israel; and was a cloud and darkness, and lit up the night; and the one did not come near the other all the night. Ex. 14:20
And Moses stretched out his hand over the sea; and Jehovah made the sea go back by a strong east wind all the night, and made the sea dry land, and the waters were divided. Ex. 14:21
And the children of Israel went through the midst of the sea on the dry ground; and the waters were a wall to them on their right hand and on their left. Ex. 14:22
And the Egyptians pursued and came after them -- all Pharaoh's horses, his chariots and his horsemen, into the midst of the sea. Ex. 14:23
And it came to pass in the morning watch, that Jehovah looked upon the camp of the Egyptians, in the pillar of fire and of the cloud, and embarrassed the camp of the Egyptians. Ex. 14:24
And he took off their chariot wheels, and caused them to drive with difficulty; and the Egyptians said, Let us flee before Israel, for Jehovah is fighting for them against the Egyptians! Ex. 14:25
And Jehovah said to Moses, Stretch out thy hand over the sea, that the waters may return upon the Egyptians, upon their chariots and upon their horsemen. Ex. 14:26
And Moses stretched out his hand over the sea, and the sea returned to its strength toward the morning; and the Egyptians fled against it; and Jehovah overturned the Egyptians into the midst of the sea. Ex. 14:27
And the waters returned, and covered the chariots and the horsemen of all the host of Pharaoh that had come into the sea after them; there remained not even one of them. Ex. 14:28
And the children of Israel walked on dry ground through the midst of the sea; and the waters were a wall to them on their right hand and on their left. Ex. 14:29
Thus Jehovah saved Israel that day out of the hand of the Egyptians; and Israel saw the Egyptians dead on the sea-shore. Ex. 14:30
And Israel saw the great power with which Jehovah had wrought against the Egyptians; and the people feared Jehovah, and believed in Jehovah, and in Moses his bondman. Ex. 14:31
Then sang Moses and the children of Israel this song to Jehovah, and spoke, saying, I will sing unto Jehovah, for he is highly exalted: The horse and his rider hath he thrown into the sea. Ex. 15:1
Pharaoh's chariots and his army hath he cast into the sea; His chosen captains also are drowned in the Red Sea. Ex. 15:4
The depths covered them; they sank to the bottom as a stone. Ex. 15:5
Thy right hand, Jehovah, is become glorious in power: Thy right hand, Jehovah, hath dashed in pieces the enemy. Ex. 15:6
And by the greatness of thine excellency thou hast overthrown thine adversaries: Thou sentest forth thy burning wrath, it consumed them as stubble. Ex. 15:7
And by the breath of thy nostrils the waters were heaped up; The streams stood as a mound; The depths were congealed in the heart of the sea. Ex. 15:8
The enemy said, I will pursue, I will overtake, I will divide the spoil; my soul shall be sated upon them; I will unsheath my sword, my hand shall dispossess them. Ex. 15:9
Thou didst blow with thy breath, the sea covered them; They sank as lead in the mighty waters. Ex. 15:10
Who is like unto thee, Jehovah, among the gods? Who is like unto thee, glorifying thyself in holiness, Fearful in praises, doing wonders? Ex. 15:11
Thou stretchedst out thy right hand, the earth swallowed them. Ex. 15:12
Thou by thy mercy hast led forth the people that thou hast redeemed; Thou hast guided them by thy strength unto the abode of thy holiness. Ex. 15:13
The peoples heard it, they were afraid: A thrill seized the inhabitants of Philistia. Ex. 15:14
Then the princes of Edom were amazed; The mighty men of Moab, trembling hath seized them; All the inhabitants of Canaan melted away. Ex. 15:15
Fear and dread fall upon them; By the greatness of thine arm they are still as a stone; Till thy people pass over, Jehovah, Till the people pass over that thou hast purchased. Ex. 15:16
Thou shalt bring them in, and plant them in the mountain of thine inheritance, The place that thou, Jehovah, hast made thy dwelling, The Sanctuary, Lord, that thy hands have prepared. Ex. 15:17
For the horse of Pharaoh, with his chariots and with his horsemen, came into the sea, and Jehovah brought again the waters of the sea upon them; and the children of Israel went on dry ground through the midst of the sea. Ex. 15:19
And Miriam the prophetess, the sister of Aaron, took the tambour in her hand, and all the women went out after her with tambours and with dances. Ex. 15:20
And Miriam answered them, Sing to Jehovah, for he is highly exalted: The horse and his rider hath he thrown into the sea. Ex. 15:21
And Moses brought Israel from the Red Sea, and they went out into the wilderness of Shur; and they went three days in the wilderness, and found no water. Ex. 15:22
And they came to Marah, and could not drink the waters of Marah, for they were bitter; therefore the name of it was called Marah. Ex. 15:23
And the people murmured against Moses, saying, What shall we drink? Ex. 15:24
And he cried to Jehovah; and Jehovah shewed him wood, and he cast it into the waters, and the waters became sweet. There he made for them a statute and an ordinance; and there he tested them. Ex. 15:25
And he said, If thou wilt diligently hearken to the voice of Jehovah thy God, and do what is right in his eyes, and incline thine ears to his commandments, and keep all his statutes, I will put none of the complaints upon thee that I have put upon the Egyptians; for I am Jehovah who healeth thee. Ex. 15:26
And they came to Elim; and twelve springs of water were there, and seventy palm trees; and they encamped there by the waters. Ex. 15:27
And they journeyed from Elim, and the whole assembly of the children of Israel came into the wilderness of Sin, which is between Elim and Sinai, on the fifteenth day of the second month after their departure out of the land of Egypt. Ex. 16:1
And the whole assembly of the children of Israel murmured against Moses and against Aaron in the wilderness. Ex. 16:2
And the children of Israel said to them, Would that we had died by the hand of Jehovah in the land of Egypt, when we sat by the flesh-pots, when we ate bread to the full; for ye have brought us out into this wilderness, to kill this whole congregation with hunger! Ex. 16:3
Then said Jehovah to Moses, Behold, I will rain bread from heaven for you; and the people shall go out and gather the daily need on its day, that I may prove them, whether they will walk in my law, or not. Ex. 16:4
And it shall come to pass on the sixth day, that they shall prepare what they have brought in; and it shall be twice as much as they shall gather daily. Ex. 16:5
And Moses and Aaron said to all the children of Israel, In the evening, then shall ye know that Jehovah has brought you out from the land of Egypt; Ex. 16:6
and in the morning, then shall ye see the glory of Jehovah; for he has heard your murmurings against Jehovah; -- and what are we, that ye murmur against us? Ex. 16:7
And Moses said, When Jehovah gives you in the evening flesh to eat, and in the morning bread to the full; for Jehovah hears your murmurings which ye murmur against him ... and what are we? your murmurings are not against us, but against Jehovah. Ex. 16:8
And Moses spoke to Aaron, Say to all the assembly of the children of Israel, Come near into the presence of Jehovah; for he has heard your murmurings. Ex. 16:9
And it came to pass, when Aaron spoke to the whole assembly of the children of Israel, that they turned toward the wilderness, and behold, the glory of Jehovah appeared in the cloud. Ex. 16:10
I have heard the murmurings of the children of Israel: speak to them, saying, Between the two evenings ye shall eat flesh, and in the morning ye shall be filled with bread; and ye shall know that I am Jehovah your God. Ex. 16:12
And it came to pass in the evening, that quails came up, and covered the camp; and in the morning the dew lay round the camp. Ex. 16:13
And when the dew that lay round it was gone up, behold, on the face of the wilderness there was something fine, granular, fine as hoar-frost, on the ground. Ex. 16:14
And the children of Israel saw it, and said one to another, What is it? for they did not know what it was. And Moses said to them, This is the bread which Jehovah has given you to eat. Ex. 16:15
This is the thing which Jehovah has commanded: Gather of it every man according to what he can eat, an omer a poll, according to the number of your persons: ye shall take every man for those that are in his tent. Ex. 16:16
And the children of Israel did so, and gathered, some much, some little. Ex. 16:17
And they measured with the omer: then he that gathered much had nothing over, and he that gathered little wanted nothing: they had gathered every man according to the measure of his eating. Ex. 16:18
And Moses said to them, Let no man leave any of it until the morning. Ex. 16:19
But they did not hearken to Moses; and some men left of it until the morning; then worms bred in it and it stank. And Moses was wroth with them. Ex. 16:20
And they gathered it every morning, every man as much as he could eat; and when the sun became hot, it melted. Ex. 16:21
And it came to pass on the sixth day, that they gathered twice as much bread, two omers for one; and all the princes of the assembly came and told Moses. Ex. 16:22
And he said to them, This is what Jehovah has said: To-morrow is the rest, the holy sabbath, of Jehovah: bake what ye will bake, and cook what ye will cook; and lay up for yourselves all that remains over, to be kept for the morning. Ex. 16:23
And they laid it up for the morning, as Moses had commanded; and it did not stink, neither was there any worm in it. Ex. 16:24
And Moses said, Eat it to-day; for to-day is sabbath to Jehovah: to-day ye shall not find it in the field. Ex. 16:25
Six days shall ye gather it; but on the seventh day is sabbath: on it there shall be none. Ex. 16:26
And it came to pass on the seventh day that there went out some from the people to gather it, and they found none. Ex. 16:27
See, for Jehovah hath given you the sabbath; therefore he giveth you on the sixth day the bread for two days. Abide every man in his place: let no man go from his place on the seventh day. Ex. 16:29
And the people rested on the seventh day. Ex. 16:30
And the house of Israel called its name Manna; and it was like coriander-seed, white; and the taste of it was like cake with honey. Ex. 16:31
And Moses said, This is the thing which Jehovah has commanded: Fill an omer of it to be kept for your generations; that they may see the bread that I gave you to eat in the wilderness, when I brought you out of the land of Egypt. Ex. 16:32
As Jehovah had commanded Moses, so Aaron deposited it before the Testimony, to be kept. Ex. 16:34
And the children of Israel ate the manna forty years, until they came into an inhabited land: they ate the manna until they came to the borders of the land of Canaan. Ex. 16:35
Now an omer is the tenth part of an ephah. Ex. 16:36
And all the assembly of the children of Israel journeyed from the wilderness of Sin, according to their journeys, at the command of Jehovah; and they encamped in Rephidim; and there was no water for the people to drink. Ex. 17:1
And the people contended with Moses, and said, Give us water, that we may drink! And Moses said to them, Why do ye dispute with me? Why do ye tempt Jehovah? Ex. 17:2
And the people thirsted there for water; and the people murmured against Moses, and said, Why is it that thou hast brought us up out of Egypt, to kill us and our children and our cattle with thirst? Ex. 17:3
And Jehovah said to Moses, Go on before the people, and take with thee of the elders of Israel, and thy staff with which thou didst smite the river, take in thy hand, and go. Ex. 17:5
Behold, I will stand before thee there upon the rock on Horeb; and thou shalt strike the rock, and there shall come water out of it, that the people may drink. And Moses did so before the eyes of the elders of Israel. Ex. 17:6
And he called the name of the place Massah, and Meribah, because of the contention of the children of Israel, and because they had tempted Jehovah, saying, Is Jehovah among us, or not? Ex. 17:7
And Moses said to Joshua, Choose us men, and go out, fight with Amalek; to-morrow I will stand on the top of the hill with the staff of God in my hand. Ex. 17:9
And Joshua did as Moses had said to him, to fight with Amalek; and Moses, Aaron and Hur went up to the top of the hill. Ex. 17:10
And Moses' hands were heavy; then they took a stone, and put it under him, and he sat on it; and Aaron and Hur supported his hands, one on this side, and one on that side; and his hands were steady until the going down of the sun. Ex. 17:12
And Joshua broke the power of Amalek and his people with the edge of the sword. Ex. 17:13
And Jehovah said to Moses, Write this for a memorial in the book, and rehearse it in the ears of Joshua, that I will utterly blot out the remembrance of Amalek from under the heavens. Ex. 17:14
And Moses built an altar, and called the name of it Jehovah-nissi. Ex. 17:15
And he said, For the hand is on the throne of Jah; Jehovah will have war with Amalek from generation to generation! Ex. 17:16
And Jethro the priest of Midian, Moses' father-in-law, heard of all that God had done to Moses, and to Israel his people; that Jehovah had brought Israel out of Egypt. Ex. 18:1
and her two sons, of whom the name of the one was Gershom -- for he said, I have been a sojourner in a foreign land, Ex. 18:3
-- and the name of the other, Eliezer -- For the God of my father has been my help, and has delivered me from the sword of Pharaoh. Ex. 18:4
And Jethro, Moses' father-in-law, came to Moses with his sons and his wife into the wilderness, where he encamped at the mountain of God. Ex. 18:5
And Moses went out to meet his father-in-law, and did obeisance, and kissed him; and they asked each other after their welfare, and went into the tent. Ex. 18:7
And Moses told his father-in-law all that Jehovah had done to Pharaoh and to the Egyptians for Israel's sake; all the trouble that had befallen them on the way, and how Jehovah had delivered them. Ex. 18:8
And Jethro rejoiced for all the goodness that Jehovah had done to Israel; that he had delivered them out of the hand of the Egyptians. Ex. 18:9
And Jethro said, Blessed be Jehovah, who has delivered you out of the hand of the Egyptians, and out of the hand of Pharaoh; who has delivered the people from under the hand of the Egyptians. Ex. 18:10
Now I know that Jehovah is greater than all gods; for in the thing in which they acted haughtily he was above them. Ex. 18:11
And Jethro, Moses' father-in-law, took a burnt-offering and sacrifices for God; and Aaron came, and all the elders of Israel, to eat bread with Moses' father-in-law in the presence of God. Ex. 18:12
And it came to pass on the morrow, that Moses sat to judge the people; and the people stood by Moses from the morning to the evening. Ex. 18:13
And Moses' father-in-law saw all that he did with the people, and said, What is this thing which thou art doing with the people? why dost thou sit alone, and all the people are standing by thee from morning to evening? Ex. 18:14
And Moses said to his father-in-law, Because the people come to me to enquire of God. Ex. 18:15
When they have a matter, they come to me, and I judge between one and another; and I make known to them the statutes of God, and his laws. Ex. 18:16
And Moses' father-in-law said to him, The thing that thou art doing is not good. Ex. 18:17
Thou wilt be quite exhausted, both thou and this people that is with thee; for the thing is too heavy for thee: thou canst not perform it alone. Ex. 18:18
Hearken now to my voice: I will give thee counsel, and God shall be with thee. Be thou for the people with God, and bring the matters before God; Ex. 18:19
and teach them the statutes and the laws, and make known to them the way in which they must walk, and the work that they must do. Ex. 18:20
But do thou provide among all the people able men, such as fear God, men of truth, hating covetousness; and place them over them, chiefs of thousands, chiefs of hundreds, chiefs of fifties, and chiefs of tens, Ex. 18:21
that they may judge the people at all times; and it shall be that they shall bring to thee every great matter, and that they shall judge every small matter, and they shall lighten the task on thee, and they shall bear it with thee. Ex. 18:22
And Moses hearkened to the voice of his father-in-law, and did all that he had said. Ex. 18:24
And Moses chose able men out of all Israel, and made them heads over the people, chiefs of thousands, chiefs of hundreds, chiefs of fifties, and chiefs of tens. Ex. 18:25
And they judged the people at all times: the hard matters they brought to Moses, but every small matter they judged. Ex. 18:26
In the third month after the departure of the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt, the same day came they into the wilderness of Sinai: Ex. 19:1
they departed from Rephidim, and came into the wilderness of Sinai, and encamped in the wilderness; and Israel encamped there before the mountain. Ex. 19:2
And Moses went up to God, and Jehovah called to him out of the mountain, saying, Thus shalt thou say to the house of Jacob, and tell the children of Israel: Ex. 19:3
Ye have seen what I have done to the Egyptians, and how I have borne you on eagles' wings and brought you to myself. Ex. 19:4
And now, if ye will hearken to my voice indeed and keep my covenant, then shall ye be my own possession out of all the peoples -- for all the earth is mine -- Ex. 19:5
and ye shall be to me a kingdom of priests, and a holy nation. These are the words which thou shalt speak to the children of Israel. Ex. 19:6
And Moses came and called the elders of the people, and laid before the mall these words which Jehovah had commanded him. Ex. 19:7
And all the people answered together, and said, All that Jehovah has spoken will we do! And Moses brought the words of the people back to Jehovah. Ex. 19:8
And Jehovah said to Moses, Lo, I will come to thee in the cloud's thick darkness, that the people may hear when I speak with thee, and believe thee also for ever. And Moses told the words of the people to Jehovah. Ex. 19:9
And Jehovah said to Moses, Go to the people, and hallow them to-day and to-morrow, and let them wash their clothes; Ex. 19:10
and let them be ready for the third day; for on the third day Jehovah will come down before the eyes of all the people on mount Sinai. Ex. 19:11
And set bounds round about the people, saying, Take heed to yourselves, not to go up unto the mountain nor touch the border of it: whatever toucheth the mountain shall certainly be put to death: Ex. 19:12
not a hand shall touch it, but it shall certainly be stoned, or shot through; whether it be a beast or a man, it shall not live. When the long drawn note of the trumpet soundeth, they shall come up to the mountain. Ex. 19:13
And Moses came down from the mountain to the people, and hallowed the people; and they washed their clothes. Ex. 19:14
And he said to the people, Be ready for the third day; do not come near your wives. Ex. 19:15
And it came to pass on the third day, when it was morning, that there were thunders and lightnings and a heavy cloud on the mountain, and the sound of the trumpet exceeding loud; and the whole people that was in the camp trembled. Ex. 19:16
And Moses brought the people out of the camp to meet with God; and they stood at the foot of the mountain. Ex. 19:17
And the whole of mount Sinai smoked, because Jehovah descended on it in fire; and its smoke ascended as the smoke of a furnace; and the whole mountain shook greatly. Ex. 19:18
And the sound of the trumpet increased and became exceeding loud; Moses spoke, and God answered him by a voice. Ex. 19:19
And Jehovah came down on mount Sinai, on the top of the mountain; and Jehovah called Moses to the top of the mountain, and Moses went up. Ex. 19:20
And Jehovah said to Moses, Go down, testify to the people that they break not through to Jehovah to gaze, and many of them perish. Ex. 19:21
And the priests also, who come near to Jehovah, shall hallow themselves, lest Jehovah break forth on them. Ex. 19:22
And Moses said to Jehovah, The people cannot come up to mount Sinai; for thou hast testified to us, saying, Set bounds about the mountain, and hallow it. Ex. 19:23
And Jehovah said to him, Go, descend, and thou shalt come up, thou, and Aaron with thee; but the priests and the people shall not break through to go up to Jehovah, lest he break forth on them. Ex. 19:24
So Moses went down to the people, and told them. Ex. 19:25
I am Jehovah thy God, who have brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage. Ex. 20:2
Thou shalt not make thyself any graven image, or any form of what is in the heavens above, or what is in the earth beneath, or what is in the waters under the earth: Ex. 20:4
thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them; for I, Jehovah thy God, am a jealous *God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the sons to the third and to the fourth generation of them that hate me, Ex. 20:5
Thou shalt not idly utter the name of Jehovah thy God; for Jehovah will not hold him guiltless that idly uttereth his name. Ex. 20:7
Remember the sabbath day to hallow it. Ex. 20:8
but the seventh day is the sabbath of Jehovah thy God: thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy bondman, nor thy handmaid, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates. Ex. 20:10
For in six days Jehovah made the heavens and the earth, the sea, and all that is in them, and rested on the seventh day; therefore Jehovah blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it. Ex. 20:11
Honour thy father and thy mother, that thy days may be prolonged in the land that Jehovah thy God giveth thee. Ex. 20:12
And all the people saw the thunderings, and the flames, and the sound of the trumpet, and the mountain smoking; and when the people saw it, they trembled, and stood afar off, Ex. 20:18
And Moses said to the people, Fear not; for God is come to prove you, and that his fear may be before you, that ye sin not. Ex. 20:20
And the people stood afar off, and Moses drew near to the obscurity where God was. Ex. 20:21
And Jehovah said to Moses, Thus shalt thou say to the children of Israel: Ye have seen that I have spoken with you from the heavens. Ex. 20:22
And these are the judgments which thou shalt set before them. Ex. 21:1
If thou buy a Hebrew bondman, six years shall he serve; and in the seventh he shall go out free for nothing. Ex. 21:2
If his master have given him a wife, and she have borne him sons or daughters, the wife and her children shall be her master's, and he shall go out alone. Ex. 21:4
But if the bondman shall say distinctly, I love my master, my wife, and my children, I will not go free; Ex. 21:5
then his master shall bring him before the judges, and shall bring him to the door, or to the door-post; and his master shall bore his ear through with an awl; and he shall be his bondman for ever. Ex. 21:6
And if a man shall sell his daughter as a handmaid, she shall not go out as the bondmen go out. Ex. 21:7
If she is unacceptable in the eyes of her master, who had taken her for himself, then shall he let her be ransomed: to sell her unto a foreign people he hath no power, after having dealt unfaithfully with her. Ex. 21:8
And if he have appointed her unto his son, he shall deal with her after the law of daughters. Ex. 21:9
And if men dispute, and one strike the other with a stone, or with the fist, and he die not, but take to his bed, Ex. 21:18
-- if he rise, and walk abroad upon his staff, then shall he that struck him be guiltless; only he shall pay for the loss of his time, and shall cause him to be thoroughly healed. Ex. 21:19
And if men strive together, and strike a woman with child, so that she be delivered, and no mischief happen, he shall in any case be fined, according as the woman's husband shall impose on him, and shall give it as the judges estimate. Ex. 21:22
And if a man strike the eye of his bondman or the eye of his handmaid, and it be marred, he shall let him go for his eye. Ex. 21:26
And if an ox gore a man or a woman, so that they die, then the ox shall certainly be stoned, and its flesh shall not be eaten; but the owner of the ox shall be guiltless. Ex. 21:28
But if the ox have gored heretofore, and it have been testified to its owner, and he have not kept it in, and it kill a man or a woman, -- the ox shall be stoned, and its owner also shall be put to death. Ex. 21:29
If there be imposed on him a satisfaction, then he shall give the ransom of his life, according to what is imposed on him. Ex. 21:30
If the ox gore a bondman or a handmaid, he shall give to their master thirty shekels of silver, and the ox shall be stoned. Ex. 21:32
the owner of the pit shall make it good, shall give money to the owner of them; and the dead ox shall be his. Ex. 21:34
-- And if one man's ox gore his neighbour's ox, and it die, then they shall sell the live ox, and divide the money thereof, and divide the dead also. Ex. 21:35
Or if it be known that the ox have gored heretofore, and its owner have not kept him in, he shall in any case restore ox for ox; and the dead shall be his. Ex. 21:36
If a man steal an ox, or a sheep, and kill it, or sell it, he shall restore five oxen for the ox, and four sheep for the sheep. Ex. 22:1
If the thief be encountered breaking in, and be smitten so that he die, there shall be no blood-guiltiness for him. Ex. 22:2
If the sun be risen on him, there shall be blood-guiltiness for him; he should have made full restitution: if he had nothing, he would have been sold for his theft. Ex. 22:3
If the stolen thing be actually found alive in his hand, whether it be ox, or ass, or sheep, he shall restore double. Ex. 22:4
If a man shall cause a field or vineyard to be eaten, and put in his cattle, and pasture in another man's field, of the best of his own field, and of the best of his own vineyard shall he make it good. Ex. 22:5
-- If fire break out, and seize the thorns, and the stacks of corn, or the standing corn, or the field be consumed, he that kindled the fire shall fully make it good. Ex. 22:6
-- If a man deliver unto his neighbour money or stuff to keep, and it be stolen out of the man's house; if the thief be found, let him restore double; Ex. 22:7
if the thief be not found, the master of the house shall be brought before the judges, to see if he has not put his hand unto his neighbour's goods. Ex. 22:8
As to all manner of fraud, -- as to ox, as to ass, as to sheep, as to clothing, as to everything lost, of which a man saith, It is this -- the cause of both parties shall come before the judges: he whom the judges shall condemn shall restore double to his neighbour. Ex. 22:9

and one loaf of bread, and one cake of oiled bread, and one wafer out of the basket of the unleavened bread that is before Jehovah; Ex. 29:23
and thou shalt put all this in the hands of Aaron, and in the hands of his sons, and shalt wave them as a wave-offering before Jehovah. Ex. 29:24
And thou shalt receive them of their hand and burn them upon the altar over the burnt-offering, for a sweet odour before Jehovah: it is an offering by fire to Jehovah. Ex. 29:25
And thou shalt take the breast of the ram of consecration which is for Aaron, and wave it as a wave-offering before Jehovah; and it shall be thy part. Ex. 29:26
And thou shalt hallow the breast of the wave-offering, and the shoulder of the heave-offering, that hath been waved and heaved up, of the ram of the consecration, of that which is for Aaron, and of that which is for his sons. Ex. 29:27
And they shall be for Aaron and his sons, as an everlasting statute, on the part of the children of Israel; for it is a heave-offering; and it shall be a heave-offering on the part of the children of Israel of the sacrifices of their peace-offerings, as their heave-offering to Jehovah. Ex. 29:28
And the holy garments of Aaron shall be his sons' after him, to be anointed therein, and to be consecrated in them. Ex. 29:29
The son that is priest in his stead shall put them on seven days, when he cometh into the tent of meeting to serve in the sanctuary. Ex. 29:30
And thou shalt take the ram of the consecration, and boil its flesh in a holy place. Ex. 29:31
And Aaron and his sons shall eat the flesh of the ram, and the bread that is in the basket, at the entrance of the tent of meeting. Ex. 29:32
They shall eat the things with which the atonement was made, to consecrate and to hallow them; but a stranger shall not eat of them, for they are holy. Ex. 29:33
And if any of the flesh of the consecration, and of the bread, remain until the morning, then thou shalt burn the remainder with fire: it shall not be eaten, for it is holy. Ex. 29:34
And thou shalt offer every day a bullock as a sin-offering for atonement; and the altar shalt thou cleanse from sin, by making atonement for it, and shalt anoint it, to hallow it. Ex. 29:36
Seven days shalt thou make atonement for the altar and hallow it; and the altar shall be most holy: whatever toucheth the altar shall be holy. Ex. 29:37
And this is what thou shalt offer upon the altar -- two lambs of the first year, day by day continually. Ex. 29:38
The one lamb thou shalt offer in the morning; and the other lamb thou shalt offer between the two evenings. Ex. 29:39
And with the one lamb a tenth part of wheaten flour mingled with beaten oil, a fourth part of a hin; and a drink-offering, a fourth part of a hin of wine. Ex. 29:40
And the second lamb shalt thou offer between the two evenings; as the oblation in the morning, and as its drink-offering shalt thou offer with this, for a sweet odour, an offering by fire to Jehovah. Ex. 29:41
It shall be a continual burnt-offering throughout your generations at the entrance of the tent of meeting before Jehovah, where I will meet with you, to speak there with thee. Ex. 29:42
And there will I meet with the children of Israel; and it shall be hallowed by my glory. Ex. 29:43
And I will hallow the tent of meeting, and the altar; and I will hallow Aaron and his sons, that they may serve me as priests. Ex. 29:44
And I will dwell in the midst of the children of Israel, and will be their God. Ex. 29:45
And they shall know that I am Jehovah their God, who have brought them forth out of the land of Egypt, to dwell in their midst: I am Jehovah their God. Ex. 29:46
And thou shalt make an altar for the burning of incense: of acacia-wood shalt thou make it; Ex. 30:1
a cubit the length thereof, and a cubit the breadth thereof -- square shall it be; and two cubits its height; of itself shall be its horns. Ex. 30:2
And thou shalt overlay it with pure gold, the top thereof, and the sides thereof round about, and the horns thereof; and thou shalt make upon it a border of gold round about. Ex. 30:3
And two rings of gold shalt thou make for it under its border; by its two corners shalt thou make them, on the two sides thereof; and they shall be for receptacles for the staves, with which to carry it. Ex. 30:4
And thou shalt make the staves of acacia-wood, and overlay them with gold. Ex. 30:5
And thou shalt put it in front of the veil which is before the ark of the testimony in front of the mercy-seat which is over the testimony, where I will meet with thee. Ex. 30:6
And Aaron shall burn thereon fragrant incense: every morning, when he dresseth the lamps, he shall burn the incense. Ex. 30:7
And when Aaron lighteth the lamps between the two evenings, he shall burn the incense -- a continual incense before Jehovah throughout your generations. Ex. 30:8
And Aaron shall make atonement for its horns once in the year: with the blood of the sin-offering of atonement shall he make atonement for it, once in the year, throughout your generations: it is most holy to Jehovah. Ex. 30:10
When thou shalt take the sum of the children of Israel according to those of them that are numbered, then shall they give every man a ransom for his soul to Jehovah on their being numbered, that there be no plague among them on their being numbered. Ex. 30:12
This shall they give -- every one that passeth among them that are numbered -- half a shekel after the shekel of the sanctuary, -- twenty gerahs the shekel; a half shekel shall be the heave-offering for Jehovah. Ex. 30:13
Every one that passeth among those that are numbered, from twenty years old and above, shall give the heave-offering of Jehovah. Ex. 30:14
The rich shall not give more, and the poor shall not give less than half a shekel, when ye give the heave-offering of Jehovah, to make atonement for your souls. Ex. 30:15
And thou shalt take the atonement-money of the children of Israel, and devote it to the service of the tent of meeting; and it shall be a memorial to the children of Israel before Jehovah, to make atonement for your souls. Ex. 30:16
Thou shalt also make a laver of copper, and its stand of copper, for washing; and thou shalt put it between the tent of meeting and the altar, and shalt put water in it. Ex. 30:18
When they go into the tent of meeting, they shall wash with water, that they may not die; or when they come near to the altar to serve, to burn an offering by fire to Jehovah. Ex. 30:20
And thou, take best spices -- of liquid myrrh five hundred shekels, and of sweet cinnamon the half -- two hundred and fifty, and of sweet myrtle two hundred and fifty, Ex. 30:23
and of cassia five hundred, after the shekel of the sanctuary, and of olive oil a hin; Ex. 30:24
and make of it an oil of holy ointment, a perfume of perfumery after the work of the perfumer: it shall be the holy anointing oil. Ex. 30:25
And thou shalt anoint the tent of meeting with it, and the ark of the testimony, Ex. 30:26
and the table and all its utensils, and the lamp-stand and its utensils, and the altar of incense, Ex. 30:27
and the altar of burnt-offering and all its utensils, and the laver and its stand. Ex. 30:28
And thou shalt speak to the children of Israel, saying, A holy anointing oil shall this be unto me throughout your generations. Ex. 30:31
Upon man's flesh shall it not be poured, neither shall ye make any like it, after the preparation of it: it is holy -- holy shall it be unto you. Ex. 30:32
And thou shalt make it into incense, a perfume, after the work of the perfumer, salted, pure, holy. Ex. 30:35
And thou shalt beat some of it to powder, and put some of it before the testimony in the tent of meeting, where I will meet with thee: it shall be unto you most holy. Ex. 30:36
And the incense that thou shalt make, ye shall not make for yourselves according to the proportions of it; it shall be unto thee holy to Jehovah. Ex. 30:37
See, I have called by name Bezaleel the son of Uri, the son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah, Ex. 31:2
and have filled him with the spirit of God, in wisdom, and in understanding, and in knowledge, and in every work, Ex. 31:3
And I, behold, I have given with him Aholiab the son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan; and in the heart of every one that is wise-hearted have I given wisdom, that they may make all that I have commanded thee -- Ex. 31:6
the tent of meeting and the ark of the testimony, and the mercy-seat that is thereupon, and all the utensils of the tent, Ex. 31:7
and the table and its utensils, and the pure lamp-stand and all its utensils, and the altar of incense; Ex. 31:8
and the altar of burnt-offering and all its utensils, and the laver and its stand; Ex. 31:9
and the garments of service, both the holy garments of Aaron the priest, and the garments of his sons, to serve as priests; Ex. 31:10
and the anointing oil, and the incense of fragrant drugs for the sanctuary: according to all that I have commanded thee shall they do. Ex. 31:11
And thou, speak thou unto the children of Israel, saying, Surely my sabbaths shall ye keep; for this is a sign between me and you throughout your generations, that ye may know that it is I, Jehovah, who do hallow you. Ex. 31:13
Keep the sabbath, therefore; for it is holy unto you; every one that profaneth it shall certainly be put to death: yea, whoever doeth work on it, that soul shall be cut off from among his peoples. Ex. 31:14
Six days shall work be done; but on the seventh day is the sabbath of rest, holy to Jehovah: whoever doeth work on the sabbath day shall certainly be put to death. Ex. 31:15
And the children of Israel shall keep the sabbath, to observe the sabbath throughout their generations -- it is an everlasting covenant. Ex. 31:16
It shall be a sign between me and the children of Israel for ever; for in six days Jehovah made the heavens and the earth, and on the seventh day he rested, and was refreshed. Ex. 31:17
And he gave to Moses, when he had ended speaking with him on mount Sinai, the two tables of testimony, tables of stone, written with the finger of God. Ex. 31:18
And when the people saw that Moses delayed to come down from the mountain, the people collected together to Aaron, and said to him, Up, make us a god, who will go before us; for this Moses, the man that has brought us up out of the land of Egypt, -- we do not know what is become of him! Ex. 32:1
And Aaron said to them, Break off the golden rings that are in the ears of your wives, of your sons, and of your daughters, and bring them to me. Ex. 32:2
Then all the people broke off the golden rings that were in their ears, and brought them to Aaron. Ex. 32:3
And he took them out of their hand, and fashioned it with a chisel and made of it a molten calf: and they said, This is thy god, Israel, who has brought thee up out of the land of Egypt! Ex. 32:4
And they rose up early on the morrow, and offered up burnt-offerings, and brought peace-offerings; and the people sat down to eat and to drink, and rose up to sport. Ex. 32:6
Then Jehovah said to Moses, Away, go down! for thy people, which thou hast brought out of the land of Egypt, is acting corruptly. Ex. 32:7
They have turned aside quickly out of the way that I commanded them: they have made themselves a molten calf, and have bowed down to it, and have sacrificed thereunto, and said, This is thy god, Israel, who has brought thee up out of the land of Egypt! Ex. 32:8
And Moses besought Jehovah his God, and said, Why, Jehovah, doth thy wrath burn against thy people, which thou hast brought forth out of the land of Egypt with great power and with a strong hand? Ex. 32:11
Why should the Egyptians speak, and say, For misfortune he has brought them out, to slay them on the mountains, and to annihilate them from the face of the earth? Turn from the heat of thine anger, and repent of this evil against thy people! Ex. 32:12
Remember Abraham, Isaac and Israel, thy servants, to whom thou sworest by thyself, and saidst to them, I will multiply your seed as the stars of heaven, and all this land that I have spoken of will I give to your seed, and they shall possess it for ever! Ex. 32:13
And Jehovah repented of the evil that he had said he would do to his people. Ex. 32:14
And Moses turned and went down from the mountain, with the two tables of the testimony in his hand -- tables written on both their sides: on this side and on that were they written. Ex. 32:15
And the tables were God's work, and the writing was God's writing, engraven on the tables. Ex. 32:16
And Joshua heard the noise of the people as they shouted, and said to Moses, There is a shout of war in the camp. Ex. 32:17
And he said, It is not the sound of a shout of victory, neither is it the sound of a shout of defeat: it is the noise of alternate singing I hear. Ex. 32:18
And it came to pass, when he came near the camp, and saw the calf and the dancing, that Moses' anger burned, and he cast the tables out of his hands, and shattered them beneath the mountain. Ex. 32:19
And he took the calf that they had made, and burned it with fire, and ground it to powder, and strewed it on the water, and made the children of Israel drink it. Ex. 32:20
And Aaron said, Let not the anger of my lord burn! thou knowest the people, that they are set on mischief. Ex. 32:22
And they said to me, Make us a god, who will go before us; for this Moses, the man that has brought us up out of the land of Egypt, we do not know what is become of him! Ex. 32:23
And I said to them, Who has gold? They broke it off, and gave it me, and I cast it into the fire, and there came out this calf. Ex. 32:24
And Moses saw the people how they were stripped; for Aaron had stripped them to their shame before their adversaries. Ex. 32:25
And Moses stood in the gate of the camp, and said, He that is for Jehovah, let him come to me. And all the sons of Levi gathered to him. Ex. 32:26
And he said to them, Thus saith Jehovah, the God of Israel: Put every man his sword upon his hip; go and return from gate to gate through the camp, and slay every man his brother, and every man his friend, and every man his neighbour. Ex. 32:27
And the sons of Levi did according to the word of Moses; and there fell of the people that day about three thousand men. Ex. 32:28
And it came to pass the next day, that Moses said to the people, Ye have sinned a great sin. And now I will go up to Jehovah: perhaps I shall make atonement for your sin. Ex. 32:30
And now go, lead the people whither I have told thee: behold, my Angel shall go before thee; but in the day of my visiting I will visit their sin upon them. Ex. 32:34
And Jehovah smote the people, because they made the calf, which Aaron had made. Ex. 32:35
And Jehovah said to Moses, Depart, go up hence, thou and the people that thou hast brought up out of the land of Egypt, into the land that I swore unto Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, saying, Unto thy seed will I give it, Ex. 33:1
(and I will send an angel before thee, and dispossess the Canaanite, the Amorite, and the Hittite, and the Perizzite, the Hivite, and the Jebusite,) Ex. 33:2
into a land flowing with milk and honey; for I will not go up in the midst of thee, for thou art a stiff-necked people, -- lest I consume thee on the way. Ex. 33:3
And when the people heard this evil word, they mourned; and no man put on his ornaments. Ex. 33:4
Now Jehovah had said to Moses, Say unto the children of Israel, Ye are a stiff-necked people: in one moment I will come up into the midst of thee and will consume thee. And now put off thine ornaments from thee, and I will know what I will do unto thee. Ex. 33:5
And the children of Israel stripped themselves of their ornaments at mount Horeb. Ex. 33:6
And Moses took the tent, and pitched it outside the camp, far from the camp, and called it the Tent of meeting. And it came to pass that every one who sought Jehovah went out to the tent of meeting which was outside the camp. Ex. 33:7
And it came to pass, when Moses went out to the tent, all the people rose up, and stood every man at the entrance of his tent, and they looked after Moses until he entered into the tent. Ex. 33:8
And it came to pass when Moses entered into the tent, the pillar of cloud descended, and stood at the entrance of the tent, and Jehovah talked with Moses. Ex. 33:9
And all the people saw the pillar of cloud standing at the entrance of the tent; and all the people rose and worshipped, every man at the entrance of his tent. Ex. 33:10
And Jehovah spoke with Moses face to face, as a man speaks with his friend. And he returned to the camp; but his attendant, Joshua the son of Nun, a young man, departed not from within the tent. Ex. 33:11
And how shall it be known then that I have found grace in thine eyes -- I and thy people? Is it not by thy going with us? so shall we be distinguished, I and thy people, from every people that is on the face of the earth. Ex. 33:16
And he said, I will make all my goodness pass before thy face, and I will proclaim the name of Jehovah before thee; and I will be gracious to whom I will be gracious, and I will shew mercy on whom I will shew mercy. Ex. 33:19
And Jehovah said, Behold, there is a place by me: there shalt thou stand on the rock. Ex. 33:21
And it shall come to pass, when my glory passeth by, that I will put thee in a cleft of the rock, and will cover thee with my hand, until I have passed by. Ex. 33:22
And Jehovah said to Moses, Hew for thyself two tables of stone like the first; and I will write upon the tables the words that were upon the first tables, which thou hast broken. Ex. 34:1
And be ready for the morning, and go up in the morning to mount Sinai, and stand there before me on the top of the mountain. Ex. 34:2
And let no man go up with thee, neither shall any man be seen on all the mountain; neither shall sheep and oxen feed in front of that mountain. Ex. 34:3
And he hewed two tables of stone like the first; and Moses rose up early in the morning and went up to mount Sinai, as Jehovah had commanded him, and took in his hand the two tables of stone. Ex. 34:4
And Jehovah came down in the cloud, and stood beside him there, and proclaimed the name of Jehovah. Ex. 34:5
keeping mercy unto thousands, forgiving iniquity and transgression and sin, but by no means clearing the guilty; visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children, and upon the children's children, upon the third and upon the fourth generation. Ex. 34:7
And Moses made haste, and bowed his head to the earth and worshipped, Ex. 34:8
and said, If indeed I have found grace in thine eyes, Lord, let the Lord, I pray thee, go in our midst; for it is a stiff-necked people; and pardon our iniquity and our sin, and take us for an inheritance! Ex. 34:9
And he said, Behold, I make a covenant: before all thy people I will do marvels that have not been done in all the earth, nor in any nation; and all the people in the midst of which thou art shall see the work of Jehovah; for a terrible thing it shall be that I will do with thee. Ex. 34:10
Observe what I command thee this day: behold, I will drive out before thee the Amorite, and the Canaanite, and the Hittite, and the Perizzite, and the Hivite, and the Jebusite. Ex. 34:11
Take heed to thyself, that thou make no covenant with the inhabitants of the land to which thou shalt come, lest it be a snare in the midst of thee; Ex. 34:12
lest thou make a covenant with the inhabitants of the land, and then, when they go a whoring after their gods, and sacrifice unto their gods, thou be invited, and eat of their sacrifice, Ex. 34:15
-- The feast of the unleavened bread shalt thou keep: seven days shalt thou eat unleavened bread, as I have commanded thee, at the appointed time of the month Abib; for in the month Abib thou camest out from Egypt. Ex. 34:18
-- All that openeth the womb is mine; and all the cattle that is born a male, the firstling of ox and sheep. Ex. 34:19
But the firstling of an ass thou shalt ransom with a lamb; and if thou ransom it not, then shalt thou break its neck. All the first-born of thy sons thou shalt ransom; and none shall appear before me empty. Ex. 34:20
-- Six days shalt thou work, but on the seventh day thou shalt rest; in ploughing time and in harvest thou shalt rest. Ex. 34:21
-- And thou shalt observe the feast of weeks, of the first-fruits of wheat-harvest, and the feast of ingathering at the turn of the year. Ex. 34:22
Thrice in the year shall all thy males appear before the Lord Jehovah, the God of Israel. Ex. 34:23
For I will dispossess the nations before thee, and enlarge thy border, and no man shall desire thy land, when thou goest up to appear before the face of Jehovah thy God thrice in the year. Ex. 34:24
-- Thou shalt not offer the blood of my sacrifice with leaven; neither shall the sacrifice of the feast of the passover be left over night until the morning. Ex. 34:25
-- The first of the first-fruits of thy land shalt thou bring into the house of Jehovah thy God. Thou shalt not boil a kid in its mother's milk. Ex. 34:26
And Jehovah said to Moses, Write thee these words; for after the tenor of these words have I made a covenant with thee and with Israel. Ex. 34:27
-- And he was there with Jehovah forty days and forty nights; he ate no bread, and drank no water. -- And he wrote on the tables the words of the covenant, the ten words. Ex. 34:28
And it came to pass, when Moses came down from mount Sinai -- and the two tables of testimony were in Moses' hand, when he came down from the mountain -- that Moses knew not that the skin of his face shone through his talking with him. Ex. 34:29
And Aaron and all the children of Israel saw Moses, and behold, the skin of his face shone; and they were afraid to come near him. Ex. 34:30
And Moses called to them; and they turned to him, -- Aaron and all the principal men of the assembly; and Moses talked with them. Ex. 34:31
And afterwards, all the children of Israel came near; and he gave them in commandment all that Jehovah had spoken with him on mount Sinai. Ex. 34:32
And when Moses went in before Jehovah to speak with him, he took the veil off, until he came out; and he came out, and spoke to the children of Israel what he was commanded. Ex. 34:34
And the children of Israel saw the face of Moses, that the skin of Moses' face shone; and Moses put the veil on his face again, until he went in to speak with him. Ex. 34:35
And Moses collected all the assembly of the children of Israel, and said to them, These are the things which Jehovah has commanded, to do them. Ex. 35:1
Six days shall work be done, but on the seventh day there shall be to you a holy day, a sabbath of rest to Jehovah: whoever does work on it shall be put to death. Ex. 35:2
Ye shall kindle no fire throughout your dwellings upon the sabbath day. Ex. 35:3
And Moses spoke to all the assembly of the children of Israel, saying, This is the word which Jehovah has commanded, saying, Ex. 35:4
and oil for the light, and spices for the anointing oil, and for the incense of fragrant drugs; Ex. 35:8
and onyx stones, and stones to be set for the ephod, and for the breastplate. Ex. 35:9
the tabernacle, its tent, and its covering, its clasps, and its boards, its bars, its pillars, and its bases; Ex. 35:11
the ark, and its staves; the mercy-seat, and the veil of separation; Ex. 35:12
the table and its staves, and all its utensils, and the shewbread; Ex. 35:13
and the lamp-stand for the light, and its utensils, and its lamps, and the oil for the light; Ex. 35:14
and the altar of incense, and its staves; and the anointing-oil, and the incense of fragrant drugs; and the entrance-curtain at the entrance of the tabernacle; Ex. 35:15
the altar of burnt-offering, and the copper grating for it, its staves, and all its utensils; the laver and its stand; Ex. 35:16
the hangings of the court, its pillars, and its bases, and the curtains of the gate of the court; Ex. 35:17
the pegs of the tabernacle, and the pegs of the court, and their cords; Ex. 35:18
the garments of service, to do service in the sanctuary, the holy garments for Aaron the priest, and the garments of his sons, to serve as priests. Ex. 35:19
And all the assembly of the children of Israel departed from before Moses. Ex. 35:20
And they came, every one whose heart moved him, and every one whose spirit prompted him; they brought Jehovah's heave-offering for the work of the tent of meeting, and for all its service, and for the holy garments. Ex. 35:21
All they that offered a heave-offering of silver and copper brought Jehovah's heave-offering. And every one with whom was found acacia-wood for all manner of work of the service, brought it. Ex. 35:24
And every woman that was wise-hearted spun with her hands, and brought what she had spun: the blue, and the purple, and the scarlet, and the byssus. Ex. 35:25
And all the women whose heart moved them in wisdom spun goats' hair. Ex. 35:26
And the principal men brought the onyx stones, and the stones to be set, for the ephod, and for the breastplate; Ex. 35:27
and the spice, and the oil for the light, and for the anointing oil, and for the incense of fragrant drugs. Ex. 35:28
The children of Israel brought a voluntary offering to Jehovah, every man and woman whose heart prompted them to bring for all manner of work, which Jehovah, by the hand of Moses, had commanded to be done. Ex. 35:29
And Moses said to the children of Israel, See, Jehovah has called by name Bezaleel the son of Uri, the son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah, Ex. 35:30
and he has filled him with the spirit of God, in wisdom, in understanding, and in knowledge, and in all manner of workmanship, Ex. 35:31
and he has put in his heart to teach, he and Aholiab, the son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan: Ex. 35:34
he has filled them with wisdom of heart, to work all manner of work of the engraver, and of the artificer, and of the embroiderer, in blue, and in purple, in scarlet, and in byssus, and of the weaver, even of them that do every kind of work, and of those that devise artistic work Ex. 35:35
Then wrought Bezaleel and Aholiab, and every man that was wise-hearted, in whom Jehovah had put wisdom and understanding to know how to work all manner of work of the service of the sanctuary -- according to all that Jehovah had commanded. Ex. 36:1
And Moses called Bezaleel and Aholiab, and every man that was wise-hearted, in whose heart God had put wisdom, every one whose heart moved him to come to the work to do it. Ex. 36:2
And they took from Moses every heave-offering that the children of Israel had brought for the work of the service of the sanctuary, to make it. And they still brought him voluntary offerings morning by morning. Ex. 36:3
And all the wise men that wrought all the work of the sanctuary came, every man from his work which they wrought, Ex. 36:4
and spoke to Moses, saying, The people bring much more than enough for the service of the work that Jehovah commanded to be done. Ex. 36:5
Then Moses gave commandment, and they caused it to be proclaimed through the camp, saying, Let neither man nor woman make any more work for the heave-offering of the sanctuary! So the people were restrained from bringing; Ex. 36:6
for the work they had was sufficient for all the work to do it, and it was too much. Ex. 36:7
And every wise-hearted man among those that wrought the work of the tabernacle made ten curtains of twined byssus, and blue, and purple, and scarlet: with cherubim of artistic work did he make them. Ex. 36:8
The length of one curtain was twenty-eight cubits, and the breadth of one curtain four cubits -- one measure for all the curtains. Ex. 36:9
And he coupled five of the curtains one to another, and the other five curtains coupled he one to another. Ex. 36:10
And he made loops of blue on the edge of one curtain at the edge of the coupling; he did likewise in the edge of the outermost curtain in the other coupling. Ex. 36:11
He made fifty loops in one curtain, and he made fifty loops at the end of the curtain that was in the other coupling: the loops were opposite to one another. Ex. 36:12
And he made fifty clasps of gold, and coupled the curtains together with the clasps, so that the tabernacle became one. Ex. 36:13
And he made curtains of goats' hair for the tent over the tabernacle: eleven curtains did he make them. Ex. 36:14
The length of one curtain was thirty cubits, and four cubits the breadth of one curtain -- one measure for the eleven curtains. Ex. 36:15
And he coupled five of the curtains by themselves, and six of the curtains by themselves. Ex. 36:16
And he made fifty loops on the edge of the outermost curtain in the coupling, and fifty loops made he on the edge of the curtain in the other coupling. Ex. 36:17
And he made fifty clasps of copper to couple the tent, that it might be one. Ex. 36:18
And he made a covering for the tent of rams' skins dyed red, and a covering of badgers' skins above that. Ex. 36:19
And he made the boards for the tabernacle of acacia-wood, standing up; Ex. 36:20
ten cubits the length of the boards, and one cubit and a half the breadth of one board; Ex. 36:21
two tenons in one board, connected one with the other: thus did he make for all the boards of the tabernacle. Ex. 36:22

These are the things numbered of the tabernacle, the tabernacle of the testimony, which were counted, according to the commandment of Moses, by the service of the Levites, under the hand of Ithamar, son of Aaron the priest. Ex. 38:21
And Bezaleel the son of Uri, the son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah, made all that Jehovah had commanded Moses; Ex. 38:22
and with him Aholiab, son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan, an engraver and artificer, and an embroiderer in blue, and in purple, and in scarlet, and in byssus. Ex. 38:23
All the gold that it took for the work in all the work of the sanctuary -- the gold of the wave-offering, was twenty-nine talents, and seven hundred and thirty shekels, according to the shekel of the sanctuary. Ex. 38:24
And the silver of them that were numbered of the assembly was a hundred talents, and a thousand seven hundred and seventy-five shekels, according to the shekel of the sanctuary: Ex. 38:25

And the copper of the wave-offering was seventy talents, and two thousand four hundred shekels. Ex. 38:29
And he made with it the bases for the entrance of the tent of meeting, and the copper altar, and the copper grating for it, and all the utensils of the altar. Ex. 38:30
And the bases of the court round about, and the bases of the gate of the court, and all the pegs of the tabernacle, and all the pegs of the court round about. Ex. 38:31

And he made the ephod of gold, blue, and purple, and scarlet, and twined byssus. Ex. 39:2
And they beat the gold into thin plates, and cut it into wires, to work it artistically into the blue, and into the purple, and into the scarlet, and into the byssus. Ex. 39:3
And the girdle of his ephod, which was on it, was of the same, according to its work, of gold, blue, and purple, and scarlet, and twined byssus; as Jehovah had commanded Moses. Ex. 39:5
And they wrought the onyx stones mounted in enclosures of gold, engraved with the engravings of a seal, according to the names of the sons of Israel. Ex. 39:6
And he put them on the shoulder-pieces of the ephod, as stones of memorial for the children of Israel; as Jehovah had commanded Moses. Ex. 39:7
And he made the breastplate of artistic work, like the work of the ephod, of gold, blue, and purple, and scarlet, and twined byssus. Ex. 39:8
It was square; double did they make the breastplate, a span the length thereof, and a span the breadth thereof, doubled. Ex. 39:9
And they set in it four rows of stones: one row, a sardoin, a topaz, and an emerald -- the first row; Ex. 39:10
and the second row, a carbuncle, a sapphire, and a diamond; Ex. 39:11
and the third row, an opal, an agate, and an amethyst; Ex. 39:12
and the fourth row, a chrysolite, an onyx, and a jasper; mounted in enclosures of gold in their settings. Ex. 39:13
And the stones were according to the names of the children of Israel, twelve, according to their names, engraved as a seal, every one according to his name, for the twelve tribes. Ex. 39:14
And they made on the breastplate chains of laced work of wreathen work, of pure gold. Ex. 39:15
And they made two settings of gold, and two gold rings, and put the two rings on the two ends of the breastplate. Ex. 39:16
And they put the two wreathen cords of gold in the two rings on the ends of the breastplate; Ex. 39:17
and the two ends of the two wreathen cords they fastened to the two settings, and put them on the shoulder-pieces of the ephod, on the front thereof. Ex. 39:18
And they made two rings of gold, and put them on the two ends of the breastplate, on the border thereof, which faceth the ephod inwards. Ex. 39:19
And they made two rings of gold, and put them upon the two shoulder-pieces of the ephod underneath, to the front thereof, just by the coupling thereof, above the girdle of the ephod. Ex. 39:20
And they bound the breastplate with its rings to the rings of the ephod with lace of blue, that it might be above the girdle of the ephod, and that the breastplate might not be loosed from the ephod; as Jehovah had commanded Moses. Ex. 39:21
And he made the cloak of the ephod of woven work, all of blue; Ex. 39:22
and the opening of the cloak in its middle, as the opening of a coat of mail; a binding was round about the opening, that it should not rend. Ex. 39:23
And they made on the skirts of the cloak pomegranates of blue and purple and scarlet, twined. Ex. 39:24
And they made bells of pure gold, and put the bells between the pomegranates, in the skirts of the cloak, round about, between the pomegranates: Ex. 39:25
a bell and a pomegranate, a bell and a pomegranate, in the skirts of the cloak round about, for service; as Jehovah had commanded Moses. Ex. 39:26
And they made the vests of byssus of woven work, for Aaron, and for his sons; Ex. 39:27
and the turban of byssus; and the ornamental caps, of byssus; and the linen trousers, of twined byssus; Ex. 39:28
and the girdle, of twined byssus, and blue, and purple, and scarlet, of embroidery; as Jehovah had commanded Moses. Ex. 39:29

And they fastened to it a lace of blue, to fasten it on the turban above; as Jehovah had commanded Moses. Ex. 39:31
And all the labour of the tabernacle of the tent of meeting was ended; and the children of Israel had done it according to all that Jehovah had commanded Moses -- so had they done it. Ex. 39:32
And they brought the tabernacle to Moses -- the tent, and all its utensils, its clasps, its boards, its bars, and its pillars, and its bases; Ex. 39:33
and the covering of rams' skins dyed red, and the covering of badgers' skins, and the veil of separation; Ex. 39:34
the ark of the testimony, and its staves, and the mercy-seat; Ex. 39:35
the table, all its utensils, and the shewbread; Ex. 39:36
the pure candlestick, its lamps, the lamps set in order, and all its utensils, and the oil for the light; Ex. 39:37
and the golden altar, and the anointing oil, and the incense of fragrant drugs; and the curtain for the entrance of the tent; Ex. 39:38
the copper altar, and the copper grating that was for it, its staves and all its utensils; the laver and its stand; Ex. 39:39
the hangings of the court, its pillars, and its bases; and the curtain for the gate of the court, its cords, and its pegs; and all the vessel's of service of the tabernacle, for the tent of meeting; Ex. 39:40
the garments of service, for service in the sanctuary; the holy garments for Aaron the priest, and his sons' garments, to serve as priests. Ex. 39:41
According to all that Jehovah had commanded Moses, so had the children of Israel done all the labour. Ex. 39:42
And Moses saw all the work, and behold, they had done it as Jehovah had commanded -- so had they done it; and Moses blessed them. Ex. 39:43
On the day of the first month, on the first of the month, shalt thou set up the tabernacle of the tent of meeting. Ex. 40:2
And thou shalt put in it the ark of the testimony, and shalt cover the ark with the veil. Ex. 40:3
And thou shalt bring in the table, and set in order the things that are to be set in order upon it. And thou shalt bring in the candlestick and light its lamps. Ex. 40:4
And thou shalt set the golden altar for the incense before the ark of the testimony; and hang up the curtain of the entrance to the tabernacle. Ex. 40:5
And thou shalt set the altar of burnt-offering before the entrance of the tabernacle of the tent of meeting. Ex. 40:6
And thou shalt set the laver between the tent of meeting and the altar, and shalt put water in it. Ex. 40:7
And thou shalt fix the court round about, and hang up the curtain at the gate of the court. Ex. 40:8
And thou shalt take the anointing oil, and anoint the tabernacle, and all that is in it, and shalt hallow it, and all its utensils; and it shall be holy. Ex. 40:9
And thou shalt anoint the altar of burnt-offering, and all its utensils; and thou shalt hallow the altar, and the altar shall be most holy. Ex. 40:10

And thou shalt bring Aaron and his sons near, at the entrance of the tent of meeting, and bathe them with water. Ex. 40:12
And thou shalt clothe Aaron with the holy garments, and anoint him, and hallow him, that he may serve me as priest. Ex. 40:13
And it came to pass in the first month in the second year, on the first of the month, that the tabernacle was set up. Ex. 40:17
And Moses set up the tabernacle, and put in its bases, and fixed its boards, and put in its bars, and set up its pillars. Ex. 40:18
And he spread the tent over the tabernacle, and put the covering of the tent above over it; as Jehovah had commanded Moses. Ex. 40:19
And he took and put the testimony into the ark, and put the staves in the ark, and put the mercy-seat above on the ark. Ex. 40:20
And he brought the ark into the tabernacle, and hung up the veil of separation, and covered the ark of the testimony; as Jehovah had commanded Moses. Ex. 40:21
And he put the table in the tent of meeting, on the side of the tabernacle northward, outside the veil, Ex. 40:22
and arranged the bread in order upon it before Jehovah; as Jehovah had commanded Moses. Ex. 40:23
And he put the candlestick in the tent of meeting, opposite to the table, on the side of the tabernacle southward. Ex. 40:24
And he lighted the lamps before Jehovah; as Jehovah had commanded Moses. Ex. 40:25
And he put the golden altar in the tent of meeting before the veil. Ex. 40:26
And he hung up the curtain of the entrance to the tabernacle. Ex. 40:28
And he put the altar of burnt-offering at the entrance to the tabernacle of the tent of meeting, and offered on it the burnt-offering and the oblation; as Jehovah had commanded Moses. Ex. 40:29
And he set the laver between the tent of meeting and the altar, and put water in it for washing. Ex. 40:30
when they went into the tent of meeting, and when they drew near to the altar, they washed; as Jehovah had commanded Moses. Ex. 40:32
And he set up the court round about the tabernacle and the altar, and hung up the curtain of the gate of the court. And so Moses finished the work. Ex. 40:33
And the cloud covered the tent of meeting, and the glory of Jehovah filled the tabernacle. Ex. 40:34
And Moses could not enter into the tent of meeting, for the cloud abode on it, and the glory of Jehovah filled the tabernacle. Ex. 40:35
And when the cloud was taken up from over the tabernacle, the children of Israel journeyed in all their journeys. Ex. 40:36
And if the cloud were not taken up, then they did not journey until the day that it was taken up. Ex. 40:37
For the cloud of Jehovah was on the tabernacle by day, and fire was in it by night, before the eyes of all the house of Israel, throughout all their journeys. Ex. 40:38
And Jehovah called to Moses and spoke to him out of the tent of meeting, saying, Lev. 1:1
Speak unto the children of Israel and say unto them, When any man of you presenteth an offering to Jehovah, ye shall present your offering of the cattle, of the herd and of the flock. Lev. 1:2
If his offering be a burnt-offering of the herd, he shall present it a male without blemish: at the entrance of the tent of meeting shall he present it, for his acceptance before Jehovah. Lev. 1:3
And he shall lay his hand on the head of the burnt-offering; and it shall be accepted for him to make atonement for him. Lev. 1:4
And he shall slaughter the bullock before Jehovah; and Aaron's sons, the priests, shall present the blood and sprinkle the blood round about on the altar that is at the entrance of the tent of meeting. Lev. 1:5

And the sons of Aaron the priest shall put fire on the altar, and lay wood in order on the fire; Lev. 1:7
and Aaron's sons, the priests, shall lay the pieces, the head, and the fat, in order on the wood that is on the fire which is on the altar; Lev. 1:8

And the priest shall bring it near to the altar and pinch off its head and burn it on the altar; and its blood shall be pressed out at the side of the altar. Lev. 1:15
And he shall remove its crop with its feathers, and cast it beside the altar on the east, into the place of the ashes; Lev. 1:16
and he shall split it open at its wings, but shall not divide it asunder; and the priest shall burn it on the altar on the wood that is on the fire: it is a burnt-offering, an offering by fire to Jehovah of a sweet odour. Lev. 1:17
And he shall bring it to Aaron's sons, the priests; and he shall take thereout his handful of the flour thereof, and of the oil thereof, with all the frankincense thereof; and the priest shall burn the memorial thereof on the altar, an offering by fire to Jehovah of a sweet odour. Lev. 2:2
And the remainder of the oblation shall be Aaron's and his sons': it is most holy of Jehovah's offerings by fire. Lev. 2:3
And if thou present an offering of an oblation baken in the oven, it shall be unleavened cakes of fine flour mingled with oil, or unleavened wafers anointed with oil. Lev. 2:4
And if thine offering be an oblation baken on the pan, it shall be fine flour unleavened, mingled with oil. Lev. 2:5
And if thine offering be an oblation prepared in the cauldron, it shall be made of fine flour with oil. Lev. 2:7
And thou shalt bring the oblation that is made of these things to Jehovah; and it shall be presented to the priest, and he shall bring it to the altar. Lev. 2:8
And the priest shall take from the oblation a memorial thereof, and shall burn it on the altar, an offering by fire to Jehovah of a sweet odour. Lev. 2:9
And the remainder of the oblation shall be Aaron's and his sons': it is most holy of Jehovah's offerings by fire. Lev. 2:10
As to the offering of the first-fruits, ye shall present them to Jehovah; but they shall not be offered upon the altar for a sweet odour. Lev. 2:12
And every offering of thine oblation shalt thou season with salt; neither shalt thou suffer the salt of the covenant of thy God to be lacking from thine oblation: with all thine offerings thou shalt offer salt. Lev. 2:13
And if thou present an oblation of thy first-fruits to Jehovah, thou shalt present as the oblation of thy first-fruits green ears of corn roasted in fire, corn beaten out of full ears. Lev. 2:14
And the priest shall burn the memorial thereof, part of the beaten corn thereof, and part of the oil thereof, with all the frankincense thereof: it is an offering by fire to Jehovah. Lev. 2:16
And if his offering be a sacrifice of peace-offering, -- if he present it of the herd, whether a male or female, he shall present it without blemish before Jehovah. Lev. 3:1
And he shall lay his hand on the head of his offering, and slaughter it at the entrance of the tent of meeting; and Aaron's sons, the priests, shall sprinkle the blood on the altar round about. Lev. 3:2
And he shall present of the sacrifice of peace-offering an offering by fire to Jehovah; the fat that covereth the inwards, and all the fat that is on the inwards, Lev. 3:3
and the two kidneys, and the fat that is on them, which is by the flanks, and the net above the liver which he shall take away as far as the kidneys; Lev. 3:4
and Aaron's sons shall burn it on the altar upon the burnt-offering which lieth on the wood that is upon the fire: it is an offering by fire to Jehovah of a sweet odour. Lev. 3:5

and the priest shall burn them on the altar: it is the food of the offering by fire for a sweet odour. All the fat shall be Jehovah's. Lev. 3:16
Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, If a soul shall sin through inadvertence against any of the commandments of Jehovah in things that ought not to be done, and do any of them; Lev. 4:2
if the priest that is anointed sin according to the trespass of the people; then for his sin which he hath sinned shall he present a young bullock without blemish to Jehovah for a sin-offering. Lev. 4:3
And he shall bring the bullock to the entrance of the tent of meeting before Jehovah; and shall lay his hand on the bullock's head, and slaughter the bullock before Jehovah. Lev. 4:4
And the priest that is anointed shall take of the bullock's blood, and bring it into the tent of meeting; Lev. 4:5
and the priest shall dip his finger in the blood, and sprinkle of the blood seven times before Jehovah before the veil of the sanctuary; Lev. 4:6
and the priest shall put of the blood on the horns of the altar of fragrant incense, which is in the tent of meeting, before Jehovah; and he shall pour all the blood of the bullock at the bottom of the altar of burnt-offering, which is at the entrance of the tent of meeting. Lev. 4:7

and the two kidneys, and the fat that is on them, which is by the flanks, and the net above the liver which he shall take away as far as the kidneys, Lev. 4:9
as it is taken off from the ox of the sacrifice of peace-offering; and the priest shall burn them on the altar of burnt-offering. Lev. 4:10
And the skin of the bullock, and all its flesh, with its head, and with its legs, and its inwards, and its dung, Lev. 4:11
even the whole bullock shall he carry forth outside the camp unto a clean place, where the ashes are poured out, and burn it on wood with fire; where the ashes are poured out shall it be burnt. Lev. 4:12
And if the whole assembly of Israel sin inadvertently, and the thing be hid from the eyes of the congregation, and they do somewhat against any of all the commandments of Jehovah in things which should not be done, and are guilty; Lev. 4:13
and the sin wherewith they have sinned against it have become known; then the congregation shall present a young bullock for the sin-offering, and shall bring it before the tent of meeting; Lev. 4:14
and the elders of the assembly shall lay their hands on the head of the bullock before Jehovah; and one shall slaughter the bullock before Jehovah. Lev. 4:15

This is the portion of the anointing of Aaron and of the anointing of his sons, from Jehovah's offerings by fire, in the day when he presented them to serve Jehovah as priests, Lev. 7:35
which Jehovah commanded to be given them by the children of Israel in the day that he anointed them: it is an everlasting statute, throughout their generations. Lev. 7:36
This is the law of the burnt-offering, of the oblation, and of the sin-offering, and of the trespass-offering, and of the consecration-offering, and of the sacrifice of peace-offering, Lev. 7:37
which Jehovah commanded Moses in mount Sinai, in the day that he commanded the children of Israel to present their offerings to Jehovah, in the wilderness of Sinai. Lev. 7:38
Take Aaron and his sons with him, and the garments and the anointing oil, and the bullock of the sin-offering, and the two rams, and the basket of unleavened bread; Lev. 8:2

and he slaughtered it, and Moses took the blood, and put it on the horns of the altar round about with his finger, and cleansed the altar from sin, and the blood he poured at the bottom of the altar, and hallowed it, making atonement for it. Lev. 8:15
And he took all the fat that was on the inwards, and the net of the liver, and the two kidneys, and their fat, and Moses burned them on the altar. Lev. 8:16

And the ram he cut up into its pieces; and Moses burned the head, and the pieces, and the fat; Lev. 8:20
and the inwards and the legs he washed in water; and Moses burned the whole ram on the altar: it was a burnt-offering for a sweet odour, it was an offering by fire to Jehovah; as Jehovah had commanded Moses. Lev. 8:21
And he presented the second ram, the ram of consecration; and Aaron and his sons laid their hands on the head of the ram; Lev. 8:22
and one slaughtered it; and Moses took of its blood, and put it on the tip of Aaron's right ear, and on the thumb of his right hand, and on the great toe of his right foot; Lev. 8:23

And Moses took the breast, and waved it as a wave-offering before Jehovah; of the ram of consecration it was Moses' part; as Jehovah had commanded Moses. Lev. 8:29
And Moses took of the anointing oil, and of the blood that was on the altar, and sprinkled it on Aaron, on his garments, and on his sons, and on his sons' garments with him; and hallowed Aaron, his garments, and his sons, and his sons' garments with him. Lev. 8:30
And Moses spoke to Aaron and to his sons, Boil the flesh at the entrance of the tent of meeting; and there eat it and the bread that is in the basket of the consecration-offering, as I commanded, saying, Aaron and his sons shall eat it. Lev. 8:31
And that which remaineth of the flesh and of the bread shall ye burn with fire. Lev. 8:32
And ye shall not go out from the entrance of the tent of meeting seven days, until the day when the days of your consecration are at an end: for seven days shall ye be consecrated. Lev. 8:33
And ye shall abide at the entrance of the tent of meeting day and night seven days, and keep the charge of Jehovah, that ye die not; for so I am commanded. Lev. 8:35
And Aaron and his sons did all things that Jehovah had commanded by the hand of Moses. Lev. 8:36
And it came to pass on the eighth day, that Moses called Aaron and his sons, and the elders of Israel, Lev. 9:1
and to the children of Israel shalt thou speak, saying, Take a buck of the goats for a sin-offering, and a calf and a lamb, yearlings, without blemish, for a burnt-offering; Lev. 9:3
And they brought what Moses commanded before the tent of meeting; and all the assembly approached and stood before Jehovah. Lev. 9:5
And Moses said, This is the thing which Jehovah has commanded that ye should do; and the glory of Jehovah shall appear to you. Lev. 9:6
And Moses said unto Aaron, Go to the altar, and offer thy sin-offering, and thy burnt-offering, and make atonement for thyself, and for the people; and offer the offering of the people, and make atonement for them, as Jehovah has commanded. Lev. 9:7
And Aaron went to the altar and slaughtered the calf of the sin-offering which was for himself; Lev. 9:8
and the sons of Aaron presented the blood to him, and he dipped his finger in the blood, and put it on the horns of the altar, and poured out the blood at the bottom of the altar. Lev. 9:9

and the pieces of fat of the bullock and of the ram, the fat tail and what covers the inwards, and the kidneys, and the net of the liver; Lev. 9:19
and they put the pieces of fat on the breast-pieces, and he burned the pieces of fat on the altar; Lev. 9:20
and the breast-pieces and the right shoulder Aaron waved as a wave-offering before Jehovah, as Moses had commanded. Lev. 9:21
And Aaron lifted up his hands toward the people and blessed them, and came down after the offering of the sin-offering, and the burnt-offering, and the peace-offering. Lev. 9:22
And Moses and Aaron went into the tent of meeting, and came out and blessed the people; and the glory of Jehovah appeared to all the people. Lev. 9:23
And there went out fire from before Jehovah, and consumed on the altar the burnt-offering, and the pieces of fat; and all the people saw it, and they shouted, and fell on their face. Lev. 9:24
And the sons of Aaron, Nadab and Abihu, took each of them his censer, and put fire in it, and put incense on it, and presented strange fire before Jehovah, which he had not commanded them. Lev. 10:1
And Moses said to Aaron, This is what Jehovah spoke, saying, I will be hallowed in them that come near me, and before all the people I will be glorified. And Aaron was silent. Lev. 10:3
And Moses called Mishael and Elzaphan, the sons of Uzziel the uncle of Aaron, and said to them, Come near, carry your brethren from before the sanctuary out of the camp. Lev. 10:4
And they went near, and carried them in their vests out of the camp, as Moses had said. Lev. 10:5
And Moses said to Aaron, and to Eleazar and to Ithamar his sons, Your heads shall ye not uncover, neither rend your clothes; lest ye die, and lest wrath come on all the assembly; but your brethren, the whole house of Israel, shall bewail the burning which Jehovah hath kindled. Lev. 10:6
And ye shall not go out from the entrance of the tent of meeting, lest ye die; for the anointing oil of Jehovah is upon you. And they did according to the word of Moses. Lev. 10:7
Thou shalt not drink wine nor strong drink, thou, and thy sons with thee, when ye go into the tent of meeting, lest ye die -- it is an everlasting statute throughout your generations, Lev. 10:9
that ye may put difference between the holy and the unholy, and between unclean and clean, Lev. 10:10
and that ye may teach the children of Israel all the statutes which Jehovah hath spoken to them by the hand of Moses. Lev. 10:11
And Moses spoke to Aaron, and to Eleazar and to Ithamar, his sons that were left, Take the oblation that is left of Jehovah's offerings by fire, and eat it with unleavened bread beside the altar; for it is most holy. Lev. 10:12
And the breast of the wave-offering, and the shoulder of the heave-offering shall ye eat in a clean place, thou, and thy sons, and thy daughters with thee; for as thy due, and thy sons' due, are they given of the sacrifices of peace-offerings of the children of Israel. Lev. 10:14
The shoulder of the heave-offering and the breast of the wave-offering shall they bring, with the fire-offering of the pieces of fat, to wave them as a wave-offering before Jehovah; and they shall be thine, and thy sons' with thee, for an everlasting statute, as Jehovah has commanded. Lev. 10:15
And Moses diligently sought the goat of the sin-offering, and behold, it was burnt up: then he was wroth with Eleazar and Ithamar, the sons of Aaron that were left, saying, Lev. 10:16
Why have ye not eaten the sin-offering in a holy place? for it is most holy, and he has given it to you that ye might bear the iniquity of the assembly, to make atonement for them before Jehovah. Lev. 10:17
Lo, its blood was not brought in within the sanctuary: ye should certainly have eaten it in the sanctuary, as I commanded. Lev. 10:18
And Aaron said to Moses, Behold, to-day have they presented their sin-offering and their burnt-offering before Jehovah; and such things have befallen me; and had I to-day eaten the sin-offering, would it have been good in the sight of Jehovah? Lev. 10:19
Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, These are the animals which ye shall eat of all the beasts which are on the earth. Lev. 11:2
Whatever hath cloven hoofs, and feet quite split open, and cheweth the cud, among the beasts -- that shall ye eat. Lev. 11:3
Only these shall ye not eat of those that chew the cud, or of those with cloven hoofs: the camel, for it cheweth the cud, but hath not cloven hoofs -- it shall be unclean unto you; Lev. 11:4
and the rock-badger, for it cheweth the cud, but hath not cloven hoofs -- it shall be unclean unto you; Lev. 11:5
and the hare, for it cheweth the cud, but hath not cloven hoofs -- it shall be unclean unto you; Lev. 11:6
and the swine, for it hath cloven hoofs, and feet quite split open, but it cheweth not the cud -- it shall be unclean unto you. Lev. 11:7
These shall ye eat of all that are in the waters: whatever hath fins and scales in waters, in seas and in rivers, these shall ye eat; Lev. 11:9
but all that have not fins and scales in seas and in rivers, of all that swarm in the waters, and of every living soul which is in the waters -- they shall be an abomination unto you. Lev. 11:10
Whatever in the waters hath no fins and scales, that shall be an abomination unto you. Lev. 11:12
And these shall ye have in abomination of the fowls; they shall not be eaten; an abomination shall they be: the eagle, and the ossifrage, and the sea-eagle, Lev. 11:13
and the falcon, and the kite, after its kind; Lev. 11:14
and the female ostrich and the male ostrich, and the sea-gull, and the hawk, after its kind; Lev. 11:16
and the owl, and the gannet, and the ibis, Lev. 11:17
and the swan, and the pelican, and the carrion vulture, Lev. 11:18
and the stork; the heron after its kind, and the hoopoe, and the bat. Lev. 11:19
Yet these shall ye eat of every winged crawling thing that goeth upon all four: those which have legs above their feet with which to leap upon the earth. Lev. 11:21
These shall ye eat of them: the arbeh after its kind, and the solam after its kind, and the hargol after its kind, and the hargab after its kind. Lev. 11:22
And by these ye shall make yourselves unclean; whoever toucheth their carcase shall be unclean until the even. Lev. 11:24
And whoever carrieth ought of their carcase shall wash his garments, and be unclean until the even. Lev. 11:25

And whatever goeth on its paws, among all manner of beasts that go upon all four, those are unclean unto you: whoever toucheth their carcase shall be unclean until the even. Lev. 11:27

When a man shall have in the skin of his flesh a rising or a scab, or bright spot, and it become in the skin of his flesh a sore as of leprosy, then he shall be brought unto Aaron the priest, or unto one of his sons the priests. Lev. 13:2
And when the priest looketh on the sore in the skin of the flesh, and the hair in the sore is turned white, and the sore looketh deeper than the skin of his flesh, it is the sore of leprosy; and the priest shall look on him and pronounce him unclean. Lev. 13:3
But if the bright spot be white in the skin of his flesh, and look not deeper than the skin, and the hair thereof be not turned white, the priest shall shut up him that hath the sore seven days. Lev. 13:4

When a sore as of leprosy is in a man, he shall be brought unto the priest; Lev. 13:9
and the priest shall look on him, and behold, there is a white rising in the skin, and it hath turned the hair white, and a trace of raw flesh is in the rising: Lev. 13:10
it is an old leprosy in the skin of his flesh; and the priest shall pronounce him unclean, and he shall not shut him up, for he is unclean. Lev. 13:11

And on the day when raw flesh appeareth in him, he shall be unclean. Lev. 13:14

And the flesh -- when in the skin thereof cometh a boil, and it is healed, Lev. 13:18
and there is in the place of the boil a white rising, or a white-reddish bright spot, it shall be shewn to the priest; Lev. 13:19
and the priest shall look on it, and behold, it looketh deeper than the skin, and the hair thereof is turned white; then the priest shall pronounce him unclean: it is the sore of leprosy broken out in the boil. Lev. 13:20
But if the priest look on it, and behold, there are no white hairs therein, and it is not deeper than the skin, and is pale, the priest shall shut him up seven days; Lev. 13:21
and if it spread much in the skin, then the priest shall pronounce him unclean: it is the sore. Lev. 13:22
But if the bright spot have remained in its place, and have not spread, it is the scar of the boil; and the priest shall pronounce him clean. Lev. 13:23
Or if in the flesh, in the skin thereof, there is a burning inflammation, and the place of the inflammation become a bright spot white-reddish or white, Lev. 13:24

And if a man or a woman have a sore on the head or on the beard, Lev. 13:29
and the priest look on the sore, and behold, it looketh deeper than the skin, and there is in it yellow thin hair, then the priest shall pronounce him unclean; it is a scall, the leprosy of the head or the beard. Lev. 13:30
And if the priest look on the sore of the scall, and behold, it is not in sight deeper than the skin, and there is no black hair in it, the priest shall shut up him that hath the sore of the scall seven days. Lev. 13:31

he that hath the sore shall shave himself; but the scall shall he not shave; and the priest shall shut up him that hath the scall seven days a second time. Lev. 13:33
And the priest shall look on the scall on the seventh day, and behold, the scall hath not spread in the skin, nor is in sight deeper than the skin, then the priest shall pronounce him clean; and he shall wash his garments, and be clean. Lev. 13:34
But if the scall have spread much in the skin after his cleansing, Lev. 13:35
and the priest shall look on him, and behold, the scall hath spread in the skin, the priest shall not seek for yellow hair: he is unclean. Lev. 13:36
But if the scall have in his sight remained as it was, and there is black hair grown up therein, the scall is healed: he is clean; and the priest shall pronounce him clean. Lev. 13:37
And if a man or a woman have in the skin of their flesh bright spots, white bright spots, Lev. 13:38
and the priest look, and behold, there are in the skin of their flesh pale white spots, it is an eruption which is broken out in the skin: he is clean. Lev. 13:39
and if he have the hair fallen off from the part of the head towards his face, he is forehead-bald: he is clean. Lev. 13:41
And if there be in the bald head, or bald forehead, a white-reddish sore, it is a leprosy which hath broken out in his bald head, or his bald forehead. Lev. 13:42
And the priest shall look on it, and behold, the rising of the sore is white-reddish in his bald head, or in his bald forehead, like the appearance of the leprosy in the skin of the flesh; Lev. 13:43
he is a leprous man, he is unclean; the priest shall pronounce him utterly unclean; his sore is in his head. Lev. 13:44
And as to the leper in whom the sore is, -- his garments shall be rent, and his head shall be uncovered, and he shall put a covering on his beard, and shall cry, Unclean, unclean! Lev. 13:45
All the days that the sore shall be in him he shall be unclean: he is unclean; he shall dwell apart; outside the camp shall his dwelling be. Lev. 13:46

And the priest shall look on the sore, and shall shut up that which hath the sore seven days. Lev. 13:50
And he shall see the sore on the seventh day: if the sore have spread in the garment, either in the warp or in the woof, or in a skin, in any work that may be made of skin, the sore is a corroding leprosy: it is unclean. Lev. 13:51
And they shall burn the garment, or the warp or the woof, of wool or of linen, or anything of skin, wherein the sore is; for it is a corroding leprosy: it shall be burned with fire. Lev. 13:52
But if the priest look, and behold, the sore hath not spread in the garment, or in the warp, or in the woof, or in anything of skin, Lev. 13:53
then the priest shall command that they wash the thing wherein the sore is, and he shall shut it up seven days a second time. Lev. 13:54
And the priest shall look on the sore after the washing, and behold, if the sore have not changed its appearance, and the sore have not spread, it is unclean: thou shalt burn it with fire: it is a fretting sore on what is threadbare or where the nap is gone. Lev. 13:55
But if the priest look, and behold, the sore hath become pale after the washing of it, then he shall rend it from the garment, or from the skin, or from the warp, or from the woof. Lev. 13:56
And if it appear still in the garment, or in the warp, or in the woof, or in anything of skin, it is a leprosy breaking out: thou shalt burn with fire that wherein the sore is. Lev. 13:57
But the garment, or the warp, or the woof, or whatever thing of skin which thou hast washed, and the sore departeth from them, it shall be washed a second time, and it is clean. Lev. 13:58
This is the law of the sore of leprosy in a garment of wool or linen, or in the warp, or in the woof, or in anything of skin, to cleanse it, or to pronounce it unclean. Lev. 13:59
This shall be the law of the leper in the day of his cleansing: he shall be brought unto the priest, Lev. 14:2
and the priest shall go out of the camp; and when the priest looketh, and behold, the sore of leprosy is healed in the leper, Lev. 14:3
then shall the priest command to take for him that is to be cleansed two clean living birds, and cedar-wood, and scarlet, and hyssop. Lev. 14:4
And the priest shall command that one bird be killed in an earthen vessel over running water: Lev. 14:5
as to the living bird -- he shall take it, and the cedar-wood, and the scarlet, and the hyssop, and dip them and the living bird in the blood of the bird that was killed over the running water; Lev. 14:6
and he shall sprinkle upon him that is to be cleansed from the leprosy seven times, and shall pronounce him clean, and shall let the living bird loose into the open field. Lev. 14:7

And the priest shall take of the blood of the trespass-offering, and the priest shall put it on the tip of the right ear of him that is to be cleansed, and on the thumb of his right hand, and on the great toe of his right foot. Lev. 14:14
And the priest shall take of the log of oil, and pour it into his, the priest's, left hand; Lev. 14:15
and the priest shall dip his right finger in the oil that is in his left hand, and shall sprinkle of the oil with his finger seven times before Jehovah. Lev. 14:16
And of the rest of the oil that is in his hand shall the priest put on the tip of the right ear of him that is to be cleansed, and on the thumb of his right hand, and on the great toe of his right foot, upon the blood of the trespass-offering. Lev. 14:17

This is the law for him in whom is the sore of leprosy, whose hand cannot get what is regularly prescribed in his cleansing. Lev. 14:32
When ye come into the land of Canaan, which I give to you for a possession, and I put a leprous plague in a house of the land of your possession, Lev. 14:34
then he whose house it is shall come and tell the priest, saying, It seemeth to me like a plague in the house; Lev. 14:35
and the priest shall command that they empty the house before the priest go into it to see the plague, that all that is in the house be not made unclean; and afterwards the priest shall go in to see the house. Lev. 14:36

and he shall let the living bird loose out of the city into the open field; and he shall make atonement for the house, and it is clean. Lev. 14:53
This is the law for every sore of leprosy, and for the scall, Lev. 14:54
and for the leprosy of garments, and of houses, Lev. 14:55
and for the rising, and for the scab, and for the bright spot, Lev. 14:56
to teach when there is uncleanness, and when it is purified: this is the law of leprosy. Lev. 14:57

and the Israelitish woman's son blasphemed the Name, and cursed; and they brought him to Moses. And his mother's name was Shelomith, the daughter of Dibri, of the tribe of Dan. Lev. 24:11
And they confined him, that they might decide at the mouth of Jehovah. Lev. 24:12
Lead the reviler outside the camp; and all that heard him shall lay their hands upon his head, and the whole assembly shall stone him. Lev. 24:14
And thou shalt speak unto the children of Israel, saying, Every one when he revileth his God shall bear his sin. Lev. 24:15
And he that blasphemeth the name of Jehovah shall certainly be put to death; all the assembly shall certainly stone him; as well the stranger as he that is home-born, when he blasphemeth the Name, shall be put to death. Lev. 24:16
Ye shall have one law: as the stranger, so the home-born; for I am Jehovah your God. Lev. 24:22

but in the seventh year shall be a sabbath of rest for the land, a sabbath to Jehovah. Thy field shalt thou not sow, and thy vineyard shalt thou not prune. Lev. 25:4

Then shalt thou cause the loud sound of the trumpet to go forth in the seventh month, on the tenth of the month; on the day of atonement shall ye cause the trumpet to go forth throughout your land. Lev. 25:9
And ye shall hallow the year of the fiftieth year, and proclaim liberty in the land unto all the inhabitants thereof; a year of jubilee shall it be unto you, and ye shall return every man unto his possession, and ye shall return every man unto his family; Lev. 25:10
a year of jubilee shall that fiftieth year be unto you: ye shall not sow, neither reap its aftergrowth, nor gather the fruit of its undressed vines. Lev. 25:11
For it is the jubilee; it shall be holy unto you; out of the field shall ye eat its produce. Lev. 25:12
In this year of the jubilee ye shall return every man unto his possession. Lev. 25:13
According to the number of years since the jubilee, thou shalt buy of thy neighbour; according to the number of years of the produce, he shall sell unto thee. Lev. 25:15
According to the greater number of the years, thou shalt increase the price thereof; and according to the fewness of years, thou shalt diminish the price of it; for it is the number of crops that he selleth unto thee. Lev. 25:16
And the land shall yield its fruit, and ye shall eat and be satisfied, and dwell therein securely. Lev. 25:19
And if ye say, What shall we eat in the seventh year? behold, we may not sow, nor gather in our produce; Lev. 25:20
then I will command my blessing upon you in the sixth year, that it may bring forth produce for three years; Lev. 25:21
and ye shall sow in the eighth year, and ye shall eat of the old fruit until the ninth year; until her produce come in, ye shall eat the old. Lev. 25:22
And the land shall not be sold for ever; for the land is mine; for ye are strangers and sojourners with me. Lev. 25:23
And in all the land of your possession ye shall grant a redemption for the land. Lev. 25:24
And if the man have no one having right of redemption, and his hand have acquired and found what sufficeth for its redemption, Lev. 25:26
then shall he reckon the years since the sale thereof, and restore the overplus unto the man to whom he sold it; and so return unto his possession. Lev. 25:27
And if his hand have not found what sufficeth for him to restore it to him, then that which is sold shall remain in the hand of the purchaser, until the year of jubilee; and in the jubilee it shall go out, and he shall return unto his possession. Lev. 25:28
And if any one sell a dwelling-house in a walled city, then he shall have the right of redemption up to the end of the year of the sale thereof; for a full year shall he have the right of redemption. Lev. 25:29
But if it be not redeemed until a whole year is complete, then the house that is in the walled city shall be established for ever to him that bought it, throughout his generations: it shall not go out in the jubilee. Lev. 25:30
But the houses in villages that have no wall round about them shall be reckoned as the fields of the country: they may be redeemed, and they shall go out in the jubilee. Lev. 25:31
But as to the cities of the Levites, the houses in the cities of their possession, the Levites shall have a perpetual right of redemption. Lev. 25:32
And if any one redeem from one of the Levites, then the house that was sold, in the city of his possession, shall go out in the jubilee; for the houses of the cities of the Levites are their possession among the children of Israel. Lev. 25:33
And the field of the suburbs of their cities shall not be sold; for it is their perpetual possession. Lev. 25:34
I am Jehovah your God, who brought you forth out of the land of Egypt, to give you the land of Canaan, to be your God. Lev. 25:38
as a hired servant, as a sojourner, shall he be with thee; until the year of jubilee shall he serve thee. Lev. 25:40
Then shall he depart from thee, he and his children with him, and shall return unto his own family, and unto the possession of his fathers shall he return. Lev. 25:41
For they are my bondmen, whom I brought forth out of the land of Egypt: they shall not be sold as men sell bondmen. Lev. 25:42
And as for thy bondman and thy handmaid whom thou shalt have -- of the nations that are round about you, of them shall ye buy bondmen and handmaids. Lev. 25:44
Moreover of the children of them that dwell as sojourners with you, of them may ye buy, and of their family that is with you, which they beget in your land, and they shall be your possession. Lev. 25:45
And ye shall leave them as an inheritance to your children after you, to inherit them as a possession: these may ye make your bondmen for ever; but as for your brethren, the children of Israel, ye shall not rule over one another with rigour. Lev. 25:46
And if a stranger or sojourner become wealthy beside thee, and thy brother beside him grow poor, and sell himself unto the stranger, who is settled by thee, or to a scion of the stranger's family, Lev. 25:47
And he shall reckon with him that bought him from the year that he was sold to him unto the year of jubilee; and the price of his sale shall be according to the number of the years, according to the days of a hired servant shall he be with him. Lev. 25:50
If there are yet many years, according unto them shall he return his redemption money out of the money that he was bought for; Lev. 25:51
and if there remain but few years unto the year of jubilee, then he shall reckon with him; according unto his remaining years of service shall he give him back his redemption money. Lev. 25:52
And if he be not redeemed in this manner, then he shall go out in the year of jubilee, he and his children with him. Lev. 25:54
For the children of Israel are servants unto me; they are my servants whom I brought forth out of the land of Egypt: I am Jehovah your God. Lev. 25:55
then I will give your rain in the season thereof, and the land shall yield its produce, and the trees of the field shall yield their fruit; Lev. 26:4
and your threshing shall reach unto the vintage, and the vintage shall reach unto the sowing-time; and ye shall eat your bread to the full, and dwell in your land securely. Lev. 26:5
And I will give peace in the land, and ye shall lie down, and none shall make you afraid; and I will put away the evil beasts out of the land; and the sword shall not go through your land. Lev. 26:6
And ye shall chase your enemies, and they shall fall before you by the sword; Lev. 26:7
and five of you shall chase a hundred, and a hundred of you shall put ten thousand to flight; and your enemies shall fall beside you by the sword. Lev. 26:8
And ye shall eat old store, and clear away the old because of the new. Lev. 26:10
I am Jehovah your God, who brought you forth out of the land of Egypt, that ye should not be their bondmen; and I have broken the bands of your yoke, and made you walk upright. Lev. 26:13
I also will do this unto you -- I will even appoint over you terror, consumption, and fever, which shall cause the eyes to fail, and the soul to waste away; and ye shall sow your seed in vain, for your enemies shall eat it. Lev. 26:16
and I will break the arrogance of your power; and I will make your heaven as iron, and your earth as bronze, Lev. 26:19
and your strength shall be spent in vain, and your land shall not yield its produce; and the trees of the land shall not yield their fruit. Lev. 26:20
And I will send the beasts of the field among you, that they may rob you of your children, and cut off your cattle, and make you few in number; and your streets shall be desolate. Lev. 26:22
And I will bring a sword upon you that avengeth with the vengeance of the covenant, and ye shall be gathered together into your cities, and I will send the pestilence among you; and ye shall be delivered into the hand of the enemy. Lev. 26:25
When I break the staff of your bread, ten women shall bake your bread in one oven, and shall deliver you the bread again by weight; and ye shall eat, and not be satisfied. Lev. 26:26
And ye shall eat the flesh of your sons, and the flesh of your daughters shall ye eat. Lev. 26:29
And I will lay waste your high places, and cut down your sun-pillars, and cast your carcases upon the carcases of your idols; and my soul shall abhor you. Lev. 26:30
And I will bring the land into desolation; that your enemies who dwell there in may be astonished at it. Lev. 26:32
And I will scatter you among the nations, and will draw out the sword after you; and your land shall be desolation, and your cities waste. Lev. 26:33
Then shall the land enjoy its sabbaths all the days of the desolation, when ye are in your enemies' land; then shall the land rest, and enjoy its sabbaths. Lev. 26:34
All the days of the desolation it shall rest, the days in which it did not rest on your sabbaths, when ye dwelt therein. Lev. 26:35
And as to those that remain of you -- I will send faintness into their hearts in the lands of their enemies, that the sound of a driven leaf shall chase them, and they shall flee, as fleeing from a sword; and they shall fall when none pursueth; Lev. 26:36
And ye shall perish among the nations, and the land of your enemies shall eat you up. Lev. 26:38
And they that remain of you shall waste away through their iniquity in your enemies' lands; and also through the iniquities of their fathers shall they waste away with them. Lev. 26:39
And they shall confess their iniquity, and the iniquity of their fathers, through their unfaithfulness wherein they were unfaithful to me, and also that they have walked contrary unto me, Lev. 26:40
so that I also walked contrary unto them, and brought them into the land of their enemies. If then their uncircumcised heart be humbled, and they then accept the punishment of their iniquity, Lev. 26:41
I will remember my covenant with Jacob, and also my covenant with Isaac, and also my covenant with Abraham will I remember; and I will remember the land. Lev. 26:42
For the land shall be left by them, and shall enjoy its sabbaths, when it is in desolation without them; and they shall accept the punishment of their iniquity; because, even because they despised my judgments, and their soul abhorred my statutes. Lev. 26:43
And yet for all that, when they are in the land of their enemies, I will not despise them, and will not abhor them, to make an end of them utterly, to break my covenant with them, for I am Jehovah their God. Lev. 26:44
But I will remember toward them the covenant with their ancestors whom I brought forth out of the land of Egypt before the eyes of the nations, that I might be their God: I am Jehovah. Lev. 26:45
These are the statutes and ordinances and laws which Jehovah made between him and the children of Israel in mount Sinai, by the hand of Moses. Lev. 26:46
Speak unto the children of Israel and say unto them, When any one devoteth anything by a vow, the persons shall be for Jehovah according to thy valuation. Lev. 27:2
And thy valuation shall be of the male from twenty years old even unto sixty years old: thy valuation shall be fifty shekels of silver, after the shekel of the sanctuary; Lev. 27:3
And if it be from five years old even unto twenty years old, thy valuation of the male shall be twenty shekels, and for the female ten shekels. Lev. 27:5
And if it be from a month old even unto five years old, thy valuation of the male shall be five shekels of silver; and for the female thy valuation shall be three shekels of silver. Lev. 27:6
And if it be from sixty years old and above, if it be a male, thy valuation shall be fifteen shekels; and for the female ten shekels. Lev. 27:7
And if he be poorer than thy valuation, he shall present himself before the priest, and the priest shall value him: according to his means that vowed shall the priest value him. Lev. 27:8
They shall not alter it nor change it, a good for a bad, or a bad for a good; and if he at all change beast for beast, then it and the exchange thereof shall be holy. Lev. 27:10
And if it be any unclean beast, of which they do not bring an offering unto Jehovah, then he shall present the beast before the priest; Lev. 27:11
and the priest shall value it, judging between good and bad: according to the valuation of the priest, so shall it be. Lev. 27:12
And when any one halloweth his house, that it may be holy to Jehovah, the priest shall value it, judging between good and bad: as the priest shall value it, so shall it stand. Lev. 27:14
And if he that halloweth it will redeem his house, he shall add the fifth of the money of thy valuation unto it, and it shall be his. Lev. 27:15
And if a man hallow to Jehovah part of a field of his possession, thy valuation shall be according to what may be sown in it: the homer of barley seed at fifty shekels of silver. Lev. 27:16
If he hallow his field from the year of jubilee, according to thy valuation shall it stand; Lev. 27:17
but if he hallow his field after the jubilee, then the priest shall reckon unto him the money according to the years that remain, until the year of the jubilee; and there shall be a reduction from thy valuation. Lev. 27:18
And if he that hallowed the field will in any wise redeem it, he shall add the fifth of the money of thy valuation unto it, and it shall be assured to him; Lev. 27:19
but if he do not redeem the field, or if he sell the field to another man, it cannot be redeemed any more; Lev. 27:20
and the field, when it goeth out in the jubilee, shall be holy to Jehovah, as a field devoted; the possession thereof shall be the priest's. Lev. 27:21
And if he hallow to Jehovah a field that he hath bought, which is not of the fields of his possession, Lev. 27:22
the priest shall reckon unto him the amount of thy valuation, unto the year of the jubilee; and he shall give thy valuation on that day, as holy to Jehovah. Lev. 27:23
In the year of the jubilee the field shall return unto him of whom it was bought -- to him to whom the land belonged. Lev. 27:24
And all thy valuation shall be according to the shekel of the sanctuary: twenty gerahs shall be the shekel. Lev. 27:25
Only the firstling which is offered as firstling to Jehovah among the cattle, that shall no man hallow, whether it be ox or sheep; it is Jehovah's. Lev. 27:26
Notwithstanding, no devoted thing that a man hath devoted to Jehovah of all that he hath, of man or beast, or of the field of his possession, shall be sold or redeemed: every devoted thing is most holy to Jehovah. Lev. 27:28
And as to every tithe of the land, of the seed of the land, and of the fruit of the tree, it is Jehovah's: it is holy to Jehovah. Lev. 27:30
And if any one will at all redeem of his tithes, he shall add thereto the fifth thereof. Lev. 27:31
And as to every tithe of the herd, or of the flock, of whatever passeth under the rod, the tenth shall be holy to Jehovah. Lev. 27:32
He shall not search whether it be good or bad, neither shall he change it; and if he change it at all, then both it and the exchange thereof shall be holy; it shall not be redeemed. Lev. 27:33
These are the commandments which Jehovah commanded Moses for the children of Israel upon mount Sinai. Lev. 27:34
And Jehovah spoke to Moses in the wilderness of Sinai in the tent of meeting, on the first of the second month, in the second year after their departure from the land of Egypt, saying, Num. 1:1
Take the sum of the whole assembly of the children of Israel, after their families, according to their fathers' houses, by the number of the names, every male, according to their polls; Num. 1:2
And with you there shall be a man for every tribe, a man who is the head of his father's house. Num. 1:4
And these are the names of the men that shall stand with you: for Reuben, Elizur the son of Shedeur; Num. 1:5

But the Levites after the tribe of their fathers were not numbered among them. Num. 1:47
Only thou shalt not number the tribe of Levi, neither take the sum of them among the children of Israel. Num. 1:49
But thou, appoint the Levites over the tabernacle of testimony, and over all the vessels thereof, and over all things that belong to it: they shall bear the tabernacle, and all its vessels; and they shall serve it, and round about the tabernacle shall they encamp; Num. 1:50
and when the tabernacle setteth forward, the Levites shall take it down; and when the tabernacle encampeth, the Levites shall set it up; and the stranger that cometh near shall be put to death. Num. 1:51
And the children of Israel shall encamp every man in his camp, and every man by his own standard, according to their hosts; Num. 1:52

And these are the generations of Aaron and Moses in the day that Jehovah spoke with Moses on mount Sinai. Num. 3:1

These are the names of the sons of Aaron, the anointed priests, who were consecrated to exercise the priesthood. Num. 3:3
And Nadab and Abihu died before Jehovah when they offered strange fire before Jehovah in the wilderness of Sinai, and they had no sons; and Eleazar and Ithamar exercised the priesthood in the presence of Aaron their father. Num. 3:4
Bring the tribe of Levi near, and present them before Aaron the priest, that they may minister unto him; Num. 3:6

And they shall keep all the utensils of the tent of meeting, and the charge of the children of Israel, to do the service of the tabernacle. Num. 3:8

And Aaron and his sons shalt thou appoint that they may attend to their priest's office; and the stranger that cometh near shall be put to death. Num. 3:10
And I, behold, I have taken the Levites from among the children of Israel instead of every firstborn that breaketh open the womb among the children of Israel, and the Levites shall be mine; Num. 3:12
for every firstborn is mine. On the day that I smote all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, I hallowed unto me all the firstborn in Israel, both of man and beast; mine shall they be: I am Jehovah. Num. 3:13
And Jehovah spoke to Moses in the wilderness of Sinai, saying, Num. 3:14
Number the sons of Levi according to their fathers' houses, after their families; every male from a month old and upward shalt thou number them. Num. 3:15
And Moses numbered them, according to the commandment of Jehovah, -- as he had been commanded. Num. 3:16

And Moses numbered, as Jehovah had commanded him, all the firstborn among the children of Israel. Num. 3:42

And the children of Israel did so, and put them outside the camp: as Jehovah had said to Moses, so did the children of Israel. Num. 5:4
Speak unto the children of Israel, When a man or woman shall commit any of all the sins of man to work unfaithfulness against Jehovah, and that soul is guilty, Num. 5:6
then they shall confess their sin which they have done; and he shall recompense his trespass according to the principal thereof, and shall add unto it the fifth part thereof, and give it unto him against whom he hath trespassed. Num. 5:7
And if the man have no kinsman to recompense the trespass unto, the trespass which is recompensed to Jehovah shall be the priest's, besides the ram of the atonement, wherewith an atonement is made for him. Num. 5:8
And every heave-offering of all the holy things of the children of Israel, which they present unto the priest, shall be his. Num. 5:9
And every man's hallowed things shall be his: whatever any man giveth the priest shall be his. Num. 5:10
Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, If any man's wife go astray, and commit unfaithfulness against him, Num. 5:12
and a man lie with her carnally, and it be hid from the eyes of her husband, and she be defiled in secret, and there be no witness against her, and she have not been caught; Num. 5:13
and the spirit of jealousy come upon him, and he be jealous of his wife, and she have been defiled, -- or if the spirit of jealousy come upon him, and he be jealous of his wife, and she have not been defiled, Num. 5:14
-- then shall the man bring his wife unto the priest, and he shall bring her offering for her, a tenth part of an ephah of barley-meal; he shall pour no oil upon it, nor put frankincense thereon; for it is an oblation of jealousy, a memorial oblation, bringing iniquity to remembrance. Num. 5:15
And the priest shall bring her near, and set her before Jehovah. Num. 5:16
And the priest shall take holy water in an earthen vessel; and the priest shall take of the dust that is on the floor of the tabernacle, and put it into the water. Num. 5:17
And the priest shall set the woman before Jehovah, and uncover the woman's head, and put the memorial oblation in her hands, which is the jealousy offering; and in the hand of the priest shall be the bitter water that bringeth the curse. Num. 5:18
And the priest shall adjure her, and say unto the woman, If no man have lain with thee, and if thou hast not gone astray in uncleanness, in being with another instead of thy husband, be free from this bitter water that bringeth the curse. Num. 5:19
-- then the priest shall adjure the woman with the oath of cursing, and the priest shall say unto the woman: Jehovah make thee a curse and an oath among thy people, when Jehovah doth make thy thigh to shrink, and thy belly to swell; Num. 5:21
and this water that bringeth the curse shall enter into thy bowels, to make the belly to swell, and the thigh to shrink. And the woman shall say, Amen, amen. Num. 5:22
And the priest shall write these curses in a book, and shall blot them out with the bitter water, Num. 5:23
and he shall cause the woman to drink the bitter water that bringeth the curse, that the water that bringeth the curse may enter into her for bitterness. Num. 5:24
And the priest shall take out of the woman's hand the oblation of jealousy, and shall wave the oblation before Jehovah, and shall present it at the altar. Num. 5:25
And the priest shall take a handful of the oblation as a memorial thereof, and burn it upon the altar; and afterwards he shall make the woman drink the water. Num. 5:26
And when he hath made her to drink the water, then it shall come to pass, if she have been defiled, and have committed unfaithfulness against her husband, that the water that bringeth the curse shall enter into her, for bitterness, and her belly shall swell, and her thigh shall shrink; and the woman shall become a curse among her people. Num. 5:27
But if the woman have not been defiled, and be clean, then she shall be clear, and shall conceive seed. Num. 5:28
This is the law of jealousies, when a wife goeth astray to another instead of her husband and is defiled, Num. 5:29
or when the spirit of jealousy cometh upon a man, and he is jealous as regards his wife; then shall he set the woman before Jehovah, and the priest shall do to her according to all this law. Num. 5:30
Then shall the man be free from iniquity, but that woman shall bear her iniquity. Num. 5:31
Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, If a man or a woman have vowed the special vow of a Nazarite, to consecrate themselves to Jehovah; Num. 6:2
All the days of his separation shall he eat nothing that is made of the vine, from the seed-stones, even to the skin. Num. 6:4
All the days of the vow of his separation there shall no razor come upon his head; until the days be fulfilled, that he hath consecrated himself to Jehovah, he shall be holy; he shall let the locks of the hair of his head grow. Num. 6:5
All the days that he hath consecrated himself to Jehovah, he shall come near no dead body. Num. 6:6
He shall not make himself unclean for his father, or for his mother, for his brother, or for his sister when they die; for the consecration of his God is upon his head. Num. 6:7
All the days of his separation he is holy to Jehovah. Num. 6:8
And if any one die unexpectedly by him suddenly, and he hath defiled the head of his consecration, then he shall shave his head on the day of his cleansing; on the seventh day shall he shave it. Num. 6:9
And on the eighth day he shall bring two turtle-doves, or two young pigeons, to the priest, at the entrance of the tent of meeting. Num. 6:10
And the priest shall offer one for a sin-offering, and the other for a burnt-offering, and make an atonement for him, for that he sinned by the dead person; and he shall hallow his head that same day. Num. 6:11
And he shall again consecrate to Jehovah the days of his separation, and shall bring a yearling lamb for a trespass-offering. But the first days are forfeited, for his consecration hath been defiled. Num. 6:12
And this is the law of the Nazarite on the day when the days of his consecration are fulfilled: he shall be brought to the entrance of the tent of meeting. Num. 6:13
And the priest shall present them before Jehovah, and shall offer his sin-offering and his burnt-offering: Num. 6:16
and he shall offer the ram, a sacrifice of peace-offering to Jehovah, with the basket of unleavened bread; the priest shall offer also his oblation and his drink-offering. Num. 6:17
And the Nazarite shall shave the head of his consecration at the entrance to the tent of meeting, and shall take the hair of the head of his consecration, and put it on the fire which is under the sacrifice of the peace-offering. Num. 6:18
And the priest shall take the boiled shoulder of the ram, and one unleavened cake out of the basket, and one unleavened wafer, and shall put them upon the hands of the Nazarite, after he hath shaven the hair of his consecration. Num. 6:19
And the priest shall wave them as wave-offering before Jehovah; it is holy for the priest, with the breast of the wave-offering and with the shoulder of the heave-offering; and afterwards the Nazarite may drink wine. Num. 6:20
This is the law of the Nazarite who hath vowed: his offering to Jehovah for his consecration, beside what his hand is able to get; according to the vow which he vowed, so shall he do, according to the law of his consecration. Num. 6:21
Speak unto Aaron and unto his sons, saying, On this wise ye shall bless the children of Israel: saying unto them, Num. 6:23
And they shall put my name upon the children of Israel; and I will bless them. Num. 6:27
And it came to pass on the day that Moses had completed the setting up of the tabernacle, and had anointed it, and hallowed it, and all the furniture thereof, and the altar and all its utensils, and had anointed them, and hallowed them, Num. 7:1

and they brought their offering before Jehovah, six covered waggons, and twelve oxen; a waggon for two princes, and an ox for each; and they presented them before the tabernacle. Num. 7:3

And Moses took the waggons and the oxen, and gave them to the Levites. Num. 7:6
Two waggons and four oxen he gave to the sons of Gershon, according to their service; Num. 7:7
and four waggons and eight oxen he gave to the sons of Merari, according to their service, -- under the hand of Ithamar the son of Aaron the priest. Num. 7:8

And the princes presented the dedication-gift of the altar on the day that it was anointed; and the princes presented their offering before the altar. Num. 7:10

Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, If any one of you or of your generations be unclean by reason of a dead body or be on a journey afar off, yet he shall hold the passover to Jehovah. Num. 9:10
In the second month, on the fourteenth day, between the two evenings, shall they hold it; with unleavened bread and bitter herbs shall they eat it. Num. 9:11
They shall leave none of it until the morning, nor break a bone thereof: according to every ordinance of the passover shall they hold it. Num. 9:12
But a man that is clean, and is not on a journey, and forbeareth to hold the passover, that soul shall be cut off from among his peoples; because he presented not the offering of Jehovah at its set time: that man shall bear his sin. Num. 9:13
And if a stranger shall sojourn among you, and would hold the passover to Jehovah, according to the rite of the passover, and according to the ordinance thereof, so shall he do. Ye shall have one rite, both for the stranger and for him that is born in the land. Num. 9:14
And on the day that the tabernacle was set up, the cloud covered the tabernacle of the tent of testimony; and at even it was upon the tabernacle as the appearance of fire, until the morning. Num. 9:15
So it was continually: the cloud covered it, and at night it was as the appearance of fire. Num. 9:16
And when the cloud rose from the tent, then the children of Israel journeyed; and at the place where the cloud stood still, there the children of Israel encamped. Num. 9:17
According to the commandment of Jehovah the children of Israel journeyed, and according to the commandment of Jehovah they remained encamped; all the days that the cloud dwelt upon the tabernacle they encamped. Num. 9:18
And when the cloud was long upon the tabernacle many days, then the children of Israel kept the charge of Jehovah, and journeyed not. Num. 9:19
And if it were so that the cloud was a few days upon the tabernacle, according to the commandment of Jehovah they encamped, and according to the commandment of Jehovah they journeyed. Num. 9:20
And if it were so that the cloud was there from the evening until the morning, and that the cloud was taken up in the morning, then they journeyed; or a day and a night, and the cloud was taken up, they journeyed; Num. 9:21
or two days, or a month, or many days, when the cloud was long upon the tabernacle, dwelling upon it, the children of Israel remained encamped, and journeyed not; but when it was taken up, they journeyed. Num. 9:22
At the commandment of Jehovah they encamped, and at the commandment of Jehovah they journeyed: they kept the charge of Jehovah according to the commandment of Jehovah through Moses. Num. 9:23
Make thee two trumpets of silver; of beaten work shalt thou make them; and they shall serve for the calling together of the assembly, and for the journeying of the camps. Num. 10:2
And when they shall blow with them, the whole assembly shall gather to thee at the entrance of the tent of meeting. Num. 10:3
And if they blow with one, then the princes, the heads of the thousands of Israel, shall gather unto thee. Num. 10:4
And when ye blow an alarm, the camps that lie eastward shall set forward. Num. 10:5
And when ye blow an alarm the second time, the camps that lie southward shall set forward; they shall blow an alarm on their setting forward. Num. 10:6
And when the congregation is to be gathered together, ye shall blow, but ye shall not blow an alarm: Num. 10:7
the sons of Aaron, the priests, shall blow with the trumpets; and they shall be to you for an everlasting statute throughout your generations. Num. 10:8
And if ye go to war in your land against the enemy that oppresseth you, then ye shall blow an alarm with the trumpets; and ye shall be remembered before Jehovah your God, and ye shall be saved from your enemies. Num. 10:9
And in the day of your gladness, and in your set feasts, and in your new moons, ye shall blow with the trumpets over your burnt-offerings and over your sacrifices of peace-offering; and they shall be to you for a memorial before your God: I am Jehovah your God. Num. 10:10
And it came to pass in the second year, in the second month, on the twentieth of the month, that the cloud was taken up from off the tabernacle of the testimony. Num. 10:11
And the children of Israel set forward according to their journeys out of the wilderness of Sinai; and the cloud stood still in the wilderness of Paran. Num. 10:12
And they first took their journey, according to the commandment of Jehovah through Moses. Num. 10:13
The standard of the camp of the children of Judah set forward first according to their hosts, and over his host was Nahshon the son of Amminadab; Num. 10:14
and over the host of the tribe of the children of Issachar was Nethaneel the son of Zuar; Num. 10:15
and over the host of the tribe of the children of Zebulun was Eliab the son of Helon. Num. 10:16
And the tabernacle was taken down; and the sons of Gershon and the sons of Merari set forward bearing the tabernacle. Num. 10:17
And the standard of the camp of Reuben set forward according to their hosts, and over his host was Elizur the son of Shedeur; Num. 10:18
and over the host of the tribe of the children of Simeon was Shelumiel the son of Zurishaddai; Num. 10:19
and over the host of the tribe of the children of Gad was Eliasaph the son of Deuel. Num. 10:20
And the Kohathites set forward bearing the sanctuary: and the others set up the tabernacle whilst they came. Num. 10:21
And the standard of the camp of the children of Ephraim set forward according to their hosts, and over his host was Elishama the son of Ammihud; Num. 10:22
and over the host of the tribe of the children of Manasseh was Gamaliel the son of Pedahzur; Num. 10:23
and over the host of the tribe of the children of Benjamin was Abidan the son of Gideoni. Num. 10:24
And the standard of the camp of the children of Dan set forward, the rear-guard of all the camps according to their hosts, and over his host was Ahiezer the son of Ammishaddai; Num. 10:25
and over the host of the tribe of the children of Asher was Pagiel the son of Ocran; Num. 10:26
and over the host of the tribe of the children of Naphtali was Ahira the son of Enan. Num. 10:27
These were the settings forward of the children of Israel according to their hosts: so did they set forward. Num. 10:28
And Moses said to Hobab, the son of Reuel the Midianite, Moses' father-in-law, We are journeying to the place of which Jehovah said, I will give it unto you: come with us, and we will do thee good; for Jehovah has spoken good concerning Israel. Num. 10:29
And he said, Leave me not, I pray thee, because thou knowest where we are to encamp in the wilderness, and thou wilt be to us for eyes. Num. 10:31
And they set forward from the mountain of Jehovah and went three days' journey; and the ark of the covenant of Jehovah went before them in the three days' journey, to search out a resting-place for them. Num. 10:33
And the cloud of Jehovah was over them by day when they set forward out of the camp. Num. 10:34
And it came to pass when the ark set forward, that Moses said, Rise up, Jehovah, and let thine enemies be scattered; And let them that hate thee flee before thy face. Num. 10:35
And when it rested, he said, Return, Jehovah, unto the myriads of the thousands of Israel. Num. 10:36
And it came to pass that when the people murmured, it was evil in the ears of Jehovah; and Jehovah heard it, and his anger was kindled, and the fire of Jehovah burned among them, and consumed some in the extremity of the camp. Num. 11:1
And the people cried to Moses; and Moses prayed to Jehovah -- and the fire abated. Num. 11:2
And they called the name of that place Taberah; because a fire of Jehovah burned among them. Num. 11:3
And the mixed multitude that was among them lusted; and the children of Israel also wept again and said, Who will give us flesh to eat? Num. 11:4
We remember the fish that we ate in Egypt for nothing; the cucumbers, and the melons, and the leeks, and the onions, and the garlic; Num. 11:5
and now our soul is dried up: there is nothing at all but the manna before our eyes. Num. 11:6
And the manna was as coriander seed, and its appearance as the appearance of bdellium. Num. 11:7
The people went about, and gathered it, and ground it with hand-mills, or beat it in mortars, and boiled it in pots, and made cakes of it; and the taste of it was as the taste of oil-cakes. Num. 11:8
And when the dew fell upon the camp by night, the manna fell upon it. Num. 11:9
And Moses heard the people weep throughout their families, every one at the entrance of his tent; and the anger of Jehovah was kindled greatly; it was also evil in the eyes of Moses. Num. 11:10
And Moses said to Jehovah, Why hast thou done evil to thy servant, and why have I not found favour in thine eyes, that thou layest the burden of all this people upon me? Num. 11:11
Have I conceived all this people, have I brought them forth, that thou sayest to me, Carry them in thy bosom, as the nursing-father beareth the suckling, unto the land which thou didst swear unto their fathers? Num. 11:12
And Jehovah said to Moses, Gather unto me seventy men of the elders of Israel, whom thou knowest to be the elders of the people, and their officers; and take them to the tent of meeting, and they shall stand there with thee. Num. 11:16
And I will come down and talk with thee there; and I will take of the Spirit which is upon thee, and will put it upon them; and they shall bear the burden of the people with thee, and thou shalt not bear it alone. Num. 11:17
And unto the people shalt thou say, Hallow yourselves for to-morrow, and ye shall eat flesh; for ye have wept in the ears of Jehovah, saying, Who will give us flesh to eat? for it was well with us in Egypt; and Jehovah will give you flesh, and ye shall eat. Num. 11:18
And Moses said, The people in whose midst I am are six hundred thousand footmen; and thou sayest, I will give them flesh that they may eat a whole month. Num. 11:21
Shall flocks and herds be slaughtered for them, to suffice them? or shall all the fish of the sea be gathered for them, to suffice them? Num. 11:22
And Moses went out and told the people the words of Jehovah; and he gathered the seventy men of the elders of the people, and set them round about the tent. Num. 11:24
And Jehovah came down in a cloud, and spoke to him, and took of the Spirit that was upon him, and put it upon the seventy men, the elders; and it came to pass, that when the Spirit rested on them, they prophesied, but they did not repeat it. Num. 11:25
And two men remained in the camp, the name of the one, Eldad, and the name of the other, Medad; and the Spirit rested upon them (and they were among them that were written, but they had not gone out to the tent); and they prophesied in the camp. Num. 11:26
And there ran a youth, and told Moses, and said, Eldad and Medad are prophesying in the camp. Num. 11:27
And Joshua the son of Nun, the attendant of Moses, one of his young men, answered and said, My lord Moses, forbid them! Num. 11:28
And Moses withdrew into the camp, he and the elders of Israel. Num. 11:30
And there went forth a wind from Jehovah, and drove quails from the sea, and cast them about the camp, about a day's journey on this side, and about a day's journey on the other side, round about the camp, and about two cubits above the earth. Num. 11:31
And the people rose up all that day, and the whole night, and all the next day, and they gathered the quails: he that gathered little gathered ten homers; and they spread them abroad for themselves round about the camp. Num. 11:32
The flesh was yet between their teeth, before it was chewed, when the wrath of Jehovah was kindled against the people, and Jehovah smote the people with a very great plague. Num. 11:33
And they called the name of that place Kibroth-hattaavah; because there they buried the people who lusted. Num. 11:34
From Kibroth-hattaavah the people journeyed to Hazeroth; and they were at Hazeroth. Num. 11:35
And Miriam and Aaron spoke against Moses because of the Ethiopian woman whom he had taken; for he had taken a Cushite as wife. Num. 12:1
But the man Moses was very meek, above all men that were upon the face of the earth. Num. 12:3
Then Jehovah spoke suddenly to Moses, and to Aaron, and to Miriam, Come out ye three unto the tent of meeting. And they went out, they three. Num. 12:4
And Jehovah came down in the pillar of the cloud, and stood at the entrance of the tent, and called Aaron and Miriam; and they both came forth. Num. 12:5
Mouth to mouth do I speak to him openly, and not in riddles; and the form of Jehovah doth he behold. Why then were ye not afraid to speak against my servant, against Moses? Num. 12:8
And the anger of Jehovah was kindled against them, and he went away; Num. 12:9
and the cloud departed from off the tent. And behold, Miriam was leprous as snow; and Aaron turned toward Miriam, and behold, she was leprous. Num. 12:10
And Jehovah said to Moses, But had her father anyways spat in her face, should she not be shamed seven days? She shall be shut outside the camp seven days, and afterwards she shall be received in again. Num. 12:14
And Miriam was shut outside the camp seven days; and the people did not journey till Miriam was received in again. Num. 12:15
And afterwards the people journeyed from Hazeroth, and encamped in the wilderness of Paran. Num. 12:16
Send thou men, that they may search out the land of Canaan, which I give unto the children of Israel. Ye shall send a man of every tribe of his fathers, each a prince among them. Num. 13:2
And Moses sent them from the wilderness of Paran: according to the commandment of Jehovah, all of them heads of the children of Israel. Num. 13:3
And these are their names: for the tribe of Reuben, Shammua the son of Zaccur; Num. 13:4
for the tribe of Simeon, Shaphat the son of Hori; Num. 13:5
for the tribe of Judah, Caleb the son of Jephunneh; Num. 13:6
for the tribe of Issachar, Igal the son of Joseph; Num. 13:7
for the tribe of Ephraim, Hoshea the son of Nun; Num. 13:8
for the tribe of Benjamin, Palti the son of Raphu; Num. 13:9
for the tribe of Zebulun, Gaddiel the son of Sodi; Num. 13:10
for the tribe of Joseph, for the tribe of Manasseh, Gaddi the son of Susi; Num. 13:11
for the tribe of Dan, Ammiel the son of Gemalli; Num. 13:12
for the tribe of Asher, Sethur the son of Michael; Num. 13:13
for the tribe of Naphtali, Nahbi the son of Vophsi; Num. 13:14
for the tribe of Gad, Geuel the son of Machi. Num. 13:15
These are the names of the men whom Moses sent to search out the land. And Moses called Hoshea the son of Nun, Jehoshua. Num. 13:16
And Moses sent them to search out the land of Canaan, and said to them, Go up this way by the south and go up into the hill-country, Num. 13:17
and ye shall see the land, what it is; and the people that dwell in it, whether they are strong or weak, few or many; Num. 13:18
and what the land is that they dwell in, whether it is good or bad; and what cities they are that they dwell in, whether in camps, or in strongholds; Num. 13:19
and what the land is, whether it is fat or lean, whether there are trees in it, or not. And take courage, and bring of the fruit of the land. Now the time was the time of the first grapes. Num. 13:20
And they went up, and searched out the land from the wilderness of Zin to Rehob, where one comes towards Hamath. Num. 13:21
And they went up by the south, and came to Hebron; and Ahiman, Sheshai, and Talmai, the children of Anak, were there. Now Hebron had been built seven years before Zoan in Egypt. Num. 13:22
And they came as far as the valley of Eshcol, and cut down thence a branch with one bunch of grapes, and they bore it between two upon a pole; and they brought of the pomegranates, and of the figs. Num. 13:23
That place was called the valley of Eshcol, because of the grapes which the children of Israel had cut down there. Num. 13:24
And they returned from searching out the land after forty days. Num. 13:25
And they came, and went to Moses and to Aaron, and to the whole assembly of the children of Israel, to the wilderness of Paran, to Kadesh; and brought back word to them, and to the whole assembly; and shewed them the fruit of the land. Num. 13:26
And they told him, and said, We came to the land to which thou didst send us, and surely it floweth with milk and honey; and this is the fruit of it. Num. 13:27
Only, the people are strong that dwell in the land, and the cities are walled, very great; moreover we saw the children of Anak there. Num. 13:28
Amalek dwells in the land of the south; and the Hittites, and the Jebusites, and the Amorites dwell in the hill-country; and the Canaanites dwell by the sea, and by the side of the Jordan. Num. 13:29
And Caleb stilled the people before Moses, and said, Let us go up boldly and possess it, for we are well able to do it. Num. 13:30
But the men that went up with him said, We are not able to go up against the people, for they are stronger than we. Num. 13:31
And they brought to the children of Israel an evil report of the land which they had searched out, saying, The land, which we have passed through to search it out, is a land that eateth up its inhabitants; and all the people that we have seen in it are men of great stature; Num. 13:32
and there have we seen giants -- the sons of Anak are of the giants -- and we were in our sight as grasshoppers, and so we were also in their sight. Num. 13:33
And the whole assembly lifted up their voice, and cried; and the people wept that night. Num. 14:1
And all the children of Israel murmured against Moses and against Aaron; and the whole assembly said to them, Would that we had died in the land of Egypt! or in this wilderness would that we had died! Num. 14:2
And why is Jehovah bringing us to this land that we may fall by the sword, that our wives and our little ones may become a prey? Is it not better for us to return to Egypt? Num. 14:3
Then Moses and Aaron fell upon their faces before the whole congregation of the assembly of the children of Israel. Num. 14:5
And Joshua the son of Nun, and Caleb the son of Jephunneh, of them that searched out the land, rent their garments. Num. 14:6
And they spoke to the whole assembly of the children of Israel, saying, The land, which we passed through to search it out, is a very, very good land. Num. 14:7
only rebel not against Jehovah; and fear not the people of the land; for they shall be our food. Their defence is departed from them, and Jehovah is with us: fear them not. Num. 14:9
And the whole assembly said that they should be stoned with stones. And the glory of Jehovah appeared in the tent of meeting to all the children of Israel. Num. 14:10
And Jehovah said to Moses, How long will this people despise me? and how long will they not believe me, for all the signs which I have done among them? Num. 14:11
I will smite them with the pestilence, and destroy them, and will make of thee a nation greater and mightier than they. Num. 14:12
And Moses said to Jehovah, Then the Egyptians will hear it; for in thy might thou broughtest up this people from the midst of them; Num. 14:13
and they will tell it to the inhabitants of this land, who have heard that thou, Jehovah, art in the midst of this people, that thou, Jehovah, lettest thyself be seen eye to eye, and that thy cloud standeth over them, and that thou goest before them, in a pillar of cloud by day, and in a pillar of fire by night; Num. 14:14
if thou now slayest this people as one man, then the nations that have heard thy fame will speak, saying, Num. 14:15
Because Jehovah was not able to bring this people into the land that he had sworn unto them, he has therefore slain them in the wilderness. Num. 14:16
And now, I beseech thee, let the power of the Lord be great, according as thou hast spoken, saying, Num. 14:17
Jehovah is slow to anger, and abundant in goodness, forgiving iniquity and transgression, but by no means clearing the guilty, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children, upon the third and fourth generation. Num. 14:18
Pardon, I beseech thee, the iniquity of this people according to the greatness of thy loving-kindness, and as thou hast forgiven this people, from Egypt even until now. Num. 14:19
But as surely as I live, all the earth shall be filled with the glory of Jehovah! Num. 14:21
for all those men who have seen my glory, and my signs, which I did in Egypt and in the wilderness, and have tempted me these ten times, and have not hearkened to my voice, Num. 14:22
shall in no wise see the land which I did swear unto their fathers: none of them that despised me shall see it. Num. 14:23
But my servant Caleb, because he hath another spirit in him, and hath followed me fully, him will I bring into the land whereinto he came; and his seed shall possess it. Num. 14:24
(Now the Amalekites and the Canaanites dwell in the valley.) To-morrow turn you, and take your journey into the wilderness, on the way to the Red sea. Num. 14:25
How long shall I bear with this evil assembly, which murmur against me? I have heard the murmurings of the children of Israel, which they murmur against me. Num. 14:27
shall in no wise come into the land, concerning which I have lifted up my hand to make you dwell in it; save Caleb the son of Jephunneh, and Joshua the son of Nun. Num. 14:30
But your little ones, of whom ye said they should be a prey, them will I bring in, and they shall know the land that ye have despised. Num. 14:31
And your children shall wander in the wilderness forty years, and bear your whoredoms, until your carcases be wasted in the wilderness. Num. 14:33
After the number of the days in which ye have searched out the land, forty days, each day for a year shall ye bear your iniquities forty years, and ye shall know mine estrangement from you. Num. 14:34
And the men whom Moses had sent to search out the land, who returned, and made the whole assembly to murmur against him, by bringing up an evil report upon the land, Num. 14:36
even those men who had brought up an evil report upon the land, died by a plague before Jehovah. Num. 14:37
But Joshua the son of Nun, and Caleb the son of Jephunneh, lived still of the men that had gone to search out the land. Num. 14:38
And Moses told all these sayings to all the children of Israel; then the people mourned greatly. Num. 14:39
And they rose up early in the morning, and went up to the hill-top, saying, Here are we, and we will go up to the place of which Jehovah has spoken; for we have sinned. Num. 14:40
And Moses said, Why now do ye transgress the commandment of Jehovah? but it shall not prosper! Num. 14:41
for the Amalekites and the Canaanites are there before you, and ye shall fall by the sword; for as ye have turned away from Jehovah, Jehovah will not be with you. Num. 14:43
Yet they presumed to go up to the hill-top; but the ark of the covenant of Jehovah, and Moses, did not depart from the midst of the camp. Num. 14:44
And the Amalekites and the Canaanites who dwelt on that hill, came down and smote them, and cut them to pieces, as far as Hormah. Num. 14:45
Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When ye come into the land of your dwellings, which I give unto you, Num. 15:2
and will make an offering by fire to Jehovah, a burnt-offering or a sacrifice for the performance of a vow, or as a voluntary offering, or in your set feasts, to make a sweet odour to Jehovah, of the herd or of the flock, Num. 15:3
and of wine for a drink-offering shalt thou offer the fourth part of a hin with the burnt-offering, or with the sacrifice, for one lamb. Num. 15:5
and of wine for a drink-offering shalt thou offer the third part of a hin; for a sweet odour to Jehovah. Num. 15:7
And when thou offerest a bullock for a burnt-offering, or a sacrifice for the performance of a vow, or for a peace-offering to Jehovah, Num. 15:8
then shall they present with the bullock as oblation three tenth parts of fine flour mingled with half a hin of oil; Num. 15:9
according to the number that ye offer, so shall ye do to every one according to their number. Num. 15:12
And all that are born in the land shall do these things thus, in presenting an offering by fire of a sweet odour to Jehovah. Num. 15:13
As to the congregation, there shall be one statute for you, and for the stranger that sojourneth with you, an everlasting statute throughout your generations: as ye are, so shall the stranger be, before Jehovah. Num. 15:15
One law and one ordinance shall be for you, and for the stranger that sojourneth with you. Num. 15:16
Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When ye come into the land whither I bring you, Num. 15:18
then it shall be, when ye eat of the bread of the land, that ye shall offer a heave-offering to Jehovah; Num. 15:19
the first of your dough shall ye offer, a cake, for a heave-offering; as the heave-offering of the threshing-floor, so shall ye offer this. Num. 15:20
Of the first of your dough ye shall give to Jehovah a heave-offering throughout your generations. Num. 15:21
all that Jehovah hath commanded you through Moses, from the day that Jehovah gave commandment, and henceforward throughout your generations; Num. 15:23
then it shall be, if ought be committed by inadvertence hid from the eyes of the assembly, that the whole assembly shall offer one young bullock for a burnt-offering, for a sweet odour to Jehovah, and its oblation and its drink-offering according to the ordinance, and one buck of the goats for a sin-offering. Num. 15:24
And the priest shall make atonement for the whole assembly of the children of Israel, and it shall be forgiven them; for it was a sin of inadvertence, and they have brought before Jehovah their offering, as an offering by fire to Jehovah, and their sin-offering for their sin of inadvertence; Num. 15:25
and it shall be forgiven the whole assembly of the children of Israel, and the stranger that sojourneth among them; for with all the people there was a sin of inadvertence. Num. 15:26
And the priest shall make atonement for the soul that hath done inadvertently, when he sinneth by inadvertence before Jehovah, to make atonement for him; and it shall be forgiven him. Num. 15:28
For him that is born in the land among the children of Israel, and for the stranger that sojourneth among them -- there shall be one law for you, for him who doeth anything through inadvertence. Num. 15:29
But the soul that doeth ought with a high hand, whether born in the land, or a stranger, he reproacheth Jehovah; and that soul shall be cut off from among his people. Num. 15:30
For he hath despised the word of Jehovah, and hath broken his commandment: that soul shall surely be cut off; his iniquity is upon him. Num. 15:31
And while the children of Israel were in the wilderness they found a man gathering sticks on the sabbath day. Num. 15:32
And they that found him gathering sticks brought him to Moses and Aaron, and to the whole assembly. Num. 15:33
And Jehovah said to Moses, The man shall certainly be put to death: the whole assembly shall stone him with stones outside the camp. Num. 15:35
And the whole assembly led him outside the camp, and stoned him with stones, and he died, as Jehovah had commanded Moses. Num. 15:36
Speak unto the children of Israel, and bid them that they make them tassels on the corners of their garments, throughout their generations, and that they attach to the tassel of the corners a lace of blue; Num. 15:38
and it shall be unto you for a tassel, that ye may look upon it, and remember all the commandments of Jehovah, and do them; and that ye seek not after the lusts of your own heart and your own eyes, after which ye go a whoring; Num. 15:39
I am Jehovah your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt to be your God: I am Jehovah your God. Num. 15:41
And Korah, the son of Izhar, the son of Kohath, the son of Levi, made bold, and with him Dathan and Abiram, the sons of Eliab, and On, the son of Peleth, the sons of Reuben; Num. 16:1
and they rose up against Moses, with two hundred and fifty men of the children of Israel, princes of the assembly, summoned to the council, men of renown; Num. 16:2
and they gathered themselves together against Moses and against Aaron, and said to them, It is enough; for all the assembly, all of them are holy, and Jehovah is among them; and why do ye lift up yourselves above the congregation of Jehovah? Num. 16:3
and put fire therein, and lay incense thereon before Jehovah to-morrow; and it shall be that the man whom Jehovah doth choose, he shall be holy. It is enough, ye sons of Levi! Num. 16:7
Is it too little for you, that the God of Israel has separated you from the assembly of Israel, to bring you near to himself to do the work of the tabernacle of Jehovah, and to stand before the assembly to minister to them? Num. 16:9
-- that he has brought thee near, and all thy brethren the sons of Levi with thee; and seek ye now the priesthood also? Num. 16:10
And Moses sent to call Dathan and Abiram, the sons of Eliab; but they said, We will not come up! Num. 16:12
Is it a small thing that thou hast brought us up out of a land flowing with milk and honey, to kill us in the wilderness, that thou must make thyself altogether a ruler over us? Num. 16:13
Moreover, thou hast not brought us into a land flowing with milk and honey, or given us inheritance of fields and vineyards: wilt thou put out the eyes of these men? we will not come up! Num. 16:14
And they took each his censer, and put fire on them, and laid incense thereon, and stood before the entrance to the tent of meeting, as well as Moses and Aaron. Num. 16:18
And Korah gathered the whole assembly against them to the entrance of the tent of meeting. And the glory of Jehovah appeared to all the assembly. Num. 16:19
Separate yourselves from the midst of this assembly, and I will consume them in a moment. Num. 16:21
And they fell on their faces, and said, O *God, the God of the spirits of all flesh! shall *one* man sin, and wilt thou be wroth with the whole assembly? Num. 16:22
Speak unto the assembly, saying, Get you up from about the habitation of Korah, Dathan, and Abiram. Num. 16:24
And Moses rose up and went to Dathan and Abiram; and the elders of Israel followed him. Num. 16:25
And he spoke to the assembly, saying, Depart, I pray you, from the tents of these wicked men, and touch nothing of theirs, lest ye perish in all their sins. Num. 16:26
And they got up from the habitation of Koran, Dathan, and Abiram, on every side. And Dathan and Abiram came out, and stood in the entrance of their tents, and their wives, and their sons, and their little ones. Num. 16:27
if these men die as all men die, and are visited with the visitation of all men, Jehovah has not sent me; Num. 16:29
but if Jehovah make a new thing, and the ground open its mouth, and swallow them up, and all that they have, and they go down alive into Sheol, then ye shall know that these men have despised Jehovah. Num. 16:30
And it came to pass when he had ended speaking all these words, that the ground clave apart that was under them. Num. 16:31
And the earth opened its mouth, and swallowed them up, and their households, and all the men that belonged to Korah, and all their property. Num. 16:32
And they went down, they and all that they had, alive into Sheol, and the earth covered them; and they perished from among the congregation. Num. 16:33
And all Israel that were round about them fled at their cry; for they said, Lest the earth swallow us up! Num. 16:34
And there came out a fire from Jehovah, and consumed the two hundred and fifty men that had presented incense. Num. 16:35
Speak to Eleazar the son of Aaron the priest, that he take up the censers out of the burning; and scatter the fire afar; for they are hallowed, Num. 16:37
the censers of these sinners who have forfeited their life; and they shall make them into broad plates for the covering of the altar; for they presented them before Jehovah, therefore they are hallowed; and they shall be a sign unto the children of Israel. Num. 16:38
And Eleazar the priest took the copper censers, which they that were burnt had presented; and they were made broad plates for a covering of the altar: Num. 16:39
as a memorial to the children of Israel, that no stranger who is not of the seed of Aaron come near to burn incense before Jehovah, that he be not as Korah, and as his band, -- as Jehovah had said to him through Moses. Num. 16:40
And the whole assembly of the children of Israel murmured on the morrow against Moses and against Aaron, saying, Ye have killed the people of Jehovah. Num. 16:41
And it came to pass, when the assembly was gathered together against Moses and against Aaron, that they looked toward the tent of meeting, and behold, the cloud covered it, and the glory of Jehovah appeared. Num. 16:42
And Moses and Aaron went before the tent of meeting. Num. 16:43
Get you up from the midst of this assembly, and I will consume them in a moment. And they fell on their faces. Num. 16:45
And Moses said to Aaron, Take the censer, and put fire thereon from off the altar, and lay on incense, and carry it quickly to the assembly, and make atonement for them; for there is wrath gone out from Jehovah: the plague is begun. Num. 16:46
And Aaron took as Moses had said, and ran into the midst of the congregation; and behold, the plague had begun among the people; and he put on incense, and made atonement for the people. Num. 16:47
And he stood between the dead and the living; and the plague was stayed. Num. 16:48
Now they that died in the plague were fourteen thousand seven hundred, besides them that had died because of the matter of Korah. Num. 16:49
And Aaron returned to Moses to the entrance of the tent of meeting; and the plague was stayed. Num. 16:50
Speak unto the children of Israel, and take of them a staff, a staff for each father's house, of all their princes according to the houses of their fathers, twelve staves: thou shalt write each one's name upon his staff. Num. 17:2
And Aaron's name shalt thou write upon the staff of Levi; for one staff shall be for each head of their fathers' houses. Num. 17:3
And thou shalt lay them up in the tent of meeting before the testimony, where I meet with you. Num. 17:4
And it shall come to pass, that the man whom I shall choose, his staff shall bud forth; and I will make to cease from before me the murmurings of the children of Israel, that they murmur against you. Num. 17:5
And Moses spoke to the children of Israel, and all their princes gave him a staff, one staff for each prince according to their fathers' houses, twelve staves, and the staff of Aaron was among their staves. Num. 17:6
And Moses laid the staves before Jehovah in the tent of the testimony. Num. 17:7
And it came to pass, when on the morrow Moses went into the tent of the testimony, behold, the staff of Aaron for the house of Levi had budded, and brought forth buds, and bloomed blossoms, and ripened almonds. Num. 17:8
And Moses brought out all the staves from before Jehovah to all the children of Israel, and they looked and took each one his staff. Num. 17:9
And Jehovah said to Moses, Bring Aaron's staff again before the testimony, to be kept as a token for the sons of rebellion, that thou mayest put an end to their murmurings before me, that they may not die. Num. 17:10
And the children of Israel spoke to Moses, saying, Lo, we expire, we perish, we all perish. Num. 17:12
Every one that comes at all near to the tabernacle of Jehovah shall die: shall we then expire altogether? Num. 17:13
And Jehovah said to Aaron, Thou and thy sons and thy father's house with thee shall bear the iniquity of the sanctuary; and thou and thy sons with thee shall bear the iniquity of your priesthood. Num. 18:1
And thy brethren also, the tribe of Levi, the tribe of thy father, bring near with thee, that they may unite with thee, and minister unto thee; but thou and thy sons with thee shall serve before the tent of the testimony. Num. 18:2
And they shall keep thy charge, and the charge of the whole tent: only they shall not come near to the vessels of the sanctuary and to the altar, that they may not die, and you as well as they. Num. 18:3
And they shall unite with thee, and keep the charge of the tent of meeting, for all the service of the tent; and no stranger shall come near to you. Num. 18:4
And ye shall keep the charge of the sanctuary, and the charge of the altar; that there come no wrath any more upon the children of Israel. Num. 18:5
And I, behold, I have taken your brethren, the Levites, from among the children of Israel; to you are they given as a gift for Jehovah to perform the service of the tent of meeting. Num. 18:6
But thou and thy sons with thee shall attend to your priesthood for all that concerneth the altar, and for that which is inside the veil; and ye shall perform the service: I give you your priesthood as a service of gift, and the stranger that cometh near shall be put to death. Num. 18:7
And Jehovah spoke to Aaron, And I, behold, I have given thee the charge of my heave-offerings, of all the hallowed things of the children of Israel; to thee have I given them, because of the anointing, and to thy sons by an everlasting statute. Num. 18:8
This shall be thine of the most holy things, reserved from the fire: every offering of theirs, of all their oblations, and of all their sin-offerings, and of all their trespass-offerings, which they render unto me, it is most holy for thee and for thy sons. Num. 18:9
And this shall be thine: the heave-offering of their gift, with all the wave-offerings of the children of Israel; I have given them unto thee, and to thy sons and to thy daughters with thee, by an everlasting statute; every one that is clean in thy house shall eat of it. Num. 18:11
All the best of the oil, and all the best of the new wine, and of the wheat, the firstfruits of them which they give to Jehovah, have I given thee. Num. 18:12
The first ripe of everything that is in their land, which they shall bring to Jehovah, shall be thine; every one that is clean in thy house shall eat of it. Num. 18:13
Everything that breaketh open the womb of all flesh, which they present to Jehovah, of men or of beasts, shall be thine; nevertheless the firstborn of man shalt thou in any case ransom, and the firstborn of unclean beasts shalt thou ransom. Num. 18:15
And those that are to be ransomed from a month old shalt thou ransom, according to thy valuation, for the money of five shekels, after the shekel of the sanctuary, which is twenty gerahs. Num. 18:16
But the firstborn of a cow, or the firstborn of a sheep, or the firstborn of a goat, thou shalt not ransom: they are holy. Thou shalt sprinkle their blood on the altar, and their fat shalt thou burn as an offering by fire for a sweet odour to Jehovah. Num. 18:17
And their flesh shall be thine; as the wave-breast and as the right shoulder shall it be thine. Num. 18:18
All the heave-offerings of the holy things, which the children of Israel offer to Jehovah, have I given thee, and to thy sons and to thy daughters with thee, by an everlasting statute: it shall be an everlasting covenant of salt before Jehovah unto thee and thy seed with thee. Num. 18:19
And Jehovah said to Aaron, In their land thou shalt have no inheritance, neither shalt thou have any portion among them: I am thy portion and thine inheritance among the children of Israel. Num. 18:20
And to the children of Levi, behold, I have given all the tithes in Israel for an inheritance, for their service which they perform, the service of the tent of meeting. Num. 18:21
Neither shall the children of Israel henceforth come near the tent of meeting, to bear sin and die. Num. 18:22
But the Levite, he shall perform the service of the tent of meeting, and they shall bear their iniquity: it is an everlasting statute throughout your generations. And among the children of Israel shall they possess no inheritance; Num. 18:23
for I have given for an inheritance to the Levites the tithes of the children of Israel, which they offer as a heave-offering to Jehovah; therefore I have said of them, They shall possess no inheritance among the children of Israel. Num. 18:24
And to the Levites shalt thou speak, and say unto them, When ye take of the children of Israel the tithes which I have given you from them for your inheritance, then ye shall offer a heave-offering from it for Jehovah, the tenth of the tithe. Num. 18:26
And your heave-offering shall be reckoned unto you, as the corn from the threshing-floor, and as the fulness of the winepress. Num. 18:27
Thus ye also shall offer Jehovah's heave-offering of all your tithes, which ye take of the children of Israel; and ye shall give thereof Jehovah's heave-offering to Aaron the priest. Num. 18:28
Out of all that is given you ye shall offer the whole heave-offering of Jehovah, -- of all the best thereof the hallowed part thereof. Num. 18:29
And thou shalt say unto them, When ye heave the best thereof from it, then it shall be counted unto the Levites as produce of the threshing-floor, and as produce of the winepress. Num. 18:30
And ye shall eat it in every place, ye and your households; for it is your reward for your service in the tent of meeting. Num. 18:31
And ye shall bear no sin by reason of it, if ye heave from it the best of it; and ye shall not profane the holy things of the children of Israel, lest ye die. Num. 18:32
This is the statute of the law which Jehovah hath commanded, saying, Speak unto the children of Israel, that they bring thee a red heifer without blemish, wherein is no defect, and upon which never came yoke; Num. 19:2
and ye shall give it to Eleazar the priest, and he shall bring it outside the camp, and one shall slaughter it before him. Num. 19:3
And Eleazar the priest shall take of its blood with his finger, and shall sprinkle of its blood directly before the tent of meeting seven times. Num. 19:4
And one shall burn the heifer before his eyes; its skin and its flesh, and its blood, with its dung, shall he burn. Num. 19:5
And the priest shall take cedar-wood, and hyssop, and scarlet, and cast them into the midst of the burning of the heifer. Num. 19:6
And the priest shall wash his garments, and he shall bathe his flesh in water, and afterwards he shall come into the camp; and the priest shall be unclean until the even; Num. 19:7
and he that hath burned it shall wash his garments in water, and bathe his flesh in water, and shall be unclean until the even. Num. 19:8
And a clean man shall gather the ashes of the heifer, and deposit them outside the camp in a clean place, and it shall be kept for the assembly of the children of Israel for a water of separation: it is a purification for sin. Num. 19:9
And he that hath gathered the ashes of the heifer shall wash his clothes, and be unclean until the even. And it shall be unto the children of Israel, and unto the stranger that sojourneth among them, an everlasting statute. Num. 19:10
He shall purify himself with it on the third day, and on the seventh day he shall be clean; but if he purify not himself the third day, then the seventh day he shall not be clean. Num. 19:12
Whoever toucheth a dead person, the dead body of a man that is dead, and purifieth not himself, defileth the tabernacle of Jehovah; and that soul shall be cut off from Israel; for the water of separation was not sprinkled upon him: he shall be unclean; his uncleanness is yet upon him. Num. 19:13
This is the law, when a man dieth in a tent: every one that cometh into the tent, and all that is in the tent, shall be unclean seven days. Num. 19:14
And every one that toucheth one that is slain with a sword in the open fields, or a dead person, or the bone of a man, or a grave, shall be unclean seven days. Num. 19:16
And they shall take for the unclean of the ashes of the purification-offering that hath been burned, and shall put running water thereon in a vessel; Num. 19:17
and a clean man shall take hyssop, and dip it in the water, and sprinkle it on the tent, and upon all the utensils, and upon the persons that were there, and upon him that hath touched the bone, or the one slain, or the dead person, or the grave; Num. 19:18
and the clean shall sprinkle it on the unclean on the third day, and on the seventh day; and he shall purify him on the seventh day; and he shall wash his garments, and bathe himself in water, and shall be clean at even. Num. 19:19
And the man that is unclean, and doth not purify himself, that soul shall be cut off from the midst of the congregation, for he hath defiled the sanctuary of Jehovah: the water of separation hath not been sprinkled on him: he is unclean. Num. 19:20
And it shall be an everlasting statute unto them. And he that sprinkleth the water of separation shall wash his garments, and he that toucheth the water of separation shall be unclean until even. Num. 19:21
And whatever the unclean person toucheth shall be unclean; and the soul that toucheth it shall be unclean until even. Num. 19:22
And the children of Israel, the whole assembly, came into the wilderness of Zin, in the first month; and the people abode at Kadesh; and Miriam died there, and was buried there. Num. 20:1
And there was no water for the assembly, and they gathered themselves together against Moses and against Aaron. Num. 20:2
And the people contended with Moses, and spoke, saying, Would that we had died when our brethren died before Jehovah! Num. 20:3
And why have ye brought the congregation of Jehovah into this wilderness, that we should die there, we and our beasts? Num. 20:4
And Moses and Aaron went from before the congregation to the entrance of the tent of meeting, and fell upon their faces; and the glory of Jehovah appeared to them. Num. 20:6
Take the staff, and gather the assembly together, thou, and Aaron thy brother, and speak ye unto the rock before their eyes, and it shall give its water; and thou shalt bring forth to them water out of the rock, and shalt give the assembly and their beasts drink. Num. 20:8
And Moses took the staff from before Jehovah, as he had commanded him. Num. 20:9
And Moses and Aaron gathered the congregation together before the rock, and he said to them, Hear now, ye rebels: shall we bring forth to you water out of this rock? Num. 20:10
And Moses lifted up his hand, and with his staff smote the rock twice, and much water came out, and the assembly drank, and their beasts. Num. 20:11
And Jehovah said to Moses and to Aaron, Because ye believed me not, to hallow me before the eyes of the children of Israel, therefore ye shall not bring this congregation into the land that I have given them. Num. 20:12
These are the waters of Meribah, where the children of Israel contended with Jehovah, and he hallowed himself in them. Num. 20:13
And Moses sent messengers from Kadesh to the king of Edom, Thus says thy brother Israel: Thou knowest all the trouble that hath befallen us, Num. 20:14
how our fathers went down to Egypt, and we dwelt in Egypt a long time, and the Egyptians evil entreated us and our fathers; Num. 20:15
and when we cried to Jehovah, he heard our voice, and sent an angel, and brought us forth out of Egypt; and behold, we are at Kadesh, a city at the extremity of thy border. Num. 20:16
Let us pass, I pray thee, through thy country; we will not pass through fields, or through vineyards, neither will we drink water out of the wells: we will go by the king's road; we will not turn to the right hand nor to the left, until we have passed thy border. Num. 20:17
But Edom said to him, Thou shalt not pass by me, lest I come out against thee with the sword. Num. 20:18
And the children of Israel said to him, We will go by the high way; and if we drink of thy water, I and my cattle, then I will pay for it: I will only, without anything else, go through on my feet. Num. 20:19
And they removed from Kadesh; and the children of Israel, the whole assembly, came to mount Hor. Num. 20:22
And Jehovah spoke to Moses and to Aaron in mount Hor, on the border of the land of Edom, saying, Num. 20:23
Aaron shall be gathered unto his peoples; for he shall not enter into the land that I have given unto the children of Israel, because ye rebelled against my commandment at the waters of Meribah. Num. 20:24
And Moses did as Jehovah had commanded, and they went up mount Hor before the eyes of the whole assembly. Num. 20:27
And Moses stripped Aaron of his garments, and put them upon Eleazar his son; and Aaron died there upon the top of the mountain; and Moses and Eleazar came down from the mountain. Num. 20:28
And the whole assembly saw that Aaron was dead, and they mourned for Aaron thirty days, even the whole house of Israel. Num. 20:29
And the Canaanite king of Arad, who dwelt in the south, heard that Israel came by the way of Atharim, and he fought against Israel, and took some of them prisoners. Num. 21:1
And Jehovah listened to the voice of Israel, and delivered up the Canaanites; and they utterly destroyed them, and their cities. And they called the name of the place Hormah. Num. 21:3
And they journeyed from mount Hor by the way of the Red sea, to go round the land of Edom; and the soul of the people became impatient on the way; Num. 21:4
and the people spoke against God, and against Moses, Why have ye brought us up out of Egypt that we should die in the wilderness? for there is no bread, and no water, and our soul loathes this light bread. Num. 21:5
Then Jehovah sent fiery serpents among the people, which bit the people; and much people of Israel died. Num. 21:6
And the people came to Moses and said, We have sinned, in that we have spoken against Jehovah, and against thee: pray to Jehovah that he take away the serpents from us. And Moses prayed for the people. Num. 21:7
And Moses made a serpent of brass, and put it upon a pole; and it came to pass, if a serpent had bitten any man, and he beheld the serpent of brass, he lived. Num. 21:9
And the children of Israel journeyed, and encamped in Oboth. Num. 21:10
And they removed from Oboth, and encamped at Ijim-Abarim, in the wilderness that is before Moab, toward the sun-rising. Num. 21:11
From thence they removed, and encamped at the torrent Zered. Num. 21:12
From thence they removed, and encamped on the other side of the Arnon, which is in the wilderness that comes out of the border of the Amorites. For the Arnon is the border of Moab, between Moab and the Amorites. Num. 21:13
Therefore it is said in the book of the wars of Jehovah, Vaheb in Suphah, and the brooks of Arnon; Num. 21:14
And the stream of the brooks which turneth to the dwelling of Ar, And inclineth toward the border of Moab. Num. 21:15
And from thence to Beer: that is the well of which Jehovah spoke to Moses, Assemble the people, and I will give them water. Num. 21:16
Well which princes digged, which the nobles of the people hollowed out at the word of the lawgiver, with their staves. And from the wilderness they went to Mattanah; Num. 21:18
and from Bamoth to the valley that is in the fields of Moab, to the top of Pisgah, which looks over the surface of the waste. Num. 21:20
And Israel sent messengers to Sihon king of the Amorites, saying, Num. 21:21
Let us pass through thy land; we will not turn into the fields, or into the vineyards; we will not drink water out of the wells; on the king's road will we go until we have passed thy border. Num. 21:22
But Sihon would not suffer Israel to go through his border; and Sihon gathered all his people, and went out against Israel into the wilderness, and came to Jahaz, and fought against Israel. Num. 21:23
And Israel smote him with the edge of the sword, and took possession of his land from the Arnon to the Jabbok, even unto the children of Ammon; for the border of the children of Ammon was strong. Num. 21:24
And Israel took all these cities, and Israel dwelt in all the cities of the Amorites, at Heshbon, and in all its dependent villages. Num. 21:25
For Heshbon was the city of Sihon the king of the Amorites; and he had fought against the former king of Moab, and had taken all his land out of his hand, even unto the Arnon. Num. 21:26
Therefore the poets say, Come to Heshbon; let the city of Sihon be built and established. Num. 21:27
For there went forth fire from Heshbon, a flame from the city of Sihon; It consumed Ar of Moab, the lords of the high places of the Arnon. Num. 21:28
Woe to thee, Moab! thou art undone, people of Chemosh: He gave his sons that had escaped, and his daughters into captivity to Sihon the king of the Amorites. Num. 21:29
And Israel dwelt in the land of the Amorites. Num. 21:31
And Moses sent to spy out Jaazer, and they took its dependent villages, and he dispossessed the Amorites that were there. Num. 21:32
And they turned and went up by the way to Bashan; and Og the king of Bashan went out against them, he and all his people, for battle to Edrei. Num. 21:33
And Jehovah said to Moses, Fear him not! for into thy hand have I given him, and all his people, and his land; and thou shalt do to him as thou didst unto Sihon the king of the Amorites, who dwelt at Heshbon. Num. 21:34
And the children of Israel journeyed, and encamped in the plains of Moab on the other side of the Jordan from Jericho. Num. 22:1
And Balak the son of Zippor saw all that Israel had done to the Amorites. Num. 22:2
And Moab was much afraid of the people, because they were many; and Moab was distressed because of the children of Israel. Num. 22:3
And Moab said to the elders of Midian, Now will this company lick up all that is round about us, as an ox licks up the green herb of the field. Now Balak the son of Zippor was king of Moab at that time. Num. 22:4
And he sent messengers to Balaam the son of Beor, to Pethor, which is on the river in the land of the children of his people, to call him, saying, Behold, a people is come out from Egypt; behold, they cover the face of the land, and they abide over against me. Num. 22:5
And now come, I pray thee, curse me this people; for they are mightier than I: perhaps I may be able to smite them, and drive them out of the land; for I know that he whom thou blessest is blessed, and he whom thou cursest is cursed. Num. 22:6
And the elders of Moab and the elders of Midian departed, having the rewards of divination in their hand. And they came to Balaam, and spoke to him the words of Balak. Num. 22:7
And he said to them, Lodge here this night, and I will bring you word again, according as Jehovah shall speak unto me. And the princes of Moab abode with Balaam. Num. 22:8
And Balaam said to God, Balak the son of Zippor, king of Moab, hath sent unto me, Num. 22:10
Behold, a people is come out of Egypt, and it covers the face of the land. Now come, curse me them: perhaps I may be able to fight against them, and drive them out. Num. 22:11
And God said to Balaam, Thou shalt not go with them; thou shalt not curse the people; for they are blessed. Num. 22:12
And Balaam rose up in the morning, and said to the princes of Balak, Go into your land; for Jehovah refuses to give me leave to go with you. Num. 22:13
And the princes of Moab rose up; and they went to Balak, and said, Balaam has refused to come with us. Num. 22:14
And they came to Balaam, and said to him, Thus says Balak the son of Zippor: Suffer not thyself, I pray thee, to be restrained from coming to me; Num. 22:16
And Balaam answered and said to the servants of Balak, If Balak give me his house full of silver and gold, I could not go beyond the commandment of Jehovah my God, to do less or more. Num. 22:18
Then God came to Balaam at night, and said to him, If the men have come to call thee, rise up, and go with them; but only what I shall say unto thee shalt thou do. Num. 22:20
And Balaam rose up in the morning, and saddled his ass, and went with the princes of Moab. Num. 22:21
And God's anger was kindled because he went; and the Angel of Jehovah set himself in the way to withstand him. Now he was riding upon his ass, and his two young men were with him. Num. 22:22
And the ass saw the Angel of Jehovah standing in the way, and his sword drawn in his hand; and the ass turned aside out of the way, and went into the field, and Balaam smote the ass to turn her into the way. Num. 22:23
And the Angel of Jehovah stood in a hollow of the vineyards, a wall being on this side, and a wall on that side. Num. 22:24
And the ass saw the Angel of Jehovah, and she pressed herself against the wall, and crushed Balaam's foot against the wall; and he smote her again. Num. 22:25
Then the Angel of Jehovah went still further, and stood in a narrow place, where was no way to turn either to the right hand or to the left. Num. 22:26
And the ass saw the Angel of Jehovah, and lay down under Balaam; and Balaam's anger was kindled, and he smote the ass with his staff. Num. 22:27
And Jehovah opened the mouth of the ass, and she said to Balaam, What have I done to thee, that thou hast smitten me these three times? Num. 22:28
And Balaam said to the ass, Because thou hast mocked me: I would there were a sword in my hand, for now would I kill thee! Num. 22:29
And the ass said to Balaam, Am not I thine ass, upon which thou hast ridden ever since I was thine to this day? was I ever wont to do so to thee? And he said, No. Num. 22:30
Then Jehovah opened the eyes of Balaam, and he saw the Angel of Jehovah standing in the way, and his sword drawn in his hand; and he bowed and prostrated himself on his face. Num. 22:31
And the Angel of Jehovah said to him, Wherefore hast thou smitten thine ass these three times? behold, it was I who came forth to withstand thee, for the way thou walkest in is for ruin before me. Num. 22:32
And the ass saw me, and turned from me these three times; had she not turned from me, I had now certainly slain thee, and saved her alive. Num. 22:33
And Balaam said to the Angel of Jehovah, I have sinned; for I knew not that thou stoodest in the way against me; and now, if it be evil in thine eyes, I will get me back again. Num. 22:34
And the Angel of Jehovah said to Balaam, Go with the men, but only the word that I shall speak unto thee, that shalt thou speak. And Balaam went with the princes of Balak. Num. 22:35
And when Balak heard that Balaam came, he went out to meet him, to the city of Moab, which is on the border of the Arnon, which is at the extremity of the border. Num. 22:36
And Balaam said to Balak, Lo, I am come to thee; but shall I now be able at all to say anything? the word that God puts in my mouth, that shall I speak. Num. 22:38
And Balak offered oxen and small cattle, and sent to Balaam and to the princes that were with him. Num. 22:40
And it came to pass on the morrow, that Balak took Balaam, and brought him up to the high places of Baal, and he saw from thence the extremity of the people. Num. 22:41
And he returned to him, and behold, he was standing by his burnt-offering, he, and all the princes of Moab. Num. 23:6
And he took up his parable, and said, Balak the king of Moab hath brought me from Aram, from the mountains of the east: Come, curse me Jacob, and come, denounce Israel! Num. 23:7
For from the top of the rocks I see him, and from the hills I behold him: Lo, it is a people that shall dwell alone and shall not be reckoned among the nations. Num. 23:9
Who can count the dust of Jacob, and the number of the fourth part of Israel? Let my soul die the death of the righteous, and let my end be like his! Num. 23:10
And Balak said to him, Come, I pray thee, with me to another place, from whence thou wilt see them; thou shalt see only the extremity of them and shalt not see them all, and curse me them from thence. Num. 23:13
And he took him to the watchmen's field, to the top of Pisgah, and built seven altars, and offered up a bullock and a ram on each altar. Num. 23:14
And he came to him, and behold, he was standing by his burnt-offering, and the princes of Moab with him; and Balak said to him, What has Jehovah spoken? Num. 23:17
He hath not beheld iniquity in Jacob, neither hath he seen wrong in Israel; Jehovah his God is with him, and the shout of a king is in his midst. Num. 23:21
*God brought him out of Egypt; he hath as it were the strength of a buffalo. Num. 23:22
Lo, the people will rise up as a lioness, and lift himself up as a lion. He shall not lie down until he have eaten the prey and drunk the blood of the slain. Num. 23:24
And Balak said to Balaam, Come, I pray thee, I will bring thee to another place; perhaps it will be right in the sight of God that thou curse me them from thence. Num. 23:27
And Balak brought Balaam to the top of Peor, which looks over the surface of the waste. Num. 23:28
And Balaam saw that it was good in the sight of Jehovah to bless Israel, and he went not, as at other times, to seek for enchantments, but he set his face toward the wilderness. Num. 24:1
And Balaam lifted up his eyes and saw Israel dwelling in tents according to his tribes; and the Spirit of God came upon him. Num. 24:2
And he took up his parable, and said, Balaam the son of Beor saith, and the man of opened eye saith, Num. 24:3
He saith, who heareth the words of *God, who seeth the vision of the Almighty, who falleth down, and who hath his eyes open: Num. 24:4
Like valleys are they spread forth, like gardens by the river side, Like aloe-trees which Jehovah hath planted, like cedars beside the waters. Num. 24:6
*God brought him out of Egypt; he hath as it were the strength of a buffalo. He shall consume the nations his enemies, and break their bones, and with his arrows shall smite them in pieces. Num. 24:8
If Balak gave me his house full of silver and gold, I could not go beyond the commandment of Jehovah to do good or bad out of my heart: what Jehovah shall say, that will I speak? Num. 24:13
And now behold, I go to my people: come, I will admonish thee what this people will do to thy people at the end of days. Num. 24:14
And he took up his parable, and said, Balaam the son of Beor saith, and the man of opened eye saith, Num. 24:15
He saith, who heareth the words of *God, who knoweth the knowledge of the Most High, Who seeth the vision of the Almighty, who falleth down, and who hath his eyes open: Num. 24:16
I shall see him, but not now; I shall behold him, but not nigh: There cometh a Star out of Jacob, and a Sceptre shall rise out of Israel, and he shall cut in pieces the corners of Moab, and destroy all the sons of tumult. Num. 24:17
And one out of Jacob shall have dominion, and will destroy out of the city what remaineth. Num. 24:19
And he saw Amalek, and took up his parable, and said, Amalek is the first of the nations, but his latter end shall be for destruction. Num. 24:20
And he saw the Kenites, and took up his parable, and said, Firm is thy dwelling-place, and thy nest fixed in the rock; Num. 24:21
But the Kenite shall be consumed, until Asshur shall carry thee away captive. Num. 24:22
And ships shall come from the coast of Chittim, and afflict Asshur, and afflict Eber, and he also shall be for destruction. Num. 24:24
And Israel abode in Shittim; and the people began to commit fornication with the daughters of Moab. Num. 25:1
And they invited the people to the sacrifices of their gods; and the people ate, and bowed down to their gods. Num. 25:2
And Israel joined himself to Baal-Peor; and the anger of Jehovah was kindled against Israel. Num. 25:3
And Jehovah said to Moses, Take all the heads of the people, and hang them up to Jehovah before the sun, that the fierce anger of Jehovah may be turned away from Israel. Num. 25:4
And Moses said to the judges of Israel, Slay every one his men that have joined themselves to Baal-Peor. Num. 25:5
And behold, a man of the children of Israel came and brought a Midianitish woman to his brethren, in the sight of Moses, and in the sight of the whole assembly of the children of Israel, who were weeping before the entrance of the tent of meeting. Num. 25:6
And Phinehas, the son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron the priest, saw it, and rose up from among the assembly, and took a javelin in his hand, Num. 25:7
and he went after the man of Israel into the tent-chamber, and thrust both of them through, the man of Israel and the woman through her belly. And the plague was stayed from the children of Israel. Num. 25:8
And those that died in the plague were twenty-four thousand. Num. 25:9
Phinehas, the son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron the priest, hath turned my wrath away from the children of Israel, in that he was jealous with my jealousy among them, so that I consumed not the children of Israel in my jealousy. Num. 25:11
And he shall have it, and his seed after him, the covenant of an everlasting priesthood; because he was jealous for his God, and made atonement for the children of Israel. Num. 25:13
And the name of the man of Israel that was slain, who was slain with the Midianitish woman, was Zimri, the son of Salu, the prince of a father's house of the Simeonites. Num. 25:14
And the name of the Midianitish woman that was slain was Cozbi, the daughter of Zur; he was tribal head of a father's house in Midian. Num. 25:15
Harass the Midianites, and smite them, Num. 25:17
for they have harassed you with their wiles, wherewith they have beguiled you in the matter of Peor, and in the matter of Cozbi, the daughter of a prince of Midian, their sister, who was slain on the day of the plague because of the matter of Peor. Num. 25:18
And it came to pass after the plague, that Jehovah spoke to Moses and to Eleazar the son of Aaron the priest, saying, Num. 26:1

and the sons of Eliab were Nemuel, and Dathan, and Abiram. This is that Dathan and Abiram, summoned of the assembly, who contended against Moses and against Aaron in the band of Korah, when they contended against Jehovah. Num. 26:9
And the earth opened its mouth, and swallowed them up together with Korah, when that band died, when the fire devoured the two hundred and fifty men; and they became a sign. Num. 26:10

And Moses told the children of Israel according to all that Jehovah had commanded Moses. Num. 29:40
And Moses spoke to the heads of the tribes of the children of Israel, saying, This is what Jehovah hath commanded. Num. 30:1
But if her father prohibited her in the day that he heard, none of her vows, or of her bonds wherewith she hath bound her soul, shall stand; and Jehovah shall pardon her, because her father prohibited her. Num. 30:5
and her husband hear it and be silent at her in the day that he heareth it, then her vows shall stand, and her bonds wherewith she bound her soul shall stand. Num. 30:7
But if her husband prohibit her on the day that he heareth it, and annul her vow which is upon her, and what hath passed her lips, wherewith she hath bound her soul, then Jehovah shall pardon her. Num. 30:8
But the vow of a widow, and of her that is divorced, -- everything wherewith she hath bound her soul shall stand against her. Num. 30:9
But if her husband have expressly annulled them on the day that he heard them, then nothing of that which is gone out of her lips as to her vows or the bond on her soul, shall stand: her husband hath annulled them; and Jehovah will pardon her. Num. 30:12
Every vow, and every binding oath to afflict the soul, her husband can establish it, or her husband can annul it. Num. 30:13
And if her husband be altogether silent at her from day to day, then he hath established all her vows or all her bonds which are upon her; he hath confirmed them, for he hath been silent at her in the day that he heard them. Num. 30:14
These are the statutes, which Jehovah commanded Moses, between a man and his wife, between a father and his daughter, in her youth in her father's house. Num. 30:16
Avenge the children of Israel upon the Midianites; afterwards shalt thou be gathered unto thy peoples. Num. 31:2
And Moses spoke to the people, saying, Arm from amongst you men for military service, that they go against Midian to execute Jehovah's vengeance upon Midian. Num. 31:3
Of every tribe a thousand, of all the tribes of Israel, shall ye send to the war. Num. 31:4
And there were levied out of the thousands of Israel, a thousand by tribe, twelve thousand armed for war. Num. 31:5
And Moses sent them to the war, a thousand by the tribe, them and Phinehas the son of Eleazar the priest, to the war, and the holy instruments, even the alarm-trumpets in his hand. Num. 31:6
And they warred against Midian, as Jehovah had commanded Moses, and slew all the males. Num. 31:7
And they slew the kings of Midian, besides the others slain, Evi, and Rekem, and Zur, and Hur, and Reba, five kings of Midian; and Balaam the son of Beor they slew with the sword. Num. 31:8
And the children of Israel took the women of Midian captives, and their little ones, and took for a spoil all their cattle and all their flocks and all their goods; Num. 31:9
And they took all the booty, and all the prey, of man and of cattle; Num. 31:11
and they brought to Moses and Eleazar the priest, and to the assembly of the children of Israel, the captives and the prey and the booty, to the camp in the plains of Moab, which are by the Jordan of Jericho. Num. 31:12
And Moses and Eleazar the priest and all the princes of the assembly went forth to meet them outside the camp. Num. 31:13
And Moses was wroth with the officers of the army, with the captains of thousands, and captains of hundreds, who came from the service of the war; Num. 31:14
and Moses said to them, Have ye saved all the women alive? Num. 31:15
Lo, these, through the counsel of Balaam, caused the children of Israel to commit sin against Jehovah in the matter of Peor, and there was a plague on the assembly of Jehovah. Num. 31:16
And now slay every male among the little ones, and slay every woman that hath known man by lying with him, Num. 31:17
but all the children among the women that have not known lying with a man, keep alive for yourselves. Num. 31:18
And encamp outside the camp seven days; whoever hath killed a person, and whoever hath touched any slain; ye shall purify yourselves on the third day, and on the seventh day, you and your captives. Num. 31:19
And Eleazar the priest said to the men of war that had gone to the battle, This is the statute of the law which Jehovah hath commanded Moses. Num. 31:21
Only the gold, and the silver, the copper, the iron, the tin, and the lead, Num. 31:22
everything that passeth through the fire, ye shall make it go through the fire, and it shall be clean; only it shall be purified with the water of separation; and everything that cannot pass through the fire ye shall make go through the water. Num. 31:23
And ye shall wash your garments on the seventh day, and ye shall be clean; and afterwards ye may come into the camp. Num. 31:24
Take the sum of the prey that was taken, of man and of cattle, thou, and Eleazar the priest, and the chief fathers of the assembly; Num. 31:26
and divide the prey into halves, between them that conducted the war, who went out to the battle, and the whole assembly. Num. 31:27
And thou shalt levy a tribute for Jehovah of the men of war who went out to the army, one soul of five hundred of the persons, and of the oxen, and of the asses, and of the small cattle. Num. 31:28
Of their half shall ye take it, and give it unto Eleazar the priest, for a heave-offering of Jehovah. Num. 31:29
And of the children of Israel's half, thou shalt take one portion of fifty, of the persons, of the oxen, of the asses, and of the small cattle, of every kind of beasts, and thou shalt give them unto the Levites, who keep the charge of the tabernacle of Jehovah. Num. 31:30
And Moses and Eleazar the priest did as Jehovah had commanded Moses. Num. 31:31
And the prey, the rest of the spoil, which the men of war had taken, was six hundred and seventy-five thousand sheep, Num. 31:32
and of human persons, of the women that had not known lying with a man, all the persons were thirty-two thousand. Num. 31:35
And the half, the portion of them that had gone out to the war, was in number three hundred and thirty-seven thousand five hundred sheep, Num. 31:36
and the tribute for Jehovah of the sheep was six hundred and seventy-five; Num. 31:37
and the oxen were thirty-six thousand, and the tribute thereof for Jehovah, seventy-two; Num. 31:38
and the asses were thirty thousand five hundred, and the tribute thereof for Jehovah, sixty-one; Num. 31:39
and the human persons were sixteen thousand, of whom the tribute for Jehovah was thirty-two persons. Num. 31:40
And Moses gave the tribute of Jehovah's heave-offering to Eleazar the priest, as Jehovah had commanded Moses. Num. 31:41
And of the children of Israel's half, which Moses had divided, taking it from the men that served in the war, Num. 31:42
(now the half belonging to the assembly was of the sheep, three hundred and thirty-seven thousand five hundred, Num. 31:43
... of the children of Israel's half, Moses took one portion of fifty, of man and of cattle, and gave them to the Levites who kept the charge of the tabernacle of Jehovah; as Jehovah had commanded Moses. Num. 31:47
And the officers who were over the thousands of the host, the captains of thousands, and captains of hundreds, came near to Moses, Num. 31:48
and they said to Moses, Thy servants have taken the sum of the men of war who were under our hand, and there is not one man of us lacking. Num. 31:49
So we present the offering of Jehovah, that which each one hath found, jewels of gold, chains, and bracelets, rings, earrings, and necklaces, to make atonement for our souls before Jehovah. Num. 31:50
And Moses and Eleazar the priest took the gold of them, all manner of wrought jewels. Num. 31:51
And all the gold of the heave-offering that they offered to Jehovah was sixteen thousand seven hundred and fifty shekels, from the captains of thousands and the captains of hundreds. Num. 31:52
(The men of war had taken spoil each one for himself.) Num. 31:53
And Moses and Eleazar the priest took the gold of the captains of thousands and of hundreds, and brought it into the tent of meeting, as a memorial for the children of Israel before Jehovah. Num. 31:54
And the children of Reuben and the children of Gad had much cattle, a very great multitude; and they saw the land of Jaazer, and the land of Gilead, and behold, the place was a place for cattle. Num. 32:1
And the children of Gad and the children of Reuben came and spoke to Moses, and to Eleazar the priest, and to the princes of the assembly, saying, Num. 32:2
the country that Jehovah smote before the assembly of Israel, is a land for cattle, and thy servants have cattle; Num. 32:4
and they said, If we have found favour in thine eyes, let this land be given to thy servants for a possession: bring us not over the Jordan. Num. 32:5
And Moses said to the children of Gad, and to the children of Reuben, Shall your brethren go to war, and shall *ye* abide here? Num. 32:6
And why do ye discourage the children of Israel from going over into the land that Jehovah has given them? Num. 32:7
Thus did your fathers, when I sent them from Kadesh-barnea to see the land: Num. 32:8
they went up to the valley of Eshcol, and saw the land, and discouraged the children of Israel, that they should not go into the land that Jehovah had given them. Num. 32:9
And Jehovah's anger was kindled the same time, and he swore, saying, Num. 32:10
If the men that came up out of Egypt, from twenty years old and upward, shall see the land that I swore to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob! for they have not wholly followed me; Num. 32:11
save Caleb the son of Jephunneh the Kenizzite, and Joshua the son of Nun; for they have wholly followed Jehovah. Num. 32:12
And Jehovah's anger was kindled against Israel, and he made them wander in the wilderness forty years, until the whole generation was consumed that had done evil in the eyes of Jehovah. Num. 32:13
And behold, ye are risen up in your fathers' stead, a progeny of sinful men, to augment yet the fierce anger of Jehovah toward Israel. Num. 32:14
If ye turn away from after him, he will yet again leave them in the wilderness; and ye shall destroy all this people. Num. 32:15
but we ourselves will go with diligence armed before the children of Israel, until we have brought them to their place; and our little ones shall dwell in the strong cities because of the inhabitants of the land. Num. 32:17
We will not return to our houses, until the children of Israel have inherited each one his inheritance. Num. 32:18
For we will not inherit with them on yonder side the Jordan, and further, because our inheritance is fallen to us on this side the Jordan eastward. Num. 32:19
and all of you that are armed go over the Jordan before Jehovah, until he have dispossessed his enemies from before him, Num. 32:21
and the land is subdued before Jehovah, and afterwards ye return, ye shall be guiltless toward Jehovah and toward Israel, and this land shall be your possession before Jehovah. Num. 32:22
And the children of Gad and the children of Reuben spoke to Moses, saying, Thy servants will do as my lord commands. Num. 32:25
Our little ones, our wives, our cattle, and all our beasts shall be there in the cities of Gilead; Num. 32:26
So concerning them Moses commanded Eleazar the priest, and Joshua the son of Nun, and the chief fathers of the tribes of the children of Israel. Num. 32:28
And Moses said unto them, If the children of Gad and the children of Reuben pass with you over the Jordan, every one armed for battle, before Jehovah, and the land be subdued before you, then ye shall give them the land of Gilead for a possession; Num. 32:29
but if they do not pass over with you armed, they shall have possessions among you in the land of Canaan. Num. 32:30
And the children of Gad and the children of Reuben answered, saying, As Jehovah has said to thy servants, so will we do. Num. 32:31
We will pass over armed before Jehovah into the land of Canaan, and the possession of our inheritance on this side the Jordan shall be ours. Num. 32:32
And Moses gave to them, to the children of Gad, and to the children of Reuben, and to half the tribe of Manasseh the son of Joseph, the kingdom of Sihon king of the Amorites, and the kingdom of Og the king of Bashan, the land, according to its cities and territories, the cities of the land round about. Num. 32:33
And the children of Gad built Dibon, and Ataroth, and Aroer, Num. 32:34
-- And the children of Reuben built Heshbon, and Elaleh, and Kirjathaim, Num. 32:37
and Nebo, and Baal-meon (of which the names were changed), and Sibmah; and they gave other names to the cities that they built. Num. 32:38
-- And the children of Machir the son of Manasseh went to Gilead, and took it, and they dispossessed the Amorites that were therein. Num. 32:39
And Moses gave Gilead to Machir the son of Manasseh; and he dwelt therein. Num. 32:40
And Jair the son of Manasseh went and took their hamlets, and called them Havoth-Jair. Num. 32:41
These are the journeys of the children of Israel, who went forth out of the land of Egypt according to their armies under the hand of Moses and Aaron. Num. 33:1
And Moses wrote their goings out according to their journeys by the commandment of Jehovah; and these are their journeys according to their goings out. Num. 33:2
They journeyed from Rameses in the first month, on the fifteenth day of the first month. On the morrow after the passover the children of Israel went out with a high hand in the sight of all the Egyptians. Num. 33:3
And the Egyptians buried those whom Jehovah had smitten among them, all the firstborn; and upon their gods Jehovah executed judgments. Num. 33:4
And the children of Israel removed from Rameses, and encamped in Succoth. Num. 33:5
And they removed from Succoth and encamped in Etham, which is at the end of the wilderness. Num. 33:6
And they removed from before Hahiroth, and passed through the midst of the sea into the wilderness, and went three days' journey in the wilderness of Etham, and encamped in Marah. Num. 33:8
And they removed from Elim, and encamped by the Red sea. Num. 33:10
And they removed from the Red sea, and encamped in the wilderness of Sin. Num. 33:11
And they removed from the wilderness of Sin, and encamped in Dophkah. Num. 33:12
And they removed from Alush, and encamped at Rephidim, where there was no water for the people to drink. Num. 33:14
And they removed from Rephidim, and encamped in the wilderness of Sinai. Num. 33:15
And they removed from the wilderness of Sinai, and encamped at Kibroth-hattaavah. Num. 33:16
And they removed from Ezion-geber, and encamped in the wilderness of Zin, which is Kadesh. Num. 33:36
And they removed from Kadesh, and encamped in mount Hor, in the border of the land of Edom. Num. 33:37
And Aaron the priest went up mount Hor by the commandment of Jehovah, and died there, in the fortieth year after the children of Israel came out of the land of Egypt, in the fifth month, on the first of the month. Num. 33:38
And the Canaanite, the king of Arad who dwelt in the south in the land of Canaan, heard of the coming of the children of Israel. Num. 33:40
And they removed from Oboth, and encamped in Ijim-Abarim, in the border of Moab. Num. 33:44
And they removed from Almon-Diblathaim, and encamped in the mountains of Abarim, before Nebo. Num. 33:47
And they removed from the mountains of Abarim, and encamped in the plains of Moab by the Jordan of Jericho. Num. 33:48
And they encamped by the Jordan, from Beth-jeshimoth unto Abel-Shittim, in the plains of Moab. Num. 33:49
And Jehovah spoke to Moses in the plains of Moab by the Jordan of Jericho, saying, Num. 33:50
Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When ye pass over Jordan into the land of Canaan, Num. 33:51
then ye shall dispossess all the inhabitants of the land from before you, and ye shall destroy all their figured images, and all their molten images shall ye destroy, and all their high places shall ye lay waste; Num. 33:52
and ye shall take possession of the land, and dwell therein, for to you have I given the land to possess it. Num. 33:53
And ye shall take for yourselves the land as an inheritance by lot according to your families: to the many ye shall increase their inheritance, and to the few thou shalt diminish their inheritance: where the lot falleth to him, there shall be each man's inheritance; according to the tribes of your fathers shall ye take for yourselves the inheritance. Num. 33:54
But if ye will not dispossess the inhabitants of the land from before you, those that ye let remain of them shall be thorns in your eyes, and pricks in your sides, and they shall harass you in the land wherein ye dwell. Num. 33:55
Command the children of Israel, and say unto them, When ye come into the land of Canaan, this shall be the land that shall fall to you for an inheritance, the land of Canaan according to the borders thereof. Num. 34:2
Then your south side shall be from the wilderness of Zin alongside of Edom, and your southern border shall be from the end of the salt sea eastward; Num. 34:3
and your border shall turn from the south of the ascent of Akrabbim, and pass on to Zin, and shall end southward at Kadesh-barnea, and shall go on to Hazar-Addar, and pass on to Azmon. Num. 34:4
And the border shall turn from Azmon unto the torrent of Egypt, and shall end at the sea. Num. 34:5
And as west border ye shall have the great sea, and its coast. This shall be your west border. Num. 34:6
And this shall be your north border: from the great sea ye shall mark out for you mount Hor; Num. 34:7
from mount Hor ye shall mark out the entrance to Hamath, and the end of the border shall be toward Zedad; Num. 34:8
and the border shall go to Ziphron, and shall end at Hazar-enan. This shall be your north border. Num. 34:9
and the border shall go down from Shepham to Riblah, on the east side of Ain; and the border shall descend, and shall strike upon the extremity of the sea of Chinnereth eastward; Num. 34:11
and the border shall go down to the Jordan, and shall end at the salt sea. This shall be your land according to the borders thereof round about. Num. 34:12
And Moses commanded the children of Israel, saying, This is the land which ye shall take for yourselves as inheritance by lot, which Jehovah commanded to give to the nine tribes, and to the half tribe. Num. 34:13
For the tribe of the children of the Reubenites according to their fathers' houses, and the tribe of the children of the Gadites according to their fathers' houses, have received, and half the tribe of Manasseh have received their inheritance; Num. 34:14
the two tribes and the half tribe have received their inheritance on this side the Jordan of Jericho eastward, toward the sun-rising. Num. 34:15
These are the names of the men who shall divide the land unto you: Eleazar the priest, and Joshua the son of Nun. Num. 34:17
And ye shall take one prince of every tribe, to divide the land. Num. 34:18
And these are the names of the men: for the tribe of Judah, Caleb the son of Jephunneh; Num. 34:19
and for the tribe of the children of Simeon, Samuel the son of Ammihud; Num. 34:20
for the tribe of Benjamin, Elidad the son of Chislon; Num. 34:21
and for the tribe of the children of Dan, a prince, Bukki the son of Jogli; Num. 34:22
for the children of Joseph: for the tribe of the children of Manasseh, a prince, Hanniel the son of Ephod, Num. 34:23
and for the tribe of the children of Ephraim, a prince, Kemuel the son of Shiphtan; Num. 34:24
and for the tribe of the children of Zebulun, a prince, Elizaphan the son of Pharnach; Num. 34:25
and for the tribe of the children of Issachar, a prince, Phaltiel the son of Azzan; Num. 34:26
and for the tribe of the children of Asher, a prince, Ahihud the son of Shelomi; Num. 34:27
and for the tribe of the children of Naphtali, a prince, Phedahel the son of Ammihud. Num. 34:28
These are they whom Jehovah commanded to distribute to the children of Israel their inheritance in the land of Canaan. Num. 34:29
And Jehovah spoke to Moses in the plains of Moab by the Jordan of Jericho, saying, Num. 35:1
Command the children of Israel, that of the inheritance of their possession they give unto the Levites cities to dwell in; and a suburb for the cities round about them shall ye give unto the Levites. Num. 35:2
And the cities shall they have to dwell in, and their suburbs shall be for their cattle, and for their goods, and for all their beasts. Num. 35:3
And the suburbs of the cities that ye shall give unto the Levites shall be from the walls of the city outward, a thousand cubits round about. Num. 35:4
And ye shall measure, without the city, the east side two thousand cubits, and the south side two thousand cubits, and the west side two thousand cubits, and the north side two thousand cubits, and the city shall be in the midst: they shall have this as suburbs of the cities. Num. 35:5
And among the cities that ye shall give unto the Levites shall be the six cities of refuge, which ye shall appoint for the manslayer, that he may flee thither, -- and besides them ye shall give forty-two cities: Num. 35:6
all the cities that ye shall give to the Levites shall be forty-eight cities, they and their suburbs. Num. 35:7
And the cities which ye shall give shall be of the possession of the children of Israel: from them that have much ye shall take much, and from them that have little ye shall take little; each one according to his inheritance which he will inherit shall give of his cities to the Levites. Num. 35:8
Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When ye pass over the Jordan into the land of Canaan, Num. 35:10
And ye shall have these cities for refuge from the avenger; that the manslayer die not, until he have stood before the assembly in judgment. Num. 35:12
And the cities that ye shall give shall be six cities of refuge for you. Num. 35:13
Three cities shall ye give on this side of the Jordan, and three cities shall ye give in the land of Canaan; they shall be cities of refuge. Num. 35:14
For the children of Israel, and for the stranger, and for the sojourner among them shall these six cities be a refuge, that one who smiteth a person mortally without intent may flee thither. Num. 35:15
And if he have smitten him with an instrument of iron, so that he die, he is a murderer: the murderer shall certainly be put to death. Num. 35:16
And if he have smitten him with a stone from the hand, wherewith one may die, and he die, he is a murderer: the murderer shall certainly be put to death. Num. 35:17
Or if he have smitten him with an instrument of wood, in the hand, wherewith one may die, and he die, he is a murderer: the murderer shall certainly be put to death; Num. 35:18
the avenger of blood, he shall put the murderer to death; when he meeteth him, he shall put him to death. Num. 35:19
or from enmity smite him with his hand, so that he die, he that smote him shall certainly be put to death; he is a murderer: the avenger of blood shall put the murderer to death, when he meeteth him. -- Num. 35:21
then the assembly shall judge between the smiter and the avenger of blood according to these judgments; Num. 35:24
and the assembly shall rescue the manslayer out of the hand of the avenger of blood, and the assembly shall restore him to the city of his refuge, whither he had fled; and he shall abide in it until the death of the high-priest, who was anointed with the holy oil. Num. 35:25
But if the manslayer shall in any way come outside the limits of the city of his refuge whither he hath fled, Num. 35:26
and the avenger of blood find him outside the limits of his city of refuge, and the avenger of blood kill the manslayer, there shall be no blood-guiltiness upon him; Num. 35:27
for the manslayer should have remained in the city of his refuge until the death of the high-priest; but after the death of the high-priest he may return into the land of his possession. Num. 35:28
Whoever shall smite a person mortally, at the mouth of witnesses shall the murderer be put to death; but one witness shall not testify against a person to cause him to die. Num. 35:30
And ye shall take no satisfaction for the life of a murderer, who is guilty of death, but he shall certainly be put to death. Num. 35:31
And ye shall take no satisfaction for him that hath fled to the city of his refuge, that he should come again to dwell in the land, until the death of the priest. Num. 35:32
And ye shall not pollute the land wherein ye are; for blood, it polluteth the land; and there can be no atonement made for the land, for the blood that hath been shed therein, but by the blood of him that shed it. Num. 35:33
And ye shall not defile the land that ye inhabit, in the midst whereof I dwell; for I am Jehovah who dwell in the midst of the children of Israel. Num. 35:34
And the chief fathers of families of the sons of Gilead, the son of Machir, the son of Manasseh, of the families of the sons of Joseph, came near, and spoke before Moses, and before the princes, the chief fathers of the children of Israel: Num. 36:1
and they said, Jehovah commanded my lord to give the land for an inheritance by lot to the children of Israel; and my lord was commanded by Jehovah to give the inheritance of Zelophehad our brother to his daughters. Num. 36:2
Now if they be married to any of the sons of the other tribes of the children of Israel, then shall their inheritance be taken from the inheritance of our fathers, and shall be added to the inheritance of the tribe to which they shall belong; and it shall be taken from the lot of our inheritance. Num. 36:3
And when the jubilee of the children of Israel shall come, then shall their inheritance be added to the inheritance of the tribe to which they shall belong; and their inheritance shall be taken away from the inheritance of the tribe of our fathers. Num. 36:4
And Moses commanded the children of Israel according to the word of Jehovah, saying, The tribe of the sons of Joseph hath said well. Num. 36:5
This is the thing which Jehovah hath commanded concerning the daughters of Zelophehad, saying, Let them marry whom they please; only they shall marry one of the tribe of their father, Num. 36:6
that no inheritance of the children of Israel pass from tribe to tribe; for every one of the children of Israel shall keep to the inheritance of the tribe of his fathers. Num. 36:7
And every daughter that possesseth an inheritance among the tribes of the children of Israel, shall be married to one of the family of the tribe of her father, that the children of Israel may possess every one the inheritance of his fathers, Num. 36:8
and the inheritance shall not pass from one tribe to another tribe; for each of the tribes of the children of Israel shall keep to his inheritance. Num. 36:9
Even as Jehovah had commanded Moses, so did the daughters of Zelophehad; Num. 36:10
and Mahlah, Tirzah, and Hoglah, and Milcah, and Noah, the daughters of Zelophehad, were married unto their uncles' sons. Num. 36:11
To those that were of the families of the sons of Manasseh the son of Joseph were they married; and their inheritance remained in the tribe of the family of their father. Num. 36:12
These are the commandments and the ordinances which Jehovah commanded through Moses to the children of Israel, in the plains of Moab, by the Jordan of Jericho. Num. 36:13
These are the words which Moses spoke to all Israel on this side the Jordan, in the wilderness, in the plain, opposite to Suph, between Paran and Tophel, Laban, Hazeroth, and Dizahab. Dt. 1:1
There are eleven days' journey from Horeb by the way of mount Seir to Kadesh-barnea. Dt. 1:2
And it came to pass in the fortieth year, in the eleventh month, on the first of the month, that Moses spoke to the children of Israel, according to all that Jehovah had given him in command to them; Dt. 1:3
after he had smitten Sihon the king of the Amorites, who dwelt at Heshbon, and Og the king of Bashan, who dwelt at Ashtaroth and at Edrei. Dt. 1:4
On this side the Jordan, in the land of Moab, began Moses to unfold this law, saying, Dt. 1:5
Turn and take your journey, and go to the hill-country of the Amorites, and unto all the neighbouring places in the plain, in the mountain, and in the lowland, and in the south, and by the seaside, the land of the Canaanites, and Lebanon, unto the great river, the river Euphrates. Dt. 1:7
Behold, I have set the land before you: go in and possess the land which Jehovah swore unto your fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give unto them and to their seed after them. Dt. 1:8
Jehovah your God hath multiplied you, and behold, ye are this day as the stars of heaven for multitude. Dt. 1:10
Jehovah, the God of your fathers, make you a thousand times so many more as ye are, and bless you as he hath said unto you! Dt. 1:11
And ye answered me, and said, The thing that thou hast spoken is good for us to do. Dt. 1:14
So I took the chiefs of your tribes, wise men and known, and made them chiefs over you, captains of thousands, and captains of hundreds, and captains of fifties, and captains of tens, and officers for your tribes. Dt. 1:15
And I commanded your judges at that time, saying, Hear the causes between your brethren, and judge righteously between a man and his brother, and him also that sojourneth with him. Dt. 1:16
Ye shall not respect persons in judgment: ye shall hear the small as well as the great; ye shall not be afraid of the face of man, for the judgment is God's; and the matter that is too hard for you shall ye bring to me, that I may hear it. Dt. 1:17
And I commanded you at that time all the things that ye should do. Dt. 1:18
And we departed from Horeb and went through all that great and terrible wilderness, which ye saw, on the way to the mountain of the Amorites, as Jehovah our God had commanded us; and we came to Kadesh-barnea. Dt. 1:19
And I said unto you, Ye are come unto the mountain of the Amorites, which Jehovah our God giveth us. Dt. 1:20
Behold, Jehovah thy God hath set the land before thee: go up, take possession, as Jehovah the God of thy fathers hath said unto thee; fear not, neither be dismayed. Dt. 1:21
And ye came near to me all of you, and said, We will send men before us, who shall examine the land for us, and bring us word again of the way by which we must go up, and of the cities to which we shall come. Dt. 1:22
And the matter was good in mine eyes; and I took twelve men of you, one man for a tribe. Dt. 1:23
And they turned and went up into the mountain, and came to the valley of Eshcol, and searched it out. Dt. 1:24
And they took of the fruit of the land in their hand, and brought it down unto us, and brought us answer, and said, The land is good that Jehovah our God hath given us. Dt. 1:25
But ye would not go up, and rebelled against the word of Jehovah your God; Dt. 1:26
and ye murmured in your tents, and said, Because Jehovah hated us, he hath brought us forth out of the land of Egypt, to deliver us into the hand of the Amorites, to destroy us. Dt. 1:27
Whither shall we go up? Our brethren have made our hearts melt, saying, They are a people greater and taller than we; the cities are great and walled up to heaven; and moreover we have seen the sons of the Anakim there. Dt. 1:28
and in the wilderness where thou hast seen that Jehovah thy God bore thee, as a man doth bear his son, in all the way that ye went, until ye came to this place. Dt. 1:31
who went in the way before you, to search you out a place for your encamping, in fire by night, to shew you by what way ye should go, and in the cloud by day. Dt. 1:33
And Jehovah heard the voice of your words, and was wroth, and swore, saying, Dt. 1:34
Except Caleb the son of Jephunneh, he shall see it, and to him will I give the land that he hath trodden upon, and to his children, because he hath wholly followed Jehovah. Dt. 1:36
Joshua the son of Nun, who standeth before thee, he shall go in thither: strengthen him, for he shall cause Israel to inherit it. Dt. 1:38
But ye, turn, and take your journey into the wilderness by the way of the Red sea. Dt. 1:40
-- And ye answered and said unto me, We have sinned against Jehovah, we will go up and fight, according to all that Jehovah our God hath commanded us. And ye girded on every man his weapons of war, and ye would go presumptuously up the hill. Dt. 1:41
And I spoke unto you, but ye would not hear, and ye rebelled against the word of Jehovah, and acted presumptuously, and went up the hill. Dt. 1:43
And the Amorite that dwelt on that hill came out against you, and chased you, like as bees do, and cut you in pieces in Seir, as far as Hormah. Dt. 1:44
And ye abode in Kadesh many days, according unto the days that ye abode there. Dt. 1:46
And we turned, and took our journey into the wilderness by the way of the Red sea, as Jehovah had said unto me; and we went round mount Seir many days. Dt. 2:1
And command the people, saying, Ye are to pass through the border of your brethren the children of Esau, who dwell in Seir; and they will be afraid of you; and ye shall be very guarded: Dt. 2:4
for Jehovah thy God hath blessed thee in all the work of thy hand. He hath known thy walking through this great wilderness: these forty years hath Jehovah thy God been with thee; thou hast lacked nothing. Dt. 2:7
And we passed by from our brethren the children of Esau, who dwelt in Seir, by the plain, by Elath, and by Ezion-geber, and we turned and passed by the way of the wilderness of Moab. Dt. 2:8
And Jehovah said to me, Distress not the Moabites, neither engage with them in battle; for I will not give thee of their land a possession; for unto the children of Lot have I given Ar as a possession. Dt. 2:9
(The Emim dwelt therein in times past, a people great, and many, and tall as the Anakim. Dt. 2:10
They also are reckoned as giants like the Anakim; but the Moabites call them Emim. Dt. 2:11
And in Seir dwelt the Horites in times past; and the children of Esau dispossessed them, and destroyed them from before them, and dwelt in their stead; as Israel did to the land of their possession, which Jehovah gave to them.) Dt. 2:12
Now rise up, and pass over the torrent Zered. And we passed over the torrent Zered. Dt. 2:13
Now the days in which we came from Kadesh-barnea, until we had come over the torrent Zered, were thirty-eight years; until the whole generation of the men of war was consumed from the midst of the camp, as Jehovah had sworn unto them. Dt. 2:14
Moreover the hand of Jehovah was against them to destroy them from the midst of the camp, until they were consumed. Dt. 2:15
And it came to pass when all the men of war were consumed, having died off from among the people, Dt. 2:16
Thou art to pass this day over the border of Moab, which is Ar, Dt. 2:18
and come near over against the children of Ammon; thou shalt not distress them nor attack them; for I will not give thee of the land of the children of Ammon a possession; for unto the children of Lot have I given it as a possession. Dt. 2:19
(That also is reckoned a land of giants: giants dwelt therein in time past, and the Ammonites call them Zamzummim; Dt. 2:20
a people great, and many, and tall as the Anakim; and Jehovah destroyed them before them, and they dispossessed them, and dwelt in their stead; Dt. 2:21
as he did to the children of Esau, who dwelt in Seir, from before whom he destroyed the Horites; and they dispossessed them, and dwelt in their stead, even to this day. Dt. 2:22
And the Avvites who dwelt in the hamlets as far as Gazah -- the Caphtorim, who came out of Caphtor, destroyed them, and dwelt in their stead.) Dt. 2:23
Rise up, take your journey, and pass over the river Arnon. Behold, I have given into thy hand Sihon the king of Heshbon, the Amorite, and his land: begin, take possession, and engage with him in battle. Dt. 2:24
This day will I begin to put the dread of thee and the fear of thee upon the peoples under the whole heaven; who will hear report of thee, and will tremble, and quake because of thee. Dt. 2:25
And I sent messengers out of the wilderness of Kedemoth unto Sihon the king of Heshbon with words of peace, saying, Dt. 2:26
Let me pass through thy land: by the highway alone will I go; I will neither turn to the right hand nor to the left. Dt. 2:27
-- as the children of Esau who dwell in Seir, and the Moabites who dwell in Ar, did to me, -- until I shall pass over the Jordan into the land which Jehovah our God giveth us. Dt. 2:29
But Sihon the king of Heshbon would not let us pass by him; for Jehovah thy God hardened his spirit, and made his heart obdurate, that he might give him into thy hand, as it is this day. Dt. 2:30
Only the cattle we took as booty for ourselves, and the spoil of the cities which we took. Dt. 2:35
From Aroer, which is on the bank of the river Arnon, and the city that is in the ravine even to Gilead, there was not one city too strong for us: Jehovah our God delivered all before us. Dt. 2:36
Only thou didst not approach the land of the children of Ammon, the whole border of the river Jabbok, nor the cities of the mountain, nor to whatsoever Jehovah our God had forbidden us. Dt. 2:37
And we turned, and went up the way to Bashan; and Og the king of Bashan came out against us, he and all his people, for battle at Edrei. Dt. 3:1
And Jehovah said to me, Fear him not; for into thy hand have I given him, and all his people, and his land; and thou shalt do unto him as thou didst unto Sihon the king of the Amorites, who dwelt at Heshbon. Dt. 3:2
And Jehovah our God gave into our hand Og the king of Bashan also, and all his people; and we smote him until none was left to him remaining. Dt. 3:3
And we took all his cities at that time: there was not a town which we took not from them, sixty cities, the whole region of Argob, the kingdom of Og in Bashan. Dt. 3:4
And we utterly destroyed them, as we had done to Sihon the king of Heshbon, utterly destroying every city, men, women and little ones. Dt. 3:6
But all the cattle and the spoil of the cities we took as booty for ourselves. Dt. 3:7
And we took at that time the land out of the hand of the two kings of the Amorites, that were on this side the Jordan, from the river Arnon to mount Hermon Dt. 3:8
(the Sidonians call Hermon Sirion, and the Amorites call it Senir): Dt. 3:9
all the cities of the plateau, and all Gilead, and all Bashan, as far as Salchah and Edrei, the cities of the kingdom of Og in Bashan. Dt. 3:10
For only Og the king of Bashan remained of the residue of giants: behold, his bedstead was a bedstead of iron; is it not in Rabbah of the children of Ammon? its length was nine cubits, and its breadth four cubits, after the cubit of a man. Dt. 3:11
And this land we took in possession at that time. From Aroer, which is by the river Arnon, and the half of mount Gilead, and its cities, I gave to the Reubenites and to the Gadites; Dt. 3:12
and the rest of Gilead, and all Bashan, the kingdom of Og, I gave to half the tribe of Manasseh. (The whole region of Argob, even all Bashan, is called a land of giants. Dt. 3:13
Jair the son of Manasseh took the whole region of Argob as far as the border of the Geshurites and Maachathites, and called Bashan after his own name, Havoth-Jair, to this day.) Dt. 3:14
And to the Reubenites and to the Gadites I gave from Gilead even to the river Arnon, the middle of the ravine and its border, as far as the river Jabbok, the border of the children of Ammon; Dt. 3:16
the plain also, and the Jordan, and its border from Chinnereth as far as the sea of the plain, the salt sea, under the slopes of Pisgah eastward. Dt. 3:17
And I commanded you at that time, saying, Jehovah your God hath given you this land to take possession of it: ye shall pass over armed before your brethren the children of Israel, all who are combatants. Dt. 3:18
until Jehovah give rest to your brethren, as well as to you, and they also take possession of the land that Jehovah your God giveth them beyond the Jordan; then shall ye return, each man to his possession, which I have given you. Dt. 3:20
And I commanded Joshua at that time, saying, Thine eyes have seen all that Jehovah your God hath done to these two kings: so will Jehovah do to all the kingdoms to which thou shalt go. Dt. 3:21
Lord Jehovah, thou hast begun to shew thy servant thy greatness, and thy powerful hand; for what *God is in the heavens or in the earth that can do like to thy works, and like to thy might? Dt. 3:24
Let me go over, I pray thee, and see the good land that is beyond the Jordan, that goodly mountain, and Lebanon. Dt. 3:25
Go up to the top of Pisgah, and lift up thine eyes westward, and northward, and southward, and eastward, and behold it with thine eyes; for thou shalt not go over this Jordan. Dt. 3:27
But charge Joshua, and encourage him and strengthen him; for he shall go over before this people, and he shall put them in possession of the land which thou shalt see. Dt. 3:28
And we abode in the valley opposite to Beth-Peor. Dt. 3:29
And now, Israel, hearken to the statutes and to the ordinances which I teach you, to do them, that ye may live, and go in and possess the land which Jehovah the God of your fathers giveth you. Dt. 4:1
Ye shall not add to the word which I command you, neither shall ye take from it, that ye may keep the commandments of Jehovah your God which I command you. Dt. 4:2
Your eyes have seen what Jehovah did because of Baal-Peor; for all the men that followed Baal-Peor, Jehovah thy God hath destroyed them from among you; Dt. 4:3
See, I have taught you statutes and ordinances, even as Jehovah my God commanded me, that ye may do so in the land into which ye enter to possess it. Dt. 4:5
And ye shall keep and do them; for that will be your wisdom and your understanding before the eyes of the peoples that shall hear all these statutes, and say, Verily this great nation is a wise and understanding people. Dt. 4:6
Only take heed to thyself, and keep thy soul diligently, lest thou forget the things that thine eyes have seen (and lest they depart from thy heart all the days of thy life; but thou shalt make them known to thy sons and to thy sons' sons), Dt. 4:9
the day that thou stoodest before Jehovah thy God in Horeb, when Jehovah said to me, Gather me the people together, that I may cause them to hear my words, that they may learn them, and fear me all the days that they live upon the earth, and teach them to their children. Dt. 4:10
And ye came near and stood under the mountain; and the mountain burned with fire to the heart of heaven, with darkness, clouds, and obscurity. Dt. 4:11
And Jehovah spoke to you from the midst of the fire: ye heard the voice of the words, but ye saw no form; only ye heard a voice. Dt. 4:12
And he declared to you his covenant, which he commanded you to do, the ten words; and he wrote them on two tables of stone. Dt. 4:13
And Jehovah commanded me at that time to teach you statutes and ordinances, that ye might do them in the land whither ye are passing over to possess it. Dt. 4:14
And take great heed to your souls (for ye saw no form on the day that Jehovah spoke to you in Horeb from the midst of the fire), Dt. 4:15
lest ye corrupt yourselves, and make you a graven image, the form of any figure, the pattern of male or female, Dt. 4:16
the pattern of any beast that is on the earth, the pattern of any winged fowl that flieth in the heaven, Dt. 4:17
the pattern of anything that creepeth on the ground, the pattern of any fish that is in the waters under the earth; Dt. 4:18
and lest thou lift up thine eyes to the heavens, and see the sun, and the moon, and the stars, the whole host of heaven, and be drawn away and bow down to them and serve them, which Jehovah thy God hath assigned unto all peoples under the whole heaven. Dt. 4:19
But you hath Jehovah taken, and hath brought you forth out of the iron furnace, out of Egypt, that ye might be to him a people of inheritance, as it is this day. Dt. 4:20
And Jehovah was angry with me on your account, and swore that I should not go over the Jordan, and that I should not enter in to that good land which Jehovah thy God giveth thee for an inheritance; Dt. 4:21
for I shall die in this land, I shall not go over the Jordan; but ye shall go over, and possess this good land. Dt. 4:22
Take heed to yourselves lest ye forget the covenant of Jehovah your God, which he made with you, and make yourselves a graven image, the form of anything which Jehovah thy God hath forbidden thee. Dt. 4:23
When thou begettest sons, and sons' sons, and ye have remained long in the land, and shall corrupt yourselves, and make a graven image, the form of anything, and do evil in the sight of Jehovah thy God, to provoke him to anger, Dt. 4:25
I call heaven and earth to witness against you this day, that ye shall soon utterly perish from off the land whereunto ye pass over the Jordan to possess it: ye shall not prolong your days on it, but shall be utterly destroyed. Dt. 4:26
And Jehovah will scatter you among the peoples, and ye shall be left a small company among the nations to which Jehovah will lead you. Dt. 4:27
And ye shall there serve gods, the work of men's hands, wood and stone, which neither see, nor hear, nor eat, nor smell. Dt. 4:28
In thy tribulation, and when all these things shall come upon thee, at the end of days, thou shalt return to Jehovah thy God, and shalt hearken to his voice, Dt. 4:30
-- for Jehovah thy God is a merciful *God, -- he will not forsake thee, neither destroy thee, nor forget the covenant of thy fathers which he swore unto them. Dt. 4:31
For ask now of the days that are past, which were before thee, since the day that God created man on the earth, and from one end of the heavens to the other end of the heavens, whether there hath been anything as this great thing is, or if anything hath been heard like it? Dt. 4:32
Did ever people hear the voice of God speaking from the midst of the fire, as thou hast heard, and live? Dt. 4:33
Or hath God essayed to come to take him a nation from the midst of a nation, by trials, by signs, and by wonders, and by war, and by a powerful hand, and by a stretched-out arm, and by great terrors, according to all that Jehovah your God did for you in Egypt before your eyes? Dt. 4:34
From the heavens he made thee hear his voice, that he might instruct thee; and on the earth he shewed thee his great fire; and thou heardest his words from the midst of the fire. Dt. 4:36
Thou shalt know therefore this day, and consider it in thy heart, that Jehovah, he is God in the heavens above, and on the earth beneath: there is none else. Dt. 4:39
And thou shalt keep his statutes, and his commandments, which I command thee this day, that it may be well with thee and with thy sons after thee, and that thou mayest prolong thy days on the land which Jehovah thy God giveth thee, for ever. Dt. 4:40
Then Moses separated three cities on this side the Jordan toward the sun-rising, Dt. 4:41
that the manslayer might flee thither, who should kill his neighbour unawares, and hated him not previously, that fleeing to one of these cities, he might live: Dt. 4:42
Bezer in the wilderness, in the plateau, of the Reubenites, and Ramoth in Gilead, of the Gadites, and Golan in Bashan, of the Manassites. Dt. 4:43
And this is the law which Moses set before the children of Israel: Dt. 4:44
these are the testimonies, and the statutes, and the ordinances that Moses declared to the children of Israel, when they came out of Egypt, Dt. 4:45
on this side the Jordan, in the valley opposite to Beth-Peor, in the land of Sihon the king of the Amorites, who dwelt in Heshbon, whom Moses and the children of Israel smote when they came out of Egypt; Dt. 4:46
and they took possession of his land, and the land of Og the king of Bashan, two kings of the Amorites, who were on this side the Jordan, toward the sun-rising; Dt. 4:47
from Aroer, which is on the bank of the river Arnon, as far as mount Sion, which is Hermon, Dt. 4:48
and all the plain on this side the Jordan, eastward, and as far as the sea of the plain, under the slopes of Pisgah. Dt. 4:49
And Moses called to all Israel, and said to them, Hear, Israel, the statutes and the ordinances that I speak in your ears this day, and learn them, and keep them to do them. Dt. 5:1
Face to face on the mountain from the midst of the fire Jehovah spoke with you Dt. 5:4
(I stood between Jehovah and you at that time, to declare to you the word of Jehovah; for ye were afraid by reason of the fire, and went not up to the mountain), saying, Dt. 5:5
I am Jehovah thy God who have brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage. Dt. 5:6
Thou shalt not make thyself any graven image, any form of what is in the heavens above, or what is in the earth beneath, or what is in the waters under the earth: Dt. 5:8
thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them; for I, Jehovah thy God, am a jealous *God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the sons, and upon the third and upon the fourth generation of them that hate me, Dt. 5:9
Thou shalt not idly utter the name of Jehovah thy God; for Jehovah will not hold him guiltless that idly uttereth his name. Dt. 5:11
Keep the sabbath day to hallow it, as Jehovah thy God hath commanded thee. Dt. 5:12
but the seventh day is the sabbath of Jehovah thy God: thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, nor thy bondman, nor thy handmaid, nor thine ox, nor thine ass, nor any of thy cattle, nor thy sojourner that is within thy gates; that thy bondman and thy handmaid may rest as well as thou. Dt. 5:14
And thou shalt remember that thou wast a bondman in the land of Egypt, and that Jehovah thy God brought thee out thence with a powerful hand and with a stretched-out arm; therefore Jehovah thy God hath commanded thee to observe the sabbath day. Dt. 5:15
Honour thy father and thy mother, as Jehovah thy God hath commanded thee; that thy days may be prolonged, and that it may be well with thee in the land which Jehovah thy God giveth thee. Dt. 5:16
These words Jehovah spoke to all your congregation on the mountain from the midst of the fire, of the cloud, and of the obscurity, with a great voice, and he added no more; and he wrote them on two tables of stone, and gave them to me. Dt. 5:22
And it came to pass, when ye heard the voice from the midst of the darkness, and the mountain burned with fire, that ye came near to me, all the heads of your tribes, and your elders; Dt. 5:23
and ye said, Behold, Jehovah our God has shewn us his glory and his greatness, and we have heard his voice from the midst of the fire: we have seen this day that God talks with man, and he lives. Dt. 5:24
And now, why should we die? for this great fire will consume us. If we hear the voice of Jehovah our God any more, we shall die. Dt. 5:25
For who is there of all flesh, that has heard the voice of the living God speaking from the midst of the fire, as we, and has lived? Dt. 5:26
And Jehovah heard the voice of your words, when ye spoke to me; and Jehovah said unto me, I have heard the voice of the words of this people that have spoken to thee: they have well spoken all that they have spoken. Dt. 5:28
But as for thee, stand thou here by me, and I will speak unto thee all the commandments, and the statutes, and the ordinances, which thou shalt teach them, that they may do them in the land which I give them to possess it. Dt. 5:31
Take heed then to do as Jehovah your God hath commanded you: turn not aside to the right hand or to the left. Dt. 5:32
In all the way that Jehovah your God hath commanded you shall ye walk, that ye may live, and that it may be well with you, and that ye may prolong your days in the land which ye shall possess. Dt. 5:33
And these are the commandments, the statutes, and the ordinances, which Jehovah your God commanded to teach you, that ye may do them in the land whereunto ye pass over to possess it, Dt. 6:1
that thou mayest fear Jehovah thy God, to keep all his statutes and his commandments which I command thee, thou, and thy son, and thy son's son, all the days of thy life; and that thy days may be prolonged. Dt. 6:2
And thou shalt hear, Israel, and take heed to do them; that it may be well with thee, and that ye may increase greatly, as Jehovah the God of thy fathers hath said unto thee, in a land flowing with milk and honey. Dt. 6:3
and thou shalt impress them on thy sons, and shalt talk of them when thou sittest in thy house, and when thou goest on the way, and when thou liest down, and when thou risest up. Dt. 6:7
And thou shalt write them upon the posts of thy house, and upon thy gates. Dt. 6:9
And it shall be, when Jehovah thy God bringeth thee into the land which he swore unto thy fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give thee: great and good cities which thou buildedst not, Dt. 6:10
then beware lest thou forget Jehovah who brought thee forth out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage. Dt. 6:12
Ye shall not go after other gods, of the gods of the peoples that are round about you; Dt. 6:14
for Jehovah thy God is a jealous *God in thy midst; lest the anger of Jehovah thy God be kindled against thee, and he destroy thee from the face of the earth. Dt. 6:15
Ye shall diligently keep the commandments of Jehovah your God, and his testimonies, and his statutes, which he hath commanded thee. Dt. 6:17
And thou shalt do what is right and good in the sight of Jehovah, that it may be well with thee, and that thou mayest enter in and possess the good land which Jehovah swore unto thy fathers, Dt. 6:18
When thy son shall ask thee in time to come, saying, What are the testimonies, and the statutes, and the ordinances, which Jehovah our God hath commanded you? Dt. 6:20
and he brought us out thence, that he might bring us in, to give us the land which he swore unto our fathers. Dt. 6:23
When Jehovah thy God shall bring thee into the land whither thou goest to possess it, and shall cast out many nations from before thee, the Hittites, and the Girgashites, and the Amorites, and the Canaanites, and the Perizzites, and the Hivites, and the Jebusites, seven nations greater and mightier than thou, Dt. 7:1
for he will turn away thy son from following me, and they will serve other gods, and the anger of Jehovah will be kindled against you, and he will destroy thee quickly. Dt. 7:4
For a holy people art thou unto Jehovah thy God: Jehovah thy God hath chosen thee to be unto him a people for a possession, above all the peoples that are upon the face of the earth. Dt. 7:6
Not because ye were more in number than all the peoples, hath Jehovah been attached to you and chosen you, for ye are the fewest of all the peoples; Dt. 7:7
but because Jehovah loved you, and because he would keep the oath which he had sworn unto your fathers, hath Jehovah brought you out with a powerful hand, and redeemed you out of the house of bondage, from the hand of Pharaoh king of Egypt. Dt. 7:8
And thou shalt know that Jehovah thy God, he is God, the faithful *God, who keepeth covenant and mercy to a thousand generations with them that love him and keep his commandments; Dt. 7:9
And thou shalt keep the commandment, and the statutes, and the ordinances, which I command thee this day, to do them. Dt. 7:11
And it shall come to pass, if ye hearken to these ordinances, and keep and do them, that Jehovah thy God will keep with thee the covenant and the mercy which he swore unto thy fathers; Dt. 7:12
and he will love thee, and bless thee, and multiply thee, and will bless the fruit of thy womb, and the fruit of thy ground, thy corn and thy new wine, and thine oil, the offspring of thy kine, and the increase of thy sheep, in the land which he swore unto thy fathers to give thee. Dt. 7:13
Thou shalt be blessed above all the peoples; there shall not be male or female barren with thee, or with thy cattle; Dt. 7:14
and Jehovah will take away from thee all sickness, and none of the evil infirmities of Egypt, which thou knowest, will he put upon thee; but he will lay them upon all them that hate thee. Dt. 7:15
And thou shalt consume all the peoples that Jehovah thy God will give up unto thee; thine eye shall not spare them, and thou shalt not serve their gods; for that would be a snare unto thee. Dt. 7:16
fear them not; remember well what Jehovah thy God did unto Pharaoh, and unto all the Egyptians; Dt. 7:18
the great trials which thine eyes saw, and the signs, and the wonders, and the powerful hand, and the stretched-out arm, whereby Jehovah thy God brought thee out: so will Jehovah thy God do unto all the peoples whom thou fearest. Dt. 7:19
Moreover, Jehovah thy God will send the hornet among them, until they that are left, and they that hide themselves from thee, are destroyed. Dt. 7:20
And Jehovah thy God will cast out those nations from before thee by little and little; thou shalt not be able to make an end of them at once, lest the beasts of the field increase upon thee. Dt. 7:22
And he will give their kings into thy hand, and thou shalt put out their name from under the heavens; no man shall stand before thee, until thou hast destroyed them. Dt. 7:24
The graven images of their gods shall ye burn with fire; thou shalt not covet the silver and gold that is on them and take it unto thee, lest thou be ensnared therein; for it is an abomination to Jehovah thy God. Dt. 7:25
Every commandment which I command thee this day shall ye take heed to do, that ye may live, and multiply, and enter in and possess the land which Jehovah swore unto your fathers. Dt. 8:1
And thou shalt remember all the way which Jehovah thy God led thee these forty years in the wilderness, to humble thee, and to prove thee, to know what was in thy heart, whether thou wouldest keep his commandments or not. Dt. 8:2
And he humbled thee, and suffered thee to hunger, and fed thee with the manna, which thou hadst not known, and which thy fathers knew not; that he might make thee know that man doth not live by bread alone, but by everything that goeth out of the mouth of Jehovah doth man live. Dt. 8:3
and thou shalt keep the commandments of Jehovah thy God, to walk in his ways, and to fear him. Dt. 8:6
For Jehovah thy God bringeth thee into a good land, a land of water-brooks, of springs, and of deep waters, that gush forth in the valleys and hills; Dt. 8:7
And thou shalt eat and be filled, and shalt bless Jehovah thy God for the good land which he hath given thee. Dt. 8:10
then thy heart be lifted up, and thou forget Jehovah thy God, who brought thee forth out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage; Dt. 8:14
who led thee through the great and terrible wilderness, a wilderness of fiery serpents, and scorpions, and drought, where there is no water; who brought thee forth water out of the rock of flint; Dt. 8:15
who fed thee in the wilderness with manna, which thy fathers knew not, that he might humble thee, and that he might prove thee, to do thee good at thy latter end; Dt. 8:16
-- and thou say in thy heart, My power and the might of my hand has procured me this wealth. Dt. 8:17
As the nations which Jehovah is causing to perish before you, so shall ye perish; because ye would not hearken unto the voice of Jehovah your God. Dt. 8:20
Hear, Israel! Thou art to pass over the Jordan this day, to enter in to possess nations greater and mightier than thou, cities great and walled up to heaven, Dt. 9:1
a people great and tall, the sons of the Anakim, whom thou knowest, and of whom thou hast heard say, Who can stand before the sons of Anak! Dt. 9:2
Thou shalt not say in thy heart, when Jehovah thy God thrusteth them out from before thee, saying, For my righteousness Jehovah hath brought me in to possess this land; but for the wickedness of these nations doth Jehovah dispossess them from before thee. Dt. 9:4
Not for thy righteousness, or for the uprightness of thy heart, dost thou enter in to possess their land, but for the wickedness of these nations doth Jehovah thy God dispossess them from before thee, and that he may perform the word which Jehovah swore unto thy fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob. Dt. 9:5
Remember, forget not, how thou provokedst Jehovah thy God to wrath in the wilderness. From the day that thou didst depart out of the land of Egypt, until ye came to this place, ye have been rebellious against Jehovah. Dt. 9:7
when I went up the mountain to receive the tables of stone, the tables of the covenant which Jehovah made with you, and I abode in the mountain forty days and forty nights, -- I ate no bread and drank no water, -- Dt. 9:9
-- and Jehovah delivered to me the two tables of stone written with the finger of God; and on them was written according to all the words which Jehovah spoke with you on the mountain from the midst of the fire on the day of the assembly. Dt. 9:10
And it came to pass at the end of forty days and forty nights, that Jehovah gave me the two tables of stone, the tables of the covenant. Dt. 9:11
And Jehovah said unto me, Arise, go down quickly from hence; for thy people which thou hast brought forth out of Egypt have corrupted themselves; they have quickly turned aside from the way which I commanded them: they have made for themselves a molten image. Dt. 9:12
And I turned and came down from the mountain, and the mountain burned with fire; and the two tables of the covenant were in my two hands. Dt. 9:15
And I saw, and behold, ye had sinned against Jehovah your God: ye had made for yourselves a molten calf; ye had quickly turned aside from the way which Jehovah had commanded you. Dt. 9:16
And I seized the two tables, and cast them out of my two hands, and broke them before your eyes. Dt. 9:17
And I fell down before Jehovah, as at the first, forty days and forty nights, -- I ate no bread and drank no water, -- because of all your sin which ye had sinned, in doing what is evil in the eyes of Jehovah, to provoke him to anger. Dt. 9:18
For I was afraid of the anger and fury wherewith Jehovah was wroth against you to destroy you. And Jehovah listened unto me also at that time. Dt. 9:19
And with Aaron Jehovah was very angry to destroy him; and I prayed for Aaron also at the same time. Dt. 9:20
And I took your sin, the calf which ye had made, and burned it with fire, and crushed it, and ground it very small, until it became fine dust; and I cast the dust thereof into the brook that flowed down from the mountain. Dt. 9:21
And when Jehovah sent you from Kadesh-barnea, saying, Go up and take possession of the land which I have given you, ye rebelled against the word of Jehovah your God, and ye believed him not, nor hearkened to his voice. Dt. 9:23
Ye have been rebellious against Jehovah from the day that I knew you. Dt. 9:24
So I fell down before Jehovah the forty days and forty nights, as I fell down; for Jehovah had said he would destroy you. Dt. 9:25
Remember thy servants Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob; look not at the stubbornness of this people, nor at their wickedness, nor at their sin; Dt. 9:27
lest the land whence thou broughtest us out say, Because Jehovah was not able to bring them into the land which he had promised them, and because he hated them, he hath brought them out to kill them in the wilderness. Dt. 9:28
At that time Jehovah said unto me, Hew for thyself two tables of stone like the first, and come up unto me into the mountain, and make thee an ark of wood; Dt. 10:1
and I will write on the tables the words that were on the first tables which thou didst break, and thou shalt lay them in the ark. Dt. 10:2
And I made an ark of acacia-wood, and hewed two tables of stone like the first, and went up the mountain with the two tables in my hand. Dt. 10:3
And he wrote on the tables, as the first writing, the ten words which Jehovah spoke unto you on the mountain, from the midst of the fire, on the day of the assembly, and Jehovah gave them unto me. Dt. 10:4
And I turned and came down from the mountain, and put the tables in the ark which I had made; -- and they are there, as Jehovah commanded me. Dt. 10:5
(And the children of Israel took their journey from Beeroth-Bene-Jaakan to Moserah: there Aaron died, and there he was buried; and Eleazar his son exercised the priesthood in his stead. Dt. 10:6
At that time Jehovah separated the tribe of Levi, to bear the ark of the covenant of Jehovah, to stand before Jehovah to do service unto him, and to bless in his name, unto this day. Dt. 10:8
But I stood upon the mountain according to the former days, forty days and forty nights; and Jehovah listened unto me also at that time: Jehovah would not destroy thee. Dt. 10:10
And Jehovah said unto me, Rise up, take thy journey before the people, that they may enter in and possess the land, which I swore unto their fathers to give unto them. Dt. 10:11
to keep the commandments of Jehovah, and his statutes, which I command thee this day, for thy good? Dt. 10:13
Behold, the heaven and the heaven of heavens belong to Jehovah thy God; the earth and all that is therein. Dt. 10:14
Only, Jehovah took pleasure in thy fathers, to love them, and he chose their seed after them, even you, out of all the peoples, as it is this day. Dt. 10:15
Circumcise then the foreskin of your heart, and stiffen your neck no more. Dt. 10:16
For Jehovah your God is the God of gods, and the Lord of lords, the great *God, the mighty and the terrible, who regardeth not persons, nor taketh reward; Dt. 10:17
who executeth the judgment of the fatherless and the widow, and loveth the stranger, to give him food and clothing. Dt. 10:18
And ye shall love the stranger; for ye have been strangers in the land of Egypt. Dt. 10:19
With seventy souls thy fathers went down into Egypt; and now Jehovah thy God hath made thee as the stars of heaven for multitude. Dt. 10:22
And know ye this day ...; for I speak not with your children who have not known, and who have not seen the chastisement of Jehovah your God, his greatness, his powerful hand, and his stretched-out arm, Dt. 11:2
and his signs and his acts which he did in the midst of Egypt unto Pharaoh the king of Egypt, and unto all his land; Dt. 11:3
and what he did unto the army of Egypt, unto their horses, and unto their chariots, over which he made the water of the Red sea flow as they pursued after you, and Jehovah destroyed them unto this day; Dt. 11:4
-- and what he did unto you in the wilderness, until ye came to this place; Dt. 11:5
and what he did unto Dathan and Abiram, the sons of Eliab, the son of Reuben, -- how the earth opened its mouth, and swallowed them up, with their households, and their tents, and all the living substance that belonged to them, in the midst of all Israel. Dt. 11:6
For your eyes have seen all the great work of Jehovah which he hath done. Dt. 11:7
Keep then all the commandment which I command you this day, that ye may be strong, and enter in and possess the land, whither ye pass over to possess it; Dt. 11:8
and that ye may prolong your days in the land which Jehovah swore unto your fathers to give unto them and unto their seed, a land flowing with milk and honey. Dt. 11:9
For the land, whither thou enterest in to possess it, is not as the land of Egypt, from whence ye came out, where thou sowedst thy seed, and wateredst it with thy foot, as a garden of herbs; Dt. 11:10
but the land, whereunto ye are passing over to possess it, is a land of mountains and valleys, which drinketh water of the rain of heaven, Dt. 11:11
a land which Jehovah thy God careth for; the eyes of Jehovah thy God are constantly upon it, from the beginning of the year even unto the end of the year. Dt. 11:12
that I will give rain to your land in its season, the early rain and the latter rain; and thou shalt gather in thy corn, and thy new wine, and thine oil; Dt. 11:14
and Jehovah's wrath kindle against you, and he shut up the heavens, that there be no rain, and that the ground yield not its produce, and ye perish quickly from off the good land which Jehovah is giving you. Dt. 11:17
And ye shall teach them unto your children, speaking of them when thou sittest in thy house, and when thou goest on the way, and when thou liest down, and when thou risest up; Dt. 11:19
and write them upon the posts of thy house, and upon thy gates; Dt. 11:20
that your days may be multiplied, and the days of your children, in the land which Jehovah swore unto your fathers to give them, as the days of the heavens which are above the earth. Dt. 11:21
Every place whereon the sole of your foot shall tread shall be yours; from the wilderness and Lebanon, from the river, the river Euphrates, even unto the hinder sea shall your border be. Dt. 11:24
No man shall be able to stand before you: the fear of you and the dread of you will Jehovah your God lay upon all the land that ye shall tread upon, as he hath said unto you. Dt. 11:25
a blessing, if ye obey the commandments of Jehovah your God, which I command you this day; Dt. 11:27
and a curse, if ye will not obey the commandments of Jehovah your God, but turn aside out of the way which I command you this day, to go after other gods which ye have not known. Dt. 11:28
And it shall come to pass, when Jehovah thy God hath brought thee into the land whither thou enterest in to possess it, that thou shalt put the blessing upon mount Gerizim, and the curse upon mount Ebal. Dt. 11:29
Are they not on the other side of the Jordan, beyond the way toward the going down of the sun, in the land of the Canaanites that dwell on the plain opposite to Gilgal, beside the oaks of Moreh? Dt. 11:30
For ye pass over the Jordan to enter in to possess the land which Jehovah your God giveth you, and ye shall take possession of it, and dwell therein. Dt. 11:31
And ye shall take heed to do all the statutes and ordinances which I set before you this day. Dt. 11:32
These are the statutes and ordinances, which ye shall take heed to do in the land, which Jehovah the God of thy fathers is giving thee to possess it, all the days that ye live upon the earth. Dt. 12:1
Ye shall utterly destroy all the places wherein the nations which ye shall dispossess have served their gods, upon the high mountains, and upon the hills, and under every green tree; Dt. 12:2
and ye shall break down their altars, and shatter their statues, and burn their Asherahs with fire; and ye shall hew down the graven images of their gods, and ye shall destroy the names of them out of that place. Dt. 12:3
but unto the place which Jehovah your God will choose out of all your tribes to set his name there, his habitation shall ye seek, and thither thou shalt come; Dt. 12:5
and thither ye shall bring your burnt-offerings and your sacrifices, and your tithes, and the heave-offering of your hand, and your vows, and your voluntary-offerings, and the firstlings of your kine and of your sheep; Dt. 12:6
and ye shall eat there before Jehovah your God, and ye shall rejoice, ye and your households, in all the business of your hand, wherein Jehovah thy God hath blessed thee. Dt. 12:7
For ye are not as yet come to the rest and to the inheritance which Jehovah thy God giveth thee. Dt. 12:9
But when ye have gone over the Jordan, and dwell in the land which Jehovah your God causeth you to inherit, and when he hath given you rest from all your enemies round about, and ye dwell in safety, Dt. 12:10
then there shall be a place which Jehovah your God will choose to cause his name to dwell there; thither shall ye bring all that I command you: your burnt-offerings, and your sacrifices, your tithes, and the heave-offering of your hand, and all your choice vows which ye shall vow to Jehovah. Dt. 12:11
And ye shall rejoice before Jehovah your God, ye, and your sons, and your daughters, and your bondmen, and your handmaids, and the Levite that is within your gates; for he hath no portion nor inheritance with you. Dt. 12:12
but in the place which Jehovah will choose in one of thy tribes, there thou shalt offer thy burnt-offerings, and there thou shalt do all that I command thee. Dt. 12:14
Nevertheless, according to all the desire of thy soul thou mayest slay and eat flesh in all thy gates, according to the blessing of Jehovah thy God which he hath given thee: the unclean and the clean may eat thereof, as of the gazelle, and the hart. Dt. 12:15
Only, ye shall not eat the blood; ye shall pour it upon the earth as water. Dt. 12:16
Thou mayest not eat within thy gates the tithe of thy corn, or of thy new wine, or of thine oil, or the firstlings of thy kine or of thy sheep, nor any of thy vows which thou vowest, nor thy voluntary-offerings, nor the heave-offering of thy hand; Dt. 12:17
but before Jehovah thy God shalt thou eat them in the place which Jehovah thy God will choose, thou and thy son, and thy daughter, and thy bondman, and thy handmaid, and the Levite that is within thy gates; and thou shalt rejoice before Jehovah thy God in all the business of thy hand. Dt. 12:18
Take heed to thyself that thou forsake not the Levite all the days thou shalt be in thy land. Dt. 12:19
When Jehovah thy God shall enlarge thy border, as he promised thee, and thou say, I will eat flesh, because thy soul longeth to eat flesh, thou mayest eat flesh, according to all the desire of thy soul. Dt. 12:20
If the place which Jehovah thy God will choose to set his name there be too far from thee, then thou shalt slay of thy kine and of thy sheep which Jehovah hath given thee, as I have commanded thee, and thou shalt eat in thy gates according to all the desire of thy soul. Dt. 12:21
Even as the gazelle and the hart is eaten, so thou shalt eat them: the unclean and the clean alike may eat of them. Dt. 12:22
Only, be sure that thou eat not the blood; for the blood is the life, and thou mayest not eat the life with the flesh; Dt. 12:23
thou shalt not eat it; thou shalt pour it upon the earth as water: Dt. 12:24
thou shalt not eat it; that it may go well with thee, and with thy children after thee, when thou shalt do what is right in the eyes of Jehovah. Dt. 12:25
But thy hallowed things which thou hast, and what thou hast vowed, thou shalt take, and come to the place which Jehovah will choose; Dt. 12:26
and thou shalt offer thy burnt-offerings, the flesh and the blood, upon the altar of Jehovah thy God; and the blood of thy sacrifices shall be poured out upon the altar of Jehovah thy God, and the flesh shalt thou eat. Dt. 12:27
Take heed to hear all these words which I command thee, that it may be well with thee, and with thy children after thee for ever, when thou doest what is good and right in the eyes of Jehovah thy God. Dt. 12:28
When Jehovah thy God cutteth off from before thee the nations whither thou goest, to take possession of them, and thou hast dispossessed them, and dwellest in their land, Dt. 12:29
Thou shalt not do so to Jehovah thy God; for every thing that is abomination to Jehovah, which he hateth, have they done unto their gods; for even their sons and their daughters have they burned in the fire to their gods. Dt. 12:31
and the sign or the wonder come to pass that he told unto thee, when he said, Let us go after other gods, whom thou hast not known, and let us serve them, Dt. 13:2
-- thou shalt not hearken unto the words of that prophet, or that dreamer of dreams; for Jehovah your God proveth you, to know whether ye love Jehovah your God with all your heart and with all your soul. Dt. 13:3
And that prophet, or that dreamer of dreams, shall be put to death; for he hath spoken revolt against Jehovah your God who brought you out of the land of Egypt, and redeemed you out of the house of bondage, -- to draw thee out of the way that Jehovah thy God commanded thee to walk in; and thou shalt put evil away from thy midst. Dt. 13:5
If thy brother, the son of thy mother, or thy son, or thy daughter, or the wife of thy bosom, or thy friend, who is to thee as thy soul, entice thee secretly, saying, Let us go and serve other gods (whom thou hast not known, thou, nor thy fathers; Dt. 13:6
of the gods of the peoples which are round about you, near unto thee, or far from thee, from one end of the earth even unto the other end of the earth), Dt. 13:7
but thou shalt in any case kill him: thy hand shall be the first against him to put him to death, and afterwards the hands of all the people; Dt. 13:9
and thou shalt stone him with stones, that he die; for he hath sought to draw thee away from Jehovah thy God who brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage; Dt. 13:10
There are men, children of Belial, gone out from among you, and they have drawn away the inhabitants of their city, saying, Let us go and serve other gods, whom ye have not known; Dt. 13:13
then shalt thou inquire, and make search, and ask diligently; and if it be truth, and the thing be certain, that this abomination hath happened in the midst of thee, Dt. 13:14
thou shalt surely smite the inhabitants of that city with the edge of the sword, devoting it to destruction, and all that is therein, and the cattle thereof, with the edge of the sword. Dt. 13:15
And all the spoil of it shalt thou gather into the midst of the open place thereof, and shalt burn the city with fire, and all the spoil thereof, wholly to Jehovah thy God; and it shall be a heap for ever; it shall not be built again. Dt. 13:16
And thou shalt not let anything cleave to thy hand of the devoted thing; that Jehovah may turn from the fierceness of his anger, and shew thee mercy, and have compassion upon thee, and multiply thee, as he hath sworn unto thy fathers; Dt. 13:17
when thou hearkenest to the voice of Jehovah thy God, to keep all his commandments which I command thee this day, that thou mayest do what is right in the eyes of Jehovah thy God. Dt. 13:18
For thou art a holy people unto Jehovah thy God, and thee hath Jehovah chosen for a people of possession unto himself, out of all the peoples that are upon the face of the earth. Dt. 14:2
These are the beasts which ye shall eat: the ox, the sheep, and the goat; Dt. 14:4
the hart, and the gazelle, and the stag, and the wild goat, and the dishon and the oryx, and the wild sheep. Dt. 14:5
And every beast that hath cloven hoofs, and the feet quite split open into double hoofs, and which cheweth the cud, among the beasts, that ye shall eat. Dt. 14:6
Only these ye shall not eat of those that chew the cud, or of those with hoofs cloven and split open: the camel, and the hare, and the rock-badger; for they chew the cud, but have not cloven hoofs -- they shall be unclean unto you; Dt. 14:7
and the swine, for it hath cloven hoofs, yet cheweth not the cud -- it shall be unclean unto you. Of their flesh shall ye not eat, and their carcase shall ye not touch. Dt. 14:8
These shall ye eat of all that are in the waters: whatsoever hath fins and scales shall ye eat; Dt. 14:9
But these are they of which ye shall not eat: the eagle, and the ossifrage, and the sea-eagle, Dt. 14:12
and the falcon, and the kite, and the black kite after its kind; Dt. 14:13
and the female ostrich, and the male ostrich, and the sea-gull, and the hawk after its kind; Dt. 14:15
the owl, and the ibis and the swan, Dt. 14:16
and the pelican, and the carrion vulture, and the gannet, Dt. 14:17
and the stork, and the heron after its kind, and the hoopoe, and the bat. Dt. 14:18
Ye shall eat of no carcase; thou shalt give it unto the stranger that is within thy gates, that he may eat it, or sell it unto a foreigner; for thou art a holy people to Jehovah thy God. Thou shalt not boil a kid in its mother's milk. Dt. 14:21
Thou shalt truly tithe all the increase of thy seed, the produce of the field, year by year. Dt. 14:22
And thou shalt eat before Jehovah thy God, in the place which he will choose to cause his name to dwell there, the tithe of thy corn, of thy new wine, and of thine oil, and the firstlings of thy herds and of thy flocks; that thou mayest learn to fear Jehovah thy God continually. Dt. 14:23
And if the way be too long for thee, so that thou art not able to carry it, because the place is too far from thee, which Jehovah thy God will choose to set his name there, when Jehovah thy God blesseth thee; Dt. 14:24
then shalt thou give it for money, and bind the money together in thy hand, and go to the place which Jehovah thy God will choose, Dt. 14:25
and thou shalt give the money for whatever thy soul desireth, for oxen, or for sheep, or for wine, or for strong drink, or for whatever thy soul asketh of thee; and thou shalt eat there before Jehovah thy God, and thou shalt rejoice, thou, and thy house. Dt. 14:26
And thou shalt not forsake the Levite that is within thy gates; for he hath no portion nor inheritance with thee. Dt. 14:27
At the end of three years thou shalt bring forth all the tithe of thine increase the same year, and shalt lay it up within thy gates; Dt. 14:28
and the Levite -- for he hath no portion nor inheritance with thee -- and the stranger, and the fatherless, and the widow, that are within thy gates, shall come, and shall eat and be satisfied; that Jehovah thy God may bless thee in all the work of thy hand which thou doest. Dt. 14:29
At the end of seven years thou shalt make a release, Dt. 15:1
and this is the manner of the release: Every creditor shall relax his hand from the loan which he hath lent unto his neighbour; he shall not demand it of his neighbour, or of his brother; for a release to Jehovah hath been proclaimed. Dt. 15:2
Of the foreigner thou mayest demand it; but what is thine with thy brother thy hand shall release; Dt. 15:3
save when there shall be no one in need among you; for Jehovah will greatly bless thee in the land that Jehovah thy God giveth thee for an inheritance to possess it, Dt. 15:4
if thou only diligently hearken unto the voice of Jehovah thy God, to take heed to do all this commandment which I command thee this day. Dt. 15:5
Beware that there be not a wicked thought in thy heart, saying, The seventh year, the year of release, is at hand; and thine eye be evil against thy poor brother, and thou givest him nought; and he cry against thee to Jehovah, and it be sin in thee. Dt. 15:9
Thou shalt bountifully give unto him, and thy heart shall not be evil-disposed when thou givest unto him; because for this thing Jehovah thy God will bless thee in all thy works, and in all the business of thy hand. Dt. 15:10
For the needy shall never cease from within the land; therefore I command thee, saying, Thou shalt open thy hand bountifully unto thy brother, to thy poor and to thy needy, in thy land. Dt. 15:11
If thy brother, a Hebrew man, or a Hebrew woman, have been sold unto thee, he shall serve thee six years, and in the seventh year thou shalt let him go free from thee. Dt. 15:12
And thou shalt remember that thou wast a bondman in the land of Egypt, and that Jehovah thy God redeemed thee; therefore I command thee this thing to-day. Dt. 15:15
then thou shalt take an awl, and thrust it through his ear and into the door; and he shall be thy bondman for ever. And also unto thy handmaid thou shalt do likewise. Dt. 15:17
Let it not seem hard unto thee, when thou sendest him away free from thee; for double the worth of a hired servant hath he been to thee, in serving thee six years; and Jehovah thy God will bless thee in all that thou doest. Dt. 15:18
Every firstling that is born among thy kine and among thy sheep that is a male, thou shalt hallow to Jehovah thy God: thou shalt do no work with the firstling of thy kine, nor shear the firstling of thy sheep. Dt. 15:19
Thou shalt eat it before Jehovah thy God, year by year, in the place which Jehovah will choose, thou and thy household. Dt. 15:20
In thy gates shalt thou eat it; the unclean and the clean shall eat it alike, as the gazelle and as the hart. Dt. 15:22
Only thou shalt not eat the blood thereof: thou shalt pour it upon the earth as water. Dt. 15:23
Keep the month of Abib, and celebrate the passover to Jehovah thy God; for in the month of Abib Jehovah thy God brought thee forth out of Egypt by night. Dt. 16:1
And thou shalt sacrifice the passover to Jehovah thy God, of the flock and of the herd, in the place which Jehovah will choose to cause his name to dwell there. Dt. 16:2
Thou shalt eat no leavened bread along with it; seven days shalt thou eat unleavened bread with it, bread of affliction; for thou camest forth out of the land of Egypt in haste, -- that thou mayest remember the day when thou camest forth out of the land of Egypt, all the days of thy life. Dt. 16:3
And there shall be no leaven seen with thee in all thy borders seven days; neither shall any of the flesh, which thou sacrificedst at even on the first day, be left over night until the morning. -- Dt. 16:4
Thou mayest not sacrifice the passover in one of thy gates, which Jehovah thy God giveth thee; Dt. 16:5
but at the place that Jehovah thy God will choose, to cause his name to dwell in, there thou shalt sacrifice the passover at even, at the going down of the sun, at the time that thou camest forth out of Egypt. Dt. 16:6
And thou shalt cook and eat it at the place which Jehovah thy God will choose; and in the morning shalt thou turn and go unto thy tents. Dt. 16:7
Six days thou shalt eat unleavened bread, and on the seventh day is a solemn assembly to Jehovah thy God; thou shalt do no work. Dt. 16:8
Seven weeks shalt thou count: from the beginning of putting the sickle into the corn shalt thou begin to count seven weeks. Dt. 16:9
And thou shalt hold the feast of weeks to Jehovah thy God with a tribute of a voluntary-offering of thy hand, which thou shalt give, according as Jehovah thy God hath blessed thee; Dt. 16:10
and thou shalt rejoice before Jehovah thy God, thou, and thy son, and thy daughter, and thy bondman, and thy handmaid, and the Levite that is in thy gates, and the stranger, and the fatherless, and the widow that are in thy midst in the place that Jehovah thy God will choose to cause his name to dwell there. Dt. 16:11
The feast of tabernacles shalt thou hold seven days, when thou hast gathered in the produce of thy floor and of thy winepress. Dt. 16:13
And thou shalt rejoice in thy feast, thou, and thy son, and thy daughter, and thy bondman, and thy handmaid, and the Levite, and the stranger, and the fatherless, and the widow, that are in thy gates. Dt. 16:14
Seven days shalt thou hold a feast to Jehovah thy God in the place which Jehovah will choose; for Jehovah thy God will bless thee in all thy produce, and in all the work of thy hands, and thou shalt be wholly joyful. Dt. 16:15
Three times in the year shall all thy males appear before Jehovah thy God in the place which he will choose, at the feast of unleavened bread, and at the feast of weeks, and at the feast of tabernacles; and they shall not appear before Jehovah empty: Dt. 16:16
each shall give according to that which is in his power to give, according to the blessing of Jehovah thy God which he hath given thee. Dt. 16:17
Judges and officers shalt thou make thee in all thy gates, which Jehovah thy God giveth thee, throughout thy tribes, that they may judge the people with just judgment. Dt. 16:18
Thou shalt not wrest judgment; thou shalt not respect persons, neither take a bribe; for the bribe blindeth the eyes of the wise, and perverteth the words of the righteous. Dt. 16:19
Perfect justice shalt thou follow, that thou mayest live, and possess the land that Jehovah thy God giveth thee. Dt. 16:20
Thou shalt not plant thyself an Asherah of any wood near unto the altar of Jehovah thy God, which thou shalt make thee. Dt. 16:21
If there be found in thy midst in any of thy gates which Jehovah thy God giveth thee, man or woman, that doeth what is evil in the sight of Jehovah thy God, in transgressing his covenant, Dt. 17:2
and goeth and serveth other gods, and boweth down to them, either to the sun or to the moon, or to the whole host of heaven, which I have not commanded; Dt. 17:3
and it be told thee, and thou hearest of it; then thou shalt make thorough inquiry, and if it be truth and the thing be certain, that this abomination hath been wrought in Israel, Dt. 17:4
thou shalt bring forth that man or that woman, who committed that wicked thing, unto thy gates, the man or the woman, and shalt stone them with stones, that they die. Dt. 17:5
At the mouth of two witnesses, or three witnesses, shall he that is to die be put to death: he shall not be put to death at the mouth of one witness. Dt. 17:6
The hands of the witnesses shall be first upon him to put him to death, and afterwards the hands of all the people; and thou shalt put evil away from thy midst. Dt. 17:7
If there arise a matter too hard for thee in judgment, between blood and blood, between cause and cause, and between stroke and stroke, matters of controversy within thy gates, then shalt thou arise, and go up to the place which Jehovah thy God will choose. Dt. 17:8
And thou shalt come unto the priests, the Levites, and unto the judge that shall be in those days, and inquire; and they shall declare unto thee the sentence of judgment; Dt. 17:9
and thou shalt do according to the tenor of the word, which they of that place which Jehovah will choose shall declare unto thee; and thou shalt take heed to do according to all that they instruct thee: Dt. 17:10
according to the sentence of the law which they shall declare unto thee, and according to the judgment which they shall tell thee, thou shalt do: thou shalt not decline from the word which they shall declare unto thee, to the right hand, or the left. Dt. 17:11
And the man that shall act presumptuously, and not hearken unto the priest that standeth to serve there before Jehovah thy God, or unto the judge, that man shall die; and thou shalt put away evil from Israel. Dt. 17:12
And all the people shall hear, and fear, and no more act presumptuously. Dt. 17:13
When thou comest unto the land which Jehovah thy God giveth thee, and shalt possess it, and shalt dwell therein, and shalt say, I will set a king over me, like all the nations that are about me; Dt. 17:14
Only he shall not multiply horses to himself, nor lead back the people to Egypt, to multiply horses; for Jehovah hath said unto you, Ye shall not return again any more that way. Dt. 17:16
And it shall be, when he sitteth upon the throne of his kingdom, that he shall write for himself a copy of this law in a book out of that which is before the priests, the Levites; Dt. 17:18
and it shall be with him, and he shall read therein all the days of his life; that he may learn to fear Jehovah his God, to keep all the words of this law and these statutes, to do them; Dt. 17:19
that his heart be not lifted up above his brethren, and that he turn not aside from the commandment, to the right hand, or to the left; that he may prolong his days in his kingdom, he, and his sons, in the midst of Israel. Dt. 17:20
The priests, the Levites, and the whole tribe of Levi, shall have no portion nor inheritance with Israel: Jehovah's offerings by fire, and his inheritance shall they eat, Dt. 18:1
And this shall be the priest's due from the people, from them that sacrifice a sacrifice, whether ox, or sheep: they shall give unto the priest the shoulder, and the jawbones, and the maw. Dt. 18:3
The firstfruits also of thy corn, of thy new wine, and of thine oil, and the firstfruits of the shearing of thy sheep, shalt thou give him; Dt. 18:4
for Jehovah thy God hath chosen him out of all thy tribes, that he may stand to serve in the name of Jehovah, he and his sons continually. Dt. 18:5
And if the Levite shall come from one of thy gates out of all Israel, where he sojourneth, and shall come according to all the desire of his soul unto the place which Jehovah will choose, Dt. 18:6
and shall serve in the name of Jehovah his God, as all his brethren the Levites that stand there before Jehovah, Dt. 18:7
When thou art come into the land which Jehovah thy God giveth thee, thou shalt not learn to do according to the abominations of those nations. Dt. 18:9
There shall not be found among you he that maketh his son or his daughter to pass through the fire, that useth divination, that useth auguries, or an enchanter, or a sorcerer, Dt. 18:10
or a charmer, or one that inquireth of a spirit of Python, or a soothsayer, or one that consulteth the dead. Dt. 18:11
Jehovah thy God will raise up unto thee a prophet from the midst of thee, of thy brethren, like unto me; unto him shall ye hearken; Dt. 18:15
according to all that thou desiredst of Jehovah thy God at Horeb on the day of the assembly, saying, Let me not hear again the voice of Jehovah my God, neither let me see this great fire any more, that I die not. Dt. 18:16
And it shall come to pass that the man who hearkeneth not unto my words which he shall speak in my name, I will require it of him. Dt. 18:19
But the prophet who shall presume to speak a word in my name that I have not commanded him to speak, or that shall speak in the name of other gods, that prophet shall die. Dt. 18:20
And if thou say in thy heart, How shall we know the word that Jehovah hath not spoken? Dt. 18:21
When a prophet speaketh in the name of Jehovah, and the thing followeth not, nor cometh to pass, that is the word which Jehovah hath not spoken; the prophet hath spoken it presumptuously: be not afraid of him. Dt. 18:22
When Jehovah thy God hath cut off the nations whose land Jehovah thy God giveth thee, and thou hast dispossessed them, and dwellest in their cities and in their houses, Dt. 19:1
thou shalt separate three cities for thyself in the midst of thy land, which Jehovah thy God giveth thee to possess. Dt. 19:2
Thou shalt prepare thee the way, and divide the territory of thy land, which Jehovah thy God giveth thee to inherit, into three parts, so that every slayer may flee thither. Dt. 19:3
And this is the case of the slayer who shall flee thither that he may live: he that smiteth his neighbour unwittingly, whom he hated not previously; Dt. 19:4
as when he goeth into the wood with his neighbour to hew wood, and his hand fetcheth a stroke with the axe to cut down the tree, and the iron slippeth from the handle, and lighteth upon his neighbour, that he die; such an one shall flee unto one of these cities, and live; Dt. 19:5
lest the avenger of blood pursue the manslayer, while his heart is hot, and overtake him, because the way is long, and smite him mortally; whereas he was not worthy of death, since he hated him not previously. Dt. 19:6
And if Jehovah thy God enlarge thy border, as he hath sworn unto thy fathers, and give thee all the land which he promised to give unto thy fathers Dt. 19:8
that innocent blood be not shed in the midst of thy land which Jehovah thy God giveth thee for an inheritance, and blood come not upon thee. Dt. 19:10
then the elders of his city shall send and fetch him thence, and deliver him into the hand of the avenger of blood, that he may die. Dt. 19:12
Thou shalt not remove thy neighbour's landmark, which they of old time have fixed in thine inheritance, which thou shalt inherit in the land which Jehovah thy God giveth thee to possess. Dt. 19:14
One witness shall not rise up against a man for any iniquity, and for any sin, in any sin that he sinneth: at the mouth of two witnesses, or at the mouth of three witnesses, shall a matter be established. Dt. 19:15
then both the men between whom the controversy is shall stand before Jehovah, before the priests and the judges that shall be in those days; Dt. 19:17
and the judges shall make thorough inquiry; and if the witness be a false witness, and he have testified falsely against his brother, Dt. 19:18
When thou goest out to war against thine enemies, and seest horses, and chariots, and a people more numerous than thou, thou shalt not fear them; for Jehovah thy God is with thee, who brought thee up out of the land of Egypt. Dt. 20:1
And it shall be, when ye approach unto the battle, that the priest shall draw near and speak unto the people, Dt. 20:2
And the officers shall speak unto the people, saying, What man is there that hath built a new house, and hath not dedicated it? let him go and return unto his house, lest he die in the battle, and another man dedicate it. Dt. 20:5
And what man is there that hath planted a vineyard, and hath not eaten of it? let him go and return unto his house, lest he die in the battle, and another man eat of it. Dt. 20:6
And what man is there that hath betrothed a wife, and hath not taken her? let him go and return unto his house, lest he die in the battle, and another man take her. Dt. 20:7
And the officers shall speak further unto the people, and shall say, What man is there that is timid and faint-hearted? let him go and return unto his house, lest his brethren's heart melt as well as his heart. Dt. 20:8
And it shall be, when the officers have ended speaking unto the people, that they shall place captains of the hosts at the head of the people. Dt. 20:9
And it shall be, if it make thee answer of peace, and open unto thee, then all the people that are found therein shall be tributaries unto thee, and they shall serve thee. Dt. 20:11
and when Jehovah thy God delivereth it into thy hand, thou shalt smite every male thereof with the edge of the sword: Dt. 20:13
only the women, and the little ones, and the cattle, and all that shall be in the city, all the spoil thereof, shalt thou take as booty for thyself; and thou shalt eat the spoil of thine enemies, which Jehovah thy God giveth thee Dt. 20:14
Thus shalt thou do unto all the cities that are very far off from thee, which are not of the cities of these nations. Dt. 20:15
But of the cities of these peoples which Jehovah thy God giveth thee for an inheritance, thou shalt save alive nothing that breatheth, Dt. 20:16
but shalt utterly devote them to destruction, the Hittites and the Amorites, the Canaanites and the Perizzites, the Hivites and the Jebusites, as Jehovah thy God hath commanded thee; Dt. 20:17
When thou shalt besiege a city many days, in making war against it to take it, thou shalt not destroy the trees thereof by lifting up an axe against them; for thou canst eat of them; and thou shalt not cut them down, for is the tree of the field a man that it should be besieged? Dt. 20:19
Only the trees which thou knowest are not trees for meat, thou mayest destroy and cut them down, and build bulwarks against the city that maketh war with thee, until it fall. Dt. 20:20
If one be found slain in the land which Jehovah thy God giveth thee to possess, lying in the field, and it be not known who hath smitten him, Dt. 21:1
then thine elders and thy judges shall go forth, and they shall measure unto the cities which are round about him that is slain; Dt. 21:2
and the city that is nearest unto him that is slain, even the elders of that city shall take a heifer that hath not been wrought with, that hath not drawn in the yoke; Dt. 21:3
and the elders of that city shall bring down the heifer unto an ever-flowing watercourse, which is not tilled, nor is it sown, and shall break the heifer's neck there in the watercourse; Dt. 21:4
and the priests the sons of Levi shall come near; for them Jehovah thy God hath chosen to do service unto him, and to bless in the name of Jehovah; and according to their word shall be every controversy and every stroke. Dt. 21:5
And all the elders of that city, that are nearest unto him that is slain, shall wash their hands over the heifer whose neck is broken in the watercourse, Dt. 21:6
Forgive thy people Israel, whom thou, Jehovah, hast redeemed, and lay not innocent blood to the charge of thy people Israel; and the blood shall be expiated for them. Dt. 21:8
So shalt thou put away innocent blood from thy midst, when thou shalt do what is right in the eyes of Jehovah. Dt. 21:9
and thou seest among the captives a woman of beautiful form, and hast a desire unto her, and takest her as thy wife; Dt. 21:11
and she shall put the clothes of her captivity from off her, and shall abide in thy house, and bewail her father and mother a full month, and afterwards thou mayest go in unto her, and be her husband, and she shall be thy wife. Dt. 21:13
If a man have two wives, one beloved, and one hated, and they have borne him children, both the beloved and the hated, and the firstborn son be hers that was hated; Dt. 21:15
then it shall be, in the day that he maketh his sons to inherit what he hath, that he may not make the son of the beloved firstborn before the son of the hated, who is the firstborn; Dt. 21:16
but he shall acknowledge as firstborn the son of the hated, by giving him a double portion of all that is found with him; for he is the firstfruits of his vigour: the right of the firstborn is his. Dt. 21:17
If a man have an unmanageable and rebellious son, who hearkeneth not unto the voice of his father, nor unto the voice of his mother, and they have chastened him, but he hearkeneth not unto them; Dt. 21:18
then shall his father and his mother lay hold on him, and bring him out unto the elders of his city, and unto the gate of his place; Dt. 21:19
and they shall say unto the elders of his city, This our son is unmanageable and rebellious, he hearkeneth not unto our voice; he is a profligate and a drunkard. Dt. 21:20
And all the men of his city shall stone him with stones, that he die. And thou shalt put evil away from thy midst; and all Israel shall hear and fear. Dt. 21:21
his body shall not remain all night upon the tree, but thou shalt in any wise bury him that day (for he that is hanged is a curse of God); and thou shalt not defile thy land, which Jehovah thy God giveth thee for an inheritance. Dt. 21:23
Thou shalt not see thy brother's ass or his ox fall by the way, and hide thyself from them: thou shalt in any case help him to lift them up. Dt. 22:4
If a bird's nest chance to be before thee in the way, in any tree, or upon the ground, with young or with eggs, and the dam sitting upon the young or upon the eggs, thou shalt not take the dam with the young: Dt. 22:6
thou shalt in any case let the dam go, and thou mayest take the young to thee, that it may be well with thee, and that thou mayest prolong thy days. Dt. 22:7
Thou shalt not sow thy vineyard with seed of two sorts, lest the whole of thy seed which thou hast sown, and the produce of thy vineyard, be forfeited. Dt. 22:9
Tassels shalt thou make thee on the four corners of thy clothing, wherewith thou coverest thyself. Dt. 22:12
then shall the father of the damsel, and her mother, take and bring forth the tokens of the damsel's virginity unto the elders of the city in the gate; Dt. 22:15
and the damsel's father shall say unto the elders, I gave my daughter unto this man as wife, and he hates her; Dt. 22:16
and behold, he charges her with things for scandalous talk, saying, I found not thy daughter a virgin; and here are the tokens of my daughter's virginity. And they shall spread the cloth before the elders of the city. Dt. 22:17
And the elders of that city shall take the man and chastise him; Dt. 22:18
and they shall fine him a hundred shekels of silver, and give them unto the father of the damsel, because he hath caused an evil name to be spread abroad against a virgin in Israel. And she shall remain his wife: he may not put her away all his days. Dt. 22:19
But if this thing is true, and virginity hath not been found with the damsel; Dt. 22:20
then they shall bring out the damsel unto the entrance of her father's house, and the men of her city shall stone her with stones that she die: because she hath wrought infamy in Israel, committing fornication in her father's house; and thou shalt put evil away from thy midst. Dt. 22:21
If a man be found lying with a man's wife, they shall both of them die, the man that lay with the woman, and the woman; and thou shalt put away evil from Israel. Dt. 22:22
If a damsel, a virgin, be betrothed to some one, and a man find her in the city, and lie with her, Dt. 22:23
then ye shall bring them both out unto the gate of that city, and stone them with stones that they die; the damsel, because she cried not, being in the city, and the man, because he hath humbled his neighbour's wife; and thou shalt put evil away from thy midst. Dt. 22:24
But if a man find a betrothed damsel in the field, and the man force her, and lie with her, then the man only that lay with her shall die; Dt. 22:25
and unto the damsel thou shalt do nothing: there is in the damsel no sin worthy of death; for as when a man riseth against his neighbour, and murdereth him, so is this matter; Dt. 22:26
for he found her in the field, the betrothed damsel cried, and there was no one to save her. Dt. 22:27
then the man that lay with her shall give unto the damsel's father fifty shekels of silver, and she shall be his wife, because he hath humbled her; he may not put her away all his days. Dt. 22:29
He that is a eunuch, whether he have been crushed or cut, shall not come into the congregation of Jehovah. Dt. 23:1
A bastard shall not come into the congregation of Jehovah; even his tenth generation shall not come into the congregation of Jehovah. Dt. 23:2
An Ammonite or Moabite shall not come into the congregation of Jehovah; even their tenth generation shall not come into the congregation of Jehovah for ever; Dt. 23:3
because they met you not with bread and with water on the way, when ye came forth out of Egypt, and because they hired against thee Balaam the son of Beor, of Pethor of Mesopotamia, to curse thee. Dt. 23:4
But Jehovah thy God would not listen to Balaam; and Jehovah thy God turned the curse into blessing unto thee, because Jehovah thy God loved thee. Dt. 23:5
Children that are born to them shall come into the congregation of Jehovah in the third generation. Dt. 23:8
If there be with thee a man that is not clean from what hath happened in the night, then shall he go outside the camp; he shall not come inside the camp; Dt. 23:10
and it shall be, towards evening, he shall bathe in water: and at the going down of the sun he may come inside the camp. Dt. 23:11
Thou shalt have a place also outside the camp, and shalt go forth thither. Dt. 23:12
For Jehovah thy God walketh in the midst of thy camp, to deliver thee, and to give up thine enemies before thee; and thy camp shall be holy, that he see nothing unseemly with thee, and turn away from thee. Dt. 23:14
he shall dwell with thee, even in thy midst, in the place that he shall choose in one of thy gates, where it seemeth good to him; thou shalt not oppress him. Dt. 23:16
There shall be no prostitute amongst the daughters of Israel, nor any Sodomite amongst the sons of Israel. Dt. 23:17
Thou shalt not bring the hire of a harlot, or the price of a dog, into the house of Jehovah thy God for any vow; for even both these are an abomination to Jehovah thy God. Dt. 23:18
of a foreigner thou mayest take interest, but of thy brother thou shalt not take interest; that Jehovah thy God may bless thee in all the business of thy hand in the land whither thou goest to possess it. Dt. 23:20
What is gone out of thy lips thou shalt keep and do, as thou hast vowed to Jehovah thy God, the voluntary-offering that thou hast promised with thy mouth. Dt. 23:23
When thou comest into the standing corn of thy neighbour, thou mayest pluck ears with thy hand; but thou shalt not wave the sickle against thy neighbour's standing corn. Dt. 23:25
And if the latter husband hate her, and write her a letter of divorce, and give it into her hand, and send her out of his house; or if the latter husband die who took her as his wife; Dt. 24:3
her first husband, who sent her away, may not take her again to be his wife, after that she is defiled; for it is an abomination before Jehovah; and thou shalt not cause the land to sin, which Jehovah thy God giveth thee for an inheritance. Dt. 24:4
When a man hath newly taken a wife, he shall not go out with the army, neither shall any kind of business be imposed upon him; he shall be free for his house one year, and shall gladden his wife whom he hath taken. Dt. 24:5
No man shall take the hand-mill or the upper millstone in pledge; for it would be taking life in pledge. Dt. 24:6
If a man be found who hath stolen one of his brethren of the children of Israel, and who hath treated him as a slave and sold him, that thief shall die; and thou shalt put evil away from thy midst. Dt. 24:7
Take heed in the plague of leprosy, that thou take great heed, and do according to all that the priests the Levites shall teach you: as I commanded them shall ye take heed to do. Dt. 24:8
Remember what Jehovah thy God did unto Miriam on the way, after that ye came forth out of Egypt. Dt. 24:9
Thou shalt stand outside, and the man to whom thou hast made a loan shall bring out the pledge to thee without. Dt. 24:11
And if the man be needy, thou shalt not lie down with his pledge; Dt. 24:12
in any case thou shalt return him the pledge at the going down of the sun, that he may sleep in his own upper garment and bless thee; and it shall be righteousness unto thee before Jehovah thy God. Dt. 24:13
on his day thou shalt give him his hire, neither shall the sun go down upon it; for he is poor, and his soul yearneth after it; lest he cry against thee to Jehovah, and it be a sin in thee. Dt. 24:15
The fathers shall not be put to death for the sons, neither shall the sons be put to death for the fathers: every man shall be put to death for his own sin. Dt. 24:16
Thou shalt not pervert the judgment of the stranger, or of the fatherless; and thou shalt not take in pledge a widow's garment. Dt. 24:17
When thou reapest thy harvest in thy field, and forgettest a sheaf in the field, thou shalt not return to fetch it; it shall be for the stranger, for the fatherless, and for the widow; that Jehovah thy God may bless thee in all the work of thy hands. Dt. 24:19
When thou shakest thine olive-tree, thou shalt not go over the boughs again; it shall be for the stranger, for the fatherless, and for the widow. Dt. 24:20
When thou gatherest the grapes of thy vineyard, thou shalt not glean it afterwards; it shall be for the stranger, for the fatherless, and for the widow. Dt. 24:21
And thou shalt remember that thou wast a bondman in the land of Egypt; therefore I command thee to do this thing. Dt. 24:22
If there be a controversy between men, and they resort to judgment, and they judge their case; then they shall justify the righteous, and condemn the wicked. Dt. 25:1
And it shall be if the wicked man have deserved to be beaten, that the judge shall cause him to lie down, and be beaten before his face, according to the measure of his wickedness with a certain number of stripes. Dt. 25:2
Thou shalt not muzzle the ox when he treadeth out the corn. Dt. 25:4
If brethren dwell together, and one of them die, and have no son, the wife of the dead shall not marry a stranger abroad: her husband's brother shall go in unto her, and take her to him as wife, and perform the duty of a husband's brother unto her. Dt. 25:5
And it shall be, that the firstborn that she beareth shall stand in the name of his brother who is dead, that his name be not blotted out from Israel. Dt. 25:6
But if the man like not to take his brother's wife, his brother's wife shall go up to the gate unto the elders, and say, My husband's brother refuseth to raise up unto his brother a name in Israel: he will not perform for me the duty of a husband's brother. Dt. 25:7
Then the elders of his city shall call him and speak unto him; and if he stand to it and say, I like not to take her; Dt. 25:8
then shall his brother's wife come near to him before the eyes of the elders, and draw his sandal from his foot, and spit in his face, and shall answer and say, So shall it be done unto the man that will not build up his brother's house. Dt. 25:9
And his name shall be called in Israel, The house of him that hath his shoe drawn off. Dt. 25:10
When men fight together one with another, and the wife of the one come near to rescue her husband out of the hand of him that smiteth him, and stretch out her hand, and seize him by his secret parts, Dt. 25:11

how he met thee on the way, and smote the hindmost of thee, all the feeble that lagged behind thee, when thou wast faint and weary, and he feared not God. Dt. 25:18
And it shall be, when Jehovah thy God shall have given thee rest from all thine enemies round about, in the land that Jehovah thy God giveth thee for an inheritance to possess it, that thou shalt blot out the remembrance of Amalek from under the heavens; thou shalt not forget it. Dt. 25:19
And it shall be when thou comest into the land that Jehovah thy God giveth thee for an inheritance, and possessest it, and dwellest therein, Dt. 26:1
that thou shalt take of the first of all the fruit of the ground, which thou shalt bring of thy land which Jehovah thy God giveth thee, and shalt put it in a basket, and shalt go unto the place that Jehovah thy God will choose to cause his name to dwell there; Dt. 26:2
and thou shalt come unto the priest that shall be in those days, and say unto him, I profess this day unto Jehovah thy God, that I am come unto the land that Jehovah swore unto our fathers to give us. Dt. 26:3
And the priest shall take the basket out of thy hand, and set it down before the altar of Jehovah thy God. Dt. 26:4
And the Egyptians evil-entreated us, and afflicted us, and laid upon us hard bondage; Dt. 26:6
and we cried to Jehovah, the God of our fathers, and Jehovah heard our voice, and looked on our affliction, and our labour, and our oppression; Dt. 26:7
And now, behold, I have brought the first of the fruits of the land, which thou, Jehovah, hast given me. And thou shalt set it down before Jehovah thy God, and worship before Jehovah thy God. Dt. 26:10
And thou shalt rejoice in all the good that Jehovah thy God hath given to thee, and to thy house, thou, and the Levite, and the stranger that is in thy midst. Dt. 26:11
When thou hast made an end of tithing all the tithes of thy produce in the third year, the year of tithing, thou shalt give it to the Levite, to the stranger, to the fatherless, and to the widow, that they may eat in thy gates, and be filled; Dt. 26:12
and thou shalt say before Jehovah thy God, I have brought away the hallowed things out of the house, and also have given them to the Levite, and to the stranger, to the fatherless, and to the widow, according to all thy commandment which thou hast commanded me; I have not transgressed nor forgotten any of thy commandments: Dt. 26:13
I have not eaten thereof in my mourning, neither have I brought away thereof in uncleanness, nor given thereof for a dead person; I have hearkened to the voice of Jehovah my God; I have done according to all that thou hast commanded me. Dt. 26:14
Look down from thy holy habitation, from the heavens, and bless thy people Israel, and the land that thou hast given us as thou didst swear unto our fathers, a land flowing with milk and honey! Dt. 26:15
so that he should make thee high above all the nations which he hath made, in praise and in name and in honour; and that thou shouldest be a holy people to Jehovah thy God, as he hath said. Dt. 26:19

and thou shalt write upon them all the words of this law, when thou goest over that thou mayest enter into the land which Jehovah thy God giveth thee, a land flowing with milk and honey, as Jehovah the God of thy fathers hath promised thee. Dt. 27:3
And it shall be when ye go over the Jordan, that ye shall set up these stones, as I command you this day, on mount Ebal, and thou shalt plaster them with plaster. Dt. 27:4
of whole stones shalt thou build the altar of Jehovah thy God; and thou shalt offer up burnt-offerings thereon to Jehovah thy God. Dt. 27:6
And thou shalt write upon the stones all the words of this law very plainly. Dt. 27:8
And Moses and the priests, the Levites, spoke to all Israel, saying, Be silent and hearken, Israel! this day thou art become the people of Jehovah thy God. Dt. 27:9
And thou shalt hearken unto the voice of Jehovah thy God, and do his commandments and his statutes, which I command thee this day. Dt. 27:10
And Moses gave commandment to the people the same day, saying, Dt. 27:11
These shall stand to bless the people upon mount Gerizim, when ye have gone over the Jordan: Simeon, and Levi, and Judah, and Issachar, and Joseph, and Benjamin. Dt. 27:12
And the Levites shall declare and say unto all the men of Israel with a loud voice: Dt. 27:14

And it shall come to pass, if thou shalt hearken diligently unto the voice of Jehovah thy God, to take heed to do all his commandments which I command thee this day, that Jehovah thy God will set thee supreme above all nations of the earth; Dt. 28:1
and all these blessings shall come on thee and overtake thee, if thou shalt hearken unto the voice of Jehovah thy God. Dt. 28:2
Blessed shalt thou be in the city, and blessed shalt thou be in the field. Dt. 28:3
Blessed shall be the fruit of thy womb, and the fruit of thy ground, and the fruit of thy cattle, the offspring of thy kine, and the increase of thy sheep. Dt. 28:4

And all peoples of the earth shall see that thou art called by the name of Jehovah, and they shall be afraid of thee. Dt. 28:10
And Jehovah will give thee abundance of good, in the fruit of thy body, and in the fruit of thy cattle, and in the fruit of thy ground, in the land that Jehovah swore unto thy fathers to give thee. Dt. 28:11
Jehovah will open to thee his good treasure, the heavens, to give rain unto thy land in its season, and to bless all the work of thy hand; and thou shalt lend unto many nations, but thou shalt not borrow. Dt. 28:12
And Jehovah will make thee the head, and not the tail; and thou shalt be above only, and thou shalt not be beneath; if thou hearken unto the commandments of Jehovah thy God, which I command thee this day, to keep and to do them, Dt. 28:13
and if thou turn not aside from any of the words that I command thee this day, to the right hand or to the left, to go after other gods to serve them. Dt. 28:14
But it shall come to pass if thou wilt not hearken unto the voice of Jehovah thy God, to take heed to do all his commandments and his statutes which I command thee this day, that all these curses shall come upon thee and overtake thee. Dt. 28:15
Cursed shalt thou be in the city, and cursed shalt thou be in the field. Dt. 28:16
Cursed shall be the fruit of thy womb, and the fruit of thy ground, the offspring of thy kine, and the increase of thy sheep. Dt. 28:18
Jehovah will send upon thee cursing, confusion, and rebuke, in all the business of thy hand which thou doest, until thou be destroyed and until thou perish quickly, because of the wickedness of thy doings, whereby thou hast forsaken me. Dt. 28:20
Jehovah will make the pestilence cleave unto thee, until he have consumed thee from off the land whither thou goest to possess it. Dt. 28:21
And thy heavens which are over thy head shall be brass, and the earth which is under thee, iron. Dt. 28:23
Jehovah will give as the rain of thy land powder and dust; from the heavens shall it come down upon thee until thou be destroyed. Dt. 28:24
Jehovah will give thee up smitten before thine enemies; thou shalt go out against them one way, and by seven ways shalt thou flee before them; and thou shalt be driven hither and thither into all the kingdoms of the earth. Dt. 28:25
And thy carcase shall be meat unto all the fowl of the air, and unto the beasts of the earth, and there shall be no man to scare them away. Dt. 28:26
Jehovah will smite thee with the ulcers of Egypt, and with boils, and with the scab, and with the itch, whereof thou canst not be healed. Dt. 28:27
and thou shalt grope at noonday, as the blind gropeth in darkness, and thou shalt not prosper in thy ways; and thou shalt be only oppressed and spoiled continually, and there shall be none to save. Dt. 28:29
Thy sons and thy daughters shall be given unto another people, and thine eyes shall look, and languish for them all the day long; and there shall be no power in thy hand to help it. Dt. 28:32
The fruit of thy ground and all thy labour, shall a people that thou knowest not eat up; and thou shalt be only oppressed and crushed continually. Dt. 28:33
And thou shalt be mad through the sight of thine eyes which thou shalt see. Dt. 28:34
Jehovah will smite thee in the knees and in the legs with evil ulcers, whereof thou canst not be healed, from the sole of thy foot unto the top of thy head. Dt. 28:35
And thou shalt become an astonishment, a proverb, and a byword, among all the peoples whither Jehovah shall lead thee. Dt. 28:37
Thou shalt carry much seed out into the field, and shalt gather little in; for the locust shall devour it. Dt. 28:38
Thou shalt plant and till vineyards, but shalt drink no wine, nor gather the fruit; for the worms shall eat it. Dt. 28:39
All thy trees and the fruit of thy ground shall the locust possess. Dt. 28:42
The sojourner that is in thy midst shall rise above thee higher and higher, and thou shalt sink down lower and lower. Dt. 28:43
He shall lend to thee, but thou shalt not lend to him: he shall be the head, and thou shalt be the tail. Dt. 28:44
And all these curses shall come upon thee, and shall pursue thee, and overtake thee, until thou be destroyed; because thou hearkenedst not unto the voice of Jehovah thy God, to keep his commandments and his statutes which he commanded thee. Dt. 28:45
Because thou servedst not Jehovah thy God with joyfulness, and with gladness of heart, for the abundance of everything, Dt. 28:47
Jehovah will bring a nation against thee from afar, from the end of the earth, like as the eagle flieth, a nation whose tongue thou understandest not; Dt. 28:49
a nation of fierce countenance, which regardeth not the person of the old, nor is kind to the young; Dt. 28:50
and he shall eat the fruit of thy cattle, and the fruit of thy ground, until thou be destroyed; for he shall not leave thee corn, new wine, or oil, offspring of thy kine, or increase of thy sheep, until he have destroyed thee. Dt. 28:51
And in the siege, and in the straitness, wherewith thine enemies shall distress thee, thou shalt eat the fruit of thine own body, the flesh of thy sons and of thy daughters whom Jehovah thy God hath given thee. Dt. 28:53
The eye of the man in thy midst that is tender and very luxurious shall be evil towards his brother, and the wife of his bosom, and the residue of his children which he hath left; Dt. 28:54
so that he will not give to any of them of the flesh of his children that he eateth, because he hath nothing left him in the siege and in the straitness wherewith thine enemies shall distress thee in all thy gates. Dt. 28:55
The eye of the tender and luxurious woman in thy midst who would not attempt to set the sole of her foot upon the ground from luxuriousness and from tenderness, shall be evil toward the husband of her bosom, and her son, and her daughter, Dt. 28:56
because of her afterbirth which hath come out between her feet, and her children whom she shall bear; for she shall secretly eat them for want of everything in the siege and in the straitness wherewith thine enemy shall distress thee in thy gates. Dt. 28:57
If thou wilt not take heed to do all the words of this law that are written in this book, to fear this glorious and fearful name, JEHOVAH THY GOD; Dt. 28:58
then Jehovah will make thy plagues wonderful, and the plagues of thy seed, great and persistent plagues and evil and persistent sicknesses; Dt. 28:59
and he will bring upon thee all the diseases of Egypt which thou art afraid of, and they shall cleave unto thee. Dt. 28:60
Also every sickness and every plague which is not written in the book of this law, them will Jehovah bring upon thee, until thou be destroyed. Dt. 28:61
And ye shall be left a small company, whereas ye were as the stars of heaven for multitude; because thou hast not hearkened to the voice of Jehovah thy God. Dt. 28:62
And it shall come to pass, that as Jehovah rejoiced over you to do you good and to multiply you, so Jehovah will rejoice over you to cause you to perish, and to destroy you; and ye shall be plucked from off the land whereunto thou goest to possess it. Dt. 28:63
And Jehovah will scatter thee among all peoples, from one end of the earth even unto the other end of the earth; and thou shalt there serve other gods, whom thou hast not known, neither thou nor thy fathers, wood and stone. Dt. 28:64
And among these nations shalt thou have no rest, neither shall the sole of thy foot have a resting-place, and Jehovah shall give thee there a trembling heart, languishing of the eyes, and pining of the soul. Dt. 28:65
In the morning thou shalt say, Would that it were even! and in the evening thou shalt say, Would that it were morning! through the fright of thy heart wherewith thou shalt be in terror, and through the sight of thine eyes which thou shalt see. Dt. 28:67
And Jehovah will bring thee into Egypt again with ships, by the way whereof I said unto thee, Thou shalt see it again no more; and there ye shall be sold unto your enemies for bondmen and bondwomen, and there shall be no man to buy you. Dt. 28:68
These are the words of the covenant that Jehovah commanded Moses to make with the children of Israel in the land of Moab, besides the covenant that he made with them in Horeb. Dt. 29:1
And Moses called to all Israel, and said unto them, Ye have seen all that Jehovah did before your eyes in the land of Egypt to Pharaoh, and to all his bondmen, and to all his land: Dt. 29:2
the great trials that thine eyes have seen, those great signs and wonders. Dt. 29:3
And I have led you forty years in the wilderness; your clothes are not grown old upon you, and thy sandal is not grown old upon thy foot; Dt. 29:5
And ye came to this place; and Sihon the king of Heshbon and Og the king of Bashan came out against us for battle, and we smote them. Dt. 29:7
And we took their land, and gave it for an inheritance to the Reubenites, and to the Gadites, and to the half tribe of the Manassites. Dt. 29:8
Ye shall keep then the words of this covenant, and do them, that ye may prosper in all that ye do. Dt. 29:9
Ye stand this day all of you before Jehovah your God: your chiefs of your tribes, your elders, and your officers, all the men of Israel, Dt. 29:10
your little ones, your wives, and thy stranger that is in thy camp, as well the hewer of thy wood as the drawer of thy water; Dt. 29:11
that thou mayest enter into the covenant of Jehovah thy God, and into his oath, which Jehovah thy God maketh with thee this day; Dt. 29:12
(for ye know how we dwelt in the land of Egypt, and how we came through the nations which ye passed; Dt. 29:16
lest there should be among you man, or woman, or family, or tribe, whose heart turneth away this day from Jehovah our God, to go and serve the gods of these nations; lest there should be among you a root that beareth gall and wormwood, Dt. 29:18
and it come to pass, when he heareth the words of this curse, that he bless himself in his heart, saying, I shall have peace, though I walk in the stubbornness of my heart, to sweep away the drunken with the thirsty. Dt. 29:19
Jehovah will not pardon him, but the anger of Jehovah and his jealousy will then smoke against that man, and all the curse shall be upon him that is written in this book; and Jehovah will blot out his name from under the heavens; Dt. 29:20
and Jehovah will separate him for mischief out of all the tribes of Israel, according to all the curses of the covenant that is written in this book of the law. Dt. 29:21
And the generation to come, your children who shall rise up after you, and the foreigner that shall come from a far land, shall say, when they see the plagues of that land, and its sicknesses wherewith Jehovah hath visited it, Dt. 29:22
that the whole ground thereof is brimstone and salt, and burning, that it is not sown, nor beareth, and no grass groweth in it, like the overthrow of Sodom and Gomorrah, Admah and Zeboim, which Jehovah overthrew in his anger and in his fury: Dt. 29:23
even all nations shall say, Why has Jehovah done thus to this land? whence the heat of this great anger? Dt. 29:24
And men shall say, Because they have forsaken the covenant of Jehovah the God of their fathers, which he had made with them when he brought them forth out of the land of Egypt; Dt. 29:25
And the anger of Jehovah was kindled against this land, to bring upon it all the curse that is written in this book; Dt. 29:27
The hidden things belong to Jehovah our God; but the revealed ones are ours and our children's for ever, to do all the words of this law. Dt. 29:29
And it shall come to pass, when all these things are come upon thee, the blessing and the curse, which I have set before thee, and thou shalt take them to heart among all the nations whither Jehovah thy God hath driven thee, Dt. 30:1
that then Jehovah thy God will turn thy captivity, and have compassion upon thee, and will gather thee again from all the peoples whither Jehovah thy God hath scattered thee. Dt. 30:3
Though there were of you driven out unto the end of the heavens, from thence will Jehovah thy God gather thee, and from thence will he fetch thee; Dt. 30:4
and Jehovah thy God will bring thee into the land that thy fathers possessed, and thou shalt possess it; and he will do thee good, and multiply thee above thy fathers. Dt. 30:5
And Jehovah thy God will circumcise thy heart, and the heart of thy seed, to love Jehovah thy God with all thy heart and with all thy soul, that thou mayest live. Dt. 30:6
But thou shalt return and hearken to the voice of Jehovah, and do all his commandments which I command thee this day. Dt. 30:8
And Jehovah thy God will make thee abound in every work of thy hand, in the fruit of thy body, and in the fruit of thy cattle, and in the fruit of thy ground, for good; for Jehovah will again rejoice over thee for good, as he rejoiced over thy fathers; Dt. 30:9
if thou shalt hearken unto the voice of Jehovah thy God, to keep his commandments and his statutes which are written in this book of the law; if thou turn to Jehovah thy God with all thy heart and with all thy soul. Dt. 30:10
It is not in the heavens, that thou shouldest say, Who shall go up for us to the heavens, and bring it to us, that we should hear it and do it? Dt. 30:12
And it is not beyond the sea, that thou shouldest say, Who shall go over the sea for us, and bring it to us, that we should hear it and do it? Dt. 30:13
For the word is very near to thee, in thy mouth and in thy heart, that thou mayest do it. Dt. 30:14
in that I command thee this day to love Jehovah thy God, to walk in his ways, and to keep his commandments and his statutes and his ordinances, that thou mayest live and multiply, and that Jehovah thy God may bless thee in the land whither thou goest to possess it. Dt. 30:16
I denounce unto you this day that ye shall surely perish; ye shall not prolong your days upon the land whereunto thou passest over the Jordan to possess it. Dt. 30:18
in loving Jehovah thy God, in hearkening to his voice, and in cleaving to him -- for this is thy life and the length of thy days -- that thou mayest dwell in the land which Jehovah swore unto thy fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give them. Dt. 30:20
And Jehovah will do to them as he did to Sihon and to Og, the kings of the Amorites, and to their land; whom he destroyed. Dt. 31:4
And when Jehovah giveth them up before you, ye shall do to them according to all the commandment which I have commanded you. Dt. 31:5
And Moses called to Joshua, and said to him in the sight of all Israel, Be strong and courageous, for thou must go with this people into the land which Jehovah hath sworn unto their fathers to give them; and thou shalt cause them to inherit it. Dt. 31:7
And Moses wrote this law, and delivered it to the priests, the sons of Levi, who bore the ark of the covenant of Jehovah, and to all the elders of Israel. Dt. 31:9
And Moses commanded them, saying, At the end of every seven years, at the set time of the year of release, at the feast of tabernacles, Dt. 31:10
when all Israel cometh to appear before Jehovah thy God in the place which he will choose, thou shalt read this law before all Israel in their ears. Dt. 31:11
Gather the people together, the men, and the women, and the children, and thy stranger that is within thy gates, that they may hear, and that they may learn, and fear Jehovah your God, and take heed to do all the words of this law; Dt. 31:12
and that their children who do not know it may hear it and learn, that they may fear Jehovah your God, as long as ye live in the land, whereunto ye pass over the Jordan to possess it. Dt. 31:13
And Jehovah said to Moses, Lo, the days are near for thee to die; call Joshua, and present yourselves at the tent of meeting, that I may give him a charge. And Moses and Joshua went and presented themselves at the tent of meeting. Dt. 31:14
And Jehovah appeared at the tent in the pillar of cloud; and the pillar of cloud stood over the entrance to the tent. Dt. 31:15
And Jehovah said to Moses, Behold, thou shalt sleep with thy fathers; and this people will rise up, and go a whoring after the strange gods of the land into which they enter, and will forsake me, and break my covenant which I have made with them. Dt. 31:16
And I will entirely hide my face in that day for all the evils that they have wrought, because they turned unto other gods. Dt. 31:18
And now, write ye this song, and teach it to the children of Israel; put it in their mouths, that this song may be a witness for me against the children of Israel. Dt. 31:19
For I shall bring them into the land which I swore unto their fathers, which floweth with milk and honey; and they will eat and fill themselves, and wax fat, and will turn unto other gods, and serve them, and despise me, and break my covenant. Dt. 31:20
And it shall come to pass, when many evils and troubles have befallen them, that this song shall testify against them as a witness; for it shall not be forgotten out of the mouths of their seed; for I know their imagination which they are forming already this day, before I bring them into the land which I have sworn unto them. Dt. 31:21
And Moses wrote this song the same day, and taught it to the children of Israel. Dt. 31:22
And Jehovah commanded Joshua the son of Nun, and said, Be strong and courageous; for thou shalt bring the children of Israel into the land which I have sworn unto them; and I will be with thee. Dt. 31:23
And it came to pass, when Moses had ended writing the words of this law in a book, until their conclusion, Dt. 31:24
that Moses commanded the Levites, who bore the ark of the covenant of Jehovah, saying, Dt. 31:25
Take this book of the law, and put it at the side of the ark of the covenant of Jehovah your God, that it may be there for a witness against thee; Dt. 31:26
Gather to me all the elders of your tribes, and your officers, that I may speak these words in their ears, and take heaven and earth to witness against them. Dt. 31:28
For I know that after my death ye will utterly corrupt yourselves, and will turn aside from the way which I have commanded you; and mischief will befall you at the end of days; because ye do evil in the sight of Jehovah, to provoke him to anger through the work of your hands. Dt. 31:29
And Moses spoke in the ears of the whole congregation of Israel the words of this song, until their conclusion. Dt. 31:30
* Give ear, ye heavens, and I will speak; And hear, O earth, the words of my mouth! Dt. 32:1
My doctrine shall drop as rain, My speech flow down as dew, As small rain upon the tender herb, And as showers on the grass. Dt. 32:2
For the name of Jehovah will I proclaim: Ascribe greatness unto our God! Dt. 32:3
He is the Rock, his work is perfect, For all his ways are righteousness; A *God of faithfulness without deceit, Just and right is he. Dt. 32:4
Remember the days of old, Consider the years of generation to generation; Ask thy father, and he will shew thee; Thine elders, and they will tell thee. Dt. 32:7
When the Most High assigned to the nations their inheritance, When he separated the sons of Adam, He set the bounds of the peoples According to the number of the children of Israel. Dt. 32:8
For Jehovah's portion is his people; Jacob the lot of his inheritance. Dt. 32:9
He found him in a desert land, And in the waste, howling wilderness; He compassed him about, he watched over him, He preserved him as the apple of his eye. Dt. 32:10
As the eagle stirreth up its nest, Hovereth over its young, Spreadeth out its wings, Taketh them, beareth them on its feathers, Dt. 32:11
He made him ride on the high places of the earth, And he ate the produce of the field; And he made him suck honey out of the crag, And oil out of the flinty rock; Dt. 32:13
Cream of kine, and milk of sheep, With the fat of lambs, And rams of the breed of Bashan, and he-goats, With the fat of kidneys of wheat; And thou didst drink pure wine, the blood of the grape. Dt. 32:14
Then Jeshurun grew fat, and kicked -- Thou art waxen fat, Thou art grown thick, And thou art covered with fatness; -- He gave up +God who made him, And lightly esteemed the Rock of his salvation. Dt. 32:15
Of the Rock that begot thee wast thou unmindful, And thou hast forgotten *God who brought thee forth. Dt. 32:18
And Jehovah saw it, and despised them, Because of the provoking of his sons and of his daughters. Dt. 32:19
For a fire is kindled in mine anger, And it shall burn into the lowest Sheol, And shall consume the earth and its produce, And set fire to the foundations of the mountains. Dt. 32:22
They shall be consumed with hunger, and devoured with burning heat, And with poisonous pestilence; And the teeth of beasts will I send against them, With the poison of what crawleth in the dust. Dt. 32:24
From without shall the sword bereave them, and in the chambers, terror -- Both the young man and the virgin, The suckling with the man of gray hairs. Dt. 32:25
I would say, I will scatter, I will make the remembrance of them to cease from among men, Dt. 32:26
If I did not fear provocation from the enemy, Lest their adversaries should misunderstand it, Lest they should say, Our hand is high, and Jehovah has not done all this. Dt. 32:27
For their vine is of the vine of Sodom, And of the fields of Gomorrah: Their grapes are grapes of poison, Bitter are their clusters; Dt. 32:32
Their wine is the poison of dragons, And the cruel venom of vipers. Dt. 32:33
Vengeance is mine, and recompense, For the time when their foot shall slip. For the day of their calamity is at hand, And the things that shall come upon them make haste. Dt. 32:35
Who ate the fat of their sacrifices, And drank the wine of their drink-offering? Let them rise up and help you, That there may be a protection over you. Dt. 32:38
For I lift up my hand to the heavens, and say, I live for ever! Dt. 32:40
Mine arrows will I make drunk with blood, And my sword shall devour flesh; I will make them drunk with the blood of the slain and of the captives, With the head of the princes of the enemy. Dt. 32:42
Shout for joy, ye nations, with his people, For he avengeth the blood of his servants, And rendereth vengeance to his enemies, And maketh atonement for his land, for his people. Dt. 32:43
And Moses came and spoke all the words of this song in the ears of the people, he and Hoshea the son of Nun. Dt. 32:44
he said unto them, Set your hearts unto all the words that I testify among you this day, which ye shall command your children to take heed to do, all the words of this law. Dt. 32:46
For it is no vain word for you, but it is your life, and through this word ye shall prolong your days on the land whereunto ye pass over the Jordan to possess it. Dt. 32:47
Go up into this mountain Abarim, mount Nebo, which is in the land of Moab, which is opposite Jericho; and behold the land of Canaan, which I give unto the children of Israel for a possession, Dt. 32:49
and die on the mountain whither thou goest up, and be gathered unto thy peoples, as Aaron thy brother died on mount Hor, and was gathered unto his peoples; Dt. 32:50
because ye trespassed against me among the children of Israel at the waters of Meribah-Kadesh, in the wilderness of Zin; because ye hallowed me not in the midst of the children of Israel. Dt. 32:51
For thou shalt see the land before thee; but thou shalt not go thither unto the land which I give the children of Israel. Dt. 32:52
* And this is the blessing, wherewith Moses the man of God blessed the children of Israel before his death. Dt. 33:1
And he said, Jehovah came from Sinai, And rose up from Seir unto them; He shone forth from mount Paran, And he came from the myriads of the sanctuary; From his right hand went forth a law of fire for them. Dt. 33:2
Yea, he loveth the peoples, All his saints are in thy hand, And they sit down at thy feet; Each receiveth of thy words. Dt. 33:3
Moses commanded us a law, The inheritance of the congregation of Jacob. Dt. 33:4
And he was king in Jeshurun, When the heads of the people And the tribes of Israel were gathered together. Dt. 33:5
And this of Judah; and he said, Hear, Jehovah, the voice of Judah, And bring him unto his people; May his hands strive for them; And be thou a help to him against his oppressors. Dt. 33:7
And of Levi he said, Thy Thummim and thy Urim are for thy godly one, Whom thou didst prove at Massah, With whom thou didst strive at the waters of Meribah; Dt. 33:8
Bless, Jehovah, his substance! And let the work of his hands please thee; Crush the loins of his adversaries, And of them that hate him, that they may never rise again! Dt. 33:11
Of Benjamin he said, The beloved of Jehovah, -- he shall dwell in safety by him; He will cover him all the day long, And dwell between his shoulders. Dt. 33:12
And of Joseph he said, Blessed of Jehovah be his land! By the precious things of the heavens, By the dew, and by the deep that lieth beneath, Dt. 33:13
And by the precious fruits of the sun, And by the precious things put forth by the months, Dt. 33:14
And by the best things of the ancient mountains, And by the precious things of the everlasting hills, Dt. 33:15
And by the precious things of the earth and the fulness thereof. And let the good will of him that dwelt in the bush Come upon the head of Joseph, Upon the top of the head of him that was separated from his brethren. Dt. 33:16
His majesty is as the firstling of his ox; And his horns are as the horns of a buffalo. With them shall he push the peoples Together to the ends of the earth. These are the myriads of Ephraim, And these are the thousands of Manasseh. Dt. 33:17
They shall invite the peoples to the mountain; There they shall offer sacrifices of righteousness; For they will suck the abundance of the seas, And the hidden treasures of the sand. Dt. 33:19
And of Gad he said, Blessed be he that enlargeth Gad! As a lion doth he dwell, and teareth the arm, even the top of the head. Dt. 33:20
And he provided the first part for himself, For there was reserved the portion of the lawgiver; And he came with the heads of the people; The justice of Jehovah and his judgments Hath he executed with Israel. Dt. 33:21
And of Naphtali he said, Naphtali, satisfied with favour, And full of the blessing of Jehovah, Possess thou the west and the south. Dt. 33:23
There is none like unto the *God of Jeshurun, Who rideth upon the heavens to thy help, And in his majesty, upon the clouds. Dt. 33:26
Thy refuge is the God of old, And underneath are the eternal arms; And he shall drive out the enemy from before thee, And shall say, Destroy them! Dt. 33:27
And Israel shall dwell in safety alone, The fountain of Jacob, in a land of corn and new wine; Also his heavens shall drop down dew. Dt. 33:28
Happy art thou, Israel! Who is like unto thee, a people saved by Jehovah, The shield of thy help, And the sword of thine excellency? And thine enemies shall come cringing to thee; And thou shalt tread upon their high places. Dt. 33:29
And Moses went up from the plains of Moab to mount Nebo, to the top of Pisgah, which is opposite Jericho. And Jehovah shewed him the whole land, Gilead to Dan, Dt. 34:1
and all Naphtali, and the land of Ephraim, and Manasseh, and all the land of Judah, unto the hindmost sea, Dt. 34:2
and the south, and the plain of the valley of Jericho, the city of palm-trees, to Zoar. Dt. 34:3
And Jehovah said unto him, This is the land that I swore unto Abraham, unto Isaac, and unto Jacob, saying, Unto thy seed will I give it: I have caused thee to see it with thine eyes, but thou shalt not go over thither. Dt. 34:4
And Moses the servant of Jehovah died there in the land of Moab, according to the word of Jehovah. Dt. 34:5

