rsv@Genesis:12:15 @ And when the princes of Pharaoh saw her, they praised her to Pharaoh. And the woman was taken into Pharaoh's house.

rsv@Genesis:12:16 @ And for her sake he dealt well with Abram; and he had sheep, oxen, he-asses, menservants, maidservants, she-asses, and camels.

rsv@Genesis:13:4 @ to the place where he had made an altar at the first; and there Abram called on the name of the LORD.

rsv@Genesis:13:5 @ And Lot, who went with Abram, also had flocks and herds and tents,

rsv@Genesis:13:6 @ so that the land could not support both of them dwelling together; for their possessions were so great that they could not dwell together,

rsv@Genesis:13:7 @ and there was strife between the herdsmen of Abram's cattle and the herdsmen of Lot's cattle. At that time the Canaanites and the Per'izzites dwelt in the land.

rsv@Genesis:13:8 @ Then Abram said to Lot, "Let there be no strife between you and me, and between your herdsmen and my herdsmen; for we are kinsmen.

rsv@Genesis:13:10 @ And Lot lifted up his eyes, and saw that the Jordan valley was well watered everywhere like the garden of the LORD, like the land of Egypt, in the direction of Zo'ar; this was before the LORD destroyed Sodom and Gomor'rah.

rsv@Genesis:13:11 @ So Lot chose for himself all the Jordan valley, and Lot journeyed east; thus they separated from each other.

rsv@Genesis:13:14 @ The LORD said to Abram, after Lot had separated from him, "Lift up your eyes, and look from the place where you are, northward and southward and eastward and westward;

rsv@Genesis:13:18 @ So Abram moved his tent, and came and dwelt by the oaks of Mamre, which are at Hebron; and there he built an altar to the LORD.

rsv@Genesis:14:12 @ they also took Lot, the son of Abram's brother, who dwelt in Sodom, and his goods, and departed.

rsv@Genesis:14:13 @ Then one who had escaped came, and told Abram the Hebrew, who was living by the oaks of Mamre the Amorite, brother of Eshcol and of Aner; these were allies of Abram.

rsv@Genesis:15:10 @ And he brought him all these, cut them in two, and laid each half over against the other; but he did not cut the birds in two.

rsv@Genesis:15:13 @ Then the LORD said to Abram, "Know of a surety that your descendants will be sojourners in a land that is not theirs, and will be slaves there, and they will be oppressed for four hundred years;

rsv@Genesis:15:15 @ As for yourself, you shall go to your fathers in peace; you shall be buried in a good old age.

rsv@Genesis:15:16 @ And they shall come back here in the fourth generation; for the iniquity of the Amorites is not yet complete."

rsv@Genesis:16:2 @ and Sar'ai said to Abram, "Behold now, the LORD has prevented me from bearing children; go in to my maid; it may be that I shall obtain children by her." And Abram hearkened to the voice of Sar'ai.

rsv@Genesis:16:3 @ So, after Abram had dwelt ten years in the land of Canaan, Sar'ai, Abram's wife, took Hagar the Egyptian, her maid, and gave her to Abram her husband as a wife.

rsv@Genesis:16:4 @ And he went in to Hagar, and she conceived; and when she saw that she had conceived, she looked with contempt on her mistress.

rsv@Genesis:16:6 @ But Abram said to Sar'ai, "Behold, your maid is in your power; do to her as you please." Then Sar'ai dealt harshly with her, and she fled from her.

rsv@Genesis:16:7 @ The angel of the LORD found her by a spring of water in the wilderness, the spring on the way to Shur.

rsv@Genesis:16:8 @ And he said, "Hagar, maid of Sar'ai, where have you come from and where are you going?" She said, "I am fleeing from my mistress Sar'ai."

rsv@Genesis:16:9 @ The angel of the LORD said to her, "Return to your mistress, and submit to her."

rsv@Genesis:16:10 @ The angel of the LORD also said to her, "I will so greatly multiply your descendants that they cannot be numbered for multitude."

rsv@Genesis:16:11 @ And the angel of the LORD said to her, "Behold, you are with child, and shall bear a son; you shall call his name Ish'mael; because the LORD has given heed to your affliction.

rsv@Genesis:16:13 @ So she called the name of the LORD who spoke to her, "Thou art a God of seeing"; for she said, "Have I really seen God and remained alive after seeing him?"

rsv@Genesis:16:14 @ Therefore the well was called Beer-la'hai-roi; it lies between Kadesh and Bered.

rsv@Genesis:17:4 @ "Behold, my covenant is with you, and you shall be the father of a multitude of nations.

rsv@Genesis:17:5 @ No longer shall your name be Abram, but your name shall be Abraham; for I have made you the father of a multitude of nations.

rsv@Genesis:17:12 @ He that is eight days old among you shall be circumcised; every male throughout your generations, whether born in your house, or bought with your money from any foreigner who is not of your offspring,

rsv@Genesis:17:15 @ And God said to Abraham, "As for Sar'ai your wife, you shall not call her name Sar'ai, but Sarah shall be her name.

rsv@Genesis:17:16 @ I will bless her, and moreover I will give you a son by her; I will bless her, and she shall be a mother of nations; kings of peoples shall come from her."

rsv@Genesis:17:20 @ As for Ish'mael, I have heard you; behold, I will bless him and make him fruitful and multiply him exceedingly; he shall be the father of twelve princes, and I will make him a great nation.

rsv@Genesis:18:7 @ And Abraham ran to the herd, and took a calf, tender and good, and gave it to the servant, who hastened to prepare it.

rsv@Genesis:18:9 @ They said to him, "Where is Sarah your wife?" And he said, "She is in the tent."

rsv@Genesis:18:12 @ So Sarah laughed to herself, saying, "After I have grown old, and my husband is old, shall I have pleasure?"

rsv@Genesis:18:16 @ Then the men set out from there, and they looked toward Sodom; and Abraham went with them to set them on their way.

rsv@Genesis:18:21 @ I will go down to see whether they have done altogether according to the outcry which has come to me; and if not, I will know."

rsv@Genesis:18:22 @ So the men turned from there, and went toward Sodom; but Abraham still stood before the LORD.

rsv@Genesis:18:24 @ Suppose there are fifty righteous within the city; wilt thou then destroy the place and not spare it for the fifty righteous who are in it?

rsv@Genesis:18:28 @ Suppose five of the fifty righteous are lacking? Wilt thou destroy the whole city for lack of five?" And he said, "I will not destroy it if I find forty-five there."

rsv@Genesis:18:29 @ Again he spoke to him, and said, "Suppose forty are found there." He answered, "For the sake of forty I will not do it."

rsv@Genesis:18:30 @ Then he said, "Oh let not the Lord be angry, and I will speak. Suppose thirty are found there." He answered, "I will not do it, if I find thirty there."

rsv@Genesis:18:31 @ He said, "Behold, I have taken upon myself to speak to the Lord. Suppose twenty are found there." He answered, "For the sake of twenty I will not destroy it."

rsv@Genesis:18:32 @ Then he said, "Oh let not the Lord be angry, and I will speak again but this once. Suppose ten are found there." He answered, "For the sake of ten I will not destroy it."

rsv@Genesis:19:5 @ and they called to Lot, "Where are the men who came to you tonight? Bring them out to us, that we may know them."

rsv@Genesis:19:7 @ and said, "I beg you, my brothers, do not act so wickedly.

rsv@Genesis:19:12 @ Then the men said to Lot, "Have you any one else here? Sons-in-law, sons, daughters, or any one you have in the city, bring them out of the place;

rsv@Genesis:19:15 @ When morning dawned, the angels urged Lot, saying, "Arise, take your wife and your two daughters who are here, lest you be consumed in the punishment of the city."

rsv@Genesis:19:17 @ And when they had brought them forth, they said, "Flee for your life; do not look back or stop anywhere in the valley; flee to the hills, lest you be consumed."

rsv@Genesis:19:20 @ Behold, yonder city is near enough to flee to, and it is a little one. Let me escape there--is it not a little one?--and my life will be saved!"

rsv@Genesis:19:22 @ Make haste, escape there; for I can do nothing till you arrive there." Therefore the name of the city was called Zo'ar.

rsv@Genesis:19:27 @ And Abraham went early in the morning to the place where he had stood before the LORD;

rsv@Genesis:19:31 @ And the first-born said to the younger, "Our father is old, and there is not a man on earth to come in to us after the manner of all the earth.

rsv@Genesis:19:32 @ Come, let us make our father drink wine, and we will lie with him, that we may preserve offspring through our father."

rsv@Genesis:19:33 @ So they made their father drink wine that night; and the first-born went in, and lay with her father; he did not know when she lay down or when she arose.

rsv@Genesis:19:34 @ And on the next day, the first-born 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 offspring through our father."

rsv@Genesis:19:35 @ So they made their father drink wine that night also; and the younger arose, and lay with him; and he did not know when she lay down or when she arose.

rsv@Genesis:19:36 @ Thus both the daughters of Lot were with child by their father.

rsv@Genesis:19:37 @ The first-born bore a son, and called his name Moab; he is the father of the Moabites to this day.

rsv@Genesis:19:38 @ The younger also bore a son, and called his name Ben-ammi; he is the father of the Ammonites to this day.

rsv@Genesis:20:1 @ From there Abraham journeyed toward the territory of the Negeb, and dwelt between Kadesh and Shur; and he sojourned in Gerar.

rsv@Genesis:20:4 @ Now Abim'elech had not approached her; so he said, "Lord, wilt thou slay an innocent people?

rsv@Genesis:20:5 @ Did he not himself say to me, `She is my sister'? And she herself said, `He is my brother.' In the integrity of my heart and the innocence of my hands I have done this."

rsv@Genesis:20:6 @ Then God said to him in the dream, "Yes, I know that you have done this in the integrity of your heart, and it was I who kept you from sinning against me; therefore I did not let you touch her.

rsv@Genesis:20:7 @ Now then restore the man's wife; for he is a prophet, and he will pray for you, and you shall live. But if you do not restore her, know that you shall surely die, you, and all that are yours."

rsv@Genesis:20:11 @ Abraham said, "I did it because I thought, There is no fear of God at all in this place, and they will kill me because of my wife.

rsv@Genesis:20:12 @ Besides she is indeed my sister, the daughter of my father but not the daughter of my mother; and she became my wife.

rsv@Genesis:20:13 @ And when God caused me to wander from my father's house, I said to her, `This is the kindness you must do me: at every place to which we come, say of me, He is my brother.'"

rsv@Genesis:20:15 @ And Abim'elech said, "Behold, my land is before you; dwell where it pleases you."

rsv@Genesis:20:16 @ To Sarah he said, "Behold, I have given your brother a thousand pieces of silver; it is your vindication in the eyes of all who are with you; and before every one you are righted."

rsv@Genesis:21:9 @ But Sarah saw the son of Hagar the Egyptian, whom she had borne to Abraham, playing with her son Isaac.

rsv@Genesis:21:10 @ So she said to Abraham, "Cast out this slave woman with her son; for the son of this slave woman shall not be heir with my son Isaac."

rsv@Genesis:21:14 @ So Abraham rose early in the morning, and took bread and a skin of water, and gave it to Hagar, putting it on her shoulder, along with the child, and sent her away. And she departed, and wandered in the wilderness of Beer-sheba.

rsv@Genesis:21:17 @ And God heard the voice of the lad; and the angel of God called to Hagar from heaven, and said to her, "What troubles you, Hagar? Fear not; for God has heard the voice of the lad where he is.

rsv@Genesis:21:19 @ Then God opened her eyes, and she saw a well of water; and she went, and filled the skin with water, and gave the lad a drink.

rsv@Genesis:21:21 @ He lived in the wilderness of Paran; and his mother took a wife for him from the land of Egypt.

rsv@Genesis:21:23 @ now therefore swear to me here by God that you will not deal falsely with me or with my offspring or with my posterity, but as I have dealt loyally with you, you will deal with me and with the land where you have sojourned."

rsv@Genesis:21:31 @ Therefore that place was called Beer-sheba; because there both of them swore an oath.

rsv@Genesis:21:33 @ Abraham planted a tamarisk tree in Beer-sheba, and called there on the name of the LORD, the Everlasting God.

rsv@Genesis:22:1 @ After these things God tested Abraham, and said to him, "Abraham!" And he said, "Here am I."

rsv@Genesis:22:2 @ He said, "Take your son, your only son Isaac, whom you love, and go to the land of Mori'ah, and offer him there as a burnt offering upon one of the mountains of which I shall tell you."

rsv@Genesis:22:5 @ Then Abraham said to his young men, "Stay here with the ass; I and the lad will go yonder and worship, and come again to you."

rsv@Genesis:22:6 @ And Abraham took the wood of the burnt offering, and laid it on Isaac his son; and he took in his hand the fire and the knife. So they went both of them together.

rsv@Genesis:22:7 @ And Isaac said to his father Abraham, "My father!" And he said, "Here am I, my son." He said, "Behold, the fire and the wood; but where is the lamb for a burnt offering?"

rsv@Genesis:22:8 @ Abraham said, "God will provide himself the lamb for a burnt offering, my son." So they went both of them together.

rsv@Genesis:22:9 @ When they came to the place of which God had told him, Abraham built an altar there, and laid the wood in order, and bound Isaac his son, and laid him on the altar, upon the wood.

rsv@Genesis:22:11 @ But the angel of the LORD called to him from heaven, and said, "Abraham, Abraham!" And he said, "Here am I."

rsv@Genesis:22:19 @ So Abraham returned to his young men, and they arose and went together to Beer-sheba; and Abraham dwelt at Beer-sheba.

rsv@Genesis:22:20 @ Now after these things it was told Abraham, "Behold, Milcah also has borne children to your brother Nahor:

rsv@Genesis:22:21 @ Uz the first-born, Buz his brother, Kemu'el the father of Aram,

rsv@Genesis:22:23 @ Bethu'el became the father of Rebekah. These eight Milcah bore to Nahor, Abraham's brother.

