nasb@Genesis:1:1 @In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.

nasb@Genesis:1:3 @Then God said, "Let there be light"; and there was light.

nasb@Genesis:1:6 @Then God said, "Let there be an expanse in the midst of the waters, and let it separate the waters from the waters."

nasb@Genesis:1:7 @God made the expanse, and separated the waters which were below the expanse from the waters which were above the expanse; and it was so.

nasb@Genesis:1:9 @Then God said, " Let the waters below the heavens be gathered into one place, and let the dry land appear"; and it was so.

nasb@Genesis:1:11 @Then God said, "Let the earth sprout vegetation, plants yielding seed, and fruit trees on the earth bearing fruit after their kind with seed in them"; and it was so.

nasb@Genesis:1:12 @The earth brought forth vegetation, plants yielding seed after their kind, and trees bearing fruit with seed in them, after their kind; and God saw that it was good.

nasb@Genesis:1:14 @Then God said, "Let there be lights in the expanse of the heavens to separate the day from the night, and let them be for signs and for seasons and for days and years;

nasb@Genesis:1:15 @and let them be for lights in the expanse of the heavens to give light on the earth"; and it was so.

nasb@Genesis:1:22 @God blessed them, saying, "Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the waters in the seas, and let birds multiply on the earth."

nasb@Genesis:1:24 @Then God said, "Let the earth bring forth living creatures after their kind- cattle and creeping things and beasts of the earth after their kind"; and it was so.

nasb@Genesis:1:25 @God made the beasts of the earth after their kind, and the cattle after their kind, and everything that creeps on the ground after its kind; and God saw that it was good.

nasb@Genesis:1:28 @God blessed them; and God said to them, " Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the earth, and subdue it; and rule over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the sky and over every living thing that moves on the earth."

nasb@Genesis:1:29 @Then God said, "Behold, I have given you every plant yielding seed that is on the surface of all the earth, and every tree which has fruit yielding seed; it shall be food for you;

nasb@Genesis:1:30 @and to every beast of the earth and to every bird of the sky and to every thing that moves on the earth which has life, I have given every green plant for food"; and it was so.

nasb@Genesis:1:31 @God saw all that He had made, and behold, it was very good. And there was evening and there was morning, the sixth day.

nasb@Genesis:2:3 @Then God blessed the seventh day and sanctified it, because in it He rested from all His work which God had created and made.

nasb@Genesis:2:7 @Then the LORD God formed man of dust from the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living being.

nasb@Genesis:2:10 @Now a river flowed out of Eden to water the garden; and from there it divided and became four rivers.

nasb@Genesis:2:18 @Then the LORD God said, "It is not good for the man to be alone; I will make him a helper suitable for him."

nasb@Genesis:2:19 @Out of the ground the LORD God formed every beast of the field and every bird of the sky, and brought them to the man to see what he would call them; and whatever the man called a living creature, that was its name.

nasb@Genesis:2:20 @The man gave names to all the cattle, and to the birds of the sky, and to every beast of the field, but for Adam there was not found a helper suitable for him.

nasb@Genesis:2:23 @The man said, " This is now bone of my bones, And flesh of my flesh; She shall be called Woman, Because she was taken out of Man."

nasb@Genesis:2:24 @For this reason a man shall leave his father and his mother, and be joined to his wife; and they shall become one flesh.

nasb@Genesis:3:1 @Now the serpent was more crafty than any beast of the field which the LORD God had made. And he said to the woman, "Indeed, has God said, 'You shall not eat from any tree of the garden'?"

nasb@Genesis:3:5" @For God knows that in the day you eat from it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil."

nasb@Genesis:3:10 @He said, " I heard the sound of You in the garden, and I was afraid because I was naked; so I hid myself."

nasb@Genesis:3:12 @The man said, "The woman whom You gave to be with me, she gave me from the tree, and I ate."

nasb@Genesis:3:14 @The LORD God said to the serpent, " Because you have done this, Cursed are you more than all cattle, And more than every beast of the field; On your belly you will go, And dust you will eat All the days of your life;

nasb@Genesis:3:15 @And I will put enmity Between you and the woman, And between your seed and her seed; He shall bruise you on the head, And you shall bruise him on the heel."

nasb@Genesis:3:16 @To the woman He said, "I will greatly multiply Your pain in childbirth, In pain you will bring forth children; Yet your desire will be for your husband, And he will rule over you."

nasb@Genesis:3:17 @Then to Adam He said, "Because you have listened to the voice of your wife, and have eaten from the tree about which I commanded you, saying, 'You shall not eat from it'; Cursed is the ground because of you; In toil you will eat of it All the days of your life.

nasb@Genesis:3:19 @By the sweat of your face You will eat bread, Till you return to the ground, Because from it you were taken; For you are dust, And to dust you shall return."

nasb@Genesis:3:20 @Now the man called his wife's name Eve, because she was the mother of all the living.

nasb@Genesis:3:22 @Then the LORD God said, "Behold, the man has become like one of Us, knowing good and evil; and now, he might stretch out his hand, and take also from the tree of life, and eat, and live forever"--

nasb@Genesis:4:2 @Again, she gave birth to his brother Abel. And Abel was a keeper of flocks, but Cain was a tiller of the ground.

nasb@Genesis:4:4 @Abel, on his part also brought of the firstlings of his flock and of their fat portions. And the LORD had regard for Abel and for his offering;

nasb@Genesis:4:5 @but for Cain and for his offering He had no regard. So Cain became very angry and his countenance fell.

nasb@Genesis:4:7" @ If you do well, will not your countenance be lifted up? And if you do not do well, sin is crouching at the door; and its desire is for you, but you must master it."

nasb@Genesis:4:8 @Cain told Abel his brother. And it came about when they were in the field, that Cain rose up against Abel his brother and killed him.

nasb@Genesis:4:9 @Then the LORD said to Cain, " Where is Abel your brother?" And he said, "I do not know. Am I my brother's keeper?"

nasb@Genesis:4:12" @ When you cultivate the ground, it will no longer yield its strength to you; you will be a vagrant and a wanderer on the earth."

nasb@Genesis:4:13 @Cain said to the LORD, "My punishment is too great to bear!

nasb@Genesis:4:14" @Behold, You have driven me this day from the face of the ground; and from Your face I will be hidden, and I will be a vagrant and a wanderer on the earth, and whoever finds me will kill me."

nasb@Genesis:4:15 @So the LORD said to him, "Therefore whoever kills Cain, vengeance will be taken on him sevenfold." And the LORD appointed a sign for Cain, so that no one finding him would slay him.

nasb@Genesis:4:18 @Now to Enoch was born Irad, and Irad became the father of Mehujael, and Mehujael became the father of Methushael, and Methushael became the father of Lamech.

nasb@Genesis:4:25 @Adam had relations with his wife again; and she gave birth to a son, and named him Seth, for, she said, "God has appointed me another offspring in place of Abel, for Cain killed him."

nasb@Genesis:4:26 @To Seth, to him also a son was born; and he called his name Enosh. Then men began to call upon the name of the LORD.

nasb@Genesis:5:3 @When Adam had lived one hundred and thirty years, he became the father of a son in his own likeness, according to his image, and named him Seth.

nasb@Genesis:5:4 @Then the days of Adam after he became the father of Seth were eight hundred years, and he had other sons and daughters.

nasb@Genesis:5:6 @Seth lived one hundred and five years, and became the father of Enosh.

nasb@Genesis:5:7 @Then Seth lived eight hundred and seven years after he became the father of Enosh, and he had other sons and daughters.

nasb@Genesis:5:9 @Enosh lived ninety years, and became the father of Kenan.

nasb@Genesis:5:10 @Then Enosh lived eight hundred and fifteen years after he became the father of Kenan, and he had other sons and daughters.

nasb@Genesis:5:12 @Kenan lived seventy years, and became the father of Mahalalel.

nasb@Genesis:5:13 @Then Kenan lived eight hundred and forty years after he became the father of Mahalalel, and he had other sons and daughters.

nasb@Genesis:5:15 @Mahalalel lived sixty-five years, and became the father of Jared.

nasb@Genesis:5:16 @Then Mahalalel lived eight hundred and thirty years after he became the father of Jared, and he had other sons and daughters.

nasb@Genesis:5:18 @Jared lived one hundred and sixty-two years, and became the father of Enoch.

nasb@Genesis:5:19 @Then Jared lived eight hundred years after he became the father of Enoch, and he had other sons and daughters.

nasb@Genesis:5:21 @Enoch lived sixty-five years, and became the father of Methuselah.

nasb@Genesis:5:22 @Then Enoch walked with God three hundred years after he became the father of Methuselah, and he had other sons and daughters.

nasb@Genesis:5:25 @Methuselah lived one hundred and eighty-seven years, and became the father of Lamech.

nasb@Genesis:5:26 @Then Methuselah lived seven hundred and eighty-two years after he became the father of Lamech, and he had other sons and daughters.

nasb@Genesis:5:28 @Lamech lived one hundred and eighty-two years, and became the father of a son.

nasb@Genesis:5:30 @Then Lamech lived five hundred and ninety-five years after he became the father of Noah, and he had other sons and daughters.

nasb@Genesis:5:32 @Noah was five hundred years old, and Noah became the father of Shem, Ham, and Japheth.

nasb@Genesis:6:1 @Now it came about, when men began to multiply on the face of the land, and daughters were born to them,

nasb@Genesis:6:2 @that the sons of God saw that the daughters of men were beautiful; and they took wives for themselves, whomever they chose.

nasb@Genesis:6:3 @Then the LORD said, " My Spirit shall not strive with man forever, because he also is flesh; nevertheless his days shall be one hundred and twenty years."

nasb@Genesis:6:10 @Noah became the father of three sons- Shem, Ham, and Japheth.

nasb@Genesis:6:12 @God looked on the earth, and behold, it was corrupt; for all flesh had corrupted their way upon the earth.

nasb@Genesis:6:13 @Then God said to Noah, " The end of all flesh has come before Me; for the earth is filled with violence because of them; and behold, I am about to destroy them with the earth.

nasb@Genesis:6:17" @Behold, I, even I am bringing the flood of water upon the earth, to destroy all flesh in which is the breath of life, from under heaven; everything that is on the earth shall perish.

nasb@Genesis:6:19" @ And of every living thing of all flesh, you shall bring two of every kind into the ark, to keep them alive with you; they shall be male and female.

nasb@Genesis:6:21" @As for you, take for yourself some of all food which is edible, and gather it to yourself; and it shall be for food for you and for them."

nasb@Genesis:6:7 @Then the LORD said to Noah, "Enter the ark, you and all your household, for you alone I have seen to be righteous before Me in this time.

nasb@Genesis:6:7 @Then Noah and his sons and his wife and his sons' wives with him entered the ark because of the water of the flood.

nasb@Genesis:6:14 @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 every bird after its kind, all sorts of birds.

nasb@Genesis:6:16 @Those that entered, male and female of all flesh, entered as God had commanded him; and the LORD closed it behind him.

nasb@Genesis:6:21 @All flesh that moved on the earth perished, birds and cattle and beasts and every swarming thing that swarms upon the earth, and all mankind;

nasb@Genesis:7:1 @But God remembered Noah and all the beasts and all the cattle that were with him in the ark; and God caused a wind to pass over the earth, and the water subsided.

nasb@Genesis:7:5 @The water decreased steadily until the tenth month; in the tenth month, on the first day of the month, the tops of the mountains became visible.

nasb@Genesis:7:11 @The dove came to him toward evening, and behold, in her beak was a freshly picked olive leaf. So Noah knew that the water was abated from the earth.

nasb@Genesis:7:13 @Now it came about in the six hundred and first year, in the first month, on the first of the month, the water was dried up from the earth. Then Noah removed the covering of the ark, and looked, and behold, the surface of the ground was dried up.

nasb@Genesis:7:17" @Bring out with you every living thing of all flesh that is with you, birds and animals and every creeping thing that creeps on the earth, that they may breed abundantly on the earth, and be fruitful and multiply on the earth."

nasb@Genesis:7:19 @Every beast, every creeping thing, and every bird, everything that moves on the earth, went out by their families from the ark.

nasb@Genesis:7:9 @And God blessed Noah and his sons and said to them, " Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the earth.

nasb@Genesis:7:2" @The fear of you and the terror of you will be on every beast of the earth and on every bird of the sky; with everything that creeps on the ground, and all the fish of the sea, into your hand they are given.

nasb@Genesis:7:3" @Every moving thing that is alive shall be food for you; I give all to you, as I gave the green plant.

nasb@Genesis:7:5" @Surely I will require your lifeblood; from every beast I will require it. And from every man, from every man's brother I will require the life of man.

nasb@Genesis:7:6" @ Whoever sheds man's blood, By man his blood shall be shed, For in the image of God He made man.

nasb@Genesis:7:7" @As for you, be fruitful and multiply; Populate the earth abundantly and multiply in it."

nasb@Genesis:7:9" @Now behold, I Myself do establish My covenant with you, and with your descendants after you;

nasb@Genesis:7:10 @and with every living creature that is with you, the birds, the cattle, and every beast of the earth with you; of all that comes out of the ark, even every beast of the earth.

nasb@Genesis:7:11" @I establish My covenant with you; and all flesh shall never again be cut off by the water of the flood, neither shall there again be a flood to destroy the earth."

nasb@Genesis:7:12 @God said, "This is the sign of the covenant which I am making between Me and you and every living creature that is with you, for all successive generations;

nasb@Genesis:7:13 @I set My bow in the cloud, and it shall be for a sign of a covenant between Me and the earth.

nasb@Genesis:7:14" @It shall come about, when I bring a cloud over the earth, that the bow will be seen in the cloud,

nasb@Genesis:7:15 @and I will remember My covenant, which is between Me and you and every living creature of all flesh; and never again shall the water become a flood to destroy all flesh.

nasb@Genesis:7:16" @When the bow is in the cloud, then I will look upon it, to remember the everlasting covenant between God and every living creature of all flesh that is on the earth."

nasb@Genesis:7:17 @And God said to Noah, "This is the sign of the covenant which I have established between Me and all flesh that is on the earth."

nasb@Genesis:7:20 @Then Noah began farming and planted a vineyard.

nasb@Genesis:7:21 @He drank of the wine and became drunk, and uncovered himself inside his tent.

nasb@Genesis:7:25 @So he said, " Cursed be Canaan; A servant of servants He shall be to his brothers."

nasb@Genesis:7:26 @He also said, " Blessed be the LORD, The God of Shem; And let Canaan be his servant.

nasb@Genesis:7:27" @ May God enlarge Japheth, And let him dwell in the tents of Shem; And let Canaan be his servant."

nasb@Genesis:8:8 @Now Cush became the father of Nimrod; he became a mighty one on the earth.

nasb@Genesis:8:9 @He was a mighty hunter before the LORD; therefore it is said, "Like Nimrod a mighty hunter before the LORD."

nasb@Genesis:8:10 @The beginning of his kingdom was Babel and Erech and Accad and Calneh, in the land of Shinar.

nasb@Genesis:8:12 @and Resen between Nineveh and Calah; that is the great city.

nasb@Genesis:8:13 @Mizraim became the father of Ludim and Anamim and Lehabim and Naphtuhim

nasb@Genesis:8:15 @Canaan became the father of Sidon, his firstborn, and Heth

nasb@Genesis:8:21 @Also to Shem, the father of all the children of Eber, and the older brother of Japheth, children were born.

nasb@Genesis:8:24 @Arpachshad became the father of Shelah; and Shelah became the father of Eber.

nasb@Genesis:8:25 @Two sons were born to Eber; the name of the one was Peleg, for in his days the earth was divided; and his brother's name was Joktan.

nasb@Genesis:8:26 @Joktan became the father of Almodad and Sheleph and Hazarmaveth and Jerah

nasb@Genesis:9:4 @They said, "Come, let us build for ourselves a city, and a tower whose top will reach into heaven, and let us make for ourselves a name, otherwise we will be scattered abroad over the face of the whole earth."

nasb@Genesis:9:6 @The LORD said, "Behold, they are one people, and they all have the same language. And this is what they began to do, and now nothing which they purpose to do will be impossible for them.

nasb@Genesis:9:9 @Therefore its name was called Babel, because there the LORD confused the language of the whole earth; and from there the LORD scattered them abroad over the face of the whole earth.

nasb@Genesis:9:10 @These are the records of the generations of Shem. Shem was one hundred years old, and became the father of Arpachshad two years after the flood;

nasb@Genesis:9:11 @and Shem lived five hundred years after he became the father of Arpachshad, and he had other sons and daughters.

nasb@Genesis:9:12 @Arpachshad lived thirty-five years, and became the father of Shelah;

nasb@Genesis:9:13 @and Arpachshad lived four hundred and three years after he became the father of Shelah, and he had other sons and daughters.

nasb@Genesis:9:14 @Shelah lived thirty years, and became the father of Eber;

nasb@Genesis:9:15 @and Shelah lived four hundred and three years after he became the father of Eber, and he had other sons and daughters.

nasb@Genesis:9:16 @Eber lived thirty-four years, and became the father of Peleg;

nasb@Genesis:9:17 @and Eber lived four hundred and thirty years after he became the father of Peleg, and he had other sons and daughters.

nasb@Genesis:9:18 @Peleg lived thirty years, and became the father of Reu;

nasb@Genesis:9:19 @and Peleg lived two hundred and nine years after he became the father of Reu, and he had other sons and daughters.

nasb@Genesis:9:20 @Reu lived thirty-two years, and became the father of Serug;

nasb@Genesis:9:21 @and Reu lived two hundred and seven years after he became the father of Serug, and he had other sons and daughters.

nasb@Genesis:9:22 @Serug lived thirty years, and became the father of Nahor;

nasb@Genesis:9:23 @and Serug lived two hundred years after he became the father of Nahor, and he had other sons and daughters.

nasb@Genesis:9:24 @Nahor lived twenty-nine years, and became the father of Terah;

nasb@Genesis:9:25 @and Nahor lived one hundred and nineteen years after he became the father of Terah, and he had other sons and daughters.

nasb@Genesis:9:26 @Terah lived seventy years, and became the father of Abram, Nahor and Haran.

nasb@Genesis:9:27 @Now these are the records of the generations of Terah. Terah became the father of Abram, Nahor and Haran; and Haran became the father of Lot.

nasb@Genesis:10:2 @And I will make you a great nation, And I will bless you, And make your name great; And so you shall be a blessing;

nasb@Genesis:10:3 @And I will bless those who bless you, And the one who curses you I will curse. And in you all the families of the earth will be blessed."

nasb@Genesis:10:8 @Then he proceeded from there to the mountain on the east of Bethel, and pitched his tent, with Bethel on the west and Ai on the east; and there he built an altar to the LORD and called upon the name of the LORD.

nasb@Genesis:10:11 @It came about when he came near to Egypt, that he said to Sarai his wife, "See now, I know that you are a beautiful woman;

nasb@Genesis:10:13" @Please say that you are my sister so that it may go well with me because of you, and that I may live on account of you."

nasb@Genesis:10:14 @It came about when Abram came into Egypt, the Egyptians saw that the woman was very beautiful.

nasb@Genesis:10:17 @But the LORD struck Pharaoh and his house with great plagues because of Sarai, Abram's wife.

nasb@Genesis:10:20 @Pharaoh commanded his men concerning him; and they escorted him away, with his wife and all that belonged to him.

nasb@Genesis:11:1 @So Abram went up from Egypt to the Negev, he and his wife and all that belonged to him, and Lot with him.

nasb@Genesis:11:3 @He went on his journeys from the Negev as far as Bethel, to the place where his tent had been at the beginning, between Bethel and Ai,

nasb@Genesis:11:7 @And there was strife between the herdsmen of Abram's livestock and the herdsmen of Lot's livestock. Now the Canaanite and the Perizzite were dwelling then in the land.

nasb@Genesis:11:8 @So Abram said to Lot, "Please let there be no strife between you and me, nor between my herdsmen and your herdsmen, for we are brothers.

nasb@Genesis:11:9" @Is not the whole land before you? Please separate from me; if to the left, then I will go to the right; or if to the right, then I will go to the left."

nasb@Genesis:11:10 @Lot lifted up his eyes and saw all the valley of the Jordan, that it was well watered everywhere--this was before the LORD destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah--like the garden of the LORD, like the land of Egypt as you go to Zoar.

nasb@Genesis:11:16" @I will make your descendants as the dust of the earth, so that if anyone can number the dust of the earth, then your descendants can also be numbered.

nasb@Genesis:12:2 @that they made war with Bera king of Sodom, and with Birsha king of Gomorrah, Shinab king of Admah, and Shemeber king of Zeboiim, and the king of Bela (that is, Zoar).

nasb@Genesis:12:4 @Twelve years they had served Chedorlaomer, but the thirteenth year they rebelled.

nasb@Genesis:12:8 @And the king of Sodom and the king of Gomorrah and the king of Admah and the king of Zeboiim and the king of Bela (that is, Zoar) came out; and they arrayed for battle against them in the valley of Siddim,

nasb@Genesis:12:14 @When Abram heard that his relative had been taken captive, he led out his trained men, born in his house, three hundred and eighteen, and went in pursuit as far as Dan.

nasb@Genesis:12:19 @He blessed him and said, "Blessed be Abram of God Most High, Possessor of heaven and earth;

nasb@Genesis:12:20 @And blessed be God Most High, Who has delivered your enemies into your hand." He gave him a tenth of all.

nasb@Genesis:13:1 @After these things the word of the LORD came to Abram in a vision, saying, " Do not fear, Abram, I am a shield to you; Your reward shall be very great."

nasb@Genesis:13:4 @Then behold, the word of the LORD came to him, saying, "This man will not be your heir; but one who will come forth from your own body, he shall be your heir."

nasb@Genesis:13:5 @And He took him outside and said, "Now look toward the heavens, and count the stars, if you are able to count them." And He said to him, " So shall your descendants be."

nasb@Genesis:13:6 @Then he believed in the LORD; and He reckoned it to him as righteousness.

nasb@Genesis:13:12 @Now when the sun was going down, a deep sleep fell upon Abram; and behold, terror and great darkness fell upon him.

nasb@Genesis:13:13 @God said to Abram, "Know for certain that your descendants will be strangers in a land that is not theirs, where they will be enslaved and oppressed four hundred years.

nasb@Genesis:13:15" @As for you, you shall go to your fathers in peace; you will be buried at a good old age.

nasb@Genesis:13:17 @It came about when the sun had set, that it was very dark, and behold, there appeared a smoking oven and a flaming torch which passed between these pieces.

nasb@Genesis:14:2 @So Sarai said to Abram, "Now behold, the LORD has prevented me from bearing children. Please go in to my maid; perhaps I will obtain children through her." And Abram listened to the voice of Sarai.

nasb@Genesis:14:5 @And Sarai said to Abram, " May the wrong done me be upon you. I gave my maid into your arms, but when she saw that she had conceived, I was despised in her sight. May the LORD judge between you and me."

nasb@Genesis:14:6 @But Abram said to Sarai, "Behold, your maid is in your power; do to her what is good in your sight." So Sarai treated her harshly, and she fled from her presence.

nasb@Genesis:14:10 @Moreover, the angel of the LORD said to her, " I will greatly multiply your descendants so that they will be too many to count."

nasb@Genesis:14:11 @The angel of the LORD said to her further, "Behold, you are with child, And you will bear a son; And you shall call his name Ishmael, Because the LORD has given heed to your affliction.

nasb@Genesis:14:12" @He will be a wild donkey of a man, His hand will be against everyone, And everyone's hand will be against him; And he will live to the east of all his brothers."

nasb@Genesis:14:14 @Therefore the well was called Beer-lahai-roi; behold, it is between Kadesh and Bered.

nasb@Genesis:14:17 @Now when Abram was ninety-nine years old, the LORD appeared to Abram and said to him, "I am God Almighty; Walk before Me, and be blameless.

nasb@Genesis:14:2" @I will establish My covenant between Me and you, And I will multiply you exceedingly."

nasb@Genesis:14:4" @As for Me, behold, My covenant is with you, And you will be the father of a multitude of nations.

nasb@Genesis:14:5" @No longer shall your name be called Abram, But your name shall be Abraham; For I have made you the father of a multitude of nations.

nasb@Genesis:14:7" @I will establish My covenant between Me and you and your descendants after you throughout their generations for an everlasting covenant, to be God to you and to your descendants after you.

nasb@Genesis:14:8" @ I will give to you and to your descendants after you, the land of your sojournings, all the land of Canaan, for an everlasting possession; and I will be their God."

nasb@Genesis:14:10" @ This is My covenant, which you shall keep, between Me and you and your descendants after you- every male among you shall be circumcised.

nasb@Genesis:14:11" @And you shall be circumcised in the flesh of your foreskin, and it shall be the sign of the covenant between Me and you.

nasb@Genesis:14:12" @And every male among you who is eight days old shall be circumcised throughout your generations, a servant who is born in the house or who is bought with money from any foreigner, who is not of your descendants.

nasb@Genesis:14:13" @A servant who is born in your house or who is bought with your money shall surely be circumcised; thus shall My covenant be in your flesh for an everlasting covenant.

nasb@Genesis:14:14" @But an uncircumcised male who is not circumcised in the flesh of his foreskin, that person shall be cut off from his people; he has broken My covenant."

nasb@Genesis:14:15 @Then God said to Abraham, "As for Sarai your wife, you shall not call her name Sarai, but Sarah shall be her name.

nasb@Genesis:14:16" @I will bless her, and indeed I will give you a son by her. Then I will bless her, and she shall be a mother of nations; kings of peoples will come from her."

nasb@Genesis:14:17 @Then Abraham fell on his face and laughed, and said in his heart, "Will a child be born to a man one hundred years old? And will Sarah, who is ninety years old, bear a child?"

nasb@Genesis:14:18 @And Abraham said to God, "Oh that Ishmael might live before You!"

nasb@Genesis:14:19 @But God said, "No, but Sarah your wife will bear you a son, and you shall call his name Isaac; and I will establish My covenant with him for an everlasting covenant for his descendants after him.

nasb@Genesis:14:20" @As for Ishmael, I have heard you; behold, I will bless him, and will make him fruitful and will multiply him exceedingly. He shall become the father of twelve princes, and I will make him a great nation.

nasb@Genesis:14:21" @But My covenant I will establish with Isaac, whom Sarah will bear to you at this season next year."

nasb@Genesis:15:2 @When he lifted up his eyes and looked, behold, three men were standing opposite him; and when he saw them, he ran from the tent door to meet them and bowed himself to the earth,

nasb@Genesis:15:4" @Please let a little water be brought and wash your feet, and rest yourselves under the tree;

nasb@Genesis:15:8 @He took curds and milk and the calf which he had prepared, and placed it before them; and he was standing by them under the tree as they ate.

nasb@Genesis:15:10 @He said, " I will surely return to you at this time next year; and behold, Sarah your wife will have a son." And Sarah was listening at the tent door, which was behind him.

nasb@Genesis:15:11 @Now Abraham and Sarah were old, advanced in age; Sarah was past childbearing.

nasb@Genesis:15:12 @Sarah laughed to herself, saying, " After I have become old, shall I have pleasure, my lord being old also?"

nasb@Genesis:15:13 @And the LORD said to Abraham, "Why did Sarah laugh, saying, 'Shall I indeed bear a child, when I am so old?'

nasb@Genesis:15:18 @since Abraham will surely become a great and mighty nation, and in him all the nations of the earth will be blessed?

nasb@Genesis:15:22 @Then the men turned away from there and went toward Sodom, while Abraham was still standing before the LORD.

nasb@Genesis:15:25" @Far be it from You to do such a thing, to slay the righteous with the wicked, so that the righteous and the wicked are treated alike. Far be it from You! Shall not the Judge of all the earth deal justly?"

nasb@Genesis:15:27 @And Abraham replied, "Now behold, I have ventured to speak to the Lord, although I am but dust and ashes.

nasb@Genesis:15:28" @Suppose the fifty righteous are lacking five, will You destroy the whole city because of five?" And He said, "I will not destroy it if I find forty-five there."

nasb@Genesis:15:30 @Then he said, "Oh may the Lord not be angry, and I shall speak; suppose thirty are found there?" And He said, "I will not do it if I find thirty there."

nasb@Genesis:15:31 @And he said, "Now behold, I have ventured to speak to the Lord; suppose twenty are found there?" And He said, "I will not destroy it on account of the twenty."

nasb@Genesis:15:32 @Then he said, " Oh may the Lord not be angry, and I shall speak only this once; suppose ten are found there?" And He said, "I will not destroy it on account of the ten."

nasb@Genesis:16:2 @And he said, "Now behold, my lords, please turn aside into your servant's house, and spend the night, and wash your feet; then you may rise early and go on your way." They said however, "No, but we shall spend the night in the square."

nasb@Genesis:16:4 @Before they lay down, the men of the city, the men of Sodom, surrounded the house, both young and old, all the people from every quarter;

nasb@Genesis:16:6 @But Lot went out to them at the doorway, and shut the door behind him,

nasb@Genesis:16:8" @Now behold, I have two daughters who have not had relations with man; please let me bring them out to you, and do to them whatever you like; only do nothing to these men, inasmuch as they have come under the shelter of my roof."

nasb@Genesis:16:13 @for we are about to destroy this place, because their outcry has become so great before the LORD that the LORD has sent us to destroy it."

nasb@Genesis:16:14 @Lot went out and spoke to his sons-in-law, who were to marry his daughters, and said, "Up, get out of this place, for the LORD will destroy the city." But he appeared to his sons-in-law to be jesting.

nasb@Genesis:16:15 @When morning dawned, the angels urged Lot, saying, "Up, take your wife and your two daughters who are here, or you will be swept away in the punishment of the city."

nasb@Genesis:16:17 @When they had brought them outside, one said, " Escape for your life! Do not look behind you, and do not stay anywhere in the valley; escape to the mountains, or you will be swept away."

nasb@Genesis:16:19" @Now behold, your servant has found favor in your sight, and you have magnified your lovingkindness, which you have shown me by saving my life; but I cannot escape to the mountains, for the disaster will overtake me and I will die;

nasb@Genesis:16:20 @now behold, this town is near enough to flee to, and it is small. Please, let me escape there (is it not small?) that my life may be saved."

nasb@Genesis:16:21 @He said to him, "Behold, I grant you this request also, not to overthrow the town of which you have spoken.

nasb@Genesis:16:26 @But his wife, from behind him, looked back, and she became a pillar of salt.

nasb@Genesis:16:27 @Now Abraham arose early in the morning and went to the place where he had stood before the LORD;

nasb@Genesis:16:28 @and he looked down toward Sodom and Gomorrah, and toward all the land of the valley, and he saw, and behold, the smoke of the land ascended like the smoke of a furnace.

nasb@Genesis:16:29 @Thus it came about, when God destroyed the cities of the valley, that God remembered Abraham, and sent Lot out of the midst of the overthrow, when He overthrew the cities in which Lot lived.

nasb@Genesis:16:34 @On the following day, the firstborn said to the younger, "Behold, I lay last night with my father; let us make him drink wine tonight also; then you go in and lie with him, that we may preserve our family through our father."

nasb@Genesis:16:38 @As for the younger, she also bore a son, and called his name Ben-ammi; he is the father of the sons of Ammon to this day.

nasb@Genesis:17:1 @Now Abraham journeyed from there toward the land of the Negev, and settled between Kadesh and Shur; then he sojourned in Gerar.

nasb@Genesis:17:3 @But God came to Abimelech in a dream of the night, and said to him, "Behold, you are a dead man because of the woman whom you have taken, for she is married."

nasb@Genesis:17:9 @Then Abimelech called Abraham and said to him, "What have you done to us? And how have I sinned against you, that you have brought on me and on my kingdom a great sin? You have done to me things that ought not to be done."

nasb@Genesis:17:11 @Abraham said, "Because I thought, surely there is no fear of God in this place, and they will kill me because of my wife.

nasb@Genesis:17:12" @Besides, she actually is my sister, the daughter of my father, but not the daughter of my mother, and she became my wife;

nasb@Genesis:17:15 @Abimelech said, " Behold, my land is before you; settle wherever you please."

nasb@Genesis:17:16 @To Sarah he said, "Behold, I have given your brother a thousand pieces of silver; behold, it is your vindication before all who are with you, and before all men you are cleared."

nasb@Genesis:17:18 @For the LORD had closed fast all the wombs of the household of Abimelech because of Sarah, Abraham's wife.

nasb@Genesis:18:10 @Therefore she said to Abraham, " Drive out this maid and her son, for the son of this maid shall not be an heir with my son Isaac."

nasb@Genesis:18:11 @The matter distressed Abraham greatly because of his son.

nasb@Genesis:18:12 @But God said to Abraham, "Do not be distressed because of the lad and your maid; whatever Sarah tells you, listen to her, for through Isaac your descendants shall be named.

nasb@Genesis:18:13" @And of the son of the maid I will make a nation also, because he is your descendant."

nasb@Genesis:18:14 @So Abraham rose early in the morning and took bread and a skin of water and gave them to Hagar, putting them on her shoulder, and gave her the boy, and sent her away. And she departed and wandered about in the wilderness of Beersheba.

nasb@Genesis:18:20 @God was with the lad, and he grew; and he lived in the wilderness and became an archer.

nasb@Genesis:18:25 @But Abraham complained to Abimelech because of the well of water which the servants of Abimelech had seized.

nasb@Genesis:18:30 @He said, "You shall take these seven ewe lambs from my hand so that it may be a witness to me, that I dug this well."

nasb@Genesis:18:31 @Therefore he called that place Beersheba, because there the two of them took an oath.

nasb@Genesis:18:32 @So they made a covenant at Beersheba; and Abimelech and Phicol, the commander of his army, arose and returned to the land of the Philistines.

nasb@Genesis:18:33 @Abraham planted a tamarisk tree at Beersheba, and there he called on the name of the LORD, the Everlasting God.

nasb@Genesis:19:7 @Isaac spoke to Abraham his father and said, "My father!" And he said, "Here I am, my son." And he said, "Behold, the fire and the wood, but where is the lamb for the burnt offering?"

nasb@Genesis:19:13 @Then Abraham raised his eyes and looked, and behold, behind him a ram caught in the thicket by his horns; and Abraham went and took the ram and offered him up for a burnt offering in the place of his son.

nasb@Genesis:19:14 @Abraham called the name of that place The LORD Will Provide, as it is said to this day, "In the mount of the LORD it will be provided."

nasb@Genesis:19:16 @and said, " By Myself I have sworn, declares the LORD, because you have done this thing and have not withheld your son, your only son,

nasb@Genesis:19:18" @ In your seed all the nations of the earth shall be blessed, because you have obeyed My voice."

nasb@Genesis:19:19 @So Abraham returned to his young men, and they arose and went together to Beersheba; and Abraham lived at Beersheba.

nasb@Genesis:19:20 @Now it came about after these things, that it was told Abraham, saying, "Behold, Milcah also has borne children to your brother Nahor-

nasb@Genesis:19:22 @and Chesed and Hazo and Pildash and Jidlaph and Bethuel."

nasb@Genesis:19:23 @Bethuel became the father of Rebekah; these eight Milcah bore to Nahor, Abraham's brother.

nasb@Genesis:20:3 @Then Abraham rose from before his dead, and spoke to the sons of Heth, saying,

nasb@Genesis:20:12 @And Abraham bowed before the people of the land.

nasb@Genesis:20:15" @My lord, listen to me; a piece of land worth four hundred shekels of silver, what is that between me and you? So bury your dead."

nasb@Genesis:20:18 @to Abraham for a possession in the presence of the sons of Heth, before all who went in at the gate of his city.

nasb@Genesis:21:6 @Then Abraham said to him, " Beware that you do not take my son back there!

nasb@Genesis:21:7" @ The LORD, the God of heaven, who took me from my father's house and from the land of my birth, and who spoke to me and who swore to me, saying, ' To your descendants I will give this land,' He will send His angel before you, and you will take a wife for my son from there.

nasb@Genesis:21:8" @But if the woman is not willing to follow you, then you will be free from this my oath; only do not take my son back there."

nasb@Genesis:21:13" @Behold, I am standing by the spring, and the daughters of the men of the city are coming out to draw water;

nasb@Genesis:21:14 @now may it be that the girl to whom I say, 'Please let down your jar so that I may drink,' and who answers, 'Drink, and I will water your camels also'--may she be the one whom You have appointed for Your servant Isaac; and by this I will know that You have shown lovingkindness to my master."

nasb@Genesis:21:15 @Before he had finished speaking, behold, Rebekah who was born to Bethuel the son of Milcah, the wife of Abraham's brother Nahor, came out with her jar on her shoulder.

nasb@Genesis:21:16 @The girl was very beautiful, a virgin, and no man had had relations with her; and she went down to the spring and filled her jar and came up.

nasb@Genesis:21:24 @She said to him, " I am the daughter of Bethuel, the son of Milcah, whom she bore to Nahor."

nasb@Genesis:21:27 @He said, " Blessed be the LORD, the God of my master Abraham, who has not forsaken His lovingkindness and His truth toward my master; as for me, the LORD has guided me in the way to the house of my master's brothers."

nasb@Genesis:21:30 @When he saw the ring and the bracelets on his sister's wrists, and when he heard the words of Rebekah his sister, saying, "This is what the man said to me," he went to the man; and behold, he was standing by the camels at the spring.

nasb@Genesis:21:47" @ Then I asked her, and said, 'Whose daughter are you?' 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 wrists.

nasb@Genesis:21:50 @Then Laban and Bethuel replied, " The matter comes from the LORD; so we cannot speak to you bad or good.

nasb@Genesis:21:51" @Here is Rebekah before you, take her and go, and let her be the wife of your master's son, as the LORD has spoken."

nasb@Genesis:21:52 @When Abraham's servant heard their words, he bowed himself to the ground before the LORD.

nasb@Genesis:21:53 @The servant brought out articles of silver and articles of gold, and garments, and gave them to Rebekah; he also gave precious things to her brother and to her mother.

nasb@Genesis:21:58 @Then they called Rebekah and said to her, "Will you go with this man?" And she said, "I will go."

nasb@Genesis:21:59 @Thus they sent away their sister Rebekah and her nurse with Abraham's servant and his men.

nasb@Genesis:21:60 @They blessed Rebekah and said to her, "May you, our sister, Become thousands of ten thousands, And may your descendants possess The gate of those who hate them."

nasb@Genesis:21:61 @Then Rebekah arose with her maids, and they mounted the camels and followed the man. So the servant took Rebekah and departed.

nasb@Genesis:21:62 @Now Isaac had come from going to Beer-lahai-roi; for he was living in the Negev.

nasb@Genesis:21:63 @Isaac went out to meditate in the field toward evening; and he lifted up his eyes and looked, and behold, camels were coming.

nasb@Genesis:21:64 @Rebekah lifted up her eyes, and when she saw Isaac she dismounted from the camel.

nasb@Genesis:21:67 @Then Isaac brought her into his mother Sarah's tent, and he took Rebekah, and she became his wife, and he loved her; thus Isaac was comforted after his mother's death.

nasb@Genesis:22:3 @Jokshan became the father of Sheba and Dedan. And the sons of Dedan were Asshurim and Letushim and Leummim.

nasb@Genesis:22:11 @It came about after the death of Abraham, that God blessed his son Isaac; and Isaac lived by Beer-lahai-roi.

nasb@Genesis:22:13 @and these are the names of the sons of Ishmael, by their names, in the order of their birth- Nebaioth, the firstborn of Ishmael, and Kedar and Adbeel and Mibsam

nasb@Genesis:22:16 @These are the sons of Ishmael and these are their names, by their villages, and by their camps; twelve princes according to their tribes.

nasb@Genesis:22:19 @Now these are the records of the generations of Isaac, Abraham's son- Abraham became the father of Isaac;

nasb@Genesis:22:20 @and Isaac was forty years old when he took Rebekah, the daughter of Bethuel the Aramean of Paddan-aram, the sister of Laban the Aramean, to be his wife.

nasb@Genesis:22:21 @Isaac prayed to the LORD on behalf of his wife, because she was barren; and the LORD answered him and Rebekah his wife conceived.

nasb@Genesis:22:23 @The LORD said to her, " Two nations are in your womb; And two peoples will be separated from your body; And one people shall be stronger than the other; And the older shall serve the younger."

nasb@Genesis:22:24 @When her days to be delivered were fulfilled, behold, there were twins in her womb.

nasb@Genesis:22:27 @When the boys grew up, Esau became a skillful hunter, a man of the field, but Jacob was a peaceful man, living in tents.

nasb@Genesis:22:28 @Now Isaac loved Esau, because he had a taste for game, but Rebekah loved Jacob.

nasb@Genesis:22:32 @Esau said, "Behold, I am about to die; so of what use then is the birthright to me?"

nasb@Genesis:23:1 @Now there was a famine in the land, besides the previous famine that had occurred in the days of Abraham. So Isaac went to Gerar, to Abimelech king of the Philistines.

nasb@Genesis:23:3" @Sojourn in this land and I will be with you and bless you, for to you and to your descendants I will give all these lands, and I will establish the oath which I swore to your father Abraham.

nasb@Genesis:23:4" @ I will multiply your descendants as the stars of heaven, and will give your descendants all these lands; and by your descendants all the nations of the earth shall be blessed;

nasb@Genesis:23:7 @When the men of the place asked about his wife, he said, " She is my sister," for he was afraid to say, "my wife," thinking, "the men of the place might kill me on account of Rebekah, for she is beautiful."

nasb@Genesis:23:9 @Then Abimelech called Isaac and said, "Behold, certainly she is your wife! How then did you say, 'She is my sister'?" And Isaac said to him, "Because I said, 'I might die on account of her.'"

nasb@Genesis:23:11 @So Abimelech charged all the people, saying, "He who touches this man or his wife shall surely be put to death."

nasb@Genesis:23:13 @and the man became rich, and continued to grow richer until he became very wealthy;

nasb@Genesis:23:18 @Then Isaac dug again the wells of water which had been dug in the days of his father Abraham, for the Philistines had stopped them up after the death of Abraham; and he gave them the same names which his father had given them.

nasb@Genesis:23:20 @the herdsmen of Gerar quarreled with the herdsmen of Isaac, saying, "The water is ours!" So he named the well Esek, because they contended with him.

nasb@Genesis:23:22 @He moved away from there and dug another well, and they did not quarrel over it; so he named it Rehoboth, for he said, " At last the LORD has made room for us, and we will be fruitful in the land."

nasb@Genesis:23:23 @Then he went up from there to Beersheba.

nasb@Genesis:23:28 @They said, "We see plainly that the LORD has been with you; so we said, 'Let there now be an oath between us, even between you and us, and let us make a covenant with you,

nasb@Genesis:23:34 @When Esau was forty years old he married Judith the daughter of Beeri the Hittite, and Basemath the daughter of Elon the Hittite;

nasb@Genesis:24:5 @Rebekah was listening while Isaac spoke to his son Esau. So when Esau went to the field to hunt for game to bring home,

nasb@Genesis:24:6 @Rebekah said to her son Jacob, "Behold, I heard your father speak to your brother Esau, saying,

nasb@Genesis:24:10" @Then you shall bring it to your father, that he may eat, so that he may bless you before his death."

nasb@Genesis:24:11 @Jacob answered his mother Rebekah, "Behold, Esau my brother is a hairy man and I am a smooth man.

nasb@Genesis:24:12" @ Perhaps my father will feel me, then I will be as a deceiver in his sight, and I will bring upon myself a curse and not a blessing."

nasb@Genesis:24:13 @But his mother said to him, "Your curse be on me, my son; only obey my voice, and go, get them for me."

nasb@Genesis:24:15 @Then Rebekah took the best garments of Esau her elder son, which were with her in the house, and put them on Jacob her younger son.

nasb@Genesis:24:20 @Isaac said to his son, "How is it that you have it so quickly, my son?" And he said, " Because the LORD your God caused it to happen to me."

nasb@Genesis:24:23 @He did not recognize him, because his hands were hairy like his brother Esau's hands; so he blessed him.

nasb@Genesis:24:29 @May peoples serve you, And nations bow down to you; Be master of your brothers, And may your mother's sons bow down to you. Cursed be those who curse you, And blessed be those who bless you."

nasb@Genesis:24:33 @Then Isaac trembled violently, and said, " Who was he then that hunted game and brought it to me, so that I ate of all of it before you came, and blessed him? Yes, and he shall be blessed."

nasb@Genesis:24:36 @Then he said, "Is he not rightly named Jacob, for he has supplanted me these two times? He took away my birthright, and behold, now he has taken away my blessing." And he said, "Have you not reserved a blessing for me?"

nasb@Genesis:24:37 @But Isaac replied to Esau, "Behold, I have made him your master, and all his relatives I have given to him as servants; and with grain and new wine I have sustained him. Now as for you then, what can I do, my son?"

nasb@Genesis:24:39 @Then Isaac his father answered and said to him, "Behold, away from the fertility of the earth shall be your dwelling, And away from the dew of heaven from above.

nasb@Genesis:24:40" @By your sword you shall live, And your brother you shall serve; But it shall come about when you become restless, That you will break his yoke from your neck."

nasb@Genesis:24:41 @So Esau bore a grudge against Jacob because of the blessing with which his father had blessed him; and Esau said to himself, " The days of mourning for my father are near; then I will kill my brother Jacob."

nasb@Genesis:24:42 @Now when the words of her elder son Esau were reported to Rebekah, she sent and called her younger son Jacob, and said to him, "Behold your brother Esau is consoling himself concerning you by planning to kill you.

nasb@Genesis:25:20 @So Jacob served seven years for Rachel and they seemed to him but a few days because of his love for her.

nasb@Genesis:25:25 @So it came about in the morning that, behold, it was Leah! And he said to Laban, " What is this you have done to me? Was it not for Rachel that I served with you? Why then have you deceived me?"

nasb@Genesis:25:26 @But Laban said, "It is not the practice in our place to marry off the younger before the firstborn.

nasb@Genesis:25:32 @Leah conceived and bore a son and named him Reuben, for she said, "Because the LORD has seen my affliction; surely now my husband will love me."

nasb@Genesis:25:33 @Then she conceived again and bore a son and said, " Because the LORD has heard that I am unloved, He has therefore given me this son also." So she named him Simeon.

nasb@Genesis:25:34 @She conceived again and bore a son and said, "Now this time my husband will become attached to me, because I have borne him three sons." Therefore he was named Levi.

nasb@Genesis:25:35 @And she conceived again and bore a son and said, "This time I will praise the LORD." Therefore she named him Judah. Then she stopped bearing.

nasb@Genesis:26:1 @Now when Rachel saw that she bore Jacob no children, she became jealous of her sister; and she said to Jacob, " Give me children, or else I die."

nasb@Genesis:26:3 @She said, " Here is my maid Bilhah, go in to her that she may bear on my knees, that through her I too may have children."

nasb@Genesis:26:9 @When Leah saw that she had stopped bearing, she took her maid Zilpah and gave her to Jacob as a wife.

nasb@Genesis:26:14 @Now in the days of wheat harvest Reuben went and found mandrakes in the field, and brought them to his mother Leah. Then Rachel said to Leah, "Please give me some of your son's mandrakes."

nasb@Genesis:26:18 @Then Leah said, "God has given me my wages because I gave my maid to my husband." So she named him Issachar.

nasb@Genesis:26:20 @Then Leah said, "God has endowed me with a good gift; now my husband will dwell with me, because I have borne him six sons." So she named him Zebulun.

nasb@Genesis:26:22 @Then God remembered Rachel, and God gave heed to her and opened her womb.

nasb@Genesis:26:30" @For you had little before I came and it has increased to a multitude, and the LORD has blessed you wherever I turned. But now, when shall I provide for my own household also?"

nasb@Genesis:26:32 @let me pass through your entire flock today, removing from there every speckled and spotted sheep and every black one among the lambs and the spotted and speckled among the goats; and such shall be my wages.

nasb@Genesis:26:33" @So my honesty will answer for me later, when you come concerning my wages. Every one that is not speckled and spotted among the goats and black among the lambs, if found with me, will be considered stolen."

nasb@Genesis:26:34 @Laban said, "Good, let it be according to your word."

nasb@Genesis:26:36 @And he put a distance of three days' journey between himself and Jacob, and Jacob fed the rest of Laban's flocks.

nasb@Genesis:26:43 @So the man became exceedingly prosperous, and had large flocks and female and male servants and camels and donkeys.

nasb@Genesis:27:1 @Now Jacob heard the words of Laban's sons, saying, "Jacob has taken away all that was our father's, and from what belonged to our father he has made all this wealth."

nasb@Genesis:27:2 @Jacob saw the attitude of Laban, and behold, it was not friendly toward him as formerly.

nasb@Genesis:27:3 @Then the LORD said to Jacob, " Return to the land of your fathers and to your relatives, and I will be with you."

nasb@Genesis:27:5 @and said to them, " I see your father's attitude, that it is not friendly toward me as formerly, but the God of my father has been with me.

nasb@Genesis:27:8" @If he spoke thus, 'The speckled shall be your wages,' then all the flock brought forth speckled; and if he spoke thus, 'The striped shall be your wages,' then all the flock brought forth striped.

nasb@Genesis:27:10" @And it came about at the time when the flock were mating that I lifted up my eyes and saw in a dream, and behold, the male goats which were mating were striped, speckled, and mottled.

nasb@Genesis:27:12" @He said, 'Lift up now your eyes and see that all the male goats which are mating are striped, speckled, and mottled; for I have seen all that Laban has been doing to you.

nasb@Genesis:27:13 @'I am the God of Bethel, where you anointed a pillar, where you made a vow to Me; now arise, leave this land, and return to the land of your birth.'"

nasb@Genesis:27:16" @Surely all the wealth which God has taken away from our father belongs to us and our children; now then, do whatever God has said to you."

nasb@Genesis:27:24 @God came to Laban the Aramean in a dream of the night and said to him, " Be careful that you do not speak to Jacob either good or bad."

nasb@Genesis:27:29" @It is in my power to do you harm, but the God of your father spoke to me last night, saying, ' Be careful not to speak either good or bad to Jacob.'

nasb@Genesis:27:30" @Now you have indeed gone away because you longed greatly for your father's house; but why did you steal my gods?"

nasb@Genesis:27:31 @Then Jacob replied to Laban, "Because I was afraid, for I thought that you would take your daughters from me by force.

nasb@Genesis:27:32" @ The one with whom you find your gods shall not live; in the presence of our kinsmen point out what is yours among my belongings and take it for yourself." For Jacob did not know that Rachel had stolen them.

nasb@Genesis:27:35 @She said to her father, "Let not my lord be angry that I cannot rise before you, for the manner of women is upon me." So he searched but did not find the household idols.

nasb@Genesis:27:36 @Then Jacob became angry and contended with Laban; and Jacob said to Laban, "What is my transgression? What is my sin that you have hotly pursued me?

nasb@Genesis:27:37" @Though you have felt through all my goods, what have you found of all your household goods? Set it here before my kinsmen and your kinsmen, that they may decide between us two.

nasb@Genesis:27:38" @These twenty years I have been with you; your ewes and your female goats have not miscarried, nor have I eaten the rams of your flocks.

nasb@Genesis:27:39" @That which was torn of beasts I did not bring to you; I bore the loss of it myself. You required it of my hand whether stolen by day or stolen by night.

nasb@Genesis:27:41" @These twenty years I have been in your house; I served you fourteen years for your two daughters and six years for your flock, and you changed my wages ten times.

nasb@Genesis:27:42" @If the God of my father, the God of Abraham, and the fear of Isaac, had not been for me, surely now you would have sent me away empty-handed. God has seen my affliction and the toil of my hands, so He rendered judgment last night."

nasb@Genesis:27:44" @So now come, let us make a covenant, you and I, and let it be a witness between you and me."

nasb@Genesis:27:48 @Laban said, " This heap is a witness between you and me this day." Therefore it was named Galeed,

nasb@Genesis:27:49 @and Mizpah, for he said, "May the LORD watch between you and me when we are absent one from the other.

nasb@Genesis:27:50" @If you mistreat my daughters, or if you take wives besides my daughters, although no man is with us, see, God is witness between you and me."

nasb@Genesis:27:51 @Laban said to Jacob, "Behold this heap and behold the pillar which I have set between you and me.

nasb@Genesis:27:53" @ The God of Abraham and the God of Nahor, the God of their father, judge between us." So Jacob swore by the fear of his father Isaac.

nasb@Genesis:28:3 @Then Jacob sent messengers before him to his brother Esau in the land of Seir, the country of Edom.

nasb@Genesis:28:10 @I am unworthy of all the lovingkindness and of all the faithfulness which You have shown to Your servant; for with my staff only I crossed this Jordan, and now I have become two companies.

nasb@Genesis:28:12" @For You said, ' I will surely prosper you and make your descendants as the sand of the sea, which is too great to be numbered.'"

nasb@Genesis:28:16 @He delivered them into the hand of his servants, every drove by itself, and said to his servants, "Pass on before me, and put a space between droves."

nasb@Genesis:28:17 @He commanded the one in front, saying, "When my brother Esau meets you and asks you, saying, 'To whom do you belong, and where are you going, and to whom do these animals in front of you belong?'

nasb@Genesis:28:18 @then you shall say, 'These belong to your servant Jacob; it is a present sent to my lord Esau. And behold, he also is behind us.'"

nasb@Genesis:28:20 @and you shall say, 'Behold, your servant Jacob also is behind us.'" For he said, "I will appease him with the present that goes before me. Then afterward I will see his face; perhaps he will accept me."

nasb@Genesis:28:21 @So the present passed on before him, while he himself spent that night in the camp.

nasb@Genesis:28:28 @He said, "Your name shall no longer be Jacob, but Israel; for you have striven with God and with men and have prevailed."

nasb@Genesis:28:30 @So Jacob named the place Peniel, for he said, " I have seen God face to face, yet my life has been preserved."

nasb@Genesis:28:32 @Therefore, to this day the sons of Israel do not eat the sinew of the hip which is on the socket of the thigh, because he touched the socket of Jacob's thigh in the sinew of the hip.

nasb@Genesis:29:1 @Then Jacob lifted his eyes and looked, and behold, Esau was coming, and four hundred men with him. So he divided the children among Leah and Rachel and the two maids.

nasb@Genesis:29:9 @But Esau said, " I have plenty, my brother; let what you have be your own."

nasb@Genesis:29:11" @Please take my gift which has been brought to you, because God has dealt graciously with me and because I have plenty." Thus he urged him and he took it.

nasb@Genesis:29:12 @Then Esau said, "Let us take our journey and go, and I will go before you."

nasb@Genesis:29:14" @Please let my lord pass on before his servant, and I will proceed at my leisure, according to the pace of the cattle that are before me and according to the pace of the children, until I come to my lord at Seir."

nasb@Genesis:29:18 @Now Jacob came safely to the city of Shechem, which is in the land of Canaan, when he came from Paddan-aram, and camped before the city.

nasb@Genesis:30:7 @Now the sons of Jacob came in from the field when they heard it; and the men were grieved, and they were very angry because he had done a disgraceful thing in Israel by lying with Jacob's daughter, for such a thing ought not to be done.

nasb@Genesis:30:10" @Thus you shall live with us, and the land shall be open before you; live and trade in it and acquire property in it."

nasb@Genesis:30:13 @But Jacob's sons answered Shechem and his father Hamor with deceit, because he had defiled Dinah their sister.

nasb@Genesis:30:14 @They said to them, "We cannot do this thing, to give our sister to one who is uncircumcised, for that would be a disgrace to us.

nasb@Genesis:30:15" @Only on this condition will we consent to you- if you will become like us, in that every male of you be circumcised,

nasb@Genesis:30:16 @then we will give our daughters to you, and we will take your daughters for ourselves, and we will live with you and become one people.

nasb@Genesis:30:17" @But if you will not listen to us to be circumcised, then we will take our daughter and go."

nasb@Genesis:30:19 @The young man did not delay to do the thing, because he was delighted with Jacob's daughter. Now he was more respected than all the household of his father.

nasb@Genesis:30:21" @These men are friendly with us; therefore let them live in the land and trade in it, for behold, the land is large enough for them. Let us take their daughters in marriage, and give our daughters to them.

nasb@Genesis:30:22" @Only on this condition will the men consent to us to live with us, to become one people- that every male among us be circumcised as they are circumcised.

nasb@Genesis:30:23" @Will not their livestock and their property and all their animals be ours? Only let us consent to them, and they will live with us."

nasb@Genesis:30:27 @Jacob's sons came upon the slain and looted the city, because they had defiled their sister.

nasb@Genesis:30:30 @Then Jacob said to Simeon and Levi, "You have brought trouble on me by making me odious among the inhabitants of the land, among the Canaanites and the Perizzites; and my men being few in number, they will gather together against me and attack me and I will be destroyed, I and my household."

nasb@Genesis:31:1 @Then God said to Jacob, "Arise, go up to Bethel and live there, and make an altar there to God, who appeared to you when you fled from your brother Esau."

nasb@Genesis:31:3 @and let us arise and go up to Bethel, and I will make an altar there to God, who answered me in the day of my distress and has been with me wherever I have gone."

nasb@Genesis:31:6 @So Jacob came to Luz (that is, Bethel), which is in the land of Canaan, he and all the people who were with him.

nasb@Genesis:31:7 @He built an altar there, and called the place El-bethel, because there God had revealed Himself to him when he fled from his brother.

nasb@Genesis:31:8 @Now Deborah, Rebekah's nurse, died, and she was buried below Bethel under the oak; it was named Allon-bacuth.

nasb@Genesis:31:10 @God said to him, "Your name is Jacob; You shall no longer be called Jacob, But Israel shall be your name." Thus He called him Israel.

nasb@Genesis:31:11 @God also said to him, "I am God Almighty; Be fruitful and multiply; A nation and a company of nations shall come from you, And kings shall come forth from you.

nasb@Genesis:31:15 @So Jacob named the place where God had spoken with him, Bethel.

nasb@Genesis:31:16 @Then they journeyed from Bethel; and when there was still some distance to go to Ephrath, Rachel began to give birth and she suffered severe labor.

nasb@Genesis:31:18 @It came about as her soul was departing (for she died), that she named him Ben-oni; but his father called him Benjamin.

nasb@Genesis:31:19 @So Rachel died and was buried on the way to Ephrath (that is, Bethlehem).

nasb@Genesis:31:21 @Then Israel journeyed on and pitched his tent beyond the tower of Eder.

nasb@Genesis:31:22 @It came about while Israel was dwelling in that land, that Reuben went and lay with Bilhah his father's concubine, and Israel heard of it.

nasb@Genesis:31:23 @the sons of Leah- Reuben, Jacob's firstborn, then Simeon and Levi and Judah and Issachar and Zebulun;

nasb@Genesis:31:24 @the sons of Rachel- Joseph and Benjamin;

nasb@Genesis:32:2 @Esau took his wives from the daughters of Canaan- Adah the daughter of Elon the Hittite, and Oholibamah the daughter of Anah and the granddaughter of Zibeon the Hivite;

nasb@Genesis:32:7 @For their property had become too great for them to live together, and the land where they sojourned could not sustain them because of their livestock.

nasb@Genesis:32:14 @These were the sons of Esau's wife Oholibamah, the daughter of Anah and the granddaughter of Zibeon- she bore to Esau, Jeush and Jalam and Korah.

nasb@Genesis:32:20 @These are the sons of Seir the Horite, the inhabitants of the land- Lotan and Shobal and Zibeon and Anah,

nasb@Genesis:32:24 @These are the sons of Zibeon- Aiah and Anah--he is the Anah who found the hot springs in the wilderness when he was pasturing the donkeys of his father Zibeon.

nasb@Genesis:32:29 @These are the chiefs descended from the Horites- chief Lotan, chief Shobal, chief Zibeon, chief Anah,

nasb@Genesis:32:31 @Now these are the kings who reigned in the land of Edom before any king reigned over the sons of Israel.

nasb@Genesis:32:32 @Bela the son of Beor reigned in Edom, and the name of his city was Dinhabah.

nasb@Genesis:32:33 @Then Bela died, and Jobab the son of Zerah of Bozrah became king in his place.

nasb@Genesis:32:34 @Then Jobab died, and Husham of the land of the Temanites became king in his place.

nasb@Genesis:32:35 @Then Husham died, and Hadad the son of Bedad, who defeated Midian in the field of Moab, became king in his place; and the name of his city was Avith.

nasb@Genesis:32:36 @Then Hadad died, and Samlah of Masrekah became king in his place.

nasb@Genesis:32:37 @Then Samlah died, and Shaul of Rehoboth on the Euphrates River became king in his place.

nasb@Genesis:32:38 @Then Shaul died, and Baal-hanan the son of Achbor became king in his place.

nasb@Genesis:32:39 @Then Baal-hanan the son of Achbor died, and Hadar became king in his place; and the name of his city was Pau; and his wife's name was Mehetabel, the daughter of Matred, daughter of Mezahab.

nasb@Genesis:33:3 @Now Israel loved Joseph more than all his sons, because he was the son of his old age; and he made him a varicolored tunic.

nasb@Genesis:33:7 @for behold, we were binding sheaves in the field, and lo, my sheaf rose up and also stood erect; and behold, your sheaves gathered around and bowed down to my sheaf."

nasb@Genesis:33:9 @Now he had still another dream, and related it to his brothers, and said, "Lo, I have had still another dream; and behold, the sun and the moon and eleven stars were bowing down to me."

nasb@Genesis:33:10 @He related it to his father and to his brothers; and his father rebuked him and said to him, "What is this dream that you have had? Shall I and your mother and your brothers actually come to bow ourselves down before you to the ground?"

nasb@Genesis:33:15 @A man found him, and behold, he was wandering in the field; and the man asked him, "What are you looking for?"

nasb@Genesis:33:18 @When they saw him from a distance and before he came close to them, they plotted against him to put him to death.

nasb@Genesis:33:20" @Now then, come and let us kill him and throw him into one of the pits; and we will say, 'A wild beast devoured him.' Then let us see what will become of his dreams!"

nasb@Genesis:33:21 @But Reuben heard this and rescued him out of their hands and said, "Let us not take his life."

nasb@Genesis:33:22 @Reuben further said to them, "Shed no blood. Throw him into this pit that is in the wilderness, but do not lay hands on him"--that he might rescue him out of their hands, to restore him to his father.

nasb@Genesis:33:25 @Then they sat down to eat a meal. And as they raised their eyes and looked, behold, a caravan of Ishmaelites was coming from Gilead, with their camels bearing aromatic gum and balm and myrrh, on their way to bring them down to Egypt.

nasb@Genesis:33:29 @Now Reuben returned to the pit, and behold, Joseph was not in the pit; so he tore his garments.

nasb@Genesis:33:33 @Then he examined it and said, "It is my son's tunic. A wild beast has devoured him; Joseph has surely been torn to pieces!"

nasb@Genesis:33:35 @Then all his sons and all his daughters arose to comfort him, but he refused to be comforted. And he said, "Surely I will go down to Sheol in mourning for my son." So his father wept for him.

nasb@Genesis:34:9 @Onan knew that the offspring would not be his; so when he went in to his brother's wife, he wasted his seed on the ground in order not to give offspring to his brother.

nasb@Genesis:34:13 @It was told to Tamar, "Behold, your father-in-law is going up to Timnah to shear his sheep."

nasb@Genesis:34:14 @So she removed her widow's garments and covered herself with a veil, and wrapped herself, and sat in the gateway of Enaim, which is on the road to Timnah; for she saw that Shelah had grown up, and she had not been given to him as a wife.

nasb@Genesis:34:21 @He asked the men of her place, saying, "Where is the temple prostitute who was by the road at Enaim?" But they said, "There has been no temple prostitute here."

nasb@Genesis:34:22 @So he returned to Judah, and said, "I did not find her; and furthermore, the men of the place said, 'There has been no temple prostitute here.'"

nasb@Genesis:34:23 @Then Judah said, "Let her keep them, otherwise we will become a laughingstock. After all, I sent this young goat, but you did not find her."

nasb@Genesis:34:24 @Now it was about three months later that Judah was informed, "Your daughter-in-law Tamar has played the harlot, and behold, she is also with child by harlotry." Then Judah said, "Bring her out and let her be burned!"

nasb@Genesis:34:25 @It was while she was being brought out that she sent to her father-in-law, saying, "I am with child by the man to whom these things belong." And she said, " Please examine and see, whose signet ring and cords and staff are these?"

nasb@Genesis:34:27 @It came about at the time she was giving birth, that behold, there were twins in her womb.

nasb@Genesis:34:29 @But it came about as he drew back his hand, that behold, his brother came out. Then she said, "What a breach you have made for yourself!" So he was named Perez.

nasb@Genesis:35:1 @Now Joseph had been taken down to Egypt; and Potiphar, an Egyptian officer of Pharaoh, the captain of the bodyguard, bought him from the Ishmaelites, who had taken him down there.

nasb@Genesis:35:2 @The LORD was with Joseph, so he became a successful man. And he was in the house of his master, the Egyptian.

nasb@Genesis:35:4 @So Joseph found favor in his sight and became his personal servant; and he made him overseer over his house, and all that he owned he put in his charge.

nasb@Genesis:35:8 @But he refused and said to his master's wife, "Behold, with me here, my master does not concern himself with anything in the house, and he has put all that he owns in my charge.

nasb@Genesis:35:9" @ There is no one greater in this house than I, and he has withheld nothing from me except you, because you are his wife. How then could I do this great evil and sin against God?"

nasb@Genesis:35:10 @As she spoke to Joseph day after day, he did not listen to her to lie beside her or be with her.

nasb@Genesis:35:15" @When he heard that I raised my voice and screamed, he left his garment beside me and fled and went outside."

nasb@Genesis:35:16 @So she left his garment beside her until his master came home.

nasb@Genesis:35:18 @and as I raised my voice and screamed, he left his garment beside me and fled outside."

nasb@Genesis:35:23 @The chief jailer did not supervise anything under Joseph's charge because the LORD was with him; and whatever he did, the LORD made to prosper.

nasb@Genesis:36:1 @Then it came about after these things, the cupbearer and the baker for the king of Egypt offended their lord, the king of Egypt.

nasb@Genesis:36:2 @Pharaoh was furious with his two officials, the chief cupbearer and the chief baker.

nasb@Genesis:36:5 @Then the cupbearer and the baker for the king of Egypt, who were confined in jail, both had a dream the same night, each man with his own dream and each dream with its own interpretation.

nasb@Genesis:36:6 @When Joseph came to them in the morning and observed them, behold, they were dejected.

nasb@Genesis:36:8 @Then they said to him, " We have had a dream and there is no one to interpret it." Then Joseph said to them, " Do not interpretations belong to God? Tell it to me, please."

nasb@Genesis:36:9 @So the chief cupbearer told his dream to Joseph, and said to him, "In my dream, behold, there was a vine in front of me;

nasb@Genesis:36:13 @within three more days Pharaoh will lift up your head and restore you to your office; and you will put Pharaoh's cup into his hand according to your former custom when you were his cupbearer.

nasb@Genesis:36:16 @When the chief baker saw that he had interpreted favorably, he said to Joseph, "I also saw in my dream, and behold, there were three baskets of white bread on my head;

nasb@Genesis:36:20 @Thus it came about on the third day, which was Pharaoh's birthday, that he made a feast for all his servants; and he lifted up the head of the chief cupbearer and the head of the chief baker among his servants.

nasb@Genesis:36:21 @He restored the chief cupbearer to his office, and he put the cup into Pharaoh's hand;

nasb@Genesis:36:23 @Yet the chief cupbearer did not remember Joseph, but forgot him.

nasb@Genesis:37:1 @Now it happened at the end of two full years that Pharaoh had a dream, and behold, he was standing by the Nile.

nasb@Genesis:37:3 @Then behold, seven other cows came up after them from the Nile, ugly and gaunt, and they stood by the other cows on the bank of the Nile.

nasb@Genesis:37:5 @He fell asleep and dreamed a second time; and behold, seven ears of grain came up on a single stalk, plump and good.

nasb@Genesis:37:6 @Then behold, seven ears, thin and scorched by the east wind, sprouted up after them.

nasb@Genesis:37:7 @The thin ears swallowed up the seven plump and full ears. Then Pharaoh awoke, and behold, it was a dream.

nasb@Genesis:37:9 @Then the chief cupbearer spoke to Pharaoh, saying, "I would make mention today of my own offenses.

nasb@Genesis:37:17 @So Pharaoh spoke to Joseph, "In my dream, behold, I was standing on the bank of the Nile;

nasb@Genesis:37:18 @and behold, seven cows, fat and sleek came up out of the Nile, and they grazed in the marsh grass.

nasb@Genesis:37:21" @Yet when they had devoured them, it could not be detected that they had devoured them, for they were just as ugly as before. Then I awoke.

nasb@Genesis:37:22" @I saw also in my dream, and behold, seven ears, full and good, came up on a single stalk;

nasb@Genesis:37:27" @The seven lean and ugly cows that came up after them are seven years, and the seven thin ears scorched by the east wind will be seven years of famine.

nasb@Genesis:37:29" @Behold, seven years of great abundance are coming in all the land of Egypt;

nasb@Genesis:37:30 @and after them seven years of famine will come, and all the abundance will be forgotten in the land of Egypt, and the famine will ravage the land.

nasb@Genesis:37:31" @So the abundance will be unknown in the land because of that subsequent famine; for it will be very severe.

nasb@Genesis:37:36" @Let the food become as a reserve for the land for the seven years of famine which will occur in the land of Egypt, so that the land will not perish during the famine."

nasb@Genesis:37:40" @ You shall be over my house, and according to your command all my people shall do homage; only in the throne I will be greater than you."

nasb@Genesis:37:43 @He had him ride in his second chariot; and they proclaimed before him, "Bow the knee!" And he set him over all the land of Egypt.

nasb@Genesis:37:46 @Now Joseph was thirty years old when he stood before Pharaoh, king of Egypt. And Joseph went out from the presence of Pharaoh and went through all the land of Egypt.

nasb@Genesis:37:49 @Thus Joseph stored up grain in great abundance like the sand of the sea, until he stopped measuring it, for it was beyond measure.

nasb@Genesis:37:50 @Now before the year of famine came, two sons were born to Joseph, whom Asenath, the daughter of Potiphera priest of On, bore to him.

nasb@Genesis:37:53 @When the seven years of plenty which had been in the land of Egypt came to an end,

nasb@Genesis:37:54 @and the seven years of famine began to come, just as Joseph had said, then there was famine in all the lands, but in all the land of Egypt there was bread.

nasb@Genesis:37:57 @The people of all the earth came to Egypt to buy grain from Joseph, because the famine was severe in all the earth.

nasb@Genesis:38:2 @He said, "Behold, I have heard that there is grain in Egypt; go down there and buy some for us from that place, so that we may live and not die."

nasb@Genesis:38:4 @But Jacob did not send Joseph's brother Benjamin with his brothers, for he said, " I am afraid that harm may befall him."

nasb@Genesis:38:9 @Joseph remembered the dreams which he had about them, and said to them, "You are spies; you have come to look at the undefended parts of our land."

nasb@Genesis:38:13 @But they said, "Your servants are twelve brothers in all, the sons of one man in the land of Canaan; and behold, the youngest is with our father today, and one is no longer alive."

nasb@Genesis:38:15 @by this you will be tested- by the life of Pharaoh, you shall not go from this place unless your youngest brother comes here!

nasb@Genesis:38:16" @Send one of you that he may get your brother, while you remain confined, that your words may be tested, whether there is truth in you. But if not, by the life of Pharaoh, surely you are spies."

nasb@Genesis:38:19 @if you are honest men, let one of your brothers be confined in your prison; but as for the rest of you, go, carry grain for the famine of your households,

nasb@Genesis:38:20 @and bring your youngest brother to me, so your words may be verified, and you will not die." And they did so.

nasb@Genesis:38:21 @Then they said to one another, " Truly we are guilty concerning our brother, because we saw the distress of his soul when he pleaded with us, yet we would not listen; therefore this distress has come upon us."

nasb@Genesis:38:22 @Reuben answered them, saying, " Did I not tell you, 'Do not sin against the boy'; and you would not listen? Now comes the reckoning for his blood."

nasb@Genesis:38:23 @They did not know, however, that Joseph understood, for there was an interpreter between them.

nasb@Genesis:38:24 @He turned away from them and wept. But when he returned to them and spoke to them, he took Simeon from them and bound him before their eyes.

nasb@Genesis:38:27 @As one of them opened his sack to give his donkey fodder at the lodging place, he saw his money; and behold, it was in the mouth of his sack.

nasb@Genesis:38:28 @Then he said to his brothers, "My money has been returned, and behold, it is even in my sack." And their hearts sank, and they turned trembling to one another, saying, " What is this that God has done to us?"

nasb@Genesis:38:35 @Now it came about as they were emptying their sacks, that behold, every man's bundle of money was in his sack; and when they and their father saw their bundles of money, they were dismayed.

nasb@Genesis:38:36 @Their father Jacob said to them, "You have bereaved me of my children- Joseph is no more, and Simeon is no more, and you would take Benjamin; all these things are against me."

nasb@Genesis:38:37 @Then Reuben spoke to his father, saying, "You may put my two sons to death if I do not bring him back to you; put him in my care, and I will return him to you."

nasb@Genesis:38:38 @But Jacob said, "My son shall not go down with you; for his brother is dead, and he alone is left. If harm should befall him on the journey you are taking, then you will bring my gray hair down to Sheol in sorrow."

nasb@Genesis:39:9" @ I myself will be surety for him; you may hold me responsible for him. If I do not bring him back to you and set him before you, then let me bear the blame before you forever.

nasb@Genesis:39:11 @Then their father Israel said to them, "If it must be so, then do this- take some of the best products of the land in your bags, and carry down to the man as a present, a little balm and a little honey, aromatic gum and myrrh, pistachio nuts and almonds.

nasb@Genesis:39:14 @and may God Almighty grant you compassion in the sight of the man, so that he will release to you your other brother and Benjamin. And as for me, if I am bereaved of my children, I am bereaved."

nasb@Genesis:39:15 @So the men took this present, and they took double the money in their hand, and Benjamin; then they arose and went down to Egypt and stood before Joseph.

nasb@Genesis:39:16 @When Joseph saw Benjamin with them, he said to his house steward, "Bring the men into the house, and slay an animal and make ready; for the men are to dine with me at noon."

nasb@Genesis:39:18 @Now the men were afraid, because they were brought to Joseph's house; and they said, "It is because of the money that was returned in our sacks the first time that we are being brought in, that he may seek occasion against us and fall upon us, and take us for slaves with our donkeys."

nasb@Genesis:39:21 @and it came about when we came to the lodging place, that we opened our sacks, and behold, each man's money was in the mouth of his sack, our money in full. So we have brought it back in our hand.

nasb@Genesis:39:23 @He said, " Be at ease, do not be afraid. Your God and the God of your father has given you treasure in your sacks; I had your money." Then he brought Simeon out to them.

nasb@Genesis:39:26 @When Joseph came home, they brought into the house to him the present which was in their hand and bowed to the ground before him.

nasb@Genesis:39:29 @As he lifted his eyes and saw his brother Benjamin, his mother's son, he said, "Is this your youngest brother, of whom you spoke to me?" And he said, " May God be gracious to you, my son."

nasb@Genesis:39:30 @Joseph hurried out for he was deeply stirred over his brother, and he sought a place to weep; and he entered his chamber and wept there.

nasb@Genesis:39:32 @So they served him by himself, and them by themselves, and the Egyptians who ate with him by themselves, because the Egyptians could not eat bread with the Hebrews, for that is loathsome to the Egyptians.

nasb@Genesis:39:33 @Now they were seated before him, the firstborn according to his birthright and the youngest according to his youth, and the men looked at one another in astonishment.

nasb@Genesis:39:34 @He took portions to them from his own table, but Benjamin's portion was five times as much as any of theirs. So they feasted and drank freely with him.

nasb@Genesis:39:7 @They said to him, "Why does my lord speak such words as these? Far be it from your servants to do such a thing.

nasb@Genesis:39:8" @Behold, the money which we found in the mouth of our sacks we have brought back to you from the land of Canaan. How then could we steal silver or gold from your lord's house?

nasb@Genesis:39:9" @ With whomever of your servants it is found, let him die, and we also will be my lord's slaves."

nasb@Genesis:39:10 @So he said, "Now let it also be according to your words; he with whom it is found shall be my slave, and the rest of you shall be innocent."

nasb@Genesis:39:12 @He searched, beginning with the oldest and ending with the youngest, and the cup was found in Benjamin's sack.

nasb@Genesis:39:14 @When Judah and his brothers came to Joseph's house, he was still there, and they fell to the ground before him.

nasb@Genesis:39:16 @So Judah said, "What can we say to my lord? What can we speak? And how can we justify ourselves? God has found out the iniquity of your servants; behold, we are my lord's slaves, both we and the one in whose possession the cup has been found."

nasb@Genesis:39:17 @But he said, "Far be it from me to do this. The man in whose possession the cup has been found, he shall be my slave; but as for you, go up in peace to your father."

nasb@Genesis:39:18 @Then Judah approached him, and said, "Oh my lord, may your servant please speak a word in my lord's ears, and do not be angry with your servant; for you are equal to Pharaoh.

nasb@Genesis:39:29 @'If you take this one also from me, and harm befalls him, you will bring my gray hair down to Sheol in sorrow.'

nasb@Genesis:39:32" @For your servant became surety for the lad to my father, saying, 'If I do not bring him back to you, then let me bear the blame before my father forever.'

nasb@Genesis:40:1 @Then Joseph could not control himself before all those who stood by him, and he cried, "Have everyone go out from me." So there was no man with him when Joseph made himself known to his brothers.

nasb@Genesis:40:5" @Now do not be grieved or angry with yourselves, because you sold me here, for God sent me before you to preserve life.

nasb@Genesis:40:6" @For the famine has been in the land these two years, and there are still five years in which there will be neither plowing nor harvesting.

nasb@Genesis:40:7" @ God sent me before you to preserve for you a remnant in the earth, and to keep you alive by a great deliverance.

nasb@Genesis:40:10" @You shall live in the land of Goshen, and you shall be near me, you and your children and your children's children and your flocks and your herds and all that you have.

nasb@Genesis:40:11" @There I will also provide for you, for there are still five years of famine to come, and you and your household and all that you have would be impoverished."'

nasb@Genesis:40:12" @Behold, your eyes see, and the eyes of my brother Benjamin see, that it is my mouth which is speaking to you.

nasb@Genesis:40:14 @Then he fell on his brother Benjamin's neck and wept, and Benjamin wept on his neck.

nasb@Genesis:40:17 @Then Pharaoh said to Joseph, "Say to your brothers, 'Do this- load your beasts and go to the land of Canaan,

nasb@Genesis:40:18 @and take your father and your households and come to me, and I will give you the best of the land of Egypt and you will eat the fat of the land.'

nasb@Genesis:40:20 @'Do not concern yourselves with your goods, for the best of all the land of Egypt is yours.'"

nasb@Genesis:40:22 @To each of them he gave changes of garments, but to Benjamin he gave three hundred pieces of silver and five changes of garments.

nasb@Genesis:40:23 @To his father he sent as follows- ten donkeys loaded with the best things of Egypt, and ten female donkeys loaded with grain and bread and sustenance for his father on the journey.

nasb@Genesis:40:26 @They told him, saying, "Joseph is still alive, and indeed he is ruler over all the land of Egypt." But he was stunned, for he did not believe them.

nasb@Genesis:40:28 @Then Israel said, "It is enough; my son Joseph is still alive. I will go and see him before I die."

nasb@Genesis:41:1 @So Israel set out with all that he had, and came to Beersheba, and offered sacrifices to the God of his father Isaac.

nasb@Genesis:41:3 @He said, " I am God, the God of your father; do not be afraid to go down to Egypt, for I will make you a great nation there.

nasb@Genesis:41:5 @Then Jacob arose from Beersheba; and the sons of Israel carried their father Jacob and their little ones and their wives in the wagons which Pharaoh had sent to carry him.

nasb@Genesis:41:8 @Now these are the names of the sons of Israel, Jacob and his sons, who went to Egypt- Reuben, Jacob's firstborn.

nasb@Genesis:41:9 @The sons of Reuben- Hanoch and Pallu and Hezron and Carmi.

nasb@Genesis:41:15 @These are the sons of Leah, whom she bore to Jacob in Paddan-aram, with his daughter Dinah; all his sons and his daughters numbered thirty-three.

nasb@Genesis:41:17 @The sons of Asher- Imnah and Ishvah and Ishvi and Beriah and their sister Serah. And the sons of Beriah: Heber and Malchiel.

nasb@Genesis:41:19 @The sons of Jacob's wife Rachel- Joseph and Benjamin.

nasb@Genesis:41:21 @The sons of Benjamin- Bela and Becher and Ashbel, Gera and Naaman, Ehi and Rosh, Muppim and Huppim and Ard.

nasb@Genesis:41:26 @All the persons belonging to Jacob, who came to Egypt, his direct descendants, not including the wives of Jacob's sons, were sixty-six persons in all,

nasb@Genesis:41:28 @Now he sent Judah before him to Joseph, to point out the way before him to Goshen; and they came into the land of Goshen.

nasb@Genesis:41:29 @Joseph prepared his chariot and went up to Goshen to meet his father Israel; as soon as he appeared before him, he fell on his neck and wept on his neck a long time.

nasb@Genesis:41:32 @and the men are shepherds, for they have been keepers of livestock; and they have brought their flocks and their herds and all that they have.'

nasb@Genesis:41:34 @you shall say, 'Your servants have been keepers of livestock from our youth even until now, both we and our fathers,' that you may live in the land of Goshen; for every shepherd is loathsome to the Egyptians."

nasb@Genesis:42:1 @Then Joseph went in and told Pharaoh, and said, "My father and my brothers and their flocks and their herds and all that they have, have come out of the land of Canaan; and behold, they are in the land of Goshen."

nasb@Genesis:42:6" @The land of Egypt is at your disposal; settle your father and your brothers in the best of the land, let them live in the land of Goshen; and if you know any capable men among them, then put them in charge of my livestock."

nasb@Genesis:42:9 @So Jacob said to Pharaoh, "The years of my sojourning are one hundred and thirty; few and unpleasant have been the years of my life, nor have they attained the years that my fathers lived during the days of their sojourning."

nasb@Genesis:42:11 @So Joseph settled his father and his brothers and gave them a possession in the land of Egypt, in the best of the land, in the land of Rameses, as Pharaoh had ordered.

nasb@Genesis:42:13 @Now there was no food in all the land, because the famine was very severe, so that the land of Egypt and the land of Canaan languished because of the famine.

nasb@Genesis:42:19" @Why should we die before your eyes, both we and our land? Buy us and our land for food, and we and our land will be slaves to Pharaoh. So give us seed, that we may live and not die, and that the land may not be desolate."

nasb@Genesis:42:20 @So Joseph bought all the land of Egypt for Pharaoh, for every Egyptian sold his field, because the famine was severe upon them. Thus the land became Pharaoh's.

nasb@Genesis:42:23 @Then Joseph said to the people, "Behold, I have today bought you and your land for Pharaoh; now, here is seed for you, and you may sow the land.

nasb@Genesis:42:24" @At the harvest you shall give a fifth to Pharaoh, and four-fifths shall be your own for seed of the field and for your food and for those of your households and as food for your little ones."

nasb@Genesis:42:25 @So they said, "You have saved our lives! Let us find favor in the sight of my lord, and we will be Pharaoh's slaves."

nasb@Genesis:42:26 @Joseph made it a statute concerning the land of Egypt valid to this day, that Pharaoh should have the fifth; only the land of the priests did not become Pharaoh's.