And the children of Israel wept for Moses in the plains of Moab thirty days; and the days of weeping and mourning for Moses were ended. Dt. 34:8
And Joshua the son of Nun was filled with the spirit of wisdom, for Moses had laid his hands upon him; and the children of Israel hearkened unto him, and did as Jehovah had commanded Moses. Dt. 34:9
according to all the signs and wonders that Jehovah had sent him to do in the land of Egypt, to Pharaoh, and to all his servants, and to all his land; Dt. 34:11
and according to all that mighty hand; and according to all the great terribleness that Moses had wrought in the sight of all Israel. Dt. 34:12
And it came to pass after the death of Moses the servant of Jehovah, that Jehovah spoke to Joshua the son of Nun, Moses' attendant, saying, Josh. 1:1
Moses my servant is dead; and now, rise up, go over this Jordan, thou and all this people, into the land which I give unto them, to the children of Israel. Josh. 1:2
Every place whereon the sole of your foot shall tread have I given to you, as I said unto Moses. Josh. 1:3
From the wilderness and this Lebanon to the great river, the river Euphrates, the whole land of the Hittites, to the great sea, toward the going down of the sun, shall be your border. Josh. 1:4
None shall be able to stand before thee all the days of thy life: as I was with Moses, so will I be with thee; I will not leave thee, neither will I forsake thee. Josh. 1:5
Be strong and courageous, for thou shalt cause this people to inherit the land which I have sworn unto their fathers to give them. Josh. 1:6
Only be strong and very courageous, that thou mayest take heed to do according to all the law that Moses my servant commanded thee. Turn not from it to the right or to the left, that thou mayest prosper whithersoever thou goest. Josh. 1:7
This book of the law shall not depart from thy mouth; and thou shalt meditate upon it day and night, that thou mayest take heed to do according to all that is written therein; for then shalt thou have good success in thy ways, and then shalt thou prosper. Josh. 1:8

And to the Reubenites and to the Gadites and to half the tribe of Manasseh spoke Joshua, saying, Josh. 1:12
Remember the word that Moses the servant of Jehovah commanded you, saying, Jehovah your God has given you rest and has given you this land. Josh. 1:13
Your wives, your little ones, and your cattle shall abide in the land that Moses gave you on this side of the Jordan, but ye, all the valiant men, shall go over in array before your brethren and help them, Josh. 1:14
until Jehovah give your brethren rest as to you, and they also take possession of the land which Jehovah your God giveth them; then shall ye return into the land of your possession and possess it, which Moses the servant of Jehovah gave you on this side of the Jordan toward the sun-rising. Josh. 1:15

For we have heard that Jehovah dried up the waters of the Red sea before you when ye came out of Egypt; and what ye did to the two kings of the Amorites that were beyond the Jordan, to Sihon and to Og, whom ye utterly destroyed. Josh. 2:10
We heard of it, and our heart melted, and there remained no more spirit in any man because of you; for Jehovah your God, he is God in the heavens above and on the earth beneath. Josh. 2:11
And the men said to her, Our lives shall pay for yours, if ye do not make this our business known; and it shall be when Jehovah shall give us the land, that we will deal kindly and truly with thee. Josh. 2:14
And she let them down by a cord through the window; for her house was upon the city-wall, and she dwelt upon the wall. Josh. 2:15
And she said to them, Go to the mountain, that the pursuers may not meet with you; and hide yourselves there three days, until the pursuers have returned; and afterwards go your way. Josh. 2:16
And the men said to her, We will be quit of this thine oath which thou hast made us swear. Josh. 2:17
Behold, when we come into the land, thou shalt bind in the window this line of scarlet thread by which thou hast let us down; and thou shalt gather to thee in the house thy father, and thy mother, and thy brethren, and all thy father's household; Josh. 2:18
and it shall be, that whoever shall go out of the doors of thy house into the street, -- his blood shall be upon his head, and we shall be innocent; but every one who shall be with thee in the house, his blood shall be upon our head, if any hand be upon him. Josh. 2:19
And she said, According to your words, so be it. And she sent them away, and they departed. And she bound the scarlet line in the window. Josh. 2:21
And they went, and came to the mountain, and remained there three days, until the pursuers had returned; and the pursuers sought them all the way, and found them not. Josh. 2:22
And the two men returned and came down from the mountain, and went over and came to Joshua the son of Nun, and related to him everything that had happened to them. Josh. 2:23
And they said to Joshua, Of a surety Jehovah has given the whole land into our hands, and even all the inhabitants of the land faint because of us. Josh. 2:24
And Joshua rose early in the morning; and they removed from Shittim, and came to the Jordan, he and all the children of Israel, and lodged there before they passed over. Josh. 3:1
And it came to pass at the end of three days, that the officers went through the camp; Josh. 3:2
and they commanded the people, saying, When ye see the ark of the covenant of Jehovah your God, and the priests the Levites bearing it, then remove from your place, and go after it; Josh. 3:3
yet there shall be a distance between you and it, about two thousand cubits by measure. Ye shall not come near it, that ye may know the way by which ye must go; for ye have not passed this way heretofore. Josh. 3:4
And Joshua said to the people, Hallow yourselves; for to-morrow Jehovah will do wonders in your midst. Josh. 3:5
And Joshua spoke to the priests, saying, Take up the ark of the covenant, and go over before the people. And they took up the ark of the covenant, and went before the people. Josh. 3:6
And Jehovah said to Joshua, This day will I begin to magnify thee in the sight of all Israel, that they may know that as I was with Moses, so will I be with thee. Josh. 3:7
And thou shalt command the priests who bear the ark of the covenant, saying, When ye come to the edge of the waters of the Jordan, stand still in the Jordan. Josh. 3:8
And Joshua said to the children of Israel, Come hither, and hear the words of Jehovah your God. Josh. 3:9
And Joshua said, Hereby shall ye know that the living *God is in your midst, and that he will without fail dispossess from before you the Canaanites, and the Hittites, and the Hivites, and the Perizzites, and the Girgashites, and the Amorites, and the Jebusites. Josh. 3:10
Behold, the ark of the covenant of the Lord of all the earth is going over before you into the Jordan. Josh. 3:11
And now take you twelve men out of the tribes of Israel, one man for each tribe. Josh. 3:12
And it shall come to pass, when the soles of the feet of the priests who bear the ark of Jehovah, the Lord of all the earth, rest in the waters of the Jordan, the waters of the Jordan, the waters flowing down from above, shall be cut off, and shall stand up in a heap. Josh. 3:13
And it came to pass when the people removed from their tents, to pass over the Jordan, that the priests bearing the ark of the covenant were before the people; Josh. 3:14
and when they that bore the ark were come to the Jordan, and the feet of the priests who bore the ark dipped in the edge of the water (and the Jordan is full over all its banks throughout the days of harvest), Josh. 3:15
the waters which flowed down from above stood and rose up in a heap, very far, by Adam, the city that is beside Zaretan; and those that flowed down towards the sea of the plain, the salt sea, were completely cut off. And the people went over opposite to Jericho. Josh. 3:16
And the priests who bore the ark of the covenant of Jehovah stood firm on dry ground in the midst of the Jordan. And all Israel went over on dry ground, until all the nation had completely gone over the Jordan. Josh. 3:17
And it came to pass when the whole nation had completely gone over the Jordan, that Jehovah spoke to Joshua, saying, Josh. 4:1
Take you twelve men out of the people, one man out of every tribe, Josh. 4:2
and command them, saying, Take up hence out of the midst of the Jordan, from the place where the priests' feet stood firm, twelve stones, and carry them over with you, and lay them down in the lodging-place where ye shall lodge this night. Josh. 4:3
And Joshua called the twelve men, whom he had appointed of the children of Israel, a man out of every tribe; Josh. 4:4
and Joshua said to them, Pass before the ark of Jehovah your God into the midst of the Jordan, and lift up each of you a stone and put it upon his shoulder, according to the number of the tribes of the children of Israel, Josh. 4:5
then ye shall say to them, That the waters of the Jordan were cut off before the ark of the covenant of Jehovah; when it went through the Jordan, the waters of the Jordan were cut off. And these stones shall be for a memorial unto the children of Israel for ever. Josh. 4:7
And the children of Israel did so, as Joshua had commanded, and took up twelve stones out of the midst of the Jordan, as Jehovah had spoken to Joshua, according to the number of the tribes of the children of Israel; and they carried them over with them to the lodging-place, and laid them down there. Josh. 4:8
And twelve stones did Joshua set up in the midst of the Jordan, in the place where the feet of the priests who bore the ark of the covenant had stood firm; and they are there to this day. Josh. 4:9
And the priests who bore the ark stood in the midst of the Jordan, until everything was finished that Jehovah had commanded Joshua to speak unto the people, according to all that Moses had commanded Joshua. And the people hasted and passed over. Josh. 4:10
And it came to pass, when all the people had completely gone over, that the ark of Jehovah went over, and the priests, in the presence of the people. Josh. 4:11
And the children of Reuben, and the children of Gad, and the half tribe of Manasseh, went over in array before the children of Israel, as Moses had spoken to them. Josh. 4:12
About forty thousand armed for military service passed over before Jehovah to the war, unto the plains of Jericho. Josh. 4:13
On that day Jehovah magnified Joshua in the sight of all Israel; and they feared him, as they had feared Moses, all the days of his life. Josh. 4:14
Command the priests who bear the ark of the testimony, that they come up out of the Jordan. Josh. 4:16
And Joshua commanded the priests, saying, Come up out of the Jordan. Josh. 4:17
And it came to pass when the priests who bore the ark of the covenant of Jehovah had come up out of the midst of the Jordan, when the soles of the priests' feet were lifted up on to the dry land, that the waters of the Jordan returned to their place, and they flowed as previously, over all its banks. Josh. 4:18
And the people came up out of the Jordan on the tenth of the first month, and encamped in Gilgal, on the eastern extremity of Jericho. Josh. 4:19
And those twelve stones which they had taken out of the Jordan did Joshua set up in Gilgal. Josh. 4:20
And he spoke to the children of Israel, saying, When your children hereafter ask their fathers, saying, What mean these stones? Josh. 4:21
because Jehovah your God dried up the waters of the Jordan from before you, until ye had passed over, as Jehovah your God did to the Red sea, which he dried up from before us, until we had passed over; Josh. 4:23
that all peoples of the earth might know the hand of Jehovah, that it is mighty; that ye might fear Jehovah your God continually. Josh. 4:24
And it came to pass when all the kings of the Amorites, who were beyond the Jordan westward, and all the kings of the Canaanites, who were by the sea, heard that Jehovah had dried up the waters of the Jordan from before the children of Israel, until they had passed over, that their heart melted, and there was no spirit in them any more, because of the children of Israel. Josh. 5:1
At that time Jehovah said to Joshua, Make thee stone-knives, and circumcise again the children of Israel the second time. Josh. 5:2
And Joshua made him stone-knives, and circumcised the children of Israel at the hill of Araloth. Josh. 5:3
And this is the cause why Joshua circumcised them: all the people that had come out of Egypt, the males, all the men of war, had died in the wilderness on the way, after they came out of Egypt. Josh. 5:4
For all the people that came out were circumcised; but all the people that were born in the wilderness on the way, after they came out of Egypt, them had they not circumcised. Josh. 5:5
For the children of Israel had walked forty years in the wilderness, till the whole nation of men of war had perished who had come out of Egypt, who had not hearkened to the voice of Jehovah; to whom Jehovah had sworn that he would not show them the land which Jehovah had sworn unto their fathers that he would give us, a land flowing with milk and honey. Josh. 5:6
And their sons whom he raised up in their stead, them Joshua circumcised, for they were uncircumcised, because they had not circumcised them on the way. Josh. 5:7
And it came to pass when the whole nation had finished being circumcised, that they abode in their place in the camp, till they were whole. Josh. 5:8
And Jehovah said to Joshua, This day have I rolled away the reproach of Egypt from off you. And the name of the place was called Gilgal to this day. Josh. 5:9
And the children of Israel encamped in Gilgal, and held the passover on the fourteenth day of the month, at even, in the plains of Jericho. Josh. 5:10
And they ate of the old corn of the land on the morrow after the passover, unleavened loaves, and roasted corn on that same day. Josh. 5:11
And the manna ceased on the morrow, when they had eaten of the old corn of the land; and there was no more manna for the children of Israel; and they ate of the produce of the land of Canaan that year. Josh. 5:12
And he said, No; for as captain of the army of Jehovah am I now come. Then Joshua fell upon his face to the earth, and worshipped, and said to him, What saith my lord unto his servant? Josh. 5:14
And the captain of Jehovah's army said to Joshua, Loose thy sandal from off thy foot: for the place whereon thou standest is holy. And Joshua did so. Josh. 5:15
Now Jericho was shut up and was barred, because of the children of Israel: none went out, and none came in. Josh. 6:1
And Jehovah said to Joshua, See, I have given into thy hand Jericho, and the king thereof, and the valiant men. Josh. 6:2
And ye shall go round the city, all the men of war, encompassing the city once. Thus shalt thou do six days. Josh. 6:3
And seven priests shall carry before the ark seven blast-trumpets; and on the seventh day ye shall go round the city seven times, and the priests shall blow with the trumpets. Josh. 6:4
And it shall come to pass when they make a long blast with the blast-horn, that all the people on hearing the sound of the trumpet shall shout with a great shout; and the wall of the city shall fall flat, and the people shall go up, each one straight before him. Josh. 6:5
And Joshua the son of Nun called the priests, and said to them, Carry the ark of the covenant, and seven priests shall carry seven blast-trumpets before the ark of Jehovah. Josh. 6:6
And he said to the people, Pass on, go round the city, and they that are armed shall pass on before the ark of Jehovah. Josh. 6:7
And it came to pass when Joshua had spoken to the people, that the seven priests carrying the seven blast-trumpets before Jehovah passed on and blew with the trumpets; and the ark of the covenant of Jehovah went after them. Josh. 6:8
And the armed men went before the priests who blew with the trumpets, and the rearguard came after the ark; they blew with the trumpets in marching. Josh. 6:9
And Joshua had commanded the people, saying, Ye shall not shout, nor let your voice be heard, neither shall a word proceed out of your mouth, until the day I say to you, Shout; then shall ye shout. Josh. 6:10
And the ark of Jehovah went round the city, encompassing it once; and they came into the camp, and lodged in the camp. Josh. 6:11
And Joshua rose early in the morning, and the priests carried the ark of Jehovah. Josh. 6:12
And the seven priests carrying the seven blast-trumpets before the ark of Jehovah went on and blew continually with the trumpets; and the armed men went before them, and the rearguard went after the ark of Jehovah; they blew with the trumpets in marching. Josh. 6:13
And on the second day they went round the city once, and returned into the camp. So they did six days. Josh. 6:14
And it was so that on the seventh day they rose early, about the morning-dawn, and went round the city after the same manner seven times; only on that day they went round the city seven times. Josh. 6:15
And it came to pass the seventh time, when the priests blew with the trumpets, that Joshua said to the people, Shout; for Jehovah has given you the city. Josh. 6:16
And the city shall be accursed, it and all that is in it, to Jehovah; only Rahab the harlot shall live, she and all that are with her in the house, because she hid the messengers that we sent. Josh. 6:17
But in any wise keep from the accursed thing, lest ye make yourselves accursed in taking of the accursed thing, and make the camp of Israel a curse, and trouble it. Josh. 6:18
And all the silver, and gold, and vessels of copper and iron, shall be holy to Jehovah; they shall come into the treasury of Jehovah. Josh. 6:19
And the people shouted, and they blew with the trumpets. And it came to pass when the people heard the sound of the trumpets, and the people shouted with a great shout, that the wall fell down flat; and the people went up into the city, each one straight before him, and they took the city. Josh. 6:20
And they utterly destroyed all that was in the city; both man and woman, young and old, and ox, and sheep, and ass, with the edge of the sword. Josh. 6:21
And Joshua said to the two men that had spied out the country, Go into the harlot's house and bring out thence the woman, and all that she has, as ye swore unto her. Josh. 6:22
And the young men, the spies, went in and brought out Rahab, and her father, and her mother, and her brethren, and all that she had: all her kindred did they bring out, and they left them outside the camp of Israel. Josh. 6:23
And they burned the city with fire, and all that was therein; only the silver, and the gold, and the vessels of copper and of iron, they put into the treasury of the house of Jehovah. Josh. 6:24
And Joshua saved alive Rahab the harlot, and her father's household, and all that she had, and she dwelt in the midst of Israel to this day; because she hid the messengers whom Joshua had sent to spy out Jericho. Josh. 6:25
And Joshua swore at that time, saying, Cursed be the man before Jehovah who shall rise up and build this city Jericho! In his first-born shall he lay its foundation, and in his youngest son shall he set up its gates. Josh. 6:26
And Jehovah was with Joshua; and his fame was in all the land. Josh. 6:27
But the children of Israel committed unfaithfulness in that which had been brought under the curse: Achan, the son of Carmi, the son of Zabdi, the son of Zerah, of the tribe of Judah, took of the accursed thing; and the anger of Jehovah was kindled against the children of Israel. Josh. 7:1
And Joshua sent men from Jericho to Ai, which is beside Beth-Aven, on the east side of Bethel, and spoke to them, saying, Go up and spy out the country. And the men went up and spied out Ai. Josh. 7:2
And they returned to Joshua, and said to him, Let not all the people go up; let about two or three thousand men go up and smite Ai; make not all the people to toil thither, for they are few. Josh. 7:3
And there went up thither of the people about three thousand men, but they fled before the men of Ai. Josh. 7:4
And the men of Ai smote of them about thirty-six men; and they pursued them from before the gate to Shebarim, and smote them on the descent. Then the hearts of the people melted, and became as water. Josh. 7:5
And Joshua rent his clothes, and fell to the earth upon his face before the ark of Jehovah until the evening, he and the elders of Israel, and threw dust upon their heads. Josh. 7:6
And Joshua said, Alas, Lord Jehovah, wherefore hast thou at all brought this people over the Jordan, to deliver us into the hand of the Amorites, to destroy us? Oh that we had been content and had remained beyond the Jordan! Josh. 7:7
When the Canaanites and all the inhabitants of the land shall hear of it, they will surround us, and cut off our name from the earth. And what wilt thou do unto thy great name? Josh. 7:9
Israel hath sinned, and they have also transgressed my covenant which I commanded them, and they have even taken of the accursed thing, and have also stolen, and dissembled also, and they have put it among their stuff. Josh. 7:11
And the children of Israel shall not be able to stand before their enemies: they shall turn their backs before their enemies, for they have made themselves accursed. I will no more be with you, except ye destroy the accursed thing from your midst. Josh. 7:12
Rise up, hallow the people, and say, Hallow yourselves for to-morrow; for thus saith Jehovah the God of Israel, There is an accursed thing in the midst of thee, Israel: thou shalt not be able to stand before thine enemies, until ye take away the accursed thing from your midst. Josh. 7:13
And ye shall be brought near in the morning according to your tribes; and it shall be, that the tribe which Jehovah taketh shall come forward by families, and the family which Jehovah taketh shall come forward by households; and the household which Jehovah taketh shall come forward man by man. Josh. 7:14
And it shall be, that he who is taken with the accursed thing shall be burned with fire, he and all that he hath, because he hath transgressed the covenant of Jehovah, and because he hath wrought wickedness in Israel. Josh. 7:15
And Joshua rose early in the morning, and caused Israel to come forward by their tribes, and the tribe of Judah was taken. Josh. 7:16
And he caused the families of Judah to come forward, and he took the family of the Zarhites. And he caused the family of the Zarhites to come forward man by man, and Zabdi was taken. Josh. 7:17
And he caused his household to come forward man by man, and Achan, the son of Carmi, the son of Zabdi, the son of Zerah, of the tribe of Judah, was taken. Josh. 7:18
And Joshua said to Achan, My son, give, I pray thee, glory to Jehovah the God of Israel, and make confession to him: tell me now what thou hast done, keep it not back from me. Josh. 7:19
And Achan answered Joshua and said, Indeed I have sinned against Jehovah the God of Israel, and thus and thus have I done. Josh. 7:20
I saw among the spoils a beautiful mantle of Shinar, and two hundred shekels of silver, and a golden bar of fifty shekels weight, and I coveted them and took them; and behold, they are hid in the earth in the midst of my tent, and the silver under it. Josh. 7:21
And Joshua sent messengers, and they ran to the tent, and behold, it was hid in his tent, and the silver under it. Josh. 7:22
And they took them out of the midst of the tent, and brought them to Joshua and to all the children of Israel, and laid them out before Jehovah. Josh. 7:23
Then Joshua, and all Israel with him, took Achan the son of Zerah, and the silver, and the mantle, and the bar of gold, and his sons, and his daughters, and his oxen, and his asses, and his sheep, and his tent, and all that he had; and they brought them up into the valley of Achor. Josh. 7:24
And they raised over him a great heap of stones, which is there to this day. And Jehovah turned from the fierceness of his anger. Therefore the name of that place was called, The Valley of Achor, to this day. Josh. 7:26
And Jehovah said to Joshua, Fear not, neither be dismayed. Take with thee all the people of war, and arise, go up to Ai. See, I have given into thy hand the king of Ai, and his people, and his city, and his land. Josh. 8:1
And thou shalt do to Ai and to its king as thou didst to Jericho and to its king; only, the spoil thereof and the cattle thereof shall ye take as prey for yourselves. Set an ambush against the city behind it. Josh. 8:2
And Joshua arose, and all the people of war, to go up to Ai. And Joshua chose thirty thousand valiant men, and sent them away by night. Josh. 8:3
And he commanded them, saying, See, ye shall be in ambush against the city, behind the city: go not very far from the city, and be all of you ready. Josh. 8:4
And I and all the people that are with me will approach to the city; and it shall come to pass when they come out against us, as at the first, that we will flee before them. Josh. 8:5
And they will come out after us till we have drawn them from the city; for they will say, They flee before us, as at the first; and we will flee before them. Josh. 8:6
And ye shall rise up from the ambush and take possession of the city; and Jehovah your God will deliver it into your hand. Josh. 8:7
And it shall be when ye have taken the city, that ye shall set the city on fire; according to the word of Jehovah shall ye do. See, I have commanded you. Josh. 8:8
And Joshua sent them forth; and they went to lie in ambush, and abode between Bethel and Ai, on the west of Ai. And Joshua lodged that night among the people. Josh. 8:9
And Joshua rose early in the morning, and inspected the people, and went up, he and the elders of Israel, before the people to Ai. Josh. 8:10
And all the people of war that were with him went up, and drew near, and came before the city; and they encamped on the north of Ai; and the valley was between them and Ai. Josh. 8:11
Now he had taken about five thousand men, and set them in ambush between Bethel and Ai, on the west of the city. Josh. 8:12
And when they had set the people, the whole camp on the north of the city, and their ambush on the west of the city, Joshua went that night into the midst of the valley. Josh. 8:13
And it came to pass when the king of Ai saw it, that the men of the city hasted and rose early, and went out against Israel to battle, he and all his people, at the appointed place before the plain. But he knew not that there was an ambush against him behind the city. Josh. 8:14
And Joshua and all Israel let themselves be beaten before them; and they fled by the way of the wilderness. Josh. 8:15
And all the people that were in the city were called together to pursue after them; and they pursued after Joshua, and were drawn away from the city. Josh. 8:16
And not a man remained in Ai and Bethel that went not out after Israel; and they left the city open, and pursued after Israel. Josh. 8:17
And Jehovah said to Joshua, Stretch out the javelin that is in thy hand toward Ai; for I will give it into thy hand. And Joshua stretched out the javelin that he had in his hand toward the city. Josh. 8:18
And the ambush arose quickly from their place, and they ran when he stretched out his hand, and came into the city, and took it, and hasted and set the city on fire. Josh. 8:19
And the men of Ai turned and saw, and behold, the smoke of the city went up to heaven, and they had no power to flee this way or that way; and the people that fled to the wilderness turned upon the pursuers. Josh. 8:20
When Joshua and all Israel saw that the ambush had taken the city, and that the smoke of the city went up, they turned again, and slew the men of Ai. Josh. 8:21
And the others went out of the city against them; so they were in the midst of Israel, some on this side, and some on that side; and they smote them, until they let none of them escape or flee away. Josh. 8:22
And the king of Ai they took alive, and brought him to Joshua. Josh. 8:23
And it came to pass when Israel had ended slaying all the inhabitants of Ai in the field, in the wilderness wherein they had chased them, and they had all fallen by the edge of the sword, until they were consumed, that all Israel returned to Ai, and smote it with the edge of the sword. Josh. 8:24
And so it was, that all who fell that day, men as well as women, were twelve thousand, all the people of Ai. Josh. 8:25
And Joshua did not draw back his hand, which he had stretched out with the javelin, until they had utterly destroyed all the inhabitants of Ai. Josh. 8:26
Only, the cattle and the spoil of the city Israel took as prey to themselves, according to the word of Jehovah which he had commanded Joshua. Josh. 8:27
And the king of Ai he hanged on a tree until the evening; and at the going down of the sun Joshua commanded, and they took his carcase down from the tree, and threw it down at the entrance of the gate of the city, and raised upon it a great heap of stones, which remains to this day. Josh. 8:29
Then Joshua built an altar to Jehovah the God of Israel, in mount Ebal, Josh. 8:30
as Moses the servant of Jehovah had commanded the children of Israel, as it is written in the book of the law of Moses, an altar of whole stones, over which iron had not been lifted up. And they offered up burnt-offerings on it to Jehovah, and sacrificed peace-offerings. Josh. 8:31
And he wrote there on the stones a copy of the law of Moses, which he had written before the children of Israel. Josh. 8:32
And all Israel, and their elders, and their officers and judges, stood on this side and on that side of the ark before the priests the Levites, who bore the ark of the covenant of Jehovah, as well the stranger as the home-born Israelite; half of them toward mount Gerizim, and the other half of them toward mount Ebal; as Moses the servant of Jehovah had commanded, that they should bless the people of Israel, in the beginning. Josh. 8:33
And afterwards he read all the words of the law, the blessing and the curse, according to all that is written in the book of the law. Josh. 8:34
There was not a word of all that Moses had commanded which Joshua read not before the whole congregation of Israel, and the women, and the children, and the strangers that lived among them. Josh. 8:35
And it came to pass when all the kings who were on this side the Jordan, in the hill-country, and in the lowland, and along all the coast of the great sea as far as opposite to Lebanon, the Hittite, and the Amorite, the Canaanite, the Perizzite, the Hivite, and the Jebusite, heard of it, Josh. 9:1
And when the inhabitants of Gibeon heard what Joshua had done to Jericho and to Ai, Josh. 9:3
and old and patched sandals upon their feet, and old garments upon them; and all the bread of their provision was dry and mouldy. Josh. 9:5
And they went to Joshua unto the camp at Gilgal, and said to him, and to the men of Israel, From a far country are we come; and now make a covenant with us. Josh. 9:6
And the men of Israel said to the Hivite, Perhaps thou dwellest in the midst of us, and how should I make a covenant with thee? Josh. 9:7
And they said to him, From a very far country are thy servants come, because of the name of Jehovah thy God; for we have heard the fame of him, and all that he did in Egypt, Josh. 9:9
and all that he did to the two kings of the Amorites that were beyond Jordan, to Sihon the king of Heshbon, and to Og the king of Bashan, who was at Ashtaroth. Josh. 9:10
And our elders and all the inhabitants of our country spoke to us, saying, Take victuals in your hand for the way, and go to meet them, and say to them, We are your servants, and now make a covenant with us. Josh. 9:11
This our bread we took warm for our provision out of our houses on the day we came forth to go unto you; and now, behold, it is dry, and is become mouldy. Josh. 9:12
And these flasks of wine which we filled new, behold, they are rent; and these our garments and our sandals are become old by reason of the very long journey. Josh. 9:13
And the men took of their victuals, but they did not inquire at the mouth of Jehovah. Josh. 9:14
And Joshua made peace with them, and made a covenant with them, to let them live; and the princes of the assembly swore unto them. Josh. 9:15
And it came to pass at the end of three days after they had made a covenant with them, that they heard that they were their neighbours, and that they dwelt in their midst. Josh. 9:16
And the children of Israel journeyed, and came to their cities on the third day; and their cities were Gibeon, and Chephirah, and Beeroth, and Kirjath-jearim. Josh. 9:17
And the children of Israel did not smite them, because the princes of the assembly had sworn unto them by Jehovah the God of Israel. Then all the assembly murmured against the princes. Josh. 9:18
And all the princes said to all the assembly, We have sworn unto them by Jehovah the God of Israel, and now we may not touch them. Josh. 9:19
This we will do to them, and let them live, lest wrath come upon us, because of the oath which we swore unto them. Josh. 9:20
And the princes said to them, Let them live. And they were hewers of wood and drawers of water for all the assembly; as the princes had said to them. Josh. 9:21
And now ye are cursed, and ye shall never cease to be bondmen, and hewers of wood, and drawers of water for the house of my God. Josh. 9:23
And they answered Joshua and said, Because it was certainly told thy servants how that Jehovah thy God commanded his servant Moses to give you all the land, and to destroy all the inhabitants of the land from before you; and we feared greatly for our lives because of you, and did this thing. Josh. 9:24
And he did so to them, and delivered them out of the hand of the children of Israel, and they did not slay them. Josh. 9:26
And Joshua made them that day hewers of wood and drawers of water for the assembly, and for the altar of Jehovah, to this day, in the place which he should choose. Josh. 9:27
And it came to pass when Adoni-zedek king of Jerusalem heard that Joshua had taken Ai and had utterly destroyed it, that he had done to Ai and its king as he had done to Jericho and its king, and that the inhabitants of Gibeon had made peace with Israel, and were among them, Josh. 10:1
that they feared greatly; for Gibeon was a great city, as one of the royal cities, and it was greater than Ai, and all its men were mighty. Josh. 10:2
Come up to me, and help me, that we may smite Gibeon; for it has made peace with Joshua and with the children of Israel. Josh. 10:4
And the five kings of the Amorites, the king of Jerusalem, the king of Hebron, the king of Jarmuth, the king of Lachish, and the king of Eglon, gathered themselves together, and went up, they and all their armies, and they encamped before Gibeon, and made war against it. Josh. 10:5
And the men of Gibeon sent to Joshua, to the camp at Gilgal, saying, Withdraw not thy hand from thy servants: come up to us quickly, and save us and help us; for all the kings of the Amorites that dwell in the hill-country are gathered against us. Josh. 10:6
So Joshua went up from Gilgal, he and all the people of war with him, even all the valiant men. Josh. 10:7
And Jehovah discomfited them before Israel, and smote them with a great slaughter at Gibeon; and he chased them on the way of the ascent of Beth-horon, and smote them up to Azekah and Makkedah. Josh. 10:10
And it came to pass, as they fled from before Israel, -- they were at the descent of Beth-horon, -- that Jehovah cast down great stones from heaven upon them up to Azekah, and they died. They were more who died with the hailstones than they whom the children of Israel had slain with the sword. Josh. 10:11
Then spoke Joshua to Jehovah in the day when Jehovah gave up the Amorites before the children of Israel, and he said in the sight of Israel, Sun, stand still upon Gibeon; And thou, moon, in the valley of Ajalon! Josh. 10:12
And the sun stood still, and the moon remained where it was, until the nation had avenged themselves upon their enemies. Is not this written in the book of Jasher? And the sun remained standing in the midst of heaven, and hasted not to go down about a full day. Josh. 10:13
And there was no day like that before it or after it, that Jehovah hearkened to the voice of a man; for Jehovah fought for Israel. Josh. 10:14
And Joshua returned, and all Israel with him, to the camp, to Gilgal. Josh. 10:15
And these five kings fled, and hid themselves in the cave at Makkedah. Josh. 10:16
And it was told Joshua, saying, The five kings have been found, hid in the cave at Makkedah. Josh. 10:17
And Joshua said, Roll great stones before the mouth of the cave, and set men before it to keep them. Josh. 10:18
And ye, stay not, pursue after your enemies, and smite the hindmost of them; suffer them not to enter into their cities; for Jehovah your God has given them into your hand. Josh. 10:19
And it came to pass when Joshua and the children of Israel had ended smiting them with a very great slaughter, until they were consumed, that the remnant which remained of them entered into fortified cities; Josh. 10:20
and all the people returned to the camp to Joshua, at Makkedah, in peace; none moved his tongue against the children of Israel. Josh. 10:21
And Joshua said, Open the mouth of the cave, and bring forth to me those five kings out of the cave. Josh. 10:22
And they did so, and brought forth to him those five kings out of the cave, the king of Jerusalem, the king of Hebron, the king of Jarmuth, the king of Lachish, the king of Eglon. Josh. 10:23
And it came to pass when they had brought forth those kings to Joshua, that Joshua called to all the men of Israel, and said to the captains of the men of war who went with him, Come forward, put your feet on the necks of these kings. And they came forward and put their feet on their necks. Josh. 10:24
And afterwards Joshua smote them, and put them to death, and hanged them on five trees; and they were hanging upon the trees until the evening. Josh. 10:26
And it came to pass at the time of the going down of the sun, that Joshua commanded, and they took them down off the trees, and cast them into the cave where they had been hid, and laid great stones before the cave's mouth, which remain to this very day. Josh. 10:27
And Joshua took Makkedah on that day, and smote it with the edge of the sword, and the king thereof, him and all the souls that were therein he utterly destroyed; he let none remain; and he did to the king of Makkedah as he had done to the king of Jericho. Josh. 10:28
And Jehovah gave it also and the king thereof into the hand of Israel; and he smote it with the edge of the sword, and all the souls that were therein; he let none remain in it: and he did to the king thereof as he had done to the king of Jericho. Josh. 10:30
And Jehovah gave Lachish into the hand of Israel; and they took it on the second day, and smote it with the edge of the sword, and all the souls that were therein, according to all that he had done to Libnah. Josh. 10:32
And they took it on that day, and smote it with the edge of the sword; and all the souls that were therein he utterly destroyed on that day, according to all that he had done to Lachish. Josh. 10:35
And they took it, and smote it with the edge of the sword, and the king thereof, and all the cities thereof, and all the souls that were therein: he let none remain, according to all that he had done to Eglon; and he utterly destroyed it, and all the souls that were therein. Josh. 10:37
And he took it, and the king thereof, and all the cities thereof, and they smote them with the edge of the sword, and utterly destroyed all the souls that were therein; he let none remain: as he had done to Hebron, and as he had done to Libnah, and to the king thereof, so he did to Debir and to the king thereof. Josh. 10:39
And Joshua smote the whole country, the mountain, and the south, and the lowland, and the hill-slopes, and all their kings: he let none remain, but he utterly destroyed all that breathed, as Jehovah the God of Israel had commanded. Josh. 10:40
And Joshua smote them from Kadesh-barnea even to Gazah, and all the country of Goshen, even to Gibeon; Josh. 10:41
and all these kings and their land did Joshua take at one time; for Jehovah the God of Israel fought for Israel. Josh. 10:42
And Joshua returned, and all Israel with him, to the camp, to Gilgal. Josh. 10:43
And it came to pass when Jabin king of Hazor heard this, that he sent to Jobab king of Madon, and to the king of Shimron, and to the king of Achshaph, Josh. 11:1
and to the kings that were northward in the mountains, and in the plain south of Chinneroth, and in the lowland, and on the upland of Dor on the west, Josh. 11:2
to the Canaanite on the east and on the west, and to the Amorite, and the Hittite, and the Perizzite, and the Jebusite in the mountains, and to the Hivite at the foot of Hermon in the land of Mizpah. Josh. 11:3
And they went out, they and all their armies with them, a people numerous as the sand that is on the seashore in multitude, with horses and chariots very many. Josh. 11:4
And all these kings met together, and came and encamped together at the waters of Merom, to fight against Israel. Josh. 11:5
And Joshua, and all the people of war with him, came upon them by the waters of Merom suddenly, and fell upon them. Josh. 11:7
And Jehovah delivered them into the hand of Israel, and they smote them, and chased them unto great Zidon, and to Misrephoth-maim, and to the valley of Mizpah eastward, and smote them until none were left remaining to them. Josh. 11:8
And Joshua turned back at that time, and took Hazor, and smote the king thereof with the sword; for Hazor was in times past the head of all those kingdoms. Josh. 11:10
And they smote all the souls that were therein with the edge of the sword, destroying them utterly: there was not any left to breathe; and he burned Hazor with fire. Josh. 11:11
And all the cities of those kings and all their kings did Joshua take; and he smote them with the edge of the sword, destroying them utterly, as Moses the servant of Jehovah had commanded. Josh. 11:12
Only, all the cities that stood still upon their hills Israel did not burn, save Hazor alone, which Joshua burned. Josh. 11:13
And all the spoil of these cities and the cattle the children of Israel took as prey to themselves; only, they smote all the men with the edge of the sword, until they had destroyed them: they left none that breathed. Josh. 11:14
And Joshua took all that land, the mountain and all the south, and all the land of Goshen, and the lowland, and the plain, and the mountain of Israel, and its lowland; Josh. 11:16
from the smooth mountain, which rises toward Seir, as far as Baal-Gad in the valley of Lebanon, at the foot of mount Hermon; and he took all their kings, and smote them, and put them to death. Josh. 11:17
There was not a city that made peace with the children of Israel, save the Hivites who dwelt at Gibeon; they took all in battle. Josh. 11:19
And Joshua came at that time and cut off the Anakim from the mountains, from Hebron, from Debir, from Anab, and from all the mountain of Judah, and from all the mountain of Israel: Joshua destroyed them utterly, with their cities. Josh. 11:21
There were none of the Anakim left in the land of the children of Israel; only at Gazah, at Gath, and at Ashdod there remained. Josh. 11:22
And Joshua took the whole land, according to all that Jehovah had said to Moses; and Joshua gave it for an inheritance to Israel according to their divisions, by their tribes. And the land rested from war. Josh. 11:23
And these are the kings of the land, whom the children of Israel smote, and of whose land they took possession across the Jordan, toward the sun-rising, from the river Arnon to mount Hermon, and all the plain on the east: Josh. 12:1
Sihon the king of the Amorites, who dwelt at Heshbon, and ruled from Aroer, which is upon the bank of the river Arnon, and from the middle of the ravine, and over half Gilead, as far as the river Jabbok, which is the border of the children of Ammon; Josh. 12:2
and the plain as far as the sea of Chinneroth on the east, and as far as the sea of the plain, the salt sea, on the east, toward Beth-jeshimoth; and on the south, under the slopes of Pisgah; Josh. 12:3
and the territory of Og the king of Bashan, of the residue of the giants, who dwelt at Ashtaroth and at Edrei, Josh. 12:4
and ruled over mount Hermon, and over Salcah, and over all Bashan, as far as the border of the Geshurites and the Maachathites, and over half Gilead as far as the border of Sihon the king of Heshbon. Josh. 12:5
Moses the servant of Jehovah and the children of Israel smote them, and Moses the servant of Jehovah gave it for a possession to the Reubenites, and to the Gadites, and to half the tribe of Manasseh. Josh. 12:6
And these are the kings of the land whom Joshua and the children of Israel smote on this side the Jordan on the west, from Baal-Gad in the valley of Lebanon as far as the smooth mountain, which rises toward Seir. And Joshua gave it to the tribes of Israel for a possession according to their divisions, Josh. 12:7
in the mountain, and in the lowland, and in the plain, and on the hill-slopes, and in the wilderness, and in the south: the Hittites, and the Amorites, and the Canaanites, the Perizzites, the Hivites and the Jebusites: Josh. 12:8
The king of Jericho, one; the king of Ai, which is beside Bethel, one; Josh. 12:9
the king of Jerusalem, one; the king of Hebron, one; Josh. 12:10
the king of Jarmuth, one; the king of Lachish, one; Josh. 12:11
the king of Eglon, one; the king of Gezer, one; Josh. 12:12
the king of Debir, one; the king of Geder, one; Josh. 12:13
the king of Hormah, one; the king of Arad, one; Josh. 12:14
the king of Libnah, one; the king of Adullam, one; Josh. 12:15

the king of Tappuah, one; the king of Hepher, one; Josh. 12:17
the king of Aphek, one; the king of Lasharon, one; Josh. 12:18
the king of Madon, one; the king of Hazor, one; Josh. 12:19
the king of Shimron-meron, one; the king of Achshaph, one; Josh. 12:20

the king of Tirzah, one: all the kings thirty and one. Josh. 12:24
This is the land that yet remaineth: all the districts of the Philistines and all the Geshurites, Josh. 13:2
from the Shihor, which floweth before Egypt, as far as the borders of Ekron northward, and which is counted to the Canaanite; five lordships of the Philistines: of Gazah, and of Ashdod, of Eshkalon, of Gath, and of Ekron; also the Avvites; Josh. 13:3
in the south, the whole land of the Canaanites, and Mearah which belongeth to the Sidonians, unto Aphek, to the border of the Amorites; Josh. 13:4
and the land of the Giblites, and all Lebanon, toward the sun-rising, from Baal-Gad at the foot of mount Hermon to the entrance into Hamath; Josh. 13:5
all the inhabitants of the hill-country from Lebanon to Misrephoth-maim, all the Sidonians; I will dispossess them from before the children of Israel. Only, partition it by lot to Israel for an inheritance, as I have commanded thee. Josh. 13:6
And now divide this land for an inheritance to the nine tribes, and to half the tribe of Manasseh; Josh. 13:7
with him the Reubenites and the Gadites have received their inheritance, which Moses gave them, beyond the Jordan eastward, as Moses the servant of Jehovah gave them: Josh. 13:8
from Aroer, which is on the bank of the river Arnon, and the city that is in the midst of the ravine, and all the plateau of Medeba to Dibon, Josh. 13:9
and all the cities of Sihon the king of the Amorites, who reigned at Heshbon, to the border of the children of Ammon; Josh. 13:10
and Gilead, and the border of the Geshurites and Maachathites, and all mount Hermon, and the whole of Bashan to Salcah; Josh. 13:11
all the kingdom of Og in Bashan, who reigned at Ashtaroth and at Edrei, who remained of the residue of the giants; and Moses smote them and dispossessed them. Josh. 13:12
But the children of Israel did not dispossess the Geshurites nor the Maachathites; but the Geshurites and the Maachathites dwell among the Israelites to this day. Josh. 13:13
Only to the tribe of Levi he gave no inheritance: the offerings by fire of Jehovah the God of Israel are their inheritance, as he said to them. Josh. 13:14
And Moses gave a portion to the tribe of the children of Reuben according to their families. Josh. 13:15
And their territory was from Aroer, which is on the bank of the river Arnon, and the city that is in the midst of the ravine, and all the plateau by Medeba; Josh. 13:16
Heshbon, and all her cities that are in the plateau, Dibon, and Bamoth-Baal, and Beth-Baal-meon, Josh. 13:17
and Kirjathaim, and Sibmah, and Zereth-shahar in the mountain of the vale, Josh. 13:19
and Beth-Peor, and the slopes of Pisgah, and Beth-jeshimoth; Josh. 13:20
all the cities of the plateau, and the whole kingdom of Sihon the king of the Amorites, who reigned at Heshbon, whom Moses smote, him and the princes of Midian, Evi, and Rekem, and Zur, and Hur, and Reba, the chiefs of Sihon dwelling in the land. Josh. 13:21
And Balaam the son of Beor, the diviner, did the children of Israel kill with the sword among them that were slain by them. Josh. 13:22
And the border of the children of Reuben was the Jordan, and its border. This is the inheritance of the children of Reuben according to their families, the cities and their hamlets. Josh. 13:23
And Moses gave a portion to the tribe of Gad, to the children of Gad according to their families. Josh. 13:24
And their territory was Jaazer, and all the cities of Gilead, and half the land of the children of Ammon, to Aroer which is before Rabbah; Josh. 13:25
and from Heshbon to Ramath-Mizpeh, and Betonim; and from Mahanaim to the border of Debir; Josh. 13:26
and in the valley, Beth-haram, and Beth-Nimrah, and Succoth, and Zaphon, the rest of the kingdom of Sihon the king of Heshbon, the Jordan and its border, as far as the edge of the sea of Chinnereth beyond the Jordan eastward. Josh. 13:27
This is the inheritance of the children of Gad according to their families, the cities and their hamlets. Josh. 13:28
And Moses gave a portion to half the tribe of Manasseh; and for half the tribe of the children of Manasseh according to their families: Josh. 13:29
their territory was from Mahanaim, all Bashan, the whole kingdom of Og the king of Bashan, and all the villages of Jair, which are in Bashan, sixty cities. Josh. 13:30
And half Gilead, and Ashtaroth, and Edrei, the cities of the kingdom of Og in Bashan, belonged to the children of Machir the son of Manasseh, to the one half of the children of Machir according to their families. Josh. 13:31
This is that which Moses allotted for inheritance in the plains of Moab, beyond the Jordan of Jericho, eastward. Josh. 13:32
But to the tribe of Levi Moses gave no inheritance: Jehovah the God of Israel is their inheritance, as he said to them. Josh. 13:33
And this is what the children of Israel inherited in the land of Canaan, which Eleazar the priest, and Joshua the son of Nun, and the chief fathers of the tribes of the children of Israel, allotted for inheritance to them: Josh. 14:1
their inheritance was by lot, as Jehovah had commanded by Moses, for the nine tribes, and the half tribe. Josh. 14:2
For Moses had given the inheritance of the two tribes and the half tribe beyond the Jordan, but to the Levites he had given no inheritance among them. Josh. 14:3
For the children of Joseph were two tribes, Manasseh and Ephraim; and they gave no part to the Levites in the land, save cities to dwell in, and their suburbs for their cattle and for their substance. Josh. 14:4
As Jehovah had commanded Moses, so the children of Israel did, and they divided the land. Josh. 14:5
Then the children of Judah came near to Joshua in Gilgal, and Caleb the son of Jephunneh the Kenizzite said to him, Thou knowest the word that Jehovah spoke to Moses the man of God, concerning me and thee, in Kadesh-barnea. Josh. 14:6
Forty years old was I when Moses the servant of Jehovah sent me from Kadesh-barnea to search out the land; and I brought him word again as it was in my heart. Josh. 14:7
And my brethren that had gone up with me made the heart of the people melt; but I wholly followed Jehovah my God. Josh. 14:8
And Moses swore on that day, saying, The land whereon thy feet have trodden shall assuredly be thine inheritance, and thy children's for ever! for thou hast wholly followed Jehovah my God. Josh. 14:9
And now behold, Jehovah has kept me alive, as he said, these forty-five years, since Jehovah spoke this word to Moses, when Israel wandered in the wilderness; and now behold, I am this day eighty-five years old. Josh. 14:10
I am still this day strong, as in the day that Moses sent me: as my strength was then, even so is my strength now, for war, both to go out and to come in. Josh. 14:11
And Joshua blessed him, and gave Hebron to Caleb the son of Jephunneh for an inheritance. Josh. 14:13
Hebron therefore became the inheritance of Caleb the son of Jephunneh the Kenizzite to this day, because he wholly followed Jehovah the God of Israel. Josh. 14:14
Now the name of Hebron before was Kirjath-Arba; the great man among the Anakim. And the land rested from war. Josh. 14:15
And the lot of the tribe of the children of Judah according to their families was: to the border of Edom, the wilderness of Zin, southward, in the extreme south. Josh. 15:1
And their southern border was from the end of the salt sea, from the tongue that turns southward; Josh. 15:2
and it went out south of the ascent of Akrabbim, and passed on to Zin, and went up on the south of Kadesh-barnea, and passed to Hezron, and went up toward Addar, and turned toward Karkaah, Josh. 15:3
and passed on to Azmon, and went out by the torrent of Egypt; and the border ended at the sea. That shall be your border southward. Josh. 15:4
-- And the eastern border was the salt sea as far as the end of the Jordan. -- And the border on the north side was from the tongue of the salt sea, at the end of the Jordan; Josh. 15:5
and the border went up toward Beth-hoglah, and passed north of Beth-Arabah; and the border went up to the stone of Bohan, the son of Reuben; Josh. 15:6
and the border went up toward Debir from the valley of Achor, and turned northward to Gilgal, which is opposite to the ascent of Adummim, which is on the south side of the torrent; and the border passed to the waters of En-shemesh, and ended at En-rogel; Josh. 15:7
and the border went up to the valley of the son of Hinnom, toward the south side of the Jebusite, that is, Jerusalem; and the border went up to the top of the mountain that is before the valley of Hinnom westward, which is at the end of the valley of Rephaim northward; Josh. 15:8
and the border reached along from the top of the mountain toward the spring of the waters of Nephtoah, and went out toward the cities of mount Ephron; and the border reached along to Baalah, that is, Kirjath-jearim; Josh. 15:9
and the border turned from Baalah westwards toward mount Seir, and passed toward the side of Har-jearim, that is, Chesalon, northwards, and went down to Beth-shemesh, and passed Timnah. Josh. 15:10
And the border went out to the side of Ekron northwards, and the border reached along toward Shicron, and passed mount Baalah, and went toward Jabneel; and the border ended at the sea. Josh. 15:11
-- And the west border is the great sea and its coast. This is the border of the children of Judah round about, according to their families. Josh. 15:12
And to Caleb the son of Jephunneh he gave a portion among the children of Judah according to the commandment of Jehovah to Joshua, the city of Arba, the father of Anak, that is, Hebron. Josh. 15:13
And thence Caleb dispossessed the three sons of Anak, Sheshai and Ahiman and Talmai, who were born of Anak. Josh. 15:14
And from there he went up against the inhabitants of Debir; now the name of Debir before was Kirjath-sepher. Josh. 15:15
And Othniel the son of Kenaz, the brother of Caleb, took it; and he gave him Achsah his daughter as wife. Josh. 15:17
And it came to pass as she came, that she urged him to ask of her father a field; and she sprang down from the ass. And Caleb said to her, What wouldest thou? Josh. 15:18
And she said, Give me a blessing; for thou hast given me a southern land; give me also springs of water. Then he gave her the upper springs and the lower springs. Josh. 15:19
This is the inheritance of the tribe of the children of Judah according to their families. Josh. 15:20
The cities at the extremity of the tribe of the children of Judah, toward the border of Edom in the south, were: Kabzeel, and Eder, and Jagur, Josh. 15:21
and Lebaoth, and Shilhim, and Ain, and Rimmon: all the cities twenty-nine, and their hamlets. Josh. 15:32
-- In the lowland: Eshtaol, and Zoreah, and Ashnah, Josh. 15:33
From Ekron and westward all that are by the side of Ashdod, and their hamlets. Josh. 15:46
Ashdod, its dependent villages and its hamlets; Gazah, its dependent villages and its hamlets, as far as the torrent of Egypt, and the great sea and its coast. Josh. 15:47
-- And in the hill-country: Shamir, and Jattir, and Sochoh, Josh. 15:48
-- In the wilderness: Beth-Arabah, Middin, and Secacah, Josh. 15:61
But as for the Jebusites, the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the children of Judah could not dispossess them; and the Jebusites dwell with the children of Judah at Jerusalem to this day. Josh. 15:63
And the lot came forth for the children of Joseph from the Jordan of Jericho as far as the waters of Jericho eastwards, to the wilderness which goes up from Jericho to the hill-country of Bethel. Josh. 16:1
And the border went from Bethel to Luz, and passed to the border of the Archites to Ataroth, Josh. 16:2
and went down westward to the border of the Japhletites, as far as the border of the lower Beth-horon, and to Gezer; and ended at the sea. Josh. 16:3
And the children of Joseph, Manasseh and Ephraim, took their inheritance. Josh. 16:4
And the border of the children of Ephraim was according to their families; the border of their inheritance eastwards was Ataroth-Addar as far as the upper Beth-horon; Josh. 16:5
and the border went forth westwards to Micmethath on the north; and the border turned eastwards to Taanath-Shiloh, and passed by it eastwards to Janohah, Josh. 16:6
and went down from Janohah to Ataroth and Naarath, and touched upon Jericho, and went out to the Jordan. Josh. 16:7
From Tappuah the border went westwards to the torrent Kanah, and ended at the sea. This is the inheritance of the tribe of the children of Ephraim according to their families, Josh. 16:8
with the cities that were set apart for the children of Ephraim in the midst of the inheritance of the children of Manasseh, all the cities and their hamlets. Josh. 16:9
But they did not dispossess the Canaanites that dwelt at Gezer; and the Canaanites dwell in the midst of Ephraim to this day, and serve under tribute. Josh. 16:10
And the lot came to the tribe of Manasseh (for he was the firstborn of Joseph), to Machir, the firstborn of Manasseh, the father of Gilead, for he was a man of war, and he had Gilead and Bashan. Josh. 17:1
There was also a portion for the rest of the children of Manasseh according to their families: for the children of Abiezer, and for the children of Helek, and for the children of Asriel, and for the children of Shechem, and for the children of Hepher, and for the children of Shemida: these are the children of Manasseh, the son of Joseph, the males, according to their families. Josh. 17:2
And Zelophehad, the son of Hepher, the son of Gilead, the son of Machir, the son of Manasseh, had no sons, but daughters; and these are the names of his daughters: Mahlah, and Noah, Hoglah, Milcah, and Tirzah. Josh. 17:3
And they came near before Eleazar the priest, and before Joshua the son of Nun, and before the princes, saying, Jehovah commanded Moses to give us an inheritance among our brethren. And he gave them according to the commandment of Jehovah an inheritance among the brethren of their father. Josh. 17:4
And there fell ten portions to Manasseh, besides the land of Gilead and Bashan, which are beyond the Jordan. Josh. 17:5
For the daughters of Manasseh received an inheritance among his sons; and the rest of Manasseh's sons had the land of Gilead. Josh. 17:6
And the territory of Manasseh was from Asher to Micmethath, which is before Shechem, and the border went on the right hand toward the inhabitants of En-Tappuah. Josh. 17:7
Manasseh had the land of Tappuah; but Tappuah on the border of Manasseh belonged to the children of Ephraim. Josh. 17:8
And the border descended to the torrent Kanah, south of the torrent. These cities were Ephraim's among the cities of Manasseh. And the territory of Manasseh was on the north side of the torrent, and ended at the sea. Josh. 17:9
Southward it was Ephraim's, and northward it was Manasseh's, and the sea was his border. And they touched upon Asher on the north, and upon Issachar on the east. Josh. 17:10
And Manasseh had in Issachar and in Asher, Beth-shean and its dependent villages, and Ibleam and its dependent villages, and the inhabitants of Dor and its dependent villages, and the inhabitants of En-Dor and its dependent villages, and the inhabitants of Taanach and its dependent villages, and the inhabitants of Megiddo and its dependent villages, the three hilly regions. Josh. 17:11
But the children of Manasseh could not dispossess the inhabitants of those cities; and the Canaanites would dwell in that land. Josh. 17:12
And it came to pass when the children of Israel were become strong, that they made the Canaanites tributary; but they did not utterly dispossess them. Josh. 17:13
And the children of Joseph spoke to Joshua, saying, Why hast thou given me as inheritance one lot and one portion, seeing I am a great people, forasmuch as Jehovah has blessed me hitherto? Josh. 17:14

And the children of Joseph said, The hill-country will not be enough for us; and all the Canaanites that dwell in the land of the valley have chariots of iron, those that are of Beth-shean and its dependent villages, and those that are in the valley of Jizreel. Josh. 17:16
And Joshua spoke to the house of Joseph, to Ephraim and to Manasseh, saying, Thou art a great people, and hast great power: thou shalt not have one lot only, Josh. 17:17

Provide you three men for a tribe; that I may send them, and they shall rise and go through the land, and describe it according to the proportion of their inheritance, and they shall come to me. Josh. 18:4
And they shall divide it into seven portions. Judah shall remain in their border on the south, and the house of Joseph shall remain in their border on the north; Josh. 18:5
and *ye* shall describe the land into seven portions, and bring the description hither to me, and I will cast lots for you here before Jehovah our God. Josh. 18:6

And he shall flee unto one of those cities and stand at the entrance of the city-gate, and shall declare his matter in the ears of the elders of that city; and they shall take him into the city unto them, and give him a place, that he may dwell among them. Josh. 20:4

And he shall dwell in that city, until he have stood before the assembly in judgment, until the death of the high-priest that shall be in those days; then shall the slayer return, and come unto his own city, and unto his own house, unto the city from whence he fled. Josh. 20:6

And they came to the children of Reuben, and to the children of Gad, and to the half tribe of Manasseh, to the land of Gilead, and spoke with them, saying, Josh. 22:15
Thus saith the whole assembly of Jehovah: What wickedness is this which ye have committed against the God of Israel, to turn away this day from following Jehovah, in that ye have built yourselves an altar, rebelling this day against Jehovah? Josh. 22:16
Is the iniquity of Peor too little for us? from which we are not cleansed until this day, although there was a plague in the assembly of Jehovah. Josh. 22:17
And ye turn away this day from following Jehovah; and it will be, that since ye rebel this day against Jehovah, to-morrow he will be wroth with the whole assembly of Israel. Josh. 22:18
Notwithstanding, if the land of your possession is unclean, come over into the land of the possession of Jehovah, where Jehovah's tabernacle dwelleth, and take possession amongst us; but rebel not against Jehovah, and rebel not against us, in building for yourselves an altar besides the altar of Jehovah our God.

The *God of gods, Jehovah, the *God of gods, Jehovah, he knoweth, and Israel he shall know it; if it is in rebellion, or if in trespass against Jehovah, -- save us not this day! Josh. 22:22

Far be it from us that we should rebel against Jehovah, and turn this day from following Jehovah, in building an altar for burnt-offering, for oblation, and for sacrifice, besides the altar of Jehovah our God that is before his tabernacle. Josh. 22:29
And when Phinehas the priest and the princes of the assembly and the heads of the thousands of Israel that were with him heard the words that the children of Reuben and the children of Gad and the children of Manasseh spoke, it was good in their sight. Josh. 22:30
And Phinehas the son of Eleazar the priest said unto the children of Reuben, and to the children of Gad, and to the children of Manasseh, This day we perceive that Jehovah is among us, because ye have not committed this trespass against Jehovah: now have ye delivered the children of Israel out of the hand of Jehovah.

that ye enter not among these nations, these that remain among you; and ye shall make no mention of the name of their gods, nor cause to swear by them, neither serve them, nor bow yourselves unto them; Josh. 23:7
For if ye in any wise go back, and cleave unto the residue of these nations, these that remain among you, and make marriages with them, and come in unto them and they unto you: Josh. 23:12
And behold, I am going this day the way of all the earth; and ye know in all your heart, and in all your soul, that not one thing hath failed of all the good words that Jehovah your God hath spoken concerning you: all are come to pass unto you -- not one thing hath failed thereof. Josh. 23:14
when ye transgress the covenant of Jehovah your God which he commanded you, and go and serve other gods, and bow yourselves unto them, so that the anger of Jehovah shall be kindled against you, and ye shall perish quickly from off the good land which he hath given unto you. Josh. 23:16
And Joshua gathered all the tribes of Israel to Shechem, and called for the elders of Israel, and for their heads, and for their judges, and for their officers; and they presented themselves before God. Josh. 24:1

And I took your father Abraham from the other side of the river, and led him throughout the land of Canaan, and multiplied his seed and gave him Isaac. Josh. 24:3
And I brought your fathers out of Egypt, and ye came unto the sea; and the Egyptians pursued after your fathers with chariots and horsemen unto the Red sea. Josh. 24:6

And I brought you into the land of the Amorites, who dwelt beyond the Jordan, and they fought with you, and I gave them into your hand, and ye took possession of their land, and I destroyed them from before you. Josh. 24:8
And Balak the son of Zippor, king of Moab, arose and warred against Israel, and sent and called Balaam the son of Beor to curse you; Josh. 24:9
And ye went over the Jordan, and came unto Jericho, and the men of Jericho fought against you, the Amorites, and the Perizzites, and the Canaanites, and the Hittites, and the Girgashites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites; and I delivered them into your hand. Josh. 24:11
And I sent the hornet before you, which drove them out from before you, as the two kings of the Amorites; not with thy sword, nor with thy bow. Josh. 24:12
And now fear Jehovah and serve him in perfectness and in truth; and put away the gods which your fathers served on the other side of the river, and in Egypt; and serve Jehovah. Josh. 24:14
And if it seem evil unto you to serve Jehovah, choose you this day whom ye will serve; whether the gods whom your fathers that were on the other side of the river served, or the gods of the Amorite, in whose land ye dwell; but as for me and my house, we will serve Jehovah. Josh. 24:15
And the people answered and said, Far be it from us that we should forsake Jehovah, to serve other gods; Josh. 24:16
for Jehovah our God, he it is that brought us up and our fathers out of the land of Egypt, from the house of bondage, and who did those great signs before our eyes, and preserved us in all the way wherein we went, and among all the peoples through whom we passed! Josh. 24:17
And Jehovah drove out from before us all the peoples, and the Amorites the inhabitants of the land: so therefore we will serve Jehovah, for he is our God. Josh. 24:18
And Joshua said to the people, Ye cannot serve Jehovah, for he is a holy God; he is a jealous *God; he will not forgive your transgressions nor your sins. Josh. 24:19
And the people said to Joshua, No; but we will serve Jehovah. Josh. 24:21
And Joshua said unto the people, Ye are witnesses against yourselves that ye have chosen you Jehovah, to serve him. And they said, We are witnesses. Josh. 24:22
Now therefore put away the strange gods that are among you, and incline your heart unto Jehovah the God of Israel. Josh. 24:23
And the people said unto Joshua, Jehovah our God will we serve, and to his voice will we hearken. Josh. 24:24
So Joshua made a covenant with the people that day, and set them a statute and an ordinance in Shechem. Josh. 24:25

And Judah went against the Canaanites that dwelt in Hebron -- the name of Hebron before was Kirjath-Arba; and they slew Sheshai and Ahiman and Talmai. Judg. 1:10
And from there he went against the inhabitants of Debir; now the name of Debir before was Kirjath-sepher. Judg. 1:11
And Othniel the son of Kenaz, Caleb's younger brother, took it; and he gave him Achsah his daughter as wife. Judg. 1:13
And it came to pass as she came, that she urged him to ask of her father the field; and she sprang down from the ass. And Caleb said to her, What wouldest thou? Judg. 1:14
And she said to him, Give me a blessing; for thou hast given me a southern land; give me also springs of water. And Caleb gave her the upper springs and the lower springs. Judg. 1:15
And the children of the Kenite, Moses' father-in-law, had gone up out of the city of palm-trees with the children of Judah into the wilderness of Judah, which is in the south of Arad; and they went and dwelt with the people. Judg. 1:16
And Judah went with Simeon his brother, and they slew the Canaanites that inhabited Zephath, and utterly destroyed it; and they called the name of the city Hormah. Judg. 1:17
And Jehovah was with Judah; and he took possession of the hill-country, for he did not dispossess the inhabitants of the valley, because they had chariots of iron. Judg. 1:19
And they gave to Caleb Hebron, as Moses had said; and he dispossessed from thence the three sons of Anak. Judg. 1:20
And the children of Benjamin did not dispossess the Jebusites, the inhabitants of Jerusalem; but the Jebusites dwell with the children of Benjamin in Jerusalem to this day. Judg. 1:21
And the house of Joseph, they also went up against Bethel; and Jehovah was with them. Judg. 1:22
And the house of Joseph sent to search out Bethel; now the name of the city before was Luz. Judg. 1:23
And the guards saw a man come forth out of the city, and said unto him, Shew us, we pray thee, how we may enter into the city, and we will shew thee kindness. Judg. 1:24
And he shewed them how to enter into the city. And they smote the city with the edge of the sword; but they let go the man and all his family. Judg. 1:25
And the man went into the land of the Hittites, and built a city, and called its name Luz, which is its name to this day. Judg. 1:26
And Manasseh did not dispossess Beth-shean and its dependent villages, nor Taanach and its dependent villages, nor the inhabitants of Dor and its dependent villages, nor the inhabitants of Ibleam and its dependent villages, nor the inhabitants of Megiddo and its dependent villages; and the Canaanites would dwell in that land. Judg. 1:27
And it came to pass when Israel became strong, that they made the Canaanites tributary; but they did not utterly dispossess them. Judg. 1:28
And Ephraim did not dispossess the Canaanites that dwelt in Gezer; but the Canaanites dwelt among them in Gezer. Judg. 1:29
Zebulun did not dispossess the inhabitants of Kitron, nor the inhabitants of Nahalol; but the Canaanites dwelt among them, and became tributaries. Judg. 1:30
Asher did not dispossess the inhabitants of Accho, nor the inhabitants of Zidon, nor Ahlab, nor Achzib, nor Helbah, nor Aphik, nor Rehob; Judg. 1:31
and the Asherites dwelt among the Canaanites, the inhabitants of the land; for they did not dispossess them. Judg. 1:32
Naphtali did not dispossess the inhabitants of Beth-shemesh, nor the inhabitants of Beth-anath; and he dwelt among the Canaanites, the inhabitants of the land, but the inhabitants of Beth-shemesh and of Beth-anath became tributaries to them. Judg. 1:33
And the Amorites forced the children of Dan into the hill-country, for they would not suffer them to come down to the valley. Judg. 1:34
And the Amorites would dwell on mount Heres, in Ajalon and in Shaalbim; but the hand of the house of Joseph prevailed, and they became tributaries. Judg. 1:35
And the border of the Amorites was from the ascent of Akrabbim, from the rock, and upwards. Judg. 1:36
And the Angel of Jehovah came up from Gilgal to Bochim, and said, I made you to go up out of Egypt, and have brought you to the land which I swore unto your fathers; and I said, I will never break my covenant with you; and as for you, Judg. 2:1
ye shall make no covenant with the inhabitants of this land; ye shall throw down their altars: but ye have not hearkened unto my voice. Why have ye done this? Judg. 2:2
And it came to pass, when the Angel of Jehovah spoke these words to all the children of Israel, that the people lifted up their voice and wept. Judg. 2:4
And they called the name of that place Bochim; and they sacrificed there to Jehovah. Judg. 2:5
And Joshua dismissed the people, and the children of Israel went every man to his inheritance to possess the land. Judg. 2:6
And the people served Jehovah all the days of Joshua, and all the days of the elders whose days were prolonged after Joshua, who had seen all the great works of Jehovah, which he had done for Israel. Judg. 2:7
And Joshua the son of Nun, the servant of Jehovah, died, a hundred and ten years old. Judg. 2:8
And they buried him in the border of his inheritance in Timnath-Heres, in mount Ephraim, on the north side of the mountain of Gaash. Judg. 2:9
And also all that generation were gathered to their fathers; and there arose another generation after them, which knew not Jehovah, nor yet the works which he had done for Israel. Judg. 2:10
And the children of Israel did evil in the sight of Jehovah, and served the Baals. Judg. 2:11
And they forsook Jehovah the God of their fathers, who had brought them up out of the land of Egypt, and followed other gods of the gods of the peoples that were round about them, and bowed themselves to them, and provoked Jehovah to anger. Judg. 2:12
And they forsook Jehovah, and served Baal and the Ashtoreths. Judg. 2:13
And the anger of Jehovah was hot against Israel, and he delivered them into the hands of spoilers that spoiled them, and he sold them into the hands of their enemies round about; and they could not any longer stand before their enemies. Judg. 2:14
Whithersoever they went out the hand of Jehovah was against them for evil, as Jehovah had said, and as Jehovah had sworn unto them; and they were greatly distressed. Judg. 2:15
And Jehovah raised up judges, and they saved them out of the hand of those that spoiled them. Judg. 2:16
But they did not even hearken to their judges, for they went a whoring after other gods, and bowed themselves to them; they turned quickly out of the way that their fathers had walked in, obeying the commandments of Jehovah; they did not so. Judg. 2:17
And when Jehovah raised them up judges, then Jehovah was with the judge, and saved them out of the hand of their enemies all the days of the judge; for it repented Jehovah because of their groanings by reason of them that oppressed them and crushed them. Judg. 2:18
And it came to pass when the judge died, that they turned back and corrupted themselves more than their fathers, in following other gods to serve them, and to bow down to them: they ceased not from their own doings, nor from their stubborn way. Judg. 2:19
And the anger of Jehovah was hot against Israel; and he said, Because this nation hath transgressed my covenant which I commanded their fathers, and hath not hearkened unto my voice, Judg. 2:20
I also will not henceforth dispossess from before them any of the nations that Joshua left when he died; Judg. 2:21
that through them I may prove Israel, whether they will keep the way of Jehovah to walk therein, as their fathers did keep it, or not. Judg. 2:22
Therefore Jehovah left those nations, without dispossessing them hastily, neither delivered he them into the hand of Joshua. Judg. 2:23
And these are the nations that Jehovah left, to prove Israel by them, all that had not known all the wars of Canaan; Judg. 3:1
only that the generations of the children of Israel might know war by learning it, at the least those who before had known nothing thereof: Judg. 3:2
five lord ships of the Philistines, and all the Canaanites, and the Sidonians, and the Hivites that dwell on mount Lebanon; from mount Baal-Hermon unto the entering into Hamath. Judg. 3:3
And they were to prove Israel by them, to know whether they would obey the commandments of Jehovah, which he commanded their fathers by the hand of Moses. Judg. 3:4
And the children of Israel dwelt among the Canaanites: Hittites and Amorites and Perizzites and Hivites and Jebusites; Judg. 3:5
And the children of Israel did evil in the sight of Jehovah, and forgot Jehovah their God, and served the Baals and the Asherahs. Judg. 3:7
And the anger of Jehovah was hot against Israel, and he sold them into the hand of Chushan-rishathaim king of Mesopotamia; and the children of Israel served Chushan-rishathaim eight years. Judg. 3:8
And the children of Israel cried to Jehovah; and Jehovah raised up a saviour to the children of Israel, who saved them, Othniel the son of Kenaz, Caleb's younger brother. Judg. 3:9
And the Spirit of Jehovah was upon him, and he judged Israel; and he went out to war, and Jehovah gave Chushan-rishathaim king of Syria into his hand; and his hand prevailed against Chushan-rishathaim. Judg. 3:10
And the land had rest forty years; and Othniel the son of Kenaz died. Judg. 3:11
And the children of Israel again did evil in the sight of Jehovah; and Jehovah strengthened Eglon the king of Moab against Israel, because they did evil in the sight of Jehovah. Judg. 3:12
And he gathered to him the children of Ammon and Amalek and went and smote Israel, and they took possession of the city of palm-trees. Judg. 3:13
And the children of Israel served Eglon the king of Moab eighteen years. Judg. 3:14
And the children of Israel cried to Jehovah, and Jehovah raised them up a saviour, Ehud the son of Gera, the Benjaminite, a man left-handed. And by him the children of Israel sent a gift to Eglon king of Moab. Judg. 3:15
And he brought the gift to Eglon king of Moab; now Eglon was a very fat man. Judg. 3:17
And it came to pass when he had ended offering the gift, he sent away the people that had borne the gift. Judg. 3:18
But he turned from the graven images that were by Gilgal, and said, I have a secret word unto thee, O king. And he said, Be silent! And all that stood by him went out from him. Judg. 3:19
And Ehud came to him; now he was sitting in the cool upper-chamber, which was for him alone. And Ehud said, I have a word from God unto thee. And he arose from the seat. Judg. 3:20
Then Ehud put forth his left hand, and took the sword from his right hip, and thrust it into his belly; Judg. 3:21
and the haft also went in after the blade, and the fat closed upon the blade; for he did not draw the sword out of his belly, and it came out between the legs. Judg. 3:22
And Ehud went out into the portico, and shut the doors of the upper-chamber upon him, and bolted them. Judg. 3:23
And when he was gone out, the servants of the king came and saw, and behold, the doors of the upper-chamber were bolted. And they said, Surely he is covering his feet in the summer chamber. Judg. 3:24
And they waited till they were ashamed; and behold, he opened not the doors of the upper-chamber, and they took the key, and opened them, and behold, their lord lay dead on the earth. Judg. 3:25
And Ehud had escaped while they lingered, and passed beyond the graven images, and escaped to Seirah. Judg. 3:26
And it came to pass when he was come, that he blew a trumpet in the hill-country of Ephraim, and the children of Israel went down with him from the hill-country, and he before them. Judg. 3:27
And he said to them, Follow after me, for Jehovah has delivered your enemies the Moabites into your hand. And they went down after him, and took the fords of the Jordan toward Moab, and suffered no one to pass over. Judg. 3:28
And they slew the Moabites at that time, about ten thousand men, all fat, and all men of valour, and not a man escaped. Judg. 3:29
And Moab was subdued that day under the hand of Israel. And the land had rest eighty years. Judg. 3:30
And after him was Shamgar the son of Anath; and he smote the Philistines, six hundred men, with an ox-goad. And he also delivered Israel. Judg. 3:31
And the children of Israel again did evil in the sight of Jehovah; now Ehud was dead. Judg. 4:1
And Jehovah sold them into the hand of Jabin king of Canaan, who reigned in Hazor; and the captain of his army was Sisera, who dwelt in Harosheth-Goim. Judg. 4:2
And the children of Israel cried to Jehovah; for he had nine hundred chariots of iron, and he mightily oppressed the children of Israel twenty years. Judg. 4:3
And Deborah, a prophetess, the wife of Lapidoth, judged Israel at that time. Judg. 4:4
And she dwelt under the palm-tree of Deborah between Ramah and Bethel in mount Ephraim; and the children of Israel came up to her for judgment. Judg. 4:5
And she sent and called Barak the son of Abinoam out of Kedesh-Naphtali, and said to him, Hath not Jehovah the God of Israel commanded? Go and draw towards mount Tabor, and take with thee ten thousand men of the children of Naphtali and of the children of Zebulun, Judg. 4:6
and I will draw unto thee, to the torrent Kishon, Sisera, the captain of Jabin's army, and his chariots and his multitude, and I will give him into thy hand. Judg. 4:7
And she said, I will by all means go with thee, only that it will not be to thine honour upon the way which thou goest, for Jehovah will sell Sisera into the hand of a woman. And Deborah arose, and went with Barak to Kedesh. Judg. 4:9
(Now Heber the Kenite had severed himself from the Kenites, from the children of Hobab the father-in-law of Moses, and had pitched his tent as far as the oak of Zaannaim, which is by Kedesh.) Judg. 4:11
And they told Sisera that Barak the son of Abinoam had gone up to mount Tabor. Judg. 4:12
Then Sisera gathered together all his chariots, nine hundred chariots of iron, and all the people that were with him, from Harosheth-Goim to the torrent Kishon. Judg. 4:13
And Deborah said to Barak, Up; for this is the day in which Jehovah hath given Sisera into thy hand! Is not Jehovah gone out before thee? And Barak went down from mount Tabor, and ten thousand men after him. Judg. 4:14
And Jehovah discomfited Sisera, and all the chariots, and all the army, with the edge of the sword before Barak; and Sisera got down from his chariot, and fled on foot. Judg. 4:15
And Barak pursued after the chariots, and after the army, to Harosheth-Goim; and all the army of Sisera fell by the edge of the sword; not one was left. Judg. 4:16
And Sisera fled on foot to the tent of Jael the wife of Heber the Kenite; for there was peace between Jabin the king of Hazor and the house of Heber the Kenite. Judg. 4:17
And Jael went out to meet Sisera, and said to him, Turn in, my lord, turn in to me; fear not. And he turned in to her, into the tent, and she covered him with the quilt. Judg. 4:18
And he said to her, Give me, I pray thee, a little water to drink, for I am thirsty. And she opened the flask of milk, and gave him drink, and covered him. Judg. 4:19
And he said to her, Stand in the door of the tent, and it shall be if any one come and inquire of thee, and say, Is there any man here? that thou shalt say, No. Judg. 4:20
And Jael Heber's wife took a tent-pin, and took the hammer in her hand, and went softly to him, and smote the pin into his temples, and it penetrated into the ground; for he had fallen into a deep sleep and was faint; and he died. Judg. 4:21
And behold, as Barak pursued Sisera, Jael went out to meet him, and said to him, Come, and I will shew thee the man whom thou seekest. And he went into her tent, and behold, Sisera lay dead, and the pin was in his temples. Judg. 4:22
So God subdued on that day Jabin king of Canaan before the children of Israel. Judg. 4:23
And the hand of the children of Israel ever advanced, and prevailed against Jabin king of Canaan, until they had cut off Jabin king of Canaan. Judg. 4:24
* Then sang Deborah and Barak, the son of Abinoam, on that day, saying, Judg. 5:1
For that leaders led in Israel, For that the people willingly offered themselves, Bless Jehovah! Judg. 5:2
Hear, ye kings; give ear, ye princes, I, even I, will sing to Jehovah; I will hymn to Jehovah the God of Israel. Judg. 5:3
Jehovah, when thou wentest forth from Seir, When thou marchedst out of the fields of Edom, The earth trembled, and the heavens dropped, Yea, the clouds dropped water. Judg. 5:4
The mountains quaked before the face of Jehovah, That Sinai, from before Jehovah the God of Israel. Judg. 5:5
In the days of Shamgar the son of Anath, in the days of Jael, The roads were unused, and the travellers on highways went by crooked paths. Judg. 5:6
The villages ceased in Israel, Ceased until that I Deborah arose, That I arose a mother in Israel. Judg. 5:7
They chose new gods; then was war in the gates: Was there a shield or spear seen among forty thousand in Israel? Judg. 5:8
My heart is toward the governors of Israel, who offered themselves willingly among the people. Bless Jehovah! Judg. 5:9
Ye that ride on white she-asses, ye that sit on carpets, and ye that walk by the way, consider. Judg. 5:10
Because of the voice of those who divide the spoil in the midst of the places of drawing water; There they rehearse the righteous acts of Jehovah, His righteous acts toward his villages in Israel. Then the people of Jehovah went down to the gates. Judg. 5:11
Then come down, thou, the remnant of nobles, as his people; Jehovah! come down with me in the midst of the mighty ones. Judg. 5:13
Out of Ephraim came those whose root was in Amalek; After thee was Benjamin among thy peoples. Out of Machir came down governors, And out of Zebulun they that handled the staff of the ruler. Judg. 5:14
And the princes in Issachar were with Deborah; And Issachar, like Barak; They were sent into the valley at his feet. In the divisions of Reuben there were great resolves of heart! Judg. 5:15
Why abodest thou among the sheepfolds, To hear the bleating of the flocks? In the divisions of Reuben there were great deliberations of heart! Judg. 5:16
Gilead abode beyond Jordan; And Dan, why did he remain in ships? Asher sat on the sea-shore, And abode in his creeks. Judg. 5:17
Zebulun is a people that jeoparded their lives unto death, Naphtali also, on the high places of the field. Judg. 5:18
Kings came, -- they fought; Then fought the kings of Canaan; At Taanach, by the waters of Megiddo; They took no spoil of silver. Judg. 5:19
From heaven was the fight; The stars from their courses fought with Sisera. Judg. 5:20
The torrent of Kishon swept them away, That ancient torrent, the torrent Kishon. My soul, thou hast trodden down strength! Judg. 5:21
Then did the horse-hoofs clatter with the coursings, The coursings of their steeds. Judg. 5:22
Curse Meroz, saith the Angel of Jehovah; Curse, curse the inhabitants thereof; For they came not to the help of Jehovah, To the help of Jehovah among the mighty. Judg. 5:23
Blessed above women shall Jael the wife of Heber the Kenite be, Blessed above women in the tent! Judg. 5:24
He asked water, she gave milk; In the nobles' bowl she brought forth cream. Judg. 5:25
She put her hand to the tent-pin, And her right hand to the workmen's hammer; And she smote Sisera, she struck through his head, Shattered and pierced through his temples. Judg. 5:26
Them other of Sisera looketh out at the window, And crieth through the lattice, Why is his chariot so long in coming? Why tarry the trampings of his chariots? Judg. 5:28
The wise amongst her ladies answer her, Yea, she returneth answer to herself, Judg. 5:29
Have they not found, divided the booty, A damsel, two damsels, to each? A booty of dyed stuffs for Sisera, A booty of dyed stuffs of embroidery, Dyed stuff of double embroidery for the neck of a spoiler? Judg. 5:30
So let all thine enemies perish, Jehovah! But let them that love him be as the rising of the sun in its might. And the land had rest forty years. Judg. 5:31
And the children of Israel did evil in the sight of Jehovah; and Jehovah delivered them into the hand of Midian seven years. Judg. 6:1
And the hand of Midian prevailed against Israel. Because of the Midianites the children of Israel made for themselves the dens that are in the mountains, and the caves, and the strongholds. Judg. 6:2
And it came to pass when Israel sowed, that Midian came up, and Amalek, and the children of the east, and came up against them. Judg. 6:3
And they encamped against them, and destroyed the produce of the land, until thou come to Gazah, and they left no sustenance in Israel, neither sheep, nor ox, nor ass. Judg. 6:4
For they came up with their cattle and their tents, and they came as locusts for multitude; both they and their camels were without number; and they entered into the land to destroy it. Judg. 6:5
And Israel was greatly impoverished because of Midian. And the children of Israel cried to Jehovah. Judg. 6:6
And it came to pass when the children of Israel cried to Jehovah because of Midian, Judg. 6:7
that Jehovah sent a prophet to the children of Israel, who said to them, Thus saith Jehovah the God of Israel: I brought you up from Egypt, and brought you forth out of the house of bondage; Judg. 6:8
and I delivered you out of the hand of the Egyptians, and out of the hand of all that oppressed you, and drove them out from before you, and gave you their land, Judg. 6:9
and I said to you, I am Jehovah your God; fear not the gods of the Amorites, in whose land ye dwell. But ye have not hearkened to my voice. Judg. 6:10
And an angel of Jehovah came and sat under the terebinth that was in Ophrah, that belonged to Joash the Abi-ezrite. And his son Gideon threshed wheat in the winepress, to secure it from the Midianites. Judg. 6:11
And the Angel of Jehovah appeared to him, and said to him, Jehovah is with thee, thou mighty man of valour. Judg. 6:12
And Gideon said to him, Ah my Lord, if Jehovah be with us, why then is all this befallen us? and where are all his miracles that our fathers told us of, saying, Did not Jehovah bring us up from Egypt? And now Jehovah hath cast us off, and given us into the hand of Midian. Judg. 6:13
And Jehovah looked upon him, and said, Go in this thy might, and thou shalt save Israel from the hand of Midian. Have not I sent thee? Judg. 6:14
And he said to him, Ah Lord, wherewith shall I save Israel? behold, my thousand is the poorest in Manasseh, and I am the least in my father's house. Judg. 6:15
And Gideon went in, and made ready a kid of the goats, and an ephah of flour in unleavened cakes: the flesh he put in a basket, and he put the broth in a pot, and brought it out to him under the terebinth, and presented it. Judg. 6:19
And the Angel of God said to him, Take the flesh and the unleavened cakes, and lay them upon this rock, and pour out the broth. And he did so. Judg. 6:20
And the Angel of Jehovah put forth the end of the staff that was in his hand, and touched the flesh and the unleavened cakes; and there rose up fire out of the rock, and consumed the flesh and the unleavened cakes. And the Angel of Jehovah departed out of his sight. Judg. 6:21
And Gideon built there an altar to Jehovah, and called it Jehovah-shalom. To this day it is yet in Ophrah of the Abi-ezrites. Judg. 6:24
And it came to pass the same night, that Jehovah said to him, Take the young bullock, which thy father hath, even the second bullock of seven years old, and throw down the altar of Baal that thy father hath, and cut down the Asherah that is by it; Judg. 6:25
and build an altar to Jehovah thy God upon the top of this strong place in the ordered manner, and take the second bullock, and offer up a burnt-offering with the wood of the Asherah that thou shalt cut down. Judg. 6:26
And Gideon took ten men of his servants, and did as Jehovah had said to him. And it came to pass, because he feared his father's house, and the men of the city, if he did it by day, that he did it by night. Judg. 6:27
And when the men of the city arose early in the morning, behold, the altar of Baal was broken down, and the Asherah was cut down that was by it, and the second bullock was offered up upon the altar that was built. Judg. 6:28
And they said one to another, Who has done this thing? And when they inquired and asked, they said, Gideon the son of Joash has done this thing. Judg. 6:29
And the men of the city said to Joash, Bring out thy son, that he may die, because he has broken down the altar of Baal, and because he has cut down the Asherah that was by it. Judg. 6:30
And all Midian and Amalek and the children of the east were gathered together, and went over, and encamped in the valley of Jezreel. Judg. 6:33
And the Spirit of Jehovah came upon Gideon, and he blew the trumpet, and the Abi-ezrites were gathered after him. Judg. 6:34
behold, I put a fleece of wool on the threshing-floor; if dew shall be on the fleece only, and it be dry upon all the ground, then shall I know that thou wilt save Israel by my hand, as thou hast said. Judg. 6:37
And it was so. And when he rose up early on the morrow, he pressed the fleece together, and wrung dew out of the fleece, a bowl-full of water. Judg. 6:38
And Gideon said to God, Let not thine anger be hot against me, and I will speak but this once! Let me prove, I pray thee, but this once with the fleece; let it, I pray thee, be dry upon the fleece only, and upon all the ground let there be dew. Judg. 6:39
And God did so that night, and it was dry upon the fleece only, but on all the ground there was dew. Judg. 6:40
And Jerubbaal, who is Gideon, arose early, and all the people that were with him, and they encamped beside the spring Harod; and he had the camp of Midian on the north by the hill of Moreh in the valley. Judg. 7:1
And Jehovah said to Gideon, The people that are with thee are too many for me to give Midian into their hand, lest Israel vaunt themselves against me, saying, Mine own hand hath saved me. Judg. 7:2
And now proclaim in the ears of the people, saying, Whoever is timid and afraid, let him go back and turn from mount Gilead. And there went back of the people twenty-two thousand; and there remained ten thousand. Judg. 7:3
And Jehovah said to Gideon, Still the people are many; bring them down to the water, and I will try them for thee there, and it shall be, that of whom I shall say unto thee, This shall go with thee, the same shall go with thee; and of whomsoever I shall say unto thee, This shall not go with thee, the same shall not go. Judg. 7:4
And he brought down the people to the water; and Jehovah said to Gideon, Every one that lappeth of the water with his tongue, as a dog lappeth, him shalt thou set by himself; likewise every one that boweth down on his knees to drink. Judg. 7:5
And the number of them that lapped, with their hand to their mouth, were three hundred men; and all the rest of the people bowed down on their knees to drink water. Judg. 7:6
And Jehovah said to Gideon, By the three hundred men that lapped will I save you, and give Midian into thy hand; and let all the people go every man to his place. Judg. 7:7
And they took the victuals of the people in their hand, and their trumpets; and all the men of Israel he sent away, every man to his tent, but retained the three hundred men. Now the camp of Midian was beneath him in the valley. Judg. 7:8
And it came to pass in that night, that Jehovah said to him, Arise, go down to the camp; for I have given it into thy hand. Judg. 7:9
And if thou fear to go down, go thou with Phurah thy servant down to the camp; Judg. 7:10
and thou shalt hear what they say; and afterwards shall thy hand be strengthened, and thou shalt go down unto the camp. And he went down with Phurah his servant to the outside of the armed men that were in the camp. Judg. 7:11
And Midian and Amalek and all the children of the east lay along in the valley as locusts for multitude; and their camels were without number, as the sand upon the sea-shore for multitude. Judg. 7:12
And Gideon came, and behold, a man was telling a dream to his fellow; and he said, Behold, I dreamed a dream, and lo, a cake of barley-bread tumbled into the camp of Midian, and came to the tent, and smote it that it fell, and overturned it; and the tent lay along. Judg. 7:13
And his fellow answered and said, This is nothing else save the sword of Gideon the son of Joash, the man of Israel: God hath given into his hand Midian and all the host. Judg. 7:14
And it came to pass when Gideon heard the telling of the dream and its interpretation, that he worshipped. And he returned into the camp of Israel, and said, Arise; for Jehovah hath given into your hand the camp of Midian. Judg. 7:15
And he divided the three hundred men into three companies, and he put a trumpet in every man's hand, and empty pitchers, and torches within the pitchers. Judg. 7:16
And he said to them, Look on me, and do likewise; behold, when I come to the extremity of the camp, it shall be that, as I do, so shall ye do. Judg. 7:17
And when I blow with a trumpet, I and all that are with me, ye also shall blow the trumpets around the whole camp, and shall say, For Jehovah and for Gideon! Judg. 7:18
And Gideon, and the hundred men that were with him, came to the outside of the camp in the beginning of the middle watch; and they had but newly set the watch; and they blew the trumpets, and broke the pitchers that were in their hands. Judg. 7:19
And the three companies blew the trumpets, and broke in pieces the pitchers, and held the torches in their left hand, and the trumpets in their right hand for blowing, and cried, The sword of Jehovah and of Gideon! Judg. 7:20
And they stood every man in his place round about the camp; and all the host ran, and cried out, and fled. Judg. 7:21
And the three hundred blew the trumpets, and Jehovah set every man's sword against his fellow, even throughout the camp. And the host fled to Beth-shittah towards Zererah, to the border of Abel-meholah, by Tabbath. Judg. 7:22
And the men of Israel were called together out of Naphtali, and out of Asher, and out of all Manasseh, and pursued after Midian. Judg. 7:23
And Gideon sent messengers throughout mount Ephraim, saying, Come down against Midian, and take before them the waters unto Beth-barah, and the Jordan. And all the men of Ephraim were called together, and took the waters unto Beth-barah, and the Jordan. Judg. 7:24
And they took two princes of Midian, Oreb and Zeeb; and they slew Oreb upon the rock Oreb, and Zeeb they slew at the winepress of Zeeb; and they pursued Midian, and brought the heads of Oreb and Zeeb to Gideon beyond the Jordan. Judg. 7:25
And the men of Ephraim said to him, What is this thing thou hast done to us, that thou calledst us not, when thou wentest to fight with Midian? And they disputed with him sharply. Judg. 8:1
And he said to them, What have I done now in comparison with you? Are not the gleanings of Ephraim better than the vintage of Abi-ezer? Judg. 8:2
Into your hands hath God delivered the princes of Midian, Oreb and Zeeb; and what was I able to do in comparison with you? Then their spirit was appeased toward him, when he said that word. Judg. 8:3
And Gideon came to the Jordan, and passed over, he and the three hundred men that were with him, faint, yet pursuing. Judg. 8:4
And he said to the men of Succoth, Give, I pray you, loaves of bread to the people that follow me, for they are faint; and I am pursuing after Zebah and Zalmunna, kings of Midian. Judg. 8:5
And the chief men of Succoth said, Are the hands of Zebah and Zalmunna already in thy hand, that we should give bread to thine army? Judg. 8:6
And Gideon said, Therefore when Jehovah delivers Zebah and Zalmunna into my hand, I will thresh your flesh with thorns of the wilderness and with briars. Judg. 8:7
And he went up thence to Penuel, and spoke to them in like manner. And the men of Penuel answered him as the men of Succoth had answered. Judg. 8:8
And he spoke also to the men of Penuel, saying, When I come again in peace, I will break down this tower. Judg. 8:9
Now Zebah and Zalmunna were in Karkor, and their camp with them, about fifteen thousand men, all that were left of the whole camp of the children of the east; for there had fallen a hundred and twenty thousand men that drew sword. Judg. 8:10
And Gideon went up by the way of them that dwell in tents on the east of Nobah and Jogbehah, and smote the camp; for the camp was at its ease. Judg. 8:11
And Zebah and Zalmunna fled, and he pursued after them, and he took the two kings of Midian, Zebah and Zalmunna, and discomfited all the camp. Judg. 8:12
And Gideon the son of Joash returned from the battle, from the ascent of Heres. Judg. 8:13
And he caught a youth of the men of Succoth, and inquired of him; and he wrote down for him the chief men of Succoth, and the elders thereof, seventy-seven men. Judg. 8:14
And he came to the men of Succoth, and said, Behold Zebah and Zalmunna, with whom ye did upbraid me, saying, Are the hands of Zebah and Zalmunna already in thy hand, that we should give bread to thy men that are weary? Judg. 8:15
And he took the elders of the city, and thorns of the wilderness and briars, and with them he taught the men of Succoth. Judg. 8:16
And he broke down the tower of Penuel, and slew the men of the city. Judg. 8:17
Then said he to Zebah and Zalmunna, What sort of men were they that ye slew at Tabor? And they answered, As thou art, so were they; each one resembled the sons of a king. Judg. 8:18
And he said, They were my brethren, the sons of my mother. As Jehovah liveth, if ye had saved them alive, I would not slay you. Judg. 8:19
And he said to Jether his firstborn, Arise, slay them! But the youth drew not his sword; for he feared, because he was yet a youth. Judg. 8:20
Then Zebah and Zalmunna said, Rise thou, and fall on us; for as is the man, so is his strength. And Gideon arose, and slew Zebah and Zalmunna; and he took the moons that were on their camels' necks. Judg. 8:21
And the men of Israel said to Gideon, Rule over us, both thou, and thy son, and thy son's son also; for thou hast saved us from the hand of Midian. Judg. 8:22
And Gideon said to them, I would desire a request of you: give me every man the earrings of his booty; for they had golden earrings, because they were Ishmaelites. Judg. 8:24
And they said, We will willingly give them. And they spread a garment, and cast therein every man the earrings of his booty. Judg. 8:25
And the weight of the golden earrings that he requested was a thousand seven hundred shekels of gold; besides the moons, and eardrops, and the purple garments that were on the kings of Midian, and besides the chains that were about their camels' necks. Judg. 8:26
And Midian was subdued before the children of Israel, and they lifted up their heads no more. And the land had rest forty years in the days of Gideon. Judg. 8:28
And Jerubbaal the son of Joash went and dwelt in his house. Judg. 8:29
And his concubine that was in Shechem, she also bore him a son, and he gave him the name of Abimelech. Judg. 8:31
And Gideon the son of Joash died in a good old age, and was buried in the sepulchre of Joash his father, in Ophrah of the Abi-ezrites. Judg. 8:32
And it came to pass when Gideon was dead, that the children of Israel turned again, and went a whoring after the Baals, and set up Baal-Berith as their god. Judg. 8:33
And the children of Israel remembered not Jehovah their God, who had delivered them out of the hand of all their enemies on every side. Judg. 8:34
And they shewed no kindness to the house of Jerubbaal-Gideon, according to all the good that he had done to Israel. Judg. 8:35
And Abimelech son of Jerubbaal went to Shechem to his mother's brethren, and spoke to them, and to all the family of the house of his mother's father, saying, Judg. 9:1
Speak, I pray you, in the ears of all the citizens of Shechem, Which is better for you, that seventy persons, all sons of Jerubbaal, rule over you, or that one man rule over you? And remember that I am your bone and your flesh. Judg. 9:2
And his mother's brethren spoke of him in the ears of all the citizens of Shechem all these words. And their heart inclined after Abimelech; for they said, He is our brother. Judg. 9:3
And they gave him seventy pieces of silver out of the house of Baal-Berith, and Abimelech hired with them vain and wanton men, and they followed him. Judg. 9:4
And he came to his father's house, to Ophrah, and slew his brethren the sons of Jerubbaal, seventy persons upon one stone; but there remained Jotham the youngest son of Jerubbaal; for he had hid himself. Judg. 9:5
And all the citizens of Shechem gathered together, and all the house of Millo, and went and made Abimelech king, by the memorial-oak that is in Shechem. Judg. 9:6
And they told it to Jotham, and he went and stood on the top of mount Gerizim, and lifted up his voice, and cried, and said to them, Hearken to me, ye citizens of Shechem, that God may hearken to you. Judg. 9:7
The trees once went forth to anoint a king over them; and they said to the olive-tree, Reign over us. Judg. 9:8
And the olive-tree said to them, Should I leave my fatness, wherewith by me they honour God and man, and go to wave over the trees? Judg. 9:9
And the trees said to the fig-tree, Come thou, reign over us. Judg. 9:10
But the fig-tree said to them, Should I leave my sweetness, and my good fruit, and go to wave over the trees? Judg. 9:11
Then said the trees to the vine, Come thou, reign over us. Judg. 9:12
And the vine said to them, Should I leave my new wine, which cheers God and man, and go to wave over the trees? Judg. 9:13
Then said all the trees to the thorn-bush, Come thou, reign over us. Judg. 9:14
And the thorn-bush said to the trees, If in truth ye anoint me king over you, come, put confidence in my shadow; but if not, fire shall come out of the thorn-bush and devour the cedars of Lebanon. Judg. 9:15
Now therefore, if ye have dealt truly and sincerely in that ye have made Abimelech king, and if ye have dealt well with Jerubbaal and his house, and if ye have done to him according to the deserving of his hands; Judg. 9:16
-- for my father fought for you, and endangered his life, and delivered you out of the hand of Midian; Judg. 9:17
but ye are risen up against my father's house this day, and have slain his sons, seventy men, upon one stone, and have made Abimelech, the son of his handmaid, king over the citizens of Shechem, because he is your brother; Judg. 9:18
but if not, let fire come out from Abimelech, and devour the citizens of Shechem and the house of Millo; and let fire come out from the citizens of Shechem and from the house of Millo, and devour Abimelech. Judg. 9:20
And God sent an evil spirit between Abimelech and the citizens of Shechem; and the citizens of Shechem dealt treacherously with Abimelech, Judg. 9:23
that the violence done to the seventy sons of Jerubbaal might come, and their blood be laid upon Abimelech their brother, who slew them, and upon the citizens of Shechem, who had strengthened his hands to slay his brethren. Judg. 9:24
And the citizens of Shechem set liers in wait for him on the tops of the mountains, and they robbed all that came along that way by them. And it was told Abimelech. Judg. 9:25
And Gaal the son of Ebed came with his brethren, and went over to Shechem; and the citizens of Shechem put confidence in him. Judg. 9:26
And they went out into the fields, and gathered their vineyards, and trode the grapes, and made rejoicings, and went into the house of their god, and ate and drank, and cursed Abimelech. Judg. 9:27
And Gaal the son of Ebed said, Who is Abimelech, and who is Shechem, that we should serve him? is he not the son of Jerubbaal? and Zebul his overseer? Serve the men of Hamor the father of Shechem! and why should *we* serve him? Judg. 9:28
And Zebul the ruler of the city heard the words of Gaal the son of Ebed, and his anger was kindled; Judg. 9:30
and he sent messengers to Abimelech craftily, saying, Behold, Gaal the son of Ebed and his brethren are come to Shechem, and behold, they shut up the city against thee; Judg. 9:31
and now, rise up by night, thou and the people that are with thee, and lie in ambush in the fields. Judg. 9:32
And it shall be in the morning when the sun is up, thou shalt rise early, and fall upon the city; and behold, he and the people that is with him shall come out against thee, and thou shalt do with him as thou shalt find occasion. Judg. 9:33
And Abimelech rose up, and all the people that were with him, by night, and they lay in ambush against Shechem in four companies. Judg. 9:34
And Gaal the son of Ebed went out, and stood in the entrance of the gate of the city. Then Abimelech rose up, and the people that were with him, out of the ambush. Judg. 9:35
And Gaal saw the people, and said to Zebul, Behold, people are coming down from the tops of the mountains. And Zebul said to him, Thou seest the shadow of the mountains as men. Judg. 9:36
And Gaal spoke again, and said, Behold, people are coming down from the high part of the land, and one company is coming along by the way of the Magician's oak. Judg. 9:37
Then said Zebul to him, Where is now thy mouth, thou that saidst, Who is Abimelech, that we should serve him? is not this the people that thou hast despised? go out now, I pray, and fight against them. Judg. 9:38
And Gaal went out before the citizens of Shechem, and fought against Abimelech. Judg. 9:39
And Abimelech pursued him, and he fled before him, and there fell many wounded, as far as the entrance of the gate. Judg. 9:40
And it came to pass on the morrow, that the people went out into the field; and they told Abimelech. Judg. 9:42
And he took the people, and divided them into three companies, and lay in ambush in the field. And he looked, and behold, the people came forth out of the city; and he rose up against them and smote them. Judg. 9:43
And Abimelech, and the companies that were with him, rushed forward, and stood in the entrance of the gate of the city; and two of the companies ran upon all that were in the fields, and slew them. Judg. 9:44
And Abimelech fought against the city all that day; and he took the city, and slew the people that were in it, and broke down the city, and sowed it with salt. Judg. 9:45
And all the men of the tower of Shechem heard that, and they entered into the stronghold of the house of the *god Berith. Judg. 9:46
And it was told Abimelech that all the men of the tower of Shechem had gathered together. Judg. 9:47
Then Abimelech went up to mount Zalmon, he and all the people that were with him; and Abimelech took an axe in his hand, and cut down a bough from the trees, and took it up and laid it on his shoulder, and said to the people that was with him, What ye have seen me do, make haste, do as I have done. Judg. 9:48
And all the people likewise cut down every man his bough, and they followed Abimelech, and put them to the hold, and burned the hold with fire upon them. And all the men of the tower of Shechem died also, about a thousand men and women. Judg. 9:49
But there was a strong tower in the midst of the city, and thither fled all the men and women, all the citizens of the city; and they shut it behind them, and went up to the roof of the tower. Judg. 9:51
And Abimelech came to the tower, and fought against it, and he drew near to the entrance of the tower to burn it with fire; Judg. 9:52
and a woman cast the upper stone of a handmill on Abimelech's head, and crushed his skull. Judg. 9:53
Then he called hastily to the young man that carried his armour, and said to him, Draw thy sword, and slay me, that they say not of me, A woman killed him. And his young man thrust him through, and he died. Judg. 9:54
And when the men of Israel saw that Abimelech was dead, they went every man to his place. Judg. 9:55
And God rendered back the wickedness of Abimelech, which he did to his father in slaying his seventy brethren. Judg. 9:56
And all the evil of the men of Shechem did God render back upon their heads; and upon them came the curse of Jotham the son of Jerubbaal. Judg. 9:57
And after Abimelech, there rose up to save Israel Tola the son of Puah, the son of Dodo, a man of Issachar; and he dwelt in Shamir on mount Ephraim. Judg. 10:1
And he had thirty sons who rode on thirty ass colts; and they had thirty cities, which are called the villages of Jair to this day, which are in the land of Gilead. Judg. 10:4
And the children of Israel again did evil in the sight of Jehovah, and served the Baals, and the Ashtoreths, and the gods of Syria, and the gods of Zidon, and the gods of Moab, and the gods of the children of Ammon, and the gods of the Philistines; and they forsook Jehovah, and served him not. Judg. 10:6
And the anger of Jehovah was hot against Israel, and he sold him into the hand of the Philistines, and into the hand of the children of Ammon. Judg. 10:7
And they oppressed and crushed the children of Israel in that year; eighteen years they oppressed all the children of Israel that were beyond the Jordan in the land of the Amorites, which is in Gilead. Judg. 10:8
And the children of Ammon passed over the Jordan to fight also against Judah, and against Benjamin, and against the house of Ephraim; and Israel was greatly distressed. Judg. 10:9
And the children of Israel cried to Jehovah, saying, We have sinned against thee, both because we have forsaken our God, and also served the Baals. Judg. 10:10
And Jehovah said to the children of Israel, Did I not save you from the Egyptians, and from the Amorites, from the children of Ammon, and from the Philistines? Judg. 10:11
The Zidonians also, and Amalek and Maon oppressed you, and ye cried to me, and I saved you out of their hand. Judg. 10:12
Go and cry to the gods that ye have chosen: let them save you in the time of your trouble. Judg. 10:14
And the children of Israel said to Jehovah, We have sinned. Do thou unto us according to all that is good in thy sight; only deliver us, we pray thee, this day. Judg. 10:15
And they put away the strange gods from among them, and served Jehovah; and his soul was grieved for the misery of Israel. Judg. 10:16
And the children of Ammon were called together and encamped in Gilead; and the children of Israel gathered together and encamped in Mizpeh. Judg. 10:17
And the people, the chief men of Gilead, said one to another, Who is the man that will begin to fight against the children of Ammon? he shall be head over all the inhabitants of Gilead. Judg. 10:18
Now Jephthah the Gileadite was a mighty man of valour, and he was the son of a harlot; and Gilead had begotten Jephthah. Judg. 11:1
And Gilead's wife bore him sons; and when his wife's sons were grown, they expelled Jephthah, and said to him, Thou shalt not inherit in our father's house; for thou art the son of another woman. Judg. 11:2
Then Jephthah fled from his brethren, and dwelt in the land of Tob. And vain men were gathered to Jephthah, and they made expeditions with him. Judg. 11:3
And it came to pass after some time, that the children of Ammon fought with Israel. Judg. 11:4
And when the children of Ammon made war against Israel, the elders of Gilead went to fetch Jephthah out of the land of Tob. Judg. 11:5
And they said to Jephthah, Come, and be our captain, that we may fight against the children of Ammon. Judg. 11:6
And Jephthah said to the elders of Gilead, Did not ye hate me, and expel me out of my father's house? and why are ye come to me now when ye are in trouble? Judg. 11:7
And the elders of Gilead said to Jephthah, Therefore we have returned to thee now, that thou mayest go with us, and fight against the children of Ammon, and be head over all of us the inhabitants of Gilead. Judg. 11:8
And Jephthah said to the elders of Gilead, If ye take me back to fight against the children of Ammon, and Jehovah give them up before me, shall I be your head? Judg. 11:9
And the elders of Gilead said unto Jephthah, Jehovah be witness between us, if we do not so according to thy words! Judg. 11:10
Then Jephthah went with the elders of Gilead, and the people made him head and captain over them; and Jephthah uttered all his words before Jehovah in Mizpah. Judg. 11:11
And Jephthah sent messengers to the king of the children of Ammon, saying, What hast thou to do with me, that thou art come against me to fight against my land? Judg. 11:12
And the king of the children of Ammon said to the messengers of Jephthah, Because Israel took away my land, when they came up out of Egypt, from the Arnon even unto the Jabbok and unto the Jordan; and now restore it peaceably. Judg. 11:13
And Jephthah sent messengers again to the king of the children of Ammon, Judg. 11:14
and said to him, Thus saith Jephthah: Israel took not away the land of Moab, nor the land of the children of Ammon. Judg. 11:15
But when they came up from Egypt, then Israel walked through the wilderness as far as the Red sea, and came to Kadesh. Judg. 11:16
And Israel sent messengers to the king of Edom, saying, Let me, I pray thee, pass through thy land; but the king of Edom would not hearken. And they also sent to the king of Moab; and he would not. And Israel abode in Kadesh. Judg. 11:17
And they walked through the wilderness, and went round the land of Edom and the land of Moab, and came by the east of the land of Moab, and encamped beyond the Arnon, but came not within the border of Moab, for the Arnon is the border of Moab. Judg. 11:18
And Israel sent messengers to Sihon king of the Amorites, the king of Heshbon, and Israel said to him, Let us pass, we pray thee, through thy land unto my place. Judg. 11:19
And Jehovah the God of Israel gave Sihon and all his people into the hand of Israel, and they smote them; and Israel took possession of the whole land of the Amorites, who dwelt in that country. Judg. 11:21
And they possessed all the borders of the Amorites, from the Arnon unto the Jabbok, and from the wilderness unto the Jordan. Judg. 11:22
And now Jehovah the God of Israel has dispossessed the Amorites from before his people Israel, and shouldest thou take possession of it? Judg. 11:23
And now art thou indeed better than Balak the son of Zippor, king of Moab? did he ever strive with Israel? did he ever fight against them? Judg. 11:25
While Israel dwelt in Heshbon and its dependent villages, and in Aroer and its dependent villages, and in all the cities that are along the banks of the Arnon, three hundred years -- why did ye not recover them within that time? Judg. 11:26
So I have not sinned against thee, but it is thou who doest me wrong in making war against me. Jehovah, the Judge, be judge this day between the children of Israel and the children of Ammon! Judg. 11:27
But the king of the children of Ammon hearkened not to the words of Jephthah that he had sent him. Judg. 11:28
Then the Spirit of Jehovah came upon Jephthah, and he passed through Gilead and Manasseh, and passed to Mizpeh of Gilead, and from Mizpeh of Gilead he passed over to the children of Ammon. Judg. 11:29
And Jephthah vowed a vow to Jehovah, and said, If thou wilt without fail give the children of Ammon into my hand, Judg. 11:30
then shall that which cometh forth from the door of my house to meet me, when I return in peace from the children of Ammon, be Jehovah's, and I will offer it up for a burnt-offering. Judg. 11:31
And Jephthah passed over to the children of Ammon to fight against them; and Jehovah gave them into his hand. Judg. 11:32
And he smote them from Aroer until thou come to Minnith, twenty cities, even unto Abel-Cheramim, with a very great slaughter; and the children of Ammon were subdued before the children of Israel. Judg. 11:33
And she said to him, My father, if thou hast opened thy mouth to Jehovah, do to me according to that which has proceeded out of thy mouth; forasmuch as Jehovah has taken vengeance for thee upon thine enemies, upon the children of Ammon. Judg. 11:36
And she said to her father, Let this thing be done for me: leave me alone two months, that I may go and descend to the mountains, and bewail my virginity, I and my companions. Judg. 11:37
And he said, Go. And he sent her away for two months. And she went with her companions, and bewailed her virginity upon the mountains. Judg. 11:38
And it came to pass at the end of two months, that she returned to her father, and he performed on her the vow that he had vowed; and she had known no man. And it became a fixed custom in Israel, Judg. 11:39
that from year to year the daughters of Israel go to celebrate the daughter of Jephthah the Gileadite four days in the year. Judg. 11:40
And the men of Ephraim were called together, and passed over northwards, and said to Jephthah, Why didst thou pass over to fight against the children of Ammon, and didst not call us to go with thee? We will burn thy house upon thee with fire. Judg. 12:1
And Jephthah said to them, I was at great strife, I and my people, with the children of Ammon; and I called you, but ye saved me not out of their hand. Judg. 12:2
And when I saw that ye would not save me, I put my life in my hand, and passed over against the children of Ammon, and Jehovah gave them into my hand. Why then are ye come up to me this day, to fight against me? Judg. 12:3
And Jephthah gathered together all the men of Gilead, and fought with Ephraim; and the men of Gilead smote Ephraim, because they said, Ye, Gilead, ye are fugitives of Ephraim in the midst of Ephraim, and in the midst of Manasseh. Judg. 12:4
And Gilead took the fords of the Jordan before Ephraim; and it came to pass that when the fugitives of Ephraim said, Let me go over, the men of Gilead said to him, Art thou an Ephraimite? and he said, No. Judg. 12:5
Then they said to him, Say now Shibboleth! and he said, Sibboleth, and did not manage to pronounce it rightly. Then they took him, and slaughtered him at the fords of the Jordan. And there fell at that time of Ephraim forty-two thousand. Judg. 12:6
And Jephthah judged Israel six years. And Jephthah the Gileadite died, and was buried in one of the cities of Gilead. Judg. 12:7
And he had thirty sons; and thirty daughters he sent out of the house, and thirty daughters he took in from abroad for his sons. And he judged Israel seven years. Judg. 12:9
And after him Elon, the Zebulonite, judged Israel; and he judged Israel ten years. Judg. 12:11
And Elon the Zebulonite died, and was buried in Ajalon in the land of Zebulun. Judg. 12:12
And after him Abdon the son of Hillel, the Pirathonite, judged Israel. Judg. 12:13
And Abdon the son of Hillel, the Pirathonite, died, and was buried in Pirathon in the land of Ephraim, in the hill-country of the Amalekites. Judg. 12:15
And the children of Israel again did evil in the sight of Jehovah; and Jehovah gave them into the hand of the Philistines forty years. Judg. 13:1
And there was a certain man of Zoreah, of the family of the Danites, and his name was Manoah. And his wife was barren and did not bear. Judg. 13:2
And the Angel of Jehovah appeared to the woman, and said to her, Behold now, thou art barren and bearest not; but thou shalt conceive and bear a son. Judg. 13:3
For lo, thou shalt conceive, and bear a son, and no razor shall come on his head; for the boy shall be a Nazarite of God from the womb; and he shall begin to save Israel out of the hand of the Philistines. Judg. 13:5
And the woman came and told her husband, saying, A man of God came to me, and his appearance was like the appearance of an angel of God, very terrible; but I did not ask him whence he was, neither did he tell me his name. Judg. 13:6
And he said to me, Behold, thou shalt conceive and bear a son; and now drink not wine nor strong drink, and eat not anything unclean; for the boy shall be a Nazarite of God from the womb to the day of his death. Judg. 13:7
Then Manoah prayed to Jehovah, and said, Ah Lord! let the man of God which thou didst send come again unto us, I pray thee, and teach us what we shall do unto the child that shall be born. Judg. 13:8
And God hearkened to the voice of Manoah; and the Angel of God came again to the woman whilst she sat in the field; but Manoah her husband was not with her. Judg. 13:9
Then the woman hasted and ran, and informed her husband, and said to him, Behold, the man has appeared to me, that came to me that day. Judg. 13:10
And Manoah rose up and went after his wife, and came to the man, and said to him, Art thou the man that didst speak to the woman? And he said, I am. Judg. 13:11
And Manoah said, When thy words then come to pass, what shall be the child's manner and his doing? Judg. 13:12
And the Angel of Jehovah said to Manoah, Of all that I said unto the woman let her beware: Judg. 13:13
she shall not eat of anything that cometh of the vine, neither shall she drink wine or strong drink, nor eat anything unclean: all that I commanded her shall she observe. Judg. 13:14
And Manoah said to the Angel of Jehovah, I pray thee, let us detain thee, and we will make ready a kid of the goats for thee. Judg. 13:15
And the Angel of Jehovah said to Manoah, Though thou shouldest detain me, I will not eat of thy bread; and if thou wilt offer a burnt-offering, thou shalt offer it up to Jehovah. For Manoah knew not that he was the Angel of Jehovah. Judg. 13:16
And Manoah said to the Angel of Jehovah, What is thy name, that when thy word cometh to pass we may do thee honour? Judg. 13:17
And the Angel of Jehovah said to him, How is it that thou askest after my name, seeing it is wonderful? Judg. 13:18
Then Manoah took the kid and the oblation, and offered it up to Jehovah upon the rock. And he did wondrously, and Manoah and his wife looked on. Judg. 13:19
And it came to pass, as the flame went up from off the altar towards the heavens, that the Angel of Jehovah ascended in the flame of the altar; and Manoah and his wife looked on, and fell on their faces to the ground. Judg. 13:20
And the Angel of Jehovah appeared no more to Manoah and to his wife. Then Manoah knew that it was the Angel of Jehovah. Judg. 13:21
And the woman bore a son, and called his name Samson. And the child grew, and Jehovah blessed him. Judg. 13:24
And the Spirit of Jehovah began to move him at Mahaneh-Dan, between Zoreah and Eshtaol. Judg. 13:25
And Samson went down to Timnathah, and saw a woman in Timnathah of the daughters of the Philistines. Judg. 14:1
And he went up, and told his father and his mother, and said, I have seen a woman in Timnathah of the daughters of the Philistines; and now take her for me as wife. Judg. 14:2
And his father and his mother said to him, Is there no woman among the daughters of thy brethren, and among all my people, that thou goest to take a wife of the Philistines, the uncircumcised? And Samson said to his father, Take her for me, for she pleases me well. Judg. 14:3
And his father and his mother did not know that it was of Jehovah, that he was seeking an occasion against the Philistines. Now at that time the Philistines were ruling over Israel. Judg. 14:4
And Samson went down, and his father and his mother, to Timnathah; and they came to the vineyards of Timnathah. And behold, a young lion roared against him; Judg. 14:5
and the Spirit of Jehovah came upon him, and he rent it as one rends a kid, and nothing was in his hand. And he did not tell his father or his mother what he had done. Judg. 14:6
And he went down and talked with the woman; and she pleased Samson well. Judg. 14:7
And he returned after a time to take her, and he turned aside to see the carcase of the lion; and behold, there was a swarm of bees in the carcase of the lion, and honey; Judg. 14:8
and he took it out in his hands, and went on, and ate as he went. And he came to his father and to his mother, and gave them, and they ate; but he did not tell them that he had taken the honey out of the carcase of the lion. Judg. 14:9
And his father went down to the woman, and Samson made there a feast; for so used the young men to do. Judg. 14:10
And Samson said to them, Let me now propound a riddle to you; if ye clearly explain it to me within the seven days of the feast, and find it out, then I will give you thirty shirts, and thirty changes of garments. Judg. 14:12
And he said to them, Out of the eater came forth food, And out of the strong came forth sweetness. And they could not in three days explain the riddle. Judg. 14:14
And it came to pass on the seventh day, that they said to Samson's wife, Persuade thy husband, that he may explain to us the riddle, lest we burn thee and thy father's house with fire. Have ye invited us to impoverish us, -- is it not so? Judg. 14:15
And Samson's wife wept before him, and said, Thou dost but hate me, and lovest me not. Thou hast propounded the riddle to the children of my people, and hast not explained it to me. And he said to her, Behold, I have not explained it to my father nor my mother, and shall I explain it to thee? Judg. 14:16
And she wept before him the seven days, while they had the feast. And it came to pass on the seventh day, that he explained it to her, for she pressed him. And she explained the riddle to the children of her people. Judg. 14:17
And the men of the city said to him on the seventh day before the sun went down, What is sweeter than honey, And what stronger than a lion? And he said to them, If ye had not ploughed with my heifer, Ye had not found out my riddle. Judg. 14:18
And the Spirit of Jehovah came upon him, and he went down to Ashkelon, and slew of them thirty men, and took their spoil, and gave the changes of garments unto them that explained the riddle. And his anger was kindled, and he went up to his father's house. Judg. 14:19
And it came to pass after a time, in the days of the wheat-harvest, that Samson visited his wife with a kid of the goats. And he said, I will go in to my wife into the chamber; but her father would not suffer him to go in. Judg. 15:1
And Samson said to them, This time I am blameless toward the Philistines, though I do them harm. Judg. 15:3
And Samson went and caught three hundred jackals, and took torches, and turned tail to tail, and put a torch in the midst between the two tails. Judg. 15:4
And he set the torches on fire, and let them run into the standing corn of the Philistines, and burnt up both the shocks, and also the standing corn, and the olive gardens. Judg. 15:5
And the Philistines said, Who has done this? And they answered, Samson, the son-in-law of the Timnite, because he took his wife and gave her to his companion. And the Philistines came up, and burned her and her father with fire. Judg. 15:6
And he smote them hip and thigh with a great slaughter. And he went down and dwelt in the cleft of the cliff Etam. Judg. 15:8
And the Philistines went up, and encamped in Judah, and spread themselves in Lehi. Judg. 15:9
And the men of Judah said, Why are ye come up against us? And they said, To bind Samson are we come up, to do to him as he has done to us. Judg. 15:10
Then three thousand men of Judah went down to the cleft of the cliff Etam, and said to Samson, Knowest thou not that the Philistines rule over us? And what is this that thou hast done to us? And he said to them, As they did to me, so have I done to them. Judg. 15:11
And they said to him, We are come down to bind thee, that we may give thee into the hand of the Philistines. And Samson said to them, Swear to me that ye will not fall on me yourselves. Judg. 15:12
And they spoke to him, saying, No; but we will bind thee fast, and deliver thee into their hand; but we certainly shall not put thee to death. And they bound him with two new cords, and brought him up from the cliff. Judg. 15:13
When he came to Lehi, the Philistines shouted against him. And the Spirit of Jehovah came upon him, and the cords that were on his arms became as threads of flax that are burned with fire, and his bands loosed from off his hands. Judg. 15:14
And Samson said, With the jawbone of an ass, a heap, two heaps, With the jawbone of an ass have I slain a thousand men. Judg. 15:16
And it came to pass when he had ended speaking, that he cast away the jawbone out of his hand, and called that place Ramath-Lehi. Judg. 15:17
And he was very thirsty, and called on Jehovah, and said, Thou hast given by the hand of thy servant this great deliverance, and now shall I die for thirst, and fall into the hand of the uncircumcised? Judg. 15:18
And God clave the hallow rock which was in Lehi, and water came out of it. And he drank, and his spirit came again, and he revived. Therefore its name was called En-hakkore, which is in Lehi to this day. Judg. 15:19
And he judged Israel in the days of the Philistines twenty years. Judg. 15:20
And it was told the Gazathites, saying, Samson is come hither. And they surrounded him, and laid wait for him all night at the gate of the city, and were quiet all the night, saying, In the morning light we will kill him. Judg. 16:2
And Samson lay till midnight; and he arose at midnight, and seized the doors of the gate of the city, and the two posts, and tore them up with the bar, and put them upon his shoulders, and carried them up to the top of the mountain that is before Hebron. Judg. 16:3
And it came to pass afterwards that he loved a woman in the valley of Sorek, whose name was Delilah. Judg. 16:4
And the lords of the Philistines came up to her, and said to her, Persuade him, and see in what his great strength is, and with what we may prevail against him, that we may bind him to overpower him; and we will each give thee eleven hundred silver-pieces. Judg. 16:5
Then the lords of the Philistines brought up to her seven fresh cords which had not been dried, and she bound him with them. Judg. 16:8
Now she had liers in wait abiding in the chamber; and she said to him, The Philistines are upon thee, Samson! And he broke the cords, as a thread of tow is broken when it touches the fire; and his strength was not known. Judg. 16:9
And Delilah took new ropes, and bound him with them, and said to him, The Philistines are upon thee, Samson! Now there were liers in wait abiding in the chamber. And he broke them from off his arms like a thread. Judg. 16:12
And Delilah said to Samson, Hitherto thou hast mocked me and told me lies. Tell me with what thou mightest be bound. And he said to her, If thou shouldest weave the seven locks of my head with the web. Judg. 16:13
And she fastened it with the pin, and said to him, The Philistines are upon thee, Samson! And he awoke out of his sleep, and tore out the pin of the beam, and the web. Judg. 16:14
And Delilah saw that he had told her all his heart, and she sent and called for the lords of the Philistines, saying, Come up this time, for he has told me all his heart. And the lords of the Philistines came up to her, and brought the money in their hand. Judg. 16:18
And she made him sleep upon her knees, and called a man, and she caused him to shave off the seven locks of his head; and she began to overpower him, and his strength went from him. Judg. 16:19
And she said, The Philistines are upon thee, Samson! And he awoke out of his sleep, and thought, I will go out as at other times before, and disengage myself. And he knew not that Jehovah had departed from him. Judg. 16:20
And the Philistines seized him, and put out his eyes, and brought him down to Gazah, and bound him with fetters of bronze; and he had to grind in the prison-house. Judg. 16:21
But the hair of his head began to grow after he was shaved. Judg. 16:22
Then the lords of the Philistines gathered together to sacrifice a great sacrifice to Dagon their god, and to rejoice; for they said, Our god has given Samson our enemy into our hands. Judg. 16:23
And when the people saw him, they praised their god; for they said, Our god has given into our hands our enemy, and the destroyer of our country, even him who multiplied our slain. Judg. 16:24
And it came to pass when their hearts were merry, that they said, Call for Samson, that he may make us sport. And they called for Samson out of the prison-house, and he played before them; and they set him between the pillars. Judg. 16:25
And Samson said to the lad that held him by the hand, Let loose of me, and suffer me to feel the pillars upon which the house stands, that I may lean upon them. Judg. 16:26
Now the house was full of men and women; and all the lords of the Philistines were there; and upon the roof there were about three thousand men and women, who looked on while Samson made sport. Judg. 16:27
And Samson called to Jehovah, and said, Lord Jehovah, remember me, I pray thee, and strengthen me, I pray thee, only this once, O God, that I may take one vengeance upon the Philistines for my two eyes. Judg. 16:28
And Samson took hold of the two middle pillars upon which the house stood (and he supported himself upon them), the one with his right hand and the other with his left. Judg. 16:29
And Samson said, Let me die with the Philistines! And he bowed himself with might; and the house fell on the lords, and on all the people that were therein. So the dead that he slew at his death were more than those whom he had slain in his life. Judg. 16:30
And his brethren came down, and all the house of his father, and took him, and brought him up, and buried him between Zoreah and Eshtaol in the sepulchre of Manoah his father. And he had judged Israel twenty years. Judg. 16:31
And he said to his mother, The eleven hundred silver-pieces that were taken from thee, and about which thou didst curse and speak of in mine ears, behold, the silver is with me; I took it. And his mother said, Blessed be my son of Jehovah! Judg. 17:2
And he restored the eleven hundred silver-pieces to his mother; and his mother said, I had dedicated the silver to Jehovah from my hand for my son, to make a graven image and a molten image; and now I will restore it to thee. Judg. 17:3
Now he restored the silver to his mother; and his mother took two hundred silver-pieces and gave them to the founder, and he made of them a graven image and a molten image; and they were in the house of Micah. Judg. 17:4
And the man Micah had a house of gods, and made an ephod and teraphim, and consecrated one of his sons, who became his priest. Judg. 17:5
And there was a young man out of Bethlehem-Judah of the family of Judah, who was a Levite, and he sojourned there. Judg. 17:7
And the man departed from the city, from Bethlehem-Judah, to sojourn where he might find a place. And as he journeyed, he came to mount Ephraim, to the house of Micah. Judg. 17:8
And Micah said to him, Dwell with me, and be to me a father and a priest, and I will give thee yearly ten silver-pieces, and a suit of garments, and thy victuals. And the Levite went in. Judg. 17:10
And the Levite was content to dwell with the man; and the young man was to him as one of his sons. Judg. 17:11
And Micah consecrated the Levite; and the young man became his priest, and was in the house of Micah. Judg. 17:12
Then said Micah, Now I know that Jehovah will do me good, because I have the Levite for priest. Judg. 17:13
In those days there was no king in Israel, and in those days the tribe of the Danites sought for themselves an inheritance to dwell in; for to that day their lot had not fallen to them for inheritance among the tribes of Israel. Judg. 18:1
And the children of Dan sent of their family five men of their whole number, men of valour, from Zoreah and from Eshtaol, to spy out the land, and to examine it; and they said to them, Go, examine the land. And they came to the hill-country of Ephraim, to the house of Micah, and lodged there. Judg. 18:2
When they were by the house of Micah, they knew the voice of the young man, the Levite; and they turned in thither, and said to him, Who brought thee hither? and what doest thou in this place? and what hast thou here? Judg. 18:3
And the priest said to them, Go in peace: before Jehovah is your way on which ye go. Judg. 18:6
And the five men departed, and came to Laish; and they saw the people that were therein, dwelling securely, after the manner of the Zidonians, quiet and secure; and no one was in the land who possessed authority, that might put them to shame in anything; and they were far from the Zidonians, and had nothing to do with any man. Judg. 18:7
And they said, Arise, and let us go up against them; for we have seen the land, and behold, it is very good; and ye are still! Be not slothful to go, to enter to take possession of the land. Judg. 18:9
When ye go in, ye shall come to a people secure, and the land is spacious in every direction; for God has given it into your hands; it is a place where there is no want of anything that is on the earth. Judg. 18:10
And there went from thence of the family of the Danites, out of Zoreah and out of Eshtaol, six hundred men girded with weapons of war. Judg. 18:11
And they passed thence to mount Ephraim, and came to the house of Micah. Judg. 18:13
Then the five men that had gone to spy out the country of Laish spoke and said to their brethren, Do ye know that there is in these houses an ephod, and teraphim, and a graven image, and a molten image? And now ye know what to do. Judg. 18:14
And they turned thither, and came to the house of the young man the Levite, the house of Micah, and inquired after his welfare. Judg. 18:15
And the six hundred men of the children of Dan, girded with their weapons of war, stood at the entrance of the gate. Judg. 18:16
And the five men that had gone to spy out the land went up, entered in thither, and took the graven image, and the ephod, and the teraphim, and the molten image; and the priest stood at the entrance of the gate with the six hundred men that were girded with weapons of war. Judg. 18:17
And these came into Micah's house, and took the carved image, the ephod, and the teraphim, and the molten image. And the priest said to them, What do ye? Judg. 18:18
And they said to him, Hold thy peace, lay thy hand upon thy mouth, and go with us, and be to us a father and a priest. Is it better for thee to be a priest for the house of one man, or to be priest for a tribe and a family in Israel? Judg. 18:19
Then the priest's heart was glad, and he took the ephod, and the teraphim, and the graven image, and went in the midst of the people. Judg. 18:20
And they turned and departed, and put the little ones and the cattle and the baggage before them. Judg. 18:21
They were already far from the house of Micah, when the men that were in the houses near to Micah's house were gathered together, and overtook the children of Dan. Judg. 18:22
And they cried to the children of Dan. And they turned their faces, and said to Micah, What aileth thee, that thou comest with such a company? Judg. 18:23
And he said, Ye have taken away my gods which I made, and the priest, and ye are gone away; and what have I more? and what is this that ye say to me, What aileth thee? Judg. 18:24
And the children of Dan said to him, Let not thy voice be heard among us, lest men of exasperated spirit run upon you, and thou lose thy life and the lives of thy household. Judg. 18:25
And the children of Dan went their way; and Micah saw that they were too strong for him, and he turned and went back to his house. Judg. 18:26
And they took that which Micah had made, and the priest that he had had, and came upon Laish, upon a people quiet and secure; and they smote them with the edge of the sword, and burned the city with fire. Judg. 18:27
And there was no deliverer, for it was far from Zidon, and they had nothing to do with any man; and it lay in the valley that is by Beth-rehob. And they built the city and dwelt therein. Judg. 18:28
And they called the name of the city Dan, after the name of Dan their father, who was born to Israel; howbeit Laish was the name of the city at the first. Judg. 18:29
And the children of Dan set up the graven image; and Jehonathan, the son of Gershom, the son of Moses; he and his sons were priests to the tribe of Dan until the day of the captivity of the land. Judg. 18:30
And they set up for themselves Micah's graven image, which he had made, all the time that the house of God was in Shiloh. Judg. 18:31
And it came to pass in those days, when there was no king in Israel, that a certain Levite, sojourning on the further side of mount Ephraim, took him a concubine out of Bethlehem-Judah. Judg. 19:1
And his concubine played the whore against him, and went away from him to her father's house to Bethlehem-Judah, and was there some time, -- four months. Judg. 19:2
And her husband rose up and went after her, to speak kindly to her, to bring her again; and his servant was with him, and a couple of asses. And she brought him into her father's house; and when the father of the damsel saw him he rejoiced to meet him. Judg. 19:3
And his father-in-law, the damsel's father, retained him, and he abode with him three days; and they ate and drank, and lodged there. Judg. 19:4
And it came to pass on the fourth day, that they arose early in the morning, and he rose up to depart; and the damsel's father said to his son-in-law, Refresh thy heart with a morsel of bread, and afterwards ye may go your way. Judg. 19:5
And they sat down, and ate and drank, both of them together. And the damsel's father said to the man, Be content, I pray thee, and pass the night, and let thy heart be glad. Judg. 19:6
And the man rose up to depart, but his father-in-law urged him, and he lodged there again. Judg. 19:7
And he arose early in the morning on the fifth day to depart; but the damsel's father said, Refresh thy heart, I pray thee. And they lingered until the afternoon, and they did eat both of them. Judg. 19:8
And the man rose up to depart, he, and his concubine, and his servant; and his father-in-law, the damsel's father, said to him, Behold now, the day draws toward evening -- I pray you stay all night; behold, the day is declining, lodge here, and let thy heart be merry; and to-morrow get you early on your way, that thou mayest go to thy tent. Judg. 19:9
But the man would not tarry the night; and he rose up and departed, and came opposite to Jebus, that is, Jerusalem; and there were with him two asses saddled, and his concubine was with him. Judg. 19:10
They were near Jebus, and the day was far spent; and the servant said to his master, Come, I pray thee, and let us turn aside into this city of the Jebusites, and lodge in it. Judg. 19:11
But his master said to him, We will not turn aside into the city of a stranger, which is not of the children of Israel, but we will pass on to Gibeah. Judg. 19:12
And they passed on and went their way; and the sun went down upon them when they were by Gibeah, which belongs to Benjamin. Judg. 19:14
And they turned aside thither, to go in, to lodge in Gibeah. And he went in, and sat down in the open place of the city; and there was no one that received him into his house to pass the night. Judg. 19:15
And behold, there came an old man from his work out of the field at even; and the man was of mount Ephraim, and he sojourned in Gibeah; but the men of the place were Benjaminites. Judg. 19:16
And he lifted up his eyes, and saw the wayfaring man in the open place of the city; and the old man said, Whither goest thou? and whence comest thou? Judg. 19:17
And he said to him, We are travelling from Bethlehem-Judah towards the further side of mount Ephraim; from thence am I; and I went to Bethlehem-Judah, and I have to do with the house of Jehovah; and there is no man that receives me into his house. Judg. 19:18
And we have both straw and provender for our asses; and I have bread and wine also for me, and for thy handmaid, and for the young man with thy servants: there is no lack of anything. Judg. 19:19
Then the old man said, Peace be with thee; only let all thy wants lie on me; but lodge not in the street. Judg. 19:20
And he brought him into his house, and gave the asses provender; and they washed their feet, and ate and drank. Judg. 19:21
They were making their hearts merry, when behold, the men of the city, sons of Belial, surrounded the house, beating at the door; and they spoke to the master of the house, the old man, saying, Bring forth the man that came into thy house, that we may know him. Judg. 19:22
And the man, the master of the house, went out to them, and said to them, No, my brethren, I pray you, do not wickedly; seeing that this man is come into my house, do not this villany. Judg. 19:23
But the men would not hearken to him; and the man took his concubine, and brought her forth to them; and they knew her, and abused her all the night until the morning; and let her go when the morning-dawn arose. Judg. 19:25
And the woman came at the dawning of the day, and fell down at the entrance of the man's house where her lord was, till it was light. Judg. 19:26
And her lord rose up in the morning, and opened the door of the house, and went out to go his way, and behold, there lay the woman his concubine at the entrance of the house, and her hands were upon the threshold. Judg. 19:27
And he said to her, Up, and let us go; but no one answered. And he took her upon the ass; and the man rose up, and went to his place. Judg. 19:28
And when he was come into his house, he took the knife, and laid hold on his concubine, and divided her, according to her bones, into twelve pieces, and sent her into all the borders of Israel. Judg. 19:29
And it came to pass that every one that saw it said, There was no such deed done nor seen from the day that the children of Israel came out of Egypt to this day. Think it over, advise, and speak. Judg. 19:30
And all the children of Israel went forth, and the assembly gathered together as one man, from Dan to Beer-sheba, and the land of Gilead, unto Jehovah at Mizpah. Judg. 20:1
And the heads of all the people, of all the tribes of Israel, presented themselves in the congregation of the people of God, four hundred thousand footmen that drew sword. Judg. 20:2
And the children of Benjamin heard that the children of Israel had gone up to Mizpah. And the children of Israel said, Tell us, how was this wickedness? Judg. 20:3
Then the Levite, the husband of the woman that was murdered, answered and said, I came to Gibeah that belongs to Benjamin, I and my concubine, to lodge. Judg. 20:4
And the citizens of Gibeah rose against me, and surrounded the house because of me, by night; they thought to slay me, and my concubine have they humbled so that she died. Judg. 20:5
Then I took my concubine, and cut her in pieces, and sent her throughout the country of the inheritance of Israel; for they have committed lewdness and villany in Israel. Judg. 20:6
And all the people rose up as one man, saying, We will not any one go to his tent, neither will we any one turn into his house. Judg. 20:8
But now this is the thing which we will do to Gibeah: we go by lot against it; Judg. 20:9
and we will take ten men of a hundred throughout all the tribes of Israel, and a hundred of a thousand, and a thousand of ten thousand, to fetch victuals for the people, that they may do, when they come to Gibeah of Benjamin, according to all the villany that they have wrought in Israel. Judg. 20:10
And all the men of Israel were gathered against the city, knit together as one man. Judg. 20:11
And the tribes of Israel sent men to all the families of Benjamin, saying, What wickedness is this that has been done among you? Judg. 20:12
And now give up the men, the sons of Belial, who are in Gibeah, that we may put them to death, and put away evil from Israel. But the children of Benjamin would not hearken to the voice of their brethren the children of Israel. Judg. 20:13
And the children of Benjamin gathered themselves together out of the cities of Gibeah, to go out to battle against the children of Israel. Judg. 20:14
And the children of Benjamin were numbered at that time out of the cities, twenty-six thousand men that drew sword, besides the inhabitants of Gibeah, who were numbered seven hundred chosen men. Judg. 20:15
And the men of Israel, besides Benjamin, were numbered four hundred thousand men that drew sword: all these were men of war. Judg. 20:17
And the children of Israel arose and went up to Bethel, and inquired of God, and said, Which of us shall go up first to the battle against the children of Benjamin? And Jehovah said, Judah first. Judg. 20:18
And the children of Israel rose up in the morning and encamped against Gibeah. Judg. 20:19
And the men of Israel went out to battle against Benjamin; and the men of Israel put themselves in array to fight against them at Gibeah. Judg. 20:20
And the children of Benjamin went forth out of Gibeah, and destroyed to the ground of the Israelites that day twenty-two thousand men. Judg. 20:21
And the people, the men of Israel, took courage, and set the battle again in array in the place where they put themselves in array the first day. Judg. 20:22
And the children of Israel went up and wept before Jehovah until even, and inquired of Jehovah, saying, Shall I go up again to battle against the children of Benjamin my brother? And Jehovah said, Go up against him. Judg. 20:23
And the children of Israel came near against the children of Benjamin the second day. Judg. 20:24
And Benjamin went forth against them out of Gibeah the second day, and again destroyed to the ground of the children of Israel eighteen thousand men: all these drew the sword. Judg. 20:25
Then all the children of Israel, and all the people, went up and came to Bethel, and wept, and abode there before Jehovah, and fasted that day until even, and offered up burnt-offerings and peace-offerings before Jehovah. Judg. 20:26
And the children of Israel inquired of Jehovah (and the ark of the covenant of God was there in those days, Judg. 20:27
and Phinehas, the son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron, stood before it in those days), saying, Shall I yet again go out to battle against the children of Benjamin my brother, or shall I cease? And Jehovah said, Go up; for to-morrow I will give them into thy hand. Judg. 20:28
And the children of Israel went up against the children of Benjamin on the third day, and put themselves in array against Gibeah, as at the other times. Judg. 20:30
And the children of Benjamin went out against the people, and were drawn away from the city, and began to smite of the people, slaying as at the former times, in the highways, of which one leads to Bethel and the other to Gibeah in the field, about thirty men of Israel. Judg. 20:31
And the children of Benjamin said, They are smitten down before us, as at the first. And the children of Israel said, Let us flee, that we may draw them from the city to the highways. Judg. 20:32
And all the men of Israel rose up out of their place, and put themselves in array at Baal-Tamar; and the ambush of Israel rushed forth out of their place, out of the meadows of Geba. Judg. 20:33
And there came from opposite Gibeah ten thousand chosen men out of all Israel, and the battle was severe; but they knew not that disaster was coming upon them. Judg. 20:34
And Jehovah smote Benjamin before Israel; and the children of Israel destroyed of the Benjaminites that day twenty-five thousand one hundred men: all these drew the sword. Judg. 20:35
And the children of Benjamin saw that they were smitten. -- And the men of Israel gave place to Benjamin, because they trusted to the ambush that they had set against Gibeah. Judg. 20:36
And the ambush hasted, and fell upon Gibeah; and the ambush drew along, and smote the whole city with the edge of the sword. Judg. 20:37
Now there was an appointed sign between the men of Israel and the ambush, that they should make a thick column of smoke rise up out of the city. Judg. 20:38
And when the men of Israel turned back in the battle, Benjamin began to smite, slaying of the men of Israel about thirty men; for they said, Surely they are quite routed before us as in the first battle. Judg. 20:39
And when the burning began to rise up out of the city as a pillar of smoke, Benjamin looked behind, and behold, the whole city ascended in smoke to the heavens. Judg. 20:40
Then the men of Israel turned back, and the men of Benjamin were amazed, for they saw that disaster was come upon them. Judg. 20:41
And they turned before the men of Israel to the way of the wilderness; but the battle overtook them; and those who came out of the cities destroyed them in their midst. Judg. 20:42
They encompassed the Benjaminites, chased them, trode them down at the resting-place over against Gibeah toward the sun-rising. Judg. 20:43
And they turned and fled towards the wilderness to the cliff of Rimmon, and they gleaned of them in the highways five thousand men; and pursued hard after them to Gidom, and slew two thousand men of them. Judg. 20:45
So that all who fell that day of Benjamin were twenty-five thousand men that drew the sword: all these, men of valour. Judg. 20:46
And six hundred men turned and fled to the wilderness to the cliff of Rimmon, and abode at the cliff of Rimmon four months. Judg. 20:47
And the men of Israel turned again upon the children of Benjamin, and smote them with the edge of the sword, as well the men of every city as the cattle, and all that was found; even all the cities that were found did they set on fire. Judg. 20:48
Now the men of Israel had sworn in Mizpah, saying, There shall not any of us give his daughter to the Benjaminites as wife. Judg. 21:1
And the people came to Bethel, and abode there till even before God, and lifted up their voices and wept bitterly, Judg. 21:2
And it came to pass on the morrow, that the people rose early, and built there an altar, and offered up burnt-offerings and peace-offerings. Judg. 21:4
And the children of Israel said, Who is there among all the tribes of Israel that came not up with the congregation to Jehovah? For they had made a great oath concerning him that came not up to Jehovah to Mizpah, saying, He shall certainly be put to death. Judg. 21:5
And the children of Israel repented them for Benjamin their brother, and said, To-day is one tribe extirpated from Israel. Judg. 21:6
And they said, What one is there of the tribes of Israel that came not up to Mizpah to Jehovah? And behold, there came none to the camp from Jabesh-Gilead, to the congregation; Judg. 21:8
for the people were numbered, and behold, there were none of the inhabitants of Jabesh-Gilead there. Judg. 21:9
And the assembly sent thither twelve thousand men of the most valiant and commanded them, saying, Go and smite the inhabitants of Jabesh-Gilead with the edge of the sword, and the women and the children. Judg. 21:10
And this is the thing which ye shall do: ye shall utterly destroy every male, and every woman that hath lain with man. Judg. 21:11
And they found among the inhabitants of Jabesh-Gilead four hundred young women that were virgins, who had known no man by lying with any male, and they brought them to the camp, to Shiloh, which is in the land of Canaan. Judg. 21:12
And the whole assembly sent to speak to the children of Benjamin that were at the cliff of Rimmon, and to proclaim peace to them. Judg. 21:13
And Benjamin came again at that time; and they gave them the wives whom they had saved alive of the women of Jabesh-Gilead; but even so they found not enough for them. Judg. 21:14
And the people repented them for Benjamin, because Jehovah had made a breach in the tribes of Israel. Judg. 21:15
And the elders of the assembly said, What shall we do for wives for them that remain? for the women have been destroyed out of Benjamin. Judg. 21:16
But we cannot give them wives of our daughters, for the children of Israel have sworn, saying, Cursed be he that giveth a wife to the Benjaminites! Judg. 21:18
And they said, Behold, there is a feast of Jehovah from year to year in Shiloh, which is on the north side of Bethel, toward the sun-rising of the highway that goes up from Bethel to Shechem, and on the south of Lebonah. Judg. 21:19
And they commanded the sons of Benjamin, saying, Go and lie in wait in the vineyards; Judg. 21:20
and see, and behold, if the daughters of Shiloh come out to dance in the dances, then come out of the vineyards, and catch you every man his wife of the daughters of Shiloh, and go to the land of Benjamin. Judg. 21:21
And it shall be, when their fathers or their brethren come to complain to us, that we will say to them, Gratify us with them, because we did not take each man his wife in the war; for ye did not give them to them, that ye should now be guilty. Judg. 21:22
And the children of Benjamin did so, and took wives, according to their number, of them that danced, whom they caught; and they went and returned to their inheritance, and built the cities, and dwelt in them. Judg. 21:23
And the children of Israel departed thence at that time, every man to his tribe and to his family, and they went out from thence every man to his inheritance. Judg. 21:24
And it came to pass in the days when the judges ruled, that there was a famine in the land. And a certain man went from Bethlehem-Judah, to sojourn in the country of Moab, he, and his wife, and his two sons. Ruth 1:1
And the name of the man was Elimelech, and the name of his wife Naomi, and the name of his two sons Mahlon and Chilion, Ephrathites of Bethlehem-Judah. And they came into the country of Moab, and continued there. Ruth 1:2
And they took them Moabitish wives; the name of the one was Orpah, and the name of the second Ruth: and they abode there about ten years. Ruth 1:4
And Mahlon and Chilion died also, both of them; and the woman was left of her two children and of her husband. Ruth 1:5
And she arose, she and her daughters-in-law, and returned from the fields of Moab; for she had heard in the fields of Moab how that Jehovah had visited his people to give them bread. Ruth 1:6
Wherefore she went forth out of the place where she had been, and her two daughters-in-law with her; and they went on the way to return to the land of Judah. Ruth 1:7
And Naomi said to her two daughters-in-law, Go, return each to her mother's house. Jehovah deal kindly with you, as ye have dealt with the dead and with me. Ruth 1:8
Jehovah grant you that ye may find rest, each in the house of her husband. And she kissed them; and they lifted up their voice and wept. Ruth 1:9
would ye wait on that account till they were grown? Would ye stay on that account from having husbands? No, my daughters, for I am in much more bitterness than you; for the hand of Jehovah is gone out against me. Ruth 1:13
And they two went until they came to Bethlehem. And it came to pass, when they came to Bethlehem, that all the city was moved about them, and the women said, Is this Naomi? Ruth 1:19
And she said to them, Call me not Naomi -- call me Mara; for the Almighty has dealt very bitterly with me. Ruth 1:20
I went out full, and Jehovah has brought me home again empty. Why do ye call me Naomi, seeing Jehovah has brought me low, and the Almighty has afflicted me? Ruth 1:21
So Naomi returned, and Ruth the Moabitess, her daughter-in-law, with her, who returned out of the fields of Moab; and they came to Bethlehem in the beginning of the barley-harvest. Ruth 1:22
And Naomi had a relation of her husband's, a mighty man of wealth, of the family of Elimelech, and his name was Boaz. Ruth 2:1
And Ruth the Moabitess said to Naomi, Let me, I pray, go to the field and glean among the ears of corn after him in whose sight I shall find favour. And she said to her, Go, my daughter. Ruth 2:2
And she went; and she came and gleaned in the fields after the reapers; and she chanced to light on an allotment of Boaz, who was of the family of Elimelech. Ruth 2:3
And behold, Boaz came from Bethlehem; and he said to the reapers, Jehovah be with you! And they said to him, Jehovah bless thee! Ruth 2:4
And Boaz said to his servant that was set over the reapers, Whose maiden is this? Ruth 2:5
And the servant that was set over the reapers answered and said, It is the Moabitish maiden who came back with Naomi out of the fields of Moab; Ruth 2:6
and she said, I pray you, let me glean and gather among the sheaves after the reapers. And she came, and has continued from the morning until now: her sitting in the house has been little as yet. Ruth 2:7
Let thine eyes be on the field which is being reaped, and go thou after them; have I not charged the young men not to touch thee? And when thou art athirst, go to the vessels and drink of what the young men draw. Ruth 2:9
Then she fell on her face, and bowed herself to the ground, and said to him, Why have I found favour in thine eyes, that thou shouldest regard me, seeing I am a foreigner? Ruth 2:10
And Boaz answered and said to her, It has fully been shewn me, all that thou hast done to thy mother-in-law since the death of thy husband; and how thou hast left thy father and thy mother, and the land of thy nativity, and art come to a people that thou hast not known heretofore. Ruth 2:11
Jehovah recompense thy work, and let thy reward be full from Jehovah the God of Israel, under whose wings thou art come to take refuge. Ruth 2:12
And Boaz said to her at mealtime, Come hither and eat of the bread, and dip thy morsel in the vinegar. And she sat beside the reapers; and he reached her parched corn, and she ate and was sufficed, and reserved some. Ruth 2:14
And when she rose up to glean, Boaz commanded his young men, saying, Let her glean even among the sheaves, and ye shall not reproach her. Ruth 2:15
And ye shall also sometimes draw out for her some ears out of the handfuls, and leave them that she may glean, and rebuke her not. Ruth 2:16
And she gleaned in the field until even, and beat out what she had gleaned; and it was about an ephah of barley. Ruth 2:17
And she took it up, and came into the city, and her mother-in-law saw what she had gleaned; and she brought forth and gave to her that which she had reserved after she was sufficed. Ruth 2:18
And her mother-in-law said to her, Where hast thou gleaned to-day? and where hast thou wrought? Blessed be he that did regard thee! And she told her mother-in-law with whom she had wrought, and said, The man's name with whom I wrought to-day is Boaz. Ruth 2:19
And Naomi said to her daughter-in-law, Blessed be he of Jehovah, who has not left off his kindness to the living and to the dead! And Naomi said to her, The man is near of kin to us, one of those who have the right of our redemption. Ruth 2:20
And Ruth the Moabitess said, He said to me also, Thou shalt keep with my young men until they have ended all my harvest. Ruth 2:21
So she kept with the maidens of Boaz to glean, until the end of the barley-harvest and of the wheat-harvest. And she dwelt with her mother-in-law. Ruth 2:23
And now, is not Boaz of our kindred, with whose maidens thou wast? Behold, he is winnowing barley in the threshing-floor to-night. Ruth 3:2
Wash thyself therefore, and anoint thyself, and put thy raiment upon thee, and go down to the floor; make not thyself known to the man, until he shall have done eating and drinking. Ruth 3:3
And it shall be, when he lies down, that thou shalt mark the place where he shall have lain down, and thou shalt go in, and uncover his feet, and lay thyself down; and he will shew thee what thou shalt do. Ruth 3:4
And she went down to the floor, and did according to all that her mother-in-law had bidden her. Ruth 3:6
And Boaz ate and drank, and his heart was merry, and he went to lie down at the end of the heap of corn. Then she went softly, and uncovered his feet, and laid herself down. Ruth 3:7
And it came to pass at midnight, that the man was startled, and turned himself; and behold, a woman lay at his feet. Ruth 3:8
And he said, Who art thou? And she answered, I am Ruth, thy handmaid: spread thy skirt over thy handmaid; for thou hast the right of redemption. Ruth 3:9
And he said, Blessed be thou of Jehovah, my daughter! Thou hast shewn more kindness at the end than at the first, inasmuch as thou followedst not young men, whether poor or rich. Ruth 3:10
And now, my daughter, fear not: all that thou sayest will I do to thee; for all the gate of my people knows that thou art a woman of worth. Ruth 3:11
And now, truly I am one that has the right of redemption, yet there is one that has the right of redemption who is nearer than I. Ruth 3:12
Stay over to-night, and it shall be in the morning, if he will redeem thee, well -- let him redeem; but if he like not to redeem thee, then will I redeem thee, as Jehovah liveth. Lie down until the morning. Ruth 3:13
And she lay at his feet until the morning; and she rose up before one could know another. And he said, Let it not be known that a woman came into the threshing-floor. Ruth 3:14
And he said, Bring the cloak that thou hast upon thee, and hold it. And she held it, and he measured six measures of barley, and laid it on her; and he went into the city. Ruth 3:15
And she came to her mother-in-law; and she said, Who art thou, my daughter? And she told her all that the man had done to her. Ruth 3:16
Then she said, Be still, my daughter, until thou know how the matter will fall; for the man will not rest until he have completed the matter this day. Ruth 3:18
And Boaz went up to the gate, and sat down there. And behold, he that had the right of redemption, of whom Boaz had spoken, came by. And he said, Thou, such a one, turn aside, sit down here. And he turned aside and sat down. Ruth 4:1
And he took ten men of the elders of the city, and said, Sit down here. And they sat down. Ruth 4:2
And he said to him that had the right of redemption: Naomi, who is come back out of the country of Moab, sells the allotment that was our brother Elimelech's. Ruth 4:3
And I thought I would apprise thee of it and say, Buy it in the presence of the inhabitants, and in the presence of the elders of my people. If thou wilt redeem it, redeem; but if thou wilt not redeem, tell me, that I may know; for there is none to redeem besides thee; and I am after thee. And he said, I will redeem it. Ruth 4:4
And Boaz said, On the day thou buyest the field of the hand of Naomi, thou must buy it also of Ruth the Moabitess, the wife of the dead, to raise up the name of the dead upon his inheritance. Ruth 4:5
And he that had the right of redemption said, I cannot redeem it for myself, lest I mar mine own inheritance. Redeem thou for thyself what I should redeem, for I cannot redeem it. Ruth 4:6
Now this was the custom in former time in Israel concerning redemption and concerning exchange, to confirm the whole matter: a man drew off his sandal, and gave it to his neighbour, and this was the mode of attestation in Israel. Ruth 4:7
And he that had the right of redemption said to Boaz, Buy for thyself; and he drew off his sandal. Ruth 4:8
And Boaz said to the elders and all the people, Ye are witnesses this day, that I have bought all that was Elimelech's, and all that was Chilion's and Mahlon's, of the hand of Naomi; Ruth 4:9
moreover Ruth the Moabitess, the wife of Mahlon, have I purchased to be my wife, to raise up the name of the dead upon his inheritance, that the name of the dead be not cut off from among his brethren and from the gate of his place: ye are witnesses this day. Ruth 4:10
And all the people that were in the gate and the elders said, We are witnesses. Jehovah make the woman that cometh into thy house like Rachel and like Leah, which two did build the house of Israel; and acquire power in Ephratah, and make thyself a name in Bethlehem; Ruth 4:11
and let thy house become like the house of Pherez, whom Tamar bore to Judah, of the seed which Jehovah shall give thee of this young woman. Ruth 4:12
And the women said to Naomi, Blessed be Jehovah who hath not left thee this day without one that has the right of redemption, and may his name be famous in Israel! Ruth 4:14
And Naomi took the child, and laid it in her bosom, and became nurse to it. Ruth 4:16
And the women her neighbours gave it a name, saying, There is a son born to Naomi. And they called his name Obed. He is the father of Jesse, the father of David. Ruth 4:17
Now these are the generations of Pherez. Pherez begot Hezron, Ruth 4:18
And there was a certain man of Ramathaim-zophim, of mount Ephraim, and his name was Elkanah, the son of Jeroham, the son of Elihu, the son of Tohu, the son of Zuph, an Ephrathite. 1 Sam. 1:1
And he had two wives: the name of the one was Hannah, and the name of the other Peninnah; and Peninnah had children, but Hannah had no children. 1 Sam. 1:2
And this man went up out of his city from year to year to worship and to sacrifice to Jehovah of hosts in Shiloh. And the two sons of Eli, Hophni and Phinehas, the priests of Jehovah, were there. 1 Sam. 1:3
And it came to pass on the day that Elkanah sacrificed, he gave to Peninnah his wife and to all her sons and her daughters portions; 1 Sam. 1:4
And as he did so year by year, as often as she went up to the house of Jehovah, she provoked her thus; and she wept and did not eat. 1 Sam. 1:7
And Hannah rose up after they had eaten in Shiloh, and after they had drunk; (now Eli the priest sat upon the seat by the door-post of the temple of Jehovah;) 1 Sam. 1:9
And she vowed a vow, and said, O Jehovah of hosts, if thou wilt indeed look on the affliction of thy handmaid, and remember me, and not forget thy handmaid, but wilt give unto thy handmaid a man child, then I will give him to Jehovah all the days of his life, and there shall no razor come upon his head. 1 Sam. 1:11
Take not thy handmaid for a daughter of Belial: for out of the abundance of my grief and provocation have I spoken hitherto. 1 Sam. 1:16
And Eli answered and said, Go in peace; and the God of Israel grant thee thy petition which thou hast asked of him. 1 Sam. 1:17
And she said, Let thy bondwoman find grace in thy sight. And the woman went her way, and did eat, and her countenance was no more as before. 1 Sam. 1:18
And they rose up early in the morning and worshipped before Jehovah, and returned and came to their house at Ramah. And Elkanah knew Hannah his wife; and Jehovah remembered her. 1 Sam. 1:19
And it came to pass when the time was come about after Hannah had conceived, that she bore a son, and called his name Samuel, saying, Because I have asked him of Jehovah. 1 Sam. 1:20
And Elkanah her husband, and all his house, went up to sacrifice to Jehovah the yearly sacrifice and his vow. 1 Sam. 1:21
But Hannah did not go up, for she said to her husband, I will wait until the child is weaned; then will I bring him, that he may appear before Jehovah, and there abide for ever. 1 Sam. 1:22
And Elkanah her husband said to her, Do what is good in thy sight: abide until thou hast weaned him; only, may Jehovah fulfil his word. And the woman abode, and gave her son suck until she weaned him. 1 Sam. 1:23
And she took him up with her when she had weaned him, with three bullocks, and one ephah of flour, and a flask of wine, and brought him to the house of Jehovah to Shiloh; and the boy was young. 1 Sam. 1:24
And they slaughtered the bullock, and brought the boy to Eli. 1 Sam. 1:25
And she said, Oh my lord, as thy soul liveth, my lord, I am the woman that stood by thee here to pray to Jehovah. 1 Sam. 1:26
And also I have lent him to Jehovah: all the days that he lives, he is lent to Jehovah. And he worshipped Jehovah there. 1 Sam. 1:28
The bow of the mighty is broken, and they that stumbled are girded with strength. 1 Sam. 2:4
They that were full have hired themselves out for bread; and the hungry are so no more: Even the barren beareth seven, and she that hath many children is waxed feeble. 1 Sam. 2:5
He raiseth up the poor out of the dust; from the dung-hill he lifteth up the needy, To set him among nobles; and he maketh them inherit a throne of glory; For the pillars of the earth are Jehovah's, and he hath set the world upon them. 1 Sam. 2:8
He keepeth the feet of his saints, but the wicked are silenced in darkness; for by strength shall no man prevail. 1 Sam. 2:9
They that strive with Jehovah shall be broken to pieces; in the heavens will he thunder upon them. Jehovah will judge the ends of the earth; and he will give strength unto his king, and exalt the horn of his anointed. 1 Sam. 2:10
And Elkanah went to Ramah to his house. And the boy ministered to Jehovah in the presence of Eli the priest. 1 Sam. 2:11
Now the sons of Eli were sons of Belial; they knew not Jehovah. 1 Sam. 2:12
And the priests' custom with the people was, when any man sacrificed a sacrifice, the priest's servant came, when the flesh was cooked, with a flesh-hook of three prongs in his hand; 1 Sam. 2:13
and he struck it into the pan, or kettle, or cauldron, or pot; the priest took of it all that the flesh-hook brought up. So they did in Shiloh to all the Israelites that came there. 1 Sam. 2:14
Even before they burned the fat, the priest's servant came, and said to the man that sacrificed, Give flesh to roast for the priest, and he will not accept sodden flesh of thee, but raw. 1 Sam. 2:15
If the man said to him, They will immediately burn the fat entire, then take as thy soul desires; he would say to him, No, but thou shalt give it now; and if not, I will take it by force. 1 Sam. 2:16
And the sin of the young men was very great before Jehovah, for men despised the offering of Jehovah. 1 Sam. 2:17
And his mother made him a little coat, and brought it to him from year to year, when she came up with her husband to sacrifice the yearly sacrifice. 1 Sam. 2:19
And Eli blessed Elkanah and his wife, and said, Jehovah give thee seed of this woman for the loan which is lent to Jehovah. And they went to their own home. 1 Sam. 2:20
So Jehovah visited Hannah, and she conceived, and bore three sons and two daughters. And the boy Samuel grew before Jehovah. 1 Sam. 2:21
And Eli was very old, and heard all that his sons were doing to all Israel, and that they lay with the women that served at the entrance of the tent of meeting. 1 Sam. 2:22
If one man sin against another, God will judge him; but if a man sin against Jehovah, who shall intreat for him? But they hearkened not to the voice of their father, for Jehovah was minded to slay them. 1 Sam. 2:25
And the boy Samuel grew on, and was in favour both with Jehovah and also with men. 1 Sam. 2:26
And there came a man of God to Eli and said to him, Thus saith Jehovah: Did I plainly reveal myself to the house of thy father when they were in Egypt, in Pharaoh's house, 1 Sam. 2:27
and choose him out of all the tribes of Israel, to be my priest, to offer upon mine altar, to burn incense, to wear the ephod before me? and I gave unto the house of thy father all the offerings by fire of the children of Israel. 1 Sam. 2:28
Wherefore do ye trample upon my sacrifice and upon mine oblation which I have commanded in my habitation? And thou honourest thy sons above me, to make yourselves fat with the primest of all the oblations of Israel my people. 1 Sam. 2:29
Wherefore Jehovah the God of Israel saith, I said indeed, Thy house and the house of thy father should walk before me for ever. But now Jehovah saith, Be it far from me; for them that honour me I will honour, and they that despise me shall be lightly esteemed. 1 Sam. 2:30
Behold, days come, that I will cut off thine arm, and the arm of thy father's house, that there shall not be an old man in thy house. 1 Sam. 2:31
And thou shalt see an oppressor in my habitation, amidst all the good that shall be done to Israel; and there shall not be an old man in thy house for ever. 1 Sam. 2:32
And the man of thine whom I shall not cut off from mine altar, shall be to cause thine eyes to fail and to grieve thy soul; and all the increase of thy house shall die in their vigour. 1 Sam. 2:33
And this shall be the sign to thee, which shall come upon thy two sons, upon Hophni and Phinehas: in one day they shall die, both of them. 1 Sam. 2:34
And it shall come to pass that every one that is left of thy house shall come to crouch to him for a small piece of silver and for a cake of bread, and shall say, Put me, I pray thee, into one of the priestly offices, that I may eat a morsel of bread. 1 Sam. 2:36
And the boy Samuel ministered to Jehovah before Eli. And the word of Jehovah was rare in those days; a vision was not frequent. 1 Sam. 3:1
and the lamp of God had not yet gone out, and Samuel lay in the temple of Jehovah, where the ark of God was, 1 Sam. 3:3
Now Samuel did not yet know Jehovah, neither had the word of Jehovah yet been revealed to him. 1 Sam. 3:7
And Jehovah called again the third time, Samuel! And he arose and went to Eli, and said, Here am I; for thou calledst me. And Eli perceived that Jehovah was calling the boy. 1 Sam. 3:8
And Jehovah came, and stood, and called as at the other times, Samuel, Samuel! And Samuel said, Speak, for thy servant heareth. 1 Sam. 3:10
And Jehovah said to Samuel, Behold, I do a thing in Israel, at which both the ears of every one that heareth it shall tingle. 1 Sam. 3:11
For I have declared to him that I will judge his house for ever, for the iniquity which he hath known: because his sons made themselves vile, and he restrained them not. 1 Sam. 3:13
And therefore I have sworn unto the house of Eli that the iniquity of Eli's house shall not be expiated with sacrifice or oblation for ever. 1 Sam. 3:14
And Samuel lay until the morning, and opened the doors of the house of Jehovah. And Samuel feared to declare the vision to Eli. 1 Sam. 3:15
And he said, What is the word that he has spoken to thee? I pray thee, keep it not back from me: God do so to thee, and more also, if thou keep back anything from me of all the word that he spoke to thee. 1 Sam. 3:17
And Samuel told him all the words, and kept nothing back from him. And he said, It is Jehovah: let him do what is good in his sight. 1 Sam. 3:18
And Samuel grew, and Jehovah was with him, and let none of his words fall to the ground. 1 Sam. 3:19
And Jehovah appeared again at Shiloh; for Jehovah revealed himself to Samuel at Shiloh by the word of Jehovah. 1 Sam. 3:21
And what Samuel had said happened to all Israel. And Israel went out against the Philistines to battle, and encamped beside Eben-ezer; and the Philistines encamped in Aphek. 1 Sam. 4:1
And the Philistines put themselves in array against Israel; and the battle spread, and Israel was routed before the Philistines; and they slew in battle array in the field about four thousand men. 1 Sam. 4:2
And the people came into the camp; and the elders of Israel said, Why has Jehovah smitten us to-day before the Philistines? Let us fetch ourselves the ark of the covenant of Jehovah out of Shiloh, that it may come among us, and save us out of the hand of our enemies. 1 Sam. 4:3
So the people sent to Shiloh, and they brought from thence the ark of the covenant of Jehovah of hosts, who sitteth between the cherubim; and the two sons of Eli, Hophni and Phinehas, were there by the ark of the covenant of God. 1 Sam. 4:4
And it came to pass when the ark of the covenant of Jehovah came into the camp, that all Israel shouted with a great shout, so that the earth shook. 1 Sam. 4:5
And the Philistines heard the noise of the shout, and said, What is the noise of this great shout in the camp of the Hebrews? And they understood that the ark of Jehovah had come into the camp. 1 Sam. 4:6
And the Philistines were afraid, for they said, God is come into the camp. And they said, Woe unto us! for there has not been such a thing heretofore. 1 Sam. 4:7
Woe unto us! who shall deliver us out of the hand of these mighty gods? these are the gods that smote the Egyptians with every plague in the wilderness. 1 Sam. 4:8
Shew yourselves valiant and be men, ye Philistines, that ye may not have to be servants to the Hebrews, as they have been servants to you: be men, and fight. 1 Sam. 4:9
And the Philistines fought, and Israel was routed, and they fled every man to his tent; and there was a very great slaughter, and there fell of Israel thirty thousand footmen. 1 Sam. 4:10
And the ark of God was taken; and the two sons of Eli, Hophni and Phinehas, died. 1 Sam. 4:11
And there ran a man of Benjamin out of the battle, and came to Shiloh the same day, with his clothes rent and with earth upon his head. 1 Sam. 4:12
And when he came, behold, Eli was sitting upon the seat by the way-side watching; for his heart trembled for the ark of God. And the man came to tell it in the city, and all the city cried out. 1 Sam. 4:13
And Eli heard the noise of the crying, and said, What is the noise of this tumult? And the man came hastily, and told Eli. 1 Sam. 4:14
And the man said to Eli, I am he that came out of the battle, and I have fled to-day out of the battle. And he said, What has taken place, my son? 1 Sam. 4:16
And the messenger answered and said, Israel has fled before the Philistines, and there has been also a great slaughter among the people, and thy two sons also, Hophni and Phinehas, are dead, and the ark of God is taken. 1 Sam. 4:17
And it came to pass, when he mentioned the ark of God, that he fell from off the seat backward by the side of the gate, and his neck broke, and he died; for the man was old, and heavy. And he had judged Israel forty years. 1 Sam. 4:18
And his daughter-in-law, Phinehas' wife, was with child, near to be delivered; and when she heard the tidings that the ark of God was taken, and that her father-in-law and her husband were dead, she bowed herself and travailed; for her pains came upon her. 1 Sam. 4:19
And as she was dying, the women that stood by her said, Fear not; for thou hast borne a son. But she did not answer, neither did she take it to heart. 1 Sam. 4:20
And she named the child Ichabod, saying, The glory is departed from Israel; because the ark of God was taken, and because of her father-in-law and her husband. 1 Sam. 4:21
And she said, The glory is departed from Israel, for the ark of God is taken. 1 Sam. 4:22
And the Philistines took the ark of God, and brought it from Eben-ezer to Ashdod. 1 Sam. 5:1
And the Philistines took the ark of God and brought it into the house of Dagon, and set it by Dagon. 1 Sam. 5:2
And when they of Ashdod arose early the next day, behold, Dagon had fallen on his face to the ground before the ark of Jehovah. And they took Dagon, and set him in his place again. 1 Sam. 5:3
And when they arose early the next morning, behold, Dagon had fallen on his face to the ground before the ark of Jehovah; and the head of Dagon and both the palms of his hands were cut off upon the threshold; only the fish-stump was left to him. 1 Sam. 5:4
Therefore neither the priests of Dagon nor any that come into Dagon's house tread on the threshold of Dagon in Ashdod to this day. 1 Sam. 5:5
And the hand of Jehovah was heavy upon them of Ashdod, and he laid them waste, and smote them with hemorrhoids, -- Ashdod and its borders. 1 Sam. 5:6
And when the men of Ashdod saw that it was so, they said, The ark of the God of Israel shall not abide with us; for his hand is severe upon us, and upon Dagon our god. 1 Sam. 5:7
And they sent and gathered all the lords of the Philistines unto them, and said, What shall we do with the ark of the God of Israel? And they said, Let the ark of the God of Israel be carried about to Gath. And they carried the ark of the God of Israel about thither. 1 Sam. 5:8
And it came to pass that, after they had carried it about, the hand of Jehovah was against the city with very great panic; and he smote the men of the city, both small and great, and hemorrhoids broke out upon them. 1 Sam. 5:9
And they sent the ark of God to Ekron. And it came to pass, when the ark of God came to Ekron, that the Ekronites cried out, saying, They have brought about the ark of the God of Israel to us, to kill us and our people. 1 Sam. 5:10
And they sent and gathered all the lords of the Philistines, and said, Send away the ark of the God of Israel, and let it go again to its own place, that it kill us not, and our people. For there was deadly alarm throughout the city: the hand of God was very heavy there; 1 Sam. 5:11
and the men that died not were smitten with the hemorrhoids; and the cry of the city went up to heaven. 1 Sam. 5:12
And the ark of Jehovah was in the country of the Philistines seven months. 1 Sam. 6:1
And the Philistines called for the priests and the diviners, saying, What shall we do with the ark of Jehovah? tell us wherewith we shall send it to its place. 1 Sam. 6:2
And they said, If ye send away the ark of the God of Israel, send it not empty; ye must at any rate return him a trespass-offering: then ye shall be healed, and it shall be known to you why his hand is not removed from you. 1 Sam. 6:3
Then they said, What is the trespass-offering which we shall return to him? And they said, Five golden hemorrhoids, and five golden mice, the number of the lords of the Philistines; for one plague is upon them all, and upon your lords. 1 Sam. 6:4
And ye shall make images of your hemorrhoids, and images of your mice that destroy the land, and give glory to the God of Israel: perhaps he will lighten his hand from off you, and from off your gods, and from off your land. 1 Sam. 6:5
And why will ye harden your heart, as the Egyptians and Pharaoh hardened their heart? When he had wrought mightily among them, did they not let them go, and they departed? 1 Sam. 6:6
And now make a new cart, and take two milch kine, on which there has come no yoke, and tie the kine to the cart, and bring their calves home from them; 1 Sam. 6:7
and take the ark of Jehovah, and lay it upon the cart, and the golden jewels, which ye return him as a trespass-offering, put in the coffer by the side thereof; and send it away that it may go. 1 Sam. 6:8
And see, if it go up by the way of its own border to Beth-shemesh, it is he who has done us this great evil; if not, then we shall know that it is not his hand that touched us; it was a chance that happened to us. 1 Sam. 6:9
And the men did so, and took two milch kine, and tied them to the cart, and shut up their calves at home. 1 Sam. 6:10
And they laid the ark of Jehovah upon the cart, and the coffer with the golden mice and the images of their sores. 1 Sam. 6:11
And the kine went straight forward on the way to Beth-shemesh; they went by the one high way, lowing as they went; and they turned not aside to the right hand or to the left; and the lords of the Philistines went after them as far as the border of Beth-shemesh. 1 Sam. 6:12
And they of Beth-shemesh were reaping the wheat-harvest in the valley; and they lifted up their eyes and saw the ark, and rejoiced to see it. 1 Sam. 6:13
And the cart came into the field of Joshua the Beth-shemeshite, and stood there; and a great stone was there. And they clave the wood of the cart, and offered up the kine as a burnt-offering to Jehovah. 1 Sam. 6:14
And the Levites took down the ark of Jehovah, and the coffer that was with it, in which were the golden jewels, and put them on the great stone; and the men of Beth-shemesh offered up burnt-offerings and sacrificed sacrifices the same day to Jehovah. 1 Sam. 6:15
And the five lords of the Philistines saw it, and returned to Ekron the same day. 1 Sam. 6:16
And these are the golden sores which the Philistines returned as a trespass-offering to Jehovah: for Ashdod one, for Gazah one, for Ashkelon one, for Gath one, for Ekron one; 1 Sam. 6:17
and the golden mice, according to the number of all the cities of the Philistines belonging to the five lords, both fortified cities and villages of the peasantry; and they brought them as far as the great stone of Abel, whereon they set down the ark of Jehovah, which is to this day in the field of Joshua the Beth-shemeshite. 1 Sam. 6:18
And he smote among the men of Beth-shemesh, because they had looked into the ark of Jehovah, and smote of the people seventy men; and the people lamented, because Jehovah had smitten the people with a great slaughter. 1 Sam. 6:19
And the men of Beth-shemesh said, Who is able to stand before Jehovah, this holy God? and to whom shall he go up from us? 1 Sam. 6:20
And they sent messengers to the inhabitants of Kirjath-jearim, saying, The Philistines have brought again the ark of Jehovah; come down, fetch it up to you. 1 Sam. 6:21
And the men of Kirjath-jearim came, and fetched up the ark of Jehovah, and brought it into the house of Abinadab on the hill, and hallowed Eleazar his son to keep the ark of Jehovah. 1 Sam. 7:1
And it came to pass, from the day that the ark abode in Kirjath-jearim, that the time was long; for it was twenty years. And all the house of Israel lamented after Jehovah. 1 Sam. 7:2
And Samuel spoke to all the house of Israel, saying, If ye return to Jehovah with all your heart, put away the strange gods and the Ashtoreths from among you, and apply your hearts unto Jehovah, and serve him only; and he will deliver you out of the hand of the Philistines. 1 Sam. 7:3
And the children of Israel put away the Baals and the Ashtoreths and served Jehovah only. 1 Sam. 7:4
And they gathered together to Mizpah, and drew water, and poured it out before Jehovah, and fasted on that day, and said there, We have sinned against Jehovah. And Samuel judged the children of Israel in Mizpah. 1 Sam. 7:6
And the Philistines heard that the children of Israel were gathered together at Mizpah; and the lords of the Philistines went up against Israel; and the children of Israel heard it, and were afraid of the Philistines. 1 Sam. 7:7
And the children of Israel said to Samuel, Cease not to cry to Jehovah our God for us, that he will save us out of the hand of the Philistines. 1 Sam. 7:8
And as Samuel was offering up the burnt-offering, the Philistines advanced to battle against Israel. And Jehovah thundered with a great thunder on that day upon the Philistines, and discomfited them; and they were routed before Israel. 1 Sam. 7:10
And the men of Israel went out of Mizpah, and pursued the Philistines, and smote them, as far as below Beth-car. 1 Sam. 7:11
And Samuel took a stone and set it between Mizpah and Shen, and called the name of it Eben-ezer, and said, Hitherto Jehovah has helped us. 1 Sam. 7:12
And the Philistines were subdued, and came no more into the borders of Israel; and the hand of Jehovah was against the Philistines all the days of Samuel. 1 Sam. 7:13
And the cities that the Philistines had taken from Israel were restored to Israel, from Ekron even to Gath; and their territory did Israel deliver out of the hand of the Philistines. And there was peace between Israel and the Amorite. 1 Sam. 7:14
And Samuel judged Israel all the days of his life. 1 Sam. 7:15
And the name of his firstborn was Joel; and the name of his second, Abijah; they judged in Beer-sheba. 1 Sam. 8:2
Then all the elders of Israel gathered themselves together, and came to Samuel to Ramah, 1 Sam. 8:4
and said to him, Behold, thou art become old, and thy sons walk not in thy ways: now appoint us a king to judge us, like all the nations. 1 Sam. 8:5
And the thing displeased Samuel, when they said, Give us a king to judge us. And Samuel prayed to Jehovah. 1 Sam. 8:6
And Jehovah said to Samuel, Hearken unto the voice of the people in all that they say unto thee: for they have not rejected thee, but they have rejected me, that I should not reign over them. 1 Sam. 8:7
According to all the deeds that they have done since the day that I brought them up out of Egypt even unto this day, in that they have forsaken me and served other gods, so do they also unto thee. 1 Sam. 8:8
And now hearken unto their voice; only, testify solemnly unto them, and declare unto them the manner of the king that shall reign over them. 1 Sam. 8:9
And Samuel spoke all the words of Jehovah to the people that asked of him a king. 1 Sam. 8:10
And he said, This will be the manner of the king that shall reign over you: he will take your sons, and appoint them for himself, on his chariot and among his horsemen, and they shall run before his chariots; 1 Sam. 8:11
And your fields, and your vineyards, and your oliveyards, the best, will he take and give to his servants. 1 Sam. 8:14
And he will take the tenth of your seed and of your vineyards, and give to his chamberlains and to his servants. 1 Sam. 8:15
He will take the tenth of your sheep. And ye shall be his servants. 1 Sam. 8:17
And the people refused to hearken to the voice of Samuel; and they said, No, but there shall be a king over us, 1 Sam. 8:19
that we also may be like all the nations; and our king shall judge us, and go out before us, and conduct our wars. 1 Sam. 8:20
And Samuel heard all the words of the people, and he repeated them in the ears of Jehovah. 1 Sam. 8:21
And Jehovah said to Samuel, Hearken unto their voice, and make them a king. And Samuel said to the men of Israel, Go ye every man to his city. 1 Sam. 8:22
And there was a man of Benjamin whose name was Kish, the son of Abiel, the son of Zeror, the son of Bechorath, the son of Aphiah, the son of a Benjaminite, a mighty man of wealth. 1 Sam. 9:1
And he had a son whose name was Saul, choice and comely; and there was not among the children of Israel a comelier person than he; from his shoulders and upward he was higher than any of the people. 1 Sam. 9:2
And the asses of Kish Saul's father were lost; and Kish said to Saul his son, Take, I pray, one of the young men with thee, and arise, go seek the asses. 1 Sam. 9:3
And he passed through mount Ephraim, and passed through the land of Shalishah, but they found them not; and they passed through the land of Shaalim, and they were not there; and they passed through the land of Benjamin, and they found them not. 1 Sam. 9:4
They had come to the land of Zuph when Saul said to his servant that was with him, Come and let us return; lest my father give up the asses, and be anxious about us. 1 Sam. 9:5
And he said to him, Behold now, a man of God is in this city, and the man is held in honour; all that he says comes surely to pass. Let us now go thither: perhaps he will shew us the way that we should go. 1 Sam. 9:6
And Saul said to his servant, But if we go, what shall we bring the man? for the bread is spent in our vessels, and we have no present to give to the man of God: what have we? 1 Sam. 9:7
And the servant answered Saul again and said, Behold, I have here at hand the fourth part of a shekel of silver; that will I give to the man of God, to tell us our way. 1 Sam. 9:8
(In former time in Israel, when a man went to ask counsel of God, he said, Come and let us go to the seer; for he that is now called a Prophet was in former time called a Seer.) 1 Sam. 9:9
And Saul said to his servant, Well said: come, let us go. So they went to the city where the man of God was. 1 Sam. 9:10
As they went up the ascent to the city, they met maidens going forth to draw water; and they said to them, Is the seer here? 1 Sam. 9:11
And they answered them and said, He is; behold, he is before thee: make haste now, for he came to-day to the city; for the people have a sacrifice to-day in the high place. 1 Sam. 9:12
As soon as ye come into the city, ye shall straightway find him, before he goes up to the high place to eat; for the people eat not until he has come, because he blesses the sacrifice; afterwards they eat that are invited. And now go up; for this very day shall ye find him. 1 Sam. 9:13
And they went up into the city. As they were coming into the midst of the city, behold, Samuel was coming out towards them, to go up to the high place. 1 Sam. 9:14
To-morrow about this time I will send thee a man out of the land of Benjamin, and thou shalt anoint him prince over my people Israel; and he will save my people out of the hand of the Philistines; for I have looked upon my people, because their cry is come unto me. 1 Sam. 9:16
And as Samuel saw Saul, Jehovah answered him, Behold the man of whom I spoke to thee! this man shall rule over my people. 1 Sam. 9:17
And Saul drew near to Samuel in the midst of the gate, and said, Tell me, I pray thee, where the seer's house is. 1 Sam. 9:18
And Samuel answered Saul and said, I am the seer: go up before me to the high place, and ye shall eat with me to-day; and to-morrow I will let thee go, and will tell thee all that is in thy heart. 1 Sam. 9:19
And as for the asses that thou didst lose three days ago, set not thy heart on them; for they are found. And on whom is all the desire of Israel set? Is it not on thee, and on all thy father's house? 1 Sam. 9:20
And Saul answered and said, Am not I a Benjaminite, of the smallest of the tribes of Israel, and my family the least of all the families of the tribe of Benjamin? and why dost thou speak such words to me? 1 Sam. 9:21
And Samuel took Saul and his servant, and brought them into the chamber, and gave them a place at the head of them that were invited; and they were about thirty persons. 1 Sam. 9:22
And Samuel said to the cook, Bring the portion that I gave thee, of which I said to thee, Set it by thee. 1 Sam. 9:23
And the cook took up the shoulder, and what was on it, and set it before Saul. And he said, Behold that which has been reserved! set it before thee, eat; for against the set time has it been kept for thee, since I said, I will invite the people. So Saul ate with Samuel that day. 1 Sam. 9:24
And they came down from the high place into the city, and he spoke with Saul upon the roof. 1 Sam. 9:25
And they arose early; and when it was about the dawning of the day, Samuel called to Saul on the roof, saying, Arise, that I may send thee away. And Saul arose, and they went out both of them, he and Samuel, into the street. 1 Sam. 9:26
As they were going down to the end of the city, Samuel said to Saul, Tell the servant to pass on before us (and he passed on), but stand thou still now, that I may cause thee to hear the word of God. 1 Sam. 9:27
Then Samuel took the vial of oil, and poured it upon his head, and kissed him, and said, Is it not because Jehovah has anointed thee prince over his inheritance? 1 Sam. 10:1
When thou goest from me to-day, thou shalt meet two men by Rachel's sepulchre in the border of Benjamin at Zelzah; and they will say to thee, The asses are found which thou wentest to seek, and behold, thy father has dismissed the matter of the asses, and is anxious about you, saying, What shall I do for my son? 1 Sam. 10:2
And thou shalt go on forward from thence, and shalt come to the oak of Tabor, and there shall meet thee three men going up to God, to Bethel, one carrying three kids, and another carrying three cakes of bread, and another carrying a flask of wine. 1 Sam. 10:3
After that thou shalt come to the hill of God, where are the outposts of the Philistines; and it shall come to pass, when thou comest thither, into the city, that thou shalt meet a company of prophets coming down from the high place with lute and tambour and pipe and harp before them; and they themselves prophesying. 1 Sam. 10:5
And the Spirit of Jehovah will come upon thee, and thou shalt prophesy with them, and shalt be turned into another man. 1 Sam. 10:6
And when they came thither to the hill, behold, a company of prophets met him; and the Spirit of God came upon him, and he prophesied among them. 1 Sam. 10:10
And it came to pass, when all that knew him before saw that, behold, he prophesied among the prophets, then the people said one to another, What is this that has happened to the son of Kish? Is Saul also among the prophets? 1 Sam. 10:11
And a man of that place answered and said, But who is their father? Therefore it became a proverb, Is Saul also among the prophets? 1 Sam. 10:12
And when he had ended prophesying, he came to the high place. 1 Sam. 10:13
And Saul's uncle said to him and to his servant, Whither went ye? And he said, To seek the asses; and when we saw that they were nowhere, we went to Samuel. 1 Sam. 10:14
And Saul said to his uncle, He told us for certain that the asses were found. But of the matter of the kingdom, of which Samuel had spoken, he told him not. 1 Sam. 10:16
And Samuel called the people together to Jehovah to Mizpah. 1 Sam. 10:17
And he said to the children of Israel, Thus saith Jehovah, the God of Israel, *I* brought up Israel out of Egypt, and delivered you out of the hand of the Egyptians, and out of the hand of all the kingdoms that oppressed you; 1 Sam. 10:18
And Samuel caused all the tribes of Israel to come near, and the tribe of Benjamin was taken. 1 Sam. 10:20
And he caused the tribe of Benjamin to come near by their families, and the family of Matri was taken; and Saul the son of Kish was taken. And they sought him, but he was not to be found. 1 Sam. 10:21
Therefore they inquired of Jehovah further, Will the man yet come hither? And Jehovah answered, Behold, he hath hid himself among the baggage. 1 Sam. 10:22
And they ran and fetched him thence; and when he stood among the people, he was higher than any of the people from his shoulders and upward. 1 Sam. 10:23
And Samuel said to all the people, See ye him whom Jehovah has chosen, that there is none like him among all the people? And all the people shouted and said, May the king live. 1 Sam. 10:24
And Samuel told the people the right of the kingdom, and wrote it in the book, and laid it before Jehovah. And Samuel sent all the people away, every man to his house. 1 Sam. 10:25
And Saul also went home to Gibeah; and with him went the band, whose hearts God had touched. 1 Sam. 10:26
But the children of Belial said, How should this man save us? And they despised him, and brought him no gifts. But he was as one deaf. 1 Sam. 10:27
And Nahash the Ammonite came up and encamped against Jabesh-Gilead. And all the men of Jabesh said to Nahash, Make a covenant with us, and we will serve thee. 1 Sam. 11:1
And Nahash the Ammonite said to them, On this condition will I treat with you, that I thrust out all your right eyes, and lay it for a reproach upon all Israel. 1 Sam. 11:2
And the elders of Jabesh said to him, Allow us seven days, and we will send messengers into all the districts of Israel; and if there be no man to deliver us, we will come out to thee. 1 Sam. 11:3
And the messengers came to Gibeah of Saul and told these words in the ears of the people. And all the people lifted up their voice and wept. 1 Sam. 11:4
And behold, Saul came after the oxen from the field; and Saul said, What aileth the people that they weep? And they related to him the words of the men of Jabesh. 1 Sam. 11:5
And the Spirit of God came upon Saul when he heard those words, and his anger was kindled greatly. 1 Sam. 11:6
And he took a yoke of oxen and cut them in pieces, and sent throughout the territory of Israel by the hand of messengers, saying, Whoever comes not forth after Saul and after Samuel, so shall it be done to his oxen! And the fear of Jehovah fell on the people, and they came out as one man. 1 Sam. 11:7
And he numbered them in Bezek, and the children of Israel were three hundred thousand, and the men of Judah thirty thousand. 1 Sam. 11:8
And they said to the messengers that had come, Thus shall ye say to the men of Jabesh-Gilead: To-morrow ye shall have deliverance when the sun is hot. And the messengers came and informed the men of Jabesh-Gilead; and they were glad. 1 Sam. 11:9
And the men of Jabesh said, To-morrow we will come out to you, and ye may do with us according to all that is good in your sight. 1 Sam. 11:10
And it came to pass the next day that Saul set the people in three companies; and they came into the midst of the camp in the morning watch, and smote Ammon until the heat of the day: and it came to pass that they who remained were scattered, and not two of them were left together. 1 Sam. 11:11
And the people said to Samuel, Who is he that said, Shall Saul reign over us? bring the men, that we may put them to death. 1 Sam. 11:12
And Samuel said to the people, Come and let us go to Gilgal, and renew the kingdom there. 1 Sam. 11:14
And all the people went to Gilgal; and there they made Saul king before Jehovah in Gilgal; and there they sacrificed peace-offerings before Jehovah. And there Saul and all the men of Israel rejoiced exceedingly. 1 Sam. 11:15
And now behold, the king walks before you; and I am old and grey-headed; and behold, my sons are with you; and I have walked before you from my youth up to this day. 1 Sam. 12:2
And he said to them, Jehovah is witness against you, and his anointed is witness this day, that ye have not found aught in my hand! And the people said, He is witness! 1 Sam. 12:5
And Samuel said to the people, It is Jehovah who appointed Moses and Aaron, and who brought your fathers up out of the land of Egypt. 1 Sam. 12:6
And now stand still, that I may plead with you before Jehovah of all the righteous acts of Jehovah which he did to you and to your fathers. 1 Sam. 12:7
And they forgot Jehovah their God, and he sold them into the hand of Sisera, captain of the host of Hazor, and into the hand of the Philistines, and into the hand of the king of Moab, and they fought against them. 1 Sam. 12:9
And they cried to Jehovah and said, We have sinned, because we have forsaken Jehovah, and have served the Baals and the Ashtoreths; and now deliver us out of the hand of our enemies, and we will serve thee. 1 Sam. 12:10
And Jehovah sent Jerubbaal and Bedan and Jephthah and Samuel, and delivered you out of the hand of your enemies round about, so that ye dwelt in safety. 1 Sam. 12:11
But when ye saw that Nahash the king of the children of Ammon came against you, ye said to me, Nay, but a king shall reign over us; when Jehovah your God was your king. 1 Sam. 12:12
And now behold, the king whom ye have chosen, whom ye have asked for! and behold, Jehovah has set a king over you. 1 Sam. 12:13
If ye fear Jehovah, and serve him, and hearken to his voice, and rebel not against the commandment of Jehovah, then both ye and the king also that reigns over you shall continue following Jehovah your God. 1 Sam. 12:14
But if ye will not hearken to the voice of Jehovah, and if ye rebel against the commandment of Jehovah, then will the hand of Jehovah be against you, as against your fathers. 1 Sam. 12:15
Is it not wheat-harvest to-day? I will call unto Jehovah, and he will send thunder and rain; and ye shall perceive and see that your wickedness is great which ye have done in the sight of Jehovah in asking for yourselves a king. 1 Sam. 12:17
And Samuel called to Jehovah; and Jehovah sent thunder and rain that day. And all the people greatly feared Jehovah and Samuel. 1 Sam. 12:18
And all the people said to Samuel, Pray to Jehovah thy God for thy servants, that we die not; for we have added to all our sins the wickedness to ask for ourselves a king. 1 Sam. 12:19
And Samuel said to the people, Fear not: *ye* have done all this wickedness; yet turn not aside from following Jehovah, and serve Jehovah with all your heart; 1 Sam. 12:20
Moreover, as for me, far be it from me that I should sin against Jehovah in ceasing to pray for you; and I will teach you the good and right way. 1 Sam. 12:23
And Saul chose him three thousand men out of Israel: there were with Saul two thousand in Michmash and in mount Bethel, and a thousand were with Jonathan in Gibeah of Benjamin; and the rest of the people he sent every man to his tent. 1 Sam. 13:2
And Jonathan smote the outpost of the Philistines that was in Geba, and the Philistines heard of it. And Saul blew the trumpet throughout the land, saying, Let the Hebrews hear. 1 Sam. 13:3
And all Israel heard say, Saul has smitten the garrison of the Philistines, and Israel also has become odious to the Philistines. And the people were called together after Saul to Gilgal. 1 Sam. 13:4
And the Philistines were assembled together to fight with Israel, thirty thousand chariots, and six thousand horsemen, and people as the sand which is on the sea-shore in multitude; and they came up, and encamped in Michmash, eastward from Beth-Aven. 1 Sam. 13:5
And the men of Israel saw that they were in a strait (for the people were distressed); and the people hid themselves in caves, and in thickets, and in cliffs, and in strongholds, and in pits. 1 Sam. 13:6
And the Hebrews went over the Jordan into the land of Gad and Gilead. And Saul was yet in Gilgal, and all the people followed him trembling. 1 Sam. 13:7
And he waited seven days, according to the set time that Samuel had appointed; but Samuel did not come to Gilgal; and the people were scattered from him. 1 Sam. 13:8
And Saul said, Bring hither to me the burnt-offering and the peace-offerings. And he offered up the burnt-offering. 1 Sam. 13:9
And it came to pass, as soon as he had ended offering up the burnt-offering, behold, Samuel came; and Saul went out to meet him, that he might salute him. 1 Sam. 13:10
And Samuel said, What hast thou done? And Saul said, Because I saw that the people were scattered from me, and that thou didst not come within the days appointed, and that the Philistines were assembled at Michmash, 1 Sam. 13:11
I said, The Philistines will come down now upon me to Gilgal, and I have not made supplication to Jehovah; and I forced myself, and offered up the burnt-offering. 1 Sam. 13:12
And Samuel said to Saul, Thou hast done foolishly: thou hast not kept the commandment of Jehovah thy God which he commanded thee; for now would Jehovah have established thy kingdom over Israel for ever. 1 Sam. 13:13
And Samuel arose and went up from Gilgal to Gibeah of Benjamin. And Saul numbered the people that were found with him, about six hundred men. 1 Sam. 13:15
And Saul, and Jonathan his son, and the people that were found with them, abode in Geba of Benjamin; and the Philistines encamped in Michmash. 1 Sam. 13:16
And the ravagers came out of the camp of the Philistines in three companies: one company turned the way of Ophrah, into the land of Shual; 1 Sam. 13:17
and another company turned the way to Beth-horon; and the other company turned the way to the district that looks over the ravine of Zeboim toward the wilderness. 1 Sam. 13:18
Now there was no smith found throughout the land of Israel; for the Philistines said, Lest the Hebrews make them swords or spears. 1 Sam. 13:19
And all Israel went down to the Philistines, every man to get his ploughshare, and his hoe, and his axe, and his sickle sharpened, 1 Sam. 13:20
when the edges of the sickles, and the hoes, and the forks, and the axes were blunted; and to set the goads. 1 Sam. 13:21
And it came to pass in the day of battle, that there was neither sword nor spear found in the hand of any of the people that were with Saul and Jonathan; but with Saul and with Jonathan his son there was found. 1 Sam. 13:22
And a garrison of the Philistines went out to the passage of Michmash. 1 Sam. 13:23
Now it came to pass one day that Jonathan the son of Saul said to the young man that bore his armour, Come and let us go over to the Philistines' garrison which is on the other side. But he did not tell his father. 1 Sam. 14:1
And Saul abode at the extreme end of Gibeah under the pomegranate-tree which was in Migron; and the people that were with him were about six hundred men. 1 Sam. 14:2
(And Ahijah the son of Ahitub, Ichabod's brother, the son of Phinehas, the son of Eli, Jehovah's priest in Shiloh, wore the ephod.) And the people did not know that Jonathan was gone. 1 Sam. 14:3
Now between the passes by which Jonathan sought to go over to the Philistines' garrison there was a sharp rock on the one side and a sharp rock on the other side; and the name of the one was Bozez, and the name of the other Seneh. 1 Sam. 14:4
The one crag formed a pillar on the north opposite to Michmash, and the other on the south opposite to Geba. 1 Sam. 14:5
And Jonathan said to the young man that bore his armour, Come, and let us go over to the garrison of these uncircumcised: perhaps Jehovah will work for us; for there is no restraint to Jehovah to save by many or by few. 1 Sam. 14:6
Then said Jonathan, Behold, we will pass over to the men, and we will shew ourselves to them. 1 Sam. 14:8
And if they say thus, Come up to us, then we will go up; for Jehovah has given them into our hand; and this shall be the sign to us. 1 Sam. 14:10
And both of them shewed themselves to the garrison of the Philistines; and the Philistines said, Behold, the Hebrews come forth out of the holes where they had hid themselves. 1 Sam. 14:11
And the men of the garrison answered Jonathan and his armour-bearer and said, Come up to us, and we will shew you something. And Jonathan said to his armour-bearer, Come up after me; for Jehovah has delivered them into the hand of Israel. 1 Sam. 14:12
And that first slaughter which Jonathan and his armour-bearer wrought was about twenty men, as it were on the half-furrow of an acre of land. 1 Sam. 14:14
And there was trembling in the camp, in the field, and among all the people; the garrison, and the ravagers, they also trembled, and the earth quaked; for it was a trembling from God. 1 Sam. 14:15
And the watchmen of Saul in Gibeah of Benjamin looked, and behold, the multitude melted away, and they went on slaying one another. 1 Sam. 14:16
Then said Saul to the people that were with him, Muster now, and see who is gone from us. And they mustered, and behold, Jonathan and his armour-bearer were not there. 1 Sam. 14:17
And Saul said to Ahijah, Bring hither the ark of God. For the ark of God was at that time with the children of Israel. 1 Sam. 14:18
And it came to pass while Saul talked to the priest, that the noise which was in the camp of the Philistines went on and increased; and Saul said to the priest, Withdraw thy hand. 1 Sam. 14:19
And Saul and all the people that were with him were called together, and they came to the battle; and behold, every man's sword was against his fellow, a very great confusion. 1 Sam. 14:20
And there were Hebrews with the Philistines before that time, who had gone up with them into the camp round about; and they also turned to be with the Israelites who were with Saul and Jonathan. 1 Sam. 14:21
And all the men of Israel who had hid themselves in mount Ephraim heard that the Philistines fled, and they also followed hard after them in the battle. 1 Sam. 14:22
And Jehovah saved Israel that day; and the battle passed over beyond Beth-Aven. 1 Sam. 14:23
But the men of Israel were distressed that day. Now Saul had adjured the people, saying, Cursed be the man that eateth food until evening, and until I am avenged on mine enemies. So none of the people tasted food. 1 Sam. 14:24
And all they of the land came to a wood; and there was honey on the ground. 1 Sam. 14:25
And the people had come into the wood, and behold, the honey flowed; but no man put his hand to his mouth, for the people feared the oath. 1 Sam. 14:26
But Jonathan had not heard when his father adjured the people; and he put forth the end of his staff which was in his hand, and dipped it in the honeycomb, and put his hand to his mouth, and his eyes became bright. 1 Sam. 14:27
Then answered one of the people and said, Thy father strictly adjured the people, saying, Cursed be the man that eateth food this day; and the people are faint. 1 Sam. 14:28
And Jonathan said, My father has troubled the land: see, I pray you, that mine eyes are bright, because I tasted a little of this honey. 1 Sam. 14:29
How much more, if the people had eaten freely to-day of the spoil of their enemies which they found? for would there not now have been a much greater slaughter among the Philistines? 1 Sam. 14:30
And they smote the Philistines that day from Michmash to Ajalon; and the people were very faint. 1 Sam. 14:31
And the people fell on the spoil, and took sheep, and oxen, and calves, and slaughtered them on the ground; and the people ate them with the blood. 1 Sam. 14:32
And they told Saul, saying, Behold, the people sin against Jehovah, in that they eat with the blood. And he said, Ye have acted perversely: roll me now a great stone. 1 Sam. 14:33
And Saul said, Disperse yourselves among the people, and say to them, Bring near to me every man his ox, and every man his sheep, and slaughter them here, and eat; and sin not against Jehovah in eating with the blood. And all the people brought every man his ox with him that night, and slaughtered them there. 1 Sam. 14:34
And Saul built an altar to Jehovah: this was the first altar he built to Jehovah. 1 Sam. 14:35
And Saul said, Let us go down after the Philistines by night, and plunder them until the morning light, and let us not leave a man of them. And they said, Do whatsoever is good in thy sight. Then said the priest, Let us come near hither to God. 1 Sam. 14:36
And Saul inquired of God, Shall I go down after the Philistines? wilt thou give them into the hand of Israel? But he did not answer him that day. 1 Sam. 14:37
And Saul said, Draw ye near hither, all the heads of the people; and know and see wherein this sin has been this day. 1 Sam. 14:38
For, as Jehovah liveth, who has saved Israel, though it be in Jonathan my son, he shall certainly die. And no one answered him among all the people. 1 Sam. 14:39
Then said he to all Israel, Be ye on one side, and I and Jonathan my son will be on the other side. And the people said to Saul, Do what is good in thy sight. 1 Sam. 14:40
And Saul said to Jehovah the God of Israel, Give a perfect testimony! And Jonathan and Saul were taken, and the people escaped. 1 Sam. 14:41
And Saul said to Jonathan, Tell me what thou hast done. And Jonathan told him and said, With the end of the staff which is in my hand I tasted a little honey, and behold, I must die! 1 Sam. 14:43
And the people said to Saul, Shall Jonathan die, who has wrought this great salvation in Israel? Far be it! as Jehovah liveth, there shall not a hair of his head fall to the ground; for he has wrought with God this day. So the people delivered Jonathan, that he died not. 1 Sam. 14:45
And Saul went up from following the Philistines; and the Philistines went to their own place. 1 Sam. 14:46
And Saul took the kingdom over Israel, and fought against all his enemies round about, against Moab, and against the children of Ammon, and against Edom, and against the kings of Zobah, and against the Philistines; and whithersoever he turned himself, he discomfited them. 1 Sam. 14:47
And he did valiantly, and smote the Amalekites, and delivered Israel out of the hands of their spoilers. 1 Sam. 14:48
And the sons of Saul were Jonathan, and Jishvi, and Malchi-shua. And the names of his two daughters: the name of the firstborn Merab, and the name of the younger Michal. 1 Sam. 14:49
And the name of Saul's wife was Ahinoam, the daughter of Ahimaaz; and the name of the captain of his host was Abner, the son of Ner, Saul's uncle. 1 Sam. 14:50
And Kish the father of Saul, and Ner the father of Abner were sons of Abiel. 1 Sam. 14:51
And there was sore war against the Philistines all the days of Saul; and when Saul saw any mighty man, or any valiant man, he took him to himself. 1 Sam. 14:52
And Samuel said to Saul, Jehovah sent *me* to anoint thee king over his people, over Israel: now therefore hearken to the voice of the words of Jehovah. 1 Sam. 15:1
Thus saith Jehovah of hosts: I have considered what Amalek did to Israel, how he set himself against him in the way, when he came up from Egypt. 1 Sam. 15:2
And Saul summoned the people, and numbered them in Telaim, two hundred thousand footmen, and ten thousand men of Judah. 1 Sam. 15:4
And Saul came to the city of the Amalekites, and set an ambush in the valley. 1 Sam. 15:5
And Saul said to the Kenites, Go, depart, and go down from among the Amalekites, lest I destroy you with them; for ye shewed kindness to all the children of Israel when they came up out of Egypt. And the Kenites departed from among the Amalekites. 1 Sam. 15:6
And he took Agag the king of Amalek alive, and utterly destroyed all the people with the edge of the sword. 1 Sam. 15:8
And Saul and the people spared Agag, and the best of the sheep and oxen, and beasts of the second bearing, and the lambs, and all that was good, and would not devote them to destruction; but everything that was mean and weak, that they destroyed utterly. 1 Sam. 15:9
And the word of Jehovah came to Samuel, saying, 1 Sam. 15:10
And Samuel rose early to meet Saul in the morning. And it was told Samuel, saying, Saul came to Carmel, and behold, he set him up a monument, and has turned about, and passed on, and gone down to Gilgal. 1 Sam. 15:12
And Samuel came to Saul; and Saul said to him, Blessed art thou of Jehovah: I have fulfilled the word of Jehovah. 1 Sam. 15:13
And Samuel said, What means then this bleating of sheep in mine ears, and the lowing of oxen which I hear? 1 Sam. 15:14
And Saul said, They have brought them from the Amalekites, because the people spared the best of the sheep and of the oxen, to sacrifice to Jehovah thy God; and the rest we have utterly destroyed. 1 Sam. 15:15
And Samuel said, Was it not when thou wast little in thine eyes that thou becamest the head of the tribes of Israel, and Jehovah anointed thee king over Israel? 1 Sam. 15:17
And Jehovah sent thee on a way and said, Go and utterly destroy the sinners the Amalekites, and fight against them until they be consumed. 1 Sam. 15:18
Why then didst thou not hearken to the voice of Jehovah, but didst fall upon the spoil, and didst evil in the sight of Jehovah? 1 Sam. 15:19
And Saul said to Samuel, I have indeed hearkened to the voice of Jehovah, and have gone the way which Jehovah sent me, and have brought Agag the king of Amalek, and have utterly destroyed the Amalekites. 1 Sam. 15:20
But the people took of the spoil, sheep and oxen, the choicest of the devoted things, to sacrifice to Jehovah thy God in Gilgal. 1 Sam. 15:21
And Samuel said, Has Jehovah delight in burnt-offerings and sacrifices, As in hearkening to the voice of Jehovah? Behold, obedience is better than sacrifice, Attention than the fat of rams. 1 Sam. 15:22
For rebellion is as the sin of divination, And selfwill is as iniquity and idolatry. Because thou hast rejected the word of Jehovah, He hath also rejected thee from being king. 1 Sam. 15:23
And Saul said to Samuel, I have sinned, for I have transgressed the commandment of Jehovah, and thy words; for I feared the people, and hearkened to their voice. 1 Sam. 15:24
And Samuel said to Saul, I will not turn again with thee; for thou hast rejected the word of Jehovah, and Jehovah has rejected thee from being king over Israel. 1 Sam. 15:26
And as Samuel turned to go away, Saul laid hold upon the skirt of his mantle, and it rent. 1 Sam. 15:27
Then Samuel said to him, Jehovah has rent the kingdom of Israel from thee to-day, and has given it to thy neighbour, who is better than thou. 1 Sam. 15:28
And also the Hope of Israel will not lie nor repent; for he is not a man, that he should repent. 1 Sam. 15:29
And he said, I have sinned; honour me now, I pray thee, before the elders of my people, and before Israel, and turn again with me, that I may worship Jehovah thy God. 1 Sam. 15:30
And Samuel said, Bring ye near to me Agag the king of Amalek. And Agag came to him gaily. And Agag said, Surely the bitterness of death is past. 1 Sam. 15:32
And Samuel saw Saul no more until the day of his death; for Samuel mourned over Saul; and Jehovah repented that he had made Saul king over Israel. 1 Sam. 15:35
And Jehovah said to Samuel, How long wilt thou mourn for Saul, seeing I have rejected him from reigning over Israel? fill thy horn with oil, and go, I will send thee to Jesse the Bethlehemite; for I have provided me a king among his sons. 1 Sam. 16:1
And call Jesse to the sacrifice, and I will tell thee what thou shalt do; and thou shalt anoint unto me him whom I name unto thee. 1 Sam. 16:3
And Samuel did what Jehovah said, and came to Bethlehem. And the elders of the city came trembling to meet him, and said, Dost thou come peaceably? 1 Sam. 16:4
And he said, Peaceably: I am come to sacrifice to Jehovah. Hallow yourselves, and come with me to the sacrifice. And he hallowed Jesse and his sons, and called them to the sacrifice. 1 Sam. 16:5
But Jehovah said to Samuel, Look not on his countenance, or on the height of his stature; because I have rejected him; for it is not as man seeth; for man looketh upon the outward appearance, but Jehovah looketh upon the heart. 1 Sam. 16:7
And Samuel said to Jesse, Are these all the young men? And he said, There is yet the youngest remaining, and behold, he is feeding the sheep. And Samuel said to Jesse, Send and fetch him; for we will not sit at table till he come hither. 1 Sam. 16:11
And Samuel took the horn of oil, and anointed him in the midst of his brethren. And the Spirit of Jehovah came upon David from that day forward. And Samuel rose up, and went to Ramah. 1 Sam. 16:13
And the Spirit of Jehovah departed from Saul, and an evil spirit from Jehovah troubled him. 1 Sam. 16:14
Let our lord now speak; thy servants are before thee: they shall seek out a man, a skilful player on a harp; and it shall come to pass, when the evil spirit from God is upon thee, that he shall play with his hand, and thou shalt be well. 1 Sam. 16:16
And one of the young men answered and said, Behold, I have seen a son of Jesse the Bethlehemite, who is skilled in playing, and he is a valiant man and a man of war, and skilled in speech, and of good presence, and Jehovah is with him. 1 Sam. 16:18
Then Saul sent messengers to Jesse and said, Send me David thy son, who is with the sheep. 1 Sam. 16:19
And it came to pass, when the evil spirit from God was upon Saul, that David took the harp, and played with his hand; and Saul was refreshed, and was well, and the evil spirit departed from him. 1 Sam. 16:23
And the Philistines assembled their armies to battle, and were gathered together at Sochoh, which belongs to Judah, and encamped between Sochoh and Azekah, in Ephesdammim. 1 Sam. 17:1
And Saul and the men of Israel were gathered together, and encamped in the valley of terebinths, and set the battle in array against the Philistines. 1 Sam. 17:2
And the Philistines stood on the mountain on the one side, and Israel stood on the mountain on the other side; and the ravine was between them. 1 Sam. 17:3
And there went out a champion from the camp of the Philistines, named Goliath, of Gath, whose height was six cubits and a span. 1 Sam. 17:4
And he had a helmet of bronze upon his head, and he was clothed with a corselet of scales; and the weight of the corselet was five thousand shekels of bronze. 1 Sam. 17:5
And the shaft of his spear was like a weaver's beam; and his spear's head weighed six hundred shekels of iron; and the shield-bearer went before him. 1 Sam. 17:7
And he stood and cried to the ranks of Israel, and said to them, Why are ye come out to set your battle in array? am not I the Philistine, and ye servants of Saul? choose for yourselves a man, and let him come down to me. 1 Sam. 17:8
And the Philistine said, I have defied the ranks of Israel this day; give me a man, that we may fight together. 1 Sam. 17:10
And Saul and all Israel heard these words of the Philistine, and they were dismayed and greatly afraid. 1 Sam. 17:11
Now David was the son of that Ephrathite of Bethlehem-Judah whose name was Jesse; and he had eight sons; and the man was old in the days of Saul, advanced in years among men. 1 Sam. 17:12
And the three eldest of the sons of Jesse had gone and followed Saul to the battle; and the names of his three sons that went to the battle were Eliab the firstborn, and the second to him Abinadab, and the third Shammah. 1 Sam. 17:13
And David was the youngest; and the three eldest had followed Saul. 1 Sam. 17:14
And the Philistine drew near morning and evening, and presented himself forty days. 1 Sam. 17:16
And Jesse said to David his son, Take, I pray, for thy brethren, this ephah of parched corn and these ten loaves, and carry them quickly to the camp to thy brethren; 1 Sam. 17:17
and carry these ten cheeses to the captain of the thousand, and visit thy brethren to see how they are, and take a pledge of them. 1 Sam. 17:18
Now Saul, and they, and all the men of Israel were in the valley of terebinths, fighting against the Philistines. 1 Sam. 17:19
And David rose up early in the morning, and left the sheep with a keeper, and took his charge and went, as Jesse had commanded him. And he came to the wagon-defence; and the host which was going forth to the battle-array shouted for the fight. 1 Sam. 17:20
And Israel and the Philistines put the battle in array, rank against rank. 1 Sam. 17:21
And David left the things he was carrying in the hand of the keeper of the baggage, and ran into the ranks, and came and saluted his brethren. 1 Sam. 17:22
And as he talked with them, behold there came up the champion, the Philistine of Gath, Goliath by name, out of the ranks of the Philistines, and spoke according to the same words; and David heard them. 1 Sam. 17:23
And all the men of Israel, when they saw the man, fled from him and were greatly afraid. 1 Sam. 17:24
And the men of Israel said, Have ye seen this man that comes up? for to defy Israel is he come up: and it shall be, that the man who smites him, him will the king enrich with great riches, and will give him his daughter, and make his father's house free in Israel. 1 Sam. 17:25
And David spoke to the men that stood by him, saying, What shall be done to the man that smites this Philistine, and takes away the reproach from Israel? for who is this uncircumcised Philistine, that he should defy the armies of the living God? 1 Sam. 17:26
And the people told him after this manner, saying, So shall it be done to the man that smites him. 1 Sam. 17:27
And Eliab, his eldest brother, heard while he spoke to the men; and Eliab's anger was kindled against David, and he said, Why art thou come down? and with whom hast thou left those few sheep in the wilderness? I know thy pride and the naughtiness of thy heart; for thou art come down that thou mightest see the battle. 1 Sam. 17:28
And he turned from him to another, and spoke after the same manner; and the people answered him again after the former manner. 1 Sam. 17:30
And the words were heard which David spoke, and they rehearsed them before Saul; and he sent for him. 1 Sam. 17:31
And David said to Saul, Thy servant fed his father's sheep, and there came a lion, and also a bear, and took a lamb out of the flock. 1 Sam. 17:34
Thy servant smote both the lion and the bear; and this uncircumcised Philistine shall be as one of them, because he has defied the armies of the living God. 1 Sam. 17:36
And David said, Jehovah who delivered me out of the paw of the lion and out of the paw of the bear, he will deliver me out of the hand of this Philistine. And Saul said to David, Go, and Jehovah be with thee. 1 Sam. 17:37
And he took his staff in his hand, and chose him five smooth stones out of the brook, and put them in the shepherd's bag that he had, into the pocket; and his sling was in his hand. And he drew near to the Philistine. 1 Sam. 17:40
And the Philistine came on and approached David; and the man that bore the shield was before him. 1 Sam. 17:41
And when the Philistine looked about and saw David, he disdained him; for he was a youth, and ruddy, and besides of a beautiful countenance. 1 Sam. 17:42
And the Philistine said to David, Am I a dog, that thou comest to me with staves? And the Philistine cursed David by his gods. 1 Sam. 17:43
And the Philistine said to David, Come to me, and I will give thy flesh to the fowls of the heavens and to the beasts of the field. 1 Sam. 17:44
And David said to the Philistine, Thou comest to me with sword, and with spear, and with javelin; but I come to thee in the name of Jehovah of hosts, the God of the armies of Israel, whom thou hast defied. 1 Sam. 17:45
This day will Jehovah deliver thee up into my hand; and I will smite thee, and take thy head from thee; and I will give the carcases of the camp of the Philistines this day to the fowl of the heavens and to the wild beasts of the earth. And all the earth shall know that Israel has a God; 1 Sam. 17:46
and all this congregation shall know that Jehovah saves not with sword and spear; for the battle is Jehovah's, and he will give you into our hands. 1 Sam. 17:47
And it came to pass, when the Philistine arose, and came and advanced to meet David, that David hasted, and ran towards the ranks to meet the Philistine. 1 Sam. 17:48
And David put his hand into the bag, and took thence a stone, and slang it, and smote the Philistine in his forehead, and the stone sank into his forehead; and he fell on his face to the earth. 1 Sam. 17:49
So David overcame the Philistine with a sling and a stone, and smote the Philistine and killed him; and there was no sword in the hand of David. 1 Sam. 17:50
And David ran, and stood upon the Philistine, and took his sword, and drew it out of its sheath, and killed him completely, and cut off his head with it. And when the Philistines saw that their hero was dead, they fled. 1 Sam. 17:51
And the men of Israel and of Judah arose, and shouted, and pursued the Philistines, until thou comest to the ravine and to the gates of Ekron. And the wounded of the Philistines fell down on the way to Shaaraim, even to Gath, and to Ekron. 1 Sam. 17:52
And the children of Israel returned from chasing after the Philistines, and they pillaged their camps. 1 Sam. 17:53
And David took the head of the Philistine and brought it to Jerusalem; but he put his armour in his tent. 1 Sam. 17:54
And when Saul saw David go forth against the Philistine, he said to Abner, the captain of the host, Abner, whose son is this young man? And Abner said, As thy soul liveth, O king, I cannot tell. 1 Sam. 17:55
And the king said, Inquire thou whose son this youth is. 1 Sam. 17:56
And as David returned from the slaughter of the Philistine, Abner took him, and brought him before Saul with the head of the Philistine in his hand. 1 Sam. 17:57
And Saul said to him, Whose son art thou, young man? And David said, I am the son of thy servant Jesse the Beth-lehemite. 1 Sam. 17:58
And it came to pass, when he had ended speaking to Saul, that the soul of Jonathan was knit with the soul of David, and Jonathan loved him as his own soul. 1 Sam. 18:1
And Jonathan stripped himself of the robe that was upon him, and gave it to David, and his dress, even to his sword, and to his bow, and to his girdle. 1 Sam. 18:4
And David went forth; whithersoever Saul sent him he prospered; and Saul set him over the men of war, and he was accepted in the sight of all the people, and also in the sight of Saul's servants. 1 Sam. 18:5
And it came to pass as they came, when David returned from the slaughter of the Philistine, that the women came out of all the cities of Israel, singing and dancing, to meet king Saul, with tambours, with joy, and with triangles. 1 Sam. 18:6
And the women answered one another as they played, and said, Saul hath smitten his thousands, And David his ten thousands. 1 Sam. 18:7
And Saul was very wroth, and that saying was evil in his sight; and he said, They have ascribed to David ten thousands, but to me they have ascribed the thousands; and what is there more for him but the kingdom? 1 Sam. 18:8
And it came to pass the next day that an evil spirit from God came upon Saul, and he prophesied in the midst of the house, but David played with his hand, as on other days; and the spear was in Saul's hand. 1 Sam. 18:10
And Saul cast the spear, and thought, I will smite David and the wall. But David turned away from him twice. 1 Sam. 18:11
And Saul removed him from him, and made him his captain over a thousand; and he went out and came in before the people. 1 Sam. 18:13
And Saul said to David, Behold my eldest daughter Merab, her will I give thee to wife; only be thou valiant for me, and fight Jehovah's battles. But Saul thought, My hand shall not be upon him, but the hand of the Philistines shall be upon him. 1 Sam. 18:17
And David said to Saul, Who am I? and what is my life, or my father's family in Israel, that I should be son-in-law to the king? 1 Sam. 18:18
And it came to pass at the time when Merab Saul's daughter should have been given to David, that she was given to Adriel the Meholathite as wife. 1 Sam. 18:19
And Michal Saul's daughter loved David; and they told Saul, and the thing was right in his sight. 1 Sam. 18:20
And Saul said, I will give him her, that she may be a snare to him, and that the hand of the Philistines may be upon him. And Saul said to David, Thou shalt this day be my son-in-law a second time. 1 Sam. 18:21
And Saul commanded his servants, Speak with David secretly, saying, Behold, the king has delight in thee, and all his servants love thee: now therefore be the king's son-in-law. 1 Sam. 18:22
And Saul's servants spoke those words in the ears of David. And David said, Is it a light thing in your eyes to be the king's son-in-law, seeing that I am a poor man, and lightly esteemed? 1 Sam. 18:23
And the servants of Saul told him, saying, On this manner did David speak. 1 Sam. 18:24
And Saul said, Thus shall ye say to David: The king does not desire any dowry, but a hundred foreskins of the Philistines, to be avenged of the king's enemies. But Saul thought to make David fall by the hand of the Philistines. 1 Sam. 18:25
And his servants told David these words; and the thing was right in David's sight to be the king's son-in-law. And the days were not expired, 1 Sam. 18:26
when David arose and went, he and his men, and smote of the Philistines two hundred men; and David brought their foreskins, and they delivered them in full to the king, that he might be the king's son-in-law. And Saul gave him Michal his daughter as wife. 1 Sam. 18:27
And Saul was yet the more afraid of David; and Saul was David's enemy continually. 1 Sam. 18:29
And the princes of the Philistines went forth; and it came to pass, whenever they went forth, that David succeeded better than all the servants of Saul; and his name was much esteemed. 1 Sam. 18:30
But Jonathan Saul's son delighted much in David. And Jonathan told David, saying, Saul my father seeks to kill thee; and now, I pray thee, take heed to thyself in the morning, and abide in a secret place and hide thyself; 1 Sam. 19:2
and I will go out and stand beside my father in the field where thou art, and will speak of thee with my father: and see what it is, and tell thee. 1 Sam. 19:3
And Jonathan spoke good of David to Saul his father, and said to him, Let not the king sin against his servant, against David, because he has not sinned against thee; for also what he did was very advantageous to thee; 1 Sam. 19:4
for he put his life in hand, and smote the Philistine, and Jehovah wrought a great salvation for all Israel: thou didst see it, and didst rejoice; why then wilt thou sin against innocent blood, in slaying David without cause? 1 Sam. 19:5
And Saul hearkened to the voice of Jonathan, and Saul swore, As Jehovah liveth, he shall not be put to death! 1 Sam. 19:6
And there was war again; and David went forth and fought with the Philistines, and smote them with a great slaughter; and they fled before him. 1 Sam. 19:8
And Saul sought to smite David and the wall with the spear; but he slipped away out of Saul's presence, and he smote the spear into the wall. And David fled, and escaped that night. 1 Sam. 19:10
And Saul sent messengers to David's house, to watch him, and to slay him in the morning; and Michal David's wife told him, saying, If thou save not thy life to-night, to-morrow thou wilt be put to death. 1 Sam. 19:11
And Michal took the image, and laid it in the bed, and put the net of goats' hair at its head, and covered it with the coverlet. 1 Sam. 19:13
And Saul sent the messengers to see David, saying, Bring him up to me in the bed, that I may put him to death. 1 Sam. 19:15
And the messengers came in, and behold, the image was in the bed, and the net of goats' hair at its head. 1 Sam. 19:16
Then Saul sent messengers to take David; and they saw a company of prophets prophesying, and Samuel standing as president over them; and the Spirit of God came upon the messengers of Saul, and they also prophesied. 1 Sam. 19:20
And it was told Saul, and he sent other messengers, and they also prophesied. And Saul sent messengers again the third time, and they also prophesied. 1 Sam. 19:21
Then went he also to Ramah, and came to the great well that is in Sechu; and he asked and said, Where are Samuel and David? And one said, Behold, at Naioth by Ramah. 1 Sam. 19:22
And he went thither to Naioth by Ramah; and the Spirit of God came upon him also, and he went on, and prophesied, until he came to Naioth by Ramah. 1 Sam. 19:23
And he himself also stripped off his clothes, and prophesied, himself also, before Samuel, and lay down naked all that day and all that night. Wherefore they say, Is Saul also among the prophets? 1 Sam. 19:24
And David said to Jonathan, Behold, to-morrow is new moon, and I should not fail to sit with the king at meat; but let me go, that I may hide myself in the field until the third evening. 1 Sam. 20:5
If thy father should actually miss me, then say, David earnestly asked leave of me that he might run to Bethlehem his city; for there is a yearly sacrifice there for all the family. 1 Sam. 20:6
And Jonathan said to David, Come and let us go out into the field. And they went out both of them into the field. 1 Sam. 20:11
And Jonathan said to David, Jehovah, God of Israel, when I sound my father about this time to-morrow, or the next day, and behold, there be good toward David, and I then send not to thee, and apprise thee of it, 1 Sam. 20:12
And thou shalt not only while yet I live shew me the kindness of Jehovah, that I die not, 1 Sam. 20:14
but thou shalt not cut off thy kindness from my house for ever, no, not when Jehovah cuts off the enemies of David, every one from the face of the earth. 1 Sam. 20:15
And Jonathan made a covenant with the house of David, saying, Let Jehovah even require it at the hand of David's enemies! 1 Sam. 20:16
And Jonathan caused David to swear again, by the love he had for him, for he loved him as he loved his own soul. 1 Sam. 20:17
And Jonathan said to him, To-morrow is the new moon; and thou wilt be missed, for thy seat will be empty; 1 Sam. 20:18
but on the third day thou shalt go down quickly, and come to the place where thou didst hide thyself on the day of the business, and abide by the stone Ezel. 1 Sam. 20:19
And I will shoot three arrows on the side of it, as though I shot at a mark. 1 Sam. 20:20
And behold, I will send the lad, saying, Go, find the arrows. If I expressly say to the lad, Behold, the arrows are on this side of thee, take them; then come, for there is peace for thee, and it is nothing; as Jehovah liveth. 1 Sam. 20:21
But if I say thus to the youth: Behold, the arrows are beyond thee, -- go thy way; for Jehovah sends thee away. 1 Sam. 20:22
And as to the matter which thou and I have spoken of, behold, Jehovah is between me and thee for ever. 1 Sam. 20:23
And David hid himself in the field; and it was the new moon, and the king sat at table to eat. 1 Sam. 20:24
And the king sat on his seat, as at other times, on the seat by the wall; and Jonathan arose, and Abner sat by Saul's side, and David's place was empty. 1 Sam. 20:25
And it came to pass the next day after the new moon, the second day of the month, as David's place was empty, that Saul said to Jonathan his son, Why has not the son of Jesse come to table, neither yesterday nor to-day? 1 Sam. 20:27
and said, Let me go, I pray thee; for we have a family sacrifice in the city; and my brother himself has commanded me to be there; and now, if I have found favour in thy sight, let me go away, I pray thee, and see my brethren. He has therefore not come to the king's table. 1 Sam. 20:29
And Saul's anger was kindled against Jonathan, and he said to him, Son of the perverse rebellious woman, do not I know that thou hast chosen the son of Jesse to thine own shame and to the shame of thy mother's nakedness? 1 Sam. 20:30
For as long as the son of Jesse lives upon earth, thou shalt not be established, nor thy kingdom. And now send and fetch him to me, for he must die. 1 Sam. 20:31
Then Saul cast the spear at him to smite him; and Jonathan knew that it was determined by his father to put David to death. 1 Sam. 20:33
And Jonathan arose from the table in fierce anger, and ate no meat the second day of the new moon; for he was grieved for David, because his father had done him shame. 1 Sam. 20:34
And it came to pass in the morning that Jonathan went out into the field, to the place agreed on with David, and a little lad with him. 1 Sam. 20:35
And he said to his lad, Run, find now the arrows which I shoot. The lad ran, and he shot the arrow beyond him. 1 Sam. 20:36
And when the lad came to the place of the arrow which Jonathan had shot, Jonathan cried after the lad and said, Is not the arrow away beyond thee? 1 Sam. 20:37
And Jonathan cried after the lad, Make speed, haste, stay not! And Jonathan's lad gathered up the arrows, and came to his master. 1 Sam. 20:38
And the lad knew nothing: only Jonathan and David knew the matter. 1 Sam. 20:39
And Jonathan gave his weapons to his lad, and said to him, Go, carry them to the city. 1 Sam. 20:40
The lad went, and David arose from the side of the south, and fell on his face to the ground, and bowed himself three times; and they kissed one another, and wept one with another, until David exceeded. 1 Sam. 20:41
And Jonathan said to David, Go in peace, forasmuch as we have both of us sworn in the name of Jehovah, saying, Jehovah be between me and thee, and between my seed and thy seed for ever! And he arose and departed; and Jonathan went into the city. 1 Sam. 20:42
And David came to Nob, to Ahimelech the priest; and Ahimelech trembled at meeting David, and said to him, Why art thou alone, and no man with thee? 1 Sam. 21:1
And David said to Ahimelech the priest, The king has commanded me a business, and has said to me, Let no man know anything of the business whereon I send thee, and what I have commanded thee; and I have directed the young men to such and such a place. 1 Sam. 21:2
And the priest answered David and said, There is no common bread under my hand, but there is holy bread; if the young men have kept themselves at least from women. 1 Sam. 21:4
And David answered the priest and said to him, Yes indeed, women have been kept from us about these three days, since I came out, and the vessels of the young men are holy, and the bread is in a manner common, and the more so, because to-day new is hallowed in the vessels. 1 Sam. 21:5
And the priest gave him holy bread; for there was no bread there but the shew-loaves that were taken from before Jehovah, to put on hot bread in the day when they were taken away. 1 Sam. 21:6
(Now a certain man of the servants of Saul was there that day, detained before Jehovah; and his name was Doeg, the Edomite, chief of the shepherds that belonged to Saul.) 1 Sam. 21:7
And David said to Ahimelech, And is there not here under thy hand spear or sword? for I have neither brought my sword nor my weapons with me, for the king's business was urgent. 1 Sam. 21:8
And the priest said, The sword of Goliath the Philistine, whom thou slewest in the valley of terebinths, behold, it is here wrapped in a cloth behind the ephod; if thou wilt take that, take it; for there is no other save that here. And David said, There is none like that: give it me. 1 Sam. 21:9
And David arose, and fled that day from before Saul, and went to Achish the king of Gath. 1 Sam. 21:10
And the servants of Achish said to him, Is not this David the king of the land? did they not sing one to another of him in dances, saying, Saul has smitten his thousands, and David his ten thousands? 1 Sam. 21:11
And David took to heart these words, and was much afraid of Achish the king of Gath. 1 Sam. 21:12
And he changed his behaviour before them, and feigned himself mad in their hands, and scratched on the doors of the gate, and let his spittle fall down on his beard. 1 Sam. 21:13
And Achish said to his servants, Behold, ye see the man is mad: why did ye bring him to me? 1 Sam. 21:14
And David departed thence, and escaped to the cave of Adullam. And his brethren and all his father's house heard it, and they went down thither to him. 1 Sam. 22:1
And David went thence to Mizpeh in Moab, and said to the king of Moab, Let my father and my mother, I pray thee, come forth amongst you, till I know what God will do for me. 1 Sam. 22:3
And he brought them before the king of Moab; and they abode with him all the while that David was in the stronghold. 1 Sam. 22:4
And the prophet Gad said to David, Abide not in the stronghold; depart, and go into the land of Judah. Then David departed, and came into the forest of Hareth. 1 Sam. 22:5
And Saul heard that David was discovered, and the men that were with him. Now Saul was sitting in Gibeah under the tamarisk upon the height, having his spear in his hand, and all his servants were standing by him. 1 Sam. 22:6
Then Saul said to his servants that stood by him, Hear now, ye Benjaminites: will the son of Jesse give every one of you also fields and vineyards? Will he make you all captains of thousands and captains of hundreds, 1 Sam. 22:7
that all of you have conspired against me, and there is none that informs me when my son has made a covenant with the son of Jesse; and there is none of you that is sorry for me, or informs me that my son has stirred up my servant as a lier-in-wait against me, as at this day? 1 Sam. 22:8
Then answered Doeg the Edomite, who was set over the servants of Saul, and said, I saw the son of Jesse coming to Nob, to Ahimelech the son of Ahitub. 1 Sam. 22:9
And he inquired of Jehovah for him, and gave him victuals, and gave him the sword of Goliath the Philistine. 1 Sam. 22:10
Then the king sent to call Ahimelech the priest, the son of Ahitub, and all his father's house, the priests that were in Nob; and they came all of them to the king. 1 Sam. 22:11
And Saul said to him, Why have ye conspired against me, thou and the son of Jesse, in that thou hast given him bread, and a sword, and hast inquired of God for him, that he should rise against me as a lier-in-wait, as at this day? 1 Sam. 22:13
And Ahimelech answered the king and said, And who is so faithful among all thy servants as David, who is the king's son-in-law, and has access to thy secret council, and is honourable in thy house? 1 Sam. 22:14
Was it to-day that I began to inquire of God for him? be it far from me: let not the king charge anything to his servant, nor to all the house of my father; for thy servant knew nothing of all this, less or more. 1 Sam. 22:15
And the king said, Thou shalt certainly die, Ahimelech, thou, and all thy father's house. 1 Sam. 22:16
And the king said to the couriers that stood about him, Turn and put the priests of Jehovah to death; because their hand also is with David, and because they knew when he fled, and did not inform me. But the servants of the king were not willing to put forth their hand to fall on the priests of Jehovah. 1 Sam. 22:17
And the king said to Doeg, Turn thou, and fall on the priests. And Doeg the Edomite turned, and fell on the priests, and put to death that day eighty-five persons who wore the linen ephod. 1 Sam. 22:18
And Nob, the city of the priests, he smote with the edge of the sword, both men and women, infants and sucklings, and oxen, and asses, and sheep, with the edge of the sword. 1 Sam. 22:19
And one of the sons of Ahimelech the son of Ahitub, named Abiathar, escaped, and fled after David. 1 Sam. 22:20
And David said to Abiathar, I knew it that day, when Doeg the Edomite was there, that he would certainly tell Saul: I am accountable for all the lives of thy father's house. 1 Sam. 22:22
And they told David, saying, Behold, the Philistines fight against Keilah, and they rob the threshing-floors. 1 Sam. 23:1
And David inquired of Jehovah, saying, Shall I go and smite these Philistines? And Jehovah said to David, Go and smite the Philistines, and save Keilah. 1 Sam. 23:2
But David's men said to him, Behold, we are afraid here in Judah; how much more then if we go to Keilah against the armies of the Philistines? 1 Sam. 23:3
And David inquired of Jehovah yet again. And Jehovah answered him and said, Arise, go down to Keilah; for I will give the Philistines into thy hand. 1 Sam. 23:4
And David and his men went to Keilah, and fought against the Philistines, and brought away their cattle, and smote them with a great slaughter. So David saved the inhabitants of Keilah. 1 Sam. 23:5
And it came to pass, when Abiathar the son of Ahimelech fled to David to Keilah, he came down with an ephod in his hand. 1 Sam. 23:6
And Saul summoned all the people to war, to go down to Keilah, to besiege David and his men. 1 Sam. 23:8
And when David knew that Saul devised mischief against him, he said to Abiathar the priest, Bring the ephod. 1 Sam. 23:9
Then said David, Jehovah, God of Israel, thy servant hath heard for certain that Saul seeketh to come to Keilah, to destroy the city for my sake. 1 Sam. 23:10
Will the citizens of Keilah deliver me up into his hand? will Saul come down, as thy servant hath heard? Jehovah, God of Israel, I beseech thee, tell thy servant. And Jehovah said, He will come down. 1 Sam. 23:11
And David said, Will the citizens of Keilah deliver up me and my men into the hand of Saul? And Jehovah said, They will deliver thee up. 1 Sam. 23:12
And David abode in the wilderness in strongholds, and abode in the mountain in the wilderness of Ziph. And Saul sought him every day, but God did not give him into his hand. 1 Sam. 23:14
And David saw that Saul had come out to seek his life; and David was in the wilderness of Ziph in a wood. 1 Sam. 23:15
And Jonathan Saul's son arose, and went to David into the wood, and strengthened his hand in God. 1 Sam. 23:16
And he said to him, Fear not; for the hand of Saul my father will not find thee; and thou shalt be king over Israel, and I shall be next to thee; and that also Saul my father knows. 1 Sam. 23:17
And they two made a covenant before Jehovah; and David abode in the wood, and Jonathan went to his house. 1 Sam. 23:18
And the Ziphites came up to Saul to Gibeah, saying, Does not David hide himself with us in strongholds in the wood, on the hill of Hachilah, which is on the south of the waste? 1 Sam. 23:19
And now, O king, come down according to all the desire of thy soul to come down; and it will be for us to deliver him up into the king's hand. 1 Sam. 23:20
And see, and ascertain all the lurking-places where he hides himself, and come ye again to me with sure information, that I may go with you; and it shall come to pass, if he be in the land, that I will search him out throughout the thousands of Judah. 1 Sam. 23:23
And they arose and went to Ziph before Saul; but David and his men were in the wilderness of Maon, in the plain on the south of the waste. 1 Sam. 23:24
And Saul and his men went to seek him. And they told David; and he came down from the rock, and abode in the wilderness of Maon. And Saul heard that, and he pursued after David in the wilderness of Maon. 1 Sam. 23:25
And Saul went on this side of the mountain, and David and his men on that side of the mountain; and David made haste to get away from Saul; and Saul and his men sought to surround David and his men to take them. 1 Sam. 23:26
But there came a messenger to Saul, saying, Haste thee and come; for the Philistines have made a raid against the land. 1 Sam. 23:27
And Saul returned from pursuing after David, and went against the Philistines; therefore they called that place Sela-hammahlekoth. 1 Sam. 23:28
And David went up from thence, and abode in the strongholds of Engedi. 1 Sam. 23:29
And it came to pass when Saul had returned from following the Philistines, that it was told him, saying, Behold, David is in the wilderness of Engedi. 1 Sam. 24:1
And Saul took three thousand men, chosen out of all Israel, and went to seek David and his men upon the rocks of the wild goats. 1 Sam. 24:2
And he came to the sheepfolds by the way, where was a cave; and Saul went in to cover his feet; and David and his men were abiding in the recesses of the cave. 1 Sam. 24:3
And David's men said to him, Behold the day of which Jehovah said to thee, Behold, I will give thine enemy into thy hand, that thou mayest do to him as it shall seem good to thee. And David arose, and cut off the skirt of Saul's robe secretly. 1 Sam. 24:4
And he said to his men, Jehovah forbid that I should do this thing to my master, Jehovah's anointed, to stretch forth my hand against him, for he is the anointed of Jehovah. 1 Sam. 24:6
And David checked his men with these words, and suffered them not to rise against Saul. And Saul rose up out of the cave, and went on his way. 1 Sam. 24:7
David also arose afterwards, and went out of the cave, and cried after Saul, saying, My lord the king! And when Saul looked behind him, David bowed with his face to the earth, and did obeisance. 1 Sam. 24:8
Behold, this day thine eyes have seen how that Jehovah had given thee this day into my hand in the cave; and they bade me kill thee; but mine eye spared thee; and I said, I will not put forth my hand against my lord, for he is the anointed of Jehovah. 1 Sam. 24:10
And see, my father, yes, see the skirt of thy robe in my hand. For in that I cut off the skirt of thy robe, and killed thee not, know and see that there is neither evil nor transgression in my hand, and I have not sinned against thee; yet thou liest in wait for my life to take it. 1 Sam. 24:11
As saith the proverb of the ancients, Wickedness proceedeth from the wicked; but my hand shall not be upon thee. 1 Sam. 24:13
After whom is the king of Israel come out? after whom dost thou pursue? after a dead dog, after a single flea. 1 Sam. 24:14
And now behold, I know that thou shalt certainly be king, and that the kingdom of Israel shall be established in thy hand. 1 Sam. 24:20
And David swore to Saul. And Saul went home; and David and his men went up to the stronghold. 1 Sam. 24:22
And Samuel died; and all Israel were gathered together, and lamented him; and they buried him in his house at Ramah. And David arose and went down to the wilderness of Paran. 1 Sam. 25:1
And there was a man at Maon, whose business was at Carmel; and the man was very great, and he had three thousand sheep and a thousand goats; and he was shearing his sheep at Carmel. 1 Sam. 25:2
And the name of the man was Nabal, and the name of his wife Abigail; and the woman was of good understanding, and of a beautiful countenance; but the man was churlish and evil in his doings; and he was a Calebite. 1 Sam. 25:3
And David heard in the wilderness that Nabal was shearing his sheep. 1 Sam. 25:4
Then David sent out ten young men; and David said to the young men, Go up to Carmel, and go to Nabal, and greet him in my name. 1 Sam. 25:5
And now I have heard that thou hast shearers; now thy shepherds who were with us, we hurt them not, neither was there aught missed by them, all the while they were in Carmel. 1 Sam. 25:7
Ask thy young men, and they will tell thee. Therefore let the young men find favour in thine eyes; for we come in a good day: give, I pray thee, what thy hand may find to thy servants, and to thy son David. 1 Sam. 25:8
And David's young men came, and spoke to Nabal according to all those words in the name of David, and ceased. 1 Sam. 25:9
And Nabal answered David's servants and said, Who is David? and who is the son of Jesse? there are many servants now-a-days that break away every man from his master. 1 Sam. 25:10
And David said to his men, Gird ye on every man his sword. And they girded on every man his sword; and David also girded on his sword; and there went up after David about four hundred men; and two hundred abode by the baggage. 1 Sam. 25:13
And one of Nabal's young men told Abigail, Nabal's wife, saying, Behold, David sent messengers out of the wilderness to bless our master; and he has insulted them. 1 Sam. 25:14
And the men were very good to us, and we were not hurt, neither missed we anything, as long as we companied with them, when we were in the fields. 1 Sam. 25:15
They were a wall to us both by night and day, all the while we were with them feeding the sheep. 1 Sam. 25:16
And as she was riding on the ass, and coming down by the covert of the hill, behold, David and his men came down opposite to her; and she met them. 1 Sam. 25:20
Now David had said, Surely, in vain have I kept all that this man had in the wilderness, so that nothing was missed of all that was his; and he has requited me evil for good. 1 Sam. 25:21
So and more also do God to the enemies of David, if I leave of all that is his by the morning light any male. 1 Sam. 25:22
And when Abigail saw David, she hasted and lighted off the ass, and fell before David on her face, and bowed herself to the ground, 1 Sam. 25:23
and fell at his feet, and said, Upon me, my lord, upon me let the iniquity be; but let thy handmaid, I pray thee, speak in thine ears, and hear the words of thy handmaid. 1 Sam. 25:24
Let not my lord, I pray thee, regard this man of Belial, Nabal; for as his name is, so is he: Nabal is his name, and folly is with him; and I thy handmaid did not see the young men of my lord, whom thou didst send. 1 Sam. 25:25
And now this blessing which thy bondmaid has brought to my lord, let it be given to the young men that follow my lord. 1 Sam. 25:27
I pray thee, forgive the transgression of thy handmaid: for Jehovah will certainly make my lord a lasting house; because my lord fights the battles of Jehovah, and evil has not been found in thee all thy days. 1 Sam. 25:28
And if a man is risen up to pursue thee and to seek thy life, the soul of my lord shall be bound in the bundle of the living with Jehovah thy God; and the souls of thine enemies, them shall he sling out from the hollow of the sling. 1 Sam. 25:29
And it shall come to pass, when Jehovah shall do to my lord according to all the good that he has spoken concerning thee, and shall appoint thee ruler over Israel, 1 Sam. 25:30
And David said to Abigail, Blessed be Jehovah, the God of Israel, who sent thee this day to meet me. 1 Sam. 25:32
But indeed, as Jehovah the God of Israel liveth, who has restrained me from hurting thee, except thou hadst hasted and come to meet me, there had not been left to Nabal by the morning light any male. 1 Sam. 25:34
And Abigail came to Nabal; and behold, he held a feast in his house, like the feast of a king; and Nabal's heart was merry within him, for he was drunken to excess; so she told him nothing, less or more, until the morning light. 1 Sam. 25:36
And it came to pass in the morning, when the wine was gone out of Nabal, that his wife told him these things; and his heart died within him, and he became as a stone. 1 Sam. 25:37
And when David heard that Nabal was dead, he said, Blessed be Jehovah, who has pleaded the cause of my reproach from the hand of Nabal, and has kept back his servant from evil; but Jehovah has returned Nabal's evil upon his own head. And David sent and communed with Abigail, to take her as his wife. 1 Sam. 25:39
And the servants of David came to Abigail to Carmel, and spoke to her, saying, David has sent us to thee, to take thee as his wife. 1 Sam. 25:40
And she arose and bowed herself on her face to the earth, and said, Behold, let thy handmaid be a bondwoman to wash the feet of the servants of my lord. 1 Sam. 25:41
And Abigail hasted, and arose, and rode upon an ass, with five damsels of hers that followed her; and she went after the messengers of David, and became his wife. 1 Sam. 25:42
But Saul had given Michal his daughter, David's wife, to Phalti the son of Laish, who was of Gallim. 1 Sam. 25:44
And the Ziphites came to Saul to Gibeah, saying, Does not David hide himself in the hill of Hachilah, facing the waste? 1 Sam. 26:1
And Saul arose, and went down to the wilderness of Ziph, having three thousand chosen men of Israel with him, to seek David in the wilderness of Ziph. 1 Sam. 26:2
And Saul encamped in the hill of Hachilah, which faces the waste, by the way side. And David abode in the wilderness; and when he saw that Saul had come after him into the wilderness, 1 Sam. 26:3
And David arose and came to the place where Saul had encamped; and David beheld the place where Saul lay, and Abner the son of Ner, the captain of his host; and Saul lay within the wagon-defence, and the people were encamped round about him. 1 Sam. 26:5
And David spake and said to Ahimelech the Hittite, and to Abishai the son of Zeruiah, Joab's brother, saying, Who will go down with me to Saul to the camp? And Abishai said, I will go down with thee. 1 Sam. 26:6
And David and Abishai came to the people by night, and behold, Saul lay sleeping within the wagon-defence, and his spear stuck in the ground at his head; and Abner and the people lay round about him. 1 Sam. 26:7
And Abishai said to David, God has delivered thine enemy into thy hand this day; and now let me smite him, I pray thee, with the spear, even to the ground once, and I will not do it the second time. 1 Sam. 26:8
Jehovah forbid that I should stretch forth my hand against Jehovah's anointed! But now take, I pray thee, the spear that is at his head, and the cruse of water, and let us go. 1 Sam. 26:11
And David took the spear and the cruse of water from Saul's head; and they went away, and no man saw it, and none knew it, and none awaked, for they were all asleep; for a deep sleep from Jehovah had fallen upon them. 1 Sam. 26:12
And David went over to the other side, and stood on the top of a hill afar off; a great space being between them. 1 Sam. 26:13
And David cried to the people, and to Abner the son of Ner, saying, Answerest thou not, Abner? Then Abner answered and said, Who art thou that criest to the king? 1 Sam. 26:14
And David said to Abner, Art not thou a man? and who is like to thee in Israel? and why hast thou not guarded thy lord the king? for one of the people came in to destroy the king thy lord. 1 Sam. 26:15
This thing is not good which thou hast done. As Jehovah liveth, ye are worthy to die, because ye have not guarded your master, Jehovah's anointed. And now see where the king's spear is, and the cruse of water that was at his head. 1 Sam. 26:16
And now, I pray thee, let my lord the king hear the words of his servant. If Jehovah have moved thee against me, let him accept an oblation; but if the sons of men, cursed be they before Jehovah; for they have driven me out this day from adhering to the inheritance of Jehovah, saying, Go, serve other gods. 1 Sam. 26:19
And now, let not my blood fall to the earth far from the face of Jehovah; for the king of Israel is come out to seek a single flea, as when they hunt a partridge on the mountains. 1 Sam. 26:20
And David answered and said, Behold the king's spear, and let one of the young men come over and fetch it. 1 Sam. 26:22
And behold, as thy life was highly esteemed this day in mine eyes, so let my life be highly esteemed in the eyes of Jehovah, that he may deliver me out of all distress. 1 Sam. 26:24
And David said in his heart, I shall now perish one day by the hand of Saul: there is nothing better for me than that I should speedily escape into the land of the Philistines; and Saul will despair of me to seek me any more within all the limits of Israel, and I shall escape out of his hand. 1 Sam. 27:1
And David arose and passed over, he and the six hundred men that were with him, to Achish, the son of Maoch, king of Gath. 1 Sam. 27:2
And David abode with Achish at Gath, he and his men, every man with his household; David with his two wives, Ahinoam the Jizreelitess, and Abigail the Carmelitess, Nabal's wife. 1 Sam. 27:3
And David said to Achish, If now I have found favour in thine eyes, let them give me a place in some country-town, that I may abide there; for why should thy servant abide in the royal city with thee? 1 Sam. 27:5
And Achish gave him Ziklag that day; therefore Ziklag belongs to the kings of Judah to this day. 1 Sam. 27:6
And the time that David abode in the country of the Philistines was a year and four months. 1 Sam. 27:7
And David and his men went up and made a raid upon the Geshurites, and the Gerzites, and the Amalekites: for those were of old the inhabitants of the land, as thou goest to Shur, and as far as the land of Egypt. 1 Sam. 27:8
And David smote the land, and left neither man nor woman alive, and took away the sheep, and the oxen, and the asses, and the camels, and the apparel, and returned, and came to Achish. 1 Sam. 27:9
So Achish said, Have ye not made a raid to-day? And David said, Against the south of Judah, and against the south of the Jerahmeelites, and against the south of the Kenites. 1 Sam. 27:10
And David left neither man nor woman alive, to bring them to Gath, for he said, Lest they should tell of us, saying, So did David. And such was his custom as long as he abode in the country of the Philistines. 1 Sam. 27:11
And it came to pass in those days that the Philistines gathered together their armies for warfare to fight against Israel. And Achish said to David, Know thou assuredly that thou shalt go out with me to the camp, thou and thy men. 1 Sam. 28:1
(Now Samuel was dead, and all Israel had lamented him, and they had buried him in Ramah, even in his own city. And Saul had put away the necromancers and the soothsayers out of the land.) 1 Sam. 28:3
And the Philistines gathered themselves together, and came and encamped in Shunem; and Saul gathered all Israel together, and they encamped in Gilboa. 1 Sam. 28:4
And when Saul saw the camp of the Philistines, he was afraid, and his heart greatly trembled. 1 Sam. 28:5
And Saul disguised himself, and put on other garments, and he went, and two men with him, and they came to the woman by night; and he said, I pray thee, divine to me by the spirit of Python, and bring me him up whom I shall name to thee. 1 Sam. 28:8
And the woman said to him, Behold, thou knowest what Saul has done, how he has cut off the necromancers and the soothsayers out of the land; and why layest thou a snare for my life, to cause me to die? 1 Sam. 28:9
Then said the woman, Whom shall I bring up to thee? And he said, Bring me up Samuel. 1 Sam. 28:11
And when the woman saw Samuel, she cried out with a loud voice; and the woman spoke to Saul, saying, Why hast thou deceived me? Even thou art Saul. 1 Sam. 28:12
And the king said to her, Be not afraid; but what didst thou see? And the woman said to Saul, I saw a god ascending out of the earth. 1 Sam. 28:13
And he said to her, What is his form? And she said, An old man comes up; and he is covered with a mantle. And Saul knew that it was Samuel, and he stooped with his face to the ground, and bowed himself. 1 Sam. 28:14
And Samuel said to Saul, Why hast thou disquieted me, to bring me up? And Saul said, I am sore distressed; for the Philistines make war against me, and God is departed from me, and answers me no more, neither by prophets nor by dreams; therefore I have called thee, that thou mayest make known to me what I shall do. 1 Sam. 28:15
And Jehovah has done for himself as he spoke by me; and Jehovah has rent the kingdom out of thy hand, and given it to thy neighbour, to David. 1 Sam. 28:17
Because thou didst not hearken to the voice of Jehovah, and didst not execute his fierce anger upon Amalek, therefore has Jehovah done this thing to thee this day. 1 Sam. 28:18
And Jehovah will also give Israel with thee into the hand of the Philistines; and to-morrow shalt thou and thy sons be with me; the army of Israel also will Jehovah give into the hand of the Philistines. 1 Sam. 28:19
And Saul fell straightway his full length on the earth, and was sore afraid because of the words of Samuel; and there was no strength in him, for he had eaten no bread all the day nor all the night. 1 Sam. 28:20
And the woman came to Saul, and saw that he was sore troubled, and said to him, Behold, thy bondmaid has hearkened to thy voice, and I have put my life in my hand, and have hearkened to thy words which thou spokest to me. 1 Sam. 28:21
And now, I pray thee, hearken thou also to the voice of thy bondmaid, and let me set a morsel of bread before thee; and eat, that thou mayest have strength when thou goest on thy way. 1 Sam. 28:22
But he refused and said, I will not eat. Then his servants, and the woman also, compelled him, and he hearkened to their voice; and he arose from the earth and sat on the bed. 1 Sam. 28:23
And the woman had a fat calf in the house; and she hasted and killed it, and took flour, and kneaded it, and baked unleavened bread thereof; 1 Sam. 28:24
And the Philistines gathered together all their armies to Aphek; and Israel encamped by the spring that is in Jizreel. 1 Sam. 29:1
And the lords of the Philistines passed on by hundreds and by thousands; and David and his men passed on in the rearward with Achish. 1 Sam. 29:2
And the princes of the Philistines said, What are these Hebrews? And Achish said to the princes of the Philistines, Is not this David, the servant of Saul the king of Israel, who has been with me these days, or these years, and I have found nothing in him since the day of his falling away to me to this day? 1 Sam. 29:3
But the princes of the Philistines were wroth with him; and the princes of the Philistines said to him, Make the man return, that he may go again to his place where thou hast appointed him, that he go not down with us to the battle, that in the battle he be not an adversary to us; for wherewith should this fellow reconcile himself to his master? should it not be with the heads of these men? 1 Sam. 29:4
And Achish called David, and said to him, As Jehovah liveth, thou art upright, and thy going out and thy coming in with me in the camp is acceptable to me; for I have not found evil in thee since the day of thy coming to me to this day; but thou art not acceptable to the lords. 1 Sam. 29:6
And now return, and go in peace, that thou displease not the lords of the Philistines. 1 Sam. 29:7
And David said to Achish, But what have I done? and what hast thou found in thy servant so long as I have been with thee to this day, that I should not go and fight against the enemies of my lord the king? 1 Sam. 29:8
And Achish answered and said to David, I know that thou art acceptable to me, as an angel of God; nevertheless the princes of the Philistines have said, He shall not go up with us to the battle. 1 Sam. 29:9
And now rise up early in the morning with thy master's servants that are come with thee; and rise ye early in the morning, and when ye have daylight, depart. 1 Sam. 29:10
And David rose up early, he and his men, to depart in the morning, to return into the land of the Philistines. And the Philistines went up to Jizreel. 1 Sam. 29:11
And it came to pass, when David and his men came to Ziklag on the third day, that the Amalekites had made a raid upon the south, and upon Ziklag, and smitten Ziklag and burned it with fire; 1 Sam. 30:1
and had taken the women captives that were in it; both great and small: they had put none to death, but had carried them off, and went on their way. 1 Sam. 30:2
And David and his men came to the city, and behold, it was burnt with fire; and their wives, and their sons, and their daughters were taken captives. 1 Sam. 30:3
Then David and the people that were with him lifted up their voice and wept, until they had no more power to weep. 1 Sam. 30:4
And David's two wives were taken captives, Ahinoam the Jizreelitess, and Abigail the wife of Nabal the Carmelite. 1 Sam. 30:5
And David was greatly distressed; for the people spoke of stoning him; for the soul of all the people was embittered, every man because of his sons and because of his daughters; but David strengthened himself in Jehovah his God. 1 Sam. 30:6
And David said to Abiathar the priest, Ahimelech's son, Bring near to me, I pray thee, the ephod. And Abiathar brought the ephod near to David. 1 Sam. 30:7
So David went, he and the six hundred men that were with him, and they came to the torrent Besor; and those that were left stayed behind. 1 Sam. 30:9
And David pursued, he and four hundred men; for two hundred stayed behind, who were too exhausted to go over the torrent Besor. 1 Sam. 30:10
And they found an Egyptian in the field, and brought him to David, and gave him bread, and he ate; and they gave him water to drink, 1 Sam. 30:11
We made a raid against the south of the Cherethites, and against what belongs to Judah, and against the south of Caleb; and we burned Ziklag with fire. 1 Sam. 30:14
And David said to him, Canst thou bring me down to this troop? And he said, Swear to me by God, that thou wilt neither put me to death nor deliver me up into the hand of my master, and I will bring thee down to this troop. 1 Sam. 30:15
And he brought him down, and behold, they were spread over the whole land, eating and drinking, and dancing, because of all the great spoil that they had taken out of the land of the Philistines, and out of the land of Judah. 1 Sam. 30:16
And David smote them from the twilight even to the evening of the next day; and there escaped not a man of them, save four hundred young men, who rode upon camels, and fled. 1 Sam. 30:17
And David recovered all that the Amalekites had taken: and David recovered his two wives. 1 Sam. 30:18
And David took all the flocks and the herds, which they drove before the other cattle, and said, This is David's spoil. 1 Sam. 30:20
And David came to the two hundred men who had been too exhausted to follow David, and whom they had left behind at the torrent Besor; and they went forth to meet David, and to meet the people that were with him; and David drew near to the people and saluted them. 1 Sam. 30:21
And all the wicked men, and men of Belial, of those that had gone with David, answered and said, Because they went not with us, we will not give them aught of the spoil that we have recovered, save to every man his wife and his children, that they may lead them away and depart. 1 Sam. 30:22
Then said David, Ye shall not do so, my brethren, with that which Jehovah has given us, who has preserved us, and given the troop that came against us into our hand. 1 Sam. 30:23
And who will hearken to you in this matter? For as his share is that goes down to the battle, so shall his share be that abides by the baggage: they shall share alike. 1 Sam. 30:24
And David came to Ziklag, and he sent of the spoil to the elders of Judah, to his friends, saying, Behold a present for you of the spoil of the enemies of Jehovah: 1 Sam. 30:26
and to those in Rachal, and to those in the cities of the Jerahmeelites, and to those in the cities of the Kenites, 1 Sam. 30:29
and to those in Hebron, and to all the places where David himself and his men went about. 1 Sam. 30:31
And the Philistines fought against Israel; and the men of Israel fled from before the Philistines, and fell down slain on mount Gilboa. 1 Sam. 31:1
And the Philistines followed hard upon Saul and upon his sons; and the Philistines smote Jonathan, and Abinadab, and Malchishua, Saul's sons. 1 Sam. 31:2
And the battle went sore against Saul, and the archers came up with him; and he was much terrified by the archers. 1 Sam. 31:3
Then said Saul to his armour-bearer, Draw thy sword, and thrust me through with it; lest these uncircumcised come and thrust me through, and abuse me. But his armour-bearer would not; for he was much afraid. So Saul took the sword and fell on it. 1 Sam. 31:4
And when the men of Israel that were on this side of the valley, and they that were on this side of the Jordan, saw that the men of Israel fled, and that Saul and his sons were dead, they forsook the cities and fled; and the Philistines came and dwelt in them. 1 Sam. 31:7
And it came to pass the next day, that the Philistines came to strip the slain, and they found Saul and his three sons fallen on mount Gilboa. 1 Sam. 31:8
And they cut off his head, and stripped off his armour, and sent them into the land of the Philistines round about, to announce the glad tidings in the houses of their idols, and to the people. 1 Sam. 31:9
And they put his armour in the house of Ashtaroth; and they fastened his body to the wall of Beth-shan. 1 Sam. 31:10
And when the inhabitants of Jabesh-Gilead heard of what the Philistines had done to Saul, 1 Sam. 31:11
all the valiant men arose and went all night, and took the body of Saul and the bodies of his sons from the wall of Beth-shan, and came to Jabesh, and burned them there. 1 Sam. 31:12
And they took their bones, and buried them under the tamarisk at Jabesh, and fasted seven days. 1 Sam. 31:13
And it came to pass after the death of Saul, when David had returned from the slaughter of the Amalekites, that David abode two days in Ziklag. 2 Sam. 1:1
And it came to pass on the third day, that behold, a man came out of the camp from Saul with his garments rent, and earth upon his head; and as soon as he came to David, he fell to the earth and did obeisance. 2 Sam. 1:2
And David said to him, Whence comest thou? And he said to him, Out of the camp of Israel am I escaped. 2 Sam. 1:3
And David said to him, What has taken place? I pray thee, tell me. And he said that the people had fled from the battle, and many of the people also had fallen and died, and that Saul and Jonathan his son were dead also. 2 Sam. 1:4
And David said to the young man that told him, How knowest thou that Saul and Jonathan his son are dead? 2 Sam. 1:5
And the young man that told him said, I happened by chance to be upon mount Gilboa, and behold, Saul leaned on his spear; and behold, the chariots and horsemen followed hard after him. 2 Sam. 1:6
So I stood over him, and put him to death, for I knew that he would not live after his fall; and I took the crown that was upon his head, and the bracelet that was on his arm, and have brought them hither to my lord. 2 Sam. 1:10
Then David took hold of his garments and rent them; and all the men that were with him did likewise. 2 Sam. 1:11
And they mourned, and wept, and fasted until even for Saul, and for Jonathan his son, and for the people of Jehovah, and for the house of Israel; because they were fallen by the sword. 2 Sam. 1:12
And David said to the young man that told him, Whence art thou? And he said, I am the son of an Amalekite stranger. 2 Sam. 1:13
Then David called one of the young men and said, Draw near, and fall on him. And he smote him that he died. 2 Sam. 1:15
and he bade them teach the children of Judah the song of the bow. Behold, it is written in the book of Jasher: -- 2 Sam. 1:18
The beauty of Israel is slain upon thy high places: how are the mighty fallen! 2 Sam. 1:19
Tell it not in Gath, carry not the tidings in the streets of Ashkelon; Lest the daughters of the Philistines rejoice, Lest the daughters of the uncircumcised triumph. 2 Sam. 1:20
Ye mountains of Gilboa, let there be no dew, no rain upon you, nor fields of heave-offerings! For there the shield of the mighty was vilely cast away, The shield of Saul, as not anointed with oil. 2 Sam. 1:21
From the blood of the slain, from the fat of the mighty, The bow of Jonathan turned not back, And the sword of Saul returned not empty. 2 Sam. 1:22
How are the mighty fallen in the midst of the battle! Jonathan is slain upon thy high places. 2 Sam. 1:25
How are the mighty fallen, and the instruments of war perished! 2 Sam. 1:27
And it came to pass after this that David inquired of Jehovah, saying, Shall I go up into one of the cities of Judah? And Jehovah said to him, Go up. And David said, Whither shall I go up? And he said, Unto Hebron. 2 Sam. 2:1
So David went up thither, and his two wives also, Ahinoam the Jizreelitess, and Abigail the wife of Nabal the Carmelite. 2 Sam. 2:2
And his men that were with him did David bring up, every man with his household; and they dwelt in the cities of Hebron. 2 Sam. 2:3
And the men of Judah came, and there they anointed David king over the house of Judah. And they told David, saying, It is the men of Jabesh-Gilead that have buried Saul. 2 Sam. 2:4
And David sent messengers to the men of Jabesh-Gilead, and said to them, Blessed be ye of Jehovah, that ye have shewn this kindness to your lord, to Saul, and have buried him! 2 Sam. 2:5
And now let your hands be strong, and be ye valiant; for your master Saul is dead, and also the house of Judah have anointed me king over them. 2 Sam. 2:7
And Abner the son of Ner, captain of Saul's host, took Ishbosheth the son of Saul, and brought him over to Mahanaim; 2 Sam. 2:8
and made him king over Gilead, and over the Asshurites, and over Jizreel, and over Ephraim, and over Benjamin, and over all Israel. 2 Sam. 2:9
Ishbosheth Saul's son was forty years old when he began to reign over Israel, and he reigned two years. However, the house of Judah followed David. 2 Sam. 2:10
And the time that David was king in Hebron over the house of Judah was seven years and six months. 2 Sam. 2:11
And Abner the son of Ner, and the servants of Ishbosheth the son of Saul, went out from Mahanaim to Gibeon. 2 Sam. 2:12
And Joab the son of Zeruiah, and the servants of David, went out. And they met together by the pool of Gibeon; and they sat down, these on the one side of the pool, and those on the other side of the pool. 2 Sam. 2:13
And Abner said to Joab, Let the young men now arise and make sport before us. And Joab said, Let them arise. 2 Sam. 2:14
And they arose and went over by number, twelve for Benjamin, and for Ishbosheth the son of Saul, and twelve of the servants of David. 2 Sam. 2:15
And they caught every one his fellow by the head, and thrust his sword in his fellow's side, and they fell down together. And that place was called Helkath-hazzurim, which is by Gibeon. 2 Sam. 2:16
And the battle that day was very severe; and Abner and the men of Israel were routed before the servants of David. 2 Sam. 2:17
And there were three sons of Zeruiah there, Joab, and Abishai, and Asahel. Now Asahel was swift of foot, as one of the gazelles that are in the field. 2 Sam. 2:18
And Asahel pursued after Abner; and in going he turned not to the right hand nor to the left from behind Abner. 2 Sam. 2:19
And Abner said to him, Turn thee aside, to thy right hand or to thy left, and lay hold of one of the young men, and take for thyself his armour. But Asahel would not turn aside from following him. 2 Sam. 2:21
And Abner said again to Asahel, Turn thee aside from following me: why should I smite thee to the ground? how then should I hold up my face to Joab thy brother? 2 Sam. 2:22
But he refused to turn aside; therefore Abner with the hinder end of the spear smote him in the belly, so that the spear came out behind him; and he fell down there, and died in the same place. And it came to pass, that as many as came to the place where Asahel fell down and died stood still. 2 Sam. 2:23
And Joab and Abishai pursued after Abner; and the sun went down when they came to the hill of Ammah, which is before Giah on the way to the wilderness of Gibeon. 2 Sam. 2:24
And the children of Benjamin gathered themselves together after Abner, and became one troop, and stood on the top of a hill. 2 Sam. 2:25
And Abner called to Joab, and said, Shall the sword devour for ever? knowest thou not that it will be bitterness in the latter end? and how long shall it be ere thou bid the people return from following their brethren? 2 Sam. 2:26
And Joab said, As God liveth, unless thou hadst spoken, surely then in the morning the people had gone up every one from following his brother. 2 Sam. 2:27
And Joab blew the trumpet, and all the people stood still, and pursued after Israel no more, neither did they fight any more. 2 Sam. 2:28
And Abner and his men walked all that night through the plain, and passed over the Jordan, and went through all Bithron, and they came to Mahanaim. 2 Sam. 2:29
And Joab returned from following Abner, and gathered all the people together; and there lacked of David's servants nineteen men, and Asahel. 2 Sam. 2:30
And the servants of David had smitten of Benjamin, and of Abner's men, three hundred and sixty men, who had died. 2 Sam. 2:31
And they took up Asahel, and buried him in the sepulchre of his father, which was in Bethlehem. And Joab and his men went all night, and they came to Hebron at break of day. 2 Sam. 2:32
And the war was long between the house of Saul and the house of David; but David became continually stronger, and the house of Saul became continually weaker. 2 Sam. 3:1
And to David were sons born in Hebron: his firstborn was Amnon, of Ahinoam the Jizreelitess; 2 Sam. 3:2
and his second, Chileab, of Abigail the wife of Nabal the Carmelite; and the third, Absalom the son of Maachah, daughter of Talmai king of Geshur; 2 Sam. 3:3
and the fourth, Adonijah the son of Haggith; and the fifth, Shephatiah the son of Abital; 2 Sam. 3:4
and the sixth, Ithream, of Eglah David's wife. These were born to David in Hebron. 2 Sam. 3:5
And it came to pass while there was war between the house of Saul and the house of David, that Abner made himself strong for the house of Saul. 2 Sam. 3:6
And Saul had a concubine whose name was Rizpah, the daughter of Aiah. And Ishbosheth said to Abner, Why hast thou gone in to my father's concubine? 2 Sam. 3:7
Then was Abner very wroth for the words of Ishbosheth, and said, Am I a dog's head, I who against Judah do shew kindness this day to the house of Saul thy father, to his brethren, and to his friends, and have not delivered thee into the hand of David, that thou reproachest me this day with the fault of this woman? 2 Sam. 3:8
to translate the kingdom from the house of Saul, and to set up the throne of David over Israel and over Judah, from Dan even to Beer-sheba! 2 Sam. 3:10
And Abner sent messengers to David on his behalf, saying, Whose is the land? saying also, Make thy covenant with me, and behold, my hand shall be with thee, to turn all Israel to thee. 2 Sam. 3:12
And David sent messengers to Ishbosheth Saul's son, saying, Deliver me my wife Michal, whom I espoused to me for a hundred foreskins of the Philistines. 2 Sam. 3:14
And Ishbosheth sent, and took her from her husband, from Phaltiel the son of Laish. 2 Sam. 3:15
Now Abner had communicated with the elders of Israel, saying, Ye sought for David aforetime to be king over you; 2 Sam. 3:17
and now do it, for Jehovah has spoken of David, saying, By my servant David will I save my people Israel out of the hand of the Philistines, and out of the hand of all their enemies. 2 Sam. 3:18
And Abner also spoke in the ears of Benjamin; and Abner went also to speak in the ears of David in Hebron all that seemed good to Israel, and that seemed good to the whole house of Benjamin. 2 Sam. 3:19
So Abner came to David to Hebron, and twenty men with him. And David made Abner and the men that were with him a repast. 2 Sam. 3:20
And Abner said to David, I will arise and go, and will gather all Israel to my lord the king, that they may make a covenant with thee, and that thou mayest reign over all that thy heart desires. And David sent Abner away; and he went in peace. 2 Sam. 3:21
And behold, the servants of David and Joab came from an expedition, and brought in a great spoil with them; but Abner was no longer with David in Hebron, for he had sent him away, and he had gone in peace. 2 Sam. 3:22
And Joab and all the host that was with him came; and they told Joab, saying, Abner the son of Ner came to the king, and he has sent him away; and he is gone in peace. 2 Sam. 3:23
Then Joab came to the king, and said, What hast thou done? behold, Abner came to thee; why is it that thou hast sent him away, and he is gone? 2 Sam. 3:24
Thou knowest Abner the son of Ner, that he came to deceive thee, to know thy going out and thy coming in, and to know all that thou doest. 2 Sam. 3:25
And when Joab was come out from David, he sent messengers after Abner, who brought him again from the well of Sirah; but David did not know it. 2 Sam. 3:26
And when Abner was returned to Hebron, Joab took him aside in the gate to speak with him secretly, and smote him there in the belly, that he died, for the blood of Asahel his brother. 2 Sam. 3:27
And afterwards David heard it, and he said, I and my kingdom are guiltless before Jehovah for ever from the blood of Abner the son of Ner: 2 Sam. 3:28
let it fall on the head of Joab, and on all his father's house; and let there not fail from the house of Joab one that has an issue, or that is a leper, or that leans on a staff, or that falls by the sword, or that lacks bread! 2 Sam. 3:29
So Joab and Abishai his brother killed Abner, because he had slain their brother Asahel at Gibeon in the battle. 2 Sam. 3:30
And David said to Joab, and to all the people that were with him, Rend your garments, and gird yourselves with sackcloth, and mourn before Abner. And king David followed the bier. 2 Sam. 3:31
And they buried Abner in Hebron; and the king lifted up his voice and wept at the grave of Abner; and all the people wept. 2 Sam. 3:32
And the king lamented over Abner, and said, Should Abner die as a fool dieth? 2 Sam. 3:33
Thy hands were not bound, Nor thy feet put into fetters; As a man falleth before wicked men, Fellest thou! And all the people wept again over him. 2 Sam. 3:34
And all the people came to cause David to eat bread while it was yet day; but David swore, saying, So do God to me, and more also, if I taste bread or aught else till the sun be down! 2 Sam. 3:35
And all the people remarked it, and it pleased them; as whatever the king did pleased all the people. 2 Sam. 3:36
And all the people and all Israel understood that day that it was not of the king to put Abner the son of Ner to death. 2 Sam. 3:37
And the king said to his servants, Know ye not that there is a prince and a great man fallen this day in Israel? 2 Sam. 3:38
And I am this day weak, though anointed king; and these men, the sons of Zeruiah, are too hard for me: Jehovah reward the doer of evil according to his wickedness! 2 Sam. 3:39
And Saul's son had two men, captains of bands: the name of the one was Baanah, and the name of the other Rechab, the sons of Rimmon the Beerothite, of the children of Benjamin; for Beeroth also was reckoned to Benjamin. 2 Sam. 4:2
And the Beerothites had fled to Gittaim, and were sojourners there until this day. 2 Sam. 4:3
And Jonathan Saul's son had a son that was lame of his feet. He was five years old when the news came of Saul and Jonathan out of Jizreel; and his nurse took him up and fled. And it came to pass, as she made haste to flee, that he fell, and became lame. And his name was Mephibosheth. 2 Sam. 4:4
And the sons of Rimmon the Beerothite, Rechab and Baanah, went and came in about the heat of the day into the house of Ishbosheth, who was taking his noonday rest. 2 Sam. 4:5
And they came thither into the midst of the house, as though they would fetch wheat; and they smote him in the belly; and Rechab and Baanah his brother escaped. 2 Sam. 4:6
They came into the house, as he lay on his bed in his bedchamber, and they smote him, and slew him, and beheaded him; and they took his head, and went by the way of the plain all night. 2 Sam. 4:7
And they brought the head of Ishbosheth to David in Hebron, and said to the king, Behold the head of Ishbosheth the son of Saul, thine enemy who sought thy life; and Jehovah has given to my lord the king to be avenged this day of Saul and of his seed. 2 Sam. 4:8
Then David answered Rechab and Baanah his brother, the sons of Rimmon the Beerothite, and said to them, As Jehovah liveth, who has redeemed my soul out of all distress, 2 Sam. 4:9
how much more, when wicked men have slain a righteous person in his own house upon his bed? and should I not now demand his blood of your hand, and take you away from the earth? 2 Sam. 4:11
And David commanded his young men, and they slew them, and cut off their hands and their feet, and hanged them up over the pool in Hebron. But they took the head of Ishbosheth, and buried it in the sepulchre of Abner in Hebron. 2 Sam. 4:12
Then came all the tribes of Israel to David to Hebron, and spoke, saying, Behold, we are thy bone and thy flesh. 2 Sam. 5:1
And all the elders of Israel came to the king to Hebron; and king David made a covenant with them in Hebron before Jehovah; and they anointed David king over Israel. 2 Sam. 5:3
And the king and his men went to Jerusalem against the Jebusites, the inhabitants of the land; and they spoke to David, saying, Thou shalt not come in hither, but the blind and the lame will drive thee back; as much as to say, David will not come in hither. 2 Sam. 5:6
But David took the stronghold of Zion, which is the city of David. 2 Sam. 5:7
And David said on that day, Whoever smites the Jebusites and gets up to the watercourse, and the lame and the blind hated of David's soul ...! Therefore they say, The blind and the lame shall not come into the house. 2 Sam. 5:8
So David dwelt in the stronghold, and called it the city of David. And David built round about from the Millo and inward. 2 Sam. 5:9
And David became continually greater; and Jehovah the God of hosts was with him. 2 Sam. 5:10
And these are the names of those that were born to him in Jerusalem: Shammua, and Shobab, and Nathan, and Solomon, 2 Sam. 5:14
And the Philistines heard that they had anointed David king over Israel, and all the Philistines went up to seek David; and David heard of it, and went down to the stronghold. 2 Sam. 5:17
And the Philistines came and spread themselves in the valley of Rephaim. 2 Sam. 5:18
And David inquired of Jehovah, saying, Shall I go up against the Philistines? wilt thou give them into my hand? And Jehovah said to David, Go up; for I will certainly give the Philistines into thy hand. 2 Sam. 5:19
And David came to Baal-perazim, and David smote them there; and he said, Jehovah has broken in upon mine enemies before me, as the breaking forth of waters. Therefore he called the name of that place Baal-perazim. 2 Sam. 5:20
And the Philistines came up yet again, and spread themselves in the valley of Rephaim. 2 Sam. 5:22
And David inquired of Jehovah; and he said, Thou shalt not go up; turn round behind them and come upon them opposite the mulberry-trees. 2 Sam. 5:23
And it shall be, when thou hearest a sound of marching in the tops of the mulberry-trees, that then thou shalt bestir thyself; for then will Jehovah have gone forth before thee, to smite the army of the Philistines. 2 Sam. 5:24
And David did so, as Jehovah had commanded him; and smote the Philistines from Geba until thou comest to Gezer. 2 Sam. 5:25
And David again gathered all the chosen men of Israel, thirty thousand. 2 Sam. 6:1
And David arose and went with all the people that were with him from Baale-Judah, to bring up from thence the ark of God which is called by the name, the name of Jehovah of hosts who sitteth between the cherubim. 2 Sam. 6:2
And they set the ark of God upon a new cart, and brought it out of the house of Abinadab, which was upon the hill; and Uzzah and Ahio, the sons of Abinadab, drove the new cart. 2 Sam. 6:3
And they brought it with the ark of God out of the house of Abinadab which was upon the hill; and Ahio went before the ark. 2 Sam. 6:4
And David and all the house of Israel played before Jehovah on all manner of instruments made of cypress wood, with harps, and with lutes, and with tambours, and with sistra, and with cymbals. 2 Sam. 6:5
And when they came to Nachon's threshing-floor, Uzzah reached after the ark of God, and took hold of it; for the oxen had stumbled. 2 Sam. 6:6
And the anger of Jehovah was kindled against Uzzah; and God smote him there for his error; and there he died by the ark of God. 2 Sam. 6:7
And David was afraid of Jehovah that day, and said, How shall the ark of Jehovah come to me? 2 Sam. 6:9
So David would not bring the ark of Jehovah home unto himself into the city of David; but David carried it aside into the house of Obed-Edom the Gittite. 2 Sam. 6:10
And the ark of Jehovah remained in the house of Obed-Edom the Gittite three months; and Jehovah blessed Obed-Edom and all his household. 2 Sam. 6:11
And it was told king David, saying, Jehovah has blessed the house of Obed-Edom, and all that is his, because of the ark of God. And David went and brought up the ark of God from the house of Obed-Edom into the city of David with joy. 2 Sam. 6:12
And it was so, that when they that bore the ark of Jehovah had gone six paces, he sacrificed an ox and a fatted beast. 2 Sam. 6:13
And David and all the house of Israel brought up the ark of Jehovah with shouting, and with the sound of the trumpet. 2 Sam. 6:15
And as the ark of Jehovah came into the city of David, Michal the daughter of Saul looked through a window, and saw king David leaping and dancing before Jehovah; and she despised him in her heart. 2 Sam. 6:16
And they brought in the ark of Jehovah, and set it in its place, in the midst of the tent that David had spread for it. And David offered up burnt-offerings and peace-offerings before Jehovah. 2 Sam. 6:17
And when David had ended offering up the burnt-offerings and the peace-offerings, he blessed the people in the name of Jehovah of hosts. 2 Sam. 6:18
And he dealt to all the people, to the whole multitude of Israel, both men and women, to every one a cake of bread, and a measure of wine, and a raisin-cake. And all the people departed every one to his house. 2 Sam. 6:19
And David returned to bless his household. And Michal the daughter of Saul came out to meet David, and said, How honourable did the king of Israel make himself to-day, who uncovered himself to-day in the eyes of the handmaids of his servants, as one of the lewd fellows shamelessly uncovers himself! 2 Sam. 6:20
And David said to Michal, It was before Jehovah, who chose me rather than thy father, and than all his house, to appoint me ruler over the people of Jehovah, over Israel; and I played before Jehovah. 2 Sam. 6:21
And I will make myself yet more vile than thus, and will be base in mine own sight; and of the handmaids that thou hast spoken of, of them shall I be had in honour. 2 Sam. 6:22
And Michal the daughter of Saul had no child to the day of her death. 2 Sam. 6:23
And it came to pass when the king dwelt in his house, and Jehovah had given him rest round about from all his enemies, 2 Sam. 7:1
that the king said to Nathan the prophet, See now, I dwell in a house of cedars, and the ark of God dwells under curtains. 2 Sam. 7:2
And Nathan said to the king, Go, do all that is in thy heart; for Jehovah is with thee. 2 Sam. 7:3
And it came to pass that night that the word of Jehovah came to Nathan, saying, 2 Sam. 7:4
For I have not dwelt in a house since the day that I brought up the children of Israel out of Egypt, even to this day, but I went about in a tent and in a tabernacle. 2 Sam. 7:6
In all my going about with all the children of Israel, did I speak a word with any of the tribes of Israel, whom I commanded to feed my people Israel, saying, Why build ye me not a house of cedars? 2 Sam. 7:7
And now, thus shalt thou say unto my servant David, Thus saith Jehovah of hosts: I took thee from the pasture-grounds, from following the sheep, to be prince over my people, over Israel; 2 Sam. 7:8
and I have been with thee whithersoever thou wentest, and have cut off all thine enemies from before thee, and have made thee a great name, like unto the name of the great men that are on the earth. 2 Sam. 7:9
And I will appoint a place for my people, for Israel, and will plant them, that they may dwell in a place of their own, and be disturbed no more; neither shall the sons of wickedness afflict them any more, as formerly, 2 Sam. 7:10
and since the time that I commanded judges to be over my people Israel. And I have given thee rest from all thine enemies; and Jehovah telleth thee that Jehovah will make thee a house. 2 Sam. 7:11
It is he who shall build a house for my name, and I will establish the throne of his kingdom for ever. 2 Sam. 7:13
I will be his father, and he shall be my son. If he commit iniquity, I will chasten him with the rod of men and with the stripes of the sons of men; 2 Sam. 7:14
And yet this hath been a small thing in thy sight, Lord Jehovah; but thou hast spoken also of thy servant's house for a great while to come. And is this the manner of man, Lord Jehovah? 2 Sam. 7:19
And who is like thy people, like Israel, the one nation in the earth that God went to redeem to be a people to himself, and to make himself a name, and to do for them great things and terrible, for thy land, before thy people, which thou redeemedst to thyself from Egypt, from the nations and their gods? 2 Sam. 7:23
And now, Jehovah Elohim, the word that thou hast spoken concerning thy servant and concerning his house, fulfil it for ever, and do as thou hast said. 2 Sam. 7:25
And let thy name be magnified for ever, saying, Jehovah of hosts is God over Israel; and let the house of thy servant David be established before thee. 2 Sam. 7:26
For thou, Jehovah of hosts, the God of Israel, hast revealed to thy servant, saying, I will build thee a house; therefore hath thy servant found in his heart to pray this prayer unto thee. 2 Sam. 7:27
and now let it please thee to bless the house of thy servant, that it may be before thee for ever; for thou, Lord Jehovah, hast spoken it; and with thy blessing shall the house of thy servant be blessed for ever. 2 Sam. 7:29
And after this it came to pass that David smote the Philistines, and subdued them; and David took the power of the capital out of the hand of the Philistines. 2 Sam. 8:1
And he smote the Moabites, and measured them with a line, making them lie down on the ground; and he measured two lines to put to death, and one full line to keep alive. And the Moabites became David's servants, and brought gifts. 2 Sam. 8:2
And David smote Hadadezer, the son of Rehob, king of Zobah, as he went to recover his dominion by the river Euphrates. 2 Sam. 8:3
And David took from him one thousand seven hundred horsemen, and twenty thousand footmen; and David houghed all the chariot horses, but reserved of them for a hundred chariots. 2 Sam. 8:4
And the Syrians of Damascus came to help Hadadezer king of Zobah, and David smote of the Syrians twenty-two thousand men. 2 Sam. 8:5
And David put garrisons in Syria of Damascus; and the Syrians became servants to David, and brought gifts. And Jehovah preserved David whithersoever he went. 2 Sam. 8:6
And David took the shields of gold that were on the servants of Hadadezer, and brought them to Jerusalem. 2 Sam. 8:7
And Toi king of Hamath heard that David had smitten all the forces of Hadadezer; 2 Sam. 8:9
Them also king David dedicated to Jehovah, with the silver and the gold that he had dedicated of all the nations that he had subdued: 2 Sam. 8:11
of the Syrians, and of the Moabites, and of the children of Ammon, and of the Philistines, and of the Amalekites, and of the spoil of Hadadezer, the son of Rehob, king of Zobah. 2 Sam. 8:12
And David made him a name when he returned, after he had smitten the Syrians in the valley of salt, eighteen thousand men. 2 Sam. 8:13
And Joab the son of Zeruiah was over the host; and Jehoshaphat the son of Ahilud was chronicler; 2 Sam. 8:16
and Zadok the son of Ahitub, and Ahimelech the son of Abiathar, were the priests; and Seraiah was scribe; 2 Sam. 8:17
and Benaiah the son of Jehoiada was over the Cherethites and the Pelethites; and David's sons were chief rulers. 2 Sam. 8:18
And David said, Is there yet any that is left of the house of Saul, that I may shew him kindness for Jonathan's sake? 2 Sam. 9:1
And there was of the house of Saul a servant whose name was Ziba; and they called him to David. And the king said to him, Art thou Ziba? And he said, Thy servant! 2 Sam. 9:2
And the king said, Is there not yet any of the house of Saul, that I may shew the kindness of God to him? And Ziba said to the king, Jonathan has yet a son, who is lame on his feet. 2 Sam. 9:3
And the king said to him, Where is he? And Ziba said to the king, Behold, he is in the house of Machir the son of Ammiel, in Lodebar. 2 Sam. 9:4
And king David sent, and fetched him out of the house of Machir the son of Ammiel, from Lodebar. 2 Sam. 9:5
And Mephibosheth, the son of Jonathan, the son of Saul, came to David, and fell on his face and did obeisance. And David said, Mephibosheth. And he said, Behold thy servant! 2 Sam. 9:6
And David said to him, Fear not; for I will certainly shew thee kindness for Jonathan thy father's sake, and will restore thee all the land of Saul thy father; and thou shalt eat bread at my table continually. 2 Sam. 9:7
Then the king called Ziba, Saul's servant, and said to him, I have given to thy master's son all that belonged to Saul and to all his house. 2 Sam. 9:9
And thou, and thy sons, and thy servants, shall till the land for him, and thou shalt bring in the fruits, that thy master's son may have food to eat. And Mephibosheth thy master's son shall eat bread at my table continually. Now Ziba had fifteen sons and twenty servants. 2 Sam. 9:10
And Ziba said to the king, According to all that my lord the king has commanded his servant, so will thy servant do. And Mephibosheth said David shall eat at my table, as one of the king's sons. 2 Sam. 9:11
And Mephibosheth had a young son, whose name was Mica. And all who dwelt in the house of Ziba were servants to Mephibosheth. 2 Sam. 9:12
So Mephibosheth dwelt in Jerusalem; for he did eat continually at the king's table. And he was lame on both his feet. 2 Sam. 9:13
And it came to pass after this that the king of the children of Ammon died, and Hanun his son reigned in his stead. 2 Sam. 10:1
And David said, I will shew kindness to Hanun the son of Nahash, as his father shewed kindness to me. And David sent to comfort him by the hand of his servants for his father. And David's servants came into the land of the children of Ammon. 2 Sam. 10:2
And the princes of the children of Ammon said to Hanun their lord, Is it, in thine eyes, to honour thy father that David has sent comforters to thee? Is it not to search the city and to spy it out, and to overthrow it, that David has sent his servants to thee? 2 Sam. 10:3
And Hanun took David's servants, and had the one half of their beards shaved off, and their raiment cut off in the midst, as far as their buttocks, and sent them away. 2 Sam. 10:4
And they told it to David; and he sent to meet them, for the men were greatly ashamed. And the king said, Abide at Jericho until your beards be grown, and then return. 2 Sam. 10:5
And the children of Ammon saw that they had made themselves odious to David; and the children of Ammon sent and hired the Syrians of Beth-Rehob, and the Syrians of Zoba, twenty thousand footmen, and the king of Maacah with a thousand men, and the men of Tob twelve thousand men. 2 Sam. 10:6
And David heard of it, and he sent Joab, and all the host, the mighty men. 2 Sam. 10:7
And the children of Ammon came out, and put the battle in array at the entrance of the gate; and the Syrians of Zoba and of Rehob, and the men of Tob and Maacah were by themselves in the field. 2 Sam. 10:8
And Joab saw that the front of the battle was against him before and behind; and he chose out of all the choice men of Israel, and put them in array against the Syrians; 2 Sam. 10:9
and the rest of the people he gave into the hand of Abishai his brother that he might array them against the children of Ammon. 2 Sam. 10:10
And he said, If the Syrians be too strong for me, then thou shalt help me; and if the children of Ammon be too strong for thee, then I will come and help thee. 2 Sam. 10:11
Be strong, and let us shew ourselves valiant for our people and for the cities of our God; and Jehovah do what is good in his sight. 2 Sam. 10:12
And Joab drew near, and the people that were with him, unto the battle against the Syrians; and they fled before him. 2 Sam. 10:13
And when the children of Ammon saw that the Syrians fled, they fled before Abishai, and entered into the city. And Joab returned from the children of Ammon, and came to Jerusalem. 2 Sam. 10:14
And when the Syrians saw that they were routed before Israel, they gathered themselves together. 2 Sam. 10:15
And Hadarezer sent, and drew forth the Syrians that were beyond the river; and they came to Helam; and Shobach the captain of the host of Hadarezer went before them. 2 Sam. 10:16
And it was told David; and he gathered all Israel, and passed over the Jordan, and came to Helam. And the Syrians set themselves in array against David, and fought with him. 2 Sam. 10:17
And the Syrians fled before Israel; and David slew of the Syrians seven hundred in chariots, and forty thousand horsemen, and smote Shobach the captain of their host, who died there. 2 Sam. 10:18
And all the kings that were servants to Hadarezer saw that they were routed before Israel, and they made peace with Israel, and served them. And the Syrians feared to help the children of Ammon any more. 2 Sam. 10:19
And it came to pass, at the return of the year, at the time when kings go forth, that David sent Joab, and his servants with him, and all Israel; and they laid waste the land of the children of Ammon, and besieged Rabbah. But David abode at Jerusalem. 2 Sam. 11:1
And it came to pass at evening time that David arose from off his couch, and walked upon the roof of the king's house; and from the roof he saw a woman bathing, and the woman was very beautiful; 2 Sam. 11:2
and David sent and inquired after the woman. And one said, Is not this Bathsheba, the daughter of Eliam, the wife of Urijah the Hittite? 2 Sam. 11:3
And the woman conceived, and sent and told David, and said, I am with child. 2 Sam. 11:5
And David sent to Joab saying, Send me Urijah the Hittite. And Joab sent Urijah to David. 2 Sam. 11:6
And when Urijah had come to him, David asked how Joab prospered, and how the people prospered, and how the war prospered. 2 Sam. 11:7
And David said to Urijah, Go down to thy house and wash thy feet. And Urijah departed out of the king's house, and there followed him presents from the king. 2 Sam. 11:8
And Urijah slept at the entrance of the king's house with all the servants of his lord, and went not down to his house. 2 Sam. 11:9
And Urijah said to David, The ark, and Israel, and Judah abide in booths; and my lord Joab, and the servants of my lord, are encamped in the open fields: shall I then go into my house, to eat and to drink, and to lie with my wife? As thou livest, and as thy soul liveth, I will not do this thing. 2 Sam. 11:11
And David said to Urijah, Abide here to-day also, and to-morrow I will let thee depart. And Urijah abode in Jerusalem that day and the morrow. 2 Sam. 11:12
And David invited him, and he ate and drank before him; and he made him drunk. And in the evening he went out to lie on his couch with the servants of his lord, but did not go down to his house. 2 Sam. 11:13
And it came to pass in the morning, that David wrote a letter to Joab, and sent it by Urijah. 2 Sam. 11:14
And he wrote in the letter saying, Set Urijah in the front of the thickest fight, and withdraw from him, that he may be smitten and die. 2 Sam. 11:15
And it came to pass as Joab watched the city, that he assigned Urijah to a place where he knew that the valiant men were. 2 Sam. 11:16
And the men of the city went out and fought with Joab; and there fell some of the people, of the servants of David; and Urijah the Hittite died also. 2 Sam. 11:17
Then Joab sent and told David all the matters of the war; 2 Sam. 11:18
and charged the messenger, saying, When thou hast ended telling the matters of the war to the king, 2 Sam. 11:19
and if so be that the king's wrath arise, and he say to thee, Why did ye go so near to the city to fight? did ye not know that they would shoot from the wall? 2 Sam. 11:20
Who smote Abimelech the son of Jerubbesheth? did not a woman cast the upper stone of a handmill from the wall, that he died in Thebez? why did ye go near the wall? -- then say thou, Thy servant Urijah the Hittite is dead also. 2 Sam. 11:21
And the messenger went; and he came and told David all that Joab had sent him for. 2 Sam. 11:22
And the messenger said to David, The men prevailed against us, and came out against us into the field, and we were upon them as far as the entrance of the gate. 2 Sam. 11:23
And the shooters shot from upon the wall against thy servants; and some of the king's servants are dead, and thy servant Urijah the Hittite is dead also. 2 Sam. 11:24
Then David said to the messenger, Thus shalt thou say to Joab: Let not this thing displease thee, for the sword devours one as well as another: make thy battle strong against the city, and overthrow it; -- and encourage him. 2 Sam. 11:25
And the wife of Urijah heard that Urijah her husband was dead, and she mourned for her husband. 2 Sam. 11:26
And when the mourning was past, David sent and fetched her to his house, and she became his wife, and bore him a son. But the thing that David had done was evil in the sight of Jehovah. 2 Sam. 11:27
And Jehovah sent Nathan to David. And he came to him, and said to him, There were two men in one city; the one rich, and the other poor. 2 Sam. 12:1
The rich had very many flocks and herds; 2 Sam. 12:2
but the poor man had nothing at all, but one little ewe lamb which he had bought, and was nourishing; and it grew up with him, and together with his children: it ate of his morsel, and drank of his own cup, and slept in his bosom, and was to him as a daughter. 2 Sam. 12:3
And there came a traveller to the rich man, and he spared to take of his own flock and of his own herd, to dress for the wayfaring man that had come to him; and he took the poor man's lamb, and dressed it for the man that had come to him. 2 Sam. 12:4
Then David's anger was greatly kindled against the man; and he said to Nathan, As Jehovah liveth, the man that hath done this thing is worthy of death; 2 Sam. 12:5
and he shall restore the lamb fourfold, because he did this thing, and because he had no pity. 2 Sam. 12:6
And Nathan said to David, Thou art the man! Thus saith Jehovah the God of Israel: I anointed thee king over Israel, and I delivered thee out of the hand of Saul; 2 Sam. 12:7
and I gave thee thy master's house, and thy master's wives into thy bosom, and gave thee the house of Israel and of Judah; and if that had been too little, I would moreover have given unto thee such and such things. 2 Sam. 12:8
Wherefore hast thou despised the word of Jehovah to do evil in his sight? thou hast smitten Urijah the Hittite with the sword, and hast taken his wife to be thy wife, and hast slain him with the sword of the children of Ammon. 2 Sam. 12:9
Now therefore the sword shall never depart from thy house; because thou hast despised me, and hast taken the wife of Urijah the Hittite to be thy wife. 2 Sam. 12:10
Thus saith Jehovah: Behold, I will raise up evil against thee out of thine own house, and I will take thy wives before thine eyes, and give them unto thy neighbour, and he shall lie with thy wives in the sight of this sun. 2 Sam. 12:11
For thou didst it secretly; but I will do this thing before all Israel and before the sun. 2 Sam. 12:12
Howbeit, because by this deed thou hast given great occasion to the enemies of Jehovah to blaspheme, even the child that is born to thee shall certainly die. 2 Sam. 12:14
And Nathan departed to his house. And Jehovah smote the child that Urijah's wife bore to David, and it became very sick. 2 Sam. 12:15
And David besought God for the child; and David fasted, and went in, and lay all night on the earth. 2 Sam. 12:16
And the elders of his house arose, and went to him, to raise him up from the earth; but he would not, and he ate no bread with them. 2 Sam. 12:17
And it came to pass on the seventh day, that the child died. And the servants of David feared to tell him that the child was dead; for they said, Behold, while the child was yet alive, we spoke to him, and he would not hearken to our voice; and how shall we say to him, The child is dead? he may do some harm. 2 Sam. 12:18
But David saw that his servants whispered, and David perceived that the child was dead; and David said to his servants, Is the child dead? And they said, He is dead. 2 Sam. 12:19
Then David arose from the earth, and washed, and anointed himself, and changed his clothing, and entered into the house of Jehovah and worshipped; then he came to his own house and required them to set bread before him, and he ate. 2 Sam. 12:20
And his servants said to him, What thing is this which thou hast done? thou didst fast and weep for the child alive; but as soon as the child is dead, thou dost rise and eat bread. 2 Sam. 12:21
And he said, While the child was yet alive, I fasted and wept; for I thought, Who knows? perhaps Jehovah will be gracious to me, that the child may live. 2 Sam. 12:22
And he sent by the hand of Nathan the prophet; and he called his name Jedidiah, for Jehovah's sake. 2 Sam. 12:25
And Joab fought against Rabbah of the children of Ammon, and took the royal city. 2 Sam. 12:26
And Joab sent messengers to David, and said, I have fought against Rabbah, and have taken the city of waters. 2 Sam. 12:27
And now gather the rest of the people, and encamp against the city and take it: lest I take the city and it be called by my name. 2 Sam. 12:28
And David gathered all the people, and went to Rabbah, and fought against it and took it. 2 Sam. 12:29
And he took the crown of their king from off his head, the weight of which was a talent of gold with the precious stones; and it was set on David's head; and he brought forth the spoil of the city in great abundance. 2 Sam. 12:30
And he brought out the people that were in it, and put them under the saw, and under harrows of iron, and under axes of iron, and made them pass through the brickkilns. And so did he to all the cities of the children of Ammon. And David and all the people returned to Jerusalem. 2 Sam. 12:31
And it came to pass after this, that Absalom the son of David having a beautiful sister, whose name was Tamar, Amnon the son of David loved her. 2 Sam. 13:1
And Amnon was so vexed, that he fell sick for his sister Tamar; for she was a virgin; and it seemed difficult for Amnon to do the least thing to her. 2 Sam. 13:2
And Amnon had a friend whose name was Jonadab, the son of Shimeah David's brother; and Jonadab was a very shrewd man. 2 Sam. 13:3
And he said to him, Why dost thou, the king's son, get thinner from morning to morning? Wilt thou not tell me? And Amnon said to him, I love Tamar, my brother Absalom's sister. 2 Sam. 13:4
And Jonadab said to him, Lay thee down on thy bed and feign thyself sick; and when thy father comes to see thee, say to him, I pray thee, let my sister Tamar come, and give me food, and dress the food in my sight, that I may see it, and eat it from her hand. 2 Sam. 13:5
So Amnon lay down and feigned himself sick; and the king came to see him, and Amnon said to the king, I pray thee, let Tamar my sister come, and make a couple of cakes in my sight, that I may eat from her hand. 2 Sam. 13:6
And Tamar went to her brother Amnon's house; and he had lain down. And she took flour and kneaded it, and made cakes in his sight, and baked the cakes. 2 Sam. 13:8
And she took the pan, and poured them out before him; but he refused to eat. And Amnon said, Put every man out from me. And they went out every man from him. 2 Sam. 13:9
And Amnon said to Tamar, Bring the dish into the chamber, that I may eat of thy hand. And Tamar took the cakes that she had made, and brought them into the chamber to Amnon her brother. 2 Sam. 13:10
And I, whither shall I carry my reproach? and thou wouldest be as one of the infamous in Israel. And now, I pray thee, speak to the king; for he will not withhold me from thee. 2 Sam. 13:13
And Amnon hated her with an exceeding great hatred, for the hatred with which he hated her was greater than the love with which he had loved her. And Amnon said to her, Arise, be gone. 2 Sam. 13:15
And she said to him, There is no cause for this evil in sending me away, which is greater than the other that thou didst to me. But he would not hearken to her. 2 Sam. 13:16
Then he called his young man that attended upon him, and said, Put now this woman out from me, and bolt the door after her. 2 Sam. 13:17
Now she had a vest of many colours upon her; for so were the king's daughters that were virgins apparelled. And his attendant brought her out, and bolted the door after her. 2 Sam. 13:18
And it came to pass after two full years, that Absalom had sheepshearers in Baal-Hazor, which is beside Ephraim; and Absalom invited all the king's sons. 2 Sam. 13:23
And Absalom came to the king, and said, Behold, now, thy servant has sheepshearers; let the king, I pray thee, and his servants go with thy servant. 2 Sam. 13:24
And the king said to Absalom, No, my son, let us not all go, lest we be burdensome to thee. And he urged him, but he would not go; and he blessed him. 2 Sam. 13:25
And Absalom said, If not, I pray thee, let my brother Amnon go with us. And the king said to him, Why should he go with thee? 2 Sam. 13:26
But Absalom pressed him; and he let Amnon and all the king's sons go with him. 2 Sam. 13:27
And the servants of Absalom did to Amnon as Absalom had commanded. Then all the king's sons arose, and they rode each upon his mule and fled. 2 Sam. 13:29
And it came to pass, while they were in the way, that tidings came to David, saying, Absalom has smitten all the king's sons, and there is not one of them left. 2 Sam. 13:30
Then the king arose, and rent his garments, and lay on the earth; and all his servants stood by with their garments rent. 2 Sam. 13:31
And Jonadab, the son of Shimeah David's brother, answered and said, Let not my lord suppose that they have slain all the young men the king's sons; for Amnon only is dead; for by the appointment of Absalom this has been determined from the day that he humbled his sister Tamar. 2 Sam. 13:32
And now let not my lord the king take the thing to heart, to say, All the king's sons are dead; for Amnon only is dead. 2 Sam. 13:33
And Absalom fled. And the young man that watched lifted up his eyes and looked, and behold, there came much people from the way behind him, from the hill-side. 2 Sam. 13:34
And Jonadab said to the king, Behold, the king's sons come: as thy servant said, so it is. 2 Sam. 13:35
And as soon as he had ended speaking, behold, the king's sons came, and lifted up their voice and wept; and the king also and all his servants wept very bitterly. 2 Sam. 13:36
And Absalom fled, and went to Talmai, the son of Ammihud, king of Geshur. And David mourned for his son every day. 2 Sam. 13:37
And Joab the son of Zeruiah perceived that the king's heart was toward Absalom. 2 Sam. 14:1
And Joab sent to Tekoah, and fetched thence a wise woman, and said to her, I pray thee, feign thyself to be a mourner, and put on mourning garments, I pray, and anoint not thyself with oil, but be as a woman that hath a long time mourned for the dead; 2 Sam. 14:2
and come to the king, and speak after this manner to him. And Joab put the words into her mouth. 2 Sam. 14:3
And the woman of Tekoah spoke to the king, and she fell on her face to the ground and did obeisance, and said, Save, O king! 2 Sam. 14:4
And the king said to her, What aileth thee? And she said, I am indeed a widow woman, and my husband is dead. 2 Sam. 14:5
And thy bondmaid had two sons, and they two strove together in the field, and there was none to part them, but the one smote the other and slew him. 2 Sam. 14:6
And behold, the whole family is risen against thy bondmaid, and they say, Deliver him that smote his brother, that we may put him to death, for the life of his brother whom he killed; and we will destroy the heir also: so they will quench my coal which is left, and will not leave to my husband a name or remnant on the earth. 2 Sam. 14:7
And the king said to the woman, Go to thy house, and I will give charge concerning thee. 2 Sam. 14:8
And the woman of Tekoah said to the king, Upon me, my lord, O king, be the iniquity, and upon my father's house; and the king and his throne be guiltless. 2 Sam. 14:9
And the king said, Whoever speaks to thee, bring him to me, and he shall not touch thee any more. 2 Sam. 14:10
Then she said, I pray thee, let the king remember Jehovah thy God, that thou wouldest not suffer the revengers of blood to destroy any more, lest they cut off my son. And he said, As Jehovah liveth, there shall not one hair of thy son fall to the earth. 2 Sam. 14:11
And the woman said, Let thy bondmaid, I pray thee, speak a word to my lord the king. And he said, Speak. 2 Sam. 14:12
And the woman said, Why then hast thou thought such a thing against God's people? and the king in saying this thing, is as one guilty, in that the king does not bring back his banished one. 2 Sam. 14:13
For we must needs die, and are as water spilt on the ground, which cannot be gathered up again; and God has not taken away his life, but devises means that the banished one be not expelled from him. 2 Sam. 14:14
And now that I am come to speak of this thing to my lord the king, it is because the people have made me afraid; and thy bondmaid said, I will now speak to the king; perhaps the king will perform the request of his handmaid. 2 Sam. 14:15
For the king will hear, to deliver his handmaid out of the hand of the man that would destroy me and my son together out of the inheritance of God. 2 Sam. 14:16
And thy bondmaid said, Let the word of my lord the king now be comfortable; for as an angel of God, so is my lord the king to discern good and bad; and Jehovah thy God will be with thee. 2 Sam. 14:17
And the king answered and said to the woman, Hide not from me, I pray thee, the thing that I shall ask thee. And the woman said, Let my lord the king now speak. 2 Sam. 14:18
And the king said, Is the hand of Joab with thee in all this? And the woman answered and said, As thy soul liveth, my lord, O king, there is no turning to the right hand or to the left from aught that my lord the king has spoken; for thy servant Joab, he bade me, and he put all these words into the mouth of thy bondmaid: 2 Sam. 14:19
in order to turn the appearance of the thing has thy servant Joab done this thing; but my lord is wise, according to the wisdom of an angel of God, to know all that is in the earth. 2 Sam. 14:20
And the king said to Joab, Behold now, I have done this thing: so go, bring back the young man Absalom. 2 Sam. 14:21
And Joab fell to the ground on his face and bowed himself, and blessed the king; and Joab said, To-day thy servant knows that I have found favour in thy sight, my lord, O king, in that the king has fulfilled the request of his servant. 2 Sam. 14:22
And the king said, Let him turn to his own house, and let him not see my face. And Absalom withdrew to his own house, and saw not the king's face. 2 Sam. 14:24
But in all Israel there was none to be so much praised as Absalom for his beauty: from the sole of his foot even to the crown of his head there was no blemish in him. 2 Sam. 14:25
And when he shaved his head (for it was at every year's end that he shaved it, because it was heavy on him, therefore he shaved it), he weighed the hair of his head at two hundred shekels after the king's weight. 2 Sam. 14:26
So Absalom dwelt two full years in Jerusalem, and did not see the king's face. 2 Sam. 14:28
Then Absalom sent for Joab, to send him to the king; but he would not come to him; and he sent again the second time, but he would not come. 2 Sam. 14:29
Then he said to his servants, See, Joab's allotment is near mine and he has barley there: go and set it on fire. And Absalom's servants set the allotment on fire. 2 Sam. 14:30
And Absalom said to Joab, Behold, I sent to thee, saying, Come hither, that I may send thee to the king, to say, Why am I come from Geshur? it would have been better for me to be there still. And now let me see the king's face; and if there be iniquity in me, let him slay me. 2 Sam. 14:32
And Joab came to the king, and told him. And he called Absalom, and he came to the king, and bowed himself on his face to the ground before the king; and the king kissed Absalom. 2 Sam. 14:33
And Absalom rose early, and stood beside the way of the gate; and it was so, that when any man who had a controversy had to come to the king for judgment, then Absalom called him, and said, Of what city art thou? And he said, Thy servant is of one of the tribes of Israel. 2 Sam. 15:2
And Absalom said to him, See, thy matters are good and right; but there is no man to hear thee appointed by the king. 2 Sam. 15:3
And Absalom said, Oh that I were made judge in the land, that every man who has any controversy and cause might come to me, and I would do him justice! 2 Sam. 15:4
And in this manner did Absalom to all Israel that came to the king for judgment; and Absalom stole the hearts of the men of Israel. 2 Sam. 15:6
And it came to pass at the end of forty years, that Absalom said to the king, I pray thee, let me go and pay in Hebron my vow which I have vowed to Jehovah. 2 Sam. 15:7
And the king said to him, Go in peace. And he rose up and went to Hebron. 2 Sam. 15:9
And Absalom sent emissaries into all the tribes of Israel, saying, When ye hear the sound of the trumpet, ye shall say, Absalom reigns in Hebron. 2 Sam. 15:10
And Absalom sent for Ahithophel the Gilonite, David's counsellor, from his city, from Giloh, while he offered the sacrifices. And the conspiracy gathered strength; and the people increased continually with Absalom. 2 Sam. 15:12
And there came one to David who reported saying, The hearts of the men of Israel are after Absalom. 2 Sam. 15:13
And David said to all his servants that were with him at Jerusalem, Rise up and let us flee; for we shall not else escape from Absalom. Be quick to depart, lest he overtake us quickly, and bring evil upon us, and smite the city with the edge of the sword. 2 Sam. 15:14
And the king's servants said to the king, Behold, thy servants will do whatever my lord the king shall choose. 2 Sam. 15:15
And the king went forth, and all his household after him, and the king left ten women, concubines, to keep the house. 2 Sam. 15:16
And the king went forth, and all the people after him, and stayed at the remote house. 2 Sam. 15:17
And all his servants passed on beside him; and all the Cherethites, and all the Pelethites, and all the Gittites, six hundred men that came after him from Gath, passed over before the king. 2 Sam. 15:18
And the king said to Ittai the Gittite, Why dost thou also go with us? return to thy place, and abide with the king; for thou art a foreigner, and besides, thou hast emigrated to the place where thou dwellest. 2 Sam. 15:19
And Ittai answered the king and said, As Jehovah liveth, and as my lord the king liveth, surely in what place my lord the king shall be, whether in death or life, even there also will thy servant be. 2 Sam. 15:21
And David said to Ittai, Go and pass over. And Ittai the Gittite passed over, and all his men, and all the little ones that were with him. 2 Sam. 15:22
And all the country wept with a loud voice, and all the people passed over; the king also himself passed over the torrent Kidron, and all the people passed over, towards the way of the wilderness. 2 Sam. 15:23
And behold, Zadok also, and all the Levites with him, bearing the ark of the covenant of God; and they set down the ark of God; and Abiathar went up, until all the people had passed completely out of the city. 2 Sam. 15:24
And the king said to Zadok, Carry back the ark of God into the city. If I shall find favour in the eyes of Jehovah, he will bring me again, and shew me it, and its habitation. 2 Sam. 15:25
And the king said to Zadok the priest, Thou art the seer: return into the city in peace, and your two sons with you, Ahimaaz thy son, and Jonathan the son of Abiathar. 2 Sam. 15:27
See, I will stop in the plains of the desert, until there come word from you to inform me. 2 Sam. 15:28
And Zadok and Abiathar carried the ark of God again to Jerusalem; and they abode there. 2 Sam. 15:29
But David went up by the ascent of the Olives, and wept as he went up, and had his head covered, and he went barefoot; and all the people that was with him covered every man his head, and they went up, weeping as they went up. 2 Sam. 15:30
And one told David saying, Ahithophel is among the conspirators with Absalom. Then said David, Jehovah, I pray thee, turn the counsel of Ahithophel into foolishness. 2 Sam. 15:31
And it came to pass, when David had come to the summit, where he worshipped God, that behold, Hushai the Archite came to meet him with his coat rent, and earth upon his head. 2 Sam. 15:32
but if thou return to the city, and say to Absalom, I will be thy servant, O king; as I have been thy father's servant hitherto, so now will I be thy servant; then mayest thou for me defeat the counsel of Ahithophel. 2 Sam. 15:34
And hast thou not there with thee Zadok and Abiathar the priests? and it shall be, that whatsoever thing thou shalt hear out of the king's house, thou shalt tell it to Zadok and Abiathar the priests. 2 Sam. 15:35
And Hushai David's friend came into the city, and Absalom came into Jerusalem. 2 Sam. 15:37
And when David was a little past the summit, behold, Ziba, Mephibosheth's servant, met him, with a couple of asses saddled, and upon them two hundred loaves of bread, and a hundred raisin-cakes, and a hundred cakes of summer fruits, and a flask of wine. 2 Sam. 16:1
And the king said to Ziba, What meanest thou by these? And Ziba said, The asses are for the king's household to ride on; and the bread and summer fruits for the young men to eat; and the wine, that such as are faint in the wilderness may drink. 2 Sam. 16:2
And the king said, And where is thy master's son? And Ziba said to the king, Behold, he abides at Jerusalem; for he said, To-day shall the house of Israel restore me the kingdom of my father. 2 Sam. 16:3
And the king said to Ziba, Behold, thine are all that pertained to Mephibosheth. And Ziba said, I humbly bow myself: may I find favour in thy sight, my lord, O king. 2 Sam. 16:4
And when king David came to Bahurim, behold, there came out from thence a man of the family of the house of Saul, whose name was Shimei, the son of Gera: he came forth, and cursed, 2 Sam. 16:5
and cast stones at David, and at all the servants of king David; and all the people and all the mighty men were on his right hand and on his left. 2 Sam. 16:6
Jehovah has returned upon thee all the blood of the house of Saul, in whose stead thou hast reigned; and Jehovah has given the kingdom into the hand of Absalom thy son; and behold, thou art taken in thine own evil, for thou art a man of blood. 2 Sam. 16:8
And Abishai the son of Zeruiah said to the king, Why should this dead dog curse my lord the king? let me go over, I pray thee, and take off his head. 2 Sam. 16:9
And the king said, What have I to do with you, ye sons of Zeruiah? so let him curse, for Jehovah has said to him, Curse David! Who shall then say, Why dost thou so? 2 Sam. 16:10
And David and his men went by the way; and Shimei went along on the hill's side over against him, and cursed as he went, and threw stones at him, and cast dust. 2 Sam. 16:13
And the king, and all the people that were with him, came weary, and refreshed themselves there. 2 Sam. 16:14
Now Absalom, and all the people, the men of Israel, came to Jerusalem, and Ahithophel with him. 2 Sam. 16:15
And it came to pass, when Hushai the Archite, David's friend, came to Absalom, that Hushai said to Absalom, Long live the king! Long live the king! 2 Sam. 16:16
And Hushai said to Absalom, No; but whom Jehovah, and this people, and all the men of Israel choose, his will I be, and with him will I abide. 2 Sam. 16:18
And again, whom should I serve? should it not be in the presence of his son? as I have served in thy father's presence, so will I be in thy presence. 2 Sam. 16:19
And Ahithophel said to Absalom, Go in to thy father's concubines, whom he has left to keep the house; and all Israel shall hear that thou art become odious with thy father; and the hands of all that are with thee shall be strong. 2 Sam. 16:21
So they spread a tent for Absalom upon the roof; and Absalom went in to his father's concubines in the sight of all Israel. 2 Sam. 16:22
And the counsel of Ahithophel, which he counselled in those days, was as if a man had inquired of the word of God: so was all the counsel of Ahithophel both with David and with Absalom. 2 Sam. 16:23
and I will come upon him while he is weary and weak-handed, and will make him afraid; and all the people that are with him shall flee; and I will smite the king only; 2 Sam. 17:2
and I will bring back all the people to thee. The man whom thou seekest is as if all returned: all the people shall be in peace. 2 Sam. 17:3
And the saying was right in the eyes of Absalom, and in the eyes of all the elders of Israel. 2 Sam. 17:4
And Absalom said, Call now Hushai the Archite also, and we will hear also what he says. 2 Sam. 17:5
And Hushai said to Absalom, The counsel that Ahithophel has given this time is not good. 2 Sam. 17:7
And Hushai said, Thou knowest thy father and his men, that they are mighty men, and they are of exasperated spirit, as a bear robbed of her whelps in the field; and thy father is a man of war, and will not lodge with the people. 2 Sam. 17:8
Behold, he is hid now in some pit, or some such place; and it will come to pass, when some of them fall at the first, whoever heareth it will say, There has been slaughter among the people that follow Absalom, 2 Sam. 17:9
and even the valiant man whose heart is as the heart of a lion shall utterly melt; for all Israel knows that thy father is a mighty man, and they that are with him are valiant men. 2 Sam. 17:10
But I counsel that all Israel be speedily gathered to thee, from Dan even to Beer-sheba, as the sand that is by the sea for multitude; and that thou go to battle in thine own person. 2 Sam. 17:11
And we shall come upon him in some place where he shall be found, and we will light upon him as the dew falls on the ground; and of him and of all the men that are with him there shall not be left so much as one. 2 Sam. 17:12
And if he withdraw into a city, then shall all Israel bring ropes to that city, and we will draw it into the torrent, until there be not one small stone found there. 2 Sam. 17:13
And Absalom and all the men of Israel said, The counsel of Hushai the Archite is better than the counsel of Ahithophel. And Jehovah had appointed to defeat the good counsel of Ahithophel, in order that Jehovah might bring evil upon Absalom. 2 Sam. 17:14
And Hushai said to Zadok and to Abiathar the priests, Thus and thus did Ahithophel counsel Absalom and the elders of Israel; and thus and thus have I counselled. 2 Sam. 17:15
And now send quickly, and tell David saying, Lodge not this night in the plains of the wilderness, but speedily pass over; lest the king be swallowed up, and all the people that are with him. 2 Sam. 17:16
And Jonathan and Ahimaaz stayed by En-rogel; and the maid went and told them; and they went and told king David, for they might not be seen to come into the city. 2 Sam. 17:17
But a lad saw them, and told Absalom. Then they went both of them away quickly, and came to the house of a man at Bahurim, who had a well in his court; and they went down there. 2 Sam. 17:18
And the woman took and spread the covering over the well's mouth, and spread ground corn on it; and the thing was not known. 2 Sam. 17:19
And Absalom's servants came to the woman to the house, and said, Where are Ahimaaz and Jonathan? And the woman said to them, They have gone over the brook of water. And they sought and could not find them, and returned to Jerusalem. 2 Sam. 17:20
And it came to pass after they had departed, that they came up out of the well, and went and told king David; and they said to David, Arise and pass quickly over the water; for thus has Ahithophel counselled against you. 2 Sam. 17:21
Then David arose, and all the people that were with him, and they passed over the Jordan; by the morning light there was not one of them missing that had not gone over the Jordan. 2 Sam. 17:22
And when Ahithophel saw that his counsel was not followed, he saddled his ass, and arose and went to his house, to his city, and gave charge to his household, and hanged himself, and he died; and he was buried in the sepulchre of his father. 2 Sam. 17:23
And David came to Mahanaim. And Absalom passed over the Jordan, he and all the men of Israel with him. 2 Sam. 17:24
And Absalom set Amasa over the host instead of Joab; which Amasa was the son of a man whose name was Jithra the Israelite, that went in to Abigail the daughter of Nahash, sister to Zeruiah, Joab's mother. 2 Sam. 17:25
And Israel and Absalom encamped in the land of Gilead. 2 Sam. 17:26
And as soon as David came to Mahanaim, Shobi the son of Nahash of Rabbah of the children of Ammon, and Machir the son of Ammiel of Lo-debar, and Barzillai the Gileadite of Rogelim, 2 Sam. 17:27
and honey, and cream, and sheep, and cheese of kine to David, and to the people that were with him, to eat; for they said, The people is hungry, and weary, and thirsty in the wilderness. 2 Sam. 17:29
And David marshalled the people that were with him, and set captains of thousands and captains of hundreds over them. 2 Sam. 18:1
And David sent forth the people, a third part under the hand of Joab, and a third part under the hand of Abishai the son of Zeruiah, Joab's brother, and a third part under the hand of Ittai the Gittite. And the king said to the people, I will surely go forth with you myself also. 2 Sam. 18:2
But the people said, Thou shalt not go forth, for if we should in any case flee, they will not care for us; neither if half of us die, will they care for us; for *thou* art worth ten thousand of us; and now it is better that thou succour us out of the city. 2 Sam. 18:3
And the king said to them, I will do what is good in your sight. And the king stood by the gate-side, and all the people came out by hundreds and by thousands. 2 Sam. 18:4
And the king commanded Joab and Abishai and Ittai, saying, Deal gently for my sake with the young man Absalom. And all the people heard when the king gave all the captains charge concerning Absalom. 2 Sam. 18:5
And the people went out into the field against Israel; and the battle was in the forest of Ephraim. 2 Sam. 18:6
And the people of Israel were routed before the servants of David, and there was a great slaughter there that day: twenty thousand men. 2 Sam. 18:7
And the battle was there scattered over the face of all the country; and the forest devoured more people that day than the sword devoured. 2 Sam. 18:8
And Absalom found himself in the presence of David's servants. And Absalom was riding upon a mule, and the mule went under the thick boughs of the great terebinth, and his head caught in the terebinth, and he was taken up between the heaven and the earth; and the mule that was under him went away. 2 Sam. 18:9
And Joab said to the man that told him, And behold, thou sawest him, and why didst thou not smite him there to the ground? and I would have given thee ten silver pieces and a girdle. 2 Sam. 18:11
And the man said to Joab, Though I should receive a thousand silver pieces in my hand, yet would I not put forth my hand against the king's son; for in our hearing the king charged thee and Abishai and Ittai, saying, Take care, whoever it be of you, of the young man Absalom. 2 Sam. 18:12
Or I should have acted falsely against mine own life, for there is no matter concealed from the king, and thou wouldest have set thyself against me. 2 Sam. 18:13
Then said Joab, I may not tarry thus with thee. And he took three spears in his hand, and thrust them into Absalom's body, while he was yet alive in the midst of the terebinth. 2 Sam. 18:14
And Joab blew the trumpet, and the people returned from pursuing after Israel; for Joab kept back the people. 2 Sam. 18:16
And they took Absalom, and cast him into a great pit in the wood, and raised a very great heap of stones upon him. And all Israel fled every one to his tent. 2 Sam. 18:17
Now Absalom in his lifetime had taken and reared up for himself a monument, which is in the king's dale; for he said, I have no son to keep my name in remembrance; and he called the monument after his own name; and it is called unto this day, Absalom's memorial. 2 Sam. 18:18
And Ahimaaz the son of Zadok said, Let me run, I pray, and carry the king the news that Jehovah has avenged him of his enemies. 2 Sam. 18:19
And Joab said to him, Thou shalt not be a bearer of news to-day, but thou shalt carry the news another day; but to-day thou shalt carry no news, because the king's son is dead. 2 Sam. 18:20
Then said Joab to the Cushite, Go, tell the king what thou hast seen. And the Cushite bowed himself to Joab, and ran. 2 Sam. 18:21
And Ahimaaz the son of Zadok said yet again to Joab, Come what may, let me, I pray thee, also run after the Cushite. And Joab said, Why wilt thou run, my son, seeing that there is no news suited to thee? 2 Sam. 18:22
-- But, come what may, let me run. And he said to him, Run. And Ahimaaz ran by the way of the plain, and outstripped the Cushite. 2 Sam. 18:23
And David sat between the two gates; and the watchman went up to the roof of the gate, on to the wall, and lifted up his eyes and looked, and behold, a man running alone. 2 Sam. 18:24
And the watchman cried, and told the king. And the king said, If he be alone, there is news in his mouth. And he came on and drew near. 2 Sam. 18:25
And the watchman saw another man running; and the watchman called to the porter and said, Behold a man running alone. And the king said, He also is a bearer of news. 2 Sam. 18:26
And the watchman said, I see the running of the foremost like the running of Ahimaaz the son of Zadok. And the king said, He is a good man; and comes with good news. 2 Sam. 18:27
And Ahimaaz called and said to the king, Peace! And he fell down to the earth on his face before the king, and said, Blessed be Jehovah thy God, who has delivered up the men that lifted up their hand against my lord the king. 2 Sam. 18:28
And the king said, Is it well with the young man Absalom? And Ahimaaz said, I saw a great tumult when Joab sent the king's servant, and me thy servant; but I knew not what it was. 2 Sam. 18:29
And the king said, Turn aside and stand here. And he turned aside and stood still. 2 Sam. 18:30
And behold, the Cushite came; and the Cushite said, Let my lord the king receive good tidings, for Jehovah has avenged thee this day of all them that rose up against thee. 2 Sam. 18:31
And the king said to the Cushite, Is it well with the young man Absalom? And the Cushite said, The enemies of my lord the king, and all that rise against thee for evil, be as that young man. 2 Sam. 18:32
And the king was much moved, and went up to the upper chamber of the gate, and wept; and as he went, he said thus: O my son Absalom, my son, my son Absalom! would God I had died in thy stead, O Absalom, my son, my son! 2 Sam. 18:33
And it was told Joab, Behold, the king weeps and mourns for Absalom. 2 Sam. 19:1
And the victory that day was turned into mourning for all the people; for the people heard say that day, The king is grieved for his son. 2 Sam. 19:2
And the people stole away that day into the city, as people steal away when ashamed of fleeing in battle. 2 Sam. 19:3
And the king covered his face, and the king cried with a loud voice, My son Absalom! Absalom, my son, my son! 2 Sam. 19:4
And Joab came into the house to the king, and said, Thou hast put to shame this day the faces of all thy servants who have this day saved thy life, and the lives of thy sons and of thy daughters, and the lives of thy wives and the lives of thy concubines; 2 Sam. 19:5
But now arise, go forth, and speak consolingly to thy servants; for I swear by Jehovah, if thou go not forth, there will not tarry one with thee this night; and that would be worse to thee than all the evil that has befallen thee from thy youth until now. 2 Sam. 19:7
Then the king arose, and sat in the gate. And they told all the people, saying, Behold, the king is sitting in the gate. And all the people came before the king. Now Israel had fled every man to his tent. 2 Sam. 19:8
And all the people were at strife throughout the tribes of Israel, saying, The king delivered us out of the hand of our enemies, and he saved us out of the hand of the Philistines; and now he is fled out of the land because of Absalom. 2 Sam. 19:9
And Absalom, whom we anointed over us, is dead in battle; and now why are ye silent as to bringing the king back? 2 Sam. 19:10
And king David sent to Zadok and to Abiathar the priests, saying, Speak to the elders of Judah saying, Why are ye the last to bring the king back to his house? seeing the speech of all Israel is come to the king, to his house. 2 Sam. 19:11
Ye are my brethren, ye are my bone and my flesh; and why will ye be the last to bring back the king? 2 Sam. 19:12
And say to Amasa, Art thou not my bone and my flesh? God do so to me and more also, if thou be not captain of the host before me continually instead of Joab. 2 Sam. 19:13
And he bowed the heart of all the men of Judah as of one man; and they sent to the king, Return, thou and all thy servants. 2 Sam. 19:14
And the king returned and came as far as the Jordan. And Judah came to Gilgal, to go to meet the king, to conduct the king over the Jordan. 2 Sam. 19:15
And Shimei the son of Gera, the Benjaminite, who was of Bahurim, hasted and came down with the men of Judah to meet king David. 2 Sam. 19:16
And there were a thousand men of Benjamin with him, and Ziba the servant of the house of Saul, and his fifteen sons and his twenty servants with him; and they forded the Jordan before the king. 2 Sam. 19:17
And a ferry boat passed to and fro to carry over the king's household, and to do what he thought good. And Shimei the son of Gera fell down before the king as he was just crossing over the Jordan. 2 Sam. 19:18
And he said to the king, Let not my lord impute iniquity to me, neither do thou remember that which thy servant did perversely the day that my lord the king went out of Jerusalem, that the king should take it to heart. 2 Sam. 19:19
For thy servant knows that I have sinned; and behold, I am come the first this day of all the house of Joseph to go down to meet my lord the king. 2 Sam. 19:20
And Abishai the son of Zeruiah answered and said, Should not Shimei be put to death for this, because he cursed Jehovah's anointed? 2 Sam. 19:21
And the king said to Shimei, Thou shalt not die. And the king swore to him. 2 Sam. 19:23
And Mephibosheth the son of Saul came down to meet the king. Now he had neither washed his feet, nor trimmed his beard, nor washed his clothes, from the day the king departed until the day he came again in peace. 2 Sam. 19:24
And as soon as Jerusalem came to meet the king, the king said to him, Why didst thou not go with me, Mephibosheth? 2 Sam. 19:25
And he said, My lord, O king, my servant deceived me; for thy servant said, I will saddle me the ass, and ride thereon, and go with the king; for thy servant is lame. 2 Sam. 19:26
And he has slandered thy servant to my lord the king; but my lord the king is as an angel of God; do therefore what is good in thy sight. 2 Sam. 19:27
For all my father's house were but dead men before my lord the king; and thou didst set thy servant among them that eat at thine own table. What further right therefore have I? and for what should I cry any more to the king? 2 Sam. 19:28
And the king said to him, Why speakest thou any more of thy matters? I have said, Thou and Ziba divide the land. 2 Sam. 19:29
And Mephibosheth said to the king, Let him even take all, since my lord the king is come again in peace to his own house. 2 Sam. 19:30
And Barzillai the Gileadite came down from Rogelim, and went over the Jordan with the king, to conduct him over the Jordan. 2 Sam. 19:31
And Barzillai was very aged, eighty years old; and it was he that had maintained the king while he abode at Mahanaim; for he was a very great man. 2 Sam. 19:32
And the king said to Barzillai, Pass thou over with me, and I will maintain thee with me in Jerusalem. 2 Sam. 19:33
And Barzillai said to the king, How many are the days of the years of my life, that I should go up with the king to Jerusalem? 2 Sam. 19:34
I am this day eighty years old: can I discern between good and bad? can thy servant taste what I eat and what I drink? can I hear any more the voice of singing men and singing women? and why should thy servant be yet a burden to my lord the king? 2 Sam. 19:35
Thy servant will go a little way over the Jordan with the king; and why should the king recompense it to me with this reward? 2 Sam. 19:36
Let thy servant, I pray thee, turn back again, that I may die in mine own city, by the grave of my father and of my mother. But behold thy servant Chimham: let him go over with my lord the king; and do to him what seems good to thee. 2 Sam. 19:37
And the king said, Chimham shall go over with me, and I will do to him that which seems good to thee; and whatsoever thou shalt require of me, that will I do for thee. 2 Sam. 19:38
And all the people went over the Jordan; and the king went over; and the king kissed Barzillai, and blessed him; and he returned to his own place. 2 Sam. 19:39
And the king went on to Gilgal, and Chimham went on with him; and all the people of Judah conducted the king, and also half the people of Israel. 2 Sam. 19:40
And behold, all the men of Israel came to the king, and said to the king, Why have our brethren the men of Judah stolen thee away, and have brought the king, and his household, and all David's men with him, over the Jordan? 2 Sam. 19:41
And all the men of Judah answered the men of Israel, Because the king is near of kin to me; and why then are ye angry for this matter? have we eaten anything which came from the king, or has he given us any present? 2 Sam. 19:42
And the men of Israel answered the men of Judah and said, I have ten parts in the king and I have also more right in David than thou; and why didst thou slight me? and was not my advice the first, to bring back my king? And the words of the men of Judah were harsher than the words of the men of Israel. 2 Sam. 19:43
And there happened to be there a man of Belial, whose name was Sheba, the son of Bichri, a Benjaminite; and he blew a trumpet, and said, We have no portion in David, neither have we inheritance in the son of Jesse: every man to his tents, Israel. 2 Sam. 20:1
Then all the men of Israel went up from after David, following Sheba the son of Bichri. But the men of Judah clave to their king, from the Jordan even to Jerusalem. 2 Sam. 20:2
And David came to his house at Jerusalem; and the king took the ten women, concubines, whom he had left to keep the house, and put them in a house of confinement and maintained them, but did not go in to them. So they were shut up unto the day of their death, living in widowhood. 2 Sam. 20:3
And the king said to Amasa, Call me the men of Judah together within three days, and do thou attend here. 2 Sam. 20:4
So Amasa went to call together the men of Judah; but he delayed longer than the set time which he had appointed him. 2 Sam. 20:5
And David said to Abishai, Now shall Sheba the son of Bichri do us more harm than did Absalom. Take thou thy lord's servants, and pursue after him, lest he get him fortified cities and escape our sight. 2 Sam. 20:6
And there went out after him Joab's men, and the Cherethites, and the Pelethites, and all the mighty men; and they went out of Jerusalem, to pursue after Sheba the son of Bichri. 2 Sam. 20:7
When they were at the great stone which is in Gibeon, Amasa came before them. And Joab was girded with his coat, his dress, and upon it was the girdle of the sword which was fastened on his loins in its sheath; and as he went forth it fell out. 2 Sam. 20:8
And Joab said to Amasa, Art thou well, my brother? And Joab took Amasa by the beard with the right hand to kiss him. 2 Sam. 20:9
And Amasa had taken no notice of the sword that was in Joab's hand: so he smote him with it in the belly and shed out his bowels to the ground, and struck him not again; and he died. And Joab and Abishai his brother pursued after Sheba the son of Bichri. 2 Sam. 20:10
Now Amasa wallowed in blood in the midst of the highway. And when the man saw that all the people stood still, he removed Amasa out of the highway into the field, and cast a cloth upon him, when he saw that every one that came by stood still. 2 Sam. 20:12
When he was removed out of the highway, all the people went on after Joab, to pursue after Sheba the son of Bichri, 2 Sam. 20:13
who went through all the tribes of Israel to Abel, and to Beth-Maacah, and all the Berim; and they gathered together, and went also after him. 2 Sam. 20:14
And they came and besieged him in Abel-Beth-Maacah, and they cast up a bank against the city, and it was raised in the trench; and all the people that were with Joab sapped the wall, to throw it down. 2 Sam. 20:15
And a wise woman cried out of the city, Hear, hear: say, I pray you, unto Joab, Come near hither, that I may speak with thee. 2 Sam. 20:16
And he came near to her; and the woman said, Art thou Joab? And he said, I am he. And she said to him, Listen to the words of thy handmaid. And he said, I am listening. 2 Sam. 20:17
I am peaceable and faithful in Israel: thou seekest to destroy a city and a mother in Israel. Why wilt thou swallow up the inheritance of Jehovah? 2 Sam. 20:19
The matter is not so; but a man of mount Ephraim, Sheba the son of Bichri by name, has lifted up his hand against the king, against David: give up him only, and I will depart from the city. And the woman said to Joab, Behold, his head shall be thrown to thee over the wall. 2 Sam. 20:21
Then the woman went to all the people in her wisdom. And they cut off the head of Sheba the son of Bichri, and cast it to Joab. And he blew a trumpet, and they dispersed from the city, every man to his tent. And Joab returned to Jerusalem to the king. 2 Sam. 20:22
And Joab was over all the host of Israel; and Benaiah the son of Jehoiada was over the Cherethites and over the Pelethites; 2 Sam. 20:23
and Adoram was over the levy; and Jehoshaphat the son of Ahilud was recorder; 2 Sam. 20:24
and Ira also, the Jairite, was David's chief ruler. 2 Sam. 20:26
And there was a famine in the days of David three years, year after year; and David inquired of Jehovah. And Jehovah said, It is for Saul, and for his house of blood, because he slew the Gibeonites. 2 Sam. 21:1
And the king called the Gibeonites, and spoke to them. (Now the Gibeonites were not of the children of Israel, but of the remainder of the Amorites; and the children of Israel had sworn to them; and Saul sought to smite them in his zeal for the children of Israel and Judah.) 2 Sam. 21:2
And David said to the Gibeonites, What shall I do for you? and with what shall I make atonement, that ye may bless the inheritance of Jehovah? 2 Sam. 21:3
And the Gibeonites said to him, As to Saul and his house, it is with us no question of receiving silver or gold, neither is it for us to have any man put to death in Israel. And he said, What ye say will I do for you. 2 Sam. 21:4
And they said to the king, The man that consumed us, and that devised against us that we should be destroyed from remaining in all the borders of Israel, 2 Sam. 21:5
let seven men of his sons be given up to us, and we will hang them up to Jehovah in Gibeah of Saul, the chosen of Jehovah. And the king said, I will give them. 2 Sam. 21:6
But the king spared Mephibosheth, the son of Jonathan the son of Saul, because of Jehovah's oath that was between them, between David and Jonathan the son of Saul. 2 Sam. 21:7
And the king took the two sons of Rizpah the daughter of Aiah, whom she had borne to Saul, Armoni and Mephibosheth; and the five sons of the sister of Michal the daughter of Saul, whom she had borne to Adriel the son of Barzillai the Meholathite; 2 Sam. 21:8
and he gave them into the hands of the Gibeonites, and they hanged them on the hill before Jehovah. And they fell all seven together, and were put to death in the first days of the harvest, in the beginning of barley harvest. 2 Sam. 21:9
Then Rizpah the daughter of Aiah took sackcloth, and spread it for her upon the rock, from the beginning of harvest until water poured on them out of the heavens, and suffered neither the fowl of the heavens to rest on them by day, nor the beasts of the field by night. 2 Sam. 21:10
And it was told David what Rizpah the daughter of Aiah, the concubine of Saul, had done. 2 Sam. 21:11
And David went and took the bones of Saul and the bones of Jonathan his son from the men of Jabesh-Gilead, who had stolen them from the open place of Beth-shan, where the Philistines had hanged them, the day the Philistines had smitten Saul in Gilboa; 2 Sam. 21:12
and he brought up from thence the bones of Saul and the bones of Jonathan his son; and they gathered the bones of them that were hanged. 2 Sam. 21:13
And they buried them with the bones of Saul and Jonathan his son in the country of Benjamin in Zela, in the sepulchre of Kish his father; and they did all that the king had commanded. And afterwards God was propitious to the land. 2 Sam. 21:14
And the Philistines had yet war again with Israel; and David went down, and his servants with him, and fought with the Philistines. And David was exhausted. 2 Sam. 21:15
And Ishbibenob, who was of the children of Raphah -- the weight of his lance was three hundred shekels of bronze, and he was girded with new armour -- thought to smite David. 2 Sam. 21:16
And Abishai the son of Zeruiah succoured him, and smote the Philistine and killed him. Then the men of David swore to him, saying, Thou shalt go no more out with us to battle, that thou quench not the lamp of Israel. 2 Sam. 21:17
And it came to pass after this, that there was again a battle with the Philistines, at Gob; then Sibbechai the Hushathite smote Saph, who was of the children of Raphah. 2 Sam. 21:18
And there was again a battle at Gob with the Philistines; and Elhanan the son of Jaare-oregim, a Bethlehemite, smote Goliath the Gittite; now the shaft of his spear was like a weaver's beam. 2 Sam. 21:19
And he defied Israel; but Jonathan the son of Shimea David's brother smote him. 2 Sam. 21:21
These four were born to Raphah, in Gath; and they fell by the hand of David, and by the hand of his servants. 2 Sam. 21:22
And David spoke to Jehovah the words of this song in the day that Jehovah had delivered him out of the hand of all his enemies, and out of the hand of Saul. 2 Sam. 22:1
God is my rock, in him will I trust -- My shield, and the horn of my salvation, My high tower, and my refuge, My saviour: thou wilt save me from violence. 2 Sam. 22:3
For the waves of death encompassed me, Torrents of Belial made me afraid. 2 Sam. 22:5
The bands of Sheol surrounded me; The cords of death encountered me; 2 Sam. 22:6
Then the earth shook, and quaked; The foundations of the heavens trembled And shook because he was wroth. 2 Sam. 22:8
And he bowed the heavens, and came down; And darkness was under his feet. 2 Sam. 22:10
And he rode upon a cherub, and did fly; And he was seen upon the wings of the wind. 2 Sam. 22:11
And he made darkness round about him a tent, Gatherings of waters, thick clouds of the skies. 2 Sam. 22:12
From the brightness before him Burned forth coals of fire. 2 Sam. 22:13
Jehovah thundered from the heavens, And the Most High uttered his voice. 2 Sam. 22:14
And the beds of the sea were seen, The foundations of the world were uncovered At the rebuke of Jehovah, At the blast of the breath of his nostrils. 2 Sam. 22:16
They encountered me in the day of my calamity; But Jehovah was my stay. 2 Sam. 22:19
Jehovah hath rewarded me according to my righteousness, According to the cleanness of my hands hath he recompensed me. 2 Sam. 22:21
For I have kept the ways of Jehovah, And have not wickedly departed from my God. 2 Sam. 22:22
With the gracious thou dost shew thyself gracious; With the upright man thou dost shew thyself upright; 2 Sam. 22:26
With the pure thou dost shew thyself pure; And with the perverse thou dost shew thyself contrary. 2 Sam. 22:27
And the afflicted people thou dost save; And thine eyes are upon the haughty, whom thou bringest down. 2 Sam. 22:28
As for *God, his way is perfect; The word of Jehovah is tried: He is a shield to all that trust in him. 2 Sam. 22:31
And thou didst give me the shield of thy salvation, And thy condescending gentleness hath made me great. 2 Sam. 22:36
And I did beat them small as the dust of the earth, I trod them as the mire of the streets; I stamped upon them. 2 Sam. 22:43
And thou hast delivered me from the strivings of my people, Thou hast kept me to be head of the nations: A people I knew not doth serve me: 2 Sam. 22:44
Strangers come cringing unto me: At the hearing of the ear, they obey me. 2 Sam. 22:45
Jehovah liveth; and blessed be my rock; And exalted be the God, the rock of my salvation, 2 Sam. 22:47
The *God who hath avenged me, And hath brought the peoples under me. 2 Sam. 22:48
He brought me forth from mine enemies: Yea, thou hast lifted me up above them that rose up against me; From the man of violence hast thou delivered me. 2 Sam. 22:49
Therefore will I give thanks to thee, Jehovah, among the nations, And will sing psalms to thy name. 2 Sam. 22:50
Now these are the last words of David: David the son of Jesse saith, And the man who was raised up on high, The anointed of the God of Jacob, And the sweet psalmist of Israel saith, 2 Sam. 23:1
The Spirit of Jehovah spoke by me, And his word was on my tongue. 2 Sam. 23:2
The God of Israel said, The Rock of Israel spoke to me, The ruler among men shall be just, Ruling in the fear of God; 2 Sam. 23:3
And he shall be as the light or the morning, like the rising of the sun, A morning without clouds; When from the sunshine, after rain, The green grass springeth from the earth. 2 Sam. 23:4
But the sons of Belial are all of them as thorns thrust away, Because they cannot be taken with hands; 2 Sam. 23:6
And the man that will touch them provideth himself with iron and the staff of a spear; And they shall be utterly burned with fire in their place. 2 Sam. 23:7
These are the names of the mighty men whom David had: Joseb-Bassebeth, Tachkemonite the chief of the captains: he was Adino the Eznite; he fought against eight hundred, slain by him at one time. 2 Sam. 23:8
And after him, Eleazar the son of Dodo the son of an Ahohite: he was one of the three mighty men with David, when they had defied the Philistines that were there gathered together to battle, and the men of Israel were gone up. 2 Sam. 23:9
He arose and smote the Philistines until his hand was weary, and his hand clave to the sword; and Jehovah wrought a great deliverance that day; and the people returned after him only to spoil. 2 Sam. 23:10
And after him, Shammah the son of Agee the Hararite: the Philistines were gathered into a troop, and there was there a plot of ground full of lentils, and the people had fled before the Philistines; 2 Sam. 23:11
and he stood in the midst of the plot and delivered it, and smote the Philistines, and Jehovah wrought a great deliverance. 2 Sam. 23:12
And three of the thirty chiefs went down, and came to David in the harvest time to the cave of Adullam, when the troop of the Philistines was encamped in the valley of Rephaim. 2 Sam. 23:13
And David was then in the stronghold; and the Philistines' garrison was then at Bethlehem. 2 Sam. 23:14
And David longed, and said, Oh that one would give me to drink of the water of the well of Bethlehem, which is in the gate! 2 Sam. 23:15
And the three mighty men broke through the camp of the Philistines, and drew water out of the well of Bethlehem, which is in the gate, and took it, and brought it to David; however he would not drink of it, but poured it out to Jehovah. 2 Sam. 23:16
And he said, Be it far from me, Jehovah, that I should do this thing! is it not the blood of the men that went at the risk of their lives? Therefore he would not drink it. These things did the three mighty men. 2 Sam. 23:17
And Abishai, the brother of Joab, the son of Zeruiah, was the chief of three; and he brandished his spear against three hundred and slew them; and he had a name among the three. 2 Sam. 23:18
Was he not most honourable of three? and he was their captain; but he did not attain to the first three. 2 Sam. 23:19
And Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, son of a valiant man, great in exploits, of Kabzeel: he it was that smote two lions of Moab; and he went down and smote a lion in the midst of a pit on a snowy day. 2 Sam. 23:20
He also smote the Egyptian, an imposing man: and the Egyptian had a spear in his hand; and he went down to him with a staff, and plucked the spear out of the Egyptian's hand, and slew him with his own spear. 2 Sam. 23:21
These things did Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, and he had a name among the three mighty men. 2 Sam. 23:22
He was honoured above the thirty, but he did not attain to the first three. And David set him in his council. 2 Sam. 23:23
Asahel the brother of Joab was one of the thirty; Elhanan the son of Dodo of Bethlehem, 2 Sam. 23:24
Shammah the Harodite, Elika the Harodite, 2 Sam. 23:25
Helez the Paltite, Ira the son of Ikkesh the Tekoite, 2 Sam. 23:26