rsv@Genesis:23:2 @ And Sarah died at Kir'iath-ar'ba (that is, Hebron) in the land of Canaan; and Abraham went in to mourn for Sarah and to weep for her.

rsv@Genesis:23:13 @ And he said to Ephron in the hearing of the people of the land, "But if you will, hear me; I will give the price of the field; accept it from me, that I may bury my dead there."

rsv@Genesis:24:6 @ Abraham said to him, "See to it that you do not take my son back there.

rsv@Genesis:24:7 @ 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 swore to me, `To your descendants I will give this land,' he will send his angel before you, and you shall take a wife for my son from there.

rsv@Genesis:24:8 @ But if the woman is not willing to follow you, then you will be free from this oath of mine; only you must not take my son back there."

rsv@Genesis:24:14 @ Let the maiden to whom I shall say, `Pray let down your jar that I may drink,' and who shall say, `Drink, and I will water your camels'--let her be the one whom thou hast appointed for thy servant Isaac. By this I shall know that thou hast shown steadfast love to my master."

rsv@Genesis:24:15 @ Before he had done speaking, behold, Rebekah, who was born to Bethu'el the son of Milcah, the wife of Nahor, Abraham's brother, came out with her water jar upon her shoulder.

rsv@Genesis:24:16 @ The maiden was very fair to look upon, a virgin, whom no man had known. She went down to the spring, and filled her jar, and came up.

rsv@Genesis:24:17 @ Then the servant ran to meet her, and said, "Pray give me a little water to drink from your jar."

rsv@Genesis:24:18 @ She said, "Drink, my lord"; and she quickly let down her jar upon her hand, and gave him a drink.

rsv@Genesis:24:20 @ So she quickly emptied her jar into the trough and ran again to the well to draw, and she drew for all his camels.

rsv@Genesis:24:21 @ The man gazed at her in silence to learn whether the LORD had prospered his journey or not.

rsv@Genesis:24:22 @ When the camels had done drinking, the man took a gold ring weighing a half shekel, and two bracelets for her arms weighing ten gold shekels,

rsv@Genesis:24:23 @ and said, "Tell me whose daughter you are. Is there room in your father's house for us to lodge in?"

rsv@Genesis:24:28 @ Then the maiden ran and told her mother's household about these things.

rsv@Genesis:24:29 @ Rebekah had a brother whose name was Laban; and Laban ran out to the man, to the spring.

rsv@Genesis:24:35 @ The LORD has greatly blessed my master, and he has become great; he has given him flocks and herds, silver and gold, menservants and maidservants, camels and asses.

rsv@Genesis:24:38 @ but you shall go to my father's house and to my kindred, and take a wife for my son.'

rsv@Genesis:24:40 @ But he said to me, `The LORD, before whom I walk, will send his angel with you and prosper your way; and you shall take a wife for my son from my kindred and from my father's house;

rsv@Genesis:24:41 @ then you will be free from my oath, when you come to my kindred; and if they will not give her to you, you will be free from my oath.'

rsv@Genesis:24:44 @ and who will say to me, "Drink, and I will draw for your camels also," let her be the woman whom the LORD has appointed for my master's son.'

rsv@Genesis:24:45 @ "Before I had done speaking in my heart, behold, Rebekah came out with her water jar on her shoulder; and she went down to the spring, and drew. I said to her, `Pray let me drink.'

rsv@Genesis:24:46 @ She quickly let down her jar from her shoulder, and said, `Drink, and I will give your camels drink also.' So I drank, and she gave the camels drink also.

rsv@Genesis:24:47 @ Then I asked her, `Whose daughter are you?' She said, The daughter of Bethu'el, Nahor's son, whom Milcah bore to him.' So I put the ring on her nose, and the bracelets on her arms.

rsv@Genesis:24:51 @ Behold, Rebekah is before you, take her and go, and let her be the wife of your master's son, as the LORD has spoken."

rsv@Genesis:24:53 @ And the servant brought forth jewelry of silver and of gold, and raiment, and gave them to Rebekah; he also gave to her brother and to her mother costly ornaments.

rsv@Genesis:24:54 @ And he and the men who were with him ate and drank, and they spent the night there. When they arose in the morning, he said, "Send me back to my master."

rsv@Genesis:24:55 @ Her brother and her mother said, "Let the maiden remain with us a while, at least ten days; after that she may go."

rsv@Genesis:24:57 @ They said, "We will call the maiden, and ask her."

rsv@Genesis:24:58 @ And they called Rebekah, and said to her, "Will you go with this man?" She said, "I will go."

rsv@Genesis:24:59 @ So they sent away Rebekah their sister and her nurse, and Abraham's servant and his men.

rsv@Genesis:24:60 @ And they blessed Rebekah, and said to her, "Our sister, be the mother of thousands of ten thousands; and may your descendants possess the gate of those who hate them!"

rsv@Genesis:24:61 @ Then Rebekah and her maids arose, and rode upon the camels and followed the man; thus the servant took Rebekah, and went his way.

rsv@Genesis:24:63 @ And Isaac went out to meditate in the field in the evening; and he lifted up his eyes and looked, and behold, there were camels coming.

rsv@Genesis:24:64 @ And Rebekah lifted up her eyes, and when she saw Isaac, she alighted from the camel,

rsv@Genesis:24:65 @ and said to the servant, "Who is the man yonder, walking in the field to meet us?" The servant said, "It is my master." So she took her veil and covered herself.

rsv@Genesis:24:67 @ Then Isaac brought her into the tent, and took Rebekah, and she became his wife; and he loved her. So Isaac was comforted after his mother's death.

rsv@Genesis:25:1 @ Abraham took another wife, whose name was Ketu'rah.

rsv@Genesis:25:3 @ Jokshan was the father of Sheba and Dedan. The sons of Dedan were Asshu'rim, Letu'shim, and Le-um'mim.

rsv@Genesis:25:4 @ The sons of Mid'ian were Ephah, Epher, Hanoch, Abi'da, and Elda'ah. All these were the children of Ketu'rah.

rsv@Genesis:25:8 @ Abraham breathed his last and died in a good old age, an old man and full of years, and was gathered to his people.

rsv@Genesis:25:17 @ (These are the years of the life of Ish'mael, a hundred and thirty-seven years; he breathed his last and died, and was gathered to his kindred.)

rsv@Genesis:25:19 @ These are the descendants of Isaac, Abraham's son: Abraham was the father of Isaac,

rsv@Genesis:25:22 @ The children struggled together within her; and she said, "If it is thus, why do I live?" So she went to inquire of the LORD.

rsv@Genesis:25:23 @ And the LORD said to her, "Two nations are in your womb, and two peoples, born of you, shall be divided; the one shall be stronger than the other, the elder shall serve the younger."

rsv@Genesis:25:24 @ When her days to be delivered were fulfilled, behold, there were twins in her womb.

rsv@Genesis:25:26 @ Afterward his brother came forth, and his hand had taken hold of Esau's heel; so his name was called Jacob. Isaac was sixty years old when she bore them.

rsv@Genesis:25:30 @ And Esau said to Jacob, "Let me eat some of that red pottage, for I am famished!" (Therefore his name was called Edom.)

rsv@Genesis:26:1 @ Now there was a famine in the land, besides the former famine that was in the days of Abraham. And Isaac went to Gerar, to Abim'elech king of the Philistines.

rsv@Genesis:26:3 @ Sojourn in this land, and I will be with you, and will bless you; for to you and to your descendants I will give all these lands, and I will fulfil the oath which I swore to Abraham your father.

rsv@Genesis:26:8 @ When he had been there a long time, Abim'elech king of the Philistines looked out of a window and saw Isaac fondling Rebekah his wife.

rsv@Genesis:26:9 @ So Abim'elech called Isaac, and said, "Behold, she is your wife; how then could you say, `She is my sister'?" Isaac said to him, "Because I thought, `Lest I die because of her.'"

rsv@Genesis:26:14 @ He had possessions of flocks and herds, and a great household, so that the Philistines envied him.

rsv@Genesis:26:15 @ (Now the Philistines had stopped and filled with earth all the wells which his father's servants had dug in the days of Abraham his father.)

rsv@Genesis:26:17 @ So Isaac departed from there, and encamped in the valley of Gerar and dwelt there.

rsv@Genesis:26:18 @ And Isaac dug again the wells of water which had been dug in the days of Abraham his father; for the Philistines had stopped them after the death of Abraham; and he gave them the names which his father had given them.

rsv@Genesis:26:19 @ But when Isaac's servants dug in the valley and found there a well of springing water,

rsv@Genesis:26:20 @ the herdsmen of Gerar quarreled with Isaac's herdsmen, saying, "The water is ours." So he called the name of the well Esek, because they contended with him.

rsv@Genesis:26:21 @ Then they dug another well, and they quarreled over that also; so he called its name Sitnah.

rsv@Genesis:26:22 @ And he moved from there and dug another well, and over that they did not quarrel; so he called its name Reho'both, saying, "For now the LORD has made room for us, and we shall be fruitful in the land."

rsv@Genesis:26:23 @ From there he went up to Beer-sheba.

rsv@Genesis:26:24 @ And the LORD appeared to him the same night and said, "I am the God of Abraham your father; fear not, for I am with you and will bless you and multiply your descendants for my servant Abraham's sake."

rsv@Genesis:26:25 @ So he built an altar there and called upon the name of the LORD, and pitched his tent there. And there Isaac's servants dug a well.

rsv@Genesis:26:28 @ They said, "We see plainly that the LORD is with you; so we say, let there be an oath between you and us, and let us make a covenant with you,

rsv@Genesis:26:31 @ In the morning they rose early and took oath with one another; and Isaac set them on their way, and they departed from him in peace.

rsv@Genesis:26:33 @ He called it Shibah; therefore the name of the city is Beer-sheba to this day.

rsv@Genesis:27:1 @ When Isaac was old and his eyes were dim so that he could not see, he called Esau his older son, and said to him, "My son"; and he answered, "Here I am."

rsv@Genesis:27:6 @ Rebekah said to her son Jacob, "I heard your father speak to your brother Esau,

rsv@Genesis:27:8 @ Now therefore, my son, obey my word as I command you.

rsv@Genesis:27:9 @ Go to the flock, and fetch me two good kids, that I may prepare from them savory food for your father, such as he loves;

rsv@Genesis:27:10 @ and you shall bring it to your father to eat, so that he may bless you before he dies."

rsv@Genesis:27:11 @ But Jacob said to Rebekah his mother, "Behold, my brother Esau is a hairy man, and I am a smooth man.

rsv@Genesis:27:12 @ Perhaps my father will feel me, and I shall seem to be mocking him, and bring a curse upon myself and not a blessing."

rsv@Genesis:27:13 @ His mother said to him, "Upon me be your curse, my son; only obey my word, and go, fetch them to me."

rsv@Genesis:27:14 @ So he went and took them and brought them to his mother; and his mother prepared savory food, such as his father loved.

rsv@Genesis:27:15 @ Then Rebekah took the best garments of Esau her older son, which were with her in the house, and put them on Jacob her younger son;

rsv@Genesis:27:17 @ and she gave the savory food and the bread, which she had prepared, into the hand of her son Jacob.

rsv@Genesis:27:18 @ So he went in to his father, and said, "My father"; and he said, "Here I am; who are you, my son?"

rsv@Genesis:27:19 @ Jacob said to his father, "I am Esau your first-born. I have done as you told me; now sit up and eat of my game, that you may bless me."

rsv@Genesis:27:21 @ Then Isaac said to Jacob, "Come near, that I may feel you, my son, to know whether you are really my son Esau or not."

rsv@Genesis:27:22 @ So Jacob went near to Isaac his father, who felt him and said, "The voice is Jacob's voice, but the hands are the hands of Esau."

rsv@Genesis:27:23 @ And he did not recognize him, because his hands were hairy like his brother Esau's hands; so he blessed him.

rsv@Genesis:27:26 @ Then his father Isaac said to him, "Come near and kiss me, my son."

rsv@Genesis:27:29 @ Let peoples serve you, and nations bow down to you. Be lord over your brothers, and may your mother's sons bow down to you. Cursed be every one who curses you, and blessed be every one who blesses you!"

rsv@Genesis:27:30 @ As soon as Isaac had finished blessing Jacob, when Jacob had scarcely gone out from the presence of Isaac his father, Esau his brother came in from his hunting.

rsv@Genesis:27:31 @ He also prepared savory food, and brought it to his father. And he said to his father, "Let my father arise, and eat of his son's game, that you may bless me."

rsv@Genesis:27:32 @ His father Isaac said to him, "Who are you?" He answered, "I am your son, your first-born, Esau."

rsv@Genesis:27:34 @ When Esau heard the words of his father, he cried out with an exceedingly great and bitter cry, and said to his father, "Bless me, even me also, O my father!"

rsv@Genesis:27:35 @ But he said, "Your brother came with guile, and he has taken away your blessing."

rsv@Genesis:27:37 @ Isaac answered Esau, "Behold, I have made him your lord, and all his brothers I have given to him for servants, and with grain and wine I have sustained him. What then can I do for you, my son?"

rsv@Genesis:27:38 @ Esau said to his father, "Have you but one blessing, my father? Bless me, even me also, O my father." And Esau lifted up his voice and wept.

rsv@Genesis:27:39 @ Then Isaac his father answered him: "Behold, away from the fatness of the earth shall your dwelling be, and away from the dew of heaven on high.

rsv@Genesis:27:40 @ By your sword you shall live, and you shall serve your brother; but when you break loose you shall break his yoke from your neck."

rsv@Genesis:27:41 @ Now Esau hated 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 approaching; then I will kill my brother Jacob."

rsv@Genesis:27:42 @ But the words of Esau her older son were told to Rebekah; so she sent and called Jacob her younger son, and said to him, "Behold, your brother Esau comforts himself by planning to kill you.

