nasb@Joshua:0:5" @ No man will be able to stand before you all the days of your life. Just as I have been with Moses, I will be with you; I will not fail you or forsake you.

nasb@Joshua:1:14 @So the men said to her, "Our life for yours if you do not tell this business of ours; and it shall come about when the LORD gives us the land that we will deal kindly and faithfully with you."

nasb@Joshua:1:19" @It shall come about that anyone who goes out of the doors of your house into the street, his blood shall be on his own head, and we shall be free; but anyone who is with you in the house, his blood shall be on our head if a hand is laid on him.

nasb@Joshua:1:20" @But if you tell this business of ours, then we shall be free from the oath which you have made us swear."

nasb@Joshua:2:14 @On that day the LORD exalted Joshua in the sight of all Israel; so that they revered him, just as they had revered Moses all the days of his life.

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: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: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:5:21 @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:5:31 @just as Moses the servant of the LORD had commanded the sons of Israel, as it is written in the book of the law of Moses, an altar of uncut stones on which no man had wielded an iron tool; and they offered burnt offerings on it to the LORD, and sacrificed peace offerings.

nasb@Joshua:7:20 @It came about when Joshua and the sons of Israel had finished slaying them with a very great slaughter, until they were destroyed, and the survivors who remained of them had entered the fortified cities,

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:11:16 @And Caleb said, "The one who attacks Kiriath-sepher and captures it, I will give him Achsah my daughter as a wife."

nasb@Joshua:11:17 @Othniel the son of Kenaz, the brother of Caleb, captured it; so he gave him Achsah his daughter as a wife.

nasb@Joshua:13:15 @Joshua said to them, "If you are a numerous people, go up to the forest and clear a place for yourself there in the land of the Perizzites and of the Rephaim, since the hill country of Ephraim is too narrow for you."

nasb@Joshua:15:24 @Now the fifth lot fell to the tribe of the sons of Asher according to their families.

nasb@Joshua:15:29 @The border turned to Ramah and to the fortified city of Tyre; then the border turned to Hosah, and it ended at the sea by the region of Achzib.

nasb@Joshua:15:35 @The fortified cities were Ziddim, Zer and Hammath, Rakkath and Chinnereth,

nasb@Joshua:15:5 @'Now if the avenger of blood pursues him, then they shall not deliver the manslayer into his hand, because he struck his neighbor without premeditation and did not hate him beforehand.

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:17:22" @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:17:23" @If we have built us an altar to turn away from following the LORD, or if to offer a burnt offering or grain offering on it, or if to offer sacrifices of peace offerings on it, may the LORD Himself require it.

nasb@Joshua:17:26" @Therefore we said, 'Let us build an altar, not for burnt offering or for sacrifice;

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:18:12" @For if you ever go back and cling to the rest of these nations, these which remain among you, and intermarry with them, so that you associate with them and they with you,

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:19:20" @ If you forsake the LORD and serve foreign gods, then He will turn and do you harm and consume you after He has done good to you."

nasb@Judges:1:12 @And Caleb said, "The one who attacks Kiriath-sepher and captures it, I will even give him my daughter Achsah for a wife."

nasb@Judges:1:13 @Othniel the son of Kenaz, Caleb's younger brother, captured it; so he gave him his daughter Achsah for a wife.

nasb@Judges:2:4 @When the angel of the LORD spoke these words to all the sons of Israel, the people lifted up their voices and wept.

nasb@Judges:2:5 @So they named that place Bochim; and there they sacrificed to the LORD.

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:4:4 @Now Deborah, a prophetess, the wife of Lappidoth, was judging Israel at that time.

nasb@Judges:4:8 @Then Barak said to her, "If you will go with me, then I will go; but if you will not go with me, I will not go."

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:4:20 @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:4:24" @ Most blessed of women is Jael, The wife of Heber the Kenite; Most blessed is she of women in the tent.

nasb@Judges:4:25" @He asked for water and she gave him milk; In a magnificent bowl she brought him curds.

nasb@Judges:5:13 @Then Gideon said to him, "O my lord, if the LORD is with us, why then has all this happened to us? And where are all His miracles which our fathers told us about, saying, 'Did not the LORD bring us up from Egypt?' But now the LORD has abandoned us and given us into the hand of Midian."

nasb@Judges:5:17 @So Gideon said to Him, "If now I have found favor in Your sight, then show me a sign that it is You who speak with me.

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:5:36 @Then Gideon said to God, " If You will deliver Israel through me, as You have spoken,

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:6:10" @But if you are afraid to go down, go with Purah your servant down to the camp,

nasb@Judges:7:19 @He said, "They were my brothers, the sons of my mother. As the LORD lives, if only you had let them live, I would not kill you."

