bbe@Info @ The Bible In Basic English was translated by Professor S.H. Hoole and published in 1890. It was designed to be easy to understand. It consists of a vocabulary of only 1000 words; 850 basic english, 100 useful poetic and 50 Bible words.

bbe@Genesis:1:2 @And the earth was waste and without form; and it was dark on the face of the deep: and the Spirit of God was moving on the face of the waters.

bbe@Genesis:1:4 @And God, looking on the light, saw that it was good: and God made a division between the light and the dark,

bbe@Genesis:1:7 @And God made the arch for a division between the waters which were under the arch and those which were over it: and it was so.

bbe@Genesis:1:9 @And God said, Let the waters under the heaven come together in one place, and let the dry land be seen: and it was so.

bbe@Genesis:1:10 @And God gave the dry land the name of Earth; and the waters together in their place were named Seas: and God saw that it was good.

bbe@Genesis:1:11 @And God said, Let grass come up on the earth, and plants producing seed, and fruit-trees giving fruit, in which is their seed, after their sort: and it was so.

bbe@Genesis:1:12 @And grass came up on the earth, and every plant producing seed of its sort, and every tree producing fruit, in which is its seed, of its sort: and God saw that it was good.

bbe@Genesis:1:15 @And let them be for lights in the arch of heaven to give light on the earth: and it was so.

bbe@Genesis:1:18 @To have rule over the day and the night, and for a division between the light and the dark: and God saw that it was good.

bbe@Genesis:1:21 @And God made great sea-beasts, and every sort of living and moving thing with which the waters were full, and every sort of winged bird: and God saw that it was good.

bbe@Genesis:1:24 @And God said, Let the earth give birth to all sorts of living things, cattle and all things moving on the earth, and beasts of the earth after their sort: and it was so.

bbe@Genesis:1:25 @And God made the beast of the earth after its sort, and the cattle after their sort, and everything moving on the face of the earth after its sort: and God saw that it was good.

bbe@Genesis:1:28 @And God gave them his blessing and said to them, Be fertile and have increase, and make the earth full and be masters of it; be rulers over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the air and over every living thing moving on the earth.

bbe@Genesis:1:29 @And God said, See, I have given you every plant producing seed, on the face of all the earth, and every tree which has fruit producing seed: they will be for your food:

bbe@Genesis:1:30 @And to every beast of the earth and to every bird of the air and every living thing moving on the face of the earth I have given every green plant for food: and it was so.

bbe@Genesis:1:31 @And God saw everything which he had made and it was very good. And there was evening and there was morning, the sixth day.

bbe@Genesis:2:3 @And God gave his blessing to the seventh day and made it holy: because on that day he took his rest from all the work which he had made and done.

bbe@Genesis:2:10 @And a river went out of Eden giving water to the garden; and from there it was parted and became four streams.

bbe@Genesis:2:15 @And the Lord God took the man and put him in the garden of Eden to do work in it and take care of it.

bbe@Genesis:2:16 @And the Lord God gave the man orders, saying, You may freely take of the fruit of every tree of the garden:

bbe@Genesis:2:17 @But of the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil you may not take; for on the day when you take of it, death will certainly come to you.

bbe@Genesis:2:18 @And the Lord God said, It is not good for the man to be by himself: I will make one like himself as a help to him

bbe@Genesis:2:19 @And from the earth the Lord God made every beast of the field and every bird of the air, and took them to the man to see what names he would give them: and whatever name he gave to any living thing, that was its name.

bbe@Genesis:2:21 @And the Lord God sent a deep sleep on the man, and took one of the bones from his side while he was sleeping, joining up the flesh again in its place:

bbe@Genesis:2:25 @And the man and his wife were without clothing, and they had no sense of shame.

bbe@Genesis:3:1 @Now the snake was wiser than any beast of the field which the Lord God had made. And he said to the woman, Has God truly said that you may not take of the fruit of any tree in the garden?

bbe@Genesis:3:2 @And the woman said, We may take of the fruit of the trees in the garden:

bbe@Genesis:3:3 @But of the fruit of the tree in the middle of the garden, God has said, If you take of it or put your hands on it, death will come to you.

bbe@Genesis:3:5 @For God sees that on the day when you take of its fruit, your eyes will be open, and you will be as gods, having knowledge of good and evil.

bbe@Genesis:3:6 @And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and a delight to the eyes, and to be desired to make one wise, she took of its fruit, and gave it to her husband.

bbe@Genesis:3:7 @And their eyes were open and they were conscious that they had no clothing and they made themselves coats of leaves stitched together.

bbe@Genesis:3:10 @And he said, Hearing your voice in the garden I was full of fear, because I was without clothing: and I kept myself from your eyes

bbe@Genesis:3:11 @And he said, Who gave you the knowledge that you were without clothing? Have you taken of the fruit of the tree which I said you were not to take?

bbe@Genesis:3:12 @And the man said, The woman whom you gave to be with me, she gave me the fruit of the tree and I took it.

bbe@Genesis:3:13 @And the Lord God said to the woman, What have you done? And the woman said, I was tricked by the deceit of the snake and I took it.

bbe@Genesis:3:17 @And to Adam he said, Because you gave ear to the voice of your wife and took of the fruit of the tree which I said you were not to take, the earth is cursed on your account; in pain you will get your food from it all your life.

bbe@Genesis:3:19 @With the hard work of your hands you will get your bread till you go back to the earth from which you were taken: for dust you are and to the dust you will go back.

bbe@Genesis:3:22 @And the Lord God said, Now the man has become like one of us, having knowledge of good and evil; and now if he puts out his hand and takes of the fruit of the tree of life, he will go on living for ever.

bbe@Genesis:4:1 @And the man had connection with Eve his wife, and she became with child and gave birth to Cain, and said, I have got a man from the Lord.

bbe@Genesis:4:2 @Then again she became with child and gave birth to Abel, his brother. And Abel was a keeper of sheep, but Cain was a farmer.

bbe@Genesis:4:3 @And after a time, Cain gave to the Lord an offering of the fruits of the earth.

bbe@Genesis:4:4 @And Abel gave an offering of the young lambs of his flock and of their fat. And the Lord was pleased with Abel's offering;

bbe@Genesis:4:7 @If you do well, will you not have honour? and if you do wrong, sin is waiting at the door, desiring to have you, but do not let it be your master.

bbe@Genesis:4:12 @No longer will the earth give you her fruit as the reward of your work; you will be a wanderer in flight over the earth.

bbe@Genesis:4:17 @And Cain had connection with his wife and she became with child and gave birth to Enoch: and he made a town, and gave the town the name of Enoch after his son.

bbe@Genesis:4:25 @And Adam had connection with his wife again, and she gave birth to a son to whom she gave the name of Seth: for she said, God has given me another seed in place of Abel, whom Cain put to death.

bbe@Genesis:6:3 @And the Lord said, My spirit will not be in man for ever, for he is only flesh; so the days of his life will be a hundred and twenty years.

bbe@Genesis:6:4 @There were men of great strength and size on the earth in those days; and after that, when the sons of God had connection with the daughters of men, they gave birth to children: these were the great men of old days, the men of great name.

bbe@Genesis:6:9 @These are the generations of Noah. Noah was an upright man and without sin in his generation: he went in the ways of God.

bbe@Genesis:6:12 @And God, looking on the earth, saw that it was evil: for the way of all flesh had become evil on the earth.

bbe@Genesis:6:13 @And God said to Noah, The end of all flesh has come; the earth is full of their violent doings, and now I will put an end to them with the earth.

bbe@Genesis:6:14 @Make for yourself an ark of gopher wood with rooms in it, and make it safe from the water inside and out

bbe@Genesis:6:15 @And this is the way you are to make it: it is to be three hundred cubits long, fifty cubits wide, and thirty cubits high.

bbe@Genesis:6:16 @You are to put a window in the ark, a cubit from the roof, and a door in the side of it, and you are to make it with a lower and second and third floors.

bbe@Genesis:6:18 @But with you I will make an agreement; and you will come into the ark, you and your sons and your wife and your sons' wives with you.

bbe@Genesis:6:19 @And you will take with you into the ark two of every sort of living thing, and keep them safe with you; they will be male and female.

bbe@Genesis:6:20 @Two of every sort of bird and cattle and of every sort of living thing which goes on the earth will you take with you to keep them from destruction.

bbe@Genesis:7:7 @And Noah, with his sons and his wife and his sons' wives, went into the ark because of the flowing of the waters.

bbe@Genesis:7:9 @In twos, male and female, they went into the ark with Noah, as God had said.

bbe@Genesis:7:13 @On the same day Noah, with Shem, Ham, and Japheth, his sons, and his wife and his sons' wives, went into the ark;

bbe@Genesis:7:14 @And with them, every sort of beast and cattle, and every sort of thing which goes on the earth, and every sort of bird.

bbe@Genesis:7:15 @They went with Noah into the ark, two and two of all flesh in which is the breath of life.

bbe@Genesis:7:20 @The waters went fifteen cubits higher, till all the mountains were covered.

bbe@Genesis:7:22 @Everything on the dry land, in which was the breath of life, came to its end.

bbe@Genesis:7:23 @Every living thing on the face of all the earth, man and cattle and things moving on the face of the earth, and birds of the air, came to destruction: only Noah and those who were with him in the ark, were kept from death.

bbe@Genesis:8:1 @And God kept Noah in mind, and all the living things and the cattle which were with him in the ark: and God sent a wind over the earth, and the waters went down.

bbe@Genesis:8:10 @And after waiting another seven days, he sent the dove out again;

bbe@Genesis:8:17 @Take out with you every living thing which is with you, birds and cattle and everything which goes on the earth, so that they may have offspring and be fertile and be increased on the earth.

bbe@Genesis:8:18 @And Noah went out with his sons and his wife and his sons' wives;

bbe@Genesis:9:4 @But flesh with the life-blood in it you may not take for food.

bbe@Genesis:9:5 @And for your blood, which is your life, will I take payment; from every beast I will take it, and from every man will I take payment for the blood of his brother-man.

bbe@Genesis:9:9 @Truly, I will make my agreement with you and with your seed after you,

bbe@Genesis:9:10 @And with every living thing with you, all birds and cattle and every beast of the earth which comes out of the ark with you.

bbe@Genesis:9:11 @And I will make my agreement with you; never again will all flesh be cut off by the waters; never again will the waters come over all the earth for its destruction.

bbe@Genesis:9:12 @And God said, This is the sign of the agreement which I make between me and you and every living thing with you, for all future generations:

bbe@Genesis:9:13 @I will put my bow in the cloud and it will be for a sign of the agreement between me and the earth.

bbe@Genesis:9:16 @And the bow will be in the cloud, and looking on it, I will keep in mind the eternal agreement between God and every living thing on the earth.

bbe@Genesis:9:21 @And he took of the wine of it and was overcome by drink; and he was uncovered in his tent.

bbe@Genesis:9:22 @And Ham, the father of Canaan, saw his father unclothed, and gave news of it to his two brothers outside.

bbe@Genesis:9:23 @And Shem and Japheth took a robe, and putting it on their backs went in with their faces turned away, and put it over their father so that they might not see him unclothed.

bbe@Genesis:10:4 @And the sons of Javan: Elishah and Tarshish, the Kittim and the Dodanim.

bbe@Genesis:10:5 @From these came the nations of the sea-lands, with their different families and languages.

bbe@Genesis:10:11 @From that land he went out into Assyria, building Nineveh with its wide streets and Calah,

bbe@Genesis:10:16 @And the Jebusite and the Amorite and the Girgashite,

bbe@Genesis:10:17 @And the Hivite and the Arkite and the Sinite,

bbe@Genesis:10:18 @And the Arvadite and the Zemarite and the Hamathite; after that the families of the Canaanites went far and wide in all directions;

bbe@Genesis:10:20 @All these, with their different families, languages, lands, and nations, are the offspring of Ham.

bbe@Genesis:10:21 @And Shem, the older brother of Japheth, the father of the children of Eber, had other sons in addition.

bbe@Genesis:10:31 @These, with their families and their languages and their lands and their nations, are the offspring of Shem.

bbe@Genesis:11:2 @And it came about that in their wandering from the east, they came to a stretch of flat country in the land of Shinar, and there they made their living-place.

bbe@Genesis:11:3 @And they said one to another, Come, let us make bricks, burning them well. And they had bricks for stone, putting them together with sticky earth.

bbe@Genesis:11:6 @And the Lord said, See, they are all one people and have all one language; and this is only the start of what they may do: and now it will not be possible to keep them from any purpose of theirs.

bbe@Genesis:11:9 @So it was named Babel, because there the Lord took away the sense of all languages and from there the Lord sent them away over all the face of the earth.

bbe@Genesis:11:28 @And death came to Haran when he was with his father Terah in the land of his birth, Ur of the Chaldees.

bbe@Genesis:12:4 @So Abram went as the Lord had said to him, and Lot went with him: Abram was seventy-five years old when he went away from Haran.

bbe@Genesis:12:6 @And Abram went through the land till he came to Shechem, to the holy tree of Moreh. At that time, the Canaanites were still living in the land.

bbe@Genesis:12:10 @And because there was little food to be had in that land, he went down into Egypt.

bbe@Genesis:12:13 @Say, then, that you are my sister, and so it will be well with me because of you, and my life will be kept safe on your account

bbe@Genesis:12:14 @And so it was that when Abram came into Egypt, the men of Egypt, looking on the woman, saw that she was fair.

bbe@Genesis:12:20 @And Pharaoh gave orders to his men, and they sent him on his way, with his wife and all he had.

bbe@Genesis:13:1 @And Abram went up out of Egypt with his wife and all he had, and Lot with him, and they came in to the South.

bbe@Genesis:13:5 @And Lot, who went with him, had flocks and herds and tents;

bbe@Genesis:13:7 @And there was an argument between the keepers of Abram's cattle and the keepers of Lot's cattle: at that time the Canaanites and Perizzites were still living in the land.

bbe@Genesis:13:10 @And Lot, lifting up his eyes and looking an the valley of Jordan, saw that it was well watered everywhere, before the Lord had sent destruction on Sodom and Gomorrah; it was like the garden of the Lord, like the land of Egypt, on the way to Zoar.

bbe@Genesis:13:17 @Come, go through all the land from one end to the other for I will give it to you.

bbe@Genesis:14:2 @They made war with Bera, king of Sodom, and with Birsha, king of Gomorrah, Shinab, king of Admah, and Shemeber, king of Zeboiim, and the king of Bela (which is Zoar).

bbe@Genesis:14:6 @And the Horites in their mountain Seir, driving them as far as El-paran, which is near the waste land.

bbe@Genesis:14:7 @Then they came back to En-mishpat (which is Kadesh), making waste all the country of the Amalekites and of the Amorites living in Hazazon-tamar.

bbe@Genesis:14:8 @And the king of Sodom with the king of Gomorrah and the king of Admah and the king of Zeboiim and the king of Bela (that is Zoar), went out, and put their forces in position in the valley of Siddim,

bbe@Genesis:14:12 @And in addition they took Lot, Abram's brother's son, who was living in Sodom, and all his goods.

bbe@Genesis:14:13 @And one who had got away from the fight came and gave word of it to Abram the Hebrew, who was living by the holy tree of Mamre, the Amorite, the brother of Eshcol and Aner, who were friends of Abram.

bbe@Genesis:14:16 @And he got back all the goods, and Lot, his brother's son, with his goods and the women and the people.

bbe@Genesis:14:17 @And when he was coming back after putting to flight Chedorlaomer and the other kings, he had a meeting with the king of Sodom in the valley of Shaveh, that is, the King's Valley

bbe@Genesis:14:24 @Give me nothing but the food which the fighting-men who went with me have had; but let Aner and Eshcol and Mamre have their part of the goods.

bbe@Genesis:15:3 @And Abram said, You have given me no child, and a servant in my house will get the heritage.

bbe@Genesis:15:4 @Then said the Lord, This man will not get the heritage, but a son of your body will have your property after you.

bbe@Genesis:15:6 @And he had faith in the Lord, and it was put to his account as righteousness.

bbe@Genesis:15:7 @And he said to him, I am the Lord, who took you from Ur of the Chaldees, to give you this land for your heritage.

bbe@Genesis:15:8 @And he said, O Lord God, how may I be certain that it will be mine?

bbe@Genesis:15:10 @All these he took, cutting them in two and putting one half opposite the other, but not cutting the birds in two.

bbe@Genesis:15:14 @But I will be the judge of that nation whose servants they are, and they will come out from among them with great wealth.

bbe@Genesis:15:16 @And in the fourth generation they will come back here; for at present the sin of the Amorite is not full.

bbe@Genesis:15:17 @Then when the sun went down and it was dark, he saw a smoking fire and a flaming light which went between the parts of the bodies.

bbe@Genesis:15:18 @In that day the Lord made an agreement with Abram, and said, To your seed have I given this land from the river of Egypt to the great river, the river Euphrates:

bbe@Genesis:15:19 @The Kenite, the Kenizzite, and the Kadmonite,

bbe@Genesis:15:20 @And the Hittite, and the Perizzite, and the Rephaim,

bbe@Genesis:15:21 @And the Amorite, and the Canaanite, and the Girgashite, and the Jebusite.

bbe@Genesis:16:4 @And he went in to Hagar and she became with child, and when she saw that she was with child, she no longer had any respect for her master's wife.

bbe@Genesis:16:5 @And Sarai said to Abram, May my wrong be on you: I gave you my servant for your wife and when she saw that she was with child, she no longer had any respect for me: may the Lord be judge between you and me.

bbe@Genesis:16:6 @And Abram said, The woman is in your power; do with her whatever seems good to you. And Sarai was cruel to her, so that she went running away from her.

bbe@Genesis:16:9 @And the angel said to her, Go back, and put yourself under her authority.

bbe@Genesis:16:10 @And the angel of the Lord said, Your seed will be greatly increased so that it may not be numbered.

bbe@Genesis:16:11 @And the angel of the Lord said, See, you are with child and will give birth to a son, to whom you will give the name Ishmael, because the ears of the Lord were open to your sorrow.

bbe@Genesis:16:13 @And to the Lord who was talking with her she gave this name, You are a God who is seen; for she said, Have I not even here in the waste land had a vision of God and am still living?

bbe@Genesis:16:14 @So that fountain was named, Fountain of Life and Vision: it is between Kadesh and Bered.

bbe@Genesis:17:3 @And Abram went down on his face on the earth, and the Lord God went on talking with him, and said,

bbe@Genesis:17:4 @As for me, my agreement is made with you, and you will be the father of nations without end.

bbe@Genesis:17:8 @And to you and to your seed after you, I will give the land in which you are living, all the land of Canaan for an eternal heritage; and I will be their God.

bbe@Genesis:17:10 @And this is the agreement which you are to keep with me, you and your seed after you: every male among you is to undergo circumcision.

bbe@Genesis:17:11 @In the flesh of your private parts you are to undergo it, as a mark of the agreement between me and you.

bbe@Genesis:17:12 @Every male among you, from one generation to another, is to undergo circumcision when he is eight days old, with every servant whose birth takes place in your house, or for whom you gave money to someone of another country, and not of your seed.

bbe@Genesis:17:19 @And God said, Not so; but Sarah, your wife, will have a son, and you will give him the name Isaac, and I will make my agreement with him for ever and with his seed after him.

bbe@Genesis:17:21 @But my agreement will be with Isaac, to whom Sarah will give birth a year from this time.

bbe@Genesis:17:27 @And all the men of his house, those whose birth had taken place in the house and those whom he had got for money from men of other lands, underwent circumcision with him.

bbe@Genesis:18:5 @And let me get a bit of bread to keep up your strength, and after that you may go on your way: for this is why you have come to your servant. And they said, Let it be so.

bbe@Genesis:18:7 @And running to the herd, he took a young ox, soft and fat, and gave it to the servant and he quickly made it ready;

bbe@Genesis:18:8 @And he took butter and milk and the young ox which he had made ready and put it before them, waiting by them under the tree while they took food.

bbe@Genesis:18:13 @And the Lord said, Why was Sarah laughing and saying, Is it possible for me, being old, to give birth to a child?

bbe@Genesis:18:16 @And the men went on from there in the direction of Sodom; and Abraham went with them on their way.

bbe@Genesis:18:22 @And the men, turning from that place, went on to Sodom: but Abraham was still waiting before the Lord.

bbe@Genesis:18:23 @And Abraham came near, and said, Will you let destruction come on the upright with the sinners?

bbe@Genesis:18:24 @If by chance there are fifty upright men in the town, will you give the place to destruction and not have mercy on it because of the fifty upright men?

bbe@Genesis:18:25 @Let such a thing be far from you, to put the upright to death with the sinner: will not the judge of all the earth do right?

bbe@Genesis:18:26 @And the Lord said, If there are fifty upright men in the town, I will have mercy on it because of them.

bbe@Genesis:18:28 @If by chance there are five less than fifty upright men, will you give up all the town to destruction because of these five? And he said, I will not give it to destruction if there are forty-five.

bbe@Genesis:18:29 @And again he said to him, By chance there may be forty there. And he said, I will not do it if there are forty.

bbe@Genesis:18:30 @And he said, Let not the Lord be angry with me if I say, What if there are thirty there? And he said, I will not do it if there are thirty.

bbe@Genesis:18:33 @And the Lord went on his way when his talk with Abraham was ended, and Abraham went back to his place.

bbe@Genesis:19:3 @But he made his request more strongly, so they went with him into his house; and he got food ready for them, and made unleavened bread, of which they took.

bbe@Genesis:19:5 @And crying out to Lot, they said, Where are the men who came to your house this night? Send them out to us, so that we may take our pleasure with them.

bbe@Genesis:19:11 @But the men who were outside the door they made blind, all of them, small and great, so that they were tired out with looking for the door.

bbe@Genesis:19:16 @But while he was waiting, the men took him and his wife and his daughters by the hand, for the Lord had mercy on them, and put them outside the town.

bbe@Genesis:19:17 @And when they had put them out, he said, Go for your life, without looking back or waiting in the lowland; go quickly to the mountain or you will come to destruction.

bbe@Genesis:19:20 @This town, now, is near, and it is a little one: O, let me go there (is it not a little one?) so that my life may be safe.

bbe@Genesis:19:25 @And he sent destruction on those towns, with all the lowland and all the people of those towns and every green thing in the land.

bbe@Genesis:19:27 @And Abraham got up early in the morning and went to the place where he had been talking with the Lord:

bbe@Genesis:19:29 @So it came about that when God sent destruction on the towns of the lowland, he kept his word to Abraham, and sent Lot safely away when he put an end to the towns where he was living.

bbe@Genesis:19:30 @Then Lot went up out of Zoar to the mountain, and was living there with his two daughters, for fear kept him from living in Zoar: and he and his daughters made their living-place in a hole in the rock.

bbe@Genesis:19:34 @And on the day after, the older daughter said to the younger, Last night I was with my father; let us make him take much wine this night again, and do you go to him, so that we may have offspring by our father.

bbe@Genesis:19:36 @And so the two daughters of Lot were with child by their father.

bbe@Genesis:19:37 @And the older daughter had a son, and she gave him the name Moab: he is the father of the Moabites to this day.

bbe@Genesis:20:5 @Did he not say to me himself, She is my sister? and she herself said, He is my brother: with an upright heart and clean hands have I done this.

bbe@Genesis:20:6 @And God said to him in the dream, I see that you have done this with an upright heart, and I have kept you from sinning against me: for this reason I did not let you come near her.

bbe@Genesis:20:11 @And Abraham said, Because it seemed to me that there was no fear of God in this place, and that they might put me to death because of my wife.

bbe@Genesis:20:16 @And he said to Sarah, See, I have given to your brother a thousand bits of silver so that your wrong may be put right; now your honour is clear in the eyes of all.

bbe@Genesis:21:2 @And Sarah became with child, and gave Abraham a son when he was old, at the time named by God.

bbe@Genesis:21:6 @And Sarah said, God has given me cause for laughing, and everyone who has news of it will be laughing with me.

bbe@Genesis:21:9 @And Sarah saw the son of Hagar the Egyptian playing with Isaac.

bbe@Genesis:21:10 @So she said to Abraham, Send away that woman and her son: for the son of that woman is not to have a part in the heritage with my son Isaac.

bbe@Genesis:21:12 @But God said, Let it not be a grief to you because of the boy and Hagar his mother; give ear to whatever Sarah says to you, because it is from Isaac that your seed will take its name.

bbe@Genesis:21:16 @And she went some distance away, about an arrow flight, and seating herself on the earth, she gave way to bitter weeping, saying, Let me not see the death of my child.

bbe@Genesis:21:20 @And God was with the boy, and he became tall and strong, and he became a bowman, living in the waste land.

bbe@Genesis:21:22 @Now at that time, Abimelech and Phicol, the captain of his army, said to Abraham, I see that God is with you in all you do.

bbe@Genesis:21:26 @But Abimelech said, I have no idea who has done this thing; you never gave me word of it, and I had no knowledge of it till this day.

bbe@Genesis:21:30 @And he said, Take these seven lambs from me as a witness that I have made this water-hole.

bbe@Genesis:22:3 @And Abraham got up early in the morning, and made ready his ass, and took with him two of his young men and Isaac, his son, and after the wood for the burned offering had been cut, he went on his way to the place of which God had given him word.

bbe@Genesis:22:5 @Then he said to his young men, Keep here with the ass; and I and the boy will go on and give worship and come back again to you.

bbe@Genesis:22:9 @And they came to the place of which God had given him knowledge; and there Abraham made the altar and put the wood in place on it, and having made tight the bands round Isaac his son, he put him on the wood on the altar.

bbe@Genesis:22:13 @And lifting up his eyes, Abraham saw a sheep fixed by its horns in the brushwood: and Abraham took the sheep and made a burned offering of it in place of his son.

bbe@Genesis:22:14 @And Abraham gave that place the name Yahweh-yireh: as it is said to this day, In the mountain the Lord is seen.

bbe@Genesis:23:9 @That he will give me the hollow in the rock named Machpelah, which is his property at the end of his field; let him give it to me for its full price as a resting-place for my dead among you.

bbe@Genesis:23:10 @Now Ephron was seated among the children of Heth: and Ephron the Hittite gave Abraham his answer in the hearing of the children of Heth, and of all those who came into his town, saying,

bbe@Genesis:23:11 @No, my lord, I will give you the field with the hollow in the rock; before all the children of my people will I give it to you for a resting-place for your dead.

bbe@Genesis:23:13 @And Abraham said to Ephron, in the hearing of the people of the land, If only you will give ear to me, I will give you the price of the field; take it, and let me put my dead to rest there.

bbe@Genesis:23:17 @So Ephron's field at Machpelah near Mamre, with the hollow in the rock and all the trees in the field and round it,

bbe@Genesis:24:3 @And take an oath by the Lord, the God of heaven and the God of the earth, that you will not get a wife for my son Isaac from the daughters of the Canaanites among whom I am living;

bbe@Genesis:24:5 @And the servant said, If by chance the woman will not come with me into this land, am I to take your son back again to the land from which you came?

bbe@Genesis:24:8 @And if the woman will not come with you, then you are free from this oath; only do not take my son back there.

bbe@Genesis:24:13 @See, I am waiting here by the water-spring; and the daughters of the town are coming out to get water:

bbe@Genesis:24:15 @And even before his words were ended, Rebekah, the daughter of Bethuel, the son of Milcah, who was the wife of Nahor, Abraham's brother, came out with her water-vessel on her arm.

bbe@Genesis:24:17 @And the servant came running to her and said, Give me a little water from your vessel.

bbe@Genesis:24:21 @And the man, looking at her, said nothing, waiting to see if the Lord had given his journey a good outcome.

bbe@Genesis:24:26 @And with bent head the man gave worship to the Lord;

bbe@Genesis:24:30 @And when he saw the nose-ring and the ornaments on his sister's hands, and when she gave him word of what the man had said to her, then he went out to the man who was waiting with the camels by the water-spring.

bbe@Genesis:24:31 @And he said to him, Come in, you on whom is the blessing of the Lord; why are you waiting outside? for I have made the house ready for you, and a place for the camels.

bbe@Genesis:24:32 @Then the man came into the house, and Laban took their cords off the camels and gave them dry grass and food, and he gave to him and the men who were with him water for washing their feet.

bbe@Genesis:24:37 @And my master made me take an oath, saying, Do not get a wife for my son from the daughters of the Canaanites among whom I am living;

bbe@Genesis:24:39 @And I said to my master, What if the woman will not come with me?

bbe@Genesis:24:40 @And he said, The Lord, whom I have ever kept before me, will send his angel with you, who will make it possible for you to get a wife for my son from my relations and my father's house;

bbe@Genesis:24:42 @And I came today to the water-spring, and I said, O Lord, the God of my master Abraham, if it is your purpose to give a good outcome to my journey,

bbe@Genesis:24:43 @Let it come about that, while I am waiting here by the water-spring, if a girl comes to get water and I say to her, Give me a little water from your vessel, and she says,

bbe@Genesis:24:45 @And even while I was saying this to myself, Rebekah came out with her vessel on her arm; and she went down to the spring to get water; and I said to her, Give me a drink.

bbe@Genesis:24:48 @And with bent head I gave worship and praise to the Lord, the God of my master Abraham, by whom I had been guided in the right way, to get the daughter of my master's brother for his son.

bbe@Genesis:24:49 @And now, say if you will do what is good and right for my master or not, in order that it may be clear to me what I have to do.

bbe@Genesis:24:50 @Then Laban and Bethuel said in answer, This is the Lord's doing: it is not for us to say Yes or No to you.

bbe@Genesis:24:54 @Then he and the men who were with him had food and drink, and took their rest there that night; and in the morning he got up, and said, Let me now go back to my master.

bbe@Genesis:24:55 @But her brother and her mother said, Let the girl be with us a week or ten days, and then she may go.

bbe@Genesis:24:58 @And they sent for Rebekah and said to her, Are you ready to go with this man? And she said, I am ready.

bbe@Genesis:24:59 @So they sent their sister Rebekah and her servant with Abraham's servant and his men.

bbe@Genesis:24:61 @So Rebekah and her servant-women went with the man, seated on the camels; and so the servant took Rebekah and went on his way.

bbe@Genesis:24:65 @And said to the servant, Who is that man coming to us through the field? And the servant said, It is my master: then she took her veil, covering her face with it.

bbe@Genesis:25:8 @And Abraham came to his death, an old man, full of years; and he was put to rest with his people.

bbe@Genesis:25:9 @And Isaac and Ishmael, his sons, put him to rest in the hollow rock of Machpelah, in the field of Ephron, the son of Zohar the Hittite, near Mamre;

bbe@Genesis:25:10 @The same field which Abraham got from the children of Heth: there Abraham was put to rest with Sarah, his wife.

bbe@Genesis:25:11 @Now after the death of Abraham, the blessing of God was with Isaac, his son.

bbe@Genesis:25:16 @These are the sons of Ishmael, and these are their names in their towns and their tent-circles; twelve chiefs with their peoples.

bbe@Genesis:25:17 @And the years of Ishmael's life were a hundred and thirty-seven: and he came to his end, and was put to rest with his people.

bbe@Genesis:25:21 @Isaac made prayer to the Lord for his wife because she had no children; and the Lord gave ear to his prayer, and Rebekah became with child.

bbe@Genesis:25:22 @And the children were fighting together inside her, and she said, If it is to be so, why am I like this? So she went to put her question to the Lord.

bbe@Genesis:25:30 @And Esau said to Jacob, Give me a full meal of that red soup, for I am overcome with need for food: for this reason he was named Edom.

bbe@Genesis:25:32 @And Esau said, Truly, I am at the point of death: what profit is the birthright to me?

bbe@Genesis:25:34 @Then Jacob gave him bread and soup; and he took food and drink and went away, caring little for his birthright.

bbe@Genesis:26:3 @Keep in this land, and I will be with you and give you my blessing; for to you and to your seed will I give all these lands, giving effect to the oath which I made to your father Abraham;

bbe@Genesis:26:8 @And when he had been there for some time, Abimelech, king of the Philistines, looking through a window, saw Isaac playing with Rebekah his wife.

bbe@Genesis:26:9 @And he said to Isaac, It is clear that she is your wife: why then did you say, She is my sister? And Isaac said, For fear that I might be put to death because of her.

bbe@Genesis:26:10 @Then Abimelech said, What have you done to us? one of the people might well have had connection with your wife, and the sin would have been ours.

bbe@Genesis:26:12 @Now Isaac, planting seed in that land, got in the same year fruit a hundred times as much, for the blessing of the Lord was on him.

bbe@Genesis:26:15 @Now all the water-holes, which his father's servants had made in the days of Abraham, had been stopped up with earth by the Philistines.

bbe@Genesis:26:20 @But the herdmen of Gerar had a fight with Isaac's herdmen, for they said, The spring is ours: so he gave the spring the name of Esek, because there was a fight about it.

bbe@Genesis:26:21 @Then they made another water-hole, and there was a fight about that, so he gave it the name of Sitnah.

bbe@Genesis:26:22 @Then he went away from there, and made another water-hole, about which there was no fighting: so he gave it the name of Rehoboth, for he said, Now the Lord has made room for us, and we will have fruit in this land.

bbe@Genesis:26:24 @That night the Lord came to him in a vision, and said, I am the God of your father Abraham: have no fear for I am with you, blessing you, and your seed will be increased because of my servant Abraham.

bbe@Genesis:26:26 @And Abimelech had come to him from Gerar, with Ahuzzath his friend and Phicol, the captain of his army.

bbe@Genesis:26:28 @And they said, We saw clearly that the Lord was with you: so we said, Let there be an oath between us and you, and let us make an agreement with you;

bbe@Genesis:26:33 @And he gave it the name of Shibah: so the name of that town is Beer-sheba to this day.

bbe@Genesis:26:34 @And when Esau was forty years old, he took as his wives Judith, the daughter of Beeri the Hittite, and Basemath, the daughter of Elon the Hittite:

bbe@Genesis:27:4 @And make me food, good to the taste, such as is pleasing to me, and put it before me, so that I may have a meal and give you my blessing before death comes to me.

bbe@Genesis:27:10 @And you will take it to him, so that he may have a good meal and give you his blessing before his death.

bbe@Genesis:27:11 @And Jacob said to Rebekah, his mother, But Esau my brother is covered with hair, while I am smooth:

bbe@Genesis:27:12 @If by chance my father puts his hand on me, it will seem to him that I am tricking him, and he will put a curse on me in place of a blessing.

bbe@Genesis:27:15 @And Rebekah took the fair robes of her oldest son, which were with her in the house, and put them on Jacob, her younger son:

bbe@Genesis:27:20 @And Isaac said, How is it that you have got it so quickly, my son? And he said, Because the Lord your God made it come my way.

bbe@Genesis:27:23 @And he did not make out who he was, because his hands were covered with hair like his brother Esau's hands: so he gave him a blessing.

bbe@Genesis:27:25 @And he said, Put it before me and I will take of my son's meat, so that I may give you a blessing. And he put it before him and he took it; and he gave him wine, and he had a drink.

bbe@Genesis:27:31 @And he made ready a meal, good to the taste, and took it to his father, and said to him, Let my father get up and take of his son's meat, so that you may give me a blessing.

bbe@Genesis:27:33 @And in great fear Isaac said, Who then is he who got meat and put it before me, and I took it all before you came, and gave him a blessing, and his it will be?

bbe@Genesis:27:34 @And hearing the words of his father, Esau gave a great and bitter cry, and said to his father, Give a blessing to me, even to me, O my father!

bbe@Genesis:27:35 @And he said, Your brother came with deceit, and took away your blessing.

bbe@Genesis:27:36 @And he said, Is it because he is named Jacob that he has twice taken my place? for he took away my birthright, and now he has taken away my blessing. And he said, Have you not kept a blessing for me?

bbe@Genesis:27:37 @And Isaac answering said, But I have made him your master, and have given him all his brothers for servants; I have made him strong with grain and wine: what then am I to do for you, my son?

bbe@Genesis:27:38 @And Esau said to his father, Is that the only blessing you have, my father? give a blessing to me, even me! And Esau was overcome with weeping.

bbe@Genesis:27:42 @Then Rebekah, hearing what Esau had said, sent for Jacob, her younger son, and said to him, It seems that your brother Esau is purposing to put you to death.

bbe@Genesis:27:44 @And be there with him for a little time, till your brother's wrath is turned away;

bbe@Genesis:28:3 @And may God, the Ruler of all, give you his blessing, giving you fruit and increase, so that you may become an army of peoples.

bbe@Genesis:28:4 @And may God give you the blessing of Abraham, to you and to your seed, so that the land of your wanderings, which God gave to Abraham, may be your heritage.

bbe@Genesis:28:8 @It was clear to Esau that his father had no love for the women of Canaan,

bbe@Genesis:28:9 @So Esau went to Ishmael and took Mahalath, the daughter of Abraham's son Ishmael, the sister of Nebaioth, to be his wife in addition to the wives he had.

bbe@Genesis:28:11 @And coming to a certain place, he made it his resting-place for the night, for the sun had gone down; and he took one of the stones which were there, and putting it under his head he went to sleep in that place.

bbe@Genesis:28:15 @And truly, I will be with you, and will keep you wherever you go, guiding you back again to this land; and I will not give you up till I have done what I have said to you

bbe@Genesis:28:16 @And Jacob, awaking from his sleep, said, Truly, the Lord is in this place and I was not conscious of it.

bbe@Genesis:28:18 @And early in the morning Jacob took the stone which had been under his head, and put it up as a pillar and put oil on it.

bbe@Genesis:28:20 @Then Jacob took an oath, and said, If God will be with me, and keep me safe on my journey, and give me food and clothing to put on,

bbe@Genesis:29:2 @And there he saw a water-hole in a field, and by the side of it three flocks of sheep, for there they got water for the sheep: and on the mouth of the water-hole there was a great stone.

bbe@Genesis:29:3 @And all the flocks would come together there, and when the stone had been rolled away, they would give the sheep water, and put the stone back again in its place on the mouth of the water-hole.

bbe@Genesis:29:6 @And he said to them, Is he well? And they said, He is well, and here is Rachel his daughter coming with the sheep.

bbe@Genesis:29:7 @Then Jacob said, The sun is still high and it is not time to get the cattle together: get water for the sheep and go and give them their food.

bbe@Genesis:29:9 @While he was still talking with them, Rachel came with her father's sheep, for she took care of them.

bbe@Genesis:29:10 @Then when Jacob saw Rachel, the daughter of Laban, his mother's brother, coming with Laban's sheep, he came near, and rolling the stone away from the mouth of the hole, he got water for Laban's flock.

bbe@Genesis:29:12 @And Rachel, hearing from Jacob that he was her father's relation and that he was the son of Rebekah, went running to give her father news of it.

bbe@Genesis:29:14 @And Laban said to him, Truly, you are my bone and my flesh. And he kept Jacob with him for the space of a month.

bbe@Genesis:29:18 @And Jacob was in love with Rachel; and he said, I will be your servant seven years for Rachel, your younger daughter.

bbe@Genesis:29:19 @And Laban said, It is better for you to have her than another man: go on living here with me.

bbe@Genesis:29:20 @And Jacob did seven years' work for Rachel; and because of his love for her it seemed to him only a very little time.

bbe@Genesis:29:24 @And Laban gave Zilpah, his servant-girl, to Leah, to be her waiting-woman.

bbe@Genesis:29:25 @And in the morning Jacob saw that it was Leah: and he said to Laban, What have you done to me? was I not working for you so that I might have Rachel? why have you been false to me?

bbe@Genesis:29:27 @Let the week of the bride-feast come to its end and then we will give you the other in addition, if you will be my servant for another seven years.

bbe@Genesis:29:29 @And Laban gave Rachel his servant-girl Bilhah to be her waiting-woman.

bbe@Genesis:29:32 @And Leah was with child, and gave birth to a son to whom she gave the name Reuben: for she said, The Lord has seen my sorrow; now my husband will have love for me.

bbe@Genesis:29:33 @Then she became with child again, and gave birth to a son; and said, Because it has come to the Lord's ears that I am not loved, he has given me this son in addition: and she gave him the name Simeon.

bbe@Genesis:29:34 @And she was with child again, and gave birth to a son; and said, Now at last my husband will be united to me, because I have given him three sons: so he was named Levi.

bbe@Genesis:29:35 @And she was with child again, and gave birth to a son: and she said, This time I will give praise to the Lord: so he was named Judah; after this she had no more children for a time.

bbe@Genesis:30:2 @But Jacob was angry with Rachel, and said, Am I in the place of God, who has kept your body from having fruit?

bbe@Genesis:30:5 @And Bilhah became with child, and gave birth to a son.

bbe@Genesis:30:7 @And again Bilhah, Rachel's servant, was with child, and gave birth to a second son.

bbe@Genesis:30:8 @And Rachel said, I have had a great fight with my sister, and I have overcome her: and she gave the child the name Naphtali.

bbe@Genesis:30:9 @When it was clear to Leah that she would have no more children for a time, she gave Zilpah, her servant, to Jacob as a wife.

bbe@Genesis:30:11 @And Leah said, It has gone well for me: and she gave him the name Gad.

bbe@Genesis:30:13 @And Leah said, Happy am I! and all women will give witness to my joy: and she gave him the name Asher.

bbe@Genesis:30:14 @Now at the time of the grain-cutting, Reuben saw some love-fruits in the field, and took them to his mother Leah. And Rachel said to her, Let me have some of your son's love-fruits.

bbe@Genesis:30:15 @But Leah said to her, Is it a small thing that you have taken my husband from me? and now would you take my son's love-fruits? Then Rachel said, You may have him tonight in exchange for your son's love-fruits.

bbe@Genesis:30:16 @In the evening, when Jacob came in from the field, Leah went out to him and said, Tonight you are to come to me, for I have given my son's love-fruits as a price for you. And he went in to her that night.

bbe@Genesis:30:17 @And God gave ear to her and she became with child, and gave Jacob a fifth son.

bbe@Genesis:30:19 @And again Leah became with child, and she gave Jacob a sixth son

bbe@Genesis:30:20 @And she said, God has given me a good bride-price; now at last will I have my husband living with me, for I have given him six sons: and she gave him the name Zebulun.

bbe@Genesis:30:23 @And she was with child, and gave birth to a son: and she said, God has taken away my shame.

bbe@Genesis:30:28 @Say then what your payment is to be and I will give it.

bbe@Genesis:30:30 @For before I came you had little, and it has been greatly increased; and the Lord has given you a blessing in everything I have done; but when am I to do something for my family?

bbe@Genesis:30:34 @And Laban said, Let it be as you say.

bbe@Genesis:30:35 @So that day he took all the he-goats which were banded or coloured, and all the she-goats which were marked or coloured or had white marks, and all the black sheep, and gave them into the care of his sons;

bbe@Genesis:30:37 @Then Jacob took young branches of trees, cutting off the skin so that the white wood was seen in bands.

bbe@Genesis:30:38 @And he put the banded sticks in the drinking-places where the flock came to get water; and they became with young when they came to the water.

bbe@Genesis:30:39 @And because of this, the flock gave birth to young which were marked with bands of colour.

bbe@Genesis:30:40 @These lambs Jacob kept separate; and he put his flock in a place by themselves and not with Laban's flock.

bbe@Genesis:30:41 @And whenever the stronger ones of the flock became with young, Jacob put the sticks in front of them in the drinking-places, so that they might become with young when they saw the sticks.

bbe@Genesis:31:1 @Now it came to the ears of Jacob that Laban's sons were saying, Jacob has taken away all our father's property, and in this way he has got all this wealth.

bbe@Genesis:31:2 @And Jacob saw that Laban's feeling for him was no longer what it had been before.

bbe@Genesis:31:3 @Then the Lord said to Jacob, Go back to the land of your fathers, and to your relations, and I will be with you.

bbe@Genesis:31:5 @And he said to them, It is clear to me that your father's feeling is no longer what it was to me; but the God of my father has been with me

bbe@Genesis:31:7 @But your father has not kept faith with me, and ten times he has made changes in my payment; but God has kept him from doing me damage.

bbe@Genesis:31:10 @And at the time when the flock were with young, I saw in a dream that all the he-goats which were joined with the she-goats were banded and marked and coloured.

bbe@Genesis:31:14 @Then Rachel and Leah said to him in answer, What part or heritage is there for us in our father's house?

bbe@Genesis:31:15 @Are we not as people from a strange country to him? for he took a price for us and now it is all used up.

bbe@Genesis:31:20 @And Jacob went away secretly, without giving news of his flight to Laban the Aramaean.

bbe@Genesis:31:21 @So he went away with all he had, and went across the River in the direction of the hill-country of Gilead

bbe@Genesis:31:23 @And taking the men of his family with him, he went after him for seven days and overtook him in the hill-country of Gilead.

bbe@Genesis:31:27 @Why did you make a secret of your flight, not giving me word of it, so that I might have sent you away with joy and songs, with melody and music?

bbe@Genesis:31:29 @It is in my power to do you damage: but the God of your father came to me this night, saying, Take care that you say nothing good or bad to Jacob.

bbe@Genesis:31:30 @And now, it seems, you are going because your heart's desire is for your father's house; but why have you taken my gods?

bbe@Genesis:31:32 @As for your gods, if anyone of us has them, let him be put to death: make search before us all for what is yours, and take it. For Jacob had no knowledge that Rachel had taken them.

bbe@Genesis:31:35 @And she said to her father, Let not my lord be angry because I do not get up before you, for I am in the common condition of women. And with all his searching, he did not come across the images.

bbe@Genesis:31:36 @Then Jacob was angry with Laban, and said, What crime or sin have I done that you have come after me with such passion?

bbe@Genesis:31:37 @Now that you have made search through all my goods, what have you seen which is yours? Make it clear now before my people and your people, so that they may be judges between us.

bbe@Genesis:31:38 @These twenty years I have been with you; your sheep and your goats have had young without loss, not one of your he-goats have I taken for food.

bbe@Genesis:31:39 @Anything which was wounded by beasts I did not take to you, but myself made up for the loss of it; you made me responsible for whatever was taken by thieves, by day or by night.

bbe@Genesis:31:40 @This was my condition, wasted by heat in the day and by the bitter cold at night; and sleep went from my eyes.

bbe@Genesis:31:42 @If the God of my father, the God of Abraham and the Fear of Isaac, had not been with me, you would have sent me away with nothing in my hands. But God has seen my troubles and the work of my hands, and this night he kept you back.

bbe@Genesis:31:44 @Come, let us make an agreement, you and I; and let it be for a witness between us.

bbe@Genesis:31:45 @Then Jacob took a stone and put it up as a pillar.

bbe@Genesis:31:47 @And the name Laban gave it was Jegar-sahadutha: but Jacob gave it the name of Galeed.

bbe@Genesis:31:48 @And Laban said, These stones are a witness between you and me today. For this reason its name was Galeed,

bbe@Genesis:31:50 @If you are cruel to my daughters, or if you take other wives in addition to my daughters, then though no man is there to see, God will be the witness between us.

bbe@Genesis:31:52 @They will be witness that I will not go over these stones to you, and you will not go over these stones or this pillar to me, for any evil purpose.

bbe@Genesis:32:1 @And on his way Jacob came face to face with the angels of God.

bbe@Genesis:32:4 @And he gave them orders to say these words to Esau: Your servant Jacob says, Till now I have been living with Laban:

bbe@Genesis:32:6 @When the servants came back they said, We have seen your brother Esau and he is coming out to you, and four hundred men with him.

bbe@Genesis:32:10 @I am less than nothing in comparison with all your mercies and your faith to me your servant; for with only my stick in my hand I went across Jordan, and now I have become two armies.

bbe@Genesis:32:15 @Thirty camels with their young ones, forty cows, ten oxen, twenty asses, and ten young asses.

bbe@Genesis:32:16 @These he gave to his servants, every herd by itself, and he said to his servants, Go on before me, and let there be a space between one herd and another.

bbe@Genesis:32:19 @And he gave the same orders to the second and the third and to all those who were with the herds, saying, This is what you are to say to Esau when you see him;

bbe@Genesis:32:20 @And you are to say further, Jacob, your servant, is coming after us. For he said to himself, I will take away his wrath by the offering which I have sent on, and then I will come before him: it may be that I will have grace in his eyes.

bbe@Genesis:32:21 @So the servants with the offerings went on in front, and he himself took his rest that night in the tents with his people.

bbe@Genesis:32:22 @And in the night he got up, and taking with him his two wives and the two servant-women and his eleven children, he went over the river Jabbok.

bbe@Genesis:32:23 @He took them and sent them over the stream with all he had

bbe@Genesis:32:24 @Then Jacob was by himself; and a man was fighting with him till dawn.

bbe@Genesis:32:28 @And he said, Your name will no longer be Jacob, but Israel: for in your fight with God and with men you have overcome.

bbe@Genesis:32:31 @And while he was going past Peniel, the sun came up. And he went with unequal steps because of his damaged leg.

bbe@Genesis:33:1 @Then Jacob, lifting up his eyes, saw Esau coming with his four hundred men. So he made a division of the children between Leah and Rachel and the two women-servants.

bbe@Genesis:33:4 @Then Esau came running up to him, and folding him in his arms, gave him a kiss: and the two of them were overcome with weeping.

bbe@Genesis:33:5 @Then Esau, lifting up his eyes, saw the women and the children, and said, Who are these with you? And he said, The children whom God in his mercy has given to your servant.

bbe@Genesis:33:7 @And Leah came near with her children, and then Joseph and Rachel, and they did the same.