rsv@Genesis:27:43 @ Now therefore, my son, obey my voice; arise, flee to Laban my brother in Haran,

rsv@Genesis:27:44 @ and stay with him a while, until your brother's fury turns away;

rsv@Genesis:27:45 @ until your brother's anger turns away, and he forgets what you have done to him; then I will send, and fetch you from there. Why should I be bereft of you both in one day?"

rsv@Genesis:28:2 @ Arise, go to Paddan-aram to the house of Bethu'el your mother's father; and take as wife from there one of the daughters of Laban your mother's brother.

rsv@Genesis:28:5 @ Thus Isaac sent Jacob away; and he went to Paddan-aram to Laban, the son of Bethu'el the Aramean, the brother of Rebekah, Jacob's and Esau's mother.

rsv@Genesis:28:6 @ Now Esau saw that Isaac had blessed Jacob and sent him away to Paddan-aram to take a wife from there, and that as he blessed him he charged him, "You shall not marry one of the Canaanite women,"

rsv@Genesis:28:7 @ and that Jacob had obeyed his father and his mother and gone to Paddan-aram.

rsv@Genesis:28:8 @ So when Esau saw that the Canaanite women did not please Isaac his father,

rsv@Genesis:28:11 @ And he came to a certain place, and stayed there that night, because the sun had set. Taking one of the stones of the place, he put it under his head and lay down in that place to sleep.

rsv@Genesis:28:12 @ And he dreamed that there was a ladder set up on the earth, and the top of it reached to heaven; and behold, the angels of God were ascending and descending on it!

rsv@Genesis:28:13 @ And behold, the LORD stood above it and said, "I am the LORD, the God of Abraham your father and the God of Isaac; the land on which you lie I will give to you and to your descendants;

rsv@Genesis:28:15 @ Behold, I am with you and will keep you wherever you go, and will bring you back to this land; for I will not leave you until I have done that of which I have spoken to you."

rsv@Genesis:28:17 @ And he was afraid, and said, "How awesome is this place! This is none other than the house of God, and this is the gate of heaven."

rsv@Genesis:28:21 @ so that I come again to my father's house in peace, then the LORD shall be my God,

rsv@Genesis:29:3 @ and when all the flocks were gathered there, the shepherds would roll the stone from the mouth of the well, and water the sheep, and put the stone back in its place upon the mouth of the well.

rsv@Genesis:29:4 @ Jacob said to them, "My brothers, where do you come from?" They said, "We are from Haran."

rsv@Genesis:29:7 @ He said, "Behold, it is still high day, it is not time for the animals to be gathered together; water the sheep, and go, pasture them."

rsv@Genesis:29:8 @ But they said, "We cannot until all the flocks are gathered together, and the stone is rolled from the mouth of the well; then we water the sheep."

rsv@Genesis:29:9 @ While he was still speaking with them, Rachel came with her father's sheep; for she kept them.

rsv@Genesis:29:10 @ Now when Jacob saw Rachel the daughter of Laban his mother's brother, and the sheep of Laban his mother's brother, Jacob went up and rolled the stone from the well's mouth, and watered the flock of Laban his mother's brother.

rsv@Genesis:29:12 @ And Jacob told Rachel that he was her father's kinsman, and that he was Rebekah's son; and she ran and told her father.

rsv@Genesis:29:15 @ Then Laban said to Jacob, "Because you are my kinsman, should you therefore serve me for nothing? Tell me, what shall your wages be?"

rsv@Genesis:29:19 @ Laban said, "It is better that I give her to you than that I should give her to any other man; stay with me."

rsv@Genesis:29:20 @ So Jacob served seven years for Rachel, and they seemed to him but a few days because of the love he had for her.

rsv@Genesis:29:21 @ Then Jacob said to Laban, "Give me my wife that I may go in to her, for my time is completed."

rsv@Genesis:29:22 @ So Laban gathered together all the men of the place, and made a feast.

rsv@Genesis:29:23 @ But in the evening he took his daughter Leah and brought her to Jacob; and he went in to her.

rsv@Genesis:29:24 @ (Laban gave his maid Zilpah to his daughter Leah to be her maid.)

rsv@Genesis:29:27 @ Complete the week of this one, and we will give you the other also in return for serving me another seven years."

rsv@Genesis:29:28 @ Jacob did so, and completed her week; then Laban gave him his daughter Rachel to wife.

rsv@Genesis:29:29 @ (Laban gave his maid Bilhah to his daughter Rachel to be her maid.)

rsv@Genesis:29:30 @ So Jacob went in to Rachel also, and he loved Rachel more than Leah, and served Laban for another seven years.

rsv@Genesis:29:31 @ When the LORD saw that Leah was hated, he opened her womb; but Rachel was barren.

rsv@Genesis:29:34 @ Again she conceived and bore a son, and said, "Now this time my husband will be joined to me, because I have borne him three sons"; therefore his name was called Levi.

rsv@Genesis:29:35 @ And she conceived again and bore a son, and said, "This time I will praise the LORD"; therefore she called his name Judah; then she ceased bearing.

rsv@Genesis:30:1 @ When Rachel saw that she bore Jacob no children, she envied her sister; and she said to Jacob, "Give me children, or I shall die!"

rsv@Genesis:30:3 @ Then she said, "Here is my maid Bilhah; go in to her, that she may bear upon my knees, and even I may have children through her."

rsv@Genesis:30:4 @ So she gave him her maid Bilhah as a wife; and Jacob went in to her.

rsv@Genesis:30:6 @ Then Rachel said, "God has judged me, and has also heard my voice and given me a son"; therefore she called his name Daniel.

rsv@Genesis:30:9 @ When Leah saw that she had ceased bearing children, she took her maid Zilpah and gave her to Jacob as a wife.

rsv@Genesis:30:13 @ And Leah said, "Happy am I! For the women will call me happy"; so she called his name Asher.

rsv@Genesis:30:14 @ 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, "Give me, I pray, some of your son's mandrakes."

rsv@Genesis:30:15 @ But she said to her, "Is it a small matter that you have taken away my husband? Would you take away my son's mandrakes also?" Rachel said, "Then he may lie with you tonight for your son's mandrakes."

rsv@Genesis:30:16 @ When Jacob came from the field in the evening, Leah went out to meet him, and said, "You must come in to me; for I have hired you with my son's mandrakes." So he lay with her that night.

rsv@Genesis:30:21 @ Afterwards she bore a daughter, and called her name Dinah.

rsv@Genesis:30:22 @ Then God remembered Rachel, and God hearkened to her and opened her womb.

rsv@Genesis:30:24 @ and she called his name Joseph, saying, "May the LORD add to me another son!"

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

rsv@Genesis:30:38 @ He set the rods which he had peeled in front of the flocks in the runnels, that is, the watering troughs, where the flocks came to drink. And since they bred when they came to drink,

rsv@Genesis:30:42 @ but for the feebler of the flock he did not lay them there; so the feebler were Laban's, and the stronger Jacob's.

rsv@Genesis:31:1 @ Now Jacob heard that the sons of Laban were saying, "Jacob has taken all that was our father's; and from what was our father's he has gained all this wealth."

rsv@Genesis:31:3 @ Then the LORD said to Jacob, "Return to the land of your fathers and to your kindred, and I will be with you."

rsv@Genesis:31:4 @ So Jacob sent and called Rachel and Leah into the field where his flock was,

rsv@Genesis:31:5 @ and said to them, "I see that your father does not regard me with favor as he did before. But the God of my father has been with me.

rsv@Genesis:31:6 @ You know that I have served your father with all my strength;

rsv@Genesis:31:7 @ yet your father has cheated me and changed my wages ten times, but God did not permit him to harm me.

rsv@Genesis:31:9 @ Thus God has taken away the cattle of your father, and given them to me.

rsv@Genesis:31:11 @ Then the angel of God said to me in the dream, `Jacob,' and I said, `Here I am!'

rsv@Genesis:31:13 @ I am the God of Bethel, where you anointed a pillar and made a vow to me. Now arise, go forth from this land, and return to the land of your birth.'"

rsv@Genesis:31:14 @ Then Rachel and Leah answered him, "Is there any portion or inheritance left to us in our father's house?

rsv@Genesis:31:16 @ All the property which God has taken away from our father belongs to us and to our children; now then, whatever God has said to you, do."

rsv@Genesis:31:18 @ and he drove away all his cattle, all his livestock which he had gained, the cattle in his possession which he had acquired in Paddan-aram, to go to the land of Canaan to his father Isaac.

rsv@Genesis:31:19 @ Laban had gone to shear his sheep, and Rachel stole her father's household gods.

rsv@Genesis:31:24 @ But God came to Laban the Aramean in a dream by night, and said to him, "Take heed that you say not a word to Jacob, either good or bad."

rsv@Genesis:31:29 @ It is in my power to do you harm; but the God of your father spoke to me last night, saying, `Take heed that you speak to Jacob neither good nor bad.'

rsv@Genesis:31:30 @ And now you have gone away because you longed greatly for your father's house, but why did you steal my gods?"

rsv@Genesis:31:35 @ And she said to her father, "Let not my lord be angry that I cannot rise before you, for the way of women is upon me." So he searched, but did not find the household gods.

rsv@Genesis:31:37 @ Although 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.

rsv@Genesis:31:39 @ That which was torn by wild beasts I did not bring to you; I bore the loss of it myself; of my hand you required it, whether stolen by day or stolen by night.

rsv@Genesis:31:42 @ If the God of my father, the God of Abraham and the Fear of Isaac, had not been on my side, surely now you would have sent me away empty-handed. God saw my affliction and the labor of my hands, and rebuked you last night."

rsv@Genesis:31:46 @ And Jacob said to his kinsmen, "Gather stones," and they took stones, and made a heap; and they ate there by the heap.

rsv@Genesis:31:48 @ Laban said, "This heap is a witness between you and me today." Therefore he named it Galeed,

rsv@Genesis:32:17 @ He instructed the foremost, "When Esau my brother meets you, and asks you, `To whom do you belong? Where are you going? And whose are these before you?'

rsv@Genesis:32:29 @ Then Jacob asked him, "Tell me, I pray, your name." But he said, "Why is it that you ask my name?" And there he blessed him.

rsv@Genesis:32:32 @ Therefore to this day the Israelites do not eat the sinew of the hip which is upon the hollow of the thigh, because he touched the hollow of Jacob's thigh on the sinew of the hip.

rsv@Genesis:33:3 @ He himself went on before them, bowing himself to the ground seven times, until he came near to his brother.

rsv@Genesis:33:7 @ Leah likewise and her children drew near and bowed down; and last Joseph and Rachel drew near, and they bowed down.

rsv@Genesis:33:9 @ But Esau said, "I have enough, my brother; keep what you have for yourself."

rsv@Genesis:33:13 @ But Jacob said to him, "My lord knows that the children are frail, and that the flocks and herds giving suck are a care to me; and if they are overdriven for one day, all the flocks will die.

rsv@Genesis:35:1 @ God said to Jacob, "Arise, go up to Bethel, and dwell there; and make there an altar to the God who appeared to you when you fled from your brother Esau."

rsv@Genesis:37:4 @ But when his brothers saw that their father loved him more than all his brothers, they hated him, and could not speak peaceably to him.

rsv@Genesis:37:5 @ Now Joseph had a dream, and when he told it to his brothers they only hated him the more.

rsv@Genesis:37:7 @ behold, we were binding sheaves in the field, and lo, my sheaf arose and stood upright; and behold, your sheaves gathered round it, and bowed down to my sheaf."

rsv@Genesis:37:8 @ His brothers said to him, "Are you indeed to reign over us? Or are you indeed to have dominion over us?" So they hated him yet more for his dreams and for his words.

rsv@Genesis:37:9 @ Then he dreamed another dream, and told it to his brothers, and said, "Behold, I have dreamed another dream; and behold, the sun, the moon, and eleven stars were bowing down to me."

rsv@Genesis:37:10 @ But when he told it to his father and to his brothers, his father rebuked him, and said to him, "What is this dream that you have dreamed? Shall I and your mother and your brothers indeed come to bow ourselves to the ground before you?"

rsv@Genesis:37:11 @ And his brothers were jealous of him, but his father kept the saying in mind.

rsv@Genesis:37:12 @ Now his brothers went to pasture their father's flock near Shechem.

rsv@Genesis:37:13 @ And Israel said to Joseph, "Are not your brothers pasturing the flock at Shechem? Come, I will send you to them." And he said to him, "Here I am."

rsv@Genesis:37:14 @ So he said to him, "Go now, see if it is well with your brothers, and with the flock; and bring me word again." So he sent him from the valley of Hebron, and he came to Shechem.

rsv@Genesis:37:16 @ "I am seeking my brothers," he said, "tell me, I pray you, where they are pasturing the flock."

rsv@Genesis:37:17 @ And the man said, "They have gone away, for I heard them say, `Let us go to Dothan.'" So Joseph went after his brothers, and found them at Dothan.

rsv@Genesis:37:19 @ They said to one another, "Here comes this dreamer.

rsv@Genesis:37:22 @ And Reuben said to them, "Shed no blood; cast him into this pit here in the wilderness, but lay no hand upon him"--that he might rescue him out of their hand, to restore him to his father.

rsv@Genesis:37:23 @ So when Joseph came to his brothers, they stripped him of his robe, the long robe with sleeves that he wore;

rsv@Genesis:37:24 @ and they took him and cast him into a pit. The pit was empty, there was no water in it.

rsv@Genesis:37:27 @ Come, let us sell him to the Ish'maelites, and let not our hand be upon him, for he is our brother, our own flesh." And his brothers heeded him.

rsv@Genesis:37:30 @ and returned to his brothers, and said, "The lad is gone; and I, where shall I go?"

rsv@Genesis:37:32 @ and they sent the long robe with sleeves and brought it to their father, and said, "This we have found; see now whether it is your son's robe or not."

rsv@Genesis:37:35 @ All his sons and all his daughters rose up to comfort him; but he refused to be comforted, and said, "No, I shall go down to Sheol to my son, mourning." Thus his father wept for him.

