bes@Sir:50:1 @ Simon the high priest, the son of Onias, who in his life repaired the house again, and in his days fortified the temple:

bes@Sir:50:2 @ And by him was built from the foundation the double height, the high fortress of the wall about the temple:

bes@Sir:50:7 @ As the sun shining upon the temple of the most High, and as the rainbow giving light in the bright clouds:

bes@Sir:50:14 @ And finishing the service at the altar, that he might adorn the offering of the most high Almighty,

bes@Sir:50:15 @ He stretched out his hand to the cup, and poured of the blood of the grape, he poured out at the foot of the altar a sweetsmelling savour unto the most high King of all.

bes@Sir:50:16 @ Then shouted the sons of Aaron, and sounded the silver trumpets, and made a great noise to be heard, for a remembrance before the most High.

bes@Sir:50:17 @ Then all the people together hasted, and fell down to the earth upon their faces to worship their Lord God Almighty, the most High.

bes@Sir:50:19 @ And the people besought the Lord, the most High, by prayer before him that is merciful, till the solemnity of the Lord was ended, and they had finished his service.

bes@Sir:50:21 @ And they bowed themselves down to worship the second time, that they might receive a blessing from the most High.

bes@Bar:1:4 @ And in the hearing of the nobles, and of the king’s sons, and in the hearing of the elders, and of all the people, from the lowest unto the highest, even of all them that dwelt at Babylon by the river Sud.

bes@Bar:1:7 @ And they sent it to Jerusalem unto Joachim the high priest, the son of Chelcias, son of Salom, and to the priests, and to all the people which were found with him at Jerusalem,

bes@Bar:2:11 @ And now, O Lord God of Israel, that hast brought thy people out of the land of Egypt with a mighty hand, and high arm, and with signs, and with wonders, and with great power, and hast gotten thyself a name, as appeareth this day:

bes@Bar:3:25 @ Great, and hath none end; high, and unmeasurable.

bes@Bar:5:5 @ Arise, O Jerusalem, and stand on high, and look about toward the east, and behold thy children gathered from the west unto the east by the word of the Holy One, rejoicing in the remembrance of God.

bes@Bar:5:7 @ For God hath appointed that every high hill, and banks of long continuance, should be cast down, and valleys filled up, to make even the ground, that Israel may go safely in the glory of God,

bes@Bar:6:25 @ The things wherein there is no breath are bought for a most high price.

bes@1Macc:3:37 @ So the king took the half of the forces that remained, and departed from Antioch, his royal city, the hundred forty and seventh year; and having passed the river Euphrates, he went through the high countries.

bes@1Macc:4:60 @ At that time also they builded up the mount Sion with high walls and strong towers round about, lest the Gentiles should come and tread it down as they had done before.

bes@1Macc:6:1 @ About that time king Antiochus travelling through the high countries heard say, that Elymais in the country of Persia was a city greatly renowned for riches, silver, and gold;

bes@1Macc:6:7 @ Also that they had pulled down the abomination, which he had set up upon the altar in Jerusalem, and that they had compassed about the sanctuary with high walls, as before, and his city Bethsura.

bes@1Macc:6:40 @ So part of the king’s army being spread upon the high mountains, and part on the valleys below, they marched on safely and in order.

bes@1Macc:6:43 @ Eleazar also, surnamed Savaran, perceiving that one of the beasts, armed with royal harness, was higher than all the rest, and supposing that the king was upon him,

bes@1Macc:7:5 @ There came unto him all the wicked and ungodly men of Israel, having Alcimus, who was desirous to be high priest, for their captain:

bes@1Macc:7:9 @ And him he sent with that wicked Alcimus, whom he made high priest, and commanded that he should take vengeance of the children of Israel.

bes@1Macc:7:21 @ But Alcimus contended for the high priesthood.

bes@1Macc:9:50 @ Afterward returned Bacchides to Jerusalem and repaired the strong cites in Judea; the fort in Jericho, and Emmaus, and Bethhoron, and Bethel, and Thamnatha, Pharathoni, and Taphon, these did he strengthen with high walls, with gates and with bars.

bes@1Macc:10:20 @ Wherefore now this day we ordain thee to be the high priest of thy nation, and to be called the king’s friend; (and therewithal he sent him a purple robe and a crown of gold:) and require thee to take our part, and keep friendship with us.

bes@1Macc:10:32 @ And as for the tower which is at Jerusalem, I yield up authority over it, and give the high priest, that he may set in it such men as he shall choose to keep it.

bes@1Macc:10:38 @ And concerning the three governments that are added to Judea from the country of Samaria, let them be joined with Judea, that they may be reckoned to be under one, nor bound to obey other authority than the high priest’s.