bbe@Genesis:33:10 @And Jacob said, Not so; but if I have grace in your eyes, take them as a sign of my love, for I have seen your face as one may see the face of God, and you have been pleased with me.

bbe@Genesis:33:11 @Take my offering then, with my blessing; for God has been very good to me and I have enough: so at his strong request, he took it.

bbe@Genesis:33:15 @And Esau said, Then keep some of my men with you. And he said, What need is there for that, if my lord is pleased with me?

bbe@Genesis:33:19 @And for a hundred bits of money he got from the children of Hamor, the builder of Shechem, the field in which he had put up his tents.

bbe@Genesis:33:20 @And there he put up an altar, naming it El, the God of Israel.

bbe@Genesis:34:2 @And when Shechem, the son of Hamor the Hivite who was the chief of that land, saw her, he took her by force and had connection with her.

bbe@Genesis:34:5 @Now Jacob had word of what Shechem had done to his daughter; but his sons were in the fields with the cattle, and Jacob said nothing till they came.

bbe@Genesis:34:6 @Then Hamor, the father of Shechem, came out to have a talk with Jacob.

bbe@Genesis:34:7 @Now the sons of Jacob came in from the fields when they had news of it, and they were wounded and very angry because of the shame he had done in Israel by having connection with Jacob's daughter; and they said, Such a thing is not to be done.

bbe@Genesis:34:10 @Go on living with us, and the country will be open to you; do trade and get property there.

bbe@Genesis:34:12 @However great you make the bride-price and payment, I will give it; only let me have the girl for my wife.

bbe@Genesis:34:14 @And they said, It is not possible for us to give our sister to one who is without circumcision, for that would be a cause of shame to us:

bbe@Genesis:34:15 @But on this condition only will we come to an agreement with you: if every male among you becomes like us and undergoes circumcision;

bbe@Genesis:34:16 @Then we will give our daughters to you and take your daughters to us and go on living with you as one people.

bbe@Genesis:34:19 @And without loss of time the young man did as they said, because he had delight in Jacob's daughter, and he was the noblest of his father's house.

bbe@Genesis:34:21 @It is the desire of these men to be at peace with us; let them then go on living in this country and doing trade here, for the country is wide open before them; let us take their daughters as wives and let us give them our daughters.

bbe@Genesis:34:22 @But these men will make an agreement with us to go on living with us and to become one people, only on the condition that every male among us undergoes circumcision as they have done.

bbe@Genesis:34:23 @Then will not their cattle and their goods and all their beasts be ours? so let us come to an agreement with them so that they may go on living with us.

bbe@Genesis:34:26 @And Hamor and his son they put to death with the sword, and they took Dinah from Shechem's house and went away.

bbe@Genesis:34:29 @And all their wealth and all their little ones and their wives; everything in their houses they took and made them waste.

bbe@Genesis:34:30 @And Jacob said to Simeon and Levi, You have made trouble for me and given me a bad name among the people of this country, among the Canaanites and the Perizzites: and because we are small in number they will come together against me and make war on me; and it will be the end of me and all my people.

bbe@Genesis:35:3 @And let us go up to Beth-el: and there I will make an altar to God, who gave me an answer in the day of my trouble, and was with me wherever I went.

bbe@Genesis:35:7 @And there he made an altar, naming the place El-beth-el: because it was there he had the vision of God when he was in flight from his brother.

bbe@Genesis:35:8 @And Deborah, the servant who had taken care of Rebekah from her birth, came to her end, and was put to rest near Beth-el, under the holy tree: and they gave it the name of Allon-bacuth.

bbe@Genesis:35:10 @Jacob is your name, but it will be so no longer; from now your name will be Israel; so he was named Israel.

bbe@Genesis:35:13 @Then God went up from him in the place where he had been talking with him.

bbe@Genesis:35:14 @And Jacob put up a pillar in the place where he had been talking with God, and put a drink offering on it, and oil.

bbe@Genesis:35:15 @And he gave to the place where God had been talking with him, the name of Beth-el.

bbe@Genesis:35:22 @Now while they were living in that country, Reuben had connection with Bilhah, his father's servant-woman: and Israel had news of it.

bbe@Genesis:35:29 @Then Isaac came to his end and was put to rest with his father's people, an old man after a long life: and Jacob and Esau, his sons, put him in his last resting-place.

bbe@Genesis:36:2 @Esau's wives were women of Canaan: Adah, the daughter of Elon the Hittite, and Oholibamah, the daughter of Anah, the daughter of Zibeon the Hivite,

bbe@Genesis:36:9 @And these are the generations of Esau, the father of the Edomites in the hill-country of Seir:

bbe@Genesis:36:12 @And Eliphaz, the son of Esau, had connection with a woman named Timna, who gave birth to Amalek: all these were the children of Esau's wife Adah.

bbe@Genesis:36:20 @These are the sons of Seir the Horite who were living in that country; Lotan, Shobal, Zibeon, Anah,

bbe@Genesis:36:21 @Dishon, Ezer, and Dishan: these are the chiefs of the Horites, offspring of Seir in the land of Edom.

bbe@Genesis:36:26 @These are the children of Dishon: Hemdan, Eshban, Ithran, and Keran.

bbe@Genesis:36:29 @These were the Horite chiefs: Lotan, Shobal, Zibeon, Anah,

bbe@Genesis:36:30 @Dishon, Ezer, and Dishan. Such were the Horite chiefs in their order in the land of Seir.

bbe@Genesis:36:34 @And at the death of Jobab, Husham, from the country of the Temanites, became king in his place.

bbe@Genesis:36:35 @And at the death of Husham, Hadad, son of Bedad, who overcame the Midianites in the field of Moab, became king; his chief town was named Avith.

bbe@Genesis:36:43 @Magdiel, Iram; these are the Edomite chiefs, in their places in their heritage; this is Esau, the father of the Edomites.

bbe@Genesis:37:2 @These are the generations of Jacob: Joseph, a boy seventeen years old, was looking after the flock, together with his brothers, the sons of Bilhah and Zilpah, his father's wives; and Joseph gave their father a bad account of them.

bbe@Genesis:37:5 @Now Joseph had a dream, and he gave his brothers an account of it, which made their hate greater than ever.

bbe@Genesis:37:8 @And his brothers said to him, Are you to be our king? will you have authority over us? And because of his dream and his words, their hate for him became greater than ever.

bbe@Genesis:37:9 @Then he had another dream, and gave his brothers an account of it, saying, I have had another dream: the sun and the moon and eleven stars gave honour to me.

bbe@Genesis:37:10 @And he gave word of it to his father and his brothers; but his father protesting said, What sort of a dream is this? am I and your mother and your brothers to go down on our faces to the earth before you?

bbe@Genesis:37:13 @And Israel said to Joseph, Are not your brothers with the flock in Shechem? come, I will send you to them. And he said to him, Here am I.

bbe@Genesis:37:17 @And the man said, They have gone away from here, for they said in my hearing, Let us go to Dothan. So Joseph went after them and came up with them at Dothan.

bbe@Genesis:37:22 @Do not put him to a violent death, but let him be placed in one of the holes; this he said to keep him safe from their hands, with the purpose of taking him back to his father again.

bbe@Genesis:37:24 @And they took him and put him in the hole: now the hole had no water in it.

bbe@Genesis:37:25 @Then seating themselves, they took their meal: and looking up, they saw a travelling band of Ishmaelites, coming from Gilead on their way to Egypt, with spices and perfumes on their camels.

bbe@Genesis:37:26 @And Judah said to his brothers, What profit is there in putting our brother to death and covering up his blood?

bbe@Genesis:37:27 @Let us give him to these Ishmaelites for a price, and let us not put violent hands on him, for he is our brother, our flesh. And his brothers gave ear to him.

bbe@Genesis:37:28 @And some traders from Midian went by; so pulling Joseph up out of the hole, they gave him to the Ishmaelites for twenty bits of silver, and they took him to Egypt.

bbe@Genesis:37:31 @Then they took Joseph's coat, and put on it some of the blood from a young goat which they had put to death,

bbe@Genesis:37:32 @And they took the coat to their father, and said, We came across this; is it your son's coat or not?

bbe@Genesis:37:33 @And he saw that it was, and said, It is my son's coat; an evil beast has put him to death; without doubt Joseph has come to a cruel end.

bbe@Genesis:37:35 @And all his sons and all his daughters came to give him comfort, but he would not be comforted, saying with weeping, I will go down to the underworld to my son. So great was his father's sorrow for him.

bbe@Genesis:37:36 @And in Egypt the men of Midian gave him for a price to Potiphar, a captain of high position in Pharaoh's house.

bbe@Genesis:38:8 @Then Judah said to Onan, Go in to your brother's wife and do what it is right for a husband's brother to do; make her your wife and get offspring for your brother.

bbe@Genesis:38:11 @Then Judah said to Tamar, his daughter-in-law, Go back to your father's house and keep yourself as a widow till my son Shelah becomes a man: for he had in his mind the thought that death might come to him as it had come to his brothers. So Tamar went back to her father's house.

bbe@Genesis:38:12 @And after a time, Bath-shua, Judah's wife, came to her end; and after Judah was comforted for her loss, he went to Timnah, where they were cutting the wool of his sheep, and his friend Hirah of Adullam went with him.

bbe@Genesis:38:14 @She took off her widow's clothing, and covering herself with her veil, she took her seat near Enaim on the road to Timnah; for she saw that Shelah was now a man, but she had not been made his wife.

bbe@Genesis:38:17 @And he said, I will give you a young goat from the flock. And she said, What will you give me as a sign till you send it?

bbe@Genesis:38:18 @And he said, What would you have? And she said, Your ring and its cord and the stick in your hand. So he gave them to her and went in to her, and she became with child by him.

bbe@Genesis:38:20 @Then Judah sent his friend Hirah with the young goat, to get back the things which he had given as a sign to the woman: but she was not there.

bbe@Genesis:38:24 @Now about three months after this, word came to Judah that Tamar, his daughter-in-law, had been acting like a loose woman and was with child. And Judah said, Take her out and let her be burned.

bbe@Genesis:38:26 @Then Judah said openly that they were his, and said, She is more upright than I am, for I did not give her to Shelah my son. And he had no more connection with her.

bbe@Genesis:38:27 @And when the time came for her to give birth, it was clear that there were two children in her body.

bbe@Genesis:38:28 @And while she was in the act of giving birth, one of them put out his hand; and the woman who was with her put a red thread round his hand, saying, This one came out first.

bbe@Genesis:38:30 @And then his brother came out, with the red thread round his hand, and he was named Zerah.

bbe@Genesis:39:1 @Now Joseph was taken down to Egypt; and Potiphar the Egyptian, a captain of high position in Pharaoh's house, got him for a price from the Ishmaelites who had taken him there.

bbe@Genesis:39:2 @And the Lord was with Joseph, and he did well; and he was living in the house of his master the Egyptian.

bbe@Genesis:39:3 @And his master saw that the Lord was with him, making everything he did go well.

bbe@Genesis:39:5 @And from the time when he made him overseer and gave him control of all his property, the blessing of the Lord was with the Egyptian, because of Joseph; the blessing of the Lord was on all he had, in the house and in the field.

bbe@Genesis:39:7 @And after a time, his master's wife, looking on Joseph with desire, said to him, Be my lover.

bbe@Genesis:39:9 @So that no one has more authority in this house than I have; he has kept nothing back from me but you, because you are his wife; how then may I do this great wrong, sinning against God?

bbe@Genesis:39:15 @And hearing it he went running out without his coat.

bbe@Genesis:39:18 @And when I gave a loud cry he went running out without his coat.

bbe@Genesis:39:21 @But the Lord was with Joseph, and was good to him, and made the keeper of the prison his friend.

bbe@Genesis:39:23 @And the keeper of the prison gave no attention to anything which was under his care, because the Lord was with him; and the Lord made everything he did go well.

bbe@Genesis:40:2 @And Pharaoh was angry with his two servants, with the chief wine-servant and the chief bread-maker;

bbe@Genesis:40:5 @And these two had a dream on the same night; the chief wine-servant and the chief bread-maker of the king of Egypt, who were in prison, the two of them had dreams with a special sense.

bbe@Genesis:40:7 @And he said to the servants of Pharaoh who were in prison with him, Why are you looking so sad?

bbe@Genesis:40:10 @And on the vine were three branches; and it seemed as if it put out buds and flowers, and from them came grapes ready for cutting.

bbe@Genesis:40:16 @Now when the chief bread-maker saw that the first dream had a good sense, he said to Joseph, I had a dream; and in my dream there were three baskets of white bread on my head;

bbe@Genesis:41:7 @And the seven thin heads made a meal of the good heads. And when Pharaoh was awake he saw it was a dream.

bbe@Genesis:41:8 @And in the morning his spirit was troubled; and he sent for all the wise men of Egypt and all the holy men, and put his dream before them, but no one was able to give him the sense of it.

bbe@Genesis:41:10 @Pharaoh had been angry with his servants, and had put me in prison in the house of the captain of the army, together with the chief bread-maker;

bbe@Genesis:41:12 @And there was with us a young Hebrew, the captain's servant, and when we put our dreams before him, he gave us the sense of them.

bbe@Genesis:41:13 @And it came about as he said: I was put back in my place, and the bread-maker was put to death by hanging.

bbe@Genesis:41:15 @And Pharaoh said to Joseph, I have had a dream, and no one is able to give me the sense of it; now it has come to my ears that you are able to give the sense of a dream when it is put before you.

bbe@Genesis:41:16 @Then Joseph said, Without God there will be no answer of peace for Pharaoh.

bbe@Genesis:41:21 @And even with the fat cows inside them they seemed as bad as before. And so I came out of my sleep.

bbe@Genesis:41:24 @And the seven thin heads made a meal of the seven good heads; and I put this dream before the wise men, but not one of them was able to give me the sense of it.

bbe@Genesis:41:31 @And men will have no memory of the good time because of the need which will come after, for it will be very bitter.

bbe@Genesis:41:32 @And this dream came to Pharaoh twice, because this thing is certain, and God will quickly make it come about.

bbe@Genesis:41:33 @And now let Pharaoh make search for a man of wisdom and good sense, and put him in authority over the land of Egypt.

bbe@Genesis:41:35 @And let them get together all the food in those good years and make a store of grain under Pharaoh's control for the use of the towns, and let them keep it.

bbe@Genesis:41:38 @Then Pharaoh said to his servants, Where may we get such a man as this, a man in whom is the spirit of God?

bbe@Genesis:41:42 @Then Pharaoh took off his ring from his hand and put it on Joseph's hand, and he had him clothed with the best linen, and put a chain of gold round his neck;

bbe@Genesis:41:44 @Then Pharaoh said to Joseph, I am Pharaoh; and without your order no man may do anything in all the land of Egypt.

bbe@Genesis:41:47 @Now in the seven good years the earth gave fruit in masses.

bbe@Genesis:41:49 @So he got together a store of grain like the sand of the sea; so great a store that after a time he gave up measuring it, for it might not be measured.

bbe@Genesis:41:52 @And to the second he gave the name Ephraim, for he said, God has given me fruit in the land of my sorrow.

bbe@Genesis:41:55 @And when all the land of Egypt was in need of food, the people came crying to Pharaoh for bread; and Pharaoh said to the people, Go to Joseph, and whatever he says to you, do it.

bbe@Genesis:42:4 @But Jacob did not send Benjamin, Joseph's brother, with them, for fear, as he said, that some evil might come to him.

bbe@Genesis:42:5 @And the sons of Israel came with all the others to get grain: for they were very short of food in the land of Canaan.

bbe@Genesis:42:6 @Now Joseph was ruler over all the land, and it was he who gave out the grain to all the people of the land; and Joseph's brothers came before him and went down on their faces to the earth.

bbe@Genesis:42:7 @And when Joseph saw his brothers, it was clear to him who they were, but he made himself strange to them, and talking roughly to them, said, Where do you come from? And they said, From the land of Canaan, to get food.

bbe@Genesis:42:10 @And they said to him, Not so, my lord: your servants have come with money to get food.

bbe@Genesis:42:11 @We are all one man's sons, we are true men; we have not come with any secret purpose.

bbe@Genesis:42:13 @Then they said, We your servants are twelve brothers, sons of one man in the land of Canaan; the youngest of us is now with our father, and one is dead.

bbe@Genesis:42:14 @And Joseph said, It is as I said; you have come with some secret purpose;

bbe@Genesis:42:20 @And come back to me with your youngest brother, so that your words may be seen to be true, and you will not be put to death. This is what you are to do.

bbe@Genesis:42:24 @And turning away from them, he was overcome with weeping; then he went on talking to them again and took Simeon and put chains on him before their eyes.

bbe@Genesis:42:28 @And he said to his brothers, My money has been given back: it is in my bag; then their hearts became full of fear, and turning to one another they said, What is this which God has done to us?

bbe@Genesis:42:30 @The man who is the ruler of the country was rough with us and put us in prison, saying that we had come with a secret evil purpose.

bbe@Genesis:42:32 @We are twelve brothers, sons of our father; one is dead, and the youngest is now with our father in the land of Canaan.

bbe@Genesis:42:33 @And the ruler of the land said, In this way I may be certain that you are true men; let one of you be kept here with me, while you go and take grain for the needs of your families;

bbe@Genesis:42:34 @And come back to me with your youngest brother: then I will be certain that you are true men, and I will give your brother back to you and let you do trade in the land.

bbe@Genesis:42:35 @And when they took the grain out of their bags, it was seen that every man's parcel of money was in his bag; and when they and their father saw the money, they were full of fear.

bbe@Genesis:42:37 @And Reuben said, Put my two sons to death if I do not come back to you with him; let him be in my care and I will give him safely back to you.

bbe@Genesis:42:38 @And he said, I will not let my son go down with you; for his brother is dead and he is all I have: if evil overtakes him on the journey, then through you will my grey head go down to the underworld in sorrow.

bbe@Genesis:43:1 @Now the land was in bitter need of food.

bbe@Genesis:43:2 @And when the grain which they had got in Egypt was all used up, their father said to them, Go again and get us a little food.

bbe@Genesis:43:3 @And Judah said to him, The man said to us with an oath, You are not to come before me again without your brother.

bbe@Genesis:43:4 @If you will let our brother go with us, we will go down and get food:

bbe@Genesis:43:5 @But if you will not send him, we will not go down: for the man said to us, You are not to come before me if your brother is not with you.

bbe@Genesis:43:7 @And they said, The man put a number of questions to us about ourselves and our family, saying, Is your father still living? have you another brother? And we had to give him answers; how were we to have any idea that he would say, Come back with your brother?

bbe@Genesis:43:8 @Then Judah said to Israel, his father, Send the boy with me, and let us be up and going, so that we and you and our little ones may not come to destruction.

bbe@Genesis:43:11 @Then their father Israel said to them, If it has to be so, then do this: take of the best fruits of the land in your vessels to give the man, perfumes and honey and spices and nuts:

bbe@Genesis:43:12 @And take twice as much money with you; that is to say, take back the money which was put in your bags, for it may have been an error;

bbe@Genesis:43:14 @And may God, the Ruler of all, give you mercy before the man, so that he may give you back your other brother and Benjamin. If my children are to be taken from me; there is no help for it.

bbe@Genesis:43:16 @And when Joseph saw Benjamin, he said to his chief servant, Take these men into my house, and make ready a meal, for they will take food with me in the middle of the day.

bbe@Genesis:43:18 @Now the men were full of fear because they had been taken into Joseph's house and they said, It is because of the money which was put back in our bags the first time; he is looking for something against us, so that he may come down on us and take us and our asses for his use.

bbe@Genesis:43:21 @And when we came to our night's resting-place, on opening our bags we saw that every man's money was in the mouth of his bag, all our money in full weight: and we have it with us to give it back;

bbe@Genesis:43:22 @As well as more money, with which to get food: we have no idea who put our money in our bags.

bbe@Genesis:43:23 @Then the servant said, Peace be with you: have no fear: your God, even the God of your father, has put wealth in your bags for you: I had your money. Then he let Simeon come out to them.

bbe@Genesis:43:30 @Then Joseph's heart went out to his brother, and he went quickly into his room, for he was overcome with weeping.

bbe@Genesis:43:32 @And they put a meal ready for him by himself, and for them by themselves, and for the Egyptians who were with him by themselves; because the Egyptians may not take food with the Hebrews, for that would make them unclean.

bbe@Genesis:43:34 @And Joseph sent food to them from his table, but he sent five times as much to Benjamin as to any of the others. And they took wine freely with him.

bbe@Genesis:44:2 @And put my cup, my silver cup, in the youngest one's bag, with his money. So he did as Joseph said.

bbe@Genesis:44:3 @And at dawn the men, with their asses, were sent away.

bbe@Genesis:44:4 @And when they had gone only a little way out of the town, Joseph said to the servant who was over his house, Go after them; and when you overtake them, say to them, Why have you done evil in reward for good?

bbe@Genesis:44:7 @And they said to him, Why does my lord say such words as these? far be it from your servants to do such a thing:

bbe@Genesis:44:9 @If it comes to light that any of your servants has done this, let him be put to death, and we will be your lord's servants.

bbe@Genesis:44:10 @And he said, Let it be as you say: he in whose bag it is seen will become my servant; and you will not be responsible.

bbe@Genesis:44:11 @Then every man quickly got his bag down and undid it.

bbe@Genesis:44:12 @And he made a search, starting with the oldest and ending with the youngest; and the cup was in Benjamin's bag.

bbe@Genesis:44:13 @Then in bitter grief they put the bags on the asses again and went back to the town.

bbe@Genesis:44:17 @Then he said, Far be it from me to do so: but the man who had my cup will be my servant; and you may go back to your father in peace.

bbe@Genesis:44:21 @And you said to your servants, Let him come down to me with you, so that I may see him.

bbe@Genesis:44:23 @But you said to your servants, If your youngest brother does not come with you, you will not see my face again.

bbe@Genesis:44:25 @And our father said, Go again and get us a little food.

bbe@Genesis:44:26 @And we said, Only if our youngest brother goes with us will we go down; for we may not see the man's face again if our youngest brother is not with us.

bbe@Genesis:44:30 @If then I go back to your servant, my father, without the boy, because his life and the boy's life are one,

bbe@Genesis:44:31 @When he sees that the boy is not with us, he will come to his death, and our father's grey head will go down in sorrow to the underworld.

bbe@Genesis:44:33 @So now let me be my lord's servant here in place of the boy, and let him go back with his brothers.

bbe@Genesis:44:34 @For how may I go back to my father without the boy, and see the evil which will come on my father?

bbe@Genesis:45:1 @Then Joseph, unable to keep back his feelings before those who were with him, gave orders for everyone to be sent away, and no one was present when he made clear to his brothers who he was.

bbe@Genesis:45:2 @And so loud was his weeping, that it came to the ears of the Egyptians and all Pharaoh's house.

bbe@Genesis:45:5 @Now do not be troubled or angry with yourselves for sending me away, because God sent me before you to be the saviour of your lives.

bbe@Genesis:45:8 @So now it was not you who sent me here, but God: and he has made me as a father to Pharaoh, and lord of all his house, and ruler over all the land of Egypt.

bbe@Genesis:45:12 @Now truly, your eyes see, and the eyes of my brother Benjamin see, that it is my mouth which says these things to you.

bbe@Genesis:45:13 @Give my father word of all my glory in Egypt and of all you have seen; and come back quickly with my father.

bbe@Genesis:45:16 @And news of these things went through Pharaoh's house, and it was said that Joseph's brothers were come; and it seemed good to Pharaoh and his servants.

bbe@Genesis:45:19 @And say to them, This you are to do: take carts from the land of Egypt for your little ones and for your wives, and get your father and come back.

bbe@Genesis:45:22 @To every one of them he gave three changes of clothing; but to Benjamin he gave three hundred bits of silver and five changes of clothing.

bbe@Genesis:45:23 @And to his father he sent ten asses with good things from Egypt on their backs, and ten she-asses with grain and bread and food for his father on the journey.

bbe@Genesis:45:26 @And they said to him, Joseph is living, and is ruler over all the land of Egypt. And at this word Jacob was quite overcome, for he had no faith in it.

bbe@Genesis:45:27 @And they gave him an account of everything Joseph had said to them; and when he saw the carts which Joseph had sent for them, his spirit came back to him:

bbe@Genesis:45:28 @And Israel said, It is enough: Joseph my son is still living; I will go and see him before my death.

bbe@Genesis:46:1 @And Israel went on his journey with all he had, and came to Beer-sheba, where he made offerings to the God of his father Isaac.

bbe@Genesis:46:3 @And he said, I am God, the God of your father: go down to Egypt without fear, for I will make a great nation of you there:

bbe@Genesis:46:4 @I will go down with you to Egypt, and I will see that you come back again, and at your death Joseph will put his hands on your eyes.

bbe@Genesis:46:5 @Then Jacob went on from Beer-sheba; and the sons of Jacob took their father and their little ones and their wives in the carts which Pharaoh had sent for them.

bbe@Genesis:46:7 @His sons and his sons' sons, his daughters and his daughters' sons and all his family he took with him into Egypt.

bbe@Genesis:46:15 @All these, together with his daughter Dinah, were the children of Leah, whom Jacob had by her in Paddan-aram; they were thirty-three in number.

bbe@Genesis:46:26 @All the persons who came with Jacob into Egypt, the offspring of his body, were sixty-six, without taking into account the wives of Jacob's sons.

bbe@Genesis:46:29 @And Joseph got his carriage ready and went to Goshen for the meeting with his father; and when he came before him, he put his arms round his neck, weeping.

bbe@Genesis:46:32 @And these men are keepers of sheep and owners of cattle, and have with them their flocks and their herds and all they have.

bbe@Genesis:47:1 @Then Joseph went to Pharaoh, and said, My father and my brothers with their flocks and their herds and all they have, are come from Canaan, and are now in the land of Goshen.

bbe@Genesis:47:6 @And Jacob and his sons came to Joseph in Egypt, and when word of it came to the ears of Pharaoh, king of Egypt, he said to Joseph, Your father and brothers have come to you; all the land of Egypt is before you; let your father and your brothers have the best of the land for their resting-place.

bbe@Genesis:47:11 @And Joseph made a place for his father and his brothers, and gave them a heritage in the land of Egypt, in the best of the land, the land of Rameses, as Pharaoh had given orders.

bbe@Genesis:47:14 @And all the money in Egypt and in the land of Canaan which had been given for grain, came into the hands of Joseph: and he put it in Pharaoh's house.

bbe@Genesis:47:18 @And when that year was ended, they came to him in the second year, and said, We may not keep it from our lord's knowledge that all our money is gone, and all the herds of cattle are my lord's; there is nothing more to give my lord but our bodies and our land;

bbe@Genesis:47:24 @And when the grain is cut, you are to give a fifth part to Pharaoh, and four parts will be yours for seed and food, and for your families and your little ones.

bbe@Genesis:48:1 @Now after these things, word came to Joseph that his father was ill: and he took with him his sons Manasseh and Ephraim.

bbe@Genesis:48:4 @And said to me, Truly, I will make you fertile and give you increase and will make of you a great family of nations: and I will give this land to your seed after you to be their heritage for ever.

bbe@Genesis:48:6 @And any other offspring which you have after them, will be yours, and will be named after their brothers in their heritage.

bbe@Genesis:48:13 @Then taking Ephraim with his right hand, Joseph put him at Israel's left side, and with his left hand he put Manasseh at Israel's right side, placing them near him.

bbe@Genesis:48:14 @And Israel, stretching out his right hand, put it on the head of Ephraim, the younger, and his left hand on the head of Manasseh, crossing his hands on purpose, for Manasseh was the older.

bbe@Genesis:48:17 @Now when Joseph saw that his father had put his right hand on the head of Ephraim, it did not seem right to him; and lifting his father's hand he would have put it on the head of Manasseh.

bbe@Genesis:48:19 @But his father would not, saying, I am doing it on purpose, my son; he will certainly become a nation and a great one; but his younger brother will be greater than he, and his seed will become a great family of nations.

bbe@Genesis:48:21 @Then Israel said to Joseph, Now my death is near; but God will be with you, guiding you back to the land of your fathers.

bbe@Genesis:48:22 @And I have given you more than your brothers, even Shechem as your heritage, which I took from the Amorites with my sword and my bow.

bbe@Genesis:49:3 @Reuben, you are my oldest son, the first-fruit of my strength, first in pride and first in power:

bbe@Genesis:49:4 @But because you were uncontrolled, the first place will not be yours; for you went up to your father's bed, even his bride-bed, and made it unclean.

bbe@Genesis:49:5 @Simeon and Levi are brothers; deceit and force are their secret designs.

bbe@Genesis:49:7 @A curse on their passion for it was bitter; and on their wrath for it was cruel. I will let their heritage in Jacob be broken up, driving them from their places in Israel.

bbe@Genesis:49:10 @The rod of authority will not be taken from Judah, and he will not be without a law-giver, till he comes who has the right to it, and the peoples will put themselves under his rule.

bbe@Genesis:49:12 @His eyes will be dark with wine, and his teeth white with milk.

bbe@Genesis:49:17 @May Dan be a snake in the way, a horned snake by the road, biting the horse's foot so that the horseman has a fall.

bbe@Genesis:49:18 @I have been waiting for your salvation, O Lord.

bbe@Genesis:49:25 @Even by the God of your father, who will be your help, and by the Ruler of all, who will make you full with blessings from heaven on high, blessings of the deep stretched out under the earth, blessings of the breasts and of the fertile body:

bbe@Genesis:49:26 @Blessings of sons, old and young, to the father: blessings of the oldest mountains and the fruit of the eternal hills: let them come on the head of Joseph, on the crown of him who was separate from his brothers.

bbe@Genesis:49:29 @And he gave orders to them, saying, Put me to rest with my people and with my fathers, in the hollow of the rock in the field of Ephron the Hittite,

bbe@Genesis:49:30 @In the rock in the field of Machpelah, near Mamre in the land of Canaan, which Abraham got from Ephron the Hittite, to be his resting-place.

bbe@Genesis:49:33 @And when Jacob had come to the end of these words to his sons, stretching himself on his bed, he gave up his spirit, and went the way of his people.

bbe@Genesis:50:2 @And Joseph gave orders to his servants who had the necessary knowledge, to make his father's body ready, folding it in linen with spices, and they did so.

bbe@Genesis:50:7 @So Joseph went up to put his father in his last resting-place; and with him went all the servants of Pharaoh, and the chief men of his house and all the chiefs of the land of Egypt,

bbe@Genesis:50:8 @And all the family of Joseph, and his brothers and his father's people: only their little ones and their flocks and herds they did not take with them from the land of Goshen.

bbe@Genesis:50:9 @And carriages went up with him and horsemen, a great army.

bbe@Genesis:50:10 @And they came to the grain-floor of Atad on the other side of Jordan, and there they gave the last honours to Jacob, with great and bitter sorrow, weeping for their father for seven days.

bbe@Genesis:50:13 @For they took him into the land of Canaan and put him to rest in the hollow rock in the field of Machpelah, which Abraham got with the field, for a resting-place, from Ephron the Hittite at Mamre.

bbe@Genesis:50:14 @And when his father had been put to rest, Joseph and his brothers and all who had gone with him, went back to Egypt.

bbe@Genesis:50:15 @Now after the death of their father, Joseph's brothers said to themselves, It may be that Joseph's heart will be turned against us, and he will give us punishment for all the evil which we did to him.

bbe@Genesis:50:17 @You are to say to Joseph, Let the wrongdoing of your brothers be overlooked, and the evil they did to you: now, if it is your pleasure, let the sin of the servants of your father's God have forgiveness. And at these words, Joseph was overcome with weeping.

bbe@Genesis:50:20 @As for you, it was in your mind to do me evil, but God has given a happy outcome, the salvation of numbers of people, as you see today.

bbe@Genesis:50:21 @So now, have no fear: for I will take care of you and your little ones. So he gave them comfort with kind words.

bbe@Exodus:1:1 @Now these are the names of the sons of Israel who came into Egypt; every man and his family came with Jacob.

bbe@Exodus:1:10 @Let us take care for fear that their numbers may become even greater, and if there is a war, they may be joined with those who are against us, and make an attack on us, and go up out of the land.

bbe@Exodus:1:11 @So they put overseers of forced work over them, in order to make their strength less by the weight of their work. And they made store-towns for Pharaoh, Pithom and Raamses.

bbe@Exodus:1:14 @And made their lives bitter with hard work, making building-material and bricks, and doing all sorts of work in the fields under the hardest conditions.

bbe@Exodus:1:16 @When you are looking after the Hebrew women in childbirth, if it is a son you are to put him to death; but if it is a daughter, she may go on living.

bbe@Exodus:2:2 @And she became with child and gave birth to a Son; and when she saw that he was a beautiful child, she kept him secretly for three months.

bbe@Exodus:2:3 @And when she was no longer able to keep him secret, she made him a basket out of the stems of water-plants, pasting sticky earth over it to keep the water out; and placing the baby in it she put it among the plants by the edge of the Nile.

bbe@Exodus:2:5 @Now Pharaoh's daughter came down to the Nile to take a bath, while her women were walking by the riverside; and she saw the basket among the river-plants, and sent her servant-girl to get it.

bbe@Exodus:2:6 @And opening it, she saw the child, and he was crying. And she had pity on him, and said, This is one of the Hebrews' children.

bbe@Exodus:2:9 @And Pharaoh's daughter said to her, Take the child away and give it milk for me, and I will give you payment. And the woman took the child and gave it milk at her breast.

bbe@Exodus:2:12 @And turning this way and that, and seeing no one, he put the Egyptian to death, covering his body with sand.

bbe@Exodus:2:14 @And he said, Who made you a ruler and a judge over us? are you going to put me to death as you did the Egyptian? And Moses was in fear, and said, It is clear that the thing has come to light.

bbe@Exodus:2:18 @And when they came to Reuel their father, he said, How is it that you have come back so quickly today?

bbe@Exodus:2:19 @And they said, An Egyptian came to our help against the keepers of sheep and got water for us and gave it to the flock.

bbe@Exodus:2:21 @And Moses was happy to go on living with the man; and he gave his daughter Zipporah to Moses.

bbe@Exodus:2:24 @And at the sound of their weeping the agreement which God had made with Abraham and Isaac and Jacob came to his mind.

bbe@Exodus:3:2 @And the angel of the Lord was seen by him in a flame of fire coming out of a thorn-tree: and he saw that the tree was on fire, but it was not burned up.

bbe@Exodus:3:8 @And I have come down to take them out of the hands of the Egyptians, guiding them out of that land into a good land and wide, into a land flowing with milk and honey; into the place of the Canaanite and the Hittite and the Amorite and the Perizzite and the Hivite and the Jebusite.

bbe@Exodus:3:12 @And he said, Truly I will be with you; and this will be the sign to you that I have sent you: when you have taken the children of Israel out of Egypt, you will give worship to God on this mountain.

bbe@Exodus:3:17 @And I have said, I will take you up out of the sorrows of Egypt into the land of the Canaanite and the Hittite and the Amorite and the Perizzite and the Hivite and the Jebusite, into a land flowing with milk and honey.

bbe@Exodus:3:18 @And they will give ear to your voice: and you, with the chiefs of Israel, will go to Pharaoh, the king of Egypt, and say to him, The Lord, the God of the Hebrews, has come to us: let us then go three days' journey into the waste land to make an offering to the Lord our God.

bbe@Exodus:3:19 @And I am certain that the king of Egypt will not let you go without being forced.

bbe@Exodus:3:20 @But I will put out my hand and overcome Egypt with all the wonders which I will do among them: and after that he will let you go.

bbe@Exodus:3:21 @And I will give this people grace in the eyes of the Egyptians, so that when you go out you will go out with your hands full.

bbe@Exodus:4:1 @And Moses, answering, said, It is certain that they will not have faith in me or give ear to my voice; for they will say, You have not seen the Lord.

bbe@Exodus:4:3 @And he said, Put it down on the earth. And he put it down on the earth and it became a snake; and Moses went running from it.

bbe@Exodus:4:4 @And the Lord said to Moses, Put out your hand and take it by the tail: (and he put out his hand and took a grip of it and it became a rod in his hand:)

bbe@Exodus:4:6 @Then the Lord said to him again, Put your hand inside your clothing. And he put his hand inside his robe: and when he took it out it was like the hand of a leper, as white as snow.

bbe@Exodus:4:7 @And he said, Put your hand inside your robe again. (And he put his hand into his robe again, and when he took it out he saw that it had become like his other flesh.)

bbe@Exodus:4:8 @And if they do not have faith in you or give ear to the voice of the first sign, they will have faith in the second sign.

bbe@Exodus:4:9 @And if they have no faith even in these two signs and will not give ear to your voice, then you are to take the water of the Nile and put it on the dry land: and the water you take out of the river will become blood on the dry land.

bbe@Exodus:4:11 @And the Lord said to him, Who has made man's mouth? who takes away a man's voice or hearing, or makes him seeing or blind? Is it not I, the Lord?

bbe@Exodus:4:12 @So go now, and I will be with your mouth, teaching you what to say.

bbe@Exodus:4:13 @And he said, O Lord, send, if you will, by the hand of anyone whom it seems good to you to send.

bbe@Exodus:4:14 @And the Lord was angry with Moses, and said, Is there not Aaron, your brother, the Levite? To my knowledge he is good at talking. And now he is coming out to you: and when he sees you he will be glad in his heart.

bbe@Exodus:4:15 @Let him give ear to your voice, and you will put my words in his mouth; and I will be with your mouth and with his, teaching you what you have to do.

bbe@Exodus:4:17 @And take in your hand this rod with which you will do the signs.

bbe@Exodus:4:25 @Then Zipporah took a sharp stone, and cutting off the skin of her son's private parts, and touching his feet with it, she said, Truly you are a husband of blood to me.

bbe@Exodus:4:31 @And the people had faith in them; and hearing that the Lord had taken up the cause of the children of Israel and had seen their troubles, with bent heads they gave him worship.

bbe@Exodus:5:9 @Give the men harder work, and see that they do it; let them not give attention to false words.

bbe@Exodus:5:16 @They give us no dry stems and they say to us, Make bricks: and they give your servants blows; but it is your people who are in the wrong.

bbe@Exodus:5:20 @And they came face to face with Moses and Aaron, who were in their way when they came out from Pharaoh:

bbe@Exodus:6:4 @And I made an agreement with them, to give them the land of Canaan, the land of their wanderings.

bbe@Exodus:6:8 @And I will be your guide into the land which I made an oath to give to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob; and I will give it to you for your heritage: I am Yahweh.

bbe@Exodus:6:9 @And Moses said these words to the children of Israel, but they gave no attention to him, because of the grief of their spirit and the cruel weight of their work.

bbe@Exodus:6:13 @And the word of the Lord came to Moses and Aaron, with orders for the children of Israel and for Pharaoh, king of Egypt, to take the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt.

bbe@Exodus:6:19 @And the sons of Merari: Mahli and Mushi: these are the families of the Levites, in the order of their generations.

bbe@Exodus:6:22 @And the sons of Uzziel: Mishael and Elzaphan and Sithri.

bbe@Exodus:6:23 @And Aaron took as his wife Elisheba, the daughter of Amminadab, the sister of Nahshon; and she gave birth to Nadab and Abihu, Eleazar and Ithamar.

bbe@Exodus:6:24 @And the sons of Korah: Assir and Elkanah and Abiasaph: these are the families of the Korahites.

bbe@Exodus:6:25 @And Eleazar, Aaron's son, took as his wife one of the daughters of Putiel; and she gave birth to Phinehas. These are the heads of the families of the Levites, in the order of their families.

bbe@Exodus:6:30 @And Moses said to the Lord, My lips are unclean; how is it possible that Pharaoh will give me a hearing?

bbe@Exodus:7:9 @If Pharaoh says to you, Let me see a wonder: then say to Aaron, Take your rod and put it down on the earth before Pharaoh so that it may become a snake.

bbe@Exodus:7:10 @Then Moses and Aaron went in to Pharaoh and they did as the Lord had said: and Aaron put his rod down on the earth before Pharaoh and his servants, and it became a snake.

bbe@Exodus:7:11 @Then Pharaoh sent for the wise men and the wonder-workers, and they, the wonder-workers of Egypt, did the same with their secret arts.

bbe@Exodus:7:15 @Go to Pharaoh in the morning; when he goes out to the water, you will be waiting for him by the edge of the Nile, with the rod which was turned into a snake in your hand;

bbe@Exodus:7:22 @And the wonder-workers of Egypt did the same with their secret arts: but Pharaoh's heart was made hard, and he would not give ear to them, as the Lord had said.

bbe@Exodus:8:6 @And when Aaron put out his hand over the waters of Egypt, the frogs came up and all the land of Egypt was covered with them.

bbe@Exodus:8:7 @And the wonder-workers did the same with their secret arts, making frogs come up over the land of Egypt.

bbe@Exodus:8:10 @And he said, By tomorrow. And he said, Let it be as you say: so that you may see that there is no other like the Lord our God.

bbe@Exodus:8:16 @And the Lord said to Moses, Say to Aaron, Let your rod be stretched out over the dust of the earth so that it may become insects through all the land of Egypt.

bbe@Exodus:8:18 @And the wonder-workers with their secret arts, attempting to make insects, were unable to do so: and there were insects on man and on beast

bbe@Exodus:8:26 @And Moses said, It is not right to do so; for we make our offerings of that to which the Egyptians give worship; and if we do so before their eyes, certainly we will be stoned.

bbe@Exodus:8:29 @And Moses said, When I go out from you I will make prayer to the Lord that the cloud of flies may go away from Pharaoh and from his people and from his servants tomorrow: only let Pharaoh no longer by deceit keep back the people from making their offering to the Lord.

bbe@Exodus:9:8 @And the Lord said to Moses and to Aaron, Take in your hand a little dust from the fire and let Moses send it in a shower up to heaven before the eyes of Pharaoh.

bbe@Exodus:9:9 @And it will become small dust over all the land of Egypt, and will be a skin-disease bursting out in wounds on man and beast through all the land of Egypt.

bbe@Exodus:9:10 @So they took some dust from the fire, and placing themselves before Pharaoh, Moses sent it out in a shower up to heaven; and it became a skin-disease bursting out on man and on beast.

bbe@Exodus:9:18 @Truly, tomorrow about this time I will send down an ice-storm, such as never was in Egypt from its earliest days till now.

bbe@Exodus:9:19 @Then send quickly and get in your cattle and all you have from the fields; for if any man or beast in the field has not been put under cover, the ice-storm will come down on them with destruction.

bbe@Exodus:9:24 @So there was an ice-storm with fire running through it, coming down with great force, such as never was in all the land of Egypt from the time when it became a nation.

bbe@Exodus:10:5 @And the face of the earth will be covered with them, so that you will not be able to see the earth: and they will be the destruction of everything which up to now has not been damaged, everything which was not crushed by the ice-storm, and every tree still living in your fields.

bbe@Exodus:10:6 @And your houses will be full of them, and the houses of your servants and of all the Egyptians; it will be worse than anything your fathers have seen or their fathers, from the day when they were living on the earth till this day. And so he went out from Pharaoh.

bbe@Exodus:10:9 @And Moses said, We will go with our young and our old, with our sons and our daughters, with our flocks and our herds; for we are to keep a feast to the Lord

bbe@Exodus:10:10 @And he said to them, May the Lord be with you, if I will let you and your little ones go! take care, for your purpose clearly is evil.

bbe@Exodus:10:13 @And Moses' rod was stretched out over the land of Egypt, and the Lord sent an east wind over the land all that day and all the night; and in the morning the locusts came up with the east wind.

bbe@Exodus:10:15 @For all the face of the earth was covered with them, so that the land was black; and every green plant and all the fruit of the trees which was untouched by the ice-storm they took for food: not one green thing, no plant or tree, was to be seen in all the land of Egypt.

bbe@Exodus:10:23 @They were not able to see one another, and no one got up from his place for three days: but where the children of Israel were living it was light.

bbe@Exodus:10:24 @Then Pharaoh sent for Moses, and said, Go and give worship to the Lord; only let your flocks and your herds be kept here: your little ones may go with you.

bbe@Exodus:10:26 @So our cattle will have to go with us, not one may be kept back; for they are needed for the worship of the Lord our God; we have no knowledge what offering we have to give till we come to the place.

bbe@Exodus:11:8 @And all these your servants will come to me, going down on their faces before me and saying, Go out, and all your people with you: and after that I will go out. And he went away from Pharaoh burning with wrath.

bbe@Exodus:12:4 @And if the lamb is more than enough for the family, let that family and its nearest neighbour have a lamb between them, taking into account the number of persons and how much food is needed for every man.

bbe@Exodus:12:5 @Let your lamb be without a mark, a male in its first year: you may take it from among the sheep or the goats:

bbe@Exodus:12:6 @Keep it till the fourteenth day of the same month, when everyone who is of the children of Israel is to put it to death between sundown and dark.

bbe@Exodus:12:7 @Then take some of the blood and put it on the two sides of the door and over the door of the house where the meal is to be taken.

bbe@Exodus:12:8 @And let your food that night be the flesh of the lamb, cooked with fire in the oven, together with unleavened bread and bitter-tasting plants.

bbe@Exodus:12:9 @Do not take it uncooked or cooked with boiling water, but let it be cooked in the oven; its head with its legs and its inside parts.

bbe@Exodus:12:10 @Do not keep any of it till the morning; anything which is not used is to be burned with fire.

bbe@Exodus:12:11 @And take your meal dressed as if for a journey, with your shoes on your feet and your sticks in your hands: take it quickly: it is the Lord's Passover.

bbe@Exodus:12:14 @And this day is to be kept in your memories: you are to keep it as a feast to the Lord through all your generations, as an order for ever.

bbe@Exodus:12:15 @For seven days let your food be unleavened bread; from the first day no leaven is to be seen in your houses: whoever takes bread with leaven in it, from the first till the seventh day, will be cut off from Israel.

bbe@Exodus:12:19 @For seven days no leaven is to be seen in your houses: for whoever takes bread which is leavened will be cut off from the people of Israel, if he is from another country or if he is an Israelite by birth.

bbe@Exodus:12:20 @Take nothing which has leaven in it; wherever you are living let your food be unleavened cakes.

bbe@Exodus:12:22 @And take some hyssop and put it in the blood in the basin, touching the two sides and the top of the doorway with the blood from the basin; and let not one of you go out of his house till the morning.

bbe@Exodus:12:27 @Then you will say, This is the offering of the Lord's Passover; for he went over the houses of the children of Israel in Egypt, when he sent death on the Egyptians, and kept our families safe. And the people gave worship with bent heads.

bbe@Exodus:12:34 @And the people took their bread-paste before it was leavened, putting their basins in their clothing on their backs.

bbe@Exodus:12:38 @And a mixed band of people went with them; and flocks and herds in great numbers.

bbe@Exodus:12:39 @And they made unleavened cakes from the paste which they had taken out of Egypt; it was not leavened, for they had been sent out of Egypt so quickly, that they had no time to make any food ready.

bbe@Exodus:12:42 @It is a watch-night before the Lord who took them out of the land of Egypt: this same night is a watch-night to the Lord for all the children of Israel, through all their generations.

bbe@Exodus:12:43 @And the Lord said to Moses and Aaron, This is the law of the Passover: no man who is not an Israelite is to take of it:

bbe@Exodus:12:44 @But every man's servant, whom he has got for money, may take of it, when he has had circumcision.

bbe@Exodus:12:45 @A man from a strange country living among you, and a servant working for payment, may not take part in it.

bbe@Exodus:12:46 @It is to be taken in one house; not a bit of the flesh is to be taken out of the house, and no bone of it may be broken.

bbe@Exodus:12:48 @And if a man from another country is living with you, and has a desire to keep the Passover to the Lord, let all the males of his family undergo circumcision, and then let him come near and keep it; for he will then be as one of your people; but no one without circumcision may keep it.

bbe@Exodus:12:49 @The law is the same for him who is an Israelite by birth and for the man from a strange country who is living with you.

bbe@Exodus:13:2 @Let the first male child of every mother among the children of Israel be kept holy for me, even the first male birth among man or beast; for it is mine.

bbe@Exodus:13:5 @And it will be that, when the Lord takes you into the land of the Canaanite and the Hittite and the Amorite and the Hivite and the Jebusite, the land which he made an oath to your fathers that he would give you, a land flowing with milk and honey, you will do this act of worship in this month.

bbe@Exodus:13:8 @And you will say to your son in that day, It is because of what the Lord did for me when I came out of Egypt.

bbe@Exodus:13:9 @And this will be for a sign to you on your hand and for a mark on your brow, so that the law of the Lord may be in your mouth: for with a strong hand the Lord took you out of Egypt.

bbe@Exodus:13:11 @And when the Lord takes you into the land of Canaan, as he made his oath to you and to your fathers, and gives it to you,

bbe@Exodus:13:12 @You are to put on one side for the Lord every mother's first male child, the first-fruit of her body, and the first young one of every beast; every male is holy to the Lord.

bbe@Exodus:13:13 @And for the young of an ass you may give a lamb in payment, or if you will not make payment for it, its neck is to be broken; but for all the first sons among your children, let payment be made.

bbe@Exodus:13:19 @And Moses took the bones of Joseph with him, for Joseph had made the children of Israel take an oath, saying, God will certainly keep you in mind; and you are to take my bones away with you.

bbe@Exodus:14:2 @Give orders to the children of Israel to go back and put up their tents before Pi-hahiroth, between Migdol and the sea, in front of Baal-zephon, opposite to which you are to put up your tents by the sea.

bbe@Exodus:14:3 @And Pharaoh will say of the children of Israel, They are wandering without direction, they are shut in by the waste land.