Uriah the Hittite: thirty-seven in all. 2 Sam. 23:39
And again the anger of Jehovah was kindled against Israel, and he moved David against them saying, Go, number Israel and Judah. 2 Sam. 24:1
And the king said to Joab the captain of the host, who was with him, Go, I pray thee, through all the tribes of Israel, from Dan even to Beer-sheba, and count the people, that I may know the number of the people. 2 Sam. 24:2
And Joab said to the king, May Jehovah thy God even add to the people, how many soever they be, a hundredfold, and that the eyes of my lord the king may see it; but why does my lord the king delight in this thing? 2 Sam. 24:3
But the king's word prevailed against Joab, and against the captains of the army. And Joab and the captains of the army went out from the presence of the king to count the people of Israel. 2 Sam. 24:4
And they passed over the Jordan, and encamped in Aroer, on the right side of the city that is in the midst of the ravine of Gad, and toward Jaazer. 2 Sam. 24:5
And they came to Gilead, and to the land of Tahtim-hodshi; and came to Dan-jaan, and to the environs of Sidon; 2 Sam. 24:6
and they came to the fortified city of Tyre, and to all the cities of the Hivites and of the Canaanites; and went out to the south of Judah, to Beer-sheba. 2 Sam. 24:7
And they went through all the land, and came to Jerusalem at the end of nine months and twenty days. 2 Sam. 24:8
And Joab gave the sum of the number of the people to the king; and there were of Israel eight hundred thousand valiant men that drew sword; and the men of Judah were five hundred thousand men. 2 Sam. 24:9
And David's heart smote him after he had numbered the people. And David said to Jehovah, I have sinned greatly in what I have done; and now, I beseech thee, Jehovah, put away the iniquity of thy servant; for I have done very foolishly. 2 Sam. 24:10
And when David arose in the morning, the word of Jehovah came to the prophet Gad, David's seer, saying, 2 Sam. 24:11
And David said to Gad, I am in a great strait: let us fall, I pray thee, into the hand of Jehovah; for his mercies are great; but let me not fall into the hand of man. 2 Sam. 24:14
And Jehovah sent a pestilence upon Israel from the morning even to the set time; and there died of the people from Dan even to Beer-sheba seventy thousand men. 2 Sam. 24:15
And the angel stretched out his hand upon Jerusalem to destroy it; but Jehovah repented him of the evil, and said to the angel that destroyed among the people, It is enough: withdraw now thine hand. And the angel of Jehovah was by the threshing-floor of Araunah the Jebusite. 2 Sam. 24:16
And David spoke to Jehovah when he saw the angel that smote among the people, and said, Behold, it is I that have sinned, and it is I that have committed iniquity; but these sheep, what have they done? let thy hand, I pray thee, be on me, and on my father's house! 2 Sam. 24:17
And Gad came that day to David, and said to him, Go up, rear an altar to Jehovah in the threshing-floor of Araunah the Jebusite. 2 Sam. 24:18
And David, according to the saying of Gad, went up as Jehovah had commanded. 2 Sam. 24:19
And Araunah looked, and saw the king and his servants coming on towards him; and Araunah went out, and bowed himself before the king with his face to the ground. 2 Sam. 24:20
And Araunah said, Why is my lord the king come to his servant? And David said, To buy the threshing-floor of thee, to build an altar to Jehovah, that the plague may be stayed from the people. 2 Sam. 24:21
And Araunah said to David, Let my lord the king take and offer up that which is good in his sight: see, here are oxen for the burnt-offering, and the threshing-sledges and implements of the oxen for wood. 2 Sam. 24:22
All these things, O king, doth Araunah give to the king. And Araunah said to the king, Jehovah thy God accept thee. 2 Sam. 24:23
And the king said to Araunah, No; but I will in any case buy them of thee at a price: neither will I offer up to Jehovah my God burnt-offerings without cost. And David bought the threshing-floor and the oxen for fifty shekels of silver. 2 Sam. 24:24
And David built there an altar to Jehovah, and offered up burnt-offerings and peace-offerings. And Jehovah was propitious to the land, and the plague was stayed from Israel. 2 Sam. 24:25
And his servants said to him, Let there be found for my lord the king a young virgin; and let her stand before the king, and let her cherish him, and let her lie in thy bosom, that my lord the king may get warm. 1 Ki. 1:2
And they sought for a fair damsel throughout the territory of Israel, and found Abishag a Shunammite, and brought her to the king. 1 Ki. 1:3
And the damsel was very fair; and cherished the king, and ministered to him; but the king knew her not. 1 Ki. 1:4
And Adonijah the son of Haggith exalted himself, saying, I will be king; and he provided himself chariots and horsemen, and fifty men to run before him. 1 Ki. 1:5
And he conferred with Joab the son of Zeruiah, and with Abiathar the priest; and they helped Adonijah and followed him. 1 Ki. 1:7
But Zadok the priest, and Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, and Nathan the prophet, and Shimei, and Rei, and the mighty men whom David had, were not with Adonijah. 1 Ki. 1:8
And Adonijah sacrificed sheep and oxen and fatted cattle by the stone of Zoheleth, which is by En-rogel, and invited all his brethren, the king's sons, and all the men of Judah, the king's servants; 1 Ki. 1:9
but Nathan the prophet, and Benaiah, and the mighty men, and Solomon his brother, he did not invite. 1 Ki. 1:10
And Nathan spoke to Bathsheba the mother of Solomon, saying, Hast thou not heard that Adonijah the son of Haggith is king, and David our lord does not know it? 1 Ki. 1:11
And now, come, let me, I pray thee, give thee counsel, that thou mayest save thine own life, and the life of thy son Solomon. 1 Ki. 1:12
Behold, while thou yet talkest there with the king, I also will come in after thee and confirm thy words. 1 Ki. 1:14
And Bathsheba went in to the king into the chamber; and the king was very old; and Abishag the Shunammite ministered to the king. 1 Ki. 1:15
And Bathsheba bowed and did obeisance to the king. And the king said, What wouldest thou? 1 Ki. 1:16
And now behold, Adonijah is king; and now, my lord the king, thou knowest it not. 1 Ki. 1:18
And he has sacrificed oxen and fatted cattle and sheep in abundance, and has invited all the sons of the king and Abiathar the priest and Joab the captain of the host; but Solomon thy servant has he not invited. 1 Ki. 1:19
And thou, my lord the king, the eyes of all Israel are upon thee, that thou shouldest tell them who shall sit on the throne of my lord the king after him. 1 Ki. 1:20
Otherwise it shall come to pass when my lord the king shall sleep with his fathers, that I and my son Solomon will be counted offenders. 1 Ki. 1:21
And behold, while she yet talked with the king, Nathan the prophet also came in. 1 Ki. 1:22
And they told the king saying, Behold, Nathan the prophet. And when he was come in before the king, he bowed himself before the king with his face to the ground. 1 Ki. 1:23
For he is gone down this day, and has sacrificed oxen and fatted cattle and sheep in abundance, and has invited all the king's sons, and the captains of the host, and Abiathar the priest; and behold, they eat and drink before him, and say, God save king Adonijah! 1 Ki. 1:25
But me, even me thy servant, and Zadok the priest, and Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, and thy servant Solomon, he has not invited. 1 Ki. 1:26
Is this thing done by my lord the king, and thou hast not shewn to thy servants who should sit on the throne of my lord the king after him? 1 Ki. 1:27
Then king David answered and said, Call me Bathsheba. And she came into the king's presence, and stood before the king. 1 Ki. 1:28
And the king swore, and said, As Jehovah liveth, who has redeemed my soul out of all distress, 1 Ki. 1:29
even as I swore to thee by Jehovah the God of Israel, saying, Solomon thy son shall reign after me, and he shall sit on my throne in my stead; even so will I certainly do this day. 1 Ki. 1:30
And Bathsheba bowed with her face to the earth, and did reverence to the king, and said, Let my lord king David live for ever. 1 Ki. 1:31
And king David said, Call me Zadok the priest, and Nathan the prophet, and Benaiah the son of Jehoiada. And they came before the king. 1 Ki. 1:32
And the king said to them, Take with you the servants of your lord, and cause Solomon my son to ride upon mine own mule, and bring him down to Gihon; 1 Ki. 1:33
and let Zadok the priest and Nathan the prophet anoint him there king over Israel; and blow ye with the trumpet, and say, Long live king Solomon! 1 Ki. 1:34
And Benaiah the son of Jehoiada answered the king and said, Amen: Jehovah, the God of my lord the king, say so too. 1 Ki. 1:36
As Jehovah has been with my lord the king, even so be he with Solomon, and make his throne greater than the throne of my lord king David. 1 Ki. 1:37
And Zadok the priest, and Nathan the prophet, and Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, and the Cherethites and the Pelethites went down, and caused Solomon to ride upon king David's mule, and brought him to Gihon. 1 Ki. 1:38
And Zadok the priest took the horn of oil out of the tabernacle, and anointed Solomon. And they blew the trumpet; and all the people said, Long live king Solomon! 1 Ki. 1:39
And all the people came up after him, and the people piped with pipes, and rejoiced with great joy, so that the earth rent with the sound of them. 1 Ki. 1:40
And Adonijah and all the guests that were with him heard it as they were finishing their repast; and Joab heard the sound of the trumpet, and he said, Wherefore this noise of the city in an uproar? 1 Ki. 1:41
While he yet spoke, behold, Jonathan the son of Abiathar the priest came; and Adonijah said to him, Come in; for thou art a valiant man, and bringest good news. 1 Ki. 1:42
And the king has sent with him Zadok the priest, and Nathan the prophet, and Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, and the Cherethites and the Pelethites, and they have caused him to ride upon the king's mule; 1 Ki. 1:44
and Zadok the priest and Nathan the prophet have anointed him king at Gihon; and they are come up from thence rejoicing, so that the city is in an uproar. This is the noise which ye have heard. 1 Ki. 1:45
And also Solomon is sitting on the throne of the kingdom. 1 Ki. 1:46
And moreover the king's servants came to bless our lord king David, saying, Thy God make the name of Solomon more excellent than thy name, and make his throne greater than thy throne! And the king bowed himself on the bed. 1 Ki. 1:47
And also thus said the king: Blessed be Jehovah, the God of Israel, who has given one to sit on my throne this day, mine eyes even seeing it. 1 Ki. 1:48
And Adonijah feared because of Solomon, and arose and went and caught hold of the horns of the altar. 1 Ki. 1:50
And it was told Solomon saying, Behold, Adonijah fears king Solomon; for behold, he has caught hold of the horns of the altar, saying, Let king Solomon swear to me this day that he will not put his servant to death with the sword. 1 Ki. 1:51
And Solomon said, If he be a worthy man, there shall not one of his hairs fall to the earth; but if wickedness be found in him, he shall die. 1 Ki. 1:52
And king Solomon sent, and they brought him down from the altar. And he came and bowed himself to king Solomon; and Solomon said to him, Go to thy house. 1 Ki. 1:53
And the days of David were at hand that he should die; and he enjoined Solomon his son saying, 1 Ki. 2:1
I go the way of all the earth: be of good courage therefore, and be a man; 1 Ki. 2:2
and keep the charge of Jehovah thy God, to walk in his ways, to keep his statutes, and his commandments, and his ordinances, and his testimonies, as it is written in the law of Moses, that thou mayest prosper in all that thou doest and whithersoever thou turnest thyself; 1 Ki. 2:3
that Jehovah may confirm his word which he spoke concerning me, saying, If thy sons take heed to their way, to walk before me in truth with all their heart and with all their soul, there shall not fail thee, said he, a man upon the throne of Israel. 1 Ki. 2:4
And thou knowest also what Joab the son of Zeruiah did to me, what he did to the two captains of the hosts of Israel, to Abner the son of Ner, and to Amasa the son of Jether, whom he slew, and shed the blood of war in peace, and put the blood of war upon his girdle that was about his loins, and upon his sandals that were on his feet. 1 Ki. 2:5
But shew kindness to the sons of Barzillai the Gileadite, and let them be of those that eat at thy table; for so they came up to me when I fled because of Absalom thy brother. 1 Ki. 2:7
And behold, there is with thee Shimei the son of Gera, the Benjaminite of Bahurim, who cursed me with a grievous curse in the day that I went to Mahanaim; but he came down to meet me at the Jordan, and I swore to him by Jehovah saying, I will not put thee to death with the sword. 1 Ki. 2:8
And David slept with his fathers, and was buried in the city of David. 1 Ki. 2:10
And the days that David reigned over Israel were forty years: he reigned seven years in Hebron, and he reigned thirty-three years in Jerusalem. 1 Ki. 2:11
And Solomon sat on the throne of David his father; and his kingdom was established greatly. 1 Ki. 2:12
And Adonijah the son of Haggith came to Bathsheba the mother of Solomon. And she said, Comest thou peaceably? And he said, Peaceably. 1 Ki. 2:13
And he said, Thou knowest that the kingdom was mine, and all Israel had set their faces on me that I should reign; but the kingdom is turned about and is become my brother's, for it was his from Jehovah. 1 Ki. 2:15
And he said, Speak, I pray thee, to Solomon the king -- for he will not refuse thee -- that he give me Abishag the Shunammite as wife. 1 Ki. 2:17
And Bathsheba said, Well, I will speak for thee to the king. 1 Ki. 2:18
And Bathsheba went to king Solomon, to speak to him for Adonijah. And the king rose up to meet her, and bowed himself to her, and sat down on his throne; and he caused a throne to be set for the king's mother, and she sat on his right hand. 1 Ki. 2:19
Then she said, I desire one small petition of thee; refuse me not. And the king said to her, Ask, my mother, for I will not refuse thee. 1 Ki. 2:20
And she said, Let Abishag the Shunammite be given to Adonijah thy brother as wife. 1 Ki. 2:21
And king Solomon answered and said to his mother, And why dost thou ask Abishag the Shunammite for Adonijah? ask for him the kingdom also; for he is mine elder brother; even for him, and for Abiathar the priest, and for Joab the son of Zeruiah. 1 Ki. 2:22
And now as Jehovah liveth, who has established me, and set me on the throne of David my father, and who has made me a house, as he promised, Adonijah shall be put to death this day. 1 Ki. 2:24
And king Solomon sent by the hand of Benaiah the son of Jehoiada; who fell on him, that he died. 1 Ki. 2:25
And the king said to Abiathar the priest, Go to Anathoth, to thine own fields; for thou art worthy of death; but I will not at this time put thee to death, because thou didst bear the ark of Adonai Jehovah before David my father, and because thou hast been afflicted in all wherein my father was afflicted. 1 Ki. 2:26
And Solomon thrust out Abiathar from being priest to Jehovah, to fulfil the word of Jehovah, which he had spoken concerning the house of Eli in Shiloh. 1 Ki. 2:27
And the report came to Joab (for Joab had turned after Adonijah, though he had not turned after Absalom); and Joab fled to the tent of Jehovah, and caught hold of the horns of the altar. 1 Ki. 2:28
And it was told king Solomon that Joab had fled to the tent of Jehovah; and behold, he is by the altar. And Solomon sent Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, saying, Go, fall on him. 1 Ki. 2:29
And Benaiah came to the tent of Jehovah and said to him, Thus saith the king: Come forth. And he said, No; for I will die here. And Benaiah brought the king word again, saying, Thus said Joab, and thus he answered me. 1 Ki. 2:30
And the king said to him, Do as he has said, and fall upon him, and bury him; and take away the innocent blood, which Joab shed, from me and from the house of my father. 1 Ki. 2:31
And Jehovah shall requite the blood which he shed upon his own head, because he fell upon two men more righteous and better than he, and slew them with the sword, without my father David's knowledge: Abner the son of Ner, captain of the host of Israel, and Amasa the son of Jether, captain of the host of Judah. 1 Ki. 2:32
And their blood shall be requited upon the head of Joab, and upon the head of his seed for ever; but upon David, and upon his seed, and upon his house, and upon his throne, shall there be peace for ever from Jehovah. 1 Ki. 2:33
And Benaiah the son of Jehoiada went up and fell upon him, and put him to death; and he was buried in his own house in the wilderness. 1 Ki. 2:34
And the king put Benaiah the son of Jehoiada in his stead over the host; and Zadok the priest the king put in the stead of Abiathar. 1 Ki. 2:35
And the king sent and called for Shimei, and said to him, Build thee a house in Jerusalem, and abide there, and go not forth thence anywhere. 1 Ki. 2:36
And it shall be that on the day thou goest forth, and passest over the torrent of Kidron, ... know for certain that thou shalt surely die: thy blood shall be upon thine own head. 1 Ki. 2:37
And Shimei said to the king, The saying is good: as my lord the king has said, so will thy servant do. And Shimei dwelt in Jerusalem many days. 1 Ki. 2:38
And it came to pass at the end of three years, that two servants of Shimei's ran away to Achish son of Maachah, king of Gath. And they told Shimei saying, Behold, thy servants are in Gath. 1 Ki. 2:39
And the king sent and called for Shimei, and said to him, Did I not make thee swear by Jehovah, and protest to thee, saying, Know for certain, that on the day thou goest forth, and walkest abroad anywhere, thou shalt surely die? and thou saidst to me, The word that I have heard is good. 1 Ki. 2:42
Why then hast thou not kept the oath of Jehovah, and the commandment that I charged thee with? 1 Ki. 2:43
And the king said to Shimei, Thou knowest all the wickedness of which thy heart is conscious, which thou didst to David my father; and Jehovah returns thy wickedness upon thine own head; 1 Ki. 2:44
and king Solomon shall be blessed, and the throne of David shall be established before Jehovah for ever. 1 Ki. 2:45
And the king commanded Benaiah the son of Jehoiada; who went out and fell upon him, and he died. And the kingdom was established in the hand of Solomon. 1 Ki. 2:46
And Solomon allied himself by marriage with Pharaoh king of Egypt, and took Pharaoh's daughter, and brought her into the city of David, until he had ended building his own house, and the house of Jehovah, and the wall of Jerusalem round about. 1 Ki. 3:1
Only, the people sacrificed on the high places; for there was no house built to the name of Jehovah, until those days. 1 Ki. 3:2
And Solomon loved Jehovah, walking in the statutes of David his father; only, he sacrificed and burned incense on the high places. 1 Ki. 3:3
And the king went to Gibeon to sacrifice there; for that was the great high place: a thousand burnt-offerings did Solomon offer up upon that altar. 1 Ki. 3:4
And thy servant is in the midst of thy people which thou hast chosen, a great people, that cannot be numbered nor counted for multitude. 1 Ki. 3:8
And the word pleased the Lord, that Solomon had asked this thing. 1 Ki. 3:10
And God said to him, Because thou hast asked this thing, and hast not asked for thyself long life, neither hast asked riches for thyself, nor hast asked the life of thine enemies, but hast asked for thyself discernment to understand judgment; 1 Ki. 3:11
And I have also given thee that which thou hast not asked, both riches and glory; so that there shall not be any among the kings like unto thee all thy days. 1 Ki. 3:13
And Solomon awoke, and behold, it was a dream. And he came to Jerusalem, and stood before the ark of the covenant of Jehovah, and offered up burnt-offerings, and offered peace-offerings, and made a feast to all his servants. 1 Ki. 3:15
Then came two women, harlots, to the king, and stood before him. 1 Ki. 3:16
And the first woman said, Ah, my lord! I and this woman abode in one house; and I was delivered of a child with her in the house. 1 Ki. 3:17
And it came to pass the third day after I was delivered, that this woman was delivered also; and we were together; no stranger was with us in the house, only we two were in the house. 1 Ki. 3:18
And this woman's child died in the night; because she had lain upon it. 1 Ki. 3:19
And when I rose in the morning to give my child suck, behold, it was dead; and I considered it in the morning, and behold, it was not my son, whom I bore. 1 Ki. 3:21
And the other woman said, No, for the living is my son, and the dead is thy son. And this one said, No, but the dead is thy son, and the living is my son. Thus they spoke before the king. 1 Ki. 3:22
Then said the king, The one says, This that is living is my son, and thy son is the dead; and the other says, No, for thy son is the dead, and my son is the living. 1 Ki. 3:23
And the king said, Bring me a sword. And they brought a sword before the king. 1 Ki. 3:24
And the king said, Divide the living child in two, and give half to the one, and half to the other. 1 Ki. 3:25
Then spoke the woman whose was the living child to the king, for her bowels yearned over her son, and she said, Ah, my lord! give her the living child, and in no wise put it to death. But the other said, Let it be neither mine nor thine; divide it. 1 Ki. 3:26
And the king answered and said, Give this one the living child, and in no wise put it to death: she is its mother. 1 Ki. 3:27
And all Israel heard of the judgment which the king had judged; and they feared the king, for they saw that the wisdom of God was in him, to do justice. 1 Ki. 3:28
And these are the princes whom he had: Azariah the son of Zadok was priest; 1 Ki. 4:2
Elihoreph and Ahiah, the sons of Shisha, scribes; Jehoshaphat the son of Ahilud, chronicler; 1 Ki. 4:3
and Benaiah the son of Jehoiada was over the host; and Zadok and Abiathar were priests; 1 Ki. 4:4
and Azariah the son of Nathan was over the superintendents; and Zabud the son of Nathan was principal officer, the king's friend; 1 Ki. 4:5
and Ahishar was over the household; and Adoniram the son of Abda was over the levy-service. 1 Ki. 4:6
And Solomon had twelve superintendents over all Israel; and they provided food for the king and his household: each man his month in the year had to make provision. 1 Ki. 4:7
Ben-Hesed, in Arubboth; he had Sochoh, and all the land of Hepher. 1 Ki. 4:10
Ben-Abinadab had all the upland of Dor; Taphath the daughter of Solomon was his wife. 1 Ki. 4:11
Baana the son of Ahilud had Taanach and Megiddo, and all Beth-shean, which is by Zaretan beneath Jizreel, from Beth-shean to Abel-Meholah, as far as beyond Jokneam. 1 Ki. 4:12
Ben-Geber, in Ramoth-Gilead; he had the villages of Jair the son of Manasseh, which are in Gilead; he had the region of Argob, which is in Bashan, sixty great cities with walls and bars of bronze. 1 Ki. 4:13
Ahinadab the son of Iddo, at Mahanaim. 1 Ki. 4:14
Ahimaaz, in Nephtali; he also took Basmath the daughter of Solomon as wife. 1 Ki. 4:15
Baanah the son of Hushai, in Asher and in Aloth. 1 Ki. 4:16
Jehoshaphat the son of Paruah, in Issachar. 1 Ki. 4:17
Shimei the son of Ela, in Benjamin. 1 Ki. 4:18
Geber the son of Uri, in the land of Gilead, the land of Sihon the king of the Amorites, and of Og the king of Bashan; and he was the only superintendent that was in the land. 1 Ki. 4:19
Judah and Israel were many, as the sand which is by the sea in multitude, eating and drinking and making merry. 1 Ki. 4:20
And Solomon ruled over all kingdoms from the river to the land of the Philistines, and as far as the border of Egypt: they brought presents, and served Solomon all the days of his life. 1 Ki. 4:21
ten fatted oxen, and twenty oxen out of the pastures, and a hundred sheep, besides harts, and gazelles, and fallow-deer, and fatted fowl. 1 Ki. 4:23
For he had dominion over all on this side the river, from Tiphsah as far as Gazah, over all the kings on this side the river; and he had peace on all sides round about. 1 Ki. 4:24
And Judah and Israel dwelt safely, every man under his vine and under his fig-tree, from Dan even to Beer-sheba, all the days of Solomon. 1 Ki. 4:25
And the barley, and the straw for the horses and coursers, they brought to the place where the superintendents were, every man according to his charge. 1 Ki. 4:28
And God gave Solomon wisdom and very great understanding and largeness of heart, even as the sand that is on the sea-shore. 1 Ki. 4:29
And Solomon's wisdom excelled the wisdom of all the sons of the east, and all the wisdom of Egypt. 1 Ki. 4:30
For he was wiser than all men; than Ethan the Ezrahite, and Heman, and Calcol, and Darda, the sons of Mahol; and his fame was in all the nations round about. 1 Ki. 4:31
And he spoke of the trees, from the cedar-tree that is on Lebanon even to the hyssop that springs out of the wall; he spoke also of cattle, and of fowls, and of creeping things, and of fishes. 1 Ki. 4:33
And there came of all peoples to hear the wisdom of Solomon, from all the kings of the earth who had heard of his wisdom. 1 Ki. 4:34
And Hiram king of Tyre sent his servants to Solomon; for he had heard that they had anointed him king in the place of his father; for Hiram always loved David. 1 Ki. 5:1
Thou knowest that David my father could not build a house unto the name of Jehovah his God, because of the wars which were about him on every side, until Jehovah put them under the soles of his feet. 1 Ki. 5:3
And behold, I purpose to build a house unto the name of Jehovah my God, as Jehovah spoke to David my father saying, Thy son, whom I will set upon thy throne in thy stead, he shall build a house unto my name. 1 Ki. 5:5
And now command that they hew me cedar-trees out of Lebanon; and my servants shall be with thy servants; and I will give thee hire for thy servants according to all that thou shalt say; for thou knowest that there is not among us any that are experienced in cutting timber like to the Zidonians. 1 Ki. 5:6
And it came to pass when Hiram heard the words of Solomon, that he rejoiced greatly, and said, Blessed be Jehovah this day, who has given to David a wise son over this great people. 1 Ki. 5:7
And Hiram sent to Solomon, saying, I have heard the things which thou sentest to me for: I will do all thy desire concerning timber of cedar, and concerning timber of cypress. 1 Ki. 5:8
My servants shall bring them down from Lebanon to the sea; and I will convey them by sea in rafts to the place that thou shalt appoint me, and will cause them to be broken up there, and thou shalt receive them. And thou shalt accomplish my desire in giving food for my household. 1 Ki. 5:9
And king Solomon raised a levy out of all Israel; and the levy was thirty thousand men. 1 Ki. 5:13
And he sent them to Lebanon, ten thousand a month by courses; a month they were in Lebanon, two months at home; and Adoniram was over the levy. 1 Ki. 5:14
And Solomon had seventy thousand that bore burdens, and eighty thousand stone-masons in the mountains; 1 Ki. 5:15
besides the overseers whom Solomon had set over the work, three thousand three hundred, who ruled over the people that wrought in the work. 1 Ki. 5:16
And the king commanded, and they brought great stones, costly stones, hewn stones, to lay the foundation of the house. 1 Ki. 5:17
And Solomon's builders and Hiram's builders and the Giblites hewed them, and prepared timber and stones to build the house. 1 Ki. 5:18
And it came to pass in the four hundred and eightieth year after the children of Israel were come out of the land of Egypt, in the fourth year of Solomon's reign over Israel, in the month Zif, which is the second month, that he began to build the house of Jehovah. 1 Ki. 6:1
And the house that king Solomon built for Jehovah was sixty cubits in length, and twenty in breadth, and thirty cubits in height. 1 Ki. 6:2
And the porch, in front of the temple of the house, was twenty cubits in length, in front of the house broadways, and ten cubits was its breadth, in front of the house. 1 Ki. 6:3
And for the house he made closed windows with fixed lattices. 1 Ki. 6:4
And against the wall of the house he built floors round about, against the walls of the house, round about the temple and the oracle; and he made side-chambers round about. 1 Ki. 6:5
The lowest floor was five cubits broad, and the middle one was six cubits broad, and the third was seven cubits broad; for in the thickness of the wall of the house he made resets round about outside, that nothing should be fastened in the walls of the house. 1 Ki. 6:6
And the house, when it was being built, was built of stone entirely made ready before it was brought thither; so that there was neither hammer nor axe nor any tool of iron heard in the house while it was being built. 1 Ki. 6:7
The entrance to the side-chambers of the middle floor was in the right side of the house; and they went up by winding stairs into the middle floor, and out of the middle into the third. 1 Ki. 6:8
And he built the house, and finished it; and covered the house with beams and boards of cedar. 1 Ki. 6:9
And he built the floors against all the house, five cubits high; and they held to the house by the timbers of cedar. 1 Ki. 6:10
And the word of Jehovah came to Solomon saying, 1 Ki. 6:11
and I will dwell among the children of Israel, and will not forsake my people Israel. 1 Ki. 6:13
And Solomon built the house and finished it. 1 Ki. 6:14
And he built the walls of the house within with boards of cedar, from the floor of the house to the walls of the roof; he overlaid them on the inside with wood, and overlaid the floor of the house with boards of cypress. 1 Ki. 6:15
And he built twenty cubits of the innermost part of the house, both floor and walls, with boards of cedar; and he built them for it within, to be the oracle, the most holy place. 1 Ki. 6:16
And the house, that is, the temple before it, was forty cubits long. 1 Ki. 6:17
And the cedar of the house within was carved with colocynths and half-open flowers: all was cedar; there was no stone seen. 1 Ki. 6:18
And he prepared the oracle in the midst of the house within, to set there the ark of the covenant of Jehovah. 1 Ki. 6:19
And the oracle within was twenty cubits in length, and twenty cubits in breadth, and twenty cubits in the height thereof; and he overlaid it with pure gold; and he overlaid the cedar-wood altar -- 1 Ki. 6:20
and Solomon overlaid the house within with pure gold, and shut off the oracle in front with chains of gold, and overlaid it with gold. 1 Ki. 6:21
And the whole house he overlaid with gold, the whole house entirely; also the whole altar that was by the oracle he overlaid with gold. 1 Ki. 6:22
And he made in the oracle two cherubim of olive-wood, ten cubits high; 1 Ki. 6:23
and one wing of the cherub was five cubits, and five cubits the other wing of the cherub, ten cubits from the end of one wing to the end of the other wing; 1 Ki. 6:24
and the other cherub was ten cubits: both the cherubim were of one measure and one form. 1 Ki. 6:25
The height of the one cherub was ten cubits, and so of the other cherub. 1 Ki. 6:26
And he set the cherubim in the midst of the inner house; and the wings of the cherubim were stretched forth, so that the wing of the one touched the wall, and the wing of the other cherub touched the other wall; and their wings touched, wing to wing, in the midst of the house. 1 Ki. 6:27
And he overlaid the cherubim with gold. 1 Ki. 6:28
And he carved all the walls of the house round about with carved sculptures of cherubim, and palm-trees, and half-open flowers, within and without. 1 Ki. 6:29
And the floor of the house he overlaid with gold, within and without. 1 Ki. 6:30
And for the entrance of the oracle he made doors of olive-wood: the lintel and side posts were the fifth part of the breadth of the house. 1 Ki. 6:31
The two doors were of olive-wood; and he carved on them carvings of cherubim, and palm-trees and half-open flowers, and overlaid them with gold, and spread gold on the cherubim and on the palm-trees. 1 Ki. 6:32
And he also made for the doorway of the temple posts of olive-wood, of the fourth part of the breadth of the house. 1 Ki. 6:33
And the two folding-doors were of cypress-wood: the two leaves of the one door were folding, and the two leaves of the other door were folding. 1 Ki. 6:34
And he carved on them cherubim, and palm-trees, and half-open flowers; and overlaid them with gold fitted on the carved work. 1 Ki. 6:35
And he built the inner court of three rows of hewn stone, and a row of cedar-beams. 1 Ki. 6:36
In the fourth year was the foundation of the house of Jehovah laid, in the month Zif; 1 Ki. 6:37
and in the eleventh year, in the month Bul, which is the eighth month, was the house finished in all its parts, and according to all the fashion of it. So he was seven years in building it. 1 Ki. 6:38
And he built the house of the forest of Lebanon; its length was a hundred cubits, and its breadth fifty cubits, and its height thirty cubits, upon four rows of cedar-pillars, with cedar-beams upon the pillars; 1 Ki. 7:2
and it was covered with cedar above upon the side-chambers, which were on forty-five pillars, fifteen in a row. 1 Ki. 7:3
And all the doors and posts were square, with an architrave; and window was against window in three ranks. 1 Ki. 7:5
And he made the porch of pillars; its length was fifty cubits, and its breadth thirty cubits; and there was a porch in front of them; and there were pillars, and steps in front of them. 1 Ki. 7:6
And he made the porch for the throne where he judged, the porch of judgment; and it was covered with cedar from floor to floor. 1 Ki. 7:7
And his house where he dwelt had another court within the porch, which was of the like work. And he made, like to this porch, a house for Pharaoh's daughter, whom Solomon had taken. 1 Ki. 7:8
All these buildings were of costly stones, hewn stones, according to the measures, sawed with saws, within and without, even from the foundation to the coping, and on the outside as far as the great court. 1 Ki. 7:9
And the foundations were of costly stones, great stones, stones of ten cubits and stones of eight cubits. 1 Ki. 7:10
And above were costly stones, hewn stones, according to the measures, and cedar. 1 Ki. 7:11
And the great court round about had three rows of hewn stones, and a row of cedar-beams; and so it was for the inner court of the house of Jehovah, and the porch of the house. 1 Ki. 7:12
He was a widow's son of the tribe of Naphtali, and his father was a man of Tyre, a worker in brass; and he was full of wisdom and understanding and knowledge, to do all kinds of works in brass. And he came to king Solomon, and made all his work. 1 Ki. 7:14
And he formed the two pillars of brass; the height of one pillar was eighteen cubits, and a line of twelve cubits encompassed the second pillar. 1 Ki. 7:15
And he made two capitals of molten brass, to set upon the tops of the pillars; the height of the one capital was five cubits, and the height of the other capital was five cubits; 1 Ki. 7:16
and nets of checker-work, wreaths of chain-work, for the capitals which were upon the top of the pillars; seven for the one capital and seven for the other capital. 1 Ki. 7:17
And he made pomegranates, namely two rows round about upon the one network, to cover the capitals that were upon the top of the pillars; and so he did for the other capital. 1 Ki. 7:18
And the capitals that were upon the top of the pillars were of lily-work as in the porch, four cubits. 1 Ki. 7:19
And the capitals upon the two pillars, above also, close to the enlargement which was behind the network, had two hundred pomegranates in rows round about, also on the other capital. 1 Ki. 7:20
And he set up the pillars for the porch of the temple; and he set up the right pillar, and called its name Jachin; and he set up the left pillar, and called its name Boaz. 1 Ki. 7:21
And upon the top of the pillars was lily-work; and the work of the pillars was finished. 1 Ki. 7:22
And he made the sea, molten, ten cubits from brim to brim, round all about; and its height was five cubits; and a line of thirty cubits encompassed it round about. 1 Ki. 7:23
And under the brim of it round about there were colocynths, encompassing it, ten in a cubit enclosing the sea round about; two rows of colocynths, cast when it was cast. 1 Ki. 7:24
It stood upon twelve oxen, three looking toward the north, and three looking toward the west, and three looking toward the south, and three looking toward the east; and the sea was above upon them, and all their hinder parts were inward. 1 Ki. 7:25
And its thickness was a hand-breadth, and its brim was like the work of the brim of a cup, with lily-blossoms; it held two thousand baths. 1 Ki. 7:26
And he made ten bases of brass: four cubits was the length of one base, and the breadth four cubits, and the height three cubits. 1 Ki. 7:27
And the work of the bases was this: they had panels, and the panels were between the fillets. 1 Ki. 7:28
And on the panels that were between the fillets were lions, oxen and cherubim; and over the fillets there was a base above; and beneath the lions and oxen were garlands of festoon-work. 1 Ki. 7:29
And every base had four wheels of brass, and axles of brass; and on its four corners were shoulder-pieces: under the laver were shoulder-pieces molten, behind every garland. 1 Ki. 7:30
And the mouth of it within the crown and above was a cubit; and its mouth was rounded, as the work of the base, a cubit and a half; and also upon its mouth was sculpture; but their panels were square, not round. 1 Ki. 7:31
And the four wheels were under the panels; and the supports of the wheels were in the base; and the height of a wheel was a cubit and half a cubit. 1 Ki. 7:32
And the work of the wheels was like the work of a chariot wheel: their supports, and their rims, and their spokes and their naves were all molten. 1 Ki. 7:33
And there were four shoulder-pieces to the four corners of one base; of the base itself were its shoulder-pieces. 1 Ki. 7:34
And in the top of the base there was a circular elevation of half a cubit round about; and on the top of the base its stays and its panels were of the same. 1 Ki. 7:35
And he engraved on the plates of its stays and on its panels cherubim, lions and palm-trees, according to the space upon each; and garlands were round about. 1 Ki. 7:36
After this manner he made the ten bases: all of them had one casting, one measure, one form. 1 Ki. 7:37
And he made ten lavers of brass: one laver contained forty baths; every laver was four cubits; upon every one of the ten bases one laver. 1 Ki. 7:38
And he put the bases, five on the right side of the house, and five on the left side of the house; and he set the sea on the right side of the house eastward, over against the south. 1 Ki. 7:39
And Hiram made the lavers, and the shovels, and the bowls. So Hiram ended doing all the work that he made for king Solomon for the house of Jehovah: 1 Ki. 7:40
two pillars, and the globes of the capitals that were on the top of the pillars, two; and the two networks, to cover the two globes of the capitals which were on the top of the pillars; 1 Ki. 7:41
and the four hundred pomegranates for the two networks, two rows of pomegranates for one network, to cover the two globes of the capitals which were upon the pillars; 1 Ki. 7:42
and the ten bases, and the ten lavers on the bases; 1 Ki. 7:43
and one sea, and the twelve oxen under the sea; 1 Ki. 7:44
and the pots, and the shovels, and the bowls. And all these things, which Hiram made king Solomon for the house of Jehovah, were of bright brass. 1 Ki. 7:45
In the plain of the Jordan did the king cast them, in the clay-ground between Succoth and Zaretan. 1 Ki. 7:46
And Solomon left all the vessels unweighed from their exceeding number; the weight of the brass was not ascertained. 1 Ki. 7:47
And Solomon made all the vessels that were in the house of Jehovah: the golden altar; and the table of gold, whereon was the shewbread; 1 Ki. 7:48
and the candlesticks of pure gold, five on the right, and five on the left, before the oracle; and the flowers, and the lamps, and the tongs of gold, 1 Ki. 7:49
and the basons, and the knives, and the bowls, and the cups, and the censers of pure gold; and the hinges of gold, for the folding-doors of the inner house, the most holy place, and for the doors of the house, of the temple. 1 Ki. 7:50
And all the work was finished that king Solomon made for the house of Jehovah. And Solomon brought in the things that David his father had dedicated; the silver and the gold and the vessels he put among the treasures of the house of Jehovah. 1 Ki. 7:51
Then Solomon assembled the elders of Israel, and all the heads of the tribes, the princes of the fathers of the children of Israel, unto king Solomon in Jerusalem, to bring up the ark of the covenant of Jehovah out of the city of David, which is Zion. 1 Ki. 8:1
And all the men of Israel assembled themselves to king Solomon at the feast in the month Ethanim, that is, the seventh month. 1 Ki. 8:2
And all the elders of Israel came; and the priests took up the ark. 1 Ki. 8:3
And they brought up the ark of Jehovah, and the tent of meeting, and all the holy vessels that were in the tent: the priests and the Levites brought them up. 1 Ki. 8:4
And king Solomon, and all the assembly of Israel that were assembled to him, who were with him before the ark, sacrificed sheep and oxen, which could not be counted nor numbered for multitude. 1 Ki. 8:5
And the priests brought in the ark of the covenant of Jehovah to its place, into the oracle of the house, into the most holy place, under the wings of the cherubim; 1 Ki. 8:6
for the cherubim stretched forth their wings over the place of the ark, and the cherubim covered the ark and its staves above. 1 Ki. 8:7
And the staves were long, so that the ends of the staves were seen from the holy place before the oracle, but they were not seen without. And there they are to this day. 1 Ki. 8:8
There was nothing in the ark save the two tables of stone which Moses placed there at Horeb, when Jehovah made a covenant with the children of Israel, when they came out of the land of Egypt. 1 Ki. 8:9
And it came to pass when the priests were come out of the holy place, that the cloud filled the house of Jehovah, 1 Ki. 8:10
and the priests could not stand to do their service because of the cloud; for the glory of Jehovah had filled the house of Jehovah. 1 Ki. 8:11
Then said Solomon: Jehovah said that he would dwell in the thick darkness. 1 Ki. 8:12
And the king turned his face, and blessed the whole congregation of Israel; and the whole congregation of Israel stood. 1 Ki. 8:14
And he said: Blessed be Jehovah the God of Israel, who spoke with his mouth unto David my father, and hath with his hand fulfilled it, saying, 1 Ki. 8:15
Since the day that I brought forth my people Israel out of Egypt, I chose no city out of all the tribes of Israel to build a house in, that my name might be there; but I have chosen David to be over my people Israel. 1 Ki. 8:16
And it was in the heart of David my father to build a house unto the name of Jehovah the God of Israel. 1 Ki. 8:17
nevertheless thou shalt not build the house; but thy son that shall come forth out of thy loins, he shall build the house unto my name. 1 Ki. 8:19
And Jehovah has performed his word which he spoke; and I am risen up in the room of David my father, and sit on the throne of Israel, as Jehovah promised, and I have built the house unto the name of Jehovah the God of Israel. 1 Ki. 8:20
And I have set there a place for the ark, wherein is the covenant of Jehovah, which he made with our fathers when he brought them out of the land of Egypt. 1 Ki. 8:21
And Solomon stood before the altar of Jehovah in the presence of the whole congregation of Israel, and spread forth his hands toward the heavens. 1 Ki. 8:22
And he said, Jehovah, God of Israel! there is no God like thee, in the heavens above, or on the earth beneath, who keepest covenant and mercy with thy servants that walk before thee with all their heart; 1 Ki. 8:23
And now, Jehovah, God of Israel, keep with thy servant David my father that which thou hast promised him, saying, There shall not fail thee a man in my sight to sit on the throne of Israel, if only thy sons take heed to their way, to walk before me as thou hast walked before me. 1 Ki. 8:25
But will God indeed dwell on the earth? Behold, the heavens, and the heaven of heavens, cannot contain thee; how much less this house which I have built! 1 Ki. 8:27
Yet have respect unto the prayer of thy servant, and to his supplication, Jehovah, my God, to hearken unto the cry and to the prayer which thy servant prayeth before thee this day; 1 Ki. 8:28
that thine eyes may be open upon this house night and day, upon the place of which thou hast said, My name shall be there: to hearken unto the prayer which thy servant prayeth toward this place. 1 Ki. 8:29
And hearken unto the supplication of thy servant, and of thy people Israel, when they shall pray toward this place, and hear thou in thy dwelling-place, in the heavens, and when thou hearest, forgive. 1 Ki. 8:30
If a man have sinned against his neighbour, and an oath be laid upon him to adjure him, and the oath come before thine altar in this house; 1 Ki. 8:31
then hear thou in the heavens, and do, and judge thy servants, condemning the wicked, to bring his way upon his own head; and justifying the righteous, giving him according to his righteousness. 1 Ki. 8:32
When thy people Israel are put to the worse before the enemy, because they have sinned against thee, and shall turn again to thee, and confess thy name, and pray, and make supplication unto thee in this house; 1 Ki. 8:33
then hear thou in the heavens, and forgive the sin of thy people Israel, and bring them again unto the land that thou gavest unto their fathers. 1 Ki. 8:34
When the heavens are shut up, and there is no rain, because they have sinned against thee; if they pray toward this place, and confess thy name, and turn from their sin, because thou hast afflicted them; 1 Ki. 8:35
then hear thou in the heavens, and forgive the sin of thy servants, and of thy people Israel, when thou teachest them the good way wherein they should walk; and give rain upon thy land, which thou hast given to thy people for an inheritance. 1 Ki. 8:36
If there be famine in the land, if there be pestilence, if there be blight, mildew, locust, caterpillar; if their enemy besiege them in the land of their gates; whatever plague, whatever sickness there be: 1 Ki. 8:37
what prayer, what supplication soever be made by any man, of all thy people Israel, when they shall know every man the plague of his own heart, and shall spread forth his hands toward this house; 1 Ki. 8:38
then hear thou in the heavens, the settled place of thy dwelling, and forgive, and do, and render unto every man according to all his ways, whose heart thou knowest (for thou, thou only, knowest the hearts of all the children of men), 1 Ki. 8:39
that they may fear thee all the days that they live upon the land which thou gavest unto our fathers. 1 Ki. 8:40
And as to the stranger also, who is not of thy people Israel, but cometh out of a far country for thy name's sake 1 Ki. 8:41
hear thou in the heavens thy dwelling-place, and do according to all that the stranger calleth to thee for; in order that all peoples of the earth may know thy name, and that they may fear thee as do thy people Israel; and that they may know that this house which I have built is called by thy name. 1 Ki. 8:43
If thy people go out to battle against their enemy, by the way that thou shalt send them, and they pray to Jehovah toward the city that thou hast chosen, and the house that I have built unto thy name; 1 Ki. 8:44
then hear thou in the heavens their prayer and their supplication, and maintain their right. 1 Ki. 8:45
If they have sinned against thee, (for there is no man that sinneth not,) and thou be angry with them, and give them up to the enemy, and they have carried them away captives unto the enemy's land, far or near; 1 Ki. 8:46
and if they shall take it to heart in the land whither they were carried captive, and repent, and make supplication unto thee in the land of them that carried them captive, saying, We have sinned, and have done iniquity, we have dealt perversely; 1 Ki. 8:47
and if they return unto thee with all their heart and with all their soul, in the land of their enemies who led them away captive, and pray unto thee toward their land which thou gavest unto their fathers, the city that thou hast chosen, and the house that I have built unto thy name; 1 Ki. 8:48
then hear thou in the heavens, the settled place of thy dwelling, their prayer and their supplication, and maintain their right; 1 Ki. 8:49
(for they are thy people, and thine inheritance, which thou broughtest forth out of Egypt, from the midst of the furnace of iron) -- 1 Ki. 8:51
thine eyes being open unto the supplication of thy servant, and unto the supplication of thy people Israel, to hearken unto them in all that they call for unto thee. 1 Ki. 8:52
For thou hast separated them from among all peoples of the earth, to be thine inheritance, as thou spokest through Moses thy servant, when thou broughtest our fathers out of Egypt, O Lord Jehovah. 1 Ki. 8:53
And it was so, that when Solomon had ended praying all this prayer and supplication to Jehovah, he arose from before the altar of Jehovah, from kneeling on his knees with his hands spread forth to the heavens, 1 Ki. 8:54
and he stood and blessed the whole congregation of Israel with a loud voice, saying, 1 Ki. 8:55
And let these my words, with which I have made supplication before Jehovah, be nigh to Jehovah our God day and night, that he maintain the right of his servant, and the right of his people Israel, as the matter of each day shall require; 1 Ki. 8:59
that all peoples of the earth may know that Jehovah is God, that there is none else; 1 Ki. 8:60
And the king, and all Israel with him, offered sacrifices before Jehovah. 1 Ki. 8:62
And Solomon sacrificed a sacrifice of peace-offerings, which he sacrificed to Jehovah, twenty-two thousand oxen and a hundred and twenty thousand sheep. So the king and all the children of Israel dedicated the house of Jehovah. 1 Ki. 8:63
The same day the king hallowed the middle of the court that was before the house of Jehovah; for there he offered the burnt-offerings, and the oblations, and the fat of the peace-offerings, because the brazen altar that was before Jehovah was too small to receive the burnt-offerings, and the oblations, and the fat of the peace-offerings. 1 Ki. 8:64
And at that time Solomon held the feast, and all Israel with him, a great congregation, from the entrance of Hamath unto the torrent of Egypt, before Jehovah our God, seven days and seven days, fourteen days. 1 Ki. 8:65
On the eighth day he sent the people away; and they blessed the king, and went to their tents, joyful and glad of heart for all the goodness that Jehovah had done to David his servant, and to Israel his people. 1 Ki. 8:66
And it came to pass when Solomon had completed the building of the house of Jehovah, and the king's house, and all Solomon's desire which he was pleased to do, 1 Ki. 9:1
that Jehovah appeared to Solomon the second time, as he had appeared to him at Gibeon. 1 Ki. 9:2
then will I establish the throne of thy kingdom over Israel for ever, as I promised to David thy father, saying, There shall not fail thee a man upon the throne of Israel. 1 Ki. 9:5
then will I cut off Israel out of the land which I have given them; and the house, which I have hallowed to my name, will I cast out of my sight; and Israel shall be a proverb and a by word among all peoples; 1 Ki. 9:7
And they shall say, Because they forsook Jehovah their God, who brought forth their fathers out of the land of Egypt, and have attached themselves to other gods, and have worshipped them and served them; therefore has Jehovah brought upon them all this evil. 1 Ki. 9:9
And it came to pass at the end of twenty years, when Solomon had built the two houses, the house of Jehovah and the king's house, 1 Ki. 9:10
Hiram the king of Tyre having furnished Solomon with cedar-trees and cypress-trees, and with gold, according to all his desire, -- that then king Solomon gave Hiram twenty cities in the land of Galilee. 1 Ki. 9:11
And Hiram came out from Tyre to see the cities that Solomon had given him; and they did not please him. 1 Ki. 9:12
And he said, What cities are these which thou hast given me, my brother? And he called them the land of Cabul to this day. 1 Ki. 9:13
And Hiram had sent to the king one hundred and twenty talents of gold. 1 Ki. 9:14
And this is the account of the levy which king Solomon raised, to build the house of Jehovah, and his own house, and Millo, and the wall of Jerusalem, and Hazor, and Megiddo, and Gezer. 1 Ki. 9:15
-- Pharaoh king of Egypt had gone up and taken Gezer, and burned it with fire, and slain the Canaanites that dwelt in the city, and given it as a dowry to his daughter, Solomon's wife. 1 Ki. 9:16
and Baalath, and Tadmor in the wilderness, in the land, 1 Ki. 9:18
and all the store-cities that Solomon had, and cities for chariots, and cities for the horsemen, and that which Solomon desired to build in Jerusalem, and on Lebanon, and in all the land of his dominion. 1 Ki. 9:19
All the people that were left of the Amorites, the Hittites, the Perizzites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites, who were not of the children of Israel, 1 Ki. 9:20
their children that were left after them in the land, whom the children of Israel were not able utterly to destroy, upon them did Solomon impose a tribute of bondservice until this day. 1 Ki. 9:21
But of the children of Israel did Solomon make no bondmen; but they were men of war, and his servants, and his chiefs, and his captains, and captains of his chariots, and his horsemen. 1 Ki. 9:22
These were the chief superintendents that were over Solomon's work, five hundred and fifty, that ruled over the people that wrought in the work. 1 Ki. 9:23
But Pharaoh's daughter came up out of the city of David to her house which he had built for her: then he built Millo. 1 Ki. 9:24
And three times in the year did Solomon offer up burnt-offerings and peace-offerings upon the altar that he had built to Jehovah, and he burned incense upon that which was before Jehovah. So he finished the house. 1 Ki. 9:25
And king Solomon made a fleet of ships in Ezion-Geber, which is beside Eloth, on the shore of the Red Sea, in the land of Edom. 1 Ki. 9:26
And Hiram sent in the fleet his servants, shipmen that had knowledge of the sea, with the servants of Solomon; 1 Ki. 9:27
And the queen of Sheba heard of the fame of Solomon in connection with the name of Jehovah, and came to prove him with enigmas. 1 Ki. 10:1
And Solomon explained to her all she spoke of: there was not a thing hidden from the king that he did not explain to her. 1 Ki. 10:3
And when the queen of Sheba saw all Solomon's wisdom, and the house that he had built, 1 Ki. 10:4
and the food of his table, and the deportment of his servants, and the order of service of his attendants, and their apparel, and his cupbearers, and his ascent by which he went up to the house of Jehovah, there was no more spirit in her. 1 Ki. 10:5
And she said to the king, It was a true report that I heard in mine own land of thine affairs, and of thy wisdom; 1 Ki. 10:6
but I gave no credit to the words, until I came and mine eyes had seen; and behold, the half was not told me: in wisdom and prosperity thou exceedest the report that I heard. 1 Ki. 10:7
Blessed be Jehovah thy God, who delighted in thee, to set thee on the throne of Israel! Because Jehovah loves Israel for ever, therefore did he make thee king, to do judgment and justice. 1 Ki. 10:9
And she gave the king a hundred and twenty talents of gold, and spices in very great abundance, and precious stones: there came no more such abundance of spices as those which the queen of Sheba gave to king Solomon. 1 Ki. 10:10
(And the fleet also of Hiram, which carried gold from Ophir, brought from Ophir sandal-wood in very great abundance, and precious stones. 1 Ki. 10:11
And the king made of the sandal-wood a balustrade for the house of Jehovah, and for the king's house, and harps and lutes for the singers. There came no such sandal-wood, nor was there seen to this day.) 1 Ki. 10:12
And king Solomon gave to the queen of Sheba all her desire, whatever she asked, besides what he gave her of the bounty of king Solomon. And she turned and went to her own land, she and her servants. 1 Ki. 10:13
And the weight of gold that came to Solomon in one year was six hundred and sixty-six talents of gold, 1 Ki. 10:14
besides what came by the dealers, and by the traffic of the merchants, and by all the kings of Arabia, and by the governors of the country. 1 Ki. 10:15
and three hundred shields of beaten gold, -- he applied three minas of gold to one shield; and the king put them in the house of the forest of Lebanon. 1 Ki. 10:17
And the king made a great throne of ivory, and overlaid it with refined gold: 1 Ki. 10:18
the throne had six steps, and the top of the throne was rounded behind; and there were arms on each side at the place of the seat, and two lions stood beside the arms; 1 Ki. 10:19
and twelve lions stood there on the one side and on the other upon the six steps: there was not the like made in any kingdom. 1 Ki. 10:20
And all king Solomon's drinking vessels were of gold, and all the vessels of the house of the forest of Lebanon were of precious gold: none were of silver, which was not of the least account in the days of Solomon. 1 Ki. 10:21
For the king had on the sea a Tarshish-fleet, with the fleet of Hiram: once in three years came the Tarshish-fleet, bringing gold and silver, ivory, and apes, and peacocks. 1 Ki. 10:22
And king Solomon was greater than all the kings of the earth in riches and in wisdom. 1 Ki. 10:23
And all the earth sought the presence of Solomon, to hear his wisdom, which God had put in his heart. 1 Ki. 10:24
And Solomon gathered chariots and horsemen; and he had a thousand four hundred chariots, and twelve thousand horsemen; and he placed them in the chariot-cities, and with the king at Jerusalem. 1 Ki. 10:26
And the king made silver in Jerusalem as stones, and cedars made he as the sycamores that are in the lowland for abundance. 1 Ki. 10:27
And the exportation of horses that Solomon had was from Egypt: a caravan of the king's merchants fetched a drove of horses, at a price. 1 Ki. 10:28
And a chariot came up and went out of Egypt for six hundred shekels of silver, and a horse for a hundred and fifty; and so they brought them by their means, for all the kings of the Hittites and for the kings of Syria. 1 Ki. 10:29
But king Solomon loved many foreign women, besides the daughter of Pharaoh: women of the Moabites, Ammonites, Edomites, Zidonians, Hittites; 1 Ki. 11:1
of the nations of which Jehovah had said to the children of Israel, Ye shall not go in to them, neither shall they come in to you; they would certainly turn away your heart after their gods: to these Solomon was attached in love. 1 Ki. 11:2
And it came to pass when Solomon was old, that his wives turned away his heart after other gods; and his heart was not perfect with Jehovah his God, as the heart of David his father. 1 Ki. 11:4
And Solomon went after Ashtoreth the goddess of the Zidonians, and after Milcom the abomination of the Ammonites. 1 Ki. 11:5
And Solomon did evil in the sight of Jehovah, and followed not fully Jehovah, as David his father. 1 Ki. 11:6
Then did Solomon build a high place for Chemosh the abomination of the Moabites, on the hill that is before Jerusalem, and for Molech the abomination of the children of Ammon. 1 Ki. 11:7
And Jehovah was angry with Solomon, because his heart was turned away from Jehovah the God of Israel, who had appeared to him twice, 1 Ki. 11:9
And Jehovah said to Solomon, Forasmuch as this is done by thee, and thou hast not kept my covenant and my statutes which I commanded thee, I will certainly rend the kingdom from thee, and will give it to thy servant: 1 Ki. 11:11
notwithstanding in thy days I will not do it, for David thy father's sake; I will rend it out of the hand of thy son; 1 Ki. 11:12
only, I will not rend away all the kingdom: I will give one tribe to thy son, for David my servant's sake, and for Jerusalem's sake which I have chosen. 1 Ki. 11:13
And Jehovah stirred up an adversary to Solomon, Hadad the Edomite; he was of the king's seed in Edom. 1 Ki. 11:14
Now it came to pass when David was in Edom, when Joab the captain of the host had gone up to bury the slain, after he had smitten every male in Edom 1 Ki. 11:15
And Hadad found great favour in the sight of Pharaoh, and he gave him as wife the sister of his own wife, the sister of Tahpenes the queen. 1 Ki. 11:19
And the sister of Tahpenes bore him Genubath his son; and Tahpenes brought him up in Pharaoh's house; and Genubath was in Pharaoh's household, among the sons of Pharaoh. 1 Ki. 11:20
And Hadad heard in Egypt that David slept with his fathers, and that Joab the captain of the host was dead; and Hadad said to Pharaoh, Let me depart, that I may go to mine own country. 1 Ki. 11:21
God stirred him up yet an adversary, Rezon the son of Eliada, who had fled from Hadadezer king of Zobah, his lord. 1 Ki. 11:23
And he was an adversary to Israel all the days of Solomon, besides the mischief that Hadad did; and he abhorred Israel, and reigned over Syria. 1 Ki. 11:25
And Jeroboam the son of Nebat, an Ephrathite of Zeredah, Solomon's servant (whose mother's name was Zeruah, a widow woman), even he lifted up his hand against the king. 1 Ki. 11:26
And this was the cause that he lifted up his hand against the king: Solomon was building Millo, and closing the breach of the city of David his father; 1 Ki. 11:27
and the man Jeroboam was strong and valiant; and Solomon saw the young man that he was industrious, and he made him ruler over all the charge of the house of Joseph. 1 Ki. 11:28
And it came to pass at that time that Jeroboam went out of Jerusalem, and the prophet Ahijah the Shilonite found him in the way; and he had clad himself with a new garment; and they two were alone in the field. 1 Ki. 11:29
Then Ahijah seized the new garment that was on him, and rent it in twelve pieces; 1 Ki. 11:30
and said to Jeroboam, Take thee ten pieces; for thus saith Jehovah the God of Israel: Behold, I will rend the kingdom out of the hand of Solomon, and will give ten tribes to thee; 1 Ki. 11:31
but one tribe shall he have for my servant David's sake, and for Jerusalem's sake, the city which I have chosen out of all the tribes of Israel: 1 Ki. 11:32
because they have forsaken me, and have worshipped Ashtoreth the goddess of the Zidonians, Chemosh the god of the Moabites, and Milcom the god of the children of Ammon, and have not walked in my ways, to do that which is right in my sight, and my statutes and mine ordinances, as David his father. 1 Ki. 11:33
But I will not take the whole kingdom out of his hand; for I will make him prince all the days of his life for David my servant's sake, whom I chose, who kept my commandments and my statutes; 1 Ki. 11:34
but I will take the kingdom out of his son's hand, and will give it unto thee, -- the ten tribes. 1 Ki. 11:35
And unto his son will I give one tribe, that David my servant may have a lamp always before me in Jerusalem, the city that I have chosen for myself to put my name there. 1 Ki. 11:36
And I will for this afflict the seed of David, but not for ever. 1 Ki. 11:39
And Solomon sought to kill Jeroboam; and Jeroboam arose and fled into Egypt, to Shishak king of Egypt; and he was in Egypt until the death of Solomon. 1 Ki. 11:40
And the rest of the acts of Solomon, and all that he did, and his wisdom, are they not written in the book of the acts of Solomon? 1 Ki. 11:41
And the time that Solomon reigned in Jerusalem over all Israel was forty years. 1 Ki. 11:42
And Solomon slept with his fathers, and was buried in the city of David his father; and Rehoboam his son reigned in his stead. 1 Ki. 11:43
And it came to pass when Jeroboam the son of Nebat heard it (now he was yet in Egypt, whither he had fled from the presence of king Solomon, and Jeroboam dwelt in Egypt; 1 Ki. 12:2
and they sent and called him), that Jeroboam and all the congregation of Israel came and spoke to Rehoboam, saying, 1 Ki. 12:3
Thy father made our yoke grievous; and now lighten thou the grievous servitude of thy father and his heavy yoke that he put upon us, and we will serve thee. 1 Ki. 12:4
And he said to them, Depart yet for three days, then come again to me. And the people departed. 1 Ki. 12:5
And king Rehoboam consulted with the old men, who had stood before Solomon his father while he yet lived, saying, How do ye advise to return answer to this people? 1 Ki. 12:6
But he forsook the advice of the old men which they had given him, and consulted with the young men, who had grown up with him, that stood before him. 1 Ki. 12:8
And he said to them, What advice give ye that we may return answer to this people who have spoken to me saying, Lighten the yoke which thy father put upon us? 1 Ki. 12:9
And the young men that had grown up with him spoke to him saying, Thus shalt thou say to this people that have spoken to thee saying, Thy father made our yoke heavy, and lighten thou it for us, -- thus shalt thou say to them: My little finger is thicker than my father's loins; 1 Ki. 12:10
And Jeroboam and all the people came to Rehoboam the third day, as the king had appointed saying, Come again to me on the third day. 1 Ki. 12:12
And the king answered the people roughly, and forsook the advice of the old men which they had given him; 1 Ki. 12:13
and he spoke to them according to the advice of the young men, saying, My father made your yoke heavy, but *I* will add to your yoke: my father chastised you with whips, but *I* will chastise you with scorpions. 1 Ki. 12:14
So the king hearkened not to the people; for it was brought about by Jehovah, that he might give effect to his word, which Jehovah spoke through Ahijah the Shilonite to Jeroboam the son of Nebat. 1 Ki. 12:15
And all Israel saw that the king hearkened not to them; and the people answered the king saying, What portion have we in David? And we have no inheritance in the son of Jesse: To your tents, O Israel! Now see to thine own house, David! And Israel went to their tents. 1 Ki. 12:16
But as for the children of Israel that dwelt in the cities of Judah, Rehoboam reigned over them. 1 Ki. 12:17
And king Rehoboam sent Adoram, who was over the levy; but all Israel stoned him with stones, that he died. And king Rehoboam hastened to mount his chariot, to flee to Jerusalem. 1 Ki. 12:18
And Israel rebelled against the house of David, unto this day. 1 Ki. 12:19
And it came to pass when all Israel heard that Jeroboam had come back, that they sent and called him to the assembly, and made him king over all Israel: none followed the house of David, but the tribe of Judah only. 1 Ki. 12:20
And Rehoboam came to Jerusalem; and he assembled all the house of Judah, with the tribe of Benjamin, a hundred and eighty thousand chosen men apt for war, to fight against the house of Israel, that he might bring the kingdom again to Rehoboam the son of Solomon. 1 Ki. 12:21
But the word of God came to Shemaiah the man of God, saying, 1 Ki. 12:22
Speak unto Rehoboam, the son of Solomon, king of Judah, and unto all the house of Judah and Benjamin, and to the remainder of the people, saying, 1 Ki. 12:23
Thus saith Jehovah: Go not up, nor fight with your brethren, the children of Israel; return every man to his house, for this thing is from me. And they hearkened to the word of Jehovah, and returned to depart, according to the word of Jehovah. 1 Ki. 12:24
And Jeroboam said in his heart, Now shall the kingdom return to the house of David. 1 Ki. 12:26
If this people go up to do sacrifice in the house of Jehovah at Jerusalem, the heart of this people will turn again to their lord, to Rehoboam king of Judah, and they will kill me, and return to Rehoboam king of Judah. 1 Ki. 12:27
And the king took counsel, and made two calves of gold. And he said to them, It is too much for you to go up to Jerusalem: behold thy gods, Israel, which brought thee up out of the land of Egypt! 1 Ki. 12:28
And he set the one in Bethel, and the other he put in Dan. 1 Ki. 12:29
And this thing became a sin; and the people went to worship before the one, as far as Dan. 1 Ki. 12:30
And he made a house of high places, and made priests from all classes of the people, who were not of the sons of Levi. 1 Ki. 12:31
And Jeroboam ordained a feast in the eighth month, on the fifteenth day of the month, like the feast that was in Judah, and he offered upon the altar. So did he in Bethel, sacrificing to the calves that he had made; and he placed in Bethel the priests of the high places that he had made. 1 Ki. 12:32
And he offered upon the altar that he had made in Bethel, on the fifteenth day of the eighth month, in the month which he had devised of his own heart; and he made a feast for the children of Israel, and he offered upon the altar, burning incense. 1 Ki. 12:33
And behold, there came a man of God from Judah, by the word of Jehovah, to Bethel; and Jeroboam stood by the altar to burn incense. 1 Ki. 13:1
And he cried against the altar by the word of Jehovah, and said, O altar, altar! thus saith Jehovah: Behold, a child shall be born unto the house of David, Josiah by name; and upon thee shall he sacrifice the priests of the high places that burn incense upon thee, and men's bones shall be burned upon thee. 1 Ki. 13:2
And he gave a sign the same day, saying, This is the sign that Jehovah hath spoken: Behold, the altar shall be rent, and the ashes that are upon it shall be poured out. 1 Ki. 13:3
And it came to pass when the king heard the word of the man of God, which he cried against the altar in Bethel, that Jeroboam stretched forth his hand from the altar, saying, Lay hold on him. And his hand which he stretched out against him dried up, so that he could not bring it back again to him. 1 Ki. 13:4
And the altar was rent, and the ashes poured out from the altar, according to the sign that the man of God had given by the word of Jehovah. 1 Ki. 13:5
And the king answered and said to the man of God, Intreat now Jehovah thy God, and pray for me, that my hand may be restored to me again. And the man of God intreated Jehovah, and the king's hand was restored to him again, and became as before. 1 Ki. 13:6
And the king said to the man of God, Come home with me, and refresh thyself, and I will give thee a present. 1 Ki. 13:7
And the man of God said to the king, If thou wilt give me half thy house, I will not go in with thee, neither will I eat bread nor drink water in this place; 1 Ki. 13:8
for so was it charged me by the word of Jehovah, saying, Thou shalt eat no bread, nor drink water, nor return by the way that thou shalt go. 1 Ki. 13:9
So he went another way, and returned not by the way that he had come to Bethel. 1 Ki. 13:10
Now there dwelt a certain old prophet in Bethel; and his sons came and told him all the works that the man of God had done that day in Bethel; the words that he had spoken to the king, them they told also to their father. 1 Ki. 13:11
And their father said to them, Which way went he? for his sons had seen which way the man of God went, who came from Judah. 1 Ki. 13:12
And he said to his sons, Saddle me the ass. So they saddled him the ass; and he rode thereon, 1 Ki. 13:13
and went after the man of God, and found him sitting under a terebinth; and he said to him, Art thou the man of God that camest from Judah? And he said, I am. 1 Ki. 13:14
For it was said to me by the word of Jehovah, Thou shalt eat no bread nor drink water there, nor turn again to go by the way that thou wentest. 1 Ki. 13:17
And he said to him, I am a prophet also as thou art; and an angel spoke to me by the word of Jehovah saying, Bring him back with thee into thy house, that he may eat bread and drink water. He lied unto him. 1 Ki. 13:18
And it came to pass as they sat at the table, that the word of Jehovah came to the prophet that brought him back; 1 Ki. 13:20
and he cried to the man of God that came from Judah, saying, Thus saith Jehovah: Forasmuch as thou hast disobeyed the word of Jehovah, and hast not kept the commandment that Jehovah thy God commanded thee, 1 Ki. 13:21
but camest back, and hast eaten bread and drunk water in the place of which he said to thee, Eat no bread and drink no water; thy carcase shall not come to the sepulchre of thy fathers. 1 Ki. 13:22
And it came to pass, after he had eaten bread, and after he had drunk, that he saddled the ass for him, for the prophet that he had brought back; 1 Ki. 13:23
and he departed. And a lion met him by the way and slew him; and his corpse was cast in the way, and the ass stood by it; the lion also stood by the corpse. 1 Ki. 13:24
And behold, men passed by, and saw the corpse cast in the way and the lion standing by the corpse; and they came and told it in the city where the old prophet dwelt. 1 Ki. 13:25
And the prophet that brought him back from the way heard of it and said, It is the man of God who was disobedient to the word of Jehovah; therefore Jehovah has delivered him to the lion, which has torn him and slain him, according to the word of Jehovah which he spoke to him. 1 Ki. 13:26
And he spoke to his sons saying, Saddle me the ass; and they saddled it. 1 Ki. 13:27
And he went and found his corpse cast in the way, and the ass and the lion standing by the corpse: the lion had not eaten the corpse, nor torn the ass. 1 Ki. 13:28
And the prophet took up the corpse of the man of God, and laid it upon the ass, and brought it back; and the old prophet came into the city, to mourn and to bury him. 1 Ki. 13:29
And it came to pass after he had buried him, that he spoke to his sons saying, When I am dead, bury me in the sepulchre in which the man of God is buried; lay my bones beside his bones. 1 Ki. 13:31
For the word that he cried by the word of Jehovah against the altar in Bethel, and against all the houses of the high places that are in the cities of Samaria, shall certainly come to pass. 1 Ki. 13:32
After this thing Jeroboam turned not from his evil way, but made again from all classes of the people priests of the high places: whosoever would, he consecrated him, and he became one of the priests of the high places. 1 Ki. 13:33
And by this thing there was sin on the house of Jeroboam, even to cut it off and to destroy it from off the face of the earth. 1 Ki. 13:34
At that time Abijah the son of Jeroboam was sick. 1 Ki. 14:1
And Jeroboam said to his wife, Arise, I pray thee, and disguise thyself, that thou be not known to be the wife of Jeroboam; and go to Shiloh: behold, there is Ahijah the prophet, who told me that I should be king over this people. 1 Ki. 14:2
And take with thee ten loaves, and cakes, and a cruse of honey, and go to him: he will tell thee what shall become of the lad. 1 Ki. 14:3
And Jeroboam's wife did so, and arose and went to Shiloh, and came to the house of Ahijah. And Ahijah could not see; for his eyes were set by reason of his age. 1 Ki. 14:4
And Jehovah said to Ahijah, Behold, the wife of Jeroboam cometh to ask a thing of thee about her son; for he is sick: thus and thus shalt thou say unto her; for it shall be, when she cometh in, that she shall feign to be another. 1 Ki. 14:5
And it was so, when Ahijah heard the sound of her feet, as she came in at the door, that he said, Come in, thou wife of Jeroboam; why feignest thou to be another? But I am sent to thee with a hard message. 1 Ki. 14:6
Go, tell Jeroboam, Thus saith Jehovah the God of Israel: Forasmuch as I exalted thee from among the people, and made thee prince over my people Israel, 1 Ki. 14:7
and rent the kingdom away from the house of David, and gave it thee; and thou hast not been as my servant David, who kept my commandments, and who followed me with all his heart, to do only that which is right in my sight; 1 Ki. 14:8
therefore behold, I will bring evil upon the house of Jeroboam, and will cut off from Jeroboam every male, him that is shut up and left in Israel, and will take away the house of Jeroboam, as a man taketh away dung, till it be all gone. 1 Ki. 14:10
Him that dieth of Jeroboam in the city shall the dogs eat, and him that dieth in the field shall the fowl of the heavens eat; for Jehovah hath spoken. 1 Ki. 14:11
And thou, arise, go to thine own house; when thy feet enter into the city, the child shall die. 1 Ki. 14:12
And all Israel shall mourn for him, and they shall bury him; for he only of Jeroboam shall come to the grave, because in him there is found something good toward Jehovah the God of Israel, in the house of Jeroboam. 1 Ki. 14:13
And Jehovah shall raise up for himself a king over Israel, who shall cut off the house of Jeroboam that day; and what? ... even now. 1 Ki. 14:14
And Jehovah will smite Israel, as a reed is shaken in the water, and he will root up Israel out of this good land which he gave to their fathers, and will scatter them beyond the river, because they have made their Asherahs, provoking Jehovah to anger. 1 Ki. 14:15
And he will give Israel up because of the sins of Jeroboam, wherewith he has sinned, and made Israel to sin. 1 Ki. 14:16
And Jeroboam's wife arose and departed, and came to Tirzah; when she came to the threshold of the door, the child died. 1 Ki. 14:17
And they buried him; and all Israel mourned for him, according to the word of Jehovah, which he spoke through his servant Ahijah the prophet. 1 Ki. 14:18
And the rest of the acts of Jeroboam, how he warred, and how he reigned, behold, they are written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel. 1 Ki. 14:19
And the days that Jeroboam reigned were twenty-two years; and he slept with his fathers. And Nadab his son reigned in his stead. 1 Ki. 14:20
And Rehoboam the son of Solomon reigned in Judah. Rehoboam was forty-one years old when he began to reign, and he reigned seventeen years in Jerusalem, the city that Jehovah had chosen out of all the tribes of Israel to put his name there; and his mother's name was Naamah, an Ammonitess. 1 Ki. 14:21
And Judah did evil in the sight of Jehovah, and they provoked him to jealousy with their sins which they committed more than all that their fathers had done. 1 Ki. 14:22
and there were also sodomites in the land. They did according to all the abominations of the nations that Jehovah had dispossessed before the children of Israel. 1 Ki. 14:24
And it came to pass in the fifth year of king Rehoboam, that Shishak king of Egypt came up against Jerusalem. 1 Ki. 14:25
And he took away the treasures of the house of Jehovah, and the treasures of the king's house; he even took away all; and he took away all the shields of gold that Solomon had made. 1 Ki. 14:26
And king Rehoboam made in their stead brazen shields, and committed them to the hands of the chief of the couriers who kept the entrance of the king's house. 1 Ki. 14:27
And it was so, that as often as the king entered into the house of Jehovah, the couriers bore them, and brought them again into the chamber of the couriers. 1 Ki. 14:28
And the rest of the acts of Rehoboam, and all that he did, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah? 1 Ki. 14:29
And Rehoboam slept with his fathers, and was buried with his fathers in the city of David. And his mother's name was Naamah, an Ammonitess. And Abijam his son reigned in his stead. 1 Ki. 14:31
And in the eighteenth year of king Jeroboam the son of Nebat began Abijam to reign over Judah. 1 Ki. 15:1
And he walked in all the sins of his father, which he had done before him; and his heart was not perfect with Jehovah his God, as the heart of David his father. 1 Ki. 15:3
because David did that which was right in the sight of Jehovah, and turned not aside from anything that he commanded him all the days of his life, except in the matter of Urijah the Hittite. 1 Ki. 15:5
And there had been war between Rehoboam and Jeroboam all the days of his life. 1 Ki. 15:6
And the rest of the acts of Abijam, and all that he did, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah? And there was war between Abijam and Jeroboam. 1 Ki. 15:7
And Abijam slept with his fathers; and they buried him in the city of David. And Asa his son reigned in his stead. 1 Ki. 15:8
And in the twentieth year of Jeroboam king of Israel, Asa began to reign over Judah; 1 Ki. 15:9
And Asa did what was right in the sight of Jehovah, as David his father. 1 Ki. 15:11
And he put away the sodomites out of the land, and removed all the idols that his father had made. 1 Ki. 15:12
And also Maachah his mother he removed from being queen, because she had made an idol for the Asherah; and Asa cut down her idol, and burned it in the valley of Kidron. 1 Ki. 15:13
But the high places were not removed; only, Asa's heart was perfect with Jehovah all his days. 1 Ki. 15:14
And he brought into the house of Jehovah the things which his father had dedicated, and the things which he himself had dedicated, silver and gold and vessels. 1 Ki. 15:15
And Asa took all the silver and the gold that were left in the treasures of the house of Jehovah, and in the treasures of the king's house, and gave them into the hand of his servants; and king Asa sent them to Ben-Hadad, the son of Tabrimmon, the son of Hezion, king of Syria, who dwelt at Damascus, saying, 1 Ki. 15:18
And Ben-Hadad hearkened to king Asa, and sent the captains of his forces against the cities of Israel, and smote Ijon, and Dan, and Abel-Beth-Maachah, and all Kinneroth, with all the land of Naphtali. 1 Ki. 15:20
And king Asa called together all Judah: none was exempted; and they carried away the stones and the timber from Ramah, with which Baasha had been building; and king Asa built with them Geba of Benjamin, and Mizpah. 1 Ki. 15:22
And the rest of all the acts of Asa, and all his might, and all that he did, and the cities that he built, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah? Only, in the time of his old age he was diseased in his feet. 1 Ki. 15:23
And Asa slept with his fathers, and was buried with his fathers in the city of David his father. And Jehoshaphat his son reigned in his stead. 1 Ki. 15:24
And Nadab the son of Jeroboam began to reign over Israel in the second year of Asa king of Judah; and he reigned over Israel two years. 1 Ki. 15:25
And he did evil in the sight of Jehovah, and walked in the way of his father, and in his sin with which he made Israel sin. 1 Ki. 15:26
And Baasha the son of Ahijah, of the house of Issachar, conspired against him; and Baasha smote him at Gibbethon, which belonged to the Philistines, when Nadab and all Israel were besieging Gibbethon. 1 Ki. 15:27
And Baasha slew him in the third year of Asa king of Judah, and reigned in his stead. 1 Ki. 15:28
And it came to pass when he was king, he smote all the house of Jeroboam; he left to Jeroboam none that breathed; until he had destroyed him, according to the word of Jehovah which he spoke by his servant Ahijah the Shilonite, 1 Ki. 15:29
because of the sins of Jeroboam which he sinned, and wherewith he made Israel to sin; by his provocation with which he provoked Jehovah the God of Israel to anger. 1 Ki. 15:30
And the rest of the acts of Nadab, and all that he did, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel? 1 Ki. 15:31
In the third year of Asa king of Judah began Baasha the son of Ahijah to reign over all Israel in Tirzah, for twenty-four years. 1 Ki. 15:33
And he did evil in the sight of Jehovah, and walked in the way of Jeroboam, and in his sin where with he made Israel to sin. 1 Ki. 15:34
And the word of Jehovah came to Jehu the son of Hanani against Baasha, saying, 1 Ki. 16:1
Forasmuch as I exalted thee out of the dust, and made thee prince over my people Israel, and thou hast walked in the way of Jeroboam, and hast made my people Israel to sin, provoking me to anger with their sins; 1 Ki. 16:2
behold, I will take away Baasha and his house, and will make thy house like the house of Jeroboam the son of Nebat. 1 Ki. 16:3
Him that dieth of Baasha in the city shall the dogs eat, and him that dieth of his in the field shall the fowl of the heavens eat. 1 Ki. 16:4
And the rest of the acts of Baasha, and what he did, and his might, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel? 1 Ki. 16:5
And also through the prophet Jehu the son of Hanani the word of Jehovah came against Baasha, and against his house, even for all the evil that he did in the sight of Jehovah, provoking him to anger with the work of his hands, in being like the house of Jeroboam; and because he had smitten him. 1 Ki. 16:7
In the twenty-sixth year of Asa king of Judah, Elah the son of Baasha began to reign over Israel in Tirzah for two years. 1 Ki. 16:8
And his servant Zimri, captain of half his chariots, conspired against him; and he was in Tirzah, drinking himself drunk in the house of Arza, who was the steward of his house in Tirzah; 1 Ki. 16:9
and Zimri went in and smote him, and killed him, in the twenty-seventh year of Asa king of Judah, and he reigned in his stead. 1 Ki. 16:10
And it came to pass when he began to reign, as soon as he sat on his throne, he slew all the house of Baasha: he left him not a male, neither of his kinsmen nor of his friends. 1 Ki. 16:11
And Zimri destroyed all the house of Baasha, according to the word of Jehovah, which he spoke against Baasha through Jehu the prophet, 1 Ki. 16:12
for all the sins of Baasha, and the sins of Elah his son, which they sinned and wherewith they made Israel to sin, provoking Jehovah the God of Israel to anger with their vanities. 1 Ki. 16:13
And the rest of the acts of Elah, and all that he did, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel? 1 Ki. 16:14
In the twenty-seventh year of Asa king of Judah, Zimri reigned seven days in Tirzah. Now the people were encamped against Gibbethon, which belonged to the Philistines. 1 Ki. 16:15
And the people that were encamped heard say, Zimri has conspired, and has also smitten the king; and all Israel made Omri, the captain of the host, king over Israel that day in the camp. 1 Ki. 16:16
And it came to pass when Zimri saw that the city was taken, that he went into the citadel of the king's house, and burned the king's house over him with fire; 1 Ki. 16:18
and he died for his sins which he sinned in doing evil in the sight of Jehovah, in walking in the way of Jeroboam, and in his sin which he did, making Israel to sin. 1 Ki. 16:19
And the rest of the acts of Zimri, and his conspiracy which he wrought, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel? 1 Ki. 16:20
Then were the people of Israel divided into two parts: half of the people followed Tibni the son of Ginath, to make him king; and half followed Omri. 1 Ki. 16:21
But the people that followed Omri overcame the people that followed Tibni the son of Ginath; and Tibni died, and Omri reigned. 1 Ki. 16:22
In the thirty-first year of Asa king of Judah, Omri began to reign over Israel, -- twelve years; he reigned six years in Tirzah. 1 Ki. 16:23
And he bought the hill Samaria of Shemer for two talents of silver; and built on the hill, and called the name of the city that he built, after the name of Shemer, owner of the hill, Samaria. 1 Ki. 16:24
And Omri wrought evil in the sight of Jehovah, and did worse than all that were before him. 1 Ki. 16:25
And he walked in all the way of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, and in his sins wherewith he made Israel to sin, provoking Jehovah the God of Israel to anger with their vanities. 1 Ki. 16:26
And the rest of the acts of Omri, what he did, and his might which he shewed, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel? 1 Ki. 16:27
And Ahab the son of Omri began to reign over Israel in the thirty-eighth year of Asa king of Judah; and Ahab the son of Omri reigned over Israel in Samaria twenty-two years. 1 Ki. 16:29
And Ahab the son of Omri wrought evil in the sight of Jehovah more than all that were before him. 1 Ki. 16:30
And it came to pass, as if it was a light thing for him to walk in the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, that he took as wife Jezebel the daughter of Ethbaal king of the Zidonians; and he went and served Baal and worshipped him. 1 Ki. 16:31
And he reared up an altar for Baal in the house of Baal, which he built in Samaria. 1 Ki. 16:32
And Ahab made the Asherah; and Ahab did more to provoke Jehovah the God of Israel to anger than all the kings of Israel that were before him. 1 Ki. 16:33
In his days Hiel the Bethelite built Jericho; he laid its foundation in Abiram his firstborn, and set up its gates in Segub his youngest, according to the word of Jehovah which he spoke through Joshua the son of Nun. 1 Ki. 16:34
And Elijah the Tishbite, of the inhabitants of Gilead, said to Ahab, As Jehovah the God of Israel liveth, before whom I stand, there shall not be dew nor rain these years, except by my word. 1 Ki. 17:1
And the word of Jehovah came to him saying, 1 Ki. 17:2
Get thee hence, and turn thee eastward, and hide thyself by the torrent Cherith, which is before the Jordan. 1 Ki. 17:3
And it shall be, that thou shalt drink of the torrent; and I have commanded the ravens to feed thee there. 1 Ki. 17:4
And he went and did according to the word of Jehovah; he went and abode by the torrent Cherith, which is before the Jordan. 1 Ki. 17:5
And the ravens brought him bread and flesh in the morning, and bread and flesh in the evening; and he drank of the torrent. 1 Ki. 17:6
And it came to pass after a while that the torrent dried up, for there had been no rain in the land. 1 Ki. 17:7
And the word of Jehovah came to him saying, 1 Ki. 17:8
And he arose and went to Zarephath; and when he came to the entrance of the city, behold, a widow woman was there gathering sticks. And he called to her and said, Fetch me, I pray thee, a little water in a vessel, that I may drink. 1 Ki. 17:10
For thus saith Jehovah the God of Israel: The meal in the barrel shall not waste, neither shall the oil in the cruse fail, until the day that Jehovah sendeth rain upon the face of the earth! 1 Ki. 17:14
And she went and did according to the word of Elijah; and she, and he, and her house, ate a whole year. 1 Ki. 17:15
The meal in the barrel did not waste, neither did the oil in the cruse fail, according to the word of Jehovah which he had spoken through Elijah. 1 Ki. 17:16
And it came to pass after these things, that the son of the woman, the mistress of the house, fell sick; and his sickness was so severe that there was no breath left in him. 1 Ki. 17:17
And he said to her, Give me thy son. And he took him out of her bosom, and carried him up into the upper chamber where he abode, and laid him upon his own bed. 1 Ki. 17:19
And he cried to Jehovah and said, Jehovah, my God, hast thou also brought evil upon the widow with whom I sojourn, by slaying her son? 1 Ki. 17:20
And he stretched himself upon the child three times, and cried to Jehovah and said, Jehovah, my God, I pray thee, let this child's soul come into him again! 1 Ki. 17:21
And Jehovah heard the voice of Elijah, and the soul of the child came into him again, and he lived. 1 Ki. 17:22
And Elijah took the child, and brought him down from the upper chamber into the house, and delivered him to his mother; and Elijah said, See, thy son lives. 1 Ki. 17:23
And the woman said to Elijah, Now by this I know that thou art a man of God, and that the word of Jehovah in thy mouth is truth. 1 Ki. 17:24
And it came to pass after many days, that the word of Jehovah came to Elijah in the third year, saying, Go, shew thyself to Ahab; and I will send rain upon the face of the earth. 1 Ki. 18:1
And Elijah went to shew himself to Ahab. And the famine was severe in Samaria. 1 Ki. 18:2
And Ahab called Obadiah, who was the steward of his house (now Obadiah feared Jehovah greatly; 1 Ki. 18:3
and it was so, when Jezebel cut off the prophets of Jehovah, that Obadiah took a hundred prophets, and hid them by fifty in a cave, and maintained them with bread and water); 1 Ki. 18:4
and Ahab said to Obadiah, Go through the land, to all the fountains of water and to all the torrents, perhaps we may find grass to save the horses and the mules alive, so that we may not have to destroy some of our beasts. 1 Ki. 18:5
And they divided the land between them to pass through it: Ahab went one way by himself, and Obadiah went another way by himself. 1 Ki. 18:6
And as Obadiah was on the way, behold, Elijah met him; and he knew him, and fell on his face, and said, Is it indeed thou, my lord Elijah? 1 Ki. 18:7
And he said, What have I sinned, that thou givest thy servant into the hand of Ahab, to put me to death? 1 Ki. 18:9
As Jehovah thy God liveth, there is no nation or kingdom whither my lord has not sent to seek thee; and when they said, He is not here, he took an oath of the kingdom or nation that they found thee not. 1 Ki. 18:10
And it shall come to pass when I am gone from thee, that the Spirit of Jehovah shall carry thee whither I know not; and when I come and tell Ahab, and he cannot find thee, he will kill me; and I thy servant fear Jehovah from my youth. 1 Ki. 18:12
Was it not told my lord what I did when Jezebel slew the prophets of Jehovah, how I hid a hundred men of Jehovah's prophets by fifty in a cave, and maintained them with bread and water? 1 Ki. 18:13
And it came to pass when Ahab saw Elijah, that Ahab said to him, Is it thou, the troubler of Israel? 1 Ki. 18:17
And he said, I have not troubled Israel, but thou and thy father's house, in that ye have forsaken the commandments of Jehovah, and thou hast followed the Baals. 1 Ki. 18:18
And now send, gather to me all Israel to mount Carmel, and the prophets of Baal four hundred and fifty, and the prophets of the Asherah four hundred, who eat at Jezebel's table. 1 Ki. 18:19
So Ahab sent to all the children of Israel, and gathered the prophets together unto mount Carmel. 1 Ki. 18:20
Then Elijah drew near to all the people, and said, How long do ye halt between two opinions? if Jehovah be God, follow him; and if Baal, follow him. And the people answered him not a word. 1 Ki. 18:21
And Elijah said to the people, I, only I, remain a prophet of Jehovah; and Baal's prophets are four hundred and fifty men. 1 Ki. 18:22
Let them therefore give us two bullocks: and let them choose one bullock for themselves, and cut it in pieces, and put it on the wood, and put no fire; and I will sacrifice the other bullock, and put it on the wood, and put no fire. 1 Ki. 18:23
And call ye on the name of your gods, and I will call on the name of Jehovah; and the god that answers by fire, let him be God. And all the people answered and said, The word is good. 1 Ki. 18:24
And Elijah said to the prophets of Baal, Choose one bullock for yourselves, and sacrifice it first; for ye are the many; and call on the name of your god, but put no fire. 1 Ki. 18:25
And they took the bullock which had been given them, and sacrificed it, and called on the name of Baal from morning until noon, saying, O Baal, answer us! But there was no voice, and none answered. And they leaped about the altar that had been made. 1 Ki. 18:26
And they cried aloud, and cut themselves after their manner with swords and spears, till the blood gushed out upon them. 1 Ki. 18:28
And it came to pass when midday was past, that they prophesied until the time of the offering up of the oblation; but there was neither voice, nor any that answered, nor any attention. 1 Ki. 18:29
Then Elijah said to all the people, Draw near to me. And all the people drew near to him. And he repaired the altar of Jehovah which was broken down. 1 Ki. 18:30
And Elijah took twelve stones, according to the number of the tribes of the sons of Jacob, to whom the word of Jehovah came saying, Israel shall be thy name; 1 Ki. 18:31
and with the stones he built an altar in the name of Jehovah, and made a trench round about the altar, of the capacity of two measures of seed; 1 Ki. 18:32
and he put the wood in order, and cut the bullock in pieces, and laid it on the wood. And he said, Fill four pitchers with water, and pour it on the burnt-offering, and on the wood. 1 Ki. 18:33
And he said, Do it the second time. And they did it the second time. And he said, Do it the third time. And they did it the third time. 1 Ki. 18:34
And the water ran round about the altar; and he filled the trench also with water. 1 Ki. 18:35
And it came to pass at the time of the offering up of the oblation, that Elijah the prophet drew near, and said, Jehovah, God of Abraham, Isaac and Israel, let it be known this day that thou art God in Israel, and that I am thy servant, and that I have done all these things by thy word. 1 Ki. 18:36
And the fire of Jehovah fell, and consumed the burnt-offering, and the wood, and the stones, and the dust, and licked up the water that was in the trench. 1 Ki. 18:38
And all the people saw it, and they fell on their faces and said, Jehovah, he is God! Jehovah, he is God! 1 Ki. 18:39
And Elijah said to them, Seize the prophets of Baal; let not one of them escape! And they seized them; and Elijah brought them down to the torrent of Kishon, and slaughtered them there. 1 Ki. 18:40
And Ahab went up to eat and to drink. And Elijah went up to the top of Carmel; and he bowed down on the earth, and put his face between his knees. 1 Ki. 18:42
And he said to his servant, Go up now, look toward the sea. And he went up and looked, and said, There is nothing. And he said, Go again seven times. 1 Ki. 18:43
And it came to pass at the seventh time that he said, Behold there is a cloud, small as a man's hand, arising out of the sea. And he said, Go up, say to Ahab, Harness and go down, that the pour of rain stop thee not. 1 Ki. 18:44
And it came to pass in the mean while, that the heavens became black with clouds and wind, and there was a great pour of rain. And Ahab got on the chariot, and went to Jizreel. 1 Ki. 18:45
And the hand of Jehovah was upon Elijah; and he girded up his loins, and ran before Ahab to the entrance of Jizreel. 1 Ki. 18:46
And Ahab told Jezebel all that Elijah had done, and in detail how he had slain all the prophets with the sword. 1 Ki. 19:1
And Jezebel sent a messenger to Elijah saying, So do the gods to me, and more also, if I make not thy life as the life of one of them by to-morrow about this time! 1 Ki. 19:2
And he himself went a day's journey into the wilderness, and came and sat down under a certain broom-bush, and requested for himself that he might die; and said, It is enough: now, Jehovah, take my life; for I am not better than my fathers. 1 Ki. 19:4
And he lay down and slept under the broom-bush. And behold, an angel touched him, and said to him, Arise, eat! 1 Ki. 19:5
And the angel of Jehovah came again the second time, and touched him, and said, Arise, eat; for the journey is too great for thee. 1 Ki. 19:7
And he arose, and ate and drank, and went in the strength of that food forty days and forty nights to Horeb the mount of God. 1 Ki. 19:8
And there he went into a cave, and lodged there. And behold, the word of Jehovah came to him, and he said to him, What doest thou here, Elijah? 1 Ki. 19:9
And he said, I have been very jealous for Jehovah the God of hosts; for the children of Israel have forsaken thy covenant, thrown down thine altars, and slain thy prophets with the sword; and I am left, I alone, and they seek my life, to take it away. 1 Ki. 19:10
And he said, Go forth, and stand upon the mount before Jehovah. And behold, Jehovah passed by, and a great and strong wind rent the mountains, and broke in pieces the rocks before Jehovah: Jehovah was not in the wind. And after the wind, an earthquake: Jehovah was not in the earthquake. 1 Ki. 19:11
And after the earthquake, a fire: Jehovah was not in the fire. And after the fire, a soft gentle voice. 1 Ki. 19:12
And it came to pass, when Elijah heard it, that he wrapped his face in his mantle, and went out, and stood in the entrance of the cave. And behold, a voice came to him and said, What doest thou here, Elijah? 1 Ki. 19:13
And he said, I have been very jealous for Jehovah the God of hosts; for the children of Israel have forsaken thy covenant, thrown down thine altars, and slain thy prophets with the sword; and I am left, I alone, and they seek my life, to take it away. 1 Ki. 19:14
And Jehovah said to him, Go, return on thy way to the wilderness of Damascus; and when thou comest, anoint Hazael king over Syria; 1 Ki. 19:15
and Jehu the son of Nimshi shalt thou anoint king over Israel; and Elisha the son of Shaphat of Abel-meholah shalt thou anoint prophet in thy stead. 1 Ki. 19:16
And it shall come to pass, that him that escapeth the sword of Hazael shall Jehu slay; and him that escapeth the sword of Jehu shall Elisha slay. 1 Ki. 19:17
Yet I have left myself seven thousand in Israel, all the knees that have not bowed unto Baal, and every mouth that hath not kissed him. 1 Ki. 19:18
And he departed thence, and found Elisha the son of Shaphat, who was ploughing with twelve yokes before him, and he with the twelfth; and Elijah went over to him, and cast his mantle on him. 1 Ki. 19:19
And he left the oxen, and ran after Elijah, and said, Let me, I pray thee, kiss my father and my mother, and I will follow thee. And he said to him, Go back again; for what have I done to thee? 1 Ki. 19:20
And he returned back from him, and took the yoke of oxen, and killed them, and boiled their flesh with the implements of the oxen, and gave to the people, and they ate. And he arose and went after Elijah, and ministered to him. 1 Ki. 19:21
And he sent messengers to Ahab king of Israel into the city, and said to him, Thus says Ben-Hadad: 1 Ki. 20:2
Thy silver and thy gold is mine; thy wives also and thy children, the goodliest, are mine. 1 Ki. 20:3
And the king of Israel answered and said, My lord, O king, according to thy saying, I am thine, and all that I have. 1 Ki. 20:4
And the messengers came again, and said, Thus speaks Ben-Hadad saying: I sent to thee indeed, saying, Thou shalt deliver me thy silver, and thy gold, and thy wives, and thy children; 1 Ki. 20:5
but to-morrow about this time I will send my servants to thee, and they shall search thy house, and the houses of thy servants; and it shall be, that whatsoever is pleasant in thy sight, they shall put in their hand and take away. 1 Ki. 20:6
And the king of Israel called all the elders of the land and said, Mark, I pray you, and see how this man seeks mischief; for he sent to me for my wives, and for my children, and for my silver, and for my gold; and I denied him not. 1 Ki. 20:7
And all the elders and all the people said to him, Hearken not, nor consent. 1 Ki. 20:8
And he said to the messengers of Ben-Hadad, Tell my lord the king, All that thou didst send for to thy servant at the first I will do; but this thing I cannot do. And the messengers departed, and brought him word again. 1 Ki. 20:9
And Ben-Hadad sent to him and said, The gods do so to me, and more also, if the dust of Samaria shall suffice for handfuls for all the people that follow me! 1 Ki. 20:10
And the king of Israel answered and said, Tell him, Let not him that girdeth on boast himself as he that putteth off! 1 Ki. 20:11
And it came to pass when he heard this word, as he was drinking, he and the kings in the tents, that he said to his servants, Set yourselves. And they set themselves against the city. 1 Ki. 20:12
And Ahab said, By whom? And he said, Thus saith Jehovah: By the servants of the princes of the provinces. Then he said, Who shall begin the battle? And he said, Thou. 1 Ki. 20:14
And he numbered the servants of the princes of the provinces, and they were two hundred and thirty-two; and after them he numbered all the people, all the children of Israel, seven thousand. 1 Ki. 20:15
And they went out at noon; and Ben-Hadad drank himself drunk in the tents, he and the kings, the thirty-two kings that helped him. 1 Ki. 20:16
And the servants of the princes of the provinces went out first; and Ben-Hadad sent out, and they told him saying, There are men come out of Samaria. 1 Ki. 20:17
And these servants of the princes of the provinces came out of the city, and the army that followed them. 1 Ki. 20:19
And they slew every one his man; and the Syrians fled, and Israel pursued them; and Ben-Hadad the king of Syria escaped on a horse with the horsemen. 1 Ki. 20:20
And the king of Israel went out, and smote the horses and chariots, and slew the Syrians with a great slaughter. 1 Ki. 20:21
And the prophet drew near to the king of Israel, and said to him, Go, strengthen thyself, and understand, and see what thou shalt do; for at the return of the year the king of Syria will come up against thee. 1 Ki. 20:22
And the servants of the king of Syria said to him, Their gods are gods of the mountains; therefore they were stronger than we; but if we fight against them on the plateau, shall we not be stronger than they? 1 Ki. 20:23
And do this: take the kings away, every man out of his place, and put governors in their stead; 1 Ki. 20:24
and number thee an army, like the army that thou hast lost, horse for horse, and chariot for chariot; and we will fight against them on the plateau: shall we not be stronger than they? And he hearkened to their voice, and did so. 1 Ki. 20:25
And it came to pass, at the return of the year, that Ben-Hadad numbered the Syrians, and went up to Aphek, to fight against Israel. 1 Ki. 20:26
And the children of Israel were numbered and victualled, and they went against them; and the children of Israel encamped before them like two little flocks of goats; but the Syrians filled the land. 1 Ki. 20:27
And the man of God drew near, and spoke to the king of Israel and said, Thus saith Jehovah: Because the Syrians have said, Jehovah is a god of the mountains, but he is not a god of the valleys, I will give all this great multitude into thy hand, and ye shall know that I am Jehovah. 1 Ki. 20:28
And they encamped one over against the other seven days; and it came to pass that on the seventh day the battle was joined; and the children of Israel smote of the Syrians a hundred thousand footmen in one day. 1 Ki. 20:29
And the rest fled to Aphek, into the city; and the wall fell on twenty-seven thousand men of them that were left. And Ben-Hadad fled, and came into the city, from chamber to chamber. 1 Ki. 20:30
And his servants said to him, Behold now, we have heard that the kings of the house of Israel are merciful kings: let us, I pray thee, put sackcloth on our loins, and ropes upon our heads, and go out to the king of Israel; perhaps he will save thy life. 1 Ki. 20:31
And they girded sackcloth on their loins, and ropes on their heads, and came to the king of Israel, and said, Thy servant Ben-Hadad says, I pray thee, let me live. And he said, Is he yet alive? he is my brother. 1 Ki. 20:32
And the men took it as a good omen, and hastened to catch what came from him, and they said, Thy brother Ben-Hadad. ... And he said, Go, bring him. And Ben-Hadad came forth to him; and he caused him to come up into the chariot. 1 Ki. 20:33
And Ben-Hadad said to him, The cities that my father took from thy father I will restore; and thou shalt make streets for thyself in Damascus, as my father made in Samaria. And I said Ahab will send thee away with this covenant. So he made a covenant with him, and sent him away. 1 Ki. 20:34
And a certain man of the sons of the prophets said to another by the word of Jehovah, Smite me, I pray thee. But the man refused to smite him. 1 Ki. 20:35
Then said he to him, Because thou hast not hearkened to the voice of Jehovah, behold, when thou departest from me, the lion will slay thee. And when he had departed from him, the lion found him and slew him. 1 Ki. 20:36
Then he found another man, and said, Smite me, I pray thee. And the man smote him violently, and wounded him. 1 Ki. 20:37
And the prophet departed, and waited for the king by the way, and disguised himself with a sash over his eyes. 1 Ki. 20:38
And as the king passed by, he cried to the king and said, Thy servant went out into the midst of the battle; and behold, a man turned aside, and brought a man to me and said, Keep this man; if by any means he be missing, then shall thy life be for his life, or thou shalt pay a talent of silver. 1 Ki. 20:39
And as thy servant was busy here and there, he was gone. And the king of Israel said to him, So is thy judgment: thyself hast decided it. 1 Ki. 20:40
Then he hastily took the sash away from his face; and the king of Israel discerned him, that he was of the prophets. 1 Ki. 20:41
And he said to him, Thus saith Jehovah: Because thou hast let go out of thy hand the man that I had devoted to destruction, thy life shall be for his life, and thy people for his people. 1 Ki. 20:42
And the king of Israel went to his house sullen and vexed, and came to Samaria. 1 Ki. 20:43
And it came to pass after these things, that Naboth the Jizreelite had a vineyard, which was in Jizreel, by the side of the palace of Ahab king of Samaria. 1 Ki. 21:1
And Ahab spoke to Naboth saying, Give me thy vineyard, that I may have it for a garden of herbs, for it is near, by the side of my house; and I will give thee for it a better vineyard than it; if it seem good to thee, I will give thee its value in money. 1 Ki. 21:2
And Naboth said to Ahab, Jehovah forbid it me, that I should give the inheritance of my fathers to thee! 1 Ki. 21:3
And Ahab came into his house sullen and vexed because of the word that Naboth the Jizreelite had spoken to him; for he had said, I will not give thee the inheritance of my fathers. And he lay down on his bed, and turned away his face, and ate no bread. 1 Ki. 21:4
And he said to her, Because I spoke to Naboth the Jizreelite and said to him, Give me thy vineyard for money; or else, if it please thee, I will give thee a vineyard for it; and he said, I will not give thee my vineyard. 1 Ki. 21:6
And Jezebel his wife said to him, Dost thou now exercise sovereignty over Israel? arise, eat bread, and let thy heart be glad: I will give thee the vineyard of Naboth the Jizreelite. 1 Ki. 21:7
And she wrote a letter in Ahab's name, and sealed it with his seal, and sent the letter to the elders and to the nobles that were in his city, dwelling with Naboth. 1 Ki. 21:8
And she wrote in the letter saying, Proclaim a fast, and set Naboth at the head of the people; 1 Ki. 21:9
and set two men, sons of Belial, before him, and they shall bear witness against him saying, Thou didst curse God and the king; and carry him out, and stone him, that he may die. 1 Ki. 21:10
And the men of his city, the elders and the nobles that dwelt in his city, did as Jezebel had sent to them, as it was written in the letter that she had sent to them: 1 Ki. 21:11
they proclaimed a fast, and set Naboth at the head of the people. 1 Ki. 21:12
And there came the two men, sons of Belial, and sat before him; and the men of Belial witnessed against him, against Naboth, in the presence of the people, saying, Naboth blasphemed God and the king. And they carried him forth out of the city, and stoned him with stones, that he died. 1 Ki. 21:13
And it came to pass when Jezebel heard that Naboth was stoned and was dead, that Jezebel said to Ahab, Arise, take possession of the vineyard of Naboth the Jizreelite, which he refused to give thee for money; for Naboth is not alive, but dead. 1 Ki. 21:15
And it came to pass when Ahab heard that Naboth was dead, that Ahab rose up to go down to the vineyard of Naboth the Jizreelite, to take possession of it. 1 Ki. 21:16
And the word of Jehovah came to Elijah the Tishbite, saying, 1 Ki. 21:17
Arise, go down to meet Ahab king of Israel, who is in Samaria: behold, he is in the vineyard of Naboth, whither he is gone down to take possession of it. 1 Ki. 21:18
And thou shalt speak unto him saying, Thus saith Jehovah: Hast thou killed, and also taken possession? And thou shalt speak unto him saying, Thus saith Jehovah: In the place where the dogs licked the blood of Naboth shall the dogs lick thy blood, even thine. 1 Ki. 21:19
And Ahab said to Elijah, Hast thou found me, mine enemy? And he said, I have found thee; because thou hast sold thyself to do evil in the sight of Jehovah. 1 Ki. 21:20
and I will make thy house like the house of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, and like the house of Baasha the son of Ahijah, for the provocation wherewith thou hast provoked me to anger, and made Israel to sin. 1 Ki. 21:22
And of Jezebel also spoke Jehovah saying, The dogs shall eat Jezebel by the moat of Jizreel. 1 Ki. 21:23
Him that dieth of Ahab in the city shall the dogs eat, and him that dieth in the field shall the fowl of the heavens eat. 1 Ki. 21:24
(Surely there was none like to Ahab, who did sell himself to do evil in the sight of Jehovah, Jezebel his wife urging him on. 1 Ki. 21:25
And he did very abominably in following idols, according to all that the Amorites did, whom Jehovah had dispossessed before the children of Israel.) 1 Ki. 21:26
And the word of Jehovah came to Elijah the Tishbite, saying, 1 Ki. 21:28
Seest thou how Ahab humbleth himself before me? because he humbleth himself before me, I will not bring the evil in his days: in his son's days will I bring the evil upon his house. 1 Ki. 21:29
And it came to pass in the third year, that Jehoshaphat the king of Judah came down to the king of Israel. 1 Ki. 22:2
And the king of Israel said to his servants, Do ye know that Ramoth in Gilead is ours, and we keep quiet without taking it out of the hand of the king of Syria? 1 Ki. 22:3
And he said to Jehoshaphat, Wilt thou go with me to battle to Ramoth-Gilead? And Jehoshaphat said to the king of Israel, I am as thou, my people as thy people, my horses as thy horses. 1 Ki. 22:4
And Jehoshaphat said to the king of Israel, Inquire, I pray thee, this day of the word of Jehovah. 1 Ki. 22:5
And the king of Israel assembled the prophets, about four hundred men, and said to them, Shall I go against Ramoth-Gilead to battle, or shall I forbear? And they said, Go up, and the Lord will give it into the king's hand. 1 Ki. 22:6
And the king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat, There is yet one man by whom we may inquire of Jehovah; but I hate him, for he prophesies no good concerning me, but evil: it is Micah the son of Imlah. And Jehoshaphat said, Let not the king say so. 1 Ki. 22:8
Then the king of Israel called a chamberlain, and said, Fetch quickly Micah the son of Imlah. 1 Ki. 22:9
And the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat the king of Judah, having put on their robes, sat each on his throne, in the open place at the entrance of the gate of Samaria; and all the prophets prophesied before them. 1 Ki. 22:10
And Zedekiah the son of Chenaanah made for himself horns of iron, and he said, Thus saith Jehovah: With these shalt thou push the Syrians, until thou have exterminated them. 1 Ki. 22:11
And all the prophets prophesied so, saying, Go up to Ramoth-Gilead, and prosper; for Jehovah will give it into the king's hand. 1 Ki. 22:12
And the messenger that went to call Micah spoke to him saying, Behold now, the words of the prophets declare good to the king with one assent: let thy word, I pray thee, be like the word of one of them, and speak good. 1 Ki. 22:13
And he came to the king. And the king said to him, Micah, shall we go against Ramoth-Gilead to battle, or shall we forbear? And he said to him, Go up, and prosper; for Jehovah will give it into the hand of the king. 1 Ki. 22:15
And the king said to him, How many times shall I adjure thee that thou tell me nothing but truth in the name of Jehovah? 1 Ki. 22:16
And he said, I saw all Israel scattered upon the mountains, as sheep that have no shepherd. And Jehovah said, These have no master: let them return every man to his house in peace. 1 Ki. 22:17
And the king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat, Did I not tell thee that he prophesies no good concerning me, but evil? 1 Ki. 22:18
And he said, Hear therefore the word of Jehovah: I saw Jehovah sitting upon his throne, and all the host of heaven standing by him, on his right hand and on his left; 1 Ki. 22:19
And Jehovah said unto him, Wherewith? And he said, I will go forth, and will be a lying spirit in the mouth of all his prophets. And he said, Thou shalt entice him, and also succeed: go forth, and do so. 1 Ki. 22:22
And now, behold, Jehovah has put a lying spirit in the mouth of all these thy prophets, and Jehovah has spoken evil concerning thee. 1 Ki. 22:23
Then Zedekiah the son of Chenaanah went near, and smote Micah upon the cheek, and said, Where now went the Spirit of Jehovah from me to speak to thee? 1 Ki. 22:24
And the king of Israel said, Take Micah and carry him back to Amon the governor of the city, and to Joash the king's son; 1 Ki. 22:26
and thou shalt say, Thus says the king: Put this man in the prison, and feed him with bread of affliction and with water of affliction, until I come in peace. 1 Ki. 22:27
And the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat the king of Judah went up to Ramoth-Gilead. 1 Ki. 22:29
And the king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat, I will disguise myself, and will enter into the battle; but put thou on thy robes. And the king of Israel disguised himself, and went into the battle. 1 Ki. 22:30
And the king of Syria commanded the thirty-two captains of his chariots saying, Fight neither with small nor great, but with the king of Israel only. 1 Ki. 22:31
And it came to pass when the captains of the chariots saw Jehoshaphat, that they said, Surely that is the king of Israel; and they turned against him to fight; and Jehoshaphat cried out. 1 Ki. 22:32
And it came to pass that when the captains of the chariots perceived that it was not the king of Israel, they turned back from pursuing him. 1 Ki. 22:33
And a man drew a bow at a venture, and smote the king of Israel between the fastenings and the corslet. And he said to his charioteer, Turn thy hand, and drive me out of the camp; for I am wounded. 1 Ki. 22:34
And the battle increased that day; and the king was stayed up in his chariot against the Syrians, and he died at even; and the blood of the wound ran out into the hollow of the chariot. 1 Ki. 22:35
And there went the cry throughout the host at the going down of the sun, saying, Every man to his city, and every man to his own country! 1 Ki. 22:36
And the king died, and was brought to Samaria; and they buried the king in Samaria. 1 Ki. 22:37
And one washed the chariot in the pool of Samaria; and the dogs licked his blood, where the harlots bathed: according to the word of Jehovah, which he had spoken. 1 Ki. 22:38
And the rest of the acts of Ahab, and all that he did, and the ivory house that he built, and all the cities that he built, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel? 1 Ki. 22:39
And Jehoshaphat the son of Asa began to reign over Judah in the fourth year of Ahab king of Israel. 1 Ki. 22:41
Jehoshaphat was thirty-five years old when he began to reign; and he reigned twenty-five years in Jerusalem; and his mother's name was Azubah, the daughter of Shilhi. 1 Ki. 22:42
And he walked in all the way of Asa his father; he turned not aside from it, doing what was right in the sight of Jehovah. Only, the high places were not removed: the people offered and burned incense still on the high places. 1 Ki. 22:43
And Jehoshaphat was at peace with the king of Israel. 1 Ki. 22:44
And the rest of the acts of Jehoshaphat, and his might which he shewed, and how he warred, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah? 1 Ki. 22:45
And the remainder of the sodomites, which were left in the days of his father Asa, he put away from out of the land. 1 Ki. 22:46
Jehoshaphat made Tarshish-ships to go to Ophir for gold; but they went not, for the ships were broken at Ezion-geber. 1 Ki. 22:48
Then said Ahaziah the son of Ahab to Jehoshaphat, Let my servants go with thy servants in the ships. But Jehoshaphat would not. 1 Ki. 22:49
And Jehoshaphat slept with his fathers, and was buried with his fathers in the city of David his father; and Jehoram his son reigned in his stead. 1 Ki. 22:50
Ahaziah the son of Ahab began to reign over Israel in Samaria the seventeenth year of Jehoshaphat king of Judah; and he reigned two years over Israel. 1 Ki. 22:51
And he did evil in the sight of Jehovah, and walked in the way of his father, and in the way of his mother, and in the way of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, who made Israel to sin. 1 Ki. 22:52
And he served Baal, and worshipped him, and provoked Jehovah the God of Israel to anger, according to all that his father had done. 1 Ki. 22:53
And Moab rebelled against Israel after the death of Ahab. 2 Ki. 1:1
And Ahaziah fell down through the lattice in his upper chamber which was in Samaria, and was sick; and he sent messengers and said to them, Go, inquire of Baal-zebub the god of Ekron, whether I shall recover from this disease. 2 Ki. 1:2
And the angel of Jehovah said to Elijah the Tishbite, Arise, go up to meet the messengers of the king of Samaria, and say to them, Is it because there is not a God in Israel, that ye go to inquire of Baal-zebub the god of Ekron? 2 Ki. 1:3
Now therefore thus saith Jehovah: Thou shalt not come down from the bed on which thou art gone up, but shalt certainly die. And Elijah departed. 2 Ki. 1:4
And the messengers returned to him; and he said to them, Why have ye returned? 2 Ki. 1:5
And they said unto him, A man came up to meet us, and said to us, Go, return to the king that sent you and say to him, Thus saith Jehovah: Is it because there is not a God in Israel, that thou sendest to inquire of Baal-zebub the god of Ekron? therefore thou shalt not come down from the bed on which thou art gone up, but shalt certainly die. 2 Ki. 1:6
And they said to him, He was a man in a hairy garment, and girt with a girdle of leather about his loins. And he said, It is Elijah the Tishbite. 2 Ki. 1:8
And he sent to him a captain of fifty with his fifty. And he went up to him, and behold, he sat on the top of the mount. And he spoke to him: Man of God, the king says, Come down! 2 Ki. 1:9
And Elijah answered and said to the captain of fifty, And if I be a man of God, let fire come down from the heavens and consume thee and thy fifty. And there came down fire from the heavens, and consumed him and his fifty. 2 Ki. 1:10
And again he sent to him another captain of fifty with his fifty. And he spoke and said to him, Man of God, thus says the king: Come down quickly! 2 Ki. 1:11
And Elijah answered and said to them, If I be a man of God, let fire come down from the heavens and consume thee and thy fifty. And the fire of God came down from the heavens, and consumed him and his fifty. 2 Ki. 1:12
And again he sent the captain of a third fifty with his fifty. And the third captain of fifty went up, and came and fell on his knees before Elijah, and besought him and said to him, Man of God, I pray thee, let my life, and the life of these fifty thy servants, be precious in thy sight. 2 Ki. 1:13
Behold, there came down fire from the heavens, and consumed the two captains of the former fifties with their fifties; but now, let my life be precious in thy sight. 2 Ki. 1:14
And the angel of Jehovah said to Elijah, Go down with him: be not afraid of him. And he arose, and went down with him to the king. 2 Ki. 1:15
And he said to him, Thus saith Jehovah: Forasmuch as thou hast sent messengers to inquire of Baal-zebub the god of Ekron, is it because there is no God in Israel to inquire of his word? therefore thou shalt not come down from the bed on which thou art gone up, but shalt certainly die. 2 Ki. 1:16
And he died according to the word of Jehovah that Elijah had spoken. And Jehoram began to reign in his stead, in the second year of Jehoram the son of Jehoshaphat king of Judah; for he had no son. 2 Ki. 1:17
And the rest of the acts of Ahaziah, what he did, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel? 2 Ki. 1:18
And it came to pass when Jehovah would take up Elijah into the heavens by a whirlwind, that Elijah went with Elisha from Gilgal. 2 Ki. 2:1
And the sons of the prophets that were at Bethel came forth to Elisha, and said to him, Dost thou know that Jehovah will take away thy master from over thy head to-day? And he said, I also know it: be silent! 2 Ki. 2:3
And the sons of the prophets that were at Jericho drew near to Elisha and said to him, Dost thou know that Jehovah will take away thy master from over thy head to-day? And he said, I also know it: be silent! 2 Ki. 2:5
And Elijah said to him, Abide here, I pray thee; for Jehovah has sent me to the Jordan. And he said, As Jehovah liveth, and as thy soul liveth, I will not leave thee! And they two went on. 2 Ki. 2:6
And fifty men of the sons of the prophets went and stood opposite afar off; and they two stood by the Jordan. 2 Ki. 2:7
And Elijah took his mantle, and wrapped it together, and smote the waters, and they were divided hither and thither; and they two went over on dry ground. 2 Ki. 2:8
And it came to pass as they went on, and talked, that behold, a chariot of fire and horses of fire; and they parted them both asunder; and Elijah went up by a whirlwind into the heavens. 2 Ki. 2:11
And Elisha saw it, and he cried, My father, my father! the chariot of Israel and the horsemen thereof! And he saw him no more. Then he took hold of his own garments and rent them in two pieces. 2 Ki. 2:12
And he took up the mantle of Elijah which fell from him, and went back and stood by the bank of the Jordan; 2 Ki. 2:13
and he took the mantle of Elijah which had fallen from him, and smote the waters, and said, Where is Jehovah, the God of Elijah? He also smote the waters, and they parted hither and thither, and Elisha went over. 2 Ki. 2:14
And the sons of the prophets who were at Jericho on the opposite side saw him, and they said, The spirit of Elijah rests on Elisha. And they came to meet him, and bowed themselves to the ground before him, 2 Ki. 2:15
and said to him, Behold now, there are with thy servants fifty valiant men; let them go, we pray thee, and seek thy master, lest perhaps the Spirit of Jehovah have taken him up, and cast him upon some mountain, or into some ravine. And he said, Ye shall not send. 2 Ki. 2:16
And the men of the city said to Elisha, Behold now, the situation of the city is good, as my lord sees; but the water is bad, and the land is barren. 2 Ki. 2:19
And he went forth to the source of the waters, and cast the salt in there, and said, Thus saith Jehovah: I have healed these waters: there shall not be from thence any more death or barrenness. 2 Ki. 2:21
And the waters were healed to this day, according to the saying of Elisha which he spoke. 2 Ki. 2:22
And he went up from thence to Bethel, and as he went up by the way, there came forth little boys out of the city, and mocked him, and said to him, Go up, bald head; go up, bald head! 2 Ki. 2:23
And he turned back, and looked on them, and cursed them in the name of Jehovah. And there came forth two she-bears out of the wood, and tore forty-two children of them. 2 Ki. 2:24
And Jehoram the son of Ahab began to reign over Israel in Samaria in the eighteenth year of Jehoshaphat king of Judah; and he reigned twelve years. 2 Ki. 3:1
And he wrought evil in the sight of Jehovah, but not like his father, and like his mother; and he took away the column of Baal that his father had made. 2 Ki. 3:2
Only, he clave to the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat who made Israel to sin: he did not depart therefrom. 2 Ki. 3:3
And Mesha king of Moab was a sheepmaster, and rendered to the king of Israel a hundred thousand lambs and a hundred thousand rams, with the wool. 2 Ki. 3:4
And it came to pass when Ahab was dead, that the king of Moab rebelled against the king of Israel. 2 Ki. 3:5
And he went and sent to Jehoshaphat the king of Judah saying, The king of Moab has rebelled against me: wilt thou go with me against Moab to battle? And he said, I will go up: I am as thou, my people as thy people, my horses as thy horses. 2 Ki. 3:7
And he said, Which way shall we go up? And he said, By way of the wilderness of Edom. 2 Ki. 3:8
And the king of Israel went, and the king of Judah, and the king of Edom, and they made a circuit of seven days' journey. And there was no water for the army, and for the cattle that followed them. 2 Ki. 3:9
And the king of Israel said, Alas! that Jehovah has called these three kings together, to give them into the hand of Moab! 2 Ki. 3:10
And Jehoshaphat said, Is there not here a prophet of Jehovah that we may inquire of Jehovah by him? And one of the king of Israel's servants answered and said, Here is Elisha the son of Shaphat, who poured water on the hands of Elijah. 2 Ki. 3:11
And Jehoshaphat said, The word of Jehovah is with him. And the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat and the king of Edom went down to him. 2 Ki. 3:12
And Elisha said to the king of Israel, What have I to do with thee? go to the prophets of thy father and to the prophets of thy mother. And the king of Israel said to him, Not so, for Jehovah has called these three kings to give them into the hand of Moab. 2 Ki. 3:13
And Elisha said, As Jehovah of hosts liveth, before whom I stand, surely, were it not that I regard the presence of Jehoshaphat the king of Judah, I would not look toward thee nor see thee. 2 Ki. 3:14
And now fetch me a minstrel. And it came to pass when the minstrel played, that the hand of Jehovah was upon him. 2 Ki. 3:15
And this is a light thing in the sight of Jehovah: he will give the Moabites also into your hand. 2 Ki. 3:18
And it came to pass in the morning, when the oblation was offered up, that behold, there came water by the way of Edom, and the country was filled with water. 2 Ki. 3:20
And all the Moabites heard that the kings were come up to fight against them, and they were called together, all that were able to put on armour, and upward, and stood by the border. 2 Ki. 3:21
And they rose up early in the morning, and the sun rose upon the water, and the Moabites saw the water on the other side red as blood. 2 Ki. 3:22
And they said, This is blood: the kings are entirely destroyed, and have smitten one another; and now, Moab, to the spoil! 2 Ki. 3:23
And when they came to the camp of Israel, the Israelites rose up and smote the Moabites, and they fled before them; and they entered in and smote Moab. 2 Ki. 3:24
And they beat down the cities, and on every good piece of land cast every man his stone and filled it, and they stopped every well of water, and felled every good tree, until they left only the stones at Kirhareseth; and the slingers went about it, and smote it. 2 Ki. 3:25
And the king of Moab saw that the battle was too severe for him, and he took with him seven hundred men that drew swords, to break through to the king of Edom, but they could not. 2 Ki. 3:26
And he took his eldest son, that should have reigned in his stead, and offered him up for a burnt-offering upon the wall. And there was great wrath against Israel; and they departed from him, and returned to their own land. 2 Ki. 3:27
And a woman of the wives of the sons of the prophets cried to Elisha saying, Thy servant my husband is dead, and thou knowest that thy servant feared Jehovah; and the creditor is come to take my two children to be bondmen. 2 Ki. 4:1
And Elisha said to her, What shall I do for thee? Tell me, what hast thou in the house? And she said, Thy handmaid has not anything at all in the house but a pot of oil. 2 Ki. 4:2
and go in, and shut the door upon thee and upon thy sons, and pour out into all those vessels, and set aside what is full. 2 Ki. 4:4
And she went from him, and shut the door upon her and upon her sons: they brought the vessels to her, and she poured out. 2 Ki. 4:5
And it came to pass when the vessels were full, that she said to her son, Bring me yet a vessel. And he said to her, There is not a vessel more. And the oil stayed. 2 Ki. 4:6
And she came and told the man of God; and he said, Go, sell the oil, and pay thy debt, and live thou and thy sons on the rest. 2 Ki. 4:7
And it came to pass on a day, that he came thither, and he turned into the upper chamber, and lay there. 2 Ki. 4:11
And he said to him, Say now to her, Behold, thou hast been careful for us with all this care; what is to be done for thee? wouldest thou be spoken for to the king, or to the captain of the host? And she said, I dwell among mine own people. 2 Ki. 4:13
And he said, Call her; and he called her; and she stood in the doorway. 2 Ki. 4:15
And the woman conceived, and bore a son at that appointed time in the next year as Elisha had said to her. 2 Ki. 4:17
And the child grew, and it came to pass one day, that he went out to his father to the reapers. 2 Ki. 4:18
And he said to his father, My head, my head! And he said to the servant, Carry him to his mother. 2 Ki. 4:19
And she went up, and laid him on the bed of the man of God, and shut the door upon him, and went out. 2 Ki. 4:21
And she called to her husband, and said, Send me, I pray thee, one of the young men, and one of the asses, and I will run to the man of God, and come again. 2 Ki. 4:22
Then she saddled the ass, and said to her servant, Drive and go forward; slack not the riding for me, except I bid thee. 2 Ki. 4:24
And she went and came to the man of God, to mount Carmel. And it came to pass when the man of God saw her afar off, that he said to Gehazi his servant, Behold, there is the Shunammite: 2 Ki. 4:25
run now, I pray thee, to meet her, and say unto her, Is it well with thee? is it well with thy husband? is it well with the child? And she said, It is well. 2 Ki. 4:26
And she came to the man of God to the mountain, and caught him by the feet; and Gehazi drew near to thrust her away; but the man of God said, Let her alone, for her soul is troubled within her, and Jehovah has hidden it from me, and has not told me. 2 Ki. 4:27
And he said to Gehazi, Gird up thy loins, and take my staff in thy hand, and go thy way. If thou meet any man, salute him not, and if any salute thee, answer him not again; and lay my staff upon the face of the lad. 2 Ki. 4:29
And the mother of the lad said, As Jehovah liveth, and as thy soul liveth, I will not leave thee! And he rose up and followed her. 2 Ki. 4:30
And Gehazi passed on before them, and laid the staff upon the face of the lad; but there was neither voice, nor sign of attention. And he returned to meet him, and told him saying, The lad is not awaked. 2 Ki. 4:31
And when Elisha came into the house, behold, the child was dead, and laid upon his bed. 2 Ki. 4:32
And he went in and shut the door upon them both, and prayed to Jehovah. 2 Ki. 4:33
And he went up, and lay upon the child, and put his mouth upon his mouth, and his eyes upon his eyes, and his hands upon his hands, and bent over him; and the flesh of the child grew warm. 2 Ki. 4:34
And he returned, and walked in the house to and fro; and went up, and bent over him. And the lad sneezed seven times, and the lad opened his eyes. 2 Ki. 4:35
And she came and fell at his feet, and bowed herself to the ground; and she took up her son, and went out. 2 Ki. 4:37
And Elisha came again to Gilgal. And there was a famine in the land; and the sons of the prophets were sitting before him. And he said to his servant, Set on the great pot, and boil pottage for the sons of the prophets. 2 Ki. 4:38
Then one went out into the field to gather herbs, and found a wild vine, and gathered from it his lap full of wild colocynths, and came and shred them into the pot of pottage; for they did not know them. 2 Ki. 4:39
And they poured out for the men to eat. And it came to pass, as they were eating of the pottage, that they cried out and said, Man of God, there is death in the pot! And they could not eat it. 2 Ki. 4:40
And he said, Then bring meal. And he cast it into the pot, and said, Pour out for the people, that they may eat. And there was no harm in the pot. 2 Ki. 4:41
And there came a man from Baal-shalishah, and brought the man of God bread of the first-fruits, twenty loaves of barley, and fresh ears of corn in his sack. And he said, Give to the people that they may eat. 2 Ki. 4:42
And his attendant said, How shall I set this before a hundred men? And he said, Give the people that they may eat; for thus saith Jehovah: They shall eat, and shall have to spare. 2 Ki. 4:43
And he set it before them, and they ate and left thereof, according to the word of Jehovah. 2 Ki. 4:44
And Naaman, captain of the host of the king of Syria, was a great man before his master, and honourable, for by him Jehovah had given deliverance to Syria; and he was a mighty man of valour, but a leper. 2 Ki. 5:1
And the Syrians had gone out in bands, and had brought away captive out of the land of Israel a little maid; and she waited on Naaman's wife. 2 Ki. 5:2
And she said to her mistress, Oh, would that my lord were before the prophet that is in Samaria! then he would cure him of his leprosy. 2 Ki. 5:3
And he went and told his lord saying, Thus and thus said the maid that is of the land of Israel. 2 Ki. 5:4
And the king of Syria said, Well! go, and I will send a letter to the king of Israel. And he departed, and took with him ten talents of silver, and six thousand shekels of gold, and ten changes of raiment. 2 Ki. 5:5
And he brought the letter to the king of Israel, saying, And now, when this letter comes to thee, behold, I have sent Naaman my servant to thee, that thou mayest cure him of his leprosy. 2 Ki. 5:6
And it came to pass when the king of Israel had read the letter, that he rent his garments, and said, Am I God, to kill and to make alive, that this man sends to me to cure a man of his leprosy? Wherefore consider, I pray you, and see how he seeks an occasion against me. 2 Ki. 5:7
And it was so, when Elisha the man of God had heard that the king of Israel had rent his garments, that he sent to the king, saying, Why hast thou rent thy garments? let him come now to me, and he shall know that there is a prophet in Israel. 2 Ki. 5:8
And Naaman came with his horses and with his chariot, and stood at the doorway of the house of Elisha. 2 Ki. 5:9
And Elisha sent a messenger to him, saying, Go and wash in the Jordan seven times, and thy flesh shall come again to thee, and thou shalt be clean. 2 Ki. 5:10
And Naaman was wroth, and went away and said, Behold, I thought, He will certainly come out to me, and stand, and call on the name of Jehovah his God, and wave his hand over the place, and cure the leper. 2 Ki. 5:11
Are not the Abanah and the Pharpar, rivers of Damascus, better than all the waters of Israel? may I not wash in them and be clean? And he turned and went away in a rage. 2 Ki. 5:12
And his servants drew near, and spoke to him and said, My father, if the prophet had bidden thee do some great thing, wouldest thou not have done it? how much rather then, when he says to thee, Wash and be clean? 2 Ki. 5:13
Then he went down, and plunged himself seven times in the Jordan, according to the saying of the man of God. And his flesh became again like the flesh of a little child, and he was clean. 2 Ki. 5:14
And he returned to the man of God, he and all his company, and came and stood before him; and he said, Behold, I know that there is no God in all the earth but in Israel; and now, I pray thee, take a present of thy servant. 2 Ki. 5:15
In this thing Jehovah pardon thy servant: when my master goes into the house of Rimmon to bow down there, and he leans on my hand, and I bow down myself in the house of Rimmon -- when I bow down myself in the house of Rimmon, Jehovah pardon thy servant, I pray thee, in this thing. 2 Ki. 5:18
And Gehazi, the servant of Elisha the man of God, said, Behold, my master has spared Naaman, this Syrian, in not receiving at his hands that which he brought; but as Jehovah liveth, I will run after him and take somewhat of him. 2 Ki. 5:20
And Gehazi followed after Naaman. And when Naaman saw him running after him, he sprang down from the chariot to meet him, and said, Is all well? 2 Ki. 5:21
And he said, All is well. My master has sent me saying, Behold, even now there are come to me from mount Ephraim two young men of the sons of the prophets; give them, I pray thee, a talent of silver, and two changes of raiment. 2 Ki. 5:22
And when he came to the hill, he took them from their hand, and stowed them in the house; and he let the men go, and they departed. 2 Ki. 5:24
And he said to him, Did not my heart go, when the man turned again from his chariot to meet thee? Is it a time to receive money, and to receive garments, and oliveyards, and vineyards, and sheep, and oxen, and bondmen, and bondwomen? 2 Ki. 5:26
But the leprosy of Naaman shall fasten upon thee, and upon thy seed for ever. And he went out from his presence leprous, as snow. 2 Ki. 5:27
And the sons of the prophets said to Elisha, Behold now, the place where we dwell before thee is too strait for us. 2 Ki. 6:1
Let us go, we pray thee, to the Jordan, and take thence every man a beam, and let us make us a place there, where we may dwell. And he said, Go. 2 Ki. 6:2
And he went with them. And they came to the Jordan and cut down the trees. 2 Ki. 6:4
And it came to pass as one was felling a beam, that the iron fell into the water; and he cried and said, Alas, master, and it was borrowed! 2 Ki. 6:5
And the man of God said, Where did it fall? And he shewed him the place. And he cut down a stick, and cast it in thither, and made the iron to swim. 2 Ki. 6:6
And the king of Syria warred against Israel; and he took counsel with his servants, saying, In such and such a place shall be my camp. 2 Ki. 6:8
And the man of God sent to the king of Israel, saying, Beware that thou pass not such a place, for thither the Syrians are come down. 2 Ki. 6:9
And the king of Israel sent to the place which the man of God told him and warned him of, and he was on his guard there. That took place not once, nor twice. 2 Ki. 6:10
And the heart of the king of Syria was troubled because of this thing; and he called his servants, and said to them, Will ye not shew me which of us is for the king of Israel? 2 Ki. 6:11
And one of his servants said, None, my lord, O king; but Elisha, the prophet that is in Israel, tells the king of Israel the words that thou speakest in thy bedchamber. 2 Ki. 6:12
And he sent thither horses and chariots, and a great host, and they came by night and surrounded the city. 2 Ki. 6:14
And when the attendant of the man of God rose early and went forth, behold, an army surrounded the city, with horses and chariots. And his servant said to him, Alas, my master! how shall we do? 2 Ki. 6:15
And Elisha prayed and said, Jehovah, I pray thee, open his eyes that he may see. And Jehovah opened the eyes of the young man, and he saw; and, behold, the mountain was full of horses and chariots of fire round about Elisha. 2 Ki. 6:17
And they came down to him; and Elisha prayed to Jehovah and said, Smite this nation, I pray thee, with blindness. And he smote them with blindness according to the word of Elisha. 2 Ki. 6:18
And Elisha said to them, This is not the way, neither is this the city: follow me, and I will bring you to the man whom ye seek. And he led them to Samaria. 2 Ki. 6:19
And it came to pass when they entered into Samaria, that Elisha said, Jehovah, open the eyes of these men that they may see. And Jehovah opened their eyes, and they saw, and behold, they were in the midst of Samaria. 2 Ki. 6:20
And the king of Israel said to Elisha, when he saw them, My father, shall I smite? shall I smite them? 2 Ki. 6:21
And he prepared a great repast for them, and they ate and drank; and he sent them away, and they went to their master. And the bands of Syria came no more into the land of Israel. 2 Ki. 6:23
And there was a great famine in Samaria; and behold, they besieged it, until an ass's head was worth eighty silver-pieces, and the fourth part of a cab of dove's dung five silver-pieces. 2 Ki. 6:25
And it came to pass as the king of Israel was passing by upon the wall, there cried a woman to him saying, Help, my lord O king! 2 Ki. 6:26
And he said, If Jehovah do not help thee, whence should I help thee? Out of the threshing-floor, or out of the winepress? 2 Ki. 6:27
And the king said to her, What aileth thee? And she said, This woman said to me, Give thy son, that we may eat him to-day, and we will eat my son to-morrow. 2 Ki. 6:28
And we boiled my son, and ate him: and I said to her on the next day, Give thy son, that we may eat him; and she has hidden her son. 2 Ki. 6:29
And it came to pass when the king heard the words of the woman, that he rent his garments; and he was passing by upon the wall, and the people looked, and behold, he had sackcloth within upon his flesh. 2 Ki. 6:30
And he said, God do so, and more also to me, if the head of Elisha the son of Shaphat shall remain on him this day! 2 Ki. 6:31
And Elisha sat in his house, and the elders sat with him. And the king sent a man before him. Before the messenger came to him, he himself said to the elders, Do ye see how this son of a murderer has sent to take away my head? See, when the messenger comes; shut the door, and keep him off with the door: is not the sound of his master's feet behind him? 2 Ki. 6:32
And while he yet talked with them, behold, the messenger came down to him. And the king said, Behold, this evil is of Jehovah: why should I wait for Jehovah any longer? 2 Ki. 6:33
And Elisha said, Hear the word of Jehovah. Thus saith Jehovah: To-morrow about this time shall the measure of fine flour be at a shekel, and two measures of barley at a shekel, in the gate of Samaria. 2 Ki. 7:1
And the captain on whose hand the king leaned answered the man of God and said, Behold, if Jehovah should make windows in the heavens, would this thing be? And he said, Behold, thou shalt see it with thine eyes, but shalt not eat thereof. 2 Ki. 7:2
And there were four leprous men at the entrance of the gate, and they said one to another, Why do we abide here until we die? 2 Ki. 7:3
If we say, Let us enter into the city, the famine is in the city, and we shall die there; and if we abide here, we shall die. And now come, let us fall away to the camp of the Syrians: if they save us alive, we shall live; and if they put us to death, we shall but die. 2 Ki. 7:4
And they rose up in the dusk to go to the camp of the Syrians; and they came to the extremity of the camp of the Syrians; and behold, there was no man there. 2 Ki. 7:5
For the Lord had made the army of the Syrians to hear a noise of chariots, and a noise of horses, a noise of a great host; and they said one to another, Behold, the king of Israel has hired against us the kings of the Hittites, and the kings of the Egyptians, to come upon us. 2 Ki. 7:6
And they rose up and fled in the dusk, and left their tents, and their horses, and their asses, the camp as it was, and fled for their life. 2 Ki. 7:7
And those lepers came to the extremity of the camp; and they went into one tent, and ate and drank, and carried thence silver and gold, and garments, and went and hid it; and they came again, and entered into another tent, and carried thence, and went and hid it. 2 Ki. 7:8
And they said one to another, We are not doing right; this day is a day of good tidings, and we hold our peace: if we tarry till the morning light, the iniquity will find us out; and now come, let us go and tell the king's household. 2 Ki. 7:9
And they came and called to the porters of the city, and told them saying, We came to the camp of the Syrians, and behold, there was no one there, no sound of man, but the horses tied, and the asses tied, and the tents as they were. 2 Ki. 7:10
And the porters cried it and told it to the king's house within. 2 Ki. 7:11
And the king rose up in the night and said to his servants, Let me tell you what the Syrians have done to us. They know that we are hungry, and they have gone out of the camp to hide themselves in the field, saying, When they come out of the city, we shall catch them alive, and get into the city. 2 Ki. 7:12
And one of his servants answered and said, Let some one take, I pray thee, five of the horses that remain, which are left in the city (behold, they are as all the multitude of Israel that are left in it: behold, they are even as all the multitude of the Israelites that have perished), and let us send and see. 2 Ki. 7:13
And they took two chariots with their horses; and the king sent after the army of the Syrians, saying, Go and see. 2 Ki. 7:14
And they went after them to the Jordan; and behold, all the way was full of garments and materials, which the Syrians had cast away in their haste. And the messengers returned and told the king. 2 Ki. 7:15
And the people went out and plundered the camp of the Syrians; and the measure of fine flour was at a shekel, and two measures of barley at a shekel, according to the word of Jehovah. 2 Ki. 7:16
And the king had appointed the captain on whose hand he leaned to have the charge of the gate; and the people trampled upon him in the gate, and he died, according to what the man of God had said, -- what he had said when the king came down to him. 2 Ki. 7:17
And it came to pass as the man of God had spoken to the king saying, Two measures of barley shall be at a shekel, and the measure of fine flour at a shekel, to-morrow about this time in the gate of Samaria. 2 Ki. 7:18
And the captain answered the man of God and said, Behold, if Jehovah should make windows in the heavens, would such a thing be? And he said, Behold, thou shalt see it with thine eyes, but shalt not eat thereof. 2 Ki. 7:19
And so it happened to him; and the people trampled upon him in the gate, and he died. 2 Ki. 7:20
And Elisha had spoken to the woman whose son he had restored to life, saying, Rise up and go, thou and thy household, and sojourn wheresoever thou canst sojourn; for Jehovah has called for a famine, and it shall also come upon the land for seven years. 2 Ki. 8:1
And the woman rose up, and did according to the saying of the man of God, and went, she and her household, and sojourned in the land of the Philistines seven years. 2 Ki. 8:2
And it came to pass at the seven years' end, that the woman returned out of the land of the Philistines; and she went forth to cry to the king for her house and for her land. 2 Ki. 8:3
And the king was talking with Gehazi, the servant of the man of God, saying, Tell me, I pray thee, all the great things that Elisha has done. 2 Ki. 8:4
And it came to pass as he was telling the king how he had restored a dead body to life, that behold, the woman whose son he had restored to life cried to the king for her house and for her land. And Gehazi said, My lord, O king, this is the woman, and this is her son, whom Elisha restored to life. 2 Ki. 8:5
And the king asked the woman, and she told him. And the king appointed a certain chamberlain, saying, Restore all that was hers, and all the revenue of the land since the day that she left the country even until now. 2 Ki. 8:6
And Elisha came to Damascus; and Ben-Hadad the king of Syria was sick; and it was told him saying, The man of God is come hither. 2 Ki. 8:7
And the king said to Hazael, Take a present in thy hand, and go, meet the man of God, and inquire of Jehovah by him, saying, Shall I recover from this disease? 2 Ki. 8:8
And he settled his countenance stedfastly, until he was ashamed; and the man of God wept. 2 Ki. 8:11
And Hazael said, Why does my lord weep? And he said, Because I know the evil that thou wilt do to the children of Israel: their strongholds wilt thou set on fire, and their young men wilt thou kill with the sword, and wilt dash in pieces their children, and rip up their women with child. 2 Ki. 8:12
And it came to pass the next day, that he took the coverlet and dipped it in water, and spread it over his face, so that he died; and Hazael reigned in his stead. 2 Ki. 8:15
And in the fifth year of Joram the son of Ahab, king of Israel, Jehoshaphat being then king of Judah, Jehoram the son of Jehoshaphat, king of Judah, began to reign. 2 Ki. 8:16
And he walked in the way of the kings of Israel, as did the house of Ahab, for the daughter of Ahab was his wife; and he did evil in the sight of Jehovah. 2 Ki. 8:18
In his days Edom revolted from under the hand of Judah, and they set a king over themselves. 2 Ki. 8:20
And Joram went over to Zair, and all the chariots with him; and he rose up by night, and smote the Edomites who had surrounded him, and the captains of the chariots; and the people fled into their tents. 2 Ki. 8:21
But the Edomites revolted from under the hand of Judah unto this day. Then Libnah revolted at the same time. 2 Ki. 8:22
And the rest of the acts of Joram and all that he did, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah? 2 Ki. 8:23
And Joram slept with his fathers, and was buried with his fathers in the city of David; and Ahaziah his son reigned in his stead. 2 Ki. 8:24
In the twelfth year of Joram the son of Ahab, king of Israel, Ahaziah the son of Jehoram, king of Judah, began to reign. 2 Ki. 8:25
Ahaziah was twenty-two years old when he began to reign; and he reigned one year in Jerusalem; and his mother's name was Athaliah, the daughter of Omri king of Israel. 2 Ki. 8:26
And he walked in the way of the house of Ahab, and did evil in the sight of Jehovah, like the house of Ahab; for he was the son-in-law of the house of Ahab. 2 Ki. 8:27
And he went with Joram the son of Ahab to the war against Hazael the king of Syria at Ramoth-Gilead; and the Syrians wounded Joram. 2 Ki. 8:28
And king Joram returned to be healed in Jizreel of the wounds that the Syrians had given him at Ramah, when he fought with Hazael king of Syria. And Ahaziah the son of Jehoram, king of Judah, went down to see Joram the son of Ahab at Jizreel, for he was sick. 2 Ki. 8:29
And Elisha the prophet called one of the sons of the prophets, and said to him, Gird up thy loins, and take this vial of oil in thy hand, and go to Ramoth-Gilead. 2 Ki. 9:1
And when thou art come thither, look out there Jehu the son of Jehoshaphat, son of Nimshi, and go in, and make him rise up from among his brethren, and bring him to an inner chamber; 2 Ki. 9:2
then take the vial of oil, and pour it on his head and say, Thus saith Jehovah: I have anointed thee king over Israel; and open the door, and flee, and tarry not. 2 Ki. 9:3
And the young man, the young prophet, went to Ramoth-Gilead. 2 Ki. 9:4
And when he came, behold, the captains of the host were sitting. And he said, I have an errand to thee, captain. And Jehu said, To which of all of us? And he said, To thee, captain. 2 Ki. 9:5
And he rose up and went into the house; and he poured the oil on his head, and said to him, Thus saith Jehovah the God of Israel: I have anointed thee king over the people of Jehovah, over Israel. 2 Ki. 9:6
And thou shalt smite the house of Ahab thy master; and I will avenge the blood of my servants the prophets, and the blood of all the servants of Jehovah at the hand of Jezebel. 2 Ki. 9:7
And the whole house of Ahab shall perish, and I will cut off from Ahab every male, and him that is shut up and left in Israel. 2 Ki. 9:8
And I will make the house of Ahab as the house of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, and as the house of Baasha the son of Ahijah. 2 Ki. 9:9
And the dogs shall eat Jezebel in the plot of Jizreel, and none shall bury her. And he opened the door and fled. 2 Ki. 9:10
And Jehu came forth to the servants of his lord. And one said to him, Is all well? why came this madman to thee? And he said to them, Ye know the man, and his mind. 2 Ki. 9:11
Then they hasted and took every man his garment, and put it under him on the very stairs, and blew with trumpets, and said, Jehu is king! 2 Ki. 9:13
And Jehu the son of Jehoshaphat, son of Nimshi, conspired against Joram. (Now Joram kept Ramoth-Gilead, he and all Israel, because of Hazael king of Syria; 2 Ki. 9:14
and king Joram had returned to be healed in Jizreel of the wounds that the Syrians had given him, when he fought against Hazael king of Syria.) And Jehu said, If it be your will, let not a fugitive escape out of the city to go to tell it in Jizreel. 2 Ki. 9:15
And the watchman stood on the tower in Jizreel, and saw Jehu's company as he came, and said, I see a company. And Joram said, Take a horseman, and send to meet them, and let him say, Is it peace? 2 Ki. 9:17
So there went one on horseback to meet him; and he said, Thus saith the king: Is it peace? And Jehu said, What hast thou to do with peace? turn thee behind me. And the watchman told saying, The messenger came to them, and he does not return. 2 Ki. 9:18
And he sent out a second on horseback; and he came to them and said, Thus saith the king: Is it peace? And Jehu said, What hast thou to do with peace? turn thee behind me. 2 Ki. 9:19
And the watchman told saying, He came to them, and does not return. And the driving is like the driving of Jehu the son of Nimshi; for he drives furiously. 2 Ki. 9:20
Then Joram said, Make ready! And they made ready his chariot. And Joram king of Israel and Ahaziah king of Judah went out, each in his chariot; and they went out to meet Jehu, and met him in the plot of Naboth the Jizreelite. 2 Ki. 9:21
And it came to pass when Joram saw Jehu, that he said, Is it peace, Jehu? And he said, What peace, so long as the fornications of thy mother Jezebel and her sorceries are so many? 2 Ki. 9:22
And Jehu took his bow in his hand, and smote Jehoram between his arms, and the arrow went out through his heart; and he sank down in his chariot. 2 Ki. 9:24
And he said to Bidkar his captain, Take him up and cast him in the plot of the field of Naboth the Jizreelite. For remember how, when I and thou rode together after Ahab his father, that Jehovah laid this burden upon him: 2 Ki. 9:25
Certainly I have seen yesterday the blood of Naboth, and the blood of his sons, saith Jehovah; and I will requite thee in this plot, saith Jehovah. And now, take and cast him into the plot, according to the word of Jehovah. 2 Ki. 9:26
When Ahaziah king of Judah saw that, he fled by the way of the garden-house. And Jehu followed after him, and said, Smite him also in his chariot. It was on the ascent of Gur, which is by Jibleam. And he fled to Megiddo, and died there. 2 Ki. 9:27
And his servants carried him in a chariot to Jerusalem, and buried him in his sepulchre with his fathers in the city of David. 2 Ki. 9:28
(And in the eleventh year of Joram the son of Ahab had Ahaziah begun to reign over Judah.) 2 Ki. 9:29
And Jehu came to Jizreel; and Jezebel heard of it, and she put paint to her eyes, and decked her head, and looked out at the window. 2 Ki. 9:30
And when Jehu came in at the gate, she said, Is it peace, Zimri, murderer of his master? 2 Ki. 9:31
And he lifted up his face to the window, and said, Who is on my side? who? And two or three chamberlains looked out to him. 2 Ki. 9:32
And he said, Throw her down! And they threw her down; and some of her blood was sprinkled on the wall, and on the horses; and he trampled on her. 2 Ki. 9:33
And they went to bury her; but they found no more of her than the skull, and the feet, and the palms of the hands. 2 Ki. 9:35
And they came back and told him. And he said, This is the word of Jehovah, which he spoke through his servant Elijah the Tishbite saying, In the plot of Jizreel shall dogs eat the flesh of Jezebel; 2 Ki. 9:36
and the carcase of Jezebel shall be as dung upon the open field in the plot of Jizreel, so that they shall not say, This is Jezebel. 2 Ki. 9:37
Now Ahab had seventy sons in Samaria. And Jehu wrote letters, and sent to Samaria, to the princes of Jizreel, to the elders, and to Ahab's guardians, saying, 2 Ki. 10:1
look out the best and worthiest of your master's sons, and set him on his father's throne, and fight for your master's house. 2 Ki. 10:3
And they were exceedingly afraid, and said, Behold, the two kings stood not before him; and how shall we stand? 2 Ki. 10:4
And he that was over the house, and he that was over the city, and the elders, and the guardians sent to Jehu, saying, We are thy servants, and will do all that thou shalt bid us; we will not make any one king; do what is good in thy sight. 2 Ki. 10:5
And he wrote a letter the second time to them saying, If ye are mine, and will hearken to my voice, take the heads of the men your master's sons, and come to me to Jizreel to-morrow at this time. Now the king's sons, seventy persons, were with the great men of the city, who brought them up. 2 Ki. 10:6
And it came to pass when the letter came to them, that they took the king's sons, and slaughtered seventy persons, and put their heads in baskets, and sent them to him to Jizreel. 2 Ki. 10:7
And a messenger came and told him saying, They have brought the heads of the king's sons. And he said, Lay them in two heaps at the entrance of the gate until the morning. 2 Ki. 10:8
And it came to pass in the morning that he went out; and he stood, and said to all the people, Ye are righteous! behold, I conspired against my master and killed him; but who smote all these? 2 Ki. 10:9
Know now that nothing shall fall to the earth of the word of Jehovah, which Jehovah spoke concerning the house of Ahab; for Jehovah has done that which he said through his servant Elijah. 2 Ki. 10:10
And Jehu slew all that remained of the house of Ahab in Jizreel, and all his great men, and his acquaintances, and his priests, until he left him none remaining. 2 Ki. 10:11
And he rose up and departed, and came to Samaria. And as he was at the shepherds' meeting-place on the way, 2 Ki. 10:12
Jehu found the brethren of Ahaziah king of Judah, and said, Who are ye? And they said, We are the brethren of Ahaziah; and have come down to salute the children of the king, and the children of the queen. 2 Ki. 10:13
And he said, Take them alive! And they took them alive, and slew them at the well of the meeting-place, forty-two men; and he left not one of them remaining. 2 Ki. 10:14
And he departed thence, and found Jehonadab the son of Rechab coming to meet him; and he greeted him, and said to him, Is thy heart right, as my heart is with thy heart? And Jehonadab said, It is. -- If it be, give me thy hand. -- And he gave him his hand; and Jehu took him up to him into the chariot, 2 Ki. 10:15
And he came to Samaria, and smote all that remained to Ahab in Samaria, until he had destroyed him, according to the word of Jehovah which he spoke to Elijah. 2 Ki. 10:17
And Jehu gathered all the people together, and said to them, Ahab served Baal a little: Jehu will serve him much. 2 Ki. 10:18
And now call me all the prophets of Baal, all his servants, and all his priests: let none be wanting; for I have a great sacrifice to do to Baal; whoever shall be wanting shall not live. But Jehu did it in subtilty, in order that he might bring destruction upon the servants of Baal. 2 Ki. 10:19
And Jehu sent into all Israel; and all the servants of Baal came, so that there was not a man left that came not: and they entered into the house of Baal; and the house of Baal was full from one end to the other. 2 Ki. 10:21
And he said to him that was over the wardrobe, Bring forth vestments for all the servants of Baal. And he brought them forth vestments. 2 Ki. 10:22
And Jehu and Jehonadab the son of Rechab entered into the house of Baal, and said to the servants of Baal, Search, and see that there be here with you none of the servants of Jehovah, but the servants of Baal only. 2 Ki. 10:23
And they entered in to offer sacrifices and burnt-offerings. Now Jehu appointed eighty men without, and said, He that allows any of the men to escape that I have brought into your hands, his life shall be for the life of him. 2 Ki. 10:24
And it came to pass as soon as they had ended offering up the burnt-offering, that Jehu said to the couriers and to the captains, Go in, slay them; let none come forth. And they smote them with the edge of the sword; and the couriers and the captains cast them there. And they went to the city of the house of Baal, 2 Ki. 10:25
and brought forth the columns out of the house of Baal, and burned them; 2 Ki. 10:26
and they broke down the column of Baal, and broke down the house of Baal, and made it a draught-house to this day. 2 Ki. 10:27
Only, the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, who made Israel to sin, from them Jehu departed not: from the golden calves that were in Bethel, and that were in Dan. 2 Ki. 10:29
And Jehovah said to Jehu, Because thou hast executed well that which is right in my sight, and hast done unto the house of Ahab according to all that was in my heart, thy children of the fourth generation shall sit on the throne of Israel. 2 Ki. 10:30
But Jehu took no heed to walk in the law of Jehovah the God of Israel with all his heart; he departed not from the sins of Jeroboam, who made Israel to sin. 2 Ki. 10:31
In those days Jehovah began to cut Israel short; and Hazael smote them in all the borders of Israel; 2 Ki. 10:32
from the Jordan eastward, all the land of Gilead, the Gadites, and the Reubenites, and the Manassites, from Aroer, which is by the river Arnon, both Gilead and Bashan. 2 Ki. 10:33
And the rest of the acts of Jehu, and all that he did, and all his might, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel? 2 Ki. 10:34
Now the time that Jehu reigned over Israel in Samaria was twenty-eight years. 2 Ki. 10:36
And when Athaliah the mother of Ahaziah saw that her son was dead, she rose up and destroyed all the royal seed. 2 Ki. 11:1
But Jehosheba, the daughter of king Joram, the sister of Ahaziah, took Joash the son of Ahaziah and stole him from among the king's sons that were slain, and hid him and his nurse in the bedchamber; and they hid him from Athaliah, so that he was not slain. 2 Ki. 11:2
And he was with her hid in the house of Jehovah six years. And Athaliah reigned over the land. 2 Ki. 11:3
And in the seventh year Jehoiada sent and fetched the captains of the hundreds, of the bodyguard and the couriers, and brought them to him into the house of Jehovah, and made a covenant with them, and took an oath of them in the house of Jehovah, and shewed them the king's son. 2 Ki. 11:4
And he commanded them saying, This is the thing which ye shall do: a third part of you, that come in on the sabbath, shall be keepers of the watch of the king's house; 2 Ki. 11:5
and a third part shall be at the gate of Sur; and a third part at the gate behind the couriers; and ye shall keep the watch of the house for a defence. 2 Ki. 11:6
And the two parts of you, all those that go forth on the sabbath, even they shall keep the watch of the house of Jehovah about the king. 2 Ki. 11:7
And ye shall encompass the king round about, every man with his weapons in his hand; and he that comes within the ranks shall be put to death; and ye shall be with the king when he goes out and when he comes in. 2 Ki. 11:8
And the captains of the hundreds did according to all that Jehoiada the priest commanded; and they took every man his men, those that were to come in on the sabbath, with them that were to go forth on the sabbath, and they came to Jehoiada the priest. 2 Ki. 11:9
And the priest gave to the captains of the hundreds king David's spears and shields which were in the house of Jehovah. 2 Ki. 11:10
And the couriers stood by the king round about, every man with his weapons in his hand, from the right side of the house to the left side of the house, toward the altar and the house. 2 Ki. 11:11
And he brought forth the king's son, and put the crown upon him, and gave him the testimony; and they made him king, and anointed him; and they clapped their hands, and said, Long live the king! 2 Ki. 11:12
And Athaliah heard the noise of the couriers and of the people; and she came to the people into the house of Jehovah. 2 Ki. 11:13

And Jehoiada the priest commanded the captains of the hundreds that were set over the host, and said to them, Lead her forth without the ranks; and whosoever follows her, slay with the sword; for the priest said, Let her not be put to death in the house of Jehovah. 2 Ki. 11:15
And they made way for her, and she went by the way by which the horses entered the king's house, and there was she put to death. 2 Ki. 11:16
And Jehoiada made a covenant between Jehovah and the king and the people, that they should be the people of Jehovah; and between the king and the people. 2 Ki. 11:17
Then all the people of the land went into the house of Baal, and broke it down: his altars and his images they broke in pieces completely, and slew Mattan the priest of Baal before the altars. And the priest appointed officers over the house of Jehovah. 2 Ki. 11:18
And he took the captains of the hundreds, and the bodyguard, and the couriers, and all the people of the land; and they brought down the king from the house of Jehovah, and came by the way through the gate of the couriers into the king's house. And he sat upon the throne of the kings. 2 Ki. 11:19
And all the people of the land rejoiced, and the city was quiet; and they had slain Athaliah with the sword beside the king's house. 2 Ki. 11:20
In the seventh year of Jehu, Jehoash began to reign; and he reigned forty years in Jerusalem; and his mother's name was Zibiah of Beer-sheba. 2 Ki. 12:1
And Jehoash did what was right in the sight of Jehovah, all the days wherein Jehoiada the priest instructed him. 2 Ki. 12:2
Only, the high places were not removed: the people still sacrificed and burned incense on the high places. 2 Ki. 12:3
And Jehoash said to the priests, All the money of the hallowed things that is brought into the house of Jehovah, the money of every one that passes the account, the money at which every man is valued, and all the money that comes into any man's heart to bring into the house of Jehovah, 2 Ki. 12:4
let the priests take it, every man of his acquaintance; and let them repair the breaches of the house, wherever any breach is found. 2 Ki. 12:5
And it was so that in the twenty-third year of king Jehoash, the priests had not repaired the breaches of the house. 2 Ki. 12:6
Then king Jehoash called for Jehoiada the priest, and the priests, and said to them, Why have ye not repaired the breaches of the house? And now receive no money of your acquaintances, but give it for the breaches of the house. 2 Ki. 12:7
And the priests consented to receive no money of the people, and that they should only repair the breaches of the house. 2 Ki. 12:8
And Jehoiada the priest took a chest, and bored a hole in the lid, and set it beside the altar, on the right side as one comes into the house of Jehovah; and the priests that kept the door put into it all the money brought into the house of Jehovah. 2 Ki. 12:9
And it came to pass when they saw that there was much money in the chest, that the king's scribe and the high priest came up, and they tied up and counted the money that was found in the house of Jehovah. 2 Ki. 12:10
And they gave the money, weighed out into the hands of them that did the work, who were appointed over the house of Jehovah; and they laid it out to the carpenters and builders that wrought upon the house of Jehovah, 2 Ki. 12:11
and to masons, and hewers of stone, and to buy timber and hewn stone to repair the breaches of the house of Jehovah, and for all that had to be laid out on the house for repairs. 2 Ki. 12:12
However there were not made for the house of Jehovah basons of silver, knives, bowls, trumpets, nor any utensil of gold or utensil of silver, of the money that was brought into the house of Jehovah; 2 Ki. 12:13
but they gave that to the workmen, and repaired the house of Jehovah with it. 2 Ki. 12:14
And they did not reckon with the men into whose hand they gave the money to be bestowed on workmen; for they dealt faithfully. 2 Ki. 12:15
The money of trespass-offerings, and the money of sin-offerings, was not brought into the house of Jehovah: it was for the priests. 2 Ki. 12:16
And Jehoash king of Judah took all the hallowed things that Jehoshaphat and Jehoram and Ahaziah, his fathers, kings of Judah, had dedicated, and his own hallowed things, and all the gold found in the treasures of the house of Jehovah and in the king's house, and sent it to Hazael king of Syria; and he went away from Jerusalem. 2 Ki. 12:18

And Jozachar the son of Shimeath and Jehozabad the son of Shomer, his servants, smote him and he died; and they buried him with his fathers in the city of David. And Amaziah his son reigned in his stead. 2 Ki. 12:21
In the three-and-twentieth year of Joash the son of Ahaziah, king of Judah, Jehoahaz the son of Jehu began to reign over Israel in Samaria, for seventeen years. 2 Ki. 13:1

And the anger of Jehovah was kindled against Israel, and he delivered them into the hand of Hazael king of Syria, and into the hand of Ben-Hadad the son of Hazael, all those days. 2 Ki. 13:3
(And Jehoahaz besought Jehovah, and Jehovah hearkened to him; for he saw the oppression of Israel, because the king of Syria oppressed them. 2 Ki. 13:4
And Jehovah gave Israel a saviour, so that they went out from under the hand of the Syrians; and the children of Israel dwelt in their tents as before. 2 Ki. 13:5
Nevertheless they departed not from the sins of the house of Jeroboam, who made Israel to sin: they walked therein; and there remained also the Asherah in Samaria.) 2 Ki. 13:6
For he had left of the people to Jehoahaz but fifty horsemen, and ten chariots, and ten thousand footmen; for the king of Syria had destroyed them, and had made them like the dust by threshing. 2 Ki. 13:7
And the rest of the acts of Jehoahaz, and all that he did, and his might, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel? 2 Ki. 13:8
In the thirty-seventh year of Joash king of Judah began Jehoash the son of Jehoahaz to reign over Israel in Samaria, for sixteen years. 2 Ki. 13:10

and said, Open the window eastward. And he opened it. And Elisha said, Shoot. And he shot. And he said, An arrow of Jehovah's deliverance, even an arrow of deliverance from the Syrians; and thou shalt smite the Syrians in Aphek, till thou hast consumed them. 2 Ki. 13:17
And he said, Take the arrows. And he took them. And he said to the king of Israel, Smite upon the ground. And he smote thrice, and stayed. 2 Ki. 13:18

And Elisha died, and they buried him. And the bands of the Moabites invaded the land at the coming in of the year. 2 Ki. 13:20

And Jehoash the son of Jehoahaz took again out of the hand of Ben-Hadad the son of Hazael the cities which he had taken out of the hand of Jehoahaz his father in the war. Three times did Joash beat him, and recovered the cities of Israel. 2 Ki. 13:25
In the second year of Joash son of Jehoahaz, king of Israel, began Amaziah the son of Joash, king of Judah, to reign. 2 Ki. 14:1
And he did what was right in the sight of Jehovah, yet not like David his father: he did according to all that Joash his father had done. 2 Ki. 14:3
Only, the high places were not removed: the people still sacrificed and burned incense on the high places. 2 Ki. 14:4
And it came to pass when the kingdom was established in his hand, that he slew his servants who had smitten the king his father. 2 Ki. 14:5
But the children of those that smote him he did not put to death; according to that which is written in the book of the law of Moses, wherein Jehovah commanded saying, The fathers shall not be put to death for the children, neither shall the children be put to death for the fathers; but every man shall be put to death for his own sin. 2 Ki. 14:6

And Jehoash king of Israel took Amaziah king of Judah, the son of Jehoash son of Ahaziah, at Beth-shemesh, and came to Jerusalem, and broke down the wall of Jerusalem from the gate of Ephraim to the corner-gate, four hundred cubits. 2 Ki. 14:13
And he took all the gold and the silver, and all the vessels that were found in the house of Jehovah, and in the treasures of the king's house, and hostages, and returned to Samaria. 2 Ki. 14:14

He restored the border of Israel from the entrance of Hamath as far as the sea of the plain, according to the word of Jehovah the God of Israel, which he had spoken through his servant Jonah the prophet, the son of Amittai, who was of Gath-Hepher. 2 Ki. 14:25
For Jehovah saw that the affliction of Israel was very bitter; and that there was not any shut up, nor any left, nor any helper for Israel. 2 Ki. 14:26
And Jehovah had not said that he would blot out the name of Israel from under the heavens; and he saved them by the hand of Jeroboam the son of Joash. 2 Ki. 14:27
And the rest of the acts of Jeroboam, and all that he did, and his might, how he warred, and how he recovered for Israel that which had belonged to Judah in Damascus and in Hamath, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel? 2 Ki. 14:28

Only, the high places were not removed: the people still sacrificed and burned incense on the high places. 2 Ki. 15:4

And he did what was right in the sight of Jehovah: he did according to all that his father Uzziah had done. 2 Ki. 15:34
Only, the high places were not removed: the people still sacrificed and burned incense on the high places. It was he who built the upper gate of the house of Jehovah. 2 Ki. 15:35
And the rest of the acts of Jotham, and all that he did, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah? 2 Ki. 15:36
In those days Jehovah began to send against Judah Rezin the king of Syria, and Pekah the son of Remaliah. 2 Ki. 15:37
And Jotham slept with his fathers, and was buried with his fathers in the city of David his father; and Ahaz his son reigned in his stead. 2 Ki. 15:38
In the seventeenth year of Pekah the son of Remaliah, Ahaz the son of Jotham, king of Judah, began to reign. 2 Ki. 16:1
Ahaz was twenty years old when he began to reign; and he reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem. And he did not what was right in the sight of Jehovah his God, like David his father, 2 Ki. 16:2
but walked in the way of the kings of Israel, and even caused his son to pass through the fire, according to the abominations of the nations that Jehovah had dispossessed from before the children of Israel. 2 Ki. 16:3
And he sacrificed and burned incense on the high places, and on the hills, and under every green tree. 2 Ki. 16:4
Then Rezin the king of Syria, and Pekah son of Remaliah, the king of Israel, came up to Jerusalem to battle; and they besieged Ahaz, but were unable to conquer him. 2 Ki. 16:5
At that time Rezin king of Syria recovered Elath to Syria, and drove the Jews from Elath; and the Syrians came to Elath, and dwelt there to this day. 2 Ki. 16:6
And Ahaz sent messengers to Tiglath-Pileser king of Assyria, saying, I am thy servant and thy son: come up, and save me out of the hand of the king of Syria, and out of the hand of the king of Israel, who have risen up against me. 2 Ki. 16:7
And Ahaz took the silver and the gold that was found in the house of Jehovah, and in the treasures of the king's house, and sent it as a present to the king of Assyria. 2 Ki. 16:8
And the king of Assyria hearkened to him; and the king of Assyria went up against Damascus, and took it, and carried it captive to Kir, and put Rezin to death. 2 Ki. 16:9
And king Ahaz went to Damascus to meet Tiglath-Pileser king of Assyria; and he saw the altar that was at Damascus, and king Ahaz sent to Urijah the priest the form of the altar, and the pattern of it, according to all its workmanship. 2 Ki. 16:10
And Urijah the priest built an altar according to all that king Ahaz had sent from Damascus; thus Urijah the priest made it, against king Ahaz came from Damascus. 2 Ki. 16:11
And when the king came from Damascus, the king saw the altar; and the king approached to the altar, and offered upon it. 2 Ki. 16:12
And he burned his burnt-offering and his oblation, and poured out his drink-offering, and sprinkled the blood of his peace-offering upon the altar. 2 Ki. 16:13
And the brazen altar which was before Jehovah, he brought forward from the forefront of the house, from between his altar and the house of Jehovah, and put it by the side of his altar on the north. 2 Ki. 16:14
And king Ahaz commanded Urijah the priest saying, Upon the great altar burn the morning burnt-offering, and the evening oblation, and the king's burnt-offering, and his oblation, and the burnt-offering of all the people of the land, and their oblation, and their drink-offerings; and sprinkle upon it all the blood of the burnt-offerings, and all the blood of the sacrifices; and the brazen altar shall be for me to inquire by. 2 Ki. 16:15
And Urijah the priest did according to all that king Ahaz had commanded. 2 Ki. 16:16
And king Ahaz cut off the panels of the bases, and removed the lavers from off them; and took down the sea from off the brazen oxen that were under it, and put it upon a stone pavement. 2 Ki. 16:17
And the covered way of the sabbath that they had built in the house, and the king's entry outside, he turned from the house of Jehovah on account of the king of Assyria. 2 Ki. 16:18
And the rest of the acts of Ahaz, what he did, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah? 2 Ki. 16:19
And Ahaz slept with his fathers, and was buried with his fathers in the city of David; and Hezekiah his son reigned in his stead. 2 Ki. 16:20
In the twelfth year of Ahaz king of Judah, Hoshea the son of Elah began to reign in Samaria over Israel, for nine years. 2 Ki. 17:1
And he did evil in the sight of Jehovah, but not as the kings of Israel that had been before him. 2 Ki. 17:2
But the king of Assyria found conspiracy in Hoshea; for he had sent messengers to So king of Egypt, and sent up no present to the king of Assyria as he had done from year to year. And the king of Assyria shut him up and bound him in prison. 2 Ki. 17:4
And the king of Assyria overran the whole land, and went up against Samaria, and besieged it three years. 2 Ki. 17:5
In the ninth year of Hoshea, the king of Assyria took Samaria, and carried Israel away into Assyria, and placed them in Halah and by the Habor, the river of Gozan, and in the cities of the Medes. 2 Ki. 17:6
And so it was, because the children of Israel had sinned against Jehovah their God, who had brought them up out of the land of Egypt from under the hand of Pharaoh king of Egypt, and had feared other gods; 2 Ki. 17:7
and they walked in the statutes of the nations that Jehovah had dispossessed from before the children of Israel, and of the kings of Israel, which they had made. 2 Ki. 17:8
And the children of Israel did secretly against Jehovah their God things that were not right; and they built them high places in all their cities, from the watchmen's tower to the fortified city. 2 Ki. 17:9
and there they burned incense on all the high places, as did the nations that Jehovah had carried away from before them, and they wrought wicked things to provoke Jehovah to anger; 2 Ki. 17:11
And Jehovah testified against Israel and against Judah, by all the prophets, all the seers, saying, Turn from your evil ways, and keep my commandments, my statutes, according to all the law which I commanded your fathers, and which I sent to you through my servants the prophets. 2 Ki. 17:13
But they would not hear, and hardened their necks, like to the neck of their fathers, who did not believe in Jehovah their God. 2 Ki. 17:14
And they rejected his statutes, and his covenant which he had made with their fathers, and his testimonies which he had testified unto them; and they followed vanity and became vain, and went after the nations that were round about them, concerning whom Jehovah had charged them that they should not do like them. 2 Ki. 17:15
And they forsook all the commandments of Jehovah their God, and made them molten images, two calves, and made an Asherah, and worshipped all the host of the heavens, and served Baal; 2 Ki. 17:16
and they caused their sons and their daughters to pass through the fire, and used divination and enchantments, and sold themselves to do evil in the sight of Jehovah, to provoke him to anger. 2 Ki. 17:17
Therefore Jehovah was very angry with Israel, and removed them out of his sight: there remained but the tribe of Judah only. 2 Ki. 17:18
Also Judah kept not the commandments of Jehovah their God, but walked in the statutes of Israel which they had made. 2 Ki. 17:19
And Jehovah rejected all the seed of Israel; and afflicted them, and delivered them into the hand of spoilers, until he had cast them out of his sight. 2 Ki. 17:20
For Israel had rent the kingdom from the house of David; and they had made Jeroboam the son of Nebat king; and Jeroboam violently turned Israel from following Jehovah, and made them sin a great sin. 2 Ki. 17:21
And the children of Israel walked in all the sins of Jeroboam which he did; they did not depart from them: 2 Ki. 17:22
until Jehovah had removed Israel out of his sight, as he had said through all his servants the prophets; and Israel was carried away out of their own land to Assyria, unto this day. 2 Ki. 17:23
And the king of Assyria brought people from Babylon, and from Cuthah, and from Avva, and from Hamath, and from Sepharvaim, and made them dwell in the cities of Samaria instead of the children of Israel; and they possessed Samaria, and dwelt in its cities. 2 Ki. 17:24
And so it was, at the beginning of their dwelling there, that they feared not Jehovah; and Jehovah sent lions among them, which killed some of them. 2 Ki. 17:25
And they spoke to the king of Assyria saying, The nations that thou hast removed and made to dwell in the cities of Samaria know not the manner of the god of the land; therefore he has sent lions among them, and behold, they slay them, because they know not the manner of the god of the land. 2 Ki. 17:26
And the king of Assyria commanded saying, Carry thither one of the priests whom ye have brought away from thence; and let them go and abide there, and let him teach them the manner of the god of the land. 2 Ki. 17:27
Then one of the priests whom they had carried away from Samaria came and abode in Bethel, and taught them how they should fear Jehovah. 2 Ki. 17:28
And every nation made gods of their own, and put them in the houses of the high places that the Samaritans had made, every nation in their cities in which they dwelt. 2 Ki. 17:29
And the people of Babylon made Succoth-benoth, and the people of Cuth made Nergal, and the people of Hamath made Ashima, 2 Ki. 17:30
and the Avvites made Nibhaz and Tartak, and the Sepharvites burned their children in the fire to Adrammelech and Anammelech the gods of Sepharvaim. 2 Ki. 17:31
So they feared Jehovah, and made to themselves from all classes of them priests of the high places, who offered sacrifices for them in the houses of the high places. 2 Ki. 17:32
They feared Jehovah, and served their own gods after the manner of the nations, whence they had been carried away. 2 Ki. 17:33
To this day they do after their former customs: they fear not Jehovah, neither do they after their statutes or after their ordinances, nor after the law and commandment that Jehovah commanded the sons of Jacob, whom he named Israel. 2 Ki. 17:34
but Jehovah alone, who brought you up out of the land of Egypt with great power and a stretched-out arm, him shall ye fear, and him shall ye worship, and to him shall ye do sacrifice. 2 Ki. 17:36
And the statutes and the ordinances and the law, and the commandment which he wrote for you, ye shall observe to do for evermore; and ye shall not fear other gods. 2 Ki. 17:37
And ye shall not forget the covenant that I have made with you, neither shall ye fear other gods; 2 Ki. 17:38
but ye shall fear Jehovah your God, and he shall deliver you out of the hand of all your enemies. 2 Ki. 17:39
And it came to pass in the third year of Hoshea the son of Elah, king of Israel, that Hezekiah the son of Ahaz, king of Judah, began to reign. 2 Ki. 18:1
And he did what was right in the sight of Jehovah, according to all that David his father had done. 2 Ki. 18:3
He removed the high places, and broke the columns, and cut down the Asherahs, and broke in pieces the serpent of brass that Moses had made; for to those days the children of Israel burned incense to it: and he called it Nehushtan. 2 Ki. 18:4
He trusted in Jehovah the God of Israel; so that after him was none like him among all the kings of Judah, nor among any that were before him. 2 Ki. 18:5
And Jehovah was with him; he prospered whithersoever he went forth. And he rebelled against the king of Assyria, and served him not. 2 Ki. 18:7
He smote the Philistines unto Gazah and its borders, from the watchmen's tower to the fortified city. 2 Ki. 18:8
And it came to pass in the fourth year of king Hezekiah, which was the seventh year of Hoshea the son of Elah, king of Israel, that Shalmaneser king of Assyria came up against Samaria and besieged it. 2 Ki. 18:9
And at the end of three years they took it; in the sixth year of Hezekiah, that is, the ninth year of Hoshea king of Israel, Samaria was taken. 2 Ki. 18:10
And the king of Assyria carried away Israel to Assyria, and settled them in Halah and by the Habor, the river of Gozan, and in the cities of the Medes; 2 Ki. 18:11
because they hearkened not to the voice of Jehovah their God, but transgressed his covenant, all that Moses the servant of Jehovah commanded; and they would not hear nor do it. 2 Ki. 18:12
* And in the fourteenth year of king Hezekiah, Sennacherib king of Assyria came up against all the fortified cities of Judah, and took them. 2 Ki. 18:13
And Hezekiah king of Judah sent to the king of Assyria to Lachish, saying, I have sinned; retire from me: I will bear what thou layest upon me. And the king of Assyria laid upon Hezekiah king of Judah three hundred talents of silver and thirty talents of gold. 2 Ki. 18:14
And Hezekiah gave all the silver that was found in the house of Jehovah, and in the treasures of the king's house. 2 Ki. 18:15
At that time Hezekiah stripped the doors of the temple of Jehovah, and the posts that Hezekiah king of Judah had overlaid, and gave them to the king of Assyria. 2 Ki. 18:16
And the king of Assyria sent Tartan and Rabsaris and Rab-shakeh from Lachish, with a strong force, against king Hezekiah, to Jerusalem. And they went up and came to Jerusalem. And when they were come up, they came and stood by the aqueduct of the upper pool, which is on the highway of the fuller's field. 2 Ki. 18:17
And they called to the king. Then came forth to them Eliakim the son of Hilkijah, who was over the household, and Shebnah the scribe, and Joah the son of Asaph, the chronicler. 2 Ki. 18:18
And Rab-shakeh said to them, Say now to Hezekiah, Thus says the great king, the king of Assyria: What confidence is this wherein thou trustest? 2 Ki. 18:19
Thou sayest -- but it is a word of the lips -- There is counsel and strength for war. Now on whom dost thou rely, that thou hast revolted against me? 2 Ki. 18:20
Now behold, thou reliest upon the staff of that broken reed, upon Egypt, on which if a man lean, it goes into his hand and pierces it: so is Pharaoh king of Egypt to all that rely upon him. 2 Ki. 18:21
And now, engage, I pray thee, with my master the king of Assyria, and I will give thee two thousand horses, if thou canst set the riders upon them. 2 Ki. 18:23
How then wilt thou turn away the face of one captain of the least of my master's servants? And thou reliest upon Egypt for chariots and for horsemen! 2 Ki. 18:24
And Eliakim the son of Hilkijah, and Shebnah and Joah said to Rab-shakeh, Speak, we pray thee, to thy servants in Syriac, for we understand it, and talk not with us in the Jewish language in the ears of the people that are on the wall. 2 Ki. 18:26
And Rab-shakeh said to them, Is it to thy master and to thee that my master sent me to speak these words? Is it not to the men that sit on the wall, that they may eat their own dung and drink their own urine with you? 2 Ki. 18:27
And Rab-shakeh stood and cried with a loud voice in the Jewish language, and spoke and said, Hear the word of the great king, the king of Assyria! 2 Ki. 18:28
Thus says the king: Let not Hezekiah deceive you; for he will not be able to deliver you out of the king's hand. 2 Ki. 18:29
Neither let Hezekiah make you rely upon Jehovah, saying, Jehovah will certainly deliver us, and this city shall not be given into the hand of the king of Assyria. 2 Ki. 18:30
Hearken not to Hezekiah; for thus says the king of Assyria: Make peace with me, and come out to me; and eat every one of his vine and every one of his fig-tree, and drink every one the waters of his own cistern; 2 Ki. 18:31
Have any of the gods of the nations delivered at all his land out of the hand of the king of Assyria? 2 Ki. 18:33
Where are the gods of Hamath and of Arpad? Where are the gods of Sepharvaim, Hena, and Ivvah? and have they delivered Samaria out of my hand? 2 Ki. 18:34
Which are they among all the gods of the countries, who have delivered their country out of my hand, that Jehovah should deliver Jerusalem out of my hand? 2 Ki. 18:35
But the people were silent and answered him not a word; for the king's command was, saying, Answer him not. 2 Ki. 18:36
And Eliakim the son of Hilkijah, who was over the household, and Shebna the scribe, and Joah the son of Asaph, the chronicler, came to Hezekiah with their garments rent, and told him the words of Rab-shakeh. 2 Ki. 18:37
And it came to pass when king Hezekiah heard it, that he rent his garments, and covered himself with sackcloth, and went into the house of Jehovah. 2 Ki. 19:1
And he sent Eliakim, who was over the household, and Shebna the scribe, and the elders of the priests, covered with sackcloth, to the prophet Isaiah the son of Amoz. 2 Ki. 19:2
And they said to him, Thus says Hezekiah: This day is a day of trouble and of rebuke and of reviling; for the children are come to the birth, and there is not strength to bring forth. 2 Ki. 19:3
It may be Jehovah thy God will hear all the words of Rab-shakeh, whom the king of Assyria his master has sent to reproach the living God; and will rebuke the words which Jehovah thy God has heard. Therefore lift up a prayer for the remnant that is left. 2 Ki. 19:4
And the servants of king Hezekiah came to Isaiah. 2 Ki. 19:5
And Isaiah said to them, Thus shall ye say to your master: Thus saith Jehovah: Be not afraid of the words that thou hast heard, wherewith the servants of the king of Assyria have blasphemed me. 2 Ki. 19:6
Behold, I will put a spirit into him, and he shall hear tidings, and shall return to his own land; and I will make him to fall by the sword in his own land. 2 Ki. 19:7
And Rab-shakeh returned, and found the king of Assyria warring against Libnah; for he had heard that he had departed from Lachish. 2 Ki. 19:8
Thus shall ye speak to Hezekiah king of Judah saying: Let not thy God, upon whom thou reliest, deceive thee, saying, Jerusalem shall not be delivered into the hand of the king of Assyria. 2 Ki. 19:10
Behold, thou hast heard what the kings of Assyria have done to all countries, destroying them utterly; and shalt thou be delivered? 2 Ki. 19:11
Have the gods of the nations which my fathers have destroyed delivered them: Gozan, and Haran, and Rezeph, and the children of Eden that were in Thelassar? 2 Ki. 19:12
Where is the king of Hamath, and the king of Arpad, and the king of the city of Sepharvaim, of Hena, and Ivvah? 2 Ki. 19:13
And Hezekiah received the letter from the hand of the messengers, and read it; and Hezekiah went up into the house of Jehovah, and spread it before Jehovah. 2 Ki. 19:14
And Hezekiah prayed before Jehovah and said, Jehovah, God of Israel, who sittest between the cherubim, thou, the Same, thou alone art the God of all the kingdoms of the earth: thou hast made the heavens and the earth. 2 Ki. 19:15
Incline thine ear, Jehovah, and hear; open, Jehovah, thine eyes, and see; and hear the words of Sennacherib, who hath sent him to reproach the living God. 2 Ki. 19:16
Of a truth, Jehovah, the kings of Assyria have laid waste the nations and their lands, 2 Ki. 19:17
and have cast their gods into the fire; for they were no gods, but the work of men's hands, wood and stone; therefore have they destroyed them. 2 Ki. 19:18
And now, Jehovah our God, I beseech thee, save us out of his hand, that all the kingdoms of the earth may know that thou, Jehovah, art God, thou only. 2 Ki. 19:19
And Isaiah the son of Amoz sent to Hezekiah, saying, Thus saith Jehovah the God of Israel: That which thou hast prayed to me concerning Sennacherib king of Assyria I have heard. 2 Ki. 19:20
This is the word that Jehovah has spoken against him: The virgin-daughter of Zion despiseth thee, laugheth thee to scorn; The daughter of Jerusalem shaketh her head at thee. 2 Ki. 19:21
Whom hast thou reproached and blasphemed? and against whom hast thou exalted the voice? Against the Holy one of Israel hast thou lifted up thine eyes on high. 2 Ki. 19:22
By thy messengers thou hast reproached the Lord, and hast said, With the multitude of my chariots have I come up To the height of the mountain, to the recesses of Lebanon, And I will cut down its tall cedars, the choice of its cypresses; And I will enter into its furthest lodging-place, into the forest of its fruitful field. 2 Ki. 19:23
I have digged, and have drunk strange waters, And with the sole of my feet have I dried up all the streams of Matsor. 2 Ki. 19:24
And their inhabitants were powerless, They were dismayed and put to shame; They were as the growing grass, and as the green herb, As the grass on the housetops, and grain blighted before it be grown up. 2 Ki. 19:26
Because thy raging against me and thine arrogance is come up into mine ears, I will put my ring in thy nose, and my bridle in thy lips, And I will make thee go back by the way by which thou camest. 2 Ki. 19:28
And this shall be the sign unto thee: They shall eat this year such as groweth of itself, And in the second year that which springeth of the same; But in the third year sow ye and reap, And plant vineyards and eat the fruit thereof. 2 Ki. 19:29
And the remnant that is escaped of the house of Judah Shall again take root downward, and bear fruit upward; 2 Ki. 19:30
For out of Jerusalem shall go forth a remnant, And out of mount Zion they that escape: The zeal of Jehovah of hosts shall do this. 2 Ki. 19:31
Therefore thus saith Jehovah concerning the king of Assyria: He shall not come into this city, Nor shoot an arrow there, Nor come before it with shield, Nor cast a bank against it. 2 Ki. 19:32
By the way that he came, by the same shall he return, And shall not come into this city, saith Jehovah. 2 Ki. 19:33
And it came to pass that night, that an angel of Jehovah went forth, and smote in the camp of the Assyrians a hundred and eighty-five thousand. And when they arose early in the morning, behold, they were all dead bodies. 2 Ki. 19:35
And it came to pass, as he was worshipping in the house of Nisroch his god, that Adrammelech and Sharezer his sons smote him with the sword; and they escaped into the land of Ararat. And Esarhaddon his son reigned in his stead. 2 Ki. 19:37
In those days Hezekiah was sick unto death. And the prophet Isaiah the son of Amoz came to him and said to him, Thus saith Jehovah: Set thy house in order; for thou shalt die, and not live. 2 Ki. 20:1
And he turned his face to the wall, and prayed to Jehovah saying, 2 Ki. 20:2
And it came to pass before Isaiah had gone out into the middle city that the word of Jehovah came to him saying, 2 Ki. 20:4
Return, and tell Hezekiah the captain of my people, Thus saith Jehovah, the God of David thy father: I have heard thy prayer, I have seen thy tears; behold, I will heal thee: on the third day thou shalt go up to the house of Jehovah; 2 Ki. 20:5
and I will add to thy days fifteen years; and I will deliver thee and this city out of the hand of the king of Assyria, and I will defend this city for mine own sake, and for my servant David's sake. 2 Ki. 20:6
And Isaiah said, Take a cake of figs. And they took and laid it on the boil, and he recovered. 2 Ki. 20:7
And Hezekiah said to Isaiah, What shall be the sign that Jehovah will heal me, and that I shall go up into the house of Jehovah the third day? 2 Ki. 20:8
And Isaiah said, This shall be the sign to thee from Jehovah, that Jehovah will do the thing that he hath spoken: shall the shadow go forward ten degrees, or go back ten degrees? 2 Ki. 20:9
And Hezekiah said, It is a light thing for the shadow to go down ten degrees: no, but let the shadow return backward ten degrees. 2 Ki. 20:10
And Isaiah the prophet cried to Jehovah, and he brought the shadow back on the degrees by which it had gone down on the dial of Ahaz, ten degrees backward. 2 Ki. 20:11
At that time Berodach-Baladan, the son of Baladan, king of Babylon, sent a letter and a present to Hezekiah, for he had heard that Hezekiah had been sick. 2 Ki. 20:12
And Hezekiah hearkened to them, and shewed them all his treasure-house, the silver and the gold, and the spices and the fine oil, and all the house of his armour, and all that was found among his treasures: there was nothing in his house, nor in all his dominion, that Hezekiah did not shew them. 2 Ki. 20:13
Then came the prophet Isaiah to king Hezekiah and said to him, What said these men? and from whence came they to thee? And Hezekiah said, They came from a far country, from Babylon. 2 Ki. 20:14
And Isaiah said to Hezekiah, Hear the word of Jehovah: 2 Ki. 20:16
And of thy sons that shall issue from thee, whom thou shalt beget, shall they take away; and they shall be chamberlains in the palace of the king of Babylon. 2 Ki. 20:18
And Hezekiah said to Isaiah, Good is the word of Jehovah which thou hast spoken. And he said, Is it not so? if only there shall be peace and truth in my days! 2 Ki. 20:19
And the rest of the acts of Hezekiah, and all his might, and how he made the pool and the aqueduct, and brought the water into the city, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah? 2 Ki. 20:20
And he did evil in the sight of Jehovah, like the abominations of the nations that Jehovah had dispossessed from before the children of Israel. 2 Ki. 21:2
And he built again the high places that Hezekiah his father had destroyed; and he reared up altars to Baal and made an Asherah, as did Ahab king of Israel; and worshipped all the host of heaven, and served them. 2 Ki. 21:3
And he built altars in the house of Jehovah, of which Jehovah had said, In Jerusalem will I put my name. 2 Ki. 21:4
And he built altars to all the host of heaven in both courts of the house of Jehovah. 2 Ki. 21:5
And he caused his son to pass through the fire, and used magic and divination, and appointed necromancers and soothsayers: he wrought evil beyond measure in the sight of Jehovah, to provoke him to anger. 2 Ki. 21:6
And he set the graven image of the Asherah that he had made, in the house of which Jehovah had said to David and to Solomon his son, In this house, and in Jerusalem, which I have chosen out of all the tribes of Israel, will I put my name for ever; 2 Ki. 21:7
neither will I any more cause the foot of Israel to wander away from the land that I gave their fathers; if they will only take heed to do according to all that I have commanded them, and according to all the law that my servant Moses commanded them. 2 Ki. 21:8
But they would not hearken, and Manasseh led them astray to do more evil than the nations that Jehovah had destroyed from before the children of Israel. 2 Ki. 21:9
And Jehovah spoke by his servants the prophets saying, 2 Ki. 21:10
Because Manasseh king of Judah hath done these abominations, and hath done wickedly above all that the Amorites did, who were before him, and hath made Judah also to sin with his idols; 2 Ki. 21:11
therefore thus saith Jehovah the God of Israel: Behold, I will bring evil upon Jerusalem and Judah, that whosoever heareth of it, both his ears shall tingle. 2 Ki. 21:12
And I will stretch over Jerusalem the line of Samaria, and the plummet of the house of Ahab, and I will wipe Jerusalem as one wipeth a pan, wiping it and turning it upside down. 2 Ki. 21:13
And I will forsake the remnant of mine inheritance, and deliver them into the hand of their enemies; and they shall become a prey and a spoil to all their enemies; 2 Ki. 21:14
because they have done evil in my sight, and have provoked me to anger, since the day their fathers came forth out of Egypt even to this day. 2 Ki. 21:15
And Manasseh shed very much innocent blood, till he had filled Jerusalem with it from one end to another; beside his sin with which he made Judah to sin, in doing evil in the sight of Jehovah. 2 Ki. 21:16
And the rest of the acts of Manasseh, and all that he did, and his sin which he sinned, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah? 2 Ki. 21:17
And Manasseh slept with his fathers, and was buried in the garden of his own house, in the garden of Uzza; and Amon his son reigned in his stead. 2 Ki. 21:18
And he did evil in the sight of Jehovah, as Manasseh his father had done; 2 Ki. 21:20
and he walked in all the way that his father had walked in, and served the idols that his father had served, and worshipped them; 2 Ki. 21:21
and he forsook Jehovah the God of his fathers, and walked not in the way of Jehovah. 2 Ki. 21:22
And the servants of Amon conspired against him, and slew the king in his own house. 2 Ki. 21:23
But the people of the land smote all them that had conspired against king Amon; and the people of the land made Josiah his son king in his stead. 2 Ki. 21:24
And the rest of the acts of Amon, what he did, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah? 2 Ki. 21:25
And he was buried in his sepulchre in the garden of Uzza; and Josiah his son reigned in his stead. 2 Ki. 21:26
And he did what was right in the sight of Jehovah, and walked in all the way of David his father, and turned not aside to the right hand nor to the left. 2 Ki. 22:2
And it came to pass in the eighteenth year of king Josiah, that the king sent Shaphan the son of Azaliah, son of Meshullam, the scribe, to the house of Jehovah, saying, 2 Ki. 22:3
Go up to Hilkijah the high priest, that he may sum up the money which is brought into the house of Jehovah, which the doorkeepers have gathered of the people, 2 Ki. 22:4
and let them give it into the hand of them that do the work, that have the oversight of the house of Jehovah; and let them give it to those that do the work in the house of Jehovah, to repair the breaches of the house, 2 Ki. 22:5
to the carpenters and the builders and the masons, and to buy timber and hewn stone to repair the house. 2 Ki. 22:6
But no reckoning was made with them of the money that was given into their hand, because they dealt faithfully. 2 Ki. 22:7
And Hilkijah the high priest said to Shaphan the scribe, I have found the book of the law in the house of Jehovah. And Hilkijah gave the book to Shaphan, and he read it. 2 Ki. 22:8
And Shaphan the scribe came to the king, and brought the king word again and said, Thy servants have emptied out the money that was found in the house, and have delivered it into the hand of them that do the work, that have the oversight of the house of Jehovah. 2 Ki. 22:9
And Shaphan the scribe informed the king saying, Hilkijah the priest has given me a book. And Shaphan read it before the king. 2 Ki. 22:10
And it came to pass when the king heard the words of the book of the law, that he rent his garments. 2 Ki. 22:11
And the king commanded Hilkijah the priest, and Ahikam the son of Shaphan, and Achbor the son of Micaiah, and Shaphan the scribe, and Asaiah a servant of the king, saying, 2 Ki. 22:12
Go, inquire of Jehovah for me, and for the people, and for all Judah, concerning the words of this book which is found; for great is the wrath of Jehovah that is kindled against us, because our fathers have not hearkened to the words of this book, to do according to all that is written there for us. 2 Ki. 22:13
And Hilkijah the priest, and Ahikam, and Achbor, and Shaphan, and Asaiah, went to Huldah the prophetess, the wife of Shallum the son of Tikvah, son of Harhas, keeper of the wardrobe: now she dwelt in Jerusalem in the second quarter of the town; and they spoke with her. 2 Ki. 22:14
And she said to them, Thus saith Jehovah the God of Israel: Tell the man that sent you to me, 2 Ki. 22:15
Thus saith Jehovah: Behold, I will bring evil upon this place and upon the inhabitants thereof, all the words of the book that the king of Judah hath read. 2 Ki. 22:16
Because they have forsaken me, and have burned incense unto other gods, that they might provoke me to anger with all the work of their hands, therefore my fury is kindled against this place, and shall not be quenched. 2 Ki. 22:17
But to the king of Judah, who sent you to inquire of Jehovah, thus shall ye say to him: Thus saith Jehovah the God of Israel touching the words which thou hast heard: 2 Ki. 22:18
Because thy heart was tender, and thou didst humble thyself before Jehovah, when thou heardest what I spoke against this place and against the inhabitants thereof, that they should become a desolation and a curse, and didst rend thy garments and weep before me, I also have heard thee, saith Jehovah. 2 Ki. 22:19
Therefore, behold, I will gather thee unto thy fathers, and thou shalt be gathered to thy grave in peace; and thine eyes shall not see all the evil that I will bring upon this place. And they brought the king word again. 2 Ki. 22:20
And the king sent, and they gathered to him all the elders of Judah and of Jerusalem. 2 Ki. 23:1
And the king went up into the house of Jehovah, and all the men of Judah and all the inhabitants of Jerusalem with him, and the priests and the prophets, and all the people, both small and great; and he read in their ears all the words of the book of the covenant which had been found in the house of Jehovah. 2 Ki. 23:2
And the king stood on the dais, and made a covenant before Jehovah, to walk after Jehovah, and to keep his commandments and his testimonies and his statutes with all his heart, and with all his soul, to establish the words of this covenant that are written in this book. And all the people stood to the covenant. 2 Ki. 23:3
And the king commanded Hilkijah the high priest, and the priests of the second order, and the doorkeepers, to bring forth out of the temple of Jehovah all the vessels that had been made for Baal, and for the Asherah, and for all the host of the heavens; and he burned them outside Jerusalem in the fields of Kidron, and carried the ashes of them to Bethel. 2 Ki. 23:4
And he abolished the idolatrous priests, whom the kings of Judah had ordained to burn incense on the high places in the cities of Judah, and the environs of Jerusalem; and them that burned incense to Baal, to the sun, and to the moon, and to the constellations, and to all the host of heaven. 2 Ki. 23:5
And he brought out the Asherah from the house of Jehovah, outside Jerusalem, to the torrent of Kidron, and burned it at the torrent of Kidron, and stamped it small to powder, and cast the powder upon the graves of the children of the people. 2 Ki. 23:6
And he broke down the houses of the sodomites, which were in the house of Jehovah, where the women wove tents for the Asherah. 2 Ki. 23:7
And he brought all the priests out of the cities of Judah, and defiled the high places where the priests had burned incense, from Geba even to Beer-sheba; and he broke down the high places of the gates, those at the entrance of the gate of Joshua the governor of the city, and those on the left hand of any going in at the gate of the city. 2 Ki. 23:8
Nevertheless the priests of the high places came not up to the altar of Jehovah in Jerusalem, but they ate of the unleavened bread among their brethren. 2 Ki. 23:9
And he defiled Topheth, which is in the valley of the sons of Hinnom, that no man might cause his son or his daughter to pass through the fire to Molech. 2 Ki. 23:10
And he abolished the horses that the kings of Judah had appointed to the sun at the entrance of the house of Jehovah, by the chamber of Nathan-melech the chamberlain, which was in the suburbs, and burned the chariots of the sun, with fire. 2 Ki. 23:11
And the king broke down the altars that were on the roof of the upper chamber of Ahaz, which the kings of Judah had made, and the altars that Manasseh had made in the two courts of the house of Jehovah, and he shattered them, removing them from thence, and cast the powder of them into the torrent of Kidron. 2 Ki. 23:12
And the high places that were before Jerusalem, which were on the right hand of the mount of corruption, which Solomon the king of Israel had built for Ashtoreth the abomination of the Zidonians, and for Chemosh the abomination of the Moabites, and for Milcom the abomination of the children of Ammon, did the king defile. 2 Ki. 23:13
And he broke in pieces the columns, and cut down the Asherahs, and filled their place with the bones of men. 2 Ki. 23:14
Moreover the altar that was at Bethel, the high place that Jeroboam the son of Nebat, who caused Israel to sin, had made, both that altar and the high place he broke down; and burned the high place, stamped it small to powder, and burned the Asherah. 2 Ki. 23:15
And Josiah turned himself, and saw the sepulchres that were there on the mount; and he sent and took the bones out of the sepulchres, and burned them upon the altar, and defiled it, according to the word of Jehovah, that the man of God had proclaimed, who proclaimed these things. 2 Ki. 23:16
Then he said, What tombstone is that which I see? And the men of the city told him, It is the sepulchre of the man of God who came from Judah and proclaimed these things which thou hast done against the altar of Bethel. 2 Ki. 23:17
And he said, Let him alone; let no man move his bones. And they saved his bones, with the bones of the prophet that came out of Samaria. 2 Ki. 23:18
And all the houses also of the high places that were in the cities of Samaria, which the kings of Israel had made to provoke Jehovah to anger, Josiah removed, and did to them according to all the acts that he had done in Bethel. 2 Ki. 23:19
And he sacrificed upon the altars all the priests of the high places that were there, and burned men's bones upon them. And he returned to Jerusalem. 2 Ki. 23:20
And the king commanded all the people saying, Hold the passover to Jehovah your God, as it is written in this book of the covenant. 2 Ki. 23:21
For there was not holden such a passover from the days of the judges that judged Israel, nor in all the days of the kings of Israel, nor of the kings of Judah; 2 Ki. 23:22
but in the eighteenth year of king Josiah was this passover holden to Jehovah in Jerusalem. 2 Ki. 23:23
Moreover the necromancers and the soothsayers, and the teraphim and the idols, and all the abominations that were seen in the land of Judah and in Jerusalem, Josiah took away, that he might perform the words of the law which were written in the book that Hilkijah the priest had found in the house of Jehovah. 2 Ki. 23:24
And before him there had been no king like him that turned to Jehovah with all his heart and with all his soul and with all his might, according to all the law of Moses; neither after him arose there his like. 2 Ki. 23:25
But Jehovah turned not from the fierceness of his great wrath, wherewith his anger was kindled against Judah, because of all the provocations with which Manasseh had provoked him. 2 Ki. 23:26
And Jehovah said, I will remove Judah also out of my sight, as I have removed Israel, and will reject this city Jerusalem which I have chosen, and the house of which I said, My name shall be there. 2 Ki. 23:27
And the rest of the acts of Josiah, and all that he did, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah? 2 Ki. 23:28
In his days Pharaoh-Nechoh king of Egypt went up against the king of Assyria to the river Euphrates; and king Josiah went against him; but Nechoh slew him at Megiddo, when he had seen him. 2 Ki. 23:29
And his servants carried him in a chariot dead from Megiddo, and brought him to Jerusalem, and buried him in his own sepulchre. And the people of the land took Jehoahaz the son of Josiah, and anointed him, and made him king in his father's stead. 2 Ki. 23:30
And he did evil in the sight of Jehovah, according to all that his fathers had done. 2 Ki. 23:32
And Pharaoh-Nechoh had him bound at Riblah in the land of Hamath, that he might not reign in Jerusalem; and laid a tribute upon the land of a hundred talents of silver and a talent of gold. 2 Ki. 23:33
And Pharaoh-Nechoh made Eliakim the son of Josiah king instead of Josiah his father, and changed his name to Jehoiakim. And he took Jehoahaz; and he came to Egypt, and died there. 2 Ki. 23:34
And Jehoiakim gave the silver and the gold to Pharaoh; but he laid a proportional tax on the land to give the money according to the command of Pharaoh: he exacted the silver and the gold of the people of the land, of every one according to his estimation, to give it to Pharaoh-Nechoh. 2 Ki. 23:35
And he did evil in the sight of Jehovah, according to all that his fathers had done. 2 Ki. 23:37
And Jehovah sent against him the bands of the Chaldeans, and the bands of the Syrians, and the bands of the Moabites, and the bands of the children of Ammon, and sent them against Judah to destroy it, according to the word of Jehovah, which he spoke through his servants the prophets. 2 Ki. 24:2
Verily, at the commandment of Jehovah it came to pass against Judah, that they should be removed out of his sight, for the sins of Manasseh, according to all that he had done; 2 Ki. 24:3
and also because of the innocent blood that he had shed; for he had filled Jerusalem with innocent blood, and Jehovah would not pardon. 2 Ki. 24:4
And the rest of the acts of Jehoiakim, and all that he did, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah? 2 Ki. 24:5
And the king of Egypt came not again any more out of his land, for the king of Babylon had taken all that belonged to the king of Egypt, from the torrent of Egypt to the river Euphrates. 2 Ki. 24:7
And he did evil in the sight of Jehovah, according to all that his father had done. 2 Ki. 24:9
At that time the servants of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came up against Jerusalem, and the city was besieged. 2 Ki. 24:10
And Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came against the city, while his servants were besieging it. 2 Ki. 24:11
And Jehoiachin king of Judah went out to the king of Babylon, he, and his mother, and his servants, and his princes, and his chamberlains; and the king of Babylon took him in the eighth year of his reign. 2 Ki. 24:12
And he brought out thence all the treasures of the house of Jehovah, and the treasures of the king's house, and cut in pieces all the vessels of gold that Solomon king of Israel had made in the temple of Jehovah, as Jehovah had said. 2 Ki. 24:13
And he carried away all Jerusalem, and all the princes, and all the mighty men of valour, ten thousand captives, and all the craftsmen and smiths: none remained but the poorest sort of the people of the land. 2 Ki. 24:14
And he carried away Jehoiachin to Babylon, and the king's mother, and the king's wives, and his chamberlains, and the mighty of the land, he led into captivity from Jerusalem to Babylon; 2 Ki. 24:15
and all the men of valour, seven thousand, and the craftsmen and smiths a thousand, all strong men apt for war, and the king of Babylon brought them captive to Babylon. 2 Ki. 24:16
And the king of Babylon made Mattaniah his uncle king in his stead, and changed his name to Zedekiah. 2 Ki. 24:17
And he did evil in the sight of Jehovah, according to all that Jehoiakim had done. 2 Ki. 24:19
For, because the anger of Jehovah was against Jerusalem and against Judah, until he had cast them out from his presence, Zedekiah rebelled against the king of Babylon. 2 Ki. 24:20
And it came to pass in the ninth year of his reign, in the tenth month, on the tenth of the month, that Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came, he and all his army, against Jerusalem, and encamped against it; and they built turrets against it round about. 2 Ki. 25:1
And the city was besieged until the eleventh year of king Zedekiah. 2 Ki. 25:2
On the ninth of the fourth month the famine prevailed in the city, and there was no bread for the people of the land. 2 Ki. 25:3
And the city was broken into; and all the men of war fled by night, by the way of the gate between the two walls, which leads to the king's garden (now the Chaldeans were by the city round about); and they went the way toward the plain. 2 Ki. 25:4
And the army of the Chaldeans pursued after the king, and overtook him in the plains of Jericho; and all his army was scattered from him. 2 Ki. 25:5
And they took the king, and brought him up to the king of Babylon unto Riblah; and they pronounced judgment upon him, 2 Ki. 25:6
and slaughtered the sons of Zedekiah before his eyes, and put out the eyes of Zedekiah, and bound him with chains of brass, and carried him to Babylon. 2 Ki. 25:7
And in the fifth month, on the seventh of the month, which was in the nineteenth year of king Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon, Nebuzar-adan, captain of the body-guard, servant of the king of Babylon, came unto Jerusalem; 2 Ki. 25:8
and he burned the house of Jehovah, and the king's house, and all the houses of Jerusalem; and every great man's house he burned with fire. 2 Ki. 25:9
And all the army of the Chaldeans that were with the captain of the body-guard broke down the walls of Jerusalem round about. 2 Ki. 25:10
And Nebuzar-adan the captain of the body-guard carried away captive the rest of the people that were left in the city, and the deserters that had deserted to the king of Babylon, and the rest of the multitude. 2 Ki. 25:11
But the captain of the body-guard left of the poor of the land for vinedressers and husbandmen. 2 Ki. 25:12
And the brazen pillars that were in the house of Jehovah, and the bases, and the brazen sea that was in the house of Jehovah, the Chaldeans broke in pieces, and carried the brass thereof to Babylon. 2 Ki. 25:13
The cauldrons also and the shovels and the knives and the cups, and all the vessels of copper wherewith they ministered, they took away. 2 Ki. 25:14
And the censers and the bowls, that which was of gold in gold, and that which was of silver in silver, the captain of the body-guard took away. 2 Ki. 25:15
The two pillars, the one sea, and the bases which Solomon had made for the house of Jehovah: for the brass of all these vessels there was no weight. 2 Ki. 25:16
The height of one pillar was eighteen cubits, and the capital upon it was brass, and the height of the capital three cubits; and the network and the pomegranates, upon the capital round about, all of brass: and similarly for the second pillar with the network. 2 Ki. 25:17
And the captain of the body-guard took Seraiah the high priest, and Zephaniah the second priest, and the three doorkeepers. 2 Ki. 25:18
And out of the city he took a chamberlain that was set over the men of war, and five men of them that were in the king's presence, who were found in the city, and the scribe of the captain of the host, who enrolled the people of the land; and sixty men of the people of the land that were found in the city. 2 Ki. 25:19
And Nebuzar-adan the captain of the body-guard took them and brought them to the king of Babylon to Riblah; 2 Ki. 25:20
and the king of Babylon smote them and put them to death at Riblah in the land of Hamath. Thus Judah was carried away captive out of his land. 2 Ki. 25:21
And as for the people that remained in the land of Judah, whom Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon had left behind, over them he appointed Gedaliah the son of Ahikam, the son of Shaphan. 2 Ki. 25:22
And all the captains of the forces, they and their men, heard that the king of Babylon had appointed Gedaliah, and they came to Gedaliah to Mizpah, namely, Ishmael the son of Nethaniah, and Johanan the son of Kareah, and Seraiah the son of Tanhumeth the Netophathite, and Jaazaniah the son of a Maachathite, they and their men. 2 Ki. 25:23
And Gedaliah swore unto them and to their men, and said to them, Fear not to be servants of the Chaldeans: dwell in the land, and serve the king of Babylon, and it shall be well with you. 2 Ki. 25:24
* And it came to pass in the seventh month, that Ishmael the son of Nethaniah, the son of Elishama, of the royal seed, came, and ten men with him, and smote Gedaliah, that he died, and the Jews and the Chaldeans that were with him at Mizpah. 2 Ki. 25:25
And all the people, both small and great, and the captains of the forces, arose and came to Egypt; for they were afraid of the Chaldeans. 2 Ki. 25:26
* And it came to pass in the thirty-seventh year of the captivity of Jehoiachin king of Judah, in the twelfth month, on the twenty-seventh of the month, that Evil-Merodach king of Babylon, in the year that he began to reign, lifted up the head of Jehoiachin king of Judah out of prison; 2 Ki. 25:27
and he spoke kindly to him, and set his seat above the seat of the kings that were with him in Babylon. 2 Ki. 25:28
And he changed his prison garments; and he ate bread before him continually all the days of his life; 2 Ki. 25:29
and his allowance was a continual allowance given him by the king, every day a portion, all the days of his life. 2 Ki. 25:30

Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, the son of a valiant man, great in exploits, of Kabzeel: he it was that smote two lions of Moab; and he went down and smote a lion in the midst of a pit on a snowy day. 1 Chr. 11:22
He also smote the Egyptian, a man of stature, five cubits high: and in the Egyptian's hand was a spear like a weaver's beam; and he went down to him with a staff, and plucked the spear out of the Egyptian's hand, and slew him with his own spear. 1 Chr. 11:23
These things did Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, and he had a name among the three mighty men. 1 Chr. 11:24

And there fell some of Manasseh to David, when he came with the Philistines against Saul to battle: but they helped them not; for the lords of the Philistines upon deliberation sent him away, saying, He will fall to his master Saul at the peril of our heads. 1 Chr. 12:19

and let us bring again the ark of our God to us; for we inquired not of it in the days of Saul. 1 Chr. 13:3

And these are the names of the children which he had in Jerusalem: Shammua, and Shobab, Nathan, and Solomon, 1 Chr. 14:4
And the Philistines heard that David was anointed king over all Israel, and all the Philistines went up to seek David; and David heard of it, and went out against them. 1 Chr. 14:8

And the Philistines yet again spread themselves in the valley. 1 Chr. 14:13
And David inquired again of God; and God said to him, Go not up after them; turn round them and come upon them opposite the mulberry-trees. 1 Chr. 14:14
And it shall be, when thou hearest the sound of marching in the tops of the mulberry-trees, that then thou shalt go out to battle; for God will have gone forth before thee to smite the army of the Philistines. 1 Chr. 14:15
And David did as God commanded him; and they smote the army of the Philistines from Gibeon even to Gezer. 1 Chr. 14:16

And David called for Zadok and Abiathar the priests, and for the Levites, for Uriel, Asaiah, and Joel, Shemaiah, and Eliel, and Amminadab; 1 Chr. 15:11
and he said to them, Ye are the chief fathers of the Levites; hallow yourselves, ye and your brethren, that ye may bring up the ark of Jehovah the God of Israel to the place that I have prepared for it. 1 Chr. 15:12
For because ye did it not at the first, Jehovah our God made a breach upon us, for that we sought him not after the due order. 1 Chr. 15:13
So the priests and the Levites hallowed themselves to bring up the ark of Jehovah the God of Israel. 1 Chr. 15:14
And the children of the Levites bore the ark of God upon their shoulders with the staves upon them, as Moses had commanded according to the word of Jehovah. 1 Chr. 15:15

and the singers, Heman, Asaph, and Ethan, to sound aloud with cymbals of brass; 1 Chr. 15:19
and Mattithiah, and Elipheleh, and Mikneiah, and Obed-Edom and Jeiel, and Azaziah, with harps on the Sheminith to lead the singing. 1 Chr. 15:21

And David, and the elders of Israel, and the captains over thousands, went to bring up the ark of the covenant of Jehovah out of the house of Obed-Edom with joy. 1 Chr. 15:25
And it came to pass, when God helped the Levites that bore the ark of the covenant of Jehovah, that they sacrificed seven bullocks and seven rams. 1 Chr. 15:26

And all Israel brought up the ark of the covenant of Jehovah with shouting, and with sound of the trumpet, and with clarions, and with cymbals, playing aloud with lutes and harps. 1 Chr. 15:28

And they brought in the ark of God, and set it in the midst of the tent that David had spread for it; and they presented burnt-offerings and peace-offerings before God. 1 Chr. 16:1
And when David had ended offering up the burnt-offerings and the peace-offerings, he blessed the people in the name of Jehovah. 1 Chr. 16:2
And he appointed certain of the Levites to do the service before the ark of Jehovah, and to celebrate, and to thank and praise Jehovah the God of Israel: 1 Chr. 16:4
Asaph the chief, and second to him Zechariah, Jeiel, and Shemiramoth, and Jehiel, and Mattithiah, and Eliab, and Benaiah and Obed-Edom, and Jeiel, with instruments of lutes and with harps; and Asaph sounding with cymbals; 1 Chr. 16:5
and Benaiah and Jahaziel the priests with trumpets continually, before the ark of the covenant of God. 1 Chr. 16:6
Give thanks unto Jehovah, call upon his name; Make known his acts among the peoples. 1 Chr. 16:8
Glory in his holy name: Let the heart of them rejoice that seek Jehovah. 1 Chr. 16:10
Remember his wondrous works which he hath done; His miracles, and the judgments of his mouth: 1 Chr. 16:12
He, Jehovah, is our God; His judgments are in all the earth. 1 Chr. 16:14
Be ye ever mindful of his covenant, The word which he commanded to a thousand generations, -- 1 Chr. 16:15
Saying, Unto thee will I give the land of Canaan, The lot of your inheritance; 1 Chr. 16:18
Sing unto Jehovah, all the earth; Publish his salvation from day to day. 1 Chr. 16:23
Declare his glory among the nations, His wondrous works among all peoples. 1 Chr. 16:24
For all the gods of the peoples are idols; But Jehovah made the heavens. 1 Chr. 16:26
Give unto Jehovah the glory of his name! Bring an oblation, and come before him: Worship Jehovah in holy splendour. 1 Chr. 16:29
Tremble before him, all the earth: The world also is established, it shall not be moved. 1 Chr. 16:30
Let the heavens rejoice, and let the earth be glad; And let them say among the nations, Jehovah reigneth! 1 Chr. 16:31
Let the sea roar, and the fulness thereof; Let the field exult, and all that is therein. 1 Chr. 16:32
Then shall the trees of the forest sing out at the presence of Jehovah, For he cometh to judge the earth. 1 Chr. 16:33
And say, Save us, O God of our salvation, And gather us, and deliver us from the nations, To give thanks unto thy holy name, To triumph in thy praise. 1 Chr. 16:35
Blessed be Jehovah the God of Israel, from eternity and to eternity! And all the people said, Amen! and praised Jehovah. 1 Chr. 16:36
And he left there, before the ark of the covenant of Jehovah, Asaph and his brethren, to do the service before the ark continually, as every day's duty required; 1 Chr. 16:37
and Obed-Edom, and their brethren, sixty-eight; Obed-Edom also, the son of Jeduthun, and Hosah as doorkeepers. 1 Chr. 16:38
And Zadok the priest, and his brethren the priests, before the tabernacle of Jehovah in the high place that was at Gibeon, 1 Chr. 16:39
to offer up burnt-offerings to Jehovah on the altar of burnt-offering continually, morning and evening, and according to all that is written in the law of Jehovah, which he commanded Israel; 1 Chr. 16:40
and with them Heman and Jeduthun, and the rest that were chosen, who were expressed by name, to give thanks to Jehovah, because his loving-kindness endureth for ever; 1 Chr. 16:41
and with them, with Heman and Jeduthun, trumpets and cymbals for those that should sound aloud; and the musical instruments of God. And the sons of Jeduthun were at the gate. 1 Chr. 16:42
And all the people departed every one to his house; and David returned to bless his household. 1 Chr. 16:43
And it came to pass as David dwelt in his house, that David said to Nathan the prophet, Behold, I dwell in a house of cedars, and the ark of the covenant of Jehovah under curtains. 1 Chr. 17:1
And it came to pass that night that the word of God came to Nathan saying, 1 Chr. 17:3
for I have not dwelt in a house since the day that I brought up Israel to this day; but I have been from tent to tent, and from one tabernacle to another. 1 Chr. 17:5
In all my going about with all Israel, did I speak a word to any of the judges of Israel, whom I commanded to feed my people, saying, Why build ye me not a house of cedars? 1 Chr. 17:6
And now, thus shalt thou say unto my servant David, Thus saith Jehovah of hosts: I took thee from the pasture-grounds, from following the sheep, to be prince over my people Israel; 1 Chr. 17:7
and I have been with thee whithersoever thou wentest, and have cut off all thine enemies from before thee, and have made thee a name, like unto the name of the great men that are on the earth. 1 Chr. 17:8
And I will appoint a place for my people Israel, and will plant them, that they may dwell in a place of their own, and be disturbed no more; neither shall the sons of wickedness waste them any more, as formerly, 1 Chr. 17:9
and since the days that I commanded judges to be over my people Israel. And I will subdue all thine enemies; and I tell thee that Jehovah will build thee a house. 1 Chr. 17:10
And this hath been a small thing in thy sight, O God; and thou hast spoken of thy servant's house for a great while to come, and hast regarded me according to the rank of a man of high degree, Jehovah Elohim. 1 Chr. 17:17
What can David say more to thee for the glory of thy servant? thou indeed knowest thy servant. 1 Chr. 17:18
And who is like thy people Israel, the one nation in the earth that God went to redeem to be a people to himself, to make thee a name of greatness and terribleness, by driving out nations from before thy people, which thou hast redeemed out of Egypt? 1 Chr. 17:21
And now, Jehovah, let the word that thou hast spoken concerning thy servant and concerning his house be established for ever, and do as thou hast said. 1 Chr. 17:23
Let it even be established, and let thy name be magnified for ever, saying, Jehovah of hosts, the God of Israel, is God to Israel; and let the house of David thy servant be established before thee. 1 Chr. 17:24
and now, let it please thee to bless the house of thy servant, that it may be before thee for ever; for thou, Jehovah, hast blessed it, and it shall be blessed for ever. 1 Chr. 17:27
And after this it came to pass that David smote the Philistines, and subdued them, and took Gath and its towns out of the hand of the Philistines. 1 Chr. 18:1
And he smote the Moabites; and the Moabites became David's servants, and brought gifts. 1 Chr. 18:2
And David smote Hadarezer king of Zobah, at Hamath, as he went to establish his dominion by the river Euphrates. 1 Chr. 18:3
And David took from him a thousand chariots, and seven thousand horsemen, and twenty thousand footmen; and David houghed all the chariot horses, but reserved of them for a hundred chariots. 1 Chr. 18:4
And the Syrians of Damascus came to help Hadarezer king of Zobah, and David smote of the Syrians twenty-two thousand men. 1 Chr. 18:5
And David put garrisons in Syria of Damascus; and the Syrians became servants to David, and brought gifts. And Jehovah preserved David whithersoever he went. 1 Chr. 18:6
And David took the shields of gold that were on the servants of Hadarezer, and brought them to Jerusalem. 1 Chr. 18:7
And from Tibhath, and from Chun, cities of Hadarezer, David took very much brass, of which Solomon made the brazen sea, and the pillars, and the vessels of brass. 1 Chr. 18:8
And Tou king of Hamath heard that David had smitten all the forces of Hadarezer king of Zobah; 1 Chr. 18:9
Them also king David dedicated to Jehovah, with the silver and the gold that he had brought from all the nations: from the Edomites, and from the Moabites, and from the children of Ammon, and from the Philistines, and from the Amalekites. 1 Chr. 18:11
And Abishai the son of Zeruiah smote of the Edomites in the valley of salt eighteen thousand. 1 Chr. 18:12
And Joab the son of Zeruiah was over the host; and Jehoshaphat the son of Ahilud was chronicler; 1 Chr. 18:15
and Zadok the son of Ahitub, and Abimelech the son of Abiathar, were the priests; and Shavsha was scribe; 1 Chr. 18:16
and Benaiah the son of Jehoiada was over the Cherethites and the Pelethites; and the sons of David were the first at the king's hand. 1 Chr. 18:17
And it came to pass after this that Nahash king of the children of Ammon died, and his son reigned in his stead. 1 Chr. 19:1
And David said, I will shew kindness to Hanun the son of Nahash, because his father shewed kindness to me. And David sent messengers to comfort him concerning his father. And David's servants came into the land of the children of Ammon to Hanun, to comfort him. 1 Chr. 19:2
And the princes of the children of Ammon said to Hanun, Is it, in thine eyes, to honour thy father that David has sent comforters to thee? Is it not to search and overthrow, and to spy out the land that his servants are come to thee? 1 Chr. 19:3
And Hanun took David's servants, and had them shaved, and their raiment cut off in the midst, as far as the hip, and sent them away. 1 Chr. 19:4
And certain went and told David concerning the men; and he sent to meet them, for the men were greatly ashamed. And the king said, Abide at Jericho until your beards be grown, and then return. 1 Chr. 19:5
And the children of Ammon saw that they had made themselves odious to David; and Hanun and the children of Ammon sent a thousand talents of silver to hire them chariots and horsemen out of Mesopotamia, and from the Syrians of Maacah, and from Zobah. 1 Chr. 19:6
And they hired thirty-two thousand chariots, and the king of Maacah and his people; and they came and encamped before Medeba. And the children of Ammon gathered together from their cities, and came to battle. 1 Chr. 19:7
And David heard of it, and he sent Joab, and all the host, the mighty men. 1 Chr. 19:8
And the children of Ammon came out, and put the battle in array at the entrance of the city; and the kings that had come were by themselves on the field. 1 Chr. 19:9
And Joab saw that the front of the battle was against him before and behind; and he chose out of all the choice men of Israel, and put them in array against the Syrians; 1 Chr. 19:10
and the rest of the people he gave into the hand of Abishai his brother, and they set themselves in array against the children of Ammon. 1 Chr. 19:11
And he said, If the Syrians be too strong for me, then thou shalt help me; and if the children of Ammon be too strong for thee, then I will help thee. 1 Chr. 19:12
Be strong, and let us shew ourselves valiant for our people, and for the cities of our God; and Jehovah will do what is good in his sight. 1 Chr. 19:13
And Joab and the people that were with him drew near in front of the Syrians to the battle; and they fled before him. 1 Chr. 19:14
And when the children of Ammon saw that the Syrians fled, they likewise fled before Abishai his brother, and entered into the city. And Joab came to Jerusalem. 1 Chr. 19:15
And when the Syrians saw that they were routed before Israel, they sent messengers, and drew forth the Syrians that were beyond the river; and Shophach the captain of the host of Hadarezer went before them. 1 Chr. 19:16
And it was told David; and he gathered all Israel, and passed over the Jordan, and came upon them, and set the battle in array against them. And David put the battle in array against the Syrians, and they fought with him. 1 Chr. 19:17
And the Syrians fled from before Israel; and David slew of the Syrians seven thousand in chariots, and forty thousand footmen, and slew Shophach the captain of the host. 1 Chr. 19:18
And the servants of Hadarezer saw that they were routed before Israel, and they made peace with David, and became his servants. And the Syrians would no more help the children of Ammon. 1 Chr. 19:19
And it came to pass at the time of the return of the year, at the time when kings go forth, that Joab led forth the power of the army, and laid waste the land of the children of Ammon, and came and besieged Rabbah. But David abode at Jerusalem. And Joab smote Rabbah, and overthrew it. 1 Chr. 20:1
And David took the crown of their king from off his head, and found it to weigh a talent of gold, and there were precious stones in it; and it was set upon David's head: and he brought forth the spoil of the city in great abundance. 1 Chr. 20:2
And he brought out the people that were in it, and cut them with the saw, and with harrows of iron, and with saws. And so David did to all the cities of the children of Ammon. And David and all the people returned to Jerusalem. 1 Chr. 20:3
And it came to pass after this, that there arose war at Gezer with the Philistines; then Sibbechai the Hushathite smote Sippai, one of the children of Rapha; and they were subdued. 1 Chr. 20:4
And there was again a battle with the Philistines; and Elhanan the son of Jair smote Lahmi the brother of Goliath the Gittite; now the shaft of his spear was like a weaver's beam. 1 Chr. 20:5
And he defied Israel; but Jonathan the son of Shimea David's brother smote him. 1 Chr. 20:7
These were born to Rapha in Gath; and they fell by the hand of David, and by the hand of his servants. 1 Chr. 20:8
And David said to Joab and to the princes of the people, Go, number Israel from Beer-sheba even to Dan; and bring the number of them to me, that I may know it. 1 Chr. 21:2
But the king's word prevailed against Joab; and Joab departed, and went through all Israel, and came again to Jerusalem. 1 Chr. 21:4
And Joab gave the sum of the number of the people to David. And all they of Israel were eleven hundred thousand men that drew sword; and of Judah, four hundred and seventy thousand men that drew sword. 1 Chr. 21:5
But Levi and Benjamin he did not count among them; for the king's word was abominable to Joab. 1 Chr. 21:6
And David said to God, I have sinned greatly, in that I have done this thing; and now, I beseech thee, put away the iniquity of thy servant; for I have done very foolishly. 1 Chr. 21:8
Choose thee, either three years of famine, or three months to be destroyed before thine adversaries while that the sword of thine enemies overtaketh thee, or three days the sword of Jehovah and the pestilence in the land, and the angel of Jehovah destroying through all the borders of Israel. And now consider what word I shall bring again to him that sent me. 1 Chr. 21:12
And David said to Gad, I am in a great strait: let me fall, I pray thee, into the hand of Jehovah, for his mercies are very great; but let me not fall into the hand of man. 1 Chr. 21:13
And God sent an angel to Jerusalem to destroy it; and as he was destroying, Jehovah beheld, and he repented him of the evil, and said to the angel that destroyed, It is enough; withdraw now thine hand. And the angel of Jehovah stood by the threshing-floor of Ornan the Jebusite. 1 Chr. 21:15
And David lifted up his eyes, and saw the angel of Jehovah stand between the earth and the heavens, and his sword drawn in his hand, stretched out over Jerusalem. And David and the elders, clothed in sackcloth, fell on their faces. 1 Chr. 21:16
And David said to God, Is it not I that commanded the people to be numbered? It is I that have sinned and done evil; but these sheep, what have they done? Let thy hand, I pray thee, Jehovah my God, be on me and on my father's house; but not on thy people, that they should be smitten. 1 Chr. 21:17
And the angel of Jehovah commanded Gad to say to David, that David should go up and rear an altar to Jehovah in the threshing-floor of Ornan the Jebusite. 1 Chr. 21:18
And David went up at the saying of Gad, which he had spoken in the name of Jehovah. 1 Chr. 21:19
And Ornan turned back and saw the angel; and his four sons with him hid themselves. Now Ornan was threshing wheat. 1 Chr. 21:20
And David came to Ornan, and Ornan looked and saw David, and went out of the threshing-floor, and bowed himself to David with his face to the ground. 1 Chr. 21:21
And David said to Ornan, Grant me the place of the threshing-floor, that I may build an altar in it to Jehovah: grant it to me for the full money, that the plague may be stayed from the people. 1 Chr. 21:22
And Ornan said to David, Take it to thee, and let my lord the king do that which is good in his sight: see, I give the oxen for the burnt-offering, and the threshing-sledges for wood, and the wheat for the oblation; I give it all. 1 Chr. 21:23
And king David said to Ornan, No; but I will in any case buy them for the full money; for I will not take that which is thine for Jehovah, to offer up a burnt-offering without cost. 1 Chr. 21:24
And David gave to Ornan for the place in shekels of gold the weight of six hundred shekels. 1 Chr. 21:25
And David built there an altar to Jehovah, and offered up burnt-offerings and peace-offerings, and called upon Jehovah; and he answered him from the heavens by fire upon the altar of burnt-offering. 1 Chr. 21:26
And Jehovah spoke to the angel; and he put up his sword again into its sheath. 1 Chr. 21:27
At that time when David saw that Jehovah had answered him in the threshing-floor of Ornan the Jebusite, then he sacrificed there. 1 Chr. 21:28
And the tabernacle of Jehovah, which Moses had made in the wilderness, and the altar of burnt-offering, were at that time in the high place at Gibeon. 1 Chr. 21:29
But David could not go before it to inquire of God; for he was afraid because of the sword of the angel of Jehovah. 1 Chr. 21:30
And David said, This is the house of Jehovah Elohim, and this is the altar of burnt-offering for Israel. 1 Chr. 22:1
And David commanded to collect the strangers that were in the land of Israel; and he set masons to hew wrought stones to build the house of God. 1 Chr. 22:2
And David prepared iron in abundance for the nails for the doors of the gates, and for the joists, and brass in abundance without weight; 1 Chr. 22:3
and cedar-trees innumerable; for the Zidonians and they of Tyre brought cedar-wood in abundance to David. 1 Chr. 22:4
For David said, Solomon my son is young and tender, and the house that is to be built for Jehovah must be exceeding great in fame and in beauty in all lands: I will therefore make preparation for it. And David prepared abundantly before his death. 1 Chr. 22:5
And he called for Solomon his son, and charged him to build a house for Jehovah the God of Israel. 1 Chr. 22:6
And David said to Solomon, As for me, my son, I was minded to build a house unto the name of Jehovah my God. 1 Chr. 22:7
But the word of Jehovah came to me saying, Thou hast shed blood abundantly, and hast made great wars: thou shalt not build a house unto my name, for thou hast shed much blood upon the earth in my sight. 1 Chr. 22:8
He shall build a house unto my name; and he shall be my son, and I will be his father; and I will establish the throne of his kingdom over Israel for ever. 1 Chr. 22:10
Now, my son, Jehovah be with thee, that thou mayest prosper, and build the house of Jehovah thy God, as he has said of thee. 1 Chr. 22:11
Only, Jehovah give thee wisdom and understanding, and place thee over Israel, and to keep the law of Jehovah thy God. 1 Chr. 22:12
Then shalt thou prosper, if thou takest heed to perform the statutes and ordinances which Jehovah commanded Moses for Israel: be strong and courageous; fear not, neither be dismayed. 1 Chr. 22:13
And behold, in my affliction I have prepared for the house of Jehovah a hundred thousand talents of gold, and a thousand thousand talents of silver; and of brass and iron without weight, for it is in abundance; and timber and stone have I prepared; and thou shalt add to it. 1 Chr. 22:14
Of the gold, the silver, and the brass, and the iron, there is no number. Arise and be doing and Jehovah be with thee. 1 Chr. 22:16
And David commanded all the princes of Israel to help Solomon his son, saying, 1 Chr. 22:17
Is not Jehovah your God with you? and has he not given you rest on every side? for he has given the inhabitants of the land into my hand; and the land is subdued before Jehovah, and before his people. 1 Chr. 22:18
Now set your heart and your soul to seek Jehovah your God; and arise and build the sanctuary of Jehovah Elohim, to bring the ark of the covenant of Jehovah, and the vessels of the sanctuary of God into the house that is to be built unto the name of Jehovah. 1 Chr. 22:19
And he gathered together all the princes of Israel, with the priests and the Levites. 1 Chr. 23:2
And the Levites were numbered from thirty years old and upward; and their number, by their polls, man by man, was thirty-eight thousand. 1 Chr. 23:3
Of these, twenty-four thousand were to preside over the work of the house of Jehovah; and six thousand were officers and judges; 1 Chr. 23:4
and four thousand were doorkeepers; and four thousand praised Jehovah with the instruments which I made, said David, to praise therewith. 1 Chr. 23:5
And David divided them into courses according to the sons of Levi: Gershon, Kohath, and Merari. 1 Chr. 23:6
Of the Gershonites: Laadan and Shimei. 1 Chr. 23:7
The sons of Laadan: the head was Jehiel, and Zetham, and Joel, three. 1 Chr. 23:8
The sons of Shimei: Shelomith, and Haziel, and Haran, three. These were the chief fathers of Laadan. 1 Chr. 23:9
And the sons of Shimei: Jahath, Ziza, and Jeush, and Beriah. These were the four sons of Shimei. 1 Chr. 23:10
And Jahath was the head, and Ziza the second; and Jeush and Beriah had not many sons: as father's house, therefore, they were reckoned as one. 1 Chr. 23:11
The sons of Kohath: Amram, Jizhar, Hebron, and Uzziel, four. 1 Chr. 23:12
The sons of Amram: Aaron and Moses. And Aaron was separated, that he should be hallowed as most holy, he and his sons for ever, to offer before Jehovah, to do service to him, and to bless in his name for ever. 1 Chr. 23:13
-- And as to Moses the man of God, his sons were named of the tribe of Levi. 1 Chr. 23:14
The sons of Moses: Gershom and Eliezer. 1 Chr. 23:15
The sons of Gershom: Shebuel the head. 1 Chr. 23:16