bes@1Macc:10:69 @ Then Demetrius made Apollonius the governor of Celosyria his general, who gathered together a great host, and camped in Jamnia, and sent unto Jonathan the high priest, saying,

bes@1Macc:11:27 @ And confirmed him in the high priesthood, and in all the honours that he had before, and gave him preeminence among his chief friends.

bes@1Macc:11:57 @ At that time young Antiochus wrote unto Jonathan, saying, I confirm thee in the high priesthood, and appoint thee ruler over the four governments, and to be one of the king’s friends.

bes@1Macc:12:3 @ So they went unto Rome, and entered into the senate, and said, Jonathan the high priest, and the people of the Jews, sent us unto you, to the end ye should renew the friendship, which ye had with them, and league, as in former time.

bes@1Macc:12:6 @ Jonathan the high priest, and the elders of the nation, and the priests, and the other of the Jews, unto the Lacedemonians their brethren send greeting:

bes@1Macc:12:7 @ There were letters sent in times past unto Onias the high priest from Darius, who reigned then among you, to signify that ye are our brethren, as the copy here underwritten doth specify.

bes@1Macc:12:20 @ Areus king of the Lacedemonians to Onias the high priest, greeting:

bes@1Macc:12:36 @ And making the walls of Jerusalem higher, and raising a great mount between the tower and the city, for to separate it from the city, that so it might be alone, that men might neither sell nor buy in it.

bes@1Macc:13:33 @ Then Simon built up the strong holds in Judea, and fenced them about with high towers, and great walls, and gates, and bars, and laid up victuals therein.

bes@1Macc:13:36 @ King Demetrius unto Simon the high priest, and friend of kings, as also unto the elders and nation of the Jews, sendeth greeting:

bes@1Macc:13:42 @ Then the people of Israel began to write in their instruments and contracts, In the first year of Simon the high priest, the governor and leader of the Jews.

bes@1Macc:14:17 @ But as soon as they heard that his brother Simon was made high priest in his stead, and ruled the country, and the cities therein:

bes@1Macc:14:20 @ And this is the copy of the letters that the Lacedemonians sent; The rulers of the Lacedemonians, with the city, unto Simon the high priest, and the elders, and priests, and residue of the people of the Jews, our brethren, send greeting:

bes@1Macc:14:23 @ And it pleased the people to entertain the men honourably, and to put the copy of their ambassage in publick records, to the end the people of the Lacedemonians might have a memorial thereof: furthermore we have written a copy thereof unto Simon the high priest.

bes@1Macc:14:27 @ So then they wrote it in tables of brass, which they set upon pillars in mount Sion: and this is the copy of the writing; The eighteenth day of the month Elul, in the hundred threescore and twelfth year, being the third year of Simon the high priest,

bes@1Macc:14:30 @ (For after that Jonathan, having gathered his nation together, and been their high priest, was added to his people,

bes@1Macc:14:38 @ King Demetrius also confirmed him in the high priesthood according to those things,

bes@1Macc:14:41 @ Also that the Jews and priests were well pleased that Simon should be their governor and high priest for ever, until there should arise a faithful prophet;

bes@1Macc:14:47 @ Then Simon accepted hereof, and was well pleased to be high priest, and captain and governor of the Jews and priests, and to defend them all.

bes@1Macc:15:2 @ The contents whereof were these: King Antiochus to Simon the high priest and prince of his nation, and to the people of the Jews, greeting:

bes@1Macc:15:17 @ The Jews’ ambassadors, our friends and confederates, came unto us to renew the old friendship and league, being sent from Simon the high priest, and from the people of the Jews:

bes@1Macc:15:21 @ If therefore there be any pestilent fellows, that have fled from their country unto you, deliver them unto Simon the high priest, that he may punish them according to their own law.

bes@1Macc:15:24 @ And the copy hereof they wrote to Simon the high priest.

bes@1Macc:16:12 @ For he was the high priest’s son in law.

bes@1Macc:16:24 @ Behold, these are written in the chronicles of his priesthood, from the time he was made high priest after his father.

bes@2Macc:1:11 @ Insomuch as God hath delivered us from great perils, we thank him highly, as having been in battle against a king.

bes@2Macc:3:1 @ Now when the holy city was inhabited with all peace, and the laws were kept very well, because of the godliness of Onias the high priest, and his hatred of wickedness,

bes@2Macc:3:4 @ But one Simon of the tribe of Benjamin, who was made governor of the temple, fell out with the high priest about disorder in the city.