bbe@Exodus:14:6 @So he had his war-carriage made ready and took his people with him:

bbe@Exodus:14:8 @And the Lord made the heart of Pharaoh hard, and he went after the children of Israel: for the children of Israel had gone out without fear.

bbe@Exodus:14:12 @Did we not say to you in Egypt, Let us be as we are, working for the Egyptians? for it is better to be the servants of the Egyptians than to come to our death in the waste land.

bbe@Exodus:14:16 @And let your rod be lifted up and your hand stretched out over the sea, and it will be parted in two; and the children of Israel will go through on dry land.

bbe@Exodus:14:20 @And it came between the army of Egypt and the army of Israel; and there was a dark cloud between them, and they went on through the night; but the one army came no nearer to the other all the night.

bbe@Exodus:14:21 @And when Moses' hand was stretched out over the sea, the Lord with a strong east wind made the sea go back all night, and the waters were parted in two and the sea became dry land.

bbe@Exodus:14:31 @And Israel saw the great work which the Lord had done against the Egyptians, and the fear of the Lord came on the people and they had faith in the Lord and in his servant Moses.

bbe@Exodus:15:9 @Egypt said, I will go after them, I will overtake, I will make division of their goods: my desire will have its way with them; my sword will be uncovered, my hand will send destruction on them.

bbe@Exodus:15:11 @Who is like you, O Lord, among the gods? who is like you, in holy glory, to be praised with fear, doing wonders?

bbe@Exodus:15:14 @Hearing of you the peoples were shaking in fear: the people of Philistia were gripped with pain.

bbe@Exodus:15:17 @You will take them in, planting them in the mountain of your heritage, the place, O Lord, where you have made your house, the holy place, O Lord, the building of your hands.

bbe@Exodus:15:19 @For the horses of Pharaoh, with his war-carriages and his horsemen, went into the sea, and the Lord sent the waters of the sea back over them; but the children of Israel went through the sea on dry land

bbe@Exodus:15:20 @And Miriam, the woman prophet, the sister of Aaron, took an instrument of music in her hand; and all the women went after her with music and dances.

bbe@Exodus:15:23 @And when they came to Marah, the water was no good for drinking, for the waters of Marah were bitter, which is why it was named Marah.

bbe@Exodus:15:25 @And in answer to his prayer, the Lord made him see a tree, and when he put it into the water, the water was made sweet. There he gave them a law and an order, testing them;

bbe@Exodus:15:26 @And he said, If with all your heart you will give attention to the voice of the Lord your God, and do what is right in his eyes, giving ear to his orders and keeping his laws, I will not put on you any of the diseases which I put on the Egyptians: for I am the Lord your life-giver.

bbe@Exodus:16:3 @And the children of Israel said to them, It would have been better for the Lord to have put us to death in the land of Egypt, where we were seated by the flesh-pots and had bread enough for our needs; for you have taken us out to this waste of sand, to put all this people to death through need of food.

bbe@Exodus:16:5 @And on the sixth day they are to make ready what they get in, and it will be twice as much as they get on the other days.

bbe@Exodus:16:6 @And Moses and Aaron said to all the children of Israel, This evening it will be clear to you that it is the Lord who has taken you out of the land of Egypt:

bbe@Exodus:16:13 @And it came about that in the evening little birds came up and the place was covered with them: and in the morning there was dew all round about the tents.

bbe@Exodus:16:15 @And when the children of Israel saw it, they said to one another, What is it? for they had no idea what it was. And Moses said to them, It is the bread which the Lord has given you for your food.

bbe@Exodus:16:18 @And when it was measured, he who had taken up much had nothing over, and he who had little had enough; every man had taken what he was able to make use of.

bbe@Exodus:16:20 @But they gave no attention to Moses, and some of them kept it till the morning and there were worms in it and it had an evil smell: and Moses was angry with them.

bbe@Exodus:16:21 @And they took it up morning by morning, every man as he had need: and when the sun was high it was gone

bbe@Exodus:16:22 @And on the sixth day they took up twice as much of the bread, two omers for every person: and all the rulers of the people gave Moses word of it.

bbe@Exodus:16:24 @And they kept it till the morning as Moses had said: and no smell came from it, and it had no worms.

bbe@Exodus:16:26 @For six days you will get it, but on the seventh day, the Sabbath, there will not be any.

bbe@Exodus:16:27 @But still on the seventh day some of the people went out to get it, and there was not any.

bbe@Exodus:16:31 @And this bread was named manna by Israel: it was white, like a grain seed, and its taste was like cakes made with honey.

bbe@Exodus:16:32 @And Moses said, This is the order which the Lord has given: Let one omer of it be kept for future generations, so that they may see the bread which I gave you for your food in the waste land, when I took you out from the land of Egypt.

bbe@Exodus:16:33 @And Moses said to Aaron, Take a pot and put one omer of manna in it, and put it away before the Lord, to be kept for future generations.

bbe@Exodus:16:34 @So Aaron put it away in front of the holy chest to be kept, as the Lord gave orders to Moses.

bbe@Exodus:16:35 @And the children of Israel had manna for their food for forty years, till they came to a land with people in it, till they came to the edge of the land of Canaan.

bbe@Exodus:17:2 @So the people were angry with Moses, and said, Give us water for drinking. And Moses said, Why are you angry with me? and why do you put God to the test?

bbe@Exodus:17:5 @And the Lord said to Moses, Go on before the people, and take some of the chiefs of Israel with you, and take in your hand the rod which was stretched out over the Nile, and go.

bbe@Exodus:17:6 @See, I will take my place before you on the rock in Horeb; and when you give the rock a blow, water will come out of it, and the people will have drink. And Moses did so before the eyes of the chiefs of Israel.

bbe@Exodus:17:7 @And he gave that place the name Massah and Meribah, because the children of Israel were angry, and because they put the Lord to the test, saying, Is the Lord with us or not?

bbe@Exodus:17:9 @And Moses said to Joshua, Get together a band of men for us and go out, make war on Amalek: tomorrow I will take my place on the top of the hill with the rod of God in my hand.

bbe@Exodus:17:10 @So Joshua did as Moses said to him, and went to war with Amalek: and Moses, Aaron, and Hur went up to the top of the hill.

bbe@Exodus:17:12 @But Moses' hands became tired; so they put a stone under him and he took his seat on it, Aaron and Hur supporting his hands, one on one side and one on the other; so his hands were kept up without falling till the sun went down.

bbe@Exodus:17:13 @And Joshua overcame Amalek and his people with the sword.

bbe@Exodus:17:14 @And the Lord said to Moses, Make a record of this in a book, so that it may be kept in memory, and say it again in the ears of Joshua: that all memory of Amalek is to be completely uprooted from the earth.

bbe@Exodus:17:15 @Then Moses put up an altar and gave it the name of Yahweh-nissi:

bbe@Exodus:17:16 @For he said, The Lord has taken his oath that there will be war with Amalek from generation to generation.

bbe@Exodus:18:5 @And Jethro, Moses' father-in-law, came with his sons and his wife to where Moses had put up his tent in the waste land, by the mountain of God.

bbe@Exodus:18:6 @And he said to Moses, I, your father-in-law, have come to you, with your wife and your two sons.

bbe@Exodus:18:12 @Then Jethro, Moses' father-in-law, made a burned offering to God: and Aaron came, with the chiefs of Israel, and had a meal with Moses' father-in-law, before God.

bbe@Exodus:18:13 @Now on the day after, Moses took his seat to give decisions for the people: and the people were waiting before Moses from morning till evening.

bbe@Exodus:18:14 @And when Moses' father-in-law saw all he was doing, he said, What is this you are doing for the people? why are you seated here by yourself, with all the people waiting before you from morning till evening?

bbe@Exodus:18:19 @Give ear now to my suggestion, and may God be with you: you are to be the people's representative before God, taking their causes to him:

bbe@Exodus:18:21 @But for the rest, take from among the people able men, such as have the fear of God, true men hating profits wrongly made; and put such men over them, to be captains of thousands, captains of hundreds and of fifties and of tens;

bbe@Exodus:18:22 @And let them be judges in the causes of the people at all times: and let them put before you all important questions, but in small things let them give decisions themselves: in this way, it will be less hard for you, and they will take the weight off you.

bbe@Exodus:18:23 @If you do this, and God gives approval, then you will be able to go on without weariness, and all this people will go to their tents in peace.

bbe@Exodus:19:2 @And when they had gone away from Rephidim and had come into the waste land of Sinai, they put up their tents in the waste land before the mountain: there Israel put up its tents.

bbe@Exodus:19:12 @And let limits be marked out for the people round the mountain, and say to them, Take care not to go up the mountain or near the sides of it: whoever puts his foot on the mountain will certainly come to his death:

bbe@Exodus:19:16 @And when morning came on the third day, there were thunders and flames and a thick cloud on the mountain, and a horn sounding very loud; and all the people in the tents were shaking with fear.

bbe@Exodus:19:18 @And all the mountain of Sinai was smoking, for the Lord had come down on it in fire: and the smoke of it went up like the smoke of a great burning; and all the mountain was shaking.

bbe@Exodus:19:23 @And Moses said to the Lord, The people will not be able to come up the mountain, for you gave us orders to put limits round the mountain, marking it out and making it holy.

bbe@Exodus:20:8 @Keep in memory the Sabbath and let it be a holy day.

bbe@Exodus:20:11 @For in six days the Lord made heaven and earth, and the sea, and everything in them, and he took his rest on the seventh day: for this reason the Lord has given his blessing to the seventh day and made it holy.

bbe@Exodus:20:13 @Do not put anyone to death without cause.

bbe@Exodus:20:16 @Do not give false witness against your neighbour.

bbe@Exodus:20:18 @And all the people were watching the thunderings and the flames and the sound of the horn and the mountain smoking; and when they saw it, they kept far off, shaking with fear.

bbe@Exodus:20:24 @Make for me an altar of earth, offering on it your burned offerings and your peace-offerings, your sheep and your oxen: in every place where I have put the memory of my name, I will come to you and give you my blessing.

bbe@Exodus:20:25 @And if you make me an altar of stone do not make it of cut stones: for the touch of an instrument will make it unclean.

bbe@Exodus:21:2 @If you get a Hebrew servant for money, he is to be your servant for six years, and in the seventh year you are to let him go free without payment.

bbe@Exodus:21:3 @If he comes to you by himself, let him go away by himself: if he is married, let his wife go away with him.

bbe@Exodus:21:6 @Then his master is to take him to the gods of the house, and at the door, or at its framework, he is to make a hole in his ear with a sharp-pointed instrument; and he will be his servant for ever.

bbe@Exodus:21:11 @And if he does not do these three things for her, she has the right to go free without payment.

bbe@Exodus:21:14 @But if a man makes an attack on his neighbour on purpose, to put him to death by deceit, you are to take him from my altar and put him to death

bbe@Exodus:21:18 @If, in a fight, one man gives another a blow with a stone, or with the shut hand, not causing his death, but making him keep in bed;

bbe@Exodus:21:19 @If he is able to get up again and go about with a stick, the other will be let off; only he will have to give him payment for the loss of his time, and see that he is cared for till he is well.

bbe@Exodus:21:20 @If a man gives his man-servant or his woman-servant blows with a rod, causing death, he is certainly to undergo punishment.

bbe@Exodus:21:22 @If men, while fighting, do damage to a woman with child, causing the loss of the child, but no other evil comes to her, the man will have to make payment up to the amount fixed by her husband, in agreement with the decision of the judges.

bbe@Exodus:21:26 @If a man gives his man-servant or his woman-servant a blow in the eye, causing its destruction, he is to let him go free on account of the damage to his eye.

bbe@Exodus:21:28 @If an ox comes to be the cause of death to a man or a woman, the ox is to be stoned, and its flesh may not be used for food; but the owner will not be judged responsible.

bbe@Exodus:21:29 @But if the ox has frequently done such damage in the past, and the owner has had word of it and has not kept it under control, so that it has been the cause of the death of a man or woman, not only is the ox to be stoned, but its owner is to be put to death.

bbe@Exodus:21:31 @If the death of a son or of a daughter has been caused, the punishment is to be in agreement with this rule.

bbe@Exodus:21:33 @If a man makes a hole in the earth without covering it up, and an ox or an ass dropping into it comes to its death;

bbe@Exodus:21:35 @And if one man's ox does damage to another man's ox, causing its death, then the living ox is to be exchanged for money, and division made of the price of it, and of the price of the dead one.

bbe@Exodus:21:36 @But if it is common knowledge that the ox has frequently done such damage in the past, and its owner has not kept it under control, he will have to give ox for ox; and the dead beast will be his.

bbe@Exodus:22:1 @If a man takes without right another man's ox or his sheep, and puts it to death or gets a price for it, he is to give five oxen for an ox, or four sheep for a sheep, in payment: the thief will have to make payment for what he has taken; if he has no money, he himself will have to be exchanged for money, so that payment may be made.

bbe@Exodus:22:3 @But if it is after dawn, he will be responsible.

bbe@Exodus:22:4 @If he still has what he had taken, whatever it is, ox or ass or sheep, he is to give twice its value.

bbe@Exodus:22:5 @If a man makes a fire in a field or a vine-garden, and lets the fire do damage to another man's field, he is to give of the best produce of his field or his vine-garden to make up for it.

bbe@Exodus:22:7 @If a man puts money or goods in the care of his neighbour to keep for him, and it is taken from the man's house, if they get the thief, he will have to make payment of twice the value.

bbe@Exodus:22:10 @If a man puts an ass or an ox or a sheep or any beast into the keeping of his neighbour, and it comes to death or is damaged or is taken away, without any person seeing it:

bbe@Exodus:22:11 @If he takes his oath before the Lord that he has not put his hand to his neighbour's goods, the owner is to take his word for it and he will not have to make payment for it.

bbe@Exodus:22:12 @But if it is taken from him by a thief, he is to make up for the loss of it to its owner.

bbe@Exodus:22:13 @But if it has been damaged by a beast, and he is able to make this clear, he will not have to make payment for what was damaged.

bbe@Exodus:22:14 @If a man gets from his neighbour the use of one of his beasts, and it is damaged or put to death when the owner is not with it, he will certainly have to make payment for the loss.

bbe@Exodus:22:15 @If the owner is with it, he will not have to make payment: if he gave money for the use of it, the loss is covered by the payment.

bbe@Exodus:22:16 @If a man takes a virgin, who has not given her word to another man, and has connection with her, he will have to give a bride-price for her to be his wife

bbe@Exodus:22:19 @Any man who has sex connection with a beast is to be put to death.

bbe@Exodus:22:24 @And in the heat of my wrath I will put you to death with the sword, so that your wives will be widows and your children without fathers.

bbe@Exodus:22:25 @If you let any of the poor among my people have the use of your money, do not be a hard creditor to him, and do not take interest.

bbe@Exodus:22:26 @If ever you take your neighbour's clothing in exchange for the use of your money, let him have it back before the sun goes down:

bbe@Exodus:22:27 @For it is the only thing he has for covering his skin; what is he to go to sleep in? and when his cry comes up to me, I will give ear, for my mercy is great.

bbe@Exodus:22:30 @In the same way with your oxen and your sheep: for seven days let the young one be with its mother; on the eighth day give it to me.

bbe@Exodus:22:31 @You are to be holy men to me: the flesh of no animal whose death has been caused by the beasts of the field may be used for your food; it is to be given to the dogs.

bbe@Exodus:23:1 @Do not let a false statement go further; do not make an agreement with evil-doers to be a false witness.

bbe@Exodus:23:4 @If you come across the ox or the ass of one who is no friend to you wandering from its way, you are to take it back to him.

bbe@Exodus:23:5 @If you see the ass of one who has no love for you bent down to the earth under the weight which is put on it, you are to come to its help, even against your desire.

bbe@Exodus:23:11 @But in the seventh year let the land have a rest and be unplanted; so that the poor may have food from it: and let the beasts of the field take the rest. Do the same with your vine-gardens and your olive-trees.

bbe@Exodus:23:12 @For six days do your work, and on the seventh day keep the Sabbath; so that your ox and your ass may have rest, together with the son of your servant and the man from a strange land living among you.

bbe@Exodus:23:15 @You are to keep the feast of unleavened bread; for seven days let your bread be without leaven, as I gave you orders, at the regular time in the month Abib (for in it you came out of Egypt); and let no one come before me without an offering:

bbe@Exodus:23:16 @And the feast of the grain-cutting, the first-fruits of your planted fields: and the feast at the start of the year, when you have got in all the fruit from your fields.

bbe@Exodus:23:18 @Do not give the blood of my offering with leavened bread; and do not let the fat of my feast be kept all night till the morning

bbe@Exodus:23:19 @The best of the first-fruits of your land are to be taken into the house of the Lord your God. The young goat is not to be cooked in its mother's milk.

bbe@Exodus:23:23 @And my angel will go before you, guiding you into the land of the Amorite and the Hittite and the Perizzite and the Canaanite and the Hivite and the Jebusite, and they will be cut off by my hand.

bbe@Exodus:23:26 @All your animals will give birth without loss, not one will be without young in all your land; I will give you a full measure of life.

bbe@Exodus:23:28 @I will send hornets before you, driving out the Hivite and the Canaanite and the Hittite before your face.

bbe@Exodus:23:30 @Little by little I will send them away before you, till your numbers are increased and you take up your heritage in the land.

bbe@Exodus:23:31 @I will let the limits of your land be from the Red Sea to the sea of the Philistines, and from the waste land to the river Euphrates: for I will give the people of those lands into your power; and you will send them out before you.

bbe@Exodus:23:32 @Make no agreement with them or with their gods.

bbe@Exodus:23:33 @Let them not go on living in your land, or they will make you do evil against me: for if you give worship to their gods, it will certainly be a cause of sin to you.

bbe@Exodus:24:2 @And Moses only may come near to the Lord; but the others are not to come near, and the people may not come up with them.

bbe@Exodus:24:3 @Then Moses came and put before the people all the words of the Lord and his laws: and all the people, answering with one voice, said, Whatever the Lord has said we will do.

bbe@Exodus:24:4 @Then Moses put down in writing all the words of the Lord, and he got up early in the morning and made an altar at the foot of the mountain, with twelve pillars for the twelve tribes of Israel.

bbe@Exodus:24:6 @And Moses took half the blood and put it in basins; draining out half of the blood over the altar.

bbe@Exodus:24:7 @And he took the book of the agreement, reading it in the hearing of the people: and they said, Everything which the Lord has said we will do, and we will keep his laws.

bbe@Exodus:24:8 @Then Moses took the blood and let it come on the people, and said, This blood is the sign of the agreement which the Lord has made with you in these words.

bbe@Exodus:24:10 @And they saw the God of Israel; and under his feet there was, as it seemed, a jewelled floor, clear as the heavens.

bbe@Exodus:24:12 @And the Lord said to Moses, Come up to me on the mountain, and take your place there: and I will give you the stones on which I have put in writing the law and the orders, so that you may give the people knowledge of them.

bbe@Exodus:24:14 @And he said to the chiefs, Keep your places here till we come back to you: Aaron and Hur are with you; if anyone has any cause let him go to them.

bbe@Exodus:24:15 @And Moses went up into the mountain, and it was covered by the cloud.

bbe@Exodus:24:16 @And the glory of the Lord was resting on Mount Sinai, and the cloud was over it for six days; and on the seventh day he said Moses' name out of the cloud.

bbe@Exodus:25:9 @Make the House and everything in it from the designs which I will give you

bbe@Exodus:25:10 @And they are to make an ark of hard wood; two and a half cubits long, and a cubit and a half wide and high.

bbe@Exodus:25:12 @And make four rings of gold for it, to be fixed on its four feet, two rings on one side of it and two on the other.

bbe@Exodus:25:27 @The rings are to be fixed under the frame to take the rods with which the table is to be lifted.

bbe@Exodus:25:28 @Make rods of the same wood, plated with gold, for lifting the table.

bbe@Exodus:25:31 @And you are to make a support for lights, of the best gold; its base and its pillar are to be of hammered gold; its cups, its buds, and its flowers are to be made of the same metal.

bbe@Exodus:25:32 @It is to have six branches coming out from its sides; three branches from one side and three from the other.

bbe@Exodus:25:37 @Then you are to make its seven vessels for the lights, putting them in their place so that they give light in front of it.

bbe@Exodus:25:38 @And the instruments and trays for use with it are all to be of the best gold.

bbe@Exodus:25:39 @A talent of gold will be needed for it, with all these vessels.

bbe@Exodus:26:1 @And you are to make a House for me, with ten curtains of the best linen, blue and purple and red, worked with designs of winged ones by a good workman.

bbe@Exodus:26:2 @Every curtain is to be twenty-eight cubits long and four cubits wide, all of the same measure.

bbe@Exodus:26:5 @Fifty twists on one curtain and fifty on the other, the twists to be opposite one another.

bbe@Exodus:26:21 @With their forty silver bases, two under every board.

bbe@Exodus:26:23 @With two boards for the angles of the House at the back.

bbe@Exodus:26:25 @So there are to be eight boards, with their sixteen silver bases, two bases under every board.

bbe@Exodus:26:29 @And the boards are to be plated with gold, having gold rings for the rods to go through: and the rods are to be plated with gold.

bbe@Exodus:26:31 @And you are to make a veil of the best linen, blue and purple and red, worked with designs of winged ones by a good workman:

bbe@Exodus:27:3 @And make all its vessels, the baskets for taking away the dust of the fire, the spades and basins and meat-hooks and fire-trays, of brass.

bbe@Exodus:27:4 @And make a network of brass, with four brass rings at its four angles.

bbe@Exodus:27:6 @And make rods for the altar, of hard wood, plated with brass.

bbe@Exodus:27:7 @And put the rods through the rings at the two opposite sides of the altar, for lifting it.

bbe@Exodus:27:8 @The altar is to be hollow, boarded in with wood; make it from the design which you saw on the mountain.

bbe@Exodus:27:9 @And let there be an open space round the House, with hangings for its south side of the best linen, a hundred cubits long.

bbe@Exodus:27:11 @And on the north side in the same way, hangings a hundred cubits long, with twenty pillars of brass on bases of brass; their hooks and their bands are to be of silver.

bbe@Exodus:27:12 @And for the open space on the west side, the hangings are to be fifty cubits wide, with ten pillars and ten bases;

bbe@Exodus:27:13 @And on the east side the space is to be fifty cubits wide

bbe@Exodus:27:14 @On the one side of the doorway will be hangings fifteen cubits long, with three pillars and three bases;

bbe@Exodus:27:15 @And on the other side, hangings fifteen cubits long, with three pillars and three bases.

bbe@Exodus:27:16 @And across the doorway, a veil of twenty cubits of the best linen, made of needlework of blue and purple and red, with four pillars and four bases.

bbe@Exodus:27:17 @All the pillars round the open space are to have silver bands, with hooks of silver and bases of brass.

bbe@Exodus:27:18 @The open space is to be a hundred cubits long, fifty cubits wide, with sides five cubits high, curtained with the best linen, with bases of brass.

bbe@Exodus:27:19 @All the instruments for the work of the House, and all its nails, and the nails of the open space are to be of brass.

bbe@Exodus:28:1 @Now let Aaron your brother, and his sons with him, come near from among the children of Israel, so that they may be my priests, even Aaron, and Nadab, Abihu, Eleazar, and Ithamar, his sons.

bbe@Exodus:28:2 @And make holy robes for Aaron your brother, so that he may be clothed with glory and honour.

bbe@Exodus:28:3 @Give orders to all the wise-hearted workmen, whom I have made full of the spirit of wisdom, to make robes for Aaron, so that he may be made holy as my priest.

bbe@Exodus:28:7 @It is to have two bands stitched to it at the top of the arms, joining it together.

bbe@Exodus:28:8 @And the beautifully worked band, which goes on it, is to be of the same work and the same material, of gold and blue and purple and red and twisted linen-work.

bbe@Exodus:28:11 @With the work of a jeweller, like the cutting of a stamp, the names of the children of Israel are to be cut on them, and they are to be fixed in twisted frames of gold.

bbe@Exodus:28:16 @It is to be square, folded in two, a hand-stretch long and a hand-stretch wide.

bbe@Exodus:28:17 @And on it you are to put four lines of jewels; the first line is to be a cornelian, a chrysolite, and an emerald;

bbe@Exodus:28:21 @The jewels are to be twelve in number, for the names of the children of Israel; every jewel having the name of one of the twelve tribes cut on it as on a stamp.

bbe@Exodus:28:26 @Then make two gold rings and put them on the lower ends of the bag, at the edge of it on the inner side nearest to the ephod.

bbe@Exodus:28:31 @The robe which goes with the ephod is to be made all of blue;

bbe@Exodus:28:32 @With a hole at the top, in the middle of it; the hole is to be edged with a band to make it strong like the hole in the coat of a fighting-man, so that it may not be broken open.

bbe@Exodus:28:33 @And round the skirts of it put fruits in blue and purple and red, with bells of gold between;

bbe@Exodus:28:34 @A gold bell and a fruit in turn all round the skirts of the robe.

bbe@Exodus:28:35 @Aaron is to put it on for his holy work; and the sound of it will be clear, when he goes into the holy place before the Lord, and when he comes out, keeping him safe from death.

bbe@Exodus:28:36 @You are to make a plate of the best gold, cutting on it, as on a stamp, these words: HOLY TO THE LORD.

bbe@Exodus:28:37 @Put a blue cord on it and put it on the front of the twisted head-dress:

bbe@Exodus:28:38 @And it will be over Aaron's brow, so that Aaron will be responsible for any error in all the holy offerings made by the children of Israel; it will be on his brow at all times, so that their offerings may be pleasing to the Lord.

bbe@Exodus:28:40 @And for Aaron's sons you are to make coats, and bands, and head-dresses, so that they may be clothed with glory and honour.

bbe@Exodus:29:1 @This is what you are to do to make them holy, to do the work of priests to me: Take one young ox and two male sheep, without any mark on them,

bbe@Exodus:29:2 @And unleavened bread, and unleavened cakes mixed with oil, and thin unleavened cakes on which oil has been put, made of the best bread-meal;

bbe@Exodus:29:3 @Put these in a basket and take them, with the ox and the two sheep.

bbe@Exodus:29:4 @And let Aaron and his sons come to the door of the Tent of meeting, and there let them be washed with water.

bbe@Exodus:29:7 @Then take the oil and put it on his head.

bbe@Exodus:29:10 @Then let the ox be taken in front of the Tent of meeting: and let Aaron and his sons put their hands on its head.

bbe@Exodus:29:12 @Then take some of the blood of the ox, and put it on the horns of the altar with your finger, draining out all the rest of the blood at the base of the altar.

bbe@Exodus:29:13 @And take all the fat covering the inside of the ox, and the fat joining the liver and the two kidneys with the fat round them, and let them be burned on the altar;

bbe@Exodus:29:14 @But the flesh of the ox and its skin and its waste parts are to be burned outside the circle of the tents, for it is a sin-offering.

bbe@Exodus:29:15 @Then take one of the sheep, and let Aaron and his sons put their hands on its head.

bbe@Exodus:29:16 @Then let it be put to death, so that the sides of the altar are marked with its blood.

bbe@Exodus:29:17 @Then the sheep is to be cut up into its parts, and after washing its legs and its inside parts, you are to put them with the parts and the head,

bbe@Exodus:29:19 @Then take the other sheep; and after Aaron and his sons have put their hands on its head,

bbe@Exodus:29:20 @You are to put the sheep to death, and take some of its blood and put it on the point of Aaron's right ear, and of the right ears of his sons, and on the thumbs of their right hands and the great toes of their right feet, dropping the rest of the blood on the sides of the altar.

bbe@Exodus:29:21 @Then take some of the blood on the altar, and the oil, and put it on Aaron and his robes and on his sons and on their robes, so that he and his robes and his sons and their robes may be made holy.

bbe@Exodus:29:22 @Then take the fat of the sheep, the fat tail, the fat covering the insides, and the fat joining the liver and the two kidneys with the fat round them, and the right leg; for by the offering of this sheep they are to be marked out as priests:

bbe@Exodus:29:23 @And take one bit of bread and one cake of oiled bread and one thin cake out of the basket of unleavened bread which is before the Lord:

bbe@Exodus:29:26 @Then take the breast of Aaron's sheep, waving it before the Lord; and it is to be your part of the offering.

bbe@Exodus:29:28 @And it will be their part as a right for ever from the children of Israel, it is a special offering from the children of Israel, made from their peace-offerings, a special offering lifted up to the Lord.

bbe@Exodus:29:31 @Then take the sheep of the wave offering and let its flesh be cooked in water in a holy place.

bbe@Exodus:29:32 @And let Aaron and his sons make a meal of it, with the bread in the basket, at the door of the Tent of meeting.

bbe@Exodus:29:34 @And if any of the flesh of the offering or of the bread is over till the morning, let it be burned with fire; it is not to be used for food, for it is holy.

bbe@Exodus:29:36 @Every day an ox is to be offered as a sin-offering, to take away sins: and by this offering on it, you will make the altar clean from sin; and you are to put oil on it and make it holy.

bbe@Exodus:29:37 @For seven days you are to make offerings for the altar and make it holy, so that it may become completely holy, and anything touching it will become holy.

bbe@Exodus:29:40 @And with the one lamb, a tenth part of an ephah of the best meal, mixed with a fourth part of a hin of clear oil; and the fourth part of a hin of wine for a drink offering.

bbe@Exodus:29:41 @And the other lamb is to be offered in the evening, and with it the same meal offering and drink offering, for a sweet smell, an offering made by fire to the Lord.

bbe@Exodus:29:42 @This is to be a regular burned offering made from generation to generation, at the door of the Tent of meeting before the Lord, where I will come face to face with you and have talk with you.

bbe@Exodus:29:43 @There I will come face to face with the children of Israel, and the Tent will be made holy by my glory

bbe@Exodus:29:46 @And they will see that I am the Lord their God, who took them out of the land of Egypt, so that I might be ever with them: I am the Lord their God.

bbe@Exodus:30:1 @And you are to make an altar for the burning of perfume; of hard wood let it be made.

bbe@Exodus:30:2 @The altar is to be square, a cubit long and a cubit wide, and two cubits high, and its horns are to be made of the same.

bbe@Exodus:30:3 @It is to be plated with the best gold, the top of it and the sides and the horns, with an edging of gold all round it.

bbe@Exodus:30:4 @Under the edge on the two opposite sides, you are to make two gold rings, to take the rods for lifting it.

bbe@Exodus:30:5 @And make these rods of the same wood, plating them with gold.

bbe@Exodus:30:6 @And let it be placed in front of the veil before the ark of the law, before the cover which is over the law, where I will come face to face with you.

bbe@Exodus:30:9 @No strange perfume, no burned offering or meal offering, and no drink offering is to be offered on it.

bbe@Exodus:30:10 @And once every year Aaron is to make its horns clean: with the blood of the sin-offering he is to make it clean once every year from generation to generation: it is most holy to the Lord.

bbe@Exodus:30:18 @You are to make a brass washing-vessel, with a brass base; and put it between the Tent of meeting and the altar, with water in it;

bbe@Exodus:30:19 @That it may be used by Aaron and his sons for washing their hands and feet;

bbe@Exodus:30:20 @Whenever they go into the Tent of meeting they are to be washed with water, to keep them from death; and whenever they come near to do the work of the altar, or to make an offering by fire to the Lord,

bbe@Exodus:30:25 @And make these into a holy oil, a perfume made by the art of the perfume-maker; it is to be a holy oil.

bbe@Exodus:30:27 @And on the table and all its vessels, and on the support for the lights, with its vessels, and on the altar for burning spices,

bbe@Exodus:30:28 @And on the altar of burned offerings with its vessels, and on the washing-vessel and its base.

bbe@Exodus:30:32 @It is not to be used for man's flesh, and no other is to be made like it: holy it is, and you are to keep it holy.

bbe@Exodus:30:33 @Whoever makes any like it, or puts it on one who is not a priest, will be cut off from his people.

bbe@Exodus:30:34 @And the Lord said to Moses, Take sweet spices, stacte and onycha and galbanum, with the best frankincense, in equal weights;

bbe@Exodus:30:35 @And make from them a perfume, such as is made by the art of the perfume-maker, mixed with salt, and clean and holy.

bbe@Exodus:30:36 @And put some of it, crushed very small, in front of the ark in the Tent of meeting, where I will come face to face with you; it is to be most holy.

bbe@Exodus:30:37 @You are not to make any perfume like it for yourselves: it is to be kept holy to the Lord.

bbe@Exodus:30:38 @Whoever makes any like it, for its sweet smell, will be cut off from his people.

bbe@Exodus:31:3 @And I have given him the spirit of God and made him wise and full of knowledge and expert in every sort of handwork,

bbe@Exodus:31:6 @And I have made selection of Oholiab with him, the son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan; and in the hearts of all who are wise I have put the knowledge to make whatever I have given you orders to have made;

bbe@Exodus:31:7 @The Tent of meeting, and the ark of the law, and the cover which is on it, and all the things for the tent,

bbe@Exodus:31:8 @And the table with its vessels, and the holy light-support with all its vessels, and the altar for the burning of spices,

bbe@Exodus:31:9 @And the altar of burned offerings with all its vessels, and the washing-vessel with its base,

bbe@Exodus:31:14 @So you are to keep the Sabbath as a holy day; and anyone not honouring it will certainly be put to death: whoever does any work on that day will be cut off from his people.

bbe@Exodus:31:17 @It is a sign between me and the children of Israel for ever; because in six days the Lord made heaven and earth, and on the seventh day he took his rest and had pleasure in it.

bbe@Exodus:31:18 @And when his talk with Moses on Mount Sinai was ended, he gave him the two stones of the law, two stones on which was the writing made by the finger of God.

bbe@Exodus:32:4 @And he took the gold from them and, hammering it with an instrument, he made it into the metal image of a young ox: and they said, This is your god, O Israel, who took you out of the land of Egypt.

bbe@Exodus:32:5 @And when Aaron saw this, he made an altar before it, and made a public statement, saying, Tomorrow there will be a feast to the Lord.

bbe@Exodus:32:8 @Even now they are turned away from the rule I gave them, and have made themselves a metal ox and given worship to it and offerings, saying, This is your god, O Israel, who took you up out of the land of Egypt.

bbe@Exodus:32:11 @But Moses made prayer to God, saying, Lord, why is your wrath burning against your people whom you took out of the land of Egypt, with great power and with the strength of your hand?

bbe@Exodus:32:13 @Have in mind Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, your servants, to whom you gave your oath, saying, I will make your seed like the stars of heaven in number, and all this land will I give to your seed, as I said, to be their heritage for ever.

bbe@Exodus:32:15 @Then Moses came down the mountain with the two stones of the law in his hand; the stones had writing on their two sides, on the front and on the back.

bbe@Exodus:32:16 @The stones were the work of God, and the writing was the writing of God, cut on the stones.

bbe@Exodus:32:18 @And Moses said, It is not the voice of men who are overcoming in the fight, or the cry of those who have been overcome; it is the sound of songs which comes to my ear.

bbe@Exodus:32:20 @And he took the ox which they had made, burning it in the fire and crushing it to powder, and he put it in the water and made the children of Israel take a drink of it.

bbe@Exodus:32:24 @Then I said to them, Whoever has any gold, let him take it off; so they gave it to me, and I put it in the fire, and this image of an ox came out.

bbe@Exodus:33:1 @And the Lord said to Moses, Go forward from this place, you and the people whom you have taken up out of the land of Egypt, to that land about which I made an oath to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, saying, To your seed will I give it.

bbe@Exodus:33:2 @And I will send an angel before you, driving out the Canaanite and the Amorite and the Hittite and the Perizzite and the Hivite and the Jebusite:

bbe@Exodus:33:3 @Go up to that land flowing with milk and honey; but I will not go up among you, for you are a stiff-necked people, for fear that I send destruction on you while you are on the way.

bbe@Exodus:33:5 @And the Lord said to Moses, Say to the children of Israel, You are a stiff-necked people: if I come among you, even for a minute, I will send destruction on you; so take off all your ornaments, so that I may see what to do with you.

bbe@Exodus:33:7 @Now it was Moses' way to put up the Tent of meeting outside the tent-circle, at some distance away; giving it the name of The Tent of meeting. And everyone desiring to make his prayer to the Lord went to the Tent of meeting outside the tent-circle.

bbe@Exodus:33:9 @And whenever Moses went into the Tent, the pillar of cloud came down, and took its place by the door of the Tent, as long as the Lord was talking with Moses.

bbe@Exodus:33:11 @And the Lord had talk with Moses face to face, as a man may have talk with his friend. And when Moses came back to the tents, his servant, the young man Joshua, the son of Nun, did not come away from the Tent.

bbe@Exodus:33:12 @And Moses said to the Lord, See, you say to me, Be this people's guide on their journey, but you have not made clear to me whom you will send with me. But you have said, I have knowledge of you by name, and you have grace in my eyes.

bbe@Exodus:33:14 @And he said, I myself will go with you and give you rest.

bbe@Exodus:33:15 @And Moses said, If you yourself are not going with us, do not send us on from here.

bbe@Exodus:33:16 @For is not the fact of your going with us the sign that I and this people have grace in your eyes, so that we, that is, I and your people, are separate from all other people on the face of the earth?

bbe@Exodus:33:20 @But it is not possible for you to see my face, for no man may see me and still go on living.

bbe@Exodus:33:22 @And when my glory goes by, I will put you in a hole in the rock, covering you with my hand till I have gone past:

bbe@Exodus:34:3 @No one is to come up with you, and let no man be seen anywhere on the mountain; let no flocks or herds come near to get their food at its foot.

bbe@Exodus:34:4 @So Moses got two stones cut like the first; and early in the morning he went up Mount Sinai, as the Lord had said, with the two stones in his hand.

bbe@Exodus:34:6 @And the Lord went past before his eyes, saying, The Lord, the Lord, a God full of pity and grace, slow to wrath and great in mercy and faith;

bbe@Exodus:34:9 @And he said, If now I have grace in your eyes, let the Lord go among us, for this is a stiff-necked people, and give us forgiveness for our wrongdoing and our sin, and take us for your heritage.

bbe@Exodus:34:11 @Take care to do the orders which I give you today; I will send out from before you the Amorite and the Canaanite and the Hittite and the Perizzite and the Hivite and the Jebusite.

bbe@Exodus:34:12 @But take care, and do not make any agreement with the people of the land where you are going, for it will be a cause of sin to you.

bbe@Exodus:34:15 @So see that you make no agreement with the people of the land, and do not go after their gods, or take part in their offerings, or be guests at their feasts,

bbe@Exodus:34:16 @Or take their daughters for your sons; for when their daughters give worship before their gods, they will make your sons take part with them.

bbe@Exodus:34:18 @Keep the feast of unleavened bread; for seven days your food is to be bread without leaven, as I gave you orders, at the regular time in the month Abib; for in that month you came out of Egypt.

bbe@Exodus:34:20 @A lamb may be given in payment for the young of an ass, but if you will not make payment for it, its neck will have to be broken. For all the first of your sons you are to make payment. No one is to come before me without an offering.

bbe@Exodus:34:22 @And you are to keep the feast of weeks when you get in the first-fruits of the grain, and the feast at the turn of the year when you take in the produce of your fields.

bbe@Exodus:34:24 @For I will send out the nations before you and make wide the limits of your land; and no man will make an attempt to take your land while you go up to give worship to the Lord, three times in the year.

bbe@Exodus:34:25 @No leaven is to be offered with the blood of my offering, and the offering of the Passover feast may not be kept till the morning.

bbe@Exodus:34:26 @Take the first-fruits of your land as an offering to the house of the Lord your God. Let not the young goat be cooked in its mother's milk

bbe@Exodus:34:27 @And the Lord said to Moses, Put all these words in writing; for on them is based the agreement which I will make with you.

bbe@Exodus:34:28 @And for forty days and forty nights Moses was there with the Lord, and in that time he had no food or drink. And he put in writing on the stones the words of the agreement, the ten rules of the law.

bbe@Exodus:34:29 @Now when Moses came down from Mount Sinai, with the two stones in his hand, he was not conscious that his face was shining because of his talk with God.

bbe@Exodus:34:31 @Then Moses sent for them; and Aaron, with the chiefs of the people, came to him; and Moses had talk with them.

bbe@Exodus:34:33 @And at the end of his talk with them, Moses put a veil over his face.

bbe@Exodus:34:34 @But whenever Moses went in before the Lord to have talk with him, he took off the veil till he came out. And whenever he came out he said to the children of Israel what he had been ordered to say;

bbe@Exodus:35:11 @The House and its tent and its cover, its hooks and its boards, its rods and its pillars and its bases;

bbe@Exodus:35:12 @The ark with its cover and its rods and the veil hanging before it;

bbe@Exodus:35:13 @The table and its rods and all its vessels, and the holy bread;

bbe@Exodus:35:14 @And the support for the lights, with its vessels and its lights and the oil for the light;

bbe@Exodus:35:15 @And the altar for burning spices, with its rods, and the holy oil and the sweet perfume, and the curtain for the door, at the door of the House;

bbe@Exodus:35:16 @The altar of burned offerings, with its network of brass, its rods, and all its vessels, the washing-vessel and its base;

bbe@Exodus:35:17 @The hangings for the open space, its pillars and their bases, and the curtain for the doorway;

bbe@Exodus:35:21 @And everyone whose heart was moved, everyone who was guided by the impulse of his spirit, came with his offering for the Lord, for whatever was needed for the Tent of meeting and its work and for the holy robes.

bbe@Exodus:35:24 @Everyone who had silver and brass gave an offering of them to the Lord; and everyone who had hard wood, such as was needed for the work, gave it.

bbe@Exodus:35:25 @And all the women who were expert with their hands, made cloth, and gave the work of their hands, blue and purple and red and the best linen.

bbe@Exodus:35:31 @And he has made him full of the spirit of God, in all wisdom and knowledge and art of every sort;

bbe@Exodus:36:1 @So let Bezalel and Oholiab get to work, with every wise-hearted man to whom the Lord has given wisdom and knowledge, to do whatever is necessary for the ordering of the holy place, as the Lord has given orders.

bbe@Exodus:36:6 @So Moses made an order and had it given out through all the tents, saying, Let no man or woman make any more offerings for the holy place. So the people were kept from giving more.

bbe@Exodus:36:8 @Then all the expert workmen among them made the House with its ten curtains; of the best linen, blue and purple and red, they made them, with winged ones worked by expert designers.

bbe@Exodus:36:9 @Every curtain was twenty-eight cubits long and four cubits wide, all of the same measure.

bbe@Exodus:36:12 @Fifty twists on the one curtain and fifty on the edge of the curtain of the other group; the twists being opposite to one another.

bbe@Exodus:36:13 @And they made fifty hooks of gold, joining the curtains one to another with the hooks; and so the House was made.

bbe@Exodus:36:15 @Every curtain was thirty cubits long and four cubits wide, all of the same measure.

bbe@Exodus:36:21 @The boards were ten cubits long and one cubit and a half wide.

bbe@Exodus:36:22 @Every board had two tongues fixed into it; all the boards were made in this way.

bbe@Exodus:36:24 @And for these twenty boards, forty silver bases, two bases under every board, to take its tongues.

bbe@Exodus:36:26 @With their forty silver bases, two bases for every board.

bbe@Exodus:36:30 @So there were eight boards with sixteen bases of silver, two bases under every board.

bbe@Exodus:36:34 @All the boards were plated with gold, and the rings through which the rods went were of gold, and the rods were plated with gold.

bbe@Exodus:36:35 @And he made the veil of the best linen, blue and purple and red, worked with winged ones designed by expert workmen.

bbe@Exodus:36:36 @And they made four pillars for it of hard wood plated with gold: they had hooks of gold and four silver bases.

bbe@Exodus:36:37 @And they made a curtain for the door of the tent, of the best linen with needlework of blue and purple and red;

bbe@Exodus:36:38 @And five pillars for the curtain, with their hooks; the heads of the pillars were of gold and they were circled with bands of gold; and their five bases were of brass.

bbe@Exodus:37:1 @And Bezalel made the ark of hard wood, two and a half cubits long, a cubit and a half wide and a cubit and a half high;

bbe@Exodus:37:2 @Plating it inside and out with the best gold, and putting an edge of gold all round it.

bbe@Exodus:37:3 @And he made four gold rings for its four angles, two on one side and two on the other,

bbe@Exodus:37:4 @And rods of the same wood plated with gold.

bbe@Exodus:37:5 @These rods he put in the rings at the sides of the ark, for lifting it.

bbe@Exodus:37:6 @And he made the cover all of gold, two and a half cubits long and a cubit and a half wide.

bbe@Exodus:37:7 @And he made two winged ones, hammered out of one bit of gold, for the two ends of the cover;

bbe@Exodus:37:9 @And their wings were stretched out over the cover; the faces of the winged ones were opposite one another and facing the cover.

bbe@Exodus:37:10 @And he made the table of hard wood, two cubits long, a cubit wide and a cubit and a half high;

bbe@Exodus:37:11 @Plating it with the best gold and putting a gold edge all round it.

bbe@Exodus:37:12 @And he made a frame all round it about as wide as a man's hand, edged with gold all round.

bbe@Exodus:37:13 @And he made four gold rings, and put the rings at the angles of its four feet.

bbe@Exodus:37:14 @The rings were fixed under the frame to take the rods with which the table was to be lifted.

bbe@Exodus:37:15 @The rods for lifting the table he made of hard wood plated with gold.

bbe@Exodus:37:17 @Then he made the support for the lights, all of the best gold; its base and its pillar were of hammered gold; its cups and buds and flowers were all made out of the same metal:

bbe@Exodus:37:18 @It had six branches coming out from its sides, three from one side and three from the other;

bbe@Exodus:37:19 @Every branch having three cups made like almond flowers, every cup with a bud and a flower on all the branches;

bbe@Exodus:37:20 @And on its pillar, four cups like almond flowers, every one with its bud and its flower;

bbe@Exodus:37:21 @And under every two branches a bud, made with the branch, for all six branches of it.

bbe@Exodus:37:23 @And he made the seven vessels for the lights, and all the necessary instruments for it, of gold.

bbe@Exodus:37:24 @A talent of the best gold was used for the making of it and its vessels.

bbe@Exodus:37:25 @And he made the altar for the burning of spices, using the same hard wood; it was square, a cubit long and a cubit wide and two cubits high; the horns made of the same.

bbe@Exodus:37:26 @The top and the sides and the horns were all plated with the best gold; and he put an edge of gold all round it.

bbe@Exodus:37:27 @And he made two gold rings, placing them on the two opposite sides under the edge, to take the rods for lifting it.

bbe@Exodus:37:28 @The rods he made of the same hard wood, plating them with gold.

bbe@Exodus:38:1 @The altar of burned offerings he made of hard wood; a square altar, five cubits long, five cubits wide and three cubits high,

bbe@Exodus:38:2 @And he put horns at its four angles made of the same, plating it all with brass;

bbe@Exodus:38:4 @And he made a network of brass for the altar, under the frame round it, stretching half-way up;

bbe@Exodus:38:6 @The rods he made of hard wood plated with brass.

bbe@Exodus:38:7 @He put the rods through the rings at the opposite sides of the altar for lifting it; he made the altar hollow, boarded in with wood.

bbe@Exodus:38:9 @To make the open space, he put hangings on the south side, of the best linen, a hundred cubits long:

bbe@Exodus:38:11 @And for the north side. hangings a hundred cubits long, on twenty brass pillars in brass bases, with silver hooks and bands.

bbe@Exodus:38:12 @And on the west side, hangings fifty cubits long, on ten pillars in ten bases, with silver bands.

bbe@Exodus:38:13 @And on the east side, the open space was fifty cubits long.

bbe@Exodus:38:14 @The hangings on one side of the doorway were fifteen cubits long, on three pillars with their three bases;

bbe@Exodus:38:15 @And the same on the other side of the doorway; on this side and on that the hangings were fifteen cubits long, on three pillars with their three bases.

bbe@Exodus:38:17 @And the bases of the pillars were of brass; their hooks and the bands round the tops of them were of silver; all the pillars were ringed with silver.

bbe@Exodus:38:18 @And the curtain for the doorway of the open space was of the best linen, with designs of blue and purple and red in needlework; it was twenty cubits long and five cubits high, to go with the hangings round the sides.

bbe@Exodus:38:19 @There were four pillars with their bases, all of brass, the hooks being of silver, and their tops and their bands being covered with silver.

bbe@Exodus:38:20 @All the nails used for the House and the open space round it were of brass.

bbe@Exodus:38:21 @This is the price of the making of the House, even the House of witness, as it was valued by the word of Moses, for the work of the Levites under the direction of Ithamar, the son of Aaron the priest.

bbe@Exodus:38:23 @And with him was Oholiab, the son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan; a designer and a trained workman, expert in needlework of blue and purple and red and the best linen.

bbe@Exodus:38:30 @From it he made the bases of the doorway of the Tent of meeting and the brass altar and the network for it and all the vessels for the altar,

bbe@Exodus:38:31 @And the bases for the open space all round and for its doorway, and all the nails for the House and for the open space.

bbe@Exodus:39:3 @Hammering the gold into thin plates and cutting it into wires to be worked into the blue and the purple and the red and the linen by the designer.

bbe@Exodus:39:4 @And they made two bands for joining its edges together at the top of the arms.

bbe@Exodus:39:5 @And the beautifully worked band which went on it was of the same design and the same material, worked in gold and blue and purple and red and twisted linen-work, as the Lord gave orders to Moses.

