Joshua:1:7 @Take courage therefore, and be very valiant: that thou mayst observe and do all the law, which Moses my servant hath commanded thee: turn not from it to the right hand or to the left, that thou mayst understand all things which thou dost.
drb@Joshua:2:2 @And it was told the king of Jericho, and was said: Behold there are men come in hither, by night, of the children of Israel, to spy the land.
drb@Joshua:2:6 @But she made the men go up to the top of her house, and covered them with the stalks of flax, which was there.
drb@Joshua:2:12 @And hearing these things we were affrighted, and our heart fainted away, neither did there remain any spirit in us at your coming in: for the Lord your God he is God in heaven above, and in the earth beneath.
drb@Joshua:2:13 @Now therefore swear ye to me by the Lord, that as I have shewn mercy to you, so you also will shew mercy to my father's house: and give me a true token,
drb@Joshua:2:17 @And she said to them: Get ye up to the mountains, lest perhaps they meet you as they return: and there lie ye hid three days, till they come back, and so you shall go on your way.
drb@Joshua:2:23 @But they went and came to the mountains, and stayed there three days till they that pursued them were returned. For having sought them through all the way, they found them not.
drb@Joshua:2:25 @And said: The Lord hath delivered all this land into our hands, and all the inhabitants thereof are overthrown with fear.
drb@Joshua:3:1 @And Josue rose before daylight, and removed the camp: and they departed from Setim, and came to the Jordan, he, and all the children of Israel, and they abode there for three days.
drb@Joshua:3:4 @And let there be between you and the ark the space of two thousand cubits: that you may see it afar off, and know which way you must go: for you have not gone this way before: and take care you come not near the ark.
drb@Joshua:3:10 @And again he said: By this you shall know that the Lord the living God is in the midst of you, and that he shall destroy before your sight the Chanaanite and the Hethite, the Hevite and the Pherezite, the Gergesite also and the Jebusite, and the Amorrhite
drb@Joshua:4:3 @And command them to take out of the midst of the Jordan, where the feet of the priests stood, twelve very hard stones, which you shall set in the place of the camp, where you shall pitch your tents this night.
drb@Joshua:4:7 @You shall answer them: The waters of the Jordan ran off before the ark of the covenant of the Lord, when it passed over the same: therefore were these atones set for a monument of the children of Israel for ever.
drb@Joshua:4:8 @The children of Israel therefore did as Josue commanded them, carrying out of the channel of the Jordan twelve stones, as the Lord had commanded him, according to the number of the children of Israel, unto the place wherein they camped, and there they set them.
drb@Joshua:4:9 @And Josue put other twelve stones in the midst of the channel of the Jordan, where the priests stood that carried the ark of the covenant: and they are there until this present day.
drb@Joshua:4:23 @The Lord your God drying up the waters thereof in your sight, until you passed over:
drb@Joshua:5:1 @Now when all the kings of the Amorrhites, who dwelt beyond the Jordan westward, and all the kings of Chanaan, who possessed the places near the great sea, had heard that the Lord had dried up the waters of the Jordan before the children of Israel, till they passed over, their heart failed them, and there remained no spirit in them, fearing the coming in of the children of Israel.
drb@Joshua:5:16 @Loose, saith he, thy shoes from off thy feet: for the place whereon thou standest is holy. And Josue did as was commanded him.
drb@Joshua:6:2 @And the Lord said to Josue: Behold I have given into thy hands Jericho, and the king thereof, and all the valiant men.
drb@Joshua:6:10 @But Josue had commanded the people, saying: You shall not shout, nor shall your voice be heard, nor any word go out of your mouth: until the day come wherein I shall say to you: Cry, and shout.
drb@Joshua:6:11 @So the ark of the Lord went about the city once a day, and returning into the camp, abode there.
drb@Joshua:6:19 @But whatsoever gold or silver there shall be, or vessels of brass and iron, let it be consecrated to the Lord, laid up in his treasures.
drb@Joshua:6:24 @But they burned the city, and all things that were therein; except the gold and silver, and vessels of brass and iron, which they consecrated into the treasury of the Lord.
drb@Joshua:6:26 @Cursed be the man before the Lord, that shall raise up and build the city of Jericho. In his firstborn may he lay the foundation thereof, and in the last of his children set up its gates.
drb@Joshua:7:4 @There went up therefore three thou- sand fighting men: who immediately turned their backs,
drb@Joshua:7:5 @And were defeated by the men of the city of Hai, and there fell of them six and thirty men: and the enemies pursued them from the gate as far as Sabarim, and they slew them as they fled by the descent: and the heart of the people was struck with fear, and melted like water.
drb@Joshua:7:9 @The Chanaanites, and all the inhabitants of the land will hear of it, and being gathered together will surround us and cut off our name from the earth: and what wilt thou do to thy great name?
drb@Joshua:7:16 @Josue, therefore, when he rose in the morning, made Israel to come by their tribes, and the tribe of Juda was found,
drb@Joshua:7:22 @Josue therefore sent ministers: who running to his tent, found all hidden in the same place, together with the silver.
drb@Joshua:7:25 @Where Josue said: Because thou hast troubled us, the Lord trouble thee this day. And all Israel stoned him: and all things that were his, were consumed with fire.
drb@Joshua:7:26 @And they gathered together upon him a great heap of stones, which remaineth until this present day. And the wrath of the Lord was turned away from them. And the name of that place was called the Valley of Achor, until this day.
drb@Joshua:8:1 @And the Lord said to Josue: Fear not, nor be thou dismayed: take with thee all the multitude of fighting men, arise and go up to the town of Hai. Behold I have delivered into thy hand the king thereof, and the people, and the city, and the land.