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:7:7 @Now when they told Jotham, he went and stood on the top of Mount Gerizim, and lifted his voice and called out. Thus he said to them, "Listen to me, O men of Shechem, that God may listen to you.

nasb@Judges:7:15" @The bramble said to the trees, 'If in truth you are anointing me as king over you, come and take refuge in my shade; but if not, may fire come out from the bramble and consume the cedars of Lebanon.'

nasb@Judges:7:16" @Now therefore, if you have dealt in truth and integrity in making Abimelech king, and if you have dealt well with Jerubbaal and his house, and have dealt with him as he deserved--

nasb@Judges:7:17 @for my father fought for you and risked his life and delivered you from the hand of Midian;

nasb@Judges:7:19 @if then you have dealt in truth and integrity with Jerubbaal and his house this day, rejoice in Abimelech, and let him also rejoice in you.

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:7:36 @When Gaal saw the people, he said to Zebul, "Look, people are coming down from the tops of the mountains." But Zebul said to him, "You are seeing the shadow of the mountains as if they were men."

nasb@Judges:7:48 @So Abimelech went up to Mount Zalmon, he and all the people who were with him; and Abimelech took an axe in his hand and cut down a branch from the trees, and lifted it and laid it on his shoulder. Then he said to the people who were with him, "What you have seen me do, hurry and do likewise."

nasb@Judges:9:2 @Gilead's wife bore him sons; and when his wife's sons grew up, they drove Jephthah out and said to him, "You shall not have an inheritance in our father's house, for you are the son of another woman."

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:9:30 @Jephthah made a vow to the LORD and said, "If You will indeed give the sons of Ammon into my hand,

nasb@Judges:10:2 @Jephthah said to them, "I and my people were at great strife with the sons of Ammon; when I called you, you did not deliver me from their hand.

nasb@Judges:10:3" @When I saw that you would not deliver me, I took my life in my hands and crossed over against the sons of Ammon, and the LORD gave them into my hand. Why then have you come up to me this day to fight against me?"

nasb@Judges:10:5 @The Gileadites captured the fords of the Jordan opposite Ephraim. And it happened when any of the fugitives of Ephraim said, "Let me cross over," the men of Gilead would say to him, "Are you an Ephraimite?" If he said, "No,"

nasb@Judges:11:2 @There was a certain man of Zorah, of the family of the Danites, whose name was Manoah; and his wife was barren and had borne no children.

nasb@Judges:11:11 @Then Manoah arose and followed his wife, and when he came to the man he said to him, "Are you the man who spoke to the woman?" And he said, "I am."

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:11:16 @The angel of the LORD said to Manoah, "Though you detain me, I will not eat your food, but if you prepare a burnt offering, then offer it to the LORD." For Manoah did not know that he was the angel of the LORD.

nasb@Judges:11:19 @So Manoah took the young goat with the grain offering and offered it on the rock to the LORD, and He performed wonders while Manoah and his wife looked on.

nasb@Judges:11:20 @For it came about when the flame went up from the altar toward heaven, that the angel of the LORD ascended in the flame of the altar. When Manoah and his wife saw this, they fell on their faces to the ground.

nasb@Judges:11:21 @Now the angel of the LORD did not appear to Manoah or his wife again. Then Manoah knew that he was the angel of the LORD.

nasb@Judges:11:22 @So Manoah said to his wife, " We will surely die, for we have seen God."

nasb@Judges:11:23 @But his wife said to him, "If the LORD had desired to kill us, He would not have accepted a burnt offering and a grain offering from our hands, nor would He have shown us all these things, nor would He have let us hear things like this at this time."

nasb@Judges:12:2 @So he came back and told his father and mother, "I saw a woman in Timnah, one of the daughters of the Philistines; now therefore, get her for me as a wife."

nasb@Judges:12:3 @Then his father and his mother said to him, "Is there no woman among the daughters of your relatives, or among all our people, that you go to take a wife from the uncircumcised Philistines?" But Samson said to his father, "Get her for me, for she looks good to me."

nasb@Judges:12:12 @Then Samson said to them, "Let me now propound a riddle to you; if you will indeed tell it to me within the seven days of the feast, and find it out, then I will give you thirty linen wraps and thirty changes of clothes.

nasb@Judges:12:13" @But if you are unable to tell me, then you shall give me thirty linen wraps and thirty changes of clothes." And they said to him, "Propound your riddle, that we may hear it."

nasb@Judges:12:15 @Then it came about on the fourth day that they said to Samson's wife, " Entice your husband, so that he will tell us the riddle, or we will burn you and your father's house with fire. Have you invited us to impoverish us? Is this not so?"