nasb@Genesis:42:27 @Now Israel lived in the land of Egypt, in Goshen, and they acquired property in it and were fruitful and became very numerous.

nasb@Genesis:42:31 @He said, " Swear to me." So he swore to him. Then Israel bowed in worship at the head of the bed.

nasb@Genesis:43:1 @Now it came about after these things that Joseph was told, "Behold, your father is sick." So he took his two sons Manasseh and Ephraim with him.

nasb@Genesis:43:2 @When it was told to Jacob, "Behold, your son Joseph has come to you," Israel collected his strength and sat up in the bed.

nasb@Genesis:43:4 @and He said to me, 'Behold, I will make you fruitful and numerous, and I will make you a company of peoples, and will give this land to your descendants after you for an everlasting possession.'

nasb@Genesis:43:5" @Now your two sons, who were born to you in the land of Egypt before I came to you in Egypt, are mine; Ephraim and Manasseh shall be mine, as Reuben and Simeon are.

nasb@Genesis:43:6" @But your offspring that have been born after them shall be yours; they shall be called by the names of their brothers in their inheritance.

nasb@Genesis:43:7" @Now as for me, when I came from Paddan, Rachel died, to my sorrow, in the land of Canaan on the journey, when there was still some distance to go to Ephrath; and I buried her there on the way to Ephrath (that is, Bethlehem)."

nasb@Genesis:43:11 @Israel said to Joseph, "I never expected to see your face, and behold, God has let me see your children as well."

nasb@Genesis:43:15 @He blessed Joseph, and said, " The God before whom my fathers Abraham and Isaac walked, The God who has been my shepherd all my life to this day,

nasb@Genesis:43:19 @But his father refused and said, "I know, my son, I know; he also will become a people and he also will be great. However, his younger brother shall be greater than he, and his descendants shall become a multitude of nations."

nasb@Genesis:43:20 @He blessed them that day, saying, "By you Israel will pronounce blessing, saying, 'May God make you like Ephraim and Manasseh!'" Thus he put Ephraim before Manasseh.

nasb@Genesis:43:21 @Then Israel said to Joseph, "Behold, I am about to die, but God will be with you, and bring you back to the land of your fathers.

nasb@Genesis:43:49 @Then Jacob summoned his sons and said, "Assemble yourselves that I may tell you what will befall you in the days to come.

nasb@Genesis:43:3" @Reuben, you are my firstborn; My might and the beginning of my strength, Preeminent in dignity and preeminent in power.

nasb@Genesis:43:4" @Uncontrolled as water, you shall not have preeminence, Because you went up to your father's bed; Then you defiled it--he went up to my couch.

nasb@Genesis:43:6" @ Let my soul not enter into their council; Let not my glory be united with their assembly; Because in their anger they slew men, And in their self-will they lamed oxen.

nasb@Genesis:43:7" @Cursed be their anger, for it is fierce; And their wrath, for it is cruel. I will disperse them in Jacob, And scatter them in Israel.

nasb@Genesis:43:8" @Judah, your brothers shall praise you; Your hand shall be on the neck of your enemies; Your father's sons shall bow down to you.

nasb@Genesis:43:10" @ The scepter shall not depart from Judah, Nor the ruler's staff from between his feet, Until Shiloh comes, And to him shall be the obedience of the peoples.

nasb@Genesis:43:11" @ He ties his foal to the vine, And his donkey's colt to the choice vine; He washes his garments in wine, And his robes in the blood of grapes.

nasb@Genesis:43:13" @ Zebulun will dwell at the seashore; And he shall be a haven for ships, And his flank shall be toward Sidon.

nasb@Genesis:43:14" @Issachar is a strong donkey, Lying down between the sheepfolds.

nasb@Genesis:43:15" @When he saw that a resting place was good And that the land was pleasant, He bowed his shoulder to bear burdens, And became a slave at forced labor.

nasb@Genesis:43:16" @ Dan shall judge his people, As one of the tribes of Israel.

nasb@Genesis:43:17" @Dan shall be a serpent in the way, A horned snake in the path, That bites the horse's heels, So that his rider falls backward.

nasb@Genesis:43:20" @ As for Asher, his food shall be rich, And he will yield royal dainties.

nasb@Genesis:43:21" @ Naphtali is a doe let loose, He gives beautiful words.

nasb@Genesis:43:25 @From the God of your father who helps you, And by the Almighty who blesses you With blessings of heaven above, Blessings of the deep that lies beneath, Blessings of the breasts and of the womb.

nasb@Genesis:43:26" @The blessings of your father Have surpassed the blessings of my ancestors Up to the utmost bound of the everlasting hills; May they be on the head of Joseph, And on the crown of the head of the one distinguished among his brothers.

nasb@Genesis:43:27" @Benjamin is a ravenous wolf; In the morning he devours the prey, And in the evening he divides the spoil."

nasb@Genesis:43:28 @All these are the twelve tribes of Israel, and this is what their father said to them when he blessed them. He blessed them, every one with the blessing appropriate to him.

nasb@Genesis:43:29 @Then he charged them and said to them, "I am about to be gathered to my people; bury me with my fathers in the cave that is in the field of Ephron the Hittite,

nasb@Genesis:43:30 @in the cave that is in the field of Machpelah, which is before Mamre, in the land of Canaan, which Abraham bought along with the field from Ephron the Hittite for a burial site.

nasb@Genesis:44:5 @' My father made me swear, saying, "Behold, I am about to die; in my grave which I dug for myself in the land of Canaan, there you shall bury me." Now therefore, please let me go up and bury my father; then I will return.'"

nasb@Genesis:44:10 @When they came to the threshing floor of Atad, which is beyond the Jordan, they lamented there with a very great and sorrowful lamentation; and he observed seven days mourning for his father.

nasb@Genesis:44:11 @Now when the inhabitants of the land, the Canaanites, saw the mourning at the threshing floor of Atad, they said, "This is a grievous mourning for the Egyptians." Therefore it was named Abel-mizraim, which is beyond the Jordan.

nasb@Genesis:44:13 @for his sons carried him to the land of Canaan and buried him in the cave of the field of Machpelah before Mamre, which Abraham had bought along with the field for a burial site from Ephron the Hittite.

nasb@Genesis:44:15 @When Joseph's brothers saw that their father was dead, they said, " What if Joseph bears a grudge against us and pays us back in full for all the wrong which we did to him!"

nasb@Genesis:44:16 @So they sent a message to Joseph, saying, "Your father charged before he died, saying,

nasb@Genesis:44:17 @'Thus you shall say to Joseph, "Please forgive, I beg you, the transgression of your brothers and their sin, for they did you wrong."' And now, please forgive the transgression of the servants of the God of your father." And Joseph wept when they spoke to him.

nasb@Genesis:44:18 @Then his brothers also came and fell down before him and said, "Behold, we are your servants."

nasb@Genesis:44:19 @But Joseph said to them, "Do not be afraid, for am I in God's place?

nasb@Exodus:2:14 @But he said, " Who made you a prince or a judge over us? Are you intending to kill me as you killed the Egyptian?" Then Moses was afraid and said, "Surely the matter has become known."

nasb@Exodus:3:2 @The angel of the LORD appeared to him in a blazing fire from the midst of a bush; and he looked, and behold, the bush was burning with fire, yet the bush was not consumed.

nasb@Exodus:14:20 @Then he made the boards for the tabernacle of acacia wood, standing upright.

nasb@Exodus:14:22 @There were two tenons for each board, fitted to one another; thus he did for all the boards of the tabernacle.

nasb@Exodus:17:23 @and the opening of the robe was at the top in the center, as the opening of a coat of mail, with a binding all around its opening, so that it would not be torn.

nasb@Leviticus:9:3 @'If your valuation is of the male from twenty years even to sixty years old, then your valuation shall be fifty shekels of silver, after the shekel of the sanctuary.

nasb@Leviticus:9:4 @'Or if it is a female, then your valuation shall be thirty shekels.

nasb@Leviticus:9:5 @'If it be from five years even to twenty years old then your valuation for the male shall be twenty shekels and for the female ten shekels.

nasb@Leviticus:9:6 @'But if they are from a month even up to five years old, then your valuation shall be five shekels of silver for the male, and for the female your valuation shall be three shekels of silver.

nasb@Leviticus:9:7 @'If they are from sixty years old and upward, if it is a male, then your valuation shall be fifteen shekels, and for the female ten shekels.

nasb@Leviticus:9:8 @'But if he is poorer than your valuation, then he shall be placed before the priest and the priest shall value him; according to the means of the one who vowed, the priest shall value him.

nasb@Leviticus:9:9 @'Now if it is an animal of the kind which men can present as an offering to the LORD, any such that one gives to the LORD shall be holy.

nasb@Leviticus:9:10 @' He shall not replace it or exchange it, a good for a bad, or a bad for a good; or if he does exchange animal for animal, then both it and its substitute shall become holy.

nasb@Leviticus:9:11 @'If, however, it is any unclean animal of the kind which men do not present as an offering to the LORD, then he shall place the animal before the priest.

nasb@Leviticus:9:12 @'The priest shall value it as either good or bad; as you, the priest, value it, so it shall be.

nasb@Leviticus:9:15 @'Yet if the one who consecrates it should wish to redeem his house, then he shall add one-fifth of your valuation price to it, so that it may be his.

nasb@Leviticus:9:16 @'Again, if a man consecrates to the LORD part of the fields of his own property, then your valuation shall be proportionate to the seed needed for it- a homer of barley seed at fifty shekels of silver.

nasb@Leviticus:9:18 @'If he consecrates his field after the jubilee, however, then the priest shall calculate the price for him proportionate to the years that are left until the year of jubilee; and it shall be deducted from your valuation.

nasb@Leviticus:9:20 @'Yet if he will not redeem the field, but has sold the field to another man, it may no longer be redeemed;

nasb@Leviticus:9:21 @and when it reverts in the jubilee, the field shall be holy to the LORD, like a field set apart; it shall be for the priest as his property.

nasb@Leviticus:9:24 @'In the year of jubilee the field shall return to the one from whom he bought it, to whom the possession of the land belongs.

nasb@Leviticus:9:25 @'Every valuation of yours, moreover, shall be after the shekel of the sanctuary. The shekel shall be twenty gerahs.

nasb@Leviticus:9:26 @' However, a firstborn among animals, which as a firstborn belongs to the LORD, no man may consecrate it; whether ox or sheep, it is the LORD'S.

nasb@Leviticus:9:27 @'But if it is among the unclean animals, then he shall redeem it according to your valuation and add to it one-fifth of it; and if it is not redeemed, then it shall be sold according to your valuation.

nasb@Leviticus:9:28 @'Nevertheless, anything which a man sets apart to the LORD out of all that he has, of man or animal or of the fields of his own property, shall not be sold or redeemed. Anything devoted to destruction is most holy to the LORD.

nasb@Leviticus:9:29 @'No one who may have been set apart among men shall be ransomed; he shall surely be put to death.

nasb@Leviticus:9:32 @'For every tenth part of herd or flock, whatever passes under the rod, the tenth one shall be holy to the LORD.

nasb@Leviticus:9:33 @' He is not to be concerned whether it is good or bad, nor shall he exchange it; or if he does exchange it, then both it and its substitute shall become holy. It shall not be redeemed.'"

nasb@Numbers:0:1 @Then the LORD 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 they had come out of the land of Egypt, saying,

nasb@Numbers:0:2" @ Take a census of all the congregation of the sons of Israel, by their families, by their fathers' households, according to the number of names, every male, head by head

nasb@Numbers:0:3 @from twenty years old and upward, whoever is able to go out to war in Israel, you and Aaron shall number them by their armies.

nasb@Numbers:0:4" @With you, moreover, there shall be a man of each tribe, each one head of his father's household.

nasb@Numbers:0:5" @These then are the names of the men who shall stand with you- of Reuben, Elizur the son of Shedeur;

nasb@Numbers:0:16" @These are they who were called of the congregation, the leaders of their fathers' tribes; they were the heads of divisions of Israel."

nasb@Numbers:0:17 @So Moses and Aaron took these men who had been designated by name,

nasb@Numbers:0:18 @and they assembled all the congregation together on the first of the second month. Then they registered by ancestry in their families, by their fathers' households, according to the number of names, from twenty years old and upward, head by head,

nasb@Numbers:0:19 @just as the LORD had commanded Moses. So he numbered them in the wilderness of Sinai.

nasb@Numbers:0:47 @The Levites, however, were not numbered among them by their fathers' tribe.

nasb@Numbers:0:48 @For the LORD had spoken to Moses, saying,

nasb@Numbers:0:49" @Only the tribe of Levi you shall not number, nor shall you take their census among the sons of Israel.

nasb@Numbers:0:50" @But you shall appoint the Levites over the tabernacle of the testimony, and over all its furnishings and over all that belongs to it. They shall carry the tabernacle and all its furnishings, and they shall take care of it; they shall also camp around the tabernacle.

nasb@Numbers:0:51" @ So when the tabernacle is to set out, the Levites shall take it down; and when the tabernacle encamps, the Levites shall set it up. But the layman who comes near shall be put to death.

nasb@Numbers:0:52" @ The sons of Israel shall camp, each man by his own camp, and each man by his own standard, according to their armies.

nasb@Numbers:0:53" @ But the Levites shall camp around the tabernacle of the testimony, so that there will be no wrath on the congregation of the sons of Israel. So the Levites shall keep charge of the tabernacle of the testimony."

nasb@Numbers:1:1 @Thus the sons of Israel did; according to all which the LORD had commanded Moses, so they did.

nasb@Numbers:1:2 @Now the LORD spoke to Moses and to Aaron, saying,

nasb@Numbers:1:2" @ The sons of Israel shall camp, each by his own standard, with the banners of their fathers' households; they shall camp around the tent of meeting at a distance.

nasb@Numbers:1:3" @Now those who camp on the east side toward the sunrise shall be of the standard of the camp of Judah, by their armies, and the leader of the sons of Judah- Nahshon the son of Amminadab,

nasb@Numbers:1:9" @The total of the numbered men of the camp of Judah- 186,400, by their armies. They shall set out first.

nasb@Numbers:1:31" @The total of the numbered men of the camp of Dan was 157,600. They shall set out last by their standards."

nasb@Numbers:1:32 @These are the numbered men of the sons of Israel by their fathers' households; the total of the numbered men of the camps by their armies, 603,550.

nasb@Numbers:1:33 @The Levites, however, were not numbered among the sons of Israel, just as the LORD had commanded Moses.

nasb@Numbers:1:34 @Thus the sons of Israel did; according to all that the LORD commanded Moses, so they camped by their standards, and so they set out, every one by his family according to his father's household.

nasb@Numbers:2:1 @Now these are the records of the generations of Aaron and Moses at the time when the LORD spoke with Moses on Mount Sinai.

nasb@Numbers:2:2 @These then are the names of the sons of Aaron- Nadab the firstborn, and Abihu, Eleazar and Ithamar.

nasb@Numbers:2:3 @These are the names of the sons of Aaron, the anointed priests, whom he ordained to serve as priests.

nasb@Numbers:2:4 @But Nadab and Abihu died before the LORD when they offered strange fire before the LORD in the wilderness of Sinai; and they had no children. So Eleazar and Ithamar served as priests in the lifetime of their father Aaron.

nasb@Numbers:2:5 @Then the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,

nasb@Numbers:2:6" @ Bring the tribe of Levi near and set them before Aaron the priest, that they may serve him.

nasb@Numbers:2:7" @They shall perform the duties for him and for the whole congregation before the tent of meeting, to do the service of the tabernacle.

nasb@Numbers:2:8" @They shall also keep all the furnishings of the tent of meeting, along with the duties of the sons of Israel, to do the service of the tabernacle.

nasb@Numbers:2:9" @You shall thus give the Levites to Aaron and to his sons; they are wholly given to him from among the sons of Israel.

nasb@Numbers:2:10" @So you shall appoint Aaron and his sons that they may keep their priesthood, but the layman who comes near shall be put to death."

nasb@Numbers:2:11 @Again the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,

nasb@Numbers:2:12" @Now, behold, I have taken the Levites from among the sons of Israel instead of every firstborn, the first issue of the womb among the sons of Israel. So the Levites shall be Mine.

nasb@Numbers:2:13" @For all the firstborn are Mine; on the day that I struck down all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, I sanctified to Myself all the firstborn in Israel, from man to beast. They shall be Mine; I am the LORD."

nasb@Numbers:2:14 @Then the LORD spoke to Moses in the wilderness of Sinai, saying,

nasb@Numbers:2:15" @ Number the sons of Levi by their fathers' households, by their families; every male from a month old and upward you shall number."

nasb@Numbers:2:16 @So Moses numbered them according to the word of the LORD, just as he had been commanded.

nasb@Numbers:2:17 @These then are the sons of Levi by their names- Gershon and Kohath and Merari.

nasb@Numbers:2:18 @These are the names of the sons of Gershon by their families- Libni and Shimei;

nasb@Numbers:2:19 @and the sons of Kohath by their families- Amram and Izhar, Hebron and Uzziel;

nasb@Numbers:2:20 @and the sons of Merari by their families- Mahli and Mushi. These are the families of the Levites according to their fathers' households.

nasb@Numbers:2:21 @Of Gershon was the family of the Libnites and the family of the Shimeites; these were the families of the Gershonites.

nasb@Numbers:2:22 @Their numbered men, in the numbering of every male from a month old and upward, even their numbered men were 7,500.

nasb@Numbers:2:23 @The families of the Gershonites were to camp behind the tabernacle westward,

nasb@Numbers:2:24 @and the leader of the fathers' households of the Gershonites was Eliasaph the son of Lael.

nasb@Numbers:2:25 @Now the duties of the sons of Gershon in the tent of meeting involved the tabernacle and the tent, its covering, and the screen for the doorway of the tent of meeting,

nasb@Numbers:2:26 @and the hangings of the court, and the screen for the doorway of the court which is around the tabernacle and the altar, and its cords, according to all the service concerning them.

nasb@Numbers:2:27 @Of Kohath was the family of the Amramites and the family of the Izharites and the family of the Hebronites and the family of the Uzzielites; these were the families of the Kohathites.

nasb@Numbers:2:28 @In the numbering of every male from a month old and upward, there were 8,600, performing the duties of the sanctuary.

nasb@Numbers:2:29 @The families of the sons of Kohath were to camp on the southward side of the tabernacle,

nasb@Numbers:2:30 @and the leader of the fathers' households of the Kohathite families was Elizaphan the son of Uzziel.

nasb@Numbers:2:31 @Now their duties involved the ark, the table, the lampstand, the altars, and the utensils of the sanctuary with which they minister, and the screen, and all the service concerning them;

nasb@Numbers:2:32 @and Eleazar the son of Aaron the priest was the chief of the leaders of Levi, and had the oversight of those who perform the duties of the sanctuary.

nasb@Numbers:2:33 @Of Merari was the family of the Mahlites and the family of the Mushites; these were the families of Merari.

nasb@Numbers:2:34 @Their numbered men in the numbering of every male from a month old and upward, were 6,200.

nasb@Numbers:2:35 @The leader of the fathers' households of the families of Merari was Zuriel the son of Abihail. They were to camp on the northward side of the tabernacle.

nasb@Numbers:2:36 @Now the appointed duties of the sons of Merari involved the frames of the tabernacle, its bars, its pillars, its sockets, all its equipment, and the service concerning them,

nasb@Numbers:2:37 @and the pillars around the court with their sockets and their pegs and their cords.

nasb@Numbers:2:38 @Now those who were to camp before the tabernacle eastward, before the tent of meeting toward the sunrise, are Moses and Aaron and his sons, performing the duties of the sanctuary for the obligation of the sons of Israel; but the layman coming near was to be put to death.

nasb@Numbers:2:39 @All the numbered men of the Levites, whom Moses and Aaron numbered at the command of the LORD by their families, every male from a month old and upward, were 22,000.

nasb@Numbers:2:40 @Then the LORD said to Moses, " Number every firstborn male of the sons of Israel from a month old and upward, and make a list of their names.

nasb@Numbers:2:41" @You shall take the Levites for Me, I am the LORD, instead of all the firstborn among the sons of Israel, and the cattle of the Levites instead of all the firstborn among the cattle of the sons of Israel."

nasb@Numbers:2:42 @So Moses numbered all the firstborn among the sons of Israel, just as the LORD had commanded him;

nasb@Numbers:2:43 @and all the firstborn males by the number of names from a month old and upward, for their numbered men were 22,273.

nasb@Numbers:2:44 @Then the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,

nasb@Numbers:2:45" @ Take the Levites instead of all the firstborn among the sons of Israel and the cattle of the Levites. And the Levites shall be Mine; I am the LORD.

nasb@Numbers:2:46" @ For the ransom of the 273 of the firstborn of the sons of Israel who are in excess beyond the Levites,

nasb@Numbers:2:47 @you shall take five shekels apiece, per head; you shall take them in terms of the shekel of the sanctuary ( the shekel is twenty gerahs),

nasb@Numbers:2:48 @and give the money, the ransom of those who are in excess among them, to Aaron and to his sons."

nasb@Numbers:2:49 @So Moses took the ransom money from those who were in excess, beyond those ransomed by the Levites;

nasb@Numbers:2:50 @from the firstborn of the sons of Israel he took the money in terms of the shekel of the sanctuary, 1,365.

nasb@Numbers:2:51 @Then Moses gave the ransom money to Aaron and to his sons, at the command of the LORD, just as the LORD had commanded Moses.

nasb@Numbers:2:4 @Then the LORD spoke to Moses and to Aaron, saying,

nasb@Numbers:2:2" @Take a census of the descendants of Kohath from among the sons of Levi, by their families, by their fathers' households,

nasb@Numbers:2:3 @from thirty years and upward, even to fifty years old, all who enter the service to do the work in the tent of meeting.

nasb@Numbers:2:4" @This is the work of the descendants of Kohath in the tent of meeting, concerning the most holy things.

nasb@Numbers:2:5" @When the camp sets out, Aaron and his sons shall go in and they shall take down the veil of the screen and cover the ark of the testimony with it;

nasb@Numbers:2:6 @and they shall lay a covering of porpoise skin on it, and shall spread over it a cloth of pure blue, and shall insert its poles.

nasb@Numbers:2:7" @Over the table of the bread of the Presence they shall also spread a cloth of blue and put on it the dishes and the pans and the sacrificial bowls and the jars for the drink offering, and the continual bread shall be on it.

nasb@Numbers:2:8" @They shall spread over them a cloth of scarlet material, and cover the same with a covering of porpoise skin, and they shall insert its poles.

nasb@Numbers:2:9" @Then they shall take a blue cloth and cover the lampstand for the light, along with its lamps and its snuffers, and its trays and all its oil vessels, by which they serve it;

nasb@Numbers:2:10 @and they shall put it and all its utensils in a covering of porpoise skin, and shall put it on the carrying bars.

nasb@Numbers:2:11" @Over the golden altar they shall spread a blue cloth and cover it with a covering of porpoise skin, and shall insert its poles;

nasb@Numbers:2:12 @and they shall take all the utensils of service, with which they serve in the sanctuary, and put them in a blue cloth and cover them with a covering of porpoise skin, and put them on the carrying bars.

nasb@Numbers:2:13" @Then they shall take away the ashes from the altar, and spread a purple cloth over it.

nasb@Numbers:2:14" @They shall also put on it all its utensils by which they serve in connection with it- the firepans, the forks and shovels and the basins, all the utensils of the altar; and they shall spread a cover of porpoise skin over it and insert its poles.

nasb@Numbers:2:15" @When Aaron and his sons have finished covering the holy objects and all the furnishings of the sanctuary, when the camp is to set out, after that the sons of Kohath shall come to carry them, so that they will not touch the holy objects and die. These are the things in the tent of meeting which the sons of Kohath are to carry.

nasb@Numbers:2:16" @The responsibility of Eleazar the son of Aaron the priest is the oil for the light and the fragrant incense and the continual grain offering and the anointing oil--the responsibility of all the tabernacle and of all that is in it, with the sanctuary and its furnishings."

nasb@Numbers:2:17 @Then the LORD spoke to Moses and to Aaron, saying,

nasb@Numbers:2:18" @Do not let the tribe of the families of the Kohathites be cut off from among the Levites.

nasb@Numbers:2:19" @But do this to them that they may live and not die when they approach the most holy objects- Aaron and his sons shall go in and assign each of them to his work and to his load;

nasb@Numbers:2:20 @but they shall not go in to see the holy objects even for a moment, or they will die."

nasb@Numbers:2:21 @Then the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,

nasb@Numbers:2:22" @Take a census of the sons of Gershon also, by their fathers' households, by their families;

nasb@Numbers:2:23 @from thirty years and upward to fifty years old, you shall number them; all who enter to perform the service to do the work in the tent of meeting.

nasb@Numbers:2:24" @This is the service of the families of the Gershonites, in serving and in carrying-

nasb@Numbers:2:25 @they shall carry the curtains of the tabernacle and the tent of meeting with its covering and the covering of porpoise skin that is on top of it, and the screen for the doorway of the tent of meeting,

nasb@Numbers:2:26 @and the hangings of the court, and the screen for the doorway of the gate of the court which is around the tabernacle and the altar, and their cords and all the equipment for their service; and all that is to be done, they shall perform.

nasb@Numbers:2:27" @All the service of the sons of the Gershonites, in all their loads and in all their work, shall be performed at the command of Aaron and his sons; and you shall assign to them as a duty all their loads.

nasb@Numbers:2:28" @This is the service of the families of the sons of the Gershonites in the tent of meeting, and their duties shall be under the direction of Ithamar the son of Aaron the priest.

nasb@Numbers:2:29" @As for the sons of Merari, you shall number them by their families, by their fathers' households;

nasb@Numbers:2:30 @from thirty years and upward even to fifty years old, you shall number them, everyone who enters the service to do the work of the tent of meeting.

nasb@Numbers:2:33" @This is the service of the families of the sons of Merari, according to all their service in the tent of meeting, under the direction of Ithamar the son of Aaron the priest."

nasb@Numbers:2:34 @So Moses and Aaron and the leaders of the congregation numbered the sons of the Kohathites by their families and by their fathers' households,

nasb@Numbers:2:49 @According to the commandment of the LORD through Moses, they were numbered, everyone by his serving or carrying; thus these were his numbered men, just as the LORD had commanded Moses.

nasb@Numbers:2:5 @Then the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,

nasb@Numbers:2:3" @You shall send away both male and female; you shall send them outside the camp so that they will not defile their camp where I dwell in their midst."

nasb@Numbers:2:4 @The sons of Israel did so and sent them outside the camp; just as the LORD had spoken to Moses, thus the sons of Israel did.

nasb@Numbers:2:5 @Then the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,

nasb@Numbers:2:8 @'But if the man has no relative to whom restitution may be made for the wrong, the restitution which is made for the wrong must go to the LORD for the priest, besides the ram of atonement, by which atonement is made for him.

nasb@Numbers:2:9 @' Also every contribution pertaining to all the holy gifts of the sons of Israel, which they offer to the priest, shall be his.

nasb@Numbers:2:10 @'So every man's holy gifts shall be his; whatever any man gives to the priest, it becomes his.'"

nasb@Numbers:2:11 @Then the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,

nasb@Numbers:2:14 @if a spirit of jealousy comes over him and he is jealous of his wife when she has defiled herself, or if a spirit of jealousy comes over him and he is jealous of his wife when she has not defiled herself,

nasb@Numbers:2:15 @the man shall then bring his wife to the priest, and shall bring as an offering for her one-tenth of an ephah of barley meal; he shall not pour oil on it nor put frankincense on it, for it is a grain offering of jealousy, a grain offering of memorial, a reminder of iniquity.

nasb@Numbers:2:16 @'Then the priest shall bring her near and have her stand before the LORD,

nasb@Numbers:2:31 @'Moreover, the man will be free from guilt, but that woman shall bear her guilt.'"

nasb@Numbers:2:6 @Again the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,

nasb@Numbers:2:7 @'He shall not make himself unclean for his father or for his mother, for his brother or for his sister, when they die, because his separation to God is on his head.

nasb@Numbers:2:21" @This is the law of the Nazirite who vows his offering to the LORD according to his separation, in addition to what else he can afford; according to his vow which he takes, so he shall do according to the law of his separation."

nasb@Numbers:2:22 @Then the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,

nasb@Numbers:2:27" @So they shall invoke My name on the sons of Israel, and I then will bless them."

nasb@Numbers:3:1 @Now on the day that Moses had finished setting up the tabernacle, he anointed it and consecrated it with all its furnishings and the altar and all its utensils; he anointed them and consecrated them also.

nasb@Numbers:3:2 @Then the leaders of Israel, the heads of their fathers' households, made an offering (they were the leaders of the tribes; they were the ones who were over the numbered men).

nasb@Numbers:3:3 @When they brought their offering before the LORD, six covered carts and twelve oxen, a cart for every two of the leaders and an ox for each one, then they presented them before the tabernacle.

nasb@Numbers:3:6 @So Moses took the carts and the oxen and gave them to the Levites.

nasb@Numbers:3:7 @Two carts and four oxen he gave to the sons of Gershon, according to their service,

nasb@Numbers:3:8 @and four carts and eight oxen he gave to the sons of Merari, according to their service, under the direction of Ithamar the son of Aaron the priest.

nasb@Numbers:3:9 @But he did not give any to the sons of Kohath because theirs was the service of the holy objects, which they carried on the shoulder.

nasb@Numbers:3:10 @The leaders offered the dedication offering for the altar when it was anointed, so the leaders offered their offering before the altar.

nasb@Numbers:3:11 @Then the LORD said to Moses, "Let them present their offering, one leader each day, for the dedication of the altar."

nasb@Numbers:3:12 @Now the one who presented his offering on the first day was Nahshon the son of Amminadab, of the tribe of Judah;

nasb@Numbers:3:7" @Thus you shall do to them, for their cleansing- sprinkle purifying water on them, and let them use a razor over their whole body and wash their clothes, and they will be clean.

nasb@Numbers:3:8" @Then let them take a bull with its grain offering, fine flour mixed with oil; and a second bull you shall take for a sin offering.

nasb@Numbers:3:9" @So you shall present the Levites before the tent of meeting. You shall also assemble the whole congregation of the sons of Israel,

nasb@Numbers:3:10 @and present the Levites before the LORD; and the sons of Israel shall lay their hands on the Levites.

nasb@Numbers:3:11" @Aaron then shall present the Levites before the LORD as a wave offering from the sons of Israel, that they may qualify to perform the service of the LORD.

nasb@Numbers:3:12" @Now the Levites shall lay their hands on the heads of the bulls; then offer the one for a sin offering and the other for a burnt offering to the LORD, to make atonement for the Levites.

nasb@Numbers:3:13" @You shall have the Levites stand before Aaron and before his sons so as to present them as a wave offering to the LORD.

nasb@Numbers:3:15" @Then after that the Levites may go in to serve the tent of meeting. But you shall cleanse them and present them as a wave offering;

nasb@Numbers:3:16 @for they are wholly given to Me from among the sons of Israel. I have taken them for Myself instead of every first issue of the womb, the firstborn of all the sons of Israel.

nasb@Numbers:3:17" @For every firstborn among the sons of Israel is Mine, among the men and among the animals; on the day that I struck down all the firstborn in the land of Egypt I sanctified them for Myself.

nasb@Numbers:3:18" @But I have taken the Levites instead of every firstborn among the sons of Israel.

nasb@Numbers:3:19" @ I have given the Levites as a gift to Aaron and to his sons from among the sons of Israel, to perform the service of the sons of Israel at the tent of meeting and to make atonement on behalf of the sons of Israel, so that there will be no plague among the sons of Israel by their coming near to the sanctuary."

nasb@Numbers:3:21 @The Levites, too, purified themselves from sin and washed their clothes; and Aaron presented them as a wave offering before the LORD. Aaron also made atonement for them to cleanse them.

nasb@Numbers:3:22 @Then after that the Levites went in to perform their service in the tent of meeting before Aaron and before his sons; just as the LORD had commanded Moses concerning the Levites, so they did to them.

nasb@Numbers:3:23 @Now the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,

nasb@Numbers:3:24" @This is what applies to the Levites- from twenty-five years old and upward they shall enter to perform service in the work of the tent of meeting.

nasb@Numbers:3:25" @But at the age of fifty years they shall retire from service in the work and not work any more.

nasb@Numbers:3:26" @They may, however, assist their brothers in the tent of meeting, to keep an obligation, but they themselves shall do no work. Thus you shall deal with the Levites concerning their obligations."

nasb@Numbers:3:9 @Thus the LORD spoke to Moses in the wilderness of Sinai, in the first month of the second year after they had come out of the land of Egypt, saying,

nasb@Numbers:3:2" @Now, let the sons of Israel observe the Passover at its appointed time.

nasb@Numbers:3:3" @On the fourteenth day of this month, at twilight, you shall observe it at its appointed time; you shall observe it according to all its statutes and according to all its ordinances."

nasb@Numbers:3:4 @So Moses told the sons of Israel to observe the Passover.

nasb@Numbers:3:5 @They observed the Passover in the first month, on the fourteenth day of the month, at twilight, in the wilderness of Sinai; according to all that the LORD had commanded Moses, so the sons of Israel did.

nasb@Numbers:3:6 @But there were some men who were unclean because of the dead person, so that they could not observe Passover on that day; so they came before Moses and Aaron on that day.

nasb@Numbers:3:7 @Those men said to him, "Though we are unclean because of the dead person, why are we restrained from presenting the offering of the LORD at its appointed time among the sons of Israel?"

nasb@Numbers:3:8 @Moses therefore said to them, " Wait, and I will listen to what the LORD will command concerning you."

nasb@Numbers:3:9 @Then the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,

nasb@Numbers:3:10" @Speak to the sons of Israel, saying, 'If any one of you or of your generations becomes unclean because of a dead person, or is on a distant journey, he may, however, observe the Passover to the LORD.

nasb@Numbers:3:11 @'In the second month on the fourteenth day at twilight, they shall observe it; they shall eat it with unleavened bread and bitter herbs.

nasb@Numbers:3:12 @'They shall leave none of it until morning, nor break a bone of it; according to all the statute of the Passover they shall observe it.

nasb@Numbers:3:13 @' But the man who is clean and is not on a journey, and yet neglects to observe the Passover, that person shall then be cut off from his people, for he did not present the offering of the LORD at its appointed time. That man will bear his sin.

nasb@Numbers:3:14 @' If an alien sojourns among you and observes the Passover to the LORD, according to the statute of the Passover and according to its ordinance, so he shall do; you shall have one statute, both for the alien and for the native of the land.'"

nasb@Numbers:3:15 @Now on the day that the tabernacle was erected the cloud covered the tabernacle, the tent of the testimony, and in the evening it was like the appearance of fire over the tabernacle, until morning.

nasb@Numbers:3:16 @So it was continuously; the cloud would cover it by day, and the appearance of fire by night.

nasb@Numbers:3:17 @Whenever the cloud was lifted from over the tent, afterward the sons of Israel would then set out; and in the place where the cloud settled down, there the sons of Israel would camp.

nasb@Numbers:3:18 @At the command of the LORD the sons of Israel would set out, and at the command of the LORD they would camp; as long as the cloud settled over the tabernacle, they remained camped.

nasb@Numbers:3:19 @Even when the cloud lingered over the tabernacle for many days, the sons of Israel would keep the LORD'S charge and not set out.

nasb@Numbers:3:20 @If sometimes the cloud remained a few days over the tabernacle, according to the command of the LORD they remained camped. Then according to the command of the LORD they set out.

nasb@Numbers:3:21 @If sometimes the cloud remained from evening until morning, when the cloud was lifted in the morning, they would move out; or if it remained in the daytime and at night, whenever the cloud was lifted, they would set out.

nasb@Numbers:3:22 @Whether it was two days or a month or a year that the cloud lingered over the tabernacle, staying above it, the sons of Israel remained camped and did not set out; but when it was lifted, they did set out.

nasb@Numbers:3:23 @At the command of the LORD they camped, and at the command of the LORD they set out; they kept the LORD'S charge, according to the command of the LORD through Moses.

nasb@Numbers:3:10 @The LORD spoke further to Moses, saying,

nasb@Numbers:3:2" @Make yourself two trumpets of silver, of hammered work you shall make them; and you shall use them for summoning the congregation and for having the camps set out.

nasb@Numbers:3:3" @ When both are blown, all the congregation shall gather themselves to you at the doorway of the tent of meeting.

nasb@Numbers:3:4" @Yet if only one is blown, then the leaders, the heads of the divisions of Israel, shall assemble before you.

nasb@Numbers:3:5" @But when you blow an alarm, the camps that are pitched on the east side shall set out.

nasb@Numbers:3:6" @When you blow an alarm the second time, the camps that are pitched on the south side shall set out; an alarm is to be blown for them to set out.

nasb@Numbers:3:7" @When convening the assembly, however, you shall blow without sounding an alarm.

nasb@Numbers:3:8" @ The priestly sons of Aaron, moreover, shall blow the trumpets; and this shall be for you a perpetual statute throughout your generations.

nasb@Numbers:3:9" @When you go to war in your land against the adversary who attacks you, then you shall sound an alarm with the trumpets, that you may be remembered before the LORD your God, and be saved from your enemies.

nasb@Numbers:3:10" @Also in the day of your gladness and in your appointed feasts, and on the first days of your months, you shall blow the trumpets over your burnt offerings, and over the sacrifices of your peace offerings; and they shall be as a reminder of you before your God. I am the LORD your God."

nasb@Numbers:3:11 @Now in the second year, in the second month, on the twentieth of the month, the cloud was lifted from over the tabernacle of the testimony;

nasb@Numbers:3:12 @and the sons of Israel set out on their journeys from the wilderness of Sinai. Then the cloud settled down in the wilderness of Paran.

nasb@Numbers:3:13 @So they moved out for the first time according to the commandment of the LORD through Moses.

nasb@Numbers:3:14 @The standard of the camp of the sons of Judah, according to their armies, set out first, with Nahshon the son of Amminadab, over its army,

nasb@Numbers:3:15 @and Nethanel the son of Zuar, over the tribal army of the sons of Issachar;

nasb@Numbers:3:16 @and Eliab the son of Helon over the tribal army of the sons of Zebulun.

nasb@Numbers:3:17 @Then the tabernacle was taken down; and the sons of Gershon and the sons of Merari, who were carrying the tabernacle, set out.

nasb@Numbers:3:18 @Next the standard of the camp of Reuben, according to their armies, set out with Elizur the son of Shedeur, over its army,

nasb@Numbers:3:19 @and Shelumiel the son of Zurishaddai over the tribal army of the sons of Simeon,

nasb@Numbers:3:20 @and Eliasaph the son of Deuel was over the tribal army of the sons of Gad.

nasb@Numbers:3:21 @Then the Kohathites set out, carrying the holy objects; and the tabernacle was set up before their arrival.

nasb@Numbers:3:22 @Next the standard of the camp of the sons of Ephraim, according to their armies, was set out, with Elishama the son of Ammihud over its army,

nasb@Numbers:3:23 @and Gamaliel the son of Pedahzur over the tribal army of the sons of Manasseh;

nasb@Numbers:3:24 @and Abidan the son of Gideoni over the tribal army of the sons of Benjamin.

nasb@Numbers:3:25 @Then the standard of the camp of the sons of Dan, according to their armies, which formed the rear guard for all the camps, set out, with Ahiezer the son of Ammishaddai over its army,

nasb@Numbers:3:26 @and Pagiel the son of Ochran over the tribal army of the sons of Asher;

nasb@Numbers:3:27 @and Ahira the son of Enan over the tribal army of the sons of Naphtali.

nasb@Numbers:3:28 @This was the order of march of the sons of Israel by their armies as they set out.

nasb@Numbers:3:29 @Then Moses said to Hobab the son of Reuel the Midianite, Moses' father-in-law, "We are setting out to the place of which the LORD said, ' I will give it to you'; come with us and we will do you good, for the LORD has promised good concerning Israel."

nasb@Numbers:3:30 @But he said to him, " I will not come, but rather will go to my own land and relatives."

nasb@Numbers:3:31 @Then he said, "Please do not leave us, inasmuch as you know where we should camp in the wilderness, and you will be as eyes for us.

nasb@Numbers:3:32" @So it will be, if you go with us, that whatever good the LORD does for us, we will do for you."

nasb@Numbers:3:33 @Thus they set out from the mount of the LORD three days' journey, with the ark of the covenant of the LORD journeying in front of them for the three days, to seek out a resting place for them.

nasb@Numbers:3:34 @The cloud of the LORD was over them by day when they set out from the camp.

nasb@Numbers:3:35 @Then it came about when the ark set out that Moses said, " Rise up, O LORD! And let Your enemies be scattered, And let those who hate You flee before You."

nasb@Numbers:3:36 @When it came to rest, he said, " Return, O LORD, To the myriad thousands of Israel."

nasb@Numbers:4:1 @Now the people became like those who complain of adversity in the hearing of the LORD; and when the LORD heard it, His anger was kindled, and the fire of the LORD burned among them and consumed some of the outskirts of the camp.

nasb@Numbers:4:2 @The people therefore cried out to Moses, and Moses prayed to the LORD and the fire died out.

nasb@Numbers:4:3 @So the name of that place was called Taberah, because the fire of the LORD burned among them.

nasb@Numbers:4:4 @The rabble who were among them had greedy desires; and also the sons of Israel wept again and said, " Who will give us meat to eat?

nasb@Numbers:4:5" @ We remember the fish which we used to eat free in Egypt, the cucumbers and the melons and the leeks and the onions and the garlic,

nasb@Numbers:4:6 @but now our appetite is gone. There is nothing at all to look at except this manna."

nasb@Numbers:4:7 @Now the manna was like coriander seed, and its appearance like that of bdellium.

nasb@Numbers:4:8 @The people would go about and gather it and grind it between two millstones or beat it in the mortar, and boil it in the pot and make cakes with it; and its taste was as the taste of cakes baked with oil.

nasb@Numbers:4:9 @When the dew fell on the camp at night, the manna would fall with it.

nasb@Numbers:4:10 @Now Moses heard the people weeping throughout their families, each man at the doorway of his tent; and the anger of the LORD was kindled greatly, and Moses was displeased.

nasb@Numbers:4:11 @So Moses said to the LORD, "Why have You been so hard on Your servant? And why have I not found favor in Your sight, that You have laid the burden of all this people on me?

nasb@Numbers:4:12" @Was it I who conceived all this people? Was it I who brought them forth, that You should say to me, 'Carry them in your bosom as a nurse carries a nursing infant, to the land which You swore to their fathers'?

nasb@Numbers:4:13" @Where am I to get meat to give to all this people? For they weep before me, saying, 'Give us meat that we may eat!'

nasb@Numbers:4:14" @ I alone am not able to carry all this people, because it is too burdensome for me.

nasb@Numbers:4:15" @ So if You are going to deal thus with me, please kill me at once, if I have found favor in Your sight, and do not let me see my wretchedness."

nasb@Numbers:4:16 @The LORD therefore said to Moses, "Gather for Me seventy men from the elders of Israel, whom you know to be the elders of the people and their officers and bring them to the tent of meeting, and let them take their stand there with you.

nasb@Numbers:4:17" @ Then I will come down and speak with you there, and I will take of the Spirit who is upon you, and will put Him upon them; and they shall bear the burden of the people with you, so that you will not bear it all alone.

nasb@Numbers:4:18" @Say to the people, ' Consecrate yourselves for tomorrow, and you shall eat meat; for you have wept in the ears of the LORD, saying, "Oh that someone would give us meat to eat! For we were well-off in Egypt." Therefore the LORD will give you meat and you shall eat.

nasb@Numbers:4:19 @'You shall eat, not one day, nor two days, nor five days, nor ten days, nor twenty days,

nasb@Numbers:4:20 @but a whole month, until it comes out of your nostrils and becomes loathsome to you; because you have rejected the LORD who is among you and have wept before Him, saying, "Why did we ever leave Egypt?"'"

nasb@Numbers:4:21 @But Moses said, "The people, among whom I am, are 600,000 on foot; yet You have said, 'I will give them meat, so that they may eat for a whole month.'

nasb@Numbers:4:22" @Should flocks and herds be slaughtered for them, to be sufficient for them? Or should all the fish of the sea be gathered together for them, to be sufficient for them?"

nasb@Numbers:4:23 @The LORD said to Moses, "Is the LORD'S power limited? Now you shall see whether My word will come true for you or not."

nasb@Numbers:4:24 @So Moses went out and told the people the words of the LORD. Also, he gathered seventy men of the elders of the people, and stationed them around the tent.

nasb@Numbers:4:25 @Then the LORD came down in the cloud and spoke to him; and He took of the Spirit who was upon him and placed Him upon the seventy elders. And when the Spirit rested upon them, they prophesied. But they did not do it again.

nasb@Numbers:4:26 @But two men had remained in the camp; the name of one was Eldad and the name of the other Medad. And the Spirit rested upon them (now they were among those who had been registered, but had not gone out to the tent), and they prophesied in the camp.

nasb@Numbers:4:27 @So a young man ran and told Moses and said, "Eldad and Medad are prophesying in the camp."

nasb@Numbers:4:28 @Then Joshua the son of Nun, the attendant of Moses from his youth, said, " Moses, my lord, restrain them."

nasb@Numbers:4:29 @But Moses said to him, "Are you jealous for my sake? Would that all the LORD'S people were prophets, that the LORD would put His Spirit upon them!"

nasb@Numbers:4:30 @Then Moses returned to the camp, both he and the elders of Israel.

nasb@Numbers:4:31 @Now there went forth a wind from the LORD and it brought quail from the sea, and let them fall beside the camp, about a day's journey on this side and a day's journey on the other side, all around the camp and about two cubits deep on the surface of the ground.

nasb@Numbers:4:32 @The people spent all day and all night and all the next day, and gathered the quail (he who gathered least gathered ten homers) and they spread them out for themselves all around the camp.

nasb@Numbers:4:33 @While the meat was still between their teeth, before it was chewed, the anger of the LORD was kindled against the people, and the LORD struck the people with a very severe plague.

nasb@Numbers:4:34 @So the name of that place was called Kibroth-hattaavah, because there they buried the people who had been greedy.

nasb@Numbers:4:35 @From Kibroth-hattaavah the people set out for Hazeroth, and they remained at Hazeroth.

nasb@Numbers:5:1 @Then Miriam and Aaron spoke against Moses because of the Cushite woman whom he had married (for he had married a Cushite woman);

nasb@Numbers:5:2 @and they said, "Has the LORD indeed spoken only through Moses? Has He not spoken through us as well?" And the LORD heard it.

nasb@Numbers:5:3 @(Now the man Moses was very humble, more than any man who was on the face of the earth.)

nasb@Numbers:5:4 @Suddenly the LORD said to Moses and Aaron and to Miriam, "You three come out to the tent of meeting." So the three of them came out.

nasb@Numbers:5:5 @Then the LORD came down in a pillar of cloud and stood at the doorway of the tent, and He called Aaron and Miriam. When they had both come forward,

nasb@Numbers:5:6 @He said, "Hear now My words- If there is a prophet among you, I, the LORD, shall make Myself known to him in a vision. I shall speak with him in a dream.

nasb@Numbers:5:7" @Not so, with My servant Moses, He is faithful in all My household;

nasb@Numbers:5:8 @With him I speak mouth to mouth, Even openly, and not in dark sayings, And he beholds the form of the LORD. Why then were you not afraid To speak against My servant, against Moses?"

nasb@Numbers:5:9 @So the anger of the LORD burned against them and He departed.

nasb@Numbers:5:10 @But when the cloud had withdrawn from over the tent, behold, Miriam was leprous, as white as snow. As Aaron turned toward Miriam, behold, she was leprous.

nasb@Numbers:5:11 @Then Aaron said to Moses, "Oh, my lord, I beg you, do not account this sin to us, in which we have acted foolishly and in which we have sinned.

nasb@Numbers:5:12" @Oh, do not let her be like one dead, whose flesh is half eaten away when he comes from his mother's womb!"

nasb@Numbers:5:13 @Moses cried out to the LORD, saying, "O God, heal her, I pray!"

nasb@Numbers:5:14 @But the LORD said to Moses, "If her father had but spit in her face, would she not bear her shame for seven days? Let her be shut up for seven days outside the camp, and afterward she may be received again."

nasb@Numbers:5:15 @So Miriam was shut up outside the camp for seven days, and the people did not move on until Miriam was received again.

nasb@Numbers:5:16 @Afterward, however, the people moved out from Hazeroth and camped in the wilderness of Paran.

nasb@Numbers:5:13 @Then the LORD spoke to Moses saying,

nasb@Numbers:5:2" @ Send out for yourself men so that they may spy out the land of Canaan, which I am going to give to the sons of Israel; you shall send a man from each of their fathers' tribes, every one a leader among them."

nasb@Numbers:5:3 @So Moses sent them from the wilderness of Paran at the command of the LORD, all of them men who were heads of the sons of Israel.

nasb@Numbers:5:4 @These then were their names- from the tribe of Reuben, Shammua the son of Zaccur;

nasb@Numbers:5:5 @from the tribe of Simeon, Shaphat the son of Hori;

nasb@Numbers:5:6 @from the tribe of Judah, Caleb the son of Jephunneh;

nasb@Numbers:5:7 @from the tribe of Issachar, Igal the son of Joseph;

nasb@Numbers:5:8 @from the tribe of Ephraim, Hoshea the son of Nun;

nasb@Numbers:5:9 @from the tribe of Benjamin, Palti the son of Raphu;

nasb@Numbers:5:10 @from the tribe of Zebulun, Gaddiel the son of Sodi;

nasb@Numbers:5:11 @from the tribe of Joseph, from the tribe of Manasseh, Gaddi the son of Susi;

nasb@Numbers:5:12 @from the tribe of Dan, Ammiel the son of Gemalli;

nasb@Numbers:5:13 @from the tribe of Asher, Sethur the son of Michael;

nasb@Numbers:5:14 @from the tribe of Naphtali, Nahbi the son of Vophsi;

nasb@Numbers:5:15 @from the tribe of Gad, Geuel the son of Machi.

nasb@Numbers:5:16 @These are the names of the men whom Moses sent to spy out the land; but Moses called Hoshea the son of Nun, Joshua.

nasb@Numbers:5:17 @When Moses sent them to spy out the land of Canaan, he said to them, "Go up there into the Negev; then go up into the hill country.

nasb@Numbers:5:18" @See what the land is like, and whether the people who live in it are strong or weak, whether they are few or many.

nasb@Numbers:5:19" @How is the land in which they live, is it good or bad? And how are the cities in which they live, are they like open camps or with fortifications?

nasb@Numbers:5:20" @ How is the land, is it fat or lean? Are there trees in it or not? Make an effort then to get some of the fruit of the land." Now the time was the time of the first ripe grapes.

nasb@Numbers:5:21 @So they went up and spied out the land from the wilderness of Zin as far as Rehob, at Lebo-hamath.

nasb@Numbers:5:22 @When they had gone up into the Negev, they came to Hebron where Ahiman, Sheshai and Talmai, the descendants of Anak were. (Now Hebron was built seven years before Zoan in Egypt.)

nasb@Numbers:5:23 @Then they came to the valley of Eshcol and from there cut down a branch with a single cluster of grapes; and they carried it on a pole between two men, with some of the pomegranates and the figs.

nasb@Numbers:5:24 @That place was called the valley of Eshcol, because of the cluster which the sons of Israel cut down from there.

nasb@Numbers:5:25 @When they returned from spying out the land, at the end of forty days,

nasb@Numbers:5:26 @they proceeded to come to Moses and Aaron and to all the congregation of the sons of Israel in the wilderness of Paran, at Kadesh; and they brought back word to them and to all the congregation and showed them the fruit of the land.

nasb@Numbers:5:27 @Thus they told him, and said, "We went in to the land where you sent us; and it certainly does flow with milk and honey, and this is its fruit.

nasb@Numbers:5:28" @Nevertheless, the people who live in the land are strong, and the cities are fortified and very large; and moreover, we saw the descendants of Anak there.

nasb@Numbers:5:29" @Amalek is living in the land of the Negev and the Hittites and the Jebusites and the Amorites are living in the hill country, and the Canaanites are living by the sea and by the side of the Jordan."

nasb@Numbers:5:30 @Then Caleb quieted the people before Moses and said, "We should by all means go up and take possession of it, for we will surely overcome it."

nasb@Numbers:5:31 @But the men who had gone up with him said, " We are not able to go up against the people, for they are too strong for us."

nasb@Numbers:5:32 @So they gave out to the sons of Israel a bad report of the land which they had spied out, saying, "The land through which we have gone, in spying it out, is a land that devours its inhabitants; and all the people whom we saw in it are men of great size.

nasb@Numbers:5:33" @There also we saw the Nephilim (the sons of Anak are part of the Nephilim); and we became like grasshoppers in our own sight, and so we were in their sight."

nasb@Numbers:6:1 @Then all the congregation lifted up their voices and cried, and the people wept that night.

nasb@Numbers:6:2 @All the sons of Israel grumbled against Moses and Aaron; and the whole congregation said to them, " Would that we had died in the land of Egypt! Or would that we had died in this wilderness!

nasb@Numbers:6:3" @Why is the LORD bringing us into this land, to fall by the sword? Our wives and our little ones will become plunder; would it not be better for us to return to Egypt?"

nasb@Numbers:6:4 @So they said to one another, " Let us appoint a leader and return to Egypt."

nasb@Numbers:6:5 @Then Moses and Aaron fell on their faces in the presence of all the assembly of the congregation of the sons of Israel.

nasb@Numbers:6:6 @Joshua the son of Nun and Caleb the son of Jephunneh, of those who had spied out the land, tore their clothes;

nasb@Numbers:6:7 @and they spoke to all the congregation of the sons of Israel, saying, " The land which we passed through to spy out is an exceedingly good land.

nasb@Numbers:6:8" @ If the LORD is pleased with us, then He will bring us into this land and give it to us-- a land which flows with milk and honey.

nasb@Numbers:6:9" @Only do not rebel against the LORD; and do not fear the people of the land, for they will be our prey. Their protection has been removed from them, and the LORD is with us; do not fear them."

nasb@Numbers:6:10 @But all the congregation said to stone them with stones. Then the glory of the LORD appeared in the tent of meeting to all the sons of Israel.

nasb@Numbers:6:11 @The LORD said to Moses, "How long will this people spurn Me? And how long will they not believe in Me, despite all the signs which I have performed in their midst?

nasb@Numbers:6:12" @I will smite them with pestilence and dispossess them, and I will make you into a nation greater and mightier than they."

nasb@Numbers:6:13 @But Moses said to the LORD, "Then the Egyptians will hear of it, for by Your strength You brought up this people from their midst,

nasb@Numbers:6:14 @and they will tell it to the inhabitants of this land. They have heard that You, O LORD, are in the midst of this people, for You, O LORD, are seen eye to eye, while Your cloud stands over them; and You go before them in a pillar of cloud by day and in a pillar of fire by night.

nasb@Numbers:6:15" @Now if You slay this people as one man, then the nations who have heard of Your fame will say,

nasb@Numbers:6:16 @'Because the LORD could not bring this people into the land which He promised them by oath, therefore He slaughtered them in the wilderness.'

nasb@Numbers:6:17" @But now, I pray, let the power of the Lord be great, just as You have declared,

nasb@Numbers:6:18 @' The LORD is slow to anger and abundant in lovingkindness, forgiving iniquity and transgression; but He will by no means clear the guilty, visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children to the third and the fourth generations.'

nasb@Numbers:6:19" @ Pardon, I pray, the iniquity of this people according to the greatness of Your lovingkindness, just as You also have forgiven this people, from Egypt even until now."

nasb@Numbers:6:20 @So the LORD said, " I have pardoned them according to your word;

nasb@Numbers:6:21 @but indeed, as I live, all the earth will be filled with the glory of the LORD.

nasb@Numbers:6:22" @Surely all the men who have seen My glory and My signs which I performed in Egypt and in the wilderness, yet have put Me to the test these ten times and have not listened to My voice,

nasb@Numbers:6:23 @shall by no means see the land which I swore to their fathers, nor shall any of those who spurned Me see it.

nasb@Numbers:6:24" @But My servant Caleb, because he has had a different spirit and has followed Me fully, I will bring into the land which he entered, and his descendants shall take possession of it.

nasb@Numbers:6:25" @ Now the Amalekites and the Canaanites live in the valleys; turn tomorrow and set out to the wilderness by the way of the Red Sea."

nasb@Numbers:6:26 @The LORD spoke to Moses and Aaron, saying,

nasb@Numbers:6:27" @How long shall I bear with this evil congregation who are grumbling against Me? I have heard the complaints of the sons of Israel, which they are making against Me.

nasb@Numbers:6:28" @Say to them, ' As I live,' says the LORD, 'just as you have spoken in My hearing, so I will surely do to you;

nasb@Numbers:6:29 @your corpses will fall in this wilderness, even all your numbered men, according to your complete number from twenty years old and upward, who have grumbled against Me.

nasb@Numbers:6:30 @'Surely you shall not come into the land in which I swore to settle you, except Caleb the son of Jephunneh and Joshua the son of Nun.

nasb@Numbers:6:31 @' Your children, however, whom you said would become a prey--I will bring them in, and they will know the land which you have rejected.

nasb@Numbers:6:32 @' But as for you, your corpses will fall in this wilderness.

nasb@Numbers:6:33 @'Your sons shall be shepherds for forty years in the wilderness, and they will suffer for your unfaithfulness, until your corpses lie in the wilderness.

nasb@Numbers:6:34 @'According to the number of days which you spied out the land, forty days, for every day you shall bear your guilt a year, even forty years, and you will know My opposition.

nasb@Numbers:6:35 @' I, the LORD, have spoken, surely this I will do to all this evil congregation who are gathered together against Me. In this wilderness they shall be destroyed, and there they will die.'"

nasb@Numbers:6:36 @As for the men whom Moses sent to spy out the land and who returned and made all the congregation grumble against him by bringing out a bad report concerning the land,

nasb@Numbers:6:37 @even those men who brought out the very bad report of the land died by a plague before the LORD.

nasb@Numbers:6:38 @But Joshua the son of Nun and Caleb the son of Jephunneh remained alive out of those men who went to spy out the land.

nasb@Numbers:6:39 @When Moses spoke these words to all the sons of Israel, the people mourned greatly.

nasb@Numbers:6:40 @In the morning, however, they rose up early and went up to the ridge of the hill country, saying, " Here we are; we have indeed sinned, but we will go up to the place which the LORD has promised."

nasb@Numbers:6:41 @But Moses said, " Why then are you transgressing the commandment of the LORD, when it will not succeed?

nasb@Numbers:6:42" @ Do not go up, or you will be struck down before your enemies, for the LORD is not among you.

nasb@Numbers:6:43" @For the Amalekites and the Canaanites will be there in front of you, and you will fall by the sword, inasmuch as you have turned back from following the LORD. And the LORD will not be with you."

nasb@Numbers:6:44 @But they went up heedlessly to the ridge of the hill country; neither the ark of the covenant of the LORD nor Moses left the camp.

nasb@Numbers:6:45 @Then the Amalekites and the Canaanites who lived in that hill country came down, and struck them and beat them down as far as Hormah.

nasb@Numbers:6:15 @Now the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,

nasb@Numbers:6:2" @ Speak to the sons of Israel and say to them, 'When you enter the land where you are to live, which I am giving you,

nasb@Numbers:6:3 @then make an offering by fire to the LORD, a burnt offering or a sacrifice to fulfill a special vow, or as a freewill offering or in your appointed times, to make a soothing aroma to the LORD, from the herd or from the flock.

nasb@Numbers:6:4 @' The one who presents his offering shall present to the LORD a grain offering of one-tenth of an ephah of fine flour mixed with one-fourth of a hin of oil,

nasb@Numbers:6:32 @Now while the sons of Israel were in the wilderness, they found a man gathering wood on the sabbath day.

nasb@Numbers:6:33 @Those who found him gathering wood brought him to Moses and Aaron and to all the congregation;

nasb@Numbers:6:34 @and they put him in custody because it had not been declared what should be done to him.

nasb@Numbers:6:35 @Then the LORD said to Moses, "The man shall surely be put to death; all the congregation shall stone him with stones outside the camp."

nasb@Numbers:6:36 @So all the congregation brought him outside the camp and stoned him to death with stones, just as the LORD had commanded Moses.

nasb@Numbers:6:37 @The LORD also spoke to Moses, saying,

nasb@Numbers:6:41" @I am the LORD your God who brought you out from the land of Egypt to be your God; I am the LORD your God."

nasb@Numbers:7:1 @Now Korah the son of Izhar, the son of Kohath, the son of Levi, with Dathan and Abiram, the sons of Eliab, and On the son of Peleth, sons of Reuben, took action,

nasb@Numbers:7:2 @and they rose up before Moses, together with some of the sons of Israel, two hundred and fifty leaders of the congregation, chosen in the assembly, men of renown.

nasb@Numbers:7:3 @They assembled together against Moses and Aaron, and said to them, " You have gone far enough, for all the congregation are holy, every one of them, and the LORD is in their midst; so why do you exalt yourselves above the assembly of the LORD?"

nasb@Numbers:7:4 @When Moses heard this, he fell on his face;

nasb@Numbers:7:5 @and he spoke to Korah and all his company, saying, "Tomorrow morning the LORD will show who is His, and who is holy, and will bring him near to Himself; even the one whom He will choose, He will bring near to Himself.

nasb@Numbers:7:6" @Do this- take censers for yourselves, Korah and all your company,

nasb@Numbers:7:7 @and put fire in them, and lay incense upon them in the presence of the LORD tomorrow; and the man whom the LORD chooses shall be the one who is holy. You have gone far enough, you sons of Levi!"

nasb@Numbers:7:8 @Then Moses said to Korah, "Hear now, you sons of Levi,

nasb@Numbers:7:9 @is it not enough for you that the God of Israel has separated you from the rest of the congregation of Israel, to bring you near to Himself, to do the service of the tabernacle of the LORD, and to stand before the congregation to minister to them;

nasb@Numbers:7:10 @and that He has brought you near, Korah, and all your brothers, sons of Levi, with you? And are you seeking for the priesthood also?

nasb@Numbers:7:11" @Therefore you and all your company are gathered together against the LORD; but as for Aaron, who is he that you grumble against him?"

nasb@Numbers:7:12 @Then Moses sent a summons to Dathan and Abiram, the sons of Eliab; but they said, "We will not come up.

nasb@Numbers:7:13" @Is it not enough that you have brought us up out of a land flowing with milk and honey to have us die in the wilderness, but you would also lord it over us?

nasb@Numbers:7:14" @Indeed, you have not brought us into a land flowing with milk and honey, nor have you given us an inheritance of fields and vineyards. Would you put out the eyes of these men? We will not come up!"

nasb@Numbers:7:15 @Then Moses became very angry and said to the LORD, " Do not regard their offering! I have not taken a single donkey from them, nor have I done harm to any of them."

nasb@Numbers:7:16 @Moses said to Korah, "You and all your company be present before the LORD tomorrow, both you and they along with Aaron.

nasb@Numbers:7:17" @Each of you take his firepan and put incense on it, and each of you bring his censer before the LORD, two hundred and fifty firepans; also you and Aaron shall each bring his firepan."

nasb@Numbers:7:18 @So they each took his own censer and put fire on it, and laid incense on it; and they stood at the doorway of the tent of meeting, with Moses and Aaron.

nasb@Numbers:7:19 @Thus Korah assembled all the congregation against them at the doorway of the tent of meeting. And the glory of the LORD appeared to all the congregation.

nasb@Numbers:7:20 @Then the LORD spoke to Moses and Aaron, saying,

nasb@Numbers:7:21" @ Separate yourselves from among this congregation, that I may consume them instantly."

nasb@Numbers:7:22 @But they fell on their faces and said, "O God, God of the spirits of all flesh, when one man sins, will You be angry with the entire congregation?"

nasb@Numbers:7:23 @Then the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,

nasb@Numbers:7:24" @Speak to the congregation, saying, ' Get back from around the dwellings of Korah, Dathan and Abiram.'"

nasb@Numbers:7:25 @Then Moses arose and went to Dathan and Abiram, with the elders of Israel following him,

nasb@Numbers:7:26 @and he spoke to the congregation, saying, " Depart now from the tents of these wicked men, and touch nothing that belongs to them, or you will be swept away in all their sin."

nasb@Numbers:7:27 @So they got back from around the dwellings of Korah, Dathan and Abiram; and Dathan and Abiram came out and stood at the doorway of their tents, along with their wives and their sons and their little ones.

nasb@Numbers:7:28 @Moses said, "By this you shall know that the LORD has sent me to do all these deeds; for this is not my doing.

nasb@Numbers:7:29" @If these men die the death of all men or if they suffer the fate of all men, then the LORD has not sent me.

nasb@Numbers:7:30" @But if the LORD brings about an entirely new thing and the ground opens its mouth and swallows them up with all that is theirs, and they descend alive into Sheol, then you will understand that these men have spurned the LORD."

nasb@Numbers:7:31 @As he finished speaking all these words, the ground that was under them split open;

nasb@Numbers:7:32 @and the earth opened its mouth and swallowed them up, and their households, and all the men who belonged to Korah with their possessions.

nasb@Numbers:7:33 @So they and all that belonged to them went down alive to Sheol; and the earth closed over them, and they perished from the midst of the assembly.

nasb@Numbers:7:34 @All Israel who were around them fled at their outcry, for they said, "The earth may swallow us up!"

nasb@Numbers:7:35 @Fire also came forth from the LORD and consumed the two hundred and fifty men who were offering the incense.

nasb@Numbers:7:36 @Then the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,

nasb@Numbers:7:37" @Say to Eleazar, the son of Aaron the priest, that he shall take up the censers out of the midst of the blaze, for they are holy; and you scatter the burning coals abroad.

nasb@Numbers:7:38" @As for the censers of these men who have sinned at the cost of their lives, let them be made into hammered sheets for a plating of the altar, since they did present them before the LORD and they are holy; and they shall be for a sign to the sons of Israel."

nasb@Numbers:7:39 @So Eleazar the priest took the bronze censers which the men who were burned had offered, and they hammered them out as a plating for the altar,

nasb@Numbers:7:40 @as a reminder to the sons of Israel that no layman who is not of the descendants of Aaron should come near to burn incense before the LORD; so that he will not become like Korah and his company--just as the LORD had spoken to him through Moses.

nasb@Numbers:7:41 @But on the next day all the congregation of the sons of Israel grumbled against Moses and Aaron, saying, "You are the ones who have caused the death of the LORD'S people."

nasb@Numbers:7:42 @It came about, however, when the congregation had assembled against Moses and Aaron, that they turned toward the tent of meeting, and behold, the cloud covered it and the glory of the LORD appeared.

nasb@Numbers:7:43 @Then Moses and Aaron came to the front of the tent of meeting,

nasb@Numbers:7:44 @and the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,

nasb@Numbers:7:45" @ Get away from among this congregation, that I may consume them instantly." Then they fell on their faces.

nasb@Numbers:7:46 @Moses said to Aaron, "Take your censer and put in it fire from the altar, and lay incense on it; then bring it quickly to the congregation and make atonement for them, for wrath has gone forth from the LORD, the plague has begun!"

nasb@Numbers:7:47 @Then Aaron took it as Moses had spoken, and ran into the midst of the assembly, for behold, the plague had begun among the people. So he put on the incense and made atonement for the people.

nasb@Numbers:7:48 @He took his stand between the dead and the living, so that the plague was checked.

nasb@Numbers:7:49 @But those who died by the plague were 14,700, besides those who died on account of Korah.

nasb@Numbers:7:50 @Then Aaron returned to Moses at the doorway of the tent of meeting, for the plague had been checked.

nasb@Numbers:7:17 @Then the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,

nasb@Numbers:7:2" @Speak to the sons of Israel, and get from them a rod for each father's household- twelve rods, from all their leaders according to their fathers' households. You shall write each name on his rod,

nasb@Numbers:7:3 @and write Aaron's name on the rod of Levi; for there is one rod for the head of each of their fathers' households.

nasb@Numbers:7:4" @You shall then deposit them in the tent of meeting in front of the testimony, where I meet with you.

nasb@Numbers:7:5" @It will come about that the rod of the man whom I choose will sprout. Thus I will lessen from upon Myself the grumblings of the sons of Israel, who are grumbling against you."

nasb@Numbers:7:6 @Moses therefore spoke to the sons of Israel, and all their leaders gave him a rod apiece, for each leader according to their fathers' households, twelve rods, with the rod of Aaron among their rods.

nasb@Numbers:7:7 @So Moses deposited the rods before the LORD in the tent of the testimony.

nasb@Numbers:7:8 @Now on the next day Moses went into the tent of the testimony; and behold, the rod of Aaron for the house of Levi had sprouted and put forth buds and produced blossoms, and it bore ripe almonds.

nasb@Numbers:7:9 @Moses then brought out all the rods from the presence of the LORD to all the sons of Israel; and they looked, and each man took his rod.

nasb@Numbers:7:10 @But the LORD said to Moses, "Put back the rod of Aaron before the testimony to be kept as a sign against the rebels, that you may put an end to their grumblings against Me, so that they will not die."

nasb@Numbers:7:11 @Thus Moses did; just as the LORD had commanded him, so he did.

nasb@Numbers:7:12 @Then the sons of Israel spoke to Moses, saying, " Behold, we perish, we are dying, we are all dying!

nasb@Numbers:7:13" @ Everyone who comes near, who comes near to the tabernacle of the LORD, must die. Are we to perish completelyNULL"

nasb@Numbers:7:18 @So the LORD said to Aaron, "You and your sons and your father's household with you shall bear the guilt in connection with the sanctuary, and you and your sons with you shall bear the guilt in connection with your priesthood.

nasb@Numbers:7:2" @But bring with you also your brothers, the tribe of Levi, the tribe of your father, that they may be joined with you and serve you, while you and your sons with you are before the tent of the testimony.

nasb@Numbers:7:3" @And they shall thus attend to your obligation and the obligation of all the tent, but they shall not come near to the furnishings of the sanctuary and the altar, or both they and you will die.

nasb@Numbers:7:4" @They shall be joined with you and attend to the obligations of the tent of meeting, for all the service of the tent; but an outsider may not come near you.

nasb@Numbers:7:5" @So you shall attend to the obligations of the sanctuary and the obligations of the altar, so that there will no longer be wrath on the sons of Israel.

nasb@Numbers:7:6" @Behold, I Myself have taken your fellow Levites from among the sons of Israel; they are a gift to you, dedicated to the LORD, to perform the service for the tent of meeting.

nasb@Numbers:7:7" @But you and your sons with you shall attend to your priesthood for everything concerning the altar and inside the veil, and you are to perform service. I am giving you the priesthood as a bestowed service, but the outsider who comes near shall be put to death."

nasb@Numbers:7:8 @Then the LORD spoke to Aaron, "Now behold, I Myself have given you charge of My offerings, even all the holy gifts of the sons of Israel I have given them to you as a portion and to your sons as a perpetual allotment.

nasb@Numbers:7:9" @This shall be yours from the most holy gifts reserved from the fire; every offering of theirs, even every grain offering and every sin offering and every guilt offering, which they shall render to Me, shall be most holy for you and for your sons.

nasb@Numbers:7:10" @As the most holy gifts you shall eat it; every male shall eat it. It shall be holy to you.

nasb@Numbers:7:11" @This also is yours, the offering of their gift, even all the wave offerings of the sons of Israel; I have given them to you and to your sons and daughters with you as a perpetual allotment. Everyone of your household who is clean may eat it.

nasb@Numbers:7:12" @ All the best of the fresh oil and all the best of the fresh wine and of the grain, the first fruits of those which they give to the LORD, I give them to you.

nasb@Numbers:7:13" @ The first ripe fruits of all that is in their land, which they bring to the LORD, shall be yours; everyone of your household who is clean may eat it.

nasb@Numbers:7:14" @ Every devoted thing in Israel shall be yours.

nasb@Numbers:7:15" @ Every first issue of the womb of all flesh, whether man or animal, which they offer to the LORD, shall be yours; nevertheless the firstborn of man you shall surely redeem, and the firstborn of unclean animals you shall redeem.

nasb@Numbers:7:16" @As to their redemption price, from a month old you shall redeem them, by your valuation, five shekels in silver, according to the shekel of the sanctuary, which is twenty gerahs.

nasb@Numbers:7:17" @But the firstborn of an ox or the firstborn of a sheep or the firstborn of a goat, you shall not redeem; they are holy. You shall sprinkle their blood on the altar and shall offer up their fat in smoke as an offering by fire, for a soothing aroma to the LORD.

nasb@Numbers:7:18" @Their meat shall be yours; it shall be yours like the breast of a wave offering and like the right thigh.

nasb@Numbers:7:19" @ All the offerings of the holy gifts, which the sons of Israel offer to the LORD, I have given to you and your sons and your daughters with you, as a perpetual allotment. It is an everlasting covenant of salt before the LORD to you and your descendants with you."

nasb@Numbers:7:20 @Then the LORD said to Aaron, " You shall have no inheritance in their land nor own any portion among them; I am your portion and your inheritance among the sons of Israel.

nasb@Numbers:7:21" @To the sons of Levi, behold, I have given all the tithe in Israel for an inheritance, in return for their service which they perform, the service of the tent of meeting.

nasb@Numbers:7:25 @Then the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,

nasb@Numbers:7:26" @Moreover, you shall speak to the Levites and say to them, 'When you take from the sons of Israel the tithe which I have given you from them for your inheritance, then you shall present an offering from it to the LORD, a tithe of the tithe.

nasb@Numbers:8:1 @Then the sons of Israel, the whole congregation, came to the wilderness of Zin in the first month; and the people stayed at Kadesh. Now Miriam died there and was buried there.

nasb@Numbers:8:2 @There was no water for the congregation, and they assembled themselves against Moses and Aaron.

nasb@Numbers:8:3 @The people thus contended with Moses and spoke, saying, " If only we had perished when our brothers perished before the LORD!

nasb@Numbers:8:6 @Then Moses and Aaron came in from the presence of the assembly to the doorway of the tent of meeting and fell on their faces. Then the glory of the LORD appeared to them;

nasb@Numbers:8:10 @and Moses and Aaron gathered the assembly before the rock. And he said to them, " Listen now, you rebels; shall we bring forth water for you out of this rock?"

nasb@Numbers:8:11 @Then Moses lifted up his hand and struck the rock twice with his rod; and water came forth abundantly, and the congregation and their beasts drank.

nasb@Numbers:8:12 @But the LORD said to Moses and Aaron, " Because you have not believed Me, to treat Me as holy in the sight of the sons of Israel, therefore you shall not bring this assembly into the land which I have given them."

nasb@Numbers:8:13 @Those were the waters of Meribah, because the sons of Israel contended with the LORD, and He proved Himself holy among them.

nasb@Numbers:8:14 @From Kadesh Moses then sent messengers to the king of Edom- "Thus your brother Israel has said, 'You know all the hardship that has befallen us;

nasb@Numbers:8:20 @But he said, " You shall not pass through." And Edom came out against him with a heavy force and with a strong hand.

nasb@Numbers:8:21 @Thus Edom refused to allow Israel to pass through his territory; so Israel turned away from him.

nasb@Numbers:8:22 @Now when they set out from Kadesh, the sons of Israel, the whole congregation, came to Mount Hor.

nasb@Numbers:9:3 @The LORD heard the voice of Israel and delivered up the Canaanites; then they utterly destroyed them and their cities. Thus the name of the place was called Hormah.

nasb@Numbers:9:4 @Then they set out from Mount Hor by the way of the Red Sea, to go around the land of Edom; and the people became impatient because of the journey.

nasb@Numbers:9:5 @The people spoke against God and Moses, " Why have you brought us up out of Egypt to die in the wilderness? For there is no food and no water, and we loathe this miserable food."

nasb@Numbers:9:6 @The LORD sent fiery serpents among the people and they bit the people, so that many people of Israel died.

nasb@Numbers:9:7 @So the people came to Moses and said, "We have sinned, because we have spoken against the LORD and you; intercede with the LORD, that He may remove the serpents from us." And Moses interceded for the people.

nasb@Numbers:9:8 @Then the LORD said to Moses, "Make a fiery serpent, and set it on a standard; and it shall come about, that everyone who is bitten, when he looks at it, he will live."

nasb@Numbers:9:9 @And Moses made a bronze serpent and set it on the standard; and it came about, that if a serpent bit any man, when he looked to the bronze serpent, he lived.

nasb@Numbers:9:10 @Now the sons of Israel moved out and camped in Oboth.

nasb@Numbers:9:11 @They journeyed from Oboth and camped at Iyeabarim, in the wilderness which is opposite Moab, to the east.

nasb@Numbers:9:12 @From there they set out and camped in Wadi Zered.

nasb@Numbers:9:13 @From there they journeyed and camped 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.

nasb@Numbers:9:14 @Therefore it is said in the Book of the Wars of the LORD, "Waheb in Suphah, And the wadis of the Arnon,

nasb@Numbers:9:15 @And the slope of the wadis That extends to the site of Ar, And leans to the border of Moab."

nasb@Numbers:9:16 @From there they continued to Beer, that is the well where the LORD said to Moses, "Assemble the people, that I may give them water."

nasb@Numbers:9:17 @Then Israel sang this song- "Spring up, O well! Sing to it!

nasb@Numbers:9:18" @The well, which the leaders sank, Which the nobles of the people dug, With the scepter and with their staffs." And from the wilderness they continued to Mattanah,

nasb@Numbers:9:19 @and from Mattanah to Nahaliel, and from Nahaliel to Bamoth,

nasb@Numbers:9:20 @and from Bamoth to the valley that is in the land of Moab, at the top of Pisgah which overlooks the wasteland.

nasb@Numbers:9:21 @Then Israel sent messengers to Sihon, king of the Amorites, saying,

nasb@Numbers:9:22" @ Let me pass through your land. We will not turn off into field or vineyard; we will not drink water from wells. We will go by the king's highway until we have passed through your border."

nasb@Numbers:9:23 @But Sihon would not permit Israel to pass through his border. So Sihon gathered all his people and went out against Israel in the wilderness, and came to Jahaz and fought against Israel.

nasb@Numbers:9:24 @Then Israel struck him with the edge of the sword, and took possession of his land from the Arnon to the Jabbok, as far as the sons of Ammon; for the border of the sons of Ammon was Jazer.

nasb@Numbers:9:25 @Israel took all these cities and Israel lived in all the cities of the Amorites, in Heshbon, and in all her villages.

nasb@Numbers:9:26 @For Heshbon was the city of Sihon, king of the Amorites, who had fought against the former king of Moab and had taken all his land out of his hand, as far as the Arnon.

nasb@Numbers:9:27 @Therefore those who use proverbs say, "Come to Heshbon! Let it be built! So let the city of Sihon be established.

nasb@Numbers:9:28" @ For a fire went forth from Heshbon, A flame from the town of Sihon; It devoured Ar of Moab, The dominant heights of the Arnon.

nasb@Numbers:9:29" @ Woe to you, O Moab! You are ruined, O people of Chemosh! He has given his sons as fugitives, And his daughters into captivity, To an Amorite king, Sihon.

nasb@Numbers:9:30" @But we have cast them down, Heshbon is ruined as far as Dibon, Then we have laid waste even to Nophah, Which reaches to Medeba."

nasb@Numbers:9:31 @Thus Israel lived in the land of the Amorites.

nasb@Numbers:9:32 @Moses sent to spy out Jazer, and they captured its villages and dispossessed the Amorites who were there.

nasb@Numbers:9:33 @Then they turned and went up by the way of Bashan, and Og the king of Bashan went out with all his people, for battle at Edrei.

nasb@Numbers:9:34 @But the LORD said to Moses, " Do not fear him, for I have given him into your hand, and all his people and his land; and you shall do to him as you did to Sihon, king of the Amorites, who lived at Heshbon."

nasb@Numbers:9:35 @So they killed him and his sons and all his people, until there was no remnant left him; and they possessed his land.

nasb@Numbers:10:1 @Then the sons of Israel journeyed, and camped in the plains of Moab beyond the Jordan opposite Jericho.

nasb@Numbers:10:2 @Now Balak the son of Zippor saw all that Israel had done to the Amorites.

nasb@Numbers:10:3 @So Moab was in great fear because of the people, for they were numerous; and Moab was in dread of the sons of Israel.

nasb@Numbers:10:4 @Moab said to the elders of Midian, "Now this horde will lick up all that is around us, as the ox licks up the grass of the field." And Balak the son of Zippor was king of Moab at that time.

nasb@Numbers:10:5 @So he sent messengers to Balaam the son of Beor, at Pethor, which is near the River, in the land of the sons of his people, to call him, saying, "Behold, a people came out of Egypt; behold, they cover the surface of the land, and they are living opposite me.

nasb@Numbers:10:6" @ Now, therefore, please come, curse this people for me since they are too mighty for me; perhaps I may be able to defeat them and drive them out of the land. For I know that he whom you bless is blessed, and he whom you curse is cursed."

nasb@Numbers:10:7 @So the elders of Moab and the elders of Midian departed with the fees for divination in their hand; and they came to Balaam and repeated Balak's words to him.

nasb@Numbers:10:8 @He said to them, "Spend the night here, and I will bring word back to you as the LORD may speak to me." And the leaders of Moab stayed with Balaam.

nasb@Numbers:10:9 @Then God came to Balaam and said, "Who are these men with you?"

nasb@Numbers:10:10 @Balaam said to God, "Balak the son of Zippor, king of Moab, has sent word to me,

nasb@Numbers:10:11 @'Behold, there is a people who came out of Egypt and they cover the surface of the land; now come, curse them for me; perhaps I may be able to fight against them and drive them out.'"

nasb@Numbers:10:12 @God said to Balaam, "Do not go with them; you shall not curse the people, for they are blessed."

nasb@Numbers:10:13 @So Balaam arose in the morning and said to Balak's leaders, "Go back to your land, for the LORD has refused to let me go with you."

nasb@Numbers:10:14 @The leaders of Moab arose and went to Balak and said, "Balaam refused to come with us."

nasb@Numbers:10:15 @Then Balak again sent leaders, more numerous and more distinguished than the former.

nasb@Numbers:10:16 @They came to Balaam and said to him, "Thus says Balak the son of Zippor, 'Let nothing, I beg you, hinder you from coming to me;

nasb@Numbers:10:17 @for I will indeed honor you richly, and I will do whatever you say to me. Please come then, curse this people for me.'"

nasb@Numbers:10:18 @Balaam replied to the servants of Balak, " Though Balak were to give me his house full of silver and gold, I could not do anything, either small or great, contrary to the command of the LORD my God.

nasb@Numbers:10:19" @Now please, you also stay here tonight, and I will find out what else the LORD will speak to me."

nasb@Numbers:10:20 @God came to Balaam at night and said to him, "If the men have come to call you, rise up and go with them; but only the word which I speak to you shall you do."

nasb@Numbers:10:21 @So Balaam arose in the morning, and saddled his donkey and went with the leaders of Moab.

nasb@Numbers:10:22 @But God was angry because he was going, and the angel of the LORD took his stand in the way as an adversary against him. Now he was riding on his donkey and his two servants were with him.

nasb@Numbers:10:23 @When the donkey saw the angel of the LORD standing in the way with his drawn sword in his hand, the donkey turned off from the way and went into the field; but Balaam struck the donkey to turn her back into the way.

nasb@Numbers:10:24 @Then the angel of the LORD stood in a narrow path of the vineyards, with a wall on this side and a wall on that side.

nasb@Numbers:10:25 @When the donkey saw the angel of the LORD, she pressed herself to the wall and pressed Balaam's foot against the wall, so he struck her again.