bbe@Exodus:39:6 @Then they made the beryl stones, fixed in twisted frames of gold and cut like the cutting of a stamp, with the names of the children of Israel.

bbe@Exodus:39:8 @The priest's bag was designed like the ephod, of the best linen worked with gold and blue and purple and red.

bbe@Exodus:39:9 @It was square and folded in two, as long and as wide as the stretch of a man's hand;

bbe@Exodus:39:10 @And on it they put four lines of stones: in the first line was a carnelian, a chrysolite, and an emerald;

bbe@Exodus:39:21 @And the rings on the bag were fixed to the rings of the ephod by a blue cord, keeping it in place over the band, so that the bag might not get loose, as the Lord gave orders to Moses.

bbe@Exodus:39:22 @The robe which went with the ephod was made all of blue;

bbe@Exodus:39:23 @With a hole at the top in the middle, like the hole in the coat of a fighting-man, edged with a band to make it strong.

bbe@Exodus:39:24 @The skirts of the robe were worked all round with fruits in blue and purple and red made of twisted linen.

bbe@Exodus:39:25 @And between the fruits all round the skirt they put gold bells, as the Lord gave orders to Moses.

bbe@Exodus:39:26 @All round the skirt of the robe were bells and fruits in turn.

bbe@Exodus:39:29 @And a linen band worked with a design of blue and purple and red, as the Lord had said to Moses.

bbe@Exodus:39:30 @The plate for the holy crown was made of the best gold, and on it were cut these words, HOLY TO THE LORD.

bbe@Exodus:39:31 @It was fixed to the head-dress by a blue cord, as the Lord had given orders to Moses.

bbe@Exodus:39:32 @So all the work on the House of the Tent of meeting was done; as the Lord had given orders to Moses, so the children of Israel did it.

bbe@Exodus:39:33 @Then they took the House to Moses, the tent with all the things for it; its hooks, its boards, its rods, its pillars, and its bases;

bbe@Exodus:39:35 @The ark of the law, with its rods and its cover;

bbe@Exodus:39:36 @The table, with all its vessels and the holy bread;

bbe@Exodus:39:37 @The support for the lights, with the vessels for the lights to be put in their places on it, and all its vessels, and the oil for the lights;

bbe@Exodus:39:39 @And the brass altar, with its network of brass, and its rods and all its vessels, and the washing-vessel and its base;

bbe@Exodus:39:40 @The hangings for the open space, with the pillars and their bases, and the curtain for the doorway, and the cords and nails, and all the instruments necessary for the work of the House of the Tent of meeting;

bbe@Exodus:40:3 @And inside it put the ark of the law, hanging the veil before it.

bbe@Exodus:40:4 @And put the table inside, placing all the things on it in order; and put in the support for the lights, and let its lights be burning.

bbe@Exodus:40:7 @And let the washing-vessel, with water in it, be put between the Tent of meeting and the altar.

bbe@Exodus:40:8 @And put up the hangings forming the open space all round it, with the curtain over its doorway.

bbe@Exodus:40:9 @And take the holy oil and put it on the House and everything in it, and make it and everything in it holy:

bbe@Exodus:40:10 @And put oil on the altar of burned offering, and make it and all its vessels holy; this altar is to be most holy.

bbe@Exodus:40:11 @And put oil on the washing-vessel and its base, and make them holy.

bbe@Exodus:40:12 @Then let Aaron and his sons come to the door of the Tent of meeting; and after washing them with water,

bbe@Exodus:40:14 @And take his sons with him and put coats on them;

bbe@Exodus:40:18 @Moses put up the House; placing its bases in position and lifting up its uprights, putting in the rods and planting the pillars in their places;

bbe@Exodus:40:19 @Stretching the outer tent over it, and covering it, as the Lord had given him orders.

bbe@Exodus:40:20 @And he took the law and put it inside the ark, and put the rods at its side and the cover over it;

bbe@Exodus:40:21 @And he took the ark into the House, hanging up the veil before it as the Lord had given him orders.

bbe@Exodus:40:23 @And he put the bread on it in order before the Lord, as the Lord had said.

bbe@Exodus:40:24 @The support for the lights he put in the Tent of meeting, opposite the table, on the south side:

bbe@Exodus:40:27 @Burning sweet perfumes on it, as the Lord had given him orders.

bbe@Exodus:40:29 @And at the door of the House of the Tent of meeting, he put the altar of burned offerings, offering on it the burned offering and the meal offering, as the Lord had given him orders.

bbe@Exodus:40:30 @And between the altar and the Tent of meeting he put the vessel with water in it for washing.

bbe@Exodus:40:31 @In it the hands and feet of Moses and Aaron and his sons were washed,

bbe@Exodus:40:35 @So that Moses was not able to go into the Tent of meeting, because the cloud was resting on it, and the House was full of the glory of the Lord.

bbe@Exodus:40:37 @But while the cloud was there, they made no move till it was taken up.

bbe@Exodus:40:38 @For the cloud of the Lord was resting on the House by day, and at night there was fire in the cloud, before the eyes of all the people of Israel, and so it was through all their journeys.

bbe@Leviticus:1:1 @And the voice of the Lord came to Moses out of the Tent of meeting, saying,

bbe@Leviticus:1:2 @Give these orders to the children of Israel: When anyone of you makes an offering to the Lord, you are to take it from the cattle, from the herd or from the flock.

bbe@Leviticus:1:3 @If the offering is a burned offering of the herd, let him give a male without a mark: he is to give it at the door of the Tent of meeting so that he may be pleasing to the Lord.

bbe@Leviticus:1:4 @And he is to put his hand on the head of the burned offering and it will be taken for him, to take away his sin.

bbe@Leviticus:1:5 @And the ox is to be put to death before the Lord: then Aaron's sons, the priests, are to take the blood and put some of it on and round the altar which is at the door of the Tent of meeting.

bbe@Leviticus:1:6 @And the burned offering is to be skinned and cut up into its parts.

bbe@Leviticus:1:7 @And Aaron's sons, the priests, are to put fire on the altar and put the wood in order on the fire:

bbe@Leviticus:1:8 @And Aaron's sons, the priests, are to put the parts, the head and the fat, in order on the wood which is on the fire on the altar:

bbe@Leviticus:1:9 @But its inside parts and its legs are to be washed with water, and it will all be burned on the altar by the priest for a burned offering, an offering made by fire, for a sweet smell to the Lord.

bbe@Leviticus:1:10 @And if his offering is of the flock, a burned offering of sheep or goats, let him give a male without a mark.

bbe@Leviticus:1:11 @And he is to put it to death on the north side of the altar before the Lord: and Aaron's sons, the priests, are to put some of the blood on and round the altar.

bbe@Leviticus:1:12 @And the offering is to be cut into its parts, with its head and its fat; and the priest is to put them in order on the wood which is on the fire on the altar:

bbe@Leviticus:1:13 @But the inside parts and the legs are to be washed with water; and the priest will make an offering of all of it, burning it on the altar: it is a burned offering, an offering made by fire, for a sweet smell to the Lord.

bbe@Leviticus:1:14 @And if his offering to the Lord is a burned offering of birds, then he is to make his offering of doves or of young pigeons.

bbe@Leviticus:1:15 @And the priest is to take it to the altar, and after its head has been twisted off, it is to be burned on the altar, and its blood drained out on the side of the altar:

bbe@Leviticus:1:16 @And he is to take away its stomach, with its feathers, and put it down by the east side of the altar, where the burned waste is put:

bbe@Leviticus:1:17 @And let it be broken open at the wings, but not cut in two; and let it be burned on the altar by the priest on the wood which is on the fire; it is a burned offering; an offering made by fire for a sweet smell to the Lord.

bbe@Leviticus:2:1 @And when anyone makes a meal offering to the Lord, let his offering be of the best meal, with oil on it and perfume:

bbe@Leviticus:2:2 @And let him take it to Aaron's sons, the priests; and having taken in his hand some of the meal and of the oil, with all the perfume, let him give it to the priest to be burned on the altar, as a sign, an offering made by fire, for a sweet smell to the Lord.

bbe@Leviticus:2:3 @And the rest of the meal offering will be for Aaron and his sons; it is most holy among the Lord's fire offerings.

bbe@Leviticus:2:4 @And when you give a meal offering cooked in the oven, let it be of unleavened cakes of the best meal mixed with oil, or thin unleavened cakes covered with oil.

bbe@Leviticus:2:5 @And if you give a meal offering cooked on a flat plate, let it be of the best meal, unleavened and mixed with oil.

bbe@Leviticus:2:6 @Let it be broken into bits, and put oil on it; it is a meal offering.

bbe@Leviticus:2:7 @And if your offering is of meal cooked in fat over the fire, let it be made of the best meal mixed with oil.

bbe@Leviticus:2:8 @And you are to give the meal offering made of these things to the Lord, and let the priest take it to the altar.

bbe@Leviticus:2:9 @And he is to take from the meal offering a part, for a sign, burning it on the altar; an offering made by fire for a sweet smell to the Lord.

bbe@Leviticus:2:10 @And the rest of the meal offering will be for Aaron and his sons; it is most holy among the Lord's fire offerings.

bbe@Leviticus:2:11 @No meal offering which you give to the Lord is to be made with leaven; no leaven or honey is to be burned as an offering made by fire to the Lord.

bbe@Leviticus:2:12 @You may give them as an offering of first-fruits to the Lord, but they are not to go up as a sweet smell on the altar.

bbe@Leviticus:2:13 @And every meal offering is to be salted with salt; your meal offering is not to be without the salt of the agreement of your God: with all your offerings give salt.

bbe@Leviticus:2:14 @And if you give a meal offering of first-fruits to the Lord, give, as your offering of first-fruits, new grain, made dry with fire, crushed new grain.

bbe@Leviticus:2:15 @And put oil on it and perfume: it is a meal offering.

bbe@Leviticus:2:16 @And part of the meal of the offering and part of the oil and all the perfume is to be burned for a sign by the priest: it is an offering made by fire to the Lord.

bbe@Leviticus:3:1 @And if his offering is given for a peace-offering; if he gives of the herd, male or female, let him give it without any mark on it, before the Lord.

bbe@Leviticus:3:2 @And he is to put his hand on the head of his offering and put it to death at the door of the Tent of meeting; and Aaron's sons, the priests, are to put some of the blood on and round the altar.

bbe@Leviticus:3:3 @And he is to give of the peace-offering, as an offering made by fire to the Lord; the fat covering the inside parts and all the fat on the inside parts,

bbe@Leviticus:3:4 @And the two kidneys, and the fat on them, which is by the top part of the legs, and the fat joining the liver and the kidneys, he is to take away;

bbe@Leviticus:3:17 @Let it be an order for ever, through all your generations, in all your houses, that you are not to take fat or blood for food.

bbe@Leviticus:4:1 @And the Lord said to Moses,

bbe@Leviticus:4:2 @Say to the children of Israel: These are the offerings of anyone who does wrong through error, doing any of the things which by the Lord's order are not to be done:

bbe@Leviticus:4:3 @If the chief priest by doing wrong becomes a cause of sin to the people, then let him give to the Lord for the sin which he has done, an ox, without any mark, for a sin-offering.

bbe@Leviticus:4:4 @And he is to take the ox to the door of the Tent of meeting before the Lord; and put his hand on its head and put it to death before the Lord.

bbe@Leviticus:4:5 @And the chief priest is to take some of its blood and take it to the Tent of meeting;

bbe@Leviticus:4:6 @And the priest is to put his finger in the blood, shaking drops of it before the Lord seven times, in front of the veil of the holy place.

bbe@Leviticus:4:7 @And the priest is to put some of the blood on the horns of the altar on which perfume is burned before the Lord in the Tent of meeting, draining out all the rest of the blood of the ox at the base of the altar of burned offering which is at the door of the Tent of meeting.

bbe@Leviticus:6:12 @The fire on the altar is to be kept burning; it is never to go out; every morning the priest is to put wood on it, placing the burned offering in order on it, and there the fat of the peace-offering is to be burned.

bbe@Leviticus:6:13 @Let the fire be kept burning on the altar at all times; it is never to go out.

bbe@Leviticus:6:14 @And this is the law for the meal offering: it is to be offered to the Lord before the altar by the sons of Aaron

bbe@Leviticus:6:15 @The priest is to take in his hand some of the meal of the meal offering and of the oil of it, and all the perfume on it, burning it on the altar as a sign, for a sweet smell to the Lord.

bbe@Leviticus:6:16 @And whatever is over Aaron and his sons may have for their food, taking it without leaven in a holy place; in the open space of the Tent of meeting they may take a meal of it.

bbe@Leviticus:6:17 @It is not to be cooked with leaven. I have given it to them as their part of the offerings made by fire to me; it is most holy, as are the sin-offerings and the offerings for error.

bbe@Leviticus:6:18 @Every male among the children of Aaron may have it for food; it is their right for ever through all your generations, from the offerings made by fire to the Lord: anyone touching them will be holy.

bbe@Leviticus:6:19 @And the Lord said to Moses,

bbe@Leviticus:6:20 @This is the offering which Aaron and his sons are to make to the Lord on the day when he is made a priest: the tenth part of an ephah of the best meal for a meal offering for ever; half of it in the morning and half in the evening.

bbe@Leviticus:6:21 @Let it be made with oil on a flat plate; when it is well mixed and cooked, let it be broken and taken in as a meal offering, for a sweet smell to the Lord.

bbe@Leviticus:6:22 @And the same offering is to be given by that one of his sons who takes his place as priest; by an order for ever, all of it is to be burned before the Lord.

bbe@Leviticus:6:23 @Every meal offering offered for the priest is to be completely burned: nothing of it is to be taken for food.

bbe@Leviticus:6:24 @And the Lord said to Moses,

bbe@Leviticus:6:25 @Say to Aaron and his sons, This is the law for the sin-offering: the sin-offering is to be put to death before the Lord in the same place as the burned offering; it is most holy.

bbe@Leviticus:6:26 @The priest by whom it is offered for sin, is to take it for his food in a holy place, in the open space of the Tent of meeting.

bbe@Leviticus:6:27 @Anyone touching the flesh of it will be holy: and if any of the blood is dropped on any clothing, the thing on which the blood has been dropped is to be washed in a holy place.

bbe@Leviticus:6:28 @But the vessel of earth in which the flesh was cooked is to be broken; or if a brass vessel was used, it is to be rubbed clean and washed out with water.

bbe@Leviticus:6:29 @Every male among the priests may take it for his food: it is most holy.

bbe@Leviticus:6:30 @No sin-offering, the blood of which is taken into the Tent of meeting, to take away sin in the holy place, may be used for food: it is to be burned with fire.

bbe@Leviticus:7:1 @And this is the law of the offering for wrongdoing: it is most holy.

bbe@Leviticus:7:2 @They are to put to death the offering for wrongdoing in the same place as the burned offering; and the priest is to put the blood on and round the altar.

bbe@Leviticus:7:3 @And all the fat of it, the fat tail and the fat covering the inside parts, is to be given as an offering.

bbe@Leviticus:7:4 @And the two kidneys, and the fat on them, which is by the top of the legs, and the fat joining the liver and the kidneys, he is to take away:

bbe@Leviticus:7:5 @They are to be burned by the priest on the altar for an offering made by fire to the Lord: it is an offering for wrongdoing.

bbe@Leviticus:7:6 @Every male among the priests may have it as food in a holy place: it is most holy.

bbe@Leviticus:7:7 @As is the sin-offering, so is the offering for wrongdoing; there is one law for them: the priest who makes the offering to take away sin, he is to have it.

bbe@Leviticus:7:8 @And the priest offering any man's burned offering for him, may have the skin of the burned offering which is offered by him.

bbe@Leviticus:7:9 @And every meal offering which is cooked in the oven and everything made in a cooking pot or on a flat plate, is for the priest by whom it is offered.

bbe@Leviticus:7:10 @And every meal offering, mixed with oil or dry, is for all the sons of Aaron in equal measure.

bbe@Leviticus:7:11 @And this is the law for the peace-offerings offered to the Lord.

bbe@Leviticus:7:12 @If any man gives his offering as a praise-offering, then let him give with the offering, unleavened cakes mixed with oil and thin unleavened cakes covered with oil and cakes of the best meal well mixed with oil.

bbe@Leviticus:7:13 @With his peace-offering let him give cakes of leavened bread, as a praise-offering.

bbe@Leviticus:7:14 @And let him give one out of every offering to be lifted up before the Lord; that it may be for the priest who puts the blood of the peace-offering on the altar.

bbe@Leviticus:7:15 @And the flesh of the praise-offering is to be taken as food on the day when it is offered; no part of it may be kept till the morning.

bbe@Leviticus:7:16 @But if his offering is made because of an oath or given freely, it may be taken as food on the day when it is offered; and the rest may be used up on the day after:

bbe@Leviticus:7:17 @But if any of the flesh of the offering is still unused on the third day, it is to be burned with fire.

bbe@Leviticus:7:18 @And if any of the flesh of the peace-offering is taken as food on the third day, it will not be pleasing to God and will not be put to the account of him who gives it; it will be unclean and a cause of sin to him who takes it as food.

bbe@Leviticus:7:19 @And flesh touched by any unclean thing may not be taken for food: it is to be burned with fire; and as for the flesh of the peace-offerings, everyone who is clean may take it as food:

bbe@Leviticus:7:20 @But he who is unclean when he takes as food the flesh of the peace-offerings, which are the Lord's, will be cut off from his people.

bbe@Leviticus:7:21 @And anyone who, after touching any unclean thing of man or an unclean beast or any unclean and disgusting thing, takes as food the flesh of the peace-offerings, which are the Lord's, will be cut off from his people.

bbe@Leviticus:7:22 @And the Lord said to Moses,

bbe@Leviticus:7:23 @Say to the children of Israel: You are not to take any fat, of ox or sheep or goat, for food.

bbe@Leviticus:7:24 @And the fat of that which comes to a natural death, and the fat of that which is attacked by beasts, may be used for other purposes, but not in any way for food.

bbe@Leviticus:7:25 @For anyone who takes as food the fat of any beast of which men make an offering by fire to the Lord, will be cut off from his people.

bbe@Leviticus:7:26 @And you are not to take for food any blood, of bird or of beast, in any of your houses.

bbe@Leviticus:7:27 @Whoever takes any blood for food will be cut off from his people.

bbe@Leviticus:7:28 @And the Lord said to Moses,

bbe@Leviticus:7:29 @Say to the children of Israel: He who makes a peace-offering to the Lord, is to give an offering to the Lord out of his peace-offering:

bbe@Leviticus:7:30 @He himself is to take to the Lord the offering made by fire, even the fat with the breast, so that the breast may be waved for a wave offering before the Lord.

bbe@Leviticus:7:31 @And the fat is to be burned by the priest on the altar, but the breast is for Aaron and his sons.

bbe@Leviticus:7:32 @And the right leg you are to give to the priest for an offering to be lifted up out of what is given for your peace-offerings.

bbe@Leviticus:7:33 @That man, among the sons of Aaron, by whom the blood of the peace-offering and the fat are offered, is to have the right leg for his part.

bbe@Leviticus:7:34 @For the breast which is waved and the right leg which is lifted up on high I have taken from the children of Israel, from their peace-offerings, and have given them to Aaron the priest and to his sons as their right for ever from the children of Israel.

bbe@Leviticus:7:35 @This is the holy part given to Aaron and to his sons, out of the offerings made to the Lord by fire, on the day when they were made priests before the Lord;

bbe@Leviticus:7:36 @Which the Lord said the children of Israel were to give them, on the day when he made them his priests. It is their right for ever from generation to generation.

bbe@Leviticus:7:37 @These are the laws for the burned offering, the meal offering, and the offering for wrongdoing; and for the making of priests, and for the giving of peace-offerings;

bbe@Leviticus:7:38 @As they were given by the Lord to Moses on Mount Sinai, on the day when the Lord gave orders to the children of Israel to make their offerings to the Lord, in the waste land of Sinai.

bbe@Leviticus:8:1 @And the Lord said to Moses,

bbe@Leviticus:8:2 @Take Aaron, and his sons with him, and the robes and the holy oil and the ox of the sin-offering and the two male sheep and the basket of unleavened bread;

bbe@Leviticus:8:3 @And let all the people come together at the door of the Tent of meeting.

bbe@Leviticus:8:4 @And Moses did as the Lord said, and all the people came together at the door of the Tent of meeting.

bbe@Leviticus:8:5 @And Moses said to the people, This is what the Lord has given orders to be done.

bbe@Leviticus:8:6 @Then Moses took Aaron and his sons; and after washing them with water,

bbe@Leviticus:8:7 @He put the coat on him, making it tight with its band, and then the robe, and over it the ephod, with its band of needlework to keep it in place.

bbe@Leviticus:8:8 @And he put the priest's bag on him, and in the bag he put the Urim and Thummim.

bbe@Leviticus:8:9 @And on his head he put the head-dress, and in front of the head-dress the plate of gold, the holy crown, as the Lord gave orders to Moses.

bbe@Leviticus:8:10 @And Moses took the holy oil and put it on the House and on all the things in it, to make them holy.

bbe@Leviticus:8:11 @Seven times he put oil on the altar and on all its vessels, and on the washing-basin and its base, to make them holy.

bbe@Leviticus:8:12 @And some of the oil he put on Aaron's head, to make him holy.

bbe@Leviticus:8:13 @Then he took Aaron's sons, clothing them with the coats, and putting the bands round them, and the head-dresses on their heads, as the Lord had given him orders.

bbe@Leviticus:8:14 @And he took the ox of the sin-offering: and Aaron and his sons put their hands on the head of the ox,

bbe@Leviticus:8:15 @And he put it to death; and Moses took the blood and put it on the horns of the altar and round it with his finger, and made the altar clean, draining out the blood at the base of the altar; so he made it holy, taking away what was unclean.

bbe@Leviticus:8:16 @And he took all the fat on the inside parts, and the fat on the liver, and the two kidneys with their fat, to be burned on the altar;

bbe@Leviticus:8:17 @But the ox, with its skin and its flesh and its waste, was burned with fire outside the tent-circle, as the Lord gave orders to Moses.

bbe@Leviticus:8:18 @And he put the male sheep of the burned offering before the Lord, and Aaron and his sons put their hands on its head,

bbe@Leviticus:8:19 @And he put it to death; and Moses put some of the blood on and round the altar.

bbe@Leviticus:8:20 @And when the sheep had been cut into parts, the head and the parts and the fat were burned by Moses.

bbe@Leviticus:8:21 @And the inside parts and the legs were washed with water and all the sheep was burned by Moses on the altar; it was a burned offering for a sweet smell: it was an offering made by fire to the Lord, as the Lord gave orders to Moses.

bbe@Leviticus:8:22 @And he put the other sheep before the Lord, the sheep with which they were made priests; and Aaron and his sons put their hands on the head of the sheep,

bbe@Leviticus:8:23 @And he put it to death; and Moses took some of the blood and put it on the point of Aaron's right ear and on the thumb of his right hand and on the great toe of his right foot.

bbe@Leviticus:8:24 @Then he took Aaron's sons, and Moses put some of the blood on the point of their right ears and on the thumbs of their right hands and on the great toes of their right feet: and Moses put the blood on and round the altar.

bbe@Leviticus:8:25 @And he took the fat, and the fat tail, and the fat on the inside parts, and the fat on the liver, and the two kidneys with their fat, and the right leg;

bbe@Leviticus:8:26 @And out of the basket of unleavened bread which was before the Lord he took one unleavened cake, and one cake of bread with oil on it, and one thin cake, and put them on the fat and on the right leg:

bbe@Leviticus:8:27 @And he put them all on the hands of Aaron and on the hands of his sons, waving them for a wave offering before the Lord.

bbe@Leviticus:8:28 @And Moses took them from their hands, and they were burned on the altar on the burned offering, as a priest's offering for a sweet smell, an offering made by fire to the Lord.

bbe@Leviticus:8:29 @And Moses took the breast, waving it for a wave offering before the Lord; it was Moses' part of the sheep of the priest's offering, as the Lord gave orders to Moses.

bbe@Leviticus:8:30 @And Moses took some of the holy oil and of the blood which was on the altar and put it on Aaron and on his robes, and on his sons and on his sons' robes; and made Aaron holy, and his robes and his sons and his sons' robes with him.

bbe@Leviticus:8:31 @And Moses said to Aaron and to his sons, The flesh is to be cooked in water at the door of the Tent of meeting, and there you are to take it as food, together with the bread in the basket, as I have given orders, saying, It is the food of Aaron and his sons.

bbe@Leviticus:8:32 @And that which is over of the flesh and of the bread is to be burned with fire.

bbe@Leviticus:8:33 @And you are not to go out from the door of the Tent of meeting for seven days, till the days for making you priest are ended; for this will be the work of seven days.

bbe@Leviticus:8:34 @What has been done this day, has been ordered by the Lord to take away your sin.

bbe@Leviticus:8:35 @And you are to keep watch for the Lord at the door of the Tent of meeting day and night for seven days, so that death may not come to you: for so he has given me orders.

bbe@Leviticus:8:36 @And Aaron and his sons did all the things about which the Lord had given orders through Moses.

bbe@Leviticus:9:1 @And on the eighth day Moses sent for Aaron and his sons and the responsible men of Israel;

bbe@Leviticus:9:2 @And he said to Aaron, Take a young ox for a sin-offering and a male sheep for a burned offering, without a mark, and make an offering of them before the Lord.

bbe@Leviticus:9:3 @And say to the children of Israel: Take a he-goat for a sin-offering, and a young ox and a lamb, in their first year, without any mark on them, for a burned offering;

bbe@Leviticus:9:4 @And an ox and a male sheep for peace-offerings, to be put to death before the Lord; and a meal offering mixed with oil: for this day you are to see the Lord.

bbe@Leviticus:9:5 @And they took the things ordered by Moses, before the Tent of meeting, and all the people came near, waiting before the Lord.

bbe@Leviticus:9:6 @And Moses said, This is what the Lord has said you are to do; and you will see the glory of the Lord.

bbe@Leviticus:9:7 @And Moses said to Aaron, Come near to the altar and make your sin-offering and your burned offering to take away your sin and the sin of the people, and make the people's offering to take away their sin; as the Lord has given orders.

bbe@Leviticus:9:8 @So Aaron came near to the altar and put to death the ox for the sin-offering for himself;

bbe@Leviticus:9:9 @And the sons of Aaron gave him the blood and he put his finger in the blood and put it on the horns of the altar, draining out the blood at the base of the altar;

bbe@Leviticus:9:10 @But the fat and the kidneys and the fat on the liver of the sin-offering were burned by him on the altar as the Lord gave orders to Moses.

bbe@Leviticus:9:11 @And the flesh and the skin were burned with fire outside the tent-circle;

bbe@Leviticus:9:12 @And he put to death the burned offering; and Aaron's sons gave him the blood and he put some of it on and round the altar;

bbe@Leviticus:9:13 @And they gave him the parts of the burned offering, in their order, and the head, to be burned on the altar.

bbe@Leviticus:9:14 @And the inside parts and the legs, when they had been washed with water, were burned on the burned offering on the altar.

bbe@Leviticus:9:15 @And he made an offering for the people and took the goat of the sin-offering for the people and put it to death, offering it for sin, in the same way as the first.

bbe@Leviticus:9:16 @And he took the burned offering, offering it in the ordered way;

bbe@Leviticus:9:17 @And he put the meal offering before the Lord, and taking some of it in his hand he had it burned on the altar, separately from the burned offering of the morning.

bbe@Leviticus:9:18 @And he put to death the ox and the sheep, which were the peace-offerings for the people; and Aaron's sons gave him the blood and he put some of it on and round the altar;

bbe@Leviticus:9:19 @And as for the fat of the ox and the fat tail of the sheep and the fat covering the inside parts and the kidneys and the fat on the liver;

bbe@Leviticus:9:20 @They put the fat on the breasts, and the fat was burned on the altar

bbe@Leviticus:9:21 @And Aaron took the breasts and the right leg, waving them for a wave offering before the Lord, as Moses gave orders.

bbe@Leviticus:9:22 @And Aaron, lifting up his hands to the people, gave them a blessing; and he came down from offering the sin-offering, and the burned offering, and the peace-offerings.

bbe@Leviticus:9:23 @And Moses and Aaron went into the Tent of meeting, and came out and gave the people a blessing, and the glory of the Lord was seen by all the people.

bbe@Leviticus:9:24 @And fire came out from before the Lord, burning up the offering on the altar and the fat: and when all the people saw it, they gave a loud cry, falling down on their faces.

bbe@Leviticus:10:1 @And Nadab and Abihu, the sons of Aaron, took their vessels and put fire in them and perfume, burning strange fire before the Lord, which he had not given them orders to do.

bbe@Leviticus:10:2 @And fire came out from before the Lord, burning them up and causing their destruction before the Lord.

bbe@Leviticus:10:3 @Then Moses said to Aaron, This is what the Lord said, I will be holy in the eyes of all those who come near to me, and I will be honoured before all the people. And Aaron said nothing.

bbe@Leviticus:10:4 @And Moses sent for Mishael and Elzaphan, the sons of Uzziel, the brother of Aaron's father, and said to them, Come near and take your brothers away from before the holy place, outside the tent-circle.

bbe@Leviticus:10:5 @So they came and took them, in their coats, outside the tent-circle, as Moses had said.

bbe@Leviticus:10:6 @And Moses said to Aaron and to Eleazar and Ithamar, his sons, Do not let your hair be loose, and give no signs of grief; so that death may not overtake you, and his wrath come on all the people; but let there be weeping among your brothers and all the house of Israel for this burning of the Lord's fire.

bbe@Leviticus:10:7 @And do not go out from the door of the Tent of meeting, or death will come to you; for the holy oil of the Lord is on you. And they did as Moses said.

bbe@Leviticus:10:8 @And the Lord said to Aaron:

bbe@Leviticus:10:9 @Take no wine, or strong drink, you or your sons with you, when you go into the Tent of meeting, that it may not be the cause of death to you; this is an order for ever through all your generations

bbe@Leviticus:10:10 @And make a division between the holy and the common, and between the unclean and the clean;

bbe@Leviticus:10:11 @Teaching the children of Israel all the laws which the Lord has given them by the hand of Moses.

bbe@Leviticus:10:12 @And Moses said to Aaron and to Eleazar and Ithamar, his sons who were still living, Take the rest of the meal offering from the offerings of the Lord made by fire, and take it for your food, without leaven, at the side of the altar, for it is most holy.

bbe@Leviticus:10:13 @It is to be for your food in a holy place, because it is your right and your sons' right, from the offerings of the Lord made by fire: for so am I ordered.

bbe@Leviticus:10:14 @And the breast which is waved and the leg which is lifted up on high, you are to take as your food in a clean place; you and your sons and your daughters with you: for they are given to you as your right and your sons' right, from the peace-offerings of the children of Israel.

bbe@Leviticus:10:15 @Let them take the breast which is waved and the leg which is lifted up on high, with the fat of the burned offering, to be waved for a wave offering before the Lord; and this will be for you and for your sons with you, for a right for ever, as the Lord has given orders.

bbe@Leviticus:10:16 @And Moses was looking for the goat of the sin-offering, but it was burned; and he was angry with Eleazar and Ithamar, the sons of Aaron, who were still living, saying,

bbe@Leviticus:10:17 @Why did you not make a meal of the sin-offering in the holy place? For it is most holy and he has given it to you, so that the sin of the people may be put on it, to take away their sin before the Lord.

bbe@Leviticus:10:18 @See, its blood was not taken into the holy place: certainly it was right for you to have taken it as food in the holy place, as I gave orders.

bbe@Leviticus:10:19 @And Aaron said to Moses, You have seen that today they have made their sin-offering and their burned offering before the Lord, and such things as these have come on me. If I had taken the sin-offering as food today, would it have been pleasing to the Lord?

bbe@Leviticus:10:20 @And after hearing this, Moses was no longer angry.

bbe@Leviticus:11:1 @And the Lord said to Moses and Aaron,

bbe@Leviticus:11:2 @Say to the children of Israel: These are the living things which you may have for food among all the beasts on the earth.

bbe@Leviticus:11:3 @You may have as food any beast which has a division in the horn of its foot, and whose food comes back into its mouth to be crushed again.

bbe@Leviticus:11:4 @But, at the same time, of those beasts, you may not take for food the camel, because its food comes back but the horn of its foot is not parted in two; it is unclean to you.

bbe@Leviticus:11:5 @And the rock-badger, for the same reason, is unclean to you.

bbe@Leviticus:11:6 @And the hare, because the horn of its foot is not parted in two, is unclean to you.

bbe@Leviticus:11:7 @And the pig is unclean to you, because though the horn of its foot is parted, its food does not come back.

bbe@Leviticus:11:8 @Their flesh may not be used for food, and their dead bodies may not even be touched; they are unclean to you.

bbe@Leviticus:11:9 @These you may have for food of all things living in the water: anything living in the water, in the seas or rivers, which has special parts for swimming and skin formed of thin plates, may be used for food.

bbe@Leviticus:11:10 @All other things living and moving in the water, in the sea or in the rivers, are a disgusting thing to you;

bbe@Leviticus:11:11 @They may not be used for food, and their dead bodies are disgusting to you

bbe@Leviticus:11:12 @Anything in the water which has no special parts for swimming and no thin plates on its skin is disgusting to you.

bbe@Leviticus:11:13 @And among birds these are to be disgusting to you, and not to be used for food: the eagle and the gier-eagle and the ospray;

bbe@Leviticus:11:14 @And the kite and the falcon, and birds of that sort;

bbe@Leviticus:11:15 @Every raven, and birds of that sort;

bbe@Leviticus:11:16 @And the ostrich and the night-hawk and the sea-hawk, and birds of that sort;

bbe@Leviticus:11:17 @And the little owl and the cormorant and the great owl;

bbe@Leviticus:11:18 @And the water-hen and the pelican and the vulture;

bbe@Leviticus:11:19 @The stork and the heron, and birds of that sort, and the hoopoe and the bat.

bbe@Leviticus:11:20 @Every winged four-footed thing which goes on the earth is disgusting to you;

bbe@Leviticus:11:21 @But of the winged four-footed things, those which have long legs for jumping on the earth you may have for food;

bbe@Leviticus:11:22 @Such as all the different sorts of locust.

bbe@Leviticus:11:23 @But all other winged four-footed things which go on the earth are disgusting to you.

bbe@Leviticus:11:24 @By these you will be made unclean; anyone touching their dead bodies will be unclean till evening:

bbe@Leviticus:11:25 @Whoever takes away the dead body of one of them is to have his clothing washed, and will be unclean till evening.

bbe@Leviticus:11:26 @Every beast, in the horn of whose foot there is not a complete division, and whose food does not come back, is unclean to you: anyone touching one of these will be unclean.

bbe@Leviticus:11:27 @Any four-footed beast which goes on the ball of its foot, is unclean to you: anyone touching the dead body of one of these will be unclean till evening.

bbe@Leviticus:11:28 @Anyone who takes away the dead body of one of these is to have his clothing washed and be unclean till evening.

bbe@Leviticus:11:29 @And these are unclean to you among things which go low down on the earth; the weasel and the mouse and the great lizard, and animals of that sort;

bbe@Leviticus:11:30 @And the ferret and the land crocodile and the lizard and the sand-lizard and the chameleon.

bbe@Leviticus:11:31 @All these are unclean to you: anyone touching them when they are dead will be unclean till evening.

bbe@Leviticus:11:32 @The dead body of any of these, falling on anything, will make that thing unclean; if it is any vessel of wood, or clothing, or skin, or bag, whatever it is, if it is used for any purpose, it will have to be put into water, and will be unclean till evening; after that it will be clean.

bbe@Leviticus:11:33 @And if one of them gets into any vessel of earth, whatever is in the vessel will be unclean and the vessel will have to be broken.

bbe@Leviticus:11:34 @Any food in it, and anything on which water from it comes, will be unclean: any drink taken from such a vessel will be unclean.

bbe@Leviticus:11:35 @Any part of the dead body of one of these, falling on anything, will make it unclean; if it is an oven or a cooking-pot it will have to be broken: they are unclean and will be unclean to you.

bbe@Leviticus:11:36 @But at the same time a fountain or a place where water is stored for use will be clean; but anyone touching their dead bodies will be unclean.

bbe@Leviticus:11:37 @If any part of the dead body of one of these gets on to any seed for planting, it is clean;

bbe@Leviticus:11:38 @But if water is put on the seed, and any part of the dead body gets on to it, it will be unclean to you.

bbe@Leviticus:11:39 @And if any beast which may be used for food comes to a natural death, anyone touching its dead body will be unclean till evening.

bbe@Leviticus:11:40 @And he who makes use of any part of its body for food is to have his clothing washed and be unclean till evening; and anyone taking away its body is to have his clothing washed and be unclean till evening.

bbe@Leviticus:11:41 @Everything which goes flat on its body on the earth is disgusting, and is not to be used for food.

bbe@Leviticus:11:42 @Whatever goes on its stomach or on four feet or has a great number of feet, even all those going flat on the earth, may not be used for food, for they are disgusting.

bbe@Leviticus:11:43 @You are not to make yourselves disgusting with anything which goes about flat on the earth; you may not make yourselves unclean with them, in such a way that you are not holy to me.

bbe@Leviticus:11:44 @For I am the Lord your God: for this reason, make and keep yourselves holy, for I am holy; you are not to make yourselves unclean with any sort of thing which goes about flat on the earth.

bbe@Leviticus:11:45 @For I am the Lord, who took you out of the land of Egypt, to be your God; so be you holy, for I am holy.

bbe@Leviticus:11:46 @This is the law about beasts and birds and every living thing moving in the waters, and every living thing which goes flat on the earth:

bbe@Leviticus:11:47 @Marking out the unclean from the clean, and the living thing which may be used for food from that which may not.

bbe@Leviticus:12:1 @And the Lord said to Moses,

bbe@Leviticus:12:2 @Say to the children of Israel, If a woman is with child and gives birth to a male child, she will be unclean for seven days, as when she is unwell.

bbe@Leviticus:12:3 @And on the eighth day let him be given circumcision.

bbe@Leviticus:12:4 @And she will be unclean for thirty-three days till the flow of her blood is stopped; no holy thing may be touched by her, and she may not come into the holy place, till the days for making her clean are ended.

bbe@Leviticus:12:5 @But if she gives birth to a female child, then she will be unclean for two weeks, as when she is unwell; and she will not be completely clean for sixty-six days.

bbe@Leviticus:12:6 @And when the days are ended for making her clean for a son or a daughter, let her take to the priest at the door of the Tent of meeting, a lamb of the first year for a burned offering and a young pigeon or a dove for a sin-offering:

bbe@Leviticus:12:7 @And the priest is to make an offering of it before the Lord and take away her sin, and she will be made clean from the flow of her blood. This is the law for a woman who gives birth to a male or a female.

bbe@Leviticus:12:8 @And if she has not money enough for a lamb, then let her take two doves or two young pigeons, one for a burned offering and the other for a sin-offering, and the priest will take away her sin and she will be clean,

bbe@Leviticus:13:1 @And the Lord said to Moses and Aaron,

bbe@Leviticus:13:2 @If a man has on his skin a growth or a mark or a white place, and it becomes the disease of a leper, let him be taken to Aaron the priest, or to one of the priests, his sons;

bbe@Leviticus:13:3 @And if, when the priest sees the mark on his skin, the hair on the place is turned white and the mark seems to go deeper than the skin, it is the mark of a leper: and the priest, after looking at him, will say that he is unclean.

bbe@Leviticus:13:4 @But if the mark on his skin is white, and does not seem to go deeper than the skin, and the hair on it is not turned white, then the priest will keep him shut up for seven days;

bbe@Leviticus:13:5 @And the priest is to see him on the seventh day; and if, in his opinion, the place on his skin has not become worse and is not increased in size, then the priest will keep him shut up for seven days more:

bbe@Leviticus:13:6 @And the priest is to see him again on the seventh day; and if the mark is less bright and is not increased on his skin, then let the priest say that he is clean: it is only a skin-mark, and after his clothing has been washed he will be clean.

bbe@Leviticus:13:7 @But if the size of the mark on his skin is increased after he has been seen by the priest, let him go to the priest again:

bbe@Leviticus:13:8 @And if, after looking at him, he sees that the mark is increased in his skin, let the priest say that he is unclean; he is a leper.

bbe@Leviticus:13:9 @When the disease of a leper is seen on a man, let him be taken to the priest;

bbe@Leviticus:13:10 @And if the priest sees that there is a white growth on the skin, and the hair is turned white, and there is diseased flesh in the growth,

bbe@Leviticus:13:11 @It is an old disease in the skin of his flesh, and the priest will say that he is unclean; he will not have to be shut up, for he is clearly unclean.

bbe@Leviticus:13:12 @And if the disease comes out all over his skin, from his head to his feet, as far as the priest is able to see,

bbe@Leviticus:13:13 @And if the priest sees that all his flesh is covered with the leper's disease, the priest will say that he is clean: it is all turned white, he is clean.

bbe@Leviticus:13:14 @But whenever diseased flesh is seen on him, he will be unclean.

bbe@Leviticus:13:15 @And when the priest sees the diseased flesh he will say that he is unclean; the diseased flesh is unclean, he is a leper

bbe@Leviticus:13:16 @Or if the diseased flesh is turned again and changed to white then he is to come to the priest,

bbe@Leviticus:13:17 @And the priest will see him: and if the place is turned white, then the priest will say that he is free from the disease.

bbe@Leviticus:13:18 @And if a bad place has come out on the skin and is well again,

bbe@Leviticus:13:19 @And on the same place there is a white growth of a bright mark, red and white, then let the priest see it;

bbe@Leviticus:13:20 @And after looking at it, if it seems to go deeper than the skin, and the hair on it is turned white, then the priest will say that the man is unclean: it is the leper's disease, it has come out in the bad place.

bbe@Leviticus:13:21 @But if, after looking at it, he sees that there are no white hairs on it, and it is not deeper than the skin, and it is not very bright, then let the priest keep him shut up for seven days:

bbe@Leviticus:13:22 @And if it is increasing on the skin, the priest will say that he is unclean: it is a disease.

bbe@Leviticus:13:23 @But if the bright mark keeps in the same place and gets no greater, it is the mark of the old wound, and the priest will say that he is clean.

bbe@Leviticus:13:24 @Or if there is a burn on the skin of the flesh, and if the diseased flesh in the burn becomes a bright place, red and white or white,

bbe@Leviticus:13:25 @The priest is to see it: and if the hair on the bright place is turned white and it seems to go deeper than the skin, he is a leper: it has come out in the burn, and the priest will say that he is unclean: it is the leper's disease.

bbe@Leviticus:13:26 @But if, after looking at it, the priest sees that there is no white hair on the bright place, and it is not deeper than the skin, and is not very bright, then let the priest keep him shut up for seven days:

bbe@Leviticus:13:27 @And the priest is to see him again on the seventh day; if it is increased in the skin, then the priest will say that he is unclean: it is the leper's disease.

bbe@Leviticus:13:28 @And if the bright place keeps the same size and gets no greater on the skin, but is less bright, it is the effect of the burn, and the priest will say that he is clean: it is the mark of the burn.

bbe@Leviticus:13:29 @And when a man or a woman has a disease on the head, or in the hair of the chin,

bbe@Leviticus:13:30 @Then the priest is to see the diseased place: and if it seems to go deeper than the skin, and if there is thin yellow hair in it, then the priest will say that he is unclean: he has the mark of the leper's disease on his head or in the hair of his chin.

bbe@Leviticus:13:31 @And after looking at the diseased place, if it does not seem to go deeper than the skin, and there is no black hair in it, then the priest will have him shut up for seven days:

bbe@Leviticus:13:32 @And on the seventh day the priest will see the place: and if it is not increased, and there is no yellow hair in it, and it does not seem to go deeper than the skin,

bbe@Leviticus:13:33 @Then his hair is to be cut off, but not on the diseased place, and he is to be shut up for seven days more:

bbe@Leviticus:13:34 @And on the seventh day the priest will see the place: and if it is not increased, and does not seem to go deeper than the skin, the priest will say that he is clean: and after his clothing has been washed he will be clean.

bbe@Leviticus:13:35 @But if the disease in his skin becomes worse after he has been made clean,

bbe@Leviticus:13:36 @Then the priest is to see him: and if the mark is increased, the priest, without looking for the yellow hair, will say that he is unclean.

bbe@Leviticus:13:37 @But if, in his opinion, the growth is stopped, and black hair has come up on it, the disease has gone; he is clean and the priest will say that he is clean.

bbe@Leviticus:13:38 @And if a man or a woman has bright marks on the skin of their flesh, that is, bright white marks,

bbe@Leviticus:13:39 @Then the priest is to see them: and if the white marks on their skin are not very bright, it is a skin disease which has come out on the skin; he is clean.

bbe@Leviticus:13:40 @And if a man's hair has come out and he has no hair, still he is clean.

bbe@Leviticus:13:41 @And if the hair has gone from the front part of his head, so that he has no hair there, still he is clean.

bbe@Leviticus:13:42 @But if, on his head or on his brow, where he has no hair, there is a red and white place, it is the disease of the leper coming out on his head or on his brow.

bbe@Leviticus:13:43 @Then if the priest sees that the growth of the disease has become red and white on his head or on his brow where there is no hair, like the mark in the skin of a leper;

bbe@Leviticus:13:44 @He is a leper and unclean; the priest is to say that he is most certainly unclean: the disease is in his head.

bbe@Leviticus:13:45 @And the leper who has the disease on him is to go about with signs of grief, with his hair loose and his mouth covered, crying, Unclean, unclean.

bbe@Leviticus:13:46 @While the disease is on him, he will be unclean. He is unclean: let him keep by himself, living outside the tent-circle.

bbe@Leviticus:13:47 @And any clothing of wool or of linen in which is the mark of the disease;

bbe@Leviticus:13:48 @If it is in the threads of the linen or of the wool, or in leather, or in anything made of skin;

bbe@Leviticus:13:49 @If there are red or green marks on the clothing, or on the leather, or in the threads of the cloth, or in anything made of skin, it is the leper's disease: let the priest see it.

bbe@Leviticus:13:50 @And after it has been seen by the priest, the thing which is so marked is to be shut up for seven days:

bbe@Leviticus:13:51 @And he is to see the mark on the seventh day; if the mark is increased in the clothing, or in the threads of the material, or in the leather, whatever the leather is used for, it is the disease biting into it: it is unclean.

bbe@Leviticus:13:52 @And the clothing, or the wool or linen material, or anything of leather in which is the disease, is to be burned: for the disease is biting into it; let it be burned in the fire.

bbe@Leviticus:13:53 @And if the priest sees that the mark is not increased in the clothing or in any part of the material or in the leather,

bbe@Leviticus:13:54 @Then the priest will give orders for the thing on which the mark is, to be washed, and to be shut up for seven days more:

bbe@Leviticus:13:55 @And if, after the mark has been washed, the priest sees that the colour of it is not changed and it is not increased, it is to be burned in the fire: the disease is working in it, though the damage may be inside or outside.

bbe@Leviticus:13:56 @And if the priest sees that the mark is less bright after the washing, then let him have it cut out of the clothing or the leather or from the threads of the material:

bbe@Leviticus:13:57 @And if the mark is still seen in the clothing or in the threads of the material or in the leather, it is the disease coming out: the thing in which the disease is will have to be burned with fire.

bbe@Leviticus:13:58 @And the material of the clothing, or anything of skin, which has been washed, if the mark has gone out of it, let it be washed a second time and it will be clean.

bbe@Leviticus:13:59 @This is the law about the leper's disease in the thread of wool or linen material, in clothing or in anything of skin, saying how it is to be judged clean or unclean.

bbe@Leviticus:14:1 @And the Lord said to Moses,

bbe@Leviticus:14:2 @This is the law of the leper on the day when he is made clean: he is to be taken to the priest;

bbe@Leviticus:14:3 @And the priest is to go outside the tent-circle; and if, after looking, the priest sees that the mark of the disease has gone from him,

bbe@Leviticus:14:4 @Then the priest is to give orders to take, for him who is to be made clean, two living clean birds and some cedar wood and red thread and hyssop.

bbe@Leviticus:14:5 @And the priest will give orders for one of the birds to be put to death in a vessel made of earth, over flowing water.

bbe@Leviticus:14:6 @And he will take the living bird and the wood and the red thread and the hyssop and put them in the blood of the bird which was put to death over flowing water.

bbe@Leviticus:14:7 @And shaking it seven times over the man who is to be made clean, he will say that he is clean and will let the living bird go free into the open country.

bbe@Leviticus:14:8 @And he who is to be made clean will have his clothing washed and his hair cut and have a bath, and he will be clean. And after that he will come back to the tent-circle; but he is to keep outside his tent for seven days.

bbe@Leviticus:14:9 @And on the seventh day he is to have all the hair cut off his head and his chin and over his eyes--all his hair is to be cut off--and he will have his clothing washed and his body bathed in water and he will be clean.

bbe@Leviticus:14:10 @And on the eighth day let him take two male lambs, without any marks on them, and one female lamb of the first year, without a mark, and three tenth parts of an ephah of the best meal, mixed with oil, and one log of oil.

bbe@Leviticus:14:11 @And the priest who is making him clean will put the man who is being made clean, together with these things, before the door of the Tent of meeting.

bbe@Leviticus:14:12 @And the priest is to take one of the male lambs and give it as an offering for wrongdoing, and the log of oil, waving them for a wave offering before the Lord;

bbe@Leviticus:14:13 @And he is to put the male lamb to death in the place where they put to death the sin-offering and the burned offering, in the holy place; for as the sin-offering is the property of the priest, so is the offering for wrongdoing: it is most holy.