drb@Joshua:8:2 @And thou shalt do to the city of Hai, and to the king thereof, as thou hast done to Jericho, and to the king thereof: but the spoils and all the cattle you shall take for a prey to yourselves: lay an ambush for the city behind it.
drb@Joshua:8:11 @And when they were come, and were gone up over against the city, they stood on the north side of the city, between which and them there was a valley in the midst.
drb@Joshua:8:14 @And when the king of Hai saw this, he made haste in the morning, and went out with all the army of the city, and set it in battle array toward the desert, not knowing that there lay an ambush behind his back.
drb@Joshua:8:29 @And he hung the king thereof on a gibbet until the evening and the going down of the sun. Then Josue commanded, and they took down his carcass from the gibbet: and threw it in the very entrance of the city, heaping upon it a great heap of stones, which remaineth until this present day.
drb@Joshua:9:1 @Now When these things were heard of, all the kings beyond the Jordan, that dwelt in the mountains and in the plains, in the places near the sea, and on the coasts of the great sea, they also that dwell by Libanus, the Hethite and the Amorrhite, the Chanaanite, the Pherezite, and the Hevite, and the Jebusite,
drb@Joshua:9:2 @Gathered themselves together, to fight against Josue and Israel with one mind, and one resolution.
drb@Joshua:9:14 @They took therefore of their victuals, and consulted not the mouth of the Lord.
drb@Joshua:9:19 @And they answered them: We have sworn to them in the name of the Lord the God of Israel, and therefore we may not touch them.
drb@Joshua:9:22 @Josue called the Gabaonites and said to them: Why would you impose upon us, saying: We dwell far off from you, whereas you are in the midst of us?
drb@Joshua:9:23 @Therefore you shall be under a curse, and your race shall always be hewers of wood, and carriers of water unto the house of my God.
drb@Joshua:9:24 @They answered: It was told us thy servants, that the Lord thy God had promised his servant Moses to give you all the land, and to destroy all the inhabitants thereof. Therefore we feared exceedingly and provided for our lives. compelled by the dread we had of you and we took this counsel.
drb@Joshua:10:1 @When Adonisedec king of Jerusalem had heard these things, to wit, that Josue had taken Hai, and had destroyed it, (for as he had done to Jericho and the king thereof, so did he to Hai, and its king,) and that the Gabaonites were gone over to Israel, and were their confederates,
drb@Joshua:10:3 @Therefore Adonisedec king of Jerusalem sent to Oham king of Hebron, and to Pharam king of Jerimoth, and to Japhia king of Lachis, and to Dabir king of Eglon, saying:
drb@Joshua:10:6 @But the inhabitants of the city of Gabaon which was besieged, sent to Josue, who then abode in the camp at Galgal, and said to him: Withdraw not thy hands from helping thy servants: come up quickly and save us, and bring us succour: for all the kings of the Amorrhites, who dwell in the mountains, are gathered together against us.
drb@Joshua:10:14 @There was not before nor after so long a day, the Lord obeying the voice of a man, and fighting for Israel.
drb@Joshua:10:21 @And all the army returned to Josue in Maceda, where the camp then was, in good health and without the loss of any one: and no man durst move his tongue against the children of Israel.
drb@Joshua:10:22 @And Josue gave orders, saying: Open the mouth of the cave, and bring forth to me the five kings that lie hid therein.
drb@Joshua:10:27 @And when the sun was down, he commanded the soldiers to take them down from the gibbets. And after they were taken down, they cast them into the cave where they had lain hid, and put great stones at the mouth thereof, which remain until this day.
drb@Joshua:10:28 @The same day Josue took Maceda and destroyed it, with the edge of the sword, and killed the king and all the inhabitants thereof: he left not in it the least remains. And he did to the king of Maceda, as he had done to the king of Jericho.
drb@Joshua:10:30 @And the Lord delivered it with the king thereof into the hands of Israel: and they destroyed the city with the edge of the sword, and all the inhabitants thereof. They left not in it any remains. And they did to the king of Lebna, as they had done to the king of Jericho.
drb@Joshua:10:37 @Took it, and destroyed it with the edge of the sword: the king also thereof, and all the towns of that country, and all the souls that dwelt in it: he left not therein any remains: as he had done to Eglon, so did he also to Hebron, putting to the sword all that he found in it.
drb@Joshua:10:39 @He took it and destroyed it: the king also thereof and all the towns round about he destroyed with the edge of the sword: he left not in it any remains: as he had done to Hebron and Lebna and to their kings, so did he to Dabir and to the king thereof.
drb@Joshua:10:40 @So Josue conquered all the country of the hills and of the south and of the plain, and of Asedoth, with their kings: he left not any remains therein, but slew all that breathed, as the Lord the God of Israel had commanded him,
drb@Joshua:11:3 @To the Chanaanites also on the ease and on the west, and the Amorrhite, and the Hethite, and the Pherezite, and the Jebusite in the mountains: to the Hevite also who dwelt at the foot of Hermon in the land of Maspha.
drb@Joshua:11:8 @And the Lord delivered them into the hands of Israel. And they defeated them, and chased them as far as the great Sidon, and the waters of Maserophot, and the field of Masphe, which is on the east side thereof. He slew them all, so as to leave no remains of them:
drb@Joshua:11:10 @And presently turning back he took Asor: and slew the king thereof with the sword. Now Asor of old was the head of all these kingdoms.