nasb@Numbers:10:26 @The angel of the LORD went further, and stood in a narrow place where there was no way to turn to the right hand or the left.

nasb@Numbers:10:27 @When the donkey saw the angel of the LORD, she lay down under Balaam; so Balaam was angry and struck the donkey with his stick.

nasb@Numbers:10:28 @And the LORD opened the mouth of the donkey, and she said to Balaam, "What have I done to you, that you have struck me these three times?"

nasb@Numbers:10:29 @Then Balaam said to the donkey, "Because you have made a mockery of me! If there had been a sword in my hand, I would have killed you by now."

nasb@Numbers:10:30 @The donkey said to Balaam, "Am I not your donkey on which you have ridden all your life to this day? Have I ever been accustomed to do so to you?" And he said, "No."

nasb@Numbers:10:31 @Then the LORD opened the eyes of Balaam, and he saw the angel of the LORD standing in the way with his drawn sword in his hand; and he bowed all the way to the ground.

nasb@Numbers:10:32 @The angel of the LORD said to him, "Why have you struck your donkey these three times? Behold, I have come out as an adversary, because your way was contrary to me.

nasb@Numbers:10:33" @But the donkey saw me and turned aside from me these three times. If she had not turned aside from me, I would surely have killed you just now, and let her live."

nasb@Numbers:10:34 @Balaam said to the angel of the LORD, " I have sinned, for I did not know that you were standing in the way against me. Now then, if it is displeasing to you, I will turn back."

nasb@Numbers:10:35 @But the angel of the LORD said to Balaam, "Go with the men, but you shall speak only the word which I tell you." So Balaam went along with the leaders of Balak.

nasb@Numbers:10:36 @When Balak heard that Balaam was coming, he went out to meet him at the city of Moab, which is on the Arnon border, at the extreme end of the border.

nasb@Numbers:10:37 @Then Balak said to Balaam, "Did I not urgently send to you to call you? Why did you not come to me? Am I really unable to honor you?"

nasb@Numbers:10:38 @So Balaam said to Balak, "Behold, I have come now to you! Am I able to speak anything at all? The word that God puts in my mouth, that I shall speak."

nasb@Numbers:10:39 @And Balaam went with Balak, and they came to Kiriath-huzoth.

nasb@Numbers:10:40 @Balak sacrificed oxen and sheep, and sent some to Balaam and the leaders who were with him.

nasb@Numbers:10:41 @Then it came about in the morning that Balak took Balaam and brought him up to the high places of Baal, and he saw from there a portion of the people.

nasb@Numbers:11:1 @Then Balaam said to Balak, "Build seven altars for me here, and prepare seven bulls and seven rams for me here."

nasb@Numbers:11:2 @Balak did just as Balaam had spoken, and Balak and Balaam offered up a bull and a ram on each altar.

nasb@Numbers:11:3 @Then Balaam said to Balak, "Stand beside your burnt offering, and I will go; perhaps the LORD will come to meet me, and whatever He shows me I will tell you." So he went to a bare hill.

nasb@Numbers:11:4 @Now God met Balaam, and he said to Him, "I have set up the seven altars, and I have offered up a bull and a ram on each altar."

nasb@Numbers:11:5 @Then the LORD put a word in Balaam's mouth and said, "Return to Balak, and you shall speak thus."

nasb@Numbers:11:6 @So he returned to him, and behold, he was standing beside his burnt offering, he and all the leaders of Moab.

nasb@Numbers:11:7 @He took up his discourse and said, "From Aram Balak has brought me, Moab's king from the mountains of the East, ' Come curse Jacob for me, And come, denounce Israel!'

nasb@Numbers:11:8" @ How shall I curse whom God has not cursed? And how can I denounce whom the LORD has not denounced?

nasb@Numbers:11:9" @As I see him from the top of the rocks, And I look at him from the hills; Behold, a people who dwells apart, And will not be reckoned among the nations.

nasb@Numbers:11:10" @ Who can count the dust of Jacob, Or number the fourth part of Israel? Let me die the death of the upright, And let my end be like his!"

nasb@Numbers:11:11 @Then Balak said to Balaam, "What have you done to me? I took you to curse my enemies, but behold, you have actually blessed them!"

nasb@Numbers:11:12 @He replied, "Must I not be careful to speak what the LORD puts in my mouth?"

nasb@Numbers:11:13 @Then Balak said to him, "Please come with me to another place from where you may see them, although you will only see the extreme end of them and will not see all of them; and curse them for me from there."

nasb@Numbers:11:14 @So he took him to the field of Zophim, to the top of Pisgah, and built seven altars and offered a bull and a ram on each altar.

nasb@Numbers:11:15 @And he said to Balak, "Stand here beside your burnt offering while I myself meet the LORD over there."

nasb@Numbers:11:16 @Then the LORD met Balaam and put a word in his mouth and said, "Return to Balak, and thus you shall speak."

nasb@Numbers:11:17 @He came to him, and behold, he was standing beside his burnt offering, and the leaders of Moab with him. And Balak said to him, "What has the LORD spoken?"

nasb@Numbers:11:18 @Then he took up his discourse and said, "Arise, O Balak, and hear; Give ear to me, O son of Zippor!

nasb@Numbers:11:19" @ God is not a man, that He should lie, Nor a son of man, that He should repent; Has He said, and will He not do it? Or has He spoken, and will He not make it good?

nasb@Numbers:11:20" @Behold, I have received a command to bless; When He has blessed, then I cannot revoke it.

nasb@Numbers:11:21" @ He has not observed misfortune in Jacob; Nor has He seen trouble in Israel; The LORD his God is with him, And the shout of a king is among them.

nasb@Numbers:11:22" @ God brings them out of Egypt, He is for them like the horns of the wild ox.

nasb@Numbers:11:23" @ For there is no omen against Jacob, Nor is there any divination against Israel; At the proper time it shall be said to Jacob And to Israel, what God has done!

nasb@Numbers:11:24" @ Behold, a people rises like a lioness, And as a lion it lifts itself; It will not lie down until it devours the prey, And drinks the blood of the slain."

nasb@Numbers:11:25 @Then Balak said to Balaam, "Do not curse them at all nor bless them at all!"

nasb@Numbers:11:26 @But Balaam replied to Balak, "Did I not tell you, ' Whatever the LORD speaks, that I must do'?"

nasb@Numbers:11:27 @Then Balak said to Balaam, "Please come, I will take you to another place; perhaps it will be agreeable with God that you curse them for me from there."

nasb@Numbers:11:28 @So Balak took Balaam to the top of Peor which overlooks the wasteland.

nasb@Numbers:11:29 @Balaam said to Balak, "Build seven altars for me here and prepare seven bulls and seven rams for me here."

nasb@Numbers:11:30 @Balak did just as Balaam had said, and offered up a bull and a ram on each altar.

nasb@Numbers:12:1 @When Balaam saw that it pleased the LORD to bless Israel, he did not go as at other times to seek omens but he set his face toward the wilderness.

nasb@Numbers:12:2 @And Balaam lifted up his eyes and saw Israel camping tribe by tribe; and the Spirit of God came upon him.

nasb@Numbers:12:3 @He took up his discourse and said, " The oracle of Balaam the son of Beor, And the oracle of the man whose eye is opened;

nasb@Numbers:12:4 @The oracle of him who hears the words of God, Who sees the vision of the Almighty, Falling down, yet having his eyes uncovered,

nasb@Numbers:12:5 @How fair are your tents, O Jacob, Your dwellings, O Israel!

nasb@Numbers:12:6" @Like valleys that stretch out, Like gardens beside the river, Like aloes planted by the LORD, Like cedars beside the waters.

nasb@Numbers:12:7" @Water will flow from his buckets, And his seed will be by many waters, And his king shall be higher than Agag, And his kingdom shall be exalted.

nasb@Numbers:12:8" @ God brings him out of Egypt, He is for him like the horns of the wild ox. He will devour the nations who are his adversaries, And will crush their bones in pieces, And shatter them with his arrows.

nasb@Numbers:12:9" @ He couches, he lies down as a lion, And as a lion, who dares rouse him? Blessed is everyone who blesses you, And cursed is everyone who curses you."

nasb@Numbers:12:10 @Then Balak's anger burned against Balaam, and he struck his hands together; and Balak said to Balaam, "I called you to curse my enemies, but behold, you have persisted in blessing them these three times!

nasb@Numbers:12:11" @Therefore, flee to your place now. I said I would honor you greatly, but behold, the LORD has held you back from honor."

nasb@Numbers:12:12 @Balaam said to Balak, " Did I not tell your messengers whom you had sent to me, saying,

nasb@Numbers:12:13 @'Though Balak were to give me his house full of silver and gold, I could not do anything contrary to the command of the LORD, either good or bad, of my own accord. What the LORD speaks, that I will speak'?

nasb@Numbers:12:14" @And now, behold, I am going to my people; come, and I will advise you what this people will do to your people in the days to come."

nasb@Numbers:12:15 @He took up his discourse and said, " The oracle of Balaam the son of Beor, And the oracle of the man whose eye is opened,

nasb@Numbers:12:17" @I see him, but not now; I behold him, but not near; A star shall come forth from Jacob, A scepter shall rise from Israel, And shall crush through the forehead of Moab, And tear down all the sons of Sheth.

nasb@Numbers:12:19" @One from Jacob shall have dominion, And will destroy the remnant from the city."

nasb@Numbers:12:20 @And he looked at Amalek and took up his discourse and said, "Amalek was the first of the nations, But his end shall be destruction."

nasb@Numbers:12:21 @And he looked at the Kenite, and took up his discourse and said, "Your dwelling place is enduring, And your nest is set in the cliff.

nasb@Numbers:12:22" @Nevertheless Kain will be consumed; How long will Asshur keep you captive?"

nasb@Numbers:12:23 @Then he took up his discourse and said, "Alas, who can live except God has ordained it?

nasb@Numbers:12:24" @But ships shall come from the coast of Kittim, And they shall afflict Asshur and will afflict Eber; So they also will come to destruction."

nasb@Numbers:12:25 @Then Balaam arose and departed and returned to his place, and Balak also went his way.

nasb@Numbers:13:1 @While Israel remained at Shittim, the people began to play the harlot with the daughters of Moab.

nasb@Numbers:13:2 @For they invited the people to the sacrifices of their gods, and the people ate and bowed down to their gods.

nasb@Numbers:13:3 @So Israel joined themselves to Baal of Peor, and the LORD was angry against Israel.

nasb@Numbers:13:4 @The LORD said to Moses, "Take all the leaders of the people and execute them in broad daylight before the LORD, so that the fierce anger of the LORD may turn away from Israel."

nasb@Numbers:13:5 @So Moses said to the judges of Israel, "Each of you slay his men who have joined themselves to Baal of Peor."

nasb@Numbers:13:6 @Then behold, one of the sons of Israel came and brought to his relatives a Midianite woman, in the sight of Moses and in the sight of all the congregation of the sons of Israel, while they were weeping at the doorway of the tent of meeting.

nasb@Numbers:13:7 @When Phinehas the son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron the priest, saw it, he arose from the midst of the congregation and took a spear in his hand,

nasb@Numbers:13:8 @and he went after the man of Israel into the tent and pierced both of them through, the man of Israel and the woman, through the body. So the plague on the sons of Israel was checked.

nasb@Numbers:13:9 @Those who died by the plague were 24,000.

nasb@Numbers:13:10 @Then the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,

nasb@Numbers:13:11" @ Phinehas the son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron the priest, has turned away My wrath from the sons of Israel in that he was jealous with My jealousy among them, so that I did not destroy the sons of Israel in My jealousy.

nasb@Numbers:13:13 @and it shall be for him and his descendants after him, a covenant of a perpetual priesthood, because he was jealous for his God and made atonement for the sons of Israel.'"

nasb@Numbers:13:14 @Now the name of the slain man of Israel who was slain with the Midianite woman, was Zimri the son of Salu, a leader of a father's household among the Simeonites.

nasb@Numbers:13:15 @The name of the Midianite woman who was slain was Cozbi the daughter of Zur, who was head of the people of a father's household in Midian.

nasb@Numbers:13:16 @Then the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,

nasb@Numbers:13:17" @ Be hostile to the Midianites and strike them;

nasb@Numbers:13:18 @for they have been hostile to you with their tricks, with which they have deceived you in the affair of Peor and in the affair of Cozbi, the daughter of the leader of Midian, their sister who was slain on the day of the plague because of Peor."

nasb@Numbers:13:26 @Then it came about after the plague, that the LORD spoke to Moses and to Eleazar the son of Aaron the priest, saying,

nasb@Numbers:13:2" @ Take a census of all the congregation of the sons of Israel from twenty years old and upward, by their fathers' households, whoever is able to go out to war in Israel."

nasb@Numbers:13:54" @ To the larger group you shall increase their inheritance, and to the smaller group you shall diminish their inheritance; each shall be given their inheritance according to those who were numbered of them.

nasb@Numbers:13:55" @But the land shall be divided by lot. They shall receive their inheritance according to the names of the tribes of their fathers.

nasb@Numbers:13:56" @According to the selection by lot, their inheritance shall be divided between the larger and the smaller groups."

nasb@Numbers:13:62 @Those who were numbered of them were 23,000, every male from a month old and upward, for they were not numbered among the sons of Israel since no inheritance was given to them among the sons of Israel.

nasb@Numbers:13:63 @These are those who were numbered by Moses and Eleazar the priest, who numbered the sons of Israel in the plains of Moab by the Jordan at Jericho.

nasb@Numbers:13:64 @But among these there was not a man of those who were numbered by Moses and Aaron the priest, who numbered the sons of Israel in the wilderness of Sinai.

nasb@Numbers:13:65 @For the LORD had said of them, " They shall surely die in the wilderness." And not a man was left of them, except Caleb the son of Jephunneh and Joshua the son of Nun.

nasb@Numbers:14:1 @Then the daughters of Zelophehad, the son of Hepher, the son of Gilead, the son of Machir, the son of Manasseh, of the families of Manasseh the son of Joseph, came near; and these are the names of his daughters- Mahlah, Noah and Hoglah and Milcah and Tirzah.

nasb@Numbers:14:2 @They stood before Moses and before Eleazar the priest and before the leaders and all the congregation, at the doorway of the tent of meeting, saying,

nasb@Numbers:14:6 @Then the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,

nasb@Numbers:14:7" @ The daughters of Zelophehad are right in their statements. You shall surely give them a hereditary possession among their father's brothers, and you shall transfer the inheritance of their father to them.

nasb@Numbers:14:8" @Further, you shall speak to the sons of Israel, saying, 'If a man dies and has no son, then you shall transfer his inheritance to his daughter.

nasb@Numbers:14:9 @'If he has no daughter, then you shall give his inheritance to his brothers.

nasb@Numbers:14:11 @'If his father has no brothers, then you shall give his inheritance to his nearest relative in his own family, and he shall possess it; and it shall be a statutory ordinance to the sons of Israel, just as the LORD commanded Moses.'"

nasb@Numbers:14:12 @Then the LORD said to Moses, "Go up to this mountain of Abarim, and see the land which I have given to the sons of Israel.

nasb@Numbers:14:14 @for in the wilderness of Zin, during the strife of the congregation, you rebelled against My command to treat Me as holy before their eyes at the water." (These are the waters of Meribah of Kadesh in the wilderness of Zin.)

nasb@Numbers:14:15 @Then Moses spoke to the LORD, saying,

nasb@Numbers:14:16" @ May the LORD, the God of the spirits of all flesh, appoint a man over the congregation,

nasb@Numbers:14:17 @who will go out and come in before them, and who will lead them out and bring them in, so that the congregation of the LORD will not be like sheep which have no shepherd."

nasb@Numbers:14:18 @So the LORD said to Moses, "Take Joshua the son of Nun, a man in whom is the Spirit, and lay your hand on him;

nasb@Numbers:14:20" @You shall put some of your authority on him, in order that all the congregation of the sons of Israel may obey him.

nasb@Numbers:15:3" @Also if a woman makes a vow to the LORD, and binds herself by an obligation in her father's house in her youth,

nasb@Numbers:15:4 @and her father hears her vow and her obligation by which she has bound herself, and her father says nothing to her, then all her vows shall stand and every obligation by which she has bound herself shall stand.

nasb@Numbers:15:5" @But if her father should forbid her on the day he hears of it, none of her vows or her obligations by which she has bound herself shall stand; and the LORD will forgive her because her father had forbidden her.

nasb@Numbers:15:6" @However, if she should marry while under her vows or the rash statement of her lips by which she has bound herself,

nasb@Numbers:15:7 @and her husband hears of it and says nothing to her on the day he hears it, then her vows shall stand and her obligations by which she has bound herself shall stand.

nasb@Numbers:15:8" @But if on the day her husband hears of it, he forbids her, then he shall annul her vow which she is under and the rash statement of her lips by which she has bound herself; and the LORD will forgive her.

nasb@Numbers:15:9" @But the vow of a widow or of a divorced woman, everything by which she has bound herself, shall stand against her.

nasb@Numbers:15:10" @However, if she vowed in her husband's house, or bound herself by an obligation with an oath,

nasb@Numbers:15:11 @and her husband heard it, but said nothing to her and did not forbid her, then all her vows shall stand and every obligation by which she bound herself shall stand.

nasb@Numbers:15:12" @But if her husband indeed annuls them on the day he hears them, then whatever proceeds out of her lips concerning her vows or concerning the obligation of herself shall not stand; her husband has annulled them, and the LORD will forgive her.

nasb@Numbers:15:13" @Every vow and every binding oath to humble herself, her husband may confirm it or her husband may annul it.

nasb@Numbers:15:14" @But if her husband indeed says nothing to her from day to day, then he confirms all her vows or all her obligations which are on her; he has confirmed them, because he said nothing to her on the day he heard them.

nasb@Numbers:15:15" @But if he indeed annuls them after he has heard them, then he shall bear her guilt."

nasb@Numbers:15:16 @These are the statutes which the LORD commanded Moses, as between a man and his wife, and as between a father and his daughter, while she is in her youth in her father's house.

nasb@Numbers:15:5 @So there were furnished from the thousands of Israel, a thousand from each tribe, twelve thousand armed for war.

nasb@Numbers:15:8 @They killed the kings of Midian along with the rest of their slain- Evi and Rekem and Zur and Hur and Reba, the five kings of Midian; they also killed Balaam the son of Beor with the sword.

nasb@Numbers:15:9 @The sons of Israel captured the women of Midian and their little ones; and all their cattle and all their flocks and all their goods they plundered.

nasb@Numbers:15:12 @They brought the captives and the prey and the spoil to Moses, and to Eleazar the priest and to the congregation of the sons of Israel, to the camp at the plains of Moab, which are by the Jordan opposite Jericho.

nasb@Numbers:15:20" @You shall purify for yourselves every garment and every article of leather and all the work of goats' hair, and all articles of wood."

nasb@Numbers:15:21 @Then Eleazar the priest said to the men of war who had gone to battle, "This is the statute of the law which the LORD has commanded Moses-

nasb@Numbers:15:22 @only the gold and the silver, the bronze, the iron, the tin and the lead,

nasb@Numbers:15:23 @everything that can stand the fire, you shall pass through the fire, and it shall be clean, but it shall be purified with water for impurity. But whatever cannot stand the fire you shall pass through the water.

nasb@Numbers:15:30" @From the sons of Israel's half, you shall take one drawn out of every fifty of the persons, of the cattle, of the donkeys and of the sheep, from all the animals, and give them to the Levites who keep charge of the tabernacle of the LORD."

nasb@Numbers:15:31 @Moses and Eleazar the priest did just as the LORD had commanded Moses.

nasb@Numbers:15:32 @Now the booty that remained from the spoil which the men of war had plundered was 675,000 sheep,

nasb@Numbers:15:34 @and 61,000 donkeys,

nasb@Numbers:15:36 @The half, the portion of those who went out to war, was as follows- the number of sheep was 337,500,

nasb@Numbers:16:5 @They said, "If we have found favor in your sight, let this land be given to your servants as a possession; do not take us across the Jordan."

nasb@Numbers:16:6 @But Moses said to the sons of Gad and to the sons of Reuben, "Shall your brothers go to war while you yourselves sit here?

nasb@Numbers:16:7" @ Now why are you discouraging the sons of Israel from crossing over into the land which the LORD has given them?

nasb@Numbers:16:8" @This is what your fathers did when I sent them from Kadesh-barnea to see the land.

nasb@Numbers:16:9" @For when they went up to the valley of Eshcol and saw the land, they discouraged the sons of Israel so that they did not go into the land which the LORD had given them.

nasb@Numbers:16:10" @So the LORD'S anger burned in that day, and He swore, saying,

nasb@Numbers:16:11 @' None of the men who came up from Egypt, from twenty years old and upward, shall see the land which I swore to Abraham, to Isaac and to Jacob; for they did not follow Me fully,

nasb@Numbers:16:12 @except Caleb the son of Jephunneh the Kenizzite and Joshua the son of Nun, for they have followed the LORD fully.'

nasb@Numbers:16:13" @ So the LORD'S anger burned against Israel, and He made them wander in the wilderness forty years, until the entire generation of those who had done evil in the sight of the LORD was destroyed.

nasb@Numbers:16:14" @Now behold, you have risen up in your fathers' place, a brood of sinful men, to add still more to the burning anger of the LORD against Israel.

nasb@Numbers:16:15" @For if you turn away from following Him, He will once more abandon them in the wilderness, and you will destroy all these people."

nasb@Numbers:16:16 @Then they came near to him and said, "We will build here sheepfolds for our livestock and cities for our little ones;

nasb@Numbers:16:17 @but we ourselves will be armed ready to go before the sons of Israel, until we have brought them to their place, while our little ones live in the fortified cities because of the inhabitants of the land.

nasb@Numbers:16:18" @ We will not return to our homes until every one of the sons of Israel has possessed his inheritance.

nasb@Numbers:16:19" @For we will not have an inheritance with them on the other side of the Jordan and beyond, because our inheritance has fallen to us on this side of the Jordan toward the east."

nasb@Numbers:16:20 @So Moses said to them, "If you will do this, if you will arm yourselves before the LORD for the war,

nasb@Numbers:16:21 @and all of you armed men cross over the Jordan before the LORD until He has driven His enemies out from before Him,

nasb@Numbers:16:22 @and the land is subdued before the LORD, then afterward you shall return and be free of obligation toward the LORD and toward Israel, and this land shall be yours for a possession before the LORD.

nasb@Numbers:16:23" @But if you will not do so, behold, you have sinned against the LORD, and be sure your sin will find you out.

nasb@Numbers:16:24" @Build yourselves cities for your little ones, and sheepfolds for your sheep, and do what you have promised."

nasb@Numbers:16:25 @The sons of Gad and the sons of Reuben spoke to Moses, saying, "Your servants will do just as my lord commands.

nasb@Numbers:16:26" @ Our little ones, our wives, our livestock and all our cattle shall remain there in the cities of Gilead;

nasb@Numbers:16:27 @while your servants, everyone who is armed for war, will cross over in the presence of the LORD to battle, just as my lord says."

nasb@Numbers:16:28 @So Moses gave command concerning them to Eleazar the priest, and to Joshua the son of Nun, and to the heads of the fathers' households of the tribes of the sons of Israel.

nasb@Numbers:16:29 @Moses said to them, "If the sons of Gad and the sons of Reuben, everyone who is armed for battle, will cross with you over the Jordan in the presence of the LORD, and the land is subdued before you, then you shall give them the land of Gilead for a possession;

nasb@Numbers:16:30 @but if they will not cross over with you armed, they shall have possessions among you in the land of Canaan."

nasb@Numbers:16:31 @The sons of Gad and the sons of Reuben answered, saying, "As the LORD has said to your servants, so we will do.

nasb@Numbers:16:32" @We ourselves will cross over armed in the presence of the LORD into the land of Canaan, and the possession of our inheritance shall remain with us across the Jordan."

nasb@Numbers:16:33 @So Moses gave to them, to the sons of Gad and to the sons of Reuben and to the half-tribe of Joseph's son Manasseh, the kingdom of Sihon, king of the Amorites and the kingdom of Og, the king of Bashan, the land with its cities with their territories, the cities of the surrounding land.

nasb@Numbers:16:34 @The sons of Gad built Dibon and Ataroth and Aroer,

nasb@Numbers:16:35 @and Atroth-shophan and Jazer and Jogbehah,

nasb@Numbers:16:36 @and Beth-nimrah and Beth-haran as fortified cities, and sheepfolds for sheep.

nasb@Numbers:16:37 @The sons of Reuben built Heshbon and Elealeh and Kiriathaim,

nasb@Numbers:16:38 @and Nebo and Baal-meon--their names being changed--and Sibmah, and they gave other names to the cities which they built.

nasb@Numbers:16:39 @The sons of Machir the son of Manasseh went to Gilead and took it, and dispossessed the Amorites who were in it.

nasb@Numbers:16:40 @So Moses gave Gilead to Machir the son of Manasseh, and he lived in it.

nasb@Numbers:16:41 @Jair the son of Manasseh went and took its towns, and called them Havvoth-jair.

nasb@Numbers:16:42 @Nobah went and took Kenath and its villages, and called it Nobah after his own name.

nasb@Numbers:17:1 @These are the journeys of the sons of Israel, by which they came out from the land of Egypt by their armies, under the leadership of Moses and Aaron.

nasb@Numbers:17:2 @Moses recorded their starting places according to their journeys by the command of the LORD, and these are their journeys according to their starting places.

nasb@Numbers:17:3 @They journeyed from Rameses in the first month, on the fifteenth day of the first month; on the next day after the Passover the sons of Israel started out boldly in the sight of all the Egyptians,

nasb@Numbers:17:4 @while the Egyptians were burying all their firstborn whom the LORD had struck down among them. The LORD had also executed judgments on their gods.

nasb@Numbers:17:5 @Then the sons of Israel journeyed from Rameses and camped in Succoth.

nasb@Numbers:17:6 @They journeyed from Succoth and camped in Etham, which is on the edge of the wilderness.

nasb@Numbers:17:7 @They journeyed from Etham and turned back to Pi-hahiroth, which faces Baal-zephon, and they camped before Migdol.

nasb@Numbers:17:8 @They journeyed from before Hahiroth and passed through the midst of the sea into the wilderness; and they went three days' journey in the wilderness of Etham and camped at Marah.

nasb@Numbers:17:9 @They journeyed from Marah and came to Elim; and in Elim there were twelve springs of water and seventy palm trees, and they camped there.

nasb@Numbers:17:10 @They journeyed from Elim and camped by the Red Sea.

nasb@Numbers:17:11 @They journeyed from the Red Sea and camped in the wilderness of Sin.

nasb@Numbers:17:12 @They journeyed from the wilderness of Sin and camped at Dophkah.

nasb@Numbers:17:13 @They journeyed from Dophkah and camped at Alush.

nasb@Numbers:17:14 @They journeyed from Alush and camped at Rephidim; now it was there that the people had no water to drink.

nasb@Numbers:17:15 @They journeyed from Rephidim and camped in the wilderness of Sinai.

nasb@Numbers:17:16 @They journeyed from the wilderness of Sinai and camped at Kibroth-hattaavah.

nasb@Numbers:17:29 @They journeyed from Mithkah and camped at Hashmonah.

nasb@Numbers:17:30 @They journeyed from Hashmonah and camped at Moseroth.

nasb@Numbers:17:31 @They journeyed from Moseroth and camped at Bene-jaakan.

nasb@Numbers:17:32 @They journeyed from Bene-jaakan and camped at Hor-haggidgad.

nasb@Numbers:17:35 @They journeyed from Abronah and camped at Ezion-geber.

nasb@Numbers:17:36 @They journeyed from Ezion-geber and camped in the wilderness of Zin, that is, Kadesh.

nasb@Numbers:17:37 @They journeyed from Kadesh and camped at Mount Hor, at the edge of the land of Edom.

nasb@Numbers:17:38 @Then Aaron the priest went up to Mount Hor at the command of the LORD, and died there in the fortieth year after the sons of Israel had come from the land of Egypt, on the first day in the fifth month.

nasb@Numbers:17:39 @Aaron was one hundred twenty-three years old when he died on Mount Hor.

nasb@Numbers:17:40 @Now the Canaanite, the king of Arad who lived in the Negev in the land of Canaan, heard of the coming of the sons of Israel.

nasb@Numbers:17:42 @They journeyed from Zalmonah and camped at Punon.

nasb@Numbers:17:43 @They journeyed from Punon and camped at Oboth.

nasb@Numbers:17:49 @They camped by the Jordan, from Beth-jeshimoth as far as Abel-shittim in the plains of Moab.

nasb@Numbers:17:50 @Then the LORD spoke to Moses in the plains of Moab by the Jordan opposite Jericho, saying,

nasb@Numbers:17:51" @Speak to the sons of Israel and say to them, ' When you cross over the Jordan into the land of Canaan,

nasb@Numbers:17:52 @then you shall drive out all the inhabitants of the land from before you, and destroy all their figured stones, and destroy all their molten images and demolish all their high places;

nasb@Numbers:17:53 @and you shall take possession of the land and live in it, for I have given the land to you to possess it.

nasb@Numbers:17:54 @' You shall inherit the land by lot according to your families; to the larger you shall give more inheritance, and to the smaller you shall give less inheritance. Wherever the lot falls to anyone, that shall be his. You shall inherit according to the tribes of your fathers.

nasb@Numbers:17:55 @'But if you do not drive out the inhabitants of the land from before you, then it shall come about that those whom you let remain of them will become as pricks in your eyes and as thorns in your sides, and they will trouble you in the land in which you live.

nasb@Numbers:17:56 @'And as I plan to do to them, so I will do to you.'"

nasb@Numbers:17:34 @Then the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,

nasb@Numbers:17:2" @Command the sons of Israel and say to them, 'When you enter the land of Canaan, this is the land that shall fall to you as an inheritance, even the land of Canaan according to its borders.

nasb@Numbers:17:3 @' Your southern sector shall extend from the wilderness of Zin along the side of Edom, and your southern border shall extend from the end of the Salt Sea eastward.

nasb@Numbers:17:4 @'Then your border shall turn direction from the south to the ascent of Akrabbim and continue to Zin, and its termination shall be to the south of Kadesh-barnea; and it shall reach Hazaraddar and continue to Azmon.

nasb@Numbers:17:5 @'The border shall turn direction from Azmon to the brook of Egypt, and its termination shall be at the sea.

nasb@Numbers:17:6 @'As for the western border, you shall have the Great Sea, that is, its coastline; this shall be your west border.

nasb@Numbers:17:7 @' And this shall be your north border- you shall draw your border line from the Great Sea to Mount Hor.

nasb@Numbers:17:8 @'You shall draw a line from Mount Hor to the Lebo-hamath, and the termination of the border shall be at Zedad;

nasb@Numbers:17:9 @and the border shall proceed to Ziphron, and its termination shall be at Hazar-enan. This shall be your north border.

nasb@Numbers:17:10 @'For your eastern border you shall also draw a line from Hazar-enan to Shepham,

nasb@Numbers:17:13 @So Moses commanded the sons of Israel, saying, " This is the land that you are to apportion by lot among you as a possession, which the LORD has commanded to give to the nine and a half tribes.

nasb@Numbers:17:14" @ For the tribe of the sons of Reuben have received theirs according to their fathers' households, and the tribe of the sons of Gad according to their fathers' households, and the half-tribe of Manasseh have received their possession.

nasb@Numbers:17:15" @The two and a half tribes have received their possession across the Jordan opposite Jericho, eastward toward the sunrising."

nasb@Numbers:17:16 @Then the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,

nasb@Numbers:17:17" @ These are the names of the men who shall apportion the land to you for inheritance- Eleazar the priest and Joshua the son of Nun.

nasb@Numbers:17:18" @You shall take one leader of every tribe to apportion the land for inheritance.

nasb@Numbers:17:2" @Command the sons of Israel that they give to the Levites from the inheritance of their possession cities to live in; and you shall give to the Levites pasture lands around the cities.

nasb@Numbers:17:3" @The cities shall be theirs to live in; and their pasture lands shall be for their cattle and for their herds and for all their beasts.

nasb@Numbers:17:4" @The pasture lands of the cities which you shall give to the Levites shall extend from the wall of the city outward a thousand cubits around.

nasb@Numbers:17:5" @You shall also measure outside the city on the east side two thousand cubits, and on the south side two thousand cubits, and on the west side two thousand cubits, and on the north side two thousand cubits, with the city in the center.

nasb@Numbers:17:6" @The cities which you shall give to the Levites shall be the six cities of refuge, which you shall give for the manslayer to flee to; and in addition to them you shall give forty-two cities.

nasb@Numbers:17:7" @All the cities which you shall give to the Levites shall be forty-eight cities, together with their pasture lands.

nasb@Numbers:17:8" @ As for the cities which you shall give from the possession of the sons of Israel, you shall take more from the larger and you shall take less from the smaller; each shall give some of his cities to the Levites in proportion to his possession which he inherits."

nasb@Deuteronomy:1:23" @The thing pleased me and I took twelve of your men, one man for each tribe.

nasb@Deuteronomy:1:26" @ Yet you were not willing to go up, but rebelled against the command of the LORD your God;

nasb@Deuteronomy:1:27 @and you grumbled in your tents and said, 'Because the LORD hates us, He has brought us out of the land of Egypt to deliver us into the hand of the Amorites to destroy us.

nasb@Deuteronomy:1:28 @'Where can we go up? Our brethren have made our hearts melt, saying, "The people are bigger and taller than we; the cities are large and fortified to heaven. And besides, we saw the sons of the Anakim there."'

nasb@Joshua:2:13" @It shall come about when the soles of the feet of the priests who carry the ark of the LORD, the Lord of all the earth, rest in the waters of the Jordan, the waters of the Jordan will be cut off, and the waters which are flowing down from above will stand in one heap."

nasb@Joshua:2:2" @ Take for yourselves twelve men from the people, one man from each tribe,

nasb@Joshua:2:4 @So Joshua called the twelve men whom he had appointed from the sons of Israel, one man from each tribe;

nasb@Joshua:2:5 @and Joshua said to them, "Cross again to the ark of the LORD your God into the middle of the Jordan, and each of you take up a stone on his shoulder, according to the number of the tribes of the sons of Israel.

nasb@Joshua:2:6" @Let this be a sign among you, so that when your children ask later, saying, 'What do these stones mean to you?'

nasb@Joshua:2:7 @then you shall say to them, 'Because the waters of the Jordan were cut off before the ark of the covenant of the LORD; when it crossed the Jordan, the waters of the Jordan were cut off.' So these stones shall become a memorial to the sons of Israel forever."

nasb@Joshua:2:8 @Thus the sons of Israel did as Joshua commanded, and took up twelve stones from the middle of the Jordan, just as the LORD spoke to Joshua, according to the number of the tribes of the sons of Israel; and they carried them over with them to the lodging place and put them down there.

nasb@Joshua:2:11 @and when all the people had finished crossing, the ark of the LORD and the priests crossed before the people.

nasb@Joshua:2:12 @The sons of Reuben and the sons of Gad and the half-tribe of Manasseh crossed over in battle array before the sons of Israel, just as Moses had spoken to them;

nasb@Joshua:2:13 @about 40,000 equipped for war, crossed for battle before the LORD to the desert plains of Jericho.

nasb@Joshua:2:18 @It came about when the priests who carried the ark of the covenant of the LORD had come up from the middle of the Jordan, and the soles of the priests' feet were lifted up to the dry ground, that the waters of the Jordan returned to their place, and went over all its banks as before.

nasb@Joshua:2:23" @For the LORD your God dried up the waters of the Jordan before you until you had crossed, just as the LORD your God had done to the Red Sea, which He dried up before us until we had crossed;

nasb@Joshua:3:1 @Now it came about when all the kings of the Amorites who were beyond the Jordan to the west, and all the kings of the Canaanites who were by the sea, heard how the LORD had dried up the waters of the Jordan before the sons of Israel until they had crossed, that their hearts melted, and there was no spirit in them any longer because of the sons of Israel.

nasb@Joshua:3:3 @So Joshua made himself flint knives and circumcised the sons of Israel at Gibeath-haaraloth.

nasb@Joshua:3:5 @For all the people who came out were circumcised, but all the people who were born in the wilderness along the way as they came out of Egypt had not been circumcised.

nasb@Joshua:3:6 @For the sons of Israel walked forty years in the wilderness, until all the nation, that is, the men of war who came out of Egypt, perished because they did not listen to the voice of the LORD, to whom the LORD had sworn that He would not let them see the land which the LORD had sworn to their fathers to give us, a land flowing with milk and honey.

nasb@Joshua:3:7 @Their children whom He raised up in their place, Joshua circumcised; for they were uncircumcised, because they had not circumcised them along the way.

nasb@Joshua:3:13 @Now it came about when Joshua was by Jericho, that he lifted up his eyes and looked, and behold, a man was standing opposite him with his sword drawn in his hand, and Joshua went to him and said to him, "Are you for us or for our adversaries?"

nasb@Joshua:4:1 @Now Jericho was tightly shut because of the sons of Israel; no one went out and no one came in.

nasb@Joshua:4:4" @Also seven priests shall carry seven trumpets of rams' horns before the ark; then on the seventh day you shall march around the city seven times, and the priests shall blow the trumpets.

nasb@Joshua:4:5" @It shall be that when they make a long blast with the ram's horn, and when you hear the sound of the trumpet, all the people shall shout with a great shout; and the wall of the city will fall down flat, and the people will go up every man straight ahead."

nasb@Joshua:4:6 @So Joshua the son of Nun called the priests and said to them, "Take up the ark of the covenant, and let seven priests carry seven trumpets of rams' horns before the ark of the LORD."

nasb@Joshua:4:7 @Then he said to the people, "Go forward, and march around the city, and let the armed men go on before the ark of the LORD."

nasb@Joshua:4:8 @And it was so, that when Joshua had spoken to the people, the seven priests carrying the seven trumpets of rams' horns before the LORD went forward and blew the trumpets; and the ark of the covenant of the LORD followed them.

nasb@Joshua:4:9 @The armed men went before the priests who blew the trumpets, and the rear guard came after the ark, while they continued to blow the trumpets.

nasb@Joshua:4:10 @But Joshua commanded the people, saying, "You shall not shout nor let your voice be heard nor let a word proceed out of your mouth, until the day I tell you, 'Shout!' Then you shall shout!"

nasb@Joshua:4:13 @The seven priests carrying the seven trumpets of rams' horns before the ark of the LORD went on continually, and blew the trumpets; and the armed men went before them and the rear guard came after the ark of the LORD, while they continued to blow the trumpets.

nasb@Joshua:4:17" @The city shall be under the ban, it and all that is in it belongs to the LORD; only Rahab the harlot and all who are with her in the house shall live, because she hid the messengers whom we sent.

nasb@Joshua:4:26 @Then Joshua made them take an oath at that time, saying, " Cursed before the LORD is the man who rises up and builds this city Jericho; with the loss of his firstborn he shall lay its foundation, and with the loss of his youngest son he shall set up its gates."

nasb@Joshua:5:1 @But the sons of Israel acted unfaithfully in regard to the things under the ban, for Achan, the son of Carmi, the son of Zabdi, the son of Zerah, from the tribe of Judah, took some of the things under the ban, therefore the anger of the LORD burned against the sons of Israel.

nasb@Joshua:5:2 @Now Joshua sent men from Jericho to Ai, which is near Beth-aven, east of Bethel, and said to them, "Go up and spy out the land." So the men went up and spied out Ai.

nasb@Joshua:5:5 @The men of Ai struck down about thirty-six of their men, and pursued them from the gate as far as Shebarim and struck them down on the descent, so the hearts of the people melted and became as water.

nasb@Joshua:5:6 @Then Joshua tore his clothes and fell to the earth on his face before the ark of the LORD until the evening, both he and the elders of Israel; and they put dust on their heads.

nasb@Joshua:5:7 @Joshua said, "Alas, O Lord GOD, why did You ever bring this people over the Jordan, only to deliver us into the hand of the Amorites, to destroy us? If only we had been willing to dwell beyond the Jordan!

nasb@Joshua:5:8" @O Lord, what can I say since Israel has turned their back before their enemies?

nasb@Joshua:5:12" @Therefore the sons of Israel cannot stand before their enemies; they turn their backs before their enemies, for they have become accursed. I will not be with you anymore unless you destroy the things under the ban from your midst.

nasb@Joshua:5:13" @Rise up!

nasb@Joshua:5:14 @'In the morning then you shall come near by your tribes. And it shall be that the tribe which the LORD takes by lot shall come near by families, and the family which the LORD takes shall come near by households, and the household which the LORD takes shall come near man by man.

nasb@Joshua:5:18 @He brought his household near man by man; and Achan, son of Carmi, son of Zabdi, son of Zerah, from the tribe of Judah, was taken.

nasb@Joshua:5:21 @when I saw among the spoil a beautiful mantle from Shinar and two hundred shekels of silver and a bar of gold fifty shekels in weight, then I coveted them and took them; and behold, they are concealed in the earth inside my tent with the silver underneath it."

nasb@Joshua:5:26 @They raised over him a great heap of stones that stands to this day, and the LORD turned from the fierceness of His anger. Therefore the name of that place has been called the valley of Achor to this day.

nasb@Joshua:5:8 @Now the LORD said to Joshua, " Do not fear or be dismayed. Take all the people of war with you and arise, go up to Ai; see, I have given into your hand the king of Ai, his people, his city, and his land.

nasb@Joshua:5:2" @You shall do to Ai and its king just as you did to Jericho and its king; you shall take only its spoil and its cattle as plunder for yourselves. Set an ambush for the city behind it."

nasb@Joshua:5:4 @He commanded them, saying, "See, you are going to ambush the city from behind it. Do not go very far from the city, but all of you be ready.

nasb@Joshua:5:5" @Then I and all the people who are with me will approach the city. And when they come out to meet us as at the first, we will flee before them.

nasb@Joshua:5:8" @Then it will be when you have seized the city, that you shall set the city on fire. You shall do it according to the word of the LORD. See, I have commanded you."

nasb@Joshua:5:9 @So Joshua sent them away, and they went to the place of ambush and remained between Bethel and Ai, on the west side of Ai; but Joshua spent that night among the people.

nasb@Joshua:5:10 @Now Joshua rose early in the morning and mustered the people, and he went up with the elders of Israel before the people to Ai.

nasb@Joshua:5:11 @Then all the people of war who were with him went up and drew near and arrived in front of the city, and camped on the north side of Ai. Now there was a valley between him and Ai.

nasb@Joshua:5:14 @It came about when the king of Ai saw it, that the men of the city hurried and rose up early and went out to meet Israel in battle, he and all his people at the appointed place before the desert plain. But he did not know that there was an ambush against him behind the city.

nasb@Joshua:5:15 @Joshua and all Israel pretended to be beaten before them, and fled by the way of the wilderness.

nasb@Joshua:5:17 @So not a man was left in Ai or Bethel who had not gone out after Israel, and they left the city unguarded and pursued Israel.

nasb@Joshua:5:20 @When the men of Ai turned back and looked, behold, the smoke of the city ascended to the sky, and they had no place to flee this way or that, for the people who had been fleeing to the wilderness turned against the pursuers.

nasb@Joshua:6:18 @The sons of Israel did not strike them because the leaders of the congregation had sworn to them by the LORD the God of Israel. And the whole congregation grumbled against the leaders.

nasb@Joshua:6:20" @This we will do to them, even let them live, so that wrath will not be upon us for the oath which we swore to them."

nasb@Joshua:6:21 @The leaders said to them, "Let them live." So they became hewers of wood and drawers of water for the whole congregation, just as the leaders had spoken to them.

nasb@Joshua:6:23" @Now therefore, you are cursed, and you shall never cease being slaves, both hewers of wood and drawers of water for the house of my God."

nasb@Joshua:6:24 @So they answered Joshua and said, " Because it was certainly told your servants that the LORD your God had commanded His servant Moses to give you all the land, and to destroy all the inhabitants of the land before you; therefore we feared greatly for our lives because of you, and have done this thing.

nasb@Joshua:6:25" @Now behold, we are in your hands; do as it seems good and right in your sight to do to us."

nasb@Joshua:7:1 @Now it came about when Adoni-zedek king of Jerusalem heard that Joshua had captured Ai, and had utterly destroyed it (just as he had done to Jericho and its king, so he had done to Ai and its king), and that the inhabitants of Gibeon had made peace with Israel and were within their land,

nasb@Joshua:7:2 @that he feared greatly, because Gibeon was a great city, like one of the royal cities, and because it was greater than Ai, and all its men were mighty.

nasb@Joshua:7:4" @Come up to me and help me, and let us attack Gibeon, for it has made peace with Joshua and with the sons of Israel."

nasb@Joshua:7:5 @So 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 together and went up, they with all their armies, and camped by Gibeon and fought against it.

nasb@Joshua:7:6 @Then the men of Gibeon sent word to Joshua to the camp at Gilgal, saying, "Do not abandon your servants; come up to us quickly and save us and help us, for all the kings of the Amorites that live in the hill country have assembled against us."

nasb@Joshua:7:8 @The LORD said to Joshua, " Do not fear them, for I have given them into your hands; not one of them shall stand before you."

nasb@Joshua:7:10 @And the LORD confounded them before Israel, and He slew them with a great slaughter at Gibeon, and pursued them by the way of the ascent of Beth-horon and struck them as far as Azekah and Makkedah.

nasb@Joshua:7:11 @As they fled from before Israel, while they were at the descent of Beth-horon, the LORD threw large stones from heaven on them as far as Azekah, and they died; there were more who died from the hailstones than those whom the sons of Israel killed with the sword.

nasb@Joshua:7:12 @Then Joshua spoke to the LORD in the day when the LORD delivered up the Amorites before the sons of Israel, and he said in the sight of Israel, "O sun, stand still at Gibeon, And O moon in the valley of Aijalon."

nasb@Joshua:7:14 @There was no day like that before it or after it, when the LORD listened to the voice of a man; for the LORD fought for Israel.

nasb@Joshua:7:17 @It was told Joshua, saying, "The five kings have been found hidden in the cave at Makkedah."

nasb@Joshua:7:25 @Joshua then said to them, " Do not fear or be dismayed! Be strong and courageous, for thus the LORD will do to all your enemies with whom you fight."

nasb@Joshua:7:41 @Joshua struck them from Kadesh-barnea even as far as Gaza, and all the country of Goshen even as far as Gibeon.

nasb@Joshua:7:42 @Joshua captured all these kings and their lands at one time, because the LORD, the God of Israel, fought for Israel.

nasb@Joshua:8:6 @Then the LORD said to Joshua, " Do not be afraid because of them, for tomorrow at this time I will deliver all of them slain before Israel; you shall hamstring their horses and burn their chariots with fire."

nasb@Joshua:8:19 @There was not a city which made peace with the sons of Israel except the Hivites living in Gibeon; they took them all in battle.

nasb@Joshua:8:23 @So Joshua took the whole land, according to all that the LORD had spoken to Moses, and Joshua gave it for an inheritance to Israel according to their divisions by their tribes. Thus the land had rest from war.

nasb@Joshua:9:1 @Now these are the kings of the land whom the sons of Israel defeated, and whose land they possessed beyond the Jordan toward the sunrise, from the valley of the Arnon as far as Mount Hermon, and all the Arabah to the east-

nasb@Joshua:9:3 @and the Arabah as far as the Sea of Chinneroth toward the east, and as far as the sea of the Arabah, even the Salt Sea, eastward toward Beth-jeshimoth, and on the south, at the foot of the slopes of Pisgah;

nasb@Joshua:9:6 @Moses the servant of the LORD and the sons of Israel defeated them; and Moses the servant of the LORD gave it to the Reubenites and the Gadites and the half-tribe of Manasseh as a possession.

nasb@Joshua:9:7 @Now these are the kings of the land whom Joshua and the sons of Israel defeated beyond the Jordan toward the west, from Baal-gad in the valley of Lebanon even as far as Mount Halak, which rises toward Seir; and Joshua gave it to the tribes of Israel as a possession according to their divisions,

nasb@Joshua:9:9 @the king of Jericho, one; the king of Ai, which is beside Bethel, one;

nasb@Joshua:9:16 @the king of Makkedah, one; the king of Bethel, one;

nasb@Joshua:9:13 @Now Joshua was old and advanced in years when the LORD said to him, "You are old and advanced in years, and very much of the land remains to be possessed.

nasb@Joshua:9:4 @to the south, all the land of the Canaanite, and Mearah that belongs to the Sidonians, as far as Aphek, to the border of the Amorite;

nasb@Joshua:9:5 @and the land of the Gebalite, and all of Lebanon, toward the east, from Baal-gad below Mount Hermon as far as Lebo-hamath.

nasb@Joshua:9:6" @All the inhabitants of the hill country from Lebanon as far as Misrephoth-maim, all the Sidonians, I will drive them out from before the sons of Israel; only allot it to Israel for an inheritance as I have commanded you.

nasb@Joshua:9:7" @Now therefore, apportion this land for an inheritance to the nine tribes and the half-tribe of Manasseh."

nasb@Joshua:9:8 @With the other half-tribe, the Reubenites and the Gadites received their inheritance which Moses gave them beyond the Jordan to the east, just as Moses the servant of the LORD gave to them;

nasb@Joshua:9:14 @Only to the tribe of Levi he did not give an inheritance; the offerings by fire to the LORD, the God of Israel, are their inheritance, as He spoke to him.

nasb@Joshua:9:15 @So Moses gave an inheritance to the tribe of the sons of Reuben according to their families.

nasb@Joshua:9:17 @Heshbon, and all its cities which are on the plain- Dibon and Bamoth-baal and Beth-baal-meon,

nasb@Joshua:9:20 @and Beth-peor and the slopes of Pisgah and Beth-jeshimoth,

nasb@Joshua:9:22 @The sons of Israel also killed Balaam the son of Beor, the diviner, with the sword among the rest of their slain.

nasb@Joshua:9:23 @The border of the sons of Reuben was the Jordan. This was the inheritance of the sons of Reuben according to their families, the cities and their villages.

nasb@Joshua:9:24 @Moses also gave an inheritance to the tribe of Gad, to the sons of Gad, according to their families.

nasb@Joshua:9:25 @Their territory was Jazer, and all the cities of Gilead, and half the land of the sons of Ammon, as far as Aroer which is before Rabbah;

nasb@Joshua:9:26 @and from Heshbon as far as Ramath-mizpeh and Betonim, and from Mahanaim as far as the border of Debir;

nasb@Joshua:9:27 @and in the valley, Beth-haram and Beth-nimrah and Succoth and Zaphon, the rest of the kingdom of Sihon king of Heshbon, with the Jordan as a border, as far as the lower end of the Sea of Chinnereth beyond the Jordan to the east.

nasb@Joshua:9:29 @Moses also gave an inheritance to the half-tribe of Manasseh; and it was for the half-tribe of the sons of Manasseh according to their families.

nasb@Joshua:9:32 @These are the territories which Moses apportioned for an inheritance in the plains of Moab, beyond the Jordan at Jericho to the east.

nasb@Joshua:9:33 @But to the tribe of Levi, Moses did not give an inheritance; the LORD, the God of Israel, is their inheritance, as He had promised to them.

nasb@Joshua:10:1 @Now these are the territories which the sons of Israel inherited in the land of Canaan, which Eleazar the priest, and Joshua the son of Nun, and the heads of the households of the tribes of the sons of Israel apportioned to them for an inheritance,

nasb@Joshua:10:2 @by the lot of their inheritance, as the LORD commanded through Moses, for the nine tribes and the half-tribe.

nasb@Joshua:10:3 @For Moses had given the inheritance of the two tribes and the half-tribe beyond the Jordan; but he did not give an inheritance to the Levites among them.

nasb@Joshua:10:4 @For the sons of Joseph were two tribes, Manasseh and Ephraim, and they did not give a portion to the Levites in the land, except cities to live in, with their pasture lands for their livestock and for their property.

nasb@Joshua:10:9" @So Moses swore on that day, saying, 'Surely the land on which your foot has trodden will be an inheritance to you and to your children forever, because you have followed the LORD my God fully.'

nasb@Joshua:10:10" @Now behold, the LORD has let me live, just as He spoke, these forty-five years, from the time that the LORD spoke this word to Moses, when Israel walked in the wilderness; and now behold, I am eighty-five years old today.

nasb@Joshua:10:12" @Now then, give me this hill country about which the LORD spoke on that day, for you heard on that day that Anakim were there, with great fortified cities; perhaps the LORD will be with me, and I will drive them out as the LORD has spoken."

nasb@Joshua:10:14 @Therefore, Hebron became the inheritance of Caleb the son of Jephunneh the Kenizzite until this day, because he followed the LORD God of Israel fully.

nasb@Joshua:11:1 @Now the lot for the tribe of the sons of Judah according to their families reached the border of Edom, southward to the wilderness of Zin at the extreme south.

nasb@Joshua:11:4 @It continued to Azmon and proceeded to the brook of Egypt, and the border ended at the sea. This shall be your south border.

nasb@Joshua:11:6 @Then the border went up to Beth-hoglah, and continued on the north of Beth-arabah, and the border went up to the stone of Bohan the son of Reuben.

nasb@Joshua:11:8 @Then the border went up the valley of Ben-hinnom to the slope of the Jebusite on the south (that is, Jerusalem); and the border went up to the top of the mountain which is before the valley of Hinnom to the west, which is at the end of the valley of Rephaim toward the north.

nasb@Joshua:11:10 @The border turned about from Baalah westward to Mount Seir, and continued to the slope of Mount Jearim on the north (that is, Chesalon), and went down to Beth-shemesh and continued through Timnah.

nasb@Joshua:11:13 @Now he gave to Caleb the son of Jephunneh a portion among the sons of Judah, according to the command of the LORD to Joshua, namely, Kiriath-arba, Arba being the father of Anak (that is, Hebron).

nasb@Joshua:11:20 @This is the inheritance of the tribe of the sons of Judah according to their families.

nasb@Joshua:11:21 @Now the cities at the extremity of the tribe of the sons of Judah toward the border of Edom in the south were Kabzeel and Eder and Jagur,

nasb@Joshua:11:24 @Ziph and Telem and Bealoth,

nasb@Joshua:11:27 @and Hazar-gaddah and Heshmon and Beth-pelet,

nasb@Joshua:11:28 @and Hazar-shual and Beersheba and Biziothiah,

nasb@Joshua:11:41 @and Gederoth, Beth-dagon and Naamah and Makkedah; sixteen cities with their villages.

nasb@Joshua:11:53 @and Janum and Beth-tappuah and Aphekah,

nasb@Joshua:11:57 @Kain, Gibeah and Timnah; ten cities with their villages.

nasb@Joshua:11:58 @Halhul, Beth-zur and Gedor,

nasb@Joshua:11:59 @and Maarath and Beth-anoth and Eltekon; six cities with their villages.

nasb@Joshua:11:61 @In the wilderness- Beth-arabah, Middin and Secacah,

nasb@Joshua:12:1 @Then the lot for the sons of Joseph went from the Jordan at Jericho to the waters of Jericho on the east into the wilderness, going up from Jericho through the hill country to Bethel.

nasb@Joshua:12:2 @It went from Bethel to Luz, and continued to the border of the Archites at Ataroth.

nasb@Joshua:12:3 @It went down westward to the territory of the Japhletites, as far as the territory of lower Beth-horon even to Gezer, and it ended at the sea.

nasb@Joshua:12:5 @Now this was the territory of the sons of Ephraim according to their families- the border of their inheritance eastward was Ataroth-addar, as far as upper Beth-horon.

nasb@Joshua:12:6 @Then the border went westward at Michmethath on the north, and the border turned about eastward to Taanath-shiloh and continued beyond it to the east of Janoah.

nasb@Joshua:12:8 @From Tappuah the border continued westward to the brook of Kanah, and it ended at the sea. This is the inheritance of the tribe of the sons of Ephraim according to their families,

nasb@Joshua:12:10 @But they did not drive out the Canaanites who lived in Gezer, so the Canaanites live in the midst of Ephraim to this day, and they became forced laborers.

nasb@Joshua:13:1 @Now this was the lot for the tribe of Manasseh, for he was the firstborn of Joseph. To Machir the firstborn of Manasseh, the father of Gilead, were allotted Gilead and Bashan, because he was a man of war.

nasb@Joshua:13:4 @They came near before Eleazar the priest and before Joshua the son of Nun and before the leaders, saying, "The LORD commanded Moses to give us an inheritance among our brothers." So according to the command of the LORD he gave them an inheritance among their father's brothers.

nasb@Joshua:13:5 @Thus there fell ten portions to Manasseh, besides the land of Gilead and Bashan, which is beyond the Jordan,

nasb@Joshua:13:6 @because the daughters of Manasseh received an inheritance among his sons. And the land of Gilead belonged to the rest of the sons of Manasseh.

nasb@Joshua:13:8 @The land of Tappuah belonged to Manasseh, but Tappuah on the border of Manasseh belonged to the sons of Ephraim.

nasb@Joshua:13:9 @The border went down to the brook of Kanah, southward of the brook (these cities belonged to Ephraim among the cities of Manasseh), and the border of Manasseh was on the north side of the brook and it ended at the sea.

nasb@Joshua:13:10 @The south side belonged to Ephraim and the north side to Manasseh, and the sea was their border; and they reached to Asher on the north and to Issachar on the east.

nasb@Joshua:13:11 @In Issachar and in Asher, Manasseh had Beth-shean and its towns and Ibleam and its towns, and the inhabitants of Dor and its towns, and the inhabitants of En-dor and its towns, and the inhabitants of Taanach and its towns, and the inhabitants of Megiddo and its towns, the third is Napheth.

nasb@Joshua:13:12 @But the sons of Manasseh could not take possession of these cities, because the Canaanites persisted in living in that land.

nasb@Joshua:13:13 @It came about when the sons of Israel became strong, they put the Canaanites to forced labor, but they did not drive them out completely.

nasb@Joshua:13:16 @The sons of Joseph said, "The hill country is not enough for us, and all the Canaanites who live in the valley land have chariots of iron, both those who are in Beth-shean and its towns and those who are in the valley of Jezreel."

nasb@Joshua:13:18 @but the hill country shall be yours. For though it is a forest, you shall clear it, and to its farthest borders it shall be yours; for you shall drive out the Canaanites, even though they have chariots of iron and though they are strong."

nasb@Joshua:14:1 @Then the whole congregation of the sons of Israel assembled themselves at Shiloh, and set up the tent of meeting there; and the land was subdued before them.

nasb@Joshua:14:2 @There remained among the sons of Israel seven tribes who had not divided their inheritance.

nasb@Joshua:14:4" @Provide for yourselves three men from each tribe that I may send them, and that they may arise and walk through the land and write a description of it according to their inheritance; then they shall return to me.

nasb@Joshua:14:6" @You shall describe the land in seven divisions, and bring the description here to me. I will cast lots for you here before the LORD our God.

nasb@Joshua:14:7" @For the Levites have no portion among you, because the priesthood of the LORD is their inheritance. Gad and Reuben and the half-tribe of Manasseh also have received their inheritance eastward beyond the Jordan, which Moses the servant of the LORD gave them."

nasb@Joshua:14:8 @Then the men arose and went, and Joshua commanded those who went to describe the land, saying, "Go and walk through the land and describe it, and return to me; then I will cast lots for you here before the LORD in Shiloh."

nasb@Joshua:14:9 @So the men went and passed through the land, and described it by cities in seven divisions in a book; and they came to Joshua to the camp at Shiloh.

nasb@Joshua:14:10 @And Joshua cast lots for them in Shiloh before the LORD, and there Joshua divided the land to the sons of Israel according to their divisions.

nasb@Joshua:14:11 @Now the lot of the tribe of the sons of Benjamin came up according to their families, and the territory of their lot lay between the sons of Judah and the sons of Joseph.

nasb@Joshua:14:12 @Their border on the north side was from the Jordan, then the border went up to the side of Jericho on the north, and went up through the hill country westward, and it ended at the wilderness of Beth-aven.

nasb@Joshua:14:13 @From there the border continued to Luz, to the side of Luz (that is, Bethel) southward; and the border went down to Ataroth-addar, near the hill which lies on the south of lower Beth-horon.

nasb@Joshua:14:14 @The border extended from there and turned round on the west side southward, from the hill which lies before Beth-horon southward; and it ended at Kiriath-baal (that is, Kiriath-jearim), a city of the sons of Judah. This was the west side.

nasb@Joshua:14:16 @The border went down to the edge of the hill which is in the valley of Ben-hinnom, which is in the valley of Rephaim northward; and it went down to the valley of Hinnom, to the slope of the Jebusite southward, and went down to En-rogel.

nasb@Joshua:14:17 @It extended northward and went to En-shemesh and went to Geliloth, which is opposite the ascent of Adummim, and it went down to the stone of Bohan the son of Reuben.

nasb@Joshua:14:19 @The border continued to the side of Beth-hoglah northward; and the border ended at the north bay of the Salt Sea, at the south end of the Jordan. This was the south border.

nasb@Joshua:14:20 @Moreover, the Jordan was its border on the east side. This was the inheritance of the sons of Benjamin, according to their families and according to its borders all around.

nasb@Joshua:14:21 @Now the cities of the tribe of the sons of Benjamin according to their families were Jericho and Beth-hoglah and Emek-keziz,

nasb@Joshua:14:22 @and Beth-arabah and Zemaraim and Bethel,

nasb@Joshua:14:25 @Gibeon and Ramah and Beeroth,

nasb@Joshua:14:28 @and Zelah, Haeleph and the Jebusite (that is, Jerusalem), Gibeah, Kiriath; fourteen cities with their villages. This is the inheritance of the sons of Benjamin according to their families.

nasb@Joshua:15:1 @Then the second lot fell to Simeon, to the tribe of the sons of Simeon according to their families, and their inheritance was in the midst of the inheritance of the sons of Judah.

nasb@Joshua:15:2 @So they had as their inheritance Beersheba or Sheba and Moladah,

nasb@Joshua:15:4 @and Eltolad and Bethul and Hormah,

nasb@Joshua:15:5 @and Ziklag and Beth-marcaboth and Hazar-susah,

nasb@Joshua:15:6 @and Beth-lebaoth and Sharuhen; thirteen cities with their villages;

nasb@Joshua:15:8 @and all the villages which were around these cities as far as Baalath-beer, Ramah of the Negev. This was the inheritance of the tribe of the sons of Simeon according to their families.

nasb@Joshua:15:11 @Then their border went up to the west and to Maralah, it then touched Dabbesheth and reached to the brook that is before Jokneam.

nasb@Joshua:15:12 @Then it turned from Sarid to the east toward the sunrise as far as the border of Chisloth-tabor, and it proceeded to Daberath and up to Japhia.

nasb@Joshua:15:15 @Included also were Kattah and Nahalal and Shimron and Idalah and Bethlehem; twelve cities with their villages.

nasb@Joshua:15:20 @and Rabbith and Kishion and Ebez,

nasb@Joshua:15:21 @and Remeth and En-gannim and En-haddah and Beth-pazzez.

nasb@Joshua:15:22 @The border reached to Tabor and Shahazumah and Beth-shemesh, and their border ended at the Jordan; sixteen cities with their villages.

nasb@Joshua:15:23 @This was the inheritance of the tribe of the sons of Issachar according to their families, the cities with their villages.

nasb@Joshua:15:24 @Now the fifth lot fell to the tribe of the sons of Asher according to their families.

nasb@Joshua:15:25 @Their territory was Helkath and Hali and Beten and Achshaph,

nasb@Joshua:15:27 @It turned toward the east to Beth-dagon and reached to Zebulun, and to the valley of Iphtahel northward to Beth-emek and Neiel; then it proceeded on north to Cabul,

nasb@Joshua:15:38 @and Yiron and Migdal-el, Horem and Beth-anath and Beth-shemesh; nineteen cities with their villages.

nasb@Joshua:15:39 @This was the inheritance of the tribe of the sons of Naphtali according to their families, the cities with their villages.

nasb@Joshua:15:40 @The seventh lot fell to the tribe of the sons of Dan according to their families.

nasb@Joshua:15:44 @and Eltekeh and Gibbethon and Baalath,

nasb@Joshua:15:45 @and Jehud and Bene-berak and Gath-rimmon,

nasb@Joshua:15:47 @The territory of the sons of Dan proceeded beyond them; for the sons of Dan went up and fought with Leshem and captured it. Then they struck it with the edge of the sword and possessed it and settled in it; and they called Leshem Dan after the name of Dan their father.

nasb@Joshua:15:48 @This was the inheritance of the tribe of the sons of Dan according to their families, these cities with their villages.

nasb@Joshua:15:51 @These are the inheritances which Eleazar the priest, and Joshua the son of Nun, and the heads of the households of the tribes of the sons of Israel distributed by lot in Shiloh before the LORD at the doorway of the tent of meeting. So they finished dividing the land.

nasb@Joshua:15:3 @that the manslayer who kills any person unintentionally, without premeditation, may flee there, and they shall become your refuge from the avenger of blood.

nasb@Joshua:15:8 @Beyond the Jordan east of Jericho, they designated Bezer in the wilderness on the plain from the tribe of Reuben, and Ramoth in Gilead from the tribe of Gad, and Golan in Bashan from the tribe of Manasseh.

nasb@Joshua:15:9 @These were the appointed cities for all the sons of Israel and for the stranger who sojourns among them, that whoever kills any person unintentionally may flee there, and not die by the hand of the avenger of blood until he stands before the congregation.

nasb@Joshua:16:1 @Then the heads of households of the Levites approached Eleazar the priest, and Joshua the son of Nun, and the heads of households of the tribes of the sons of Israel.

nasb@Joshua:16:4 @Then the lot came out for the families of the Kohathites. And the sons of Aaron the priest, who were of the Levites, received thirteen cities by lot from the tribe of Judah and from the tribe of the Simeonites and from the tribe of Benjamin.

nasb@Joshua:17:10 @When they came to the region of the Jordan which is in the land of Canaan, the sons of Reuben and the sons of Gad and the half-tribe of Manasseh built an altar there by the Jordan, a large altar in appearance.

nasb@Joshua:17:11 @And the sons of Israel heard it said, "Behold, the sons of Reuben and the sons of Gad and the half-tribe of Manasseh have built an altar at the frontier of the land of Canaan, in the region of the Jordan, on the side belonging to the sons of Israel."

nasb@Joshua:17:13 @Then the sons of Israel sent to the sons of Reuben and to the sons of Gad and to the half-tribe of Manasseh, into the land of Gilead, Phinehas the son of Eleazar the priest,

nasb@Joshua:17:14 @and with him ten chiefs, one chief for each father's household from each of the tribes of Israel; and each one of them was the head of his father's household among the thousands of Israel.

nasb@Joshua:17:15 @They came to the sons of Reuben and to the sons of Gad and to the half-tribe of Manasseh, to the land of Gilead, and they spoke with them saying,

nasb@Joshua:17:16" @Thus says the whole congregation of the LORD, 'What is this unfaithful act which you have committed against the God of Israel, turning away from following the LORD this day, by building yourselves an altar, to rebel against the LORD this day?

nasb@Joshua:17:18 @that you must turn away this day from following the LORD? If you rebel against the LORD today, He will be angry with the whole congregation of Israel tomorrow.

nasb@Joshua:17:19 @'If, however, the land of your possession is unclean, then cross into the land of the possession of the LORD, where the LORD'S tabernacle stands, and take possession among us. Only do not rebel against the LORD, or rebel against us by building an altar for yourselves, besides the altar of the LORD our God.

nasb@Joshua:17:21 @Then the sons of Reuben and the sons of Gad and the half-tribe of Manasseh answered and spoke to the heads of the families of Israel.

nasb@Joshua:17:22" @The Mighty One, God, the LORD, the Mighty One, God, the LORD! He knows, and may Israel itself know. If it was in rebellion, or if in an unfaithful act against the LORD do not save us this day!

nasb@Joshua:17:25" @For the LORD has made the Jordan a border between us and you, you sons of Reuben and sons of Gad; you have no portion in the LORD." So your sons may make our sons stop fearing the LORD.'

nasb@Joshua:17:27 @rather it shall be a witness between us and you and between our generations after us, that we are to perform the service of the LORD before Him with our burnt offerings, and with our sacrifices and with our peace offerings, so that your sons will not say to our sons in time to come, "You have no portion in the LORD."'

nasb@Joshua:17:28" @Therefore we said, 'It shall also come about if they say this to us or to our generations in time to come, then we shall say, "See the copy of the altar of the LORD which our fathers made, not for burnt offering or for sacrifice; rather it is a witness between us and you."'

nasb@Joshua:17:29" @Far be it from us that we should rebel against the LORD and turn away from following the LORD this day, by building an altar for burnt offering, for grain offering or for sacrifice, besides the altar of the LORD our God which is before His tabernacle."

nasb@Joshua:17:30 @So when Phinehas the priest and the leaders of the congregation, even the heads of the families of Israel who were with him, heard the words which the sons of Reuben and the sons of Gad and the sons of Manasseh spoke, it pleased them.

nasb@Joshua:17:31 @And Phinehas the son of Eleazar the priest said to the sons of Reuben and to the sons of Gad and to the sons of Manasseh, "Today we know that the LORD is in our midst, because you have not committed this unfaithful act against the LORD; now you have delivered the sons of Israel from the hand of the LORD."

nasb@Joshua:17:32 @Then Phinehas the son of Eleazar the priest and the leaders returned from the sons of Reuben and from the sons of Gad, from the land of Gilead to the land of Canaan, to the sons of Israel, and brought back word to them.

nasb@Joshua:17:33 @The word pleased the sons of Israel, and the sons of Israel blessed God; and they did not speak of going up against them in war to destroy the land in which the sons of Reuben and the sons of Gad were living.

nasb@Joshua:17:34 @The sons of Reuben and the sons of Gad called the altar Witness; "For," they said, "it is a witness between us that the LORD is God."

nasb@Joshua:18:3" @And you have seen all that the LORD your God has done to all these nations because of you, for the LORD your God is He who has been fighting for you.

nasb@Joshua:18:4" @See, I have apportioned to you these nations which remain as an inheritance for your tribes, with all the nations which I have cut off, from the Jordan even to the Great Sea toward the setting of the sun.

nasb@Joshua:18:5" @The LORD your God, He will thrust them out from before you and drive them from before you; and you will possess their land, just as the LORD your God promised you.

nasb@Joshua:18:6" @ Be very firm, then, to keep and do all that is written in the book of the law of Moses, so that you may not turn aside from it to the right hand or to the left,

nasb@Joshua:18:9" @ For the LORD has driven out great and strong nations from before you; and as for you, no man has stood before you to this day.

nasb@Joshua:18:13 @know with certainty that the LORD your God will not continue to drive these nations out from before you; but they will be a snare and a trap to you, and a whip on your sides and thorns in your eyes, until you perish from off this good land which the LORD your God has given you.

nasb@Joshua:18:14" @Now behold, today I am going the way of all the earth, and you know in all your hearts and in all your souls that not one word of all the good words which the LORD your God spoke concerning you has failed; all have been fulfilled for you, not one of them has failed.

nasb@Joshua:19:1 @Then Joshua gathered all the tribes of Israel to Shechem, and called for the elders of Israel and for their heads and their judges and their officers; and they presented themselves before God.

nasb@Joshua:19:2 @Joshua said to all the people, "Thus says the LORD, the God of Israel, 'From ancient times your fathers lived beyond the River, namely, Terah, the father of Abraham and the father of Nahor, and they served other gods.

nasb@Joshua:19:3 @'Then I took your father Abraham from beyond the River, and led him through all the land of Canaan, and multiplied his descendants and gave him Isaac.

nasb@Joshua:19:7 @'But when they cried out to the LORD, He put darkness between you and the Egyptians, and brought the sea upon them and covered them; and your own eyes saw what I did in Egypt. And you lived in the wilderness for a long time.

nasb@Joshua:19:8 @'Then I brought you into the land of the Amorites who lived beyond the Jordan, and they fought with you; and I gave them into your hand, and you took possession of their land when I destroyed them before you.

nasb@Joshua:19:9 @'Then Balak the son of Zippor, king of Moab, arose and fought against Israel, and he sent and summoned Balaam the son of Beor to curse you.

nasb@Joshua:19:12 @'Then I sent the hornet before you and it drove out the two kings of the Amorites from before you, but not by your sword or your bow.

nasb@Joshua:19:14" @Now, therefore, fear the LORD and serve Him in sincerity and truth; and put away the gods which your fathers served beyond the River and in Egypt, and serve the LORD.

nasb@Joshua:19:15" @If it is disagreeable in your sight to serve the LORD, choose for yourselves today whom you will serve- whether the gods which your fathers served which were beyond the River, or the gods of the Amorites in whose land you are living; but as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD."

nasb@Joshua:19:16 @The people answered and said, "Far be it from us that we should forsake the LORD to serve other gods;

nasb@Joshua:19:18" @The LORD drove out from before us all the peoples, even the Amorites who lived in the land. We also will serve the LORD, for He is our God."

nasb@Joshua:19:19 @Then Joshua said to the people, "You will not be able to serve the LORD, for He is a holy God. He is a jealous God; He will not forgive your transgression or your sins.

nasb@Joshua:19:24 @The people said to Joshua, "We will serve the LORD our God and we will obey His voice."

nasb@Joshua:19:27 @Joshua said to all the people, "Behold, this stone shall be for a witness against us, for it has heard all the words of the LORD which He spoke to us; thus it shall be for a witness against you, so that you do not deny your God."

nasb@Joshua:19:29 @It came about after these things that Joshua the son of Nun, the servant of the LORD, died, being one hundred and ten years old.

nasb@Joshua:19:32 @Now they buried the bones of Joseph, which the sons of Israel brought up from Egypt, at Shechem, in the piece of ground which Jacob had bought from the sons of Hamor the father of Shechem for one hundred pieces of money; and they became the inheritance of Joseph's sons.

nasb@Joshua:19:33 @And Eleazar the son of Aaron died; and they buried him at Gibeah of Phinehas his son, which was given him in the hill country of Ephraim.

nasb@Judges:1:2 @The LORD said, " Judah shall go up; behold, I have given the land into his hand."

nasb@Judges:1:4 @Judah went up, and the LORD gave the Canaanites and the Perizzites into their hands, and they defeated ten thousand men at Bezek.

nasb@Judges:1:5 @They found Adoni-bezek in Bezek and fought against him, and they defeated the Canaanites and the Perizzites.

nasb@Judges:1:6 @But Adoni-bezek fled; and they pursued him and caught him and cut off his thumbs and big toes.

nasb@Judges:1:7 @Adoni-bezek said, "Seventy kings with their thumbs and their big toes cut off used to gather up scraps under my table; as I have done, so God has repaid me." So they brought him to Jerusalem and he died there.

nasb@Judges:1:19 @Now the LORD was with Judah, and they took possession of the hill country; but they could not drive out the inhabitants of the valley because they had iron chariots.

nasb@Judges:1:21 @But the sons of Benjamin did not drive out the Jebusites who lived in Jerusalem; so the Jebusites have lived with the sons of Benjamin in Jerusalem to this day.

nasb@Judges:1:22 @Likewise the house of Joseph went up against Bethel, and the LORD was with them.

nasb@Judges:1:23 @The house of Joseph spied out Bethel ( now the name of the city was formerly Luz).

nasb@Judges:1:27 @But Manasseh did not take possession of Beth-shean and its villages, or Taanach and its villages, or the inhabitants of Dor and its villages, or the inhabitants of Ibleam and its villages, or the inhabitants of Megiddo and its villages; so the Canaanites persisted in living in that land.

nasb@Judges:1:28 @It came about when Israel became strong, that they put the Canaanites to forced labor, but they did not drive them out completely.

nasb@Judges:1:30 @Zebulun did not drive out the inhabitants of Kitron, or the inhabitants of Nahalol; so the Canaanites lived among them and became subject to forced labor.

nasb@Judges:1:33 @Naphtali did not drive out the inhabitants of Beth-shemesh, or the inhabitants of Beth-anath, but lived among the Canaanites, the inhabitants of the land; and the inhabitants of Beth-shemesh and Beth-anath became forced labor for them.

nasb@Judges:1:35 @yet the Amorites persisted in living in Mount Heres, in Aijalon and in Shaalbim; but when the power of the house of Joseph grew strong, they became forced labor.

nasb@Judges:2:2 @and as for you, you shall make no covenant with the inhabitants of this land; you shall tear down their altars.' But you have not obeyed Me; what is this you have done?

nasb@Judges:2:3" @Therefore I also said, ' I will not drive them out before you; but they will become as thorns in your sides and their gods will be a snare to you.'"

nasb@Judges:2:14 @The anger of the LORD burned against Israel, and He gave them into the hands of plunderers who plundered them; and He sold them into the hands of their enemies around them, so that they could no longer stand before their enemies.

nasb@Judges:2:17 @Yet they did not listen to their judges, for they played the harlot after other gods and bowed themselves down to them. They turned aside quickly from the way in which their fathers had walked in obeying the commandments of the LORD; they did not do as their fathers.

nasb@Judges:2:18 @When the LORD raised up judges for them, the LORD was with the judge and delivered them from the hand of their enemies all the days of the judge; for the LORD was moved to pity by their groaning because of those who oppressed and afflicted them.

nasb@Judges:2:20 @So the anger of the LORD burned against Israel, and He said, "Because this nation has transgressed My covenant which I commanded their fathers and has not listened to My voice,

nasb@Judges:2:21 @I also will no longer drive out before them any of the nations which Joshua left when he died,

nasb@Judges:3:2 @only in order that the generations of the sons of Israel might be taught war, those who had not experienced it formerly).

nasb@Judges:3:4 @They were for testing Israel, to find out if they would obey the commandments of the LORD, which He had commanded their fathers through Moses.

nasb@Judges:3:12 @Now the sons of Israel again did evil in the sight of the LORD. So the LORD strengthened Eglon the king of Moab against Israel, because they had done evil in the sight of the LORD.

nasb@Judges:3:15 @But when the sons of Israel cried to the LORD, the LORD raised up a deliverer for them, Ehud the son of Gera, the Benjamite, a left-handed man. And the sons of Israel sent tribute by him to Eglon the king of Moab.

nasb@Judges:3:20 @Ehud came to him while he was sitting alone in his cool roof chamber. And Ehud said, "I have a message from God for you." And he arose from his seat.

nasb@Judges:3:21 @Ehud stretched out his left hand, took the sword from his right thigh and thrust it into his belly.

nasb@Judges:3:22 @The handle also went in after the blade, and the fat closed over the blade, for he did not draw the sword out of his belly; and the refuse came out.

nasb@Judges:3:23 @Then Ehud went out into the vestibule and shut the doors of the roof chamber behind him, and locked them.

nasb@Judges:3:24 @When he had gone out, his servants came and looked, and behold, the doors of the roof chamber were locked; and they said, " He is only relieving himself in the cool room."

nasb@Judges:3:25 @They waited until they became anxious; but behold, he did not open the doors of the roof chamber. Therefore they took the key and opened them, and behold, their master had fallen to the floor dead.

nasb@Judges:3:30 @So Moab was subdued that day under the hand of Israel. And the land was undisturbed for eighty years.

nasb@Judges:4:5 @She used to sit under the palm tree of Deborah between Ramah and Bethel in the hill country of Ephraim; and the sons of Israel came up to her for judgment.

nasb@Judges:4:6 @Now she sent and summoned Barak the son of Abinoam from Kedesh-naphtali, and said to him, "Behold, the LORD, the God of Israel, has commanded, 'Go and march to Mount Tabor, and take with you ten thousand men from the sons of Naphtali and from the sons of Zebulun.

nasb@Judges:4:9 @She said, "I will surely go with you; nevertheless, the honor shall not be yours on the journey that you are about to take, for the LORD will sell Sisera into the hands of a woman." Then Deborah arose and went with Barak to Kedesh.

nasb@Judges:4:11 @Now Heber the Kenite had separated himself from the Kenites, from the sons of Hobab the father-in-law of Moses, and had pitched his tent as far away as the oak in Zaanannim, which is near Kedesh.

nasb@Judges:4:14 @Deborah said to Barak, "Arise! For this is the day in which the LORD has given Sisera into your hands; behold, the LORD has gone out before you." So Barak went down from Mount Tabor with ten thousand men following him.

nasb@Judges:4:15 @The LORD routed Sisera and all his chariots and all his army with the edge of the sword before Barak; and Sisera alighted from his chariot and fled away on foot.

nasb@Judges:4:17 @Now Sisera fled away 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.

nasb@Judges:4:18 @Jael went out to meet Sisera, and said to him, "Turn aside, my master, turn aside to me! Do not be afraid." And he turned aside to her into the tent, and she covered him with a rug.

nasb@Judges:4:20 @He said to her, "Stand in the doorway of the tent, and it shall be if anyone comes and inquires of you, and says, 'Is there anyone here?' that you shall say, 'No.'"

nasb@Judges:4:21 @But Jael, Heber's wife, took a tent peg and seized a hammer in her hand, and went secretly to him and drove the peg into his temple, and it went through into the ground; for he was sound asleep and exhausted. So he died.

nasb@Judges:4:22 @And behold, as Barak pursued Sisera, Jael came out to meet him and said to him, "Come, and I will show you the man whom you are seeking." And he entered with her, and behold Sisera was lying dead with the tent peg in his temple.

nasb@Judges:4:23 @So God subdued on that day Jabin the king of Canaan before the sons of Israel.

nasb@Judges:4:14" @From Ephraim those whose root is in Amalek came down, Following you, Benjamin, with your peoples; From Machir commanders came down, And from Zebulun those who wield the staff of office.

nasb@Judges:4:15" @And the princes of Issachar were with Deborah; As was Issachar, so was Barak; Into the valley they rushed at his heels; Among the divisions of Reuben There were great resolves of heart.

nasb@Judges:4:16" @Why did you sit among the sheepfolds, To hear the piping for the flocks? Among the divisions of Reuben There were great searchings of heart.

nasb@Judges:4:22" @ Then the horses' hoofs beat From the dashing, the dashing of his valiant steeds.

nasb@Judges:4:23 @'Curse Meroz,' said the angel of the LORD, 'Utterly curse its inhabitants; Because they did not come to the help of the LORD, To the help of the LORD against the warriors.'

nasb@Judges:4:24" @ Most blessed of women is Jael, The wife of Heber the Kenite; Most blessed is she of women in the tent.

nasb@Judges:4:27" @Between her feet he bowed, he fell, he lay; Between her feet he bowed, he fell; Where he bowed, there he fell dead.

nasb@Judges:4:28" @Out of the window she looked and lamented, The mother of Sisera through the lattice, 'Why does his chariot delay in coming? Why do the hoofbeats of his chariots tarry?'

nasb@Judges:4:31" @ Thus let all Your enemies perish, O LORD; But let those who love Him be like the rising of the sun in its might." And the land was undisturbed for forty years.

nasb@Judges:5:2 @The power of Midian prevailed against Israel. Because of Midian the sons of Israel made for themselves the dens which were in the mountains and the caves and the strongholds.

nasb@Judges:5:5 @For they would come up with their livestock and their tents, they would come in like locusts for number, both they and their camels were innumerable; and they came into the land to devastate it.

nasb@Judges:5:6 @So Israel was brought very low because of Midian, and the sons of Israel cried to the LORD.

nasb@Judges:5:9 @'I delivered you from the hands of the Egyptians and from the hands of all your oppressors, and dispossessed them before you and gave you their land,

nasb@Judges:5:10 @and I said to you, "I am the LORD your God; you shall not fear the gods of the Amorites in whose land you live. But you have not obeyed Me."'"