bbe@Leviticus:14:14 @And let the priest take some of the blood of the offering for wrongdoing and put it on the point of the right ear of him who is to be made clean, and on the thumb of his right hand and on the great toe of his right foot;

bbe@Leviticus:14:15 @And take some of the oil and put it in the hollow of his left hand;

bbe@Leviticus:14:16 @And let the priest put his right finger in the oil which is in his left hand, shaking it out with his finger seven times before the Lord;

bbe@Leviticus:14:17 @And of the rest of the oil which is in his hand, the priest will put some on the point of the right ear of the man who is to be made clean, and on the thumb of his right hand and on the great toe of his right foot, over the blood of the offering for wrongdoing;

bbe@Leviticus:14:18 @And the rest of the oil in the priest's hand he will put on the head of him who is to be made clean; and so the priest will make him free from sin before the Lord.

bbe@Leviticus:14:19 @And the priest will give the sin-offering, and take away the sin of him who is to be made clean from his unclean condition; and after that he will put the burned offering to death.

bbe@Leviticus:14:20 @And the priest is to have the burned offering and the meal offering burned on the altar; and the priest will take away his sin and he will be clean.

bbe@Leviticus:14:21 @And if he is poor and not able to get so much, then he may take one male lamb as an offering for wrongdoing, to be waved to take away his sin, and one tenth part of an ephah of the best meal mixed with oil for a meal offering, and a log of oil;

bbe@Leviticus:14:22 @And two doves or two young pigeons, such as he is able to get; and one will be for a sin-offering and the other for a burned offering.

bbe@Leviticus:14:23 @And on the eighth day he will take them to the priest, to the door of the Tent of meeting before the Lord, so that he may be made clean.

bbe@Leviticus:14:24 @And the priest will take the lamb of the offering for wrongdoing and the oil, waving them for a wave offering before the Lord;

bbe@Leviticus:14:25 @And he will put to death the lamb of the offering for wrongdoing and the priest will take some of the blood of the offering for wrongdoing and put it on the point of the right ear of him who is to be made clean, and on the thumb of his right hand and on the great toe of his right foot;

bbe@Leviticus:14:26 @And the priest will put out some of the oil in the hollow of his left hand,

bbe@Leviticus:14:27 @Shaking out drops of oil with his right finger before the Lord seven times:

bbe@Leviticus:14:28 @And the priest will put some of the oil which is in his hand on the point of the ear of the man who is to be made clean and on the thumb of his right hand and on the great toe of his right foot, on the place where the blood of the offering for wrongdoing was put;

bbe@Leviticus:14:31 @And of these, he will give one for a sin-offering and one for a burned offering, with the meal offering; and the priest will take away the sin of him who is to be made clean before the Lord.

bbe@Leviticus:14:32 @This is the law for the man who has the disease of the leper on him, and who is not able to get that which is necessary for making himself clean.

bbe@Leviticus:14:34 @When you have come into the land of Canaan which I will give you for your heritage, if I put the leper's disease on a house in the land of your heritage,

bbe@Leviticus:14:35 @Then let the owner of the house come and say to the priest, It seems to me that there is a sort of leper's disease in the house.

bbe@Leviticus:14:36 @And the priest will give orders for everything to be taken out of the house, before he goes in to see the disease, so that the things in the house may not become unclean; and then the priest is to go in to see the house;

bbe@Leviticus:14:37 @And if he sees that the walls of the house are marked with hollows of green and red, and if it seems to go deeper than the face of the wall;

bbe@Leviticus:14:38 @Then the priest will go out of the door of the house, and keep the house shut up for seven days:

bbe@Leviticus:14:39 @And the priest is to come again on the seventh day and have a look and see if the marks on the walls of the house are increased in size;

bbe@Leviticus:14:40 @Then the priest will give orders to them to take out the stones in which the disease is seen, and put them out into an unclean place outside the town:

bbe@Leviticus:14:41 @And he will have the house rubbed all over inside, and the paste which is rubbed off will be put out into an unclean place outside the town:

bbe@Leviticus:14:42 @And they will take other stones and put them in place of those stones, and he will take other paste and put it on the walls of the house.

bbe@Leviticus:14:43 @And if the disease comes out again in the house after he has taken out the stones and after the walls have been rubbed and the new paste put on,

bbe@Leviticus:14:44 @Then the priest will come and see it; and if the disease in the house is increased in size, it is the leper's disease working out in the house: it is unclean.

bbe@Leviticus:14:45 @And the house will have to be pulled down, the stones of it and the wood and the paste; and everything is to be taken out to an unclean place outside the town.

bbe@Leviticus:14:46 @And, in addition, anyone who goes into the house at any time, while it is shut up, will be unclean till evening.

bbe@Leviticus:14:47 @And anyone who has been sleeping in the house will have to have his clothing washed; and anyone who takes food in that house will have to have his clothing washed.

bbe@Leviticus:14:48 @And if the priest comes in, and sees that the disease is not increased after the new paste has been put on the house, then the priest will say that the house is clean, because the disease is gone.

bbe@Leviticus:16:10 @But the goat for Azazel is to be placed living before the Lord, for the taking away of sin, that it may be sent away for Azazel into the waste land.

bbe@Leviticus:16:11 @And Aaron is to give the ox of the sin-offering for himself and take away sin from himself and his house, and put to death the ox of the sin-offering which is for himself.

bbe@Leviticus:16:12 @And he is to take a vessel full of burning coal from the altar before the Lord and in his hand some sweet perfume crushed small, and take it inside the veil;

bbe@Leviticus:16:13 @And let him put the perfume on the fire before the Lord so that the ark may be covered with a cloud of the smoke of the perfume, in order that death may not overtake him.

bbe@Leviticus:16:14 @And let him take some of the blood of the ox, shaking drops of it from his finger on the cover of the ark on the east side, and before it, seven times.

bbe@Leviticus:16:15 @Then let him put to death the goat of the sin-offering for the people, and take its blood inside the veil and do with it as he did with the blood of the ox, shaking drops of it on and before the cover of the ark.

bbe@Leviticus:16:16 @And let him make the holy place free from whatever is unclean among the children of Israel and from their wrongdoing in all their sins; and let him do the same for the Tent of meeting, which has its place among an unclean people.

bbe@Leviticus:16:17 @And no man may be in the Tent of meeting from the time when Aaron goes in to take away sin in the holy place till he comes out, having made himself and his house and all the people of Israel free from sin.

bbe@Leviticus:16:18 @And he is to go out to the altar which is before the Lord and make it free from sin; and he is to take some of the blood of the ox and the blood of the goat and put it on the horns of the altar and round it;

bbe@Leviticus:16:19 @Shaking drops of the blood from his finger on it seven times to make it holy and clean from whatever is unclean among the children of Israel.

bbe@Leviticus:16:20 @And when he has done whatever is necessary to make the holy place and the Tent of meeting and the altar free from sin, let him put the living goat before the Lord;

bbe@Leviticus:16:21 @And Aaron, placing his two hands on the head of the living goat, will make a public statement over him of all the evil doings of the children of Israel and all their wrongdoing, in all their sins; and he will put them on the head of the goat and send him away, in the care of a man who will be waiting there, into the waste land

bbe@Leviticus:16:22 @And the goat will take all their sins into a land cut off from men, and he will send the goat away into the waste land.

bbe@Leviticus:16:23 @Then let Aaron come into the Tent of meeting and take off the linen clothing which he put on when he went into the holy place, and put them down there;

bbe@Leviticus:16:24 @And after bathing his body in water in a holy place, he is to put on his clothing and come out and give his burned offering and the burned offering of the people, to take away his sin and the sin of the people.

bbe@Leviticus:16:25 @And the fat of the sin-offering is to be burned by him on the altar.

bbe@Leviticus:16:26 @And the man who takes away the goat for Azazel is to have his clothing washed and his body bathed in water and then he may come back to the tent-circle.

bbe@Leviticus:16:27 @And the ox of the sin-offering and the goat of the sin-offering, whose blood was taken in to make the holy place free from sin, are to be taken away outside the tent-circle and their skins and their flesh and their waste are to be burned with fire.

bbe@Leviticus:16:28 @And the man by whom they are burned is to have his clothing washed and his body bathed in water, and then he may come back to the tent-circle.

bbe@Leviticus:16:29 @And let this be an order to you for ever: in the seventh month, on the tenth day, you are to keep yourselves from pleasure and do no sort of work, those who are Israelites by birth and those from other lands who are living among you:

bbe@Leviticus:16:30 @For on this day your sin will be taken away and you will be clean: you will be made free from all your sins before the Lord.

bbe@Leviticus:16:31 @It is a special Sabbath for you, and you are to keep yourselves from pleasure; it is an order for ever.

bbe@Leviticus:16:32 @And the man on whose head the holy oil has been put, and who has been marked out to be a priest in his father's place, will do what is necessary to take away sin, and will put on the linen clothing, even the holy robes:

bbe@Leviticus:16:33 @And he will make the holy place and the Tent of meeting and the altar free from sin; he will take away sin from the priests and from all the people.

bbe@Leviticus:16:34 @And let this be an order for ever for you, so that the sin of the children of Israel may be taken away once every year. And he did as the Lord gave orders to Moses.

bbe@Leviticus:17:1 @And the Lord said to Moses,

bbe@Leviticus:17:2 @Say to Aaron and to his sons and to all the children of Israel: This is the order which the Lord has given.

bbe@Leviticus:17:3 @If any man of Israel puts to death an ox or a lamb or a goat, in or outside the tent-circle;

bbe@Leviticus:17:4 @And has not taken it to the door of the Tent of meeting, to make an offering to the Lord, before the Lord's House, its blood will be on him, for he has taken life, and he will be cut off from among his people:

bbe@Leviticus:17:5 @So that the children of Israel may take to the Lord, to the door of the Tent of meeting and to the priest, the offerings which they have put to death in the open country, and that they may make their peace-offerings to the Lord.

bbe@Leviticus:17:6 @And the priest will put blood on the altar of the Lord at the door of the Tent of meeting, burning the fat for a sweet smell to the Lord.

bbe@Leviticus:17:7 @And let them make no more offerings to evil spirits, after which they have gone, turning away from the Lord. Let this be a law to them for ever, through all their generations.

bbe@Leviticus:17:8 @And say to them, If any man of Israel, or any other living among them, makes a burned offering or other offering,

bbe@Leviticus:17:9 @And does not take it to the door of the Tent of meeting to make an offering to the Lord, that man will be cut off from among his people.

bbe@Leviticus:17:10 @And if any man of Israel, or any other living among them, takes any sort of blood for food, my wrath will be turned against that man and he will be cut off from among his people.

bbe@Leviticus:17:11 @For the life of the flesh is in its blood; and I have given it to you on the altar to take away your sin: for it is the blood which makes free from sin because of the life in it.

bbe@Leviticus:17:12 @For this reason I have said to the children of Israel, No man among you, or any others living with you, may take blood as food.

bbe@Leviticus:17:13 @And any man of Israel, or any other living among them, who gets with his bow any beast or bird used for food, is to see that its blood is covered with earth.

bbe@Leviticus:17:14 @For the blood is the life of all flesh: and so I have said to the children of Israel, You may not take any sort of blood as food, and any man who does so will be cut of.

bbe@Leviticus:17:15 @And anyone who takes as food anything which has come to a natural end, or anything which has been put to death by beasts, if he is one of you by birth, or of another nation, will have to have his clothing washed and his body bathed in water and be unclean till evening, and then he will be clean.

bbe@Leviticus:17:16 @But if his clothing is not washed and his body bathed, his sin will be on him.

bbe@Leviticus:18:1 @And the Lord said to Moses,

bbe@Leviticus:18:2 @Say to the children of Israel, I am the Lord your God.

bbe@Leviticus:18:3 @You may not do those things which were done in the land of Egypt where you were living; and you may not do those things which are done in the land of Canaan where I am taking you, or be guided in your behaviour by their rules.

bbe@Leviticus:18:4 @But you are to be guided by my decisions and keep my rules, and be guided by them: I am the Lord your God.

bbe@Leviticus:18:5 @So keep my rules and my decisions, which, if a man does them, will be life to him: I am the Lord.

bbe@Leviticus:18:6 @You may not have sex connection with anyone who is a near relation: I am the Lord.

bbe@Leviticus:18:7 @You may not have sex relations with your father or your mother: she is your mother, you may not take her.

bbe@Leviticus:18:8 @And you may not have sex relations with your father's wife: she is your father's.

bbe@Leviticus:18:9 @You may not take your sister, the daughter of your father or of your mother, wherever her birth took place, among you or in another country.

bbe@Leviticus:18:10 @You may not have sex relations with your son's daughter or your daughter's daughter, for they are part of yourself;

bbe@Leviticus:18:11 @Or your father's wife's daughter, the child of your father, for she is your sister.

bbe@Leviticus:18:12 @You may not have sex connection with your father's sister, for she is your father's near relation.

bbe@Leviticus:18:13 @You may not have sex connection with your mother's sister, for she is your mother's near relation.

bbe@Leviticus:18:14 @You may not have sex relations with the wife of your father's brother, for she is of your family;

bbe@Leviticus:18:15 @Or with your daughter-in-law, for she is your son's wife, and you may not take her.

bbe@Leviticus:18:16 @You may not have sex relations with your brother's wife, for she is your brother's.

bbe@Leviticus:18:17 @You may not take as wife a woman and her daughter, or her son's daughter or her daughter's daughter, for they are of one family: it is an act of shame.

bbe@Leviticus:18:18 @And you may not take as wife a woman and at the same time her sister, to be in competition with her in her life-time.

bbe@Leviticus:18:19 @And you may not go near a woman or have sex relations with her when she is unclean, at her regular time.

bbe@Leviticus:18:20 @And you may not have sex relations with your neighbour's wife, making yourself unclean with her.

bbe@Leviticus:18:21 @And you may not make any of your children go through the fire as an offering to Molech, and you may not put shame on the name of your God: I am the Lord.

bbe@Leviticus:18:22 @You may not have sex relations with men, as you do with women: it is a disgusting thing.

bbe@Leviticus:18:23 @And you may not have sex relations with a beast, making yourself unclean with it; and a woman may not give herself to a beast: it is an unnatural act.

bbe@Leviticus:18:24 @Do not make yourself unclean in any of these ways; for so have those nations whom I am driving out from before you made themselves unclean:

bbe@Leviticus:18:25 @And the land itself has become unclean; so that I have sent on it the reward of its wrongdoing, and the land itself puts out those who are living in it.

bbe@Leviticus:18:26 @So then keep my rules and my decisions, and do not do any of these disgusting things, those of you who are Israelites by birth, or any others who are living with you:

bbe@Leviticus:18:27 @(For all these disgusting things were done by the men of this country who were there before you, and the land has been made unclean by them;)

bbe@Leviticus:18:28 @So that the land may not put you out from it, when you make it unclean, as it put out the nations which were there before you.

bbe@Leviticus:18:29 @For all those who do any of these disgusting things will be cut off from among their people.

bbe@Leviticus:18:30 @So then, keep my orders, so that you may not do any of these disgusting things which were done before you, or make yourselves unclean through them: I am the Lord your God.

bbe@Leviticus:19:1 @And the Lord said to Moses,

bbe@Leviticus:19:2 @Say to all the people of Israel, You are to be holy, for I, the Lord your God, am holy.

bbe@Leviticus:19:3 @Let every man give honour to his mother and to his father and keep my Sabbaths: I am the Lord your God.

bbe@Leviticus:19:4 @Do not go after false gods, and do not make metal images of gods for yourselves: I am the Lord your God.

bbe@Leviticus:19:5 @And when you give a peace offering to the Lord, do it in the way which is pleasing to the Lord.

bbe@Leviticus:19:6 @Let it be used for food on the same day on which it is offered, or on the day after; and whatever is over on the third day is to be burned with fire.

bbe@Leviticus:19:7 @If any of it is used for food on the third day, it is a disgusting thing and will not be pleasing to the Lord.

bbe@Leviticus:19:8 @And as for anyone who takes it for food, his sin will be on him, for he has put shame on the holy thing of the Lord: he will be cut off from his people.

bbe@Leviticus:19:9 @And when you get in the grain from your land, do not let all the grain be cut from the edges of the field, or take up what has been dropped on the earth after the getting in of the grain.

bbe@Leviticus:19:10 @And do not take all the grapes from your vine-garden, or the fruit dropped on the earth; let the poor man, and the man from another country, have these: I am the Lord your God

bbe@Leviticus:19:11 @Do not take anyone's property or be false in act or word to another.

bbe@Leviticus:19:12 @And do not take an oath in my name falsely, putting shame on the name of your God: I am the Lord.

bbe@Leviticus:19:13 @Do not be cruel to your neighbour or take what is his; do not keep back a servant's payment from him all night till the morning.

bbe@Leviticus:19:14 @Do not put a curse on those who have no hearing, or put a cause of falling in the way of the blind, but keep the fear of your God before you: I am the Lord.

bbe@Leviticus:19:15 @Do no wrong in your judging: do not give thought to the position of the poor, or honour to the position of the great; but be a judge to your neighbour in righteousness.

bbe@Leviticus:19:16 @Do not go about saying untrue things among your people, or take away the life of your neighbour by false witness: I am the Lord.

bbe@Leviticus:19:17 @Let there be no hate in your heart for your brother; but you may make a protest to your neighbour, so that he may be stopped from doing evil.

bbe@Leviticus:19:18 @Do not make attempts to get equal with one who has done you wrong, or keep hard feelings against the children of your people, but have love for your neighbour as for yourself: I am the Lord.

bbe@Leviticus:19:19 @Keep my laws. Do not let your cattle have offspring by those of a different sort; do not put mixed seed into your field; do not put on a robe made of two sorts of cloth.

bbe@Leviticus:19:20 @If any man has sex relations with a servant-woman who has given her word to be married to a man, and has not been made free for a price or in any other way, the thing will be looked into; but they will not be put to death because she was not a free woman.

bbe@Leviticus:19:21 @Let him take his offering for wrongdoing to the Lord, to the door of the Tent of meeting; let him give a male sheep as an offering for wrongdoing.

bbe@Leviticus:19:22 @And the priest will take away his sin before the Lord with the sheep which is offered for his wrongdoing, and he will have forgiveness for the sin which he has done.

bbe@Leviticus:19:23 @And when you have come into the land, and have put in all sorts of fruit-trees, their fruit will be as if they had not had circumcision, and for three years their fruit may not be used for food.

bbe@Leviticus:19:24 @And in the fourth year all the fruit will be holy as a praise-offering to the Lord.

bbe@Leviticus:19:25 @But in the fifth year you may take the fruit and the increase of it for your food: I am the Lord your God.

bbe@Leviticus:19:26 @Nothing may be used for food with its blood in it; you may not make use of strange arts, or go in search of signs and wonders.

bbe@Leviticus:19:27 @The ends of the hair round your face and on your chin may not be cut off.

bbe@Leviticus:19:28 @You may not make cuts in your flesh in respect for the dead, or have marks printed on your bodies: I am the Lord.

bbe@Leviticus:19:29 @Do not make your daughter common by letting her become a loose woman, for fear that the land may become full of shame.

bbe@Leviticus:19:30 @Keep my Sabbaths and have respect for my holy place: I am the Lord.

bbe@Leviticus:19:31 @Do not go after those who make use of spirits, or wonder-workers; do not go in their ways or become unclean through them: I am the Lord your God.

bbe@Leviticus:19:32 @Get up from your seats before the white-haired, and give honour to the old, and let the fear of your God be before you: I am the Lord.

bbe@Leviticus:19:33 @And if a man from another country is living in your land with you, do not make life hard for him;

bbe@Leviticus:19:34 @Let him be to you as one of your countrymen and have love for him as for yourself; for you were living in a strange land, in the land of Egypt: I am the Lord your God.

bbe@Leviticus:19:35 @Do not make false decisions in questions of yard-sticks and weights and measures.

bbe@Leviticus:19:36 @Have true scales, true weights and measures for all things: I am the Lord your God, who took you out of the land of Egypt;

bbe@Leviticus:19:37 @You are to keep all my rules and my decisions and do them: I am the Lord.

bbe@Leviticus:20:1 @And the Lord said to Moses,

bbe@Leviticus:20:2 @Again, say to the children of Israel, If any man of the children of Israel, or any other man living in Israel, gives his offspring to Molech, he is certainly to be put to death: he is to be stoned by the people of the land;

bbe@Leviticus:20:3 @And my face will be turned against that man, and he will be cut off from his people; because he has given his offspring to Molech, making my holy place unclean, and making my holy name common.

bbe@Leviticus:20:4 @And if the people of the land do not take note of that man when he gives his offspring to Molech, and do not put him to death,

bbe@Leviticus:20:5 @Then my face will be turned against him and his family, and he and all those who do evil with him will be cut off from among their people.

bbe@Leviticus:20:6 @And whoever goes after those who make use of spirits and wonder-workers, doing evil with them, against him will my face be turned, and he will be cut off from among his people.

bbe@Leviticus:20:7 @So make and keep yourselves holy, for I am the Lord your God.

bbe@Leviticus:20:8 @And keep my rules and do them: I am the Lord, who make you holy.

bbe@Leviticus:20:9 @Every man cursing his father or his mother is certainly to be put to death; because of his curse on his father or his mother, his blood will be on him.

bbe@Leviticus:20:10 @And if a man has sex relations with another man's wife, even the wife of his neighbour, he and she are certainly to be put to death.

bbe@Leviticus:20:11 @And the man who has sex relations with his father's wife has put shame on his father: the two of them are to be put to death; their blood will be on them.

bbe@Leviticus:20:12 @And if a man has sex relations with his son's wife, the two of them are to be put to death: it is unnatural; their blood will be on them

bbe@Leviticus:20:13 @And if a man has sex relations with a man, the two of them have done a disgusting thing: let them be put to death; their blood will be on them.

bbe@Leviticus:20:14 @And if a man takes as wife a woman and her mother, it is an act of shame; let them be burned with fire, all three of them, so that there may be no shame among you.

bbe@Leviticus:20:15 @And if a man has sex relations with a beast, let him be put to death, and let the beast be put to destruction.

bbe@Leviticus:20:16 @And if a woman goes near a beast and has sex relations with it, you will put an end to the woman and the beast: their blood will be on them.

bbe@Leviticus:20:17 @And if a man takes his sister, daughter of his father or his mother, and has sex relations with her and she with him, it is an act of shame: they are to be cut off before the children of their people; he has had sex relations with his sister, and his sin will be on him.

bbe@Leviticus:20:18 @And if a man has sex relations with a woman at the time when she is unwell, he has seen her fountain and she has let the fountain of her blood be uncovered, and the two of them are to be cut off from among their people.

bbe@Leviticus:20:19 @And you may not have sex connection with your mother's sister or your father's sister, for they are his near relations: their sin will be on them.

bbe@Leviticus:20:20 @And if a man has sex relations with the wife of his father's brother, he has put shame on his father's brother: their sin will be on them; till the day of their death they will have no children.

bbe@Leviticus:20:21 @And if a man takes his brother's wife, it is an unclean act; he has put shame on his brother; they will have no children.

bbe@Leviticus:20:22 @So then, keep my rules and my decisions and do them, so that the land which I am giving you as your resting-place may not violently send you out again.

bbe@Leviticus:20:23 @And do not keep the rules of the nations which I am driving out before you; for they did all these things, and for that reason my soul was turned against them.

bbe@Leviticus:20:24 @But I have said to you, You will take their land and I will give it to you for your heritage, a land flowing with milk and honey: I am the Lord your God who have made you separate from all other peoples.

bbe@Leviticus:20:25 @So then, make division between the clean beast and the unclean, and between the clean bird and the unclean: do not make yourselves disgusting by any beast or bird or anything which goes flat on the earth, which has been marked by me as unclean for you.

bbe@Leviticus:20:26 @And you are to be holy to me; for I the Lord am holy and have made you separate from the nations, so that you may be my people.

bbe@Leviticus:20:27 @Any man or woman who makes use of spirits, or who is a wonder-worker, is to be put to death: they are to be stoned with stones: their blood will be on them.

bbe@Leviticus:21:1 @And the Lord said to Moses, Say to the priests, the sons of Aaron, Let no man make himself unclean for the dead among his people;

bbe@Leviticus:21:2 @But only for his near relations, for his mother or his father, his son or his daughter, and his brother;

bbe@Leviticus:21:3 @And for his sister, a virgin, for she is his near relation and has had no husband, he may make himself unclean.

bbe@Leviticus:21:4 @But let him, being a chief among his people, not make himself unclean in such a way as to put shame on himself.

bbe@Leviticus:21:5 @They are not to have their hair cut off for the dead, or the hair on their chins cut short, or make cuts in their flesh.

bbe@Leviticus:21:6 @Let them be holy to their God and not make the name of their God common; for the fire offerings of the Lord and the bread of their God are offered by them, and they are to be holy.

bbe@Leviticus:21:7 @They may not take as wife a loose or common woman, or one who has been put away by her husband: for the priest is holy to his God.

bbe@Leviticus:21:8 @And he is to be holy in your eyes, for by him the bread of your God is offered; he is to be holy in your eyes, for I the Lord, who make you holy, am holy.

bbe@Leviticus:21:9 @And if the daughter of a priest makes herself common and by her loose behaviour puts shame on her father, let her be burned with fire.

bbe@Leviticus:21:10 @And he who is the chief priest among his brothers, on whose head the holy oil has been put, who is marked out to put on the holy robes, may not let his hair go loose or have his clothing out of order as a sign of sorrow.

bbe@Leviticus:21:11 @He may not go near any dead body or make himself unclean for his father or his mother;

bbe@Leviticus:21:12 @He may not go out of the holy place or make the holy place of his God common; for the crown of the holy oil of his God is on him: I am the Lord.

bbe@Leviticus:21:13 @And let him take as his wife one who has not had relations with a man.

bbe@Leviticus:21:14 @A widow, or one whose husband has put her away, or a common woman of loose behaviour, may not be the wife of a priest; but let him take a virgin from among his people

bbe@Leviticus:21:15 @And he may not make his seed unclean among his people, for I the Lord have made him holy.

bbe@Leviticus:21:16 @And the Lord said to Moses,

bbe@Leviticus:21:17 @Say to Aaron, If a man of your family, in any generation, is damaged in body, let him not come near to make the offering of the bread of his God.

bbe@Leviticus:21:18 @For any man whose body is damaged may not come near: one who is blind, or has not the use of his legs, or one who has a broken nose or any unnatural growth,

bbe@Leviticus:21:19 @Or a man with broken feet or hands,

bbe@Leviticus:21:20 @Or one whose back is bent, or one who is unnaturally small, or one who has a damaged eye, or whose skin is diseased, or whose sex parts are damaged;

bbe@Leviticus:21:21 @No man of the offspring of Aaron whose body is damaged in any way may come near to give the fire offerings of the Lord: he is damaged, he may not come near to make the offerings.

bbe@Leviticus:21:22 @He may take of the bread of God, the holy and the most holy;

bbe@Leviticus:21:23 @But he may not go inside the veil or come near the altar, because he is damaged; and he may not make my holy places common; for I the Lord have made them holy.

bbe@Leviticus:21:24 @These are the words which Moses said to Aaron and to his sons and to all the children of Israel.

bbe@Leviticus:22:1 @And the Lord said to Moses,

bbe@Leviticus:22:2 @Give orders to Aaron and to his sons to keep themselves separate from the holy things of the children of Israel which they give to me, and not to make my holy name common: I am the Lord,

bbe@Leviticus:22:3 @Say to them, If any man of all your seed through all your generations, being unclean, comes near the holy things which the children of Israel make holy to the Lord, he will be cut off from before me: I am the Lord.

bbe@Leviticus:22:4 @No man of the seed of Aaron who is a leper, or who has a flow from his body, may take of the holy food till he is clean. And any man touching anything which is unclean because of the dead, or any man whose seed goes from him;

bbe@Leviticus:22:5 @Or anyone touching any unclean thing which goes flat on the earth, or someone by whom he may be made unclean in any way whatever;

bbe@Leviticus:22:6 @Any person touching any such unclean thing will be unclean till evening, and may not take of the holy food till his flesh has been bathed in water;

bbe@Leviticus:22:7 @And when the sun has gone down he will be clean; and after that he may take part in the holy food, because it is his bread.

bbe@Leviticus:22:8 @That which comes to a natural death, or is attacked by beasts, he may not take as food, for it will make him unclean: I am the Lord.

bbe@Leviticus:22:9 @So then, let them keep what I have put into their care, for fear that sin may come on them because of it, so causing their death because they have made it common: I am the Lord, who make them holy.

bbe@Leviticus:22:10 @No outside person may take of the holy food, or one living as a guest in the priest's house, or a servant working for payment.

bbe@Leviticus:22:11 @But any person for whom the priest has given money, to make him his, may take of it with him; and those who come to birth in his house may take of his bread.

bbe@Leviticus:22:12 @And if the daughter of a priest is married to an outside person she may not take of the holy things which are lifted up as offerings.

bbe@Leviticus:22:13 @But if a priest's daughter is a widow, or parted from her husband, and has no child, and has come back to her father's house as when she was a girl, she may take of her father's bread; but no outside person may do so.

bbe@Leviticus:22:14 @And if a man takes the holy food in error, he will have to give the holy thing back to the priest, with the addition of a fifth part.

bbe@Leviticus:22:15 @And they may not make common the holy things which the children of Israel give to the Lord,

bbe@Leviticus:22:16 @So causing sin to come on them when they take their holy things for food: I am the Lord who make them holy

bbe@Leviticus:22:17 @And the Lord said to Moses,

bbe@Leviticus:22:18 @Say to Aaron and to his sons and to all the children of Israel, If any man of the children of Israel, or of another nation living in Israel, makes an offering, given because of an oath or freely given to the Lord for a burned offering;

bbe@Leviticus:22:19 @So that it may be pleasing to the Lord, let him give a male, without any mark, from among the oxen or the sheep or the goats.

bbe@Leviticus:22:20 @But anything which has a mark you may not give; it will not make you pleasing to the Lord.

bbe@Leviticus:22:21 @And whoever makes a peace-offering to the Lord, in payment of an oath or as a free offering, from the herd or the flock, if it is to be pleasing to the Lord, let it be free from any mark or damage.

bbe@Leviticus:22:22 @Anything blind or broken or damaged or having any disease or any mark on it may not be offered to the Lord; you may not make an offering of it by fire on the altar to the Lord.

bbe@Leviticus:22:23 @An ox or a lamb which has more or less than its natural parts, may be given as a free offering; but it will not be taken in payment of an oath.

bbe@Leviticus:22:24 @An animal which has its sex parts damaged or crushed or broken or cut, may not be offered to the Lord; such a thing may not be done anywhere in your land.

bbe@Leviticus:22:25 @And from one who is not an Israelite you may not take any of these for an offering to the Lord; for they are unclean, there is a mark on them, and the Lord will not be pleased with them.

bbe@Leviticus:22:26 @And the Lord said to Moses,

bbe@Leviticus:22:27 @When an ox or a sheep or a goat is given birth, let it be with its mother for seven days; and after the eighth day it may be taken as an offering made by fire to the Lord.

bbe@Leviticus:22:28 @A cow or a sheep may not be put to death with its young on the same day.

bbe@Leviticus:22:29 @And when you make an offering of praise to the Lord, make it in a way which is pleasing to him.

bbe@Leviticus:22:30 @Let it be used for food on the same day; do not keep any part of it till the morning: I am the Lord.

bbe@Leviticus:22:31 @So then, keep my orders and do them: I am the Lord.

bbe@Leviticus:22:32 @And do not make my holy name common; so that it may be kept holy by the children of Israel: I am the Lord who make you holy,

bbe@Leviticus:22:33 @Who took you out of the land of Egypt that I might be your God: I am the Lord.

bbe@Leviticus:23:1 @And the Lord said to Moses,

bbe@Leviticus:23:2 @Say to the children of Israel, These are the fixed feasts of the Lord, which you will keep for holy meetings: these are my feasts.

bbe@Leviticus:23:3 @On six days work may be done; but the seventh day is a special day of rest, a time for worship; you may do no sort of work: it is a Sabbath to the Lord wherever you may be living.

bbe@Leviticus:23:4 @These are the fixed feasts of the Lord, the holy days of worship which you will keep at their regular times.

bbe@Leviticus:23:5 @In the first month, on the fourteenth day of the month at nightfall, is the Lord's Passover;

bbe@Leviticus:23:6 @And on the fifteenth day of the same month is the feast of unleavened bread; for seven days let your food be unleavened bread.

bbe@Leviticus:23:7 @On the first day you will have a holy meeting; you may do no sort of field-work.

bbe@Leviticus:23:8 @And every day for seven days you will give a burned offering to the Lord; and on the seventh day there will be a holy meeting; you may do no field-work.

bbe@Leviticus:23:9 @And the Lord said to Moses,

bbe@Leviticus:23:10 @Say to the children of Israel, When you have come to the land which I will give you, and have got in the grain from its fields, take some of the first-fruits of the grain to the priest;

bbe@Leviticus:23:11 @And let the grain be waved before the Lord, so that you may be pleasing to him; on the day after the Sabbath let it be waved by the priest.

bbe@Leviticus:23:12 @And on the day of the waving of the grain, you are to give a male lamb of the first year, without any mark, for a burned offering to the Lord.

bbe@Leviticus:23:13 @And let the meal offering with it be two tenth parts of an ephah of the best meal mixed with oil, an offering made by fire to the Lord for a sweet smell; and the drink offering with it is to be of wine, the fourth part of a hin.

bbe@Leviticus:23:14 @And you may take no bread or dry grain or new grain for food till the very day on which you have given the offering for your God: this is a rule for ever through all your generations wherever you are living.

bbe@Leviticus:23:15 @And let seven full weeks be numbered from the day after the Sabbath, the day when you give the grain for the wave offering;

bbe@Leviticus:23:16 @Let fifty days be numbered, to the day after the seventh Sabbath; then you are to give a new meal offering to the Lord.

bbe@Leviticus:23:17 @Take from your houses two cakes of bread, made of a fifth part of an ephah of the best meal, cooked with leaven, to be waved for first-fruits to the Lord.

bbe@Leviticus:23:18 @And with the bread, take seven lambs of the first year, without any marks, and one ox and two male sheep, to be a burned offering to the Lord, with their meal offering and their drink offerings, an offering of a sweet smell made by fire to the Lord

bbe@Leviticus:23:19 @And you are to give one male goat for a sin-offering and two male lambs of the first year for peace-offerings.

bbe@Leviticus:23:20 @And these will be waved by the priest, with the bread of the first-fruits, for a wave offering to the Lord, with the two lambs: they will be holy to the Lord for the priest.

bbe@Leviticus:23:21 @And on the same day, let it be given out that there will be a holy meeting for you: you may do no field-work on that day: it is a rule for ever through all your generations wherever you are living.

bbe@Leviticus:23:22 @And when you get in the grain from your land, do not let all the grain at the edges of the field be cut, and do not take up the grain which has been dropped in the field; let that be for the poor, and for the man from another country: I am the Lord your God.

bbe@Leviticus:23:23 @And the Lord said to Moses,

bbe@Leviticus:23:24 @Say to the children of Israel, In the seventh month, on the first day of the month, let there be a special day of rest for you, a day of memory, marked by the blowing of horns, a meeting for worship.

bbe@Leviticus:23:25 @Do no field-work and give to the Lord an offering made by fire.

bbe@Leviticus:23:26 @And the Lord said to Moses,

bbe@Leviticus:23:27 @The tenth day of this seventh month is the day for the taking away of sin; let it be a holy day of worship; you are to keep from pleasure, and give to the Lord an offering made by fire.

bbe@Leviticus:23:28 @And on that day you may do no sort of work, for it is a day of taking away sin, to make you clean before the Lord your God.

bbe@Leviticus:23:29 @For any person, whoever he may be, who takes his pleasure on that day will be cut off from his people.

bbe@Leviticus:23:30 @And if any person, whoever he may be, on that day does any sort of work, I will send destruction on him from among his people.

bbe@Leviticus:23:31 @You may not do any sort of work: this is an order for ever through all your generations wherever you may be living.

bbe@Leviticus:23:32 @Let this be a Sabbath of special rest to you, and keep yourselves from all pleasure; on the ninth day of the month at nightfall from evening to evening, let this Sabbath be kept.

bbe@Leviticus:23:33 @And the Lord said to Moses,

bbe@Leviticus:23:34 @Say to the children of Israel, On the fifteenth day of this seventh month let the feast of tents be kept to the Lord for seven days.

bbe@Leviticus:23:35 @On the first day there will be a holy meeting: do no field-work.

bbe@Leviticus:23:36 @Every day for seven days give an offering made by fire to the Lord; and on the eighth day there is to be a holy meeting, when you are to give an offering made by fire to the Lord; this is a special holy day: you may do no field-work on that day.

bbe@Leviticus:23:37 @These are the fixed feasts of the Lord, to be kept by you as holy days of worship, for making an offering by fire to the Lord; a burned offering, a meal offering, an offering of beasts, and drink offerings; every one on its special day;

bbe@Leviticus:23:38 @In addition to the Sabbaths of the Lord, and in addition to the things you give and the oaths you make and the free offerings to the Lord.

bbe@Leviticus:23:39 @But on the fifteenth day of the seventh month, when you have got in all the fruits of the land, you will keep the feast of the Lord for seven days: the first day will be a Sabbath, and the eighth day the same.

bbe@Leviticus:23:40 @On the first day, take the fruit of fair trees, branches of palm-trees, and branches of thick trees and trees from the riverside, and be glad before the Lord for seven days.

bbe@Leviticus:23:41 @And let this feast be kept before the Lord for seven days in the year: it is a rule for ever from generation to generation; in the seventh month let it be kept.

bbe@Leviticus:23:42 @For seven days you will be living in tents; all those who are Israelites by birth are to make tents their living-places:

bbe@Leviticus:23:43 @So that future generations may keep in mind how I gave the children of Israel tents as their living-places when I took them out of the land of Egypt: I am the Lord your God.

bbe@Leviticus:23:44 @And Moses made clear to the children of Israel the orders about the fixed feasts of the Lord.

bbe@Leviticus:24:1 @And the Lord said to Moses,

bbe@Leviticus:24:2 @Give orders to the children of Israel to give you clean olive oil for the light, so that a light may be burning at all times,

bbe@Leviticus:24:3 @Outside the veil of the ark in the Tent of meeting; let Aaron see that it is burning from evening till morning at all times before the Lord: it is a rule for ever through all your generations.

bbe@Leviticus:24:4 @Let Aaron put the lights in order on the support before the Lord at all times.

bbe@Leviticus:24:5 @And take the best meal and make twelve cakes of it, a fifth part of an ephah in every cake.

bbe@Leviticus:24:6 @And put them in two lines, six in a line, on the holy table before the Lord.

bbe@Leviticus:24:7 @And on the lines of cakes put clean sweet-smelling spices, for a sign on the bread, an offering made by fire to the Lord.

bbe@Leviticus:24:8 @Every Sabbath day regularly, the priest is to put it in order before the Lord: it is offered for the children of Israel, an agreement made for ever.

bbe@Leviticus:24:9 @And it will be for Aaron and his sons; they are to take it for food in a holy place: it is the most holy of all the offerings made by fire to the Lord, a rule for ever.

bbe@Leviticus:24:10 @And a son of an Israelite woman, whose father was an Egyptian, went out among the children of Israel and had a fight with a man of Israel by the tents;

bbe@Leviticus:24:11 @And the son of the Israelite woman said evil against the holy Name, with curses; and they took him to Moses. His mother's name was Shelomith, the daughter of Dibri, of the tribe of Dan.

bbe@Leviticus:24:12 @And they kept him shut up, till a decision might be given by the mouth of the Lord.

bbe@Leviticus:24:13 @And the Lord said to Moses,

bbe@Leviticus:24:14 @Take the curser outside the tent-circle; and let all in whose hearing the words were said put their hands on his head, and let him be stoned by all the people.

bbe@Leviticus:24:15 @And say to the children of Israel, As for any man cursing God, his sin will be on his head.

bbe@Leviticus:24:16 @And he who says evil against the name of the Lord will certainly be put to death; he will be stoned by all the people; the man who is not of your nation and one who is an Israelite by birth, whoever says evil against the holy Name is to be put to death.

bbe@Leviticus:24:17 @And anyone who takes another's life is certainly to be put to death.

bbe@Leviticus:24:18 @And anyone wounding a beast and causing its death, will have to make payment for it: a life for a life.

bbe@Leviticus:24:19 @And if a man does damage to his neighbour, as he has done, so let it be done to him;

bbe@Leviticus:24:20 @Wound for wound, eye for eye, tooth for tooth; whatever damage he has done, so let it be done to him

bbe@Leviticus:24:21 @He who puts a beast to death will have to make payment for it; he who puts a man to death will himself be put to death.

bbe@Leviticus:24:22 @You are to have the same law for a man of another nation living among you as for an Israelite; for I am the Lord your God.

bbe@Leviticus:24:23 @And Moses said these words to the children of Israel, and they took the man who had been cursing outside the tent-circle and had him stoned. The children of Israel did as the Lord gave orders to Moses.

bbe@Leviticus:25:1 @And the Lord said to Moses on Mount Sinai,

bbe@Leviticus:25:2 @Say to the children of Israel, When you come into the land which I will give you, let the land keep a Sabbath to the Lord.

bbe@Leviticus:25:3 @For six years put seed into your land, and for six years give care to your vines and get in the produce of them;

bbe@Leviticus:25:4 @But let the seventh year be a Sabbath of rest for the land, a Sabbath to the Lord; do not put seed into your land or have your vines cut.

bbe@Leviticus:25:5 @That which comes to growth of itself may not be cut, and the grapes of your uncared-for vines may not be taken off; let it be a year of rest for the land.

bbe@Leviticus:25:6 @And the Sabbath of the land will give food for you and your man-servant and your woman-servant and those working for payment, and for those of another country who are living among you;

bbe@Leviticus:25:7 @And for your cattle and the beasts on the land; all the natural increase of the land will be for food.

bbe@Leviticus:25:8 @And let seven Sabbaths of years be numbered to you, seven times seven years; even the days of seven Sabbaths of years, that is forty-nine years;

bbe@Leviticus:25:9 @Then let the loud horn be sounded far and wide on the tenth day of the seventh month; on the day of taking away sin let the horn be sounded through all your land

bbe@Leviticus:25:10 @And let this fiftieth year be kept holy, and say publicly that everyone in the land is free from debt: it is the Jubilee, and every man may go back to his heritage and to his family.

bbe@Leviticus:25:11 @Let this fiftieth year be the Jubilee: no seed may be planted, and that which comes to growth of itself may not be cut, and the grapes may not be taken from the uncared-for vines.

bbe@Leviticus:25:12 @For it is the Jubilee, and it is holy to you; your food will be the natural increase of the field.

bbe@Leviticus:25:13 @In this year of Jubilee, let every man go back to his heritage.

bbe@Leviticus:25:14 @And in the business of trading goods for money, do no wrong to one another.

bbe@Leviticus:25:15 @Let your exchange of goods with your neighbours have relation to the number of years after the year of Jubilee, and the number of times the earth has given her produce.

bbe@Leviticus:25:16 @If the number of years is great, the price will be increased, and if the number of years is small, the price will be less, for it is the produce of a certain number of years which the man is giving you.

bbe@Leviticus:25:17 @And do no wrong, one to another, but let the fear of your God be before you; for I am the Lord your God.

bbe@Leviticus:25:18 @So keep my rules and my decisions and do them, and you will be safe in your land.

bbe@Leviticus:25:19 @And the land will give her fruit, and you will have food in full measure and be safe in the land.

bbe@Leviticus:25:20 @And if you say, Where will our food come from in the seventh year, when we may not put in seed, or get in the increase

bbe@Leviticus:25:21 @Then I will send my blessing on you in the sixth year, and the land will give fruit enough for three years.

bbe@Leviticus:25:22 @And in the eighth year you will put in your seed, and get your food from the old stores, till the fruit of the ninth year is ready.

bbe@Leviticus:25:23 @No exchange of land may be for ever, for the land is mine, and you are as my guests, living with me for a time.

bbe@Leviticus:25:24 @Wherever there is property in land, the owner is to have the right of getting it back.

bbe@Leviticus:25:25 @If your brother becomes poor, and has to give up some of his land for money, his nearest relation may come and get back that which his brother has given up.

bbe@Leviticus:25:26 @And if he has no one to get it back for him, and later he himself gets wealth and has enough money to get it back;

bbe@Leviticus:25:27 @Then let him take into account the years from the time when he gave it up, and make up the loss for the rest of the years to him who took it, and so get back his property.

bbe@Leviticus:25:28 @But if he is not able to get it back for himself, then it will be kept by him who gave a price for it, till the year of Jubilee; and in that year it will go back to its first owner and he will have his property again.

bbe@Leviticus:25:29 @And if a man gives his house in a walled town for money, he has the right to get it back for the space of a full year after he has given it up.

bbe@Leviticus:25:30 @And if he does not get it back by the end of the year, then the house in the town will become the property of him who gave the money for it, and of his children for ever; it will not go from him in the year of Jubilee.

bbe@Leviticus:25:31 @But houses in small unwalled towns will be the same as property in the country; they may be got back, and they will go back to their owners in the year of Jubilee.

bbe@Leviticus:25:32 @But the houses in the towns of the Levites may be got back by the Levites at any time.

bbe@Leviticus:25:33 @And if a Levite does not give money to get back his property, his house in the town which was exchanged for money will come back to him in the year of Jubilee. For the houses of the towns of the Levites are their property among the children of Israel.

bbe@Leviticus:25:34 @But the land on the outskirts of their towns may not be exchanged for money, for it is their property for ever.

bbe@Leviticus:25:35 @And if your brother becomes poor and is not able to make a living, then you are to keep him with you, helping him as you would a man from another country who is living among you.

bbe@Leviticus:25:36 @Take no interest from him, in money or in goods, but have the fear of your God before you, and let your brother make a living among you.

bbe@Leviticus:25:37 @Do not take interest on the money which you let him have or on the food which you give him.

bbe@Leviticus:25:38 @I am the Lord your God, who took you out of the land of Egypt to give you the land of Canaan, that I might be your God.

bbe@Leviticus:25:39 @And if your brother becomes poor and gives himself to you for money, do not make use of him like a servant who is your property;

bbe@Leviticus:25:40 @But let him be with you as a servant working for payment, till the year of Jubilee;

bbe@Leviticus:25:41 @Then he will go out from you, he and his children with him, and go back to his family and to the property of his fathers.

bbe@Leviticus:25:42 @For they are my servants whom I took out from the land of Egypt; they may not become the property of another.

bbe@Leviticus:25:43 @Do not be a hard master to him, but have the fear of God before you.

bbe@Leviticus:25:44 @But you may get servants as property from among the nations round about; from them you may take men-servants and women-servants.

bbe@Leviticus:25:45 @And in addition, you may get, for money, servants from among the children of other nations who are living with you, and from their families which have come to birth in your land; and these will be your property.

bbe@Leviticus:25:46 @And they will be your children's heritage after you, to keep as their property; they will be your servants for ever; but you may not be hard masters to your countrymen, the children of Israel.

bbe@Leviticus:25:47 @And if one from another nation living among you gets wealth, and your countryman, at his side, becomes poor and gives himself for money to the man from another nation or to one of his family;

bbe@Leviticus:25:48 @After he has given himself he has the right to be made free, for a price, by one of his brothers,

bbe@Leviticus:25:49 @Or his father's brother, or the son of his father's brother, or any near relation; or if he gets money, he may make himself free.

bbe@Leviticus:25:50 @And let the years be numbered from the time when he gave himself to his owner till the year of Jubilee, and the price given for him will be in relation to the number of years, on the scale of the payment of a servant.

bbe@Leviticus:25:51 @If there is still a long time, he will give back, on account of it, a part of the price which was given for him.

bbe@Leviticus:25:52 @And if there is only a short time, he will take account of it with his master, and in relation to the number of years he will give back the price of making him free.

bbe@Leviticus:25:53 @And he will be with him as a servant working for payment year by year; his master is not to be cruel to him before your eyes.

bbe@Leviticus:25:54 @And if he is not made free in this way, he will go out in the year of Jubilee, he and his children with him.

bbe@Leviticus:25:55 @For the children of Israel are servants to me; they are my servants whom I took out of the land of Egypt: I am the Lord your God.

bbe@Leviticus:26:1 @Do not make images of false gods, or put up an image cut in stone or a pillar or any pictured stone in your land, to give worship to it; for I am the Lord your God.

bbe@Leviticus:26:2 @Keep my Sabbaths and give honour to my holy place: I am the Lord.

bbe@Leviticus:26:3 @If you are guided by my rules, and keep my laws and do them,

bbe@Leviticus:26:4 @Then I will give you rain at the right time, and the land will give her increase and the trees of the field will give their fruit;

bbe@Leviticus:26:5 @And the crushing of the grain will overtake the cutting of the grapes, and the cutting of the grapes will overtake the planting of the seed, and there will be bread in full measure, and you will be living in your land safely.

bbe@Leviticus:26:6 @And I will give you peace in the land, and you will take your rest and no one will give you cause for fear; and I will put an end to all evil beasts in the land, and no sword of war will go through your land.

bbe@Leviticus:26:7 @And you will put to flight those who are against you, and they will be put to death by your swords.