rsv@Genesis:38:1 @ It happened at that time that Judah went down from his brothers, and turned in to a certain Adullamite, whose name was Hirah.

rsv@Genesis:38:2 @ There Judah saw the daughter of a certain Canaanite whose name was Shua; he married her and went in to her,

rsv@Genesis:38:6 @ And Judah took a wife for Er his first-born, and her name was Tamar.

rsv@Genesis:38:8 @ Then Judah said to Onan, "Go in to your brother's wife, and perform the duty of a brother-in-law to her, and raise up offspring for your brother."

rsv@Genesis:38:9 @ But Onan knew that the offspring would not be his; so when he went in to his brother's wife he spilled the semen on the ground, lest he should give offspring to his brother.

rsv@Genesis:38:11 @ Then Judah said to Tamar his daughter-in-law, "Remain a widow in your father's house, till Shelah my son grows up"--for he feared that he would die, like his brothers. So Tamar went and dwelt in her father's house.

rsv@Genesis:38:14 @ she put off her widow's garments, and put on a veil, wrapping herself up, and sat at the entrance to Enaim, which is on the road to Timnah; for she saw that Shelah was grown up, and she had not been given to him in marriage.

rsv@Genesis:38:16 @ He went over to her at the road side, and said, "Come, let me come in to you," for he did not know that she was his daughter-in-law. She said, "What will you give me, that you may come in to me?"

rsv@Genesis:38:18 @ He said, "What pledge shall I give you?" She replied, "Your signet and your cord, and your staff that is in your hand." So he gave them to her, and went in to her, and she conceived by him.

rsv@Genesis:38:19 @ Then she arose and went away, and taking off her veil she put on the garments of her widowhood.

rsv@Genesis:38:20 @ When Judah sent the kid by his friend the Adullamite, to receive the pledge from the woman's hand, he could not find her.

rsv@Genesis:38:21 @ And he asked the men of the place, "Where is the harlot who was at Enaim by the wayside?" And they said, "No harlot has been here."

rsv@Genesis:38:22 @ So he returned to Judah, and said, "I have not found her; and also the men of the place said, `No harlot has been here.'"

rsv@Genesis:38:23 @ And Judah replied, "Let her keep the things as her own, lest we be laughed at; you see, I sent this kid, and you could not find her."

rsv@Genesis:38:24 @ About three months later Judah was told, "Tamar your daughter-in-law has played the harlot; and moreover she is with child by harlotry." And Judah said, "Bring her out, and let her be burned."

rsv@Genesis:38:25 @ As she was being brought out, she sent word to her father-in-law, "By the man to whom these belong, I am with child." And she said, "Mark, I pray you, whose these are, the signet and the cord and the staff."

rsv@Genesis:38:26 @ Then Judah acknowledged them and said, "She is more righteous than I, inasmuch as I did not give her to my son Shelah." And he did not lie with her again.

rsv@Genesis:38:27 @ When the time of her delivery came, there were twins in her womb.

rsv@Genesis:38:29 @ But as he drew back his hand, behold, his brother came out; and she said, "What a breach you have made for yourself!" Therefore his name was called Perez.

rsv@Genesis:38:30 @ Afterward his brother came out with the scarlet thread upon his hand; and his name was called Zerah.

rsv@Genesis:39:1 @ Now Joseph was taken down to Egypt, and Pot'i-phar, an officer of Pharaoh, the captain of the guard, an Egyptian, bought him from the Ish'maelites who had brought him down there.

rsv@Genesis:39:7 @ And after a time his master's wife cast her eyes upon Joseph, and said, "Lie with me."

rsv@Genesis:39:10 @ And although she spoke to Joseph day after day, he would not listen to her, to lie with her or to be with her.

rsv@Genesis:39:11 @ But one day, when he went into the house to do his work and none of the men of the house was there in the house,

rsv@Genesis:39:12 @ she caught him by his garment, saying, "Lie with me." But he left his garment in her hand, and fled and got out of the house.

rsv@Genesis:39:14 @ she called to the men of her household and said to them, "See, he has brought among us a Hebrew to insult us; he came in to me to lie with me, and I cried out with a loud voice;

rsv@Genesis:39:20 @ And Joseph's master took him and put him into the prison, the place where the king's prisoners were confined, and he was there in prison.

rsv@Genesis:39:22 @ And the keeper of the prison committed to Joseph's care all the prisoners who were in the prison; and whatever was done there, he was the doer of it;

rsv@Genesis:40:3 @ and he put them in custody in the house of the captain of the guard, in the prison where Joseph was confined.

rsv@Genesis:40:8 @ They said to him, "We have had dreams, and there is no one to interpret them." And Joseph said to them, "Do not interpretations belong to God? Tell them to me, I pray you."

rsv@Genesis:40:9 @ So the chief butler told his dream to Joseph, and said to him, "In my dream there was a vine before me,

rsv@Genesis:40:10 @ and on the vine there were three branches; as soon as it budded, its blossoms shot forth, and the clusters ripened into grapes.

rsv@Genesis:40:15 @ For I was indeed stolen out of the land of the Hebrews; and here also I have done nothing that they should put me into the dungeon."

rsv@Genesis:40:16 @ When the chief baker saw that the interpretation was favorable, he said to Joseph, "I also had a dream: there were three cake baskets on my head,

rsv@Genesis:40:17 @ and in the uppermost basket there were all sorts of baked food for Pharaoh, but the birds were eating it out of the basket on my head."

rsv@Genesis:41:2 @ and behold, there came up out of the Nile seven cows sleek and fat, and they fed in the reed grass.

rsv@Genesis:41:3 @ And behold, seven other cows, gaunt and thin, came up out of the Nile after them, and stood by the other cows on the bank of the Nile.

rsv@Genesis:41:8 @ So in the morning his spirit was troubled; and he sent and called for all the magicians of Egypt and all its wise men; and Pharaoh told them his dream, but there was none who could interpret it to Pharaoh.

rsv@Genesis:41:12 @ A young Hebrew was there with us, a servant of the captain of the guard; and when we told him, he interpreted our dreams to us, giving an interpretation to each man according to his dream.

rsv@Genesis:41:15 @ And Pharaoh said to Joseph, "I have had a dream, and there is no one who can interpret it; and I have heard it said of you that when you hear a dream you can interpret it."

rsv@Genesis:41:19 @ and seven other cows came up after them, poor and very gaunt and thin, such as I had never seen in all the land of Egypt.

rsv@Genesis:41:23 @ and seven ears, withered, thin, and blighted by the east wind, sprouted after them,

rsv@Genesis:41:24 @ and the thin ears swallowed up the seven good ears. And I told it to the magicians, but there was no one who could explain it to me."

rsv@Genesis:41:29 @ There will come seven years of great plenty throughout all the land of Egypt,

rsv@Genesis:41:30 @ but after them there will arise seven years of famine, and all the plenty will be forgotten in the land of Egypt; the famine will consume the land,

rsv@Genesis:41:35 @ And let them gather all the food of these good years that are coming, and lay up grain under the authority of Pharaoh for food in the cities, and let them keep it.

rsv@Genesis:41:39 @ So Pharaoh said to Joseph, "Since God has shown you all this, there is none so discreet and wise as you are;

rsv@Genesis:41:45 @ And Pharaoh called Joseph's name Zaph'enath-pane'ah; and he gave him in marriage As'enath, the daughter of Poti'phera priest of On. So Joseph went out over the land of Egypt.

rsv@Genesis:41:48 @ and he gathered up all the food of the seven years when there was plenty in the land of Egypt, and stored up food in the cities; he stored up in every city the food from the fields around it.

rsv@Genesis:41:50 @ Before the year of famine came, Joseph had two sons, whom As'enath, the daughter of Poti'phera priest of On, bore to him.

rsv@Genesis:41:51 @ Joseph called the name of the first-born Manas'seh, "For," he said, "God has made me forget all my hardship and all my father's house."

rsv@Genesis:41:54 @ and the seven years of famine began to come, as Joseph had said. There was famine in all lands; but in all the land of Egypt there was bread.

rsv@Genesis:42:2 @ And he said, "Behold, I have heard that there is grain in Egypt; go down and buy grain for us there, that we may live, and not die."

rsv@Genesis:42:3 @ So ten of Joseph's brothers went down to buy grain in Egypt.

rsv@Genesis:42:4 @ But Jacob did not send Benjamin, Joseph's brother, with his brothers, for he feared that harm might befall him.

rsv@Genesis:42:5 @ Thus the sons of Israel came to buy among the others who came, for the famine was in the land of Canaan.

rsv@Genesis:42:7 @ Joseph saw his brothers, and knew them, but he treated them like strangers and spoke roughly to them. "Where do you come from?" he said. They said, "From the land of Canaan, to buy food."

rsv@Genesis:42:13 @ And they said, "We, your servants, are twelve brothers, the sons of one man in the land of Canaan; and behold, the youngest is this day with our father, and one is no more."

rsv@Genesis:42:21 @ Then they said to one another, "In truth we are guilty concerning our brother, in that we saw the distress of his soul, when he besought us and we would not listen; therefore is this distress come upon us."

rsv@Genesis:42:22 @ And Reuben answered them, "Did I not tell you not to sin against the lad? But you would not listen. So now there comes a reckoning for his blood."

rsv@Joshua:13:28 @ This is the inheritance of the Gadites according to their families, with their cities and villages.

rsv@Joshua:21:43 @ Thus the LORD gave to Israel all the land which he swore to give to their fathers; and having taken possession of it, they settled there.

rsv@Joshua:21:44 @ And the LORD gave them rest on every side just as he had sworn to their fathers; not one of all their enemies had withstood them, for the LORD had given all their enemies into their hands.

rsv@Joshua:22:4 @ And now the LORD your God has given rest to your brethren, as he promised them; therefore turn and go to your home in the land where your possession lies, which Moses the servant of the LORD gave you on the other side of the Jordan.

rsv@Joshua:24:14 @ "Now therefore fear the LORD, and serve him in sincerity and in faithfulness; put away the gods which your fathers served beyond the River, and in Egypt, and serve the LORD.

rsv@Joshua:24:15 @ And if you be unwilling to serve the LORD, choose this day whom you will serve, whether the gods your fathers served in the region beyond the River, or the gods of the Amorites in whose land you dwell; but as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD."

rsv@Joshua:24:16 @ Then the people answered, "Far be it from us that we should forsake the LORD, to serve other gods;

rsv@Joshua:24:17 @ for it is the LORD our God who brought us and our fathers up from the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage, and who did those great signs in our sight, and preserved us in all the way that we went, and among all the peoples through whom we passed;

rsv@Ruth:4:6 @ Then the next of kin said, "I cannot redeem it for myself, lest I impair my own inheritance. Take my right of redemption yourself, for I cannot redeem it."

rsv@Ruth:4:7 @ Now this was the custom in former times in Israel concerning redeeming and exchanging: to confirm a transaction, the one drew off his sandal and gave it to the other, and this was the manner of attesting in Israel.

rsv@Ruth:4:10 @ Also Ruth the Moabitess, the widow of Mahlon, I have bought to be my wife, to perpetuate the name of the dead in his inheritance, that the name of the dead may not be cut off from among his brethren and from the gate of his native place; you are witnesses this day."

rsv@Ruth:4:11 @ Then all the people who were at the gate, and the elders, said, "We are witnesses. May the LORD make the woman, who is coming into your house, like Rachel and Leah, who together built up the house of Israel. May you prosper in Eph'rathah and be renowned in Bethlehem;

rsv@Ruth:4:13 @ So Bo'az took Ruth and she became his wife; and he went in to her, and the LORD gave her conception, and she bore a son.

rsv@Ruth:4:15 @ He shall be to you a restorer of life and a nourisher of your old age; for your daughter-in-law who loves you, who is more to you than seven sons, has borne him."

rsv@Ruth:4:16 @ Then Na'omi took the child and laid him in her bosom, and became his nurse.

rsv@Ruth:4:17 @ And the women of the neighborhood gave him a name, saying, "A son has been born to Na'omi." They named him Obed; he was the father of Jesse, the father of David.

rsv@Ruth:4:18 @ Now these are the descendants of Perez: Perez was the father of Hezron,

rsv@1Samuel:1:1 @ There was a certain man of Ramatha'im-zo'phim of the hill country of E'phraim, whose name was Elka'nah the son of Jero'ham, son of Eli'hu, son of Tohu, son of Zuph, an E'phraimite.

rsv@1Samuel:1:2 @ He had two wives; the name of the one was Hannah, and the name of the other Penin'nah. And Penin'nah had children, but Hannah had no children.

rsv@1Samuel:1:3 @ Now this man used to go up year by year from his city to worship and to sacrifice to the LORD of hosts at Shiloh, where the two sons of Eli, Hophni and Phin'ehas, were priests of the LORD.

rsv@1Samuel:1:4 @ On the day when Elka'nah sacrificed, he would give portions to Penin'nah his wife and to all her sons and daughters;

rsv@1Samuel:1:5 @ and, although he loved Hannah, he would give Hannah only one portion, because the LORD had closed her womb.

rsv@1Samuel:1:6 @ And her rival used to provoke her sorely, to irritate her, because the LORD had closed her womb.

rsv@1Samuel:1:7 @ So it went on year by year; as often as she went up to the house of the LORD, she used to provoke her. Therefore Hannah wept and would not eat.

rsv@1Samuel:1:8 @ And Elka'nah, 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 more to you than ten sons?"

rsv@1Samuel:1:12 @ As she continued praying before the LORD, Eli observed her mouth.

rsv@1Samuel:1:13 @ Hannah was speaking in her heart; only her lips moved, and her voice was not heard; therefore Eli took her to be a drunken woman.

rsv@1Samuel:1:14 @ And Eli said to her, "How long will you be drunken? Put away your wine from you."

rsv@1Samuel:1:15 @ But Hannah answered, "No, my lord, I am a woman sorely troubled; I have drunk neither wine nor strong drink, but I have been pouring out my soul before the LORD.