drb@Joshua:11:11 @And he cut off all the souls that abode there: he left not in it any remains, but utterly destroyed all, and burned the city itself with fire
drb@Joshua:11:16 @So Josue took all the country of the hills, and of the south, and the land of Gosen, and the plains and the west country, and the mountain of Israel, and the plains thereof:
drb@Joshua:11:19 @There was hot a city that delivered itself to the children of Israel, except the Hevite, who dwelt in Gabaon: for he took all by fight.
drb@Joshua:12:8 @As well in the mountains as in the plains and the champaign countries. In Asedoth, and in the wilderness, and in the south was the Hethite and the Amorrhite, the Chanaanite and the Pherezite, the Hevite and the Jebusite.
drb@Joshua:12:14 @The king of Herma one, the king of Hered one,
drb@Joshua:13:1 @Josue was old, and far advanced in years, and the Lord said to him: Thou art grown old, and advanced in age, and there is a very large country left, which is not yet divided by lot:
drb@Joshua:13:30 @The beginning whereof is this: from Manaim all Basan, and all the kingdoms of Og king of Basan, and all the villages of Jair, which are in Basan, threescore towns.
drb@Joshua:14:10 @The Lord therefore hath granted me life, as he promised until this present day. It is forty and five years since the Lord spoke this word to Moses, when Israel journeyed through the wilderness: this day I am eighty-five years old,
drb@Joshua:14:12 @Give me therefore this mountain, which the Lord promised, in thy hearing also, wherein are the Enacims, and cities great and strong: if so be the Lord will be with me, and I shall be able to destroy them, as he promised me.
drb@Joshua:14:15 @The name of Hebron before was called Cariath-Arbe: Adam the greatest among the Enacims was laid there: and the land rested from wars.
drb@Joshua:15:2 @Its beginning was from the top of the most salt sea, and from the bay thereof, that looketh to the south.
drb@Joshua:15:4 @And from thence passing along into Asemona, and reaching the torrent of Egypt: and the bounds thereof shall be the great sea, this shall be the limit of the south coast.
drb@Joshua:15:7 @And reaching as far as the borders of Debara from the valley of Achor, and so northward looking towards Galgal, which is opposite to the ascent of Adommin, on the south side of the torrent: and the border passeth the waters that are called the fountain of the sun: and the goings out thereof shall be at the fountain Rogel.
drb@Joshua:15:45 @Accaron with the towns and villages thereof.
drb@Joshua:15:46 @From Accaron even to the sea: all places that lie towards Azotus and the villages thereof.
drb@Joshua:15:47 @Azotus with its towns and villages. Gaza with its towns and villages, even to the torrent of Egypt, and the great sea that is the border thereof.
drb@Joshua:16:1 @And the lot of the sons of Joseph fell from the Jordan over against Jericho and the waters thereof, on the east: the wilderness which goeth up from Jericho to the mountain of Bethel:
drb@Joshua:16:8 @From Taphua it passeth on towards the sea into the valley of reeds, and the goings out thereof are at the most salt sea. This is the possession of the tribe of the children of Ephraim by their families.
drb@Joshua:16:9 @And there were cities with their villages separated for the children of Ephraim in the midst of the possession of the children of Manasses.
drb@Joshua:17:5 @And there fell ten portions to Manasses, beside the land of Galaad and Basan beyond the Jordan.
drb@Joshua:17:11 @And the inheritance of Manasses in Issachar and in Aser, was Bethsan and its villages, and Jeblaam with its villages, and the inhabitants of Dor, with the towns thereof: the inhabitants also of Endor with the villages thereof: and in like manner the inhabitants of Thenac with the villages thereof: and the inhabitants of Mageddo with their villages, and the third part of the city of Nopheth.
drb@Joshua:17:14 @And the children of Joseph spoke to Josue, and said: Why hast thou given me but one lot and one portion to possess, whereas I am of so great a multitude, and the Lord hath blessed me?
drb@Joshua:17:15 @And Josue said to them: If thou be a great people, go up into the woodland, and cut down room for thyself in the land of the Pherezite and the Raphaims: because the possession of mount Ephraim is too narrow for thee.
drb@Joshua:17:16 @And the children of Joseph answered him: We cannot go up to the mountains, for the Chanaanites that dwell in the low lands, wherein are situate Bethsan with its towns, and Jezrael in the midst of the valley, have chariots of iron
drb@Joshua:18:1 @And all the children of Israel assembled together in Silo, and there they set up the tabernacle of the testimony, and the land was subdued before them.
drb@Joshua:18:2 @But there remained seven tribes of the children of Israel, which as yet had not received their possessions.
drb@Joshua:18:15 @And it bendeth thence going round towards the sea, south of the mountain that looketh towards Beth-horon to the southwest: and the outgoings thereof are into Cariathbaal, which is called also Cariathiarim, a city of the children of Juda. This is their coast towards the sea, westward.
drb@Joshua:18:20 @And it passeth by Bethhagla northward: and the outgoings thereof are towards the north of the most salt sea at the south end of the Jordan:
drb@Joshua:19:9 @In the possession and lot of the children of Juda: because it was too great, and therefore the children of Simeon had their possession in the midst of their inheritance.
drb@Joshua:19:14 @And it turneth about to the north of Hanathon: and the outgoings thereof are the valley of Jephtahel,
drb@Joshua:19:22 @And the border thereof cometh to Thabor and Sehesima and Bethsames: and the outgoings thereof shall be at the Jordan: sixteen cities, and their villages.
drb@Joshua:19:29 @And it returneth to Horma to the strong city of Tyre, and to Hosa: and the outgoings thereof shall be at the sea from the portion of Achziba:
drb@Joshua:19:38 @And Jeron and Magdalel, Herem, and Bethanath and Bethsames: nineteen cities, and their villages.