nasb@Judges:5:11 @Then the angel of the LORD came and sat under the oak that was in Ophrah, which belonged to Joash the Abiezrite as his son Gideon was beating out wheat in the wine press in order to save it from the Midianites.

nasb@Judges:5:15 @He said to Him, "O Lord, how shall I deliver Israel? Behold, my family is the least in Manasseh, and I am the youngest in my father's house."

nasb@Judges:5:16 @But the LORD said to him, "Surely I will be with you, and you shall defeat Midian as one man."

nasb@Judges:5:18" @Please do not depart from here, until I come back to You, and bring out my offering and lay it before You." And He said, "I will remain until you return."

nasb@Judges:5:25 @Now on the same night the LORD said to him, "Take your father's bull and a second bull seven years old, and pull down the altar of Baal which belongs to your father, and cut down the Asherah that is beside it;

nasb@Judges:5:27 @Then Gideon took ten men of his servants and did as the LORD had spoken to him; and because he was too afraid of his father's household and the men of the city to do it by day, he did it by night.

nasb@Judges:5:28 @When the men of the city arose early in the morning, behold, the altar of Baal was torn down, and the Asherah which was beside it was cut down, and the second bull was offered on the altar which had been built.

nasb@Judges:5:30 @Then the men of the city said to Joash, "Bring out your son, that he may die, for he has torn down the altar of Baal, and indeed, he has cut down the Asherah which was beside it."

nasb@Judges:5:31 @But Joash said to all who stood against him, "Will you contend for Baal, or will you deliver him? Whoever will plead for him shall be put to death by morning. If he is a god, let him contend for himself, because someone has torn down his altar."

nasb@Judges:5:32 @Therefore on that day he named him Jerubbaal, that is to say, "Let Baal contend against him," because he had torn down his altar.

nasb@Judges:5:37 @behold, I will put a fleece of wool on the threshing floor. If there is dew on the fleece only, and it is dry on all the ground, then I will know that You will deliver Israel through me, as You have spoken."

nasb@Judges:5:39 @Then Gideon said to God, " Do not let Your anger burn against me that I may speak once more; please let me make a test once more with the fleece, let it now be dry only on the fleece, and let there be dew on all the ground."

nasb@Judges:6:1 @Then Jerubbaal (that is, Gideon) and all the people who were with him, rose early and camped beside the spring of Harod; and the camp of Midian was on the north side of them by the hill of Moreh in the valley.

nasb@Judges:6:2 @The LORD said to Gideon, "The people who are with you are too many for Me to give Midian into their hands, for Israel would become boastful, saying, 'My own power has delivered me.'

nasb@Judges:6:4 @Then the LORD said to Gideon, "The people are still too many; bring them down to the water and I will test them for you there. Therefore it shall be that he of whom I say to you, 'This one shall go with you,' he shall go with you; but everyone of whom I say to you, 'This one shall not go with you,' he shall not go."

nasb@Judges:6:6 @Now the number of those who lapped, putting their hand to their mouth, was 300 men; but all the rest of the people kneeled to drink water.

nasb@Judges:6:8 @So the 300 men took the people's provisions and their trumpets into their hands. And Gideon sent all the other men of Israel, each to his tent, but retained the 300 men; and the camp of Midian was below him in the valley.

nasb@Judges:6:11 @and you will hear what they say; and afterward your hands will be strengthened that you may go down against the camp." So he went with Purah his servant down to the outposts of the army that was in the camp.

nasb@Judges:6:12 @Now the Midianites and the Amalekites and all the sons of the east were lying in the valley as numerous as locusts; and their camels were without number, as numerous as the sand on the seashore.

nasb@Judges:6:13 @When Gideon came, behold, a man was relating a dream to his friend. And he said, "Behold, I had a dream; a loaf of barley bread was tumbling into the camp of Midian, and it came to the tent and struck it so that it fell, and turned it upside down so that the tent lay flat."

nasb@Judges:6:17 @He said to them, "Look at me and do likewise. And behold, when I come to the outskirts of the camp, do as I do.

nasb@Judges:6:19 @So Gideon and the hundred men who were with him came to the outskirts of the camp at the beginning of the middle watch, when they had just posted the watch; and they blew the trumpets and smashed the pitchers that were in their hands.

nasb@Judges:6:22 @When they blew 300 trumpets, the LORD set the sword of one against another even throughout the whole army; and the army fled as far as Beth-shittah toward Zererah, as far as the edge of Abel-meholah, by Tabbath.

nasb@Judges:6:24 @Gideon sent messengers throughout all the hill country of Ephraim, saying, "Come down against Midian and take the waters before them, as far as Beth-barah and the Jordan." So all the men of Ephraim were summoned and they took the waters as far as Beth-barah and the Jordan.

nasb@Judges:7:2 @But he said to them, "What have I done now in comparison with you? Is not the gleaning of the grapes of Ephraim better than the vintage of Abiezer?

nasb@Judges:7:11 @Gideon went up by the way of those who lived in tents on the east of Nobah and Jogbehah, and attacked the camp when the camp was unsuspecting.

nasb@Judges:7:15 @He came to the men of Succoth and said, "Behold Zebah and Zalmunna, concerning whom you taunted me, saying, ' Are the hands of Zebah and Zalmunna already in your hand, that we should give bread to your men who are weary?'"

nasb@Judges:7:20 @So he said to Jether his firstborn, "Rise, kill them." But the youth did not draw his sword, for he was afraid, because he was still a youth.

nasb@Judges:7:24 @Yet Gideon said to them, "I would request of you, that each of you give me an earring from his spoil." (For they had gold earrings, because they were Ishmaelites.)

nasb@Judges:7:26 @The weight of the gold earrings that he requested was 1,700 shekels of gold, besides the crescent ornaments and the pendants and the purple robes which were on the kings of Midian, and besides the neck bands that were on their camels' necks.

nasb@Judges:7:27 @Gideon made it into an ephod, and placed it in his city, Ophrah, and all Israel played the harlot with it there, so that it became a snare to Gideon and his household.

nasb@Judges:7:28 @So Midian was subdued before the sons of Israel, and they did not lift up their heads anymore. And the land was undisturbed for forty years in the days of Gideon.

nasb@Judges:7:33 @Then it came about, as soon as Gideon was dead, that the sons of Israel again played the harlot with the Baals, and made Baal-berith their god.

nasb@Judges:7:34 @Thus the sons of Israel did not remember the LORD their God, who had delivered them from the hands of all their enemies on every side;

nasb@Judges:7:2" @Speak, now, in the hearing of all the leaders of Shechem, 'Which is better for you, that seventy men, all the sons of Jerubbaal, rule over you, or that one man rule over you?' Also, remember that I am your bone and your flesh."

nasb@Judges:7:4 @They gave him seventy pieces of silver from the house of Baal-berith with which Abimelech hired worthless and reckless fellows, and they followed him.

nasb@Judges:7:6 @All the men of Shechem and all Beth-millo assembled together, and they went and made Abimelech king, by the oak of the pillar which was in Shechem.

nasb@Judges:7:18 @but you have risen against my father's house today and have killed his sons, seventy men, on one stone, and have made Abimelech, the son of his maidservant, king over the men of Shechem, because he is your relative--

nasb@Judges:7:20" @But if not, let fire come out from Abimelech and consume the men of Shechem and Beth-millo; and let fire come out from the men of Shechem and from Beth-millo, and consume Abimelech."

nasb@Judges:7:21 @Then Jotham escaped and fled, and went to Beer and remained there because of Abimelech his brother.

nasb@Judges:7:23 @Then God sent an evil spirit between Abimelech and the men of Shechem; and the men of Shechem dealt treacherously with Abimelech,

nasb@Judges:7:24 @so that the violence done to the seventy sons of Jerubbaal might come, and their blood might be laid on Abimelech their brother, who killed them, and on the men of Shechem, who strengthened his hands to kill his brothers.

nasb@Judges:7:25 @The men of Shechem set men in ambush against him on the tops of the mountains, and they robbed all who might pass by them along the road; and it was told to Abimelech.

nasb@Judges:7:26 @Now Gaal the son of Ebed came with his relatives, and crossed over into Shechem; and the men of Shechem put their trust in him.

nasb@Judges:7:28 @Then 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 is Zebul not his lieutenant? Serve the men of Hamor the father of Shechem; but why should we serve him?

nasb@Judges:7:30 @When Zebul the ruler of the city heard the words of Gaal the son of Ebed, his anger burned.

nasb@Judges:7:31 @He sent messengers to Abimelech deceitfully, saying, "Behold, Gaal the son of Ebed and his relatives have come to Shechem; and behold, they are stirring up the city against you.

nasb@Judges:7:33" @In the morning, as soon as the sun is up, you shall rise early and rush upon the city; and behold, when he and the people who are with him come out against you, you shall do to them whatever you can."

nasb@Judges:7:35 @Now Gaal the son of Ebed went out and stood in the entrance of the city gate; and Abimelech and the people who were with him arose from the ambush.

nasb@Judges:7:37 @Gaal spoke again and said, "Behold, people are coming down from the highest part of the land, and one company comes by the way of the diviners' oak."

nasb@Judges:7:39 @So Gaal went out before the leaders of Shechem and fought with Abimelech.

nasb@Judges:7:40 @Abimelech chased him, and he fled before him; and many fell wounded up to the entrance of the gate.

nasb@Judges:7:46 @When all the leaders of the tower of Shechem heard of it, they entered the inner chamber of the temple of El-berith.

nasb@Judges:7:49 @All the people also cut down each one his branch and followed Abimelech, and put them on the inner chamber and set the inner chamber on fire over those inside, so that all the men of the tower of Shechem also died, about a thousand men and women.

nasb@Judges:7:50 @Then Abimelech went to Thebez, and he camped against Thebez and captured it.

nasb@Judges:7:54 @Then he called quickly to the young man, his armor bearer, and said to him, "Draw your sword and kill me, so that it will not be said of me, 'A woman slew him.'" So the young man pierced him through, and he died.

nasb@Judges:8:8 @They afflicted and crushed the sons of Israel that year; for eighteen years they afflicted all the sons of Israel who were beyond the Jordan in Gilead in the land of the Amorites.

nasb@Judges:8:9 @The sons of Ammon crossed the Jordan to fight also against Judah, Benjamin, and the house of Ephraim, so that Israel was greatly distressed.

nasb@Judges:8:16 @So they put away the foreign gods from among them and served the LORD; and He could bear the misery of Israel no longer.

nasb@Judges:8:18 @The people, the leaders of Gilead, said to one another, "Who is the man who will begin to fight against the sons of AmmonNULL He shall become head over all the inhabitants of Gilead."

nasb@Judges:9:6 @and they said to Jephthah, "Come and be our chief that we may fight against the sons of Ammon."

nasb@Judges:9:8 @The elders of Gilead said to Jephthah, "For this reason we have now returned to you, that you may go with us and fight with the sons of Ammon and become head over all the inhabitants of Gilead."

nasb@Judges:9:9 @So Jephthah said to the elders of Gilead, "If you take me back to fight against the sons of Ammon and the LORD gives them up to me, will I become your head?"

nasb@Judges:9:10 @The elders of Gilead said to Jephthah, " The LORD is witness between us; surely we will do as you have said."

nasb@Judges:9:11 @Then Jephthah went with the elders of Gilead, and the people made him head and chief over them; and Jephthah spoke all his words before the LORD at Mizpah.

nasb@Judges:9:12 @Now Jephthah sent messengers to the king of the sons of Ammon, saying, "What is between you and me, that you have come to me to fight against my land?"

nasb@Judges:9:13 @The king of the sons of Ammon said to the messengers of Jephthah, "Because Israel took away my land when they came up from Egypt, from the Arnon as far as the Jabbok and the Jordan; therefore, return them peaceably now."

nasb@Judges:9:18 @'Then they went through the wilderness and around the land of Edom and the land of Moab, and came to the east side of the land of Moab, and they camped beyond the Arnon; but they did not enter the territory of Moab, for the Arnon was the border of Moab.

nasb@Judges:9:23 @'Since now the LORD, the God of Israel, drove out the Amorites from before His people Israel, are you then to possess it?

nasb@Judges:9:24 @'Do you not possess what Chemosh your god gives you to possess? So whatever the LORD our God has driven out before us, we will possess it.

nasb@Judges:9:25 @'Now are you any better than Balak the son of Zippor, king of Moab? Did he ever strive with Israel, or did he ever fight against them?

nasb@Judges:9:27 @'I therefore have not sinned against you, but you are doing me wrong by making war against me; may the LORD, the Judge, judge today between the sons of Israel and the sons of Ammon.'"

nasb@Judges:9:31 @then it shall be that whatever comes out of the doors of my house to meet me when I return in peace from the sons of Ammon, it shall be the LORD'S, and I will offer it up as a burnt offering."

nasb@Judges:9:33 @He struck them with a very great slaughter from Aroer to the entrance of Minnith, twenty cities, and as far as Abel-keramim. So the sons of Ammon were subdued before the sons of Israel.

nasb@Judges:9:34 @When Jephthah came to his house at Mizpah, behold, his daughter was coming out to meet him with tambourines and with dancing. Now she was his one and only child; besides her he had no son or daughter.

nasb@Judges:9:37 @She said to her father, "Let this thing be done for me; let me alone two months, that I may go to the mountains and weep because of my virginity, I and my companions."

nasb@Judges:9:38 @Then he said, "Go." So he sent her away for two months; and she left with her companions, and wept on the mountains because of her virginity.

nasb@Judges:9:39 @At the end of two months she returned to her father, who did to her according to the vow which he had made; and she had no relations with a man. Thus it became a custom in Israel,

nasb@Judges:10:4 @Then Jephthah gathered all the men of Gilead and fought Ephraim; and the men of Gilead defeated Ephraim, because they said, "You are fugitives of Ephraim, O Gileadites, in the midst of Ephraim and in the midst of Manasseh."

nasb@Judges:10:8 @Now Ibzan of Bethlehem judged Israel after him.

nasb@Judges:10:10 @Then Ibzan died and was buried in Bethlehem.

nasb@Judges:11:3 @Then the angel of the LORD appeared to the woman and said to her, "Behold now, you are barren and have borne no children, but you shall conceive and give birth to a son.

nasb@Judges:11:4" @Now therefore, be careful not to drink wine or strong drink, nor eat any unclean thing.

nasb@Judges:11:5" @ For behold, you shall conceive and give birth to a son, and no razor shall come upon his head, for the boy shall be a Nazirite to God from the womb; and he shall begin to deliver Israel from the hands of the Philistines."

nasb@Judges:11:7" @But he said to me, 'Behold, you shall conceive and give birth to a son, and now you shall not drink wine or strong drink nor eat any unclean thing, for the boy shall be a Nazirite to God from the womb to the day of his death.'"

nasb@Judges:11:8 @Then Manoah entreated the LORD and said, "O Lord, please let the man of God whom You have sent come to us again that he may teach us what to do for the boy who is to be born."

nasb@Judges:11:10 @So the woman ran quickly and told her husband, "Behold, the man who came the other day has appeared to me."

nasb@Judges:11:12 @Manoah said, "Now when your words come to pass, what shall be the boy's mode of life and his vocation?"

nasb@Judges:11:25 @And the Spirit of the LORD began to stir him in Mahaneh-dan, between Zorah and Eshtaol.

nasb@Judges:12:5 @Then Samson went down to Timnah with his father and mother, and came as far as the vineyards of Timnah; and behold, a young lion came roaring toward him.

nasb@Judges:12:8 @When he returned later to take her, he turned aside to look at the carcass of the lion; and behold, a swarm of bees and honey were in the body of the lion.

nasb@Judges:12:11 @When they saw him, they brought thirty companions to be with him.

nasb@Judges:12:16 @Samson's wife wept before him and said, " You only hate me, and you do not love me; you have propounded a riddle to the sons of my people, and have not told it to me." And he said to her, "Behold, I have not told it to my father or mother; so should I tell you?"

nasb@Judges:12:17 @However she wept before him seven days while their feast lasted. And on the seventh day he told her because she pressed him so hard. She then told the riddle to the sons of her people.

nasb@Judges:12:18 @So the men of the city said to him on the seventh day before the sun went down, "What is sweeter than honey? And what is stronger than a lion?" And he said to them, "If you had not plowed with my heifer, You would not have found out my riddle."

nasb@Judges:12:20 @But Samson's wife was given to his companion who had been his friend.

nasb@Judges:13:2 @Her father said, "I really thought that you hated her intensely; so I gave her to your companion. Is not her younger sister more beautiful than she? Please let her be yours instead."

nasb@Judges:13:3 @Samson then said to them, "This time I shall be blameless in regard to the Philistines when I do them harm."

nasb@Judges:13:4 @Samson went and caught three hundred foxes, and took torches, and turned the foxes tail to tail and put one torch in the middle between two tails.

nasb@Judges:13:6 @Then the Philistines said, "Who did this?" And they said, "Samson, the son-in-law of the Timnite, because he took his wife and gave her to his companion." So the Philistines came up and burned her and her father with fire.

nasb@Judges:13:18 @Then he became very thirsty, and he called to the LORD and said, "You have given this great deliverance by the hand of Your servant, and now shall I die of thirst and fall into the hands of the uncircumcised?"

nasb@Judges:14:6 @So Delilah said to Samson, "Please tell me where your great strength is and how you may be bound to afflict you."

nasb@Judges:14:7 @Samson said to her, "If they bind me with seven fresh cords that have not been dried, then I will become weak and be like any other man."

nasb@Judges:14:8 @Then the lords of the Philistines brought up to her seven fresh cords that had not been dried, and she bound him with them.

nasb@Judges:14:10 @Then Delilah said to Samson, "Behold, you have deceived me and told me lies; now please tell me how you may be bound."

nasb@Judges:14:11 @He said to her, "If they bind me tightly with new ropes which have not been used, then I will become weak and be like any other man."

nasb@Judges:14:13 @Then Delilah said to Samson, "Up to now you have deceived me and told me lies; tell me how you may be bound." And he said to her, "If you weave the seven locks of my hair with the web [and fasten it with a pin, then I will become weak and be like any other man."

nasb@Judges:14:17 @So he told her all that was in his heart and said to her, "A razor has never come on my head, for I have been a Nazirite to God from my mother's womb. If I am shaved, then my strength will leave me and I will become weak and be like any other man."

nasb@Judges:14:19 @She made him sleep on her knees, and called for a man and had him shave off the seven locks of his hair. Then she began to afflict him, and his strength left him.

nasb@Judges:14:22 @However, the hair of his head began to grow again after it was shaved off.

nasb@Judges:14:25 @It so happened when they were in high spirits, that they said, "Call for Samson, that he may amuse us." So they called for Samson from the prison, and he entertained them. And they made him stand between the pillars.

nasb@Judges:14:28 @Then Samson called to the LORD and said, "O Lord GOD, please remember me and please strengthen me just this time, O God, that I may at once be avenged of the Philistines for my two eyes."

nasb@Judges:14:30 @And Samson said, "Let me die with the Philistines!" And he bent with all his might so that the house fell on the lords and all the people who were in it. So the dead whom he killed at his death were more than those whom he killed in his life.

nasb@Judges:14:31 @Then his brothers and all his father's household came down, took him, brought him up and buried him between Zorah and Eshtaol in the tomb of Manoah his father. Thus he had judged Israel twenty years.

nasb@Judges:15:2 @He said to his mother, "The eleven hundred pieces of silver which were taken from you, about which you uttered a curse in my hearing, behold, the silver is with me; I took it." And his mother said, "Blessed be my son by the LORD."

nasb@Judges:15:5 @And the man Micah had a shrine and he made an ephod and household idols and consecrated one of his sons, that he might become his priest.

nasb@Judges:15:7 @Now there was a young man from Bethlehem in Judah, of the family of Judah, who was a Levite; and he was staying there.

nasb@Judges:15:8 @Then the man departed from the city, from Bethlehem in Judah, to stay wherever he might find a place; and as he made his journey, he came to the hill country of Ephraim to the house of Micah.

nasb@Judges:15:9 @Micah said to him, "Where do you come from?" And he said to him, "I am a Levite from Bethlehem in Judah, and I am going to stay wherever I may find a place."

nasb@Judges:15:10 @Micah then said to him, "Dwell with me and be a father and a priest to me, and I will give you ten pieces of silver a year, a suit of clothes, and your maintenance." So the Levite went in.

nasb@Judges:15:11 @The Levite agreed to live with the man, and the young man became to him like one of his sons.

nasb@Judges:15:12 @So Micah consecrated the Levite, and the young man became his priest and lived in the house of Micah.

nasb@Judges:16:1 @In those days there was no king of Israel; and in those days the tribe of the Danites was seeking an inheritance for themselves to live in, for until that day an inheritance had not been allotted to them as a possession among the tribes of Israel.

nasb@Judges:16:2 @So the sons of Dan sent from their family five men out of their whole number, valiant men from Zorah and Eshtaol, to spy out the land and to search it; and they said to them, "Go, search the land." And they came to the hill country of Ephraim, to the house of Micah, and lodged there.

nasb@Judges:16:4 @He said to them, "Thus and so has Micah done to me, and he has hired me and I have become his priest."

nasb@Judges:16:5 @They said to him, "Inquire of God, please, that we may know whether our way on which we are going will be prosperous."

nasb@Judges:16:9 @They said, "Arise, and let us go up against them; for we have seen the land, and behold, it is very good. And will you sit still? Do not delay to go, to enter, to possess the land.

nasb@Judges:16:12 @They went up and camped at Kiriath-jearim in Judah. Therefore they called that place Mahaneh-dan to this day; behold, it is west of Kiriath-jearim.

nasb@Judges:16:19 @They said to him, "Be silent, put your hand over your mouth and come with us, and be to us a father and a priest. Is it better for you to be a priest to the house of one man, or to be priest to a tribe and a family in Israel?"

nasb@Judges:16:24 @He said, "You have taken away my gods which I made, and the priest, and have gone away, and what do I have besides? So how can you say to me, 'What is the matter with you?'"

nasb@Judges:16:25 @The sons of Dan said to him, "Do not let your voice be heard among us, or else fierce men will fall upon you and you will lose your life, with the lives of your household."

nasb@Judges:16:27 @Then they took what Micah had made and the priest who had belonged to him, and came to Laish, to a people quiet and secure, and struck them with the edge of the sword; and they burned the city with fire.

nasb@Judges:16:28 @And there was no one to deliver them, because it was far from Sidon and they had no dealings with anyone, and it was in the valley which is near Beth-rehob. And they rebuilt the city and lived in it.

nasb@Judges:16:30 @The sons of Dan set up for themselves the graven image; and Jonathan, the son of Gershom, the son of Manasseh, he and his sons were priests to the tribe of the Danites until the day of the captivity of the land.

nasb@Judges:17:1 @Now it came about in those days, when there was no king in Israel, that there was a certain Levite staying in the remote part of the hill country of Ephraim, who took a concubine for himself from Bethlehem in Judah.

nasb@Judges:17:2 @But his concubine played the harlot against him, and she went away from him to her father's house in Bethlehem in Judah, and was there for a period of four months.

nasb@Judges:17:6 @So both of them sat down and ate and drank together; and the girl's father said to the man, "Please be willing to spend the night, and let your heart be merry."

nasb@Judges:17:9 @When the man arose to go along with his concubine and servant, his father-in-law, the girl's father, said to him, "Behold now, the day has drawn to a close; please spend the night. Lo, the day is coming to an end; spend the night here that your heart may be merry. Then tomorrow you may arise early for your journey so that you may go home."

nasb@Judges:17:12 @However, his master said to him, "We will not turn aside into the city of foreigners who are not of the sons of Israel; but we will go on as far as Gibeah."

nasb@Judges:17:13 @He said to his servant, "Come and let us approach one of these places; and we will spend the night in Gibeah or Ramah."

nasb@Judges:17:14 @So they passed along and went their way, and the sun set on them near Gibeah which belongs to Benjamin.

nasb@Judges:17:15 @They turned aside there in order to enter and lodge in Gibeah. When they entered, they sat down in the open square of the city, for no one took them into his house to spend the night.

nasb@Judges:17:16 @Then behold, an old man was coming out of the field from his work at evening. Now the man was from the hill country of Ephraim, and he was staying in Gibeah, but the men of the place were Benjamites.

nasb@Judges:17:18 @He said to him, "We are passing from Bethlehem in Judah to the remote part of the hill country of Ephraim, for I am from there, and I went to Bethlehem in Judah. But I am now going to my house, and no man will take me into his house.

nasb@Judges:17:22 @While they were celebrating, behold, the men of the city, certain worthless fellows, surrounded the house, pounding the door; and they spoke to the owner of the house, the old man, saying, "Bring out the man who came into your house that we may have relations with him."

nasb@Judges:17:26 @As the day began to dawn, the woman came and fell down at the doorway of the man's house where her master was, until full daylight.

nasb@Judges:17:27 @When her master arose in the morning and opened the doors of the house and went out to go on his way, then behold, his concubine was lying at the doorway of the house with her hands on the threshold.

nasb@Judges:17:30 @All who saw it said, "Nothing like this has ever happened or been seen from the day when the sons of Israel came up from the land of Egypt to this day. Consider it, take counsel and speak up!"

nasb@Judges:18:1 @Then all the sons of Israel from Dan to Beersheba, including the land of Gilead, came out, and the congregation assembled as one man to the LORD at Mizpah.

nasb@Judges:18:2 @The chiefs of all the people, even of all the tribes of Israel, took their stand in the assembly of the people of God, 400,000 foot soldiers who drew the sword.

nasb@Judges:18:3 @(Now the sons of Benjamin heard that the sons of Israel had gone up to Mizpah.) And the sons of Israel said, "Tell us, how did this wickedness take place?"

nasb@Judges:18:4 @So the Levite, the husband of the woman who was murdered, answered and said, "I came with my concubine to spend the night at Gibeah which belongs to Benjamin.

nasb@Judges:18:5" @But the men of Gibeah rose up against me and surrounded the house at night because of me. They intended to kill me; instead, they ravished my concubine so that she died.

nasb@Judges:18:9" @But now this is the thing which we will do to Gibeah; we will go up against it by lot.

nasb@Judges:18:12 @Then the tribes of Israel sent men through the entire tribe of Benjamin, saying, "What is this wickedness that has taken place among you?

nasb@Judges:18:13" @Now then, deliver up the men, the worthless fellows in Gibeah, that we may put them to death and remove this wickedness from Israel." But the sons of Benjamin would not listen to the voice of their brothers, the sons of Israel.

nasb@Judges:18:14 @The sons of Benjamin gathered from the cities to Gibeah, to go out to battle against the sons of Israel.

nasb@Judges:18:15 @From the cities on that day the sons of Benjamin were numbered, 26,000 men who draw the sword, besides the inhabitants of Gibeah who were numbered, 700 choice men.

nasb@Judges:18:20 @The men of Israel went out to battle against Benjamin, and the men of Israel arrayed for battle against them at Gibeah.

nasb@Judges:18:25 @Benjamin went out against them from Gibeah the second day and felled to the ground again 18,000 men of the sons of Israel; all these drew the sword.

nasb@Judges:18:26 @Then all the sons of Israel and all the people went up and came to Bethel and wept; thus they remained there before the LORD and fasted that day until evening. And they offered burnt offerings and peace offerings before the LORD.

nasb@Judges:18:29 @So Israel set men in ambush around Gibeah.

nasb@Judges:18:30 @The sons of Israel went up against the sons of Benjamin on the third day and arrayed themselves against Gibeah as at other times.

nasb@Judges:18:31 @The sons of Benjamin went out against the people and were drawn away from the city, and they began to strike and kill some of the people as at other times, on the highways, one of which goes up to Bethel and the other to Gibeah, and in the field, about thirty men of Israel.

nasb@Judges:18:35 @And the LORD struck Benjamin before Israel, so that the sons of Israel destroyed 25,100 men of Benjamin that day, all who draw the sword.

nasb@Judges:18:36 @So the sons of Benjamin saw that they were defeated. When the men of Israel gave ground to Benjamin because they relied on the men in ambush whom they had set against Gibeah,

nasb@Judges:18:37 @the men in ambush hurried and rushed against Gibeah; the men in ambush also deployed and struck all the city with the edge of the sword.

nasb@Judges:18:38 @Now the appointed sign between the men of Israel and the men in ambush was that they would make a great cloud of smoke rise from the city.

nasb@Judges:18:39 @Then the men of Israel turned in the battle, and Benjamin began to strike and kill about thirty men of Israel, for they said, "Surely they are defeated before us, as in the first battle."

nasb@Judges:18:40 @But when the cloud began to rise from the city in a column of smoke, Benjamin looked behind them; and behold, the whole city was going up in smoke to heaven.

nasb@Judges:18:41 @Then the men of Israel turned, and the men of Benjamin were terrified; for they saw that disaster was close to them.

nasb@Judges:18:42 @Therefore, they turned their backs before the men of Israel toward the direction of the wilderness, but the battle overtook them while those who came out of the cities destroyed them in the midst of them.

nasb@Judges:18:43 @They surrounded Benjamin, pursued them without rest and trod them down opposite Gibeah toward the east.

nasb@Judges:18:44 @Thus 18,000 men of Benjamin fell; all these were valiant warriors.

nasb@Judges:18:48 @The men of Israel then turned back against the sons of Benjamin and struck them with the edge of the sword, both the entire city with the cattle and all that they found; they also set on fire all the cities which they found.

nasb@Judges:19:1 @Now the men of Israel had sworn in Mizpah, saying, "None of us shall give his daughter to Benjamin in marriage."

nasb@Judges:19:2 @So the people came to Bethel and sat there before God until evening, and lifted up their voices and wept bitterly.

nasb@Judges:19:5 @Then the sons of Israel said, "Who is there among all the tribes of Israel who did not come up in the assembly to the LORD?" For they had taken a great oath concerning him who did not come up to the LORD at Mizpah, saying, "He shall surely be put to death."

nasb@Judges:19:14 @Benjamin returned at that time, and they gave them the women whom they had kept alive from the women of Jabesh-gilead; yet they were not enough for them.

nasb@Judges:19:15 @And the people were sorry for Benjamin because the LORD had made a breach in the tribes of Israel.

nasb@Judges:19:16 @Then the elders of the congregation said, "What shall we do for wives for those who are left, since the women are destroyed out of Benjamin?"

nasb@Judges:19:17 @They said, "There must be an inheritance for the survivors of Benjamin, so that a tribe will not be blotted out from Israel.

nasb@Judges:19:20 @And they commanded the sons of Benjamin, saying, "Go and lie in wait in the vineyards,

nasb@Judges:19:21 @and watch; and behold, if the daughters of Shiloh come out to take part in the dances, then you shall come out of the vineyards and each of you shall catch his wife from the daughters of Shiloh, and go to the land of Benjamin.

nasb@Judges:19:22" @It shall come about, when their fathers or their brothers come to complain to us, that we shall say to them, 'Give them to us voluntarily, because we did not take for each man of Benjamin a wife in battle, nor did you give them to them, else you would now be guilty.'"

nasb@Judges:19:23 @The sons of Benjamin did so, and took wives according to their number from those who danced, whom they carried away. And they went and returned to their inheritance and rebuilt the cities and lived in them.

nasb@Judges:19:24 @The sons of Israel departed from there at that time, every man to his tribe and family, and each one of them went out from there to his inheritance.

nasb@Ruth:1:1 @Now it came about in the days when the judges governed, that there was a famine in the land. And a certain man of Bethlehem in Judah went to sojourn in the land of Moab with his wife and his two sons.

nasb@Ruth:1:2 @The name of the man was Elimelech, and the name of his wife, Naomi; and the names of his two sons were Mahlon and Chilion, Ephrathites of Bethlehem in Judah. Now they entered the land of Moab and remained there.

nasb@Ruth:1:5 @Then both Mahlon and Chilion also died, and the woman was bereft of her two children and her husband.

nasb@Ruth:1:11 @But Naomi said, "Return, my daughters. Why should you go with me? Have I yet sons in my womb, that they may be your husbands?

nasb@Ruth:1:12" @Return, my daughters! Go, for I am too old to have a husband. If I said I have hope, if I should even have a husband tonight and also bear sons,

nasb@Ruth:1:15 @Then she said, "Behold, your sister-in-law has gone back to her people and her gods; return after your sister-in-law."

nasb@Ruth:1:16 @But Ruth said, "Do not urge me to leave you or turn back from following you; for where you go, I will go, and where you lodge, I will lodge. Your people shall be my people, and your God, my God.

nasb@Ruth:1:17" @Where you die, I will die, and there I will be buried. Thus may the LORD do to me, and worse, if anything but death parts you and me."

nasb@Ruth:1:19 @So they both went until they came to Bethlehem. And when they had come to Bethlehem, all the city was stirred because of them, and the women said, "Is this Naomi?"

nasb@Ruth:1:22 @So Naomi returned, and with her Ruth the Moabitess, her daughter-in-law, who returned from the land of Moab. And they came to Bethlehem at the beginning of barley harvest.

nasb@Ruth:2:3 @So she departed and went and gleaned in the field after the reapers; and she happened to come to the portion of the field belonging to Boaz, who was of the family of Elimelech.

nasb@Ruth:2:4 @Now behold, Boaz came from Bethlehem and said to the reapers, " May the LORD be with you." And they said to him, "May the LORD bless you."

nasb@Ruth:2:7" @And she said, 'Please let me glean and gather after the reapers among the sheaves.' Thus she came and has remained from the morning until now; she has been sitting in the house for a little while."

nasb@Ruth:2:9" @Let your eyes be on the field which they reap, and go after them. Indeed, I have commanded the servants not to touch you. When you are thirsty, go to the water jars and drink from what the servants draw."

nasb@Ruth:2:11 @Boaz replied to her, "All that you have done for your mother-in-law after the death of your husband has been fully reported to me, and how you left your father and your mother and the land of your birth, and came to a people that you did not previously know.

nasb@Ruth:2:12" @ May the LORD reward your work, and your wages be full from the LORD, the God of Israel, under whose wings you have come to seek refuge."

nasb@Ruth:2:14 @At mealtime Boaz said to her, "Come here, that you may eat of the bread and dip your piece of bread in the vinegar." So she sat beside the reapers; and he served her roasted grain, and she ate and was satisfied and had some left.

nasb@Ruth:2:17 @So she gleaned in the field until evening. Then she beat out what she had gleaned, and it was about an ephah of barley.

nasb@Ruth:2:19 @Her mother-in-law then said to her, "Where did you glean today and where did you work? May he who took notice of you be blessed." So she told her mother-in-law with whom she had worked and said, "The name of the man with whom I worked today is Boaz."

nasb@Ruth:2:20 @Naomi said to her daughter-in-law, " May he be blessed of the LORD who has not withdrawn his kindness to the living and to the dead." Again Naomi said to her, "The man is our relative, he is one of our closest relatives."

nasb@Ruth:2:3 @Then Naomi her mother-in-law said to her, "My daughter, shall I not seek security for you, that it may be well with you?

nasb@Ruth:2:2" @Now is not Boaz our kinsman, with whose maids you were? Behold, he winnows barley at the threshing floor tonight.

nasb@Ruth:2:3" @Wash yourself therefore, and anoint yourself and put on your best clothes, and go down to the threshing floor; but do not make yourself known to the man until he has finished eating and drinking.

nasb@Ruth:2:4" @It shall be when he lies down, that you shall notice the place where he lies, and you shall go and uncover his feet and lie down; then he will tell you what you shall do."

nasb@Ruth:2:8 @It happened in the middle of the night that the man was startled and bent forward; and behold, a woman was lying at his feet.

nasb@Ruth:2:10 @Then he said, " May you be blessed of the LORD, my daughter. You have shown your last kindness to be better than the first by not going after young men, whether poor or rich.

nasb@Ruth:2:14 @So she lay at his feet until morning and rose before one could recognize another; and he said, " Let it not be known that the woman came to the threshing floor."

nasb@Ruth:3:1 @Now Boaz went up to the gate and sat down there, and behold, the close relative of whom Boaz spoke was passing by, so he said, "Turn aside, friend, sit down here." And he turned aside and sat down.

nasb@Ruth:3:3 @Then he said to the closest relative, "Naomi, who has come back from the land of Moab, has to sell the piece of land which belonged to our brother Elimelech.

nasb@Ruth:3:4" @So I thought to inform you, saying, ' Buy it before those who are sitting here, and before the elders of my people. If you will redeem it, redeem it; but if not, tell me that I may know; for there is no one but you to redeem it, and I am after you.'" And he said, "I will redeem it."

nasb@Ruth:3:6 @The closest relative said, "I cannot redeem it for myself, because I would jeopardize my own inheritance. Redeem it for yourself; you may have my right of redemption, for I cannot redeem it."

nasb@Ruth:3:9 @Then Boaz said to the elders and all the people, "You are witnesses today that I have bought from the hand of Naomi all that belonged to Elimelech and all that belonged to Chilion and Mahlon.

nasb@Ruth:3:10" @Moreover, I have acquired Ruth the Moabitess, the widow of Mahlon, to be my wife in order to raise up the name of the deceased on his inheritance, so that the name of the deceased will not be cut off from his brothers or from the court of his birth place; you are witnesses today."

nasb@Ruth:3:11 @All the people who were in the court, and the elders, said, "We are witnesses. May the LORD make the woman who is coming into your home like Rachel and Leah, both of whom built the house of Israel; and may you achieve wealth in Ephrathah and become famous in Bethlehem.

nasb@Ruth:3:12" @Moreover, may your house be like the house of Perez whom Tamar bore to Judah, through the offspring which the LORD will give you by this young woman."

nasb@Ruth:3:13 @So Boaz took Ruth, and she became his wife, and he went in to her. And the LORD enabled her to conceive, and she gave birth to a son.

nasb@Ruth:3:14 @Then the women said to Naomi, "Blessed is the LORD who has not left you without a redeemer today, and may his name become famous in Israel.

nasb@Ruth:3:15" @May he also be to you a restorer of life and a sustainer of your old age; for your daughter-in-law, who loves you and is better to you than seven sons, has given birth to him."

nasb@Ruth:3:16 @Then Naomi took the child and laid him in her lap, and became his nurse.

nasb@Ruth:3:17 @The neighbor women gave him a name, saying, "A son has been born to Naomi!" So they named him Obed. He is the father of Jesse, the father of David.

nasb@Ruth:3:21 @and to Salmon was born Boaz, and to Boaz, Obed,

nasb@Ruth:3:22 @and to Obed was born Jesse, and to Jesse, David.

nasb@1Samuel:1:6 @Her rival, however, would provoke her bitterly to irritate her, because the LORD had closed her womb.

nasb@1Samuel:1:8 @Then Elkanah her husband said to her, "Hannah, why do you weep and why do you not eat and why is your heart sad? Am I not better to you than ten sons?"

nasb@1Samuel:1:11 @She made a vow and said, "O LORD of hosts, if You will indeed look on the affliction of Your maidservant and remember me, and not forget Your maidservant, but will give Your maidservant a son, then I will give him to the LORD all the days of his life, and a razor shall never come on his head."

nasb@1Samuel:1:12 @Now it came about, as she continued praying before the LORD, that Eli was watching her mouth.

nasb@1Samuel:1:15 @But Hannah replied, "No, my lord, I am a woman oppressed in spirit; I have drunk neither wine nor strong drink, but I have poured out my soul before the LORD.

nasb@1Samuel:1:19 @Then they arose early in the morning and worshiped before the LORD, and returned again to their house in Ramah. And Elkanah had relations with Hannah his wife, and the LORD remembered her.

nasb@1Samuel:1:20 @It came about in due time, after Hannah had conceived, that she gave birth to a son; and she named him Samuel, saying, " Because I have asked him of the LORD."

nasb@1Samuel:1:22 @But Hannah did not go up, for she said to her husband, "I will not go up until the child is weaned; then I will bring him, that he may appear before the LORD and stay there forever."

nasb@1Samuel:1:23 @Elkanah her husband said to her, "Do what seems best to you. Remain until you have weaned him; only may the LORD confirm His word." So the woman remained and nursed her son until she weaned him.

nasb@1Samuel:1:26 @She said, "Oh, my lord! As your soul lives, my lord, I am the woman who stood here beside you, praying to the LORD.

nasb@1Samuel:2:2 @Then Hannah prayed and said, "My heart exults in the LORD; My horn is exalted in the LORD, My mouth speaks boldly against my enemies, Because I rejoice in Your salvation.

nasb@1Samuel:2:2" @ There is no one holy like the LORD, Indeed, there is no one besides You, Nor is there any rock like our God.

nasb@1Samuel:2:10" @ Those who contend with the LORD will be shattered; Against them He will thunder in the heavens, The LORD will judge the ends of the earth; And He will give strength to His king, And will exalt the horn of His anointed."

nasb@1Samuel:2:11 @Then Elkanah went to his home at Ramah. But the boy ministered to the LORD before Eli the priest.

nasb@1Samuel:2:15 @Also, before they burned the fat, the priest's servant would come and say to the man who was sacrificing, "Give the priest meat for roasting, as he will not take boiled meat from you, only raw."

nasb@1Samuel:2:17 @Thus the sin of the young men was very great before the LORD, for the men despised the offering of the LORD.

nasb@1Samuel:2:18 @Now Samuel was ministering before the LORD, as a boy wearing a linen ephod.

nasb@1Samuel:2:19 @And his mother would make him a little robe and bring it to him from year to year when she would come up with her husband to offer the yearly sacrifice.

nasb@1Samuel:2:21 @The LORD visited Hannah; and she conceived and gave birth to three sons and two daughters. And the boy Samuel grew before the LORD.

nasb@1Samuel:2:28 @' Did I not choose them from all the tribes of Israel to be My priests, to go up to My altar, to burn incense, to carry an ephod before Me; and did I not give to the house of your father all the fire offerings of the sons of Israel?

nasb@1Samuel:2:30" @Therefore the LORD God of Israel declares, ' I did indeed say that your house and the house of your father should walk before Me forever'; but now the LORD declares, 'Far be it from Me--for those who honor Me I will honor, and those who despise Me will be lightly esteemed.

nasb@1Samuel:2:31 @'Behold, the days are coming when I will break your strength and the strength of your father's house so that there will not be an old man in your house.

nasb@1Samuel:2:32 @'You will see the distress of My dwelling, in spite of all the good that I do for Israel; and an old man will not be in your house forever.

nasb@1Samuel:2:34 @'This will be the sign to you which will come concerning your two sons, Hophni and Phinehas- on the same day both of them will die.

nasb@1Samuel:2:35 @'But I will raise up for Myself a faithful priest who will do according to what is in My heart and in My soul; and I will build him an enduring house, and he will walk before My anointed always.

nasb@1Samuel:3:1 @Now the boy Samuel was ministering to the LORD before Eli. And word from the LORD was rare in those days, visions were infrequent.

nasb@1Samuel:3:2 @It happened at that time as Eli was lying down in his place (now his eyesight had begun to grow dim and he could not see well),

nasb@1Samuel:3:7 @Now Samuel did not yet know the LORD, nor had the word of the LORD yet been revealed to him.

nasb@1Samuel:3:9 @And Eli said to Samuel, "Go lie down, and it shall be if He calls you, that you shall say, 'Speak, LORD, for Your servant is listening.'" So Samuel went and lay down in his place.

nasb@1Samuel:3:11 @The LORD said to Samuel, "Behold, I am about to do a thing in Israel at which both ears of everyone who hears it will tingle.

nasb@1Samuel:3:12" @In that day I will carry out against Eli all that I have spoken concerning his house, from beginning to end.

nasb@1Samuel:3:13" @For I have told him that I am about to judge his house forever for the iniquity which he knew, because his sons brought a curse on themselves and he did not rebuke them.

nasb@1Samuel:3:14" @Therefore I have sworn to the house of Eli that the iniquity of Eli's house shall not be atoned for by sacrifice or offering forever."

nasb@1Samuel:3:20 @All Israel from Dan even to Beersheba knew that Samuel was confirmed as a prophet of the LORD.

nasb@1Samuel:3:21 @And the LORD appeared again at Shiloh, because the LORD revealed Himself to Samuel at Shiloh by the word of the LORD.

nasb@1Samuel:4:1 @Thus the word of Samuel came to all Israel. Now Israel went out to meet the Philistines in battle and camped beside Ebenezer while the Philistines camped in Aphek.

nasb@1Samuel:4:2 @The Philistines drew up in battle array to meet Israel. When the battle spread, Israel was defeated before the Philistines who killed about four thousand men on the battlefield.

nasb@1Samuel:4:3 @When the people came into the camp, the elders of Israel said, " Why has the LORD defeated us today before the Philistines? Let us take to ourselves from Shiloh the ark of the covenant of the LORD, that it may come among us and deliver us from the power of our enemies."

nasb@1Samuel:4:7 @The Philistines were afraid, for they said, "God has come into the camp." And they said, " Woe to us! For nothing like this has happened before.

nasb@1Samuel:4:9" @ Take courage and be men, O Philistines, or you will become slaves to the Hebrews, as they have been slaves to you; therefore, be men and fight."

nasb@1Samuel:4:12 @Now a man of Benjamin ran from the battle line and came to Shiloh the same day with his clothes torn and dust on his head.

nasb@1Samuel:4:13 @When he came, behold, Eli was sitting on his seat by the road eagerly watching, because his heart was trembling for the ark of God. So the man came to tell it in the city, and all the city cried out.

nasb@1Samuel:4:17 @Then the one who brought the news replied, "Israel has fled before the Philistines and there has also been a great slaughter among the people, and your two sons also, Hophni and Phinehas, are dead, and the ark of God has been taken."

nasb@1Samuel:4:18 @When he mentioned the ark of God, Eli fell off the seat backward beside the gate, and his neck was broken and he died, for he was old and heavy. Thus he judged Israel forty years.

nasb@1Samuel:4:20 @And about the time of her death the women who stood by her said to her, " Do not be afraid, for you have given birth to a son." But she did not answer or pay attention.

nasb@1Samuel:4:21 @And she called the boy Ichabod, saying, " The glory has departed from Israel," because the ark of God was taken and because of her father-in-law and her husband.

nasb@1Samuel:5:1 @Now the Philistines took the ark of God and brought it from Ebenezer to Ashdod.

nasb@1Samuel:5:3 @When the Ashdodites arose early the next morning, behold, Dagon had fallen on his face to the ground before the ark of the LORD. So they took Dagon and set him in his place again.

nasb@1Samuel:5:4 @But when they arose early the next morning, behold, Dagon had fallen on his face to the ground before the ark of the LORD. And the head of Dagon and both the palms of his hands were cut off on the threshold; only the trunk of Dagon was left to him.

nasb@1Samuel:5:8 @So they sent and gathered all the lords of the Philistines to 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 brought around to Gath." And they brought the ark of the God of Israel around.

nasb@1Samuel:6:1 @Now the ark of the LORD had been in the country of the Philistines seven months.

nasb@1Samuel:6:3 @They said, "If you send away the ark of the God of Israel, do not send it empty; but you shall surely return to Him a guilt offering. Then you will be healed and it will be known to you why His hand is not removed from you."

nasb@1Samuel:6:4 @Then they said, "What shall be the guilt offering which we shall return to Him?" And they said, "Five golden tumors and five golden mice according to the number of the lords of the Philistines, for one plague was on all of you and on your lords.

nasb@1Samuel:6:7" @Now therefore, take and prepare a new cart and two milch cows on which there has never been a yoke; and hitch the cows to the cart and take their calves home, away from them.

nasb@1Samuel:6:9" @Watch, if it goes up by the way of its own territory to Beth-shemesh, then He has done us this great evil. But if not, then we will know that it was not His hand that struck us; it happened to us by chance."

nasb@1Samuel:6:12 @And the cows took the straight way in the direction of Beth-shemesh; they went along the highway, lowing as they went, and did not turn aside to the right or to the left. And the lords of the Philistines followed them to the border of Beth-shemesh.

nasb@1Samuel:6:13 @Now the people of Beth-shemesh were reaping their wheat harvest in the valley, and they raised their eyes and saw the ark and were glad to see it.

nasb@1Samuel:6:14 @The cart came into the field of Joshua the Beth-shemite and stood there where there was a large stone; and they split the wood of the cart and offered the cows as a burnt offering to the LORD.

nasb@1Samuel:6:15 @The Levites took down the ark of the LORD and the box that was with it, in which were the articles of gold, and put them on the large stone; and the men of Beth-shemesh offered burnt offerings and sacrificed sacrifices that day to the LORD.

nasb@1Samuel:6:18 @and the golden mice, according to the number of all the cities of the Philistines belonging to the five lords, both of fortified cities and of country villages. The large stone on which they set the ark of the LORD is a witness to this day in the field of Joshua the Beth-shemite.

nasb@1Samuel:6:19 @He struck down some of the men of Beth-shemesh because they had looked into the ark of the LORD. He struck down of all the people, 50,070 men, and the people mourned because the LORD had struck the people with a great slaughter.

nasb@1Samuel:6:20 @The men of Beth-shemesh said, " Who is able to stand before the LORD, this holy God? And to whom shall He go up from us?"

nasb@1Samuel:7:6 @They gathered to Mizpah, and drew water and poured it out before the LORD, and fasted on that day and said there, " We have sinned against the LORD." And Samuel judged the sons of Israel at Mizpah.

nasb@1Samuel:7:10 @Now Samuel was offering up the burnt offering, and the Philistines drew near to battle against Israel. But the LORD thundered with a great thunder on that day against the Philistines and confused them, so that they were routed before Israel.

nasb@1Samuel:7:11 @The men of Israel went out of Mizpah and pursued the Philistines, and struck them down as far as below Beth-car.

nasb@1Samuel:7:12 @Then Samuel took a stone and set it between Mizpah and Shen, and named it Ebenezer, saying, "Thus far the LORD has helped us."

nasb@1Samuel:7:14 @The cities which the Philistines had taken from Israel were restored to Israel, from Ekron even to Gath; and Israel delivered their territory from the hand of the Philistines. So there was peace between Israel and the Amorites.

nasb@1Samuel:7:16 @He used to go annually on circuit to Bethel and Gilgal and Mizpah, and he judged Israel in all these places.

nasb@1Samuel:8:2 @Now the name of his firstborn was Joel, and the name of his second, Abijah; they were judging in Beersheba.

nasb@1Samuel:8:3 @His sons, however, did not walk in his ways, but turned aside after dishonest gain and took bribes and perverted justice.

nasb@1Samuel:8:5 @and they said to him, "Behold, you have grown old, and your sons do not walk in your ways. Now appoint a king for us to judge us like all the nations."

nasb@1Samuel:8:7 @The LORD said to Samuel, "Listen to the voice of the people in regard to all that they say to you, for they have not rejected you, but they have rejected Me from being king over them.

nasb@1Samuel:8:11 @He said, " This will be the procedure of the king who will reign over you- he will take your sons and place them for himself in his chariots and among his horsemen and they will run before his chariots.

nasb@1Samuel:8:14" @ He will take the best of your fields and your vineyards and your olive groves and give them to his servants.

nasb@1Samuel:8:16" @He will also take your male servants and your female servants and your best young men and your donkeys and use them for his work.

nasb@1Samuel:8:17" @He will take a tenth of your flocks, and you yourselves will become his servants.

nasb@1Samuel:8:18" @Then you will cry out in that day because of your king whom you have chosen for yourselves, but the LORD will not answer you in that day."

nasb@1Samuel:8:19 @Nevertheless, the people refused to listen to the voice of Samuel, and they said, "No, but there shall be a king over us,

nasb@1Samuel:8:20 @that we also may be like all the nations, that our king may judge us and go out before us and fight our battles."

nasb@1Samuel:9:1 @Now there was a man of Benjamin whose name was Kish the son of Abiel, the son of Zeror, the son of Becorath, the son of Aphiah, the son of a Benjamite, a mighty man of valor.

nasb@1Samuel:9:4 @He passed through the hill country of Ephraim and passed through the land of Shalishah, but they did not find them. Then they passed through the land of Shaalim, but they were not there. Then he passed through the land of the Benjamites, but they did not find them.

nasb@1Samuel:9:5 @When they came to the land of Zuph, Saul said to his servant who was with him, "Come, and let us return, or else my father will cease to be concerned about the donkeys and will become anxious for us."

nasb@1Samuel:9:6 @He said to him, "Behold now, there is a man of God in this city, and the man is held in honor; all that he says surely comes true. Now let us go there, perhaps he can tell us about our journey on which we have set out."

nasb@1Samuel:9:7 @Then Saul said to his servant, "But behold, if we go, what shall we bring the man? For the bread is gone from our sack and there is no present to bring to the man of God. What do we have?"

nasb@1Samuel:9:8 @The servant answered Saul again and said, "Behold, I have in my hand a fourth of a shekel of silver; I will give it to the man of God and he will tell us our way."

nasb@1Samuel:9:13" @As soon as you enter the city you will find him before he goes up to the high place to eat, for the people will not eat until he comes, because he must bless the sacrifice; afterward those who are invited will eat. Now therefore, go up for you will find him at once."

nasb@1Samuel:9:14 @So they went up to the city. As they came into the city, behold, Samuel was coming out toward them to go up to the high place.

nasb@1Samuel:9:15 @Now a day before Saul's coming, the LORD had revealed this to Samuel saying,

nasb@1Samuel:9:16" @About this time tomorrow I will send you a man from the land of Benjamin, and you shall anoint him to be prince over My people Israel; and he will deliver My people from the hand of the Philistines. For I have regarded My people, because their cry has come to Me."

nasb@1Samuel:9:17 @When Samuel saw Saul, the LORD said to him, " Behold, the man of whom I spoke to you! This one shall rule over My people."

nasb@1Samuel:9:19 @Samuel answered Saul and said, "I am the seer. Go up before me to the high place, for you shall eat with me today; and in the morning I will let you go, and will tell you all that is on your mind.

nasb@1Samuel:9:20" @ As for your donkeys which were lost three days ago, do not set your mind on them, for they have been found. And for whom is all that is desirable in Israel? Is it not for you and for all your father's household?"

nasb@1Samuel:9:21 @Saul replied, " Am I not a Benjamite, of the smallest of the tribes of Israel, and my family the least of all the families of the tribe of Benjamin? Why then do you speak to me in this way?"

nasb@1Samuel:9:24 @Then the cook took up the leg with what was on it and set it before Saul. And Samuel said, "Here is what has been reserved! Set it before you and eat, because it has been kept for you until the appointed time, since I said I have invited the people." So Saul ate with Samuel that day.

nasb@1Samuel:9:2" @When you go from me today, then you will find two men close to Rachel's tomb in the territory of Benjamin at Zelzah; and they will say to you, ' The donkeys which you went to look for have been found.

nasb@1Samuel:9:3" @Then you will go on further from there, and you will come as far as the oak of Tabor, and there three men going up to God at Bethel will meet you, one carrying three young goats, another carrying three loaves of bread, and another carrying a jug of wine;

nasb@1Samuel:9:5" @Afterward you will come to the hill of God where the Philistine garrison is; and it shall be as soon as you have come there to the city, that you will meet a group of prophets coming down from the high place with harp, tambourine, flute, and a lyre before them, and they will be prophesying.

nasb@1Samuel:9:6" @Then the Spirit of the LORD will come upon you mightily, and you shall prophesy with them and be changed into another man.

nasb@1Samuel:9:12 @A man there said, "Now, who is their father?" Therefore it became a proverb- " Is Saul also among the prophets?"

nasb@1Samuel:9:14 @Now Saul's uncle said to him and his servant, "Where did you go?" And he said, " To look for the donkeys. When we saw that they could not be found, we went to Samuel."

nasb@1Samuel:9:16 @So Saul said to his uncle, " He told us plainly that the donkeys had been found." But he did not tell him about the matter of the kingdom which Samuel had mentioned.

nasb@1Samuel:9:19" @But you have today rejected your God, who delivers you from all your calamities and your distresses; yet you have said, 'No, but set a king over us!' Now therefore, present yourselves before the LORD by your tribes and by your clans."

nasb@1Samuel:9:21 @Then he brought the tribe of Benjamin near by its families, and the Matrite family was taken. And Saul the son of Kish was taken; but when they looked for him, he could not be found.

nasb@1Samuel:9:22 @Therefore they inquired further of the LORD, "Has the man come here yet?" So the LORD said, "Behold, he is hiding himself by the baggage."

nasb@1Samuel:9:25 @Then Samuel told the people the ordinances of the kingdom, and wrote them in the book and placed it before the LORD. And Samuel sent all the people away, each one to his house.

nasb@1Samuel:9:26 @Saul also went to his house at Gibeah; and the valiant men whose hearts God had touched went with him.

nasb@1Samuel:10:1 @Now Nahash the Ammonite came up and besieged Jabesh-gilead; and all the men of Jabesh said to Nahash, "Make a covenant with us and we will serve you."

nasb@1Samuel:10:3 @The elders of Jabesh said to him, "Let us alone for seven days, that we may send messengers throughout the territory of Israel. Then, if there is no one to deliver us, we will come out to you."

nasb@1Samuel:10:4 @Then the messengers came to Gibeah of Saul and spoke these words in the hearing of the people, and all the people lifted up their voices and wept.

nasb@1Samuel:10:5 @Now behold, Saul was coming from the field behind the oxen, and he said, "What is the matter with the people that they weep?" So they related to him the words of the men of Jabesh.

nasb@1Samuel:10:6 @Then the Spirit of God came upon Saul mightily when he heard these words, and he became very angry.

nasb@1Samuel:10:7 @He took a yoke of oxen and cut them in pieces, and sent them throughout the territory of Israel by the hand of messengers, saying, " Whoever does not come out after Saul and after Samuel, so shall it be done to his oxen." Then the dread of the LORD fell on the people, and they came out as one man.

nasb@1Samuel:10:8 @He numbered them in Bezek; and the sons of Israel were 300,000, and the men of Judah 30,000.

nasb@1Samuel:10:9 @They said to the messengers who had come, "Thus you shall say to the men of Jabesh-gilead, 'Tomorrow, by the time the sun is hot, you will have deliverance.'" So the messengers went and told the men of Jabesh; and they were glad.

nasb@1Samuel:10:10 @Then the men of Jabesh said, " Tomorrow we will come out to you, and you may do to us whatever seems good to you."

nasb@1Samuel:10:13 @But Saul said, " Not a man shall be put to death this day, for today the LORD has accomplished deliverance in Israel."

nasb@1Samuel:10:15 @So all the people went to Gilgal, and there they made Saul king before the LORD in Gilgal. There they also offered sacrifices of peace offerings before the LORD; and there Saul and all the men of Israel rejoiced greatly.

nasb@1Samuel:10:12 @Then Samuel said to all Israel, "Behold, I have listened to your voice in all that you said to me and I have appointed a king over you.

nasb@1Samuel:10:2" @Now, here is the king walking before you, but I am old and gray, and behold my sons are with you. And I have walked before you from my youth even to this day.

nasb@1Samuel:10:3" @Here I am; bear witness against me before the LORD and His anointed. Whose ox have I taken, or whose donkey have I taken, or whom have I defrauded? Whom have I oppressed, or from whose hand have I taken a bribe to blind my eyes with it? I will restore it to you."

nasb@1Samuel:10:7" @So now, take your stand, that I may plead with you before the LORD concerning all the righteous acts of the LORD which He did for you and your fathers.

nasb@1Samuel:10:10" @ They cried out to the LORD and said, 'We have sinned because we have forsaken the LORD and have served the Baals and the Ashtaroth; but now deliver us from the hands of our enemies, and we will serve You.'

nasb@1Samuel:10:11" @Then the LORD sent Jerubbaal and Bedan and Jephthah and Samuel, and delivered you from the hands of your enemies all around, so that you lived in security.

nasb@1Samuel:10:13" @Now therefore, here is the king whom you have chosen, whom you have asked for, and behold, the LORD has set a king over you.

nasb@1Samuel:10:14" @ If you will fear the LORD and serve Him, and listen to His voice and not rebel against the command of the LORD, then both you and also the king who reigns over you will follow the LORD your God.

nasb@1Samuel:10:15" @ If you will not listen to the voice of the LORD, but rebel against the command of the LORD, then the hand of the LORD will be against you, as it was against your fathers.

nasb@1Samuel:10:16" @Even now, take your stand and see this great thing which the LORD will do before your eyes.

nasb@1Samuel:10:21" @You must not turn aside, for then you would go after futile things which can not profit or deliver, because they are futile.

nasb@1Samuel:10:22" @For the LORD will not abandon His people on account of His great name, because the LORD has been pleased to make you a people for Himself.

nasb@1Samuel:10:23" @Moreover, as for me, far be it from me that I should sin against the LORD by ceasing to pray for you; but I will instruct you in the good and right way.

nasb@1Samuel:10:25" @ But if you still do wickedly, both you and your king will be swept away."

nasb@1Samuel:11:1 @Saul was thirty years old when he began to reign, and he reigned forty two years over Israel.

nasb@1Samuel:11:2 @Now Saul chose for himself 3,000 men of Israel, of which 2,000 were with Saul in Michmash and in the hill country of Bethel, while 1,000 were with Jonathan at Gibeah of Benjamin. But he sent away the rest of the people, each to his tent.

nasb@1Samuel:11:4 @All Israel heard the news that Saul had smitten the garrison of the Philistines, and also that Israel had become odious to the Philistines. The people were then summoned to Saul at Gilgal.

nasb@1Samuel:11:5 @Now the Philistines assembled to fight with Israel, 30,000 chariots and 6,000 horsemen, and people like the sand which is on the seashore in abundance; and they came up and camped in Michmash, east of Beth-aven.

nasb@1Samuel:11:10 @As soon as he finished offering the burnt offering, behold, Samuel came; and Saul went out to meet him and to greet him.

nasb@1Samuel:11:11 @But Samuel said, "What have you done?" And Saul said, "Because I saw that the people were scattering from me, and that you did not come within the appointed days, and that the Philistines were assembling at Michmash,

nasb@1Samuel:11:14" @But now your kingdom shall not endure. The LORD has sought out for Himself a man after His own heart, and the LORD has appointed him as ruler over His people, because you have not kept what the LORD commanded you."

nasb@1Samuel:11:15 @Then Samuel arose and went up from Gilgal to Gibeah of Benjamin. And Saul numbered the people who were present with him, about six hundred men.

nasb@1Samuel:11:16 @Now Saul and his son Jonathan and the people who were present with them were staying in Geba of Benjamin while the Philistines camped at Michmash.

nasb@1Samuel:11:18 @and another company turned toward Beth-horon, and another company turned toward the border which overlooks the valley of Zeboim toward the wilderness.

nasb@1Samuel:11:19 @Now no blacksmith could be found in all the land of Israel, for the Philistines said, "Otherwise the Hebrews will make swords or spears."

nasb@1Samuel:12:2 @Saul was staying in the outskirts of Gibeah under the pomegranate tree which is in Migron. And the people who were with him were about six hundred men,

nasb@1Samuel:12:4 @Between the passes by which Jonathan sought to cross over to the Philistines' garrison, there was a sharp crag on the one side and a sharp crag on the other side, and the name of the one was Bozez, and the name of the other Seneh.

nasb@1Samuel:12:7 @His armor bearer said to him, "Do all that is in your heart; turn yourself, and here I am with you according to your desire."

nasb@1Samuel:12:8 @Then Jonathan said, " Behold, we will cross over to the men and reveal ourselves to them.

nasb@1Samuel:12:10" @But if they say, 'Come up to us,' then we will go up, for the LORD has given them into our hands; and this shall be the sign to us."

nasb@1Samuel:12:11 @When both of them revealed themselves to the garrison of the Philistines, the Philistines said, "Behold, Hebrews are coming out of the holes where they have hidden themselves."

nasb@1Samuel:12:12 @So the men of the garrison hailed Jonathan and his armor bearer and said, "Come up to us and we will tell you something." And Jonathan said to his armor bearer, "Come up after me, for the LORD has given them into the hands of Israel."

nasb@1Samuel:12:13 @Then Jonathan climbed up on his hands and feet, with his armor bearer behind him; and they fell before Jonathan, and his armor bearer put some to death after him.

nasb@1Samuel:12:14 @That first slaughter which Jonathan and his armor bearer made was about twenty men within about half a furrow in an acre of land.

nasb@1Samuel:12:15 @And there was a trembling in the camp, in the field, and among all the people. Even the garrison and the raiders trembled, and the earth quaked so that it became a great trembling.

nasb@1Samuel:12:16 @Now Saul's watchmen in Gibeah of Benjamin looked, and behold, the multitude melted away; and they went here and there.

nasb@1Samuel:12:17 @Saul said to the people who were with him, "Number now and see who has gone from us." And when they had numbered, behold, Jonathan and his armor bearer were not there.

nasb@1Samuel:12:20 @Then Saul and all the people who were with him rallied and came to the battle; and behold, every man's sword was against his fellow, and there was very great confusion.

nasb@1Samuel:12:21 @Now the Hebrews who were with the Philistines previously, who went up with them all around in the camp, even they also turned to be with the Israelites who were with Saul and Jonathan.

nasb@1Samuel:12:23 @So the LORD delivered Israel that day, and the battle spread beyond Beth-aven.

nasb@1Samuel:12:24 @Now the men of Israel were hard-pressed on that day, for Saul had put the people under oath, saying, "Cursed be the man who eats food before evening, and until I have avenged myself on my enemies." So none of the people tasted food.

nasb@1Samuel:12:26 @When the people entered the forest, behold, there was a flow of honey; but no man put his hand to his mouth, for the people feared the oath.

nasb@1Samuel:12:28 @Then one of the people said, "Your father strictly put the people under oath, saying, 'Cursed be the man who eats food today.'" And the people were weary.

nasb@1Samuel:12:29 @Then Jonathan said, " My father has troubled the land. See now, how my eyes have brightened because I tasted a little of this honey.

nasb@1Samuel:12:30" @How much more, if only the people had eaten freely today of the spoil of their enemies which they found! For now the slaughter among the Philistines has not been great."

nasb@1Samuel:12:33 @Then they told Saul, saying, "Behold, the people are sinning against the LORD by eating with the blood." And he said, "You have acted treacherously; roll a great stone to me today."

nasb@1Samuel:12:40 @Then he said to all Israel, "You shall be on one side and I and Jonathan my son will be on the other side." And the people said to Saul, "Do what seems good to you."

nasb@1Samuel:12:42 @Saul said, "Cast lots between me and Jonathan my son." And Jonathan was taken.

nasb@1Samuel:12:4 @Then Saul summoned the people and numbered them in Telaim, 200,000 foot soldiers and 10,000 men of Judah.

nasb@1Samuel:12:9 @But Saul and the people spared Agag and the best of the sheep, the oxen, the fatlings, the lambs, and all that was good, and were not willing to destroy them utterly; but everything despised and worthless, that they utterly destroyed.

nasb@1Samuel:12:12 @Samuel rose early in the morning to meet Saul; and it was told Samuel, saying, "Saul came to Carmel, and behold, he set up a monument for himself, then turned and proceeded on down to Gilgal."

nasb@1Samuel:12:15 @Saul said, "They have brought them from the Amalekites, for the people spared the best of the sheep and oxen, to sacrifice to the LORD your God; but the rest we have utterly destroyed."

nasb@1Samuel:12:17 @Samuel said, "Is it not true, though you were little in your own eyes, you were made the head of the tribes of Israel? And the LORD anointed you king over Israel,

nasb@1Samuel:12:19" @Why then did you not obey the voice of the LORD, but rushed upon the spoil and did what was evil in the sight of the LORD?"

nasb@1Samuel:12:20 @Then Saul said to Samuel, " I did obey the voice of the LORD, and went on the mission on which the LORD sent me, and have brought back Agag the king of Amalek, and have utterly destroyed the Amalekites.

nasb@1Samuel:12:22 @Samuel said, " Has the LORD as much delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices As in obeying the voice of the LORD? Behold, to obey is better than sacrifice, And to heed than the fat of rams.

nasb@1Samuel:12:23" @For rebellion is as the sin of divination, And insubordination is as iniquity and idolatry. Because you have rejected the word of the LORD, He has also rejected you from being king."

nasb@1Samuel:12:24 @Then Saul said to Samuel, " I have sinned; I have indeed transgressed the command of the LORD and your words, because I feared the people and listened to their voice.

nasb@1Samuel:12:26 @But Samuel said to Saul, "I will not return with you; for you have rejected the word of the LORD, and the LORD has rejected you from being king over Israel."

nasb@1Samuel:12:27 @As Samuel turned to go, Saul seized the edge of his robe, and it tore.

nasb@1Samuel:12:28 @So Samuel said to him, " The LORD has torn the kingdom of Israel from you today and has given it to your neighbor, who is better than you.

nasb@1Samuel:12:30 @Then he said, "I have sinned; but please honor me now before the elders of my people and before Israel, and go back with me, that I may worship the LORD your God."

nasb@1Samuel:12:33 @But Samuel said, " As your sword has made women childless, so shall your mother be childless among women." And Samuel hewed Agag to pieces before the LORD at Gilgal.

nasb@1Samuel:12:34 @Then Samuel went to Ramah, but Saul went up to his house at Gibeah of Saul.

nasb@1Samuel:13:1 @Now the LORD said to Samuel, " How long will you grieve over Saul, since I have rejected him from being king over Israel? Fill your horn with oil and go; I will send you to Jesse the Bethlehemite, for I have selected a king for Myself among his sons."

nasb@1Samuel:13:4 @So Samuel did what the LORD said, and came to Bethlehem. And the elders of the city came trembling to meet him and said, " Do you come in peace?"

nasb@1Samuel:13:6 @When they entered, he looked at Eliab and thought, "Surely the LORD'S anointed is before Him."

nasb@1Samuel:13:7 @But the LORD said to Samuel, "Do not look at his appearance or at the height of his stature, because I have rejected him; for God sees not as man sees, for man looks at the outward appearance, but the LORD looks at the heart."

nasb@1Samuel:13:8 @Then Jesse called Abinadab and made him pass before Samuel. And he said, "The LORD has not chosen this one either."

nasb@1Samuel:13:10 @Thus Jesse made seven of his sons pass before Samuel. But Samuel said to Jesse, "The LORD has not chosen these."

nasb@1Samuel:13:11 @And Samuel said to Jesse, "Are these all the children?" And he said, " There remains yet the youngest, and behold, he is tending the sheep." Then Samuel said to Jesse, "Send and bring him; for we will not sit down until he comes here."

nasb@1Samuel:13:12 @So he sent and brought him in. Now he was ruddy, with beautiful eyes and a handsome appearance. And the LORD said, " Arise, anoint him; for this is he."

nasb@1Samuel:13:15 @Saul's servants then said to him, "Behold now, an evil spirit from God is terrorizing you.

nasb@1Samuel:13:16" @Let our lord now command your servants who are before you. Let them seek a man who is a skillful player on the harp; and it shall come about when the evil spirit from God is on you, that he shall play the harp with his hand, and you will be well."

nasb@1Samuel:13:18 @Then one of the young men said, "Behold, I have seen a son of Jesse the Bethlehemite who is a skillful musician, a mighty man of valor, a warrior, one prudent in speech, and a handsome man; and the LORD is with him."

nasb@1Samuel:13:21 @Then David came to Saul and attended him; and Saul loved him greatly, and he became his armor bearer.

nasb@1Samuel:13:22 @Saul sent to Jesse, saying, "Let David now stand before me, for he has found favor in my sight."

nasb@1Samuel:13:23 @So it came about whenever the evil spirit from God came to Saul, David would take the harp and play it with his hand; and Saul would be refreshed and be well, and the evil spirit would depart from him.

nasb@1Samuel:14:1 @Now the Philistines gathered their armies for battle; and they were gathered at Socoh which belongs to Judah, and they camped between Socoh and Azekah, in Ephes-dammim.

nasb@1Samuel:14:3 @The Philistines stood on the mountain on one side while Israel stood on the mountain on the other side, with the valley between them.

nasb@1Samuel:14:6 @He also had bronze greaves on his legs and a bronze javelin slung between his shoulders.

nasb@1Samuel:14:7 @The shaft of his spear was like a weaver's beam, and the head of his spear weighed six hundred shekels of iron; his shield-carrier also walked before him.

nasb@1Samuel:14:9" @ If he is able to fight with me and kill me, then we will become your servants; but if I prevail against him and kill him, then you shall become our servants and serve us."

nasb@1Samuel:14:12 @Now David was the son of the Ephrathite of Bethlehem in Judah, whose name was Jesse, and he had eight sons. And Jesse was old in the days of Saul, advanced in years among men.

nasb@1Samuel:14:15 @but David went back and forth from Saul to tend his father's flock at Bethlehem.

nasb@1Samuel:14:23 @As he was talking with them, behold, the champion, the Philistine from Gath named Goliath, was coming up from the army of the Philistines, and he spoke these same words; and David heard them.

nasb@1Samuel:14:25 @The men of Israel said, "Have you seen this man who is coming up? Surely he is coming up to defy Israel. And it will be that the king will enrich the man who kills him with great riches and will give him his daughter and make his father's house free in Israel."

nasb@1Samuel:14:26 @Then David spoke to the men who were standing by him, saying, "What will be done for the man who kills this Philistine and takes away the reproach from Israel? For who is this uncircumcised Philistine, that he should taunt the armies of the living God?"

nasb@1Samuel:14:27 @The people answered him in accord with this word, saying, " Thus it will be done for the man who kills him."

nasb@1Samuel:14:30 @Then he turned away from him to another and said the same thing; and the people answered the same thing as before.

nasb@1Samuel:14:33 @Then Saul said to David, " You are not able to go against this Philistine to fight with him; for you are but a youth while he has been a warrior from his youth."

nasb@1Samuel:14:34 @But David said to Saul, "Your servant was tending his father's sheep. When a lion or a bear came and took a lamb from the flock,

nasb@1Samuel:14:35 @I went out after him and attacked him, and rescued it from his mouth; and when he rose up against me, I seized him by his beard and struck him and killed him.

nasb@1Samuel:14:36" @Your servant has killed both the lion and the bear; and this uncircumcised Philistine will be like one of them, since he has taunted the armies of the living God."

nasb@1Samuel:14:37 @And David said, " The LORD who delivered me from the paw of the lion and from the paw of the bear, He will deliver me from the hand of this Philistine." And Saul said to David, " Go, and may the LORD be with you."

nasb@1Samuel:14:41 @Then the Philistine came on and approached David, with the shield-bearer in front of him.

nasb@1Samuel:14:44 @The Philistine also said to David, "Come to me, and I will give your flesh to the birds of the sky and the beasts of the field."

nasb@1Samuel:14:46" @This day the LORD will deliver you up into my hands, and I will strike you down and remove your head from you. And I will give the dead bodies of the army of the Philistines this day to the birds of the sky and the wild beasts of the earth, that all the earth may know that there is a God in Israel,

nasb@1Samuel:14:57 @So when David returned from killing the Philistine, Abner took him and brought him before Saul with the Philistine's head in his hand.

nasb@1Samuel:14:58 @Saul said to him, "Whose son are you, young manNULL" And David answered, " I am the son of your servant Jesse the Bethlehemite."

nasb@1Samuel:15:3 @Then Jonathan made a covenant with David because he loved him as himself.

nasb@1Samuel:15:4 @Jonathan stripped himself of the robe that was on him and gave it to David, with his armor, including his sword and his bow and his belt.

nasb@1Samuel:15:8 @Then Saul became very angry, for this saying displeased him; and he said, "They have ascribed to David ten thousands, but to me they have ascribed thousands. Now what more can he have but the kingdom?"

nasb@1Samuel:15:13 @Therefore Saul removed him from his presence and appointed him as his commander of a thousand; and he went out and came in before the people.

nasb@1Samuel:15:16 @But all Israel and Judah loved David, and he went out and came in before them.

nasb@1Samuel:15:17 @Then Saul said to David, " Here is my older daughter Merab; I will give her to you as a wife, only be a valiant man for me and fight the LORD'S battles." For Saul thought, "My hand shall not be against him, but let the hand of the Philistines be against him."

nasb@1Samuel:15:18 @But David said to Saul, " Who am I, and what is my life or my father's family in Israel, that I should be the king's son-in-law?"

nasb@1Samuel:15:19 @So it came about at the time when Merab, Saul's daughter, should have been given to David, that she was given to Adriel the Meholathite for a wife.

nasb@1Samuel:15:21 @Saul thought, "I will give her to him that she may become a snare to him, and that the hand of the Philistines may be against him." Therefore Saul said to David, " For a second time you may be my son-in-law today."

nasb@1Samuel:15:23 @So Saul's servants spoke these words to David. But David said, "Is it trivial in your sight to become the king's son-in-law, since I am a poor man and lightly esteemed?"

nasb@1Samuel:15:27 @David rose up and went, he and his men, and struck down two hundred men among the Philistines. Then David brought their foreskins, and they gave them in full number to the king, that he might become the king's son-in-law. So Saul gave him Michal his daughter for a wife.

nasb@1Samuel:15:30 @Then the commanders of the Philistines went out to battle, and it happened as often as they went out, that David behaved himself more wisely than all the servants of Saul. So his name was highly esteemed.

nasb@1Samuel:16:2 @So Jonathan told David saying, "Saul my father is seeking to put you to death. Now therefore, please be on guard in the morning, and stay in a secret place and hide yourself.

nasb@1Samuel:16:3" @I will go out and stand beside my father in the field where you are, and I will speak with my father about you; if I find out anything, then I will tell you."

nasb@1Samuel:16:6 @Saul listened to the voice of Jonathan, and Saul vowed, "As the LORD lives, he shall not be put to death."

nasb@1Samuel:16:8 @When there was war again, David went out and fought with the Philistines and defeated them with great slaughter, so that they fled before him.

nasb@1Samuel:16:11 @Then Saul sent messengers to David's house to watch him, in order to put him to death in the morning. But Michal, David's wife, told him, saying, "If you do not save your life tonight, tomorrow you will be put to death."

nasb@1Samuel:17:2 @He said to him, "Far from it, you shall not die. Behold, my father does nothing either great or small without disclosing it to me. So why should my father hide this thing from me? It is not so!"

nasb@1Samuel:17:38 @And Jonathan called after the lad, "Hurry, be quick, do not stay!" And Jonathan's lad picked up the arrow and came to his master.

nasb@1Samuel:17:42 @Jonathan said to David, " Go in safety, inasmuch as we have sworn to each other in the name of the LORD, saying, ' The LORD will be between me and you, and between my descendants and your descendants forever.'" Then he rose and departed, while Jonathan went into the city.

nasb@1Samuel:18:3" @Now therefore, what do you have on hand? Give me five loaves of bread, or whatever can be found."

nasb@1Samuel:18:5 @David answered the priest and said to him, " Surely women have been kept from us as previously when I set out and the vessels of the young men were holy, though it was an ordinary journey; how much more then today will their vessels be holy?"

nasb@1Samuel:18:6 @So the priest gave him consecrated bread; for there was no bread there but the bread of the Presence which was removed from before the LORD, in order to put hot bread in its place when it was taken away.

nasb@1Samuel:18:7 @Now one of the servants of Saul was there that day, detained before the LORD; and his name was Doeg the Edomite, the chief of Saul's shepherds.

nasb@1Samuel:18:8 @David said to Ahimelech, "Now is there not a spear or a sword on hand? For I brought neither my sword nor my weapons with me, because the king's matter was urgent."

nasb@1Samuel:18:9 @Then the priest said, " The sword of Goliath the Philistine, whom you killed in the valley of Elah, behold, it is wrapped in a cloth behind the ephod; if you would take it for yourself, take it. For there is no other except it here." And David said, "There is none like it; give it to me."

nasb@1Samuel:18:13 @So he disguised his sanity before them, and acted insanely in their hands, and scribbled on the doors of the gate, and let his saliva run down into his beard.

nasb@1Samuel:18:14 @Then Achish said to his servants, "Behold, you see the man behaving as a madman. Why do you bring him to me?

nasb@1Samuel:19:2 @Everyone who was in distress, and everyone who was in debt, and everyone who was discontented gathered to him; and he became captain over them. Now there were about four hundred men with him.

nasb@1Samuel:19:6 @Then Saul heard that David and the men who were with him had been discovered. Now Saul was sitting in Gibeah, under the tamarisk tree on the height with his spear in his hand, and all his servants were standing around him.

nasb@1Samuel:19:7 @Saul said to his servants who stood around him, "Hear now, O Benjamites! Will the son of Jesse also give to all of you fields and vineyards? Will he make you all commanders of thousands and commanders of hundreds?

nasb@1Samuel:19:15" @Did I just begin to inquire of God for him today? Far be it from me! Do not let the king impute anything to his servant or to any of the household of my father, for your servant knows nothing at all of this whole affair."

nasb@1Samuel:19:17 @And the king said to the guards who were attending him, "Turn around and put the priests of the LORD to death, because their hand also is with David and because they knew that he was fleeing and did not reveal it to me." But the servants of the king were not willing to put forth their hands to attack the priests of the LORD.

nasb@1Samuel:19:23" @Stay with me; do not be afraid, for he who seeks my life seeks your life, for you are safe with me."

nasb@1Samuel:20:1 @Then they told David, saying, "Behold, the Philistines are fighting against Keilah and are plundering the threshing floors."

nasb@1Samuel:20:3 @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 ranks of the Philistines?"

nasb@1Samuel:20:8 @So Saul summoned all the people for war, to go down to Keilah to besiege David and his men.

nasb@1Samuel:20:15 @Now David became aware that Saul had come out to seek his life while David was in the wilderness of Ziph at Horesh.

nasb@1Samuel:20:17 @Thus he said to him, " Do not be afraid, because the hand of Saul my father will not find you, and you will be king over Israel and I will be next to you; and Saul my father knows that also."

nasb@1Samuel:20:18 @So the two of them made a covenant before the LORD; and David stayed at Horesh while Jonathan went to his house.

nasb@1Samuel:20:19 @Then Ziphites came up to Saul at Gibeah, saying, "Is David not hiding with us in the strongholds at Horesh, on the hill of Hachilah, which is on the south of Jeshimon?

nasb@1Samuel:20:20" @Now then, O king, come down according to all the desire of your soul to do so; and our part shall be to surrender him into the king's hand."

nasb@1Samuel:20:21 @Saul said, "May you be blessed of the LORD, for you have had compassion on me.

nasb@1Samuel:20:24 @Then they arose and went to Ziph before Saul. Now David and his men were in the wilderness of Maon, in the Arabah to the south of Jeshimon.

nasb@1Samuel:21:1 @Now when Saul returned from pursuing the Philistines, he was told, saying, "Behold, David is in the wilderness of Engedi."

nasb@1Samuel:21:4 @The men of David said to him, "Behold, this is the day of which the LORD said to you, 'Behold; I am about to give your enemy into your hand, and you shall do to him as it seems good to you.'" Then David arose and cut off the edge of Saul's robe secretly.

nasb@1Samuel:21:5 @It came about afterward that David's conscience bothered him because he had cut off the edge of Saul's robe.

nasb@1Samuel:21:6 @So he said to his men, " Far be it from me because of the LORD that I should do this thing to my lord, the LORD'S anointed, to stretch out my hand against him, since he is the LORD'S anointed."

nasb@1Samuel:21:8 @Now afterward David arose and went out of the cave and called after Saul, saying, "My lord the king!" And when Saul looked behind him, David bowed with his face to the ground and prostrated himself.

nasb@1Samuel:21:9 @David said to Saul, "Why do you listen to the words of men, saying, 'Behold, David seeks to harm you'?

nasb@1Samuel:21:10" @ Behold, this day your eyes have seen that the LORD had given you today into my hand in the cave, and some said to kill you, but my eye had pity on you; and I said, 'I will not stretch out my hand against my lord, for he is the LORD'S anointed.'