bbe@Leviticus:26:8 @Then five of you will put to flight a hundred, and a hundred of you will put to flight ten thousand, and all who are against you will be put to death by your swords.

bbe@Leviticus:26:9 @And I will have pleasure in you and make you fertile and greater in number; and I will keep my agreement with you.

bbe@Leviticus:26:10 @And old stores long kept will be your food, and you will take out the old because of the new;

bbe@Leviticus:26:11 @And I will put my holy House among you, and my soul will not be turned away from you in disgust

bbe@Leviticus:26:12 @And I will be present among you and will be your God and you will be my people.

bbe@Leviticus:26:13 @I am the Lord your God, who took you out of the land of Egypt so that you might not be servants to them; by me the cords of your yoke were broken and I made you go upright.

bbe@Leviticus:26:14 @But if you do not give ear to me, and do not keep all these my laws;

bbe@Leviticus:26:15 @And if you go against my rules and if you have hate in your souls for my decisions and you do not do all my orders, but go against my agreement;

bbe@Leviticus:26:16 @This will I do to you: I will put fear in your hearts, even wasting disease and burning pain, drying up the eyes and making the soul feeble, and you will get no profit from your seed, for your haters will take it for food.

bbe@Leviticus:26:17 @And my face will be turned from you, and you will be broken before those who are against you, and your haters will become your rulers, and you will go in flight when no man comes after you.

bbe@Leviticus:26:18 @And if, even after these things, you will not give ear to me, then I will send you punishment seven times more for your sins.

bbe@Leviticus:26:19 @And the pride of your strength will be broken, and I will make your heaven as iron and your earth as brass;

bbe@Leviticus:26:20 @And your strength will be used up without profit; for your land will not give her increase and the trees of the field will not give their fruit.

bbe@Leviticus:26:21 @And if you still go against me and will not give ear to me, I will put seven times more punishments on you because of your sins.

bbe@Leviticus:26:22 @I will let loose the beasts of the field among you, and they will take away your children and send destruction on your cattle, so that your numbers will become small and your roads become waste.

bbe@Leviticus:26:23 @And if by these things you will not be turned to me, but still go against me;

bbe@Leviticus:26:24 @Then I will go against you, and I will give you punishment, I myself, seven times for all your sins.

bbe@Leviticus:26:25 @And I will send a sword on you to give effect to the punishment of my agreement; and when you come together into your towns I will send disease among you and you will be given up into the hands of your haters.

bbe@Leviticus:26:26 @When I take away your bread of life, ten women will be cooking bread in one oven, and your bread will be measured out by weight; you will have food but never enough.

bbe@Leviticus:26:27 @And if, after all this, you do not give ear to me, but go against me still,

bbe@Leviticus:26:28 @Then my wrath will be burning against you, and I will give you punishment, I myself, seven times for your sins.

bbe@Leviticus:26:29 @Then you will take the flesh of your sons and the flesh of your daughters for food;

bbe@Leviticus:26:30 @And I will send destruction on your high places, overturning your perfume altars, and will put your dead bodies on your broken images, and my soul will be turned from you in disgust.

bbe@Leviticus:26:31 @And I will make your towns waste and send destruction on your holy places; I will take no pleasure in the smell of your sweet perfumes;

bbe@Leviticus:26:32 @And I will make your land a waste, a wonder to your haters living in it.

bbe@Leviticus:26:33 @And I will send you out in all directions among the nations, and my sword will be uncovered against you, and your land will be without any living thing, and your towns will be made waste.

bbe@Leviticus:26:34 @Then will the land take pleasure in its Sabbaths while it is waste and you are living in the land of your haters; then will the land have rest.

bbe@Leviticus:26:35 @All the days while it is waste will the land have rest, such rest as it never had in your Sabbaths, when you were living in it.

bbe@Leviticus:26:36 @And as for the rest of you, I will make their hearts feeble in the land of their haters, and the sound of a leaf moved by the wind will send them in flight, and they will go in flight as from the sword, falling down when no one comes after them;

bbe@Leviticus:26:37 @Falling on one another, as before the sword, when no one comes after them; you will give way before your haters.

bbe@Leviticus:26:38 @And death will overtake you among strange nations, and the land of your haters will be your destruction.

bbe@Leviticus:26:39 @And those of you who are still living will be wasting away in their sins in the land of your haters; in the sins of their fathers they will be wasting away.

bbe@Leviticus:26:40 @And they will have grief for their sins and for the sins of their fathers, when their hearts were untrue to me, and they went against me;

bbe@Leviticus:26:41 @So that I went against them and sent them away into the land of their haters: if then the pride of their hearts is broken and they take the punishment of their sins,

bbe@Leviticus:26:42 @Then I will keep in mind the agreement which I made with Jacob and with Isaac and with Abraham, and I will keep in mind the land.

bbe@Leviticus:26:43 @And the land, while she is without them, will keep her Sabbaths; and they will undergo the punishment of their sins, because they were turned away from my decisions and in their souls was hate for my laws.

bbe@Leviticus:26:44 @But for all that, when they are in the land of their haters I will not let them go, or be turned away from them, or give them up completely; my agreement with them will not be broken, for I am the Lord their God.

bbe@Leviticus:26:45 @And because of them I will keep in mind the agreement which I made with their fathers, whom I took out of the land of Egypt before the eyes of the nations, to be their God: I am the Lord.

bbe@Leviticus:26:46 @These are the rules, decisions, and laws, which the Lord made between himself and the children of Israel in Mount Sinai, by the hand of Moses.

bbe@Leviticus:27:1 @And the Lord said to Moses,

bbe@Leviticus:27:2 @Say to the children of Israel, If a man makes a special oath, you will give your decision as to the value of the persons for the Lord.

bbe@Leviticus:27:3 @And you will put the value of a male from twenty years to sixty years old at fifty shekels of silver, by the scale of the holy place.

bbe@Leviticus:27:4 @And if it is a female, the value will be thirty shekels.

bbe@Leviticus:27:5 @And if the person is from five to twenty years old, the value will be twenty shekels for a male, and ten for a female.

bbe@Leviticus:27:6 @And if the person is from one month to five years old, then the value for a male will be five shekels of silver, and for a female three shekels.

bbe@Leviticus:27:7 @And for sixty years old and over, for a male the value will be fifteen shekels, and for a female, ten.

bbe@Leviticus:27:8 @But if he is poorer than the value which you have put on him, then let him be taken to the priest, and the priest will put a value on him, such as it is possible for him to give.

bbe@Leviticus:27:9 @And if it is a beast of which men make offerings to the Lord, whatever any man gives of such to the Lord will be holy.

bbe@Leviticus:27:10 @It may not be changed in any way, a good given for a bad, or a bad for a good; if one beast is changed for another, the two will be holy.

bbe@Leviticus:27:11 @And if it is any unclean beast, of which offerings are not made to the Lord, then let him take the beast before the priest;

bbe@Leviticus:27:12 @And let the priest put a value on it, if it is good or bad; whatever value the priest puts on it, so will it be.

bbe@Leviticus:27:13 @But if he has a desire to get it back for himself, let him give a fifth more than your value

bbe@Leviticus:27:14 @And if a man has given his house as holy to the Lord, then the priest will put a value on it, if it is good or bad; as the priest gives decision so will the value be fixed.

bbe@Leviticus:27:15 @And if the owner has a desire to get back his house, let him give a fifth more than your value, and it will be his.

bbe@Leviticus:27:16 @And if a man gives to the Lord part of the field which is his property, then let your value be in relation to the seed which is planted in it; a measure of barley grain will be valued at fifty shekels of silver.

bbe@Leviticus:27:17 @If he gives his field from the year of Jubilee, the value will be fixed by your decision.

bbe@Leviticus:27:18 @But if he gives his field after the year of Jubilee, the amount of the money will be worked out by the priest in relation to the number of years till the coming year of Jubilee, and the necessary amount will be taken off your value.

bbe@Leviticus:27:19 @And if the man who has given the field has a desire to get it back, let him give a fifth more than the price at which it was valued and it will be his.

bbe@Leviticus:27:20 @But if he has no desire to get it back, or if he has given it for a price to another man, it may not be got back again.

bbe@Leviticus:27:21 @But the field, when it becomes free at the year of Jubilee, will be holy to the Lord, as a field given under oath: it will be the property of the priest.

bbe@Leviticus:27:22 @And if a man gives to the Lord a field which he has got for money from another, which is not part of his heritage;

bbe@Leviticus:27:23 @Then the value fixed by you up to the year of Jubilee will be worked out for him by the priest, and in that day he will give the amount of your value as holy to the Lord.

bbe@Leviticus:27:24 @In the year of Jubilee the field will go back to him from whom he got it, that is, to him whose heritage it was.

bbe@Leviticus:27:25 @And let all your values be based on the shekel of the holy place, that is, twenty gerahs to the shekel.

bbe@Leviticus:27:26 @But a man may not give by oath to the Lord the first-fruits of cattle which are offered to the Lord: if it is an ox or a sheep it is the Lord's.

bbe@Leviticus:27:27 @And if it is an unclean beast, then the owner of it may give money to get it back, in agreement with the value fixed by you, by giving a fifth more; or if it is not taken back, let it be given for money in agreement with your valuing.

bbe@Leviticus:27:28 @But nothing which a man has given completely to the Lord, out of all his property, of man or beast, or of the land which is his heritage, may be given away or got back in exchange for money; anything completely given is most holy to the Lord.

bbe@Leviticus:27:29 @Any man given completely to the Lord may not be got back: he is certainly to be put to death.

bbe@Leviticus:27:30 @And every tenth part of the land, of the seed planted, or of the fruit of trees, is holy to the Lord.

bbe@Leviticus:27:31 @And if a man has a desire to get back any of the tenth part which he has given, let him give a fifth more.

bbe@Leviticus:27:32 @And a tenth part of the herd and of the flock, whatever goes under the rod of the valuer, will be holy to the Lord.

bbe@Leviticus:27:33 @He may not make search to see if it is good or bad, or make any changes in it; and if he makes exchange of it for another, the two will be holy; he will not get them back again.

bbe@Leviticus:27:34 @These are the orders which the Lord gave to Moses for the children of Israel in Mount Sinai.

bbe@Numbers:1:47 @But the Levites, of the tribe of their fathers, were not numbered among them.

bbe@Numbers:1:50 @But to them you are to give the care of the Tent of meeting with its vessels and everything in it: they are to take up the Tent, and be responsible for everything to do with it, and put up their tents round it.

bbe@Numbers:1:51 @And when the Tent of meeting goes forward, the Levites are to take it down; and when it is to be put up, they are to do it: any strange person who comes near it is to be put to death.

bbe@Numbers:1:53 @But the tents of the Levites are to be round the Tent of meeting, so that wrath may not come on the children of Israel: the Tent of meeting is to be in the care of the Levites.

bbe@Numbers:2:3 @Those whose tents are on the east side, looking to the dawn, will be round the flag of the children of Judah, with Nahshon, the son of Amminadab, as their chief.

bbe@Numbers:2:5 @And nearest to him will be the tribe of Issachar, with Nethanel, the son of Zuar, as their chief.

bbe@Numbers:2:7 @After him, the tribe of Zebulun, with Eliab, the son of Helon, as their chief.

bbe@Numbers:2:10 @On the south side is the flag of the children of Reuben, in the order of their armies, with Elizur, the son of Shedeur, as their chief.

bbe@Numbers:2:12 @And nearest to him, the tribe of Simeon, with Shelumiel, the son of Zurishaddai, as their chief.

bbe@Numbers:2:14 @Then the tribe of Gad, with Eliasaph, son of Reuel, as their chief.

bbe@Numbers:2:17 @Then the Tent of meeting is to go forward, with the tents of the Levites, in the middle of the armies; in the same order as their tents are placed, they are to go forward, every man under his flag.

bbe@Numbers:2:18 @On the west side will be the flag of the children of Ephraim, with Elishama, the son of Ammihud, as their chief.

bbe@Numbers:2:20 @And by him the tribe of Manasseh with Gamaliel, the son of Pedahzur, as their chief.

bbe@Numbers:2:22 @Then the tribe of Benjamin, with Abidan, the son of Gideoni, as their chief.

bbe@Numbers:2:25 @On the north side will be the flag of the children of Dan, with Ahiezer, the son of Ammishaddai, as their chief.

bbe@Numbers:2:27 @Nearest to him will be the tribe of Asher, with Pagiel, the son of Ochran, as their chief.

bbe@Numbers:2:29 @Then the tribe of Naphtali, with Ahira, the son of Enan, as their chief.

bbe@Numbers:2:33 @But the Levites were not numbered among the children of Israel, as the Lord said to Moses.

bbe@Numbers:3:2 @These are the names of the sons of Aaron: Nadab the oldest, and Abihu, Eleazar, and Ithamar.

bbe@Numbers:3:4 @And Nadab and Abihu were put to death before the Lord when they made an offering of strange fire before the Lord, in the waste land of Sinai, and they had no children: and Eleazar and Ithamar did the work of priests before Aaron their father.

bbe@Numbers:3:9 @Give the Levites to Aaron and his sons; so that they may be his without question from among the children of Israel.

bbe@Numbers:3:12 @See, I have taken the Levites out of the children of Israel to be mine in place of the first sons of the children of Israel;

bbe@Numbers:3:20 @And the sons of Merari by their families: Mahli and Mushi. These are the families of the Levites in the order of their fathers' houses.

bbe@Numbers:3:21 @From Gershon come the Libnites and the Shimeites; these are the families of the Gershonites.

bbe@Numbers:3:23 @The tents of the Gershonites are to be placed at the back of the House, to the west.

bbe@Numbers:3:24 @The chief of the Gershonites is Eliasaph, the son of Lael.

bbe@Numbers:3:25 @In the Tent of meeting, the Gershonites are to have the care of the House, and the Tent with its cover, and the veil for the door of the Tent of meeting,

bbe@Numbers:3:26 @And the hangings for the open space round the House and the altar, and the curtain for its doorway, and all the cords needed for its use.

bbe@Numbers:3:27 @From Kohath come the Amramites and the Izharites and the Hebronites and the Uzzielites; these are the families of the Kohathites.

bbe@Numbers:3:29 @The tents of the Kohathites are to be placed on the south side of the House.

bbe@Numbers:3:32 @Eleazar, the son of Aaron the priest, will be head over all the Levites and overseer of those responsible for the care of the holy place.

bbe@Numbers:3:33 @From Merari come the Mahlites and the Mushites; these are the families of Merari.

bbe@Numbers:3:36 @And in their care are to be all the boards of the Tent, with their rods and pillars and bases, and all the instruments, and all they are used for,

bbe@Numbers:3:37 @And the pillars of the open space round it, with their bases and nails and cords.

bbe@Numbers:3:39 @All the Levites numbered by Moses and Aaron at the order of the Lord, all the males of one month old and over numbered in the order of their families, were twenty-two thousand.

bbe@Numbers:3:41 @And give to me the Levites (I am the Lord) in place of the first sons of the children of Israel; and the cattle of the Levites in place of the first births among the cattle of the children of Israel.

bbe@Numbers:3:45 @Take the Levites in place of all the first sons of the children of Israel, and the cattle of the Levites in place of their cattle; the Levites are to be mine; I am the Lord.

bbe@Numbers:3:46 @And the price you have to give for the two hundred and seventy-three first sons of the children of Israel which are in addition to the number of the Levites,

bbe@Numbers:3:48 @And this money, the price of those over the number of the Levites, is to be given to Aaron and his sons.

bbe@Numbers:3:49 @So Moses took the money, the price of those whose place had not been taken by the Levites;

bbe@Numbers:3:50 @From the first sons of Israel he took it, a thousand, three hundred and sixty-five shekels, by the scale of the holy place;

bbe@Numbers:4:4 @And this is to be the work of the sons of Kohath in connection with the most holy things.

bbe@Numbers:4:5 @When all the people go forward, Aaron is to go in with his sons, and take down the veil of the curtain, covering the ark of witness with it;

bbe@Numbers:4:6 @And putting over it the leather cover and over that a blue cloth; and putting its rods in place.

bbe@Numbers:4:7 @And on the table of the holy bread they are to put a blue cloth, and on it all the vessels, the spoons and the basins and the cups; and the holy bread with them;

bbe@Numbers:4:8 @And over them they are to put a red cloth, covering it with a leather cover, and putting its rods in their places.

bbe@Numbers:4:9 @And they are to take a blue cloth, covering with it the light-support with its lights and its instruments and its trays and all the oil vessels which are used for it:

bbe@Numbers:4:10 @All these they are to put in a leather cover, and put it on the frame

bbe@Numbers:4:11 @On the gold altar they are to put a blue cloth, covering it with a leather cover; and they are to put its rods in their places.

bbe@Numbers:4:12 @All the vessels which are used in the holy place they are to put in a blue cloth, covering them with a leather cover, and put them on the frame.

bbe@Numbers:4:13 @And they are to take away the burned waste from the altar, and put a purple cloth on it;

bbe@Numbers:4:14 @Placing on the cloth all its vessels, the fire-baskets, the meat-hooks, the spades, and the basins; all the vessels of the altar; they are to put a leather cover over all these, and put its rods in their places.

bbe@Numbers:4:15 @And after the holy place and all its vessels have been covered up by Aaron and his sons, when the tents of the people go forward, the sons of Kohath are to come and take it up; but the holy things may not be touched by them for fear of death.

bbe@Numbers:4:16 @And Eleazar, the son of Aaron the priest, is to be responsible for the oil for the light, and the sweet perfumes for burning, and the regular meal offering, and the holy oil; the House and the holy place and everything in it will be in his care.

bbe@Numbers:4:18 @Do not let the family of the Kohathites be cut off from among the Levites;

bbe@Numbers:4:24 @This is to be the work of the Gershonites, the things they are to do and take up.

bbe@Numbers:4:25 @They are to take up the curtains of the House, and the Tent of meeting with its cover and the leather cover over it, and the hangings for the door of the Tent of meeting;

bbe@Numbers:4:26 @And the hangings for the open space round the House and the altar, and the curtain for its doorway, with the cords and all the things used for them; whatever is necessary for these, they are to do.

bbe@Numbers:4:27 @From the mouth of Aaron and his sons the Gershonites will have word about all the things they are to do and take up; you are to give them their orders.

bbe@Numbers:4:28 @This is the work of the family of the Gershonites in the Tent of meeting, and they will be under the direction of Ithamar, the son of Aaron the priest.

bbe@Numbers:4:31 @And this is their part in the work of the Tent of meeting: the transport of the boards and the rods of the Tent, with the pillars and their bases;

bbe@Numbers:4:32 @And the pillars of the open space outside it, with their bases and their nails and cords and all the instruments used, and everything which has to be done there; all the instruments for which they are responsible are to be numbered by name.

bbe@Numbers:4:33 @This is the work which the sons of Merari are to do in connection with the Tent of meeting, under the direction of Ithamar, the son of Aaron the priest.

bbe@Numbers:4:34 @So Moses and Aaron and the chiefs of the people took in hand the numbering of the sons of the Kohathites, by families, in the order of their fathers' houses;

bbe@Numbers:4:37 @This is the number of those of the Kohathites who did the work in the Tent of meeting, as they were numbered by Moses and Aaron at the order of the Lord.

bbe@Numbers:4:46 @And all the Levites who were numbered by Moses and Aaron and the chiefs of the people, by families, in the order of their fathers' houses,

bbe@Numbers:4:47 @Those from thirty to fifty years old who were able to do the work of the Tent of meeting and of its transport,

bbe@Numbers:5:7 @Let them say openly what they have done; and make payment for the wrong done, with the addition of a fifth part, and give it to him to whom the wrong was done.

bbe@Numbers:5:8 @But if the man has no relation to whom the payment may be made, then the payment for sin made to the Lord will be the priest's, in addition to the sheep offered to take away his sin.

bbe@Numbers:5:13 @By taking as her lover another man, and keeps it secret so that her husband has no knowledge of it, and there is no witness against her, and she is not taken in the act;

bbe@Numbers:5:14 @If the spirit of doubt comes into her husband's heart, and he has doubts of his wife, with good cause; or if he has doubts of her without cause:

bbe@Numbers:5:15 @Then let him take her to the priest, offering for her the tenth part of an ephah of barley meal, without oil or perfume; for it is a meal offering of a bitter spirit, a meal offering keeping wrongdoing in mind.

bbe@Numbers:5:17 @And the priest will take holy water in a pot and put in it dust from the floor of the House;

bbe@Numbers:5:18 @And he will make the woman come before the Lord with her hair loose, and will put the meal offering, the offering of a bitter spirit, in her hands; and the priest will take in his hand the bitter water causing the curse;

bbe@Numbers:5:19 @And he will make her take an oath, and say to her, If no man has been your lover and you have not been with another in place of your husband, you are free from this bitter water causing the curse;

bbe@Numbers:5:20 @But if you have been with another in place of your husband and have made yourself unclean with a lover:

bbe@Numbers:5:22 @And this water of the curse will go into your body, causing disease of your stomach and wasting of your legs: and the woman will say, So be it.

bbe@Numbers:5:23 @And the priest will put these curses in a book, washing out the writing with the bitter water;

bbe@Numbers:5:24 @And he will give to the woman the bitter water for drink; and the bitter water causing the curse will go into her.

bbe@Numbers:5:25 @And the priest will take from her hand the meal offering of doubt, waving it before the Lord, and will take it to the altar;

bbe@Numbers:5:26 @And he will take some of it in his hand, burning it on the altar as a sign, and then he will give the woman the bitter water.

bbe@Numbers:5:27 @And it will be that if the woman has become unclean, sinning against her husband, when she has taken the bitter water it will go into her body, causing disease of the stomach and wasting of the legs, and she will be a curse among her people.

bbe@Numbers:5:29 @This is the law for testing a wife who goes with another in place of her husband and becomes unclean;

bbe@Numbers:5:30 @Or for a husband who, in a bitter spirit, has doubts in his heart about his wife; let him take her to the priest, who will put in force this law.

bbe@Numbers:6:4 @All the time he is separate he may take nothing made from the grape-vine, from its seeds to its skin.

bbe@Numbers:6:14 @And make his offering to the Lord; one he-lamb of the first year, without a mark, for a burned offering, and one female lamb of the first year, without a mark, for a sin-offering, and one male sheep, without a mark, for peace-offerings,

bbe@Numbers:6:15 @And a basket of unleavened bread, cakes of the best meal mixed with oil, and thin unleavened cakes covered with oil, with their meal offering and drink offerings.

bbe@Numbers:6:17 @Giving the sheep of the peace-offerings, with the basket of unleavened bread; and at the same time, the priest will make his meal offering and his drink offering.

bbe@Numbers:6:18 @Then let his long hair, the sign of his oath, be cut off at the door of the Tent of meeting, and let him put it on the fire on which the peace-offerings are burning.

bbe@Numbers:6:20 @Waving them for a wave offering before the Lord; this is holy for the priest, together with the waved breast and the leg which is lifted up; after that, the man may take wine.

bbe@Numbers:6:21 @This is the law for him who takes an oath to keep himself separate, and for his offering to the Lord on that account, in addition to what he may be able to get; this is the law of his oath, which he will have to keep.

bbe@Numbers:7:1 @And when Moses had put up the House completely, and had put oil on it and made it holy, with all the things in it, and had made the altar and all its vessels holy with oil;

bbe@Numbers:7:3 @And they came with their offerings before the Lord, six covered carts and twelve oxen; a cart for every two of the chiefs, and for every one an ox.

bbe@Numbers:7:5 @Take the things from them, to be used for the work of the Tent of meeting; and give them to the Levites, to every man what is needed for his work.

bbe@Numbers:7:6 @So Moses took the carts and the oxen and gave them to the Levites.

bbe@Numbers:7:8 @And four carts and eight oxen he gave to the sons of Merari for their work, under the direction of Ithamar, the son of Aaron the priest.

bbe@Numbers:7:9 @But to the sons of Kohath he gave nothing; because they had the care of the holy place, taking it about on their backs.

bbe@Numbers:7:10 @And the chiefs gave an offering for the altar on the day when the holy oil was put on it; they made their offering before the altar.

bbe@Numbers:7:13 @And his offering was one silver plate, a hundred and thirty shekels in weight, one silver basin of seventy shekels, by the scale of the holy place; the two of them full of the best meal mixed with oil for a meal offering;

bbe@Numbers:7:19 @He gave one silver plate, a hundred and thirty shekels in weight, one silver basin of seventy shekels, by the scale of the holy place; the two of them full of the best meal mixed with oil for a meal offering;

bbe@Numbers:7:25 @His offering was one silver plate, a hundred and thirty shekels in weight, one silver basin of seventy shekels, by the scale of the holy place; the two of them full of the best meal mixed with oil for a meal offering;

bbe@Numbers:7:31 @His offering was one silver plate, a hundred and thirty shekels in weight, one silver basin of seventy shekels, by the scale of the holy place; the two of them full of the best meal mixed with oil for a meal offering;

bbe@Numbers:7:37 @His offering was one silver plate, a hundred and thirty shekels in weight, one silver basin of seventy shekels, by the scale of the holy place; the two of them full of the best meal mixed with oil for a meal offering;

bbe@Numbers:7:55 @His offering was one silver plate, a hundred and thirty shekels in weight, one silver basin of seventy shekels, by the scale of the holy place; the two of them full of the best meal mixed with oil for a meal offering;

bbe@Numbers:7:79 @His offering was one silver plate, a hundred and thirty shekels in weight, one silver basin of seventy shekels, by the scale of the holy place; the two of them full of the best meal mixed with oil for a meal offering;

bbe@Numbers:7:84 @These were the offerings given for the altar by the chiefs of Israel, when the holy oil was put on it: twelve silver plates, twelve silver basins, twelve gold spoons;

bbe@Numbers:7:87 @All the oxen, for the burned offering were twelve, the male sheep twelve, the he-lambs of the first year twelve, with their meal offering; and the males of the goats for sin-offering twelve;

bbe@Numbers:7:88 @And all the oxen for the peace-offerings, twenty-four oxen, the male sheep sixty, and the he-goats sixty, the he-lambs of the first year sixty. This was given for the altar after the holy oil was put on it.

bbe@Numbers:7:89 @And when Moses went into the Tent of meeting to have talk with him, then the Voice came to his ears from over the cover which was on the ark of witness, from between the two winged ones. And he had talk with him.

bbe@Numbers:8:4 @The support for the lights was of hammered gold work, from its base to its flowers it was of hammered work; from the design which the Lord had given to Moses, he made the support for the lights.

bbe@Numbers:8:6 @Take the Levites out from among the children of Israel and make them clean.

bbe@Numbers:8:7 @And this is how you are to make them clean: let the holy water which takes away sin be put on them, and let the hair all over their bodies be cut off with a sharp blade, and let their clothing be washed and their bodies made clean.

bbe@Numbers:8:8 @Then let them take a young ox and its meal offering, crushed grain mixed with oil, and take another ox for a sin-offering.

bbe@Numbers:8:9 @And make the Levites come forward in front of the Tent of meeting, and let all the children of Israel come together:

bbe@Numbers:8:10 @And you are to take the Levites before the Lord: and the children of Israel are to put their hands on them:

bbe@Numbers:8:11 @And Aaron is to give the Levites to the Lord as a wave offering from the children of Israel, so that they may do the Lord's work.

bbe@Numbers:8:12 @And the Levites are to put their hands on the heads of the oxen, and one of the oxen is to be offered for a sin-offering and the other for a burned offering to the Lord to take away the sin of the Levites.

bbe@Numbers:8:13 @Then the Levites are to be put before Aaron and his sons, to be offered as a wave offering to the Lord.

bbe@Numbers:8:14 @So you are to make the Levites separate from the children of Israel, and the Levites will be mine.

bbe@Numbers:8:15 @After that, the Levites will go in to do whatever has to be done in the Tent of meeting; you are to make them clean and give them as a wave offering.

bbe@Numbers:8:18 @And in place of the first sons among the children of Israel, I have taken the Levites

bbe@Numbers:8:20 @All these things Moses and Aaron and the children of Israel did to the Levites; as the Lord gave orders to Moses about the Levites, so the children of Israel did.

bbe@Numbers:8:21 @And the Levites were made clean from sin, and their clothing was washed, and Aaron gave them for a wave offering before the Lord; and Aaron took away their sin and made them clean.

bbe@Numbers:8:22 @And then the Levites went in to do their work in the Tent of meeting before Aaron and his sons: all the orders which the Lord had given Moses about the Levites were put into effect.

bbe@Numbers:8:24 @This is the rule for the Levites: those of twenty-five years old and over are to go in and do the work of the Tent of meeting;

bbe@Numbers:8:26 @But be with their brothers in the Tent of meeting, taking care of it but doing no work. This is what you are to do in connection with the Levites and their work.

bbe@Numbers:9:2 @Let the children of Israel keep the Passover at its regular time.

bbe@Numbers:9:3 @In the fourteenth day of this month, at evening, you are to keep it at the regular time, and in the way ordered in the law.

bbe@Numbers:9:11 @In the second month, on the fourteenth day, in the evening, they are to keep it, taking it with unleavened bread and bitter-tasting plants;

bbe@Numbers:9:12 @Nothing of it is to be kept till the morning, and no bone of it is to be broken: they are to keep it by the rules of the Passover.

bbe@Numbers:9:15 @And on the day when the House was put up, the cloud came down on it, on the Tent of witness; and in the evening there was a light like fire over the House till the morning.

bbe@Numbers:9:16 @And so it was at all times: it was covered by the cloud, and by a light as of fire by night.

bbe@Numbers:9:19 @When the cloud was resting on the House for a long time the children of Israel, waiting for the order of the Lord, did not go on.

bbe@Numbers:9:21 @And sometimes the cloud was there only from evening to morning; and when the cloud was taken up in the morning they went on their journey again: or if it was resting there by day and by night, whenever the cloud was taken up they went forward.

bbe@Numbers:9:22 @Or if the cloud came to rest on the House for two days or a month or a year without moving, the children of Israel went on waiting there and did not go on; but whenever it was taken up they went forward on their journey.

bbe@Numbers:10:11 @Now in the second year, on the twentieth day of the second month, the cloud was taken up from over the Tent of witness.

bbe@Numbers:10:14 @First the flag of the children of Judah went forward with their armies: and at the head of his army was Nahshon, the son of Amminadab.

bbe@Numbers:10:18 @Then the flag of the children of Reuben went forward with their armies: and at the head of his army was Elizur, the son of Shedeur.

bbe@Numbers:10:21 @Then the Kohathites went forward with the holy place; the others put up the House ready for their coming.

bbe@Numbers:10:22 @Then the flag of the children of Ephraim went forward with their armies: and at the head of his army was Elishama, the son of Ammihud.

bbe@Numbers:10:25 @And the flag of the children of Dan, whose tents were moved last of all, went forward with their armies: and at the head of his army was Ahiezer, the son of Ammishaddai.

bbe@Numbers:10:29 @Then Moses said to Hobab, the son of his father-in-law Reuel the Midianite, We are journeying to that place of which the Lord has said, I will give it to you: so come with us, and it will be for your profit: for the Lord has good things in store for Israel.

bbe@Numbers:10:30 @But he said, I will not go with you, I will go back to the land of my birth and to my relations.

bbe@Numbers:10:32 @And if you come with us, we will give you a part in whatever good the Lord does for us.

bbe@Numbers:10:36 @And when it came to rest, he said, Take rest, O Lord, and give a blessing to the families of Israel.

bbe@Numbers:11:1 @Now the people were saying evil against the Lord; and the Lord, hearing it, was angry and sent fire on them, burning the outer parts of the tent-circle.

bbe@Numbers:11:4 @And the mixed band of people who went with them were overcome by desire: and the children of Israel, weeping again, said, Who will give us flesh for our food?

bbe@Numbers:11:5 @Sweet is the memory of the fish we had in Egypt for nothing, and the fruit and green plants of every sort, sharp and pleasing to the taste:

bbe@Numbers:11:8 @The people went about taking it up from the earth, crushing it between stones or hammering it to powder, and boiling it in pots, and they made cakes of it: its taste was like the taste of cakes cooked with oil.

bbe@Numbers:11:9 @When the dew came down on the tents at night, the manna came down with it.

bbe@Numbers:11:14 @I am not able by myself to take the weight of all this people, for it is more than my strength.

bbe@Numbers:11:16 @And the Lord said to Moses, Send for seventy of the responsible men of Israel, who are in your opinion men of weight and authority over the people; make them come to the Tent of meeting and be there with you.

bbe@Numbers:11:17 @And I will come down and have talk with you there: and I will take some of the spirit which is on you and put it on them, and they will take part of the weight of the people off you, so that you do not have to take it by yourself.

bbe@Numbers:11:18 @And say to the people, Make yourselves clean before tomorrow and you will have flesh for your food: for in the ears of the Lord you have been weeping and saying, Who will give us flesh for food? for we were well off in Egypt: and so the Lord will give you flesh, and it will be your food;

bbe@Numbers:11:20 @But every day for a month, till you are tired of it, turning from it in disgust: because you have gone against the Lord who is with you, and have been weeping before him saying, Why did we come out of Egypt?

bbe@Numbers:11:25 @Then the Lord came down in the cloud and had talk with him, and put on the seventy men some of the spirit which was on him: now when the spirit came to rest on them, they were like prophets, but only at that time.

bbe@Numbers:11:26 @But two men were still in the tent-circle one of them named Eldad and the other Medad: and the spirit came to rest on them; they were among those who had been sent for, but they had not gone out to the Tent: and the prophet's power came on them in the tent-circle.

bbe@Numbers:11:29 @And Moses said to him, Are you moved by envy on my account? If only all the Lord's people were prophets, and the Lord might put his spirit on them!

bbe@Numbers:11:30 @Then Moses, with the responsible men of Israel, went back to the tent-circle.

bbe@Numbers:11:31 @Then the Lord sent a wind, driving little birds from the sea, so that they came down on the tents, and all round the tent-circle, about a day's journey on this side and on that, in masses about two cubits high over the face of the earth.

bbe@Numbers:11:33 @But while the meat was still between their teeth, before it was tasted, the wrath of the Lord was moved against the people and he sent a great outburst of disease on them.

bbe@Numbers:12:1 @Now Miriam and Aaron said evil against Moses, because of the Cushite woman to whom he was married, for he had taken a Cushite woman as his wife.

bbe@Numbers:12:2 @And they said, Have the words of the Lord been given to Moses only? have they not come to us? And the Lord took note of it.

bbe@Numbers:12:8 @With him I will have talk mouth to mouth, openly and not in dark sayings; and with his eyes he will see the form of the Lord: why then had you no fear of saying evil against my servant Moses?

bbe@Numbers:12:9 @And burning with wrath against them, the Lord went away.

bbe@Numbers:12:10 @And the cloud was moved from over the Tent; and straight away Miriam became a leper, as white as snow: and Aaron, looking at Miriam, saw that she was a leper.

bbe@Numbers:13:18 @And see what the land is like; and if the people living in it are strong or feeble, small or great in number;

bbe@Numbers:13:19 @And what sort of land they are living in, if it is good or bad; and what their living-places are, tent-circles or walled towns;

bbe@Numbers:13:20 @And if the land is fertile or poor, and if there is wood in it or not. And be of good heart, and come back with some of the produce of the land. Now it was the time when the first grapes were ready.

bbe@Numbers:13:23 @And they came to the valley of Eshcol, and cutting down a vine-branch with its grapes, two of them took it on a rod between them; and they took some pomegranates and figs.

bbe@Numbers:13:27 @And they said, We came to the land where you sent us, and truly it is flowing with milk and honey: and here is some of the produce of it.

bbe@Numbers:13:29 @And the Amalekites are in the South; and the Hittites and the Jebusites and the Amorites are living in the hill-country; and the Canaanites by the sea and by the side of Jordan.

bbe@Numbers:13:30 @Then Caleb made signs to the people to keep quiet, and said to Moses, Let us go up straight away and take this land; for we are well able to overcome it.

bbe@Numbers:13:31 @But the men who had gone up with him said, We are not able to go up against the people, for they are stronger than we.

bbe@Numbers:13:32 @And they gave the children of Israel a bad account of the land they had been to see, saying, This land through which we went is a land causing destruction to those living in it; and all the people we saw there are men of more than common size.

bbe@Numbers:14:3 @Why is the Lord taking us into this land to come to our death by the sword? Our wives and our little ones will get into strange hands: would it not be better for us to go back to Egypt?

bbe@Numbers:14:8 @And if the Lord has delight in us, he will take us into this land and give it to us, a land flowing with milk and honey.

bbe@Numbers:14:9 @Only, do not go against the Lord or go in fear of the people of the land, for they will be our food; their strength has been taken from them and the Lord is with us: have no fear of them.

bbe@Numbers:14:11 @And the Lord said to Moses, How long will this people have no respect for me? how long will they be without faith, in the face of all the signs I have done among them?

bbe@Numbers:14:12 @I will send disease on them for their destruction, and take away their heritage, and I will make of you a nation greater and stronger than they.

bbe@Numbers:14:13 @And Moses said to the Lord, Then it will come to the ears of the Egyptians; for by your power you took this people out from among them;

bbe@Numbers:14:14 @And they will give the news to the people of this land: they have had word that you, Lord, are present with this people, letting yourself be seen face to face, and that your cloud is resting over them, and that you go before them in a pillar of cloud by day and in a pillar of fire by night.

bbe@Numbers:14:23 @They will not see the land about which I made an oath to their fathers; not one of these by whom I have not been honoured will see it.

bbe@Numbers:14:24 @But my servant Caleb, because he had a different spirit in him, and has been true to me with all his heart, him I will take into that land into which he went, and his seed will have it for their heritage.

bbe@Numbers:14:25 @Now the Amalekites and the Canaanites are in the valley; tomorrow, turning round, go into the waste land by the way to the Red Sea.

bbe@Numbers:14:27 @How long am I to put up with this evil people and their outcries against me? The words which they say against me have come to my ears.

bbe@Numbers:14:31 @And your little ones, whom you said would come into strange hands, I will take in, and they will see the land which you would not have.

bbe@Numbers:14:34 @And as you went through the land viewing it for forty days, so for forty years, a year for every day, you will undergo punishment for your wrongdoing, and you will see that I am against you.

bbe@Numbers:14:35 @I the Lord have said it, and this I will certainly do to all this evil people who have come together against me: in this waste land destruction will come on them, and death will be their fate.

bbe@Numbers:14:41 @And Moses said, Why are you now acting against the Lord's order, seeing that no good will come of it?

bbe@Numbers:14:42 @Go not up, for the Lord is not with you, and you will be overcome by those who are fighting against you.

bbe@Numbers:14:43 @For the Amalekites and the Canaanites are there before you, and you will be put to death by their swords: because you have gone back from the way of the Lord, the Lord will not be with you.

bbe@Numbers:14:45 @Then the Amalekites came down, and the Canaanites who were living in the hill-country, and overcame them completely, driving them back as far as Hormah.

bbe@Numbers:15:3 @And are going to make an offering by fire to the Lord, a burned offering or an offering in connection with an oath, or an offering freely given, or at your regular feasts, an offering for a sweet smell to the Lord, from the herd or the flock:

bbe@Numbers:15:4 @Then let him who is making his offering, give to the Lord a meal offering of a tenth part of a measure of the best meal mixed with a fourth part of a hin of oil:

bbe@Numbers:15:5 @And for the drink offering, you are to give with the burned offering or other offering, the fourth part of a hin of wine for every lamb.

bbe@Numbers:15:6 @Or for a male sheep, give as a meal offering two tenth parts of a measure of the best meal mixed with a third part of a hin of oil:

bbe@Numbers:15:9 @Then with the ox give a meal offering of three tenth parts of a measure of the best meal mixed with half a hin of oil.

bbe@Numbers:15:13 @All those who are Israelites by birth are to do these things in this way, when giving an offering made by fire of a sweet smell to the Lord.

bbe@Numbers:15:15 @There is to be one law for you and for the man of another country living with you, one law for ever from generation to generation; as you are, so is he to be before the Lord.

bbe@Numbers:15:16 @The law and the rule are to be the same for you and for those from other lands living with you.

bbe@Numbers:15:20 @Of the first of your rough meal you are to give a cake for a lifted offering, lifting it up before the Lord as the offering of the grain-floor is lifted up.

bbe@Numbers:15:24 @Then, if the wrong is done in error, without the knowledge of the meeting of the people, let all the meeting give a young ox as a burned offering, a sweet smell to the Lord, with its meal offering and its drink offering, as is ordered in the law, together with a he-goat for a sin-offering.

bbe@Numbers:15:25 @So the priest will make the people free from sin, and they will have forgiveness; for it was an error, and they have given their offering made by fire to the Lord, and their sin-offering before the Lord, on account of their error:

bbe@Numbers:15:26 @And all the meeting of the children of Israel, as well as those from other lands living among them, will have forgiveness; for it was an error on the part of the people.

bbe@Numbers:15:27 @And if one person does wrong, without being conscious of it, then let him give a she-goat of the first year for a sin-offering.

bbe@Numbers:15:29 @The law in connection with wrong done unconsciously is to be the same for him who is an Israelite by birth and for the man from another country who is living among them.

bbe@Numbers:15:30 @But the person who does wrong in the pride of his heart, if he is one of you or of another nation by birth, is acting without respect for the Lord, and will be cut off from his people.

bbe@Numbers:15:31 @Because he had no respect for the word of the Lord, and did not keep his law, that man will be cut off without mercy and his sin will be on him.

bbe@Numbers:15:34 @And they had him shut up, because they had no directions about what was to be done with him.

bbe@Numbers:16:1 @Now Korah, the son of Izhar, the son of Kohath, the son of Levi, with Dathan and Abiram, the sons of Eliab, and On, the son of Pallu, the son of Reuben, made themselves ready,

bbe@Numbers:16:2 @And came before Moses, with certain of the children of Israel, two hundred and fifty chiefs of the people, men of good name who had a place in the meeting of the people.

bbe@Numbers:16:3 @They came together against Moses and against Aaron, and said to them, You take overmuch on yourselves, seeing that all the people are holy, every one of them, and the Lord is among them; why then have you put yourselves in authority over the people of the Lord?

bbe@Numbers:16:9 @Does it seem only a small thing to you that the God of Israel has made you separate from the rest of Israel, letting you come near himself to do the work of the House of the Lord, and to take your place before the people to do what has to be done for them;

bbe@Numbers:16:13 @Is it not enough that you have taken us from a land flowing with milk and honey, to put us to death in the waste land, but now you are desiring to make yourself a chief over us?

bbe@Numbers:16:14 @And more than this, you have not taken us into a land flowing with milk and honey, or given us a heritage of fields and vine-gardens: will you put out the eyes of these men? We will not come up.

bbe@Numbers:16:17 @And let every man take a vessel for burning perfumes, and put sweet spices in them; let every man take his vessel before the Lord, two hundred and fifty vessels; you and Aaron and everyone with his vessel.

bbe@Numbers:16:18 @So every man took his vessel and they put fire in them, with spices, and came to the door of the Tent of meeting with Moses and Aaron.

bbe@Numbers:16:22 @Then falling down on their faces they said, O God, the God of the spirits of all flesh, because of one man's sin will your wrath be moved against all the people?

bbe@Numbers:16:25 @So Moses got up and went to Dathan and Abiram, and the responsible men of Israel went with him.

bbe@Numbers:16:26 @And he said to the people, Come away now from the tents of these evil men, without touching anything of theirs, or you may be taken in the punishment of their sins.

bbe@Numbers:16:27 @So on every side they went away from the tent of Korah Dathan, and Abiram: and Dathan and Abiram came out to the door of their tents, with their wives and their sons and their little ones.

bbe@Numbers:16:30 @But if the Lord does something new, opening the earth to take them in, with everything which is theirs, and they go down living into the underworld, then it will be clear to you that the Lord has not been honoured by these men.

bbe@Numbers:16:32 @And the earth, opening her mouth, took them in, with their families, and all the men who were joined to Korah, and their goods.

bbe@Numbers:16:37 @Say to Eleazar, the son of Aaron the priest, that he is to take out of the flames the vessels with the perfumes in them, turning the fire out of them, for they are holy;

bbe@Numbers:16:38 @And let the vessels of those men, who with their lives have made payment for their sin, be hammered out into plates as a cover for the altar; for they have been offered before the Lord and are holy; so that they may be a sign to the children of Israel.

bbe@Numbers:16:42 @Now when the people had come together against Moses and Aaron, looking in the direction of the Tent of meeting, they saw the cloud covering it, and the glory of the Lord came before their eyes.

bbe@Numbers:16:46 @And Moses said to Aaron, Take your vessel and put in it fire from the altar, and sweet spices, and take it quickly into the meeting of the people, and make them free from sin: for wrath has gone out from the Lord, and the disease is starting.

bbe@Numbers:16:49 @Now fourteen thousand, seven hundred deaths were caused by that disease, in addition to those who came to their end because of what Korah had done.

bbe@Numbers:17:4 @And let them be stored up in the Tent of meeting, in front of the ark of witness where I come to you.

bbe@Numbers:17:5 @And the rod of that man who is marked out by me for myself will have buds on it; so I will put a stop to the outcries which the children of Israel make to me against you.

bbe@Numbers:17:7 @And Moses put the rods before the Lord in the Tent of witness.

bbe@Numbers:17:8 @Now on the day after, Moses went into the Tent of witness; and he saw that Aaron's rod, the rod of the house of Levi, had put out buds, and was covered with buds and flowers and fruit.

bbe@Numbers:17:10 @And the Lord said to Moses, Put Aaron's rod back in front of the ark of witness, to be kept for a sign against this false-hearted people, so that you may put a stop to their outcries against me, and death may not overtake them.

bbe@Numbers:18:2 @Let your brothers, the family of Levi, come near with you, so that they may be joined with you and be your servants: but you and your sons with you are to go in before the ark of witness.

bbe@Numbers:18:4 @They are to be joined with you in the care of the Tent of meeting, doing whatever is needed for the Tent: and no one of any other family may come near you.

bbe@Numbers:18:6 @Now, see, I have taken your brothers the Levites from among the children of Israel: they are given to you and to the Lord, to do the work of the Tent of meeting.

bbe@Numbers:18:7 @And you and your sons with you are to be responsible as priests for the altar and everything on it, and everything inside the veil; you are to do the work of priests; I have given you your position as priests; and any other man who comes near will be put to death.

bbe@Numbers:18:8 @And the Lord said to Aaron, See, I have given into your care my lifted offerings; even all the holy things of the children of Israel I have given to you and to your sons as your right for ever, because you have been marked with the holy oil.

bbe@Numbers:18:10 @As most holy things they are to be your food: let every male have them for food; it is to be holy to you

bbe@Numbers:18:12 @All the best of the oil and the wine and the grain, the first-fruits of them which they give to the Lord, to you have I given them.

bbe@Numbers:18:13 @The earliest produce from their land which they take to the Lord is to be yours; everyone in your house who is clean may have it for his food.

bbe@Numbers:18:18 @Their flesh is to be yours; like the breast of the wave offering and the right leg, it is to be yours.

bbe@Numbers:18:19 @All the lifted offerings of the holy things which the children of Israel give to the Lord, I have given to you and to your sons and to your daughters as a right for ever. This is an agreement made with salt before the Lord, to you and to your seed for ever.

bbe@Numbers:18:20 @And the Lord said to Aaron, You will have no heritage in their land, or any part among them; I am your part and your heritage among the children of Israel.

bbe@Numbers:18:21 @And to the children of Levi I have given as their heritage all the tenths offered in Israel, as payment for the work they do, the work of the Tent of meeting.

bbe@Numbers:18:23 @But the Levites are to do the work of the Tent of meeting, and be responsible for errors in connection with it: this is a law for ever through all your generations; and among the children of Israel they will have no heritage.

bbe@Numbers:18:24 @For the tenths which the children of Israel give as a lifted offering to the Lord I have given to the Levites as their heritage. and so I have said to them, Among the children of Israel they will have no heritage.

bbe@Numbers:18:26 @Say to the Levites, When you take from the children of Israel the tenth which I have given to you from them as your heritage, a tenth part of that tenth is to be offered as an offering lifted up before the Lord.

bbe@Numbers:18:27 @And this lifted offering is to be put to your credit as if it was grain from the grain-floor and wine from the vines.

bbe@Numbers:18:28 @So you are to make an offering lifted up to the Lord from all the tenths which you get from the children of Israel, giving out of it the Lord's lifted offering to Aaron the priest.

bbe@Numbers:18:29 @From everything given to you, let the best of it, the holy part of it, be offered as a lifted offering to the Lord.

bbe@Numbers:18:30 @Say to them, then, When the best of it is lifted up on high, it is to be put to the account of the Levites as the increase of the grain-floor and of the place where the grapes are crushed.

bbe@Numbers:18:31 @It is to be your food, for you and your families in every place: it is your reward for your work in the Tent of meeting.

bbe@Numbers:18:32 @And no sin will be yours on account of it, when the best of it has been lifted up on high; you are not to make a wrong use of the holy things of the children of Israel, so that death may not overtake you.

bbe@Numbers:19:2 @This is the rule of the law which the Lord has made, saying, Give orders to the children of Israel to give you a red cow without any mark on her, and on which the yoke has never been put:

bbe@Numbers:19:9 @Then let a man who is clean take the dust of the burned cow and put it outside the tent-circle in a clean place, where it is to be kept for the children of Israel and used in making the water which takes away what is unclean: it is a sin-offering.