drb@Joshua:19:47 @And is terminated there. And the children of Dan went up and fought against Lesem, and took it: and they put it to the sword, and possessed it, and dwelt in it, calling the name of it Lesem Dan, by the name of Dan their father.
drb@Joshua:21:11 @The city of Arbe the father of Enac, which is called Hebron, in the mountain of Juda, and the suburbs thereof round about.
drb@Joshua:21:12 @But the fields and the villages thereof he had given to Caleb the son of Jephone for his possession.
drb@Joshua:21:13 @He gave therefore to the children of Aaron the priest, Hebron a city of refuge, and the suburbs thereof: and Lobna with the suburbs thereof,
drb@Joshua:21:21 @Of the tribe of Ephraim, Sichem one of the cities of refuge, with the suburbs thereof in mount Ephraim, and Cater,
drb@Joshua:22:4 @Therefore as the Lord your God hath given your brethren rest and peace, as he promised: return, and go to your dwellings, and to the land of your possession, which Moses the servant of the Lord gave you beyond the Jordan:
drb@Joshua:22:7 @Now to half the tribe of Manasses, Moses had given a possession in Basan: and therefore to the half that remained, Josue gave a lot among the rest of their brethren beyond the Jordan to the west. And when he sent them away to their dwellings and had blessed them,
drb@Joshua:22:19 @But if you think the land of your possession to be unclean, pass over to the land wherein is the tabernacle of the Lord, and dwell among us: only depart not from the Lord, and from our society, by building an altar beside the altar of the Lord our God.
drb@Joshua:22:25 @The Lord hath put the river Jordan for a border between us and you, O ye children of Ruben, and ye children of Gad: and therefore you have no part in the Lord. And by this occasion you children shall turn away our children from the fear of the Lord. We therefore thought, it best,
drb@Joshua:23:15 @Therefore as he hath fulfilled in deed, what he promised, and all things prosperous have come: so Will he bring upon you all the evils he hath threatened, till he take you away and destroy you from off this excellent land, which he hath given you,
drb@Joshua:24:1 @And Josue gathered together all the tribes of Israel in Sichem, and called for the ancients, and the princes, and the judges, and the masters: and they stood in the sight of the Lord:
drb@Joshua:24:11 @And you passed over the Jordan, and you came to Jericho. And the men of that city fought against you, the Amorrhite, and the Pherezite, and the Chanaanite, and the Hethite, and the Gergesite, and the Hevite, and the Jebusite: and I delivered them into your hands.
drb@Joshua:24:14 @Now therefore fear the Lord, and serve him with a perfect and most sincere heart: and put away the gods which your fathers served in Mesopotamia and in Egypt, and serve the Lord.
drb@Joshua:24:18 @And he hath cast out all the nations, the Amorrhite the inhabitant of the land into which we are come. Therefore we will serve the Lord, for he is our God.
drb@Joshua:24:23 @Now therefore, said he, put away strange gods from among you, and incline your hearts to the Lord the God of Israel.
drb@Joshua:24:25 @Josue therefore on that day made a covenant, and set before the people commandments and judgments in Sichem.
drb@Joshua:24:27 @And he said to all the people: Behold this stone shall be a testimony unto you, that it hath heard all the words of the Lord, which he hath spoken to you: lest perhaps hereafter you will deny it, and lie to the Lord your God.
drb@Judges:1:4 @And Juda went up, and the Lord delivered the Chanaanite, and the Pherezite into their hands: and they slew of them in Bezec ten thousand men.
drb@Judges:1:5 @And they found Adonibezec in Bezec, and fought against him, and they defeated the Chanaanite, and the Pherezite.
drb@Judges:1:7 @And Adonibezec said: Seventy kings having their fingers and toes cut off, gathered up the leavings of the meat under my table: as I have done, so hath God requited me. And they brought him to Jerusalem, and he died there.
drb@Judges:1:10 @And Juda going forward against the Chanaanite, that dwelt in Hebron (the name whereof was in former times Cariath-Arbe) slew Sesai, and Ahiman, and Tholmai:
drb@Judges:1:26 @Who being sent away, went into the land of Hethim, and built there a city, and called it Luza: which is so called until this day.
drb@Judges:2:3 @Wherefore I would not destroy them from before your face: that you may have enemies, and their gods may be your ruin.
drb@Judges:2:5 @And the name of that place was called, The place of weepers, or of tears: and there they offered sacrifices to the Lord.
drb@Judges:2:10 @And all that generation was gathered to their fathers: and there arose others that knew not the Lord, and the works which he had done for Israel.
drb@Judges:2:23 @The Lord therefore left all these nations, and would not quickly destroy them, neither did he deliver them into the hands of Josue.
drb@Judges:3:5 @So the children of Israel dwelt in the midst of the Chanaanite, and the Hethite, and the Amorrhite, and the Pherezite, and the Hevite, and the Jebusite:
drb@Judges:3:16 @And he made himself a two-edged sword, with a haft in the midst of the length of the palm of the hand, and was girded therewith under his garment on the right thigh.
drb@Judges:3:19 @Then returning from Galgal, where the idols were, be said to the king: I have a secret message to thee, O king. And he commanded silence: and all being gone out that were about him,
drb@Judges:4:4 @And there was at that time Debbora a prophetess the wife of Lapidoth, who judged the people,
drb@Judges:4:9 @She said to him: I will go indeed with thee, but at this time the victory shall not be attributed to thee, because Sisara shall be delivered into the hand of a woman. Debbora therefore arose, and went with Barac to Cedes.