rsv@1Samuel:1:18 @ And she said, "Let your maidservant find favor in your eyes." Then the woman went her way and ate, and her countenance was no longer sad.

rsv@1Samuel:1:19 @ They rose early in the morning and worshiped before the LORD; then they went back to their house at Ramah. And Elka'nah knew Hannah his wife, and the LORD remembered her;

rsv@1Samuel:1:22 @ But Hannah did not go up, for she said to her husband, "As soon as the child is weaned, I will bring him, that he may appear in the presence of the LORD, and abide there for ever."

rsv@1Samuel:1:23 @ Elka'nah her husband said to her, "Do what seems best to you, wait until you have weaned him; only, may the LORD establish his word." So the woman remained and nursed her son, until she weaned him.

rsv@1Samuel:1:24 @ And when she had weaned him, she took him up with her, along with a three-year-old bull, an ephah of flour, and a skin of wine; and she brought him to the house of the LORD at Shiloh; and the child was young.

rsv@1Samuel:1:26 @ And she said, "Oh, my lord! As you live, my lord, I am the woman who was standing here in your presence, praying to the LORD.

rsv@1Samuel:1:28 @ Therefore I have lent him to the LORD; as long as he lives, he is lent to the LORD." And they worshiped the LORD there.

rsv@1Samuel:2:19 @ And his mother used to make for him a little robe and take it to him each year, when she went up with her husband to offer the yearly sacrifice.

rsv@1Samuel:2:25 @ If a man sins against a man, 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 it was the will of the LORD to slay them.

rsv@1Samuel:2:27 @ And there came a man of God to Eli, and said to him, "Thus the LORD has said, `I revealed myself to the house of your father when they were in Egypt subject to the house of Pharaoh.

rsv@1Samuel:2:28 @ And I chose him out of all the tribes of Israel to be my priest, to go up to my altar, to burn incense, to wear an ephod before me; and I gave to the house of your father all my offerings by fire from the people of Israel.

rsv@1Samuel:2:30 @ Therefore the LORD the God of Israel declares: `I promised that your house and the house of your father should go in and out before me for ever'; but now the LORD declares: `Far be it from me; for those who honor me I will honor, and those who despise me shall be lightly esteemed.

rsv@1Samuel:3:1 @ Now the boy Samuel was ministering to the LORD under Eli. And the word of the LORD was rare in those days; there was no frequent vision.

rsv@1Samuel:3:3 @ the lamp of God had not yet gone out, and Samuel was lying down within the temple of the LORD, where the ark of God was.

rsv@1Samuel:3:4 @ Then the LORD called, "Samuel! Samuel!" and he said, "Here I am!"

rsv@1Samuel:3:5 @ and ran to Eli, and said, "Here I am, for you called me." But he said, "I did not call; lie down again." So he went and lay down.

rsv@1Samuel:3:8 @ And the LORD called Samuel again the third time. And he arose and went to Eli, and said, "Here I am, for you called me." Then Eli perceived that the LORD was calling the boy.

rsv@1Samuel:3:9 @ Therefore Eli said to Samuel, "Go, lie down; and if he calls you, you shall say, `Speak, LORD, for thy servant hears.'" So Samuel went and lay down in his place.

rsv@1Samuel:3:10 @ And the LORD came and stood forth, calling as at other times, "Samuel! Samuel!" And Samuel said, "Speak, for thy servant hears."

rsv@1Samuel:7:6 @ So they gathered at 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 people of Israel at Mizpah.

rsv@1Samuel:9:6 @ But he said to him, "Behold, there is a man of God in this city, and he is a man that is held in honor; all that he says comes true. Let us go there; perhaps he can tell us about the journey on which we have set out."

rsv@1Samuel:9:7 @ Then Saul said to his servant, "But if we go, what can we bring the man? For the bread in our sacks is gone, and there is no present to bring to the man of God. What have we?"

rsv@1Samuel:9:8 @ The servant answered Saul again, "Here, I have with me the fourth part of a shekel of silver, and I will give it to the man of God, to tell us our way."

rsv@1Samuel:9:10 @ And Saul said to his servant, "Well said; come, let us go." So they went to the city where the man of God was.

rsv@1Samuel:9:11 @ As they went up the hill to the city, they met young maidens coming out to draw water, and said to them, "Is the seer here?"

rsv@1Samuel:9:17 @ When Samuel saw Saul, the LORD told him, "Here is the man of whom I spoke to you! He it is who shall rule over my people."

rsv@1Samuel:9:18 @ Then Saul approached Samuel in the gate, and said, "Tell me where is the house of the seer?"

rsv@1Samuel:9:20 @ As for your asses that 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 house?"

rsv@1Samuel:9:27 @ As they were going down to the outskirts of the city, Samuel said to Saul, "Tell the servant to pass on before us, and when he has passed on stop here yourself for a while, that I may make known to you the word of God."

rsv@1Samuel:10:3 @ Then you shall go on from there further and come to the oak of Tabor; three men going up to God at Bethel will meet you there, one carrying three kids, another carrying three loaves of bread, and another carrying a skin of wine.

rsv@1Samuel:10:5 @ After that you shall come to Gib'e-ath-elo'him, where there is a garrison of the Philistines; and there, as you come to the city, you will meet a band of prophets coming down from the high place with harp, tambourine, flute, and lyre before them, prophesying.

rsv@1Samuel:10:6 @ Then the spirit of the LORD will come mightily upon you, and you shall prophesy with them and be turned into another man.

rsv@1Samuel:10:11 @ And when all who knew him before saw how he prophesied with the prophets, the people said to one another, "What has come over the son of Kish? Is Saul also among the prophets?"

rsv@1Samuel:10:12 @ And a man of the place answered, "And who is their father?" Therefore it became a proverb, "Is Saul also among the prophets?"

rsv@1Samuel:10:14 @ Saul's uncle said to him and to his servant, "Where did you go?" And he said, "To seek the asses; and when we saw they were not to be found, we went to Samuel."

rsv@1Samuel:24:11 @ See, my father, see the skirt of your robe in my hand; for by the fact that I cut off the skirt of your robe, and did not kill you, you may know and see that there is no wrong or treason in my hands. I have not sinned against you, though you hunt my life to take it.

rsv@1Samuel:24:15 @ May the LORD therefore be judge, and give sentence between me and you, and see to it, and plead my cause, and deliver me from your hand."

rsv@1Samuel:25:39 @ When David heard that Nabal was dead, he said, "Blessed be the LORD who has avenged the insult I received at the hand of Nabal, and has kept back his servant from evil; the LORD has returned the evil-doing of Nabal upon his own head."

rsv@1Samuel:26:19 @ Now therefore let my lord the king hear the words of his servant.

rsv@1Samuel:28:18 @ Because you did not obey the voice of the LORD, and did not carry out his fierce wrath against Am'alek, therefore the LORD has done this thing to you this day.

rsv@1Samuel:28:20 @ Then Saul fell at once full length upon the ground, filled with fear because of the words of Samuel; and there was no strength in him, for he had eaten nothing all day and all night.

rsv@Ezra:8:18 @ And by the good hand of our God upon us, they brought us a man of discretion, of the sons of Mahli the son of Levi, son of Israel, namely Sherebi'ah with his sons and kinsmen, eighteen;

rsv@Ezra:8:21 @ Then I proclaimed a fast there, at the river Aha'va, that we might humble ourselves before our God, to seek from him a straight way for ourselves, our children, and all our goods.

rsv@Ezra:8:24 @ Then I set apart twelve of the leading priests: Sherebi'ah, Hashabi'ah, and ten of their kinsmen with them.

rsv@Ezra:8:25 @ And I weighed out to them the silver and the gold and the vessels, the offering for the house of our God which the king and his counselors and his lords and all Israel there present had offered;

rsv@Ezra:8:28 @ And I said to them, "You are holy to the LORD, and the vessels are holy; and the silver and the gold are a freewill offering to the LORD, the God of your fathers.

rsv@Ezra:8:32 @ We came to Jerusalem, and there we remained three days.

rsv@Ezra:9:4 @ Then all who trembled at the words of the God of Israel, because of the faithlessness of the returned exiles, gathered round me while I sat appalled until the evening sacrifice.

rsv@Ezra:9:6 @ saying: "O my God, I am ashamed and blush to lift my face to thee, my God, for our iniquities have risen higher than our heads, and our guilt has mounted up to the heavens.

rsv@Ezra:9:7 @ From the days of our fathers to this day we have been in great guilt; and for 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, to plundering, and to utter shame, as at this day.

rsv@Ezra:9:12 @ Therefore give not your daughters to their sons, neither take their daughters for your sons, and never seek their peace or prosperity, that you may be strong, and eat the good of the land, and leave it for an inheritance to your children for ever.'

rsv@Ezra:9:14 @ shall we break thy commandments again and intermarry with the peoples who practice these abominations? Wouldst thou not be angry with us till thou wouldst consume us, so that there should be no remnant, nor any to escape?

rsv@Ezra:10:1 @ While Ezra prayed and made confession, weeping and casting himself down before the house of God, a very great assembly of men, women, and children, gathered to him out of Israel; for the people wept bitterly.

rsv@Ezra:10:2 @ And Shecani'ah the son of Jehi'el, of the sons of Elam, addressed Ezra: "We have broken faith with our God and have married foreign women from the peoples of the land, but even now there is hope for Israel in spite of this.

rsv@Ezra:10:3 @ Therefore let us make a covenant with our God to put away all these 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.

rsv@Ezra:10:6 @ Then Ezra withdrew from before the house of God, and went to the chamber of Jehoha'nan the son of Eli'ashib, where he spent the night, neither eating bread nor drinking water; for he was mourning over the faithlessness of the exiles.

rsv@Ezra:10:11 @ Now then make confession to the LORD the God of your fathers, and do his will; separate yourselves from the peoples of the land and from the foreign wives."

rsv@Ezra:10:16 @ Then the returned exiles did so. Ezra the priest selected men, heads of fathers' houses, according to their fathers' houses, each of them designated by name. On the first day of the tenth month they sat down to examine the matter;

rsv@Nehemiah:1:3 @ And they said to me, "The survivors there in the province who escaped exile are in great trouble and shame; the wall of Jerusalem is broken down, and its gates are destroyed by fire."

rsv@Nehemiah:1:6 @ let thy ear be attentive, and thy eyes open, to hear the prayer of thy servant which I now pray before thee day and night for the people of Israel thy servants, confessing the sins of the people of Israel, which we have sinned against thee.

rsv@Nehemiah:1:9 @ but if you return to me and keep my commandments and do them, though your dispersed be under the farthest skies, I will gather them thence and bring them to the place which I have chosen, to make my name dwell there.'

rsv@Nehemiah:2:3 @ I said to the king, "Let the king live for ever! Why should not my face be sad, when the city, the place of my fathers' sepulchres, lies waste, and its gates have been destroyed by fire?"

rsv@Nehemiah:2:5 @ And I said to the king, "If it pleases the king, and if your servant has found favor in your sight, that you send me to Judah, to the city of my fathers' sepulchres, that I may rebuild it."

rsv@Nehemiah:2:11 @ So I came to Jerusalem and was there three days.

rsv@Nehemiah:2:12 @ Then I arose in the night, I and a few men with me; and I told no one what my God had put into my heart to do for Jerusalem. There was no beast with me but the beast on which I rode.

rsv@Nehemiah:2:14 @ Then I went on to the Fountain Gate and to the King's Pool; but there was no place for the beast that was under me to pass.

rsv@Nehemiah:2:16 @ And the officials did not know where I had gone or what I was doing; and I had not yet told the Jews, the priests, the nobles, the officials, and the rest that were to do the work.

rsv@Nehemiah:3:30 @ After him Hanani'ah the son of Shelemi'ah and Hanun the sixth son of Zalaph repaired another section. After him Meshul'lam the son of Berechi'ah repaired opposite his chamber.

rsv@Nehemiah:4:4 @ Hear, O our God, for we are despised; turn back their taunt upon their own heads, and give them up to be plundered in a land where they are captives.

rsv@Nehemiah:4:6 @ So we built the wall; and all the wall was joined together to half its height. For the people had a mind to work.

rsv@Nehemiah:4:8 @ and they all plotted together to come and fight against Jerusalem and to cause confusion in it.

rsv@Nehemiah:4:10 @ But Judah said, "The strength of the burden-bearers is failing, and there is much rubbish; we are not able to work on the wall."

rsv@Nehemiah:4:12 @ When the Jews who lived by them came they said to us ten times, "From all the places where they live they will come up against us."

rsv@Nehemiah:4:20 @ In the place where you hear the sound of the trumpet, rally to us there. Our God will fight for us."

rsv@Nehemiah:4:23 @ So neither I nor my brethren nor my servants nor the men of the guard who followed me, none of us took off our clothes; each kept his weapon in his hand.

rsv@Nehemiah:5:1 @ Now there arose a great outcry of the people and of their wives against their Jewish brethren.

rsv@Nehemiah:5:2 @ For there were those who said, "With our sons and our daughters, we are many; let us get grain, that we may eat and keep alive."

rsv@Nehemiah:5:3 @ There were also those who said, "We are mortgaging our fields, our vineyards, and our houses to get grain because of the famine."

rsv@Nehemiah:5:4 @ And there were those who said, "We have borrowed money for the king's tax upon our fields and our vineyards.

rsv@Nehemiah:5:5 @ Now our flesh is as the flesh of our brethren, our children are as their children; yet we are forcing our sons and our daughters to be slaves, and some of our daughters have already been enslaved; but it is not in our power to help it, for other men have our fields and our vineyards."

rsv@Nehemiah:5:7 @ I took counsel with myself, and I brought charges against the nobles and the officials. I said to them, "You are exacting interest, each from his brother." And I held a great assembly against them,

rsv@Nehemiah:5:14 @ Moreover from the time that I was appointed to be their governor in the land of Judah, from the twentieth year to the thirty-second year of Ar-ta-xerx'es the king, twelve years, neither I nor my brethren ate the food allowance of the governor.