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:12:18 @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:13:1 @But after a while, in the time of wheat harvest, Samson visited his wife with a young goat, and said, "I will go in to my wife in her room." But her father did not let him enter.

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:13:6 @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: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:14:11 @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:14:23 @Now the lords of the Philistines assembled to offer a great sacrifice to Dagon their god, and to rejoice, for they said, "Our god has given Samson our enemy into our hands."

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: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:17:8 @On the fifth day he arose to go early in the morning, and the girl's father said, "Please sustain yourself, and wait until afternoon"; so both of them ate.

nasb@Judges:17:17 @And he lifted up his eyes and saw the traveler in the open square of the city; and the old man said, "Where are you going, and where do you come from?"

nasb@Judges:17:29 @When he entered his house, he took a knife and laid hold of his concubine and cut her in twelve pieces, limb by limb, and sent her throughout the territory of Israel.

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: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:19:18" @But we cannot give them wives of our daughters." For the sons of Israel had sworn, saying, "Cursed is he who gives a wife to Benjamin."

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@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:1:9" @May the LORD grant that you may find rest, each in the house of her husband." Then she kissed them, and they lifted up their voices and wept.

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:1:14 @And they lifted up their voices and wept again; and Orpah kissed her mother-in-law, but Ruth clung to her.

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:2:13" @Remain this night, and when morning comes, if he will redeem you, good; let him redeem you. But if he does not wish to redeem you, then I will redeem you, as the LORD lives. Lie down until morning."

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:3:10" @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:3:13 @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:3:15" @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@1Samuel:1:3 @Now this man would go up from his city yearly to worship and to sacrifice to the LORD of hosts in Shiloh. And the two sons of Eli, Hophni and Phinehas, were priests to the LORD there.

nasb@1Samuel:1:4 @When the day came that Elkanah sacrificed, he would give portions to Peninnah his wife and to all her sons and her daughters;

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:1:19 @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:1:21 @Then the man Elkanah went up with all his household to offer to the LORD the yearly sacrifice and pay his vow.

nasb@1Samuel:2:8" @ He raises the poor from the dust, He lifts the needy from the ash heap To make them sit with nobles, And inherit a seat of honor; For the pillars of the earth are the LORD'S, And He set the world on them.

nasb@1Samuel:2:13 @and the custom of the priests with the people. When any man was offering a sacrifice, the priest's servant would come while the meat was boiling, with a three-pronged fork in his hand.

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:2:16 @If the man said to him, "They must surely burn the fat first, and then take as much as you desire," then he would say, "No, but you shall give it to me now; and if not, I will take it by force."

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:2:20 @Then Eli would bless Elkanah and his wife and say, "May the LORD give you children from this woman in place of the one she dedicated to the LORD." And they went to their own home.

nasb@1Samuel:2:25" @If one man sins against another, God will mediate for him; but if a man sins against the LORD, who can intercede for him?" But they would not listen to the voice of their father, for the LORD desired to put them to death.

nasb@1Samuel:2:29 @'Why do you kick at My sacrifice and at My offering which I have commanded in My dwelling, and honor your sons above Me, by making yourselves fat with the choicest of every offering of My people Israel?'

nasb@1Samuel:2:33 @'Yet I will not cut off every man of yours from My altar so that your eyes will fail from weeping and your soul grieve, and all the increase of your house will die in the prime of life.

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:3:14" @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:3:17 @He said, "What is the word that He spoke to you? Please do not hide it from me. May God do so to you, and more also, if you hide anything from me of all the words that He spoke to you."

nasb@1Samuel:4:19 @Now his daughter-in-law, Phinehas's wife, was pregnant and about to give birth; and when she heard the news that the ark of God was taken and that her father-in-law and her husband had died, she kneeled down and gave birth, for her pains came upon her.

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:6:9" @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:6:15 @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:7:3 @Then Samuel spoke to all the house of Israel, saying, " If you return to the LORD with all your heart, remove the foreign gods and the Ashtaroth from among you and direct your hearts to the LORD and serve Him alone; and He will deliver you from the hand of the Philistines."

nasb@1Samuel:7:15 @Now Samuel judged Israel all the days of his life.

nasb@1Samuel:8:12" @ He will appoint for himself commanders of thousands and of fifties, and some to do his plowing and to reap his harvest and to make his weapons of war and equipment for his chariots.

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:9:12 @They answered them and said, "He is; see, he is ahead of you. Hurry now, for he has come into the city today, for the people have a sacrifice on the high place today.

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;