drb@Judges:4:13 @And he gathered together his nine hundred chariots armed with scythes, and all his army from Haroseth of the Gentiles to the torrent Cison.
drb@Judges:4:14 @And Debbora said to Barac: Arise, for this is the day wherein the Lord hath delivered Sisara into thy hands: behold he is thy leader. And Barac went down from mount Thabor, and ten thousand fighting men with him.
drb@Judges:4:17 @But Sisara fleeing came to the tent of Jahel the wife of Haber the Cinite, for there was peace between Jabin the king of Asor, and the house of Haber the Cinite.
drb@Judges:4:20 @And Sisara said to her: Stand before the door of the tent, and when any shall come and inquire of thee, saying: Is there any man here? thou shalt say: There is none.
drb@Judges:5:11 @Where the chariots were dashed together, and the army of the enemies was choked, there let the justices of the Lord be rehearsed, and his clemency towards the brave men of Israel: then the people of the Lord went down to the gates, and obtained the sovereignty.
drb@Judges:5:14 @Out of Ephraim he destroyed them into Amalec, and after him out of Benjamin into thy people, O Amalec: Out of Machir there came down princes, and out of Zabulon they that led the army to fight.
drb@Judges:5:15 @The captains of Issachar were with Debbora, and followed the steps of Barac, who exposed himself to danger, as one going headlong, and into a pit. Ruben being divided against himself, there was found a strife of courageous men.
drb@Judges:5:16 @Why dwellest thou between two borders, that thou mayest hear the bleatings of the flocks? Ruben being divided against himself, there was found a strife of courageous men.
drb@Judges:5:23 @Curse ye the land of Meroz, said the angel of the Lord: curse the inhabitants thereof, because they came not to the help of the Lord, to help his most valiant men.
drb@Judges:6:13 @And Gedeon said to him: I beseech thee, my lord, if the Lord be with us, why have these evils fallen upon us? Where are his miracles, which our fathers have told us of, saying: The Lord brought us Out of Egypt? but now the Lord hath forsaken us, and delivered us into the bands of Madian.
drb@Judges:6:15 @He answered and said: I beseech thee, my lord, wherewith shall I deliver Israel? Behold my family is the meanest in Manasses, and I am the least in my father's house.
drb@Judges:6:20 @And the angel of the Lord said to him: Take the flesh and the unleavened loaves, and lay them upon that rock, and pour out the broth thereon. And when he had done so,
drb@Judges:6:21 @The angel of the Lord put forth the tip of the rod, which he held in his hand, and touched the flesh and the unleavened loaves: and there arose a fire from the rock, and consumed the flesh and the unleavened loaves: and the angel of the Lord vanished out of his sight.
drb@Judges:6:24 @And Gedeon built there an altar to the Lord, and called it the Lord's peace, until this present day. And when he was yet in Ephra, which is of the family of Ezri,
drb@Judges:6:26 @And thou shalt build an altar to the Lord thy God in the top of this rock, whereupon thou didst lay the sacrifice before: and thou shalt take the second bullock, and shalt offer a holocaust upon a pile of the wood, which thou shalt cut down out of the grove.
drb@Judges:6:33 @Now all Madian, and Amalec, and the eastern people were gathered together, and passing over the Jordan, camped in the valley of Jezrael.
drb@Judges:6:37 @I will put this fleece of wool on the floor: if there be dew on the fleece only, and it be dry on all the ground beside, I, shall know that by my hand, as thou hast said, thou wilt deliver Israel.
drb@Judges:6:40 @And God did that night as he had requested: and it was dry on the fleece only, and there was dew on all the ground.
drb@Judges:7:4 @And the Lord said to Gedeon: The people are still too many, bring them to the waters, and there I will try them: and of whom I shall say to thee, This shall go with thee, let him go: whom I shall forbid to go, let him return.
drb@Judges:7:11 @And when thou shalt hear what they are saying, then shall thy hands be strengthened, and thou shalt go down more secure to the enemies' camp. And he went down with Phara his servant into part of the camp, where was the watch of men in arms.
drb@Judges:7:15 @And when Gedeon had heard the dream, and the interpretation thereof, he adored: and returned to the camp of Israel, and said: Arise, for the Lord hath delivered the camp of Madian into our hands.
drb@Judges:8:6 @The princes of Soccoth answered: Peradventure the palms of the hands of Zebee and Salmana are in thy hand, and therefore thou demandest that we should give bread to thy army.
drb@Judges:8:7 @And he said to them: When the Lord therefore shall have delivered Zebee and Salmana into my hands, I will thresh your flesh with the thorns and briers of the desert.
drb@Judges:8:9 @He said therefore to them also: When I shall return a conqueror in peace, I will destroy this tower.
drb@Judges:8:15 @And he came to Soccoth and said to them: Behold Zebee and Salmana, concerning whom you upbraided me, saying: Peradventure the hands of Zebee and Salmana, are in thy hands, and therefore thou demandest that we should give bread to the men that are weary and faint.
drb@Judges:8:27 @And Gedeon made an ephod thereof, and put it in his city Ephra. And all Israel committed fornication with it, and it became a ruin to Gedeon and to all his house.
drb@Judges:9:4 @And they gave him seventy weight of silver out of the temple of Baalberith: wherewith he hired to himself men that were needy, and vagabonds, and they followed him.
drb@Judges:9:5 @And he came to his father's house in Ephra, and slew his brethren the sons of Jerobaal, seventy men, upon one stone: and there remained only Joatham the youngest son of Jerobaal, who was hidden.
drb@Judges:9:6 @And all the men of Sichem were gathered together, and all the families of the city of Mello: and they went and made Abimelech king, by the oak that stood in Sichem.