rsv@Nehemiah:5:16 @ I also held to the work on this wall, and acquired no land; and all my servants were gathered there for the work.

rsv@Nehemiah:6:7 @ And you have also set up prophets to proclaim concerning you in Jerusalem, `There is a king in Judah.' And now it will be reported to the king according to these words. So now come, and let us take counsel together."

rsv@Nehemiah:6:10 @ Now when I went into the house of Shemai'ah the son of Delai'ah, son of Mehet'abel, who was shut up, 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, at night they are coming to kill you."

rsv@Nehemiah:13:27 @ Shall we then listen to you and do all this great evil and act treacherously against our God by marrying foreign women?"

rsv@Nehemiah:13:28 @ And one of the sons of Jehoi'ada, the son of Eli'ashib the high priest, was the son-in-law of Sanbal'lat the Hor'onite; therefore I chased him from me.

rsv@Esther:1:1 @ In the days of Ahasu-e'rus, the Ahasu-e'rus who reigned from India to Ethiopia over one hundred and twenty-seven provinces,

rsv@Esther:1:2 @ in those days when King Ahasu-e'rus sat on his royal throne in Susa the capital,

rsv@Esther:1:3 @ in the third year of his reign he gave a banquet for all his princes and servants, the army chiefs of Persia and Media and the nobles and governors of the provinces being before him,

rsv@Esther:1:4 @ while he showed the riches of his royal glory and the splendor and pomp of his majesty for many days, a hundred and eighty days.

rsv@Esther:1:5 @ And when these days were completed, the king gave for all the people present in Susa the capital, both great and small, a banquet lasting for seven days, in the court of the garden of the king's palace.

rsv@Esther:1:6 @ There were white cotton curtains and blue hangings caught up with cords of fine linen and purple to silver rings and marble pillars, and also couches of gold and silver on a mosaic pavement of porphyry, marble, mother-of-pearl and precious stones.

rsv@Esther:1:7 @ Drinks were served in golden goblets, goblets of different kinds, and the royal wine was lavished according to the bounty of the king.

rsv@Esther:1:8 @ And drinking was according to the law, no one was compelled; for the king had given orders to all the officials of his palace to do as every man desired.

rsv@Esther:1:9 @ Queen Vashti also gave a banquet for the women in the palace which belonged to King Ahasu-e'rus.

rsv@Esther:1:10 @ On the seventh day, when the heart of the king was merry with wine, he commanded Mehu'man, Biztha, Harbo'na, Bigtha and Abag'tha, Zethar and Carkas, the seven eunuchs who served King Ahasu-e'rus as chamberlains,

rsv@Esther:1:11 @ to bring Queen Vashti before the king with her royal crown, in order to show the peoples and the princes her beauty; for she was fair to behold.

rsv@Esther:1:12 @ But Queen Vashti refused to come at the king's command conveyed by the eunuchs. At this the king was enraged, and his anger burned within him.

rsv@Esther:1:13 @ Then the king said to the wise men who knew the times-- for this was the king's procedure toward all who were versed in law and judgment,

rsv@Esther:1:14 @ the men next to him being Carshe'na, Shethar, Adma'tha, Tarshish, Meres, Marse'na, and Memu'can, the seven princes of Persia and Media, who saw the king's face, and sat first in the kingdom--:

rsv@Esther:1:15 @ "According to the law, what is to be done to Queen Vashti, because she has not performed the command of King Ahasu-e'rus conveyed by the eunuchs?"

rsv@Esther:1:16 @ Then Memu'can said in presence of the king and the princes, "Not only to the king has Queen Vashti done wrong, but also to all the princes and all the peoples who are in all the provinces of King Ahasu-e'rus.

rsv@Esther:1:17 @ For this deed of the queen will be made known to all women, causing them to look with contempt upon their husbands, since they will say, `King Ahasu-e'rus commanded Queen Vashti to be brought before him, and she did not come.'

rsv@Esther:1:18 @ This very day the ladies of Persia and Media who have heard of the queen's behavior will be telling it to all the king's princes, and there will be contempt and wrath in plenty.

rsv@Esther:1:19 @ If it please the king, let a royal order go forth from him, and let it be written among the laws of the Persians and the Medes so that it may not be altered, that Vashti is to come no more before King Ahasu-e'rus; and let the king give her royal position to another who is better than she.

rsv@Esther:1:20 @ So when the decree made by the king is proclaimed throughout all his kingdom, vast as it is, all women will give honor to their husbands, high and low."

rsv@Esther:1:21 @ This advice pleased the king and the princes, and the king did as Memu'can proposed;

rsv@Esther:1:22 @ he sent letters to all the royal provinces, to every province in its own script and to every people in its own language, that every man be lord in his own house and speak according to the language of his people.

rsv@Esther:2:1 @ After these things, when the anger of King Ahasu-e'rus had abated, he remembered Vashti and what she had done and what had been decreed against her.

rsv@Esther:2:2 @ Then the king's servants who attended him said, "Let beautiful young virgins be sought out for the king.

rsv@Esther:2:3 @ And let the king appoint officers in all the provinces of his kingdom to gather all the beautiful young virgins to the harem in Susa the capital, under custody of Hegai the king's eunuch who is in charge of the women; let their ointments be given them.

rsv@Esther:2:4 @ And let the maiden who pleases the king be queen instead of Vashti." This pleased the king, and he did so.

rsv@Esther:2:5 @ Now there was a Jew in Susa the capital whose name was Mor'decai, the son of Ja'ir, son of Shim'e-i, son of Kish, a Benjaminite,

rsv@Esther:2:6 @ who had been carried away from Jerusalem among the captives carried away with Jeconi'ah king of Judah, whom Nebuchadnez'zar king of Babylon had carried away.

rsv@Esther:2:7 @ He had brought up Hadas'sah, that is Esther, the daughter of his uncle, for she had neither father nor mother; the maiden was beautiful and lovely, and when her father and her mother died, Mor'decai adopted her as his own daughter.

rsv@Esther:2:8 @ So when the king's order and his edict were proclaimed, and when many maidens were gathered in Susa the capital in custody of Hegai, Esther also was taken into the king's palace and put in custody of Hegai who had charge of the women.

rsv@Esther:2:9 @ And the maiden pleased him and won his favor; and he quickly provided her with her ointments and her portion of food, and with seven chosen maids from the king's palace, and advanced her and her maids to the best place in the harem.

rsv@Esther:2:10 @ Esther had not made known her people or kindred, for Mor'decai had charged her not to make it known.

rsv@Esther:2:11 @ And every day Mor'decai walked in front of the court of the harem, to learn how Esther was and how she fared.

rsv@Esther:2:12 @ Now when the turn came for each maiden to go in to King Ahasu-e'rus, after being twelve months under the regulations for the women, since this was the regular period of their beautifying, six months with oil of myrrh and six months with spices and ointments for women--

rsv@Esther:2:13 @ when the maiden went in to the king in this way she was given whatever she desired to take with her from the harem to the king's palace.

rsv@Esther:2:14 @ In the evening she went, and in the morning she came back to the second harem in custody of Sha-ash'gaz the king's eunuch who was in charge of the concubines; she did not go in to the king again, unless the king delighted in her and she was summoned by name.

rsv@Esther:2:15 @ When the turn came for Esther the daughter of Ab'ihail the uncle of Mor'decai, who had adopted her as his own daughter, to go in to the king, she asked for nothing except what Hegai the king's eunuch, who had charge of the women, advised. Now Esther found favor in the eyes of all who saw her.

rsv@Esther:2:16 @ And when Esther was taken to King Ahasu-e'rus into his royal palace in the tenth month, which is the month of Tebeth, in the seventh year of his reign,

rsv@Esther:2:17 @ the king loved Esther more than all the women, and she found grace and favor in his sight more than all the virgins, so that he set the royal crown on her head and made her queen instead of Vashti.

rsv@Esther:2:18 @ Then the king gave a great banquet to all his princes and servants; it was Esther's banquet. He also granted a remission of taxes to the provinces, and gave gifts with royal liberality.

rsv@Esther:2:19 @ When the virgins were gathered together the second time, Mor'decai was sitting at the king's gate.

rsv@Esther:2:20 @ Now Esther had not made known her kindred or her people, as Mor'decai had charged her; for Esther obeyed Mor'decai just as when she was brought up by him.

rsv@Esther:2:21 @ And in those days, as Mor'decai was sitting at the king's gate, Bigthan and Teresh, two of the king's eunuchs, who guarded the threshold, became angry and sought to lay hands on King Ahasu-e'rus.

rsv@Esther:2:22 @ And this came to the knowledge of Mor'decai, and he told it to Queen Esther, and Esther told the king in the name of Mor'decai.

rsv@Esther:2:23 @ When the affair was investigated and found to be so, the men were both hanged on the gallows. And it was recorded in the Book of the Chronicles in the presence of the king.

rsv@Esther:3:1 @ After these things King Ahasu-e'rus promoted Haman the Ag'agite, the son of Hammeda'tha, and advanced him and set his seat above all the princes who were with him.

rsv@Esther:3:2 @ And all the king's servants who were at the king's gate bowed down and did obeisance to Haman; for the king had so commanded concerning him. But Mor'decai did not bow down or do obeisance.

rsv@Esther:3:3 @ Then the king's servants who were at the king's gate said to Mor'decai, "Why do you transgress the king's command?"

rsv@Esther:3:4 @ And when they spoke to him day after day and he would not listen to them, they told Haman, in order to see whether Mor'decai's words would avail; for he had told them that he was a Jew.

rsv@Esther:3:5 @ And when Haman saw that Mor'decai did not bow down or do obeisance to him, Haman was filled with fury.

rsv@Esther:3:6 @ But he disdained to lay hands on Mor'decai alone. So, as they had made known to him the people of Mor'decai, Haman sought to destroy all the Jews, the people of Mor'decai, throughout the whole kingdom of Ahasu-e'rus.

rsv@Esther:3:7 @ In the first month, which is the month of Nisan, in the twelfth year of King Ahasu-e'rus, they cast Pur, that is the lot, before Haman day after day; and they cast it month after month till the twelfth month, which is the month of Adar.

rsv@Esther:3:8 @ Then Haman said to King Ahasu-e'rus, "There is a certain people scattered abroad and dispersed among the peoples in all the provinces of your kingdom; their laws are different from those of every other people, and they do not keep the king's laws, so that it is not for the king's profit to tolerate them.

rsv@Esther:3:9 @ If it please 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 have charge of the king's business, that they may put it into the king's treasuries."

rsv@Esther:3:10 @ So the king took his signet ring from his hand and gave it to Haman the Ag'agite, the son of Hammeda'tha, the enemy of the Jews.

rsv@Esther:3:11 @ And the king said to Haman, "The money is given to you, the people also, to do with them as it seems good to you."

rsv@Esther:3:12 @ Then the king's secretaries were summoned on the thirteenth day of the first month, and an edict, according to all that Haman commanded, was written to the king's satraps and to the governors over all the provinces and to the princes of all the peoples, to every province in its own script and every people in its own language; it was written in the name of King Ahasu-e'rus and sealed with the king's ring.

rsv@Esther:3:13 @ Letters were sent by couriers to all the king's provinces, to destroy, to slay, and to annihilate all Jews, young and old, women and children, in one day, the thirteenth day of the twelfth month, which is the month of Adar, and to plunder their goods.

rsv@Esther:3:14 @ A copy of the document was to be issued as a decree in every province by proclamation to all the peoples to be ready for that day.

rsv@Esther:3:15 @ The couriers went in haste by order of the king, and the decree was issued in Susa the capital. And the king and Haman sat down to drink; but the city of Susa was perplexed.

rsv@Esther:4:1 @ When Mor'decai learned all that had been done, Mor'decai rent his clothes and put on sackcloth and ashes, and went out into the midst of the city, wailing with a loud and bitter cry;

rsv@Esther:4:2 @ he went up to the entrance of the king's gate, for no one might enter the king's gate clothed with sackcloth.

rsv@Esther:4:3 @ And in every province, wherever the king's command and his decree came, there was great mourning among the Jews, with fasting and weeping and lamenting, and most of them lay in sackcloth and ashes.

rsv@Esther:4:4 @ When Esther's maids and her eunuchs came and told her, the queen was deeply distressed; she sent garments to clothe Mor'decai, so that he might take off his sackcloth, but he would not accept them.

rsv@Esther:4:5 @ Then Esther called for Hathach, one of the king's eunuchs, who had been appointed to attend her, and ordered him to go to Mor'decai to learn what this was and why it was.

rsv@Esther:4:6 @ Hathach went out to Mor'decai in the open square of the city in front of the king's gate,

rsv@Esther:4:7 @ and Mor'decai told him all that had happened to him, and the exact sum of money that Haman had promised to pay into the king's treasuries for the destruction of the Jews.

rsv@Esther:4:8 @ Mor'decai also gave him a copy of the written decree issued in Susa for their destruction, that he might show it to Esther and explain it to her and charge her to go to the king to make supplication to him and entreat him for her people.

rsv@Esther:4:9 @ And Hathach went and told Esther what Mor'decai had said.

rsv@Esther:4:10 @ Then Esther spoke to Hathach and gave him a message for Mor'decai, saying,

rsv@Esther:4:11 @ "All the king's servants and the people of the king's provinces know that if any man or woman goes to the king inside the inner court without being called, there is but one law; all alike are to be put to death, except the one to whom the king holds out the golden scepter that he may live. And I have not been called to come in to the king these thirty days."

rsv@Esther:4:12 @ And they told Mor'decai what Esther had said.

rsv@Esther:4:13 @ Then Mor'decai told them to return answer to Esther, "Think not that in the king's palace you will escape any more than all the other Jews.

rsv@Esther:4:14 @ For if you keep silence at such a time as this, relief and deliverance will rise for the Jews from another quarter, but you and your father's house will perish. And who knows whether you have not come to the kingdom for such a time as this?"