nasb@1Samuel:21:11" @Now, my father, see! Indeed, see the edge of your robe in my hand! For in that I cut off the edge of your robe and did not kill you, know and perceive that there is no evil or rebellion in my hands, and I have not sinned against you, though you are lying in wait for my life to take it.

nasb@1Samuel:21:12" @ May the LORD judge between you and me, and may the LORD avenge me on you; but my hand shall not be against you.

nasb@1Samuel:21:13" @As the proverb of the ancients says, ' Out of the wicked comes forth wickedness'; but my hand shall not be against you.

nasb@1Samuel:21:15" @ The LORD therefore be judge and decide between you and me; and may He see and plead my cause and deliver me from your hand."

nasb@1Samuel:21:20" @Now, behold, I know that you will surely be king, and that the kingdom of Israel will be established in your hand.

nasb@1Samuel:22:3 @(now the man's name was Nabal, and his wife's name was Abigail. And the woman was intelligent and beautiful in appearance, but the man was harsh and evil in his dealings, and he was a Calebite),

nasb@1Samuel:22:13 @David said to his men, "Each of you gird on his sword." So each man girded on his sword. And David also girded on his sword, and about four hundred men went up behind David while two hundred stayed with the baggage.

nasb@1Samuel:22:14 @But one of the young men told Abigail, Nabal's wife, saying, "Behold, David sent messengers from the wilderness to greet our master, and he scorned them.

nasb@1Samuel:22:19 @She said to her young men, " Go on before me; behold, I am coming after you." But she did not tell her husband Nabal.

nasb@1Samuel:22:20 @It came about as she was riding on her donkey and coming down by the hidden part of the mountain, that behold, David and his men were coming down toward her; so she met them.

nasb@1Samuel:22:21 @Now David had said, "Surely in vain I have guarded all that this man has in the wilderness, so that nothing was missed of all that belonged to him; and he has returned me evil for good.

nasb@1Samuel:22:22" @ May God do so to the enemies of David, and more also, if by morning I leave as much as one male of any who belong to him."

nasb@1Samuel:22:23 @When Abigail saw David, she hurried and dismounted from her donkey, and fell on her face before David and bowed herself to the ground.

nasb@1Samuel:22:24 @She fell at his feet and said, "On me alone, my lord, be the blame. And please let your maidservant speak to you, and listen to the words of your maidservant.

nasb@1Samuel:22:26" @Now therefore, my lord, as the LORD lives, and as your soul lives, since the LORD has restrained you from shedding blood, and from avenging yourself by your own hand, now then let your enemies and those who seek evil against my lord, be as Nabal.

nasb@1Samuel:22:27" @Now let this gift which your maidservant has brought to my lord be given to the young men who accompany my lord.

nasb@1Samuel:22:28" @Please forgive the transgression of your maidservant; for the LORD will certainly make for my lord an enduring house, because my lord is fighting the battles of the LORD, and evil will not be found in you all your days.

nasb@1Samuel:22:29" @Should anyone rise up to pursue you and to seek your life, then the life of my lord shall be bound in the bundle of the living with the LORD your God; but the lives of your enemies He will sling out as from the hollow of a sling.

nasb@1Samuel:22:31 @this will not cause grief or a troubled heart to my lord, both by having shed blood without cause and by my lord having avenged himself. When the LORD deals well with my lord, then remember your maidservant."

nasb@1Samuel:22:32 @Then David said to Abigail, " Blessed be the LORD God of Israel, who sent you this day to meet me,

nasb@1Samuel:22:33 @and blessed be your discernment, and blessed be you, who have kept me this day from bloodshed and from avenging myself by my own hand.

nasb@1Samuel:22:34" @Nevertheless, as the LORD God of Israel lives, who has restrained me from harming you, unless you had come quickly to meet me, surely there would not have been left to Nabal until the morning light as much as one male."

nasb@1Samuel:22:36 @Then Abigail came to Nabal, and behold, he was holding a feast in his house, like the feast of a king. And Nabal's heart was merry within him, for he was very drunk; so she did not tell him anything at all until the morning light.

nasb@1Samuel:22:37 @But in the morning, when the wine had gone out of Nabal, his wife told him these things, and his heart died within him so that he became as a stone.

nasb@1Samuel:22:39 @When David heard that Nabal was dead, he said, "Blessed be the LORD, who has pleaded the cause of my reproach from the hand of Nabal and has kept back His servant from evil. The LORD has also returned the evildoing of Nabal on his own head." Then David sent a proposal to Abigail, to take her as his wife.

nasb@1Samuel:22:41 @She arose and bowed with her face to the ground and said, "Behold, your maidservant is a maid to wash the feet of my lord's servants."

nasb@1Samuel:22:42 @Then Abigail quickly arose, and rode on a donkey, with her five maidens who attended her; and she followed the messengers of David and became his wife.

nasb@1Samuel:22:43 @David had also taken Ahinoam of Jezreel, and they both became his wives.

nasb@1Samuel:23:1 @Then the Ziphites came to Saul at Gibeah, saying, " Is not David hiding on the hill of Hachilah, which is before Jeshimon?"

nasb@1Samuel:23:3 @Saul camped in the hill of Hachilah, which is before Jeshimon, beside the road, and David was staying in the wilderness. When he saw that Saul came after him into the wilderness,

nasb@1Samuel:23:7 @So David and Abishai came to the people by night, and behold, Saul lay sleeping inside the circle of the camp with his spear stuck in the ground at his head; and Abner and the people were lying around him.

nasb@1Samuel:23:9 @But David said to Abishai, "Do not destroy him, for who can stretch out his hand against the LORD'S anointed and be without guilt?"

nasb@1Samuel:23:12 @So David took the spear and the jug of water from beside Saul's head, and they went away, but no one saw or knew it, nor did any awake, for they were all asleep, because a sound sleep from the LORD had fallen on them.

nasb@1Samuel:23:13 @Then David crossed over to the other side and stood on top of the mountain at a distance with a large area between them.

nasb@1Samuel:23:16" @This thing that you have done is not good. As the LORD lives, all of you must surely die, because you did not guard your lord, the LORD'S anointed. And now, see where the king's spear is and the jug of water that was at his head."

nasb@1Samuel:23:19" @Now therefore, please let my lord the king listen to the words of his servant. If the LORD has stirred you up against me, let Him accept an offering; but if it is men, cursed are they before the LORD, for they have driven me out today so that I would have no attachment with the inheritance of the LORD, saying, 'Go, serve other gods.'

nasb@1Samuel:23:21 @Then Saul said, " I have sinned. Return, my son David, for I will not harm you again because my life was precious in your sight this day. Behold, I have played the fool and have committed a serious error."

nasb@1Samuel:23:22 @David replied, "Behold the spear of the king! Now let one of the young men come over and take it.

nasb@1Samuel:23:24" @Now behold, as your life was highly valued in my sight this day, so may my life be highly valued in the sight of the LORD, and may He deliver me from all distress."

nasb@1Samuel:24:1 @Then David said to himself, "Now I will perish one day by the hand of Saul. There is nothing better for me than to escape into the land of the Philistines. Saul then will despair of searching for me anymore in all the territory of Israel, and I will escape from his hand."

nasb@1Samuel:24:6 @So Achish gave him Ziklag that day; therefore Ziklag has belonged to the kings of Judah to this day.

nasb@1Samuel:24:7 @The number of days that David lived in the country of the Philistines was a year and four months.

nasb@1Samuel:24:11 @David did not leave a man or a woman alive to bring to Gath, saying, "Otherwise they will tell about us, saying, 'So has David done and so has been his practice all the time he has lived in the country of the Philistines.'"

nasb@1Samuel:24:12 @So Achish believed David, saying, "He has surely made himself odious among his people Israel; therefore he will become my servant forever."

nasb@1Samuel:25:7 @Then Saul said to his servants, "Seek for me a woman who is a medium, that I may go to her and inquire of her." And his servants said to him, "Behold, there is a woman who is a medium at En-dor."

nasb@1Samuel:25:9 @But the woman said to him, "Behold, you know what Saul has done, how he has cut off those who are mediums and spiritists from the land. Why are you then laying a snare for my life to bring about my death?"

nasb@1Samuel:25:13 @The king said to her, "Do not be afraid; but what do you see?" And the woman said to Saul, "I see a divine being coming up out of the earth."

nasb@1Samuel:25:14 @He said to her, "What is his form?" And she said, "An old man is coming up, and he is wrapped with a robe." And Saul knew that it was Samuel, and he bowed with his face to the ground and did homage.

nasb@1Samuel:25:15 @Then Samuel said to Saul, "Why have you disturbed me by bringing me up?" And Saul answered, "I am greatly distressed; for the Philistines are waging war against me, and God has departed from me and no longer answers me, either through prophets or by dreams; therefore I have called you, that you may make known to me what I should do."

nasb@1Samuel:25:16 @Samuel said, "Why then do you ask me, since the LORD has departed from you and has become your adversary?

nasb@1Samuel:25:18" @As you did not obey the LORD and did not execute His fierce wrath on Amalek, so the LORD has done this thing to you this day.

nasb@1Samuel:25:19" @Moreover the LORD will also give over Israel along with you into the hands of the Philistines, therefore tomorrow you and your sons will be with me. Indeed the LORD will give over the army of Israel into the hands of the Philistines!"

nasb@1Samuel:25:20 @Then Saul immediately fell full length upon the ground and was very afraid because of the words of Samuel; also there was no strength in him, for he had eaten no food all day and all night.

nasb@1Samuel:25:21 @The woman came to Saul and saw that he was terrified, and said to him, "Behold, your maidservant has obeyed you, and I have taken my life in my hand and have listened to your words which you spoke to me.

nasb@1Samuel:25:22" @So now also, please listen to the voice of your maidservant, and let me set a piece of bread before you that you may eat and have strength when you go on your way."

nasb@1Samuel:25:23 @But he refused and said, " I will not eat." However, his servants together with the woman urged him, and he listened to them. So he arose from the ground and sat on the bed.

nasb@1Samuel:25:25 @She brought it before Saul and his servants, and they ate. Then they arose and went away that night.

nasb@1Samuel:26:3 @Then the commanders of the Philistines said, "What are these Hebrews doing here?" And Achish said to the commanders of the Philistines, "Is this not David, the servant of Saul the king of Israel, who has been with me these days, or rather these years, and I have found no fault in him from the day he deserted to me to this day?"

nasb@1Samuel:26:4 @But the commanders of the Philistines were angry with him, and the commanders of the Philistines said to him, "Make the man go back, that he may return to his place where you have assigned him, and do not let him go down to battle with us, or in the battle he may become an adversary to us. For with what could this man make himself acceptable to his lord? Would it not be with the heads of these men?

nasb@1Samuel:26:6 @Then Achish called David and said to him, "As the LORD lives, you have been upright, and your going out and your coming in with me in the army are pleasing in my sight; for I have not found evil in you from the day of your coming to me to this day. Nevertheless, you are not pleasing in the sight of the lords.

nasb@1Samuel:26:8 @David said to Achish, " But what have I done? And what have you found in your servant from the day when I came before you to this day, that I may not go and fight against the enemies of my lord the king?"

nasb@1Samuel:27:3 @When David and his men came to the city, behold, it was burned with fire, and their wives and their sons and their daughters had been taken captive.

nasb@1Samuel:27:5 @Now David's two wives had been taken captive, Ahinoam the Jezreelitess and Abigail the widow of Nabal the Carmelite.

nasb@1Samuel:27:6 @Moreover David was greatly distressed because the people spoke of stoning him, for all the people were embittered, each one because of his sons and his daughters. But David strengthened himself in the LORD his God.

nasb@1Samuel:27:9 @So David went, he and the six hundred men who were with him, and came to the brook Besor, where those left behind remained.

nasb@1Samuel:27:10 @But David pursued, he and four hundred men, for two hundred who were too exhausted to cross the brook Besor remained behind.

nasb@1Samuel:27:13 @David said to him, "To whom do you belong? And where are you from?" And he said, "I am a young man of Egypt, a servant of an Amalekite; and my master left me behind when I fell sick three days ago.

nasb@1Samuel:27:14" @We made a raid on the Negev of the Cherethites, and on that which belongs to Judah, and on the Negev of Caleb, and we burned Ziklag with fire."

nasb@1Samuel:27:16 @When he had brought him down, behold, they were spread over all the land, eating and drinking and dancing because of all the great spoil that they had taken from the land of the Philistines and from the land of Judah.

nasb@1Samuel:27:21 @When David came to the two hundred men who were too exhausted to follow David, who had also been left at the brook Besor, and they went out to meet David and to meet the people who were with him, then David approached the people and greeted them.

nasb@1Samuel:27:22 @Then all the wicked and worthless men among those who went with David said, "Because they did not go with us, we will not give them any of the spoil that we have recovered, except to every man his wife and his children, that they may lead them away and depart."

nasb@1Samuel:27:24" @And who will listen to you in this matter? For as his share is who goes down to the battle, so shall his share be who stays by the baggage; they shall share alike."

nasb@1Samuel:27:25 @So it has been from that day forward, that he made it a statute and an ordinance for Israel to this day.

nasb@2Samuel:3:6 @It came about while there was war between the house of Saul and the house of David that Abner was making himself strong in the house of Saul.

nasb@2Samuel:3:8 @Then Abner was very angry over the words of Ish-bosheth and said, " Am I a dog's head that belongs to Judah? Today I show kindness to the house of Saul your father, to his brothers and to his friends, and have not delivered you into the hands of David; and yet today you charge me with a guilt concerning the woman.

nasb@2Samuel:3:10 @to transfer the kingdom from the house of Saul and to establish the throne of David over Israel and over Judah, from Dan even to Beersheba."

nasb@2Samuel:3:11 @And he could no longer answer Abner a word, because he was afraid of him.

nasb@2Samuel:3:12 @Then Abner sent messengers to David in his place, saying, "Whose is the land? Make your covenant with me, and behold, my hand shall be with you to bring all Israel over to you."

nasb@2Samuel:3:14 @So David sent messengers to Ish-bosheth, Saul's son, saying, "Give me my wife Michal, to whom I was betrothed for a hundred foreskins of the Philistines."

nasb@2Samuel:3:17 @Now Abner had consultation with the elders of Israel, saying, "In times past you were seeking for David to be king over you.

nasb@2Samuel:3:19 @Abner also spoke in the hearing of Benjamin; and in addition Abner went to speak in the hearing of David in Hebron all that seemed good to Israel and to the whole house of Benjamin.

nasb@2Samuel:3:21 @Abner said to David, "Let me arise and go and gather all Israel to my lord the king, that they may make a covenant with you, and that you may be king over all that your soul desires." So David sent Abner away, and he went in peace.

nasb@2Samuel:3:22 @And behold, the servants of David and Joab came from a raid and brought much spoil with them; but Abner was not with David in Hebron, for he had sent him away, and he had gone in peace.

nasb@2Samuel:3:24 @Then Joab came to the king and said, "What have you done? Behold, Abner came to you; why then have you sent him away and he is already gone?

nasb@2Samuel:3:27 @So when Abner returned to Hebron, Joab took him aside into the middle of the gate to speak with him privately, and there he struck him in the belly so that he died on account of the blood of Asahel his brother.

nasb@2Samuel:3:28 @Afterward when David heard it, he said, "I and my kingdom are innocent before the LORD forever of the blood of Abner the son of Ner.

nasb@2Samuel:3:30 @So Joab and Abishai his brother killed Abner because he had put their brother Asahel to death in the battle at Gibeon.

nasb@2Samuel:3:31 @Then David said to Joab and to all the people who were with him, " Tear your clothes and gird on sackcloth and lament before Abner." And King David walked behind the bier.

nasb@2Samuel:3:34" @Your hands were not bound, nor your feet put in fetters; As one falls before the wicked, you have fallen." And all the people wept again over him.

nasb@2Samuel:3:35 @Then all the people came to persuade David to eat bread while it was still day; but David vowed, saying, " May God do so to me, and more also, if I taste bread or anything else before the sun goes down."

nasb@2Samuel:3:37 @So all the people and all Israel understood that day that it had not been the will of the king to put Abner the son of Ner to death.

nasb@2Samuel:4:1 @Now when Ish-bosheth, Saul's son, heard that Abner had died in Hebron, he lost courage, and all Israel was disturbed.

nasb@2Samuel:4:2 @Saul's son had two men who were commanders of bands- the name of the one was Baanah and the name of the other Rechab, sons of Rimmon the Beerothite, of the sons of Benjamin (for Beeroth is also considered part of Benjamin,

nasb@2Samuel:4:3 @and the Beerothites fled to Gittaim and have been aliens there until this day).

nasb@2Samuel:4:4 @Now Jonathan, Saul's son, had a son crippled in his feet. He was five years old when the report of Saul and Jonathan came from Jezreel, and his nurse took him up and fled. And it happened that in her hurry to flee, he fell and became lame. And his name was Mephibosheth.

nasb@2Samuel:4:5 @So the sons of Rimmon the Beerothite, Rechab and Baanah, departed and came to the house of Ish-bosheth in the heat of the day while he was taking his midday rest.

nasb@2Samuel:4:6 @They came to the middle of the house as if to get wheat, and they struck him in the belly; and Rechab and Baanah his brother escaped.

nasb@2Samuel:4:7 @Now when they came into the house, as he was lying on his bed in his bedroom, they struck him and killed him and beheaded him. And they took his head and traveled by way of the Arabah all night.

nasb@2Samuel:4:8 @Then they brought the head of Ish-bosheth to David at Hebron and said to the king, "Behold, the head of Ish-bosheth the son of Saul, your enemy, who sought your life; thus the LORD has given my lord the king vengeance this day on Saul and his descendants."

nasb@2Samuel:4:9 @David answered Rechab and Baanah his brother, sons of Rimmon the Beerothite, and said to them, "As the LORD lives, who has redeemed my life from all distress,

nasb@2Samuel:4:10 @when one told me, saying, 'Behold, Saul is dead,' and thought he was bringing good news, I seized him and killed him in Ziklag, which was the reward I gave him for his news.

nasb@2Samuel:4:11" @How much more, when wicked men have killed a righteous man in his own house on his bed, shall I not now require his blood from your hand and destroy you from the earth?"

nasb@2Samuel:4:12 @Then David commanded the young men, and they killed them and cut off their hands and feet and hung them up beside the pool in Hebron. But they took the head of Ish-bosheth and buried it in the grave of Abner in Hebron.

nasb@2Samuel:4:5 @Then all the tribes of Israel came to David at Hebron and said, "Behold, we are your bone and your flesh.

nasb@2Samuel:4:2" @Previously, when Saul was king over us, you were the one who led Israel out and in. And the LORD said to you, ' You will shepherd My people Israel, and you will be a ruler over Israel.'"

nasb@2Samuel:4:3 @So all the elders of Israel came to the king at Hebron, and King David made a covenant with them before the LORD at Hebron; then they anointed David king over Israel.

nasb@2Samuel:4:4 @David was thirty years old when he became king, and he reigned forty years.

nasb@2Samuel:4:10 @David became greater and greater, for the LORD God of hosts was with him.

nasb@2Samuel:4:20 @So David came to Baal-perazim and defeated them there; and he said, "The LORD has broken through my enemies before me like the breakthrough of waters." Therefore he named that place Baal-perazim.

nasb@2Samuel:4:23 @When David inquired of the LORD, He said, "You shall not go directly up; circle around behind them and come at them in front of the balsam trees.

nasb@2Samuel:4:24" @It shall be, when you hear the sound of marching in the tops of the balsam trees, then you shall act promptly, for then the LORD will have gone out before you to strike the army of the Philistines."

nasb@2Samuel:5:5 @Meanwhile, David and all the house of Israel were celebrating before the LORD with all kinds of instruments made of fir wood, and with lyres, harps, tambourines, castanets and cymbals.

nasb@2Samuel:5:8 @David became angry because of the LORD'S outburst against Uzzah, and that place is called Perez-uzzah to this day.

nasb@2Samuel:5:10 @And David was unwilling to move the ark of the LORD into the city of David with him; but David took it aside to the house of Obed-edom the Gittite.

nasb@2Samuel:5:11 @Thus the ark of the LORD remained in the house of Obed-edom the Gittite three months, and the LORD blessed Obed-edom and all his household.

nasb@2Samuel:5:12 @Now it was told King David, saying, "The LORD has blessed the house of Obed-edom and all that belongs to him, on account of the ark of God." David went and brought up the ark of God from the house of Obed-edom into the city of David with gladness.

nasb@2Samuel:5:13 @And so it was, that when the bearers of the ark of the LORD had gone six paces, he sacrificed an ox and a fatling.

nasb@2Samuel:5:14 @And David was dancing before the LORD with all his might, and David was wearing a linen ephod.

nasb@2Samuel:5:16 @Then it happened as the ark of the LORD came into the city of David that Michal the daughter of Saul looked out of the window and saw King David leaping and dancing before the LORD; and she despised him in her heart.

nasb@2Samuel:5:17 @So they brought in the ark of the LORD and set it in its place inside the tent which David had pitched for it; and David offered burnt offerings and peace offerings before the LORD.

nasb@2Samuel:5:21 @So David said to Michal, " It was before the LORD, who chose me above your father and above all his house, to appoint me ruler over the people of the LORD, over Israel; therefore I will celebrate before the LORD.

nasb@2Samuel:5:22" @I will be more lightly esteemed than this and will be humble in my own eyes, but with the maids of whom you have spoken, with them I will be distinguished."

nasb@2Samuel:6:6" @For I have not dwelt in a house since the day I brought up the sons of Israel from Egypt, even to this day; but I have been moving about in a tent, even in a tabernacle.

nasb@2Samuel:6:7" @ Wherever I have gone with all the sons of Israel, did I speak a word with one of the tribes of Israel, which I commanded to shepherd My people Israel, saying, 'Why have you not built Me a house of cedar?'"'

nasb@2Samuel:6:8" @Now therefore, thus you shall say to My servant David, 'Thus says the LORD of hosts, " I took you from the pasture, from following the sheep, to be ruler over My people Israel.

nasb@2Samuel:6:9" @ I have been with you wherever you have gone and have cut off all your enemies from before you; and I will make you a great name, like the names of the great men who are on the earth.

nasb@2Samuel:6:10" @I will also appoint a place for My people Israel and will plant them, that they may live in their own place and not be disturbed again, nor will the wicked afflict them any more as formerly,

nasb@2Samuel:6:11 @even from the day that I commanded judges to be over My people Israel; and I will give you rest from all your enemies. The LORD also declares to you that the LORD will make a house for you.

nasb@2Samuel:6:16" @ Your house and your kingdom shall endure before Me forever; your throne shall be established forever."'"

nasb@2Samuel:6:18 @Then David the king went in and sat before the LORD, and he said, " Who am I, O Lord GOD, and what is my house, that You have brought me this far?

nasb@2Samuel:6:22" @For this reason You are great, O Lord GOD; for there is none like You, and there is no God besides You, according to all that we have heard with our ears.

nasb@2Samuel:6:23" @And what one nation on the earth is like Your people Israel, whom God went to redeem for Himself as a people and to make a name for Himself, and to do a great thing for You and awesome things for Your land, before Your people whom You have redeemed for Yourself from Egypt, from nations and their gods?

nasb@2Samuel:7:2 @He defeated Moab, and measured them with the 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 servants to David, bringing tribute.

nasb@2Samuel:7:6 @Then David put garrisons among the Arameans of Damascus, and the Arameans became servants to David, bringing tribute. And the LORD helped David wherever he went.

nasb@2Samuel:7:8 @From Betah and from Berothai, cities of Hadadezer, King David took a very large amount of bronze.

nasb@2Samuel:7:10 @Toi sent Joram his son to King David to greet him and bless him, because he had fought against Hadadezer and defeated him; for Hadadezer had been at war with Toi. And Joram brought with him articles of silver, of gold and of bronze.

nasb@2Samuel:7:14 @He put garrisons in Edom. In all Edom he put garrisons, and all the Edomites became servants to David. And the LORD helped David wherever he went.

nasb@2Samuel:7:18 @Benaiah the son of Jehoiada was over the Cherethites and the Pelethites; and David's sons were chief ministers.

nasb@2Samuel:8:4 @So 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 Lo-debar."

nasb@2Samuel:8:9 @Then the king called Saul's servant Ziba and said to him, " All that belonged to Saul and to all his house I have given to your master's grandson.

nasb@2Samuel:9:1 @Now it happened afterwards that the king of the Ammonites died, and Hanun his son became king in his place.

nasb@2Samuel:9:3 @the princes of the Ammonites said to Hanun their lord, "Do you think that David is honoring your father because he has sent consolers to you? Has David not sent his servants to you in order to search the city, to spy it out and overthrow it?"

nasb@2Samuel:9:4 @So Hanun took David's servants and shaved off half of their beards, and cut off their garments in the middle as far as their hips, and sent them away.

nasb@2Samuel:9:5 @When they told it to David, he sent to meet them, for the men were greatly humiliated. And the king said, "Stay at Jericho until your beards grow, and then return."

nasb@2Samuel:9:6 @Now when the sons of Ammon saw that they had become odious to David, the sons of Ammon sent and hired the Arameans of Beth-rehob and the Arameans of Zobah, 20,000 foot soldiers, and the king of Maacah with 1,000 men, and the men of Tob with 12,000 men.

nasb@2Samuel:9:12" @ Be strong, and let us show ourselves courageous for the sake of our people and for the cities of our God; and may the LORD do what is good in His sight."

nasb@2Samuel:9:13 @So Joab and the people who were with him drew near to the battle against the Arameans, and they fled before him.

nasb@2Samuel:9:14 @When the sons of Ammon saw that the Arameans fled, they also fled before Abishai and entered the city. Then Joab returned from fighting against the sons of Ammon and came to Jerusalem.

nasb@2Samuel:9:15 @When the Arameans saw that they had been defeated by Israel, they gathered themselves together.

nasb@2Samuel:9:16 @And Hadadezer sent and brought out the Arameans who were beyond the River, and they came to Helam; and Shobach the commander of the army of Hadadezer led them.

nasb@2Samuel:9:18 @But the Arameans fled before Israel, and David killed 700 charioteers of the Arameans and 40,000 horsemen and struck down Shobach the commander of their army, and he died there.

nasb@2Samuel:10:1 @Then it happened in the spring, at the time when kings go out to battle, that David sent Joab and his servants with him and all Israel, and they destroyed the sons of Ammon and besieged Rabbah. But David stayed at Jerusalem.

nasb@2Samuel:10:2 @Now when evening came David arose from his bed and walked around on the roof of the king's house, and from the roof he saw a woman bathing; and the woman was very beautiful in appearance.

nasb@2Samuel:10:13 @Now David called him, and he ate and drank before him, and he made him drunk; and in the evening he went out to lie on his bed with his lord's servants, but he did not go down to his house.

nasb@2Samuel:10:15 @He had written in the letter, saying, "Place Uriah in the front line of the fiercest battle and withdraw from him, so that he may be struck down and die."

nasb@2Samuel:10:21 @'Who struck down Abimelech the son of Jerubbesheth? Did not a woman throw an upper millstone on him from the wall so that he died at Thebez? Why did you go so near the wall?'--then you shall say, 'Your servant Uriah the Hittite is dead also.'"

nasb@2Samuel:10:27 @When the time of mourning was over, David sent and brought her to his house and she became his wife; then she bore him a son. But the thing that David had done was evil in the sight of the LORD.

nasb@2Samuel:10:6" @He must make restitution for the lamb fourfold, because he did this thing and had no compassion."

nasb@2Samuel:10:8 @'I also gave you your master's house and your master's wives into your care, and I gave you the house of Israel and Judah; and if that had been too little, I would have added to you many more things like these!

nasb@2Samuel:10:9 @'Why have you despised the word of the LORD by doing evil in His sight? You have struck down Uriah the Hittite with the sword, have taken his wife to be your wife, and have killed him with the sword of the sons of Ammon.

nasb@2Samuel:10:14" @However, because by this deed you have given occasion to the enemies of the LORD to blaspheme, the child also that is born to you shall surely die."

nasb@2Samuel:10:17 @The elders of his household stood beside him in order to raise him up from the ground, but he was unwilling and would not eat food with them.

nasb@2Samuel:10:18 @Then it happened on the seventh day that the child died. And the servants of David were afraid to tell him that the child was dead, for they said, "Behold, while the child was still alive, we spoke to him and he did not listen to our voice. How then can we tell him that the child is dead, since he might do himself harm!"

nasb@2Samuel:10:20 @So David arose from the ground, washed, anointed himself, and changed his clothes; and he came into the house of the LORD and worshiped. Then he came to his own house, and when he requested, they set food before him and he ate.

nasb@2Samuel:10:22 @He said, "While the child was still alive, I fasted and wept; for I said, ' Who knows, the LORD may be gracious to me, that the child may live.'

nasb@2Samuel:10:28" @Now therefore, gather the rest of the people together and camp against the city and capture it, or I will capture the city myself and it will be named after me."

nasb@2Samuel:11:1 @Now it was after this that Absalom the son of David had a beautiful sister whose name was Tamar, and Amnon the son of David loved her.

nasb@2Samuel:11:2 @Amnon was so frustrated because of his sister Tamar that he made himself ill, for she was a virgin, and it seemed hard to Amnon to do anything to her.

nasb@2Samuel:11:5 @Jonadab then said to him, "Lie down on your bed and pretend to be ill; when your father comes to see you, say to him, 'Please let my sister Tamar come and give me some food to eat, and let her prepare the food in my sight, that I may see it and eat from her hand.'"

nasb@2Samuel:11:6 @So Amnon lay down and pretended to be ill; when the king came to see him, Amnon said to the king, "Please let my sister Tamar come and make me a couple of cakes in my sight, that I may eat from her hand."

nasb@2Samuel:11:9 @She took the pan and dished them out before him, but he refused to eat. And Amnon said, " Have everyone go out from me." So everyone went out from him.

nasb@2Samuel:11:10 @Then Amnon said to Tamar, "Bring the food into the bedroom, that I may eat from your hand." So Tamar took the cakes which she had made and brought them into the bedroom to her brother Amnon.

nasb@2Samuel:11:13" @As for me, where could I get rid of my reproach? And as for you, you will be like one of the fools in Israel. Now therefore, please speak to the king, for he will not withhold me from you."

nasb@2Samuel:11:16 @But she said to him, "No, because this wrong in sending me away is greater than the other that you have done to me!" Yet he would not listen to her.

nasb@2Samuel:11:17 @Then he called his young man who attended him and said, "Now throw this woman out of my presence, and lock the door behind her."

nasb@2Samuel:11:18 @Now she had on a long-sleeved garment; for in this manner the virgin daughters of the king dressed themselves in robes. Then his attendant took her out and locked the door behind her.

nasb@2Samuel:11:20 @Then Absalom her brother said to her, "Has Amnon your brother been with you? But now keep silent, my sister, he is your brother; do not take this matter to heart." So Tamar remained and was desolate in her brother Absalom's house.

nasb@2Samuel:11:22 @But Absalom did not speak to Amnon either good or bad; for Absalom hated Amnon because he had violated his sister Tamar.

nasb@2Samuel:11:25 @But the king said to Absalom, "No, my son, we should not all go, for we will be burdensome to you." Although he urged him, he would not go, but blessed him.

nasb@2Samuel:11:34 @Now Absalom had fled. And the young man who was the watchman raised his eyes and looked, and behold, many people were coming from the road behind him by the side of the mountain.

nasb@2Samuel:14:8" @ The LORD has returned upon you all the bloodshed of the house of Saul, in whose place you have reigned; and the LORD has given the kingdom into the hand of your son Absalom. And behold, you are taken in your own evil, for you are a man of bloodshed!"

nasb@2Samuel:14:11 @Then David said to Abishai and to all his servants, "Behold, my son who came out from me seeks my life; how much more now this Benjamite? Let him alone and let him curse, for the LORD has told him.

nasb@2Samuel:14:18 @Then Hushai said to Absalom, "No! For whom the LORD, this people, and all the men of Israel have chosen, his I will be, and with him I will remain.

nasb@2Samuel:14:19" @Besides, whom should I serve? Should I not serve in the presence of his son? As I have served in your father's presence, so I will be in your presence."

nasb@2Samuel:14:21 @Ahithophel said to Absalom, " Go in to your father's concubines, whom he has left to keep the house; then all Israel will hear that you have made yourself odious to your father. The hands of all who are with you will also be strengthened."

nasb@2Samuel:14:3 @and I will bring back all the people to you. The return of everyone depends on the man you seek; then all the people will be at peace."

nasb@2Samuel:14:8 @Moreover, Hushai said, "You know your father and his men, that they are mighty men and they are fierce, like a bear robbed of her cubs in the field. And your father is an expert in warfare, and will not spend the night with the people.

nasb@2Samuel:14:9" @Behold, he has now hidden himself in one of the caves or in another place; and it will be when he falls on them at the first attack, that whoever hears it will say, 'There has been a slaughter among the people who follow Absalom.'

nasb@2Samuel:14:11" @But I counsel that all Israel be surely gathered to you, from Dan even to Beersheba, as the sand that is by the sea in abundance, and that you personally go into battle.

nasb@2Samuel:14:12" @So we shall come to him in one of the places where he can be found, and we will fall on him as the dew falls on the ground; and of him and of all the men who are with him, not even one will be left.

nasb@2Samuel:14:14 @Then Absalom and all the men of Israel said, "The counsel of Hushai the Archite is better than the counsel of Ahithophel." For the LORD had ordained to thwart the good counsel of Ahithophel, so that the LORD might bring calamity on Absalom.

nasb@2Samuel:14:16" @Now therefore, send quickly and tell David, saying, ' Do not spend the night at the fords of the wilderness, but by all means cross over, or else the king and all the people who are with him will be destroyed.'"

nasb@2Samuel:14:17 @Now Jonathan and Ahimaaz were staying at En-rogel, and a maidservant would go and tell them, and they would go and tell King David, for they could not be seen entering the city.

nasb@2Samuel:15:1 @Then David numbered the people who were with him and set over them commanders of thousands and commanders of hundreds.

nasb@2Samuel:15:3 @But the people said, " You should not go out; for if we indeed flee, they will not care about us; even if half of us die, they will not care about us. But you are worth ten thousand of us; therefore now it is better that you be ready to help us from the city."

nasb@2Samuel:15:4 @Then the king said to them, "Whatever seems best to you I will do." So the king stood beside the gate, and all the people went out by hundreds and thousands.

nasb@2Samuel:15:7 @The people of Israel were defeated there before the servants of David, and the slaughter there that day was great, 20,000 men.

nasb@2Samuel:15:9 @Now Absalom happened to meet the servants of David. For Absalom was riding on his mule, and the mule went under the thick branches of a great oak. And his head caught fast in the oak, so he was left hanging between heaven and earth, while the mule that was under him kept going.

nasb@2Samuel:15:10 @When a certain man saw it, he told Joab and said, "Behold, I saw Absalom hanging in an oak."

nasb@2Samuel:15:11 @Then Joab said to the man who had told him, "Now behold, you saw him! Why then did you not strike him there to the ground? And I would have given you ten pieces of silver and a belt."

nasb@2Samuel:15:20 @But Joab said to him, "You are not the man to carry news this day, but you shall carry news another day; however, you shall carry no news today because the king's son is dead."

nasb@2Samuel:15:24 @Now David was sitting between the two gates; and the watchman went up to the roof of the gate by the wall, and raised his eyes and looked, and behold, a man running by himself.

nasb@2Samuel:15:26 @Then the watchman saw another man running; and the watchman called to the gatekeeper and said, "Behold, another man running by himself." And the king said, "This one also is bringing good news."

nasb@2Samuel:15:28 @Ahimaaz called and said to the king, " All is well." And he prostrated himself before the king with his face to the ground. And he said, " Blessed is the LORD your God, who has delivered up the men who lifted their hands against my lord the king."

nasb@2Samuel:15:31 @Behold, the Cushite arrived, and the Cushite said, "Let my lord the king receive good news, for the LORD has freed you this day from the hand of all those who rose up against you."

nasb@2Samuel:15:32 @Then the king said to the Cushite, " Is it well with the young man Absalom?" And the Cushite answered, " Let the enemies of my lord the king, and all who rise up against you for evil, be as that young man!"

nasb@2Samuel:15:33 @The king was deeply moved and went up to the chamber over the gate and wept. And thus he said as he walked, " O my son Absalom, my son, my son Absalom! Would I had died instead of you, O Absalom, my son, my son!"

nasb@2Samuel:16:1 @Then it was told Joab, "Behold, the king is weeping and mourns for Absalom."

nasb@2Samuel:16:6 @by loving those who hate you, and by hating those who love you. For you have shown today that princes and servants are nothing to you; for I know this day that if Absalom were alive and all of us were dead today, then you would be pleased.

nasb@2Samuel:16:7" @Now therefore arise, go out and speak kindly to your servants, for I swear by the LORD, if you do not go out, surely not a man will pass the night with you, and this will be worse for you than all the evil that has come upon you from your youth until now."

nasb@2Samuel:16:8 @So the king arose and sat in the gate. When they told all the people, saying, "Behold, the king is sitting in the gate," then all the people came before the king. Now Israel had fled, each to his tent.

nasb@2Samuel:16:9 @All the people were quarreling throughout all the tribes of Israel, saying, " The king delivered us from the hand of our enemies and saved us from the hand of the Philistines, but now he has fled out of the land from Absalom.

nasb@2Samuel:16:16 @Then Shimei the son of Gera, the Benjamite who was from Bahurim, hurried and came down with the men of Judah to meet King David.

nasb@2Samuel:16:17 @There were a thousand men of Benjamin with him, with Ziba the servant of the house of Saul, and his fifteen sons and his twenty servants with him; and they rushed to the Jordan before the king.

nasb@2Samuel:16:18 @Then they kept crossing the ford to bring over the king's household, and to do what was good in his sight. And Shimei the son of Gera fell down before the king as he was about to cross the Jordan.

nasb@2Samuel:16:19 @So he said to the king, " Let not my lord consider me guilty, nor remember what your servant did wrong on the day when my lord the king came out from Jerusalem, so that the king would take it to heart.

nasb@2Samuel:16:20" @For your servant knows that I have sinned; therefore behold, I have come today, the first of all the house of Joseph to go down to meet my lord the king."

nasb@2Samuel:16:21 @But Abishai the son of Zeruiah said, " Should not Shimei be put to death for this, because he cursed the LORD'S anointed?"

nasb@2Samuel:16:22 @David then said, " What have I to do with you, O sons of Zeruiah, that you should this day be an adversary to me? Should any man be put to death in Israel today? For do I not know that I am king over Israel today?"

nasb@2Samuel:16:26 @So he answered, "O my lord, the king, my servant deceived me; for your servant said, 'I will saddle a donkey for myself that I may ride on it and go with the king,' because your servant is lame.

nasb@2Samuel:16:28" @For all my father's household was nothing but dead men before my lord the king; yet you set your servant among those who ate at your own table. What right do I have yet that I should complain anymore to the king?"

nasb@2Samuel:16:32 @Now Barzillai was very old, being eighty years old; and he had sustained the king while he stayed at Mahanaim, for he was a very great man.

nasb@2Samuel:16:35" @I am now eighty years old. Can I distinguish between good and bad? Or can your servant taste what I eat or what I drink? Or can I hear anymore the voice of singing men and women? Why then should your servant be an added burden to my lord the king?

nasb@2Samuel:16:41 @And behold, all the men of Israel came to the king and said to the king, " Why had our brothers the men of Judah stolen you away, and brought the king and his household and all David's men with him over the Jordan?"

nasb@2Samuel:16:42 @Then all the men of Judah answered the men of Israel, "Because the king is a close relative to us. Why then are you angry about this matter? Have we eaten at all at the king's expense, or has anything been taken for us?"

nasb@2Samuel:17:1 @Now a worthless fellow happened to be there whose name was Sheba, the son of Bichri, a Benjamite; and he blew the trumpet and said, " We have no portion in David, Nor do we have inheritance in the son of Jesse; Every man to his tents, O Israel!"

nasb@2Samuel:17:4 @Then the king said to Amasa, "Call out the men of Judah for me within three days, and be present here yourself."

nasb@2Samuel:17:8 @When they were at the large stone which is in Gibeon, Amasa came to meet them. Now Joab was dressed in his military attire, and over it was a belt with a sword in its sheath fastened at his waist; and as he went forward, it fell out.

nasb@2Samuel:17:9 @Joab said to Amasa, "Is it well with you, my brother?" And Joab took Amasa by the beard with his right hand to kiss him.

nasb@2Samuel:17:10 @But Amasa was not on guard against the sword which was in Joab's hand so he struck him in the belly with it and poured out his inward parts on the ground, and did not strike him again, and he died. Then Joab and Abishai his brother pursued Sheba the son of Bichri.

nasb@2Samuel:17:14 @Now he went through all the tribes of Israel to Abel, even Beth-maacah, and all the Berites; and they were gathered together and also went after him.

nasb@2Samuel:17:15 @They came and besieged him in Abel Beth-maacah, and they cast up a siege ramp against the city, and it stood by the rampart; and all the people who were with Joab were wreaking destruction in order to topple the wall.

nasb@2Samuel:17:21" @Such is not the case. But a man from the hill country of Ephraim, Sheba the son of Bichri by name, has lifted up his hand against King David.

nasb@2Samuel:18:1 @Now there was a famine in the days of David for three years, year after year; and David sought the presence of the LORD. And the LORD said, "It is for Saul and his bloody house, because he put the Gibeonites to death."

nasb@2Samuel:18:2 @So the king called the Gibeonites and spoke to them (now the Gibeonites were not of the sons of Israel but of the remnant of the Amorites, and the sons of Israel made a covenant with them, but Saul had sought to kill them in his zeal for the sons of Israel and Judah).

nasb@2Samuel:18:3 @Thus David said to the Gibeonites, "What should I do for you? And how can I make atonement that you may bless the inheritance of the LORD?"

nasb@2Samuel:18:9 @Then he gave them into the hands of the Gibeonites, and they hanged them in the mountain before the LORD, so that the seven of them fell together; and they were put to death in the first days of harvest at the beginning of barley harvest.

nasb@2Samuel:18:12 @then 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 square of Beth-shan, where the Philistines had hanged them on the day the Philistines struck down Saul in Gilboa.

nasb@2Samuel:18:13 @He brought up the bones of Saul and the bones of Jonathan his son from there, and they gathered the bones of those who had been hanged.

nasb@2Samuel:18:14 @They buried the bones of Saul and Jonathan his son in the country of Benjamin in Zela, in the grave of Kish his father; thus they did all that the king commanded, and after that God was moved by prayer for the land.

nasb@2Samuel:18:15 @Now when the Philistines were at war again with Israel, David went down and his servants with him; and as they fought against the Philistines, David became weary.

nasb@2Samuel:18:16 @Then Ishbi-benob, who was among the descendants of the giant, the weight of whose spear was three hundred shekels of bronze in weight, was girded with a new sword, and he intended to kill David.

nasb@2Samuel:18:18 @Now it came about after this that there was war again with the Philistines at Gob; then Sibbecai the Hushathite struck down Saph, who was among the descendants of the giant.

nasb@1Kings:2:15 @So he said, "You know that the kingdom was mine and that all Israel expected me to be king; however, the kingdom has turned about and become my brother's, for it was his from the LORD.

nasb@1Kings:2:19 @So Bathsheba went to King Solomon to speak to him for Adonijah. And the king arose to meet her, bowed before her, and sat on his throne; then he had a throne set for the king's mother, and she sat on his right.

nasb@1Kings:2:21 @So she said, " Let Abishag the Shunammite be given to Adonijah your brother as a wife."

nasb@1Kings:2:24" @Now therefore, as the LORD lives, who has established me and set me on the throne of David my father and who has made me a house as He promised, surely Adonijah shall be put to death today."

nasb@1Kings:2:25 @So King Solomon sent Benaiah the son of Jehoiada; and he fell upon him so that he died.

nasb@1Kings:2:26 @Then to Abiathar the priest the king said, " Go to Anathoth to your own field, for you deserve to die; but I will not put you to death at this time, because you carried the ark of the Lord GOD before my father David, and because you were afflicted in everything with which my father was afflicted."

nasb@1Kings:2:27 @So Solomon dismissed Abiathar from being priest to the LORD, in order to fulfill the word of the LORD, which He had spoken concerning the house of Eli in Shiloh.

nasb@1Kings:2:29 @It was told King Solomon that Joab had fled to the tent of the LORD, and behold, he is beside the altar. Then Solomon sent Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, saying, " Go, fall upon him."

nasb@1Kings:2:30 @So Benaiah came to the tent of the LORD and said to him, "Thus the king has said, 'Come out.'" But he said, "No, for I will die here." And Benaiah brought the king word again, saying, "Thus spoke Joab, and thus he answered me."

nasb@1Kings:2:32" @ The LORD will return his blood on his own head, because he fell upon two men more righteous and better than he and killed them with the sword, while my father David did not know it- Abner the son of Ner, commander of the army of Israel, and Amasa the son of Jether, commander of the army of Judah.

nasb@1Kings:2:33" @ So shall their blood return on the head of Joab and on the head of his descendants forever; but to David and his descendants and his house and his throne, may there be peace from the LORD forever."

nasb@1Kings:2:34 @Then Benaiah the son of Jehoiada went up and fell upon him and put him to death, and he was buried at his own house in the wilderness.

nasb@1Kings:2:35 @The king appointed Benaiah the son of Jehoiada over the army in his place, and the king appointed Zadok the priest in the place of Abiathar.

nasb@1Kings:2:37" @For on the day you go out and cross over the brook Kidron, you will know for certain that you shall surely die; your blood shall be on your own head."

nasb@1Kings:2:39 @But it came about at the end of three years, that two of the servants of Shimei ran away to Achish son of Maacah, king of Gath. And they told Shimei, saying, "Behold, your servants are in Gath."

nasb@1Kings:2:45" @But King Solomon shall be blessed, and the throne of David shall be established before the LORD forever."

nasb@1Kings:2:46 @So the king commanded Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, and he went out and fell upon him so that he died. Thus the kingdom was established in the hands of Solomon.

nasb@1Kings:3:2 @The people were still sacrificing on the high places, because there was no house built for the name of the LORD until those days.

nasb@1Kings:3:4 @The king went to Gibeon to sacrifice there, for that was the great high place; Solomon offered a thousand burnt offerings on that altar.

nasb@1Kings:3:5 @In Gibeon the LORD appeared to Solomon in a dream at night; and God said, " Ask what you wish me to give you."

nasb@1Kings:3:6 @Then Solomon said, " You have shown great lovingkindness to Your servant David my father, according as he walked before You in truth and righteousness and uprightness of heart toward You; and You have reserved for him this great lovingkindness, that You have given him a son to sit on his throne, as it is this day.

nasb@1Kings:3:11 @God said to him, "Because you have asked this thing and have not asked for yourself long life, nor have asked riches for yourself, nor have you asked for the life of your enemies, but have asked for yourself discernment to understand justice,

nasb@1Kings:3:12 @behold, I have done according to your words. Behold, I have given you a wise and discerning heart, so that there has been no one like you before you, nor shall one like you arise after you.

nasb@1Kings:3:13" @ I have also given you what you have not asked, both riches and honor, so that there will not be any among the kings like you all your days.

nasb@1Kings:3:15 @Then Solomon awoke, and behold, it was a dream. And he came to Jerusalem and stood before the ark of the covenant of the Lord, and offered burnt offerings and made peace offerings, and made a feast for all his servants.

nasb@1Kings:3:16 @Then two women who were harlots came to the king and stood before him.

nasb@1Kings:3:19" @This woman's son died in the night, because she lay on it.

nasb@1Kings:3:20" @So she arose in the middle of the night and took my son from beside me while your maidservant slept, and laid him in her bosom, and laid her dead son in my bosom.

nasb@1Kings:3:22 @Then the other woman said, "No! For the living one is my son, and the dead one is your son." But the first woman said, "No! For the dead one is your son, and the living one is my son." Thus they spoke before the king.

nasb@1Kings:3:24 @The king said, "Get me a sword." So they brought a sword before the king.

nasb@1Kings:3:26 @Then the woman whose child was the living one spoke to the king, for she was deeply stirred over her son and said, "Oh, my lord, give her the living child, and by no means kill him." But the other said, "He shall be neither mine nor yours; divide him!"

nasb@1Kings:4:4 @and Benaiah the son of Jehoiada was over the army; and Zadok and Abiathar were priests;

nasb@1Kings:4:28 @They also brought barley and straw for the horses and swift steeds to the place where it should be, each according to his charge.

nasb@1Kings:5:1 @Now Hiram king of Tyre sent his servants to Solomon, when he heard that they had anointed him king in place of his father, for Hiram had always been a friend of David.

nasb@1Kings:5:3" @You know that David my father was unable to build a house for the name of the LORD his God because of the wars which surrounded him, until the LORD put them under the soles of his feet.

nasb@1Kings:5:5" @Behold, I intend to build a house for the name of the LORD my God, as the LORD spoke to David my father, saying, 'Your son, whom I will set on your throne in your place, he will build the house for My name.'

nasb@1Kings:5:6" @Now therefore, command that they cut for me cedars from Lebanon, and my servants will be with your servants; and I will give you wages for your servants according to all that you say, for you know that there is no one among us who knows how to cut timber like the Sidonians."

nasb@1Kings:5:7 @When Hiram heard the words of Solomon, he rejoiced greatly and said, "Blessed be the LORD today, who has given to David a wise son over this great people."

nasb@1Kings:5:8 @So Hiram sent word to Solomon, saying, "I have heard the message which you have sent me; I will do what you desire concerning the cedar and cypress timber.

nasb@1Kings:5:10 @So Hiram gave Solomon as much as he desired of the cedar and cypress timber.

nasb@1Kings:5:11 @Solomon then gave Hiram 20,000 kors of wheat as food for his household, and twenty kors of beaten oil; thus Solomon would give Hiram year by year.

nasb@1Kings:5:12 @The LORD gave wisdom to Solomon, just as He promised him; and there was peace between Hiram and Solomon, and the two of them made a covenant.

nasb@1Kings:5:13 @Now King Solomon levied forced laborers from all Israel; and the forced laborers numbered 30,000 men.

nasb@1Kings:5:16 @besides Solomon's 3,300 chief deputies who were over the project and who ruled over the people who were doing the work.

nasb@1Kings:5:18 @So Solomon's builders and Hiram's builders and the Gebalites cut them, and prepared the timbers and the stones to build the house.

nasb@1Kings:6:1 @Now it came about in the four hundred and eightieth year after the sons of Israel came out of the land of Egypt, in the fourth year of Solomon's reign over Israel, in the month of Ziv which is the second month, that he began to build the house of the LORD.

nasb@1Kings:6:5 @Against the wall of the house he built stories encompassing the walls of the house around both the nave and the inner sanctuary; thus he made side chambers all around.

nasb@1Kings:6:6 @The lowest story was five cubits wide, and the middle was six cubits wide, and the third was seven cubits wide; for on the outside he made offsets in the wall of the house all around in order that the beams would not be inserted in the walls of the house.

nasb@1Kings:6:7 @The house, while it was being built, was built of stone prepared at the quarry, and there was neither hammer nor axe nor any iron tool heard in the house while it was being built.

nasb@1Kings:6:8 @The doorway for the lowest side chamber was on the right side of the house; and they would go up by winding stairs to the middle story, and from the middle to the third.

nasb@1Kings:6:9 @So he built the house and finished it; and he covered the house with beams and planks of cedar.

nasb@1Kings:6:10 @He also built the stories against the whole house, each five cubits high; and they were fastened to the house with timbers of cedar.

nasb@1Kings:6:36 @He built the inner court with three rows of cut stone and a row of cedar beams.

nasb@1Kings:7:2 @He built the house of the forest of Lebanon; its length was 100 cubits and its width 50 cubits and its height 30 cubits, on four rows of cedar pillars with cedar beams on the pillars.

nasb@1Kings:7:3 @It was paneled with cedar above the side chambers which were on the 45 pillars, 15 in each row.

nasb@1Kings:7:12 @So the great court all around had three rows of cut stone and a row of cedar beams even as the inner court of the house of the LORD, and the porch of the house.

nasb@1Kings:7:14 @He was a widow's son from the tribe of Naphtali, and his father was a man of Tyre, a worker in bronze; and he was filled with wisdom and understanding and skill for doing any work in bronze. So he came to King Solomon and performed all his work.

nasb@1Kings:7:20 @There were capitals on the two pillars, even above and close to the rounded projection which was beside the network; and the pomegranates numbered two hundred in rows around both capitals.

nasb@1Kings:7:28 @This was the design of the stands- they had borders, even borders between the frames,

nasb@1Kings:7:29 @and on the borders which were between the frames were lions, oxen and cherubim; and on the frames there was a pedestal above, and beneath the lions and oxen were wreaths of hanging work.

nasb@1Kings:7:30 @Now each stand had four bronze wheels with bronze axles, and its four feet had supports; beneath the basin were cast supports with wreaths at each side.

nasb@1Kings:7:46 @In the plain of the Jordan the king cast them, in the clay ground between Succoth and Zarethan.

nasb@1Kings:7:47 @Solomon left all the utensils unweighed, because they were too many; the weight of the bronze could not be ascertained.

nasb@1Kings:8:1 @Then Solomon assembled the elders of Israel and all the heads of the tribes, the leaders of the fathers' households of the sons of Israel, to King Solomon in Jerusalem, to bring up the ark of the covenant of the LORD from the city of David, which is Zion.

nasb@1Kings:8:5 @And King Solomon and all the congregation of Israel, who were assembled to him, were with him before the ark, sacrificing so many sheep and oxen they could not be counted or numbered.

nasb@1Kings:8:8 @But the poles were so long that the ends of the poles could be seen from the holy place before the inner sanctuary, but they could not be seen outside; they are there to this day.

nasb@1Kings:8:11 @so that the priests could not stand to minister because of the cloud, for the glory of the LORD filled the house of the LORD.

nasb@1Kings:8:15 @He said, " Blessed be the LORD, the God of Israel, who spoke with His mouth to my father David and has fulfilled it with His hand, saying,

nasb@1Kings:8:16 @' Since the day that I brought My people Israel from Egypt, I did not choose a city out of all the tribes of Israel in which to build a house that My name might be there, but I chose David to be over My people Israel.'

nasb@1Kings:8:18" @But the LORD said to my father David, 'Because it was in your heart to build a house for My name, you did well that it was in your heart.

nasb@1Kings:8:19 @' Nevertheless you shall not build the house, but your son who will be born to you, he will build the house for My name.'

nasb@1Kings:8:22 @Then Solomon stood before the altar of the LORD in the presence of all the assembly of Israel and spread out his hands toward heaven.

nasb@1Kings:8:23 @He said, "O LORD, the God of Israel, there is no God like You in heaven above or on earth beneath, keeping covenant and showing lovingkindness to Your servants who walk before You with all their heart,

nasb@1Kings:8:29 @that Your eyes may be open toward this house night and day, toward the place of which You have said, 'My name shall be there,' to listen to the prayer which Your servant shall pray toward this place.

nasb@1Kings:13:2 @He cried against the altar by the word of the LORD, and said, "O altar, altar, thus says the LORD, 'Behold, a son shall be born to the house of David, Josiah by name; and on you he shall sacrifice the priests of the high places who burn incense on you, and human bones shall be burned on you.'"

nasb@1Kings:13:3 @Then he gave a sign the same day, saying, " This is the sign which the LORD has spoken, 'Behold, the altar shall be split apart and the ashes which are on it shall be poured out.'"

nasb@1Kings:13:4 @Now when the king heard the saying of the man of God, which he cried against the altar in Bethel, Jeroboam stretched out his hand from the altar, saying, "Seize him." But his hand which he stretched out against him dried up, so that he could not draw it back to himself.

nasb@1Kings:13:6 @The king said to the man of God, "Please entreat the LORD your God, and pray for me, that my hand may be restored to me." So the man of God entreated the LORD, and the king's hand was restored to him, and it became as it was before.

nasb@1Kings:13:10 @So he went another way and did not return by the way which he came to Bethel.

nasb@1Kings:13:11 @Now an old prophet was living in Bethel; and his sons came and told him all the deeds which the man of God had done that day in Bethel; the words which he had spoken to the king, these also they related to their father.

nasb@1Kings:13:26 @Now when the prophet who brought him back from the way heard it, he said, "It is the man of God, who disobeyed the command of the LORD; therefore the LORD has given him to the lion, which has torn him and killed him, according to the word of the LORD which He spoke to him."

nasb@1Kings:13:28 @He went and found his body thrown on the road with the donkey and the lion standing beside the body; the lion had not eaten the body nor torn the donkey.

nasb@1Kings:13:31 @After he had buried him, he spoke to his sons, saying, "When I die, bury me in the grave in which the man of God is buried; lay my bones beside his bones.

nasb@1Kings:13:32" @ For the thing shall surely come to pass which he cried by the word of the LORD against the altar in Bethel and against all the houses of the high places which are in the cities of Samaria."

nasb@1Kings:13:33 @After this event Jeroboam did not return from his evil way, but again he made priests of the high places from among all the people; any who would, he ordained, to be priests of the high places.

nasb@1Kings:13:34 @This event became sin to the house of Jeroboam, even to blot it out and destroy it from off the face of the earth.

nasb@1Kings:14:1 @At that time Abijah the son of Jeroboam became sick.

nasb@1Kings:14:2 @Jeroboam said to his wife, "Arise now, and disguise yourself so that they will not know that you are the wife of Jeroboam, and go to Shiloh; behold, Ahijah the prophet is there, who spoke concerning me that I would be king over this people.

nasb@1Kings:14:4 @Jeroboam's wife did so, and arose and went to Shiloh, and came to the house of Ahijah. Now Ahijah could not see, for his eyes were dim because of his age.

nasb@1Kings:14:5 @Now the LORD had said to Ahijah, "Behold, the wife of Jeroboam is coming to inquire of you concerning her son, for he is sick. You shall say thus and thus to her, for it will be when she arrives that she will pretend to be another woman."

nasb@1Kings:14:13" @All Israel shall mourn for him and bury him, for he alone of Jeroboam's family will come to the grave, because in him something good was found toward the LORD God of Israel in the house of Jeroboam.

nasb@1Kings:14:15" @For the LORD will strike Israel, as a reed is shaken in the water; and He will uproot Israel from this good land which He gave to their fathers, and will scatter them beyond the Euphrates River, because they have made their Asherim, provoking the LORD to anger.

nasb@1Kings:14:19 @Now the rest of the acts of Jeroboam, how he made war and how he reigned, behold, they are written in the Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Israel.

nasb@1Kings:14:21 @Now Rehoboam the son of Solomon reigned in Judah. Rehoboam was forty-one years old when he became king, and he reigned seventeen years in Jerusalem, the city which the LORD had chosen from all the tribes of Israel to put His name there. And his mother's name was Naamah the Ammonitess.

nasb@1Kings:14:23 @For they also built for themselves high places and sacred pillars and Asherim on every high hill and beneath every luxuriant tree.

nasb@1Kings:14:24 @There were also male cult prostitutes in the land. They did according to all the abominations of the nations which the LORD dispossessed before the sons of Israel.

nasb@1Kings:14:30 @There was war between Rehoboam and Jeroboam continually.

nasb@1Kings:14:31 @And Rehoboam slept with his fathers and was buried with his fathers in the city of David; and his mother's name was Naamah the Ammonitess. And Abijam his son became king in his place.

nasb@1Kings:15:1 @Now in the eighteenth year of King Jeroboam, the son of Nebat, Abijam became king over Judah.

nasb@1Kings:15:3 @He walked in all the sins of his father which he had committed before him; and his heart was not wholly devoted to the LORD his God, like the heart of his father David.

nasb@1Kings:15:5 @because David did what was right in the sight of the LORD, and had not turned aside from anything that He commanded him all the days of his life, except in the case of Uriah the Hittite.

nasb@1Kings:15:6 @There was war between Rehoboam and Jeroboam all the days of his life.

nasb@1Kings:15:7 @Now 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.

nasb@1Kings:15:8 @And Abijam slept with his fathers and they buried him in the city of David; and Asa his son became king in his place.

nasb@1Kings:15:9 @So in the twentieth year of Jeroboam the king of Israel, Asa began to reign as king of Judah.

nasb@1Kings:15:13 @He also removed Maacah his mother from being queen mother, because she had made a horrid image as an Asherah; and Asa cut down her horrid image and burned it at the brook Kidron.

nasb@1Kings:15:16 @Now there was war between Asa and Baasha king of Israel all their days.

nasb@1Kings:15:18 @Then Asa took all the silver and the gold which were left in the treasuries of the house of the LORD and the treasuries of the king's house, and delivered 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 Aram, who lived in Damascus, saying,

nasb@1Kings:15:19" @Let there be a treaty between you and me, as between my father and your father. Behold, I have sent you a present of silver and gold; go, break your treaty with Baasha king of Israel so that he will withdraw from me."

nasb@1Kings:15:20 @So Ben-hadad listened to King Asa and sent the commanders of his armies against the cities of Israel, and conquered Ijon, Dan, Abel-beth-maacah and all Chinneroth, besides all the land of Naphtali.

nasb@1Kings:15:22 @Then King Asa made a proclamation to all Judah--none was exempt--and they carried away the stones of Ramah and its timber with which Baasha had built. And King Asa built with them Geba of Benjamin and Mizpah.

nasb@1Kings:15:25 @Now Nadab the son of Jeroboam became king over Israel in the second year of Asa king of Judah, and he reigned over Israel two years.

nasb@1Kings:15:27 @Then Baasha the son of Ahijah of the house of Issachar conspired against him, and Baasha struck him down at Gibbethon, which belonged to the Philistines, while Nadab and all Israel were laying siege to Gibbethon.

nasb@1Kings:15:30 @and because of the sins of Jeroboam which he sinned, and which he made Israel sin, because of his provocation with which he provoked the LORD God of Israel to anger.

nasb@1Kings:15:32 @There was war between Asa and Baasha king of Israel all their days.

nasb@1Kings:15:33 @In the third year of Asa king of Judah, Baasha the son of Ahijah became king over all Israel at Tirzah, and reigned twenty-four years.

nasb@1Kings:15:3 @behold, I will consume Baasha and his house, and I will make your house like the house of Jeroboam the son of Nebat.

nasb@1Kings:15:6 @And Baasha slept with his fathers and was buried in Tirzah, and Elah his son became king in his place.

nasb@1Kings:15:7 @Moreover, the word of the LORD through the prophet Jehu the son of Hanani also came against Baasha and his household, both because of all the evil which he did in the sight of the LORD, provoking Him to anger with the work of his hands, in being like the house of Jeroboam, and because he struck it.

nasb@1Kings:15:8 @In the twenty-sixth year of Asa king of Judah, Elah the son of Baasha became king over Israel at Tirzah, and reigned two years.

nasb@1Kings:15:10 @Then Zimri went in and struck him and put him to death in the twenty-seventh year of Asa king of Judah, and became king in his place.

nasb@1Kings:15:11 @It came about when he became king, as soon as he sat on his throne, that he killed all the household of Baasha; he did not leave a single male, neither of his relatives nor of his friends.

nasb@1Kings:15:15 @In the twenty-seventh year of Asa king of Judah, Zimri reigned seven days at Tirzah. Now the people were camped against Gibbethon, which belonged to the Philistines.

nasb@1Kings:15:17 @Then Omri and all Israel with him went up from Gibbethon and besieged Tirzah.

nasb@1Kings:15:19 @because of his sins which he sinned, doing evil in the sight of the LORD, walking in the way of Jeroboam, and in his sin which he did, making Israel sin.

nasb@1Kings:15:22 @But the people who followed Omri prevailed over the people who followed Tibni the son of Ginath. And Tibni died and Omri became king.

nasb@1Kings:15:23 @In the thirty-first year of Asa king of Judah, Omri became king over Israel and reigned twelve years; he reigned six years at Tirzah.

nasb@1Kings:15:25 @Omri did evil in the sight of the LORD, and acted more wickedly than all who were before him.

nasb@1Kings:15:28 @So Omri slept with his fathers and was buried in Samaria; and Ahab his son became king in his place.

nasb@1Kings:15:29 @Now Ahab the son of Omri became king 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.

nasb@1Kings:15:30 @Ahab the son of Omri did evil in the sight of the LORD more than all who were before him.

nasb@1Kings:15:31 @It came about, as though it had been a trivial thing for him to walk in the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, that he married Jezebel the daughter of Ethbaal king of the Sidonians, and went to serve Baal and worshiped him.

nasb@1Kings:15:33 @Ahab also made the Asherah. Thus Ahab did more to provoke the LORD God of Israel than all the kings of Israel who were before him.

nasb@1Kings:15:34 @In his days Hiel the Bethelite built Jericho; he laid its foundations with the loss of Abiram his firstborn, and set up its gates with the loss of his youngest son Segub, according to the word of the LORD, which He spoke by Joshua the son of Nun.

nasb@1Kings:16:1 @Now Elijah the Tishbite, who was of the settlers of Gilead, said to Ahab, " As the LORD, the God of Israel lives, before whom I stand, surely there shall be neither dew nor rain these years, except by my word."

nasb@1Kings:16:4" @It shall be that you will drink of the brook, and I have commanded the ravens to provide for you there."

nasb@1Kings:16:7 @It happened after a while that the brook dried up, because there was no rain in the land.

nasb@1Kings:16:9" @Arise, go to Zarephath, which belongs to Sidon, and stay there; behold, I have commanded a widow there to provide for you."

nasb@1Kings:16:10 @So he arose and went to Zarephath, and when he came to the gate of the city, behold, a widow was there gathering sticks; and he called to her and said, "Please get me a little water in a jar, that I may drink."

nasb@1Kings:16:12 @But she said, " As the LORD your God lives, I have no bread, only a handful of flour in the bowl and a little oil in the jar; and behold, I am gathering a few sticks that I may go in and prepare for me and my son, that we may eat it and die."

nasb@1Kings:16:16 @The bowl of flour was not exhausted nor did the jar of oil become empty, according to the word of the LORD which He spoke through Elijah.

nasb@1Kings:16:17 @Now it came about after these things that the son of the woman, the mistress of the house, became sick; and his sickness was so severe that there was no breath left in him.

nasb@1Kings:16:19 @He said to her, "Give me your son." Then he took him from her bosom and carried him up to the upper room where he was living, and laid him on his own bed.

nasb@1Kings:17:4 @for when Jezebel destroyed the prophets of the LORD, Obadiah took a hundred prophets and hid them by fifties in a cave, and provided them with bread and water.)

nasb@1Kings:17:6 @So they divided the land between them to survey it; Ahab went one way by himself and Obadiah went another way by himself.

nasb@1Kings:17:7 @Now as Obadiah was on the way, behold, Elijah met him, and he recognized him and fell on his face and said, "Is this you, Elijah my master?"

nasb@1Kings:17:8 @He said to him, "It is I. Go, say to your master, 'Behold, Elijah is here.'"

nasb@1Kings:17:11" @And now you are saying, 'Go, say to your master, "Behold, Elijah is here."'

nasb@1Kings:17:14" @And now you are saying, 'Go, say to your master, "Behold, Elijah is here"'; he will then kill me."

nasb@1Kings:17:15 @Elijah said, " As the LORD of hosts lives, before whom I stand, I will surely show myself to him today."

nasb@1Kings:17:18 @He said, "I have not troubled Israel, but you and your father's house have, because you have forsaken the commandments of the LORD and you have followed the Baals.

nasb@1Kings:17:19" @Now then send and gather to me all Israel at Mount Carmel, together with 450 prophets of Baal and 400 prophets of the Asherah, who eat at Jezebel's table."

nasb@1Kings:17:21 @Elijah came near to all the people and said, " How long will you hesitate between two opinions? If the LORD is God, follow Him; but if Baal, follow him." But the people did not answer him a word.

nasb@1Kings:17:27 @It came about at noon, that Elijah mocked them and said, "Call out with a loud voice, for he is a god; either he is occupied or gone aside, or is on a journey, or perhaps he is asleep and needs to be awakened."

nasb@1Kings:17:30 @Then Elijah said to all the people, "Come near to me." So all the people came near to him. And he repaired the altar of the LORD which had been torn down.

nasb@1Kings:17:31 @Elijah took twelve stones according to the number of the tribes of the sons of Jacob, to whom the word of the LORD had come, saying, " Israel shall be your name."

nasb@1Kings:17:36 @At the time of the offering of the evening sacrifice, Elijah the prophet came near and said, " O LORD, the God of Abraham, Isaac and Israel, today let it be known that You are God in Israel and that I am Your servant and I have done all these things at Your word.

nasb@1Kings:17:42 @So Ahab went up to eat and drink. But Elijah went up to the top of Carmel; and he crouched down on the earth and put his face between his knees.

nasb@1Kings:17:44 @It came about at the seventh time, that he said, "Behold, a cloud as small as a man's hand is coming up from the sea." And he said, "Go up, say to Ahab, 'Prepare your chariot and go down, so that the heavy shower does not stop you.'"

nasb@1Kings:18:1 @Now Ahab told Jezebel all that Elijah had done, and how he had killed all the prophets with the sword.

nasb@1Kings:18:2 @Then Jezebel sent a messenger to Elijah, saying, " So may the gods do to me and even more, if I do not make your life as the life of one of them by tomorrow about this time."

nasb@1Kings:18:3 @And he was afraid and arose and ran for his life and came to Beersheba, which belongs to Judah, and left his servant there.

nasb@1Kings:18:4 @But he himself went a day's journey into the wilderness, and came and sat down under a juniper tree; and he requested for himself that he might die, and said, "It is enough; now, O LORD, take my life, for I am not better than my fathers."

nasb@1Kings:18:6 @Then he looked and behold, there was at his head a bread cake baked on hot stones, and a jar of water. So he ate and drank and lay down again.

nasb@1Kings:18:7 @The angel of the LORD came again a second time and touched him and said, "Arise, eat, because the journey is too great for you."

nasb@1Kings:18:9 @Then he came there to a cave and lodged there; and behold, the word of the LORD came to him, and He said to him, "What are you doing here, Elijah?"

nasb@1Kings:18:10 @He said, " I have been very zealous for the LORD, the God of hosts; for the sons of Israel have forsaken Your covenant, torn down Your altars and killed Your prophets with the sword. And I alone am left; and they seek my life, to take it away."

nasb@1Kings:18:11 @So He said, " Go forth and stand on the mountain before the LORD." And behold, the LORD was passing by! And a great and strong wind was rending the mountains and breaking in pieces the rocks before the LORD; but the LORD was not in the wind. And after the wind an earthquake, but the LORD was not in the earthquake.

nasb@1Kings:18:13 @When Elijah heard it, 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 are you doing here, Elijah?"

nasb@1Kings:18:14 @Then he said, " I have been very zealous for the LORD, the God of hosts; for the sons of Israel have forsaken Your covenant, torn down Your altars and killed Your prophets with the sword. And I alone am left; and they seek my life, to take it away."

nasb@2Kings:19:13" @Go, inquire of the LORD for me and the people and all Judah concerning the words of this book that has been found, for great is the wrath of the LORD that burns against us, because our fathers have not listened to the words of this book, to do according to all that is written concerning us."

nasb@2Kings:19:14 @So Hilkiah the priest, Ahikam, Achbor, Shaphan, and Asaiah went to Huldah the prophetess, the wife of Shallum the son of Tikvah, the son of Harhas, keeper of the wardrobe (now she lived in Jerusalem in the Second Quarter); and they spoke to her.

nasb@2Kings:19:16 @thus says the LORD, "Behold, I bring evil on this place and on its inhabitants, even all the words of the book which the king of Judah has read.

nasb@2Kings:19:17" @ Because they have forsaken Me and have burned incense to other gods that they might provoke Me to anger with all the work of their hands, therefore My wrath burns against this place, and it shall not be quenched."'

nasb@2Kings:19:19 @because your heart was tender and you humbled yourself before the LORD when you heard what I spoke against this place and against its inhabitants that they should become a desolation and a curse, and you have torn your clothes and wept before Me, I truly have heard you," declares the LORD.

nasb@2Kings:19:20" @Therefore, behold, I will gather you to your fathers, and you will be gathered to your grave in peace, and your eyes will not see all the evil which I will bring on this place."'" So they brought back word to the king.

nasb@2Kings:20:3 @The king stood by the pillar and made a covenant before the LORD, to walk after the LORD, and to keep His commandments and His testimonies and His statutes with all his heart and all his soul, to carry out the words of this covenant that were written in this book. And all the people entered into the covenant.

nasb@2Kings:20:4 @Then the king commanded Hilkiah the high priest and the priests of the second order and the doorkeepers, to bring out of the temple of the LORD all the vessels that were made for Baal, for Asherah, and for all the host of heaven; and he burned them outside Jerusalem in the fields of the Kidron, and carried their ashes to Bethel.

nasb@2Kings:20:8 @Then he brought all the priests from the cities of Judah, and defiled the high places where the priests had burned incense, from Geba to Beersheba; and he broke down the high places of the gates which were at the entrance of the gate of Joshua the governor of the city, which were on one's left at the city gate.

nasb@2Kings:20:11 @He did away with the horses which the kings of Judah had given to the sun, at the entrance of the house of the LORD, by the chamber of Nathan-melech the official, which was in the precincts; and he burned the chariots of the sun with fire.

nasb@2Kings:20:12 @The altars which were on the roof, the upper chamber of Ahaz, which the kings of Judah had made, and the altars which Manasseh had made in the two courts of the house of the LORD, the king broke down; and he smashed them there and threw their dust into the brook Kidron.

nasb@2Kings:20:13 @The high places which were before Jerusalem, which were on the right of the mount of destruction which Solomon the king of Israel had built for Ashtoreth the abomination of the Sidonians, and for Chemosh the abomination of Moab, and for Milcom the abomination of the sons of Ammon, the king defiled.

nasb@2Kings:20:15 @Furthermore, the altar that was at Bethel and the high place which Jeroboam the son of Nebat, who made Israel sin, had made, even that altar and the high place he broke down. Then he demolished its stones, ground them to dust, and burned the Asherah.

nasb@2Kings:20:17 @Then he said, "What is this monument that I see?" And the men of the city told him, " It is the grave of the man of God who came from Judah and proclaimed these things which you have done against the altar of Bethel."

nasb@2Kings:20:18 @He said, "Let him alone; let no one disturb his bones." So they left his bones undisturbed with the bones of the prophet who came from Samaria.

nasb@2Kings:20:19 @Josiah also removed all the houses of the high places which were in the cities of Samaria, which the kings of Israel had made provoking the LORD; and he did to them just as he had done in Bethel.

nasb@2Kings:20:22 @Surely such a Passover had not been celebrated from the days of the judges who judged Israel, nor in all the days of the kings of Israel and of the kings of Judah.

nasb@2Kings:20:25 @Before him there was no king like him who turned to the LORD with all his heart and with all his soul and with all his might, according to all the law of Moses; nor did any like him arise after him.

nasb@2Kings:20:26 @However, the LORD did not turn from the fierceness of His great wrath with which His anger burned against Judah, because of all the provocations with which Manasseh had provoked Him.

nasb@2Kings:20:27 @The LORD said, "I will remove Judah also from My sight, as I have removed Israel. And I will cast off Jerusalem, this city which I have chosen, and the temple of which I said, 'My name shall be there.'"

nasb@2Chronicles:10:1 @Now when Rehoboam had come to Jerusalem, he assembled the house of Judah and Benjamin, 180,000 chosen men who were warriors, to fight against Israel to restore the kingdom to Rehoboam.

nasb@2Chronicles:12:2 @He reigned three years in Jerusalem; and his mother's name was Micaiah the daughter of Uriel of Gibeah. Now there was war between Abijah and Jeroboam.

nasb@2Chronicles:12:3 @Abijah began the battle with an army of valiant warriors, 400,000 chosen men, while Jeroboam drew up in battle formation against him with 800,000 chosen men who were valiant warriors.

nasb@2Chronicles:12:6" @Yet Jeroboam the son of Nebat, the servant of Solomon the son of David, rose up and rebelled against his master,

nasb@2Chronicles:12:8" @So now you intend to resist the kingdom of the LORD through the sons of David, being a great multitude and having with you the golden calves which Jeroboam made for gods for you.

nasb@2Chronicles:12:9" @ Have you not driven out the priests of the LORD, the sons of Aaron and the Levites, and made for yourselves priests like the peoples of other lands? Whoever comes to consecrate himself with a young bull and seven rams, even he may become a priest of what are no gods.

nasb@2Chronicles:12:12" @Now behold, God is with us at our head and His priests with the signal trumpets to sound the alarm against you. O sons of Israel, do not fight against the LORD God of your fathers, for you will not succeed."

nasb@2Chronicles:12:13 @But Jeroboam had set an ambush to come from the rear, so that Israel was in front of Judah and the ambush was behind them.

nasb@2Chronicles:12:14 @When Judah turned around, behold, they were attacked both front and rear; so they cried to the LORD, and the priests blew the trumpets.

nasb@2Chronicles:12:15 @Then the men of Judah raised a war cry, and when the men of Judah raised the war cry, then it was that God routed Jeroboam and all Israel before Abijah and Judah.

nasb@2Chronicles:12:16 @When the sons of Israel fled before Judah, God gave them into their hand.

nasb@2Chronicles:12:18 @Thus the sons of Israel were subdued at that time, and the sons of Judah conquered because they trusted in the LORD, the God of their fathers.

nasb@2Chronicles:12:19 @Abijah pursued Jeroboam and captured from him several cities, Bethel with its villages, Jeshanah with its villages and Ephron with its villages.

nasb@2Chronicles:12:21 @But Abijah became powerful; and took fourteen wives to himself, and became the father of twenty-two sons and sixteen daughters.

nasb@2Chronicles:13:1 @So Abijah slept with his fathers, and they buried him in the city of David, and his son Asa became king in his place. The land was undisturbed for ten years during his days.

nasb@2Chronicles:13:5 @He also removed the high places and the incense altars from all the cities of Judah. And the kingdom was undisturbed under him.

nasb@2Chronicles:13:6 @He built fortified cities in Judah, since the land was undisturbed, and there was no one at war with him during those years, because the LORD had given him rest.

nasb@2Chronicles:13:7 @For he said to Judah, " Let us build these cities and surround them with walls and towers, gates and bars. The land is still ours because we have sought the LORD our God; we have sought Him, and He has given us rest on every side." So they built and prospered.

nasb@2Chronicles:13:8 @Now Asa had an army of 300,000 from Judah, bearing large shields and spears, and 280,000 from Benjamin, bearing shields and wielding bows; all of them were valiant warriors.

nasb@2Chronicles:13:11 @Then Asa called to the LORD his God and said, "LORD, there is no one besides You to help in the battle between the powerful and those who have no strength; so help us, O LORD our God, for we trust in You, and in Your name have come against this multitude. O LORD, You are our God; let not man prevail against You."

nasb@2Chronicles:13:12 @So the LORD routed the Ethiopians before Asa and before Judah, and the Ethiopians fled.

nasb@2Chronicles:13:13 @Asa and the people who were with him pursued them as far as Gerar; and so many Ethiopians fell that they could not recover, for they were shattered before the LORD and before His army. And they carried away very much plunder.

nasb@2Chronicles:13:15 @They also struck down those who owned livestock, and they carried away large numbers of sheep and camels. Then they returned to Jerusalem.

nasb@2Chronicles:14:2 @and he went out to meet Asa and said to him, "Listen to me, Asa, and all Judah and Benjamin- the LORD is with you when you are with Him. And if you seek Him, He will let you find Him; but if you forsake Him, He will forsake you.

nasb@2Chronicles:14:7" @But you, be strong and do not lose courage, for there is reward for your work."

nasb@2Chronicles:14:8 @Now when Asa heard these words and the prophecy which Azariah the son of Oded the prophet spoke, he took courage and removed the abominable idols from all the land of Judah and Benjamin and from the cities which he had captured in the hill country of Ephraim. He then restored the altar of the LORD which was in front of the porch of the LORD.

nasb@2Chronicles:14:9 @He gathered all Judah and Benjamin and those from Ephraim, Manasseh and Simeon who resided with them, for many defected to him from Israel when they saw that the LORD his God was with him.

nasb@2Chronicles:14:13 @and whoever would not seek the LORD God of Israel should be put to death, whether small or great, man or woman.

nasb@2Chronicles:14:16 @He also removed Maacah, the mother of King Asa, from the position of queen mother, because she had made a horrid image as an Asherah, and Asa cut down her horrid image, crushed it and burned it at the brook Kidron.

nasb@2Chronicles:15:2 @Then Asa brought out silver and gold from the treasuries of the house of the LORD and the king's house, and sent them to Ben-hadad king of Aram, who lived in Damascus, saying,

nasb@2Chronicles:15:3" @Let there be a treaty between you and me, as between my father and your father. Behold, I have sent you silver and gold; go, break your treaty with Baasha king of Israel so that he will withdraw from me."

nasb@2Chronicles:15:4 @So Ben-hadad listened to King Asa and sent the commanders of his armies against the cities of Israel, and they conquered Ijon, Dan, Abel-maim and all the store cities of Naphtali.

nasb@2Chronicles:15:6 @Then King Asa brought all Judah, and they carried away the stones of Ramah and its timber with which Baasha had been building, and with them he fortified Geba and Mizpah.

nasb@2Chronicles:15:7 @At that time Hanani the seer came to Asa king of Judah and said to him, " Because you have relied on the king of Aram and have not relied on the LORD your God, therefore the army of the king of Aram has escaped out of your hand.

nasb@2Chronicles:15:8" @Were not the Ethiopians and the Lubim an immense army with very many chariots and horsemen? Yet because you relied on the LORD, He delivered them into your hand.

nasb@2Chronicles:15:11 @Now, the acts of Asa from first to last, behold, they are written in the Book of the Kings of Judah and Israel.

nasb@2Chronicles:15:12 @In the thirty-ninth year of his reign Asa became diseased in his feet. His disease was severe, yet even in his disease he did not seek the LORD, but the physicians.

nasb@2Chronicles:16:1 @Jehoshaphat his son then became king in his place, and made his position over Israel firm.

nasb@2Chronicles:16:3 @The LORD was with Jehoshaphat because he followed the example of his father David's earlier days and did not seek the Baals,

nasb@2Chronicles:16:7 @Then in the third year of his reign he sent his officials, Ben-hail, Obadiah, Zechariah, Nethanel and Micaiah, to teach in the cities of Judah;

nasb@2Chronicles:16:17 @and of Benjamin, Eliada a valiant warrior, and with him 200,000 armed with bow and shield;

nasb@2Chronicles:17:3 @Ahab king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat king of Judah, "Will you go with me against Ramoth-gilead?" And he said to him, "I am as you are, and my people as your people, and we will be with you in the battle."

nasb@2Chronicles:17:9 @Now the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat the king of Judah were sitting each on his throne, arrayed in their robes, and they were sitting at the threshing floor at the entrance of the gate of Samaria; and all the prophets were prophesying before them.

nasb@2Chronicles:17:12 @Then the messenger who went to summon Micaiah spoke to him saying, "Behold, the words of the prophets are uniformly favorable to the king. So please let your word be like one of them and speak favorably."

nasb@2Chronicles:17:14 @When he came to the king, the king said to him, "Micaiah, shall we go to Ramoth-gilead to battle, or shall I refrain?" He said, "Go up and succeed, for they will be given into your hand."

nasb@2Chronicles:17:20" @Then a spirit came forward and stood before the LORD and said, 'I will entice him.' And the LORD said to him, 'How?'

nasb@2Chronicles:17:21" @He said, 'I will go and be a deceiving spirit in the mouth of all his prophets.' Then He said, 'You are to entice him and prevail also. Go and do so.'