The sons of Merari: Mahli and Mushi. The sons of Mahli: Eleazar and Kish. 1 Chr. 23:21
And Eleazar died, and had no sons, but daughters; and their brethren the sons of Kish took them. 1 Chr. 23:22
The sons of Mushi: Mahli, and Eder, and Jeremoth, three. 1 Chr. 23:23
These were the sons of Levi according to their fathers' houses, the chief fathers, as they were reckoned, by number of names by their polls, who did the work of the service of the house of Jehovah, from twenty years old and upward. 1 Chr. 23:24
For David said, Jehovah the God of Israel has given rest to his people, and he will dwell in Jerusalem for ever; 1 Chr. 23:25
and the Levites also have no more to carry the tabernacle, nor any of its vessels for its service. 1 Chr. 23:26
For by the last words of David was this done, -- the numbering of the sons of Levi from twenty years old and upward. 1 Chr. 23:27
For their place was by the side of the sons of Aaron for the service of the house of Jehovah, over the courts, and over the chambers, and over the purifying of all holy things, and for the work of the service of the house of God; 1 Chr. 23:28
and for the loaves to be set in rows, and for the fine flour for the oblation, and for the unleavened cakes, and for what is baked in the pan, and for that which is saturated with oil, and for all measure of capacity and size; 1 Chr. 23:29
and for all burnt-offerings offered up to Jehovah on the sabbaths, on the new moons, and on the set feasts, by number, according to the ordinance concerning them, continually, before Jehovah; 1 Chr. 23:31
and they kept the charge of the tent of meeting, and the charge of the sanctuary, and the charge of the sons of Aaron their brethren, in the service of the house of Jehovah. 1 Chr. 23:32
And the divisions of the sons of Aaron: the sons of Aaron, Nadab and Abihu, Eleazar and Ithamar. 1 Chr. 24:1
And Nadab and Abihu died before their father, and had no children; and Eleazar and Ithamar exercised the priesthood. 1 Chr. 24:2
And David distributed them, both Zadok of the sons of Eleazar, and Ahimelech of the sons of Ithamar, according to their office in their service. 1 Chr. 24:3
And there were more head-men found of the sons of Eleazar than of the sons of Ithamar, and thus were they divided: of the sons of Eleazar there were sixteen heads of fathers' houses, and eight of the sons of Ithamar according to their fathers' houses. 1 Chr. 24:4
And they were divided by lot, one with another; for the princes of the sanctuary and the princes of God were of the sons of Eleazar and of the sons of Ithamar. 1 Chr. 24:5
And Shemaiah the son of Nethaneel the scribe, one of the Levites, inscribed them before the king, and the princes, and Zadok the priest, and Ahimelech the son of Abiathar, and the chief fathers of the priests and Levites: one father's house was drawn for Eleazar, and one drawn for Ithamar. 1 Chr. 24:6

the seventeenth for Hezir, the eighteenth for Happizez, 1 Chr. 24:15
the nineteenth for Pethahiah, the twentieth for Ezekiel, 1 Chr. 24:16
the twenty-first for Jachin, the twenty-second for Gamul, 1 Chr. 24:17
the twenty-third for Delaiah, the twenty-fourth for Maaziah. 1 Chr. 24:18
This is their ordering in their service to come into the house of Jehovah, according to their ordinance, through Aaron their father, as Jehovah the God of Israel had commanded him. 1 Chr. 24:19
And as for the rest of the sons of Levi: of the sons of Amram, Shubael; of the sons of Shubael, Jehdeiah. 1 Chr. 24:20
Of Rehabiah, of the sons of Rehabiah, the head was Jishijah. 1 Chr. 24:21

Of Kish, the sons of Kish: Jerahmeel. 1 Chr. 24:29
And the sons of Mushi: Mahli, and Eder, and Jerimoth. These were the sons of the Levites according to their fathers' houses. 1 Chr. 24:30
These likewise cast lots just as their brethren the sons of Aaron before David the king, and Zadok, and Ahimelech, and the chief fathers of the priests and Levites, -- the chief fathers just as the youngest of their brethren. 1 Chr. 24:31
And David and the captains of the host separated for the service those of the sons of Asaph and of Heman and of Jeduthun who were to prophesy with harps and lutes and cymbals; and the number of the men employed according to their service was: 1 Chr. 25:1
of the sons of Asaph: Zaccur, and Joseph, and Nethaniah, and Asharelah, the sons of Asaph under the direction of Asaph, who prophesied at the direction of the king. 1 Chr. 25:2

all these were sons of Heman the king's seer in the words of God, to exalt his power; and God had given to Heman fourteen sons and three daughters. 1 Chr. 25:5
All these were under the direction of their fathers Asaph, Jeduthun, and Heman, for song in the house of Jehovah, with cymbals, lutes and harps, for the service of the house of God, under the direction of the king. 1 Chr. 25:6
And the number of them, with their brethren that were instructed in the songs of Jehovah, all of them skilful, was two hundred and eighty-eight. 1 Chr. 25:7
And they cast lots with one another over the charges, the small as well as the great, the teacher with the scholar. 1 Chr. 25:8

And over the king's treasures was Azmaveth the son of Adiel; and over the storehouses in the country, in the cities, and in the villages, and in the towers was Jonathan the son of Uzziah. 1 Chr. 27:25
And over them that worked in the field for tillage of the ground was Ezri the son of Chelub. 1 Chr. 27:26
And over the vineyards was Shimei the Ramathite; and over what was in the vineyards of stores of wine was Zabdi the Shiphmite: 1 Chr. 27:27
and over the olive-trees and the sycamore-trees that were in the lowland was Baal-hanan the Gederite; and over the cellars of oil was Joash. 1 Chr. 27:28
And over the herds that fed in Sharon was Shitrai the Sharonite; and over the herds in the valleys was Shaphat the son of Adlai. 1 Chr. 27:29
And over the camels was Obil the Ishmaelite; and over the asses was Jehdiah the Meronothite. 1 Chr. 27:30
And over the flocks was Jaziz the Hagarite. All these were comptrollers of the substance which was king David's. 1 Chr. 27:31
And Jonathan, David's uncle, was counsellor, a wise man, and a scribe; and Jehiel the son of Hachmoni was with the king's sons; 1 Chr. 27:32
and Ahithophel was the king's counsellor; and Hushai the Archite was the king's friend; 1 Chr. 27:33
and after Ahithophel was Jehoiada the son of Benaiah, and Abiathar; and Joab was captain of the king's army. 1 Chr. 27:34
And David assembled all the princes of Israel, the princes of the tribes, and the princes of the divisions that ministered to the king, and the captains over thousands, and the captains over hundreds, and the comptrollers of all the substance and possessions of the king and of his sons, with the chamberlains, and the mighty men, and all the men of valour, unto Jerusalem. 1 Chr. 28:1
And king David stood up upon his feet, and said, Hear me, my brethren and my people! I had in my heart to build a house of rest for the ark of the covenant of Jehovah and for the footstool of our God, and I have prepared to build. 1 Chr. 28:2
And Jehovah the God of Israel chose me out of all the house of my father to be king over Israel for ever; for he has chosen Judah to be the prince; and of the house of Judah, the house of my father; and among the sons of my father he took pleasure in me to make me king over all Israel; 1 Chr. 28:4
and of all my sons, (for Jehovah has given me many sons,) he has chosen Solomon my son to sit upon the throne of the kingdom of Jehovah over Israel. 1 Chr. 28:5
And now in the sight of all Israel, the congregation of Jehovah, and in the audience of our God, -- keep and seek for all the commandments of Jehovah your God; that ye may possess the good land, and leave it as an inheritance to your children after you for ever. 1 Chr. 28:8
And thou, Solomon my son, know the God of thy father, and serve him with a perfect heart and with a willing mind; for Jehovah searches all hearts, and discerns all the imaginations of the thoughts. If thou seek him, he will be found of thee; but if thou forsake him, he will cut thee off for ever. 1 Chr. 28:9
Consider now, that Jehovah has chosen thee to build a house for the sanctuary: be strong, and do it. 1 Chr. 28:10
And David gave to Solomon his son the pattern of the porch, and of its houses, and of its treasuries, and of its upper chambers, and of its inner chambers, and of the house of the mercy-seat; 1 Chr. 28:11
and the pattern of all that he had by the Spirit, of the courts of the house of Jehovah, and of all the chambers round about, for the treasuries of the house of God, and for the treasuries of the dedicated things; 1 Chr. 28:12
and for the courses of the priests and the Levites, and for all the work of the service of the house of Jehovah, and for all the instruments of service in the house of Jehovah: 1 Chr. 28:13
and the weight of the golden candlesticks, and of their golden lamps, by weight for every candlestick, and for its lamps; and for the silver candlesticks, by weight, for the candlestick and for its lamps, according to the use of every candlestick; 1 Chr. 28:15
and gold by weight for the tables of the loaves to be set in rows, for every table; and silver for the tables of silver; 1 Chr. 28:16
and pure gold for the forks, and the bowls, and the goblets; and for the golden basons by weight for every bason; and for the silver basons by weight for every bason; 1 Chr. 28:17
and for the altar of incense, refined gold by weight; and the pattern of the chariot of the cherubim of gold, which spread out their wings and cover the ark of the covenant of Jehovah. 1 Chr. 28:18
All this said David, in writing, by Jehovah's hand upon me, instructing as to all the works of the pattern. 1 Chr. 28:19
And David said to Solomon his son, Be strong and courageous, and do it; fear not nor be dismayed: for Jehovah Elohim, my God, will be with thee; he will not leave thee, neither forsake thee, until all the work for the service of the house of Jehovah is finished. 1 Chr. 28:20
And behold, the courses of the priests and the Levites are for all the service of the house of God; and thou hast with thee for all manner of workmanship every willing man, skilful for every sort of service; and the princes and all the people are wholly at thy commandment. 1 Chr. 28:21
And king David said to all the congregation, Solomon my son, the one whom God has chosen, is young and tender, and the work is great; for this palace is not to be for man, but for Jehovah Elohim. 1 Chr. 29:1
And I have prepared according to all my power for the house of my God gold for things of gold, and silver for things of silver, and brass for things of brass, iron for things of iron, and wood for things of wood; onyx stones, and stones to be set, glistering stones, and of divers colours, and all manner of precious stones, and white marble in abundance. 1 Chr. 29:2
And moreover, in my affection for the house of my God I have given of my own property of gold and silver, for the house of my God, over and above all that I have prepared for the house of the sanctuary: 1 Chr. 29:3
three thousand talents of gold, of the gold of Ophir, and seven thousand talents of refined silver, to overlay the walls of the houses; 1 Chr. 29:4
gold for things of gold, and silver for things of silver, and for all manner of work by the hands of artificers. And who is willing to offer to Jehovah this day? 1 Chr. 29:5
And the chief fathers and princes of the tribes of Israel, and the captains of thousands and of hundreds, and the comptrollers of the king's business, offered willingly. 1 Chr. 29:6
And they gave for the service of the house of God five thousand talents and ten thousand darics of gold, and ten thousand talents of silver, and eighteen thousand talents of brass, and one hundred thousand talents of iron. 1 Chr. 29:7
And they with whom stones were found gave them to the treasure of the house of Jehovah, into the hand of Jehiel the Gershonite. 1 Chr. 29:8
And the people rejoiced because they offered willingly, for with perfect heart they offered willingly to Jehovah; and David the king also rejoiced with great joy. 1 Chr. 29:9
And David blessed Jehovah in the sight of all the congregation; and David said, Blessed be thou, Jehovah, the God of our father Israel, for ever and ever. 1 Chr. 29:10
Thine, Jehovah, is the greatness, and the power, and the glory, and the splendour, and the majesty; for all that is in the heavens and on the earth is thine: thine, Jehovah, is the kingdom, and thou art exalted as Head above all; 1 Chr. 29:11
For we are strangers before thee, and sojourners, as all our fathers: our days on the earth are as a shadow, and there is no hope of life. 1 Chr. 29:15
And I know, my God, that thou triest the heart, and hast pleasure in uprightness. In the uprightness of my heart have I willingly offered all these things; and now have I seen with joy thy people, which are present here, offer willingly to thee. 1 Chr. 29:17
Jehovah, God of Abraham, of Isaac, and of Israel, our fathers, keep this for ever in the imagination of the thoughts of the heart of thy people, and direct their hearts to thee! 1 Chr. 29:18
And give to Solomon my son a perfect heart, to keep thy commandments, thy testimonies, and thy statutes, and to do all, and to build the palace, for which I have made provision. 1 Chr. 29:19
And David said to all the congregation, Bless now Jehovah your God. And all the congregation blessed Jehovah the God of their fathers, and bowed down their heads, and did homage to Jehovah and the king. 1 Chr. 29:20
And they sacrificed sacrifices to Jehovah, and offered up burnt-offerings to Jehovah, on the morrow after that day: a thousand bullocks, a thousand rams, a thousand lambs, with their drink-offerings, and sacrifices in abundance for all Israel. 1 Chr. 29:21
And they ate and drank before Jehovah on that day with great joy. And they made Solomon the son of David king the second time, and anointed him to Jehovah to be prince, and Zadok to be priest. 1 Chr. 29:22
And Solomon sat on the throne of Jehovah as king instead of David his father, and prospered; and all Israel obeyed him. 1 Chr. 29:23
And all the princes, and the mighty men, and all the sons likewise of king David, submitted themselves to Solomon the king. 1 Chr. 29:24
And Jehovah magnified Solomon exceedingly in the sight of all Israel, and bestowed upon him royal majesty such as had not been on any king before him in Israel. 1 Chr. 29:25
Now David the son of Jesse reigned over all Israel. 1 Chr. 29:26
And the time that he reigned over Israel was forty years: he reigned seven years in Hebron, and he reigned thirty-three years in Jerusalem. 1 Chr. 29:27
And the acts of David the king, first and last, behold, they are written in the book of Samuel the seer, and in the book of Nathan the prophet, and in the book of Gad the seer; 1 Chr. 29:29
with all his reign and his might, and the times that passed over him, and over Israel, and over all the kingdoms of the countries. 1 Chr. 29:30
And Solomon the son of David was strengthened in his kingdom, and Jehovah his God was with him and magnified him exceedingly. 2 Chr. 1:1
And Solomon spoke to all Israel, to the captains of thousands and of hundreds, and to the judges, and to all the princes of all Israel, the chief fathers; 2 Chr. 1:2
and Solomon, and all the congregation with him, went to the high place at Gibeon; for there was God's tent of meeting which Moses the servant of Jehovah had made in the wilderness. 2 Chr. 1:3
But the ark of God had David brought up from Kirjath-jearim to the place that David had prepared for it; for he had spread a tent for it at Jerusalem. 2 Chr. 1:4
And the brazen altar that Bezaleel the son of Uri, the son of Hur, had made, was there before the tabernacle of Jehovah; and Solomon and the congregation sought unto it. 2 Chr. 1:5
And Solomon offered there upon the brazen altar before Jehovah which was at the tent of meeting; and he offered up a thousand burnt-offerings upon it. 2 Chr. 1:6
Now, Jehovah Elohim, let thy word unto David my father be firm; for thou hast made me king over a people numerous as the dust of the earth. 2 Chr. 1:9
And God said to Solomon, Because this was in thy heart, and thou hast not asked riches, wealth, or honour, nor the life of them that hate thee, neither yet hast asked long life; but hast asked for thyself wisdom and knowledge, that thou mayest judge my people, over whom I have made thee king: 2 Chr. 1:11
wisdom and knowledge are granted unto thee; and I will give thee riches and wealth and honour, such as none of the kings have had that have been before thee, neither shall any after thee have the like. 2 Chr. 1:12
Then Solomon came back from the high place at Gibeon to Jerusalem, from before the tent of meeting, and reigned over Israel. 2 Chr. 1:13
And Solomon gathered chariots and horsemen; and he had a thousand four hundred chariots and twelve thousand horsemen; and he placed them in the chariot-cities, and with the king at Jerusalem. 2 Chr. 1:14
And the king made silver and gold in Jerusalem as stones, and cedars made he as the sycamores that are in the lowland for abundance. 2 Chr. 1:15
And the exportation of horses that Solomon had was from Egypt: a caravan of the king's merchants fetched a drove of horses, at a price. 2 Chr. 1:16
And they fetched up and brought forth out of Egypt a chariot for six hundred shekels of silver, and a horse for a hundred and fifty; and so they brought them by their means, for all the kings of the Hittites and for the kings of Syria. 2 Chr. 1:17
And Solomon purposed to build a house for the name of Jehovah, and a house for his kingdom. 2 Chr. 2:1
And Solomon numbered seventy thousand men to bear burdens, and eighty thousand stone-masons in the mountain, and three thousand six hundred to superintend them. 2 Chr. 2:2
Behold, I build a house unto the name of Jehovah my God to dedicate it to him, to burn before him sweet incense, and for the continual arrangement of the shewbread, and for the morning and evening burnt-offerings and on the sabbaths and on the new moons, and on the set feasts of Jehovah our God. This is an ordinance for ever to Israel. 2 Chr. 2:4
And the house that I will build is great; for great is our God above all gods. 2 Chr. 2:5
But who is able to build him a house, seeing the heavens and the heaven of heavens cannot contain him? And who am I that I should build him a house, except to burn sacrifice before him? 2 Chr. 2:6
And now send me a man skilful to work in gold, and in silver, and in bronze, and in iron, and in purple and crimson and blue, and experienced in carving, besides the skilful men that are with me in Judah and in Jerusalem, whom David my father provided. 2 Chr. 2:7
even to prepare me timber in abundance: for the house that I build shall be great and wonderful. 2 Chr. 2:9
And behold, I will give to thy servants the hewers that fell timber, twenty thousand measures of beaten wheat, and twenty thousand measures of barley, and twenty thousand baths of wine, and twenty thousand baths of oil. 2 Chr. 2:10
And Huram said, Blessed be Jehovah the God of Israel, that made the heavens and the earth, who has given to David the king a wise son, endued with prudence and understanding, who will build a house for Jehovah and a house for his kingdom. 2 Chr. 2:12
the son of a woman of the daughters of Dan, and whose father was a man of Tyre, experienced in working in gold, and in silver, in bronze, in iron, in stone, and in timber, in purple, in blue, and in byssus, and in crimson, and for doing any manner of engraving, and for inventing every device which shall be put to him, besides thy skilful men, and the skilful men of my lord David thy father. 2 Chr. 2:14
And now the wheat and the barley, the oil and the wine, which my lord hath spoken of, let him send unto his servants. 2 Chr. 2:15
And Solomon numbered all the strangers that were in the land of Israel, after the account that David his father had taken of them, and there were found a hundred and fifty-three thousand six hundred. 2 Chr. 2:17
And he set seventy thousand of them to be bearers of burdens, and eighty thousand to be stone-masons in the mountains, and three thousand six hundred overseers to set the people to work. 2 Chr. 2:18
And Solomon began to build the house of Jehovah at Jerusalem on mount Moriah, where he appeared to David his father, in the place that David had prepared in the threshing-floor of Ornan the Jebusite. 2 Chr. 3:1
And he began to build on the second of the second month, in the fourth year of his reign. 2 Chr. 3:2
And this was Solomon's foundation for the construction of the house of God. The length by cubits after the first measure was sixty cubits, and the breadth twenty cubits. 2 Chr. 3:3
And the porch which was in front was twenty cubits in length, in front of the house broadways, and the height was a hundred and twenty; and he overlaid it within with pure gold. 2 Chr. 3:4
And the greater house he boarded with cypress-wood, which he overlaid with fine gold, and set on it palm-trees and chains. 2 Chr. 3:5
And he overlaid the house with precious stones for beauty; and the gold was gold of Parvaim. 2 Chr. 3:6
And he covered the house, the beams, the threshold, and its walls, and its doors with gold, and engraved cherubim on the walls. 2 Chr. 3:7
And he made the house of the most holy place, the length of which was according to the breadth of the house, twenty cubits, and its breadth twenty cubits; and he covered it with fine gold, amounting to six hundred talents. 2 Chr. 3:8
And the weight of the nails was fifty shekels of gold. And he covered the upper chambers with gold. 2 Chr. 3:9
And in the house of the most holy place he made two cherubim of image work, and they overlaid them with gold. 2 Chr. 3:10
And the wings of the cherubim were twenty cubits long: one wing of five cubits touched the wall of the house; and the other wing of five cubits touched the wing of the other cherub. 2 Chr. 3:11
And the wing of the other cherub of five cubits touched the wall of the house; and the other wing was five cubits joining the wing of the other cherub. 2 Chr. 3:12
The wings of these cherubim spread forth were twenty cubits; and they stood on their feet, and their faces were toward the house. 2 Chr. 3:13
And he made the veil of blue, and purple, and crimson, and byssus, and made cherubim upon it. 2 Chr. 3:14
And before the house he made two pillars thirty-five cubits long; and the capital that was on the top of each of them was five cubits. 2 Chr. 3:15
And he made chains as in the oracle, and he put them on the top of the pillars; and he made a hundred pomegranates, and put them on the chains. 2 Chr. 3:16
And he set up the pillars in front of the temple, one on the right hand and the other on the left; and he called the name of that on the right Jachin, and the name of that on the left Boaz. 2 Chr. 3:17
And he made the sea, molten, ten cubits from brim to brim, round all about; and its height was five cubits; and a line of thirty cubits encompassed it round about. 2 Chr. 4:2
And under it was the similitude of oxen, encompassing it round about, ten in a cubit enclosing the sea round about, two rows of oxen, cast when it was cast. 2 Chr. 4:3
It stood upon twelve oxen, three looking toward the north, and three looking toward the west, and three looking toward the south, and three looking toward the east; and the sea was above upon them, and all their hinder parts were inward. 2 Chr. 4:4
And its thickness was a hand-breadth, and its brim like the work of the brim of a cup, with lily-blossoms; in capacity it held three thousand baths. 2 Chr. 4:5
And he made ten lavers, and put five on the right and five on the left, to wash in them: they rinsed in them what they prepared for the burnt-offering; and the sea was for the priests to wash in. 2 Chr. 4:6
And he made ten candlesticks of gold according to the ordinance respecting them, and set them in the temple, five on the right hand and five on the left. 2 Chr. 4:7
And he made ten tables, and placed them in the temple, five on the right hand and five on the left. And he made a hundred golden bowls. 2 Chr. 4:8
And he made the court of the priests, and the great court, and doors for the court, and overlaid the doors thereof with bronze. 2 Chr. 4:9
And he set the sea on the right side eastward, over against the south. 2 Chr. 4:10
And Huram made the pots and the shovels and the bowls. So Huram ended doing the work that he made for king Solomon in the house of God: 2 Chr. 4:11
two pillars, and the globes and the capitals on the top of the pillars, two; and the two networks, to cover the two globes of the capitals which were on the top of the pillars; 2 Chr. 4:12
and the four hundred pomegranates for the two networks, two rows of pomegranates for one network, to cover the two globes of the capitals which were upon the pillars. 2 Chr. 4:13
And he made the bases, and he made the lavers on the bases; 2 Chr. 4:14
one sea, and the twelve oxen under it. 2 Chr. 4:15
And the pots, and the shovels, and the forks, and all their instruments did Huram Abiv make king Solomon for the house of Jehovah, of bright brass. 2 Chr. 4:16
In the plain of the Jordan did the king cast them, in the clay-ground between Succoth and Zeredathah. 2 Chr. 4:17
And Solomon made all these vessels in great number; for the weight of the brass was not ascertained. 2 Chr. 4:18
And Solomon made all the vessels that were in the house of God: the golden altar; and the tables whereon was the shewbread; 2 Chr. 4:19
and the candlesticks with their lamps to burn according to the ordinance before the oracle, of pure gold; 2 Chr. 4:20
and the flowers, and the lamps, and the tongs, of gold (it was perfect gold); 2 Chr. 4:21
and the knives, and the bowls, and the cups, and the censers, of pure gold; and the entrance of the house, the inner folding-doors thereof for the most holy place, and the doors of the house, of the temple, of gold. 2 Chr. 4:22
And all the work was finished that Solomon made for the house of Jehovah. And Solomon brought in the things that David his father had dedicated; and the silver, and the gold, and all the vessels he put among the treasures of the house of God. 2 Chr. 5:1
Then Solomon assembled the elders of Israel, and all the heads of the tribes, the princes of the fathers of the children of Israel, to Jerusalem, to bring up the ark of the covenant of Jehovah out of the city of David, which is Zion. 2 Chr. 5:2
And all the men of Israel assembled themselves to the king at the feast, that of the seventh month. 2 Chr. 5:3
And all the elders of Israel came; and the Levites took up the ark. 2 Chr. 5:4
And they brought up the ark, and the tent of meeting, and all the holy vessels that were in the tent: the priests, the Levites, brought them up. 2 Chr. 5:5
And king Solomon, and all the assembly of Israel, that were assembled to him before the ark, sacrificed sheep and oxen which could not be counted nor numbered for multitude. 2 Chr. 5:6
And the priests brought in the ark of the covenant of Jehovah to its place, into the oracle of the house, into the most holy place, under the wings of the cherubim; 2 Chr. 5:7
and the cherubim stretched forth their wings over the place of the ark, and the cherubim covered the ark and its staves above. 2 Chr. 5:8
And the staves were long, so that the ends of the staves were seen outside the ark before the oracle; but they were not seen without. And there they are to this day. 2 Chr. 5:9
There was nothing in the ark save the two tables which Moses put there at Horeb, when Jehovah made a covenant with the children of Israel, when they came out of Egypt. 2 Chr. 5:10
And it came to pass when the priests were come out of the holy place (for all the priests that were present were hallowed without observing the courses; 2 Chr. 5:11
and the Levites the singers, all they of Asaph, of Heman, of Jeduthun, with their sons and their brethren, clad in byssus, with cymbals and lutes and harps, stood at the east end of the altar, and with them a hundred and twenty priests sounding with trumpets), 2 Chr. 5:12
-- it came to pass when the trumpeters and singers were as one, to make one voice to be heard in praising and thanking Jehovah; and when they lifted up their voice with trumpets, and cymbals, and instruments of music, and praised Jehovah: For he is good, for his loving-kindness endureth for ever; that then the house, the house of Jehovah, was filled with a cloud, 2 Chr. 5:13
and the priests could not stand to do their service because of the cloud; for the glory of Jehovah had filled the house of God. 2 Chr. 5:14
Then said Solomon: Jehovah said that he would dwell in the thick darkness. 2 Chr. 6:1
And the king turned his face and blessed the whole congregation of Israel; and the whole congregation of Israel stood. 2 Chr. 6:3
And he said: Blessed be Jehovah the God of Israel, who spoke with his mouth unto David my father, and hath with his hands fulfilled it, saying, 2 Chr. 6:4
Since the day that I brought forth my people out of the land of Egypt I chose no city out of all the tribes of Israel to build a house in, that my name might be there; neither chose I any man to be prince over my people Israel: 2 Chr. 6:5
And it was in the heart of David my father to build a house unto the name of Jehovah the God of Israel. 2 Chr. 6:7
nevertheless thou shalt not build the house; but thy son that shall come forth out of thy loins, he shall build the house unto my name. 2 Chr. 6:9
And Jehovah has performed his word which he spoke; and I am risen up in the room of David my father, and sit on the throne of Israel, as Jehovah promised, and I have built the house unto the name of Jehovah the God of Israel. 2 Chr. 6:10
And in it have I put the ark, wherein is the covenant of Jehovah, which he made with the children of Israel. 2 Chr. 6:11
And he stood before the altar of Jehovah in the presence of the whole congregation of Israel, and spread forth his hands. 2 Chr. 6:12
For Solomon had made a platform of bronze, five cubits long, and five cubits broad, and three cubits high, and had set it in the midst of the court; and upon it he stood, and he kneeled down on his knees before the whole congregation of Israel, and spread forth his hands toward the heavens, 2 Chr. 6:13
and said, Jehovah, God of Israel! there is no God like thee, in the heavens or on the earth, who keepest covenant and mercy with thy servants that walk before thee with all their heart; 2 Chr. 6:14
And now, Jehovah, God of Israel, keep with thy servant David my father that which thou hast promised him saying, There shall not fail thee a man in my sight to sit on the throne of Israel, if only thy sons take heed to their way to walk in my law, as thou hast walked before me. 2 Chr. 6:16
But will God indeed dwell with man on the earth? behold, the heavens and the heaven of heavens cannot contain thee; how much less this house which I have built! 2 Chr. 6:18
Yet have respect unto the prayer of thy servant, and to his supplication, Jehovah, my God, to hearken unto the cry and to the prayer which thy servant prayeth before thee; 2 Chr. 6:19
that thine eyes may be open upon this house day and night, upon the place in which thou hast said thou wouldest put thy name: to hearken unto the prayer which thy servant prayeth toward this place. 2 Chr. 6:20
And hearken unto the supplications of thy servant, and of thy people Israel, which they shall pray toward this place, and hear thou from thy dwelling-place, from the heavens, and when thou hearest, forgive. 2 Chr. 6:21
If a man have sinned against his neighbour, and an oath be laid upon him to adjure him, and the oath come before thine altar in this house; 2 Chr. 6:22
then hear thou from the heavens, and do, and judge thy servants, requiting the wicked, to bring his way upon his own head; and justifying the righteous, giving him according to his righteousness. 2 Chr. 6:23
And if thy people Israel be put to the worse before the enemy, because they have sinned against thee, and shall turn again and confess thy name, and pray, and make supplication before thee in this house; 2 Chr. 6:24
then hear thou from the heavens, and forgive the sin of thy people Israel, and bring them again unto the land that thou gavest to them and to their fathers. 2 Chr. 6:25
When the heavens are shut up, and there is no rain, because they have sinned against thee; if they pray toward this place, and confess thy name, and turn from their sin, because thou hast afflicted them; 2 Chr. 6:26
then hear thou in the heavens, and forgive the sin of thy servants, and of thy people Israel, when thou teachest them the good way wherein they should walk; and give rain upon thy land, which thou hast given to thy people for an inheritance. 2 Chr. 6:27
If there be famine in the land, if there be pestilence, if there be blight or mildew, locust or caterpillar; if their enemies besiege them in the land of their gates; whatever plague or whatever sickness there be: 2 Chr. 6:28
then hear thou from the heavens, the settled place of thy dwelling, and forgive, and render unto every man according to all his ways, whose heart thou knowest (for thou, thou only, knowest the hearts of the children of men), 2 Chr. 6:30
that they may fear thee, to walk in thy ways, all the days that they live upon the land which thou gavest unto our fathers. 2 Chr. 6:31
And as to the stranger also, who is not of thy people Israel, but cometh out of a far country for thy great name's sake, and thy mighty hand and thy stretched-out arm; when they shall come and pray toward this house, 2 Chr. 6:32
then hear thou from the heavens, the settled place of thy dwelling, and do according to all that the stranger calleth to thee for; in order that all peoples of the earth may know thy name, and may fear thee as do thy people Israel, and may know that this house which I have built is called by thy name. 2 Chr. 6:33
If thy people go out to battle against their enemies by the way that thou shalt send them, and they pray unto thee toward this city that thou hast chosen, and the house that I have built unto thy name; 2 Chr. 6:34
then hear thou from the heavens their prayer and their supplication, and maintain their right. 2 Chr. 6:35
If they have sinned against thee (for there is no man that sinneth not), and thou be angry with them, and give them up to the enemy, and they have carried them away captives unto a land far off or near; 2 Chr. 6:36
and if they shall take it to heart in the land whither they were carried captive, and repent, and make supplication unto thee in the land of their captivity, saying, We have sinned, we have done iniquity and have dealt perversely; 2 Chr. 6:37
and if they return unto thee with all their heart and with all their soul in the land of their captivity, whither they have carried them captives, and pray toward their land which thou gavest unto their fathers, and the city that thou hast chosen, and the house that I have built unto thy name; 2 Chr. 6:38
then hear thou from the heavens, from the settled place of thy dwelling, their prayer and their supplications, and maintain their right, and forgive thy people their sin against thee. 2 Chr. 6:39
Now, my God, I beseech thee, let thine eyes be open and let thine ears be attentive unto the prayer that is made in this place. 2 Chr. 6:40
And now, arise, Jehovah Elohim, into thy resting-place, thou and the ark of thy strength: let thy priests, Jehovah Elohim, be clothed with salvation, and let thy saints rejoice in thy goodness. 2 Chr. 6:41
Jehovah Elohim, turn not away the face of thine anointed: remember mercies to David thy servant. 2 Chr. 6:42
And when Solomon had ended praying, the fire came down from the heavens and consumed the burnt-offering and the sacrifices; and the glory of Jehovah filled the house. 2 Chr. 7:1
And the priests could not enter into the house of Jehovah, because the glory of Jehovah filled Jehovah's house. 2 Chr. 7:2
And all the children of Israel saw how the fire came down, and the glory of Jehovah upon the house, and bowed themselves with their faces to the ground on the pavement, and worshipped and thanked Jehovah: For he is good, for his loving-kindness endureth for ever. 2 Chr. 7:3
And the king and all the people offered sacrifices before Jehovah. 2 Chr. 7:4
And king Solomon sacrificed a sacrifice of twenty-two thousand oxen, and a hundred and twenty thousand sheep. So the king and all the people dedicated the house of God. 2 Chr. 7:5
And the priests stood in their charges, and the Levites with Jehovah's instruments of music, which David the king had made to praise Jehovah, for his loving-kindness endureth for ever, when David praised by their means; and the priests sounded the trumpets opposite to them, and all Israel stood. 2 Chr. 7:6
And Solomon hallowed the middle of the court that was before the house of Jehovah; for there he offered the burnt-offerings, and the fat of the peace-offerings, because the brazen altar which Solomon had made was not able to receive the burnt-offerings and the oblations and the fat. 2 Chr. 7:7
And at that time Solomon held the feast seven days, and all Israel with him, a very great congregation, from the entrance of Hamath unto the torrent of Egypt. 2 Chr. 7:8
And on the eighth day they held a solemn assembly; for they kept the dedication of the altar seven days, and the feast seven days. 2 Chr. 7:9
And on the three and twentieth day of the seventh month he sent the people away to their tents, joyful and glad of heart for the goodness that Jehovah had done to David and to Solomon, and to Israel his people. 2 Chr. 7:10
And Solomon completed the house of Jehovah, and the king's house; and all that came into Solomon's heart to make in the house of Jehovah, and in his own house, he did prosperously. 2 Chr. 7:11
If I shut up the heavens that there be no rain, or if I command the locust to devour the land, or if I send pestilence among my people; 2 Chr. 7:13
and my people, who are called by my name, humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from the heavens, and forgive their sin, and heal their land. 2 Chr. 7:14
Now mine eyes shall be open, and mine ears attentive to the prayer made in this place; 2 Chr. 7:15
then will I establish the throne of thy kingdom, according as I have covenanted with David thy father, saying, There shall not fail thee a man to rule over Israel. 2 Chr. 7:18
then will I pluck them up by the roots out of my land which I have given them; and this house, which I have hallowed to my name, will I cast out of my sight, and will make it a proverb and a byword among all peoples. 2 Chr. 7:20
And they shall say, Because they forsook Jehovah the God of their fathers, who brought them forth out of the land of Egypt, and have attached themselves to other gods, and have worshipped them and served them; therefore he has brought upon them all this evil. 2 Chr. 7:22
And it came to pass at the end of twenty years, when Solomon had built the house of Jehovah and his own house, 2 Chr. 8:1
that the cities which Huram had given to Solomon, Solomon built them and caused the children of Israel to dwell there. 2 Chr. 8:2
And he built Tadmor, in the wilderness, and all the store-cities, which he built in Hamath. 2 Chr. 8:4
and Baalath, and all the store-cities that Solomon had, and all the cities for chariots, and the cities for the horsemen, and all that Solomon desired to build in Jerusalem, and on Lebanon, and in all the land of his dominion. 2 Chr. 8:6
All the people that were left of the Hittites, and the Amorites, and the Perizzites, and the Hivites, and the Jebusites, who were not of Israel, 2 Chr. 8:7
their children that were left after them in the land, whom the children of Israel had not destroyed, upon them did Solomon impose tribute-service until this day. 2 Chr. 8:8
But of the children of Israel, of them did Solomon make no bondmen for his work; but they were men of war, and chief of his captains, and captains of his chariots and his horsemen. 2 Chr. 8:9
And these were the chief of king Solomon's superintendents, two hundred and fifty, that ruled over the people. 2 Chr. 8:10
And Solomon brought up the daughter of Pharaoh out of the city of David to the house which he had built for her; for he said, My wife shall not dwell in the house of David king of Israel, because the places are holy to which the ark of Jehovah has come. 2 Chr. 8:11
Then Solomon offered up burnt-offerings to Jehovah on the altar of Jehovah, which he had built before the porch; 2 Chr. 8:12
even as the duty of every day required, offering according to the commandment of Moses, on the sabbaths, and on the new moons, and at the set feasts, three times in the year, -- at the feast of unleavened bread, and at the feast of weeks, and at the feast of tabernacles. 2 Chr. 8:13
And he appointed, according to the ordinance of David his father, the divisions of the priests for their service, and the Levites for their charges, to praise and serve before the priests, as the duty of every day required; and the doorkeepers by their divisions at every gate: for such was the commandment of David the man of God; 2 Chr. 8:14
and they did not depart from the commandment of the king to the priests and the Levites concerning any matter, nor concerning the treasures. 2 Chr. 8:15
And all the work of Solomon was prepared, to the day of the foundation of the house of Jehovah and to its completion. So the house of Jehovah was finished. 2 Chr. 8:16
Then went Solomon to Ezion-geber, and to Eloth, on the seashore in the land of Edom. 2 Chr. 8:17
And Huram sent him by his servants ships, and servants that had knowledge of the sea; and they went with the servants of Solomon to Ophir, and fetched thence four hundred and fifty talents of gold, and brought them to king Solomon. 2 Chr. 8:18
And the queen of Sheba heard of the fame of Solomon, and came to Jerusalem to prove Solomon with enigmas; with a very great train, and camels that bore spices and gold in great abundance, and precious stones; and she came to Solomon, and spoke with him of all that was in her heart. 2 Chr. 9:1
And when the queen of Sheba saw the wisdom of Solomon, and the house that he had built, 2 Chr. 9:3
and the food of his table, and the deportment of his servants, and the order of service of his attendants and their apparel, and his cupbearers and their apparel, and his ascent by which he went up to the house of Jehovah, there was no more spirit in her. 2 Chr. 9:4
And she said to the king, It was a true report that I heard in mine own land of thine affairs and of thy wisdom; 2 Chr. 9:5
but I gave no credit to their words, until I came and mine eyes had seen; and behold, the half of the greatness of thy wisdom was not told me: thou exceedest the report that I heard. 2 Chr. 9:6
And she gave the king a hundred and twenty talents of gold, and spices in very great abundance, and precious stones; neither was there any such spice as that which the queen of Sheba gave to king Solomon. 2 Chr. 9:9
(And the servants also of Huram, and the servants of Solomon, who brought gold from Ophir, brought sandal-wood and precious stones. 2 Chr. 9:10
And the king made of the sandal-wood stairs for the house of Jehovah, and for the king's house, and harps and lutes for the singers. And there were none such seen before in the land of Judah.) 2 Chr. 9:11
And king Solomon gave to the queen of Sheba all her desire, whatever she asked, besides what she had brought to the king. And she turned and went to her own land, she and her servants. 2 Chr. 9:12
And the weight of gold that came to Solomon in one year was six hundred and sixty-six talents of gold, 2 Chr. 9:13
besides what dealers and merchants brought, and what all the kings of Arabia and the governors of the country brought of gold and silver to Solomon. 2 Chr. 9:14
and three hundred shields of beaten gold, -- he applied three hundred shekels of gold to one shield; and the king put them in the house of the forest of Lebanon. 2 Chr. 9:16
And the king made a great throne of ivory, and overlaid it with pure gold; 2 Chr. 9:17
and the throne had six steps, with a footstool of gold fastened to the throne; and there were arms on each side at the place of the seat, and two lions stood beside the arms; 2 Chr. 9:18
and twelve lions stood there on the one side and on the other upon the six steps: there was not the like made in any kingdom. 2 Chr. 9:19
And all king Solomon's drinking vessels were of gold, and all the vessels of the house of the forest of Lebanon were of precious gold: silver was not of the least account in the days of Solomon. 2 Chr. 9:20
For the king's ships went to Tarshish with the servants of Huram: once in three years came the ships of Tarshish, bringing gold and silver, ivory, and apes, and peacocks. 2 Chr. 9:21
And king Solomon was greater than all the kings of the earth in riches and wisdom. 2 Chr. 9:22
And all the kings of the earth sought the presence of Solomon, to hear his wisdom, which God had put in his heart. 2 Chr. 9:23
And Solomon had four thousand stalls for horses and chariots, and twelve thousand horsemen; and he placed them in the chariot-cities, and with the king at Jerusalem. 2 Chr. 9:25
And he ruled over all the kings from the river as far as the land of the Philistines, and up to the border of Egypt. 2 Chr. 9:26
And the king made silver in Jerusalem as stones, and cedars made he as the sycamores that are in the lowland for abundance. 2 Chr. 9:27
And the rest of the acts of Solomon first and last, are they not written in the words of Nathan the prophet, and in the prophecy of Ahijah the Shilonite, and in the visions of Iddo the seer concerning Jeroboam the son of Nebat? 2 Chr. 9:29
And Solomon slept with his fathers, and they buried him in the city of David his father; and Rehoboam his son reigned in his stead. 2 Chr. 9:31
And it came to pass when Jeroboam the son of Nebat heard it (now he was in Egypt, whither he had fled from the presence of king Solomon) that Jeroboam returned out of Egypt. 2 Chr. 10:2
Thy father made our yoke grievous; and now lighten the grievous servitude of thy father, and his heavy yoke that he put upon us, and we will serve thee. 2 Chr. 10:4
And he said to them, Come again to me after three days. And the people departed. 2 Chr. 10:5
And king Rehoboam consulted with the old men, who had stood before Solomon his father while he yet lived, saying, How do ye advise to return answer to this people? 2 Chr. 10:6
But he forsook the advice of the old men which they had given him, and consulted with the young men, who had grown up with him, that stood before him. 2 Chr. 10:8
And he said to them, What advice give ye that we may return answer to this people, who have spoken to me saying, Lighten the yoke which thy father put upon us? 2 Chr. 10:9
And the young men that had grown up with him spoke to him saying, Thus shalt thou say to the people who have spoken to thee saying, Thy father made our yoke heavy, and lighten thou it for us, -- thus shalt thou say to them: My little finger is thicker than my father's loins; 2 Chr. 10:10
And Jeroboam and all the people came to Rehoboam the third day, as the king had appointed saying, Come again to me on the third day. 2 Chr. 10:12
And the king answered them roughly; and king Rehoboam forsook the advice of the old men, 2 Chr. 10:13
and spoke to them according to the advice of the young men, saying, My father made your yoke heavy, but *I* will add to it; my father chastised you with whips, but *I* will chastise you with scorpions. 2 Chr. 10:14
So the king hearkened not to the people; for it was brought about by God, that Jehovah might give effect to his word, which he spoke through Ahijah the Shilonite to Jeroboam the son of Nebat. 2 Chr. 10:15
And all Israel saw that the king hearkened not to them; and the people answered the king saying, What portion have we in David? and we have no inheritance in the son of Jesse: every man to your tents, O Israel. Now see to thine own house, David! And all Israel went to their tents. 2 Chr. 10:16
But as for the children of Israel that dwelt in the cities of Judah, Rehoboam reigned over them. 2 Chr. 10:17
And king Rehoboam sent Hadoram, who was over the levy; but the children of Israel stoned him with stones, that he died. And king Rehoboam hastened to mount his chariot, to flee to Jerusalem. 2 Chr. 10:18
And Israel rebelled against the house of David, unto this day. 2 Chr. 10:19
And Rehoboam came to Jerusalem; and he assembled the house of Judah and Benjamin, a hundred and eighty thousand chosen men apt for war, to fight against Israel, that he might bring the kingdom again to Rehoboam. 2 Chr. 11:1
But the word of Jehovah came to Shemaiah the man of God, saying, 2 Chr. 11:2
Speak unto Rehoboam, the son of Solomon, king of Judah, and unto all Israel in Judah and Benjamin, saying, 2 Chr. 11:3
Thus saith Jehovah: Go not up, nor fight with your brethren; return every man to his house; for this thing is from me. And they hearkened to the words of Jehovah, and returned from going against Jeroboam. 2 Chr. 11:4
And he fortified the strongholds, and put captains in them, and stores of victuals, and of oil and wine; 2 Chr. 11:11
And the priests and the Levites that were in all Israel resorted to him out of all their districts; 2 Chr. 11:13
for the Levites left their suburbs and their possessions, and came to Judah and Jerusalem: for Jeroboam and his sons had cast them off from exercising the priesthood to Jehovah; 2 Chr. 11:14
and he ordained for himself priests for the high places, and for the he-goats and for the calves that he had made. 2 Chr. 11:15
-- And after them, those out of all the tribes of Israel that set their heart to seek Jehovah the God of Israel came to Jerusalem, to sacrifice to Jehovah the God of their fathers. 2 Chr. 11:16
And they strengthened the kingdom of Judah, and made Rehoboam the son of Solomon strong three years; for during three years they walked in the way of David and Solomon. 2 Chr. 11:17
And Rehoboam took Mahalath the daughter of Jerimoth the son of David as wife, and of Abihail the daughter of Eliab the son of Jesse. 2 Chr. 11:18
And after her he took Maachah the daughter of Absalom; and she bore him Abijah, and Attai, and Ziza, and Shelomith. 2 Chr. 11:20
And Rehoboam loved Maachah the daughter of Absalom above all his wives and his concubines; for he had taken eighteen wives and sixty concubines, and he begot twenty-eight sons and sixty daughters. 2 Chr. 11:21
And Rehoboam established Abijah the son of Maachah at the head, to be ruler among his brethren; for he thought to make him king. 2 Chr. 11:22
And he dealt wisely, and dispersed of all his sons throughout all the lands of Judah and Benjamin, to all the fortified cities; and he gave them food in abundance. And he desired for them a multitude of wives. 2 Chr. 11:23
And it came to pass when the kingdom of Rehoboam was established, and when he had become strong, that he forsook the law of Jehovah, and all Israel with him. 2 Chr. 12:1
And it came to pass in the fifth year of king Rehoboam, because they had transgressed against Jehovah, that Shishak king of Egypt came up against Jerusalem, 2 Chr. 12:2
with twelve hundred chariots and sixty thousand horsemen; and the people were without number that came with him out of Egypt: Libyans, Sukkites, and Ethiopians. 2 Chr. 12:3
And he took the fortified cities that belonged to Judah, and came to Jerusalem. 2 Chr. 12:4
And Shemaiah the prophet came to Rehoboam and to the princes of Judah that had gathered together to Jerusalem because of Shishak, and said to them, Thus saith Jehovah: Ye have forsaken me, and therefore have I also left you in the hand of Shishak. 2 Chr. 12:5
And the princes of Israel and the king humbled themselves; and they said, Jehovah is righteous. 2 Chr. 12:6
And when Jehovah saw that they humbled themselves, the word of Jehovah came to Shemaiah, saying, They have humbled themselves: I will not destroy them, but I will grant them a little deliverance; and my wrath shall not be poured out upon Jerusalem by the hand of Shishak. 2 Chr. 12:7
Nevertheless they shall be his servants; that they may know my service, and the service of the kingdoms of the countries. 2 Chr. 12:8
And Shishak king of Egypt came up against Jerusalem, and took away the treasures of the house of Jehovah, and the treasures of the king's house; he took away all; and he took away the shields of gold that Solomon had made. 2 Chr. 12:9
And king Rehoboam made in their stead shields of bronze, and committed them to the hands of the chief of the couriers who kept the entrance of the king's house. 2 Chr. 12:10
And it was so, that as often as the king entered into the house of Jehovah, the couriers came and fetched them, and brought them again into the chamber of the couriers. 2 Chr. 12:11
And when he humbled himself, the anger of Jehovah turned away from him, that he would not destroy him altogether; and also in Judah there were good things. 2 Chr. 12:12
And king Rehoboam strengthened himself in Jerusalem, and reigned; for Rehoboam was forty-one years old when he began to reign, and he reigned seventeen years in Jerusalem, the city that Jehovah had chosen out of all the tribes of Israel, to put his name there: and his mother's name was Naamah an Ammonitess. 2 Chr. 12:13
And the acts of Rehoboam, first and last, are they not written in the words of Shemaiah the prophet, and of Iddo the seer, in the genealogical registers? And there were wars between Rehoboam and Jeroboam continually. 2 Chr. 12:15
And Rehoboam slept with his fathers, and was buried in the city of David. And Abijah his son reigned in his stead. 2 Chr. 12:16
In the eighteenth year of king Jeroboam began Abijah to reign over Judah. 2 Chr. 13:1
He reigned three years in Jerusalem; and his mother's name was Michaiah, the daughter of Uriel of Gibeah. And there was war between Abijah and Jeroboam. 2 Chr. 13:2
And Abijah began the war with an army of men of war, four hundred thousand chosen men; and Jeroboam set the battle in array against him with eight hundred thousand chosen men, mighty men of valour. 2 Chr. 13:3
And Abijah stood up on the top of mount Zemaraim, which is in mount Ephraim, and said, Hear me, Jeroboam, and all Israel! 2 Chr. 13:4
Ought ye not to know that Jehovah the God of Israel gave the kingdom over Israel to David for ever, to him and to his sons by a covenant of salt? 2 Chr. 13:5
But Jeroboam the son of Nebat, the servant of Solomon the son of David, rose up and rebelled against his lord. 2 Chr. 13:6
And vain men, sons of Belial, gathered to him and strengthened themselves against Rehoboam the son of Solomon, and Rehoboam was young and faint-hearted, and did not shew himself strong against them. 2 Chr. 13:7
And now ye think to shew yourselves strong against the kingdom of Jehovah in the hand of the sons of David; and ye are a great multitude, and ye have with you the golden calves that Jeroboam made you for gods. 2 Chr. 13:8
Have ye not cast out the priests of Jehovah, the sons of Aaron, and the Levites, and made you priests as the peoples of the lands? whoever comes to consecrate himself with a young bullock and seven rams, he becomes a priest of what is not God. 2 Chr. 13:9
But as for us, Jehovah is our God, and we have not forsaken him; and the priests that serve Jehovah are the sons of Aaron, and the Levites are at their work: 2 Chr. 13:10
and they burn to Jehovah every morning and every evening burnt-offerings and sweet incense; the loaves also are set in order upon the pure table; and the candlestick of gold with its lamps to burn every evening: for *we* keep the charge of Jehovah our God; but *ye* have forsaken him. 2 Chr. 13:11
And behold, we have God with us at our head, and his priests, and the loud-sounding trumpets to sound an alarm against you. Children of Israel, do not fight with Jehovah the God of your fathers; for ye shall not prosper. 2 Chr. 13:12
But Jeroboam caused an ambush to come about behind them; and they were before Judah, and the ambush behind them. 2 Chr. 13:13
And Judah looked back, and behold, they had the battle in front and behind; and they cried to Jehovah, and the priests sounded with the trumpets. 2 Chr. 13:14
And the men of Judah gave a shout; and as the men of Judah shouted, it came to pass that God smote Jeroboam and all Israel before Abijah and Judah. 2 Chr. 13:15
And the children of Israel fled before Judah; and God delivered them into their hand. 2 Chr. 13:16
And the children of Israel were humbled at that time, and the children of Judah were strengthened, because they relied upon Jehovah the God of their fathers. 2 Chr. 13:18
And Jeroboam did not recover strength again in the days of Abijah; and Jehovah smote him, and he died. 2 Chr. 13:20
And the rest of the acts of Abijah, and his ways and his sayings, are written in the treatise of the prophet Iddo. 2 Chr. 13:22
And Abijah slept with his fathers, and they buried him in the city of David. And Asa his son reigned in his stead. In his days the land was quiet ten years. 2 Chr. 14:1
And Asa did what was good and right in the sight of Jehovah his God; 2 Chr. 14:2
and he took away the altars of the strange gods and the high places, and broke the columns, and cut down the Asherahs; 2 Chr. 14:3
and commanded Judah to seek Jehovah the God of their fathers, and to practise the law and the commandment. 2 Chr. 14:4
And he removed out of all the cities of Judah the high places and the sun-images; and the kingdom was quiet before him. 2 Chr. 14:5
And he built fortified cities in Judah, for the land had rest, and he had no war in those years; because Jehovah had given him rest. 2 Chr. 14:6
And he said to Judah, Let us build these cities, and surround them with walls and towers, gates and bars, while the land is yet before us; for we have sought Jehovah our God; we have sought him, and he has given us rest on every side. And they built and prospered. 2 Chr. 14:7
And Asa had an army that bore targets and spears: out of Judah three hundred thousand; and out of Benjamin, that bore shields and drew the bow, two hundred and eighty thousand: all these, mighty men of valour. 2 Chr. 14:8
And Zerah the Ethiopian came out against him with a host of a thousand thousand, and three hundred chariots, and he came to Mareshah. 2 Chr. 14:9
And Asa went out against him, and they set the battle in array in the valley of Zephathah near Mareshah. 2 Chr. 14:10
And Jehovah smote the Ethiopians before Asa and before Judah; and the Ethiopians fled. 2 Chr. 14:12
And Asa and the people that were with him pursued them to Gerar; and the Ethiopians were overthrown, that none of them was left alive; for they were crushed before Jehovah and before his army. And they carried away very much spoil. 2 Chr. 14:13
And they smote all the cities round about Gerar, for the terror of Jehovah came upon them; and they spoiled all the cities, for there was very much spoil in them. 2 Chr. 14:14
They smote also the tents of cattle, and carried away sheep and camels in abundance, and returned to Jerusalem. 2 Chr. 14:15
And the Spirit of God came upon Azariah the son of Oded. 2 Chr. 15:1
Now for a long while Israel was without the true God, and without a teaching priest, and without law; 2 Chr. 15:3
but in their trouble they turned to Jehovah the God of Israel, and sought him, and he was found of them. 2 Chr. 15:4
And in those times there was no peace to him that went out nor to him that came in, but great disturbances were amongst all the inhabitants of the countries. 2 Chr. 15:5
And when Asa heard these words and the prophecy of Oded the prophet, he took courage, and put away the abominations out of all the land of Judah and Benjamin, and out of the cities that he had taken from mount Ephraim, and renewed the altar of Jehovah, that was before the porch of Jehovah. 2 Chr. 15:8
And he assembled all Judah and Benjamin, and the strangers with them out of Ephraim and Manasseh, and out of Simeon; for they fell away to him out of Israel in abundance, when they saw that Jehovah his God was with him. 2 Chr. 15:9
And they assembled themselves at Jerusalem in the third month of the fifteenth year of the reign of Asa. 2 Chr. 15:10
And they sacrificed to Jehovah in that day, of the spoil that they had brought, seven hundred oxen and seven thousand sheep. 2 Chr. 15:11
And they entered into a covenant to seek Jehovah the God of their fathers, with all their heart, and with all their soul, 2 Chr. 15:12
and that whoever would not seek Jehovah the God of Israel should be put to death, whether small or great, whether man or woman. 2 Chr. 15:13
And all Judah rejoiced at the oath; for they took the oath with all their heart, and sought him with their whole desire; and he was found of them. And Jehovah gave them rest round about. 2 Chr. 15:15
And also Maachah, the mother of Asa the king, he removed from being queen, because she had made an idol for the Asherah; and Asa cut down her idol, and stamped it, and burned it in the valley Kidron. 2 Chr. 15:16
But the high places were not removed from Israel; only, Asa's heart was perfect all his days. 2 Chr. 15:17
And he brought into the house of God the things which his father had dedicated, and the things which he himself had dedicated, silver, and gold, and vessels. 2 Chr. 15:18
And there was no war until the thirty-fifth year of the reign of Asa. 2 Chr. 15:19
In the thirty-sixth year of the reign of Asa, Baasha king of Israel came up against Judah, and built Ramah, in order to let none go out or come in to Asa king of Judah. 2 Chr. 16:1
And Asa brought out silver and gold out of the treasures of the house of Jehovah and of the king's house, and sent to Ben-hadad king of Syria, who dwelt at Damascus, saying, 2 Chr. 16:2
And Ben-hadad hearkened to king Asa, and sent the captains of his forces against the cities of Israel; and they smote Ijon and Dan and Abelmaim, and all the store-magazines of the cities of Naphtali. 2 Chr. 16:4
And king Asa took all Judah; and they carried away the stones and the timber from Ramah, with which Baasha had been building, and he built with them Geba and Mizpah. 2 Chr. 16:6
And at that time Hanani the seer came to Asa king of Judah, and said unto him, Because thou hast relied on the king of Syria, and hast not relied on Jehovah thy God, therefore has the army of the king of Syria escaped out of thy hand. 2 Chr. 16:7
Were not the Ethiopians and the Libyans a huge army, with very many chariots and horsemen? but when thou didst rely on Jehovah, he delivered them into thy hand. 2 Chr. 16:8
For the eyes of Jehovah run to and fro through the whole earth, to shew himself strong in the behalf of those whose heart is perfect toward him. Herein thou hast done foolishly; for from henceforth thou shalt have wars. 2 Chr. 16:9
And Asa was wroth with the seer, and put him in the prison; for he was enraged with him because of this. And Asa oppressed some of the people at the same time. 2 Chr. 16:10
And behold the acts of Asa, first and last, behold, they are written in the book of the kings of Judah and Israel. 2 Chr. 16:11
And Asa in the thirty-ninth year of his reign was diseased in his feet, until his disease was extremely great; yet in his disease he did not seek Jehovah, but the physicians. 2 Chr. 16:12
And Asa slept with his fathers, and died in the one-and-fortieth year of his reign. 2 Chr. 16:13
And they buried him in his own sepulchre, which he had excavated for himself in the city of David, and laid him in a bed filled with spices, a mixture of divers kinds prepared by the perfumer's art; and they made a very great burning for him. 2 Chr. 16:14
And he placed forces in all the fortified cities of Judah, and set garrisons in the land of Judah, and in the cities of Ephraim that Asa his father had taken. 2 Chr. 17:2
And Jehovah was with Jehoshaphat, for he walked in the first ways of his father David, and sought not unto the Baals; 2 Chr. 17:3

Thus they did day by day, and gathered money in abundance. 2 Chr. 24:11
And the king and Jehoiada gave it to such as did the work of the service of the house of Jehovah, and they hired masons and carpenters to renew the house of Jehovah, and also such as wrought in iron and bronze, to repair the house of Jehovah. 2 Chr. 24:12

But their children he did not put to death, but did according to that which is written in the law in the book of Moses, wherein Jehovah commanded saying, The fathers shall not die for the children, nor shall the children die for the fathers, but every man shall die for his own sin. 2 Chr. 25:4

and they withstood Uzziah the king, and said to him, It is not for thee, Uzziah, to burn incense to Jehovah, but for the priests the sons of Aaron, that are consecrated to burn incense.

and said to them, Ye shall not bring in the captives hither; because, for our guilt before Jehovah, ye think to increase our sins and our trespasses: for our trespass is great, and fierce wrath is upon Israel. 2 Chr. 28:13
Then the armed men left the captives and the spoil before the princes and all the congregation. 2 Chr. 28:14
And the men that have been expressed by name rose up, and took the captives, and with the spoil clothed all that were naked among them, and arrayed them, and shod them, and gave them to eat and to drink, and anointed them, and carried all the feeble of them on asses, and brought them to Jericho the city of palm-trees, to their brethren. And they returned to Samaria. 2 Chr. 28:15

And the Philistines invaded the cities of the lowland, and of the south of Judah, and took Beth-shemesh, and Ajalon, and Gederoth, and Socho and its dependent villages, and Timnah and its dependent villages, and Guimzo and its dependent villages; and they dwelt there. 2 Chr. 28:18
For Ahaz stripped the house of Jehovah, and the house of the king and of the princes, and gave to the king of Assyria; but he was of no help to him. 2 Chr. 28:21
And in the time of his trouble he transgressed yet more against Jehovah, this king Ahaz. 2 Chr. 28:22
And he sacrificed to the gods of Damascus, which had smitten him; and he said, Since the gods of the kings of Syria help them, I will sacrifice to them, that they may help me. But they were the ruin of him, and of all Israel. 2 Chr. 28:23

And the rest of his acts, and all his ways, first and last, behold, they are written in the book of the kings of Judah and Israel. 2 Chr. 28:26
And Ahaz slept with his fathers, and they buried him in the city, in Jerusalem; but they brought him not into the sepulchres of the kings of Israel. And Hezekiah his son reigned in his stead. 2 Chr. 28:27
And he did what was right in the sight of Jehovah, according to all that David his father had done. 2 Chr. 29:2
He, in the first year of his reign, in the first month, opened the doors of the house of Jehovah, and repaired them. 2 Chr. 29:3
And he brought in the priests and the Levites, and gathered them into the open place eastward; 2 Chr. 29:4
and he said to them, Hear me, ye Levites: hallow yourselves now, and hallow the house of Jehovah the God of your fathers, and carry forth the filthiness out of the sanctuary. 2 Chr. 29:5
For our fathers have transgressed, and done evil in the sight of Jehovah our God, and have forsaken him and turned away their faces from the habitation of Jehovah, and have turned their backs. 2 Chr. 29:6
Also they have shut up the doors of the porch, and put out the lamps, and have not burned incense nor offered up burnt-offerings in the sanctuary to the God of Israel. 2 Chr. 29:7
Therefore the wrath of Jehovah has been upon Judah and Jerusalem, and he has delivered them to vexation, to desolation, and to hissing, as ye see with your eyes. 2 Chr. 29:8
And behold, our fathers have fallen by the sword, and our sons and our daughters and our wives are in captivity for this. 2 Chr. 29:9

Then the Levites rose up, Mahath the son of Amasai, and Joel the son of Azariah, of the sons of the Kohathites; and of the sons of Merari, Kish the son of Abdi, and Azariah the son of Jehalleleel; and of the Gershonites, Joah the son of Zimmah, and Eden the son of Joah; 2 Chr. 29:12
and of the sons of Elizaphan, Shimri and Jeiel; and of the sons of Asaph, Zechariah and Mattaniah; 2 Chr. 29:13
and of the sons of Heman, Jehiel and Shimei; and of the sons of Jeduthun, Shemaiah and Uzziel. 2 Chr. 29:14
And they gathered their brethren, and hallowed themselves, and came, according to the commandment of the king by the words of Jehovah, to cleanse the house of Jehovah. 2 Chr. 29:15
And the priests went into the inner part of the house of Jehovah to cleanse it, and carried forth all the uncleanness that they found in the temple of Jehovah, into the court of the house of Jehovah. And the Levites took it to carry it forth into the brook Kidron. 2 Chr. 29:16
And they began on the first of the first month to hallow, and on the eighth day of the month they came to the porch of Jehovah; and they hallowed the house of Jehovah eight days; and on the sixteenth day of the first month they made an end. 2 Chr. 29:17
And they went in to king Hezekiah, and said, We have cleansed all the house of Jehovah, and the altar of burnt-offering with all its vessels, and the table of the bread to be set in rows, and all its vessels; 2 Chr. 29:18
and all the vessels that king Ahaz in his reign cast away in his transgression have we prepared and hallowed, and behold, they are before the altar of Jehovah. 2 Chr. 29:19
And Hezekiah the king arose early, and gathered the princes of the city, and went up to the house of Jehovah. 2 Chr. 29:20
And they brought seven bullocks, and seven rams, and seven lambs, and seven he-goats for a sin-offering for the kingdom, and for the sanctuary, and for Judah. And he commanded the priests the sons of Aaron to offer them upon the altar of Jehovah. 2 Chr. 29:21
And they slaughtered the bullocks, and the priests received the blood, and sprinkled it on the altar; and they slaughtered the rams, and sprinkled the blood on the altar; and they slaughtered the lambs, and sprinkled the blood on the altar. 2 Chr. 29:22
And they brought near the he-goats of the sin-offering before the king and the congregation; and they laid their hands upon them. 2 Chr. 29:23
And the priests slaughtered them, and they made purification for sin with their blood upon the altar, to make an atonement for all Israel; because for all Israel, said the king, is the burnt-offering and the sin-offering. 2 Chr. 29:24
And he set the Levites in the house of Jehovah with cymbals, with lutes, and with harps, according to the commandment of David, and of Gad the king's seer, and of Nathan the prophet; for the commandment was of Jehovah through his prophets. 2 Chr. 29:25
And the Levites stood with the instruments of David, and the priests with the trumpets. 2 Chr. 29:26
And Hezekiah commanded to offer up the burnt-offering on the altar. And at the moment the burnt-offering began, the song of Jehovah began, and the trumpets, accompanied by the instruments of David king of Israel. 2 Chr. 29:27
And all the congregation worshipped, and the singers sang, and the trumpeters sounded, all the time until the burnt-offering was finished. 2 Chr. 29:28
And when they had ended offering the burnt-offering, the king and all that were present with him bowed themselves and worshipped. 2 Chr. 29:29
And king Hezekiah and the princes commanded the Levites to sing praise to Jehovah with the words of David, and of Asaph the seer. And they sang praises with gladness, and bowed their heads and worshipped. 2 Chr. 29:30
And Hezekiah answered and said, Now ye have consecrated yourselves to Jehovah, come near and bring sacrifices and thank-offerings into the house of the Lord. And the congregation brought in sacrifices and thank-offerings; and as many as were of a willing heart, burnt-offerings. 2 Chr. 29:31
And the number of the burnt-offerings, which the congregation brought, was seventy bullocks, a hundred rams, two hundred lambs: all these were for a burnt-offering to Jehovah. 2 Chr. 29:32
And the consecrated things were six hundred oxen and three thousand sheep. 2 Chr. 29:33
Only the priests were too few, and they could not flay all the burnt-offerings; therefore their brethren the Levites helped them, until the work was ended, and until the priests had hallowed themselves; for the Levites were more upright in heart to hallow themselves than the priests. 2 Chr. 29:34
And also the burnt-offerings were in abundance, with the fat of the peace-offerings, and with the drink-offerings for the burnt-offering. And the service of the house of Jehovah was set in order. 2 Chr. 29:35
And Hezekiah rejoiced, and all the people, that God had prepared the people; for the thing was done suddenly. 2 Chr. 29:36
And Hezekiah sent to all Israel and Judah, and wrote letters also to Ephraim and Manasseh, that they should come to the house of Jehovah at Jerusalem, to hold the passover to Jehovah the God of Israel. 2 Chr. 30:1
And the king took counsel, and his princes, and the whole congregation in Jerusalem, to hold the passover in the second month. 2 Chr. 30:2
For they could not keep it at that time, because the priests had not hallowed themselves in sufficient number, neither had the people been gathered together to Jerusalem. 2 Chr. 30:3
And the thing pleased the king and the whole congregation. 2 Chr. 30:4
So they established a decree to make proclamation throughout Israel from Beer-sheba even to Dan, that they should come to hold the passover to Jehovah the God of Israel, at Jerusalem; because they had not held it for a long time as it was written. 2 Chr. 30:5
And the couriers went with the letters from the king and his princes throughout Israel and Judah, and according to the commandment of the king, saying, Ye children of Israel, return to Jehovah the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, and he will return to the remnant of you that are escaped out of the hand of the kings of Assyria. 2 Chr. 30:6
And be not like your fathers and like your brethren, who transgressed against Jehovah the God of their fathers, so that he gave them up to desolation, as ye see. 2 Chr. 30:7
Now, harden not your necks, as your fathers; yield yourselves to Jehovah, and come to his sanctuary, which he has sanctified for ever; and serve Jehovah your God, that the fierceness of his anger may turn away from you. 2 Chr. 30:8
And the couriers passed from city to city through the country of Ephraim and Manasseh, even to Zebulun; but they laughed them to scorn and mocked them. 2 Chr. 30:10
The hand of God was also upon Judah to give them one heart to do the commandment of the king and of the princes, by the word of Jehovah. 2 Chr. 30:12
And there assembled at Jerusalem much people to hold the feast of unleavened bread in the second month, a very great congregation. 2 Chr. 30:13
And they rose up and took away the altars that were in Jerusalem; and they took away all the incense-altars, and cast them into the torrent Kidron. 2 Chr. 30:14
And they slaughtered the passover on the fourteenth of the second month; and the priests and the Levites were ashamed, and hallowed themselves; and they brought the burnt-offerings into the house of Jehovah. 2 Chr. 30:15
And they stood in their place after their custom, according to the law of Moses the man of God: the priests sprinkled the blood receiving it from the hand of the Levites. 2 Chr. 30:16
For there were many in the congregation that were not hallowed; therefore the Levites had the charge of the slaughtering of the passover-lambs for every one not clean, to hallow them unto Jehovah. 2 Chr. 30:17
For a multitude of the people, many of Ephraim and Manasseh, Issachar and Zebulun, had not cleansed themselves, and they ate the passover otherwise than it was written. But Hezekiah prayed for them saying, Jehovah, who is good, forgive every one 2 Chr. 30:18
that has directed his heart to seek God, Jehovah the God of his fathers, although not according to the purification of the sanctuary. 2 Chr. 30:19
And Jehovah hearkened to Hezekiah, and healed the people. 2 Chr. 30:20
And the children of Israel, that were present at Jerusalem, held the feast of unleavened bread seven days with great gladness; and the Levites and the priests praised Jehovah day by day, with the instruments of praise to Jehovah. 2 Chr. 30:21
And Hezekiah spoke consolingly to all the Levites that had understanding in the good knowledge of Jehovah; and they ate the feast-offerings the seven days, sacrificing peace-offerings, and extolling Jehovah the God of their fathers. 2 Chr. 30:22
And the whole congregation took counsel to observe other seven days; and they observed the seven days with gladness. 2 Chr. 30:23
For Hezekiah king of Judah gave to the congregation as heave-offering: a thousand bullocks and seven thousand sheep; and the princes gave to the congregation a thousand bullocks and ten thousand sheep; and a great number of priests hallowed themselves. 2 Chr. 30:24
And the whole congregation of Judah, with the priests and the Levites, and all the congregation that came out of Israel, and the strangers that came out of the land of Israel, and that dwelt in Judah, rejoiced. 2 Chr. 30:25
And there was great joy in Jerusalem; for since the time of Solomon the son of David, king of Israel, there had not been the like in Jerusalem. 2 Chr. 30:26
And the priests the Levites arose and blessed the people; and their voice was heard, and their prayer came up to his holy habitation, to the heavens. 2 Chr. 30:27
And when all this was finished, all Israel that were present went out to the cities of Judah, and broke the columns, and hewed down the Asherahs, and demolished the high places and the altars in all Judah and Benjamin, in Ephraim also and Manasseh, until they had destroyed them all. And all the children of Israel returned every man to his possession, into their cities. 2 Chr. 31:1
And Hezekiah appointed the divisions of the priests, and the Levites after their divisions, every man according to his service, as well the priests as the Levites, for burnt-offerings and for peace-offerings, to serve and to give thanks and to praise in the gates of the courts of Jehovah. 2 Chr. 31:2
And he ordered that the king's portion should be taken from his substance for the burnt-offerings: for the morning and evening burnt-offerings, for the burnt-offerings of the sabbaths, and of the new moons, and of the set feasts, as it is written in the law of Jehovah. 2 Chr. 31:3
And he commanded the people that dwelt in Jerusalem to give the portion of the priests and the Levites, that they might be encouraged in the law of Jehovah. 2 Chr. 31:4
And as soon as the commandment was published, the children of Israel gave in abundance the firstfruits of corn, new wine and oil and honey, and of all the increase of the field; and they brought in abundantly the tithe of all things. 2 Chr. 31:5
And the children of Israel and of Judah, that dwelt in the cities of Judah, they also brought the tithe of oxen and sheep, and the tithe of holy things which were consecrated to Jehovah their God, and laid them by heaps. 2 Chr. 31:6
In the third month they began to lay the heaps, and finished them in the seventh month. 2 Chr. 31:7
And Hezekiah and the princes came and saw the heaps, and they blessed Jehovah, and his people Israel. 2 Chr. 31:8
And Hezekiah questioned the priests and the Levites concerning the heaps. 2 Chr. 31:9
And Azariah the chief priest of the house of Zadok spoke to him and said, Since they began to bring the heave-offerings into the house of Jehovah, we have eaten and been satisfied and have left plenty; for Jehovah has blessed his people; and what is left is this great store. 2 Chr. 31:10
And Hezekiah commanded to prepare chambers in the house of Jehovah; and they prepared them, 2 Chr. 31:11
and brought in the heave-offerings and the tithes and the dedicated things faithfully; and over these Cononiah the Levite was ruler, and Shimei his brother was second. 2 Chr. 31:12
And Jehiel, and Azaziah, and Nahath, and Asahel, and Jerimoth, and Jozabad, and Eliel, and Jismachiah, and Mahath, and Benaiah were overseers under the hand of Cononiah and Shimei his brother, at the command of Hezekiah the king and Azariah the ruler of the house of God. 2 Chr. 31:13
And Kore the son of Jimnah the Levite, the doorkeeper toward the east, was over the voluntary-offerings of God, to distribute the heave-offerings of Jehovah, and the most holy things. 2 Chr. 31:14
And under him were Eden and Miniamin and Jeshua and Shemaiah, Amariah and Shecaniah, in the cities of the priests, in their set trust, to make distributions to their brethren by their divisions, to the great as to the small, 2 Chr. 31:15
besides those from three years old and upward who as males were entered in the genealogical register, -- all that came into the house of Jehovah, as the duty of every day required, for their service in their charges, according to their divisions, 2 Chr. 31:16
-- both to the priests enregistered according to their fathers' houses, and to the Levites from twenty years old and upward, in their charges, by their divisions; 2 Chr. 31:17
and to all their little ones, their wives, and their sons, and their daughters, the whole congregation of those entered in the register; for in their trust they hallowed themselves to be holy. 2 Chr. 31:18
And for the sons of Aaron the priests who were in the country, in the suburbs of their cities, there were, in every several city, men expressed by name, to give portions to all the males among the priests, and to all the Levites that were entered in the register. 2 Chr. 31:19
And in every work that he undertook in the service of the house of God, and in the law, and in the commandments, to seek his God, he did it with all his heart and prospered. 2 Chr. 31:21
After these things and this faithfulness, Sennacherib king of Assyria came and entered into Judah, and encamped against the fortified cities, and thought to break into them. 2 Chr. 32:1
he took counsel with his princes and his mighty men to stop the fountains of waters that were outside the city; and they helped him. 2 Chr. 32:3
And there was gathered together much people, and they stopped all the fountains, and the torrent that flows through the midst of the land, saying, Why should the kings of Assyria come and find much water? 2 Chr. 32:4
And he strengthened himself, and built up all the wall that was broken down, and raised it up to the towers, and built another wall outside, and fortified the Millo of the city of David, and made darts and shields in abundance. 2 Chr. 32:5
And he set captains of war over the people, and assembled them to him on the open place at the gate of the city, and spoke consolingly to them saying, 2 Chr. 32:6
Be strong and courageous, be not afraid nor dismayed for the king of Assyria, nor for all the multitude that is with him; for there are more with us than with him: 2 Chr. 32:7
with him is an arm of flesh, but with us is Jehovah our God to help us and to fight our battles. And the people depended upon the words of Hezekiah king of Judah. 2 Chr. 32:8
Thus says Sennacherib king of Assyria: On what do ye rely that ye abide in the siege in Jerusalem? 2 Chr. 32:10
Does not Hezekiah persuade you, to give yourselves over to die by famine and by thirst, saying, Jehovah our God will deliver us out of the hand of the king of Assyria? 2 Chr. 32:11
Has not the same Hezekiah removed his high places and his altars, and commanded Judah and Jerusalem saying, Ye shall worship before *one* altar, and burn incense upon it? 2 Chr. 32:12
Do ye not know what I and my fathers have done to all the peoples of the countries? Were the gods of the nations of the countries in any wise able to deliver their country out of my hand? 2 Chr. 32:13
Who is there among all the gods of those nations that my fathers have utterly destroyed, that was able to deliver his people out of my hand, that your God should be able to deliver you out of my hand? 2 Chr. 32:14
And now, let not Hezekiah deceive you, nor persuade you in this manner, neither yet believe him; for no +god of any nation or kingdom was able to deliver his people out of my hand, nor out of the hand of my fathers: how much less shall your God deliver you out of my hand? 2 Chr. 32:15
And his servants spoke yet more against Jehovah, the true God, and against his servant Hezekiah. 2 Chr. 32:16
And he wrote a letter to rail at Jehovah the God of Israel, and to speak against him saying, As the gods of the nations of the countries have not delivered their people out of my hand, so shall not the God of Hezekiah deliver his people out of my hand. 2 Chr. 32:17
And they cried with a loud voice in the Jewish language to the people of Jerusalem that were on the wall, to frighten them and to trouble them; that they might take the city. 2 Chr. 32:18
And they spoke of the God of Jerusalem as of the gods of the peoples of the earth, the work of man's hand. 2 Chr. 32:19
And because of this, king Hezekiah and the prophet Isaiah the son of Amoz prayed and cried to heaven. 2 Chr. 32:20
And Jehovah sent an angel, who cut off all the mighty men of valour, and the princes and the captains in the camp of the king of Assyria. And he returned with shame of face to his own land. And when he was come into the house of his god, they that came forth of his own bowels made him fall there with the sword. 2 Chr. 32:21
And Jehovah saved Hezekiah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem from the hand of Sennacherib the king of Assyria, and from the hand of all, and protected them on every side. 2 Chr. 32:22
And many brought gifts unto Jehovah to Jerusalem, and precious things to Hezekiah king of Judah; and he was thenceforth magnified in the sight of all the nations. 2 Chr. 32:23
But Hezekiah rendered not again according to the benefit done to him, for his heart was lifted up; and there was wrath upon him, and upon Judah and Jerusalem. 2 Chr. 32:25
And Hezekiah humbled himself for the pride of his heart, he and the inhabitants of Jerusalem, so that the wrath of Jehovah came not upon them in the days of Hezekiah. 2 Chr. 32:26
storehouses also for the increase of corn and new wine and oil, and stalls for all manner of beasts, and he procured flocks for the stalls. 2 Chr. 32:28
And he, Hezekiah, stopped the upper outlet of the waters of Gihon, and brought it straight down to the west side of the city of David. And Hezekiah prospered in all his works. 2 Chr. 32:30
However in the matter of the ambassadors of the princes of Babylon, who sent to him to inquire of the wonder that was done in the land, God left him, to try him, that he might know all that was in his heart. 2 Chr. 32:31
And the rest of the acts of Hezekiah and his good deeds, behold, they are written in the vision of the prophet Isaiah the son of Amoz in the book of the kings of Judah and Israel. 2 Chr. 32:32
And Hezekiah slept with his fathers, and they buried him in the highest place of the sepulchres of the sons of David; and all Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem did him honour at his death. And Manasseh his son reigned in his stead. 2 Chr. 32:33
And he did evil in the sight of Jehovah, like the abominations of the nations that Jehovah had dispossessed from before the children of Israel. 2 Chr. 33:2

And he built altars in the house of Jehovah, of which Jehovah had said, In Jerusalem shall my name be for ever. 2 Chr. 33:4
And he built altars to all the host of heaven in both courts of the house of Jehovah. 2 Chr. 33:5
He also caused his children to pass through the fire in the valley of the son of Hinnom; and he used magic and divination and sorcery, and appointed necromancers and soothsayers: he wrought evil beyond measure in the sight of Jehovah, to provoke him to anger. 2 Chr. 33:6
And he set the graven image of the idol that he had made, in the house of God, of which God had said to David and to Solomon his son, In this house, and in Jerusalem, which I have chosen out of all the tribes of Israel, will I put my name for ever; 2 Chr. 33:7
neither will I any more remove the foot of Israel from out of the land that I have appointed to your fathers; if they will only take heed to do all that I commanded them through Moses, according to all the law and the statutes and the ordinances. 2 Chr. 33:8

And he removed the strange gods, and the idol out of the house of Jehovah, and all the altars that he had built on the mount of the house of Jehovah and in Jerusalem, and cast them out of the city. 2 Chr. 33:15
And he reinstated the altar of Jehovah, and sacrificed on it peace-offerings and thank-offerings, and commanded Judah to serve Jehovah the God of Israel. 2 Chr. 33:16
Nevertheless, the people sacrificed still on the high places, although to Jehovah their God only. 2 Chr. 33:17
And the rest of the acts of Manasseh, and his prayer to his God, and the words of the seers that spoke to him in the name of Jehovah the God of Israel, behold, they are written in the acts of the kings of Israel. 2 Chr. 33:18
And his prayer, and how God was intreated of him, and all his sin and his unfaithfulness, and the places in which he built high places, and set up Asherahs and graven images, before he was humbled, behold, they are written among the words of Hozai. 2 Chr. 33:19

And he did what was right in the sight of Jehovah, and walked in the ways of David his father, and turned not aside to the right hand nor to the left. 2 Chr. 34:2
And in the eighth year of his reign, while he was yet young, he began to seek after the God of David his father; and in the twelfth year he began to purge Judah and Jerusalem from the high places, and the Asherahs, and the graven images, and the molten images. 2 Chr. 34:3
And they broke down the altars of the Baals in his presence; and the sun-pillars that were on high above them he cut down; and the Asherahs and the graven images and the molten images he broke in pieces, and made dust of them and strewed it upon the graves of those that had sacrificed to them; 2 Chr. 34:4
and he burned the bones of the priests upon their altars, and purged Judah and Jerusalem. 2 Chr. 34:5
And so did he in the cities of Manasseh and Ephraim and Simeon, even to Naphtali, in their ruins round about; 2 Chr. 34:6
and he broke down the altars, and beat the Asherahs and the graven images into powder, and cut down all the sun-pillars throughout the land of Israel, and returned to Jerusalem. 2 Chr. 34:7
And in the eighteenth year of his reign, when he purged the land and the house, he sent Shaphan the son of Azaliah, and Maaseiah the governor of the city, and Joah the son of Joahaz the chronicler, to repair the house of Jehovah his God. 2 Chr. 34:8
And they came to Hilkijah the high priest, and they delivered to them the money that had been brought into the house of God, which the Levites that kept the doors had gathered of the hand of Manasseh and Ephraim, and of all the remnant of Israel, and of all Judah and Benjamin, and of the inhabitants of Jerusalem. 2 Chr. 34:9
And they gave it into the hand of them that did the work, that had the oversight of the house of Jehovah; and they gave it to the workmen who wrought in the house of Jehovah to reinstate and repair the house: 2 Chr. 34:10
they gave it to the carpenters and the builders, to buy hewn stone, and timber for the joists, and to floor the houses that the kings of Judah had destroyed. 2 Chr. 34:11
And the men did the work faithfully. And over them were appointed Jahath and Obadiah, Levites, of the children of Merari, and Zechariah and Meshullam, of the children of the Kohathites, for the oversight; and all these Levites were skilled in instruments of music. 2 Chr. 34:12
They were also over the bearers of burdens, and were overseers of all that worked in any manner of service. And of the Levites were the scribes, and officers, and doorkeepers. 2 Chr. 34:13
And when they brought out the money that had been brought into the house of Jehovah, Hilkijah the priest found the book of the law of Jehovah by Moses. 2 Chr. 34:14
Then Hilkijah spoke and said to Shaphan the scribe, I have found the book of the law in the house of Jehovah. And Hilkijah gave the book to Shaphan. 2 Chr. 34:15
And Shaphan carried the book to the king. And moreover he brought the king word again saying, All that was committed to the hand of thy servants, they do; 2 Chr. 34:16
and they have emptied out the money that was found in the house of Jehovah, and have delivered it into the hand of the overseers, and into the hand of the workmen. 2 Chr. 34:17
And Shaphan the scribe informed the king saying, Hilkijah the priest has given me a book. And Shaphan read out of it before the king. 2 Chr. 34:18
And it came to pass when the king heard the words of the law, that he rent his garments. 2 Chr. 34:19
And the king commanded Hilkijah, and Ahikam the son of Shaphan, and Abdon the son of Micah, and Shaphan the scribe, and Asaiah a servant of the king, saying, 2 Chr. 34:20
Go, inquire of Jehovah for me, and for them that are left in Israel and in Judah, concerning the words of the book which is found; for great is the wrath of Jehovah that is poured out upon us, because our fathers have not kept the word of Jehovah, to do according to all that is written in this book. 2 Chr. 34:21
And Hilkijah and they that the king had appointed went to Huldah the prophetess, the wife of Shallum the son of Tokehath, son of Hasrah, keeper of the wardrobe: now she dwelt in Jerusalem in the second quarter of the town; and they spoke with her to that effect. 2 Chr. 34:22
And she said to them, Thus saith Jehovah the God of Israel: Tell the man that sent you to me, 2 Chr. 34:23
Thus saith Jehovah: Behold, I will bring evil upon this place, and upon the inhabitants thereof, all the curses that are written in the book which they have read before the king of Judah. 2 Chr. 34:24
Because they have forsaken me, and have burned incense unto other gods, that they might provoke me to anger with all the works of their hands; therefore my fury shall be poured out upon this place, and shall not be quenched. 2 Chr. 34:25
But to the king of Judah, who sent you to inquire of Jehovah, thus shall ye say to him: Thus saith Jehovah the God of Israel touching the words which thou hast heard: 2 Chr. 34:26
Because thy heart was tender, and thou didst humble thyself before God, when thou heardest his words against this place and against the inhabitants thereof, and humbledst thyself before me, and didst rend thy garments and weep before me, I also have heard thee, saith Jehovah. 2 Chr. 34:27
Behold, I will gather thee unto thy fathers, and thou shalt be gathered to thy grave in peace; and thine eyes shall not see all the evil that I will bring upon this place, and upon the inhabitants thereof. And they brought the king word again. 2 Chr. 34:28
And the king sent and gathered all the elders of Judah and of Jerusalem. 2 Chr. 34:29
And the king went up into the house of Jehovah, and all the men of Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and the priests and the Levites, and all the people, great and small; and he read in their ears all the words of the book of the covenant which had been found in the house of Jehovah. 2 Chr. 34:30
And the king stood in his place, and made a covenant before Jehovah, to walk after Jehovah, and to keep his commandments and his testimonies and his statutes with all his heart and with all his soul, to perform the words of the covenant that are written in this book. 2 Chr. 34:31
And he caused all that were present in Jerusalem and Benjamin to stand to it. And the inhabitants of Jerusalem did according to the covenant of God, the God of their fathers. 2 Chr. 34:32
And Josiah removed all the abominations out of all the countries that belonged to the children of Israel, and made to serve all that were found in Israel, -- to serve Jehovah their God: all his days they did not depart from following Jehovah, the God of their fathers. 2 Chr. 34:33
And Josiah held a passover to Jehovah in Jerusalem; and they slaughtered the passover on the fourteenth of the first month. 2 Chr. 35:1
And he set the priests in their charges, and encouraged them to the service of the house of Jehovah. 2 Chr. 35:2
And he said to the Levites, that taught all Israel, and who were holy to Jehovah, Put the holy ark in the house that Solomon the son of David, king of Israel, built; ye have not to carry it upon your shoulders. Serve now Jehovah your God, and his people Israel; 2 Chr. 35:3
and prepare yourselves by your fathers' houses, in your divisions, according to the writing of David king of Israel, and according to the writing of Solomon his son; 2 Chr. 35:4
and stand in the sanctuary for the classes of the fathers' houses, for your brethren, the children of the people, and according to the divisions of the fathers' houses of the Levites; 2 Chr. 35:5
and slaughter the passover, and hallow yourselves, and prepare it for your brethren, that they may do according to the word of Jehovah through Moses. 2 Chr. 35:6
And Josiah gave for the children of the people a heave-offering of the flocks, lambs and goats, all for the passover-offerings, for all that were present -- to the number of thirty thousand, and three thousand bullocks: these were of the king's substance. 2 Chr. 35:7
And his princes gave a voluntary heave-offering for the people, for the priests, and for the Levites: Hilkijah and Zechariah and Jehiel, rulers of the house of God, gave to the priests for the passover-offerings two thousand six hundred small cattle and three hundred oxen; 2 Chr. 35:8
and Conaniah, and Shemaiah and Nethaneel, his brethren, and Hashabiah and Jeiel and Jozabad, chief of the Levites, gave as heave-offering to the Levites for the passover-offerings five thousand small cattle and five hundred oxen. 2 Chr. 35:9

And they slaughtered the passover, and the priests sprinkled the blood from their hand, and the Levites flayed them. 2 Chr. 35:11
And they set apart the burnt-offerings to give them to the classes of the fathers' houses of the children of the people, to present them to Jehovah, as it is written in the book of Moses. And so did they with the oxen. 2 Chr. 35:12
And they roasted the passover with fire according to the ordinance; and the consecrated things they boiled in pots and in cauldrons and in pans, and divided them speedily among all the children of the people. 2 Chr. 35:13
And afterwards they made ready for themselves and for the priests; because the priests, the sons of Aaron, were engaged in offering up the burnt-offerings and the fat until night; therefore the Levites prepared for themselves, and for the priests, the sons of Aaron. 2 Chr. 35:14
And the singers, the sons of Asaph, were in their place, according to the commandment of David, and Asaph, and Heman, and Jeduthun the king's seer; and the doorkeepers were at every gate; they had not to depart from their service, for their brethren the Levites prepared for them. 2 Chr. 35:15
And all the service of Jehovah was prepared the same day, to hold the passover, and to offer burnt-offerings on the altar of Jehovah according to the commandment of king Josiah. 2 Chr. 35:16
And the children of Israel that were present held the passover at that time, and the feast of unleavened bread seven days. 2 Chr. 35:17
And there was no passover like to that holden in Israel from the days of Samuel the prophet; neither did all the kings of Israel hold such a passover as Josiah held, and the priests, and the Levites, and all Judah and Israel that were present, and the inhabitants of Jerusalem. 2 Chr. 35:18
In the eighteenth year of the reign of Josiah was this passover holden. 2 Chr. 35:19
After all this, when Josiah had arranged the house, Necho king of Egypt came up to fight against Karkemish at the Euphrates; and Josiah went out against him. 2 Chr. 35:20
And he sent messengers to him, saying, What have I to do with thee, thou king of Judah? I come not against thee this day, but against the house with which I have war; and God has told me to make haste: keep aloof from God who is with me, that he destroy thee not. 2 Chr. 35:21
But Josiah would not turn his face from him, but disguised himself, that he might fight against him; and he hearkened not to the words of Necho from the mouth of God; and he came to fight in the valley of Megiddo. 2 Chr. 35:22

And Jeremiah lamented for Josiah; and all the singing men and singing women spoke of Josiah in their lamentations to this day; and they made them an ordinance for Israel. And behold, they are written in the lamentations. 2 Chr. 35:25
And the rest of the acts of Josiah, and his good deeds, according to that which is written in the law of Jehovah, 2 Chr. 35:26
and his acts, first and last, behold, they are written in the book of the kings of Israel and Judah. 2 Chr. 35:27

And he also rebelled against king Nebuchadnezzar, who had made him take oath by God; and he stiffened his neck, and hardened his heart from returning to Jehovah the God of Israel. 2 Chr. 36:13
All the chiefs of the priests also, and the people, increased their transgressions, according to all the abominations of the nations; and they defiled the house of Jehovah which he had hallowed in Jerusalem. 2 Chr. 36:14
And Jehovah the God of their fathers sent to them by his messengers, rising up early and sending; because he had compassion on his people and on his dwelling-place. 2 Chr. 36:15
But they mocked at the messengers of God, and despised his words, and scoffed at his prophets, until the fury of Jehovah rose against his people, and there was no remedy. 2 Chr. 36:16

to fulfil the word of Jehovah by the mouth of Jeremiah, until the land had enjoyed its sabbaths. All the days of its desolation it kept sabbath, to fulfil seventy years. 2 Chr. 36:21
And in the first year of Cyrus king of Persia, that the word of Jehovah by the mouth of Jeremiah might be accomplished, Jehovah stirred up the spirit of Cyrus king of Persia, and he made a proclamation throughout his kingdom, and also in writing, saying, 2 Chr. 36:22
Thus says Cyrus king of Persia: All the kingdoms of the earth has Jehovah the God of the heavens given to me, and he has charged me to build him a house at Jerusalem, which is in Judah. Whosoever there is among you of all his people, Jehovah his God be with him, and let him go up. 2 Chr. 36:23

the children of Jaalah, the children of Darkon, the children of Giddel, Ezra 2:56
the children of Shephatiah, the children of Hattil, the children of Pochereth-Hazzebaim, the children of Ami. Ezra 2:57
All the Nethinim and the children of Solomon's servants, three hundred and ninety-two. Ezra 2:58
The children of Delaiah, the children of Tobijah, the children of Nekoda, six hundred and fifty-two. Ezra 2:60
And of the children of the priests: the children of Habaiah, the children of Koz, the children of Barzillai; who took a wife of the daughters of Barzillai the Gileadite, and was called after their name. Ezra 2:61
These sought their genealogical register, but they were not found; therefore were they, as polluted, removed from the priesthood. Ezra 2:62
And the Tirshatha said to them that they should not eat of the most holy things, till there stood up a priest with Urim and with Thummim. Ezra 2:63
The whole congregation together was forty-two thousand three hundred and sixty, Ezra 2:64
their camels four hundred and thirty-five; the asses six thousand seven hundred and twenty. Ezra 2:67
And some of the chief fathers, when they came to the house of Jehovah which is at Jerusalem, offered freely for the house of God to set it up in its place. Ezra 2:68
They gave after their ability to the treasure of the work sixty-one thousand darics of gold, and five thousand pounds of silver, and one hundred priests' coats. Ezra 2:69
And the priests, and the Levites, and some of the people, and the singers, and the doorkeepers, and the Nethinim dwelt in their cities, and all Israel in their cities. Ezra 2:70
And when the seventh month came, and the children of Israel were in the cities, the people gathered together as one man to Jerusalem. Ezra 3:1
Then stood up Jeshua the son of Jozadak, and his brethren the priests, and Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, and his brethren, and built the altar of the God of Israel, to offer up burnt-offerings on it, as it is written in the law of Moses the man of God. Ezra 3:2
And they set the altar on its base; for fear was upon them because of the people of the countries; and they offered up burnt-offerings on it to Jehovah, the morning and evening burnt-offerings. Ezra 3:3
And they held the feast of tabernacles as it is written, and offered daily burnt-offerings by number, according to the ordinance, as the duty of every day required; Ezra 3:4
and afterwards the continual burnt-offering, and those of the new moons, and of all the set feasts of Jehovah that were consecrated, and of every one that willingly offered a voluntary offering to Jehovah. Ezra 3:5
From the first day of the seventh month they began to offer up burnt-offerings to Jehovah. But the foundation of the temple of Jehovah was not yet laid. Ezra 3:6
And they gave money to the masons and to the carpenters; and meat and drink and oil to the Zidonians and to the Tyrians, to bring cedar-trees from Lebanon to the sea at Joppa, according to the grant that they had of Cyrus king of Persia. Ezra 3:7
And in the second year of their coming to the house of God at Jerusalem, in the second month, began Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, and Jeshua the son of Jozadak, and the remnant of their brethren the priests and the Levites, and all they that had come out of the captivity to Jerusalem; and they appointed the Levites, from twenty years old and upward, to superintend the work of the house of Jehovah. Ezra 3:8
And Jeshua stood up, his sons and his brethren, Kadmiel and his sons, the sons of Judah, as one man, to superintend the workmen in the house of God; also the sons of Henadad, their sons and their brethren, the Levites. Ezra 3:9
And when the builders laid the foundation of the temple of Jehovah, they set the priests in their apparel, with trumpets, and the Levites the sons of Asaph, with cymbals, to praise Jehovah according to the directions of David king of Israel. Ezra 3:10
And they sang alternately together in praising and giving thanks to Jehovah: For he is good, for his loving-kindness endureth for ever toward Israel. And all the people shouted with a great shout to the praise of Jehovah, because the foundation of the house of Jehovah was laid. Ezra 3:11
But many of the priests and Levites and chief fathers, the ancient men that had seen the first house, wept with a loud voice, when the foundation of this house was laid in their sight; and many shouted aloud for joy. Ezra 3:12
And the people could not discern the noise of the shout of joy from the noise of the weeping of the people; for the people shouted with a great shout, and the noise was heard afar off. Ezra 3:13
And the adversaries of Judah and Benjamin heard that the children of the captivity were building the temple to Jehovah the God of Israel; Ezra 4:1
and they came to Zerubbabel and to the chief fathers, and said to them, We would build with you; for we seek your God, as ye; and we have sacrificed to him since the days of Esar-haddon king of Assyria, who brought us up hither. Ezra 4:2
But Zerubbabel and Jeshua and the rest of the chief fathers of Israel said to them, Ye have nothing to do with us to build a house to our God, but we alone will build to Jehovah the God of Israel, as king Cyrus, the king of Persia, has commanded us. Ezra 4:3
And the people of the land weakened the hands of the people of Judah, and troubled them in building; Ezra 4:4
and they hired counsellors against them, to frustrate their purpose, all the days of Cyrus king of Persia, even until the reign of Darius king of Persia. Ezra 4:5
And in the reign of Ahasuerus, in the beginning of his reign, they wrote an accusation against the inhabitants of Judah and Jerusalem. Ezra 4:6
And in the days of Artaxerxes, Bishlam, Mithredath, Tabeel, and the rest of his companions, wrote to Artaxerxes king of Persia; and the writing of the letter was written in Aramaic, and interpreted in Aramaic. Ezra 4:7
Rehum the chancellor and Shimshai the scribe wrote a letter against Jerusalem to Artaxerxes the king after this sort: Ezra 4:8
Rehum the chancellor, and Shimshai the scribe, and the rest of their companions, the Dinaites, and the Apharsathchites, the Tarpelites, the Apharsites, the Archevites, the Babylonians, the Shushanchites, the Dehaites, the Elamites, Ezra 4:9
and the rest of the peoples whom the great and noble Osnappar brought over and settled in the cities of Samaria, and the rest of the country on this side the river, and so forth. Ezra 4:10
This is the copy of the letter that they sent to him: To Artaxerxes the king: Thy servants the men on this side the river, and so forth. Ezra 4:11
Be it known to the king that the Jews who came up from thee unto us have come to Jerusalem; they are building the rebellious and the bad city, and they complete the walls and join up the foundations. Ezra 4:12
Be it known therefore unto the king, that, if this city be built and the walls be completed, they will not pay tribute, tax, and toll, and in the end it will bring damage to the kings. Ezra 4:13
Now, since we eat the salt of the palace, and it is not right for us to see the king's injury, therefore have we sent and informed the king; Ezra 4:14
that search may be made in the book of the annals of thy fathers: so shalt thou find in the book of the annals and know that this city is a rebellious city, which has done damage to kings and provinces, and that they have raised sedition within the same of old time, for which cause this city was destroyed. Ezra 4:15
We inform the king that if this city be built and its walls be completed, by this means thou shalt have no portion on this side the river. Ezra 4:16
The king sent an answer to Rehum the chancellor, and Shimshai the scribe, and the rest of their companions that dwell in Samaria, and the other places beyond the river: Peace, and so forth. Ezra 4:17
The letter that ye sent to us has been read before me distinctly. Ezra 4:18
And I gave orders, and search has been made, and it has been found that this city of old time has made insurrection against the kings, and that rebellion and sedition have been raised therein. Ezra 4:19
And there have been mighty kings over Jerusalem, who have ruled over all beyond the river; and tribute, tax, and toll were paid to them. Ezra 4:20
Now give order to make these men to cease, and that this city be not built, until the order shall be given from me; Ezra 4:21
and take heed that ye fail not to do this: why should harm grow to the damage of the kings? Ezra 4:22
As soon as the copy of king Artaxerxes' letter was read before Rehum, and Shimshai the scribe, and their companions, they went up in haste to Jerusalem to the Jews, and made them cease by force and power. Ezra 4:23
Then ceased the work of the house of God which is at Jerusalem; and it ceased until the second year of the reign of Darius king of Persia. Ezra 4:24
Now the prophets, Haggai the prophet and Zechariah the son of Iddo, prophesied to the Jews that were in Judah and Jerusalem; in the name of the God of Israel did they prophesy to them. Ezra 5:1
Then rose up Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, and Jeshua the son of Jozadak, and began to build the house of God which is at Jerusalem; and with them were the prophets of God, who helped them. Ezra 5:2
At that time came to them Tatnai, governor on this side the river, and Shethar-boznai, and their companions, and said thus to them: Who gave you orders to build this house and to complete this wall? Ezra 5:3
And they said to them after this manner: What are the names of the men that build this building? Ezra 5:4
But the eye of their God was upon the elders of the Jews, and they did not make them cease till the matter came to Darius; and then they returned answer by letter concerning it. Ezra 5:5
The copy of the letter that Tatnai, governor on this side the river, and Shethar-boznai, and his companions the Apharsachites, who were on this side the river, sent to Darius the king. Ezra 5:6
They sent a report to him in which was written thus: To Darius the king, all peace! Ezra 5:7
Be it known to the king that we went into the province of Judah, to the house of the great God, which is being built with great stones, and timber is laid in the walls, and this work is being carried on with diligence, and prospers in their hand. Ezra 5:8
We asked their names also, to inform thee, that we might write the names of the men that were the chief of them. Ezra 5:10
And thus they returned us answer, saying, We are the servants of the God of the heavens and the earth, and build the house that was built these many years ago; and a great king of Israel built and completed it. Ezra 5:11
But after that our fathers had provoked the God of the heavens to wrath, he gave them into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, the Chaldean, and he destroyed this house, and carried the people away unto Babylon. Ezra 5:12
But in the first year of Cyrus king of Babylon, king Cyrus gave orders to build this house of God. Ezra 5:13
And the vessels also of gold and silver of the house of God, which Nebuchadnezzar took out of the temple that was at Jerusalem and brought into the temple of Babylon, those did king Cyrus take out of the temple of Babylon, and they were delivered to one Sheshbazzar by name, whom he had appointed governor. Ezra 5:14
And he said to him, Take these vessels, go, carry them into the temple that is at Jerusalem, and let the house of God be built in its place. Ezra 5:15
Then came the same Sheshbazzar, and laid the foundation of the house of God which is at Jerusalem; and since that time even until now has it been in building, and it is not completed. Ezra 5:16
And now, if it seem good to the king, let search be made in the king's treasure-house, which is there at Babylon, whether it be so, that orders were given by king Cyrus to build this house of God at Jerusalem; and let the king send his pleasure to us concerning this matter. Ezra 5:17
Then king Darius gave orders, and search was made in the house of the rolls, where the treasures were laid up in Babylon. Ezra 6:1
And there was found at Achmetha in the fortress that is in the province of Media a roll, and therein was a record thus written: Ezra 6:2
In the first year of king Cyrus, king Cyrus made a decree concerning the house of God at Jerusalem: Let the house be built for a place where they offer sacrifices, and let its foundations be solidly laid; its height sixty cubits, its breadth sixty cubits, Ezra 6:3
with three rows of great stones, and a row of new timber; and let the expenses be given out of the king's house: Ezra 6:4
and also let the golden and silver vessels of the house of God, which Nebuchadnezzar took out of the temple that is at Jerusalem and brought to Babylon, be restored and brought again to the temple that is at Jerusalem, in their place; and thou shalt put them in the house of God. Ezra 6:5
Therefore Tatnai, governor beyond the river, Shethar-boznai, and your companions the Apharsachites, who are beyond the river, be ye far from thence: Ezra 6:6
let the work of this house of God alone; let the governor of the Jews and the elders of the Jews build this house of God in its place. Ezra 6:7
Moreover, I give orders what ye shall do to these elders of the Jews, for the building of this house of God: that of the king's goods, of the tribute beyond the river, expenses be diligently given to these men, that they be not hindered. Ezra 6:8
And that which they have need of, both young bullocks and rams and lambs, for the burnt-offerings to the God of the heavens, wheat, salt, wine, and oil, according to the appointment of the priests that are at Jerusalem, let it be given them day by day without fail; Ezra 6:9
that they may present sweet odours to the God of the heavens, and pray for the life of the king and of his sons. Ezra 6:10
And the God that has caused his name to dwell there overthrow every king and people that shall put forth their hand to alter or to destroy this house of God which is at Jerusalem. I Darius have given this order; let it be done diligently. Ezra 6:12
Then Tatnai, governor on this side the river, Shethar-boznai, and their companions, because of that which king Darius had sent, did so diligently. Ezra 6:13
And the elders of the Jews built; and they prospered through the prophesying of Haggai the prophet and Zechariah the son of Iddo. And they built and completed it according to the commandment of the God of Israel, and according to the commandment of Cyrus, and Darius, and Artaxerxes king of Persia. Ezra 6:14
And this house was finished on the third day of the month Adar, which was in the sixth year of the reign of king Darius. Ezra 6:15
And the children of Israel, the priests and the Levites, and the rest of the children of the captivity, kept the dedication of this house of God with joy; Ezra 6:16
and they presented at the dedication of this house of God a hundred bullocks, two hundred rams, four hundred lambs, and for a sin-offering for all Israel, twelve he-goats, according to the number of the tribes of Israel. Ezra 6:17
And they set the priests in their classes, and the Levites in their divisions, for the service of God, which is at Jerusalem: as it is written in the book of Moses. Ezra 6:18
And the children of the captivity held the passover upon the fourteenth of the first month. Ezra 6:19
For the priests and the Levites had purified themselves as one man: they were all pure; and they killed the passover for all the children of the captivity, and for their brethren the priests, and for themselves. Ezra 6:20
And the children of Israel that were come back out of captivity, and all such as had separated themselves to them from the filthiness of the nations of the land, to seek Jehovah the God of Israel, did eat; Ezra 6:21
and they kept the feast of unleavened bread seven days with joy; for Jehovah had made them joyful, and turned the heart of the king of Assyria to them, to strengthen their hands in the work of the house of God, the God of Israel. Ezra 6:22
And after these things, in the reign of Artaxerxes, king of Persia, Ezra the son of Seraiah, the son of Azariah, the son of Hilkijah, Ezra 7:1
the son of Shallum, the son of Zadok, the son of Ahitub, Ezra 7:2
the son of Amariah, the son of Azariah, the son of Meraioth, Ezra 7:3
the son of Zerahiah, the son of Uzzi, the son of Bukki, Ezra 7:4
the son of Abishua, the son of Phinehas, the son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron the chief priest, Ezra 7:5
-- this Ezra went up from Babylon; and he was a ready scribe in the law of Moses, which Jehovah the God of Israel had given. And the king granted him all his request, according to the hand of Jehovah his God upon him. Ezra 7:6
(And there went up some of the children of Israel, and of the priests, and the Levites, and the singers, and the doorkeepers, and the Nethinim, to Jerusalem, in the seventh year of Artaxerxes the king.) Ezra 7:7
And he came to Jerusalem in the fifth month, which was in the seventh year of the king. Ezra 7:8
For upon the first of the first month the project of going up from Babylon was determined on, and on the first of the fifth month he came to Jerusalem, according to the good hand of his God upon him. Ezra 7:9
For Ezra had directed his heart to seek the law of Jehovah and to do it, and to teach in Israel the statutes and the ordinances. Ezra 7:10
And this is the copy of the letter that king Artaxerxes gave to Ezra the priest, the scribe, a scribe of the words of the commandments of Jehovah, and of his statutes to Israel: Ezra 7:11
Artaxerxes, king of kings, to Ezra the priest, an accomplished scribe of the law of the God of the heavens, and so forth. Ezra 7:12
I have given orders that all they of the people of Israel, and of their priests and the Levites, in my realm, who are disposed to go to Jerusalem, go with thee. Ezra 7:13
Because thou art sent by the king, and by his seven counsellors, to inquire concerning Judah and Jerusalem, according to the law of thy God which is in thy hand; Ezra 7:14
and to carry the silver and gold which the king and his counsellors have freely offered to the God of Israel, whose habitation is at Jerusalem, Ezra 7:15
and all the silver and gold that thou canst find in all the province of Babylon, besides the voluntary offering of the people, and of the priests, who offer willingly for the house of their God which is at Jerusalem. Ezra 7:16
Therefore thou shalt buy diligently with this money bullocks, rams, lambs, with their oblations and their drink-offerings, and offer them upon the altar of the house of your God which is at Jerusalem. Ezra 7:17
And whatever shall seem good to thee and to thy brethren to do with the rest of the silver and the gold, that do according to the will of your God. Ezra 7:18
And the vessels that have been given thee for the service of the house of thy God, deliver before the God of Jerusalem. Ezra 7:19
And whatever more shall be needful for the house of thy God which thou shalt have occasion to bestow, bestow it out of the king's treasure house. Ezra 7:20
And I, I Artaxerxes the king, do give orders to all the treasurers that are beyond the river, that whatever Ezra the priest and scribe of the law of the God of the heavens shall require of you, it be done diligently, Ezra 7:21
Whatever is commanded by the God of the heavens, let it be carefully done for the house of the God of the heavens; for why should there be wrath against the realm of the king and his sons? Ezra 7:23
Also we inform you, as regards all the priests and Levites, singers, doorkeepers, Nethinim, and ministers of this house of God, it shall not be lawful to impose tribute, tax, and toll upon them. Ezra 7:24
And thou, Ezra, after the wisdom of thy God, which is in thy hand, set magistrates and judges who may judge all the people that are beyond the river, all such as know the laws of thy God; and teach ye him that knows them not. Ezra 7:25
And whosoever will not do the law of thy God and the law of the king, let judgment be executed diligently upon him, whether unto death, or to banishment, or to confiscation of goods, or to imprisonment. Ezra 7:26
Blessed be Jehovah the God of our fathers, who has put such a thing as this in the king's heart, to beautify the house of Jehovah which is at Jerusalem; Ezra 7:27
and has extended mercy to me before the king and his counsellors, and before all the king's mighty princes. And I was strengthened, as the hand of Jehovah my God was upon me; and I gathered together out of Israel chief men to go up with me. Ezra 7:28
And these are the chief fathers, and their genealogy, who went up with me from Babylon in the reign of Artaxerxes the king. Ezra 8:1
Of the children of Phinehas, Gershom; of the children of Ithamar, Daniel; of the children of David, Hattush; Ezra 8:2
of the children of Shecaniah, of the children of Parosh, Zechariah, and with him were registered by genealogy of the males a hundred and fifty. Ezra 8:3
Of the children of Pahath-Moab, Elihoenai the son of Zerahiah, and with him two hundred males. Ezra 8:4
Of the children of Shechaniah, the son of Jahaziel, and with him three hundred males. Ezra 8:5
And of the children of Adin, Ebed the son of Jonathan, and with him fifty males. Ezra 8:6
And of the children of Elam, Isaiah the son of Athaliah, and with him seventy males. Ezra 8:7
And of the children of Shephatiah, Zebadiah the son of Michael, and with him eighty males. Ezra 8:8
Of the children of Joab, Obadiah the son of Jehiel, and with him two hundred and eighteen males. Ezra 8:9
And of the children of Shelomith, the son of Josiphiah, and with him a hundred and sixty males. Ezra 8:10
And of the children of Bebai, Zechariah the son of Bebai, and with him twenty-eight males. Ezra 8:11
And of the children of Azgad, Johanan the son of Hakkatan, and with him a hundred and ten males. Ezra 8:12
And of the children of Adonikam, the last ones, whose names are these: Eliphelet, Jeiel, and Shemaiah, and with them sixty males. Ezra 8:13
And of the children of Bigvai, Uthai and Zabbud, and with them seventy males. Ezra 8:14
And I gathered them together at the river that runs to Ahava; and there we encamped three days; and I surveyed the people and the priests, and found none of the sons of Levi there. Ezra 8:15
And I gave them a commission to Iddo the chief, at the place Casiphia, and I put words in their mouths to say to Iddo and his brethren the Nethinim, at the place Casiphia, that they should bring to us ministers for the house of our God. Ezra 8:17
And by the good hand of our God upon us, they brought us a man of understanding, of the sons of Mahli, the son of Levi, the son of Israel, namely, Sherebiah, with his sons and his brethren, eighteen; Ezra 8:18
and Hashabiah, and with him Isaiah of the sons of Merari, his brethren and their sons, twenty; Ezra 8:19
and of the Nethinim, whom David and the princes had appointed for the service of the Levites, two hundred and twenty Nethinim: all of them were expressed by name. Ezra 8:20
And I proclaimed a fast there, at the river Ahava, that we might humble ourselves before our God, to seek of him a right way for us, and for our little ones, and for all our substance. Ezra 8:21
For I was ashamed to require of the king a band of soldiers and horsemen to help us against the enemy in the way; for we had spoken to the king saying, The hand of our God is upon all them for good that seek him; but his power and his anger is against all them that forsake him. Ezra 8:22
And I separated twelve of the chiefs of the priests, Sherebiah, Hashabiah, and ten of their brethren with them, Ezra 8:24
and I weighed to them the silver and the gold and the vessels, the heave-offering for the house of our God, which the king and his counsellors and his princes, and all Israel present, had offered. Ezra 8:25
And I said to them, Ye are holy unto Jehovah; the vessels also are holy; and the silver and the gold is a voluntary offering to Jehovah the God of your fathers. Ezra 8:28
Watch and keep them until ye weigh them before the chiefs of the priests and the Levites, and the chiefs of the fathers of Israel, at Jerusalem, in the chambers of the house of Jehovah. Ezra 8:29
And the priests and the Levites received by weight the silver and the gold and the vessels, to bring them to Jerusalem unto the house of our God. Ezra 8:30
And we departed from the river Ahava on the twelfth of the first month, to go to Jerusalem; and the hand of our God was upon us, and he delivered us from the hand of the enemy, and of such as lay in wait by the way. Ezra 8:31
And on the fourth day the silver and the gold and the vessels were weighed in the house of our God into the hand of Meremoth the son of Urijah the priest; and with him was Eleazar the son of Phinehas; and with them were Jozabad the son of Jeshua, and Noadiah the son of Binnui, Levites: Ezra 8:33
the whole by number and by weight; and all the weight was written down at that time. Ezra 8:34
The children of those that had been carried away, who had come out of the captivity, presented burnt-offerings to the God of Israel, twelve bullocks for all Israel, ninety-six rams, seventy-seven lambs, twelve he-goats for a sin-offering: all for a burnt-offering to Jehovah. Ezra 8:35
And they delivered the king's edicts to the king's satraps, and to the governors on this side the river. And they furthered the people and the house of God. Ezra 8:36
Now when these things were completed, the princes came to me, saying, The people of Israel, and the priests and the Levites, have not separated themselves from the peoples of the lands, according to their abominations, even of the Canaanites, the Hittites, the Perizzites, the Jebusites, the Ammonites, the Moabites, the Egyptians, and the Amorites; Ezra 9:1
for they have taken of their daughters for themselves and for their sons, and have mingled the holy seed with the peoples of the lands; and the hand of the princes and rulers has been chief in this unfaithfulness. Ezra 9:2
And when I heard this thing, I rent my mantle and my garment, and plucked off the hair of my head and of my beard, and sat down overwhelmed. Ezra 9:3
Then were assembled to me every one that trembled at the words of the God of Israel, because of the unfaithfulness of those that had been carried away; and I sat overwhelmed until the evening oblation. Ezra 9:4
And at the evening oblation I arose up from my humiliation; and with my mantle and my garment rent, I fell on my knees, and spread out my hands to Jehovah my God, Ezra 9:5
and said: O my God, I am ashamed and blush to lift up my face to thee, my God; for our iniquities are increased over our head, and our trespass is grown up to the heavens. Ezra 9:6
Since the days of our fathers, we have been in great trespass to this day; and for our iniquities we, our kings, our priests, have been given into the hand of the kings of the lands, to the sword, and to captivity, and to spoil, and to confusion of face, as it is this day. Ezra 9:7
For we are bondmen; yet our God hath not forsaken us in our bondage, but hath extended mercy unto us before the kings of Persia, to give us a reviving, to set up the house of our God and to repair the ruins thereof, and to give us a wall in Judah and in Jerusalem. Ezra 9:9
which thou hast commanded by thy servants the prophets, saying, The land, unto which ye go to possess it, is an unclean land through the filthiness of the peoples of the lands, through their abominations with which they have filled it from one end to another through their uncleanness. Ezra 9:11
Now therefore give not your daughters to their sons, neither take their daughters to your sons, nor seek their peace or their prosperity for ever; that ye may be strong, and eat the good of the land, and leave it for an inheritance to your children for ever. Ezra 9:12
should we again break thy commandments, and join in affinity with the peoples of these abominations? wouldest thou not be angry with us till thou hadst consumed us, so that there should be no remnant nor any to escape? Ezra 9:14
And while Ezra prayed, and made confession, weeping and falling down before the house of God, there were gathered to him out of Israel a very great congregation of men and women and children; for the people wept very much. Ezra 10:1
And Shechaniah the son of Jehiel, of the sons of Elam, answered and said to Ezra, We have acted unfaithfully toward our God, and have taken foreign wives of the peoples of the land; yet now there is hope for Israel concerning this thing. Ezra 10:2
And now let us make a covenant with our God to put away all the wives, and such as are born of them, according to the counsel of my lord, and of those that tremble at the commandments of our God; and let it be done according to the law. Ezra 10:3
Then Ezra arose, and made the chiefs of the priests, of the Levites, and of all Israel, to swear that they would do according to this word. And they swore. Ezra 10:5
And Ezra arose from before the house of God, and went into the chamber of Jehohanan the son of Eliashib; and when he came thither, he ate no bread and drank no water; for he mourned because of the unfaithfulness of them that had been carried away. Ezra 10:6
And they made proclamation in Judah and Jerusalem to all the children of the captivity, that they should gather themselves together unto Jerusalem; Ezra 10:7
and that whosoever would not come within three days, according to the counsel of the princes and the elders, all his substance should be confiscated, and himself separated from the congregation of those that had been carried away. Ezra 10:8
Then were all the men of Judah and Benjamin gathered together at Jerusalem within three days. It was the ninth month, on the twentieth of the month; and all the people sat in the open space of the house of God, trembling because of the matter, and because of the pouring rain. Ezra 10:9
And Ezra the priest stood up and said to them, Ye have acted unfaithfully, and have taken foreign wives, to increase the trespass of Israel. Ezra 10:10
And now make confession to Jehovah the God of your fathers, and do his pleasure, and separate yourselves from the peoples of the land, and from the foreign wives. Ezra 10:11
And the whole congregation answered and said with a loud voice, Yes, it is for us to do according to thy words. Ezra 10:12
But the people are many, and it is a time of pouring rain, and it is not possible to stand without: neither is this a work for one day or two; for we are many that have transgressed in this thing. Ezra 10:13
Let now our princes, while this matter is going on, stand for all the congregation, and let all those that have taken foreign wives in our cities come at the appointed times, and with them the elders of every city, and the judges thereof, until the fierce anger of our God be turned from us. Ezra 10:14
Only Jonathan the son of Asahel and Jahzeiah the son of Tikvah stood up against this; and Meshullam and Shabbethai the Levite helped them. Ezra 10:15
And the children of the captivity did so. And Ezra the priest and certain of the chief fathers were separated according to their fathers' houses, and all of them expressed by name; and they sat down on the first day of the tenth month to examine the matter. Ezra 10:16
And they ended with all the men that had taken foreign wives by the first day of the first month. Ezra 10:17
And among the sons of the priests there were found that had taken foreign wives, of the sons of Jeshua the son of Jozadak, and his brethren: Maaseiah, and Eliezer, and Jarib, and Gedaliah. Ezra 10:18

The words of Nehemiah the son of Hachaliah. And it came to pass in the month Chislev, in the twentieth year, as I was in Shushan the fortress, Neh. 1:1
that Hanani, one of my brethren, came, he and certain men of Judah. And I asked them concerning the Jews that had escaped, who were left of the captivity, and concerning Jerusalem. Neh. 1:2
And they said to me, Those who remain, that are left of the captivity there in the province, are in great affliction and reproach; and the wall of Jerusalem is in ruins, and its gates are burned with fire. Neh. 1:3
And it came to pass, when I heard these words, that I sat and wept, and mourned for days, and fasted, and prayed before the God of the heavens, Neh. 1:4
and said, I beseech thee, Jehovah, God of the heavens, the great and terrible *God, that keepeth covenant and mercy for them that love him and keep his commandments. Neh. 1:5
Let thine ear now be attentive, and thine eyes open, to hear the prayer of thy servant, which I pray before thee at this time, day and night, for the children of Israel thy servants, confessing the sins of the children of Israel, which we have sinned against thee: both I and my father's house have sinned. Neh. 1:6
We have acted very perversely against thee, and have not kept the commandments, nor the statutes, nor the ordinances that thou commandedst thy servant Moses. Neh. 1:7
Remember, I beseech thee, the word that thou commandedst thy servant Moses, saying, If ye act unfaithfully, I will scatter you among the peoples; Neh. 1:8
but if ye return to me, and keep my commandments and do them, though there were of you cast out unto the uttermost part of the heavens, yet will I gather them from thence, and will bring them unto the place that I have chosen to set my name there. Neh. 1:9
O Lord, I beseech thee, let now thine ear be attentive to the prayer of thy servant, and to the prayer of thy servants who delight to fear thy name; and prosper, I pray thee, thy servant this day, and grant him mercy in the sight of this man. Now I was the king's cupbearer. Neh. 1:11
And it came to pass in the month Nisan, in the twentieth year of Artaxerxes the king, that wine was before him, and I took up the wine and gave it to the king. Now, I had never been sad in his presence. Neh. 2:1
And the king said to me, Why is thy face sad, seeing thou art not sick? this is nothing else but sadness of heart. And I was very sore afraid. Neh. 2:2
And I said to the king, Let the king live for ever! Why should not my countenance be sad, when the city, the place of my fathers' sepulchres, lies waste, and its gates are consumed with fire? Neh. 2:3
And the king said to me, For what dost thou make request? So I prayed to the God of the heavens. Neh. 2:4
And I said to the king, If it please the king, and if thy servant have found favour in thy sight, that thou wouldest send me to Judah, to the city of my fathers' sepulchres, that I may build it. Neh. 2:5
And the king said to me -- the queen also sitting by him, -- For how long shall thy journey be, and when wilt thou return? And it pleased the king to send me; and I set him a time. Neh. 2:6
And I said to the king, If it please the king, let letters be given me to the governors beyond the river, that they may set me forward till I come into Judah; Neh. 2:7
and a letter to Asaph the keeper of the king's forest, that he may give me timber to make beams for the gates of the palace which appertains to the house, and for the wall of the city, and for the house that I shall enter into. And the king granted me, according to the good hand of my God upon me. Neh. 2:8
And I came to the governors beyond the river, and gave them the king's letters. Now the king had sent captains of a force and horsemen with me. Neh. 2:9
And when Sanballat the Horonite, and Tobijah the servant, the Ammonite, heard of it, it grieved them exceedingly that there had come a man to seek the welfare of the children of Israel. Neh. 2:10
And I arose in the night, I and some few men with me -- but I told no man what my God had put in my heart to do for Jerusalem -- and there was no beast with me, except the beast that I rode upon. Neh. 2:12
And I went out by night by the valley-gate, even toward the jackal-fountain, and to the dung-gate; and I viewed the walls of Jerusalem, which were in ruins, and its gates were consumed with fire. Neh. 2:13
And I went on to the fountain-gate, and to the king's pool; and there was no place for the beast under me to pass. Neh. 2:14
And I went up in the night through the valley, and viewed the wall, and turned back, and entered by the valley-gate and returned. Neh. 2:15
And the rulers did not know whither I went or what I did, for I had not as yet told it to the Jews, nor to the priests, nor to the nobles, nor to the rulers, nor to the rest that did the work. Neh. 2:16
And I said to them, Ye see the distress that we are in, that Jerusalem lies waste, and its gates are burned with fire. Come, and let us build up the wall of Jerusalem, that we be no more a reproach. Neh. 2:17
And I told them of the hand of my God which had been good upon me; as also of the king's words which he had said unto me. And they said, Let us rise up and build. And they strengthened their hands for the good work. Neh. 2:18
And Sanballat the Horonite, and Tobijah the servant, the Ammonite, and Geshem the Arabian, heard it; and they mocked us and despised us, and said, What is this thing which ye do? will ye rebel against the king? Neh. 2:19
And I answered them, and said to them, The God of the heavens, he will prosper us, and we his servants will arise and build; but ye have no portion, nor right, nor memorial in Jerusalem. Neh. 2:20
And Eliashib the high priest rose up with his brethren the priests, and they built the sheep-gate. They hallowed it, and set up its doors; and they hallowed it even to the tower of Meah, to the tower of Hananeel. Neh. 3:1
And next to them built the men of Jericho. And next to them built Zaccur the son of Imri. Neh. 3:2
And the fish-gate did the sons of Senaah build: they laid its beams, and set up its doors, its locks and its bars. Neh. 3:3
And next to them repaired Meremoth the son of Urijah, the son of Koz. And next to them repaired Meshullam the son of Berechiah, the son of Meshezabeel. And next to them repaired Zadok the son of Baana. Neh. 3:4
And next to them the Tekoites repaired; but their nobles put not their necks to the work of their Lord. Neh. 3:5
And the gate of the old wall repaired Jehoiada the son of Paseah, and Meshullam the son of Besodiah; they laid its beams, and set up its doors, and its locks, and its bars. Neh. 3:6
And next to them repaired Melatiah the Gibeonite, and Jadon the Meronothite, the men of Gibeon and of Mizpah, to the seat of the governor on this side the river. Neh. 3:7
Next to them repaired Uzziel the son of Harhaiah, of the goldsmiths; and next to him repaired Hananiah of the perfumers, and they left Jerusalem in its state as far as the broad wall. Neh. 3:8

And next to them repaired Shallum the son of Hallohesh, the ruler of the half part of Jerusalem, he and his daughters. Neh. 3:12
The valley-gate repaired Hanun, and the inhabitants of Zanoah; they built it, and set up its doors, its locks and its bars, and a thousand cubits of the wall as far as the dung-gate. Neh. 3:13
And the dung-gate repaired Malchijah the son of Rechab, the chief of the district of Beth-haccerem; he built it, and set up its doors, its locks and its bars. Neh. 3:14
And the fountain-gate repaired Shallun the son of Colhozeh, the chief of the district of Mizpah; he built it, and covered it, and set up its doors, its locks and its bars, and the wall of the pool of Shelah by the king's garden, and to the stairs that go down from the city of David. Neh. 3:15
After him repaired Nehemiah the son of Azbuk, the chief of the half district of Beth-zur, even over against the sepulchres of David, and to the pool that was made, and to the house of the mighty men. Neh. 3:16

After him repaired their brethren, Bavvai the son of Henadad, the chief of the half district of Keilah. Neh. 3:18
And next to him repaired Ezer the son of Jeshua, the ruler of Mizpah, a second piece over against the going up to the armoury at the angle. Neh. 3:19
After him Baruch the son of Zabbai earnestly repaired another piece, from the angle to the entry of the house of Eliashib the high priest. Neh. 3:20
After him repaired Meremoth the son of Urijah, the son of Koz, another piece, from the door of the house of Eliashib as far as the end of the house of Eliashib. Neh. 3:21
And after him repaired the priests, the men of the plain of Jordan. Neh. 3:22
After them repaired Benjamin and Hasshub over against their house. After them repaired Azariah the son of Maaseiah, the son of Ananiah, by his house. Neh. 3:23
After him repaired Binnui the son of Henadad another piece, from the house of Azariah to the angle, as far as the corner. Neh. 3:24
Palal the son of Uzai, over against the angle, and the high tower that lies out from the king's house, which was by the court of the prison. After him, Pedaiah the son of Parosh. Neh. 3:25
(Now the Nethinim dwelt in Ophel, even over against the water-gate toward the east, and the tower which lies out.) Neh. 3:26
After him the Tekoites repaired a second piece, over against the great tower which lies out, as far as the wall of Ophel. Neh. 3:27
From above the horse-gate repaired the priests, every one over against his house. Neh. 3:28
After them repaired Zadok the son of Immer over against his house. And after him repaired also Shemaiah the son of Shechaniah, the keeper of the east gate. Neh. 3:29

And between the ascent of the corner and the sheep-gate repaired the goldsmiths and the dealers. Neh. 3:32
And it came to pass that when Sanballat heard that we built the wall, he was angry and very indignant, and mocked the Jews. Neh. 4:1
And he spoke before his brethren and the army of Samaria, and said, What do these feeble Jews? shall they be permitted to go on? Will they offer sacrifices? Will they finish in a day? Will they revive the stones out of the heaps of rubbish, when they are burned? Neh. 4:2
And Tobijah the Ammonite was by him, and he said, Even that which they build, if a fox went up, it would break down their stone wall. -- Neh. 4:3
And cover not their iniquity, and let not their sin be blotted out from before thee; for they have provoked the builders. Neh. 4:5
But we built the wall; and all the wall was joined together to the half thereof; for the people had a mind to work. Neh. 4:6
And it came to pass, when Sanballat, and Tobijah, and the Arabians, and the Ammonites, and the Ashdodites heard that the walls of Jerusalem were being repaired, that the breaches began to be stopped, then they were very wroth, Neh. 4:7
And Judah said, The strength of the bearers of burdens faileth, and there is much rubbish; so that we are not able to build at the wall. Neh. 4:10
And our adversaries said, They shall not know, neither see, till we come into the midst of them and kill them, and put an end to the work. Neh. 4:11
And it came to pass that when the Jews that dwelt by them came and told us so ten times, from all the places whence they returned to us, Neh. 4:12
I set in the lower places behind the wall in exposed places, I even set the people, according to their families, with their swords, their spears and their bows. Neh. 4:13
And I looked, and rose up, and said to the nobles, and to the rulers, and to the rest of the people, Be not afraid of them: remember the Lord who is great and terrible, and fight for your brethren, your sons and your daughters, your wives and your houses. Neh. 4:14
And it came to pass that when our enemies heard that it was known to us, and that God had defeated their counsel, we returned all of us to the wall, every one to his work. Neh. 4:15
And from that time forth the half of my servants wrought in the work, and the other half of them held the spears, and the shields, and the bows, and the corslets; and the captains were behind all the house of Judah. Neh. 4:16
They that built on the wall, and they that bore burdens, with those that loaded, wrought in the work with one hand, and with the other they held a weapon. Neh. 4:17
And the builders had every one his sword girded by his side, and built. And he that sounded the trumpet was by me. Neh. 4:18
And I said to the nobles, and to the rulers, and to the rest of the people, The work is great and extended, and we are scattered upon the wall, one far from another: Neh. 4:19
in what place ye hear the sound of the trumpet, thither shall ye assemble to us; our God will fight for us. Neh. 4:20
And we laboured in the work; and half of them held the spears from the rising of the dawn till the stars appeared. Neh. 4:21
Likewise at the same time I said to the people, Let every one with his servant lodge within Jerusalem, that in the night they may be a guard to us, and be for labour in the day. Neh. 4:22
And neither I, nor my brethren, nor my servants, nor the men of the guard that followed me, none of us put off our garments: every one had his weapon on his right side. Neh. 4:23
And there was a great cry of the people and of their wives against their brethren the Jews. Neh. 5:1
And there were that said, We have had to pledge our fields, and our vineyards, and our houses, that we might procure corn in the dearth. Neh. 5:3
And there were that said, We have borrowed money for the king's tribute upon our fields and vineyards; Neh. 5:4
yet now our flesh is as the flesh of our brethren, our children as their children; and behold, we must bring into bondage our sons and our daughters to be servants, and some of our daughters are brought into bondage already; neither is it in the power of our hand to redeem them, for other men have our fields and our vineyards. Neh. 5:5
And I consulted with myself; and I remonstrated with the nobles and the rulers, and said to them, Ye exact usury, every one of his brother! And I set a great assembly against them. Neh. 5:7
And I said to them, We, according to our ability, have redeemed our brethren the Jews, who were sold to the nations; and will ye even sell your brethren? or shall they be sold unto us? And they were silent and found no answer. Neh. 5:8
And I said, The thing that ye do is not good. Ought ye not to walk in the fear of our God, so as not to be the reproach of the nations our enemies? Neh. 5:9
Restore, I pray you, to them this very day their fields, their vineyards, their olive-gardens, and their houses, also the hundredth part of the money, and of the corn, the wine and the oil, that ye have exacted of them. Neh. 5:11
And they said, We will restore them, and will require nothing of them; so will we do, as thou hast said. And I called the priests, and took an oath of them, that they should do according to this promise. Neh. 5:12
Also I shook my lap, and said, So God shake out every man from his house and from his earnings, that performeth not this promise: even thus be he shaken out and emptied! And all the congregation said, Amen! And they praised Jehovah. And the people did according to this promise. Neh. 5:13
Moreover from the time that I was appointed to be their governor in the land of Judah, from the twentieth year even to the thirty-second year of Artaxerxes the king, twelve years, I and my brethren have not eaten the bread of the governor. Neh. 5:14
But the former governors that were before me had been chargeable to the people, and had taken of them bread and wine, besides forty shekels of silver: even their servants bore rule over the people. But I did not so, because of the fear of God. Neh. 5:15
Yea, also I applied myself to this work of the wall, and we bought no fields; and all my servants were gathered thither for the work. Neh. 5:16
And there were at my table a hundred and fifty of the Jews and the rulers, besides those that came to us from among the nations that were about us. Neh. 5:17
And that which was prepared daily was one ox and six choice sheep; also fowls were prepared for me, and once in ten days all sorts of wine in abundance. Yet for all this I demanded not the bread of the governor; for the service was heavy upon this people. Neh. 5:18
And it came to pass when Sanballat, and Tobijah, and Geshem the Arabian, and the rest of our enemies, heard that I had built the wall, and that there was no breach left in it (though at that time I had not set up the doors in the gates), Neh. 6:1
that Sanballat and Geshem sent to me, saying, Come, let us meet together in the villages in the plain of Ono. But they thought to do me mischief. Neh. 6:2
And I sent messengers to them, saying, I am doing a great work, and I cannot come down. Why should the work cease, whilst I leave it and come down to you? Neh. 6:3
And they sent to me four times after this sort; and I answered them in the same manner. Neh. 6:4
Then sent Sanballat his servant to me in this manner the fifth time, with an open letter in his hand, Neh. 6:5
in which was written: It is reported among the nations, and Gashmu says it, that thou and the Jews think to rebel, for which cause thou buildest the wall, and according to these words thou wilt become their king. Neh. 6:6
And thou hast also appointed prophets to proclaim concerning thee at Jerusalem saying, There is a king in Judah! And now it will be reported to the king according to these words. Come now therefore, and let us take counsel together. Neh. 6:7
For they all would have made us afraid, saying, Their hands shall be slackened from the work, that it be not carried out. -- Now therefore strengthen my hands! Neh. 6:9
And I came to the house of Shemaiah the son of Delaiah, the son of Mehetabeel, who had shut himself up. And he said, Let us meet together in the house of God, within the temple, and let us shut the doors of the temple; for they are coming to kill thee; even in the night are they coming to kill thee. Neh. 6:10
And I said, Should such a man as I flee? and who is there, that, being as I am, could go into the temple, and live? I will not go in. Neh. 6:11
My God, remember Tobijah and Sanballat according to these their works, and also the prophetess Noadiah, and the rest of the prophets who would have put me in fear. Neh. 6:14
So the wall was finished on the twenty-fifth of Elul, in fifty-two days. Neh. 6:15
And it came to pass that when all our enemies heard of it, all the nations that were about us were afraid and were much cast down in their own eyes, and they perceived that this work was wrought by our God. Neh. 6:16
Moreover in those days the nobles of Judah sent many letters to Tobijah, and those of Tobijah came to them. Neh. 6:17
For there were many in Judah sworn to him; for he was a son-in-law of Shechaniah the son of Arah; and his son Johanan had taken the daughter of Meshullam the son of Berechiah. Neh. 6:18
And it came to pass when the wall was built, and I had set up the doors, that the doorkeepers and the singers and the Levites were appointed. Neh. 7:1
And I gave my brother Hanani, and Hananiah the ruler of the citadel, charge over Jerusalem; for he was a faithful man and feared God above many. Neh. 7:2
And I said to them that the gates of Jerusalem should not be opened until the sun was hot, and that they should shut the doors and bar them while they stood by; and that there should be appointed watches of the inhabitants of Jerusalem, every one in his watch, and every one over against his house. Neh. 7:3
Now the city was large and great; but the people in it were few, and no houses were built. Neh. 7:4
And my God put into my heart to gather together the nobles, and the rulers, and the people, for registration by genealogy. And I found a genealogical register of those that had come up at the first, and I found written in it: Neh. 7:5
These are the children of the province that went up out of the captivity of those that had been carried away, whom Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon had carried away, and who came again to Jerusalem and to Judah, every one to his city; Neh. 7:6
those who came with Zerubbabel, Jeshua, Nehemiah, Azariah, Raamiah, Nahamani, Mordecai, Bilshan, Mispereth, Bigvai, Nehum, Baanah. The number of the men of the people of Israel: Neh. 7:7

the children of Barkos, the children of Sisera, the children of Thamah, Neh. 7:55
the children of Neziah, the children of Hatipha. Neh. 7:56
The children of Solomon's servants: the children of Sotai, the children of Sophereth, the children of Perida, Neh. 7:57
the children of Jaala, the children of Darkon, the children of Giddel, Neh. 7:58
the children of Shephatiah, the children of Hattil, the children of Pochereth-Hazzebaim, the children of Amon. Neh. 7:59
All the Nethinim, and the children of Solomon's servants, three hundred and ninety-two. Neh. 7:60
The children of Delaiah, the children of Tobijah, the children of Nekoda, six hundred and forty-two. Neh. 7:62
And of the priests: the children of Hobaiah, the children of Koz, the children of Barzillai, who took a wife of the daughters of Barzillai the Gileadite and was called after their name. Neh. 7:63
These sought their genealogical register, but it was not found; therefore were they, as polluted, removed from the priesthood. Neh. 7:64
And the Tirshatha said to them that they should not eat of the most holy things, till there stood up the priest with Urim and Thummim. Neh. 7:65
The whole congregation together was forty-two thousand three hundred and sixty, Neh. 7:66
the camels, four hundred and thirty-five; the asses, six thousand seven hundred and twenty. Neh. 7:69
And some of the chief fathers gave to the work. The Tirshatha gave to the treasure a thousand darics of gold, fifty basons, five hundred and thirty priests' coats. Neh. 7:70
And some of the chief fathers gave to the treasure of the work twenty thousand darics of gold, and two thousand two hundred pounds of silver. Neh. 7:71
And that which the rest of the people gave was twenty thousand darics of gold, and two thousand pounds of silver, and sixty-seven priests' coats. Neh. 7:72
And the priests, and the Levites, and the doorkeepers, and the singers, and some of the people, and the Nethinim, and all Israel, dwelt in their cities. And when the seventh month came, and the children of Israel were in their cities, Neh. 7:73
all the people gathered together as one man to the open place that was before the water-gate; and they spoke to Ezra the scribe to bring the book of the law of Moses, which Jehovah had commanded Israel. Neh. 8:1
And Ezra the priest brought the law before the congregation, both of men and women, and all that could hear with understanding, on the first day of the seventh month. Neh. 8:2
And he read in it before the open place that was before the water-gate from the morning until midday, in presence of the men and the women, and those that could understand. And the ears of all the people were attentive to the book of the law. Neh. 8:3
And Ezra the scribe stood upon a high stage of wood, which they had made for the purpose. And beside him stood Mattithiah, and Shema, and Anaiah, and Urijah, and Hilkijah, and Maaseiah on his right hand; and on his left hand, Pedaiah, and Mishael, and Malchijah, and Hashum, and Hashbaddana, Zechariah, Meshullam. Neh. 8:4
And Ezra opened the book in the sight of all the people, for he was above all the people; and when he opened it, all the people stood up. Neh. 8:5
And Ezra blessed Jehovah, the great God; and all the people answered, Amen, Amen! with lifting up of their hands; and they bowed their heads, and worshipped Jehovah with their faces to the ground. Neh. 8:6
And Jeshua, and Bani, and Sherebiah, Jamin, Akkub, Shabbethai, Hodijah, Maaseiah, Kelita, Azariah, Jozabad, Hanan, Pelaiah, and the Levites, caused the people to understand the law; and the people stood in their place. Neh. 8:7
And they read in the law of God distinctly out of the book, and gave the sense, and caused them to understand the reading. Neh. 8:8
And Nehemiah, that is, the Tirshatha, and Ezra the priest the scribe, and the Levites that explained to the people, said to all the people, This day is holy to Jehovah your God: mourn not, nor weep. For all the people wept when they heard the words of the law. Neh. 8:9
And he said to them, Go your way, eat the fat, and drink the sweet, and send portions to them for whom nothing is prepared; for the day is holy to our Lord; and be not grieved, for the joy of Jehovah is your strength. Neh. 8:10
And the Levites quieted all the people, saying, Be still! for the day is holy; neither be grieved. Neh. 8:11
And all the people went their way, to eat and to drink, and to send portions, and to make great rejoicing. For they had understood the words that were declared to them. Neh. 8:12
And on the second day were gathered together the chief fathers of all the people, the priests, and the Levites, to Ezra the scribe, even to gain wisdom as to the words of the law. Neh. 8:13
And they found written in the law which Jehovah had commanded through Moses, that the children of Israel should dwell in booths in the feast of the seventh month, Neh. 8:14
and that they should publish and proclaim through all their cities, and at Jerusalem, saying, Go forth to the mount, and fetch olive-branches, and wild olive-branches, and myrtle-branches, and palm-branches, and branches of thick trees, to make booths, as it is written. Neh. 8:15
And the people went forth and brought them, and made themselves booths, everyone upon the roof of his house, and in their courts, and in the courts of the house of God, and in the open space of the water-gate, and in the open space of the gate of Ephraim. Neh. 8:16
And all the congregation of them that had come back from the captivity made booths, and dwelt in the booths. For since the days of Jeshua the son of Nun until that day had not the children of Israel done so. And there was very great gladness. Neh. 8:17
Also day by day, from the first day to the last day, he read in the book of the law of God. And they observed the feast seven days; and on the eighth day was a solemn assembly, according to the ordinance. Neh. 8:18
And on the twenty-fourth day of this month the children of Israel were assembled with fasting, and with sackclothes, and earth upon them. Neh. 9:1
And the seed of Israel separated themselves from all foreigners, and stood and confessed their sins, and the iniquities of their fathers. Neh. 9:2
And they stood up in their place, and read in the book of the law of Jehovah their God a fourth part of the day; and a fourth part they confessed, and worshipped Jehovah their God. Neh. 9:3
Then stood up upon the platform of the Levites, Jeshua, and Bani, Kadmiel, Shebaniah, Bunni, Sherebiah, Bani, Chenani, and cried with a loud voice to Jehovah their God. Neh. 9:4
And the Levites, Jeshua, and Kadmiel, Bani, Hashabniah, Sherebiah, Hodijah, Shebaniah, Pethahiah, said, Stand up, bless Jehovah your God from eternity to eternity. And let men bless the name of thy glory, which is exalted above all blessing and praise. Neh. 9:5
Thou art the Same, thou alone, Jehovah, who hast made the heaven of heavens, and all their host, the earth and all that is therein, the seas and all that is therein. And thou quickenest them all; and the host of heaven worshippeth thee. Neh. 9:6
Thou art the Same, Jehovah Elohim, who didst choose Abram and broughtest him forth out of Ur of the Chaldees, and gavest him the name of Abraham; Neh. 9:7
and foundest his heart faithful before thee, and madest the covenant with him to give the land of the Canaanites, the Hittites, the Amorites, and the Perizzites, and the Jebusites, and the Girgashites, -- to give it to his seed; and thou hast performed thy words, for thou art righteous. Neh. 9:8
And thou sawest the affliction of our fathers in Egypt, and heardest their cry by the Red Sea; Neh. 9:9
and didst shew signs and wonders upon Pharaoh, and upon all his servants, and upon all the people of his land; for thou knewest that they dealt proudly against them, and thou didst make thee a name, as it is this day. Neh. 9:10
And thou didst divide the sea before them, and they went through the midst of the sea on dry ground; and their pursuers thou threwest into the depths, as a stone into the mighty waters. Neh. 9:11
And thou leddest them in the day by a pillar of cloud, and in the night by a pillar of fire, to give them light in the way wherein they should go. Neh. 9:12
And thou camest down on mount Sinai, and didst speak with them from the heavens, and gavest them right judgments and true laws, good statutes and commandments. Neh. 9:13
And thou gavest them bread from the heavens for their hunger, and broughtest forth water for them out of the rock for their thirst, and didst say to them that they should go in to possess the land which thou hadst sworn to give them. Neh. 9:15
yet thou in thy manifold mercies forsookest them not in the wilderness. The pillar of the cloud departed not from over them by day, to lead them on the way; neither the pillar of fire by night, to shew them light, and the way wherein they should go. Neh. 9:19
Yea, forty years didst thou sustain them in the wilderness; they lacked nothing; their clothes grew not old, and their feet swelled not. Neh. 9:21
And thou gavest them kingdoms and peoples, and didst divide them by countries; and they possessed the land of Sihon, as well the land of the king of Heshbon, as the land of Og king of Bashan. Neh. 9:22
And their children thou didst multiply as the stars of heaven, and thou broughtest them into the land concerning which thou didst say to their fathers that they should go in to possess it. Neh. 9:23
And the children went in and possessed the land; and thou subduedst before them the inhabitants of the land, the Canaanites, and gavest them into their hands, both their kings and the peoples of the land, that they might do with them as they would. Neh. 9:24
And thou gavest them into the hand of their oppressors, and they oppressed them; and in the time of their distress, when they cried unto thee, thou heardest them from the heavens, and according to thy manifold mercies thou gavest them saviours, who saved them out of the hand of their oppressors. Neh. 9:27
But when they had rest, they did evil again before thee; and thou didst leave them in the hand of their enemies, and they had dominion over them; and again they cried unto thee, and thou heardest them from the heavens, and many times didst thou deliver them, according to thy mercies. Neh. 9:28
And thou testifiedst against them, that thou mightest bring them again unto thy law; but they dealt proudly, and hearkened not unto thy commandments, but sinned against thine ordinances (which if a man do, he shall live in them); and they withdrew the shoulder, and hardened their neck, and would not hear. Neh. 9:29
And many years didst thou forbear with them, and testifiedst against them by thy Spirit through thy prophets; but they would not give ear: and thou gavest them into the hand of the peoples of the lands. Neh. 9:30
And now, our God, the great, the mighty, and the terrible *God, who keepest covenant and loving-kindness, let not all the trouble seem little before thee, that hath come upon us, on our kings, on our princes, and on our priests, and on our prophets, and on our fathers, and on all thy people, since the days of the kings of Assyria unto this day. Neh. 9:32
And they have not served thee in their kingdom, and in thy great goodness that thou gavest them, and in the large and fat land that thou didst set before them, neither turned they from their wicked works. Neh. 9:35
Behold, we are servants this day, and the land that thou gavest unto our fathers to eat the fruit thereof and the good thereof, behold, we are bondmen in it. Neh. 9:36
And it yieldeth much increase unto the kings whom thou hast set over us because of our sins: and they have dominion over our bodies, and over our cattle, at their pleasure; and we are in great distress. Neh. 9:37
And because of all this we make a sure covenant, and write it; and our princes, our Levites, and our priests are at the sealing. Neh. 9:38
And at the head of those that sealed were Nehemiah the Tirshatha, the son of Hachaliah, and Zedekiah. Neh. 10:1
Maaziah, Bilgai, Shemaiah: these were the priests. Neh. 10:8
-- And the Levites: Jeshua the son of Azaniah; Binnui, of the sons of Henadad; Kadmiel, Neh. 10:9
-- The chief of the people: Parosh, Pahath-Moab, Elam, Zatthu, Bani, Neh. 10:14
And the rest of the people, the priests, the Levites, the doorkeepers, the singers, the Nethinim, and all they that had separated themselves from the peoples of the lands to the law of God, their wives, their sons and their daughters, every one having knowledge and having understanding, Neh. 10:28
joined with their brethren, their nobles, and entered into a curse and into an oath, to walk in the law of God, which had been given by Moses the servant of God, and to keep and do all the commandments of Jehovah our Lord, and his ordinances and his statutes; Neh. 10:29
and that we would not give our daughters to the peoples of the land, nor take their daughters for our sons: Neh. 10:30
and that if the peoples of the land brought wares or any grain on the sabbath day to sell, we would not take it of them on the sabbath, or on any holy day; and that we would leave the land uncultivated the seventh year, and the exaction of every debt. Neh. 10:31
And we made ordinances for us, to charge ourselves yearly with the third part of a shekel for the service of the house of our God, Neh. 10:32
for the bread to be set in rows, and for the continual oblation, and for the continual burnt-offering, for that of the sabbaths and of the new moons, for the set feasts and for the holy things, and for the sin-offerings to make an atonement for Israel, and for all the work of the house of our God. Neh. 10:33
And we cast the lots among the priests, the Levites, and the people, for the wood-offering, to bring it into the house of our God, according to our fathers' houses, at times appointed year by year, to burn upon the altar of Jehovah our God, as it is written in the law; Neh. 10:34
and to bring the first-fruits of our land, and the first-fruits of all fruit of all trees, year by year to the house of Jehovah, Neh. 10:35
and the firstborn of our sons and of our cattle, as it is written in the law; and to bring the firstlings of our herds and of our flocks to the house of our God, to the priests that minister in the house of our God; Neh. 10:36
and that we should bring the first-fruits of our coarse meal and our heave-offerings, and the fruit of all manner of trees, new wine and oil, to the priests, into the chambers of the house of our God, and the tithes of our ground to the Levites, that they, the Levites, should take the tithes in all the cities of our tillage. Neh. 10:37
And the priest the son of Aaron shall be with the Levites, when the Levites take tithes; and the Levites shall bring up the tithe of the tithes to the house of our God, into the chambers of the treasure-house. Neh. 10:38
For the children of Israel and the children of Levi shall bring the heave-offering of the corn, of the new wine and the oil, into the chambers, where are the vessels of the sanctuary, and the priests that minister, and the doorkeepers and the singers. And we will not forsake the house of our God. Neh. 10:39
And the princes of the people dwelt in Jerusalem; and the rest of the people cast lots, to bring one of ten to dwell in Jerusalem, the holy city, and nine parts in the cities. Neh. 11:1
And the people blessed all the men that willingly offered themselves to dwell in Jerusalem. Neh. 11:2
And these are the chiefs of the province that dwelt in Jerusalem; but in the cities of Judah dwelt every one in his possession in their cities, Israel, the priests, and the Levites, and the Nethinim, and the children of Solomon's servants. Neh. 11:3
And in Jerusalem dwelt some of the children of Judah and of the children of Benjamin. Of the children of Judah: Athaiah the son of Uzziah, the son of Zechariah, the son of Amariah, the son of Shephatiah, the son of Mahalaleel, of the children of Pherez; Neh. 11:4
and Maaseiah the son of Baruch, the son of Col-hozeh, the son of Hazaiah, the son of Adaiah, the son of Joiarib, the son of Zechariah, the son of Shiloni. Neh. 11:5
All the children of Pherez that dwelt in Jerusalem were four hundred and sixty-eight valiant men. Neh. 11:6
And these are the children of Benjamin: Sallu the son of Meshullam, the son of Joed, the son of Pedaiah, the son of Kolaiah, the son of Maaseiah, the son of Ithiel, the son of Isaiah; Neh. 11:7
and Joel the son of Zicri was their overseer, and Judah the son of Senuah was second over the city. Neh. 11:9
Of the priests: Jedaiah the son of Joiarib, Jachin, Neh. 11:10
Seraiah the son of Hilkijah, the son of Meshullam, the son of Zadok, the son of Meraioth, the son of Ahitub, the ruler of the house of God. Neh. 11:11
And their brethren that did the work of the house, eight hundred and twenty-two; and Adaiah the son of Jeroham, the son of Pelaliah, the son of Amzi, the son of Zechariah, the son of Pashhur, the son of Malchijah; Neh. 11:12
and his brethren, chief fathers, two hundred and forty-two; and Amassai the son of Azareel, the son of Ahzai, the son of Meshillemoth, the son of Immer; Neh. 11:13
and their brethren, mighty men of valour, a hundred and twenty-eight: and their overseer was Zabdiel the son of Gedolim. Neh. 11:14
And of the Levites: Shemaiah the son of Hasshub, the son of Azrikam, the son of Hashabiah, the son of Bunni; Neh. 11:15
and Shabbethai and Jozabad, of the chiefs of the Levites, who were over the outward work of the house of God; Neh. 11:16
and Mattaniah the son of Mica, the son of Zabdi, the son of Asaph, who was the principal to begin the thanksgiving in prayer; and Bakbukiah, the second among his brethren; and Abda the son of Shammua, the son of Galal, the son of Jeduthun: Neh. 11:17
all the Levites in the holy city were two hundred and eighty-four. Neh. 11:18
And the doorkeepers, Akkub, Talmon, and their brethren, that kept watch at the gates, were a hundred and seventy-two. Neh. 11:19
And the residue of Israel, the priests, and the Levites, were in all the cities of Judah, every one in his inheritance. Neh. 11:20
And the Nethinim dwelt in Ophel; and Ziha and Gispa were over the Nethinim. Neh. 11:21
And the overseer of the Levites at Jerusalem was Uzzi the son of Bani, the son of Hashabiah, the son of Mattaniah, the son of Mica, of the sons of Asaph, the singers, for the work of the house of God. Neh. 11:22
For it was the king's commandment concerning them, and there was a settled portion for the singers, due for each day. Neh. 11:23
And Pethahiah the son of Meshezabeel, of the children of Zerah the son of Judah, was at the king's hand in all matters concerning the people. Neh. 11:24
And as to the hamlets in their fields, some of the children of Judah dwelt in Kirjath-Arba and its dependent villages, and in Dibon and its dependent villages, and in Jekabzeel and its dependent villages, Neh. 11:25
Zanoah, Adullam, and their hamlets, in Lachish and its fields, in Azekah and its dependent villages: and they encamped from Beer-sheba unto the valley of Hinnom. Neh. 11:30
And the children of Benjamin from Geba dwelt in Michmash and Aija and Bethel, and their dependent villages, Neh. 11:31
Lod, and Ono, the valley of craftsmen. Neh. 11:35
And of the Levites there were divisions of Judah dwelling in Benjamin. Neh. 11:36
And these are the priests and the Levites that went up with Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, and Jeshua: Seraiah, Jeremiah, Ezra, Neh. 12:1
Sallu, Amok, Hilkijah, Jedaiah. These were the chief of the priests and of their brethren in the days of Jeshua. Neh. 12:7
And the Levites: Jeshua, Binnui, Kadmiel, Sherebiah, Judah, Mattaniah, who was over the thanksgiving, he and his brethren; Neh. 12:8
And in the days of Joiakim were priests, chief fathers: of Seraiah, Meraiah; of Jeremiah, Hananiah; Neh. 12:12
of the Levites, the chief fathers were recorded in the days of Eliashib, Joiada, and Johanan, and Jaddua, and the priests, until the reign of Darius the Persian. Neh. 12:22
The children of Levi, the chief fathers, were recorded in the book of the chronicles, even until the days of Johanan the son of Eliashib. Neh. 12:23
And the chief Levites: Hashabiah, Sherebiah, and Jeshua the son of Kadmiel, with their brethren over against them, to praise and to give thanks, according to the commandment of David the man of God, ward over against ward. Neh. 12:24
Mattaniah and Bakbukiah, Obadiah, Meshullam, Talmon, Akkub, were doorkeepers keeping the ward at the storehouses of the gates. Neh. 12:25
These were in the days of Joiakim the son of Jeshua the son of Jozadak, and in the days of Nehemiah the governor, and of Ezra the priest, the scribe. Neh. 12:26
And at the dedication of the wall of Jerusalem they sought the Levites out of all their places, to bring them to Jerusalem, to hold the dedication with gladness, both with thanksgivings, and with singing, with cymbals, lutes and harps. Neh. 12:27
And the children of the singers were assembled, both from the plain of Jordan round about Jerusalem, and from the villages of the Netophathites, Neh. 12:28
also from Beth-Gilgal, and out of the fields of Geba and Azmaveth; for the singers had built themselves hamlets round about Jerusalem. Neh. 12:29
And the priests and the Levites purified themselves; and they purified the people, and the gates and the wall. Neh. 12:30
And I brought up the princes of Judah upon the wall, and appointed two great choirs and processions, on the right hand upon the wall towards the dung-gate. Neh. 12:31
And after them went Hoshaiah, and half of the princes of Judah, Neh. 12:32
and certain of the priests' sons with trumpets: Zechariah the son of Jonathan, the son of Shemaiah, the son of Mattaniah, the son of Micaiah, the son of Zaccur, the son of Asaph; Neh. 12:35
and his brethren, Shemaiah, and Azareel, Milalai, Gilalai, Maai, Nethaneel, and Judah, Hanani, with the musical instruments of David the man of God; and Ezra the scribe before them. Neh. 12:36
And at the fountain-gate, and over against them, they went up by the stairs of the city of David, at the ascent of the wall, above the house of David, even to the water-gate eastward. Neh. 12:37
And the second choir went in the opposite direction upon the wall, and I after them, and the half of the people, from beyond the tower of the furnaces even to the broad wall; Neh. 12:38
and from above the gate of Ephraim, and above the gate of the old wall, and above the fish-gate, and the tower of Hananeel, and the tower of Meah, even to the sheep-gate; and they stood still in the prison-gate. Neh. 12:39
And both choirs stood in the house of God, and I, and the half of the rulers with me; Neh. 12:40
and the priests, Eliakim, Maaseiah, Miniamin, Micaiah, Elioenai, Zechariah, Hananiah, with trumpets; Neh. 12:41
and Maaseiah, and Shemaiah, and Eleazar, and Uzzi, and Jehohanan, and Malchijah, and Elam, and Ezer. And the singers sang loud; and Jizrahiah was their overseer. Neh. 12:42
And that day they offered great sacrifices, and rejoiced: for God had made them rejoice with great joy; and also the women and the children rejoiced. And the joy of Jerusalem was heard even afar off. Neh. 12:43
And at that time men were appointed over the chambers of the treasures for the heave-offerings, for the first-fruits, and for the tithes, to gather into them, out of the fields of the cities, the portions assigned by the law for the priests and the Levites; for Judah rejoiced over the priests, and over the Levites that waited. Neh. 12:44
And, with the singers and the doorkeepers, they kept the ward of their God, and the ward of the purification, according to the commandment of David and of Solomon his son. Neh. 12:45
For of old, in the days of David and Asaph, there were the chiefs of the singers, and songs of praise and thanksgivings to God. Neh. 12:46
And all Israel, in the days of Zerubbabel and in the days of Nehemiah, gave the portions of the singers and the doorkeepers, every day what was needed, and they consecrated things for the Levites; and the Levites consecrated for the children of Aaron. Neh. 12:47
On that day they read in the book of Moses in the audience of the people; and there was found written in it that the Ammonite and the Moabite should not come into the congregation of God for ever; Neh. 13:1
because they had not met the children of Israel with bread and with water, and had hired Balaam against them, to curse them; but our God turned the curse into blessing. Neh. 13:2
And it came to pass, when they heard the law, that they separated from Israel all the mixed multitude. Neh. 13:3
And before this, Eliashib the priest, who had the oversight of the chambers of the house of our God, a kinsman of Tobijah, Neh. 13:4
had prepared for him a great chamber, where formerly they laid the oblations, the frankincense, and the vessels, and the tithes of the corn, the new wine and the oil, which was commanded for the Levites and the singers and the doorkeepers, and the heave-offerings of the priests. Neh. 13:5
And during all that time I was not at Jerusalem; for in the two-and-thirtieth year of Artaxerxes king of Babylon I came to the king; and after some time I obtained leave of the king. Neh. 13:6
And I came to Jerusalem, and observed the evil that Eliashib had done for Tobijah, in preparing him a chamber in the courts of the house of God. Neh. 13:7
And it grieved me much, and I cast forth all the household stuff of Tobijah out of the chamber. Neh. 13:8
And I commanded, and they purified the chambers; and thither brought I again the vessels of the house of God, the oblation and the frankincense. Neh. 13:9
And I perceived that the portions of the Levites had not been given, and that the Levites and the singers that did the work had fled every one to his field. Neh. 13:10
Then I contended with the rulers, and said, Why is the house of God forsaken? And I gathered them together and set them in their place. Neh. 13:11
And all Judah brought the tithe of the corn and the new wine and the oil into the storehouses. Neh. 13:12
And I made storekeepers over the storehouses: Shelemiah the priest, and Zadok the scribe, and of the Levites, Pedaiah; and subordinate to them, Hanan the son of Zaccur, the son of Mattaniah; for they were esteemed faithful, and their office was to distribute to their brethren. Neh. 13:13
Remember me, O my God, concerning this, and wipe not out my good deeds which I have done for the house of my God, and for the charges thereof! Neh. 13:14
In those days I saw in Judah some treading winepresses on the sabbath, and bringing in sheaves, and lading them on asses; as also wine, grapes and figs, and all manner of burdens; and they brought them into Jerusalem on the sabbath day; and I protested in the day on which they sold the victuals. Neh. 13:15
Men of Tyre also dwelt therein, who brought fish and all manner of ware, and sold it on the sabbath to the children of Judah, and in Jerusalem. Neh. 13:16
And I contended with the nobles of Judah, and said to them, What evil thing is this which ye do, profaning the sabbath day? Neh. 13:17
Did not your fathers thus, and did not our God bring all this evil upon us and upon this city? And ye will bring more wrath against Israel by profaning the sabbath. Neh. 13:18
And it came to pass, that when it began to be dark in the gates of Jerusalem before the sabbath, I commanded that the gates should be shut; and I commanded that they should not be opened till after the sabbath. And I set some of my servants at the gates, so that no burden should be brought in on the sabbath day. Neh. 13:19
And the dealers and sellers of all kind of ware passed the night without Jerusalem once or twice. Neh. 13:20
And I testified against them, and said to them, Why do ye pass the night before the wall? if ye do so again, I will lay hands on you. From that time forth they came not on the sabbath. Neh. 13:21
And I commanded the Levites that they should purify themselves, and that they should come and keep the gates, to hallow the sabbath day. Remember this also for me, my God, and spare me according to thy great loving-kindness! Neh. 13:22
And their children spoke half in the language of Ashdod, and could not speak in the Jews' language, but according to the language of each people. Neh. 13:24
Did not Solomon king of Israel sin by these things? Yet among the many nations was there no king like him, who was beloved of his God, and God made him king over all Israel; but even him did foreign wives cause to sin. Neh. 13:26
And one of the sons of Joiada, the son of Eliashib the high priest, was son-in-law to Sanballat the Horonite; and I chased him from me. Neh. 13:28
Remember them, my God, for they are polluters of the priesthood, and of the covenant of the priesthood and of the Levites! Neh. 13:29
And I purified them from all foreigners, and appointed the charges of the priests and the Levites, every one in his service; Neh. 13:30
and for the wood-offering, at times appointed, and for the first-fruits. Remember me, O my God, for good! Neh. 13:31
And it came to pass in the days of Ahasuerus (that is, the Ahasuerus that reigned from India even to Ethiopia, over a hundred and twenty-seven provinces), Esther 1:1
in those days, when the king Ahasuerus sat on the throne of his kingdom, which was in Shushan the fortress, Esther 1:2
in the third year of his reign, he made a feast to all his princes and his servants; the power of Persia and Media, the nobles and the princes of the provinces being before him; Esther 1:3
when he shewed the glorious wealth of his kingdom and the splendid magnificence of his grandeur many days, a hundred and eighty days. Esther 1:4
And when these days were expired, the king made a feast to all the people that were present in Shushan the fortress, both to great and small, seven days, in the court of the garden of the king's palace. Esther 1:5
And they gave drink in vessels of gold (the vessels being diverse one from another), and royal wine in abundance, according to the king's bounty. Esther 1:7
And the drinking was, according to commandment, without constraint; for so the king had appointed to all the magnates of his house, that they should do according to every man's pleasure. Esther 1:8
Also the queen Vashti made a feast for the women of the royal house which belonged to king Ahasuerus. Esther 1:9
On the seventh day, when the king's heart was merry with wine, he commanded Mehuman, Biztha, Harbona, Bigtha, and Abagtha, Zethar, and Carcas, the seven chamberlains that served in the presence of king Ahasuerus, Esther 1:10
to bring Vashti the queen before the king with the royal crown to shew the peoples and the princes her beauty; for she was of beautiful countenance. Esther 1:11
But the queen Vashti refused to come at the word of the king which was sent by the chamberlains; and the king was very wroth, and his fury burned in him. Esther 1:12
And the king said to the wise men who knew the times (for so was the king's business conducted before all that knew law and judgment; Esther 1:13
and the next to him were Carshena, Shethar, Admatha, Tarshish, Meres, Marsena, and Memucan, the seven princes of Persia and Media, who saw the king's face, and who sat first in the kingdom), Esther 1:14
What shall be done to the queen Vashti according to law, because she has not performed the word of the king Ahasuerus by the chamberlains? Esther 1:15
Then said Memucan before the king and the princes, The queen Vashti has not done wrong to the king only, but also to all the princes, and to all the peoples that are in all the provinces of the king Ahasuerus. Esther 1:16
For the act of the queen will come abroad to all women, so as to render their husbands contemptible in their eyes, when they shall say, The king Ahasuerus commanded the queen Vashti to be brought in before him, and she came not! Esther 1:17
And the princesses of Persia and Media who have heard of the queen's act, will say it this day to all the king's princes, and there will be contempt and anger enough. Esther 1:18
If it please the king, let a royal order go forth from him, and let it be written among the laws of the Persians and the Medes, that it may not pass, That Vashti come no more before king Ahasuerus; and let the king give her royal estate to another that is better than she; Esther 1:19
and when the king's edict which he shall make shall be heard throughout his realm -- for it is great -- all the wives shall give to their husbands honour, from the greatest to the least. Esther 1:20
And the saying pleased the king and the princes; and the king did according to the word of Memucan. Esther 1:21
And he sent letters into all the king's provinces, into every province according to the writing thereof, and to every people according to their language, That every man should bear rule in his own house, and should speak according to the language of his people. Esther 1:22
After these things, when the fury of king Ahasuerus was appeased, he remembered Vashti, and what she had done, and what was decreed against her. Esther 2:1
Then said the king's servants that attended upon him, Let there be maidens, virgins of beautiful countenance, sought for the king; Esther 2:2
and let the king appoint officers in all the provinces of his kingdom, that they may gather together all the young virgins of beautiful countenance to Shushan the fortress, to the house of the women, unto the custody of Hegai the king's chamberlain, keeper of the women; and let their things for purification be given. Esther 2:3
And let the maiden that pleaseth the king be queen instead of Vashti. And the thing pleased the king; and he did so. Esther 2:4
There was in Shushan the fortress a certain Jew, whose name was Mordecai, the son of Jair, the son of Shimei, the son of Kish, a Benjaminite, Esther 2:5
who had been carried away from Jerusalem with the captives who had been carried away with Jeconiah king of Judah, whom Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon had carried away. Esther 2:6
And he brought up Hadassah, that is, Esther, his uncle's daughter; for she had neither father nor mother -- and the maiden was fair and beautiful -- and when her father and mother were dead, Mordecai took her for his own daughter. Esther 2:7
And it came to pass when the king's commandment and his decree was heard, and when many maidens were gathered together unto Shushan the fortress, unto the custody of Hegai, that Esther also was brought into the king's house, unto the custody of Hegai, keeper of the women. Esther 2:8
And the maiden pleased him, and obtained favour before him; and he speedily gave her her things for purification, and her portions, and the seven maidens selected to be given her, out of the king's house; and he removed her and her maids to the best place of the house of the women. Esther 2:9
And Mordecai walked every day before the court of the women's house, to know how Esther did, and what should become of her. Esther 2:11
And when every maiden's turn came to go in to king Ahasuerus after that she had been treated for twelve months, according to the manner of the women (for so were the days of their purification accomplished -- six months with oil of myrrh, and six months with spices, and with things for the purifying of the women, Esther 2:12
and thus came the maiden in unto the king), whatever she desired was given her to go with her out of the house of the women to the king's house. Esther 2:13
In the evening she went, and on the morrow she returned into the second house of the women, unto the custody of Shaashgaz, the king's chamberlain, keeper of the concubines. She came in to the king no more, unless the king delighted in her, and she were called by name. Esther 2:14
And when the turn of Esther, the daughter of Abihail the uncle of Mordecai, who had taken her for his daughter, came to go in to the king, she required nothing but what Hegai the king's chamberlain, keeper of the women, appointed. And Esther obtained grace in the sight of all them that saw her. Esther 2:15
So Esther was taken to king Ahasuerus, into his royal house, in the tenth month, that is, the month Tebeth, in the seventh year of his reign. Esther 2:16
And the king loved Esther above all the women, and she obtained grace and favour in his sight more than all the virgins, and he set the royal crown upon her head, and made her queen instead of Vashti. Esther 2:17
And the king made a great feast to all his princes and his servants, Esther's feast; and he made a release to the provinces, and gave presents according to the king's bounty. Esther 2:18
And when the virgins were gathered together the second time, Mordecai sat in the king's gate. Esther 2:19
In those days, while Mordecai sat in the king's gate, two of the king's chamberlains, Bigthan and Teresh, of those which kept the threshold, were wroth, and sought to lay hand on the king Ahasuerus. Esther 2:21
And the thing became known to Mordecai, and he related it to Esther the queen, and Esther told it to the king in Mordecai's name. Esther 2:22
And the matter was investigated and found out; and they were both hanged on a tree. And it was written in the book of the chronicles before the king. Esther 2:23
After these things king Ahasuerus promoted Haman the son of Hammedatha the Agagite, and advanced him, and set his seat above all the princes that were with him. Esther 3:1
And all the king's servants that were in the king's gate bowed and did Haman reverence, for the king had so commanded concerning him. But Mordecai bowed not, nor did him reverence. Esther 3:2
Then the king's servants, who were in the king's gate, said to Mordecai, Why transgressest thou the king's commandment? Esther 3:3
But he scorned to lay hands on Mordecai alone; for they had made known to him the people of Mordecai; therefore Haman sought to destroy all the Jews that were in all the kingdom of Ahasuerus -- the people of Mordecai. Esther 3:6
In the first month, that is, the month Nisan, in the twelfth year of king Ahasuerus, they cast Pur, that is, the lot, before Haman for each day and for each month, to the twelfth month, that is, the month Adar. Esther 3:7
And Haman said to king Ahasuerus, There is a people scattered abroad and dispersed among the peoples in all the provinces of thy kingdom; and their laws are diverse from those of every people, and they keep not the king's laws; and it is not for the king's profit to suffer them. Esther 3:8
If it please the king, let it be written that they may be destroyed, and I will pay ten thousand talents of silver into the hands of those that have charge of the affairs, to bring it into the king's treasuries. Esther 3:9
And the king took his ring from his hand, and gave it to Haman the son of Hammedatha the Agagite, the Jews' enemy. Esther 3:10
And the king said to Haman, The silver is given to thee, the people also, to do with them as seems good to thee. Esther 3:11
Then were the king's scribes called, in the first month, on the thirteenth day of the month, and there was written according to all that Haman commanded unto the king's satraps, and to the governors over every province, and to the princes of every people; to every province according to the writing thereof, and to every people according to their language: in the name of king Ahasuerus was it written, and sealed with the king's ring. Esther 3:12
And the letters were sent by couriers into all the king's provinces, to destroy, to kill, and to cause to perish, all Jews, both young and old, little children and women, in one day, upon the thirteenth of the twelfth month, that is, the month Adar, and to take the spoil of them for a prey. Esther 3:13
That the decree might be given in every province, a copy of the writing was published to all peoples, that they should be ready against that day. Esther 3:14
The couriers went out, being hastened by the king's commandment, and the decree was given in Shushan the fortress. And the king and Haman sat down to drink; but the city of Shushan was in consternation. Esther 3:15
And when Mordecai knew all that was done, Mordecai rent his garments, and put on sackcloth with ashes, and went out into the midst of the city, and cried with a loud and bitter cry, Esther 4:1
and came even before the king's gate; for none might enter into the king's gate clothed with sackcloth. Esther 4:2
And in every province, wherever the king's commandment and his decree came, there was great mourning among the Jews, and fasting, and weeping, and wailing: many lay in sackcloth and ashes. Esther 4:3
And Esther's maids and her chamberlains came and told it her; and the queen was exceedingly grieved: and she sent raiment to clothe Mordecai, and to take away his sackcloth from him; but he received it not. Esther 4:4
Then Esther called for Hatach, one of the king's chamberlains, whom he had appointed to wait upon her, and gave him a commandment to Mordecai, to know what it was, and why it was. Esther 4:5
And Hatach went forth to Mordecai, unto the public place of the city which was before the king's gate. Esther 4:6
And Mordecai told him of all that had happened to him, and of the sum of money that Haman had promised to pay to the king's treasuries for the Jews, to destroy them. Esther 4:7
And he gave him a copy of the writing of the decree that had been given at Shushan to destroy them, to shew it to Esther, and to declare it to her, and to charge her that she should go in unto the king, to make supplication to him, and to make request before him, for her people. Esther 4:8
And Hatach came and told Esther the words of Mordecai. Esther 4:9
All the king's servants and the people of the king's provinces do know that whoever, whether man or woman, shall come to the king into the inner court, who is not called, there is *one* law, to put him to death, except such to whom the king shall hold out the golden sceptre, that he may live; and I have not been called to come in unto the king these thirty days. Esther 4:11
And Mordecai bade to answer Esther: Imagine not in thy heart that thou shalt escape in the king's house, more than all the Jews. Esther 4:13
For if thou altogether holdest thy peace at this time, then shall there arise relief and deliverance to the Jews from another place; but thou and thy father's house shall perish. And who knows whether thou art not come to the kingdom for such a time as this? Esther 4:14
Go, gather together all the Jews that are found in Shushan, and fast for me, and neither eat nor drink three days, night or day: I also and my maidens will fast likewise, and so will I go in unto the king, which is not according to the law; and if I perish, I perish. Esther 4:16
And it came to pass on the third day, that Esther put on royal apparel, and stood in the inner court of the king's house, over against the king's house. And the king sat upon his royal throne in the royal house, over against the entrance to the house. Esther 5:1
And it was so, when the king saw the queen Esther standing in the court, that she obtained grace in his sight; and the king held out to Esther the golden sceptre that was in his hand; and Esther drew near, and touched the top of the sceptre. Esther 5:2
And the king said to her, What wilt thou, queen Esther? and what is thy request? it shall be given thee even to the half of the kingdom. Esther 5:3
And Esther said, If it seem good to the king, let the king and Haman come this day to the banquet that I have prepared for him. Esther 5:4
And the king said, Hasten Haman, that it may be done as Esther has said. And the king and Haman came to the banquet that Esther had prepared. Esther 5:5
And the king said to Esther at the banquet of wine, What is thy petition? and it shall be granted thee; and what is thy request? even to the half of the kingdom it shall be done. Esther 5:6
If I have found grace in the sight of the king, and if it please the king to grant my petition, and to perform my request, let the king and Haman come to the banquet that I shall prepare for them, and I will do to-morrow according to the king's word. Esther 5:8
And Haman went forth that day joyful and glad of heart; but when Haman saw Mordecai in the king's gate, that he stood not up nor moved for him, he was full of fury against Mordecai. Esther 5:9
And Haman told them of the glory of his riches, and the multitude of his children, and all wherein the king had promoted him, and how he had advanced him above the princes and servants of the king. Esther 5:11
And Haman said, Yea, Esther the queen let no man come in with the king to the banquet that she had prepared but myself; and to-morrow also I am invited to her with the king. Esther 5:12
Yet all this is of no avail to me so long as I see Mordecai the Jew sitting at the king's gate. Esther 5:13
Then said Zeresh his wife and all his friends to him, Let a gallows be made of fifty cubits high, and in the morning speak to the king that Mordecai may be hanged on it: then go in merrily with the king to the banquet. And the thing pleased Haman; and he caused the gallows to be made. Esther 5:14
On that night sleep fled from the king. And he commanded to bring the book of records of the chronicles; and they were read before the king. Esther 6:1
And it was found written, that Mordecai had told of Bigthana and Teresh, two of the king's chamberlains, keepers of the threshold, who had sought to lay hand on king Ahasuerus. Esther 6:2
And the king said, What honour and dignity has been done to Mordecai for this? And the king's servants that attended upon him said, Nothing has been done for him. Esther 6:3
And the king said, Who is in the court? Now Haman had come into the outward court of the king's house, to speak to the king to hang Mordecai on the gallows that he had prepared for him. Esther 6:4
And the king's servants said to him, Behold, Haman is standing in the court. And the king said, Let him come in. Esther 6:5
So Haman came in. And the king said to him, What is to be done with the man whom the king delights to honour? Now Haman thought in his heart, To whom would the king delight to do honour more than to me? Esther 6:6
And Haman answered the king, For the man whom the king delights to honour, Esther 6:7
let the royal apparel be brought with which the king arrays himself, and the horse that the king rides upon, and on the head of which the royal crown is set; Esther 6:8
and let the apparel and horse be delivered into the hand of one of the king's most noble princes, and let them array the man whom the king delights to honour, and cause him to ride on the horse through the street of the city, and proclaim before him, Thus shall it be done to the man whom the king delights to honour! Esther 6:9
And the king said to Haman, Make haste, take the apparel and the horse, as thou hast said, and do so to Mordecai the Jew, who sits at the king's gate: let nothing fail of all that thou hast said. Esther 6:10
And Haman took the apparel and the horse, and arrayed Mordecai, and caused him to ride through the street of the city, and proclaimed before him, Thus shall it be done to the man whom the king delights to honour! Esther 6:11
And Mordecai came again to the king's gate. But Haman hasted to his house, mourning and having his head covered. Esther 6:12
And Haman recounted to Zeresh his wife and to all his friends all that had befallen him. Then said his wise men and Zeresh his wife to him, If Mordecai be of the seed of the Jews, before whom thou hast begun to fall, thou shalt not prevail against him, but wilt certainly fall before him. Esther 6:13
While they were yet talking with him, the king's chamberlains came, and hasted to bring Haman to the banquet that Esther had prepared. Esther 6:14
And the king and Haman came to drink with Esther the queen. Esther 7:1
And the king said again to Esther on the second day, at the banquet of wine, What is thy petition, queen Esther? and it shall be granted thee; and what is thy request? even to the half of the kingdom it shall be done. Esther 7:2
And Esther the queen answered and said, If I have found grace in thy sight, O king, and if it please the king, let my life be given me at my petition, and my people at my request; Esther 7:3
for we are sold, I and my people, to be destroyed, to be slain, and to perish. But if we had been sold for bondmen and bondwomen, I had held my tongue, although the adversary could not compensate the king's damage. Esther 7:4
And king Ahasuerus spoke and said to Esther the queen, Who is he, and where is he that has filled his heart to do so? Esther 7:5
And Esther said, The adversary and enemy is this wicked Haman. Then Haman was terrified before the king and the queen. Esther 7:6
And the king in his wrath rose up from the banquet of wine, and went into the palace garden; but Haman stayed to make request for his life to Esther the queen, for he saw that there was evil determined against him by the king. Esther 7:7
And the king returned out of the palace garden into the house of the banquet of wine, and Haman was fallen upon the couch on which Esther was. And the king said, Will he even force the queen before me in the house? The word went forth out of the king's mouth, and they covered Haman's face. Esther 7:8
And Harbonah, one of the chamberlains, said before the king, Behold, also, the gallows fifty cubits high, that Haman made for Mordecai, who spoke good for the king, stands in the house of Haman. And the king said, Hang him on it! Esther 7:9
So they hanged Haman on the gallows that he had prepared for Mordecai. And the king's wrath was appeased. Esther 7:10
On that day did king Ahasuerus give the house of Haman the Jews' oppressor to Esther the queen. And Mordecai came before the king; for Esther had told what he was to her. Esther 8:1
And the king took off his ring, which he had taken from Haman, and gave it to Mordecai. And Esther set Mordecai over the house of Haman. Esther 8:2
And Esther spoke yet again before the king, and fell down at his feet, and besought him with tears to put away the mischief of Haman the Agagite, and his device which he had devised against the Jews. Esther 8:3
And the king held out the golden sceptre toward Esther. And Esther arose and stood before the king, Esther 8:4
and said, If it please the king and if I have found grace before him, and the thing seem right to the king, and I be pleasing in his sight, let it be written to reverse the letters devised by Haman the son of Hammedatha the Agagite, which he wrote to destroy the Jews that are in all the king's provinces. Esther 8:5
For how shall I endure to see the evil that shall befall my people? and how shall I endure to see the destruction of my kindred? Esther 8:6
And king Ahasuerus said to queen Esther and to Mordecai the Jew, Behold, I have given Esther the house of Haman, and him they have hanged upon the gallows, because he stretched forth his hand against the Jews. Esther 8:7
Write ye then for the Jews as seems good to you, in the king's name, and seal it with the king's ring. For a writing that is written in the king's name, and sealed with the king's ring, cannot be reversed. Esther 8:8
Then were the king's scribes called at that time, in the third month, that is, the month Sivan, on the three and twentieth day thereof; and it was written according to all that Mordecai commanded, to the Jews, and to the satraps, and the governors, and the princes of the provinces which are from India even to Ethiopia, a hundred and twenty-seven provinces, to every province according to the writing thereof, and to every people according to their language, and to the Jews according to their writing and according to their language. Esther 8:9
And he wrote in the name of king Ahasuerus, and sealed it with the king's ring, and sent letters by couriers on horseback riding on coursers, horses of blood reared in the breeding studs: Esther 8:10
stating that the king granted the Jews that were in every city to gather themselves together, and to stand for their life, to destroy, to slay, and to cause to perish, all the power of the people and province that might assault them, their little ones and women, and to take the spoil of them for a prey, Esther 8:11
upon one day in all the provinces of king Ahasuerus, upon the thirteenth of the twelfth month, that is, the month Adar. Esther 8:12
That the decree might be given in every province, a copy of the writing was published to all the peoples, and that the Jews should be ready against that day to avenge themselves on their enemies. Esther 8:13
The couriers mounted on coursers and horses of blood went out, being hastened and pressed on by the king's commandment. And the decree was given at Shushan the fortress. Esther 8:14
And Mordecai went out from the presence of the king in royal apparel of blue and white, and with a great crown of gold, and with a mantle of byssus and purple; and the city of Shushan shouted and was glad. Esther 8:15
The Jews had light, and joy, and gladness, and honour. Esther 8:16
And in every province, and in every city, wherever the king's commandment and his decree came, the Jews had joy and gladness, a feast and a good day. And many among the peoples of the land became Jews; for the fear of the Jews had fallen upon them. Esther 8:17
And in the twelfth month, that is, the month Adar, on the thirteenth day thereof, when the king's commandment and his decree drew near to be put in execution, in the day that the enemies of the Jews hoped to have power over them (but it was turned to the contrary, that the Jews had power over them that hated them), Esther 9:1
the Jews gathered themselves together in their cities throughout the provinces of king Ahasuerus, to lay hand on such as sought their hurt. And no man could withstand them; for the fear of them had fallen upon all the peoples. Esther 9:2
And all the princes of the provinces, and the satraps, and the governors and officers of the king, helped the Jews; for the fear of Mordecai had fallen upon them. Esther 9:3
For Mordecai was great in the king's house, and his fame went forth throughout the provinces; for the man Mordecai became continually greater. Esther 9:4
And the Jews smote all their enemies with the stroke of the sword and slaughter and destruction, and did what they would to those that hated them. Esther 9:5
And in Shushan the fortress the Jews slew and destroyed five hundred men. Esther 9:6
the ten sons of Haman the son of Hammedatha, the oppressor of the Jews, they slew; but they laid not their hands on the prey. Esther 9:10
On that day the number of those that were slain in Shushan the fortress was brought before the king. Esther 9:11
And the king said to Esther the queen, The Jews have slain and destroyed five hundred men in Shushan the fortress, and the ten sons of Haman; what have they done in the rest of the king's provinces? And what is thy petition? and it shall be granted thee; and what is thy request further? and it shall be done. Esther 9:12
And Esther said, If it please the king, let it be granted to the Jews that are in Shushan to do to-morrow also according to this day's decree, and let Haman's ten sons be hanged upon the gallows. Esther 9:13
And the king commanded it so to be done: and the decree was given at Shushan; and they hanged Haman's ten sons. Esther 9:14
And the Jews that were in Shushan gathered themselves together on the fourteenth day also of the month Adar, and slew three hundred men at Shushan; but they laid not their hand on the prey. Esther 9:15
And the other Jews that were in the king's provinces gathered themselves together, and stood for their life, and had rest from their enemies; and they slew of them that hated them seventy-five thousand (but they laid not their hand on the prey), Esther 9:16
on the thirteenth day of the month Adar; and on the fourteenth of the same they rested, and made it a day of feasting and joy. Esther 9:17
But the Jews that were at Shushan gathered themselves together on the thirteenth day thereof, and on the fourteenth thereof; and on the fifteenth of the same they rested, and made it a day of feasting and joy. Esther 9:18
Therefore the Jews of the villages that dwell in the country towns make the fourteenth of the month Adar a day of joy and feasting, and a good day, and on which they send portions one to another. Esther 9:19
And Mordecai wrote these things, and sent letters to all the Jews near and far that were in all the provinces of king Ahasuerus, Esther 9:20
to establish this among them, that they should keep the fourteenth day of the month Adar, and the fifteenth day of the same, yearly, Esther 9:21
as the days on which the Jews rested from their enemies, and the month that was turned to them from sorrow to joy, and from mourning into a good day; that they should make them days of feasting and joy, and of sending portions one to another, and gifts to the poor. Esther 9:22
And the Jews undertook to do as they had begun, and as Mordecai had written to them. Esther 9:23
For Haman the son of Hammedatha the Agagite, the oppressor of all the Jews, had devised against the Jews to destroy them, and had cast Pur, that is, the lot, to consume them and to destroy them; Esther 9:24
and when Esther came before the king, he commanded by letters that his wicked device, which he had devised against the Jews, should return upon his own head; and they hanged him and his sons on the gallows. Esther 9:25
Therefore they called these days Purim after the name of Pur. Therefore, according to all the words of this letter, and for what they had seen concerning this matter and what had happened to them, Esther 9:26
the Jews ordained and took upon them, and upon their seed, and upon all such as joined themselves to them, so that it should not fail, that they would observe these two days according to their writing and according to their fixed time, every year; Esther 9:27
and that these days should be remembered and observed throughout every generation, in every family, every province, and every city, and that these days of Purim should not fail from among the Jews, nor the memorial of them cease from among their seed. Esther 9:28
And queen Esther the daughter of Abihail, and Mordecai the Jew, wrote with all authority to confirm this second letter of Purim. Esther 9:29
And he sent letters to all the Jews, to the hundred and twenty-seven provinces of the kingdom of Ahasuerus, words of peace and truth, Esther 9:30
to confirm these days of Purim in their fixed times, according as Mordecai the Jew and queen Esther had enjoined them, and as they had decreed for themselves and for their seed, as to the matters of the fastings and their cry. Esther 9:31
And the decree of Esther confirmed these matters of Purim; and it was written in the book. Esther 9:32
And king Ahasuerus laid a tribute upon the land and the isles of the sea. Esther 10:1
And all the acts of his power and of his might, and the declaration of the greatness of Mordecai, to which the king advanced him, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Media and Persia? Esther 10:2
For Mordecai the Jew was second to king Ahasuerus, and great among the Jews, and accepted of the multitude of his brethren, seeking the welfare of his people, and speaking peace to all his seed. Esther 10:3
There was a man in the land of Uz whose name was Job; and this man was perfect and upright, and one that feared God and abstained from evil. Job 1:1
And his substance was seven thousand sheep, and three thousand camels, and five hundred yoke of oxen, and five hundred she-asses, and very many servants; and this man was greater than all the children of the east. Job 1:3
And his sons went and made a feast in the house of each one on his day; and they sent and invited their three sisters to eat and to drink with them. Job 1:4
And it was so, when the days of the feasting were gone about, that Job sent and hallowed them; and he rose up early in the morning, and offered up burnt-offerings according to the number of them all; for Job said, It may be that my children have sinned, and cursed God in their hearts. Thus did Job continually. Job 1:5
And there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before Jehovah; and Satan came also among them. Job 1:6
And Jehovah said to Satan, Whence comest thou? And Satan answered Jehovah and said, From going to and fro in the earth, and from walking up and down in it. Job 1:7
And Jehovah said to Satan, Hast thou considered my servant Job, that there is none like him on the earth, a perfect and an upright man, one that feareth God and abstaineth from evil? Job 1:8
Hast not thou made a hedge about him, and about his house, and about all that he hath on every side? Thou hast blessed the work of his hands, and his substance is spread abroad in the land. Job 1:10
And Jehovah said to Satan, Behold, all that he hath is in thy hand; only upon himself put not forth thy hand. So Satan went forth from the presence of Jehovah. Job 1:12
And there was a day when his sons and his daughters were eating and drinking wine in the house of their brother, the firstborn. Job 1:13
And there came a messenger to Job and said, The oxen were ploughing, and the asses feeding beside them; Job 1:14
and they of Sheba fell upon them and took them, and the servants have they smitten with the edge of the sword; and I only am escaped, alone, to tell thee. Job 1:15
While he was yet speaking, there came another and said, The fire of God fell from heaven and burned up the sheep and the servants, and consumed them; and I only am escaped, alone, to tell thee. Job 1:16
While he was yet speaking, there came another and said, The Chaldeans made three bands, and fell upon the camels and took them, and the servants have they smitten with the edge of the sword; and I only am escaped, alone, to tell thee. Job 1:17
While he was yet speaking, there came another and said, Thy sons and thy daughters were eating and drinking wine in the house of their brother, the firstborn; Job 1:18
and behold, there came a great wind from over the wilderness, and smote the four corners of the house, and it fell upon the young men, and they died; and I only am escaped, alone, to tell thee. Job 1:19
And Job rose up, and rent his mantle, and shaved his head, and fell down on the ground, and worshipped; Job 1:20
and he said, Naked came I out of my mother's womb, and naked shall I return thither: Jehovah gave, and Jehovah hath taken away; blessed be the name of Jehovah! Job 1:21
And there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before Jehovah, and Satan also came among them to present himself before Jehovah. Job 2:1
And Jehovah said to Satan, From whence comest thou? And Satan answered Jehovah and said, From going to and fro in the earth, and from walking up and down in it. Job 2:2
And Jehovah said to Satan, Hast thou considered my servant Job, that there is none like him on the earth, a perfect and an upright man, one that feareth God and abstaineth from evil? and still he remaineth firm in his integrity, though thou movedst me against him, to swallow him up without cause. Job 2:3
And Satan went forth from the presence of Jehovah; and he smote Job with a grievous botch from the sole of his foot unto his crown. Job 2:7
And he took a potsherd to scrape himself with; and he sat among the ashes. Job 2:8
But he said to her, Thou speakest as one of the foolish women speaketh. We have also received good from God, and should we not receive evil? In all this Job did not sin with his lips. Job 2:10
And three friends of Job heard of all this evil that was come upon him. And they came each one from his place: Eliphaz the Temanite, and Bildad the Shuhite, and Zophar the Naamathite; and they made an appointment together to come to condole with him and to comfort him. Job 2:11
And when they lifted up their eyes afar off, and knew him not, they lifted up their voice and wept. And they rent every one his mantle, and sprinkled dust upon their heads toward the heavens. Job 2:12
And they sat down with him on the ground seven days and seven nights; and none spoke a word to him; for they saw that his anguish was very great. Job 2:13
Let the day perish in which I was born, and the night that said, There is a man child conceived. Job 3:3
Let darkness and the shadow of death claim it; let clouds dwell upon it; let darkeners of the day terrify it. Job 3:5
That night -- let gloom seize upon it; let it not rejoice among the days of the year; let it not come into the number of the months. Job 3:6
Let them curse it that curse the day, who are ready to rouse Leviathan; Job 3:8
Let the stars of its twilight be dark; let it wait for light, and have none, neither let it see the eyelids of the dawn: Job 3:9
Because it shut not up the doors of the womb that bore me, and hid not trouble from mine eyes. Job 3:10
Wherefore did I not die from the womb, -- come forth from the belly and expire? Job 3:11
Why did the knees meet me? and wherefore the breasts, that I should suck? Job 3:12
With kings and counsellors of the earth, who build desolate places for themselves, Job 3:14
Or as a hidden untimely birth I had not been; as infants that have not seen the light. Job 3:16
There the wicked cease from troubling; and there the wearied are at rest. Job 3:17
The prisoners together are at ease; they hear not the voice of the taskmaster. Job 3:18
The small and great are there, and the bondman freed from his master. Job 3:19
Who rejoice even exultingly and are glad when they find the grave? -- Job 3:22
To the man whose way is hidden, and whom +God hath hedged in? Job 3:23
For my sighing cometh before my bread, and my groanings are poured out like the waters. Job 3:24
And Eliphaz the Temanite answered and said, Job 4:1
Behold, thou hast instructed many, and thou hast strengthened the weak hands; Job 4:3
Thy words have upholden him that was stumbling, and thou hast braced up the bending knees: Job 4:4
Hath not thy piety been thy confidence, and the perfection of thy ways thy hope? Job 4:6
Remember, I pray thee, who that was innocent has perished? and where were the upright cut off? Job 4:7
Even as I have seen, they that plough iniquity and sow mischief, reap the same. Job 4:8
By the breath of +God they perish, and by the blast of his nostrils are they consumed. Job 4:9
The roar of the lion, and the voice of the fierce lion, and the teeth of the young lions, are broken; Job 4:10
The old lion perisheth for lack of prey, and the whelps of the lioness are scattered. Job 4:11
In thoughts from visions of the night, when deep sleep falleth on men: -- Job 4:13
And a spirit passed before my face -- the hair of my flesh stood up -- Job 4:15
It stood still; I could not discern the appearance thereof: a form was before mine eyes; I heard a slight murmur and a voice: Job 4:16
How much more them that dwell in houses of clay, whose foundation is in the dust, who are crushed as the moth! Job 4:19
Call, I pray thee! Is there any that answereth thee? and to which of the holy ones wilt thou turn? Job 5:1
For vexation killeth the foolish man, and envy slayeth the simple. Job 5:2
I myself saw the foolish taking root, but suddenly I cursed his habitation. Job 5:3
His children are far from safety, and they are crushed in the gate, and there is no deliverer: Job 5:4
Whose harvest the hungry eateth up, and taketh even out of the thorns; and the snare gapeth for his substance. Job 5:5
For evil cometh not forth from the dust, neither doth trouble spring out of the ground; Job 5:6
For man is born to trouble, as the sparks fly upwards. Job 5:7
Who giveth rain on the face of the earth, and sendeth waters on the face of the fields; Job 5:10
He disappointeth the devices of the crafty, and their hands carry not out the enterprise. Job 5:12
He taketh the wise in their own craftiness; and the counsel of the wily is carried headlong: Job 5:13
They meet with darkness in a the daytime, and grope at midday as in the night. Job 5:14
And he saveth the needy from the sword, from their mouth, and from the hand of the mighty. Job 5:15
So the poor hath what he hopeth for, and unrighteousness stoppeth her mouth. Job 5:16
Behold, happy is the man whom +God correcteth; therefore despise not the chastening of the Almighty. Job 5:17
In famine he will redeem thee from death, and in war from the power of the sword. Job 5:20
Thou shalt be hidden from the scourge of the tongue; and thou shalt not be afraid of destruction when it cometh. Job 5:21
At destruction and famine thou shalt laugh, and of the beasts of the earth thou shalt not be afraid. Job 5:22
For thou shalt be in league with the stones of the field, and the beasts of the field shall be at peace with thee. Job 5:23
And thou shalt know that thy seed is numerous, and thine offspring as the herb of the earth. Job 5:25
Thou shalt come to the grave in a ripe age, as a shock of corn is brought in in its season. Job 5:26
Oh that my grief were thoroughly weighed, and all my calamity laid in the balances! Job 6:2
For now it would be heavier than the sand of the seas; therefore my words are vehement. Job 6:3
For the arrows of the Almighty are within me, their poison drinketh up my spirit: the terrors of +God are arrayed against me. Job 6:4
Doth the wild ass bray by the grass? loweth an ox over his fodder? Job 6:5
Shall that which is insipid be eaten without salt? Is there any taste in the white of an egg? Job 6:6
Then should I yet have comfort; and in the pain which spareth not I would rejoice that I have not denied the words of the Holy One. Job 6:10
Is my strength the strength of stones? is my flesh of brass? Job 6:12
For him that is fainting kindness is meet from his friend; or he forsaketh the fear of the Almighty. Job 6:14
My brethren have dealt deceitfully as a stream, as the channel of streams which pass away, Job 6:15
Which are turbid by reason of the ice, in which the snow hideth itself: Job 6:16
At the time they diminish, they are dried up; when heat affecteth them, they vanish from their place: Job 6:17
They wind about in the paths of their course, they go off into the waste and perish. Job 6:18
The caravans of Tema looked, the companies of Sheba counted on them: Job 6:19
Or, rescue me from the hand of the oppressor, and redeem me from the hand of the violent? Job 6:23
Do ye imagine to reprove words? The speeches of one that is desperate are indeed for the wind. Job 6:26
Yea, ye overwhelm the fatherless, and dig a pit for your friend. Job 6:27
Hath not man a life of labour upon earth? and are not his days like the days of a hireling? Job 7:1
As a bondman earnestly desireth the shadow, and a hireling expecteth his wages, Job 7:2
If I lie down, I say, When shall I rise up, and the darkness be gone? and I am full of tossings until the dawn. Job 7:4
The eye of him that hath seen me shall behold me no more: thine eyes are upon me, and I am not. Job 7:8
The cloud consumeth and vanisheth away; so he that goeth down to Sheol shall not come up. Job 7:9
Therefore I will not restrain my mouth: I will speak in the anguish of my spirit; I will complain in the bitterness of my soul. Job 7:11
And why dost not thou forgive my transgression and take away mine iniquity? for now shall I lie down in the dust, and thou shalt seek me early, and I shall not be. Job 7:21
And Bildad the Shuhite answered and said, Job 8:1
How long wilt thou speak these things? and the words of thy mouth be a strong wind? Job 8:2
Doth *God pervert judgment, and the Almighty pervert justice? Job 8:3
If thy children have sinned against him, he hath also given them over into the hand of their transgression. Job 8:4
If thou seek earnestly unto *God, and make thy supplication to the Almighty, Job 8:5
If thou be pure and upright, surely now he will awake for thee, and make the habitation of thy righteousness prosperous; Job 8:6
For inquire, I pray thee, of the former generation, and attend to the researches of their fathers; Job 8:8
Doth the papyrus shoot up without mire? doth the reed-grass grow without water? Job 8:11
So are the paths of all that forget *God; and the profane man's hope shall perish, Job 8:13
He is full of sap before the sun, and his sprout shooteth forth over his garden; Job 8:16
His roots are entwined about the stoneheap; he seeth the place of stones. Job 8:17
Behold, this is the joy of his way, and out of the dust shall others grow. Job 8:19
Behold, *God will not cast off a perfect man, neither will he take evil-doers by the hand. Job 8:20
They that hate thee shall be clothed with shame, and the tent of the wicked be no more. Job 8:22
Who shaketh the earth out of its place, and the pillars thereof tremble; Job 9:6
Who commandeth the sun, and it riseth not, and he sealeth up the stars; Job 9:7
Who alone spreadeth out the heavens, and treadeth upon the high waves of the sea; Job 9:8
Who maketh the Bear, Orion, and the Pleiades, and the chambers of the south; Job 9:9
+God withdraweth not his anger; the proud helpers stoop under him: Job 9:13
It is all one; therefore I said, he destroyeth the perfect and the wicked. Job 9:22
If the scourge kill suddenly, he mocketh at the trial of the innocent. Job 9:23
The earth is given over into the hand of the wicked man; he covereth the faces of its judges. If not, who then is it? Job 9:24
They pass by like skiffs of reed; as an eagle that swoops upon the prey. Job 9:26
Then wouldest thou plunge me in the ditch, and mine own clothes would abhor me. Job 9:31
My soul is weary of my life: I will give free course to my complaint; I will speak in the bitterness of my soul. Job 10:1
Doth it please thee to oppress, that thou shouldest despise the work of thy hands, and shine upon the counsel of the wicked? Job 10:3
Are thy days as the days of a mortal? are thy years as a man's days, Job 10:5
And wherefore didst thou bring me forth out of the womb? I had expired, and no eye had seen me. Job 10:18
I should be as though I had not been; I should have been carried from the womb to the grave. Job 10:19
Before I go, and never to return, -- to the land of darkness and the shadow of death; Job 10:21
A land of gloom, as darkness itself; of the shadow of death, without any order, where the light is as thick darkness. Job 10:22
And Zophar the Naamathite answered and said, Job 11:1
Should not the multitude of words be answered? and should a man of much talk be justified? Job 11:2
And that he would shew thee the secrets of wisdom, how that they are the double of what is realised; and know that +God passeth by much of thine iniquity! Job 11:6
Canst thou by searching find out +God? canst thou find out the Almighty to perfection? Job 11:7
It is as the heights of heaven; what wilt thou do? deeper than Sheol; what canst thou know? Job 11:8
The measure thereof is longer than the earth, and broader than the sea. Job 11:9
Yet a senseless man will make bold, though man be born like the foal of a wild ass. Job 11:12
If thou put far away the iniquity which is in thy hand, and let not wrong dwell in thy tents; Job 11:14
And life shall arise brighter than noonday; though thou be enshrouded in darkness, thou shalt be as the morning, Job 11:17
But the eyes of the wicked shall fail, and all refuge shall vanish from them, and their hope shall be the breathing out of life. Job 11:20
Truly ye are the people, and wisdom shall die with you! Job 12:2
I am to be one that is a derision to his friend, I who call upon +God, and whom he will answer: a derision is the just upright man. Job 12:4
He that is ready to stumble with the foot is a lamp despised in the thought of him that is at ease. Job 12:5
The tents of desolators are in peace, and they that provoke *God are secure; into whose hand +God bringeth. Job 12:6
But ask now the beasts, and they shall teach thee; and the fowl of the heavens, and they shall tell thee; Job 12:7
Or speak to the earth, and it shall teach thee; and the fishes of the sea shall declare unto thee. Job 12:8
Who knoweth not in all these, that the hand of Jehovah hath wrought this? Job 12:9
In whose hand is the soul of every living thing, and the spirit of all flesh of man. Job 12:10
Doth not the ear try words, as the palate tasteth food? Job 12:11
With the aged is wisdom, and in length of days understanding. Job 12:12
Behold, he withholdeth the waters, and they dry up; and he sendeth them out, and they overturn the earth. Job 12:15
With him is strength and effectual knowledge; the deceived and the deceiver are his. Job 12:16
He weakeneth the government of kings, and bindeth their loins with a fetter; Job 12:18
He leadeth priests away spoiled, and overthroweth the mighty; Job 12:19
He depriveth of speech the trusty, and taketh away the judgment of the elders; Job 12:20
He poureth contempt upon nobles, and slackeneth the girdle of the mighty; Job 12:21
He discovereth deep things out of darkness, and bringeth out into light the shadow of death; Job 12:22
He increaseth the nations, and destroyeth them; he spreadeth out the nations, and bringeth them in; Job 12:23
He taketh away the understanding of the chiefs of the people of the earth, and causeth them to wander in a pathless waste. Job 12:24
They grope in the dark without light, and he maketh them to stagger like a drunkard. Job 12:25
But I will speak to the Almighty, and will find pleasure in reasoning with *God; Job 13:3
Hear now my defence, and hearken to the pleadings of my lips. Job 13:6
Behold now, I have ordered the cause; I know that I shall be justified. Job 13:18
For thou writest bitter things against me, and makest me to possess the iniquities of my youth; Job 13:26
And thou puttest my feet in the stocks, and markest all my paths; thou settest a bound about the soles of my feet; -- Job 13:27
One who, as a rotten thing consumeth, as a garment that the moth eateth. Job 13:28
Who can bring a clean man out of the unclean? Not one! Job 14:4
If his days are determined, if the number of his months is with thee, and thou hast appointed his bounds which he must not pass, Job 14:5
Though its root grow old in the earth, and its stock die in the ground, Job 14:8
Yet through the scent of water it will bud, and put forth boughs like a young plant. Job 14:9
The waters recede from the lake, and the river wasteth and drieth up: Job 14:11
So man lieth down, and riseth not again; till the heavens be no more, they do not awake, nor are raised out of their sleep. Job 14:12
(If a man die, shall he live again?) all the days of my time of toil would I wait, till my change should come: Job 14:14
Thou wouldest call, and I would answer thee; thou wouldest have a desire after the work of thy hands. Job 14:15
And indeed a mountain falling cometh to nought, and the rock is removed out of its place; Job 14:18
The waters wear the stones, the floods thereof wash away the dust of the earth; and thou destroyest the hope of man. Job 14:19
And Eliphaz the Temanite answered and said, Job 15:1
Should a wise man answer with windy knowledge, and fill his belly with the east wind, Job 15:2
For thy mouth uttereth thine iniquity, and thou hast chosen the tongue of the crafty. Job 15:5
Art thou the first man that was born? and wast thou brought forth before the hills? Job 15:7
Hast thou listened in the secret council of +God? And hast thou absorbed wisdom for thyself? Job 15:8
Both the greyheaded and the aged are with us, older than thy father. Job 15:10
Are the consolations of *God too small for thee? and the word gently spoken to thee? Job 15:11
Behold, he putteth no trust in his holy ones, and the heavens are not pure in his sight: Job 15:15
How much less the abominable and corrupt, -- man, that drinketh unrighteousness like water! Job 15:16
Unto whom alone the earth was given, and no stranger passed among them. Job 15:19
All his days the wicked man is tormented, and numbered years are allotted to the violent. Job 15:20
The sound of terrors is in his ears: in prosperity the destroyer cometh upon him. Job 15:21
He believeth not that he shall return out of darkness, and he is singled out for the sword. Job 15:22
He wandereth abroad for bread, -- where may it be? He knoweth that the day of darkness is ready at his hand. Job 15:23
Distress and anguish make him afraid; they prevail against him, as a king ready for the battle. Job 15:24
For he hath stretched out his hand against *God, and strengthened himself against the Almighty: Job 15:25
He runneth against him, with outstretched neck, with the thick bosses of his bucklers; Job 15:26
He shall not become rich, neither shall his substance continue, and their possessions shall not extend upon the earth. Job 15:29
He shall not depart out of darkness; the flame shall dry up his branches; and by the breath of his mouth shall he go away. Job 15:30
For the family of the ungodly shall be barren, and fire shall consume the tents of bribery. Job 15:34
But I would encourage you with my mouth, and the solace of my lips should assuage your pain. Job 16:5
*God hath delivered me over to the iniquitous man, and hurled me into the hands of the wicked. Job 16:11
I was at rest, but he hath shattered me; he hath taken me by the neck and shaken me to pieces, and set me up for his mark. Job 16:12
His arrows encompass me round about, he cleaveth my reins asunder and doth not spare; he poureth out my gall upon the ground. Job 16:13
I have sewed sackcloth upon my skin, and rolled my horn in the dust. Job 16:15
My face is red with weeping, and on my eyelids is the shadow of death; Job 16:16
Even now, behold, my Witness is in the heavens, and he that voucheth for me is in the heights. Job 16:19
For years few in number shall pass, -- and I shall go the way whence I shall not return. Job 16:22
My breath is corrupt, my days are extinct, the graves are mine. Job 17:1
He that betrayeth friends for a prey -- even the eyes of his children shall fail. Job 17:5
And he hath made me a proverb of the peoples; and I am become one to be spit on in the face. Job 17:6
Upright men shall be astonished at this, and the innocent shall be stirred up against the ungodly; Job 17:8
But the righteous shall hold on his way, and he that hath clean hands shall increase in strength. Job 17:9
My days are past, my purposes are broken off, the cherished thoughts of my heart. Job 17:11
They change the night into day; the light they imagine near in presence of the darkness. Job 17:12
If I wait, Sheol is my house; I spread my bed in the darkness: Job 17:13
I cry to the grave, Thou art my father! to the worm, My mother, and my sister! Job 17:14
It shall go down to the bars of Sheol, when our rest shall be together in the dust. Job 17:16
And Bildad the Shuhite answered and said, Job 18:1
Thou that tearest thyself in thine anger, shall the earth be forsaken for thee? and shall the rock be removed out of its place? Job 18:4
Yea, the light of the wicked shall be put out, and the flame of his fire shall not shine. Job 18:5
The light shall become dark in his tent, and his lamp over him shall be put out. Job 18:6
The steps of his strength shall be straitened, and his own counsel shall cast him down. Job 18:7
For he is sent into the net by his own feet, and he walketh on the meshes; Job 18:8
The gin taketh him by the heel, the snare layeth hold on him; Job 18:9
A cord is hidden for him in the ground, and his trap in the way. Job 18:10
The firstborn of death devoureth the members of his body; it will devour his members. Job 18:13
His confidence shall be rooted out of his tent, and it shall lead him away to the king of terrors: Job 18:14
His remembrance shall perish from the earth, and he shall have no name on the pasture-grounds. Job 18:17
He is driven from light into darkness, and chased out of the world. Job 18:18
He hath neither son nor grandson among his people, nor any remaining in the places of his sojourn. Job 18:19
Surely, such are the dwellings of the unrighteous man, and such the place of him that knoweth not *God. Job 18:21
He hath stripped me of my glory, and taken the crown from my head. Job 19:9
The sojourners in my house and my maids count me as a stranger; I am an alien in their sight. Job 19:15
My breath is strange to my wife, and my entreaties to the children of my mother's womb. Job 19:17
My bones cleave to my skin and to my flesh, and I am escaped with the skin of my teeth. Job 19:20
Have pity upon me, have pity upon me, ye my friends; for the hand of +God hath touched me. Job 19:21
That with an iron style and lead they were graven in the rock for ever! Job 19:24
And as for me, I know that my Redeemer liveth, and the Last, he shall stand upon the earth; Job 19:25
If ye say, How shall we persecute him? when the root of the matter is found in me, Job 19:28
Be ye yourselves afraid of the sword! for the sword is fury against misdeeds, that ye may know there is a judgment. Job 19:29
And Zophar the Naamathite answered and said, Job 20:1
The exultation of the wicked is short, and the joy of the ungodly man but for a moment? Job 20:5
Though his height mount up to the heavens, and his head reach unto the clouds, Job 20:6
He flieth away as a dream, and is not found; and is chased away as a vision of the night. Job 20:8
The eye which saw him shall see him not again; and his place beholdeth him no more. Job 20:9
His children shall seek the favour of the poor, and his hands restore his wealth. Job 20:10
His bones were full of his youthful strength; but it shall lie down with him in the dust. Job 20:11
His food is turned in his bowels; it is the gall of asps within him. Job 20:14
He shall suck the poison of asps; the viper's tongue shall kill him. Job 20:16
That which he laboured for shall he restore, and not swallow down; its restitution shall be according to the value, and he shall not rejoice therein. Job 20:18
For he hath oppressed, hath forsaken the poor; he hath violently taken away a house that he did not build. Job 20:19
In the fulness of his sufficiency he shall be in straits; every hand of the wretched shall come upon him. Job 20:22
If he have fled from the iron weapon, the bow of brass shall strike him through. Job 20:24
He draweth it forth; it cometh out of his body, and the glittering point out of his gall: terrors are upon him. Job 20:25
The heavens shall reveal his iniquity, and the earth shall rise up against him. Job 20:27
The increase of his house shall depart, flowing away in the day of his anger. Job 20:28
This is the portion of the wicked man from God, and the heritage appointed to him by *God. Job 20:29
Mark me, and be astonished, and lay the hand upon the mouth. Job 21:5
Wherefore do the wicked live, grow old, yea, become mighty in power? Job 21:7
Their houses are safe from fear, neither is the rod of +God upon them. Job 21:9
They shout to the tambour and harp, and rejoice at the sound of the pipe. Job 21:12
And they say unto *God, Depart from us, for we desire not the knowledge of thy ways! Job 21:14
What is the Almighty that we should serve him? and what are we profited if we pray unto him? Job 21:15
Behold, their prosperity is not in their hand. The counsel of the wicked be far from me! Job 21:16
How often is the lamp of the wicked put out, and cometh their calamity upon them? Doth he distribute sorrows to them in his anger? Job 21:17
Do they become as stubble before the wind, and as chaff that the storm carrieth away? Job 21:18
+God layeth up the punishment of his iniquity for his children; he rewardeth him, and he shall know it: Job 21:19

For thou hast taken a pledge of thy brother for nought, and stripped off the clothing of the naked. Job 22:6
Thou hast not given water to the fainting to drink, and thou hast withholden bread from the hungry. Job 22:7

Who were carried off before the time, whose foundation was overflowed with a flood; Job 22:16
Who said unto *God, Depart from us! and what could the Almighty do to them? Job 22:17
Yet he filled their houses with good. But the counsel of the wicked is far from me. Job 22:18
The righteous see it, and are glad; and the innocent laugh them to scorn: Job 22:19
Is not he who rose against us destroyed, and doth not the fire consume his residue? Job 22:20
If thou return to the Almighty, thou shalt be built up. If thou remove unrighteousness far from thy tents, Job 22:23

I would order the cause before him, and fill my mouth with arguments; Job 23:4
I would know the words he would answer me, and understand what he would say unto me. Job 23:5
On the left hand, where he doth work, but I behold him not; he hideth himself on the right hand, and I see him not. Job 23:9
But he knoweth the way that I take; he trieth me, I shall come forth as gold. Job 23:10
Neither have I gone back from the commandment of his lips; I have laid up the words of his mouth more than the purpose of my own heart. Job 23:12
For *God hath made my heart soft, and the Almighty troubleth me; Job 23:16
Because I was not cut off before the darkness, neither hath he hidden the gloom from me. Job 23:17
Why are not times treasured up with the Almighty? why do not they that know him see his days? Job 24:1
They remove the landmarks; they violently take away the flocks and pasture them; Job 24:2

Lo, even the moon is not bright; and the stars are not pure in his sight: Job 25:5
How much less man, a worm, and the son of man, a worm! Job 25:6
How hast thou helped the powerless; how saved the arm that is without strength! Job 26:2
How hast thou counselled him that hath no wisdom, and abundantly declared the thing as it is! Job 26:3
The shades tremble beneath the waters and the inhabitants thereof; Job 26:5

As *God liveth, who hath taken away my right, and the Almighty, who hath embittered my soul, Job 27:2
All the while my breath is in me, and the spirit of +God is in my nostrils, Job 27:3
Let mine enemy be as the wicked, and he that riseth up against me as the unrighteous. Job 27:7

Doth he delight himself in the Almighty? will he at all times call upon +God? Job 27:10
I will teach you concerning the hand of *God; what is with the Almighty will I not conceal. Job 27:11
This is the portion of the wicked man with *God, and the heritage of the violent, which they receive from the Almighty: -- Job 27:13
If his children be multiplied, it is for the sword, and his offspring shall not be satisfied with bread; Job 27:14
Though he heap up silver as the dust, and prepare clothing as the clay; Job 27:16
He may prepare it, but the just shall put it on; and the innocent shall divide the silver. Job 27:17
He buildeth his house as the moth, and as a booth that a keeper maketh. Job 27:18
Terrors overtake him like waters; a whirlwind stealeth him away in the night. Job 27:20
The east wind carrieth him away and he is gone; and as a storm it hurleth him out of his place. Job 27:21

Corals and crystal are no more remembered; yea, the acquisition of wisdom is above rubies. Job 28:18
The topaz of Ethiopia shall not be compared to it, neither shall it be set in the balance with pure gold. Job 28:19
Whence then cometh wisdom? and where is the place of understanding? Job 28:20
For it is hidden from the eyes of all living, and concealed from the fowl of the heavens. Job 28:21
God understandeth the way thereof, and he knoweth its place: Job 28:23
For he looketh to the ends of the earth, he seeth under the whole heaven. Job 28:24
In making a weight for the wind, and meting out the waters by measure, Job 28:25

But now they that are younger than I have me in derision, whose fathers I would have disdained to set with the dogs of my flock. Job 30:1
Yea, whereto should the strength of their hands profit me, men in whom vigour hath perished? Job 30:2
They gather the salt-wort among the bushes, and the roots of the broom for their food. Job 30:4
To dwell in gloomy gorges, in caves of the earth and the rocks: Job 30:6
They bray among the bushes; under the brambles they are gathered together: Job 30:7
Sons of fools, and sons of nameless sires, they are driven out of the land. Job 30:8
For he hath loosed my cord and afflicted me; so they cast off the bridle before me. Job 30:11
At my right hand rise the young brood; they push away my feet, and raise up against me their pernicious ways; Job 30:12

Did not I weep for him whose days were hard? was not my soul grieved for the needy? Job 30:25
I go about blackened, but not by the sun; I stand up, I cry in the congregation. Job 30:28
My harp also is turned to mourning, and my pipe into the voice of weepers. Job 30:31
For what would have been my portion of +God from above, and what the heritage of the Almighty from on high? Job 31:2
Is not calamity for the unrighteous? and misfortune for the workers of iniquity? Job 31:3
If my step have turned out of the way, and my heart followed mine eyes, and if any blot cleaveth to my hands; Job 31:7
For this is an infamy; yea, it is an iniquity to be judged by the judges: Job 31:11
If I have despised the cause of my bondman or of my bondmaid, when they contended with me, Job 31:13

After it a voice roareth: he thundereth with the voice of his excellency, and holdeth not back the flashes when his voice is heard. Job 37:4
For he saith to the snow, Fall on the earth! and to the pouring rain, even the pouring rains of his might. Job 37:6
He sealeth up the hand of every man; that all men may know his work. Job 37:7
And the wild beast goeth into its lair, and they remain in their dens. Job 37:8

Dost thou know about the balancings of the clouds, the wondrous works of him that is perfect in knowledge? Job 37:16
How thy garments become warm when he quieteth the earth by the south wind? Job 37:17
Hast thou with him spread out the sky, firm, like a molten mirror? Job 37:18
And now men see not the light as it gleameth, it is hidden in the skies. But the wind passeth by and cleareth them. Job 37:21
From the north cometh gold; with +God is terrible majesty. Job 37:22
The Almighty, we cannot find him out: excellent in power, and in judgment, and in abundance of justice, he doth not afflict. Job 37:23
And Jehovah answered Job out of the whirlwind and said, Job 38:1
Where wast thou when I founded the earth? Declare, if thou hast understanding. Job 38:4
Who set the measures thereof -- if thou knowest? or who stretched a line upon it? Job 38:5
Whereupon were the foundations thereof sunken? or who laid its corner-stone, Job 38:6
When the morning stars sang together, and all the sons of God shouted for joy? Job 38:7
And who shut up the sea with doors, when it burst forth, issuing out of the womb? Job 38:8
When I made the cloud its garment, and thick darkness a swaddling band for it; Job 38:9
Hast thou since thy days commanded the morning? hast thou caused the dawn to know its place, Job 38:12
That it might take hold of the ends of the earth, and the wicked might be shaken out of it? Job 38:13
It is changed like the signet-clay; and all things stand forth as in a garment: Job 38:14
And from the wicked their light is withholden, and the uplifted arm is broken. Job 38:15
Hast thou entered as far as the springs of the sea? and hast thou walked in the recesses of the deep? Job 38:16

Where is the way to where light dwelleth? and the darkness, where is its place, Job 38:19
That thou shouldest take it to its bound, and that thou shouldest know the paths to its house? Job 38:20
Thou knowest, for thou wast then born, and the number of thy days is great! Job 38:21
Hast thou entered into the storehouses of the snow, and hast thou seen the treasuries of the hail, Job 38:22
Which I have reserved for the time of distress, for the day of battle and war? Job 38:23
By what way is the light parted, and the east wind scattered upon the earth? Job 38:24
Who hath divided a channel for the rain-flood, and a way for the thunder's flash; Job 38:25
To cause it to rain on the earth, where no one is; on the wilderness wherein there is not a man; Job 38:26
To satisfy the desolate and waste ground, and to cause the sprout of the grass to spring forth? Job 38:27
Hath the rain a father? or who begetteth the drops of dew? Job 38:28
Out of whose womb cometh the ice? and the hoary frost of heaven, who bringeth it forth? Job 38:29
When the waters lie hidden as in stone, and the face of the deep holdeth fast together. Job 38:30
Canst thou fasten the bands of the Pleiades, or loosen the cords of Orion? Job 38:31
Dost thou bring forth the constellations each in its season? or dost thou guide the Bear with her sons? Job 38:32
Knowest thou the ordinances of the heavens? dost thou determine their rule over the earth? Job 38:33

I remember my song in the night; I muse in mine own heart, and my spirit maketh diligent search. Ps. 77:6
Will the Lord cast off for ever? and will he be favourable no more? Ps. 77:7
Then said I, This is my weakness: -- the years of the right hand of the Most High Ps. 77:10
Will I remember, -- the works of Jah; for I will remember thy wonders of old, Ps. 77:11
O God, thy way is in the sanctuary: who is so great a *god as God? Ps. 77:13
Thou art the *God that doest wonders; thou hast declared thy strength among the peoples. Ps. 77:14
Thou hast with thine arm redeemed thy people, the sons of Jacob and Joseph. Selah. Ps. 77:15
The waters saw thee, O God, the waters saw thee; they trembled, yea, the depths were troubled: Ps. 77:16
The thick clouds poured out water; the skies sent out a sound, yea, thine arrows went abroad: Ps. 77:17
The voice of thy thunder was in the whirlwind, lightnings lit up the world; the earth was troubled and it quaked. Ps. 77:18
Thy way is in the sea, and thy paths are in the great waters; and thy footsteps are not known. Ps. 77:19
Thou leddest thy people like a flock by the hand of Moses and Aaron. Ps. 77:20
Give ear, O my people, to my law; incline your ears to the words of my mouth. Ps. 78:1
We will not hide them from their sons, shewing forth to the generation to come the praises of Jehovah, and his strength, and his marvellous works which he hath done. Ps. 78:4
That the generation to come might know them, the children that should be born; that they might rise up and tell them to their children, Ps. 78:6
And that they might set their hope in God, and not forget the works of *God, but observe his commandments; Ps. 78:7
The sons of Ephraim, armed bowmen, turned back in the day of battle. Ps. 78:9
They kept not the covenant of God, and refused to walk in his law; Ps. 78:10
In the sight of their fathers had he done wonders, in the land of Egypt, the field of Zoan. Ps. 78:12
He clave the sea, and caused them to pass through; and made the waters to stand as a heap; Ps. 78:13
And he led them with a cloud in the daytime, and all the night with the light of fire. Ps. 78:14
He clave rocks in the wilderness, and gave them drink as out of the depths, abundantly; Ps. 78:15
And he brought streams out of the rock, and caused waters to run down like rivers. Ps. 78:16
Yet they still went on sinning against him, provoking the Most High in the desert; Ps. 78:17
And they spoke against God: they said, Is *God able to prepare a table in the wilderness? Ps. 78:19
Behold, he smote the rock, and waters gushed out, and streams overflowed; is he able to give bread also, or provide flesh for his people? Ps. 78:20
Though he had commanded the clouds from above, and had opened the doors of the heavens, Ps. 78:23
And had rained down manna upon them to eat, and had given them the corn of the heavens. Ps. 78:24
Man did eat the bread of the mighty; he sent them provision to the full. Ps. 78:25
He caused the east wind to rise in the heavens, and by his strength he brought the south wind; Ps. 78:26
And he rained flesh upon them as dust, and feathered fowl as the sand of the seas, Ps. 78:27
And he let it fall in the midst of their camp, round about their habitations: Ps. 78:28
When the anger of God went up against them; and he slew the fattest of them, and smote down the chosen men of Israel. Ps. 78:31
And they remembered that God was their rock, and *God, the Most High, their redeemer. Ps. 78:35
But he was merciful: he forgave the iniquity, and destroyed them not; but many a time turned he his anger away, and did not stir up all his fury: Ps. 78:38
How oft did they provoke him in the wilderness, and grieve him in the desert! Ps. 78:40
And they turned again and tempted *God, and grieved the Holy One of Israel. Ps. 78:41
They remembered not his hand, the day when he delivered them from the oppressor, Ps. 78:42
How he set his signs in Egypt, and his miracles in the field of Zoan; Ps. 78:43
And he gave their increase unto the caterpillar, and their labour unto the locust; Ps. 78:46
And he delivered up their cattle to the hail, and their flocks to thunderbolts. Ps. 78:48
He cast upon them the fierceness of his anger, wrath, and indignation, and distress, -- a mission of angels of woes. Ps. 78:49
He made a way for his anger; he spared not their soul from death, but gave their life over to the pestilence; Ps. 78:50
And he smote all the firstborn in Egypt, the first-fruits of their vigour in the tents of Ham. Ps. 78:51
And he made his own people to go forth like sheep, and guided them in the wilderness like a flock; Ps. 78:52
And he led them safely, so that they were without fear; and the sea covered their enemies. Ps. 78:53
And he drove out the nations before them, and allotted them for an inheritance by line, and made the tribes of Israel to dwell in their tents. Ps. 78:55
But they tempted and provoked God, the Most High, and kept not his testimonies, Ps. 78:56
And he forsook the tabernacle at Shiloh, the tent where he had dwelt among men, Ps. 78:60
And gave his strength into captivity, and his glory into the hand of the oppressor; Ps. 78:61
And delivered up his people unto the sword, and was very wroth with his inheritance: Ps. 78:62
The fire consumed their young men, and their maidens were not praised in nuptial song; Ps. 78:63
Their priests fell by the sword, and their widows made no lamentation. Ps. 78:64
Then the Lord awoke as one out of sleep, like a mighty man that shouteth aloud by reason of wine; Ps. 78:65
And he smote his adversaries in the hinder part, and put them to everlasting reproach. Ps. 78:66
And he rejected the tent of Joseph, and chose not the tribe of Ephraim, Ps. 78:67
But chose the tribe of Judah, the mount Zion which he loved; Ps. 78:68
And he built his sanctuary like the heights, like the earth which he hath founded for ever. Ps. 78:69
And he chose David his servant, and took him from the sheepfolds: Ps. 78:70
From following the suckling-ewes, he brought him to feed Jacob his people, and Israel his inheritance. Ps. 78:71
And he fed them according to the integrity of his heart, and led them by the skilfulness of his hands. Ps. 78:72
O God, the nations are come into thine inheritance: thy holy temple have they defiled; they have laid Jerusalem in heaps. Ps. 79:1
The dead bodies of thy servants have they given to be meat unto the fowl of the heavens, the flesh of thy saints unto the beasts of the earth: Ps. 79:2
Pour out thy fury upon the nations that have not known thee, and upon the kingdoms that call not upon thy name: Ps. 79:6
Remember not against us the iniquities of our forefathers; let thy tender mercies speedily come to meet us: for we are brought very low. Ps. 79:8
Help us, O God of our salvation, because of the glory of thy name; and deliver us, and forgive our sins, for thy name's sake. Ps. 79:9
Wherefore should the nations say, Where is their God? Let the avenging of the blood of thy servants that is shed be known among the nations in our sight. Ps. 79:10
Let the groaning of the prisoner come before thee; according to the greatness of thine arm, preserve those that are appointed to die; Ps. 79:11
And we, thy people and the sheep of thy pasture, will give thanks unto thee for ever; we will shew forth thy praise from generation to generation. Ps. 79:13
Give ear, O Shepherd of Israel, thou that leadest Joseph like a flock; thou that sittest between the cherubim, shine forth. Ps. 80:1
Jehovah, God of hosts, how long will thine anger smoke against the prayer of thy people? Ps. 80:4
Thou hast fed them with the bread of tears, and given them tears to drink in large measure: Ps. 80:5
Thou broughtest a vine out of Egypt; thou didst cast out the nations, and plant it: Ps. 80:8
Thou preparedst space before it, and it took deep root, and filled the land; Ps. 80:9
The mountains were covered with its shadow, and the branches thereof were like cedars of *God; Ps. 80:10
It sent out its boughs unto the sea, and its shoots unto the river. Ps. 80:11
Why hast thou broken down its fences, so that all who pass by the way do pluck it? Ps. 80:12
The boar out of the forest doth waste it, and the beast of the field doth feed off it. Ps. 80:13
O God of hosts, return, we beseech thee; look down from the heavens, and behold, and visit this vine; Ps. 80:14
Even the stock which thy right hand hath planted, and the young plant thou madest strong for thyself. Ps. 80:15
It is burned with fire, it is cut down; they perish at the rebuke of thy countenance. Ps. 80:16
Let thy hand be upon the man of thy right hand, upon the son of man whom thou hast made strong for thyself. Ps. 80:17
Sing ye joyously unto God our strength, shout aloud unto the God of Jacob; Ps. 81:1
Raise a song, and sound the tambour, the pleasant harp with the lute. Ps. 81:2
Blow the trumpet at the new moon, at the set time, on our feast day: Ps. 81:3
For this is a statute for Israel, an ordinance of the God of Jacob; Ps. 81:4
He ordained it in Joseph for a testimony, when he went forth over the land of Egypt, where I heard a language that I knew not. Ps. 81:5
I removed his shoulder from the burden; his hands were freed from the basket. Ps. 81:6
Thou calledst in trouble, and I delivered thee; I answered thee in the secret place of thunder; I proved thee at the waters of Meribah. Selah. Ps. 81:7
I am Jehovah thy God, that brought thee up out of the land of Egypt: open thy mouth wide, and I will fill it. Ps. 81:10
The haters of Jehovah would have come cringing unto him; but their time would have been for ever. Ps. 81:15
And he would have fed them with the finest of wheat; yea, with honey out of the rock would I have satisfied thee. Ps. 81:16
God standeth in the assembly of *God, he judgeth among the gods. Ps. 82:1
How long will ye judge unrighteously, and accept the person of the wicked? Selah. Ps. 82:2
Judge the poor and the fatherless, do justice to the afflicted and the destitute; Ps. 82:3

They know not, neither do they understand; they walk on in darkness: all the foundations of the earth are moved. Ps. 82:5
I have said, Ye are gods, and all of you are children of the Most High; Ps. 82:6
But ye shall die like men, and fall like one of the princes. Ps. 82:7
Arise, O God, judge the earth; for *thou* shalt inherit all the nations. Ps. 82:8
For behold, thine enemies make a tumult; and they that hate thee lift up the head. Ps. 83:2
They say, Come, and let us cut them off from being a nation, and let the name of Israel be mentioned no more. Ps. 83:4
The tents of Edom and the Ishmaelites, Moab and the Hagarites; Ps. 83:6
Gebal, and Ammon, and Amalek; Philistia, with the inhabitants of Tyre; Ps. 83:7
Asshur also is joined with them: they are an arm to the sons of Lot. Selah. Ps. 83:8
Do unto them as to Midian; as to Sisera, as to Jabin, at the torrent of Kishon: Ps. 83:9
Who were destroyed at Endor; they became as dung for the ground. Ps. 83:10
O my God, make them like a whirling thing, like stubble before the wind. Ps. 83:13
As fire burneth a forest, and as the flame setteth the mountains on fire, Ps. 83:14
That they may know that thou alone, whose name is Jehovah, art the Most High over all the earth. Ps. 83:18

to know wisdom and instruction; to discern the words of understanding; Pr. 1:2
to receive the instruction of wisdom, righteousness and judgment, and equity; Pr. 1:3
to give prudence to the simple, to the young man knowledge and discretion. Pr. 1:4
He that is wise will hear, and will increase learning; and the intelligent will gain wise counsels: Pr. 1:5
to understand a proverb and an allegory, the words of the wise and their enigmas. Pr. 1:6
The fear of Jehovah is the beginning of knowledge: fools despise wisdom and instruction. Pr. 1:7
Hear, my son, the instruction of thy father, and forsake not the teaching of thy mother; Pr. 1:8
If they say, Come with us, let us lay wait for blood, let us lurk secretly for the innocent without cause; Pr. 1:11
let us swallow them up alive as Sheol, and whole, as those that go down into the pit; Pr. 1:12
-- my son, walk not in the way with them, keep back thy foot from their path; Pr. 1:15
For in vain the net is spread in the sight of anything which hath wings. Pr. 1:17
So are the paths of every one that is greedy of gain: it taketh away the life of its possessors. Pr. 1:19
Wisdom crieth without; she raiseth her voice in the broadways; Pr. 1:20
she calleth in the chief place of concourse, in the entry of the gates; in the city she uttereth her words: Pr. 1:21
How long, simple ones, will ye love simpleness, and scorners take pleasure in their scorning, and the foolish hate knowledge? Pr. 1:22
Because they hated knowledge, and did not choose the fear of Jehovah; Pr. 1:29
therefore shall they eat of the fruit of their way, and be filled with their own devices. Pr. 1:31
For the turning away of the simple shall slay them, and the prosperity of the foolish shall cause them to perish. Pr. 1:32
then shalt thou understand the fear of Jehovah, and find the knowledge of God. Pr. 2:5
He layeth up sound wisdom for the upright; he is a shield to them that walk in integrity; Pr. 2:7
guarding the paths of just judgment and keeping the way of his godly ones. Pr. 2:8
To deliver thee from the way of evil, from the man that speaketh froward things; Pr. 2:12
from those who leave the paths of uprightness, to walk in the ways of darkness; Pr. 2:13
who rejoice to do evil, and delight in the frowardness of evil; Pr. 2:14
To deliver thee from the strange woman, from the stranger who flattereth with her words; Pr. 2:16
who forsaketh the guide of her youth, and forgetteth the covenant of her God; Pr. 2:17
-- for her house inclineth unto death, and her paths unto the dead; Pr. 2:18
none that go unto her return again, neither do they attain to the paths of life: Pr. 2:19
-- that thou mayest walk in the way of the good, and keep the paths of the righteous. Pr. 2:20
For the upright shall dwell in the land, and the perfect shall remain in it; Pr. 2:21
but the wicked shall be cut off from the land, and the unfaithful shall be plucked up out of it. Pr. 2:22
Let not loving-kindness and truth forsake thee; bind them about thy neck, write them upon the tablet of thy heart: Pr. 3:3
and thou shalt find favour and good understanding in the sight of God and man. Pr. 3:4
Honour Jehovah with thy substance, and with the first-fruits of all thine increase; Pr. 3:9
My son, despise not the instruction of Jehovah, neither be weary of his chastisement; Pr. 3:11
for whom Jehovah loveth he chasteneth, even as a father the son in whom he delighteth. Pr. 3:12
Blessed is the man that findeth wisdom, and the man that getteth understanding. Pr. 3:13
For the gain thereof is better than the gain of silver, and her revenue than fine gold. Pr. 3:14
She is more precious than rubies; and all the things thou canst desire are not equal unto her. Pr. 3:15
Jehovah by wisdom founded the earth; by understanding he established the heavens. Pr. 3:19
By his knowledge the deeps were broken up, and the skies drop down the dew. Pr. 3:20
Be not afraid of sudden fear, neither of the destruction of the wicked, when it cometh; Pr. 3:25
Withhold not good from them to whom it is due, when it is in the power of thy hand to do it. Pr. 3:27
Envy not the man of violence, and choose none of his ways. Pr. 3:31
For the perverse is an abomination to Jehovah; but his secret is with the upright. Pr. 3:32
The curse of Jehovah is in the house of the wicked; but he blesseth the habitation of the righteous. Pr. 3:33
He indeed scorneth the scorners; but he giveth grace unto the lowly. Pr. 3:34
The wise shall inherit glory; but shame shall be the promotion of the foolish. Pr. 3:35
Hear, ye children, the instruction of a father, and attend to know intelligence; Pr. 4:1
For I was a son unto my father, tender and an only one in the sight of my mother. Pr. 4:3
Get wisdom, get intelligence: forget it not; neither decline from the words of my mouth. Pr. 4:5
The beginning of wisdom is, Get wisdom; and with all thy getting get intelligence. Pr. 4:7
Hear, my son, and receive my sayings, and the years of thy life shall be multiplied. Pr. 4:10
I will teach thee in the way of wisdom, I will lead thee in paths of uprightness. Pr. 4:11
Enter not into the path of the wicked, and go not in the way of evil men: Pr. 4:14
For they eat the bread of wickedness, and drink the wine of violence. Pr. 4:17
But the path of the righteous is as the shining light, going on and brightening until the day be fully come. Pr. 4:18
The way of the wicked is as darkness: they know not at what they stumble. Pr. 4:19
Let them not depart from thine eyes; keep them in the midst of thy heart. Pr. 4:21
Keep thy heart more than anything that is guarded; for out of it are the issues of life. Pr. 4:23
Ponder the path of thy feet, and let all thy ways be well-ordered. Pr. 4:26
Turn not to the right hand nor to the left; remove thy foot from evil. Pr. 4:27
For the lips of the strange woman drop honey, and her mouth is smoother than oil; Pr. 5:3
Lest she should ponder the path of life, her ways wander, she knoweth not whither. Pr. 5:6
And now, children, hearken unto me, and depart not from the words of my mouth. Pr. 5:7
Remove thy way far from her, and come not nigh the door of her house: Pr. 5:8
lest thou give thine honour unto others, and thy years unto the cruel; Pr. 5:9
lest strangers be filled with thy wealth, and the fruits of thy toil come into the house of a stranger; Pr. 5:10
and I have not hearkened unto the voice of my teachers, nor inclined mine ear to those that instructed me; Pr. 5:13
I was well nigh in all evil in the midst of the congregation and assembly. Pr. 5:14
Thy fountains shall be poured forth, as water-brooks in the broadways. Pr. 5:16
Let thy fountain be blessed; and have joy of the wife of thy youth. Pr. 5:18
And why shouldest thou, my son, be ravished with a strange woman, and embrace the bosom of a stranger? Pr. 5:20
For the ways of man are before the eyes of Jehovah, and he pondereth all his paths. Pr. 5:21
His own iniquities shall take the wicked, and he shall be holden with the cords of his sin. Pr. 5:22
He shall die for want of discipline; and in the greatness of his folly he shall go astray. Pr. 5:23
thou art snared with the words of thy mouth, thou art taken with the words of thy mouth. Pr. 6:2
Do this now, my son, and deliver thyself, since thou hast come into the hand of thy friend: go, humble thyself, and be urgent with thy friend. Pr. 6:3
deliver thyself as a gazelle from the hand of the hunter, and as a bird from the hand of the fowler. Pr. 6:5
Go to the ant, thou sluggard; consider her ways and be wise: Pr. 6:6
provideth her bread in the summer, and gathereth her food in the harvest. Pr. 6:8
A little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to rest! Pr. 6:10
My son, observe thy father's commandment, and forsake not the teaching of thy mother; Pr. 6:20
For the commandment is a lamp, and the teaching a light, and reproofs of instruction are the way of life: Pr. 6:23
to keep thee from the evil woman, from the flattery of the tongue of a strange woman. Pr. 6:24
for by means of a whorish woman a man is brought to a loaf of bread, and another's wife doth hunt for the precious soul. Pr. 6:26
and if he be found, he shall restore sevenfold; he shall give all the substance of his house. Pr. 6:31
For jealousy is the rage of a man, and he will not spare in the day of vengeance; Pr. 6:34
Keep my commandments, and live; and my teaching, as the apple of thine eye. Pr. 7:2
Bind them upon thy fingers, write them upon the tablet of thy heart. Pr. 7:3
that they may keep thee from the strange woman, from the stranger who flattereth with her words. Pr. 7:5

Very crooked is the way of a guilty man; but as for the pure, his work is upright. Pr. 21:8
It is better to dwell in a corner of the housetop, than with a contentious woman, and a house in common. Pr. 21:9

When the scorner is punished, the simple becometh wise; and when the wise is instructed, he receiveth knowledge. Pr. 21:11
One that is righteous wisely considereth the house of the wicked: he overthroweth the wicked to their ruin. Pr. 21:12
Whoso stoppeth his ears at the cry of the poor, he also himself shall cry, and shall not be heard. Pr. 21:13
A gift in secret pacifieth anger; and a present in the bosom, vehement fury. Pr. 21:14
It is joy to a righteous man to do what is right; but it is ruin for the workers of iniquity. Pr. 21:15
The man that wandereth out of the way of wisdom shall abide in the congregation of the dead. Pr. 21:16
The wicked is a ransom for the righteous, and a treacherous man in the stead of the upright. Pr. 21:18
There is costly store and oil in the dwelling of a wise man; but a foolish man swalloweth it up. Pr. 21:20
A wise man scaleth the city of the mighty, and casteth down the strength of the confidence thereof. Pr. 21:22
The desire of the sluggard killeth him; for his hands refuse to work: Pr. 21:25

The sacrifice of the wicked is abomination: how much more when they bring it with a wicked purpose! Pr. 21:27
A wicked man hardeneth his face; but as for the upright, he establisheth his way. Pr. 21:29

Incline thine ear, and hear the words of the wise, and apply thy heart unto my knowledge. Pr. 22:17
that I might make thee know the certainty of the words of truth; that thou mightest carry back words of truth to them that send thee? Pr. 22:21

for Jehovah will plead their cause, and despoil the soul of those that despoil them. Pr. 22:23
Remove not the ancient landmark which thy fathers have set. Pr. 22:28
Hast thou seen a man diligent in his work? He shall stand before kings; he shall not stand before the mean. Pr. 22:29

-- They that tarry long at the wine; they that go to try mixed wine. Pr. 23:30
Look not upon the wine when it is red, when it sparkleth in the cup, and goeth down smoothly: Pr. 23:31
at the last it biteth like a serpent, and stingeth like an adder. Pr. 23:32
and thou shalt be as he that lieth down in the midst of the sea, and as he that lieth down upon the top of a mast: Pr. 23:34
and by knowledge are the chambers filled with all precious and pleasant substance. Pr. 24:4

My son, fear Jehovah and the king: meddle not with them that are given to change. Pr. 24:21
For their calamity shall rise suddenly; and who knoweth the ruin of them both? Pr. 24:22
These things also come from the wise. It is not good to have respect of persons in judgment. Pr. 24:23
He that saith unto the wicked, Thou art righteous, peoples shall curse him, nations shall abhor him; Pr. 24:24

I went by the field of a sluggard, and by the vineyard of a man void of understanding; Pr. 24:30
and lo, it was all grown over with thistles, and nettles had covered the face thereof, and its stone wall was broken down. Pr. 24:31
-- A little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to rest! Pr. 24:33
These are also proverbs of Solomon, which the men of Hezekiah king of Judah transcribed. Pr. 25:1

The heavens for height, and the earth for depth, and the heart of kings is unsearchable. Pr. 25:3

take away the wicked from before the king, and his throne shall be established in righteousness. Pr. 25:5

for better it is that it be said unto thee, Come up hither, than that thou shouldest be put lower in the presence of the prince whom thine eyes see. Pr. 25:7
Go not forth hastily to strive, lest thou know not what to do in the end thereof, when thy neighbour hath put thee to shame. Pr. 25:8

It is better to dwell in a corner of the housetop, than with a contentious woman, and a house in common. Pr. 25:24
A troubled fountain, and a defiled well, is a righteous man that giveth way before the wicked. Pr. 25:26
As the sparrow for flitting about, as the swallow for flying, so a curse undeserved shall not come. Pr. 26:2
A whip for the horse, a bridle for the ass, and a rod for the back of fools. Pr. 26:3
He that sendeth a message by the hand of a fool cutteth off his own feet, and drinketh damage. Pr. 26:6
The legs of the lame hang loose; so is a proverb in the mouth of fools. Pr. 26:7
As a thorn goeth up into the hand of a drunkard, so is a proverb in the mouth of fools. Pr. 26:9
A master roughly worketh every one: he both hireth the fool and hireth passers-by. Pr. 26:10
The sluggard saith, There is a fierce lion in the way; a lion is in the midst of the streets! Pr. 26:13
As the door turneth upon its hinges, so the sluggard upon his bed. Pr. 26:14
The sluggard burieth his hand in the dish: it wearieth him to bring it again to his mouth. Pr. 26:15
He that passing by vexeth himself with strife belonging not to him, is like one that taketh a dog by the ears. Pr. 26:17
Where no wood is, the fire goeth out; and where there is no talebearer, the contention ceaseth. Pr. 26:20
The words of a talebearer are as dainty morsels, and they go down into the innermost parts of the belly. Pr. 26:22
Though his hatred is covered by dissimulation, his wickedness shall be made manifest in the congregation. Pr. 26:26
A stone is heavy, and the sand weighty; but a fool's vexation is heavier than them both. Pr. 27:3
Faithful are the wounds of a friend; but the kisses of an enemy are profuse. Pr. 27:6
The full soul trampleth on a honeycomb; but to the hungry soul every bitter thing is sweet. Pr. 27:7
Ointment and perfume rejoice the heart; and the sweetness of one's friend is the fruit of hearty counsel. Pr. 27:9
Thine own friend, and thy father's friend, forsake not; and go not into thy brother's house in the day of thy calamity: better is a neighbour that is near than a brother far off. Pr. 27:10
A prudent man seeth the evil, and hideth himself; the simple pass on, and are punished. Pr. 27:12
He that blesseth his friend with a loud voice, rising early in the morning, it shall be reckoned a curse to him. Pr. 27:14
whosoever will restrain her restraineth the wind, and his right hand encountereth oil. Pr. 27:16
Iron is sharpened by iron; so a man sharpeneth the countenance of his friend. Pr. 27:17
Whoso keepeth the fig-tree shall eat the fruit thereof; and he that guardeth his master shall be honoured. Pr. 27:18
As in water face answereth to face, so the heart of man to man. Pr. 27:19
Sheol and destruction are insatiable; so the eyes of man are never satisfied. Pr. 27:20
The fining-pot is for silver, and the furnace for gold; so let a man be to the mouth that praiseth him. Pr. 27:21
Be well acquainted with the appearance of thy flocks; look well to thy herds: Pr. 27:23
for wealth is not for ever; and doth the crown endure from generation to generation? Pr. 27:24
The hay is removed, and the tender grass sheweth itself, and herbs of the mountains are gathered in. Pr. 27:25
The lambs are for thy clothing, and the goats are the price of a field; Pr. 27:26
and there is goats' milk enough for thy food, for the food of thy household, and sustenance for thy maidens. Pr. 27:27
The wicked flee when no man pursueth; but the righteous are bold as a lion. Pr. 28:1
By the transgression of a land many are the princes thereof; but by a man of understanding and of knowledge, its stability is prolonged. Pr. 28:2
A poor man who oppresseth the helpless is a sweeping rain which leaveth no food. Pr. 28:3
They that forsake the law praise the wicked; but such as keep the law contend with them. Pr. 28:4
Better is the poor that walketh in his integrity, than he that is perverse, double in ways, though he be rich. Pr. 28:6
Whoso observeth the law is a son that hath understanding; but he that is a companion of profligates bringeth shame to his father. Pr. 28:7
He that by usury and unjust gain increaseth his substance gathereth it for him that is gracious to the poor. Pr. 28:8
He that turneth away his ear from hearing the law, even his prayer is an abomination. Pr. 28:9
Whoso causeth the upright to go astray in an evil way, shall himself fall into his own pit; but the perfect shall inherit good. Pr. 28:10
A rich man is wise in his own eyes; but the poor that hath understanding searcheth him out. Pr. 28:11
When the righteous triumph, there is great glory; but when the wicked rise, men conceal themselves. Pr. 28:12
Happy is the man that feareth always; but he that hardeneth his heart shall fall into evil. Pr. 28:14
The prince void of intelligence is also a great oppressor: he that hateth covetousness shall prolong his days. Pr. 28:16
A man laden with the blood of any person, fleeth to the pit: let no man stay him. Pr. 28:17
He that tilleth his land shall be satisfied with bread; but he that followeth the worthless shall have poverty enough. Pr. 28:19
He that rebuketh a man shall afterwards find more favour than he that flattereth with the tongue. Pr. 28:23
Whoso robbeth his father and his mother, and saith, It is no transgression, the same is the companion of a destroyer. Pr. 28:24
He that giveth unto the poor shall not lack; but he that withdraweth his eyes shall have many a curse. Pr. 28:27
When the wicked rise, men hide themselves; but when they perish, the righteous increase. Pr. 28:28
When the righteous increase, the people rejoice; but when the wicked beareth rule, the people mourn. Pr. 29:2
A king by just judgment establisheth the land; but he that taketh gifts overthroweth it. Pr. 29:4
In the transgression of an evil man there is a snare; but the righteous shall sing and rejoice. Pr. 29:6
The righteous taketh knowledge of the cause of the poor; the wicked understandeth not knowledge. Pr. 29:7
Scornful men set the city in a flame; but the wise turn away anger. Pr. 29:8
The bloodthirsty hate the perfect, but the upright care for his soul. Pr. 29:10
The indigent and the oppressor meet together; Jehovah lighteneth the eyes of them both. Pr. 29:13
A king that faithfully judgeth the poor, his throne shall be established for ever. Pr. 29:14
The rod and reproof give wisdom; but a child left to himself bringeth his mother to shame. Pr. 29:15
When the wicked increase, transgression increaseth; but the righteous shall see their fall. Pr. 29:16
Where there is no vision the people cast off restraint; but happy is he that keepeth the law. Pr. 29:18
He that delicately bringeth up his servant from a child, shall in the end have him as a son. Pr. 29:21
A man's pride bringeth him low; but the humble in spirit shall obtain honour. Pr. 29:23
Whoso shareth with a thief hateth his own soul: he heareth the adjuration, and declareth not. Pr. 29:24
The fear of man bringeth a snare; but whoso putteth his confidence in Jehovah is protected. Pr. 29:25
Many seek the ruler's face; but a man's right judgment is from Jehovah. Pr. 29:26
An unjust man is an abomination to the righteous; and he that is of upright way is an abomination to the wicked man. Pr. 29:27
The words of Agur the son of Jakeh; the prophecy uttered by the man unto Ithiel, even unto Ithiel and Ucal: Pr. 30:1
I have neither learned wisdom, nor have I the knowledge of the Holy. Pr. 30:3
Who hath ascended up into the heavens, and descended? Who hath gathered the wind in his fists? Who hath bound the waters in a mantle? Who hath established all the ends of the earth? What is his name, and what is his son's name, if thou knowest? Pr. 30:4
Remove far from me vanity and lies; give me neither poverty nor riches; feed me with the bread of my daily need: Pr. 30:8
lest I be full and deny thee, and say, Who is Jehovah? or lest I be poor and steal, and outrage the name of my God. Pr. 30:9
-- a generation whose teeth are swords, and their jaw-teeth knives, to devour the afflicted from off the earth, and the needy from among men. Pr. 30:14
The leech hath two daughters: Give, give. There are three things never satisfied; four which say not, It is enough: Pr. 30:15
-- Sheol, and the barren womb; the earth which is not filled with water, and the fire which saith not, It is enough. Pr. 30:16
The eye that mocketh at a father, and despiseth to obey a mother, the ravens of the valley shall pick it out, and the young eagles shall eat it. Pr. 30:17
The way of an eagle in the heavens, the way of a serpent upon a rock, the way of a ship in the midst of the sea, and the way of a man with a maid. Pr. 30:19
Such is the way of an adulterous woman: she eateth, and wipeth her mouth, and saith, I have done no wickedness. Pr. 30:20
Under three things the earth is disquieted, and under four it cannot bear up: Pr. 30:21
There are four things little upon the earth, and they are exceeding wise: Pr. 30:24
The ants, a people not strong, yet they provide their food in the summer; Pr. 30:25
the rock-badgers are but a feeble folk, yet they make their house in the cliff; Pr. 30:26
the locusts have no king, yet they go forth all of them by bands; Pr. 30:27
thou takest hold of the lizard with the hands, yet is she in kings' palaces. Pr. 30:28
The lion, mighty among beasts, which turneth not away for any; Pr. 30:30
a horse girt in the loins; or the he-goat; and a king, against whom none can rise up. Pr. 30:31
If thou hast done foolishly in lifting up thyself, or if thou hast thought evil, lay the hand upon thy mouth. Pr. 30:32
For the pressing of milk bringeth forth butter, and the pressing of the nose bringeth forth blood; and the pressing of anger bringeth forth strife. Pr. 30:33
The words of king Lemuel, the prophecy that his mother taught him: Pr. 31:1
It is not for kings, Lemuel, it is not for kings to drink wine, nor for rulers to say, Where is the strong drink? Pr. 31:4
-- lest they drink and forget the law, and pervert the judgment of any of the children of affliction. Pr. 31:5
Give strong drink unto him that is ready to perish, and wine unto the bitter of soul: Pr. 31:6
Open thy mouth for the dumb, for the cause of all those that are left desolate. Pr. 31:8
Open thy mouth, judge righteously, and minister justice to the afflicted and needy. Pr. 31:9
The heart of her husband confideth in her, and he shall have no lack of spoil. Pr. 31:11
She doeth him good, and not evil, all the days of her life. Pr. 31:12
She is like the merchants' ships: she bringeth her food from afar; Pr. 31:14
And she riseth while it is yet night, and giveth meat to her household, and the day's work to her maidens. Pr. 31:15
She considereth a field, and acquireth it; of the fruit of her hands she planteth a vineyard. Pr. 31:16
She putteth her hands to the distaff, and her hands hold the spindle. Pr. 31:19
She stretcheth out her hand to the afflicted, and she reacheth forth her hands to the needy. Pr. 31:20
She is not afraid of the snow for her household; for all her household are clothed with scarlet. Pr. 31:21
Her husband is known in the gates, when he sitteth among the elders of the land. Pr. 31:23
She maketh body linen and selleth it, and delivereth girdles unto the merchant. Pr. 31:24
Strength and dignity are her clothing, and she laugheth at the coming day. Pr. 31:25
She openeth her mouth with wisdom; and upon her tongue is the law of kindness. Pr. 31:26
She surveyeth the ways of her household, and eateth not the bread of idleness. Pr. 31:27
Give her of the fruit of her hands, and let her own works praise her in the gates. Pr. 31:31
The words of the Preacher, the son of David, king in Jerusalem. Eccl. 1:1
Vanity of vanities, saith the Preacher, vanity of vanities! all is vanity. Eccl. 1:2
What profit hath man of all his labour wherewith he laboureth under the sun? Eccl. 1:3
One generation passeth away, and another generation cometh, but the earth standeth for ever. Eccl. 1:4
The sun also riseth, and the sun goeth down, and hasteth to its place where it ariseth. Eccl. 1:5
The wind goeth towards the south, and turneth about towards the north: it turneth about continually, and the wind returneth again to its circuits. Eccl. 1:6
All the rivers run into the sea, yet the sea is not full: unto the place whither the rivers go, thither they go again. Eccl. 1:7
All things are full of toil; none can express it. The eye is not satisfied with seeing, nor the ear filled with hearing. Eccl. 1:8
That which hath been is that which shall be; and that which hath been done is that which will be done: and there is nothing new under the sun. Eccl. 1:9
Is there a thing whereof it may be said, See, this is new? It hath been already in the ages which were before us. Eccl. 1:10
I, the Preacher, was king over Israel in Jerusalem. Eccl. 1:12
And I applied my heart to seek and search out by wisdom concerning all that is done under the heavens: this grievous occupation hath God given to the children of men to weary themselves therewith. Eccl. 1:13
I have seen all the works that are done under the sun, and behold, all is vanity and pursuit of the wind. Eccl. 1:14
And I applied my heart to the knowledge of wisdom, and to the knowledge of madness and folly: I perceived that this also is a striving after the wind. Eccl. 1:17
I searched in my heart how to cherish my flesh with wine, while practising my heart with wisdom; and how to lay hold on folly, till I should see what was that good for the children of men which they should do under the heavens all the days of their life. Eccl. 2:3
I made me ponds of water, to water therewith the wood, where the trees are reared. Eccl. 2:6
I gathered me also silver and gold, and the peculiar treasure of kings and of the provinces; I got me men-singers and women-singers, and the delights of the children of men, a wife and concubines. Eccl. 2:8
Then I looked on all the works that my hands had wrought, and on the labour that it had cost me to do them; and behold, all was vanity and pursuit of the wind, and there was no profit under the sun. Eccl. 2:11
And I turned myself to behold wisdom, and madness, and folly; for what shall the man do that cometh after the king? -- that which hath already been done. Eccl. 2:12
The wise man's eyes are in his head, and the fool walketh in darkness; but I myself also perceived that one event happeneth to them all. Eccl. 2:14
And I said in my heart, As it happeneth to the fool so will it happen even to me; and why was I then so wise? Then I said in my heart that this also is vanity. Eccl. 2:15
For there shall be no remembrance of the wise more than of the fool for ever; because everything is already forgotten in the days which come. And how dieth the wise even as the fool? Eccl. 2:16
And I hated life; for the work that is wrought under the sun was grievous unto me; for all is vanity and pursuit of the wind. Eccl. 2:17
And I hated all my labour wherewith I had been toiling under the sun, because I should leave it unto the man that shall be after me. Eccl. 2:18
And who knoweth whether he will be a wise man or a fool? yet shall he have rule over all my labour at which I have laboured, and wherein I have been wise under the sun. This also is vanity. Eccl. 2:19
Then I went about to cause my heart to despair of all the labour wherewith I had laboured under the sun. Eccl. 2:20
For what will man have of all his labour and of the striving of his heart, wherewith he hath wearied himself under the sun? Eccl. 2:22
For all his days are sorrows, and his travail vexation: even in the night his heart taketh no rest. This also is vanity. Eccl. 2:23
There is nothing good for man, but that he should eat and drink, and that he should make his soul enjoy good in his labour. This also I saw, that it was from the hand of God. Eccl. 2:24
For he giveth to a man that is good in his sight wisdom, and knowledge, and joy; but to the sinner he giveth travail to gather and to heap up, that he may give to him that is good in God's sight. This also is vanity and pursuit of the wind. Eccl. 2:26
To everything there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heavens: Eccl. 3:1
I have seen the travail that God hath given to the sons of men to toil in. Eccl. 3:10
He hath made everything beautiful in its time; also he hath set the world in their heart, so that man findeth not out from the beginning to the end the work that God doeth. Eccl. 3:11
yea also that every man should eat and drink, and enjoy good in all his labour, it is the gift of God. Eccl. 3:13
And moreover I saw under the sun, that in the place of judgment, wickedness was there; and in the place of righteousness, wickedness was there. Eccl. 3:16
I said in my heart, God will judge the righteous and the wicked; for there is a time there for every purpose and for every work. Eccl. 3:17
I said in my heart, It is thus with the children of men, that God may prove them, and that they should see that they themselves are but beasts. Eccl. 3:18
For what befalleth the children of men befalleth beasts; even one thing befalleth them: as the one dieth, so dieth the other, and they have all one breath; and man hath no pre-eminence above the beast: for all is vanity. Eccl. 3:19
All go unto one place: all are of the dust, and all return to dust. Eccl. 3:20
Who knoweth the spirit of the children of men? Doth it go upwards? and the spirit of the beasts, doth it go downwards to the earth? Eccl. 3:21
And I returned and saw all the oppressions that are done under the sun: and behold, the tears of the oppressed, and they had no comforter; and on the side of their oppressors was power, and they had no comforter. Eccl. 4:1
Then I praised the dead who are already dead more than the living who are yet alive; Eccl. 4:2
and more fortunate than both is he who hath not yet been, who hath not seen the evil work that is done under the sun. Eccl. 4:3
And I saw all labour, and all success of work, that it is man's jealousy of his neighbour. This also is vanity and pursuit of the wind. Eccl. 4:4
The fool foldeth his hands together, and eateth his own flesh. Eccl. 4:5
Better is a handful with quietness, than both hands full with labour and pursuit of the wind. Eccl. 4:6
And I returned and saw vanity under the sun. Eccl. 4:7
For if they fall, the one will lift up his fellow; but woe to him that is alone when he falleth, and who hath not another to lift him up! Eccl. 4:10
And if a man overpower the one, the two shall withstand him; and a threefold cord is not quickly broken. Eccl. 4:12
For out of the prison-house he came forth to reign, although he was born poor in his kingdom. Eccl. 4:14
I saw all the living that walk under the sun, with the child, the second, that should stand up in his stead. Eccl. 4:15
There is no end of all the people, of all that stood before them; those however that come after shall not rejoice in him. Surely this also is vanity and a striving after the wind. Eccl. 4:16
Keep thy foot when thou goest to the house of God, and draw near to hear, rather than to give the sacrifice of fools: for they know not that they do evil. Eccl. 5:1
Be not rash with thy mouth, and let not thy heart be hasty to utter anything before God: for God is in the heavens, and thou upon earth; therefore let thy words be few. Eccl. 5:2
For a dream cometh through the multitude of business, and a fool's voice through a multitude of words. Eccl. 5:3
Suffer not thy mouth to cause thy flesh to sin; neither say thou before the angel, that it was an inadvertence. Wherefore should God be wroth at thy voice, and destroy the work of thy hands? Eccl. 5:6
For in the multitude of dreams are vanities; so with many words: but fear God. Eccl. 5:7
If thou seest the oppression of the poor, and violent perverting of judgment and justice in a province, marvel not at the matter; for a higher than the high is watching, and there are higher than they. Eccl. 5:8
Moreover the earth is every way profitable: the king himself is dependent upon the field. Eccl. 5:9
When goods increase, they are increased that eat them; and what profit is there to the owner thereof, except the beholding of them with his eyes? Eccl. 5:11
The sleep of the labourer is sweet, whether he have eaten little or much; but the fulness of the rich doth not suffer him to sleep. Eccl. 5:12
There is a grievous evil that I have seen under the sun: riches kept for the owners thereof to their hurt; Eccl. 5:13
And this also is a grievous evil, that in all points as he came so doth he go away, and what profit hath he, in having laboured for the wind? Eccl. 5:16
Behold what I have seen good and comely: it is to eat and to drink, and to enjoy good in all his labour wherewith man laboureth under the sun, all the days of his life which God hath given him: for that is his portion. Eccl. 5:18
For he will not much remember the days of his life, because God answereth him with the joy of his heart. Eccl. 5:20
There is an evil that I have seen under the sun, and it is frequent among men: Eccl. 6:1
If a man beget a hundred sons, and live many years, so that the days of his years be many, but his soul be not filled with good, and also he have no burial, I say an untimely birth is better than he. Eccl. 6:3
moreover it hath not seen nor known the sun: this hath rest rather than the other. Eccl. 6:5
All the labour of man is for his mouth, and yet the appetite is not filled. Eccl. 6:7
For what advantage hath the wise above the fool? what hath the poor, that knoweth to walk before the living? Eccl. 6:8
Better is the seeing of the eyes than the wandering of the desire: this also is vanity and pursuit of the wind. Eccl. 6:9
For who knoweth what is good for man in life, all the days of his vain life which he spendeth as a shadow? for who can tell man what shall be after him under the sun? Eccl. 6:12
A good name is better than precious ointment, and the day of death than the day of one's birth. Eccl. 7:1
It is better to go to the house of mourning than to go to the house of feasting: in that that is the end of all men, and the living taketh it to heart. Eccl. 7:2
Vexation is better than laughter; for by the sadness of the countenance the heart is made better. Eccl. 7:3
The heart of the wise is in the house of mourning, but the heart of fools in the house of mirth. Eccl. 7:4
It is better for a man to hear the rebuke of the wise, than to hear the song of fools. Eccl. 7:5
For as the crackling of thorns under a pot, so is the laughter of the fool. This also is vanity. Eccl. 7:6
Surely oppression maketh a wise man mad, and a gift destroyeth the heart. Eccl. 7:7
Better is the end of a thing than its beginning; better is a patient spirit than a proud spirit. Eccl. 7:8
Be not hasty in thy spirit to be vexed; for vexation resteth in the bosom of fools. Eccl. 7:9
Say not, How is it that the former days were better than these? for thou dost not inquire wisely concerning this. Eccl. 7:10
Wisdom is as good as an inheritance, and profitable to them that see the sun. Eccl. 7:11
For wisdom is a defence as money is a defence; but the excellency of knowledge is, that wisdom maketh them that possess it to live. Eccl. 7:12
Consider the work of God; for who can make straight what he hath made crooked? Eccl. 7:13
In the day of prosperity enjoy good, and in the day of adversity consider: God hath also set the one beside the other, to the end that man should find out nothing of what shall be after him. Eccl. 7:14
All this have I seen in the days of my vanity: there is a righteous man that perisheth by his righteousness, and there is a wicked man that prolongeth his days by his wickedness. Eccl. 7:15
Wisdom strengtheneth the wise more than ten mighty men that are in a city. Eccl. 7:19
and I found more bitter than death the woman whose heart is nets and snares, and whose hands are bands: whoso pleaseth God shall escape from her; but the sinner shall be caught by her. Eccl. 7:26
See this which I have found, saith the Preacher, searching one by one to find out the reason; Eccl. 7:27
Who is as the wise? and who knoweth the explanation of things? A man's wisdom maketh his face to shine, and the boldness of his face is changed. Eccl. 8:1
I say, Keep the king's commandment, and that on account of the oath of God. Eccl. 8:2
because the word of a king is power; and who may say unto him, What doest thou? Eccl. 8:4
Whoso keepeth the commandment shall know no evil thing; and a wise man's heart knoweth time and manner. Eccl. 8:5
For to every purpose there is time and manner. For the misery of man is great upon him; Eccl. 8:6
There is no man who hath control over the spirit to retain the spirit; and no one hath control over the day of death; and there is no discharge in that war, neither shall wickedness deliver those that are given to it. Eccl. 8:8
All this have I seen, and applied my heart unto every work that is done under the sun: there is a time when man ruleth man to his hurt. Eccl. 8:9
And I have also seen the wicked buried and going away; and such as had acted rightly went from the holy place, and were forgotten in the city. This also is vanity. Eccl. 8:10
Because sentence against an evil work is not executed speedily, therefore the heart of the children of men is fully set in them to do evil. Eccl. 8:11
but it shall not be well with the wicked, neither shall he prolong his days as a shadow, because he feareth not before God. Eccl. 8:13
There is a vanity which is done upon the earth; that there are righteous men unto whom it happeneth according to the work of the wicked; and there are wicked men to whom it happeneth according to the work of the righteous. I said that this also is vanity. Eccl. 8:14
And I commended mirth, because there is nothing better for man under the sun than to eat, and to drink, and to be merry; for that shall abide with him of his labour the days of his life, which God hath given him under the sun. Eccl. 8:15
When I applied my heart to know wisdom, and to see the business that is done upon the earth (for also there is that neither day nor night seeth sleep with his eyes), Eccl. 8:16
then I saw that all is the work of God, and that man cannot find out the work that is done under the sun: because however man may labour to seek it out, yet doth he not find it; and even, if a wise man think to know it, he shall not be able to find it out. Eccl. 8:17
For all this I laid to my heart and indeed to investigate all this, that the righteous, and the wise, and their works, are in the hand of God; man knoweth neither love nor hatred: all is before them. Eccl. 9:1
All things come alike to all: one event to the righteous and to the wicked, to the good, and to the clean, and to the unclean, to him that sacrificeth and to him that sacrificeth not: as is the good, so is the sinner; he that sweareth, as he that feareth an oath. Eccl. 9:2
This is an evil among all that is done under the sun, that one thing befalleth all: yea, also the heart of the children of men is full of evil, and madness is in their heart while they live; and after that, they have to go to the dead. Eccl. 9:3
For to him that is joined to all the living there is hope; for a living dog is better than a dead lion. Eccl. 9:4
For the living know that they shall die; but the dead know not anything, neither have they any more a reward, for the memory of them is forgotten. Eccl. 9:5
Their love also, and their hatred, and their envy is already perished; neither have they any more for ever a portion in all that is done under the sun. Eccl. 9:6
Enjoy life with the wife whom thou lovest all the days of the life of thy vanity, which he hath given thee under the sun, all the days of thy vanity; for that is thy portion in life, and in thy labour wherein thou art labouring under the sun. Eccl. 9:9
I returned, and saw under the sun, that the race is not to the swift, nor the battle to the strong, neither yet bread to the wise, nor yet riches to the intelligent, nor yet favour to men of knowledge; but time and chance happeneth to them all. Eccl. 9:11
For man also knoweth not his time: as the fishes that are taken in an evil net, and as the birds that are taken with the snare, like them are the children of men snared in an evil time, when it falleth suddenly upon them. Eccl. 9:12
This also have I seen as wisdom under the sun, and it was great unto me. Eccl. 9:13
and there was found in it a poor wise man, who by his wisdom delivered the city; but no man remembered that poor man. Eccl. 9:15
Then said I, Wisdom is better than strength; but the poor man's wisdom is despised, and his words are not heard. Eccl. 9:16
The words of the wise are heard in quiet more than the cry of him that ruleth among fools. Eccl. 9:17
Dead flies cause the ointment of the apothecary to stink and ferment; so a little folly is weightier than wisdom and honour. Eccl. 10:1
The heart of a wise man is at his right hand; but a fool's heart at his left. Eccl. 10:2
Yea also, when he that is a fool walketh by the way, his sense faileth him, and he saith to every one that he is a fool. Eccl. 10:3
If the spirit of the ruler rise up against thee, leave not thy place; for quietness pacifieth great offences. Eccl. 10:4
There is an evil that I have seen under the sun, as an error that proceedeth from the ruler: Eccl. 10:5
folly is set in great dignities, but the rich sit in a low place. Eccl. 10:6
I have seen servants upon horses, and princes walking as servants upon the earth. Eccl. 10:7
If the iron be blunt, and one do not whet the edge, then must he apply more strength; but wisdom is profitable to give success. Eccl. 10:10
If the serpent bite before enchantment, then the charmer hath no advantage. Eccl. 10:11
The words of a wise man's mouth are gracious; but the lips of a fool swallow up himself. Eccl. 10:12
The beginning of the words of his mouth is folly; and the end of his talk is mischievous madness. Eccl. 10:13
And the fool multiplieth words: yet man knoweth not what shall be; and what shall be after him, who will tell him? Eccl. 10:14
The labour of fools wearieth them, because they know not how to go to the city. Eccl. 10:15
Woe to thee, O land, when thy king is a child, and thy princes eat in the morning! Eccl. 10:16
By much sloth fulness the framework falleth in; and through idleness of the hands the house drippeth. Eccl. 10:18
Curse not the king, no, not in thy thought; and curse not the rich in thy bedchamber: for the bird of the air will carry the voice, and that which hath wings will tell the matter. Eccl. 10:20
Cast thy bread upon the waters; for thou shalt find it after many days. Eccl. 11:1
Give a portion to seven, and also to eight; for thou knowest not what evil shall be upon the earth. Eccl. 11:2
If the clouds be full of rain, they empty themselves upon the earth; and if a tree fall toward the south, or toward the north, in the place where the tree falleth, there it shall be. Eccl. 11:3
He that observeth the wind will not sow; and he that regardeth the clouds will not reap. Eccl. 11:4
As thou knowest not what is the way of the spirit, how the bones grow in the womb of her that is with child, even so thou knowest not the work of God who maketh all. Eccl. 11:5
In the morning sow thy seed, and in the evening withhold not thy hand; for thou knowest not which shall prosper, whether this or that, or whether they both shall be alike good. Eccl. 11:6
Now the light is sweet, and pleasant is it to the eyes to see the sun; Eccl. 11:7
but if a man live many years, and rejoice in them all, yet let him remember the days of darkness; for they shall be many: all that cometh is vanity. Eccl. 11:8
Rejoice, young man, in thy youth; and let thy heart cheer thee in the days of thy youth, and walk in the ways of thy heart, and in the sight of thine eyes; but know that for all these things God will bring thee into judgment. Eccl. 11:9
And remember thy Creator in the days of thy youth, before the evil days come, and the years draw nigh, of which thou shalt say, I have no pleasure in them; Eccl. 12:1
before the sun, and the light, and the moon, and the stars, be darkened, and the clouds return after the rain; Eccl. 12:2
in the day when the keepers of the house tremble, and the strong men bow themselves, and the grinders cease because they are few, and those that look out of the windows are darkened, Eccl. 12:3
and the doors are shut toward the street; when the sound of the grinding is subdued, and they rise up at the voice of the bird, and all the daughters of song are brought low; Eccl. 12:4
they are also afraid of what is high, and terrors are in the way, and the almond is despised, and the grasshopper is a burden, and the caper-berry is without effect; (for man goeth to his age-long home, and the mourners go about the streets;) Eccl. 12:5
-- before the silver cord be loosed, or the golden bowl be broken, or the pitcher be shattered at the fountain, or the wheel be broken at the cistern; Eccl. 12:6
and the dust return to the earth as it was, and the spirit return unto God who gave it. Eccl. 12:7
Vanity of vanities, saith the Preacher: all is vanity. Eccl. 12:8
And moreover, because the Preacher was wise, he still taught the people knowledge; and he pondered, and sought out, and set in order many proverbs. Eccl. 12:9
The Preacher sought to find out acceptable words; and that which was written is upright, words of truth. Eccl. 12:10
The words of the wise are as goads, and the collections of them as nails fastened in: they are given from one shepherd. Eccl. 12:11
And besides, my son, be warned by them: of making many books there is no end, and much study is a weariness of the flesh. Eccl. 12:12
Let us hear the end of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep his commandments; for this is the whole of man. Eccl. 12:13
The song of songs, which is Solomon's. Song 1:1
Let him kiss me with the kisses of his mouth; For thy love is better than wine. Song 1:2
Thine ointments savour sweetly; Thy name is an ointment poured forth: Therefore do the virgins love thee. Song 1:3
Draw me, we will run after thee! -- The king hath brought me into his chambers -- We will be glad and rejoice in thee, We will remember thy love more than wine. They love thee uprightly. Song 1:4
I am black, but comely, daughters of Jerusalem, As the tents of Kedar, As the curtains of Solomon. Song 1:5
Look not upon me, because I am black; Because the sun hath looked upon me. My mother's children were angry with me: They made me keeper of the vineyards; Mine own vineyard have I not kept. Song 1:6
Tell me, thou whom my soul loveth, Where thou feedest thy flock, Where thou makest it to rest at noon; For why should I be as one veiled Beside the flocks of thy companions? Song 1:7
If thou know not, thou fairest among women, Go thy way forth by the footsteps of the flock, And feed thy kids beside the shepherds' booths. Song 1:8
While the king is at his table, My spikenard sendeth forth its fragrance. Song 1:12
A bundle of myrrh is my beloved unto me; He shall pass the night between my breasts. Song 1:13
My beloved is unto me a cluster of henna-flowers In the vineyards of Engedi. Song 1:14
The beams of our houses are cedars, Our rafters are cypresses. Song 1:17
I am a narcissus of Sharon, A lily of the valleys. Song 2:1
As the lily among thorns, So is my love among the daughters. Song 2:2
As the apple-tree among the trees of the wood, So is my beloved among the sons: In his shadow have I rapture and sit down; And his fruit is sweet to my taste. Song 2:3
He hath brought me to the house of wine, And his banner over me is love. Song 2:4
I charge you, daughters of Jerusalem, By the gazelles, or by the hinds of the field, That ye stir not up, nor awake my love, till he please. Song 2:7
The voice of my beloved! Behold, he cometh Leaping upon the mountains, Skipping upon the hills. Song 2:8
My beloved is like a gazelle or a young hart. Behold, he standeth behind our wall, He looketh in through the windows, Glancing through the lattice. Song 2:9
For behold, the winter is past, The rain is over, it is gone: Song 2:11
The flowers appear on the earth; The time of singing is come, And the voice of the turtle-dove is heard in our land; Song 2:12
The fig-tree melloweth her winter figs, And the vines in bloom give forth their fragrance. Arise, my love, my fair one, and come away! Song 2:13
My dove, in the clefts of the rock, In the covert of the precipice, Let me see thy countenance, let me hear thy voice; For sweet is thy voice, and thy countenance is comely. Song 2:14
Take us the foxes, The little foxes, that spoil the vineyards; For our vineyards are in bloom. Song 2:15
My beloved is mine, and I am his; He feedeth his flock among the lilies, Song 2:16
Until the day dawn, and the shadows flee away. Turn, my beloved: be thou like a gazelle or a young hart, Upon the mountains of Bether. Song 2:17
On my bed, in the nights, I sought him whom my soul loveth: I sought him, but I found him not. Song 3:1
I will rise now, and go about the city; In the streets and in the broadways Will I seek him whom my soul loveth: I sought him, but I found him not. Song 3:2
The watchmen that go about the city found me: -- Have ye seen him whom my soul loveth? Song 3:3
-- Scarcely had I passed from them, When I found him whom my soul loveth: I held him, and would not let him go, Until I had brought him into my mother's house, And into the chamber of her that conceived me. Song 3:4
I charge you, daughters of Jerusalem, By the gazelles, or by the hinds of the field, That ye stir not up, nor awake my love, till he please. Song 3:5
Who is this, she that cometh up from the wilderness Like pillars of smoke, Perfumed with myrrh and frankincense, With all powders of the merchant? ... Song 3:6
Behold his couch, Solomon's own: Threescore mighty men are about it, Of the mighty of Israel. Song 3:7
They all hold the sword, Experts in war; Each hath his sword upon his thigh Because of alarm in the nights. Song 3:8
King Solomon made himself a palanquin Of the wood of Lebanon. Song 3:9
Its pillars he made of silver, Its support of gold, Its seat of purple; The midst thereof was paved with love By the daughters of Jerusalem. Song 3:10
Go forth, daughters of Zion, And behold king Solomon With the crown wherewith his mother crowned him In the day of his espousals, And in the day of the gladness of his heart. Song 3:11
Behold, thou art fair, my love; behold, thou art fair; Thine eyes are doves behind thy veil; Thy hair is as a flock of goats, On the slopes of mount Gilead. Song 4:1
Thy teeth are like a flock of shorn sheep, Which go up from the washing; Which have all borne twins, And none is barren among them. Song 4:2
Thy neck is like the tower of David, Built for an armoury: A thousand bucklers hang thereon, All shields of mighty men. Song 4:4
Thy two breasts are like two fawns, twins of a gazelle, Which feed among the lilies. Song 4:5
Until the day dawn, and the shadows flee away, I will get me to the mountain of myrrh, And to the hill of frankincense. Song 4:6
Come with me, from Lebanon, my spouse, With me from Lebanon, -- Come, look from the top of Amanah, From the top of Senir and Hermon, From the lions' dens, From the mountains of the leopards. Song 4:8
How fair is thy love, my sister, my spouse! How much better is thy love than wine! And the fragrance of thine ointments than all spices! Song 4:10
Thy lips, my spouse, drop as the honeycomb; Honey and milk are under thy tongue; And the smell of thy garments is like the smell of Lebanon. Song 4:11
Spikenard and saffron; Calamus and cinnamon, with all trees of frankincense; Myrrh and aloes, with all the chief spices: Song 4:14
A fountain in the gardens, A well of living waters, Which stream from Lebanon. Song 4:15
Awake, north wind, and come, thou south; Blow upon my garden, that the spices thereof may flow forth. Let my beloved come into his garden, And eat its precious fruits. Song 4:16
I slept, but my heart was awake. The voice of my beloved! he knocketh: Open to me, my sister, my love, my dove, mine undefiled; For my head is filled with dew, My locks with the drops of the night. Song 5:2
My beloved put in his hand by the hole of the door; And my bowels yearned for him. Song 5:4
I rose up to open to my beloved; And my hands dropped with myrrh, And my fingers with liquid myrrh, Upon the handles of the lock. Song 5:5
The watchmen that went about the city found me; They smote me, they wounded me; The keepers of the walls took away my veil from me. Song 5:7
My beloved is white and ruddy, The chiefest among ten thousand. Song 5:10
His head is as the finest gold; His locks are flowing, black as the raven; Song 5:11
His eyes are like doves by the water-brooks, Washed with milk, fitly set; Song 5:12
His hands gold rings, set with the chrysolite; His belly is bright ivory, overlaid with sapphires; Song 5:14
His legs, pillars of marble, set upon bases of fine gold: His bearing as Lebanon, excellent as the cedars; Song 5:15
My beloved is gone down into his garden, to the beds of spices, To feed in the gardens and to gather lilies. Song 6:2
I am my beloved's, and my beloved is mine: He feedeth his flock among the lilies. Song 6:3
Turn away thine eyes from me, For they overcome me. Thy hair is as a flock of goats On the slopes of Gilead. Song 6:5
Thy teeth are like a flock of sheep Which go up from the washing; Which have all borne twins, And none is barren among them. Song 6:6
My dove, mine undefiled, is but one; She is the only one of her mother, She is the choice one of her that bore her. The daughters saw her, and they called her blessed; The queens and the concubines, and they praised her. Song 6:9
Who is she that looketh forth as the dawn, Fair as the moon, clear as the sun, Terrible as troops with banners? Song 6:10
I went down into the garden of nuts, To see the verdure of the valley, To see whether the vine budded, Whether the pomegranates blossomed. Song 6:11
Before I was aware, My soul set me upon the chariots of my willing people. Song 6:12
Return, return, O Shulamite; Return, return, that we may look upon thee. -- What would ye look upon in the Shulamite? -- As it were the dance of two camps. Song 6:13
How beautiful are thy footsteps in sandals, O prince's daughter! The roundings of thy thighs are like jewels, The work of the hands of an artist. Song 7:1
Thy neck is as a tower of ivory; Thine eyes, like the pools in Heshbon, By the gate of Bath-rabbim; Thy nose like the tower of Lebanon, Which looketh toward Damascus; Song 7:4
Thy head upon thee is like Carmel, And the locks of thy head like purple; The king is fettered by thy ringlets! Song 7:5
I said, I will go up to the palm-tree, I will take hold of the boughs thereof; And thy breasts shall indeed be like clusters of the vine, And the fragrance of thy nose like apples, Song 7:8
And the roof of thy mouth like the best wine, ... That goeth down smoothly for my beloved, And stealeth over the lips of them that are asleep. Song 7:9
-- Come, my beloved, let us go forth into the fields; Let us lodge in the villages. Song 7:11
We will go up early to the vineyards, We will see if the vine hath budded, If the blossom is opening, And the pomegranates are in bloom: There will I give thee my loves. Song 7:12
The mandrakes yield fragrance; And at our gates are all choice fruits, new and old: I have laid them up for thee, my beloved. Song 7:13
Oh that thou wert as my brother, That sucked the breasts of my mother! Should I find thee without, I would kiss thee; And they would not despise me. Song 8:1
I would lead thee, bring thee into my mother's house; Thou wouldest instruct me: I would cause thee to drink of spiced wine, Of the juice of my pomegranate. Song 8:2
Who is this that cometh up from the wilderness, Leaning upon her beloved? I awoke thee under the apple-tree: There thy mother brought thee forth; There she brought thee forth that bore thee. Song 8:5
Set me as a seal upon thy heart, As a seal upon thine arm: For love is strong as death; Jealousy is cruel as Sheol: The flashes thereof are flashes of fire, Flames of Jah. Song 8:6
Many waters cannot quench love, Neither do the floods drown it: Even if a man gave all the substance of his house for love, It would utterly be contemned. Song 8:7
We have a little sister, And she hath no breasts: What shall we do for our sister In the day when she shall be spoken for? -- Song 8:8
Solomon had a vineyard at Baal-hamon: He let out the vineyard unto keepers; Every one for the fruit thereof was to bring a thousand silver-pieces. Song 8:11
My vineyard, which is mine, is before me: The thousand silver-pieces be to thee, Solomon; And to the keepers of its fruit, two hundred. Song 8:12
Thou that dwellest in the gardens, The companions hearken to thy voice: Let me hear it. Song 8:13
Haste, my beloved, And be thou like a gazelle or a young hart Upon the mountains of spices. Song 8:14
* The vision of Isaiah the son of Amos, which he saw concerning Judah and Jerusalem in the days of Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz, Hezekiah, kings of Judah. Isa. 1:1
The ox knoweth his owner, and the ass his master's crib; Israel doth not know, my people hath no intelligence. Isa. 1:3
Ah sinful nation, a people laden with iniquity, a seed of evildoers, children that corrupt themselves! They have forsaken Jehovah; they have despised the Holy One of Israel; they are turned away backward. Isa. 1:4
Why should ye be smitten any more? ye will revolt more and more: the whole head is sick, and the whole heart faint. Isa. 1:5
From the sole of the foot even unto the head there is no soundness in him; wounds, and weals, and open sores: they have not been dressed, nor bound up, nor mollified with oil. Isa. 1:6
And the daughter of Zion is left, as a booth in a vineyard, as a night-lodge in a cucumber-garden, as a besieged city. Isa. 1:8
Hear the word of Jehovah, rulers of Sodom; give ear unto the law of our God, people of Gomorrah! Isa. 1:10
To what purpose is the multitude of your sacrifices unto me? saith Jehovah. I am sated with burnt-offerings of rams, and the fat of fed beasts; and in the blood of bullocks, and of lambs, and of he-goats I take no pleasure. Isa. 1:11
Bring no more vain oblations! Incense is an abomination unto me, -- new moon and sabbath, the calling of convocations -- wickedness and the solemn meeting I cannot bear. Isa. 1:13
Wash you, make you clean; put away the evil of your doings from before mine eyes; -- cease to do evil, Isa. 1:16
learn to do well: seek judgment, gladden the oppressed, do justice to the fatherless, plead for the widow. Isa. 1:17
If ye be willing and hearken, ye shall eat the good of the land; Isa. 1:19
but if ye refuse and rebel, ye shall be devoured with the sword: for the mouth of Jehovah hath spoken. Isa. 1:20
How is the faithful city become a harlot! It was full of judgment; righteousness used to lodge in it, but now murderers. Isa. 1:21
thy princes are rebellious, and companions of thieves; every one loveth presents, and hunteth after rewards; they judge not the fatherless, and the cause of the widow cometh not unto them. Isa. 1:23
Therefore saith the Lord, Jehovah of hosts, the Mighty One of Israel: Ah! I will ease me of mine adversaries, and avenge me of mine enemies. Isa. 1:24
and I will restore thy judges as at the first, and thy counsellors as at the beginning. Afterwards thou shalt be called, Town of righteousness, Faithful city. Isa. 1:26
But the ruin of the transgressors and of the sinners shall be together; and they that forsake Jehovah shall be consumed. Isa. 1:28
For they shall be ashamed of the terebinths that ye have desired, and ye shall blush for the gardens that ye have chosen. Isa. 1:29
And the strong shall be for tow, and his work a spark; and they shall both burn together, and there shall be none to quench them. Isa. 1:31
The word that Isaiah the son of Amoz saw concerning Judah and Jerusalem. Isa. 2:1
* And it shall come to pass in the end of days, that the mountain of Jehovah's house shall be established on the top of the mountains, and shall be lifted up above the hills; and all the nations shall flow unto it. Isa. 2:2
And many peoples shall go and say, Come, and let us go up to the mountain of Jehovah, to the house of the God of Jacob; and he will teach us of his ways, and we will walk in his paths. For out of Zion shall go forth the law, and Jehovah's word from Jerusalem. Isa. 2:3
And he shall judge among the nations, and shall reprove many peoples; and they shall forge their swords into ploughshares, and their spears into pruning-knives: nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more. Isa. 2:4
House of Jacob, come ye, and let us walk in the light of Jehovah. Isa. 2:5
For thou hast cast off thy people, the house of Jacob, because they are filled with what comes from the east, and use auguries like the Philistines, and ally themselves with the children of foreigners. Isa. 2:6
And their land is full of idols; they bow themselves down to the work of their own hands, to that which their fingers have made. Isa. 2:8
And the mean man shall be bowed down, and the great man shall be brought low: and do not thou forgive them! Isa. 2:9
Enter into the rock, and hide thee in the dust, from before the terror of Jehovah, and from the glory of his majesty. Isa. 2:10
The lofty eyes of man shall be brought low, and the haughtiness of men shall be bowed down, and Jehovah alone shall be exalted in that day. Isa. 2:11
and upon all the cedars of Lebanon, high and lifted up, and upon all the oaks of Bashan; Isa. 2:13
and upon all the lofty mountains, and upon all the hills that are lifted up; Isa. 2:14
and upon all the ships of Tarshish, and upon all pleasant works of art. Isa. 2:16
And the loftiness of man shall be bowed down, and the haughtiness of men shall be brought low; and Jehovah alone shall be exalted in that day: Isa. 2:17
and the idols shall utterly pass away. Isa. 2:18
And they shall go into the caves of the rocks, and into the holes of the earth, from before the terror of Jehovah, and from the glory of his majesty, when he shall arise to terrify the earth. Isa. 2:19
In that day men shall cast away their idols of silver and their idols of gold, which they made each for himself to worship, to the moles and to the bats; Isa. 2:20
to go into the clefts of the rocks, and into the fissures of the cliffs, from before the terror of Jehovah, and from the glory of his majesty, when he shall arise to terrify the earth. Isa. 2:21
For behold, the Lord, Jehovah of hosts, will take away from Jerusalem and from Judah stay and staff, the whole stay of bread, and the whole stay of water, Isa. 3:1
the mighty man and the man of war, the judge and the prophet, and the diviner and the elder, Isa. 3:2
the captain of fifty, and the honourable man, and the counsellor, and the clever among artificers, and the one versed in enchantments. Isa. 3:3
And the people shall be oppressed one by the other, and each by his neighbour; the child will be insolent against the elder, and the base against the honourable. Isa. 3:5
he will lift up his hand in that day, saying, I cannot be a healer, and in my house there is neither bread nor clothing; ye shall not make me a chief of the people. Isa. 3:7
For Jerusalem stumbleth and Judah falleth, because their tongue and their doings are against Jehovah, to provoke the eyes of his glory. Isa. 3:8
The look of their face doth witness against them, and they declare their sin as Sodom: they hide it not. Woe unto their soul! for they have brought evil upon themselves. Isa. 3:9
Say ye of the righteous that it shall be well with him, for they shall eat the fruit of their doings. Isa. 3:10
Woe unto the wicked! it shall be ill with him, because the desert of his hands shall be rendered unto him. Isa. 3:11
As for my people, children are their oppressors, and women rule over them. My people! they that guide thee mislead thee, and destroy the way of thy paths. Isa. 3:12
Jehovah setteth himself to plead, and standeth to judge the peoples. Isa. 3:13
Jehovah will enter into judgment with the elders of his people and their princes, saying: It is ye that have eaten up the vineyard: the spoil of the poor is in your houses. Isa. 3:14
What mean ye that ye crush my people, and grind the faces of the afflicted? saith the Lord, Jehovah of hosts. Isa. 3:15
And Jehovah said, Because the daughters of Zion are haughty, and walk with stretched-out neck and wanton eyes, and go along mincing, and making a tinkling with their feet; Isa. 3:16
therefore the Lord will make bald the crown of the head of the daughters of Zion, and Jehovah will lay bare their secret parts. Isa. 3:17
In that day the Lord will take away the ornament of anklets, and the little suns and crescents, Isa. 3:18
the pearl-drops, and the bracelets, and the veils, Isa. 3:19
the head-dresses, and the stepping chains, and the girdles, and the scent-boxes, and the amulets; Isa. 3:20
the finger-rings, and the nose-rings; Isa. 3:21
the festival-robes, and the tunics, and the mantles, and the wallets; Isa. 3:22
the mirrors, and the fine linen bodices, and the turbans, and the flowing veils. Isa. 3:23
Thy men shall fall by the sword, and thy mighty in the fight; Isa. 3:25
and her gates shall lament and mourn; and, stripped, she shall sit upon the ground. Isa. 3:26
In that day there shall be a sprout of Jehovah for beauty and glory, and the fruit of the earth for excellency and for ornament for those that are escaped of Israel. Isa. 4:2
And it shall come to pass that he who remaineth in Zion, and he that is left in Jerusalem, shall be called holy, -- every one that is written among the living in Jerusalem; Isa. 4:3
when the Lord shall have washed away the filth of the daughters of Zion, and shall have scoured out the blood of Jerusalem from its midst, by the spirit of judgment, and by the spirit of burning. Isa. 4:4
And Jehovah will create over every dwelling-place of mount Zion, and over its convocations, a cloud by day and a smoke, and the brightness of a flame of fire by night: for over all the glory shall be a covering. Isa. 4:5
And there shall be a tabernacle for shade by day from the heat, and for a shelter and for a covert from storm and from rain. Isa. 4:6
And he dug it, and gathered out the stones thereof, and planted it with the choicest vine; and he built a tower in the midst of it, and also hewed out a winepress therein; and he looked that it should bring forth grapes, but it brought forth wild grapes. Isa. 5:2
and I will make it a waste -- it shall not be pruned nor cultivated, but there shall come up briars and thorns; and I will command the clouds that they rain no rain upon it. Isa. 5:6
For the vineyard of Jehovah of hosts is the house of Israel, and the men of Judah the plant of his delight: and he looked for justice, and behold, blood-shedding; for righteousness, and behold, a cry. Isa. 5:7
Woe unto them that add house to house, that join field to field, until there is no more room, and that ye dwell yourselves alone in the midst of the land! Isa. 5:8
Woe unto them that, rising early in the morning, run after strong drink; that linger till twilight, till wine inflameth them! Isa. 5:11
And harp and lyre, tambour and flute, and wine are in their banquets; but they regard not the work of Jehovah, nor do they see the operation of his hands. Isa. 5:12
And the mean man shall be bowed down, and the great man brought low, and the eyes of the lofty shall be brought low; Isa. 5:15
and Jehovah of hosts shall be exalted in judgment, and the holy *God hallowed in righteousness. Isa. 5:16
And the lambs shall feed as on their pasture, and the waste places of the fat ones shall strangers eat. Isa. 5:17
who say, Let him hasten, let him speed his work, that we may see it; and let the counsel of the Holy One of Israel draw nigh and come, that we may know it! Isa. 5:19
who justify the wicked for a bribe, and turn away the righteousness of the righteous from them! Isa. 5:23
Therefore as a tongue of fire devoureth the stubble, and dry grass sinketh down in the flame, their root shall be as rottenness, and their blossom shall go up as dust; for they have rejected the law of Jehovah of hosts, and despised the word of the Holy One of Israel. Isa. 5:24
Therefore is the anger of Jehovah kindled against his people, and he hath stretched out his hand against them and hath smitten them; and the mountains trembled, and their carcases are become as dung in the midst of the streets. For all this his anger is not turned away, and his hand is stretched out still. Isa. 5:25
And he will lift up a banner to the nations afar off, and will hiss for one from the end of the earth; and behold, it will come rapidly and lightly. Isa. 5:26
None among them is weary, none stumbleth; they slumber not, nor sleep; none hath the girdle of his loins loosed, nor the thong of his sandals broken; Isa. 5:27
their arrows are sharp, and all their bows bent; their horses' hoofs are reckoned as the flint, and their wheels as a whirlwind. Isa. 5:28
Their roaring is like a lioness, they roar as the young lions; yea, they growl, and snatch the prey, and carry it away safe, and there is none to deliver; Isa. 5:29
and they shall roar against them in that day like the roaring of the sea. And if one look upon the earth, behold darkness and distress, and the light is darkened in the heavens thereof. Isa. 5:30
In the year of the death of king Uzziah, I saw the Lord sitting upon a throne, high and lifted up; and his train filled the temple. Isa. 6:1
And one called to the other and said, Holy, holy, holy is Jehovah of hosts; the whole earth is full of his glory! Isa. 6:3
And the foundations of the thresholds shook at the voice of him that cried, and the house was filled with smoke. Isa. 6:4
And I said, Woe unto me! for I am undone; for I am a man of unclean lips, and I dwell in the midst of a people of unclean lips: for mine eyes have seen the King, Jehovah of hosts. Isa. 6:5
And one of the seraphim flew unto me, and he had in his hand a glowing coal, which he had taken with the tongs from off the altar; Isa. 6:6
And I heard the voice of the Lord saying, Whom shall I send, and who will go for us? And I said, Here am I; send me. Isa. 6:8
Make the heart of this people fat, and make their ears heavy, and blind their eyes; lest they see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and understand with their heart, and be converted, and healed. Isa. 6:10
And I said, Lord, how long? And he said, Until the cities be wasted, without inhabitant, and the houses without man, and the land become an utter desolation, Isa. 6:11
and Jehovah have removed men far away, and the solitude be great in the midst of the land. Isa. 6:12
But a tenth part shall still be therein, and it shall return and be eaten; as the terebinth and as the oak whose trunk remaineth after the felling: the holy seed shall be the trunk thereof. Isa. 6:13
And it came to pass in the days of Ahaz, the son of Jotham, the son of Uzziah, king of Judah, that Rezin the king of Syria, and Pekah the son of Remaliah, king of Israel, came up to Jerusalem to make war against it, but they were not able to fight against it. Isa. 7:1
And it was told the house of David saying, Syria is allied with Ephraim. Then his heart and the heart of his people shook, as the trees of the forest are shaken with the wind. Isa. 7:2
And Jehovah said to Isaiah, Go out now to meet Ahaz, thou and thy son Shear-jashub, at the end of the aqueduct of the upper pool, on the highway of the fuller's field; Isa. 7:3
and thou shalt say unto him, Take heed and be quiet; fear not, and let not thy heart faint before these two ends of smoking firebrands, because of the fierce anger of Rezin and Syria, and of the son of Remaliah. Isa. 7:4
Inasmuch as Syria hath taken evil counsel against thee, Ephraim also and the son of Remaliah, saying, Isa. 7:5
Let us go up against Judah, and harass it, and make a breach therein for us, and set up a king therein -- the son of Tabeal; Isa. 7:6
thus saith the Lord Jehovah: It shall not stand, nor come to pass; Isa. 7:7
for the head of Syria is Damascus, and the head of Damascus is Rezin; and within sixty-five years shall Ephraim be broken, so as to be no more a people; Isa. 7:8
and the head of Ephraim is Samaria, and the head of Samaria is Remaliah's son. If ye believe not, surely ye shall not be established. Isa. 7:9
Ask for thee a sign from Jehovah thy God; ask for it in the deep, or in the height above. Isa. 7:11
Therefore will the Lord himself give you a sign: Behold, the virgin shall conceive and shall bring forth a son, and call his name Immanuel. Isa. 7:14
Butter and honey shall he eat, that he may know to refuse the evil, and to choose the good. Isa. 7:15