bbe@Numbers:19:10 @And he who takes up the dust of the burned cow is to have his clothing washed with water and be unclean till evening: this is to be a law for ever, for the children of Israel as well as for the man from another country who is living among them

bbe@Numbers:19:12 @On the third day and on the seventh day he is to make himself clean with the water, and so he will be clean: but if he does not do this on the third day and on the seventh day, he will not be clean.

bbe@Numbers:19:13 @Anyone touching the body of a dead man without making himself clean in this way, makes the House of the Lord unclean; and that man will be cut off from Israel: because the water was not put on him, he will be unclean; his unclean condition is unchanged.

bbe@Numbers:19:15 @And every open vessel without a cover fixed on it will be unclean.

bbe@Numbers:19:16 @And anyone touching one who has been put to death with the sword in the open country, or the body of one who has come to his end by a natural death, or a man's bone, or the resting-place of a dead body, will be unclean for seven days.

bbe@Numbers:19:17 @And for the unclean, they are to take the dust of the burning of the sin-offering, and put flowing water on it in a vessel:

bbe@Numbers:19:18 @And a clean person is to take hyssop and put it in the water, shaking it over the tent, and all the vessels, and the people who were there, and over him by whom the bone, or the body of one who has been put to death with the sword, or the body of one who has come to his end by a natural death, or the resting-place was touched.

bbe@Numbers:19:22 @Anything touched by the unclean person will be unclean; and any person touching it will be unclean till evening.

bbe@Numbers:20:3 @And the people were angry with Moses and said, If only death had overtaken us when our brothers came to their death before the Lord!

bbe@Numbers:20:5 @Why have you made us come out of Egypt into this evil place? This is no place of seed or figs or vines or other fruits, and there is no water for drinking.

bbe@Numbers:20:8 @Take the rod, you and Aaron, your brother, and make all the people come together, and before their eyes give orders to the rock to give out its water; and so make water come out of the rock for them, and give the people and their cattle drink.

bbe@Numbers:20:11 @And lifting up his hand, Moses gave the rock two blows with his rod: and water came streaming out, and the people and their cattle had drink enough.

bbe@Numbers:20:12 @Then the Lord said to Moses and Aaron, Because you had not enough faith in me to keep my name holy before the children of Israel, you will not take this people into the land which I have given them

bbe@Numbers:20:17 @Let us now go through your land: we will not go into field or vine-garden, or take the water of the springs; we will go by the highway, not turning to the right or to the left, till we have gone past the limits of your land.

bbe@Numbers:20:18 @And Edom said, You are not to go through my land, for if you do I will come out against you with the sword.

bbe@Numbers:20:19 @And the children of Israel said to him, We will go up by the highway: and if we or our cattle take of your water, we will give you a price for it: only let us go through on our feet, nothing more.

bbe@Numbers:20:20 @But he said, You are not to go through. And Edom came out against them in his strength, with a great army.

bbe@Numbers:20:22 @And they went on from Kadesh, and came, with all their people, to Mount Hor.

bbe@Numbers:20:24 @Aaron will be put to rest with his people; he will not go into the land which I have given to the children of Israel, because you went against my word at the waters of Meribah.

bbe@Numbers:20:26 @And take Aaron's robes off him and put them on Eleazar, his son: and death will come to Aaron there, and he will be put to rest with his people.

bbe@Numbers:21:1 @And it came to the ears of the Canaanite, the king of Arad, living in the South, that Israel was coming by the way of Atharim, and he came out against them and took some of them prisoners.

bbe@Numbers:21:3 @And the Lord, in answer to the voice of Israel, gave the Canaanites up to them; and they put them and their towns completely to destruction: and that place was named Hormah.

bbe@Numbers:21:4 @Then they went on from Mount Hor by the way to the Red Sea, going round the land of Edom: and the spirit of the people was overcome with weariness on the way.

bbe@Numbers:21:6 @Then the Lord sent poison-snakes among the people; and their bites were a cause of death to numbers of the people of Israel.

bbe@Numbers:21:8 @And the Lord said to Moses, Make an image of a snake and put it on a rod, and anyone who has been wounded by the snakes, looking on it will be made well.

bbe@Numbers:21:9 @So Moses made a snake of brass and put it on a rod; and anyone who had a snakebite, after looking on the snake of brass, was made well.

bbe@Numbers:21:13 @From there they went on and put up their tents on the other side of the Arnon, which is on the waste land at the edge of the land of the Amorites; for the Arnon is the line of division between Moab and the Amorites:

bbe@Numbers:21:14 @As it says in the book of the Wars of the Lord, Vaheb in Suphah, and the valley of the Amon;

bbe@Numbers:21:17 @Then Israel gave voice to this song: Come up, O water-spring, let us make a song to it:

bbe@Numbers:21:18 @The fountain made by the chiefs, made deep by the great ones of the people, with the law-givers' rod, and with their sticks. Then from the waste land they went on to Mattanah:

bbe@Numbers:21:21 @And Israel sent men to Sihon, king of the Amorites, saying,

bbe@Numbers:21:22 @Let me go through your land: we will not go into field or vine-garden, or take the water of the springs; we will go by the highway till we have gone past the limits of your land.

bbe@Numbers:21:25 @And Israel took all their towns, living in Heshbon and all the towns and small places of the Amorites.

bbe@Numbers:21:26 @For Heshbon was the town of Sihon, king of the Amorites, who had made war against an earlier king of Moab and taken from him all his land as far as the Arnon.

bbe@Numbers:21:27 @So the makers of wise sayings say, Come to Heshbon, building up the town of Sihon and making it strong:

bbe@Numbers:21:29 @Sorrow is yours, O Moab! Destruction is your fate, O people of Chemosh: his sons have gone in flight, and his daughters are prisoners, in the hands of Sihon, king of the Amorites.

bbe@Numbers:21:30 @They are wounded with our arrows; destruction has come on Heshbon, even to Dibon; and we have made the land waste as far as Nophah, stretching out to Medeba.

bbe@Numbers:21:31 @So Israel put up their tents in the land of the Amorites.

bbe@Numbers:21:32 @And Moses sent men secretly to Jazer, and they took its towns, driving out the Amorites who were living there.

bbe@Numbers:21:33 @Then turning they went up by the way of Bashan; and Og, king of Bashan, went out against them with all his people, to the fight at Edrei.

bbe@Numbers:21:34 @And the Lord said to Moses, Have no fear of him: for I have given him up into your hands, with all his people and his land; do to him as you did to Sihon, king of the Amorites, at Heshbon.

bbe@Numbers:21:35 @So they overcame him and his sons and his people, driving them all out: and they took his land for their heritage.

bbe@Numbers:22:2 @Now Balak, the son of Zippor, saw what Israel had done to the Amorites.

bbe@Numbers:22:3 @And in Moab there was great fear of the people, because their numbers were so great: and the feeling of Moab was bitter against the children of Israel.

bbe@Numbers:22:4 @Then Moab said to the responsible men of Midian, It is clear that this great people will be the destruction of everything round us, making a meal of us as the ox does of the grass of the field. At that time Balak, the son of Zippor, was king of Moab.

bbe@Numbers:22:5 @So he sent men to Balaam, son of Beor, at Pethor by the River in the land of the children of his people, saying to him, See, a people has come out of Egypt, covering all the face of the earth, and they have put up their tents opposite to me:

bbe@Numbers:22:6 @Come now, in answer to my prayer, and put a curse on this people, for they are greater than I: and then I may be strong enough to overcome them and send them out of the land: for it is clear that good comes to him who has your blessing, but he on whom you put your curse is cursed.

bbe@Numbers:22:8 @And he said to them, Take your rest here tonight, and I will give you an answer after hearing what the Lord says; so the chiefs of Moab kept there with Balaam that night.

bbe@Numbers:22:9 @And God came to Balaam and said, Who are these men with you?

bbe@Numbers:22:12 @And God said to Balaam, You are not to go with them, or put a curse on this people, for they have my blessing.

bbe@Numbers:22:13 @In the morning Balaam got up and said to the chiefs of Balak, Go back to your land, for the Lord will not let me go with you.

bbe@Numbers:22:14 @So the chiefs of Moab went back to Balak and said, Balaam will not come with us.

bbe@Numbers:22:15 @So Balak sent more chiefs, greater in number and of higher position than the others.

bbe@Numbers:22:18 @But Balaam, in answer; said to the servants of Balak, Even if Balak gave me his house full of silver and gold, it would not be possible for me to do anything more or less than the orders of the Lord my God.

bbe@Numbers:22:20 @And that night God came to Balaam and said to him, If these men have come for you, go with them: but do only what I say to you.

bbe@Numbers:22:21 @So in the morning Balaam got up and, making his ass ready, went with the chiefs of Moab.

bbe@Numbers:22:22 @But God was moved to wrath because he went: and the angel of the Lord took up a position in the road to keep him from his purpose. Now he was seated on his ass, and his two servants were with him.

bbe@Numbers:22:23 @And the ass saw the angel of the Lord waiting in the road with his sword in his hand; and turning from the road, the ass went into the field; and Balaam gave the ass blows, to get her back on to the road.

bbe@Numbers:22:24 @Then the angel of the Lord took up his position in a narrow road through the vine-gardens, with a wall on this side and on that.

bbe@Numbers:22:27 @And the ass saw the angel of the Lord and went down on the earth under Balaam; and full of wrath, Balaam gave her hard blows with his stick.

bbe@Numbers:22:31 @Then the Lord made Balaam's eyes open, and he saw the angel of the Lord in the way with his sword in his hand: and he went down on his face to the earth.

bbe@Numbers:22:34 @And Balaam said to the angel of the Lord, I have done wrong, for I did not see that you were in the way against me: but now, if it is evil in your eyes, I will go back again.

bbe@Numbers:22:35 @And the angel of the Lord said to Balaam, Go with the men; but say only what I give you to say. Then Balaam went on with the chiefs of Balak.

bbe@Numbers:22:37 @And Balak said to Balaam, Did I not send to you, requesting you with all my heart to come to me? why did you not come? am I not able to give you a place of honour?

bbe@Numbers:22:39 @And Balaam went with Balak to Kiriath-huzoth.

bbe@Numbers:22:40 @And Balak made offerings of oxen and sheep, and sent to Balaam and the chiefs who were with him.

bbe@Numbers:22:41 @And in the morning Balak took Balaam up to the high places of Baal, and from there he was able to see the outer limits of the people.

bbe@Numbers:23:6 @So he went back to him where he was waiting by his burned offering with all the chiefs of Moab.

bbe@Numbers:23:7 @And in the words which the Lord had given him he said, From Aram Balak has sent for me, the king of Moab from the mountains of the East: come, put curses on Jacob for me and be angry with Israel.

bbe@Numbers:23:8 @How may I put curses on him who is not cursed by God? how may I be angry with him with whom the Lord is not angry?

bbe@Numbers:23:9 @From the top of the rocks I see him, looking down on him from the hills: it is a people made separate, not to be numbered among the nations.

bbe@Numbers:23:13 @And Balak said to him, Come with me now into another place from which you will not be able to see them all, but only the outskirts of them; and you will send curses on them from there.

bbe@Numbers:23:17 @So he came to him where he was waiting by his burned offering with the chiefs of Moab by his side. And Balak said to him, What has the Lord said?

bbe@Numbers:23:21 @He has seen no evil in Jacob or wrongdoing in Israel: the Lord his God is with him, and the glad cry of a king is among them.

bbe@Numbers:23:22 @It is God who has taken them out of Egypt; his horns are like those of the mountain ox.

bbe@Numbers:23:23 @No evil power has effect against Jacob, no secret arts against Israel; at the right time it will be said of Jacob and of Israel, See what God has done!

bbe@Numbers:23:27 @Then Balak said to Balaam, Come now, I will take you to another place; it may be that God will let you put a curse on them from there.

bbe@Numbers:24:1 @Now when Balaam saw that it was the Lord's pleasure to give his blessing to Israel, he did not, as at other times, make use of secret arts, but turning his face to the waste land,

bbe@Numbers:24:2 @And lifting up his eyes, he saw Israel there, with their tents in the order of their tribes: and the spirit of God came on him.

bbe@Numbers:24:3 @And moved by the spirit, he said, These are the words of Balaam, son of Beor, the words of the man whose eyes are open:

bbe@Numbers:24:8 @It is God who has taken him out of Egypt; his horns are like those of the mountain ox; the nations warring against him will be his food, their bones will be broken, they will be wounded with his arrows.

bbe@Numbers:24:11 @Go back quickly to the place you came from: it was my purpose to give you a place of honour, but now the Lord has kept you back from honour.

bbe@Numbers:24:13 @Even if Balak gave me his house full of silver and gold, it would not be possible for me to go outside the orders of the Lord, doing good or evil at the impulse of my mind; whatever the Lord says I will say?

bbe@Numbers:24:15 @Then he went on with his story and said, These are the words of Balaam, the son of Beor, the words of him whose eyes are open:

bbe@Numbers:24:17 @I see him, but not now: looking on him, but not near: a star will come out of Jacob, and a rod of authority out of Israel, sending destruction to the farthest limits of Moab and on the head of all the sons of Sheth.

bbe@Numbers:24:18 @Edom will be his heritage, and he will put an end to the last of the people of Seir.

bbe@Numbers:24:20 @Then, turning his eyes to Amalek, he went on with his story and said, Amalek was the first of the nations, but his part will be destruction for ever

bbe@Numbers:24:21 @And looking on the Kenites he went on with his story and said, Strong is your living-place, and your secret place is safe in the rock.

bbe@Numbers:24:22 @But still the Kenites will be wasted, till Asshur takes you away prisoner.

bbe@Numbers:24:23 @Then he went on with his story and said, But who may keep his life when God does this?

bbe@Numbers:24:24 @But ships will come from the direction of Kittim, troubling Asshur and troubling Eber, and like the others their fate will be destruction.

bbe@Numbers:25:1 @Now when Israel was living in Shittim the people became false to the Lord, doing evil with the daughters of Moab:

bbe@Numbers:25:3 @So Israel had relations with the women of Moab in honour of the Baal of Peor: and the Lord was moved to wrath against Israel.

bbe@Numbers:25:5 @So Moses said to the judges of Israel, Let everyone put to death those of his men who have had relations with the women of Moab in honour of the Baal of Peor.

bbe@Numbers:25:6 @Then one of the children of Israel came to his brothers, taking with him a woman of Midian, before the eyes of Moses and all the meeting of the people, while they were weeping at the door of the Tent of meeting.

bbe@Numbers:25:7 @And Phinehas, the son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron the priest, seeing it, got up from among the people and took a spear in his hand,

bbe@Numbers:25:12 @So say to them that I will make with him an agreement of peace:

bbe@Numbers:25:14 @Now the man of Israel who was put to death with the woman of Midian was Zimri, the son of Salu, a chief of one of the families of the Simeonites.

bbe@Numbers:25:17 @Take up arms against the Midianites and overcome them;

bbe@Numbers:25:18 @For they are a danger to you with their false ways, causing sin to come on you in the question of Peor, and because of Cozbi, their sister, the daughter of the chief of Midian, who was put to death at the time of the disease which came on you because of Peor.

bbe@Numbers:26:5 @Reuben, the first son of Israel: the sons of Reuben by their families: of Hanoch, the family of the Hanochites: of Pallu, the family of the Palluites:

bbe@Numbers:26:62 @Of these, twenty-three thousand males, from one month old and over, were numbered: they were not numbered with the rest of the children of Israel, for they had no heritage among the children of Israel.

bbe@Numbers:27:3 @Death overtook our father in the waste land; he was not among those who were banded together with Korah against the Lord; but death came to him in his sin; and he had no sons.

bbe@Numbers:27:4 @Why is the name of our father to be taken away from among his family, because he had no son? Give us a heritage among our father's brothers.

bbe@Numbers:27:7 @What the daughters of Zelophehad say is right: certainly you are to give them a heritage among their father's brothers: and let the property which would have been their father's go to them.

bbe@Numbers:27:8 @And say to the children of Israel, If a man has no son at the time of his death, let his heritage go to his daughter.

bbe@Numbers:27:9 @And if he has no daughter, then give his heritage to his brothers.

bbe@Numbers:27:10 @And if he has no brothers, then give his heritage to his father's brothers.

bbe@Numbers:27:11 @And if his father has no brothers, then give it to his nearest relation in the family, as his heritage: this is to be a decision made by law for the children of Israel, as the Lord gave orders to Moses.

bbe@Numbers:27:13 @And when you have seen it, you will be put to rest with your people, as your brother Aaron was:

bbe@Numbers:27:16 @Let the Lord, the God of the spirits of all flesh, put a man at the head of this people,

bbe@Numbers:27:17 @To go out and come in before them and be their guide; so that the people of the Lord may not be like sheep without a keeper.

bbe@Numbers:27:18 @And the Lord said to Moses, Take Joshua, the son of Nun, a man in whom is the spirit, and put your hand on him;

bbe@Numbers:27:20 @And put your honour on him, so that all the children of Israel may be under his authority.

bbe@Numbers:27:21 @He will take his place before Eleazar the priest, so that he may get directions from the Lord for him, with the Urim: at his word they will go out, and at his word they will come in, he and all the children of Israel.

bbe@Numbers:28:2 @Give orders to the children of Israel and say to them, Let it be your care to give me my offerings at their regular times, the food of the offerings made by fire to me for a sweet smell.

bbe@Numbers:30:3 @If a woman, being young and under the authority of her father, takes an oath to the Lord or gives an undertaking;

bbe@Numbers:30:5 @But if her father, hearing of it, makes her take back her word, then the oaths or the undertakings she has given will have no force; and she will have forgiveness from the Lord, because her oath was broken by her father.

bbe@Numbers:30:6 @And if she is married to a husband at the time when she is under an oath or an undertaking given without thought;

bbe@Numbers:30:7 @If her husband, hearing of it, says nothing to her at the time, then the oaths she made and the undertakings she gave will have force.

bbe@Numbers:30:8 @But if her husband, hearing of it, makes her take it back, then the oath she made and the undertaking she gave without thought will have no force or effect, and she will have the Lord's forgiveness.

bbe@Numbers:30:10 @If she made an oath while she was under the authority of her husband,

bbe@Numbers:30:11 @And her husband, hearing of it, said nothing to her and did not put a stop to it, then all her oaths and every undertaking she gave will have force.

bbe@Numbers:30:12 @But if her husband, on hearing of it, made them without force or effect, then whatever she has said about her oaths or her undertaking has no force: her husband has made them without effect, and she will have the Lord's forgiveness.

bbe@Numbers:30:14 @But if the days go on, and her husband says nothing whatever to her, then he is giving the support of his authority to her oaths and undertakings, because at the time of hearing them he said nothing to her.

bbe@Numbers:30:15 @But if at some time after hearing of them, he makes them without force, then he is responsible for her wrongdoing.

bbe@Numbers:30:16 @These are the laws which the Lord gave Moses in relation to a man and his wife, or a father and a young daughter who is under his authority.

bbe@Numbers:31:2 @Give the Midianites punishment for the wrong they did to the children of Israel: and after that you will go to rest with your people.

bbe@Numbers:31:6 @And Moses sent them out to war, a thousand from every tribe, and with them Phinehas, the son of Eleazar the priest, taking in his hands the vessels of the holy place and the horns for sounding the note of war.

bbe@Numbers:31:8 @They put the kings of Midian to death with the rest, Evi and Reken and Zur and Hur and Reba, the five kings of Midian: and Balaam, the son of Beor, they put to death with the sword.

bbe@Numbers:31:9 @The women of Midian with their little ones the children of Israel took prisoner; and all their cattle and flocks and all their goods they took for themselves;

bbe@Numbers:31:11 @They went away with the goods they had taken, man and beast.

bbe@Numbers:31:14 @And Moses was angry with the chiefs of the army, the captains of thousands and the captains of hundreds who had come back from the war.

bbe@Numbers:31:16 @It was these who, moved by Balaam, were the cause of Israel's sin against the Lord in the question of Peor, because of which disease came on the people of the Lord.

bbe@Numbers:31:17 @So now put every male child to death, and every woman who has had sex relations with a man.

bbe@Numbers:31:18 @But all the female children who have had no sex relations with men, you may keep for yourselves.

bbe@Numbers:31:20 @And every bit of clothing, and anything made of leather or goats' hair or wood, you are to make clean.

bbe@Numbers:31:23 @And anything which may be heated, is to go through the fire and be made clean; but in addition it is to be put in the water of cleaning: and anything which may not go through the fire is to be put in the water.

bbe@Numbers:31:27 @And let division be made of it into two parts, one for the men of war who went out to the fight, and one for all the people:

bbe@Numbers:31:29 @Take this from their part and give it to Eleazar the priest as an offering to be lifted up to the Lord.

bbe@Numbers:31:30 @And from the part given to the children of Israel, take one out of every fifty, from the persons, and from the oxen and asses and sheep, and give it to the Levites who have the care of the House of the Lord.

bbe@Numbers:31:32 @Now the beasts taken, in addition to what the fighting-men took for themselves, were six hundred and seventy-five thousand sheep,

bbe@Numbers:31:35 @And thirty-two thousand persons, that is, women who had never had sex relations with a man.

bbe@Numbers:31:47 @Even from the children of Israel's half, Moses took one out of every fifty, men and beasts, and gave them to the Levites who had the care of the House of the Lord; as the Lord gave orders to Moses.

bbe@Numbers:31:48 @Then the men in authority over the thousands of the army, the captains of thousands and captains of hundreds, came to Moses,

bbe@Numbers:31:54 @Then Moses and Eleazar the priest took the gold given by the captains of thousands and captains of hundreds, and took it into the Tent of meeting, to be a sign in memory of the children of Israel before the Lord.

bbe@Numbers:32:5 @And they said, With your approval, let this land be given to your servants as their heritage: do not take us over Jordan.

bbe@Numbers:32:11 @Truly, not one of the men of twenty years old and over who came out of Egypt will see the land which I gave by oath to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob; because they have not been true to me with all their heart;

bbe@Numbers:32:12 @But only Caleb, the son of Jephunneh the Kenizzite, and Joshua, the son of Nun: because they have been true to the Lord.

bbe@Numbers:32:13 @Then the Lord was angry with Israel, and he made them wanderers in the waste land for forty years? till all that generation who had done evil in the eyes of the Lord was dead.

bbe@Numbers:32:16 @Then they came to him, and said, We will make safe places for our cattle here, and towns for our little ones;

bbe@Numbers:32:17 @But we ourselves will be ready armed to go before the children of Israel till we have taken them to their place: but our little ones will be safe in the walled towns against the people of the land.

bbe@Numbers:32:18 @We will not come back to our houses till every one of the children of Israel has come into his heritage.

bbe@Numbers:32:19 @For we will not have our heritage with them on the other side of Jordan and forward; because our heritage has come to us on this side of Jordan to the east.

bbe@Numbers:32:22 @And the land is under the rule of the Lord: then after that you may come back, having done no wrong to the Lord and to Israel; and this land will be yours for your heritage before the Lord.

bbe@Numbers:32:23 @But if you do not do this, then you are sinners against the Lord; and you may be certain that your sin will have its reward

bbe@Numbers:32:24 @So get to work building your towns for your little ones, and safe places for your sheep; and do as you have said.

bbe@Numbers:32:26 @Our little ones, our wives, and our flocks, and all our cattle, will be there in the towns of Gilead;

bbe@Numbers:32:29 @And Moses said to them, If the children of Gad and the children of Reuben go with you over Jordan, every man armed for the fight before the Lord, and all the land is given into your hands, then let them have the land of Gilead for a heritage:

bbe@Numbers:32:30 @But if they do not go over with you armed, they will have to take their heritage with you in the land of Canaan.

bbe@Numbers:32:32 @We will go over armed before the Lord into the land of Canaan, and you will give us our heritage on this side of Jordan.

bbe@Numbers:32:33 @So Moses gave to them, even to the children of Gad and the children of Reuben and to the half-tribe of Manasseh, the son of Joseph, the kingdom of Sihon, king of the Amorites and Og, king of Bashan, all the land with its towns and the country round them.

bbe@Numbers:32:39 @And the children of Machir, the son of Manasseh, went to Gilead and took it, driving out the Amorites who were living there.

bbe@Numbers:32:40 @And Moses gave Gilead to Machir, the son of Manasseh; and he made it his living-place.

bbe@Numbers:32:42 @And Nobah went and took Kenath and its small towns, naming it Nobah, after himself.

bbe@Numbers:33:2 @And the stages of their journey on their way out were put down in writing by Moses at the order of the Lord: these are the stages of their journey and the way they went.

bbe@Numbers:33:18 @And they went on from Hazeroth, and put up their tents in Rithmah.

bbe@Numbers:33:19 @And they went on from Rithmah, and put up their tents in Rimmon-perez.

bbe@Numbers:33:28 @And they went on from Terah, and put up their tents in Mithkah.

bbe@Numbers:33:29 @And they went on from Mithkah, and put up their tents in Hashmonah.

bbe@Numbers:33:40 @And news of the coming of the children of Israel came to the king of Arad, the Canaanite, who was living in the South in the land of Canaan.

bbe@Numbers:33:49 @Planting their tents by the side of Jordan from Beth-jeshimoth as far as Abel-shittim in the lowlands of Moab.

bbe@Numbers:33:53 @And take the land for yourselves, for your resting-place: for to you I have given the land as your heritage.

bbe@Numbers:33:54 @And you will take up your heritage in the land by the decision of the Lord, to every family its part; the greater the family the greater its heritage, and the smaller the family the smaller will be its heritage; wherever the decision of the Lord gives to any man his part, that will be his; distribution will be made to you by your fathers' tribes.

bbe@Numbers:33:56 @And it will come about that as it was my purpose to do to them, so I will do to you.

bbe@Numbers:34:2 @Give orders to the children of Israel and say to them, When you come into the land of Canaan; (this is the land which is to be your heritage, the land of Canaan inside these limits,)

bbe@Numbers:34:3 @Then your south quarter will be from the waste land of Zin by the side of Edom, and your limit on the south will be from the east end of the Salt Sea,

bbe@Numbers:34:4 @And round to the south of the slope of Akrabbim, and on to Zin: and its direction will be south of Kadesh-barnea, and it will go as far as Hazar-addar and on to Azmon:

bbe@Numbers:34:5 @And from Azmon it will go round to the stream of Egypt as far as the sea.

bbe@Numbers:34:6 @And for your limit on the west you will have the Great Sea and its edge: this will be your limit on the west.

bbe@Numbers:34:7 @And your limit on the north will be the line from the Great Sea to Mount Hor:

bbe@Numbers:34:8 @And from Mount Hor the line will go in the direction of Hamath; the farthest point of it will be at Zedad:

bbe@Numbers:34:9 @And the limit will go on to Ziphron, with its farthest point at Hazar-enan: this will be your limit on the north.

bbe@Numbers:34:10 @And on the east, your limit will be marked out from Hazar-enan to Shepham,

bbe@Numbers:34:12 @And so down to Jordan, stretching to the Salt Sea: all the land inside these limits will be yours.

bbe@Numbers:34:13 @And Moses gave orders to the children of Israel saying, This is the land which is to be your heritage, by the decision of the Lord, which by the Lord's order is to be given to the nine tribes and the half-tribe:

bbe@Numbers:34:14 @For the tribe of the children of Reuben, by their fathers' families, and the tribe of the children of Gad, by their fathers' families, and the half-tribe of Manasseh, have been given their heritage:

bbe@Numbers:34:15 @The two tribes and the half-tribe have been given their heritage on the other side of Jordan at Jericho, on the east looking to the dawn.

bbe@Numbers:34:29 @These are they to whom the Lord gave orders to make the distribution of the heritage among the children of Israel in the land of Canaan.

bbe@Numbers:35:2 @Give orders to the children of Israel to give to the Levites, from the heritage which is theirs, towns for themselves, with land on the outskirts of the towns.

bbe@Numbers:35:3 @These towns are to be their living-places, with land round them for their cattle and their food and all their beasts,

bbe@Numbers:35:4 @Stretching from the wall of the towns a distance of a thousand cubits all round.

bbe@Numbers:35:5 @The measure of this space of land is to be two thousand cubits outside the town on the east, and two thousand cubits on the south and on the west and on the north, the town being in the middle. This space will be the outskirts of their towns.

bbe@Numbers:35:6 @And the towns which you give the Levites are to be the six safe places to which the taker of life may go in flight; and in addition you are to give them forty-two towns.

bbe@Numbers:35:7 @Forty-eight towns are to be given to the Levites, all with land round them.

bbe@Numbers:35:8 @And these towns are to be given out of the heritage of the children of Israel, taking the greater number from those who have much, and a smaller number from those who have little: everyone, in the measure of his heritage, is to give of his property to the Levites.

bbe@Numbers:35:16 @But if a man gives another man a blow with an iron instrument, causing his death, he is a taker of life and is certainly to be put to death.

bbe@Numbers:35:17 @Or if he gives him a blow with a stone in his hand, causing his death, he is a taker of life and is certainly to be put to death.

bbe@Numbers:35:18 @Or if he gave him blows with a wood instrument in his hands, causing his death, he is a taker of life and is certainly to be put to death.

bbe@Numbers:35:19 @He whose right it is to give punishment for blood, may himself put to death the taker of life when he comes face to face with him.

bbe@Numbers:35:20 @If in his hate he put a sword through him, or waiting secretly for him sent a spear or stone at him, causing his death;

bbe@Numbers:35:21 @Or in hate gave him blows with his hand, causing death; he who gave the death-blow is to be put to death; he is a taker of life: he whose right it is to give punishment for blood may put to death the taker of life when he comes face to face with him.

bbe@Numbers:35:22 @But if a man has given a wound to another suddenly and not in hate, or without design has sent something against him,

bbe@Numbers:35:23 @Or has given him a blow with a stone, without seeing him, so causing his death, though he had nothing against him and no desire to do him evil:

bbe@Numbers:35:25 @And let the people keep the man responsible for the death safe from the hands of him who has the right of punishment for blood, and send him back to his safe town where he had gone in flight: there let him be till the death of the high priest who was marked with the holy oil.

bbe@Numbers:35:28 @Because he had been ordered to keep inside the safe town till the death of the high priest: but after the death of the high priest the taker of life may come back to the place of his heritage.

bbe@Numbers:35:30 @Anyone causing the death of another is himself to be put to death on the word of witnesses: but the word of one witness is not enough.

bbe@Numbers:35:33 @So do not make the land where you are living unholy: for blood makes the land unholy: and there is no way of making the land free from the blood which has come on it, but only by the death of him who was the cause of it.

bbe@Numbers:36:2 @And said, The Lord gave orders to my lord to make distribution of the land as their heritage to the children of Israel: and my lord was ordered by the Lord to give the heritage of Zelophehad, our brother, to his daughters.

bbe@Numbers:36:3 @Now if they get married to any of the sons of other tribes of the children of Israel, then their property will be taken away from the heritage of our fathers, and become part of the heritage of the tribe into which they get married: and their heritage will be taken away from the heritage of our tribe.

bbe@Numbers:36:4 @And at the time of the Jubilee of the children of Israel, their property will be joined to the heritage of the tribe of which they are part and will be taken away from the heritage of the tribe of our fathers.

bbe@Numbers:36:7 @And so no property will be handed from tribe to tribe among the children of Israel; but every one of the children of Israel will keep the heritage of his father's tribe.

bbe@Numbers:36:8 @And every daughter owning property in any tribe of the children of Israel is to be married to one of the family of her father's tribe, so that every man of the children of Israel may keep the heritage of his fathers.

bbe@Numbers:36:9 @And no property will be handed from one tribe to another, but every tribe of the children of Israel will keep its heritage.

bbe@Deuteronomy:1:1 @These are the words which Moses said to all Israel on the far side of Jordan, in the waste land in the Arabah opposite Suph, between Paran on the one side, and Tophel, Laban, Hazeroth, and Dizahab on the other.

bbe@Deuteronomy:1:2 @It is eleven days' journey from Horeb by the way of Mount Seir to Kadesh-barnea.

bbe@Deuteronomy:1:4 @After he had overcome Sihon, king of the Amorites, ruling in Heshbon, and Og, king of Bashan, ruling in Ashtaroth, at Edrei:

bbe@Deuteronomy:1:7 @Make a move now, and go on your way into the hill-country of the Amorites and the places near it, in the Arabah and the hill-country and in the lowlands and in the South and by the seaside, all the land of the Canaanites, and Lebanon, as far as the great river, the river Euphrates.

bbe@Deuteronomy:1:12 @How is it possible for me by myself to be responsible for you, and undertake the weight of all your troubles and your arguments?

bbe@Deuteronomy:1:14 @And you made answer and said to me, It is good for us to do as you say.

bbe@Deuteronomy:1:16 @And at that time I gave orders to your judges, saying, Let all questions between your brothers come before you for hearing, and give decisions uprightly between a man and his brother or one from another nation who is with him.

bbe@Deuteronomy:1:17 @In judging, do not let a man's position have any weight with you; give hearing equally to small and great; have no fear of any man, for it is God who is judge: and any cause in which you are not able to give a decision, you are to put before me and I will give it a hearing.

bbe@Deuteronomy:1:19 @Then we went on from Horeb, through all that great and cruel waste which you saw, on our way to the hill-country of the Amorites, as the Lord gave us orders; and we came to Kadesh-barnea.

bbe@Deuteronomy:1:20 @And I said to you, You have come to the hill-country of the Amorites, which the Lord our God is giving us.

bbe@Deuteronomy:1:21 @See now, the Lord your God has put the land into your hands: go up and take it, as the Lord, the God of your fathers, has said to you; have no fear and do not be troubled.

bbe@Deuteronomy:1:22 @And you came near to me, every one of you, and said, Let us send men before us to go through the land with care and give us an account of the way we are to go and the towns to which we will come.

bbe@Deuteronomy:1:25 @And taking in their hands some of the fruit of the land, they came down again to us, and gave us their account, saying, It is a good land which the Lord our God is giving us.

bbe@Deuteronomy:1:27 @And you made an angry outcry in your tents, and said, In his hate for us the Lord has taken us out of the land of Egypt, to give us up into the hands of the Amorites for our destruction.

bbe@Deuteronomy:1:28 @Where are we going up? Our brothers have made our hearts feeble with fear by saying, The people are greater and taller than we are, and the towns are great and walled up to heaven; and more than this, we have seen the sons of the Anakim there.

bbe@Deuteronomy:1:32 @But for all this, you had no faith in the Lord your God,

bbe@Deuteronomy:1:34 @And the Lord, hearing your words, was angry, and said with an oath,

bbe@Deuteronomy:1:36 @But only Caleb, the son of Jephunneh, he will see it; and to him and to his children I will give the land over which his feet have gone, because he has been true to the Lord with all his heart.

bbe@Deuteronomy:1:37 @And, in addition, the Lord was angry with me because of you, saying, You yourself will not go into it:

bbe@Deuteronomy:1:38 @Joshua, the son of Nun, your servant, he will go into the land: say to him that he is to be strong, for he will be Israel's guide into their heritage.

bbe@Deuteronomy:1:39 @And your little ones, who, you said, would come into strange hands, your children, who now have no knowledge of good or evil, they will go into that land, and to them I will give it and it will be theirs.

bbe@Deuteronomy:1:41 @Then you said to me, We have done evil against the Lord, we will go up to the attack, as the Lord our God has given us orders. And arming yourselves every one, you made ready to go up without care into the hill-country.

bbe@Deuteronomy:1:44 @And the Amorites who were in the hill-country came out against you and put you to flight, rushing after you like bees, and overcame you in Seir, driving you even as far as Hormah.

bbe@Deuteronomy:1:46 @So you were kept waiting in Kadesh for a long time.

bbe@Deuteronomy:2:5 @Make no attack on them, for I will not give you any of their land, not even space enough for a man's foot: because I have given Mount Seir to Esau for his heritage.

bbe@Deuteronomy:2:7 @For the blessing of the Lord your God has been on you in all the work of your hands: he has knowledge of your wanderings through this great waste: these forty years the Lord your God has been with you, and you have been short of nothing.

bbe@Deuteronomy:2:9 @And the Lord said to me, Make no attack on Moab and do not go to war with them, for I will not give you any of his land: because I have given Ar to the children of Lot for their heritage.

bbe@Deuteronomy:2:11 @They are numbered among the Rephaim, like the Anakim; but are named Emim by the Moabites.

bbe@Deuteronomy:2:12 @And the Horites in earlier times were living in Seir, but the children of Esau took their place; they sent destruction on them and took their land for themselves, as Israel did to the land of his heritage which the Lord gave them.)

bbe@Deuteronomy:2:18 @You are about to go by Ar, the limit of the country of Moab;

bbe@Deuteronomy:2:19 @And when you come near the land of the children of Ammon, give them no cause of trouble and do not make war on them, for I will not give you any of the land of the children of Ammon for your heritage: because I have given it to the children of Lot.

bbe@Deuteronomy:2:20 @(That land is said to have been a land of the Rephaim, for Rephaim had been living there in earlier times, but they were named Zamzummim by the Ammonites;

bbe@Deuteronomy:2:22 @As he did for the children of Esau living in Seir, when he sent destruction on the Horites before them, and they took their land where they are living to this day:

bbe@Deuteronomy:2:24 @Get up now, and go on your journey, crossing over the valley of the Arnon: see, I have given into your hands Sihon, the Amorite, king of Heshbon, and all his land: go forward to make it yours, and make war on him,

bbe@Deuteronomy:2:25 @From now on I will put the fear of you in all peoples under heaven, who, hearing of you, will be shaking with fear and grief of heart because of you.

bbe@Deuteronomy:2:26 @Then from the waste land of Kedemoth I sent representatives to Sihon, king of Heshbon, with words of peace, saying,

bbe@Deuteronomy:2:29 @As the children of Esau did for me in Seir and the Moabites in Ar; till I have gone over Jordan into the land which the Lord our God is giving us.

bbe@Deuteronomy:2:30 @But Sihon, king of Heshbon, would not let us go through; for the Lord your God made his spirit hard and his heart strong, so that he might give him up into your hands as at this day.

bbe@Deuteronomy:2:31 @And the Lord said to me, See, from now on I have given Sihon and his land into your hands: go forward now to take his land and make it yours.

bbe@Deuteronomy:2:32 @Then Sihon came out against us with all his people, to make an attack on us at Jahaz.

bbe@Deuteronomy:2:34 @At that time we took all his towns, and gave them over to complete destruction, together with men, women, and children; we had no mercy on any:

bbe@Deuteronomy:2:35 @Only the cattle we took for ourselves, with the goods from the towns we had taken.

bbe@Deuteronomy:3:1 @Then turning we took the road to Bashan: and Og, king of Bashan, came out against us with all his people, and made an attack on us at Edrei.

bbe@Deuteronomy:3:2 @And the Lord said to me, Have no fear of him: for I have given him and all his people and his land into your hands; do to him as you did to Sihon, king of the Amorites, who was ruling in Heshbon.

bbe@Deuteronomy:3:5 @All these towns had high walls round them with doors and locks; and in addition we took a great number of unwalled towns.

bbe@Deuteronomy:3:6 @And we put them to the curse, every town together with men, women, and children.

bbe@Deuteronomy:3:8 @At that time we took their land from the two kings of the Amorites on the far side of Jordan, from the valley of the Arnon to Mount Hermon;

bbe@Deuteronomy:3:9 @(By the Sidonians, Hermon is named Sirion, and by the Amorites Shenir;)

bbe@Deuteronomy:3:11 @(For Og, king of Bashan, was the last of all the Rephaim; his bed was made of iron; is it not in Rabbah, in the land of the children of Ammon? It was nine cubits long and four cubits wide, measured by the common cubit.)

bbe@Deuteronomy:3:12 @And this land which we took at that time, from Aroer by the valley of the Arnon, and half the hill-country of Gilead with its towns, I gave to the Reubenites and the Gadites.

bbe@Deuteronomy:3:13 @The rest of Gilead and all Bashan, the kingdom of Og, all the land of Argob, together with Bashan, I gave to the half-tribe of Manasseh. (This land is named the land of the Rephaim.

bbe@Deuteronomy:3:14 @Jair, the son of Manasseh, took all the land of Argob, as far as the country of the Geshurites and the Maacathites, naming it, Bashan, Havvoth-Jair after himself, as it is to this day.)

bbe@Deuteronomy:3:16 @And the land from Gilead to the valley of the Arnon, with the middle of the valley as a limit, as far as the river Jabbok which is the limit of the country of the children of Ammon, I gave to the Reubenites and the Gadites;

bbe@Deuteronomy:3:17 @As well as the Arabah, with the river Jordan as their limit, from Chinnereth to the Salt Sea, under the slopes of Pisgah to the east.

bbe@Deuteronomy:3:18 @At that time I gave you orders, saying, The Lord has given you this land for your heritage: all the men of war are to go over armed before your brothers the children of Israel.

bbe@Deuteronomy:3:19 @But your wives and your little ones and your cattle (for it is clear that you have much cattle) may go on living in the towns I have given you;

bbe@Deuteronomy:3:20 @Till the Lord has given rest to your brothers as to you, and till they have taken for themselves the land which the Lord your God is giving them on the other side of Jordan: then you may go back, every man of you, to the heritage which I have given you.

bbe@Deuteronomy:3:26 @But the Lord was angry with me because of you and would not give ear to my prayer; and the Lord said to me, Let it be enough, say no more about this thing.

bbe@Deuteronomy:3:27 @Go up to the top of Pisgah, and turning your eyes to the west and the north, to the south and the east, see the land with your eyes: for you are not to go over Jordan.

bbe@Deuteronomy:3:28 @But give my orders to Joshua, comforting him and making him strong; for he is to go over Jordan at the head of this people, and he will give them this land which you will see for their heritage.

bbe@Deuteronomy:3:29 @So we were waiting in the valley facing Beth-peor.

bbe@Deuteronomy:4:2 @Make no addition to the orders which I give you, and take nothing from them, but keep the orders of the Lord your God which I give you.

bbe@Deuteronomy:4:4 @But you who kept faith with the Lord are living, every one of you, today.

bbe@Deuteronomy:4:5 @I have been teaching you laws and decisions, as I was ordered to do by the Lord my God, so that you might keep them in the land to which you are going to take it for your heritage.

bbe@Deuteronomy:4:10 @That day when you were waiting before the Lord your God in Horeb, and the Lord said to me, Make all the people come together, so that hearing my words they may go in fear of me all the days of their life on earth and give this teaching to their children

bbe@Deuteronomy:4:11 @And you came near, waiting at the foot of the mountain; and flames of fire went up from the mountain to the heart of heaven, with dark clouds, and all was black as night.

bbe@Deuteronomy:4:13 @And he gave you his agreement with you, the ten rules which you were to keep, which he put in writing on the two stones of the law.

bbe@Deuteronomy:4:14 @And the Lord gave me orders at that time to make clear to you these laws and decisions, so that you might do them in the land to which you are going, and which is to be your heritage.

bbe@Deuteronomy:4:15 @So keep watch on yourselves with care; for you saw no form of any sort on the day when the voice of the Lord came to you in Horeb out of the heart of the fire:

bbe@Deuteronomy:4:20 @But the Lord has taken you out of the flaming fire, out of Egypt, to be to him the people of his heritage, as you are today.

bbe@Deuteronomy:4:21 @And the Lord was angry with me because of you, and made an oath that I was not to go over Jordan into the good land which the Lord is giving you for your heritage:

bbe@Deuteronomy:4:22 @But death is to come to me in this land, I may not go over Jordan: but you will go over and take that good land for your heritage.

bbe@Deuteronomy:4:23 @Take care that you do not let the agreement of the Lord your God, which he has made with you, go out of your mind, or make for yourselves images of any sort, against the orders which the Lord your God has given you.

bbe@Deuteronomy:4:26 @May heaven and earth be my witnesses against you today, that destruction will quickly overtake you, cutting you off from that land which you are going over Jordan to take; your days will not be long in that land, but you will come to a complete end.

bbe@Deuteronomy:4:29 @But if in those lands you are turned again to the Lord your God, searching for him with all your heart and soul, he will not keep himself from you.

bbe@Deuteronomy:4:31 @Because the Lord your God is a God of mercy, he will not take away his help from you or let destruction overtake you, or be false to the agreement which he made by an oath with your fathers.

bbe@Deuteronomy:4:32 @Give thought now to the days which are past, before your time, from the day when God first gave life to man on the earth, and searching from one end of heaven to the other, see if such a great thing as this has ever been, or if anything like it has been talked of in story.

bbe@Deuteronomy:4:36 @Out of heaven itself his voice came to you, teaching you; and on earth he let you see his great fire; and his words came to your ears out of the heart of the fire.

bbe@Deuteronomy:4:37 @And because of his love for your fathers, he took their seed and made it his, and he himself, present among you, took you out of Egypt by his great power;

bbe@Deuteronomy:4:38 @Driving out before you nations greater and stronger than you, to take you into their land and give it to you for your heritage, as at this day.

bbe@Deuteronomy:4:40 @Then keep his laws and his orders which I give you today, so that it may be well for you and for your children after you, and that your lives may be long in the land which the Lord your God is giving you for ever.

bbe@Deuteronomy:4:43 @The names of the towns were Bezer in the waste land, in the table-land, for the Reubenites; and Ramoth in Gilead for the Gadites; and Golan in Bashan for Manasseh.

bbe@Deuteronomy:4:46 @On the far side of Jordan, in the valley facing Beth-peor, in the land of Sihon, king of the Amorites, who was ruling in Heshbon, whom Moses and the children of Israel overcame after they had come out of Egypt:

bbe@Deuteronomy:4:47 @And they took his land for a heritage, and the land of Og, king of Bashan, the two kings of the Amorites, whose lands were on the other side of Jordan to the east;

bbe@Deuteronomy:5:2 @The Lord our God made an agreement with us in Horeb.

bbe@Deuteronomy:5:3 @The Lord did not make this agreement with our fathers but with us, who are all living and present here today.

bbe@Deuteronomy:5:17 @Do not put anyone to death without cause.

bbe@Deuteronomy:5:20 @Do not give false witness against your neighbour;

bbe@Deuteronomy:5:22 @These words the Lord said to all of you together on the mountain, out of the heart of the fire, out of the cloud and the dark, with a great voice: and he said no more; he put them in writing on the two stones of the law and gave them to me.

bbe@Deuteronomy:5:23 @And after hearing the voice which came out of the dark while the mountain was burning with fire, all the heads of your tribes and your chiefs came to me,

bbe@Deuteronomy:5:27 @Do you go near: and after hearing everything which the Lord our God has to say, give us an account of all he has said to you, and we will give ear, and do it.

bbe@Deuteronomy:5:29 @If only they had such a heart in them at all times, so that they might go in fear of me and keep my orders and that it might be well for them and for their children for ever!

bbe@Deuteronomy:5:31 @But as for you, keep your place here by me, and I will give you all the orders and the laws and the decisions which you are to make clear to them, so that they may do them in the land which I am giving them for their heritage.

bbe@Deuteronomy:5:33 @Go on walking in the way ordered for you by the Lord your God, so that life may be yours and it may be well for you, and your days may be long in the land of your heritage.

bbe@Deuteronomy:6:1 @Now these are the orders and the laws and the decisions which the Lord your God gave me for your teaching, so that you might do them in the land of your heritage to which you are going:

bbe@Deuteronomy:6:3 @So give ear, O Israel, and take care to do this; so that it may be well for you, and you may be greatly increased, as the Lord the God of your fathers has given you his word, in a land flowing with milk and honey.

bbe@Deuteronomy:6:5 @And the Lord your God is to be loved with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength.

bbe@Deuteronomy:6:7 @Teaching them to your children with all care, talking of them when you are at rest in your house or walking by the way, when you go to sleep and when you get up.

bbe@Deuteronomy:6:10 @And when the Lord your God has taken you into the land which he gave his oath to your fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, that he would give you; with great and fair towns which were not of your building;

bbe@Deuteronomy:6:15 @For the Lord your God who is with you is a God who will not let his honour be given to another; or the wrath of the Lord will be burning against you, causing your destruction from the face of the earth.

bbe@Deuteronomy:6:17 @Keep with care the orders of the Lord your God, and his rules and his laws which he has given you;

bbe@Deuteronomy:6:18 @And do what is upright and good in the eyes of the Lord your God, so that it may be well for you and you may go in and take for your heritage that good land from which the Lord undertook by an oath to your fathers,

bbe@Deuteronomy:6:21 @Then you will say to your son, We were servants under Pharaoh's yoke in Egypt; and the Lord took us out of Egypt with a strong hand:

bbe@Deuteronomy:6:24 @And the Lord gave us orders to keep all these laws, in the fear of the Lord our God, so that it might be well for us for ever, and that he might keep us from death, as he has done to this day.

bbe@Deuteronomy:6:25 @And it will be our righteousness if we take care to keep all this order before the Lord our God as he has given it to us.

bbe@Deuteronomy:7:1 @When the Lord your God takes you into the land where you are going, which is to be your heritage, and has sent out the nations before you, the Hittites and the Girgashites and the Amorites and the Canaanites and the Perizzites and the Hivites and the Jebusites, seven nations greater and stronger than you;

bbe@Deuteronomy:7:2 @And when the Lord has given them up into your hands and you have overcome them, give them up to complete destruction: make no agreement with them, and have no mercy on them:

bbe@Deuteronomy:7:5 @But this is what you are to do to them: their altars are to be pulled down and their pillars broken, and their holy trees cut down and their images burned with fire.

bbe@Deuteronomy:7:8 @But because of his love for you, and in order to keep his oath to your fathers, the Lord took you out with the strength of his hand, making you free from the prison-house and from the hand of Pharaoh, king of Egypt.