nasb@2Chronicles:17:22" @Now therefore, behold, the LORD has put a deceiving spirit in the mouth of these your prophets, for the LORD has proclaimed disaster against you."

nasb@2Chronicles:17:24 @Micaiah said, "Behold, you will see on that day when you enter an inner room to hide yourself."

nasb@2Chronicles:17:29 @The king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat, "I will disguise myself and go into battle, but you put on your robes." So the king of Israel disguised himself, and they went into battle.

nasb@2Chronicles:18:4 @So Jehoshaphat lived in Jerusalem and went out again among the people from Beersheba to the hill country of Ephraim and brought them back to the LORD, the God of their fathers.

nasb@2Chronicles:18:7" @Now then let the fear of the LORD be upon you; be very careful what you do, for the LORD our God will have no part in unrighteousness or partiality or the taking of a bribe."

nasb@2Chronicles:18:10" @ Whenever any dispute comes to you from your brethren who live in their cities, between blood and blood, between law and commandment, statutes and ordinances, you shall warn them so that they may not be guilty before the LORD, and wrath may not come on you and your brethren. Thus you shall do and you will not be guilty.

nasb@2Chronicles:18:11" @Behold, Amariah the chief priest will be over you in all that pertains to the LORD, and Zebadiah the son of Ishmael, the ruler of the house of Judah, in all that pertains to the king. Also the Levites shall be officers before you. Act resolutely, and the LORD be with the upright."

nasb@2Chronicles:19:2 @Then some came and reported to Jehoshaphat, saying, "A great multitude is coming against you from beyond the sea, out of Aram and behold, they are in Hazazon-tamar (that is Engedi)."

nasb@2Chronicles:19:5 @Then Jehoshaphat stood in the assembly of Judah and Jerusalem, in the house of the LORD before the new court,

nasb@2Chronicles:19:7" @Did You not, O our God, drive out the inhabitants of this land before Your people Israel and give it to the descendants of Abraham Your friend forever?

nasb@2Chronicles:19:9 @' Should evil come upon us, the sword, or judgment, or pestilence, or famine, we will stand before this house and before You (for Your name is in this house) and cry to You in our distress, and You will hear and deliver us.'

nasb@2Chronicles:19:12" @O our God, will You not judge them? For we are powerless before this great multitude who are coming against us; nor do we know what to do, but our eyes are on You."

nasb@2Chronicles:19:13 @All Judah was standing before the LORD, with their infants, their wives and their children.

nasb@2Chronicles:19:14 @Then in the midst of the assembly the Spirit of the LORD came upon Jahaziel the son of Zechariah, the son of Benaiah, the son of Jeiel, the son of Mattaniah, the Levite of the sons of Asaph;

nasb@2Chronicles:19:18 @Jehoshaphat bowed his head with his face to the ground, and all Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem fell down before the LORD, worshiping the LORD.

nasb@2Chronicles:19:20 @They rose early in the morning and went out to the wilderness of Tekoa; and when they went out, Jehoshaphat stood and said, "Listen to me, O Judah and inhabitants of Jerusalem, put your trust in the LORD your God and you will be established. Put your trust in His prophets and succeed."

nasb@2Chronicles:19:21 @When he had consulted with the people, he appointed those who sang to the LORD and those who praised Him in holy attire, as they went out before the army and said, " Give thanks to the LORD, for His lovingkindness is everlasting."

nasb@2Chronicles:19:22 @When they began singing and praising, the LORD set ambushes against the sons of Ammon, Moab and Mount Seir, who had come against Judah; so they were routed.

nasb@2Chronicles:19:24 @When Judah came to the lookout of the wilderness, they looked toward the multitude, and behold, they were corpses lying on the ground, and no one had escaped.

nasb@2Chronicles:19:25 @When Jehoshaphat and his people came to take their spoil, they found much among them, including goods, garments and valuable things which they took for themselves, more than they could carry. And they were three days taking the spoil because there was so much.

nasb@2Chronicles:19:26 @Then on the fourth day they assembled in the valley of Beracah, for there they blessed the LORD. Therefore they have named that place "The Valley of Beracah" until today.

nasb@2Chronicles:19:31 @Now Jehoshaphat reigned over Judah. He was thirty-five years old when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem twenty-five years. And his mother's name was Azubah the daughter of Shilhi.

nasb@2Chronicles:19:34 @Now the rest of the acts of Jehoshaphat, first to last, behold, they are written in the annals of Jehu the son of Hanani, which is recorded in the Book of the Kings of Israel.

nasb@2Chronicles:19:36 @So he allied himself with him to make ships to go to Tarshish, and they made the ships in Ezion-geber.

nasb@2Chronicles:19:37 @Then Eliezer the son of Dodavahu of Mareshah prophesied against Jehoshaphat saying, "Because you have allied yourself with Ahaziah, the LORD has destroyed your works." So the ships were broken and could not go to Tarshish.

nasb@2Chronicles:20:1 @Then Jehoshaphat slept with his fathers and was buried with his fathers in the city of David, and Jehoram his son became king in his place.

nasb@2Chronicles:20:3 @Their father gave them many gifts of silver, gold and precious things, with fortified cities in Judah, but he gave the kingdom to Jehoram because he was the firstborn.

nasb@2Chronicles:20:5 @Jehoram was thirty-two years old when he became king, and he reigned eight years in Jerusalem.

nasb@2Chronicles:20:7 @Yet the LORD was not willing to destroy the house of David because of the covenant which He had made with David, and since He had promised to give a lamp to him and his sons forever.

nasb@2Chronicles:20:10 @So Edom revolted against Judah to this day. Then Libnah revolted at the same time against his rule, because he had forsaken the LORD God of his fathers.

nasb@2Chronicles:20:12 @Then a letter came to him from Elijah the prophet saying, "Thus says the LORD God of your father David, 'Because you have not walked in the ways of Jehoshaphat your father and the ways of Asa king of Judah,

nasb@2Chronicles:20:19 @Now it came about in the course of time, at the end of two years, that his bowels came out because of his sickness and he died in great pain. And his people made no fire for him like the fire for his fathers.

nasb@2Chronicles:20:20 @He was thirty-two years old when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem eight years; and he departed with no one's regret, and they buried him in the city of David, but not in the tombs of the kings.

nasb@2Chronicles:21:1 @Then the inhabitants of Jerusalem made Ahaziah, his youngest son, king in his place, for the band of men who came with the Arabs to the camp had slain all the older sons. So Ahaziah the son of Jehoram king of Judah began to reign.

nasb@2Chronicles:21:2 @Ahaziah was twenty-two years old when he became king, and he reigned one year in Jerusalem. And his mother's name was Athaliah, the granddaughter of Omri.

nasb@2Chronicles:21:6 @So he returned to be healed in Jezreel of the wounds which they had inflicted on him at Ramah, when he fought against Hazael king of Aram. And Ahaziah, the son of Jehoram king of Judah, went down to see Jehoram the son of Ahab in Jezreel, because he was sick.

nasb@2Chronicles:21:11 @But Jehoshabeath the king's daughter took Joash the son of Ahaziah, and stole him from among the king's sons who were being put to death, and placed him and his nurse in the bedroom. So Jehoshabeath, the daughter of King Jehoram, the wife of Jehoiada the priest (for she was the sister of Ahaziah), hid him from Athaliah so that she would not put him to death.

nasb@2Chronicles:22:1 @Now in the seventh year Jehoiada strengthened himself, and took captains of hundreds- Azariah the son of Jeroham, Ishmael the son of Johanan, Azariah the son of Obed, Maaseiah the son of Adaiah, and Elishaphat the son of Zichri, and they entered into a covenant with him.

nasb@2Chronicles:22:3 @Then all the assembly made a covenant with the king in the house of God. And Jehoiada said to them, "Behold, the king's son shall reign, as the LORD has spoken concerning the sons of David.

nasb@2Chronicles:22:4" @This is the thing which you shall do- one third of you, of the priests and Levites who come in on the sabbath, shall be gatekeepers,

nasb@2Chronicles:22:14 @Jehoiada the priest brought out the captains of hundreds who were appointed over the army and said to them, "Bring her out between the ranks; and whoever follows her, put to death with the sword." For the priest said, "Let her not be put to death in the house of the LORD."

nasb@2Chronicles:22:17 @And all the people went to the house of Baal and tore it down, and they broke in pieces his altars and his images, and killed Mattan the priest of Baal before the altars.

nasb@2Chronicles:23:14 @When they had finished, they brought the rest of the money before the king and Jehoiada; and it was made into utensils for the house of the LORD, utensils for the service and the burnt offering, and pans and utensils of gold and silver.

nasb@2Chronicles:23:22 @Thus Joash the king did not remember the kindness which his father Jehoiada had shown him, but he murdered his son. And as he died he said, "May the LORD see and avenge!"

nasb@2Chronicles:23:24 @Indeed the army of the Arameans came with a small number of men; yet the LORD delivered a very great army into their hands, because they had forsaken the LORD, the God of their fathers. Thus they executed judgment on Joash.

nasb@2Chronicles:24:5 @Moreover, Amaziah assembled Judah and appointed them according to their fathers' households under commanders of thousands and commanders of hundreds throughout Judah and Benjamin; and he took a census of those from twenty years old and upward and found them to be 300,000 choice men, able to go to war and handle spear and shield.

nasb@2Chronicles:27:1 @Ahaz was twenty years old when he became king, and he reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem; and he did not do right in the sight of the LORD as David his father had done.

nasb@2Chronicles:27:3 @Moreover, he burned incense in the valley of Ben-hinnom and burned his sons in fire, according to the abominations of the nations whom the LORD had driven out before the sons of Israel.

nasb@2Chronicles:27:5 @Wherefore, the LORD his God delivered him into the hand of the king of Aram; and they defeated him and carried away from him a great number of captives and brought them to Damascus. And he was also delivered into the hand of the king of Israel, who inflicted him with heavy casualties.

nasb@2Chronicles:27:6 @For Pekah the son of Remaliah slew in Judah 120,000 in one day, all valiant men, because they had forsaken the LORD God of their fathers.

nasb@2Chronicles:27:9 @But a prophet of the LORD was there, whose name was Oded; and he went out to meet the army which came to Samaria and said to them, "Behold, because the LORD, the God of your fathers, was angry with Judah, He has delivered them into your hand, and you have slain them in a rage which has even reached heaven.

nasb@2Chronicles:27:12 @Then some of the heads of the sons of Ephraim--Azariah the son of Johanan, Berechiah the son of Meshillemoth, Jehizkiah the son of Shallum, and Amasa the son of Hadlai--arose against those who were coming from the battle,

nasb@2Chronicles:27:18 @The Philistines also had invaded the cities of the lowland and of the Negev of Judah, and had taken Beth-shemesh, Aijalon, Gederoth, and Soco with its villages, Timnah with its villages, and Gimzo with its villages, and they settled there.

nasb@2Chronicles:27:19 @For the LORD humbled Judah because of Ahaz king of Israel, for he had brought about a lack of restraint in Judah and was very unfaithful to the LORD.

nasb@2Chronicles:27:22 @Now in the time of his distress this same King Ahaz became yet more unfaithful to the LORD.

nasb@2Chronicles:27:23 @For he sacrificed to the gods of Damascus which had defeated him, and said, " Because the gods of the kings of Aram helped them, I will sacrifice to them that they may help me." But they became the downfall of him and all Israel.

nasb@2Chronicles:28:1 @Hezekiah became king when he was twenty-five years old; and he reigned twenty-nine years in Jerusalem. And his mother's name was Abijah, the daughter of Zechariah.

nasb@2Chronicles:28:6" @For our fathers have been unfaithful and have done evil in the sight of the LORD our God, and have forsaken Him and turned their faces away from the dwelling place of the LORD, and have turned their backs.

nasb@2Chronicles:28:9" @For behold, our fathers have fallen by the sword, and our sons and our daughters and our wives are in captivity for this.

nasb@2Chronicles:28:11" @My sons, do not be negligent now, for the LORD has chosen you to stand before Him, to minister to Him, and to be His ministers and burn incense."

nasb@2Chronicles:28:17 @Now they began the consecration on the first day of the first month, and on the eighth day of the month they entered the porch of the LORD. Then they consecrated the house of the LORD in eight days, and finished on the sixteenth day of the first month.

nasb@2Chronicles:28:19" @Moreover, all the utensils which King Ahaz had discarded during his reign in his unfaithfulness, we have prepared and consecrated; and behold, they are before the altar of the LORD."

nasb@2Chronicles:28:23 @Then they brought the male goats of the sin offering before the king and the assembly, and they laid their hands on them.

nasb@2Chronicles:28:27 @Then Hezekiah gave the order to offer the burnt offering on the altar. When the burnt offering began, the song to the LORD also began with the trumpets, accompanied by the instruments of David, king of Israel.

nasb@2Chronicles:28:32 @The number of the burnt offerings which the assembly brought was 70 bulls, 100 rams, and 200 lambs; all these were for a burnt offering to the LORD.

nasb@2Chronicles:28:36 @Then Hezekiah and all the people rejoiced over what God had prepared for the people, because the thing came about suddenly.

nasb@2Chronicles:29:3 @since they could not celebrate it at that time, because the priests had not consecrated themselves in sufficient numbers, nor had the people been gathered to Jerusalem.

nasb@2Chronicles:29:5 @So they established a decree to circulate a proclamation throughout all Israel from Beersheba even to Dan, that they should come to celebrate the Passover to the LORD God of Israel at Jerusalem. For they had not celebrated it in great numbers as it was prescribed.

nasb@2Chronicles:29:7" @ Do not be like your fathers and your brothers, who were unfaithful to the LORD God of their fathers, so that He made them a horror, as you see.

nasb@2Chronicles:29:18 @For a multitude of the people, even many from Ephraim and Manasseh, Issachar and Zebulun, had not purified themselves, yet they ate the Passover otherwise than prescribed. For Hezekiah prayed for them, saying, "May the good LORD pardon

nasb@2Chronicles:29:24 @For Hezekiah king of Judah had contributed to the assembly 1,000 bulls and 7,000 sheep, and the princes had contributed to the assembly 1,000 bulls and 10,000 sheep; and a large number of priests consecrated themselves.

nasb@2Chronicles:29:26 @So there was great joy in Jerusalem, because there was nothing like this in Jerusalem since the days of Solomon the son of David, king of Israel.

nasb@2Chronicles:30:1 @Now when all this was finished, all Israel who were present went out to the cities of Judah, broke the pillars in pieces, cut down the Asherim and pulled down the high places and the altars throughout all Judah and Benjamin, as well as in Ephraim and Manasseh, until they had destroyed them all. Then all the sons of Israel returned to their cities, each to his possession.

nasb@2Chronicles:30:7 @In the third month they began to make the heaps, and finished them by the seventh month.

nasb@2Chronicles:30:10 @Azariah the chief priest of the house of Zadok said to him, " Since the contributions began to be brought into the house of the LORD, we have had enough to eat with plenty left over, for the LORD has blessed His people, and this great quantity is left over."

nasb@2Chronicles:30:20 @Thus Hezekiah did throughout all Judah; and he did what was good, right and true before the LORD his God.

nasb@2Chronicles:30:21 @Every work which he began in the service of the house of God in law and in commandment, seeking his God, he did with all his heart and prospered.

nasb@2Chronicles:31:1 @After these acts of faithfulness Sennacherib king of Assyria came and invaded Judah and besieged the fortified cities, and thought to break into them for himself.

nasb@2Chronicles:31:5 @And he took courage and rebuilt all the wall that had been broken down and erected towers on it, and built another outside wall and strengthened the Millo in the city of David, and made weapons and shields in great number.

nasb@2Chronicles:31:7" @ Be strong and courageous, do not fear or be dismayed because of the king of Assyria nor because of all the horde that is with him; for the one with us is greater than the one with him.

nasb@2Chronicles:31:9 @After this Sennacherib king of Assyria sent his servants to Jerusalem while he was besieging Lachish with all his forces with him, against Hezekiah king of Judah and against all Judah who were at Jerusalem, saying,

nasb@2Chronicles:31:15 @'Now therefore, do not let Hezekiah deceive you or mislead you like this, and do not believe him, for no god of any nation or kingdom was able to deliver his people from my hand or from the hand of my fathers. How much less will your God deliver you from my hand?'"

nasb@2Chronicles:31:24 @In those days Hezekiah became mortally ill; and he prayed to the LORD, and the LORD spoke to him and gave him a sign.

nasb@2Chronicles:31:25 @But Hezekiah gave no return for the benefit he received, because his heart was proud; therefore wrath came on him and on Judah and Jerusalem.

nasb@2Chronicles:31:32 @Now the rest of the acts of Hezekiah and his deeds of devotion, behold, they are written in the vision of Isaiah the prophet, the son of Amoz, in the Book of the Kings of Judah and Israel.

nasb@2Chronicles:31:33 @So Hezekiah slept with his fathers, and they buried him in the upper section of the tombs of the sons of David; and all Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem honored him at his death. And his son Manasseh became king in his place.

nasb@2Chronicles:32:1 @Manasseh was twelve years old when he became king, and he reigned fifty-five years in Jerusalem.

nasb@2Chronicles:32:9 @Thus Manasseh misled Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem to do more evil than the nations whom the LORD destroyed before the sons of Israel.

nasb@2Chronicles:32:12 @When he was in distress, he entreated the LORD his God and humbled himself greatly before the God of his fathers.

nasb@2Chronicles:33:3 @For in the eighth year of his reign while he was still a youth, he began to seek the God of his father David; and in the twelfth year he began to purge Judah and Jerusalem of the high places, the Asherim, the carved images and the molten images.

nasb@2Chronicles:33:7 @he also tore down the altars and beat the Asherim and the carved images into powder, and chopped down all the incense altars throughout the land of Israel. Then he returned to Jerusalem.

nasb@2Chronicles:33:9 @They came to Hilkiah the high priest and delivered the money that was brought into the house of God, which the Levites, the doorkeepers, had collected from Manasseh and Ephraim, and from all the remnant of Israel, and from all Judah and Benjamin and the inhabitants of Jerusalem.

nasb@2Chronicles:33:11 @They in turn gave it to the carpenters and to the builders to buy quarried stone and timber for couplings and to make beams for the houses which the kings of Judah had let go to ruin.

nasb@2Chronicles:33:13 @They were also over the burden bearers, and supervised all the workmen from job to job; and some of the Levites were scribes and officials and gatekeepers.

nasb@2Chronicles:33:14 @When they were bringing out the money which had been brought into the house of the LORD, Hilkiah the priest found the book of the law of the LORD given by Moses.

nasb@2Chronicles:33:15 @Hilkiah responded and said to Shaphan the scribe, "I have found the book of the law in the house of the LORD." And Hilkiah gave the book to Shaphan.

nasb@2Chronicles:33:18 @Moreover, Shaphan the scribe told the king saying, "Hilkiah the priest gave me a book." And Shaphan read from it in the presence of the king.

nasb@2Chronicles:33:20 @Then the king commanded Hilkiah, Ahikam the son of Shaphan, Abdon the son of Micah, Shaphan the scribe, and Asaiah the king's servant, saying,

nasb@2Chronicles:33:24 @thus says the LORD, "Behold, I am bringing evil on this place and on its inhabitants, even all the curses written in the book which they have read in the presence of the king of Judah.

nasb@2Chronicles:33:25" @ Because they have forsaken Me and have burned incense to other gods, that they might provoke Me to anger with all the works of their hands; therefore My wrath will be poured out on this place and it shall not be quenched."'

nasb@2Chronicles:33:32 @Moreover, he made all who were present in Jerusalem and Benjamin to stand with him. So the inhabitants of Jerusalem did according to the covenant of God, the God of their fathers.

nasb@2Chronicles:33:33 @Josiah removed all the abominations from all the lands belonging to the sons of Israel, and made all who were present in Israel to serve the LORD their God. Throughout his lifetime they did not turn from following the LORD God of their fathers.

nasb@2Chronicles:34:14 @Afterwards they prepared for themselves and for the priests, because the priests, the sons of Aaron, were offering the burnt offerings and the fat until night; therefore the Levites prepared for themselves and for the priests, the sons of Aaron.

nasb@2Chronicles:34:15 @The singers, the sons of Asaph, were also at their stations according to the command of David, Asaph, Heman, and Jeduthun the king's seer; and the gatekeepers at each gate did not have to depart from their service, because the Levites their brethren prepared for them.

nasb@Ezra:5:9" @Whatever is needed, both young bulls, rams, and lambs for a burnt offering to the God of heaven, and wheat, salt, wine and anointing oil, as the priests in Jerusalem request, it is to be given to them daily without fail,

nasb@Ezra:5:11" @And I issued a decree that any man who violates this edict, a timber shall be drawn from his house and he shall be impaled on it and his house shall be made a refuse heap on account of this.

nasb@Ezra:5:12" @May the God who has caused His name to dwell there overthrow any king or people who attempts to change it, so as to destroy this house of God in Jerusalem. I, Darius, have issued this decree, let it be carried out with all diligence!"

nasb@Ezra:5:13 @Then Tattenai, the governor of the province beyond the River, Shethar-bozenai and their colleagues carried out the decree with all diligence, just as King Darius had sent.

nasb@Ezra:5:17 @They offered for the dedication of this temple of God 100 bulls, 200 rams, 400 lambs, and as a sin offering for all Israel 12 male goats, corresponding to the number of the tribes of Israel.

nasb@Ezra:6:6 @This Ezra went up from Babylon, and he was a scribe skilled in the law of Moses, which the LORD God of Israel had given; and the king granted him all he requested because the hand of the LORD his God was upon him.

nasb@Ezra:6:9 @For on the first of the first month he began to go up from Babylon; and on the first of the fifth month he came to Jerusalem, because the good hand of his God was upon him.

nasb@Ezra:6:11 @Now this is the copy of the decree which King Artaxerxes gave to Ezra the priest, the scribe, learned in the words of the commandments of the LORD and His statutes to Israel-

nasb@Ezra:6:12" @Artaxerxes, king of kings, to Ezra the priest, the scribe of the law of the God of heaven, perfect peace. And now

nasb@Ezra:6:19" @Also the utensils which are given to you for the service of the house of your God, deliver in full before the God of Jerusalem.

nasb@Ezra:6:21" @I, even I, King Artaxerxes, issue a decree to all the treasurers who are in the provinces beyond the River, that whatever Ezra the priest, the scribe of the law of the God of heaven, may require of you, it shall be done diligently,

nasb@Ezra:6:23" @Whatever is commanded by the God of heaven, let it be done with zeal for the house of the God of heaven, so that there will not be wrath against the kingdom of the king and his sons.

nasb@Ezra:6:25" @You, Ezra, according to the wisdom of your God which is in your hand, appoint magistrates and judges that they may judge all the people who are in the province beyond the River, even all those who know the laws of your God; and you may teach anyone who is ignorant of them.

nasb@Ezra:6:26" @ Whoever will not observe the law of your God and the law of the king, let judgment be executed upon him strictly, whether for death or for banishment or for confiscation of goods or for imprisonment."

nasb@Ezra:6:27 @Blessed be the LORD, the God of our fathers, who has put such a thing as this in the king's heart, to adorn the house of the LORD which is in Jerusalem,

nasb@Ezra:6:28 @and has extended lovingkindness to me before the king and his counselors and before all the king's mighty princes. Thus I was strengthened according to the hand of the LORD my God upon me, and I gathered leading men from Israel to go up with me.

nasb@Ezra:7:6 @and of the sons of Adin, Ebed the son of Jonathan and 50 males with him;

nasb@Ezra:7:11 @and of the sons of Bebai, Zechariah the son of Bebai and 28 males with him;

nasb@Ezra:7:13 @and of the sons of Adonikam, the last ones, these being their names, Eliphelet, Jeuel and Shemaiah, and 60 males with them;

nasb@Ezra:7:21 @Then I proclaimed a fast there at the river of Ahava, that we might humble ourselves before our God to seek from Him a safe journey for us, our little ones, and all our possessions.

nasb@Ezra:7:22 @For I was ashamed to request from the king troops and horsemen to protect us from the enemy on the way, because we had said to the king, " The hand of our God is favorably disposed to all those who seek Him, but His power and His anger are against all those who forsake Him."

nasb@Ezra:7:29" @Watch and keep them until you weigh them before the leading priests, the Levites and the heads of the fathers' households of Israel at Jerusalem, in the chambers of the house of the LORD."

nasb@Ezra:7:34 @Everything was numbered and weighed, and all the weight was recorded at that time.

nasb@Ezra:7:36 @Then they delivered the king's edicts to the king's satraps and to the governors in the provinces beyond the River, and they supported the people and the house of God.

nasb@Ezra:7:9 @Now when these things had been completed, the princes approached 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, those of the Canaanites, the Hittites, the Perizzites, the Jebusites, the Ammonites, the Moabites, the Egyptians and the Amorites.

nasb@Ezra:7:2" @For they have taken some of their daughters as wives for themselves and for their sons, so that the holy race has intermingled with the peoples of the lands; indeed, the hands of the princes and the rulers have been foremost in this unfaithfulness."

nasb@Ezra:7:3 @When I heard about this matter, I tore my garment and my robe, and pulled some of the hair from my head and my beard, and sat down appalled.

nasb@Ezra:7:5 @But at the evening offering I arose from my humiliation, even with my garment and my robe torn, and I fell on my knees and stretched out my hands to the LORD my God;

nasb@Ezra:7:7" @ Since the days of our fathers to this day we have been in great guilt, and on account of our iniquities we, our kings and our priests have been given into the hand of the kings of the lands, to the sword, to captivity and to plunder and to open shame, as it is this day.

nasb@Ezra:7:8" @But now for a brief moment grace has been shown from the LORD our God, to leave us an escaped remnant and to give us a peg in His holy place, that our God may enlighten our eyes and grant us a little reviving in our bondage.

nasb@Ezra:7:12 @'So now do not give your daughters to their sons nor take their daughters to your sons, and never seek their peace or their prosperity, that you may be strong and eat the good things of the land and leave it as an inheritance to your sons forever.'

nasb@Ezra:7:14 @shall we again break Your commandments and intermarry with the peoples who commit these abominations? Would You not be angry with us to the point of destruction, until there is no remnant nor any who escape?

nasb@Ezra:7:15" @O LORD God of Israel, You are righteous, for we have been left an escaped remnant, as it is this day; behold, we are before You in our guilt, for no one can stand before You because of this."

nasb@Ezra:8:1 @Now while Ezra was praying and making confession, weeping and prostrating himself before the house of God, a very large assembly, men, women and children, gathered to him from Israel; for the people wept bitterly.

nasb@Ezra:8:2 @Shecaniah the son of Jehiel, one of the sons of Elam, said to Ezra, " We have been unfaithful to our God and have married foreign women from the peoples of the land; yet now there is hope for Israel in spite of this.

nasb@Ezra:8:3" @So now let us make a covenant with our God to put away all the wives and their children, according to the counsel of my lord and of those who tremble at the commandment of our God; and let it be done according to the law.

nasb@Ezra:8:4" @Arise! For this matter is your responsibility, but we will be with you; be courageous and act."

nasb@Ezra:8:6 @Then Ezra rose from before the house of God and went into the chamber of Jehohanan the son of Eliashib. Although he went there, he did not eat bread nor drink water, for he was mourning over the unfaithfulness of the exiles.

nasb@Ezra:8:8 @and that whoever would not come within three days, according to the counsel of the leaders and the elders, all his possessions should be forfeited and he himself excluded from the assembly of the exiles.

nasb@Ezra:8:9 @So all the men of Judah and Benjamin assembled at Jerusalem within the three days. It was the ninth month on the twentieth of the month, and all the people sat in the open square before the house of God, trembling because of this matter and the heavy rain.

nasb@Ezra:8:10 @Then Ezra the priest stood up and said to them, "You have been unfaithful and have married foreign wives adding to the guilt of Israel.

nasb@Ezra:8:13" @But there are many people; it is the rainy season and we are not able to stand in the open. Nor can the task be done in one or two days, for we have transgressed greatly in this matter.

nasb@Ezra:8:15 @Only Jonathan the son of Asahel and Jahzeiah the son of Tikvah opposed this, with Meshullam and Shabbethai the Levite supporting them.

nasb@Ezra:8:19 @They pledged to put away their wives, and being guilty, they offered a ram of the flock for their offense.

nasb@Ezra:8:25 @Of Israel, of the sons of Parosh there were Ramiah, Izziah, Malchijah, Mijamin, Eleazar, Malchijah and Benaiah;

nasb@Ezra:8:28 @and of the sons of Bebai- Jehohanan, Hananiah, Zabbai and Athlai;

nasb@Ezra:8:30 @and of the sons of Pahath-moab- Adna, Chelal, Benaiah, Maaseiah, Mattaniah, Bezalel, Binnui and Manasseh;

nasb@Ezra:8:32 @Benjamin, Malluch and Shemariah;

nasb@Ezra:8:35 @Benaiah, Bedeiah, Cheluhi,

nasb@Ezra:8:43 @Of the sons of Nebo there were Jeiel, Mattithiah, Zabad, Zebina, Jaddai, Joel and Benaiah.

nasb@Nehemiah:1:4 @When I heard these words, I sat down and wept and mourned for days; and I was fasting and praying before the God of heaven.

nasb@Nehemiah:1:5 @I said, "I beseech You, O LORD God of heaven, the great and awesome God, who preserves the covenant and lovingkindness for those who love Him and keep His commandments,

nasb@Nehemiah:1:6 @let Your ear now be attentive and Your eyes open to hear the prayer of Your servant which I am praying before You now, day and night, on behalf of the sons of Israel Your servants, confessing the sins of the sons of Israel which we have sinned against You; I and my father's house have sinned.

nasb@Nehemiah:1:8" @Remember the word which You commanded Your servant Moses, saying, ' If you are unfaithful I will scatter you among the peoples;

nasb@Nehemiah:1:9 @but if you return to Me and keep My commandments and do them, though those of you who have been scattered were in the most remote part of the heavens, I will gather them from there and will bring them to the place where I have chosen to cause My name to dwell.'

nasb@Nehemiah:1:11" @O Lord, I beseech You, may Your ear be attentive to the prayer of Your servant and the prayer of Your servants who delight to revere Your name, and make Your servant successful today and grant him compassion before this man." Now I was the cupbearer to the king.

nasb@Nehemiah:2:1 @And it came about in the month Nisan, in the twentieth year of King Artaxerxes, that wine was before him, and I took up the wine and gave it to the king. Now I had not been sad in his presence.

nasb@Nehemiah:2:3 @I said to the king, " Let the king live forever. Why should my face not be sad when the city, the place of my fathers' tombs, lies desolate and its gates have been consumed by fire?"

nasb@Nehemiah:2:5 @I said to the king, "If it please the king, and if your servant has found favor before you, send me to Judah, to the city of my fathers' tombs, that I may rebuild it."

nasb@Nehemiah:2:6 @Then the king said to me, the queen sitting beside him, "How long will your journey be, and when will you return?" So it pleased the king to send me, and I gave him a definite time.

nasb@Nehemiah:2:7 @And I said to the king, "If it please the king, let letters be given me for the governors of the provinces beyond the River, that they may allow me to pass through until I come to Judah,

nasb@Nehemiah:2:8 @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 fortress which is by the temple, for the wall of the city and for the house to which I will go." And the king granted them to me because the good hand of my God was on me.

nasb@Nehemiah:2:9 @Then I came to the governors of the provinces beyond the River and gave them the king's letters. Now the king had sent with me officers of the army and horsemen.

nasb@Nehemiah:2:17 @Then I said to them, "You see the bad situation we are in, that Jerusalem is desolate and its gates burned by fire. Come, let us rebuild the wall of Jerusalem so that we will no longer be a reproach."

nasb@Nehemiah:2:18 @I told them how the hand of my God had been favorable to me and also about the king's words which he had spoken to me. Then they said, "Let us arise and build." So they put their hands to the good work.

nasb@Nehemiah:2:19 @But when Sanballat the Horonite and Tobiah the Ammonite official, and Geshem the Arab heard it, they mocked us and despised us and said, "What is this thing you are doing? Are you rebelling against the king?"

nasb@Nehemiah:3:3 @Now the sons of Hassenaah built the Fish Gate; they laid its beams and hung its doors with its bolts and bars.

nasb@Nehemiah:3:4 @Next to them Meremoth the son of Uriah the son of Hakkoz made repairs. And next to him Meshullam the son of Berechiah the son of Meshezabel made repairs. And next to him Zadok the son of Baana also made repairs.

nasb@Nehemiah:3:6 @Joiada the son of Paseah and Meshullam the son of Besodeiah repaired the Old Gate; they laid its beams and hung its doors with its bolts and its bars.

nasb@Nehemiah:3:7 @Next to them Melatiah the Gibeonite and Jadon the Meronothite, the men of Gibeon and of Mizpah, also made repairs for the official seat of the governor of the province beyond the River.

nasb@Nehemiah:3:14 @Malchijah the son of Rechab, the official of the district of Beth-haccherem repaired the Refuse Gate. He built it and hung its doors with its bolts and its bars.

nasb@Nehemiah:3:16 @After him Nehemiah the son of Azbuk, official of half the district of Beth-zur, made repairs as far as a point opposite the tombs of David, and as far as the artificial pool and the house of the mighty men.

nasb@Nehemiah:3:23 @After them Benjamin and Hasshub carried out repairs in front of their house. After them Azariah the son of Maaseiah, son of Ananiah, carried out repairs beside his house.

nasb@Nehemiah:3:30 @After him Hananiah the son of Shelemiah, and Hanun the sixth son of Zalaph, repaired another section. After him Meshullam the son of Berechiah carried out repairs in front of his own quarters.

nasb@Nehemiah:3:32 @Between the upper room of the corner and the Sheep Gate the goldsmiths and the merchants carried out repairs.

nasb@Nehemiah:4:1 @Now it came about that when Sanballat heard that we were rebuilding the wall, he became furious and very angry and mocked the Jews.

nasb@Nehemiah:4:5 @Do not forgive their iniquity and let not their sin be blotted out before You, for they have demoralized the builders.

nasb@Nehemiah:4:7 @Now when Sanballat, Tobiah, the Arabs, the Ammonites and the Ashdodites heard that the repair of the walls of Jerusalem went on, and that the breaches began to be closed, they were very angry.

nasb@Nehemiah:4:9 @But we prayed to our God, and because of them we set up a guard against them day and night.

nasb@Nehemiah:4:10 @Thus in Judah it was said, "The strength of the burden bearers is failing, Yet there is much rubbish; And we ourselves are unable To rebuild the wall."

nasb@Nehemiah:4:13 @then I stationed men in the lowest parts of the space behind the wall, the exposed places, and I stationed the people in families with their swords, spears and bows.

nasb@Nehemiah:4:14 @When I saw their fear, I rose and spoke to the nobles, the officials and the rest of the people- " Do not be afraid of them; remember the Lord who is great and awesome, and fight for your brothers, your sons, your daughters, your wives and your houses."

nasb@Nehemiah:4:16 @From that day on, half of my servants carried on the work while half of them held the spears, the shields, the bows and the breastplates; and the captains were behind the whole house of Judah.

nasb@Nehemiah:4:22 @At that time I also said to the people, "Let each man with his servant spend the night within Jerusalem so that they may be a guard for us by night and a laborer by day."

nasb@Nehemiah:5:3 @There were others who said, "We are mortgaging our fields, our vineyards and our houses that we might get grain because of the famine."

nasb@Nehemiah:5:5" @Now our flesh is like the flesh of our brothers, our children like their children. Yet behold, we are forcing our sons and our daughters to be slaves, and some of our daughters are forced into bondage already, and we are helpless because our fields and vineyards belong to others."

nasb@Nehemiah:5:8 @I said to them, "We according to our ability have redeemed our Jewish brothers who were sold to the nations; now would you even sell your brothers that they may be sold to us?" Then they were silent and could not find a word to say.

nasb@Nehemiah:5:9 @Again I said, "The thing which you are doing is not good; should you not walk in the fear of our God because of the reproach of the nations, our enemies?

nasb@Nehemiah:5:13 @I also shook out the front of my garment and said, "Thus may God shake out every man from his house and from his possessions who does not fulfill this promise; even thus may he be shaken out and emptied." And all the assembly said, "Amen!" And they praised the LORD. Then the people did according to this promise.

nasb@Nehemiah:5:14 @Moreover, from the day that I was appointed to be their governor in the land of Judah, from the twentieth year to the thirty-second year of King Artaxerxes, for twelve years, neither I nor my kinsmen have eaten the governor's food allowance.

nasb@Nehemiah:5:15 @But the former governors who were before me laid burdens on the people and took from them bread and wine besides forty shekels of silver; even their servants domineered the people. But I did not do so because of the fear of God.

nasb@Nehemiah:5:17 @Moreover, there were at my table one hundred and fifty Jews and officials, besides those who came to us from the nations that were around us.

nasb@Nehemiah:5:18 @Now that which was prepared for each day was one ox and six choice sheep, also birds were prepared for me; and once in ten days all sorts of wine were furnished in abundance. Yet for all this I did not demand the governor's food allowance, because the servitude was heavy on this people.

nasb@Nehemiah:5:19 @Remember me, O my God, for good, according to all that I have done for this people.

nasb@Nehemiah:6:6 @In it was written, "It is reported among the nations, and Gashmu says, that you and the Jews are planning to rebel; therefore you are rebuilding the wall. And you are to be their king, according to these reports.

nasb@Nehemiah:6:7" @You have also appointed prophets to proclaim in Jerusalem concerning you, 'A king is in Judah!' And now it will be reported to the king according to these reports. So come now, let us take counsel together."

nasb@Nehemiah:6:8 @Then I sent a message to him saying, "Such things as you are saying have not been done, but you are inventing them in your own mind."

nasb@Nehemiah:6:9 @For all of them were trying to frighten us, thinking, "They will become discouraged with the work and it will not be done." But now, O God, strengthen my hands.

nasb@Nehemiah:6:10 @When I entered the house of Shemaiah the son of Delaiah, son of Mehetabel, who was confined at home, he said, "Let us meet together in the house of God, within the temple, and let us close the doors of the temple, for they are coming to kill you, and they are coming to kill you at night."

nasb@Nehemiah:6:12 @Then I perceived that surely God had not sent him, but he uttered his prophecy against me because Tobiah and Sanballat had hired him.

nasb@Nehemiah:6:13 @He was hired for this reason, that I might become frightened and act accordingly and sin, so that they might have an evil report in order that they could reproach me.

nasb@Nehemiah:6:14 @Remember, O my God, Tobiah and Sanballat according to these works of theirs, and also Noadiah the prophetess and the rest of the prophets who were trying to frighten me.

nasb@Nehemiah:6:16 @When all our enemies heard of it, and all the nations surrounding us saw it, they lost their confidence; for they recognized that this work had been accomplished with the help of our God.

nasb@Nehemiah:6:18 @For many in Judah were bound by oath to him because he was the son-in-law of Shecaniah the son of Arah, and his son Jehohanan had married the daughter of Meshullam the son of Berechiah.

nasb@Nehemiah:7:3 @Then I said to them, "Do not let the gates of Jerusalem be opened until the sun is hot, and while they are standing guard, let them shut and bolt the doors. Also appoint guards from the inhabitants of Jerusalem, each at his post, and each in front of his own house."

nasb@Nehemiah:7:5 @Then my God put it into my heart to assemble the nobles, the officials and the people to be enrolled by genealogies. Then I found the book of the genealogy of those who came up first in which I found the following record-

nasb@Nehemiah:7:67 @besides their male and their female servants, of whom there were 7,337; and they had 245 male and female singers.

nasb@Nehemiah:8:1 @And all the people gathered as one man at the square which was in front of the Water Gate, and they asked Ezra the scribe to bring the book of the law of Moses which the LORD had given to Israel.

nasb@Nehemiah:8:2 @Then Ezra the priest brought the law before the assembly of men, women and all who could listen with understanding, on the first day of the seventh month.

nasb@Nehemiah:8:3 @He read from it before the square which was in front of the Water Gate from early morning until midday, in the presence of men and women, those who could understand; and all the people were attentive to the book of the law.

nasb@Nehemiah:8:4 @Ezra the scribe stood at a wooden podium which they had made for the purpose. And beside him stood Mattithiah, Shema, Anaiah, Uriah, Hilkiah, and Maaseiah on his right hand; and Pedaiah, Mishael, Malchijah, Hashum, Hashbaddanah, Zechariah and Meshullam on his left hand.

nasb@Nehemiah:8:7 @Also Jeshua, Bani, Sherebiah, Jamin, Akkub, Shabbethai, Hodiah, Maaseiah, Kelita, Azariah, Jozabad, Hanan, Pelaiah, the Levites, explained the law to the people while the people remained in their place.

nasb@Nehemiah:8:9 @Then Nehemiah, who was the governor, and Ezra the priest and scribe, and the Levites who taught the people said to all the people, " This day is holy to the LORD your God; do not mourn or weep." For all the people were weeping when they heard the words of the law.

nasb@Nehemiah:8:10 @Then he said to them, "Go, eat of the fat, drink of the sweet, and send portions to him who has nothing prepared; for this day is holy to our Lord. Do not be grieved, for the joy of the LORD is your strength."

nasb@Nehemiah:8:12 @All the people went away to eat, to drink, to send portions and to celebrate a great festival, because they understood the words which had been made known to them.

nasb@Nehemiah:8:13 @Then on the second day the heads of fathers' households of all the people, the priests and the Levites were gathered to Ezra the scribe that they might gain insight into the words of the law.

nasb@Nehemiah:9:5 @Then the Levites, Jeshua, Kadmiel, Bani, Hashabneiah, Sherebiah, Hodiah, Shebaniah and Pethahiah, said, "Arise, bless the LORD your God forever and ever! O may Your glorious name be blessed And exalted above all blessing and praise!

nasb@Nehemiah:9:11" @ You divided the sea before them, So they passed through the midst of the sea on dry ground; And their pursuers You hurled into the depths, Like a stone into raging waters.

nasb@Nehemiah:9:24" @ So their sons entered and possessed the land. And You subdued before them the inhabitants of the land, the Canaanites, And You gave them into their hand, with their kings and the peoples of the land, To do with them as they desired.

nasb@Nehemiah:11:7 @Now these are the sons 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 Jeshaiah;

nasb@Nehemiah:11:16 @and Shabbethai and Jozabad, from the leaders of the Levites, who were in charge of the outside work of the house of God;

nasb@Nehemiah:11:17 @and Mattaniah the son of Mica, the son of Zabdi, the son of Asaph, who was the leader in beginning the thanksgiving at prayer, and Bakbukiah, the second among his brethren; and Abda the son of Shammua, the son of Galal, the son of Jeduthun.

nasb@Nehemiah:11:24 @Pethahiah the son of Meshezabel, of the sons of Zerah the son of Judah, was the king's representative in all matters concerning the people.

nasb@Nehemiah:11:26 @and in Jeshua, in Moladah and Beth-pelet,

nasb@Nehemiah:11:27 @and in Hazar-shual, in Beersheba and its towns,

nasb@Nehemiah:11:30 @Zanoah, Adullam, and their villages, Lachish and its fields, Azekah and its towns. So they encamped from Beersheba as far as the valley of Hinnom.

nasb@Nehemiah:11:31 @The sons of Benjamin also lived from Geba onward, at Michmash and Aija, at Bethel and its towns,

nasb@Nehemiah:11:36 @From the Levites, some divisions in Judah belonged to Benjamin.

nasb@Nehemiah:12:1 @Now these are the priests and the Levites who came up with Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, and Jeshua- Seraiah, Jeremiah, Ezra,

nasb@Nehemiah:12:10 @Jeshua became the father of Joiakim, and Joiakim became the father of Eliashib, and Eliashib became the father of Joiada,

nasb@Nehemiah:12:11 @and Joiada became the father of Jonathan, and Jonathan became the father of Jaddua.

nasb@Nehemiah:12:20 @of Sallai, Kallai; of Amok, Eber;

nasb@Nehemiah:12:24 @The heads of the Levites were Hashabiah, Sherebiah and Jeshua the son of Kadmiel, with their brothers opposite them, to praise and give thanks, as prescribed by David the man of God, division corresponding to division.

nasb@Nehemiah:12:26 @These served 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 and scribe.

nasb@Nehemiah:12:29 @from Beth-gilgal and from their fields in Geba and Azmaveth, for the singers had built themselves villages around Jerusalem.

nasb@Nehemiah:12:34 @Judah, Benjamin, Shemaiah, Jeremiah,

nasb@Nehemiah:12:36 @and his kinsmen, Shemaiah, Azarel, Milalai, Gilalai, Maai, Nethanel, Judah and Hanani, with the musical instruments of David the man of God. And Ezra the scribe went before them.

nasb@Nehemiah:12:43 @and on that day they offered great sacrifices and rejoiced because God had given them great joy, even the women and children rejoiced, so that the joy of Jerusalem was heard from afar.

nasb@Nehemiah:12:44 @On that day men were also appointed over the chambers for the stores, the contributions, the first fruits and the tithes, to gather into them from the fields of the cities the portions required by the law for the priests and Levites; for Judah rejoiced over the priests and Levites who served.

nasb@Nehemiah:12:47 @So all Israel in the days of Zerubbabel and Nehemiah gave the portions due the singers and the gatekeepers as each day required, and set apart the consecrated portion for the Levites, and the Levites set apart the consecrated portion for the sons of Aaron.

nasb@Nehemiah:13:2 @because they did not meet the sons of Israel with bread and water, but hired Balaam against them to curse them. However, our God turned the curse into a blessing.

nasb@Nehemiah:13:4 @Now prior to this, Eliashib the priest, who was appointed over the chambers of the house of our God, being related to Tobiah,

nasb@Nehemiah:13:5 @had prepared a large room for him, where formerly they put the grain offerings, the frankincense, the utensils and the tithes of grain, wine and oil prescribed for the Levites, the singers and the gatekeepers, and the contributions for the priests.

nasb@Nehemiah:13:10 @I also discovered that the portions of the Levites had not been given them, so that the Levites and the singers who performed the service had gone away, each to his own field.

nasb@Nehemiah:13:13 @In charge of the storehouses I appointed Shelemiah the priest, Zadok the scribe, and Pedaiah of the Levites, and in addition to them was Hanan the son of Zaccur, the son of Mattaniah; for they were considered reliable, and it was their task to distribute to their kinsmen.

nasb@Nehemiah:13:14 @Remember me for this, O my God, and do not blot out my loyal deeds which I have performed for the house of my God and its services.

nasb@Nehemiah:13:19 @It came about that just as it grew dark at the gates of Jerusalem before the sabbath, I commanded that the doors should be shut and that they should not open them until after the sabbath. Then I stationed some of my servants at the gates so that no load would enter on the sabbath day.

nasb@Nehemiah:13:22 @And I commanded the Levites that they should purify themselves and come as gatekeepers to sanctify the sabbath day. For this also remember me, O my God, and have compassion on me according to the greatness of Your lovingkindness.

nasb@Nehemiah:13:29 @Remember them, O my God, because they have defiled the priesthood and the covenant of the priesthood and the Levites.

nasb@Nehemiah:13:31 @and I arranged for the supply of wood at appointed times and for the first fruits. Remember me, O my God, for good.

nasb@Esther:1:3 @in the third year of his reign he gave a banquet for all his princes and attendants, the army officers of Persia and Media, the nobles and the princes of his provinces being in his presence.

nasb@Esther:1:9 @Queen Vashti also gave a banquet for the women in the palace which belonged to King Ahasuerus.

nasb@Esther:1:11 @to bring Queen Vashti before the king with her royal crown in order to display her beauty to the people and the princes, for she was beautiful.

nasb@Esther:1:12 @But Queen Vashti refused to come at the king's command delivered by the eunuchs. Then the king became very angry and his wrath burned within him.

nasb@Esther:1:13 @Then the king said to the wise men who understood the times--for it was the custom of the king so to speak before all who knew law and justice

nasb@Esther:1:15" @According to law, what is to be done with Queen Vashti, because she did not obey the command of King Ahasuerus delivered by the eunuchs?"

nasb@Esther:1:17" @For the queen's conduct will become known to all the women causing them to look with contempt on their husbands by saying, 'King Ahasuerus commanded Queen Vashti to be brought in to his presence, but she did not come.'

nasb@Esther:1:18" @This day the ladies of Persia and Media who have heard of the queen's conduct will speak in the same way to all the king's princes, and there will be plenty of contempt and anger.

nasb@Esther:1:19" @If it pleases the king, let a royal edict be issued by him and let it be written in the laws of Persia and Media so that it cannot be repealed, that Vashti may no longer come into the presence of King Ahasuerus, and let the king give her royal position to another who is more worthy than she.

nasb@Esther:1:22 @So he sent letters to all the king's provinces, to each province according to its script and to every people according to their language, that every man should be the master in his own house and the one who speaks in the language of his own people.

nasb@Esther:2:1 @After these things when the anger of King Ahasuerus had subsided, he remembered Vashti and what she had done and what had been decreed against her.

nasb@Esther:2:2 @Then the king's attendants, who served him, said, " Let beautiful young virgins be sought for the king.

nasb@Esther:2:3" @Let the king appoint overseers in all the provinces of his kingdom that they may gather every beautiful young virgin to the citadel of Susa, to the harem, into the custody of Hegai, the king's eunuch, who is in charge of the women; and let their cosmetics be given them.

nasb@Esther:2:4" @Then let the young lady who pleases the king be queen in place of Vashti." And the matter pleased the king, and he did accordingly.

nasb@Esther:2:5 @Now there was at the citadel in Susa a Jew whose name was Mordecai, the son of Jair, the son of Shimei, the son of Kish, a Benjamite,

nasb@Esther:2:6 @who had been taken into exile from Jerusalem with the captives who had been exiled with Jeconiah king of Judah, whom Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon had exiled.

nasb@Esther:2:7 @He was bringing up Hadassah, that is Esther, his uncle's daughter, for she had no father or mother. Now the young lady was beautiful of form and face, and when her father and her mother died, Mordecai took her as his own daughter.

nasb@Esther:2:9 @Now the young lady pleased him and found favor with him. So he quickly provided her with her cosmetics and food, gave her seven choice maids from the king's palace and transferred her and her maids to the best place in the harem.

nasb@Esther:2:12 @Now when the turn of each young lady came to go in to King Ahasuerus, after the end of her twelve months under the regulations for the women--for the days of their beautification were completed as follows- six months with oil of myrrh and six months with spices and the cosmetics for women--

nasb@Esther:2:16 @So Esther was taken to King Ahasuerus to his royal palace in the tenth month which is the month Tebeth, in the seventh year of his reign.

nasb@Esther:2:21 @In those days, while Mordecai was sitting at the king's gate, Bigthan and Teresh, two of the king's officials from those who guarded the door, became angry and sought to lay hands on King Ahasuerus.

nasb@Esther:2:22 @But the plot became known to Mordecai and he told Queen Esther, and Esther informed the king in Mordecai's name.

nasb@Esther:2:23 @Now when the plot was investigated and found to be so, they were both hanged on a gallows; and it was written in the Book of the Chronicles in the king's presence.

nasb@Esther:3:7 @In the first month, which is the month Nisan, in the twelfth year of King Ahasuerus, Pur, that is the lot, was cast before Haman from day to day and from month to month, until the twelfth month, that is the month Adar.

nasb@Esther:3:9" @If it is pleasing to the king, let it be decreed that they be destroyed, and I will pay ten thousand talents of silver into the hands of those who carry on the king's business, to put into the king's treasuries."

nasb@Esther:3:12 @Then the king's scribes were summoned on the thirteenth day of the first month, and it was written just as Haman commanded to the king's satraps, to the governors who were over each province and to the princes of each people, each province according to its script, each people according to its language, being written in the name of King Ahasuerus and sealed with the king's signet ring.

nasb@Esther:3:14 @A copy of the edict to be issued as law in every province was published to all the peoples so that they should be ready for this day.

nasb@Esther:4:1 @When Mordecai learned all that had been done, he tore his clothes, put on sackcloth and ashes, and went out into the midst of the city and wailed loudly and bitterly.

nasb@Esther:4:8 @He also gave him a copy of the text of the edict which had been issued in Susa for their destruction, that he might show Esther and inform her, and to order her to go in to the king to implore his favor and to plead with him for her people.

nasb@Esther:4:11" @All the king's servants and the people of the king's provinces know that for any man or woman who comes to the king to the inner court who is not summoned, he has but one law, that he be put to death, unless the king holds out to him the golden scepter so that he may live. And I have not been summoned to come to the king for these thirty days."

nasb@Esther:5:1 @Now it came about on the third day that Esther put on her royal robes and stood in the inner court of the king's palace in front of the king's rooms, and the king was sitting on his royal throne in the throne room, opposite the entrance to the palace.

nasb@Esther:5:3 @Then the king said to her, "What is troubling you, Queen Esther? And what is your request? Even to half of the kingdom it shall be given to you."

nasb@Esther:5:6 @As they drank their wine at the banquet, the king said to Esther, " What is your petition, for it shall be granted to you. And what is your request? Even to half of the kingdom it shall be done."

nasb@Esther:5:9 @Then Haman went out that day glad and pleased of heart; but when Haman saw Mordecai in the king's gate and that he did not stand up or tremble before him, Haman was filled with anger against Mordecai.

nasb@Esther:5:11 @Then Haman recounted to them the glory of his riches, and the number of his sons, and every instance where the king had magnified him and how he had promoted him above the princes and servants of the king.

nasb@Esther:6:1 @During that night the king could not sleep so he gave an order to bring the book of records, the chronicles, and they were read before the king.

nasb@Esther:6:3 @The king said, "What honor or dignity has been bestowed on Mordecai for this?" Then the king's servants who attended him said, "Nothing has been done for him."

nasb@Esther:6:5 @The king's servants said to him, "Behold, Haman is standing in the court." And the king said, "Let him come in."

nasb@Esther:6:6 @So Haman came in and the king said to him, "What is to be done for the man whom the king desires to honor?" And Haman said to himself, "Whom would the king desire to honor more than me?"

nasb@Esther:6:8 @let them bring a royal robe which the king has worn, and the horse on which the king has ridden, and on whose head a royal crown has been placed;

nasb@Esther:6:9 @and let the robe and the horse be handed over to one of the king's most noble princes and let them array the man whom the king desires to honor and lead him on horseback through the city square, and proclaim before him, 'Thus it shall be done to the man whom the king desires to honor.'"

nasb@Esther:6:10 @Then the king said to Haman, "Take quickly the robes and the horse as you have said, and do so for Mordecai the Jew, who is sitting at the king's gate; do not fall short in anything of all that you have said."

nasb@Esther:6:11 @So Haman took the robe and the horse, and arrayed Mordecai, and led him on horseback through the city square, and proclaimed before him, "Thus it shall be done to the man whom the king desires to honor."

nasb@Esther:6:13 @Haman recounted to Zeresh his wife and all his friends everything that had happened to him. Then his wise men and Zeresh his wife said to him, "If Mordecai, before whom you have begun to fall, is of Jewish origin, you will not overcome him, but will surely fall before him."

nasb@Esther:7:2 @And the king said to Esther on the second day also as they drank their wine at the banquet, " What is your petition, Queen Esther? It shall be granted you. And what is your request? Even to half of the kingdom it shall be done."

nasb@Esther:7:3 @Then Queen Esther replied, " If I have found favor in your sight, O king, and if it pleases the king, let my life be given me as my petition, and my people as my request;

nasb@Esther:7:4 @for we have been sold, I and my people, to be destroyed, to be killed and to be annihilated. Now if we had only been sold as slaves, men and women, I would have remained silent, for the trouble would not be commensurate with the annoyance to the king."

nasb@Esther:7:6 @Esther said, " A foe and an enemy is this wicked Haman!" Then Haman became terrified before the king and queen.

nasb@Esther:7:7 @The king arose in his anger from drinking wine and went into the palace garden; but Haman stayed to beg for his life from Queen Esther, for he saw that harm had been determined against him by the king.

nasb@Esther:7:9 @Then Harbonah, one of the eunuchs who were before the king said, "Behold indeed, the gallows standing at Haman's house fifty cubits high, which Haman made for Mordecai who spoke good on behalf of the king!" And the king said, "Hang him on it."

nasb@Esther:8:1 @On that day King Ahasuerus gave the house of Haman, the enemy of the Jews, to Queen Esther; and Mordecai came before the king, for Esther had disclosed what he was to her.

nasb@Esther:8:4 @The king extended the golden scepter to Esther. So Esther arose and stood before the king.

nasb@Esther:8:5 @Then she said, " If it pleases the king and if I have found favor before him and the matter seems proper to the king and I am pleasing in his sight, let it be written to revoke the letters devised by Haman, the son of Hammedatha the Agagite, which he wrote to destroy the Jews who are in all the king's provinces.

nasb@Esther:8:6" @For how can I endure to see the calamity which will befall my people, and how can I endure to see the destruction of my kindred?"

nasb@Esther:8:7 @So King Ahasuerus said to Queen Esther and to Mordecai the Jew, "Behold, I have given the house of Haman to Esther, and him they have hanged on the gallows because he had stretched out his hands against the Jews.

nasb@Esther:8:8" @Now you write to the Jews as you see fit, in the king's name, and seal it with the king's signet ring; for a decree which is written in the name of the king and sealed with the king's signet ring may not be revoked."

nasb@Esther:8:9 @So the king's scribes were called at that time in the third month (that is, the month Sivan), on the twenty-third day; and it was written according to all that Mordecai commanded to the Jews, the satraps, the governors and the princes of the provinces which extended from India to Ethiopia, 127 provinces, to every province according to its script, and to every people according to their language as well as to the Jews according to their script and their language.

nasb@Esther:8:13 @A copy of the edict to be issued as law in each and every province was published to all the peoples, so that the Jews would be ready for this day to avenge themselves on their enemies.

nasb@Esther:8:15 @Then Mordecai went out from the presence of the king in royal robes of blue and white, with a large crown of gold and a garment of fine linen and purple; and the city of Susa shouted and rejoiced.

nasb@Esther:8:17 @In each and every province and in each and every city, wherever the king's commandment and his decree arrived, there was gladness and joy for the Jews, a feast and a holiday. And many among the peoples of the land became Jews, for the dread of the Jews had fallen on them.

nasb@Esther:9:1 @Now in the twelfth month (that is, the month Adar), on the thirteenth day when the king's command and edict were about to be executed, on the day when the enemies of the Jews hoped to gain the mastery over them, it was turned to the contrary so that the Jews themselves gained the mastery over those who hated them.

nasb@Esther:9:2 @The Jews assembled in their cities throughout all the provinces of King Ahasuerus to lay hands on those who sought their harm; and no one could stand before them, for the dread of them had fallen on all the peoples.

nasb@Esther:9:3 @Even all the princes of the provinces, the satraps, the governors and those who were doing the king's business assisted the Jews, because the dread of Mordecai had fallen on them.

nasb@Esther:9:4 @Indeed, Mordecai was great in the king's house, and his fame spread throughout all the provinces; for the man Mordecai became greater and greater.

nasb@Esther:9:11 @On that day the number of those who were killed at the citadel in Susa was reported to the king.

nasb@Esther:9:12 @The king said to Queen Esther, "The Jews have killed and destroyed five hundred men and the ten sons of Haman at the citadel in Susa. What then have they done in the rest of the king's provinces! Now what is your petition? It shall even be granted you. And what is your further request? It shall also be done."

nasb@Esther:9:13 @Then said Esther, "If it pleases the king, let tomorrow also be granted to the Jews who are in Susa to do according to the edict of today; and let Haman's ten sons be hanged on the gallows."

nasb@Esther:9:14 @So the king commanded that it should be done so; and an edict was issued in Susa, and Haman's ten sons were hanged.

nasb@Esther:9:22 @because on those days the Jews rid themselves of their enemies, and it was a month which was turned for them from sorrow into gladness and from mourning into a holiday; that they should make them days of feasting and rejoicing and sending portions of food to one another and gifts to the poor.

nasb@Esther:9:25 @But when it came to the king's attention, he commanded by letter that his wicked scheme which he had devised against the Jews, should return on his own head and that he and his sons should be hanged on the gallows.

nasb@Esther:9:26 @Therefore they called these days Purim after the name of Pur. And because of the instructions in this letter, both what they had seen in this regard and what had happened to them,

nasb@Esther:9:28 @So these days were to be remembered and celebrated throughout every generation, every family, every province and every city; and these days of Purim were not to fail from among the Jews, or their memory fade from their descendants.

nasb@Job:1:5 @When the days of feasting had completed their cycle, Job would send and consecrate them, rising up early in the morning and offering burnt offerings according to the number of them all; for Job said, " Perhaps my sons have sinned and cursed God in their hearts." Thus Job did continually.

nasb@Job:1:6 @Now there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the LORD, and Satan also came among them.

nasb@Job:1:12 @Then the LORD said to Satan, "Behold, all that he has is in your power, only do not put forth your hand on him." So Satan departed from the presence of the LORD.

nasb@Job:1:14 @a messenger came to Job and said, "The oxen were plowing and the donkeys feeding beside them,

nasb@Job:1:15 @and the Sabeans attacked and took them. They also slew the servants with the edge of the sword, and I alone have escaped to tell you."

nasb@Job:1:19 @and behold, a great wind came from across the wilderness and struck the four corners of the house, and it fell on the young people and they died, and I alone have escaped to tell you."

nasb@Job:1:20 @Then Job arose and tore his robe and shaved his head, and he fell to the ground and worshiped.

nasb@Job:1:21 @He said, " Naked I came from my mother's womb, And naked I shall return there. The LORD gave and the LORD has taken away. Blessed be the name of the LORD."

nasb@Job:2:1 @Again there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the LORD, and Satan also came among them to present himself before the LORD.

nasb@Job:2:6 @So the LORD said to Satan, "Behold, he is in your power, only spare his life."

nasb@Job:2:12 @When they lifted up their eyes at a distance and did not recognize him, they raised their voices and wept. And each of them tore his robe and they threw dust over their heads toward the sky.

nasb@Job:3:3" @ Let the day perish on which I was to be born, And the night which said, 'A boy is conceived.'

nasb@Job:3:4" @May that day be darkness; Let not God above care for it, Nor light shine on it.

nasb@Job:3:7" @Behold, let that night be barren; Let no joyful shout enter it.

nasb@Job:3:9" @Let the stars of its twilight be darkened; Let it wait for light but have none, And let it not see the breaking dawn;

nasb@Job:3:21 @Before I go-- and I shall not return-- To the land of darkness and deep shadow,

nasb@Job:3:2" @Shall a multitude of words go unanswered, And a talkative man be acquitted?

nasb@Job:3:12" @ An idiot will become intelligent When the foal of a wild donkey is born a man.

nasb@Job:3:15" @Then, indeed, you could lift up your face without moral defect, And you would be steadfast and not fear.

nasb@Job:3:16" @For you would forget your trouble, As waters that have passed by, you would remember it.

nasb@Job:3:17" @Your life would be brighter than noonday; Darkness would be like the morning.

nasb@Job:3:18" @Then you would trust, because there is hope; And you would look around and rest securely.

nasb@Job:3:20" @But the eyes of the wicked will fail, And there will be no escape for them; And their hope is to breathe their last."

nasb@Job:3:7" @But now ask the beasts, and let them teach you; And the birds of the heavens, and let them tell you.

nasb@Job:3:13" @With Him are wisdom and might; To Him belong counsel and understanding.

nasb@Job:3:14" @Behold, He tears down, and it cannot be rebuilt; He imprisons a man, and there can be no release.

nasb@Job:3:15" @Behold, He restrains the waters, and they dry up; And He sends them out, and they inundate the earth.

nasb@Job:3:16" @With Him are strength and sound wisdom, The misled and the misleader belong to Him.

nasb@Job:3:21" @He pours contempt on nobles And loosens the belt of the strong.

nasb@Job:3:13" @ Behold, my eye has seen all this, My ear has heard and understood it.

nasb@Job:3:5" @O that you would be completely silent, And that it would become your wisdom!

nasb@Job:3:9" @Will it be well when He examines you? Or will you deceive Him as one deceives a man?

nasb@Job:3:13" @ Be silent before me so that I may speak; Then let come on me what may.

nasb@Job:3:15" @ Though He slay me, I will hope in Him. Nevertheless I will argue my ways before Him.

nasb@Job:3:16" @This also will be my salvation, For a godless man may not come before His presence.

nasb@Job:3:18" @Behold now, I have prepared my case; I know that I will be vindicated.

nasb@Job:3:19" @ Who will contend with me? For then I would be silent and die.

nasb@Job:3:23" @ How many are my iniquities and sins? Make known to me my rebellion and my sin.

nasb@Job:3:5" @Since his days are determined, The number of his months is with You; And his limits You have set so that he cannot pass.

nasb@Job:3:11" @As water evaporates from the sea, And a river becomes parched and dried up,

nasb@Job:3:12 @So man lies down and does not rise. Until the heavens are no longer, He will not awake nor be aroused out of his sleep.

nasb@Job:3:13" @Oh that You would hide me in Sheol, That You would conceal me until Your wrath returns to You, That You would set a limit for me and remember me!

nasb@Job:3:16" @For now You number my steps, You do not observe my sin.

nasb@Job:3:21" @His sons achieve honor, but he does not know it; Or they become insignificant, but he does not perceive it.

nasb@Job:3:4" @Indeed, you do away with reverence And hinder meditation before God.

nasb@Job:3:7" @Were you the first man to be born, Or were you brought forth before the hills?

nasb@Job:3:14" @What is man, that he should be pure, Or he who is born of a woman, that he should be righteous?

nasb@Job:3:15" @Behold, He puts no trust in His holy ones, And the heavens are not pure in His sight;

nasb@Job:3:20" @The wicked man writhes in pain all his days, And numbered are the years stored up for the ruthless.

nasb@Job:3:22" @He does not believe that he will return from darkness, And he is destined for the sword.

nasb@Job:3:25 @Because he has stretched out his hand against God And conducts himself arrogantly against the Almighty.

nasb@Job:3:28" @He has lived in desolate cities, In houses no one would inhabit, Which are destined to become ruins.

nasb@Job:3:29" @He will not become rich, nor will his wealth endure; And his grain will not bend down to the ground.

nasb@Job:3:31" @Let him not trust in emptiness, deceiving himself; For emptiness will be his reward.

nasb@Job:3:32" @It will be accomplished before his time, And his palm branch will not be green.

nasb@Job:3:8" @You have shriveled me up, It has become a witness; And my leanness rises up against me, It testifies to my face.

nasb@Job:3:18" @O earth, do not cover my blood, And let there be no resting place for my cry.

nasb@Job:3:19" @Even now, behold, my witness is in heaven, And my advocate is on high.

nasb@Job:3:3" @Lay down, now, a pledge for me with Yourself; Who is there that will be my guarantor?

nasb@Job:3:7" @My eye has also grown dim because of grief, And all my members are as a shadow.

nasb@Job:3:8" @The upright will be appalled at this, And the innocent will stir up himself against the godless.

nasb@Job:3:13" @If I look for Sheol as my home, I make my bed in the darkness;

nasb@Job:3:3" @Why are we regarded as beasts, As stupid in your eyes?

nasb@Job:3:4" @O you who tear yourself in your anger-- For your sake is the earth to be abandoned, Or the rock to be moved from its place?

nasb@Job:3:14" @He is torn from the security of his tent, And they march him before the king of terrors.

nasb@Job:3:16" @His roots are dried below, And his branch is cut off above.

nasb@Job:3:7" @Behold, I cry, 'Violence!' but I get no answer; I shout for help, but there is no justice.

nasb@Job:3:23" @Oh that my words were written! Oh that they were inscribed in a book!

nasb@Job:3:27 @Whom I myself shall behold, And whom my eyes will see and not another. My heart faints within me!

nasb@Job:3:29" @Then be afraid of the sword for yourselves, For wrath brings the punishment of the sword, So that you may know there is judgment."

nasb@Job:3:2" @Therefore my disquieting thoughts make me respond, Even because of my inward agitation.

nasb@Job:3:9" @The eye which saw him sees him no longer, And his place no longer beholds him.

nasb@Job:3:15" @He swallows riches, But will vomit them up; God will expel them from his belly.

nasb@Job:3:20" @Because he knew no quiet within him, He does not retain anything he desires.

nasb@Job:3:22" @In the fullness of his plenty he will be cramped; The hand of everyone who suffers will come against him.

nasb@Job:3:23" @When he fills his belly, God will send His fierce anger on him And will rain it on him while he is eating.

nasb@Job:3:2" @Listen carefully to my speech, And let this be your way of consolation.

nasb@Job:3:3" @Bear with me that I may speak; Then after I have spoken, you may mock.

nasb@Job:3:4" @As for me, is my complaint to man? And why should I not be impatient?

nasb@Job:3:5" @Look at me, and be astonished, And put your hand over your mouth.

nasb@Job:3:6" @Even when I remember, I am disturbed, And horror takes hold of my flesh.

nasb@Job:3:7" @Why do the wicked still live, Continue on, also become very powerful?

nasb@Job:3:8" @Their descendants are established with them in their sight, And their offspring before their eyes,

nasb@Job:3:16" @Behold, their prosperity is not in their hand; The counsel of the wicked is far from me.

nasb@Job:3:18" @Are they as straw before the wind, And like chaff which the storm carries away?

nasb@Job:3:21" @For what does he care for his household after him, When the number of his months is cut off?

nasb@Job:3:23" @One dies in his full strength, Being wholly at ease and satisfied;

nasb@Job:3:27" @Behold, I know your thoughts, And the plans by which you would wrong me.

nasb@Job:3:30" @For the wicked is reserved for the day of calamity; They will be led forth at the day of fury.

nasb@Job:3:33" @The clods of the valley will gently cover him; Moreover, all men will follow after him, While countless ones go before him.

nasb@Job:3:2" @Can a vigorous man be of use to God, Or a wise man be useful to himself?

nasb@Job:3:4" @Is it because of your reverence that He reproves you, That He enters into judgment against you?

nasb@Job:3:8" @But the earth belongs to the mighty man, And the honorable man dwells in it.

nasb@Job:3:9" @You have sent widows away empty, And the strength of the orphans has been crushed.

nasb@Job:3:16 @Who were snatched away before their time, Whose foundations were washed away by a river?

nasb@Job:3:21" @ Yield now and be at peace with Him; Thereby good will come to you.

nasb@Job:3:23" @If you return to the Almighty, you will be restored; If you remove unrighteousness far from your tent,

nasb@Job:3:25 @Then the Almighty will be your gold And choice silver to you.

nasb@Job:3:28" @You will also decree a thing, and it will be established for you; And light will shine on your ways.

nasb@Job:3:30" @He will deliver one who is not innocent, And he will be delivered through the cleanness of your hands."

nasb@Job:3:2" @Even today my complaint is rebellion; His hand is heavy despite my groaning.

nasb@Job:3:4" @I would present my case before Him And fill my mouth with arguments.

nasb@Job:3:7" @There the upright would reason with Him; And I would be delivered forever from my Judge.

nasb@Job:3:8" @Behold, I go forward but He is not there, And backward, but I cannot perceive Him;

nasb@Job:3:9 @When He acts on the left, I cannot behold Him; He turns on the right, I cannot see Him.

nasb@Job:3:15" @Therefore, I would be dismayed at His presence; When I consider, I am terrified of Him.

nasb@Job:3:5" @Behold, as wild donkeys in the wilderness They go forth seeking food in their activity, As bread for their children in the desert.

nasb@Job:3:13" @Others have been with those who rebel against the light; They do not want to know its ways Nor abide in its paths.

nasb@Job:3:20" @A mother will forget him; The worm feeds sweetly till he is no longer remembered. And wickedness will be broken like a tree.

nasb@Job:3:2" @ Dominion and awe belong to Him Who establishes peace in His heights.

nasb@Job:3:3" @Is there any number to His troops? And upon whom does His light not rise?

nasb@Job:3:4" @How then can a man be just with God? Or how can he be clean who is born of woman?

nasb@Job:3:6" @Naked is Sheol before Him, And Abaddon has no covering.

nasb@Job:3:10" @He has inscribed a circle on the surface of the waters At the boundary of light and darkness.

nasb@Job:3:14" @Behold, these are the fringes of His ways; And how faint a word we hear of Him! But His mighty thunder, who can understandNULL"

nasb@Job:3:5" @Far be it from me that I should declare you right; Till I die I will not put away my integrity from me.

nasb@Job:3:7" @May my enemy be as the wicked And my opponent as the unjust.

nasb@Job:3:12" @Behold, all of you have seen it; Why then do you act foolishly?

nasb@Job:3:14" @Though his sons are many, they are destined for the sword; And his descendants will not be satisfied with bread.

nasb@Job:3:15" @His survivors will be buried because of the plague, And their widows will not be able to weep.

nasb@Job:3:8" @The proud beasts have not trodden it, Nor has the fierce lion passed over it.

nasb@Job:3:12" @But where can wisdom be found? And where is the place of understanding?

nasb@Job:3:15" @ Pure gold cannot be given in exchange for it, Nor can silver be weighed as its price.

nasb@Job:3:16" @It cannot be valued in the gold of Ophir, In precious onyx, or sapphire.

nasb@Job:3:17" @ Gold or glass cannot equal it, Nor can it be exchanged for articles of fine gold.

nasb@Job:3:18" @Coral and crystal are not to be mentioned; And the acquisition of wisdom is above that of pearls.

nasb@Job:3:19" @The topaz of Ethiopia cannot equal it, Nor can it be valued in pure gold.

nasb@Job:3:28" @And to man He said, 'Behold, the fear of the Lord, that is wisdom; And to depart from evil is understanding.'"

nasb@Job:3:12 @Because I delivered the poor who cried for help, And the orphan who had no helper.

nasb@Job:3:14" @I put on righteousness, and it clothed me; My justice was like a robe and a turban.

nasb@Job:3:24" @I smiled on them when they did not believe, And the light of my face they did not cast down.

nasb@Job:3:9" @And now I have become their taunt, I have even become a byword to them.

nasb@Job:3:11" @Because He has loosed His bowstring and afflicted me, They have cast off the bridle before me.

nasb@Job:3:19" @He has cast me into the mire, And I have become like dust and ashes.

nasb@Job:3:21" @You have become cruel to me; With the might of Your hand You persecute me.

nasb@Job:3:29" @I have become a brother to jackals And a companion of ostriches.

nasb@Job:3:4" @Does He not see my ways And number all my steps?

nasb@Job:3:8 @Let me sow and another eat, And let my crops be uprooted.

nasb@Job:3:9" @If my heart has been enticed by a woman, Or I have lurked at my neighbor's doorway,

nasb@Job:3:11" @For that would be a lustful crime; Moreover, it would be an iniquity punishable by judges.

nasb@Job:3:12" @For it would be fire that consumes to Abaddon, And would uproot all my increase.

nasb@Job:3:20 @If his loins have not thanked me, And if he has not been warmed with the fleece of my sheep,

nasb@Job:3:21 @If I have lifted up my hand against the orphan, Because I saw I had support in the gate,

nasb@Job:3:22 @Let my shoulder fall from the socket, And my arm be broken off at the elbow.

nasb@Job:3:23" @For calamity from God is a terror to me, And because of His majesty I can do nothing.

nasb@Job:3:25 @If I have gloated because my wealth was great, And because my hand had secured so much;

nasb@Job:3:27 @And my heart became secretly enticed, And my hand threw a kiss from my mouth,

nasb@Job:3:28 @That too would have been an iniquity calling for judgment, For I would have denied God above.

nasb@Job:3:29" @Have I rejoiced at the extinction of my enemy, Or exulted when evil befell him?

nasb@Job:3:31" @Have the men of my tent not said, 'Who can find one who has not been satisfied with his meat'?

nasb@Job:3:34 @Because I feared the great multitude, And the contempt of families terrified me, And kept silent and did not go out of doors?

nasb@Job:3:35" @Oh that I had one to hear me! Behold, here is my signature; Let the Almighty answer me! And the indictment which my adversary has written,

nasb@Job:3:37" @I would declare to Him the number of my steps; Like a prince I would approach Him.

nasb@Job:4:1 @Then these three men ceased answering Job, because he was righteous in his own eyes.

nasb@Job:4:2 @But the anger of Elihu the son of Barachel the Buzite, of the family of Ram burned; against Job his anger burned because he justified himself before God.

nasb@Job:4:3 @And his anger burned against his three friends because they had found no answer, and yet had condemned Job.

nasb@Job:4:4 @Now Elihu had waited to speak to Job because they were years older than he.

nasb@Job:4:9" @The abundant in years may not be wise, Nor may elders understand justice.

nasb@Job:4:11" @Behold, I waited for your words, I listened to your reasonings, While you pondered what to say.

nasb@Job:4:16" @Shall I wait, because they do not speak, Because they stop and no longer answer?

nasb@Job:4:19" @Behold, my belly is like unvented wine, Like new wineskins it is about to burst.

nasb@Job:4:21" @Let me now be partial to no one, Nor flatter any man.

nasb@Job:4:2" @Behold now, I open my mouth, My tongue in my mouth speaks.

nasb@Job:4:5" @ Refute me if you can; Array yourselves before me, take your stand.

nasb@Job:4:6" @Behold, I belong to God like you; I too have been formed out of the clay.

nasb@Job:4:7" @Behold, no fear of me should terrify you, Nor should my pressure weigh heavily on you.

nasb@Job:4:10 @'Behold, He invents pretexts against me; He counts me as His enemy.

nasb@Job:4:12" @Behold, let me tell you, you are not right in this, For God is greater than man.

nasb@Job:4:15" @In a dream, a vision of the night, When sound sleep falls on men, While they slumber in their beds,

nasb@Job:4:19" @Man is also chastened with pain on his bed, And with unceasing complaint in his bones;

nasb@Job:4:24 @Then let him be gracious to him, and say, 'Deliver him from going down to the pit, I have found a ransom';

nasb@Job:4:25 @Let his flesh become fresher than in youth, Let him return to the days of his youthful vigor;

nasb@Job:4:29" @Behold, God does all these oftentimes with men,

nasb@Job:4:30 @To bring back his soul from the pit, That he may be enlightened with the light of life.

nasb@Job:4:10" @Therefore, listen to me, you men of understanding. Far be it from God to do wickedness, And from the Almighty to do wrong.

nasb@Job:4:23" @For He does not need to consider a man further, That he should go before God in judgment.

nasb@Job:4:27 @Because they turned aside from following Him, And had no regard for any of His ways;

nasb@Job:4:29 @When He keeps quiet, who then can condemn? And when He hides His face, who then can behold Him, That is, in regard to both nation and man?--

nasb@Job:4:30 @So that godless men would not rule Nor be snares of the people.

nasb@Job:4:33" @Shall He recompense on your terms, because you have rejected it? For you must choose, and not I; Therefore declare what you know.

nasb@Job:4:36 @'Job ought to be tried to the limit, Because he answers like wicked men.

nasb@Job:4:37 @'For he adds rebellion to his sin; He claps his hands among us, And multiplies his words against God.'"

nasb@Job:4:3" @For you say, ' What advantage will it be to You? What profit will I have, more than if I had sinned?'

nasb@Job:4:5" @ Look at the heavens and see; And behold the clouds--they are higher than you.

nasb@Job:4:9" @Because of the multitude of oppressions they cry out; They cry for help because of the arm of the mighty.

nasb@Job:4:11 @Who teaches us more than the beasts of the earth And makes us wiser than the birds of the heavens?'

nasb@Job:4:12" @There they cry out, but He does not answer Because of the pride of evil men.

nasb@Job:4:14" @How much less when you say you do not behold Him, The case is before Him, and you must wait for Him!

nasb@Job:4:15" @And now, because He has not visited in His anger, Nor has He acknowledged transgression well,

nasb@Job:4:2" @Wait for me a little, and I will show you That there is yet more to be said in God's behalf.

nasb@Job:4:3" @I will fetch my knowledge from afar, And I will ascribe righteousness to my Maker.

nasb@Job:4:5" @Behold, God is mighty but does not despise any; He is mighty in strength of understanding.

nasb@Job:4:18" @Beware that wrath does not entice you to scoffing; And do not let the greatness of the ransom turn you aside.

nasb@Job:4:21" @Be careful, do not turn to evil, For you have preferred this to affliction.

nasb@Job:4:22" @Behold, God is exalted in His power; Who is a teacher like Him?

nasb@Job:4:24" @Remember that you should exalt His work, Of which men have sung.

nasb@Job:4:25" @All men have seen it; Man beholds from afar.

nasb@Job:4:26" @Behold, God is exalted, and we do not know Him; The number of His years is unsearchable.

nasb@Job:4:30" @Behold, He spreads His lightning about Him, And He covers the depths of the sea.

nasb@Job:4:6" @For to the snow He says, 'Fall on the earth,' And to the downpour and the rain, 'Be strong.'

nasb@Job:4:8" @Then the beast goes into its lair And remains in its den.

nasb@Job:4:17 @You whose garments are hot, When the land is still because of the south wind?

nasb@Job:4:19" @Teach us what we shall say to Him; We cannot arrange our case because of darkness.

nasb@Job:4:20" @Shall it be told Him that I would speak? Or should a man say that he would be swallowed up?

nasb@Job:4:13 @That it might take hold of the ends of the earth, And the wicked be shaken out of it?

nasb@Job:4:17" @Have the gates of death been revealed to you, Or have you seen the gates of deep darkness?

nasb@Job:4:21" @You know, for you were born then, And the number of your days is great!

nasb@Job:4:28" @Has the rain a father? Or who has begotten the drops of dew?

nasb@Job:4:30" @Water becomes hard like stone, And the surface of the deep is imprisoned.

nasb@Job:4:32" @Can you lead forth a constellation in its season, And guide the Bear with her satellites?

nasb@Job:4:36" @Who has put wisdom in the innermost being Or given understanding to the mind?

nasb@Job:4:4" @Their offspring become strong, they grow up in the open field; They leave and do not return to them.

nasb@Job:4:11" @Will you trust him because his strength is great And leave your labor to him?

nasb@Job:4:15 @And she forgets that a foot may crush them, Or that a wild beast may trample them.

nasb@Job:4:16" @She treats her young cruelly, as if they were not hers; Though her labor be in vain, she is unconcerned;

nasb@Job:4:17 @Because God has made her forget wisdom, And has not given her a share of understanding.

nasb@Job:4:4" @Behold, I am insignificant; what can I reply to You? I lay my hand on my mouth.

nasb@Job:4:8" @Will you really annul My judgment? Will you condemn Me that you may be justified?

nasb@Job:4:15" @Behold now, Behemoth, which I made as well as you; He eats grass like an ox.

nasb@Job:4:16" @Behold now, his strength in his loins And his power in the muscles of his belly.

nasb@Job:4:17" @He bends his tail like a cedar; The sinews of his thighs are knit together.

nasb@Job:4:18" @His bones are tubes of bronze; His limbs are like bars of iron.

nasb@Job:4:20" @Surely the mountains bring him food, And all the beasts of the field play there.

nasb@Job:4:8" @Lay your hand on him; Remember the battle; you will not do it again!

nasb@Job:4:9" @Behold, your expectation is false; Will you be laid low even at the sight of him?

nasb@Job:4:10" @No one is so fierce that he dares to arouse him; Who then is he that can stand before Me?

nasb@Job:4:16" @One is so near to another That no air can come between them.

nasb@Job:4:17" @They are joined one to another; They clasp each other and cannot be separated.

nasb@Job:4:22" @In his neck lodges strength, And dismay leaps before him.

nasb@Job:4:25" @When he raises himself up, the mighty fear; Because of the crashing they are bewildered.

nasb@Job:4:32" @Behind him he makes a wake to shine; One would think the deep to be gray-haired.

nasb@Job:4:2" @I know that You can do all things, And that no purpose of Yours can be thwarted.