Jehovah will bring upon thee, and upon thy people, and upon thy father's house, days which have not come since the day when Ephraim turned away from Judah -- even the king of Assyria. Isa. 7:17
And it shall come to pass in that day, that Jehovah will hiss for the fly which is at the extremity of the streams of Egypt, and for the bee which is in the land of Assyria; Isa. 7:18
and they shall come and settle all of them in the desolate valleys, and in the holes of the rocks, and on all thorn-bushes, and on all the pastures. Isa. 7:19
In that day will the Lord, with a razor which is hired beyond the river, with the king of Assyria, shave the head and the hair of the feet, yea, the beard also will it take away. Isa. 7:20
and it shall come to pass, from the abundance of milk they shall give, that he shall eat butter; for every one that remaineth in the midst of the land shall eat butter and honey. Isa. 7:22
with arrows and with the bow shall they come thither, for the whole land shall become briars and thorns. Isa. 7:24
And all mountains that have been dug up with the hoe -- thither will they not come, from fear of briars and thorns; and they shall be for the sending forth of oxen, and for the treading of small cattle. Isa. 7:25
And I took unto me to witness, sure witnesses, Urijah the priest, and Zechariah the son of Jeberechiah. Isa. 8:2
And I came near to the prophetess, and she conceived and bore a son; and Jehovah said unto me, Call his name, Maher-shalal-hash-baz. Isa. 8:3
For before the lad knoweth to cry, My father! and, My mother! the riches of Damascus and the spoil of Samaria shall be taken away before the king of Assyria. Isa. 8:4
Forasmuch as this people refuseth the waters of Shiloah which flow softly, and rejoiceth in Rezin and in the son of Remaliah, Isa. 8:6
therefore behold, the Lord will bring up upon them the waters of the river, strong and many, the king of Assyria and all his glory; and he shall mount up over all his channels, and go over all his banks: Isa. 8:7
and he shall pass through Judah; he shall overflow it and go further, he shall reach even to the neck; and the stretching out of his wings shall fill the breadth of thy land, O Immanuel! Isa. 8:8
Rage, ye peoples, and be broken in pieces! And give ear, all ye distant parts of the earth: Gird yourselves, and be broken in pieces; gird yourselves, and be broken in pieces! Isa. 8:9
For Jehovah spoke thus to me with a strong hand, and he instructed me not to walk in the way of this people, saying, Isa. 8:11
And he will be for a sanctuary; and for a stone of stumbling, and for a rock of offence to both the houses of Israel, for a gin and for a snare to the inhabitants of Jerusalem. Isa. 8:14
Bind up the testimony, seal the law among my disciples. Isa. 8:16
And I will wait for Jehovah, who hideth his face from the house of Jacob; and I will look for him. Isa. 8:17
Behold, I and the children that Jehovah hath given me are for signs and for wonders in Israel, from Jehovah of hosts, who dwelleth in mount Zion. Isa. 8:18
And when they shall say unto you, Seek unto the necromancers and unto the soothsayers, who chirp and who mutter, say, Shall not a people seek unto their God? Will they go for the living unto the dead? Isa. 8:19
To the law and the testimony! If they speak not according to this word, for them there is no daybreak. Isa. 8:20
and they will look to the earth; and behold, trouble and darkness, gloom of anguish; and they shall be driven into thick darkness. Isa. 8:22
Nevertheless the darkness shall not be as when the distress was in the land, at the time he at first lightly, and afterwards heavily, visited the land of Zebulun and the land of Naphtali, -- the way of the sea, beyond the Jordan, Galilee of the nations: Isa. 9:1
the people that walked in darkness have seen a great light; they that dwelt in the land of the shadow of death, upon them light hath shone. Isa. 9:2
Thou hast multiplied the nation, hast increased its joy: they joy before thee like to the joy in harvest; as men rejoice when they divide the spoil. Isa. 9:3
For thou hast broken the yoke of his burden and the staff of his shoulder, the rod of his oppressor, as in the day of Midian. Isa. 9:4
For every boot of him that is shod for the tumult, and the garment rolled in blood, shall be for burning, fuel for fire. Isa. 9:5
For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given; and the government shall be upon his shoulder; and his name is called Wonderful, Counsellor, Mighty *God, Father of Eternity, Prince of Peace. Isa. 9:6
Of the increase of his government and of peace there shall be no end, upon the throne of David and over his kingdom, to establish it, and to uphold it with judgment and with righteousness, from henceforth even for ever. The zeal of Jehovah of hosts will perform this. Isa. 9:7
The Lord sent a word unto Jacob, and it lighteth upon Israel. Isa. 9:8
And all the people shall know it, Ephraim and the inhabitant of Samaria, that say in pride and stoutness of heart, Isa. 9:9
The bricks are fallen down, but we will build with hewn stones; the sycamore trees are cut down, but we will replace them with cedars. Isa. 9:10
And Jehovah will set up the adversaries of Rezin against him, and arm his enemies, Isa. 9:11
the Syrians on the east, and the Philistines on the west; and they shall devour Israel with open mouth. For all this his anger is not turned away, and his hand is stretched out still. Isa. 9:12
But the people turneth not unto him that smiteth them, and they do not seek Jehovah of hosts. Isa. 9:13
the ancient and honourable, he is the head; and the prophet that teacheth lies, he is the tail. Isa. 9:15
For the guides of this people mislead them; and they that are guided by them are swallowed up. Isa. 9:16
Therefore the Lord will not rejoice in their young men, neither will he have mercy on their fatherless and on their widows; for every one is a hypocrite and an evildoer, and every mouth speaketh folly. For all this his anger is not turned away, and his hand is stretched out still. Isa. 9:17
For wickedness burneth as a fire: it devoureth briars and thorns, and kindleth in the thickets of the forest, and they go rolling up like a pillar of smoke. Isa. 9:18
Through the wrath of Jehovah of hosts is the land burned up, and the people is as fuel for fire: a man spareth not his brother; Isa. 9:19
and he snatcheth on the right hand, and is hungry, and eateth on the left hand; and they are not satisfied. They eat every man the flesh of his own arm: Isa. 9:20
Woe unto them that decree iniquitous decrees, and to the writers that prescribe oppression, Isa. 10:1
to turn away the poor from judgment, and to take away the right from the afflicted of my people; that widows may be their prey, and that they may rob the fatherless! Isa. 10:2
And what will ye do in the day of visitation, and in the sudden destruction which shall come from far? To whom will ye flee for help, and where will ye leave your glory? Isa. 10:3
They can but crouch under the prisoners, and they shall fall under the slain. For all this his anger is not turned away, and his hand is stretched out still. Isa. 10:4
Ah! the Assyrian! the rod of mine anger! and the staff in their hand is mine indignation. Isa. 10:5
I will send him against a hypocritical nation, and against the people of my wrath will I give him a charge; to take the spoil, and to seize the prey, and to tread them down like the mire of the streets. Isa. 10:6
As my hand hath found the kingdoms of the idols, -- and their graven images exceeded those of Jerusalem and Samaria, Isa. 10:10
And it shall come to pass, when the Lord hath performed his whole work upon mount Zion and upon Jerusalem, I will punish the fruit of the stoutness of heart of the king of Assyria, and the glory of his high looks. Isa. 10:12
For he saith, By the strength of my hand I have done it, and by my wisdom, for I am intelligent; and I have removed the bounds of the peoples, and have robbed their treasures, and, like a valiant man, I have brought down them that sit on thrones; Isa. 10:13
and my hand hath found as a nest the riches of the peoples, and as one gathereth forsaken eggs, have I gathered all the earth; and there was none that moved the wing, or opened the mouth, or chirped. Isa. 10:14
-- Shall the axe boast itself against him that heweth therewith? shall the saw magnify itself against him that wieldeth it? As if the rod should wield them that lift it up; as if the staff should lift up him who is not wood! Isa. 10:15
Therefore shall the Lord, Jehovah of hosts, send among his fat ones leanness, and under his glory he shall kindle a burning, like the burning of a fire: Isa. 10:16
and the light of Israel shall be for a fire, and his Holy One for a flame; and it shall burn and devour his thorns and his briars in one day, Isa. 10:17
and it shall consume the glory of his forest, and of his fruitful field, both soul and body; and they shall be as when a sick man fainteth. Isa. 10:18
And the remainder of the trees of his forest shall be few: yea, a child might write them. Isa. 10:19
And it shall come to pass in that day, that the remnant of Israel and such as are escaped of the house of Jacob shall no more again rely upon him that smote them; but they shall rely upon Jehovah, the Holy One of Israel, in truth. Isa. 10:20
The remnant shall return, the remnant of Jacob, unto the mighty *God. Isa. 10:21
For though thy people Israel be as the sand of the sea, only a remnant of them shall return: the consumption determined shall overflow in righteousness. Isa. 10:22
For a consumption, and one determined, will the Lord, Jehovah of hosts, accomplish in the midst of all the land. Isa. 10:23
Therefore thus saith the Lord, Jehovah of hosts: O my people that dwellest in Zion, be not afraid of the Assyrian; he shall smite thee with a rod, and shall lift up his staff against thee, after the manner of Egypt: Isa. 10:24
for yet a very little while, and the indignation shall be accomplished, and mine anger, in their destruction. Isa. 10:25
And Jehovah of hosts will stir up a scourge against him, according to the slaughter of Midian at the rock of Oreb; and his rod shall be upon the sea, and he will lift it up after the manner of Egypt. Isa. 10:26
And it shall come to pass in that day, that his burden shall be taken away from off thy shoulder, and his yoke from off thy neck; and the yoke shall be destroyed because of the anointing. ... Isa. 10:27
They are gone through the pass; they make their lodging at Geba: Ramah trembleth, Gibeah of Saul is fled. Isa. 10:29
Madmenah is fugitive; the inhabitants of Gebim take to flight. Isa. 10:31
Still a day of halting at Nob; he shaketh his hand against the mount of the daughter of Zion, the hill of Jerusalem. ... Isa. 10:32
Behold the Lord, Jehovah of hosts, shall lop the boughs with violence; and the high ones of stature shall be hewn down, and the haughty shall be brought low; Isa. 10:33
and he shall make clearings in the thickets of the forest with iron; and Lebanon shall fall by a mighty one. Isa. 10:34
And there shall come forth a shoot out of the stock of Jesse, and a branch out of his roots shall be fruitful; Isa. 11:1
and the Spirit of Jehovah shall rest upon him, the spirit of wisdom and understanding, the spirit of counsel and might, the spirit of knowledge and of the fear of Jehovah. Isa. 11:2
And his delight will be in the fear of Jehovah; and he shall not judge after the sight of his eyes, neither reprove after the hearing of his ears; Isa. 11:3
but with righteousness shall he judge the poor, and reprove with equity the meek of the earth: and he shall smite the earth with the rod of his mouth, and with the breath of his lips shall he slay the wicked. Isa. 11:4
And righteousness shall be the girdle of his reins, and faithfulness the girdle of his loins. Isa. 11:5
The wolf also shall dwell with the lamb, and the leopard shall lie down with the kid, and the calf and the young lion and the fatted beast together, and a little child shall lead them. Isa. 11:6

And it shall come to pass in that day, that the Lord shall set his hand again the second time to acquire the remnant of his people which shall be left, from Assyria, and from Egypt, and from Pathros, and from Cush, and from Elam, and from Shinar, and from Hamath, and from the islands of the sea. Isa. 11:11
And he shall lift up a banner to the nations, and shall assemble the outcasts of Israel, and gather together the dispersed of Judah from the four corners of the earth. Isa. 11:12
And the envy of Ephraim shall depart, and the troublers of Judah shall be cut off; Ephraim will not envy Judah, and Judah will not trouble Ephraim: Isa. 11:13

And with joy shall ye draw water out of the wells of salvation. Isa. 12:3
And in that day shall ye say, Give ye thanks to Jehovah, call upon his name, declare his deeds among the peoples, make mention that his name is exalted. Isa. 12:4
Sing psalms of Jehovah, for he hath done excellent things: this is known in all the earth. Isa. 12:5
Cry out and shout, thou inhabitress of Zion; for great is the Holy One of Israel in the midst of thee. Isa. 12:6
The burden of Babylon, which Isaiah the son of Amoz saw. Isa. 13:1
Lift up a banner upon a bare mountain, raise the voice unto them, shake the hand, that they may enter the gates of the nobles. Isa. 13:2
The noise of a multitude on the mountains, as of a great people; a tumultuous noise of the kingdoms of nations assembled together: Jehovah of hosts mustereth the host of the battle. Isa. 13:4
They come from a far country, from the end of the heavens -- Jehovah, and the weapons of his indignation -- to destroy the whole land. Isa. 13:5
Howl, for the day of Jehovah is at hand; it cometh as destruction from the Almighty. Isa. 13:6
Behold, the day of Jehovah cometh, cruel both with wrath and fierce anger, to lay the earth desolate; and he will destroy the sinners thereof out of it. Isa. 13:9
For the stars of the heavens and the constellations thereof shall not give their light; the sun shall be darkened in his going forth, and the moon shall not cause her light to shine. Isa. 13:10

In the year that Tartan came to Ashdod, when Sargon the king of Assyria sent him, (and he fought against Ashdod and took it,) Isa. 20:1

With my soul have I desired thee in the night; yea, with my spirit within me I seek thee early: for when thy judgments are in the earth, the inhabitants of the world learn righteousness. Isa. 26:9
If favour be shewn to the wicked, he doth not learn righteousness: in the land of uprightness he dealeth unjustly, and beholdeth not the majesty of Jehovah. Isa. 26:10
Jehovah, thy hand is lifted up, but they do not see: yet they shall see thy jealousy for the people, and be ashamed; yea, the fire which is for thine adversaries shall devour them. Isa. 26:11
Thou hast increased the nation, Jehovah, thou hast increased the nation: thou art glorified. Thou hadst removed it far unto all the ends of the earth. Isa. 26:15

For behold, Jehovah cometh out of his place to visit the iniquity of the inhabitants of the earth upon them; and the earth shall disclose her blood, and shall no more cover her slain. Isa. 26:21
In that day Jehovah, with his sore and great and strong sword, will visit leviathan the fleeing serpent, and leviathan the crooked serpent; and he will slay the monster that is in the sea. Isa. 27:1
In the future Jacob shall take root; Israel shall blossom and bud, and they shall fill the face of the world with fruit. Isa. 27:6

Woe to the crown of pride of the drunkards of Ephraim, and to the fading flower of his glorious adornment, which is on the head of the fat valley of them that are overcome with wine. Isa. 28:1
Behold, the Lord hath a mighty and strong one, as a storm of hail and a destroying tempest; as a storm of mighty waters overflowing, shall he cast down to the earth with might. Isa. 28:2
The crown of pride of the drunkards of Ephraim shall be trodden under feet; Isa. 28:3
and the fading flower of his glorious adornment which is on the head of the fat valley shall be like an early fig before the summer: as soon as he that seeth it perceiveth it, scarcely is it in his hand, he swalloweth it down. Isa. 28:4
In that day will Jehovah of hosts be for a crown of glory, and for a diadem of beauty, unto the remnant of his people; Isa. 28:5
and for a spirit of judgment to him that sitteth in judgment, and for strength to them that turn the battle to the gate. Isa. 28:6
But these also have erred through wine, and through strong drink are they gone astray. The priest and the prophet have erred through strong drink; they are overpowered by wine, they are gone astray through strong drink; they have erred in vision, they have stumbled in judgment. Isa. 28:7
Whom shall he teach knowledge? and whom shall he make to understand the report? Them that are weaned from the milk, withdrawn from the breasts? Isa. 28:9
to whom he said, This is the rest: cause the weary to rest; and this is the refreshing. But they would not hear. Isa. 28:12
And the word of Jehovah was unto them precept upon precept, precept upon precept, line upon line, line upon line, here a little, there a little: that they might go, and fall backward, and be broken, and snared, and taken. Isa. 28:13
Therefore hear the word of Jehovah, ye scornful men, that rule this people which is in Jerusalem. Isa. 28:14
For ye have said, We have made a covenant with death, and with Sheol have we made an agreement; when the overflowing scourge shall pass through, it shall not come unto us; for we have made lies our refuge, and under falsehood have we hid ourselves. Isa. 28:15
Therefore thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Behold, I lay for foundation in Zion a stone, a tried stone, a precious corner-stone, a sure foundation: he that trusteth shall not make haste. Isa. 28:16
And I will appoint judgment for a line, and righteousness for a plummet; and the hail shall sweep away the refuge of lies, and the waters shall overflow the hiding-place. Isa. 28:17
And your covenant with death shall be annulled, and your agreement with Sheol shall not stand; when the overflowing scourge shall pass through, ye shall be trodden down by it. Isa. 28:18
As it passeth through it shall take you; for morning by morning shall it pass through, by day and by night; and it shall be terror only to understand the report. Isa. 28:19
For the bed is too short to stretch oneself on, and the covering too narrow when he would wrap himself in it. Isa. 28:20
For Jehovah will rise up as on mount Perazim, he will be moved with anger as in the valley of Gibeon; that he may do his work, his strange work, and perform his act, his unwonted act. Isa. 28:21
Now therefore be ye not scorners, lest your bonds be made strong; for I have heard from the Lord Jehovah of hosts a consumption, and one determined, upon the whole land. Isa. 28:22
Doth the ploughman plough all day to sow? Is he all day opening and breaking the clods of his land? Isa. 28:24
Doth he not, when he hath levelled the face thereof, cast abroad dill, and scatter cummin, and set the wheat in rows, and the barley in an appointed place, and the rye in its border? Isa. 28:25
For the dill is not threshed with a threshing instrument, neither is a cart-wheel turned about upon the cummin; but dill is beaten out with a staff, and cummin with a rod. Isa. 28:27
Bread corn is crushed, because he will not ever be threshing it; and if he drove the wheels of his cart and his horses over it, he would not crush it. Isa. 28:28
Woe to Ariel, to Ariel, the city of David's encampment! Add ye year to year; let the feasts come round. Isa. 29:1

And the multitude of thine enemies shall be like small dust, and the multitude of the terrible ones as chaff that passeth away; and it shall be in an instant, suddenly. Isa. 29:5
Thou shalt be visited by Jehovah of hosts with thunder and with earthquake and great noise, with whirlwind and tempest, and the flame of devouring fire. Isa. 29:6
And the multitude of all the nations that war against Ariel, even all that war against her and her fortifications, and that distress her, shall be as a dream of a night vision. Isa. 29:7
It shall even be as when the hungry dreameth, and, behold, he eateth; and he awaketh, and his soul is empty; or as when the thirsty dreameth, and, behold, he drinketh; and he awaketh, and, behold, he is faint, and his soul craveth: so shall the multitude of all the nations be that war against mount Zion. Isa. 29:8
For Jehovah hath poured out upon you a spirit of deep sleep, and hath closed your eyes; the prophets and your chiefs, the seers, hath he covered. Isa. 29:10
And the whole vision is become unto you as the words of a book that is sealed, which they give to one that can read, saying, Read this, I pray thee; and he saith, I cannot, for it is sealed. Isa. 29:11
And they give the book to him that cannot read, saying, Read this, I pray thee; and he saith, I cannot read. Isa. 29:12
And the Lord saith, Forasmuch as this people draw near with their mouth, and honour me with their lips, but their heart is removed far from me, and their fear of me is a commandment taught of men; Isa. 29:13
therefore, behold, I will proceed to do marvellously with this people, to do marvellously, even with wonder, and the wisdom of their wise men shall perish, and the understanding of their intelligent ones shall be hid. Isa. 29:14

and the meek shall increase their joy in Jehovah, and the needy among men shall rejoice in the Holy One of Israel. Isa. 29:19
For the terrible one shall come to nought, and the scorner shall be no more, and all that watch for iniquity shall be cut off, Isa. 29:20
that make a man an offender for a word, and lay a snare for him that reproveth in the gate, and pervert the judgment of the righteous by futility. Isa. 29:21
Therefore thus saith Jehovah who redeemed Abraham, concerning the house of Jacob: Jacob shall not now be ashamed, neither shall his face now be pale; Isa. 29:22
for when he seeth his children, the work of my hands, in the midst of him, they shall hallow my name, and hallow the Holy One of Jacob, and shall fear the God of Israel. Isa. 29:23
And they that are of erring spirit shall know understanding, and the disobedient shall learn doctrine. Isa. 29:24
Woe to the rebellious children, saith Jehovah, who take counsel, but not of me, and who make leagues, but not by my Spirit, that they may heap sin upon sin; Isa. 30:1
who walk to go down into Egypt, and have not asked of my mouth, -- to take refuge under the protection of Pharaoh, and trust in the shadow of Egypt! Isa. 30:2
For to you the protection of Pharaoh shall be a shame, and the trust in the shadow of Egypt a confusion. Isa. 30:3
-- The burden of the beasts of the south: Through a land of trouble and anguish, whence come the lioness and lion, the viper and fiery flying serpent, they carry their riches upon the shoulders of asses, and their treasures upon the bunches of camels, to the people that shall not profit them. Isa. 30:6
Now go, write it before them on a tablet, and record it in a book, that it may be for the time to come, as a witness for ever, Isa. 30:8
that this is a rebellious people, lying children, children that will not hear the law of Jehovah; Isa. 30:9
who say to the seers, See not; and to the prophets, Prophesy not unto us right things; speak unto us smooth things, prophesy deceits; Isa. 30:10
get you out of the way, turn aside out of the path, cause the Holy One of Israel to cease from before us! Isa. 30:11
Therefore thus saith the Holy One of Israel: Because ye reject this word, and confide in oppression and wilfulness, and depend thereon, Isa. 30:12
And he shall break it as the breaking of a potter's vessel, that is broken in pieces unsparingly; and in the pieces of it there shall not be found a sherd to take fire from the hearth, or to scoop water out of the cistern. Isa. 30:14
For thus saith the Lord Jehovah, the Holy One of Israel: In returning and rest shall ye be saved, in quietness and confidence shall be your strength; but ye would not. Isa. 30:15

And he will give the rain of thy seed with which thou shalt sow the ground; and bread, the produce of the ground, and it shall be fat and rich. In that day shall thy cattle feed in large pastures; Isa. 30:23
and the oxen and the asses that till the ground shall eat salted provender, which hath been winnowed with the shovel and with the fan. Isa. 30:24
And there shall be upon every high mountain and upon every hill that is lifted up, brooks and water-courses, in the day of the great slaughter, when the towers fall. Isa. 30:25
And the light of the moon shall be as the light of the sun, and the light of the sun shall be sevenfold, as the light of seven days, in the day that Jehovah bindeth up the breach of his people, and healeth the wound of their stroke. Isa. 30:26
Behold, the name of Jehovah cometh from far, burning with his anger -- a grievous conflagration; his lips are full of indignation, and his tongue as a consuming fire; Isa. 30:27
and his breath as an overflowing torrent, which reacheth even to the neck, to sift the nations with the sieve of destruction, and to put a bridle into the jaws of the peoples, that causeth them to go astray. Isa. 30:28

For Topheth is prepared of old; for the king also it is prepared: he hath made it deep and large; its pile is fire and much wood; the breath of Jehovah, like a stream of brimstone, doth kindle it. Isa. 30:33
Woe to them that go down to Egypt for help, and depend on horses, and confide in chariots because they are many, and in horsemen because they are very strong; and who look not unto the Holy One of Israel, neither seek Jehovah! Isa. 31:1
But he also is wise, and he bringeth evil, and recalleth not his words; and he will arise against the house of evildoers, and against the help of workers of iniquity. Isa. 31:2
And the Egyptians are men, and not *God, and their horses flesh, and not spirit; and Jehovah shall stretch forth his hand, and he that helpeth shall stumble, and he that is helped shall fall, and they all shall perish together. Isa. 31:3
For thus hath Jehovah said unto me: Like as the lion and the young lion growling over his prey, when a multitude of shepherds is called forth against him, is not afraid of their voice, nor giveth way before the multitude of them; so will Jehovah of hosts come down to war upon mount Zion, and on the hill thereof. Isa. 31:4
And Asshur shall fall by the sword, not of a great man; and the sword, not of a mean man, shall devour him: and he shall flee from the sword, and his young men shall become tributary; Isa. 31:8
and for fear, he shall pass over to his rock, and his princes shall be afraid of the banner, saith Jehovah, whose fire is in Zion, and his furnace in Jerusalem. Isa. 31:9
And a man shall be as a hiding-place from the wind, and a covert from the storm; as brooks of water in a dry place, as the shadow of a great rock in a thirsty land. Isa. 32:2
And the eyes of them that see shall not be dim, and the ears of them that hear shall hearken; Isa. 32:3
and the heart of the rash shall understand knowledge, and the tongue of the stammerers shall be ready to speak plainly. Isa. 32:4
The vile man shall be no more called noble, nor the churl said to be bountiful: Isa. 32:5
for the vile man will speak villainy, and his heart will work iniquity, to practise hypocrisy, and to utter error against Jehovah, to make empty the soul of the hungry, and to cause the drink of the thirsty to fail. Isa. 32:6
The instruments also of the churl are evil: he deviseth wicked devices to destroy the meek with lying words, even when the needy speaketh right. Isa. 32:7
But the noble deviseth noble things; and to noble things doth he stand. Isa. 32:8
In a year and some days shall ye be troubled, ye careless women; for the vintage shall fail, the ingathering shall not come. Isa. 32:10
They shall smite on the breasts in lamentation for the pleasant fields, for the fruitful vineyards. Isa. 32:12
Upon the land of my people shall come up thistles and briars, yea, upon all the houses of joy in the joyous city. Isa. 32:13
For the palace shall be deserted, the multitude of the city shall be forsaken; hill and watchtower shall be caves for ever, a joy of wild asses, a pasture of flocks; Isa. 32:14
until the Spirit be poured upon us from on high, and the wilderness become a fruitful field, and the fruitful field be counted for a forest. Isa. 32:15
And judgment shall inhabit the wilderness, and righteousness dwell in the fruitful field. Isa. 32:16
And the work of righteousness shall be peace; and the effect of righteousness, quietness and assurance for ever. Isa. 32:17
And it shall hail, coming down on the forest; and the city shall be low in a low place. Isa. 32:19
Blessed are ye that sow beside all waters, that send forth the feet of the ox and the ass. Isa. 32:20
Jehovah, be gracious unto us; we have waited for thee: be their arm every morning, yea, our salvation in the time of trouble. Isa. 33:2
At the noise of the tumult the peoples fled; at the lifting up of thyself the nations were scattered. Isa. 33:3
And your spoil shall be gathered like the gathering of the caterpillar: as the running of locusts shall they run upon it. Isa. 33:4
and he shall be the stability of thy times, the riches of salvation, wisdom and knowledge: the fear of Jehovah shall be your treasure. Isa. 33:6
Behold, their valiant ones cry without; the messengers of peace weep bitterly. Isa. 33:7
The highways are desolate, the wayfaring man ceaseth. He hath broken the covenant, he hath despised the cities, he regardeth no man. Isa. 33:8
The land mourneth, it languisheth; Lebanon is ashamed, is withered; the Sharon is become as a desert, and Bashan and Carmel are stripped. Isa. 33:9
And the peoples shall be as burnings of lime, as thorns cut up shall they be burned in the fire. Isa. 33:12
The sinners in Zion are afraid; trembling hath surprised the hypocrites: Who among us shall dwell with the consuming fire? who among us shall dwell with everlasting flames? Isa. 33:14
-- He that walketh righteously, and speaketh uprightly; he that despiseth the gain of oppressions, that shaketh his hands from taking hold of bribes, that stoppeth his ears from hearing of blood, and shutteth his eyes from seeing evil: Isa. 33:15
he shall dwell on high, the fortresses of the rocks shall be his high retreat; bread shall be given him, his water shall be sure. Isa. 33:16
Thine eyes shall see the King in his beauty; they shall behold the land that is far off. Isa. 33:17
Thy heart shall meditate on terror: Where is the scribe? where is the receiver? where is he that counted the towers? Isa. 33:18
Thou shalt no more see the fierce people, a people of a deeper speech than thou canst comprehend, of a stammering tongue that cannot be understood. Isa. 33:19
Look upon Zion, the city of our solemnities: thine eyes shall see Jerusalem a quiet habitation, a tent that shall not be removed, the stakes whereof shall never be pulled up, neither shall any of its cords be broken; Isa. 33:20
Thy tacklings are loosed; they strengthen not the socket of their mast, they cannot spread the sail: then is the prey of a great spoil divided; the lame take the prey. Isa. 33:23
And the inhabitant shall not say, I am sick: the people that dwell therein shall be forgiven their iniquity. Isa. 33:24
Come near, ye nations, to hear; and hearken, ye peoples: let the earth hear, and all its fulness; the world, and all that cometh forth of it. Isa. 34:1
For the wrath of Jehovah is against all the nations, and his fury against all their armies: he hath devoted them to destruction, he hath delivered them to the slaughter. Isa. 34:2
And their slain shall be cast out, and their stink shall come up from their carcases, and the mountains shall be melted with their blood. Isa. 34:3
And all the host of the heavens shall be dissolved, and the heavens shall be rolled together as a scroll; and all their host shall fade away, as a leaf fadeth from off the vine, and as the withered fruit from the fig-tree. Isa. 34:4
For my sword is bathed in the heavens; behold, it shall come down upon Edom, and upon the people of my ban, to judgment. Isa. 34:5
The sword of Jehovah is filled with blood, it is made fat with fatness, with the blood of lambs and goats, with the fat of the kidneys of rams; for Jehovah hath a sacrifice in Bozrah, and a great slaughter in the land of Edom. Isa. 34:6
And the buffaloes shall come down with them, and the bullocks with the bulls; and their land shall be soaked with blood, and their dust made fat with fatness. Isa. 34:7
For it is the day of Jehovah's vengeance, the year of recompenses for the controversy of Zion. Isa. 34:8
And the torrents thereof shall be turned into pitch, and its dust into brimstone; yea, the land thereof shall become burning pitch: Isa. 34:9
it shall not be quenched night nor day; the smoke thereof shall go up for ever: from generation to generation it shall lie waste; none shall pass through it for ever and ever. Isa. 34:10
And the pelican and the bittern shall possess it, and the great owl and the raven shall dwell in it. And he shall stretch out upon it the line of waste, and the plummets of emptiness. Isa. 34:11
Of her nobles who should proclaim the kingdom, none are there; and all her princes shall be nought. Isa. 34:12

There shall the arrow-snake make her nest, and lay, and hatch, and gather under her shadow; there also shall the vultures be gathered one with another. Isa. 34:15
Search ye in the book of Jehovah and read: not one of these shall fail, one shall not have to seek for the other; for my mouth, it hath commanded, and his Spirit, it hath gathered them. Isa. 34:16
For he himself hath cast the lot for them, and his hand hath divided it unto them with the line: they shall possess it for ever; from generation to generation shall they dwell therein. Isa. 34:17
The wilderness and the dry land shall be gladdened; and the desert shall rejoice, and blossom as the rose. Isa. 35:1
It shall blossom abundantly and rejoice even with joy and shouting: the glory of Lebanon shall be given unto it, the excellency of Carmel and Sharon. They shall see the glory of Jehovah, the excellency of our God. Isa. 35:2
Strengthen the weak hands and confirm the tottering knees. Isa. 35:3
Say to them that are of a timid heart, Be strong, fear not; behold your God: vengeance cometh, the recompense of God! He will come himself, and save you. Isa. 35:4
Then the eyes of the blind shall be opened, and the ears of the deaf be unstopped; Isa. 35:5
then shall the lame man leap as a hart, and the tongue of the dumb sing: for in the wilderness shall waters break out, and torrents in the desert. Isa. 35:6
And the mirage shall become a pool, and the thirsty land springs of water: in the habitation of wild dogs, where they lay down, shall be grass with reeds and rushes. Isa. 35:7
And a highway shall be there and a way, and it shall be called, The way of holiness: the unclean shall not pass through it; but it shall be for these. Those that go this way -- even fools, -- shall not err therein. Isa. 35:8

And it came to pass in the fourteenth year of king Hezekiah, that Sennacherib king of Assyria came up against all the fortified cities of Judah, and took them. Isa. 36:1
And the king of Assyria sent Rab-shakeh from Lachish to Jerusalem, to king Hezekiah, with a strong force. And he stood by the aqueduct of the upper pool, on the highway of the fuller's field. Isa. 36:2
Then came forth to him Eliakim the son of Hilkijah, who was over the household, and Shebna the scribe, and Joah the son of Asaph, the chronicler. Isa. 36:3
And Rab-shakeh said to them, Say now to Hezekiah, Thus says the great king, the king of Assyria: What confidence is this in which thou trustest? Isa. 36:4
Thou sayest, but it is a word of the lips, There is counsel and strength for war. Now on whom dost thou rely, that thou hast revolted against me? Isa. 36:5
Behold, thou reliest upon the staff of that broken reed, upon Egypt, on which if a man lean, it goes into his hand, and pierces it: so is Pharaoh king of Egypt to all that rely upon him. Isa. 36:6
And now engage, I pray thee, with my master the king of Assyria, and I will give thee two thousand horses, if thou be able on thy part to set riders upon them. Isa. 36:8
How then wilt thou turn away the face of one captain of the least of my master's servants? And thou reliest upon Egypt for chariots and for horsemen! Isa. 36:9
And Eliakim and Shebna and Joah said to Rab-shakeh, Speak, we pray thee, to thy servants in Syriac, for we understand it; and speak not to us in the Jewish language in the ears of the people that are upon the wall. Isa. 36:11
And Rab-shakeh said, Is it to thy master and to thee that my master sent me to speak these words? Is it not to the men that sit on the wall, that they may eat their own dung, and drink their own urine with you? Isa. 36:12
And Rab-shakeh stood and cried with a loud voice in the Jewish language, and said, Hear the words of the great king, the king of Assyria! Isa. 36:13
Thus says the king: Let not Hezekiah deceive you; for he will not be able to deliver you. Isa. 36:14
Neither let Hezekiah make you rely upon Jehovah, saying, Jehovah will certainly deliver us; this city shall not be given into the hand of the king of Assyria. Isa. 36:15
Hearken not to Hezekiah; for thus says the king of Assyria: Make peace with me and come out to me; and eat every one of his vine, and every one of his fig-tree, and drink every one the waters of his own cistern; Isa. 36:16
Let not Hezekiah persuade you, saying, Jehovah will deliver us. Has any of the gods of the nations delivered his land out of the hand of the king of Assyria? Isa. 36:18
Where are the gods of Hamath and of Arpad? where are the gods of Sepharvaim? and have they delivered Samaria out of my hand? Isa. 36:19
Who are they among all the gods of these countries that have delivered their country out of my hand, that Jehovah should deliver Jerusalem out of my hand? Isa. 36:20
And they were silent, and answered him not a word; for the king's command was, saying, Answer him not. Isa. 36:21
And Eliakim the son of Hilkijah, who was over the household, and Shebna the scribe, and Joah the son of Asaph, the chronicler, came to Hezekiah, with their garments rent, and told him the words of Rab-shakeh. Isa. 36:22
And it came to pass when king Hezekiah heard it, that he rent his garments, and covered himself with sackcloth, and went into the house of Jehovah. Isa. 37:1
And he sent Eliakim, who was over the household, and Shebna the scribe, and the elders of the priests, covered with sackcloth, to the prophet Isaiah the son of Amoz. Isa. 37:2
And they said to him, Thus says Hezekiah: This day is a day of trouble, and of rebuke, and of reviling; for the children are come to the birth, and there is not strength to bring forth. Isa. 37:3

And the word of Jehovah came unto me, saying, Jer. 13:8
Thus saith Jehovah: After this manner will I spoil the pride of Judah, and the great pride of Jerusalem. Jer. 13:9

And Jehovah said unto me, The prophets prophesy falsehood in my name; I have not sent them, neither have I commanded them, nor spoken unto them: they prophesy unto you a false vision, and divination, and a thing of nought, and the deceit of their heart. Jer. 14:14
Therefore thus saith Jehovah concerning the prophets that prophesy in my name, and I sent them not, and who say, Sword and famine shall not be in this land: By sword and by famine shall those prophets be consumed; Jer. 14:15

And it shall come to pass, if they say unto thee, Whither shall we go forth? then thou shalt tell them, Thus saith Jehovah: Such as are for death, to death; and such as are for the sword, to the sword; and such as are for the famine, to the famine; and such as are for captivity, to captivity. Jer. 15:2
For I will visit them with four kinds of punishments, saith Jehovah: the sword to slay, and dogs to tear, and the fowl of the heavens, and the beasts of the earth, to devour and to destroy. Jer. 15:3
And I will give them over to be driven hither and thither amongst all the kingdoms of the earth, because of Manasseh the son of Hezekiah, king of Judah, for that which he did in Jerusalem. Jer. 15:4
And I will fan them with a fan in the gates of the land; I will bereave of children and destroy my people: they have not returned from their ways. Jer. 15:7
Their widows are increased to me more than the sand of the seas; I have brought upon them, against the mother of the young men, a spoiler at noonday; I have caused anguish and terror to fall upon her suddenly. Jer. 15:8
She that hath borne seven languisheth, she hath given up the ghost; her sun is gone down while it is yet day; she is put to shame and confounded. And the residue of them will I give up to the sword before their enemies, saith Jehovah. Jer. 15:9
Woe is me, my mother, that thou hast borne me a man of strife and a man of contention to the whole land! I have not lent on usury, nor have they lent to me on usury; yet every one of them doth curse me. Jer. 15:10
Jehovah said, Verily I will set thee free for thy good; verily I will cause the enemy to meet thee kindly in the time of evil and in the time of affliction. Jer. 15:11

yea, I will deliver thee out of the hand of the wicked, and I will redeem thee out of the hand of the terrible. Jer. 15:21
And the word of Jehovah came to me, saying, Jer. 16:1
For thus saith Jehovah concerning the sons and concerning the daughters that are born in this place, and concerning their mothers that bear them, and concerning their fathers that beget them in this land: Jer. 16:3
They shall die of painful deaths; they shall not be lamented, neither shall they be buried; they shall be as dung upon the face of the ground, and they shall be consumed by the sword, and by famine, and their carcases shall be food for the fowl of the heavens and for the beasts of the earth. Jer. 16:4
For thus saith Jehovah: Enter not into the house of wailing, neither go to lament or bemoan them; for I have taken away my peace from this people, saith Jehovah, the loving-kindness and the tender mercies. Jer. 16:5
Nor shall they break bread for them in mourning, to comfort them for the dead; neither shall they give them the cup of consolations to drink for their father or for their mother. Jer. 16:7
And thou shalt not go into the house of feasting, to sit with them, to eat and to drink. Jer. 16:8
For thus saith Jehovah of hosts, the God of Israel: Behold, I will cause to cease out of this place, before your eyes, and in your days, the voice of mirth and the voice of joy, the voice of the bridegroom and the voice of the bride. Jer. 16:9
and you, ye have done still worse than your fathers; and there ye are walking every one after the stubbornness of his evil heart, not to hearken unto me: Jer. 16:12
Therefore, behold, days are coming, saith Jehovah, that it shall no more be said, As Jehovah liveth, who brought up the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt; Jer. 16:14
but, As Jehovah liveth, who brought up the children of Israel from the land of the north, and from all the lands whither he had driven them. For I will bring them again into their land, which I gave unto their fathers. Jer. 16:15
Behold, I will send for many fishers, saith Jehovah, and they shall fish them; and afterwards will I send for many hunters, and they shall hunt them, from every mountain, and from every hill, and out of the holes of the rocks. Jer. 16:16
But first I will recompense their iniquity and their sin double, because they have profaned my land with the carcases of their detestable things, and with their abominations have they filled mine inheritance. Jer. 16:18
Jehovah, my strength and my fortress, and my refuge in the day of distress, unto thee shall the nations come from the ends of the earth, and they shall say, Surely our fathers have inherited falsehood and vanity; and in these things there is no profit. Jer. 16:19
The sin of Judah is written with a style of iron, with the point of a diamond, engraven upon the tablet of their heart, and upon the horns of your altars; Jer. 17:1
whilst their children remember their altars and their Asherahs, by the green trees, upon the high hills. Jer. 17:2
My mountain in the field, thy substance, all thy treasures will I give for a spoil, -- thy high places, because of sin throughout thy borders. Jer. 17:3
Thus saith Jehovah: Cursed is the man that confideth in man, and maketh flesh his arm, and whose heart departeth from Jehovah. Jer. 17:5
And he shall be like the heath in the desert, and shall not see when good cometh; but he shall inhabit the parched places in the wilderness, a salt land and not inhabited. Jer. 17:6
Blessed is the man that confideth in Jehovah, and whose confidence Jehovah is. Jer. 17:7
For he shall be like a tree planted by the waters, and that spreadeth out its roots by the stream, and he shall not see when heat cometh, but his leaf shall be green; and in the year of drought he shall not be careful, neither shall he cease to yield fruit. Jer. 17:8

Thus hath Jehovah said unto me: Go and stand in the gate of the children of the people, by which the kings of Judah come in, and by which they go out, and in all the gates of Jerusalem; Jer. 17:19
and say unto them, Hear the word of Jehovah, ye kings of Judah, and all Judah, and all the inhabitants of Jerusalem, that enter in by these gates; Jer. 17:20
thus saith Jehovah: Take heed to your souls, and bear no burden on the sabbath day, and bring nothing in through the gates of Jerusalem; Jer. 17:21
and carry forth no burden out of your houses on the sabbath day, neither do any work; but hallow ye the sabbath day, as I commanded your fathers, Jer. 17:22
And it shall come to pass, if ye diligently hearken unto me, saith Jehovah, to bring in no burden through the gates of this city on the sabbath day, and to hallow the sabbath day, to do no work therein; Jer. 17:24
then shall there enter in, through the gates of this city, kings and princes sitting upon the throne of David, riding in chariots and on horses, they and their princes, the men of Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem: and this city shall be inhabited for ever. Jer. 17:25
And they shall come from the cities of Judah, and from the places around Jerusalem, and from the land of Benjamin, and from the lowland, and from the hill-country, and from the south, bringing burnt-offerings, and sacrifices, and oblations, and incense, and bringing thanksgiving unto the house of Jehovah.

But if ye will not hearken unto me, to hallow the sabbath day and not to bear a burden and enter in through the gates of Jerusalem on the sabbath day, then will I kindle a fire in the gates thereof, and it shall devour the palaces of Jerusalem, and it shall not be quenched. Jer. 17:27
The word that came to Jeremiah from Jehovah, saying, Jer. 18:1
Arise and go down to the potter's house, and there I will cause thee to hear my words. Jer. 18:2
And I went down to the potter's house; and behold, he wrought a work on the wheels. Jer. 18:3
And the vessel that he made was marred, as clay, in the hand of the potter; and he made it again another vessel, as seemed good to the potter to make. Jer. 18:4
And the word of Jehovah came to me, saying, Jer. 18:5
House of Israel, cannot I do with you as this potter? saith Jehovah. Behold, as the clay in the potter's hand, so are ye in my hand, house of Israel. Jer. 18:6
At the moment that I speak concerning a nation and concerning a kingdom, to pluck up, and to break down, and to destroy, Jer. 18:7
if that nation, concerning which I have spoken, turn from their evil, then I will repent of the evil that I thought to do unto them. Jer. 18:8
And at the moment that I speak concerning a nation and concerning a kingdom, to build and to plant, Jer. 18:9
if it do evil in my sight, that it hearken not unto my voice, then I will repent of the good wherewith I said I would benefit them. Jer. 18:10
And now, speak to the men of Judah and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem, saying, Thus saith Jehovah: Behold, I prepare evil against you, and devise a device against you: turn ye then every one from his evil way, and amend your ways and your doings. Jer. 18:11
But they say, There is no hope; for we will walk after our own devices, and we will each one do according to the stubbornness of his evil heart. Jer. 18:12
Therefore thus saith Jehovah: Ask ye now among the nations, Who hath heard such things? The virgin of Israel hath done a very horrible thing. Jer. 18:13
Shall the snow of Lebanon cease from the rock of the field? Shall the cool flowing waters coming from afar be dried up? Jer. 18:14
For my people hath forgotten me: they burn incense to vanity; and they have caused them to stumble in their ways, the ancient paths, to walk in by-paths of a way not cast up; Jer. 18:15
As with an east wind will I scatter them before the enemy; I will shew them the back, and not the face, in the day of their calamity. Jer. 18:17
And they said, Come, and let us devise devices against Jeremiah; for law shall not perish from the priest, nor counsel from the wise, nor word from the prophet. Come and let us smite him with the tongue, and let us not give heed to any of his words. Jer. 18:18
Jehovah, give heed to me, and listen to the voice of those that contend with me. Jer. 18:19
Therefore give up their children to the famine, and deliver them over to the power of the sword; and let their wives be bereaved of children and be widows; and let their men be swept off by death, their young men be smitten by the sword in battle. Jer. 18:21
And thou, Jehovah, knowest all their counsel against me to slay me. Forgive not their iniquity, neither blot out their sin from thy sight, but let them be overthrown before thee: deal with them in the time of thine anger. Jer. 18:23
Thus saith Jehovah: Go and buy a potter's earthen flagon, and take of the elders of the people, and of the elders of the priests; Jer. 19:1
and go forth unto the valley of the son of Hinnom, which is by the entry of the pottery-gate, and proclaim there the words that I shall tell thee, Jer. 19:2
and say, Hear the word of Jehovah, O kings of Judah, and inhabitants of Jerusalem. Thus saith Jehovah of hosts, the God of Israel: Behold, I will bring evil upon this place, the which whosoever heareth, his ears shall tingle; Jer. 19:3
because they have forsaken me, and have estranged this place from me, and have burned incense in it unto other gods, whom neither they nor their fathers have known, nor the kings of Judah; and have filled this place with the blood of innocents; Jer. 19:4
and they have built the high places of Baal, to burn their sons in the fire as burnt-offerings unto Baal, which I commanded not, nor spake it, neither came it up into my mind: Jer. 19:5
therefore behold, days come, saith Jehovah, that this place shall no more be called Topheth, nor Valley of the son of Hinnom, but the valley of slaughter. Jer. 19:6
And I will make void the counsel of Judah and Jerusalem in this place; and I will cause them to fall by the sword before their enemies, and by the hand of them that seek their life, and their carcases will I give as food to the fowl of the heavens and to the beasts of the earth. Jer. 19:7
And I will make this city an astonishment and a hissing; every one that passeth by shall be astonished and hiss because of all the plagues thereof. Jer. 19:8
And I will cause them to eat the flesh of their sons and the flesh of their daughters, and they shall eat everyone the flesh of his friend, in the siege and in the straitness wherewith their enemies, and they that seek their lives, shall straiten them. Jer. 19:9
And thou shalt break the flagon in the sight of the men that go with thee, Jer. 19:10
Thus will I do unto this place, saith Jehovah, and to the inhabitants thereof, and make this city as Topheth. Jer. 19:12
And the houses of Jerusalem and the houses of the kings of Judah shall be as the place of Topheth, defiled, all the houses upon whose roofs they have burned incense unto all the host of the heavens, and have poured out drink-offerings unto other gods. Jer. 19:13
And Jeremiah came from Topheth, whither Jehovah had sent him to prophesy; and he stood in the court of Jehovah's house, and said to all the people, Jer. 19:14
Thus saith Jehovah of hosts, the God of Israel: Behold, I will bring upon this city and upon all her cities all the evil that I have spoken against it; for they have hardened their necks, not to hear my words. Jer. 19:15
And Pashur the son of Immer, the priest -- and he was chief officer in the house of Jehovah -- heard Jeremiah prophesy these things. Jer. 20:1
And Pashur smote Jeremiah the prophet, and put him in the stocks that were in the upper gate of Benjamin, which was in the house of Jehovah. Jer. 20:2
And it came to pass the next day, that Pashur brought forth Jeremiah out of the stocks; and Jeremiah said unto him, Jehovah hath not called thy name Pashur, but Magor-missabib. Jer. 20:3
For thus saith Jehovah: Behold, I make thee a terror to thyself, and to all thy friends; and they shall fall by the sword of their enemies, and thine eyes shall see it; and I will give all Judah into the hand of the king of Babylon, and he shall carry them captive into Babylon, and shall smite them with the sword. Jer. 20:4
And, I will give all the wealth of this city, and all its gains, and all its precious things, and all the treasures of the kings of Judah, will I give into the hand of their enemies; and they shall make them a prey, and take them, and carry them to Babylon. Jer. 20:5
Jehovah, thou hast enticed me, and I was enticed; thou hast laid hold of me, and hast prevailed; I am become a derision the whole day: every one mocketh me. Jer. 20:7
For as oft as I speak, I cry out; I proclaim violence and spoil; for the word of Jehovah is become unto me a reproach and a derision all the day. Jer. 20:8
For I have heard the defaming of many, terror on every side: Report, and we will report it. All my familiars are watching for my stumbling: Peradventure he will be enticed, and we shall prevail against him; and we shall take our revenge on him. Jer. 20:10
And thou, Jehovah of hosts, who triest the righteous, who seest the reins and the heart, let me see thy vengeance on them; for unto thee have I revealed my cause. Jer. 20:12
Sing ye unto Jehovah, praise Jehovah, for he hath delivered the soul of the needy from the hand of evildoers. Jer. 20:13
Cursed be the day wherein I was born; let not the day wherein my mother bore me be blessed! Jer. 20:14
Cursed be the man who brought tidings to my father, saying, A man child is born unto thee; making him very glad! Jer. 20:15
And let that man be as the cities which Jehovah overthrew, and repented not; and let him hear a cry in the morning, and a shouting at noonday, Jer. 20:16
because he slew me not from the womb. Or would that my mother had been my grave, and her womb always great with me! Jer. 20:17
Wherefore came I forth from the womb to see labour and sorrow, that my days should be consumed in shame? Jer. 20:18
The word that came unto Jeremiah from Jehovah, when king Zedekiah sent unto him Pashur the son of Malchijah, and Zephaniah the son of Maaseiah, the priest, saying, Jer. 21:1
Inquire, I pray thee, of Jehovah for us; for Nebuchadrezzar the king of Babylon maketh war against us; if so be that Jehovah will deal with us according to all his marvellous works, that he may go up from us. Jer. 21:2
Thus saith Jehovah the God of Israel: Behold, I will turn back the weapons of war that are in your hands, with which ye fight against the king of Babylon, and against the Chaldeans who besiege you, outside the walls, and I will assemble them into the midst of this city. Jer. 21:4
And I will smite the inhabitants of this city, both man and beast: they shall die of a great pestilence. Jer. 21:6
And afterwards, saith Jehovah, I will give Zedekiah king of Judah, and his servants, and the people, and such as are left in this city from the pestilence, from the sword, and from the famine, into the hand of Nebuchadrezzar the king of Babylon, and into the hand of their enemies, and into the hand of those that seek their life, and he shall smite them with the edge of the sword: he shall not spare them, neither have pity, nor have mercy. Jer. 21:7
And unto this people thou shalt say, Thus saith Jehovah: Behold, I set before you the way of life, and the way of death. Jer. 21:8
He that abideth in this city shall die by the sword, and by the famine, and by the pestilence; but he that goeth out, and deserteth to the Chaldeans that besiege you, he shall live, and his life shall be unto him for a prey. Jer. 21:9
For I have set my face against this city for evil, and not for good, saith Jehovah: it shall be given into the hand of the king of Babylon, and he shall burn it with fire. Jer. 21:10
And touching the house of the king of Judah, hear ye the word of Jehovah. Jer. 21:11
House of David, thus saith Jehovah: Judge with justice in the morning, and deliver him that is spoiled out of the hand of the oppressor, lest my fury go forth like fire and burn, and there be none to quench it, because of the evil of your doings. Jer. 21:12
Behold, I am against thee, inhabitress of the valley, the rock of the plain, saith Jehovah; ye that say, Who shall come down against us, or who shall enter into our dwellings? Jer. 21:13
And I will visit you according to the fruit of your doings, saith Jehovah; and I will kindle a fire in her forest, and it shall devour all that is round about her. Jer. 21:14
Thus saith Jehovah: Go down to the house of the king of Judah, and speak there this word, Jer. 22:1
and say, Hear the word of Jehovah, O king of Judah, that sittest upon the throne of David, thou, and thy servants, and thy people who enter in through these gates. Jer. 22:2
Thus saith Jehovah: Execute judgment and righteousness, and deliver the spoiled out of the hand of the oppressor; and do no wrong, do no violence to the stranger, the fatherless, or the widow, and shed not innocent blood in this place. Jer. 22:3
For if ye do this thing indeed, then shall there enter in through the gates of this house kings sitting in the place of David upon his throne, riding in chariots and on horses, -- he, and his servants, and his people. Jer. 22:4
For thus saith Jehovah concerning the house of the king of Judah: Thou art a Gilead unto me, the summit of Lebanon: verily I will make thee a wilderness, cities not inhabited. Jer. 22:6
And I will prepare destroyers against thee, every one with his weapons; and they shall cut down the choice of thy cedars, and cast them into the fire. Jer. 22:7
And they shall say, Because they have forsaken the covenant of Jehovah their God, and worshipped other gods, and served them. Jer. 22:9
Weep not for the dead, neither bemoan him; but weep sore for him that goeth away, for he shall return no more, nor see his native country. Jer. 22:10
For thus saith Jehovah concerning Shallum the son of Josiah, the king of Judah, who reigned instead of Josiah his father, who went forth out of this place: He shall not return thither any more; Jer. 22:11
for he shall die in the place whither they have led him captive, and shall see this land no more. Jer. 22:12
Shalt thou reign, because thou viest with the cedar? Did not thy father eat and drink, and do judgment and justice? Then it was well with him. Jer. 22:15
He judged the cause of the poor and needy; then it was well. Was not this to know me? saith Jehovah. Jer. 22:16
But thine eyes and thy heart are only on thine extortion, and on the blood of the innocent, to shed it, and on oppression and on violence, to do it. Jer. 22:17
Therefore thus saith Jehovah concerning Jehoiakim the son of Josiah, the king of Judah: They shall not lament for him, Ah, my brother! or, Ah, sister! They shall not lament for him, Ah, lord! or Ah, his glory! Jer. 22:18
He shall be buried with the burial of an ass, dragged along and cast forth beyond the gates of Jerusalem. Jer. 22:19
Go up to Lebanon, and cry; and give forth thy voice in Bashan, and cry from the heights of Abarim: for all thy lovers are destroyed. Jer. 22:20
The wind shall feed on all thy shepherds, and thy lovers shall go into captivity; surely, then shalt thou be ashamed and confounded for all thy wickedness. Jer. 22:22
Thou inhabitress of Lebanon, that makest thy nest in the cedars, how pitiful shalt thou be when pangs come upon thee, pain as of a woman in travail! Jer. 22:23
As I live, saith Jehovah, though Coniah the son of Jehoiakim, the king of Judah, were a signet upon my right hand, yet will I pluck thee thence; Jer. 22:24
and I will give thee into the hand of them that seek thy life, and into the hand of them before whom thou art afraid, even into the hand of Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon, and into the hand of the Chaldeans. Jer. 22:25
And into the land whereunto they lift up their souls to return, thither shall they not return. Jer. 22:27
O earth, earth, earth, hear the word of Jehovah! Jer. 22:29
Thus saith Jehovah: Write this man childless, a man that shall not prosper in his days; for no man of his seed shall prosper, sitting upon the throne of David, and ruling any more in Judah. Jer. 22:30
Woe unto the shepherds that destroy and scatter the sheep of my pasture! saith Jehovah. Jer. 23:1
Therefore thus saith Jehovah the God of Israel concerning the shepherds that feed my people: Ye have scattered my flock, and driven them away, and have not visited them: behold, I will visit upon you the evil of your doings, saith Jehovah. Jer. 23:2
And I will gather the remnant of my flock out of all countries whither I have driven them, and will bring them again to their pastures; and they shall be fruitful and shall multiply. Jer. 23:3
Behold, the days come, saith Jehovah, when I will raise unto David a righteous Branch, who shall reign as king, and act wisely, and shall execute judgment and righteousness in the land. Jer. 23:5
Therefore behold, days are coming, saith Jehovah, that they shall no more say, As Jehovah liveth, who brought up the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt; Jer. 23:7
but, As Jehovah liveth, who brought up and who led back the seed of the house of Israel out of the north country, and from all countries whither I had driven them. And they shall dwell in their own land. Jer. 23:8
Concerning the prophets: My heart within me is broken; all my bones shake; I am like a drunken man, and like a man whom wine hath overcome; because of Jehovah, and because of the words of his holiness. Jer. 23:9
For the land is full of adulterers; for because of execration the land mourneth. The pastures of the wilderness are dried up; for their course is evil, and their force is not right. Jer. 23:10
Therefore their way shall be unto them as slippery places in the darkness; they shall be driven on, and fall therein: for I will bring evil upon them in the year of their visitation, saith Jehovah. Jer. 23:12
And I have seen folly in the prophets of Samaria: they prophesied by Baal, and caused my people Israel to err. Jer. 23:13
And in the prophets of Jerusalem have I seen a horrible thing: they commit adultery, and walk in falsehood, and strengthen the hands of evildoers, so that none doth return from his wickedness. They are all become unto me as Sodom, and the inhabitants thereof as Gomorrah. Jer. 23:14
Therefore thus saith Jehovah of hosts concerning the prophets: Behold, I will feed them with wormwood, and make them drink water of gall; for from the prophets of Jerusalem is profaneness gone forth into all the land. Jer. 23:15
Thus saith Jehovah of hosts: Hearken not unto the words of the prophets that prophesy unto you: they lead you to vanity; they speak a vision of their own heart, not out of the mouth of Jehovah. Jer. 23:16
They say constantly unto them that despise me, Jehovah hath said, Ye shall have peace. And they say unto every one that walketh in the stubbornness of his heart, No evil shall come upon you. Jer. 23:17
For who hath stood in the council of Jehovah, so that he hath perceived and heard his word? who hath hearkened to his word and listened? Jer. 23:18
Behold, a tempest of Jehovah, fury is gone forth, yea, a whirling storm: it shall whirl down upon the head of the wicked. Jer. 23:19
The anger of Jehovah shall not return, until he have executed, and until he have performed the purposes of his heart: at the end of the days ye shall understand it clearly. Jer. 23:20
I did not send the prophets, yet they ran; I have not spoken to them, yet they prophesied. Jer. 23:21
But if they had stood in my council, and had caused my people to hear my words, then would they have turned them from their evil way and from the wickedness of their doings. Jer. 23:22
Can any hide himself in secret places, that I shall not see him? saith Jehovah. Do not I fill the heavens and the earth? saith Jehovah. Jer. 23:24
I have heard what the prophets say, who prophesy falsehood in my name, saying, I have dreamed, I have dreamed. Jer. 23:25
How long shall this be in the heart of the prophets who prophesy falsehood, and who are prophets of the deceit of their own heart? Jer. 23:26
The prophet that hath a dream, let him tell the dream; and he that hath my word, let him speak my word faithfully. What is the chaff to the wheat? saith Jehovah. Jer. 23:28
Is not my word like a fire, saith Jehovah; and like a hammer that breaketh the rock in pieces? Jer. 23:29
Therefore, behold, I am against the prophets, saith Jehovah, that steal my words every one from his neighbour. Jer. 23:30
Behold, I am against the prophets, saith Jehovah, that use their tongues, and say, He hath said. Jer. 23:31
And when this people, or a prophet, or a priest, ask thee, saying, What is the burden of Jehovah? thou shalt then say unto them, What burden? I will even cast you off, saith Jehovah. Jer. 23:33
And as for the prophet, and the priest, and the people, that shall say, The burden of Jehovah, I will even punish that man and his house. Jer. 23:34
And the burden of Jehovah shall ye mention no more; for every man's own word shall be his burden: for ye have perverted the words of the living God, of Jehovah of hosts, our God. Jer. 23:36
Thus shalt thou say to the prophet: What hath Jehovah answered thee? and, What hath Jehovah spoken? Jer. 23:37
But since ye say, The burden of Jehovah, therefore thus saith Jehovah: Because ye say this word, The burden of Jehovah, and I have sent unto you, saying, Ye shall not say, The burden of Jehovah; Jer. 23:38
therefore behold, I will utterly forget you, and I will cast you off, far from my face, and the city that I gave to you and to your fathers. Jer. 23:39
Jehovah shewed me, and behold, two baskets of figs, set before the temple of Jehovah, after that Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon had carried away captive from Jerusalem, Jeconiah the son of Jehoiakim, the king of Judah, and the princes of Judah, and the craftsmen and smiths, and had brought them to Babylon. Jer. 24:1
One basket had very good figs, like the figs first ripe; and the other basket had very bad figs, which could not be eaten for badness. Jer. 24:2
And Jehovah said unto me, What seest thou, Jeremiah? And I said, Figs: the good figs very good; and the bad very bad, which cannot be eaten for badness. Jer. 24:3
And the word of Jehovah came unto me, saying, Jer. 24:4
Thus saith Jehovah, the God of Israel: Like these good figs, so will I regard for good them that are carried away captive of Judah, whom I have sent out of this place into the land of the Chaldeans; Jer. 24:5
And as the bad figs, which cannot be eaten for badness, surely, thus saith Jehovah: So will I make Zedekiah the king of Judah, and his princes, and the remnant of Jerusalem, that remain in this land, and them that dwell in the land of Egypt. Jer. 24:8
And I will give them over to be driven hither and thither unto all the kingdoms of the earth for evil, to be a reproach and a proverb, a taunt and a curse, in all places whither I shall drive them; Jer. 24:9
and I will send among them the sword, the famine, and the pestilence, until they be consumed from off the land that I gave unto them and to their fathers. Jer. 24:10
The word that came to Jeremiah concerning all the people of Judah, in the fourth year of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah, the king of Judah (that is, the first year of Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon), Jer. 25:1
which Jeremiah the prophet spoke unto all the people of Judah and to all the inhabitants of Jerusalem, saying: Jer. 25:2
From the thirteenth year of Josiah the son of Amon, the king of Judah, even unto this day, these three and twenty years, the word of Jehovah hath come unto me, and I have spoken unto you, rising early and speaking; but ye have not hearkened. Jer. 25:3
And Jehovah hath sent unto you all his servants the prophets, rising early and sending; but ye have not hearkened, nor inclined your ear to hear, Jer. 25:4
when they said, Turn again now every one from his evil way, and from the wickedness of your doings, and dwell in the land that Jehovah hath given unto you and to your fathers from of old even for ever. Jer. 25:5
And go not after other gods, to serve them and to worship them; and provoke me not to anger with the work of your hands; and I will do you no hurt. Jer. 25:6
But ye have not hearkened unto me, saith Jehovah; that ye might provoke me to anger with the work of your hands, to your own hurt. Jer. 25:7
behold, I will send and take all the families of the north, saith Jehovah, and I will send to Nebuchadrezzar the king of Babylon, my servant, and will bring them against this land, and against the inhabitants thereof, and against all these nations round about; and I will utterly destroy them, and make them an astonishment, and a hissing, and perpetual wastes. Jer. 25:9
And I will cause to perish from them the voice of mirth and the voice of joy, the voice of the bridegroom and the voice of the bride, the sound of the millstones and the light of the lamp. Jer. 25:10
And this whole land shall become a waste, an astonishment; and these nations shall serve the king of Babylon seventy years. Jer. 25:11
And it shall come to pass, when seventy years are accomplished, that I will visit on the king of Babylon and on that nation, saith Jehovah, their iniquity, and on the land of the Chaldeans, and I will make it perpetual desolations. Jer. 25:12
And I will bring upon that land all my words which I have pronounced against it, all that is written in this book, which Jeremiah hath prophesied against all the nations. Jer. 25:13
For many nations and great kings shall serve themselves of them also; and I will recompense them according to their deeds, and according to the work of their hands. Jer. 25:14
For thus hath Jehovah the God of Israel said unto me: Take the cup of the wine of this fury at my hand, and cause all the nations to whom I send thee to drink it. Jer. 25:15
And they shall drink, and reel to and fro, and be mad, because of the sword that I will send among them. Jer. 25:16
And I took the cup at Jehovah's hand, and made all the nations to drink, to whom Jehovah had sent me: Jer. 25:17
Jerusalem, and the cities of Judah, and the kings thereof, and the princes thereof, to make them a waste, an astonishment, a hissing, and a curse, as it is this day; Jer. 25:18
and all the mingled people, and all the kings of the land of Uz, and all the kings of the land of the Philistines, and Ashkelon, and Gazah, and Ekron, and the remnant of Ashdod; Jer. 25:20
Edom, and Moab, and the children of Ammon; Jer. 25:21
and all the kings of Tyre, and all the kings of Zidon, and the kings of the isles that are beyond the sea; Jer. 25:22
Dedan, and Tema, and Buz, and all that have the corners of their beard cut off; Jer. 25:23
and all the kings of Arabia, and all the kings of the mingled people that dwell in the desert; Jer. 25:24
and all the kings of Zimri, and all the kings of Elam, and all the kings of the Medes; Jer. 25:25
and all the kings of the north, far and near, one with another; and all the kingdoms of the world, which are upon the face of the earth; and the king of Sheshach shall drink after them. Jer. 25:26
And thou shalt say unto them, Thus saith Jehovah of hosts, the God of Israel: Drink, and be drunken, and vomit, and fall, and rise no more, because of the sword that I will send among you. Jer. 25:27
And it shall be, if they refuse to take the cup from thy hand to drink, then shalt thou say unto them, Thus saith Jehovah of hosts: Ye shall certainly drink. Jer. 25:28
For behold, I begin to bring evil on the city that is called by my name, and should ye be altogether unpunished? Ye shall not be unpunished; for I call for a sword upon all the inhabitants of the earth, saith Jehovah of hosts. Jer. 25:29
And thou, prophesy unto them all these words, and say unto them, Jehovah will roar from on high, and utter his voice from his holy habitation; he will mightily roar upon his dwelling-place, he will give a shout, as they that tread the vintage, against all the inhabitants of the earth. Jer. 25:30
The noise shall come to the end of the earth: for Jehovah hath a controversy with the nations, he entereth into judgment with all flesh; as for the wicked, he will give them up to the sword, saith Jehovah. Jer. 25:31
Thus saith Jehovah of hosts: Behold, evil shall go forth from nation to nation, and a great storm shall be raised up from the uttermost parts of the earth. Jer. 25:32
And the slain of Jehovah shall be at that day from one end of the earth even unto the other end of the earth: they shall not be lamented, neither gathered, nor buried; they shall be dung upon the face of the ground. Jer. 25:33
Howl, ye shepherds, and cry; and wallow yourselves in the dust, noble ones of the flock: for the days of your slaughter are accomplished, and I will disperse you; and ye shall fall like a precious vessel. Jer. 25:34
And refuge shall perish from the shepherds, and escape from the noble ones of the flock. Jer. 25:35
There shall be a voice of the cry of the shepherds, and a howling of the noble ones of the flock: for Jehovah layeth waste their pasture; Jer. 25:36
and the peaceable enclosures shall be desolated, because of the fierce anger of Jehovah. Jer. 25:37
He hath forsaken his covert as a young lion; for their land is a desolation because of the fierceness of the oppressor, and because of his fierce anger. Jer. 25:38
In the beginning of the reign of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah, the king of Judah, came this word from Jehovah, saying, Jer. 26:1
Thus saith Jehovah: Stand in the court of Jehovah's house, and speak unto all the cities of Judah, which come to worship in Jehovah's house, all the words that I command thee to speak unto them: diminish not a word. Jer. 26:2
Peradventure they will hearken, and turn every man from his evil way, that I may repent me of the evil which I purpose to do unto them because of the wickedness of their doings. Jer. 26:3
to hearken unto the words of my servants the prophets, whom I have sent unto you, even rising early and sending them, but ye have not hearkened, Jer. 26:5
-- then will I make this house like Shiloh, and will make this city a curse to all the nations of the earth. Jer. 26:6
And the priests and the prophets and all the people heard Jeremiah speaking these words in the house of Jehovah. Jer. 26:7
And it came to pass when Jeremiah had ended speaking all that Jehovah had commanded him to speak unto all the people, that the priests and the prophets and all the people seized him, saying, Thou shalt certainly die. Jer. 26:8
Why hast thou prophesied in the name of Jehovah, saying, This house shall be like Shiloh, and this city shall be desolate, without inhabitant? And all the people were gathered against Jeremiah in the house of Jehovah. Jer. 26:9
And the princes of Judah heard these things; and they went up from the king's house unto the house of Jehovah, and sat in the entry of the new gate of Jehovah. Jer. 26:10
And the priests and the prophets spoke unto the princes and to all the people, saying, This man is worthy to die, for he hath prophesied against this city, as ye have heard with your ears. Jer. 26:11
And Jeremiah spoke to all the princes and to all the people, saying, Jehovah sent me to prophesy against this house and against this city all the words that ye have heard. Jer. 26:12
And now, amend your ways and your doings, and hearken to the voice of Jehovah your God; and Jehovah will repent him of the evil that he hath pronounced against you. Jer. 26:13
only know for certain that if ye put me to death, ye shall surely bring innocent blood upon yourselves, and upon this city, and upon the inhabitants thereof; for of a truth Jehovah hath sent me unto you to speak all these words in your ears. Jer. 26:15
And the princes and all the people said unto the priests and to the prophets, This man is not worthy to die; for he hath spoken to us in the name of Jehovah our God. Jer. 26:16
And there rose up certain of the elders of the land and spoke to all the congregation of the people, saying, Jer. 26:17
Micah the Morasthite prophesied in the days of Hezekiah king of Judah, and spoke to all the people of Judah, saying, Thus saith Jehovah of hosts: Zion shall be ploughed as a field, and Jerusalem shall become heaps, and the mountain of the house as the high places of a forest. Jer. 26:18
Did Hezekiah king of Judah and all Judah put him at all to death? Did he not fear Jehovah, and supplicate Jehovah, and Jehovah repented him of the evil that he had pronounced against them? And we should be doing a great evil against our souls. Jer. 26:19
And there was also a man that prophesied in the name of Jehovah, Urijah the son of Shemaiah of Kirjath-jearim: and he prophesied against this city and against this land according to all the words of Jeremiah; Jer. 26:20
and Jehoiakim the king, and all his mighty men, and all the princes, heard his words, and the king sought to put him to death; but Urijah heard it, and he was afraid, and fled, and went into Egypt. Jer. 26:21
And Jehoiakim the king sent men into Egypt, Elnathan the son of Achbor, and men with him, into Egypt; Jer. 26:22
and they fetched forth Urijah out of Egypt, and brought him to Jehoiakim the king; and he slew him with the sword, and cast his dead body into the graves of the children of the people. Jer. 26:23
-- Nevertheless the hand of Ahikam the son of Shaphan was with Jeremiah, that they should not give him into the hand of the people to put him to death. Jer. 26:24
In the beginning of the reign of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah, the king of Judah, came this word to Jeremiah from Jehovah, saying, Jer. 27:1
and send them to the king of Edom, and to the king of Moab, and to the king of the children of Ammon, and to the king of Tyre, and to the king of Zidon, by the hand of the messengers that come to Jerusalem unto Zedekiah king of Judah. Jer. 27:3
And give them a charge unto their masters, saying, Thus saith Jehovah of hosts, the God of Israel: Thus shall ye say unto your masters: Jer. 27:4
I have made the earth, man and beast that are upon the face of the earth, by my great power and by my outstretched arm; and I give them unto whom it seemeth right in mine eyes. Jer. 27:5
And now have I given all these lands into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, my servant; and the beasts of the field also have I given him to serve him. Jer. 27:6
And all the nations shall serve him, and his son, and his son's son, until the time of his land also come, when many nations and great kings shall reduce him to servitude. Jer. 27:7
And it shall come to pass, that the nation and kingdom which will not serve the same Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, and that will not put their neck under the yoke of the king of Babylon, that nation will I visit, saith Jehovah, with the sword, and with the famine, and with the pestilence, until I have consumed them by his hand. Jer. 27:8
And ye, hearken not to your prophets, nor to your diviners, nor to your dreamers, nor to your soothsayers, nor to your sorcerers, who speak unto you saying: Ye shall not serve the king of Babylon. Jer. 27:9
But the nation that bringeth its neck under the yoke of the king of Babylon and serveth him, will I let remain still in its own land, saith Jehovah; and they shall till it, and dwell therein. Jer. 27:11
And I spoke to Zedekiah king of Judah according to all these words, saying, bring your necks under the yoke of the king of Babylon, and serve him and his people, and live. Jer. 27:12
Why will ye die, thou and thy people, by the sword, by the famine, and by the pestilence, as Jehovah hath spoken concerning the nation that will not serve the king of Babylon? Jer. 27:13
And hearken not unto the words of the prophets that speak unto you, saying, Ye shall not serve the king of Babylon; for they prophesy falsehood unto you. Jer. 27:14
For I have not sent them, saith Jehovah, yet they prophesy falsely in my name; in order that I should drive you out, and that ye should perish, ye, and the prophets who prophesy unto you. Jer. 27:15
And I spoke to the priests and to all this people, saying, Thus saith Jehovah: Hearken not to the words of your prophets that prophesy unto you, saying, Behold, the vessels of Jehovah's house shall now shortly be brought again from Babylon; for they prophesy falsehood unto you. Jer. 27:16
Hearken not unto them; serve the king of Babylon, and live: wherefore should this city become a waste? Jer. 27:17
But if they be prophets, and if the word of Jehovah be with them, let them now make intercession to Jehovah of hosts, that the vessels which are left in the house of Jehovah, and in the house of the king of Judah, and at Jerusalem, go not to Babylon. Jer. 27:18
For thus saith Jehovah of hosts concerning the pillars, and concerning the sea, and concerning the bases, and concerning the rest of the vessels that are left in this city, Jer. 27:19
which Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon took not, when he carried away captive Jeconiah the son of Jehoiakim, the king of Judah, from Jerusalem to Babylon, along with all the nobles of Judah and Jerusalem; Jer. 27:20
yea, thus saith Jehovah of hosts, the God of Israel, concerning the vessels that are left in the house of Jehovah, and in the house of the king of Judah, and in Jerusalem: Jer. 27:21
They shall be carried to Babylon, and there shall they be until the day of my visiting them, saith Jehovah; then I will bring them up, and restore them to this place. Jer. 27:22
And it came to pass the same year, in the beginning of the reign of Zedekiah king of Judah, in the fourth year, in the fifth month, that Hananiah the son of Azzur, the prophet, who was of Gibeon, spoke to me in the house of Jehovah, in the presence of the priests and of all the people, saying, Jer. 28:1
Thus speaketh Jehovah of hosts, the God of Israel, saying, I have broken the yoke of the king of Babylon. Jer. 28:2
Within two full years will I bring again into this place all the vessels of Jehovah's house, that Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon took away from this place, and carried to Babylon; Jer. 28:3
and I will bring again to this place Jeconiah the son of Jehoiakim, the king of Judah, with all the captives of Judah that went to Babylon, saith Jehovah: for I will break the yoke of the king of Babylon. Jer. 28:4
And the prophet Jeremiah spoke unto the prophet Hananiah in the presence of the priests, and in the presence of all the people that stood in the house of Jehovah. Jer. 28:5
And the prophet Jeremiah said, Amen, may Jehovah do so! may Jehovah perform thy words which thou hast prophesied, to bring again from Babylon, into this place, the vessels of Jehovah's house, and all them of the captivity! Jer. 28:6
Nevertheless, hear, I pray thee, this word which I speak in thine ears, and in the ears of all the people: Jer. 28:7
The prophets that have been before me and before thee of old, prophesied also concerning many countries and concerning great kingdoms, of war, and of evil, and of pestilence. Jer. 28:8
The prophet that prophesieth of peace, when the word of the prophet shall come to pass, shall be known as the prophet whom Jehovah hath really sent. Jer. 28:9
And the prophet Hananiah took the yoke from off the prophet Jeremiah's neck, and broke it. Jer. 28:10
And Hananiah spoke in the presence of all the people, saying, Thus saith Jehovah: So will I break the yoke of Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon within two full years from off the neck of all the nations. And the prophet Jeremiah went his way. Jer. 28:11
And the word of Jehovah came unto Jeremiah, after that the prophet Hananiah had broken the yoke from off the neck of the prophet Jeremiah, saying, Jer. 28:12
Go and tell Hananiah, saying, Thus saith Jehovah: Thou hast broken the yokes of wood, and thou hast made in their place yokes of iron. Jer. 28:13
For thus saith Jehovah of hosts, the God of Israel: I have put a yoke of iron upon the neck of all these nations, that they may serve Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon; and they shall serve him: and I have given him the beasts of the field also. Jer. 28:14
And the prophet Jeremiah said unto the prophet Hananiah, Hear now, Hananiah: Jehovah hath not sent thee; and thou makest this people to trust in falsehood. Jer. 28:15
Therefore thus saith Jehovah: Behold, I will cast thee from off the face of the earth: this year thou shalt die, for thou hast spoken revolt against Jehovah. Jer. 28:16
And the prophet Hananiah died in the same year in the seventh month. Jer. 28:17
And these are the words of the letter that the prophet Jeremiah sent from Jerusalem to the residue of the elders of the captivity, and to the priests, and to the prophets, and to all the people whom Nebuchadnezzar had carried away captive from Jerusalem to Babylon Jer. 29:1
(after that Jeconiah the king, and the queen, and the eunuchs, the princes of Judah and Jerusalem, and the craftsmen, and the smiths, had departed from Jerusalem); Jer. 29:2
by the hand of Elasah the son of Shaphan, and Gemariah the son of Hilkijah (whom Zedekiah king of Judah sent to Babylon, unto Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon), saying, Jer. 29:3
Thus saith Jehovah of hosts, the God of Israel, unto all the captivity, whom I have caused to be carried away from Jerusalem unto Babylon: Jer. 29:4
Build houses, and dwell in them, and plant gardens, and eat the fruit of them. Jer. 29:5
And seek the peace of the city whither I have caused you to be carried away captive, and pray unto Jehovah for it: for in the peace thereof shall ye have peace. Jer. 29:7
For thus saith Jehovah of hosts, the God of Israel: Let not your prophets that are in your midst, nor your diviners deceive you, neither hearken to your dreams, which ye like to dream. Jer. 29:8
For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith Jehovah, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you in your latter end a hope. Jer. 29:11
and I will be found of you, saith Jehovah. And I will turn your captivity, and I will gather you from all the nations, and from all the places whither I have driven you, saith Jehovah; and I will bring you again into the place whence I have caused you to be carried away captive. Jer. 29:14
yea, thus saith Jehovah concerning the king that sitteth upon the throne of David, and concerning all the people that dwell in this city, your brethren that are not gone forth with you into captivity; Jer. 29:16
thus saith Jehovah of hosts: Behold, I will send against them the sword, the famine, and the pestilence, and will make them like the vile figs, that cannot be eaten for badness. Jer. 29:17
And I will pursue them with the sword, with the famine, and with the pestilence, and will give them over to be driven hither and thither into all the kingdoms of the earth, to be an execration, and an astonishment, and a hissing, and a reproach, among all the nations whither I will drive them: Jer. 29:18
because they have not hearkened to my words, saith Jehovah, wherewith I sent unto them my servants the prophets, rising early and sending; but ye have not hearkened, saith Jehovah. Jer. 29:19
But ye, all ye of the captivity, whom I have sent from Jerusalem to Babylon, hear the word of Jehovah. Jer. 29:20
Thus saith Jehovah of hosts, the God of Israel, concerning Ahab the son of Kolaiah, and concerning Zedekiah the son of Maaseiah, who prophesy falsehood unto you in my name: Behold, I will give them into the hand of Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon, and he shall smite them before your eyes. Jer. 29:21
And of them shall be taken up a curse by all the captivity of Judah that are in Babylon, saying, Jehovah make thee like Zedekiah and like Ahab, whom the king of Babylon roasted in the fire; Jer. 29:22
And thou shalt speak to Shemaiah the Nehelamite, saying, Jer. 29:24
Thus speaketh Jehovah of hosts, the God of Israel, saying, Because thou hast sent letters in thy name unto all the people that are at Jerusalem, and to Zephaniah the son of Maaseiah the priest, and to all the priests, saying, Jer. 29:25
Jehovah hath made thee priest in the stead of Jehoiada the priest, that there should be officers in the house of Jehovah, over every madman and self-made prophet, that thou shouldest put him in the stocks and in the shackles. Jer. 29:26
Forasmuch as he hath sent unto us in Babylon, saying, It will be long; build houses, and dwell in them, and plant gardens, and eat the fruit of them. Jer. 29:28
-- And Zephaniah the priest read this letter in the ears of the prophet Jeremiah. Jer. 29:29
And the word of Jehovah came unto Jeremiah, saying, Jer. 29:30
Send to all them of the captivity, saying, Thus saith Jehovah concerning Shemaiah the Nehelamite: Because that Shemaiah hath prophesied unto you, and I sent him not, and he hath caused you to trust in falsehood; Jer. 29:31
therefore thus saith Jehovah: Behold, I will punish Shemaiah the Nehelamite, and his seed: he shall not have a man to dwell among this people; neither shall he see the good that I will do for my people, saith Jehovah; because he hath spoken revolt against Jehovah. Jer. 29:32
The word that came to Jeremiah from Jehovah, saying, Jer. 30:1
Thus speaketh Jehovah the God of Israel, saying, Write thee in a book all the words that I have spoken unto thee. Jer. 30:2
For behold, the days come, saith Jehovah, when I will turn the captivity of my people Israel and Judah, saith Jehovah; and I will cause them to return to the land that I gave to their fathers, and they shall possess it. Jer. 30:3
And these are the words that Jehovah hath spoken concerning Israel and concerning Judah; Jer. 30:4
Alas! for that day is great, so that none is like it: it is even the time of Jacob's trouble; but he shall be saved out of it. Jer. 30:7
And thou, my servant Jacob, fear not, saith Jehovah; neither be dismayed, O Israel: for behold, I will save thee from afar, and thy seed from the land of their captivity; and Jacob shall return, and shall be in rest, and at ease, and none shall make him afraid. Jer. 30:10
For I am with thee, saith Jehovah, to save thee: for I will make a full end of all the nations whither I have scattered thee; yet of thee will I not make a full end, but I will correct thee with judgment, and will not hold thee altogether guiltless. Jer. 30:11
All thy lovers have forgotten thee; they seek thee not. For I have smitten thee with the stroke of an enemy, with the chastisement of a cruel one, for the greatness of thine iniquity: thy sins are manifold. Jer. 30:14
Why criest thou because of thy bruise? thy sorrow is incurable; for the greatness of thine iniquity, because thy sins are manifold, I have done these things unto thee. Jer. 30:15
Thus saith Jehovah: Behold, I will turn the captivity of Jacob's tents, and have mercy on his habitations; and the city shall be built upon her own heap; and the palace shall be inhabited after the manner thereof. Jer. 30:18
And out of them shall proceed thanksgiving, and the voice of them that make merry: and I will multiply them, and they shall not be diminished; and I will honour them, and they shall not be small. Jer. 30:19
And their prince shall be of themselves, and their ruler shall proceed from the midst of them; and I will cause him to approach, and he shall draw near unto me. For who is this that engageth his heart to draw near unto me? saith Jehovah. Jer. 30:21
Behold, a tempest of Jehovah, fury is gone forth, a sweeping storm: it shall whirl down upon the head of the wicked. Jer. 30:23
The fierce anger of Jehovah shall not return, until he have executed, and until he have performed the purposes of his heart. At the end of the days ye shall consider it. Jer. 30:24
At that time, saith Jehovah, will I be the God of all the families of Israel, and they shall be my people. Jer. 31:1
Thus saith Jehovah: The people that were left of the sword have found grace in the wilderness, even Israel, when I go to give him rest. Jer. 31:2
I will build thee again, and thou shalt be built, O virgin of Israel! Thou shalt again be adorned with thy tambours, and shalt go forth in the dances of them that make merry. Jer. 31:4
Thou shalt again plant vineyards upon the mountains of Samaria; the planters shall plant, and shall eat the fruit. Jer. 31:5
For there shall be a day, when the watchmen upon mount Ephraim shall cry, Arise, and let us go up to Zion, unto Jehovah our God. Jer. 31:6
For thus saith Jehovah: Sing aloud with gladness for Jacob, and shout at the head of the nations; publish ye, praise ye, and say, Jehovah, save thy people, the remnant of Israel. Jer. 31:7
Behold, I bring them from the north country, and gather them from the uttermost parts of the earth; and among them the blind and the lame, the woman with child and her that travaileth with child together: a great assemblage shall they return hither. Jer. 31:8
Hear the word of Jehovah, ye nations, and declare it to the isles afar off, and say, He that scattered Israel will gather him, and keep him, as a shepherd his flock. Jer. 31:10
For Jehovah hath ransomed Jacob, and redeemed him from the hand of one stronger than he. Jer. 31:11
And they shall come and sing aloud upon the height of Zion, and shall flow together to the goodness of Jehovah, for corn, and for new wine, and for oil, and for the young of the flock and of the herd; and their soul shall be as a watered garden, and they shall not languish any more at all. Jer. 31:12
Then shall the virgin rejoice in the dance, and the young men and old together; for I will turn their mourning into gladness, and will comfort them, and make them rejoice after their sorrow. Jer. 31:13
And I will satiate the soul of the priests with fatness, and my people shall be satisfied with my goodness, saith Jehovah. Jer. 31:14
Thus saith Jehovah: A voice hath been heard in Ramah, the wail of very bitter weeping, -- Rachel weeping for her children, refusing to be comforted for her children, because they are not. Jer. 31:15
Thus saith Jehovah: Refrain thy voice from weeping, and thine eyes from tears; for there is a reward for thy work, saith Jehovah; and they shall come again from the land of the enemy. Jer. 31:16
Surely after that I was turned, I repented; and after I knew myself, I smote upon my thigh. I was ashamed, yea, even confounded, for I bear the reproach of my youth. Jer. 31:19
Set up waymarks, make for thyself signposts; set thy heart toward the highway, the way by which thou wentest: turn again, O virgin of Israel, turn again to these thy cities. Jer. 31:21
How long wilt thou wander about, thou backsliding daughter? For Jehovah hath created a new thing on the earth, a woman shall encompass a man. Jer. 31:22
Thus saith Jehovah of hosts, the God of Israel: They shall again use this speech, in the land of Judah and in the cities thereof, when I shall turn their captivity: Jehovah bless thee, O habitation of righteousness, mountain of holiness! Jer. 31:23
And therein shall dwell Judah, and all the cities thereof together, the husbandmen, and they that go about with flocks. Jer. 31:24
For I have satiated the weary soul, and every languishing soul have I replenished. Jer. 31:25
Behold, days come, saith Jehovah, that I will sow the house of Israel and the house of Judah with the seed of man and the seed of beast. Jer. 31:27
In those days they shall say no more, The fathers have eaten sour grapes, and the children's teeth are set on edge: Jer. 31:29
for every one shall die for his own iniquity; every man that eateth the sour grapes, his teeth shall be set on edge. Jer. 31:30
Behold, days come, saith Jehovah, that I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah: Jer. 31:31
not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers, in the day of my taking them by the hand, to lead them out of the land of Egypt; which my covenant they broke, although I was a husband unto them, saith Jehovah. Jer. 31:32
For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel, after those days, saith Jehovah: I will put my law in their inward parts, and will write it in their heart; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people. Jer. 31:33
And they shall teach no more every man his neighbour, and every man his brother, saying, Know Jehovah; for they shall all know me, from the least of them unto the greatest of them, saith Jehovah: for I will pardon their iniquity, and their sin will I remember no more. Jer. 31:34
Thus saith Jehovah, who giveth the sun for light by day, the ordinances of the moon and of the stars for light by night, who stirreth up the sea so that the waves thereof roar, -- Jehovah of hosts is his name: Jer. 31:35
If those ordinances depart from before me, saith Jehovah, the seed of Israel also shall cease from being a nation before me for ever. Jer. 31:36
Thus saith Jehovah: If the heavens above can be measured, and the foundations of the earth searched out beneath, I will also cast off the whole seed of Israel, for all that they have done, saith Jehovah. Jer. 31:37
Behold, the days come, saith Jehovah, that the city shall be built to Jehovah, from the tower of Hananeel unto the corner-gate. Jer. 31:38
And the measuring line shall yet go forth before it unto the hill Gareb, and shall turn toward Goath. Jer. 31:39
And the whole valley of the dead bodies, and of the ashes, and all the fields unto the torrent Kidron, unto the corner of the horse-gate toward the east, shall be holy unto Jehovah: it shall not be plucked up, nor overthrown any more for ever. Jer. 31:40
The word that came to Jeremiah from Jehovah in the tenth year of Zedekiah king of Judah: that year was the eighteenth year of Nebuchadrezzar. Jer. 32:1
And the king of Babylon's army was then besieging Jerusalem; and the prophet Jeremiah was shut up in the court of the guard, which was in the king of Judah's house. Jer. 32:2
For Zedekiah king of Judah had shut him up, saying, Why dost thou prophesy and say, Thus saith Jehovah: Behold, I give this city into the hand of the king of Babylon, and he shall take it; Jer. 32:3
and Zedekiah king of Judah shall not escape out of the hand of the Chaldeans; for he shall certainly be given into the hand of the king of Babylon, and shall speak with him mouth to mouth, and his eyes shall behold his eyes; Jer. 32:4
and he shall lead Zedekiah to Babylon, and there shall he be until I visit him, saith Jehovah: though ye fight with the Chaldeans, ye shall not prosper? Jer. 32:5
And Jeremiah said, The word of Jehovah came unto me, saying, Jer. 32:6
Behold, Hanameel, the son of Shallum thine uncle, shall come unto thee, saying, Buy for thyself my field which is in Anathoth; for thine is the right of redemption, to buy it. Jer. 32:7
And Hanameel, mine uncle's son, came to me in the court of the guard according to the word of Jehovah, and said unto me, Buy my field, I pray thee, that is in Anathoth, which is in the land of Benjamin; for the right of inheritance is thine, and the redemption is thine: buy it for thyself. Then I knew that this was the word of Jehovah. Jer. 32:8
And I bought of Hanameel, mine uncle's son, the field which is in Anathoth, and weighed him the money, seventeen shekels of silver. Jer. 32:9
And I subscribed the writing, and sealed it, and took witnesses, and weighed the money in the balances. Jer. 32:10
And I took the writing of the purchase, that which was sealed according to the law and the statutes, and that which was open; Jer. 32:11
and I gave the writing of the purchase unto Baruch the son of Nerijah, the son of Maaseiah, in the sight of Hanameel mine uncle's son, and in the presence of the witnesses that had subscribed the writing of purchase, before all the Jews that were sitting in the court of the guard. Jer. 32:12
Thus saith Jehovah of hosts, the God of Israel: Take these writings, this writing of the purchase, both that which is sealed and this writing which is open; and put them in an earthen vessel, that they may remain many days. Jer. 32:14
For thus saith Jehovah of hosts, the God of Israel: Houses and fields and vineyards shall again be purchased in this land. Jer. 32:15
And after I had given the writing of the purchase unto Baruch the son of Nerijah, I prayed unto Jehovah saying, Jer. 32:16
Alas, Lord Jehovah! Behold, thou hast made the heavens and the earth by thy great power and stretched-out arm; there is nothing too hard for thee: Jer. 32:17
who shewest mercy unto thousands, and recompensest the iniquity of the fathers into the bosom of their children after them, thou, the great, the mighty *God, -- Jehovah of hosts is his name; Jer. 32:18
great in counsel and mighty in work, whose eyes are open upon all the ways of the children of men, to give every one according to his ways, and according to the fruit of his doings: Jer. 32:19
who hast displayed signs and wonders unto this day, in the land of Egypt and in Israel and among other men; and hast made thee a name, as at this day. Jer. 32:20
And thou broughtest forth thy people Israel out of the land of Egypt by signs, and by wonders, and by a powerful hand, and by a stretched-out arm, and by great terror; Jer. 32:21
Behold the mounds, they are come unto the city for taking it; and the city is given over into the hand of the Chaldeans, that fight against it, by the sword, and the famine, and the pestilence: and what thou hast spoken is come to pass; and behold, thou seest it. Jer. 32:24
And thou, Lord Jehovah, thou hast said unto me, Buy for thyself the field for money, and take witnesses; -- and the city is given into the hand of the Chaldeans. Jer. 32:25
And the word of Jehovah came unto Jeremiah, saying, Jer. 32:26
Behold, I am Jehovah, the God of all flesh: is there anything too hard for me? Jer. 32:27
Therefore thus saith Jehovah: Behold, I give this city into the hand of the Chaldeans, and into the hand of Nebuchadrezzar the king of Babylon, and he shall take it. Jer. 32:28
And the Chaldeans, that fight against this city, shall come in and set fire to this city, and shall burn it, and the houses upon whose roofs they have offered incense unto Baal, and poured out drink-offerings unto other gods, to provoke me to anger. Jer. 32:29
For the children of Israel and the children of Judah have been doing only evil in my sight from their youth; for the children of Israel have only provoked me to anger with the work of their hands, saith Jehovah. Jer. 32:30
For this city hath been to me a provocation of mine anger and of my fury from the day that they built it even unto this day; that I should remove it from before my face, Jer. 32:31
because of all the evil of the children of Israel and of the children of Judah, which they have done to provoke me to anger, they, their kings, their princes, their priests, and their prophets, and the men of Judah, and the inhabitants of Jerusalem. Jer. 32:32
And they have turned unto me the back, and not the face; and though I taught them, rising early and teaching, they hearkened not to receive instruction. Jer. 32:33
And they have set their abominations in the house which is called by my name, to defile it; Jer. 32:34
and they have built the high places of Baal, which are in the valley of the son of Hinnom, to cause to pass through the fire their sons and their daughters unto Molech: which I commanded them not, neither came it into my mind, that they should do this abomination, to cause Judah to sin. Jer. 32:35
And now therefore Jehovah, the God of Israel, saith thus concerning this city, whereof ye say, It hath been given over into the hand of the king of Babylon by the sword, and by the famine, and by the pestilence: Jer. 32:36
Behold, I will gather them out of all the countries whither I have driven them, in mine anger, and in my fury, and in great wrath; and I will bring them again unto this place, and I will cause them to dwell safely. Jer. 32:37
And I will give them one heart, and one way, that they may fear me all their days, for the good of them, and of their children after them. Jer. 32:39
For thus saith Jehovah: Like as I have brought all this great evil upon this people, so will I bring upon them all the good that I have spoken concerning them. Jer. 32:42
And fields shall be bought in this land, whereof ye say, It is desolate without man or beast; it is given into the hand of the Chaldeans. Jer. 32:43
Men shall buy fields for money, and subscribe the writings, and seal them, and take witnesses, in the land of Benjamin, and in the environs of Jerusalem, and in the cities of Judah, and in the cities of the hill-country, and in the cities of the lowland, and in the cities of the south: for I will turn their captivity, saith Jehovah. Jer. 32:44
And the word of Jehovah came to Jeremiah the second time, while he was still shut up in the court of the prison, saying, Jer. 33:1
Thus saith Jehovah the doer of it, Jehovah that formeth it to establish it, Jehovah is his name: Jer. 33:2
For thus saith Jehovah the God of Israel concerning the houses of this city, and concerning the houses of the kings of Judah, which are thrown down because of the mounds and because of the sword: Jer. 33:4
They come to fight with the Chaldeans, but to fill them with the dead bodies of the men whom I have slain in mine anger and in my fury, and for all whose wickedness I have hid my face from this city. Jer. 33:5
And I will turn the captivity of Judah and the captivity of Israel, and will build them, as at the beginning. Jer. 33:7
And it shall be to me a name of joy, a praise and a glory before all the nations of the earth, which shall hear of all the good that I do unto them; and they shall fear and tremble for all the good and for all the prosperity that I procure unto it. Jer. 33:9
Thus saith Jehovah: In this place of which ye say, It is waste, without man and without beast! in the cities of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem that are desolate, without man, and without inhabitant, and without beast, Jer. 33:10
there shall again be heard the voice of mirth and the voice of joy, the voice of the bridegroom and the voice of the bride, the voice of them that say, Give ye thanks unto Jehovah of hosts; for Jehovah is good, for his loving-kindness endureth for ever, -- of them that bring thanksgiving unto the house of Jehovah. For I will turn the captivity of the land as in the beginning, saith Jehovah. Jer. 33:11
Thus saith Jehovah of hosts: In this place which is waste, without man and without beast, and in all the cities thereof, there shall again be a habitation of shepherds causing their flocks to lie down. Jer. 33:12
In the cities of the hill-country, in the cities of the lowland, and in the cities of the south, and in the land of Benjamin, and in the environs of Jerusalem, and in the cities of Judah, shall the flocks pass again under the hands of him that counteth them, saith Jehovah. Jer. 33:13
Behold, the days come, saith Jehovah, that I will perform the good word which I have spoken unto the house of Israel and unto the house of Judah. Jer. 33:14
In those days, and at that time, will I cause a Branch of righteousness to grow up unto David; and he shall execute judgment and righteousness in the land. Jer. 33:15
In those days shall Judah be saved, and Jerusalem shall dwell in safety. And this is the name wherewith she shall be called: Jehovah our Righteousness. Jer. 33:16
For thus saith Jehovah: There shall never fail to David a man to sit upon the throne of the house of Israel; Jer. 33:17
neither shall there fail to the priests the Levites a man before me to offer up burnt-offerings, and to burn oblations, and to do sacrifice continually. Jer. 33:18
And the word of Jehovah came to Jeremiah, saying, Jer. 33:19
Thus saith Jehovah: If ye can break my covenant in respect of the day, and my covenant in respect of the night, so that there should not be day and night in their season, Jer. 33:20
then shall also my covenant be broken with David my servant, that he should not have a son to reign upon his throne; and with the Levites, the priests, my ministers. Jer. 33:21
As the host of the heavens cannot be numbered, nor the sand of the sea measured, so will I multiply the seed of David my servant, and the Levites that minister unto me. Jer. 33:22
And the word of Jehovah came to Jeremiah, saying, Jer. 33:23
Hast thou not seen what this people have spoken, saying, The two families that Jehovah had chosen, he hath even cast them off? And they despise my people, that they should be no more a nation before them. Jer. 33:24
Thus saith Jehovah: If my covenant of day and night stand not, if I have not appointed the ordinances of the heavens and the earth, Jer. 33:25
then will I also cast away the seed of Jacob, and of David my servant, so as not to take of his seed to be rulers over the seed of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob: for I will turn their captivity, and will have mercy on them. Jer. 33:26
The word that came to Jeremiah from Jehovah, when Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, and all his army, and all the kingdoms of the earth under his dominion, and all the peoples, fought against Jerusalem and against all the cities thereof, saying, Jer. 34:1
Thus saith Jehovah, the God of Israel: Go and speak to Zedekiah king of Judah, and tell him, Thus saith Jehovah: Behold, I give this city into the hand of the king of Babylon, and he shall burn it with fire. Jer. 34:2
And thou shalt not escape out of his hand, but shalt certainly be taken, and given into his hand; and thine eyes shall behold the eyes of the king of Babylon, and his mouth shall speak with thy mouth, and thou shalt go to Babylon. Jer. 34:3
Only, hear the word of Jehovah, O Zedekiah king of Judah. Thus saith Jehovah as to thee: Thou shalt not die by the sword; Jer. 34:4
thou shalt die in peace, and with the burnings of thy fathers, the former kings that were before thee, so shall they burn for thee; and they will lament for thee, Ah, lord! for I have spoken the word, saith Jehovah. Jer. 34:5
And the prophet Jeremiah spoke all these words unto Zedekiah king of Judah, in Jerusalem. Jer. 34:6
And the king of Babylon's army fought against Jerusalem, and against all the cities of Judah that were left, against Lachish, and against Azekah; for these were amongst the cities of Judah, the fenced cities that were left. Jer. 34:7
The word that came unto Jeremiah from Jehovah, after that king Zedekiah had made a covenant with all the people that were at Jerusalem, to proclaim liberty unto them: Jer. 34:8
that every man should let his bondman, and every man his bondmaid, the Hebrew and the Hebrewess, go free, that none should exact service of them, that is, of a Jew his brother. Jer. 34:9
And all the princes and all the people that had entered into the covenant obeyed, every man letting his bondman and every man his bondmaid go free, that none should exact service of them any more: they obeyed, and let them go. Jer. 34:10
But afterwards they turned, and caused the bondmen and the bondmaids whom they had let go free, to return, and brought them into subjection for bondmen and for bondmaids. Jer. 34:11
And the word of Jehovah came to Jeremiah from Jehovah, saying, Jer. 34:12
Thus saith Jehovah the God of Israel: I made a covenant with your fathers in the day that I brought them forth out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage, saying, Jer. 34:13
At the end of seven years ye shall let go every man his brother, a Hebrew, who hath sold himself unto thee; when he hath served thee six years, thou shalt let him go free from thee. But your fathers hearkened not unto me, neither inclined their ear. Jer. 34:14
And you, ye had this day turned, and had done right in my sight, in proclaiming liberty every man to his neighbour; and ye had made a covenant before me in the house which is called by my name: Jer. 34:15
Therefore thus saith Jehovah: Ye have not hearkened unto me, in proclaiming liberty, every man to his brother, and every man to his neighbour: behold, I proclaim a liberty for you, saith Jehovah, to the sword, to the pestilence, and to the famine; and I will give you over to be driven hither and thither among all the kingdoms of the earth. Jer. 34:17
And I will give the men that have transgressed my covenant, who have not performed the words of the covenant which they had made before me, -- the calf which they cut in twain, and passed between the parts thereof, Jer. 34:18
-- the princes of Judah and the princes of Jerusalem, the eunuchs, and the priests, and all the people of the land, that passed between the parts of the calf; Jer. 34:19
them will I give into the hand of their enemies and into the hand of them that seek their life; and their carcases shall be food for the fowl of the heavens and for the beasts of the earth. Jer. 34:20
And Zedekiah king of Judah and his princes will I give into the hand of their enemies, and into the hand of them that seek their life, and into the hand of the king of Babylon's army, which are gone up from you. Jer. 34:21
Behold, I command, saith Jehovah, and I will cause them to return to this city; and they shall fight against it, and take it, and burn it with fire; and I will make the cities of Judah a desolation, without inhabitant. Jer. 34:22
The word that came to Jeremiah from Jehovah in the days of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah, the king of Judah, saying, Jer. 35:1
Go to the house of the Rechabites, and speak with them, and bring them into the house of Jehovah, into one of the chambers, and give them wine to drink. Jer. 35:2
And I took Jaazaniah the son of Jeremiah, the son of Habazziniah, and his brethren, and all his sons, and the whole house of the Rechabites, Jer. 35:3
and I brought them into the house of Jehovah, into the chamber of the sons of Hanan the son of Igdaliah, the man of God, which was by the chamber of the princes, which was above the chamber of Maaseiah the son of Shallum, the keeper of the threshold. Jer. 35:4
And I set before the sons of the house of the Rechabites bowls full of wine, and cups, and I said unto them, Drink wine. Jer. 35:5
And they said, We will drink no wine; for Jonadab the son of Rechab our father commanded us, saying, Ye shall drink no wine, ye nor your sons for ever; Jer. 35:6
neither shall ye build house, nor sow seed, nor plant vineyard, nor shall ye have any; but all your days ye shall dwell in tents, that ye may live many days in the land where ye sojourn. Jer. 35:7
And we have hearkened unto the voice of Jonadab the son of Rechab our father in all that he commanded us, to drink no wine all our days, we, our wives, our sons, and our daughters, Jer. 35:8
And it came to pass when Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon came up into the land, that we said, Come and let us go into Jerusalem because of the army of the Chaldeans, and because of the army of Syria; and we dwell at Jerusalem. Jer. 35:11
And the word of Jehovah came unto Jeremiah, saying, Jer. 35:12
Thus saith Jehovah of hosts, the God of Israel: Go and say to the men of Judah and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem, Will ye not receive instruction to hearken unto my words? saith Jehovah. Jer. 35:13
The words of Jonadab the son of Rechab, that he commanded his sons not to drink wine, are performed; and to this day they have drunk none, for they have obeyed their father's commandment. But I have spoken unto you, rising early and speaking, and ye have not hearkened unto me. Jer. 35:14
And I have sent unto you all my servants the prophets, rising early and sending, saying, Return ye now every man from his evil way, and amend your doings, and go not after other gods to serve them; and ye shall dwell in the land that I have given to you and to your fathers: but ye have not inclined your ear nor hearkened unto me. Jer. 35:15
Yea, the sons of Jonadab the son of Rechab have performed the commandment of their father which he commanded them, but this people hath not hearkened unto me; Jer. 35:16
therefore thus saith Jehovah the God of hosts, the God of Israel: Behold, I will bring upon Judah and upon all the inhabitants of Jerusalem all the evil that I have pronounced against them, because I have spoken unto them, but they have not hearkened, and I have called unto them, but they have not answered. Jer. 35:17
And Jeremiah said unto the house of the Rechabites, Thus saith Jehovah of hosts, the God of Israel: Because ye have obeyed the commandment of Jonadab your father, and kept all his injunctions, and have done according unto all that he hath commanded you; Jer. 35:18
therefore thus saith Jehovah of hosts, the God of Israel, There shall not fail to Jonadab the son of Rechab a man to stand before me, for ever. Jer. 35:19
And it came to pass in the fourth year of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah, the king of Judah, that this word came to Jeremiah from Jehovah, saying, Jer. 36:1
Take thee a roll of a book, and write therein all the words that I have spoken unto thee against Israel, and against Judah, and against all the nations, from the day I spoke unto thee, from the days of Josiah, even unto this day. Jer. 36:2
It may be the house of Judah will hear all the evil that I purpose to do unto them, that they may return every man from his evil way, and that I may forgive their iniquity and their sin. Jer. 36:3
And Jeremiah called Baruch the son of Nerijah; and Baruch wrote from the mouth of Jeremiah all the words of Jehovah, which he had spoken unto him, upon a roll of a book. Jer. 36:4
And Jeremiah commanded Baruch, saying, I am shut up, I cannot go into the house of Jehovah; but go thou in, Jer. 36:5
and read in the roll, which thou hast written from my mouth, the words of Jehovah in the ears of the people in the house of Jehovah upon the fast day; and thou shalt also read them in the ears of all Judah that come from their cities. Jer. 36:6
It may be they will present their supplication before Jehovah, and that they will return every one from his evil way; for great is the anger and the fury that Jehovah hath pronounced against this people. Jer. 36:7
And Baruch the son of Nerijah did according to all that the prophet Jeremiah commanded him, reading in the book the words of Jehovah in Jehovah's house. Jer. 36:8
And it came to pass in the fifth year of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah, the king of Judah, in the ninth month, that they proclaimed a fast before Jehovah, for all the people in Jerusalem, and for all the people that came from the cities of Judah to Jerusalem. Jer. 36:9
And Baruch read in the book the words of Jeremiah in the house of Jehovah, in the chamber of Gemariah the son of Shaphan the scribe, in the upper court, at the entry of the new gate of the house of Jehovah, in the ears of all the people. Jer. 36:10
And Micah the son of Gemariah the son of Shaphan heard out of the book all the words of Jehovah; Jer. 36:11
and he went down to the king's house, into the scribe's chamber, and behold, all the princes were sitting there: Elishama the scribe, and Delaiah the son of Shemaiah, and Elnathan the son of Achbor, and Gemariah the son of Shaphan, and Zedekiah the son of Hananiah, and all the princes. Jer. 36:12
And Micah declared unto them all the words that he had heard, when Baruch read in the book in the ears of the people. Jer. 36:13
And all the princes sent Jehudi the son of Nethaniah, the son of Shelemiah, the son of Cushi, unto Baruch, saying, Take in thy hand the roll in which thou hast read in the ears of the people, and come. And Baruch the son of Nerijah took the roll in his hand, and came unto them. Jer. 36:14
And it came to pass, when they heard all the words, they turned in fear one toward another, and said unto Baruch, We will certainly report to the king all these words. Jer. 36:16
And Baruch said unto them, He pronounced all these words unto me with his mouth, and I wrote them with ink in the book. Jer. 36:18
And the princes said unto Baruch, Go, hide thee, thou and Jeremiah; that none may know where ye are. Jer. 36:19
And they went in unto the king into the court, but they laid up the roll in the chamber of Elishama the scribe; and they told all the words in the ears of the king. Jer. 36:20
And the king sent Jehudi to fetch the roll, and he fetched it out of the chamber of Elishama the scribe. And Jehudi read it in the ears of the king, and in the ears of all the princes that stood beside the king. Jer. 36:21
Now the king was sitting in the winter-house in the ninth month, and with the fire-pan burning before him. Jer. 36:22
And it came to pass, that when Jehudi had read three or four columns, he cut it with the scribe's knife, and cast it into the fire that was in the pan until all the roll was consumed in the fire that was in the pan. Jer. 36:23
And they were not afraid, nor rent their garments, neither the king nor any of his servants that heard all these words. Jer. 36:24
Moreover, Elnathan and Delaiah and Gemariah had made intercession to the king that he would not burn the roll; but he would not hear them. Jer. 36:25
And the king commanded Jerahmeel the son of Hammelech, and Seraiah the son of Azriel, and Shelemiah the son of Abdeel, to take Baruch the scribe and Jeremiah the prophet; but Jehovah hid them. Jer. 36:26
And after that the king had burned the roll, and the words that Baruch wrote at the mouth of Jeremiah, the word of Jehovah came to Jeremiah, saying, Jer. 36:27
Take thee again another roll, and write in it all the former words that were in the first roll which Jehoiakim the king of Judah hath burned. Jer. 36:28
And thou shalt say to Jehoiakim king of Judah, Thus saith Jehovah: Thou hast burned this roll, saying, Why hast thou written therein, saying, The king of Babylon shall certainly come and destroy this land, and shall cause to cease from it man and beast? Jer. 36:29
Therefore thus saith Jehovah concerning Jehoiakim king of Judah: He shall have none to sit upon the throne of David; and his dead body shall be cast out in the day to the heat, and in the night to the frost. Jer. 36:30
And I will visit their iniquity upon him, and upon his seed, and upon his servants; and I will bring upon them, and upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and upon the men of Judah, all the evil that I have pronounced against them; and they have not hearkened. Jer. 36:31
And Jeremiah took another roll, and gave it to Baruch the scribe, the son of Nerijah; and he wrote therein from the mouth of Jeremiah, all the words of the book that Jehoiakim king of Judah had burned in the fire; and there were added besides unto them many like words. Jer. 36:32
And king Zedekiah the son of Josiah reigned instead of Coniah the son of Jehoiakim, Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon having made him king in the land of Judah. Jer. 37:1
And neither he, nor his servants, nor the people of the land, hearkened unto the words of Jehovah, which he had spoken through the prophet Jeremiah. Jer. 37:2
And Zedekiah the king sent Jehucal the son of Shelemiah, and Zephaniah the son of Maaseiah the priest to the prophet Jeremiah, saying, Pray now unto Jehovah our God for us. Jer. 37:3
And Jeremiah came in and went out among the people; for they had not put him into prison. Jer. 37:4
And Pharaoh's army was come forth out of Egypt; and when the Chaldeans that besieged Jerusalem heard tidings of them, they went up from Jerusalem. Jer. 37:5
And the word of Jehovah came unto Jeremiah the prophet, saying, Jer. 37:6
Thus saith Jehovah the God of Israel: Thus shall ye say to the king of Judah, that sent you unto me to inquire of me: Behold, Pharaoh's army, which is come forth to help you, shall return to Egypt into their own land. Jer. 37:7
And the Chaldeans shall come again, and fight against this city, and take it, and burn it with fire. Jer. 37:8
Thus saith Jehovah: Deceive not yourselves, saying, The Chaldeans are certainly gone away from us; for they are not gone. Jer. 37:9
For though ye had smitten the whole army of the Chaldeans that fight against you, and there remained but wounded men among them, yet should they rise up every man in his tent, and burn this city with fire. Jer. 37:10
And it came to pass when the army of the Chaldeans was gone up from Jerusalem because of Pharaoh's army, Jer. 37:11
that Jeremiah went forth out of Jerusalem to go into the land of Benjamin, to have his portion there among the people. Jer. 37:12
And when he was in the gate of Benjamin, a captain of the guard was there whose name was Irijah, the son of Shelemiah, the son of Hananiah; and he laid hold on the prophet Jeremiah, saying, Thou art deserting to the Chaldeans. Jer. 37:13
And Jeremiah said, It is false: I am not deserting to the Chaldeans. But he hearkened not to him; and Irijah laid hold on Jeremiah, and brought him to the princes. Jer. 37:14
And the princes were wroth with Jeremiah, and smote him, and put him in the place of confinement in the house of Jonathan the scribe: for they had made that the prison. Jer. 37:15
When Jeremiah was come into the dungeon and into the vaults, and Jeremiah had remained there many days, Jer. 37:16
king Zedekiah sent and took him out. And the king asked of him secretly in his house, and said, Is there any word from Jehovah? And Jeremiah said, There is; and he said, Thou shalt be given into the hand of the king of Babylon. Jer. 37:17
And Jeremiah said unto king Zedekiah, What have I offended against thee, or against thy servants, or against this people, that ye have put me in the prison? Jer. 37:18
And where are your prophets that prophesied unto you, saying, The king of Babylon shall not come against you, nor against this land? Jer. 37:19
And now hear, I pray thee, my lord, O king: let my supplication, I pray thee, come before thee; and cause me not to return into the house of Jonathan the scribe, lest I die there. Jer. 37:20
Then Zedekiah the king commanded, and they committed Jeremiah into the court of the guard, and they gave him daily a loaf of bread out of the bakers' street, until all the bread in the city was spent. And Jeremiah abode in the court of the guard. Jer. 37:21
And Shephatiah the son of Mattan, and Gedaliah the son of Pashur, and Jucal the son of Shelemiah, and Pashur the son of Malchijah, heard the words that Jeremiah had spoken unto all the people, saying, Jer. 38:1
Thus saith Jehovah: He that remaineth in this city shall die by the sword, by the famine, and by the pestilence; but he that goeth forth to the Chaldeans shall live; and he shall have his life for a prey, and shall live. Jer. 38:2
Thus saith Jehovah: This city shall certainly be given into the hand of the king of Babylon's army, and he shall take it. Jer. 38:3
And the princes said unto the king, Let this man, we pray thee, be put to death; for why should he weaken the hands of the men of war that remain in this city, and the hands of all the people, in speaking to them according to these words? for this man seeketh not the welfare of this people, but the hurt. Jer. 38:4
And king Zedekiah said, Behold, he is in your hand; for the king is not he that can do a thing against you. Jer. 38:5
Then they took Jeremiah, and cast him into the dungeon of Malchijah the son of Hammelech, which was in the court of the guard, and they let down Jeremiah with cords. And in the dungeon there was no water, but mire; and Jeremiah sank in the mire. Jer. 38:6
And Ebed-melech the Ethiopian, a eunuch who was in the king's house, heard that they had put Jeremiah in the dungeon -- now the king was sitting in the gate of Benjamin, Jer. 38:7
-- and Ebed-melech went forth out of the king's house, and spoke to the king, saying, Jer. 38:8
My lord, O king, these men have done evil in all that they have done to the prophet Jeremiah, whom they have cast into the dungeon; and he will die by reason of the famine in the place where he is; for there is no more bread in the city. Jer. 38:9
And the king commanded Ebed-melech the Ethiopian, saying, Take from hence thirty men with thee, and take up Jeremiah the prophet out of the dungeon, before he die. Jer. 38:10
And Ebed-melech took the men under his order, and went into the house of the king under the treasury, and took thence old shreds and worn-out clothes, and let them down by cords into the dungeon to Jeremiah. Jer. 38:11
And Ebed-melech the Ethiopian said to Jeremiah, Put, I pray, these old shreds and rags under thine armholes under the cords. And Jeremiah did so. Jer. 38:12
And they drew up Jeremiah with cords, and brought him up out of the dungeon; and Jeremiah remained in the court of the guard. Jer. 38:13
And king Zedekiah sent and took the prophet Jeremiah unto him, into the third entry that is in the house of Jehovah; and the king said unto Jeremiah, I will ask thee a thing: hide nothing from me. Jer. 38:14
And king Zedekiah swore secretly unto Jeremiah, saying, As Jehovah liveth, that made us this soul, I will not put thee to death, neither will I give thee into the hand of these men that seek thy life. Jer. 38:16
And Jeremiah said unto Zedekiah, Thus saith Jehovah the God of hosts, the God of Israel: If thou wilt freely go forth to the king of Babylon's princes, then thy soul shall live, and this city shall not be burned with fire; and thou shalt live, and thy house. Jer. 38:17
But if thou wilt not go forth to the king of Babylon's princes, then shall this city be given into the hand of the Chaldeans, and they shall burn it with fire, and thou shalt not escape out of their hand. Jer. 38:18
And king Zedekiah said unto Jeremiah, I am afraid of the Jews that have deserted to the Chaldeans, lest they give me over into their hand, and they mock me. Jer. 38:19
And Jeremiah said, They shall not give thee over. Hearken, I beseech thee, unto the voice of Jehovah, in that which I speak unto thee; so shall it be well unto thee, and thy soul shall live. Jer. 38:20
But if thou refuse to go forth, this is the word which Jehovah hath shewn me: Jer. 38:21
Behold, all the women that are left in the king of Judah's house shall be brought forth to the king of Babylon's princes; and they shall say, Thy familiar friends have set thee on, and have prevailed over thee; thy feet are sunk in the mire, they are turned away back. Jer. 38:22
And they shall bring out all thy wives and thy children to the Chaldeans, and thou shalt not escape out of their hand; for thou shalt be taken by the hand of the king of Babylon, and thou shalt cause this city to be burned with fire. Jer. 38:23
And if the princes hear that I have talked with thee, and they come unto thee, and say unto thee, Declare unto us now what thou hast said unto the king, hide it not from us, and we will not put thee to death; and what hath the king said unto thee? Jer. 38:25
then thou shalt say unto them, I presented my supplication before the king, that he would not cause me to return to Jonathan's house, to die there. Jer. 38:26
-- And all the princes came to Jeremiah, and asked him; and he told them according to all these words that the king had commanded. And they withdrew quietly from him; for the matter was not reported. Jer. 38:27
And Jeremiah remained in the court of the guard until the day that Jerusalem was taken. Jer. 38:28
* And it came to pass when Jerusalem was taken, in the ninth year of Zedekiah king of Judah, in the tenth month, came Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon and all his army against Jerusalem, and they besieged it. Jer. 39:1
In the eleventh year of Zedekiah, in the fourth month, on the ninth of the month, the city was broken into; Jer. 39:2
and all the princes of the king of Babylon came in, and sat in the middle gate: Nergal-sharezer, Samgar-nebu, Sarsechim, chief chamberlain, Nergal-sharezer, chief magian, and all the rest of the princes of the king of Babylon. Jer. 39:3
And it came to pass when Zedekiah the king of Judah and all the men of war saw them, that they fled, and went forth out of the city by night, by the way of the king's garden, by the gate between the two walls; and he went out the way of the plain. Jer. 39:4
And the army of the Chaldeans pursued after them, and overtook Zedekiah in the plains of Jericho; and they took him, and brought him up to Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, unto Riblah in the land of Hamath; and he pronounced judgment upon him. Jer. 39:5
And the king of Babylon slaughtered the sons of Zedekiah in Riblah before his eyes, and the king of Babylon slaughtered all the nobles of Judah; Jer. 39:6
and he put out the eyes of Zedekiah, and bound him with chains of brass, to carry him to Babylon. Jer. 39:7
And the Chaldeans burned the king's house and the houses of the people with fire, and broke down the walls of Jerusalem. Jer. 39:8
And Nebuzar-adan the captain of the body-guard carried away captive into Babylon the rest of the people that were left in the city, and the deserters that had deserted to him, with the rest of the people that were left. Jer. 39:9
But Nebuzar-adan the captain of the body-guard left certain of the people, the poor who had nothing, in the land of Judah, and gave them vineyards and fields at the same time. Jer. 39:10
And Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon had given charge concerning Jeremiah by Nebuzar-adan the captain of the body-guard, saying, Jer. 39:11
So Nebuzar-adan the captain of the body-guard sent, and Nebushazban, chief chamberlain, and Nergal-sharezer, chief magian, and all the king of Babylon's princes, Jer. 39:13
even they sent, and took Jeremiah out of the court of the guard and committed him to Gedaliah the son of Ahikam the son of Shaphan, that he should conduct him away home. And he dwelt among the people. Jer. 39:14
And the word of Jehovah came unto Jeremiah, while he was shut up in the court of the guard, saying, Jer. 39:15
Go and speak to Ebed-melech the Ethiopian, saying, Thus saith Jehovah of hosts, the God of Israel: Behold, I will bring my words upon this city for evil, and not for good, and they shall come to pass before thy face in that day. Jer. 39:16
And I will deliver thee in that day, saith Jehovah; and thou shalt not be given into the hand of the men of whom thou art afraid; Jer. 39:17
for I will certainly save thee, and thou shalt not fall by the sword, but thou shalt have thy life for a prey; for thou hast put thy confidence in me, saith Jehovah. Jer. 39:18
The word that came to Jeremiah from Jehovah, after that Nebuzar-adan the captain of the body-guard had let him go from Ramah, when he had taken him, being bound in chains, among all the captivity of Jerusalem and Judah, that were carried away captive to Babylon. Jer. 40:1
And the captain of the body-guard took Jeremiah, and said unto him, Jehovah thy God pronounced this evil upon this place, Jer. 40:2
And now, behold, I loose thee this day from the chains that are upon thy hand. If it seem good in thy sight to come with me to Babylon, come, and I will keep mine eye upon thee; but if it seem ill unto thee to come with me to Babylon, forbear. See, all the land is before thee: whither it seemeth good and right in thy sight to go, thither go. Jer. 40:4
And while he had not yet given answer; he said, Yea, go back to Gedaliah the son of Ahikam the son of Shaphan, whom the king of Babylon hath appointed over the cities of Judah, and abide with him in the midst of the people; or go wheresoever it seemeth right in thy sight to go. And the captain of the body-guard gave him provisions and a present, and let him go. Jer. 40:5
And Jeremiah came unto Gedaliah the son of Ahikam to Mizpah, and abode with him among the people that remained in the land. Jer. 40:6
And all the captains of the forces that were in the fields, they and their men, heard that the king of Babylon had appointed Gedaliah the son of Ahikam over the land, and had committed unto him men, and women, and children, and of the poor of the land, of them that had not been carried away captive to Babylon. Jer. 40:7
And they came to Gedaliah to Mizpah; even Ishmael the son of Nethaniah, and Johanan and Jonathan the sons of Kareah, and Seraiah the son of Tanhumeth, and the sons of Ephai the Netophathite, and Jezaniah the son of a Maachathite, they and their men. Jer. 40:8
And Gedaliah the son of Ahikam the son of Shaphan swore unto them and to their men, saying, Fear not to serve the Chaldeans: dwell in the land, and serve the king of Babylon, and it shall be well with you. Jer. 40:9
And as for me, behold, I dwell at Mizpah, to stand before the Chaldeans, who will come unto us; and ye, gather wine, and summer fruits, and oil, and put them in your vessels, and dwell in your cities which ye have taken. Jer. 40:10
Likewise all the Jews that were in Moab, and among the children of Ammon and in Edom, and that were in all the lands, heard that the king of Babylon had left a remnant in Judah, and that he had appointed over them Gedaliah the son of Ahikam the son of Shaphan; Jer. 40:11
and all the Jews returned out of all the places whither they had been driven, and came to the land of Judah to Gedaliah, unto Mizpah, and gathered wine and summer fruits in great abundance. Jer. 40:12
And Johanan the son of Kareah, and all the captains of the forces that were in the fields, came to Gedaliah unto Mizpah, Jer. 40:13
and said unto him, Dost thou indeed know that Baalis the king of the children of Ammon hath sent Ishmael the son of Nethaniah to smite thee to death? But Gedaliah the son of Ahikam believed them not. Jer. 40:14
And Johanan the son of Kareah spoke to Gedaliah in Mizpah secretly, saying, Let me go, I pray thee, and I will smite Ishmael the son of Nethaniah and no man shall know it: why should he take thy life, and all they of Judah who are gathered unto thee be scattered, and the remnant of Judah perish? Jer. 40:15
But Gedaliah the son of Ahikam said unto Johanan the son of Kareah, Thou shalt not do this thing; for thou speakest falsely of Ishmael. Jer. 40:16
And it came to pass in the seventh month, that Ishmael the son of Nethaniah the son of Elishama, of the royal seed, and one of the king's chief men, and ten men with him, came to Gedaliah the son of Ahikam unto Mizpah, and there they ate bread together, in Mizpah. Jer. 41:1
And Ishmael the son of Nethaniah arose, and the ten men that were with him, and smote Gedaliah the son of Ahikam the son of Shaphan with the sword, and killed him, whom the king of Babylon had appointed over the land. Jer. 41:2
And Ishmael smote all the Jews that were with him, with Gedaliah, at Mizpah, and the Chaldeans that were found there, the men of war. Jer. 41:3
And it came to pass the second day after he had killed Gedaliah, and no man knew it, Jer. 41:4
that there came men from Shechem, from Shiloh, and from Samaria, eighty men, having their beards shaven and their clothes rent, and having cut themselves; with oblations and incense in their hand, to bring them to the house of Jehovah. Jer. 41:5
And Ishmael the son of Nethaniah went forth from Mizpah to meet them, weeping all along as he went; and it came to pass when he met them, he said unto them, Come to Gedaliah the son of Ahikam. Jer. 41:6
And it was so, when they came into the midst of the city, that Ishmael the son of Nethaniah, he and the men that were with him, slew them, and cast them into the midst of the pit. Jer. 41:7
But ten men were found among them that said unto Ishmael, Do not kill us, for we have hidden stores in the field, of wheat, and of barley, and of oil, and of honey. So he forbore, and did not kill them among their brethren. Jer. 41:8
And the pit into which Ishmael had cast all the dead bodies of the men whom he had slain by the side of Gedaliah was the one which Asa the king had made for fear of Baasha king of Israel: Ishmael the son of Nethaniah filled it with the slain. Jer. 41:9
And Ishmael carried away captive all the remnant of the people that were in Mizpah, the king's daughters, and all the people that remained in Mizpah, whom Nebuzar-adan the captain of the body-guard had committed to Gedaliah the son of Ahikam: Ishmael the son of Nethaniah carried them away captive, and departed to go over to the children of Ammon. Jer. 41:10
And Johanan the son of Kareah, and all the captains of the forces that were with him, heard of all the evil that Ishmael the son of Nethaniah had done; Jer. 41:11
and they took all the men, and went to fight with Ishmael the son of Nethaniah, and found him by the great waters that are at Gibeon. Jer. 41:12
And it came to pass when all the people that were with Ishmael saw Johanan the son of Kareah, and all the captains of the forces that were with him, then they were glad. Jer. 41:13
And all the people that Ishmael had carried away captive from Mizpah turned about and came back, and went to Johanan the son of Kareah. Jer. 41:14
But Ishmael the son of Nethaniah escaped from Johanan with eight men, and went to the children of Ammon. Jer. 41:15
Then Johanan the son of Kareah, and all the captains of the forces that were with him, took all the remnant of the people whom he had recovered from Ishmael the son of Nethaniah, from Mizpah, after he had slain Gedaliah the son of Ahikam, the mighty men of war, and the women, and the children, and the eunuchs, whom he had brought again from Gibeon; Jer. 41:16
because of the Chaldeans; for they feared them, because Ishmael the son of Nethaniah had smitten Gedaliah the son of Ahikam, whom the king of Babylon had appointed over the land. Jer. 41:18
And all the captains of the forces, and Johanan the son of Kareah, and Jezaniah the son of Hoshaiah, and all the people from the least even to the greatest, Jer. 42:1
came near and said unto Jeremiah the prophet, Let, we beseech thee, our supplication come before thee, and pray for us unto Jehovah thy God, for all this remnant (for we are left a few of many, as thine eyes do behold us); Jer. 42:2
that Jehovah thy God may shew us the way wherein we should walk, and the thing that we should do. Jer. 42:3
And Jeremiah the prophet said unto them, I have heard; behold, I will pray unto Jehovah your God according to your words; and it shall come to pass that whatsoever thing Jehovah shall answer you, I will declare it unto you: I will keep nothing back from you. Jer. 42:4
And they said to Jeremiah, Jehovah be a true and faithful witness amongst us, if we do not even according to all the word for which Jehovah thy God shall send thee to us. Jer. 42:5
Whether it be good or whether it be evil, we will hearken unto the voice of Jehovah our God, to whom we send thee; that it may be well with us when we hearken unto the voice of Jehovah our God. Jer. 42:6
And it came to pass at the end of ten days, that the word of Jehovah came unto Jeremiah. Jer. 42:7
And he called Johanan the son of Kareah, and all the captains of the forces that were with him, and all the people from the least even unto the greatest, Jer. 42:8
and said unto them, Thus saith Jehovah the God of Israel, to whom ye sent me to present your supplication before him: Jer. 42:9
If ye will still abide in this land, then will I build you, and not overthrow you, and I will plant you, and not pluck you up; for I repent me of the evil that I have done unto you. Jer. 42:10
Be not afraid of the king of Babylon, of whom ye are afraid: be not afraid of him, saith Jehovah; for I will be with you to save you, and to deliver you from his hand. Jer. 42:11
But if ye say, We will not dwell in this land; so as not to hearken unto the voice of Jehovah your God, Jer. 42:13
saying, No; but we will go into the land of Egypt, where we shall see no war, nor hear the sound of the trumpet, nor have hunger for bread; and there will we dwell; Jer. 42:14
-- and now, therefore, hear the word of Jehovah, ye remnant of Judah: thus saith Jehovah of hosts, the God of Israel: If ye really set your faces to enter into Egypt, and go to sojourn there, Jer. 42:15
then it shall come to pass, that the sword which ye fear shall overtake you there in the land of Egypt, and the famine, whereof ye are afraid, shall follow hard after you there in Egypt; and there ye shall die. Jer. 42:16
And it shall be that all the men that have set their faces to go into Egypt to sojourn there shall die by the sword, by the famine, and by the pestilence; and none of them shall remain or escape from the evil that I will bring upon them. Jer. 42:17
For thus saith Jehovah of hosts, the God of Israel: As mine anger and my fury have been poured forth upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem, so shall my fury be poured forth upon you, when ye shall enter into Egypt; and ye shall be an execration, and an astonishment, and a curse, and a reproach, and ye shall see this place no more. Jer. 42:18
Jehovah hath said concerning you, the remnant of Judah, Go ye not into Egypt. Know certainly that I have admonished you this day. Jer. 42:19
And I have this day declared it to you; but ye have not obeyed the voice of Jehovah your God, nor anything for which he hath sent me unto you. Jer. 42:21
And now know certainly that ye shall die by the sword, by the famine, and by the pestilence, in the place whither ye desire to go to sojourn. Jer. 42:22
And it came to pass, when Jeremiah had ended speaking unto all the people all the words of Jehovah their God, with which Jehovah their God had sent him to them -- all these words, Jer. 43:1
-- then spoke Azariah the son of Hoshaiah, and Johanan the son of Kareah, and all the proud men, saying to Jeremiah, Thou speakest falsely: Jehovah our God hath not sent thee to say, Go not into Egypt to sojourn there; Jer. 43:2
but Baruch the son of Nerijah is setting thee on against us, to deliver us into the hand of the Chaldeans, that they may put us to death, and carry us away captives into Babylon. Jer. 43:3
So Johanan the son of Kareah, and all the captains of the forces, and all the people, hearkened not unto the voice of Jehovah to abide in the land of Judah; Jer. 43:4
but Johanan the son of Kareah, and all the captains of the forces, took all the remnant of Judah, that were returned from all nations whither they had been driven, to sojourn in the land of Judah; Jer. 43:5
men, and women, and children, and the king's daughters, and every person that Nebuzar-adan the captain of the body-guard had left with Gedaliah the son of Ahikam the son of Shaphan, and Jeremiah the prophet, and Baruch the son of Nerijah; Jer. 43:6
and they came into the land of Egypt: for they hearkened not unto the voice of Jehovah. And they came as far as Tahpanhes. Jer. 43:7
And the word of Jehovah came to Jeremiah in Tahpanhes, saying, Jer. 43:8
Take great stones in thy hand, and hide them in the clay in the brick-kiln, which is at the entry of Pharaoh's house in Tahpanhes, in the sight of the Jews, Jer. 43:9
and say unto them, Thus saith Jehovah of hosts, the God of Israel: Behold, I will send and take Nebuchadrezzar the king of Babylon, my servant, and will set his throne upon these stones which I have hidden, and he shall spread his royal pavilion over them. Jer. 43:10
And he shall come and smite the land of Egypt: such as are for death to death, and such as are for captivity to captivity; and such as are for the sword to the sword. Jer. 43:11
And I will kindle a fire in the houses of the gods of Egypt, and he shall burn them, and carry them away captive; and he shall array himself with the land of Egypt, as a shepherd putteth on his garment; and he shall go forth from thence in peace. Jer. 43:12
And he shall break the pillars of Beth-shemesh, which is in the land of Egypt; and the houses of the gods of Egypt shall he burn with fire. Jer. 43:13
The word that came to Jeremiah concerning all the Jews who dwelt in the land of Egypt, who dwelt at Migdol, and at Tahpanhes, and at Noph, and in the country of Pathros, saying, Jer. 44:1
Thus saith Jehovah of hosts, the God of Israel: Ye have seen all the evil that I have brought upon Jerusalem, and upon all the cities of Judah; and behold they are, this day, a waste, and no man dwelleth therein, Jer. 44:2
And I sent unto you all my servants the prophets, rising early and sending, saying, Oh, do not this abominable thing which I hate! Jer. 44:4
And my fury and mine anger was poured forth, and was kindled in the cities of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem; and they are become a waste, a desolation, as at this day. Jer. 44:6
And now thus saith Jehovah the God of hosts, the God of Israel: Wherefore commit ye great evil against your souls, to cut off from you man and woman, infant and suckling, out of the midst of Judah, to leave you no remnant; Jer. 44:7
provoking me to anger with the works of your hands, burning incense unto other gods in the land of Egypt, whither ye are come to sojourn, that ye should be cut off, and that ye should be a curse and a reproach among all the nations of the earth? Jer. 44:8
Have ye forgotten the wickedness of your fathers, and the wickedness of the kings of Judah, and the wickedness of their wives, and your own wickedness, and the wickedness of your wives, which they have committed in the land of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem? Jer. 44:9
Therefore thus saith Jehovah of hosts, the God of Israel: Behold, I will set my face against you for evil, and to cut off all Judah. Jer. 44:11
And I will take the remnant of Judah, that have set their faces to enter into the land of Egypt to sojourn there, and they shall all be consumed: in the land of Egypt shall they fall; they shall be consumed by the sword and by the famine, from the least even unto the greatest; they shall die by the sword and by the famine, and they shall be an execration, an astonishment, and a curse, and a reproach. Jer. 44:12
And I will punish them that dwell in the land of Egypt as I have punished Jerusalem, by the sword, by the famine, and by the pestilence; Jer. 44:13
and none of the remnant of Judah, that have come into the land of Egypt to sojourn there, shall escape or remain, so as to return into the land of Judah, whither they have a desire to return to dwell there; for none shall return but such as shall escape. Jer. 44:14
Then all the men who knew that their wives burned incense to other gods, and all the women who stood by, a great assemblage, even all the people that dwelt in the land of Egypt, in Pathros, answered Jeremiah, saying, Jer. 44:15
As for the word that thou hast spoken unto us in the name of Jehovah, we will not hearken unto thee, Jer. 44:16
but we will certainly do every word that is gone forth out of our mouth, to burn incense to the queen of the heavens, and to pour out drink-offerings to her, as we have done, we and our fathers, our kings and our princes, in the cities of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem; and we had plenty of bread, and were well, and saw no evil. Jer. 44:17
But since we left off burning incense to the queen of the heavens, and pouring out drink-offerings to her, we have wanted everything, and have been consumed by the sword and by the famine. Jer. 44:18
And when we burned incense to the queen of the heavens and poured out drink-offerings to her, did we make for her cakes to portray her, and pour out drink-offerings to her, without our husbands? Jer. 44:19
And Jeremiah said unto all the people, to the men, and to the women, and to all the people that had given him that answer, saying, Jer. 44:20
Is it not the incense that ye burned in the cities of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem, ye and your fathers, your kings and your princes and the people of the land, that Jehovah remembered, and that came into his mind? Jer. 44:21
And Jehovah could no longer bear, because of the evil of your doings, and because of the abominations that ye had committed; and your land is become a waste, and an astonishment, and a curse, without inhabitant, as at this day. Jer. 44:22
Because ye have burned incense, and because ye have sinned against Jehovah, and have not hearkened unto the voice of Jehovah, nor walked in his law, nor in his statutes, nor in his testimonies; therefore this evil hath come upon you, as at this day. Jer. 44:23
And Jeremiah said unto all the people, and to all the women, Hear ye the word of Jehovah, all Judah that are in the land of Egypt. Jer. 44:24
Thus saith Jehovah of hosts, the God of Israel, saying, Ye and your wives have both spoken with your mouths, and fulfilled with your hands, saying, We will certainly perform our vows which we have vowed, to burn incense to the queen of the heavens, and to pour out drink-offerings unto her. Ye will certainly establish your vows, and entirely perform your vows. Jer. 44:25
Therefore hear ye the word of Jehovah, all Judah that dwell in the land of Egypt: Behold, I have sworn by my great name, saith Jehovah, that my name shall no more be named in the mouth of any man of Judah in all the land of Egypt, saying, As the Lord Jehovah liveth. Jer. 44:26
Behold, I will watch over them for evil, and not for good; and all the men of Judah that are in the land of Egypt shall be consumed by the sword and by the famine, until there be an end of them. Jer. 44:27
And they that escape the sword shall return out of the land of Egypt into the land of Judah, a very small company; and all the remnant of Judah, that have come into the land of Egypt to sojourn there, shall know whose word shall stand, mine or theirs. Jer. 44:28
And this shall be the sign unto you, saith Jehovah, that I will punish you in this place, that ye may know that my words shall certainly stand against you for evil: Jer. 44:29
thus saith Jehovah: Behold, I will give Pharaoh-Hophra king of Egypt into the hand of his enemies, and into the hand of them that seek his life; as I gave Zedekiah king of Judah into the hand of Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon, his enemy, and that sought his life. Jer. 44:30
The word that Jeremiah the prophet spoke to Baruch the son of Nerijah, when he wrote these words in a book at the mouth of Jeremiah, in the fourth year of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah, the king of Judah, saying, Jer. 45:1
Thus sayeth Jehovah, the God of Israel, concerning thee, Baruch: Jer. 45:2
The word of Jehovah that came to Jeremiah the prophet concerning the nations. Jer. 46:1
Of Egypt: concerning the army of Pharaoh-Necho king of Egypt, which was by the river Euphrates at Carchemish, which Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon smote in the fourth year of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah, the king of Judah. Jer. 46:2
Harness the horses, and mount ye horsemen, and stand forth with helmets; polish the spears, put on the coats of mail! Jer. 46:4
Let not the swift flee away, neither let the mighty man escape! -- Toward the north, hard by the river Euphrates, they have stumbled and fallen. Jer. 46:6
Who is this that riseth up as the Nile, whose waters toss themselves like the rivers? Jer. 46:7
It is Egypt that riseth up as the Nile, and his waters toss themselves like the rivers; and he saith, I will rise up, I will cover the earth; I will destroy the city and the inhabitants thereof. Jer. 46:8
Go up, ye horses, and drive furiously, ye chariots; and let the mighty men go forth: Cush and Phut that handle the shield, and the Ludim that handle the bow and bend it. Jer. 46:9
For this is the day of the Lord Jehovah of hosts, a day of vengeance, that he may be avenged of his adversaries; and the sword shall devour, and it shall be sated and made drunk with their blood; for the Lord Jehovah of hosts hath a sacrifice in the north country, by the river Euphrates. Jer. 46:10
The nations have heard of thy shame, and thy cry hath filled the earth; for the mighty man stumbleth against the mighty, they are both fallen together. Jer. 46:12
The word that Jehovah spoke to Jeremiah the prophet, concerning the coming of Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon to smite the land of Egypt: Jer. 46:13
Declare in Egypt, and publish in Migdol, and publish in Noph, and in Tahpanhes; say, Stand fast, and prepare thee; for the sword devoureth round about thee. Jer. 46:14
He made many to stumble, yea, one fell upon another; and they said, Arise, and let us return to our own people and to the land of our nativity, from the oppressing sword. Jer. 46:16
There did they cry, Pharaoh king of Egypt is but a noise; he hath let the time appointed go by. Jer. 46:17
As I live, saith the King, whose name is Jehovah of hosts, surely as Tabor among the mountains, and as Carmel by the sea, so shall he come. Jer. 46:18
Egypt is a very fair heifer; the gad-fly cometh, it cometh from the north. Jer. 46:20
Also her hired men in the midst of her are like fatted bullocks; for they also have turned back, they have fled away together, they did not stand; for the day of their calamity is come upon them, the time of their visitation. Jer. 46:21

And the army of the Chaldeans pursued after the king, and overtook Zedekiah in the plains of Jericho; and all his army was scattered from him. Jer. 52:8
And they took the king, and brought him up to the king of Babylon, unto Riblah in the land of Hamath, and he pronounced judgment upon him. Jer. 52:9
And the king of Babylon slaughtered the sons of Zedekiah before his eyes; and he slaughtered also all the princes of Judah in Riblah. Jer. 52:10
And he put out the eyes of Zedekiah, and bound him with chains of brass; and the king of Babylon carried him to Babylon, and put him in prison till the day of his death. Jer. 52:11
And in the fifth month, on the tenth of the month, which was in the nineteenth year of Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon, Nebuzar-adan, captain of the body-guard, who stood before the king of Babylon, came unto Jerusalem; Jer. 52:12
and he burned the house of Jehovah, and the king's house, and all the houses of Jerusalem; and every great man's house he burned with fire. Jer. 52:13
And all the army of the Chaldeans, that were with the captain of the body-guard, broke down all the walls of Jerusalem round about. Jer. 52:14
And Nebuzar-adan the captain of the body-guard carried away captive of the poorest sort of the people, and the rest of the people that were left in the city, and the deserters that had deserted to the king of Babylon, and the rest of the multitude. Jer. 52:15
But Nebuzar-adan the captain of the body-guard left of the poor of the land for vinedressers and for husbandmen. Jer. 52:16
And the brazen pillars that were in the house of Jehovah, and the bases, and the brazen sea that was in the house of Jehovah, the Chaldeans broke up, and carried all the brass thereof to Babylon. Jer. 52:17
The pots also, and the shovels, and the knives, and the bowls, and the cups, and all the vessels of brass wherewith they ministered, they took away. Jer. 52:18
And the basons and the censers, and the bowls, and the pots, and the candlesticks, and the cups, and the goblets, that which was of gold in gold, and that which was of silver in silver, the captain of the body-guard took away. Jer. 52:19
The two pillars, the one sea, and the twelve brazen oxen that formed the bases, which king Solomon had made for the house of Jehovah: for the brass of all these vessels there was no weight. Jer. 52:20
And as to the pillars: the height of one pillar was eighteen cubits, and a line of twelve cubits encompassed it; and the thickness thereof was four fingers: it was hollow. Jer. 52:21
And the capital upon it was brass, and the height of the one capital was five cubits; and the network and the pomegranates, upon the capital round about, all of brass; and similarly for the second pillar, and the pomegranates. Jer. 52:22
And there were ninety-six pomegranates on the four sides; all the pomegranates upon the network were a hundred round about. Jer. 52:23
And the captain of the body-guard took Seraiah the chief priest, and Zephaniah the second priest, and the three doorkeepers. Jer. 52:24
And out of the city he took a eunuch that was set over the men of war, and seven men of them that were in the king's presence, who were found in the city, and the scribe of the captain of the host, who enrolled the people of the land. And sixty men of the people of the land that were found in the midst of the city. Jer. 52:25
And Nebuzar-adan the captain of the body-guard took them, and brought them to the king of Babylon to Riblah; Jer. 52:26
and the king of Babylon smote them, and put them to death at Riblah in the land of Hamath. Thus Judah was carried away captive out of his land. Jer. 52:27
This is the people whom Nebuchadrezzar carried away captive: in the seventh year three thousand and twenty-three Jews; Jer. 52:28
in the eighteenth year of Nebuchadrezzar he carried away captive from Jerusalem eight hundred and thirty-two persons; Jer. 52:29
in the twenty-third year of Nebuchadrezzar, Nebuzar-adan the captain of the body-guard carried away captive of the Jews seven hundred and forty-five persons: all the persons were four thousand six hundred. Jer. 52:30
* And it came to pass in the thirty-seventh year of the captivity of Jehoiachin king of Judah, in the twelfth month, on the twenty-fifth of the month, that Evil-Merodach king of Babylon, in the year that he began to reign, lifted up the head of Jehoiachin king of Judah, and brought him forth out of prison; Jer. 52:31
and he spoke kindly unto him, and set his seat above the seat of the kings that were with him in Babylon. Jer. 52:32
And he changed his prison garments; and he ate bread before him continually all the days of his life; Jer. 52:33
and his allowance was a continual allowance given him by the king of Babylon, every day a portion until the day of his death, all the days of his life. Jer. 52:34
* How doth the city sit solitary that was full of people! She that was great among the nations is become as a widow; the princess among the provinces is become tributary! Lam. 1:1
She weepeth sore in the night, and her tears are on her cheeks; among all her lovers she hath no comforter; all her friends have dealt treacherously with her, they are become her enemies. Lam. 1:2
Judah is gone into captivity because of affliction, and because of great servitude; she dwelleth among the nations, she findeth no rest: all her pursuers have overtaken her within the straits. Lam. 1:3
The ways of Zion do mourn, because none come to the solemn assembly: all her gates are desolate; her priests sigh, her virgins are in grief; and as for her, she is in bitterness. Lam. 1:4
Her adversaries have become the head, her enemies prosper; for Jehovah hath afflicted her for the multitude of her transgressions: her children are gone into captivity before the adversary. Lam. 1:5
And from the daughter of Zion all her splendour is departed: her princes are become like harts that find no pasture; and they are gone without strength before the pursuer. Lam. 1:6
In the days of her affliction and of her wanderings, since her people fell into the hand of an adversary, and none did help her, Jerusalem remembereth all her precious things which she had in the days of old: the adversaries have seen her, they mock at her ruin. Lam. 1:7
Her impurity was in her skirts, she remembered not her latter end; and she came down wonderfully: she hath no comforter. Jehovah, behold my affliction; for the enemy hath magnified himself. Lam. 1:9
The adversary hath spread out his hand upon all her precious things; for she hath seen the nations enter into her sanctuary, concerning whom thou didst command that they should not enter into thy congregation. Lam. 1:10
Is it nothing to you, all ye that pass by? Behold, and see if there be any sorrow like unto my sorrow, which is done unto me, whom Jehovah hath afflicted in the day of his fierce anger. Lam. 1:12
From on high hath he sent fire into my bones, and it prevaileth against them; he hath spread a net for my feet; he hath turned me back; he hath made me desolate and faint all the day. Lam. 1:13
The yoke of my transgressions is bound by his hand: they are wreathed, they are come up upon my neck; he hath made my strength to fail; the Lord hath delivered me into hands out of which I am not able to rise up. Lam. 1:14
The Lord hath cast down all my mighty men in the midst of me; he hath called an assembly against me to crush my young men; the Lord hath trodden as a winepress the virgin daughter of Judah. Lam. 1:15
For these things I weep; mine eye, mine eye runneth down with water: for the comforter that should revive my soul is far from me; my children are desolate, for the enemy hath prevailed. Lam. 1:16
I called for my lovers, they have deceived me; my priests and mine elders have expired in the city, while they sought them food to revive their soul. Lam. 1:19
See, Jehovah, for I am in distress, my bowels are troubled; my heart is turned within me, for I have grievously rebelled: without, the sword hath bereaved me, within, it is as death. Lam. 1:20
They have heard that I sigh: I have no comforter: all mine enemies have heard of my calamity; they are glad that thou hast done it. Thou wilt bring the day that thou hast called, and they shall be like unto me. Lam. 1:21
How hath the Lord in his anger covered the daughter of Zion with a cloud! He hath cast down from the heavens unto the earth the beauty of Israel, and remembered not his footstool in the day of his anger. Lam. 2:1
The Lord hath swallowed up all the dwellings of Jacob, and hath not spared; he hath thrown down in his wrath the strongholds of the daughter of Judah: he hath brought them down to the ground; he hath profaned the kingdom and the princes thereof. Lam. 2:2
He hath cut off in fierce anger all the horn of Israel: he hath withdrawn his right hand from before the enemy; and he burned up Jacob like a flaming fire, devouring round about. Lam. 2:3
He hath bent his bow like an enemy; he stood with his right hand as an adversary, and hath slain all that was pleasant to the eye: in the tent of the daughter of Zion, he hath poured out his fury like fire. Lam. 2:4
The Lord is become as an enemy: he hath swallowed up Israel; he hath swallowed up all her palaces; he hath destroyed his strongholds, and hath multiplied in the daughter of Judah mourning and lamentation. Lam. 2:5
And he hath violently cast down his enclosure as a garden; he hath destroyed his place of assembly: Jehovah hath caused set feast and sabbath to be forgotten in Zion, and hath despised in the indignation of his anger king and priest. Lam. 2:6
The Lord hath cast off his altar, he hath rejected his sanctuary; he hath given up into the hand of the enemy the walls of her palaces: they have made a noise in the house of Jehovah, as on the day of a set feast. Lam. 2:7
Jehovah hath purposed to destroy the wall of the daughter of Zion: he hath stretched out the line, he hath not withdrawn his hand from destroying; and he hath made the rampart and the wall to lament: they languish together. Lam. 2:8
Her gates are sunk into the ground; he hath destroyed and broken her bars. Her king and her princes are among the nations: the law is no more; her prophets also find no vision from Jehovah. Lam. 2:9
The elders of the daughter of Zion sit upon the ground, they keep silence; they have cast dust upon their heads, they have girded themselves with sackcloth: the virgins of Jerusalem hang down their head to the ground. Lam. 2:10
Mine eyes are consumed with tears, my bowels are troubled; my liver is poured upon the earth, because of the ruin of the daughter of my people; because infant and suckling swoon in the streets of the city. Lam. 2:11
They say to their mothers, Where is corn and wine? when they swoon as the wounded in the streets of the city; when they pour out their soul into their mothers' bosom. Lam. 2:12
What shall I take to witness for thee? what shall I liken unto thee, daughter of Jerusalem? What shall I equal to thee, that I may comfort thee, virgin daughter of Zion? For thy ruin is great as the sea: who will heal thee? Lam. 2:13
All that pass by clap their hands at thee; they hiss and shake their head at the daughter of Jerusalem: Is this the city which they called, The perfection of beauty, The joy of the whole earth? Lam. 2:15
All thine enemies open their mouth against thee, they hiss and gnash the teeth: they say, We have swallowed her up; this is forsooth the day that we looked for: we have found, we have seen it. Lam. 2:16
Jehovah hath done what he had devised; he hath fulfilled his word which he had commanded from the days of old: he hath thrown down, and hath not spared, and he hath caused the enemy to rejoice over thee; he hath set up the horn of thine adversaries. Lam. 2:17
Their heart cried unto the Lord. O wall of the daughter of Zion, let tears run down like a torrent day and night: give thyself no respite; let not the apple of thine eye rest. Lam. 2:18
Arise, cry out in the night, in the beginning of the watches; pour out thy heart like water before the face of the Lord: lift up thy hands toward him for the life of thy young children, who faint from hunger at the top of all the streets. Lam. 2:19
See, Jehovah, and consider to whom thou hast done this! Shall the women eat their fruit, the infants that they nursed? Shall priest and prophet be slain in the sanctuary of the Lord? Lam. 2:20
The child and the old man lie on the ground in the streets; my virgins and my young men are fallen by the sword: thou hast slain them in the day of thine anger; thou hast killed, thou hast not spared. Lam. 2:21
Thou hast called up, as on the day of a set feast, my terrors on every side; and in the day of Jehovah's anger there was none that escaped or remained: those that I have nursed and brought up hath mine enemy consumed. Lam. 2:22
* I am the man that hath seen affliction by the rod of his wrath. Lam. 3:1
Surely against me hath he turned again and again his hand all the day. Lam. 3:3
He hath bent his bow, and set me as a mark for the arrow. Lam. 3:12
He hath caused the arrows of his quiver to enter into my reins. Lam. 3:13
I am become a derision to all my people; their song all the day. Lam. 3:14
Remember thou mine affliction and my wandering, the wormwood and the gall. Lam. 3:19
Jehovah is good unto them that wait for him, to the soul that seeketh him. Lam. 3:25
It is good that one should both wait, and that in silence, for the salvation of Jehovah. Lam. 3:26
It is good for a man that he bear the yoke in his youth: Lam. 3:27
he putteth his mouth in the dust, if so be there may be hope; Lam. 3:29
For the Lord will not cast off for ever; Lam. 3:31
but if he have caused grief, he will have compassion according to the multitude of his loving-kindnesses: Lam. 3:32
for he doth not willingly afflict or grieve the children of men. Lam. 3:33
To crush under foot all the prisoners of the earth, Lam. 3:34
to turn aside the right of a man before the face of the Most High, Lam. 3:35
to wrong a man in his cause, -- will not the Lord see it? Lam. 3:36
Who is he that saith, and there cometh to pass, what the Lord hath not commanded? Lam. 3:37
Out of the mouth of the Most High doth not there proceed evil and good? Lam. 3:38
Wherefore doth a living man complain, a man for the punishment of his sins? Lam. 3:39
Let us lift up our heart with our hands unto *God in the heavens. Lam. 3:41
Thou hast made us the offscouring and refuse in the midst of the peoples. Lam. 3:45
Fear and the pit are come upon us, devastation and ruin. Lam. 3:47
Mine eye runneth down with streams of water for the ruin of the daughter of my people. Lam. 3:48
till Jehovah look down and behold from the heavens. Lam. 3:50
Mine eye affecteth my soul, because of all the daughters of my city. Lam. 3:51
I called upon thy name, Jehovah, out of the lowest pit. Lam. 3:55
Thou drewest near in the day that I called upon thee; thou saidst, Fear not. Lam. 3:57
Lord, thou hast pleaded the cause of my soul, thou hast redeemed my life. Lam. 3:58
the lips of those that rise up against me and their meditation against me all the day. Lam. 3:62
Render unto them a recompence, O Jehovah, according to the work of their hands; Lam. 3:64
pursue them in anger, and destroy them from under the heavens of Jehovah. Lam. 3:66
* How is the gold become dim! the most pure gold changed! the stones of the sanctuary poured out at the top of all the streets! Lam. 4:1
The sons of Zion, so precious, comparable to fine gold, how are they esteemed as earthen pitchers, the work of the hands of the potter! Lam. 4:2
Even the jackals offer the breast, they give suck to their young; the daughter of my people is become cruel, like the ostriches in the wilderness. Lam. 4:3
The tongue of the sucking child cleaveth to the roof of his mouth for thirst; the young children ask bread, no man breaketh it unto them. Lam. 4:4
They that fed delicately are desolate in the streets; they that were brought up in scarlet embrace dung-hills. Lam. 4:5
And the punishment of the iniquity of the daughter of my people is greater than the reward of the sin of Sodom, which was overthrown as in a moment, and no hands were violently laid upon her. Lam. 4:6
Their visage is darker than blackness, they are not known in the streets; their skin cleaveth to their bones, it is withered, it is become like a stick. Lam. 4:8
The slain with the sword are happier than the slain with hunger; for these pine away, stricken through for want of the fruits of the field. Lam. 4:9
The hands of pitiful women have boiled their own children: they were their meat in the ruin of the daughter of my people. Lam. 4:10
Jehovah hath accomplished his fury; he hath poured out his fierce anger, and hath kindled a fire in Zion, which hath consumed the foundations thereof. Lam. 4:11
The kings of the earth, and all the inhabitants of the world, would not have believed that the adversary and the enemy should enter into the gates of Jerusalem. Lam. 4:12
It is for the sins of her prophets, and the iniquities of her priests, who have shed the blood of the righteous in the midst of her. Lam. 4:13
They wandered about blind in the streets; they were polluted with blood, so that men could not touch their garments. Lam. 4:14
They cried unto them, Depart! Unclean! Depart! depart, touch not! When they fled away, and wandered about, it was said among the nations, They shall no more sojourn there. Lam. 4:15
The face of Jehovah hath divided them; he will no more regard them. They respected not the persons of the priests, they favoured not the aged. Lam. 4:16
Our pursuers were swifter than the eagles of the heavens; they chased us hotly upon the mountains, they laid wait for us in the wilderness. Lam. 4:19
The breath of our nostrils, the anointed of Jehovah, was taken in their pits; of whom we said, Under his shadow we shall live among the nations. Lam. 4:20
Rejoice and be glad, daughter of Edom, that dwellest in the land of Uz: the cup shall pass also unto thee; thou shalt be drunken, and make thyself naked. Lam. 4:21
The punishment of thine iniquity is accomplished, O daughter of Zion; he will no more carry thee away into captivity. He will visit thine iniquity, O daughter of Edom; he will discover thy sins. Lam. 4:22
We have given the hand to Egypt, and to Asshur, to be satisfied with bread. Lam. 5:6
We have to get our bread at the risk of our lives, because of the sword of the wilderness. Lam. 5:9
Our skin gloweth like an oven, because of the burning heat of the famine. Lam. 5:10
They have ravished the women in Zion, the maids in the cities of Judah. Lam. 5:11
Princes were hanged up by their hand; the faces of elders were not honoured. Lam. 5:12
The young men have borne the mill, and the youths have stumbled under the wood. Lam. 5:13
The elders have ceased from the gate, the young men from their music. Lam. 5:14
The joy of our heart hath ceased; our dance is turned into mourning. Lam. 5:15
The crown is fallen from our head: woe unto us, for we have sinned! Lam. 5:16
Because of the mountain of Zion, which is desolate: foxes walk over it. Lam. 5:18
* Now it came to pass in the thirtieth year, in the fourth month, on the fifth of the month, as I was among the captives by the river Chebar, the heavens were opened, and I saw visions of God. Ezek. 1:1
On the fifth of the month, (it was the fifth year of king Jehoiachin's captivity,) Ezek. 1:2
the word of Jehovah came expressly unto Ezekiel the priest, the son of Buzi, in the land of the Chaldeans by the river Chebar; and the hand of Jehovah was there upon him. Ezek. 1:3
And I looked, and behold, a stormy wind came out of the north, a great cloud, and a fire infolding itself, and a brightness was about it, and out of the midst thereof as the look of glowing brass, out of the midst of the fire. Ezek. 1:4
Also out of the midst thereof, the likeness of four living creatures. And this was their appearance: they had the likeness of a man. Ezek. 1:5
And their feet were straight feet; and the sole of their feet was like the sole of a calf's foot; and they sparkled as the look of burnished brass. Ezek. 1:7
And they had the hands of a man under their wings on their four sides; and they four had their faces and their wings: Ezek. 1:8
And the likeness of their faces was the face of a man; and they four had the face of a lion on the right side; and they four had the face of an ox on the left side; they four had also the face of an eagle. Ezek. 1:10
And they went every one straight forward: whither the Spirit was to go, they went; they turned not when they went. Ezek. 1:12
And as for the likeness of the living creatures, their appearance was like burning coals of fire, as the appearance of torches: it went up and down among the living creatures; and the fire was bright; and out of the fire went forth lightning. Ezek. 1:13
And the living creatures ran and returned as the appearance of a flash of lightning. Ezek. 1:14
And I looked at the living creatures, and behold, one wheel upon the earth beside the living creatures, toward their four faces. Ezek. 1:15
The appearance of the wheels and their work was as the look of a chrysolite; and they four had one likeness; and their appearance and their work was as it were a wheel in the middle of a wheel. Ezek. 1:16
And when the living creatures went, the wheels went beside them; and when the living creatures were lifted up from the earth, the wheels were lifted up. Ezek. 1:19
Whithersoever the Spirit was to go, they went, thither would their spirit go; and the wheels were lifted up along with them: for the spirit of the living creature was in the wheels. Ezek. 1:20
When those went, they went; and when those stood, they stood; and when those were lifted up from the earth, the wheels were lifted up along with them: for the spirit of the living creature was in the wheels. Ezek. 1:21
And there was the likeness of an expanse over the heads of the living creature, as the look of the terrible crystal, stretched forth over their heads above. Ezek. 1:22
And under the expanse were their wings straight, the one toward the other: every one had two which covered on this side, and every one had two which covered on that side their bodies. Ezek. 1:23
And when they went, I heard the noise of their wings, like the noise of great waters, as the voice of the Almighty, a tumultuous noise, as the noise of a host: when they stood, they let down their wings; Ezek. 1:24
and there was a voice from above the expanse that was over their heads. When they stood, they let down their wings. Ezek. 1:25
And above the expanse that was over their heads was the likeness of a throne, as the appearance of a sapphire stone; and upon the likeness of the throne was a likeness as the appearance of a man above upon it. Ezek. 1:26
And I saw as the look of glowing brass, as the appearance of fire, within it round about; from the appearance of his loins and upward, and from the appearance of his loins and downward, I saw as it were the appearance of fire, and it had brightness round about. Ezek. 1:27
As the appearance of the bow that is in the cloud in the day of rain, so was the appearance of the brightness round about. This was the appearance of the likeness of the glory of Jehovah. And when I saw, I fell on my face, and I heard a voice of one that spoke. Ezek. 1:28
And the Spirit entered into me when he spoke unto me, and set me upon my feet; and I heard him that spoke unto me. Ezek. 2:2
And he said unto me, Son of man, I send thee to the children of Israel, to nations that are rebellious, which have rebelled against me: they and their fathers have transgressed against me unto this very day; Ezek. 2:3
and these children are impudent and hard-hearted: I am sending thee unto them; and thou shalt say unto them, Thus saith the Lord Jehovah. Ezek. 2:4
And he said unto me, Son of man, eat what thou findest; eat this roll, and go, speak unto the house of Israel. Ezek. 3:1
And he said unto me, Son of man, go, get thee unto the house of Israel, and speak with my words unto them. Ezek. 3:4
For thou art not sent to a people of strange language, and of difficult speech, but to the house of Israel; Ezek. 3:5
But the house of Israel will not hearken unto thee, for none of them will hearken unto me. For all the house of Israel are hard of forehead and stiff of heart. Ezek. 3:7
and go, get thee to them of the captivity, unto the children of thy people, and speak unto them, and tell them, Thus saith the Lord Jehovah, -- whether they will hear or whether they will forbear. Ezek. 3:11
And the Spirit lifted me up, and I heard behind me the sound of a great rushing, saying, Blessed be the glory of Jehovah from his place! Ezek. 3:12
-- and the sound of the wings of the living creatures that touched one another, and the sound of the wheels beside them, and the sound of a great rushing. Ezek. 3:13
And the Spirit lifted me up, and took me away; and I went in bitterness, in the heat of my spirit, and the hand of Jehovah was strong upon me. Ezek. 3:14
And I came to them of the captivity at Tel-abib, that dwelt by the river Chebar, and I sat where they sat; and I sat there astonied among them seven days. Ezek. 3:15
And it came to pass at the end of seven days, that the word of Jehovah came unto me, saying, Ezek. 3:16
Son of man, I have appointed thee a watchman unto the house of Israel, and thou shalt hear the word from my mouth, and give them warning from me. Ezek. 3:17
When I say unto the wicked, Thou shalt certainly die; and thou givest him not warning, nor speakest to warn the wicked from his wicked way, that he may live: the same wicked man shall die in his iniquity; but his blood will I require at thy hand. Ezek. 3:18
But if thou warn the wicked, and he turn not from his wickedness, nor from his wicked way, he shall die in his iniquity; but thou hast delivered thy soul. Ezek. 3:19
And if thou warn the righteous man, that the righteous sin not, and he doth not sin, he shall certainly live, for he hath taken warning; and thou hast delivered thy soul. Ezek. 3:21
And the hand of Jehovah was there upon me; and he said unto me, Arise, go forth into the valley, and there I will talk with thee. Ezek. 3:22
And I arose, and went forth into the valley, and behold, the glory of Jehovah stood there, like the glory which I saw by the river Chebar; and I fell on my face. Ezek. 3:23
And the Spirit entered into me, and set me upon my feet; and he spoke with me, and said unto me, Go, shut thyself within thy house. Ezek. 3:24
And I will make thy tongue cleave to the roof of thy mouth, that thou shalt be dumb, and shalt not be to them a reprover; for they are a rebellious house. Ezek. 3:26
And when I speak with thee, I will open thy mouth, and thou shalt say unto them, Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: He that heareth, let him hear; and he that forbeareth, let him forbear: for they are a rebellious house. Ezek. 3:27
And take thou unto thee an iron plate, and put it for a wall of iron between thee and the city; and set thy face against it, and it shall be besieged, and thou shalt lay siege against it: this shall be a sign to the house of Israel. Ezek. 4:3
And thou, lie upon thy left side, and lay the iniquity of the house of Israel upon it: the number of the days that thou liest upon it, thou shalt bear their iniquity. Ezek. 4:4
And I have appointed thee the years of their iniquity, according to the number of the days, three hundred and ninety days; and thou shalt bear the iniquity of the house of Israel. Ezek. 4:5
And when thou hast accomplished them, thou shalt lie again on thy right side, and thou shalt bear the iniquity of the house of Judah forty days: I have appointed thee each day for a year. Ezek. 4:6
And thou shalt set thy face toward the siege of Jerusalem, and thine arm shall be uncovered, and thou shalt prophesy against it. Ezek. 4:7
And behold, I lay bands upon thee, and thou shalt not turn thyself from one side to the other, till thou hast ended the days of thy siege. Ezek. 4:8
And thou, take unto thee wheat, and barley, and beans, and lentils, and millet, and spelt, and put them in one vessel, and make thee bread thereof, according to the number of the days that thou liest upon thy side: three hundred and ninety days shalt thou eat thereof. Ezek. 4:9
And thou shalt drink water by measure, the sixth part of a hin: from time to time shalt thou drink. Ezek. 4:11
And Jehovah said, So shall the children of Israel eat their bread unclean among the nations whither I will drive them. Ezek. 4:13
And he said unto me, Son of man, behold, I break the staff of bread in Jerusalem; and they shall eat bread by weight, and with anxiety; and they shall drink water by measure, and with astonishment: Ezek. 4:16
And thou, son of man, take thee a sharp knife; a barber's razor shalt thou take; and cause it to pass upon thy head and upon thy beard: and thou shalt take balances to weigh, and divide the hair. Ezek. 5:1
A third part shalt thou burn in the fire in the midst of the city, when the days of the siege are fulfilled; and thou shalt take a third part, and smite about it with a knife; and a third part thou shalt scatter to the wind, and I will draw out a sword after them. Ezek. 5:2
and thou shalt take of these again, and cast them into the midst of the fire, and burn them in the fire: from it shall a fire come forth against all the house of Israel. Ezek. 5:4
Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: This is Jerusalem: I have set her in the midst of the nations, and the countries are round about her. Ezek. 5:5
And she hath rebelled against my judgments in wickedness more than the nations, and against my statutes more than the countries that are round about her: for mine ordinances have they refused; and my statutes, they have not walked in them. Ezek. 5:6
Therefore thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Because ye have been turbulent more than the nations that are round about you, and have not walked in my statutes, neither have kept mine ordinances, nor even have done according to the ordinances of the nations that are round about you; Ezek. 5:7
therefore thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Behold, I, even I, am against thee, and will execute judgments in the midst of thee in the sight of the nations; Ezek. 5:8
and I will do in thee that which I have not done, and whereunto I will not do any more the like, because of all thine abominations. Ezek. 5:9
Therefore the fathers shall eat the sons in the midst of thee, and the sons shall eat their fathers; and I will execute judgments in thee, and the whole remnant of thee will I scatter to all the winds. Ezek. 5:10
Wherefore, as I live, saith the Lord Jehovah, verily because thou hast defiled my sanctuary with all thy detestable things, and with all thine abominations, therefore will I also withdraw mine eye, and it shall not spare, nor will I have any pity. Ezek. 5:11
A third part of thee shall die by the pestilence, and shall be consumed by the famine in the midst of thee; and a third part shall fall by the sword round about thee; and I will scatter a third part to all the winds, and I will draw out a sword after them. Ezek. 5:12
And I will make thee a waste and a reproach among the nations that are round about thee, in the sight of all that pass by. Ezek. 5:14
And it shall be a reproach, and a taunt, an instruction, and an astonishment unto the nations that are round about thee, when I shall execute judgments upon thee in anger, and in fury, and in furious rebukes: I, Jehovah, have spoken. Ezek. 5:15
When I send upon them the evil arrows of famine, that are for their destruction, which I send to destroy you, then will I increase the famine upon you, and will break your staff of bread. Ezek. 5:16
And I will send upon you famine and evil beasts, which shall bereave thee of children; and pestilence and blood shall pass through thee; and I will bring the sword upon thee: I, Jehovah, have spoken. Ezek. 5:17
And the word of Jehovah came unto me, saying, Ezek. 6:1
Son of man, set thy face toward the mountains of Israel, and prophesy against them, Ezek. 6:2
and say, Mountains of Israel, hear the word of the Lord Jehovah: thus saith the Lord Jehovah to the mountains and to the hills, to the water-courses and to the valleys: Behold, I, even I, do bring a sword upon you, and will destroy your high places. Ezek. 6:3
and I will lay the dead bodies of the children of Israel before their idols; and I will scatter your bones round about your altars. Ezek. 6:5
In all your dwelling-places the cities shall be laid waste, and the high places shall be desolate; that your altars may be laid waste and made desolate, and your idols may be broken and cease, and your sun-images may be cut down, and your works may be abolished. Ezek. 6:6
And the slain shall fall in the midst of you, and ye shall know that I am Jehovah. Ezek. 6:7
Yet will I leave a remnant, in that ye shall have some escaped from the sword among the nations, when ye shall be scattered through the countries. Ezek. 6:8
And they that escape of you shall remember me among the nations whither they have been carried captives, when I shall have broken their whorish heart, which hath departed from me, and their eyes, which go a whoring after their idols; and they shall loathe themselves for the evils which they have committed, in all their abominations. Ezek. 6:9
Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Smite with thy hand, and stamp with thy foot, and say, Alas for all the abominations of the iniquities of the house of Israel! for they shall fall by the sword, by the famine, and by the pestilence. Ezek. 6:11
He that is far off shall die of the pestilence; and he that is near shall fall by the sword; and he that is left, and is besieged, shall die by the famine: and I will accomplish my fury upon them. Ezek. 6:12
And ye shall know that I am Jehovah, when their slain shall be among their idols, round about their altars, upon every high hill, on all the tops of the mountains, and under every green tree, and under every thick terebinth, the places where they offered sweet savour to all their idols. Ezek. 6:13
And I will stretch out my hand upon them, and make the land desolate, yea, more desolate than the wilderness of Diblath, in all their dwellings; and they shall know that I am Jehovah. Ezek. 6:14
And the word of Jehovah came unto me, saying, Ezek. 7:1
And thou, son of man, thus saith the Lord Jehovah unto the land of Israel: An end, the end is come upon the four corners of the land. Ezek. 7:2
Now is the end upon thee; and I will send mine anger upon thee, and will judge thee according to thy ways, and will bring upon thee all thine abominations. Ezek. 7:3
And mine eye shall not spare thee, neither will I have pity; but I will bring thy ways upon thee, and thine abominations shall be in the midst of thee; and ye shall know that I am Jehovah. Ezek. 7:4
Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: An evil, an only evil! behold, it is come. Ezek. 7:5
The end is come, the end is come; it awaketh against thee: behold, it cometh. Ezek. 7:6
The doom is come unto thee, inhabitant of the land; the time is come, the day is near, -- tumult, and not the joyous cry from the mountains. Ezek. 7:7
And mine eye shall not spare, neither will I have pity: I will render unto thee according to thy ways, and thine abominations shall be in the midst of thee; and ye shall know that it is I, Jehovah, that smite. Ezek. 7:9
Behold the day, behold, it is come: the doom is gone forth; the rod hath blossomed, pride is full blown. Ezek. 7:10
Violence is risen up into a rod of wickedness: nothing of them shall remain, nor of their multitude, nor of their wealth, nor of the magnificence in the midst of them. Ezek. 7:11
The time is come, the day draweth near: let not the buyer rejoice, nor the seller mourn; for fierce anger is upon all the multitude thereof. Ezek. 7:12
For the seller shall not return to that which is sold, even though he were yet alive amongst the living: for the vision is touching the whole multitude thereof; it shall not be revoked; and none shall through his iniquity assure his life. Ezek. 7:13
They have blown the trumpet and made all ready, but none goeth to the battle; for my fierce anger is upon all the multitude thereof. Ezek. 7:14
The sword is without, and the pestilence and the famine within: he that is in the field shall die by the sword; and he that is in the city, famine and pestilence shall devour him. Ezek. 7:15
And they that escape of them shall escape, and shall be on the mountains like doves of the valleys, all of them moaning, every one for his iniquity. Ezek. 7:16
They shall cast their silver in the streets, and their gold shall be as an impurity: their silver and their gold shall not be able to deliver them in the day of Jehovah's wrath; they shall not satisfy their souls, neither fill their belly; for it hath been the stumbling-block of their iniquity. Ezek. 7:19
And he set in majesty his beautiful ornament; but they made therein the images of their abominations and of their detestable things: therefore have I made it an impurity unto them. Ezek. 7:20
And I will give it into the hands of strangers for a prey, and to the wicked of the earth for a spoil; and they shall profane it. Ezek. 7:21
And I will turn my face from them; and they shall profane my secret place; and the violent shall enter into it, and profane it. Ezek. 7:22
Make the chain; for the land is full of bloody crimes, and the city is full of violence. Ezek. 7:23
Therefore will I bring the worst of the nations, and they shall possess their houses; and I will make the pride of the strong to cease; and their sanctuaries shall be profaned. Ezek. 7:24
Mischief shall come upon mischief, and rumour shall be upon rumour; and they shall seek a vision from a prophet; but the law shall perish from the priest, and counsel from the elders. Ezek. 7:26
The king shall mourn, and the prince shall be clothed with dismay, and the hands of the people of the land shall tremble: I will do unto them according to their way, and with their judgments will I judge them; and they shall know that I am Jehovah. Ezek. 7:27
And it came to pass in the sixth year, in the sixth month, on the fifth of the month, that as I sat in my house, and the elders of Judah sat before me, the hand of the Lord Jehovah fell there upon me. Ezek. 8:1
And I looked, and behold, a likeness as the appearance of fire; from the appearance of his loins and downward, fire; and from his loins and upward, as the appearance of brightness, as the look of glowing brass. Ezek. 8:2
And he stretched forth the form of a hand, and took me by a lock of my head; and the Spirit lifted me up between the earth and the heavens, and brought me in the visions of God to Jerusalem, to the entry of the inner gate that looketh toward the north, where was the seat of the image of jealousy, which provoketh to jealousy. Ezek. 8:3
And behold, the glory of the God of Israel was there, according to the appearance that I saw in the valley. Ezek. 8:4
And he said unto me, Son of man, lift up now thine eyes toward the north. And I lifted up mine eyes toward the north, and behold, northward of the gate of the altar, this image of jealousy in the entry. Ezek. 8:5
And he said unto me, Son of man, seest thou what they do? the great abominations that the house of Israel commit here, to cause me to go far off from my sanctuary? And yet again thou shalt see great abominations. Ezek. 8:6
And he brought me to the entry of the court, and I looked, and behold, a hole in the wall. Ezek. 8:7
And he said unto me, Son of man, dig now through the wall; and I digged through the wall, and behold, a door. Ezek. 8:8
And he said unto me, Go in, and behold the wicked abominations that they do here. Ezek. 8:9
And I went in and looked, and behold, every form of creeping thing and abominable beast, and all the idols of the house of Israel, portrayed upon the wall round about. Ezek. 8:10
And there stood before them seventy men of the elders of the house of Israel, and in the midst of them stood Jaazaniah the son of Shaphan, with every man his censer in his hand; and a thick cloud of incense went up. Ezek. 8:11
And he said unto me, Hast thou seen, son of man, what the elders of the house of Israel do in the dark, every one in his chambers of imagery? for they say, Jehovah seeth us not; Jehovah hath forsaken the land. Ezek. 8:12
And he brought me to the entry of the gate of Jehovah's house that was toward the north; and behold, there sat women weeping for Tammuz. Ezek. 8:14
And he brought me into the inner court of Jehovah's house, and behold, at the entry of the temple of Jehovah, between the porch and the altar, were about five and twenty men, with their backs toward the temple of Jehovah and their faces toward the east; and they worshipped the sun toward the east. Ezek. 8:16
And he said unto me, Seest thou, son of man? Is it a light thing to the house of Judah to commit the abominations which they commit here, that they yet fill the land with violence, and keep provoking me afresh to anger? And behold, they put the branch to their nose. Ezek. 8:17
And he cried in mine ears with a loud voice, saying, Draw near, ye that have charge of the city, and every man with his destroying weapon in his hand. Ezek. 9:1
And behold, six men came from the way of the upper gate, which is turned toward the north, and every man with his slaughter weapon in his hand; and in the midst of them, one man clothed with linen, with a writer's ink-horn by his side; and they went in, and stood beside the brazen altar. Ezek. 9:2
And the glory of the God of Israel was gone up from the cherub, whereupon it was, to the threshold of the house; and he called to the man clothed with linen, who had the writer's ink-horn by his side; Ezek. 9:3
and Jehovah said unto him, Go through the midst of the city, through the midst of Jerusalem, and set a mark upon the foreheads of the men that sigh and that cry for all the abominations that are done in the midst thereof. Ezek. 9:4
And to the others he said in my hearing, Go after him through the city, and smite: let not your eye spare, neither have pity. Ezek. 9:5
Slay utterly the old man, the young man, and the maiden, and little children, and women; but come not near any man upon whom is the mark; and begin at my sanctuary. Then they began at the elders who were before the house. Ezek. 9:6
And he said unto them, Defile the house, and fill the courts with the slain: go forth. And they went forth, and smote in the city. Ezek. 9:7
And it came to pass, while they were smiting, and I was left, that I fell upon my face, and cried, and said, Ah, Lord Jehovah! wilt thou destroy all the remnant of Israel in thy pouring out of thy fury upon Jerusalem? Ezek. 9:8
And he said unto me, The iniquity of the house of Israel and Judah is exceeding great, and the land is full of blood, and the city full of perverseness; for they say, Jehovah hath forsaken the earth, and Jehovah seeth not. Ezek. 9:9
And behold, the man clothed with linen, who had the ink-horn by his side, reported the matter, saying, I have done as thou hast commanded me. Ezek. 9:11
And I looked, and behold, in the expanse that was over the head of the cherubim there appeared above them as it were a sapphire stone, as the appearance of the likeness of a throne. Ezek. 10:1
And he spoke unto the man clothed with linen, and said, Come in between the wheels, under the cherub, and fill the hollow of thy hands with coals of fire from between the cherubim, and scatter them over the city. And he went in in my sight. Ezek. 10:2
And the cherubim stood on the right side of the house, when the man went in; and the cloud filled the inner court. Ezek. 10:3
And the glory of Jehovah mounted up from the cherub, and came over the threshold of the house; and the house was filled with the cloud, and the court was full of the brightness of Jehovah's glory. Ezek. 10:4
And the sound of the wings of the cherubim was heard to the outer court, as the voice of the Almighty *God when he speaketh. Ezek. 10:5
And it came to pass when he had commanded the man clothed with linen, saying, Take fire from between the wheels, from between the cherubim, then he went in, and stood beside the wheel. Ezek. 10:6
And the cherub stretched forth his hand from between the cherubim unto the fire that was between the cherubim, and took and put it into the hands of him that was clothed with linen; who took it, and went out. Ezek. 10:7
And there appeared in the cherubim the form of a man's hand under their wings. Ezek. 10:8
And I looked, and behold, four wheels beside the cherubim, one wheel beside one cherub, and another wheel beside another cherub; and the appearance of the wheels was as the look of a chrysolite stone. Ezek. 10:9
And as for their appearance, they four had one likeness, as if a wheel were in the midst of a wheel. Ezek. 10:10
When they went, they went upon their four sides; they turned not as they went, but to the place whither the head looked they followed it: they turned not as they went. Ezek. 10:11
And their whole body, and their backs, and their hands, and their wings, and the wheels were full of eyes round about, in them four and their wheels. Ezek. 10:12
As for the wheels, they were called in my hearing, Galgal. Ezek. 10:13
And every one had four faces: the first face was the face of a cherub, and the second face the face of a man, and the third the face of a lion, and the fourth the face of an eagle. Ezek. 10:14
And the cherubim mounted up. This was the living creature that I saw by the river Chebar. Ezek. 10:15
And when the cherubim went, the wheels went beside them; and when the cherubim lifted up their wings to mount up from the earth, the same wheels also turned not from beside them. Ezek. 10:16
When they stood, these stood; and when they mounted up, these mounted up with them: for the spirit of the living creature was in them. Ezek. 10:17
And the glory of Jehovah departed from over the threshold of the house, and stood over the cherubim. Ezek. 10:18
And the cherubim lifted up their wings, and mounted up from the earth in my sight, when they went out; and the wheels were beside them; and they stood at the door of the east gate of Jehovah's house; and the glory of the God of Israel was over them above. Ezek. 10:19
This is the living creature that I saw under the God of Israel by the river Chebar; and I knew that they were cherubim. Ezek. 10:20
Each one had four faces, and every one four wings; and the likeness of the hands of a man was under their wings. Ezek. 10:21
And as for the likeness of their faces, they were the faces which I had seen by the river Chebar -- their appearance and themselves: they went every one straight before them. Ezek. 10:22
And the Spirit lifted me up, and brought me unto the east gate of Jehovah's house, which looketh eastward; and behold, at the door of the gate were five and twenty men; and I saw in the midst of them Jaazaniah the son of Azzur, and Pelatiah the son of Benaiah, princes of the people. Ezek. 11:1
And he said unto me, Son of man, these are the men that devise iniquity, and give wicked counsel in this city: Ezek. 11:2
who say, It is not the time to build houses: this is the cauldron, and we are the flesh. Ezek. 11:3
And the Spirit of Jehovah fell on me, and said unto me, Speak, Thus saith Jehovah: Thus have ye said, O house of Israel; and the things that come into your mind, I know them. Ezek. 11:5
Ye have multiplied your slain in this city, and ye have filled the streets thereof with the slain. Ezek. 11:6
Therefore thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Your slain whom ye have laid in the midst of it, they are the flesh, and it is the cauldron; but you will I bring forth out of the midst of it. Ezek. 11:7
Ye have feared the sword, and I will bring a sword upon you, saith the Lord Jehovah. Ezek. 11:8
And I will bring you out of the midst of it, and give you into the hands of strangers, and will execute judgments among you. Ezek. 11:9
Ye shall fall by the sword; I will judge you in the borders of Israel; and ye shall know that I am Jehovah. Ezek. 11:10
This shall not be your cauldron, neither shall ye be the flesh in the midst of it: I will judge you in the borders of Israel; Ezek. 11:11
and ye shall know that I am Jehovah, in whose statutes ye have not walked, neither have done mine ordinances, but have done after the ordinances of the nations that are round about you. Ezek. 11:12
And it came to pass, when I prophesied, that Pelatiah the son of Benaiah died. And I fell down on my face, and cried with a loud voice, and said, Ah, Lord Jehovah! wilt thou make a full end of the remnant of Israel? Ezek. 11:13
And the word of Jehovah came unto me, saying, Ezek. 11:14
Son of man, it is thy brethren, thy brethren, the men of thy kindred, and all the house of Israel, the whole of it, unto whom the inhabitants of Jerusalem say, Get you far from Jehovah: unto us is this land given for a possession. Ezek. 11:15
Therefore say, Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Although I have removed them far off among the nations, and although I have scattered them among the countries, yet will I be to them as a little sanctuary in the countries whither they are come. Ezek. 11:16
Therefore say, Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: I will even gather you from the peoples, and assemble you out of the countries where ye are scattered, and I will give you the land of Israel. Ezek. 11:17
And I will give them one heart, and I will put a new spirit within you; and I will take away the stony heart out of their flesh, and will give them a heart of flesh; Ezek. 11:19
But as for them whose heart walketh well-pleased with their detestable things and their abominations, I will recompense their way upon their heads, saith the Lord Jehovah. Ezek. 11:21
And the cherubim lifted up their wings, and the wheels were beside them; and the glory of the God of Israel was over them above. Ezek. 11:22
And the glory of Jehovah went up from the midst of the city, and stood upon the mountain which is on the east side of the city. Ezek. 11:23
And the Spirit lifted me up, and brought me in the vision by the Spirit of God into Chaldea, to them of the captivity; and the vision that I had seen went up from me. Ezek. 11:24
And I spoke unto them of the captivity all the things that Jehovah had shewn me. Ezek. 11:25
And the word of Jehovah came unto me, saying, Ezek. 12:1
Son of man, thou dwellest in the midst of a rebellious house, which have eyes to see, and see not, which have ears to hear, and hear not; for they are a rebellious house. Ezek. 12:2
Dig thou through the wall in their sight, and carry out thereby. Ezek. 12:5
In their sight shalt thou bear it upon thy shoulder, and carry it forth in the dark; thou shalt cover thy face, and thou shalt not see the ground: for I have appointed thee for a sign unto the house of Israel. Ezek. 12:6
And I did so as I was commanded: I brought forth my baggage by day, as a captive's baggage, and in the even I digged through the wall with my hand; I brought it forth in the dark, and bore it upon my shoulder, in their sight. Ezek. 12:7
And in the morning the word of Jehovah came unto me, saying, Ezek. 12:8
Son of man, hath not the house of Israel, the rebellious house, said unto thee, What doest thou? Ezek. 12:9
Say unto them, Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: This burden concerneth the prince in Jerusalem, and all the house of Israel that are among them. Ezek. 12:10
And the prince that is among them shall bear upon his shoulder in the dark, and shall go forth; they shall dig through the wall to carry out thereby; he shall cover his face, that he see not the land with his eyes. Ezek. 12:12
And I will spread my net upon him, and he shall be taken in my snare; and I will bring him to Babylon to the land of the Chaldeans; but he shall not see it, and there shall he die. Ezek. 12:13
And I will scatter toward every wind all that are about him to help him, and all his troops; and I will draw out the sword after them. Ezek. 12:14
And they shall know that I am Jehovah when I shall scatter them among the nations and disperse them through the countries. Ezek. 12:15
But I will leave a few men of them from the sword, from the famine, and from the pestilence; that they may declare all their abominations among the nations whither they shall come; and they shall know that I am Jehovah. Ezek. 12:16
And the word of Jehovah came to me, saying, Ezek. 12:17
and say unto the people of the land, Thus saith the Lord Jehovah concerning the inhabitants of Jerusalem, in the land of Israel: They shall eat their bread with anxiety, and drink their water with astonishment, because her land shall be left desolate of all that is in it, for the violence of all them that dwell therein. Ezek. 12:19
And the cities that are inhabited shall be laid waste, and the land shall be a desolation; and ye shall know that I am Jehovah. Ezek. 12:20
And the word of Jehovah came unto me, saying, Ezek. 12:21
Son of man, what is that proverb which ye have in the land of Israel, saying, The days shall be prolonged, and every vision faileth? Ezek. 12:22
Tell them therefore, Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: I will make this proverb to cease, and they shall no more use it as a proverb in Israel; but say unto them, The days are at hand, and the accomplishment of every vision. Ezek. 12:23
For there shall be no more any vain vision nor flattering divination in the midst of the house of Israel. Ezek. 12:24
For I am Jehovah; I will speak, and the word that I shall speak shall be performed, it shall be no more deferred. For in your days, O rebellious house, will I speak the word and will perform it, saith the Lord Jehovah. Ezek. 12:25
And the word of Jehovah came unto me, saying, Ezek. 12:26
Son of man, behold, they of the house of Israel say, The vision that he seeth is for many days, and he prophesieth of times that are far off. Ezek. 12:27
Therefore say unto them, Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: There shall none of my words be deferred any more, but the word that I have spoken shall be done, saith the Lord Jehovah. Ezek. 12:28
And the word of Jehovah came unto me, saying: Ezek. 13:1
Son of man, prophesy against the prophets of Israel that prophesy, and say unto them that prophesy out of their own heart, Hear ye the word of Jehovah. Ezek. 13:2
Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Woe unto the foolish prophets, that follow their own spirit, and have seen nothing! Ezek. 13:3
Ye have not gone up into the breaches, nor made up the fence for the house of Israel, to stand in the battle in the day of Jehovah. Ezek. 13:5
They have seen vanity and lying divination, that say, Jehovah saith! and Jehovah hath not sent them; and they make them to hope that the word will be fulfilled. Ezek. 13:6
Therefore thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Because ye speak vanity, and have seen lies, therefore behold, I am against you, saith the Lord Jehovah. Ezek. 13:8
And my hand shall be against the prophets that see vanity and that divine lies: they shall not be in the council of my people, neither shall they be written in the register of the house of Israel, and they shall not enter into the land of Israel: and ye shall know that I am the Lord Jehovah. Ezek. 13:9
And lo, when the wall is fallen, shall it not be said unto you, Where is the daubing with which ye have daubed it? Ezek. 13:12
Therefore thus saith the Lord Jehovah: I will cause to burst forth a stormy wind in my fury; and there shall be an overflowing rain in mine anger, and hail-stones in fury for utter destruction. Ezek. 13:13
And I will break down the wall that ye have daubed with untempered mortar, and bring it down to the ground, so that the foundation thereof shall be discovered; and it shall fall, and ye shall be destroyed in the midst thereof; and ye shall know that I am Jehovah. Ezek. 13:14
And I will accomplish my fury upon the wall, and upon them that daub it with untempered mortar, and will say unto you, The wall is no more, neither they that daubed it, Ezek. 13:15
the prophets of Israel who prophesy concerning Jerusalem, and who see a vision of peace for her, and there is no peace, saith the Lord Jehovah. Ezek. 13:16
And thou, son of man, set thy face against the daughters of thy people, who prophesy out of their own heart; and prophesy against them, Ezek. 13:17
and say, Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Woe unto the women that sew pillows for all wrists, and that make veils for the head of persons of every stature to catch souls! Will ye catch the souls of my people, and will ye save your own souls alive? Ezek. 13:18
And will ye profane me among my people for handfuls of barley and for morsels of bread, to slay the souls that should not die, and to save the souls alive that should not live, by your lying to my people that listen to lying? Ezek. 13:19
Wherefore thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Behold, I am against your pillows, that the souls which ye catch by their means may fly away; and I will tear them from your arms, and will let the souls go, the souls that ye catch, that they may fly away. Ezek. 13:20
Because with falsehood ye have grieved the heart of the righteous, whom I have not made sad; and have strengthened the hands of the wicked, that he should not return from his wicked way, to save his life: Ezek. 13:22
And there came certain of the elders of Israel unto me, and sat before me. Ezek. 14:1
And the word of Jehovah came unto me, saying, Ezek. 14:2
Son of man, these men have set up their idols in their heart, and put the stumbling-block of their iniquity before their face: should I be inquired of at all by them? Ezek. 14:3
Therefore speak to them, and say unto them, Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Every man of the house of Israel that setteth up his idols in his heart, and putteth the stumbling-block of his iniquity before his face, and cometh to the prophet, I Jehovah will answer him according to this, according to the multitude of his idols: Ezek. 14:4
that I may take the house of Israel by their own heart, because they are all estranged from me through their idols. Ezek. 14:5
Therefore say unto the house of Israel, Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Return ye, and turn yourselves from your idols; and turn away your faces from all your abominations. Ezek. 14:6
For every one of the house of Israel, or of the strangers that sojourn in Israel, who separateth himself from me, and setteth up his idols in his heart, and putteth the stumbling-block of his iniquity before his face, and cometh to the prophet to inquire of me by him, I Jehovah will answer him by myself; Ezek. 14:7
and I will set my face against that man, and will make him desolate, so that he shall be for a sign and for proverbs, and I will cut him off from the midst of my people: and ye shall know that I am Jehovah. Ezek. 14:8
And if the prophet be enticed and shall speak a word, I Jehovah have enticed that prophet; and I will stretch out my hand against him, and will destroy him from the midst of my people Israel. Ezek. 14:9
And they shall bear their iniquity: the iniquity of the prophet shall be even as the iniquity of the inquirer; Ezek. 14:10
that the house of Israel may go no more astray from me, neither make themselves any more unclean with all their transgressions; and they shall be my people, and I will be their God, saith the Lord Jehovah. Ezek. 14:11
And the word of Jehovah came unto me, saying, Ezek. 14:12
Son of man, when a land sinneth against me by working unfaithfulness, and I stretch out my hand upon it, and break the staff of the bread thereof, and send famine upon it, and cut off man and beast from it; Ezek. 14:13
though these three men, Noah, Daniel, and Job, should be in it, they should deliver but their own souls by their righteousness, saith the Lord Jehovah. Ezek. 14:14
If I cause evil beasts to pass through the land, and they bereave it, and it become a desolation, so that no one passeth through because of the beasts; Ezek. 14:15
-- though these three men should be in it, as I live, saith the Lord Jehovah, they should deliver neither sons nor daughters: they only should be delivered, and the land should be a desolation. Ezek. 14:16
Or if I bring the sword upon that land, and say, Sword, go through the land, so that I cut off man and beast from it, Ezek. 14:17
and these three men should be in it, as I live, saith the Lord Jehovah, they should deliver neither sons nor daughters, but they only themselves should be delivered. Ezek. 14:18
and Noah, Daniel, and Job should be in it, as I live, saith the Lord Jehovah, they should deliver neither son nor daughter: they should but deliver their own souls by their righteousness. Ezek. 14:20
For thus saith the Lord Jehovah: How much more when I send my four sore judgments upon Jerusalem, the sword, and the famine, and the evil beast, and the pestilence, to cut off from it man and beast! Ezek. 14:21
But behold, there shall be left in it those that escape, who shall be brought out of it, sons and daughters. Behold, they shall come forth unto you, and ye shall see their way and their doings; and ye shall be comforted concerning the evil that I have brought upon Jerusalem, as to all that I have brought upon it. Ezek. 14:22
And they shall comfort you, when ye see their way and their doings; and ye shall know that I have not done without cause all that I have done in it, saith the Lord Jehovah. Ezek. 14:23
And the word of Jehovah came unto me, saying, Ezek. 15:1
Son of man, what is the wood of the vine more than any wood, the vine-branch, which is among the trees of the forest? Ezek. 15:2
Behold, it is given to the fire for fuel: the fire consumeth both the ends of it, and the midst of it is burned; is it fit for any work? Ezek. 15:4
Behold, when it was whole, it was used for no work; how much less when the fire hath consumed it, and it is burned, should it yet be used for any work? Ezek. 15:5
Therefore thus saith the Lord Jehovah: As the wood of the vine among the trees of the forest, which I have given to the fire for fuel, so will I give the inhabitants of Jerusalem. Ezek. 15:6
And I will make the land a desolation, because they have wrought unfaithfulness, saith the Lord Jehovah. Ezek. 15:8
And the word of Jehovah came unto me, saying, Ezek. 16:1
and say, Thus saith the Lord Jehovah unto Jerusalem: Thy birth and thy nativity is of the land of the Canaanite: thy father was an Amorite, and thy mother a Hittite. Ezek. 16:3
And as for thy nativity, in the day thou wast born thy navel was not cut, neither wast thou washed in water for cleansing; thou wast not rubbed with salt at all, nor swaddled at all. Ezek. 16:4
No eye pitied thee, to do any of these unto thee, to have compassion upon thee; but thou wast cast out in the open field, from abhorrence of thy person, in the day that thou wast born. Ezek. 16:5
I caused thee to multiply, as the bud of the field; and thou didst increase and grow great, and thou camest to fulness of beauty; thy breasts were fashioned, and thy hair grew: but thou wast naked and bare. Ezek. 16:7
And I passed by thee, and looked upon thee, and behold, thy time was the time of love; and I spread my skirt over thee, and covered thy nakedness; and I swore unto thee, and entered into a covenant with thee, saith the Lord Jehovah, and thou becamest mine. Ezek. 16:8
And thy fame went forth among the nations for thy beauty; for it was perfect through my magnificence, which I had put upon thee, saith the Lord Jehovah. Ezek. 16:14
But thou didst confide in thy beauty, and playedst the harlot because of thy renown, and pouredst out thy whoredoms on every one that passed by: his it was. Ezek. 16:15
And of thy garments thou didst take, and madest for thyself high places decked with divers colours, and didst play the harlot thereupon: the like hath not come to pass, and shall be no more. Ezek. 16:16
And my bread which I had given thee, the fine flour and the oil and the honey wherewith I fed thee, thou didst even set it before them for a sweet savour: thus it was, saith the Lord Jehovah. Ezek. 16:19
And in all thine abominations and thy whoredoms thou hast not remembered the days of thy youth, when thou wast naked and bare, when thou wast weltering in thy blood. Ezek. 16:22
And it came to pass after all thy wickedness (woe, woe unto thee! saith the Lord Jehovah), Ezek. 16:23
thou didst build thy high place at every head of the way, and madest thy beauty to be abhorred, and thou didst open thy feet to every one that passed by, and multiply thy whoredom. Ezek. 16:25
And thou didst commit fornication with the Egyptians thy neighbours, great of flesh; and didst multiply thy whoredom to provoke me to anger. Ezek. 16:26
And behold, I stretched out my hand over thee, and diminished thine appointed portion; and I gave thee over unto the will of them that hate thee, the daughters of the Philistines, who were confounded at thy lewd way. Ezek. 16:27
And thou didst commit fornication with the Assyrians, because thou wast insatiable; yea, thou didst commit fornication with them, and yet couldest not be satisfied. Ezek. 16:28
And thou didst multiply thy whoredom with the land of merchants, Chaldea, and yet thou wast not satisfied herewith. Ezek. 16:29
How weak is thy heart, saith the Lord Jehovah, seeing thou doest all these things, the work of a whorish woman, under no restraint; Ezek. 16:30
in that thou buildest thy place of debauchery at the head of every way, and makest thy high place in every street! And thou hast not been as a harlot, in that thou scornest reward, Ezek. 16:31
And in thee is the contrary from other women, in thy whoredoms, in that none followeth thee to commit fornication; and whereas thou givest a reward, and no reward is given unto thee, so art thou contrary. Ezek. 16:34
Therefore, O harlot, hear the word of Jehovah. Ezek. 16:35
Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Because thy money hath been poured out, and thy nakedness discovered through thy fornications with thy lovers, and with all the idols of thine abominations, and because of the blood of thy children which thou didst give unto them; Ezek. 16:36
And I will judge thee with the judgments of women that commit adultery and shed blood; and I will give thee up to the blood of fury and jealousy; Ezek. 16:38
And they shall burn thy houses with fire, and execute judgments upon thee in the sight of many women; and I will cause thee to cease from being a harlot, and thou also shalt give no more any reward. Ezek. 16:41
Because thou hast not remembered the days of thy youth, but hast raged against me in all these things, behold, therefore, I also will recompense thy way upon thy head, saith the Lord Jehovah, and thou shalt not commit this lewdness besides all thine abominations. Ezek. 16:43
Behold, every one that useth proverbs shall speak in a proverb against thee, saying, As the mother, so is her daughter! Ezek. 16:44
Thou art the daughter of thy mother that loathed her husband and her children; and thou art the sister of thy sisters, who loathed their husbands and their children. Your mother was a Hittite, and your father an Amorite. Ezek. 16:45
As I live, saith the Lord Jehovah, Sodom thy sister hath not done, she nor her daughters, as thou hast done, thou and thy daughters! Ezek. 16:48
Behold, this was the iniquity of thy sister Sodom: pride, fulness of bread, and careless ease was in her and in her daughters, but she did not strengthen the hand of the poor and needy. Ezek. 16:49
And Samaria hath not sinned according to the half of thy sins; but thou hast multiplied thine abominations more than they, and hast justified thy sisters by all thine abominations which thou hast done. Ezek. 16:51
And I will bring again their captivity, the captivity of Sodom and her daughters, and the captivity of Samaria and her daughters, and the captivity of thy captives in the midst of them; Ezek. 16:53
Yea, Sodom thy sister was not mentioned by thy mouth in the day of thy pride, Ezek. 16:56
before thy wickedness was discovered, as at the time of the reproach of the daughters of Syria, and of all that are round about her, the daughters of the Philistines, who despise thee on every side. Ezek. 16:57
For thus saith the Lord Jehovah: I will even deal with thee as thou hast done, who hast despised the oath, and broken the covenant. Ezek. 16:59
Nevertheless I will remember my covenant with thee in the days of thy youth, and I will establish unto thee an everlasting covenant. Ezek. 16:60
that thou mayest remember, and be ashamed, and no more open thy mouth because of thy confusion, when I forgive thee all that thou hast done, saith the Lord Jehovah. Ezek. 16:63
And the word of Jehovah came unto me, saying, Ezek. 17:1
Son of man, put forth a riddle, and speak a parable unto the house of Israel, Ezek. 17:2
and say, Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: A great eagle with great wings, long-pinioned, full of feathers, which was of divers colours, came unto Lebanon, and took the highest branch of the cedar. Ezek. 17:3
He cropped off the top of its young shoots, and carried it into a merchants' land; he set it in a city of traders. Ezek. 17:4
And he took of the seed of the land, and planted it in a fruitful field; he placed it by great waters, he set it as a willow tree. Ezek. 17:5
And it grew, and became a spreading vine of low stature, so that its branches should turn toward him, and the roots thereof be under him; and it became a vine, and brought forth branches, and shot forth sprigs. Ezek. 17:6
And there was another great eagle with great wings and many feathers; and behold, from the beds of her plantation, this vine did bend her roots unto him, and shot forth her branches toward him, that he might water it. Ezek. 17:7
Say, Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Shall it prosper? Shall he not pull up its roots, and cut off its fruit, that it may wither? All its fresh sprouting leaves shall wither, even without a great arm and many people to pluck it up by its roots. Ezek. 17:9
And behold, being planted, shall it prosper? shall it not utterly wither when the east wind toucheth it? It shall wither in the beds where it grew. Ezek. 17:10
And the word of Jehovah came unto me, saying, Ezek. 17:11
Say now to the rebellious house, Know ye not what these things are? Say, Behold, the king of Babylon came to Jerusalem, and took its king and its princes, and led them with him to Babylon. Ezek. 17:12
And he took of the king's seed, and made a covenant with him, and brought him under an oath, and he took away the mighty of the land; Ezek. 17:13
that the kingdom might be abased, that it might not lift itself up, that it might keep his covenant in order to stand. Ezek. 17:14
But he rebelled against him in sending his ambassadors into Egypt, that they might give him horses and much people. Shall he prosper? shall he escape that doeth such things? shall he break the covenant, and yet escape? Ezek. 17:15
As I live, saith the Lord Jehovah, verily in the place of the king that made him king, whose oath he despised, and whose covenant he broke, even with him, in the midst of Babylon, shall he die. Ezek. 17:16
Neither shall Pharaoh with a mighty army and a great assemblage do anything for him in the war, when they cast up mounds and build forts to cut off many persons. Ezek. 17:17
He despised the oath, and broke the covenant; and behold, he had given his hand, yet hath he done all these things: he shall not escape. Ezek. 17:18
Therefore thus saith the Lord Jehovah: As I live, verily, mine oath which he hath despised, and my covenant which he hath broken, even it will I recompense upon his head. Ezek. 17:19
And all his fugitives with all his bands shall fall by the sword, and they that remain shall be scattered toward every wind; and ye shall know that I Jehovah have spoken. Ezek. 17:21
Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: I will also take of the highest branch of the lofty cedar, and will set it; I will crop off from the top of its young shoots a tender one, and I will plant it upon a high and eminent mountain: Ezek. 17:22
upon the mountain of the height of Israel will I plant it; and it shall bring forth branches, and bear fruit, and become a noble cedar; and under it shall dwell all birds of every wing; in the shadow of the branches thereof shall they dwell. Ezek. 17:23
And all the trees of the field shall know that I Jehovah have brought down the high tree, have exalted the low tree, have dried up the green tree, and made the dry tree to flourish: I Jehovah have spoken, and will do it. Ezek. 17:24
And the word of Jehovah came unto me, saying, Ezek. 18:1
What mean ye, ye who use this proverb of the land of Israel, saying, The fathers eat sour grapes, and the children's teeth are set on edge? Ezek. 18:2
As I live, saith the Lord Jehovah, ye shall not have any more to use this proverb in Israel. Ezek. 18:3
Behold, all the souls are mine; as the soul of the father, so also the soul of the son is mine: the soul that sinneth, it shall die. Ezek. 18:4
-- he hath not eaten upon the mountains, nor lifted up his eyes to the idols of the house of Israel, neither hath defiled his neighbour's wife, nor come near to a woman in her separation, Ezek. 18:6
and hath not oppressed any; he hath restored to the debtor his pledge, hath not exercised robbery, hath given his bread to the hungry, and covered the naked with a garment; Ezek. 18:7
hath walked in my statutes, and kept mine ordinances, to deal faithfully: he is righteous, he shall certainly live, saith the Lord Jehovah. Ezek. 18:9
and that doeth not any of those duties, but also hath eaten upon the mountains, and defiled his neighbour's wife, Ezek. 18:11
hath oppressed the poor and needy, exercised robbery, hath not restored the pledge, and hath lifted up his eyes to the idols, committed abomination, Ezek. 18:12
-- he hath not eaten upon the mountains, nor lifted up his eyes to the idols of the house of Israel; he hath not defiled his neighbour's wife, Ezek. 18:15
and hath not oppressed any, nor withholden the pledge, neither hath exercised robbery; he hath given his bread to the hungry, and covered the naked with a garment; Ezek. 18:16
he hath withdrawn his hand from the poor, hath not received usury nor increase, hath executed my judgments, and walked in my statutes: he shall not die for the iniquity of his father, he shall certainly live. Ezek. 18:17
And ye say, Why doth not the son bear the iniquity of the father? But the son hath done judgment and justice, hath kept all my statutes, and hath done them; he shall certainly live. Ezek. 18:19
The soul that sinneth, it shall die. The son shall not bear the iniquity of the father, neither shall the father bear the iniquity of the son; the righteousness of the righteous shall be upon him, and the wickedness of the wicked shall be upon him. Ezek. 18:20
And the wicked, if he turn from all his sins which he hath committed, and keep all my statutes, and do judgment and justice, he shall certainly live, he shall not die. Ezek. 18:21
Have I any pleasure at all in the death of the wicked? saith the Lord Jehovah; is it not in his turning from his way, that he may live? Ezek. 18:23
And when the righteous turneth from his righteousness and practiseth what is wrong, and doeth according to all the abominations that the wicked doeth, shall he live? None of his righteous acts which he hath done shall be remembered: in his unfaithfulness which he hath wrought, and in his sin which he hath sinned, in them shall he die. Ezek. 18:24
And ye say, The way of the Lord is not equal. Hear then, house of Israel. Is not my way equal? are not your ways unequal? Ezek. 18:25
When the righteous turneth away from his righteousness, and practiseth what is wrong, and dieth for it; in his wrong that he hath done shall he die. Ezek. 18:26
And when the wicked turneth from his wickedness which he hath committed, and doeth judgment and justice, he shall keep his soul alive. Ezek. 18:27
But the house of Israel say, The way of the Lord is not equal. O house of Israel, are not my ways equal? Is it not your ways that are unequal? Ezek. 18:29
Therefore I will judge you, house of Israel, every one according to his ways, saith the Lord Jehovah. Return ye, and turn from all your transgressions; so iniquity shall not be your snare. Ezek. 18:30
For I have no pleasure in the death of him that dieth, saith the Lord Jehovah; therefore turn ye and live. Ezek. 18:32
And thou, take thou up a lamentation for the princes of Israel, Ezek. 19:1
and say, What was thy mother? A lioness: she lay down among lions, she nourished her whelps in the midst of the young lions. Ezek. 19:2
And she brought up one of her whelps; it became a young lion, and he learned to catch the prey; he devoured men. Ezek. 19:3
And the nations heard of him; he was taken in their pit, and they brought him with nose-rings into the land of Egypt. Ezek. 19:4
And he went up and down among the lions; he became a young lion, and learned to catch the prey; he devoured men. Ezek. 19:6
And he knew their desolate palaces, and he laid waste their cities, so that the land was desolate, and all it contained, by the noise of his roaring. Ezek. 19:7
Then the nations set against him on every side from the provinces, and spread their net over him; he was taken in their pit. Ezek. 19:8
And they put him in a cage with nose-rings, and brought him to the king of Babylon; they brought him into strongholds, that his voice should no more be heard upon the mountains of Israel. Ezek. 19:9
Thy mother was as a vine, in thy rest, planted by the waters: it was fruitful and full of branches by reason of many waters. Ezek. 19:10
And it had strong rods for sceptres of them that bear rule, and its stature was exalted between the thick boughs; and it was conspicuous by its height with the multitude of its branches. Ezek. 19:11
But it was plucked up in fury, it was cast down to the ground, and the east wind dried up its fruit; its strong rods were broken and withered; the fire consumed them. Ezek. 19:12
And now it is planted in the wilderness, in a dry and thirsty ground: Ezek. 19:13
And it came to pass in the seventh year, in the fifth month, the tenth of the month, that certain of the elders of Israel came to inquire of Jehovah, and they sat before me. Ezek. 20:1
And the word of Jehovah came unto me, saying, Ezek. 20:2
Son of man, speak unto the elders of Israel, and say unto them, Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Are ye come to inquire of me? As I live, saith the Lord Jehovah, I will not be inquired of by you. Ezek. 20:3
Wilt thou judge them, wilt thou judge, son of man? Cause them to know the abominations of their fathers, Ezek. 20:4
and say unto them, Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: In the day when I chose Israel, and lifted up my hand unto the seed of the house of Jacob, and made myself known unto them in the land of Egypt, when I lifted up my hand unto them, saying, I am Jehovah your God, Ezek. 20:5
in that day I lifted up my hand unto them, to bring them out of the land of Egypt into a land that I had espied for them, flowing with milk and honey, which is the ornament of all lands; Ezek. 20:6
and I said unto them, Cast ye away every man the abominations of his eyes, and defile not yourselves with the idols of Egypt: I am Jehovah your God. Ezek. 20:7
But they rebelled against me, and would not hearken unto me: none of them cast away the abominations of his eyes, neither did they forsake the idols of Egypt. Then I thought to pour out my fury upon them, so as to accomplish mine anger against them in the midst of the land of Egypt. Ezek. 20:8
But I wrought for my name's sake, that it should not be profaned in the sight of the nations among whom they were, in whose sight I had made myself known unto them in bringing them forth out of the land of Egypt. Ezek. 20:9
And I caused them to go forth out of the land of Egypt, and brought them into the wilderness. Ezek. 20:10
But the house of Israel rebelled against me in the wilderness: they walked not in my statutes, and they rejected mine ordinances, which if a man do, he shall live by them; and my sabbaths they greatly profaned: and I said I would pour out my fury upon them in the wilderness, to consume them. Ezek. 20:13
But I wrought for my name's sake, that it should not be profaned in the sight of the nations, in whose sight I had brought them out. Ezek. 20:14
And I also lifted up my hand unto them in the wilderness, that I would not bring them into the land that I had given them, flowing with milk and honey, which is the ornament of all lands; Ezek. 20:15
But mine eye spared them so as not to destroy them, neither did I make a full end of them in the wilderness. Ezek. 20:17
And I said unto their children in the wilderness, Walk not in the statutes of your fathers, neither keep their ordinances, nor defile yourselves with their idols. Ezek. 20:18
And the children rebelled against me: they walked not in my statutes, neither kept mine ordinances to do them, which if a man do, he shall live by them; they profaned my sabbaths: and I said I would pour out my fury upon them, to accomplish mine anger against them in the wilderness. Ezek. 20:21
But I withdrew my hand, and wrought for my name's sake, that it should not be profaned in the sight of the nations, in whose sight I had brought them out. Ezek. 20:22
I lifted up my hand also unto them in the wilderness, that I would scatter them among the nations, and disperse them through the countries; Ezek. 20:23
and I defiled them by their own gifts, in that they devoted all that opened the womb, that I might make them desolate, to the end that they might know that I am Jehovah. Ezek. 20:26
Therefore, son of man, speak unto the house of Israel, and say unto them, Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: In this moreover have your fathers blasphemed me, in that they have wrought unfaithfulness against me. Ezek. 20:27
When I had brought them into the land which I had lifted up my hand to give unto them, then they saw every high hill and all the thick trees, and they offered there their sacrifices, and there they presented the provocation of their offering; and there they placed their sweet savour, and there poured out their drink-offerings. Ezek. 20:28
And I said unto them, What is the high place whither ye go? And the name thereof is called Bamah unto this day. Ezek. 20:29
Therefore say unto the house of Israel, Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Do ye defile yourselves after the manner of your fathers? and do ye commit fornication after their abominations? Ezek. 20:30
And when ye offer your gifts, making your sons to pass through the fire, ye defile yourselves with all your idols, even unto this day; and shall I be inquired of by you, O house of Israel? As I live, saith the Lord Jehovah, I will not be inquired of by you. Ezek. 20:31
And that which cometh into your mind shall not be at all, that ye say, We will be as the nations, as the families of the countries, in serving wood and stone. Ezek. 20:32
As I live, saith the Lord Jehovah, verily with a mighty hand, and with an outstretched arm, and with fury poured out, will I reign over you. Ezek. 20:33
And I will bring you out from the peoples, and will gather you out of the countries wherein ye are scattered, with a mighty hand, and with an outstretched arm, and with fury poured out; Ezek. 20:34
and I will bring you into the wilderness of the peoples, and there will I enter into judgment with you face to face. Ezek. 20:35
Like as I entered into judgment with your fathers in the wilderness of the land of Egypt, so will I enter into judgment with you, saith the Lord Jehovah. Ezek. 20:36
And I will cause you to pass under the rod, and I will bring you into the bond of the covenant. Ezek. 20:37
And I will purge out from among you the rebels, and them that transgress against me; I will bring them forth out of the country where they sojourn, but they shall not enter into the land of Israel: and ye shall know that I am Jehovah. Ezek. 20:38
As for you, O house of Israel, thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Go ye, serve every one his idols henceforth also, if none of you will hearken unto me; but profane my holy name no more with your gifts and with your idols. Ezek. 20:39
For in my holy mountain, in the mountain of the height of Israel, saith the Lord Jehovah, there shall all the house of Israel serve me, the whole of it, in the land; there will I accept them, and there will I require your heave-offerings and the first-fruits of your offerings, with all your holy things. Ezek. 20:40
As a sweet savour will I accept you, when I bring you out from the peoples, and gather you out of the countries wherein ye have been scattered; and I will be hallowed in you in the sight of the nations. Ezek. 20:41
And ye shall know that I am Jehovah, when I have brought you into the land of Israel, into the country which I lifted up my hand to give to your fathers. Ezek. 20:42
And ye shall know that I am Jehovah, when I have wrought with you for my name's sake, not according to your wicked ways, nor according to your corrupt doings, O house of Israel, saith the Lord Jehovah. Ezek. 20:44
* And the word of Jehovah came unto me, saying, Ezek. 20:45
Son of man, set thy face toward the south, and drop words against the south, and prophesy against the forest of the south field; Ezek. 20:46
and say to the forest of the south, Hear the word of Jehovah. Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Behold, I will kindle a fire in thee, and it shall devour every green tree in thee, and every dry tree: the flashing flame shall not be quenched; and all that it meets from the south to the north shall be burned thereby. Ezek. 20:47
And the word of Jehovah came unto me, saying, Ezek. 21:1
Son of man, set thy face against Jerusalem, and drop words against the holy places, and prophesy against the land of Israel, Ezek. 21:2
and say to the land of Israel, Thus saith Jehovah: Behold, I am against thee, and I will draw forth my sword out of its sheath, and will cut off from thee the righteous and the wicked. Ezek. 21:3
Seeing that I will cut off from thee the righteous and the wicked, therefore shall my sword go forth out of its sheath against all flesh, from the south to the north; Ezek. 21:4
Sigh then, thou son of man; with breaking of the loins, and with bitterness sigh before their eyes. Ezek. 21:6
And it shall be, when they say unto thee, Wherefore dost thou sigh? that thou shalt say, Because of the tidings, for it cometh; and every heart shall melt, and all hands shall be feeble, and every spirit shall languish, and all knees shall melt into water: behold, it cometh; it is here, saith the Lord Jehovah. Ezek. 21:7
And the word of Jehovah came unto me, saying, Ezek. 21:8
It is sharpened for sore slaughter, it is furbished that it may glitter. Shall we then make mirth, saying, The sceptre of my son contemneth all wood? Ezek. 21:10
And he hath given it to be furbished that it may be handled. The sword, -- it is sharpened, and it is furbished to give it into the hand of the slayer. Ezek. 21:11
Cry and howl, son of man; for it shall be against my people, it shall be against all the princes of Israel: they are given up to the sword along with my people: smite therefore upon the thigh. Ezek. 21:12
For the trial is made; and what if even the contemning sceptre shall be no more? saith the Lord Jehovah. Ezek. 21:13
And thou, son of man, prophesy, and smite thy hands together; for the strokes of the sword shall be doubled the third time: it is the sword of the slain, the sword that hath slain the great one, which encompasseth them privily. Ezek. 21:14
In order that the heart may melt, and the stumbling-blocks be multiplied, I have set the threatening sword against all their gates: ah! it is made glittering, it is whetted for the slaughter. Ezek. 21:15
Gather up strength, go to the right hand, turn thee, go to the left, whithersoever thy face is appointed. Ezek. 21:16
And the word of Jehovah came unto me, saying, Ezek. 21:18
And thou, son of man, set thee two ways, by which the sword of the king of Babylon may come -- out of one land shall they both come -- and make thee a signpost, make it at the head of the way to the city. Ezek. 21:19
Appoint a way for the coming of the sword to Rabbah of the children of Ammon, and to Judah at the fenced city of Jerusalem. Ezek. 21:20
For the king of Babylon standeth at the parting of the way, at the head of the two ways, to use divination: he shaketh his arrows, he inquireth of the teraphim, he looketh in the liver. Ezek. 21:21
In his right hand is the lot of Jerusalem to appoint battering-rams, to open the mouth for bloodshed, to lift up the voice with shouting, to appoint battering-rams against the gates, to cast mounds, to build siege-towers. Ezek. 21:22
And this shall be a false divination in their sight, for them that have sworn oaths; but he will call to remembrance the iniquity, that they may be taken. Ezek. 21:23
Therefore thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Because ye make your iniquity to be remembered in that your transgressions are discovered, so that in all your doings your sins appear; because ye are come to remembrance, ye shall be taken with the hand. Ezek. 21:24
And thou, profane, wicked prince of Israel, whose day is come, at the time of the iniquity of the end, Ezek. 21:25
-- thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Remove the mitre and take off the crown; what is shall be no more. Exalt that which is low, and abase that which is high. Ezek. 21:26
And thou, son of man, prophesy and say, Thus speaketh the Lord Jehovah concerning the children of Ammon, and concerning their reproach; and thou shalt say, A sword, a sword is drawn; for the slaughter is it furbished, that it may consume, that it may glitter: Ezek. 21:28
whilst they see vanity for thee, whilst they divine a lie unto thee, to lay thee upon the necks of the wicked that are slain, whose day is come at the time of the iniquity of the end. Ezek. 21:29
Restore it to its sheath. I will judge thee in the place where thou wast created, in the land of thy birth. Ezek. 21:30
And I will pour out mine indignation upon thee, I will blow upon thee the fire of my wrath, and give thee into the hand of brutish men, skilful to destroy. Ezek. 21:31
Thou shalt be for fuel to the fire; thy blood shall be in the midst of the land; thou shalt not be remembered: for I Jehovah have spoken. Ezek. 21:32
And the word of Jehovah came unto me, saying, Ezek. 22:1
And thou, son of man, wilt thou judge, wilt thou judge the bloody city? Yea, cause her to know all her abominations, Ezek. 22:2
and say, Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: A city that sheddeth blood in her midst, that her time may come, and maketh idols against herself to defile herself. Ezek. 22:3
Thou art become guilty by thy blood which thou hast shed, and hast defiled thyself with thine idols which thou hast made; and thou hast caused thy days to draw near, and art come unto thy years: therefore have I made thee a reproach unto the nations, and a mocking unto all countries. Ezek. 22:4
Behold, the princes of Israel have been in thee to shed blood, each according to his power. Ezek. 22:6
In thee have they made light of father and mother; in the midst of thee have they dealt by oppression with the stranger; in thee have they vexed the fatherless and the widow. Ezek. 22:7
In thee there have been slanderous men to shed blood; and in thee have they eaten upon the mountains; in the midst of thee they have committed lewdness; Ezek. 22:9
In thee have they taken gifts to shed blood; thou hast taken usury and increase, and thou hast overreached thy neighbours by oppression, and hast forgotten me, saith the Lord Jehovah. Ezek. 22:12
And behold, I have smitten mine hand at thine overreaching which thou hast done, and at thy bloodshed which hath been in the midst of thee. Ezek. 22:13
Shall thy heart endure, shall thy hands be strong, in the days that I shall deal with thee? I Jehovah have spoken, and will do it. Ezek. 22:14
And I will scatter thee among the nations, and disperse thee through the countries, and will consume thy filthiness out of thee. Ezek. 22:15
And thou shalt be polluted through thyself in the sight of the nations, and thou shalt know that I am Jehovah. Ezek. 22:16
And the word of Jehovah came unto me, saying, Ezek. 22:17
Son of man, the house of Israel is become dross to me: they are all copper, and tin, and iron, and lead, in the midst of the furnace: they are become the dross of silver. Ezek. 22:18
Therefore thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Because ye are all become dross, therefore behold, I will gather you into the midst of Jerusalem. Ezek. 22:19
As they gather silver, and copper, and iron, and lead, and tin, into the midst of the furnace, to blow the fire upon it, to melt it, so will I gather you in mine anger and in my fury, and I will lay you on and melt you. Ezek. 22:20
Yea, I will collect you, and blow upon you the fire of my wrath, and ye shall be melted in the midst thereof. Ezek. 22:21
As silver is melted in the midst of the furnace, so shall ye be melted in the midst thereof: and ye shall know that I Jehovah have poured out my fury upon you. Ezek. 22:22
And the word of Jehovah came unto me, saying, Ezek. 22:23
Son of man, say unto her, Thou art a land that is not cleansed, nor rained upon in the day of indignation. Ezek. 22:24
There is a conspiracy of her prophets in the midst of her like a roaring lion ravening the prey; they devour souls; they take away treasure and precious things; they increase her widows in the midst of her; Ezek. 22:25
her priests do violence to my law, and profane my holy things: they put no difference between the holy and profane, neither do they make known the difference between the unclean and the clean, and they hide their eyes from my sabbaths, and I am profaned among them. Ezek. 22:26
Her princes in the midst of her are like wolves ravening the prey, to shed blood, to destroy souls, to get dishonest gain. Ezek. 22:27
And her prophets have daubed for them with untempered mortar, seeing vanity and divining lies unto them, saying, Thus saith the Lord Jehovah! and Jehovah hath not spoken. Ezek. 22:28
The people of the land use oppression and practise robbery; and they vex the poor and needy, and oppress the stranger wrongfully. Ezek. 22:29
And I sought for a man among them, that should make up the fence, and stand in the breach before me for the land, that I should not destroy it; but I found none. Ezek. 22:30
And I will pour out mine indignation upon them; I will consume them in the fire of my wrath: their own way will I recompense upon their head, saith the Lord Jehovah. Ezek. 22:31
And the word of Jehovah came unto me, saying, Ezek. 23:1
And they committed whoredom in Egypt; they committed whoredom in their youth: there were their breasts pressed, and there were handled the teats of their virginity. Ezek. 23:3
And their names were Oholah the elder, and Oholibah her sister; and they were mine, and they bore sons and daughters. As for their names: Samaria is Oholah, and Jerusalem Oholibah. Ezek. 23:4
And Oholah played the harlot when she was mine; and she lusted after her lovers, after the Assyrians her neighbours, Ezek. 23:5
And she bestowed her whoredoms upon them, all of them the choice of the children of Asshur; and with all after whom she lusted, with all their idols she defiled herself. Ezek. 23:7
Neither left she her whoredoms brought from Egypt; for in her youth they had lain with her, and had handled the breasts of her virginity, and poured their fornication upon her. Ezek. 23:8
Therefore I gave her into the hand of her lovers, into the hand of the children of Asshur, after whom she lusted. Ezek. 23:9
These discovered her nakedness, they took her sons and her daughters, and slew her with the sword; and she became a name among women; and they executed judgment upon her. Ezek. 23:10
And her sister Oholibah saw this, and was more corrupt in her passion than she, and in her fornications more than the whoredoms of her sister. Ezek. 23:11
She lusted after the children of Asshur her neighbours, governors and rulers, clothed most gorgeously, horsemen riding upon horses, all of them attractive young men. Ezek. 23:12
And she increased her fornications; for she saw men portrayed upon the wall, the images of the Chaldeans portrayed with vermilion, Ezek. 23:14
girded with girdles upon their loins, with flowing turbans on their heads, all of them captains in appearance, after the likeness of the children of Babylon, of Chaldea, the land of their nativity. Ezek. 23:15
And the children of Babylon came to her into the bed of love, and they defiled her with their fornication; she too defiled herself with them, and her soul was alienated from them. Ezek. 23:17
Yet she multiplied her whoredoms, calling to remembrance the days of her youth, wherein she played the harlot in the land of Egypt; Ezek. 23:19
and she lusted after their paramours, whose flesh is as the flesh of asses, and whose issue is as the issue of horses. Ezek. 23:20
And thou didst look back to the lewdness of thy youth, in the handling of thy teats by the Egyptians, for the breasts of thy youth. Ezek. 23:21
Therefore, Oholibah, thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Behold, I will raise up thy lovers against thee, from whom thy soul is alienated, and I will bring them against thee on every side. Ezek. 23:22
The children of Babylon, and all the Chaldeans, Pekod and Shoa and Koa, all the children of Asshur with them; all of them attractive young men, governors and rulers, great lords and renowned, all of them riding upon horses. Ezek. 23:23
And I will set my jealousy against thee, and they shall deal furiously with thee: they shall cut off thy nose and thine ears, and thy remnant shall fall by the sword; they shall take thy sons and thy daughters; and thy residue shall be devoured by the fire. Ezek. 23:25
They shall also strip the of thy garments, and take away thy fair jewels. Ezek. 23:26
And I will make thy lewdness to cease from thee, and thy whoredom brought from the land of Egypt; and thou shalt not lift up thine eyes unto them, nor remember Egypt any more. Ezek. 23:27
For thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Behold, I will give thee over into the hand of them whom thou hatest, into the hand of them from whom thy soul is alienated. Ezek. 23:28
And they shall deal with thee in hatred, and shall take away all thy labour, and shall leave thee naked and bare; so that the nakedness of thy whoredoms shall be discovered, both thy lewdness and thy fornications. Ezek. 23:29
These things shall be done unto thee, because thou hast gone a whoring after the nations, because thou hast defiled thyself with their idols. Ezek. 23:30
Thou hast walked in the way of thy sister; and I have given her cup into thy hand. Ezek. 23:31
Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Thou shalt drink of thy sister's cup deep and large; thou shalt be for a laughing-stock and a derision, for it containeth much. Ezek. 23:32
Thou shalt be filled with drunkenness and sorrow, with the cup of astonishment and desolation, the cup of thy sister Samaria; Ezek. 23:33
thou shalt even drink it and suck it out, and thou shalt gnaw the sherds thereof, and pluck off thine own breasts: for I have spoken it, saith the Lord Jehovah. Ezek. 23:34
Therefore thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Because thou hast forgotten me, and cast me behind thy back, therefore bear thou also thy lewdness and thy fornications. Ezek. 23:35
Moreover this have they done unto me: in the same day have they defiled my sanctuary and profaned my sabbaths. Ezek. 23:38
For when they had slaughtered their children unto their idols, they came the same day into my sanctuary to profane it; and behold, thus have they done in the midst of my house. Ezek. 23:39
And the voice of a multitude living carelessly was with her; and with people of the common sort were brought Sabeans from the wilderness, and they put bracelets upon their hands, and a beautiful crown upon their heads. Ezek. 23:42
And they went in unto her, as they go in unto a whorish woman: so went they in unto Oholah and unto Oholibah the lewd women. Ezek. 23:44
And righteous men, they shall judge them with the judgment of adulteresses, and with the judgment of women that shed blood; for they are adulteresses, and blood is in their hands. Ezek. 23:45
For thus saith the Lord Jehovah: I will bring up an assemblage against them, and will give them to be driven hither and thither and spoiled. Ezek. 23:46
And the assemblage shall stone them with stones, and despatch them with their swords; they shall kill their sons and their daughters, and burn their houses with fire. Ezek. 23:47
And I will cause lewdness to cease out of the land, and all women shall receive instruction and shall not do according to your lewdness. Ezek. 23:48
And they shall recompense your lewdness upon you, and ye shall bear the sins of your idols; and ye shall know that I am the Lord Jehovah. Ezek. 23:49
And in the ninth year, in the tenth month, on the tenth of the month, the word of Jehovah came unto me, saying, Ezek. 24:1
Son of man, write thee the name of the day, of this selfsame day: on this selfsame day the king of Babylon draws near to Jerusalem. Ezek. 24:2
And propose a parable unto the rebellious house, and say unto them, Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Set on the pot, set it on, and also pour water into it. Ezek. 24:3
Gather the pieces thereof into it, every good piece, the thigh and the shoulder; fill it with the choice bones: Ezek. 24:4
take the choice of the flock; and also put a pile of wood under it, for the bones; make it boil well, and let the bones of it seethe therein. Ezek. 24:5
Therefore thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Woe to the bloody city, to the pot whose rust is therein, and whose rust is not gone out of it! Bring it out piece by piece; let no lot fall upon it: Ezek. 24:6
for her blood is in the midst of her; she set it upon the bare rock; she poured it not upon the ground, to cover it with dust. Ezek. 24:7
That it might cause fury to come up to execute vengeance, I have set her blood upon the bare rock, that it should not be covered. Ezek. 24:8
Therefore thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Woe to the bloody city! I also will make the pile great. Ezek. 24:9
Heap on the wood, kindle the fire, boil thoroughly the flesh, and spice it well, and let the bones be burned. Ezek. 24:10
Then set it empty upon its coals, that it may be hot, and the brass of it may burn, and that its filthiness may be molten in it, and that its rust may be consumed. Ezek. 24:11
She hath exhausted her labours, yet her great rust goeth not forth out of her: let her rust be in the fire. Ezek. 24:12
I Jehovah have spoken it: it shall come to pass, and I will do it; I will not go back, neither will I spare, nor will I repent. According to thy ways, and according to thy doings, shall they judge thee, saith the Lord Jehovah. Ezek. 24:14
And the word of Jehovah came unto me, saying, Ezek. 24:15
Son of man, behold, I take away from thee the desire of thine eyes with a stroke; yet thou shalt not mourn nor weep, neither shall thy tears run down. Ezek. 24:16
Sigh in silence, make no mourning for the dead; bind thy turban upon thee, and put thy sandals upon thy feet, and cover not the beard, and eat not the bread of men. Ezek. 24:17
-- And I spoke unto the people in the morning; and at even my wife died. And I did in the morning as I was commanded. Ezek. 24:18
And the people said unto me, Wilt thou not tell us what these things are to us, which thou doest? Ezek. 24:19
And I said to them, The word of Jehovah came unto me, saying, Ezek. 24:20
Say unto the house of Israel, Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Behold, I will profane my sanctuary, the pride of your strength, the desire of your eyes, and your soul's longing; and your sons and your daughters whom ye have left behind shall fall by the sword. Ezek. 24:21
And ye shall do as I have done: ye shall not cover the beard, neither eat the bread of men; Ezek. 24:22
Thus Ezekiel shall be unto you a sign; according to all that he hath done shall ye do: when it cometh, then ye shall know that I am the Lord Jehovah. Ezek. 24:24
And thou, son of man, shall it not be in the day when I take from them their strength, the joy of their glory, the desire of their eyes, and that whereunto they lift up their soul, their sons and their daughters, Ezek. 24:25
And the word of Jehovah came unto me, saying, Ezek. 25:1
Son of man, set thy face against the children of Ammon, and prophesy against them; Ezek. 25:2
and say unto the children of Ammon, Hear the word of the Lord Jehovah. Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Because thou saidst, Aha, against my sanctuary, when it was profaned; and against the land of Israel, when it was made desolate; and against the house of Judah, when they went into captivity: Ezek. 25:3
therefore behold, I will give thee to the children of the east for a possession, and they shall set their encampments in thee, and make their dwellings in thee; they shall eat thy fruits, and they shall drink thy milk. Ezek. 25:4
And I will make Rabbah a pasture for camels, and the children of Ammon a couching-place for flocks: and ye shall know that I am Jehovah. Ezek. 25:5
For thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Because thou hast clapped the hands, and stamped with the feet, and rejoiced with all the despite of thy soul against the land of Israel; Ezek. 25:6
therefore behold, I will stretch out my hand upon thee, and will give thee for a spoil to the nations; and I will cut thee off from the peoples, and I will cause thee to perish out of the countries: I will destroy thee, and thou shalt know that I am Jehovah. Ezek. 25:7
Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Because Moab and Seir do say, Behold, the house of Judah is like unto all the nations, Ezek. 25:8
therefore behold, I will open the side of Moab from the cities, from his cities even to the last of them, the glory of the country, Beth-jeshimoth, Baal-meon, and Kirjathaim, Ezek. 25:9
unto the children of the east, with the land of the children of Ammon; and I will give it them for a possession, that the children of Ammon may not be remembered among the nations: Ezek. 25:10
Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Because Edom hath dealt against the house of Judah by taking vengeance, and hath made himself very guilty, and revenged himself upon them, Ezek. 25:12
therefore thus saith the Lord Jehovah: I will also stretch out my hand upon Edom; and will cut off man and beast from it; and I will make it desolate from Teman; and unto Dedan shall they fall by the sword. Ezek. 25:13
And I will execute my vengeance upon Edom, by the hand of my people Israel; and they shall do in Edom according to mine anger and according to my fury; and they shall know my vengeance, saith the Lord Jehovah. Ezek. 25:14
Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Because the Philistines have dealt by revenge, and have taken vengeance with despite of soul, to destroy, from old hatred; Ezek. 25:15
therefore thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Behold, I stretch out my hands upon the Philistines, and I will cut off the Kerethites, and cause the remnant of the sea-coast to perish. Ezek. 25:16
And it came to pass in the eleventh year, on the first of the month, that the word of Jehovah came unto me, saying, Ezek. 26:1
Son of man, because Tyre hath said against Jerusalem, Aha, she is broken, the gate of the peoples! she is turned unto me: I shall be replenished now she is laid waste; Ezek. 26:2
therefore thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Behold, I am against thee, Tyre, and will cause many nations to come up against thee, as the sea causeth its waves to come up. Ezek. 26:3
And they shall destroy the walls of Tyre, and break down her towers. And I will scrape her dust from her, and make her a bare rock. Ezek. 26:4
She shall be a place for the spreading of nets in the midst of the sea; for I have spoken it, saith the Lord Jehovah; and she shall become a spoil for the nations. Ezek. 26:5
And her daughters that are in the field shall be slain by the sword; and they shall know that I am Jehovah. Ezek. 26:6
For thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Behold, I will bring from the north, against Tyre, Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon, the king of kings, with horses, and with chariots, and with horsemen, and an assemblage, and much people. Ezek. 26:7
He shall slay with the sword thy daughters in the field, and he shall make forts against thee, and cast up a mound against thee, and lift up the target against thee; Ezek. 26:8
By reason of the abundance of his horses their dust shall cover thee; thy walls shall shake at the noise of the horsemen, and of the wheels, and of the chariots, when he shall enter through thy gates, as a city is entered into, wherein is made a breach. Ezek. 26:10
With the hoofs of his horses shall he tread down all thy streets; he shall slay thy people by the sword, and the pillars of thy strength shall go down to the ground. Ezek. 26:11
And they shall make a spoil of thy riches, and make a prey of thy wares; and they shall break down thy walls, and destroy thy pleasant houses; and they shall lay thy stones and thy timber and thy dust in the midst of the waters. Ezek. 26:12
And I will cause the noise of thy songs to cease; and the sound of thy harps shall be no more heard. Ezek. 26:13
And I will make thee a bare rock; thou shalt be a place for the spreading of nets; thou shalt be built no more: for I Jehovah have spoken it, saith the Lord Jehovah. Ezek. 26:14
Thus saith the Lord Jehovah to Tyre: Shall not the isles shake at the sound of thy fall, when the wounded groan, when the slaughter is made in the midst of thee? Ezek. 26:15
And all the princes of the sea shall come down from their thrones, and lay aside their robes, and put off their broidered garments: they shall clothe themselves with trembling, they shall sit upon the ground, and shall tremble every moment, and be astonied because of thee. Ezek. 26:16
And they shall take up a lamentation for thee, and say to thee, How hast thou perished, that wast inhabited from the seas, O renowned city, which wast strong in the sea, -- she and her inhabitants, who caused their terror to be on all them that dwell therein! Ezek. 26:17
Now shall the isles tremble in the day of thy fall; and the isles that are in the sea shall be troubled at thy departure. Ezek. 26:18
For thus saith the Lord Jehovah: When I shall make thee a desolate city, like the cities that are not inhabited; when I bring up the deep upon thee, and the great waters cover thee: Ezek. 26:19
then will I bring thee down, with them that go down to the pit, to the people of old time, and will cause thee to dwell in the lower parts of the earth, in places desolate of old, with them that go down to the pit, that thou be not inhabited; and I will set glory in the land of the living. Ezek. 26:20
And I will make thee a terror, and thou shalt be no more; and thou shalt be sought for, and shalt never be found again, for ever, saith the Lord Jehovah. Ezek. 26:21
And the word of Jehovah came unto me, saying: Ezek. 27:1
and say unto Tyre: O thou that art situate at the entries of the sea, and traffickest with the peoples in many isles, thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Thou, Tyre, hast said, I am perfect in beauty. Ezek. 27:3
Thy borders are in the heart of the seas, thy builders have perfected thy beauty. Ezek. 27:4
Of the oaks of Bashan did they make thine oars; they made thy benches of ivory, inlaid in box-wood, out of the isles of Chittim. Ezek. 27:6

The elders of Gebal and the wise men thereof were in thee repairing thy leaks; all the ships of the sea with their mariners were in thee, to barter with thee. Ezek. 27:9
The children of Arvad with thine army were upon thy walls round about, and the Gammadim were on thy towers: they hanged their shields upon thy walls round about; they made thy beauty perfect. Ezek. 27:11
Tarshish dealt with thee by reason of the abundance of all substance; with silver, iron, tin, and lead, they furnished thy markets. Ezek. 27:12
Javan, Tubal, and Meshech, they were thy traffickers: they bartered with thee the persons of men, and vessels of bronze. Ezek. 27:13
They of the house of Togarmah furnished thy markets with horses, and horsemen, and mules. Ezek. 27:14
The children of Dedan were thy traffickers; many isles were the mart of thy hand: they rendered in payment horns of ivory, and ebony. Ezek. 27:15
Syria dealt with thee for the multitude of thy handiworks: they traded in thy markets with carbuncles, purple, and broidered work, and fine linen, and corals, and rubies. Ezek. 27:16

The ships of Tarshish were thy caravans for thy traffic; and thou wast replenished, and highly honoured, in the heart of the seas. Ezek. 27:25
Thy rowers have brought thee into great waters; the east wind hath broken thee in the heart of the seas. Ezek. 27:26
Thy substance, and thy markets, thy merchandise, thy mariners, and thy pilots, they that repair thy leaks, and they that barter with thee, and all thy men of war that are in thee, along with all thine assemblage which is in the midst of thee, shall fall into the heart of the seas in the day of thy fall. Ezek. 27:27
The open places shall shake at the sound of the cry of thy pilots. Ezek. 27:28
And all that handle the oar, the mariners, all the pilots of the sea, shall come down from their ships; they shall stand upon the land, Ezek. 27:29
And in their wailing they shall take up a lamentation for thee, and lament over thee, saying, Who is like Tyre, like her that is destroyed in the midst of the sea? Ezek. 27:32
When thy wares went forth over the seas, thou filledst many peoples; thou didst enrich the kings of the earth with the abundance of thy substance and of thy merchandise. Ezek. 27:33

Son of man, say unto the prince of Tyre, Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Because thy heart is lifted up, and thou hast said, I am a *god, I sit in the seat of God, in the heart of the seas, (and thou art a man, and not *God,) and thou settest thy heart as the heart of God: Ezek. 28:2
Therefore thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Because thou hast set thy heart as the heart of God, Ezek. 28:6
therefore behold, I will bring strangers upon thee, the terrible of the nations; and they shall draw their swords against the beauty of thy wisdom, and they shall tarnish thy brightness. Ezek. 28:7
They shall bring thee down to the pit, and thou shalt die the deaths of those that are slain in the heart of the seas. Ezek. 28:8
Wilt thou then say before him that slayeth thee, I am God? but thou shalt be a man, and not *God, in the hand of him that pierceth thee. Ezek. 28:9
Thou shalt die the deaths of the uncircumcised, by the hand of strangers: for I have spoken it, saith the Lord Jehovah. Ezek. 28:10
And the word of Jehovah came unto me, saying, Ezek. 28:11
Son of man, take up a lamentation upon the king of Tyre, and say unto him, Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Thou, who sealest up the measure of perfection, full of wisdom and perfect in beauty, Ezek. 28:12
thou wast in Eden, the garden of God. Every precious stone was thy covering: the sardius, the topaz, and the diamond, the chrysolite, the onyx, and the jasper, the sapphire, the carbuncle, and the emerald, and gold. The workmanship of thy tambours and of thy pipes was in thee: in the day that thou wast created were they prepared. Ezek. 28:13
Thou wast the anointed covering cherub, and I had set thee so: thou wast upon the holy mountain of God; thou didst walk up and down in the midst of stones of fire. Ezek. 28:14
Thou wast perfect in thy ways, from the day that thou wast created, till unrighteousness was found in thee. Ezek. 28:15
By the abundance of thy traffic they filled the midst of thee with violence, and thou hast sinned; therefore have I cast thee as profane from the mountain of God, and have destroyed thee, O covering cherub, from the midst of the stones of fire. Ezek. 28:16
Thy heart was lifted up because of thy beauty; thou hast corrupted thy wisdom by reason of thy brightness: I have cast thee to the ground, I have laid thee before kings, that they may behold thee. Ezek. 28:17
By the multitude of thine iniquities, by the unrighteousness of thy traffic, thou hast profaned thy sanctuaries: and I have brought forth a fire out of the midst of thee -- it hath consumed thee; and I have brought thee to ashes upon the earth, in the sight of all them that behold thee. Ezek. 28:18
All they that know thee among the peoples shall be amazed at thee: thou art become a terror, and thou shalt never be any more. Ezek. 28:19
And the word of Jehovah came unto me, saying, Ezek. 28:20
and say, Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Behold, I am against thee, Zidon, and I will be glorified in the midst of thee; and they shall know that I am Jehovah, when I shall have executed judgments in her, and shall be hallowed in her. Ezek. 28:22
And I will send into her the pestilence, and blood in her streets; and the wounded shall fall in the midst of her, by the sword upon her on every side: and they shall know that I am Jehovah. Ezek. 28:23
And there shall be no more a wounding sting for the house of Israel, nor any grieving thorn, among all that were round about them, that despised them: and they shall know that I am the Lord Jehovah. Ezek. 28:24
Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: When I shall have gathered the house of Israel from the peoples among whom they are scattered, and shall be hallowed in them in the sight of the nations, then shall they dwell in their land which I have given to my servant Jacob. Ezek. 28:25
In the tenth year, in the tenth month, on the twelfth of the month, the word of Jehovah came unto me, saying, Ezek. 29:1
Son of man, set thy face against Pharaoh king of Egypt, and prophesy against him, and against the whole of Egypt; Ezek. 29:2
speak, and say, Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Behold, I am against thee, Pharaoh king of Egypt, the great monster that lieth in the midst of his rivers, which saith, My river is mine own, and I made it for myself. Ezek. 29:3
And I will put hooks in thy jaws, and I will cause the fish of thy rivers to stick unto thy scales, and I will bring thee up out of the midst of thy rivers, and all the fish of thy rivers shall stick unto thy scales; Ezek. 29:4
and I will cast thee into the wilderness, thee and all the fish of thy rivers: thou shalt fall upon the open field; thou shalt not be brought together nor gathered: I will give thee for meat to the beasts of the earth and to the fowl of the heavens. Ezek. 29:5
And all the inhabitants of Egypt shall know that I am Jehovah, because they have been a staff of reed to the house of Israel. Ezek. 29:6
Therefore thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Behold, I will bring a sword upon thee, and cut off man and beast from thee. Ezek. 29:8
And the land of Egypt shall be a desolation and a waste: and they shall know that I am Jehovah, because he saith, The river is mine, and I made it. Ezek. 29:9
Therefore behold, I am against thee, and against thy rivers, and I will make the land of Egypt deserts of wasteness and desolation, from Migdol to Syene, even unto the border of Ethiopia. Ezek. 29:10
And I will make the land of Egypt a desolation in the midst of the countries that are desolated, and her cities shall be, in the midst of the cities that are laid waste, a desolation forty years; and I will scatter the Egyptians among the nations, and will disperse them through the countries. Ezek. 29:12
Yet thus saith the Lord Jehovah: At the end of forty years will I gather the Egyptians from the peoples whither they were scattered; Ezek. 29:13
and I will turn again the captivity of Egypt, and will cause them to return to the land of Pathros, into the land of their birth, and they shall there be a base kingdom. Ezek. 29:14
It shall be the basest of kingdoms; neither shall it exalt itself any more above the nations; and I will diminish them, so that they shall no more rule over the nations. Ezek. 29:15
And it shall be no more the confidence of the house of Israel, bringing iniquity to remembrance, when they turn after them: and they shall know that I am the Lord Jehovah. Ezek. 29:16
And it came to pass in the twenty-seventh year, in the first month, on the first of the month, that the word of Jehovah came unto me, saying, Ezek. 29:17
Son of man, Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon caused his army to do hard service against Tyre; every head was made bald, and every shoulder was peeled: yet had he from Tyre no wages, nor his army, for the service that he had served against it. Ezek. 29:18
Therefore thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Behold, I will give the land of Egypt unto Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon; and he shall carry away her multitude, and seize her spoil, and take her prey; and it shall be the wages for his army. Ezek. 29:19
I have given him the land of Egypt for his labour wherewith he served against it, because they wrought for me, saith the Lord Jehovah. Ezek. 29:20
In that day will I cause the horn of the house of Israel to bud forth, and I will give thee the opening of the mouth in the midst of them: and they shall know that I am Jehovah. Ezek. 29:21
And the word of Jehovah came unto me, saying, Ezek. 30:1
Son of man, prophesy and say, Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Howl ye, Alas for the day! Ezek. 30:2
For the day is at hand, yea, the day of Jehovah is at hand, a day of clouds; it shall be the time of the nations. Ezek. 30:3
And the sword shall come upon Egypt, and there shall be anguish in Ethiopia, when the slain shall fall in Egypt, and they shall take away her multitude, and her foundations shall be overthrown. Ezek. 30:4
Cush, and Phut, and Lud, and all the mingled people, and Chub, and the children of the land that is in league, shall fall with them by the sword. Ezek. 30:5
Thus saith Jehovah: They also that uphold Egypt shall fall; and the pride of her strength shall come down: from Migdol to Syene shall they fall in her by the sword, saith the Lord Jehovah. Ezek. 30:6
And they shall be desolated in the midst of the countries that are desolated, and her cities shall be in the midst of the cities that are wasted. Ezek. 30:7
In that day shall messengers go forth from me in ships, to make careless Ethiopia afraid; and anguish shall come upon them, as in the day of Egypt: for behold, it cometh! Ezek. 30:9
Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: I will also make the multitude of Egypt to cease by the hand of Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon. Ezek. 30:10
He and his people with him, the terrible of the nations, shall be brought to destroy the land; and they shall draw their swords against Egypt, and fill the land with slain. Ezek. 30:11
And I will make the rivers dry, and sell the land into the hand of the wicked; and I will make the land desolate, and all that is therein, by the hand of strangers: I Jehovah have spoken it. Ezek. 30:12
Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: I will also destroy the idols, and I will cause the images to cease out of Noph; and there shall be no more a prince out of the land of Egypt; and I will put fear in the land of Egypt. Ezek. 30:13
And I will pour my fury upon Sin, the stronghold of Egypt; and I will cut off the multitude of No. Ezek. 30:15
The young men of Aven and of Pibeseth shall fall by the sword; and these shall go into captivity. Ezek. 30:17
And at Tehaphnehes the day shall be darkened, when I break there the yokes of Egypt, and the pride of her strength shall cease in her; as for her, a cloud shall cover her, and her daughters shall go into captivity. Ezek. 30:18
And it came to pass in the eleventh year, in the first month, on the seventh of the month, the word of Jehovah came unto me, saying, Ezek. 30:20
Son of man, I have broken the arm of Pharaoh king of Egypt; and behold, it shall not be bound up to apply remedies, to put a bandage to bind it, to make it strong to hold the sword. Ezek. 30:21
Therefore thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Behold, I am against Pharaoh king of Egypt, and will break his arms, the strong one, and that which was broken; and I will cause the sword to fall out of his hand. Ezek. 30:22
And I will scatter the Egyptians among the nations, and will disperse them through the countries. Ezek. 30:23
And I will strengthen the arms of the king of Babylon, and put my sword in his hand; and I will break Pharaoh's arms, so that he shall groan before him with the groanings of a deadly-wounded man. Ezek. 30:24
And I will strengthen the arms of the king of Babylon, and the arms of Pharaoh shall fall down; and they shall know that I am Jehovah, when I have put my sword into the hand of the king of Babylon, and he shall have stretched it out upon the land of Egypt. Ezek. 30:25
And I will scatter the Egyptians among the nations, and disperse them through the countries: and they shall know that I am Jehovah. Ezek. 30:26
And it came to pass in the eleventh year, in the third month, on the first of the month, that the word of Jehovah came unto me, saying, Ezek. 31:1
Behold, Assyria was a cedar in Lebanon, with fair branches and a shadowing shroud, and of a high stature: and his top was amidst the thick boughs. Ezek. 31:3
The waters made him great, the deep set him up on high; its streams ran round about his plantation, and it sent out its rivulets unto all the trees of the field. Ezek. 31:4
Therefore his height was exalted above all the trees of the field, and his boughs were multiplied, and his branches became long, because of great waters, when he shot forth. Ezek. 31:5
All the fowl of the heavens made their nests in his boughs, and under his branches did all the beasts of the field bring forth their young, and under his shadow dwelt all the great nations. Ezek. 31:6
Thus was he fair in his greatness, in the length of his branches: because his root was by great waters. Ezek. 31:7
The cedars in the garden of God could not hide him; the cypresses were not like his boughs, and the plane-trees were not as his branches: no tree in the garden of God was like unto him in his beauty. Ezek. 31:8
I had made him fair by the multitude of his branches; and all the trees of Eden, that were in the garden of God, envied him. Ezek. 31:9
Therefore thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Because thou hast lifted up thyself in stature, ... and he hath set his top amidst the thick boughs, and his heart is lifted up in his height, Ezek. 31:10
I have given him into the hand of the mighty one of the nations; he shall surely deal with him: I have driven him out for his wickedness. Ezek. 31:11
And strangers, the terrible of the nations, have cut him off and have left him; upon the mountains and in all the valleys his branches are fallen, and his boughs are broken in all the watercourses of the land; and all the peoples of the earth are gone down from his shadow, and have left him. Ezek. 31:12
Upon his fallen trunk do all the fowl of the heavens dwell, and all the beasts of the field are upon his branches: Ezek. 31:13
to the end that none of all the trees by the waters exalt themselves in their stature, nor set their top amidst the thick boughs, and that none of them that drink water stand up in his height by himself; for they are all given over unto death in the lower parts of the earth, in the midst of the children of men, with them that go down to the pit. Ezek. 31:14
Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: In the day when he went down to Sheol, I caused a mourning: I covered the deep for him, and I restrained the floods thereof, and the great waters were stayed; and I made Lebanon black for him, and all the trees of the field fainted for him. Ezek. 31:15
I made the nations to shake at the sound of his fall, when I cast him down to Sheol, with them that go down into the pit; and all the trees of Eden, the choice and best of Lebanon, all that drink water, were comforted in the lower parts of the earth. Ezek. 31:16
They also went down into Sheol with him unto them that were slain with the sword, and that were his arm, that dwelt under his shadow in the midst of the nations. Ezek. 31:17
To whom art thou thus like in glory and in greatness among the trees of Eden? Yet shalt thou be brought down with the trees of Eden, unto the lower parts of the earth; thou shalt lie in the midst of the uncircumcised, with them that are slain by the sword. This is Pharaoh and all his multitude, saith the Lord Jehovah. Ezek. 31:18
And it came to pass in the twelfth year, in the twelfth month, on the first of the month, that the word of Jehovah came unto me, saying, Ezek. 32:1
Son of man, take up a lamentation for Pharaoh king of Egypt, and say unto him, Thou wast like a young lion among the nations, and thou wast as a monster in the seas; and thou didst break forth in thy rivers, and troubledst the waters with thy feet, and fouledst their rivers. Ezek. 32:2
Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: I will also spread out my net over thee with an assemblage of many peoples; and they shall bring thee up in my net. Ezek. 32:3
And I will leave thee upon the land, I will cast thee forth upon the open field, and will cause all the fowl of the heavens to settle upon thee, and I will fill the beasts of the whole earth with thee. Ezek. 32:4
And I will lay thy flesh upon the mountains, and fill the valleys with the heap of thy members; Ezek. 32:5
and I will water with thy blood the land wherein thou swimmest, even to the mountains; and the water-courses shall be full of thee. Ezek. 32:6
And when I shall put thee out, I will cover the heavens, and make the stars thereof black; I will cover the sun with a cloud, and the moon shall not give her light. Ezek. 32:7
All the bright lights of the heavens will I make black over thee, and bring darkness upon thy land, saith the Lord Jehovah. Ezek. 32:8
And I will vex the heart of many peoples, when I bring the news of thy destruction among the nations, into the countries that thou hast not known. Ezek. 32:9
And I will make many peoples amazed at thee, and their kings shall be horribly afraid at thee, when I brandish my sword before them; and they shall tremble at every moment, each one for his life, in the day of thy fall. Ezek. 32:10
For thus saith the Lord Jehovah: The sword of the king of Babylon shall come upon thee. Ezek. 32:11
By the swords of the mighty will I cause thy multitude to fall: the terrible of the nations are they all: and they shall spoil the pride of Egypt, and all the multitude thereof shall be destroyed. Ezek. 32:12
And I will destroy all the beasts thereof, from beside the great waters; and the foot of man shall not trouble them any more, nor shall the cloven hoofs of beasts trouble them. Ezek. 32:13
Then will I make their waters clear, and cause their rivers to run like oil, saith the Lord Jehovah. Ezek. 32:14
When I shall make the land of Egypt a desolation, and the country shall be left desolate of all that was in it, when I have smitten all them that dwell therein, then shall they know that I am Jehovah. Ezek. 32:15
It is a lamentation, and thus they shall lament her: the daughters of the nations shall say it in lamenting; they shall say it in lamenting over Egypt and over all her multitude, saith the Lord Jehovah. Ezek. 32:16
And it came to pass in the twelfth year, on the fifteenth of the month, the word of Jehovah came unto me, saying, Ezek. 32:17
Son of man, wail for the multitude of Egypt, and cast them down, her and the daughters of the famous nations, unto the lower parts of the earth, with them that go down into the pit. Ezek. 32:18
Whom dost thou surpass in beauty? Go down, and be thou laid with the uncircumcised. Ezek. 32:19
They shall fall in the midst of them that are slain by the sword. The sword hath been given: draw her out, and all her multitudes. Ezek. 32:20
The strong among the mighty, with them that helped him, shall speak to him out of the midst of Sheol: they are gone down, they lie still, the uncircumcised, slain by the sword. Ezek. 32:21
There is Asshur and all his assemblage, his graves round about him: all of them slain, fallen by the sword; Ezek. 32:22
their graves are set in the sides of the pit, and his assemblage is round about his grave; all of them slain, fallen by the sword, -- who caused terror in the land of the living. Ezek. 32:23
There is Elam and all her multitude round about her grave, all of them slain, fallen by the sword, who are gone down uncircumcised unto the lower parts of the earth, who caused their terror in the land of the living; yet have they borne their confusion with them that go down to the pit. Ezek. 32:24
They have set him a bed in the midst of the slain, with all his multitude: their graves are round about him, all of them uncircumcised, slain by the sword, though their terror was caused in the land of the living; and they have borne their confusion with them that go down to the pit: he is put in the midst of them that are slain. Ezek. 32:25
There is Meshech, Tubal, and all their multitude, their graves round about them, all of them uncircumcised, slain by the sword, though they caused their terror in the land of the living. Ezek. 32:26
And they lie not with the mighty, that are fallen of the uncircumcised, who are gone down to Sheol with their weapons of war; and whose swords are laid under their heads, and whose iniquities are upon their bones, though they were the terror of the mighty in the land of the living. Ezek. 32:27
Thou also shalt be broken in the midst of the uncircumcised, and shalt lie with them that are slain with the sword. Ezek. 32:28
There is Edom, her kings, and all her princes, who in their might are laid with them that are slain by the sword: they lie with the uncircumcised, and with them that go down to the pit. Ezek. 32:29
There are the princes of the north, all of them, and all the Zidonians, that are gone down with the slain -- ashamed of the terror which they caused through their might; and they lie uncircumcised with them that are slain by the sword, and bear their confusion with them that go down to the pit. Ezek. 32:30
Pharaoh shall see them, and shall be comforted over all his multitude, Pharaoh and all his army slain by the sword, saith the Lord Jehovah. Ezek. 32:31
For I have caused my terror in the land of the living; and he shall be laid in the midst of the uncircumcised, with them that are slain by the sword, Pharaoh and all his multitude, saith the Lord Jehovah. Ezek. 32:32
And the word of Jehovah came unto me, saying, Ezek. 33:1
Son of man, speak to the children of thy people, and say unto them, When I bring the sword upon a land, and the people of the land take one man from among them all, and set him for their watchman: Ezek. 33:2
if he see the sword coming upon the land, and blow the trumpet, and warn the people; Ezek. 33:3
then whosoever heareth the sound of the trumpet, and taketh not warning, if the sword come and take him away, his blood shall be upon his own head. Ezek. 33:4
He heard the sound of the trumpet, and took not warning; his blood is upon him: whereas had he taken warning, he would have delivered his soul. Ezek. 33:5
But if the watchman see the sword coming, and blow not the trumpet, and the people be not warned, if the sword come and take a person from among them, he is taken away in his iniquity; but his blood will I require at the watchman's hand. Ezek. 33:6
So thou, son of man, I have set thee a watchman unto the house of Israel; and thou shalt hear the word from my mouth, and warn them from me. Ezek. 33:7
When I say unto the wicked, Wicked man, thou shalt certainly die; and thou speakest not to warn the wicked from his way, that wicked man shall die in his iniquity; but his blood will I require at thy hand. Ezek. 33:8
But if thou warn the wicked of his way to turn from it, and he do not turn from his way, he shall die in his iniquity; but thou hast delivered thy soul. Ezek. 33:9
And thou, son of man, say unto the house of Israel, Thus ye speak, saying, Our transgressions and our sins are upon us, and we waste away in them, how then should we live? Ezek. 33:10
Say unto them, As I live, saith the Lord Jehovah, I have no pleasure in the death of the wicked; but that the wicked turn from his way and live. Turn ye, turn ye from your evil ways; for why will ye die, O house of Israel? Ezek. 33:11
And thou, son of man, say unto the children of thy people, The righteousness of the righteous shall not deliver him in the day of his transgression; and as for the wickedness of the wicked, he shall not fall thereby in the day that he turneth from his wickedness; neither shall the righteous be able to live thereby in the day that he sinneth. Ezek. 33:12
When I say to the righteous that he shall certainly live, and he trusteth to his righteousness and doeth what is wrong, none of his righteous acts shall be remembered; but in his unrighteousness which he hath done, in it shall he die. Ezek. 33:13
And when I say unto the wicked, Thou shalt certainly die, and he turneth from his sin, and doeth judgment and justice; Ezek. 33:14
if the wicked restore the pledge, give again that he had taken by robbery, walk in the statutes of life, doing nothing that is wrong; he shall certainly live, he shall not die. Ezek. 33:15
Yet the children of thy people say, The way of the Lord is not equal: but as for them, their way is not equal. Ezek. 33:17
When the righteous turneth from his righteousness, and doeth what is wrong, then he shall die therein. Ezek. 33:18
And when the wicked turneth from his wickedness, and doeth judgment and justice, he shall live for these things. Ezek. 33:19
Yet ye say, The way of the Lord is not equal. O house of Israel, I will judge you every one after his ways. Ezek. 33:20
And it came to pass in the twelfth year of our captivity, in the tenth month, on the fifth of the month, that one who had escaped out of Jerusalem came unto me, saying, The city is smitten! Ezek. 33:21
Now the hand of Jehovah had been upon me in the evening, before he that had escaped came; and he had opened my mouth against his coming to me in the morning; and my mouth was opened, and I was no more dumb. Ezek. 33:22
And the word of Jehovah came unto me, saying, Ezek. 33:23
Son of man, they that inhabit those waste places in the land of Israel speak, saying, Abraham was one, and he inherited this land, and we are many: the land is given us for a possession. Ezek. 33:24
Therefore say unto them, Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Ye eat with the blood, and lift up your eyes toward your idols, and shed blood; and shall ye possess the land? Ezek. 33:25
Ye stand upon your sword, ye work abomination, and ye defile every one his neighbour's wife; and shall ye possess the land? Ezek. 33:26
Say thou thus unto them, Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: As I live, verily they that are in the waste places shall fall by the sword, and him that is in the open field will I give to the beasts to be devoured, and they that are in the strongholds and in the caves shall die of the pestilence. Ezek. 33:27
And I will make the land a desolation and an astonishment, and the pride of her strength shall cease; and the mountains of Israel shall be desolated, so that none shall pass through. Ezek. 33:28
And they shall know that I am Jehovah, when I have made the land a desolation and an astonishment because of all their abominations which they have committed. Ezek. 33:29
And as for thee, son of man, the children of thy people keep talking of thee by the walls and in the doors of the houses, and speak one to another, every one to his brother, saying, Come, I pray you, and hear what is the word that cometh forth from Jehovah. Ezek. 33:30
And the word of Jehovah came unto me, saying, Ezek. 34:1
Son of man, prophesy against the shepherds of Israel, prophesy; and say unto them, unto the shepherds, Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Woe to the shepherds of Israel that feed themselves! Should not the shepherds feed the flock? Ezek. 34:2
Ye eat the fat, and ye clothe you with the wool; ye kill them that are fattened: but ye feed not the flock. Ezek. 34:3
The weak have ye not strengthened, nor have ye healed the sick, and ye have not bound up what was broken, neither have ye brought again that which was driven away, neither have ye sought for that which was lost; but with harshness and with rigour have ye ruled over them. Ezek. 34:4
And they were scattered because there was no shepherd; and they became meat to all the beasts of the field, and were scattered. Ezek. 34:5
My sheep wandered through all the mountains, and upon every high hill, and my sheep have been scattered upon all the face of the earth, and there was none that searched, or that sought for them. Ezek. 34:6
Therefore, ye shepherds, hear the word of Jehovah: Ezek. 34:7
As I live, saith the Lord Jehovah, verily because my sheep have been a prey, and my sheep have been meat to every beast of the field, because there was no shepherd, and my shepherds searched not for my flock, but the shepherds fed themselves, and fed not my flock, Ezek. 34:8
-- therefore, ye shepherds, hear the word of Jehovah. Ezek. 34:9
Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Behold, I am against the shepherds; and I will require my sheep at their hand, and cause them to cease from feeding the flock: that the shepherds may feed themselves no more; and I will deliver my sheep from their mouth, that they may not be food for them. Ezek. 34:10
For thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Behold I, even I, will both search for my sheep, and tend them. Ezek. 34:11
As a shepherd tendeth his flock in the day that he is among his scattered sheep, so will I tend my sheep, and will deliver them out of all places whither they have been scattered in the cloudy and dark day. Ezek. 34:12
And I will bring them out from the peoples, and gather them from the countries, and will bring them to their own land; and I will feed them upon the mountains of Israel by the water-courses, and in all the habitable places of the country. Ezek. 34:13
I will feed them in a good pasture, and upon the high mountains of Israel shall their fold be: there shall they lie down in a good fold, and in a fat pasture they shall feed upon the mountains of Israel. Ezek. 34:14
I will myself feed my flock, and I will cause them to lie down, saith the Lord Jehovah. Ezek. 34:15
I will seek the lost, and bring again that which was driven away, and will bind up the broken, and will strengthen that which was sick; but I will destroy the fat and the strong: I will feed them with judgment. Ezek. 34:16
And as for you, my flock, thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Behold, I judge between sheep and sheep, between the rams and the he-goats. Ezek. 34:17
Is it too small a thing unto you to have eaten up the good pastures, but ye must tread down with your feet the rest of your pastures; and to have drunk of the settled waters, but ye must foul the rest with your feet? Ezek. 34:18
Therefore thus saith the Lord Jehovah unto them: Behold, it is I, and I will judge between the fat sheep and the lean sheep. Ezek. 34:20
Because ye thrust with side and with shoulder, and push all the weak ones with your horns, till ye have scattered them abroad, Ezek. 34:21
And I will make with them a covenant of peace, and will cause evil beasts to cease out of the land; and they shall dwell in safety in the wilderness, and sleep in the woods. Ezek. 34:25
And I will make them and the places round about my hill a blessing; and I will cause the shower to come down in its season: there shall be showers of blessing. Ezek. 34:26
And the tree of the field shall yield its fruit, and the earth shall yield its increase; and they shall be in safety in their land, and shall know that I am Jehovah, when I have broken the bands of their yoke and delivered them out of the hand of those that kept them in servitude. Ezek. 34:27
And they shall no more be a prey to the nations, neither shall the beast of the earth devour them; but they shall dwell in safety, and none shall make them afraid. Ezek. 34:28
And I will raise up for them a plant of renown, and they shall be no more consumed with hunger in the land, neither bear the ignominy of the nations any more. Ezek. 34:29
And they shall know that I Jehovah their God am with them, and that they, the house of Israel, are my people, saith the Lord Jehovah. Ezek. 34:30
And ye, my flock, the flock of my pasture, are men: I am your God, saith the Lord Jehovah. Ezek. 34:31
And the word of Jehovah came unto me, saying, Ezek. 35:1
and say unto it, Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Behold, I am against thee, mount Seir, and I will stretch out my hand upon thee, and I will make thee a desolation and an astonishment. Ezek. 35:3
Because thou hast had a perpetual hatred, and hast given over the children of Israel to the power of the sword, in the time of their calamity, in the time of the iniquity of the end; Ezek. 35:5
therefore, as I live, saith the Lord Jehovah, I will certainly appoint thee unto blood, and blood shall pursue thee; since thou hast not hated blood, blood shall pursue thee. Ezek. 35:6
and I will fill his mountains with his slain. In thy hills, and in thy valleys, and in all thy water-courses shall they fall that are slain with the sword. Ezek. 35:8
therefore, as I live, saith the Lord Jehovah, I will even do according to thine anger and according to thine envy, as thou hast done out of thy hatred against them; and I will make myself known among them, when I shall judge thee. Ezek. 35:11
And thou shalt know that I Jehovah have heard all thy reproaches, which thou hast uttered against the mountains of Israel, saying, They are laid desolate, they are given us to devour. Ezek. 35:12
Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: When the whole earth rejoiceth, I will make thee a desolation. Ezek. 35:14
As thou didst rejoice at the inheritance of the house of Israel, because it was desolated, so will I do unto thee: thou shalt be a desolation, O mount Seir, and all Edom, the whole of it: and they shall know that I am Jehovah. Ezek. 35:15
And thou, son of man, prophesy unto the mountains of Israel, and say, Mountains of Israel, hear the word of Jehovah. Ezek. 36:1
Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Because the enemy hath said against you, Aha! and, The ancient high places are become ours in possession; Ezek. 36:2
therefore prophesy and say, Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Because, yea, because they have made you desolate, and have swallowed you up on every side, that ye might be a possession unto the remnant of the nations, and ye are taken up in the lips of talkers, and in the defaming of the people: Ezek. 36:3
therefore, ye mountains of Israel, hear the word of the Lord Jehovah. Thus saith the Lord Jehovah to the mountains and to the hills, to the water-courses and to the valleys, to the desolate wastes and to the cities that are forsaken, which are become a prey and a derision to the remnant of the nations that are round about, Ezek. 36:4
-- therefore thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Surely in the fire of my jealousy have I spoken against the remnant of the nations, and against the whole of Edom, which have appointed my land unto themselves for a possession with the joy of all their heart, with despite of soul, to plunder it by pillage. Ezek. 36:5
Prophesy therefore concerning the land of Israel, and say to the mountains and to the hills, to the water-courses and to the valleys, Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Behold, I have spoken in my jealousy and in my fury, because ye have borne the ignominy of the nations; Ezek. 36:6
therefore thus saith the Lord Jehovah: I have lifted up my hand, saying, Verily the nations that are about you, they shall bear their shame. Ezek. 36:7
And I will multiply men upon you, all the house of Israel, the whole of it; and the cities shall be inhabited, and the waste places shall be builded. Ezek. 36:10
Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Because they say unto you, Thou devourest men, and hast bereaved thy nation, Ezek. 36:13
therefore thou shalt devour men no more, neither bereave thy nation any more, saith the Lord Jehovah; Ezek. 36:14
neither will I cause thee to hear the ignominy of the nations any more, and thou shalt not bear the reproach of the peoples any more, neither shalt thou cause thy nation to fall any more, saith the Lord Jehovah. Ezek. 36:15
And the word of Jehovah came unto me, saying, Ezek. 36:16
Son of man, when the house of Israel dwelt in their own land, they defiled it by their way and by their doings: their way was before me as the uncleanness of a woman in her separation. Ezek. 36:17
And I poured out my fury upon them for the blood that they had shed upon the land, and because they had defiled it with their idols. Ezek. 36:18
And I scattered them among the nations, and they were dispersed through the countries: according to their way and according to their doings I judged them. Ezek. 36:19
And when they came to the nations whither they went, they profaned my holy name, when it was said of them, These are the people of Jehovah, and they are gone forth out of his land. Ezek. 36:20
But I had pity for my holy name, which the house of Israel had profaned among the nations whither they went. Ezek. 36:21
Therefore say unto the house of Israel, Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: I do not this for your sakes, O house of Israel, but for my holy name, which ye have profaned among the nations whither ye went. Ezek. 36:22
And I will hallow my great name, which was profaned among the nations, which ye have profaned in the midst of them; and the nations shall know that I am Jehovah, saith the Lord Jehovah, when I shall be hallowed in you before their eyes. Ezek. 36:23
And I will take you from among the nations, and gather you out of all the countries, and will bring you into your own land. Ezek. 36:24
And I will give you a new heart, and I will put a new spirit within you; and I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh, and I will give you a heart of flesh. Ezek. 36:26
And ye shall dwell in the land that I gave to your fathers, and ye shall be my people, and I will be your God. Ezek. 36:28
And I will save you from all your uncleannesses; and I will call for the corn and will multiply it, and lay no famine upon you. Ezek. 36:29
And I will multiply the fruit of the trees and the increase of the field, so that ye may receive no more the reproach of famine among the nations. Ezek. 36:30
Not for your sakes do I this, saith the Lord Jehovah, be it known unto you: be ashamed and confounded for your ways, O house of Israel. Ezek. 36:32
Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: In the day that I shall cleanse you from all your iniquities I will also cause the cities to be inhabited, and the waste places shall be builded. Ezek. 36:33
And the desolate land shall be tilled, whereas it was a desolation in the sight of all that passed by. Ezek. 36:34
And they shall say, This land that was desolate is become like the garden of Eden; and the waste and desolate and ruined cities are fortified and inhabited. Ezek. 36:35
And the nations that shall be left round about you shall know that I Jehovah build the ruined places and plant that which was desolate: I Jehovah have spoken, and I will do it. Ezek. 36:36
Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: I will yet for this be inquired of by the house of Israel, to do it unto them; I will increase them with men like a flock. Ezek. 36:37
As the holy flock, as the flock of Jerusalem in her set feasts, so shall the waste cities be filled with flocks of men: and they shall know that I am Jehovah. Ezek. 36:38
The hand of Jehovah was upon me, and Jehovah carried me out in the Spirit, and set me down in the midst of a valley; and it was full of bones. Ezek. 37:1
And he caused me to pass by them round about; and behold, there were very many in the open valley; and behold, they were very dry. Ezek. 37:2
And he said unto me, Prophesy over these bones, and say unto them, Ye dry bones, hear the word of Jehovah. Ezek. 37:4
Thus saith the Lord Jehovah unto these bones: Behold, I will cause breath to enter into you, and ye shall live. Ezek. 37:5
And I prophesied as I was commanded; and as I prophesied, there was a noise, and behold a rustling, and the bones came together, bone to its bone. Ezek. 37:7
And I looked, and behold, sinews and flesh came up upon them, and the skin covered them over; but there was no breath in them. Ezek. 37:8
And he said unto me, Prophesy unto the wind, prophesy, son of man, and say to the wind, Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Come from the four winds, O breath, and breathe upon these slain, that they may live. Ezek. 37:9
And I prophesied as he had commanded me, and the breath came into them, and they lived, and stood up upon their feet, an exceeding great army. Ezek. 37:10
And he said unto me, Son of man, these bones are the whole house of Israel. Behold, they say, Our bones are dried, and our hope is lost: we are cut off! Ezek. 37:11
Therefore prophesy and say unto them, Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Behold, I will open your graves, and cause you to come up out of your graves, O my people, and bring you into the land of Israel. Ezek. 37:12
And the word of Jehovah came unto me, saying, Ezek. 37:15
And thou, son of man, take thee one stick, and write upon it, For Judah, and for the children of Israel, his companions. And take another stick, and write upon it, For Joseph, the stick of Ephraim and all the house of Israel, his companions. Ezek. 37:16
And when the children of my people speak unto thee, saying, Wilt thou not declare unto us what thou meanest by these? Ezek. 37:18
say unto them, Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Behold, I will take the stick of Joseph, which is in the hand of Ephraim, and the tribes of Israel his companions, and will put them with this, with the stick of Judah, and make them one stick, and they shall be one in my hand. Ezek. 37:19
And the sticks whereon thou writest shall be in thy hand before their eyes. Ezek. 37:20
And say unto them, Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Behold, I will take the children of Israel from among the nations, whither they are gone, and will gather them from every side, and bring them into their own land: Ezek. 37:21
and I will make them one nation in the land upon the mountains of Israel; and one king shall be king to them all: and they shall be no more two nations, neither shall they be divided into two kingdoms any more at all. Ezek. 37:22
And they shall dwell in the land that I have given unto Jacob my servant, wherein your fathers have dwelt; and they shall dwell therein, they, and their children, and their children's children for ever: and David my servant shall be their prince for ever. Ezek. 37:25
And I will make a covenant of peace with them: it shall be an everlasting covenant with them; and I will place them, and multiply them, and will set my sanctuary in the midst of them for ever. Ezek. 37:26
And the nations shall know that I Jehovah do hallow Israel, when my sanctuary shall be in the midst of them for ever. Ezek. 37:28
And the word of Jehovah came unto me, saying, Ezek. 38:1
Son of man, set thy face against Gog, the land of Magog, the prince of Rosh, Meshech, and Tubal, and prophesy against him, Ezek. 38:2
and say, Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Behold, I am against thee, O Gog, prince of Rosh, Meshech, and Tubal. Ezek. 38:3
Gomer, and all his bands; the house of Togarmah from the uttermost north, and all his bands; -- many peoples with thee. Ezek. 38:6
After many days shalt thou be visited; at the end of years thou shalt come into the land brought back from the sword and gathered out of many peoples, upon the mountains of Israel which have been a perpetual waste: but it is brought forth out from the peoples, and they shall all of them be dwelling in safety. Ezek. 38:8
And thou shalt ascend, thou shalt come like a storm, thou shalt be like a cloud to cover the land, thou, and all thy bands, and many peoples with thee. Ezek. 38:9
Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: It shall even come to pass in that day that things shall come into thy mind, and thou shalt think an evil thought; Ezek. 38:10
and thou shalt say, I will go up to the land of unwalled villages; I will come to them that are in quiet, that dwell in safety, all of them dwelling without walls, and having neither bars nor gates, Ezek. 38:11
to seize a spoil, and to take a prey; to turn thy hand against the waste places that are now inhabited, and against a people gathered out of the nations, which have gotten cattle and goods, that dwell in the middle of the land. Ezek. 38:12
Sheba, and Dedan, and the merchants of Tarshish, with all the young lions thereof, shall say unto thee, Art thou come to seize a spoil? hast thou gathered thine assemblage to take a prey? to carry away silver and gold, to take cattle and goods, to seize a great spoil? Ezek. 38:13
Therefore prophesy, son of man, and say unto Gog, Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: In that day when my people Israel dwelleth in safety, shalt thou not know it? Ezek. 38:14
And thou shalt come from thy place out of the uttermost north, thou and many peoples with thee, all of them riding upon horses, a great assemblage and a mighty army. Ezek. 38:15
And thou shalt come up against my people Israel as a cloud to cover the land -- it shall be at the end of days -- and I will bring thee against my land, that the nations may know me, when I shall be hallowed in thee, O Gog, before their eyes. Ezek. 38:16
Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Art thou not he of whom I have spoken in old time through my servants the prophets of Israel, who prophesied in those days, for many years, that I would bring thee against them? Ezek. 38:17
And it shall come to pass in that day, in the day when Gog shall come against the land of Israel, saith the Lord Jehovah, that my fury shall come up in my face; Ezek. 38:18
for in my jealousy, in the fire of my wrath have I spoken, Verily in that day there shall be a great shaking in the land of Israel; Ezek. 38:19
so that the fish of the sea, and the fowl of the heavens, and the beasts of the field, and all creeping things which creep upon the earth, and all mankind that are upon the face of the earth shall shake at my presence; and the mountains shall be thrown down, and the steep places shall fall, and every wall shall fall to the ground. Ezek. 38:20
And I will call for a sword against him throughout all my mountains, saith the Lord Jehovah: every man's sword shall be against his brother. Ezek. 38:21
And I will enter into judgment with him with pestilence and with blood; and I will rain upon him, and upon his bands, and upon the many peoples that are with him, overflowing rain and great hailstones, fire and brimstone. Ezek. 38:22
And I will magnify myself, and sanctify myself, and I will be known in the eyes of many nations, and they shall know that I am Jehovah. Ezek. 38:23
And thou, son of man, prophesy against Gog, and say, Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Behold, I am against thee, O Gog, prince of Rosh, Meshech, and Tubal; Ezek. 39:1
and I will turn thee back, and lead thee, and will cause thee to come up from the uttermost north, and will bring thee upon the mountains of Israel. Ezek. 39:2
Thou shalt fall upon the mountains of Israel, thou, and all thy bands, and the peoples that are with thee: I have given thee to be meat for the birds of prey of every wing, and to the beasts of the field. Ezek. 39:4
Thou shalt fall on the open field; for I have spoken it, saith the Lord Jehovah. Ezek. 39:5
And I will send a fire on Magog, and among them that dwell at ease in the isles: and they shall know that I am Jehovah. Ezek. 39:6
And my holy name will I make known in the midst of my people Israel; and I will not suffer my holy name to be profaned any more: and the nations shall know that I am Jehovah, the Holy One in Israel. Ezek. 39:7
Behold, it cometh, and shall be done, saith the Lord Jehovah. This is the day whereof I have spoken. Ezek. 39:8
And they that dwell in the cities of Israel shall go forth, and shall kindle fire, and burn weapons, and shields, and targets, bows, and arrows, and hand-staves, and spears: and they shall make fires with them seven years. Ezek. 39:9
And no wood shall be taken out of the field, neither cut down out of the forests; for they shall make fire with the weapons; and they shall spoil those that spoiled them, and plunder those that plundered them, saith the Lord Jehovah. Ezek. 39:10
And it shall come to pass in that day, that I will give unto Gog a place there for burial in Israel, the valley of the passers-by to the east of the sea; and it shall stop the way of the passers-by; and there shall they bury Gog and all the multitude; and they shall call it, Valley of Hamon-Gog. Ezek. 39:11
And seven months shall the house of Israel be burying them, that they may cleanse the land; Ezek. 39:12
and all the people of the land shall bury them; and it shall be to them for renown in the day that I shall be glorified, saith the Lord Jehovah. Ezek. 39:13
And they shall sever out men of continual employment to go through the land, who, with the passers-by, shall bury those that remain upon the face of the land, to cleanse it: at the end of seven months shall they make a search. Ezek. 39:14
And the passers-by shall pass through the land, and when any seeth a man's bone, he shall set up a sign by it, till the buriers have buried it in the Valley of Hamon-Gog. Ezek. 39:15
And also the name of the city shall be Hamonah. Thus shall they cleanse the land. Ezek. 39:16
And thou, son of man, thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Speak unto the birds of every wing, and to every beast of the field, Gather yourselves together and come, assemble yourselves on every side to my sacrifice which I sacrifice for you, a great sacrifice upon the mountains of Israel, that ye may eat flesh, and drink blood. Ezek. 39:17
Ye shall eat the flesh of the mighty, and drink the blood of the princes of the earth, of rams, of lambs, and of goats, and of bullocks, all of them fatted beasts of Bashan. Ezek. 39:18
And ye shall be filled at my table with horses and charioteers, with mighty men, and with all men of war, saith the Lord Jehovah. Ezek. 39:20
And I will set my glory among the nations, and all the nations shall see my judgment which I have executed, and my hand which I have laid upon them. Ezek. 39:21
And the house of Israel shall know that I am Jehovah their God from that day and forward. Ezek. 39:22
And the nations shall know that the house of Israel went into captivity for their iniquity, because they were unfaithful against me; and I hid my face from them, and gave them into the hand of their enemies, so that they fell all of them by the sword. Ezek. 39:23
Therefore, thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Now will I bring again the captivity of Jacob, and have mercy upon the whole house of Israel, and will be jealous for my holy name: Ezek. 39:25
when I have brought them again from the peoples, and gathered them out of their enemies' lands, and am hallowed in them in the sight of many nations. Ezek. 39:27
And they shall know that I am Jehovah their God, in that I caused them to be led into captivity among the nations, and have gathered them unto their own land, and have left none of them any more there. Ezek. 39:28
And I will not hide my face any more from them, for I shall have poured out my Spirit upon the house of Israel, saith the Lord Jehovah. Ezek. 39:29
In the twenty-fifth year of our captivity, in the beginning of the year, on the tenth of the month, in the fourteenth year after that the city was smitten, on that same day the hand of Jehovah was upon me, and he brought me thither. Ezek. 40:1
In the visions of God brought he me into the land of Israel, and set me upon a very high mountain; and upon it was as the building of a city, on the south. Ezek. 40:2
And he brought me thither, and behold, there was a man whose appearance was like the appearance of brass, with a flax-cord in his hand, and a measuring-reed; and he stood in the gate. Ezek. 40:3
And the man said unto me, Son of man, behold with thine eyes, and hear with thine ears, and set thy heart upon all that I shall shew thee; for in order that it might be shewn unto thee art thou brought hither. Declare to the house of Israel all that thou seest. Ezek. 40:4
And behold, there was a wall on the outside of the house round about, and in the man's hand a measuring-reed of six cubits, each of one cubit and a hand breadth. And he measured the breadth of the building, one reed; and the height, one reed. Ezek. 40:5
And he came to the gate which looked toward the east, and went up its steps; and he measured the threshold of the gate, one reed broad; and the other threshold one reed broad. Ezek. 40:6
And each chamber was one reed long and one reed broad; and between the chambers were five cubits; and the threshold of the gate, beside the porch of the gate within, was one reed. Ezek. 40:7
And he measured the porch of the gate within, one reed. Ezek. 40:8
And he measured the porch of the gate, eight cubits; and the posts thereof, two cubits; and the porch of the gate was inward. Ezek. 40:9
And the chambers of the gate which was toward the east were three on this side and three on that side: they three were of one measure; and the posts on this side and on that side had one measure. Ezek. 40:10
And he measured the breadth of the entry of the gate, ten cubits; and the length of the gate, thirteen cubits. Ezek. 40:11
And there was a border before the chambers of one cubit, and a border of one cubit on the other side; and the chambers were six cubits on this side, and six cubits on that side. Ezek. 40:12
And he measured the gate from the roof of one chamber to the roof of the other, a breadth of five and twenty cubits, entry opposite entry. Ezek. 40:13
And he made posts, sixty cubits, and by the post was the court of the gate round about. Ezek. 40:14
And from the front of the gate of the entrance unto the front of the porch of the inner gate were fifty cubits. Ezek. 40:15
And there were closed windows to the chambers, and to their posts within the gate round about, and likewise to the projections; and the windows round about were inward; and upon each post were palm-trees. Ezek. 40:16
And he brought me into the outer court, and behold, there were cells, and a pavement made for the court round about: thirty cells were upon the pavement. Ezek. 40:17
And the pavement was by the side of the gates, answering to the length of the gates, namely the lower pavement. Ezek. 40:18
And he measured the breadth from the front of the lower gate unto the front of the inner court outside, a hundred cubits eastward and northward. Ezek. 40:19
And the gate of the outer court, that looked toward the north, he measured its length and its breadth. Ezek. 40:20
And its chambers were three on this side and three on that side; and its posts and its projections were according to the measure of the first gate: its length was fifty cubits, and breadth five and twenty cubits. Ezek. 40:21
And its windows, and its projections, and its palm-trees were according to the measure of the gate that looked toward the east; and they went up to it by seven steps; and the projections thereof were before them. Ezek. 40:22
And the gate of the inner court was opposite to the gate toward the north, and toward the east; and he measured from gate to gate a hundred cubits. Ezek. 40:23
And he brought me toward the south: and behold, there was a gate toward the south; and he measured its posts and its projections according to these measures. Ezek. 40:24
And there were windows to it and to its projections round about, like those windows: the length was fifty cubits, and the breadth five and twenty cubits. Ezek. 40:25
And there was a gate to the inner court toward the south; and he measured from gate to gate toward the south, a hundred cubits. Ezek. 40:27
And he brought me into the inner court by the south gate; and he measured the south gate according to these measures: Ezek. 40:28
and its chambers, and its posts, and its projections, according to these measures; and there were windows to it and to its projections round about: the length was fifty cubits, and the breadth twenty-five cubits. Ezek. 40:29
And its projections were toward the outer court; and there were palm-trees upon its posts: and its ascent was by eight steps. Ezek. 40:31
And he brought me into the inner court toward the east; and he measured the gate according to these measures: Ezek. 40:32
and its chambers, and its posts, and its projections, according to these measures; and there were windows to it and to its projections round about: the length was fifty cubits, and the breadth twenty-five cubits. Ezek. 40:33
And its projections were toward the outer court; and there were palm-trees upon its posts on this side and on that side: and its ascent was by eight steps. Ezek. 40:34
And he brought me to the north gate, and he measured it according to these measures: Ezek. 40:35
its chambers, its posts, and its projections; and there were windows to it round about: the length was fifty cubits, and the breadth twenty-five cubits. Ezek. 40:36
And its posts were toward the outer court; and there were palm-trees upon its posts, on this side and on that side: and its ascent was by eight steps. Ezek. 40:37
And there was a cell and its entry by the posts of the gates; there they rinsed the burnt-offering. Ezek. 40:38
And in the porch of the gate were two tables on this side, and two tables on that side, to slay thereon the burnt-offering and the sin-offering and the trespass-offering. Ezek. 40:39
And at the side without, at the ascent to the entry of the north gate, were two tables; and on the other side, which was at the porch of the gate, were two tables: Ezek. 40:40
four tables on this side, and four tables on that side, by the side of the gate, -- eight tables, whereon they slew the sacrifice, Ezek. 40:41
-- and at the ascent, four tables of hewn stone, of a cubit and a half long, and a cubit and a half broad, and one cubit high; whereon also they laid the instruments with which they slew the burnt-offering and the sacrifice. Ezek. 40:42
And the double hooks of a hand breadth were fastened round about within; and upon the tables they put the flesh of the offering. Ezek. 40:43
And outside the inner gate were two cells in the inner court, one at the side of the north gate, and its front towards the south; the other was at the side of the south gate, the front towards the north. Ezek. 40:44
And he said unto me, This cell whose front is towards the south is for the priests, the keepers of the charge of the house. Ezek. 40:45
And the cell whose front is toward the north is for the priests, the keepers of the charge of the altar. These are the sons of Zadok, those who, from among the sons of Levi, approach unto Jehovah to minister unto him. Ezek. 40:46
And he measured the court, the length a hundred cubits, and the breadth a hundred cubits, four square: and the altar was before the house. Ezek. 40:47
And he brought me to the porch of the house; and he measured the post of the porch, five cubits on this side, and five cubits on that side; and the breadth of the gate, three cubits on this side, and three cubits on that side. Ezek. 40:48
The length of the porch was twenty cubits, and the breadth eleven cubits, even by the steps whereby they went up to it; and there were pillars by the posts, one on this side, and one on that side. Ezek. 40:49
And he brought me to the temple; and he measured the posts, six cubits broad on the one side, and six cubits broad on the other side, the breadth of the tent. Ezek. 41:1
And the breadth of the entry was ten cubits, and the sides of the entry were five cubits on this side, and five cubits on that side; and he measured its length, forty cubits, and the breadth, twenty cubits. Ezek. 41:2
And he went inwards, and measured the post of the entry, two cubits; and the entry, six cubits; and the breadth of the entry, seven cubits. Ezek. 41:3
And he measured its length, twenty cubits; and the breadth, twenty cubits, before the temple: and he said unto me, This is the most holy place. Ezek. 41:4
And he measured the wall of the house, six cubits; and the breadth of the side-chambers, four cubits, round about the house on every side. Ezek. 41:5
And the side-chambers were three, chamber over chamber, and thirty in order; and they entered into the wall which the house had for the side-chambers round about, that they might have hold; but they had not hold in the wall of the house. Ezek. 41:6
And for the side-chambers there was an enlarging, and it went round about the house increasing upward; for the surrounding of the house increased upward round about the house; therefore the house had width upward, and so ascended from the lower story to the upper, by the middle one. Ezek. 41:7
And I saw that the house had an elevation round about: the foundations of the side-chambers, a full reed, six cubits to the joint. Ezek. 41:8
The thickness of the wall, which was for the side-chambers without, was five cubits, as also what was left free along the building of the side-chambers that pertained to the house. Ezek. 41:9
And between the cells and the house was a width of twenty cubits round about the house on every side. Ezek. 41:10
And the entry of the side-chambers was toward what was left free, one entry toward the north, and one entry toward the south; and the width of the space left free was five cubits round about. Ezek. 41:11
And the building that was before the separate place at the end toward the west was seventy cubits broad; and the wall of the building was five cubits thick round about; and its length ninety cubits. Ezek. 41:12
And he measured the house: the length a hundred cubits; and the separate place, and the building, and its walls, the length a hundred cubits; Ezek. 41:13
and the breadth of the front of the house, and of the separate places toward the east, a hundred cubits. Ezek. 41:14
And he measured the length of the building before the separate place, which was at the back of it, with its galleries on the one side and on the other side, a hundred cubits; and the inner temple, and the porches of the court. Ezek. 41:15
The thresholds, and the closed windows, and the galleries round about the three of them (opposite the thresholds it was wainscoted with wood round about, and from the ground up to the windows, and the windows were covered), Ezek. 41:16
and above, over the entry, even unto the inner house, and without, and by all the wall round about, within and without, all was by measure. Ezek. 41:17
And it was made with cherubim and palm-trees, and a palm-tree was between cherub and cherub; and the cherub had two faces: Ezek. 41:18
the face of a man was toward the palm-tree on the one side, and the face of a young lion toward the palm-tree on the other side: so was it made upon all the house round about. Ezek. 41:19
From the ground unto above the entry were the cherubim and the palm-trees made, and on the wall of the temple. Ezek. 41:20
As for the temple, the door-posts were squared; and the front of the sanctuary had the same appearance. Ezek. 41:21
The altar was of wood, three cubits high, and its length two cubits; and its corners, and its length, and its walls were of wood. And he said unto me, This is the table which is before Jehovah. Ezek. 41:22
And the temple and the sanctuary had two doors. Ezek. 41:23
And the doors had two leaves, two turning-leaves: two for the one door, and two leaves for the other. Ezek. 41:24
And there were made on them, on the doors of the temple, cherubim and palm-trees, as there were made upon the walls; and there was a wooden portal in front of the porch without, Ezek. 41:25
and closed windows and palm-trees on the one side and on the other side, on the sides of the porch and the side chambers of the house and the portals. Ezek. 41:26
And he brought me forth into the outer court, the way toward the north; and he brought me to the cells that were over against the separate place and which were over against the building, toward the north, Ezek. 42:1
before the length of the hundred cubits: the entry was on the north, and the breadth was fifty cubits, Ezek. 42:2
over against the twenty cubits that pertained to the inner court, and over against the pavement that pertained to the outer court; there was gallery against gallery in the third story; Ezek. 42:3
and before the cells was a walk of ten cubits in breadth, and a way of a hundred cubits inward; and their entries were toward the north. Ezek. 42:4
And the upper cells, because the galleries encroached on them, were shorter than the lower, and than the middle-most of the building. Ezek. 42:5
For they were in three stories, but had not pillars as the pillars of the courts; therefore the third story was straitened more than the lowest and the middle-most from the ground. Ezek. 42:6
And the wall that was without, answering to the cells, toward the outer court in the front of the cells, its length was fifty cubits: Ezek. 42:7
for the length of the cells that were against the outer court was fifty cubits; but behold, before the temple it was a hundred cubits. Ezek. 42:8
And under these cells was the entry from the east, as one goeth into them from the outer court. Ezek. 42:9
In the breadth of the wall of the court toward the south, before the separate place, and before the building, were cells; Ezek. 42:10
and a passage before them, like the appearance of the cells that were toward the north, according to their length, according to their breadth and all their goings out, and according to their fashions, and according to their doors. Ezek. 42:11
And according to the doors of the cells that were toward the south there was a door at the head of the way, the way directly before the corresponding wall toward the east as one entereth into them. Ezek. 42:12
And he said unto me, The north cells and the south cells, which are before the separate place, they are holy cells, where the priests that come near unto Jehovah shall eat the most holy things; there shall they lay the most holy things, both the oblation and the sin-offering and the trespass-offering: for the place is holy. Ezek. 42:13
When the priests enter in, they shall not go forth from the sanctuary into the outer court, but there they shall lay their garments wherein they minister, for they are holy; and they shall put on other garments, and shall approach to that which is for the people. Ezek. 42:14
And when he had made an end of measuring the inner house, he brought me forth toward the gate whose front was toward the east, and measured the enclosure round about. Ezek. 42:15
He measured the east side with the measuring-reed, five hundred reeds, with the measuring-reed round about. Ezek. 42:16
He measured the north side, five hundred reeds, with the measuring-reed round about. Ezek. 42:17
He measured the south side, five hundred reeds, with the measuring-reed. Ezek. 42:18
He turned about to the west side, and measured five hundred reeds with the measuring-reed. Ezek. 42:19
He measured it on the four sides; it had a wall round about, five hundred long, and five hundred broad, to make a separation between that which was holy and that which was common. Ezek. 42:20
And he brought me unto the gate, the gate which looked toward the east. Ezek. 43:1
And behold, the glory of the God of Israel came from the way of the east; and his voice was like the voice of many waters; and the earth was lit up with his glory. Ezek. 43:2
And the appearance of the vision that I saw was according to the vision that I had seen when I came to destroy the city; and the visions were like the vision that I saw by the river Chebar: and I fell upon my face. Ezek. 43:3
And the glory of Jehovah came into the house by the way of the gate whose front was toward the east. Ezek. 43:4
And the Spirit lifted me up, and brought me into the inner court; and behold, the glory of Jehovah filled the house. Ezek. 43:5
And I heard one speaking unto me out of the house; and a man was standing by me. Ezek. 43:6
And he said unto me, Son of man, this is the place of my throne, and the place of the soles of my feet, where I will dwell in the midst of the children of Israel for ever; and the house of Israel shall no more defile my holy name, they nor their kings, with their fornication, and with the carcases of their kings in their high places, Ezek. 43:7
Now let them put away their fornication, and the carcases of their kings, far from me, and I will dwell in the midst of them for ever. Ezek. 43:9
Thou, son of man, shew the house to the house of Israel, that they may be confounded at their iniquities; and let them measure the pattern. Ezek. 43:10
And if they be confounded at all that they have done, make known to them the form of the house, and its fashion, and its goings out, and its comings in, and all its forms, and all its statutes, yea, all the forms thereof, and all the laws thereof; and write it in their sight, that they may keep the whole form thereof, and all the statutes thereof, and do them. Ezek. 43:11
This is the law of the house: Upon the top of the mountain all its border round about is most holy. Behold, this is the law of the house. Ezek. 43:12
And these are the measures of the altar in cubits: the cubit is a cubit and a hand breadth. The bottom was a cubit in height and the breadth a cubit, and its border on the edge thereof round about, one span: and this was the base of the altar. Ezek. 43:13
And from the bottom upon the ground to the lower settle was two cubits, and the breadth one cubit; and from the small settle to the great settle, four cubits, and the breadth a cubit. Ezek. 43:14
And the upper altar was four cubits; and from the hearth of *God and upward were four horns. Ezek. 43:15
And the hearth of *God was twelve cubits long, by twelve broad, square in the four sides thereof. Ezek. 43:16
And the settle was fourteen cubits long by fourteen broad in the four sides thereof; and the border about it, half a cubit; and the bottom thereof a cubit round about: and its steps looked toward the east. Ezek. 43:17
And he said unto me, Son of man, thus saith the Lord Jehovah: These are the ordinances of the altar in the day when they shall make it, to offer up burnt-offerings thereon, and to sprinkle blood thereon. Ezek. 43:18
And thou shalt give to the priests the Levites that are of the seed of Zadok, who come near unto me, to minister unto me, saith the Lord Jehovah, a young bullock for a sin-offering. Ezek. 43:19
And thou shalt take of its blood, and put it on the four horns thereof, and on the four corners of the settle, and upon the border round about: so shalt thou purge and make atonement for it. Ezek. 43:20
And thou shalt take the bullock of the sin-offering, and it shall be burned in the appointed place of the house, outside the sanctuary. Ezek. 43:21
And on the second day thou shalt present a he-goat without blemish for a sin-offering; and they shall purge the altar, as they purged it with the bullock. Ezek. 43:22
When thou hast ended purging it, thou shalt present a young bullock without blemish, and a ram out of the flock without blemish; Ezek. 43:23
and thou shalt present them before Jehovah; and the priests shall cast salt upon them, and they shall offer them up for a burnt-offering unto Jehovah. Ezek. 43:24
Seven days shalt thou offer daily a goat for a sin-offering; they shall also offer a young bullock, and a ram out of the flock without blemish. Ezek. 43:25
Seven days shall they make atonement for the altar and purify it, and consecrate it. Ezek. 43:26
And when these days are ended, it shall be that upon the eighth day and onwards the priests shall offer your burnt-offerings upon the altar, and your peace-offerings; and I will accept you, saith the Lord Jehovah. Ezek. 43:27
And he brought me back toward the outer gate of the sanctuary which looked toward the east; and it was shut. Ezek. 44:1
And Jehovah said unto me, This gate shall be shut; it shall not be opened, and no one shall enter in by it: for Jehovah, the God of Israel, hath entered in by it; and it shall be shut. Ezek. 44:2
As for the prince, he, the prince, shall sit in it to eat bread before Jehovah: he shall enter by the way of the porch of the gate, and shall go out by the way of the same. Ezek. 44:3
And he brought me the way of the north gate before the house; and I beheld, and lo, the glory of Jehovah filled the house of Jehovah: and I fell upon my face. Ezek. 44:4
And Jehovah said unto me, Son of man, apply thy heart, and behold with thine eyes, and hear with thine ears all that I say unto thee concerning all the statutes of the house of Jehovah, and all the laws thereof; and mark well the entering in of the house, with every going forth of the sanctuary; Ezek. 44:5
and say to the rebellious, to the house of Israel, Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Let it suffice you of all your abominations, O house of Israel, Ezek. 44:6
in that ye have brought strangers, uncircumcised in heart and uncircumcised in flesh, to be in my sanctuary, to profane it, even my house, when ye offered my bread, the fat and the blood; and they have broken my covenant besides all your abominations. Ezek. 44:7
And ye have not kept the charge of my holy things, but have set keepers of my charge in my sanctuary for yourselves. Ezek. 44:8
Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: No stranger, uncircumcised in heart and uncircumcised in flesh, shall enter into my sanctuary, of any stranger that is among the children of Israel. Ezek. 44:9
But the Levites who went away far from me, when Israel went astray, going astray from me after their idols, they shall even bear their iniquity; Ezek. 44:10
but they shall be ministers in my sanctuary, having oversight at the gates of the house, and doing the service of the house: they shall slaughter the burnt-offering and the sacrifice for the people, and they shall stand before them to minister unto them. Ezek. 44:11
Because they ministered unto them before their idols, and were unto the house of Israel a stumbling-block of iniquity; therefore have I lifted up my hand against them, saith the Lord Jehovah, that they shall bear their iniquity. Ezek. 44:12
And they shall not draw near unto me, to do the office of a priest unto me, nor to draw near to any of my holy things, even to the most holy; but they shall bear their confusion, and their abominations which they have committed. Ezek. 44:13
And I will make them keepers of the charge of the house, for all the service thereof, and for all that shall be done therein. Ezek. 44:14
But the priests, the Levites, the sons of Zadok, that kept the charge of my sanctuary when the children of Israel went astray from me, they shall approach unto me to minister unto me, and they shall stand before me to present unto me the fat and the blood, saith the Lord Jehovah. Ezek. 44:15
And it shall come to pass when they enter in at the gates of the inner court, they shall be clothed with linen garments; and no wool shall come upon them, when they minister in the gates of the inner court, and towards the house. Ezek. 44:17
And when they go forth into the outer court, into the outer court to the people, they shall put off their garments wherein they ministered, and lay them in the holy cells; and they shall put on other garments, that they may not hallow the people with their garments. Ezek. 44:19
Neither shall any priest drink wine when they enter into the inner court. Ezek. 44:21
And they shall not take for their wives a widow, nor her that is put away; but they shall take maidens of the seed of the house of Israel, or a widow that is the widow of a priest. Ezek. 44:22
And they shall teach my people the difference between holy and profane, and cause them to discern between unclean and clean. Ezek. 44:23
And on the day that he goeth into the sanctuary, unto the inner court, to minister in the sanctuary, he shall present his sin-offering, saith the Lord Jehovah. Ezek. 44:27
They shall eat the oblation and the sin-offering and the trespass-offering; and every devoted thing in Israel shall be theirs. Ezek. 44:29
And the first of all the first-fruits of every kind, and every heave-offering of every kind, of all your heave-offerings, shall be for the priests; ye shall also give unto the priest the first of your dough, that he may cause the blessing to rest on thy house. Ezek. 44:30
The priests shall not eat of anything that dieth of itself, or of that which is torn, whether of fowl or of beast. Ezek. 44:31
And when ye shall divide by lot the land for inheritance, ye shall offer a heave-offering unto Jehovah, a holy portion of the land: the length shall be the length of five and twenty thousand cubits, and the breadth ten thousand. This shall be holy in all the borders thereof round about. Ezek. 45:1
Of this there shall be for the sanctuary five hundred reeds by five hundred, square round about; and fifty cubits round about for the suburbs thereof. Ezek. 45:2
And of this measure shalt thou measure the length of five and twenty thousand, and the breadth of ten thousand; and in it shall be the sanctuary, the holy of holies. Ezek. 45:3
This is the holy portion of the land; it shall be for the priests who do the service of the sanctuary, who draw near to serve Jehovah, and it shall be a place for their houses, and a holy place for the sanctuary. Ezek. 45:4
And a space of five and twenty thousand in length, and ten thousand in breadth, shall the Levites, who do the service of the house, have for themselves, for a possession, for their habitations. Ezek. 45:5
And ye shall appoint the possession of the city five thousand in breadth, and five and twenty thousand in length, alongside of the holy heave-offering: it shall be for the whole house of Israel. Ezek. 45:6
And the prince shall have his portion on the one side and on the other side of the holy heave-offering and of the possession of the city, over against the holy heave-offering, and over against the possession of the city, from the west side westward, and from the east side eastward; and in length answering to one of the portions of the tribes from the west border unto the east border. Ezek. 45:7
As land shall it be his for a possession in Israel; and my princes shall no more oppress my people; but they shall give the land to the house of Israel according to their tribes. Ezek. 45:8
Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Let it suffice you, princes of Israel! Put away violence and spoil, and execute judgment and justice; take off your exactions from my people, saith the Lord Jehovah. Ezek. 45:9