rsv@Esther:4:15 @ Then Esther told them to reply to Mor'decai,

rsv@Esther:4:16 @ "Go, gather all the Jews to be found in Susa, and hold a fast on my behalf, and neither eat nor drink for three days, night or day. I and my maids will also fast as you do. Then I will go to the king, though it is against the law; and if I perish, I perish."

rsv@Esther:4:17 @ Mor'decai then went away and did everything as Esther had ordered him.

rsv@Esther:5:1 @ On the third day Esther put on her royal robes and stood in the inner court of the king's palace, opposite the king's hall. The king was sitting on his royal throne inside the palace opposite the entrance to the palace;

rsv@Esther:5:2 @ and when the king saw Queen Esther standing in the court, she found favor in his sight and he held out to Esther the golden scepter that was in his hand. Then Esther approached and touched the top of the scepter.

rsv@Esther:5:3 @ And the king said to her, "What is it, Queen Esther? What is your request? It shall be given you, even to the half of my kingdom."

rsv@Esther:5:4 @ And Esther said, "If it please the king, let the king and Haman come this day to a dinner that I have prepared for the king."

rsv@Esther:5:5 @ Then said the king, "Bring Haman quickly, that we may do as Esther desires." So the king and Haman came to the dinner that Esther had prepared.

rsv@Esther:5:6 @ And as they were drinking wine, the king said to Esther, "What is your petition? It shall be granted you. And what is your request? Even to the half of my kingdom, it shall be fulfilled."

rsv@Esther:5:7 @ But Esther said, "My petition and my request is:

rsv@Esther:5:8 @ If I have found favor in the sight of the king, and if it please the king to grant my petition and fulfil my request, let the king and Haman come tomorrow to the dinner which I will prepare for them, and tomorrow I will do as the king has said."

rsv@Esther:5:9 @ And Haman went out that day joyful and glad of heart. But when Haman saw Mor'decai in the king's gate, that he neither rose nor trembled before him, he was filled with wrath against Mor'decai.

rsv@Esther:5:10 @ Nevertheless Haman restrained himself, and went home; and he sent and fetched his friends and his wife Zeresh.

rsv@Esther:5:11 @ And Haman recounted to them the splendor of his riches, the number of his sons, all the promotions with which the king had honored him, and how he had advanced him above the princes and the servants of the king.

rsv@Esther:5:12 @ And Haman added, "Even Queen Esther let no one come with the king to the banquet she prepared but myself. And tomorrow also I am invited by her together with the king.

rsv@Esther:5:13 @ Yet all this does me no good, so long as I see Mor'decai the Jew sitting at the king's gate."

rsv@Esther:5:14 @ Then his wife Zeresh and all his friends said to him, "Let a gallows fifty cubits high be made, and in the morning tell the king to have Mor'decai hanged upon it; then go merrily with the king to the dinner." This counsel pleased Haman, and he had the gallows made.

rsv@Esther:6:1 @ On that night the king could not sleep; and he gave orders to bring the book of memorable deeds, the chronicles, and they were read before the king.

rsv@Esther:6:2 @ And it was found written how Mor'decai had told about Bigthana and Teresh, two of the king's eunuchs, who guarded the threshold, and who had sought to lay hands upon King Ahasu-e'rus.

rsv@Esther:6:3 @ And the king said, "What honor or dignity has been bestowed on Mor'decai for this?" The king's servants who attended him said, "Nothing has been done for him."

rsv@Esther:6:4 @ And the king said, "Who is in the court?" Now Haman had just entered the outer court of the king's palace to speak to the king about having Mor'decai hanged on the gallows that he had prepared for him.

rsv@Esther:6:5 @ So the king's servants told him, "Haman is there, standing in the court." And the king said, "Let him come in."

rsv@Esther:6:6 @ So Haman came in, and the king said to him, "What shall be done to the man whom the king delights to honor?" And Haman said to himself, "Whom would the king delight to honor more than me?"

rsv@Esther:6:7 @ and Haman said to the king, "For the man whom the king delights to honor,

rsv@Esther:6:8 @ let royal robes be brought, which the king has worn, and the horse which the king has ridden, and on whose head a royal crown is set;

rsv@Esther:6:9 @ and let the robes and the horse be handed over to one of the king's most noble princes; let him array the man whom the king delights to honor, and let him conduct the man on horseback through the open square of the city, proclaiming before him: `Thus shall it be done to the man whom the king delights to honor.'"

rsv@Esther:6:10 @ Then the king said to Haman, "Make haste, take the robes and the horse, as you have said, and do so to Mor'decai the Jew who sits at the king's gate. Leave out nothing that you have mentioned."

rsv@Esther:6:11 @ So Haman took the robes and the horse, and he arrayed Mor'decai and made him ride through the open square of the city, proclaiming, "Thus shall it be done to the man whom the king delights to honor."

rsv@Esther:6:12 @ Then Mor'decai returned to the king's gate. But Haman hurried to his house, mourning and with his head covered.

rsv@Esther:6:13 @ And Haman told his wife Zeresh and all his friends everything that had befallen him. Then his wise men and his wife Zeresh said to him, "If Mor'decai, before whom you have begun to fall, is of the Jewish people, you will not prevail against him but will surely fall before him."

rsv@Esther:6:14 @ While they were yet talking with him, the king's eunuchs arrived and brought Haman in haste to the banquet that Esther had prepared.

rsv@Esther:7:1 @ So the king and Haman went in to feast with Queen Esther.

rsv@Esther:7:2 @ And on the second day, as they were drinking wine, the king again said to Esther, "What is your petition, Queen Esther? It shall be granted you. And what is your request? Even to the half of my kingdom, it shall be fulfilled."

rsv@Esther:7:3 @ Then Queen Esther answered, "If I have found favor in your sight, O king, and if it please the king, let my life be given me at my petition, and my people at my request.

rsv@Esther:7:4 @ For we are sold, I and my people, to be destroyed, to be slain, and to be annihilated. If we had been sold merely as slaves, men and women, I would have held my peace; for our affliction is not to be compared with the loss to the king."

rsv@Esther:7:5 @ Then King Ahasu-e'rus said to Queen Esther, "Who is he, and where is he, that would presume to do this?"

rsv@Esther:7:6 @ And Esther said, "A foe and enemy! This wicked Haman!" Then Haman was in terror before the king and the queen.

rsv@Esther:7:7 @ And the king rose from the feast in wrath and went into the palace garden; but Haman stayed to beg his life from Queen Esther, for he saw that evil was determined against him by the king.

rsv@Esther:7:8 @ And the king returned from the palace garden to the place where they were drinking wine, as Haman was falling on the couch where Esther was; and the king said, "Will he even assault the queen in my presence, in my own house?"

rsv@Esther:7:9 @ Then said Harbo'na, one of the eunuchs in attendance on the king, "Moreover, the gallows which Haman has prepared for Mor'decai, whose word saved the king, is standing in Haman's house, fifty cubits high."

rsv@Esther:8:1 @ On that day King Ahasu-e'rus gave to Queen Esther the house of Haman, the enemy of the Jews. And Mor'decai came before the king, for Esther had told what he was to her;

rsv@Esther:8:2 @ and the king took off his signet ring, which he had taken from Haman, and gave it to Mor'decai. And Esther set Mor'decai over the house of Haman.

rsv@Esther:8:3 @ Then Esther spoke again to the king; she fell at his feet and besought him with tears to avert the evil design of Haman the Ag'agite and the plot which he had devised against the Jews.

rsv@Esther:8:4 @ And the king held out the golden scepter to Esther,

rsv@Esther:8:5 @ and Esther rose and stood before the king.

rsv@Esther:8:6 @ For how can I endure to see the calamity that is coming to my people? Or how can I endure to see the destruction of my kindred?"

rsv@Esther:8:7 @ Then King Ahasu-e'rus said to Queen Esther and to Mor'decai the Jew, "Behold, I have given Esther the house of Haman, and they have hanged him on the gallows, because he would lay hands on the Jews.

rsv@Esther:8:8 @ And you may write as you please with regard to the Jews, in the name of the king, and seal it with the king's ring; for an edict written in the name of the king and sealed with the king's ring cannot be revoked."

rsv@Esther:8:9 @ The king's secretaries were summoned at that time, in the third month, which is the month of Sivan, on the twenty-third day; and an edict was written according to all that Mor'decai commanded concerning the Jews to the satraps and the governors and the princes of the provinces from India to Ethiopia, a hundred and twenty-seven provinces, to every province in its own script and to every people in its own language, and also to the Jews in their script and their language.

rsv@Esther:8:10 @ The writing was in the name of King Ahasu-e'rus and sealed with the king's ring, and letters were sent by mounted couriers riding on swift horses that were used in the king's service, bred from the royal stud.

rsv@Esther:8:11 @ By these the king allowed the Jews who were in every city to gather and defend their lives, to destroy, to slay, and to annihilate any armed force of any people or province that might attack them, with their children and women, and to plunder their goods,

rsv@Esther:8:17 @ And in every province and in every city, wherever the king's command and his edict came, there was gladness and joy among the Jews, a feast and a holiday. And many from the peoples of the country declared themselves Jews, for the fear of the Jews had fallen upon them.

rsv@Esther:9:4 @ For Mor'decai was great in the king's house, and his fame spread throughout all the provinces; for the man Mor'decai grew more and more powerful.

rsv@Esther:9:5 @ So the Jews smote all their enemies with the sword, slaughtering, and destroying them, and did as they pleased to those who hated them.

rsv@Esther:9:18 @ But the Jews who were in Susa gathered on the thirteenth day and on the fourteenth, and rested on the fifteenth day, making that a day of feasting and gladness.

rsv@Esther:9:19 @ Therefore the Jews of the villages, who live in the open towns, hold the fourteenth day of the month of Adar as a day for gladness and feasting and holiday-making, and a day on which they send choice portions to one another.

rsv@Esther:9:31 @ that these days of Purim should be observed at their appointed seasons, as Mor'decai the Jew and Queen Esther enjoined upon the Jews, and as they had laid down for themselves and for their descendants, with regard to their fasts and their lamenting.

rsv@Micah:4:12 @ But they do not know the thoughts of the LORD, they do not understand his plan, that he has gathered them as sheaves to the threshing floor.

rsv@Micah:5:3 @ Therefore he shall give them up until the time when she who is in travail has brought forth; then the rest of his brethren shall return to the people of Israel.

rsv@Micah:5:5 @ And this shall be peace, when the Assyrian comes into our land and treads upon our soil, that we will raise against him seven shepherds and eight princes of men;

rsv@Micah:5:8 @ And the remnant of Jacob shall be among the nations, in the midst of many peoples, like a lion among the beasts of the forest, like a young lion among the flocks of sheep, which, when it goes through, treads down and tears in pieces, and there is none to deliver.

rsv@Micah:6:13 @ Therefore I have begun to smite you, making you desolate because of your sins.

rsv@Micah:6:14 @ You shall eat, but not be satisfied, and there shall be hunger in your inward parts; you shall put away, but not save, and what you save I will give to the sword.

rsv@Micah:7:1 @ Woe is me! For I have become as when the summer fruit has been gathered, as when the vintage has been gleaned: there is no cluster to eat, no first-ripe fig which my soul desires.

rsv@Micah:7:2 @ The godly man has perished from the earth, and there is none upright among men; they all lie in wait for blood, and each hunts his brother with a net.

rsv@Micah:7:3 @ Their hands are upon what is evil, to do it diligently; the prince and the judge ask for a bribe, and the great man utters the evil desire of his soul; thus they weave it together.

rsv@Micah:7:5 @ Put no trust in a neighbor, have no confidence in a friend; guard the doors of your mouth from her who lies in your bosom;

rsv@Micah:7:6 @ for the son treats the father with contempt, the daughter rises up against her mother, the daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law; a man's enemies are the men of his own house.

rsv@Micah:7:10 @ Then my enemy will see, and shame will cover her who said to me, "Where is the LORD your God?" My eyes will gloat over her; now she will be trodden down like the mire of the streets.

rsv@Micah:7:14 @ Shepherd thy people with thy staff, the flock of thy inheritance, who dwell alone in a forest in the midst of a garden land; let them feed in Bashan and Gilead as in the days of old.

rsv@Micah:7:18 @ Who is a God like thee, pardoning iniquity and passing over transgression for the remnant of his inheritance? He does not retain his anger for ever because he delights in steadfast love.

rsv@Micah:7:20 @ Thou wilt show faithfulness to Jacob and steadfast love to Abraham, as thou hast sworn to our fathers from the days of old.

rsv@Nahum:1:4 @ He rebukes the sea and makes it dry, he dries up all the rivers; Bashan and Carmel wither, the bloom of Lebanon fades.

rsv@Nahum:2:7 @ its mistress is stripped, she is carried off, her maidens lamenting, moaning like doves, and beating their breasts.

rsv@Nahum:2:9 @ Plunder the silver, plunder the gold! There is no end of treasure, or wealth of every precious thing.

rsv@Nahum:2:11 @ Where is the lions' den, the cave of the young lions, where the lion brought his prey, where his cubs were, with none to disturb?

rsv@Nahum:3:4 @ And all for the countless harlotries of the harlot, graceful and of deadly charms, who betrays nations with her harlotries, and peoples with her charms.

rsv@Nahum:3:8 @ Are you better than Thebes that sat by the Nile, with water around her, her rampart a sea, and water her wall?

rsv@Nahum:3:9 @ Ethiopia was her strength, Egypt too, and that without limit; Put and the Libyans were her helpers.

rsv@Nahum:3:10 @ Yet she was carried away, she went into captivity; her little ones were dashed in pieces at the head of every street; for her honored men lots were cast, and all her great men were bound in chains.

rsv@Nahum:3:15 @ There will the fire devour you, the sword will cut you off. It will devour you like the locust. Multiply yourselves like the locust, multiply like the grasshopper!