nasb@Job:4:7 @It came about after the LORD had spoken these words to Job, that the LORD said to Eliphaz the Temanite, "My wrath is kindled against you and against your two friends, because you have not spoken of Me what is right as My servant Job has.

nasb@Job:4:8" @Now therefore, take for yourselves seven bulls and seven rams, and go to My servant Job, and offer up a burnt offering for yourselves, and My servant Job will pray for you. For I will accept him so that I may not do with you according to your folly, because you have not spoken of Me what is right, as My servant Job has."

nasb@Job:4:11 @Then all his brothers and all his sisters and all who had known him before came to him, and they ate bread with him in his house; and they consoled him and comforted him for all the adversities that the LORD had brought on him. And each one gave him one piece of money, and each a ring of gold.

nasb@Job:4:12 @The LORD blessed the latter days of Job more than his beginning; and he had 14,000 sheep and 6,000 camels and 1,000 yoke of oxen and 1,000 female donkeys.

nasb@Ecclesiastes:0:11 @There is no remembrance of earlier things; And also of the later things which will occur, There will be for them no remembrance Among those who will come later still.

nasb@Ecclesiastes:0:12 @I, the Preacher, have been king over Israel in Jerusalem.

nasb@Ecclesiastes:0:13 @And I set my mind to seek and explore by wisdom concerning all that has been done under heaven. It is a grievous task which God has given to the sons of men to be afflicted with.

nasb@Ecclesiastes:0:14 @I have seen all the works which have been done under the sun, and behold, all is vanity and striving after wind.

nasb@Ecclesiastes:0:15 @What is crooked cannot be straightened and what is lacking cannot be counted.

nasb@Ecclesiastes:0:16 @I said to myself, "Behold, I have magnified and increased wisdom more than all who were over Jerusalem before me; and my mind has observed a wealth of wisdom and knowledge."

nasb@Ecclesiastes:0:18 @Because in much wisdom there is much grief, and increasing knowledge results in increasing pain.

nasb@Ecclesiastes:1:1 @I said to myself, "Come now, I will test you with pleasure. So enjoy yourself." And behold, it too was futility.

nasb@Ecclesiastes:1:9 @Then I became great and increased more than all who preceded me in Jerusalem. My wisdom also stood by me.

nasb@Ecclesiastes:1:10 @All that my eyes desired I did not refuse them. I did not withhold my heart from any pleasure, for my heart was pleased because of all my labor and this was my reward for all my labor.

nasb@Ecclesiastes:1:11 @Thus I considered all my activities which my hands had done and the labor which I had exerted, and behold all was vanity and striving after wind and there was no profit under the sun.

nasb@Ecclesiastes:1:12 @So I turned to consider wisdom, madness and folly; for what will the man do who will come after the king except what has already been done?

nasb@Ecclesiastes:1:14 @The wise man's eyes are in his head, but the fool walks in darkness. And yet I know that one fate befalls them both.

nasb@Ecclesiastes:1:15 @Then I said to myself, " As is the fate of the fool, it will also befall me. Why then have I been extremely wise?" So I said to myself, "This too is vanity."

nasb@Ecclesiastes:1:16 @For there is no lasting remembrance of the wise man as with the fool, inasmuch as in the coming days all will be forgotten. And how the wise man and the fool alike die!

nasb@Ecclesiastes:1:17 @So I hated life, for the work which had been done under the sun was grievous to me; because everything is futility and striving after wind.

nasb@Ecclesiastes:1:19 @And who knows whether he will be a wise man or a fool? Yet he will have control over all the fruit of my labor for which I have labored by acting wisely under the sun. This too is vanity.

nasb@Ecclesiastes:1:23 @Because all his days his task is painful and grievous; even at night his mind does not rest. This too is vanity.

nasb@Ecclesiastes:1:24 @There is nothing better for a man than to eat and drink and tell himself that his labor is good. This also I have seen that it is from the hand of God.

nasb@Ecclesiastes:2:12 @I know that there is nothing better for them than to rejoice and to do good in one's lifetime;

nasb@Ecclesiastes:2:15 @That which is has been already and that which will be has already been, for God seeks what has passed by.

nasb@Ecclesiastes:2:18 @I said to myself concerning the sons of men, "God has surely tested them in order for them to see that they are but beasts."

nasb@Ecclesiastes:2:19 @For the fate of the sons of men and the fate of beasts is the same. As one dies so dies the other; indeed, they all have the same breath and there is no advantage for man over beast, for all is vanity.

nasb@Ecclesiastes:2:21 @Who knows that the breath of man ascends upward and the breath of the beast descends downward to the earth?

nasb@Ecclesiastes:2:22 @I have seen that nothing is better than that man should be happy in his activities, for that is his lot. For who will bring him to see what will occur after himNULL

nasb@Ecclesiastes:3:1 @Then I looked again at all the acts of oppression which were being done under the sun. And behold I saw the tears of the oppressed and that they had no one to comfort them; and on the side of their oppressors was power, but they had no one to comfort them.

nasb@Ecclesiastes:3:3 @But better off than both of them is the one who has never existed, who has never seen the evil activity that is done under the sun.

nasb@Ecclesiastes:3:4 @I have seen that every labor and every skill which is done is the result of rivalry between a man and his neighbor. This too is vanity and striving after wind.

nasb@Ecclesiastes:3:6 @One hand full of rest is better than two fists full of labor and striving after wind.

nasb@Ecclesiastes:3:9 @Two are better than one because they have a good return for their labor.

nasb@Ecclesiastes:3:11 @Furthermore, if two lie down together they keep warm, but how can one be warm alone?

nasb@Ecclesiastes:3:13 @A poor yet wise lad is better than an old and foolish king who no longer knows how to receive instruction.

nasb@Ecclesiastes:3:14 @For he has come out of prison to become king, even though he was born poor in his kingdom.

nasb@Ecclesiastes:3:16 @There is no end to all the people, to all who were before them, and even the ones who will come later will not be happy with him, for this too is vanity and striving after wind.

nasb@Ecclesiastes:4:2 @Do not be hasty in word or impulsive in thought to bring up a matter in the presence of God. For God is in heaven and you are on the earth; therefore let your words be few.

nasb@Ecclesiastes:4:4 @When you make a vow to God, do not be late in paying it; for He takes no delight in fools. Pay what you vow!

nasb@Ecclesiastes:4:5 @It is better that you should not vow than that you should vow and not pay.

nasb@Ecclesiastes:4:6 @Do not let your speech cause you to sin and do not say in the presence of the messenger of God that it was a mistake. Why should God be angry on account of your voice and destroy the work of your hands?

nasb@Ecclesiastes:4:8 @If you see oppression of the poor and denial of justice and righteousness in the province, do not be shocked at the sight; for one official watches over another official, and there are higher officials over them.

nasb@Ecclesiastes:4:10 @He who loves money will not be satisfied with money, nor he who loves abundance with its income. This too is vanity.

nasb@Ecclesiastes:4:13 @There is a grievous evil which I have seen under the sun- riches being hoarded by their owner to his hurt.

nasb@Ecclesiastes:4:18 @Here is what I have seen to be good and fitting- to eat, to drink and enjoy oneself in all one's labor in which he toils under the sun during the few years of his life which God has given him; for this is his reward.

nasb@Ecclesiastes:4:20 @For he will not often consider the years of his life, because God keeps him occupied with the gladness of his heart.

nasb@Ecclesiastes:5:3 @If a man fathers a hundred children and lives many years, however many they be, but his soul is not satisfied with good things and he does not even have a proper burial, then I say, "Better the miscarriage than he,

nasb@Ecclesiastes:5:5" @It never sees the sun and it never knows anything; it is better off than he.

nasb@Ecclesiastes:5:8 @For what advantage does the wise man have over the fool? What advantage does the poor man have, knowing how to walk before the living?

nasb@Ecclesiastes:5:9 @What the eyes see is better than what the soul desires. This too is futility and a striving after wind.

nasb@Ecclesiastes:5:10 @Whatever exists has already been named, and it is known what man is; for he cannot dispute with him who is stronger than he is.

nasb@Ecclesiastes:5:12 @For who knows what is good for a man during his lifetime, during the few years of his futile lifeNULL He will spend them like a shadow. For who can tell a man what will be after him under the sunNULL

nasb@Ecclesiastes:6:1 @A good name is better than a good ointment, And the day of one's death is better than the day of one's birth.

nasb@Ecclesiastes:6:2 @It is better to go to a house of mourning Than to go to a house of feasting, Because that is the end of every man, And the living takes it to heart.

nasb@Ecclesiastes:6:3 @Sorrow is better than laughter, For when a face is sad a heart may be happy.

nasb@Ecclesiastes:6:5 @It is better to listen to the rebuke of a wise man Than for one to listen to the song of fools.

nasb@Ecclesiastes:6:7 @For oppression makes a wise man mad, And a bribe corrupts the heart.

nasb@Ecclesiastes:6:8 @The end of a matter is better than its beginning; Patience of spirit is better than haughtiness of spirit.

nasb@Ecclesiastes:6:9 @Do not be eager in your heart to be angry, For anger resides in the bosom of fools.

nasb@Ecclesiastes:6:10 @Do not say, "Why is it that the former days were better than these?" For it is not from wisdom that you ask about this.

nasb@Ecclesiastes:6:13 @Consider the work of God, For who is able to straighten what He has bent?

nasb@Ecclesiastes:6:14 @In the day of prosperity be happy, But in the day of adversity consider-- God has made the one as well as the other So that man will not discover anything that will be after him.

nasb@Ecclesiastes:6:16 @Do not be excessively righteous and do not be overly wise. Why should you ruin yourself?

nasb@Ecclesiastes:6:17 @Do not be excessively wicked and do not be a fool. Why should you die before your time?

nasb@Ecclesiastes:6:23 @I tested all this with wisdom, and I said, "I will be wise," but it was far from me.

nasb@Ecclesiastes:6:24 @What has been is remote and exceedingly mysterious. Who can discover it?

nasb@Ecclesiastes:6:26 @And I discovered more bitter than death the woman whose heart is snares and nets, whose hands are chains. One who is pleasing to God will escape from her, but the sinner will be captured by her.

nasb@Ecclesiastes:6:27" @Behold, I have discovered this," says the Preacher, "adding one thing to another to find an explanation,

nasb@Ecclesiastes:6:29" @Behold, I have found only this, that God made men upright, but they have sought out many devices."

nasb@Ecclesiastes:7:1 @Who is like the wise man and who knows the interpretation of a matter? A man's wisdom illumines him and causes his stern face to beam.

nasb@Ecclesiastes:7:2 @I say, "Keep the command of the king because of the oath before God.

nasb@Ecclesiastes:7:3" @Do not be in a hurry to leave him. Do not join in an evil matter, for he will do whatever he pleases."

nasb@Ecclesiastes:7:9 @All this I have seen and applied my mind to every deed that has been done under the sun wherein a man has exercised authority over another man to his hurt.

nasb@Ecclesiastes:7:11 @Because the sentence against an evil deed is not executed quickly, therefore the hearts of the sons of men among them are given fully to do evil.

nasb@Ecclesiastes:7:12 @Although a sinner does evil a hundred times and may lengthen his life, still I know that it will be well for those who fear God, who fear Him openly.

nasb@Ecclesiastes:7:13 @But it will not be well for the evil man and he will not lengthen his days like a shadow, because he does not fear God.

nasb@Ecclesiastes:7:15 @So I commended pleasure, for there is nothing good for a man under the sun except to eat and to drink and to be merry, and this will stand by him in his toils throughout the days of his life which God has given him under the sun.

nasb@Ecclesiastes:7:16 @When I gave my heart to know wisdom and to see the task which has been done on the earth (even though one should never sleep day or night),

nasb@Ecclesiastes:7:17 @and I saw every work of God, I concluded that man cannot discover the work which has been done under the sun. Even though man should seek laboriously, he will not discover; and though the wise man should say, "I know," he cannot discover.

nasb@Ecclesiastes:8:1 @For I have taken all this to my heart and explain it that righteous men, wise men, and their deeds are in the hand of God. Man does not know whether it will be love or hatred; anything awaits him.

nasb@Ecclesiastes:8:4 @For whoever is joined with all the living, there is hope; surely a live dog is better than a dead lion.

nasb@Ecclesiastes:8:8 @Let your clothes be white all the time, and let not oil be lacking on your head.

nasb@Ecclesiastes:8:15 @But there was found in it a poor wise man and he delivered the city by his wisdom. Yet no one remembered that poor man.

nasb@Ecclesiastes:8:16 @So I said, " Wisdom is better than strength." But the wisdom of the poor man is despised and his words are not heeded.

nasb@Ecclesiastes:8:17 @The words of the wise heard in quietness are better than the shouting of a ruler among fools.

nasb@Ecclesiastes:8:18 @Wisdom is better than weapons of war, but one sinner destroys much good.

nasb@Ecclesiastes:9:4 @If the ruler's temper rises against you, do not abandon your position, because composure allays great offenses.

nasb@Ecclesiastes:9:9 @He who quarries stones may be hurt by them, and he who splits logs may be endangered by them.

nasb@Ecclesiastes:9:11 @If the serpent bites before being charmed, there is no profit for the charmer.

nasb@Ecclesiastes:9:13 @the beginning of his talking is folly and the end of it is wicked madness.

nasb@Ecclesiastes:9:20 @Furthermore, in your bedchamber do not curse a king, and in your sleeping rooms do not curse a rich man, for a bird of the heavens will carry the sound and the winged creature will make the matter known.

nasb@Ecclesiastes:10:6 @Sow your seed in the morning and do not be idle in the evening, for you do not know whether morning or evening sowing will succeed, or whether both of them alike will be good.

nasb@Ecclesiastes:10:8 @Indeed, if a man should live many years, let him rejoice in them all, and let him remember the days of darkness, for they will be many. Everything that is to come will be futility.

nasb@Ecclesiastes:10:9 @Rejoice, young man, during your childhood, and let your heart be pleasant during the days of young manhood. And follow the impulses of your heart and the desires of your eyes. Yet know that God will bring you to judgment for all these things.

nasb@Ecclesiastes:10:10 @So, remove grief and anger from your heart and put away pain from your body, because childhood and the prime of life are fleeting.

nasb@Ecclesiastes:11:1 @Remember also your Creator in the days of your youth, before the evil days come and the years draw near when you will say, "I have no delight in them";

nasb@Ecclesiastes:11:2 @before the sun and the light, the moon and the stars are darkened, and clouds return after the rain;

nasb@Ecclesiastes:11:3 @in the day that the watchmen of the house tremble, and mighty men stoop, the grinding ones stand idle because they are few, and those who look through windows grow dim;

nasb@Ecclesiastes:11:5 @Furthermore, men are afraid of a high place and of terrors on the road; the almond tree blossoms, the grasshopper drags himself along, and the caperberry is ineffective. For man goes to his eternal home while mourners go about in the street.

nasb@Ecclesiastes:11:6 @Remember Him before the silver cord is broken and the golden bowl is crushed, the pitcher by the well is shattered and the wheel at the cistern is crushed;

nasb@Ecclesiastes:11:9 @In addition to being a wise man, the Preacher also taught the people knowledge; and he pondered, searched out and arranged many proverbs.

nasb@Ecclesiastes:11:12 @But beyond this, my son, be warned- the writing of many books is endless, and excessive devotion to books is wearying to the body.

nasb@Ecclesiastes:11:13 @The conclusion, when all has been heard, is- fear God and keep His commandments, because this applies to every person.

nasb@Isaiah:1:21 @How the faithful city has become a harlot, She who was full of justice! Righteousness once lodged in her, But now murderers.

nasb@Isaiah:1:22 @Your silver has become dross, Your drink diluted with water.

nasb@Isaiah:1:23 @Your rulers are rebels And companions of thieves; Everyone loves a bribe And chases after rewards. They do not defend the orphan, Nor does the widow's plea come before them.

nasb@Isaiah:1:24 @Therefore the Lord GOD of hosts, The Mighty One of Israel, declares, "Ah, I will be relieved of My adversaries And avenge Myself on My foes.

nasb@Isaiah:1:26" @Then I will restore your judges as at the first, And your counselors as at the beginning; After that you will be called the city of righteousness, A faithful city."

nasb@Isaiah:1:27 @Zion will be redeemed with justice And her repentant ones with righteousness.

nasb@Isaiah:1:28 @But transgressors and sinners will be crushed together, And those who forsake the LORD will come to an end.

nasb@Isaiah:1:29 @Surely you will be ashamed of the oaks which you have desired, And you will be embarrassed at the gardens which you have chosen.

nasb@Isaiah:1:30 @For you will be like an oak whose leaf fades away Or as a garden that has no water.

nasb@Isaiah:1:31 @The strong man will become tinder, His work also a spark. Thus they shall both burn together And there will be none to quench them.

nasb@Isaiah:2:2 @Now it will come about that In the last days The mountain of the house of the LORD Will be established as the chief of the mountains, And will be raised above the hills; And all the nations will stream to it.

nasb@Isaiah:2:4 @And He will judge between the nations, And will render decisions for many peoples; And they will hammer their swords into plowshares and their spears into pruning hooks. Nation will not lift up sword against nation, And never again will they learn war.

nasb@Isaiah:2:6 @For You have abandoned Your people, the house of Jacob, Because they are filled with influences from the east, And they are soothsayers like the Philistines, And they strike bargains with the children of foreigners.

nasb@Isaiah:2:7 @Their land has also been filled with silver and gold And there is no end to their treasures; Their land has also been filled with horses And there is no end to their chariots.

nasb@Isaiah:2:8 @Their land has also been filled with idols; They worship the work of their hands, That which their fingers have made.

nasb@Isaiah:2:9 @So the common man has been humbled And the man of importance has been abased, But do not forgive them.

nasb@Isaiah:2:11 @The proud look of man will be abased And the loftiness of man will be humbled, And the LORD alone will be exalted in that day.

nasb@Isaiah:2:12 @For the LORD of hosts will have a day of reckoning Against everyone who is proud and lofty And against everyone who is lifted up, That he may be abased.

nasb@Isaiah:2:13 @And it will be against all the cedars of Lebanon that are lofty and lifted up, Against all the oaks of Bashan,

nasb@Isaiah:2:16 @Against all the ships of Tarshish And against all the beautiful craft.

nasb@Isaiah:2:17 @The pride of man will be humbled And the loftiness of men will be abased; And the LORD alone will be exalted in that day,

nasb@Isaiah:2:21 @In order to go into the caverns of the rocks and the clefts of the cliffs Before the terror of the LORD and the splendor of His majesty, When He arises to make the earth tremble.

nasb@Isaiah:2:22 @Stop regarding man, whose breath of life is in his nostrils; For why should he be esteemedNULL

nasb@Isaiah:3:1 @For behold, the Lord GOD of hosts is going to remove from Jerusalem and Judah Both supply and support, the whole supply of bread And the whole supply of water;

nasb@Isaiah:3:5 @And the people will be oppressed, Each one by another, and each one by his neighbor; The youth will storm against the elder And the inferior against the honorable.

nasb@Isaiah:3:6 @When a man lays hold of his brother in his father's house, saying, "You have a cloak, you shall be our ruler, And these ruins will be under your charge,"

nasb@Isaiah:3:7 @He will protest on that day, saying, "I will not be your healer, For in my house there is neither bread nor cloak; You should not appoint me ruler of the people."

nasb@Isaiah:3:11 @Woe to the wicked! It will go badly with him, For what he deserves will be done to him.

nasb@Isaiah:3:16 @Moreover, the LORD said, "Because the daughters of Zion are proud And walk with heads held high and seductive eyes, And go along with mincing steps And tinkle the bangles on their feet,

nasb@Isaiah:4:1 @For seven women will take hold of one man in that day, saying, "We will eat our own bread and wear our own clothes, only let us be called by your name; take away our reproach!"

nasb@Isaiah:4:2 @In that day the Branch of the LORD will be beautiful and glorious, and the fruit of the earth will be the pride and the adornment of the survivors of Israel.

nasb@Isaiah:4:3 @It will come about that he who is left in Zion and remains in Jerusalem will be called holy--everyone who is recorded for life in Jerusalem.

nasb@Isaiah:4:5 @then the LORD will create over the whole area of Mount Zion and over her assemblies a cloud by day, even smoke, and the brightness of a flaming fire by night; for over all the glory will be a canopy.

nasb@Isaiah:4:6 @There will be a shelter to give shade from the heat by day, and refuge and protection from the storm and the rain.

nasb@Isaiah:5:1 @Let me sing now for my well-beloved A song of my beloved concerning His vineyard. My well-beloved had a vineyard on a fertile hill.

nasb@Isaiah:5:5" @So now let Me tell you what I am going to do to My vineyard- I will remove its hedge and it will be consumed; I will break down its wall and it will become trampled ground.

nasb@Isaiah:5:6" @I will lay it waste; It will not be pruned or hoed, But briars and thorns will come up. I will also charge the clouds to rain no rain on it."

nasb@Isaiah:5:7 @For the vineyard of the LORD of hosts is the house of Israel And the men of Judah His delightful plant. Thus He looked for justice, but behold, bloodshed; For righteousness, but behold, a cry of distress.

nasb@Isaiah:5:9 @In my ears the LORD of hosts has sworn, "Surely, many houses shall become desolate, Even great and fine ones, without occupants.

nasb@Isaiah:5:15 @So the common man will be humbled and the man of importance abased, The eyes of the proud also will be abased.

nasb@Isaiah:5:16 @But the LORD of hosts will be exalted in judgment, And the holy God will show Himself holy in righteousness.

nasb@Isaiah:5:23 @Who justify the wicked for a bribe, And take away the rights of the ones who are in the right!

nasb@Isaiah:5:24 @Therefore, as a tongue of fire consumes stubble And dry grass collapses into the flame, So their root will become like rot and their blossom blow away as dust; For they have rejected the law of the LORD of hosts And despised the word of the Holy One of Israel.

nasb@Isaiah:5:26 @He will also lift up a standard to the distant nation, And will whistle for it from the ends of the earth; And behold, it will come with speed swiftly.

nasb@Isaiah:5:27 @No one in it is weary or stumbles, None slumbers or sleeps; Nor is the belt at its waist undone, Nor its sandal strap broken.

nasb@Isaiah:5:28 @Its arrows are sharp and all its bows are bent; The hoofs of its horses seem like flint and its chariot wheels like a whirlwind.

nasb@Isaiah:5:30 @And it will growl over it in that day like the roaring of the sea. If one looks to the land, behold, there is darkness and distress; Even the light is darkened by its clouds.

nasb@Isaiah:6:1 @In the year of King Uzziah's death I saw the Lord sitting on a throne, lofty and exalted, with the train of His robe filling the temple.

nasb@Isaiah:6:5 @Then I said, " Woe is me, for I am ruined! Because I am a man of unclean lips, And I live among a people of unclean lips; For my eyes have seen the King, the LORD of hosts."

nasb@Isaiah:6:7 @He touched my mouth with it and said, "Behold, this has touched your lips; and your iniquity is taken away and your sin is forgiven."

nasb@Isaiah:6:10" @ Render the hearts of this people insensitive, Their ears dull, And their eyes dim, Otherwise they might see with their eyes, Hear with their ears, Understand with their hearts, And return and be healed."

nasb@Isaiah:6:13" @Yet there will be a tenth portion in it, And it will again be subject to burning, Like a terebinth or an oak Whose stump remains when it is felled. The holy seed is its stump."

nasb@Isaiah:7:4 @and say to him, 'Take care and be calm, have no fear and do not be fainthearted because of these two stubs of smoldering firebrands, on account of the fierce anger of Rezin and Aram and the son of Remaliah.

nasb@Isaiah:7:5 @'Because Aram, with Ephraim and the son of Remaliah, has planned evil against you, saying,

nasb@Isaiah:7:6" @Let us go up against Judah and terrorize it, and make for ourselves a breach in its walls and set up the son of Tabeel as king in the midst of it,"

nasb@Isaiah:7:8" @For the head of Aram is Damascus and the head of Damascus is Rezin (now within another 65 years Ephraim will be shattered, so that it is no longer a people),

nasb@Isaiah:7:9 @and the head of Ephraim is Samaria and the head of Samaria is the son of Remaliah. If you will not believe, you surely shall not last."'"

nasb@Isaiah:7:14" @Therefore the Lord Himself will give you a sign- Behold, a virgin will be with child and bear a son, and she will call His name Immanuel.

nasb@Isaiah:7:16" @ For before the boy will know enough to refuse evil and choose good, the land whose two kings you dread will be forsaken.

nasb@Isaiah:7:18 @In that day the LORD will whistle for the fly that is in the remotest part of the rivers of Egypt and for the bee that is in the land of Assyria.

nasb@Isaiah:7:20 @In that day the Lord will shave with a razor, hired from regions beyond the Euphrates (that is, with the king of Assyria), the head and the hair of the legs; and it will also remove the beard.

nasb@Isaiah:7:22 @and because of the abundance of the milk produced he will eat curds, for everyone that is left within the land will eat curds and honey.

nasb@Isaiah:7:23 @And it will come about in that day, that every place where there used to be a thousand vines, valued at a thousand shekels of silver, will become briars and thorns.

nasb@Isaiah:7:24 @People will come there with bows and arrows because all the land will be briars and thorns.

nasb@Isaiah:7:25 @As for all the hills which used to be cultivated with the hoe, you will not go there for fear of briars and thorns; but they will become a place for pasturing oxen and for sheep to trample.

nasb@Isaiah:7:2" @And I will take to Myself faithful witnesses for testimony, Uriah the priest and Zechariah the son of Jeberechiah."

nasb@Isaiah:7:4 @for before the boy knows how to cry out 'My father' or 'My mother,' the wealth of Damascus and the spoil of Samaria will be carried away before the king of Assyria."

nasb@Isaiah:7:7" @Now therefore, behold, the Lord is about to bring on them the strong and abundant waters of the Euphrates, Even the king of Assyria and all his glory; And it will rise up over all its channels and go over all its banks.

nasb@Isaiah:7:9" @ Be broken, O peoples, and be shattered; And give ear, all remote places of the earth. Gird yourselves, yet be shattered; Gird yourselves, yet be shattered.

nasb@Isaiah:7:10" @ Devise a plan, but it will be thwarted; State a proposal, but it will not stand, For God is with us."

nasb@Isaiah:7:12" @You are not to say, 'It is a conspiracy!' In regard to all that this people call a conspiracy, And you are not to fear what they fear or be in dread of it.

nasb@Isaiah:7:13" @It is the LORD of hosts whom you should regard as holy. And He shall be your fear, And He shall be your dread.

nasb@Isaiah:7:14" @Then He shall become a sanctuary; But to both the houses of Israel, a stone to strike and a rock to stumble over, And a snare and a trap for the inhabitants of Jerusalem.

nasb@Isaiah:7:15" @Many will stumble over them, Then they will fall and be broken; They will even be snared and caught."

nasb@Isaiah:7:18 @Behold, I and the children whom the LORD has given me are for signs and wonders in Israel from the LORD of hosts, who dwells on Mount Zion.

nasb@Isaiah:7:19 @When they say to you, " Consult the mediums and the spiritists who whisper and mutter," should not a people consult their God? Should they consult the dead on behalf of the living?

nasb@Isaiah:7:20 @To the law and to the testimony! If they do not speak according to this word, it is because they have no dawn.

nasb@Isaiah:7:21 @They will pass through the land hard-pressed and famished, and it will turn out that when they are hungry, they will be enraged and curse their king and their God as they face upward.

nasb@Isaiah:7:22 @Then they will look to the earth, and behold, distress and darkness, the gloom of anguish; and they will be driven away into darkness.

nasb@Isaiah:8:1 @But there will be no more gloom for her who was in anguish; in earlier times He treated the land of Zebulun and the land of Naphtali with contempt, but later on He shall make it glorious, by the way of the sea, on the other side of Jordan, Galilee of the Gentiles.

nasb@Isaiah:8:3 @You shall multiply the nation, You shall increase their gladness; They will be glad in Your presence As with the gladness of harvest, As men rejoice when they divide the spoil.

nasb@Isaiah:8:5 @For every boot of the booted warrior in the battle tumult, And cloak rolled in blood, will be for burning, fuel for the fire.

nasb@Isaiah:8:6 @For a child will be born to us, a son will be given to us; And the government will rest on His shoulders; And His name will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Eternal Father, Prince of Peace.

nasb@Isaiah:8:7 @There will be no end to the increase of His government or of peace, On the throne of David and over his kingdom, To establish it and to uphold it with justice and righteousness From then on and forevermore. The zeal of the LORD of hosts will accomplish this.

nasb@Isaiah:8:10" @The bricks have fallen down, But we will rebuild with smooth stones; The sycamores have been cut down, But we will replace them with cedars."

nasb@Isaiah:9:2 @So as to deprive the needy of justice And rob the poor of My people of their rights, So that widows may be their spoil And that they may plunder the orphans.

nasb@Isaiah:9:12 @So it will be that when the Lord has completed all His work on Mount Zion and on Jerusalem, He will say, "I will punish the fruit of the arrogant heart of the king of Assyria and the pomp of his haughtiness."

nasb@Isaiah:9:14 @And my hand reached to the riches of the peoples like a nest, And as one gathers abandoned eggs, I gathered all the earth; And there was not one that flapped its wing or opened its beak or chirped."

nasb@Isaiah:9:15 @Is the axe to boast itself over the one who chops with it? Is the saw to exalt itself over the one who wields it? That would be like a club wielding those who lift it, Or like a rod lifting him who is not wood.

nasb@Isaiah:9:16 @Therefore the Lord, the GOD of hosts, will send a wasting disease among his stout warriors; And under his glory a fire will be kindled like a burning flame.

nasb@Isaiah:9:17 @And the light of Israel will become a fire and his Holy One a flame, And it will burn and devour his thorns and his briars in a single day.

nasb@Isaiah:9:18 @And He will destroy the glory of his forest and of his fruitful garden, both soul and body, And it will be as when a sick man wastes away.

nasb@Isaiah:9:19 @And the rest of the trees of his forest will be so small in number That a child could write them down.

nasb@Isaiah:9:22 @For though your people, O Israel, may be like the sand of the sea, Only a remnant within them will return; A destruction is determined, overflowing with righteousness.

nasb@Isaiah:9:25" @For in a very little while My indignation against you will be spent and My anger will be directed to their destruction."

nasb@Isaiah:9:26 @The LORD of hosts will arouse a scourge against him like the slaughter of Midian at the rock of Oreb; and His staff will be over the sea and He will lift it up the way He did in Egypt.

nasb@Isaiah:9:27 @So it will be in that day, that his burden will be removed from your shoulders and his yoke from your neck, and the yoke will be broken because of fatness.

nasb@Isaiah:9:29 @They have gone through the pass, saying, " Geba will be our lodging place." Ramah is terrified, and Gibeah of Saul has fled away.

nasb@Isaiah:9:33 @Behold, the Lord, the GOD of hosts, will lop off the boughs with a terrible crash; Those also who are tall in stature will be cut down And those who are lofty will be abased.

nasb@Isaiah:10:1 @Then a shoot will spring from the stem of Jesse, And a branch from his roots will bear fruit.

nasb@Isaiah:10:5 @Also righteousness will be the belt about His loins, And faithfulness the belt about His waist.

nasb@Isaiah:10:7 @Also the cow and the bear will graze, Their young will lie down together, And the lion will eat straw like the ox.

nasb@Isaiah:10:9 @They will not hurt or destroy in all My holy mountain, For the earth will be full of the knowledge of the LORD As the waters cover the sea.

nasb@Isaiah:10:10 @Then in that day The nations will resort to the root of Jesse, Who will stand as a signal for the peoples; And His resting place will be glorious.

nasb@Isaiah:10:13 @Then the jealousy of Ephraim will depart, And those who harass Judah will be cut off; Ephraim will not be jealous of Judah, And Judah will not harass Ephraim.

nasb@Isaiah:10:14 @They will swoop down on the slopes of the Philistines on the west; Together they will plunder the sons of the east; They will possess Edom and Moab, And the sons of Ammon will be subject to them.

nasb@Isaiah:10:16 @And there will be a highway from Assyria For the remnant of His people who will be left, Just as there was for Israel In the day that they came up out of the land of Egypt.

nasb@Isaiah:10:2" @Behold, God is my salvation, I will trust and not be afraid; For the LORD GOD is my strength and song, And He has become my salvation."

nasb@Isaiah:10:4 @And in that day you will say, " Give thanks to the LORD, call on His name. Make known His deeds among the peoples; Make them remember that His name is exalted."

nasb@Isaiah:10:5 @Praise the LORD in song, for He has done excellent things; Let this be known throughout the earth.

nasb@Isaiah:11:8 @They will be terrified, Pains and anguish will take hold of them; They will writhe like a woman in labor, They will look at one another in astonishment, Their faces aflame.

nasb@Isaiah:11:9 @Behold, the day of the LORD is coming, Cruel, with fury and burning anger, To make the land a desolation; And He will exterminate its sinners from it.

nasb@Isaiah:11:10 @For the stars of heaven and their constellations Will not flash forth their light; The sun will be dark when it rises And the moon will not shed its light.

nasb@Isaiah:11:13 @Therefore I will make the heavens tremble, And the earth will be shaken from its place At the fury of the LORD of hosts In the day of His burning anger.

nasb@Isaiah:11:14 @And it will be that like a hunted gazelle, Or like sheep with none to gather them, They will each turn to his own people, And each one flee to his own land.

nasb@Isaiah:11:15 @Anyone who is found will be thrust through, And anyone who is captured will fall by the sword.

nasb@Isaiah:11:16 @Their little ones also will be dashed to pieces Before their eyes; Their houses will be plundered And their wives ravished.

nasb@Isaiah:11:17 @Behold, I am going to stir up the Medes against them, Who will not value silver or take pleasure in gold.

nasb@Isaiah:11:19 @And Babylon, the beauty of kingdoms, the glory of the Chaldeans' pride, Will be as when God overthrew Sodom and Gomorrah.

nasb@Isaiah:11:20 @It will never be inhabited or lived in from generation to generation; Nor will the Arab pitch his tent there, Nor will shepherds make their flocks lie down there.

nasb@Isaiah:11:21 @But desert creatures will lie down there, And their houses will be full of owls; Ostriches also will live there, and shaggy goats will frolic there.

nasb@Isaiah:11:22 @Hyenas will howl in their fortified towers And jackals in their luxurious palaces. Her fateful time also will soon come And her days will not be prolonged.

nasb@Isaiah:12:3 @And it will be in the day when the LORD gives you rest from your pain and turmoil and harsh service in which you have been enslaved,

nasb@Isaiah:12:9" @ Sheol from beneath is excited over you to meet you when you come; It arouses for you the spirits of the dead, all the leaders of the earth; It raises all the kings of the nations from their thrones.

nasb@Isaiah:12:10" @ They will all respond and say to you, 'Even you have been made weak as we, You have become like us.

nasb@Isaiah:12:11 @'Your pomp and the music of your harps Have been brought down to Sheol; Maggots are spread out as your bed beneath you And worms are your covering.'

nasb@Isaiah:12:12" @How you have fallen from heaven, O star of the morning, son of the dawn! You have been cut down to the earth, You who have weakened the nations!

nasb@Isaiah:12:15" @Nevertheless you will be thrust down to Sheol, To the recesses of the pit.

nasb@Isaiah:12:19" @But you have been cast out of your tomb Like a rejected branch, Clothed with the slain who are pierced with a sword, Who go down to the stones of the pit Like a trampled corpse.

nasb@Isaiah:12:20" @You will not be united with them in burial, Because you have ruined your country, You have slain your people. May the offspring of evildoers not be mentioned forever.

nasb@Isaiah:12:21" @Prepare for his sons a place of slaughter Because of the iniquity of their fathers. They must not arise and take possession of the earth And fill the face of the world with cities."

nasb@Isaiah:12:25 @to break Assyria in My land, and I will trample him on My mountains. Then his yoke will be removed from them and his burden removed from their shoulder.

nasb@Isaiah:12:29" @Do not rejoice, O Philistia, all of you, Because the rod that struck you is broken; For from the serpent's root a viper will come out, And its fruit will be a flying serpent.

nasb@Isaiah:13:2 @They have gone up to the temple and to Dibon, even to the high places to weep. Moab wails over Nebo and Medeba; Everyone's head is bald and every beard is cut off.

nasb@Isaiah:13:8 @For the cry of distress has gone around the territory of Moab, Its wail goes as far as Eglaim and its wailing even to Beer-elim.

nasb@Isaiah:14:2 @Then, like fleeing birds or scattered nestlings, The daughters of Moab will be at the fords of the Arnon.

nasb@Isaiah:14:3" @Give us advice, make a decision; Cast your shadow like night at high noon; Hide the outcasts, do not betray the fugitive.

nasb@Isaiah:14:4" @Let the outcasts of Moab stay with you; Be a hiding place to them from the destroyer." For the extortioner has come to an end, destruction has ceased, Oppressors have completely disappeared from the land.

nasb@Isaiah:14:5 @A throne will even be established in lovingkindness, And a judge will sit on it in faithfulness in the tent of David; Moreover, he will seek justice And be prompt in righteousness.

nasb@Isaiah:14:10 @Gladness and joy are taken away from the fruitful field; In the vineyards also there will be no cries of joy or jubilant shouting, No treader treads out wine in the presses, For I have made the shouting to cease.

nasb@Isaiah:14:14 @But now the LORD speaks, saying, "Within three years, as a hired man would count them, the glory of Moab will be degraded along with all his great population, and his remnant will be very small and impotent."

nasb@Isaiah:14:17 @The oracle concerning Damascus. "Behold, Damascus is about to be removed from being a city And will become a fallen ruin.

nasb@Isaiah:14:2" @The cities of Aroer are forsaken; They will be for flocks to lie down in, And there will be no one to frighten them.

nasb@Isaiah:14:3" @The fortified city will disappear from Ephraim, And sovereignty from Damascus And the remnant of Aram; They will be like the glory of the sons of Israel," Declares the LORD of hosts.

nasb@Isaiah:14:4 @Now in that day the glory of Jacob will fade, And the fatness of his flesh will become lean.

nasb@Isaiah:14:5 @It will be even like the reaper gathering the standing grain, As his arm harvests the ears, Or it will be like one gleaning ears of grain In the valley of Rephaim.

nasb@Isaiah:14:6 @Yet gleanings will be left in it like the shaking of an olive tree, Two or three olives on the topmost bough, Four or five on the branches of a fruitful tree, Declares the LORD, the God of Israel.

nasb@Isaiah:14:9 @In that day their strong cities will be like forsaken places in the forest, Or like branches which they abandoned before the sons of Israel; And the land will be a desolation.

nasb@Isaiah:14:10 @For you have forgotten the God of your salvation And have not remembered the rock of your refuge. Therefore you plant delightful plants And set them with vine slips of a strange god.

nasb@Isaiah:14:11 @In the day that you plant it you carefully fence it in, And in the morning you bring your seed to blossom; But the harvest will be a heap In a day of sickliness and incurable pain.

nasb@Isaiah:14:13 @The nations rumble on like the rumbling of many waters, But He will rebuke them and they will flee far away, And be chased like chaff in the mountains before the wind, Or like whirling dust before a gale.

nasb@Isaiah:14:14 @At evening time, behold, there is terror! Before morning they are no more. Such will be the portion of those who plunder us And the lot of those who pillage us.

nasb@Isaiah:15:1 @Alas, oh land of whirring wings Which lies beyond the rivers of Cush,

nasb@Isaiah:15:5 @For before the harvest, as soon as the bud blossoms And the flower becomes a ripening grape, Then He will cut off the sprigs with pruning knives And remove and cut away the spreading branches.

nasb@Isaiah:15:6 @They will be left together for mountain birds of prey, And for the beasts of the earth; And the birds of prey will spend the summer feeding on them, And all the beasts of the earth will spend harvest time on them.

nasb@Isaiah:15:7 @At that time a gift of homage will be brought to the LORD of hosts From a people tall and smooth, Even from a people feared far and wide, A powerful and oppressive nation, Whose land the rivers divide-- To the place of the name of the LORD of hosts, even Mount Zion.

nasb@Isaiah:15:19 @The oracle concerning Egypt. Behold, the LORD is riding on a swift cloud and is about to come to Egypt; The idols of Egypt will tremble at His presence, And the heart of the Egyptians will melt within them.

nasb@Isaiah:15:3" @Then the spirit of the Egyptians will be demoralized within them; And I will confound their strategy, So that they will resort to idols and ghosts of the dead And to mediums and spiritists.

nasb@Isaiah:15:5 @The waters from the sea will dry up, And the river will be parched and dry.

nasb@Isaiah:15:7 @The bulrushes by the Nile, by the edge of the Nile And all the sown fields by the Nile Will become dry, be driven away, and be no more.

nasb@Isaiah:15:9 @Moreover, the manufacturers of linen made from combed flax And the weavers of white cloth will be utterly dejected.

nasb@Isaiah:15:10 @And the pillars of Egypt will be crushed; All the hired laborers will be grieved in soul.

nasb@Isaiah:15:11 @The princes of Zoan are mere fools; The advice of Pharaoh's wisest advisers has become stupid. How can you men say to Pharaoh, "I am a son of the wise, a son of ancient kings"?

nasb@Isaiah:15:13 @The princes of Zoan have acted foolishly, The princes of Memphis are deluded; Those who are the cornerstone of her tribes Have led Egypt astray.

nasb@Isaiah:15:15 @There will be no work for Egypt Which its head or tail, its palm branch or bulrush, may do.

nasb@Isaiah:15:17 @The land of Judah will become a terror to Egypt; everyone to whom it is mentioned will be in dread of it, because of the purpose of the LORD of hosts which He is purposing against them.

nasb@Isaiah:15:18 @In that day five cities in the land of Egypt will be speaking the language of Canaan and swearing allegiance to the LORD of hosts; one will be called the City of Destruction.

nasb@Isaiah:15:19 @In that day there will be an altar to the LORD in the midst of the land of Egypt, and a pillar to the LORD near its border.

nasb@Isaiah:15:20 @It will become a sign and a witness to the LORD of hosts in the land of Egypt; for they will cry to the LORD because of oppressors, and He will send them a Savior and a Champion, and He will deliver them.

nasb@Isaiah:15:23 @In that day there will be a highway from Egypt to Assyria, and the Assyrians will come into Egypt and the Egyptians into Assyria, and the Egyptians will worship with the Assyrians.

nasb@Isaiah:15:24 @In that day Israel will be the third party with Egypt and Assyria, a blessing in the midst of the earth,

nasb@Isaiah:17:2 @A harsh vision has been shown to me; The treacherous one still deals treacherously, and the destroyer still destroys. Go up, Elam, lay siege, Media; I have made an end of all the groaning she has caused.

nasb@Isaiah:17:3 @For this reason my loins are full of anguish; Pains have seized me like the pains of a woman in labor. I am so bewildered I cannot hear, so terrified I cannot see.

nasb@Isaiah:17:4 @My mind reels, horror overwhelms me; The twilight I longed for has been turned for me into trembling.

nasb@Isaiah:17:9" @Now behold, here comes a troop of riders, horsemen in pairs." And one said, " Fallen, fallen is Babylon; And all the images of her gods are shattered on the ground."

nasb@Isaiah:17:15 @For they have fled from the swords, From the drawn sword, and from the bent bow And from the press of battle.

nasb@Isaiah:17:17 @and the remainder of the number of bowmen, the mighty men of the sons of Kedar, will be few; for the LORD God of Israel has spoken."

nasb@Isaiah:18:3 @All your rulers have fled together, And have been captured without the bow; All of you who were found were taken captive together, Though they had fled far away.

nasb@Isaiah:18:11 @And you made a reservoir between the two walls For the waters of the old pool. But you did not depend on Him who made it, Nor did you take into consideration Him who planned it long ago.

nasb@Isaiah:18:14 @But the LORD of hosts revealed Himself to me, "Surely this iniquity shall not be forgiven you Until you die," says the Lord GOD of hosts.

nasb@Isaiah:19:8 @Who has planned this against Tyre, the bestower of crowns, Whose merchants were princes, whose traders were the honored of the earth?

nasb@Isaiah:20:3 @The earth will be completely laid waste and completely despoiled, for the LORD has spoken this word.

nasb@Isaiah:20:13 @For thus it will be in the midst of the earth among the peoples, As the shaking of an olive tree, As the gleanings when the grape harvest is over.

nasb@Isaiah:20:18 @Then it will be that he who flees the report of disaster will fall into the pit, And he who climbs out of the pit will be caught in the snare; For the windows above are opened, and the foundations of the earth shake.

nasb@Isaiah:21:21 @For behold, the LORD is about to come out from His place To punish the inhabitants of the earth for their iniquity; And the earth will reveal her bloodshed And will no longer cover her slain.

nasb@Isaiah:22:7 @Like the striking of Him who has struck them, has He struck them? Or like the slaughter of His slain, have they been slain?

nasb@Isaiah:22:9 @Therefore through this Jacob's iniquity will be forgiven; And this will be the full price of the pardoning of his sin- When he makes all the altar stones like pulverized chalk stones; When Asherim and incense altars will not stand.

nasb@Isaiah:22:11 @When its limbs are dry, they are broken off; Women come and make a fire with them, For they are not a people of discernment, Therefore their Maker will not have compassion on them. And their Creator will not be gracious to them.

nasb@Isaiah:22:12 @In that day the LORD will start His threshing from the flowing stream of the Euphrates to the brook of Egypt, and you will be gathered up one by one, O sons of Israel.

nasb@Isaiah:22:13 @It will come about also in that day that a great trumpet will be blown, and those who were perishing in the land of Assyria and who were scattered in the land of Egypt will come and worship the LORD in the holy mountain at Jerusalem.

nasb@Isaiah:23:1 @Woe to the proud crown of the drunkards of Ephraim, And to the fading flower of its glorious beauty, Which is at the head of the fertile valley Of those who are overcome with wine!

nasb@Isaiah:23:2 @Behold, the Lord has a strong and mighty agent; As a storm of hail, a tempest of destruction, Like a storm of mighty overflowing waters, He has cast it down to the earth with His hand.

nasb@Isaiah:23:4 @And the fading flower of its glorious beauty, Which is at the head of the fertile valley, Will be like the first-ripe fig prior to summer, Which one sees, And as soon as it is in his hand, He swallows it.

nasb@Isaiah:23:5 @In that day the LORD of hosts will become a beautiful crown And a glorious diadem to the remnant of His people;

nasb@Isaiah:23:13 @So the word of the LORD to them will be, "Order on order, order on order, Line on line, line on line, A little here, a little there," That they may go and stumble backward, be broken, snared and taken captive.

nasb@Isaiah:23:15 @Because you have said, "We have made a covenant with death, And with Sheol we have made a pact. The overwhelming scourge will not reach us when it passes by, For we have made falsehood our refuge and we have concealed ourselves with deception."

nasb@Isaiah:23:16 @Therefore thus says the Lord GOD, " Behold, I am laying in Zion a stone, a tested stone, A costly cornerstone for the foundation, firmly placed. He who believes in it will not be disturbed.

nasb@Isaiah:23:18" @Your covenant with death will be canceled, And your pact with Sheol will not stand; When the overwhelming scourge passes through, Then you become its trampling place.

nasb@Isaiah:23:20 @The bed is too short on which to stretch out, And the blanket is too small to wrap oneself in.

nasb@Isaiah:23:21 @For the LORD will rise up as at Mount Perazim, He will be stirred up as in the valley of Gibeon, To do His task, His unusual task, And to work His work, His extraordinary work.

nasb@Isaiah:23:22 @And now do not carry on as scoffers, Or your fetters will be made stronger; For I have heard from the Lord GOD of hosts Of decisive destruction on all the earth.

nasb@Isaiah:23:27 @For dill is not threshed with a threshing sledge, Nor is the cartwheel driven over cummin; But dill is beaten out with a rod, and cummin with a club.

nasb@Isaiah:24:2 @I will bring distress to Ariel, And she will be a city of lamenting and mourning; And she will be like an Ariel to me.

nasb@Isaiah:24:4 @Then you will be brought low; From the earth you will speak, And from the dust where you are prostrate Your words will come. Your voice will also be like that of a spirit from the ground, And your speech will whisper from the dust.

nasb@Isaiah:24:5 @But the multitude of your enemies will become like fine dust, And the multitude of the ruthless ones like the chaff which blows away; And it will happen instantly, suddenly.

nasb@Isaiah:24:6 @From the LORD of hosts you will be punished with thunder and earthquake and loud noise, With whirlwind and tempest and the flame of a consuming fire.

nasb@Isaiah:24:7 @And the multitude of all the nations who wage war against Ariel, Even all who wage war against her and her stronghold, and who distress her, Will be like a dream, a vision of the night.

nasb@Isaiah:24:8 @It will be as when a hungry man dreams-- And behold, he is eating; But when he awakens, his hunger is not satisfied, Or as when a thirsty man dreams-- And behold, he is drinking, But when he awakens, behold, he is faint And his thirst is not quenched. Thus the multitude of all the nations will be Who wage war against Mount Zion.

nasb@Isaiah:24:9 @Be delayed and wait, Blind yourselves and be blind; They become drunk, but not with wine, They stagger, but not with strong drink.

nasb@Isaiah:24:11 @The entire vision will be to you like the words of a sealed book, which when they give it to the one who is literate, saying, "Please read this," he will say, "I cannot, for it is sealed."

nasb@Isaiah:24:12 @Then the book will be given to the one who is illiterate, saying, "Please read this." And he will say, "I cannot read."

nasb@Isaiah:24:13 @Then the Lord said, "Because this people draw near with their words And honor Me with their lip service, But they remove their hearts far from Me, And their reverence for Me consists of tradition learned by rote,

nasb@Isaiah:24:14 @Therefore behold, I will once again deal marvelously with this people, wondrously marvelous; And the wisdom of their wise men will perish, And the discernment of their discerning men will be concealed."

nasb@Isaiah:25:9 @For this is a rebellious people, false sons, Sons who refuse to listen To the instruction of the LORD;

nasb@Isaiah:25:13 @Therefore this iniquity will be to you Like a breach about to fall, A bulge in a high wall, Whose collapse comes suddenly in an instant,

nasb@Isaiah:25:14 @Whose collapse is like the smashing of a potter's jar, So ruthlessly shattered That a sherd will not be found among its pieces To take fire from a hearth Or to scoop water from a cistern."

nasb@Isaiah:25:16 @And you said, "No, for we will flee on horses," Therefore you shall flee! "And we will ride on swift horses," Therefore those who pursue you shall be swift.

nasb@Isaiah:25:19 @O people in Zion, inhabitant in Jerusalem, you will weep no longer. He will surely be gracious to you at the sound of your cry; when He hears it, He will answer you.

nasb@Isaiah:25:20 @Although the Lord has given you bread of privation and water of oppression, He, your Teacher will no longer hide Himself, but your eyes will behold your Teacher.

nasb@Isaiah:25:22 @And you will defile your graven images overlaid with silver, and your molten images plated with gold. You will scatter them as an impure thing, and say to them, " Be gone!"

nasb@Isaiah:25:23 @Then He will give you rain for the seed which you will sow in the ground, and bread from the yield of the ground, and it will be rich and plenteous; on that day your livestock will graze in a roomy pasture.

nasb@Isaiah:25:24 @Also the oxen and the donkeys which work the ground will eat salted fodder, which has been winnowed with shovel and fork.

nasb@Isaiah:25:25 @On every lofty mountain and on every high hill there will be streams running with water on the day of the great slaughter, when the towers fall.

nasb@Isaiah:25:30 @And the LORD will cause His voice of authority to be heard, And the descending of His arm to be seen in fierce anger, And in the flame of a consuming fire In cloudburst, downpour and hailstones.

nasb@Isaiah:25:31 @For at the voice of the LORD Assyria will be terrified, When He strikes with the rod.

nasb@Isaiah:25:32 @And every blow of the rod of punishment, Which the LORD will lay on him, Will be with the music of tambourines and lyres; And in battles, brandishing weapons, He will fight them.

nasb@Isaiah:25:33 @For Topheth has long been ready, Indeed, it has been prepared for the king. He has made it deep and large, A pyre of fire with plenty of wood; The breath of the LORD, like a torrent of brimstone, sets it afire.

nasb@Isaiah:26:1 @Woe to those who go down to Egypt for help And rely on horses, And trust in chariots because they are many And in horsemen because they are very strong, But they do not look to the Holy One of Israel, nor seek the LORD!

nasb@Isaiah:26:4 @For thus says the LORD to me, "As the lion or the young lion growls over his prey, Against which a band of shepherds is called out, And he will not be terrified at their voice nor disturbed at their noise, So will the LORD of hosts come down to wage war on Mount Zion and on its hill."

nasb@Isaiah:26:8 @And the Assyrian will fall by a sword not of man, And a sword not of man will devour him. So he will not escape the sword, And his young men will become forced laborers.

nasb@Isaiah:27:12 @Beat your breasts for the pleasant fields, for the fruitful vine,

nasb@Isaiah:27:14 @Because the palace has been abandoned, the populated city forsaken. Hill and watch-tower have become caves forever, A delight for wild donkeys, a pasture for flocks;

nasb@Ezekiel:1:4 @As I looked, behold, a storm wind was coming from the north, a great cloud with fire flashing forth continually and a bright light around it, and in its midst something like glowing metal in the midst of the fire.

nasb@Ezekiel:1:5 @Within it there were figures resembling four living beings. And this was their appearance- they had human form.

nasb@Ezekiel:1:11 @Such were their faces. Their wings were spread out above; each had two touching another being, and two covering their bodies.

nasb@Ezekiel:1:13 @In the midst of the living beings there was something that looked like burning coals of fire, like torches darting back and forth among the living beings. The fire was bright, and lightning was flashing from the fire.

nasb@Ezekiel:1:14 @And the living beings ran to and fro like bolts of lightning.

nasb@Ezekiel:1:15 @Now as I looked at the living beings, behold, there was one wheel on the earth beside the living beings, for each of the four of them.

nasb@Ezekiel:1:16 @The appearance of the wheels and their workmanship was like sparkling beryl, and all four of them had the same form, their appearance and workmanship being as if one wheel were within another.

nasb@Ezekiel:1:19 @Whenever the living beings moved, the wheels moved with them. And whenever the living beings rose from the earth, the wheels rose also.

nasb@Ezekiel:1:20 @Wherever the spirit was about to go, they would go in that direction. And the wheels rose close beside them; for the spirit of the living beings was in the wheels.

nasb@Ezekiel:1:21 @Whenever those went, these went; and whenever those stood still, these stood still. And whenever those rose from the earth, the wheels rose close beside them; for the spirit of the living beings was in the wheels.

nasb@Ezekiel:1:22 @Now over the heads of the living beings there was something like an expanse, like the awesome gleam of crystal, spread out over their heads.

nasb@Ezekiel:2:3 @Then He said to me, "Son of man, I am sending you to the sons of Israel, to a rebellious people who have rebelled against Me; they and their fathers have transgressed against Me to this very day.

nasb@Ezekiel:2:5" @As for them, whether they listen or not--for they are a rebellious house--they will know that a prophet has been among them.

nasb@Ezekiel:2:6" @And you, son of man, neither fear them nor fear their words, though thistles and thorns are with you and you sit on scorpions; neither fear their words nor be dismayed at their presence, for they are a rebellious house.

nasb@Ezekiel:2:7" @But you shall speak My words to them whether they listen or not, for they are rebellious.

nasb@Ezekiel:2:8" @Now you, son of man, listen to what I am speaking to you; do not be rebellious like that rebellious house. Open your mouth and eat what I am giving you."

nasb@Ezekiel:2:9 @Then I looked, and behold, a hand was extended to me; and lo, a scroll was in it.

nasb@Ezekiel:2:10 @When He spread it out before me, it was written on the front and back, and written on it were lamentations, mourning and woe.

nasb@Ezekiel:3:5" @For you are not being sent to a people of unintelligible speech or difficult language, but to the house of Israel,

nasb@Ezekiel:3:7 @yet the house of Israel will not be willing to listen to you, since they are not willing to listen to Me. Surely the whole house of Israel is stubborn and obstinate.

nasb@Ezekiel:3:8" @Behold, I have made your face as hard as their faces and your forehead as hard as their foreheads.

nasb@Ezekiel:3:9" @Like emery harder than flint I have made your forehead. Do not be afraid of them or be dismayed before them, though they are a rebellious house."

nasb@Ezekiel:3:12 @Then the Spirit lifted me up, and I heard a great rumbling sound behind me, "Blessed be the glory of the LORD in His place."

nasb@Ezekiel:3:13 @And I heard the sound of the wings of the living beings touching one another and the sound of the wheels beside them, even a great rumbling sound.

nasb@Ezekiel:3:15 @Then I came to the exiles who lived beside the river Chebar at Tel-abib, and I sat there seven days where they were living, causing consternation among them.

nasb@Ezekiel:3:20" @Again, when a righteous man turns away from his righteousness and commits iniquity, and I place an obstacle before him, he will die; since you have not warned him, he shall die in his sin, and his righteous deeds which he has done shall not be remembered; but his blood I will require at your hand.

nasb@Ezekiel:3:21" @However, if you have warned the righteous man that the righteous should not sin and he does not sin, he shall surely live because he took warning; and you have delivered yourself."

nasb@Ezekiel:3:23 @So I got up and went out to the plain; and behold, the glory of the LORD was standing there, like the glory which I saw by the river Chebar, and I fell on my face.

nasb@Ezekiel:3:26" @Moreover, I will make your tongue stick to the roof of your mouth so that you will be mute and cannot be a man who rebukes them, for they are a rebellious house.

nasb@Ezekiel:3:27" @But when I speak to you, I will open your mouth and you will say to them, 'Thus says the Lord GOD.' He who hears, let him hear; and he who refuses, let him refuse; for they are a rebellious house.

nasb@Ezekiel:3:4" @Now you son of man, get yourself a brick, place it before you and inscribe a city on it, Jerusalem.

nasb@Ezekiel:3:3" @Then get yourself an iron plate and set it up as an iron wall between you and the city, and set your face toward it so that it is under siege, and besiege it. This is a sign to the house of Israel.

nasb@Ezekiel:3:4" @As for you, lie down on your left side and lay the iniquity of the house of Israel on it; you shall bear their iniquity for the number of days that you lie on it.

nasb@Ezekiel:3:5" @For I have assigned you a number of days corresponding to the years of their iniquity, three hundred and ninety days; thus you shall bear the iniquity of the house of Israel.

nasb@Ezekiel:3:6" @When you have completed these, you shall lie down a second time, but on your right side and bear the iniquity of the house of Judah; I have assigned it to you for forty days, a day for each year.

nasb@Ezekiel:3:8" @Now behold, I will put ropes on you so that you cannot turn from one side to the other until you have completed the days of your siege.

nasb@Ezekiel:3:9" @But as for you, take wheat, barley, beans, lentils, millet and spelt, put them in one vessel and make them into bread for yourself; you shall eat it according to the number of the days that you lie on your side, three hundred and ninety days.

nasb@Ezekiel:3:10" @Your food which you eat shall be twenty shekels a day by weight; you shall eat it from time to time.

nasb@Ezekiel:3:11" @The water you drink shall be the sixth part of a hin by measure; you shall drink it from time to time.

nasb@Ezekiel:3:14 @But I said, " Ah, Lord GOD! Behold, I have never been defiled; for from my youth until now I have never eaten what died of itself or was torn by beasts, nor has any unclean meat ever entered my mouth."

nasb@Ezekiel:3:16 @Moreover, He said to me, "Son of man, behold, I am going to break the staff of bread in Jerusalem, and they will eat bread by weight and with anxiety, and drink water by measure and in horror,

nasb@Ezekiel:3:17 @because bread and water will be scarce; and they will be appalled with one another and waste away in their iniquity.

nasb@Ezekiel:3:5" @As for you, son of man, take a sharp sword; take and use it as a barber's razor on your head and beard. Then take scales for weighing and divide the hair.

nasb@Ezekiel:3:2" @One third you shall burn in the fire at the center of the city, when the days of the siege are completed. Then you shall take one third and strike it with the sword all around the city, and one third you shall scatter to the wind; and I will unsheathe a sword behind them.

nasb@Ezekiel:3:3" @Take also a few in number from them and bind them in the edges of your robes.

nasb@Ezekiel:3:6 @'But she has rebelled against My ordinances more wickedly than the nations and against My statutes more than the lands which surround her; for they have rejected My ordinances and have not walked in My statutes.'

nasb@Ezekiel:3:7" @Therefore, thus says the Lord GOD, 'Because you have more turmoil than the nations which surround you and have not walked in My statutes, nor observed My ordinances, nor observed the ordinances of the nations which surround you,'

nasb@Ezekiel:3:8 @therefore, thus says the Lord GOD, 'Behold, I, even I, am against you, and I will execute judgments among you in the sight of the nations.

nasb@Ezekiel:3:9 @'And because of all your abominations, I will do among you what I have not done, and the like of which I will never do again.

nasb@Ezekiel:3:11 @'So as I live,' declares the Lord GOD, 'surely, because you have defiled My sanctuary with all your detestable idols and with all your abominations, therefore I will also withdraw, and My eye will have no pity and I will not spare.

nasb@Ezekiel:3:12 @'One third of you will die by plague or be consumed by famine among you, one third will fall by the sword around you, and one third I will scatter to every wind, and I will unsheathe a sword behind them.

nasb@Ezekiel:3:13 @'Thus My anger will be spent and I will satisfy My wrath on them, and I will be appeased; then they will know that I, the LORD, have spoken in My zeal when I have spent My wrath upon them.

nasb@Ezekiel:3:15 @'So it will be a reproach, a reviling, a warning and an object of horror to the nations who surround you when I execute judgments against you in anger, wrath and raging rebukes. I, the LORD, have spoken.

nasb@Ezekiel:3:17 @'Moreover, I will send on you famine and wild beasts, and they will bereave you of children; plague and bloodshed also will pass through you, and I will bring the sword on you. I, the LORD, have spoken.'"

nasb@Ezekiel:3:3 @and say, 'Mountains of Israel, listen to the word of the Lord GOD! Thus says the Lord GOD to the mountains, the hills, the ravines and the valleys- "Behold, I Myself am going to bring a sword on you, and I will destroy your high places.

nasb@Ezekiel:3:4" @So your altars will become desolate and your incense altars will be smashed; and I will make your slain fall in front of your idols.

nasb@Ezekiel:3:6" @In all your dwellings, cities will become waste and the high places will be desolate, that your altars may become waste and desolate, your idols may be broken and brought to an end, your incense altars may be cut down, and your works may be blotted out.

nasb@Ezekiel:3:9" @Then those of you who escape will remember Me among the nations to which they will be carried captive, how I have been hurt by their adulterous hearts which turned away from Me, and by their eyes which played the harlot after their idols; and they will loathe themselves in their own sight for the evils which they have committed, for all their abominations.

nasb@Ezekiel:3:11" @Thus says the Lord GOD, 'Clap your hand, stamp your foot and say, " Alas, because of all the evil abominations of the house of Israel, which will fall by sword, famine and plague!

nasb@Ezekiel:3:12" @He who is far off will die by the plague, and he who is near will fall by the sword, and he who remains and is besieged will die by the famine. Thus will I spend My wrath on them.

nasb@Ezekiel:3:4 @'For My eye will have no pity on you, nor will I spare you, but I will bring your ways upon you, and your abominations will be among you; then you will know that I am the LORD!'

nasb@Ezekiel:3:5" @Thus says the Lord GOD, 'A disaster, unique disaster, behold it is coming!

nasb@Ezekiel:3:13 @'Indeed, the seller will not regain what he sold as long as they both live; for the vision regarding all their multitude will not be averted, nor will any of them maintain his life by his iniquity.

nasb@Ezekiel:3:16 @'Even when their survivors escape, they will be on the mountains like doves of the valleys, all of them mourning, each over his own iniquity.

nasb@Ezekiel:3:17 @'All hands will hang limp and all knees will become like water.

nasb@Ezekiel:3:20 @'They transformed the beauty of His ornaments into pride, and they made the images of their abominations and their detestable things with it; therefore I will make it an abhorrent thing to them.

nasb@Ezekiel:3:26 @' Disaster will come upon disaster and rumor will be added to rumor; then they will seek a vision from a prophet, but the law will be lost from the priest and counsel from the elders.

nasb@Ezekiel:4:1 @It came about in the sixth year, on the fifth day of the sixth month, as I was sitting in my house with the elders of Judah sitting before me, that the hand of the Lord GOD fell on me there.

nasb@Ezekiel:4:2 @Then I looked, and behold, a likeness as the appearance of a man; from His loins and downward there was the appearance of fire, and from His loins and upward the appearance of brightness, like the appearance of glowing metal.

nasb@Ezekiel:4:3 @He stretched out the form of a hand and caught me by a lock of my head; and the Spirit lifted me up between earth and heaven and brought me in the visions of God to Jerusalem, to the entrance of the north gate of the inner court, where the seat of the idol of jealousy, which provokes to jealousy, was located.

nasb@Ezekiel:4:4 @And behold, the glory of the God of Israel was there, like the appearance which I saw in the plain.

nasb@Ezekiel:4:5 @Then He said to me, "Son of man, raise your eyes now toward the north." So I raised my eyes toward the north, and behold, to the north of the altar gate was this idol of jealousy at the entrance.

nasb@Ezekiel:4:6 @And He said to me, "Son of man, do you see what they are doing, the great abominations which the house of Israel are committing here, so that I would be far from My sanctuary? But yet you will see still greater abominations."

nasb@Ezekiel:4:7 @Then He brought me to the entrance of the court, and when I looked, behold, a hole in the wall.

nasb@Ezekiel:4:8 @He said to me, "Son of man, now dig through the wall." So I dug through the wall, and behold, an entrance.

nasb@Ezekiel:4:10 @So I entered and looked, and behold, every form of creeping things and beasts and detestable things, with all the idols of the house of Israel, were carved on the wall all around.

nasb@Ezekiel:4:14 @Then He brought me to the entrance of the gate of the LORD'S house which was toward the north; and behold, women were sitting there weeping for Tammuz.

nasb@Ezekiel:4:16 @Then He brought me into the inner court of the LORD'S house. And behold, at the entrance to the temple of the LORD, between the porch and the altar, were about twenty-five men with their backs to the temple of the LORD and their faces toward the east; and they were prostrating themselves eastward toward the sun.

nasb@Ezekiel:4:17 @He said to me, "Do you see this, son of man? Is it too light a thing for the house of Judah to commit the abominations which they have committed here, that they have filled the land with violence and provoked Me repeatedly? For behold, they are putting the twig to their nose.

nasb@Ezekiel:5:2 @Behold, six men came from the direction of the upper gate which faces north, each with his shattering weapon in his hand; and among them was a certain man clothed in linen with a writing case at his loins. And they went in and stood beside the bronze altar.

nasb@Ezekiel:5:3 @Then the glory of the God of Israel went up from the cherub on which it had been, to the threshold of the temple. And He called to the man clothed in linen at whose loins was the writing case.

nasb@Ezekiel:5:4 @The LORD said to him, "Go through the midst of the city, even through the midst of Jerusalem, and put a mark on the foreheads of the men who sigh and groan over all the abominations which are being committed in its midst."

nasb@Ezekiel:5:6" @Utterly slay old men, young men, maidens, little children, and women, but do not touch any man on whom is the mark; and you shall start from My sanctuary." So they started with the elders who were before the temple.

nasb@Ezekiel:5:11 @Then behold, the man clothed in linen at whose loins was the writing case reported, saying, "I have done just as You have commanded me."

nasb@Ezekiel:6:1 @Then I looked, and behold, in the expanse that was over the heads of the cherubim something like a sapphire stone, in appearance resembling a throne, appeared above them.

nasb@Ezekiel:6:2 @And He spoke to the man clothed in linen and said, "Enter between the whirling wheels under the cherubim and fill your hands with coals of fire from between the cherubim and scatter them over the city." And he entered in my sight.

nasb@Ezekiel:6:6 @It came about when He commanded the man clothed in linen, saying, "Take fire from between the whirling wheels, from between the cherubim," he entered and stood beside a wheel.

nasb@Ezekiel:6:7 @Then the cherub stretched out his hand from between the cherubim to the fire which was between the cherubim, took some and put it into the hands of the one clothed in linen, who took it and went out.

nasb@Ezekiel:6:9 @Then I looked, and behold, four wheels beside the cherubim, one wheel beside each cherub; and the appearance of the wheels was like the gleam of a Tarshish stone.

nasb@Ezekiel:6:12 @Their whole body, their backs, their hands, their wings and the wheels were full of eyes all around, the wheels belonging to all four of them.

nasb@Ezekiel:6:15 @Then the cherubim rose up. They are the living beings that I saw by the river Chebar.

nasb@Ezekiel:6:16 @Now when the cherubim moved, the wheels would go beside them; also when the cherubim lifted up their wings to rise from the ground, the wheels would not turn from beside them.

nasb@Ezekiel:6:17 @When the cherubim stood still, the wheels would stand still; and when they rose up, the wheels would rise with them, for the spirit of the living beings was in them.

nasb@Ezekiel:6:19 @When the cherubim departed, they lifted their wings and rose up from the earth in my sight with the wheels beside them; and they stood still at the entrance of the east gate of the LORD'S house, and the glory of the God of Israel hovered over them.

nasb@Ezekiel:6:20 @These are the living beings that I saw beneath the God of Israel by the river Chebar; so I knew that they were cherubim.

nasb@Ezekiel:6:21 @Each one had four faces and each one four wings, and beneath their wings was the form of human hands.

nasb@Ezekiel:7:1 @Moreover, the Spirit lifted me up and brought me to the east gate of the LORD'S house which faced eastward. And behold, there were twenty-five men at the entrance of the gate, and among them I saw Jaazaniah son of Azzur and Pelatiah son of Benaiah, leaders of the people.

nasb@Ezekiel:7:11" @This city will not be a pot for you, nor will you be flesh in the midst of it, but I will judge you to the border of Israel.

nasb@Ezekiel:7:13 @Now it came about as I prophesied, that Pelatiah son of Benaiah died. Then I fell on my face and cried out with a loud voice and said, " Alas, Lord GOD! Will You bring the remnant of Israel to a complete end?"

nasb@Ezekiel:7:15" @Son of man, your brothers, your relatives, your fellow exiles and the whole house of Israel, all of them, are those to whom the inhabitants of Jerusalem have said, 'Go far from the LORD; this land has been given us as a possession.'

nasb@Ezekiel:7:17" @Therefore say, 'Thus says the Lord GOD, "I will gather you from the peoples and assemble you out of the countries among which you have been scattered, and I will give you the land of Israel."'

nasb@Ezekiel:7:20 @that they may walk in My statutes and keep My ordinances and do them. Then they will be My people, and I shall be their God.

nasb@Ezekiel:7:22 @Then the cherubim lifted up their wings with the wheels beside them, and the glory of the God of Israel hovered over them.

nasb@Ezekiel:7:2" @Son of man, you live in the midst of the rebellious house, who have eyes to see but do not see, ears to hear but do not hear; for they are a rebellious house.

nasb@Ezekiel:7:3" @Therefore, son of man, prepare for yourself baggage for exile and go into exile by day in their sight; even go into exile from your place to another place in their sight. Perhaps they will understand though they are a rebellious house.

nasb@Ezekiel:7:7 @I did so, as I had been commanded. By day I brought out my baggage like the baggage of an exile. Then in the evening I dug through the wall with my hands; I went out in the dark and carried the baggage on my shoulder in their sight.

nasb@Ezekiel:7:9" @Son of man, has not the house of Israel, the rebellious house, said to you, ' What are you doing?'

nasb@Ezekiel:7:11" @Say, 'I am a sign to you. As I have done, so it will be done to them; they will go into exile, into captivity.'

nasb@Ezekiel:7:13" @I will also spread My net over him, and he will be caught in My snare. And I will bring him to Babylon in the land of the Chaldeans; yet he will not see it, though he will die there.

nasb@Ezekiel:7:19" @Then say to the people of the land, 'Thus says the Lord GOD concerning the inhabitants of Jerusalem in the land of Israel, "They will eat their bread with anxiety and drink their water with horror, because their land will be stripped of its fullness on account of the violence of all who live in it.

nasb@Ezekiel:7:20" @The inhabited cities will be laid waste and the land will be a desolation. So you will know that I am the LORD."'"

nasb@Ezekiel:7:24" @For there will no longer be any false vision or flattering divination within the house of Israel.

nasb@Ezekiel:7:25" @For I the LORD will speak, and whatever word I speak will be performed. It will no longer be delayed, for in your days, O rebellious house, I will speak the word and perform it," declares the Lord GOD.'"

nasb@Ezekiel:7:27" @Son of man, behold, the house of Israel is saying, 'The vision that he sees is for many years from now, and he prophesies of times far off.'

nasb@Ezekiel:7:28" @Therefore say to them, 'Thus says the Lord GOD, "None of My words will be delayed any longer. Whatever word I speak will be performed,"'" declares the Lord GOD.

nasb@Ezekiel:7:4" @O Israel, your prophets have been like foxes among ruins.

nasb@Ezekiel:7:8 @Therefore, thus says the Lord GOD, "Because you have spoken falsehood and seen a lie, therefore behold, I am against you," declares the Lord GOD.

nasb@Ezekiel:7:9" @So My hand will be against the prophets who see false visions and utter lying divinations. They will have no place in the council of My people, nor will they be written down in the register of the house of Israel, nor will they enter the land of Israel, that you may know that I am the Lord GOD.

nasb@Ezekiel:7:10" @It is definitely because they have misled My people by saying, ' Peace!' when there is no peace. And when anyone builds a wall, behold, they plaster it over with whitewash;

nasb@Ezekiel:7:12" @Behold, when the wall has fallen, will you not be asked, 'Where is the plaster with which you plastered it?'"

nasb@Ezekiel:7:13 @Therefore, thus says the Lord GOD, "I will make a violent wind break out in My wrath. There will also be in My anger a flooding rain and hailstones to consume it in wrath.

nasb@Ezekiel:7:14" @So I will tear down the wall which you plastered over with whitewash and bring it down to the ground, so that its foundation is laid bare; and when it falls, you will be consumed in its midst. And you will know that I am the LORD.

nasb@Ezekiel:7:20 @Therefore, thus says the Lord GOD, "Behold, I am against your magic bands by which you hunt lives there as birds and I will tear them from your arms; and I will let them go, even those lives whom you hunt as birds.

nasb@Ezekiel:7:21" @I will also tear off your veils and deliver My people from your hands, and they will no longer be in your hands to be hunted; and you will know that I am the LORD.

nasb@Ezekiel:7:22" @Because you disheartened the righteous with falsehood when I did not cause him grief, but have encouraged the wicked not to turn from his wicked way and preserve his life,

nasb@Ezekiel:8:1 @Then some elders of Israel came to me and sat down before me.

nasb@Ezekiel:8:3" @Son of man, these men have set up their idols in their hearts and have put right before their faces the stumbling block of their iniquity. Should I be consulted by them at all?

nasb@Ezekiel:8:4" @Therefore speak to them and tell them, 'Thus says the Lord GOD, "Any man of the house of Israel who sets up his idols in his heart, puts right before his face the stumbling block of his iniquity, and then comes to the prophet, I the LORD will be brought to give him an answer in the matter in view of the multitude of his idols,

nasb@Ezekiel:8:13" @Son of man, if a country sins against Me by committing unfaithfulness, and I stretch out My hand against it, destroy its supply of bread, send famine against it and cut off from it both man and beast,

nasb@Ezekiel:8:15" @If I were to cause wild beasts to pass through the land and they depopulated it, and it became desolate so that no one would pass through it because of the beasts,

nasb@Ezekiel:8:16 @though these three men were in its midst, as I live," declares the Lord GOD, "they could not deliver either their sons or their daughters. They alone would be delivered, but the country would be desolate.

nasb@Ezekiel:8:17" @Or if I should bring a sword on that country and say, 'Let the sword pass through the country and cut off man and beast from it,'

nasb@Ezekiel:8:18 @even though these three men were in its midst, as I live," declares the Lord GOD, "they could not deliver either their sons or their daughters, but they alone would be delivered.

nasb@Ezekiel:8:19" @Or if I should send a plague against that country and pour out My wrath in blood on it to cut off man and beast from it,

nasb@Ezekiel:8:21 @For thus says the Lord GOD, "How much more when I send My four severe judgments against Jerusalem- sword, famine, wild beasts and plague to cut off man and beast from it!

nasb@Ezekiel:8:22" @Yet, behold, survivors will be left in it who will be brought out, both sons and daughters. Behold, they are going to come forth to you and you will see their conduct and actions; then you will be comforted for the calamity which I have brought against Jerusalem for everything which I have brought upon it.

nasb@Ezekiel:8:2" @Son of man, how is the wood of the vine better than any wood of a branch which is among the trees of the forest?

nasb@Ezekiel:8:3" @Can wood be taken from it to make anything, or can men take a peg from it on which to hang any vessel?

nasb@Ezekiel:8:4" @If it has been put into the fire for fuel, and the fire has consumed both of its ends and its middle part has been charred, is it then useful for anything?

nasb@Ezekiel:8:5" @Behold, while it is intact, it is not made into anything. How much less, when the fire has consumed it and it is charred, can it still be made into anything!

nasb@Ezekiel:8:8 @'Thus I will make the land desolate, because they have acted unfaithfully,'" declares the Lord GOD.

nasb@Ezekiel:8:4" @As for your birth, on the day you were born your navel cord was not cut, nor were you washed with water for cleansing; you were not rubbed with salt or even wrapped in cloths.

nasb@Ezekiel:8:7" @I made you numerous like plants of the field. Then you grew up, became tall and reached the age for fine ornaments; your breasts were formed and your hair had grown. Yet you were naked and bare.

nasb@Ezekiel:8:8" @Then I passed by you and saw you, and behold, you were at the time for love; so I spread My skirt over you and covered your nakedness. I also swore to you and entered into a covenant with you so that you became Mine," declares the Lord GOD.

nasb@Ezekiel:8:12" @I also put a ring in your nostril, earrings in your ears and a beautiful crown on your head.

nasb@Ezekiel:8:13" @Thus you were adorned with gold and silver, and your dress was of fine linen, silk and embroidered cloth. You ate fine flour, honey and oil; so you were exceedingly beautiful and advanced to royalty.

nasb@Ezekiel:8:14" @Then your fame went forth among the nations on account of your beauty, for it was perfect because of My splendor which I bestowed on you," declares the Lord GOD.

nasb@Ezekiel:8:15" @But you trusted in your beauty and played the harlot because of your fame, and you poured out your harlotries on every passer-by who might be willing.

nasb@Ezekiel:8:17" @You also took your beautiful jewels made of My gold and of My silver, which I had given you, and made for yourself male images that you might play the harlot with them.

nasb@Ezekiel:8:18" @Then you took your embroidered cloth and covered them, and offered My oil and My incense before them.

nasb@Ezekiel:8:19" @Also My bread which I gave you, fine flour, oil and honey with which I fed you, you would offer before them for a soothing aroma; so it happened," declares the Lord GOD.

nasb@Ezekiel:8:20" @Moreover, you took your sons and daughters whom you had borne to Me and sacrificed them to idols to be devoured. Were your harlotries so small a matter?

nasb@Ezekiel:8:22" @Besides all your abominations and harlotries you did not remember the days of your youth, when you were naked and bare and squirming in your blood.

nasb@Ezekiel:8:25" @You built yourself a high place at the top of every street and made your beauty abominable, and you spread your legs to every passer-by to multiply your harlotry.

nasb@Ezekiel:8:27" @Behold now, I have stretched out My hand against you and diminished your rations. And I delivered you up to the desire of those who hate you, the daughters of the Philistines, who are ashamed of your lewd conduct.

nasb@Ezekiel:8:28" @Moreover, you played the harlot with the Assyrians because you were not satisfied; you played the harlot with them and still were not satisfied.

nasb@Ezekiel:8:31" @When you built your shrine at the beginning of every street and made your high place in every square, in disdaining money, you were not like a harlot.

nasb@Ezekiel:8:33" @Men give gifts to all harlots, but you give your gifts to all your lovers to bribe them to come to you from every direction for your harlotries.

nasb@Ezekiel:8:34" @Thus you are different from those women in your harlotries, in that no one plays the harlot as you do, because you give money and no money is given you; thus you are different."

nasb@Ezekiel:8:36 @Thus says the Lord GOD, "Because your lewdness was poured out and your nakedness uncovered through your harlotries with your lovers and with all your detestable idols, and because of the blood of your sons which you gave to idols,

nasb@Ezekiel:8:37 @therefore, behold, I will gather all your lovers with whom you took pleasure, even all those whom you loved and all those whom you hated. So I will gather them against you from every direction and expose your nakedness to them that they may see all your nakedness.

nasb@Ezekiel:8:42" @So I will calm My fury against you and My jealousy will depart from you, and I will be pacified and angry no more.

nasb@Ezekiel:8:43" @Because you have not remembered the days of your youth but have enraged Me by all these things, behold, I in turn will bring your conduct down on your own head," declares the Lord GOD, "so that you will not commit this lewdness on top of all your other abominations.

nasb@Ezekiel:8:44" @Behold, everyone who quotes proverbs will quote this proverb concerning you, saying, 'Like mother, like daughter.'

nasb@Ezekiel:8:49" @Behold, this was the guilt of your sister Sodom- she and her daughters had arrogance, abundant food and careless ease, but she did not help the poor and needy.

nasb@Ezekiel:8:50" @Thus they were haughty and committed abominations before Me. Therefore I removed them when I saw it.

nasb@Ezekiel:8:52" @Also bear your disgrace in that you have made judgment favorable for your sisters. Because of your sins in which you acted more abominably than they, they are more in the right than you. Yes, be also ashamed and bear your disgrace, in that you made your sisters appear righteous.

nasb@Ezekiel:8:54 @in order that you may bear your humiliation and feel ashamed for all that you have done when you become a consolation to them.

nasb@Ezekiel:8:57 @before your wickedness was uncovered, so now you have become the reproach of the daughters of Edom and of all who are around her, of the daughters of the Philistines--those surrounding you who despise you.

nasb@Ezekiel:8:60" @Nevertheless, I will remember My covenant with you in the days of your youth, and I will establish an everlasting covenant with you.

nasb@Ezekiel:8:61" @Then you will remember your ways and be ashamed when you receive your sisters, both your older and your younger; and I will give them to you as daughters, but not because of your covenant.

nasb@Ezekiel:8:63 @so that you may remember and be ashamed and never open your mouth anymore because of your humiliation, when I have forgiven you for all that you have done," the Lord GOD declares.

nasb@Ezekiel:8:5" @He also took some of the seed of the land and planted it in fertile soil. He placed it beside abundant waters; he set it like a willow.

nasb@Ezekiel:8:6" @Then it sprouted and became a low, spreading vine with its branches turned toward him, but its roots remained under it. So it became a vine and yielded shoots and sent out branches.

nasb@Ezekiel:8:7" @But there was another great eagle with great wings and much plumage; and behold, this vine bent its roots toward him and sent out its branches toward him from the beds where it was planted, that he might water it.

nasb@Ezekiel:8:8" @It was planted in good soil beside abundant waters, that it might yield branches and bear fruit and become a splendid vine."'

nasb@Ezekiel:8:9" @Say, 'Thus says the Lord GOD, "Will it thrive? Will he not pull up its roots and cut off its fruit, so that it withers--so that all its sprouting leaves wither? And neither by great strength nor by many people can it be raised from its roots again.