And the shekel shall be twenty gerahs; twenty shekels, five and twenty shekels, fifteen shekels, shall be your maneh. Ezek. 45:12
This is the heave-offering which ye shall offer: the sixth part of an ephah out of a homer of wheat, and ye shall give the sixth part of an ephah out of a homer of barley; Ezek. 45:13
and the set portion of oil, by the bath of oil, the tenth part of a bath out of a cor, which is a homer of ten baths, for ten baths are a homer; Ezek. 45:14
and one lamb out of the flock, out of two hundred, from the well-watered pastures of Israel; -- for an oblation, and for a burnt-offering, and for peace-offerings, to make atonement for them, saith the Lord Jehovah. Ezek. 45:15
All the people of the land shall be held to this heave-offering for the prince in Israel. Ezek. 45:16
And it shall be the prince's part to supply the burnt-offerings, and the oblation, and the drink-offering, at the feasts, and at the new moons, and on the sabbaths, in all the solemnities of the house of Israel: it is he that shall prepare the sin-offering, and the oblation, and the burnt-offering, and the peace-offerings, to make atonement for the house of Israel. Ezek. 45:17
Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: In the first month, on the first of the month, thou shalt take a young bullock, without blemish, and thou shalt purge the sanctuary. Ezek. 45:18
And the priest shall take of the blood of the sin-offering, and put it upon the posts of the house, and upon the four corners of the settle of the altar, and upon the posts of the gate of the inner court. Ezek. 45:19
So thou shalt do also on the seventh of the month for every one that erreth, and for the simple; and ye shall make atonement for the house. Ezek. 45:20
In the first month, on the fourteenth day of the month, ye shall have the passover, a feast of seven days: unleavened bread shall be eaten. Ezek. 45:21
And upon that day shall the prince offer for himself and for all the people of the land a bullock for a sin-offering. Ezek. 45:22

In the seventh month, on the fifteenth day of the month, at the feast, shall he do the like seven days, according to the sin-offering, according to the burnt-offering, and according to the oblation, and according to the oil. Ezek. 45:25
Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: The gate of the inner court that looketh toward the east shall be shut the six working-days; but on the sabbath-day it shall be opened, and on the day of the new moon it shall be opened. Ezek. 46:1
And the prince shall enter by the way of the porch of that gate from without, and shall stand by the post of the gate, and the priests shall offer his burnt-offering and his peace-offerings, and he shall worship at the threshold of the gate, and shall go forth: but the gate shall not be shut until the evening. Ezek. 46:2
And the people of the land shall worship at the door of this gate before Jehovah on the sabbaths and on the new moons. Ezek. 46:3
And the burnt-offering that the prince shall present unto Jehovah on the sabbath-day shall be six lambs without blemish, and a ram without blemish. Ezek. 46:4
And the oblation shall be an ephah for a ram, and the oblation for the lambs as he shall be able to give; and oil, a hin for an ephah. Ezek. 46:5
And on the day of the new moon, a young bullock without blemish, and six lambs, and a ram: they shall be without blemish. Ezek. 46:6
And he shall offer an oblation, an ephah for the bullock, and an ephah for the ram, and for the lambs according to what his hand may attain unto; and oil, a hin for an ephah. Ezek. 46:7
And when the prince cometh in, he shall come in by the way of the porch of the gate, and he shall go out by the way thereof. Ezek. 46:8
And when the people of the land come in before Jehovah in the set feasts, he that cometh in by the way of the north gate to worship shall go out by the way of the south gate; and he that cometh in by the way of the south gate shall go out by the way of the north gate: he shall not return by the way of the gate by which he came in, but shall go out straight before him. Ezek. 46:9
And the prince shall come in in the midst of them, when they come in; and when they go out, they shall go out together. Ezek. 46:10
And on the feast-days, and in the solemnities, the oblation shall be an ephah for a bullock and an ephah for a ram, and for the lambs as he is able to give; and oil, a hin for an ephah. Ezek. 46:11
And when the prince shall offer a voluntary burnt-offering or voluntary peace-offerings unto Jehovah, the gate that looketh toward the east shall be opened for him and he shall offer his burnt-offering and his peace-offerings as he did on the sabbath-day, and he shall go out again, and the gate shall be shut after he hath gone out. Ezek. 46:12
And thou shalt prepare an oblation with it every morning, the sixth part of an ephah, and of oil the third part of a hin, to moisten the fine flour: an oblation unto Jehovah continually by a perpetual ordinance. Ezek. 46:14
They shall offer the lamb, and the oblation, and the oil, every morning for a continual burnt-offering. Ezek. 46:15
Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: If the prince give a gift unto any of his sons, it shall be that one's inheritance, for his sons: it shall be their possession by inheritance. Ezek. 46:16
But if he give a gift of his inheritance to one of his servants, it shall be his until the year of liberty; and it shall return to the prince: to his sons alone shall his inheritance remain. Ezek. 46:17
And the prince shall not take of the people's inheritance, to thrust them by oppression out of their possession: he shall give his sons an inheritance out of his own possession: that my people be not scattered every one from his possession. Ezek. 46:18
Then he brought me through the passage which was at the side of the gate, into the holy cells which were for the priests, which looked toward the north; and behold, a place was there at the end westward. Ezek. 46:19
And he said unto me, This is the place where the priests shall boil the trespass-offering, and the sin-offering, and where they shall bake the oblation, that they bring them not out into the outer court, so as to hallow the people. Ezek. 46:20
And he brought me forth into the outer court, and caused me to pass by the four corners of the court; and behold, in every corner of the court there was a court. Ezek. 46:21
In the four corners of the court there were enclosed courts, forty cubits long and thirty broad: these four corner courts were of one measure. Ezek. 46:22
And there was a row of building round about in them, round about those four, and it was made with boiling places under the rows round about. Ezek. 46:23
And he said unto me, These are the boiling-houses, where those who do the service of the house shall boil the sacrifice of the people. Ezek. 46:24
And he brought me back to the door of the house; and behold, waters issued out from under the threshold of the house eastward: for the front of the house was eastward. And the waters came down from under, from the right side of the house, south of the altar. Ezek. 47:1
And he brought me out by the way of the gate northward, and led me round outside unto the outer gate towards the gate that looketh eastward; and behold, waters ran out on the right side. Ezek. 47:2
When the man went forth eastward, a line was in his hand; and he measured a thousand cubits, and he caused me to pass through the waters: the waters were to the ankles. Ezek. 47:3
And he measured a thousand cubits, and caused me to pass through the waters: the waters were to the knees. And he measured a thousand and caused me to pass through: the waters were to the loins. Ezek. 47:4
And he measured a thousand: it was a river that I could not pass through, for the waters were risen, waters to swim in, a river that could not be passed through. Ezek. 47:5
And he said unto me, Son of man, hast thou seen this? And he led me, and brought me back to the bank of the river. Ezek. 47:6
When I returned, behold, on the bank of the river were very many trees on the one side and on the other. Ezek. 47:7
And he said unto me, These waters issue out toward the east district, and go down into the plain, and go into the sea; when they are brought forth into the sea, the waters thereof shall be healed. Ezek. 47:8
And it shall come to pass that every living thing which moveth, whithersoever the double river shall come, shall live. And there shall be a very great multitude of fish; for these waters shall come thither, and the waters of the sea shall be healed; and everything shall live whither the river cometh. Ezek. 47:9
And it shall come to pass, that fishers shall stand upon it; from En-gedi even unto En-eglaim shall be a place to spread forth nets: their fish shall be according to their kinds, as the fish of the great sea, exceeding many. Ezek. 47:10
And by the river, upon its bank, on the one side and on the other, shall grow all trees for food, whose leaf shall not fade, nor their fruit fail: it shall bring forth new fruit every month, for its waters issue out of the sanctuary; and the fruit thereof shall be for food, and the leaf thereof for medicine. Ezek. 47:12
Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: This shall be the border whereby ye shall allot the land as inheritance according to the twelve tribes of Israel: Joseph shall have two portions. Ezek. 47:13
And ye shall inherit it, one as well as another, the land concerning which I lifted up my hand to give it unto your fathers; and this land shall fall to you for inheritance. Ezek. 47:14
And this shall be the border of the land: toward the north side, from the great sea, the way of Hethlon, as one goeth to Zedad, Ezek. 47:15
Hamath, Berothah, Sibraim, which is between the border of Damascus and the border of Hamath; Hazer-hatticon, which is by the border of Hauran. Ezek. 47:16
And the border from the sea shall be Hazar-enan, the border of Damascus, and the north northward, and the border of Hamath: this is the north side. Ezek. 47:17
-- And on the east side ye shall measure between Hauran and Damascus, and Gilead and the land of Israel by the Jordan, from the border unto the east sea: this is the east side. Ezek. 47:18
-- And the south side southward, from Tamar to the waters of Meribah-Kadesh, by the torrent, unto the great sea: this is the south side southward. Ezek. 47:19
-- And the west side shall be the great sea from the border, as far as over against the entering into Hamath: this is the west side. Ezek. 47:20
And ye shall divide this land unto you according to the tribes of Israel. Ezek. 47:21
And it shall come to pass that ye shall divide it by lot for an inheritance unto you, and to the strangers that sojourn among you, who shall beget children among you; and they shall be unto you as the home-born among the children of Israel: with you shall they draw by lot inheritance among the tribes of Israel. Ezek. 47:22
And it shall come to pass that in the tribe in which the stranger sojourneth, there shall ye give him his inheritance, saith the Lord Jehovah. Ezek. 47:23
And these are the names of the tribes: From the north end along the way of Hethlon, as one entereth into Hamath, Hazar-enan, the border of Damascus northward unto near Hamath -- the east and west side belonging to him -- shall Dan have one portion. Ezek. 48:1
And by the border of Dan, from the east side unto the west side, Asher one. Ezek. 48:2
And by the border of Asher, from the east side even unto the west side, Naphtali one. Ezek. 48:3
And by the border of Naphtali, from the east side unto the west side, Manasseh one. Ezek. 48:4
And by the border of Manasseh, from the east side unto the west side, Ephraim one. Ezek. 48:5
And by the border of Ephraim, from the east side even unto the west side, Reuben one. Ezek. 48:6
And by the border of Reuben, from the east side unto the west side, Judah one. Ezek. 48:7
And by the border of Judah, from the east side unto the west side, shall be the heave-offering that ye shall offer, five and twenty thousand cubits in breadth, and in length as one of the parts from the east side unto the west side: and the sanctuary shall be in the midst of it. Ezek. 48:8
The heave-offering that ye shall offer unto Jehovah shall be five and twenty thousand in length, and ten thousand in breadth. Ezek. 48:9
And for them, for the priests, shall be the holy heave-offering, toward the north five and twenty thousand, and toward the west the breadth ten thousand, and toward the east the breadth ten thousand, and toward the south the length five and twenty thousand: and the sanctuary of Jehovah shall be in the midst of it. Ezek. 48:10
It shall be for the priests that are hallowed of the sons of Zadok, who kept my charge and went not astray when the children of Israel went astray, as the Levites went astray. Ezek. 48:11
And this offering heaved from the heave-offering of the land shall be unto them a thing most holy, by the border of the Levites. Ezek. 48:12
And answering to the border of the priests, the Levites shall have five and twenty thousand in length, and ten thousand in breadth: the whole length shall be five and twenty thousand, and the breadth ten thousand. Ezek. 48:13
And they shall not sell of it, neither exchange, nor alienate the first-fruits of the land: for it is holy unto Jehovah. Ezek. 48:14
And the five thousand that are left in the breadth over against the five and twenty thousand, shall be a common place for the city, for dwellings and for suburbs: and the city shall be in the midst of it. Ezek. 48:15
And these shall be the measures thereof: the north side four thousand and five hundred cubits, and the south side four thousand and five hundred, and the east side four thousand and five hundred, and the west side four thousand and five hundred. Ezek. 48:16
And the suburbs of the city shall be toward the north two hundred and fifty cubits, and toward the south two hundred and fifty, and toward the east two hundred and fifty, and toward the west two hundred and fifty. Ezek. 48:17
And the residue in length, alongside the holy heave-offering, shall be ten thousand eastward and ten thousand westward: it shall be alongside the holy heave-offering; and the increase thereof shall be for the support of them that serve the city. Ezek. 48:18
And they that serve the city shall serve it out of all the tribes of Israel. Ezek. 48:19
The whole heave-offering shall be five and twenty thousand by five and twenty thousand; ye shall offer the holy heave-offering foursquare with the possession of the city. Ezek. 48:20
And the rest shall be for the prince, on the one side and on the other of the holy heave-offering and of the possession of the city, in front of the five and twenty thousand of the heave-offering toward the east border, and westward in front of the five and twenty thousand toward the west border, answering to the other portions: it shall be for the prince; and the holy heave-offering and the sanctuary of the house shall be in the midst of it. Ezek. 48:21
And from the possession of the Levites and from the possession of the city, being in the midst of that which shall be the prince's, between the border of Judah and the border of Benjamin, shall be for the prince. Ezek. 48:22
And as for the rest of the tribes: from the east side unto the west side, Benjamin one portion. Ezek. 48:23
And by the border of Benjamin, from the east side unto the west side, Simeon one. Ezek. 48:24

And by the border of Zebulun, from the east side unto the west side, Gad one. Ezek. 48:27
And by the border of Gad, at the south side southward, the border shall be from Tamar to the waters of Meribah-Kadesh, by the torrent, unto the great sea. Ezek. 48:28
This is the land which ye shall divide by lot unto the tribes of Israel for inheritance, and these are their portions, saith the Lord Jehovah. Ezek. 48:29
And these are the goings out of the city. On the north side, four thousand and five hundred cubits by measure. Ezek. 48:30
And the gates of the city shall be after the names of the tribes of Israel: three gates northward: the gate of Reuben, one; the gate of Judah, one; the gate of Levi, one. Ezek. 48:31
And at the east side four thousand and five hundred, and three gates: the gate of Joseph, one; the gate of Benjamin, one; the gate of Dan, one. Ezek. 48:32