bes@2Macc:3:9 @ And when he was come to Jerusalem, and had been courteously received of the high priest of the city, he told him what intelligence was given of the money, and declared wherefore he came, and asked if these things were so indeed.

bes@2Macc:3:10 @ Then the high priest told him that there was such money laid up for the relief of widows and fatherless children:

bes@2Macc:3:16 @ Then whoso had looked the high priest in the face, it would have wounded his heart: for his countenance and the changing of his colour declared the inward agony of his mind.

bes@2Macc:3:21 @ Then it would have pitied a man to see the falling down of the multitude of all sorts, and the fear of the high priest being in such an agony.

bes@2Macc:3:31 @ Then straightways certain of Heliodorus’ friends prayed Onias, that he would call upon the most High to grant him his life, who lay ready to give up the ghost.

bes@2Macc:3:32 @ So the high priest, suspecting lest the king should misconceive that some treachery had been done to Heliodorus by the Jews, offered a sacrifice for the health of the man.

bes@2Macc:3:33 @ Now as the high priest was making an atonement, the same young men in the same clothing appeared and stood beside Heliodorus, saying, Give Onias the high priest great thanks, insomuch as for his sake the Lord hath granted thee life:

bes@2Macc:4:7 @ But after the death of Seleucus, when Antiochus, called Epiphanes, took the kingdom, Jason the brother of Onias laboured underhand to be high priest,

bes@2Macc:4:13 @ Now such was the height of Greek fashions, and increase of heathenish manners, through the exceeding profaneness of Jason, that ungodly wretch, and no high priest;

bes@2Macc:4:25 @ So he came with the king’s mandate, bringing nothing worthy the high priesthood, but having the fury of a cruel tyrant, and the rage of a savage beast.

bes@2Macc:8:30 @ Moreover of those that were with Timotheus and Bacchides, who fought against them, they slew above twenty thousand, and very easily got high and strong holds, and divided among themselves many spoils more, and made the maimed, orphans, widows, yea, and the aged also, equal in spoils with themselves.

bes@2Macc:9:8 @ And thus he that a little afore thought he might command the waves of the sea, (so proud was he beyond the condition of man) and weigh the high mountains in a balance, was now cast on the ground, and carried in an horselitter, shewing forth unto all the manifest power of God.

bes@2Macc:9:23 @ But considering that even my father, at what time he led an army into the high countries. appointed a successor,

bes@2Macc:9:25 @ Again, considering how that the princes that are borderers and neighbours unto my kingdom wait for opportunities, and expect what shall be the event. I have appointed my son Antiochus king, whom I often committed and commended unto many of you, when I went up into the high provinces; to whom I have written as followeth:

bes@2Macc:11:3 @ And to make a gain of the temple, as of the other chapels of the heathen, and to set the high priesthood to sale every year:

bes@2Macc:13:5 @ Now there was in that place a tower of fifty cubits high, full of ashes, and it had a round instrument which on every side hanged down into the ashes.

bes@2Macc:14:3 @ Now one Alcimus, who had been high priest, and had defiled himself wilfully in the times of their mingling with the Gentiles, seeing that by no means he could save himself, nor have any more access to the holy altar,

bes@2Macc:14:7 @ Therefore I, being deprived of mine ancestors’ honour, I mean the high priesthood, am now come hither:

bes@2Macc:14:13 @ Commanding him to slay Judas, and to scatter them that were with him, and to make Alcimus high priest of the great temple.

bes@2Macc:15:12 @ And this was his vision: That Onias, who had been high priest, a virtuous and a good man, reverend in conversation, gentle in condition, well spoken also, and exercised from a child in all points of virtue, holding up his hands prayed for the whole body of the Jews.

bes@PrMan:1:7 @ for thou art the most high Lord, of great compassion, longsuffering, very merciful, and repentest of the evils of men. Thou, O Lord, according to thy great goodness hast promised repentance and forgiveness to them that have sinned against thee: and of thine infinite mercies hast appointed repentance unto sinners, that they may be saved.

bes@3Macc:1:11 @ And when they told him that this was not permissible, none of the nation, no, nor even the priests in general, but only the supreme high priest of all, and he only once in a year, being allowed to go in, he would by no means give way.

bes@3Macc:1:20 @ New-born babes were deserted by the mothers or nurses who waited upon them; some here, some there, in houses, or in fields; these now, with an ardour which could not be checked, swarmed into the Most High temple.

bes@3Macc:2:1 @ Now was it that the high priest Simon bowed his knees over against the holy place, and spread out his hands in reverent form, and uttered the following supplication:

bes@3Macc:6:2 @ O king, mighty in power, most high, Almighty God, who regulates the whole creation with thy tender mercy,