drb@Judges:9:16 @Now therefore if you have done well, and without sin in appointing Abimelech king over you, and have dealt well with Jerobaal, and with his house, and have made a suitable return for the benefits of him, who fought for you,
drb@Judges:9:19 @If therefore you have dealt well, and without fault with Jerobaal, and his house, rejoice ye this day in Abimelech, and may he rejoice in you.
drb@Judges:9:21 @And when he had said thus he fled, and went into Bera: and dwelt there for fear of Abimelech his brother.
drb@Judges:9:32 @Arise therefore in the night with the people that is with thee and he hid in the field:
drb@Judges:9:34 @Abimelech therefore arose with all his army by night, and laid ambushes near Sichem in four places.
drb@Judges:9:37 @Again Gaal said: Behold there cometh people down from the middle of the land, and one troop cometh by the way that looketh towards the oak.
drb@Judges:9:38 @And Zebul said to him: Where is now thy mouth wherewith thou saidst? Who is Abimelech that we should serve him? Is not this the people which thou didst despise? Go out, and fight against him.
drb@Judges:9:45 @And Abimelech assaulted the city all that day: and took it, and killed the inhabitants thereof, and demolished it, so that he sowed salt in it.
drb@Judges:9:46 @And when they who dwelt in the tower of Sichem had heard this, they went into the temple of their god Berith where they had made a covenant with him, and from thence the place had taken its name, and it was exceeding strong.
drb@Judges:9:47 @Abimelech also hearing that the men of the tower of Sichem were gathered together,
drb@Judges:9:51 @And there was in the midst of the city a high tower, to which both the men and the women were fled together, and all the princes of the city, and having shut and strongly barred the gate, they stood upon the battlements of the tower to defend themselves.
drb@Judges:10:1 @After Abimelech there arose a ruler in Israel, Thola son of Phua the uncle of Abimelech, a man of Issachar, who dwelt in Samir of mount Ephraim:
drb@Judges:10:13 @And yet you have forsaken me, and have worshipped strange gods: therefore I will deliver you no more:
drb@Judges:11:1 @There was at that time Jephte the Galaadite, a most valiant man and a warrior, the son of a woman that was a harlot, and his father was Galaad.
drb@Judges:11:3 @Then he fled and avoided them and dwelt in the land of Tob: and there were gathered to him needy men, and robbers, and they followed him as their prince.
drb@Judges:11:11 @Jephte therefore went with the princes of Galaad, and all the people made him their prince
drb@Judges:11:13 @And he answered them: I Because Israel took away my land when he came up out of Egypt, from the confines of the Arnon unto the Jaboc and the Jordan: now therefore restore the same peaceably to me.
drb@Judges:11:17 @And he sent messengers to the king of Edom, saying: Suffer me to pass through thy land. But he would not condescend to his request. He sent also to the king of Moab, who likewise refused to give him passage. He abode therefore in Cades,
drb@Judges:11:22 @And all the coasts thereof from the Arnon to the Jaboc, and from the wilderness to the Jordan.
drb@Judges:11:26 @Whereas he hath dwelt in Hesebon, and the villages thereof, and in Aroer, and its villages, and in all the cities near the Jordan, for three hundred years. Why have you for so long a time attempted nothing about this claim?
drb@Judges:11:27 @Therefore I do not trespass against thee, but thou wrongest me by declaring an unjust war against me. The Lord be judge and decide this day between Israel and the children of Ammon.
drb@Judges:11:29 @Therefore the spirit of the Lord came upon Jephte, and going round Galaad, and Manasses, and Maspha of Galaad, and passing over from thence to the children of Ammon,
drb@Judges:12:1 @But behold there arose a sedition in Ephraim. And passing towards the north, they said to Jephte: When thou wentest to fight against the children of Ammon, why wouldst thou not call us, that we might go with thee? Therefore we will burn thy house.
drb@Judges:12:6 @They asked him: Say then, Scibboleth, which is interpreted, An ear of corn. But he answered, Sibboleth, not being able to express an ear of corn by the same letter. Then presently they took him and killed him in the very passage of the Jordan. And there fell at that time of Ephraim two and forty thousand.
drb@Judges:13:2 @Now there was a certain man of Saraa, and of the race of Dan, whose name was Manue, and his wife was barren.
drb@Judges:13:4 @Now therefore beware and drink no wine nor strong drink, and eat not any unclean thing.
drb@Judges:14:1 @Then Samson went down to Thamnatlia, and seeing there a woman of the daughters of the Philistines,
drb@Judges:14:3 @And his father and mother said to him: Is there no woman among the daughters of thy brethren, or among all my people, that thou wilt take a wife of the Philistines, who are uncircumcised? And Samson said to his father: Take this woman for me, for she hath pleased my eyes.
drb@Judges:14:8 @And after some days returning to take her, he went aside to see the carcass of the lion, and behold there was a swarm of bees in the mouth of the lion and a honeycomb.
drb@Judges:14:16 @So she wept before Samson and complained, saying: Thou hatest me, and dost not love me: therefore thou wilt not expound to me the riddle which thou hast proposed to the sons of my people. But he answered: I would not tell it to my father and mother, and how can I tell it to thee?
drb@Judges:14:19 @And the spirit of the Lord came upon him, and he went down to Ascalon, and slew there thirty men, whose garments he took away and gave to them that had declared the riddle. And being exceeding angry he went up to his father's house:
drb@Judges:15:2 @I thought thou hadst hated her, and therefore I gave her to thy friend: but she hath a sister, who is younger and fairer than she, take her to wife instead of her.