At the west side four thousand and five hundred, and their three gates: the gate of Gad, one; the gate of Asher, one; the gate of Naphtali, one. Ezek. 48:34
Round about it was eighteen thousand cubits; and the name of the city from that day, Jehovah is there. Ezek. 48:35
* In the third year of the reign of Jehoiakim king of Judah came Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon unto Jerusalem, and besieged it. Dan. 1:1
And the Lord gave Jehoiakim king of Judah into his hand, and a part of the vessels of the house of God; and he carried them into the land of Shinar, to the house of his god; and he brought the vessels into the treasure-house of his god. Dan. 1:2
And the king spoke unto Ashpenaz the chief of his eunuchs, that he should bring of the children of Israel, both of the royal seed and of the nobles, Dan. 1:3
youths in whom was no blemish, and of goodly countenance, and skilful in all wisdom, and acquainted with knowledge, and understanding science, and such as had ability in them to stand in the king's palace, and whom they might teach the learning and the language of the Chaldeans. Dan. 1:4
And the king appointed unto them a daily provision of the king's delicate food, and of the wine that he drank, to nourish them three years, that at the end thereof they might stand before the king. Dan. 1:5
Now among these were of the children of Judah, Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah. Dan. 1:6
And the prince of the eunuchs gave them names: to Daniel he gave the name Belteshazzar, and to Hananiah, Shadrach, and to Mishael, Meshach, and to Azariah, Abed-nego. Dan. 1:7
And Daniel purposed in his heart that he would not pollute himself with the king's delicate food, nor with the wine which he drank; and he requested of the prince of the eunuchs that he might not have to pollute himself. Dan. 1:8
And God granted Daniel favour and mercy before the prince of the eunuchs. Dan. 1:9
And the prince of the eunuchs said unto Daniel, I fear my lord the king who hath appointed your food and your drink; for why should he see your faces worse liking than the youths who are of your age? and ye would endanger my head with the king. Dan. 1:10
And Daniel said to the steward, whom the prince of the eunuchs had set over Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah, Dan. 1:11
then let our countenances be looked upon before thee, and the countenance of the youths that eat of the king's delicate food: and as thou shalt see, deal with thy servants. Dan. 1:13
And at the end of ten days their countenances appeared fairer and were fatter in flesh than all the youths that ate of the king's delicate food. Dan. 1:15
So the steward took away their delicate food, and the wine that they should drink; and gave them pulse. Dan. 1:16
And at the end of the days that the king had said he should bring them in, the prince of the eunuchs brought them in before Nebuchadnezzar. Dan. 1:18
And the king spoke with them; and among them all was found none like Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah: and they stood before the king. Dan. 1:19
And in all matters of judicious wisdom, as to which the king enquired of them, he found them ten times better than all the scribes and magicians that were in all his realm. Dan. 1:20
And Daniel continued unto the first year of king Cyrus. Dan. 1:21
And in the second year of the reign of Nebuchadnezzar, Nebuchadnezzar dreamed dreams, and his spirit was troubled, and his sleep went from him. Dan. 2:1
And the king commanded to call the scribes, and the magicians, and the sorcerers, and the Chaldeans, to shew the king his dreams; and they came and stood before the king. Dan. 2:2
And the king said unto them, I have dreamed a dream, and my spirit is troubled to know the dream. Dan. 2:3
And the Chaldeans spoke to the king in Aramaic, O king, live for ever! tell thy servants the dream, and we will shew the interpretation. Dan. 2:4
The king answered and said to the Chaldeans, The command is gone forth from me: If ye do not make known unto me the dream, and its interpretation, ye shall be cut in pieces, and your houses shall be made a dunghill. Dan. 2:5
But if ye shew the dream and its interpretation, ye shall receive of me gifts and rewards and great honour; therefore shew me the dream and its interpretation. Dan. 2:6
They answered the second time and said, Let the king tell his servants the dream, and we will shew the interpretation. Dan. 2:7
The king answered and said, I know of a certainty that ye would gain time, because ye see the word is gone forth from me; Dan. 2:8
but if ye do not make known unto me the dream, there is but one decree for you; for ye have prepared lying and corrupt words to speak before me, till the time be changed: therefore tell me the dream, and I shall know that ye can shew me its interpretation. Dan. 2:9
The Chaldeans answered before the king and said, There is not a man upon the earth that can shew the king's matter; therefore there is no king, however great and powerful, that hath asked such a thing of any scribe, or magician, or Chaldean. Dan. 2:10
For the thing that the king demandeth is extraordinary, and there is none other that can shew it before the king, except the gods, whose dwelling is not with flesh. Dan. 2:11
For this cause the king was irritated and very wroth, and commanded to destroy all the wise men of Babylon. Dan. 2:12
And the decree went forth that the wise men were to be slain; and they sought Daniel and his companions to slay them. Dan. 2:13
Then Daniel answered with counsel and prudence to Arioch the chief of the king's bodyguard, who had gone forth to slay the wise men of Babylon: Dan. 2:14
he answered and said to Arioch the king's captain, Why is the decree so rigorous from the king? Then Arioch made the thing known to Daniel. Dan. 2:15
And Daniel went in, and requested of the king that he would give him time, that he might shew the king the interpretation. Dan. 2:16
Then Daniel went to his house, and made the thing known to Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah, his companions; Dan. 2:17
that they would desire mercies of the God of the heavens concerning this secret; that Daniel and his companions should not perish with the rest of the wise men of Babylon. Dan. 2:18
Then was the secret revealed unto Daniel in a night vision. Then Daniel blessed the God of the heavens. Dan. 2:19
Daniel answered and said, Blessed be the name of God for ever and ever; For wisdom and might are his. Dan. 2:20
And it is he that changeth times and seasons; He deposeth kings, and setteth up kings; He giveth wisdom to the wise, And knowledge to them that know understanding. Dan. 2:21
It is he that revealeth the deep and secret things; He knoweth what is in the darkness, and the light dwelleth with him. Dan. 2:22
I thank thee, and I praise thee, O God of my fathers, Who hast given me wisdom and might, And hast made known unto me already what we desired of thee; For thou hast made known unto us the king's matter. Dan. 2:23
Therefore Daniel went in unto Arioch, whom the king had appointed to destroy the wise men of Babylon; he went and said thus unto him: Destroy not the wise men of Babylon; bring me in before the king, and I will shew unto the king the interpretation. Dan. 2:24
Then Arioch brought in Daniel before the king in haste, and said thus unto him: I have found a man of the sons of the captivity of Judah that will make known unto the king the interpretation. Dan. 2:25
The king answered and said unto Daniel, whose name was Belteshazzar, Art thou able to make known unto me the dream that I have seen, and its interpretation? Dan. 2:26
Daniel answered in the presence of the king and said, The secret that the king hath demanded cannot the wise men, the magicians, the scribes, the astrologers, shew unto the king; Dan. 2:27
but there is a God in the heavens, who revealeth secrets, and maketh known to king Nebuchadnezzar what shall be at the end of days. Thy dream, and the visions of thy head upon thy bed are these: Dan. 2:28
And as for me, this secret is revealed to me, not by any wisdom that I have more than any living, but to the intent that the interpretation should be made known to the king, and that thou mightest know the thoughts of thy heart. Dan. 2:30
Thou sawest till a stone was cut out without hands; and it smote the image upon its feet of iron and clay, and broke them to pieces. Dan. 2:34
Then was the iron, the clay, the brass, the silver, and the gold broken in pieces together, and they became like the chaff of the summer threshing-floors; and the wind carried them away, and no place was found for them. And the stone that smote the image became a great mountain, and filled the whole earth. Dan. 2:35
This is the dream; and we will tell the interpretation of it before the king. Dan. 2:36
Thou, O king, art a king of kings, unto whom the God of the heavens hath given the kingdom, the power, and the strength, and the glory; Dan. 2:37
and wheresoever the children of men, the beasts of the field, and the fowl of the heavens dwell, he hath given them into thy hand, and hath made thee ruler over them all: thou art this head of gold. Dan. 2:38
And after thee shall arise another kingdom inferior to thee; then another third kingdom of brass, which shall bear rule over all the earth. Dan. 2:39
And the fourth kingdom shall be strong as iron: forasmuch as iron breaketh in pieces and subdueth everything, and as iron that breaketh all these, so shall it break in pieces and bruise. Dan. 2:40
And whereas thou sawest the feet and toes, part of potter's clay, and part of iron, the kingdom shall be divided; but there shall be in it of the strength of the iron, forasmuch as thou sawest the iron mixed with miry clay. Dan. 2:41
And as the toes of the feet were part of iron and part of clay, the kingdom shall be partly strong and partly fragile. Dan. 2:42
And whereas thou sawest the iron mixed with miry clay, they shall mingle themselves with the seed of men; but they shall not cleave one to another, even as iron doth not mingle with clay. Dan. 2:43
And in the days of these kings shall the God of the heavens set up a kingdom which shall never be destroyed; and the sovereignty thereof shall not be left to another people: it shall break in pieces and consume all these kingdoms, but itself shall stand for ever. Dan. 2:44
Forasmuch as thou sawest that a stone was cut out of the mountain without hands, and that it broke in pieces the iron, the brass, the clay, the silver, and the gold, -- the great God hath made known to the king what shall come to pass hereafter. And the dream is certain, and the interpretation of it sure. Dan. 2:45
The king answered Daniel and said, Of a truth it is that your God is the God of gods, and the Lord of kings, and a revealer of secrets, because thou wast able to reveal this secret. Dan. 2:47
Then the king made Daniel great, and gave him many great gifts, and made him ruler over the whole province of Babylon, and chief of the governors over all the wise men of Babylon. Dan. 2:48
And Daniel requested of the king, and he appointed Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego over the administration of the province of Babylon. And Daniel was in the gate of the king. Dan. 2:49
Nebuchadnezzar the king made an image of gold, whose height was sixty cubits, and its breadth six cubits; he set it up in the plain of Dura, in the province of Babylon. Dan. 3:1
And Nebuchadnezzar the king sent to gather together the satraps, the prefects, and the governors, the judges, the treasurers, the counsellors, the justices, and all the rulers of the provinces, to come to the dedication of the image that Nebuchadnezzar the king had set up. Dan. 3:2
Then the satraps, the prefects, and the governors, the judges, the treasurers, the counsellors, the justices, and all the rulers of the provinces, were gathered together unto the dedication of the image that Nebuchadnezzar the king had set up; and they stood before the image that Nebuchadnezzar had set up. Dan. 3:3
And the herald cried aloud, To you it is commanded, O peoples, nations, and languages, Dan. 3:4
that at what time ye hear the sound of the cornet, pipe, lute, sambuca, psaltery, bagpipe, and all kinds of music, ye fall down and worship the golden image that Nebuchadnezzar the king hath set up; Dan. 3:5
and whosoever doth not fall down and worship shall that same hour be cast into the midst of a burning fiery furnace. Dan. 3:6
Therefore at that time when all the peoples heard the sound of the cornet, pipe, lute, sambuca, psaltery, and all kinds of music, all the peoples, the nations, and the languages fell down and worshipped the golden image that Nebuchadnezzar the king had set up. Dan. 3:7
Whereupon at that time certain Chaldeans came near, and accused the Jews. Dan. 3:8
They spoke and said to the king Nebuchadnezzar, O king, live for ever! Dan. 3:9
Thou, O king, hast made a decree, that every man that shall hear the sound of the cornet, pipe, lute, sambuca, psaltery, and bagpipe, and all kinds of music, shall fall down and worship the golden image; Dan. 3:10
and that whosoever doth not fall down and worship, shall be cast into the midst of a burning fiery furnace. Dan. 3:11
There are certain Jews whom thou hast appointed over the administration of the province of Babylon: Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego: these men, O king, regard thee not; they serve not thy gods, nor worship the golden image that thou hast set up. Dan. 3:12
Then Nebuchadnezzar in rage and fury commanded to bring Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego. Then were these men brought before the king. Dan. 3:13
Nebuchadnezzar spoke and said unto them, Is it of purpose, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego, that ye serve not my god, nor worship the golden image that I have set up? Dan. 3:14
Now if ye be ready at the time that ye hear the sound of the cornet, pipe, lute, sambuca, psaltery, and bagpipe, and all kinds of music, to fall down and worship the image that I have made, well: but if ye worship not, ye shall be cast that same hour into the midst of a burning fiery furnace: and who is the God that shall deliver you out of my hands? Dan. 3:15
Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego answered and said to the king, O Nebuchadnezzar, we have no need to answer thee in this matter. Dan. 3:16
If it be so, our God whom we serve is able to deliver us from the burning fiery furnace, and he will deliver us out of thy hand, O king. Dan. 3:17
But if not, be it known unto thee, O king, that we will not serve thy gods, nor worship the golden image that thou hast set up. Dan. 3:18
Then was Nebuchadnezzar full of fury, and the form of his visage was changed against Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego. He spoke, and commanded that they should heat the furnace seven times more than it was wont to be heated. Dan. 3:19
And he commanded the most mighty men that were in his army to bind Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego, and cast them into the burning fiery furnace. Dan. 3:20
Then these men were bound in their hosen, their tunics, and their cloaks, and their garments, and were cast into the midst of the burning fiery furnace. Dan. 3:21
Forasmuch as the king's commandment was rigorous, and the furnace exceeding hot, the flame of the fire slew those men that had taken up Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego. Dan. 3:22
And these three men, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego, fell down bound into the midst of the burning fiery furnace. Dan. 3:23
Then Nebuchadnezzar the king was astonied, and rose up in haste; he spoke and said unto his counsellors, Did not we cast three men bound into the midst of the fire? They answered and said to the king, True, O king. Dan. 3:24
He answered and said, Lo, I see four men loose, walking in the midst of the fire, and they have no hurt; and the appearance of the fourth is like a son of God. Dan. 3:25
Then Nebuchadnezzar came near to the opening of the burning fiery furnace; he spoke and said, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego, ye servants of the Most High God, come forth, and come hither. Then Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego came forth from the midst of the fire. Dan. 3:26
And the satraps, the prefects, and the governors, and the king's counsellors, being gathered together, saw these men, upon whose bodies the fire had had no power, nor was the hair of their head singed, neither were their hosen changed, nor had the smell of fire passed on them. Dan. 3:27
Nebuchadnezzar spoke and said, Blessed be the God of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego, who hath sent his angel, and delivered his servants who trusted in him, and who changed the king's word, and yielded their bodies, that they might not serve nor worship any god, except their own God! Dan. 3:28
Therefore I make a decree, that in every people, nation, and language, he who shall speak anything amiss against the God of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego, shall be cut in pieces, and his house shall be made a dunghill: because there is no other God that is able to deliver after this sort. Dan. 3:29
Then the king promoted Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego in the province of Babylon. Dan. 3:30
Nebuchadnezzar the king unto all the peoples, nations, and languages, that dwell in all the earth: Peace be multiplied unto you. Dan. 4:1
It hath seemed good unto me to declare the signs and wonders that the Most High God hath wrought toward me. Dan. 4:2
I saw a dream which made me afraid, and the thoughts upon my bed and the visions of my head troubled me. Dan. 4:5
And I made a decree to bring in all the wise men of Babylon before me, that they might make known unto me the interpretation of the dream. Dan. 4:6
Then came in the scribes, the magicians, the Chaldeans, and the astrologers; and I told the dream before them; but they did not make known unto me the interpretation of it. Dan. 4:7
But at the last Daniel came in before me, whose name is Belteshazzar, according to the name of my god, and in whom is the spirit of the holy gods; and before him I told the dream: Dan. 4:8
O Belteshazzar, master of the scribes, because I know that the spirit of the holy gods is in thee, and no secret is too hard for thee, tell me the visions of my dream which I have seen, and the interpretation of it. Dan. 4:9
Thus were the visions of my head upon my bed: I saw, and behold a tree in the midst of the earth, and its height was great. Dan. 4:10
The tree grew, and was strong, and its height reached unto the heavens, and the sight thereof to the end of all the earth. Dan. 4:11
Its leaves were beautiful, and its fruit abundant, and in it was food for all: the beasts of the field found shade under it, and the birds of the heavens dwelt in its branches, and all flesh was fed from it. Dan. 4:12
I saw in the visions of my head upon my bed, and behold, a watcher and a holy one came down from the heavens; Dan. 4:13
he cried aloud, and said thus: Hew down the tree, and cut off its branches, shake off its leaves, and scatter its fruit; let the beasts get away from under it, and the birds from its branches. Dan. 4:14
Nevertheless leave the stump of its roots in the earth, even with a band of iron and brass, in the tender grass of the field; and let it be bathed with the dew of heaven, and let his portion be with the beasts in the grass of the earth. Dan. 4:15
This sentence is by the decree of the watchers, and the decision by the word of the holy ones: that the living may know that the Most High ruleth over the kingdom of men, and giveth it to whomsoever he will, and setteth up over it the basest of men. Dan. 4:17
This dream I, king Nebuchadnezzar, have seen; and thou, Belteshazzar, tell the interpretation, forasmuch as all the wise men of my kingdom are not able to make known unto me the interpretation; but thou art able, for the spirit of the holy gods is in thee. Dan. 4:18
Then Daniel, whose name is Belteshazzar, was astonied for one hour, and his thoughts troubled him. The king spoke and said, Belteshazzar, let not the dream, nor its interpretation, trouble thee. Belteshazzar answered and said, My lord, the dream be to them that hate thee, and its interpretation to thine enemies! Dan. 4:19
The tree that thou sawest, which grew and was strong, whose height reached unto the heavens, and the sight of it to all the earth; Dan. 4:20
whose leaves were beautiful, and its fruit abundant, and in it was food for all; under which the beasts of the field dwelt, and in whose branches the birds of the heavens had their habitation: Dan. 4:21
it is thou, O king, who art grown and become strong; for thy greatness is grown, and reacheth unto the heavens, and thy dominion to the end of the earth. Dan. 4:22
And whereas the king saw a watcher and a holy one coming down from the heavens, and saying, Hew the tree down, and destroy it; nevertheless leave the stump of its roots in the earth, even with a band of iron and brass, in the tender grass of the field; and let it be bathed with the dew of heaven, and let his portion be with the beasts of the field, till seven times pass over him: Dan. 4:23
this is the interpretation, O king, and it is the decree of the Most High, which cometh upon my lord the king: Dan. 4:24
They shall drive thee from men, and thy dwelling shall be with the beasts of the field, and they shall make thee to eat grass as oxen, and thou shalt be bathed with the dew of heaven; and seven times shall pass over thee, till thou know that the Most High ruleth over the kingdom of men, and giveth it to whomsoever he will. Dan. 4:25
And whereas it was commanded to leave the stump of the roots of the tree; thy kingdom shall remain unto thee, after that thou shalt know that the heavens do rule. Dan. 4:26
Therefore, O king, let my counsel be acceptable unto thee, and break off thy sins by righteousness, and thine iniquities by shewing mercy to the poor; if it may be a lengthening of thy tranquillity. Dan. 4:27
At the end of twelve months he was walking upon the royal palace of Babylon: Dan. 4:29
the king spoke and said, Is not this great Babylon, that I have built for the house of the kingdom by the might of my power and for the glory of my majesty? Dan. 4:30
While the word was in the king's mouth, there fell a voice from the heavens: King Nebuchadnezzar, to thee it is spoken: The kingdom is departed from thee; Dan. 4:31
and they shall drive thee from men, and thy dwelling shall be with the beasts of the field; they shall make thee to eat grass as oxen, and seven times shall pass over thee, until thou know that the Most High ruleth over the kingdom of men, and giveth it to whomsoever he will. Dan. 4:32
The same hour was the word fulfilled upon Nebuchadnezzar; and he was driven from men, and ate grass as oxen; and his body was bathed with the dew of heaven, till his hair grew like eagles' feathers, and his nails like birds' claws. Dan. 4:33
And at the end of the days I Nebuchadnezzar lifted up mine eyes unto the heavens, and mine understanding returned unto me, and I blessed the Most High, and I praised and honoured him that liveth for ever, whose dominion is an everlasting dominion, and his kingdom is from generation to generation. Dan. 4:34
And all the inhabitants of the earth are reputed as nothing; and he doeth according to his will in the army of the heavens, and among the inhabitants of the earth; and none can stay his hand, or say unto him, What doest thou? Dan. 4:35
At the same time mine understanding returned unto me; and for the glory of my kingdom, my majesty and brightness returned unto me; and my counsellors and my nobles sought me; and I was established in my kingdom, and excellent greatness was added unto me. Dan. 4:36
Now I Nebuchadnezzar praise and extol and honour the King of the heavens, all whose works are truth, and his paths judgment: and those that walk in pride he is able to abase. Dan. 4:37
Belshazzar the king made a great feast to a thousand of his nobles, and drank wine before the thousand. Dan. 5:1
Belshazzar, while he tasted the wine, commanded to bring the golden and silver vessels that Nebuchadnezzar his father had taken out of the temple which was in Jerusalem; that the king and his nobles, his wives and his concubines, might drink in them. Dan. 5:2
Then they brought the golden vessels that were taken out of the temple of the house of God which was at Jerusalem; and the king and his nobles, his wives and his concubines, drank in them. Dan. 5:3
They drank wine, and praised the gods of gold and of silver, of brass, of iron, of wood, and of stone. Dan. 5:4
In the same hour came forth fingers of a man's hand, and wrote over against the candlestick upon the plaster of the wall of the king's palace: and the king saw the part of the hand that wrote. Dan. 5:5
Then the king's countenance was changed, and his thoughts troubled him, and the joints of his loins were loosed, and his knees smote one against another. Dan. 5:6
The king cried aloud to bring in the magicians, the Chaldeans, and the astrologers. The king spoke and said to the wise men of Babylon, Whosoever shall read this writing, and shew me the interpretation thereof, shall be clothed with purple, and have a chain of gold about his neck, and shall be the third ruler in the kingdom. Dan. 5:7
Then came in all the king's wise men, but they could not read the writing, nor make known to the king the interpretation. Dan. 5:8
-- The queen, by reason of the words of the king and his nobles, came into the banquet-house. The queen spoke and said, O king, live for ever! let not thy thoughts trouble thee, neither let thy countenance be changed. Dan. 5:10
There is a man in thy kingdom in whom is the spirit of the holy gods; and in the days of thy father, light and understanding and wisdom, like the wisdom of the gods was found in him; and the king Nebuchadnezzar thy father, even the king thy father, made him master of the scribes, magicians, Chaldeans, and astrologers; Dan. 5:11
forasmuch as an excellent spirit, and knowledge, and understanding, interpreting of dreams, and shewing of hard sentences, and solving of problems, were found in the same Daniel, whom the king named Belteshazzar. Now let Daniel be called, and he will shew the interpretation. Dan. 5:12
Then was Daniel brought in before the king. The king spoke and said unto Daniel, Art thou that Daniel, of the children of the captivity of Judah, whom the king my father brought out of Judah? Dan. 5:13
And I have heard of thee, that the spirit of the gods is in thee, and that light and understanding and excellent wisdom is found in thee. Dan. 5:14
And now the wise men, the magicians, have been brought in before me, that they should read this writing, and make known unto me the interpretation thereof; but they could not shew the interpretation of the thing. Dan. 5:15
But I have heard of thee, that thou canst give interpretations, and solve problems. Now if thou canst read the writing, and make known to me the interpretation thereof, thou shalt be clothed with purple, and have a chain of gold about thy neck, and shalt be the third ruler in the kingdom. Dan. 5:16
Then Daniel answered and said before the king, Let thy gifts be to thyself, and give thy rewards to another; yet will I read the writing to the king, and make known to him the interpretation. Dan. 5:17
O thou king, the Most High God gave Nebuchadnezzar thy father the kingdom, and greatness, and glory, and majesty; Dan. 5:18
and for the greatness that he gave him, all peoples, nations, and languages, trembled and feared before him: whom he would he slew, and whom he would he kept alive; and whom he would he exalted, and whom he would he humbled. Dan. 5:19
But when his heart was lifted up, and his spirit hardened unto presumption, he was deposed from the throne of his kingdom, and they took his glory from him; Dan. 5:20
and he was driven from the sons of men, and his heart was made like the beasts, and his dwelling was with the wild asses; they fed him with grass like oxen, and his body was bathed with the dew of heaven; till he knew that the Most High God ruleth over the kingdom of men, and that he appointeth over it whomsoever he will. Dan. 5:21
but hast lifted up thyself against the Lord of the heavens; and they have brought the vessels of his house before thee, and thou and thy nobles, thy wives and thy concubines, have drunk wine in them; and thou hast praised the gods of silver and gold, of brass, iron, wood, and stone, which see not, nor hear, nor know; and the God in whose hand thy breath is, and whose are all thy ways, hast thou not glorified: Dan. 5:23
then from before him was sent the part of the hand, and this writing hath been written. Dan. 5:24
And this is the writing that is written: MENE, MENE, TEKEL, UPHARSIN. Dan. 5:25
This is the interpretation of the thing: MENE, God hath numbered thy kingdom, and finished it; Dan. 5:26
TEKEL, Thou art weighed in the balances, and art found wanting; Dan. 5:27
PERES, Thy kingdom is divided, and given to the Medes and Persians. Dan. 5:28
Then Belshazzar commanded, and they clothed Daniel with purple, and put a chain of gold about his neck, and made proclamation concerning him that he should be the third ruler in the kingdom. Dan. 5:29
In that night was Belshazzar the king of the Chaldeans slain. Dan. 5:30
And Darius the Mede received the kingdom, being about sixty-two years old. Dan. 5:31
It pleased Darius to set over the kingdom a hundred and twenty satraps, who should be in all the kingdom; Dan. 6:1
and over these, three presidents -- of whom Daniel was one -- to whom these satraps should render account, and that the king should suffer no loss. Dan. 6:2
Now this Daniel surpassed the presidents and the satraps, because an excellent spirit was in him; and the king thought to appoint him over the whole realm. Dan. 6:3
Then the presidents and the satraps sought to find a pretext against Daniel with respect to the kingdom; but they could not find any pretext or fault; inasmuch as he was faithful, neither was there any error or fault found in him. Dan. 6:4
Then said these men, We shall not find any pretext against this Daniel, unless we find it against him touching the law of his God. Dan. 6:5
Then these presidents and satraps came in a body to the king, and said thus unto him: King Darius, live for ever! Dan. 6:6
All the presidents of the kingdom, the prefects, and the satraps, the counsellors, and the governors have consulted together to establish a royal statute, and to make a firm decree, that whosoever shall ask a petition of any god or man for thirty days, except of thee, O king, he shall be cast into the den of lions. Dan. 6:7
Now, O king, establish the decree, and sign the writing, that it be not changed, according to the law of the Medes and Persians, which may not be revoked. Dan. 6:8
Therefore king Darius signed the writing and the decree. Dan. 6:9
And when Daniel knew that the writing was signed, he went into his house; and, his windows being open in his upper chamber toward Jerusalem, he kneeled on his knees three times a day, and prayed and gave thanks before his God, as he did aforetime. Dan. 6:10
Then they came near, and spoke before the king concerning the king's decree: Hast thou not signed a decree, that every man that shall ask anything of any god or man within thirty days, except of thee, O king, shall be cast into the den of lions? The king answered and said, The thing is true, according to the law of the Medes and Persians, which may not be revoked. Dan. 6:12
Then they answered and said before the king, That Daniel, who is of the children of the captivity of Judah, regardeth not thee, O king, nor the decree that thou hast signed, but maketh his petition three times a day. Dan. 6:13
Then the king, when he heard these words, was sore distressed thereby, and set his heart on Daniel to save him; and he laboured till the going down of the sun to deliver him. Dan. 6:14
Then these men came in a body unto the king, and said unto the king, Know, O king, that the law of the Medes and Persians is, That no decree nor statute which the king establisheth may be changed. Dan. 6:15
Then the king commanded, and they brought Daniel, and cast him into the den of lions. The king spoke and said unto Daniel, Thy God whom thou servest continually, he will save thee. Dan. 6:16
And a stone was brought, and laid upon the mouth of the den; and the king sealed it with his own signet, and with the signet of his nobles, that the purpose might not be changed concerning Daniel. Dan. 6:17
Then the king went to his palace, and passed the night fasting; neither were concubines brought before him; and his sleep fled from him. Dan. 6:18
Then the king arose with the light at break of day, and went in haste unto the den of lions. Dan. 6:19
And when he came near unto the den, he cried with a mournful voice unto Daniel: the king spoke and said unto Daniel, O Daniel, servant of the living God, hath thy God whom thou servest continually been able to save thee from the lions? Dan. 6:20
Then Daniel spoke unto the king, O king, live for ever! Dan. 6:21
My God hath sent his angel, and hath shut the lions' mouths, that they have not hurt me; forasmuch as before him innocence was found in me; and also before thee, O king, have I done no hurt. Dan. 6:22
Thereupon was the king exceeding glad, and commanded that they should take Daniel up out of the den. So Daniel was taken up out of the den, and no manner of hurt was found upon him, because he believed in his God. Dan. 6:23
And the king commanded, and they brought those men who had accused Daniel, and cast them into the den of lions, them, their children, and their wives; and the lions had the mastery of them, and broke all their bones in pieces ere they came to the bottom of the den. Dan. 6:24
Then king Darius wrote unto all peoples, nations, and languages, that dwell in all the earth: Peace be multiplied unto you. Dan. 6:25
I make a decree, That in every dominion of my kingdom men tremble and fear before the God of Daniel; for he is the living God, and steadfast for ever, and his kingdom that which shall not be destroyed, and his dominion shall be even unto the end. Dan. 6:26
He saveth and delivereth, and he worketh signs and wonders in the heavens and on the earth: who hath saved Daniel from the power of the lions. Dan. 6:27
And this Daniel prospered in the reign of Darius, and in the reign of Cyrus the Persian. Dan. 6:28
In the first year of Belshazzar king of Babylon, Daniel saw a dream and visions of his head upon his bed: then he wrote the dream; he told the sum of the matters. Dan. 7:1
Daniel spoke and said, I saw in my vision by night, and behold, the four winds of the heavens broke forth upon the great sea. Dan. 7:2
And four great beasts came up from the sea, different one from another. Dan. 7:3
The first was like a lion, and had eagle's wings: I beheld till its wings were plucked; and it was lifted up from the earth, and made to stand upon two feet as a man, and a man's heart was given to it. Dan. 7:4
After this I saw, and behold, another, like a leopard, and it had four wings of a bird upon its back; and the beast had four heads; and dominion was given to it. Dan. 7:6
After this I saw in the night visions, and behold, a fourth beast, dreadful and terrible, and exceeding strong; and it had great iron teeth: it devoured and broke in pieces, and stamped the rest with its feet; and it was different from all the beasts that were before it; and it had ten horns. Dan. 7:7
I considered the horns, and behold, there came up among them another, a little horn, before which three of the first horns were plucked up by the roots; and behold, in this horn were eyes like the eyes of a man, and a mouth speaking great things. Dan. 7:8
I beheld till thrones were set, and the Ancient of days did sit: his raiment was white as snow, and the hair of his head like pure wool; his throne was flames of fire, and its wheels burning fire. Dan. 7:9
A stream of fire issued and came forth from before him; thousand thousands ministered unto him, and ten thousand times ten thousand stood before him: the judgment was set, and the books were opened. Dan. 7:10
I beheld therefore, because of the voice of the great words that the horn spoke; I beheld till the beast was slain, and its body destroyed, and it was given up to be burned with fire. Dan. 7:11
As for the rest of the beasts, their dominion was taken away; but their lives were prolonged for a season and a time. Dan. 7:12
I saw in the night visions, and behold, there came with the clouds of heaven one like a son of man, and he came up even to the Ancient of days, and they brought him near before him. Dan. 7:13
As for me Daniel, my spirit was grieved in the midst of my body, and the visions of my head troubled me. Dan. 7:15
I came near unto one of them that stood by, and asked him the certainty of all this. And he told me, and made me know the interpretation of the things: Dan. 7:16
These great beasts, which are four, are four kings, that shall arise out of the earth. Dan. 7:17
But the saints of the most high places shall receive the kingdom, and they shall possess the kingdom for ever, even to the ages of ages. Dan. 7:18
Then I desired to know the certainty concerning the fourth beast, which was different from them all, exceeding dreadful, whose teeth were of iron, and its nails of brass; which devoured, broke in pieces, and stamped the rest with its feet; Dan. 7:19
and concerning the ten horns that were in its head, and the other that came up, and before which three fell: even that horn that had eyes, and a mouth speaking great things, and whose look was more imposing than its fellows. Dan. 7:20
I beheld, and that horn made war with the saints, and prevailed over them; Dan. 7:21
until the Ancient of days came, and judgment was given to the saints of the most high places; and the appointed time arrived, and the saints possessed the kingdom. Dan. 7:22
He said thus: The fourth beast shall be a fourth kingdom upon the earth, which shall be different from all the kingdoms, and shall devour the whole earth, and shall tread it down, and break it in pieces. Dan. 7:23
And as to the ten horns, out of this kingdom shall arise ten kings; and another shall arise after them; and he shall be different from the former, and he shall subdue three kings. Dan. 7:24
And he shall speak words against the Most High, and shall wear out the saints of the most high places, and think to change seasons and the law; and they shall be given into his hand until a time and times and a half time. Dan. 7:25
And the judgment shall sit, and they shall take away his dominion, to consume and to destroy it unto the end. Dan. 7:26
But the kingdom and the dominion, and the greatness of the kingdoms under the whole heavens, shall be given to the people of the saints of the most high places. His kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and all dominions shall serve and obey him. Dan. 7:27
So far is the end of the matter. As for me Daniel, my thoughts much troubled me, and my countenance was changed in me; but I kept the matter in my heart. Dan. 7:28
In the third year of the reign of Belshazzar the king, a vision appeared unto me, even to me Daniel, after that which appeared unto me at the first. Dan. 8:1
And I saw in the vision; and it came to pass, when I saw, that I was in the fortress of Shushan, which is in the province of Elam. And I saw in the vision, and I was by the river Ulai. Dan. 8:2
And I lifted up mine eyes and saw, and behold, there stood before the river a ram which had two horns; and the two horns were high; and one was higher than the other, and the higher came up last. Dan. 8:3
I saw the ram pushing westward, and northward, and southward, and no beast could stand before him, neither was there any that could deliver out of his hand; and he did according to his will, and became great. Dan. 8:4
And as I was considering, behold, a he-goat came from the west over the face of the whole earth, and touched not the ground: and the goat had a notable horn between his eyes. Dan. 8:5
And he came to the ram that had the two horns, which I had seen standing before the river, and ran upon him in the fury of his power. Dan. 8:6
And I saw him come close to the ram, and he was enraged with him, and smote the ram, and broke his two horns; and there was no power in the ram to stand before him; and he cast him down to the ground, and trampled upon him; and there was none that could deliver the ram out of his hand. Dan. 8:7
And the he-goat became exceeding great; but when he was become strong, the great horn was broken; and in its stead came up four notable ones toward the four winds of the heavens. Dan. 8:8
And out of one of them came forth a little horn, which became exceeding great, toward the south, and toward the east, and toward the beauty of the earth. Dan. 8:9
And it became great, even to the host of heaven; and it cast down some of the host and of the stars to the ground, and trampled upon them. Dan. 8:10
(And he magnified himself even to the prince of the host, and from him the continual sacrifice was taken away, and the place of his sanctuary was cast down. Dan. 8:11
And a time of trial was appointed unto the continual sacrifice by reason of transgression.) And it cast down the truth to the ground; and it practised and prospered. Dan. 8:12
And I heard one saint speaking, and another saint said unto that one who spoke, How long shall be the vision of the continual sacrifice and of the transgression that maketh desolate, to give both the sanctuary and the host to be trodden down under foot? Dan. 8:13
And he said unto me, Until two thousand and three hundred evenings and mornings: then shall the sanctuary be vindicated. Dan. 8:14
And it came to pass, when I Daniel had seen the vision, I sought for the understanding of it, and behold, there stood before me as the appearance of a man. Dan. 8:15
And I heard a man's voice between the banks of the Ulai; and he called and said, Gabriel, make this man to understand the vision. Dan. 8:16
And he came near where I stood; and when he came, I was afraid, and fell on my face; and he said unto me, Understand, son of man; for the vision is for the time of the end. Dan. 8:17
Now, as he was speaking with me, I was in a deep stupor, with my face toward the ground. And he touched me, and set me up where I had stood. Dan. 8:18
And he said, Behold, I will make thee know what shall be at the end of the indignation: for at the set time the end shall be. Dan. 8:19
The ram that thou sawest having the two horns: they are the kings of Media and Persia. Dan. 8:20
And the rough goat is the king of Greece; and the great horn that was between his eyes is the first king. Dan. 8:21
Now that being broken, whereas four stood up in its stead, four kingdoms shall stand up out of the nation, but not with his power. Dan. 8:22
And at the latter time of their kingdom, when the transgressors shall have come to the full, a king of bold countenance, and understanding riddles, shall stand up. Dan. 8:23
And his power shall be mighty, but not by his own power; and he shall destroy marvellously, and shall prosper, and shall practise, and shall destroy the mighty ones, and the people of the saints. Dan. 8:24
And through his cunning shall he cause craft to prosper in his hand; and he will magnify himself in his heart, and by prosperity will corrupt many; and he will stand up against the Prince of princes: but he shall be broken without hand. Dan. 8:25
And the vision of the evening and the morning which hath been told is true; but close thou up the vision, for it is for many days to come. Dan. 8:26
And I Daniel fainted, and was sick certain days: then I rose up, and did the king's business. And I was astonished at the vision, but none understood it. Dan. 8:27
In the first year of Darius the son of Ahasuerus, of the seed of the Medes, who was made king over the realm of the Chaldeans, Dan. 9:1
in the first year of his reign, I Daniel understood by the books that the number of the years, whereof the word of Jehovah came to Jeremiah the prophet, for the accomplishment of the desolations of Jerusalem, was seventy years. Dan. 9:2
And I set my face unto the Lord God, to seek by prayer and supplications, with fasting, and sackcloth, and ashes; Dan. 9:3
and I prayed unto Jehovah my God, and made my confession, and said, Alas Lord! the great and terrible *God, keeping covenant and loving-kindness with them that love him, and that keep his commandments: Dan. 9:4
And we have not hearkened unto thy servants the prophets, who spoke in thy name to our kings, our princes, and our fathers, and to all the people of the land. Dan. 9:6
Thine, O Lord, is the righteousness, but unto us confusion of face, as at this day, to the men of Judah, and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and unto all Israel, that are near, and that are far off, in all the countries whither thou hast driven them, because of their unfaithfulness in which they have been unfaithful against thee. Dan. 9:7
With the Lord our God are mercies and pardons, for we have rebelled against him; Dan. 9:9
and we have not hearkened unto the voice of Jehovah our God, to walk in his laws, which he set before us through his servants the prophets. Dan. 9:10
And all Israel have transgressed thy law, even turning aside so as not to listen unto thy voice. And the curse hath been poured out upon us, and the oath that is written in the law of Moses the servant of God: for we have sinned against him. Dan. 9:11
And he hath performed his words, which he spoke against us, and against our judges that judged us, by bringing upon us a great evil; so that there hath not been done under the whole heaven as hath been done upon Jerusalem. Dan. 9:12
As it is written in the law of Moses, all this evil is come upon us; yet we besought not Jehovah our God, that we might turn from our iniquities, and understand thy truth. Dan. 9:13
And Jehovah hath watched over the evil, and brought it upon us; for Jehovah our God is righteous in all his works which he hath done; and we have not hearkened unto his voice. Dan. 9:14
-- And now, O Lord our God, who broughtest thy people forth out of the land of Egypt with a strong hand, and hast made thee a name, as it is this day, -- we have sinned, we have done wickedly. Dan. 9:15
Lord, according to all thy righteousnesses, I beseech thee, let thine anger and thy fury be turned away from thy city Jerusalem, thy holy mountain; for because of our sins, and because of the iniquities of our fathers, Jerusalem and thy people are become a reproach to all round about us. Dan. 9:16
And now, our God, hearken to the prayer of thy servant, and to his supplications, and cause thy face to shine upon thy sanctuary that is desolate, for the Lord's sake. Dan. 9:17
Incline thine ear, O my God, and hear; open thine eyes and behold our desolations, and the city that is called by thy name: for we do not present our supplications before thee because of our righteousnesses, but because of thy manifold mercies. Dan. 9:18
And whilst I was speaking, and praying, and confessing my sin and the sin of my people Israel, and presenting my supplication before Jehovah my God for the holy mountain of my God; Dan. 9:20
whilst I was yet speaking in prayer, the man Gabriel, whom I had seen in the vision at the beginning, flying swiftly, touched me about the time of the evening oblation. Dan. 9:21
At the beginning of thy supplications the word went forth, and I am come to declare it; for thou art one greatly beloved. Therefore consider the word, and have understanding in the vision: Dan. 9:23
Seventy weeks are apportioned out upon thy people and upon thy holy city, to close the transgression, and to make an end of sins, and to make expiation for iniquity, and to bring in the righteousness of the ages, and to seal the vision and prophet, and to anoint the holy of holies. Dan. 9:24
Know therefore and understand: From the going forth of the word to restore and to build Jerusalem unto Messiah, the Prince, are seven weeks, and sixty-two weeks. The street and the moat shall be built again, even in troublous times. Dan. 9:25
And after the sixty-two weeks shall Messiah be cut off, and shall have nothing; and the people of the prince that shall come shall destroy the city and the sanctuary; and the end thereof shall be with an overflow, and unto the end, war, -- the desolations determined. Dan. 9:26
And he shall confirm a covenant with the many for one week; and in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease, and because of the protection of abominations there shall be a desolator, even until that the consumption and what is determined shall be poured out upon the desolate. Dan. 9:27
In the third year of Cyrus king of Persia a thing was revealed unto Daniel, whose name was called Belteshazzar; and the thing is true, but the appointed time of trial is long; and he understood the thing, and had understanding of the vision. Dan. 10:1
And on the four-and-twentieth day of the first month, I was by the side of the great river, which is Hiddekel: Dan. 10:4
and his body was like a chrysolite, and his face as the appearance of lightning, and his eyes as torches of fire, and his arms and his feet as the look of burnished brass, and the voice of his words like the voice of a multitude. Dan. 10:6
And I Daniel alone saw the vision; and the men that were with me saw not the vision, but a great quaking fell on them, and they fled to hide themselves. Dan. 10:7
And I heard the voice of his words; and when I heard the voice of his words, I fell into a deep stupor on my face, and my face to the ground. Dan. 10:9
And behold, a hand touched me, which set me upon my knees and the palms of my hands. Dan. 10:10
And he said unto me, O Daniel, man greatly beloved, understand the words which I speak unto thee, and stand upright; for unto thee am I now sent. And as he spoke this word unto me, I stood trembling. Dan. 10:11
And he said unto me, Fear not, Daniel; for from the first day that thou didst set thy heart to understand, and to humble thyself before thy God, thy words were heard, and I am come because of thy words. Dan. 10:12
But the prince of the kingdom of Persia withstood me one and twenty days; and behold, Michael, one of the chief princes, came to help me; and I remained there with the kings of Persia. Dan. 10:13
And I am come to make thee understand what shall befall thy people at the end of the days: for the vision is yet for many days. Dan. 10:14
And as he was speaking with me according to these words, I set my face toward the ground, and I became dumb. Dan. 10:15
And behold, one after the likeness of the sons of men touched my lips; and I opened my mouth and spoke, and said unto him that stood before me, My lord, by reason of the vision my pains are turned upon me, and I retain no strength. Dan. 10:16
And how can the servant of this my lord talk with this my lord? for as for me, straightway there remaineth no strength in me, neither is there breath left in me. Dan. 10:17
Then there touched me again one like the appearance of a man, and he strengthened me; Dan. 10:18
And he said, Knowest thou wherefore I am come unto thee? And now I return to fight with the prince of Persia; and when I go forth, behold, the prince of Greece shall come. Dan. 10:20
However, I will declare unto thee that which is set down in the scripture of truth; and there is not one that sheweth himself strong with me against these, but Michael your prince. Dan. 10:21
And I, in the first year of Darius the Mede, I stood to confirm and to strengthen him. Dan. 11:1
And now will I declare unto thee the truth. Behold, there shall stand up yet three kings in Persia; and the fourth shall enrich himself with great riches more than all; and when he hath become strong through his riches, he shall stir up all against the realm of Greece. Dan. 11:2
And when he shall stand up, his kingdom shall be broken, and shall be divided toward the four winds of the heavens; but not to his posterity, nor according to his dominion wherewith he ruled; for his kingdom shall be plucked up, even for others beside these. Dan. 11:4
And the king of the south, who is one of his princes, shall be strong; but another shall be stronger than he, and have dominion: his dominion shall be a great dominion. Dan. 11:5
And after the course of years they shall join affinity; and the king's daughter of the south shall come to the king of the north to make equitable conditions: but she shall not retain the strength of her arm; neither shall he stand, nor his arm; and she shall be given up, she and they that brought her, and he that begat her, and he that strengthened her in those times. Dan. 11:6
But out of a shoot from her roots shall one stand up in his place, who shall come to the army, and shall enter into the fortress of the king of the north, and shall deal against them, and shew himself mighty. Dan. 11:7
He shall also carry captive into Egypt their gods, with their princes, and their precious vessels of silver and of gold; and he shall subsist for more years than the king of the north; Dan. 11:8
and the same shall come into the realm of the king of the south, but shall return into his own land. Dan. 11:9
And his sons shall be stirred up, and shall assemble a multitude of great forces; and one shall certainly come, and overflow, and pass through; and he shall return and carry the war even to his fortress. Dan. 11:10
And the king of the south shall be enraged, and shall come forth and fight with him, with the king of the north, who shall set forth a great multitude, but the multitude shall be given into his hand. Dan. 11:11
And when the multitude shall have been taken away, his heart shall be exalted; and he shall cast down myriads; but he shall not prevail. Dan. 11:12
For the king of the north shall return, and shall set forth a multitude greater than the former; and shall certainly come at the end of the times of years with a great army and with much substance. Dan. 11:13
And in those times shall many stand up against the king of the south; and the violent of thy people will exalt themselves to establish the vision; but they shall fall. Dan. 11:14
And the king of the north shall come, and cast up a mound, and take the well-fenced city; and the arms of the south shall not withstand, neither his chosen people, for there shall be no strength to withstand. Dan. 11:15
And he that cometh against him shall do according to his own will, and none shall stand before him; and he shall stand in the land of beauty, and destruction shall be in his hand. Dan. 11:16
And he shall set his face to come with the strength of his whole kingdom, and upright ones with him; and he shall practise; and he shall give him the daughter of women, to corrupt her; but she shall not stand, neither shall she be for him. Dan. 11:17
And he shall turn his face unto the isles, and shall take many; but a captain for his own behalf shall cause the reproach offered by him to cease: he shall turn it upon him, without reproach for himself. Dan. 11:18
And he shall turn his face toward the fortresses of his own land; and he shall stumble and fall, and not be found. Dan. 11:19
And in his place shall one stand up who shall cause the exactor to pass through the glory of the kingdom; but in a few days he shall be broken, neither in anger nor in battle. Dan. 11:20
And in his place shall stand up a vile person, to whom they shall not give the honour of the kingdom; but he shall come in peaceably and obtain the kingdom by flatteries. Dan. 11:21
And the overflowing forces shall be overflowed from before him, and shall be broken: yea, also the prince of the covenant. Dan. 11:22
And after the league made with him he shall work deceitfully, and he shall come up, and shall become strong with a small people. Dan. 11:23
In time of peace shall he enter even into the fattest places of the province; and he shall do that which his fathers have not done, nor his fathers' fathers: he shall scatter among them prey, and spoil, and substance, and he shall plan his devices against the fortified places, even for a time. Dan. 11:24
And he shall stir up his power and his courage against the king of the south with a great army; and the king of the south shall engage in battle with an exceeding great and mighty army; but he shall not stand, for they shall plan devices against him. Dan. 11:25
And both these kings' hearts shall meditate mischief, and they shall speak lies at one table; but it shall not prosper; for yet the end shall be at the time appointed. Dan. 11:27
And he shall return into his land with great substance; and his heart shall be against the holy covenant; and he shall practise, and return to his own land. Dan. 11:28
At the set time he shall return, and come towards the south; but not as the former time shall be the latter; Dan. 11:29
for ships of Chittim shall come against him; and he shall be grieved, and return, and have indignation against the holy covenant; and will practise; and he shall return and direct his attention to those that forsake the holy covenant. Dan. 11:30
And forces shall stand on his part, and they shall profane the sanctuary, the fortress, and shall take away the continual sacrifice, and they shall place the abomination that maketh desolate. Dan. 11:31
And such as do wickedly against the covenant shall he pervert by flatteries; but the people that know their God shall be strong, and shall act. Dan. 11:32
And they that are wise among the people shall instruct the many; and they shall fall by the sword, and by flame, by captivity, and by spoil, many days. Dan. 11:33
And some of the wise shall fall, to try them, and to purge and to make them white, to the time of the end: for it shall yet be for the time appointed. Dan. 11:35
And the king shall do according to his will; and he shall exalt himself, and magnify himself above every *god, and speak monstrous things against the *God of *gods; and he shall prosper until the indignation be accomplished: for that which is determined shall be done. Dan. 11:36
And he will not regard the God of his fathers, nor the desire of women; nor regard any +god: for he will magnify himself above all. Dan. 11:37
And in his place will he honour the +god of fortresses; and a +god whom his fathers knew not will he honour with gold and silver, and with precious stones and pleasant things. Dan. 11:38
And he will practise in the strongholds of fortresses with a strange +god: whoso acknowledgeth him will he increase with glory; and he shall cause them to rule over the many, and shall divide the land to them for a reward. Dan. 11:39
And at the time of the end shall the king of the south push at him; and the king of the north shall come against him like a whirlwind, with chariots, and with horsemen, and with many ships; and he shall enter into the countries, and overflow and pass through. Dan. 11:40
And he shall enter into the land of beauty, and many countries shall be overthrown; but these shall escape out of his hand: Edom, and Moab, and the chief of the children of Ammon. Dan. 11:41
And he shall stretch forth his hand upon the countries; and the land of Egypt shall not escape. Dan. 11:42
And he shall have power over the treasures of gold and of silver, and over all the precious things of Egypt; and the Libyans and the Ethiopians shall be at his steps. Dan. 11:43
But tidings out of the east and out of the north shall trouble him; and he shall go forth with great fury to exterminate, and utterly to destroy many. Dan. 11:44
And he shall plant the tents of his palace between the sea and the mountain of holy beauty; and he shall come to his end, and there shall be none to help him. Dan. 11:45
And at that time shall Michael stand up, the great prince who standeth for the children of thy people; and there shall be a time of distress, such as never was since there was a nation until that time. And at that time thy people shall be delivered, every one that is found written in the book. Dan. 12:1
And many of them that sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, some to everlasting life, and some to shame, to everlasting contempt. Dan. 12:2
And they that are wise shall shine as the brightness of the expanse; and they that turn the many to righteousness as the stars, for ever and ever. Dan. 12:3
And thou, Daniel, close the words, and seal the book, till the time of the end. Many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall be increased. Dan. 12:4
And I Daniel looked, and behold, there stood other two, the one on this side, on the bank of the river, and the other on that side, on the bank of the river. Dan. 12:5
And he said to the man clothed in linen, who was above the waters of the river, How long is it to the end of these wonders? Dan. 12:6
And I heard the man clothed in linen, who was above the waters of the river; and he held up his right hand and his left hand unto the heavens, and swore by him that liveth for ever that it is for a time, times, and a half; and when the scattering of the power of the holy people shall be accomplished, all these things shall be finished. Dan. 12:7
And I heard, but I understood not. And I said, My lord, what shall be the end of these things? Dan. 12:8
And he said, Go thy way, Daniel; for these words are closed and sealed till the time of the end. Dan. 12:9
Many shall be purified, and be made white, and be refined; but the wicked shall do wickedly: and none of the wicked shall understand; but the wise shall understand. Dan. 12:10
And from the time that the continual sacrifice is taken away, and the abomination that maketh desolate set up, there shall be a thousand, two hundred, and ninety days. Dan. 12:11
Blessed is he that waiteth, and cometh to the thousand three hundred and thirty-five days! Dan. 12:12
But do thou go thy way until the end; and thou shalt rest, and stand in thy lot at the end of the days. Dan. 12:13
* The word of Jehovah that came unto Hosea, the son of Beeri, in the days of Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz, Hezekiah, kings of Judah, and in the days of Jeroboam the son of Joash, king of Israel. Hos. 1:1
The beginning of the word of Jehovah through Hosea. And Jehovah said to Hosea, Go, take unto thee a wife of whoredoms, and children of whoredoms; for the land is entirely given up to whoredom, away from Jehovah. Hos. 1:2
And he went and took Gomer the daughter of Diblaim; and she conceived and bore him a son. Hos. 1:3
And Jehovah said unto him, Call his name Jizreel; for yet a little, and I will visit the blood of Jizreel upon the house of Jehu, and will cause the kingdom of the house of Israel to cease. Hos. 1:4
And it shall come to pass in that day, that I will break the bow of Israel in the valley of Jizreel. Hos. 1:5
And she conceived again, and bore a daughter. And he said unto him, Call her name Lo-ruhamah; for I will no more have mercy upon the house of Israel, so that I should pardon them. Hos. 1:6
But I will have mercy upon the house of Judah, and will save them by Jehovah their God; and I will not save them by bow, or by sword, or by battle, or by horses, or by horsemen. Hos. 1:7
Yet the number of the children of Israel shall be as the sand of the sea which cannot be measured or numbered; and it shall come to pass, that in the place where it was said unto them, Ye are not my people, it shall be said unto them, Sons of the living *God. Hos. 1:10
And the children of Judah and the children of Israel shall be gathered together, and they shall appoint themselves one head, and shall go up out of the land: for great is the day of Jizreel. Hos. 1:11
lest I strip her naked, and set her as in the day that she was born, and make her as a wilderness, and set her as a dry land, and slay her with thirst. Hos. 2:3
And I will not have mercy upon her children; for they are the children of whoredoms. Hos. 2:4
For their mother hath played the harlot; she that conceived them hath done shamefully: for she said, I will go after my lovers, that give me my bread and my water, my wool and my flax, mine oil and my drink. Hos. 2:5
And she did not know that I had given her the corn and the new wine and the oil, and had multiplied to her the silver and gold, which they employed for Baal. Hos. 2:8
Therefore will I return, and take away my corn in the time thereof, and my new wine in its season, and will withdraw my wool and my flax which should have covered her nakedness. Hos. 2:9
And now will I discover her impiety in the sight of her lovers, and none shall deliver her out of my hand. Hos. 2:10
And I will make desolate her vine and her fig-tree, whereof she hath said, These are my rewards which my lovers have given me; and I will make them a forest, and the beasts of the field shall eat them. Hos. 2:12
And I will visit upon her the days of the Baals, wherein she burned incense to them, and decked herself with her rings and jewels, and went after her lovers, and forgot me, saith Jehovah. Hos. 2:13
Therefore behold, I will allure her, and bring her into the wilderness, and speak to her heart. Hos. 2:14
And I will give her her vineyards from thence, and the valley of Achor for a door of hope; and she shall sing there, as in the days of her youth and as in the day when she came up out of the land of Egypt. Hos. 2:15
for I will take away the names of the Baals out of her mouth, and they shall no more be remembered by their name. Hos. 2:17
And I will make a covenant for them in that day with the beasts of the field, and with the fowl of the heavens, and the creeping things of the ground; and I will break bow and sword and battle out of the land; and I will make them to lie down safely. Hos. 2:18
And it shall come to pass in that day, I will hear, saith Jehovah, I will hear the heavens, and they shall hear the earth; Hos. 2:21
and the earth shall hear the corn, and the new wine, and the oil; and they shall hear Jizreel. Hos. 2:22
And I will sow her unto me in the land; and I will have mercy upon Lo-ruhamah; and I will say to Lo-ammi, Thou art my people; and they shall say, My God. Hos. 2:23
And Jehovah said unto me, Go again, love a woman beloved of a friend, and an adulteress, according to the love of Jehovah for the children of Israel, though they turn to other gods, and love raisin-cakes. Hos. 3:1
And I said unto her, Thou shalt abide for me many days; thou shalt not play the harlot, and thou shalt not be another man's, and I will also be for thee. Hos. 3:3
For the children of Israel shall abide many days without king, and without prince, and without sacrifice, and without statue, and without ephod and teraphim. Hos. 3:4
Afterwards shall the children of Israel return, and seek Jehovah their God, and David their king; and shall turn with fear toward Jehovah and toward his goodness, at the end of the days. Hos. 3:5
Hear the word of Jehovah, ye children of Israel; for Jehovah hath a controversy with the inhabitants of the land; for there is no truth, nor goodness, nor knowledge of God in the land. Hos. 4:1
For this shall the land mourn, and every one that dwelleth therein shall languish, with the beasts of the field, and with the fowl of the heavens, yea, the fishes of the sea also shall be taken away. Hos. 4:3
Yet let no man strive, and let no man reprove; for thy people are as they that strive with the priest. Hos. 4:4
And thou shalt stumble by day; and the prophet also shall stumble with thee by night: and I will destroy thy mother. Hos. 4:5
My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge; for thou hast rejected knowledge, and I will reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me; seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I also will forget thy children. Hos. 4:6
They eat the sin of my people, and their soul longeth for their iniquity. Hos. 4:8
And it shall be as the people so the priest; and I will visit their ways upon them, and recompense to them their doings; Hos. 4:9
Fornication, and wine, and new wine take away the heart. Hos. 4:11
My people ask counsel of their stock, and their staff declareth unto them; for the spirit of whoredoms causeth them to err, and they have gone a whoring from under their God: Hos. 4:12
they sacrifice upon the tops of the mountains, and burn incense upon the hills, under oak and poplar and terebinth, because the shade thereof is good; therefore your daughters play the harlot and your daughters-in-law commit adultery. Hos. 4:13
I will not punish your daughters when they play the harlot, nor your daughters-in-law for their committing adultery; for they themselves go aside with harlots, and they sacrifice with prostitutes: and the people that doth not understand shall come to ruin. Hos. 4:14
Though thou, Israel, play the harlot, let not Judah trespass; and come ye not unto Gilgal, neither go up to Beth-aven, nor swear As Jehovah liveth! Hos. 4:15
The wind hath wrapped her up in its wings, and they shall be ashamed because of their sacrifices. Hos. 4:19
Hear this, ye priests; and hearken, ye house of Israel; and give ear, O house of the king: for this judgment is for you; for ye have been a snare at Mizpah, and a net spread upon Tabor. Hos. 5:1
And they have plunged themselves in the corruption of apostasy, but I will be a chastiser of them all. Hos. 5:2
Their doings do not allow them to return unto their God; for the spirit of whoredoms is in the midst of them, and they know not Jehovah. Hos. 5:4
They have dealt treacherously against Jehovah; for they have begotten strange children: now shall the new moon devour them, with their allotted possessions. Hos. 5:7
Blow the horn in Gibeah, the trumpet in Ramah; cry aloud at Beth-aven: behind thee, O Benjamin! Hos. 5:8
Ephraim shall be a desolation in the day of rebuke: among the tribes of Israel have I made known that which is sure. Hos. 5:9
The princes of Judah are become like them that remove the landmark: I will pour out my wrath upon them like water. Hos. 5:10
Ephraim is oppressed, crushed in judgment, because in selfwill he walked after the commandment of man. Hos. 5:11
And I will be unto Ephraim as a moth, and to the house of Judah as rottenness. Hos. 5:12
When Ephraim saw his sickness, and Judah his sore, then went Ephraim to the Assyrian, and sent to king Jareb; but he was unable to heal you, nor hath he removed your sore. Hos. 5:13
For I will be unto Ephraim as a lion, and as a young lion to the house of Judah. I, I will tear and go away; I will carry off, and there shall be none to deliver. Hos. 5:14
After two days will he revive us; on the third day he will raise us up, and we shall live before his face; Hos. 6:2
and we shall know, -- we shall follow on to know Jehovah: his going forth is assured as the morning dawn; and he will come unto us as the rain, as the latter rain which watereth the earth. Hos. 6:3
What shall I do unto thee, Ephraim? What shall I do unto thee, Judah? For your goodness is as a morning cloud, and as the dew that early passeth away. Hos. 6:4
Therefore have I hewed them by the prophets; I have slain them by the words of my mouth: and my judgment goeth forth as the light. Hos. 6:5
For I delight in loving-kindness, and not sacrifice; and the knowledge of God more than burnt-offerings. Hos. 6:6
But they like Adam have transgressed the covenant: there have they dealt treacherously against me. Hos. 6:7
And as troops of robbers lie in wait for a man, so the company of priests murder in the way of Shechem; yea, they commit lewdness. Hos. 6:9
In the house of Israel have I seen a horrible thing: the whoredom of Ephraim is there; Israel is defiled. Hos. 6:10
Also, for thee, Judah, is a harvest appointed, when I shall turn again the captivity of my people. Hos. 6:11
When I would heal Israel, then the iniquity of Ephraim is discovered, and the wickedness of Samaria: for they practise falsehood; and the thief entereth in, and the troop of robbers assaileth without. Hos. 7:1
They make the king glad with their wickedness, and the princes with their lies. Hos. 7:3
They all practise adultery, as an oven heated by the baker: he ceaseth from stirring the fire after he hath kneaded the dough, until it be leavened. Hos. 7:4
In the day of our king, the princes made themselves sick with the heat of wine: he stretched out his hand to scorners. Hos. 7:5
For they have applied their heart like an oven to their lying in wait: their baker sleepeth all the night; in the morning it burneth like a flaming fire. Hos. 7:6
Ephraim, he mixeth himself with the peoples; Ephraim is a cake not turned. Hos. 7:8
And the pride of Israel testifieth to his face; and they do not return to Jehovah their God, nor seek him for all this. Hos. 7:10
When they go, I will spread my net upon them; I will bring them down as the fowl of the heavens; I will chastise them, according as their assembly hath heard. Hos. 7:12
They return, but not to the Most High: they are like a deceitful bow. Their princes shall fall by the sword for the rage of their tongue: this shall be their derision in the land of Egypt. Hos. 7:16
Set the trumpet to thy mouth. He cometh as an eagle against the house of Jehovah, because they have transgressed my covenant, and rebelled against my law. Hos. 8:1
Israel hath cast off good: the enemy shall pursue him. Hos. 8:3
For from Israel is this also: -- a workman made it, and it is no God: for the calf of Samaria shall be broken in pieces. Hos. 8:6
For they have sown the wind, and they shall reap the whirlwind: it hath no stalk; should it sprout, it would yield no meal; if so be it yield, strangers shall swallow it up. Hos. 8:7
Israel is swallowed up: now are they become among the nations as a vessel wherein is no pleasure. Hos. 8:8
Although they hire among the nations, now will I gather them, and they shall begin to be straitened under the burden of the king of princes. Hos. 8:10
I have prescribed unto him the manifold things of my law: they are counted as a strange thing. Hos. 8:12
They sacrifice flesh for the sacrifices of mine offerings, and eat it; Jehovah hath no delight in them. Now will he remember their iniquity, and visit their sins: they shall return to Egypt. Hos. 8:13
For Israel hath forgotten his Maker, and buildeth temples; and Judah hath multiplied fenced cities: but I will send a fire upon his cities, and it shall devour the palaces thereof. Hos. 8:14
Rejoice not, Israel, exultingly, as the peoples; for thou hast gone a whoring from thy God, thou hast loved harlot's hire upon every corn-floor. Hos. 9:1
The floor and the winepress shall not feed them, and the new wine shall fail her. Hos. 9:2
They shall pour out no offerings of wine to Jehovah, neither shall their sacrifices be pleasing unto him: they shall be unto them as the bread of mourners; all that eat thereof shall be defiled: for their bread shall be for themselves; it shall not come into the house of Jehovah. Hos. 9:4
What will ye do in the day of assembly, and in the day of the feast of Jehovah? Hos. 9:5
The days of visitation are come; the days of recompence are come: Israel shall know it: the prophet is a fool, the inspired man is mad, because of the greatness of thine iniquity, and the great enmity. Hos. 9:7
Is Ephraim a watchman with my God? nay the prophet is a fowler's snare on all his ways, enmity in the house of his God. Hos. 9:8
They have deeply corrupted themselves as in the days of Gibeah. He will remember their iniquity, he will visit their sins. Hos. 9:9
I found Israel as grapes in the wilderness; as first-ripe fruit on the fig-tree, I saw your fathers at the beginning: they went to Baal-Peor, and separated themselves unto that shame, and became abominations like their lover. Hos. 9:10
Ephraim, as I saw him, was a Tyre planted in a beautiful place; but Ephraim shall bring forth his children to the slayer. Hos. 9:13
All their wickedness is in Gilgal; for there I hated them: because of the wickedness of their doings, I will drive them out of my house, I will love them no more: all their princes are rebellious. Hos. 9:15
Ephraim is smitten: their root is dried up, they shall bear no fruit; yea, though they should bring forth, yet will I slay the beloved fruit of their womb. Hos. 9:16
My God hath rejected them, because they hearkened not unto him; and they shall be wanderers among the nations. Hos. 9:17
Israel is an unpruned vine, he bringeth forth fruit unto himself: according to the abundance of his fruit he hath multiplied altars; according to the goodness of his land they have made goodly statues. Hos. 10:1
They speak mere words, swearing falsely in making a covenant; therefore shall judgment spring up as hemlock in the furrows of the fields. Hos. 10:4
The inhabitants of Samaria shall fear because of the calf of Beth-aven; for the people thereof shall mourn over it, and the idolatrous priests thereof shall tremble for it, for its glory, because it is departed from it. Hos. 10:5
As for Samaria her king is cut off as chips upon the face of the waters. Hos. 10:7
And the high places of Aven, the sin of Israel, shall be destroyed: the thorn and the thistle shall come up upon their altars; and they shall say to the mountains, Cover us! and to the hills, Fall on us! Hos. 10:8
From the days of Gibeah hast thou sinned, O Israel: there they stood: the battle in Gibeah against the children of iniquity did not overtake them. Hos. 10:9
At my pleasure will I chastise them; and the peoples shall be assembled against them, when they are bound for their two iniquities. Hos. 10:10
And Ephraim is a trained heifer, that loveth to tread out the corn; I have passed over upon her fair neck: I will make Ephraim to draw; Judah shall plough, Jacob shall break his clods. Hos. 10:11
Ye have ploughed wickedness, reaped iniquity, eaten the fruit of lies; for thou didst confide in thy way, in the multitude of thy mighty men. Hos. 10:13
And a tumult shall arise among thy peoples, and all thy fortresses shall be spoiled, as Shalman spoiled Beth-arbel in the day of battle: the mother was dashed in pieces with the children. Hos. 10:14
So shall Bethel do unto you because of the wickedness of your wickedness: at day-break shall the king of Israel utterly be cut off. Hos. 10:15
As they called them, so they went from them: they sacrificed unto the Baals, and burned incense to graven images. Hos. 11:2
I drew them with bands of a man, with cords of love; and I was to them as they that take off the yoke on their jaws, and I gently caused them to eat. Hos. 11:4
He shall not return into the land of Egypt, but the Assyrian shall be his king; for they refused to return to me; Hos. 11:5
and the sword shall turn about in his cities, and shall consume his bars, and devour them, because of their own counsels. Hos. 11:6
Yea, my people are bent upon backsliding from me: though they call them to the Most High, none at all exalteth him. Hos. 11:7
I will not execute the fierceness of mine anger, I will not again destroy Ephraim; for I am *God, and not man, -- the Holy One in the midst of thee: and I will not come in anger. Hos. 11:9
They shall walk after Jehovah; he shall roar like a lion; when he shall roar, then the children shall hasten from the west: Hos. 11:10
they shall hasten as a bird out of Egypt, and as a dove out of the land of Assyria; and I will cause them to dwell in their houses, saith Jehovah. Hos. 11:11
* Ephraim encompasseth me about with lies, and the house of Israel with deceit; but Judah yet walketh with *God, and with the holy things of truth. Hos. 11:12
Ephraim feedeth on wind, and pursueth after the east wind: all day long he multiplieth lies and desolation; and they make a covenant with Assyria, and oil is carried into Egypt. Hos. 12:1
He took his brother by the heel in the womb, and in his strength he wrestled with God. Hos. 12:3
Yea, he wrestled with the Angel, and prevailed; he wept, and made supplication unto him: he found him in Bethel, and there he spoke with us, Hos. 12:4
-- even Jehovah, the God of hosts, -- Jehovah is his memorial. Hos. 12:5
But I that am Jehovah thy God from the land of Egypt will again make thee to dwell in tents, as in the days of the solemn feast. Hos. 12:9
And I have spoken to the prophets, and I have multiplied visions, and by means of the prophets have I used similitudes. Hos. 12:10
If Gilead is iniquity, surely they are but vanity: they sacrifice bullocks in Gilgal; yea, their altars are as heaps in the furrows of the fields. Hos. 12:11
And Jacob fled into the country of Syria, and Israel served for a wife, and for a wife he kept sheep. Hos. 12:12
And now they sin more and more, and have made them molten images of their silver, idols according to their own understanding, all of it the work of the craftsmen: they say of them, Let the men that sacrifice kiss the calves. Hos. 13:2
Therefore they shall be as the morning cloud, and as the early dew that passeth away, as the chaff driven with the whirlwind out of the threshing-floor, and as the smoke out of the lattice. Hos. 13:3
Yet I am Jehovah thy God from the land of Egypt, and thou hast known no God but me; and there is no saviour besides me. Hos. 13:4
I knew thee in the wilderness, in the land of drought. Hos. 13:5
And I will be unto them as a lion; as a leopard I will lurk for them by the way; Hos. 13:7
I will meet them as a bear bereaved of her whelps, and will rend the covering of their heart, and there will I devour them like a lioness: the beast of the field shall tear them. Hos. 13:8
The iniquity of Ephraim is bound up; his sin is laid by in store. Hos. 13:12
The pangs of a woman in travail shall come upon him: he is a son not wise; for at the time of the breaking forth of children, he was not there. Hos. 13:13
I will ransom them from the power of Sheol. I will redeem them from death: where, O death, are thy plagues? where, O Sheol, is thy destruction? Repentance shall be hid from mine eyes. Hos. 13:14
Though he be fruitful among his brethren, an east wind shall come, a wind of Jehovah that cometh up from the wilderness, and his spring shall become dry, and his fountain shall be dried up: he shall spoil the treasure of all pleasant vessels. Hos. 13:15
* Samaria shall bear her guilt; for she hath rebelled against her God: they shall fall by the sword; their infants shall be dashed in pieces, and their women with child shall be ripped up. Hos. 13:16
Take with you words, and turn to Jehovah; say unto him, Forgive all iniquity, and receive us graciously; so will we render the calves of our lips. Hos. 14:2
Assyria shall not save us; we will not ride upon horses: neither will we say any more to the work of our hands, Thou art our God; because in thee the fatherless findeth mercy. Hos. 14:3
I will be as the dew unto Israel: he shall blossom as the lily, and cast forth his roots as Lebanon. Hos. 14:5
His shoots shall spread, and his beauty shall be as the olive-tree, and his smell as Lebanon. Hos. 14:6
They shall return and sit under his shadow; they shall revive as corn, and blossom as the vine: the renown thereof shall be as the wine of Lebanon. Hos. 14:7
Who is wise, and he shall understand these things? intelligent, and he shall know them? For the ways of Jehovah are right, and the just shall walk in them; but the transgressors shall fall therein. Hos. 14:9
* The word of Jehovah that came to Joel the son of Pethuel. Joel 1:1
Hear this, ye old men, and give ear, all ye inhabitants of the land. Hath this been in your days, or even in the days of your fathers? Joel 1:2
that which the palmer-worm hath left hath the locust eaten; and that which the locust hath left hath the cankerworm eaten; and that which the cankerworm hath left hath the caterpillar eaten. Joel 1:4
Awake, ye drunkards, and weep; and howl, all ye drinkers of wine, because of the new wine: for it is cut off from your mouth. Joel 1:5
For a nation is come up upon my land, strong and without number: his teeth are the teeth of a lion, and he hath the cheek teeth of a lioness. Joel 1:6
Wail like a virgin girded with sackcloth for the husband of her youth. Joel 1:8
The oblation and the drink-offering are cut off from the house of Jehovah; the priests, Jehovah's ministers, mourn. Joel 1:9
The field is laid waste, the land mourneth; for the corn is wasted, the new wine is dried up, the oil languisheth. Joel 1:10
Be ashamed, ye husbandmen; howl, ye vinedressers, for the wheat and for the barley: because the harvest of the field hath perished. Joel 1:11
The vine is dried up, and the fig-tree languisheth; the pomegranate-tree, the palm also and the apple-tree; all the trees of the field are withered, yea, joy is withered away from the children of men. Joel 1:12
Gird yourselves, and lament, ye priests; howl, ministers of the altar; come, lie all night in sackcloth, ye ministers of my God: for the oblation and the drink-offering are withholden from the house of your God. Joel 1:13
Hallow a fast, proclaim a solemn assembly, gather the elders, and all the inhabitants of the land to the house of Jehovah your God, and cry unto Jehovah. Joel 1:14
Alas for the day! for the day of Jehovah is at hand, and as destruction from the Almighty shall it come. Joel 1:15
Is not the food cut off before our eyes, joy and gladness from the house of our God? Joel 1:16
The seeds are rotten under their clods, the granaries are laid desolate, the barns are broken down; for the corn is withered. Joel 1:17
How do the beasts groan! The herds of cattle are bewildered, for they have no pasture; the flocks of sheep also are in suffering. Joel 1:18
To thee, Jehovah, do I cry; for the fire hath devoured the pastures of the wilderness, and the flame hath burned up all the trees of the field. Joel 1:19
The beasts of the field also cry unto thee; for the water-courses are dried, and the fire hath devoured the pastures of the wilderness. Joel 1:20
Blow the trumpet in Zion, and sound an alarm in my holy mountain; let all the inhabitants of the land tremble: for the day of Jehovah cometh, for it is at hand; Joel 2:1
a day of darkness and gloom, a day of clouds and gross darkness, as the dawn spread upon the mountains; -- a great people and a strong; there hath not been ever the like, neither shall be any more after them, to the years of generations and generations. Joel 2:2
A fire devoureth before them, and behind them a flame burneth; the land is as a garden of Eden before them, and behind them a desolate wilderness: yea, and nothing escapeth them. Joel 2:3
The appearance of them is as the appearance of horses; and as horsemen, so they run. Joel 2:4
Like the noise of chariots, on the tops of the mountains, they leap; like the noise of a flame of fire that devoureth the stubble, as a strong people set in battle array. Joel 2:5
Before them the peoples are in anguish: all faces turn pale. Joel 2:6
They run like mighty men; they climb the wall like men of war; and they march every one on his ways, and break not their ranks. Joel 2:7
They spread themselves over the city; they run upon the wall; they climb up into the houses; they enter in by the windows like a thief. Joel 2:9
The earth quaketh before them; the heavens tremble; the sun and the moon are darkened, and the stars withdraw their shining. Joel 2:10
And Jehovah uttereth his voice before his army; for his camp is very great; for strong is he that executeth his word: for the day of Jehovah is great and very terrible; and who can bear it? Joel 2:11
and rend your heart, and not your garments, and turn unto Jehovah your God: for he is gracious and merciful, slow to anger, and of great loving-kindness, and repenteth him of the evil. Joel 2:13
Blow the trumpet in Zion, hallow a fast, proclaim a solemn assembly; Joel 2:15
gather the people, hallow the congregation, assemble the elders, gather the children, and those that suck the breasts; let the bridegroom go forth from his chamber, and the bride from her closet. Joel 2:16
Let the priests, the ministers of Jehovah, weep between the porch and the altar, and let them say, Spare, O Jehovah, thy people, and give not thine inheritance to reproach, that they should be a byword of the nations. Wherefore should they say among the peoples, Where is their God? Joel 2:17
And Jehovah will answer and say unto his people, Behold, I send you corn, and new wine, and oil, and ye shall be satisfied therewith; and I will no more make you a reproach among the nations. Joel 2:19
And I will remove far off from you him that cometh from the north, and will drive him into a land barren and desolate, his face toward the eastern sea, and his rear toward the hinder sea; and his stench shall come up, and his ill odour shall come up, for he hath exalted himself to do great things. Joel 2:20
Be not afraid, ye beasts of the field: for the pastures of the wilderness do spring; for the tree beareth its fruit; the fig-tree and the vine yield full increase. Joel 2:22
And ye, children of Zion, be glad and rejoice in Jehovah your God; for he giveth you the early rain in due measure, and he causeth to come down for you the rain, the early rain, and the latter rain at the beginning of the season. Joel 2:23
And the floors shall be full of corn, and the vats shall overflow with new wine and oil. Joel 2:24
And I will restore to you the years that the locust hath eaten, the cankerworm, and the caterpillar, and the palmer-worm, my great army which I sent among you. Joel 2:25
And ye shall eat in plenty, and be satisfied, and praise the name of Jehovah your God, who hath dealt wondrously with you: and my people shall never be ashamed. Joel 2:26
And ye shall know that I am in the midst of Israel, and that I, Jehovah, am your God, and there is none else: and my people shall never be ashamed. Joel 2:27
Yea, even upon the bondmen and upon the handmaids in those days will I pour out my Spirit. Joel 2:29
And I will shew wonders in the heavens and on the earth, blood, and fire, and pillars of smoke. Joel 2:30
The sun shall be changed to darkness, and the moon to blood, before the great and terrible day of Jehovah come. Joel 2:31
And it shall be that whosoever shall call upon the name of Jehovah shall be saved: for in mount Zion and in Jerusalem shall be deliverance, as Jehovah hath said, and for the residue whom Jehovah shall call. Joel 2:32
For behold, in those days, and in that time, when I shall turn again the captivity of Judah and Jerusalem, Joel 3:1
I will also gather all the nations, and will bring them down into the valley of Jehoshaphat, and I will enter into judgment with them there on account of my people and mine inheritance, Israel, whom they have scattered among the nations: and they have parted my land; Joel 3:2
Yea also, what have ye to do with me, O Tyre and Zidon, and all the districts of Philistia? Will ye render me a recompence? But if ye recompense me, swiftly and speedily will I bring your recompence upon your own head; Joel 3:4
and the children of Judah and the children of Jerusalem have ye sold unto the children of the Greeks, that ye might remove them far from their border. Joel 3:6
Behold, I will raise them up out of the place whither ye have sold them, and will bring your recompence upon your own head. Joel 3:7
And I will sell your sons and your daughters into the hand of the children of Judah, and they shall sell them to the Sabeans, to a nation far off: for Jehovah hath spoken. Joel 3:8
Proclaim this among the nations: prepare war, arouse the mighty men, let all the men of war draw near, let them come up. Joel 3:9
Beat your ploughshares into swords, and your pruning-knives into spears; let the weak say, I am strong. Joel 3:10
Let the nations rouse themselves, and come up to the valley of Jehoshaphat; for there will I sit to judge all the nations round about. Joel 3:12
Put in the sickle, for the harvest is ripe: come, get you down, for the press is full, the vats overflow; for their wickedness is great. Joel 3:13
Multitudes, multitudes in the valley of decision! For the day of Jehovah is at hand in the valley of decision. Joel 3:14
The sun and the moon shall be darkened, and the stars shall withdraw their shining. Joel 3:15
And Jehovah will roar from Zion, and utter his voice from Jerusalem; and the heavens and the earth shall shake: and Jehovah will be a shelter for his people, and the refuge of the children of Israel. Joel 3:16
And it shall come to pass in that day, that the mountains shall drop down new wine, and the hills shall flow with milk, and all the water-courses of Judah shall flow with waters; and a fountain shall come forth from the house of Jehovah, and shall water the valley of Shittim. Joel 3:18
Egypt shall be a desolation, and Edom shall be a desolate wilderness, for the violence against the children of Judah, in that they have shed innocent blood in their land. Joel 3:19
And I will purge them from the blood from which I had not purged them: for Jehovah dwelleth in Zion. Joel 3:21
* The words of Amos, who was among the herdmen of Tekoa, which he saw concerning Israel in the days of Uzziah king of Judah, and in the days of Jeroboam the son of Joash, king of Israel, two years before the earthquake. Amos 1:1
And he said, Jehovah roareth from Zion, and uttereth his voice from Jerusalem; and the pastures of the shepherds mourn, and the top of Carmel withereth. Amos 1:2
And I will send a fire into the house of Hazael, and it shall devour the palaces of Ben-Hadad. Amos 1:4
And I will break the bar of Damascus, and cut off the inhabitant from the valley of Aven, and him that holdeth the sceptre from Beth-Eden; and the people of Syria shall go into captivity unto Kir, saith Jehovah. Amos 1:5
Thus saith Jehovah: For three transgressions of Gazah, and for four, I will not revoke its sentence; because they carried away captive the whole captivity, to deliver them up to Edom. Amos 1:6
And I will send a fire on the wall of Gazah, and it shall devour the palaces thereof. Amos 1:7
And I will cut off the inhabitant from Ashdod, and him that holdeth the sceptre from Ashkelon, and I will turn my hand against Ekron; and the remnant of the Philistines shall perish, saith the Lord Jehovah. Amos 1:8
Thus saith Jehovah: For three transgressions of Tyre, and for four, I will not revoke its sentence; because they delivered up the whole captivity to Edom, and remembered not the brotherly covenant. Amos 1:9
And I will send a fire on the wall of Tyre, and it shall devour the palaces thereof. Amos 1:10
Thus saith Jehovah: For three transgressions of Edom, and for four, I will not revoke its sentence; because he pursued his brother with the sword, and cast off all pity; and his anger did tear continually, and he kept his wrath for ever. Amos 1:11
And I will send a fire upon Teman, and it shall devour the palaces of Bozrah. Amos 1:12
Thus saith Jehovah: For three transgressions of the children of Ammon, and for four, I will not revoke its sentence; because they ripped up the women with child of Gilead, that they might enlarge their border. Amos 1:13
And I will kindle a fire in the wall of Rabbah, and it shall devour the palaces thereof, with shouting in the day of battle, with a tempest in the day of the whirlwind. Amos 1:14
Thus saith Jehovah: For three transgressions of Moab, and for four, I will not revoke its sentence; because he burned the bones of the king of Edom into lime. Amos 2:1
And I will send a fire upon Moab, and it shall devour the palaces of Kerijoth; and Moab shall die with tumult, with shouting, and with the sound of the trumpet. Amos 2:2
And I will cut off the judge from the midst thereof, and will slay all the princes thereof with him, saith Jehovah. Amos 2:3
Thus saith Jehovah: For three transgressions of Judah, and for four, I will not revoke its sentence; because they have despised the law of Jehovah, and have not kept his statutes; and their lies have caused them to err, after which their fathers walked. Amos 2:4
And I will send a fire upon Judah, and it shall devour the palaces of Jerusalem. Amos 2:5
Thus saith Jehovah: For three transgressions of Israel, and for four, I will not revoke its sentence; because they have sold the righteous for silver, and the needy for a pair of shoes; Amos 2:6
panting after the dust of the earth on the head of the poor, and turning aside the way of the meek; and a man and his father will go in unto the same maid, to profane my holy name. Amos 2:7
And they lay themselves down by every altar upon clothes taken in pledge, and they drink in the house of their God the wine of the condemned. Amos 2:8
But I destroyed the Amorite before them, whose height was as the height of the cedars, and he was strong as the oaks; but I destroyed his fruit from above, and his roots from beneath. Amos 2:9
And I brought you up from the land of Egypt, and led you forty years in the wilderness, to possess the land of the Amorite. Amos 2:10
And ye gave the Nazarites wine to drink; and commanded the prophets, saying, Prophesy not. Amos 2:12
And flight shall perish from the swift, and the strong shall not strengthen his force, neither shall the mighty deliver his soul. Amos 2:14
Neither shall he stand that handleth the bow; and the swift of foot shall not escape, and he that rideth the horse shall not deliver his soul; Amos 2:15
and he that is stout-hearted among the mighty shall flee away naked in that day, saith Jehovah. Amos 2:16
Hear this word that Jehovah hath spoken against you, children of Israel, against the whole family that I brought up from the land of Egypt, saying, Amos 3:1
You only have I known of all the families of the earth; therefore will I visit upon you all your iniquities. Amos 3:2
Will a lion roar in the forest when he hath no prey? Will a young lion cry out of his den if he have taken nothing? Amos 3:4
Can a bird fall in a snare upon the earth when no gin is laid for him? Will the snare spring up from the earth when nothing at all hath been taken? Amos 3:5
Shall a trumpet be blown in the city, and the people not be afraid? Shall there be evil in a city, and Jehovah not have done it? Amos 3:6
But the Lord Jehovah will do nothing, but he revealeth his secret unto his servants the prophets. Amos 3:7
The lion hath roared, -- who will not fear? The Lord Jehovah hath spoken, -- who can but prophesy? Amos 3:8
Publish in the palaces at Ashdod, and in the palaces in the land of Egypt, and say, Assemble yourselves upon the mountains of Samaria, and behold the great uproar in the midst thereof, and the oppressions that are within her: Amos 3:9
Therefore thus saith the Lord Jehovah: An adversary! -- even round about the land! And he shall bring down thy strength from thee, and thy palaces shall be pillaged. Amos 3:11
Thus saith Jehovah: Like as the shepherd rescueth out of the jaw of the lion two legs, or a piece of an ear; so shall the children of Israel be rescued that sit in Samaria in the corner of a couch, and upon the damask of a bed. Amos 3:12
Hear ye, and testify in the house of Jacob, saith the Lord Jehovah, the God of hosts, Amos 3:13
that in the day that I shall visit the transgressions of Israel upon him, I will also punish the altars of Bethel; and the horns of the altar shall be cut off, and fall to the ground. Amos 3:14
And I will smite the winter-house with the summer-house; and the houses of ivory shall perish, and many houses shall have an end, saith Jehovah. Amos 3:15
Hear this word, ye kine of Bashan, that are in the mountain of Samaria, that oppress the poor, that crush the needy, that say to their lords, Bring, and let us drink: Amos 4:1
the Lord Jehovah hath sworn by his holiness, that behold, days shall come upon you, when he will take you away with hooks, and your posterity with fish-hooks; Amos 4:2
and ye shall go out by the breaches, every one straight before her, and ye shall be cast out to Harmon, saith Jehovah. Amos 4:3
Come to Bethel, and transgress; at Gilgal multiply transgression; and bring your sacrifices in the morning, your tithes every three days, Amos 4:4
and burn a thank-offering with leaven, and proclaim, publish, voluntary offerings: for this pleaseth you, children of Israel, saith the Lord Jehovah. Amos 4:5
And I also have withholden the rain from you, when there were yet three months to the harvest; and I caused it to rain upon one city, and caused it not to rain upon another city: one piece of land was rained upon, and the piece whereupon it rained not withered. Amos 4:7
I have smitten you with blasting and mildew; the palmer-worm hath devoured the multitude of your gardens, and your vineyards, and your fig-trees and your olive-trees: yet have ye not returned unto me, saith Jehovah. Amos 4:9
I have sent among you the pestilence after the manner of Egypt: your young men have I slain with the sword, taking away captive your horses; and I made the stench of your camps to come up, even into your nostrils: yet have ye not returned unto me, saith Jehovah. Amos 4:10
I have overthrown among you, like God's overthrow of Sodom and Gomorrah, and ye were as a brand plucked out of the burning; yet have ye not returned unto me, saith Jehovah. Amos 4:11
For behold, he who formeth the mountains, and createth the wind, and declareth unto man what is his thought, who maketh the morning darkness, and treadeth upon the high places of the earth, -- Jehovah, the God of hosts, is his name. Amos 4:13
The virgin of Israel is fallen; she shall no more arise: she is cast down upon her land; there is none to raise her up. Amos 5:2
For thus saith the Lord Jehovah: The city that went forth a thousand shall have a hundred left, and that which went forth a hundred shall have ten left, for the house of Israel. Amos 5:3
For thus saith Jehovah unto the house of Israel: Seek ye me, and ye shall live. Amos 5:4
Seek Jehovah, and ye shall live; lest he break out like fire in the house of Joseph, and devour it, and there be none to quench it in Bethel. Amos 5:6
Ye who turn judgment to wormwood, and cast down righteousness to the earth, Amos 5:7
seek him that made the Pleiades and Orion, and turneth the shadow of death into the morning, and maketh the day dark with night; that calleth for the waters of the sea, and poureth them out upon the face of the earth: Jehovah is his name. Amos 5:8
He causeth destruction to break forth suddenly upon the strong, and bringeth destruction upon the fortress. Amos 5:9
They hate him that reproveth in the gate, and they abhor him that speaketh uprightly. Amos 5:10
Forasmuch, therefore, as ye trample upon the poor, and take from him presents of wheat: ye have built houses of hewn stone, but ye shall not dwell in them; ye have planted pleasant vineyards, and ye shall not drink the wine of them. Amos 5:11
For I know how manifold are your transgressions and your sins mighty: they afflict the just, they take a bribe, and they turn aside the right of the needy in the gate. Amos 5:12
Therefore the prudent shall keep silence in this time; for it is an evil time. Amos 5:13
Seek good, and not evil, that ye may live; and so Jehovah, the God of hosts, shall be with you, as ye say. Amos 5:14
Hate evil, and love good, and establish judgment in the gate: it may be that Jehovah, the God of hosts, will be gracious unto the remnant of Joseph. Amos 5:15
Therefore thus saith Jehovah, the God of hosts, the Lord: Wailing shall be in all broadways; and they shall say in all the streets, Alas! alas! And they shall call the husbandman to mourning, and such as are skilful of lamentation to wailing. Amos 5:16
And in all vineyards shall be wailing; for I will pass through the midst of thee, saith Jehovah. Amos 5:17
Woe unto you that desire the day of Jehovah! To what end is the day of Jehovah for you? It shall be darkness and not light: Amos 5:18
as if a man fled from a lion, and a bear met him; or went into the house and leaned his hand on the wall, and a serpent bit him. Amos 5:19
Shall not the day of Jehovah be darkness, and not light? even very dark, and no brightness in it? Amos 5:20
For if ye offer up unto me burnt-offerings and your oblations, I will not accept them; neither will I regard the peace-offerings of your fatted beasts. Amos 5:22
Take away from me the noise of thy songs, and I will not hear the melody of thy lutes; Amos 5:23
Did ye bring unto me sacrifices and oblations in the wilderness forty years, O house of Israel? Amos 5:25
Yea, ye took up the tabernacle of your Moloch, and Chiun your images, the star of your god, which ye had made to yourselves; Amos 5:26
and I will cause you to go into captivity beyond Damascus, saith Jehovah, whose name is the God of hosts. Amos 5:27
Woe to them that are at ease in Zion and that are secure in the mountain of Samaria, the renowned of the first of the nations, to whom the house of Israel come. Amos 6:1
Pass unto Calneh, and see; and from thence go to Hamath the great; and go down to Gath of the Philistines: are they better than these kingdoms? or their border greater than your border? Amos 6:2
Ye that put far away the evil day, and cause the seat of violence to come near; Amos 6:3
that lie upon beds of ivory, and stretch themselves upon their couches, and eat the lambs out of the flock, and the calves from the midst of the stall; Amos 6:4
that chant to the sound of the lute, and invent them instruments of music, like David; Amos 6:5
that drink wine in bowls, and anoint themselves with the chief ointments; but are not grieved for the breach of Joseph. Amos 6:6
Therefore shall they now go captive, with the first that go captive, and the revelry of them that stretched themselves shall pass away. Amos 6:7
The Lord Jehovah hath sworn by himself, saith Jehovah, the God of hosts, I abhor the pride of Jacob, and hate his palaces; and I will deliver up the city with all that is therein. Amos 6:8
And a man's uncle, and he that should burn him, shall take him up to bring out the bones from the house, and shall say unto him that is in the inner parts of the house, Is there yet any with thee? and he shall say, None. And he will say, Silence! for we may not make mention of Jehovah's name. Amos 6:10
For behold, Jehovah commandeth, and he will smite the great house with breaches, and the little house with clefts. Amos 6:11
Shall horses run upon the rock? will men plough thereon with oxen? For ye have turned judgment into gall, and the fruit of righteousness into wormwood, Amos 6:12
For behold, O house of Israel, saith Jehovah the God of hosts, I will raise up against you a nation; and they shall afflict you from the entering in of Hamath unto the torrent of the Arabah. Amos 6:14
Thus did the Lord Jehovah shew unto me; and behold, he formed locusts in the beginning of the shooting up of the latter growth, and behold, it was the latter growth after the king's mowings. Amos 7:1
And it came to pass, when they had wholly eaten the grass of the land, that I said, O Lord Jehovah, forgive, I beseech thee! How shall Jacob arise? for he is small. Amos 7:2
Thus did the Lord Jehovah shew unto me; and behold, the Lord Jehovah called to contend by fire; and it devoured the great deep, and ate up the inheritance. Amos 7:4
Jehovah repented for this: This also shall not be, said the Lord Jehovah. Amos 7:6
Thus did he shew unto me; and behold, the Lord stood upon a wall made by a plumb-line, with a plumb-line in his hand. Amos 7:7
And Jehovah said unto me, Amos, what seest thou? And I said, A plumb-line. And the Lord said, Behold, I will set a plumb-line in the midst of my people Israel: I will not again pass by them any more. Amos 7:8
And the high places of Isaac shall be desolated, and the sanctuaries of Israel shall be laid waste; and I will arise against the house of Jeroboam with the sword. Amos 7:9
Then Amaziah the priest of Bethel sent to Jeroboam king of Israel, saying, Amos hath conspired against thee in the midst of the house of Israel: the land is not able to bear all his words. Amos 7:10
For thus Amos saith: Jeroboam shall die by the sword, and Israel shall certainly go into captivity out of his land. Amos 7:11
And Amaziah said unto Amos, Thou seer, go, flee away into the land of Judah, and eat bread there, and prophesy there. Amos 7:12
But prophesy not again any more at Bethel; for it is the king's sanctuary, and it is the house of the kingdom. Amos 7:13
And Jehovah took me as I followed the flock, and Jehovah said unto me, Go, prophesy unto my people Israel. Amos 7:15
And now hear thou the word of Jehovah: Thou sayest, Prophesy not against Israel, and utter not words against the house of Isaac. Amos 7:16
Therefore thus saith Jehovah: Thy wife shall be a harlot in the city, and thy sons and thy daughters shall fall by the sword, and thy land shall be divided with the line; and thou shalt die in a land that is unclean; and Israel shall certainly go into captivity, out of his land. Amos 7:17
And he said, Amos, what seest thou? And I said, A basket of summer-fruit. And Jehovah said unto me, The end is come upon my people Israel: I will not again pass by them any more. Amos 8:2
And the songs of the palace shall be howlings in that day, saith the Lord Jehovah. The dead bodies shall be many; in every place they shall be cast forth. Silence! Amos 8:3
Hear this, ye that pant after the needy, even to cause to fail the poor of the land, Amos 8:4
saying, When will the new moon be gone, that we may sell corn? and the sabbath, that we may set forth wheat? making the ephah small and the shekel great, and falsifying the balances for deceit: Amos 8:5
that we may buy the poor for silver, and the needy for a pair of shoes; and that we may sell the refuse of the wheat. Amos 8:6
Jehovah hath sworn by the glory of Jacob, Certainly I will never forget any of their works. Amos 8:7
Shall not the land tremble for this, and every one mourn that dwelleth therein? And it shall wholly rise up like the Nile; and it shall surge and sink down, as the river of Egypt. Amos 8:8
And it shall come to pass in that day, saith the Lord Jehovah, that I will cause the sun to go down at noon, and I will darken the land in the clear day. Amos 8:9
And I will turn your feasts into mourning, and all your songs into lamentation; and I will bring up sackcloth upon all loins, and baldness upon every head; and I will make it as the mourning for an only son, and the end thereof as a bitter day. Amos 8:10
Behold, days come, saith the Lord Jehovah, when I will send a famine in the land; not a famine of bread, nor a thirst for water, but of hearing the words of Jehovah. Amos 8:11
And they shall wander from sea to sea, and from the north to the east; they shall run to and fro to seek the word of Jehovah, and shall not find it. Amos 8:12
In that day shall the fair virgins and the young men faint for thirst; Amos 8:13
they that swear by the sin of Samaria, and say, As thy god, O Dan, liveth! and, As the way of Beer-sheba liveth! even they shall fall, and never rise up again. Amos 8:14
I saw the Lord standing upon the altar; and he said, Smite the chapiter that the thresholds may shake; and break all of them in pieces, in the head; and I will slay the last of them with the sword: he that fleeth of them shall not get away by flight, and he that escapeth of them shall not be delivered. Amos 9:1
Though they dig into Sheol, thence shall my hand take them; and though they climb up to the heavens, thence will I bring them down; Amos 9:2
and though they hide themselves on the top of Carmel, I will search and take them out thence; and though they be hid from my sight in the bottom of the sea, there will I command the serpent, and it shall bite them; Amos 9:3
and though they go into captivity before their enemies, there will I command the sword, and it shall slay them: and I will set mine eyes upon them for evil, and not for good. Amos 9:4
And the Lord Jehovah of hosts is he that toucheth the land, and it melteth, and all that dwell therein shall mourn; and it shall wholly rise up like the Nile, and sink down as the river of Egypt. Amos 9:5
It is he that buildeth his upper chambers in the heavens, and hath founded his vault upon the earth; he that calleth for the waters of the sea, and poureth them out upon the face of the earth: Jehovah is his name. Amos 9:6
Are ye not as children of the Ethiopians unto me, O children of Israel? saith Jehovah. Have not I brought up Israel out of the land of Egypt? and the Philistines from Caphtor, and the Syrians from Kir? Amos 9:7
Behold, the eyes of the Lord Jehovah are upon the sinful kingdom, and I will destroy it from off the face of the earth: only that I will not utterly destroy the house of Jacob, saith Jehovah. Amos 9:8
For behold, I command, and I will shake the house of Israel to and fro among all the nations, like as one shaketh corn in a sieve; yet shall not the least grain fall upon the earth. Amos 9:9
All the sinners of my people shall die by the sword, who say, Evil shall not overtake nor befall us. Amos 9:10
In that day will I raise up the tabernacle of David which is fallen, and close up the breaches thereof; and I will raise up its ruins, and I will build it as in the days of old: Amos 9:11
that they may possess the remnant of Edom, and all the nations upon whom my name is called, saith Jehovah who doeth this. Amos 9:12
Behold, the days come, saith Jehovah, when the ploughman shall overtake the reaper, and the treader of grapes him that soweth seed; and the mountains shall drop new wine, and all the hills shall melt. Amos 9:13
And I will turn again the captivity of my people Israel, and they shall build the waste cities, and inhabit them; and they shall plant vineyards, and drink the wine thereof; and they shall make gardens, and eat the fruit of them. Amos 9:14
* The vision of Obadiah. Thus saith the Lord Jehovah concerning Edom: We have heard a report from Jehovah, and an ambassador is sent among the nations. Arise ye, and let us rise up against her in battle. Oba. 1:1
Behold, I have made thee small among the nations; thou art greatly despised. Oba. 1:2
The pride of thy heart hath deceived thee, thou that dwellest in the clefts of the rock, whose habitation is high; -- he that saith in his heart, Who shall bring me down to the ground? Oba. 1:3
Though thou exalt thyself as the eagle, and though thou set thy nest among the stars, thence will I bring thee down, saith Jehovah. Oba. 1:4
All the men of thy confederacy have pushed thee to the border; the men that were at peace with thee have deceived thee, they have prevailed against thee; they that eat thy bread have laid a snare under thee. There is no understanding in him. Oba. 1:7
Shall I not in that day, saith Jehovah, destroy the wise men out of Edom, and understanding out of the mount of Esau? Oba. 1:8
And thy mighty men, O Teman, shall be dismayed, to the end that every one may be cut off from the mount of Esau by slaughter. Oba. 1:9
In the day that thou stoodest on the other side, in the day that strangers carried away captive his substance, and foreigners entered into his gates, and cast lots upon Jerusalem, even thou wast as one of them. Oba. 1:11
But thou shouldest not have looked on the day of thy brother in the day of his disaster; neither shouldest thou have rejoiced over the children of Judah in the day of their destruction; nor have opened wide thy mouth in the day of distress. Oba. 1:12
Thou shouldest not have entered into the gate of my people in the day of their calamity, nor have looked, even thou, on their affliction in the day of their calamity, neither shouldest thou have laid hands on their substance in the day of their calamity; Oba. 1:13
and thou shouldest not have stood on the crossway, to cut off those of his that did escape, nor have delivered up those remaining of him in the day of distress. Oba. 1:14
For the day of Jehovah is near upon all the nations: as thou hast done, it shall be done unto thee: thy recompence shall return upon thine own head. Oba. 1:15
For as ye have drunk upon my holy mountain, so shall all the nations drink continually; yea, they shall drink, and shall swallow down, and they shall be as though they had not been. Oba. 1:16
But upon mount Zion shall there be deliverance, and it shall be holy; and the house of Jacob shall possess their possessions. Oba. 1:17
And the house of Jacob shall be a fire, and the house of Joseph a flame, and the house of Esau for stubble; and they shall kindle in them and devour them; and there shall not be any remaining of the house of Esau: for Jehovah hath spoken it. Oba. 1:18
And they of the south shall possess the mount of Esau; and they of the lowland the Philistines; yea, they shall possess the field of Ephraim and the field of Samaria; and Benjamin shall possess Gilead; Oba. 1:19
and the captives of this host of the children of Israel shall possess what belonged to the Canaanites, unto Zarephath; and the captives of Jerusalem, who were in Sepharad, shall possess the cities of the south. Oba. 1:20
And saviours shall come up on mount Zion, to judge the mount of Esau; and the kingdom shall be Jehovah's. Oba. 1:21
* And the word of Jehovah came unto Jonah the son of Amittai, saying, Jonah 1:1
Arise, go to Nineveh, the great city, and cry against it; for their wickedness is come up before me. Jonah 1:2
But Jonah rose up to flee unto Tarshish from the presence of Jehovah; and he went down to Joppa, and found a ship going to Tarshish; so he paid the fare thereof, and went down into it, to go with them unto Tarshish, from the presence of Jehovah. Jonah 1:3
But Jehovah sent out a great wind upon the sea, and there was a mighty tempest upon the sea, so that the ship was like to be broken. Jonah 1:4
And the mariners were afraid, and cried every one unto his god; and they cast forth the wares that were in the ship into the sea, to be lightened of them. But Jonah had gone down into the lower part of the ship; and he lay, and was fast asleep. Jonah 1:5
And the shipmaster came to him, and said unto him, What meanest thou, sleeper? arise, call upon thy God; perhaps God will think upon us, that we perish not. Jonah 1:6
And they said each one to his fellow, Come, and let us cast lots, that we may know for whose cause this evil is upon us. And they cast lots, and the lot fell upon Jonah. Jonah 1:7
And he said unto them, I am a Hebrew, and I fear Jehovah, the God of the heavens, who hath made the sea and the dry land. Jonah 1:9
Then were the men exceedingly afraid, and said unto him, What is this thou hast done? For the men knew that he fled from the presence of Jehovah: for he had told them. Jonah 1:10
And they said unto him, What shall we do unto thee, that the sea may be calm unto us? for the sea grew more and more tempestuous. Jonah 1:11
And he said unto them, Take me up, and cast me forth into the sea; so shall the sea be calm unto you: for I know that because of me this great tempest is upon you. Jonah 1:12
But the men rowed hard to regain the land; but they could not; for the sea grew more and more tempestuous against them. Jonah 1:13
And they took up Jonah, and cast him forth into the sea: and the sea ceased from its raging. Jonah 1:15
And the men feared Jehovah exceedingly, and offered a sacrifice unto Jehovah, and made vows. Jonah 1:16
* And Jehovah prepared a great fish to swallow up Jonah. And Jonah was in the belly of the fish three days and three nights. Jonah 1:17
And Jonah prayed unto Jehovah his God out of the fish's belly; Jonah 2:1
and he said: I cried by reason of my distress unto Jehovah, and he answered me; Out of the belly of Sheol cried I: thou heardest my voice. Jonah 2:2
For thou didst cast me into the depth, into the heart of the seas, And the flood was round about me: All thy breakers and thy billows are gone over me. Jonah 2:3
The waters encompassed me, to the soul: The deep was round about me, The weeds were wrapped about my head. Jonah 2:5
I went down to the bottoms of the mountains; The bars of the earth closed upon me for ever: But thou hast brought up my life from the pit, O Jehovah my God. Jonah 2:6
But I will sacrifice unto thee with the voice of thanksgiving; I will pay that which I have vowed. Salvation is of Jehovah. Jonah 2:9
And Jehovah commanded the fish, and it vomited out Jonah upon the dry land. Jonah 2:10
And the word of Jehovah came unto Jonah the second time, saying, Jonah 3:1
Arise, go to Nineveh, the great city, and preach unto it the preaching that I shall bid thee. Jonah 3:2
And Jonah arose, and went unto Nineveh, according to the word of Jehovah. Now Nineveh was an exceeding great city of three days' journey. Jonah 3:3
And Jonah began to enter into the city a day's journey, and he cried and said, Yet forty days, and Nineveh shall be overthrown! Jonah 3:4
And the men of Nineveh believed God, and proclaimed a fast, and put on sackcloth, from the greatest of them even to the least of them. Jonah 3:5
And the word reached the king of Nineveh, and he arose from his throne, and laid his robe from him, and covered himself with sackcloth, and sat in ashes. Jonah 3:6
And he caused it to be proclaimed and published through Nineveh by the decree of the king and his nobles, saying, Let neither man nor beast, herd nor flock, taste anything: let them not feed, nor drink water; Jonah 3:7
and let man and beast be covered with sackcloth, and cry mightily unto God; and let them turn every one from his evil way, and from the violence that is in their hands. Jonah 3:8
And God saw their works, that they turned from their evil way; and God repented of the evil that he had said he would do unto them, and he did it not. Jonah 3:10
And he prayed unto Jehovah, and said, Ah, Jehovah, was not this my saying when I was yet in my country? Therefore I was minded to flee at first unto Tarshish; for I knew that thou art a gracious *God, and merciful, slow to anger, and of great loving-kindness, and repentest thee of the evil. Jonah 4:2
And Jonah went out of the city, and sat on the east side of the city, and there made him a booth, and sat under it in the shade, till he might see what would become of the city. Jonah 4:5
And Jehovah Elohim prepared a gourd, and made it to come up over Jonah, that it might be a shade over his head, to deliver him from his trouble. And Jonah was exceeding glad because of the gourd. Jonah 4:6
But God prepared a worm when the morning rose the next day, and it smote the gourd, that it withered. Jonah 4:7
And it came to pass, when the sun arose, that God prepared a sultry east wind; and the sun beat upon the head of Jonah, so that he fainted; and he requested for himself that he might die, and said, It is better for me to die than to live. Jonah 4:8
And God said to Jonah, Doest thou well to be angry for the gourd? And he said, I do well to be angry, unto death. Jonah 4:9
And Jehovah said, Thou hast pity on the gourd, for which thou hast not laboured, neither madest it grow; which came up in a night, and perished in a night: Jonah 4:10
and I, should not I have pity on Nineveh, the great city, wherein are more than a hundred and twenty thousand persons that cannot discern between their right hand and their left hand; and also much cattle? Jonah 4:11
* The word of Jehovah that came to Micah the Morasthite in the days of Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah, kings of Judah, which he saw concerning Samaria and Jerusalem. Mic. 1:1
Hear, ye peoples, all of you; hearken, O earth, and all that is therein: and let the Lord Jehovah be witness against you, the Lord from his holy temple! Mic. 1:2
For behold, Jehovah cometh forth out of his place, and will come down, and tread upon the high places of the earth. Mic. 1:3
And the mountains shall be melted under him, and the valleys shall be cleft, as wax before the fire, as waters poured down a steep place. Mic. 1:4
For the transgression of Jacob is all this, and for the sins of the house of Israel. Whence is the transgression of Jacob? is it not from Samaria? And whence are the high places of Judah? are they not from Jerusalem? Mic. 1:5
Therefore will I make Samaria as a heap of the field, as plantings of a vineyard; and I will pour down the stones thereof into the valley, and I will lay bare the foundations thereof. Mic. 1:6
And all her graven images shall be beaten to pieces, and all her harlot-gifts shall be burned with fire, and all her idols will I make a desolation; for of the hire of a harlot hath she gathered them, and to a harlot's hire shall they return. Mic. 1:7
For this will I lament, and I will howl; I will go stripped and naked: I will make a wailing like the jackals, and mourning like the ostriches. Mic. 1:8
For her wounds are incurable; for it is come even unto Judah, it reacheth unto the gate of my people, even to Jerusalem. Mic. 1:9
Tell it not in Gath, weep not at all; at Beth-le-aphrah roll thyself in the dust. Mic. 1:10
Pass away, inhabitress of Shaphir, in nakedness and shame. The inhabitress of Zaanan is not come forth for the lamentation of Beth-ezel: he will take from you its shelter. Mic. 1:11
For the inhabitress of Maroth waited anxiously for good; but evil hath come down from Jehovah unto the gate of Jerusalem. Mic. 1:12
Bind the chariot to the swift steed, O inhabitress of Lachish: she was the beginning of sin to the daughter of Zion; for in thee were found the transgressions of Israel. Mic. 1:13
Therefore shalt thou give parting-gifts to Moresheth-Gath: the houses of Achzib shall be a lie to the kings of Israel. Mic. 1:14
I will yet bring unto thee an heir, O inhabitress of Mareshah; the glory of Israel shall come even unto Adullam. Mic. 1:15
Make thee bald, and poll thee for the children of thy delights; enlarge thy baldness as the eagle, for they are gone into captivity from thee. Mic. 1:16
Woe to them that devise iniquity and work evil upon their beds! When the morning is light they practise it, because it is in the power of their hand. Mic. 2:1
In that day shall they take up a proverb concerning you, and lament with a doleful lamentation, and say, We are utterly spoiled: he hath changed the portion of my people: how hath he removed it from me! He hath distributed our fields to the rebellious. Mic. 2:4
Therefore thou shalt have none that shall cast the measuring line upon a lot, in the congregation of Jehovah. Mic. 2:5
Prophesy ye not, they prophesy. If they do not prophesy to these, the ignominy will not depart. Mic. 2:6
O thou that art named the house of Jacob, Is Jehovah impatient? are these his doings? Do not my words do good to him that walketh uprightly? Mic. 2:7
But of late my people is risen up as an enemy: ye strip off the mantle with the garment from them that pass by securely, that are averse from war. Mic. 2:8
The women of my people do ye cast out from their pleasant houses; from their young children do ye take away my magnificence for ever. Mic. 2:9
Arise ye, and depart; for this is not the resting-place, because of defilement that bringeth destruction, even a grievous destruction. Mic. 2:10
If a man walking in wind and falsehood do lie, saying, I will prophesy unto thee of wine and of strong drink, he shall be the prophet of this people. Mic. 2:11
I will surely assemble, O Jacob, the whole of thee; I will surely gather the remnant of Israel; I will put them together as sheep of Bozrah, as a flock in the midst of their pasture: they shall make great noise by reason of the multitude of men. Mic. 2:12
One that breaketh through is gone up before them: they have broken forth, and have passed on to the gate, and are gone out by it; and their king passeth on before them, and Jehovah at the head of them. Mic. 2:13
And I said, Hear, I pray you, ye heads of Jacob, and princes of the house of Israel: Is it not for you to know judgment? Mic. 3:1
Ye who hate the good, and love evil; who pluck off their skin from them, and their flesh from off their bones; Mic. 3:2
and who eat the flesh of my people, and flay their skin from off them, and break their bones, and chop them in pieces as for the pot, and as flesh within the cauldron. Mic. 3:3
Thus saith Jehovah concerning the prophets that cause my people to err, that bite with their teeth, and cry, Peace! but whoso putteth not into their mouths they prepare war against him: Mic. 3:5
therefore ye shall have night without a vision; and it shall be dark unto you, without divination; and the sun shall go down upon the prophets, and the day shall be black over them. Mic. 3:6
And the seers shall be ashamed, and the diviners confounded; and they shall all cover their lips, for there will be no answer of God. Mic. 3:7
But truly I am filled with power by the Spirit of Jehovah, and with judgment and with might, to declare unto Jacob his transgression, and to Israel his sin. Mic. 3:8
Hear this, I pray you, ye heads of the house of Jacob, and princes of the house of Israel, that abhor judgment, and pervert all equity, Mic. 3:9
The heads thereof judge for reward, and the priests thereof teach for hire, and the prophets thereof divine for money; yet do they lean upon Jehovah, and say, Is not Jehovah in the midst of us? no evil shall come upon us. Mic. 3:11
Therefore shall Zion for your sake be ploughed as a field, and Jerusalem shall become heaps, and the mountain of the house as the high places of a forest. Mic. 3:12
But it shall come to pass in the end of days that the mountain of Jehovah's house shall be established on the top of the mountains, and shall be lifted up above the hills; and the peoples shall flow unto it. Mic. 4:1
And many nations shall go and say, Come, and let us go up to the mountain of Jehovah, and to the house of the God of Jacob; and he will teach us of his ways, and we will walk in his paths. For out of Zion shall go forth the law, and Jehovah's word from Jerusalem. Mic. 4:2
And they shall sit every one under his vine, and under his fig-tree; and there shall be none to make them afraid: for the mouth of Jehovah of hosts hath spoken it. Mic. 4:4
For all the peoples will walk every one in the name of his god; but we will walk in the name of Jehovah, our God for ever and ever. Mic. 4:5
And thou, O tower of the flock, hill of the daughter of Zion, unto thee shall it come, yea, the first dominion shall come, -- the kingdom to the daughter of Jerusalem. Mic. 4:8
Be in pain, and labour to bring forth, O daughter of Zion, like a woman in travail; for now shalt thou go forth out of the city, and thou shalt dwell in the field, and thou shalt go even to Babylon: there shalt thou be delivered; there Jehovah will redeem thee from the hand of thine enemies. Mic. 4:10
But they know not the thoughts of Jehovah, neither understand they his counsel; for he hath gathered them together as the sheaves into the threshing-floor. Mic. 4:12
Arise and thresh, daughter of Zion, for I will make thy horn iron, and I will make thy hoofs brass; and thou shalt beat in pieces many peoples; and I will devote their gain to Jehovah, and their substance to the Lord of the whole earth. Mic. 4:13
Now gather thyself in troops, O daughter of troops; he hath laid siege against us: they shall smite the judge of Israel with a rod upon the cheek. Mic. 5:1
* (And thou, Bethlehem Ephratah, little to be among the thousands of Judah, out of thee shall he come forth unto me who is to be Ruler in Israel: whose goings forth are from of old, from the days of eternity.) Mic. 5:2
Therefore will he give them up, until the time when she which travaileth shall have brought forth: and the residue of his brethren shall return unto the children of Israel. Mic. 5:3
And he shall stand and feed his flock in the strength of Jehovah, in the majesty of the name of Jehovah his God. And they shall abide; for now shall he be great even unto the ends of the earth. Mic. 5:4
And this man shall be Peace. When the Assyrian shall come into our land, and when he shall tread in our palaces, then shall we raise against him seven shepherds, and eight princes of men. Mic. 5:5
And they shall waste the land of Asshur with the sword, and the land of Nimrod in the entrances thereof; and he shall deliver us from the Assyrian, when he cometh into our land, and when he treadeth within our borders. Mic. 5:6
And the remnant of Jacob shall be in the midst of many peoples as dew from Jehovah, as showers upon the grass, that tarrieth not for man, neither waiteth for the sons of men. Mic. 5:7
And the remnant of Jacob shall be among the nations, in the midst of many peoples, as a lion among the beasts of the forest, as a young lion among the flocks of sheep: who, if he go through, treadeth down, and teareth in pieces, and there is none to deliver. Mic. 5:8
And it shall come to pass in that day, saith Jehovah, that I will cut off thy horses out of the midst of thee, and I will destroy thy chariots. Mic. 5:10
And I will cut off the cities of thy land, and overthrow all thy strongholds. Mic. 5:11
Thy graven images also will I cut off, and thy statues out of the midst of thee; and thou shalt no more bow down to the work of thy hands. Mic. 5:13
And I will pluck up thine Asherahs out of the midst of thee, and I will destroy thy cities. Mic. 5:14
And I will execute vengeance in anger and in fury upon the nations, such as they have not heard of. Mic. 5:15
Hear ye now what Jehovah saith: Arise, contend before the mountains, and let the hills hear thy voice. Mic. 6:1
Hear, ye mountains, Jehovah's controversy, and ye, unchanging foundations of the earth; for Jehovah hath a controversy with his people, and he will plead with Israel. Mic. 6:2
For I brought thee up out of the land of Egypt, and redeemed thee out of the house of bondage; and I sent before thee Moses, Aaron, and Miriam. Mic. 6:4
My people, remember now what Balak king of Moab consulted, and what Balaam the son of Beor answered him, from Shittim unto Gilgal, that ye may know the righteousness of Jehovah. Mic. 6:5
Wherewith shall I come before Jehovah, bow myself before the high God? Shall I come before him with burnt-offerings, with calves of a year old? Mic. 6:6
Will Jehovah take pleasure in thousands of rams, in ten thousands of rivers of oil? Shall I give my firstborn for my transgression, the fruit of my body for the sin of my soul? Mic. 6:7
Jehovah's voice crieth unto the city, and wisdom looketh on thy name. Hear ye the rod, and who hath appointed it. Mic. 6:9
Are there yet treasures of wickedness in the house of the wicked, and the scant measure which is abominable? Mic. 6:10
Shall I be pure with the unjust balances, and with the bag of deceitful weights? Mic. 6:11
Thou shalt eat, and not be satisfied, and thine emptiness shall remain in the midst of thee; and thou shalt take away, and not save; and what thou savest will I give up to the sword. Mic. 6:14
Thou shalt sow, but thou shalt not reap; thou shalt tread the olives, but thou shalt not anoint thee with oil; and new wine, but shalt not drink wine. Mic. 6:15
For the statutes of Omri are kept, and all the works of the house of Ahab; and ye walk in their counsels: that I should make thee a desolation, and the inhabitants thereof a hissing; and ye shall bear the reproach of my people. Mic. 6:16
Woe is me! for I am as when they have gathered the summer-fruits, as the grape-gleanings of the vintage. There is no cluster to eat; there is no early fruit which my soul desired. Mic. 7:1
The godly man hath perished out of the land, and there is none upright among men: they all lie in wait for blood, they hunt every man his brother with a net. Mic. 7:2
Both hands are for evil, to do it well. The prince asketh, and the judge is there for a reward; and the great man uttereth his soul's greed: and together they combine it. Mic. 7:3
The best of them is as a briar; the most upright, worse than a thorn-fence. The day of thy watchmen, thy visitation is come; now shall be their perplexity. Mic. 7:4
Believe ye not in a companion, put not confidence in a familiar friend: keep the doors of thy mouth from her that lieth in thy bosom. Mic. 7:5
For the son dishonoureth the father, the daughter riseth up against her mother, the daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law: a man's enemies are the men of his own household. Mic. 7:6
But as for me, I will look unto Jehovah; I will wait for the God of my salvation: my God will hear me. Mic. 7:7
I will bear the indignation of Jehovah -- for I have sinned against him -- until he plead my cause, and execute judgment for me: he will bring me forth to the light; I shall behold his righteousness. Mic. 7:9
And mine enemy shall see it, and shame shall cover her which said unto me, Where is Jehovah thy God? Mine eyes shall behold her; now shall she be trodden down, as the mire of the streets. Mic. 7:10
In the day when thy walls shall be built, on that day shall the established limit recede. Mic. 7:11
In that day they shall come to thee from Assyria and the cities of Egypt, and from Egypt to the river, and from sea to sea, and from mountain to mountain. Mic. 7:12
But the land shall be desolate because of them that dwell therein, for the fruit of their doings. Mic. 7:13
Feed thy people with thy rod, the flock of thine inheritance, dwelling alone in the forest, in the midst of Carmel: let them feed in Bashan and Gilead, as in the days of old. Mic. 7:14
-- As in the days of thy coming forth out of the land of Egypt, will I shew them marvellous things. Mic. 7:15
-- The nations shall see, and be ashamed for all their might: they shall lay their hand upon their mouth, their ears shall be deaf. Mic. 7:16
They shall lick dust like the serpent; like crawling things of the earth, they shall come trembling forth from their close places. They shall turn with fear to Jehovah our God, and shall be afraid because of thee. Mic. 7:17
Who is a *God like unto thee, that forgiveth iniquity, and passeth by the transgression of the remnant of his heritage? He retaineth not his anger for ever, because he delighteth in loving-kindness. Mic. 7:18
He will yet again have compassion on us, he will tread under foot our iniquities: and thou wilt cast all their sins into the depths of the sea. Mic. 7:19
Thou wilt perform truth to Jacob, loving-kindness to Abraham, which thou hast sworn unto our fathers, from the days of old. Mic. 7:20
* The burden of Nineveh. The book of the vision of Nahum the Elkoshite. Nah. 1:1
Jehovah is slow to anger, and great in power, and doth not at all clear the guilty: Jehovah, -- his way is in the whirlwind and in the storm, and the clouds are the dust of his feet. Nah. 1:3
He rebuketh the sea, and maketh it dry, and drieth up all the rivers: Bashan languisheth, and Carmel, and the flower of Lebanon languisheth. Nah. 1:4
The mountains quake before him, and the hills melt, and the earth is upheaved at his presence, and the world, and all that dwell therein. Nah. 1:5
Who shall stand before his indignation? and who shall abide in the fierceness of his anger? His fury is poured out like fire, and the rocks are broken asunder by him. Nah. 1:6
Jehovah is good, a stronghold in the day of trouble; and he knoweth them that trust in him. Nah. 1:7
But with an overrunning flood he will make a full end of the place thereof, and darkness shall pursue his enemies. Nah. 1:8
What do ye imagine against Jehovah? He will make a full end: trouble shall not rise up the second time. Nah. 1:9
And Jehovah hath given commandment concerning thee, that no more of thy name be sown: out of the house of thy god will I cut off the graven image, and the molten image: I will prepare thy grave; for thou art vile. Nah. 1:14
* Behold upon the mountains the feet of him that bringeth glad tidings, that publisheth peace! Celebrate thy feasts, Judah, perform thy vows: for the wicked one shall no more pass through thee; he is utterly cut off. Nah. 1:15
He that dasheth in pieces is come up against thy face: keep the fortress, watch the way, make thy loins strong, fortify thy power mightily. Nah. 2:1
For Jehovah hath brought again the glory of Jacob, as the glory of Israel; for the wasters have wasted them, and marred their vine-branches. Nah. 2:2
The shield of his mighty men is made red, the valiant men are in scarlet: the chariots glitter with the sheen of steel, in the day of his preparation, and the spears are brandished. Nah. 2:3
The chariots rush madly in the streets, they justle one against another in the broad ways: the appearance of them is like torches, they run like lightnings. Nah. 2:4
He bethinketh him of his nobles: they stumble in their march; they make haste to the wall thereof, and the shelter is prepared. Nah. 2:5
The gates of the rivers are opened, and the palace melteth away. Nah. 2:6
And it is decreed: she shall be uncovered, she shall be led away, and her maids shall moan as with the voice of doves, drumming upon their breasts. Nah. 2:7
Nineveh hath been like a pool of water, since the day she existed, yet they flee away. ... Stand! Stand! But none looketh back. Nah. 2:8
Plunder the silver, plunder the gold; for there is no end of the splendid store of all precious vessels. Nah. 2:9
She is empty, and void, and waste; and the heart melteth, and the knees smite together, and writhing pain is in all loins, and all their faces grow pale. Nah. 2:10
Where is now the den of the lions, and the feeding-place of the young lions, where the lion, the lioness, and the lion's whelp walked, and none made them afraid? Nah. 2:11
The lion tore in pieces enough for his whelps, and strangled for his lionesses, and filled his holes with prey, and his dens with ravin. Nah. 2:12
Behold, I am against thee, saith Jehovah of hosts: and I will burn her chariots into smoke; and the sword shall devour thy young lions, and I will cut off thy prey from the earth; and the voice of thy messengers shall no more be heard. Nah. 2:13
Woe to the bloody city! It is all full of lies and violence; the prey departeth not. Nah. 3:1
The crack of the whip, and the noise of the rattling of the wheels, and of the prancing horses, and of the bounding chariots! Nah. 3:2
The horseman springing up, and the glitter of the sword, and the flash of the spear, and a multitude of slain, and a mass of carcases, and no end of corpses: they stumble over their corpses. Nah. 3:3
-- Because of the multitude of the fornications of the well-favoured harlot, mistress of sorceries, that selleth nations through her fornications, and families through her sorceries, Nah. 3:4
behold, I am against thee, saith Jehovah of hosts; and I will uncover thy skirts upon thy face, and I will shew the nations thy nakedness, and the kingdoms thy shame. Nah. 3:5
Art thou better than No-Amon, that was situate among the rivers, that had the waters round about her, whose rampart was the sea, and of the sea was her wall? Nah. 3:8
Ethiopia was her strength, and Egypt, and it was infinite; Phut and the Libyans were her helpers. Nah. 3:9
She too was carried away, she went into captivity: her infants also were dashed in pieces, at the top of all the streets; and they cast lots for her honourable men, and all her great men were bound with chains. Nah. 3:10
Thou also shalt be drunken: thou shalt be hid; thou also shalt seek a refuge from the enemy. Nah. 3:11
All thy strongholds are like fig-trees with the first-ripe figs: if they be shaken, they even fall into the mouth of the eater. Nah. 3:12
Behold, thy people in the midst of thee are as women: the gates of thy land are set wide open unto thine enemies; the fire devoureth thy bars. Nah. 3:13
Draw thee water for the siege, strengthen thy fortresses; go into the clay, and tread the mortar, make strong the brick-kiln. Nah. 3:14
There shall the fire devour thee; the sword shall cut thee off; it shall devour thee like the cankerworm. Make thyself many as the cankerworm, make thyself many as the locust. Nah. 3:15
Thou hast multiplied thy merchants more than the stars of the heavens; the cankerworm spreadeth himself out and flieth away. Nah. 3:16
Thy chosen men are as the locusts, and thy captains as swarms of grasshoppers, which camp in the hedges in the cold day: when the sun ariseth they flee away, and their place is not known where they are. Nah. 3:17
Thy shepherds slumber, O king of Assyria; thy nobles lie still; thy people are scattered upon the mountains, and no man gathereth them. Nah. 3:18
There is no healing of thy breach; thy wound is grievous; all that hear the report of thee clap the hands over thee; for upon whom hath not thy wickedness passed continually? Nah. 3:19
* The burden which Habakkuk the prophet did see. Hab. 1:1
Therefore the law is powerless, and justice doth never go forth; for the wicked encompasseth the righteous; therefore judgment goeth forth perverted. Hab. 1:4
See ye among the nations, and behold, and wonder marvellously; for I work a work in your days, which ye will not believe, though it be declared to you. Hab. 1:5
For behold, I raise up the Chaldeans, that bitter and impetuous nation, which marcheth through the breadth of the earth, to possess dwelling-places that are not theirs. Hab. 1:6
And their horses are swifter than the leopards, and are more agile than the evening wolves; and their horsemen prance proudly, and their horsemen come from afar: they fly as an eagle that hasteth to devour. Hab. 1:8
They come all of them for violence: the crowd of their faces is forwards, and they gather captives as the sand. Hab. 1:9
Thou art of purer eyes than to behold evil, and canst not look on mischief: wherefore lookest thou upon them that deal treacherously, and keepest silence when the wicked swalloweth up a man more righteous than he? Hab. 1:13
And thou makest men as the fishes of the sea, as the creeping things, that have no ruler over them. Hab. 1:14
He taketh up all of them with the hook, he catcheth them in his net, and gathereth them into his drag; therefore he rejoiceth and is glad: Hab. 1:15
Shall he therefore empty his net, and not spare to slay the nations continually? Hab. 1:17
I will stand upon my watch, and set me upon the tower, and will look forth to see what he will say unto me, and what I shall answer as to my reproof. Hab. 2:1
And Jehovah answered me and said, Write the vision, and engrave it upon tablets, that he may run that readeth it. Hab. 2:2
For the vision is yet for an appointed time, but it hasteth to the end, and shall not lie: though it tarry, wait for it; for it will surely come, it will not delay. Hab. 2:3
Behold, his soul is puffed up, it is not upright within him: but the just shall live by his faith. Hab. 2:4
And moreover, the wine is treacherous: he is a proud man, and keepeth not at rest, he enlargeth his desire as Sheol, and he is like death and cannot be satisfied; and he assembleth unto him all nations, and gathereth unto him all peoples. Hab. 2:5
Because thou hast plundered many nations, all the rest of the peoples shall plunder thee; because of men's blood, and for the violence done to the land, to the city, and all that dwell therein. Hab. 2:8
Woe to him that getteth iniquitous gain to his house, that he may set his nest on high, that he may be delivered from the grasp of evil! Hab. 2:9
For the stone shall cry out of the wall, and the beam out of the timber shall answer it. Hab. 2:11
Behold, is it not of Jehovah of hosts that the peoples labour for the fire, and the nations weary themselves in vain? Hab. 2:13
For the earth shall be filled with the knowledge of the glory of Jehovah as the waters cover the sea. Hab. 2:14
Thou art filled with shame instead of glory; drink thou also, and let thy foreskin be uncovered: the cup of Jehovah's right hand shall be turned unto thee, and a shameful spewing shall be on thy glory. Hab. 2:16
For the violence done to Lebanon shall cover thee, and the destruction of beasts which made them afraid; because of men's blood, and for the violence done to the land, to the city, and all that dwell therein. Hab. 2:17
What profiteth the graven image that the maker thereof hath graven it? the molten image, and the teacher of falsehood, that the maker of his work dependeth thereon, to make dumb idols? Hab. 2:18
Woe unto him that saith to the wood, Awake! to the dumb stone, Arise! Shall it teach? Behold it is overlaid with gold and silver, and there is no breath at all in the midst of it. Hab. 2:19
But Jehovah is in his holy temple. Let all the earth keep silence before him! Hab. 2:20
A Prayer of Habakkuk the prophet upon Shigionoth. Hab. 3:1
Jehovah, I heard the report of thee, and I feared. Jehovah, revive thy work in the midst of the years, In the midst of the years make it known: In wrath remember mercy! Hab. 3:2
+God came from Teman, And the Holy One from mount Paran. Selah. His glory covereth the heavens, And the earth is full of his praise. Hab. 3:3
And his brightness was as the light; Rays came forth from his hand; And there was the hiding of his power. Hab. 3:4
Before him went the pestilence, And a burning flame went forth at his feet. Hab. 3:5
He stood, and measured the earth; He beheld, and discomfited the nations; And the eternal mountains were scattered, The everlasting hills gave way: His ways are everlasting. Hab. 3:6
I saw the tents of Cushan in affliction; The curtains of the land of Midian did tremble. Hab. 3:7
Was Jehovah wrathful with the rivers? Was thine anger against the rivers? Was thy rage against the sea, That thou didst ride upon thy horses, Thy chariots of salvation? Hab. 3:8
Thy bow was made naked, The rods of discipline sworn according to thy word. Selah. Thou didst cleave the earth with rivers. Hab. 3:9
The mountains saw thee, they were in travail: Torrents of waters passed by; The deep uttered its voice, Lifted up its hands on high. Hab. 3:10
The sun and moon stood still in their habitation, At the light of thine arrows which shot forth, -- At the shining of thy glittering spear. Hab. 3:11
Thou didst march through the land in indignation, Thou didst thresh the nations in anger. Hab. 3:12
Thou wentest forth for the salvation of thy people, For the salvation of thine anointed; Thou didst smite off the head from the house of the wicked, Laying bare the foundation even to the neck. Selah. Hab. 3:13
Thou didst strike through with his own spears the head of his leaders: They came out as a whirlwind to scatter me, Whose exulting was as to devour the afflicted secretly. Hab. 3:14
Thou didst walk through the sea with thy horses, The heap of great waters. Hab. 3:15
I heard, and my belly trembled; My lips quivered at the voice; Rottenness entered into my bones, and I trembled in my place, That I might rest in the day of distress, When their invader shall come up against the people. Hab. 3:16
For though the fig-tree shall not blossom, Neither shall fruit be in the vines; The labour of the olive-tree shall fail, And the fields shall yield no food; The flock shall be cut off from the fold, And there shall be no herd in the stalls: Hab. 3:17
Yet I will rejoice in Jehovah, I will joy in the God of my salvation. Hab. 3:18
Jehovah, the Lord, is my strength, And he maketh my feet like hinds' feet, And he will make me to walk upon my high places. To the chief Musician. On my stringed instruments. Hab. 3:19
* The word of Jehovah that came unto Zephaniah the son of Cushi, the son of Gedaliah, the son of Amariah, the son of Hezekiah, in the days of Josiah the son of Amon, king of Judah. Zeph. 1:1
I will utterly take away everything from off the face of the ground, saith Jehovah: Zeph. 1:2
I will take away man and beast; I will take away the fowl of the heavens and the fishes of the sea, and the stumbling-blocks with the wicked, and I will cut off mankind from off the face of the ground, saith Jehovah. Zeph. 1:3
And I will stretch forth my hand upon Judah, and upon all the inhabitants of Jerusalem; and I will cut off the remnant of Baal from this place, the name of the Chemarim with the priests; Zeph. 1:4
and them that bow down to the host of the heavens upon the housetops; and them that bow down to Jehovah, that swear by him, and swear by Malcham; Zeph. 1:5
Be silent at the presence of the Lord Jehovah; for the day of Jehovah is at hand; for Jehovah hath prepared a sacrifice, he hath hallowed his guests. Zeph. 1:7
And it shall come to pass in the day of Jehovah's sacrifice, that I will punish the princes, and the king's sons, and all such as are clothed with foreign apparel. Zeph. 1:8
And in that day will I punish all those that leap over the threshold, who fill their master's house with violence and deceit. Zeph. 1:9
And in that day, saith Jehovah, there shall be the noise of a cry from the fish-gate, and a howling from the second quarter, and a great crashing from the hills. Zeph. 1:10
Howl, ye inhabitants of Maktesh; for all the people of Canaan are cut down, all they that are laden with silver are cut off. Zeph. 1:11
And it shall come to pass at that time, that I will search Jerusalem with lamps, and punish the men that are settled on their lees, that say in their heart, Jehovah will not do good, neither will he do evil. Zeph. 1:12
And their wealth shall become a booty, and their houses a desolation; and they shall build houses, and not inhabit them; and they shall plant vineyards, and not drink the wine thereof. Zeph. 1:13
The great day of Jehovah is near, it is near, and hasteth greatly. The voice of the day of Jehovah: the mighty man shall cry there bitterly. Zeph. 1:14
a day of the trumpet and alarm, against the fenced cities and against the high battlements. Zeph. 1:16
their silver and their gold shall not be able to deliver them, in the day of Jehovah's wrath; but the whole land shall be devoured by the fire of his jealousy: for a full end, yea, a sudden end, shall he make of all them that dwell in the land. Zeph. 1:18
before the decree bring forth, before the day pass away as chaff, before the fierce anger of Jehovah come upon you, before the day of Jehovah's anger come upon you. Zeph. 2:2
Seek Jehovah, all ye meek of the land, who have performed his ordinance; seek righteousness, seek meekness: it may be ye shall be hid in the day of Jehovah's anger. Zeph. 2:3
Woe unto the inhabitants of the sea-coast, the nation of the Cherethites! The word of Jehovah is against you, O Canaan, land of the Philistines: I will destroy thee, that there shall be no inhabitant; Zeph. 2:5
and the sea-coast shall be cave-dwellings for shepherds, and folds for flocks. Zeph. 2:6
And the coast shall be for the remnant of the house of Judah; they shall feed thereon: in the houses of Ashkelon shall they lie down in the evening: for Jehovah their God shall visit them, and turn again their captivity. Zeph. 2:7
I have heard the reproach of Moab, and the revilings of the children of Ammon, wherewith they have reproached my people, and magnified themselves against their border. Zeph. 2:8
Therefore, as I live, saith Jehovah of hosts, the God of Israel, Moab shall certainly be as Sodom, and the children of Ammon as Gomorrah, a possession of nettles, and salt-pits, and a perpetual desolation; the remnant of my people shall spoil them, and the residue of my nation shall possess them. Zeph. 2:9
This shall they have for their pride, because they have reproached and magnified themselves against the people of Jehovah of hosts. Zeph. 2:10
Jehovah will be terrible unto them; for he will famish all the gods of the earth; and all the isles of the nations shall worship him, every one from his place. Zeph. 2:11
Ye Ethiopians also, ye shall be the slain of my sword. Zeph. 2:12
And he will stretch out his hand against the north, and destroy Assyria; and will make Nineveh a desolation, a place of drought like the wilderness. Zeph. 2:13
And flocks shall lie down in the midst of her, all the crowd of beasts; both the pelican and the bittern shall lodge in the chapiters thereof; a voice shall sing in the windows; desolation shall be on the thresholds: for he hath laid bare the cedar work. Zeph. 2:14
This is the rejoicing city that dwelt in security, that said in her heart, I am, and there is none else beside me: how is she become a desolation, a couching-place for beasts! Every one that passeth by her shall hiss, shall wave his hand. Zeph. 2:15
Woe to her that is rebellious and corrupted, to the oppressing city! Zeph. 3:1
She hearkened not to the voice; she received not correction; she confided not in Jehovah; she drew not near her God. Zeph. 3:2
Her princes in the midst of her are roaring lions; her judges are evening wolves, that leave nothing for the morning. Zeph. 3:3
Her prophets are vain-glorious, treacherous persons; her priests profane the sanctuary, they do violence to the law. Zeph. 3:4
The righteous Jehovah is in the midst of her: he doeth no wrong. Every morning doth he bring his judgment to light; it faileth not: but the unrighteous knoweth no shame. Zeph. 3:5
Therefore wait ye for me, saith Jehovah, until the day that I rise up to the prey; for my determination is to assemble the nations, that I may gather the kingdoms together, to pour upon them mine indignation, -- all my fierce anger: for all the earth shall be devoured with the fire of my jealousy. Zeph. 3:8
For then will I turn to the peoples a pure language, that they may all call upon the name of Jehovah, to serve him with one consent. Zeph. 3:9
From beyond the rivers of Cush my suppliants, the daughter of my dispersed, shall bring mine oblation. Zeph. 3:10
In that day thou shalt not be ashamed for all thy doings wherein thou hast transgressed against me; for then I will take away out of the midst of thee them that exult in thy pride, and thou shalt no more be haughty because of my holy mountain. Zeph. 3:11
And I will leave in the midst of thee an afflicted and poor people, and they shall trust in the name of Jehovah. Zeph. 3:12
The remnant of Israel shall not work unrighteousness, nor speak lies; neither shall a deceitful tongue be found in their mouth: but *they* shall feed and lie down, and none shall make them afraid. Zeph. 3:13
Exult, O daughter of Zion; shout, O Israel; rejoice and be glad with all the heart, O daughter of Jerusalem: Zeph. 3:14
Jehovah hath taken away thy judgments, he hath cast out thine enemy; the King of Israel, Jehovah, is in the midst of thee; thou shalt not see evil any more. Zeph. 3:15
I will gather them that sorrow for the solemn assemblies, who were of thee: the reproach of it was a burden unto them. Zeph. 3:18
Behold, at that time I will deal with all them that afflict thee; and I will save her that halted, and gather her that was driven out; and I will make them a praise and a name in all the lands where they have been put to shame. Zeph. 3:19
At that time will I bring you, yea, at the time that I gather you; for I will make you a name and a praise, among all the peoples of the earth, when I shall turn again your captivity before your eyes, saith Jehovah. Zeph. 3:20
* In the second year of Darius the king, in the sixth month, on the first day of the month, came the word of Jehovah by the prophet Haggai unto Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, governor of Judah, and to Joshua the son of Jehozadak, the high priest, saying, Hag. 1:1
Thus speaketh Jehovah of hosts, saying, This people say, The time is not come, the time that Jehovah's house should be built. Hag. 1:2
And the word of Jehovah came by Haggai the prophet, saying, Hag. 1:3
Go up to the mountain and bring wood, and build the house, and I will take pleasure in it, and I will be glorified, saith Jehovah. Hag. 1:8
Therefore over you the heavens withhold their dew, and the earth withholdeth its fruit. Hag. 1:10
And I called for a drought upon the land, and upon the mountains, and upon the corn, and upon the new wine, and upon the oil, and upon that which the ground bringeth forth, and upon man, and upon cattle, and upon all the labour of the hands. Hag. 1:11
And Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, and Joshua the son of Jehozadak, the high priest, and all the remnant of the people, hearkened to the voice of Jehovah their God, and the words of Haggai the prophet, according as Jehovah their God had sent him, and the people feared before Jehovah. Hag. 1:12
Then spoke Haggai, Jehovah's messenger, in Jehovah's message unto the people, saying, I am with you, saith Jehovah. Hag. 1:13
And Jehovah stirred up the spirit of Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, governor of Judah, and the spirit of Joshua the son of Jehozadak, the high priest, and the spirit of all the remnant of the people; and they came and worked at the house of Jehovah of hosts, their God, Hag. 1:14
in the four and twentieth day of the sixth month, in the second year of Darius the king. Hag. 1:15
In the seventh month, on the one and twentieth day of the month, came the word of Jehovah by the prophet Haggai, saying, Hag. 2:1
Speak now to Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, governor of Judah, and to Joshua the son of Jehozadak, the high priest, and to the remnant of the people, saying, Hag. 2:2
But now be strong, Zerubbabel, saith Jehovah; and be strong, Joshua son of Jehozadak, the high priest; and be strong, all ye people of the land, saith Jehovah, and work: for I am with you, saith Jehovah of hosts. Hag. 2:4
The word that I covenanted with you when ye came out of Egypt, and my Spirit, remain among you: fear ye not. Hag. 2:5
For thus saith Jehovah of hosts: Yet once, it is a little while, and I will shake the heavens, and the earth, and the sea, and the dry land; Hag. 2:6
and I will shake all nations, and the desire of all nations shall come; and I will fill this house with glory, saith Jehovah of hosts. Hag. 2:7
The silver is mine, and the gold is mine, saith Jehovah of hosts. Hag. 2:8
The latter glory of this house shall be greater than the former, saith Jehovah of hosts; and in this place will I give peace, saith Jehovah of hosts. Hag. 2:9
On the four and twentieth day of the ninth month, in the second year of Darius, came the word of Jehovah by Haggai the prophet, saying, Hag. 2:10
Thus saith Jehovah of hosts: Ask now the priests concerning the law, saying, Hag. 2:11
If one bear holy flesh in the skirt of his garment, and with his skirt do touch bread, or pottage, or wine, or oil, or any food -- shall it become holy? And the priests answered and said, No. Hag. 2:12
And Haggai said, If one that is unclean by a dead body touch any of these, is it become unclean? And the priests answered and said, It shall be unclean. Hag. 2:13
And now, I pray you, consider from this day and onward, from before a stone was laid upon a stone in the temple of Jehovah, Hag. 2:15
-- before those days were, when one came to a heap of twenty measures, there were but ten; when one came to the vat to draw out fifty press-measures, there were but twenty. Hag. 2:16
I smote you with blasting and with mildew and with hail in all the work of your hands; and ye turned not to me, saith Jehovah. Hag. 2:17
Consider, I pray you, from this day and onward, from the four and twentieth day of the ninth month, from the day that the foundation of Jehovah's temple was laid, consider it. Hag. 2:18
Is the seed yet in the barn? yea, the vine, and the fig-tree, and the pomegranate, and the olive-tree have not brought forth: from this day will I bless you. Hag. 2:19
And the word of Jehovah came the second time unto Haggai on the four and twentieth day of the month, saying, Hag. 2:20
Speak to Zerubbabel, governor of Judah, saying, I will shake the heavens and the earth; Hag. 2:21
and I will overthrow the throne of kingdoms, and I will destroy the strength of the kingdoms of the nations; and I will overthrow the chariots, and those that ride therein; and the horses and their riders shall come down, every one by the sword of his brother. Hag. 2:22
* In the eighth month, in the second year of Darius, came the word of Jehovah unto Zechariah the prophet, the son of Berechiah, the son of Iddo, saying, Zech. 1:1
Be ye not as your fathers, unto whom the former prophets cried, saying, Thus saith Jehovah of hosts: Turn ye now from your evil ways, and from your evil doings; but they did not hearken nor attend unto me, saith Jehovah. Zech. 1:4
Your fathers, where are they? and the prophets, do they live for ever? Zech. 1:5
But my words and my statutes, which I commanded my servants the prophets, did they not overtake your fathers? And they turned and said, Like as Jehovah of hosts thought to do unto us, according to our ways and according to our doings, so hath he dealt with us. Zech. 1:6
Upon the four and twentieth day of the eleventh month, which is the month Shebat, in the second year of Darius, came the word of Jehovah unto Zechariah the prophet, the son of Berechiah, the son of Iddo, saying, Zech. 1:7
I saw by night, and behold, a man riding upon a red horse, and he stood among the myrtle-trees that were in the low valley; and behind him were red, bay, and white horses. Zech. 1:8
And I said, My lord, what are these? And the angel that talked with me said unto me, I will shew thee what these are. Zech. 1:9
And the man that stood among the myrtle-trees answered and said, These are they whom Jehovah hath sent to walk to and fro through the earth. Zech. 1:10
And they answered the angel of Jehovah that stood among the myrtle-trees, and said, We have walked to and fro through the earth, and behold, all the earth sitteth still and is at rest. Zech. 1:11
And the angel of Jehovah answered and said, Jehovah of hosts, how long wilt thou not have mercy on Jerusalem and on the cities of Judah, against which thou hast had indignation these seventy years? Zech. 1:12
And Jehovah answered the angel that talked with me good words, comforting words. Zech. 1:13
And the angel that talked with me said unto me, Cry, saying, Thus saith Jehovah of hosts: I am jealous for Jerusalem and for Zion with a great jealousy, Zech. 1:14
and I am wroth exceedingly with the nations that are at ease; for I was but a little wroth, and they helped forward the affliction. Zech. 1:15
Therefore thus saith Jehovah: I am returned to Jerusalem with mercies: my house shall be built in it, saith Jehovah of hosts, and the line shall be stretched forth upon Jerusalem. Zech. 1:16
And I said unto the angel that talked with me, What are these? And he said to me, These are the horns which have scattered Judah, Israel, and Jerusalem. Zech. 1:19
And I said, What come these to do? And he spoke, saying, Those are the horns which scattered Judah, so that no man lifted up his head; but these are come to affright them, to cast out the horns of the nations, which lifted up the horn against the land of Judah to scatter it. Zech. 1:21
And I said, Whither goest thou? And he said unto me, To measure Jerusalem, to see what is the breadth thereof, and what is the length thereof. Zech. 2:2
And behold, the angel that talked with me went forth; and another angel went forth to meet him, Zech. 2:3
and said unto him, Run, speak to this young man, saying, Jerusalem shall be inhabited as towns without walls for the multitude of men and cattle therein; Zech. 2:4
and I, saith Jehovah, I will be unto her a wall of fire round about, and will be the glory in the midst of her. Zech. 2:5
Ho, ho! flee from the land of the north, saith Jehovah; for I have scattered you abroad as the four winds of the heavens, saith Jehovah. Zech. 2:6
Ho! escape, Zion, that dwellest with the daughter of Babylon. Zech. 2:7
For thus saith Jehovah of hosts: After the glory, hath he sent me unto the nations that made you a spoil; for he that toucheth you toucheth the apple of his eye. Zech. 2:8
Sing aloud and rejoice, daughter of Zion; for behold, I come, and I will dwell in the midst of thee, saith Jehovah. Zech. 2:10
And many nations shall join themselves to Jehovah in that day, and shall be unto me for a people; and I will dwell in the midst of thee, and thou shalt know that Jehovah of hosts hath sent me unto thee. Zech. 2:11
And Jehovah shall inherit Judah as his portion in the holy land, and shall yet choose Jerusalem. Zech. 2:12
And he shewed me Joshua the high priest standing before the Angel of Jehovah, and Satan standing at his right hand to resist him. Zech. 3:1
And Jehovah said unto Satan, Jehovah rebuke thee, O Satan! Yea, Jehovah that hath chosen Jerusalem rebuke thee! Is not this a brand plucked out of the fire? Zech. 3:2
And Joshua was clothed with filthy garments, and stood before the Angel. Zech. 3:3
And he spoke and said unto those that stood before him, saying, Take away the filthy garments from off him. And unto him he said, See, I have caused thine iniquity to pass from thee, and I clothe thee with festival-robes. Zech. 3:4
And I said, Let them set a pure turban upon his head. And they set the pure turban upon his head, and clothed him with garments; and the Angel of Jehovah stood by. Zech. 3:5
And the Angel of Jehovah protested unto Joshua, saying, Zech. 3:6
Hear now, Joshua the high priest, thou and thy fellows that sit before thee -- for they are men of portent -- for behold, I will bring forth my servant the Branch. Zech. 3:8
For behold, the stone that I have laid before Joshua -- upon one stone are seven eyes; behold, I will engrave the graving thereof, saith Jehovah of hosts, and I will remove the iniquity of this land in one day. Zech. 3:9
In that day, saith Jehovah of hosts, shall ye invite every man his neighbour under the vine and under the fig-tree. Zech. 3:10
And the angel that talked with me came again, and waked me, as a man that is wakened out of his sleep. Zech. 4:1
And he said unto me, What seest thou? And I said, I see, and behold, a lamp-stand all of gold, with a bowl upon the top of it, and its seven lamps thereon, seven lamps and seven pipes to the lamps, which are upon the top thereof; Zech. 4:2
and two olive-trees beside it, one on the right of the bowl, and the other on the left of it. Zech. 4:3
And I answered and spoke to the angel that talked with me, saying, What are these, my lord? Zech. 4:4
And the angel that talked with me answered and said unto me, Knowest thou not what these are? And I said, No, my lord. Zech. 4:5
And he answered and spoke unto me, saying, This is the word of Jehovah unto Zerubbabel, saying, Not by might, nor by power, but by my Spirit, saith Jehovah of hosts. Zech. 4:6
Who art thou, O great mountain? before Zerubbabel thou dost become a plain; and he shall bring forth the head-stone with shoutings: Grace, grace unto it! Zech. 4:7
And the word of Jehovah came unto me, saying, Zech. 4:8
The hands of Zerubbabel have laid the foundation of this house; and his hands shall finish it: and thou shalt know that Jehovah of hosts hath sent me unto you. Zech. 4:9
For who hath despised the day of small things? Yea, they shall rejoice even those seven -- and shall see the plummet in the hand of Zerubbabel: these are the eyes of Jehovah, which run to and fro in the whole earth. Zech. 4:10
And I answered and said unto him, What are these two olive-trees on the right of the lamp-stand and on its left? Zech. 4:11
And I answered the second time and said unto him, What are the two olive-branches which are beside the two golden tubes that empty the gold out of themselves? Zech. 4:12
And he said, These are the two sons of oil, that stand before the Lord of the whole earth. Zech. 4:14
And he said unto me, What seest thou? And I said, I see a flying roll: the length thereof is twenty cubits, and the breadth thereof ten cubits. Zech. 5:2
And he said unto me, This is the curse that goeth forth over the face of the whole land: for every one that stealeth shall be cut off according to it on this side; and every one that sweareth shall be cut off according to it on that side. Zech. 5:3
I will cause it to go forth, saith Jehovah of hosts, and it shall enter into the house of the thief, and into the house of him that sweareth falsely by my name; and it shall lodge in the midst of his house, and shall consume it with the timber thereof and the stones thereof. Zech. 5:4
And the angel that talked with me went forth, and said unto me, Lift up now thine eyes, and see what is this that goeth forth. Zech. 5:5
And I said, What is it? And he said, This is the ephah that goeth forth. And he said, This is their resemblance in all the land. Zech. 5:6
And behold, there was lifted up a round plate of lead; and this is a woman that sitteth in the midst of the ephah. Zech. 5:7
And he said, This is Wickedness: and he cast her into the midst of the ephah; and he cast the weight of lead upon the mouth thereof. Zech. 5:8
And I lifted up mine eyes, and saw, and behold, there came out two women, and the wind was in their wings; and they had wings like the wings of a stork; and they lifted up the ephah between the earth and the heavens. Zech. 5:9
And I said to the angel that talked with me, Whither do these carry the ephah? Zech. 5:10
And he said unto me, To build it a house in the land of Shinar; and it shall be established, and set there upon its own base. Zech. 5:11
And I lifted up mine eyes again, and saw, and behold, there came four chariots out from between two mountains; and the mountains were mountains of brass. Zech. 6:1
In the first chariot were red horses; and in the second chariot black horses; Zech. 6:2
and in the third chariot white horses; and in the fourth chariot grisled, strong horses. Zech. 6:3
And I spoke and said unto the angel that talked with me, What are these, my lord? Zech. 6:4
And the angel answered and said unto me, These are the four spirits of the heavens, which go forth from standing before the Lord of all the earth. Zech. 6:5
That in which are the black horses goeth forth into the north country; and the white go forth after them; and the grisled go forth towards the south country; Zech. 6:6
and the strong go forth, and seek to go that they may walk to and fro through the earth. And he said, Go, walk to and fro through the earth. And they walked to and fro through the earth. Zech. 6:7
And he cried unto me, and spoke unto me, saying, See, these that go forth towards the north country have quieted my spirit in the north country. Zech. 6:8
And the word of Jehovah came unto me, saying, Zech. 6:9
Take gifts of them of the captivity, of Heldai, of Tobijah, and of Jedaiah, and come thou the same day, and enter into the house of Josiah the son of Zephaniah, whither they are come from Babylon; Zech. 6:10
yea, take silver and gold, and make crowns, and set them upon the head of Joshua the son of Jehozadak, the high priest; Zech. 6:11
and speak unto him, saying, Thus speaketh Jehovah of hosts, saying, Behold a man whose name is the Branch; and he shall grow up from his own place, and he shall build the temple of Jehovah: Zech. 6:12
even he shall build the temple of Jehovah; and he shall bear the glory, and shall sit and rule upon his throne; and he shall be a priest upon his throne; and the counsel of peace shall be between them both. Zech. 6:13
And the crowns shall be for Helem, and for Tobijah, and for Jedaiah, and for Hen the son of Zephaniah, for a memorial in the temple of Jehovah. Zech. 6:14
And they that are far off shall come and build at the temple of Jehovah: and ye shall know that Jehovah of hosts hath sent me unto you. And this shall come to pass, if ye will diligently hearken to the voice of Jehovah your God. Zech. 6:15
And it came to pass in the fourth year of king Darius, that the word of Jehovah came unto Zechariah on the fourth day of the ninth month, even in Chislev, Zech. 7:1
and to speak unto the priests that were in the house of Jehovah of hosts, and to the prophets, saying, Should I weep in the fifth month, separating myself, as I have done now so many years? Zech. 7:3
And the word of Jehovah of hosts came unto me, saying, Zech. 7:4
Speak unto all the people of the land, and to the priests, saying, When ye fasted and mourned in the fifth and in the seventh month, even those seventy years, did ye really fast unto me, even unto me? Zech. 7:5
Are not these the words that Jehovah cried by the former prophets, when Jerusalem was inhabited and at peace, and her cities round about her, when the south and the lowland were inhabited? Zech. 7:7
And the word of Jehovah came unto Zechariah, saying, Zech. 7:8
and oppress not the widow and the fatherless, the stranger and the afflicted; and let none of you imagine evil against his brother in your heart. Zech. 7:10
And they made their heart as an adamant, that they should not hear the law, and the words that Jehovah of hosts sent by his Spirit by the hand of the former prophets: therefore was there great wrath from Jehovah of hosts. Zech. 7:12
and I scattered them with a whirlwind among all the nations whom they knew not, and the land was desolate after them, so that no one passed through nor returned; and they laid the pleasant land desolate. Zech. 7:14
And the word of Jehovah of hosts came unto me, saying, Zech. 8:1
Thus saith Jehovah: I am returned unto Zion, and will dwell in the midst of Jerusalem; and Jerusalem shall be called, The city of truth; and the mountain of Jehovah of hosts, The holy mountain. Zech. 8:3
Thus saith Jehovah of hosts: There shall yet old men and old women sit in the streets of Jerusalem, each one with his staff in his hand for multitude of days. Zech. 8:4
And the streets of the city shall be full of boys and girls playing in the streets thereof. Zech. 8:5
Thus saith Jehovah of hosts: If it be wonderful in the eyes of the remnant of this people in those days, should it also be wonderful in mine eyes? saith Jehovah of hosts. Zech. 8:6
Thus saith Jehovah of hosts: Behold, I will save my people from the east country and from the west country; Zech. 8:7
and I will bring them, and they shall dwell in the midst of Jerusalem; and they shall be my people, and I will be their God, in truth and in righteousness. Zech. 8:8
Thus saith Jehovah of hosts: Let your hands be strong, ye that hear in these days these words by the mouth of the prophets, that were in the day that the foundation of the house of Jehovah of hosts was laid, that the temple might be built. Zech. 8:9
For before those days there was no hire for man, nor any hire for beast; and there was no peace for him that went out or that came in, because of the distress: for I let loose all men, every one against his neighbour. Zech. 8:10
But now I will not be unto the remnant of this people as in the former days, saith Jehovah of hosts; Zech. 8:11
for the seed shall be prosperous, the vine shall give its fruit, and the ground shall give its produce, and the heavens shall give their dew; and I will cause the remnant of this people to possess all these things. Zech. 8:12
And it shall come to pass, like as ye were a curse among the nations, O house of Judah and house of Israel, so will I save you, and ye shall be a blessing: fear ye not, let your hands be strong. Zech. 8:13
so again have I thought in these days to do good unto Jerusalem and to the house of Judah: fear ye not. Zech. 8:15
These are the things that ye shall do: Speak truth every one with his neighbour; execute truth and the judgment of peace in your gates; Zech. 8:16
And the word of Jehovah of hosts came unto me, saying, Zech. 8:18
Thus saith Jehovah of hosts: The fast of the fourth month and the fast of the fifth, and the fast of the seventh, and the fast of the tenth, shall be to the house of Judah joy and gladness, and cheerful gatherings. Love ye then truth and peace. Zech. 8:19
Thus saith Jehovah of hosts: Yet again shall there come peoples, and the inhabitants of many cities; Zech. 8:20
and the inhabitants of one city shall go to another, saying, Let us go speedily to supplicate Jehovah, and to seek Jehovah of hosts: I will go also. Zech. 8:21
Thus saith Jehovah of hosts: In those days shall ten men take hold, out of all languages of the nations, shall even take hold of the skirt of him that is a Jew, saying, We will go with you; for we have heard that God is with you. Zech. 8:23
The burden of the word of Jehovah, in the land of Hadrach, and on Damascus shall it rest; (for Jehovah hath an eye upon men, and upon all the tribes of Israel;) Zech. 9:1
And Tyre hath built herself a stronghold, and hath heaped up silver as the dust, and fine gold as the mire of the streets. Zech. 9:3
Behold, the Lord will take possession of her, and he will smite her power in the sea; and she shall be devoured with fire. Zech. 9:4
Ashkelon shall see it, and fear; Gazah also, and she shall be greatly pained; Ekron also, for her expectation shall be put to shame: and the king shall perish from Gazah, and Ashkelon shall not be inhabited. Zech. 9:5
And a bastard shall dwell in Ashdod, and I will cut off the pride of the Philistines; Zech. 9:6
And I will encamp about my house because of the army, because of those that pass by and that return; and the exactor shall not pass through them any more: for now have I seen it with mine eyes. Zech. 9:8
Rejoice greatly, daughter of Zion; shout, daughter of Jerusalem! Behold, thy King cometh to thee: he is just, and having salvation; lowly and rIding upon an ass, even upon a colt the foal of an ass. Zech. 9:9
And I will cut off the chariot from Ephraim, and the horse from Jerusalem; and the battle-bow shall be cut off. And he shall speak peace unto the nations; and his dominion shall be from sea to sea, and from the river to the ends of the earth. Zech. 9:10
As for thee also, by the blood of thy covenant, I will send forth thy prisoners out of the pit wherein is no water. Zech. 9:11
Turn again to the stronghold, prisoners of hope! even to-day do I declare I will render double unto thee. Zech. 9:12
For I have bent Judah for me, I have filled the bow with Ephraim; and I will raise up thy sons, O Zion, against thy sons, O Greece, and make thee like the sword of a mighty man. Zech. 9:13
And Jehovah shall be seen over them, and his arrow shall go forth as the lightning; and the Lord Jehovah will blow the trumpet, and will march with whirlwinds of the south. Zech. 9:14
Jehovah of hosts will defend them; and they shall devour, and shall tread down the sling-stones; and they shall drink, and make a noise as from wine; and they shall be filled like a bowl, like the corners of the altar. Zech. 9:15
And Jehovah their God shall save them in that day as the flock of his people; for they shall be as the stones of a crown, lifted up upon his land. Zech. 9:16
For how great is his goodness, and how great is his beauty! Corn shall make the young men flourish, and new wine the maidens. Zech. 9:17
Ask of Jehovah rain in the time of the latter rain; Jehovah will make lightnings, and he will give them showers of rain, to every one grass in the field. Zech. 10:1
For the teraphim have spoken vanity, and the diviners have seen a lie, and have told false dreams: they comfort in vain. Therefore they have gone away as a flock, they are in distress, because there is no shepherd. Zech. 10:2
Mine anger is kindled against the shepherds, and I will punish the he-goats; for Jehovah of hosts visiteth his flock, the house of Judah, and maketh them as his majestic horse in the battle. Zech. 10:3
From him shall come forth the corner-stone, from him the nail, from him the battle bow, from him every exactor together. Zech. 10:4
And they shall be as mighty men, treading down the mire of the streets in the battle; and they shall fight, for Jehovah is with them, and the riders on horses shall be put to shame. Zech. 10:5
And I will strengthen the house of Judah, and I will save the house of Joseph, and I will bring them back again; for I will have mercy upon them; and they shall be as though I had not cast them off: for I am Jehovah their God, and I will answer them. Zech. 10:6
And I will sow them among the peoples, and they shall remember me in far countries; and they shall live with their children and return. Zech. 10:9
And I will bring them again out of the land of Egypt, and gather them out of Assyria; and I will bring them into the land of Gilead and Lebanon; and place shall not be found for them. Zech. 10:10
And he shall pass through the sea of affliction, and shall smite the billows in the sea, and all the depths of the Nile shall dry up; and the pride of Assyria shall be brought down, and the sceptre of Egypt shall depart away. Zech. 10:11
Open thy doors, O Lebanon, that the fire may devour thy cedars. Zech. 11:1
Howl, cypress, for the cedar is fallen; because the noble ones are spoiled. Howl, ye oaks of Bashan; for the strong forest is come down. Zech. 11:2
A voice of howling of the shepherds; for their glory is spoiled: a voice of roaring of young lions; for the pride of Jordan is spoiled. Zech. 11:3
Thus saith Jehovah my God: Feed the flock of slaughter, Zech. 11:4
For I will no more pity the inhabitants of the land, saith Jehovah, and behold, I will deliver men, every one into his neighbour's hand, and into the hand of his king; and they shall smite the land, and I will not deliver out of their hand. Zech. 11:6
So I fed the flock of slaughter, truly the poor of the flock. And I took unto me two staves; the one I called Beauty, and the other I called Bands; and I fed the flock. Zech. 11:7
And I said, I will not feed you: that which dieth, let it die; and that which perisheth let it perish; and let them which are left eat every one the flesh of another. Zech. 11:9
And I took my staff, Beauty, and cut it asunder, that I might break my covenant which I had made with all the peoples. Zech. 11:10
And it was broken in that day; and so the poor of the flock that gave heed to me knew that it was the word of Jehovah. Zech. 11:11
And Jehovah said unto me, Cast it unto the potter: a goodly price that I was prized at by them. And I took the thirty silver-pieces, and cast them to the potter in the house of Jehovah. Zech. 11:13
And I cut asunder mine other staff, Bands, to break the brotherhood between Judah and Israel. Zech. 11:14
And Jehovah said unto me, Take unto thee yet the instruments of a foolish shepherd. Zech. 11:15
For behold, I will raise up a shepherd in the land, who shall not visit those that are about to perish, neither shall seek that which is strayed away, nor heal that which is wounded, nor feed that which is sound; but he will eat the flesh of the fat, and tear their hoofs in pieces. Zech. 11:16
Woe to the worthless shepherd that leaveth the flock! The sword shall be upon his arm, and upon his right eye; his arm shall be clean dried up, and his right eye utterly darkened. Zech. 11:17
The burden of the word of Jehovah concerning Israel. Thus saith Jehovah, who stretcheth out the heavens, and layeth the foundation of the earth, and formeth the spirit of man within him: Zech. 12:1
Behold, I will make Jerusalem a cup of bewilderment unto all the peoples round about, and also against Judah shall it be in the siege against Jerusalem. Zech. 12:2
And it shall come to pass in that day that I will make Jerusalem a burdensome stone unto all peoples: all that burden themselves with it shall certainly be wounded, and all the nations of the earth shall be assembled together against it. Zech. 12:3
In that day, saith Jehovah, I will smite every horse with astonishment, and his rider with madness; but I will open mine eyes upon the house of Judah, and will smite every horse of the peoples with blindness. Zech. 12:4
And the leaders of Judah shall say in their heart, The inhabitants of Jerusalem shall be my strength through Jehovah of hosts their God. Zech. 12:5
In that day will I make the leaders of Judah like a hearth of fire among wood, and like a torch of fire in a sheaf; and they shall devour all the peoples round about, on the right hand and on the left; and Jerusalem shall dwell again in her own place, in Jerusalem. Zech. 12:6
And Jehovah shall save the tents of Judah first, that the glory of the house of David and the glory of the inhabitants of Jerusalem be not magnified over Judah. Zech. 12:7
In that day will Jehovah defend the inhabitants of Jerusalem; and he that stumbleth among them at that day shall be as David; and the house of David as God, as the Angel of Jehovah before them. Zech. 12:8
And it shall come to pass in that day, that I will seek to destroy all the nations that come against Jerusalem. Zech. 12:9
And I will pour upon the house of David and upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem the spirit of grace and of supplications; and they shall look on me whom they pierced, and they shall mourn for him, as one mourneth for an only son, and shall be in bitterness for him, as one that is in bitterness for his firstborn. Zech. 12:10
In that day shall there be a great mourning in Jerusalem, as the mourning of Hadad-rimmon in the valley of Megiddon. Zech. 12:11
And the land shall mourn, every family apart: the family of the house of David apart, and their wives apart; the family of the house of Nathan apart, and their wives apart; Zech. 12:12
the family of the house of Levi apart, and their wives apart; the family of Shimei apart, and their wives apart; Zech. 12:13
all the families that remain, every family apart, and their wives apart. Zech. 12:14
In that day there shall be a fountain opened to the house of David and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem for sin and for uncleanness. Zech. 13:1
And it shall come to pass in that day, saith Jehovah of hosts, that I will cut off the names of the idols out of the land, and they shall no more be remembered; and also I will cause the prophets and the unclean spirit to pass out of the land. Zech. 13:2
And it shall come to pass, if any shall yet prophesy, that his father and his mother that begat him shall say unto him, Thou shalt not live; for thou speakest lies in the name of Jehovah; and his father and his mother that begat him shall thrust him through when he prophesieth. Zech. 13:3
And it shall come to pass in that day, that the prophets shall be ashamed every one of his vision, when he prophesieth; neither shall they wear a hairy mantle to deceive. Zech. 13:4
And he shall say, I am no prophet, I am a tiller of the ground; for man acquired me as bondman from my youth. Zech. 13:5
And one shall say unto him, What are those wounds in thy hands? And he will say, Those with which I was wounded in the house of my friends. Zech. 13:6
Awake, O sword, against my shepherd, even against the man that is my fellow, saith Jehovah of hosts: smite the shepherd, and the sheep shall be scattered, and I will turn my hand upon the little ones. Zech. 13:7
And it shall come to pass in all the land, saith Jehovah, two parts therein shall be cut off and die; but the third shall be left therein. Zech. 13:8
And I will bring the third part into the fire, and will refine them as silver is refined, and will try them as gold is tried. They shall call on my name, and I will answer them: I will say, It is my people; and they shall say, Jehovah is my God. Zech. 13:9
Behold, the day cometh for Jehovah, and thy spoil shall be divided in the midst of thee. Zech. 14:1
And I will assemble all the nations against Jerusalem to battle; and the city shall be taken, and the houses rifled, and the women ravished; and half of the city shall go forth into captivity; and the rest of the people shall not be cut off from the city. Zech. 14:2
And Jehovah will go forth and fight with those nations, as when he fought in the day of battle. Zech. 14:3
And his feet shall stand in that day upon the mount of Olives, which is before Jerusalem toward the east, and the mount of Olives shall cleave in the midst thereof toward the east and toward the west, -- a very great valley; and half of the mountain shall remove toward the north, and half of it toward the south. Zech. 14:4
And ye shall flee by the valley of my mountains; for the valley of the mountains shall reach unto Azal: ye shall even flee, like as ye fled from before the earthquake in the days of Uzziah king of Judah. And Jehovah my God shall come, and all the holy ones with thee. Zech. 14:5
And it shall come to pass in that day, that there shall not be light; the shining shall be obscured. Zech. 14:6
And it shall come to pass in that day that living waters shall go out from Jerusalem; half of them toward the eastern sea, and half of them toward the hinder sea: in summer and in winter shall it be. Zech. 14:8
And Jehovah shall be king over all the earth: in that day shall there be one Jehovah, and his name one. Zech. 14:9
All the land from Geba to Rimmon south of Jerusalem shall be turned as the Arabah; and Jerusalem shall be lifted up, and shall dwell in her own place, from Benjamin's gate unto the place of the first gate, unto the corner-gate, and from the tower of Hananeel unto the king's winepresses. Zech. 14:10
And this shall be the plague wherewith Jehovah will smite all the peoples that have warred against Jerusalem: their flesh shall consume away while they stand upon their feet, and their eyes shall consume away in their holes, and their tongue shall consume away in their mouth. Zech. 14:12
And it shall come to pass in that day that a great panic from Jehovah shall be among them; and they shall lay hold every one on the hand of his neighbour, and his hand shall rise up against the hand of his neighbour. Zech. 14:13
And Judah also shall fight at Jerusalem; and the wealth of all the nations round about shall be gathered together -- gold, and silver, and garments, in great abundance. Zech. 14:14
And so shall be the plague of the horse, of the mule, of the camel, and of the ass, and of all the beasts that shall be in those camps, as this plague. Zech. 14:15
And it shall come to pass, that all that are left of all the nations which came against Jerusalem shall go up from year to year to worship the King, Jehovah of hosts, and to celebrate the feast of tabernacles. Zech. 14:16
And it shall be, that whoso goeth not up of the families of the earth unto Jerusalem to worship the King, Jehovah of hosts, upon them shall be no rain. Zech. 14:17
And if the family of Egypt go not up, and come not, neither shall it be upon them; there shall be the plague, wherewith Jehovah will smite the nations that go not up to celebrate the feast of tabernacles. Zech. 14:18
This shall be the punishment of Egypt, and the punishment of all the nations that go not up to celebrate the feast of tabernacles. Zech. 14:19
In that day shall there be upon the bells of the horses, HOLINESS UNTO JEHOVAH; and the pots in Jehovah's house shall be like the bowls before the altar. Zech. 14:20
And every pot in Jerusalem and in Judah shall be holiness unto Jehovah of hosts; and all they that sacrifice shall come and take of them, and seethe therein. And in that day there shall be no more a Canaanite in the house of Jehovah of hosts. Zech. 14:21
* The burden of the word of Jehovah to Israel by Malachi. Mal. 1:1
and I hated Esau; and made his mountains a desolation, and gave his inheritance to the jackals of the wilderness. Mal. 1:3
If Edom say, We are broken down, but we will build again the ruined places, -- thus saith Jehovah of hosts: They shall build, but I will throw down; and men shall call them the territory of wickedness, and the people against whom Jehovah hath indignation for ever. Mal. 1:4
And your eyes shall see it, and ye shall say, Jehovah is magnified beyond the border of Israel. Mal. 1:5
Ye offer polluted bread upon mine altar; and ye say, Wherein have we polluted thee? In that ye say, The table of Jehovah is contemptible. Mal. 1:7
And if ye offer the blind for sacrifice, is it not evil? And if ye offer the lame and sick, is it not evil? Present it now unto thy governor: will he be pleased with thee? or will he accept thy person? saith Jehovah of hosts. Mal. 1:8
Who is there among you that would even shut the doors? and ye would not kindle fire on mine altar for nothing. I have no delight in you, saith Jehovah of hosts, neither will I accept an oblation at your hand. Mal. 1:10
For from the rising of the sun even unto its setting my name shall be great among the nations; and in every place incense shall be offered unto my name, and a pure oblation: for my name shall be great among the nations, saith Jehovah of hosts. Mal. 1:11
But ye profane it, in that ye say, The table of the Lord is polluted; and the fruit thereof, his food, is contemptible. Mal. 1:12
And ye say, Behold, what a weariness! And ye have puffed at it, saith Jehovah of hosts, and ye bring that which was torn, and the lame, and the sick; thus ye bring the oblation: should I accept this of your hand? saith Jehovah. Mal. 1:13
Yea, cursed be the deceiver, who hath in his flock a male, and voweth and sacrificeth unto the Lord a corrupt thing; for I am a great King, saith Jehovah of hosts, and my name is terrible among the nations. Mal. 1:14
If ye do not hear, and if ye do not lay it to heart, to give glory unto my name, saith Jehovah of hosts, I will even send the curse among you, and I will curse your blessings: yea, I have already cursed them, because ye do not lay it to heart. Mal. 2:2
Behold, I will rebuke your seed, and spread dung upon your faces, the dung of your feasts; and they shall take you away with it. Mal. 2:3
The law of truth was in his mouth, and unrighteousness was not found in his lips: he walked with me in peace and uprightness, and he turned many from iniquity. Mal. 2:6
For the priest's lips should keep knowledge, and at his mouth they seek the law; for he is the messenger of Jehovah of hosts. Mal. 2:7
But ye are departed out of the way; ye have caused many to stumble at the law; ye have corrupted the covenant of Levi, saith Jehovah of hosts. Mal. 2:8
And I also have made you contemptible and base before all the people, because ye have not kept my ways, but have respect of persons in administering the law. Mal. 2:9
Have we not all one father? Hath not one *God created us? Why do we deal unfaithfully every man against his brother, by profaning the covenant of our fathers? Mal. 2:10
Judah hath dealt unfaithfully, and an abomination is committed in Israel and in Jerusalem; for Judah hath profaned the sanctuary of Jehovah which he loved, and hath married the daughter of a strange *god. Mal. 2:11
Jehovah will cut off from the tents of Jacob the man that doeth this, him that calleth and him that answereth; and him that offereth an oblation unto Jehovah of hosts. Mal. 2:12
And further ye do this: ye cover the altar of Jehovah with tears, with weeping, and with sighing, insomuch that he regardeth not the oblation any more, nor receiveth it with satisfaction at your hand. Mal. 2:13
Yet ye say, Wherefore? Because Jehovah hath been a witness between thee and the wife of thy youth, against whom thou hast dealt unfaithfully: yet is she thy companion, and the wife of thy covenant. Mal. 2:14
And did not one make them? and the remnant of the Spirit was his. And wherefore the one? He sought a seed of God. Take heed then to your spirit, and let none deal unfaithfully against the wife of his youth, Mal. 2:15
(for I hate putting away, saith Jehovah the God of Israel;) and he covereth with violence his garment, saith Jehovah of hosts: take heed then to your spirit, that ye deal not unfaithfully. Mal. 2:16
Ye have wearied Jehovah with your words, and ye say, Wherein have we wearied him? In that ye say, Every one that doeth evil is good in the sight of Jehovah, and he delighteth in them; or, Where is the God of judgment? Mal. 2:17
Behold, I send my messenger, and he shall prepare the way before me; and the Lord whom ye seek will suddenly come to his temple, and the Angel of the covenant, whom ye delight in: behold, he cometh, saith Jehovah of hosts. Mal. 3:1
But who shall endure the day of his coming? and who shall stand when he appeareth? For he will be like a refiner's fire, and like fullers' lye. Mal. 3:2
And he shall sit as a refiner and purifier of silver; and he will purify the children of Levi, and purge them as gold and silver; and they shall offer unto Jehovah an oblation in righteousness. Mal. 3:3
Then shall the oblation of Judah and Jerusalem be pleasant unto Jehovah, as in the days of old, and as in former years. Mal. 3:4
And I will come near to you to judgment; and I will be a swift witness against the sorcerers, and against the adulterers, and against the false swearers, and against those that oppress the hired servant in his wages, the widow and the fatherless, and that turn aside the stranger from his right, and fear not me, saith Jehovah of hosts. Mal. 3:5
Since the days of your fathers have ye departed from my statutes, and have not kept them. Return unto me, and I will return unto you, saith Jehovah of hosts. But ye say, Wherein shall we return? Mal. 3:7
Bring the whole tithe into the treasure-house, that there may be food in my house, and prove me now herewith, saith Jehovah of hosts, if I open not to you the windows of the heavens, and pour you out a blessing, till there be no place for it. Mal. 3:10
And I will rebuke the devourer for your sakes, and he shall not destroy the fruits of your ground; neither shall your vine cast its fruit before the time in the field, saith Jehovah of hosts. Mal. 3:11
And now we hold the proud for happy; yea, they that work wickedness are built up; yea, they tempt God, and they escape. Mal. 3:15
And they shall be unto me a peculiar treasure, saith Jehovah of hosts, in the day that I prepare; and I will spare them as a man spareth his own son that serveth him. Mal. 3:17
And ye shall return and discern between the righteous and the wicked, between him that serveth God and him that serveth him not. Mal. 3:18
For behold, the day cometh, burning as a furnace; and all the proud and all that work wickedness shall be stubble; and the day that cometh shall burn them up, saith Jehovah of hosts, so that it shall leave them neither root nor branch. Mal. 4:1
And unto you that fear my name shall the Sun of righteousness arise with healing in his wings; and ye shall go forth and leap like fatted calves. Mal. 4:2
And ye shall tread down the wicked; for they shall be ashes under the soles of your feet in the day that I prepare, saith Jehovah of hosts. Mal. 4:3
Remember the law of Moses my servant, which I commanded unto him in Horeb for all Israel, the statutes and ordinances. Mal. 4:4
Behold, I send unto you Elijah the prophet, before the coming of the great and terrible day of Jehovah. Mal. 4:5
And he shall turn the heart of the fathers to the children, and the heart of the children to their fathers, lest I come and smite the earth with a curse. Mal. 4:6
Book of the generation of Jesus Christ, Son of David, Son of Abraham. Mt. 1:1
and Jesse begat David the king. And David begat Solomon, of her that had been the wife of Urias; Mt. 1:6
and Josias begat Jechonias and his brethren, at the time of the carrying away of Babylon. Mt. 1:11
And after the carrying away of Babylon, Jechonias begat Salathiel, and Salathiel begat Zorobabel, Mt. 1:12
and Jacob begat Joseph, the husband of Mary, of whom was born Jesus, who is called Christ. Mt. 1:16
All the generations, therefore, from Abraham to David were fourteen generations; and from David until the carrying away of Babylon, fourteen generations; and from the carrying away of Babylon unto the Christ, fourteen generations. Mt. 1:17
Now the birth of Jesus Christ was thus: His mother, Mary, that is, having been betrothed to Joseph, before they came together, she was found to be with child of the Holy Spirit. Mt. 1:18
but while he pondered on these things, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream, saying, Joseph, son of David, fear not to take to thee Mary, thy wife, for that which is begotten in her is of the Holy Spirit. Mt. 1:20
Now all this came to pass that that might be fulfilled which was spoken by the Lord, through the prophet, saying, Mt. 1:22
Behold, the virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which is, being interpreted, 'God with us.' Mt. 1:23
But Joseph, having awoke up from his sleep, did as the angel of the Lord had enjoined him, and took to him his wife, Mt. 1:24
Now Jesus having been born in Bethlehem of Judaea, in the days of Herod the king, behold magi from the east arrived at Jerusalem, Mt. 2:1
saying, where is the king of the Jews that has been born? for we have seen his star in the east, and have come to do him homage. Mt. 2:2
But Herod the king having heard of it, was troubled, and all Jerusalem with him; Mt. 2:3
and, assembling all the chief priests and scribes of the people, he inquired of them where the Christ should be born. Mt. 2:4
And they said to him, In Bethlehem of Judaea; for thus it is written through the prophet: Mt. 2:5
And *thou* Bethlehem, land of Juda, art in no wise the least among the governors of Juda; for out of thee shall go forth a leader who shall shepherd my people Israel. Mt. 2:6
Then Herod, having secretly called the magi, inquired of them accurately the time of the star that was appearing; Mt. 2:7
and having sent them to Bethlehem, said, Go, search out accurately concerning the child, and when ye shall have found him bring me back word, so that *I* also may come and do him homage. Mt. 2:8
And they having heard the king went their way; and lo, the star, which they had seen in the east, went before them until it came and stood over the place where the little child was. Mt. 2:9
And when they saw the star they rejoiced with exceeding great joy. Mt. 2:10
And having come into the house they saw the little child with Mary his mother, and falling down did him homage. And having opened their treasures, they offered to him gifts, gold, and frankincense, and myrrh. Mt. 2:11
Now, they having departed, behold, an angel of the Lord appears in a dream to Joseph, saying, Arise, take to thee the little child and his mother, and flee into Egypt, and be there until I shall tell thee; for Herod will seek the little child to destroy it. Mt. 2:13
And, having arisen, he took to him the little child and his mother by night, and departed into Egypt. Mt. 2:14
And he was there until the death of Herod, that that might be fulfilled which was spoken by the Lord through the prophet, saying, Out of Egypt have I called my son. Mt. 2:15
Then Herod, seeing that he had been mocked by the magi, was greatly enraged; and sent and slew all the boys which were in Bethlehem, and in all its borders, from two years and under, according to the time which he had accurately inquired from the magi. Mt. 2:16
Then was fulfilled that which was spoken through Jeremias the prophet, saying, Mt. 2:17
But Herod having died, behold, an angel of the Lord appears in a dream to Joseph in Egypt, Mt. 2:19
saying, arise, take to thee the little child and its mother, and go into the land of Israel: for they who sought the life of the little child are dead. Mt. 2:20
And he arose and took to him the little child and its mother, and came into the land of Israel; Mt. 2:21
but having heard that 'Archelaus reigns over Judaea, instead of Herod his father,' he was afraid to go there; and having been divinely instructed in a dream, he went away into the parts of Galilee, Mt. 2:22
and came and dwelt in a town called Nazareth; so that that should be fulfilled which was spoken through the prophets, He shall be called a Nazaraean. Mt. 2:23
Now in those days comes John the baptist, preaching in the wilderness of Judaea, Mt. 3:1
and saying, Repent, for the kingdom of the heavens has drawn nigh. Mt. 3:2
For this is he who has been spoken of through Esaias the prophet, saying, Voice of him that crieth in the wilderness: prepare ye the way of the Lord, make straight his paths. Mt. 3:3
Then went out to him Jerusalem, and all Judaea, and all the country round the Jordan, Mt. 3:5
and were baptised by him in the Jordan, confessing their sins. Mt. 3:6
But seeing many of the Pharisees and Sadducees coming to his baptism, he said to them, Offspring of vipers, who has forewarned you to flee from the coming wrath? Mt. 3:7
And already the axe is applied to the root of the trees; every tree therefore not producing good fruit is cut down and cast into the fire. Mt. 3:10
*I* indeed baptise you with water to repentance, but he that comes after me is mightier than I, whose sandals I am not fit to bear; *he* shall baptise you with the Holy Spirit and fire; Mt. 3:11
whose winnowing fan is in his hand, and he shall thoroughly purge his threshing-floor, and shall gather his wheat into the garner, but the chaff he will burn with fire unquenchable. Mt. 3:12
Then comes Jesus from Galilee to the Jordan to John, to be baptised of him; Mt. 3:13
And Jesus, having been baptised, went up straightway from the water, and lo, the heavens were opened to him, and he saw the Spirit of God descending as a dove, and coming upon him: Mt. 3:16
and behold, a voice out of the heavens saying, This is my beloved Son, in whom I have found my delight. Mt. 3:17
Then Jesus was carried up into the wilderness by the Spirit to be tempted of the devil: Mt. 4:1
And the tempter coming up to him said, If thou be Son of God, speak, that these stones may become loaves of bread. Mt. 4:3
Then the devil takes him to the holy city, and sets him upon the edge of the temple, Mt. 4:5
Jesus said to him, It is again written, Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God. Mt. 4:7
Again the devil takes him to a very high mountain, and shews him all the kingdoms of the world, and their glory, Mt. 4:8
Then says Jesus to him, Get thee away, Satan, for it is written, Thou shalt do homage to the Lord thy God, and him alone shalt thou serve. Mt. 4:10
Then the devil leaves him, and behold, angels came and ministered to him. Mt. 4:11
and having left Nazareth, he went and dwelt at Capernaum, which is on the sea-side in the borders of Zabulon and Nepthalim, Mt. 4:13
that that might be fulfilled which was spoken through Esaias the prophet, saying, Mt. 4:14
Land of Zabulon and land of Nepthalim, way of the sea beyond the Jordan, Galilee of the nations: Mt. 4:15
-- the people sitting in darkness has seen a great light, and to those sitting in the country and shadow of death, to them has light sprung up. Mt. 4:16
From that time began Jesus to preach and to say, Repent, for the kingdom of the heavens has drawn nigh. Mt. 4:17
And walking by the sea of Galilee, he saw two brothers, Simon called Peter, and Andrew his brother, casting a net into the sea, for they were fishers; Mt. 4:18
And going on thence he saw other two brothers, James the son of Zebedee and John his brother, in the ship with Zebedee their father, mending their trawl-nets, and he called them; Mt. 4:21
and they, having left the ship and their father, immediately followed him. Mt. 4:22
And Jesus went round the whole of Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the glad tidings of the kingdom, and healing every disease and every bodily weakness among the people. Mt. 4:23
And his fame went out into the whole of Syria, and they brought to him all that were ill, suffering under various diseases and pains, and those possessed by demons, and lunatics, and paralytics; and he healed them. Mt. 4:24
And great crowds followed him from Galilee, and Decapolis, and Jerusalem, and Judaea, and beyond the Jordan. Mt. 4:25
But seeing the crowds, he went up into the mountain, and having sat down, his disciples came to him; Mt. 5:1
Blessed are the poor in spirit, for *theirs* is the kingdom of the heavens. Mt. 5:3
Blessed the meek, for *they* shall inherit the earth. Mt. 5:5
Blessed the merciful, for *they* shall find mercy. Mt. 5:7
Blessed the pure in heart, for *they* shall see God. Mt. 5:8
Blessed the peace-makers, for *they* shall be called sons of God. Mt. 5:9
Blessed they who are persecuted on account of righteousness, for *theirs* is the kingdom of the heavens. Mt. 5:10
Rejoice and exult, for your reward is great in the heavens; for thus have they persecuted the prophets who were before you. Mt. 5:12
*Ye* are the salt of the earth; but if the salt have become insipid, wherewith shall it be salted? It is no longer fit for anything but to be cast out and to be trodden under foot by men. Mt. 5:13
*Ye* are the light of the world: a city situated on the top of a mountain cannot be hid. Mt. 5:14
Nor do men light a lamp and put it under the bushel, but upon the lamp-stand, and it shines for all who are in the house. Mt. 5:15
Let your light thus shine before men, so that they may see your upright works, and glorify your Father who is in the heavens. Mt. 5:16
Think not that I am come to make void the law or the prophets; I am not come to make void, but to fulfil. Mt. 5:17
For verily I say unto you, Until the heaven and the earth pass away, one iota or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law till all come to pass. Mt. 5:18
Whosoever then shall do away with one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, shall be called least in the kingdom of the heavens; but whosoever shall practise and teach them, *he* shall be called great in the kingdom of the heavens. Mt. 5:19
For I say unto you, that unless your righteousness surpass that of the scribes and Pharisees, ye shall in no wise enter into the kingdom of the heavens. Mt. 5:20
Ye have heard that it was said to the ancients, Thou shalt not kill; but whosoever shall kill shall be subject to the judgment. Mt. 5:21
But *I* say unto you, that every one that is lightly angry with his brother shall be subject to the judgment; but whosoever shall say to his brother, Raca, shall be subject to be called before the sanhedrim; but whosoever shall say, Fool, shall be subject to the penalty of the hell of fire. Mt. 5:22
If therefore thou shouldest offer thy gift at the altar, and there shouldest remember that thy brother has something against thee, Mt. 5:23
leave there thy gift before the altar, and first go, be reconciled to thy brother, and then come and offer thy gift. Mt. 5:24
Make friends with thine adverse party quickly, whilst thou art in the way with him; lest some time the adverse party deliver thee to the judge, and the judge deliver thee to the officer, and thou be cast into prison. Mt. 5:25
Verily I say to thee, Thou shalt in no wise come out thence till thou hast paid the last farthing. Mt. 5:26
Again, ye have heard that it has been said to the ancients, Thou shalt not forswear thyself, but shalt render to the Lord what thou hast sworn. Mt. 5:33
But *I* say unto you, Do not swear at all; neither by the heaven, because it is the throne of God; Mt. 5:34
nor by the earth, because it is the footstool of his feet; nor by Jerusalem, because it is the city of the great King. Mt. 5:35
But *I* say unto you, not to resist evil; but whoever shall strike thee on thy right cheek, turn to him also the other; Mt. 5:39
that ye may be the sons of your Father who is in the heavens; for he makes his sun rise on evil and good, and sends rain on just and unjust. Mt. 5:45
For if ye should love those who love you, what reward have ye? Do not also the tax-gatherers the same? Mt. 5:46
And if ye should salute your brethren only, what do ye extraordinary? Do not also the Gentiles the same? Mt. 5:47
Take heed not to do your alms before men to be seen of them, otherwise ye have no reward with your Father who is in the heavens. Mt. 6:1
When therefore thou doest alms, sound not a trumpet before thee, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, so that they may have glory from men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward. Mt. 6:2
And when thou prayest, thou shalt not be as the hypocrites; for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and in the corners of the streets so that they should appear to men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward. Mt. 6:5
But when ye pray, use not vain repetitions, as those who are of the nations: for they think they shall be heard through their much speaking. Mt. 6:7
Thus therefore pray *ye*: Our Father who art in the heavens, let thy name be sanctified, Mt. 6:9
let thy kingdom come, let thy will be done as in heaven so upon the earth; Mt. 6:10
And when ye fast, be not as the hypocrites, downcast in countenance; for they disfigure their faces, so that they may appear fasting to men: verily I say unto you, They have their reward. Mt. 6:16
Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon the earth, where moth and rust spoils, and where thieves dig through and steal; Mt. 6:19
The lamp of the body is the eye; if therefore thine eye be single, thy whole body will be light: Mt. 6:22
but if thine eye be wicked, thy whole body will be dark. If therefore the light that is in thee be darkness, how great the darkness! Mt. 6:23
No one can serve two masters; for either he will hate the one and will love the other, or he will hold to the one and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon. Mt. 6:24
For this cause I say unto you, Do not be careful about your life, what ye should eat and what ye should drink; nor for your body what ye should put on. Is not the life more than food, and the body than raiment? Mt. 6:25
Look at the birds of the heaven, that they sow not, nor reap, nor gather into granaries, and your heavenly Father nourishes them. Are *ye* not much more excellent than they? Mt. 6:26
And why are ye careful about clothing? Observe with attention the lilies of the field, how they grow: they toil not, neither do they spin; Mt. 6:28
But if God so clothe the herbage of the field, which is to-day, and to-morrow is cast into the oven, will he not much rather you, O ye of little faith? Mt. 6:30
for all these things the nations seek after; for your heavenly Father knows that ye have need of all these things. Mt. 6:32
But seek ye first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things shall be added unto you. Mt. 6:33
Be not careful therefore for the morrow, for the morrow shall be careful about itself. Sufficient to the day is its own evil. Mt. 6:34
But why lookest thou on the mote that is in the eye of thy brother, but observest not the beam that is in thine eye? Mt. 7:3
Or how wilt thou say to thy brother, Allow me, I will cast out the mote from thine eye; and behold, the beam is in thine eye? Mt. 7:4
Hypocrite, cast out first the beam out of thine eye, and then thou wilt see clearly to cast out the mote out of the eye of thy brother. Mt. 7:5
Give not that which is holy to the dogs, nor cast your pearls before the swine, lest they trample them with their feet, and turning round rend you. Mt. 7:6
If therefore *ye*, being wicked, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much rather shall your Father who is in the heavens give good things to them that ask of him? Mt. 7:11
Therefore all things whatever ye desire that men should do to you, thus do *ye* also do to them; for this is the law and the prophets. Mt. 7:12
Enter in through the narrow gate, for wide the gate and broad the way that leads to destruction, and many are they who enter in through it. Mt. 7:13
For narrow the gate and straitened the way that leads to life, and they are few who find it. Mt. 7:14
So every good tree produces good fruits, but the worthless tree produces bad fruits. Mt. 7:17
Every tree not producing good fruit is cut down and cast into the fire. Mt. 7:19
Not every one who says to me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of the heavens, but he that does the will of my Father who is in the heavens. Mt. 7:21
Whoever therefore hears these my words and does them, I will liken him to a prudent man, who built his house upon the rock; Mt. 7:24
and the rain came down, and the streams came, and the winds blew and fell upon that house, and it did not fall, for it had been founded upon the rock. Mt. 7:25
And every one who hears these my words and does not do them, he shall be likened to a foolish man, who built his house upon the sand; Mt. 7:26
and the rain came down, and the streams came, and the winds blew and beat upon that house, and it fell, and its fall was great. Mt. 7:27
And it came to pass, when Jesus had finished these words, the crowds were astonished at his doctrine, Mt. 7:28
And when he had come down from the mountain, great crowds followed him. Mt. 8:1
And Jesus says to him, See thou tell no man, but go, shew thyself to the priest, and offer the gift which Moses ordained, for a testimony to them. Mt. 8:4
and saying, Lord, my servant lies paralytic in the house, suffering grievously. Mt. 8:6
And the centurion answered and said, Lord, I am not fit that thou shouldest enter under my roof; but only speak a word, and my servant shall be healed. Mt. 8:8
But I say unto you, that many shall come from the rising and setting sun, and shall lie down at table with Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob in the kingdom of the heavens; Mt. 8:11
but the sons of the kingdom shall be cast out into the outer darkness: there shall be the weeping and the gnashing of teeth. Mt. 8:12
And Jesus said to the centurion, Go, and as thou hast believed, be it to thee. And his servant was healed in that hour. Mt. 8:13
and he touched her hand, and the fever left her, and she arose and served him. Mt. 8:15
And when the evening was come, they brought to him many possessed by demons, and he cast out the spirits with a word, and healed all that were ill; Mt. 8:16
so that that should be fulfilled which was spoken through Esaias the prophet, saying, Himself took our infirmities and bore our diseases. Mt. 8:17
And Jesus, seeing great crowds around him, commanded to depart to the other side. Mt. 8:18
And Jesus says to him, The foxes have holes, and the birds of the heaven roosting-places; but the Son of man has not where he may lay his head. Mt. 8:20
But Jesus said to him, Follow me, and leave the dead to bury their own dead. Mt. 8:22
and behold, the water became very agitated on the sea, so that the ship was covered by the waves; but *he* slept. Mt. 8:24
And the disciples came and awoke him, saying, Lord save: we perish. Mt. 8:25
And he says to them, Why are ye fearful, O ye of little faith? Then, having arisen, he rebuked the winds and the sea, and there was a great calm. Mt. 8:26
But the men were astonished, saying, What sort of man is this, that even the winds and the sea obey him? Mt. 8:27
And there met him, when he came to the other side, to the country of the Gergesenes, two possessed by demons, coming out of the tombs, exceeding dangerous, so that no one was able to pass by that way. Mt. 8:28
And behold, they cried out, saying, What have we to do with thee, Son of God? hast thou come here before the time to torment us? Mt. 8:29
and the demons besought him, saying, If thou cast us out, send us away into the herd of swine. Mt. 8:31
And he said to them, Go. And they, going out, departed into the herd of swine; and lo, the whole herd of swine rushed down the steep slope into the sea, and died in the waters. Mt. 8:32
But they that fed them fled, and went away into the city and related everything, and what had happened as to those possessed by demons. Mt. 8:33
And behold, the whole city went out to meet Jesus; and when they saw him, they begged him to go away out of their coasts. Mt. 8:34
And going on board the ship, he passed over and came to his own city. Mt. 9:1
And behold, they brought to him a paralytic, laid upon a bed; and Jesus, seeing their faith, said to the paralytic, Be of good courage, child; thy sins are forgiven. Mt. 9:2
And behold, certain of the scribes said to themselves, This man blasphemes. Mt. 9:3
But that ye may know that the Son of man has power on earth to forgive sins, (then he says to the paralytic,) Rise up, take up thy bed and go to thy house. Mt. 9:6
But the crowds seeing it, were in fear, and glorified God who gave such power to men. Mt. 9:8
And Jesus, passing on thence, saw a man sitting at the tax-office, called Matthew, and says to him, Follow me. And he rose up and followed him. Mt. 9:9
And it came to pass, as he lay at table in the house, that behold, many tax-gatherers and sinners came and lay at table with Jesus and his disciples. Mt. 9:10
And the Pharisees seeing it, said to his disciples, Why does your teacher eat with tax-gatherers and sinners? Mt. 9:11
Then come to him the disciples of John, saying, Why do we and the Pharisees often fast, but thy disciples fast not? Mt. 9:14
And Jesus said to them, Can the sons of the bridechamber mourn so long as the bridegroom is with them? But days will come when the bridegroom will have been taken away from them, and then they will fast. Mt. 9:15
But no one puts a patch of new cloth on an old garment, for its filling up takes from the garment and a worse rent takes place. Mt. 9:16
Nor do men put new wine into old skins, otherwise the skins burst and the wine is poured out, and the skins will be destroyed; but they put new wine into new skins, and both are preserved together. Mt. 9:17
And behold, a woman, who had had a bloody flux for twelve years, came behind and touched the hem of his garment; Mt. 9:20
But Jesus turning and seeing her, said, Be of good courage, daughter; thy faith has healed thee. And the woman was healed from that hour. Mt. 9:22
And when Jesus was come to the house of the ruler, and saw the flute-players and the crowd making a tumult, Mt. 9:23
he said, Withdraw, for the damsel is not dead, but sleeps. And they derided him. Mt. 9:24
But when the crowd had been put out, he went in and took her hand; and the damsel rose up. Mt. 9:25
And the fame of it went out into all that land. Mt. 9:26
And when he was come to the house, the blind men came to him. And Jesus says to them, Do ye believe that I am able to do this? They say to him, Yea, Lord. Mt. 9:28
And the demon having been cast out, the dumb spake. And the crowds were astonished, saying, It has never been seen thus in Israel. Mt. 9:33
But the Pharisees said, He casts out the demons through the prince of the demons. Mt. 9:34
And Jesus went round all the cities and the villages, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the glad tidings of the kingdom, and healing every disease and every bodily weakness. Mt. 9:35
But when he saw the crowds he was moved with compassion for them, because they were harassed, and cast away as sheep not having a shepherd. Mt. 9:36
Then saith he to his disciples, The harvest is great and the workmen are few; Mt. 9:37
supplicate therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he send forth workmen unto his harvest. Mt. 9:38
Now the names of the twelve apostles are these: first, Simon, who was called Peter, and Andrew his brother; James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother; Mt. 10:2
Philip and Bartholomew; Thomas, and Matthew the tax-gatherer; James the son of Alphaeus, and Lebbaeus, who was surnamed Thaddaeus; Mt. 10:3
Simon the Cananaean, and Judas the Iscariote, who also delivered him up. Mt. 10:4
These twelve Jesus sent out when he had charged them, saying, Go not off into the way of the nations, and into a city of Samaritans enter ye not; Mt. 10:5
but go rather to the lost sheep of the house of Israel. Mt. 10:6
And as ye go, preach, saying, The kingdom of the heavens has drawn nigh. Mt. 10:7
Heal the infirm, raise the dead, cleanse lepers, cast out demons: ye have received gratuitously, give gratuitously. Mt. 10:8
nor scrip for the way, nor two body coats, nor sandals, nor a staff: for the workman is worthy of his nourishment. Mt. 10:10
And if the house indeed be worthy, let your peace come upon it; but if it be not worthy, let your peace return to you. Mt. 10:13
And whosoever shall not receive you, nor hear your words, as ye go forth out of that house or city, shake off the dust of your feet. Mt. 10:14
Verily I say unto you, It shall be more tolerable for the land of Sodom and Gomorrha in judgment-day than for that city. Mt. 10:15
Behold, *I* send you as sheep in the midst of wolves; be therefore prudent as the serpents, and guileless as the doves. Mt. 10:16
and ye shall be brought before rulers and kings for my sake, for a testimony to them and to the nations. Mt. 10:18
For *ye* are not the speakers, but the Spirit of your Father which speaks in you. Mt. 10:20
and ye shall be hated of all on account of my name. But he that has endured to the end, *he* shall be saved. Mt. 10:22
But when they persecute you in this city, flee to the other; for verily I say to you, Ye shall not have completed the cities of Israel until the Son of man be come. Mt. 10:23
The disciple is not above his teacher, nor the bondman above his lord. Mt. 10:24
It is sufficient for the disciple that he should become as his teacher, and the bondman as his lord. If they have called the master of the house Beelzebub, how much more those of his household? Mt. 10:25
What I say to you in darkness speak in the light, and what ye hear in the ear preach upon the houses. Mt. 10:27
And be not afraid of those who kill the body, but cannot kill the soul; but fear rather him who is able to destroy both soul and body in hell. Mt. 10:28
Are not two sparrows sold for a farthing? and one of them shall not fall to the ground without your Father; Mt. 10:29
but of you even the hairs of the head are all numbered. Mt. 10:30
Every one therefore who shall confess me before men, *I* also will confess him before my Father who is in the heavens. Mt. 10:32
But whosoever shall deny me before men, him will *I* also deny before my Father who is in the heavens. Mt. 10:33
Do not think that I have come to send peace upon the earth: I have not come to send peace, but a sword. Mt. 10:34
For I have come to set a man at variance with his father, and the daughter with her mother, and the daughter-in-law with her mother-in-law; Mt. 10:35
He that receives a prophet in the name of a prophet, shall receive a prophet's reward; and he that receives a righteous man in the name of a righteous man, shall receive a righteous man's reward. Mt. 10:41
And whosoever shall give to drink to one of these little ones a cup of cold water only, in the name of a disciple, verily I say unto you, he shall in no wise lose his reward. Mt. 10:42
But John, having heard in the prison the works of the Christ, sent by his disciples, Mt. 11:2
and said to him, Art *thou* the coming one? or are we to wait for another? Mt. 11:3
But as they went away, Jesus began to say to the crowds concerning John, What went ye out into the wilderness to see? a reed moved about by the wind? Mt. 11:7
But what went ye out to see? a man clothed in delicate raiment? behold, those who wear delicate things are in the houses of kings. Mt. 11:8
Verily I say to you, that there is not arisen among the born of women a greater than John the baptist. But he who is a little one in the kingdom of the heavens is greater than he. Mt. 11:11
But from the days of John the baptist until now, the kingdom of the heavens is taken by violence, and the violent seize on it. Mt. 11:12
For all the prophets and the law have prophesied unto John. Mt. 11:13
But to whom shall I liken this generation? It is like children sitting in the markets, which, calling to their companions, Mt. 11:16
The Son of man has come eating and drinking, and they say, Behold, a man that is eating and wine-drinking, a friend of tax-gatherers, and of sinners: -- and wisdom has been justified by her children. Mt. 11:19
Then began he to reproach the cities in which most of his works of power had taken place, because they had not repented. Mt. 11:20
Woe to thee, Chorazin! woe to thee Bethsaida! for if the works of power which have taken place in you, had taken place in Tyre and Sidon, they had long ago repented in sackcloth and ashes. Mt. 11:21
And *thou*, Capernaum, who hast been raised up to heaven, shalt be brought down even to hades. For if the works of power which have taken place in thee, had taken place in Sodom, it had remained until this day. Mt. 11:23
But I say to you, that it shall be more tolerable for the land of Sodom in judgment-day than for thee. Mt. 11:24
At that time, Jesus answering said, I praise thee, Father, Lord of the heaven and of the earth, that thou hast hid these things from the wise and prudent, and hast revealed them to babes. Mt. 11:25
All things have been delivered to me by my Father, and no one knows the Son but the Father, nor does any one know the Father, but the Son, and he to whom the Son may be pleased to reveal him. Mt. 11:27
At that time Jesus went on the sabbath through the cornfields; and his disciples were hungry, and began to pluck the ears and to eat. Mt. 12:1
But the Pharisees, seeing it, said to him, Behold, thy disciples are doing what is not lawful to do on sabbath. Mt. 12:2
How he entered into the house of God, and ate the shewbread, which it was not lawful for him to eat, nor for those with him, but for the priests only? Mt. 12:4
Or have ye not read in the law that on the sabbaths the priests in the temple profane the sabbath, and are blameless? Mt. 12:5
But I say unto you, that there is here what is greater than the temple. Mt. 12:6
But if ye had known what is: I will have mercy and not sacrifice, ye would not have condemned the guiltless. Mt. 12:7
For the Son of man is Lord of the sabbath. Mt. 12:8
And behold, there was a man having his hand withered. And they asked him, saying, Is it lawful to heal on the sabbath? that they might accuse him. Mt. 12:10
But he said to them, What man shall there be of you who has one sheep, and if this fall into a pit on the sabbath, will not lay hold of it and raise it up? Mt. 12:11
How much better then is a man than a sheep! So that it is lawful to do well on the sabbath. Mt. 12:12
Then he says to the man, Stretch out thy hand. And he stretched it out, and it was restored sound as the other. Mt. 12:13
But the Pharisees, having gone out, took counsel against him, how they might destroy him. Mt. 12:14
that that might be fulfilled which was spoken through Esaias the prophet, saying, Mt. 12:17
Behold my servant, whom I have chosen, my beloved, in whom my soul has found its delight. I will put my Spirit upon him, and he shall shew forth judgment to the nations. Mt. 12:18
He shall not strive or cry out, nor shall any one hear his voice in the streets; Mt. 12:19
and on his name shall the nations hope. Mt. 12:21
Then was brought to him one possessed by a demon, blind and dumb, and he healed him, so that the dumb man spake and saw. Mt. 12:22
And all the crowds were amazed and said, Is this man the Son of David? Mt. 12:23
But the Pharisees, having heard it, said, This man does not cast out demons, but by Beelzebub, prince of demons. Mt. 12:24
But if *I* by the Spirit of God cast out demons, then indeed the kingdom of God is come upon you. Mt. 12:28
Or how can any one enter into the house of the strong man and plunder his goods, unless first he bind the strong man? and then he will plunder his house. Mt. 12:29
For this reason I say unto you, Every sin and injurious speaking shall be forgiven to men, but speaking injuriously of the Spirit shall not be forgiven to men. Mt. 12:31
And whosoever shall have spoken a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him; but whosoever shall speak against the Holy Spirit, it shall not be forgiven him, neither in this age nor in the coming one. Mt. 12:32
Either make the tree good, and its fruit good; or make the tree corrupt, and its fruit corrupt. For from the fruit the tree is known. Mt. 12:33
Offspring of vipers! how can ye speak good things, being wicked? For of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks. Mt. 12:34
The good man out of the good treasure brings forth good things; and the wicked man out of the wicked treasure brings forth wicked things. Mt. 12:35
Then answered him some of the scribes and Pharisees, saying, Teacher, we desire to see a sign from thee. Mt. 12:38
But he, answering, said to them, A wicked and adulterous generation seeks after a sign, and a sign shall not be given to it save the sign of Jonas the prophet. Mt. 12:39
For even as Jonas was in the belly of the great fish three days and three nights, thus shall the Son of man be in the heart of the earth three days and three nights. Mt. 12:40
Ninevites shall stand up in the judgment with this generation, and shall condemn it: for they repented at the preaching of Jonas; and behold, more than Jonas is here. Mt. 12:41
A queen of the south shall rise up in the judgment with this generation, and shall condemn it; for she came from the ends of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon; and behold, more than Solomon is here. Mt. 12:42
But when the unclean spirit has gone out of the man, he goes through dry places, seeking rest, and does not find it. Mt. 12:43
Then he goes and takes with himself seven other spirits worse than himself, and entering in, they dwell there; and the last condition of that man becomes worse than the first. Thus shall it be to this wicked generation also. Mt. 12:45
But while he was yet speaking to the crowds, behold, his mother and his brethren stood without, seeking to speak to him. Mt. 12:46
for whosoever shall do the will of my Father who is in the heavens, he is my brother, and sister, and mother. Mt. 12:50
And that same day Jesus went out from the house and sat down by the sea. Mt. 13:1
And great crowds were gathered together to him, so that going on board ship himself he sat down, and the whole crowd stood on the shore. Mt. 13:2
And he spoke to them many things in parables, saying, Behold, the sower went out to sow: Mt. 13:3
and as he sowed, some grains fell along the way, and the birds came and devoured them; Mt. 13:4
and others fell upon the rocky places where they had not much earth, and immediately they sprang up out of the ground because of not having any depth of earth, Mt. 13:5
but when the sun rose they were burned up, and because of not having any root were dried up; Mt. 13:6
and others fell upon the thorns, and the thorns grew up and choked them; Mt. 13:7
and others fell upon the good ground, and produced fruit, one a hundred, one sixty, and one thirty. Mt. 13:8
And the disciples came up and said to him, Why speakest thou to them in parables? Mt. 13:10
And he answering said to them, Because to you it is given to know the mysteries of the kingdom of the heavens, but to them it is not given; Mt. 13:11
and in them is filled up the prophecy of Esaias, which says, Hearing ye shall hear and shall not understand, and beholding ye shall behold and not see; Mt. 13:14
for the heart of this people has grown fat, and they have heard heavily with their ears, and they have closed their eyes as asleep, lest they should see with the eyes, and hear with the ears, and understand with the heart, and should be converted, and I should heal them. Mt. 13:15
for verily I say unto you, that many prophets and righteous men have desired to see the things which ye behold and did not see them, and to hear the things which ye hear and did not hear them. Mt. 13:17
*Ye*, therefore, hear the parable of the sower. Mt. 13:18
From every one who hears the word of the kingdom and does not understand it, the wicked one comes and catches away what was sown in his heart: this is he that is sown by the wayside. Mt. 13:19
But he that is sown on the rocky places -- this is he who hears the word and immediately receives it with joy, Mt. 13:20
but has no root in himself, but is for a time only; and when tribulation or persecution happens on account of the word, he is immediately offended. Mt. 13:21
And he that is sown among the thorns -- this is he who hears the word, and the anxious care of this life, and the deceit of riches choke the word, and he becomes unfruitful. Mt. 13:22
But he that is sown upon the good ground -- this is he who hears and understands the word, who bears fruit also, and produces, one a hundred, one sixty, and one thirty. Mt. 13:23
Another parable set he before them, saying, The kingdom of the heavens has become like a man sowing good seed in his field; Mt. 13:24
but while men slept, his enemy came and sowed darnel amongst the wheat, and went away. Mt. 13:25
But when the blade shot up and produced fruit, then appeared the darnel also. Mt. 13:26
And the bondmen of the householder came up and said to him, Sir, hast thou not sown good seed in thy field? whence then has it darnel? Mt. 13:27
And he said to them, A man that is an enemy has done this. And the bondmen said to him, Wilt thou then that we should go and gather it up? Mt. 13:28
But he said, No; lest in gathering the darnel ye should root up the wheat with it. Mt. 13:29
Suffer both to grow together unto the harvest, and in time of the harvest I will say to the harvestmen, Gather first the darnel, and bind it into bundles to burn it; but the wheat bring together into my granary. Mt. 13:30
Another parable set he before them, saying, The kingdom of the heavens is like a grain of mustard seed which a man took and sowed in his field; Mt. 13:31
which is less indeed than all seeds, but when it is grown is greater than herbs, and becomes a tree, so that the birds of heaven come and roost in its branches. Mt. 13:32
He spoke another parable to them: The kingdom of the heavens is like leaven, which a woman took and hid in three measures of meal until it had been all leavened. Mt. 13:33
All these things Jesus spoke to the crowds in parables, and without a parable he did not speak to them, Mt. 13:34
so that that should be fulfilled which was spoken through the prophet, saying, I will open my mouth in parables; I will utter things hidden from the world's foundation. Mt. 13:35
Then, having dismissed the crowds, he went into the house; and his disciples came to him, saying, Expound to us the parable of the darnel of the field. Mt. 13:36
But he answering said, He that sows the good seed is the Son of man, Mt. 13:37
and the field is the world; and the good seed, these are the sons of the kingdom, but the darnel are the sons of the evil one; Mt. 13:38
and the enemy who has sowed it is the devil; and the harvest is the completion of the age, and the harvestmen are angels. Mt. 13:39
As then the darnel is gathered and is burned in the fire, thus it shall be in the completion of the age. Mt. 13:40
The Son of man shall send his angels, and they shall gather out of his kingdom all offences, and those that practise lawlessness; Mt. 13:41
and they shall cast them into the furnace of fire; there shall be the weeping and the gnashing of teeth. Mt. 13:42
Then the righteous shall shine forth as the sun in the kingdom of their Father. He that has ears, let him hear. Mt. 13:43
The kingdom of the heavens is like a treasure hid in the field, which a man having found has hid, and for the joy of it goes and sells all whatever he has, and buys that field. Mt. 13:44
Again, the kingdom of the heavens is like a merchant seeking beautiful pearls; Mt. 13:45
Again, the kingdom of the heavens is like a seine which has been cast into the sea, and which has gathered together of every kind, Mt. 13:47
which, when it has been filled, having drawn up on the shore and sat down, they gathered the good into vessels and cast the worthless out. Mt. 13:48
Thus shall it be in the completion of the age: the angels shall go forth and sever the wicked from the midst of the just, Mt. 13:49
and shall cast them into the furnace of fire; there shall be the weeping and the gnashing of teeth. Mt. 13:50
And he said to them, For this reason every scribe discipled to the kingdom of the heavens is like a man that is a householder who brings out of his treasure things new and old. Mt. 13:52
Is not this the son of the carpenter? Is not his mother called Mary, and his brethren James, and Joseph, and Simon, and Judas? Mt. 13:55
At that time Herod the tetrarch heard of the fame of Jesus, Mt. 14:1
and said to his servants, This is John the baptist: *he* is risen from the dead, and because of this these works of power display their force in him. Mt. 14:2
For Herod had seized John, and had bound him and put him in prison on account of Herodias the wife of Philip his brother. Mt. 14:3
And while desiring to kill him, he feared the crowd, because they held him for a prophet. Mt. 14:5
But when Herod's birthday was celebrated, the daughter of Herodias danced before them, and pleased Herod; Mt. 14:6
But she, being set on by her mother, says, Give me here upon a dish the head of John the baptist. Mt. 14:8
And the king was grieved; but on account of the oaths, and those lying at table with him, he commanded it to be given. Mt. 14:9
And he sent and beheaded John in the prison; Mt. 14:10
and his head was brought upon a dish, and was given to the damsel, and she carried it to her mother. Mt. 14:11
And his disciples came and took the body and buried it, and came and brought word to Jesus. Mt. 14:12
And Jesus, having heard it, went away thence by ship to a desert place apart. And the crowds having heard of it followed him on foot from the cities. Mt. 14:13
But when even was come, his disciples came to him saying, The place is desert, and much of the day time already gone by; dismiss the crowds, that they may go into the villages and buy food for themselves. Mt. 14:15
And having commanded the crowds to recline upon the grass, having taken the five loaves and the two fishes, he looked up to heaven, and blessed: and having broken the loaves, he gave them to the disciples, and the disciples gave them to the crowds. Mt. 14:19
And immediately he compelled the disciples to go on board ship, and to go on before him to the other side, until he should have dismissed the crowds. Mt. 14:22
And having dismissed the crowds, he went up into the mountain apart to pray. And when even was come, he was alone there, Mt. 14:23
but the ship was already in the middle of the sea tossed by the waves, for the wind was contrary. Mt. 14:24
But in the fourth watch of the night he went off to them, walking on the sea. Mt. 14:25
And the disciples, seeing him walking on the sea, were troubled, saying, It is an apparition. And they cried out through fear. Mt. 14:26
And Peter answering him said, Lord, if it be *thou*, command me to come to thee upon the waters. Mt. 14:28
And he said, Come. And Peter, having descended from the ship, walked upon the waters to go to Jesus. Mt. 14:29
But seeing the wind strong he was afraid; and beginning to sink he cried out, saying, Lord, save me. Mt. 14:30
And when they had gone up into the ship, the wind fell. Mt. 14:32
But those in the ship came and did homage to him, saying, Truly thou art God's Son. Mt. 14:33
And having crossed over they came to the land of Gennesaret. Mt. 14:34
And when the men of that place recognised him, they sent to that whole country around, and they brought to him all that were ill, Mt. 14:35
and besought him that they might only touch the hem of his garment; and as many as touched were made thoroughly well. Mt. 14:36
Then the scribes and Pharisees from Jerusalem come up to Jesus, saying, Mt. 15:1
Why do thy disciples transgress what has been delivered by the ancients? for they do not wash their hands when they eat bread. Mt. 15:2
But he answering said to them, Why do *ye* also transgress the commandment of God on account of your traditional teaching? Mt. 15:3
For God commanded saying, Honour father and mother; and, He that speaks ill of father or mother, let him die the death. Mt. 15:4
and he shall in no wise honour his father or his mother; and ye have made void the commandment of God on account of your traditional teaching. Mt. 15:6
This people honour me with the lips, but their heart is far away from me; Mt. 15:8
And having called to him the crowd, he said to them, Hear and understand: Mt. 15:10
Not what enters into the mouth defiles the man; but what goes forth out of the mouth, this defiles the man. Mt. 15:11
Then his disciples, coming up, said to him, Dost thou know that the Pharisees, having heard this word, have been offended? Mt. 15:12
Do ye not yet apprehend, that everything that enters into the mouth finds its way into the belly, and is cast forth into the draught? Mt. 15:17
but the things which go forth out of the mouth come out of the heart, and those defile man. Mt. 15:18
For out of the heart come forth evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witnessings, blasphemies; Mt. 15:19
these are the things which defile man; but the eating with unwashen hands does not defile man. Mt. 15:20
And Jesus, going forth from thence, went away into the parts of Tyre and Sidon; Mt. 15:21
But he answering said, I have not been sent save to the lost sheep of Israel's house. Mt. 15:24
But he answering said, It is not well to take the bread of the children and cast it to the dogs. Mt. 15:26
But she said, Yea, Lord; for even the dogs eat of the crumbs which fall from the table of their masters. Mt. 15:27
And Jesus, going away from thence, came towards the sea of Galilee, and he went up into the mountain and sat down there; Mt. 15:29
so that the crowds wondered, seeing dumb speaking, crippled sound, lame walking, and blind seeing; and they glorified the God of Israel. Mt. 15:31
But Jesus, having called his disciples to him, said, I have compassion on the crowd, because they have stayed with me already three days and they have not anything they can eat, and I would not send them away fasting lest they should faint on the way. Mt. 15:32
And his disciples say to him, Whence should we have so many loaves in the wilderness as to satisfy so great a crowd? Mt. 15:33
And he commanded the crowds to lie down on the ground; Mt. 15:35
and having taken the seven loaves and the fishes, having given thanks, he broke them and gave them to his disciples, and the disciples to the crowd. Mt. 15:36
And all ate and were filled; and they took up what was over and above of the fragments seven baskets full; Mt. 15:37
And, having dismissed the crowds, he went on board ship and came to the borders of Magadan. Mt. 15:39
And the Pharisees and Sadducees, coming to him, asked him, tempting him, to shew them a sign out of heaven. Mt. 16:1
But he answering said to them, When evening is come, ye say, Fine weather, for the sky is red; Mt. 16:2
and in the morning, A storm to-day, for the sky is red and lowering; ye know how to discern the face of the sky, but ye cannot the signs of the times. Mt. 16:3
A wicked and adulterous generation seeks after a sign, and a sign shall not be given to it save the sign of Jonas. And he left them and went away. Mt. 16:4
And when his disciples were come to the other side, they had forgotten to take bread. Mt. 16:5
And Jesus said to them, See and beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees. Mt. 16:6
Do ye not yet understand nor remember the five loaves of the five thousand, and how many hand-baskets ye took up? Mt. 16:9
nor the seven loaves of the four thousand, and how many baskets ye took up? Mt. 16:10
How do ye not understand that it was not concerning bread I said to you, Beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees? Mt. 16:11
Then they comprehended that he did not speak of being beware of the leaven of bread, but of the doctrine of the Pharisees and Sadducees. Mt. 16:12
But when Jesus was come into the parts of Caesarea-Philippi, he demanded of his disciples, saying, Who do men say that I the Son of man am? Mt. 16:13
And they said, Some, John the baptist; and others, Elias; and others again, Jeremias or one of the prophets. Mt. 16:14
And Simon Peter answering said, *Thou* art the Christ, the Son of the living God. Mt. 16:16
And Jesus answering said to him, Blessed art thou, Simon Bar-jona, for flesh and blood has not revealed it to thee, but my Father who is in the heavens. Mt. 16:17
And I will give to thee the keys of the kingdom of the heavens; and whatsoever thou mayest bind upon the earth shall be bound in the heavens; and whatsoever thou mayest loose on the earth shall be loosed in the heavens. Mt. 16:19
Then he enjoined on his disciples that they should say to no man that he was the Christ. Mt. 16:20
From that time Jesus began to shew to his disciples that he must go away to Jerusalem, and suffer many things from the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be killed, and the third day be raised. Mt. 16:21
But turning round, he said to Peter, Get away behind me, Satan; thou art an offence to me, for thy mind is not on the things that are of God, but on the things that are of men. Mt. 16:23
For what does a man profit, if he should gain the whole world and suffer the loss of his soul? or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul? Mt. 16:26
For the Son of man is about to come in the glory of his Father with his angels, and then he will render to each according to his doings. Mt. 16:27
Verily I say unto you, There are some of those standing here that shall not taste of death at all until they shall have seen the Son of man coming in his kingdom. Mt. 16:28
And he was transfigured before them. And his face shone as the sun, and his garments became white as the light; Mt. 17:2
While he was still speaking, behold, a bright cloud overshadowed them, and lo, a voice out of the cloud, saying, *This* is my beloved Son, in whom I have found my delight: hear him. Mt. 17:5
And the disciples hearing it fell upon their faces, and were greatly terrified. Mt. 17:6
And as they descended from the mountain, Jesus charged them, saying, Tell the vision to no one, until the Son of man be risen up from among the dead. Mt. 17:9
And his disciples demanded of him saying, Why then say the scribes that Elias must first have come? Mt. 17:10
But I say unto you that Elias has already come, and they have not known him, but have done unto him whatever they would. Thus also the Son of man is about to suffer from them. Mt. 17:12
Then the disciples understood that he spoke to them of John the baptist. Mt. 17:13
And when they came to the crowd, a man came to him, falling on his knees before him, and saying, Mt. 17:14
Lord, have mercy on my son, for he is lunatic, and suffers sorely; for often he falls into the fire and often into the water. Mt. 17:15
And Jesus rebuked him, and the demon went out from him, and the boy was healed from that hour. Mt. 17:18
Then the disciples, coming to Jesus apart, said to him, Why were not *we* able to cast him out? Mt. 17:19
And while they abode in Galilee, Jesus said to them, The Son of man is about to be delivered up into the hands of men, Mt. 17:22
and they shall kill him; and the third day he shall be raised up. And they were greatly grieved. Mt. 17:23
And when they came to Capernaum, those who received the didrachmas came to Peter and said, Does your teacher not pay the didrachmas? Mt. 17:24
He says, Yes. And when he came into the house, Jesus anticipated him, saying, What dost thou think, Simon? the kings of the earth, from whom do they receive custom or tribute? from their own sons or from strangers? Mt. 17:25
Peter says to him, From strangers. Jesus said to him, Then are the sons free. Mt. 17:26
But that we may not be an offence to them, go to the sea and cast a hook, and take the first fish that comes up, and when thou hast opened its mouth thou wilt find a stater; take that and give it to them for me and thee. Mt. 17:27
In that hour the disciples came to Jesus saying, Who then is greatest in the kingdom of the heavens? Mt. 18:1
and said, Verily I say to you, Unless ye are converted and become as little children, ye will not at all enter into the kingdom of the heavens. Mt. 18:3
Whoever therefore shall humble himself as this little child, *he* is the greatest in the kingdom of the heavens; Mt. 18:4
But whosoever shall offend one of these little ones who believe in me, it were profitable for him that a great millstone had been hanged upon his neck and he be sunk in the depths of the sea. Mt. 18:6
Woe to the world because of offences! For it must needs be that offences come; yet woe to that man by whom the offence comes! Mt. 18:7
And if thine eye offend thee, pluck it out and cast it from thee; it is good for thee to enter into life one-eyed, rather than having two eyes to be cast into the hell of fire. Mt. 18:9
See that ye do not despise one of these little ones; for I say unto you that their angels in the heavens continually behold the face of my Father who is in the heavens. Mt. 18:10
For the Son of man has come to save that which was lost. Mt. 18:11
What think ye? If a certain man should have a hundred sheep, and one of them be gone astray, does he not, leaving the ninety and nine on the mountains, go and seek the one that has gone astray? Mt. 18:12
And if it should come to pass that he find it, verily I say unto you, he rejoices more because of it than because of the ninety and nine not gone astray. Mt. 18:13
So it is not the will of your Father who is in the heavens that one of these little ones should perish. Mt. 18:14
But if he do not hear thee, take with thee one or two besides, that every matter may stand upon the word of two witnesses or of three. Mt. 18:16
But if he will not listen to them, tell it to the assembly; and if also he will not listen to the assembly, let him be to thee as one of the nations and a tax-gatherer. Mt. 18:17
Verily I say to you, Whatsoever ye shall bind on the earth shall be bound in heaven, and whatsoever ye shall loose on the earth shall be loosed in heaven. Mt. 18:18
Again I say to you, that if two of you shall agree on the earth concerning any matter, whatsoever it may be that they shall ask, it shall come to them from my Father who is in the heavens. Mt. 18:19
For where two or three are gathered together unto my name, there am I in the midst of them. Mt. 18:20
For this cause the kingdom of the heavens has become like a king who would reckon with his bondmen. Mt. 18:23
The bondman therefore falling down did him homage, saying, Lord, have patience with me and I will pay thee all. Mt. 18:26
And the lord of that bondman, being moved with compassion, loosed him and forgave him the loan. Mt. 18:27
And his lord being angry delivered him to the tormentors till he paid all that was owing to him. Mt. 18:34
And it came to pass, when Jesus had finished these words, he withdrew from Galilee, and came to the coasts of Judaea beyond the Jordan; Mt. 19:1
And the Pharisees came to him tempting him, and saying, Is it lawful for a man to put away his wife for every cause? Mt. 19:3
But he answering said to them, Have ye not read that he who made them, from the beginning made them male and female, Mt. 19:4
and said, On account of this a man shall leave father and mother, and shall be united to his wife, and the two shall be one flesh? Mt. 19:5
He says to them, Moses, in view of your hardheartedness, allowed you to put away your wives; but from the beginning it was not thus. Mt. 19:8
His disciples say to him, If the case of the man be so with his wife, it is not good to marry. Mt. 19:10
for there are eunuchs which have been born thus from their mother's womb; and there are eunuchs who have been made eunuchs of men; and there are eunuchs who have made eunuchs of themselves for the sake of the kingdom of the heavens. He that is able to receive it, let him receive it. Mt. 19:12
Then there were brought to him little children that he might lay his hands on them and pray; but the disciples rebuked them. Mt. 19:13
But Jesus said, Suffer little children, and do not hinder them from coming to me; for the kingdom of the heavens is of such: Mt. 19:14
And he said to him, What askest thou me concerning goodness? one is good. But if thou wouldest enter into life, keep the commandments. Mt. 19:17
The young man says to him, All these have I kept; what lack I yet? Mt. 19:20
Jesus said to him, If thou wouldest be perfect, go, sell what thou hast and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven; and come, follow me. Mt. 19:21
But the young man, having heard the word, went away grieved, for he had large possessions. Mt. 19:22
And Jesus said to his disciples, Verily I say unto you, A rich man shall with difficulty enter into the kingdom of the heavens; Mt. 19:23
and again I say unto you, It is easier for a camel to enter a needle's eye than a rich man into the kingdom of God. Mt. 19:24
And when the disciples heard it they were exceedingly astonished, saying, Who then can be saved? Mt. 19:25
And Jesus said to them, Verily I say unto you, That *ye* who have followed me, in the regeneration when the Son of man shall sit down upon his throne of glory, *ye* also shall sit on twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel. Mt. 19:28
For the kingdom of the heavens is like a householder who went out with the early morn to hire workmen for his vineyard. Mt. 20:1
And having agreed with the workmen for a denarius the day, he sent them into his vineyard. Mt. 20:2
And having gone out about the third hour, he saw others standing in the market-place idle; Mt. 20:3
and to them he said, Go also ye into the vineyard, and whatsoever may be just I will give you. And they went their way. Mt. 20:4
Again, having gone out about the sixth and ninth hour, he did likewise. Mt. 20:5
But about the eleventh hour, having gone out, he found others standing, and says to them, Why stand ye here all the day idle? Mt. 20:6
They say to him, Because no man has hired us. He says to them, Go also ye into the vineyard and whatsoever may be just ye shall receive. Mt. 20:7
But when the evening was come, the lord of the vineyard says to his steward, Call the workmen and pay them their wages, beginning from the last even to the first. Mt. 20:8
And when they who came to work about the eleventh hour came, they received each a denarius. Mt. 20:9
And when the first came, they supposed that they would receive more, and they received also themselves each a denarius. Mt. 20:10
And on receiving it they murmured against the master of the house, Mt. 20:11
saying, These last have worked one hour, and thou hast made them equal to us, who have borne the burden of the day and the heat. Mt. 20:12
Thus shall the last be first, and the first last; for many are called ones, but few chosen ones. Mt. 20:16
And Jesus, going up to Jerusalem, took the twelve disciples with him apart in the way, and said to them, Mt. 20:17
Behold we go up to Jerusalem, and the Son of man will be delivered up to the chief priests and scribes, and they will condemn him to death; Mt. 20:18
and they will deliver him up to the nations to mock and to scourge and to crucify, and the third day he shall rise again. Mt. 20:19
Then came to him the mother of the sons of Zebedee, with her sons, doing homage, and asking something of him. Mt. 20:20
And he said to her, What wilt thou? She says to him, Speak the word that these my two sons may sit, one on thy right hand and one on thy left in thy kingdom. Mt. 20:21
And Jesus answering said, Ye know not what ye ask. Can ye drink the cup which *I* am about to drink? They say to him, We are able. Mt. 20:22
And the ten, having heard of it, were indignant about the two brothers. Mt. 20:24
But Jesus having called them to him, said, Ye know that the rulers of the nations exercise lordship over them, and the great exercise authority over them. Mt. 20:25
as indeed the Son of man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life a ransom for many. Mt. 20:28
And lo, two blind men, sitting by the wayside, having heard that Jesus was passing by, cried out saying, Have mercy on us, Lord, Son of David. Mt. 20:30
But the crowd rebuked them, that they might be silent. But they cried out the more, saying, Have mercy on us, Lord, Son of David. Mt. 20:31
And when they drew near to Jerusalem and came to Bethphage, at the mount of Olives, then Jesus sent two disciples, Mt. 21:1
saying to them, Go into the village over against you, and immediately ye will find an ass tied, and a colt with it; loose them and lead them to me. Mt. 21:2
And if any one say anything to you, ye shall say, The Lord has need of them, and straightway he will send them. Mt. 21:3
But all this came to pass, that that might be fulfilled which was spoken through the prophet, saying, Mt. 21:4
Say to the daughter of Zion, Behold thy King cometh to thee, meek, and mounted upon an ass, and upon a colt the foal of an ass. Mt. 21:5
But the disciples, having gone and done as Jesus had ordered them, Mt. 21:6
brought the ass and the colt and put their garments upon them, and he sat on them. Mt. 21:7
But a very great crowd strewed their own garments on the way, and others kept cutting down branches from the trees and strewing them on the way. Mt. 21:8
And the crowds who went before him and who followed cried, saying, Hosanna to the Son of David; blessed be he who comes in the name of the Lord; hosanna in the highest. Mt. 21:9
And as he entered into Jerusalem, the whole city was moved, saying, Who is this? Mt. 21:10
And the crowds said, This is Jesus the prophet who is from Nazareth of Galilee. Mt. 21:11
And Jesus entered into the temple of God, and cast out all that sold and bought in the temple, and overthrew the tables of the money-changers and the seats of those that sold the doves. Mt. 21:12
And blind and lame came to him in the temple, and he healed them. Mt. 21:14
And when the chief priests and the scribes saw the wonders which he wrought, and the children crying in the temple and saying, Hosanna to the Son of David, they were indignant, Mt. 21:15
and said to him, Hearest thou what these say? And Jesus says to them, Yea; have ye never read, Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings thou hast perfected praise? Mt. 21:16
And leaving them he went forth out of the city to Bethany, and there he passed the night. Mt. 21:17
But early in the morning, as he came back into the city, he hungered. Mt. 21:18
And seeing one fig-tree in the way, he came to it and found on it nothing but leaves only. And he says to it, Let there be never more fruit of thee for ever. And the fig-tree was immediately dried up. Mt. 21:19
And when the disciples saw it, they wondered, saying, How immediately is the fig-tree dried up! Mt. 21:20
And Jesus answering said to them, Verily I say unto you, If ye have faith, and do not doubt, not only shall ye do what is done to the fig-tree, but even if ye should say to this mountain, Be thou taken away and be thou cast into the sea, it shall come to pass. Mt. 21:21
And when he came into the temple, the chief priests and the elders of the people came to him as he was teaching, saying, By what authority doest thou these things? and who gave thee this authority? Mt. 21:23
The baptism of John, whence was it? of heaven or of men? And they reasoned among themselves, saying, If we should say, Of heaven, he will say to us, Why then have ye not believed him? Mt. 21:25
but if we should say, Of men, we fear the crowd, for all hold John for a prophet. Mt. 21:26
But what think ye? A man had two children, and coming to the first he said, Child, go to-day, work in my vineyard. Mt. 21:28
And coming to the second he said likewise; and he answering said, *I* go, sir, and went not. Mt. 21:30
Which of the two did the will of the father? They say to him, The first. Jesus says to them, Verily I say unto you that the tax-gatherers and the harlots go into the kingdom of God before you. Mt. 21:31
For John came to you in the way of righteousness, and ye believed him not; but the tax-gatherers and the harlots believed him; but *ye* when ye saw it repented not yourselves afterwards to believe him. Mt. 21:32
Hear another parable: There was a householder who planted a vineyard, and made a fence round it, and dug a winepress in it, and built a tower, and let it out to husbandmen, and left the country. Mt. 21:33
But when the time of fruit drew near, he sent his bondmen to the husbandmen to receive his fruits. Mt. 21:34
And the husbandmen took his bondmen, and beat one, killed another, and stoned another. Mt. 21:35
Again he sent other bondmen more than the first, and they did to them in like manner. Mt. 21:36
But the husbandmen, seeing the son, said among themselves, This is the heir; come, let us kill him and possess his inheritance. Mt. 21:38
And they took him, and cast him forth out of the vineyard, and killed him. Mt. 21:39
When therefore the lord of the vineyard comes, what shall he do to those husbandmen? Mt. 21:40
They say to him, He will miserably destroy those evil men, and let out the vineyard to other husbandmen, who shall render him the fruits in their seasons. Mt. 21:41
Jesus says to them, Have ye never read in the scriptures, The stone which they that builded rejected, this has become the corner-stone: this is of the Lord, and it is wonderful in our eyes? Mt. 21:42
Therefore I say to you, that the kingdom of God shall be taken from you and shall be given to a nation producing the fruits of it. Mt. 21:43
And the chief priests and the Pharisees, having heard his parables, knew that he spoke about them. Mt. 21:45
And seeking to lay hold of him, they were afraid of the crowds, because they held him for a prophet. Mt. 21:46
The kingdom of the heavens has become like a king who made a wedding feast for his son, Mt. 22:2
and sent his bondmen to call the persons invited to the wedding feast, and they would not come. Mt. 22:3
Again he sent other bondmen, saying, Say to the persons invited, Behold, I have prepared my dinner; my oxen and my fatted beasts are killed, and all things ready; come to the wedding feast. Mt. 22:4
And the rest, laying hold of his bondmen, ill-treated and slew them. Mt. 22:6
And when the king heard of it he was wroth, and having sent his forces, destroyed those murderers and burned their city. Mt. 22:7
Then he says to his bondmen, The wedding feast is ready, but those invited were not worthy; Mt. 22:8
go therefore into the thoroughfares of the highways, and as many as ye shall find invite to the wedding feast. Mt. 22:9
And those bondmen went out into the highways, and brought together all as many as they found, both evil and good; and the wedding feast was furnished with guests. Mt. 22:10
And the king, having gone in to see the guests, beheld there a man not clothed with a wedding garment. Mt. 22:11
Then said the king to the servants, Bind him feet and hands, and take him away, and cast him out into the outer darkness: there shall be the weeping and the gnashing of teeth. Mt. 22:13
Then went the Pharisees and held a council how they might ensnare him in speaking. Mt. 22:15
And they send out to him their disciples with the Herodians, saying, Teacher, we know that thou art true and teachest the way of God in truth, and carest not for any one, for thou regardest not men's person; Mt. 22:16
Shew me the money of the tribute. And they presented to him a denarius. Mt. 22:19
Now there were with us seven brethren; and the first having married died, and not having seed, left his wife to his brother. Mt. 22:25
In like manner also the second and the third, unto the seven. Mt. 22:26
And last of all the woman also died. Mt. 22:27
In the resurrection therefore of which of the seven shall she be wife, for all had her? Mt. 22:28
And Jesus answering said to them, Ye err, not knowing the scriptures nor the power of God. Mt. 22:29
For in the resurrection they neither marry nor are given in marriage, but are as angels of God in heaven. Mt. 22:30
But concerning the resurrection of the dead, have ye not read what was spoken to you by God, saying, Mt. 22:31
*I* am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob? God is not God of the dead, but of the living. Mt. 22:32
And when the crowds heard it they were astonished at his doctrine. Mt. 22:33
But the Pharisees, having heard that he had put the Sadducees to silence, were gathered together. Mt. 22:34
Teacher, which is the great commandment in the law? Mt. 22:36
And he said to him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy understanding. Mt. 22:37
This is the great and first commandment. Mt. 22:38
And the second is like it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. Mt. 22:39
On these two commandments the whole law and the prophets hang. Mt. 22:40
And the Pharisees being gathered together, Jesus demanded of them, Mt. 22:41
saying, What think ye concerning the Christ? whose son is he? They say to him, David's. Mt. 22:42
The Lord said to my Lord, Sit on my right hand until I put thine enemies under thy feet? Mt. 22:44
Then Jesus spoke to the crowds and to his disciples, Mt. 23:1
saying, The scribes and the Pharisees have set themselves down in Moses' seat: Mt. 23:2
but bind burdens heavy and hard to bear, and lay them on the shoulders of men, but will not move them with their finger. Mt. 23:4
And all their works they do to be seen of men: for they make broad their phylacteries and enlarge the borders of their garments, Mt. 23:5
and love the chief place in feasts and the first seats in the synagogues, Mt. 23:6
and salutations in the market-places, and to be called of men, Rabbi, Rabbi. Mt. 23:7
And call not any one your father upon the earth; for one is your Father, he who is in the heavens. Mt. 23:9
Neither be called instructors, for one is your instructor, the Christ. Mt. 23:10
But the greatest of you shall be your servant. Mt. 23:11
But woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites, for ye shut up the kingdom of the heavens before men; for *ye* do not enter, nor do ye suffer those that are entering to go in. Mt. 23:13
Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites, for ye compass the sea and the dry land to make one proselyte, and when he is become such, ye make him twofold more the son of hell than yourselves. Mt. 23:15
Woe to you, blind guides, who say, Whosoever shall swear by the temple, it is nothing; but whosoever shall swear by the gold of the temple, he is a debtor. Mt. 23:16
Fools and blind, for which is greater, the gold, or the temple which sanctifies the gold? Mt. 23:17
And, Whosoever shall swear by the altar, it is nothing; but whosoever shall swear by the gift that is upon it is a debtor. Mt. 23:18
Fools and blind ones, for which is greater, the gift, or the altar which sanctifies the gift? Mt. 23:19
He therefore that swears by the altar swears by it and by all things that are upon it. Mt. 23:20
And he that swears by the temple swears by it and by him that dwells in it. Mt. 23:21
And he that swears by heaven swears by the throne of God and by him that sits upon it. Mt. 23:22
Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites, for ye pay tithes of mint and anise and cummin, and ye have left aside the weightier matters of the law, judgment and mercy and faith: these ye ought to have done and not have left those aside. Mt. 23:23
Blind guides, who strain out the gnat, but drink down the camel. Mt. 23:24
Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites, for ye make clean the outside of the cup and of the dish, but within they are full of rapine and intemperance. Mt. 23:25
Blind Pharisee, make clean first the inside of the cup and of the dish, that their outside also may become clean. Mt. 23:26
Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites, for ye build the sepulchres of the prophets and adorn the tombs of the just, Mt. 23:29
and ye say, If we had been in the days of our fathers we would not have been partakers with them in the blood of the prophets. Mt. 23:30
So that ye bear witness of yourselves that ye are sons of those who slew the prophets: Mt. 23:31
and *ye*, fill ye up the measure of your fathers. Mt. 23:32
Serpents, offspring of vipers, how should ye escape the judgment of hell? Mt. 23:33
so that all righteous blood shed upon the earth should come upon *you*, from the blood of righteous Abel to the blood of Zacharias son of Barachias, whom ye slew between the temple and the altar. Mt. 23:35
Jerusalem, Jerusalem, the city that kills the prophets and stones those that are sent unto her, how often would I have gathered thy children as a hen gathers her chickens under her wings, and ye would not! Mt. 23:37
for I say unto you, Ye shall in no wise see me henceforth until ye say, Blessed be he that comes in the name of the Lord. Mt. 23:39
And Jesus went forth and went away from the temple, and his disciples came to him to point out to him the buildings of the temple. Mt. 24:1
And as he was sitting upon the mount of Olives the disciples came to him privately, saying, Tell us, when shall these things be, and what is the sign of thy coming and the completion of the age? Mt. 24:3
For many shall come in my name, saying, *I* am the Christ, and they shall mislead many. Mt. 24:5
But ye will hear of wars and rumours of wars. See that ye be not disturbed; for all these things must take place, but it is not yet the end. Mt. 24:6
But all these are the beginning of throes. Mt. 24:8
Then shall they deliver you up to tribulation, and shall kill you; and ye will be hated of all the nations for my name's sake. Mt. 24:9
and because lawlessness shall prevail, the love of the most shall grow cold; Mt. 24:12
but he that has endured to the end, *he* shall be saved. Mt. 24:13
And these glad tidings of the kingdom shall be preached in the whole habitable earth, for a witness to all the nations, and then shall come the end. Mt. 24:14
When therefore ye shall see the abomination of desolation, which is spoken of through Daniel the prophet, standing in what is a holy place, (he that reads let him understand,) Mt. 24:15
then let those who are in Judaea flee to the mountains; Mt. 24:16
let not him that is on the house come down to take the things out of his house; Mt. 24:17
and let not him that is in the field turn back to take his garment. Mt. 24:18
for then shall there be great tribulation, such as has not been from the beginning of the world until now, nor ever shall be; Mt. 24:21
and if those days had not been cut short, no flesh had been saved; but on account of the elect those days shall be cut short. Mt. 24:22
Then if any one say to you, Behold, here is the Christ, or here, believe it not. Mt. 24:23
For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall give great signs and wonders, so as to mislead, if possible, even the elect. Mt. 24:24
If therefore they say to you, Behold, he is in the desert, go not forth; behold, he is in the inner chambers, do not believe it. Mt. 24:26
For as the lightning goes forth from the east and shines to the west, so shall be the coming of the Son of man. Mt. 24:27
For wherever the carcase is, there will be gathered the eagles. Mt. 24:28
But immediately after the tribulation of those days the sun shall be darkened, and the moon not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken. Mt. 24:29
And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven; and then shall all the tribes of the land lament, and they shall see the Son of man coming on the clouds of heaven with power and great glory. Mt. 24:30
And he shall send his angels with a great sound of trumpet, and they shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from the one extremity of the heavens to the other extremity of them. Mt. 24:31
But learn the parable from the fig-tree: When already its branch becomes tender and produces leaves, ye know that the summer is near. Mt. 24:32
Thus also *ye*, when ye see all these things, know that it is near, at the doors. Mt. 24:33
The heaven and the earth shall pass away, but my words shall in no wise pass away. Mt. 24:35
But of that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of the heavens, but my Father alone. Mt. 24:36
But as the days of Noe, so also shall be the coming of the Son of man. Mt. 24:37
For as they were in the days which were before the flood, eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day on which Noe entered into the ark, Mt. 24:38
and they knew not till the flood came and took all away; thus also shall be the coming of the Son of man. Mt. 24:39
Then two shall be in the field, one is taken and one is left; Mt. 24:40
two women grinding at the mill, one is taken and one is left. Mt. 24:41
But know this, that if the master of the house had known in what watch the thief was coming, he would have watched and not have suffered his house to be dug through into. Mt. 24:43
Wherefore *ye* also, be ye ready, for in that hour that ye think not the Son of man comes. Mt. 24:44
Who then is the faithful and prudent bondman whom his lord has set over his household, to give them food in season? Mt. 24:45
and begin to beat his fellow-bondmen, and eat and drink with the drunken; Mt. 24:49
the lord of that bondman shall come in a day when he does not expect it, and in an hour he knows not of, Mt. 24:50
and shall cut him in two and appoint his portion with the hypocrites: there shall be the weeping and the gnashing of teeth. Mt. 24:51
Then shall the kingdom of the heavens be made like to ten virgins that having taken their torches, went forth to meet the bridegroom. Mt. 25:1
but the prudent took oil in their vessels with their torches. Mt. 25:4
Now the bridegroom tarrying, they all grew heavy and slept. Mt. 25:5
But in the middle of the night there was a cry, Behold, the bridegroom; go forth to meet him. Mt. 25:6
And the foolish said to the prudent, Give us of your oil, for our torches are going out. Mt. 25:8
But the prudent answered saying, We cannot, lest it might not suffice for us and for you. Go rather to those that sell, and buy for yourselves. Mt. 25:9
But as they went away to buy, the bridegroom came, and the ones that were ready went in with him to the wedding feast, and the door was shut. Mt. 25:10
Afterwards come also the rest of the virgins, saying, Lord, Lord, open to us; Mt. 25:11
Watch therefore, for ye know not the day nor the hour. Mt. 25:13
And to one he gave five talents, to another two, and to another one; to each according to his particular ability, and immediately went away out of the country. Mt. 25:15
And he that had received the five talents went and trafficked with them, and made five other talents. Mt. 25:16
In like manner also he that had received the two, he also gained two others. Mt. 25:17
But he that had received the one went and dug in the earth, and hid the money of his lord. Mt. 25:18
And after a long time the lord of those bondmen comes and reckons with them. Mt. 25:19
And he that had received the five talents came to him and brought five other talents, saying, My lord, thou deliveredst me five talents; behold, I have gained five other talents besides them. Mt. 25:20
His lord said to him, Well, good and faithful bondman, thou wast faithful over a few things, I will set thee over many things: enter into the joy of thy lord. Mt. 25:21
And he also that had received the two talents came to him and said, My lord, thou deliveredst me two talents; behold, I have gained two other talents besides them. Mt. 25:22
His lord said to him, Well, good and faithful bondman, thou wast faithful over a few things, I will set thee over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord. Mt. 25:23
And he also that had received the one talent coming to him said, My lord, I knew thee that thou art a hard man, reaping where thou hadst not sowed, and gathering from where thou hadst not scattered, Mt. 25:24
and being afraid I went away and hid thy talent in the earth; behold, thou hast that which is thine. Mt. 25:25
thou oughtest then to have put my money to the money-changers, and when I came I should have got what is mine with interest. Mt. 25:27
Take therefore the talent from him, and give it to him that has the ten talents: Mt. 25:28
And cast out the useless bondman into the outer darkness; there shall be the weeping and the gnashing of teeth. Mt. 25:30
But when the Son of man comes in his glory, and all the angels with him, then shall he sit down upon his throne of glory, Mt. 25:31
and all the nations shall be gathered before him; and he shall separate them from one another, as the shepherd separates the sheep from the goats; Mt. 25:32
and he will set the sheep on his right hand, and the goats on his left. Mt. 25:33
Then shall the King say to those on his right hand, Come, blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the world's foundation: Mt. 25:34
Then shall the righteous answer him saying, Lord, when saw we thee hungering, and nourished thee; or thirsting, and gave thee to drink? Mt. 25:37
And the King answering shall say to them, Verily, I say to you, Inasmuch as ye have done it to one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it to me. Mt. 25:40
Then shall he say also to those on the left, Go from me, cursed, into eternal fire, prepared for the devil and his angels: Mt. 25:41
And these shall go away into eternal punishment, and the righteous into life eternal. Mt. 25:46
Ye know that after two days the passover takes place, and the Son of man is delivered up to be crucified. Mt. 26:2
Then the chief priests and the elders of the people were gathered together to the palace of the high priest who was called Caiaphas, Mt. 26:3
but they said, Not in the feast, that there be not a tumult among the people. Mt. 26:5
But Jesus being in Bethany, in Simon the leper's house, Mt. 26:6
But the disciples seeing it became indignant, saying, To what end was this waste? Mt. 26:8
for this might have been sold for much and been given to the poor. Mt. 26:9
But Jesus knowing it said to them, Why do ye trouble the woman? for she has wrought a good work toward me. Mt. 26:10
For ye have the poor always with you, but me ye have not always. Mt. 26:11
Verily I say to you, Wheresoever these glad tidings may be preached in the whole world, that also which this woman has done shall be spoken of for a memorial of her. Mt. 26:13
Then one of the twelve, he who was called Judas Iscariote, went to the chief priests Mt. 26:14
Now on the first day of the feast of unleavened bread, the disciples came to Jesus, saying, Where wilt thou that we prepare for thee to eat the passover? Mt. 26:17
And he said, Go into the city unto such a one, and say to him, The Teacher says, My time is near, I will keep the passover in thy house with my disciples. Mt. 26:18
And the disciples did as Jesus had directed them, and they prepared the passover. Mt. 26:19
And when the evening was come he lay down at table with the twelve. Mt. 26:20
But he answering said, He that dips his hand with me in the dish, *he* it is who shall deliver me up. Mt. 26:23
The Son of man goes indeed, according as it is written concerning him, but woe to that man by whom the Son of man is delivered up; it were good for that man if he had not been born. Mt. 26:24
And as they were eating, Jesus, having taken the bread and blessed, broke it and gave it to the disciples, and said, Take, eat: this is my body. Mt. 26:26
And having taken the cup and given thanks, he gave it to them, saying, Drink ye all of it. Mt. 26:27
For this is my blood, that of the new covenant, that shed for many for remission of sins. Mt. 26:28
But I say to you, that I will not at all drink henceforth of this fruit of the vine, until that day when I drink it new with you in the kingdom of my Father. Mt. 26:29
And having sung a hymn, they went out to the mount of Olives. Mt. 26:30
Then saith Jesus to them, All *ye* shall be offended in me during this night. For it is written, I will smite the shepherd, and the sheep of the flock shall be scattered abroad. Mt. 26:31
Jesus said to him, Verily I say to thee, that during this night, before the cock shall crow, thou shalt deny me thrice. Mt. 26:34
Peter says to him, If I should needs die with thee, I will in no wise deny thee. Likewise said all the disciples also. Mt. 26:35
Then Jesus comes with them to a place called Gethsemane, and says to the disciples, Sit here until I go away and pray yonder. Mt. 26:36
And taking with him Peter and the two sons of Zebedee, he began to be sorrowful and deeply depressed. Mt. 26:37
And he comes to the disciples and finds them sleeping, and says to Peter, Thus ye have not been able to watch one hour with me? Mt. 26:40
Watch and pray, that ye enter not into temptation: the spirit indeed is ready, but the flesh weak. Mt. 26:41
And leaving them, he went away again and prayed the third time, saying the same thing. Mt. 26:44
Then he comes to the disciples and says to them, Sleep on now and take your rest; behold, the hour has drawn nigh, and the Son of man is delivered up into the hands of sinners. Mt. 26:45
And while he was yet speaking, behold, Judas, one of the twelve, came, and with him a great crowd with swords and sticks from the chief priests and elders of the people. Mt. 26:47
And behold, one of those with Jesus stretched out his hand and drew his sword, and smiting the bondman of the high priest took off his ear. Mt. 26:51
Then saith Jesus to him, Return thy sword to its place; for all who take the sword shall perish by the sword. Mt. 26:52
How then should the scriptures be fulfilled that thus it must be? Mt. 26:54
In that hour Jesus said to the crowds, Are ye come out as against a robber with swords and sticks to take me? I sat daily with you teaching in the temple, and ye did not seize me. Mt. 26:55
But all this is come to pass that the scriptures of the prophets may be fulfilled. Then all the disciples left him and fled. Mt. 26:56
Now they that had seized Jesus led him away to Caiaphas the high priest, where the scribes and the elders were assembled. Mt. 26:57
And Peter followed him at a distance, even to the palace of the high priest, and entering in sat with the officers to see the end. Mt. 26:58
And the chief priests and the elders and the whole sanhedrim sought false witness against Jesus, so that they might put him to death. Mt. 26:59
And they found none, though many false witnesses came forward. But at the last two false witnesses came forward Mt. 26:60
and said, *He* said, I am able to destroy the temple of God, and in three days build it. Mt. 26:61
And the high priest standing up said to him, Answerest thou nothing? What do these witness against thee? Mt. 26:62
But Jesus was silent. And the high priest answering said to him, I adjure thee by the living God that thou tell us if *thou* art the Christ the Son of God. Mt. 26:63
Jesus says to him, *Thou* hast said. Moreover, I say to you, From henceforth ye shall see the Son of man sitting at the right hand of power, and coming on the clouds of heaven. Mt. 26:64
Then the high priest rent his clothes, saying, He has blasphemed: what need have we any more of witnesses? behold, now ye have heard the blasphemy. Mt. 26:65
What think ye? And they answering said, He is liable to the penalty of death. Mt. 26:66
Then they spit in his face, and buffeted him, and some struck him with the palms of their hand, Mt. 26:67
But Peter sat without in the palace-court; and a maid came to him, saying, And *thou* wast with Jesus the Galilaean. Mt. 26:69
And when he had gone out into the entrance, another maid saw him, and says to those there, This man also was with Jesus the Nazaraean. Mt. 26:71
And again he denied with an oath: I do not know the man. Mt. 26:72
Then he began to curse and to swear, I know not the man. And immediately the cock crew. Mt. 26:74
And Peter remembered the word of Jesus, who had said to him, Before the cock crow thou shalt deny me thrice. And he went forth without, and wept bitterly. Mt. 26:75
And when it was morning all the chief priests and the elders of the people took counsel against Jesus so that they might put him to death. Mt. 27:1
And having bound him they led him away, and delivered him up to Pontius Pilate, the governor. Mt. 27:2
Then Judas, who delivered him up, seeing that he had been condemned, filled with remorse, returned the thirty pieces of silver to the chief priests and the elders, Mt. 27:3
And having cast down the pieces of silver in the temple, he left the place, and went away and hanged himself. Mt. 27:5
And the chief priests took the pieces of silver and said, It is not lawful to cast them into the Corban, since it is the price of blood. Mt. 27:6
And having taken counsel, they bought with them the field of the potter for a burying-ground for strangers. Mt. 27:7
Then was fulfilled that which was spoken through Jeremias the prophet, saying, And I took the thirty pieces of silver, the price of him that was set a price on, whom they who were of the sons of Israel had set a price on, Mt. 27:9
and they gave them for the field of the potter, according as the Lord commanded me. Mt. 27:10
But Jesus stood before the governor. And the governor questioned him, saying, Art *thou* the King of the Jews? And Jesus said to him, Thou sayest. Mt. 27:11
And when he was accused of the chief priests and the elders, he answered nothing. Mt. 27:12
And he answered him not so much as one word, so that the governor wondered exceedingly. Mt. 27:14
Now at the feast the governor was accustomed to release one prisoner to the crowd, whom they would. Mt. 27:15
But, as he was sitting on the judgment-seat, his wife sent to him, saying, Have thou nothing to do with that righteous man; for I have suffered to-day many things in a dream because of him. Mt. 27:19
But the chief priests and the elders persuaded the crowds that they should beg for Barabbas, and destroy Jesus. Mt. 27:20
And the governor answering said to them, Which of the two will ye that I release unto you? And they said, Barabbas. Mt. 27:21
And the governor said, What evil then has he done? But they cried more than ever, saying, Let him be crucified. Mt. 27:23
And Pilate, seeing that it availed nothing, but that rather a tumult was arising, having taken water, washed his hands before the crowd, saying, I am guiltless of the blood of this righteous one: see *ye* to it. Mt. 27:24
And all the people answering said, His blood be on us and on our children. Mt. 27:25
Then the soldiers of the governor, having taken Jesus with them to the praetorium, gathered against him the whole band, Mt. 27:27
and having woven a crown out of thorns, they put it on his head, and a reed in his right hand; and, bowing the knee before him, they mocked him, saying, Hail, King of the Jews! Mt. 27:29
And having spit upon him, they took the reed and beat him on his head. Mt. 27:30
And when they had mocked him, they took the cloak off him, and put his own clothes on him, and led him away to crucify. Mt. 27:31
And they set up over his head his accusation written: This is Jesus, the King of the Jews. Mt. 27:37
Then are crucified with him two robbers, one on the right hand and one on the left. Mt. 27:38
But the passers-by reviled him, shaking their heads Mt. 27:39
and saying, Thou that destroyest the temple and buildest it in three days, save thyself. If thou art Son of God, descend from the cross. Mt. 27:40
And in like manner the chief priests also, mocking, with the scribes and elders, said, Mt. 27:41
He saved others, himself he cannot save. He is King of Israel: let him descend now from the cross, and we will believe on him. Mt. 27:42
And the robbers also who had been crucified with him cast the same reproaches on him. Mt. 27:44
Now from the sixth hour there was darkness over the whole land until the ninth hour; Mt. 27:45
but about the ninth hour Jesus cried out with a loud voice, saying, Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani? that is, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me? Mt. 27:46
But the rest said, Let be; let us see if Elias comes to save him. Mt. 27:49
And Jesus, having again cried with a loud voice, gave up the ghost. Mt. 27:50
And lo, the veil of the temple was rent in two from the top to the bottom, and the earth was shaken, and the rocks were rent, Mt. 27:51
and the tombs were opened; and many bodies of the saints fallen asleep arose, Mt. 27:52
and going out of the tombs after his arising, entered into the holy city and appeared unto many. Mt. 27:53
But the centurion, and they who were with him on guard over Jesus, seeing the earthquake and the things that took place, feared greatly, saying, Truly this man was Son of God. Mt. 27:54
among whom was Mary of Magdala, and Mary the mother of James and Joses, and the mother of the sons of Zebedee. Mt. 27:56
*He*, going to Pilate, begged the body of Jesus. Then Pilate commanded the body to be given up. Mt. 27:58
And Joseph having got the body, wrapped it in a clean linen cloth, Mt. 27:59
and laid it in his new tomb which he had hewn in the rock; and having rolled a great stone to the door of the tomb, went away. Mt. 27:60
But Mary of Magdala was there, and the other Mary, sitting opposite the sepulchre. Mt. 27:61
Now on the morrow, which is after the preparation, the chief priests and the Pharisees came together to Pilate, Mt. 27:62
Command therefore that the sepulchre be secured until the third day, lest his disciples should come and steal him away, and say to the people, He is risen from the dead; and the last error shall be worse than the first. Mt. 27:64
And they went and secured the sepulchre, having sealed the stone, with the watch besides. Mt. 27:66
Now late on sabbath, as it was the dusk of the next day after sabbath, came Mary of Magdala and the other Mary to look at the sepulchre. Mt. 28:1
And behold, there was a great earthquake; for an angel of the Lord, descending out of heaven, came and rolled away the stone and sat upon it. Mt. 28:2
And for fear of him the guards trembled and became as dead men. Mt. 28:4
And the angel answering said to the women, Fear not *ye*, for I know that ye seek Jesus the crucified one. Mt. 28:5
He is not here, for he is risen, as he said. Come, see the place where the Lord lay. Mt. 28:6
And go quickly and say to his disciples that he is risen from the dead; and behold, he goes before you into Galilee, there shall ye see him. Behold, I have told you. Mt. 28:7
And going out quickly from the tomb with fear and great joy, they ran to bring his disciples word. Mt. 28:8
And as they went to bring his disciples word, behold also, Jesus met them, saying, Hail! And they coming up took him by the feet, and did him homage. Mt. 28:9
And as they went, behold, some of the watch went into the city, and brought word to the chief priests of all that had taken place. Mt. 28:11
And having assembled with the elders, and having taken counsel, they gave a large sum of money to the soldiers, Mt. 28:12
And if this should come to the hearing of the governor, *we* will persuade him, and save *you* from all anxiety. Mt. 28:14
And they took the money and did as they had been taught. And this report is current among the Jews until this day. Mt. 28:15
But the eleven disciples went into Galilee to the mountain which Jesus had appointed them. Mt. 28:16
Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptising them to the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit; Mt. 28:19
teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have enjoined you. And behold, *I* am with you all the days, until the completion of the age. Mt. 28:20
Beginning of the glad tidings of Jesus Christ, Son of God; Mk. 1:1
as it is written in Isaiah the prophet, Behold, *I* send my messenger before thy face, who shall prepare thy way. Mk. 1:2
Voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare the way of the Lord, make his paths straight. Mk. 1:3
There came John baptising in the wilderness, and preaching the baptism of repentance for remission of sins. Mk. 1:4
And there went out to him all the district of Judaea, and all they of Jerusalem, and were baptised by him in the river Jordan, confessing their sins. Mk. 1:5
And he preached, saying, There comes he that is mightier than I after me, the thong of whose sandals I am not fit to stoop down and unloose. Mk. 1:7
*I* indeed have baptised you with water, but *he* shall baptise you with the Holy Spirit. Mk. 1:8
And it came to pass in those days that Jesus came from Nazareth of Galilee, and was baptised by John at the Jordan. Mk. 1:9
And straightway going up from the water, he saw the heavens parting asunder, and the Spirit, as a dove, descending upon him. Mk. 1:10
And there came a voice out of the heavens: *Thou* art my beloved Son, in thee I have found my delight. Mk. 1:11
And immediately the Spirit drives him out into the wilderness. Mk. 1:12
And he was in the wilderness forty days tempted by Satan, and was with the wild beasts; and the angels ministered to him. Mk. 1:13
But after John was delivered up, Jesus came into Galilee preaching the glad tidings of the kingdom of God, Mk. 1:14
and saying, The time is fulfilled and the kingdom of God has drawn nigh; repent and believe in the glad tidings. Mk. 1:15
And walking by the sea of Galilee, he saw Simon, and Andrew, Simon's brother, casting out a net in the sea, for they were fishers. Mk. 1:16
And going on thence a little, he saw James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother, and these were in the ship repairing the trawl-nets; Mk. 1:19
and straightway he called them; and leaving their father Zebedee in the ship with the hired servants, they went away after him. Mk. 1:20
And they go into Capernaum. And straightway on the sabbath he entered into the synagogue and taught. Mk. 1:21
And they were astonished at his doctrine, for he taught them as having authority, and not as the scribes. Mk. 1:22
saying, Eh! what have we to do with thee, Jesus, Nazarene? Art thou come to destroy us? I know thee who thou art, the holy one of God. Mk. 1:24
And the unclean spirit, having torn him, and uttered a cry with a loud voice, came out of him. Mk. 1:26
And all were amazed, so that they questioned together among themselves, saying, What is this? what new doctrine is this? for with authority he commands even the unclean spirits, and they obey him. Mk. 1:27
And his fame went out straightway into the whole region of Galilee around. Mk. 1:28
And straightway going out of the synagogue, they came with James and John into the house of Simon and Andrew. Mk. 1:29
And the mother-in-law of Simon lay in a fever. And straightway they speak to him about her. Mk. 1:30
And he went up to her and raised her up, having taken her by the hand, and straightway the fever left her, and she served them. Mk. 1:31
But evening being come, when the sun had gone down, they brought to him all that were suffering, and those possessed by demons; Mk. 1:32
and the whole city was gathered together at the door. Mk. 1:33
And he healed many suffering from various diseases; and he cast out many demons, and did not suffer the demons to speak because they knew him. Mk. 1:34
And rising in the morning long before day, he went out and went away into a desert place, and there prayed. Mk. 1:35
And he says to them, Let us go elsewhere into the neighbouring country towns, that I may preach there also, for for this purpose am I come forth. Mk. 1:38
And he was preaching in their synagogues in the whole of Galilee, and casting out demons. Mk. 1:39
And as he spoke straightway the leprosy left him, and he was cleansed. Mk. 1:42
and says to him, See thou say nothing to any one, but go, shew thyself to the priest, and offer for thy cleansing what Moses ordained, for a testimony to them. Mk. 1:44
But he, having gone forth, began to proclaim it much, and to spread the matter abroad, so that he could no longer enter openly into the city, but was without in desert places, and they came to him from every side. Mk. 1:45
And he entered again into Capernaum after several days, and it was reported that he was at the house; Mk. 2:1
and straightway many were gathered together, so that there was no longer any room, not even at the door; and he spoke the word to them. Mk. 2:2
and, not being able to get near to him on account of the crowd, they uncovered the roof where he was, and having dug it up they let down the couch on which the paralytic lay. Mk. 2:4
But Jesus, seeing their faith, says to the paralytic, Child, thy sins are forgiven thee. Mk. 2:5
But certain of the scribes were there sitting, and reasoning in their hearts, Mk. 2:6
Which is easier, to say to the paralytic, Thy sins are forgiven thee; or to say, Arise, and take up thy couch and walk? Mk. 2:9
But that ye may know that the Son of man has power on earth to forgive sins, he says to the paralytic, Mk. 2:10
And he went out again by the sea, and all the crowd came to him, and he taught them. Mk. 2:13
And passing by, he saw Levi the son of Alphaeus sitting at the tax-office, and says to him, Follow me. And he rose up and followed him. Mk. 2:14
And the scribes and the Pharisees, seeing him eating with sinners and tax-gatherers, said to his disciples, Why is it that he eats and drinks with tax-gatherers and sinners? Mk. 2:16
And the disciples of John and the Pharisees were fasting; and they come and say to him, Why do the disciples of John and the disciples of the Pharisees fast, but thy disciples fast not? Mk. 2:18
And Jesus said to them, Can the sons of the bride-chamber fast while the bridegroom is with them? As long as they have the bridegroom with them they cannot fast. Mk. 2:19
But days will come when the bridegroom shall have been taken away from them, and then shall they fast in that day. Mk. 2:20
No one sews a patch of new cloth on an old garment: otherwise its new filling-up takes from the old stuff, and there is a worse rent. Mk. 2:21
And no one puts new wine into old skins; otherwise the wine bursts the skins, and the wine is poured out, and the skins will be destroyed; but new wine is to be put into new skins. Mk. 2:22
And it came to pass that he went on the sabbath through the cornfields; and his disciples began to walk on, plucking the ears. Mk. 2:23
And the Pharisees said to him, Behold, why do they on the sabbath what is not lawful? Mk. 2:24
how he entered into the house of God, in the section of Abiathar the high priest, and ate the shew-bread, which it is not lawful unless for the priests to eat, and gave even to those that were with him? Mk. 2:26
And he said to them, The sabbath was made on account of man, not man on account of the sabbath; Mk. 2:27
so that the Son of man is lord of the sabbath also. Mk. 2:28
And he entered again into the synagogue; and there was there a man having his hand dried up. Mk. 3:1
And they watched him if he would heal him on the sabbath, that they might accuse him. Mk. 3:2
And he says to the man who had his hand dried up, Rise up and come into the midst. Mk. 3:3
And he says to them, Is it lawful on the sabbath to do good or to do evil, to save life or to kill? But they were silent. Mk. 3:4
And looking round upon them with anger, distressed at the hardening of their heart, he says to the man, Stretch out thy hand. And he stretched it out, and his hand was restored. Mk. 3:5
And the Pharisees going out straightway with the Herodians took counsel against him, how they might destroy him. Mk. 3:6
And Jesus withdrew with his disciples to the sea; and a great multitude from Galilee followed him, and from Judaea, Mk. 3:7
and from Jerusalem, and from Idumaea and beyond the Jordan; and they of around Tyre and Sidon, a great multitude, having heard what things he did, came to him. Mk. 3:8
And he spoke to his disciples, in order that a little ship should wait upon him on account of the crowd, that they might not press upon him. Mk. 3:9
And the unclean spirits, when they beheld him, fell down before him, and cried saying, *Thou* art the Son of God. Mk. 3:11
And he goes up into the mountain, and calls whom he himself would, and they went to him. Mk. 3:13
And he gave to Simon the surname of Peter; Mk. 3:16
and James the son of Zebedee, and John the brother of James, and he gave them the surname of Boanerges, that is, Sons of thunder; Mk. 3:17
and Andrew, and Philip, and Bartholomew, and Matthew, and Thomas, and James the son of Alphaeus, and Thaddaeus, and Simon the Cananaean, Mk. 3:18
and Judas Iscariote, who also delivered him up. And they come to the house. Mk. 3:19
And the scribes who had come down from Jerusalem said, He has Beelzebub, and, By the prince of the demons he casts out demons. Mk. 3:22
But no one can, having entered into his house, plunder the goods of the strong man unless he first bind the strong man, and then he will plunder his house. Mk. 3:27
Verily I say unto you, that all sins shall be forgiven to the sons of men, and all the injurious speeches with which they may speak injuriously; Mk. 3:28
but whosoever shall speak injuriously against the Holy Spirit, to eternity has no forgiveness; but lies under the guilt of an everlasting sin; Mk. 3:29
for whosoever shall do the will of God, *he* is my brother, and sister, and mother. Mk. 3:35
And again he began to teach by the sea. And a great crowd was gathered together to him, so that going on board ship he sat in the sea, and all the crowd were close to the sea on the land. Mk. 4:1
Hearken: Behold, the sower went forth to sow. Mk. 4:3
And it came to pass as he sowed, one fell by the wayside, and the birds came and devoured it. Mk. 4:4
And another fell on the rocky ground, where it had not much earth, and immediately it sprung up out of the ground because it had no depth of earth; Mk. 4:5
and when the sun arose it was burnt up, and because of its not having any root, it withered. Mk. 4:6
And another fell among the thorns, and the thorns grew up and choked it, and it yielded no fruit. Mk. 4:7
And another fell into the good ground, and yielded fruit, growing up and increasing; and bore, one thirty, and one sixty, and one a hundred. Mk. 4:8
And when he was alone, those about him with the twelve asked him as to the parables. Mk. 4:10
And he said to them, To you is given to know the mystery of the kingdom of God; but to them who are without, all things are done in parables, Mk. 4:11
And he says to them, Do ye not know this parable? and how will ye be acquainted with all the parables? Mk. 4:13
The sower sows the word: Mk. 4:14
and these are they by the wayside where the word is sown, and when they hear, immediately Satan comes and takes away the word that was sown in them. Mk. 4:15
And these are they in like manner who are sown upon the rocky places, who when they hear the word, immediately receive it with joy, Mk. 4:16
and they have no root in themselves, but are for a time: then, tribulation arising, or persecution on account of the word, immediately they are offended. Mk. 4:17
And others are they who are sown among the thorns: these are they who have heard the word, Mk. 4:18
and the cares of life, and the deceitfulness of riches, and the lusts of other things, entering in, choke the word, and it becomes unfruitful. Mk. 4:19
And these are they who have been sown on the good ground, such as hear the word and receive it, and bear fruit; one thirty, and one sixty, and one a hundred fold. Mk. 4:20
And he said to them, Does the lamp come that it should be put under the bushel or under the couch? Is it not that it should be set upon the lamp-stand? Mk. 4:21
And he said, Thus is the kingdom of God, as if a man should cast the seed upon the earth, Mk. 4:26
and should sleep and rise up night and day, and the seed should sprout and grow, he does not know how. Mk. 4:27
The earth bears fruit of itself, first the blade, then an ear, then full corn in the ear. Mk. 4:28
But when the fruit is produced, immediately he sends the sickle, for the harvest is come. Mk. 4:29
And he said, How should we liken the kingdom of God, or with what comparison should we compare it? Mk. 4:30
As to a grain of mustard seed, which, when it is sown upon the earth, is less than all seeds which are upon the earth, Mk. 4:31
and when it has been sown, mounts up and becomes greater than all herbs, and produces great branches, so that the birds of heaven can roost under its shadow. Mk. 4:32
And with many such parables he spoke the word to them, as they were able to hear, Mk. 4:33
And on that day, when evening was come, he says to them, Let us go over to the other side: Mk. 4:35
and having sent away the crowd, they take him with them, as he was, in the ship. But other ships also were with him. Mk. 4:36
And there comes a violent gust of wind, and the waves beat into the ship, so that it already filled. Mk. 4:37
And *he* was in the stern sleeping on the cushion. And they awake him up and say to him, Teacher, dost thou not care that we are perishing? Mk. 4:38
And awaking up he rebuked the wind, and said to the sea, Silence; be mute. And the wind fell, and there was a great calm. Mk. 4:39
And they feared with great fear, and said one to another, Who then is this, that even the wind and the sea obey him? Mk. 4:41
And they came to the other side of the sea, to the country of the Gadarenes. Mk. 5:1
And immediately on his going out of the ship there met him out of the tombs a man possessed by an unclean spirit, Mk. 5:2
who had his dwelling in the tombs; and no one was able to bind him, not even with chains; Mk. 5:3
because he had been often bound with fetters and chains, and the chains had been torn asunder by him, and the fetters were shattered; and no one was able to subdue him. Mk. 5:4
And continually night and day, in the tombs and in the mountains, he was crying and cutting himself with stones. Mk. 5:5
and crying with a loud voice he says, What have I to do with thee, Jesus, Son of the Most High God? I adjure thee by God, torment me not. Mk. 5:7
For he said to him, Come forth, unclean spirit, out of the man. Mk. 5:8
And he besought him much that he would not send them away out of the country. Mk. 5:10
Now there was there just at the mountain a great herd of swine feeding; Mk. 5:11
and they besought him, saying, Send us into the swine that we may enter into them. Mk. 5:12
And Jesus immediately allowed them. And the unclean spirits going out entered into the swine, and the herd rushed down the steep slope, into the sea (about two thousand), and were choked in the sea. Mk. 5:13
And those that were feeding them fled and reported it in the city and in the country. And they went out to see what it was that had taken place. Mk. 5:14
And they come to Jesus, and they see the possessed of demons sitting and clothed and sensible, him that had had the legion: and they were afraid. Mk. 5:15
And they that had seen it related to them how it had happened to the man possessed by demons, and concerning the swine. Mk. 5:16
And as he went on board ship, the man that had been possessed by demons besought him that he might be with him. Mk. 5:18
And he suffered him not, but says to him, Go to thine home to thine own people, and tell them how great things the Lord has done for thee, and has had mercy on thee. Mk. 5:19
And he went away and began to proclaim in the Decapolis how great things Jesus had done for him; and all wondered. Mk. 5:20
And Jesus having passed over in the ship again to the other side, a great crowd gathered to him; and he was by the sea. Mk. 5:21
And behold there comes one of the rulers of the synagogue, by name Jairus, and seeing him, falls down at his feet; Mk. 5:22
having heard concerning Jesus, came in the crowd behind and touched his clothes; Mk. 5:27
And immediately her fountain of blood was dried up, and she knew in her body that she was cured from the scourge. Mk. 5:29
And immediately Jesus, knowing in himself the power that had gone out of him, turning round in the crowd said, Who has touched my clothes? Mk. 5:30
And his disciples said to him, Thou seest the crowd pressing on thee, and sayest thou, Who touched me? Mk. 5:31
But the woman, frightened and trembling, knowing what had taken place in her, came and fell down before him, and told him all the truth. Mk. 5:33
While he was yet speaking, they come from the ruler of the synagogue's house, saying, Thy daughter has died, why troublest thou the teacher any further? Mk. 5:35
But Jesus immediately, having heard the word spoken, says to the ruler of the synagogue, Fear not; only believe. Mk. 5:36
And he suffered no one to accompany him save Peter and James, and John the brother of James. Mk. 5:37
And he comes to the house of the ruler of the synagogue, and sees the tumult, and people weeping and wailing greatly. Mk. 5:38
And entering in he says to them, Why do ye make a tumult and weep? the child has not died, but sleeps. Mk. 5:39
And they derided him. But he, having put them all out, takes with him the father of the child, and the mother, and those that were with him, and enters in where the child was lying. Mk. 5:40
And having laid hold of the hand of the child, he says to her, Talitha koumi, which is, interpreted, Damsel, I say to thee, Arise. Mk. 5:41
And immediately the damsel arose and walked, for she was twelve years old. And they were astonished with great astonishment. Mk. 5:42
And when sabbath was come he began to teach in the synagogue, and many hearing were amazed, saying, Whence has this man these things? and what is the wisdom that is given to him, and such works of power are done by his hands? Mk. 6:2
Is not this the carpenter, the son of Mary, and brother of James, and Joses, and Judas, and Simon? and are not his sisters here with us? And they were offended in him. Mk. 6:3
And he wondered because of their unbelief. And he went round the villages in a circuit, teaching. Mk. 6:6
And he calls the twelve to him; and he began to send them out two and two, and gave to them power over the unclean spirits; Mk. 6:7
and he commanded them that they should take nothing for the way, save a staff only; no scrip, no bread, no money in their belt; Mk. 6:8
And whatsoever place shall not receive you nor hear you, departing thence, shake off the dust which is under your feet for a testimony to them. Mk. 6:11
And Herod the king heard of him (for his name had become public), and said, John the baptist is risen from among the dead, and on this account works of power are wrought by him. Mk. 6:14
And others said, It is Elias; and others said, It is a prophet, as one of the prophets. Mk. 6:15
But Herod when he heard it said, John whom *I* beheaded, he it is; *he* is risen from among the dead. Mk. 6:16
For the same Herod had sent and seized John, and had bound him in prison on account of Herodias, the wife of Philip his brother, because he had married her. Mk. 6:17
For John said to Herod, It is not lawful for thee to have the wife of thy brother. Mk. 6:18
And a holiday being come, when Herod, on his birthday, made a supper to his grandees, and to the chiliarchs, and the chief men of Galilee; Mk. 6:21
and the daughter of the same Herodias having come in, and danced, pleased Herod and those that were with him at table; and the king said to the damsel, Ask of me whatsoever thou wilt and I will give it thee. Mk. 6:22
And she went out, and said to her mother, What should I ask? And she said, The head of John the baptist. Mk. 6:24
And immediately going in with haste to the king, she asked saying, I desire that thou give me directly upon a dish the head of John the baptist. Mk. 6:25
And the king, while made very sorry, on account of the oaths and those lying at table with him would not break his word with her. Mk. 6:26
And immediately the king, having sent one of the guard, ordered his head to be brought. And he went out and beheaded him in the prison, Mk. 6:27
and brought his head upon a dish, and gave it to the damsel, and the damsel gave it to her mother. Mk. 6:28
And the apostles are gathered together to Jesus. And they related to him all things, both what they had done and what they had taught. Mk. 6:30
And many saw them going, and recognised them, and ran together there on foot, out of all the cities, and got there before them. Mk. 6:33
And on leaving the ship Jesus saw a great crowd, and he was moved with compassion for them, because they were as sheep not having a shepherd. And he began to teach them many things. Mk. 6:34
And when it was already late in the day, his disciples coming to him say, The place is desert, and it is already late in the day; Mk. 6:35
send them away that they may go into the country and villages around, and buy themselves bread, for they have not anything they can eat. Mk. 6:36
And he ordered them to make them all sit down by companies on the green grass. Mk. 6:39
And having taken the five loaves and the two fishes, looking up to heaven, he blessed, and broke the loaves, and gave them to his disciples that they might set them before them. And the two fishes he divided among all. Mk. 6:41
And they took up of fragments the fillings of twelve hand-baskets, and of the fishes. Mk. 6:43
And those that ate of the loaves were five thousand men. Mk. 6:44
And immediately he compelled his disciples to go on board ship, and to go on before to the other side to Bethsaida, while *he* sends the crowd away. Mk. 6:45
And, having dismissed them, he departed into the mountain to pray. Mk. 6:46
And when evening was come, the ship was in the midst of the sea, and *he* alone upon the land. Mk. 6:47
And seeing them labouring in rowing, for the wind was contrary to them, about the fourth watch of the night he comes to them walking on the sea, and would have passed them by. Mk. 6:48
But they, seeing him walking on the sea, thought that it was an apparition, and cried out. Mk. 6:49
And he went up to them into the ship, and the wind fell. And they were exceedingly beyond measure astonished in themselves and wondered; Mk. 6:51
for they understood not through the loaves: for their heart was hardened. Mk. 6:52
And having passed over, they came to the land of Gennesaret and made the shore. Mk. 6:53
And on their coming out of the ship, immediately recognising him, Mk. 6:54
And wherever he entered into villages, or cities, or the country, they laid the sick in the market-places, and besought him that they might touch if it were only the hem of his garment; and as many as touched him were healed. Mk. 6:56
And the Pharisees and some of the scribes, coming from Jerusalem, are gathered together to him, Mk. 7:1
(for the Pharisees and all the Jews, unless they wash their hands diligently, do not eat, holding what has been delivered by the ancients; Mk. 7:3
and on coming from the market-place, unless they are washed, they do not eat; and there are many other things which they have received to hold, the washing of cups and vessels, and brazen utensils, and couches), Mk. 7:4
then the Pharisees and the scribes ask him, Why do thy disciples not walk according to what has been delivered by the ancients, but eat the bread with defiled hands? Mk. 7:5
For, leaving the commandment of God, ye hold what is delivered by men to keep -- washings of vessels and cups, and many other such like things ye do. Mk. 7:8
And he said to them, Well do ye set aside the commandment of God, that ye may observe what is delivered by yourselves to keep. Mk. 7:9
making void the word of God by your traditional teaching which ye have delivered; and many such like things ye do. Mk. 7:13
And having called again the crowd, he said to them, Hear me, all of you, and understand: Mk. 7:14
There is nothing from outside a man entering into him which can defile him; but the things which go out from him, those it is which defile the man. Mk. 7:15
And when he went indoors from the crowd, his disciples asked him concerning the parable. Mk. 7:17
And he says to them, Are *ye* also thus unintelligent? Do ye not perceive that all that is outside entering into the man cannot defile him, Mk. 7:18
because it does not enter into his heart but into his belly, and goes out into the draught, purging all meats? Mk. 7:19
And he said, That which goes forth out of the man, that defiles the man. Mk. 7:20
For from within, out of the heart of men, go forth evil thoughts, adulteries, fornications, murders, Mk. 7:21
all these wicked things go forth from within and defile the man. Mk. 7:23
And he rose up and went away thence into the borders of Tyre and Sidon; and having entered into a house he would not have any one know it, and he could not be hid. Mk. 7:24
(and the woman was a Greek, Syrophenician by race), and asked him that he would cast the demon out of her daughter. Mk. 7:26
But Jesus said to her, Suffer the children to be first filled; for it is not right to take the children's bread and cast it to the dogs. Mk. 7:27
But she answered and says to him, Yea, Lord; for even the dogs under the table eat of the children's crumbs. Mk. 7:28
And he said to her, Because of this word, go thy way, the demon is gone out of thy daughter. Mk. 7:29
And having gone away to her house she found the demon gone out, and her daughter lying on the bed. Mk. 7:30
And again having left the borders of Tyre and Sidon, he came to the sea of Galilee, through the midst of the coasts of Decapolis. Mk. 7:31
And having taken him away from the crowd apart, he put his fingers to his ears; and having spit, he touched his tongue; Mk. 7:33
And immediately his ears were opened, and the band of his tongue was loosed and he spoke right. Mk. 7:35
And he charged them that they should speak to no one of it. But so much the more *he* charged them, so much the more abundantly *they* proclaimed it; Mk. 7:36
and they were astonished above measure, saying, He does all things well; he makes both the deaf to hear, and the speechless to speak. Mk. 7:37
I have compassion on the crowd, because they have stayed with me already three days and they have not anything they can eat, Mk. 8:2
and if I should dismiss them to their home fasting, they will faint on the way; for some of them are come from far. Mk. 8:3
And he commanded the crowd to sit down on the ground. And having taken the seven loaves, he gave thanks, and broke them and gave them to his disciples, that they might set them before them; and they set them before the crowd. Mk. 8:6
And immediately going on board ship with his disciples, he came into the parts of Dalmanutha. Mk. 8:10
And the Pharisees went out and began to dispute against him, seeking from him a sign from heaven, tempting him. Mk. 8:11
And he left them, and going again on board ship, went away to the other side. Mk. 8:13
And they forgot to take bread, and save one loaf, they had not any with them in the ship. Mk. 8:14
And he charged them, saying, Take heed, beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and of the leaven of Herod. Mk. 8:15
When I broke the five loaves for the five thousand, how many hand-baskets full of fragments took ye up? They say to him, Twelve. Mk. 8:19
And when the seven for the four thousand, the filling of how many baskets of fragments took ye up? And they said, Seven. Mk. 8:20
And taking hold of the hand of the blind man he led him forth out of the village, and having spit upon his eyes, he laid his hands upon him, and asked him if he beheld anything. Mk. 8:23
And he sent him to his house, saying, Neither enter into the village, nor tell it to any one in the village. Mk. 8:26
And Jesus went forth and his disciples, into the villages of Caesarea-Philippi. And by the way he asked his disciples, saying unto them, Who do men say that I am? Mk. 8:27
And they answered him, saying, John the baptist; and others, Elias; but others, One of the prophets. Mk. 8:28
And he asked them, But *ye*, who do ye say that I am? And Peter answering says to him, *Thou* art the Christ. Mk. 8:29
And he began to teach them that the Son of man must suffer many things, and be rejected of the elders and of the chief priests and of the scribes, and be killed, and after three days rise again. Mk. 8:31
And he spoke the thing openly. And Peter, taking him to him, began to rebuke him. Mk. 8:32
But he, turning round and seeing his disciples, rebuked Peter, saying, Get away behind me, Satan, for thy mind is not on the things that are of God, but on the things that are of men. Mk. 8:33
And having called the crowd with his disciples, he said to them, Whoever desires to come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross and follow me. Mk. 8:34
For whosoever shall desire to save his life shall lose it, but whosoever shall lose his life for my sake and the gospel's shall save it. Mk. 8:35
For what shall it profit a man if he gain the whole world and suffer the loss of his soul? Mk. 8:36
For whosoever shall be ashamed of me and of my words in this adulterous and sinful generation, of him shall the Son of man also be ashamed when he shall come in the glory of his Father with the holy angels. Mk. 8:38
And he said to them, Verily I say unto you, There are some of those standing here that shall not taste death until they shall have seen the kingdom of God come in power. Mk. 9:1
And there came a cloud overshadowing them, and there came a voice out of the cloud, *This* is my beloved Son: hear him. Mk. 9:7
And as they descended from the mountain, he charged them that they should relate to no one what they had seen, unless when the Son of man should be risen from among the dead. Mk. 9:9
And they kept that saying, questioning among themselves, what rising from among the dead was. Mk. 9:10
And they asked him saying, Why do the scribes say that Elias must first have come? Mk. 9:11
And he answering said to them, Elias indeed, having first come, restores all things; and how is it written of the Son of man that he must suffer much, and be set at nought: Mk. 9:12
And when he came to the disciples he saw a great crowd around them, and scribes disputing against them. Mk. 9:14
And immediately all the crowd seeing him were amazed, and running to him, saluted him. Mk. 9:15
And one out of the crowd answered him, Teacher, I brought to thee my son, who has a dumb spirit; Mk. 9:17
And they brought him to him. And seeing him the spirit immediately tore him; and falling upon the earth he rolled foaming. Mk. 9:20
And Jesus said to him, The 'if thou couldst' is if thou couldst believe: all things are possible to him that believes. Mk. 9:23
And immediately the father of the young child crying out said with tears, I believe, help mine unbelief. Mk. 9:24
But Jesus, seeing that the crowd was running up together, rebuked the unclean spirit, saying to him, Thou dumb and deaf spirit, *I* command thee, come out of him, and enter no more into him. Mk. 9:25
And having cried out and torn him much, he came out; and he became as if dead, so that the most said, He is dead. Mk. 9:26
But Jesus, having taken hold of him by the hand, lifted him up, and he arose. Mk. 9:27
And when he was entered into the house, his disciples asked him privately, Wherefore could not *we* cast him out? Mk. 9:28
for he taught his disciples and said to them, The Son of man is delivered into men's hands, and they shall kill him; and having been killed, after three days he shall rise again. Mk. 9:31
But they understood not the saying, and feared to ask him. Mk. 9:32
And he came to Capernaum, and being in the house, he asked them, Of what were ye reasoning by the way? Mk. 9:33
And they remained silent, for by the way they had been reasoning with one another who was greatest. Mk. 9:34
And sitting down he called the twelve; and he says to them, If any one would be first, he shall be last of all, and minister of all. Mk. 9:35
And whosoever shall be a snare to one of the little ones who believe in me, it were better for him if a millstone were hung about his neck, and he cast into the sea. Mk. 9:42
And if thy hand serve as a snare to thee, cut it off: it is better for thee to enter into life maimed, than having thy two hands to go away into hell, into the fire unquenchable; Mk. 9:43
where their worm dies not, and the fire is not quenched. Mk. 9:44
And if thy foot serve as a snare to thee, cut it off: it is better for thee to enter into life lame, than having thy two feet to be cast into hell, into the fire unquenchable; Mk. 9:45
where their worm dies not, and the fire is not quenched. Mk. 9:46
And if thine eye serve as a snare to thee, cast it out: it is better for thee to enter into the kingdom of God with one eye, rather than having two eyes to be cast into the hell of fire, Mk. 9:47
where their worm dies not, and the fire is not quenched. Mk. 9:48
Salt is good, but if the salt is become saltless, wherewith will ye season it? Have salt in yourselves, and be at peace with one another. Mk. 9:50
And rising up thence he comes into the coasts of Judaea, and the other side of the Jordan. And again crowds come together to him, and, as he was accustomed, again he taught them. Mk. 10:1
but from the beginning of the creation God made them male and female. Mk. 10:6
and the two shall be one flesh: so that they are no longer two but one flesh. Mk. 10:8
And again in the house the disciples asked him concerning this. Mk. 10:10
And they brought little children to him that he might touch them. But the disciples rebuked those that brought them. Mk. 10:13
But Jesus seeing it, was indignant, and said to them, Suffer the little children to come to me; forbid them not; for of such is the kingdom of God. Mk. 10:14
Verily I say to you, Whosoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a little child, shall in no wise enter into it. Mk. 10:15
And as he went forth into the way, a person ran up to him, and kneeling to him asked him, Good Teacher, what shall I do that I may inherit eternal life? Mk. 10:17
Thou knowest the commandments: Do not commit adultery, Do not kill, Do not steal, Do not bear false witness, Do not defraud, Honour thy father and mother. Mk. 10:19
And Jesus looking upon him loved him, and said to him, One thing lackest thou: go, sell whatever thou hast and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven; and come, follow me, taking up the cross. Mk. 10:21
But he, sad at the word, went away grieved, for he had large possessions. Mk. 10:22
And Jesus looking around says to his disciples, How difficultly shall they that have riches enter into the kingdom of God! Mk. 10:23
And the disciples were amazed at his words. And Jesus again answering says to them, Children, how difficult it is that those who trust in riches should enter into the kingdom of God! Mk. 10:24
It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God. Mk. 10:25
Jesus answering said, Verily I say to you, There is no one who has left house, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, for my sake and for the sake of the gospel, Mk. 10:29
that shall not receive a hundredfold now in this time: houses, and brethren, and sisters, and mothers, and children, and lands, with persecutions, and in the coming age life eternal. Mk. 10:30
But many first shall be last, and the last first. Mk. 10:31
And they were in the way going up to Jerusalem, and Jesus was going on before them; and they were amazed, and were afraid as they followed. And taking the twelve again to him, he began to tell them what was going to happen to him: Mk. 10:32
Behold, we go up to Jerusalem, and the Son of man shall be delivered up to the chief priests and to the scribes, and they shall condemn him to death, and shall deliver him up to the nations: Mk. 10:33
And there come to him James and John, the sons of Zebedee, saying to him, Teacher, we would that whatsoever we may ask thee, thou wouldst do it for us. Mk. 10:35
And Jesus said to them, Ye do not know what ye ask. Are ye able to drink the cup which *I* drink, or be baptised with the baptism that *I* am baptised with? Mk. 10:38
And they said to him, We are able. And Jesus said to them, The cup that *I* drink ye will drink and with the baptism that *I* am baptised with ye will be baptised, Mk. 10:39
And the ten having heard of it, began to be indignant about James and John. Mk. 10:41
But Jesus having called them to him, says to them, Ye know that those who are esteemed to rule over the nations exercise lordship over them; and their great men exercise authority over them; Mk. 10:42
For also the Son of man did not come to be ministered to, but to minister, and give his life a ransom for many. Mk. 10:45
And they come to Jericho, and as he was going out from Jericho, and his disciples and a large crowd, the son of Timaeus, Bartimaeus, the blind man, sat by the wayside begging. Mk. 10:46
And having heard that it was Jesus the Nazaraean, he began to cry out and to say, O Son of David, Jesus, have mercy on me. Mk. 10:47
And many rebuked him, that he might be silent; but he cried so much the more, Son of David, have mercy on me. Mk. 10:48
And Jesus, standing still, desired him to be called. And they call the blind man, saying to him, Be of good courage, rise up, he calls thee. Mk. 10:49
And Jesus answering says to him, What wilt thou that I shall do to thee? And the blind man said to him, Rabboni, that I may see. Mk. 10:51
And Jesus said to him, Go, thy faith has healed thee. And he saw immediately, and followed him in the way. Mk. 10:52
And when they draw near to Jerusalem, to Bethphage and Bethany, at the mount of Olives, he sends two of his disciples, Mk. 11:1
and says to them, Go into the village which is over against you, and immediately on entering into it ye will find a colt tied, upon which no child of man has ever sat: loose it and lead it here. Mk. 11:2
And if any one say to you, Why do ye this? say, The Lord has need of it; and straightway he sends it hither. Mk. 11:3
And they departed, and found a colt bound to the door without at the crossway, and they loose him. Mk. 11:4
And some of those who stood there said to them, What are ye doing, loosing the colt? Mk. 11:5
And they led the colt to Jesus, and cast their clothes upon it, and he sat on it; Mk. 11:7
and many strewed their clothes on the way, and others cut down branches from the trees and went on strewing them on the way. Mk. 11:8
And those going on before and those following cried out, Hosanna! blessed be he that comes in the Lord's name. Mk. 11:9
Blessed be the coming kingdom of our father David. Hosanna in the highest! Mk. 11:10
And he entered into Jerusalem and into the temple; and having looked round on all things, the hour being already late, he went out to Bethany with the twelve. Mk. 11:11
And on the morrow, when they were gone out of Bethany, he hungered. Mk. 11:12
And seeing from afar off a fig-tree which had leaves, he came, if perhaps he might find something on it. And having come up to it he found nothing but leaves, for it was not the time of figs. Mk. 11:13
And they come to Jerusalem, and entering into the temple, he began to cast out those who sold and who bought in the temple, and he overthrew the tables of the moneychangers and the seats of the dove-sellers, Mk. 11:15
and suffered not that any one should carry any package through the temple. Mk. 11:16
And he taught saying to them, Is it not written, My house shall be called a house of prayer for all the nations? but *ye* have made it a den of robbers. Mk. 11:17
And the chief priests and the scribes heard it, and they sought how they might destroy him; for they feared him, because all the crowd were astonished at his doctrine. Mk. 11:18
And when it was evening he went forth without the city. Mk. 11:19
And passing by early in the morning they saw the fig-tree dried up from the roots. Mk. 11:20
And Peter, remembering what Jesus had said, says to him, Rabbi, see, the fig-tree which thou cursedst is dried up. Mk. 11:21
Verily I say to you, that whosoever shall say to this mountain, Be thou taken away and cast into the sea, and shall not doubt in his heart, but believe that what he says takes place, whatever he shall say shall come to pass for him. Mk. 11:23
And when ye stand praying, forgive if ye have anything against any one, that your Father also who is in the heavens may forgive you your offences. Mk. 11:25
But if *ye* do not forgive, neither will your Father who is in the heavens forgive your offences. Mk. 11:26
And they come again to Jerusalem. And as he walked about in the temple, the chief priests and the scribes and the elders come to him, Mk. 11:27
The baptism of John, was it of heaven, or of men? answer me. Mk. 11:30
but should we say, Of men -- they feared the people; for all held of John that he was truly a prophet. Mk. 11:32
And he began to say to them in parables, A man planted a vineyard, and made a fence round it and dug a wine-vat, and built a tower, and let it out to husbandmen, and left the country. Mk. 12:1
And he sent a bondman to the husbandmen at the season, that he might receive from the husbandmen of the fruit of the vineyard. Mk. 12:2
And again he sent to them another bondman; and at him they threw stones, and struck him on the head, and sent him away with insult. Mk. 12:4
Having yet therefore one beloved son, he sent also him to them the last, saying, They will have respect for my son. Mk. 12:6
But those husbandmen said to one another, This is the heir: come, let us kill him and the inheritance will be ours. Mk. 12:7
And they took him and killed him, and cast him forth out of the vineyard. Mk. 12:8
What therefore shall the lord of the vineyard do? He will come and destroy the husbandmen, and will give the vineyard to others. Mk. 12:9
Have ye not even read this scripture, The stone which they that builded rejected, this has become the corner-stone: Mk. 12:10
this is of the Lord, and it is wonderful in our eyes? Mk. 12:11
And they sought to lay hold of him, and they feared the crowd; for they knew that he had spoken the parable of them. And they left him and went away. Mk. 12:12
And they send to him certain of the Pharisees and of the Herodians, that they might catch him in speaking. Mk. 12:13
And they come and say to him, Teacher, we know that thou art true, and carest not for any one; for thou regardest not men's person, but teachest the way of God with truth: Is it lawful to give tribute to Caesar or not? Mk. 12:14
There were seven brethren; and the first took a wife, and dying did not leave seed; Mk. 12:20
and the second took her and died, and neither did he leave seed; and the third likewise. Mk. 12:21
And the seven took her and did not leave seed. Last of all the woman also died. Mk. 12:22
In the resurrection, when they shall rise again, of which of them shall she be wife, for the seven had her as wife? Mk. 12:23
And Jesus answering said to them, Do not ye therefore err, not knowing the scriptures, nor the power of God? Mk. 12:24
For when they rise from among the dead they neither marry, nor are given in marriage, but are as angels who are in the heavens. Mk. 12:25
But concerning the dead that they rise, have ye not read in the book of Moses, in the section of the bush, how God spoke to him, saying, *I* am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob? Mk. 12:26
He is not the God of the dead, but of the living. *Ye* therefore greatly err. Mk. 12:27
And one of the scribes who had come up, and had heard them reasoning together, perceiving that he had answered them well, demanded of him, Which is the first commandment of all? Mk. 12:28
And Jesus answered him, The first commandment of all is, Hear, Israel: the Lord our God is one Lord; Mk. 12:29
and thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thine understanding, and with all thy strength. This is the first commandment. Mk. 12:30
And the scribe said to him, Right, teacher; thou hast spoken according to the truth. For he is one, and there is none other besides him; Mk. 12:32
and to love him with all the heart, and with all the intelligence, and with all the soul, and with all the strength, and to love one's neighbour as one's self, is more than all the burnt-offerings and sacrifices. Mk. 12:33
And Jesus, seeing that he had answered intelligently, said to him, Thou art not far from the kingdom of God. And no one dared question him any more. Mk. 12:34
And Jesus answering said as he was teaching in the temple, How do the scribes say that the Christ is son of David? Mk. 12:35
for David himself said speaking in the Holy Spirit, The Lord said to my Lord, Sit on my right hand until I put thine enemies as footstool of thy feet. Mk. 12:36
David himself therefore calls him Lord, and whence is he his son? And the mass of the people heard him gladly. Mk. 12:37
And he said to them in his doctrine, Beware of the scribes, who like to walk about in long robes, and salutations in the marketplaces, Mk. 12:38
and first seats in the synagogues, and first places at suppers; Mk. 12:39
who devour the houses of widows, and as a pretext make long prayers. These shall receive a severer judgment. Mk. 12:40
And Jesus, having sat down opposite the treasury, saw how the crowd was casting money into the treasury; and many rich cast in much. Mk. 12:41
And having called his disciples to him he said to them, Verily I say unto you, This poor widow has cast in more than all who have cast into the treasury: Mk. 12:43
for all have cast in of that which they had in abundance, but she of her destitution has cast in all that she had, the whole of her living. Mk. 12:44
And as he was going out of the temple, one of his disciples says to him, Teacher, see what stones and what buildings! Mk. 13:1
And as he sat on the mount of Olives opposite the temple, Peter and James and John and Andrew asked him privately, Mk. 13:3
Tell us, when shall these things be, and what is the sign when all these things are going to be fulfilled? Mk. 13:4
But when ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars, be not disturbed, for this must happen, but the end is not yet. Mk. 13:7
For nation shall rise up against nation, and kingdom against kingdom; and there shall be earthquakes in different places, and there shall be famines and troubles: these things are the beginnings of throes. Mk. 13:8
and the gospel must first be preached to all the nations. Mk. 13:10
But when they shall lead you away to deliver you up, be not careful beforehand as to what ye shall say, nor prepare your discourse: but whatsoever shall be given you in that hour, that speak; for *ye* are not the speakers, but the Holy Spirit. Mk. 13:11
And ye will be hated of all on account of my name; but he that has endured to the end, *he* shall be saved. Mk. 13:13
But when ye shall see the abomination of desolation standing where it should not, (he that reads let him consider it,) then let those in Judaea flee to the mountains; Mk. 13:14
and him that is upon the housetop not come down into the house, nor enter into it to take away anything out of his house; Mk. 13:15
and him that is in the field not return back to take his garment. Mk. 13:16
for those days shall be distress such as there has not been the like since the beginning of creation which God created, until now, and never shall be; Mk. 13:19
and if the Lord had not cut short those days, no flesh should have been saved; but on account of the elect whom he has chosen, he has cut short those days. Mk. 13:20
And then if any one say to you, Lo, here is the Christ, or Lo, there, believe it not. Mk. 13:21
For false Christs and false prophets will arise, and give signs and wonders to deceive, if possible, even the elect. Mk. 13:22
But in those days, after that distress, the sun shall be darkened and the moon shall not give its light; Mk. 13:24
and the stars of heaven shall be falling down, and the powers which are in the heavens shall be shaken; Mk. 13:25
and then shall they see the Son of man coming in clouds with great power and glory; Mk. 13:26
and then shall he send his angels and shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from end of earth to end of heaven. Mk. 13:27
But learn the parable from the fig-tree: when its branch already becomes tender and puts forth the leaves, ye know that the summer is near. Mk. 13:28
Thus also *ye*, when ye see these things happening, know that it is near, at the doors. Mk. 13:29
The heaven and the earth shall pass away, but my words shall in no wise pass away. Mk. 13:31
But of that day or of that hour no one knows, neither the angels who are in heaven, nor the Son, but the Father. Mk. 13:32
Take heed, watch and pray, for ye do not know when the time is: Mk. 13:33
it is as a man gone out of the country, having left his house and given to his bondmen the authority, and to each one his work, and commanded the doorkeeper that he should watch. Mk. 13:34
Watch therefore, for ye do not know when the master of the house comes: evening, or midnight, or cock-crow, or morning; Mk. 13:35
Now the passover and the feast of unleavened bread was after two days. And the chief priests and the scribes were seeking how they might seize him by subtlety and kill him. Mk. 14:1
For they said, Not in the feast, lest perhaps there be a tumult of the people. Mk. 14:2
And when he was in Bethany, in the house of Simon the leper, as he lay at table, there came a woman having an alabaster flask of ointment of pure nard, very costly; and having broken the alabaster flask, she poured it out upon his head. Mk. 14:3
And there were some indignant in themselves, and saying, Why has this waste been made of the ointment? Mk. 14:4
for this ointment could have been sold for more than three hundred denarii and given to the poor. And they spoke very angrily at her. Mk. 14:5
for ye have the poor always with you, and whenever ye would ye can do them good; but me ye have not always. Mk. 14:7
What *she* could she has done. She has beforehand anointed my body for the burial. Mk. 14:8
And verily I say unto you, Wheresoever these glad tidings may be preached in the whole world, what this woman has done shall be also spoken of for a memorial of her. Mk. 14:9
And Judas Iscariote, one of the twelve, went away to the chief priests that he might deliver him up to them; Mk. 14:10
And the first day of unleavened bread, when they slew the passover, his disciples say to him, Where wilt thou that we go and prepare, that thou mayest eat the passover? Mk. 14:12
And he sends two of his disciples, and says to them, Go into the city, and a man shall meet you carrying a pitcher of water; follow him. Mk. 14:13
And wheresoever he enters, say to the master of the house, The Teacher says, Where is my guest-chamber where I may eat the passover with my disciples? Mk. 14:14
And his disciples went away and came into the city, and found as he had said to them; and they made ready the passover. Mk. 14:16
And when evening was come, he comes with the twelve. Mk. 14:17
But he answered and said to them, One of the twelve, he who dips with me in the dish. Mk. 14:20
The Son of man goes indeed as it is written concerning him, but woe to that man by whom the Son of man is delivered up; it were good for that man if he had not been born. Mk. 14:21
And having taken the cup, when he had given thanks, he gave it to them, and they all drank out of it. Mk. 14:23
And he said to them, This is my blood, that of the new covenant, that shed for many. Mk. 14:24
Verily I say to you, I will no more drink at all of the fruit of the vine, until that day when I drink it new in the kingdom of God. Mk. 14:25
And having sung a hymn, they went out to the mount of Olives. Mk. 14:26
And Jesus says to them, All ye shall be offended, for it is written, I will smite the shepherd, and the sheep shall be scattered abroad. Mk. 14:27
And Jesus says to him, Verily I say to thee, that thou to-day, in this night, before the cock shall crow twice, thou shalt thrice deny me. Mk. 14:30
But he said so much exceedingly the more, If I should have to die with thee, I will in no wise deny thee. And likewise said they all too. Mk. 14:31
And they come to a place of which the name is Gethsemane, and he says to his disciples, Sit here while I shall pray. Mk. 14:32
And, going forward a little, he fell upon the earth; and he prayed that, if it were possible, the hour might pass away from him. Mk. 14:35
Watch and pray, that ye enter not into temptation. The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh weak. Mk. 14:38
And going away, he prayed again, saying the same thing. Mk. 14:39
And he comes the third time and says to them, Sleep on now, and take your rest. It is enough; the hour is come; behold, the Son of man is delivered up into the hands of sinners. Mk. 14:41
And immediately, while he was yet speaking, Judas comes up, being one of the twelve, and with him a great crowd, with swords and sticks, from the chief priests and the scribes and the elders. Mk. 14:43
But a certain one of those who stood by, having drawn his sword, struck the bondman of the high priest, and took off his ear. Mk. 14:47
I was daily with you teaching in the temple, and ye did not seize me; but it is that the scriptures may be fulfilled. Mk. 14:49
And a certain young man followed him with a linen cloth cast about his naked body; and the young men seize him; Mk. 14:51
but he, leaving the linen cloth behind him, fled from them naked. Mk. 14:52
And they led away Jesus to the high priest. And there come together to him all the chief priests and the elders and the scribes. Mk. 14:53
And Peter followed him at a distance, till he was within the court of the high priest's palace; and he was sitting with the officers and warming himself in the light of the fire. Mk. 14:54
And the chief priests and the whole sanhedrim sought testimony against Jesus to cause him to be put to death, and did not find any. Mk. 14:55
*We* heard him saying, *I* will destroy this temple which is made with hands, and in the course of three days I will build another not made with hands. Mk. 14:58
And the high priest, rising up before them all, asked Jesus, saying, Answerest thou nothing? What do these testify against thee? Mk. 14:60
But he was silent, and answered nothing. Again the high priest asked him, and says to him, *Thou* art the Christ, the Son of the Blessed? Mk. 14:61
And Jesus said, *I* am, and ye shall see the Son of man sitting at the right hand of power, and coming with the clouds of heaven. Mk. 14:62
And the high priest, having rent his clothes, says, What need have we any more of witnesses? Mk. 14:63
Ye have heard the blasphemy; what think ye? And they all condemned him to be guilty of death. Mk. 14:64
And some began to spit upon him, and cover up his face, and buffet him, and say to him, Prophesy; and the officers struck him with the palms of their hands. Mk. 14:65
And Peter being below in the palace-court, there comes one of the maids of the high priest, Mk. 14:66
and seeing Peter warming himself, having looked at him, says, And *thou* wast with the Nazarene, Jesus. Mk. 14:67
But he denied, saying, I know not nor understand what thou sayest. And he went out into the vestibule; and a cock crew. Mk. 14:68
And the maid, seeing him, again began to say to those that stood by, This is one of them. Mk. 14:69
And the second time a cock crew. And Peter remembered the word that Jesus said to him, Before the cock crow twice, thou shalt deny me thrice; and when he thought thereon he wept. Mk. 14:72
And immediately in the morning the chief priests, having taken counsel with the elders and scribes and the whole sanhedrim, bound Jesus and carried him away, and delivered him up to Pilate. Mk. 15:1
And Pilate asked him, Art *thou* the King of the Jews? And he answered and said to him, *Thou* sayest. Mk. 15:2
And the chief priests accused him urgently. Mk. 15:3
But at the feast he released to them one prisoner, whomsoever they begged of him. Mk. 15:6
Now there was the person named Barabbas bound with those who had made insurrection with him, and that had committed murder in the insurrection. Mk. 15:7
And the crowd crying out began to beg that he would do to them as he had always done. Mk. 15:8
But Pilate answered them saying, Will ye that I release to you the King of the Jews? Mk. 15:9
for he knew that the chief priests had delivered him up through envy. Mk. 15:10
But the chief priests stirred up the crowd that he might rather release Barabbas to them. Mk. 15:11
And Pilate answering said to them again, What will ye then that I do to him whom ye call King of the Jews? Mk. 15:12
And Pilate said to them, What evil then has he done? But they cried out the more urgently, Crucify him. Mk. 15:14
And Pilate, desirous of contenting the crowd, released to them Barabbas, and delivered up Jesus, when he had scourged him, that he might be crucified. Mk. 15:15
And the soldiers led him away into the court which is called the praetorium, and they call together the whole band. Mk. 15:16
And they began to salute him, Hail, King of the Jews! Mk. 15:18
And they struck his head with a reed, and spat on him, and, bending the knee, did him homage. Mk. 15:19
And when they had mocked him, they took the purple off him, and put his own clothes on him; and they lead him out that they may crucify him. Mk. 15:20
And they compel to go with them a certain passer-by, Simon, a Cyrenian, coming from the field, the father of Alexander and Rufus, that he might carry his cross. Mk. 15:21
And they bring him to the place called Golgotha, which, being interpreted, is Place of a skull. Mk. 15:22
And it was the third hour, and they crucified him. Mk. 15:25
And the superscription of what he was accused of was written up: The King of the Jews. Mk. 15:26
And the scripture was fulfilled which says, And he was reckoned with the lawless. Mk. 15:28
And they that passed by reviled him, shaking their heads, and saying, Aha, thou that destroyest the temple and buildest it in three days, Mk. 15:29
save thyself, and descend from the cross. Mk. 15:30
In like manner the chief priests also, with the scribes, mocking with one another, said, He saved others; himself he cannot save. Mk. 15:31
Let the Christ the King of Israel descend now from the cross, that we may see and may believe. And they that were crucified with him reproached him. Mk. 15:32
And when the sixth hour was come, there came darkness over the whole land until the ninth hour; Mk. 15:33
and at the ninth hour, Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani? which is, being interpreted, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me? Mk. 15:34
And the veil of the temple was rent in two from the top to the bottom. Mk. 15:38
And the centurion who stood by over against him, when he saw that he had expired having thus cried out, said, Truly this man was Son of God. Mk. 15:39
And there were women also looking on from afar off, among whom were both Mary of Magdala, and Mary the mother of James the less and of Joses, and Salome; Mk. 15:40
And when it was already evening, since it was the preparation, that is, the day before a sabbath, Mk. 15:42
Joseph of Arimathaea, an honourable councillor, who also himself was awaiting the kingdom of God, coming, emboldened himself and went in to Pilate and begged the body of Jesus. Mk. 15:43
And Pilate wondered if he were already dead; and having called to him the centurion, he inquired of him if he had long died. Mk. 15:44
And when he knew from the centurion, he granted the body to Joseph. Mk. 15:45
And having bought fine linen, and having taken him down, he swathed him in the fine linen, and laid him in a sepulchre which was cut out of rock, and rolled a stone to the door of the sepulchre. Mk. 15:46
And Mary of Magdala and Mary the mother of Joses saw where he was put. Mk. 15:47
And the sabbath being now past, Mary of Magdala, and Mary the mother of James, and Salome, bought aromatic spices that they might come and embalm him. Mk. 16:1
And very early on the first day of the week they come to the sepulchre, the sun having risen. Mk. 16:2
And they said to one another, Who shall roll us away the stone out of the door of the sepulchre? Mk. 16:3
And when they looked, they see that the stone has been rolled away, for it was very great. Mk. 16:4
And entering into the sepulchre, they saw a young man sitting on the right, clothed in a white robe, and they were amazed and alarmed; Mk. 16:5
but he says to them, Be not alarmed. Ye seek Jesus, the Nazarene, the crucified one. He is risen, he is not here; behold the place where they had put him. Mk. 16:6
And they went out, and fled from the sepulchre. And trembling and excessive amazement possessed them, and they said nothing to any one, for they were afraid. Mk. 16:8
Now when he had risen very early, the first day of the week, he appeared first to Mary of Magdala, out of whom he had cast seven demons. Mk. 16:9
And after these things he was manifested in another form to two of them as they walked, going into the country; Mk. 16:12
and *they* went and brought word to the rest; neither did they believe them. Mk. 16:13
Afterwards as they lay at table he was manifested to the eleven, and reproached them with their unbelief and hardness of heart, because they had not believed those who had seen him risen. Mk. 16:14
And he said to them, Go into all the world, and preach the glad tidings to all the creation. Mk. 16:15
they shall take up serpents; and if they should drink any deadly thing it shall not injure them; they shall lay hands upon the infirm, and they shall be well. Mk. 16:18
The Lord therefore, after he had spoken to them, was taken up into heaven, and sat at the right hand of God. Mk. 16:19
And they, going forth, preached everywhere, the Lord working with them, and confirming the word by the signs following upon it. Mk. 16:20
Forasmuch as many have undertaken to draw up a relation concerning the matters fully believed among us, Lk. 1:1
as those who from the beginning were eye-witnesses of and attendants on the Word have delivered them to us, Lk. 1:2
it has seemed good to *me* also, accurately acquainted from the origin with all things, to write to thee with method, most excellent Theophilus, Lk. 1:3
that thou mightest know the certainty of those things in which thou hast been instructed. Lk. 1:4
There was in the days of Herod, the king of Judaea, a certain priest, by name Zacharias, of the course of Abia, and his wife of the daughters of Aaron, and her name Elizabeth. Lk. 1:5
And they were both just before God, walking in all the commandments and ordinances of the Lord blameless. Lk. 1:6
And it came to pass, as he fulfilled his priestly service before God in the order of his course, Lk. 1:8
it fell to him by lot, according to the custom of the priesthood, to enter into the temple of the Lord to burn incense. Lk. 1:9
And all the multitude of the people were praying without at the hour of incense. Lk. 1:10
And an angel of the Lord appeared to him, standing on the right of the altar of incense. Lk. 1:11
But the angel said to him, Fear not, Zacharias, because thy supplication has been heard, and thy wife Elizabeth shall bear thee a son, and thou shalt call his name John. Lk. 1:13
For he shall be great before the Lord, and he shall drink no wine nor strong drink; and he shall be filled with the Holy Spirit, even from his mother's womb. Lk. 1:15
And many of the sons of Israel shall he turn to the Lord their God. Lk. 1:16
And *he* shall go before him in the spirit and power of Elias, to turn hearts of fathers to children, and disobedient ones to the thoughts of just men, to make ready for the Lord a prepared people. Lk. 1:17
And Zacharias said to the angel, How shall I know this, for *I* am an old man, and my wife advanced in years? Lk. 1:18
And the angel answering, said to him, *I* am Gabriel, who stand before God, and I have been sent to speak to thee, and to bring these glad tidings to thee; Lk. 1:19
and behold, thou shalt be silent and not able to speak, till the day in which these things shall take place, because thou hast not believed my words, the which shall be fulfilled in their time. Lk. 1:20
And the people were awaiting Zacharias, and they wondered at his delaying in the temple. Lk. 1:21
But when he came out he could not speak to them, and they recognised that he had seen a vision in the temple. And he was making signs to them, and continued dumb. Lk. 1:22
And it came to pass, when the days of his service were completed, he departed to his house. Lk. 1:23
Thus has the Lord done to me in these days in which he looked upon me to take away my reproach among men. Lk. 1:25
But in the sixth month, the angel Gabriel was sent of God to a city of Galilee, of which the name was Nazareth, Lk. 1:26
to a virgin betrothed to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David; and the virgin's name was Mary. Lk. 1:27
And the angel came in to her, and said, Hail, thou favoured one! the Lord is with thee: blessed art *thou* amongst women. Lk. 1:28
But she, seeing the angel, was troubled at his word, and reasoned in her mind what this salutation might be. Lk. 1:29
And the angel said to her, Fear not, Mary, for thou hast found favour with God; Lk. 1:30
and behold, thou shalt conceive in the womb and bear a son, and thou shalt call his name Jesus. Lk. 1:31
*He* shall be great, and shall be called Son of the Highest; and the Lord God shall give him the throne of David his father; Lk. 1:32
and he shall reign over the house of Jacob for the ages, and of his kingdom there shall not be an end. Lk. 1:33
But Mary said to the angel, How shall this be, since I know not a man? Lk. 1:34
And the angel answering said to her, The Holy Spirit shall come upon thee, and power of the Highest overshadow thee, wherefore the holy thing also which shall be born shall be called Son of God. Lk. 1:35
And behold, Elizabeth, thy kinswoman, she also has conceived a son in her old age, and this is the sixth month to her that was called barren: Lk. 1:36
And Mary said, Behold the bondmaid of the Lord; be it to me according to thy word. And the angel departed from her. Lk. 1:38
And Mary, rising up in those days, went into the hill country with haste, to a city of Judah, Lk. 1:39
and entered into the house of Zacharias, and saluted Elizabeth. Lk. 1:40
And it came to pass, as Elizabeth heard the salutation of Mary, the babe leaped in her womb; and Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit, Lk. 1:41
and cried out with a loud voice and said, Blessed art *thou* amongst women, and blessed the fruit of thy womb. Lk. 1:42
And whence is this to me, that the mother of my Lord should come to me? Lk. 1:43
For behold, as the voice of thy salutation sounded in my ears, the babe leaped with joy in my womb. Lk. 1:44
And blessed is she that has believed, for there shall be a fulfilment of the things spoken to her from the Lord. Lk. 1:45
And Mary said, My soul magnifies the Lord, Lk. 1:46
For he has looked upon the low estate of his bondmaid; for behold, from henceforth all generations shall call me blessed. Lk. 1:48
For the Mighty One has done to me great things, and holy is his name; Lk. 1:49
He has wrought strength with his arm; he has scattered haughty ones in the thought of their heart. Lk. 1:51
He has put down rulers from thrones, and exalted the lowly. Lk. 1:52
He has filled the hungry with good things, and sent away the rich empty. Lk. 1:53
But the time was fulfilled for Elizabeth that she should bring forth, and she gave birth to a son. Lk. 1:57
And her neighbours and kinsfolk heard that the Lord had magnified his mercy with her, and they rejoiced with her. Lk. 1:58
And it came to pass on the eighth day they came to circumcise the child, and they called it after the name of his father, Zacharias. Lk. 1:59
And fear came upon all who dwelt round about them; and in the whole hill-country of Judaea all these things were the subject of conversation. Lk. 1:65
And all who heard them laid them up in their heart, saying, What then will this child be? And the Lord's hand was with him. Lk. 1:66
And Zacharias his father was filled with the Holy Spirit, and prophesied, saying, Lk. 1:67
Blessed be the Lord the God of Israel, because he has visited and wrought redemption for his people, Lk. 1:68
and raised up a horn of deliverance for us in the house of David his servant; Lk. 1:69
as he spoke by the mouth of his holy prophets, who have been since the world began; Lk. 1:70
deliverance from our enemies and out of the hand of all who hate us; Lk. 1:71
the oath which he swore to Abraham our father, Lk. 1:73
to give us, that, saved out of the hand of our enemies, we should serve him without fear Lk. 1:74
And *thou*, child, shalt be called the prophet of the Highest; for thou shalt go before the face of the Lord to make ready his ways; Lk. 1:76
to give knowledge of deliverance to his people by the remission of their sins Lk. 1:77
on account of the bowels of mercy of our God; wherein the dayspring from on high has visited us, Lk. 1:78
to shine upon them who were sitting in darkness and in the shadow of death, to guide our feet into the way of peace. Lk. 1:79
-- And the child grew and was strengthened in spirit; and he was in the deserts until the day of his shewing to Israel. Lk. 1:80
But it came to pass in those days that a decree went out from Caesar Augustus, that a census should be made of all the habitable world. Lk. 2:1
The census itself first took place when Cyrenius had the government of Syria. Lk. 2:2
And all went to be inscribed in the census roll, each to his own city: Lk. 2:3
and Joseph also went up from Galilee out of the city Nazareth to Judaea, to David's city, the which is called Bethlehem, because he was of the house and family of David, Lk. 2:4
to be inscribed in the census roll with Mary who was betrothed to him as his wife, she being great with child. Lk. 2:5
And it came to pass, while they were there, the days of her giving birth to her child were fulfilled, Lk. 2:6
and she brought forth her first-born son, and wrapped him up in swaddling-clothes and laid him in the manger, because there was no room for them in the inn. Lk. 2:7
And lo, an angel of the Lord was there by them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they feared with great fear. Lk. 2:9
And the angel said to them, Fear not, for behold, I announce to you glad tidings of great joy, which shall be to all the people; Lk. 2:10
for to-day a Saviour has been born to you in David's city, who is Christ the Lord. Lk. 2:11
And this is the sign to you: ye shall find a babe wrapped in swaddling-clothes, and lying in a manger. Lk. 2:12
And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host, praising God and saying, Lk. 2:13
Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good pleasure in men. Lk. 2:14
And it came to pass, as the angels departed from them into heaven, that the shepherds said to one another, Let us make our way then now as far as Bethlehem, and let us see this thing that is come to pass, which the Lord has made known to us. Lk. 2:15
And they came with haste, and found both Mary and Joseph, and the babe lying in the manger; Lk. 2:16
and having seen it they made known about the country the thing which had been said to them concerning this child. Lk. 2:17
And all who heard it wondered at the things said to them by the shepherds. Lk. 2:18
And the shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all things which they had heard and seen, as it had been said to them. Lk. 2:20
And when eight days were fulfilled for circumcising him, his name was called Jesus, which was the name given by the angel before he had been conceived in the womb. Lk. 2:21
And when the days were fulfilled for their purifying according to the law of Moses, they brought him to Jerusalem to present him to the Lord Lk. 2:22
(as it is written in the law of the Lord: Every male that opens the womb shall be called holy to the Lord), Lk. 2:23
and to offer a sacrifice according to what is said in the law of the Lord: A pair of turtle doves, or two young pigeons. Lk. 2:24
And behold, there was a man in Jerusalem whose name was Simeon; and this man was just and pious, awaiting the consolation of Israel, and the Holy Spirit was upon him. Lk. 2:25
And it was divinely communicated to him by the Holy Spirit, that he should not see death before he should see the Lord's Christ. Lk. 2:26
And he came in the Spirit into the temple; and as the parents brought in the child Jesus that they might do for him according to the custom of the law, Lk. 2:27
which thou hast prepared before the face of all peoples; Lk. 2:31
a light for revelation of the Gentiles and the glory of thy people Israel. Lk. 2:32
And his father and mother wondered at the things which were said concerning him. Lk. 2:33
And Simeon blessed them, and said to Mary his mother, Lo, this child is set for the fall and rising up of many in Israel, and for a sign spoken against; Lk. 2:34
(and even a sword shall go through thine own soul;) so that the thoughts may be revealed from many hearts. Lk. 2:35
And there was a prophetess, Anna, daughter of Phanuel, of the tribe of Asher, who was far advanced in years, having lived with her husband seven years from her virginity, Lk. 2:36
and herself a widow up to eighty-four years; who did not depart from the temple, serving night and day with fastings and prayers; Lk. 2:37
and she coming up the same hour gave praise to the Lord, and spoke of him to all those who waited for redemption in Jerusalem. Lk. 2:38
And when they had completed all things according to the law of the Lord, they returned to Galilee to their own city Nazareth. Lk. 2:39
And the child grew and waxed strong in spirit, filled with wisdom, and God's grace was upon him. Lk. 2:40
And his parents went yearly to Jerusalem at the feast of the passover. Lk. 2:41
And when he was twelve years old, and they went up to Jerusalem according to the custom of the feast Lk. 2:42
and had completed the days, as they returned, the boy Jesus remained behind in Jerusalem, and his parents knew not of it; Lk. 2:43
but, supposing him to be in the company that journeyed together, they went a day's journey, and sought him among their relations and acquaintances: Lk. 2:44
And it came to pass, after three days they found him in the temple, sitting in the midst of the teachers and hearing them and asking them questions. Lk. 2:46
And they understood not the thing that he said to them. Lk. 2:50
Now in the fifteenth year of the government of Tiberius Caesar, Pontius Pilate being governor of Judaea, and Herod tetrarch of Galilee, and Philip his brother tetrarch of Ituraea and the region of Trachonitis, and Lysanias tetrarch of Abilene, Lk. 3:1
in the high priesthood of Annas and Caiaphas, the word of God came upon John, the son of Zacharias, in the wilderness. Lk. 3:2
And he came into all the district round the Jordan, preaching the baptism of repentance for the remission of sins, Lk. 3:3
as it is written in the book of the words of Esaias the prophet: Voice of one crying in the wilderness: Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make straight his paths. Lk. 3:4
Every gorge shall be filled up, and every mountain and hill shall be brought low, and the crooked places shall become a straight path, and the rough places smooth ways, Lk. 3:5
and all flesh shall see the salvation of God. Lk. 3:6
He said therefore to the crowds which went out to be baptised by him, Offspring of vipers, who has forewarned you to flee from the coming wrath? Lk. 3:7
And already also the axe is applied to the root of the trees; every tree therefore not producing good fruit is cut down and cast into the fire. Lk. 3:9
And the crowds asked him saying, What should we do then? Lk. 3:10
But as the people were in expectation, and all were reasoning in their hearts concerning John whether *he* might be the Christ, Lk. 3:15
John answered all, saying, *I* indeed baptise you with water, but the mightier than I is coming, the thong of whose sandals I am not fit to unloose; *he* shall baptise you with the Holy Spirit and fire; Lk. 3:16
whose winnowing-fan is in his hand, and he will thoroughly purge his threshing-floor, and will gather the wheat into his garner, but the chaff he will burn with fire unquenchable. Lk. 3:17
Exhorting then many other things also he announced his glad tidings to the people. Lk. 3:18
But Herod the tetrarch, being reproved by him as to Herodias, the wife of his brother, and as to all the wicked things which Herod had done, Lk. 3:19
added this also to all the rest, that he shut up John in prison. Lk. 3:20
And it came to pass, all the people having been baptised, and Jesus having been baptised and praying, that the heaven was opened, Lk. 3:21
and the Holy Spirit descended in a bodily form as a dove upon him; and a voice came out of heaven, *Thou* art my beloved Son, in thee I have found my delight. Lk. 3:22
But Jesus, full of the Holy Spirit, returned from the Jordan, and was led by the Spirit in the wilderness Lk. 4:1
forty days, tempted of the devil; and in those days he did not eat anything, and when they were finished he hungered. Lk. 4:2
And the devil said to him, If thou be Son of God, speak to this stone, that it become bread. Lk. 4:3
And the devil, leading him up into a high mountain, shewed him all the kingdoms of the habitable world in a moment of time. Lk. 4:5
And the devil said to him, I will give thee all this power, and their glory; for it is given up to me, and to whomsoever I will I give it. Lk. 4:6
And Jesus answering him said, It is written, Thou shalt do homage to the Lord thy God, and him alone shalt thou serve. Lk. 4:8
And he led him to Jerusalem, and set him on the edge of the temple, and said to him, If thou be Son of God, cast thyself down hence; Lk. 4:9
And Jesus answering said to him, It is said, Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God. Lk. 4:12
And the devil, having completed every temptation, departed from him for a time. Lk. 4:13
And Jesus returned in the power of the Spirit to Galilee; and a rumour went out into the whole surrounding country about him; Lk. 4:14
And he came to Nazareth, where he was brought up; and he entered, according to his custom, into the synagogue on the sabbath day, and stood up to read. Lk. 4:16
And the book of the prophet Esaias was given to him; and having unrolled the book he found the place where it was written, Lk. 4:17
The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he has anointed me to preach glad tidings to the poor; he has sent me to preach to captives deliverance, and to the blind sight, to send forth the crushed delivered, Lk. 4:18
to preach the acceptable year of the Lord. Lk. 4:19
And having rolled up the book, when he had delivered it up to the attendant, he sat down; and the eyes of all in the synagogue were fixed upon him. Lk. 4:20
And all bore witness to him, and wondered at the words of grace which were coming out of his mouth. And they said, Is not this the son of Joseph? Lk. 4:22
But of a truth I say to you, There were many widows in Israel in the days of Elias, when the heaven was shut up for three years and six months, so that a great famine came upon all the land, Lk. 4:25
And there were many lepers in Israel in the time of Elisha the prophet, and none of them was cleansed but Naaman the Syrian. Lk. 4:27
And they were all filled with rage in the synagogue, hearing these things; Lk. 4:28
and rising up they cast him forth out of the city, and led him up to the brow of the mountain upon which their city was built, so that they might throw him down the precipice; Lk. 4:29
but *he*, passing through the midst of them, went his way, Lk. 4:30
and descended to Capernaum, a city of Galilee, and taught them on the sabbaths. Lk. 4:31
And there was in the synagogue a man having a spirit of an unclean demon, and he cried with a loud voice, Lk. 4:33
saying, Eh! what have we to do with thee, Jesus, Nazarene? hast thou come to destroy us? I know thee who thou art, the Holy One of God. Lk. 4:34
And Jesus rebuked him, saying, Hold thy peace, and come out from him. And the demon, having thrown him down into the midst, came out from him without doing him any injury. Lk. 4:35
And astonishment came upon all, and they spoke to one another, saying, What word is this? for with authority and power he commands the unclean spirits, and they come out. Lk. 4:36
And a rumour went out into every place of the country round concerning him. Lk. 4:37
And rising up out of the synagogue, he entered into the house of Simon. But Simon's mother-in-law was suffering under a bad fever; and they asked him for her. Lk. 4:38
And standing over her, he rebuked the fever, and it left her; and forthwith standing up she served them. Lk. 4:39
And when the sun went down, all, as many as had persons sick with divers diseases, brought them to him, and having laid his hands on every one of them, he healed them; Lk. 4:40
and demons also went out from many, crying out and saying, *Thou* art the Son of God. And rebuking them, he suffered them not to speak, because they knew him to be the Christ. Lk. 4:41
And when it was day he went out, and went into a desert place, and the crowds sought after him, and came up to him, and would have kept him back that he should not go from them. Lk. 4:42
But he said to them, I must needs announce the glad tidings of the kingdom of God to the other cities also, for for this I have been sent forth. Lk. 4:43
And he was preaching in the synagogues of Galilee. Lk. 4:44
And it came to pass, as the crowd pressed on him to hear the word of God, that he was standing by the lake of Gennesaret: Lk. 5:1
and he saw two ships standing by the lake, but the fishermen, having come down from them, were washing their nets. Lk. 5:2
And getting into one of the ships, which was Simon's, he asked him to draw out a little from the land; and he sat down and taught the crowds out of the ship. Lk. 5:3
But when he ceased speaking, he said to Simon, Draw out into the deep water and let down your nets for a haul. Lk. 5:4
And Simon answering said to him, Master, having laboured through the whole night we have taken nothing, but at thy word I will let down the net. Lk. 5:5
And they beckoned to their partners who were in the other ship to come and help them, and they came, and filled both the ships, so that they were sinking. Lk. 5:7
For astonishment had laid hold on him, and on all those who were with him, at the haul of fishes which they had taken; Lk. 5:9
And having run the ships on shore, leaving all they followed him. Lk. 5:11
And it came to pass as he was in one of the cities, that behold, there was a man full of leprosy, and seeing Jesus, falling upon his face, he besought him saying, Lord, if thou wilt, thou art able to cleanse me. Lk. 5:12
And stretching forth his hand he touched him, saying, I will; be thou cleansed: and immediately the leprosy departed from him. Lk. 5:13
And he enjoined him to tell no one; but go, shew thyself to the priest, and offer for thy cleansing as Moses ordained, for a testimony to them. Lk. 5:14
But the report concerning him was spread abroad still more, and great crowds came together to hear, and to be healed from their infirmities. Lk. 5:15
And *he* withdrew himself, and was about in the desert places and praying. Lk. 5:16
And it came to pass on one of the days, that *he* was teaching, and there were Pharisees and doctors of the law sitting by, who were come out of every village of Galilee and Judaea and out of Jerusalem; and the Lord's power was there to heal them. Lk. 5:17
And not finding what way to bring him in, on account of the crowd, going up on the housetop they let him down through the tiles, with his little couch, into the midst before Jesus. Lk. 5:19
And the scribes and the Pharisees began to reason in their minds, saying, Who is this who speaks blasphemies? Who is able to forgive sins but God alone? Lk. 5:21
But that ye may know that the Son of man has power on earth to forgive sins, he said to the paralysed man, I say to thee, Arise, and take up thy little couch and go to thine house. Lk. 5:24
And after these things he went forth and saw a tax-gatherer, Levi by name, sitting at the receipt of taxes, and said to him, Follow me. Lk. 5:27
And their scribes and the Pharisees murmured at his disciples, saying, Why do ye eat and drink with tax-gatherers and sinners? Lk. 5:30
And they said to him, Why do the disciples of John fast often and make supplications, in like manner those also of the Pharisees, but thine eat and drink? Lk. 5:33
And he said to them, Can ye make the sons of the bridechamber fast when the bridegroom is with them? Lk. 5:34
But days will come when also the bridegroom will have been taken away from them; then shall they fast in those days. Lk. 5:35
And he spoke also a parable to them: No one puts a piece of a new garment upon an old garment, otherwise he will both rend the new, and the piece which is from the new will not suit with the old. Lk. 5:36
And no one puts new wine into old skins, otherwise the new wine will burst the skins, and it will be poured out, and the skins will be destroyed; Lk. 5:37
And no one having drunk old wine straightway wishes for new, for he says, The old is better. Lk. 5:39
And it came to pass on the second-first sabbath, that he went through cornfields, and his disciples were plucking the ears and eating them, rubbing them in their hands. Lk. 6:1
But some of the Pharisees said to them, Why do ye what is not lawful to do on the sabbath? Lk. 6:2
how he entered into the house of God and took the shewbread and ate, and gave to those also who were with him, which it is not lawful that any eat, unless the priests alone? Lk. 6:4
And he said to them, The Son of man is Lord of the sabbath also. Lk. 6:5
And it came to pass on another sabbath also that he entered into the synagogue and taught; and there was a man there, and his right hand was withered. Lk. 6:6
And the scribes and the Pharisees were watching if he would heal on the sabbath, that they might find something of which to accuse him. Lk. 6:7
But *he* knew their thoughts, and said to the man who had the withered hand, Get up, and stand in the midst. And having risen up he stood there. Lk. 6:8
Jesus therefore said to them, I will ask you if it is lawful on the sabbath to do good, or to do evil? to save life, or to destroy it? Lk. 6:9
And having looked around on them all, he said to him, Stretch out thy hand. And he did so and his hand was restored as the other. Lk. 6:10
And it came to pass in those days that he went out into the mountain to pray, and he spent the night in prayer to God. Lk. 6:12
Simon, to whom also he gave the name of Peter, and Andrew his brother, and James and John, and Philip and Bartholomew, Lk. 6:14
and Matthew and Thomas, James the son of Alphaeus and Simon who was called Zealot, Lk. 6:15
and having descended with them, he stood on a level place, and a crowd of his disciples, and a great multitude of the people from all Judaea and Jerusalem, and the sea coast of Tyre and Sidon, who came to hear him, and to be healed of their diseases; Lk. 6:17
And all the crowd sought to touch him, for power went out from him and healed all. Lk. 6:19
And *he*, lifting up his eyes upon his disciples, said, Blessed are ye poor, for yours is the kingdom of God. Lk. 6:20
Blessed are ye when men shall hate you, and when they shall separate you from them, and shall reproach you, and cast out your name as wicked, for the Son of man's sake: Lk. 6:22
rejoice in that day and leap for joy, for behold, your reward is great in the heaven, for after this manner did their fathers act toward the prophets. Lk. 6:23
Woe, when all men speak well of you, for after this manner did their fathers to the false prophets. Lk. 6:26
To him that smites thee on the cheek, offer also the other; and from him that would take away thy garment, forbid not thy body-coat also. Lk. 6:29
And if ye do good to those that do good to you, what thank is it to you? for even sinners do the same. Lk. 6:33
And if ye lend to those from whom ye hope to receive, what thank is it to you? for even sinners lend to sinners that they may receive the like. Lk. 6:34
But love your enemies, and do good, and lend, hoping for nothing in return, and your reward shall be great, and ye shall be sons of the Highest; for *he* is good to the unthankful and wicked. Lk. 6:35
Give, and it shall be given to you; good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over, shall be given into your bosom: for with the same measure with which ye mete it shall be measured to you again. Lk. 6:38
And he spoke also a parable to them: Can a blind man lead a blind man? shall not both fall into the ditch? Lk. 6:39
The disciple is not above his teacher, but every one that is perfected shall be as his teacher. Lk. 6:40
But why lookest thou on the mote which is in the eye of thy brother, but perceivest not the beam which is in thine own eye? Lk. 6:41
or how canst thou say to thy brother, Brother, allow me, I will cast out the mote that is in thine eye, thyself not seeing the beam that is in thine eye? Hypocrite, cast out first the beam out of thine eye, and then thou shalt see clear to cast out the mote which is in the eye of thy brother. Lk. 6:42
The good man, out of the good treasure of his heart, brings forth good; and the wicked man out of the wicked, brings forth what is wicked: for out of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaks. Lk. 6:45
And why call ye me, Lord, Lord, and do not the things that I say? Lk. 6:46
He is like a man building a house, who dug and went deep, and laid a foundation on the rock; but a great rain coming, the stream broke upon that house, and could not shake it, for it had been founded on the rock. Lk. 6:48
And he that has heard and not done, is like a man who has built a house on the ground without a foundation, on which the stream broke, and immediately it fell, and the breach of that house was great. Lk. 6:49
And when he had completed all his words in the hearing of the people, he entered into Capernaum. Lk. 7:1
and having heard of Jesus, he sent to him elders of the Jews, begging him that he might come and save his bondman. Lk. 7:3
for he loves our nation, and himself has built the synagogue for us. Lk. 7:5
And Jesus went with them. But already, when he was not far from the house, the centurion sent to him friends, saying to him, Lord, do not trouble thyself, for I am not worthy that thou shouldest enter under my roof. Lk. 7:6
And Jesus hearing this wondered at him, and turning to the crowd following him said, I say to you, Not even in Israel have I found so great faith. Lk. 7:9
And they who had been sent returning to the house found the bondman, who was ill, in good health. Lk. 7:10
And as he drew near to the gate of the city, behold, a dead man was carried out, the only son of his mother, and she a widow, and a very considerable crowd of the city was with her. Lk. 7:12
And the Lord, seeing her, was moved with compassion for her, and said to her, Weep not; Lk. 7:13
and coming up he touched the bier, and the bearers stopped. And he said, Youth, I say to thee, Wake up. Lk. 7:14
And the dead sat up and began to speak; and he gave him to his mother. Lk. 7:15
And this report went out in all Judaea concerning him, and in all the surrounding country. Lk. 7:17
And the disciples of John brought him word concerning all these things: Lk. 7:18
But the men having come to him said, John the baptist has sent us to thee, saying, Art *thou* he that is coming, or are we to wait for another? Lk. 7:20
And the messengers of John having departed, he began to speak to the crowds concerning John: What went ye out into the wilderness to behold? a reed shaken by the wind? Lk. 7:24
But what went ye out to see? a man clothed in delicate garments? Behold, those who are in splendid clothing and live luxuriously are in the courts of kings. Lk. 7:25
for I say unto you, Among them that are born of women a greater prophet is no one than John the baptist; but he who is a little one in the kingdom of God is greater than he. Lk. 7:28
(And all the people who heard it, and the tax-gatherers, justified God, having been baptised with the baptism of John; Lk. 7:29
but the Pharisees and the lawyers rendered null as to themselves the counsel of God, not having been baptised by him.) Lk. 7:30
To whom therefore shall I liken the men of this generation, and to whom are they like? Lk. 7:31
They are like children sitting in the market-place, and calling one to another and saying, We have piped to you, and ye have not danced; we have mourned to you, and ye have not wept. Lk. 7:32
For John the baptist has come neither eating bread nor drinking wine, and ye say, He has a demon. Lk. 7:33
The Son of man has come eating and drinking, and ye say, Behold an eater and wine-drinker, a friend of tax-gatherers and sinners; Lk. 7:34
But one of the Pharisees begged him that he would eat with him. And entering into the house of the Pharisee he took his place at table; Lk. 7:36
and behold, a woman in the city, who was a sinner, and knew that he was sitting at meat in the house of the Pharisee, having taken an alabaster box of myrrh, Lk. 7:37
and standing at his feet behind him weeping, began to wash his feet with tears; and she wiped them with the hairs of her head, and kissed his feet, and anointed them with the myrrh. Lk. 7:38
And the Pharisee who had invited him, seeing it, spoke with himself saying, This person if he were a prophet would have known who and what the woman is who touches him, for she is a sinner. Lk. 7:39
There were two debtors of a certain creditor: one owed five hundred denarii and the other fifty; Lk. 7:41
And Simon answering said, I suppose he to whom he forgave the most. And he said to him, Thou hast rightly judged. Lk. 7:43
And turning to the woman he said to Simon, Seest thou this woman? I entered into thy house; thou gavest me not water on my feet, but *she* has washed my feet with tears, and wiped them with her hair. Lk. 7:44
Thou gavest me not a kiss, but *she* from the time I came in has not ceased kissing my feet. Lk. 7:45
And he said to the woman, Thy faith has saved thee; go in peace. Lk. 7:50
And it came to pass afterwards that *he* went through the country city by city, and village by village, preaching and announcing the glad tidings of the kingdom of God; and the twelve were with him, Lk. 8:1
The sower went out to sow his seed; and as he sowed, some fell along the way, and it was trodden under foot, and the birds of the heaven devoured it up; Lk. 8:5
and other fell upon the rock, and having sprung up, it was dried up because it had not moisture; Lk. 8:6
and other fell in the midst of the thorns, and the thorns having sprung up with it choked it; Lk. 8:7
and other fell into the good ground, and having sprung up bore fruit a hundredfold. As he said these things he cried, He that has ears to hear, let him hear. Lk. 8:8
And he said, To you it is given to know the mysteries of the kingdom of God, but to the rest in parables, in order that seeing they may not see, and hearing they may not understand. Lk. 8:10
But the parable is this: The seed is the word of God. Lk. 8:11
But those by the wayside are those who hear; then comes the devil and takes away the word from their heart that they may not believe and be saved. Lk. 8:12
But those upon the rock, those who when they hear receive the word with joy; and these have no root, who believe for a time, and in time of trial fall away. Lk. 8:13
But that that fell where the thorns were, these are they who having heard go away and are choked under cares and riches and pleasures of life, and bring no fruit to perfection. Lk. 8:14
But that in the good ground, these are they who in an honest and good heart, having heard the word keep it, and bring forth fruit with patience. Lk. 8:15
And no one having lighted a lamp covers it with a vessel or puts it under a couch, but sets it on a lamp-stand, that they who enter in may see the light. Lk. 8:16
And his mother and his brethren came to him, and could not get to him because of the crowd. Lk. 8:19
But he answering said to them, My mother and my brethren are those who hear the word of God and do it. Lk. 8:21
And it came to pass on one of the days, that *he* entered into a ship, himself and his disciples; and he said to them, Let us pass over to the other side of the lake; and they set off from shore. Lk. 8:22
And as they sailed, he fell asleep; and a sudden squall of wind came down on the lake, and they were filled with water, and were in danger; Lk. 8:23
and coming to him they woke him up, saying, Master, master, we perish. But he, rising up, rebuked the wind and the raging of the water; and they ceased, and there was a calm. Lk. 8:24
And he said to them, Where is your faith? And, being afraid, they were astonished, saying to one another, Who then is this, that he commands even the winds and the water, and they obey him? Lk. 8:25
And they arrived in the country of the Gadarenes, which is over against Galilee. Lk. 8:26
And as he got out of the ship on the land, a certain man out of the city met him, who had demons a long time, and put on no clothes, and did not abide in a house, but in the tombs. Lk. 8:27
But seeing Jesus, he cried out, and fell down before him, and with a loud voice said, What have I to do with thee, Jesus Son of the Most High God? I beseech thee torment me not. Lk. 8:28
For he had commanded the unclean spirit to go out from the man. For very often it had seized him; and he had been bound, kept with chains and fetters; and breaking the bonds he was driven by the demon into the deserts. Lk. 8:29
And they besought him that he would not command them to go away into the bottomless pit. Lk. 8:31
And there was there a herd of many swine feeding on the mountain, and they besought him that he would suffer them to enter into those; and he suffered them. Lk. 8:32
And the demons, going out from the man, entered into the swine, and the herd rushed down the precipice into the lake, and were choked. Lk. 8:33
But they that fed them, seeing what had happened, fled, and told it to the city and to the country. Lk. 8:34
And they went out to see what had happened, and came to Jesus, and found the man from whom the demons had gone out, sitting, clothed and sensible, at the feet of Jesus. And they were afraid. Lk. 8:35
And they also who had seen it told them how the possessed man had been healed. Lk. 8:36
And all the multitude of the surrounding country of the Gadarenes asked him to depart from them, for they were possessed with great fear; and *he*, entering into the ship, returned. Lk. 8:37
But the man out of whom the demons had gone besought him that he might be with him. But he sent him away, saying, Lk. 8:38
Return to thine house and relate how great things God has done for thee. And he went away through the whole city, publishing how great things Jesus had done for him. Lk. 8:39
And it came to pass when Jesus returned, the crowd received him gladly, for they were all expecting him. Lk. 8:40
And behold, a man came, whose name was Jairus, and he was a ruler of the synagogue, and falling at the feet of Jesus besought him to come to his house, Lk. 8:41
because he had an only daughter, about twelve years old, and she was dying. And as he went the crowds thronged him. Lk. 8:42
coming up behind, touched the hem of his garment, and immediately her flux of blood stopped. Lk. 8:44
And Jesus said, Who has touched me? But all denying, Peter and those with him said, Master, the crowds close thee in and press upon thee, and sayest thou, Who has touched me? Lk. 8:45
And the woman, seeing that she was not hid, came trembling, and falling down before him declared before all the people for what cause she had touched him, and how she was immediately healed. Lk. 8:47
While he was yet speaking, comes some one from the ruler of the synagogue, saying to him, Thy daughter is dead; do not trouble the teacher. Lk. 8:49
And when he came to the house he suffered no one to go in but Peter and John and James and the father of the child and the mother. Lk. 8:51
And having called together the twelve, he gave them power and authority over all demons, and to heal diseases, Lk. 9:1
and sent them to proclaim the kingdom of God and to heal the sick. Lk. 9:2
And he said to them, Take nothing for the way, neither staff, nor scrip, nor bread, nor money; nor to have two body-coats apiece. Lk. 9:3
And as many as may not receive you, going forth from that city, shake off even the dust from your feet for a witness against them. Lk. 9:5
And going forth they passed through the villages, announcing the glad tidings and healing everywhere. Lk. 9:6
And Herod the tetrarch heard of all the things which were done by him, and was in perplexity, because it was said by some that John was risen from among the dead, Lk. 9:7
and by some that Elias had appeared, and by others that one of the old prophets had risen again. Lk. 9:8
And the apostles having returned related to him whatever they had done. And he took them and withdrew apart into a desert place of a city called Bethsaida. Lk. 9:10
But the crowds knowing it followed him; and he received them and spake to them of the kingdom of God, and cured those that had need of healing. Lk. 9:11
But the day began to decline, and the twelve came and said to him, Send away the crowd that they may go into the villages around, and into the fields, and lodge and find victuals, for here we are in a desert place. Lk. 9:12
And taking the five loaves and the two fishes, looking up to heaven he blessed them, and broke and gave to the disciples to set before the crowd. Lk. 9:16
And it came to pass as he was praying alone, his disciples were with him, and he asked them saying, Who do the crowds say that I am? Lk. 9:18
But they answering said, John the baptist; but others, Elias; and others, that one of the old prophets has risen again. Lk. 9:19
And he said to them, But *ye*, who do ye say that I am? And Peter answering said, The Christ of God. Lk. 9:20
saying, The Son of man must suffer many things, and be rejected of the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be killed, and the third day be raised up. Lk. 9:22
For what shall a man profit if he shall have gained the whole world, and have destroyed, or come under the penalty of the loss of himself? Lk. 9:25
For whosoever shall have been ashamed of me and of my words, of him will the Son of man be ashamed when he shall come in his glory, and in that of the Father, and of the holy angels. Lk. 9:26
But I say unto you of a truth, There are some of those standing here who shall not taste death until they shall have seen the kingdom of God. Lk. 9:27
And as he prayed the fashion of his countenance became different and his raiment white and effulgent. Lk. 9:29
But Peter and those with him were oppressed with sleep: but having fully awoke up they saw his glory, and the two men who stood with him. Lk. 9:32
But as he was saying these things, there came a cloud and overshadowed them, and they feared as they entered into the cloud: Lk. 9:34
and there was a voice out of the cloud saying, *This* is my beloved Son: hear him. Lk. 9:35
And as the voice was heard Jesus was found alone: and *they* kept silence, and told no one in those days any of the things they had seen. Lk. 9:36
And it came to pass on the following day, when they came down from the mountain, a great crowd met him. Lk. 9:37
And lo, a man from the crowd cried out saying, Teacher, I beseech thee look upon my son, for he is mine only child: Lk. 9:38
But as he was yet coming, the demon tore him and dragged him all together. And Jesus rebuked the unclean spirit, and healed the child and gave him back to his father. Lk. 9:42
And all were astonished at the glorious greatness of God. And as all wondered at all the things which Jesus did, he said to his disciples, Lk. 9:43
Do *ye* let these words sink into your ears. For the Son of man is about to be delivered into men's hands. Lk. 9:44
And a reasoning came in amongst them, who should be the greatest of them. Lk. 9:46
And Jesus, seeing the reasoning of their heart, having taken a little child set it by him, Lk. 9:47
and said to them, Whosoever shall receive this little child in my name receives me, and whosoever shall receive me receives him that sent me. For he who is the least among you all, *he* is great. Lk. 9:48
And it came to pass when the days of his receiving up were fulfilled, that *he* stedfastly set his face to go to Jerusalem. Lk. 9:51
And he sent messengers before his face. And having gone they entered into a village of the Samaritans that they might make ready for him. Lk. 9:52
And it came to pass as they went in the way, one said to him, I will follow thee wheresoever thou goest, Lord. Lk. 9:57
And Jesus said to him, The foxes have holes and the birds of the heaven roosting-places, but the Son of man has not where he may lay his head. Lk. 9:58
But Jesus said to him, Suffer the dead to bury their own dead, but do *thou* go and announce the kingdom of God. Lk. 9:60
But Jesus said to him, No one having laid his hand on the plough and looking back is fit for the kingdom of God. Lk. 9:62
Now after these things the Lord appointed seventy others also, and sent them two and two before his face into every city and place where he himself was about to come. Lk. 10:1
And he said to them, The harvest indeed is great, but the workmen few; supplicate therefore the Lord of the harvest that he may send out workmen into his harvest. Lk. 10:2
Go: behold *I* send you forth as lambs in the midst of wolves. Lk. 10:3
Carry neither purse nor scrip nor sandals, and salute no one on the way. Lk. 10:4
And in the same house abide, eating and drinking such things as they have; for the workman is worthy of his hire. Remove not from house to house. Lk. 10:7
and heal the sick in it, and say to them, The kingdom of God is come nigh to you. Lk. 10:9
Even the dust of your city, which cleaves to us on the feet, do we shake off against you; but know this, that the kingdom of God is come nigh. Lk. 10:11
Woe to thee, Chorazin! woe to thee, Bethsaida! for if the works of power which have taken place in you had taken place in Tyre and Sidon, they had long ago repented, sitting in sackcloth and ashes. Lk. 10:13
But it shall be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon in the judgment than for you. Lk. 10:14
And the seventy returned with joy, saying, Lord, even the demons are subject to us through thy name. Lk. 10:17
Behold, I give you the power of treading upon serpents and scorpions and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing shall in anywise injure you. Lk. 10:19
Yet in this rejoice not, that the spirits are subjected to you, but rejoice that your names are written in the heavens. Lk. 10:20
In the same hour Jesus rejoiced in spirit and said, I praise thee, Father, Lord of the heaven and of the earth, that thou hast hid these things from wise and prudent, and hast revealed them to babes: yea, Father, for thus has it been well-pleasing in thy sight. Lk. 10:21
All things have been delivered to me by my Father, and no one knows who the Son is but the Father, and who the Father is but the Son, and he to whomsoever the Son is pleased to reveal him. Lk. 10:22
And having turned to the disciples privately he said, Blessed are the eyes which see the things that ye see. Lk. 10:23
For I say to you that many prophets and kings have desired to see the things which ye behold, and did not see them; and to hear the things which ye hear, and did not hear them. Lk. 10:24
And he said to him, What is written in the law? how readest thou? Lk. 10:26
But he answering said, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy strength, and with all thine understanding; and thy neighbour as thyself. Lk. 10:27
And Jesus replying said, A certain man descended from Jerusalem to Jericho and fell into the hands of robbers, who also, having stripped him and inflicted wounds, went away leaving him in a half-dead state. Lk. 10:30
And a certain priest happened to go down that way, and seeing him, passed on on the opposite side; Lk. 10:31
and in like manner also a Levite, being at the spot, came and looked at him and passed on on the opposite side. Lk. 10:32
and came up to him and bound up his wounds, pouring in oil and wine; and having put him on his own beast, took him to the inn and took care of him. Lk. 10:34
And on the morrow as he left, taking out two denarii he gave them to the innkeeper, and said to him, Take care of him, and whatsoever thou shalt expend more, *I* will render to thee on my coming back. Lk. 10:35
Which now of these three seems to thee to have been neighbour of him who fell into the hands of the robbers? Lk. 10:36
And she had a sister called Mary, who also, having sat down at the feet of Jesus was listening to his word. Lk. 10:39
but there is need of one, and Mary has chosen the good part, the which shall not be taken from her. Lk. 10:42
and he within answering should say, Do not disturb me; the door is already shut, and my children are with me in bed; I cannot rise up to give it thee? Lk. 11:7
But of whom of you that is a father shall a son ask bread, and the father shall give him a stone? or also a fish, and instead of a fish shall give him a serpent? Lk. 11:11
If therefore *ye*, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much rather shall the Father who is of heaven give the Holy Spirit to them that ask him? Lk. 11:13
And he was casting out a demon, and it was dumb; and it came to pass, the demon being gone out, the dumb man spoke. And the crowds wondered. Lk. 11:14
But some from among them said, By Beelzebub the prince of the demons casts he out demons. Lk. 11:15
But if by the finger of God I cast out demons, then the kingdom of God is come upon you. Lk. 11:20
When the strong man armed keeps his own house, his goods are in peace; Lk. 11:21
but when the stronger than he coming upon him overcomes him, he takes away his panoply in which he trusted, and he will divide the spoil he has taken from him. Lk. 11:22
When the unclean spirit has gone out of the man, he goes through dry places seeking rest; and not finding any he says, I will return to my house whence I came out. Lk. 11:24
Then he goes and takes seven other spirits worse than himself, and entering in, they dwell there; and the last condition of that man becomes worse than the first. Lk. 11:26
And it came to pass as he spake these things, a certain woman, lifting up her voice out of the crowd, said to him, Blessed is the womb that has borne thee, and the paps which thou hast sucked. Lk. 11:27
But *he* said, Yea rather, blessed are they who hear the word of God and keep it. Lk. 11:28
But as the crowds thronged together, he began to say, This generation is a wicked generation: it seeks a sign, and a sign shall not be given to it but the sign of Jonas. Lk. 11:29
For as Jonas was a sign to the Ninevites, thus shall also the Son of man be to this generation. Lk. 11:30
A queen of the south shall rise up in the judgment with the men of this generation, and shall condemn them: for she came from the ends of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon; and behold, more than Solomon is here. Lk. 11:31
Men of Nineveh shall stand up in the judgment with this generation, and shall condemn it: for they repented at the preaching of Jonas; and behold, more than Jonas is here. Lk. 11:32
But no one having lit a lamp sets it in secret, nor under the corn-measure, but on the lamp-stand, that they who enter in may see the light. Lk. 11:33
The lamp of the body is thine eye: when thine eye is simple, thy whole body also is light; but when it is wicked, thy body also is dark. Lk. 11:34
See therefore that the light which is in thee be not darkness. Lk. 11:35
If therefore thy whole body is light, not having any part dark, it shall be all light as when the lamp lights thee with its brightness. Lk. 11:36
But the Pharisee seeing it wondered that he had not first washed before dinner. Lk. 11:38
But the Lord said to him, Now do ye Pharisees cleanse the outside of the cup and of the dish, but your inward parts are full of plunder and wickedness. Lk. 11:39
Fools, has not he who has made the outside made the inside also? Lk. 11:40
But woe unto you, Pharisees, for ye pay tithes of mint and rue and every herb, and pass by the judgment and the love of God: these ye ought to have done, and not have left those aside. Lk. 11:42
Woe unto you, Pharisees, for ye love the first seat in the synagogues and salutations in the market-places. Lk. 11:43
Woe unto you, for ye are as the sepulchres which appear not, and the men walking over them do not know it. Lk. 11:44
And one of the doctors of the law answering says to him, Teacher, in saying these things thou insultest us also. Lk. 11:45
And he said, To you also woe, doctors of the law, for ye lay upon men burdens heavy to bear, and yourselves do not touch the burdens with one of your fingers. Lk. 11:46
Woe unto you, for ye build the sepulchres of the prophets, but your fathers killed them. Lk. 11:47
Ye bear witness then, and consent to the works of your fathers; for *they* killed them, and *ye* build their sepulchres. Lk. 11:48
For this reason also the wisdom of God has said, I will send to them prophets and apostles, and of these shall they kill and drive out by persecution, Lk. 11:49
that the blood of all the prophets which has been poured out from the foundation of the world may be required of this generation, Lk. 11:50
from the blood of Abel to the blood of Zacharias, who perished between the altar and the house; yea, I say to you, it shall be required of this generation. Lk. 11:51
Woe unto you, the doctors of the law, for ye have taken away the key of knowledge; yourselves have not entered in, and those who were entering in ye have hindered. Lk. 11:52
And as he said these things to them, the scribes and the Pharisees began to press him urgently, and to make him speak of many things; Lk. 11:53
In those times, the myriads of the crowd being gathered together, so that they trod one on another, he began to say to his disciples first, Beware of the leaven of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy; Lk. 12:1
therefore whatever ye have said in the darkness shall be heard in the light, and what ye have spoken in the ear in chambers shall be proclaimed upon the housetops. Lk. 12:3
But I say to you, my friends, Fear not those who kill the body and after this have no more that they can do. Lk. 12:4
But even the hairs of your head are all numbered. Fear not therefore, ye are better than many sparrows. Lk. 12:7
But I say to you, Whosoever shall confess me before men, the Son of man will confess him also before the angels of God; Lk. 12:8
but he that shall have denied me before men shall be denied before the angels of God; Lk. 12:9
and whoever shall say a word against the Son of man it shall be forgiven him; but to him that speaks injuriously against the Holy Spirit it shall not be forgiven. Lk. 12:10
But when they bring you before the synagogues and rulers and the authorities, be not careful how or what ye shall answer, or what ye shall say; Lk. 12:11
for the Holy Spirit shall teach you in the hour itself what should be said. Lk. 12:12
And a person said to him out of the crowd, Teacher, speak to my brother to divide the inheritance with me. Lk. 12:13
And he spoke a parable to them, saying, The land of a certain rich man brought forth abundantly. Lk. 12:16
And he said to his disciples, For this cause I say unto you, Be not careful for life, what ye shall eat, nor for the body, what ye shall put on. Lk. 12:22
The life is more than food, and the body than raiment. Lk. 12:23
Consider the ravens, that they sow not nor reap; which have neither storehouse nor granary; and God feeds them. How much better are *ye* than the birds? Lk. 12:24
If therefore ye cannot do even what is least, why are ye careful about the rest? Lk. 12:26
Consider the lilies how they grow: they neither toil nor spin; but I say unto you, Not even Solomon in all his glory was clothed as one of these. Lk. 12:27
But if God thus clothe the grass, which to-day is in the field and to-morrow is cast into the oven, how much rather you, O ye of little faith? Lk. 12:28
for all these things do the nations of the world seek after, and your Father knows that ye have need of these things; Lk. 12:30
Fear not, little flock, for it has been the good pleasure of your Father to give you the kingdom. Lk. 12:32
Sell what ye possess and give alms; make to yourselves purses which do not grow old, a treasure which does not fail in the heavens, where thief does not draw near nor moth destroy. Lk. 12:33
and *ye* like men who wait their own lord whenever he may leave the wedding, that when he comes and knocks, they may open to him immediately. Lk. 12:36
Blessed are those bondmen whom the lord on coming shall find watching; verily I say unto you, that he will gird himself and make them recline at table, and coming up will serve them. Lk. 12:37
And if he come in the second watch, and come in the third watch, and find them thus, blessed are those bondmen. Lk. 12:38
But this know, that if the master of the house had known in what hour the thief was coming, he would have watched, and not have suffered his house to be dug through. Lk. 12:39
And ye therefore, be *ye* ready, for in the hour in which ye do not think it, the Son of man comes. Lk. 12:40
And the Lord said, Who then is the faithful and prudent steward, whom his lord will set over his household, to give the measure of corn in season? Lk. 12:42
But if that bondman should say in his heart, My lord delays to come, and begin to beat the menservants and the maidservants, and to eat and to drink and to be drunken, Lk. 12:45
the lord of that bondman shall come in a day when he does not expect it, and in an hour he knows not of, and shall cut him in two and appoint his portion with the unbelievers. Lk. 12:46
but he who knew it not, and did things worthy of stripes, shall be beaten with few. And to every one to whom much has been given, much shall be required from him; and to whom men have committed much, they will ask from him the more. Lk. 12:48
I have come to cast a fire on the earth; and what will I if already it has been kindled? Lk. 12:49
Think ye that I have come to give peace in the earth? Nay, I say to you, but rather division: Lk. 12:51
And he said also to the crowds, When ye see a cloud rising out of the west, straightway ye say, A shower is coming; and so it happens. Lk. 12:54
And when ye see the south wind blow, ye say, There will be heat; and it happens. Lk. 12:55
Hypocrites, ye know how to judge of the appearance of the earth and of the heaven; how is it then that ye do not discern this time? Lk. 12:56
For as thou goest with thine adverse party before a magistrate, strive in the way to be reconciled with him, lest he drag thee away to the judge, and the judge shall deliver thee to the officer, and the officer cast thee into prison. Lk. 12:58
I say unto thee, Thou shalt in no wise come out thence until thou hast paid the very last mite. Lk. 12:59
Now at the same time there were present some who told him of the Galileans whose blood Pilate mingled with that of their sacrifices. Lk. 13:1
And he answering said to them, Think ye that these Galileans were sinners beyond all the Galileans because they suffered such things? Lk. 13:2
No, I say to you, but if ye repent not, ye shall all perish in the same manner. Lk. 13:3
Or those eighteen on whom the tower in Siloam fell and killed them, think ye that *they* were debtors beyond all the men who dwell in Jerusalem? Lk. 13:4
And he said to the vinedresser, Behold, these three years I come seeking fruit on this fig-tree and find none: cut it down; why does it also render the ground useless? Lk. 13:7
And he was teaching in one of the synagogues on the sabbath. Lk. 13:10
But the ruler of the synagogue, indignant because Jesus healed on the sabbath, answering said to the crowd, There are six days in which people ought to work; in these therefore come and be healed, and not on the sabbath day. Lk. 13:14
The Lord therefore answered him and said, Hypocrites! does not each one of you on the sabbath loose his ox or his ass from the manger and leading it away, water it? Lk. 13:15
And this woman, who is a daughter of Abraham, whom Satan has bound, lo, these eighteen years, ought she not to be loosed from this bond on the sabbath day? Lk. 13:16
And as he said these things, all who were opposed to him were ashamed; and all the crowd rejoiced at all the glorious things which were being done by him. Lk. 13:17
And he said, To what is the kingdom of God like? and to what shall I liken it? Lk. 13:18
It is like a grain of mustard seed which a man took and cast into his garden; and it grew and became a great tree, and the birds of heaven lodged in its branches. Lk. 13:19
And again he said, To what shall I liken the kingdom of God? Lk. 13:20
It is like leaven, which a woman took and hid in three measures of meal until the whole was leavened. Lk. 13:21
Strive with earnestness to enter in through the narrow door, for many, I say to you, will seek to enter in and will not be able. Lk. 13:24
From the time that the master of the house shall have risen up and shall have shut the door, and ye shall begin to stand without and to knock at the door, saying, Lord, open to us; and he answering shall say to you, I know you not whence ye are: Lk. 13:25
There shall be the weeping and the gnashing of teeth, when ye shall see Abraham and Isaac and Jacob and all the prophets in the kingdom of God, but yourselves cast out. Lk. 13:28
And they shall come from east and west, and from north and south, and shall lie down at table in the kingdom of God. Lk. 13:29
The same hour certain Pharisees came up, saying to him, Get out, and go hence, for Herod is desirous to kill thee. Lk. 13:31
And he said to them, Go, tell that fox, Behold, I cast out demons and accomplish cures to-day and to-morrow, and the third day I am perfected; Lk. 13:32
but I must needs walk to-day and to-morrow and the day following, for it must not be that a prophet perish out of Jerusalem. Lk. 13:33
Jerusalem, Jerusalem, the city that kills the prophets and stones those that are sent unto her, how often would I have gathered thy children together, as a hen her brood under her wings, and ye would not. Lk. 13:34
Behold, your house is left unto you; and I say unto you, that ye shall not see me until it come that ye say, Blessed is he that comes in the name of the Lord. Lk. 13:35
And it came to pass, as he went into the house of one of the rulers, who was of the Pharisees, to eat bread on the sabbath, that *they* were watching him. Lk. 14:1
And Jesus answering spoke unto the doctors of the law and Pharisees, saying, Is it lawful to heal on the sabbath? Lk. 14:3
And answering he said to them, Of which of you shall an ass or ox fall into a well, that he does not straightway pull him up on the sabbath day? Lk. 14:5
And he spoke a parable to those that were invited, remarking how they chose out the first places, saying to them, Lk. 14:7
When thou art invited by any one to a wedding, do not lay thyself down in the first place at table, lest perhaps a more honourable than thou be invited by him, Lk. 14:8
and he who invited thee and him come and say to thee, Give place to this man, and then thou begin with shame to take the last place. Lk. 14:9
But when thou hast been invited, go and put thyself down in the last place, that when he who has invited thee comes, he may say to thee, Friend, go up higher: then shalt thou have honour before all that are lying at table with thee; Lk. 14:10
and thou shalt be blessed; for they have not the means to recompense thee; for it shall be recompensed thee in the resurrection of the just. Lk. 14:14
And one of those that were lying at table with them, hearing these things, said to him, Blessed is he who shall eat bread in the kingdom of God. Lk. 14:15
And he sent his bondman at the hour of supper to say to those who were invited, Come, for already all things are ready. Lk. 14:17
And all began, without exception, to excuse themselves. The first said to him, I have bought land, and I must go out and see it; I pray thee hold me for excused. Lk. 14:18
And the bondman came up and brought back word of these things to his lord. Then the master of the house, in anger, said to his bondman, Go out quickly into the streets and lanes of the city, and bring here the poor and crippled and lame and blind. Lk. 14:21
And the bondman said, Sir, it is done as thou hast commanded, and there is still room. Lk. 14:22
And the lord said to the bondman, Go out into the ways and fences and compel to come in, that my house may be filled; Lk. 14:23
For which of you, desirous of building a tower, does not first sit down and count the cost, if he have what is needed to complete it; Lk. 14:28
in order that, having laid the foundation of it, and not being able to finish it, all who see it do not begin to mock at him, Lk. 14:29
Salt then is good, but if the salt also has become savourless, wherewith shall it be seasoned? Lk. 14:34
And all the tax-gatherers and the sinners were coming near to him to hear him; Lk. 15:1
and the Pharisees and the scribes murmured, saying, This man receives sinners and eats with them. Lk. 15:2
What man of you having a hundred sheep, and having lost one of them, does not leave the ninety and nine in the wilderness and go after that which is lost, until he find it? Lk. 15:4
and being come to the house, calls together the friends and the neighbours, saying to them, Rejoice with me, for I have found my lost sheep. Lk. 15:6
Or, what woman having ten drachmas, if she lose one drachma, does not light a lamp and sweep the house and seek carefully till she find it? Lk. 15:8
and having found it she calls together the friends and neighbours, saying, Rejoice with me, for I have found the drachma which I had lost. Lk. 15:9
Thus, I say unto you, there is joy before the angels of God for one repenting sinner. Lk. 15:10
and the younger of them said to his father, Father, give to me the share of the property that falls to me. And he divided to them what he was possessed of. Lk. 15:12
And after not many days the younger son gathering all together went away into a country a long way off, and there dissipated his property, living in debauchery. Lk. 15:13
And he went and joined himself to one of the citizens of that country, and he sent him into his fields to feed swine. Lk. 15:15
And he longed to fill his belly with the husks which the swine were eating; and no one gave to him. Lk. 15:16
And the son said to him, Father, I have sinned against heaven and before thee; I am no longer worthy to be called thy son. Lk. 15:21
But the father said to his bondmen, Bring out the best robe and clothe him in it, and put a ring on his hand and sandals on his feet; Lk. 15:22
and bring the fatted calf and kill it, and let us eat and make merry: Lk. 15:23
And his elder son was in the field; and as, coming up, he drew nigh to the house, he heard music and dancing. Lk. 15:25
And having called one of the servants, he inquired what these things might be. Lk. 15:26
And he said to him, Thy brother is come, and thy father has killed the fatted calf because he has received him safe and well. Lk. 15:27
but when this thy son, who has devoured thy substance with harlots, is come, thou hast killed for him the fatted calf. Lk. 15:30
And having called him, he said to him, What is this that I hear of thee? give the reckoning of thy stewardship, for thou canst be no longer steward. Lk. 16:2
And the steward said within himself, What shall I do; for my lord is taking the stewardship from me? I am not able to dig; I am ashamed to beg. Lk. 16:3
I know what I will do, that when I shall have been removed from the stewardship I may be received into their houses. Lk. 16:4
And having called to him each one of the debtors of his own lord, he said to the first, How much owest thou to my lord? Lk. 16:5
And the lord praised the unrighteous steward because he had done prudently. For the sons of this world are, for their own generation, more prudent than the sons of light. Lk. 16:8
And *I* say to you, Make to yourselves friends with the mammon of unrighteousness, that when it fails ye may be received into the eternal tabernacles. Lk. 16:9
He that is faithful in the least is faithful also in much; and he that is unrighteous in the least is unrighteous also in much. Lk. 16:10
If therefore ye have not been faithful in the unrighteous mammon, who shall entrust to you the true? Lk. 16:11
No servant can serve two masters, for either he will hate the one and will love the other, or he will cleave to the one and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon. Lk. 16:13
And the Pharisees also, who were covetous, heard all these things, and mocked him. Lk. 16:14
The law and the prophets were until John: from that time the glad tidings of the kingdom of God are announced, and every one forces his way into it. Lk. 16:16
But it is easier that the heaven and the earth should pass away than that one tittle of the law should fail. Lk. 16:17
and desiring to be filled with the crumbs which fell from the table of the rich man; but the dogs also coming licked his sores. Lk. 16:21
And it came to pass that the poor man died, and that he was carried away by the angels into the bosom of Abraham. And the rich man also died and was buried. Lk. 16:22
And he crying out said, Father Abraham, have compassion on me, and send Lazarus that he may dip the tip of his finger in water and cool my tongue, for I am suffering in this flame. Lk. 16:24
And he said, I beseech thee then, father, that thou wouldest send him to the house of my father, Lk. 16:27
But Abraham says to him, They have Moses and the prophets: let them hear them. Lk. 16:29
But he said, Nay, father Abraham, but if one from the dead should go to them, they will repent. Lk. 16:30
And he said to him, If they hear not Moses and the prophets, not even if one rise from among the dead will they be persuaded. Lk. 16:31
It would be more profitable for him if a millstone were hanged about his neck and he cast into the sea, than that he should be a snare to one of these little ones. Lk. 17:2
And if he should sin against thee seven times in the day, and seven times should return to thee, saying, I repent, thou shalt forgive him. Lk. 17:4
And the apostles said to the Lord, Give more faith to us. Lk. 17:5
But the Lord said, If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye had said to this sycamine tree, Be thou rooted up, and be thou planted in the sea, and it would have obeyed you. Lk. 17:6
But which of you is there who, having a bondman ploughing or shepherding, when he comes in out of the field, will say, Come and lie down immediately to table? Lk. 17:7
Is he thankful to the bondman because he has done what was ordered? I judge not. Lk. 17:9
And it came to pass as he was going up to Jerusalem, that he passed through the midst of Samaria and Galilee. Lk. 17:11
And seeing them he said to them, Go, shew yourselves to the priests. And it came to pass as they were going they were cleansed. Lk. 17:14
And Jesus answering said, Were not the ten cleansed? but the nine, where are they? Lk. 17:17
And having been asked by the Pharisees, When is the kingdom of God coming? he answered them and said, The kingdom of God does not come with observation; Lk. 17:20
nor shall they say, Lo here, or, Lo there; for behold, the kingdom of God is in the midst of you. Lk. 17:21
And he said to the disciples, Days are coming, when ye shall desire to see one of the days of the Son of man, and shall not see it. Lk. 17:22
For as the lightning shines which lightens from one end under heaven to the other end under heaven, thus shall the Son of man be in his day. Lk. 17:24
And as it took place in the days of Noe, thus also shall it be in the days of the Son of man: Lk. 17:26
they ate, they drank, they married, they were given in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark, and the flood came and destroyed all of them; Lk. 17:27
and in like manner as took place in the days of Lot: they ate, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they builded; Lk. 17:28
but on the day that Lot went out from Sodom, it rained fire and sulphur from heaven, and destroyed all of them: Lk. 17:29
after this manner shall it be in the day that the Son of man is revealed. Lk. 17:30
In that day, he who shall be on the housetop, and his stuff in the house, let him not go down to take it away; and he that is in the field, let him likewise not return back. Lk. 17:31
Remember the wife of Lot. Lk. 17:32
I say to you, In that night there shall be two men upon one bed; one shall be seized and the other shall be let go. Lk. 17:34
Two women shall be grinding together; the one shall be seized and the other shall be let go. Lk. 17:35
Two men shall be in the field; the one shall be seized and the other let go. Lk. 17:36
And answering they say to him, Where, Lord? And he said to them, Where the body is, there the eagles will be gathered together. Lk. 17:37
And he spoke also a parable to them to the purport that they should always pray and not faint, Lk. 18:1
And the Lord said, Hear what the unjust judge says. Lk. 18:6
I say unto you that he will avenge them speedily. But when the Son of man comes, shall he indeed find faith on the earth? Lk. 18:8
And he spoke also to some, who trusted in themselves that they were righteous and made nothing of all the rest of men, this parable: Lk. 18:9
Two men went up into the temple to pray; the one a Pharisee, and the other a tax-gatherer. Lk. 18:10
The Pharisee, standing, prayed thus to himself: God, I thank thee that I am not as the rest of men, rapacious, unjust, adulterers, or even as this tax-gatherer. Lk. 18:11
I fast twice in the week, I tithe everything I gain. Lk. 18:12
And the tax-gatherer, standing afar off, would not lift up even his eyes to heaven, but smote upon his breast, saying, O God, have compassion on me, the sinner. Lk. 18:13
And they brought to him also infants that he might touch them, but the disciples when they saw it rebuked them. Lk. 18:15
But Jesus calling them to him said, Suffer little children to come to me, and do not forbid them, for of such is the kingdom of God. Lk. 18:16
Verily I say to you, Whosoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a little child shall in no wise enter therein. Lk. 18:17
Thou knowest the commandments: Do not commit adultery, Do not kill, Do not steal, Do not bear false witness, Honour thy father and thy mother. Lk. 18:20
And when Jesus had heard this, he said to him, One thing is lacking to thee yet: Sell all that thou hast and distribute to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in the heavens, and come, follow me. Lk. 18:22
But when Jesus saw that he became very sorrowful, he said, How difficultly shall those who have riches enter into the kingdom of God; Lk. 18:24
for it is easier for a camel to enter through a needle's eye than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God. Lk. 18:25
But he said, The things that are impossible with men are possible with God. Lk. 18:27
And he said to them, Verily I say to you, There is no one who has left home, or parents, or brethren, or wife, or children, for the kingdom of God's sake, Lk. 18:29
who shall not receive manifold more at this time, and in the coming age life eternal. Lk. 18:30
And he took the twelve to him and said to them, Behold, we go up to Jerusalem, and all things that are written of the Son of man by the prophets shall be accomplished; Lk. 18:31
for he shall be delivered up to the nations, and shall be mocked, and insulted, and spit upon. Lk. 18:32
And when they have scourged him they will kill him; and on the third day he will rise again. Lk. 18:33
And it came to pass when he came into the neighbourhood of Jericho, a certain blind man sat by the wayside begging. Lk. 18:35
And when he heard the crowd passing, he inquired what this might be. Lk. 18:36
And they told him that Jesus the Nazaraean was passing by. Lk. 18:37
And those who were going before rebuked him that he might be silent; but *he* cried out so much the more, Son of David, have mercy on me. Lk. 18:39
And immediately he saw, and followed him, glorifying God. And all the people when they saw it gave praise to God. Lk. 18:43
And he sought to see Jesus who he was: and he could not for the crowd, because he was little in stature. Lk. 19:3
And when he came up to the place, Jesus looked up and saw him, and said to him, Zacchaeus, make haste and come down, for to-day I must remain in thy house. Lk. 19:5
But Zacchaeus stood and said to the Lord, Behold, Lord, the half of my goods I give to the poor, and if I have taken anything from any man by false accusation, I return him fourfold. Lk. 19:8
for the Son of man has come to seek and to save that which is lost. Lk. 19:10
But as they were listening to these things, he added and spake a parable, because he was near to Jerusalem and they thought that the kingdom of God was about to be immediately manifested. Lk. 19:11
And it came to pass on his arrival back again, having received the kingdom, that he desired these bondmen to whom he gave the money to be called to him, in order that he might know what every one had gained by trading. Lk. 19:15
And the first came up, saying, My Lord, thy mina has produced ten minas. Lk. 19:16
And the second came, saying, My Lord, thy mina has made five minas. Lk. 19:18
And why didst thou not give my money to the bank; and *I* should have received it, at my coming, with interest? Lk. 19:23
And he said to those that stood by, Take from him the mina and give it to him who has the ten minas. Lk. 19:24
And it came to pass as he drew near to Bethphage and Bethany at the mountain called the mount of Olives, he sent two of his disciples, Lk. 19:29
saying, Go into the village over against you, in which ye will find, on entering it, a colt tied up, on which no child of man ever sat at any time: loose it and lead it here. Lk. 19:30
And if any one ask you, Why do ye loose it? thus shall ye say to him, Because the Lord has need of it. Lk. 19:31
And as they were loosing the colt, its masters said to them, Why loose ye the colt? Lk. 19:33
And they said, Because the Lord has need of it. Lk. 19:34
And they led it to Jesus; and having cast their own garments on the colt, they put Jesus on it. Lk. 19:35
And as he went, they strewed their clothes in the way. Lk. 19:36
And as he drew near, already at the descent of the mount of Olives, all the multitude of the disciples began, rejoicing, to praise God with a loud voice for all the works of power which they had seen, Lk. 19:37
saying, Blessed the King that comes in the name of the Lord: peace in heaven, and glory in the highest. Lk. 19:38
And some of the Pharisees from the crowd said to him, Teacher, rebuke thy disciples. Lk. 19:39
And he answering said to them, I say unto you, If these shall be silent, the stones will cry out. Lk. 19:40
And as he drew near, seeing the city, he wept over it, Lk. 19:41
saying, If thou hadst known, even thou, even at least in this thy day, the things that are for thy peace: but now they are hid from thine eyes; Lk. 19:42
and shall lay thee even with the ground, and thy children in thee; and shall not leave in thee a stone upon a stone: because thou knewest not the season of thy visitation. Lk. 19:44
And entering into the temple, he began to cast out those that sold and bought in it, Lk. 19:45
And he was teaching day by day in the temple: and the chief priests and the scribes and the chief of the people sought to destroy him, Lk. 19:47
and did not find what they could do, for all the people hung on him to hear. Lk. 19:48
And it came to pass on one of the days, as he was teaching the people in the temple, and announcing the glad tidings, the chief priests and the scribes with the elders came up, Lk. 20:1
The baptism of John, was it of heaven or of men? Lk. 20:4
but if we should say, Of men, the whole people will stone us, for they are persuaded that John was a prophet. Lk. 20:6
And he began to speak to the people this parable: A man planted a vineyard and let it out to husbandmen, and left the country for a long time. Lk. 20:9
And in the season he sent to the husbandmen a bondman, that they might give to him of the fruit of the vineyard; but the husbandmen, having beaten him, sent him away empty. Lk. 20:10
And the lord of the vineyard said, What shall I do? I will send my beloved son: perhaps when they see him they will respect him. Lk. 20:13
But when the husbandmen saw him, they reasoned among themselves, saying, This is the heir; come, let us kill him, that the inheritance may become ours. Lk. 20:14
And having cast him forth out of the vineyard, they killed him. What therefore shall the lord of the vineyard do to them? Lk. 20:15
He will come and destroy those husbandmen, and will give the vineyard to others. And when they heard it they said, May it never be! Lk. 20:16
But he looking at them said, What then is this that is written, The stone which they that builded rejected, this has become the corner-stone? Lk. 20:17
And the chief priests and the scribes sought the same hour to lay hands on him, and they feared the people; for they knew that he had spoken this parable of them. Lk. 20:19
And having watched him, they sent out suborned persons, pretending to be just men, that they might take hold of him in his language, so that they might deliver him up to the power and authority of the governor. Lk. 20:20
And they asked him saying, Teacher, we know that thou sayest and teachest rightly, and acceptest no man's person, but teachest with truth the way of God: Lk. 20:21
And they were not able to take hold of him in his expressions before the people, and, wondering at his answer, they were silent. Lk. 20:26
And some of the Sadducees, who deny that there is any resurrection, coming up to him, demanded of him Lk. 20:27
saying, Teacher, Moses wrote to us, If any one's brother, who has a wife, die, and he die childless, his brother shall take the wife and raise up seed to his brother. Lk. 20:28
There were then seven brethren: and the first, having taken a wife, died childless; Lk. 20:29
and the second took the woman, and *he* died childless; Lk. 20:30
and the third took her: and in like manner also the seven left no children and died; Lk. 20:31
and last of all the woman also died. Lk. 20:32
In the resurrection therefore of which of them does she become wife, for the seven had her as wife? Lk. 20:33
And Jesus said to them, The sons of this world marry and are given in marriage, Lk. 20:34
but they who are counted worthy to have part in that world, and the resurrection from among the dead, neither marry nor are given in marriage; Lk. 20:35
for neither can they die any more, for they are equal to angels, and are sons of God, being sons of the resurrection. Lk. 20:36
But that the dead rise, even Moses shewed in the section of the bush, when he called the Lord the God of Abraham and the God of Isaac and the God of Jacob; Lk. 20:37
but he is not God of the dead but of the living; for all live for him. Lk. 20:38
And some of the scribes answering said, Teacher, thou hast well spoken. Lk. 20:39
And he said to them, How do they say that the Christ is David's son, Lk. 20:41
and David himself says in the book of Psalms, The Lord said to my Lord, Sit at my right hand Lk. 20:42
And, as all the people were listening, he said to his disciples, Lk. 20:45
Beware of the scribes, who like to walk about in long robes, and who love salutations in the market-places, and first seats in the synagogues, and first places at suppers; Lk. 20:46
who devour the houses of widows, and as a pretext make long prayers. These shall receive a severer judgment. Lk. 20:47
And he looked up and saw the rich casting their gifts into the treasury; Lk. 21:1
for all these out of their abundance have cast into the gifts of God; but she out of her need has cast in all the living which she had. Lk. 21:4
And as some spoke of the temple, that it was adorned with goodly stones and consecrated offerings, he said, Lk. 21:5
And they asked him saying, Teacher, when then shall these things be; and what is the sign when these things are going to take place? Lk. 21:7
And he said, See that ye be not led astray, for many shall come in my name, saying, *I* am he, and the time is drawn nigh: go ye not therefore after them. Lk. 21:8
And when ye shall hear of wars and tumults, be not terrified, for these things must first take place, but the end is not immediately. Lk. 21:9
Then let those who are in Judaea flee to the mountains, and those who are in the midst of it depart out, and those who are in the country not enter into it; Lk. 21:21
for these are days of avenging, that all the things that are written may be accomplished. Lk. 21:22
But woe to them that are with child and to them who give suck in those days, for there shall be great distress upon the land and wrath upon this people. Lk. 21:23
And they shall fall by the edge of the sword, and be led captive into all the nations; and Jerusalem shall be trodden down of the nations until the times of the nations be fulfilled. Lk. 21:24
And there shall be signs in sun and moon and stars, and upon the earth distress of nations in perplexity at the roar of the sea and rolling waves, Lk. 21:25
men ready to die through fear and expectation of what is coming on the habitable earth, for the powers of the heavens shall be shaken. Lk. 21:26
And then shall they see the Son of man coming in a cloud with power and great glory. Lk. 21:27
And he spoke a parable to them: Behold the fig-tree and all the trees; Lk. 21:29
when they already sprout, ye know of your own selves, on looking at them, that already the summer is near. Lk. 21:30
So also *ye*, when ye see these things take place, know that the kingdom of God is near. Lk. 21:31
The heaven and the earth shall pass away, but my words shall in no wise pass away. Lk. 21:33
for as a snare shall it come upon all them that dwell upon the face of the whole earth. Lk. 21:35
Watch therefore, praying at every season, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things which are about to come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man. Lk. 21:36
And by day he was teaching in the temple, and by night, going out, he remained abroad on the mountain called the mount of Olives; Lk. 21:37
and all the people came early in the morning to him in the temple to hear him. Lk. 21:38
Now the feast of unleavened bread, which is called the passover, drew nigh, Lk. 22:1
and the chief priests and the scribes sought how they might kill him; for they feared the people. Lk. 22:2
And Satan entered into Judas, who was surnamed Iscariote, being of the number of the twelve. Lk. 22:3
And he went away and spoke with the chief priests and captains as to how he should deliver him up to them. Lk. 22:4
And he came to an agreement to do it, and sought an opportunity to deliver him up to them away from the crowd. Lk. 22:6
And the day of unleavened bread came, in which the passover was to be killed. Lk. 22:7
And he sent Peter and John, saying, Go and prepare the passover for us, that we may eat it. Lk. 22:8
And he said to them, Behold, as ye enter into the city a man will meet you, carrying an earthen pitcher of water; follow him into the house where he goes in; Lk. 22:10
and ye shall say to the master of the house, The Teacher says to thee, Where is the guest-chamber where I may eat the passover with my disciples? Lk. 22:11
And having gone they found it as he had said to them; and they prepared the passover. Lk. 22:13
And when the hour was come, he placed himself at table, and the twelve apostles with him. Lk. 22:14
For I say unto you, that I will not eat any more at all of it until it be fulfilled in the kingdom of God. Lk. 22:16
For I say unto you, that I will not drink at all of the fruit of the vine until the kingdom of God come. Lk. 22:18
In like manner also the cup, after having supped, saying, This cup is the new covenant in my blood, which is poured out for you. Lk. 22:20
Moreover, behold, the hand of him that delivers me up is with me on the table; Lk. 22:21
and the Son of man indeed goes as it is determined, but woe unto that man by whom he is delivered up. Lk. 22:22
And there was also a strife among them which of them should be held to be the greatest. Lk. 22:24
And he said to them, The kings of the nations rule over them, and they that exercise authority over them are called benefactors. Lk. 22:25
But *ye* shall not be thus; but let the greater among you be as the younger, and the leader as he that serves. Lk. 22:26
For which is greater, he that is at table or he that serves? Is not he that is at table? But *I* am in the midst of you as the one that serves. Lk. 22:27
that ye may eat and drink at my table in my kingdom, and sit on thrones judging the twelve tribes of Israel. Lk. 22:30
And the Lord said, Simon, Simon, behold, Satan has demanded to have you, to sift you as wheat; Lk. 22:31
And he said, I tell thee, Peter, the cock shall not crow to-day before that thou shalt thrice deny that thou knowest me. Lk. 22:34
for I say unto you, that this that is written must yet be accomplished in me, And he was reckoned with the lawless: for also the things concerning me have an end. Lk. 22:37
And going forth he went according to his custom to the mount of Olives, and the disciples also followed him. Lk. 22:39
And when he was at the place he said to them, Pray that ye enter not into temptation. Lk. 22:40
And being in conflict he prayed more intently. And his sweat became as great drops of blood, falling down upon the earth. Lk. 22:44
And rising up from his prayer, coming to the disciples, he found them sleeping from grief. Lk. 22:45
As he was yet speaking, behold, a crowd, and he that was called Judas, one of the twelve, went on before them, and drew near to Jesus to kiss him. Lk. 22:47
And Jesus said to him, Judas, deliverest thou up the Son of man with a kiss? Lk. 22:48
And they who were around him, seeing what was going to follow, said to him, Lord, shall we smite with the sword? Lk. 22:49
And a certain one from among them smote the bondman of the high priest and took off his right ear. Lk. 22:50
And Jesus said to the chief priests and captains of the temple and elders, who were come against him, Have ye come out as against a robber with swords and sticks? Lk. 22:52
When I was day by day with you in the temple ye did not stretch out your hands against me; but this is your hour and the power of darkness. Lk. 22:53
And having laid hold on him, they led him away, and they led him into the house of the high priest. And Peter followed afar off. Lk. 22:54
And they having lit a fire in the midst of the court and sat down together, Peter sat among them. Lk. 22:55
And a certain maid, having seen him sitting by the light, and having fixed her eyes upon him, said, And this man was with him. Lk. 22:56
And after the lapse of about one hour another stoutly maintained it, saying, In truth this man also was with him, for also he is a Galilaean. Lk. 22:59
And Peter said, Man, I know not what thou sayest. And immediately, while he was yet speaking, the cock crew. Lk. 22:60
And the Lord, turning round, looked at Peter; and Peter remembered the word of the Lord, how he said to him, Before the cock crow thou shalt deny me thrice. Lk. 22:61
And the men who held him mocked him, beating him; Lk. 22:63
And when it was day, the elderhood of the people, both the chief priests and scribes, were gathered together, and led him into their council, saying, Lk. 22:66
If *thou* art the Christ, tell us. And he said to them, If I tell you, ye will not at all believe; Lk. 22:67
but henceforth shall the Son of man be sitting on the right hand of the power of God. Lk. 22:69
And they all said, *Thou* then art the Son of God? And he said to them, *Ye* say that I am. Lk. 22:70
And the whole multitude of them, rising up, led him to Pilate. Lk. 23:1
And Pilate demanded of him saying, Art *thou* the king of the Jews? And he answering him said, Thou sayest. Lk. 23:3
And Pilate said to the chief priests and the crowds, I find no guilt in this man. Lk. 23:4
But they insisted, saying, He stirs up the people, teaching throughout all Judaea, beginning from Galilee even on to here. Lk. 23:5
But Pilate, having heard Galilee named, demanded if the man were a Galilaean; Lk. 23:6
And the chief priests and the scribes stood and accused him violently. Lk. 23:10
And Pilate and Herod became friends with one another the same day, for they had been at enmity before between themselves. Lk. 23:12
And Pilate, having called together the chief priests and the rulers and the people, Lk. 23:13
said to them, Ye have brought to me this man as turning away the people to rebellion, and behold, I, having examined him before you, have found nothing criminal in this man as to the things of which ye accuse him; Lk. 23:14
( Now he was obliged to release one for them at the feast.) Lk. 23:17
who was one who, for a certain tumult which had taken place in the city, and for murder, had been cast into prison. Lk. 23:19
And he said the third time to them, What evil then has this man done? I have found no cause of death in him: I will chastise him therefore and release him. Lk. 23:22
But they were urgent with loud voices, begging that he might be crucified. And their voices and those of the chief priests prevailed. Lk. 23:23
And as they led him away, they laid hold on a certain Simon, a Cyrenian, coming from the field, and put the cross upon him to bear it behind Jesus. Lk. 23:26
And a great multitude of the people, and of women who wailed and lamented him, followed him. Lk. 23:27
for behold, days are coming in which they will say, Blessed are the barren, and wombs that have not borne, and breasts that have not given suck. Lk. 23:29
Then shall they begin to say to the mountains, Fall upon us; and to the hills, Cover us: Lk. 23:30
for if these things are done in the green tree, what shall take place in the dry? Lk. 23:31
And when they came to the place which is called Skull, there they crucified him, and the malefactors, one on the right hand, the other on the left. Lk. 23:33
And the people stood beholding, and the rulers also with them sneered, saying, He has saved others; let him save himself if this is the Christ, the chosen one of God. Lk. 23:35
And the soldiers also made game of him, coming up offering him vinegar, Lk. 23:36
and saying, If *thou* be the king of the Jews, save thyself. Lk. 23:37
And there was also an inscription written over him in Greek, and Roman, and Hebrew letters: This is the King of the Jews. Lk. 23:38
Now one of the malefactors who had been hanged spoke insultingly to him, saying, Art not thou the Christ? save thyself and us. Lk. 23:39
But the other answering rebuked him, saying, Dost *thou* too not fear God, thou that art under the same judgment? Lk. 23:40
and *we* indeed justly, for we receive the just recompense of what we have done; but this man has done nothing amiss. Lk. 23:41
And it was about the sixth hour, and there came darkness over the whole land until the ninth hour. Lk. 23:44
And the sun was darkened, and the veil of the temple rent in the midst. Lk. 23:45
Now the centurion, seeing what took place, glorified God, saying, In very deed this man was just. Lk. 23:47
And all the crowds who had come together to that sight, having seen the things that took place, returned, beating their breasts. Lk. 23:48
And all those who knew him stood afar off, the women also who had followed him from Galilee, beholding these things. Lk. 23:49
(this man had not assented to their counsel and deed), of Arimathaea, a city of the Jews, who also waited, himself also, for the kingdom of God Lk. 23:51
-- he having gone to Pilate begged the body of Jesus; Lk. 23:52
and having taken it down, wrapped it in fine linen and placed him in a tomb hewn in the rock, where no one had ever been laid. Lk. 23:53
And it was preparation day, and the sabbath twilight was coming on. Lk. 23:54
And women, who had come along with him out of Galilee, having followed, saw the sepulchre and how his body was placed. Lk. 23:55
And having returned they prepared aromatic spices and ointments, and remained quiet on the sabbath, according to the commandment. Lk. 23:56
But on the morrow of the sabbath, very early indeed in the morning, they came to the tomb, bringing the aromatic spices which they had prepared. Lk. 24:1
And they found the stone rolled away from the sepulchre. Lk. 24:2
And when they had entered they found not the body of the Lord Jesus. Lk. 24:3
And as they were filled with fear and bowed their faces to the ground, they said to them, Why seek ye the living one among the dead? Lk. 24:5
saying, The Son of man must be delivered up into the hands of sinners, and be crucified, and rise the third day. Lk. 24:7
and, returning from the sepulchre, related all these things to the eleven and to all the rest. Lk. 24:9
Now it was Mary of Magdala, and Johanna, and Mary the mother of James, and the others with them, who told these things to the apostles. Lk. 24:10
But Peter, rising up, ran to the sepulchre, and stooping down he sees the linen clothes lying there alone, and went away home, wondering at what had happened. Lk. 24:12
And behold, two of them were going on the same day to a village distant sixty stadia from Jerusalem, called Emmaus; Lk. 24:13
And he said to them, What things? And they said to him, The things concerning Jesus the Nazaraean, who was a prophet mighty in deed and word before God and all the people; Lk. 24:19
and how the chief priests and our rulers delivered him up to the judgment of death and crucified him. Lk. 24:20
But *we* had hoped that *he* was the one who is about to redeem Israel. But then, besides all these things, it is now, to-day, the third day since these things took place. Lk. 24:21
And withal, certain women from amongst us astonished us, having been very early at the sepulchre, Lk. 24:22
And some of those with us went to the sepulchre, and found it so, as the women also had said, but him they saw not. Lk. 24:24
And *he* said to them, O senseless and slow of heart to believe in all that the prophets have spoken! Lk. 24:25
Ought not the Christ to have suffered these things and to enter into his glory? Lk. 24:26
And having begun from Moses and from all the prophets, he interpreted to them in all the scriptures the things concerning himself. Lk. 24:27
And they drew near to the village where they were going, and *he* made as though he would go farther. Lk. 24:28
And they constrained him, saying, Stay with us, for it is toward evening and the day is declining. And he entered in to stay with them. Lk. 24:29
And it came to pass as he was at table with them, having taken the bread, he blessed, and having broken it, gave it to them. Lk. 24:30
And they said to one another, Was not our heart burning in us as he spoke to us on the way, and as he opened the scriptures to us? Lk. 24:32
And rising up the same hour, they returned to Jerusalem. And they found the eleven, and those with them, gathered together, Lk. 24:33
saying, The Lord is indeed risen and has appeared to Simon. Lk. 24:34
And they related what had happened on the way, and how he was made known to them in the breaking of bread. Lk. 24:35
And he said to them, These are the words which I spoke to you while I was yet with you, that all that is written concerning me in the law of Moses and prophets and psalms must be fulfilled. Lk. 24:44
Then he opened their understanding to understand the scriptures, Lk. 24:45
and said to them, Thus it is written, and thus it behoved the Christ to suffer, and to rise from among the dead the third day; Lk. 24:46
and that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in his name to all the nations beginning at Jerusalem. Lk. 24:47
And behold, I send the promise of my Father upon you; but do ye remain in the city till ye be clothed with power from on high. Lk. 24:49
and were continually in the temple praising and blessing God. Lk. 24:53
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. Jn. 1:1
*He* was in the beginning with God. Jn. 1:2
In him was life, and the life was the light of men. Jn. 1:4
And the light appears in darkness, and the darkness apprehended it not. Jn. 1:5
He came for witness, that he might witness concerning the light, that all might believe through him. Jn. 1:7
*He* was not the light, but that he might witness concerning the light. Jn. 1:8
The true light was that which, coming into the world, lightens every man. Jn. 1:9
He was in the world, and the world had its being through him, and the world knew him not. Jn. 1:10
but as many as received him, to them gave he the right to be children of God, to those that believe on his name; Jn. 1:12
And the Word became flesh, and dwelt among us (and we have contemplated his glory, a glory as of an only-begotten with a father), full of grace and truth; Jn. 1:14
For the law was given by Moses: grace and truth subsists through Jesus Christ. Jn. 1:17
No one has seen God at any time; the only-begotten Son, who is in the bosom of the Father, *he* hath declared him. Jn. 1:18
And this is the witness of John, when the Jews sent from Jerusalem priests and Levites that they might ask him, Thou, who art thou? Jn. 1:19
And he acknowledged and denied not, and acknowledged, I am not the Christ. Jn. 1:20
And they asked him, What then? Art thou Elias? And he says, I am not. Art thou the prophet? And he answered, No. Jn. 1:21
He said, I am the voice of one crying in the wilderness, Make straight the path of the Lord, as said Esaias the prophet. Jn. 1:23
And they were sent from among the Pharisees. Jn. 1:24
And they asked him and said to him, Why baptisest thou then, if thou art not the Christ, nor Elias, nor the prophet? Jn. 1:25
John answered them saying, I baptise with water. In the midst of you stands, whom ye do not know, Jn. 1:26
he who comes after me, the thong of whose sandal I am not worthy to unloose. Jn. 1:27
These things took place in Bethany, across the Jordan, where John was baptising. Jn. 1:28
On the morrow he sees Jesus coming to him, and says, Behold the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world. Jn. 1:29
And John bore witness, saying, I beheld the Spirit descending as a dove from heaven, and it abode upon him. Jn. 1:32
And I knew him not; but he who sent me to baptise with water, *he* said to me, Upon whom thou shalt see the Spirit descending and abiding on him, he it is who baptises with the Holy Spirit. Jn. 1:33
And I have seen and borne witness that this is the Son of God. Jn. 1:34
Again, on the morrow, there stood John and two of his disciples. Jn. 1:35
And, looking at Jesus as he walked, he says, Behold the Lamb of God. Jn. 1:36
And the two disciples heard him speaking, and followed Jesus. Jn. 1:37
He says to them, Come and see. They went therefore, and saw where he abode; and they abode with him that day. It was about the tenth hour. Jn. 1:39
Andrew, the brother of Simon Peter, was one of the two who heard this from John and followed him. Jn. 1:40
He first finds his own brother Simon, and says to him, We have found the Messias (which being interpreted is Christ). Jn. 1:41
And he led him to Jesus. Jesus looking at him said, Thou art Simon, the son of Jonas; thou shalt be called Cephas (which interpreted is stone). Jn. 1:42
On the morrow he would go forth into Galilee, and Jesus finds Philip, and says to him, Follow me. Jn. 1:43
And Philip was from Bethsaida, of the city of Andrew and Peter. Jn. 1:44
Philip finds Nathanael, and says to him, We have found him of whom Moses wrote in the law, and the prophets, Jesus, the son of Joseph, who is from Nazareth. Jn. 1:45
Nathanael says to him, Whence knowest thou me? Jesus answered and said to him, Before that Philip called thee, when thou wast under the fig-tree, I saw thee. Jn. 1:48
Nathanael answered and said to him, Rabbi, thou art the Son of God, thou art the King of Israel. Jn. 1:49
Jesus answered and said to him, Because I said to thee, I saw thee under the fig-tree, believest thou? Thou shalt see greater things than these. Jn. 1:50
And he says to him, Verily, verily, I say to you, Henceforth ye shall see the heaven opened, and the angels of God ascending and descending on the Son of man. Jn. 1:51
And on the third day a marriage took place in Cana of Galilee, and the mother of Jesus was there. Jn. 2:1
And Jesus also, and his disciples, were invited to the marriage. Jn. 2:2
And wine being deficient, the mother of Jesus says to him, They have no wine. Jn. 2:3
His mother says to the servants, Whatever he may say to you, do. Jn. 2:5
Now there were standing there six stone water-vessels, according to the purification of the Jews, holding two or three measures each. Jn. 2:6
Jesus says to them, Fill the water-vessels with water. And they filled them up to the brim. Jn. 2:7
And he says to them, Draw out now, and carry it to the feast-master. And they carried it. Jn. 2:8
But when the feast-master had tasted the water which had been made wine (and knew not whence it was, but the servants knew who drew the water), the feast-master calls the bridegroom, Jn. 2:9
and says to him, Every man sets on first the good wine, and when men have well drunk, then the inferior; thou hast kept the good wine till now. Jn. 2:10
And the passover of the Jews was near, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem. Jn. 2:13
And he found in the temple the sellers of oxen and sheep and doves, and the money-changers sitting; Jn. 2:14
and, having made a scourge of cords, he cast them all out of the temple, both the sheep and the oxen; and he poured out the change of the money-changers, and overturned the tables, Jn. 2:15
and said to the sellers of doves, Take these things hence; make not my Father's house a house of merchandise. Jn. 2:16
And his disciples remembered that it is written, The zeal of thy house devours me. Jn. 2:17
The Jews therefore answered and said to him, What sign shewest thou to us, that thou doest these things? Jn. 2:18
The Jews therefore said, Forty and six years was this temple building, and thou wilt raise it up in three days? Jn. 2:20
But *he* spoke of the temple of his body. Jn. 2:21
When therefore he was raised from among the dead, his disciples remembered that he had said this, and believed the scripture and the word which Jesus had spoken. Jn. 2:22
And when he was in Jerusalem, at the passover, at the feast, many believed on his name, beholding his signs which he wrought. Jn. 2:23
But there was a man from among the Pharisees, his name Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews; Jn. 3:1
Jesus answered and said to him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except any one be born anew he cannot see the kingdom of God. Jn. 3:3
Nicodemus says to him, How can a man be born being old? can he enter a second time into the womb of his mother and be born? Jn. 3:4
Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except any one be born of water and of Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God. Jn. 3:5
That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. Jn. 3:6
The wind blows where it will, and thou hearest its voice, but knowest not whence it comes and where it goes: thus is every one that is born of the Spirit. Jn. 3:8
Jesus answered and said to him, Thou art the teacher of Israel and knowest not these things! Jn. 3:10
If I have said the earthly things to you, and ye believe not, how, if I say the heavenly things to you, will ye believe? Jn. 3:12
And no one has gone up into heaven, save he who came down out of heaven, the Son of man who is in heaven. Jn. 3:13
And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, thus must the Son of man be lifted up, Jn. 3:14
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only-begotten Son, that whosoever believes on him may not perish, but have life eternal. Jn. 3:16
For God has not sent his Son into the world that he may judge the world, but that the world may be saved through him. Jn. 3:17
He that believes on him is not judged: but he that believes not has been already judged, because he has not believed on the name of the only-begotten Son of God. Jn. 3:18
And this is the judgment, that light is come into the world, and men have loved darkness rather than light; for their works were evil. Jn. 3:19
For every one that does evil hates the light, and does not come to the light that his works may not be shewn as they are; Jn. 3:20
but he that practises the truth comes to the light, that his works may be manifested that they have been wrought in God. Jn. 3:21
After these things came Jesus and his disciples into the land of Judaea; and there he abode with them and baptised. Jn. 3:22
There was therefore a reasoning of the disciples of John with a Jew about purification. Jn. 3:25
And they came to John and said to him, Rabbi, he who was with thee beyond the Jordan, to whom thou barest witness, behold, he baptises, and all come to him. Jn. 3:26
Ye yourselves bear me witness that I said, I am not the Christ, but, that I am sent before him. Jn. 3:28
He that has the bride is the bridegroom; but the friend of the bridegroom, who stands and hears him, rejoices in heart because of the voice of the bridegroom: this my joy then is fulfilled. Jn. 3:29
He who comes from above is above all. He who has his origin in the earth is of the earth, and speaks as of the earth. He who comes out of heaven is above all, Jn. 3:31
for he whom God has sent speaks the words of God, for God gives not the Spirit by measure. Jn. 3:34
The Father loves the Son, and has given all things to be in his hand. Jn. 3:35
He that believes on the Son has life eternal, and he that is not subject to the Son shall not see life, but the wrath of God abides upon him. Jn. 3:36
When therefore the Lord knew that the Pharisees had heard that Jesus makes and baptises more disciples than John Jn. 4:1
He comes therefore to a city of Samaria called Sychar, near to the land which Jacob gave to his son Joseph. Jn. 4:5
Now a fountain of Jacob's was there; Jesus therefore, being wearied with the way he had come, sat just as he was at the fountain. It was about the sixth hour. Jn. 4:6
(for his disciples had gone away into the city that they might buy provisions). Jn. 4:8
The Samaritan woman therefore says to him, How dost thou, being a Jew, ask to drink of me who am a Samaritan woman? for Jews have no intercourse with Samaritans. Jn. 4:9
Jesus answered and said to her, If thou knewest the gift of God, and who it is that says to thee, Give me to drink, thou wouldest have asked of him, and he would have given thee living water. Jn. 4:10
The woman says to him, Sir, thou hast nothing to draw with, and the well is deep: whence then hast thou the living water? Jn. 4:11
Art thou greater than our father Jacob, who gave us the well, and drank of it himself, and his sons, and his cattle? Jn. 4:12
but whosoever drinks of the water which I shall give him shall never thirst for ever, but the water which I shall give him shall become in him a fountain of water, springing up into eternal life. Jn. 4:14
The woman says to him, Sir, give me this water, that I may not thirst nor come here to draw. Jn. 4:15
The woman answered and said, I have not a husband. Jesus says to her, Thou hast well said, I have not a husband; Jn. 4:17
The woman says to him, Sir, I see that thou art a prophet. Jn. 4:19
Our fathers worshipped in this mountain, and ye say that in Jerusalem is the place where one must worship. Jn. 4:20
Jesus says to her, Woman, believe me, the hour is coming when ye shall neither in this mountain nor in Jerusalem worship the Father. Jn. 4:21
Ye worship ye know not what; we worship what we know, for salvation is of the Jews. Jn. 4:22
But the hour is coming and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and truth; for also the Father seeks such as his worshippers. Jn. 4:23
The woman says to him, I know that Messias is coming, who is called Christ; when *he* comes he will tell us all things. Jn. 4:25
The woman then left her waterpot and went away into the city, and says to the men, Jn. 4:28
Come, see a man who told me all things I had ever done: is not he the Christ? Jn. 4:29
They went out of the city and came to him. Jn. 4:30
But meanwhile the disciples asked him saying, Rabbi, eat. Jn. 4:31
The disciples therefore said to one another, Has any one brought him anything to eat? Jn. 4:33
Jesus says to them, My food is that I should do the will of him that has sent me, and that I should finish his work. Jn. 4:34
Do not ye say, that there are yet four months and the harvest comes? Behold, I say to you, Lift up your eyes and behold the fields, for they are already white to harvest. Jn. 4:35
For in this is verified the true saying, It is one who sows and another who reaps. Jn. 4:37
But many of the Samaritans of that city believed on him because of the word of the woman who bore witness, He told me all things that I had ever done. Jn. 4:39
When therefore the Samaritans came to him they asked him to abide with them, and he abode there two days. Jn. 4:40
and they said to the woman, It is no longer on account of thy saying that we believe, for we have heard him ourselves, and we know that this is indeed the Saviour of the world. Jn. 4:42
But after the two days he went forth thence and went away into Galilee, Jn. 4:43
When therefore he came into Galilee, the Galileans received him, having seen all that he had done in Jerusalem during the feast, for they also went to the feast. Jn. 4:45
He came therefore again to Cana of Galilee, where he made the water wine. And there was a certain courtier in Capernaum whose son was sick. Jn. 4:46
The courtier says to him, Sir, come down ere my child die. Jn. 4:49
Jesus says to him, Go, thy son lives. And the man believed the word which Jesus said to him, and went his way. Jn. 4:50
He inquired therefore from them the hour at which he got better. And they said to him, Yesterday at the seventh hour the fever left him. Jn. 4:52
The father therefore knew that it was in that hour in which Jesus said to him, Thy son lives; and he believed, himself and his whole house. Jn. 4:53
After these things was a feast of the Jews, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem. Jn. 5:1
Now there is in Jerusalem, at the sheepgate, a pool, which is called in Hebrew, Bethesda, having five porches. Jn. 5:2
In these lay a multitude of sick, blind, lame, withered, awaiting the moving of the water. Jn. 5:3
For an angel descended at a certain season in the pool and troubled the water. Whoever therefore first went in after the troubling of the water became well, whatever disease he laboured under. Jn. 5:4
The infirm man answered him, Sir, I have not a man, in order, when the water has been troubled, to cast me into the pool; but while I am coming another descends before me. Jn. 5:7
And immediately the man became well, and took up his couch and walked: and on that day was sabbath. Jn. 5:9
The Jews therefore said to the healed man, It is sabbath, it is not permitted thee to take up thy couch. Jn. 5:10
They asked him therefore, Who is the man who said to thee, Take up thy couch and walk? Jn. 5:12
But he that had been healed knew not who it was, for Jesus had slidden away, there being a crowd in the place. Jn. 5:13
After these things Jesus finds him in the temple, and said to him, Behold, thou art become well: sin no more, that something worse do not happen to thee. Jn. 5:14
The man went away and told the Jews that it was Jesus who had made him well. Jn. 5:15
And for this the Jews persecuted Jesus and sought to kill him, because he had done these things on sabbath. Jn. 5:16
For this therefore the Jews sought the more to kill him, because he had not only violated the sabbath, but also said that God was his own Father, making himself equal with God. Jn. 5:18
Jesus therefore answered and said to them, Verily, verily, I say to you, The Son can do nothing of himself save whatever he sees the Father doing: for whatever things *he* does, these things also the Son does in like manner. Jn. 5:19
For the Father loves the Son and shews him all things which he himself does; and he will shew him greater works than these, that ye may wonder. Jn. 5:20
For even as the Father raises the dead and quickens them, thus the Son also quickens whom he will: Jn. 5:21
for neither does the Father judge any one, but has given all judgment to the Son; Jn. 5:22
that all may honour the Son, even as they honour the Father. He who honours not the Son, honours not the Father who has sent him. Jn. 5:23
Verily, verily, I say unto you, that an hour is coming, and now is, when the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of God, and they that have heard shall live. Jn. 5:25
For even as the Father has life in himself, so he has given to the Son also to have life in himself, Jn. 5:26
Wonder not at this, for an hour is coming in which all who are in the tombs shall hear his voice, Jn. 5:28
I cannot do anything of myself; as I hear, I judge, and my judgment is righteous, because I do not seek my will, but the will of him that has sent me. Jn. 5:30
It is another who bears witness concerning me, and I know that the witness which he bears concerning me is true. Jn. 5:32
Ye have sent unto John, and he has borne witness to the truth. Jn. 5:33
*He* was the burning and shining lamp, and ye were willing for a season to rejoice in his light. Jn. 5:35
But I have the witness that is greater than that of John; for the works which the Father has given me that I should complete them, the works themselves which I do, bear witness concerning me that the Father has sent me. Jn. 5:36
And the Father who has sent me himself has borne witness concerning me. Ye have neither heard his voice at any time, nor have seen his shape, Jn. 5:37
Ye search the scriptures, for ye think that in them ye have life eternal, and they it is which bear witness concerning me; Jn. 5:39
but I know you, that ye have not the love of God in you. Jn. 5:42
How can ye believe, who receive glory one of another, and seek not the glory which comes from God alone? Jn. 5:44
Think not that I will accuse you to the Father: there is one who accuses you, Moses, on whom ye trust; Jn. 5:45
After these things Jesus went away beyond the sea of Galilee, or of Tiberias, Jn. 6:1
and a great crowd followed him, because they saw the signs which he wrought upon the sick. Jn. 6:2
And Jesus went up into the mountain, and there sat with his disciples: Jn. 6:3
but the passover, the feast of the Jews, was near. Jn. 6:4
And Jesus said, Make the men sit down. Now there was much grass in the place: the men therefore sat down, in number about five thousand. Jn. 6:10
And Jesus took the loaves, and having given thanks, distributed them to those that were set down; and in like manner of the small fishes as much as they would. Jn. 6:11
And when they had been filled, he says to his disciples, Gather together the fragments which are over and above, that nothing may be lost. Jn. 6:12
They gathered them therefore together, and filled twelve hand-baskets full of fragments of the five barley loaves, which were over and above to those that had eaten. Jn. 6:13
The men therefore, having seen the sign which Jesus had done, said, This is truly the prophet which is coming into the world. Jn. 6:14
Jesus therefore knowing that they were going to come and seize him, that they might make him king, departed again to the mountain himself alone. Jn. 6:15
But when evening was come, his disciples went down to the sea, Jn. 6:16
and having gone on board ship, they went over the sea to Capernaum. And it had already become dark, and Jesus had not come to them, Jn. 6:17
and the sea was agitated by a strong wind blowing. Jn. 6:18
Having rowed then about twenty-five or thirty stadia, they see Jesus walking on the sea and coming near the ship; and they were frightened. Jn. 6:19
They were willing therefore to receive him into the ship; and immediately the ship was at the land to which they went. Jn. 6:21
On the morrow the crowd which stood on the other side of the sea, having seen that there was no other little ship there except that into which his disciples had got, and that Jesus had not gone with his disciples into the ship, but that his disciples had gone away alone; Jn. 6:22
(but other little ships out of Tiberias came near to the place where they ate bread after the Lord had given thanks;) Jn. 6:23
when therefore the crowd saw that Jesus was not there, nor his disciples, *they* got into the ships, and came to Capernaum, seeking Jesus. Jn. 6:24
And having found him the other side of the sea, they said to him, Rabbi, when art thou arrived here? Jn. 6:25
Jesus answered them and said, Verily, verily, I say to you, Ye seek me not because ye have seen signs, but because ye have eaten of the loaves and been filled. Jn. 6:26
Work not for the food which perishes, but for the food which abides unto life eternal, which the Son of man shall give to you; for him has the Father sealed, even God. Jn. 6:27
They said therefore to him, What should we do that we may work the works of God? Jn. 6:28
Jesus answered and said to them, This is the work of God, that ye believe on him whom *he* has sent. Jn. 6:29
Our fathers ate the manna in the wilderness, as it is written, He gave them bread out of heaven to eat. Jn. 6:31