rsv@Nahum:3:17 @ Your princes are like grasshoppers, your scribes like clouds of locusts settling on the fences in a day of cold--when the sun rises, they fly away; no one knows where they are.

rsv@Nahum:3:18 @ Your shepherds are asleep, O king of Assyria; your nobles slumber. Your people are scattered on the mountains with none to gather them.

rsv@Nahum:3:19 @ There is no assuaging your hurt, your wound is grievous. All who hear the news of you clap their hands over you. For upon whom has not come your unceasing evil?

rsv@Habakkuk:1:9 @ They all come for violence; terror of them goes before them. They gather captives like sand.

rsv@Habakkuk:1:15 @ He brings all of them up with a hook, he drags them out with his net, he gathers them in his seine; so he rejoices and exults.

rsv@Habakkuk:1:16 @ Therefore he sacrifices to his net and burns incense to his seine; for by them he lives in luxury, and his food is rich.

rsv@Habakkuk:2:5 @ Moreover, wine is treacherous; the arrogant man shall not abide. His greed is as wide as Sheol; like death he has never enough. He gathers for himself all nations, and collects as his own all peoples."

rsv@Habakkuk:2:8 @ Because you have plundered many nations, all the remnant of the peoples shall plunder you, for the blood of men and violence to the earth, to cities and all who dwell therein.

rsv@Habakkuk:2:17 @ The violence done to Lebanon will overwhelm you; the destruction of the beasts will terrify you, for the blood of men and violence to the earth, to cities and all who dwell therein.

rsv@Habakkuk:2:18 @ What profit is an idol when its maker has shaped it, a metal image, a teacher of lies? For the workman trusts in his own creation when he makes dumb idols!

rsv@Habakkuk:2:19 @ Woe to him who says to a wooden thing, Awake; to a dumb stone, Arise! Can this give revelation? Behold, it is overlaid with gold and silver, and there is no breath at all in it.

rsv@Habakkuk:3:4 @ His brightness was like the light, rays flashed from his hand; and there he veiled his power.

rsv@Habakkuk:3:17 @ Though the fig tree do not blossom, nor fruit be on the vines, the produce of the olive fail and the fields yield no food, the flock be cut off from the fold and there be no herd in the stalls,

rsv@Zephaniah:1:14 @ The great day of the LORD is near, near and hastening fast; the sound of the day of the LORD is bitter, the mighty man cries aloud there.

rsv@Zephaniah:1:18 @ Neither their silver nor their gold shall be able to deliver them on the day of the wrath of the LORD. In the fire of his jealous wrath, all the earth shall be consumed; for a full, yea, sudden end he will make of all the inhabitants of the earth.

rsv@Zephaniah:2:1 @ Come together and hold assembly, O shameless nation,

rsv@Zephaniah:2:2 @ before you are driven away like the drifting chaff, before there comes upon you the fierce anger of the LORD, before there comes upon you the day of the wrath of the LORD.

rsv@Zephaniah:2:5 @ Woe to you inhabitants of the seacoast, you nation of the Cher'ethites! The word of the LORD is against you, O Canaan, land of the Philistines; and I will destroy you till no inhabitant is left.

rsv@Zephaniah:2:6 @ And you, O seacoast, shall be pastures, meadows for shepherds and folds for flocks.

rsv@Zephaniah:2:9 @ Therefore, as I live," says the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel, "Moab shall become like Sodom, and the Ammonites like Gomor'rah, a land possessed by nettles and salt pits, and a waste for ever. The remnant of my people shall plunder them, and the survivors of my nation shall possess them."

rsv@Zephaniah:2:14 @ Herds shall lie down in the midst of her, all the beasts of the field; the vulture and the hedgehog shall lodge in her capitals; the owl shall hoot in the window, the raven croak on the threshold; for her cedar work will be laid bare.

rsv@Zephaniah:2:15 @ This is the exultant city that dwelt secure, that said to herself, "I am and there is none else." What a desolation she has become, a lair for wild beasts! Every one who passes by her hisses and shakes his fist.

rsv@Zephaniah:3:1 @ Woe to her that is rebellious and defiled, the oppressing city!

rsv@Zephaniah:3:2 @ She listens to no voice, she accepts no correction. She does not trust in the LORD, she does not draw near to her God.

rsv@Zephaniah:3:3 @ Her officials within her are roaring lions; her judges are evening wolves that leave nothing till the morning.

rsv@Zephaniah:3:4 @ Her prophets are wanton, faithless men; her priests profane what is sacred, they do violence to the law.

rsv@Zephaniah:3:5 @ The LORD within her is righteous, he does no wrong; every morning he shows forth his justice, each dawn he does not fail; but the unjust knows no shame.

rsv@Zephaniah:3:7 @ I said, `Surely she will fear me, she will accept correction; she will not lose sight of all that I have enjoined upon her.' But all the more they were eager to make all their deeds corrupt."

rsv@Zephaniah:3:8 @ "Therefore wait for me," says the LORD, "for the day when I arise as a witness. For my decision is to gather nations, to assemble kingdoms, to pour out upon them my indignation, all the heat of my anger; for in the fire of my jealous wrath all the earth shall be consumed.

rsv@Zephaniah:3:13 @ those who are left in Israel; they shall do no wrong and utter no lies, nor shall there be found in their mouth a deceitful tongue. For they shall pasture and lie down, and none shall make them afraid."

rsv@Zephaniah:3:19 @ Behold, at that time I will deal with all your oppressors. And I will save the lame and gather the outcast, and I will change their shame into praise and renown in all the earth.

rsv@Zephaniah:3:20 @ At that time I will bring you home, at the time when I gather you together; yea, I will make you renowned and praised among all the peoples of the earth, when I restore your fortunes before your eyes," says the LORD.

rsv@Haggai:1:5 @ Now therefore thus says the LORD of hosts: Consider how you have fared.

rsv@Haggai:1:10 @ Therefore the heavens above you have withheld the dew, and the earth has withheld its produce.

rsv@Haggai:2:14 @ Then Haggai said, "So is it with this people, and with this nation before me, says the LORD; and so with every work of their hands; and what they offer there is unclean.

rsv@Haggai:2:16 @ how did you fare? When one came to a heap of twenty measures, there were but ten; when one came to the winevat to draw fifty measures, there were but twenty.

rsv@Zechariah:1:2 @ "The LORD was very angry with your fathers.

rsv@Zechariah:1:3 @ Therefore say to them, Thus says the LORD of hosts: Return to me, says the LORD of hosts, and I will return to you, says the LORD of hosts.

rsv@Zechariah:1:4 @ Be not like your fathers, to whom the former prophets cried out, `Thus says the LORD of hosts, Return from your evil ways and from your evil deeds.' But they did not hear or heed me, says the LORD.

rsv@Zechariah:1:5 @ Your fathers, where are they? And the prophets, do they live for ever?

rsv@Zechariah:1:6 @ But my words and my statutes, which I commanded my servants the prophets, did they not overtake your fathers? So they repented and said, As the LORD of hosts purposed to deal with us for our ways and deeds, so has he dealt with us."

rsv@Zechariah:1:15 @ And I am very angry with the nations that are at ease; for while I was angry but a little they furthered the disaster.

rsv@Zechariah:1:16 @ Therefore, thus says the LORD, I have returned to Jerusalem with compassion; my house shall be built in it, says the LORD of hosts, and the measuring line shall be stretched out over Jerusalem.

rsv@Zechariah:2:2 @ Then I said, "Where are you going?" And he said to me, "To measure Jerusalem, to see what is its breadth and what is its length."

rsv@Zechariah:2:3 @ And behold, the angel who talked with me came forward, and another angel came forward to meet him,

rsv@Zechariah:2:5 @ For I will be to her a wall of fire round about, says the LORD, and I will be the glory within her.'"

rsv@Zechariah:2:12 @ And the LORD will inherit Judah as his portion in the holy land, and will again choose Jerusalem."

rsv@Zechariah:3:7 @ "Thus says the LORD of hosts: If you will walk in my ways and keep my charge, then you shall rule my house and have charge of my courts, and I will give you the right of access among those who are standing here.

rsv@Zechariah:4:3 @ And there are two olive trees by it, one on the right of the bowl and the other on its left."

rsv@Zechariah:5:7 @ And behold, the leaden cover was lifted, and there was a woman sitting in the ephah!

rsv@Zechariah:5:8 @ And he said, "This is Wickedness." And he thrust her back into the ephah, and thrust down the leaden weight upon its mouth.

rsv@Zechariah:5:10 @ Then I said to the angel who talked with me, "Where are they taking the ephah?"

rsv@Zechariah:5:11 @ He said to me, "To the land of Shinar, to build a house for it; and when this is prepared, they will set the ephah down there on its base."

rsv@Zechariah:6:13 @ It is he who shall build the temple of the LORD, and shall bear royal honor, and shall sit and rule upon his throne. And there shall be a priest by his throne, and peaceful understanding shall be between them both."'

rsv@Zechariah:7:7 @ When Jerusalem was inhabited and in prosperity, with her cities round about her, and the South and the lowland were inhabited, were not these the words which the LORD proclaimed by the former prophets?"

rsv@Zechariah:7:10 @ do not oppress the widow, the fatherless, the sojourner, or the poor; and let none of you devise evil against his brother in your heart."

rsv@Zechariah:7:12 @ They made their hearts like adamant lest they should hear the law and the words which the LORD of hosts had sent by his Spirit through the former prophets. Therefore great wrath came from the LORD of hosts.

rsv@Zechariah:8:2 @ "Thus says the LORD of hosts: I am jealous for Zion with great jealousy, and I am jealous for her with great wrath.

rsv@Zechariah:8:10 @ For before those days there was no wage for man or any wage for beast, neither was there any safety from the foe for him who went out or came in; for I set every man against his fellow.

rsv@Zechariah:8:12 @ For there shall be a sowing of peace; the vine shall yield its fruit, and the ground shall give its increase, and the heavens shall give their dew; and I will cause the remnant of this people to possess all these things.

rsv@Zechariah:8:14 @ For thus says the LORD of hosts: "As I purposed to do evil to you, when your fathers provoked me to wrath, and I did not relent, says the LORD of hosts,

rsv@Zechariah:8:16 @ These are the things that you shall do: Speak the truth to one another, render in your gates judgments that are true and make for peace,

rsv@Zechariah:9:2 @ Hamath also, which borders thereon, Tyre and Sidon, though they are very wise.

rsv@Zechariah:9:3 @ Tyre has built herself a rampart, and heaped up silver like dust, and gold like the dirt of the streets.

rsv@Zechariah:9:4 @ But lo, the Lord will strip her of her possessions and hurl her wealth into the sea, and she shall be devoured by fire.

rsv@Zechariah:10:2 @ For the teraphim utter nonsense, and the diviners see lies; the dreamers tell false dreams, and give empty consolation. Therefore the people wander like sheep; they are afflicted for want of a shepherd.

rsv@Zechariah:10:3 @ "My anger is hot against the shepherds, and I will punish the leaders; for the LORD of hosts cares for his flock, the house of Judah, and will make them like his proud steed in battle.

rsv@Zechariah:10:5 @ Together they shall be like mighty men in battle, trampling the foe in the mud of the streets; they shall fight because the LORD is with them, and they shall confound the riders on horses.

rsv@Zechariah:10:8 @ "I will signal for them and gather them in, for I have redeemed them, and they shall be as many as of old.

rsv@Zechariah:10:10 @ I will bring them home from the land of Egypt, and gather them from Assyria; and I will bring them to the land of Gilead and to Lebanon, till there is no room for them.

rsv@Zechariah:11:5 @ Those who buy them slay them and go unpunished; and those who sell them say, `Blessed be the LORD, I have become rich'; and their own shepherds have no pity on them.

rsv@Zechariah:11:6 @ For I will no longer have pity on the inhabitants of this land, says the LORD. Lo, I will cause men to fall each into the hand of his shepherd, and each into the hand of his king; and they shall crush the earth, and I will deliver none from their hand."

rsv@Zechariah:11:7 @ So I became the shepherd of the flock doomed to be slain for those who trafficked in the sheep. And I took two staffs; one I named Grace, the other I named Union. And I tended the sheep.

rsv@Zechariah:11:8 @ In one month I destroyed the three shepherds. But I became impatient with them, and they also detested me.

rsv@Zechariah:11:9 @ So I said, "I will not be your shepherd. What is to die, let it die; what is to be destroyed, let it be destroyed; and let those that are left devour the flesh of one another."

rsv@Zechariah:11:14 @ Then I broke my second staff Union, annulling the brotherhood between Judah and Israel.

rsv@Zechariah:11:15 @ Then the LORD said to me, "Take once more the implements of a worthless shepherd.

rsv@Zechariah:11:16 @ For lo, I am raising up in the land a shepherd who does not care for the perishing, or seek the wandering, or heal the maimed, or nourish the sound, but devours the flesh of the fat ones, tearing off even their hoofs.

rsv@Zechariah:11:17 @ Woe to my worthless shepherd, who deserts the flock! May the sword smite his arm and his right eye! Let his arm be wholly withered, his right eye utterly blinded!"

rsv@Zechariah:12:3 @ On that day I will make Jerusalem a heavy stone for all the peoples; all who lift it shall grievously hurt themselves. And all the nations of the earth will come together against it.

rsv@Zechariah:14:13 @ And on that day a great panic from the LORD shall fall on them, so that each will lay hold on the hand of his fellow, and the hand of the one will be raised against the hand of the other;

rsv@Zechariah:14:17 @ And if any of the families of the earth do not go up to Jerusalem to worship the King, the LORD of hosts, there will be no rain upon them.

rsv@Zechariah:14:20 @ And on that day there shall be inscribed on the bells of the horses, "Holy to the LORD." And the pots in the house of the LORD shall be as the bowls before the altar;

rsv@Malachi:1:10 @ Oh, that there were one among you who would shut the doors, that you might not kindle fire upon my altar in vain! I have no pleasure in you, says the LORD of hosts, and I will not accept an offering from your hand.