drb@Judges:15:9 @Then the Philistines going up into the land of Juda, camped in the place which afterwards was called Lechi, that is, the Jawbone, where their army was spread.
drb@Judges:15:11 @Wherefore three thousand men of Juda, went down to the cave of the rock Etam, and said to Samson: Knowest thou not that the Philistines rule over us? Why wouldst thou do thus? And he said to them: As they did to me, so have I done to them.
drb@Judges:15:15 @And finding a jawbone, even the jawbone of an ass which lay there, catching it up, be slew therewith a thousand men.
drb@Judges:16:1 @He went also into Gaza, and saw there a woman a harlot, and went in unto her.
drb@Judges:16:2 @And when the Philistines had beard this, and it was noised about among them, that Samson was come into the city, they surrounded him, setting guards at the gate of the city, and watching there all the night in silence, that in the morning they might kill him as he went out.
drb@Judges:16:3 @But Samson slept till midnight, and then rising he took both the doors of the gate, with the posts thereof, and the bolt, and laying them on his shoulders, carried them up to the top of the hill, which looketh towards Hebron.
drb@Judges:16:5 @And the princes of the Philistines came to her, and said: Deceive him, and learn of him wherein his great strength lieth, and how we may be able to overcome him, to bind and afflict him: which if thou shalt do, we will give thee every one of us eleven hundred pieces of silver.
drb@Judges:16:6 @And Dalila said to Samson: Tell me, I beseech thee, wherein thy greatest strength lieth, and what it is wherewith if thou wert bound thou couldst not break loose.
drb@Judges:16:9 @Men lying privately in wait with her, and in the chamber expecting the event of the thing, and she cried out to him: The Philistines are upon thee, Samson. And he broke the bands, as a man would break a thread of tow twined with spittle, when it smelleth the fire: so it was not known wherein his strength Jay.
drb@Judges:16:10 @And Dalila said to him: Behold thou hast mocked me, and hast told me a false thing: but now at least tell me wherewith thou mayest be bound.
drb@Judges:16:12 @Dalila bound him again with these, and cried out: The Philistines are upon thee, Samson, there being an ambush prepared for him in the chamber. But he broke the bands like threads of webs.
drb@Judges:16:13 @And Dalila said to him again: How long dost thou deceive me, and tell me lies? Shew me wherewith thou mayest be bound. And Samson answered her: If thou plattest the seven locks of my head with a lace, and tying them round about a nail fastenest it in the ground, I shall be weak.
drb@Judges:16:15 @And Dalila said to him: How dost thou say thou lovest me, when thy mind is not with me? Thou hast told me lies these three times, and wouldst not tell me wherein thy great strength lieth.
drb@Judges:16:27 @Now the house was full of men and women, and all the princes of the Philistines were there. Moreover about three thousand persons of both sexes from the roof and the higher part of the house, were beholding Samson's play.
drb@Judges:16:30 @He said: Let me die with the Philistines. And when he had strongly shook the pillars, the house fell upon all the princes, and the rest of the multitude that was there: and he killed many more at his death, than he had killed before in his life.
drb@Judges:17:1 @There was at that time a man of mount Ephraim whose name was Michas,
drb@Judges:17:5 @And he separated also therein a little temple for the god, and made an ephod, and theraphim, that is to say, a priestly garment, and idols: and he filled the hand of one of his sons, and he became his priest.
drb@Judges:17:6 @In those days there was no king in Israel, but every one did that which seemed right to himself.
drb@Judges:17:7 @There was also another young man of Bethlehem Juda, of the kindred thereof: and he was a Levite, and dwelt there.
drb@Judges:17:8 @Now he went out from the city of Bethlehem, and desired to sojourn wheresoever he should find it convenient for him. And when he was come to mount Ephraim, as he was on his journey, and had turned aside a little into the house of Michas,
drb@Judges:17:9 @He was asked by him whence he came. And he answered: I am a Levite of Bethlehem Juda, and I am going to dwell where I can, and where I shall find a place to my advantage.
drb@Judges:18:1 @In those days there was no king in Israel, and the tribe of Dan sought them an inheritance to dwell in: for unto that day they had not received their lot among the other tribes.
drb@Judges:18:2 @So the children of Dan sent five most valiant men of their stock and family from Saraa and Esthaol, to spy out the land, and to view it diligently: and they said to them: Go, and view the land. They went on their way, and when they came to mount Ephraim, they went into the house of Michas, and rested there:
drb@Judges:18:3 @And knowing the voice of the young man the Levite, and lodging with him, they said to him: Who brought thee hither? what dost thou here? why wouldst thou come hither?
drb@Judges:18:7 @So the five men going on came to Lais: and they saw how the people dwelt therein without any fear, according to the custom of the Sidonians, secure and easy, having no man at all to oppose them, being very rich, and living separated, at a distance from Sidon and from all men.
drb@Judges:18:9 @Arise, and let us go up to them: for we have seen the land which is exceeding rich and fruitful: neglect not, lose no time: let us go and possess it, there will be no difficulty.
drb@Judges:18:10 @We shall come to a people that is secure, into a spacious country, and the Lord will deliver the place to us, in which there is no want of any thing that groweth on the earth
drb@Judges:18:11 @There went therefore of the kindred of Dan, to wit, from Saraa and Esthaol, six hundred men, furnished with arms for war,
drb@Judges:18:14 @The five men, that before had been sent to view the land of Lais, said to the rest of their brethren: You know that in these houses there is an ephod, and theraphim, and a graven, and a molten god: see what you are pleased to do.
drb@Judges:18:28 @There being no man at all who brought them any succour, because they dwelt far from Sidon, and had no society or business with any man. And the city was in the land of Rohob: and they rebuilt it and dwelt therein.