Jesus therefore said to them, Verily, verily, I say to you, It is not Moses that has given you the bread out of heaven; but my Father gives you the true bread out of heaven. Jn. 6:32
For the bread of God is he who comes down out of heaven and gives life to the world. Jn. 6:33
And Jesus said to them, I am the bread of life: he that comes to me shall never hunger, and he that believes on me shall never thirst at any time. Jn. 6:35
All that the Father gives me shall come to me, and him that comes to me I will not at all cast out. Jn. 6:37
For I am come down from heaven, not that I should do *my* will, but the will of him that has sent me. Jn. 6:38
And this is the will of him that has sent me, that of all that he has given me I should lose nothing, but should raise it up in the last day. Jn. 6:39
For this is the will of my Father, that every one who sees the Son, and believes on him, should have life eternal; and I will raise him up at the last day. Jn. 6:40
The Jews therefore murmured about him, because he said, I am the bread which has come down out of heaven. Jn. 6:41
And they said, Is not this Jesus the son of Joseph, whose father and mother we have known? how then does *he* say, I am come down out of heaven? Jn. 6:42
No one can come to me except the Father who has sent me draw him, and I will raise him up in the last day. Jn. 6:44
It is written in the prophets, And they shall be all taught of God. Every one that has heard from the Father himself, and has learned of him, comes to me; Jn. 6:45
not that any one has seen the Father, except he who is of God, he has seen the Father. Jn. 6:46
I am the bread of life. Jn. 6:48
Your fathers ate the manna in the wilderness and died. Jn. 6:49
This is the bread which comes down out of heaven, that one may eat of it and not die. Jn. 6:50
I am the living bread which has come down out of heaven: if any one shall have eaten of this bread he shall live for ever; but the bread withal which I shall give is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the world. Jn. 6:51
The Jews therefore contended among themselves, saying, How can he give us this flesh to eat? Jn. 6:52
Jesus therefore said to them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Unless ye shall have eaten the flesh of the Son of man, and drunk his blood, ye have no life in yourselves. Jn. 6:53
He that eats my flesh and drinks my blood has life eternal, and I will raise him up at the last day: Jn. 6:54
As the living Father has sent me and I live on account of the Father, *he* also who eats me shall live also on account of me. Jn. 6:57
This is the bread which has come down out of heaven. Not as the fathers ate and died: he that eats this bread shall live for ever. Jn. 6:58
These things he said in the synagogue, teaching in Capernaum. Jn. 6:59
If then ye see the Son of man ascending up where he was before? Jn. 6:62
It is the Spirit which quickens, the flesh profits nothing: the words which I have spoken unto you are spirit and are life. Jn. 6:63
But there are some of you who do not believe. For Jesus knew from the beginning who they were who did not believe, and who would deliver him up. Jn. 6:64
And he said, Therefore said I unto you, that no one can come to me unless it be given to him from the Father. Jn. 6:65
Jesus therefore said to the twelve, Will ye also go away? Jn. 6:67
and we have believed and known that thou art the holy one of God. Jn. 6:69
Jesus answered them, Have not I chosen you the twelve? and of you one is a devil. Jn. 6:70
Now he spoke of Judas the son of Simon, Iscariote, for he it was who should deliver him up, being one of the twelve. Jn. 6:71
And after these things Jesus walked in Galilee, for he would not walk in Judaea, because the Jews sought to kill him. Jn. 7:1
Now the tabernacles, the feast of the Jews, was near. Jn. 7:2
for no one does anything in secret and himself seeks to be known in public. If thou doest these things, manifest thyself to the world: Jn. 7:4
The world cannot hate you, but me it hates, because I bear witness concerning it that its works are evil. Jn. 7:7
But when his brethren had gone up, then he himself also went up to the feast, not openly, but as in secret. Jn. 7:10
The Jews therefore sought him at the feast, and said, Where is he? Jn. 7:11
And there was much murmuring concerning him among the crowds. Some said, He is a good man; others said, No; but he deceives the crowd. Jn. 7:12
However, no one spoke openly concerning him on account of their fear of the Jews. Jn. 7:13
But when it was now the middle of the feast, Jesus went up into the temple and taught. Jn. 7:14
The Jews therefore wondered, saying, How knows this man letters, having never learned? Jn. 7:15
If any one desire to practise his will, he shall know concerning the doctrine, whether it is of God, or that I speak from myself. Jn. 7:17
He that speaks from himself seeks his own glory; but he that seeks the glory of him that has sent him, he is true, and unrighteousness is not in him. Jn. 7:18
Has not Moses given you the law, and no one of you practises the law? Why do ye seek to kill me? Jn. 7:19
The crowd answered and said, Thou hast a demon: who seeks to kill thee? Jn. 7:20
Therefore Moses gave you circumcision (not that it is of Moses, but of the fathers), and ye circumcise a man on sabbath. Jn. 7:22
If a man receives circumcision on sabbath, that the law of Moses may not be violated, are ye angry with me because I have made a man entirely sound on sabbath? Jn. 7:23
and behold, he speaks openly, and they say nothing to him. Have the rulers then indeed recognised that this is the Christ? Jn. 7:26
But as to this man we know whence he is. Now as to the Christ, when he comes, no one knows whence he is. Jn. 7:27
Jesus therefore cried out in the temple, teaching and saying, Ye both know me and ye know whence I am; and I am not come of myself, but he that sent me is true, whom ye do not know. Jn. 7:28
But many of the crowd believed on him, and said, Will the Christ, when he comes, do more signs than those which this man has done? Jn. 7:31
The Pharisees heard the crowd murmuring these things concerning him, and the Pharisees and the chief priests sent officers that they might take him. Jn. 7:32
The Jews therefore said to one another, Where is he about to go that we shall not find him? Is he about to go to the dispersion among the Greeks, and teach the Greeks? Jn. 7:35
In the last, the great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried saying, If any one thirst, let him come to me and drink. Jn. 7:37
He that believes on me, as the scripture has said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water. Jn. 7:38
But this he said concerning the Spirit, which they that believed on him were about to receive; for the Spirit was not yet, because Jesus had not yet been glorified. Jn. 7:39
Some out of the crowd therefore, having heard this word, said, This is truly the prophet. Jn. 7:40
Others said, This is the Christ. Others said, Does then the Christ come out of Galilee? Jn. 7:41
Has not the scripture said that the Christ comes of the seed of David, and from the village of Bethlehem, where David was? Jn. 7:42
There was a division therefore in the crowd on account of him. Jn. 7:43
The officers therefore came to the chief priests and Pharisees, and they said to them, Why have ye not brought him? Jn. 7:45
The officers answered, Never man spoke thus, as this man speaks. Jn. 7:46
The Pharisees therefore answered them, Are ye also deceived? Jn. 7:47
Has any one of the rulers believed on him, or of the Pharisees? Jn. 7:48
But this crowd, which does not know the law, are accursed. Jn. 7:49
But Jesus went to the mount of Olives. Jn. 8:1
And early in the morning he came again into the temple, and all the people came to him; and he sat down and taught them. Jn. 8:2
And the scribes and the Pharisees bring to him a woman taken in adultery, and having set her in the midst, Jn. 8:3
they say to him, Teacher, this woman has been taken in the very act, committing adultery. Jn. 8:4
Now in the law Moses has commanded us to stone such; thou therefore, what sayest thou? Jn. 8:5
But this they said proving him, that they might have something to accuse him of. But Jesus, having stooped down, wrote with his finger on the ground. Jn. 8:6
But when they continued asking him, he lifted himself up and said to them, Let him that is without sin among you first cast the stone at her. Jn. 8:7
And again stooping down he wrote on the ground. Jn. 8:8
But they, having heard that, went out one by one beginning from the elder ones until the last; and Jesus was left alone and the woman standing there. Jn. 8:9
And Jesus, lifting himself up and seeing no one but the woman, said to her, Woman, where are those thine accusers? Has no one condemned thee? Jn. 8:10
Again therefore Jesus spoke to them, saying, I am the light of the world; he that follows me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life. Jn. 8:12
The Pharisees therefore said to him, Thou bearest witness concerning thyself; thy witness is not true. Jn. 8:13
Ye judge according to the flesh, I judge no one. Jn. 8:15
And if also I judge, my judgment is true, because I am not alone, but I and the Father who has sent me. Jn. 8:16
And in your law too it is written that the testimony of two men is true: Jn. 8:17
I am one who bear witness concerning myself, and the Father who has sent me bears witness concerning me. Jn. 8:18
These words spoke he in the treasury, teaching in the temple; and no one took him, for his hour was not yet come. Jn. 8:20
The Jews therefore said, Will he kill himself, that he says, Where I go ye cannot come? Jn. 8:22
I have many things to say and to judge concerning you, but he that has sent me is true, and I, what I have heard from him, these things I say to the world. Jn. 8:26
They knew not that he spoke to them of the Father. Jn. 8:27
Jesus therefore said to them, When ye shall have lifted up the Son of man, then ye shall know that I am he, and that I do nothing of myself, but as the Father has taught me I speak these things. Jn. 8:28
And he that has sent me is with me; he has not left me alone, because I do always the things that are pleasing to him. Jn. 8:29
Jesus therefore said to the Jews who believed him, If ye abide in my word, ye are truly my disciples; Jn. 8:31
and ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall set you free. Jn. 8:32
Jesus answered them, Verily, verily, I say to you, Every one that practises sin is the bondman of sin. Jn. 8:34
Now the bondman abides not in the house for ever: the son abides for ever. Jn. 8:35
If therefore the Son shall set you free, ye shall be really free. Jn. 8:36
They answered and said to him, Abraham is our father. Jesus says to them, If ye were Abraham's children, ye would do the works of Abraham; Jn. 8:39
but now ye seek to kill me, a man who has spoken the truth to you, which I have heard from God: this did not Abraham. Jn. 8:40
Ye do the works of your father. They said therefore to him, We are not born of fornication; we have one father, God. Jn. 8:41
Ye are of the devil, as your father, and ye desire to do the lusts of your father. He was a murderer from the beginning, and has not stood in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaks falsehood, he speaks of what is his own; for he is a liar and its father: Jn. 8:44
and because I speak the truth, ye do not believe me. Jn. 8:45
He that is of God hears the words of God: therefore ye hear them not, because ye are not of God. Jn. 8:47
The Jews answered and said to him, Say we not well that thou art a Samaritan and hast a demon? Jn. 8:48
The Jews therefore said to him, Now we know that thou hast a demon. Abraham has died, and the prophets, and thou sayest, If any one keep my word, he shall never taste death. Jn. 8:52
Art thou greater than our father Abraham, who has died? and the prophets have died: whom makest thou thyself? Jn. 8:53
The Jews therefore said to him, Thou hast not yet fifty years, and hast thou seen Abraham? Jn. 8:57
They took up therefore stones that they might cast them at him; but Jesus hid himself and went out of the temple, going through the midst of them, and thus passed on. Jn. 8:59
Jesus answered, Neither has this man sinned nor his parents, but that the works of God should be manifested in him. Jn. 9:3
I must work the works of him that has sent me while it is day. The night is coming, when no one can work. Jn. 9:4
As long as I am in the world, I am the light of the world. Jn. 9:5
Having said these things, he spat on the ground and made mud of the spittle, and put the mud, as ointment, on his eyes. Jn. 9:6
And he said to him, Go, wash in the pool of Siloam, which is interpreted, Sent. He went therefore and washed, and came seeing. Jn. 9:7
The neighbours therefore, and those who used to see him before, that he was a beggar, said, Is not this he that was sitting and begging? Jn. 9:8
They bring him who was before blind to the Pharisees. Jn. 9:13
Now it was sabbath when Jesus made the mud and opened his eyes. Jn. 9:14
The Pharisees therefore also again asked him how he received his sight. And he said to them, He put mud upon mine eyes, and I washed, and I see. Jn. 9:15
Some of the Pharisees therefore said, This man is not of God, for he does not keep the sabbath. Others said, How can a sinful man perform such signs? And there was a division among them. Jn. 9:16
They say therefore again to the blind man, What dost thou say of him, that he has opened thine eyes? And he said, He is a prophet. Jn. 9:17
The Jews therefore did not believe concerning him that he was blind and had received sight, until they had called the parents of him that had received sight. Jn. 9:18
His parents said these things because they feared the Jews, for the Jews had already agreed that if any one confessed him to be the Christ, he should be excommunicated from the synagogue. Jn. 9:22
They called therefore a second time the man who had been blind, and said to him, Give glory to God: we know that this man is sinful. Jn. 9:24
The man answered and said to them, Now in this is a wonderful thing, that *ye* do not know whence he is, and he has opened mine eyes. Jn. 9:30
Since time was, it has not been heard that any one opened the eyes of one born blind. Jn. 9:32
Jesus heard that they had cast him out, and having found him, he said to him, Thou, dost thou believe on the Son of God? Jn. 9:35
And some of the Pharisees who were with him heard these things, and they said to him, Are we blind also? Jn. 9:40
Verily, verily, I say to you, He that enters not in by the door to the fold of the sheep, but mounts up elsewhere, *he* is a thief and a robber; Jn. 10:1
but he that enters in by the door is the shepherd of the sheep. Jn. 10:2
To him the porter opens; and the sheep hear his voice; and he calls his own sheep by name, and leads them out. Jn. 10:3
When he has put forth all his own, he goes before them, and the sheep follow him, because they know his voice. Jn. 10:4
But they will not follow a stranger, but will flee from him, because they know not the voice of strangers. Jn. 10:5
Jesus therefore said again to them, Verily, verily, I say to you, I am the door of the sheep. Jn. 10:7
All whoever came before me are thieves and robbers; but the sheep did not hear them. Jn. 10:8
I am the door: if any one enter in by me, he shall be saved, and shall go in and shall go out and shall find pasture. Jn. 10:9
The thief comes not but that he may steal, and kill, and destroy: I am come that they might have life, and might have it abundantly. Jn. 10:10
I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep: Jn. 10:11
but he who serves for wages, and who is not the shepherd, whose own the sheep are not, sees the wolf coming, and leaves the sheep and flees; and the wolf seizes them and scatters the sheep. Jn. 10:12
Now he who serves for wages flees because he serves for wages, and is not himself concerned about the sheep. Jn. 10:13
I am the good shepherd; and I know those that are mine, and am known of those that are mine, Jn. 10:14
as the Father knows me and I know the Father; and I lay down my life for the sheep. Jn. 10:15
On this account the Father loves me, because I lay down my life that I may take it again. Jn. 10:17
There was a division again among the Jews on account of these words; Jn. 10:19
Now the feast of the dedication was celebrating at Jerusalem, and it was winter. Jn. 10:22
And Jesus walked in the temple in the porch of Solomon. Jn. 10:23
The Jews therefore surrounded him, and said to him, Until when dost thou hold our soul in suspense? If thou art the Christ, say so to us openly. Jn. 10:24
Jesus answered them, I told you, and ye do not believe. The works which I do in my Father's name, these bear witness concerning me: Jn. 10:25
My Father who has given them to me is greater than all, and no one can seize out of the hand of my Father. Jn. 10:29
I and the Father are one. Jn. 10:30
The Jews therefore again took stones that they might stone him. Jn. 10:31
The Jews answered him, For a good work we stone thee not, but for blasphemy, and because thou, being a man, makest thyself God. Jn. 10:33
If he called *them* gods to whom the word of God came (and the scripture cannot be broken), Jn. 10:35
do ye say of him whom the Father has sanctified and sent into the world, Thou blasphemest, because I said, I am Son of God? Jn. 10:36
If I do not the works of my Father, believe me not; Jn. 10:37
but if I do, even if ye believe not me, believe the works, that ye may know and believe that the Father is in me and I in him. Jn. 10:38
and departed again beyond the Jordan to the place where John was baptising at the first: and he abode there. Jn. 10:40
Now there was a certain man sick, Lazarus of Bethany, of the village of Mary and Martha her sister. Jn. 11:1
It was the Mary who anointed the Lord with ointment and wiped his feet with her hair, whose brother Lazarus was sick. Jn. 11:2
The sisters therefore sent to him, saying, Lord, behold, he whom thou lovest is sick. Jn. 11:3
But when Jesus heard it, he said, This sickness is not unto death, but for the glory of God, that the Son of God may be glorified by it. Jn. 11:4
When therefore he heard, He is sick, he remained two days then in the place where he was. Jn. 11:6
The disciples say to him, Rabbi, even but now the Jews sought to stone thee, and goest thou thither again? Jn. 11:8
Jesus answered, Are there not twelve hours in the day? If any one walk in the day, he does not stumble, because he sees the light of this world; Jn. 11:9
but if any one walk in the night, he stumbles, because the light is not in him. Jn. 11:10
The disciples therefore said to him, Lord, if he be fallen asleep, he will get well. Jn. 11:12
But Jesus spoke of his death, but *they* thought that he spoke of the rest of sleep. Jn. 11:13
Jesus therefore on arriving found him to have been four days already in the tomb. Jn. 11:17
and many of the Jews came to Martha and Mary, that they might console them concerning their brother. Jn. 11:19
Martha then, when she heard Jesus is coming, went to meet him; but Mary sat in the house. Jn. 11:20
Martha says to him, I know that he will rise again in the resurrection in the last day. Jn. 11:24
Jesus said to her, I am the resurrection and the life: he that believes on me, though he have died, shall live; Jn. 11:25
She says to him, Yea, Lord; I believe that thou art the Christ, the Son of God, who should come into the world. Jn. 11:27
And having said this, she went away and called her sister Mary secretly, saying, The teacher is come and calls thee. Jn. 11:28
Now Jesus had not yet come into the village, but was in the place where Martha came to meet him. Jn. 11:30
The Jews therefore who were with her in the house and consoling her, seeing Mary that she rose up quickly and went out, followed her, saying, She goes to the tomb, that she may weep there. Jn. 11:31
Jesus therefore, when he saw her weeping, and the Jews who came with her weeping, was deeply moved in spirit, and was troubled, Jn. 11:33
The Jews therefore said, Behold how he loved him! Jn. 11:36
And some of them said, Could not this man, who has opened the eyes of the blind man, have caused that this man also should not have died? Jn. 11:37
Jesus therefore, again deeply moved in himself, comes to the tomb. Now it was a cave, and a stone lay upon it. Jn. 11:38
Jesus says, Take away the stone. Martha, the sister of the dead, says to him, Lord, he stinks already, for he is four days there. Jn. 11:39
Jesus says to her, Did I not say to thee, that if thou shouldest believe, thou shouldest see the glory of God? Jn. 11:40
They took therefore the stone away. And Jesus lifted up his eyes on high and said, Father, I thank thee that thou hast heard me; Jn. 11:41
but I knew that thou always hearest me; but on account of the crowd who stand around I have said it, that they may believe that thou hast sent me. Jn. 11:42
And the dead came forth, bound feet and hands with graveclothes, and his face was bound round with a handkerchief. Jesus says to them, Loose him and let him go. Jn. 11:44
Many therefore of the Jews who came to Mary and saw what he had done, believed on him; Jn. 11:45
but some of them went to the Pharisees and told them what Jesus had done. Jn. 11:46
The chief priests, therefore, and the Pharisees gathered a council, and said, What do we? for this man does many signs. Jn. 11:47
If we let him thus alone, all will believe on him, and the Romans will come and take away both our place and our nation. Jn. 11:48
nor consider that it is profitable for you that one man die for the people, and not that the whole nation perish. Jn. 11:50
But this he did not say of himself; but, being high priest that year, prophesied that Jesus was going to die for the nation; Jn. 11:51
and not for the nation only, but that he should also gather together into one the children of God who were scattered abroad. Jn. 11:52
Jesus therefore walked no longer openly among the Jews, but went away thence into the country near the desert, to a city called Ephraim, and there he sojourned with the disciples. Jn. 11:54
But the passover of the Jews was near, and many went up to Jerusalem out of the country before the passover, that they might purify themselves. Jn. 11:55
They sought therefore Jesus, and said among themselves, standing in the temple, What do ye think? that he will not come to the feast? Jn. 11:56
Now the chief priests and the Pharisees had given commandment that if any one knew where he was, he should make it known, that they might take him. Jn. 11:57
Jesus therefore, six days before the passover, came to Bethany, where was the dead man Lazarus, whom Jesus raised from among the dead. Jn. 12:1
Mary therefore, having taken a pound of ointment of pure nard of great price, anointed the feet of Jesus, and wiped his feet with her hair, and the house was filled with the odour of the ointment. Jn. 12:3
Why was this ointment not sold for three hundred denarii and given to the poor? Jn. 12:5
But he said this, not that he cared for the poor, but because he was a thief and had the bag, and carried what was put into it. Jn. 12:6
Jesus therefore said, Suffer her to have kept this for the day of my preparation for burial; Jn. 12:7
for ye have the poor always with you, but me ye have not always. Jn. 12:8
A great crowd therefore of the Jews knew that he was there; and they came, not because of Jesus only, but also that they might see Lazarus whom he raised from among the dead. Jn. 12:9
But the chief priests took counsel that they might kill Lazarus also, Jn. 12:10
because many of the Jews went away on his account and believed on Jesus. Jn. 12:11
On the morrow a great crowd who came to the feast, having heard that Jesus is coming into Jerusalem, Jn. 12:12
took branches of palms and went out to meet him, and cried, Hosanna, blessed is he that comes in the name of the Lord, the King of Israel. Jn. 12:13
Now his disciples knew not these things at the first; but when Jesus was glorified, then they remembered that these things were written of him, and that they had done these things to him. Jn. 12:16
The crowd therefore that was with him bore witness because he had called Lazarus out of the tomb, and raised him from among the dead. Jn. 12:17
Therefore also the crowd met him because they had heard that he had done this sign. Jn. 12:18
The Pharisees therefore said to one another, Ye see that ye profit nothing: behold, the world is gone after him. Jn. 12:19
And there were certain Greeks among those who came up that they might worship in the feast; Jn. 12:20
But Jesus answered them saying, The hour is come that the Son of man should be glorified. Jn. 12:23
Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except the grain of wheat falling into the ground die, it abides alone; but if it die, it bears much fruit. Jn. 12:24
If any one serve me, let him follow me; and where I am, there also shall be *my* servant. And if any one serve me, him shall the Father honour. Jn. 12:26
The crowd therefore, which stood there and heard it, said that it had thundered. Others said, An angel has spoken to him. Jn. 12:29
Now is the judgment of this world; now shall the prince of this world be cast out: Jn. 12:31
and I, if I be lifted up out of the earth, will draw all to me. Jn. 12:32
The crowd answered him, We have heard out of the law that the Christ abides for ever; and how sayest thou that the Son of man must be lifted up? Who *is* this, the Son of man? Jn. 12:34
Jesus therefore said to them, Yet a little while is the light amongst you. Walk while ye have the light, that darkness may not overtake you. And he who walks in the darkness does not know where he goes. Jn. 12:35
While ye have the light, believe in the light, that ye may become sons of light. Jesus said these things, and going away hid himself from them. Jn. 12:36
that the word of the prophet Esaias which he said might be fulfilled, Lord, who has believed our report? and to whom has the arm of the Lord been revealed? Jn. 12:38
Although indeed from among the rulers also many believed on him, but on account of the Pharisees did not confess him, that they might not be put out of the synagogue: Jn. 12:42
I am come into the world as light, that every one that believes on me may not abide in darkness; Jn. 12:46
and if any one hear my words and do not keep them, I judge him not, for I am not come that I might judge the world, but that I might save the world. Jn. 12:47
He that rejects me and does not receive my words, has him who judges him: the word which I have spoken, that shall judge him in the last day. Jn. 12:48
For I have not spoken from myself, but the Father who sent me has himself given me commandment what I should say and what I should speak; Jn. 12:49
and I know that his commandment is life eternal. What therefore I speak, as the Father has said to me, so I speak. Jn. 12:50
Now before the feast of the passover, Jesus, knowing that his hour had come that he should depart out of this world to the Father, having loved his own who were in the world, loved them to the end. Jn. 13:1
And during supper, the devil having already put it into the heart of Judas son of Simon, Iscariote, that he should deliver him up, Jn. 13:2
Jesus, knowing that the Father had given him all things into his hands, and that he came out from God and was going to God, Jn. 13:3
then he pours water into the washhand basin, and began to wash the feet of the disciples, and to wipe them with the linen towel with which he was girded. Jn. 13:5
Ye call me the Teacher and the Lord, and ye say well, for I am so. Jn. 13:13
If I therefore, the Lord and the Teacher, have washed your feet, ye also ought to wash one another's feet; Jn. 13:14
Verily, verily, I say to you, The bondman is not greater than his lord, nor the sent greater than he who has sent him. Jn. 13:16
I speak not of you all. I know those whom I have chosen; but that the scripture might be fulfilled, He that eats bread with me has lifted up his heel against me. Jn. 13:18
The disciples therefore looked one on another, doubting of whom he spoke. Jn. 13:22
Now there was at table one of his disciples in the bosom of Jesus, whom Jesus loved. Jn. 13:23
But he, leaning on the breast of Jesus, says to him, Lord, who is it? Jn. 13:25
Jesus answers, He it is to whom I, after I have dipped the morsel, give it. And having dipped the morsel, he gives it to Judas son of Simon, Iscariote. Jn. 13:26
And, after the morsel, then entered Satan into him. Jesus therefore says to him, What thou doest, do quickly. Jn. 13:27
for some supposed, because Judas had the bag, that Jesus was saying to him, Buy the things of which we have need for the feast; or that he should give something to the poor. Jn. 13:29
Having therefore received the morsel, he went out immediately; and it was night. Jn. 13:30
When therefore he was gone out Jesus says, Now is the Son of man glorified, and God is glorified in him. Jn. 13:31
Children, yet a little while I am with you. Ye shall seek me; and, as I said to the Jews, Where I go ye cannot come, I say to you also now. Jn. 13:33
Jesus answers, Thou wilt lay down thy life for me! Verily, verily, I say to thee, The cock shall not crow till thou hast denied me thrice. Jn. 13:38
And ye know where I go, and ye know the way. Jn. 14:4
Thomas says to him, Lord, we know not where thou goest, and how can we know the way? Jn. 14:5
Jesus says to him, I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father unless by me. Jn. 14:6
Philip says to him, Lord, shew us the Father and it suffices us. Jn. 14:8
Jesus says to him, Am I so long a time with you, and thou hast not known me, Philip? He that has seen me has seen the Father; and how sayest thou, Shew us the Father? Jn. 14:9
Believest thou not that I am in the Father, and that the Father is in me? The words which I speak to you I do not speak from myself; but the Father who abides in me, he does the works. Jn. 14:10
Believe *me* that I am in the Father and the Father in me; but if not, believe me for the works' sake themselves. Jn. 14:11
Verily, verily, I say to you, He that believes on me, the works which I do shall he do also, and he shall do greater than these, because I go to the Father. Jn. 14:12
And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, this will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. Jn. 14:13
And I will beg the Father, and he will give you another Comforter, that he may be with you for ever, Jn. 14:16
the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it does not see him nor know him; but ye know him, for he abides with you, and shall be in you. Jn. 14:17
Yet a little and the world sees me no longer; but ye see me; because I live ye also shall live. Jn. 14:19
Judas, not the Iscariote, says to him, Lord, how is it that thou wilt manifest thyself to us and not to the world? Jn. 14:22
He that loves me not does not keep my words; and the word which ye hear is not mine, but that of the Father who has sent me. Jn. 14:24
but the Comforter, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, *he* shall teach you all things, and will bring to your remembrance all the things which I have said to you. Jn. 14:26
I leave peace with you; I give *my* peace to you: not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it fear. Jn. 14:27
Ye have heard that I have said unto you, I go away and I am coming to you. If ye loved me ye would rejoice that I go to the Father, for my Father is greater than I. Jn. 14:28
I will no longer speak much with you, for the ruler of the world comes, and in me he has nothing; Jn. 14:30
but that the world may know that I love the Father, and as the Father has commanded me, thus I do. Rise up, let us go hence. Jn. 14:31
I am the true vine, and my Father is the husbandman. Jn. 15:1
Ye are already clean by reason of the word which I have spoken to you. Jn. 15:3
Abide in me and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself unless it abide in the vine, thus neither can ye unless ye abide in me. Jn. 15:4
I am the vine, ye are the branches. He that abides in me and I in him, *he* bears much fruit; for without me ye can do nothing. Jn. 15:5
Unless any one abide in me he is cast out as the branch, and is dried up; and they gather them and cast them into the fire, and they are burned. Jn. 15:6
As the Father has loved me, I also have loved you: abide in my love. Jn. 15:9
I call you no longer bondmen, for the bondman does not know what his master is doing; but I have called you friends, for all things which I have heard of my Father I have made known to you. Jn. 15:15
Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and have set you that ye should go and that ye should bear fruit, and that your fruit should abide, that whatsoever ye shall ask the Father in my name he may give you. Jn. 15:16
If the world hate you, know that it has hated me before you. Jn. 15:18
If ye were of the world, the world would love its own; but because ye are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, on account of this the world hates you. Jn. 15:19
Remember the word which I said unto you, The bondman is not greater than his master. If they have persecuted me, they will also persecute you; if they have kept my word, they will keep also yours. Jn. 15:20
If I had not done among them the works which no other one has done, they had not had sin; but now they have both seen and hated both me and my Father. Jn. 15:24
But that the word written in their law might be fulfilled, They hated me without a cause. Jn. 15:25
But when the Comforter is come, whom I will send to you from the Father, the Spirit of truth who goes forth from with the Father, *he* shall bear witness concerning me; Jn. 15:26
and ye too bear witness, because ye are with me from the beginning. Jn. 15:27
They shall put you out of the synagogues; but the hour is coming that every one who kills you will think to render service to God; Jn. 16:2
and these things they will do because they have not known the Father nor me. Jn. 16:3
But I have spoken these things to you, that when their hour shall have come, ye may remember them, that I have said them unto you. But I did not say these things unto you from the beginning, because I was with you. Jn. 16:4
But I say the truth to you, It is profitable for you that I go away; for if I do not go away, the Comforter will not come to you; but if I go I will send him to you. Jn. 16:7
And having come, he will bring demonstration to the world, of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment: Jn. 16:8
of judgment, because the ruler of this world is judged. Jn. 16:11
But when *he* is come, the Spirit of truth, he shall guide you into all the truth: for he shall not speak from himself; but whatsoever he shall hear he shall speak; and he will announce to you what is coming. Jn. 16:13
All things that the Father has are mine; on account of this I have said that he receives of mine and shall announce it to you. Jn. 16:15
A little while and ye do not behold me; and again a little while and ye shall see me, because I go away to the Father. Jn. 16:16
Some of his disciples therefore said to one another, What is this he says to us, A little while and ye do not behold me; and again a little while and ye shall see me, and, Because I go away to the Father? Jn. 16:17
They said therefore, What is this which he says of the little while? We do not know of what he speaks. Jn. 16:18
Verily, verily, I say to you, that ye shall weep and lament, ye, but the world shall rejoice; and ye will be grieved, but your grief shall be turned to joy. Jn. 16:20
A woman, when she gives birth to a child, has grief because her hour has come; but when the child is born, she no longer remembers the trouble, on account of the joy that a man has been born into the world. Jn. 16:21
And in that day ye shall demand nothing of me: verily, verily, I say to you, Whatsoever ye shall ask the Father in my name, he will give you. Jn. 16:23
These things I have spoken to you in allegories; the hour is coming that I will no longer speak to you in allegories, but will declare to you openly concerning the Father. Jn. 16:25
In that day ye shall ask in my name; and I say not to you that I will demand of the Father for you, Jn. 16:26
for the Father himself has affection for you, because ye have had affection for me, and have believed that I came out from God. Jn. 16:27
I came out from the Father and have come into the world; again, I leave the world and go to the Father. Jn. 16:28
Behold, the hour is coming, and has come, that ye shall be scattered, each to his own, and shall leave me alone; and yet I am not alone, for the Father is with me. Jn. 16:32
These things have I spoken to you that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye have tribulation; but be of good courage: I have overcome the world. Jn. 16:33
These things Jesus spoke, and lifted up his eyes to heaven and said, Father, the hour is come; glorify thy Son, that thy Son may glorify thee; Jn. 17:1
And this is the eternal life, that they should know thee, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom thou hast sent. Jn. 17:3
I have glorified *thee* on the earth, I have completed the work which thou gavest me that I should do it; Jn. 17:4
and now glorify *me*, *thou* Father, along with thyself, with the glory which I had along with thee before the world was. Jn. 17:5
I have manifested thy name to the men whom thou gavest me out of the world. They were thine, and thou gavest them me, and they have kept thy word. Jn. 17:6
for the words which thou hast given me I have given them, and they have received them, and have known truly that I came out from thee, and have believed that thou sentest me. Jn. 17:8
I demand concerning them; I do not demand concerning the world, but concerning those whom thou hast given me, for they are thine, Jn. 17:9
And I am no longer in the world, and these are in the world, and I come to thee. Holy Father, keep them in thy name which thou hast given me, that they may be one as we. Jn. 17:11
When I was with them I kept them in thy name; those thou hast given me I have guarded, and not one of them has perished, but the son of perdition, that the scripture might be fulfilled. Jn. 17:12
And now I come to thee. And these things I speak in the world, that they may have my joy fulfilled in them. Jn. 17:13
I have given them thy word, and the world has hated them, because they are not of the world, as I am not of the world. Jn. 17:14
I do not demand that thou shouldest take them out of the world, but that thou shouldest keep them out of evil. Jn. 17:15
They are not of the world, as I am not of the world. Jn. 17:16
Sanctify them by the truth: thy word is truth. Jn. 17:17
As thou hast sent me into the world, I also have sent them into the world; Jn. 17:18
that they may be all one, as thou, Father, art in me, and I in thee, that they also may be one in us, that the world may believe that thou hast sent me. Jn. 17:21
And the glory which thou hast given me I have given them, that they may be one, as we are one; Jn. 17:22
I in them and thou in me, that they may be perfected into one and that the world may know that thou hast sent me, and that thou hast loved them as thou hast loved me. Jn. 17:23
Father, as to those whom thou hast given me, I desire that where I am they also may be with me, that they may behold my glory which thou hast given me, for thou lovedst me before the foundation of the world. Jn. 17:24
Righteous Father, -- and the world has not known thee, but I have known thee, and these have known that thou hast sent me. Jn. 17:25
And I have made known to them thy name, and will make it known; that the love with which thou hast loved me may be in them and I in them. Jn. 17:26
Jesus, having said these things, went out with his disciples beyond the torrent Cedron, where was a garden, into which he entered, he and his disciples. Jn. 18:1
And Judas also, who delivered him up, knew the place, because Jesus was often there, in company with his disciples. Jn. 18:2
Judas therefore, having got the band, and officers of the chief priests and Pharisees, comes there with lanterns and torches and weapons. Jn. 18:3
They answered him, Jesus the Nazaraean. Jesus says to them, I am he. And Judas also, who delivered him up, stood with them. Jn. 18:5
When therefore he said to them, I am he, they went away backward and fell to the ground. Jn. 18:6
He demanded of them therefore again, Whom seek ye? And they said, Jesus the Nazaraean. Jn. 18:7
that the word might be fulfilled which he spoke, As to those whom thou hast given me, I have not lost one of them. Jn. 18:9
Simon Peter therefore, having a sword, drew it, and smote the bondman of the high priest and cut off his right ear; and the bondman's name was Malchus. Jn. 18:10
Jesus therefore said to Peter, Put the sword into the sheath; the cup which the Father has given me, shall I not drink it? Jn. 18:11
The band therefore, and the chiliarch, and the officers of the Jews, took Jesus and bound him: Jn. 18:12
But it was Caiaphas who counselled the Jews that it was better that one man should perish for the people. Jn. 18:14
Now Simon Peter followed Jesus, and the other disciple. But that disciple was known to the high priest, and went in with Jesus into the palace of the high priest; Jn. 18:15
but Peter stood at the door without. The other disciple therefore, who was known to the high priest, went out and spoke to the porteress and brought in Peter. Jn. 18:16
The maid therefore, who was porteress, says to Peter, Art thou also of the disciples of this man? He says, I am not. Jn. 18:17
But the bondmen and officers, having made a fire of coals (for it was cold), stood and warmed themselves; and Peter was standing with them and warming himself. Jn. 18:18
The high priest therefore demanded of Jesus concerning his disciples and concerning his doctrine. Jn. 18:19
Jesus answered him, I spoke openly to the world; I taught always in the synagogue and in the temple, where all the Jews come together, and in secret I have spoken nothing. Jn. 18:20
But as he said these things, one of the officers who stood by gave a blow on the face to Jesus, saying, Answerest thou the high priest thus? Jn. 18:22
Jesus answered him, If I have spoken evil, bear witness of the evil; but if well, why smitest thou me? Jn. 18:23
Annas then had sent him bound to Caiaphas the high priest. Jn. 18:24
One of the bondmen of the high priest, who was kinsman of him whose ear Peter cut off, says, Did not I see thee in the garden with him? Jn. 18:26
Peter denied therefore again, and immediately the cock crew. Jn. 18:27
They lead therefore Jesus from Caiaphas to the praetorium; and it was early morn. And *they* entered not into the praetorium, that they might not be defiled, but eat the passover. Jn. 18:28
Pilate therefore said to them, Take him, ye, and judge him according to your law. The Jews therefore said to him, It is not permitted to us to put any one to death; Jn. 18:31
that the word of Jesus might be fulfilled which he spoke, signifying what death he should die. Jn. 18:32
Pilate therefore entered again into the praetorium and called Jesus, and said to him, Thou art the king of the Jews? Jn. 18:33
Pilate answered, Am I a Jew? Thy nation and the chief priests have delivered thee up to me: what hast thou done? Jn. 18:35
Jesus answered, My kingdom is not of this world; if my kingdom were of this world, my servants had fought that I might not be delivered up to the Jews; but now my kingdom is not from hence. Jn. 18:36
Pilate therefore said to him, Thou art then a king? Jesus answered, Thou sayest it, that I am a king. I have been born for this, and for this I have come into the world, that I might bear witness to the truth. Every one that is of the truth hears my voice. Jn. 18:37
Pilate says to him, What is truth? And having said this he went out again to the Jews, and says to them, I find no fault whatever in him. Jn. 18:38
But ye have a custom that I release some one to you at the passover; will ye therefore that I release unto you the king of the Jews? Jn. 18:39
And the soldiers having plaited a crown of thorns put it on his head, and put a purple robe on him, Jn. 19:2
and came to him and said, Hail, king of the Jews! and gave him blows on the face. Jn. 19:3
(Jesus therefore went forth without, wearing the crown of thorn, and the purple robe.) And he says to them, Behold the man! Jn. 19:5
When therefore the chief priests and the officers saw him they cried out saying, Crucify, crucify him. Pilate says to them, Take him ye and crucify him, for I find no fault in him. Jn. 19:6
The Jews answered him, We have a law, and according to our law he ought to die, because he made himself Son of God. Jn. 19:7
When Pilate therefore heard this word, he was the rather afraid, Jn. 19:8
and went into the praetorium again and says to Jesus, Whence art thou? But Jesus gave him no answer. Jn. 19:9
Jesus answered, Thou hadst no authority whatever against me if it were not given to thee from above. On this account he that has delivered me up to thee has the greater sin. Jn. 19:11
From this time Pilate sought to release him; but the Jews cried out saying, If thou releasest this man, thou art not a friend to Caesar. Every one making himself a king speaks against Caesar. Jn. 19:12
Pilate therefore, having heard these words, led Jesus out and sat down upon the judgment-seat, at a place called Pavement, but in Hebrew Gabbatha; Jn. 19:13
(now it was the preparation of the passover; it was about the sixth hour;) and he says to the Jews, Behold your king! Jn. 19:14
But they cried out, Take him away, take him away, crucify him. Pilate says to them, Shall I crucify your king? The chief priests answered, We have no king but Caesar. Jn. 19:15
And he went out, bearing his cross, to the place called place of a skull, which is called in Hebrew, Golgotha; Jn. 19:17
where they crucified him, and with him two others, one on this side, and one on that, and Jesus in the middle. Jn. 19:18
And Pilate wrote a title also and put it on the cross. But there was written: Jesus the Nazaraean, the King of the Jews. Jn. 19:19
This title therefore many of the Jews read, for the place of the city where Jesus was crucified was near; and it was written in Hebrew, Greek, Latin. Jn. 19:20
The chief priests of the Jews therefore said to Pilate, Do not write, The king of the Jews, but that *he* said, I am king of the Jews. Jn. 19:21
The soldiers therefore, when they had crucified Jesus, took his clothes, and made four parts, to each soldier a part, and the body-coat; but the body-coat was seamless, woven through the whole from the top. Jn. 19:23
They said therefore to one another, Let us not rend it, but let us cast lots for it, whose it shall be; that the scripture might be fulfilled which says, They parted my garments among themselves, and on my vesture they cast lots. The soldiers therefore did these things. Jn. 19:24
And by the cross of Jesus stood his mother, and the sister of his mother, Mary the wife of Clopas, and Mary of Magdala. Jn. 19:25
Jesus therefore, seeing his mother, and the disciple standing by, whom he loved, says to his mother, Woman, behold thy son. Jn. 19:26
Then he says unto the disciple, Behold thy mother. And from that hour the disciple took her to his own home. Jn. 19:27
After this, Jesus, knowing that all things were now finished, that the scripture might be fulfilled, says, I thirst. Jn. 19:28
When therefore Jesus had received the vinegar, he said, It is finished; and having bowed his head, he delivered up his spirit. Jn. 19:30
The Jews therefore, that the bodies might not remain on the cross on the sabbath, for it was the preparation, (for the day of that sabbath was a great day,) demanded of Pilate that their legs might be broken and they taken away. Jn. 19:31
The soldiers therefore came and broke the legs of the first and of the other that had been crucified with him; Jn. 19:32
but one of the soldiers pierced his side with a spear, and immediately there came out blood and water. Jn. 19:34
For these things took place that the scripture might be fulfilled, Not a bone of him shall be broken. Jn. 19:36
And after these things Joseph of Arimathaea, who was a disciple of Jesus, but secretly through fear of the Jews, demanded of Pilate that he might take the body of Jesus: and Pilate allowed it. He came therefore and took away the body of Jesus. Jn. 19:38
They took therefore the body of Jesus and bound it up in linen with the spices, as it is the custom with the Jews to prepare for burial. Jn. 19:40
But there was in the place where he had been crucified a garden, and in the garden a new tomb in which no one had ever been laid. Jn. 19:41
There therefore, on account of the preparation of the Jews, because the tomb was near, they laid Jesus. Jn. 19:42
And on the first day of the week Mary of Magdala comes in early morn to the tomb, while it was still dark, and sees the stone taken away from the tomb. Jn. 20:1
She runs therefore and comes to Simon Peter, and to the other disciple, to whom Jesus was attached, and says to them, They have taken away the Lord out of the tomb, and we know not where they have laid him. Jn. 20:2
Peter therefore went forth, and the other disciple, and came to the tomb. Jn. 20:3
And the two ran together, and the other disciple ran forward faster than Peter, and came first to the tomb, Jn. 20:4
and stooping down he sees the linen cloths lying; he did not however go in. Jn. 20:5
Simon Peter therefore comes, following him, and entered into the tomb, and sees the linen cloths lying, Jn. 20:6
and the handkerchief which was upon his head, not lying with the linen cloths, but folded up in a distinct place by itself. Jn. 20:7
Then entered in therefore the other disciple also who came first to the tomb, and he saw and believed; Jn. 20:8
for they had not yet known the scripture, that he must rise from among the dead. Jn. 20:9
The disciples therefore went away again to their own home. Jn. 20:10
But Mary stood at the tomb weeping without. As therefore she wept, she stooped down into the tomb, Jn. 20:11
and beholds two angels sitting in white garments, one at the head and one at the feet, where the body of Jesus had lain. Jn. 20:12
Jesus says to her, Woman, why dost thou weep? Whom seekest thou? She, supposing that it was the gardener, says to him, Sir, if thou hast borne him hence, tell me where thou hast laid him, and I will take him away. Jn. 20:15
Mary of Magdala comes bringing word to the disciples that she had seen the Lord, and that he had said these things to her. Jn. 20:18
When therefore it was evening on that day, which was the first day of the week, and the doors shut where the disciples were, through fear of the Jews, Jesus came and stood in the midst, and says to them, Peace be to you. Jn. 20:19
And having said this, he shewed to them his hands and his side. The disciples rejoiced therefore, having seen the Lord. Jn. 20:20
Jesus said therefore again to them, Peace be to you: as the Father sent me forth, I also send you. Jn. 20:21
And having said this, he breathed into them, and says to them, Receive the Holy Spirit: Jn. 20:22
But Thomas, one of the twelve, called Didymus, was not with them when Jesus came. Jn. 20:24
The other disciples therefore said to him, We have seen the Lord. But he said to them, Unless I see in his hands the mark of the nails, and put my finger into the mark of the nails, and put my hand into his side, I will not believe. Jn. 20:25
And eight days after, his disciples were again within, and Thomas with them. Jesus comes, the doors being shut, and stood in the midst and said, Peace be to you. Jn. 20:26
but these are written that ye may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that believing ye might have life in his name. Jn. 20:31
After these things Jesus manifested himself again to the disciples at the sea of Tiberias. And he manifested himself thus. Jn. 21:1
There were together Simon Peter, and Thomas called Didymus, and Nathanael who was of Cana of Galilee, and the sons of Zebedee, and two others of his disciples. Jn. 21:2
And early morn already breaking, Jesus stood on the shore; the disciples however did not know that it was Jesus. Jn. 21:4
And he said to them, Cast the net at the right side of the ship and ye will find. They cast therefore, and they could no longer draw it, from the multitude of fishes. Jn. 21:6
That disciple therefore whom Jesus loved says to Peter, It is the Lord. Simon Peter therefore, having heard that it was the Lord, girded his overcoat on him (for he was naked), and cast himself into the sea; Jn. 21:7
and the other disciples came in the small boat, for they were not far from the land, but somewhere about two hundred cubits, dragging the net of fishes. Jn. 21:8
When therefore they went out on the land, they see a fire of coals there, and fish laid on it, and bread. Jn. 21:9
Jesus says to them, Bring of the fishes which ye have now taken. Jn. 21:10
Simon Peter went up and drew the net to the land full of great fishes, a hundred and fifty-three; and though there were so many, the net was not rent. Jn. 21:11
Jesus says to them, Come and dine. But none of the disciples dared inquire of him, Who art thou? knowing that it was the Lord. Jn. 21:12
Jesus comes and takes the bread and gives it to them, and the fish in like manner. Jn. 21:13
This is already the third time that Jesus had been manifested to the disciples, being risen from among the dead. Jn. 21:14
He says to him the third time, Simon, son of Jonas, art thou attached to me? Peter was grieved because he said to him the third time, Art thou attached to me? and said to him, Lord, thou knowest all things; thou knowest that I am attached to thee. Jesus says to him, Feed my sheep. Jn. 21:17
Peter, turning round, sees the disciple whom Jesus loved following, who also leaned at supper on his breast, and said, Lord, who is it that delivers thee up? Jn. 21:20
This word therefore went out among the brethren, That disciple does not die. And Jesus did not say to him, He does not die; but, If I will that he abide until I come, what is that to thee? Jn. 21:23
This is the disciple who bears witness concerning these things, and who has written these things; and we know that his witness is true. Jn. 21:24
And there are also many other things which Jesus did, the which if they were written one by one, I suppose that not even the world itself would contain the books written. Jn. 21:25
I composed the first discourse, O Theophilus, concerning all things which Jesus began both to do and to teach, Acts 1:1
until that day in which, having by the Holy Spirit charged the apostles whom he had chosen, he was taken up; Acts 1:2
to whom also he presented himself living, after he had suffered, with many proofs; being seen by them during forty days, and speaking of the things which concern the kingdom of God; Acts 1:3
and, being assembled with them, commanded them not to depart from Jerusalem, but to await the promise of the Father, which said he ye have heard of me. Acts 1:4
For John indeed baptised with water, but *ye* shall be baptised with the Holy Spirit after now not many days. Acts 1:5
They therefore, being come together, asked him saying, Lord, is it at this time that thou restorest the kingdom to Israel? Acts 1:6
And he said to them, It is not yours to know times or seasons, which the Father has placed in his own authority; Acts 1:7
but ye will receive power, the Holy Spirit having come upon you, and ye shall be my witnesses both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth. Acts 1:8
who also said, Men of Galilee, why do ye stand looking into heaven? This Jesus who has been taken up from you into heaven, shall thus come in the manner in which ye have beheld him going into heaven. Acts 1:11
Then they returned to Jerusalem from the mount called the mount of Olives, which is near Jerusalem, a sabbath-day's journey off. Acts 1:12
And when they were come into the city, they went up to the upper chamber, where were staying both Peter, and John, and James, and Andrew, Philip and Thomas, Bartholomew and Matthew, James son of Alphaeus, and Simon the zealot, and Jude the brother of James. Acts 1:13
These gave themselves all with one accord to continual prayer, with several women, and Mary the mother of Jesus, and with his brethren. Acts 1:14
And in those days Peter, standing up in the midst of the brethren, said, (the crowd of names who were together was about a hundred and twenty,) Acts 1:15
Brethren, it was necessary that the scripture should have been fulfilled, which the Holy Spirit spoke before, by the mouth of David, concerning Judas, who became guide to those who took Jesus; Acts 1:16
(This man then indeed got a field with the reward of iniquity, and, having fallen down headlong, burst in the midst, and all his bowels gushed out. Acts 1:18
And it was known to all the inhabitants of Jerusalem, so that that field was called in their own dialect Aceldama; that is, field of blood.) Acts 1:19
For it is written in the book of Psalms, Let his homestead become desolate, and let there be no dweller in it; and, Let another take his overseership. Acts 1:20
It is necessary therefore, that of the men who have assembled with us all the time in which the Lord Jesus came in and went out among us, Acts 1:21
beginning from the baptism of John until the day in which he was taken up from us, one of these should be a witness with us of his resurrection. Acts 1:22
And they prayed, and said, Thou Lord, knower of the hearts of all, shew which one of these two thou hast chosen, Acts 1:24
to receive the lot of this service and apostleship, from which Judas transgressing fell to go to his own place. Acts 1:25
And they gave lots on them, and the lot fell on Matthias, and he was numbered with the eleven apostles. Acts 1:26
And when the day of Pentecost was now accomplishing, they were all together in one place. Acts 2:1
And there came suddenly a sound out of heaven as of a violent impetuous blowing, and filled all the house where they were sitting. Acts 2:2
And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit, and began to speak with other tongues as the Spirit gave to them to speak forth. Acts 2:4
But the rumour of this having spread, the multitude came together and were confounded, because each one heard them speaking in his own dialect. Acts 2:6
both Phrygia and Pamphylia, Egypt, and the parts of Libya which adjoin Cyrene, and the Romans sojourning here, both Jews and proselytes, Acts 2:10
Cretans and Arabians, we hear them speaking in our own tongues the great things of God? Acts 2:11
But Peter, standing up with the eleven, lifted up his voice and spoke forth to them, Men of Judaea, and all ye inhabitants of Jerusalem, let this be known to you, and give heed to my words: Acts 2:14
for these are not full of wine, as *ye* suppose, for it is the third hour of the day; Acts 2:15
but this is that which was spoken through the prophet Joel, Acts 2:16
And it shall be in the last days, saith God, that I will pour out of my Spirit upon all flesh; and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your elders shall dream with dreams; Acts 2:17
And I will give wonders in the heaven above and signs on the earth below, blood, and fire, and vapour of smoke: Acts 2:19
the sun shall be changed to darkness and the moon to blood, before the great and gloriously appearing day of the Lord come. Acts 2:20
And it shall be that whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. Acts 2:21
Men of Israel, hear these words: Jesus the Nazaraean, a man borne witness to by God to you by works of power and wonders and signs, which God wrought by him in your midst, as yourselves know Acts 2:22
-- him, given up by the determinate counsel and foreknowledge of God, ye, by the hand of lawless men, have crucified and slain. Acts 2:23
Whom God has raised up, having loosed the pains of death, inasmuch as it was not possible that he should be held by its power; Acts 2:24
for David says as to him, I foresaw the Lord continually before me, because he is at my right hand that I may not be moved. Acts 2:25
Thou hast made known to me the paths of life, thou wilt fill me with joy with thy countenance. Acts 2:28
Brethren, let it be allowed to speak with freedom to you concerning the patriarch David, that he has both died and been buried, and his monument is amongst us unto this day. Acts 2:29
Being therefore a prophet, and knowing that God had sworn to him with an oath, of the fruit of his loins to set upon his throne; Acts 2:30
he, seeing it before, spoke concerning the resurrection of the Christ, that neither has he been left in hades nor his flesh seen corruption. Acts 2:31
Having therefore been exalted by the right hand of God, and having received of the Father the promise of the Holy Spirit, he has poured out this which *ye* behold and hear. Acts 2:33
For David has not ascended into the heavens, but he says himself, The Lord said unto my Lord, Sit at my right hand Acts 2:34
until I have put thine enemies to be the footstool of thy feet. Acts 2:35
Let the whole house of Israel therefore know assuredly that God has made him, this Jesus whom *ye* have crucified, both Lord and Christ. Acts 2:36
And having heard it they were pricked in heart, and said to Peter and the other apostles, What shall we do, brethren? Acts 2:37
And Peter said to them, Repent, and be baptised, each one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ, for remission of sins, and ye will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. Acts 2:38
For to you is the promise and to your children, and to all who are afar off, as many as the Lord our God may call. Acts 2:39
And they persevered in the teaching and fellowship of the apostles, in breaking of bread and prayers. Acts 2:42
And fear was upon every soul, and many wonders and signs took place through the apostles' means. Acts 2:43
And every day, being constantly in the temple with one accord, and breaking bread in the house, they received their food with gladness and simplicity of heart, Acts 2:46
praising God, and having favour with all the people; and the Lord added to the assembly daily those that were to be saved. Acts 2:47
And Peter and John went up together into the temple at the hour of prayer, which is the ninth hour; Acts 3:1
and a certain man who was lame from his mother's womb was being carried, whom they placed every day at the gate of the temple called Beautiful, to ask alms of those who were going into the temple; Acts 3:2
who, seeing Peter and John about to enter into the temple, asked to receive alms. Acts 3:3
But Peter said, Silver and gold I have not; but what I have, this give I to thee: In the name of Jesus Christ the Nazaraean rise up and walk. Acts 3:6
And having taken hold of him by the right hand he raised him up, and immediately his feet and ankle bones were made strong. Acts 3:7
And leaping up he stood and walked, and entered with them into the temple, walking, and leaping, and praising God. Acts 3:8
And all the people saw him walking and praising God; Acts 3:9
and they recognised him, that it was *he* who sat for alms at the Beautiful gate of the temple; and they were filled with wonder and amazement at what had happened to him. Acts 3:10
And as he held Peter and John, all the people ran together to them in the portico which is called Solomon's, greatly wondering. Acts 3:11
And Peter, seeing it, answered the people, Men of Israel, why are ye astonished at this? or why do ye gaze on us as if we had by our own power or piety made him to walk? Acts 3:12
The God of Abraham and Isaac and Jacob, the God of our fathers, has glorified his servant Jesus, whom *ye* delivered up, and denied him in the presence of Pilate, when *he* had judged that he should be let go. Acts 3:13
But *ye* denied the holy and righteous one, and asked that a man that was a murderer should be granted to you; Acts 3:14
but the originator of life ye slew, whom God raised from among the dead, whereof *we* are witnesses. Acts 3:15
And, by faith in his name, his name has made this man strong whom ye behold and know; and the faith which is by him has given him this complete soundness in the presence of you all. Acts 3:16
but God has thus fulfilled what he had announced beforehand by the mouth of all the prophets, that his Christ should suffer. Acts 3:18
Repent therefore and be converted, for the blotting out of your sins, so that times of refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord, Acts 3:19
whom heaven indeed must receive till the times of the restoring of all things, of which God has spoken by the mouth of his holy prophets since time began. Acts 3:21
Moses indeed said, A prophet shall the Lord your God raise up to you out of your brethren like me: him shall ye hear in everything whatsoever he shall say to you. Acts 3:22
And it shall be that whatsoever soul shall not hear that prophet shall be destroyed from among the people. Acts 3:23
And indeed all the prophets from Samuel and those in succession after him, as many as have spoken, have announced also these days. Acts 3:24
*Ye* are the sons of the prophets and of the covenant which God appointed to our fathers, saying to Abraham, And in thy seed shall all the families of the earth be blessed. Acts 3:25
And as they were speaking to the people, the priests and captain of the temple and the Sadducees came upon them, Acts 4:1
being distressed on account of their teaching the people and preaching by Jesus the resurrection from among the dead; Acts 4:2
and they laid hands on them, and put them in ward till the morrow; for it was already evening. Acts 4:3
But many of those who had heard the word believed; and the number of the men had become about five thousand. Acts 4:4
And it came to pass on the morrow that their rulers and elders and scribes were gathered together at Jerusalem, Acts 4:5
and Annas the high priest, and Caiaphas, and John, and Alexander, and as many as were of the high priestly family; Acts 4:6
and having placed them in the midst they inquired, In what power or in what name have *ye* done this? Acts 4:7
Then Peter, filled with the Holy Spirit, said to them, Rulers of the people and elders of Israel, Acts 4:8
if *we* this day are called upon to answer as to the good deed done to the infirm man, how *he* has been healed, Acts 4:9
be it known to you all, and to all the people of Israel, that in the name of Jesus Christ the Nazaraean, whom *ye* have crucified, whom God has raised from among the dead, by *him* this man stands here before you sound in body. Acts 4:10
*He* is the stone which has been set at nought by you the builders, which is become the corner stone. Acts 4:11
But seeing the boldness of Peter and John, and perceiving that they were unlettered and uninstructed men, they wondered; and they recognised them that they were with Jesus. Acts 4:13
And beholding the man who had been healed standing with them, they had nothing to reply; Acts 4:14
but having commanded them to go out of the council they conferred with one another, Acts 4:15
But that it be not further spread among the people, let us threaten them severely no longer to speak to any man in this name. Acts 4:17
And having called them, they charged them not to speak at all nor teach in the name of Jesus. Acts 4:18
for as for us *we* cannot refrain from speaking of the things which we have seen and heard. Acts 4:20
But they, having further threatened them, let them go, finding no way how they might punish them, on account of the people, because all glorified God for what had taken place; Acts 4:21
for the man on whom this sign of healing had taken place was above forty years old. Acts 4:22
And having been let go, they came to their own company, and reported all that the chief priests and elders had said to them. Acts 4:23
And they, having heard it, lifted up their voice with one accord to God, and said, Lord, *thou* art the God who made the heaven and the earth and the sea, and all that is in them; Acts 4:24
who hast said by the mouth of thy servant David, Why have the nations raged haughtily and the peoples meditated vain things? Acts 4:25
The kings of the earth were there, and the rulers were gathered together against the Lord and against his Christ. Acts 4:26
For in truth against thy holy servant Jesus, whom thou hadst anointed, both Herod and Pontius Pilate, with the nations, and peoples of Israel, have been gathered together in this city Acts 4:27
in that thou stretchest out thy hand to heal, and that signs and wonders take place through the name of thy holy servant Jesus. Acts 4:30
And when they had prayed, the place in which they were assembled shook, and they were all filled with the Holy Spirit, and spoke the word of God with boldness. Acts 4:31
And the heart and soul of the multitude of those that had believed were one, and not one said that anything of what he possessed was his own, but all things were common to them; Acts 4:32
and with great power did the apostles give witness of the resurrection of the Lord Jesus, and great grace was upon them all. Acts 4:33
For neither was there any one in want among them; for as many as were owners of lands or houses, selling them, brought the price of what was sold Acts 4:34
and laid it at the feet of the apostles; and distribution was made to each according as any one might have need. Acts 4:35
And Joseph, who had been surnamed Barnabas by the apostles (which is, being interpreted, Son of consolation), a Levite, Cyprian by birth, Acts 4:36
being possessed of land, having sold it, brought the money and laid it at the feet of the apostles. Acts 4:37
and put aside for himself part of the price, his wife also being privy to it; and having brought a certain part, laid it at the feet of the apostles. Acts 5:2
But Peter said, Ananias, why has Satan filled thy heart that thou shouldest lie to the Holy Spirit, and put aside for thyself a part of the price of the estate? Acts 5:3
And the young men, rising up, swathed him up for burial, and having carried him out, buried him. Acts 5:6
And Peter answered her, Tell me if ye gave the estate for so much? And she said, Yes, for so much. Acts 5:8
And Peter said to her, Why is it that ye have agreed together to tempt the Spirit of the Lord? Lo, the feet of those that have buried thy husband are at the door, and they shall carry thee out. Acts 5:9
And she fell down immediately at his feet and expired. And when the young men came in they found her dead; and, having carried her out, they buried her by her husband. Acts 5:10
And great fear came upon all the assembly, and upon all who heard these things. Acts 5:11
And by the hands of the apostles were many signs and wonders done among the people; (and they were all with one accord in Solomon's porch, Acts 5:12
but of the rest durst no man join them, but the people magnified them; Acts 5:13
and believers were more than ever added to the Lord, multitudes both of men and women;) Acts 5:14
so that they brought out the sick into the streets and put them on beds and couches, that at least the shadow of Peter, when he came, might overshadow some one of them. Acts 5:15
And the multitude also of the cities round about came together to Jerusalem, bringing sick persons and persons beset by unclean spirits, who were all healed. Acts 5:16
And the high priest rising up, and all they that were with him, which is the sect of the Sadducees, were filled with wrath, Acts 5:17
and laid hands on the apostles and put them in the public prison. Acts 5:18
But an angel of the Lord during the night opened the doors of the prison, and leading them out, said, Acts 5:19
Go ye and stand and speak in the temple to the people all the words of this life. Acts 5:20
And when they heard it, they entered very early into the temple and taught. And when the high priest was come, and they that were with him, they called together the council and all the elderhood of the sons of Israel, and sent to the prison to have them brought. Acts 5:21
And when the officers were come, they did not find them in the prison; and returned and reported Acts 5:22
saying, We found the prison shut with all security, and the keepers standing at the doors; but when we had opened them, within we found no one. Acts 5:23
And when they heard these words, both the priest and the captain of the temple and the chief priests were in perplexity as to them, what this would come to. Acts 5:24
And some one coming reported to them, Lo, the men whom ye put in the prison are in the temple, standing and teaching the people. Acts 5:25
Then the captain, having gone with the officers, brought them, not with violence, for they feared the people, lest they should be stoned. Acts 5:26
And they bring them and set them in the council. And the high priest asked them, Acts 5:27
saying, We strictly enjoined you not to teach in this name: and lo, ye have filled Jerusalem with your doctrine, and purpose to bring upon us the blood of this man. Acts 5:28
But Peter answering, and the apostles, said, God must be obeyed rather than men. Acts 5:29
The God of our fathers has raised up Jesus, whom *ye* have slain, having hanged on a cross. Acts 5:30
And *we* are his witnesses of these things, and the Holy Spirit also, which God has given to those that obey him. Acts 5:32
But they, when they heard these things, were cut to the heart, and took counsel to kill them. Acts 5:33
But a certain man, a Pharisee, named Gamaliel, a teacher of the law, held in honour of all the people, rose up in the council, and commanded to put the men out for a short while, Acts 5:34
After him rose Judas the Galilean in the days of the census, and drew away a number of people after him; and *he* perished, and all, as many as obeyed him, were scattered abroad. Acts 5:37
And they listened to his advice; and having called the apostles, they beat them, and enjoined them not to speak in the name of Jesus, and dismissed them. Acts 5:40
They therefore went their way from the presence of the council, rejoicing that they were counted worthy to be dishonoured for the name. Acts 5:41
And every day, in the temple and in the houses, they ceased not teaching and announcing the glad tidings that Jesus was the Christ. Acts 5:42
But in those days, the disciples multiplying in number, there arose a murmuring of the Hellenists against the Hebrews because their widows were overlooked in the daily ministration. Acts 6:1
And the twelve, having called the multitude of the disciples to them, said, It is not right that we, leaving the word of God, should serve tables. Acts 6:2
Look out therefore, brethren, from among yourselves seven men, well reported of, full of the Holy Spirit and wisdom, whom we will establish over this business: Acts 6:3
but *we* will give ourselves up to prayer and the ministry of the word. Acts 6:4
And the saying pleased the whole multitude: and they chose Stephen, a man full of faith and the Holy Spirit, and Philip, and Prochorus, and Nicanor, and Timon, and Parmenas, and Nicolas, a proselyte of Antioch, Acts 6:5
whom they set before the apostles; and, having prayed, they laid their hands on them. Acts 6:6
And the word of God increased; and the number of the disciples in Jerusalem was very greatly multiplied, and a great crowd of the priests obeyed the faith. Acts 6:7
And Stephen, full of grace and power, wrought wonders and great signs among the people. Acts 6:8
And there arose up certain of those of the synagogue called of freedmen, and of Cyrenians, and of Alexandrians, and of those of Cilicia and Asia, disputing with Stephen. Acts 6:9
And they were not able to resist the wisdom and the Spirit with which he spoke. Acts 6:10
And they roused the people, and the elders, and the scribes. And coming upon him they seized him and brought him to the council. Acts 6:12
And they set false witnesses, saying, This man does not cease speaking words against the holy place and the law; Acts 6:13
for we have heard him saying, This Jesus the Nazaraean shall destroy this place, and change the customs which Moses taught us. Acts 6:14
And all who sat in the council, looking fixedly on him, saw his face as the face of an angel. Acts 6:15
And the high priest said, Are these things then so? Acts 7:1
And he said, Brethren and fathers, hearken. The God of glory appeared to our father Abraham when he was in Mesopotamia, before he dwelt in Charran, Acts 7:2
and said to him, Go out of thy land and out of thy kindred, and come into the land which I will shew thee. Acts 7:3
Then going out of the land of the Chaldeans he dwelt in Charran, and thence, after his father died, he removed him into this land in which *ye* now dwell. Acts 7:4
and the nation to which they shall be in bondage will *I* judge, said God; and after these things they shall come forth and serve me in this place. Acts 7:7
And he gave to him the covenant of circumcision; and thus he begat Isaac and circumcised him the eighth day; and Isaac Jacob, and Jacob the twelve patriarchs. Acts 7:8
And the patriarchs, envying Joseph, sold him away into Egypt. And God was with him, Acts 7:9
and delivered him out of all his tribulations, and gave him favour and wisdom in the sight of Pharaoh king of Egypt, and he appointed him chief over Egypt and all his house. Acts 7:10
But a famine came upon all the land of Egypt and Canaan, and great distress, and our fathers found no food. Acts 7:11
and the second time Joseph was made known to his brethren, and the family of Joseph became known to Pharaoh. Acts 7:13
and were carried over to Sychem and placed in the sepulchre which Abraham bought for a sum of money of the sons of Emmor the father of Sychem. Acts 7:16
But as the time of promise drew near which God had promised to Abraham, the people increased and multiplied in Egypt, Acts 7:17
*He* dealt subtilly with our race, and evil entreated the fathers, casting out their infants that they might not live. Acts 7:19
In which time Moses was born, and was exceedingly lovely, who was nourished three months in the house of his father. Acts 7:20
And when he was cast out, the daughter of Pharaoh took him up, and brought him up for herself to be for a son. Acts 7:21
And Moses was instructed in all the wisdom of the Egyptians, and he was mighty in his words and deeds. Acts 7:22
And when a period of forty years was fulfilled to him, it came into his heart to look upon his brethren, the sons of Israel; Acts 7:23
and seeing a certain one wronged, he defended him, and avenged him that was being oppressed, smiting the Egyptian. Acts 7:24
And on the morrow he shewed himself to them as they were contending, and compelled them to peace, saying, *Ye* are brethren, why do ye wrong one another? Acts 7:26
Dost *thou* wish to kill me as thou killedst the Egyptian yesterday? Acts 7:28
And Moses fled at this saying, and became a sojourner in the land of Madiam, where he begat two sons. Acts 7:29
And when forty years were fulfilled, an angel appeared to him in the wilderness of mount Sinai, in a flame of fire of a bush. Acts 7:30
And Moses seeing it wondered at the vision; and as he went up to consider it, there was a voice of the Lord, Acts 7:31
*I* am the God of thy fathers, the God of Abraham, and of Isaac, and of Jacob. And Moses trembled, and durst not consider it. Acts 7:32
And the Lord said to him, Loose the sandal of thy feet, for the place on which thou standest is holy ground. Acts 7:33
I have surely seen the ill treatment of my people which is in Egypt, and I have heard their groan, and have come down to take them out of it; and now, come, I will send thee to Egypt. Acts 7:34
This Moses, whom they refused, saying, Who made thee ruler and judge? him did God send to be a ruler and deliverer with the hand of the angel who appeared to him in the bush. Acts 7:35
*He* led them out, having wrought wonders and signs in the land of Egypt, and in the Red sea, and in the wilderness forty years. Acts 7:36
This is the Moses who said to the sons of Israel, A prophet shall God raise up to you out of your brethren like me him shall ye hear. Acts 7:37
This is he who was in the assembly in the wilderness, with the angel who spoke to him in the mount Sinai, and with our fathers; who received living oracles to give to us; Acts 7:38
saying to Aaron, Make us gods who shall go before us; for this Moses, who brought us out of the land of Egypt, we know not what has happened to him. Acts 7:40
And they made a calf in those days, and offered sacrifice to the idol, and rejoiced in the works of their own hands. Acts 7:41
But God turned and delivered them up to serve the host of heaven; as it is written in the book of the prophets, Have ye offered me victims and sacrifices forty years in the wilderness, O house of Israel? Acts 7:42
Yea, ye took up the tent of Moloch, and the star of your god Remphan, the forms which ye made to do homage to them; and I will transport you beyond Babylon. Acts 7:43
Our fathers had the tent of the testimony in the wilderness, as he that spoke to Moses commanded to make it according to the model which he had seen; Acts 7:44
which also our fathers, receiving from their predecessors, brought in with Joshua when they entered into possession of the lands of the nations, whom God drove out from the face of our fathers, until the days of David; Acts 7:45
who found favour before God, and asked to find a tabernacle for the God of Jacob; Acts 7:46
But the Most High dwells not in places made with hands; as says the prophet, Acts 7:48
The heaven is my throne and the earth the footstool of my feet: what house will ye build me? saith the Lord, or where is the place of my rest? Acts 7:49
O stiffnecked and uncircumcised in heart and ears, *ye* do always resist the Holy Spirit; as your fathers, *ye* also. Acts 7:51
Which of the prophets have not your fathers persecuted? and they have slain those who announced beforehand concerning the coming of the Just One, of whom *ye* have now become deliverers up and murderers! Acts 7:52
who have received the law as ordained by the ministry of angels, and have not kept it. Acts 7:53
And hearing these things they were cut to the heart, and gnashed their teeth against him. Acts 7:54
But being full of the Holy Spirit, having fixed his eyes on heaven, he saw the glory of God, and Jesus standing at the right hand of God, Acts 7:55
and said, Lo, I behold the heavens opened, and the Son of man standing at the right hand of God. Acts 7:56
and having cast him out of the city, they stoned him. And the witnesses laid aside their clothes at the feet of a young man called Saul. Acts 7:58
And Saul was consenting to his being killed. And on that day there arose a great persecution against the assembly which was in Jerusalem, and all were scattered into the countries of Judaea and Samaria except the apostles. Acts 8:1
But Saul ravaged the assembly, entering into the houses one after another, and dragging off both men and women delivered them up to prison. Acts 8:3
Those then that had been scattered went through the countries announcing the glad tidings of the word. Acts 8:4
And Philip, going down to a city of Samaria, preached the Christ to them; Acts 8:5
and the crowds with one accord gave heed to the things spoken by Philip, when they heard him and saw the signs which he wrought. Acts 8:6
But a certain man, by name Simon, had been before in the city, using magic arts, and astonishing the nation of Samaria, saying that himself was some great one. Acts 8:9
To whom they had all given heed, from small to great, saying, This is the power of God which is called great. Acts 8:10
But when they believed Philip announcing the glad tidings concerning the kingdom of God and the name of Jesus Christ, they were baptised, both men and women. Acts 8:12
And Simon also himself believed; and, having been baptised, continued constantly with Philip; and, beholding the signs and great works of power which took place, was astonished. Acts 8:13
And the apostles who were in Jerusalem, having heard that Samaria had received the word of God, sent to them Peter and John; Acts 8:14
who, having come down, prayed for them that they might receive the Holy Spirit; Acts 8:15
for he was not yet fallen upon any of them, only they were baptised to the name of the Lord Jesus. Acts 8:16
Then they laid their hands upon them, and they received the Holy Spirit. Acts 8:17
But Simon, having seen that by the laying on of the hands of the apostles the Holy Spirit was given, offered them money, Acts 8:18
saying, Give to me also this power, in order that on whomsoever I may lay hands he may receive the Holy Spirit. Acts 8:19
And Peter said to him, Thy money go with thee to destruction, because thou hast thought that the gift of God can be obtained by money. Acts 8:20
Repent therefore of this thy wickedness, and supplicate the Lord, if indeed the thought of thy heart may be forgiven thee; Acts 8:22
for I see thee to be in the gall of bitterness, and bond of unrighteousness. Acts 8:23
And Simon answering said, Supplicate *ye* for me to the Lord, so that nothing may come upon me of the things of which ye have spoken. Acts 8:24
They therefore, having testified and spoken the word of the Lord, returned to Jerusalem, and announced the glad tidings to many villages of the Samaritans. Acts 8:25
But the angel of the Lord spoke to Philip, saying, Rise up and go southward on the way which goes down from Jerusalem to Gaza: the same is desert. Acts 8:26
And he rose up and went. And lo, an Ethiopian, a eunuch, a man in power under Candace queen of the Ethiopians, who was over all her treasure, who had come to worship at Jerusalem, Acts 8:27
was returning and sitting in his chariot: and he was reading the prophet Esaias. Acts 8:28
And the Spirit said to Philip, Approach and join this chariot. Acts 8:29
And Philip, running up, heard him reading the prophet Esaias, and said, Dost thou then know what thou art reading of? Acts 8:30
And the passage of the scripture which he read was this: He was led as a sheep to slaughter, and as a lamb is dumb in presence of him that shears him, thus he opens not his mouth. Acts 8:32
In his humiliation his judgment has been taken away, and who shall declare his generation? for his life is taken from the earth. Acts 8:33
And the eunuch answering Philip said, I pray thee, concerning whom does the prophet say this? of himself or of some other? Acts 8:34
And Philip, opening his mouth and beginning from that scripture, announced the glad tidings of Jesus to him. Acts 8:35
And as they went along the way, they came upon a certain water, and the eunuch says, Behold water; what hinders my being baptised? Acts 8:36
And he commanded the chariot to stop. And they went down both to the water, both Philip and the eunuch, and he baptised him. Acts 8:38
But when they came up out of the water the Spirit of the Lord caught away Philip, and the eunuch saw him no longer, for he went on his way rejoicing. Acts 8:39
And Philip was found at Azotus, and passing through he announced the glad tidings to all the cities till he came to Caesarea. Acts 8:40
But Saul, still breathing out threatenings and slaughter against the disciples of the Lord, came to the high priest Acts 9:1
and asked of him letters to Damascus, to the synagogues, so that if he found any who were of the way, both men and women, he might bring them bound to Jerusalem. Acts 9:2
and falling on the earth he heard a voice saying to him, Saul, Saul, why dost thou persecute me? Acts 9:4
But rise up and enter into the city, and it shall be told thee what thou must do. Acts 9:6
But the men who were travelling with him stood speechless, hearing the voice but beholding no one. Acts 9:7
And Saul rose up from the earth, and his eyes being opened he saw no one. But leading him by the hand they brought him into Damascus. Acts 9:8
And there was a certain disciple in Damascus by name Ananias. And the Lord said to him in a vision, Ananias. And he said, Behold, here am I, Lord. Acts 9:10
And the Lord said to him, Rise up and go into the street which is called Straight, and seek in the house of Judas one by name Saul, he is of Tarsus: for, behold, he is praying, Acts 9:11
and here he has authority from the chief priests to bind all who call upon thy name. Acts 9:14
And the Lord said to him, Go, for this man is an elect vessel to me, to bear my name before both nations and kings and the sons of Israel: Acts 9:15
And Ananias went and entered into the house; and laying his hands upon him he said, Saul, brother, the Lord has sent me, Jesus that appeared to thee in the way in which thou camest, that thou mightest see, and be filled with the Holy Spirit. Acts 9:17
and, having received food, got strength. And he was with the disciples who were in Damascus certain days. Acts 9:19
And straightway in the synagogues he preached Jesus that *he* is the Son of God. Acts 9:20
And all who heard were astonished and said, Is not this *he* who destroyed in Jerusalem those who called on this name, and here was come for this purpose, that he might bring them bound to the chief priests? Acts 9:21
But Saul increased the more in power, and confounded the Jews who dwelt in Damascus, proving that this is the Christ. Acts 9:22
Now when many days were fulfilled, the Jews consulted together to kill him. Acts 9:23
But their plot became known to Saul. And they watched also the gates both day and night, that they might kill him; Acts 9:24
but the disciples took him by night and let him down through the wall, lowering him in a basket. Acts 9:25
And having arrived at Jerusalem he essayed to join himself to the disciples, and all were afraid of him, not believing that he was a disciple. Acts 9:26
But Barnabas took him and brought him to the apostles, and related to them how he had seen the Lord in the way, and that he had spoken to him, and how in Damascus he had spoken boldly in the name of Jesus. Acts 9:27
and speaking boldly in the name of the Lord. And he spoke and discussed with the Hellenists; but they sought to kill him. Acts 9:29
And the brethren knowing it, brought him down to Caesarea and sent him away to Tarsus. Acts 9:30
The assemblies then throughout the whole of Judaea and Galilee and Samaria had peace, being edified and walking in the fear of the Lord, and were increased through the comfort of the Holy Spirit. Acts 9:31
Now it came to pass that Peter, passing through all quarters, descended also to the saints who inhabited Lydda. Acts 9:32
And Peter said to him, Aeneas, Jesus, the Christ, heals thee: rise up, and make thy couch for thyself. And straightway he rose up. Acts 9:34
And all who inhabited Lydda and the Saron saw him, who turned to the Lord. Acts 9:35
And it came to pass in those days that she grew sick and died; and, having washed her, they put her in the upper room. Acts 9:37
But Lydda being near to Joppa, the disciples having heard that Peter was there, sent two men to him, beseeching him, Thou must not delay coming to us. Acts 9:38
And Peter rising up went with them, whom, when arrived, they brought up into the upper chamber; and all the widows stood by him weeping and shewing him the body-coats and garments which Dorcas had made while she was with them. Acts 9:39
But Peter, putting them all out, and kneeling down, prayed. And, turning to the body, he said, Tabitha, arise. And she opened her eyes, and, seeing Peter, sat up. Acts 9:40
And having given her his hand, he raised her up, and having called the saints and the widows, presented her living. Acts 9:41
And it became known throughout the whole of Joppa, and many believed on the Lord. Acts 9:42
But a certain man in Caesarea, -- by name Cornelius, a centurion of the band called Italic, Acts 10:1
pious, and fearing God with all his house, both giving much alms to the people, and supplicating God continually, Acts 10:2
-- saw plainly in a vision, about the ninth hour of the day, an angel of God coming unto him, and saying to him, Cornelius. Acts 10:3
He lodges with a certain Simon, a tanner, whose house is by the sea. Acts 10:6
And when the angel who was speaking to him had departed, having called two of his household and a pious soldier of those who were constantly with him, Acts 10:7
And on the morrow, as these were journeying and drawing near to the city, Peter went up on the house to pray, about the sixth hour. Acts 10:9
and he beholds the heaven opened, and a certain vessel descending, as a great sheet, bound by the four corners and let down to the earth; Acts 10:11
in which were all the quadrupeds and creeping things of the earth, and the fowls of the heaven. Acts 10:12
And there was a voice again the second time to him, What God has cleansed, do not *thou* make common. Acts 10:15
And this took place thrice, and the vessel was straightway taken up into heaven. Acts 10:16
And as Peter doubted in himself what the vision which he had seen might mean, behold also the men who were sent by Cornelius, having sought out the house of Simon, stood at the gate, Acts 10:17
But as Peter continued pondering over the vision, the Spirit said to him, Behold, three men seek thee; Acts 10:19
And Peter going down to the men said, Behold, *I* am he whom ye seek: what is the cause for which ye come? Acts 10:21
And they said, Cornelius, a centurion, a righteous man, and fearing God, and borne witness to by the whole nation of the Jews, has been divinely instructed by a holy angel to send for thee to his house, and hear words from thee. Acts 10:22
Having therefore invited them in, he lodged them. And on the morrow, rising up he went away with them, and certain of the brethren from Joppa went with him. Acts 10:23
And on the morrow they came to Caesarea. But Cornelius was looking for them, having called together his kinsmen and his intimate friends. Acts 10:24
And Cornelius said, Four days ago I had been fasting unto this hour, and the ninth I was praying in my house, and lo, a man stood before me in bright clothing, Acts 10:30
Send therefore to Joppa and fetch Simon, who is surnamed Peter; he lodges in the house of Simon, a tanner, by the sea who when he is come will speak to thee. Acts 10:32
The word which he sent to the sons of Israel, preaching peace by Jesus Christ, (*he* is Lord of all things,) Acts 10:36
*ye* know; the testimony which has spread through the whole of Judaea, beginning from Galilee after the baptism which John preached -- Acts 10:37
Jesus who was of Nazareth: how God anointed him with the Holy Spirit and with power; who went through all quarters doing good, and healing all that were under the power of the devil, because God was with him. Acts 10:38
*We* also are witnesses of all things which he did both in the country of the Jews and in Jerusalem; whom they also slew, having hanged him on a cross. Acts 10:39
This man God raised up the third day and gave him to be openly seen, Acts 10:40
not of all the people, but of witnesses who were chosen before of God, *us* who have eaten and drunk with him after he arose from among the dead. Acts 10:41
And he commanded us to preach to the people, and to testify that *he* it is who was determinately appointed of God to be judge of living and dead. Acts 10:42
To him all the prophets bear witness that every one that believes on him will receive through his name remission of sins. Acts 10:43
While Peter was yet speaking these words the Holy Spirit fell upon all those who were hearing the word. Acts 10:44
And the faithful of the circumcision were astonished, as many as came with Peter, that upon the nations also the gift of the Holy Spirit was poured out: Acts 10:45
Can any one forbid water that these should not be baptised, who have received the Holy Spirit as we also did? Acts 10:47
And he commanded them to be baptised in the name of the Lord. Then they begged him to stay some days. Acts 10:48
And the apostles and the brethren who were in Judaea heard that the nations also had received the word of God; Acts 11:1
and when Peter went up to Jerusalem, they of the circumcision contended with him, Acts 11:2
But Peter began and set forth the matter to them in order, saying, Acts 11:4
I was in the city of Joppa praying, and in an ecstasy I saw a vision, a certain vessel descending like a great sheet, let down by four corners out of heaven, and it came even to me: Acts 11:5
on which having fixed mine eyes, I considered, and saw the quadrupeds of the earth, and the wild beasts, and the creeping things, and the fowls of the heaven. Acts 11:6
And a voice answered the second time out of heaven, What God has cleansed, do not *thou* make common. Acts 11:9
and lo, immediately three men were at the house in which I was, sent to me from Caesarea. Acts 11:11
And the Spirit said to me to go with them, nothing doubting. And there went with me these six brethren also, and we entered into the house of the man, Acts 11:12
and he related to us how he had seen the angel in his house, standing and saying to him, Send men to Joppa and fetch Simon, who is surnamed Peter, Acts 11:13
And as I began to speak, the Holy Spirit fell upon them even as upon us also at the beginning. Acts 11:15
And I remembered the word of the Lord, how he said, John baptised with water, but *ye* shall be baptised with the Holy Spirit. Acts 11:16
If then God has given them the same gift as also to us when we had believed on the Lord Jesus Christ, who indeed was *I* to be able to forbid God? Acts 11:17
And when they heard these things they held their peace, and glorified God, saying, Then indeed God has to the nations also granted repentance to life. Acts 11:18
They then who had been scattered abroad through the tribulation that took place on the occasion of Stephen, passed through the country to Phoenicia and Cyprus and Antioch, speaking the word to no one but to Jews alone. Acts 11:19
But there were certain of them, Cyprians and Cyrenians, who entering into Antioch spoke to the Greeks also, announcing the glad tidings of the Lord Jesus. Acts 11:20
And the Lord's hand was with them, and a great number believed and turned to the Lord. Acts 11:21
And the report concerning them reached the ears of the assembly which was in Jerusalem, and they sent out Barnabas to go through as far as Antioch: Acts 11:22
who, having arrived and seeing the grace of God, rejoiced, and exhorted all with purpose of heart to abide with the Lord; Acts 11:23
for he was a good man and full of the Holy Spirit and of faith; and a large crowd of people were added to the Lord. Acts 11:24
And having found him, he brought him to Antioch. And so it was with them that for a whole year they were gathered together in the assembly and taught a large crowd: and the disciples were first called Christians in Antioch. Acts 11:26
and one from among them, by name Agabus, rose up and signified by the Spirit that there was going to be a great famine over all the inhabited earth, which also came to pass under Claudius. Acts 11:28
And they determined, according as any one of the disciples was well off, each of them to send to the brethren who dwelt in Judaea, to minister to them; Acts 11:29
which also they did, sending it to the elders by the hand of Barnabas and Saul. Acts 11:30
At that time Herod the king laid his hands on some of those of the assembly to do them hurt, Acts 12:1
and slew James, the brother of John, with the sword. Acts 12:2
And seeing that it was pleasing to the Jews, he went on to take Peter also: (and they were the days of unleavened bread:) Acts 12:3
whom having seized he put in prison, having delivered him to four quaternions of soldiers to keep, purposing after the passover to bring him out to the people. Acts 12:4
Peter therefore was kept in the prison; but unceasing prayer was made by the assembly to God concerning him. Acts 12:5
And when Herod was going to bring him forth, that night Peter was sleeping between two soldiers, bound with two chains, and guards before the door kept the prison. Acts 12:6
And lo, an angel of the Lord came there, and a light shone in the prison: and having smitten the side of Peter, he roused him up, saying, Rise up quickly. And his chains fell off his hands. Acts 12:7
And the angel said to him, Gird thyself, and bind on thy sandals. And he did so. And he says to him, Cast thine upper garment about thee and follow me. Acts 12:8
And going forth he followed him and did not know that what was happening by means of the angel was real, but supposed he saw a vision. Acts 12:9
And having passed through a first and second guard, they came to the iron gate which leads into the city, which opened to them of itself; and going forth they went down one street, and immediately the angel left him. Acts 12:10
And Peter, being come to himself, said, Now I know certainly that the Lord has sent forth his angel and has taken me out of the hand of Herod and all the expectation of the people of the Jews. Acts 12:11
And having become clearly conscious in himself, he came to the house of Mary, the mother of John who was surnamed Mark, where were many gathered together and praying. Acts 12:12
And when he had knocked at the door of the entry, a maid came to listen, by name Rhoda; Acts 12:13
and having recognised the voice of Peter, through joy did not open the entry, but running in, reported that Peter was standing before the entry. Acts 12:14
And having made a sign to them with his hand to be silent, he related to them how the Lord had brought him out of prison; and he said, Report these things to James and to the brethren. And he went out and went to another place. Acts 12:17
And when it was day there was no small disturbance among the soldiers, what then was become of Peter. Acts 12:18
And Herod having sought him and not found him, having examined the guards, commanded them to be executed. And he went down from Judaea to Caesarea and stayed there. Acts 12:19
And he was in bitter hostility with the Tyrians and Sidonians; but they came to him with one accord, and, having gained Blastus the king's chamberlain, sought peace, because their country was nourished by the king's. Acts 12:20
And on a set day, clothed in royal apparel and sitting on the elevated seat of honour, Herod made a public oration to them. Acts 12:21
And the people cried out, A god's voice and not a man's. Acts 12:22
And immediately an angel of the Lord smote him, because he did not give the glory to God, and he expired, eaten of worms. Acts 12:23
But the word of God grew and spread itself. Acts 12:24
And Barnabas and Saul returned from Jerusalem, having fulfilled the service entrusted to them, taking also with them John, surnamed Mark. Acts 12:25
Now there were in Antioch, in the assembly which was there, prophets and teachers: Barnabas, and Simeon who was called Niger, and Lucius the Cyrenian, and Manaen, foster-brother of Herod the tetrarch, and Saul. Acts 13:1
And as they were ministering to the Lord and fasting, the Holy Spirit said, Separate me now Barnabas and Saul for the work to which I have called them. Acts 13:2
They therefore, having been sent forth by the Holy Spirit, went down to Seleucia, and thence sailed away to Cyprus. Acts 13:4
And being in Salamis, they announced the word of God in the synagogues of the Jews. And they had John also as their attendant. Acts 13:5
And having passed through the whole island as far as Paphos, they found a certain man a magician, a false prophet, a Jew, whose name was Bar-jesus, Acts 13:6
who was with the proconsul Sergius Paulus, an intelligent man. *He*, having called Barnabas and Saul to him, desired to hear the word of God. Acts 13:7
But Elymas the magician (for so his name is by interpretation) opposed them, seeking to turn away the proconsul from the faith. Acts 13:8
But Saul, who also is Paul, filled with the Holy Spirit, fixing his eyes upon him, Acts 13:9
said, O full of all deceit and all craft: son of the devil, enemy of all righteousness; wilt thou not cease perverting the right paths of the Lord? Acts 13:10
And now behold, the Lord's hand is upon thee, and thou shalt be blind, not seeing the sun for a season. And immediately there fell upon him a mist and darkness; and going about he sought persons who should lead him by the hand. Acts 13:11
Then the proconsul, seeing what had happened, believed, being amazed at the teaching of the Lord. Acts 13:12
But they, passing through from Perga, came to Antioch of Pisidia; and entering into the synagogue on the sabbath day they sat down. Acts 13:14
And after the reading of the law and the prophets, the rulers of the synagogue sent to them, saying, Brethren, if ye have any word of exhortation to the people, speak. Acts 13:15
And Paul, rising up and making a sign with the hand, said, Israelites, and ye that fear God, hearken. Acts 13:16
The God of this people Israel chose our fathers, and exalted the people in their sojourn in the land of Egypt, and with a high arm brought them out of it, Acts 13:17
and for a time of about forty years he nursed them in the desert. Acts 13:18
And having destroyed seven nations in the land of Canaan, he gave them their land as an inheritance. Acts 13:19
And after these things he gave them judges till Samuel the prophet, to the end of about four hundred and fifty years. Acts 13:20
And then they asked for a king, and God gave to them Saul, son of Kis, a man of the tribe of Benjamin, during forty years. Acts 13:21
And having removed him he raised up to them David for king, of whom also bearing witness he said, I have found David, the son of Jesse, a man after my heart, who shall do all my will. Acts 13:22
John having proclaimed before the face of his entry among the people the baptism of repentance to all the people of Israel. Acts 13:24
And as John was fulfilling his course he said, Whom do ye suppose that I am? *I* am not he. But behold, there comes one after me, the sandal of whose feet I am not worthy to loose. Acts 13:25
Brethren, sons of Abraham's race, and those who among you fear God, to you has the word of this salvation been sent: Acts 13:26
for those who dwell in Jerusalem, and their rulers, not having known him, have fulfilled also the voices of the prophets which are read on every sabbath, by judging him. Acts 13:27
And when they had fulfilled all things written concerning him, they took him down from the cross and put him in a sepulchre; Acts 13:29
but God raised him from among the dead, Acts 13:30
who appeared for many days to those who had come up with him from Galilee to Jerusalem, who are now his witnesses to the people. Acts 13:31
And *we* declare unto you the glad tidings of the promise made to the fathers, Acts 13:32
that God has fulfilled this to us their children, having raised up Jesus; as it is also written in the second psalm, *Thou* art my Son: this day have *I* begotten thee. Acts 13:33
But that he raised him from among the dead, no more to return to corruption, he spoke thus: I will give to you the faithful mercies of David. Acts 13:34
For David indeed, having in his own generation ministered to the will of God, fell asleep, and was added to his fathers and saw corruption. Acts 13:36
and from all things from which ye could not be justified in the law of Moses, in him every one that believes is justified. Acts 13:39
See therefore that that which is spoken in the prophets do not come upon you, Acts 13:40
And as they went out they begged that these words might be spoken to them the ensuing sabbath. Acts 13:42
And the congregation of the synagogue having broken up, many of the Jews and of the worshipping proselytes followed Paul and Barnabas, who speaking to them, persuaded them to continue in the grace of God. Acts 13:43
And on the coming sabbath almost all the city was gathered together to hear the word of God. Acts 13:44
But the Jews, seeing the crowds, were filled with envy, and contradicted the things said by Paul, contradicting and speaking injuriously. Acts 13:45
And Paul and Barnabas spoke boldly and said, It was necessary that the word of God should be first spoken to you; but, since ye thrust it from you, and judge yourselves unworthy of eternal life, lo, we turn to the nations; Acts 13:46
for thus has the Lord enjoined us: I have set thee for a light of the nations, that thou shouldest be for salvation to the end of the earth. Acts 13:47
And those of the nations, hearing it, rejoiced, and glorified the word of the Lord, and believed, as many as were ordained to eternal life. Acts 13:48
And the word of the Lord was carried through the whole country. Acts 13:49
But the Jews excited the women of the upper classes who were worshippers, and the first people of the city, and raised a persecution against Paul and Barnabas, and cast them out of their coasts. Acts 13:50
But they, having shaken off the dust of their feet against them, came to Iconium. Acts 13:51
And the disciples were filled with joy and the Holy Spirit. Acts 13:52
And it came to pass in Iconium that they entered together into the synagogue of the Jews, and so spake that a great multitude of both Jews and Greeks believed. Acts 14:1
But the Jews who did not believe stirred up the minds of those of the nations and made them evil-affected against the brethren. Acts 14:2
They stayed therefore a good while, speaking boldly, confiding in the Lord, who gave witness to the word of his grace, giving signs and wonders to be done by their hands. Acts 14:3
And the multitude of the city was divided, and some were with the Jews and some with the apostles. Acts 14:4
And when an assault was making, both of those of the nations and the Jews with their rulers, to use them ill and stone them, Acts 14:5
they, being aware of it, fled to the cities of Lycaonia, Lystra and Derbe, and the surrounding country, Acts 14:6
and there they were announcing the glad tidings. Acts 14:7
But the crowds, who saw what Paul had done, lifted up their voices in Lycaonian, saying, The gods, having made themselves like men, are come down to us. Acts 14:11
And they called Barnabas Jupiter, and Paul Mercury, because he took the lead in speaking. Acts 14:12
And the priest of Jupiter who was before the city, having brought bulls and garlands to the gates, would have done sacrifice along with the crowds. Acts 14:13
But the apostles Barnabas and Paul, having heard it, rent their garments, and rushed out to the crowd, crying Acts 14:14
and saying, Men, why do ye these things? *We* also are men of like passions with you, preaching to you to turn from these vanities to the living God, who made the heaven, and the earth, and the sea, and all things in them; Acts 14:15
who in the past generations suffered all the nations to go in their own ways, Acts 14:16
And saying these things, they with difficulty kept the crowds from sacrificing to them. Acts 14:18
But there came Jews from Antioch and Iconium, and having persuaded the crowds and stoned Paul, drew him out of the city, supposing him to have died. Acts 14:19
But while the disciples encircled him, he rose up and entered into the city. And on the morrow he went away with Barnabas to Derbe. Acts 14:20
And having announced the glad tidings to that city, and having made many disciples, they returned to Lystra, and Iconium, and Antioch, Acts 14:21
establishing the souls of the disciples, exhorting them to abide in the faith, and that through many tribulations we must enter into the kingdom of God. Acts 14:22
And having chosen them elders in each assembly, having prayed with fastings, they committed them to the Lord, on whom they had believed. Acts 14:23
and having spoken the word in Perga, they came down to Attalia; Acts 14:25
and thence they sailed away to Antioch, whence they had been committed to the grace of God for the work which they had fulfilled. Acts 14:26
And having arrived, and having brought together the assembly, they related to them all that God had done with them, and that he had opened a door of faith to the nations. Acts 14:27
And they stayed no little time with the disciples. Acts 14:28
And certain persons, having come down from Judaea, taught the brethren, If ye shall not have been circumcised according to the custom of Moses, ye cannot be saved. Acts 15:1
A commotion therefore having taken place, and no small discussion on the part of Paul and Barnabas against them, they arranged that Paul and Barnabas, and certain others from amongst them, should go up to Jerusalem to the apostles and elders about this question. Acts 15:2
They therefore, having been set on their way by the assembly, passed through Phoenicia and Samaria, relating the conversion of those of the nations. And they caused great joy to all the brethren. Acts 15:3
And being arrived at Jerusalem, they were received by the assembly, and the apostles, and the elders, and related all that God had wrought with them. Acts 15:4
And some of those who were of the sect of the Pharisees, who believed, rose up from among them, saying that they ought to circumcise them and enjoin them to keep the law of Moses. Acts 15:5
And the apostles and the elders were gathered together to see about this matter. Acts 15:6
And much discussion having taken place, Peter, standing up, said to them, Brethren, *ye* know that from the earliest days God amongst you chose that the nations by my mouth should hear the word of the glad tidings and believe. Acts 15:7
And the heart-knowing God bore them witness, giving them the Holy Spirit as to us also, Acts 15:8
Now therefore why tempt ye God, by putting a yoke upon the neck of the disciples, which neither our fathers nor we have been able to bear? Acts 15:10
But we believe that we shall be saved by the grace of the Lord Jesus, in the same manner as they also. Acts 15:11
And all the multitude kept silence and listened to Barnabas and Paul relating all the signs and wonders which God had wrought among the nations by them. Acts 15:12
Simon has related how God first visited to take out of the nations a people for his name. Acts 15:14
And with this agree the words of the prophets; as it is written: Acts 15:15
After these things I will return, and will rebuild the tabernacle of David which is fallen, and will rebuild its ruins, and will set it up, Acts 15:16
so that the residue of men may seek out the Lord, and all the nations on whom my name is invoked, saith the Lord, who does these things Acts 15:17
Wherefore *I* judge, not to trouble those who from the nations turn to God; Acts 15:19
For Moses, from generations of old, has in every city those who preach him, being read in the synagogues every sabbath. Acts 15:21
Then it seemed good to the apostles and to the elders, with the whole assembly, to send chosen men from among them with Paul and Barnabas to Antioch, Judas called Barsabas and Silas, leading men among the brethren, Acts 15:22
having by their hand written thus: The apostles, and the elders, and the brethren, to the brethren who are from among the nations at Antioch, and in Syria and Cilicia, greeting: Acts 15:23
Inasmuch as we have heard that some who went out from amongst us have troubled you by words, upsetting your souls, saying that ye must be circumcised and keep the law; to whom we gave no commandment; Acts 15:24
men who have given up their lives for the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. Acts 15:26
We have therefore sent Judas and Silas, who themselves also will tell you by word of mouth the same things. Acts 15:27
For it has seemed good to the Holy Spirit and to us to lay upon you no greater burden than these necessary things: Acts 15:28
They therefore, being let go, came to Antioch, and having gathered the multitude delivered to them the epistle. Acts 15:30
And having read it, they rejoiced at the consolation. Acts 15:31
And Judas and Silas, being themselves also prophets, exhorted the brethren with much discourse, and strengthened them. Acts 15:32
And having passed some time there, they were let go in peace from the brethren to those who sent them. Acts 15:33
And Paul and Barnabas stayed in Antioch, teaching and announcing the glad tidings, with many others also, of the word of the Lord. Acts 15:35
But after certain days Paul said to Barnabas, Let us return now and visit the brethren in every city where we have announced the word of the Lord, and see how they are getting on. Acts 15:36
but Paul thought it not well to take with them him who had abandoned them, going back from Pamphylia, and had not gone with them to the work. Acts 15:38
but Paul having chosen Silas went forth, committed by the brethren to the grace of God. Acts 15:40
And he passed through Syria and Cilicia, confirming the assemblies. Acts 15:41
And he came to Derbe and Lystra: and behold, a certain disciple was there, by name Timotheus, son of a Jewish believing woman, but the father a Greek, Acts 16:1
who had a good testimony of the brethren in Lystra and Iconium. Acts 16:2
Him would Paul have go forth with him, and took him and circumcised him on account of the Jews who were in those places, for they all knew his father that he was a Greek. Acts 16:3
And as they passed through the cities they instructed them to observe the decrees determined on by the apostles and elders who were in Jerusalem. Acts 16:4
The assemblies therefore were confirmed in the faith, and increased in number every day. Acts 16:5
And having passed through Phrygia and the Galatian country, having been forbidden by the Holy Spirit to speak the word in Asia, Acts 16:6
having come down to Mysia, they attempted to go to Bithynia, and the Spirit of Jesus did not allow them; Acts 16:7
And a vision appeared to Paul in the night: There was a certain Macedonian man, standing and beseeching him, and saying, Pass over into Macedonia and help us. Acts 16:9
And when he had seen the vision, immediately we sought to go forth to Macedonia, concluding that the Lord had called us to announce to them the glad tidings. Acts 16:10
Having sailed therefore away from Troas, we went in a straight course to Samothracia, and on the morrow to Neapolis, Acts 16:11
and thence to Philippi, which is the first city of that part of Macedonia, a colony. And we were staying in that city certain days. Acts 16:12
And on the sabbath day we went outside the gate by the river, where it was the custom for prayer to be, and we sat down and spoke to the women who had assembled. Acts 16:13
And a certain woman, by name Lydia, a seller of purple, of the city of Thyatira, who worshipped God, heard; whose heart the Lord opened to attend to the things spoken by Paul. Acts 16:14
And when she had been baptised and her house, she besought us, saying, If ye have judged me to be faithful to the Lord, come into my house and abide there. And she constrained us. Acts 16:15
She, having followed Paul and us, cried saying, These men are bondmen of the Most High God, who announce to you the way of salvation. Acts 16:17
And this she did many days. And Paul, being distressed, turned, and said to the spirit, I enjoin thee in the name of Jesus Christ to come out of her. And it came out the same hour. Acts 16:18
And her masters, seeing that the hope of their gains was gone, having seized Paul and Silas, dragged them into the market before the magistrates; Acts 16:19
and having brought them up to the praetors, said, These men utterly trouble our city, being Jews, Acts 16:20
And the crowd rose up too against them; and the praetors, having torn off their clothes, commanded to scourge them. Acts 16:22
And having laid many stripes upon them they cast them into prison, charging the jailor to keep them safely; Acts 16:23
who, having received such a charge, cast them into the inner prison, and secured their feet to the stocks. Acts 16:24
And at midnight Paul and Silas, in praying, were praising God with singing, and the prisoners listened to them. Acts 16:25
And suddenly there was a great earthquake, so that the foundations of the prison shook, and all the doors were immediately opened, and the bonds of all loosed. Acts 16:26
And the jailor being awakened out of his sleep, and seeing the doors of the prison opened, having drawn a sword was going to kill himself, thinking the prisoners had fled. Acts 16:27
And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus and thou shalt be saved, thou and thy house. Acts 16:31
And they spoke to him the word of the Lord, with all that were in his house. Acts 16:32
And he took them the same hour of the night and washed them from their stripes; and was baptised, he and all his straightway. Acts 16:33
And having brought them into his house he laid the table for them, and rejoiced with all his house, having believed in God. Acts 16:34
And when it was day, the praetors sent the lictors, saying, Let those men go. Acts 16:35
And the jailor reported these words to Paul: The praetors have sent that ye may be let go. Now therefore go out and depart in peace. Acts 16:36
And the lictors reported these words to the praetors. And they were afraid when they heard they were Romans. Acts 16:38
And they came and besought them, and having brought them out, asked them to go out of the city. Acts 16:39
And having gone out of the prison, they came to Lydia; and having seen the brethren, they exhorted them and went away. Acts 16:40
And having journeyed through Amphipolis and Apollonia, they came to Thessalonica, where was the synagogue of the Jews. Acts 17:1
And according to Paul's custom he went in among them, and on three sabbaths reasoned with them from the scriptures, Acts 17:2
opening and laying down that the Christ must have suffered and risen up from among the dead, and that this is the Christ, Jesus whom *I* announce to you. Acts 17:3
And some of them believed, and joined themselves to Paul and Silas, and of the Greeks who worshipped, a great multitude, and of the chief women not a few. Acts 17:4
But the Jews having been stirred up to jealousy, and taken to themselves certain wicked men of the lowest rabble, and having got a crowd together, set the city in confusion; and having beset the house of Jason sought to bring them out to the people; Acts 17:5
and not having found them, dragged Jason and certain brethren before the politarchs, crying out, These men that have set the world in tumult, are come here also, Acts 17:6
whom Jason has received; and these all do contrary to the decrees of Caesar, saying, that there is another king, Jesus. Acts 17:7
And they troubled the crowd and the politarchs when they heard these things. Acts 17:8
And having taken security of Jason and the rest, they let them go. Acts 17:9
But the brethren immediately sent away, in the night, Paul and Silas to Berea; who, being arrived, went away into the synagogue of the Jews. Acts 17:10
And these were more noble than those in Thessalonica, receiving the word with all readiness of mind, daily searching the scriptures if these things were so. Acts 17:11
Therefore many from among them believed, and of Grecian women of the upper classes and men not a few. Acts 17:12
But when the Jews from Thessalonica knew that the word of God was announced in Berea also by Paul, they came there also, stirring up the crowds. Acts 17:13
And then immediately the brethren sent away Paul to go as to the sea; but Silas and Timotheus abode there. Acts 17:14
But in Athens, while Paul was waiting for them, his spirit was painfully excited in him seeing the city given up to idolatry. Acts 17:16
He reasoned therefore in the synagogue with the Jews, and those who worshipped, and in the market-place every day with those he met with. Acts 17:17
But some also of the Epicurean and Stoic philosophers attacked him. And some said, What would this chatterer say? and some, He seems to be an announcer of foreign demons, because he announced the glad tidings of Jesus and the resurrection to them. Acts 17:18
Now all the Athenians and the strangers sojourning there spent their time in nothing else than to tell and to hear the news. Acts 17:21
And Paul standing in the midst of Areopagus said, Athenians, in every way I see you given up to demon worship; Acts 17:22
for, passing through and beholding your shrines, I found also an altar on which was inscribed, To the unknown God. Whom therefore ye reverence, not knowing him, him I announce to you. Acts 17:23
The God who has made the world and all things which are in it, *he*, being Lord of heaven and earth, does not dwell in temples made with hands, Acts 17:24
and has made of one blood every nation of men to dwell upon the whole face of the earth, having determined ordained times and the boundaries of their dwelling, Acts 17:26
for in him we live and move and exist; as also some of the poets amongst you have said, For we are also his offspring. Acts 17:28
Being therefore the offspring of God, we ought not to think that which is divine to be like gold or silver or stone, the graven form of man's art and imagination. Acts 17:29
God therefore, having overlooked the times of ignorance, now enjoins men that they shall all everywhere repent, Acts 17:30
because he has set a day in which he is going to judge the habitable earth in righteousness by the man whom he has appointed, giving the proof of it to all in having raised him from among the dead. Acts 17:31
And when they heard of the resurrection of the dead, some mocked, and some said, We will hear thee again also concerning this. Acts 17:32
But some men joining themselves to him believed; among whom also was Dionysius the Areopagite, and a woman by name Damaris, and others with them. Acts 17:34
and finding a certain Jew by name Aquila, of Pontus by race, just come from Italy, and Priscilla his wife, (because Claudius had ordered all the Jews to leave Rome,) came to them, Acts 18:2
and because they were of the same trade abode with them, and wrought. For they were tent-makers by trade. Acts 18:3
And he reasoned in the synagogue every sabbath, and persuaded Jews and Greeks. Acts 18:4
And when both Silas and Timotheus came down from Macedonia, Paul was pressed in respect of the word, testifying to the Jews that Jesus was the Christ. Acts 18:5
But as they opposed and spoke injuriously, he shook his clothes, and said to them, Your blood be upon your own head: *I* am pure; from henceforth I will go to the nations. Acts 18:6
And departing thence he came to the house of a certain man, by name Justus, who worshipped God, whose house adjoined the synagogue. Acts 18:7
But Crispus the ruler of the synagogue believed in the Lord with all his house; and many of the Corinthians hearing, believed, and were baptised. Acts 18:8
And the Lord said by vision in the night to Paul, Fear not, but speak and be not silent; Acts 18:9
And he remained there a year and six months, teaching among them the word of God. Acts 18:11
But when Gallio was proconsul of Achaia, the Jews with one consent rose against Paul and led him to the judgment-seat, Acts 18:12
saying, This man persuades men to worship God contrary to the law. Acts 18:13
But as Paul was going to open his mouth, Gallio said to the Jews, If indeed it was some wrong or wicked criminality, O Jews, of reason I should have borne with you; Acts 18:14
but if it be questions about words, and names, and the law that ye have, see to it yourselves; for *I* do not intend to be judge of these things. Acts 18:15
And he drove them from the judgment-seat. Acts 18:16
And having all laid hold on Sosthenes the ruler of the synagogue, they beat him before the judgment-seat. And Gallio troubled himself about none of these things. Acts 18:17
And Paul, having yet stayed there many days, took leave of the brethren and sailed thence to Syria, and with him Priscilla and Aquila, having shorn his head in Cenchrea, for he had a vow; Acts 18:18
and he arrived at Ephesus, and left them there. But entering himself into the synagogue he reasoned with the Jews. Acts 18:19
but bade them farewell, saying, I must by all means keep the coming feast at Jerusalem; I will return to you again, if God will: and he sailed away from Ephesus. Acts 18:21
And landing at Caesarea, and having gone up and saluted the assembly, he went down to Antioch. Acts 18:22
And having stayed there some time, he went forth, passing in order through the country of Galatia and Phrygia, establishing all the disciples. Acts 18:23
But a certain Jew, Apollos by name, an Alexandrian by race, an eloquent man, who was mighty in the scriptures, arrived at Ephesus. Acts 18:24
He was instructed in the way of the Lord, and being fervent in his spirit, he spoke and taught exactly the things concerning Jesus, knowing only the baptism of John. Acts 18:25
And *he* began to speak boldly in the synagogue. And Aquila and Priscilla, having heard him, took him to them and unfolded to him the way of God more exactly. Acts 18:26
And when he purposed to go into Achaia, the brethren wrote to the disciples engaging them to receive him, who, being come, contributed much to those who believed through grace. Acts 18:27
For he with great force convinced the Jews publicly, shewing by the scriptures that Jesus was the Christ. Acts 18:28
And it came to pass, while Apollos was at Corinth, Paul, having passed through the upper districts, came to Ephesus, and finding certain disciples, Acts 19:1
he said to them, Did ye receive the Holy Spirit when ye had believed? And they said to him, We did not even hear if the Holy Spirit was come. Acts 19:2
And he said, To what then were ye baptised? And they said, To the baptism of John. Acts 19:3
And Paul said, John indeed baptised with the baptism of repentance, saying to the people that they should believe on him that was coming after him, that is, on Jesus. Acts 19:4
And when they heard that, they were baptised to the name of the Lord Jesus. Acts 19:5
And Paul having laid his hands on them, the Holy Spirit came upon them, and they spoke with tongues and prophesied. Acts 19:6
And all the men were about twelve. Acts 19:7
And entering into the synagogue, he spoke boldly during three months, reasoning and persuading the things concerning the kingdom of God. Acts 19:8
But when some were hardened and disbelieved, speaking evil of the way before the multitude, he left them and separated the disciples, reasoning daily in the school of Tyrannus. Acts 19:9
And this took place for two years, so that all that inhabited Asia heard the word of the Lord, both Jews and Greeks. Acts 19:10
And God wrought no ordinary miracles by the hands of Paul, Acts 19:11
so that even napkins or aprons were brought from his body and put upon the sick, and the diseases left them, and the wicked spirits went out. Acts 19:12
And certain of the Jewish exorcists also, who went about, took in hand to call upon those who had wicked spirits the name of the Lord Jesus, saying, I adjure you by Jesus, whom Paul preaches. Acts 19:13
But the wicked spirit answering said to them, Jesus I know, and Paul I am acquainted with; but *ye*, who are ye? Acts 19:15
And the man in whom the wicked spirit was leaped upon them, and having mastered both, prevailed against them, so that they fled out of that house naked and wounded. Acts 19:16
And this became known to all, both Jews and Greeks, who inhabited Ephesus, and fear fell upon all of them, and the name of the Lord Jesus was magnified. Acts 19:17
And many of those that practised curious arts brought their books of charms and burnt them before all. And they reckoned up the prices of them, and found it fifty thousand pieces of silver. Acts 19:19
Thus with might the word of the Lord increased and prevailed. Acts 19:20
And there took place at that time no small disturbance about the way. Acts 19:23
For a certain man by name Demetrius, a silver-beater, making silver temples of Artemis, brought no small gain to the artisans; Acts 19:24
Now not only there is danger for us that our business come into discredit, but also that the temple of the great goddess Artemis be counted for nothing, and that her greatness should be destroyed whom the whole of Asia and the world reveres. Acts 19:27
And having heard this, and being filled with rage, they cried out, saying, Great is Artemis of the Ephesians. Acts 19:28
And the whole city was filled with confusion, and they rushed with one accord to the theatre, having seized and carried off with them Gaius and Aristarchus, Macedonians, fellow-travellers of Paul. Acts 19:29
But Paul intending to go in to the people, the disciples suffered him not; Acts 19:30
and some of the Asiarchs also, who were his friends, sent to him and urged him not to throw himself into the theatre. Acts 19:31
Different persons therefore cried out some different thing; for the assembly was tumultuous, and the most did not know for what cause they had come together. Acts 19:32
But from among the crowd they put forward Alexander, the Jews pushing him forward. And Alexander, beckoning with his hand, would have made a defence to the people. Acts 19:33
But, recognising that he was a Jew, there was one cry from all, shouting for about two hours, Great is Artemis of the Ephesians. Acts 19:34
And the townclerk, having quieted the crowd, said, Ephesians, what man is there then who does not know that the city of the Ephesians is temple-keeper of Artemis the great, and of the image which fell down from heaven? Acts 19:35
If therefore Demetrius and the artisans who are with him have a matter against any one, the courts are being held, and there are proconsuls: let them accuse one another. Acts 19:38
But if ye inquire anything concerning other matters, it will be settled in the regular assembly. Acts 19:39
And having said these things, he dismissed the assembly. Acts 19:41
But after the tumult had ceased, Paul having called the disciples to him and embraced them, went away to go to Macedonia. Acts 20:1
And having spent three months there, a treacherous plot against him having been set on foot by the Jews, as he was going to sail to Syria, the resolution was adopted of returning through Macedonia. Acts 20:3
but we sailed away from Philippi after the days of unleavened bread, and we came to them to Troas in five days, where we spent seven days. Acts 20:6
And the first day of the week, we being assembled to break bread, Paul discoursed to them, about to depart on the morrow. And he prolonged the discourse till midnight. Acts 20:7
And there were many lights in the upper room where we were assembled. Acts 20:8
And a certain youth, by name Eutychus, sitting at the window-opening, overpowered by deep sleep, while Paul discoursed very much at length, having been overpowered by the sleep, fell from the third story down to the bottom, and was taken up dead. Acts 20:9
And having gone up, and having broken the bread, and eaten, and having long spoken until daybreak, so he went away. Acts 20:11
And they brought away the boy alive, and were no little comforted. Acts 20:12
and having sailed thence, on the morrow arrived opposite Chios, and the next day put in at Samos; and having stayed at Trogyllium, the next day we came to Miletus: Acts 20:15
for Paul thought it desirable to sail by Ephesus, so that he might not be made to spend time in Asia; for he hastened, if it was possible for him, to be the day of Pentecost at Jerusalem. Acts 20:16
But from Miletus having sent to Ephesus, he called over to him the elders of the assembly. Acts 20:17
And when they were come to him, he said to them, *Ye* know how I was with you all the time from the first day that I arrived in Asia, Acts 20:18
serving the Lord with all lowliness, and tears, and temptations, which happened to me through the plots of the Jews; Acts 20:19
only that the Holy Spirit testifies to me in every city, saying that bonds and tribulations await me. Acts 20:23
But I make no account of my life as dear to myself, so that I finish my course, and the ministry which I have received of the Lord Jesus, to testify the glad tidings of the grace of God. Acts 20:24
And now, behold, I know that ye all, among whom I have gone about preaching the kingdom of God, shall see my face no more. Acts 20:25
Wherefore I witness to you this day, that I am clean from the blood of all, Acts 20:26
for I have not shrunk from announcing to you all the counsel of God. Acts 20:27
Take heed therefore to yourselves, and to all the flock, wherein the Holy Spirit has set you as overseers, to shepherd the assembly of God, which he has purchased with the blood of his own. Acts 20:28
For *I* know this, that there will come in amongst you after my departure grievous wolves, not sparing the flock; Acts 20:29
and from among your own selves shall rise up men speaking perverted things to draw away the disciples after them. Acts 20:30
And now I commit you to God, and to the word of his grace, which is able to build you up and give to you an inheritance among all the sanctified. Acts 20:32
I have coveted the silver or gold or clothing of no one. Acts 20:33
I have shewed you all things, that thus labouring we ought to come in aid of the weak, and to remember the words of the Lord Jesus, that he himself said, It is more blessed to give than to receive. Acts 20:35
And they all wept sore; and falling upon the neck of Paul they ardently kissed him, Acts 20:37
specially pained by the word which he had said, that they would no more see his face. And they went down with him to the ship. Acts 20:38
And when, having got away from them, we at last sailed away, we came by a direct course to Cos, and on the morrow to Rhodes, and thence to Patara. Acts 21:1
and having sighted Cyprus, and left it on the left hand, we sailed to Syria, and made the land at Tyre, for there the ship was to discharge her cargo. Acts 21:3
And having found out the disciples, we remained there seven days; who said to Paul by the Spirit not to go up to Jerusalem. Acts 21:4
But when we had completed the days, we set out and took our journey, all of them accompanying us, with wives and children, till we were out of the city. And kneeling down upon the shore we prayed. Acts 21:5
And we, having completed the voyage, arrived from Tyre at Ptolemais, and having saluted the brethren, we remained one day with them. Acts 21:7
And leaving on the morrow, we came to Caesarea; and entering into the house of Philip the evangelist, who was of the seven, we abode with him. Acts 21:8
and coming to us and taking the girdle of Paul, and having bound his own hands and feet, said, Thus saith the Holy Spirit, The man whose this girdle is shall the Jews thus bind in Jerusalem, and deliver him up into the hands of the Gentiles. Acts 21:11
And when we heard these things, both we and those of the place besought him not to go up to Jerusalem. Acts 21:12
But Paul answered, What do ye, weeping and breaking my heart? for *I* am ready not only to be bound, but also to die at Jerusalem for the name of the Lord Jesus. Acts 21:13
And when he would not be persuaded, we were silent, saying, The will of the Lord be done. Acts 21:14
And some of the disciples from Caesarea went with us, bringing with them a certain Mnason, a Cyprian, an old disciple, with whom we were to lodge. Acts 21:16
And when we arrived at Jerusalem the brethren gladly received us. Acts 21:17
And on the morrow Paul went in with us to James, and all the elders came there. Acts 21:18
And having saluted them, he related one by one the things which God had wrought among the nations by his ministry. Acts 21:19
And they having heard it glorified God, and said to him, Thou seest, brother, how many myriads there are of the Jews who have believed, and all are zealous of the law. Acts 21:20
And they have been informed concerning thee, that thou teachest all the Jews among the nations apostasy from Moses, saying that they should not circumcise their children, nor walk in the customs. Acts 21:21
take these and be purified with them, and pay their expenses, that they may have their heads shaved; and all will know that of those things of which they have been informed about thee nothing is true; but that thou thyself also walkest orderly, keeping the law. Acts 21:24
But concerning those of the nations who have believed, we have written, deciding that they should observe no such thing, only to keep themselves both from things offered to idols, and from blood, and from things strangled, and from fornication. Acts 21:25
Then Paul, taking the men, on the next day, having been purified, entered with them into the temple, signifying the time the days of the purification would be fulfilled, until the offering was offered for every one of them. Acts 21:26
And when the seven days were nearly completed, the Jews from Asia, having seen him in the temple, set all the crowd in a tumult, and laid hands upon him, Acts 21:27
crying, Israelites, help! this is the man who teaches all everywhere against the people, and the law, and this place, and has brought Greeks too into the temple, and profaned this holy place. Acts 21:28
For they had before seen Trophimus the Ephesian with him in the city, whom they supposed that Paul had brought into the temple. Acts 21:29
And the whole city was moved, and there was a concourse of the people; and having laid hold on Paul they drew him out of the temple, and immediately the doors were shut. Acts 21:30
And as they were seeking to kill him, a representation came to the chiliarch of the band that the whole of Jerusalem was in a tumult; Acts 21:31
who, taking with him immediately soldiers and centurions, ran down upon them. But they, seeing the chiliarch and the soldiers, ceased beating Paul. Acts 21:32
Then the chiliarch came up and laid hold upon him, and commanded him to be bound with two chains, and inquired who he might be, and what he had done. Acts 21:33
And different persons cried some different thing in the crowd. But he, not being able to know the certainty on account of the uproar, commanded him to be brought into the fortress. Acts 21:34
But when he got upon the stairs it was so that he was borne by the soldiers on account of the violence of the crowd. Acts 21:35
For the multitude of the people followed, crying, Away with him. Acts 21:36
But as he was about to be led into the fortress, Paul says to the chiliarch, Is it allowed me to say something to thee? And he said, Dost thou know Greek? Acts 21:37
Thou art not then that Egyptian who before these days raised a sedition and led out into the wilderness the four thousand men of the assassins? Acts 21:38
But Paul said, *I* am a Jew of Tarsus, citizen of no insignificant city of Cilicia, and I beseech of thee, allow me to speak to the people. Acts 21:39
And when he had allowed him, Paul, standing on the stairs, beckoned with his hand to the people; and a great silence having been made, he addressed them in the Hebrew tongue, saying, Acts 21:40
And hearing that he addressed them in the Hebrew tongue, they kept the more quiet; and he says, Acts 22:2
*I* am a Jew, born in Tarsus of Cilicia, but brought up in this city, at the feet of Gamaliel, educated according to the exactness of the law of our fathers, being zealous for God, as *ye* are all this day; Acts 22:3
as also the high priest bears me witness, and all the elderhood: from whom also, having received letters to the brethren, I went to Damascus to bring those also who were there, bound, to Jerusalem, to be punished. Acts 22:5
And I fell to the ground, and heard a voice saying to me, Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me? Acts 22:7
And *I* answered, Who art thou, Lord? And he said to me, *I* am Jesus the Nazaraean, whom *thou* persecutest. Acts 22:8
But they that were with me beheld the light, and were filled with fear, but heard not the voice of him that was speaking to me. Acts 22:9
And I said, What shall I do, Lord? And the Lord said to me, Rise up, and go to Damascus, and there it shall be told thee of all things which it is appointed thee to do. Acts 22:10
And as I could not see, through the glory of that light, being led by the hand of those who were with me, I came to Damascus. Acts 22:11
And a certain Ananias, a pious man according to the law, borne witness to by all the Jews who dwelt there, Acts 22:12
coming to me and standing by me, said to me, Brother Saul, receive thy sight. And *I*, in the same hour, received my sight and saw him. Acts 22:13
And he said, The God of our fathers has chosen thee beforehand to know his will, and to see the just one, and to hear a voice out of his mouth; Acts 22:14
And it came to pass when I had returned to Jerusalem, and as I was praying in the temple, that I became in ecstasy, Acts 22:17
and when the blood of thy witness Stephen was shed, I also myself was standing by and consenting, and kept the clothes of them who killed him. Acts 22:20
And he said to me, Go, for *I* will send thee to the nations afar off. Acts 22:21
And they heard him until this word, and lifted up their voice, saying, Away with such a one as that from the earth, for it was not fit he should live. Acts 22:22
And as they were crying, and throwing away their clothes, and casting dust into the air, Acts 22:23
the chiliarch commanded him to be brought into the fortress, saying that he should be examined by scourging, that he might ascertain for what cause they cried thus against him. Acts 22:24
But as they stretched him forward with the thongs, Paul said to the centurion who stood by, Is it lawful for you to scourge a man who is a Roman and uncondemned? Acts 22:25
And the centurion, having heard it, went and reported it to the chiliarch, saying, What art thou going to do? for this man is a Roman. Acts 22:26
And the chiliarch coming up said to him, Tell me, Art *thou* a Roman? And he said, Yes. Acts 22:27
And the chiliarch answered, *I*, for a great sum, bought this citizenship. And Paul said, But *I* was also free born. Acts 22:28
Immediately therefore those who were going to examine him left him, and the chiliarch also was afraid when he ascertained that he was a Roman, and because he had bound him. Acts 22:29
And on the morrow, desirous to know the certainty of the matter why he was accused of the Jews, he loosed him, and commanded the chief priests and all the council to meet, and having brought Paul down set him before them. Acts 22:30
And Paul, fixing his eyes on the council, said, Brethren, I have walked in all good conscience with God unto this day. Acts 23:1
But the high priest Ananias ordered those standing by him to smite his mouth. Acts 23:2
Then Paul said to him, God will smite thee, whited wall. And *thou*, dost thou sit judging me according to the law, and breaking the law commandest me to be smitten? Acts 23:3
And those that stood by said, Dost thou rail against the high priest of God? Acts 23:4
And Paul said, I was not conscious, brethren, that he was high priest; for it is written, Thou shalt not speak evilly of the ruler of thy people. Acts 23:5
But Paul, knowing that the one part of them were of the Sadducees and the other of the Pharisees, cried out in the council, Brethren, *I* am a Pharisee, son of Pharisees: *I* am judged concerning the hope and resurrection of the dead. Acts 23:6
And when he had spoken this, there was a tumult of the Pharisees and the Sadducees, and the multitude was divided. Acts 23:7
And there was a great clamour, and the scribes of the Pharisees' part rising up contended, saying, We find nothing evil in this man; and if a spirit has spoken to him, or an angel ... Acts 23:9
And a great tumult having arisen, the chiliarch, fearing lest Paul should have been torn in pieces by them, commanded the troop to come down and take him by force from the midst of them, and to bring him into the fortress. Acts 23:10
But the following night the Lord stood by him, and said, Be of good courage; for as thou hast testified the things concerning me at Jerusalem, so thou must bear witness at Rome also. Acts 23:11
And when it was day, the Jews, having banded together, put themselves under a curse, saying that they would neither eat nor drink till they should kill Paul. Acts 23:12
and they went to the chief priests and elders, and said, We have cursed ourselves with a curse to taste nothing until we kill Paul. Acts 23:14
Now therefore do ye with the council make a representation to the chiliarch so that he may bring him down to you, as about to determine more precisely what concerns him, and we, before he draws near, are ready to kill him. Acts 23:15
But Paul's sister's son, having heard of the lying in wait, came and entered into the fortress and reported it to Paul. Acts 23:16
And Paul, having called one of the centurions, said, Take this youth to the chiliarch, for he has something to report to him. Acts 23:17
He therefore, having taken him with him, led him to the chiliarch, and says, The prisoner Paul called me to him and asked me to lead this youth to thee, who has something to say to thee. Acts 23:18
And the chiliarch having taken him by the hand, and having gone apart in private, inquired, What is it that thou hast to report to me? Acts 23:19
And he said, The Jews have agreed together to make a request to thee, that thou mayest bring Paul down to-morrow into the council, as about to inquire something more precise concerning him. Acts 23:20
Do not thou then be persuaded by them, for there lie in wait for him of them more than forty men, who have put themselves under a curse neither to eat nor drink till they kill him; and now they are ready waiting the promise from thee. Acts 23:21
The chiliarch then dismissed the youth, commanding him, Utter to no one that thou hast represented these things to me. Acts 23:22
And having called to him certain two of the centurions, he said, Prepare two hundred soldiers that they may go as far as Caesarea, and seventy horsemen, and two hundred light-armed footmen, for the third hour of the night. Acts 23:23
And he ordered them to provide beasts, that they might set Paul on them and carry him safe through to Felix the governor, Acts 23:24
Claudius Lysias to the most excellent governor Felix, greeting. Acts 23:26
This man, having been taken by the Jews, and being about to be killed by them, I came up with the military and took out of their hands, having learned that he was a Roman. Acts 23:27
And desiring to know the charge on which they accused him, I brought him down to their council; Acts 23:28
But having received information of a plot about to be put in execution against the man by the Jews, I have immediately sent him to thee, commanding also his accusers to say before thee the things that are against him. Farewell. Acts 23:30
The soldiers therefore, according to what was ordered them, took Paul and brought him by night to Antipatris, Acts 23:31
and on the morrow, having left the horsemen to go with him, returned to the fortress. Acts 23:32
And these, having entered into Caesarea, and given up the letter to the governor, presented Paul also to him. Acts 23:33
And after five days came down the high priest Ananias, with the elders, and a certain orator called Tertullus, and laid their informations against Paul before the governor. Acts 24:1
For finding this man a pest, and moving sedition among all the Jews throughout the world, and a leader of the sect of the Nazaraeans; Acts 24:5
who also attempted to profane the temple; whom we also had seized, and would have judged according to our law; Acts 24:6
but Lysias, the chiliarch, coming up, took him away with great force out of our hands, Acts 24:7
having commanded his accusers to come to thee; of whom thou canst thyself, in examining him, know the certainty of all these things of which we accuse him. Acts 24:8
And the Jews also joined in pressing the matter against Paul, saying that these things were so. Acts 24:9
But Paul, the governor having beckoned to him to speak, answered, Knowing that for many years thou hast been judge to this nation, I answer readily as to the things which concern myself. Acts 24:10
and neither in the temple did they find me discoursing to any one, or making any tumultuous gathering together of the crowd, nor in the synagogues, nor in the city; Acts 24:12
neither can they make good the things of which they now accuse me. Acts 24:13
But this I avow to thee, that in the way which they call sect, so I serve my fathers' God, believing all things which are written throughout the law, and in the prophets; Acts 24:14
Whereupon they found me purified in the temple, with neither crowd nor tumult. But it was certain Jews from Asia, Acts 24:18
or let these themselves say what wrong they found in me when I stood before the council, Acts 24:20
other than concerning this one voice which I cried standing amongst them: I am judged this day by you touching the resurrection of the dead. Acts 24:21
And Felix, knowing accurately the things concerning the way, adjourned them, saying, When Lysias the chiliarch is come down I will determine your affair; Acts 24:22
ordering the centurion to keep him, and that he should have freedom, and to hinder none of his friends to minister to him. Acts 24:23
And after certain days, Felix having arrived with Drusilla his wife, who was a Jewess, he sent for Paul and heard him concerning the faith in Christ. Acts 24:24
And as he reasoned concerning righteousness, and temperance, and the judgment about to come, Felix, being filled with fear, answered, Go for the present, and when I get an opportunity I will send for thee; Acts 24:25
hoping at the same time that money would be given him by Paul: wherefore also he sent for him the oftener and communed with him. Acts 24:26
But when two years were completed, Felix was relieved by Porcius Festus as his successor; and Felix, desirous to oblige the Jews, to acquire their favour, left Paul bound. Acts 24:27
Festus therefore, being come into the eparchy, after three days went up to Jerusalem from Caesarea. Acts 25:1
And the chief priests and the chief of the Jews laid informations before him against Paul, and besought him, Acts 25:2
asking as a grace against him that he would send for him to Jerusalem, laying people in wait to kill him on the way. Acts 25:3
Let therefore the persons of authority among you, says he, going down too, if there be anything in this man, accuse him. Acts 25:5
And having remained among them not more than eight or ten days, he went down to Caesarea; and on the next day, having sat down on the judgment-seat, commanded Paul to be brought. Acts 25:6
And when he was come, the Jews who were come down from Jerusalem stood round, bringing many and grievous charges which they were not able to prove: Acts 25:7
Paul answering for himself, Neither against the law of the Jews, nor against the temple, nor against Caesar, have I offended in anything. Acts 25:8
But Festus, desirous of obliging the Jews, to acquire their favour, answering Paul, said, Art thou willing to go up to Jerusalem, there to be judged before me concerning these things? Acts 25:9
But Paul said, I am standing before the judgment-seat of Caesar, where I ought to be judged. To the Jews have I done no wrong, as *thou* also very well knowest. Acts 25:10
Then Festus, having conferred with the council, answered, Thou hast appealed to Caesar. To Caesar shalt thou go. Acts 25:12
And when certain days had elapsed, Agrippa the king and Bernice arrived at Caesarea to salute Festus. Acts 25:13
And when they had spent many days there, Festus laid before the king the matters relating to Paul, saying, There is a certain man left prisoner by Felix, Acts 25:14
concerning whom, when I was at Jerusalem, the chief priests and the elders of the Jews laid informations, requiring judgment against him: Acts 25:15
to whom I answered, It is not the custom of the Romans to give up any man before that the accused have the accusers face to face, and he have got opportunity of defence touching the charge. Acts 25:16
When therefore they had come together here, without putting it off, I sat the next day on the judgment-seat and commanded the man to be brought: Acts 25:17
concerning whom the accusers, standing up, brought no such accusation of guilt as *I* supposed; Acts 25:18
But Paul having appealed to be kept for the cognisance of Augustus, I commanded him to be kept till I shall send him to Caesar. Acts 25:21
And Agrippa said to Festus, I myself also would desire to hear the man. To-morrow, said he, thou shalt hear him. Acts 25:22
On the morrow therefore, Agrippa being come, and Bernice, with great pomp, and having entered into the hall of audience, with the chiliarchs and the men of distinction of the city, and Festus having given command, Paul was brought. Acts 25:23
And Festus said, King Agrippa, and all men who are here present with us, ye see this person, concerning whom all the multitude of the Jews applied to me both in Jerusalem and here, crying out against him that he ought not to live any longer. Acts 25:24
for it seems to me senseless, sending a prisoner, not also to signify the charges against him. Acts 25:27
I count myself happy, king Agrippa, in having to answer to-day before thee concerning all of which I am accused by the Jews, Acts 26:2
especially because thou art acquainted with all the customs and questions which are among the Jews; wherefore I beseech thee to hear me patiently. Acts 26:3
My manner of life then from my youth, which from its commencement was passed among my nation in Jerusalem, know all the Jews, Acts 26:4
who knew me before from the outset of my life, if they would bear witness, that according to the strictest sect of our religion I lived a Pharisee. Acts 26:5
And now I stand to be judged because of the hope of the promise made by God to our fathers, Acts 26:6
to which our whole twelve tribes serving incessantly day and night hope to arrive; about which hope, O king, I am accused of the Jews. Acts 26:7
Why should it be judged a thing incredible in your sight if God raises the dead? Acts 26:8
*I* indeed myself thought that I ought to do much against the name of Jesus the Nazaraean. Acts 26:9
Which also I did in Jerusalem, and myself shut up in prisons many of the saints, having received the authority from the chief priests; and when they were put to death I gave my vote. Acts 26:10
And often punishing them in all the synagogues, I compelled them to blaspheme. And, being exceedingly furious against them, I persecuted them even to cities out of our own land. Acts 26:11
And when, engaged in this, I was journeying to Damascus, with authority and power from the chief priests, Acts 26:12
at mid-day, on the way, I saw, O king, a light above the brightness of the sun, shining from heaven round about me and those who were journeying with me. Acts 26:13
And, when we were all fallen to the ground, I heard a voice saying to me in the Hebrew tongue, Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me? it is hard for thee to kick against goads. Acts 26:14
And I said, Who art thou, Lord? And the Lord said, *I* am Jesus whom *thou* persecutest: Acts 26:15
taking thee out from among the people, and the nations, to whom *I* send thee, Acts 26:17
to open their eyes, that they may turn from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan to God, that they may receive remission of sins and inheritance among them that are sanctified by faith in me. Acts 26:18
Whereupon, king Agrippa, I was not disobedient to the heavenly vision; Acts 26:19
but have, first to those both in Damascus and Jerusalem, and to all the region of Judaea, and to the nations, announced that they should repent and turn to God, doing works worthy of repentance. Acts 26:20
On account of these things the Jews, having seized me in the temple, attempted to lay hands on and destroy me. Acts 26:21
Having therefore met with the help which is from God, I have stood firm unto this day, witnessing both to small and great, saying nothing else than those things which both the prophets and Moses have said should happen, Acts 26:22
namely, whether Christ should suffer; whether he first, through resurrection of the dead, should announce light both to the people and to the nations. Acts 26:23
for the king is informed about these things, to whom also I speak with all freedom. For I am persuaded that of these things nothing is hidden from him; for this was not done in a corner. Acts 26:26
King Agrippa, believest thou the prophets? I know that thou believest. Acts 26:27
And the king stood up, and the governor and Bernice, and those who sat with them, Acts 26:30
And going on board a ship of Adramyttium about to navigate by the places along Asia, we set sail, Aristarchus, a Macedonian of Thessalonica, being with us. Acts 27:2
And the next day we arrived at Sidon. And Julius treated Paul kindly and suffered him to go to his friends and refresh himself. Acts 27:3
And setting sail thence we sailed under the lee of Cyprus, because the winds were contrary. Acts 27:4
And having sailed over the waters of Cilicia and Pamphylia we came to Myra in Lycia: Acts 27:5
and there the centurion having found a ship of Alexandria sailing to Italy, he made us go on board her. Acts 27:6
And sailing slowly for many days, and having with difficulty got abreast of Cnidus, the wind not suffering us, we sailed under the lee of Crete abreast of Salmone; Acts 27:7
and coasting it with difficulty we came to a certain place called Fair Havens, near to which was the city of Lasaea. Acts 27:8
And much time having now been spent, and navigation being already dangerous, because the fast also was already past, Paul counselled them, Acts 27:9
saying, Men, I perceive that the navigation will be with disaster and much loss, not only of the cargo and the ship, but also of our lives. Acts 27:10
But the centurion believed rather the helmsman and the shipowner than what was said by Paul. Acts 27:11
And the harbour being ill adapted to winter in, the most counselled to set sail thence, if perhaps they might reach Phoenice to winter in, a port of Crete looking north-east and south-east. Acts 27:12
And the south wind blowing gently, supposing that they had gained their object, having weighed anchor they sailed close in shore along Crete. Acts 27:13
And the ship being caught and driven, and not able to bring her head to the wind, letting her go we were driven before it. Acts 27:15
But running under the lee of a certain island called Clauda, we were with difficulty able to make ourselves masters of the boat; Acts 27:16
which having hoisted up, they used helps, frapping the ship; and fearing lest they should run into Syrtis and run aground, and having lowered the gear they were so driven. Acts 27:17
But the storm being extremely violent on us, on the next day they threw cargo overboard, Acts 27:18
and on the third day with their own hands they cast away the ship furniture. Acts 27:19
And neither sun nor stars appearing for many days, and no small storm lying on us, in the end all hope of our being saved was taken away. Acts 27:20
And when they had been a long while without taking food, Paul then standing up in the midst of them said, Ye ought, O men, to have hearkened to me, and not have made sail from Crete and have gained this disaster and loss. Acts 27:21
And now I exhort you to be of good courage, for there shall be no loss at all of life of any of you, only of the ship. Acts 27:22
For an angel of the God, whose I am and whom I serve, stood by me this night, Acts 27:23
And when the fourteenth night was come, we being driven about in Adria, towards the middle of the night the sailors supposed that some land neared them, Acts 27:27
and fearing lest we should be cast on rocky places, casting four anchors out of the stern, they wished that day were come. Acts 27:29
But the sailors wishing to flee out of the ship, and having let down the boat into the sea under pretext of being about to carry out anchors from the prow, Acts 27:30
Paul said to the centurion and the soldiers, Unless these abide in the ship *ye* cannot be saved. Acts 27:31
Then the soldiers cut away the ropes of the boat and let her fall. Acts 27:32
And while it was drawing on to daylight, Paul exhorted them all to partake of food, saying, Ye have passed the fourteenth day watching in expectation without taking food. Acts 27:33
Wherefore I exhort you to partake of food, for this has to do with your safety; for not a hair from the head of any one of you shall perish. Acts 27:34
And we were in the ship, all the souls, two hundred and seventy-six. Acts 27:37
And having satisfied themselves with food, they lightened the ship, casting out the wheat into the sea. Acts 27:38
And when it was day they did not recognise the land; but they perceived a certain bay having a strand, on which they were minded, if they should be able, to run the ship ashore; Acts 27:39
and, having cast off the anchors, they left them in the sea, at the same time loosening the lashings of the rudders, and hoisting the foresail to the wind, they made for the strand. Acts 27:40
And falling into a place where two seas met they ran the ship aground, and the prow having stuck itself fast remained unmoved, but the stern was broken by the force of the waves. Acts 27:41
And the counsel of the soldiers was that they should kill the prisoners, lest any one should swim off and escape. Acts 27:42
But the centurion, desirous of saving Paul, hindered them of their purpose, and commanded those who were able to swim, casting themselves first into the sea, to get out on land; Acts 27:43
and the rest, some on boards, some on some of the things that came from the ship; and thus it came to pass that all got safe to land. Acts 27:44
And when we got safe to land we then knew that the island was called Melita. Acts 28:1
But the barbarians shewed us no common kindness; for, having kindled a fire, they took us all in because of the rain that was falling and because of the cold. Acts 28:2
And Paul having gathered a certain quantity of sticks together in a bundle and laid it on the fire, a viper coming out from the heat seized his hand. Acts 28:3
And when the barbarians saw the beast hanging from his hand, they said to one another, This man is certainly a murderer, whom, though saved out of the sea, Nemesis has not allowed to live. Acts 28:4
*He* however, having shaken off the beast into the fire, felt no harm. Acts 28:5
Now in the country surrounding that place were the lands belonging to the chief man of the island, by name Publius, who received us and gave us hospitality three days in a very friendly way. Acts 28:7
And it happened that the father of Publius lay ill of fever and dysentery; to whom Paul entered in, and having prayed and laid his hands on him cured him. Acts 28:8
But this having taken place, the rest also who had sicknesses in the island came and were healed: Acts 28:9
And after three months we sailed in a ship which had wintered in the island, an Alexandrian, with the Dioscuri for its ensign. Acts 28:11
Whence, going in a circuitous course, we arrived at Rhegium; and after one day, the wind having changed to south, on the second day we came to Puteoli, Acts 28:13
And thence the brethren, having heard about us, came to meet us as far as Appii Forum and Tres Tabernae, whom when Paul saw, he thanked God and took courage. Acts 28:15
And when we came to Rome, the centurion delivered up the prisoners to the praetorian prefect, but Paul was allowed to remain by himself with the soldier who kept him. Acts 28:16
And it came to pass after three days, that he called together those who were the chief of the Jews; and when they had come together he said to them, Brethren, *I* having done nothing against the people or the customs of our forefathers, have been delivered a prisoner from Jerusalem into the hands of the Romans, Acts 28:17
But the Jews speaking against it, I was compelled to appeal to Caesar, not as having anything to accuse my nation of. Acts 28:19
For this cause therefore I have called you to me to see and to speak to you; for on account of the hope of Israel I have this chain about me. Acts 28:20
And they said to him, For our part, we have neither received letters from Judaea concerning thee, nor has any one of the brethren who has arrived reported or said anything evil concerning thee. Acts 28:21
And having appointed him a day many came to him to the lodging, to whom he expounded, testifying of the kingdom of God, and persuading them concerning Jesus, both from the law of Moses and the prophets, from early morning to evening. Acts 28:23
And some were persuaded of the things which were said, but some disbelieved. Acts 28:24
And being disagreed among themselves they left; Paul having spoken one word, Well spoke the Holy Spirit through Esaias the prophet to our fathers, Acts 28:25
For the heart of this people has become fat, and they hear heavily with their ears, and they have closed their eyes; lest they should see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and understand with their heart, and be converted, and I should heal them. Acts 28:27
Be it known to you therefore, that this salvation of God has been sent to the nations; *they* also will hear it. Acts 28:28
And he having said this, the Jews went away, having great reasoning among themselves. Acts 28:29
preaching the kingdom of God, and teaching the things concerning the Lord Jesus Christ, with all freedom unhinderedly. Acts 28:31
marked out Son of God in power, according to the Spirit of holiness, by resurrection of the dead) Jesus Christ our Lord; Rom. 1:4
by whom we have received grace and apostleship in behalf of his name, for obedience of faith among all the nations, Rom. 1:5
among whom are *ye* also the called of Jesus Christ: Rom. 1:6
First, I thank my God through Jesus Christ for you all, that your faith is proclaimed in the whole world. Rom. 1:8
For God is my witness, whom I serve in my spirit in the glad tidings of his Son, how unceasingly I make mention of you, Rom. 1:9
always beseeching at my prayers, if any way now at least I may be prospered by the will of God to come to you. Rom. 1:10
that is, to have mutual comfort among you, each by the faith which is in the other, both yours and mine. Rom. 1:12
But I do not wish you to be ignorant, brethren, that I often proposed to come to you, (and have been hindered until the present time,) that I might have some fruit among you too, even as among the other nations also. Rom. 1:13
so, as far as depends on me, am I ready to announce the glad tidings to you also who are in Rome. Rom. 1:15
For I am not ashamed of the glad tidings; for it is God's power to salvation, to every one that believes, both to Jew first and to Greek: Rom. 1:16
for righteousness of God is revealed therein, on the principle of faith, to faith: according as it is written, But the just shall live by faith. Rom. 1:17
For there is revealed wrath of God from heaven upon all impiety, and unrighteousness of men holding the truth in unrighteousness. Rom. 1:18
-- for from the world's creation the invisible things of him are perceived, being apprehended by the mind through the things that are made, both his eternal power and divinity, -- so as to render them inexcusable. Rom. 1:20
and changed the glory of the incorruptible God into the likeness of an image of corruptible man and of birds and quadrupeds and reptiles. Rom. 1:23
Wherefore God gave them up also in the lusts of their hearts to uncleanness, to dishonour their bodies between themselves: Rom. 1:24
who changed the truth of God into falsehood, and honoured and served the creature more than him who had created it, who is blessed for ever. Amen. Rom. 1:25
For this reason God gave them up to vile lusts; for both their females changed the natural use into that contrary to nature; Rom. 1:26
and in like manner the males also, leaving the natural use of the female, were inflamed in their lust towards one another; males with males working shame, and receiving in themselves the recompense of their error which was fit. Rom. 1:27
who knowing the righteous judgment of God, that they who do such things are worthy of death, not only practise them, but have fellow delight in those who do them. Rom. 1:32
Therefore thou art inexcusable, O man, every one who judgest, for in that in which thou judgest another, thou condemnest thyself; for thou that judgest doest the same things. Rom. 2:1
But we know that the judgment of God is according to truth upon those who do such things. Rom. 2:2
And thinkest thou this, O man, who judgest those that do such things, and practisest them thyself, that *thou* shalt escape the judgment of God? Rom. 2:3
or despisest thou the riches of his goodness, and forbearance, and long-suffering, not knowing that the goodness of God leads thee to repentance? Rom. 2:4
but, according to thy hardness and impenitent heart, treasurest up to thyself wrath, in the day of wrath and revelation of the righteous judgment of God, Rom. 2:5
But to those that are contentious, and are disobedient to the truth, but obey unrighteousness, there shall be wrath and indignation, Rom. 2:8
(for not the hearers of the law are just before God, but the doers of the law shall be justified. Rom. 2:13
For when those of the nations, which have no law, practise by nature the things of the law, these, having no law, are a law to themselves; Rom. 2:14
who shew the work of the law written in their hearts, their conscience also bearing witness, and their thoughts accusing or else excusing themselves between themselves;) Rom. 2:15
in the day when God shall judge the secrets of men, according to my glad tidings, by Jesus Christ. Rom. 2:16
But if *thou* art named a Jew, and restest in the law, and makest thy boast in God, Rom. 2:17
and knowest the will, and discerningly approvest the things that are more excellent, being instructed out of the law; Rom. 2:18
and hast confidence that thou thyself art a leader of the blind, a light of those who are in darkness, Rom. 2:19
an instructor of the foolish, a teacher of babes, having the form of knowledge and of truth in the law: Rom. 2:20
thou who boastest in law, dost thou by transgression of the law dishonour God? Rom. 2:23
For the name of God is blasphemed on your account among the nations, according as it is written. Rom. 2:24
For circumcision indeed profits if thou keep the law; but if thou be a law-transgressor, thy circumcision is become uncircumcision. Rom. 2:25
If therefore the uncircumcision keep the requirements of the law, shall not his uncircumcision be reckoned for circumcision, Rom. 2:26
and uncircumcision by nature, fulfilling the law, judge thee, who, with letter and circumcision, art a law-transgressor? Rom. 2:27
but he is a Jew who is so inwardly; and circumcision, of the heart, in spirit, not in letter; whose praise is not of men, but of God. Rom. 2:29
What then is the superiority of the Jew? or what the profit of circumcision? Rom. 3:1
Much every way: and first, indeed, that to them were entrusted the oracles of God. Rom. 3:2
For what? if some have not believed, shall their unbelief make the faith of God of none effect? Rom. 3:3
Far be the thought: but let God be true, and every man false; according as it is written, So that thou shouldest be justified in thy words, and shouldest overcome when thou art in judgment. Rom. 3:4
Far be the thought: since how shall God judge the world? Rom. 3:6
For if the truth of God, in my lie, has more abounded to his glory, why yet am *I* also judged as a sinner? Rom. 3:7
there is not the man that understands, there is not one that seeks after God. Rom. 3:11
All have gone out of the way, they have together become unprofitable; there is not one that practises goodness, there is not so much as one: Rom. 3:12
Now we know that whatever the things the law says, it speaks to those under the law, that every mouth may be stopped, and all the world be under judgment to God. Rom. 3:19
But now without law righteousness of God is manifested, borne witness to by the law and the prophets; Rom. 3:21
for all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; Rom. 3:23
being justified freely by his grace through the redemption which is in Christ Jesus; Rom. 3:24
whom God has set forth a mercy-seat, through faith in his blood, for the shewing forth of his righteousness, in respect of the passing by the sins that had taken place before, through the forbearance of God; Rom. 3:25
for the shewing forth of his righteousness in the present time, so that he should be just, and justify him that is of the faith of Jesus. Rom. 3:26
Is God the God of Jews only? is he not of the nations also? Yea, of nations also: Rom. 3:29
since indeed it is one God who shall justify the circumcision on the principle of faith, and uncircumcision by faith. Rom. 3:30
Do we then make void law by faith? Far be the thought: no, but we establish law. Rom. 3:31
For if Abraham has been justified on the principle of works, he has whereof to boast: but not before God; Rom. 4:2
for what does the scripture say? And Abraham believed God, and it was reckoned to him as righteousness. Rom. 4:3
Now to him that works the reward is not reckoned as of grace, but of debt: Rom. 4:4
but to him who does not work, but believes on him who justifies the ungodly, his faith is reckoned as righteousness. Rom. 4:5
Even as David also declares the blessedness of the man to whom God reckons righteousness without works: Rom. 4:6
blessed the man to whom the Lord shall not at all reckon sin. Rom. 4:8
Does this blessedness then rest on the circumcision, or also on the uncircumcision? For we say that faith has been reckoned to Abraham as righteousness. Rom. 4:9
And he received the sign of circumcision as seal of the righteousness of faith which he had being in uncircumcision, that he might be the father of all them that believe being in uncircumcision, that righteousness might be reckoned to them also; Rom. 4:11
and father of circumcision, not only to those who are of the circumcision, but to those also who walk in the steps of the faith, during uncircumcision, of our father Abraham. Rom. 4:12
For it was not by law that the promise was to Abraham, or to his seed, that he should be heir of the world, but by righteousness of faith. Rom. 4:13
For if they which are of law be heirs, faith is made vain, and the promise made of no effect. Rom. 4:14
Therefore it is on the principle of faith, that it might be according to grace, in order to the promise being sure to all the seed, not to that only which is of the law, but to that also which is of Abraham's faith, who is father of us all, Rom. 4:16
(according as it is written, I have made thee father of many nations,) before the God whom he believed, who quickens the dead, and calls the things which be not as being; Rom. 4:17
and not being weak in faith, he considered not his own body already become dead, being about a hundred years old, and the deadening of Sarah's womb, Rom. 4:19
and hesitated not at the promise of God through unbelief; but found strength in faith, giving glory to God; Rom. 4:20
but on ours also, to whom, believing on him who has raised from among the dead Jesus our Lord, Rom. 4:24
Therefore having been justified on the principle of faith, we have peace towards God through our Lord Jesus Christ; Rom. 5:1
by whom we have also access by faith into this favour in which we stand, and we boast in hope of the glory of God. Rom. 5:2
and hope does not make ashamed, because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Spirit which has been given to us: Rom. 5:5
for we being still without strength, in the due time Christ has died for the ungodly. Rom. 5:6
For scarcely for the just man will one die, for perhaps for the good man some one might also dare to die; Rom. 5:7
Much rather therefore, having been now justified in the power of his blood, we shall be saved by him from wrath. Rom. 5:9
For if, being enemies, we have been reconciled to God through the death of his Son, much rather, having been reconciled, we shall be saved in the power of his life. Rom. 5:10
And not only that, but we are making our boast in God, through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom now we have received the reconciliation. Rom. 5:11
* For this cause, even as by one man sin entered into the world, and by sin death; and thus death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned: Rom. 5:12
(for until law sin was in the world; but sin is not put to account when there is no law; Rom. 5:13
but death reigned from Adam until Moses, even upon those who had not sinned in the likeness of Adam's transgression, who is the figure of him to come. Rom. 5:14
But shall not the act of favour be as the offence? For if by the offence of one the many have died, much rather has the grace of God, and the free gift in grace, which is by the one man Jesus Christ, abounded unto the many. Rom. 5:15
And shall not as by one that has sinned be the gift? For the judgment was of one to condemnation, but the act of favour, of many offences unto justification. Rom. 5:16
For if by the offence of the one death reigned by the one, much rather shall those who receive the abundance of grace, and of the free gift of righteousness, reign in life by the one Jesus Christ:) Rom. 5:17
For as indeed by the disobedience of the one man the many have been constituted sinners, so also by the obedience of the one the many will be constituted righteous. Rom. 5:19
But law came in, in order that the offence might abound; but where sin abounded grace has overabounded, Rom. 5:20
in order that, even as sin has reigned in the power of death, so also grace might reign through righteousness to eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. Rom. 5:21
Far be the thought. We who have died to sin, how shall we still live in it? Rom. 6:2
We have been buried therefore with him by baptism unto death, in order that, even as Christ has been raised up from among the dead by the glory of the Father, so *we* also should walk in newness of life. Rom. 6:4
For if we are become identified with him in the likeness of his death, so also we shall be of his resurrection; Rom. 6:5
knowing this, that our old man has been crucified with him, that the body of sin might be annulled, that we should no longer serve sin. Rom. 6:6
knowing that Christ having been raised up from among the dead dies no more: death has dominion over him no more. Rom. 6:9
Neither yield your members instruments of unrighteousness to sin, but yield yourselves to God as alive from among the dead, and your members instruments of righteousness to God. Rom. 6:13
What then? should we sin because we are not under law but under grace? Far be the thought. Rom. 6:15
But thanks be to God, that ye were bondmen of sin, but have obeyed from the heart the form of teaching into which ye were instructed. Rom. 6:17
I speak humanly on account of the weakness of your flesh. For even as ye have yielded your members in bondage to uncleanness and to lawlessness unto lawlessness, so now yield your members in bondage to righteousness unto holiness. Rom. 6:19
What fruit therefore had ye *then* in the things of which ye are *now* ashamed? for the end of *them* is death. Rom. 6:21
But *now*, having got your freedom from sin, and having become bondmen to God, ye have your fruit unto holiness, and the end eternal life. Rom. 6:22
For the wages of sin is death; but the act of favour of God, eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord. Rom. 6:23
For the married woman is bound by law to her husband so long as he is alive; but if the husband should die, she is clear from the law of the husband: Rom. 7:2
so then, the husband being alive, she shall be called an adulteress if she be to another man; but if the husband should die, she is free from the law, so as not to be an adulteress, though she be to another man. Rom. 7:3
So that, my brethren, *ye* also have been made dead to the law by the body of the Christ, to be to another, who has been raised up from among the dead, in order that we might bear fruit to God. Rom. 7:4
For when we were in the flesh the passions of sins, which were by the law, wrought in our members to bring forth fruit to death; Rom. 7:5
but now we are clear from the law, having died in that in which we were held, so that we should serve in newness of spirit, and not in oldness of letter. Rom. 7:6
What shall we say then? is the law sin? Far be the thought. But I had not known sin, unless by law: for I had not had conscience also of lust unless the law had said, Thou shalt not lust; Rom. 7:7
but sin, getting a point of attack by the commandment, wrought in me every lust; for without law sin was dead. Rom. 7:8
But *I* was alive without law once; but the commandment having come, sin revived, but *I* died. Rom. 7:9
And the commandment, which was for life, was found, as to me, itself to be unto death: Rom. 7:10
for sin, getting a point of attack by the commandment, deceived me, and by it slew me. Rom. 7:11
So that the law indeed is holy, and the commandment holy, and just, and good. Rom. 7:12
Did then that which is good become death to me? Far be the thought. But sin, that it might appear sin, working death to me by that which is good; in order that sin by the commandment might become exceeding sinful. Rom. 7:13
For we know that the law is spiritual: but *I* am fleshly, sold under sin. Rom. 7:14
But if what I do not will, this I practise, I consent to the law that it is right. Rom. 7:16
Now then it is no longer *I* that do it, but the sin that dwells in me. Rom. 7:17
For I do not practise the good that I will; but the evil I do not will, that I do. Rom. 7:19
But if what *I* do not will, this I practise, it is no longer *I* that do it, but the sin that dwells in me. Rom. 7:20
I find then the law upon *me* who will to practise what is right, that with *me* evil is there. Rom. 7:21
For I delight in the law of God according to the inward man: Rom. 7:22
but I see another law in my members, warring in opposition to the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity to the law of sin which exists in my members. Rom. 7:23
I thank God, through Jesus Christ our Lord. So then *I* *myself* with the mind serve God's law; but with the flesh sin's law. Rom. 7:25
For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has set me free from the law of sin and of death. Rom. 8:2
For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God, having sent his own Son, in likeness of flesh of sin, and for sin, has condemned sin in the flesh, Rom. 8:3
in order that the righteous requirement of the law should be fulfilled in us, who do not walk according to flesh but according to Spirit. Rom. 8:4
For they that are according to flesh mind the things of the flesh; and they that are according to Spirit, the things of the Spirit. Rom. 8:5
For the mind of the flesh is death; but the mind of the Spirit life and peace. Rom. 8:6
Because the mind of the flesh is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God; for neither indeed can it be: Rom. 8:7
But *ye* are not in flesh but in Spirit, if indeed God's Spirit dwell in you; but if any one has not the Spirit of Christ *he* is not of him: Rom. 8:9
but if Christ be in you, the body is dead on account of sin, but the Spirit life on account of righteousness. Rom. 8:10
But if the Spirit of him that has raised up Jesus from among the dead dwell in you, he that has raised up Christ from among the dead shall quicken your mortal bodies also on account of his Spirit which dwells in you. Rom. 8:11
So then, brethren, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live according to flesh; Rom. 8:12
for if ye live according to flesh, ye are about to die; but if, by the Spirit, ye put to death the deeds of the body, ye shall live: Rom. 8:13
for as many as are led by the Spirit of God, *these* are sons of God. Rom. 8:14
The Spirit itself bears witness with our spirit, that we are children of God. Rom. 8:16
For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the coming glory to be revealed to us. Rom. 8:18
For the anxious looking out of the creature expects the revelation of the sons of God: Rom. 8:19
for the creature has been made subject to vanity, not of its will, but by reason of him who has subjected the same, in hope Rom. 8:20
that the creature itself also shall be set free from the bondage of corruption into the liberty of the glory of the children of God. Rom. 8:21
For we know that the whole creation groans together and travails in pain together until now. Rom. 8:22
And not only that, but even *we* ourselves, who have the first-fruits of the Spirit, we also ourselves groan in ourselves, awaiting adoption, that is the redemption of our body. Rom. 8:23
And in like manner the Spirit joins also its help to our weakness; for we do not know what we should pray for as is fitting, but the Spirit itself makes intercession with groanings which cannot be uttered. Rom. 8:26
But he who searches the hearts knows what is the mind of the Spirit, because he intercedes for saints according to God. Rom. 8:27
Because whom he has foreknown, he has also predestinated to be conformed to the image of his Son, so that he should be the firstborn among many brethren. Rom. 8:29
who is he that condemns? It is Christ who has died, but rather has been also raised up; who is also at the right hand of God; who also intercedes for us. Rom. 8:34
Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? tribulation or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or danger, or sword? Rom. 8:35
According as it is written, For thy sake we are put to death all the day long; we have been reckoned as sheep for slaughter. Rom. 8:36
nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord. Rom. 8:39
I say the truth in Christ, I lie not, my conscience bearing witness with me in the Holy Spirit, Rom. 9:1
for I have wished, I myself, to be a curse from the Christ for my brethren, my kinsmen, according to flesh; Rom. 9:3
who are Israelites; whose is the adoption, and the glory, and the covenants, and the law-giving, and the service, and the promises; Rom. 9:4
whose are the fathers; and of whom, as according to flesh, is the Christ, who is over all, God blessed for ever. Amen. Rom. 9:5
Not however as though the word of God had failed; for not all are Israel which are of Israel; Rom. 9:6
That is, they that are the children of the flesh, these are not the children of God; but the children of the promise are reckoned as seed. Rom. 9:8
the children indeed being not yet born, or having done anything good or worthless (that the purpose of God according to election might abide, not of works, but of him that calls), Rom. 9:11
it was said to her, The greater shall serve the less: Rom. 9:12
What shall we say then? Is there unrighteousness with God? Far be the thought. Rom. 9:14
For the scripture says to Pharaoh, For this very thing I have raised thee up from amongst men, that I might thus shew in thee my power, and so that my name should be declared in all the earth. Rom. 9:17
Aye, but thou, O man, who art *thou* that answerest again to God? Shall the thing formed say to him that has formed it, Why hast thou made me thus? Rom. 9:20
Or has not the potter authority over the clay, out of the same lump to make one vessel to honour, and another to dishonour? Rom. 9:21
and that he might make known the riches of his glory upon vessels of mercy, which he had before prepared for glory, Rom. 9:23
us, whom he has also called, not only from amongst the Jews, but also from amongst the nations? Rom. 9:24
And it shall be, in the place where it was said to them, *Ye* are not my people, there shall they be called Sons of the living God. Rom. 9:26
But Esaias cries concerning Israel, Should the number of the children of Israel be as the sand of the sea, the remnant shall be saved: Rom. 9:27
for he is bringing the matter to an end, and cutting it short in righteousness; because a cutting short of the matter will the Lord accomplish upon the earth. Rom. 9:28
And according as Esaias said before, Unless the Lord of hosts had left us a seed, we had been as Sodom, and made like even as Gomorrha. Rom. 9:29
What then shall we say? That they of the nations, who did not follow after righteousness, have attained righteousness, but the righteousness that is on the principle of faith. Rom. 9:30
Wherefore? Because it was not on the principle of faith, but as of works. They have stumbled at the stumblingstone, Rom. 9:32
Brethren, the delight of my own heart and my supplication which I address to God for them is for salvation. Rom. 10:1
For they, being ignorant of God's righteousness, and seeking to establish their own righteousness, have not submitted to the righteousness of God. Rom. 10:3
For Christ is the end of law for righteousness to every one that believes. Rom. 10:4
For Moses lays down in writing the righteousness which is of the law, The man who has practised those things shall live by them. Rom. 10:5
But the righteousness of faith speaks thus: Do not say in thine heart, Who shall ascend to the heavens? that is, to bring Christ down; Rom. 10:6
or, Who shall descend into the abyss? that is, to bring up Christ from among the dead. Rom. 10:7
But what says it? The word is near thee, in thy mouth and in thy heart: that is, the word of faith, which we preach: Rom. 10:8
that if thou shalt confess with thy mouth Jesus as Lord, and shalt believe in thine heart that God has raised him from among the dead, thou shalt be saved. Rom. 10:9
For with the heart is believed to righteousness; and with the mouth confession made to salvation. Rom. 10:10
For the scripture says, No one believing on him shall be ashamed. Rom. 10:11
For there is no difference of Jew and Greek; for the same Lord of all is rich towards all that call upon him. Rom. 10:12
For every one whosoever, who shall call on the name of the Lord, shall be saved. Rom. 10:13
and how shall they preach unless they have been sent? according as it is written, How beautiful the feet of them that announce glad tidings of peace, of them that announce glad tidings of good things! Rom. 10:15
But they have not all obeyed the glad tidings. For Esaias says, Lord, who has believed our report? Rom. 10:16
So faith then is by a report, but the report by God's word. Rom. 10:17
But I say, Have they not heard? Yea, surely, Their voice has gone out into all the earth, and their words to the extremities of the habitable world. Rom. 10:18
But unto Israel he says, All the day long I have stretched out my hands unto a people disobeying and opposing. Rom. 10:21
I say then, Has God cast away his people? Far be the thought. For *I* also am an Israelite, of the seed of Abraham, of the tribe of Benjamin. Rom. 11:1
God has not cast away his people whom he foreknew. Know ye not what the scripture says in the history of Elias, how he pleads with God against Israel? Rom. 11:2
But what says the divine answer to him? I have left to myself seven thousand men, who have not bowed knee to Baal. Rom. 11:4
Thus, then, in the present time also there has been a remnant according to election of grace. Rom. 11:5
What is it then? What Israel seeks for, that he has not obtained; but the election has obtained, and the rest have been blinded, Rom. 11:7
I say then, Have they stumbled in order that they might fall? Far be the thought: but by their fall there is salvation to the nations to provoke them to jealousy. Rom. 11:11
But if their fall be the world's wealth, and their loss the wealth of the nations, how much rather their fulness? Rom. 11:12
For I speak to you, the nations, inasmuch as *I* am apostle of nations, I glorify my ministry; Rom. 11:13
For if their casting away be the world's reconciliation, what their reception but life from among the dead? Rom. 11:15
Now if the first-fruit be holy, the lump also; and if the root be holy, the branches also. Rom. 11:16
Now if some of the branches have been broken out, and *thou*, being a wild olive tree, hast been grafted in amongst them, and hast become a fellow-partaker of the root and of the fatness of the olive tree, Rom. 11:17
boast not against the branches; but if thou boast, it is not *thou* bearest the root, but the root thee. Rom. 11:18
Thou wilt say then, The branches have been broken out in order that *I* might be grafted in. Rom. 11:19
if God indeed has not spared the natural branches; lest it might be he spare not thee either. Rom. 11:21
Behold then the goodness and severity of God: upon them who have fallen, severity; upon thee goodness of God, if thou shalt abide in goodness, since otherwise *thou* also wilt be cut away. Rom. 11:22
For if *thou* hast been cut out of the olive tree wild by nature, and, contrary to nature, hast been grafted into the good olive tree, how much rather shall they, who are according to nature be grafted into their own olive tree? Rom. 11:24
For I do not wish you to be ignorant, brethren, of this mystery, that ye may not be wise in your own conceits, that blindness in part is happened to Israel, until the fulness of the nations be come in; Rom. 11:25
and so all Israel shall be saved. According as it is written, The deliverer shall come out of Zion; he shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob. Rom. 11:26
And this is the covenant from me to them, when I shall have taken away their sins. Rom. 11:27
As regards the glad tidings, they are enemies on your account; but as regards election, beloved on account of the fathers. Rom. 11:28
For the gifts and the calling of God are not subject to repentance. Rom. 11:29
For as indeed *ye* also once have not believed in God, but now have been objects of mercy through the unbelief of *these*; Rom. 11:30
O depth of riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God! how unsearchable his judgments, and untraceable his ways! Rom. 11:33
For who has known the mind of the Lord, or who has been his counsellor? Rom. 11:34
I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the compassions of God, to present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your intelligent service. Rom. 12:1
And be not conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is the good and acceptable and perfect will of God. Rom. 12:2
For I say, through the grace which has been given to me, to every one that is among you, not to have high thoughts above what he should think; but to think so as to be wise, as God has dealt to each a measure of faith. Rom. 12:3
For, as in one body we have many members, but all the members have not the same office; Rom. 12:4
thus we, being many, are one body in Christ, and each one members one of the other. Rom. 12:5
But having different gifts, according to the grace which has been given to us, whether it be prophecy, let us prophesy according to the proportion of faith; Rom. 12:6
as to brotherly love, kindly affectioned towards one another: as to honour, each taking the lead in paying it to the other: Rom. 12:10
as to diligent zealousness, not slothful; in spirit fervent; serving the Lord. Rom. 12:11
distributing to the necessities of the saints; given to hospitality. Rom. 12:13
Have the same respect one for another, not minding high things, but going along with the lowly: be not wise in your own eyes: Rom. 12:16
not avenging yourselves, beloved, but give place to wrath; for it is written, Vengeance belongs to me, *I* will recompense, saith the Lord. Rom. 12:19
Let every soul be subject to the authorities that are above him. For there is no authority except from God; and those that exist are set up by God. Rom. 13:1
So that he that sets himself in opposition to the authority resists the ordinance of God; and they who thus resist shall bring sentence of guilt on themselves. Rom. 13:2
For rulers are not a terror to a good work, but to an evil one. Dost thou desire then not to be afraid of the authority? practise what is good, and thou shalt have praise from it; Rom. 13:3
for it is God's minister to thee for good. But if thou practisest evil, fear; for it bears not the sword in vain; for it is God's minister, an avenger for wrath to him that does evil. Rom. 13:4
Owe no one anything, unless to love one another: for he that loves another has fulfilled the law. Rom. 13:8
Love works no ill to its neighbour; love therefore is the whole law. Rom. 13:10
This also, knowing the time, that it is already time that *we* should be aroused out of sleep; for now is our salvation nearer than when we believed. Rom. 13:11
The night is far spent, and the day is near; let us cast away therefore the works of darkness, and let us put on the armour of light. Rom. 13:12
As in the day, let us walk becomingly; not in rioting and drunkenness, not in chambering and lasciviousness, not in strife and emulation. Rom. 13:13
But put on the Lord Jesus Christ, and do not take forethought for the flesh to fulfil its lusts. Rom. 13:14
Now him that is weak in the faith receive, not to the determining of questions of reasoning. Rom. 14:1
One man is assured that he may eat all things; but the weak eats herbs. Rom. 14:2
Who art *thou* that judgest the servant of another? to his own master he stands or falls. And he shall be made to stand; for the Lord is able to make him stand. Rom. 14:4
He that regards the day, regards it to the Lord. And he that eats, eats to the Lord, for he gives God thanks; and he that does not eat, it is to the Lord he does not eat, and gives God thanks. Rom. 14:6
For both if we should live, it is to the Lord we live; and if we should die, it is to the Lord we die: both if we should live then, and if we should die, we are the Lord's. Rom. 14:8
But thou, why judgest thou thy brother? or again, thou, why dost thou make little of thy brother? for we shall all be placed before the judgment-seat of God. Rom. 14:10
For it is written, *I* live, saith the Lord, that to me shall bow every knee, and every tongue shall confess to God. Rom. 14:11
I know, and am persuaded in the Lord Jesus, that nothing is unclean of itself; except to him who reckons anything to be unclean, to that man it is unclean. Rom. 14:14
for the kingdom of God is not eating and drinking, but righteousness, and peace, and joy in the Holy Spirit. Rom. 14:17
For he that in this serves the Christ is acceptable to God and approved of men. Rom. 14:18
So then let us pursue the things which tend to peace, and things whereby one shall build up another. Rom. 14:19
For the sake of meat do not destroy the work of God. All things indeed are pure; but it is evil to that man who eats while stumbling in doing so. Rom. 14:20
But *we* ought, we that are strong, to bear the infirmities of the weak, and not to please ourselves. Rom. 15:1
For the Christ also did not please himself; but according as it is written, The reproaches of them that reproach thee have fallen upon me. Rom. 15:3
For as many things as have been written before have been written for our instruction, that through endurance and through encouragement of the scriptures we might have hope. Rom. 15:4
Now the God of endurance and of encouragement give to you to be like-minded one toward another, according to Christ Jesus; Rom. 15:5
that ye may with one accord, with one mouth, glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. Rom. 15:6
Wherefore receive ye one another, according as the Christ also has received you to the glory of God. Rom. 15:7
For I say that Jesus Christ became a minister of the circumcision for the truth of God, to confirm the promises of the fathers; Rom. 15:8
and that the nations should glorify God for mercy; according as it is written, For this cause I will confess to thee among the nations, and will sing to thy name. Rom. 15:9
And again, Praise the Lord, all ye nations, and let all the peoples laud him. Rom. 15:11
And again, Esaias says, There shall be the root of Jesse, and one that arises, to rule over the nations: in him shall the nations hope. Rom. 15:12
Now the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, so that ye should abound in hope by the power of the Holy Spirit. Rom. 15:13
But I have written to you the more boldly, brethren, in part, as putting you in mind, because of the grace given to me by God, Rom. 15:15
for me to be minister of Christ Jesus to the nations, carrying on as a sacrificial service the message of glad tidings of God, in order that the offering up of the nations might be acceptable, sanctified by the Holy Spirit. Rom. 15:16
I have therefore whereof to boast in Christ Jesus in the things which pertain to God. Rom. 15:17
For I will not dare to speak anything of the things which Christ has not wrought by me, for the obedience of the nations, by word and deed, Rom. 15:18
in the power of signs and wonders, in the power of the Spirit of God; so that I, from Jerusalem, and in a circuit round to Illyricum, have fully preached the glad tidings of the Christ; Rom. 15:19
and so aiming to announce the glad tidings, not where Christ has been named, that I might not build upon another's foundation; Rom. 15:20
but now I go to Jerusalem, ministering to the saints; Rom. 15:25
for Macedonia and Achaia have been well pleased to make a certain contribution for the poor of the saints who are in Jerusalem. Rom. 15:26
They have been well pleased indeed, and they are their debtors; for if the nations have participated in their spiritual things, they ought also in fleshly to minister to them. Rom. 15:27
But I know that, coming to you, I shall come in the fulness of the blessing of Christ. Rom. 15:29
But I beseech you, brethren, by our Lord Jesus Christ, and by the love of the Spirit, that ye strive together with me in prayers for me to God; Rom. 15:30
that I may be saved from those that do not believe in Judaea; and that my ministry which I have for Jerusalem may be acceptable to the saints; Rom. 15:31
And the God of peace be with you all. Amen. Rom. 15:33
But I commend to you Phoebe, our sister, who is minister of the assembly which is in Cenchrea; Rom. 16:1
that ye may receive her in the Lord worthily of saints, and that ye may assist her in whatever matter she has need of you; for *she* also has been a helper of many, and of myself. Rom. 16:2
(who for my life staked their own neck; to whom not *I* only am thankful, but also all the assemblies of the nations,) Rom. 16:4
and the assembly at their house. Salute Epaenetus, my beloved, who is the first-fruits of Asia for Christ. Rom. 16:5
Salute Andronicus and Junias, my kinsmen and fellow-captives, who are of note among the apostles; who were also in Christ before me. Rom. 16:7
Salute Amplias, my beloved in the Lord. Rom. 16:8
Salute Herodion, my kinsman. Salute those who belong to Narcissus, who are in the Lord. Rom. 16:11
Salute Tryphaena and Tryphosa, who labour in the Lord. Salute Persis, the beloved, who has laboured much in the Lord. Rom. 16:12
Salute Rufus, chosen in the Lord; and his mother and mine. Rom. 16:13
Salute Asyncritus, Phlegon, Hermes, Patrobas, Hermas, and the brethren with them. Rom. 16:14
Salute Philologus, and Julia, Nereus, and his sister, and Olympas, and all the saints with them. Rom. 16:15
Salute one another with a holy kiss. All the assemblies of Christ salute you. Rom. 16:16
But I beseech you, brethren, to consider those who create divisions and occasions of falling, contrary to the doctrine which *ye* have learnt, and turn away from them. Rom. 16:17
For such serve not our Lord Christ, but their own belly, and by good words and fair speeches deceive the hearts of the unsuspecting. Rom. 16:18
But the God of peace shall bruise Satan under your feet shortly. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you. Rom. 16:20
I Tertius, who have written this epistle, salute you in the Lord. Rom. 16:22
Gaius, my host and of the whole assembly, salutes you. Erastus, the steward of the city, salutes you, and the brother Quartus. Rom. 16:23
The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen. Rom. 16:24
Now to him that is able to establish you, according to my glad tidings and the preaching of Jesus Christ, according to the revelation of the mystery, as to which silence has been kept in the times of the ages, Rom. 16:25
but which has now been made manifest, and by prophetic scriptures, according to commandment of the eternal God, made known for obedience of faith to all the nations -- Rom. 16:26
the only wise God, through Jesus Christ, to whom be glory for ever. Amen. Rom. 16:27
Paul, a called apostle of Jesus Christ, by God's will, and Sosthenes the brother, 1 Cor. 1:1
to the assembly of God which is in Corinth, to those sanctified in Christ Jesus, called saints, with all that in every place call on the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, both theirs and ours: 1 Cor. 1:2
Grace to you and peace from God our Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ. 1 Cor. 1:3
I thank my God always about you, in respect of the grace of God given to you in Christ Jesus; 1 Cor. 1:4
(according as the testimony of the Christ has been confirmed in you,) 1 Cor. 1:6
so that ye come short in no gift, awaiting the revelation of our Lord Jesus Christ; 1 Cor. 1:7
who shall also confirm you to the end, unimpeachable in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ. 1 Cor. 1:8
God is faithful, by whom ye have been called into the fellowship of his Son Jesus Christ our Lord. 1 Cor. 1:9
Now I exhort you, brethren, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that ye all say the same thing, and that there be not among you divisions; but that ye be perfectly united in the same mind and in the same opinion. 1 Cor. 1:10
For it has been shewn to me concerning you, my brethren, by those of the house of Chloe, that there are strifes among you. 1 Cor. 1:11
Is the Christ divided? has Paul been crucified for you? or have ye been baptised unto the name of Paul? 1 Cor. 1:13
Yes, I baptised also the house of Stephanas; for the rest I know not if I have baptised any other. 1 Cor. 1:16
For Christ has not sent me to baptise, but to preach glad tidings; not in wisdom of word, that the cross of the Christ may not be made vain. 1 Cor. 1:17
For the word of the cross is to them that perish foolishness, but to us that are saved it is God's power. 1 Cor. 1:18
For it is written, I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and set aside the understanding of the understanding ones. 1 Cor. 1:19
Where is the wise? where scribe? where disputer of this world? has not God made foolish the wisdom of the world? 1 Cor. 1:20
For since, in the wisdom of God, the world by wisdom has not known God, God has been pleased by the foolishness of the preaching to save those that believe. 1 Cor. 1:21
Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men, and the weakness of God is stronger than men. 1 Cor. 1:25
But God has chosen the foolish things of the world, that he may put to shame the wise; and God has chosen the weak things of the world, that he may put to shame the strong things; 1 Cor. 1:27
and the ignoble things of the world, and the despised, has God chosen, and things that are not, that he may annul the things that are; 1 Cor. 1:28
that according as it is written, He that boasts, let him boast in the Lord. 1 Cor. 1:31
And *I*, when I came to you, brethren, came not in excellency of word, or wisdom, announcing to you the testimony of God. 1 Cor. 2:1
and my word and my preaching, not in persuasive words of wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power; 1 Cor. 2:4
But we speak wisdom among the perfect; but wisdom not of this world, nor of the rulers of this world, who come to nought. 1 Cor. 2:6
But we speak God's wisdom in a mystery, that hidden wisdom which God had predetermined before the ages for our glory: 1 Cor. 2:7
which none of the princes of this age knew, (for had they known, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory;) 1 Cor. 2:8
but God has revealed to us by his Spirit; for the Spirit searches all things, even the depths of God. 1 Cor. 2:10
For who of men hath known the things of a man except the spirit of the man which is in him? thus also the things of God knows no one except the Spirit of God. 1 Cor. 2:11
But *we* have received, not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit which is of God, that we may know the things which have been freely given to us of God: 1 Cor. 2:12
which also we speak, not in words taught by human wisdom, but in those taught by the Spirit, communicating spiritual things by spiritual means. 1 Cor. 2:13
But the natural man does not receive the things of the Spirit of God, for they are folly to him; and he cannot know them because they are spiritually discerned; 1 Cor. 2:14
but the spiritual discerns all things, and *he* is discerned of no one. 1 Cor. 2:15
For who has known the mind of the Lord, who shall instruct him? But *we* have the mind of Christ. 1 Cor. 2:16
Who then is Apollos, and who Paul? Ministering servants, through whom ye have believed, and as the Lord has given to each. 1 Cor. 3:5
*I* have planted; Apollos watered; but God has given the increase. 1 Cor. 3:6
So that neither the planter is anything, nor the waterer; but God the giver of the increase. 1 Cor. 3:7
But the planter and the waterer are one; but each shall receive his own reward according to his own labour. 1 Cor. 3:8
According to the grace of God which has been given to me, as a wise architect, I have laid the foundation, but another builds upon it. But let each see how he builds upon it. 1 Cor. 3:10
the work of each shall be made manifest; for the day shall declare it, because it is revealed in fire; and the fire shall try the work of each what it is. 1 Cor. 3:13
If the work of any one which he has built upon the foundation shall abide, he shall receive a reward. 1 Cor. 3:14
If the work of any one shall be consumed, he shall suffer loss, but *he* shall be saved, but so as through the fire. 1 Cor. 3:15
Do ye not know that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwells in you? 1 Cor. 3:16
If any one corrupt the temple of God, *him* shall God destroy; for the temple of God is holy, and such are *ye*. 1 Cor. 3:17
For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God; for it is written, He who takes the wise in their craftiness. 1 Cor. 3:19
And again, The Lord knows the reasonings of the wise that they are vain. 1 Cor. 3:20
Whether Paul, or Apollos, or Cephas, or the world, or life, or death, or things present, or things coming, all are yours; 1 Cor. 3:22
Let a man so account of us as servants of Christ, and stewards of the mysteries of God. 1 Cor. 4:1
But for me it is the very smallest matter that I be examined of you or of man's day. Nor do I even examine myself. 1 Cor. 4:3
For I am conscious of nothing in myself; but I am not justified by this: but he that examines me is the Lord. 1 Cor. 4:4
So that do not judge anything before the time, until the Lord shall come, who shall also both bring to light the hidden things of darkness, and shall make manifest the counsels of hearts; and then shall each have his praise from God. 1 Cor. 4:5
Now these things, brethren, I have transferred, in their application, to myself and Apollos, for your sakes, that ye may learn in us the lesson of not letting your thoughts go above what is written, that ye may not be puffed up one for such a one against another. 1 Cor. 4:6
For I think that God has set us the apostles for the last, as appointed to death. For we have become a spectacle to the world, both to angels and men. 1 Cor. 4:9
To the present hour we both hunger and thirst, and are in nakedness, and buffeted, and wander without a home, 1 Cor. 4:11
insulted, we entreat: we are become as the offscouring of the world, the refuse of all, until now. 1 Cor. 4:13
For if ye should have ten thousand instructors in Christ, yet not many fathers; for in Christ Jesus *I* have begotten you through the glad tidings. 1 Cor. 4:15
For this reason I have sent to you Timotheus, who is my beloved and faithful child in the Lord, who shall put you in mind of my ways as they are in Christ, according as I teach everywhere in every assembly. 1 Cor. 4:17
but I will come quickly to you, if the Lord will; and I will know, not the word of those that are puffed up, but the power. 1 Cor. 4:19
For the kingdom of God is not in word, but in power. 1 Cor. 4:20
It is universally reported that there is fornication among you, and such fornication as is not even among the nations, so that one should have his father's wife. 1 Cor. 5:1
And *ye* are puffed up, and ye have not rather mourned, in order that he that has done this deed might be taken away out of the midst of you. 1 Cor. 5:2
to deliver, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ (ye and my spirit being gathered together, with the power of our Lord Jesus Christ), him that has so wrought this: 1 Cor. 5:4
to deliver him, I say, being such, to Satan for destruction of the flesh, that the spirit may be saved in the day of the Lord Jesus. 1 Cor. 5:5
Your boasting is not good. Do ye not know that a little leaven leavens the whole lump? 1 Cor. 5:6
Purge out the old leaven, that ye may be a new lump, according as ye are unleavened. For also our passover, Christ, has been sacrificed; 1 Cor. 5:7
so that let us celebrate the feast, not with old leaven, nor with leaven of malice and wickedness, but with unleavened bread of sincerity and truth. 1 Cor. 5:8
I have written to you in the epistle not to mix with fornicators; 1 Cor. 5:9
not altogether with the fornicators of this world, or with the avaricious and rapacious, or idolaters, since then ye should go out of the world. 1 Cor. 5:10
But those without God judges. Remove the wicked person from amongst yourselves. 1 Cor. 5:13
Dare any one of you, having a matter against another, prosecute his suit before the unjust, and not before the saints? 1 Cor. 6:1
* Do ye not then know that the saints shall judge the world? and if the world is judged by you, are ye unworthy of the smallest judgments? 1 Cor. 6:2
If then ye have judgments as to things of this life, set those to judge who are little esteemed in the assembly. 1 Cor. 6:4
Do ye not know that unrighteous persons shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not err: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor those who make women of themselves, nor who abuse themselves with men, 1 Cor. 6:9
nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor abusive persons, nor the rapacious, shall inherit the kingdom of God. 1 Cor. 6:10
And these things were some of you; but ye have been washed, but ye have been sanctified, but ye have been justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God. 1 Cor. 6:11
All things are lawful to me, but all things do not profit; all things are lawful to me, but *I* will not be brought under the power of any. 1 Cor. 6:12
Meats for the belly, and the belly for meats; but God will bring to nothing both it and them: but the body is not for fornication, but for the Lord, and the Lord for the body. 1 Cor. 6:13
And God has both raised up the Lord, and will raise us up from among the dead by his power. 1 Cor. 6:14
Do ye not know that your bodies are members of Christ? Shall I then, taking the members of the Christ, make them members of a harlot? Far be the thought. 1 Cor. 6:15
Do ye not know that he that is joined to the harlot is one body? for the two, he says, shall be one flesh. 1 Cor. 6:16
But he that is joined to the Lord is one Spirit. 1 Cor. 6:17
Flee fornication. Every sin which a man may practise is without the body, but he that commits fornication sins against his own body. 1 Cor. 6:18
Do ye not know that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit which is in you, which ye have of God; and ye are not your own? 1 Cor. 6:19
But concerning the things of which ye have written to me: It is good for a man not to touch a woman; 1 Cor. 7:1
Let the husband render her due to the wife, and in like manner the wife to the husband. 1 Cor. 7:3
The wife has not authority over her own body, but the husband: in like manner also the husband has not authority over his own body, but the wife. 1 Cor. 7:4
But I say to the unmarried and to the widows, It is good for them that they remain even as I. 1 Cor. 7:8
But to the married I enjoin, not *I*, but the Lord, Let not wife be separated from husband; 1 Cor. 7:10
But as to the rest, *I* say, not the Lord, If any brother have an unbelieving wife, and *she* consent to dwell with him, let him not leave her. 1 Cor. 7:12
For the unbelieving husband is sanctified in the wife, and the unbelieving wife is sanctified in the brother; since otherwise indeed your children are unclean, but now they are holy. 1 Cor. 7:14
But if the unbeliever go away, let them go away; a brother or a sister is not bound in such cases, but God has called us in peace. 1 Cor. 7:15
However, as the Lord has divided to each, as God has called each, so let him walk; and thus I ordain in all the assemblies. 1 Cor. 7:17
For the bondman that is called in the Lord is the Lord's freedman; in like manner also the freeman being called is Christ's bondman. 1 Cor. 7:22
Ye have been bought with a price; do not be the bondmen of men. 1 Cor. 7:23
But concerning virgins, I have no commandment of the Lord; but I give my opinion, as having received mercy of the Lord to be faithful. 1 Cor. 7:25
I think then that this is good, on account of the present necessity, that it is good for a man to remain so as he is. 1 Cor. 7:26
But if thou shouldest also marry, thou hast not sinned; and if the virgin marry, they have not sinned: but such shall have tribulation in the flesh; but I spare you. 1 Cor. 7:28
But this I say, brethren, the time is straitened. For the rest, that they who have wives, be as not having any: 1 Cor. 7:29
and they that use the world, as not disposing of it as their own; for the fashion of this world passes. 1 Cor. 7:31
But I wish you to be without care. The unmarried cares for the things of the Lord, how he shall please the Lord; 1 Cor. 7:32
but he that has married cares for the things of the world, how he shall please his wife. 1 Cor. 7:33
There is a difference between the wife and the virgin. The unmarried cares for the things of the Lord, that she may be holy both in body and spirit; but she that has married cares for the things of the world, how she shall please her husband. 1 Cor. 7:34
But I say this for your own profit; not that I may set a snare before you, but for what is seemly, and waiting on the Lord without distraction. 1 Cor. 7:35
But if any one think that he behaves unseemly to his virginity, if he be beyond the flower of his age, and so it must be, let him do what he will, he does not sin: let them marry. 1 Cor. 7:36
A wife is bound for whatever time her husband lives; but if the husband be fallen asleep, she is free to be married to whom she will, only in the Lord. 1 Cor. 7:39
-- concerning then the eating of things sacrificed to idols, we know that an idol is nothing in the world, and that there is no other God save one. 1 Cor. 8:4
yet to us there is one God, the Father, of whom all things, and *we* for him; and one Lord, Jesus Christ, by whom are all things, and *we* by him. 1 Cor. 8:6
But knowledge is not in all: but some, with conscience of the idol, until now eat as of a thing sacrificed to idols; and their conscience, being weak, is defiled. 1 Cor. 8:7
But see lest anywise this your right to eat itself be a stumbling-block to the weak. 1 Cor. 8:9
For if any one see thee, who hast knowledge, sitting at table in an idol-house, shall not his conscience, he being weak, be emboldened to eat the things sacrificed to the idol? 1 Cor. 8:10
and the weak one, the brother for whose sake Christ died, will perish through thy knowledge. 1 Cor. 8:11
Now, thus sinning against the brethren, and wounding their weak conscience, ye sin against Christ. 1 Cor. 8:12
Am I not free? am I not an apostle? have I not seen Jesus our Lord? are not *ye* my work in the Lord? 1 Cor. 9:1
If I am not an apostle to others, yet at any rate I am to you: for the seal of mine apostleship are *ye* in the Lord. 1 Cor. 9:2
have we not a right to take round a sister as wife, as also the other apostles, and the brethren of the Lord, and Cephas? 1 Cor. 9:5
Who ever carries on war at his own charges? who plants a vineyard and does not eat of its fruit? or who herds a flock and does not eat of the milk of the flock? 1 Cor. 9:7
Do I speak these things as a man, or does not the law also say these things? 1 Cor. 9:8
For in the law of Moses it is written, Thou shalt not muzzle the ox that is treading out corn. Is God occupied about the oxen, 1 Cor. 9:9
or does he say it altogether for our sakes? For for our sakes it has been written, that the plougher should plough in hope, and he that treads out corn, in hope of partaking it. 1 Cor. 9:10
If others partake of this right over you, should not rather *we*? But we have not used this right, but we bear all things, that we may put no hindrance in the way of the glad tidings of the Christ. 1 Cor. 9:12
Do ye not know that they who labour at sacred things eat of the offerings offered in the temple; they that attend at the altar partake with the altar? 1 Cor. 9:13
So also the Lord has ordained to those that announce the glad tidings to live of the glad tidings. 1 Cor. 9:14
For if I announce the glad tidings, I have nothing to boast of; for a necessity is laid upon me; for it is woe to me if I should not announce the glad tidings. 1 Cor. 9:16
What is the reward then that I have? That in announcing the glad tidings I make the glad tidings costless to others, so as not to have made use, as belonging to me, of my right in announcing the glad tidings. 1 Cor. 9:18
For being free from all, I have made myself bondman to all, that I might gain the most possible. 1 Cor. 9:19
And I became to the Jews as a Jew, in order that I might gain the Jews: to those under law, as under law, not being myself under law, in order that I might gain those under law: 1 Cor. 9:20
I became to the weak, as weak, in order that I might gain the weak. To all I have become all things, in order that at all events I might save some. 1 Cor. 9:22
And I do all things for the sake of the glad tidings, that I may be fellow-partaker with them. 1 Cor. 9:23
Know ye not that they who run in the race-course run all, but one receives the prize? Thus run in order that ye may obtain. 1 Cor. 9:24
*I* therefore thus run, as not uncertainly; so I combat, as not beating the air. 1 Cor. 9:26
For I would not have you ignorant, brethren, that all our fathers were under the cloud, and all passed through the sea; 1 Cor. 10:1
and all were baptised unto Moses in the cloud and in the sea; 1 Cor. 10:2
and all ate the same spiritual food, 1 Cor. 10:3
and all drank the same spiritual drink, for they drank of a spiritual rock which followed them: (now the rock was the Christ;) 1 Cor. 10:4
yet God was not pleased with the most of them, for they were strewed in the desert. 1 Cor. 10:5
Neither be ye idolaters, as some of them; as it is written, The people sat down to eat and to drink, and rose up to play. 1 Cor. 10:7
Neither let us tempt the Christ, as some of them tempted, and perished by serpents. 1 Cor. 10:9
Neither murmur ye, as some of them murmured, and perished by the destroyer. 1 Cor. 10:10
Now all these things happened to them as types, and have been written for our admonition, upon whom the ends of the ages are come. 1 Cor. 10:11
No temptation has taken you but such as is according to man's nature; and God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above what ye are able to bear, but will with the temptation make the issue also, so that ye should be able to bear it. 1 Cor. 10:13
The cup of blessing which we bless, is it not the communion of the blood of the Christ? The bread which we break, is it not the communion of the body of the Christ? 1 Cor. 10:16
See Israel according to flesh: are not they who eat the sacrifices in communion with the altar? 1 Cor. 10:18
But that what the nations sacrifice they sacrifice to demons, and not to God. Now I do not wish you to be in communion with demons. 1 Cor. 10:20
Ye cannot drink the Lord's cup, and the cup of demons: ye cannot partake of the Lord's table, and of the table of demons. 1 Cor. 10:21
Do we provoke the Lord to jealousy? are we stronger than he? 1 Cor. 10:22
Let no one seek his own advantage, but that of the other. 1 Cor. 10:24
Everything sold in the shambles eat, making no inquiry for conscience sake. 1 Cor. 10:25
For the earth is the Lord's and its fulness. 1 Cor. 10:26
But if any one of the unbelievers invite you, and ye are minded to go, all that is set before you eat, making no inquiry for conscience sake. 1 Cor. 10:27
but conscience, I mean, not thine own, but that of the other: for why is my liberty judged by another conscience? 1 Cor. 10:29
Give no occasion to stumbling, whether to Jews, or Greeks, or the assembly of God. 1 Cor. 10:32
Even as *I* also please all in all things; not seeking my own profit, but that of the many, that they may be saved. 1 Cor. 10:33
Now I praise you, that in all things ye are mindful of me; and that as I have directed you, ye keep the directions. 1 Cor. 11:2
But I wish you to know that the Christ is the head of every man, but woman's head is the man, and the Christ's head God. 1 Cor. 11:3
But every woman praying or prophesying with her head uncovered puts her own head to shame; for it is one and the same as a shaved woman. 1 Cor. 11:5
For also man was not created for the sake of the woman, but woman for the sake of the man. 1 Cor. 11:9
Therefore ought the woman to have authority on her head, on account of the angels. 1 Cor. 11:10
However, neither is woman without man, nor man without woman, in the Lord. 1 Cor. 11:11
For as the woman is of the man, so also is the man by the woman, but all things of God. 1 Cor. 11:12
But woman, if she have long hair, it is glory to her; for the long hair is given to her in lieu of a veil. 1 Cor. 11:15
But if any one think to be contentious, *we* have no such custom, nor the assemblies of God. 1 Cor. 11:16
But in prescribing to you on this which I now enter on, I do not praise, namely, that ye come together, not for the better, but for the worse. 1 Cor. 11:17
For there must also be sects among you, that the approved may become manifest among you. 1 Cor. 11:19
When ye come therefore together into one place, it is not to eat the Lord's supper. 1 Cor. 11:20
Have ye not then houses for eating and drinking? or do ye despise the assembly of God, and put to shame them who have not? What shall I say to you? shall I praise you? In this point I do not praise. 1 Cor. 11:22
For *I* received from the Lord, that which I also delivered to you, that the Lord Jesus, in the night in which he was delivered up, took bread, 1 Cor. 11:23
In like manner also the cup, after having supped, saying, This cup is the new covenant in my blood: this do, as often as ye shall drink it, in remembrance of me. 1 Cor. 11:25
For as often as ye shall eat this bread, and drink the cup, ye announce the death of the Lord, until he come. 1 Cor. 11:26
So that whosoever shall eat the bread, or drink the cup of the Lord, unworthily, shall be guilty in respect of the body and of the blood of the Lord. 1 Cor. 11:27
But let a man prove himself, and thus eat of the bread, and drink of the cup. 1 Cor. 11:28
For the eater and drinker eats and drinks judgment to himself, not distinguishing the body. 1 Cor. 11:29
But being judged, we are disciplined of the Lord, that we may not be condemned with the world. 1 Cor. 11:32
If any one be hungry, let him eat at home, that ye may not come together for judgment. But the other things, whenever I come, I will set in order. 1 Cor. 11:34
Ye know that when ye were of the nations ye were led away to dumb idols, in whatever way ye might be led. 1 Cor. 12:2
I give you therefore to know, that no one, speaking in the power of the Spirit of God, says, Curse on Jesus; and no one can say, Lord Jesus, unless in the power of the Holy Spirit. 1 Cor. 12:3
But there are distinctions of gifts, but the same Spirit; 1 Cor. 12:4
and there are distinctions of services, and the same Lord; 1 Cor. 12:5
and there are distinctions of operations, but the same God who operates all things in all. 1 Cor. 12:6
But to each the manifestation of the Spirit is given for profit. 1 Cor. 12:7
For to one, by the Spirit, is given the word of wisdom; and to another the word of knowledge, according to the same Spirit; 1 Cor. 12:8
and to a different one faith, in the power of the same Spirit; and to another gifts of healing in the power of the same Spirit; 1 Cor. 12:9
But all these things operates the one and the same Spirit, dividing to each in particular according as he pleases. 1 Cor. 12:11
For even as the body is one and has many members, but all the members of the body, being many, are one body, so also is the Christ. 1 Cor. 12:12
For also in the power of one Spirit *we* have all been baptised into one body, whether Jews or Greeks, whether bondmen or free, and have all been given to drink of one Spirit. 1 Cor. 12:13
For also the body is not one member but many. 1 Cor. 12:14
If the foot say, Because I am not a hand I am not of the body, is it on account of this not indeed of the body? 1 Cor. 12:15
And if the ear say, Because I am not an eye I am not of the body, is it on account of this not indeed of the body? 1 Cor. 12:16
If the whole body were an eye, where the hearing? if all hearing, where the smelling? 1 Cor. 12:17
But now God has set the members, each one of them in the body, according as it has pleased him. 1 Cor. 12:18
But if all were one member, where the body? 1 Cor. 12:19
But now the members are many, and the body one. 1 Cor. 12:20
The eye cannot say to the hand, I have not need of thee; or again, the head to the feet, I have not need of you. 1 Cor. 12:21
But much rather, the members of the body which seem to be weaker are necessary; 1 Cor. 12:22
and those parts of the body which we esteem to be the more void of honour, these we clothe with more abundant honour; and our uncomely parts have more abundant comeliness; 1 Cor. 12:23
but our comely parts have not need. But God has tempered the body together, having given more abundant honour to the part that lacked; 1 Cor. 12:24
that there might be no division in the body, but that the members might have the same concern one for another. 1 Cor. 12:25
And if one member suffer, all the members suffer with it; and if one member be glorified, all the members rejoice with it. 1 Cor. 12:26
And God has set certain in the assembly: first, apostles; secondly, prophets; thirdly, teachers; then miraculous powers; then gifts of healings; helps; governments; kinds of tongues. 1 Cor. 12:28
But desire earnestly the greater gifts, and yet shew I unto you a way of more surpassing excellence. 1 Cor. 12:31
If I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am become sounding brass or a clanging cymbal. 1 Cor. 13:1
does not rejoice at iniquity but rejoices with the truth, 1 Cor. 13:6
When I was a child, I spoke as a child, I felt as a child, I reasoned as a child; when I became a man, I had done with what belonged to the child. 1 Cor. 13:11
And now abide faith, hope, love; these three things; and the greater of these is love. 1 Cor. 13:13
He that speaks with a tongue edifies himself; but he that prophesies edifies the assembly. 1 Cor. 14:4
Now I desire that ye should all speak with tongues, but rather that ye should prophesy. But greater is he that prophesies than he that speaks with tongues, unless he interpret, that the assembly may receive edification. 1 Cor. 14:5
Even lifeless things giving a sound, whether pipe or harp, if they give not distinction to the sounds, how shall it be known what is piped or harped? 1 Cor. 14:7
For also, if the trumpet give an uncertain sound, who shall prepare himself for war? 1 Cor. 14:8
Thus also *ye* with the tongue, unless ye give a distinct speech, how shall it be known what is spoken? for ye will be speaking to the air. 1 Cor. 14:9
There are, it may be, so many kinds of voices in the world, and none of undistinguishable sound. 1 Cor. 14:10
If therefore I do not know the power of the sound, I shall be to him that speaks a barbarian, and he that speaks a barbarian for me. 1 Cor. 14:11
Thus *ye* also, since ye are desirous of spirits, seek that ye may abound for the edification of the assembly. 1 Cor. 14:12
What is it then? I will pray with the spirit, but I will pray also with the understanding; I will sing with the spirit, but I will sing also with the understanding. 1 Cor. 14:15
Since otherwise, if thou blessest with the spirit, how shall he who fills the place of the simple Christian say Amen, at thy giving of thanks, since he does not know what thou sayest? 1 Cor. 14:16
For *thou* indeed givest thanks well, but the other is not edified. 1 Cor. 14:17
but in the assembly I desire to speak five words with my understanding, that I may instruct others also, rather than ten thousand words in a tongue. 1 Cor. 14:19
It is written in the law, By people of other tongues, and by strange lips, will I speak to this people; and neither thus will they hear me, saith the Lord. 1 Cor. 14:21
If therefore the whole assembly come together in one place, and all speak with tongues, and simple persons enter in, or unbelievers, will not they say ye are mad? 1 Cor. 14:23
the secrets of his heart are manifested; and thus, falling upon his face, he will do homage to God, reporting that God is indeed amongst you. 1 Cor. 14:25
If any one speak with a tongue, let it be two, or at the most three, and separately, and let one interpret; 1 Cor. 14:27
but if there be no interpreter, let him be silent in the assembly, and let him speak to himself and to God. 1 Cor. 14:28
And let two or three prophets speak, and let the others judge. 1 Cor. 14:29
But if there be a revelation to another sitting there, let the first be silent. 1 Cor. 14:30
For God is not a God of disorder but of peace, as in all the assemblies of the saints. 1 Cor. 14:33
Let your women be silent in the assemblies, for it is not permitted to them to speak; but to be in subjection, as the law also says. 1 Cor. 14:34
Did the word of God go out from you, or did it come to you only? 1 Cor. 14:36
If any one thinks himself to be a prophet or spiritual, let him recognise the things that I write to you, that it is the Lord's commandment. 1 Cor. 14:37
So that, brethren, desire to prophesy, and do not forbid the speaking with tongues. 1 Cor. 14:39
But I make known to you, brethren, the glad tidings which I announced to you, which also ye received, in which also ye stand, 1 Cor. 15:1
by which also ye are saved, (if ye hold fast the word which I announced to you as the glad tidings,) unless indeed ye have believed in vain. 1 Cor. 15:2
For I delivered to you, in the first place, what also I had received, that Christ died for our sins, according to the scriptures; 1 Cor. 15:3
and that he was buried; and that he was raised the third day, according to the scriptures; 1 Cor. 15:4
and that he appeared to Cephas, then to the twelve. 1 Cor. 15:5
Then he appeared to above five hundred brethren at once, of whom the most remain until now, but some also have fallen asleep. 1 Cor. 15:6
Then he appeared to James; then to all the apostles; 1 Cor. 15:7
For *I* am the least of the apostles, who am not fit to be called apostle, because I have persecuted the assembly of God. 1 Cor. 15:9
But by God's grace I am what I am; and his grace, which was towards me, has not been vain; but I have laboured more abundantly than they all, but not *I*, but the grace of God which was with me. 1 Cor. 15:10
Now if Christ is preached that he is raised from among the dead, how say some among you that there is not a resurrection of those that are dead? 1 Cor. 15:12
And we are found also false witnesses of God; for we have witnessed concerning God that he raised the Christ, whom he has not raised if indeed those that are dead are not raised. 1 Cor. 15:15
If in this life only we have hope in Christ, we are the most miserable of all men. 1 Cor. 15:19
(But now Christ is raised from among the dead, first-fruits of those fallen asleep. 1 Cor. 15:20
For as in the Adam all die, thus also in the Christ all shall be made alive. 1 Cor. 15:22
But each in his own rank: the first-fruits, Christ; then those that are the Christ's at his coming. 1 Cor. 15:23
Then the end, when he gives up the kingdom to him who is God and Father; when he shall have annulled all rule and all authority and power. 1 Cor. 15:24
The last enemy that is annulled is death. 1 Cor. 15:26
But when all things shall have been brought into subjection to him, then the Son also himself shall be placed in subjection to him who put all things in subjection to him, that God may be all in all.) 1 Cor. 15:28
Since what shall the baptised for the dead do if those that are dead rise not at all? why also are they baptised for them? 1 Cor. 15:29
If, to speak after the manner of man, I have fought with beasts in Ephesus, what is the profit to me if those that are dead do not rise? let us eat and drink; for to-morrow we die. 1 Cor. 15:32
But some one will say, How are the dead raised? and with what body do they come? 1 Cor. 15:35
And what thou sowest, thou sowest not the body that shall be, but a bare grain: it may be of wheat, or some one of the rest: 1 Cor. 15:37
and God gives to it a body as he has pleased, and to each of the seeds its own body. 1 Cor. 15:38
Every flesh is not the same flesh, but one is of men, and another flesh of beasts, and another flesh of birds, and another of fishes. 1 Cor. 15:39
And there are heavenly bodies, and earthly bodies: but different is the glory of the heavenly, different that of the earthly: 1 Cor. 15:40
one the sun's glory, and another the moon's glory, and another the stars' glory; for star differs from star in glory. 1 Cor. 15:41
Thus also is the resurrection of the dead. It is sown in corruption, it is raised in incorruptibility. 1 Cor. 15:42
Thus also it is written, The first man Adam became a living soul; the last Adam a quickening spirit. 1 Cor. 15:45
the first man out of the earth, made of dust; the second man, out of heaven. 1 Cor. 15:47
Such as he made of dust, such also those made of dust; and such as the heavenly one, such also the heavenly ones. 1 Cor. 15:48
And as we have borne the image of the one made of dust, we shall bear also the image of the heavenly one. 1 Cor. 15:49
in an instant, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet; for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and *we* shall be changed. 1 Cor. 15:52
But when this corruptible shall have put on incorruptibility, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall come to pass the word written: Death has been swallowed up in victory. 1 Cor. 15:54
Now the sting of death is sin, and the power of sin the law; 1 Cor. 15:56
but thanks to God, who gives us the victory by our Lord Jesus Christ. 1 Cor. 15:57
So then, my beloved brethren, be firm, immovable, abounding always in the work of the Lord, knowing that your toil is not in vain in the Lord. 1 Cor. 15:58
Now concerning the collection for the saints, as I directed the assemblies of Galatia, so do *ye* do also. 1 Cor. 16:1
On the first of the week let each of you put by at home, laying up in whatever degree he may have prospered, that there may be no collections when I come. 1 Cor. 16:2
For I will not see you now in passing, for I hope to remain a certain time with you, if the Lord permit. 1 Cor. 16:7
For a great door is opened to me and an effectual one, and the adversaries many. 1 Cor. 16:9
Now if Timotheus come, see that he may be with you without fear; for he works the work of the Lord, even as I. 1 Cor. 16:10
Let not therefore any one despise him; but set him forward in peace, that he may come to me; for I expect him with the brethren. 1 Cor. 16:11
Now concerning the brother Apollos, I begged him much that he would go to you with the brethren; but it was not at all his will to go now; but he will come when he shall have good opportunity. 1 Cor. 16:12
Be vigilant; stand fast in the faith; quit yourselves like men; be strong. 1 Cor. 16:13
But I beseech you, brethren, (ye know the house of Stephanas, that it is the first-fruits of Achaia, and they have devoted themselves to the saints for service,) 1 Cor. 16:15
that *ye* should also be subject to such, and to every one joined in the work and labouring. 1 Cor. 16:16
But I rejoice in the coming of Stephanas and Fortunatus and Achaicus; because *they* have supplied what was lacking on your part. 1 Cor. 16:17
The assemblies of Asia salute you. Aquila and Priscilla, with the assembly in their house, salute you much in the Lord. 1 Cor. 16:19
All the brethren salute you. Salute one another with a holy kiss. 1 Cor. 16:20
The salutation of me Paul with my own hand. 1 Cor. 16:21
If any one love not the Lord Jesus Christ let him be Anathema Maranatha. 1 Cor. 16:22
The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with you. 1 Cor. 16:23
Paul, apostle of Jesus Christ by God's will, and the brother Timotheus, to the assembly of God which is in Corinth, with all the saints who are in the whole of Achaia. 2 Cor. 1:1
Grace to you, and peace from God our Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ. 2 Cor. 1:2
Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassions, and God of all encouragement; 2 Cor. 1:3
who encourages us in all our tribulation, that we may be able to encourage those who are in any tribulation whatever, through the encouragement with which we ourselves are encouraged of God. 2 Cor. 1:4
Because, even as the sufferings of the Christ abound towards us, so through the Christ does our encouragement also abound. 2 Cor. 1:5
But whether we are in tribulation, it is for your encouragement and salvation, wrought in the endurance of the same sufferings which *we* also suffer, 2 Cor. 1:6
(and our hope for you is sure;) or whether we are encouraged, it is for your encouragement and salvation: knowing that as ye are partakers of the sufferings, so also of the encouragement. 2 Cor. 1:7
But we ourselves had the sentence of death in ourselves, that we should not have our trust in ourselves, but in God who raises the dead; 2 Cor. 1:9
ye also labouring together by supplication for us that the gift towards us, through means of many persons, may be the subject of the thanksgiving of many for us. 2 Cor. 1:11
For our boasting is this, the testimony of our conscience, that in simplicity and sincerity before God, (not in fleshly wisdom but in God's grace,) we have had our conversation in the world, and more abundantly towards you. 2 Cor. 1:12
For we do not write other things to you but what ye well know and recognise; and I hope that ye will recognise to the end, 2 Cor. 1:13
even as also ye have recognised us in part, that we are your boast, even as *ye* are ours in the day of the Lord Jesus. 2 Cor. 1:14
For the Son of God, Jesus Christ, he who has been preached by us among you (by me and Silvanus and Timotheus), did not become yea and nay, but yea *is* in him. 2 Cor. 1:19
For whatever promises of God there are, in him is the yea, and in him the amen, for glory to God by us. 2 Cor. 1:20
who also has sealed us, and given the earnest of the Spirit in our hearts. 2 Cor. 1:22
For out of much tribulation and distress of heart I wrote to you, with many tears; not that ye may be grieved, but that ye may know the love which I have very abundantly towards you. 2 Cor. 2:4
Sufficient to such a one is this rebuke which has been inflicted by the many; 2 Cor. 2:6
so that on the contrary ye should rather shew grace and encourage, lest perhaps such a one should be swallowed up with excessive grief. 2 Cor. 2:7
For to this end also I have written, that I might know, by putting you to the test, if as to everything ye are obedient. 2 Cor. 2:9
But to whom ye forgive anything, *I* also; for I also, what I have forgiven, if I have forgiven anything, it is for your sakes in the person of Christ; 2 Cor. 2:10
Now when I came to Troas for the publication of the glad tidings of the Christ, a door also being opened to me in the Lord, 2 Cor. 2:12
But thanks be to God, who always leads us in triumph in the Christ, and makes manifest the odour of his knowledge through us in every place. 2 Cor. 2:14
For we are a sweet odour of Christ to God, in the saved and in those that perish: 2 Cor. 2:15
to the one an odour from death unto death, but to the others an odour from life unto life; and who is sufficient for these things? 2 Cor. 2:16
For we do not, as the many, make a trade of the word of God; but as of sincerity, but as of God, before God, we speak in Christ. 2 Cor. 2:17
being manifested to be Christ's epistle ministered by us, written, not with ink, but the Spirit of the living God; not on stone tables, but on fleshy tables of the heart. 2 Cor. 3:3
And such confidence have we through the Christ towards God: 2 Cor. 3:4
who has also made us competent, as ministers of the new covenant; not of letter, but of spirit. For the letter kills, but the Spirit quickens. 2 Cor. 3:6
(But if the ministry of death, in letters, graven in stones, began with glory, so that the children of Israel could not fix their eyes on the face of Moses, on account of the glory of his face, a glory which is annulled; 2 Cor. 3:7
how shall not rather the ministry of the Spirit subsist in glory? 2 Cor. 3:8
For if the ministry of condemnation be glory, much rather the ministry of righteousness abounds in glory. 2 Cor. 3:9
For also that which was glorified is not glorified in this respect, on account of the surpassing glory. 2 Cor. 3:10
and not according as Moses put a veil on his own face, so that the children of Israel should not fix their eyes on the end of that annulled. 2 Cor. 3:13
But their thoughts have been darkened, for unto this day the same veil remains in reading the old covenant, unremoved, which in Christ is annulled. 2 Cor. 3:14
But unto this day, when Moses is read, the veil lies upon their heart. 2 Cor. 3:15
But when it shall turn to the Lord, the veil is taken away.) 2 Cor. 3:16
Now the Lord is the Spirit, but where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty. 2 Cor. 3:17
But *we* all, looking on the glory of the Lord, with unveiled face, are transformed according to the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Lord the Spirit. 2 Cor. 3:18
But we have rejected the hidden things of shame, not walking in deceit, nor falsifying the word of God, but by manifestation of the truth commending ourselves to every conscience of men before God. 2 Cor. 4:2
in whom the god of this world has blinded the thoughts of the unbelieving, so that the radiancy of the glad tidings of the glory of the Christ, who is the image of God, should not shine forth for them. 2 Cor. 4:4
Because it is the God who spoke that out of darkness light should shine who has shone in our hearts for the shining forth of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ. 2 Cor. 4:6
But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the surpassingness of the power may be of God, and not from us: 2 Cor. 4:7
always bearing about in the body the dying of Jesus, that the life also of Jesus may be manifested in our body; 2 Cor. 4:10
for we who live are always delivered unto death on account of Jesus, that the life also of Jesus may be manifested in our mortal flesh; 2 Cor. 4:11
And having the same spirit of faith, according to what is written, I have believed, therefore have I spoken; *we* also believe, therefore also we speak; 2 Cor. 4:13
knowing that he who has raised the Lord Jesus shall raise us also with Jesus, and shall present us with you. 2 Cor. 4:14
For all things are for your sakes, that the grace abounding through the many may cause thanksgiving to abound to the glory of God. 2 Cor. 4:15
Wherefore we faint not; but if indeed our outward man is consumed, yet the inward is renewed day by day. 2 Cor. 4:16
while we look not at the things that are seen, but at the things that are not seen; for the things that are seen are for a time, but those that are not seen eternal. 2 Cor. 4:18
For we know that if our earthly tabernacle house be destroyed, we have a building from God, a house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens. 2 Cor. 5:1
For indeed we who are in the tabernacle groan, being burdened; while yet we do not wish to be unclothed, but clothed, that what is mortal may be swallowed up by life. 2 Cor. 5:4
Now he that has wrought us for this very thing is God, who also has given to us the earnest of the Spirit. 2 Cor. 5:5
Therefore we are always confident, and know that while present in the body we are absent from the Lord, 2 Cor. 5:6
we are confident, I say, and pleased rather to be absent from the body and present with the Lord. 2 Cor. 5:8
For we must all be manifested before the judgment-seat of the Christ, that each may receive the things done in the body, according to those he has done, whether it be good or evil. 2 Cor. 5:10
Knowing therefore the terror of the Lord we persuade men, but have been manifested to God, and I hope also that we have been manifested in your consciences. 2 Cor. 5:11
For the love of the Christ constrains us, having judged this: that one died for all, then all have died; 2 Cor. 5:14
So if any one be in Christ, there is a new creation; the old things have passed away; behold all things have become new: 2 Cor. 5:17
and all things are of the God who has reconciled us to himself by Jesus Christ, and given to us the ministry of that reconciliation: 2 Cor. 5:18
how that God was in Christ, reconciling the world to himself, not reckoning to them their offences; and putting in us the word of that reconciliation. 2 Cor. 5:19
But as fellow-workmen, we also beseech that ye receive not the grace of God in vain: 2 Cor. 6:1
(for he says, I have listened to thee in an accepted time, and I have helped thee in a day of salvation: behold, now is the well-accepted time; behold, now the day of salvation:) 2 Cor. 6:2
giving no manner of offence in anything, that the ministry be not blamed; 2 Cor. 6:3
in pureness, in knowledge, in longsuffering, in kindness, in the Holy Spirit, in love unfeigned, 2 Cor. 6:6
in the word of truth, in the power of God; through the arms of righteousness on the right hand and left, 2 Cor. 6:7
and what agreement of God's temple with idols? for *ye* are the living God's temple; according as God has said, I will dwell among them, and walk among them; and I will be their God, and they shall be to me a people. 2 Cor. 6:16
Wherefore come out from the midst of them, and be separated, saith the Lord, and touch not what is unclean, and *I* will receive you; 2 Cor. 6:17
and I will be to you for a Father, and ye shall be to me for sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty. 2 Cor. 6:18
But he who encourages those that are brought low, even God, encouraged us by the coming of Titus; 2 Cor. 7:6
and not by his coming only, but also through the encouragement with which he was encouraged as to you; relating to us your ardent desire, your mourning, your zeal for me; so that I the more rejoiced. 2 Cor. 7:7
For if also I grieved you in the letter, I do not regret it, if even I have regretted it; for I see that that letter, if even it were only for a time, grieved you. 2 Cor. 7:8
For grief according to God works repentance to salvation, never to be regretted; but the grief of the world works death. 2 Cor. 7:10
For, behold, this same thing, your being grieved according to God, how much diligence it wrought in *you*, but what excusing of yourselves, but what indignation, but what fear, but what ardent desire, but what zeal, but what vengeance: in every way ye have proved yourselves to be pure in the matter. 2 Cor. 7:11
So then, if also I wrote to you, it was not for the sake of him that injured, nor for the sake of him that was injured, but for the sake of our diligent zeal for you being manifested to you before God. 2 Cor. 7:12
For this reason we have been encouraged. And we the rather rejoiced in our encouragement more abundantly by reason of the joy of Titus, because his spirit has been refreshed by you all. 2 Cor. 7:13
Because if I boasted to him anything about you, I have not been put to shame; but as we have spoken to you all things in truth, so also our boasting to Titus has been the truth; 2 Cor. 7:14
and his affections are more abundantly towards you, calling to mind the obedience of you all, how with fear and trembling ye received him. 2 Cor. 7:15
But we make known to you, brethren, the grace of God bestowed in the assemblies of Macedonia; 2 Cor. 8:1
that in a great trial of affliction the abundance of their joy and their deep poverty has abounded to the riches of their free-hearted liberality. 2 Cor. 8:2
begging of us with much entreaty to give effect to the grace and fellowship of the service which was to be rendered to the saints. 2 Cor. 8:4
And not according as we hoped, but they gave themselves first to the Lord, and to us by God's will. 2 Cor. 8:5
I do not speak as commanding it, but through the zeal of others, and proving the genuineness of your love. 2 Cor. 8:8
For ye know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that for your sakes he, being rich, became poor, in order that *ye* by *his* poverty might be enriched. 2 Cor. 8:9
But now also complete the doing of it; so that as there was the readiness to be willing, so also to complete out of what ye have. 2 Cor. 8:11
For if the readiness be there, a man is accepted according to what he may have, not according to what he has not. 2 Cor. 8:12
but on the principle of equality; in the present time your abundance for their lack, that their abundance may be for your lack, so that there should be equality. 2 Cor. 8:14
But thanks be to God, who gives the same diligent zeal for you in the heart of Titus. 2 Cor. 8:16
For he received indeed the entreaty, but, being full of zeal, he went of his own accord to you; 2 Cor. 8:17
but we have sent with him the brother whose praise is in the glad tidings through all the assemblies; 2 Cor. 8:18
and not only so, but is also chosen by the assemblies as our fellow-traveller with this grace, ministered by us to the glory of the Lord himself, and a witness of our readiness; 2 Cor. 8:19
for we provide for things honest, not only before the Lord, but also before men. 2 Cor. 8:21
And we have sent with them our brother whom we have often proved to be of diligent zeal in many things, and now more diligently zealous through the great confidence he has as to you. 2 Cor. 8:22
Shew therefore to them, before the assemblies, the proof of your love, and of our boasting about you. 2 Cor. 8:24
For concerning the ministration which is for the saints, it is superfluous my writing to you. 2 Cor. 9:1
For I know your readiness, which I boast of as respects you to Macedonians, that Achaia is prepared since a year ago, and the zeal reported of you has stimulated the mass of the brethren. 2 Cor. 9:2
But I have sent the brethren, in order that our boasting about you may not be made void in this respect, in order that, as I have said, ye may be prepared; 2 Cor. 9:3
I thought it necessary therefore to beg the brethren that they would come to you, and complete beforehand your fore-announced blessing, that this may be ready thus as blessing, and not as got out of you. 2 Cor. 9:5
But this is true, he that sows sparingly shall reap also sparingly; and he that sows in the spirit of blessing shall reap also in blessing: 2 Cor. 9:6
according as it is written, He has scattered abroad, he has given to the poor, his righteousness remains for ever. 2 Cor. 9:9
Now he that supplies seed to the sower and bread for eating shall supply and make abundant your sowing, and increase the fruits of your righteousness: 2 Cor. 9:10
Because the ministration of this service is not only filling up the measure of what is lacking to the saints, but also abounding by many thanksgivings to God; 2 Cor. 9:12
they glorifying God through the proof of this ministration, by reason of your subjection, by profession, to the glad tidings of the Christ, and your free-hearted liberality in communicating towards them and towards all; 2 Cor. 9:13
and in their supplication for you, full of ardent desire for you, on account of the exceeding grace of God which is upon you. 2 Cor. 9:14
But I myself, Paul, entreat you by the meekness and gentleness of the Christ, who, as to appearance, when present am mean among you, but absent am bold towards you; 2 Cor. 10:1
but I beseech that present I may not be bold with the confidence with which I think to be daring towards some who think of us as walking according to flesh. 2 Cor. 10:2
For the arms of our warfare are not fleshly, but powerful according to God to the overthrow of strongholds; 2 Cor. 10:4
overthrowing reasonings and every high thing that lifts itself up against the knowledge of God, and leading captive every thought into the obedience of the Christ; 2 Cor. 10:5
For and if I should boast even somewhat more abundantly of our authority, which the Lord has given to us for building up and not for your overthrowing, I shall not be put to shame; 2 Cor. 10:8
because his letters, he says, are weighty and strong, but his presence in the body weak, and his speech naught. 2 Cor. 10:10
Now *we* will not boast out of measure, but according to the measure of the rule which the God of measure has apportioned to us, to reach to you also. 2 Cor. 10:13
For we do not, as not reaching to you, overstretch ourselves, (for we have come to you also in the glad tidings of the Christ;) 2 Cor. 10:14
to announce the glad tidings to that which is beyond you, not to be boasting in another's rule of things made ready to hand. 2 Cor. 10:16
But he that boasts, let him boast in the Lord. 2 Cor. 10:17
For not *he* that commends himself is approved, but whom the Lord commends. 2 Cor. 10:18
But I fear lest by any means, as the serpent deceived Eve by his craft, so your thoughts should be corrupted from simplicity as to the Christ. 2 Cor. 11:3
But if I am a simple person in speech, yet not in knowledge, but in everything making the truth manifest in all things to you. 2 Cor. 11:6
Have I committed sin, abasing myself in order that *ye* might be exalted, because I gratuitously announced to you the glad tidings of God? 2 Cor. 11:7
And being present with you and lacking, I did not lazily burden any one, (for the brethren who came from Macedonia supplied what I lacked,) and in everything I kept myself from being a burden to you, and will keep myself. 2 Cor. 11:9
The truth of Christ is in me that this boasting shall not be stopped as to me in the regions of Achaia. 2 Cor. 11:10
But what I do, I will also do, that I may cut off the opportunity of those wishing for an opportunity, that wherein they boast they may be found even as we. 2 Cor. 11:12
What I speak I do not speak according to the Lord, but as in folly, in this confidence of boasting. 2 Cor. 11:17
For ye bear if any one bring you into bondage, if any one devour you, if any one get your money, if any one exalt himself, if any one beat you on the face. 2 Cor. 11:20
From the Jews five times have I received forty stripes, save one. 2 Cor. 11:24
Thrice have I been scourged, once I have been stoned, three times I have suffered shipwreck, a night and day I passed in the deep: 2 Cor. 11:25
in journeyings often, in perils of rivers, in perils of robbers, in perils from my own race, in perils from the nations, in perils in the city, in perils in the desert, in perils on the sea, in perils among false brethren; 2 Cor. 11:26
Besides those things that are without, the crowd of cares pressing on me daily, the burden of all the assemblies. 2 Cor. 11:28
If it is needful to boast, I will boast in the things which concern my infirmity. 2 Cor. 11:30
The God and Father of the Lord Jesus knows -- he who is blessed for ever -- that I do not lie. 2 Cor. 11:31
In Damascus the ethnarch of Aretas the king kept the city of the Damascenes shut up, wishing to take me; 2 Cor. 11:32
and through a window in a basket I was let down by the wall, and escaped his hands. 2 Cor. 11:33
Well, it is not of profit to me to boast, for I will come to visions and revelations of the Lord. 2 Cor. 12:1
I know a man in Christ, fourteen years ago, (whether in the body I know not, or out of the body I know not, God knows;) such a one caught up to the third heaven. 2 Cor. 12:2
And I know such a man, (whether in the body or out of the body I know not, God knows;) 2 Cor. 12:3
For if I shall desire to boast, I shall not be a fool; for I will say the truth; but I forbear, lest any one should think as to me above what he sees me to be, or whatever he may hear of me. 2 Cor. 12:6
And that I might not be exalted by the exceeding greatness of the revelations, there was given to me a thorn for the flesh, a messenger of Satan that he might buffet me, that I might not be exalted. 2 Cor. 12:7
For this I thrice besought the Lord that it might depart from me. 2 Cor. 12:8
And he said to me, My grace suffices thee; for my power is perfected in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather boast in my weaknesses, that the power of the Christ may dwell upon me. 2 Cor. 12:9
The signs indeed of the apostle were wrought among you in all endurance, signs, and wonders, and works of power. 2 Cor. 12:12
For in what is it that ye have been inferior to the other assemblies, unless that I myself have not been in laziness a charge upon you? Forgive me this injury. 2 Cor. 12:13
Behold, this third time I am ready to come to you, and I will not be in laziness a charge; for I do not seek yours, but you; for the children ought not to lay up for the parents, but the parents for the children. 2 Cor. 12:14
I begged Titus, and sent the brother with him: did Titus at all make gain of you? have we not walked in the same spirit? have we not in the same steps? 2 Cor. 12:18
lest my God should humble me as to you when I come again, and that I shall grieve over many of those who have sinned before, and have not repented as to the uncleanness and fornication and licentiousness which they have practised. 2 Cor. 12:21
This third time I am coming to you. In the mouth of two or three witnesses shall every matter be established. 2 Cor. 13:1
I have declared beforehand, and I say beforehand as present the second time, and now absent, to those that have sinned before, and to all the rest, that if I come again I will not spare. 2 Cor. 13:2
examine your own selves if ye be in the faith; prove your own selves: do ye not recognise yourselves, that Jesus Christ is in you, unless indeed ye be reprobates? 2 Cor. 13:5
For we can do nothing against the truth, but for the truth. 2 Cor. 13:8
On this account I write these things being absent, that being present I may not use severity according to the authority which the Lord has given me for building up, and not for overthrowing. 2 Cor. 13:10
For the rest, brethren, rejoice; be perfected; be encouraged; be of one mind; be at peace; and the God of love and peace shall be with you. 2 Cor. 13:11
All the saints salute you. 2 Cor. 13:13
The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the communion of the Holy Spirit, be with you all. 2 Cor. 13:14
Paul, apostle, not from men nor through man, but through Jesus Christ, and God the Father who raised him from among the dead, Gal. 1:1
and all the brethren with me, to the assemblies of Galatia. Gal. 1:2
Grace to you, and peace, from God the Father, and our Lord Jesus Christ, Gal. 1:3
who gave himself for our sins, so that he should deliver us out of the present evil world, according to the will of our God and Father; Gal. 1:4
to whom be glory to the ages of ages. Amen. Gal. 1:5
which is not another one; but there are some that trouble you, and desire to pervert the glad tidings of the Christ. Gal. 1:7
But I let you know, brethren, as to the glad tidings which were announced by me, that they are not according to man. Gal. 1:11
For ye have heard what was my conversation formerly in Judaism, that I excessively persecuted the assembly of God, and ravaged it; Gal. 1:13
and advanced in Judaism beyond many my contemporaries in my nation, being exceedingly zealous of the doctrines of my fathers. Gal. 1:14
was pleased to reveal his Son in me, that I may announce him as glad tidings among the nations, immediately I took not counsel with flesh and blood, Gal. 1:16
but I saw none other of the apostles, but James the brother of the Lord. Gal. 1:19
Then I came into the regions of Syria and Cilicia. Gal. 1:21
But I was unknown personally to the assemblies of Judaea which are in Christ; Gal. 1:22
only they were hearing that he who persecuted us formerly now announces the glad tidings of the faith which formerly he ravaged: Gal. 1:23
and I went up according to revelation, and I laid before them the glad tidings which I preach among the nations, but privately to those conspicuous among them, lest in any way I run or had run in vain; Gal. 2:2
and it was on account of the false brethren brought in surreptitiously, who came in surreptitiously to spy out our liberty which we have in Christ Jesus, that they might bring us into bondage; Gal. 2:4
to whom we yielded in subjection not even for an hour, that the truth of the glad tidings might remain with you. Gal. 2:5
but, on the contrary, seeing that the glad tidings of the uncircumcision were confided to me, even as to Peter that of the circumcision, Gal. 2:7
(for he that wrought in Peter for the apostleship of the circumcision wrought also in me towards the Gentiles,) Gal. 2:8
and recognising the grace given to me, James and Cephas and John, who were conspicuous as being pillars, gave to me and Barnabas the right hands of fellowship, that *we* should go to the nations, and *they* to the circumcision; Gal. 2:9
only that we should remember the poor, which same thing also I was diligent to do. Gal. 2:10
But when Peter came to Antioch, I withstood him to the face, because he was to be condemned: Gal. 2:11
for before that certain came from James, he ate with those of the nations; but when they came, he drew back and separated himself, fearing those of the circumcision; Gal. 2:12
and the rest of the Jews also played the same dissembling part with him; so that even Barnabas was carried away too by their dissimulation. Gal. 2:13
But when I saw that they do not walk straightforwardly, according to the truth of the glad tidings, I said to Peter before all, If *thou*, being a Jew, livest as the nations and not as the Jews, how dost thou compel the nations to Judaize? Gal. 2:14
We, Jews by nature, and not sinners of the nations, Gal. 2:15
but knowing that a man is not justified on the principle of works of law nor but by the faith of Jesus Christ, *we* also have believed on Christ Jesus, that we might be justified on the principle of the faith of Christ; and not of works of law; because on the principle of works of law no flesh shall be justified. Gal. 2:16
Now if in seeking to be justified in Christ we also have been found sinners, then is Christ minister of sin? Far be the thought. Gal. 2:17
For if the things I have thrown down, these I build again, I constitute myself a transgressor. Gal. 2:18
I am crucified with Christ, and no longer live, *I*, but Christ lives in me; but in that I now live in flesh, I live by faith, the faith of the Son of God, who has loved me and given himself for me. Gal. 2:20
I do not set aside the grace of God; for if righteousness is by law, then Christ has died for nothing. Gal. 2:21
This only I wish to learn of you, Have ye received the Spirit on the principle of works of law, or of the report of faith? Gal. 3:2
He therefore who ministers to you the Spirit, and works miracles among you, is it on the principle of works of law, or of the report of faith? Gal. 3:5
Know then that they that are on the principle of faith, these are Abraham's sons; Gal. 3:7
and the scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the nations on the principle of faith, announced beforehand the glad tidings to Abraham: In thee all the nations shall be blessed. Gal. 3:8
So that they who are on the principle of faith are blessed with believing Abraham. Gal. 3:9
For as many as are on the principle of works of law are under curse. For it is written, Cursed is every one who does not continue in all things which are written in the book of the law to do them; Gal. 3:10
but that by law no one is justified with God is evident, because The just shall live on the principle of faith; Gal. 3:11
but the law is not on the principle of faith; but, He that shall have done these things shall live by them. Gal. 3:12
Christ has redeemed us out of the curse of the law, having become a curse for us, (for it is written, Cursed is every one hanged upon a tree,) Gal. 3:13
that the blessing of Abraham might come to the nations in Christ Jesus, that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith. Gal. 3:14
But to Abraham were the promises addressed, and to his seed: he does not say, And to seeds, as of many; but as of one, And to thy seed; which is Christ. Gal. 3:16
Now I say this, A covenant confirmed beforehand by God, the law, which took place four hundred and thirty years after, does not annul, so as to make the promise of no effect. Gal. 3:17
For if the inheritance be on the principle of law, it is no longer on the principle of promise; but God gave it in grace to Abraham by promise. Gal. 3:18
Why then the law? It was added for the sake of transgressions, until the seed came to whom the promise was made, ordained through angels in the hand of a mediator. Gal. 3:19
Is then the law against the promises of God? Far be the thought. For if a law had been given able to quicken, then indeed righteousness were on the principle of law; Gal. 3:21
but the scripture has shut up all things under sin, that the promise, on the principle of faith of Jesus Christ, should be given to those that believe. Gal. 3:22
So that the law has been our tutor up to Christ, that we might be justified on the principle of faith. Gal. 3:24
Now I say, As long as the heir is a child, he differs nothing from a bondman, though he be lord of all; Gal. 4:1
but he is under guardians and stewards until the period fixed by the father. Gal. 4:2
So we also, when we were children, were held in bondage under the principles of the world; Gal. 4:3
but when the fulness of the time was come, God sent forth his Son, come of woman, come under law, Gal. 4:4
But because ye are sons, God has sent out the Spirit of his Son into our hearts, crying, Abba, Father. Gal. 4:6
but now, knowing God, but rather being known by God, how do ye turn again to the weak and beggarly principles to which ye desire to be again anew in bondage? Gal. 4:9
But ye know that in weakness of the flesh I announced the glad tidings to you at the first; Gal. 4:13
So I have become your enemy in speaking the truth to you? Gal. 4:16
Tell me, ye who are desirous of being under law, do ye not listen to the law? Gal. 4:21
For it is written that Abraham had two sons; one of the maid servant, and one of the free woman. Gal. 4:22
But he that was of the maid servant was born according to flesh, and he that was of the free woman through the promise. Gal. 4:23
but the Jerusalem above is free, which is our mother. Gal. 4:26
For it is written, Rejoice, thou barren that bearest not; break out and cry, thou that travailest not; because the children of the desolate are more numerous than those of her that has a husband. Gal. 4:27
But *ye*, brethren, after the pattern of Isaac, are children of promise. Gal. 4:28
But what says the scripture? Cast out the maid servant and her son; for the son of the maid servant shall not inherit with the son of the free woman. Gal. 4:30
So then, brethren, we are not maid servant's children, but children of the free woman. Gal. 4:31
And I witness again to every man who is circumcised, that he is debtor to do the whole law. Gal. 5:3
Ye are deprived of all profit from the Christ as separated from him, as many as are justified by law; ye have fallen from grace. Gal. 5:4
For we, by the Spirit, on the principle of faith, await the hope of righteousness. Gal. 5:5
Ye ran well; who has stopped you that ye should not obey the truth? Gal. 5:7
The persuasibleness is not of him that calls you. Gal. 5:8
A little leaven leavens the whole lump. Gal. 5:9
*I* have confidence as to you in the Lord, that ye will have no other mind; and he that is troubling you shall bear the guilt of it, whosoever he may be. Gal. 5:10
But *I*, brethren, if I yet preach circumcision, why am I yet persecuted? Then the scandal of the cross has been done away. Gal. 5:11
For *ye* have been called to liberty, brethren; only do not turn liberty into an opportunity to the flesh, but by love serve one another. Gal. 5:13
For the whole law is fulfilled in one word, in Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself; Gal. 5:14
But I say, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall no way fulfil flesh's lust. Gal. 5:16
For the flesh lusts against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh: and these things are opposed one to the other, that ye should not do those things which ye desire; Gal. 5:17
but if ye are led by the Spirit, ye are not under law. Gal. 5:18
Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are fornication, uncleanness, licentiousness, Gal. 5:19
But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, long-suffering, kindness, goodness, fidelity, Gal. 5:22
But they that are of the Christ have crucified the flesh with the passions and the lusts. Gal. 5:24
If we live by the Spirit, let us walk also by the Spirit. Gal. 5:25
Bear one another's burdens, and thus fulfil the law of the Christ. Gal. 6:2
Let him that is taught in the word communicate to him that teaches in all good things. Gal. 6:6
For he that sows to his own flesh, shall reap corruption from the flesh; but he that sows to the Spirit, from the Spirit shall reap eternal life: Gal. 6:8
So then, as we have occasion, let us do good towards all, and specially towards those of the household of faith. Gal. 6:10
As many as desire to have a fair appearance in the flesh, these compel you to be circumcised, only that they may not be persecuted because of the cross of Christ. Gal. 6:12
For neither do they that are circumcised themselves keep the law; but they wish you to be circumcised, that they may boast in your flesh. Gal. 6:13
But far be it from me to boast save in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom the world is crucified to me, and I to the world. Gal. 6:14
And as many as shall walk by this rule, peace upon them and mercy, and upon the Israel of God. Gal. 6:16
For the rest let no one trouble me, for *I* bear in my body the brands of the Lord Jesus. Gal. 6:17
The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit, brethren. Amen. Gal. 6:18
Paul, apostle of Jesus Christ by God's will, to the saints and faithful in Christ Jesus who are at Ephesus. Eph. 1:1
Grace to you and peace from God our Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ. Eph. 1:2
Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenlies in Christ; Eph. 1:3
according as he has chosen us in him before the world's foundation, that we should be holy and blameless before him in love; Eph. 1:4
having marked us out beforehand for adoption through Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his will, Eph. 1:5
to the praise of the glory of his grace, wherein he has taken us into favour in the Beloved: Eph. 1:6
in whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of offences, according to the riches of his grace; Eph. 1:7
having made known to us the mystery of his will, according to his good pleasure which he purposed in himself Eph. 1:9
for the administration of the fulness of times; to head up all things in the Christ, the things in the heavens and the things upon the earth; in him, Eph. 1:10
in whom we have also obtained an inheritance, being marked out beforehand according to the purpose of him who works all things according to the counsel of his own will, Eph. 1:11
that we should be to the praise of his glory who have pre-trusted in the Christ: Eph. 1:12
in whom *ye* also have trusted, having heard the word of the truth, the glad tidings of your salvation; in whom also, having believed, ye have been sealed with the Holy Spirit of promise, Eph. 1:13
who is the earnest of our inheritance to the redemption of the acquired possession to the praise of his glory. Eph. 1:14
Wherefore *I* also, having heard of the faith in the Lord Jesus which is in you, and the love which ye have towards all the saints, Eph. 1:15
that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, would give you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the full knowledge of him, Eph. 1:17
being enlightened in the eyes of your heart, so that ye should know what is the hope of his calling, and what the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the saints, Eph. 1:18
and what the surpassing greatness of his power towards us who believe, according to the working of the might of his strength, Eph. 1:19
in which he wrought in the Christ in raising him from among the dead, and he set him down at his right hand in the heavenlies, Eph. 1:20
and has put all things under his feet, and gave him to be head over all things to the assembly, Eph. 1:22
which is his body, the fulness of him who fills all in all: Eph. 1:23
in which ye once walked according to the age of this world, according to the ruler of the authority of the air, the spirit who now works in the sons of disobedience: Eph. 2:2
among whom *we* also all once had our conversation in the lusts of our flesh, doing what the flesh and the thoughts willed to do, and were children, by nature, of wrath, even as the rest: Eph. 2:3
(we too being dead in offences,) has quickened us with the Christ, (ye are saved by grace,) Eph. 2:5
and has raised us up together, and has made us sit down together in the heavenlies in Christ Jesus, Eph. 2:6
that he might display in the coming ages the surpassing riches of his grace in kindness towards us in Christ Jesus. Eph. 2:7
not on the principle of works, that no one might boast. Eph. 2:9
Wherefore remember that *ye*, once nations in the flesh, who are called uncircumcision by that called circumcision in the flesh done with the hand; Eph. 2:11
that ye were at that time without Christ, aliens from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers to the covenants of promise, having no hope, and without God in the world: Eph. 2:12
but now in Christ Jesus *ye* who once were afar off are become nigh by the blood of the Christ. Eph. 2:13
For *he* is our peace, who has made both one, and has broken down the middle wall of enclosure, Eph. 2:14
having annulled the enmity in his flesh, the law of commandments in ordinances, that he might form the two in himself into one new man, making peace; Eph. 2:15
and might reconcile both in one body to God by the cross, having by it slain the enmity; Eph. 2:16
and, coming, he has preached the glad tidings of peace to you who were afar off, and the glad tidings of peace to those who were nigh. Eph. 2:17
For through him we have both access by one Spirit to the Father. Eph. 2:18
So then ye are no longer strangers and foreigners, but ye are fellow-citizens of the saints, and of the household of God, Eph. 2:19
being built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the corner-stone, Eph. 2:20
in whom all the building fitted together increases to a holy temple in the Lord; Eph. 2:21
in whom *ye* also are built together for a habitation of God in the Spirit. Eph. 2:22
For this reason *I* Paul, prisoner of the Christ Jesus for you nations, Eph. 3:1
(if indeed ye have heard of the administration of the grace of God which has been given to me towards you, Eph. 3:2
that by revelation the mystery has been made known to me, (according as I have written before briefly, Eph. 3:3
by which, in reading it, ye can understand my intelligence in the mystery of the Christ,) Eph. 3:4
which in other generations has not been made known to the sons of men, as it has now been revealed to his holy apostles and prophets in the power of the Spirit, Eph. 3:5
that they who are of the nations should be joint heirs, and a joint body, and joint partakers of his promise in Christ Jesus by the glad tidings; Eph. 3:6
of which I am become minister according to the gift of the grace of God given to me, according to the working of his power. Eph. 3:7
To me, less than the least of all saints, has this grace been given, to announce among the nations the glad tidings of the unsearchable riches of the Christ, Eph. 3:8
and to enlighten all with the knowledge of what is the administration of the mystery hidden throughout the ages in God, who has created all things, Eph. 3:9
in order that now to the principalities and authorities in the heavenlies might be made known through the assembly the all-various wisdom of God, Eph. 3:10
according to the purpose of the ages, which he purposed in Christ Jesus our Lord, Eph. 3:11
in whom we have boldness and access in confidence by the faith of him. Eph. 3:12
For this reason I bow my knees to the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, Eph. 3:14
of whom every family in the heavens and on earth is named, Eph. 3:15
in order that he may give you according to the riches of his glory, to be strengthened with power by his Spirit in the inner man; Eph. 3:16
that the Christ may dwell, through faith, in your hearts, being rooted and founded in love, Eph. 3:17
in order that ye may be fully able to apprehend with all the saints what is the breadth and length and depth and height; Eph. 3:18
and to know the love of the Christ which surpasses knowledge; that ye may be filled even to all the fulness of God. Eph. 3:19
But to him that is able to do far exceedingly above all which we ask or think, according to the power which works in us, Eph. 3:20
to him be glory in the assembly in Christ Jesus unto all generations of the age of ages. Amen). Eph. 3:21
*I*, the prisoner in the Lord, exhort you therefore to walk worthy of the calling wherewith ye have been called, Eph. 4:1
using diligence to keep the unity of the Spirit in the uniting bond of peace. Eph. 4:3
But to each one of us has been given grace according to the measure of the gift of the Christ. Eph. 4:7
But that he ascended, what is it but that he also descended into the lower parts of the earth? Eph. 4:9
He that descended is the same who has also ascended up above all the heavens, that he might fill all things; Eph. 4:10
for the perfecting of the saints; with a view to the work of the ministry, with a view to the edifying of the body of Christ; Eph. 4:12
until we all arrive at the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, at the full-grown man, at the measure of the stature of the fulness of the Christ; Eph. 4:13
in order that we may be no longer babes, tossed and carried about by every wind of *that* teaching which is in the sleight of men, in unprincipled cunning with a view to systematized error; Eph. 4:14
but, holding the truth in love, we may grow up to him in all things, who is the head, the Christ: Eph. 4:15
from whom the whole body, fitted together, and connected by every joint of supply, according to the working in its measure of each one part, works for itself the increase of the body to its self-building up in love. Eph. 4:16
This I say therefore, and testify in the Lord, that ye should no longer walk as the rest of the nations walk in the vanity of their mind, Eph. 4:17
being darkened in understanding, estranged from the life of God by reason of the ignorance which is in them, by reason of the hardness of their hearts, Eph. 4:18
But *ye* have not thus learnt the Christ, Eph. 4:20
if ye have heard him and been instructed in him according as the truth is in Jesus; Eph. 4:21
namely your having put off according to the former conversation the old man which corrupts itself according to the deceitful lusts; Eph. 4:22
and being renewed in the spirit of your mind; Eph. 4:23
and your having put on the new man, which according to God is created in truthful righteousness and holiness. Eph. 4:24
Be angry, and do not sin; let not the sun set upon your wrath, Eph. 4:26
neither give room for the devil. Eph. 4:27
Let the stealer steal no more, but rather let him toil, working what is honest with his hands, that he may have to distribute to him that has need. Eph. 4:28
And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, with which ye have been sealed for the day of redemption. Eph. 4:30
and walk in love, even as the Christ loved us, and delivered himself up for us, an offering and sacrifice to God for a sweet-smelling savour. Eph. 5:2
For this ye are well informed of, knowing that no fornicator, or unclean person, or person of unbridled lust, who is an idolater, has inheritance in the kingdom of the Christ and God. Eph. 5:5
Let no one deceive you with vain words, for on account of these things the wrath of God comes upon the sons of disobedience. Eph. 5:6
for ye were once darkness, but now light in the Lord; walk as children of light, Eph. 5:8
(for the fruit of the light is in all goodness and righteousness and truth,) Eph. 5:9
proving what is agreeable to the Lord; Eph. 5:10
and do not have fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather also reprove them, Eph. 5:11
for the things that are done by them in secret it is shameful even to say. Eph. 5:12
But all things having their true character exposed by the light are made manifest; for that which makes everything manifest is light. Eph. 5:13
Wherefore he says, Wake up, thou that sleepest, and arise up from among the dead, and the Christ shall shine upon thee. Eph. 5:14
redeeming the time, because the days are evil. Eph. 5:16
For this reason be not foolish, but understanding what is the will of the Lord. Eph. 5:17
And be not drunk with wine, in which is debauchery; but be filled with the Spirit, Eph. 5:18
speaking to yourselves in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and chanting with your heart to the Lord; Eph. 5:19
giving thanks at all times for all things to him who is God and the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, Eph. 5:20
submitting yourselves to one another in the fear of Christ. Eph. 5:21
Wives, submit yourselves to your own husbands, as to the Lord, Eph. 5:22
for a husband is head of the wife, as also the Christ is head of the assembly. *He* is Saviour of the body. Eph. 5:23
But even as the assembly is subjected to the Christ, so also wives to their own husbands in everything. Eph. 5:24
Husbands, love your own wives, even as the Christ also loved the assembly, and has delivered himself up for it, Eph. 5:25
in order that he might sanctify it, purifying it by the washing of water by the word, Eph. 5:26
that *he* might present the assembly to himself glorious, having no spot, or wrinkle, or any of such things; but that it might be holy and blameless. Eph. 5:27
For no one has ever hated his own flesh, but nourishes and cherishes it, even as also the Christ the assembly: Eph. 5:29
Because of this a man shall leave his father and mother, and shall be united to his wife, and the two shall be one flesh. Eph. 5:31
This mystery is great, but *I* speak as to Christ, and as to the assembly. Eph. 5:32
But *ye* also, every one of you, let each so love his own wife as himself; but as to the wife I speak that she may fear the husband. Eph. 5:33
Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is just. Eph. 6:1
Honour thy father and thy mother, which is the first commandment with a promise, Eph. 6:2
that it may be well with thee, and that thou mayest be long-lived on the earth. Eph. 6:3
And ye fathers, do not provoke your children to anger, but bring them up in the discipline and admonition of the Lord. Eph. 6:4
Bondmen, obey masters according to flesh, with fear and trembling, in simplicity of your heart as to the Christ; Eph. 6:5
not with eye-service as men-pleasers; but as bondmen of Christ, doing the will of God from the soul, Eph. 6:6
serving with good will as to the Lord, and not to men; Eph. 6:7
knowing that whatever good each shall do, this he shall receive of the Lord, whether bond or free. Eph. 6:8
And, masters, do the same things towards them, giving up threatening, knowing that both their and your Master is in heaven, and there is no acceptance of persons with him. Eph. 6:9
For the rest, brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the might of his strength. Eph. 6:10
Put on the panoply of God, that ye may be able to stand against the artifices of the devil: Eph. 6:11
because our struggle is not against blood and flesh, but against principalities, against authorities, against the universal lords of this darkness, against spiritual power of wickedness in the heavenlies. Eph. 6:12
For this reason take to you the panoply of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and, having accomplished all things, to stand. Eph. 6:13
Stand therefore, having girt about your loins with truth, and having put on the breastplate of righteousness, Eph. 6:14
and shod your feet with the preparation of the glad tidings of peace: Eph. 6:15
besides all these, having taken the shield of faith with which ye will be able to quench all the inflamed darts of the wicked one. Eph. 6:16
Have also the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is God's word; Eph. 6:17
praying at all seasons, with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching unto this very thing with all perseverance and supplication for all the saints; Eph. 6:18
and for me in order that utterance may be given to me in the opening of my mouth to make known with boldness the mystery of the glad tidings, Eph. 6:19
But in order that *ye* also may know what concerns me, how I am getting on, Tychicus, the beloved brother and faithful minister in the Lord, shall make all things known to you; Eph. 6:21
Peace to the brethren, and love with faith, from God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. Eph. 6:23
Paul and Timotheus, bondmen of Jesus Christ, to all the saints in Christ Jesus who are in Philippi, with the overseers and ministers; Phil. 1:1
grace to you, and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. Phil. 1:2
constantly in my every supplication, making the supplication for you all with joy, Phil. 1:4
because of your fellowship with the gospel, from the first day until now; Phil. 1:5
as it is righteous for me to think this as to you all, because ye have *me* in your hearts, and that both in my bonds and in the defence and confirmation of the glad tidings ye are all participators in my grace. Phil. 1:7
For God is my witness how I long after you all in the bowels of Christ Jesus. Phil. 1:8
that ye may judge of and approve the things that are more excellent, in order that ye may be pure and without offence for Christ's day, Phil. 1:10
being complete as regards the fruit of righteousness, which is by Jesus Christ, to God's glory and praise. Phil. 1:11
But I would have you know, brethren, that the circumstances in which I am have turned out rather to the furtherance of the glad tidings, Phil. 1:12
so that my bonds have become manifest as being in Christ in all the praetorium and to all others; Phil. 1:13
and that the most of the brethren, trusting in the Lord through my bonds, dare more abundantly to speak the word of God fearlessly. Phil. 1:14
Some indeed also for envy and strife, but some also for good will, preach the Christ. Phil. 1:15
These indeed out of love, knowing that I am set for the defence of the glad tidings; Phil. 1:16
but those out of contention, announce the Christ, not purely, supposing to arouse tribulation for my bonds. Phil. 1:17
for I know that this shall turn out for me to salvation, through your supplication and the supply of the Spirit of Jesus Christ; Phil. 1:19
but if to live in flesh is my lot, this is for me worth the while: and what I shall choose I cannot tell. Phil. 1:22
But I am pressed by both, having the desire for departure and being with Christ, for it is very much better, Phil. 1:23
but remaining in the flesh is more necessary for your sakes; Phil. 1:24
Only conduct yourselves worthily of the glad tidings of the Christ, in order that whether coming and seeing you, or absent, I may hear of what concerns you, that ye stand firm in one spirit, with one soul, labouring together in the same conflict with the faith of the glad tidings; Phil. 1:27
and not frightened in anything by the opposers, which is to them a demonstration of destruction, but of your salvation, and that from God; Phil. 1:28
because to you has been given, as regards Christ, not only the believing on him but the suffering for him also, Phil. 1:29
having the same conflict which ye have seen in me, and now hear of in me. Phil. 1:30
If then there be any comfort in Christ, if any consolation of love, if any fellowship of the Spirit, if any bowels and compassions, Phil. 2:1
fulfil my joy, that ye may think the same thing, having the same love, joined in soul, thinking one thing; Phil. 2:2
let nothing be in the spirit of strife or vain glory, but, in lowliness of mind, each esteeming the other as more excellent than themselves; Phil. 2:3
who, subsisting in the form of God, did not esteem it an object of rapine to be on an equality with God; Phil. 2:6
but emptied himself, taking a bondman's form, taking his place in the likeness of men; Phil. 2:7
and having been found in figure as a man, humbled himself, becoming obedient even unto death, and that the death of the cross. Phil. 2:8
that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of heavenly and earthly and infernal beings, Phil. 2:10
and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord to God the Father's glory. Phil. 2:11
for it is God who works in you both the willing and the working according to his good pleasure. Phil. 2:13
that ye may be harmless and simple, irreproachable children of God in the midst of a crooked and perverted generation; among whom ye appear as lights in the world, Phil. 2:15
holding forth the word of life, so as to be a boast for me in Christ's day, that I have not run in vain nor laboured in vain. Phil. 2:16
But if also I am poured out as a libation on the sacrifice and ministration of your faith, I rejoice, and rejoice in common with you all. Phil. 2:17
But I hope in the Lord Jesus to send Timotheus to you shortly, that *I* also may be refreshed, knowing how ye get on. Phil. 2:19
For all seek their own things, not the things of Jesus Christ. Phil. 2:21
But ye know the proof of him, that, as a child a father, he has served with me in the work of the glad tidings. Phil. 2:22
but I trust in the Lord that I myself also shall soon come; Phil. 2:24
I have sent him therefore the more diligently, that seeing him ye might again rejoice, and that *I* might be the less sorrowful. Phil. 2:28
Receive him therefore in the Lord with all joy, and hold such in honour; Phil. 2:29
because for the sake of the work he drew near even to death, venturing his life that he might fill up what lacked in your ministration toward me. Phil. 2:30
For the rest, my brethren, rejoice in the Lord: to write the same things to you, to me is not irksome, and for you safe. Phil. 3:1
See to dogs, see to evil workmen, see to the concision. Phil. 3:2
For *we* are the circumcision, who worship by the Spirit of God, and boast in Christ Jesus, and do not trust in flesh. Phil. 3:3
as to circumcision, I received it the eighth day; of the race of Israel, of the tribe of Benjamin, Hebrew of Hebrews; as to the law, a Pharisee; Phil. 3:5
as to zeal, persecuting the assembly; as to righteousness which is in the law, found blameless; Phil. 3:6
But surely I count also all things to be loss on account of the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord, on account of whom I have suffered the loss of all, and count them to be filth, that I may gain Christ; Phil. 3:8
and that I may be found in him, not having my righteousness, which would be on the principle of law, but that which is by faith of Christ, the righteousness which is of God through faith, Phil. 3:9
to know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, being conformed to his death, Phil. 3:10
if any way I arrive at the resurrection from among the dead. Phil. 3:11
Not that I have already obtained the prize, or am already perfected; but I pursue, if also I may get possession of it, seeing that also I have been taken possession of by Christ Jesus. Phil. 3:12
Brethren, *I* do not count to have got possession myself; but one thing -- forgetting the things behind, and stretching out to the things before, Phil. 3:13
I pursue, looking towards the goal, for the prize of the calling on high of God in Christ Jesus. Phil. 3:14
But whereto we have attained, let us walk in the same steps. Phil. 3:16
(for many walk of whom I have told you often, and now tell you even weeping, that they are the enemies of the cross of Christ: Phil. 3:18
whose end is destruction, whose god is the belly, and their glory in their shame, who mind earthly things:) Phil. 3:19
for *our* commonwealth has its existence in the heavens, from which also we await the Lord Jesus Christ as Saviour, Phil. 3:20
who shall transform our body of humiliation into conformity to his body of glory, according to the working of the power which he has even to subdue all things to himself. Phil. 3:21
So that, my brethren, beloved and longed for, my joy and crown, thus stand fast in the Lord, beloved. Phil. 4:1
I exhort Euodia, and exhort Syntyche, to be of the same mind in the Lord; Phil. 4:2
yea, I ask thee also, true yokefellow, assist them, who have contended along with me in the glad tidings, with Clement also, and my other fellow-labourers, whose names are in the book of life. Phil. 4:3
Rejoice in the Lord always: again I will say, Rejoice. Phil. 4:4
Let your gentleness be known of all men. The Lord is near. Phil. 4:5
and the peace of God, which surpasses every understanding, shall guard your hearts and your thoughts by Christ Jesus. Phil. 4:7
For the rest, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are noble, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are amiable, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue and if any praise, think on these things. Phil. 4:8
What ye have both learned, and received, and heard, and seen in me, these things do; and the God of peace shall be with you. Phil. 4:9
But I rejoiced in the Lord greatly, that now however at length ye have revived your thinking of me, though surely ye did also think of me, but lacked opportunity. Phil. 4:10
And know also *ye*, O Philippians, that in the beginning of the gospel, when I came out of Macedonia, no assembly communicated anything to me in the way of giving and receiving save *ye* alone; Phil. 4:15
But I have all things in full supply and abound; I am full, having received of Epaphroditus the things sent from you, an odour of sweet savour, an acceptable sacrifice, agreeable to God. Phil. 4:18
But to our God and Father be glory to the ages of ages. Amen. Phil. 4:20
Salute every saint in Christ Jesus. The brethren who are with me salute you. Phil. 4:21
All the saints salute you, and specially those of the household of Caesar. Phil. 4:22
The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit. Amen. Phil. 4:23
Paul, apostle of Christ Jesus, by God's will, and Timotheus the brother, Col. 1:1
to the holy and faithful brethren in Christ which are in Colosse. Grace to you and peace from God our Father and Lord Jesus Christ. Col. 1:2
We give thanks to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ continually when praying for you, Col. 1:3
having heard of your faith in Christ Jesus, and the love which ye have towards all the saints, Col. 1:4
on account of the hope which is laid up for you in the heavens; of which ye heard before in the word of the truth of the glad tidings, Col. 1:5
which are come to you, as they are in all the world, and are bearing fruit and growing, even as also among you, from the day ye heard them and knew indeed the grace of God, in truth: Col. 1:6
who has also manifested to us your love in the Spirit. Col. 1:8
For this reason *we* also, from the day we heard of your faith and love, do not cease praying and asking for you, to the end that ye may be filled with the full knowledge of his will, in all wisdom and spiritual understanding, Col. 1:9
so as to walk worthily of the Lord unto all well-pleasing, bearing fruit in every good work, and growing by the true knowledge of God; Col. 1:10
strengthened with all power according to the might of his glory unto all endurance and longsuffering with joy; Col. 1:11
giving thanks to the Father, who has made us fit for sharing the portion of the saints in light, Col. 1:12
who has delivered us from the authority of darkness, and translated us into the kingdom of the Son of his love: Col. 1:13
in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins; Col. 1:14
who is image of the invisible God, firstborn of all creation; Col. 1:15
because by him were created all things, the things in the heavens and the things upon the earth, the visible and the invisible, whether thrones, or lordships, or principalities, or authorities: all things have been created by him and for him. Col. 1:16
And *he* is the head of the body, the assembly; who is the beginning, firstborn from among the dead, that *he* might have the first place in all things: Col. 1:18
for in him all the fulness of the Godhead was pleased to dwell, Col. 1:19
and by him to reconcile all things to itself, having made peace by the blood of his cross -- by him, whether the things on the earth or the things in the heavens. Col. 1:20
in the body of his flesh through death; to present you holy and unblamable and irreproachable before it, Col. 1:22
if indeed ye abide in the faith founded and firm, and not moved away from the hope of the glad tidings, which ye have heard, which have been proclaimed in the whole creation which is under heaven, of which *I* Paul became minister. Col. 1:23
Now, I rejoice in sufferings for you, and I fill up that which is behind of the tribulations of Christ in my flesh, for his body, which is the assembly; Col. 1:24
of which *I* became minister, according to the dispensation of God which is given me towards you to complete the word of God, Col. 1:25
the mystery which has been hidden from ages and from generations, but has now been made manifest to his saints; Col. 1:26
to whom God would make known what are the riches of the glory of this mystery among the nations, which is Christ in you the hope of glory: Col. 1:27
whom *we* announce, admonishing every man, and teaching every man, in all wisdom, to the end that we may present every man perfect in Christ. Col. 1:28
to the end that their hearts may be encouraged, being united together in love, and unto all riches of the full assurance of understanding, to the full knowledge of the mystery of God; Col. 2:2
in which are hid all the treasures of wisdom and of knowledge. Col. 2:3
And I say this to the end that no one may delude you by persuasive speech. Col. 2:4
For if indeed in the flesh I am absent, yet I am with you in spirit, rejoicing and seeing your order, and the firmness of your faith in Christ. Col. 2:5
As therefore ye have received the Christ, Jesus the Lord, walk in him, Col. 2:6
rooted and built up in him, and assured in the faith, even as ye have been taught, abounding in it with thanksgiving. Col. 2:7
See that there be no one who shall lead *you* away as a prey through philosophy and vain deceit, according to the teaching of men, according to the elements of the world, and not according to Christ. Col. 2:8
For in him dwells all the fulness of the Godhead bodily; Col. 2:9
and ye are complete in him, who is the head of all principality and authority, Col. 2:10
in whom also ye have been circumcised with circumcision not done by hand, in the putting off of the body of the flesh, in the circumcision of the Christ; Col. 2:11
buried with him in baptism, in which ye have been also raised with him through faith of the working of God who raised him from among the dead. Col. 2:12
And you, being dead in offences and in the uncircumcision of your flesh, he has quickened together with him, having forgiven us all the offences; Col. 2:13
having effaced the handwriting in ordinances which stood out against us, which was contrary to us, he has taken it also out of the way, having nailed it to the cross; Col. 2:14
which are a shadow of things to come; but the body is of Christ. Col. 2:17
Let no one fraudulently deprive you of your prize, doing his own will in humility and worship of angels, entering into things which he has not seen, vainly puffed up by the mind of his flesh, Col. 2:18
and not holding fast the head, from whom all the body, ministered to and united together by the joints and bands, increases with the increase of God. Col. 2:19
If ye have died with Christ from the elements of the world, why as if alive in the world do ye subject yourselves to ordinances? Col. 2:20
(things which are all for destruction in the using of them:) according to the injunctions and teachings of men, Col. 2:22
(which have indeed an appearance of wisdom in voluntary worship, and humility, and harsh treatment of the body, not in a certain honour,) to the satisfaction of the flesh. Col. 2:23
If therefore ye have been raised with the Christ, seek the things which are above, where the Christ is, sitting at the right hand of God: Col. 3:1
have your mind on the things that are above, not on the things that are on the earth; Col. 3:2
for ye have died, and your life is hid with the Christ in God. Col. 3:3
When the Christ is manifested who is our life, then shall *ye* also be manifested with him in glory. Col. 3:4
Put to death therefore your members which are upon the earth, fornication, uncleanness, vile passions, evil lust, and unbridled desire, which is idolatry. Col. 3:5
On account of which things the wrath of God comes upon the sons of disobedience. Col. 3:6
Do not lie to one another, having put off the old man with his deeds, Col. 3:9
and having put on the new, renewed into full knowledge according to the image of him that has created him; Col. 3:10
Put on therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, bowels of compassion, kindness, lowliness, meekness, longsuffering; Col. 3:12
forbearing one another, and forgiving one another, if any should have a complaint against any; even as the Christ has forgiven you, so also do *ye*. Col. 3:13
And to all these add love, which is the bond of perfectness. Col. 3:14
And let the peace of Christ preside in your hearts, to which also ye have been called in one body, and be thankful. Col. 3:15
Let the word of the Christ dwell in you richly, in all wisdom teaching and admonishing one another, in psalms, hymns, spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to God. Col. 3:16
And everything, whatever ye may do in word or in deed, do all things in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father by him. Col. 3:17
Wives, be subject to your husbands, as is fitting in the Lord. Col. 3:18
Children, obey your parents in all things, for this is well-pleasing in the Lord. Col. 3:20
Fathers, do not vex your children, to the end that they be not disheartened. Col. 3:21
Bondmen, obey in all things your masters according to flesh; not with eye-services, as men-pleasers, but in simplicity of heart, fearing the Lord. Col. 3:22
Whatsoever ye do, labour at it heartily, as doing it to the Lord, and not to men; Col. 3:23
knowing that of the Lord ye shall receive the recompense of the inheritance; ye serve the Lord Christ. Col. 3:24
For he that does a wrong shall receive the wrong he has done, and there is no respect of persons. Col. 3:25
Masters, give to bondmen what is just and fair, knowing that *ye* also have a Master in the heavens. Col. 4:1
praying at the same time for us also, that God may open to us a door of the word to speak the mystery of Christ, on account of which also I am bound, Col. 4:3
to the end that I may make it manifest as I ought to speak. Col. 4:4
Tychicus, the beloved brother and faithful minister and fellow-bondman in the Lord, will make known to you all that concerns me; Col. 4:7
with Onesimus, the faithful and beloved brother, who is one of you. They shall make known to you everything here. Col. 4:9
and Jesus called Justus, who are of the circumcision. These are the only fellow-workers for the kingdom of God who have been a consolation to me. Col. 4:11
Epaphras, who is one of you, the bondman of Christ Jesus, salutes you, always combating earnestly for you in prayers, to the end that ye may stand perfect and complete in all the will of God. Col. 4:12
Luke, the beloved physician, salutes you, and Demas. Col. 4:14
Salute the brethren in Laodicea, and Nymphas, and the assembly which is in his house. Col. 4:15
And when the letter has been read among you, cause that it be read also in the assembly of Laodiceans, and that *ye* also read that from Laodicea. Col. 4:16
And say to Archippus, Take heed to the ministry which thou hast received in the Lord, to the end that thou fulfil it. Col. 4:17
The salutation by the hand of me Paul. Remember my bonds. Grace be with you. Col. 4:18
Paul and Silvanus and Timotheus to the assembly of Thessalonians in God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. Grace to you and peace. 1 Th. 1:1
For our glad tidings were not with you in word only, but also in power, and in the Holy Spirit, and in much assurance; even as ye know what we were among you for your sakes: 1 Th. 1:5
and *ye* became our imitators, and of the Lord, having accepted the word in much tribulation with joy of the Holy Spirit, 1 Th. 1:6
for the word of the Lord sounded out from you, not only in Macedonia and Achaia, but in every place your faith which is towards God has gone abroad, so that we have no need to say anything; 1 Th. 1:8
and to await his Son from the heavens, whom he raised from among the dead, Jesus, our deliverer from the coming wrath. 1 Th. 1:10
but, having suffered before and been insulted, even as ye know, in Philippi, we were bold in our God to speak unto you the glad tidings of God with much earnest striving. 1 Th. 2:2
but even as we have been approved of God to have the glad tidings entrusted to us, so we speak; not as pleasing men, but God, who proves our hearts. 1 Th. 2:4
but have been gentle in the midst of you, as a nurse would cherish her own children. 1 Th. 2:7
Thus, yearning over you, we had found our delight in having imparted to you not only the glad tidings of God, but our own lives also, because ye had become beloved of us. 1 Th. 2:8
For ye remember, brethren, our labour and toil: working night and day, not to be chargeable to any one of you, we have preached to you the glad tidings of God. 1 Th. 2:9
And for this cause we also give thanks to God unceasingly that, having received the word of the report of God by us, ye accepted, not men's word, but, even as it is truly, God's word, which also works in you who believe. 1 Th. 2:13
For *ye*, brethren, have become imitators of the assemblies of God which are in Judaea in Christ Jesus; for *ye* also have suffered the same things of your own countrymen as also *they* of the Jews, 1 Th. 2:14
who have both slain the Lord Jesus and the prophets, and have driven us out by persecution, and do not please God, and are against all men, 1 Th. 2:15
forbidding us to speak to the nations that they may be saved, that they may fill up their sins always: but wrath has come upon them to the uttermost. 1 Th. 2:16
and sent Timotheus, our brother and fellow-workman under God in the glad tidings of Christ, to confirm you and encourage you concerning your faith, 1 Th. 3:2
For this reason *I* also, no longer able to refrain myself, sent to know your faith, lest perhaps the tempter had tempted you and our labour should be come to nothing. 1 Th. 3:5
But Timotheus having just come to us from you, and brought to us the glad tidings of your faith and love, and that ye have always good remembrance of us, desiring much to see us, even as we also you; 1 Th. 3:6
because now we live if *ye* stand firm in the Lord. 1 Th. 3:8
For what thanksgiving can we render to God for you, for all the joy wherewith we rejoice on account of you before our God, 1 Th. 3:9
night and day beseeching exceedingly to the end that we may see your face, and perfect what is lacking in your faith? 1 Th. 3:10
But you, may the Lord make to exceed and abound in love toward one another, and toward all, even as we also towards you, 1 Th. 3:12
in order to the confirming of your hearts unblamable in holiness before our God and Father at the coming of our Lord Jesus with all his saints. 1 Th. 3:13
For the rest, then, brethren, we beg you and exhort you in the Lord Jesus, even as ye have received from us how ye ought to walk and please God, even as ye also do walk, that ye would abound still more. 1 Th. 4:1
For ye know what charges we gave you through the Lord Jesus. 1 Th. 4:2
For this is the will of God, even your sanctification, that ye should abstain from fornication; 1 Th. 4:3
(not in passionate desire, even as the nations who know not God,) 1 Th. 4:5
not overstepping the rights of and wronging his brother in the matter, because the Lord is the avenger of all these things, even as we also told you before, and have fully testified. 1 Th. 4:6
For also ye do this towards all the brethren in the whole of Macedonia; but we exhort you, brethren, to abound still more, 1 Th. 4:10
But we do not wish you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them that are fallen asleep, to the end that ye be not grieved even as also the rest who have no hope. 1 Th. 4:13
(For this we say to you in the word of the Lord, that *we*, the living, who remain to the coming of the Lord, are in no way to anticipate those who have fallen asleep; 1 Th. 4:15
for the Lord himself, with an assembling shout, with archangel's voice and with trump of God, shall descend from heaven; and the dead in Christ shall rise first; 1 Th. 4:16
then *we*, the living who remain, shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air; and thus we shall be always with the Lord. 1 Th. 4:17
But concerning the times and the seasons, brethren, ye have no need that ye should be written to, 1 Th. 5:1
for ye know perfectly well yourselves, that the day of the Lord so comes as a thief by night. 1 Th. 5:2
But *ye*, brethren, are not in darkness, that the day should overtake you as a thief: 1 Th. 5:4
So then do not let us sleep as the rest do, but let us watch and be sober; 1 Th. 5:6
but *we* being of the day, let us be sober, putting on the breastplate of faith and love, and as helmet the hope of salvation; 1 Th. 5:8
Wherefore encourage one another, and build up each one the other, even as also ye do. 1 Th. 5:11
But we beg you, brethren, to know those who labour among you, and take the lead among you in the Lord, and admonish you, 1 Th. 5:12
But we exhort you, brethren, admonish the disorderly, comfort the faint-hearted, sustain the weak, be patient towards all. 1 Th. 5:14
in everything give thanks, for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus towards you; 1 Th. 5:18
quench not the Spirit; 1 Th. 5:19
but prove all things, hold fast the right; 1 Th. 5:21
Now the God of peace himself sanctify you wholly: and your whole spirit, and soul, and body be preserved blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. 1 Th. 5:23
Greet all the brethren with a holy kiss. 1 Th. 5:26
I adjure you by the Lord that the letter be read to all the holy brethren. 1 Th. 5:27
The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you. 1 Th. 5:28
Paul and Silvanus and Timotheus to the assembly of Thessalonians in God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. 2 Th. 1:1
Grace to you, and peace from God our Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ. 2 Th. 1:2
We ought to thank God always for you, brethren, even as it is meet, because your faith increases exceedingly, and the love of each one of you all towards one another abounds; 2 Th. 1:3
so that we ourselves make our boast in you in the assemblies of God for your endurance and faith in all your persecutions and tribulations, which ye are sustaining; 2 Th. 1:4
a manifest token of the righteous judgment of God, to the end that ye should be counted worthy of the kingdom of God, for the sake of which ye also suffer; 2 Th. 1:5
and to you that are troubled repose with us, at the revelation of the Lord Jesus from heaven, with the angels of his power, 2 Th. 1:7
in flaming fire taking vengeance on those who know not God, and those who do not obey the glad tidings of our Lord Jesus Christ; 2 Th. 1:8
who shall pay the penalty of everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord, and from the glory of his might, 2 Th. 1:9
To which end we also pray always for you, that our God may count you worthy of the calling, and fulfil all the good pleasure of his goodness and the work of faith with power, 2 Th. 1:11
so that the name of our Lord Jesus Christ may be glorified in you and *ye* in him, according to the grace of our God, and of the Lord Jesus Christ. 2 Th. 1:12
Now we beg you, brethren, by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our gathering together to him, 2 Th. 2:1
that ye be not soon shaken in mind, nor troubled, neither by spirit, nor by word, nor by letter, as if it were by us, as that the day of the Lord is present. 2 Th. 2:2
Let not any one deceive you in any manner, because it will not be unless the apostasy have first come, and the man of sin have been revealed, the son of perdition; 2 Th. 2:3
who opposes and exalts himself on high against all called God, or object of veneration; so that he himself sits down in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God. 2 Th. 2:4
For the mystery of lawlessness already works; only there is he who restrains now until he be gone, 2 Th. 2:7
and then the lawless one shall be revealed, whom the Lord Jesus shall consume with the breath of his mouth, and shall annul by the appearing of his coming; 2 Th. 2:8
whose coming is according to the working of Satan in all power and signs and wonders of falsehood, 2 Th. 2:9
and in all deceit of unrighteousness to them that perish, because they have not received the love of the truth that they might be saved. 2 Th. 2:10
that all might be judged who have not believed the truth, but have found pleasure in unrighteousness. 2 Th. 2:12
But we ought to give thanks to God always for you, brethren beloved of the Lord, that God has chosen you from the beginning to salvation in sanctification of the Spirit and belief of the truth: 2 Th. 2:13
whereto he has called you by our glad tidings, to the obtaining of the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ. 2 Th. 2:14
So then, brethren, stand firm, and hold fast the instructions which ye have been taught, whether by word or by our letter. 2 Th. 2:15
For the rest, brethren, pray for us, that the word of the Lord may run and be glorified, even as also with you; 2 Th. 3:1
and that we may be delivered from bad and evil men, for faith is not the portion of all. 2 Th. 3:2
But the Lord is faithful, who shall establish you and keep you from evil. 2 Th. 3:3
But we trust in the Lord as to you, that the things which we enjoin, ye both do and will do. 2 Th. 3:4
But the Lord direct your hearts into the love of God, and into the patience of the Christ. 2 Th. 3:5
Now we enjoin you, brethren, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that ye withdraw from every brother walking disorderly and not according to the instruction which he received from us. 2 Th. 3:6
not that we have not the right, but that we might give ourselves as an example to you, in order to your imitating us. 2 Th. 3:9
Now such we enjoin and exhort in the Lord Jesus Christ, that working quietly they eat their own bread. 2 Th. 3:12
But if any one obey not our word by the letter, mark that man, and do not keep company with him, that he may be ashamed of himself; 2 Th. 3:14
But the Lord of peace himself give you peace continually in every way. The Lord be with you all. 2 Th. 3:16
The salutation by the hand of me, Paul, which is the mark in every letter; so I write. 2 Th. 3:17
The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. 2 Th. 3:18
Paul, apostle of Jesus Christ, according to the command of God our Saviour, and of Christ Jesus our hope, 1 Tim. 1:1
But the end of what is enjoined is love out of a pure heart and a good conscience and unfeigned faith; 1 Tim. 1:5
Now we know that the law is good if any one uses it lawfully, 1 Tim. 1:8
knowing this, that law has not its application to a righteous person, but to the lawless and insubordinate, to the impious and sinful, to the unholy and profane, to smiters of fathers and smiters of mothers; to murderers, 1 Tim. 1:9
according to the glad tidings of the glory of the blessed God, with which *I* have been entrusted. 1 Tim. 1:11
But the grace of our Lord surpassingly over-abounded with faith and love, which is in Christ Jesus. 1 Tim. 1:14
Faithful is the word, and worthy of all acceptation, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners, of whom *I* am the first. 1 Tim. 1:15
But for this reason mercy was shewn me, that in me, the first, Jesus Christ might display the whole long-suffering, for a delineation of those about to believe on him to life eternal. 1 Tim. 1:16
Now to the King of the ages, the incorruptible, invisible, only God, honour and glory to the ages of ages. Amen. 1 Tim. 1:17
This charge, my child Timotheus, I commit to thee, according to the prophecies as to thee preceding, in order that thou mightest war by them the good warfare, 1 Tim. 1:18
who desires that all men should be saved and come to the knowledge of the truth. 1 Tim. 2:4
For God is one, and the mediator of God and men one, the man Christ Jesus, 1 Tim. 2:5
who gave himself a ransom for all, the testimony to be rendered in its own times; 1 Tim. 2:6
to which *I* have been appointed a herald and apostle, (I speak the truth, I do not lie,) a teacher of the nations in faith and truth. 1 Tim. 2:7
I will therefore that the men pray in every place, lifting up pious hands, without wrath or reasoning. 1 Tim. 2:8
In like manner also that the women in decent deportment and dress adorn themselves with modesty and discretion, not with plaited hair and gold, or pearls, or costly clothing, 1 Tim. 2:9
but, what becomes women making profession of the fear of God, by good works. 1 Tim. 2:10
and Adam was not deceived; but the woman, having been deceived, was in transgression. 1 Tim. 2:14
The word is faithful: if any one aspires to exercise oversight, he desires a good work. 1 Tim. 3:1
The overseer then must be irreproachable, husband of one wife, sober, discreet, decorous, hospitable, apt to teach; 1 Tim. 3:2
(but if one does not know how to conduct his own house, how shall he take care of the assembly of God?) 1 Tim. 3:5
not a novice, that he may not, being inflated, fall into the fault of the devil. 1 Tim. 3:6
But it is necessary that he should have also a good testimony from those without, that he may fall not into reproach and the snare of the devil. 1 Tim. 3:7
holding the mystery of the faith in a pure conscience. 1 Tim. 3:9
The women in like manner grave, not slanderers, sober, faithful in all things. 1 Tim. 3:11
Let the ministers be husbands of one wife, conducting their children and their own houses well: 1 Tim. 3:12
but if I delay, in order that thou mayest know how one ought to conduct oneself in God's house, which is the assembly of the living God, the pillar and base of the truth. 1 Tim. 3:15
And confessedly the mystery of piety is great. God has been manifested in flesh, has been justified in the Spirit, has appeared to angels, has been preached among the nations, has been believed on in the world, has been received up in glory. 1 Tim. 3:16
But the Spirit speaks expressly, that in latter times some shall apostatise from the faith, giving their mind to deceiving spirits and teachings of demons 1 Tim. 4:1
forbidding to marry, bidding to abstain from meats, which God has created for receiving with thanksgiving for them who are faithful and know the truth. 1 Tim. 4:3
Laying these things before the brethren, thou wilt be a good minister of Christ Jesus, nourished with the words of the faith and of the good teaching which thou hast fully followed up. 1 Tim. 4:6
for bodily exercise is profitable for a little, but piety is profitable for everything, having promise of life, of the present one, and of that to come. 1 Tim. 4:8
The word is faithful and worthy of all acceptation; 1 Tim. 4:9
Let no one despise thy youth, but be a model of the believers, in word, in conduct, in love, in faith, in purity. 1 Tim. 4:12
Be not negligent of the gift that is in thee, which has been given to thee through prophecy, with imposition of the hands of the elderhood. 1 Tim. 4:14
Give heed to thyself and to the teaching; continue in them; for, doing this, thou shalt save both thyself and those that hear thee. 1 Tim. 4:16
but if any widow have children or descendants, let them learn first to be pious as regards their own house, and to render a return on their side to their parents; for this is acceptable in the sight of God. 1 Tim. 5:4
But if any one does not provide for his own, and specially for those of his house, he has denied the faith, and is worse than the unbeliever. 1 Tim. 5:8
Let a widow be put upon the list, being of not less than sixty years, having been wife of one man, 1 Tim. 5:9
borne witness to in good works, if she have brought up children, if she have exercised hospitality, if she have washed saints' feet, if she have imparted relief to the distressed, if she have diligently followed every good work. 1 Tim. 5:10
And, at the same time, they learn also to be idle, going about to people's houses; and not only idle, but also gossipers and meddlers, speaking things not becoming. 1 Tim. 5:13
I will therefore that the younger marry, bear children, rule the house, give no occasion to the adversary in respect of reproach. 1 Tim. 5:14
If any believing man or woman have widows, let them impart relief to them, and let not the assembly be charged, that it may impart relief to those that are widows indeed. 1 Tim. 5:16
Let the elders who take the lead among the saints well be esteemed worthy of double honour, specially those labouring in word and teaching; 1 Tim. 5:17
for the scripture says, Thou shalt not muzzle an ox that treadeth out corn, and, The workman is worthy of his hire. 1 Tim. 5:18
Those that sin convict before all, that the rest also may have fear. 1 Tim. 5:20
I testify before God and Christ Jesus and the elect angels, that thou keep these things without prejudice, doing nothing by favour. 1 Tim. 5:21
Of some men the sins are manifest beforehand, going before to judgment, and some also they follow after. 1 Tim. 5:24
Let as many bondmen as are under yoke count their own masters worthy of all honour, that the name of God and the teaching be not blasphemed. 1 Tim. 6:1
And they that have believing masters, let them not despise them because they are brethren; but let them the rather serve them with subjection, because they are faithful and beloved, who profit by the good and ready service rendered. These things teach and exhort. 1 Tim. 6:2
If any one teach differently, and do not accede to sound words, those of our Lord Jesus Christ, and the teaching which is according to piety, 1 Tim. 6:3
constant quarrellings of men corrupted in mind and destitute of the truth, holding gain to be the end of piety. 1 Tim. 6:5
For we have brought nothing into the world: it is manifest that neither can we carry anything out. 1 Tim. 6:7
For the love of money is the root of every evil; which some having aspired after, have wandered from the faith, and pierced themselves with many sorrows. 1 Tim. 6:10
Strive earnestly in the good conflict of faith. Lay hold of eternal life, to which thou hast been called, and hast confessed the good confession before many witnesses. 1 Tim. 6:12
I enjoin thee before God who preserves all things in life, and Christ Jesus who witnessed before Pontius Pilate the good confession, 1 Tim. 6:13
that thou keep the commandment spotless, irreproachable, until the appearing of our Lord Jesus Christ; 1 Tim. 6:14
which in its own time the blessed and only Ruler shall shew, the King of those that reign, and Lord of those that exercise lordship; 1 Tim. 6:15
Enjoin on those rich in the present age not to be high-minded, nor to trust on the uncertainty of riches; but in the God who affords us all things richly for our enjoyment; 1 Tim. 6:17
laying by for themselves a good foundation for the future, that they may lay hold of what is really life. 1 Tim. 6:19
O Timotheus, keep the entrusted deposit, avoiding profane, vain babblings, and oppositions of false-named knowledge, 1 Tim. 6:20
of which some having made profession, have missed the faith. Grace be with thee. 1 Tim. 6:21
Paul, apostle of Jesus Christ by God's will, according to promise of life, the life which is in Christ Jesus, 2 Tim. 1:1
to Timotheus, my beloved child: grace, mercy, peace, from God the Father, and Christ Jesus our Lord. 2 Tim. 1:2
I am thankful to God, whom I serve from my forefathers with pure conscience, how unceasingly I have the remembrance of thee in my supplications night and day, 2 Tim. 1:3
calling to mind the unfeigned faith which has been in thee, which dwelt first in thy grandmother Lois, and in thy mother Eunice, and I am persuaded that in thee also. 2 Tim. 1:5
For which cause I put thee in mind to rekindle the gift of God which is in thee by the putting on of my hands. 2 Tim. 1:6
Be not therefore ashamed of the testimony of our Lord, nor of me his prisoner; but suffer evil along with the glad tidings, according to the power of God; 2 Tim. 1:8
who has saved us, and has called us with a holy calling, not according to our works, but according to his own purpose and grace, which was given to us in Christ Jesus before the ages of time, 2 Tim. 1:9
but has been made manifest now by the appearing of our Saviour Jesus Christ, who has annulled death, and brought to light life and incorruptibility by the glad tidings; 2 Tim. 1:10
to which *I* have been appointed a herald and apostle and teacher of the nations. 2 Tim. 1:11
For which cause also I suffer these things; but I am not ashamed; for I know whom I have believed, and am persuaded that he is able to keep for that day the deposit I have entrusted to him. 2 Tim. 1:12
Keep, by the Holy Spirit which dwells in us, the good deposit entrusted. 2 Tim. 1:14
The Lord grant mercy to the house of Onesiphorus, for he has often refreshed me, and has not been ashamed of my chain; 2 Tim. 1:16
the Lord grant to him to find mercy from the Lord in that day -- and how much service he rendered in Ephesus *thou* knowest best. 2 Tim. 1:18
Thou therefore, my child, be strong in the grace which is in Christ Jesus. 2 Tim. 2:1
And the things thou hast heard of me in the presence of many witnesses, these entrust to faithful men, such as shall be competent to instruct others also. 2 Tim. 2:2
No one going as a soldier entangles himself with the affairs of life, that he may please him who has enlisted him as a soldier. 2 Tim. 2:4
And if also any one contend in the games, he is not crowned unless he contend lawfully. 2 Tim. 2:5
The husbandman must labour before partaking of the fruits. 2 Tim. 2:6
Think of what I say, for the Lord will give thee understanding in all things. 2 Tim. 2:7
Remember Jesus Christ raised from among the dead, of the seed of David, according to my glad tidings, 2 Tim. 2:8
in which I suffer even unto bonds as an evil-doer: but the word of God is not bound. 2 Tim. 2:9
For this cause I endure all things for the sake of the elect, that *they* also may obtain the salvation which is in Christ Jesus with eternal glory. 2 Tim. 2:10
The word is faithful; for if we have died together with him, we shall also live together; 2 Tim. 2:11
Of these things put in remembrance, testifying earnestly before the Lord not to have disputes of words, profitable for nothing, to the subversion of the hearers. 2 Tim. 2:14
Strive diligently to present thyself approved to God, a workman that has not to be ashamed, cutting in a straight line the word of truth. 2 Tim. 2:15
men who as to the truth have gone astray, saying that the resurrection has taken place already; and overthrow the faith of some. 2 Tim. 2:18
Yet the firm foundation of God stands, having this seal, The Lord knows those that are his; and, Let every one who names the name of the Lord withdraw from iniquity. 2 Tim. 2:19
If therefore one shall have purified himself from these, in separating himself from them, he shall be a vessel to honour, sanctified, serviceable to the Master, prepared for every good work. 2 Tim. 2:21
But youthful lusts flee, and pursue righteousness, faith, love, peace, with those that call upon the Lord out of a pure heart. 2 Tim. 2:22
And a bondman of the Lord ought not to contend, but be gentle towards all; apt to teach; forbearing; 2 Tim. 2:24
in meekness setting right those who oppose, if God perhaps may sometime give them repentance to acknowledgment of the truth, 2 Tim. 2:25
and that they may awake up out of the snare of the devil, who are taken by him, for *his* will. 2 Tim. 2:26
But this know, that in the last days difficult times shall be there; 2 Tim. 3:1
having a form of piety but denying the power of it: and from these turn away. 2 Tim. 3:5
always learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth. 2 Tim. 3:7
Now in the same manner in which Jannes and Jambres withstood Moses, thus these also withstand the truth; men corrupted in mind, found worthless as regards the faith. 2 Tim. 3:8
persecutions, sufferings: what sufferings happened to me in Antioch, in Iconium, in Lystra; what persecutions I endured; and the Lord delivered me out of all. 2 Tim. 3:11
and that from a child thou hast known the sacred letters, which are able to make thee wise unto salvation, through faith which is in Christ Jesus. 2 Tim. 3:15
that the man of God may be complete, fully fitted to every good work. 2 Tim. 3:17
proclaim the word; be urgent in season and out of season, convict, rebuke, encourage, with all longsuffering and doctrine. 2 Tim. 4:2
For the time shall be when they will not bear sound teaching; but according to their own lusts will heap up to themselves teachers, having an itching ear; 2 Tim. 4:3
and they will turn away their ear from the truth, and will have turned aside to fables. 2 Tim. 4:4
But *thou*, be sober in all things, bear evils, do the work of an evangelist, fill up the full measure of thy ministry. 2 Tim. 4:5
For *I* am already being poured out, and the time of my release is come. 2 Tim. 4:6
I have combated the good combat, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith. 2 Tim. 4:7
Henceforth the crown of righteousness is laid up for me, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will render to me in that day; but not only to me, but also to all who love his appearing. 2 Tim. 4:8
for Demas has forsaken me, having loved the present age, and is gone to Thessalonica; Crescens to Galatia, Titus to Dalmatia. 2 Tim. 4:10
The cloak which I left behind me in Troas at Carpus's, bring when thou comest, and the books, especially the parchments. 2 Tim. 4:13
Alexander the smith did many evil things against me. The Lord will render to him according to his works. 2 Tim. 4:14
But the Lord stood with me, and gave me power, that through me the proclamation might be fully made, and all those of the nations should hear; and I was delivered out of the lion's mouth. 2 Tim. 4:17
The Lord shall deliver me from every wicked work, and shall preserve me for his heavenly kingdom; to whom be glory for the ages of ages. Amen. 2 Tim. 4:18
Salute Prisca and Aquila, and the house of Onesiphorus. 2 Tim. 4:19
Use diligence to come before winter. Eubulus salutes thee, and Pudens, and Linus, and Claudia, and the brethren all. 2 Tim. 4:21
The Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit. Grace be with you. 2 Tim. 4:22
Paul, bondman of God, and apostle of Jesus Christ according to the faith of God's elect, and knowledge of the truth which is according to piety; Tit. 1:1
in the hope of eternal life, which God, who cannot lie, promised before the ages of time, Tit. 1:2
but has manifested in its own due season his word, in the proclamation with which *I* have been entrusted, according to the commandment of our Saviour God; Tit. 1:3
to Titus, my own child according to the faith common to us: Grace and peace from God the Father, and Christ Jesus our Saviour. Tit. 1:4
For the overseer must be free from all charge against him as God's steward; not headstrong, not passionate, not disorderly through wine, not a striker, not seeking gain by base means; Tit. 1:7
clinging to the faithful word according to the doctrine taught, that he may be able both to encourage with sound teaching and refute gainsayers. Tit. 1:9
For there are many and disorderly vain speakers and deceivers of people's minds, specially those of the circumcision, Tit. 1:10
who must have their mouths stopped, who subvert whole houses, teaching things which ought not to be taught for the sake of base gain. Tit. 1:11
This testimony is true; for which cause rebuke them severely, that they may be sound in the faith, Tit. 1:13
not turning their minds to Jewish fables and commandments of men turning away from the truth. Tit. 1:14
All things are pure to the pure; but to the defiled and unbelieving nothing is pure; but both their mind and their conscience are defiled. Tit. 1:15
But do *thou* speak the things that become sound teaching; Tit. 2:1
that the elder men be sober, grave, discreet, sound in faith, in love, in patience; Tit. 2:2
that the elder women in like manner be in deportment as becoming those who have to say to sacred things, not slanderers, not enslaved to much wine, teachers of what is right; Tit. 2:3
that they may admonish the young women to be attached to their husbands, to be attached to their children, Tit. 2:4
discreet, chaste, diligent in home work, good, subject to their own husbands, that the word of God may not be evil spoken of. Tit. 2:5
The younger men in like manner exhort to be discreet: Tit. 2:6
not robbing their masters, but shewing all good fidelity, that they may adorn the teaching which is of our Saviour God in all things. Tit. 2:10
For the grace of God which carries with it salvation for all men has appeared, Tit. 2:11
teaching us that, having denied impiety and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, and justly, and piously in the present course of things, Tit. 2:12
awaiting the blessed hope and appearing of the glory of our great God and Saviour Jesus Christ; Tit. 2:13
But when the kindness and love to man of our Saviour God appeared, Tit. 3:4
not on the principle of works which have been done in righteousness which *we* had done, but according to his own mercy he saved us through the washing of regeneration and renewal of the Holy Spirit, Tit. 3:5
that, having been justified by *his* grace, we should become heirs according to the hope of eternal life. Tit. 3:7
The word is faithful, and I desire that thou insist strenuously on these things, that they who have believed God may take care to pay diligent attention to good works. These things are good and profitable to men. Tit. 3:8
But foolish questions, and genealogies, and strifes, and contentions about the law, shun; for they are unprofitable and vain. Tit. 3:9
Zenas the lawyer and Apollos set forward diligently on their way, that nothing may be lacking to them; Tit. 3:13
All with me salute thee. Salute those who love us in the faith. Grace be with you all. Tit. 3:15
Paul, prisoner of Christ Jesus, and Timotheus the brother, to Philemon the beloved and our fellow-workman, Ph'm 1:1
and to the sister Apphia and to Archippus our fellow-soldier, and to the assembly which is in thine house. Ph'm 1:2
Grace to you and peace from God our Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ. Ph'm 1:3
hearing of thy love and the faith which thou hast towards the Lord Jesus, and towards all the saints, Ph'm 1:5
in such sort that thy participation in the faith should become operative in the acknowledgment of every good thing which is in us towards Christ Jesus. Ph'm 1:6
For we have great thankfulness and encouragement through thy love, because the bowels of the saints are refreshed by thee, brother. Ph'm 1:7
for love's sake I rather exhort, being such a one as Paul the aged, and now also prisoner of Jesus Christ. Ph'm 1:9
whom *I* was desirous of keeping with myself, that for thee he might minister to me in the bonds of the glad tidings; Ph'm 1:13
not any longer as a bondman, but above a bondman, a beloved brother, specially to me, and how much rather to thee, both in the flesh and in the Lord? Ph'm 1:16
Yea, brother, *I* would have profit of *thee* in the Lord: refresh my bowels in Christ. Ph'm 1:20
The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit. Ph'm 1:25
God having spoken in many parts and in many ways formerly to the fathers in the prophets, Heb. 1:1
at the end of these days has spoken to us in the person of the Son, whom he has established heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds; Heb. 1:2
who being the effulgence of his glory and the expression of his substance, and upholding all things by the word of his power, having made by himself the purification of sins, set himself down on the right hand of the greatness on high, Heb. 1:3
taking a place by so much better than the angels, as he inherits a name more excellent than they. Heb. 1:4
For to which of the angels said he ever, *Thou* art my Son: this day have *I* begotten thee? and again, *I* will be to him for father, and *he* shall be to me for son? Heb. 1:5
and again, when he brings in the firstborn into the habitable world, he says, And let all God's angels worship him. Heb. 1:6
And as to the angels he says, Who makes his angels spirits and his ministers a flame of fire; Heb. 1:7
but as to the Son, Thy throne, O God, is to the age of the age, and a sceptre of uprightness is the sceptre of thy kingdom. Heb. 1:8
And, *Thou* in the beginning, Lord, hast founded the earth, and works of thy hands are the heavens. Heb. 1:10
and as a covering shalt thou roll them up, and they shall be changed; but *thou* art the Same, and thy years shall not fail. Heb. 1:12
But as to which of the angels said he ever, Sit at my right hand until I put thine enemies as footstool of thy feet? Heb. 1:13
For this reason we should give heed more abundantly to the things we have heard, lest in any way we should slip away. Heb. 2:1
For if the word which was spoken by angels was firm, and every transgression and disobedience received just retribution, Heb. 2:2
how shall *we* escape if we have been negligent of so great salvation, which, having had its commencement in being spoken of by the Lord, has been confirmed to us by those who have heard; Heb. 2:3
God bearing, besides, witness with them to it, both by signs and wonders, and various acts of power, and distributions of the Holy Spirit, according to his will? Heb. 2:4
For he has not subjected to angels the habitable world which is to come, of which we speak; Heb. 2:5
Thou hast made him some little inferior to the angels; thou hast crowned him with glory and honour, and hast set him over the works of thy hands; Heb. 2:7
but we see Jesus, who was made some little inferior to angels on account of the suffering of death, crowned with glory and honour; so that by the grace of God he should taste death for every thing. Heb. 2:9
For it became him, for whom are all things, and by whom are all things, in bringing many sons to glory, to make perfect the leader of their salvation through sufferings. Heb. 2:10
saying, I will declare thy name to my brethren; in the midst of the assembly will I sing thy praises. Heb. 2:12
And again, I will trust in him. And again, Behold, I and the children which God has given me. Heb. 2:13
Since therefore the children partake of blood and flesh, he also, in like manner, took part in the same, that through death he might annul him who has the might of death, that is, the devil; Heb. 2:14
and might set free all those who through fear of death through the whole of their life were subject to bondage. Heb. 2:15
For he does not indeed take hold of angels by the hand, but he takes hold of the seed of Abraham. Heb. 2:16
Wherefore it behoved him in all things to be made like to his brethren, that he might be a merciful and faithful high priest in things relating to God, to make propitiation for the sins of the people; Heb. 2:17
Wherefore, holy brethren, partakers of the heavenly calling, consider the Apostle and High Priest of our confession, Jesus, Heb. 3:1
For *he* has been counted worthy of greater glory than Moses, by how much he that has built it has more honour than the house. Heb. 3:3
And Moses indeed was faithful in all his house, as a ministering servant, for a testimony of the things to be spoken after; Heb. 3:5
but Christ, as Son over his house, whose house are *we*, if indeed we hold fast the boldness and the boast of hope firm to the end. Heb. 3:6
Wherefore, even as says the Holy Spirit, To-day if ye will hear his voice, Heb. 3:7
harden not your hearts, as in the provocation, in the day of temptation in the wilderness; Heb. 3:8
See, brethren, lest there be in any one of you a wicked heart of unbelief, in turning away from the living God. Heb. 3:12
But encourage yourselves each day, as long as it is called To-day, that none of you be hardened by the deceitfulness of sin. Heb. 3:13
For we are become companions of the Christ if indeed we hold the beginning of the assurance firm to the end; Heb. 3:14
in that it is said, To-day if ye will hear his voice, do not harden your hearts, as in the provocation; Heb. 3:15
And with whom was he wroth forty years? Was it not with those who had sinned, whose carcases fell in the wilderness? Heb. 3:17
And to whom sware he that they should not enter into his rest, but to those who had not hearkened to the word? Heb. 3:18
For indeed we have had glad tidings presented to us, even as they also; but the word of the report did not profit *them*, not being mixed with faith in those who heard. Heb. 4:2
For we enter into the rest who have believed; as he said, As I have sworn in my wrath, If they shall enter into my rest; although the works had been completed from the foundation of the world. Heb. 4:3
For he has said somewhere of the seventh day thus, And God rested on the seventh day from all his works: Heb. 4:4
Seeing therefore it remains that some enter into it, and those who first received the glad tidings did not enter in on account of not hearkening to the word, Heb. 4:6
There remains then a sabbatism to the people of God. Heb. 4:9
Let us therefore use diligence to enter into that rest, that no one may fall after the same example of not hearkening to the word. Heb. 4:11
For the word of God is living and operative, and sharper than any two-edged sword, and penetrating to the division of soul and spirit, both of joints and marrow, and a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart. Heb. 4:12
Having therefore a great high priest who has passed through the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast the confession. Heb. 4:14
Let us approach therefore with boldness to the throne of grace, that we may receive mercy, and find grace for seasonable help. Heb. 4:16
being able to exercise forbearance towards the ignorant and erring, since he himself also is clothed with infirmity; Heb. 5:2
and, on account of this infirmity, he ought, even as for the people, so also for himself, to offer for sins. Heb. 5:3
And no one takes the honour to himself but as called by God, even as Aaron also. Heb. 5:4
Thus the Christ also has not glorified himself to be made a high priest; but he who had said to him, *Thou* art my Son, *I* have to-day begotten thee. Heb. 5:5
Even as also in another place he says, *Thou* art a priest for ever according to the order of Melchisedec. Heb. 5:6
Who in the days of his flesh, having offered up both supplications and entreaties to him who was able to save him out of death, with strong crying and tears; (and having been heard because of his piety;) Heb. 5:7
though he were Son, he learned obedience from the things which he suffered; Heb. 5:8
addressed by God as high priest according to the order of Melchisedec. Heb. 5:10
For when for the time ye ought to be teachers, ye have again need that one should teach you what are the elements of the beginning of the oracles of God, and are become such as have need of milk, and not of solid food. Heb. 5:12
For every one that partakes of milk is unskilled in the word of righteousness, for he is a babe; Heb. 5:13
Wherefore, leaving the word of the beginning of the Christ, let us go on to what belongs to full growth, not laying again a foundation of repentance from dead works and faith in God, Heb. 6:1
of the doctrine of washings, and of imposition of hands, and of resurrection of the dead, and of eternal judgment; Heb. 6:2
For it is impossible to renew again to repentance those once enlightened, and who have tasted of the heavenly gift, and have been made partakers of the Holy Spirit, Heb. 6:4
and have tasted the good word of God, and the works of power of the age to come, Heb. 6:5
and have fallen away, crucifying for themselves as they do the Son of God, and making a show of him. Heb. 6:6
For ground which drinks the rain which comes often upon it, and produces useful herbs for those for whose sakes also it is tilled, partakes of blessing from God; Heb. 6:7
For God is not unrighteous to forget your work, and the love which ye have shewn to his name, having ministered to the saints, and still ministering. Heb. 6:10
But we desire earnestly that each one of you shew the same diligence to the full assurance of hope unto the end; Heb. 6:11
that ye be not sluggish, but imitators of those who through faith and patience have been inheritors of the promises. Heb. 6:12
and thus, having had long patience, he got the promise. Heb. 6:15
For men indeed swear by a greater, and with them the oath is a term to all dispute, as making matters sure. Heb. 6:16
Wherein God, willing to shew more abundantly to the heirs of the promise the unchangeableness of his purpose, intervened by an oath, Heb. 6:17
that by two unchangeable things, in which it was impossible that God should lie, we might have a strong encouragement, who have fled for refuge to lay hold on the hope set before us, Heb. 6:18
which we have as anchor of the soul, both secure and firm, and entering into that within the veil, Heb. 6:19
where Jesus is entered as forerunner for us, become for ever a high priest according to the order of Melchisedec. Heb. 6:20
For this Melchisedec, King of Salem, priest of the most high God, who met Abraham returning from smiting the kings, and blessed him; Heb. 7:1
to whom Abraham gave also the tenth portion of all; first being interpreted King of righteousness, and then also King of Salem, which is King of peace; Heb. 7:2
without father, without mother, without genealogy; having neither beginning of days nor end of life, but assimilated to the Son of God, abides a priest continually. Heb. 7:3
Now consider how great this personage was, to whom even the patriarch Abraham gave a tenth out of the spoils. Heb. 7:4
And they indeed from among the sons of Levi, who receive the priesthood, have commandment to take tithes from the people according to the law, that is from their brethren, though these are come out of the loins of Abraham: Heb. 7:5
but he who has no genealogy from them has tithed Abraham, and blessed him who had the promises. Heb. 7:6
But beyond all gainsaying, the inferior is blessed by the better. Heb. 7:7
And here dying men receive tithes; but there one of whom the witness is that he lives; Heb. 7:8
For he was yet in the loins of his father when Melchisedec met him. Heb. 7:10
If indeed then perfection were by the Levitical priesthood, for the people had their law given to them in connexion with *it*, what need was there still that a different priest should arise according to the order of Melchisedec, and not be named after the order of Aaron? Heb. 7:11
For, the priesthood being changed, there takes place of necessity a change of law also. Heb. 7:12
For he, of whom these things are said, belongs to a different tribe, of which no one has ever been attached to the service of the altar. Heb. 7:13
And it is yet more abundantly evident, since a different priest arises according to the similitude of Melchisedec, Heb. 7:15
For it is borne witness, *Thou* art a priest for ever according to the order of Melchisedec. Heb. 7:17
For there is a setting aside of the commandment going before for its weakness and unprofitableness, Heb. 7:18
(for the law perfected nothing,) and the introduction of a better hope by which we draw nigh to God. Heb. 7:19
And by how much it was not without the swearing of an oath; Heb. 7:20
(for they are become priests without the swearing of an oath, but he with the swearing of an oath, by him who said, as to him, The Lord has sworn, and will not repent of it, *Thou* art priest for ever according to the order of Melchisedec;) Heb. 7:21
but he, because of his continuing for ever, has the priesthood unchangeable. Heb. 7:24
For such a high priest became us, holy, harmless, undefiled, separated from sinners, and become higher than the heavens: Heb. 7:26
who has not day by day need, as the high priests, first to offer up sacrifices for his own sins, then for those of the people; for this he did once for all in having offered up himself. Heb. 7:27
For the law constitutes men high priests, having infirmity; but the word of the swearing of the oath which is after the law, a Son perfected for ever. Heb. 7:28
Now a summary of the things of which we are speaking is, We have such a one high priest who has sat down on the right hand of the throne of the greatness in the heavens; Heb. 8:1
minister of the holy places and of the true tabernacle, which the Lord has pitched, and not man. Heb. 8:2
For every high priest is constituted for the offering both of gifts and sacrifices; whence it is needful that this one also should have something which he may offer. Heb. 8:3
If then indeed he were upon earth, he would not even be a priest, there being those who offer the gifts according to the law, Heb. 8:4
(who serve the representation and shadow of heavenly things, according as Moses was oracularly told when about to make the tabernacle; for See, saith He, that thou make all things according to the pattern which has been shewn to thee in the mountain.) Heb. 8:5
But now he has got a more excellent ministry, by so much as he is mediator of a better covenant, which is established on the footing of better promises. Heb. 8:6
For finding fault, he says to them, Behold, days come, saith the Lord, and I will consummate a new covenant as regards the house of Israel, and as regards the house of Juda; Heb. 8:8
not according to the covenant which I made to their fathers in the day of my taking their hand to lead them out of the land of Egypt; because *they* did not continue in my covenant, and *I* did not regard them, saith the Lord. Heb. 8:9
Because this is the covenant that I will covenant to the house of Israel after those days, saith the Lord: Giving my laws into their mind, I will write them also upon their hearts; and I will be to them for God, and *they* shall be to me for people. Heb. 8:10
And they shall not teach each his fellow-citizen, and each his brother, saying, Know the Lord; because all shall know me in themselves, from the little one among them unto the great among them. Heb. 8:11
In that he says New, he has made the first old; but that which grows old and aged is near disappearing. Heb. 8:13
The first therefore also indeed had ordinances of service, and the sanctuary, a worldly one. Heb. 9:1
For a tabernacle was set up; the first, in which were both the candlestick and the table and the exposition of the loaves, which is called Holy; Heb. 9:2
but after the second veil a tabernacle which is called Holy of holies, Heb. 9:3
having a golden censer, and the ark of the covenant, covered round in every part with gold, in which were the golden pot that had the manna, and the rod of Aaron that had sprouted, and the tables of the covenant; Heb. 9:4
and above over it the cherubim of glory shadowing the mercy-seat; concerning which it is not now the time to speak in detail. Heb. 9:5
Now these things being thus ordered, into the first tabernacle the priests enter at all times, accomplishing the services; Heb. 9:6
but into the second, the high priest only, once a year, not without blood, which he offers for himself and for the errors of the people: Heb. 9:7
the Holy Spirit shewing this, that the way of the holy of holies has not yet been made manifest while as yet the first tabernacle has its standing; Heb. 9:8
the which is an image for the present time, according to which both gifts and sacrifices, unable to perfect as to conscience him that worshipped, are offered, Heb. 9:9
consisting only of meats and drinks and divers washings, ordinances of flesh, imposed until the time of setting things right. Heb. 9:10
But Christ being come high priest of the good things to come, by the better and more perfect tabernacle not made with hand, (that is, not of this creation,) Heb. 9:11
nor by blood of goats and calves, but by his own blood, has entered in once for all into the holy of holies, having found an eternal redemption. Heb. 9:12
For if the blood of goats and bulls, and a heifer's ashes sprinkling the defiled, sanctifies for the purity of the flesh, Heb. 9:13
how much rather shall the blood of the Christ, who by the eternal Spirit offered himself spotless to God, purify your conscience from dead works to worship the living God? Heb. 9:14
And for this reason he is mediator of a new covenant, so that, death having taken place for redemption of the transgressions under the first covenant, the called might receive the promise of the eternal inheritance. Heb. 9:15
(For where there is a testament, the death of the testator must needs come in. Heb. 9:16
For a testament is of force when men are dead, since it is in no way of force while the testator is alive.) Heb. 9:17
Whence neither the first was inaugurated without blood. Heb. 9:18
For every commandment having been spoken according to the law by Moses to all the people; having taken the blood of calves and goats, with water and scarlet wool and hyssop, he sprinkled both the book itself and all the people, Heb. 9:19
saying, This is the blood of the covenant which God has enjoined to you. Heb. 9:20
And the tabernacle too and all the vessels of service he sprinkled in like manner with blood; Heb. 9:21
and almost all things are purified with blood according to the law, and without blood-shedding there is no remission. Heb. 9:22
It was necessary then that the figurative representations of the things in the heavens should be purified with these; but the heavenly things themselves with sacrifices better than these. Heb. 9:23
For the Christ is not entered into holy places made with hand, figures of the true, but into heaven itself, now to appear before the face of God for us: Heb. 9:24
nor in order that he should offer himself often, as the high priest enters into the holy places every year with blood not his own; Heb. 9:25
since he had then been obliged often to suffer from the foundation of the world. But now once in the consummation of the ages he has been manifested for the putting away of sin by his sacrifice. Heb. 9:26
And forasmuch as it is the portion of men once to die, and after this judgment; Heb. 9:27
thus the Christ also, having been once offered to bear the sins of many, shall appear to those that look for him the second time without sin for salvation. Heb. 9:28
For the law, having a shadow of the coming good things, not the image itself of the things, can never, by the same sacrifices which they offer continually yearly, perfect those who approach. Heb. 10:1
Since, would they not indeed have ceased being offered, on account of the worshippers once purged having no longer any conscience of sins? Heb. 10:2
Wherefore coming into the world he says, Sacrifice and offering thou willedst not; but thou hast prepared me a body. Heb. 10:5
Then I said, Lo, I come (in the roll of the book it is written of me) to do, O God, thy will. Heb. 10:7
Above, saying Sacrifices and offerings and burnt-offerings and sacrifices for sin thou willedst not, neither tookest pleasure in (which are offered according to the law); Heb. 10:8
then he said, Lo, I come to do thy will. He takes away the first that he may establish the second; Heb. 10:9
by which will we have been sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all. Heb. 10:10
And every priest stands daily ministering, and offering often the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins. Heb. 10:11
But *he*, having offered one sacrifice for sins, sat down in perpetuity at the right hand of God, Heb. 10:12
waiting from henceforth until his enemies be set for the footstool of his feet. Heb. 10:13
For by one offering he has perfected in perpetuity the sanctified. Heb. 10:14
And the Holy Spirit also bears us witness of it; for after what was said: Heb. 10:15
This is the covenant which I will establish towards them after those days, saith the Lord: Giving my laws into their hearts, I will write them also in their understandings; Heb. 10:16
Having therefore, brethren, boldness for entering into the holy of holies by the blood of Jesus, Heb. 10:19
the new and living way which he has dedicated for us through the veil, that is, his flesh, Heb. 10:20
and having a great priest over the house of God, Heb. 10:21
Let us hold fast the confession of the hope unwavering, (for he is faithful who has promised;) Heb. 10:23
not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the custom is with some; but encouraging one another, and by so much the more as ye see the day drawing near. Heb. 10:25
For where we sin wilfully after receiving the knowledge of the truth, there no longer remains any sacrifice for sins, Heb. 10:26
but a certain fearful expectation of judgment, and heat of fire about to devour the adversaries. Heb. 10:27
Any one that has disregarded Moses' law dies without mercy on the testimony of two or three witnesses: Heb. 10:28
of how much worse punishment, think ye, shall he be judged worthy who has trodden under foot the Son of God, and esteemed the blood of the covenant, whereby he has been sanctified, common, and has insulted the Spirit of grace? Heb. 10:29
For we know him that said, To me belongs vengeance; *I* will recompense, saith the Lord: and again, The Lord shall judge his people. Heb. 10:30
It is a fearful thing falling into the hands of the living God. Heb. 10:31
But call to mind the earlier days in which, having been enlightened, ye endured much conflict of sufferings; Heb. 10:32
on the one hand, when ye were made a spectacle both in reproaches and afflictions; and on the other, when ye became partakers with those who were passing through them. Heb. 10:33
For ye both sympathised with prisoners and accepted with joy the plunder of your goods, knowing that ye have for yourselves a better substance, and an abiding one. Heb. 10:34
For ye have need of endurance in order that, having done the will of God, ye may receive the promise. Heb. 10:36
But the just shall live by faith; and, if he draw back, my soul does not take pleasure in him. Heb. 10:38
But *we* are not drawers back to perdition, but of faith to saving the soul. Heb. 10:39
Now faith is the substantiating of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen. Heb. 11:1
For in the power of this the elders have obtained testimony. Heb. 11:2
By faith we apprehend that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that that which is seen should not take its origin from things which appear. Heb. 11:3
By faith Enoch was translated that he should not see death; and was not found, because God had translated him; for before his translation he has the testimony that he had pleased God. Heb. 11:5
By faith, Noah, oracularly warned concerning things not yet seen, moved with fear, prepared an ark for the saving of his house; by which he condemned the world, and became heir of the righteousness which is according to faith. Heb. 11:7
By faith Abraham, being called, obeyed to go out into the place which he was to receive for an inheritance, and went out, not knowing where he was going. Heb. 11:8
By faith he sojourned as a stranger in the land of promise as a foreign country, having dwelt in tents with Isaac and Jacob, the heirs with him of the same promise; Heb. 11:9
for he waited for the city which has foundations, of which God is the artificer and constructor. Heb. 11:10
By faith also Sarah herself received strength for the conception of seed, and that beyond a seasonable age; since she counted him faithful who promised. Heb. 11:11
Wherefore also there have been born of one, and that of one become dead, even as the stars of heaven in multitude, and as the countless sand which is by the sea shore. Heb. 11:12
All these died in faith, not having received the promises, but having seen them from afar off and embraced them, and confessed that they were strangers and sojourners on the earth. Heb. 11:13
By faith Abraham, when tried, offered up Isaac, and he who had received to himself the promises offered up his only begotten son, Heb. 11:17
counting that God was able to raise him even from among the dead, whence also he received him in a figure. Heb. 11:19
By faith Jacob when dying blessed each of the sons of Joseph, and worshipped on the top of his staff. Heb. 11:21
By faith Joseph when dying called to mind the going forth of the sons of Israel, and gave commandment concerning his bones. Heb. 11:22
By faith Moses, being born, was hid three months by his parents, because they saw the child beautiful; and they did not fear the injunction of the king. Heb. 11:23
choosing rather to suffer affliction along with the people of God than to have the temporary pleasure of sin; Heb. 11:25
esteeming the reproach of the Christ greater riches than the treasures of Egypt, for he had respect to the recompense. Heb. 11:26
By faith he left Egypt, not fearing the wrath of the king; for he persevered, as seeing him who is invisible. Heb. 11:27
By faith he celebrated the passover and the sprinkling of the blood, that the destroyer of the firstborn might not touch them. Heb. 11:28
By faith they passed through the Red sea as through dry land; of which the Egyptians having made trial were swallowed up. Heb. 11:29
By faith the walls of Jericho fell, having been encircled for seven days. Heb. 11:30
By faith Rahab the harlot did not perish along with the unbelieving, having received the spies in peace. Heb. 11:31
And what more do I say? For the time would fail me telling of Gideon, and Barak, and Samson, and Jephthah, and David and Samuel, and of the prophets: Heb. 11:32
quenched the power of fire, escaped the edge of the sword, became strong out of weakness, became mighty in war, made the armies of strangers give way. Heb. 11:34
They were stoned, were sawn asunder, were tempted, died by the death of the sword; they went about in sheepskins, in goatskins, destitute, afflicted, evil treated, Heb. 11:37
(of whom the world was not worthy,) wandering in deserts and mountains, and in dens and caverns of the earth. Heb. 11:38
And these all, having obtained witness through faith, did not receive the promise, Heb. 11:39
Let *us* also therefore, having so great a cloud of witnesses surrounding us, laying aside every weight, and sin which so easily entangles us, run with endurance the race that lies before us, Heb. 12:1
looking stedfastly on Jesus the leader and completer of faith: who, in view of the joy lying before him, endured the cross, having despised the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God. Heb. 12:2
And ye have quite forgotten the exhortation which speaks to you as to sons: My son, despise not the chastening of the Lord, nor faint when reproved by him; Heb. 12:5
for whom the Lord loves he chastens, and scourges every son whom he receives. Heb. 12:6
Ye endure for chastening, God conducts himself towards you as towards sons; for who is the son that the father chastens not? Heb. 12:7
Moreover we have had the fathers of our flesh as chasteners, and we reverenced them; shall we not much rather be in subjection to the Father of spirits, and live? Heb. 12:9
For they indeed chastened for a few days, as seemed good to them; but he for profit, in order to the partaking of his holiness. Heb. 12:10
But no chastening at the time seems to be matter of joy, but of grief; but afterwards yields the peaceful fruit of righteousness to those exercised by it. Heb. 12:11
Wherefore lift up the hands that hang down, and the failing knees; Heb. 12:12
Pursue peace with all, and holiness, without which no one shall see the Lord: Heb. 12:14
watching lest there be any one who lacks the grace of God; lest any root of bitterness springing up trouble you, and many be defiled by it; Heb. 12:15
for ye know that also afterwards, desiring to inherit the blessing, he was rejected, (for he found no place for repentance) although he sought it earnestly with tears. Heb. 12:17
For ye have not come to the mount that might be touched and was all on fire, and to obscurity, and darkness, and tempest, Heb. 12:18
and trumpet's sound, and voice of words; which they that heard, excusing themselves, declined the word being addressed to them any more: Heb. 12:19
(for they were not able to bear what was enjoined: And if a beast should touch the mountain, it shall be stoned; Heb. 12:20
and, so fearful was the sight, Moses said, I am exceedingly afraid and full of trembling;) Heb. 12:21
but ye have come to mount Zion; and to the city of the living God, heavenly Jerusalem; and to myriads of angels, Heb. 12:22
the universal gathering; and to the assembly of the firstborn who are registered in heaven; and to God, judge of all; and to the spirits of just men made perfect; Heb. 12:23
and to Jesus, mediator of a new covenant; and to the blood of sprinkling, speaking better than Abel. Heb. 12:24
See that ye refuse not him that speaks. For if those did not escape who had refused him who uttered the oracles on earth, much more we who turn away from him who does so from heaven: Heb. 12:25
whose voice then shook the earth; but now he has promised, saying, Yet once will *I* shake not only the earth, but also the heaven. Heb. 12:26
But this Yet once, signifies the removing of what is shaken, as being made, that what is not shaken may remain. Heb. 12:27
Remember prisoners, as bound with them; those that are evil-treated, as being yourselves also in the body. Heb. 13:3
Let marriage be held every way in honour, and the bed be undefiled; for fornicators and adulterers will God judge. Heb. 13:4
So that, taking courage, we may say, The Lord is my helper, and I will not be afraid: what will man do unto me? Heb. 13:6
Remember your leaders who have spoken to you the word of God; and considering the issue of their conversation, imitate their faith. Heb. 13:7
Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, and to-day, and to the ages to come. Heb. 13:8
Be not carried away with various and strange doctrines; for it is good that the heart be confirmed with grace, not meats; those who have walked in which have not been profited by them. Heb. 13:9
We have an altar of which they have no right to eat who serve the tabernacle; Heb. 13:10
for of those beasts whose blood is carried as sacrifices for sin into the holy of holies by the high priest, of these the bodies are burned outside the camp. Heb. 13:11
Wherefore also Jesus, that he might sanctify the people by his own blood, suffered without the gate: Heb. 13:12
therefore let us go forth to him without the camp, bearing his reproach: Heb. 13:13
for we have not here an abiding city, but we seek the coming one. Heb. 13:14
By him therefore let us offer the sacrifice of praise continually to God, that is, the fruit of the lips confessing his name. Heb. 13:15
But I much more beseech you to do this, that I may the more quickly be restored to you. Heb. 13:19
But the God of peace, who brought again from among the dead our Lord Jesus, the great shepherd of the sheep, in the power of the blood of the eternal covenant, Heb. 13:20
perfect you in every good work to the doing of his will, doing in you what is pleasing before him through Jesus Christ; to whom be glory for the ages of ages. Amen. Heb. 13:21
But I beseech you, brethren, bear the word of exhortation, for it is but in few words that I have written to you. Heb. 13:22
Salute all your leaders, and all the saints. They from Italy salute you. Heb. 13:24
James, bondman of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ, to the twelve tribes which are in the dispersion, greeting. Jas. 1:1
knowing that the proving of your faith works endurance. Jas. 1:3
but let him ask in faith, nothing doubting. For he that doubts is like a wave of the sea driven by the wind and tossed about; Jas. 1:6
for let not that man think that he shall receive anything from the Lord; Jas. 1:7
But let the brother of low degree glory in his elevation, Jas. 1:9
and the rich in his humiliation, because as the grass's flower he will pass away. Jas. 1:10
For the sun has risen with its burning heat, and has withered the grass, and its flower has fallen, and the comeliness of its look has perished: thus the rich also shall wither in his goings. Jas. 1:11
Blessed is the man who endures temptation; for, having been proved, he shall receive the crown of life, which He has promised to them that love him. Jas. 1:12
Every good gift and every perfect gift comes down from above, from the Father of lights, with whom is no variation nor shadow of turning. Jas. 1:17
According to his own will begat he us by the word of truth, that we should be a certain first-fruits of *his* creatures. Jas. 1:18
Wherefore, laying aside all filthiness and abounding of wickedness, accept with meekness the implanted word, which is able to save your souls. Jas. 1:21
But be ye doers of the word and not hearers only, beguiling yourselves. Jas. 1:22
For if any man be a hearer of the word and not a doer, *he* is like to a man considering his natural face in a mirror: Jas. 1:23
But *he* that fixes his view on the perfect law, that of liberty, and abides in it, being not a forgetful hearer but a doer of the work, *he* shall be blessed in his doing. Jas. 1:25
Pure and undefiled religion before God and the Father is this: to visit orphans and widows in their affliction, to keep oneself unspotted from the world. Jas. 1:27
My brethren, do not have the faith of our Lord Jesus Christ, Lord of glory, with respect of persons: Jas. 2:1
and ye look upon him who wears the splendid apparel, and say, Do thou sit here well, and say to the poor, Do thou stand there, or sit here under my footstool: Jas. 2:3
Hear, my beloved brethren: Has not God chosen the poor as to the world, rich in faith, and heirs of the kingdom, which he has promised to them that love him? Jas. 2:5
But *ye* have despised the poor man. Do not the rich oppress you, and do not *they* drag you before the tribunals? Jas. 2:6
And do not *they* blaspheme the excellent name which has been called upon you? Jas. 2:7
If indeed ye keep the royal law according to the scripture, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself, ye do well. Jas. 2:8
But if ye have respect of persons, ye commit sin, being convicted by the law as transgressors. Jas. 2:9
For whoever shall keep the whole law and shall offend in one point, he has come under the guilt of breaking all. Jas. 2:10
For he who said, Thou shalt not commit adultery, said also, Thou shalt not kill. Now if thou dost not commit adultery, but killest, thou art become transgressor of the law. Jas. 2:11
So speak ye, and so act, as those that are to be judged by the law of liberty; Jas. 2:12
What is the profit, my brethren, if any one say he have faith, but have not works? can faith save him? Jas. 2:14
and one from amongst you say to them, Go in peace, be warmed and filled; but give not to them the needful things for the body, what is the profit? Jas. 2:16
*Thou* believest that God is one. Thou doest well. The demons even believe, and tremble. Jas. 2:19
Was not Abraham our father justified by works when he had offered Isaac his son upon the altar? Jas. 2:21
And the scripture was fulfilled which says, Abraham believed God, and it was reckoned to him as righteousness, and he was called Friend of God. Jas. 2:23
Ye see that a man is justified on the principle of works, and not on the principle of faith only. Jas. 2:24
But was not in like manner also Rahab the harlot justified on the principle of works, when she had received the messengers and put them forth by another way? Jas. 2:25
For as the body without a spirit is dead, so also faith without works is dead. Jas. 2:26
For we all often offend. If any one offend not in word, *he* is a perfect man, able to bridle the whole body too. Jas. 3:2
Behold, we put the bits in the mouths of the horses, that they may obey us, and we turn round their whole bodies. Jas. 3:3
Behold also the ships, which are so great, and driven by violent winds, are turned about by a very small rudder, wherever the pleasure of the helmsman will. Jas. 3:4
Thus also the tongue is a little member, and boasts great things. See how little a fire, how large a wood it kindles! Jas. 3:5
and the tongue is fire, the world of unrighteousness; the tongue is set in our members, the defiler of the whole body, and which sets fire to the course of nature, and is set on fire of hell. Jas. 3:6
For every species both of beasts and of birds, both of creeping things and of sea animals, is tamed and has been tamed by the human species; Jas. 3:7
but the tongue can no one among men tame; it is an unsettled evil, full of death-bringing poison. Jas. 3:8
Therewith bless we the Lord and Father, and therewith curse we men made after the likeness of God. Jas. 3:9
Out of the same mouth goes forth blessing and cursing. It is not right, my brethren, that these things should be thus. Jas. 3:10
Does the fountain, out of the same opening, pour forth sweet and bitter? Jas. 3:11
but if ye have bitter emulation and strife in your hearts, do not boast and lie against the truth. Jas. 3:14
This is not the wisdom which comes down from above, but earthly, natural, devilish. Jas. 3:15
But the wisdom from above first is pure, then peaceful, gentle, yielding, full of mercy and good fruits, unquestioning, unfeigned. Jas. 3:17
But the fruit of righteousness in peace is sown for them that make peace. Jas. 3:18
Adulteresses, know ye not that friendship with the world is enmity with God? Whoever therefore is minded to be the friend of the world is constituted enemy of God. Jas. 4:4
Think ye that the scripture speaks in vain? Does the Spirit which has taken his abode in us desire enviously? Jas. 4:5
But he gives more grace. Wherefore he says, God sets himself against the proud, but gives grace to the lowly. Jas. 4:6
Subject yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. Jas. 4:7
Humble yourselves before the Lord, and he shall exalt you. Jas. 4:10
Speak not against one another, brethren. He that speaks against his brother, or judges his brother, speaks against the law and judges the law. But if thou judgest the law, thou art not doer of the law, but judge. Jas. 4:11
One is the lawgiver and judge, who is able to save and to destroy: but who art *thou* who judgest thy neighbour? Jas. 4:12
ye who do not know what will be on the morrow, (for what is your life? It is even a vapour, appearing for a little while, and then disappearing,) Jas. 4:14
instead of your saying, If the Lord should so will and we should live, we will also do this or that. Jas. 4:15
Your gold and silver is eaten away, and their canker shall be for a witness against you, and shall eat your flesh as fire. Ye have heaped up treasure in the last days. Jas. 5:3
Behold, the wages of your labourers, who have harvested your fields, wrongfully kept back by you, cry, and the cries of those that have reaped are entered into the ears of the Lord of sabaoth. Jas. 5:4
Ye have lived luxuriously on the earth and indulged yourselves; ye have nourished your hearts as in a day of slaughter; Jas. 5:5
ye have condemned, ye have killed the just; he does not resist you. Jas. 5:6
Have patience, therefore, brethren, till the coming of the Lord. Behold, the labourer awaits the precious fruit of the earth, having patience for it until it receive the early and the latter rain. Jas. 5:7
*Ye* also have patience: stablish your hearts, for the coming of the Lord is drawn nigh. Jas. 5:8
Complain not one against another, brethren, that ye be not judged. Behold, the judge stands before the door. Jas. 5:9
Take as an example, brethren, of suffering and having patience, the prophets, who have spoken in the name of the Lord. Jas. 5:10
Behold, we call them blessed who have endured. Ye have heard of the endurance of Job, and seen the end of the Lord; that the Lord is full of tender compassion and pitiful. Jas. 5:11
But before all things, my brethren, swear not, neither by heaven, nor by the earth, nor by any other oath; but let your yea be yea, and your nay, nay, that ye do not fall under judgment. Jas. 5:12
Is any sick among you? let him call to him the elders of the assembly, and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord; Jas. 5:14
and the prayer of faith shall heal the sick, and the Lord shall raise him up; and if he be one who has committed sins, it shall be forgiven him. Jas. 5:15
Confess therefore your offences to one another, and pray for one another, that ye may be healed. The fervent supplication of the righteous man has much power. Jas. 5:16
Elias was a man of like passions to us, and he prayed with prayer that it should not rain; and it did not rain upon the earth three years and six months; Jas. 5:17
and again he prayed, and the heaven gave rain, and the earth caused its fruit to spring forth. Jas. 5:18
My brethren, if any one among you err from the truth, and one bring him back, Jas. 5:19
let him know that he that brings back a sinner from the error of his way shall save a soul from death and shall cover a multitude of sins. Jas. 5:20
Peter, apostle of Jesus Christ, to the sojourners of the dispersion of Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Asia, and Bithynia, 1 Pet. 1:1
elect according to the foreknowledge of God the Father, by sanctification of the Spirit, unto the obedience and sprinkling of the blood of Jesus Christ: Grace to you and peace be multiplied. 1 Pet. 1:2
Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who, according to his great mercy, has begotten us again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from among the dead, 1 Pet. 1:3
to an incorruptible and undefiled and unfading inheritance, reserved in the heavens for you, 1 Pet. 1:4
who are kept guarded by the power of God through faith for salvation ready to be revealed in the last time. 1 Pet. 1:5
that the proving of your faith, much more precious than of gold which perishes, though it be proved by fire, be found to praise and glory and honour in the revelation of Jesus Christ: 1 Pet. 1:7
whom, having not seen, ye love; on whom though not now looking, but believing, ye exult with joy unspeakable and filled with the glory, 1 Pet. 1:8
receiving the end of your faith, the salvation of your souls. 1 Pet. 1:9
Concerning which salvation prophets, who have prophesied of the grace towards you, sought out and searched out; 1 Pet. 1:10
searching what, or what manner of time, the Spirit of Christ which was in them pointed out, testifying before of the sufferings which belonged to Christ, and the glories after these. 1 Pet. 1:11
To whom it was revealed, that not to themselves but to you they ministered those things, which have now been announced to you by those who have declared to you the glad tidings by the Holy Spirit, sent from heaven, which angels desire to look into. 1 Pet. 1:12
Wherefore, having girded up the loins of your mind, be sober and hope with perfect stedfastness in the grace which will be brought to you at the revelation of Jesus Christ; 1 Pet. 1:13
And if ye invoke as Father him who, without regard of persons, judges according to the work of each, pass your time of sojourn in fear, 1 Pet. 1:17
but by precious blood, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot, the blood of Christ, 1 Pet. 1:19
foreknown indeed before the foundation of the world, but who has been manifested at the end of times for your sakes, 1 Pet. 1:20
who by him do believe on God, who has raised him from among the dead and given him glory, that your faith and hope should be in God. 1 Pet. 1:21
Having purified your souls by obedience to the truth to unfeigned brotherly love, love one another out of a pure heart fervently; 1 Pet. 1:22
being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the living and abiding word of God. 1 Pet. 1:23
Because all flesh is as grass, and all its glory as the flower of grass. The grass has withered and its flower has fallen; 1 Pet. 1:24
but the word of the Lord abides for eternity. But this is the word which in the glad tidings is preached to you. 1 Pet. 1:25
as newborn babes desire earnestly the pure mental milk of the word, that by it ye may grow up to salvation, 1 Pet. 2:2
if indeed ye have tasted that the Lord is good. 1 Pet. 2:3
Because it is contained in the scripture: Behold, I lay in Zion a corner stone, elect, precious: and he that believes on him shall not be put to shame. 1 Pet. 2:6
To you therefore who believe is the preciousness; but to the disobedient, the stone which the builders cast away as worthless, this is become head of the corner, 1 Pet. 2:7
and a stone of stumbling and rock of offence; who stumble at the word, being disobedient to which also they have been appointed. 1 Pet. 2:8
But *ye* are a chosen race, a kingly priesthood, a holy nation, a people for a possession, that ye might set forth the excellencies of him who has called you out of darkness to his wonderful light; 1 Pet. 2:9
Beloved, I exhort you, as strangers and sojourners, to abstain from fleshly lusts, which war against the soul; 1 Pet. 2:11
having your conversation honest among the Gentiles, that as to that in which they speak against you as evildoers, they may through your good works, themselves witnessing them, glorify God in the day of visitation. 1 Pet. 2:12
Be in subjection therefore to every human institution for the Lord's sake; whether to the king as supreme, 1 Pet. 2:13
Because so is the will of God, that by well-doing ye put to silence the ignorance of senseless men; 1 Pet. 2:15
Shew honour to all, love the brotherhood, fear God, honour the king. 1 Pet. 2:17
Servants, be subject with all fear to your masters, not only to the good and gentle, but also to the ill-tempered. 1 Pet. 2:18
who, when reviled, reviled not again; when suffering, threatened not; but gave himself over into the hands of him who judges righteously; 1 Pet. 2:23
who himself bore our sins in his body on the tree, in order that, being dead to sins, we may live to righteousness: by whose stripes ye have been healed. 1 Pet. 2:24
For ye were going astray as sheep, but have now returned to the shepherd and overseer of your souls. 1 Pet. 2:25
Likewise, wives, be subject to your own husbands, that, even if any are disobedient to the word, they may be gained without the word by the conversation of the wives, 1 Pet. 3:1
but the hidden man of the heart, in the incorruptible ornament of a meek and quiet spirit, which in the sight of God is of great price. 1 Pet. 3:4
For thus also the holy women who have hoped in God heretofore adorned themselves, being subject to their own husbands; 1 Pet. 3:5
Ye husbands likewise, dwell with them according to knowledge, as with a weaker, even the female, vessel, giving them honour, as also fellow-heirs of the grace of life, that your prayers be not hindered. 1 Pet. 3:7
not rendering evil for evil, or railing for railing; but on the contrary, blessing others, because ye have been called to this, that ye should inherit blessing. 1 Pet. 3:9
because the eyes of the Lord are on the righteous, and his ears towards their supplications; but the face of the Lord is against them that do evil. 1 Pet. 3:12
but sanctify the Lord the Christ in your hearts, and be always prepared to give an answer to every one that asks you to give an account of the hope that is in you, but with meekness and fear; 1 Pet. 3:15
For it is better, if the will of God should will it, to suffer as well-doers than as evildoers; 1 Pet. 3:17
for Christ indeed has once suffered for sins, the just for the unjust, that he might bring us to God; being put to death in flesh, but made alive in the Spirit, 1 Pet. 3:18
in which also going he preached to the spirits which are in prison, 1 Pet. 3:19
heretofore disobedient, when the longsuffering of God waited in the days of Noah while the ark was preparing, into which few, that is, eight souls, were saved through water: 1 Pet. 3:20
which figure also now saves you, even baptism, not a putting away of the filth of flesh, but the demand as before God of a good conscience, by the resurrection of Jesus Christ, 1 Pet. 3:21
who is at the right hand of God, gone into heaven, angels and authorities and powers being subjected to him. 1 Pet. 3:22
Christ, then, having suffered for us in the flesh, do *ye* also arm yourselves with the same mind; for he that has suffered in the flesh has done with sin, 1 Pet. 4:1
no longer to live the rest of his time in the flesh to men's lusts, but to God's will. 1 Pet. 4:2
For the time past is sufficient for us to have wrought the will of the Gentiles, walking in lasciviousness, lusts, wine-drinking, revels, drinkings, and unhallowed idolatries. 1 Pet. 4:3
Wherein they think it strange that ye run not with them to the same sink of corruption, speaking injuriously of you; 1 Pet. 4:4
who shall render account to him who is ready to judge the living and the dead. 1 Pet. 4:5
For to this end were the glad tidings preached to the dead also, that they might be judged, as regards men, after the flesh, but live, as regards God, after the Spirit. 1 Pet. 4:6
But the end of all things is drawn nigh: be sober therefore, and be watchful unto prayers; 1 Pet. 4:7
each according as he has received a gift, ministering it to one another, as good stewards of the various grace of God. 1 Pet. 4:10
If any one speak -- as oracles of God; if any one minister -- as of strength which God supplies; that God in all things may be glorified through Jesus Christ, to whom is the glory and the might for the ages of ages. Amen. 1 Pet. 4:11
Beloved, take not as strange the fire of persecution which has taken place amongst you for your trial, as if a strange thing was happening to you; 1 Pet. 4:12
but as ye have share in the sufferings of Christ, rejoice, that in the revelation of his glory also ye may rejoice with exultation. 1 Pet. 4:13
If ye are reproached in the name of Christ, blessed are ye; for the Spirit of glory and the Spirit of God rests upon you: on their part he is blasphemed, but on your part he is glorified. 1 Pet. 4:14
For the time of having the judgment begin from the house of God is come; but if first from us, what shall be the end of those who obey not the glad tidings of God? 1 Pet. 4:17
And if the righteous is difficultly saved, where shall the impious and the sinner appear? 1 Pet. 4:18
Wherefore also let them who suffer according to the will of God commit their souls in well-doing to a faithful Creator. 1 Pet. 4:19
The elders which are among you I exhort, who am their fellow-elder and witness of the sufferings of the Christ, who also am partaker of the glory about to be revealed: 1 Pet. 5:1
shepherd the flock of God which is among you, exercising oversight, not by necessity, but willingly; not for base gain, but readily; 1 Pet. 5:2
not as lording it over your possessions, but being models for the flock. 1 Pet. 5:3
And when the chief shepherd is manifested ye shall receive the unfading crown of glory. 1 Pet. 5:4
Likewise ye younger, be subject to the elder, and all of you bind on humility towards one another; for God sets himself against the proud, but to the humble gives grace. 1 Pet. 5:5
Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in the due time; 1 Pet. 5:6
Be vigilant, watch. Your adversary the devil as a roaring lion walks about seeking whom he may devour. 1 Pet. 5:8
Whom resist, stedfast in faith, knowing that the selfsame sufferings are accomplished in your brotherhood which is in the world. 1 Pet. 5:9
But the God of all grace who has called you to his eternal glory in Christ Jesus, when ye have suffered for a little while, himself shall make perfect, stablish, strengthen, ground: 1 Pet. 5:10
to him be the glory and the might for the ages of the ages. Amen. 1 Pet. 5:11
By Silvanus, the faithful brother, as I suppose, I have written to you briefly; exhorting and testifying that this is the true grace of God in which ye stand. 1 Pet. 5:12
Simon Peter, bondman and apostle of Jesus Christ, to them that have received like precious faith with us through the righteousness of our God and Saviour Jesus Christ: 2 Pet. 1:1
Grace and peace be multiplied to you in the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord. 2 Pet. 1:2
As his divine power has given to us all things which relate to life and godliness, through the knowledge of him that has called us by glory and virtue, 2 Pet. 1:3
through which he has given to us the greatest and precious promises, that through these ye may become partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust. 2 Pet. 1:4
for these things existing and abounding in you make you to be neither idle nor unfruitful as regards the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ; 2 Pet. 1:8
for he with whom these things are not present is blind, short-sighted, and has forgotten the purging of his former sins. 2 Pet. 1:9
Wherefore the rather, brethren, use diligence to make your calling and election sure, for doing these things ye will never fall; 2 Pet. 1:10
for thus shall the entrance into the everlasting kingdom of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ be richly furnished unto you. 2 Pet. 1:11
Wherefore I will be careful to put you always in mind of these things, although knowing them and established in the present truth. 2 Pet. 1:12
knowing that the putting off of my tabernacle is speedily to take place, as also our Lord Jesus Christ has manifested to me; 2 Pet. 1:14
For we have not made known to you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, following cleverly imagined fables, but having been eyewitnesses of *his* majesty. 2 Pet. 1:16
For he received from God the Father honour and glory, such a voice being uttered to him by the excellent glory: This is my beloved Son, in whom *I* have found my delight; 2 Pet. 1:17
and this voice *we* heard uttered from heaven, being with him on the holy mountain. 2 Pet. 1:18
And we have the prophetic word made surer, to which ye do well taking heed (as to a lamp shining in an obscure place) until the day dawn and the morning star arise in your hearts; 2 Pet. 1:19
knowing this first, that the scope of no prophecy of scripture is had from its own particular interpretation, 2 Pet. 1:20
for prophecy was not ever uttered by the will of man, but holy men of God spake under the power of the Holy Spirit. 2 Pet. 1:21
But there were false prophets also among the people, as there shall be also among you false teachers, who shall bring in by the bye destructive heresies, and deny the master that bought them, bringing upon themselves swift destruction; 2 Pet. 2:1
and many shall follow their dissolute ways, through whom the way of the truth shall be blasphemed. 2 Pet. 2:2
For if God spared not the angels who had sinned, but having cast them down to the deepest pit of gloom has delivered them to chains of darkness to be kept for judgment; 2 Pet. 2:4
and spared not the old world, but preserved Noe, the eighth, a preacher of righteousness, having brought in the flood upon the world of the ungodly; 2 Pet. 2:5
and having reduced the cities of Sodom and Gomorrha to ashes, condemned them with an overthrow, setting them as an example to those that should afterwards live an ungodly life; 2 Pet. 2:6
and saved righteous Lot, distressed with the abandoned conversation of the godless, 2 Pet. 2:7
(for the righteous man through seeing and hearing, dwelling among them, tormented his righteous soul day after day with their lawless works,) 2 Pet. 2:8
the Lord knows how to deliver the godly out of trial, and to keep the unjust to the day of judgment to be punished; 2 Pet. 2:9
and specially those who walk after the flesh in the lust of uncleanness, and despise lordship. Bold are they, self-willed; they do not fear speaking injuriously of dignities: 2 Pet. 2:10
when angels, who are greater in might and power, do not bring against them, before the Lord, an injurious charge. 2 Pet. 2:11
receiving the reward of unrighteousness; accounting ephemeral indulgence pleasure; spots and blemishes, rioting in their own deceits, feasting with you; 2 Pet. 2:13
having left the straight way they have gone astray, having followed in the path of Balaam the son of Bosor, who loved the reward of unrighteousness; 2 Pet. 2:15
but had reproof of his own wickedness -- the dumb ass speaking with man's voice forbad the folly of the prophet. 2 Pet. 2:16
These are springs without water, and mists driven by storm, to whom the gloom of darkness is reserved for ever. 2 Pet. 2:17
For while speaking great highflown words of vanity, they allure with the lusts of the flesh, by dissoluteness, those who have just fled those who walk in error, 2 Pet. 2:18
For if after having escaped the pollutions of the world through the knowledge of the Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, again entangled, they are subdued by these, their last state is worse than the first. 2 Pet. 2:20
For it were better for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than having known it to turn back from the holy commandment delivered to them. 2 Pet. 2:21
But that word of the true proverb has happened to them: The dog has turned back to his own vomit; and, The washed sow to her rolling in mud. 2 Pet. 2:22
This, a second letter, beloved, I already write to you, in both which I stir up, in the way of putting you in remembrance, your pure mind, 2 Pet. 3:1
to be mindful of the words spoken before by the holy prophets, and of the commandment of the Lord and Saviour by your apostles; 2 Pet. 3:2
knowing this first, that there shall come at the close of the days mockers with mocking, walking according to their own lusts, 2 Pet. 3:3
and saying, Where is the promise of his coming? for from the time the fathers fell asleep all things remain thus from the beginning of the creation. 2 Pet. 3:4
For this is hidden from them through their own wilfulness, that heavens were of old, and an earth, having its subsistence out of water and in water, by the word of God, 2 Pet. 3:5
through which waters the then world, deluged with water, perished. 2 Pet. 3:6
But the present heavens and the earth by his word are laid up in store, kept for fire unto a day of judgment and destruction of ungodly men. 2 Pet. 3:7
But let not this one thing be hidden from you, beloved, that one day with the Lord is as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day. 2 Pet. 3:8
The Lord does not delay his promise, as some account of delay, but is longsuffering towards you, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance. 2 Pet. 3:9
But the day of the Lord will come as a thief, in which the heavens will pass away with a rushing noise, and the elements, burning with heat, shall be dissolved, and the earth and the works in it shall be burnt up. 2 Pet. 3:10
waiting for and hastening the coming of the day of God, by reason of which the heavens, being on fire, shall be dissolved, and the elements, burning with heat, shall melt? 2 Pet. 3:12
and account the longsuffering of our Lord to be salvation; according as our beloved brother Paul also has written to you according to the wisdom given to him, 2 Pet. 3:15
as also in all his epistles, speaking in them of these things; among which some things are hard to be understood, which the untaught and ill-established wrest, as also the other scriptures, to their own destruction. 2 Pet. 3:16
*Ye* therefore, beloved, knowing these things before, take care lest, being led away along with the error of the wicked, ye should fall from your own stedfastness: 2 Pet. 3:17
but grow in grace, and in the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. To him be glory both now and to the day of eternity. Amen. 2 Pet. 3:18
That which was from the beginning, that which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes; that which we contemplated, and our hands handled, concerning the word of life; 1 Jn. 1:1
(and the life has been manifested, and we have seen, and bear witness, and report to you the eternal life, which was with the Father, and has been manifested to us:) 1 Jn. 1:2
that which we have seen and heard we report to you, that *ye* also may have fellowship with us; and our fellowship is indeed with the Father, and with his Son Jesus Christ. 1 Jn. 1:3
And this is the message which we have heard from him, and declare to you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all. 1 Jn. 1:5
If we say that we have fellowship with him, and walk in darkness, we lie, and do not practise the truth. 1 Jn. 1:6
But if we walk in the light as *he* is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanses us from all sin. 1 Jn. 1:7
If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. 1 Jn. 1:8
My children, these things I write to you in order that ye may not sin; and if any one sin, we have a patron with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous; 1 Jn. 2:1
and *he* is the propitiation for our sins; but not for ours alone, but also for the whole world. 1 Jn. 2:2
He that says, I know him, and does not keep his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him; 1 Jn. 2:4
but whoever keeps his word, in him verily the love of God is perfected. Hereby we know that we are in him. 1 Jn. 2:5
Beloved, I write no new commandment to you, but an old commandment, which ye have had from the beginning. The old commandment is the word which ye heard. 1 Jn. 2:7
Again, I write a new commandment to you, which thing is true in him and in you, because the darkness is passing and the true light already shines. 1 Jn. 2:8
He who says he is in the light, and hates his brother, is in the darkness until now. 1 Jn. 2:9
But he that hates his brother is in the darkness, and walks in the darkness, and knows not where he goes, because the darkness has blinded his eyes. 1 Jn. 2:11
I write to you, fathers, because ye have known him that is from the beginning. I write to you, young men, because ye have overcome the wicked one. I write to you, little children, because ye have known the Father. 1 Jn. 2:13
I have written to you, fathers, because ye have known him that is from the beginning. I have written to you, young men, because ye are strong, and the word of God abides in you, and ye have overcome the wicked one. 1 Jn. 2:14
Love not the world, nor the things in the world. If any one love the world, the love of the Father is not in him; 1 Jn. 2:15
because all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world. 1 Jn. 2:16
And the world is passing, and its lust, but he that does the will of God abides for eternity. 1 Jn. 2:17
Little children, it is the last hour, and, according as ye have heard that antichrist comes, even now there have come many antichrists, whence we know that it is the last hour. 1 Jn. 2:18
And *ye* have the unction from the holy one, and ye know all things. 1 Jn. 2:20
I have not written to you because ye do not know the truth, but because ye know it, and that no lie is of the truth. 1 Jn. 2:21
Who is the liar but he who denies that Jesus is the Christ? *He* is the antichrist who denies the Father and the Son. 1 Jn. 2:22
Whoever denies the Son has not the Father either; he who confesses the Son has the Father also. 1 Jn. 2:23
As for *you* let that which ye have heard from the beginning abide in you: if what ye have heard from the beginning abides in you, *ye* also shall abide in the Son and in the Father. 1 Jn. 2:24
And this is the promise which *he* has promised us, life eternal. 1 Jn. 2:25
and *yourselves*, the unction which ye have received from him abides in you, and ye have not need that any one should teach you; but as the same unction teaches you as to all things, and is true and is not a lie, and even as it has taught you, ye shall abide in him. 1 Jn. 2:27
See what love the Father has given to us, that we should be called the children of God. For this reason the world knows us not, because it knew him not. 1 Jn. 3:1
He that practises sin is of the devil; for from the beginning the devil sins. To this end the Son of God has been manifested, that he might undo the works of the devil. 1 Jn. 3:8
In this are manifest the children of God and the children of the devil. Whoever does not practise righteousness is not of God, and he who does not love his brother. 1 Jn. 3:10
For this is the message which ye have heard from the beginning, that we should love one another: 1 Jn. 3:11
not as Cain was of the wicked one, and slew his brother; and on account of what slew he him? because his works were wicked, and those of his brother righteous. 1 Jn. 3:12
Do not wonder, brethren, if the world hate you. 1 Jn. 3:13
*We* know that we have passed from death to life, because we love the brethren. He who does not love his brother abides in death. 1 Jn. 3:14
Hereby we have known love, because *he* has laid down his life for us; and *we* ought for the brethren to lay down our lives. 1 Jn. 3:16
But whoso may have the world's substance, and see his brother having need, and shut up his bowels from him, how abides the love of God in him? 1 Jn. 3:17
And hereby we shall know that we are of the truth, and shall persuade our hearts before him -- 1 Jn. 3:19
and whatsoever we ask we receive from him, because we keep his commandments, and practise the things which are pleasing in his sight. 1 Jn. 3:22
And this is his commandment, that we believe on the name of his Son Jesus Christ, and that we love one another, even as he has given us commandment. 1 Jn. 3:23
And he that keeps his commandments abides in him, and he in him. And hereby we know that he abides in us, by the Spirit which he has given to us. 1 Jn. 3:24
Beloved, believe not every spirit, but prove the spirits, if they are of God; because many false prophets are gone out into the world. 1 Jn. 4:1
Hereby ye know the Spirit of God: every spirit which confesses Jesus Christ come in flesh is of God; 1 Jn. 4:2
and every spirit which does not confess Jesus Christ come in flesh is not of God: and this is that power of the antichrist, of which ye have heard that it comes, and now it is already in the world. 1 Jn. 4:3
*Ye* are of God, children, and have overcome them, because greater is he that is in you than he that is in the world. 1 Jn. 4:4
*They* are of the world; for this reason they speak as of the world, and the world hears them. 1 Jn. 4:5
*We* are of God; he that knows God hears us; he who is not of God does not hear us. From this we know the spirit of truth and the spirit of error. 1 Jn. 4:6
Herein as to us has been manifested the love of God, that God has sent his only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through him. 1 Jn. 4:9
And *we* have seen, and testify, that the Father has sent the Son as Saviour of the world. 1 Jn. 4:14
Whosoever shall confess that Jesus is the Son of God, God abides in him, and he in God. 1 Jn. 4:15
And *we* have known and have believed the love which God has to us. God is love, and he that abides in love abides in God, and God in him. 1 Jn. 4:16
Herein has love been perfected with us that we may have boldness in the day of judgment, that even as *he* is, *we* also are in this world. 1 Jn. 4:17
Every one that believes that Jesus is the Christ is begotten of God; and every one that loves him that has begotten loves also him that is begotten of him. 1 Jn. 5:1
Hereby know we that we love the children of God, when we love God and keep his commandments. 1 Jn. 5:2
For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments; and his commandments are not grievous. 1 Jn. 5:3
For all that has been begotten of God gets the victory over the world; and this is the victory which has gotten the victory over the world, our faith. 1 Jn. 5:4
Who is he that gets the victory over the world, but he that believes that Jesus is the Son of God? 1 Jn. 5:5
This is he that came by water and blood, Jesus the Christ; not by water only, but by water and blood. And it is the Spirit that bears witness, for the Spirit is the truth. 1 Jn. 5:6
the Spirit, and the water, and the blood; and the three agree in one. 1 Jn. 5:8
If we receive the witness of men, the witness of God is greater. For this is the witness of God which he has witnessed concerning his Son. 1 Jn. 5:9
He that believes on the Son of God has the witness in himself; he that does not believe God has made him a liar, because he has not believed in the witness which God has witnessed concerning his Son. 1 Jn. 5:10
And this is the witness, that God has given to us eternal life; and this life is in his Son. 1 Jn. 5:11
He that has the Son has life: he that has not the Son of God has not life. 1 Jn. 5:12
These things have I written to you that ye may know that ye have eternal life who believe on the name of the Son of God. 1 Jn. 5:13
And this is the boldness which we have towards him, that if we ask him anything according to his will he hears us. 1 Jn. 5:14
And if we know that he hears us, whatsoever we ask, we know that we have the petitions which we have asked of him. 1 Jn. 5:15
We know that every one begotten of God does not sin, but he that has been begotten of God keeps himself, and the wicked one does not touch him. 1 Jn. 5:18
We know that we are of God, and the whole world lies in the wicked one. 1 Jn. 5:19
And we know that the Son of God has come, and has given us an understanding that we should know him that is true; and we are in him that is true, in his Son Jesus Christ. He is the true God and eternal life. 1 Jn. 5:20
The elder to the elect lady and her children, whom *I* love in truth, and not *I* only but also all who have known the truth, 2 Jn. 1:1
for the truth's sake which abides in us and shall be with us to eternity. 2 Jn. 1:2
Grace shall be with you, mercy, peace from God the Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of the Father, in truth and love. 2 Jn. 1:3
I rejoiced greatly that I have found of thy children walking in truth, as we have received commandment from the Father. 2 Jn. 1:4
And now I beseech thee, lady, not as writing to thee a new commandment, but that which we have had from the beginning, that we should love one another. 2 Jn. 1:5
And this is love, that we should walk according to his commandments. This is the commandment, according as ye have heard from the beginning, that ye might walk in it. 2 Jn. 1:6
For many deceivers have gone out into the world, they who do not confess Jesus Christ coming in flesh -- this is the deceiver and the antichrist. 2 Jn. 1:7
Whosoever goes forward and abides not in the doctrine of the Christ has not God. He that abides in the doctrine, *he* has both the Father and the Son. 2 Jn. 1:9
If any one come to you and bring not this doctrine, do not receive him into the house, and greet him not; 2 Jn. 1:10
The children of thine elect sister greet thee. 2 Jn. 1:13
The elder to the beloved Gaius, whom I love in truth. 3 Jn. 1:1
For I rejoiced exceedingly when the brethren came and bore testimony to thy holding fast the truth, even as *thou* walkest in truth. 3 Jn. 1:3
I have no greater joy than these things that I hear of my children walking in the truth. 3 Jn. 1:4
Beloved, thou doest faithfully in whatever thou mayest have wrought towards the brethren and that strangers, 3 Jn. 1:5
(who have witnessed of thy love before the assembly,) in setting forward whom on their journey worthily of God, thou wilt do well; 3 Jn. 1:6
for for the name have they gone forth, taking nothing of those of the nations. 3 Jn. 1:7
*We* therefore ought to receive such, that we may be fellow-workers with the truth. 3 Jn. 1:8
I wrote something to the assembly; but Diotrephes, who loves to have the first place among them, receives us not. 3 Jn. 1:9
For this reason, if I come, I will bring to remembrance his works which he does, babbling against us with wicked words; and not content with these, neither does he himself receive the brethren; and those who would he prevents, and casts them out of the assembly. 3 Jn. 1:10
Demetrius has witness borne to him by all, and by the truth itself; and *we* also bear witness, and thou knowest that our witness is true. 3 Jn. 1:12
but I hope soon to see thee, and we will speak mouth to mouth. Peace be to thee. The friends greet thee. Greet the friends by name. 3 Jn. 1:14
Jude, bondman of Jesus Christ, and brother of James, to the called ones beloved in God the Father and preserved in Jesus Christ: Jude 1:1
Beloved, using all diligence to write to you of our common salvation, I have been obliged to write to you exhorting you to contend earnestly for the faith once delivered to the saints. Jude 1:3
For certain men have got in unnoticed, they who of old were marked out beforehand to this sentence, ungodly persons, turning the grace of our God into dissoluteness, and denying our only Master and Lord Jesus Christ. Jude 1:4
But I would put you in remembrance, you who once knew all things, that the Lord, having saved a people out of the land of Egypt, in the second place destroyed those who had not believed. Jude 1:5
And angels who had not kept their own original state, but had abandoned their own dwelling, he keeps in eternal chains under gloomy darkness, to the judgment of the great day; Jude 1:6
as Sodom and Gomorrha, and the cities around them, committing greedily fornication, in like manner with them, and going after other flesh, lie there as an example, undergoing the judgment of eternal fire. Jude 1:7
Yet in like manner these dreamers also defile the flesh, and despise lordship, and speak railingly against dignities. Jude 1:8
But Michael the archangel, when disputing with the devil he reasoned about the body of Moses, did not dare to bring a railing judgment against him, but said, The Lord rebuke thee. Jude 1:9
But these, whatever things they know not, they speak railingly against; but what even, as the irrational animals, they understand by mere nature, in these things they corrupt themselves. Jude 1:10
Woe to them! because they have gone in the way of Cain, and given themselves up to the error of Balaam for reward, and perished in the gainsaying of Core. Jude 1:11
These are spots in your love-feasts, feasting together with you without fear, pasturing themselves; clouds without water, carried along by the winds; autumnal trees, without fruit, twice dead, rooted up; Jude 1:12
raging waves of the sea, foaming out their own shames; wandering stars, to whom has been reserved the gloom of darkness for eternity. Jude 1:13
And Enoch, the seventh from Adam, prophesied also as to these, saying, Behold, the Lord has come amidst his holy myriads, Jude 1:14
to execute judgment against all; and to convict all the ungodly of them of all their works of ungodliness, which they have wrought ungodlily, and of all the hard things which ungodly sinners have spoken against him. Jude 1:15
These are murmurers, complainers, walking after their lusts; and their mouth speaks swelling words, admiring persons for the sake of profit. Jude 1:16
But *ye*, beloved, remember the words spoken before by the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ, Jude 1:17
that they said to you, that at the end of the time there should be mockers, walking after their own lusts of ungodlinesses. Jude 1:18
These are they who set themselves apart, natural men, not having the Spirit. Jude 1:19
But *ye*, beloved, building yourselves up on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Spirit, Jude 1:20
keep yourselves in the love of God, awaiting the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ unto eternal life. Jude 1:21
but others save with fear, snatching them out of the fire; hating even the garment spotted by the flesh. Jude 1:23
to the only God our Saviour, through Jesus Christ our Lord, be glory, majesty, might, and authority, from before the whole age, and now, and to all the ages. Amen. Jude 1:25
who testified the word of God, and the testimony of Jesus Christ, all things that he saw. Rev. 1:2
Blessed is he that reads, and they that hear the words of the prophecy, and keep the things written in it; for the time is near. Rev. 1:3
John to the seven assemblies which are in Asia: Grace to you and peace from him who is, and who was, and who is to come; and from the seven Spirits which are before his throne; Rev. 1:4
and from Jesus Christ, the faithful witness, the firstborn from the dead, and the prince of the kings of the earth. To him who loves us, and has washed us from our sins in his blood, Rev. 1:5
and made us a kingdom, priests to his God and Father: to him be the glory and the might to the ages of ages. Amen. Rev. 1:6
Behold, he comes with the clouds, and every eye shall see him, and they which have pierced him, and all the tribes of the land shall wail because of him. Yea. Amen. Rev. 1:7
I am the Alpha and the Omega, saith the Lord God, he who is, and who was, and who is to come, the Almighty. Rev. 1:8
I John, your brother and fellow-partaker in the tribulation and kingdom and patience, in Jesus, was in the island called Patmos, for the word of God, and for the testimony of Jesus. Rev. 1:9
I became in the Spirit on the Lord's day, and I heard behind me a great voice as of a trumpet, Rev. 1:10
saying, What thou seest write in a book, and send to the seven assemblies: to Ephesus, and to Smyrna, and to Pergamos, and to Thyatira, and to Sardis, and to Philadelphia, and to Laodicea. Rev. 1:11
And I turned back to see the voice which spoke with me; and having turned, I saw seven golden lamps, Rev. 1:12
and in the midst of the seven lamps one like the Son of man, clothed with a garment reaching to the feet, and girt about at the breasts with a golden girdle: Rev. 1:13
and his feet like fine brass, as burning in a furnace; and his voice as the voice of many waters; Rev. 1:15
and having in his right hand seven stars; and out of his mouth a sharp two-edged sword going forth; and his countenance as the sun shines in its power. Rev. 1:16
And when I saw him I fell at his feet as dead; and he laid his right hand upon me, saying, Fear not; *I* am the first and the last, Rev. 1:17
and the living one: and I became dead, and behold, I am living to the ages of ages, and have the keys of death and of hades. Rev. 1:18
Write therefore what thou hast seen, and the things that are, and the things that are about to be after these. Rev. 1:19
The mystery of the seven stars which thou hast seen on my right hand, and the seven golden lamps. -- The seven stars are angels of the seven assemblies; and the seven lamps are seven assemblies. Rev. 1:20
To the angel of the assembly in Ephesus write: These things says he that holds the seven stars in his right hand, who walks in the midst of the seven golden lamps: Rev. 2:1
Remember therefore whence thou art fallen, and repent, and do the first works: but if not, I am coming to thee, and I will remove thy lamp out of its place, except thou shalt repent. Rev. 2:5
But this thou hast, that thou hatest the works of the Nicolaitanes, which *I* also hate. Rev. 2:6
He that has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the assemblies. To him that overcomes, I will give to him to eat of the tree of life which is in the paradise of God. Rev. 2:7
And to the angel of the assembly in Smyrna write: These things says the first and the last, who became dead, and lived: Rev. 2:8
I know thy tribulation and thy poverty; but thou art rich; and the railing of those who say that they themselves are Jews, and are not, but a synagogue of Satan. Rev. 2:9
Fear nothing of what thou art about to suffer. Behold, the devil is about to cast of you into prison, that ye may be tried; and ye shall have tribulation ten days. Be thou faithful unto death, and I will give to thee the crown of life. Rev. 2:10
He that has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the assemblies. He that overcomes shall in no wise be injured of the second death. Rev. 2:11
And to the angel of the assembly in Pergamos write: These things says he that has the sharp two-edged sword: Rev. 2:12
I know where thou dwellest, where the throne of Satan is; and thou holdest fast my name, and hast not denied my faith, even in the days in which Antipas my faithful witness was, who was slain among you, where Satan dwells. Rev. 2:13
But I have a few things against thee: that thou hast there those who hold the doctrine of Balaam, who taught Balak to cast a snare before the sons of Israel, to eat of idol sacrifices and commit fornication. Rev. 2:14
So thou also hast those who hold the doctrine of Nicolaitanes in like manner. Rev. 2:15
Repent therefore: but if not, I come to thee quickly, and I will make war with them with the sword of my mouth. Rev. 2:16
He that has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the assemblies. To him that overcomes, to him will I give of the hidden manna; and I will give to him a white stone, and on the stone a new name written, which no one knows but he that receives it. Rev. 2:17
And to the angel of the assembly in Thyatira write: These things says the Son of God, he that has his eyes as a flame of fire, and his feet are like fine brass: Rev. 2:18
I know thy works, and love, and faith, and service, and thine endurance, and thy last works to be more than the first. Rev. 2:19
But I have against thee that thou permittest the woman Jezebel, she who calls herself prophetess, and she teaches and leads astray my servants to commit fornication and eat of idol sacrifices. Rev. 2:20
and her children will I kill with death; and all the assemblies shall know that *I* am he that searches the reins and the hearts; and I will give to you each according to your works. Rev. 2:23
But to you I say, the rest who are in Thyatira, as many as have not this doctrine, who have not known the depths of Satan, as they say, I do not cast upon you any other burden; Rev. 2:24
And he that overcomes, and he that keeps unto the end my works, to him will I give authority over the nations, Rev. 2:26
and I will give to him the morning star. Rev. 2:28
He that has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the assemblies. Rev. 2:29
And to the angel of the assembly in Sardis write: These things saith he that has the seven Spirits of God, and the seven stars: I know thy works, that thou hast a name that thou livest, and art dead. Rev. 3:1
Be watchful, and strengthen the things that remain, which are about to die, for I have not found thy works complete before my God. Rev. 3:2
He that overcomes, *he* shall be clothed in white garments, and I will not blot his name out of the book of life, and will confess his name before my Father and before his angels. Rev. 3:5
He that has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the assemblies. Rev. 3:6
And to the angel of the assembly in Philadelphia write: These things saith the holy, the true; he that has the key of David, he who opens and no one shall shut, and shuts and no one shall open: Rev. 3:7
Behold, I make them of the synagogue of Satan who say that they are Jews, and are not, but lie; behold, I will cause that they shall come and shall do homage before thy feet, and shall know that *I* have loved thee. Rev. 3:9
Because thou hast kept the word of my patience, *I* also will keep thee out of the hour of trial, which is about to come upon the whole habitable world, to try them that dwell upon the earth. Rev. 3:10
He that overcomes, him will I make a pillar in the temple of my God, and he shall go no more at all out; and I will write upon him the name of my God, and the name of the city of my God, the new Jerusalem, which comes down out of heaven, from my God, and my new name. Rev. 3:12
He that has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the assemblies. Rev. 3:13
And to the angel of the assembly in Laodicea write: These things says the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the beginning of the creation of God: Rev. 3:14
Because thou sayest, I am rich, and am grown rich, and have need of nothing, and knowest not that *thou* art the wretched and the miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked; Rev. 3:17
I counsel thee to buy of me gold purified by fire, that thou mayest be rich; and white garments, that thou mayest be clothed, and that the shame of thy nakedness may not be made manifest; and eye-salve to anoint thine eyes, that thou mayest see. Rev. 3:18
Behold, I stand at the door and am knocking; if any one hear my voice and open the door, I will come in unto him and sup with him, and he with me. Rev. 3:20
He that has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the assemblies. Rev. 3:22
After these things I saw, and behold, a door opened in heaven, and the first voice which I heard as of a trumpet speaking with me, saying, Come up here, and I will shew thee the things which must take place after these things. Rev. 4:1
Immediately I became in the Spirit; and behold, a throne stood in the heaven, and upon the throne one sitting, Rev. 4:2
and he that was sitting like in appearance to a stone of jasper and a sardius, and a rainbow round the throne like in appearance to an emerald. Rev. 4:3
And round the throne twenty-four thrones, and on the thrones twenty-four elders sitting, clothed with white garments; and on their heads golden crowns. Rev. 4:4
And out of the throne go forth lightnings, and voices, and thunders; and seven lamps of fire, burning before the throne, which are the seven Spirits of God; Rev. 4:5
and before the throne, as a glass sea, like crystal. And in the midst of the throne, and around the throne, four living creatures, full of eyes, before and behind; Rev. 4:6
and the first living creature like a lion, and the second living creature like a calf, and the third living creature having the face as of a man, and the fourth living creature like a flying eagle. Rev. 4:7
And the four living creatures, each one of them having respectively six wings; round and within they are full of eyes; and they cease not day and night saying, Holy, holy, holy, Lord God Almighty, who was, and who is, and who is to come. Rev. 4:8
And when the living creatures shall give glory and honour and thanksgiving to him that sits upon the throne, who lives to the ages of ages, Rev. 4:9
the twenty-four elders shall fall before him that sits upon the throne, and do homage to him that lives to the ages of ages; and shall cast their crowns before the throne, saying, Rev. 4:10
And I saw on the right hand of him that sat upon the throne a book, written within and on the back, sealed with seven seals. Rev. 5:1
And I saw a strong angel proclaiming with a loud voice, Who is worthy to open the book, and to break its seals? Rev. 5:2
And no one was able in the heaven, or upon the earth, or underneath the earth, to open the book, or to regard it. Rev. 5:3
And *I* wept much because no one had been found worthy to open the book nor to regard it. Rev. 5:4
And one of the elders says to me, Do not weep. Behold, the lion which is of the tribe of Juda, the root of David, has overcome so as to open the book, and its seven seals. Rev. 5:5
And I saw in the midst of the throne and of the four living creatures, and in the midst of the elders, a Lamb standing, as slain, having seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven Spirits of God which are sent into all the earth: Rev. 5:6
and it came and took it out of the right hand of him that sat upon the throne. Rev. 5:7
And when it took the book, the four living creatures and the twenty-four elders fell before the Lamb, having each a harp and golden bowls full of incenses, which are the prayers of the saints. Rev. 5:8
And they sing a new song, saying, Thou art worthy to take the book, and to open its seals; because thou hast been slain, and hast redeemed to God, by thy blood, out of every tribe, and tongue, and people, and nation, Rev. 5:9
and made them to our God kings and priests; and they shall reign over the earth. Rev. 5:10
And I saw, and I heard the voice of many angels around the throne and the living creatures and the elders; and their number was ten thousands of ten thousands and thousands of thousands; Rev. 5:11
saying with a loud voice, Worthy is the Lamb that has been slain, to receive power, and riches, and wisdom, and strength, and honour, and glory, and blessing. Rev. 5:12
And every creature which is in the heaven and upon the earth and under the earth, and those that are upon the sea, and all things in them, heard I saying, To him that sits upon the throne, and to the Lamb, blessing, and honour, and glory, and might, to the ages of ages. Rev. 5:13
And the four living creatures said, Amen; and the elders fell down and did homage. Rev. 5:14
And I saw when the Lamb opened one of the seven seals, and I heard one of the four living creatures saying, as a voice of thunder, Come and see. Rev. 6:1
And when it opened the second seal, I heard the second living creature saying, Come and see. Rev. 6:3
And another, a red horse, went forth; and to him that sat upon it, to him it was given to take peace from the earth, and that they should slay one another; and there was given to him a great sword. Rev. 6:4
And when it opened the third seal, I heard the third living creature saying, Come and see. And I saw: and behold, a black horse, and he that sat upon it having a balance in his hand. Rev. 6:5
And I heard as a voice in the midst of the four living creatures saying, A choenix of wheat for a denarius, and three choenixes of barley for a denarius: and do not injure the oil and the wine. Rev. 6:6
And when it opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth living creature saying, Come and see. Rev. 6:7
And I saw: and behold, a pale horse, and he that sat upon it, his name was Death, and hades followed with him; and authority was given to him over the fourth of the earth to slay with sword, and with hunger, and with death, and by the beasts of the earth. Rev. 6:8
And when it opened the fifth seal, I saw underneath the altar the souls of them that had been slain for the word of God, and for the testimony which they held; Rev. 6:9
and they cried with a loud voice, saying, How long, O sovereign Ruler, holy and true, dost thou not judge and avenge our blood on them that dwell upon the earth? Rev. 6:10
And I saw when it opened the sixth seal, and there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as hair sackcloth, and the whole moon became as blood, Rev. 6:12
and the stars of heaven fell upon the earth, as a fig tree, shaken by a great wind, casts its unseasonable figs. Rev. 6:13
And the heaven was removed as a book rolled up, and every mountain and island were removed out of their places. Rev. 6:14
And the kings of the earth, and the great, and the chiliarchs, and the rich, and the strong, and every bondman and freeman, hid themselves in the caves and in the rocks of the mountains; Rev. 6:15
and they say to the mountains and to the rocks, Fall on us, and have us hidden from the face of him that sits upon the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb; Rev. 6:16
because the great day of his wrath is come, and who is able to stand? Rev. 6:17
And after this I saw four angels standing upon the four corners of the earth, holding fast the four winds of the earth, that no wind might blow upon the earth, nor upon the sea, nor upon any tree. Rev. 7:1
And I saw another angel ascending from the sunrising, having the seal of the living God; and he cried with a loud voice to the four angels to whom it had been given to hurt the earth and the sea, Rev. 7:2
saying, Hurt not the earth, nor the sea, nor the trees, until we shall have sealed the bondmen of our God upon their foreheads. Rev. 7:3
And I heard the number of the sealed, a hundred and forty-four thousand, sealed out of every tribe of the sons of Israel: Rev. 7:4
out of the tribe of Juda, twelve thousand sealed; out of the tribe of Reuben, twelve thousand; out of the tribe of Gad, twelve thousand; Rev. 7:5
out of the tribe of Aser, twelve thousand; out of the tribe of Nepthalim, twelve thousand; out of the tribe of Manasseh, twelve thousand; Rev. 7:6
out of the tribe of Simeon, twelve thousand; out of the tribe of Levi, twelve thousand; out of the tribe of Issachar, twelve thousand; Rev. 7:7
out of the tribe of Zabulun, twelve thousand; out of the tribe of Joseph, twelve thousand; out of the tribe of Benjamin, twelve thousand sealed. Rev. 7:8
After these things I saw, and lo, a great crowd, which no one could number, out of every nation and tribes and peoples and tongues, standing before the throne, and before the Lamb, clothed with white robes, and palm branches in their hands. Rev. 7:9
And they cry with a loud voice, saying, Salvation to our God who sits upon the throne, and to the Lamb. Rev. 7:10
And all the angels stood around the throne, and the elders, and the four living creatures, and fell before the throne upon their faces, and worshipped God, Rev. 7:11
saying, Amen: Blessing, and glory, and wisdom, and thanksgiving, and honour, and power, and strength, to our God, to the ages of ages. Amen. Rev. 7:12
And one of the elders answered, saying to me, These who are clothed with white robes, who are they, and whence came they? Rev. 7:13
And I said to him, My lord, *thou* knowest. And he said to me, These are they who come out of the great tribulation, and have washed their robes, and have made them white in the blood of the Lamb. Rev. 7:14
Therefore are they before the throne of God, and serve him day and night in his temple, and he that sits upon the throne shall spread his tabernacle over them. Rev. 7:15
They shall not hunger any more, neither shall they thirst any more, nor shall the sun at all fall on them, nor any burning heat; Rev. 7:16
because the Lamb which is in the midst of the throne shall shepherd them, and shall lead them to fountains of waters of life, and God shall wipe away every tear from their eyes. Rev. 7:17
And when it opened the seventh seal, there was silence in the heaven about half an hour. Rev. 8:1
And I saw the seven angels who stand before God, and seven trumpets were given to them. Rev. 8:2
And another angel came and stood at the altar, having a golden censer; and much incense was given to him, that he might give efficacy to the prayers of all saints at the golden altar which was before the throne. Rev. 8:3
And the smoke of the incense went up with the prayers of the saints, out of the hand of the angel before God. Rev. 8:4
And the angel took the censer, and filled it from the fire of the altar, and cast it on the earth: and there were voices, and thunders and lightnings, and an earthquake. Rev. 8:5
And the seven angels who had the seven trumpets prepared themselves that they might sound with their trumpets. Rev. 8:6
And the first sounded his trumpet: and there was hail and fire, mingled with blood, and they were cast upon the earth; and the third part of the earth was burnt up, and the third part of the trees was burnt up, and all green grass was burnt up. Rev. 8:7
And the second angel sounded his trumpet: and as a great mountain burning with fire was cast into the sea, and the third part of the sea became blood; Rev. 8:8
and the third part of the creatures which were in the sea which had life died; and the third part of the ships were destroyed. Rev. 8:9
And the third angel sounded his trumpet: and there fell out of the heaven a great star, burning as a torch, and it fell upon the third part of the rivers, and upon the fountains of waters. Rev. 8:10
And the name of the star is called Wormwood; and the third part of the waters became wormwood, and many of the men died of the waters because they were made bitter. Rev. 8:11
And the fourth angel sounded his trumpet: and the third part of the sun was smitten, and the third part of the moon, and the third part of the stars; so that the third part of them should be darkened, and that the day should not appear for the third part of it, and the night the same. Rev. 8:12
And I saw, and I heard an eagle flying in mid-heaven, saying with a loud voice, Woe, woe, woe, to them that dwell upon the earth, for the remaining voices of the trumpet of the three angels who are about to sound. Rev. 8:13
And the fifth angel sounded his trumpet: and I saw a star out of the heaven fallen to the earth; and there was given to it the key of the pit of the abyss. Rev. 9:1
And it opened the pit of the abyss; and there went up smoke out of the pit as the smoke of a great furnace; and the sun and the air were darkened with the smoke of the pit. Rev. 9:2
And out of the smoke came forth locusts on the earth, and power was given to them as the scorpions of the earth have power; Rev. 9:3
and it was said to them, that they should not injure the grass of the earth, nor any green thing, nor any tree, but the men who have not the seal of God on their foreheads: Rev. 9:4
and it was given to them that they should not kill them, but that they should be tormented five months; and their torment was as the torment of a scorpion when it strikes a man. Rev. 9:5
And the likenesses of the locusts were like to horses prepared for war; and upon their heads as crowns like gold, and their faces as faces of men; Rev. 9:7
and they had breastplates as breastplates of iron, and the sound of their wings was as the sound of chariots of many horses running to war; Rev. 9:9
They have a king over them, the angel of the abyss: his name in Hebrew, Abaddon, and in Greek he has for name Apollyon. Rev. 9:11
The first woe has passed. Behold, there come yet two woes after these things. Rev. 9:12
And the sixth angel sounded his trumpet: and I heard a voice from the four horns of the golden altar which is before God, Rev. 9:13
saying to the sixth angel that had the trumpet, Loose the four angels which are bound at the great river Euphrates. Rev. 9:14
And the four angels were loosed, who are prepared for the hour and day and month and year, that they might slay the third part of men; Rev. 9:15
and the number of the hosts of horse was twice ten thousand times ten thousand. I heard their number. Rev. 9:16
And thus I saw the horses in the vision, and those that sat upon them, having breastplates of fire and jacinth and brimstone; and the heads of the horses were as heads of lions, and out of their mouths goes out fire and smoke and brimstone. Rev. 9:17
By these three plagues were the third part of men killed, by the fire and the smoke and the brimstone which goes out of their mouths. Rev. 9:18
For the power of the horses is in their mouth and in their tails: for their tails are like serpents, having heads, and with them they injure. Rev. 9:19
And the rest of men who were not killed with these plagues repented not of the works of their hands, that they should not worship demons, and the golden and silver and brazen and stone and wooden idols, which can neither see nor hear nor walk. Rev. 9:20
And I saw another strong angel coming down out of the heaven, clothed with a cloud, and the rainbow upon his head, and his countenance as the sun, and his feet as pillars of fire, Rev. 10:1
and having in his hand a little opened book. And he set his right foot on the sea, and the left upon the earth, Rev. 10:2
and cried with a loud voice as a lion roars. And when he cried, the seven thunders uttered their own voices. Rev. 10:3
And when the seven thunders spoke, I was about to write: and I heard a voice out of the heaven saying, Seal the things which the seven thunders have spoken, and write them not. Rev. 10:4
And the angel whom I saw stand on the sea and on the earth lifted up his right hand to the heaven, Rev. 10:5
and swore by him that lives to the ages of ages, who created the heaven and the things that are in it, and the earth and the things that are in it, and the sea and the things that are in it, that there should be no longer delay; Rev. 10:6
but in the days of the voice of the seventh angel, when he is about to sound the trumpet, the mystery of God also shall be completed, as he has made known the glad tidings to his own bondmen the prophets. Rev. 10:7
And the voice which I heard out of the heaven was again speaking with me, and saying, Go, take the little book which is opened in the hand of the angel who is standing on the sea and on the earth. Rev. 10:8
And I went to the angel, saying to him to give me the little book. And he says to me, Take and eat it up: and it shall make thy belly bitter, but in thy mouth it shall be sweet as honey. Rev. 10:9
And I took the little book out of the hand of the angel, and ate it up; and it was in my mouth as honey, sweet; and when I had eaten it my belly was made bitter. Rev. 10:10
And there was given to me a reed like a staff, saying, Rise, and measure the temple of God, and the altar, and them that worship in it. Rev. 11:1
And the court which is without the temple cast out, and measure it not; because it has been given up to the nations, and the holy city shall they tread under foot forty-two months. Rev. 11:2
These are the two olive trees and the two lamps which stand before the Lord of the earth; Rev. 11:4
These have power to shut the heaven that no rain may fall during the days of their prophecy; and they have power over the waters to turn them into blood, and to smite the earth as often as they will with every plague. Rev. 11:6
And when they shall have completed their testimony, the beast who comes up out of the abyss shall make war with them, and shall conquer them, and shall kill them: Rev. 11:7
and their body shall be on the street of the great city, which is called spiritually Sodom and Egypt, where also their Lord was crucified. Rev. 11:8
And men of the peoples and tribes and tongues and nations see their body three days and a half, and they do not suffer their bodies to be put into a sepulchre. Rev. 11:9
And they that dwell upon the earth rejoice over them, and are full of delight, and shall send gifts one to another, because these, the two prophets, tormented them that dwell upon the earth. Rev. 11:10
And after the three days and a half the spirit of life from God came into them, and they stood upon their feet; and great fear fell upon those beholding them. Rev. 11:11
And I heard a great voice out of the heaven saying to them, Come up here; and they went up to the heaven in the cloud, and their enemies beheld them. Rev. 11:12
And in that hour there was a great earthquake, and the tenth of the city fell, and seven thousand names of men were slain in the earthquake. And the remnant were filled with fear, and gave glory to the God of the heaven. Rev. 11:13
The second woe has passed; behold, the third woe comes quickly. Rev. 11:14
And the seventh angel sounded his trumpet: and there were great voices in the heaven, saying, The kingdom of the world of our Lord and of his Christ is come, and he shall reign to the ages of ages. Rev. 11:15
And the twenty-four elders, who sit on their thrones before God, fell upon their faces, and worshipped God, Rev. 11:16
And the nations have been full of wrath, and thy wrath is come, and the time of the dead to be judged, and to give the recompense to thy servants the prophets, and to the saints, and to those who fear thy name, small and great; and to destroy those that destroy the earth. Rev. 11:18
And the temple of God in the heaven was opened, and the ark of his covenant was seen in his temple: and there were lightnings, and voices, and thunders, and an earthquake, and great hail. Rev. 11:19
And a great sign was seen in the heaven: a woman clothed with the sun, and the moon under her feet, and upon her head a crown of twelve stars; Rev. 12:1
And another sign was seen in the heaven: and behold, a great red dragon, having seven heads and ten horns, and on his heads seven diadems; Rev. 12:3
and his tail draws the third part of the stars of the heaven; and he cast them to the earth. And the dragon stood before the woman who was about to bring forth, in order that when she brought forth he might devour her child. Rev. 12:4
And she brought forth a male son, who shall shepherd all the nations with an iron rod; and her child was caught up to God and to his throne. Rev. 12:5
And the woman fled into the wilderness, where she has there a place prepared of God, that they should nourish her there a thousand two hundred and sixty days. Rev. 12:6
And there was war in the heaven: Michael and his angels went to war with the dragon. And the dragon fought, and his angels; Rev. 12:7
and he prevailed not, nor was their place found any more in the heaven. Rev. 12:8
And the great dragon was cast out, the ancient serpent, he who is called Devil and Satan, he who deceives the whole habitable world, he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him. Rev. 12:9
And I heard a great voice in the heaven saying, Now is come the salvation and the power and the kingdom of our God, and the authority of his Christ; for the accuser of our brethren has been cast out, who accused them before our God day and night: Rev. 12:10
and *they* have overcome him by reason of the blood of the Lamb, and by reason of the word of their testimony, and have not loved their life even unto death. Rev. 12:11
Therefore be full of delight, ye heavens, and ye that dwell in them. Woe to the earth and to the sea, because the devil has come down to you, having great rage, knowing he has a short time. Rev. 12:12
And when the dragon saw that he had been cast out into the earth, he persecuted the woman which bore the male child. Rev. 12:13
And there were given to the woman the two wings of the great eagle, that she might fly into the desert into her place, where she is nourished there a time, and times, and half a time, from the face of the serpent. Rev. 12:14
And the serpent cast out of his mouth behind the woman water as a river, that he might make her be as one carried away by a river. Rev. 12:15
And the earth helped the woman, and the earth opened its mouth and swallowed the river which the dragon cast out of his mouth. Rev. 12:16
And the dragon was angry with the woman, and went to make war with the remnant of her seed, who keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus. Rev. 12:17
And I stood upon the sand of the sea; and I saw a beast rising out of the sea, having ten horns and seven heads, and upon its horns ten diadems, and upon its heads names of blasphemy. Rev. 13:1
And the beast which I saw was like to a leopardess, and its feet as of a bear, and its mouth as a lion's mouth; and the dragon gave to it his power, and his throne, and great authority; Rev. 13:2
and one of his heads was as slain to death, and his wound of death had been healed: and the whole earth wondered after the beast. Rev. 13:3
And they did homage to the dragon, because he gave the authority to the beast; and they did homage to the beast, saying, Who is like to the beast? and who can make war with it? Rev. 13:4
And it opened its mouth for blasphemies against God, to blaspheme his name and his tabernacle, and those who have their tabernacle in the heaven. Rev. 13:6
And there was given to it to make war with the saints, and to overcome them; and there was given to it authority over every tribe, and people, and tongue, and nation; Rev. 13:7
and all that dwell on the earth shall do it homage, every one whose name had not been written from the founding of the world in the book of life of the slain Lamb. Rev. 13:8
If any one leads into captivity, he goes into captivity. If any one shall kill with the sword, he must with the sword be killed. Here is the endurance and the faith of the saints. Rev. 13:10
And I saw another beast rising out of the earth; and it had two horns like to a lamb, and spake as a dragon; Rev. 13:11
and it exercises all the authority of the first beast before it, and causes the earth and those that dwell in it to do homage to the first beast, whose wound of death was healed. Rev. 13:12
And it works great signs, that it should cause even fire to come down from heaven to the earth before men. Rev. 13:13
And it deceives those that dwell upon the earth by reason of the signs which it was given to it to work before the beast, saying to those that dwell upon the earth to make an image to the beast, which has the wound of the sword, and lived. Rev. 13:14
And it was given to it to give breath to the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should also speak, and should cause that as many as should not do homage to the image of the beast should be killed. Rev. 13:15
And it causes all, the small and the great, and the rich and the poor, and the free and the bondmen, that they should give them a mark upon their right hand or upon their forehead; Rev. 13:16
and that no one should be able to buy or sell save he that had the mark, the name of the beast, or the number of its name. Rev. 13:17
Here is wisdom. He that has understanding let him count the number of the beast: for it is a man's number; and its number is six hundred and sixty-six. Rev. 13:18
And I saw, and behold, the Lamb standing upon mount Zion, and with him a hundred and forty-four thousand, having his name and the name of his Father written upon their foreheads. Rev. 14:1
And I heard a voice out of the heaven as a voice of many waters, and as a voice of great thunder. And the voice which I heard was as of harp-singers harping with their harps; Rev. 14:2
and they sing a new song before the throne, and before the four living creatures and the elders. And no one could learn that song save the hundred and forty-four thousand who were bought from the earth. Rev. 14:3
These are they who have not been defiled with women, for they are virgins: these are they who follow the Lamb wheresoever it goes. These have been bought from men as first-fruits to God and to the Lamb: Rev. 14:4
And I saw another angel flying in mid-heaven, having the everlasting glad tidings to announce to those settled on the earth, and to every nation and tribe and tongue and people, Rev. 14:6
saying with a loud voice, Fear God and give him glory, for the hour of his judgment has come; and do homage to him who has made the heaven and the earth and the sea and fountains of waters. Rev. 14:7
And another, a second, angel followed, saying, Great Babylon has fallen, has fallen, which of the wine of the fury of her fornication has made all nations drink. Rev. 14:8
And another, a third, angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, If any one do homage to the beast and its image, and receive a mark upon his forehead or upon his hand, Rev. 14:9
he also shall drink of the wine of the fury of God prepared unmixed in the cup of his wrath, and he shall be tormented in fire and brimstone before the holy angels and before the Lamb. Rev. 14:10
And the smoke of their torment goes up to ages of ages, and they have no respite day and night who do homage to the beast and to its image, and if any one receive the mark of its name. Rev. 14:11
Here is the endurance of the saints, who keep the commandments of God and the faith of Jesus. Rev. 14:12
And I heard a voice out of the heaven saying, Write, Blessed the dead who die in the Lord from henceforth. Yea, saith the Spirit, that they may rest from their labours; for their works follow with them. Rev. 14:13
And I saw, and behold, a white cloud, and on the cloud one sitting like the Son of man, having upon his head a golden crown, and in his hand a sharp sickle. Rev. 14:14
And another angel came out of the temple, crying with a loud voice to him that sat on the cloud, Send thy sickle and reap; for the hour of reaping is come, for the harvest of the earth is dried. Rev. 14:15
And he that sat on the cloud put his sickle on the earth, and the earth was reaped. Rev. 14:16
And another angel came out of the temple which is in the heaven, he also having a sharp sickle. Rev. 14:17
And another angel came out of the altar, having power over fire, and called with a loud cry to him that had the sharp sickle, saying, Send thy sharp sickle, and gather the bunches of the vine of the earth; for her grapes are fully ripened. Rev. 14:18
And the angel put his sickle to the earth, and gathered the vine of the earth, and cast the bunches into the great wine-press of the fury of God; Rev. 14:19
and the wine-press was trodden without the city, and blood went out of the wine-press to the bits of the horses for a thousand six hundred stadia. Rev. 14:20
And I saw another sign in the heaven, great and wonderful: seven angels having seven plagues, the last; for in them the fury of God is completed. Rev. 15:1
And I saw as a glass sea, mingled with fire, and those that had gained the victory over the beast, and over its image, and over the number of its name, standing upon the glass sea, having harps of God. Rev. 15:2
And they sing the song of Moses bondman of God, and the song of the Lamb, saying, Great and wonderful are thy works, Lord God Almighty; righteous and true are thy ways, O King of nations. Rev. 15:3
And after these things I saw, and the temple of the tabernacle of witness in the heaven was opened; Rev. 15:5
and the seven angels who had the seven plagues came out of the temple, clothed in pure bright linen, and girded about the breasts with golden girdles. Rev. 15:6
And one of the four living creatures gave to the seven angels seven golden bowls, full of the fury of God, who lives to the ages of ages. Rev. 15:7
And the temple was filled with smoke from the glory of God and from his power: and no one could enter into the temple until the seven plagues of the seven angels were completed. Rev. 15:8
And I heard a great voice out of the temple, saying to the seven angels, Go and pour out the seven bowls of the fury of God upon the earth. Rev. 16:1
And the first went and poured out his bowl on the earth; and there came an evil and grievous sore upon the men that had the mark of the beast, and those who worshipped its image. Rev. 16:2
And the second poured out his bowl on the sea; and it became blood, as of a dead man; and every living soul died in the sea. Rev. 16:3
And the third poured out his bowl on the rivers, and on the fountains of waters; and they became blood. Rev. 16:4
And I heard the angel of the waters saying, Thou art righteous, who art and wast, the holy one, that thou hast judged so; Rev. 16:5
for they have poured out the blood of saints and prophets, and thou hast given them blood to drink; they are worthy. Rev. 16:6
And I heard the altar saying, Yea, Lord God Almighty, true and righteous are thy judgments. Rev. 16:7
And the fourth poured out his bowl on the sun; and it was given to it to burn men with fire. Rev. 16:8
And the men were burnt with great heat, and blasphemed the name of God, who had authority over these plagues, and did not repent to give him glory. Rev. 16:9
And the fifth poured out his bowl on the throne of the beast; and its kingdom became darkened; and they gnawed their tongues with distress, Rev. 16:10
and blasphemed the God of the heaven for their distresses and their sores, and did not repent of their works. Rev. 16:11
And the sixth poured out his bowl on the great river Euphrates; and its water was dried up, that the way of the kings from the rising of the sun might be prepared. Rev. 16:12
And I saw out of the mouth of the dragon, and out of the mouth of the beast, and out of the mouth of the false prophet, three unclean spirits, as frogs; Rev. 16:13
for they are the spirits of demons, doing signs; which go out to the kings of the whole habitable world to gather them together to the war of that great day of God the Almighty. Rev. 16:14
And he gathered them together to the place called in Hebrew, Armagedon. Rev. 16:16
And the seventh poured out his bowl on the air; and there came out a great voice from the temple of the heaven, from the throne, saying, It is done. Rev. 16:17
And there were lightnings, and voices, and thunders; and there was a great earthquake, such as was not since men were upon the earth, such an earthquake, so great. Rev. 16:18
And the great city was divided into three parts; and the cities of the nations fell: and great Babylon was remembered before God to give her the cup of the wine of the fury of his wrath. Rev. 16:19
and a great hail, as of a talent weight, comes down out of the heaven upon men; and men blasphemed God because of the plague of hail, for the plague of it is exceeding great. Rev. 16:21
And one of the seven angels, which had the seven bowls, came and spoke with me, saying, Come here, I will shew thee the sentence of the great harlot who sits upon the many waters; Rev. 17:1
with whom the kings of the earth have committed fornication; and they that dwell on the earth have been made drunk with the wine of her fornication. Rev. 17:2
And the woman was clothed in purple and scarlet, and had ornaments of gold and precious stones and pearls, having a golden cup in her hand full of abominations and the unclean things of her fornication; Rev. 17:4
and upon her forehead a name written, Mystery, great Babylon, the mother of the harlots, and of the abominations of the earth. Rev. 17:5
And I saw the woman drunk with the blood of the saints, and with the blood of the witnesses of Jesus. And I wondered, seeing her, with great wonder. Rev. 17:6
And the angel said to me, Why hast thou wondered? *I* will tell thee the mystery of the woman, and of the beast which carries her, which has the seven heads and the ten horns. Rev. 17:7
The beast which thou sawest was, and is not, and is about to come up out of the abyss and go into destruction: and they who dwell on the earth, whose names are not written from the founding of the world in the book of life, shall wonder, seeing the beast, that it was, and is not, and shall be present. Rev. 17:8
Here is the mind that has wisdom: The seven heads are seven mountains, whereon the woman sits. Rev. 17:9
And there are seven kings: five have fallen, one is, the other has not yet come; and when he comes he must remain only a little while. Rev. 17:10
And the beast that was and is not, he also is an eighth, and is of the seven, and goes into destruction. Rev. 17:11
And the ten horns which thou sawest are ten kings, which have not yet received a kingdom, but receive authority as kings one hour with the beast. Rev. 17:12
These have one mind, and give their power and authority to the beast. Rev. 17:13
These shall make war with the Lamb, and the Lamb shall overcome them; for he is Lord of lords and King of kings: and they that are with him called, and chosen, and faithful. Rev. 17:14
And he says to me, The waters which thou sawest, where the harlot sits, are peoples and multitudes and nations and tongues. Rev. 17:15
And the ten horns which thou sawest, and the beast, these shall hate the harlot, and shall make her desolate and naked, and shall eat her flesh, and shall burn her with fire; Rev. 17:16
for God has given to their hearts to do his mind, and to act with one mind, and to give their kingdom to the beast until the words of God shall be fulfilled. Rev. 17:17
And the woman which thou sawest is the great city, which has kingship over the kings of the earth. Rev. 17:18
After these things I saw another angel descending out of the heaven, having great authority: and the earth was lightened with his glory. Rev. 18:1
And he cried with a strong voice, saying, Great Babylon has fallen, has fallen, and has become the habitation of demons, and a hold of every unclean spirit, and a hold of every unclean and hated bird; Rev. 18:2
because all the nations have drunk of the wine of the fury of her fornication; and the kings of the earth have committed fornication with her, and the merchants of the earth have been enriched through the might of her luxury. Rev. 18:3
And I heard another voice out of the heaven saying, Come out of her, my people, that ye have not fellowship in her sins, and that ye do not receive of her plagues: Rev. 18:4
for her sins have been heaped on one another up to the heaven, and God has remembered her unrighteousnesses. Rev. 18:5
Recompense her even as she has recompensed; and double to her double, according to her works. In the cup which she has mixed, mix to her double. Rev. 18:6
for this reason in one day shall her plagues come, death and grief and famine, and she shall be burnt with fire; for strong is the Lord God who has judged her. Rev. 18:8
And the kings of the earth, who have committed fornication, and lived luxuriously with her, shall weep and wail over her, when they see the smoke of her burning, Rev. 18:9
standing afar off, through fear of her torment, saying, Woe, woe, the great city, Babylon, the strong city! for in one hour thy judgment is come. Rev. 18:10
And the merchants of the earth weep and grieve over her, because no one buys their lading any more; Rev. 18:11
And the ripe fruits which were the lust of thy soul have departed from thee, and all fair and splendid things have perished from thee, and they shall not find them any more at all. Rev. 18:14
The merchants of these things, who had been enriched through her, shall stand afar off through fear of her torment, weeping and grieving, Rev. 18:15
saying, Woe, woe, the great city, which was clothed with fine linen and purple and scarlet, and had ornaments of gold and precious stones and pearls! Rev. 18:16
for in one hour so great riches has been made desolate. And every steersman, and every one who sailed to any place, and sailors, and all who exercise their calling on the sea, stood afar off, Rev. 18:17
and cried, seeing the smoke of her burning, saying, What city is like to the great city? Rev. 18:18
and cast dust upon their heads, and cried, weeping and grieving, saying, Woe, woe, the great city, in which all that had ships in the sea were enriched through her costliness! for in one hour she has been made desolate. Rev. 18:19
And a strong angel took up a stone, as a great millstone, and cast it into the sea, saying, Thus with violence shall Babylon the great city be cast down, and shall be found no more at all; Rev. 18:21
and light of lamp shall shine no more at all in thee, and voice of bridegroom and bride shall be heard no more at all in thee; for thy merchants were the great ones of the earth; for by thy sorcery have all the nations been deceived. Rev. 18:23
And in her was found the blood of prophets and saints, and of all the slain upon the earth. Rev. 18:24
After these things I heard as a loud voice of a great multitude in the heaven, saying, Hallelujah: the salvation and the glory and the power of our God: Rev. 19:1
for true and righteous are his judgments; for he has judged the great harlot which corrupted the earth with her fornication, and has avenged the blood of his bondmen at her hand. Rev. 19:2
And a second time they said, Hallelujah. And her smoke goes up to the ages of ages. Rev. 19:3
And the twenty-four elders and the four living creatures fell down and did homage to God who sits upon the throne, saying, Amen, Hallelujah. Rev. 19:4
And a voice came out of the throne, saying, Praise our God, all ye his bondmen, and ye that fear him, small and great. Rev. 19:5
And I heard as a voice of a great crowd, and as a voice of many waters, and as a voice of strong thunders, saying, Hallelujah, for the Lord our God the Almighty has taken to himself kingly power. Rev. 19:6
Let us rejoice and exult, and give him glory; for the marriage of the Lamb is come, and his wife has made herself ready. Rev. 19:7
And it was given to her that she should be clothed in fine linen, bright and pure; for the fine linen is the righteousnesses of the saints. Rev. 19:8
And he says to me, Write, Blessed are they who are called to the supper of the marriage of the Lamb. And he says to me, These are the true words of God. Rev. 19:9
And I fell before his feet to do him homage. And he says to me, See thou do it not. I am thy fellow-bondman, and the fellow-bondman of thy brethren who have the testimony of Jesus. Do homage to God. For the spirit of prophecy is the testimony of Jesus. Rev. 19:10
And I saw the heaven opened, and behold, a white horse, and one sitting on it, called Faithful and True, and he judges and makes war in righteousness. Rev. 19:11
and he is clothed with a garment dipped in blood; and his name is called The Word of God. Rev. 19:13
And the armies which are in the heaven followed him upon white horses, clad in white, pure, fine linen. Rev. 19:14
And out of his mouth goes a sharp two-edged sword, that with it he might smite the nations; and he shall shepherd them with an iron rod; and he treads the wine-press of the fury of the wrath of God the Almighty. Rev. 19:15
And I saw an angel standing in the sun; and he cried with a loud voice, saying to all the birds that fly in mid-heaven, Come, gather yourselves to the great supper of God, Rev. 19:17
And I saw the beast and the kings of the earth and their armies gathered together to make war against him that sat upon the horse, and against his army. Rev. 19:19
And the beast was taken, and the false prophet that was with him, who wrought the signs before him by which he deceived them that received the mark of the beast, and those that worship his image. Alive were both cast into the lake of fire which burns with brimstone; Rev. 19:20
and the rest were slain with the sword of him that sat upon the horse, which goes out of his mouth; and all the birds were filled with their flesh. Rev. 19:21
And I saw an angel descending from the heaven, having the key of the abyss, and a great chain in his hand. Rev. 20:1
And he laid hold of the dragon, the ancient serpent who is the devil and Satan, and bound him a thousand years, Rev. 20:2
and cast him into the abyss, and shut it and sealed it over him, that he should not any more deceive the nations until the thousand years were completed; after these things he must be loosed for a little time. Rev. 20:3
And I saw thrones; and they sat upon them, and judgment was given to them; and the souls of those beheaded on account of the testimony of Jesus, and on account of the word of God; and those who had not done homage to the beast nor to his image, and had not received the mark on their forehead and hand; and they lived and reigned with the Christ a thousand years: Rev. 20:4
the rest of the dead did not live till the thousand years had been completed. This is the first resurrection. Rev. 20:5
Blessed and holy he who has part in the first resurrection: over these the second death has no power; but they shall be priests of God and of the Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand years. Rev. 20:6
And when the thousand years have been completed, Satan shall be loosed from his prison, Rev. 20:7
and shall go out to deceive the nations which are in the four corners of the earth, Gog and Magog, to gather them together to the war, whose number is as the sand of the sea. Rev. 20:8
And they went up on the breadth of the earth, and surrounded the camp of the saints and the beloved city: and fire came down from God out of the heaven and devoured them. Rev. 20:9
And the devil who deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where are both the beast and the false prophet; and they shall be tormented day and night for the ages of ages. Rev. 20:10
And I saw a great white throne, and him that sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled, and place was not found for them. Rev. 20:11
And I saw the dead, great and small, standing before the throne, and books were opened; and another book was opened, which is that of life. And the dead were judged out of the things written in the books according to their works. Rev. 20:12
And the sea gave up the dead which were in it, and death and hades gave up the dead which were in them; and they were judged each according to their works: Rev. 20:13
and death and hades were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death, even the lake of fire. Rev. 20:14
And if any one was not found written in the book of life, he was cast into the lake of fire. Rev. 20:15
And I saw a new heaven and a new earth; for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away, and the sea exists no more. Rev. 21:1
And I saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down out of the heaven from God, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. Rev. 21:2
And I heard a loud voice out of the heaven, saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he shall tabernacle with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, their God. Rev. 21:3
And he shall wipe away every tear from their eyes; and death shall not exist any more, nor grief, nor cry, nor distress shall exist any more, for the former things have passed away. Rev. 21:4
And he that sat on the throne said, Behold, I make all things new. And he says to me, Write, for these words are true and faithful. Rev. 21:5
And he said to me, It is done. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and the end. I will give to him that thirsts of the fountain of the water of life freely. Rev. 21:6
But to the fearful and unbelieving, and sinners, and those who make themselves abominable, and murderers, and fornicators, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, their part is in the lake which burns with fire and brimstone; which is the second death. Rev. 21:8
And there came one of the seven angels which had had the seven bowls full of the seven last plagues, and spoke with me, saying, Come here, I will shew thee the bride, the Lamb's wife. Rev. 21:9
And he carried me away in the Spirit, and set me on a great and high mountain, and shewed me the holy city, Jerusalem, coming down out of the heaven from God, Rev. 21:10
having the glory of God. Her shining was like a most precious stone, as a crystal-like jasper stone; Rev. 21:11
having a great and high wall; having twelve gates, and at the gates twelve angels, and names inscribed, which are those of the twelve tribes of the sons of Israel. Rev. 21:12
On the east three gates; and on the north three gates; and on the south three gates; and on the west three gates. Rev. 21:13
And the wall of the city had twelve foundations, and on them twelve names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb. Rev. 21:14
And he that spoke with me had a golden reed as a measure, that he might measure the city, and its gates, and its wall. Rev. 21:15
And the city lies four-square, and its length is as much as the breadth. And he measured the city with the reed -- twelve thousand stadia: the length and the breadth and height of it are equal. Rev. 21:16
And he measured its wall, a hundred and forty-four cubits, a man's measure, that is, the angel's. Rev. 21:17
And the building of its wall was jasper; and the city pure gold, like pure glass: Rev. 21:18
the foundations of the wall of the city were adorned with every precious stone: the first foundation, jasper; the second, sapphire; the third, chalcedony; the fourth, emerald; Rev. 21:19
the fifth, sardonyx; the sixth, sardius; the seventh, chrysolite; the eighth, beryl; the ninth, topaz; the tenth, chrysoprasus; the eleventh, jacinth; the twelfth, amethyst. Rev. 21:20
And the twelve gates, twelve pearls; each one of the gates, respectively, was of one pearl; and the street of the city pure gold, as transparent glass. Rev. 21:21
And I saw no temple in it; for the Lord God Almighty is its temple, and the Lamb. Rev. 21:22
And the city has no need of the sun nor of the moon, that they should shine for it; for the glory of God has enlightened it, and the lamp thereof is the Lamb. Rev. 21:23
And the nations shall walk by its light; and the kings of the earth bring their glory to it. Rev. 21:24
And they shall bring the glory and the honour of the nations to it. Rev. 21:26
And nothing common, nor that maketh an abomination and a lie, shall at all enter into it; but those only who are written in the book of life of the Lamb. Rev. 21:27
And he shewed me a river of water of life, bright as crystal, going out of the throne of God and of the Lamb. Rev. 22:1
In the midst of its street, and of the river, on this side and on that side, the tree of life, producing twelve fruits, in each month yielding its fruit; and the leaves of the tree for healing of the nations. Rev. 22:2
And no curse shall be any more; and the throne of God and of the Lamb shall be in it; and his servants shall serve him, Rev. 22:3
And night shall not be any more, and no need of a lamp, and light of the sun; for the Lord God shall shine upon them, and they shall reign to the ages of ages. Rev. 22:5
And he said to me, These words are faithful and true; and the Lord God of the spirits of the prophets has sent his angel to shew to his bondmen the things which must soon come to pass. Rev. 22:6
And behold, I come quickly. Blessed is he who keeps the words of the prophecy of this book. Rev. 22:7
And I, John, was he who heard and saw these things. And when I heard and saw, I fell down to do homage before the feet of the angel who shewed me these things. Rev. 22:8
And he says to me, See thou do it not. I am thy fellow-bondman, and the fellow-bondman of thy brethren the prophets, and of those who keep the words of this book. Do homage to God. Rev. 22:9
And he says to me, Seal not the words of the prophecy of this book. The time is near. Rev. 22:10
Let him that does unrighteously do unrighteously still; and let the filthy make himself filthy still; and let him that is righteous practise righteousness still; and he that is holy, let him be sanctified still. Rev. 22:11
*I* am the Alpha and the Omega, the first and the last, the beginning and the end. Rev. 22:13
Blessed are they that wash their robes, that they may have right to the tree of life, and that they should go in by the gates into the city. Rev. 22:14
Without are the dogs, and the sorcerers, and the fornicators, and the murderers, and the idolaters, and every one that loves and makes a lie. Rev. 22:15
*I* Jesus have sent mine angel to testify these things to you in the assemblies. *I* am the root and offspring of David, the bright and morning star. Rev. 22:16
And the Spirit and the bride say, Come. And let him that hears say, Come. And let him that is athirst come; he that will, let him take the water of life freely. Rev. 22:17
*I* testify to every one who hears the words of the prophecy of this book, If any one shall add to these things, God shall add to him the plagues which are written in this book. Rev. 22:18
And if any one take from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part from the tree of life, and out of the holy city, which are written in this book. Rev. 22:19
The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with all the saints. Rev. 22:21