nasb@Ezekiel:8:12" @Say now to the rebellious house, 'Do you not know what these things mean?' Say, 'Behold, the king of Babylon came to Jerusalem, took its king and princes and brought them to him in Babylon.

nasb@Ezekiel:14:4 @The man said to me, " Son of man, see with your eyes, hear with your ears, and give attention to all that I am going to show you; for you have been brought here in order to show it to you. Declare to the house of Israel all that you see."

nasb@Ezekiel:14:5 @And behold, there was a wall on the outside of the temple all around, and in the man's hand was a measuring rod of six cubits, each of which was a cubit and a handbreadth. So he measured the thickness of the wall, one rod; and the height, one rod.

nasb@Ezekiel:14:7 @The guardroom was one rod long and one rod wide; and there were five cubits between the guardrooms. And the threshold of the gate by the porch of the gate facing inward was one rod.

nasb@Ezekiel:14:17 @Then he brought me into the outer court, and behold, there were chambers and a pavement made for the court all around; thirty chambers faced the pavement.

nasb@Ezekiel:14:24 @Then he led me toward the south, and behold, there was a gate toward the south; and he measured its side pillars and its porches according to those same measurements.

nasb@Ezekiel:14:38 @A chamber with its doorway was by the side pillars at the gates; there they rinse the burnt offering.

nasb@Ezekiel:14:44 @From the outside to the inner gate were chambers for the singers in the inner court, one of which was at the side of the north gate, with its front toward the south, and one at the side of the south gate facing toward the north.

nasb@Ezekiel:14:45 @He said to me, "This is the chamber which faces toward the south, intended for the priests who keep charge of the temple;

nasb@Ezekiel:14:46 @but the chamber which faces toward the north is for the priests who keep charge of the altar. These are the sons of Zadok, who from the sons of Levi come near to the LORD to minister to Him."

nasb@Ezekiel:15:4 @He measured its length, twenty cubits, and the width, twenty cubits, before the nave; and he said to me, "This is the most holy place."

nasb@Ezekiel:15:5 @Then he measured the wall of the temple, six cubits; and the width of the side chambers, four cubits, all around about the house on every side.

nasb@Ezekiel:15:6 @The side chambers were in three stories, one above another, and thirty in each story; and the side chambers extended to the wall which stood on their inward side all around, that they might be fastened, and not be fastened into the wall of the temple itself.

nasb@Ezekiel:15:7 @The side chambers surrounding the temple were wider at each successive story. Because the structure surrounding the temple went upward by stages on all sides of the temple, therefore the width of the temple increased as it went higher; and thus one went up from the lowest story to the highest by way of the second story.

nasb@Ezekiel:15:8 @I saw also that the house had a raised platform all around; the foundations of the side chambers were a full rod of six long cubits in height.

nasb@Ezekiel:15:9 @The thickness of the outer wall of the side chambers was five cubits. But the free space between the side chambers belonging to the temple

nasb@Ezekiel:15:10 @and the outer chambers was twenty cubits in width all around the temple on every side.

nasb@Ezekiel:15:11 @The doorways of the side chambers toward the free space consisted of one doorway toward the north and another doorway toward the south; and the width of the free space was five cubits all around.

nasb@Ezekiel:15:15 @He measured the length of the building along the front of the separate area behind it, with a gallery on each side, a hundred cubits; he also measured the inner nave and the porches of the court.

nasb@Ezekiel:15:22 @The altar was of wood, three cubits high and its length two cubits; its corners, its base and its sides were of wood. And he said to me, "This is the table that is before the LORD."

nasb@Ezekiel:15:26 @There were latticed windows and palm trees on one side and on the other, on the sides of the porch; thus were the side chambers of the house and the thresholds.

nasb@Ezekiel:16:3 @Opposite the twenty cubits which belonged to the inner court, and opposite the pavement which belonged to the outer court, was gallery corresponding to gallery in three stories.

nasb@Ezekiel:16:4 @Before the chambers was an inner walk ten cubits wide, a way of one hundred cubits; and their openings were on the north.

nasb@Ezekiel:16:5 @Now the upper chambers were smaller because the galleries took more space away from them than from the lower and middle ones in the building.

nasb@Ezekiel:16:6 @For they were in three stories and had no pillars like the pillars of the courts; therefore the upper chambers were set back from the ground upward, more than the lower and middle ones.

nasb@Ezekiel:16:7 @As for the outer wall by the side of the chambers, toward the outer court facing the chambers, its length was fifty cubits.

nasb@Ezekiel:16:8 @For the length of the chambers which were in the outer court was fifty cubits; and behold, the length of those facing the temple was a hundred cubits.

nasb@Ezekiel:16:12 @Corresponding to the openings of the chambers which were toward the south was an opening at the head of the way, the way in front of the wall toward the east, as one enters them.

nasb@Ezekiel:16:13 @Then he said to me, "The north chambers and the south chambers, which are opposite the separate area, they are the holy chambers where the priests who are near to the LORD shall eat the most holy things.

nasb@Ezekiel:19:7 @Now when I had returned, behold, on the bank of the river there were very many trees on the one side and on the other.

nasb@Ezekiel:19:8 @Then he said to me, "These waters go out toward the eastern region and go down into the Arabah; then they go toward the sea, being made to flow into the sea, and the waters of the sea become fresh.

nasb@Ezekiel:19:9" @It will come about that every living creature which swarms in every place where the river goes, will live. And there will be very many fish, for these waters go there and the others become fresh; so everything will live where the river goes.

nasb@Ezekiel:19:10" @And it will come about that fishermen will stand beside it; from Engedi to Eneglaim there will be a place for the spreading of nets. Their fish will be according to their kinds, like the fish of the Great Sea, very many.

nasb@Ezekiel:19:11" @But its swamps and marshes will not become fresh; they will be left for salt.

nasb@Ezekiel:19:12" @ By the river on its bank, on one side and on the other, will grow all kinds of trees for food. Their leaves will not wither and their fruit will not fail. They will bear every month because their water flows from the sanctuary, and their fruit will be for food and their leaves for healing."

nasb@Ezekiel:19:13 @Thus says the Lord GOD, "This shall be the boundary by which you shall divide the land for an inheritance among the twelve tribes of Israel; Joseph shall have two portions.

nasb@Ezekiel:19:15" @This shall be the boundary of the land- on the north side, from the Great Sea by the way of Hethlon, to the entrance of Zedad;

nasb@Ezekiel:19:16 @Hamath, Berothah, Sibraim, which is between the border of Damascus and the border of Hamath; Hazer-hatticon, which is by the border of Hauran.

nasb@Ezekiel:19:18" @The east side, from between Hauran, Damascus, Gilead and the land of Israel, shall be the Jordan; from the north border to the eastern sea you shall measure. This is the east side.

nasb@Ezekiel:19:20" @The west side shall be the Great Sea, from the south border to a point opposite Lebo-hamath. This is the west side.

nasb@Ezekiel:19:21" @So you shall divide this land among yourselves according to the tribes of Israel.

nasb@Ezekiel:19:22" @You shall divide it by lot for an inheritance among yourselves and among the aliens who stay in your midst, who bring forth sons in your midst. And they shall be to you as the native-born among the sons of Israel; they shall be allotted an inheritance with you among the tribes of Israel.

nasb@Ezekiel:19:23" @And in the tribe with which the alien stays, there you shall give him his inheritance," declares the Lord GOD.

nasb@Ezekiel:19:48" @Now these are the names of the tribes- from the northern extremity, beside the way of Hethlon to Lebo-hamath, as far as Hazar-enan at the border of Damascus, toward the north beside Hamath, running from east to west, Dan, one portion.

nasb@Ezekiel:19:20" @The whole allotment shall be 25,000 by 25,000 cubits; you shall set apart the holy allotment, a square, with the property of the city.

nasb@Daniel:1:1 @In the third year of the reign of Jehoiakim king of Judah, Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came to Jerusalem and besieged it.

nasb@Daniel:1:5 @The king appointed for them a daily ration from the king's choice food and from the wine which he drank, and appointed that they should be educated three years, at the end of which they were to enter the king's personal service.

nasb@Daniel:1:7 @Then the commander of the officials assigned new names to them; and to Daniel he assigned the name Belteshazzar, to Hananiah Shadrach, to Mishael Meshach and to Azariah Abed-nego.

nasb@Daniel:1:12" @Please test your servants for ten days, and let us be given some vegetables to eat and water to drink.

nasb@Daniel:1:13" @Then let our appearance be observed in your presence and the appearance of the youths who are eating the king's choice food; and deal with your servants according to what you see."

nasb@Daniel:1:15 @At the end of ten days their appearance seemed better and they were fatter than all the youths who had been eating the king's choice food.

nasb@Daniel:1:18 @Then at the end of the days which the king had specified for presenting them, the commander of the officials presented them before Nebuchadnezzar.

nasb@Daniel:1:20 @As for every matter of wisdom and understanding about which the king consulted them, he found them ten times better than all the magicians and conjurers who were in all his realm.

nasb@Daniel:2:2 @Then the king gave orders to call in the magicians, the conjurers, the sorcerers and the Chaldeans to tell the king his dreams. So they came in and stood before the king.

nasb@Daniel:2:5 @The king replied to the Chaldeans, "The command from me is firm- if you do not make known to me the dream and its interpretation, you will be torn limb from limb and your houses will be made a rubbish heap.

nasb@Daniel:2:9 @that if you do not make the dream known to me, there is only one decree for you. For you have agreed together to speak lying and corrupt words before me until the situation is changed; therefore tell me the dream, that I may know that you can declare to me its interpretation."

nasb@Daniel:2:12 @Because of this the king became indignant and very furious and gave orders to destroy all the wise men of Babylon.

nasb@Daniel:2:13 @So the decree went forth that the wise men should be slain; and they looked for Daniel and his friends to kill them.

nasb@Daniel:2:18 @so that they might request compassion from the God of heaven concerning this mystery, so that Daniel and his friends would not be destroyed with the rest of the wise men of Babylon.

nasb@Daniel:2:20 @Daniel said, "Let the name of God be blessed forever and ever, For wisdom and power belong to Him.

nasb@Daniel:2:26 @The king said to Daniel, whose name was Belteshazzar, "Are you able to make known to me the dream which I have seen and its interpretation?"

nasb@Daniel:2:27 @Daniel answered before the king and said, "As for the mystery about which the king has inquired, neither wise men, conjurers, magicians nor diviners are able to declare it to the king.

nasb@Daniel:2:28" @However, there is a God in heaven who reveals mysteries, and He has made known to King Nebuchadnezzar what will take place in the latter days. This was your dream and the visions in your mind while on your bed.

nasb@Daniel:2:29" @As for you, O king, while on your bed your thoughts turned to what would take place in the future; and He who reveals mysteries has made known to you what will take place.

nasb@Daniel:2:30" @But as for me, this mystery has not been revealed to me for any wisdom residing in me more than in any other living man, but for the purpose of making the interpretation known to the king, and that you may understand the thoughts of your mind.

nasb@Daniel:2:31" @You, O king, were looking and behold, there was a single great statue; that statue, which was large and of extraordinary splendor, was standing in front of you, and its appearance was awesome.

nasb@Daniel:2:32" @The head of that statue was made of fine gold, its breast and its arms of silver, its belly and its thighs of bronze,

nasb@Daniel:2:35" @Then the iron, the clay, the bronze, the silver and the gold were crushed all at the same time and became like chaff from the summer threshing floors; and the wind carried them away so that not a trace of them was found. But the stone that struck the statue became a great mountain and filled the whole earth.

nasb@Daniel:2:36" @This was the dream; now we will tell its interpretation before the king.

nasb@Daniel:2:38 @and wherever the sons of men dwell, or the beasts of the field, or the birds of the sky, He has given them into your hand and has caused you to rule over them all. You are the head of gold.

nasb@Daniel:2:40" @Then there will be a fourth kingdom as strong as iron; inasmuch as iron crushes and shatters all things, so, like iron that breaks in pieces, it will crush and break all these in pieces.

nasb@Daniel:2:41" @In that you saw the feet and toes, partly of potter's clay and partly of iron, it will be a divided kingdom; but it will have in it the toughness of iron, inasmuch as you saw the iron mixed with common clay.

nasb@Daniel:2:42" @As the toes of the feet were partly of iron and partly of pottery, so some of the kingdom will be strong and part of it will be brittle.

nasb@Daniel:2:44" @In the days of those kings the God of heaven will set up a kingdom which will never be destroyed, and that kingdom will not be left for another people; it will crush and put an end to all these kingdoms, but it will itself endure forever.

nasb@Daniel:2:47 @The king answered Daniel and said, "Surely your God is a God of gods and a Lord of kings and a revealer of mysteries, since you have been able to reveal this mystery."

nasb@Daniel:2:49 @And Daniel made request of the king, and he appointed Shadrach, Meshach and Abed-nego over the administration of the province of Babylon, while Daniel was at the king's court.

nasb@Daniel:3:3 @Then the satraps, the prefects and the governors, the counselors, the treasurers, the judges, the magistrates and all the rulers of the provinces were assembled for the dedication of the image that Nebuchadnezzar the king had set up; and they stood before the image that Nebuchadnezzar had set up.

nasb@Daniel:3:6" @But whoever does not fall down and worship shall immediately be cast into the midst of a furnace of blazing fire."

nasb@Daniel:3:11" @But whoever does not fall down and worship shall be cast into the midst of a furnace of blazing fire.

nasb@Daniel:3:12" @There are certain Jews whom you have appointed over the administration of the province of Babylon, namely Shadrach, Meshach and Abed-nego. These men, O king, have disregarded you; they do not serve your gods or worship the golden image which you have set up."

nasb@Daniel:3:13 @Then Nebuchadnezzar in rage and anger gave orders to bring Shadrach, Meshach and Abed-nego; then these men were brought before the king.

nasb@Daniel:3:14 @Nebuchadnezzar responded and said to them, "Is it true, Shadrach, Meshach and Abed-nego, that you do not serve my gods or worship the golden image that I have set up?

nasb@Daniel:3:15" @Now if you are ready, at the moment you hear the sound of the horn, flute, lyre, trigon, psaltery and bagpipe and all kinds of music, to fall down and worship the image that I have made, very well. But if you do not worship, you will immediately be cast into the midst of a furnace of blazing fire; and what god is there who can deliver you out of my hands?"

nasb@Daniel:3:16 @Shadrach, Meshach and Abed-nego replied to the king, "O Nebuchadnezzar, we do not need to give you an answer concerning this matter.

nasb@Daniel:3:17" @If it be so, our God whom we serve is able to deliver us from the furnace of blazing fire; and He will deliver us out of your hand, O king.

nasb@Daniel:3:18" @ But even if He does not, let it be known to you, O king, that we are not going to serve your gods or worship the golden image that you have set up."

nasb@Daniel:3:19 @Then Nebuchadnezzar was filled with wrath, and his facial expression was altered toward Shadrach, Meshach and Abed-nego. He answered by giving orders to heat the furnace seven times more than it was usually heated.

nasb@Daniel:3:20 @He commanded certain valiant warriors who were in his army to tie up Shadrach, Meshach and Abed-nego in order to cast them into the furnace of blazing fire.

nasb@Daniel:3:22 @For this reason, because the king's command was urgent and the furnace had been made extremely hot, the flame of the fire slew those men who carried up Shadrach, Meshach and Abed-nego.

nasb@Daniel:3:23 @But these three men, Shadrach, Meshach and Abed-nego, fell into the midst of the furnace of blazing fire still tied up.

nasb@Daniel:3:26 @Then Nebuchadnezzar came near to the door of the furnace of blazing fire; he responded and said, "Shadrach, Meshach and Abed-nego, come out, you servants of the Most High God, and come here!" Then Shadrach, Meshach and Abed-nego came out of the midst of the fire.

nasb@Daniel:3:28 @Nebuchadnezzar responded and said, "Blessed be the God of Shadrach, Meshach and Abed-nego, who has sent His angel and delivered His servants who put their trust in Him, violating the king's command, and yielded up their bodies so as not to serve or worship any god except their own God.

nasb@Daniel:3:29" @Therefore I make a decree that any people, nation or tongue that speaks anything offensive against the God of Shadrach, Meshach and Abed-nego shall be torn limb from limb and their houses reduced to a rubbish heap, inasmuch as there is no other god who is able to deliver in this way."

nasb@Daniel:3:30 @Then the king caused Shadrach, Meshach and Abed-nego to prosper in the province of Babylon.

nasb@Daniel:3:5" @I saw a dream and it made me fearful; and these fantasies as I lay on my bed and the visions in my mind kept alarming me.

nasb@Daniel:3:8" @But finally Daniel came in before me, whose name is Belteshazzar according to the name of my god, and in whom is a spirit of the holy gods; and I related the dream to him, saying,

nasb@Daniel:3:9 @'O Belteshazzar, chief of the magicians, since I know that a spirit of the holy gods is in you and no mystery baffles you, tell me the visions of my dream which I have seen, along with its interpretation.

nasb@Daniel:3:10 @'Now these were the visions in my mind as I lay on my bed- I was looking, and behold, there was a tree in the midst of the earth and its height was great.

nasb@Daniel:3:11 @'The tree grew large and became strong And its height reached to the sky, And it was visible to the end of the whole earth.

nasb@Daniel:3:12 @'Its foliage was 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 sky dwelt in its branches, And all living creatures fed themselves from it.

nasb@Daniel:3:13 @'I was looking in the visions in my mind as I lay on my bed, and behold, an angelic watcher, a holy one, descended from heaven.

nasb@Daniel:3:14 @'He shouted out and spoke as follows- " Chop down the tree and cut off its branches, Strip off its foliage and scatter its fruit; Let the beasts flee from under it And the birds from its branches.

nasb@Daniel:3:15" @Yet leave the stump with its roots in the ground, But with a band of iron and bronze around it In the new grass of the field; And let him be drenched with the dew of heaven, And let him share with the beasts in the grass of the earth.

nasb@Daniel:3:16" @Let his mind be changed from that of a man And let a beast's mind be given to him, And let seven periods of time pass over him.

nasb@Daniel:3:17" @This sentence is by the decree of the angelic watchers And the decision is a command of the holy ones, In order that the living may know That the Most High is ruler over the realm of mankind, And bestows it on whom He wishes And sets over it the lowliest of men."

nasb@Daniel:3:18 @'This is the dream which I, King Nebuchadnezzar, have seen. Now you, Belteshazzar, tell me its interpretation, inasmuch as none of the wise men of my kingdom is able to make known to me the interpretation; but you are able, for a spirit of the holy gods is in you.'

nasb@Daniel:3:19" @Then Daniel, whose name is Belteshazzar, was appalled for a while as his thoughts alarmed him. The king responded and said, 'Belteshazzar, do not let the dream or its interpretation alarm you.' Belteshazzar replied, ' My lord, if only the dream applied to those who hate you and its interpretation to your adversaries!

nasb@Daniel:3:20 @'The tree that you saw, which became large and grew strong, whose height reached to the sky and was visible to all the earth

nasb@Daniel:3:22 @it is you, O king; for you have become great and grown strong, and your majesty has become great and reached to the sky and your dominion to the end of the earth.

nasb@Daniel:3:23 @'In that the king saw an angelic watcher, a holy one, descending from heaven and saying, " Chop down the tree and destroy it; yet leave the stump with its roots in the ground, but with a band of iron and bronze around it in the new grass of the field, and let him be drenched with the dew of heaven, and let him share with the beasts of the field until seven periods of time pass over him,"

nasb@Daniel:3:26 @'And in that it was commanded to leave the stump with the roots of the tree, your kingdom will be assured to you after you recognize that it is Heaven that rules.

nasb@Daniel:3:27 @'Therefore, O king, may my advice be pleasing to you- break away now from your sins by doing righteousness and from your iniquities by showing mercy to the poor, in case there may be a prolonging of your prosperity.'

nasb@Daniel:3:31" @While the word was in the king's mouth, a voice came from heaven, saying, 'King Nebuchadnezzar, to you it is declared- sovereignty has been removed from you,

nasb@Daniel:3:33" @Immediately the word concerning Nebuchadnezzar was fulfilled; and he was driven away from mankind and began eating grass like cattle, and his body was drenched with the dew of heaven until his hair had grown like eagles' feathers and his nails like birds' claws.

nasb@Daniel:3:36" @At that time my reason returned to me. And my majesty and splendor were restored to me for the glory of my kingdom, and my counselors and my nobles began seeking me out; so I was reestablished in my sovereignty, and surpassing greatness was added to me.

nasb@Daniel:4:1 @Belshazzar the king held a great feast for a thousand of his nobles, and he was drinking wine in the presence of the thousand.

nasb@Daniel:4:2 @When Belshazzar tasted the wine, he gave orders to bring the gold and silver vessels which Nebuchadnezzar his father had taken out of the temple which was in Jerusalem, so that the king and his nobles, his wives and his concubines might drink from them.

nasb@Daniel:4:3 @Then they brought the gold vessels that had been taken out of the temple, the house of God which was in Jerusalem; and the king and his nobles, his wives and his concubines drank from them.

nasb@Daniel:4:5 @Suddenly the fingers of a man's hand emerged and began writing opposite the lampstand on the plaster of the wall of the king's palace, and the king saw the back of the hand that did the writing.

nasb@Daniel:4:6 @Then the king's face grew pale and his thoughts alarmed him, and his hip joints went slack and his knees began knocking together.

nasb@Daniel:4:7 @The king called aloud to bring in the conjurers, the Chaldeans and the diviners. The king spoke and said to the wise men of Babylon, "Any man who can read this inscription and explain its interpretation to me shall be clothed with purple and have a necklace of gold around his neck, and have authority as third ruler in the kingdom."

nasb@Daniel:4:9 @Then King Belshazzar was greatly alarmed, his face grew even paler, and his nobles were perplexed.

nasb@Daniel:4:10 @The queen entered the banquet hall because of the words of the king and his nobles; the queen spoke and said, " O king, live forever! Do not let your thoughts alarm you or your face be pale.

nasb@Daniel:4:12" @This was because an extraordinary spirit, knowledge and insight, interpretation of dreams, explanation of enigmas and solving of difficult problems were found in this Daniel, whom the king named Belteshazzar. Let Daniel now be summoned and he will declare the interpretation."

nasb@Daniel:4:13 @Then Daniel was brought in before the king. The king spoke and said to Daniel, "Are you that Daniel who is one of the exiles from Judah, whom my father the king brought from Judah?

nasb@Daniel:4:14" @Now I have heard about you that a spirit of the gods is in you, and that illumination, insight and extraordinary wisdom have been found in you.

nasb@Daniel:4:17 @Then Daniel answered and said before the king, "Keep your gifts for yourself or give your rewards to someone else; however, I will read the inscription to the king and make the interpretation known to him.

nasb@Daniel:4:19" @Because of the grandeur which He bestowed on him, all the peoples, nations and men of every language feared and trembled before him; whomever he wished he killed and whomever he wished he spared alive; and whomever he wished he elevated and whomever he wished he humbled.

nasb@Daniel:4:22" @Yet you, his son, Belshazzar, have not humbled your heart, even though you knew all this,

But the God in whose hand are your life-breath and all your ways, you have not glorified.

nasb@Daniel:4:26" @This is the interpretation of the message- 'MENE'--God has numbered your kingdom and put an end to it.

nasb@Daniel:4:27" @ 'TEKEL'--you have been weighed on the scales and found deficient.

nasb@Daniel:4:28" @ 'PERES'--your kingdom has been divided and given over to the Medes and Persians."

nasb@Daniel:4:29 @Then Belshazzar gave orders, and they clothed Daniel with purple and put a necklace of gold around his neck, and issued a proclamation concerning him that he now had authority as the third ruler in the kingdom.

nasb@Daniel:4:30 @That same night Belshazzar the Chaldean king was slain.

nasb@Daniel:5:1 @It seemed good to Darius to appoint 120 satraps over the kingdom, that they would be in charge of the whole kingdom,

nasb@Daniel:5:3 @Then this Daniel began distinguishing himself among the commissioners and satraps because he possessed an extraordinary spirit, and the king planned to appoint him over the entire kingdom.

nasb@Daniel:5:4 @Then the commissioners and satraps began trying to find a ground of accusation against Daniel in regard to government affairs; but they could find no ground of accusation or evidence of corruption, inasmuch as he was faithful, and no negligence or corruption was to be found in him.

nasb@Daniel:5:7" @All the commissioners of the kingdom, the prefects and the satraps, the high officials and the governors have consulted together that the king should establish a statute and enforce an injunction that anyone who makes a petition to any god or man besides you, O king, for thirty days, shall be cast into the lions' den.

nasb@Daniel:5:8" @Now, O king, establish the injunction and sign the document so that it may not be changed, according to the law of the Medes and Persians, which may not be revoked."

nasb@Daniel:5:10 @Now when Daniel knew that the document was signed, he entered his house (now in his roof chamber he had windows open toward Jerusalem); and he continued kneeling on his knees three times a day, praying and giving thanks before his God, as he had been doing previously.

nasb@Daniel:5:11 @Then these men came by agreement and found Daniel making petition and supplication before his God.

nasb@Daniel:5:12 @Then they approached and spoke before the king about the king's injunction, "Did you not sign an injunction that any man who makes a petition to any god or man besides you, O king, for thirty days, is to be cast into the lions' den?" The king replied, "The statement is true, according to the law of the Medes and Persians, which may not be revoked."

nasb@Daniel:5:13 @Then they answered and spoke before the king, " Daniel, who is one of the exiles from Judah, pays no attention to you, O king, or to the injunction which you signed, but keeps making his petition three times a day."

nasb@Daniel:5:15 @Then these men came by agreement to the king and said to the king, "Recognize, O king, that it is a law of the Medes and Persians that no injunction or statute which the king establishes may be changed."

nasb@Daniel:5:17 @A stone was brought and laid over the mouth of the den; and the king sealed it with his own signet ring and with the signet rings of his nobles, so that nothing would be changed in regard to Daniel.

nasb@Daniel:5:18 @Then the king went off to his palace and spent the night fasting, and no entertainment was brought before him; and his sleep fled from him.

nasb@Daniel:5:20 @When he had come near the den to Daniel, he cried out with a troubled voice. The king spoke and said to Daniel, "Daniel, servant of the living God, has your God, whom you constantly serve, been able to deliver you from the lions?"

nasb@Daniel:5:22" @My God sent His angel and shut the lions' mouths and they have not harmed me, inasmuch as I was found innocent before Him; and also toward you, O king, I have committed no crime."

nasb@Daniel:5:23 @Then the king was very pleased and gave orders for Daniel to be taken up out of the den. So Daniel was taken up out of the den and no injury whatever was found on him, because he had trusted in his God.

nasb@Daniel:5:24 @The king then gave orders, and they brought those men who had maliciously accused Daniel, and they cast them, their children and their wives into the lions' den; and they had not reached the bottom of the den before the lions overpowered them and crushed all their bones.

nasb@Daniel:5:26" @I make a decree that in all the dominion of my kingdom men are to fear and tremble before the God of Daniel; For He is the living God and enduring forever, And His kingdom is one which will not be destroyed, And His dominion will be forever.

nasb@Daniel:6:1 @In the first year of Belshazzar king of Babylon Daniel saw a dream and visions in his mind as he lay on his bed; then he wrote the dream down and related the following summary of it.

nasb@Daniel:6:2 @Daniel said, "I was looking in my vision by night, and behold, the four winds of heaven were stirring up the great sea.

nasb@Daniel:6:3" @And four great beasts were coming up from the sea, different from one another.

nasb@Daniel:6:5" @And behold, another beast, a second one, resembling a bear. And it was raised up on one side, and three ribs were in its mouth between its teeth; and thus they said to it, 'Arise, devour much meat!'

nasb@Daniel:6:6" @After this I kept looking, and behold, another one, like a leopard, which had on its back four wings of a bird; the beast also had four heads, and dominion was given to it.

nasb@Daniel:6:7" @After this I kept looking in the night visions, and behold, a fourth beast, dreadful and terrifying and extremely strong; and it had large iron teeth. It devoured and crushed and trampled down the remainder with its feet; and it was different from all the beasts that were before it, and it had ten horns.

nasb@Daniel:6:8" @While I was contemplating the horns, behold, another horn, a little one, came up among them, and three of the first horns were pulled out by the roots before it; and behold, this horn possessed eyes like the eyes of a man and a mouth uttering great boasts.

nasb@Daniel:6:10" @A river of fire was flowing And coming out from before Him; Thousands upon thousands were attending Him, And myriads upon myriads were standing before Him; The court sat, And the books were opened.

nasb@Daniel:6:11" @Then I kept looking because of the sound of the boastful words which the horn was speaking; I kept looking until the beast was slain, and its body was destroyed and given to the burning fire.

nasb@Daniel:6:12" @As for the rest of the beasts, their dominion was taken away, but an extension of life was granted to them for an appointed period of time.

nasb@Daniel:6:13" @I kept looking in the night visions, And behold, with the clouds of heaven One like a Son of Man was coming, And He came up to the Ancient of Days And was presented before Him.

nasb@Daniel:6:14" @And to Him was given dominion, Glory and a kingdom, That all the peoples, nations and men of every language Might serve Him. His dominion is an everlasting dominion Which will not pass away; And His kingdom is one Which will not be destroyed.

nasb@Daniel:6:16" @I approached one of those who were standing by and began asking him the exact meaning of all this. So he told me and made known to me the interpretation of these things-

nasb@Daniel:6:17 @'These great beasts, which are four in number, are four kings who will arise from the earth.

nasb@Daniel:6:19" @Then I desired to know the exact meaning of the fourth beast, which was different from all the others, exceedingly dreadful, with its teeth of iron and its claws of bronze, and which devoured, crushed and trampled down the remainder with its feet,

nasb@Daniel:6:20 @and the meaning of the ten horns that were on its head and the other horn which came up, and before which three of them fell, namely, that horn which had eyes and a mouth uttering great boasts and which was larger in appearance than its associates.

nasb@Daniel:6:23" @Thus he said- 'The fourth beast will be a fourth kingdom on the earth, which will be different from all the other kingdoms and will devour the whole earth and tread it down and crush it.

nasb@Daniel:6:24 @'As for the ten horns, out of this kingdom ten kings will arise; and another will arise after them, and he will be different from the previous ones and will subdue three kings.

nasb@Daniel:6:25 @'He will speak out against the Most High and wear down the saints of the Highest One, and he will intend to make alterations in times and in law; and they will be given into his hand for a time, times, and half a time.

nasb@Daniel:6:26 @'But the court will sit for judgment, and his dominion will be taken away, annihilated and destroyed forever.

nasb@Daniel:6:27 @'Then the sovereignty, the dominion and the greatness of all the kingdoms under the whole heaven will be given to the people of the saints of the Highest One; His kingdom will be an everlasting kingdom, and all the dominions will serve and obey Him.'

nasb@Daniel:7:1 @In the third year of the reign of Belshazzar the king a vision appeared to me, Daniel, subsequent to the one which appeared to me previously.

nasb@Daniel:7:2 @I looked in the vision, and while I was looking I was in the citadel of Susa, which is in the province of Elam; and I looked in the vision and I myself was beside the Ulai Canal.

nasb@Daniel:7:3 @Then I lifted my eyes and looked, and behold, a ram which had two horns was standing in front of the canal. Now the two horns were long, but one was longer than the other, with the longer one coming up last.

nasb@Daniel:7:4 @I saw the ram butting westward, northward, and southward, and no other beasts could stand before him nor was there anyone to rescue from his power, but he did as he pleased and magnified himself.

nasb@Daniel:7:5 @While I was observing, behold, a male goat was coming from the west over the surface of the whole earth without touching the ground; and the goat had a conspicuous horn between his eyes.

nasb@Daniel:7:7 @I saw him come beside the ram, and he was enraged at him; and he struck the ram and shattered his two horns, and the ram had no strength to withstand him. So he hurled him to the ground and trampled on him, and there was none to rescue the ram from his power.

nasb@Daniel:7:9 @Out of one of them came forth a rather small horn which grew exceedingly great toward the south, toward the east, and toward the Beautiful Land.

nasb@Daniel:7:11 @It even magnified itself to be equal with the Commander of the host; and it removed the regular sacrifice from Him, and the place of His sanctuary was thrown down.

nasb@Daniel:7:12 @And on account of transgression the host will be given over to the horn along with the regular sacrifice; and it will fling truth to the ground and perform its will and prosper.

nasb@Daniel:7:13 @Then I heard a holy one speaking, and another holy one said to that particular one who was speaking, " How long will the vision about the regular sacrifice apply, while the transgression causes horror, so as to allow both the holy place and the host to be trampled?"

nasb@Daniel:7:14 @He said to me, "For 2,300 evenings and mornings; then the holy place will be properly restored."

nasb@Daniel:7:15 @When I, Daniel, had seen the vision, I sought to understand it; and behold, standing before me was one who looked like a man.

nasb@Daniel:7:16 @And I heard the voice of a man between the banks of Ulai, and he called out and said, " Gabriel, give this man an understanding of the vision."

nasb@Daniel:7:19 @He said, "Behold, I am going to let you know what will occur at the final period of the indignation, for it pertains to the appointed time of the end.

nasb@Daniel:7:21" @The shaggy goat represents the kingdom of Greece, and the large horn that is between his eyes is the first king.

nasb@Daniel:7:24" @His power will be mighty, but not by his own power, And he will destroy to an extraordinary degree And prosper and perform his will; He will destroy mighty men and the holy people.

nasb@Daniel:7:25" @And through his shrewdness He will cause deceit to succeed by his influence; And he will magnify himself in his heart, And he will destroy many while they are at ease. He will even oppose the Prince of princes, But he will be broken without human agency.

nasb@Daniel:7:26" @The vision of the evenings and mornings Which has been told is true; But keep the vision secret, For it pertains to many days in the future."

nasb@Daniel:8:2 @in the first year of his reign, I, Daniel, observed in the books the number of the years which was revealed as the word of the LORD to Jeremiah the prophet for the completion of the desolations of Jerusalem, namely, seventy years.

nasb@Daniel:8:5 @we have sinned, committed iniquity, acted wickedly and rebelled, even turning aside from Your commandments and ordinances.

nasb@Daniel:8:7" @ Righteousness belongs to You, O Lord, but to us open shame, as it is this day--to the men of Judah, the inhabitants of Jerusalem and all Israel, those who are nearby and those who are far away in all the countries to which You have driven them, because of their unfaithful deeds which they have committed against You.

nasb@Daniel:8:8" @Open shame belongs to us, O Lord, to our kings, our princes and our fathers, because we have sinned against You.

nasb@Daniel:8:9" @To the Lord our God belong compassion and forgiveness, for we have rebelled against Him;

nasb@Daniel:8:10 @nor have we obeyed the voice of the LORD our God, to walk in His teachings which He set before us through His servants the prophets.

nasb@Daniel:8:11" @Indeed all Israel has transgressed Your law and turned aside, not obeying Your voice; so the curse has been poured out on us, along with the oath which is written in the law of Moses the servant of God, for we have sinned against Him.

nasb@Daniel:8:12" @Thus He has confirmed His words which He had spoken against us and against our rulers who ruled us, to bring on us great calamity; for under the whole heaven there has not been done anything like what was done to Jerusalem.

nasb@Daniel:8:14" @Therefore the LORD has kept the calamity in store and brought it on us; for the LORD our God is righteous with respect to all His deeds which He has done, but we have not obeyed His voice.

nasb@Daniel:8:15" @And now, O Lord our God, who have brought Your people out of the land of Egypt with a mighty hand and have made a name for Yourself, as it is this day--we have sinned, we have been wicked.

nasb@Daniel:8:16" @O Lord, in accordance with all Your righteous acts, let now Your anger and Your wrath turn away from Your city Jerusalem, Your holy mountain; for because of our sins and the iniquities of our fathers, Jerusalem and Your people have become a reproach to all those around us.

nasb@Daniel:8:18" @O my God, incline Your ear and hear! Open Your eyes and see our desolations and the city which is called by Your name; for we are not presenting our supplications before You on account of any merits of our own, but on account of Your great compassion.

nasb@Daniel:8:19" @O Lord, hear! O Lord, forgive! O Lord, listen and take action! For Your own sake, O my God, do not delay, because Your city and Your people are called by Your name."

nasb@Daniel:8:20 @Now while I was speaking and praying, and confessing my sin and the sin of my people Israel, and presenting my supplication before the LORD my God in behalf of the holy mountain of my God,

nasb@Daniel:8:23" @At the beginning of your supplications the command was issued, and I have come to tell you, for you are highly esteemed; so give heed to the message and gain understanding of the vision.

nasb@Daniel:8:24" @Seventy weeks have been decreed for your people and your holy city, to finish the transgression, to make an end of sin, to make atonement for iniquity, to bring in everlasting righteousness, to seal up vision and prophecy and to anoint the most holy place.

nasb@Daniel:8:25" @So you are to know and discern that from the issuing of a decree to restore and rebuild Jerusalem until Messiah the Prince there will be seven weeks and sixty-two weeks; it will be built again, with plaza and moat, even in times of distress.

nasb@Daniel:8:26" @Then after the sixty-two weeks the Messiah will be cut off and have nothing, and the people of the prince who is to come will destroy the city and the sanctuary. And its end will come with a flood; even to the end there will be war; desolations are determined.

nasb@Daniel:9:1 @In the third year of Cyrus king of Persia a message was revealed to Daniel, who was named Belteshazzar; and the message was true and one of great conflict, but he understood the message and had an understanding of the vision.

nasb@Daniel:9:2 @In those days, I, Daniel, had been mourning for three entire weeks.

nasb@Daniel:9:5 @I lifted my eyes and looked, and behold, there was a certain man dressed in linen, whose waist was girded with a belt of pure gold of Uphaz.

nasb@Daniel:9:6 @His body also was like beryl, his face had the appearance of lightning, his eyes were like flaming torches, his arms and feet like the gleam of polished bronze, and the sound of his words like the sound of a tumult.

nasb@Daniel:9:10 @Then behold, a hand touched me and set me trembling on my hands and knees.

nasb@Daniel:9:11 @He said to me, "O Daniel, man of high esteem, understand the words that I am about to tell you and stand upright, for I have now been sent to you." And when he had spoken this word to me, I stood up trembling.

nasb@Daniel:9:12 @Then he said to me, " Do not be afraid, Daniel, for from the first day that you set your heart on understanding this and on humbling yourself before your God, your words were heard, and I have come in response to your words.

nasb@Daniel:9:13" @But the prince of the kingdom of Persia was withstanding me for twenty-one days; then behold, Michael, one of the chief princes, came to help me, for I had been left there with the kings of Persia.

nasb@Daniel:9:15 @When he had spoken to me according to these words, I turned my face toward the ground and became speechless.

nasb@Daniel:9:16 @And behold, one who resembled a human being was touching my lips; then I opened my mouth and spoke and said to him who was standing before me, "O my lord, as a result of the vision anguish has come upon me, and I have retained no strength.

nasb@Daniel:9:17" @For how can such a servant of my lord talk with such as my lord? As for me, there remains just now no strength in me, nor has any breath been left in me."

nasb@Daniel:9:19 @He said, "O man of high esteem, do not be afraid. Peace be with you; take courage and be courageous!" Now as soon as he spoke to me, I received strength and said, "May my lord speak, for you have strengthened me."

nasb@Daniel:9:20 @Then he said, "Do you understand why I came to you? But I shall now return to fight against the prince of Persia; so I am going forth, and behold, the prince of Greece is about to come.

nasb@Daniel:9:21" @However, I will tell you what is inscribed in the writing of truth. Yet there is no one who stands firmly with me against these forces except Michael your prince.

nasb@Daniel:9:11" @In the first year of Darius the Mede, I arose to be an encouragement and a protection for him.

nasb@Daniel:9:2" @And now I will tell you the truth. Behold, three more kings are going to arise in Persia. Then a fourth will gain far more riches than all of them; as soon as he becomes strong through his riches, he will arouse the whole empire against the realm of Greece.

nasb@Daniel:9:4" @But as soon as he has arisen, his kingdom will be broken up and parceled out toward the four points of the compass, though not to his own descendants, nor according to his authority which he wielded, for his sovereignty will be uprooted and given to others besides them.

nasb@Daniel:9:5" @Then the king of the South will grow strong, along with one of his princes who will gain ascendancy over him and obtain dominion; his domain will be a great dominion indeed.

nasb@Daniel:9:6" @After some years they will form an alliance, and the daughter of the king of the South will come to the king of the North to carry out a peaceful arrangement. But she will not retain her position of power, nor will he remain with his power, but she will be given up, along with those who brought her in and the one who sired her as well as he who supported her in those times.

nasb@Daniel:9:11" @The king of the South will be enraged and go forth and fight with the king of the North. Then the latter will raise a great multitude, but that multitude will be given into the hand of the former.

nasb@Daniel:9:12" @When the multitude is carried away, his heart will be lifted up, and he will cause tens of thousands to fall; yet he will not prevail.

nasb@Daniel:9:15" @Then the king of the North will come, cast up a siege ramp and capture a well-fortified city; and the forces of the South will not stand their ground, not even their choicest troops, for there will be no strength to make a stand.

nasb@Daniel:9:16" @But he who comes against him will do as he pleases, and no one will be able to withstand him; he will also stay for a time in the Beautiful Land, with destruction in his hand.

nasb@Daniel:9:17" @He will set his face to come with the power of his whole kingdom, bringing with him a proposal of peace which he will put into effect; he will also give him the daughter of women to ruin it. But she will not take a stand for him or be on his side.

nasb@Daniel:9:19" @So he will turn his face toward the fortresses of his own land, but he will stumble and fall and be found no more.

nasb@Daniel:9:20" @Then in his place one will arise who will send an oppressor through the Jewel of his kingdom; yet within a few days he will be shattered, though not in anger nor in battle.

nasb@Daniel:9:21" @In his place a despicable person will arise, on whom the honor of kingship has not been conferred, but he will come in a time of tranquility and seize the kingdom by intrigue.

nasb@Daniel:9:22" @The overflowing forces will be flooded away before him and shattered, and also the prince of the covenant.

nasb@Daniel:9:25" @He will stir up his strength and courage against the king of the South with a large army; so the king of the South will mobilize an extremely large and mighty army for war; but he will not stand, for schemes will be devised against him.

nasb@Daniel:9:27" @As for both kings, their hearts will be intent on evil, and they will speak lies to each other at the same table; but it will not succeed, for the end is still to come at the appointed time.

nasb@Daniel:9:28" @Then he will return to his land with much plunder; but his heart will be set against the holy covenant, and he will take action and then return to his own land.

nasb@Daniel:9:29" @At the appointed time he will return and come into the South, but this last time it will not turn out the way it did before.

nasb@Daniel:9:30" @For ships of Kittim will come against him; therefore he will be disheartened and will return and become enraged at the holy covenant and take action; so he will come back and show regard for those who forsake the holy covenant.

nasb@Daniel:9:34" @Now when they fall they will be granted a little help, and many will join with them in hypocrisy.

nasb@Daniel:9:35" @Some of those who have insight will fall, in order to refine, purge and make them pure until the end time; because it is still to come at the appointed time.

nasb@Daniel:9:36" @Then the king will do as he pleases, and he will exalt and magnify himself above every god and will speak monstrous things against the God of gods; and he will prosper until the indignation is finished, for that which is decreed will be done.

nasb@Daniel:9:41" @He will also enter the Beautiful Land, and many countries will fall; but these will be rescued out of his hand- Edom, Moab and the foremost of the sons of Ammon.

nasb@Daniel:9:45" @He will pitch the tents of his royal pavilion between the seas and the beautiful Holy Mountain; yet he will come to his end, and no one will help him.

nasb@Daniel:9:12" @Now at that time Michael, the great prince who stands guard over the sons of your people, will arise. And there will be a time of distress such as never occurred since there was a nation until that time; and at that time your people, everyone who is found written in the book, will be rescued.

nasb@Daniel:9:5 @Then I, Daniel, looked and behold, two others were standing, one on this bank of the river and the other on that bank of the river.

nasb@Daniel:9:6 @And one said to the man dressed in linen, who was above the waters of the river, " How long will it be until the end of these wonders?"

nasb@Daniel:9:7 @I heard the man dressed in linen, who was above the waters of the river, as he raised his right hand and his left toward heaven, and swore by Him who lives forever that it would be for a time, times, and half a time; and as soon as they finish shattering the power of the holy people, all these events will be completed.

nasb@Daniel:9:8 @As for me, I heard but could not understand; so I said, "My lord, what will be the outcome of these events?"

nasb@Daniel:9:10" @ Many will be purged, purified and refined, but the wicked will act wickedly; and none of the wicked will understand, but those who have insight will understand.

nasb@Hosea:7:6 @For from Israel is even this! A craftsman made it, so it is not God; Surely the calf of Samaria will be broken to pieces.

nasb@Hosea:7:10 @Even though they hire allies among the nations, Now I will gather them up; And they will begin to diminish Because of the burden of the king of princes.

nasb@Hosea:7:11 @Since Ephraim has multiplied altars for sin, They have become altars of sinning for him.

nasb@Hosea:7:13 @As for My sacrificial gifts, They sacrifice the flesh and eat it, But the LORD has taken no delight in them. Now He will remember their iniquity, And punish them for their sins; They will return to Egypt.

nasb@Hosea:8:4 @They will not pour out drink offerings of wine to the LORD, Their sacrifices will not please Him. Their bread will be like mourners' bread; All who eat of it will be defiled, For their bread will be for themselves alone; It will not enter the house of the LORD.

nasb@Hosea:8:6 @For behold, they will go because of destruction; Egypt will gather them up, Memphis will bury them. Weeds will take over their treasures of silver; Thorns will be in their tents.

nasb@Hosea:8:7 @The days of punishment have come, The days of retribution have come; Let Israel know this! The prophet is a fool, The inspired man is demented, Because of the grossness of your iniquity, And because your hostility is so great.

nasb@Hosea:8:9 @They have gone deep in depravity As in the days of Gibeah; He will remember their iniquity, He will punish their sins.

nasb@Hosea:8:10 @I found Israel like grapes in the wilderness; I saw your forefathers as the earliest fruit on the fig tree in its first season. But they came to Baal-peor and devoted themselves to shame, And they became as detestable as that which they loved.

nasb@Hosea:8:12 @Though they bring up their children, Yet I will bereave them until not a man is left. Yes, woe to them indeed when I depart from them!

nasb@Hosea:8:15 @All their evil is at Gilgal; Indeed, I came to hate them there! Because of the wickedness of their deeds I will drive them out of My house! I will love them no more; All their princes are rebels.

nasb@Hosea:8:16 @Ephraim is stricken, their root is dried up, They will bear no fruit. Even though they bear children, I will slay the precious ones of their womb.

nasb@Hosea:8:17 @My God will cast them away Because they have not listened to Him; And they will be wanderers among the nations.

nasb@Hosea:9:1 @Israel is a luxuriant vine; He produces fruit for himself. The more his fruit, The more altars he made; The richer his land, The better he made the sacred pillars.

nasb@Hosea:9:2 @Their heart is faithless; Now they must bear their guilt. The LORD will break down their altars And destroy their sacred pillars.

nasb@Hosea:9:5 @The inhabitants of Samaria will fear For the calf of Beth-aven. Indeed, its people will mourn for it, And its idolatrous priests will cry out over it, Over its glory, since it has departed from it.

nasb@Hosea:9:6 @The thing itself will be carried to Assyria As tribute to King Jareb; Ephraim will be seized with shame And Israel will be ashamed of its own counsel.

nasb@Hosea:9:7 @Samaria will be cut off with her king Like a stick on the surface of the water.

nasb@Hosea:9:8 @Also the high places of Aven, the sin of Israel, will be destroyed; Thorn and thistle will grow on their altars; Then they will say to the mountains, "Cover us!" And to the hills, "Fall on us!"

nasb@Hosea:9:9 @From the days of Gibeah you have sinned, O Israel; There they stand! Will not the battle against the sons of iniquity overtake them in Gibeah?

nasb@Hosea:9:10 @When it is My desire, I will chastise them; And the peoples will be gathered against them When they are bound for their double guilt.

nasb@Hosea:9:13 @You have plowed wickedness, you have reaped injustice, You have eaten the fruit of lies. Because you have trusted in your way, in your numerous warriors,

nasb@Hosea:9:14 @Therefore a tumult will arise among your people, And all your fortresses will be destroyed, As Shalman destroyed Beth-arbel on the day of battle, When mothers were dashed in pieces with their children.

nasb@Hosea:9:15 @Thus it will be done to you at Bethel because of your great wickedness. At dawn the king of Israel will be completely cut off.

nasb@Hosea:10:4 @I led them with cords of a man, with bonds of love, And I became to them as one who lifts the yoke from their jaws; And I bent down and fed them.

nasb@Hosea:10:5 @They will not return to the land of Egypt; But Assyria--he will be their king Because they refused to return to Me.

nasb@Hosea:10:6 @The sword will whirl against their cities, And will demolish their gate bars And consume them because of their counsels.

nasb@Hosea:10:7 @So My people are bent on turning from Me. Though they call them to the One on high, None at all exalts Him.

nasb@Hosea:11:4 @Yes, he wrestled with the angel and prevailed; He wept and sought His favor. He found Him at Bethel And there He spoke with us,

nasb@Hosea:11:8 @And Ephraim said, "Surely I have become rich, I have found wealth for myself; In all my labors they will find in me No iniquity, which would be sin."

nasb@Hosea:11:9 @But I have been the LORD your God since the land of Egypt; I will make you live in tents again, As in the days of the appointed festival.

nasb@Hosea:11:11 @Is there iniquity in Gilead? Surely they are worthless. In Gilgal they sacrifice bulls, Yes, their altars are like the stone heaps Beside the furrows of the field.

nasb@Hosea:12:3 @Therefore they will be like the morning cloud And like dew which soon disappears, Like chaff which is blown away from the threshing floor And like smoke from a chimney.

nasb@Hosea:12:4 @Yet I have been the LORD your God Since the land of Egypt; And you were not to know any god except Me, For there is no savior besides Me.

nasb@Hosea:12:6 @As they had their pasture, they became satisfied, And being satisfied, their heart became proud; Therefore they forgot Me.

nasb@Hosea:12:7 @So I will be like a lion to them; Like a leopard I will lie in wait by the wayside.

nasb@Hosea:12:8 @I will encounter them like a bear robbed of her cubs, And I will tear open their chests; There I will also devour them like a lioness, As a wild beast would tear them.

nasb@Hosea:12:14 @Shall I ransom them from the power of Sheol? Shall I redeem them from death? O Death, where are your thorns? O Sheol, where is your sting? Compassion will be hidden from My sight.

nasb@Hosea:12:15 @Though he flourishes among the reeds, An east wind will come, The wind of the LORD coming up from the wilderness; And his fountain will become dry And his spring will be dried up; It will plunder his treasury of every precious article.

nasb@Hosea:12:16 @Samaria will be held guilty, For she has rebelled against her God. They will fall by the sword, Their little ones will be dashed in pieces, And their pregnant women will be ripped open.

nasb@Hosea:13:1 @Return, O Israel, to the LORD your God, For you have stumbled because of your iniquity.

nasb@Hosea:13:5 @I will be like the dew to Israel; He will blossom like the lily, And he will take root like the cedars of Lebanon.

nasb@Hosea:13:6 @His shoots will sprout, And his beauty will be like the olive tree And his fragrance like the cedars of Lebanon.

nasb@Hosea:13:7 @Those who live in his shadow Will again raise grain, And they will blossom like the vine. His renown will be like the wine of Lebanon.

nasb@Joel:1:6 @For a nation has invaded my land, Mighty and without number; Its teeth are the teeth of a lion, And it has the fangs of a lioness.

nasb@Joel:1:7 @It has made my vine a waste And my fig tree splinters. It has stripped them bare and cast them away; Their branches have become white.

nasb@Joel:1:11 @Be ashamed, O farmers, Wail, O vinedressers, For the wheat and the barley; Because the harvest of the field is destroyed.

nasb@Joel:1:16 @Has not food been cut off before our eyes, Gladness and joy from the house of our God?

nasb@Joel:1:18 @How the beasts groan! The herds of cattle wander aimlessly Because there is no pasture for them; Even the flocks of sheep suffer.

nasb@Joel:1:20 @Even the beasts of the field pant for You; For the water brooks are dried up And fire has devoured the pastures of the wilderness.

nasb@Joel:2:2 @A day of darkness and gloom, A day of clouds and thick darkness. As the dawn is spread over the mountains, So there is a great and mighty people; There has never been anything like it, Nor will there be again after it To the years of many generations.

nasb@Joel:2:3 @A fire consumes before them And behind them a flame burns. The land is like the garden of Eden before them But a desolate wilderness behind them, And nothing at all escapes them.

nasb@Joel:2:6 @Before them the people are in anguish; All faces turn pale.

nasb@Joel:2:10 @Before them the earth quakes, The heavens tremble, The sun and the moon grow dark And the stars lose their brightness.

nasb@Joel:2:11 @The LORD utters His voice before His army; Surely His camp is very great, For strong is he who carries out His word. The day of the LORD is indeed great and very awesome, And who can endure it?

nasb@Joel:2:14 @Who knows whether He will not turn and relent And leave a blessing behind Him, Even a grain offering and a drink offering For the LORD your God?

nasb@Joel:2:16 @Gather the people, sanctify the congregation, Assemble the elders, Gather the children and the nursing infants. Let the bridegroom come out of his room And the bride out of her bridal chamber.

nasb@Joel:2:17 @Let the priests, the LORD'S ministers, Weep between the porch and the altar, And let them say, " Spare Your people, O LORD, And do not make Your inheritance a reproach, A byword among the nations. Why should they among the peoples say, ' Where is their God?'"

nasb@Joel:2:18 @Then the LORD will be zealous for His land And will have pity on His people.

nasb@Joel:2:19 @The LORD will answer and say to His people, "Behold, I am going to send you grain, new wine and oil, And you will be satisfied in full with them; And I will never again make you a reproach among the nations.

nasb@Joel:2:21 @Do not fear, O land, rejoice and be glad, For the LORD has done great things.

nasb@Joel:2:22 @Do not fear, beasts of the field, For the pastures of the wilderness have turned green, For the tree has borne its fruit, The fig tree and the vine have yielded in full.

nasb@Joel:2:23 @So rejoice, O sons of Zion, And be glad in the LORD your God; For He has given you the early rain for your vindication. And He has poured down for you the rain, The early and latter rain as before.

nasb@Joel:2:24 @The threshing floors will be full of grain, And the vats will overflow with the new wine and oil.

nasb@Joel:2:26" @You will have plenty to eat and be satisfied And praise the name of the LORD your God, Who has dealt wondrously with you; Then My people will never be put to shame.

nasb@Joel:2:27" @Thus you will know that I am in the midst of Israel, And that I am the LORD your God, And there is no other; And My people will never be put to shame.

nasb@Joel:2:31" @The sun will be turned into darkness And the moon into blood Before the great and awesome day of the LORD comes.

nasb@Joel:2:32" @And it will come about that whoever calls on the name of the LORD Will be delivered; For on Mount Zion and in Jerusalem There will be those who escape, As the LORD has said, Even among the survivors whom the LORD calls.

nasb@Joel:3:1" @For behold, in those days and at that time, When I restore the fortunes of Judah and Jerusalem,

nasb@Joel:3:2 @I will gather all the nations And bring them down to the valley of Jehoshaphat. Then I will enter into judgment with them there On behalf of My people and My inheritance, Israel, Whom they have scattered among the nations; And they have divided up My land.

nasb@Joel:3:7 @behold, I am going to arouse them from the place where you have sold them, and return your recompense on your head.

nasb@Joel:3:8" @Also I will sell your sons and your daughters into the hand of the sons of Judah, and they will sell them to the Sabeans, to a distant nation," for the LORD has spoken.

nasb@Joel:3:10 @Beat your plowshares into swords And your pruning hooks into spears; Let the weak say, "I am a mighty man."

nasb@Joel:3:12 @Let the nations be aroused And come up to the valley of Jehoshaphat, For there I will sit to judge All the surrounding nations.

nasb@Joel:3:17 @Then you will know that I am the LORD your God, Dwelling in Zion, My holy mountain. So Jerusalem will be holy, And strangers will pass through it no more.

nasb@Joel:3:19 @Egypt will become a waste, And Edom will become a desolate wilderness, Because of the violence done to the sons of Judah, In whose land they have shed innocent blood.

nasb@Joel:3:20 @But Judah will be inhabited forever And Jerusalem for all generations.

nasb@Amos:1:1 @The words of Amos, who was among the sheepherders from Tekoa, which he envisioned in visions concerning Israel in the days of Uzziah king of Judah, and in the days of Jeroboam son of Joash, king of Israel, two years before the earthquake.

nasb@Amos:1:3 @Thus says the LORD, "For three transgressions of Damascus and for four I will not revoke its punishment, Because they threshed Gilead with implements of sharp iron.

nasb@Amos:1:4" @So I will send fire upon the house of Hazael And it will consume the citadels of Ben-hadad.

nasb@Amos:1:5" @I will also break the gate bar of Damascus, And cut off the inhabitant from the valley of Aven, And him who holds the scepter, from Beth-eden; So the people of Aram will go exiled to Kir," Says the LORD.

nasb@Amos:1:6 @Thus says the LORD, "For three transgressions of Gaza and for four I will not revoke its punishment, Because they deported an entire population To deliver it up to Edom.

nasb@Amos:1:9 @Thus says the LORD, "For three transgressions of Tyre and for four I will not revoke its punishment, Because they delivered up an entire population to Edom And did not remember the covenant of brotherhood.

nasb@Amos:1:11 @Thus says the LORD, "For three transgressions of Edom and for four I will not revoke its punishment, Because he pursued his brother with the sword, While he stifled his compassion; His anger also tore continually, And he maintained his fury forever.

nasb@Amos:1:13 @Thus says the LORD, "For three transgressions of the sons of Ammon and for four I will not revoke its punishment, Because they ripped open the pregnant women of Gilead In order to enlarge their borders.

nasb@Amos:2:2 @Thus says the LORD, "For three transgressions of Moab and for four I will not revoke its punishment, Because he burned the bones of the king of Edom to lime.

nasb@Amos:2:4 @Thus says the LORD, "For three transgressions of Judah and for four I will not revoke its punishment, Because they rejected the law of the LORD And have not kept His statutes; Their lies also have led them astray, Those after which their fathers walked.

nasb@Amos:2:6 @Thus says the LORD, "For three transgressions of Israel and for four I will not revoke its punishment, Because they sell the righteous for money And the needy for a pair of sandals.

nasb@Amos:2:8" @On garments taken as pledges they stretch out beside every altar, And in the house of their God they drink the wine of those who have been fined.

nasb@Amos:2:9" @Yet it was I who destroyed the Amorite before them, Though his height was like the height of cedars And he was strong as the oaks; I even destroyed his fruit above and his root below.

nasb@Amos:2:11" @Then I raised up some of your sons to be prophets And some of your young men to be Nazirites. Is this not so, O sons of Israel?" declares the LORD.

nasb@Amos:2:13" @Behold, I am weighted down beneath you As a wagon is weighted down when filled with sheaves.

nasb@Amos:2:11 @Therefore, thus says the Lord GOD, "An enemy, even one surrounding the land, Will pull down your strength from you And your citadels will be looted."

nasb@Amos:2:12 @Thus says the LORD, "Just as the shepherd snatches from the lion's mouth a couple of legs or a piece of an ear, So will the sons of Israel dwelling in Samaria be snatched away-- With the corner of a bed and the cover of a couch!

nasb@Amos:3:4" @Enter Bethel and transgress; In Gilgal multiply transgression! Bring your sacrifices every morning, Your tithes every three days.

nasb@Amos:3:7" @Furthermore, I withheld the rain from you While there were still three months until harvest. Then I would send rain on one city And on another city I would not send rain; One part would be rained on, While the part not rained on would dry up.

nasb@Amos:4:6" @ Seek the LORD that you may live, Or He will break forth like a fire, O house of Joseph, And it will consume with none to quench it for Bethel,

nasb@Amos:4:11 @Therefore because you impose heavy rent on the poor And exact a tribute of grain from them, Though you have built houses of well-hewn stone, Yet you will not live in them; You have planted pleasant vineyards, yet you will not drink their wine.

nasb@Amos:4:12 @For I know your transgressions are many and your sins are great, You who distress the righteous and accept bribes And turn aside the poor in the gate.

nasb@Amos:4:18 @Alas, you who are longing for the day of the LORD, For what purpose will the day of the LORD be to you? It will be darkness and not light;

nasb@Micah:3:5 @This One will be our peace. When the Assyrian invades our land, When he tramples on our citadels, Then we will raise against him Seven shepherds and eight leaders of men.

nasb@Micah:3:7 @Then the remnant of Jacob Will be among many peoples Like dew from the LORD, Like showers on vegetation Which do not wait for man Or delay for the sons of men.

nasb@Micah:3:8 @The remnant of Jacob Will be among the nations, Among many peoples Like a lion among the beasts of the forest, Like a young lion among flocks of sheep, Which, if he passes through, Tramples down and tears, And there is none to rescue.

nasb@Micah:3:9 @Your hand will be lifted up against your adversaries, And all your enemies will be cut off.

nasb@Micah:3:14" @You will eat, but you will not be satisfied, And your vileness will be in your midst. You will try to remove for safekeeping, But you will not preserve anything, And what you do preserve I will give to the sword.

nasb@Micah:3:16" @The statutes of Omri And all the works of the house of Ahab are observed; And in their devices you walk. Therefore I will give you up for destruction And your inhabitants for derision, And you will bear the reproach of My people."

nasb@Micah:4:3 @Concerning evil, both hands do it well. The prince asks, also the judge, for a bribe, And a great man speaks the desire of his soul; So they weave it together.

nasb@Zechariah:1:11" @ Many nations will join themselves to the LORD in that day and will become My people. Then I will dwell in your midst, and you will know that the LORD of hosts has sent Me to you.

nasb@Zechariah:1:13" @ Be silent, all flesh, before the LORD; for He is aroused from His holy habitation."

nasb@Zechariah:2:1 @Then he showed me Joshua the high priest standing before the angel of the LORD, and Satan standing at his right hand to accuse him.

nasb@Zechariah:2:3 @Now Joshua was clothed with filthy garments and standing before the angel.

nasb@Zechariah:2:4 @He spoke and said to those who were standing before him, saying, " Remove the filthy garments from him." Again he said to him, "See, I have taken your iniquity away from you and will clothe you with festal robes."

nasb@Zechariah:2:8 @'Now listen, Joshua the high priest, you and your friends who are sitting in front of you--indeed they are men who are a symbol, for behold, I am going to bring in My servant the Branch.

nasb@Zechariah:2:9 @'For behold, the stone that I have set before Joshua; on one stone are seven eyes. Behold, I will engrave an inscription on it,' declares the LORD of hosts, 'and I will remove the iniquity of that land in one day.

nasb@Zechariah:3:2 @He said to me, " What do you see?" And I said, "I see, and behold, a lampstand all of gold with its bowl on the top of it, and its seven lamps on it with seven spouts belonging to each of the lamps which are on the top of it;

nasb@Zechariah:3:6 @Then he said to me, "This is the word of the LORD to Zerubbabel saying, ' Not by might nor by power, but by My Spirit,' says the LORD of hosts.

nasb@Zechariah:3:7 @'What are you, O great mountain? Before Zerubbabel you will become a plain; and he will bring forth the top stone with shouts of "Grace, grace to it!"'"

nasb@Zechariah:3:9" @The hands of Zerubbabel have laid the foundation of this house, and his hands will finish it. Then you will know that the LORD of hosts has sent me to you.

nasb@Zechariah:3:10" @For who has despised the day of small things? But these seven will be glad when they see the plumb line in the hand of Zerubbabel--these are the eyes of the LORD which range to and fro throughout the earth."

nasb@Zechariah:3:12 @And I answered the second time and said to him, "What are the two olive branches which are beside the two golden pipes, which empty the golden oil from themselves?"

nasb@Zechariah:4:1 @Then I lifted up my eyes again and looked, and behold, there was a flying scroll.

nasb@Zechariah:4:3 @Then he said to me, "This is the curse that is going forth over the face of the whole land; surely everyone who steals will be purged away according to the writing on one side, and everyone who swears will be purged away according to the writing on the other side.

nasb@Zechariah:4:4" @I will make it go forth," declares the LORD of hosts, "and it will enter the house of the thief and the house of the one who swears falsely by My name; and it will spend the night within that house and consume it with its timber and stones."

nasb@Zechariah:4:7 @(and behold, a lead cover was lifted up); and this is a woman sitting inside the ephah."

nasb@Zechariah:4:9 @Then I lifted up my eyes and looked, and there two women were coming out with the wind 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.

nasb@Zechariah:4:11 @Then he said to me, "To build a temple for her in the land of Shinar; and when it is prepared, she will be set there on her own pedestal."

nasb@Zechariah:5:1 @Now I lifted up my eyes again and looked, and behold, four chariots were coming forth from between the two mountains; and the mountains were bronze mountains.

nasb@Zechariah:5:5 @The angel replied to me, "These are the four spirits of heaven, going forth after standing before the Lord of all the earth,

nasb@Zechariah:5:12" @Then say to him, 'Thus says the LORD of hosts, "Behold, a man whose name is Branch, for He will branch out from where He is; and He will build the temple of the LORD.

nasb@Zechariah:5:13" @Yes, it is He who will build the temple of the LORD, and He who will bear the honor and sit and rule on His throne. Thus, He will be a priest on His throne, and the counsel of peace will be between the two offices."'

nasb@Zechariah:5:14" @Now the crown will become a reminder in the temple of the LORD to Helem, Tobijah, Jedaiah and Hen the son of Zephaniah.

nasb@Zechariah:5:15" @ Those who are far off will come and build the temple of the LORD." Then you will know that the LORD of hosts has sent me to you. And it will take place if you completely obey the LORD your God.

nasb@Zechariah:6:2 @Now the town of Bethel had sent Sharezer and Regemmelech and their men to seek the favor of the LORD,

nasb@Zechariah:6:3 @speaking to the priests who belong to the house of the LORD of hosts, and to the prophets, saying, "Shall I weep in the fifth month and abstain, as I have done these many years?"

nasb@Zechariah:6:14" @but I scattered them with a storm wind among all the nations whom they have not known. Thus the land is desolated behind them so that no one went back and forth, for they made the pleasant land desolate."

nasb@Zechariah:6:3" @Thus says the LORD, 'I will return to Zion and will dwell in the midst of Jerusalem. Then Jerusalem will be called the City of Truth, and the mountain of the LORD of hosts will be called the Holy Mountain.'

nasb@Zechariah:6:4" @Thus says the LORD of hosts, ' Old men and old women will again sit in the streets of Jerusalem, each man with his staff in his hand because of age.

nasb@Zechariah:6:5 @'And the streets of the city will be filled with boys and girls playing in its streets.'

nasb@Zechariah:6:6" @Thus says the LORD of hosts, 'If it is too difficult in the sight of the remnant of this people in those days, will it also be too difficult in My sight?' declares the LORD of hosts.

nasb@Zechariah:6:7" @Thus says the LORD of hosts, 'Behold, I am going to save My people from the land of the east and from the land of the west;

nasb@Zechariah:6:8 @and I will bring them back and they will live in the midst of Jerusalem; and they shall be My people, and I will be their God in truth and righteousness.'

nasb@Zechariah:6:9" @Thus says the LORD of hosts, 'Let your hands be strong, you who are listening in these days to these words from the mouth of the prophets, those who spoke in the day that the foundation of the house of the LORD of hosts was laid, to the end that the temple might be built.

nasb@Zechariah:6:10 @'For before those days there was no wage for man or any wage for animal; and for him who went out or came in there was no peace because of his enemies, and I set all men one against another.

nasb@Zechariah:6:12 @'For there will be peace for the seed- the vine will yield its fruit, the land will yield its produce and the heavens will give their dew; and I will cause the remnant of this people to inherit all these things.

nasb@Zechariah:6:13 @'It will come about that just as you were a curse among the nations, O house of Judah and house of Israel, so I will save you that you may become a blessing. Do not fear; let your hands be strong.'

nasb@Zechariah:6:19" @Thus says the LORD of hosts, 'The fast of the fourth, the fast of the fifth, the fast of the seventh and the fast of the tenth months will become joy, gladness, and cheerful feasts for the house of Judah; so love truth and peace.'

nasb@Zechariah:6:20" @Thus says the LORD of hosts, 'It will yet be that peoples will come, even the inhabitants of many cities.

nasb@Zechariah:7:1 @The burden of the word of the LORD is against the land of Hadrach, with Damascus as its resting place (for the eyes of men, especially of all the tribes of Israel, are toward the LORD),

nasb@Zechariah:7:4 @Behold, the Lord will dispossess her And cast her wealth into the sea; And she will be consumed with fire.

nasb@Zechariah:7:5 @Ashkelon will see it and be afraid. Gaza too will writhe in great pain; Also Ekron, for her expectation has been confounded. Moreover, the king will perish from Gaza, And Ashkelon will not be inhabited.

nasb@Zechariah:7:7 @And I will remove their blood from their mouth And their detestable things from between their teeth. Then they also will be a remnant for our God, And be like a clan in Judah, And Ekron like a Jebusite.

nasb@Zechariah:7:8 @But I will camp around My house because of an army, Because of him who passes by and returns; And no oppressor will pass over them anymore, For now I have seen with My eyes.

nasb@Zechariah:7:9 @Rejoice greatly, O daughter of Zion! Shout in triumph, O daughter of Jerusalem! Behold, your king is coming to you; He is just and endowed with salvation, Humble, and mounted on a donkey, Even on a colt, the foal of a donkey.

nasb@Zechariah:7:10 @I will cut off the chariot from Ephraim And the horse from Jerusalem; And the bow of war will be cut off. And He will speak peace to the nations; And His dominion will be from sea to sea, And from the River to the ends of the earth.

nasb@Zechariah:7:11 @As for you also, because of the blood of My covenant with you, I have set your prisoners free from the waterless pit.

nasb@Zechariah:7:13 @For I will bend Judah as My bow, I will fill the bow with Ephraim. And I will stir up your sons, O Zion, against your sons, O Greece; And I will make you like a warrior's sword.

nasb@Zechariah:7:15 @The LORD of hosts will defend them. And they will devour and trample on the sling stones; And they will drink and be boisterous as with wine; And they will be filled like a sacrificial basin, Drenched like the corners of the altar.

nasb@Zechariah:7:17 @For what comeliness and beauty will be theirs! Grain will make the young men flourish, and new wine the virgins.

nasb@Zechariah:8:2 @For the teraphim speak iniquity, And the diviners see lying visions And tell false dreams; They comfort in vain. Therefore the people wander like sheep, They are afflicted, because there is no shepherd.

nasb@Zechariah:8:5" @They will be as mighty men, Treading down the enemy in the mire of the streets in battle; And they will fight, for the LORD will be with them; And the riders on horses will be put to shame.

nasb@Zechariah:8:6" @I will strengthen the house of Judah, And I will save the house of Joseph, And I will bring them back, Because I have had compassion on them; And they will be as though I had not rejected them, For I am the LORD their God and I will answer them.

nasb@Zechariah:8:7" @Ephraim will be like a mighty man, And their heart will be glad as if from wine; Indeed, their children will see it and be glad, Their heart will rejoice in the LORD.

nasb@Zechariah:8:8" @I will whistle for them to gather them together, For I have redeemed them; And they will be as numerous as they were before.

nasb@Zechariah:8:9" @When I scatter them among the peoples, They will remember Me in far countries, And they with their children will live and come back.

nasb@Zechariah:8:10" @I will bring them back from the land of Egypt And gather them from Assyria; And I will bring them into the land of Gilead and Lebanon Until no room can be found for them.

nasb@Zechariah:8:11" @And they will pass through the sea of distress And He will strike the waves in the sea, So that all the depths of the Nile will dry up; And the pride of Assyria will be brought down And the scepter of Egypt will depart.

nasb@Zechariah:9:2 @Wail, O cypress, for the cedar has fallen, Because the glorious trees have been destroyed; Wail, O oaks of Bashan, For the impenetrable forest has come down.

nasb@Zechariah:9:5" @Those who buy them slay them and go unpunished, and each of those who sell them says, 'Blessed be the LORD, for I have become rich!' And their own shepherds have no pity on them.

nasb@Zechariah:9:6" @For I will no longer have pity on the inhabitants of the land," declares the LORD; "but behold, I will cause the men to fall, each into another's power and into the power of his king; and they will strike the land, and I will not deliver them from their power."

nasb@Zechariah:9:9 @Then I said, "I will not pasture you. What is to die, let it die, and what is to be annihilated, let it be annihilated; and let those who are left eat one another's flesh."

nasb@Zechariah:9:14 @Then I cut in pieces my second staff Union, to break the brotherhood between Judah and Israel.

nasb@Zechariah:9:16" @For behold, I am going to raise up a shepherd in the land who will not care for the perishing, seek the scattered, heal the broken, or sustain the one standing, but will devour the flesh of the fat sheep and tear off their hoofs.

nasb@Zechariah:9:17" @ Woe to the worthless shepherd Who leaves the flock! A sword will be on his arm And on his right eye! His arm will be totally withered And his right eye will be blind."

nasb@Zechariah:9:2" @Behold, I am going to make Jerusalem a cup that causes reeling to all the peoples around; and when the siege is against Jerusalem, it will also be against Judah.

nasb@Zechariah:9:3" @It will come about in that day that I will make Jerusalem a heavy stone for all the peoples; all who lift it will be severely injured. And all the nations of the earth will be gathered against it.

nasb@Zechariah:9:4" @In that day," declares the LORD, "I will strike every horse with bewilderment and his rider with madness. But I will watch over the house of Judah, while I strike every horse of the peoples with blindness.

nasb@Zechariah:9:7" @The LORD also will save the tents of Judah first, so that the glory of the house of David and the glory of the inhabitants of Jerusalem will not be magnified above Judah.

nasb@Zechariah:9:8" @In that day the LORD will defend the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and the one who is feeble among them in that day will be like David, and the house of David will be like God, like the angel of the LORD before them.

nasb@Zechariah:9:11" @In that day there will be great mourning in Jerusalem, like the mourning of Hadadrimmon in the plain of Megiddo.

nasb@Zechariah:9:13" @In that day a fountain will be opened for the house of David and for the inhabitants of Jerusalem, for sin and for impurity.

nasb@Zechariah:9:2" @It will come about in that day," declares the LORD of hosts, "that I will cut off the names of the idols from the land, and they will no longer be remembered; and I will also remove the prophets and the unclean spirit from the land.

nasb@Zechariah:9:4" @Also it will come about in that day that the prophets will each be ashamed of his vision when he prophesies, and they will not put on a hairy robe in order to deceive;

nasb@Zechariah:9:6" @And one will say to him, 'What are these wounds between your arms?' Then he will say, 'Those with which I was wounded in the house of my friends.'

nasb@Zechariah:9:7" @Awake, O sword, against My Shepherd, And against the man, My Associate," Declares the LORD of hosts. " Strike the Shepherd that the sheep may be scattered; And I will turn My hand against the little ones.

nasb@Zechariah:9:8" @It will come about in all the land," Declares the LORD, "That two parts in it will be cut off and perish; But the third will be left in it.

nasb@Zechariah:10:1 @Behold, a day is coming for the LORD when the spoil taken from you will be divided among you.

nasb@Zechariah:10:2 @For I will gather all the nations against Jerusalem to battle, and the city will be captured, the houses plundered, the women ravished and half of the city exiled, but the rest of the people will not be cut off from the city.

nasb@Zechariah:10:4 @In that day His feet will stand on the Mount of Olives, which is in front of Jerusalem on the east; and the Mount of Olives will be split in its middle from east to west by a very large valley, so that half of the mountain will move toward the north and the other half toward the south.

nasb@Zechariah:10:5 @You will flee by the valley of My mountains, for the valley of the mountains will reach to Azel; yes, you will flee just as you fled before the earthquake in the days of Uzziah king of Judah. Then the LORD, my God, will come, and all the holy ones with Him!

nasb@Zechariah:10:6 @In that day there will be no light; the luminaries will dwindle.

nasb@Zechariah:10:7 @For it will be a unique day which is known to the LORD, neither day nor night, but it will come about that at evening time there will be light.

nasb@Zechariah:10:8 @And in that day living waters will flow out of Jerusalem, half of them toward the eastern sea and the other half toward the western sea; it will be in summer as well as in winter.

nasb@Zechariah:10:9 @And the LORD will be king over all the earth; in that day the LORD will be the only one, and His name the only one.

nasb@Zechariah:10:10 @All the land will be changed into a plain from Geba to Rimmon south of Jerusalem; but Jerusalem will rise and remain on its site from Benjamin's Gate as far as the place of the First Gate to the Corner Gate, and from the Tower of Hananel to the king's wine presses.

nasb@Zechariah:10:11 @People will live in it, and there will no longer be a curse, for Jerusalem will dwell in security.

nasb@Zechariah:10:12 @Now this will be the plague with which the LORD will strike all the peoples who have gone to war against Jerusalem; their flesh will rot while they stand on their feet, and their eyes will rot in their sockets, and their tongue will rot in their mouth.

nasb@Zechariah:10:13 @It will come about in that day that a great panic from the LORD will fall on them; and they will seize one another's hand, and the hand of one will be lifted against the hand of another.

nasb@Zechariah:10:14 @Judah also will fight at Jerusalem; and the wealth of all the surrounding nations will be gathered, gold and silver and garments in great abundance.

nasb@Zechariah:10:15 @So also like this plague will be the plague on the horse, the mule, the camel, the donkey and all the cattle that will be in those camps.

nasb@Zechariah:10:17 @And it will be that whichever of the families of the earth does not go up to Jerusalem to worship the King, the LORD of hosts, there will be no rain on them.

nasb@Zechariah:10:18 @If the family of Egypt does not go up or enter, then no rain will fall on them; it will be the plague with which the LORD smites the nations who do not go up to celebrate the Feast of Booths.

nasb@Zechariah:10:19 @This will be the punishment of Egypt, and the punishment of all the nations who do not go up to celebrate the Feast of Booths.

nasb@Zechariah:10:20 @In that day there will be inscribed on the bells of the horses, " HOLY TO THE LORD." And the cooking pots in the LORD'S house will be like the bowls before the altar.

nasb@Zechariah:10:21 @Every cooking pot in Jerusalem and in Judah will be holy to the LORD of hosts; and all who sacrifice will come and take of them and boil in them. And there will no longer be a Canaanite in the house of the LORD of hosts in that day.

nasb@Malachi:0:4 @Though Edom says, "We have been beaten down, but we will return and build up the ruins"; thus says the LORD of hosts, "They may build, but I will tear down; and men will call them the wicked territory, and the people toward whom the LORD is indignant forever."

nasb@Malachi:0:5 @Your eyes will see this and you will say, " The LORD be magnified beyond the border of Israel!"

nasb@Malachi:0:7" @You are presenting defiled food upon My altar. But you say, 'How have we defiled You?' In that you say, 'The table of the LORD is to be despised.'

nasb@Malachi:0:8" @But when you present the blind for sacrifice, is it not evil? And when you present the lame and sick, is it not evil? Why not offer it to your governor? Would he be pleased with you? Or would he receive you kindly?" says the LORD of hosts.

nasb@Malachi:0:9" @But now will you not entreat God's favor, that He may be gracious to us? With such an offering on your part, will He receive any of you kindly?" says the LORD of hosts.

nasb@Malachi:0:11" @For from the rising of the sun even to its setting, My name will be great among the nations, and in every place incense is going to be offered to My name, and a grain offering that is pure; for My name will be great among the nations," says the LORD of hosts.

nasb@Malachi:0:12" @But you are profaning it, in that you say, 'The table of the Lord is defiled, and as for its fruit, its food is to be despised.'

nasb@Malachi:0:13" @You also say, 'My, how tiresome it is!' And you disdainfully sniff at it," says the LORD of hosts, "and you bring what was taken by robbery and what is lame or sick; so you bring the offering! Should I receive that from your hand?" says the LORD.

nasb@Malachi:0:14" @But cursed be the swindler who has a male in his flock and vows it, but sacrifices a blemished animal to the Lord, for I am a great King," says the LORD of hosts, "and My name is feared among the nations."

nasb@Malachi:0:2" @If you do not listen, and if you do not take it to heart to give honor to My name," says the LORD of hosts, "then I will send the curse upon you and I will curse your blessings; and indeed, I have cursed them already, because you are not taking it to heart.

nasb@Malachi:0:3" @Behold, I am going to rebuke your offspring, and I will spread refuse on your faces, the refuse of your feasts; and you will be taken away with it.

nasb@Malachi:0:9" @So I also have made you despised and abased before all the people, just as you are not keeping My ways but are showing partiality in the instruction.

nasb@Malachi:0:11" @Judah has dealt treacherously, and an abomination has been committed in Israel and in Jerusalem; for Judah has profaned the sanctuary of the LORD which He loves and has married the daughter of a foreign god.

nasb@Malachi:0:13" @This is another thing you do- you cover the altar of the LORD with tears, with weeping and with groaning, because He no longer regards the offering or accepts it with favor from your hand.

nasb@Malachi:0:14" @Yet you say, 'For what reason?' Because the LORD has been a witness between you and the wife of your youth, against whom you have dealt treacherously, though she is your companion and your wife by covenant.

nasb@Malachi:0:3" @ Behold, I am going to send My messenger, and he will clear the way before Me. And the Lord, whom you seek, will suddenly come to His temple; and the messenger of the covenant, in whom you delight, behold, He is coming," says the LORD of hosts.

nasb@Malachi:0:4" @Then the offering of Judah and Jerusalem will be pleasing to the LORD as in the days of old and as in former years.

nasb@Malachi:0:5" @Then I will draw near to you for judgment; and I will be a swift witness against the sorcerers and against the adulterers and against those who swear falsely, and against those who oppress the wage earner in his wages, the widow and the orphan, and those who turn aside the alien and do not fear Me," says the LORD of hosts.

nasb@Malachi:0:8" @Will a man rob God? Yet you are robbing Me! But you say, 'How have we robbed You?' In tithes and offerings.

nasb@Malachi:0:10" @ Bring the whole tithe into the storehouse, so that there may be food in My house, and test Me now in this," says the LORD of hosts, "if I will not open for you the windows of heaven and pour out for you a blessing until it overflows.

nasb@Malachi:0:12" @ All the nations will call you blessed, for you shall be a delightful land," says the LORD of hosts.

nasb@Malachi:0:13" @Your words have been arrogant against Me," says the LORD. "Yet you say, 'What have we spoken against You?'

nasb@Malachi:0:14" @You have said, 'It is vain to serve God; and what profit is it that we have kept His charge, and that we have walked in mourning before the LORD of hosts?

nasb@Malachi:0:16 @Then those who feared the LORD spoke to one another, and the LORD gave attention and heard it, and a book of remembrance was written before Him for those who fear the LORD and who esteem His name.

nasb@Malachi:0:17" @They will be Mine," says the LORD of hosts, "on the day that I prepare My own possession, and I will spare them as a man spares his own son who serves him."

nasb@Malachi:0:18 @So you will again distinguish between the righteous and the wicked, between one who serves God and one who does not serve Him.

nasb@Malachi:0:4" @For behold, the day is coming, burning like a furnace; and all the arrogant and every evildoer will be chaff; and the day that is coming will set them ablaze," says the LORD of hosts, "so that it will leave them neither root nor branch."

nasb@Malachi:0:3" @You will tread down the wicked, for they will be ashes under the soles of your feet on the day which I am preparing," says the LORD of hosts.

nasb@Malachi:0:4" @ Remember the law of Moses My servant, even the statutes and ordinances which I commanded him in Horeb for all Israel.