drb@Judges:18:31 @And the idol of Michas remained with them all the time that the house of God was in Silo. In those days there was no king in Israel.
drb@Judges:19:1 @There was a certain Levite, who dwelt on the side of mount Ephraim, who took a wife of Bethlehem Juda:
drb@Judges:19:6 @And they sat down together, and ate and drank. And the father of the young woman said to his son in law: I beseech thee to stay here to day, and let us make merry together.
drb@Judges:19:11 @And now they were come near Jebus, and the day was far spent: and the servant said to his master: Come, I beseech thee, let us turn into the city of the Jebusites, and lodge there.
drb@Judges:19:13 @And when I shall come thither, we will lodge there, or at least in the city of Rama.
drb@Judges:19:15 @And they turned into it, to lodge there. And when they were come in, they sat in the street of the city, for no man would receive them to lodge.
drb@Judges:19:26 @But the woman, at the dawning of the day, came to the door of the house where her lord lodged, and there fell down.
drb@Judges:19:30 @And when every one had seen this, they all cried out: There was never such a thing done in Israel from the day that our fathers came up out of Egypt, until this day: give sentence, and decree in common what ought to be done.
drb@Judges:20:1 @Then all the children of Israel went out and gathered together as one man from Dan to Bersabee, with the land of Galaad, to the Lord in Maspha:
drb@Judges:20:4 @Answered: I came into Gabaa of Benjamin with my wife, and there I lodged:
drb@Judges:20:5 @And behold the men of that city in the night beset the house wherein I was, intending to kill me, and abused my wife with an incredible fury of lust, so that at last she died.
drb@Judges:20:6 @And I took her and cut her in pieces, and sent the, parts into all the borders of your possession: because there never was so heinous a crime, and so great an abomination committed in Israel.
drb@Judges:20:7 @You are all here, O children of Israel, determine what you ought to do.
drb@Judges:20:11 @And all Israel were gathered together against the city, as one man, with one mind, and one counsel:
drb@Judges:20:14 @But out of all the cities which were of their lot, they gathered themselves together into Gabaa, to aid them, and to fight against the whole people of Israel.
drb@Judges:20:15 @And there were found of Benjamin five and twenty thousand men that drew the sword, besides the inhabitants of Gabaa,
drb@Judges:20:22 @Again Israel trusting in their strength and their number, set their army in array in the same place, where they had fought before:
drb@Judges:20:26 @Wherefore all the children of Israel came to the house of God, and sat and wept before the Lord: and they fasted that day till the evening, and offered to him holocausts, and victims of peace offerings,
drb@Judges:20:27 @And inquired of him concerning their state. At that time the ark of the covenant of the Lord was there,
drb@Judges:20:31 @And the children of Benjamin boldly issued out of the city, and seeing their enemies flee, pursued them a long way, so as to wound and kill some of them, as they had done the first and second day, whilst they fled by two highways, whereof one goeth up to Bethel, and the other to Gabaa, and they slew about thirty men:
drb@Judges:20:33 @Then all the children of Israel rising up out of the places where they were, set their army in battle array, in the place which is called Baalthamar. The ambushes also which were about the city, began by little and little to come forth,
drb@Judges:20:43 @And so it was, that they were slain on both sides by the enemies, and there was no rest of their men dying. They fell and were beaten down on the east side of the city Gabaa.
drb@Judges:20:47 @And there remained of all the number of Benjamin only six hundred men that were able to escape, and flee to the wilderness: and they abode in the rock Remmon four months.
drb@Judges:21:4 @And rising early the next day, they built an altar: and offered there holocausts, and victims of peace, and they said:
drb@Judges:21:5 @Who is there among all the tribes of Israel that came not up with the army of the Lord? for they had bound themselves with a great oath, when they were in Maspha, that whosoever were wanting should be slain.
drb@Judges:21:8 @Therefore they said: Who is thereof all the tribes of Israel, that came not up to the Lord to Maspha. And behold the inhabitants of Jabes Galaad were found not to have been in that army.
drb@Judges:21:9 @(At that time also when they were in Silo, no one of them was found there.)
drb@Judges:21:12 @And there were found of Jabes Galaad four hundred virgins, that had not known the bed of a man, and they brought them to the camp Silo, into the land of Chanaan.
drb@Judges:21:18 @For as to our own daughters we cannot give them, being bound with an oath and a curse, whereby we said: Cursed be he that shall give Benjamin any of his daughters to wife.
drb@Judges:21:19 @So they took counsel, and said: Behold there is a yearly solemnity of the Lord in Silo, which is situate on the north of the city of Bethel, and on the east side of the way, that goeth from Bethel to Sichem, and on the south of the town of Lebona.
drb@Judges:21:24 @The children of Israel also returned by their tribes, and families, to their dwellings. In those days there was no king in Israel: but every one did that which seemed right to himself.
drb@Ruth:1:1 @In the days of one of the judges, when the judges ruled, there came a famine in the land. And a certain man of Bethlehem Juda, went to sojourn in the land of Moab with his wife and his two sons.
drb@Ruth:1:2 @He was named Elimelech, and his wife, Noemi: and his two sons, the one Mahalon, and the other Chelion, Ephrathites of Bethlehem Juda. And entering into the country of Moab, they abode there.
drb@Ruth:1:4 @And they took wives of the women of Moab, of which one was called Orpha, and the other Ruth. And they dwelt there ten years.
drb@Ruth:1:7 @Wherefore she went forth out of the place of her sojournment, with both her daughters in law: and being now in the way to return into the land of Juda,