bbe@Deuteronomy:7:9 @Be certain, then, that the Lord your God is God; whose faith and mercy are unchanging, who keeps his word through a thousand generations to those who have love for him and keep his laws;

bbe@Deuteronomy:7:10 @Rewarding his haters to their face with destruction; he will have no mercy on his hater, but will give him open punishment.

bbe@Deuteronomy:7:12 @And it will be, that if you give attention to these decisions and keep and do them, then the Lord will keep his agreement with you and his mercy, as he said in his oath to your fathers.

bbe@Deuteronomy:7:13 @And he will give you his love, blessing you and increasing you: he will send his blessing on the offspring of your body and the fruit of your land, your grain and your wine and your oil, the increase of your cattle and the young of your flock, in the land which by his oath to your fathers he undertook to give you.

bbe@Deuteronomy:7:14 @You will have greater blessings than any other people: no male or female among you or among your cattle will be without offspring.

bbe@Deuteronomy:7:16 @And you are to send destruction on all the peoples which the Lord your God gives into your hands; have no pity on them, and do not give worship to their gods; for that will be a cause of sin to you

bbe@Deuteronomy:7:21 @Have no fear of them: for the Lord your God is with you, a great God greatly to be feared.

bbe@Deuteronomy:7:22 @The Lord your God will send out the nations before you little by little; they are not to be rooted out quickly, for fear that the beasts of the field may be increased overmuch against you.

bbe@Deuteronomy:7:25 @The images of their gods are to be burned with fire: have no desire for the gold and silver on them, and do not take it for yourselves, for it will be a danger to you: it is a thing disgusting to the Lord your God:

bbe@Deuteronomy:7:26 @And you may not take a disgusting thing into your house, and so become cursed with its curse: but keep yourselves from it, turning from it with fear and hate, for it is a cursed thing.

bbe@Deuteronomy:8:1 @Take care to keep all the orders which I give you today, so that you may have life and be increased and go in and take as a heritage the land which the Lord, by his oath to your fathers, undertook to give you.

bbe@Deuteronomy:8:3 @And he made low your pride and let you be without food and gave you manna for your food, a thing new to you, which your fathers never saw; so that he might make it clear to you that bread is not man's only need, but his life is in every word which comes out of the mouth of the Lord.

bbe@Deuteronomy:8:8 @A land of grain and vines and fig-trees and fair fruits; a land of oil-giving olive-trees and honey;

bbe@Deuteronomy:8:15 @Who was your guide through that great and cruel waste, where there were poison-snakes and scorpions and a dry land without water; who made water come out of the hard rock for you;

bbe@Deuteronomy:8:18 @But keep in mind the Lord your God: for it is he who gives you the power to get wealth, so that he may give effect to the agreement which he made by his oath with your fathers, as at this day

bbe@Deuteronomy:8:19 @And it is certain that if at any time you are turned away from the Lord your God, and go after other gods, to be their servants and to give them worship, destruction will overtake you.

bbe@Deuteronomy:9:1 @Give ear, O Israel: today you are to go over Jordan, to take the heritage of nations greater and stronger than yourselves, and towns of great size with walls as high as heaven;

bbe@Deuteronomy:9:2 @A people great and tall, the sons of the Anakim, of whom you have knowledge and of whom it has been said, All are forced to give way before the sons of Anak.

bbe@Deuteronomy:9:3 @Be certain then today that it is the Lord your God who goes over before you like an all-burning fire; he will send destruction on them, crushing them before you; and you will send them in flight, putting an end to them quickly, as the Lord has said.

bbe@Deuteronomy:9:4 @And after the Lord has sent them in flight from before you, say not in your heart, Because of my righteousness the Lord has given me this land; when it is because of their evil-doing that the Lord is driving these nations out before you.

bbe@Deuteronomy:9:9 @When I had gone up into the mountain to be given the stones on which was recorded the agreement which the Lord made with you, I was on the mountain for forty days and forty nights without taking food or drinking water.

bbe@Deuteronomy:9:10 @And the Lord gave me the two stones with writing on them done by the finger of God: on them were recorded all the words which the Lord said to you on the mountain out of the heart of the fire, on the day of the great meeting.

bbe@Deuteronomy:9:15 @So turning round I came down from the mountain, and the mountain was burning with fire; and the two stones of the agreement were in my hands.

bbe@Deuteronomy:9:18 @And I went down on my face before the Lord, as at the first, for forty days and forty nights, without taking food or drinking water, because of all your sin, in doing evil in the eyes of the Lord and moving him to wrath.

bbe@Deuteronomy:9:19 @For I was full of fear because of the wrath of the Lord which was burning against you, with your destruction in view. But again the Lord's ear was open to my prayer.

bbe@Deuteronomy:9:21 @And I took your sin, the image which you had made, and put it in the fire and had it hammered and crushed very small till it was only dust: and the dust I put in the stream flowing down from the mountain.

bbe@Deuteronomy:9:23 @And when the Lord sent you from Kadesh-barnea, saying, Go up and take the land which I have given you; you went against the orders of the Lord your God, and had no faith in him, and would not give ear to his voice.

bbe@Deuteronomy:9:26 @And I made prayer to the Lord and said, O Lord God, do not send destruction on your people and your heritage, to whom, by your great power, you have given salvation, whom you have taken out of Egypt by the strength of your hand.

bbe@Deuteronomy:9:28 @Or it may be said in the land from which you have taken them, Because the Lord was not able to take them into the land which he said he would give them, and because of his hate for them, he has taken them out to put them to death in the waste land.

bbe@Deuteronomy:9:29 @But still they are your people and your heritage, whom you took out by your great power and by your stretched-out arm.

bbe@Deuteronomy:10:3 @So I made an ark of hard wood, and had two stones cut like the others, and went up the mountain with the stones in my hands.

bbe@Deuteronomy:10:4 @And he put on the stones, as in the first writing, the ten rules which the Lord gave you on the mountain out of the fire on the day of the great meeting: and the Lord gave the stones to me.

bbe@Deuteronomy:10:9 @For this reason Levi has no part or heritage for himself among his brothers: the Lord is his heritage, as the Lord your God said to him

bbe@Deuteronomy:10:12 @And now, Israel, what would the Lord your God have you do, but to go in the fear of the Lord your God, walking in all his ways and loving him and doing his pleasure with all your heart and all your soul,

bbe@Deuteronomy:10:14 @The Lord your God is ruler of heaven, of the heaven of heavens, and of the earth with everything in it.

bbe@Deuteronomy:10:17 @For the Lord your God is God of gods and Lord of lords, the great God, strong in power and greatly to be feared, who has no respect for any man's position and takes no rewards:

bbe@Deuteronomy:10:22 @Your fathers went down into Egypt with seventy persons; and now the Lord your God has made you like the stars of heaven in number.

bbe@Deuteronomy:11:6 @And what he did to Dathan and Abiram, the sons of Eliab, the son of Reuben; when they went down into the open mouth of the earth, with their families and their tents and every living thing which was theirs, before the eyes of all Israel:

bbe@Deuteronomy:11:8 @So keep all the orders which I give you today, so that you may be strong, and go in and take the land which is to be your heritage;

bbe@Deuteronomy:11:9 @And that your days may be long in the land which the Lord gave by an oath to your fathers and to their seed after them, a land flowing with milk and honey.

bbe@Deuteronomy:11:10 @For the land where you are going is not like the land of Egypt from which you have come, where you put in your seeds, watering them with your foot, like a planted garden:

bbe@Deuteronomy:11:12 @A land cared for by the Lord your God: the eyes of the Lord your God are on it at all times from one end of the year to the other.

bbe@Deuteronomy:11:13 @And it will be that if you truly give ear to the orders which I put before you this day, loving the Lord your God and worshipping him with all your heart and all your soul,

bbe@Deuteronomy:11:17 @For if you do so, the wrath of the Lord will be burning against you, and the heaven will be shut up so that there is no rain and the land will give no fruit; and in a very little time you will be cut off from the good land which the Lord is giving you.

bbe@Deuteronomy:11:20 @Writing them on the pillars of your houses and over the doors of your towns:

bbe@Deuteronomy:11:24 @Every place where you put your foot will be yours: from the waste land and Lebanon, from the river, the river Euphrates as far as the Great Sea, will be the limits of your land.

bbe@Deuteronomy:11:29 @And when the Lord your God has taken you into the land of your heritage, you are to put the blessing on Mount Gerizim and the curse on Mount Ebal.

bbe@Deuteronomy:11:30 @Are they not on the other side of Jordan, looking west, in the land of the Canaanites living in the Arabah, opposite Gilgal, by the holy tree of Moreh?

bbe@Deuteronomy:11:31 @For you are about to go over Jordan to take the heritage which the Lord your God is giving you, and it will be your resting-place.

bbe@Deuteronomy:12:1 @These are the laws and the decisions which you are to keep with care in the land which the Lord, the God of your fathers, has given you to be your heritage all the days of your life on earth.

bbe@Deuteronomy:12:3 @Their altars and their pillars are to be broken down, and their holy trees burned with fire, and the images of their gods cut down; you are to take away their names out of that place.

bbe@Deuteronomy:12:7 @There you and all your families are to make a feast before the Lord your God, with joy in everything to which you put your hand, because the Lord has given you his blessing.

bbe@Deuteronomy:12:8 @You are not to do things then in the way in which we now do them here, every man as it seems right to him:

bbe@Deuteronomy:12:9 @For you have not come to the rest and the heritage which the Lord your God is giving you.

bbe@Deuteronomy:12:10 @But when you have gone over Jordan and are living in the land which the Lord your God is giving you as your heritage, and when he has given you rest from all those on every side who are fighting against you, and you are living there safely;

bbe@Deuteronomy:12:12 @And you will be glad before the Lord your God, you and your sons and your daughters, and your men-servants and your women-servants, and the Levite who is with you in your house, because he has no part or heritage among you.

bbe@Deuteronomy:12:15 @Only you may put to death animals, such as the gazelle or the roe, for your food in any of your towns, at the desire of your soul, in keeping with the blessing of the Lord your God which he has given you: the unclean and the clean may take of it.

bbe@Deuteronomy:12:16 @But you may not take the blood for food, it is to be drained out on the earth like water.

bbe@Deuteronomy:12:18 @But they will be your food before the Lord your God in the place of his selection, where you may make a feast of them, with your son and your daughter, and your man-servant and your woman-servant, and the Levite who is living with you: and you will have joy before the Lord your God in everything to which you put your hand.

bbe@Deuteronomy:12:19 @See that you do not give up caring for the Levite as long as you are living in your land.

bbe@Deuteronomy:12:20 @When the Lord your God makes wide the limit of your land, as he has said, and you say, I will take flesh for my food, because you have a desire for it; then you may take whatever flesh you have a desire for.

bbe@Deuteronomy:12:21 @If the place marked out by the Lord your God as the resting-place for his name is far away from you, then take from your herds and from your flocks which the Lord has given you, as I have said, and have a meal of it in the towns where you may be living.

bbe@Deuteronomy:12:22 @It will be your food, like the gazelle and the roe; the unclean and the clean may take of it.

bbe@Deuteronomy:12:23 @But see that you do not take the blood for food; for the blood is the life; and you may not make use of the life as food with the flesh.

bbe@Deuteronomy:12:24 @Do not take it for food but let it be drained out on the earth like water.

bbe@Deuteronomy:12:25 @Do not take it for food; so that it may be well for you and for your children after you, while you do what is right in the eyes of the Lord.

bbe@Deuteronomy:12:28 @Take note of all these orders I am giving you and give attention to them, so that it may be well for you and for your children after you for ever, while you do what is good and right in the eyes of the Lord your God.

bbe@Deuteronomy:12:29 @When the people of the land where you are going have been cut off before you by the Lord your God, and you have taken their land and are living in it;

bbe@Deuteronomy:12:32 @You are to keep with care all the words I give you, making no addition to them and taking nothing from them.

bbe@Deuteronomy:13:5 @And that prophet or that dreamer of dreams is to be put to death; for his words were said with the purpose of turning you away from the Lord your God, who took you out of the land of Egypt and made you free from the prison-house; and of forcing you out of the way in which the Lord your God has given you orders to go. So you are to put away the evil from among you.

bbe@Deuteronomy:13:8 @Do not be guided by him or give attention to him; have no pity on him or mercy, and give him no cover;

bbe@Deuteronomy:13:9 @But put him to death without question; let your hand be the first stretched out against him to put him to death, and then the hands of all the people.

bbe@Deuteronomy:13:10 @Let him be stoned with stones till he is dead; because it was his purpose to make you false to the Lord your God, who took you out of the land of Egypt, out of the prison-house.

bbe@Deuteronomy:13:11 @And all Israel, hearing of it, will be full of fear, and no one will again do such evil as this among you.

bbe@Deuteronomy:13:14 @Then let a full search be made, and let questions be put with care; and if it is true and certain that such a disgusting thing has been done among you;

bbe@Deuteronomy:13:15 @Then take up arms against the people of that town and give it up to the curse, with all its cattle and everything in it

bbe@Deuteronomy:13:16 @And take all the goods into the middle of its open space, burning the town and all its property with fire as an offering to the Lord your God; it is to be a waste for ever; there is to be no more building there.

bbe@Deuteronomy:14:6 @Any beast which has a division in the horn of its foot and whose food comes back into its mouth to be crushed again, may be used for food.

bbe@Deuteronomy:14:8 @And the pig is unclean to you, because though it has a division in the horn of its foot, its food does not come back; their flesh may not be used for food or their dead bodies touched by you.

bbe@Deuteronomy:14:9 @And of the things living in the waters, you may take all those who have wings for swimming with and skins formed of thin plates.

bbe@Deuteronomy:14:13 @The falcon and the kite, and birds of that sort;

bbe@Deuteronomy:14:16 @The little owl and the great owl and the water-hen;

bbe@Deuteronomy:14:21 @You may not have as food anything which has come to a natural death; the man from another country who is living with you may take it for food, or you may get a price for it from one of another nation; for you are a holy people to the Lord your God. The young goat is not to be cooked in its mother's milk.

bbe@Deuteronomy:14:24 @And if the way is so long that you are not able to take these things to the place marked out by the Lord your God for his name, when he has given you his blessing, because it is far away from you;

bbe@Deuteronomy:14:26 @And with the money get whatever you have a desire for, oxen or sheep or wine or strong drink, whatever your soul's desire may be: and make a feast there before the Lord your God, and be glad, you and all your house;

bbe@Deuteronomy:14:27 @And give a thought to the Levite who is living among you, for he has no part or heritage in the land.

bbe@Deuteronomy:14:28 @At the end of every three years take a tenth part of all your increase for that year, and put it in store inside your walls:

bbe@Deuteronomy:14:29 @And the Levite, because he has no part or heritage in the land, and the man from a strange country, and the child who has no father, and the widow, who are living among you, will come and take food and have enough; and so the blessing of the Lord your God will be on you in everything you do.

bbe@Deuteronomy:15:2 @This is how it is to be done: every creditor is to give up his right to whatever he has let his neighbour have; he is not to make his neighbour, his countryman, give it back; because a general forgiveness has been ordered by the Lord.

bbe@Deuteronomy:15:3 @A man of another nation may be forced to make payment of his debt, but if your brother has anything of yours, let it go;

bbe@Deuteronomy:15:4 @But there will be no poor among you; for the Lord will certainly give you his blessing in the land which the Lord your God is giving you for your heritage;

bbe@Deuteronomy:15:9 @And see that there is no evil thought in your heart, moving you to say to yourself, The seventh year, the year of forgiveness is near; and so looking coldly on your poor countryman you give him nothing; and he will make an outcry to the Lord against you, and it will be judged as sin in you.

bbe@Deuteronomy:15:10 @But it is right for you to give to him, without grief of heart: for because of this, the blessing of the Lord your God will be on all your work and on everything to which you put your hand.

bbe@Deuteronomy:15:13 @And when you make him free, do not let him go away with nothing in his hands:

bbe@Deuteronomy:15:16 @But if he says to you, I have no desire to go away from you; because you and your family are dear to him and he is happy with you;

bbe@Deuteronomy:15:17 @Then take a sharp-pointed instrument, driving it through his ear into the door, and he will be your servant for ever. And you may do the same for your servant-girl.

bbe@Deuteronomy:15:18 @Let it not seem hard to you that you have to send him away free; for he has been working for you for six years, which is twice the regular time for a servant: and the blessing of the Lord your God will be on you in everything you do.

bbe@Deuteronomy:15:20 @But year by year you and all your house are to take a meal of it before the Lord, in the place of his selection.

bbe@Deuteronomy:15:21 @But if it has any mark on it, if it is blind or has damaged legs, or if there is anything wrong with it, it may not be offered to the Lord your God.

bbe@Deuteronomy:15:22 @It may be used for food in your houses: the unclean and the clean may take of it, as of the gazelle and the roe.

bbe@Deuteronomy:15:23 @Only do not take its blood for food, but let it be drained out on the earth like water.

bbe@Deuteronomy:16:3 @Take no leavened bread with it; for seven days let your food be unleavened bread, that is, the bread of sorrow; for you came out of the land of Egypt quickly: so the memory of that day, when you came out of the land of Egypt, will be with you all your life.

bbe@Deuteronomy:16:7 @It is to be cooked and taken as food in the place marked out by the Lord: and in the morning you are to go back to your tents.

bbe@Deuteronomy:16:10 @Then keep the feast of weeks to the Lord your God, with an offering freely given to him from the wealth he has given you:

bbe@Deuteronomy:16:11 @Then you are to be glad before the Lord your God, you and your son and your daughter, your man-servant and your woman-servant, and the Levite who is with you, and the man from a strange country, and the child without a father, and the widow, who are living among you, in the place marked out by the Lord your God as a resting-place for his name.

bbe@Deuteronomy:16:14 @You are to keep the feast with joy, you and your son and your daughter, your man-servant and your woman-servant, and the Levite, and the man from a strange country, and the child without a father, and the widow, who are living among you.

bbe@Deuteronomy:16:16 @Three times in the year let all your males come before the Lord your God in the place named by him; at the feast of unleavened bread, the feast of weeks, and the feast of tents: and they are not to come before the Lord with nothing in their hands;

bbe@Deuteronomy:16:19 @You are not to be moved in your judging by a man's position, you are not to take rewards; for rewards make the eyes of the wise man blind, and the decisions of the upright false.

bbe@Deuteronomy:16:20 @Let righteousness be your guide, so that you may have life, and take for your heritage the land which the Lord your God is giving you.

bbe@Deuteronomy:17:1 @No ox or sheep which has a mark on it or is damaged in any way may be offered to the Lord your God: for that is disgusting to the Lord your God.

bbe@Deuteronomy:17:4 @If word of this comes to your ears, then let this thing be looked into with care, and if there is no doubt that it is true, and such evil has been done in Israel;

bbe@Deuteronomy:17:5 @Then you are to take the man or woman who has done the evil to the public place of your town, and they are to be stoned with stones till they are dead.

bbe@Deuteronomy:17:6 @On the word of two or three witnesses, a man may be given the punishment of death; but he is not to be put to death on the word of one witness.

bbe@Deuteronomy:17:7 @The hands of the witnesses will be the first to put him to death, and after them the hands of all the people. So you are to put away the evil from among you.

bbe@Deuteronomy:17:8 @If you are not able to give a decision as to who is responsible for a death, or who is right in a cause, or who gave the first blow in a fight, and there is a division of opinion about it in your town: then go to the place marked out by the Lord your God;

bbe@Deuteronomy:17:9 @And come before the priests, the Levites, or before him who is judge at the time: and they will go into the question and give you a decision:

bbe@Deuteronomy:17:11 @Acting in agreement with their teaching and the decision they give: not turning to one side or the other from the word they have given you.

bbe@Deuteronomy:17:13 @And all the people, hearing of it, will be full of fear and put away their pride.

bbe@Deuteronomy:17:14 @When you have come into the land which the Lord your God is giving you, and have taken it for a heritage and are living in it, if it is your desire to have a king over you, like the other nations round about you;

bbe@Deuteronomy:17:18 @And when he has taken his place on the seat of his kingdom, he is to make in a book a copy of this law, from that which the priests, the Levites, have in their care:

bbe@Deuteronomy:17:19 @And it is to be with him for his reading all the days of his life, so that he may be trained in the fear of the Lord his God to keep and do all the words of this teaching and these laws:

bbe@Deuteronomy:18:1 @The priests, the Levites, that is, all the tribe of Levi, will have no part or heritage with Israel: their food and their heritage will be the offerings of the Lord made by fire.

bbe@Deuteronomy:18:2 @And they will have no heritage among their countrymen: the Lord is their heritage, as he has said to them.

bbe@Deuteronomy:18:4 @And in addition you are to give him the first of your grain and wine and oil, and the first wool cut from your sheep.

bbe@Deuteronomy:18:6 @And if a Levite, moved by a strong desire, comes from any town in all Israel where he is living to the place marked out by the Lord;

bbe@Deuteronomy:18:7 @Then he will do the work of a priest in the name of the Lord his God, with all his brothers the Levites who are there before the Lord.

bbe@Deuteronomy:18:8 @His food will be the same as theirs, in addition to what has come to him as the price of his property.

bbe@Deuteronomy:18:11 @Or anyone using secret force on people, or putting questions to a spirit, or having secret knowledge, or going to the dead for directions.

bbe@Deuteronomy:18:20 @But the prophet who takes it on himself to say words in my name which I have not given him orders to say, or who says anything in the name of other gods, will come to his death.

bbe@Deuteronomy:19:2 @You are to have three towns marked out in the land which the Lord your God is giving you for your heritage.

bbe@Deuteronomy:19:3 @You are to make ready a way, and see that the land which the Lord your God is giving you for your heritage, is marked out into three parts, to which any taker of life may go in flight.

bbe@Deuteronomy:19:5 @For example, if a man goes into the woods with his neighbour for the purpose of cutting down trees, and when he takes his axe to give a blow to the tree, the head of the axe comes off, and falling on to his neighbour gives him a wound causing his death; then the man may go in flight to one of these towns and be safe:

bbe@Deuteronomy:19:6 @For if not, he who has the right of punishment may go running after the taker of life in the heat of his wrath, and overtake him because the way is long, and give him a death-blow; though it is not right for him to be put to death because he was not moved by hate.

bbe@Deuteronomy:19:8 @And if the Lord your God makes wide the limits of your land, as he said in his oath to your fathers, and gives you all the land which he undertook to give to your fathers;

bbe@Deuteronomy:19:9 @If you keep and do all these orders which I give you today, loving the Lord your God and walking ever in his ways; then let three more towns, in addition to these three, be marked out for you:

bbe@Deuteronomy:19:10 @So that in all your land, which the Lord your God is giving you for your heritage, no man may be wrongly put to death, for which you will be responsible

bbe@Deuteronomy:19:11 @But if any man has hate for his neighbour, and waiting for him secretly makes an attack on him and gives him a blow causing his death, and then goes in flight to one of these towns;

bbe@Deuteronomy:19:13 @Have no pity on him, so that Israel may be clear from the crime of putting a man to death without cause, and it will be well for you.

bbe@Deuteronomy:19:14 @Your neighbour's landmark, which was put in its place by the men of old times, is not to be moved or taken away in the land of your heritage which the Lord your God is giving you.

bbe@Deuteronomy:19:15 @One witness may not make a statement against a man in relation to any sin or wrongdoing which he has done: on the word of two or three witnesses a question is to be judged.

bbe@Deuteronomy:19:16 @If a false witness makes a statement against a man, saying that he has done wrong,

bbe@Deuteronomy:19:18 @And the judges will have the question looked into with care: and if the witness is seen to be false and to have made a false statement against his brother,

bbe@Deuteronomy:19:19 @Then do to him what it was his purpose to do to his brother: and so put away the evil from among you.

bbe@Deuteronomy:19:20 @And the rest of the people, hearing of it, will be full of fear, and never again do such evil among you.

bbe@Deuteronomy:19:21 @Have no pity; let life be given for life, eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot.

bbe@Deuteronomy:20:1 @When you go out to war against other nations, and come face to face with horses and war-carriages and armies greater in number than yourselves, have no fear of them: for the Lord your God is with you, who took you up out of the land of Egypt.

bbe@Deuteronomy:20:4 @For the Lord your God goes with you, fighting for you to give you salvation from those who are against you.

bbe@Deuteronomy:20:5 @And let the overseers say to the people, If there is any man who has made for himself a new house and has not gone into it, let him go back to his house, so that in the event of his death in the fight, another may not take his house for himself.

bbe@Deuteronomy:20:6 @Or if any man has made a vine-garden without taking the first-fruits of it, let him go back to his house, so that in the event of his death in the fight, another may not be the first to make use of the fruit.

bbe@Deuteronomy:20:7 @Or if any man is newly married and has had no sex relations with his wife, let him go back to his house, so that in the event of his death in the fight, another man may not take her.

bbe@Deuteronomy:20:8 @And let the overseers go on to say to the people, If there is any man whose heart is feeble with fear, let him go back to his house before he makes the hearts of his countrymen feeble.

bbe@Deuteronomy:20:10 @When you come to a town, before attacking it, make an offer of peace.

bbe@Deuteronomy:20:11 @And if it gives you back an answer of peace, opening its doors to you, then all the people in it may be put to forced work as your servants.

bbe@Deuteronomy:20:12 @If however it will not make peace with you, but war, then let it be shut in on all sides:

bbe@Deuteronomy:20:13 @And when the Lord your God has given it into your hands, let every male in it be put to death without mercy.

bbe@Deuteronomy:20:14 @But the women and the children and the cattle and everything in the town and all its wealth, you may take for yourselves: the wealth of your haters, which the Lord your God has given you, will be your food.

bbe@Deuteronomy:20:16 @But in the towns of these peoples whose land the Lord your God is giving you for your heritage, let no living thing be kept from death:

bbe@Deuteronomy:20:17 @Give them up to the curse; the Hittite, the Amorite, the Canaanite, the Perizzite, the Hivite, and the Jebusite, as the Lord your God has given you orders:

bbe@Deuteronomy:20:19 @If in war a town is shut in by your armies for a long time, do not let its trees be cut down and made waste; for their fruit will be your food; are the trees of the countryside men for you to take up arms against them?

bbe@Deuteronomy:20:20 @Only those trees which you are certain are not used for food may be cut down and put to destruction: and you are to make walls of attack against the town till it is taken.

bbe@Deuteronomy:21:2 @Then your responsible men and your judges are to come out, and give orders for the distance from the dead body to the towns round about it to be measured;

bbe@Deuteronomy:21:7 @Will say, This death is not the work of our hands and our eyes have not seen it.

bbe@Deuteronomy:21:8 @Have mercy, O Lord, on your people Israel whom you have made free, and take away from your people the crime of a death without cause. Then they will no longer be responsible for the man's death.

bbe@Deuteronomy:21:9 @So you will take away the crime of a death without cause from among you, when you do what is right in the eyes of the Lord.

bbe@Deuteronomy:21:11 @If among the prisoners you see a beautiful woman and it is your desire to make her your wife;

bbe@Deuteronomy:21:16 @Then when he gives his property to his sons for their heritage, he is not to put the son of his loved one in the place of the first son, the son of the hated wife:

bbe@Deuteronomy:21:17 @But he is to give his first son his birthright, and twice as great a part of his property: for he is the first-fruits of his strength and the right of the first son is his.

bbe@Deuteronomy:21:21 @Then he is to be stoned to death by all the men of the town: so you are to put away the evil from among you; and all Israel, hearing of it, will be full of fear.

bbe@Deuteronomy:21:23 @Do not let his body be on the tree all night, but put it to rest in the earth the same day; for the man who undergoes hanging is cursed by God; so do not make unclean the land which the Lord your God is giving you for your heritage.

bbe@Deuteronomy:22:1 @If you see your brother's ox or his sheep wandering, do not go by without helping, but take them back to your brother.

bbe@Deuteronomy:22:2 @If their owner is not near, or if you are not certain who he is, then take the beast to your house and keep it till its owner comes in search of it, and then you are to give it back to him.

bbe@Deuteronomy:22:3 @Do the same with his ass or his robe or anything which has gone from your brother's keeping and which you have come across: do not keep it to yourself.

bbe@Deuteronomy:22:4 @If you see your brother's ox or his ass falling down on the road, do not go by without giving him help in lifting it up again.

bbe@Deuteronomy:22:5 @It is not right for a woman to be dressed in man's clothing, or for a man to put on a woman's robe: whoever does such things is disgusting to the Lord your God.

bbe@Deuteronomy:22:6 @If by chance you see a place which a bird has made for itself in a tree or on the earth, with young ones or eggs, and the mother bird seated on the young ones or on the eggs, do not take the mother bird with the young:

bbe@Deuteronomy:22:7 @See that you let the mother bird go, but the young ones you may take; so it will be well for you and your life will be long.

bbe@Deuteronomy:22:8 @If you are building a house, make a railing for the roof, so that the blood of any man falling from it will not come on your house.

bbe@Deuteronomy:22:9 @Do not have your vine-garden planted with two sorts of seed: or all of it may become a loss, the seed you have put in as well as the increase.

bbe@Deuteronomy:22:10 @Do not do your ploughing with an ox and an ass yoked together.

bbe@Deuteronomy:22:12 @On the four edges of your robe, with which your body is covered, put ornaments of twisted threads.

bbe@Deuteronomy:22:13 @If any man takes a wife, and having had connection with her, has no delight in her,

bbe@Deuteronomy:22:14 @And says evil things about her and gives her a bad name, saying, I took this woman, and when I had connection with her it was clear to me that she was not a virgin:

bbe@Deuteronomy:22:23 @If a young virgin has given her word to be married to a man, and another man meeting her in the town, has connection with her;

bbe@Deuteronomy:22:24 @Then you are to take the two of them to the doorway of the town, and have them stoned to death; the young virgin, because she gave no cry for help, though it was in the town, and the man, because he has put shame on his neighbour's wife: so you are to put away evil from among you.

bbe@Deuteronomy:22:26 @Nothing is to be done to the virgin, because there is no cause of death in her: it is the same as if a man made an attack on his neighbour and put him to death:

bbe@Deuteronomy:22:28 @If a man sees a young virgin, who has not given her word to be married to anyone, and he takes her by force and has connection with her, and discovery is made of it;

bbe@Deuteronomy:22:30 @A man may not take his father's wife or have sex relations with a woman who is his father's.

bbe@Deuteronomy:23:3 @No Ammonite or Moabite or any of their people to the tenth generation may come into the meeting of the Lord's people:

bbe@Deuteronomy:23:7 @But have no hate for an Edomite, because he is your brother, or for an Egyptian, for you were living in his land.

bbe@Deuteronomy:23:9 @When you go out to war and put your tents in position, keep from every evil thing.

bbe@Deuteronomy:23:10 @If any man among you becomes unclean through anything which has taken place in the night, he is to go out from the tent-circle and keep outside it:

bbe@Deuteronomy:23:13 @And have among your arms a spade; and when you have been to that place, let that which comes from you be covered up with earth:

bbe@Deuteronomy:23:19 @Do not take interest from an Israelite on anything, money or food or any other goods, which you let him have:

bbe@Deuteronomy:23:20 @From men of other nations you may take interest, but not from an Israelite: so that the blessing of the Lord your God may be on everything to which you put your hand, in the land which you are about to take as your heritage.

bbe@Deuteronomy:23:21 @When you take an oath to the Lord, do not be slow to give effect to it: for without doubt the Lord your God will make you responsible, and will put it to your account as sin.

bbe@Deuteronomy:23:23 @Whatever your lips have said, see that you do it; for you gave your word freely to the Lord your God.

bbe@Deuteronomy:23:25 @When you go into your neighbour's field, you may take the heads of grain with your hand; but you may not put your blade to his grain.

bbe@Deuteronomy:24:1 @If a man takes a wife, and after they are married she is unpleasing to him because of some bad quality in her, let him give her a statement in writing and send her away from his house.

bbe@Deuteronomy:24:3 @And if the second husband has no love for her and, giving her a statement in writing, sends her away; or if death comes to the second husband to whom she was married;

bbe@Deuteronomy:24:4 @Her first husband, who had sent her away, may not take her back after she has been wife to another; for that is disgusting to the Lord: and you are not to be a cause of sin in the land which the Lord your God is giving you for your heritage.

bbe@Deuteronomy:24:5 @A newly married man will not have to go out with the army or undertake any business, but may be free for one year, living in his house for the comfort of his wife.

bbe@Deuteronomy:24:6 @No one is to take, on account of a debt, the stones with which grain is crushed: for in doing so he takes a man's living.

bbe@Deuteronomy:24:8 @In connection with the leper's disease, take care to keep and do every detail of the teaching of the priests, the Levites: as I gave them orders, so you are to do.

bbe@Deuteronomy:24:11 @But keep outside till he comes out and gives it to you.

bbe@Deuteronomy:24:13 @But be certain to give it back to him when the sun goes down, so that he may have his clothing for sleeping in, and will give you his blessing: and this will be put to your account as righteousness before the Lord your God.

bbe@Deuteronomy:24:14 @Do not be hard on a servant who is poor and in need, if he is one of your countrymen or a man from another nation living with you in your land.

bbe@Deuteronomy:24:15 @Give him his payment day by day, not keeping it back over night; for he is poor and his living is dependent on it; and if his cry against you comes to the ears of the Lord, it will be judged as sin in you.

bbe@Deuteronomy:24:19 @When you get in the grain from your field, if some of the grain has been dropped by chance in the field, do not go back and get it, but let it be for the man from a strange land, the child without a father, and the widow: so that the blessing of the Lord your God may be on all the work of your hands.

bbe@Deuteronomy:24:20 @When you are shaking the fruit from your olive-trees, do not go over the branches a second time: let some be for the man from a strange land, the child without a father, and the widow

bbe@Deuteronomy:24:21 @When you are pulling the grapes from your vines, do not take up those which have been dropped; let them be for the man from a strange land, the child without a father, and the widow.

bbe@Deuteronomy:25:1 @If there is an argument between men and they go to law with one another, let the judges give their decision for the upright, and against the wrongdoer.

bbe@Deuteronomy:25:4 @Do not keep the ox from taking the grain when he is crushing it.

bbe@Deuteronomy:25:5 @If brothers are living together and one of them, at his death, has no son, the wife of the dead man is not to be married outside the family to another man: let her husband's brother go in to her and make her his wife, doing as it is right for a brother-in-law to do.

bbe@Deuteronomy:25:7 @But if the man says he will not take his brother's wife, then let the wife go to the responsible men of the town, and say, My husband's brother will not keep his brother's name living in Israel; he will not do what it is right for a husband's brother to do.

bbe@Deuteronomy:25:8 @Then the responsible men of the town will send for the man, and have talk with him: and if he still says, I will not take her;

bbe@Deuteronomy:25:9 @Then his brother's wife is to come to him, before the responsible men of the town, and take his shoe off his foot, and put shame on him, and say, So let it be done to the man who will not take care of his brother's name

bbe@Deuteronomy:25:12 @Her hand is to be cut off; have no pity on her.

bbe@Deuteronomy:25:18 @How, meeting you on the way, he made an attack on you when you were tired and without strength, cutting off all the feeble ones at the end of your line; and the fear of God was not in him.

bbe@Deuteronomy:25:19 @So when the Lord your God has given you rest from all who are against you on every side, in the land which the Lord your God is giving you for your heritage, see to it that the memory of Amalek is cut off from the earth; keep this in mind.

bbe@Deuteronomy:26:1 @Now when you have come into the land which the Lord is giving you for your heritage, and you have made it yours and are living in it;

bbe@Deuteronomy:26:2 @You are to take a part of the first-fruits of the earth, which you get from the land which the Lord your God is giving you, and put it in a basket, and go to the place marked out by the Lord your God, as the resting-place of his name.

bbe@Deuteronomy:26:3 @And you are to come to him who is priest at that time, and say to him, I give witness today before the Lord your God, that I have come into the land which the Lord made an oath to our fathers to give us.

bbe@Deuteronomy:26:4 @Then the priest will take the basket from your hand and put it down in front of the altar of the Lord your God.

bbe@Deuteronomy:26:5 @And these are the words which you will say before the Lord your God: My father was a wandering Aramaean, and he went down with a small number of people into Egypt; there he became a great and strong nation:

bbe@Deuteronomy:26:8 @And the Lord took us out of Egypt with a strong hand and a stretched-out arm, with works of power and signs and wonders:

bbe@Deuteronomy:26:9 @And he has been our guide to this place, and has given us this land, a land flowing with milk and honey.

bbe@Deuteronomy:26:10 @So now, I have come here with the first of the fruits of the earth which you, O Lord, have given me. Then you will put it down before the Lord your God and give him worship:

bbe@Deuteronomy:26:11 @And you will have joy in every good thing which the Lord your God has given to you and to your family; and the Levite, and the man from a strange land who is with you, will take part in your joy

bbe@Deuteronomy:26:12 @When you have taken out a tenth from the tenth of all your produce in the third year, which is the year when this has to be done, give it to the Levite, and the man from a strange land, and the child without a father, and the widow, so that they may have food in your towns and be full;

bbe@Deuteronomy:26:13 @And say before the Lord your God, I have taken all the holy things out of my house and have given them to the Levite, and the man from a strange land, and him who has no father, and the widow, as you have given me orders: I have kept in mind all your orders, in nothing have I gone against them:

bbe@Deuteronomy:26:15 @So, looking down from your holy place in heaven, send your blessing on your people Israel and on the land which you have given us, as you said in your oath to our fathers, a land flowing with milk and honey.

bbe@Deuteronomy:26:16 @Today the Lord your God gives you orders to keep all these laws and decisions: so then keep and do them with all your heart and all your soul.

bbe@Deuteronomy:26:17 @Today you have given witness that the Lord is your God, and that you will go in his ways and keep his laws and his orders and his decisions and give ear to his voice:

bbe@Deuteronomy:26:18 @And the Lord has made it clear this day that you are a special people to him, as he gave you his word; and that you are to keep all his orders;

bbe@Deuteronomy:27:2 @And on the day when you go over Jordan into the land which the Lord your God is giving you, put up great stones, coating them with building-paste,

bbe@Deuteronomy:27:3 @And writing on them all the words of this law, after you have gone over; so that you may take the heritage which the Lord your God is giving you, a land flowing with milk and honey, as the Lord, the God of your fathers, has said.

bbe@Deuteronomy:27:4 @And when you have gone over Jordan, you are to put up these stones, as I have said to you today, in Mount Ebal, and have them coated with building-paste.

bbe@Deuteronomy:27:6 @You are to make the altar of the Lord your God of uncut stones; offering on it burned offerings to the Lord your God:

bbe@Deuteronomy:27:7 @And you are to make your peace-offerings, feasting there with joy before the Lord your God.

bbe@Deuteronomy:27:8 @And put on the stones all the words of this law, writing them very clearly.

bbe@Deuteronomy:27:9 @Then Moses and the priests, the Levites, said to all Israel, Be quiet and give ear, O Israel; today you have become the people of the Lord your God.

bbe@Deuteronomy:27:14 @Then the Levites are to say in a loud voice to all the men of Israel,

bbe@Deuteronomy:27:15 @Cursed is the man who makes any image of wood or stone or metal, disgusting to the Lord, the work of man's hands, and puts it up in secret. And let all the people say, So be it.

bbe@Deuteronomy:27:16 @Cursed is he who does not give honour to his father or mother. And let all the people say, So be it.

bbe@Deuteronomy:27:17 @Cursed is he who takes his neighbour's landmark from its place. And let all the people say, So be it.

bbe@Deuteronomy:27:18 @Cursed is he by whom the blind are turned out of the way. And let all the people say, So be it.

bbe@Deuteronomy:27:19 @Cursed is he who gives a wrong decision in the cause of a man from a strange land, or of one without a father, or of a widow. And let all the people say, So be it.

bbe@Deuteronomy:27:20 @Cursed is he who has sex relations with his father's wife, for he has put shame on his father. And let all the people say, So be it.

bbe@Deuteronomy:27:21 @Cursed is he who has sex relations with any sort of beast. And let all the people say, So be it.

bbe@Deuteronomy:27:22 @Cursed is he who has sex relations with his sister, the daughter of his father or of his mother. And let all the people say, So be it.

bbe@Deuteronomy:27:23 @Cursed is he who has sex relations with his mother-in-law. And let all the people say, So be it.

bbe@Deuteronomy:27:24 @Cursed is he who takes his neighbour's life secretly. And let all the people say, So be it.

bbe@Deuteronomy:27:25 @Cursed is he who for a reward puts to death one who has done no wrong. And let all the people say, So be it.

bbe@Deuteronomy:27:26 @Cursed is he who does not take this law to heart to do it. And let all the people say, So be it.

bbe@Deuteronomy:28:1 @Now if you give ear to the voice of the Lord your God, and keep with care all these orders which I have given you today, then the Lord your God will put you high over all the nations of the earth:

bbe@Deuteronomy:28:4 @A blessing will be on the fruit of your body, and on the fruit of your land, on the fruit of your cattle, the increase of your herd, and the young of your flock.

bbe@Deuteronomy:28:11 @And the Lord will make you fertile in every good thing, in the fruit of your body, and the fruit of your cattle, and the fruit of your fields, in the land which the Lord, by his oath to your fathers, said he would give you.

bbe@Deuteronomy:28:18 @A curse will be on the fruit of your body, and on the fruit of your land, on the increase of your cattle, and the young of your flock.

bbe@Deuteronomy:28:22 @The Lord will send wasting disease, and burning pain, and flaming heat against you, keeping back the rain till your land is waste and dead; so will it be till your destruction is complete.

bbe@Deuteronomy:28:24 @The Lord will make the rain of your land powder and dust, sending it down on you from heaven till your destruction is complete.

bbe@Deuteronomy:28:28 @He will make your minds diseased, and your eyes blind, and your hearts wasted with fear:

bbe@Deuteronomy:28:30 @You will take a wife, but another man will have the use of her: the house which your hands have made will never be your resting-place: you will make a vine-garden, and never take the fruit of it.

bbe@Deuteronomy:28:31 @Your ox will be put to death before your eyes, but its flesh will not be your food: your ass will be violently taken away before your face, and will not be given back to you: your sheep will be given to your haters, and there will be no saviour for you.

bbe@Deuteronomy:28:32 @Your sons and your daughters will be given to another people, and your eyes will be wasted away with looking and weeping for them all the day: and you will have no power to do anything.

bbe@Deuteronomy:28:33 @The fruit of your land and all the work of your hands will be food for a nation which is strange to you and to your fathers; you will only be crushed down and kept under for ever:

bbe@Deuteronomy:28:38 @You will take much seed out into the field, and get little in; for the locust will get it.

bbe@Deuteronomy:28:40 @Your land will be full of olive-trees, but there will be no oil for the comfort of your body; for your olive-tree will give no fruit.

bbe@Deuteronomy:28:42 @All your trees and the fruit of your land will be the locust's.

bbe@Deuteronomy:28:47 @Because you did not give honour to the Lord your God, worshipping him gladly, with joy in your hearts on account of all your wealth of good things;

bbe@Deuteronomy:28:48 @For this cause you will become servants to those whom the Lord your God will send against you, without food and drink and clothing, and in need of all things: and he will put a yoke of iron on your neck till he has put an end to you.

bbe@Deuteronomy:28:49 @The Lord will send a nation against you from the farthest ends of the earth, coming with the flight of an eagle; a nation whose language is strange to you;

bbe@Deuteronomy:28:51 @He will take the fruit of your cattle and of your land till death puts an end to you: he will let you have nothing of your grain or wine or oil or any of the increase of your cattle or the young of your flock, till he has made your destruction complete.

bbe@Deuteronomy:28:52 @Your towns will be shut in by his armies, till your high walls, in which you put your faith, have come down: his armies will be round your towns, through all your land which the Lord your God has given you.

bbe@Deuteronomy:28:53 @And your food will be the fruit of your body, the flesh of the sons and daughters which the Lord your God has given you; because of your bitter need and the cruel grip of your haters.

bbe@Deuteronomy:28:57 @And to her baby newly come to birth, and to the children of her body; for having no other food, she will make a meal of them secretly, because of her bitter need and the cruel grip of your haters on all your towns.

bbe@Deuteronomy:28:63 @And as the Lord took delight in doing you good and increasing you, so the Lord will take pleasure in cutting you off and causing your destruction, and you will be uprooted from the land which you are about to take as your heritage.

bbe@Deuteronomy:28:66 @Your very life will be hanging in doubt before you, and day and night will be dark with fears, and nothing in life will be certain:

bbe@Deuteronomy:28:67 @In the morning you will say, If only it was evening! And at evening you will say, If only morning would come! Because of the fear in your hearts and the things which your eyes will see.

bbe@Deuteronomy:28:68 @And the Lord will take you back to Egypt again in ships, by the way of which I said to you, You will never see it again: there you will be offering yourselves as men-servants and women-servants to your haters for a price, and no man will take you.

bbe@Deuteronomy:29:1 @These are the words of the agreement which Moses was ordered by the Lord to make with the children of Israel in the land of Moab, in addition to the agreement which he made with them in Horeb.

bbe@Deuteronomy:29:8 @And we took their land and gave it to the Reubenites and the Gadites and the half-tribe of Manasseh, for their heritage.

bbe@Deuteronomy:29:9 @So keep the words of this agreement and do them, so that it may be well for you in everything you do.

bbe@Deuteronomy:29:10 @You have come here today, all of you, before the Lord your God; the heads of your tribes, the overseers, and those who are in authority over you, with all the men of Israel,

bbe@Deuteronomy:29:11 @And your little ones, your wives, and the men of other lands who are with you in your tents, down to the wood-cutter and the servant who gets water for you:

bbe@Deuteronomy:29:12 @With the purpose of taking part in the agreement of the Lord your God, and his oath which he makes with you today:

bbe@Deuteronomy:29:14 @And not with you only do I make this agreement and this oath;

bbe@Deuteronomy:29:15 @But with everyone who is here with us today before the Lord our God, as well as with those who are not here:

bbe@Deuteronomy:29:18 @So that there may not be among you any man or woman or family or tribe whose heart is turned away from the Lord our God today, to go after other gods and give them worship; or any root among you whose fruit is poison and bitter sorrow;

bbe@Deuteronomy:29:20 @The Lord will have no mercy on him, but the wrath of the Lord will be burning against that man, and all the curses recorded in this book will be waiting for him, and the Lord will take away his name completely from the earth.

bbe@Deuteronomy:29:21 @He will be marked out by the Lord, from all the tribes of Israel, for an evil fate, in keeping with all the curses of the agreement recorded in this book of the law.

bbe@Deuteronomy:29:22 @And future generations, your children coming after you, and travellers from far countries, will say, when they see the punishments of that land and the diseases which the Lord has sent on it;

bbe@Deuteronomy:29:23 @And that all the land is a salt and smoking waste, not planted or giving fruit or clothed with grass, but wasted like Sodom and Gomorrah, Admah and Zeboiim, on which the Lord sent destruction in the heat of his wrath:

bbe@Deuteronomy:29:25 @Then men will say, Because they gave up the agreement of the Lord, the God of their fathers, which he made with them when he took them out of the land of Egypt:

bbe@Deuteronomy:29:27 @And so the wrath of the Lord was moved against this land, to send on it all the curse recorded in this book:

bbe@Deuteronomy:30:2 @And your hearts are turned again to the Lord your God, and you give ear to his word which I give you today, you and your children, with all your heart and with all your soul:

bbe@Deuteronomy:30:3 @Then the Lord will have pity on you, changing your fate, and taking you back again from among all the nations where you have been forced to go.

bbe@Deuteronomy:30:5 @Placing you again in the land of your fathers as your heritage; and he will do you good, increasing you till you are more in number than your fathers were.

bbe@Deuteronomy:30:6 @And the Lord your God will give to you and to your seed a circumcision of the heart, so that, loving him with all your heart and all your soul, you may have life.

bbe@Deuteronomy:30:9 @And the Lord your God will make you fertile in all good things, blessing the work of your hands, and the fruit of your body, and the fruit of your cattle, and the fruit of your land: for the Lord will have joy in you, as he had in your fathers:

bbe@Deuteronomy:30:10 @If you give ear to the voice of the Lord your God, keeping his orders and his laws which are recorded in this book of the law, and turning to the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul.

bbe@Deuteronomy:30:14 @But the word is very near you, in your mouth and in your heart, so that you may do it.

bbe@Deuteronomy:30:16 @In giving you orders today to have love for the Lord your God, to go in his ways and keep his laws and his orders and his decisions, so that you may have life and be increased, and that the blessing of the Lord your God may be with you in the land where you are going, the land of your heritage.

bbe@Deuteronomy:30:18 @I give witness against you this day that destruction will certainly be your fate, and your days will be cut short in the land where you are going, the land of your heritage on the other side of Jordan.

bbe@Deuteronomy:30:19 @Let heaven and earth be my witnesses against you this day that I have put before you life and death, a blessing and a curse: so take life for yourselves and for your seed:

bbe@Deuteronomy:31:3 @The Lord your God, he will go over before you; he will send destruction on all those nations, and you will take their land as your heritage: and Joshua will go over at your head as the Lord has said.

bbe@Deuteronomy:31:4 @The Lord will do to them as he did to Sihon and to Og, the kings of the Amorites, and to their land, whom he put to destruction.

bbe@Deuteronomy:31:6 @Be strong and take heart, and have no fear of them: for it is the Lord your God who is going with you; he will not take away his help from you.

bbe@Deuteronomy:31:7 @Then Moses sent for Joshua, and before the eyes of all Israel said to him, Be strong and take heart: for you are to go with this people into the land which the Lord, by his oath to their fathers, has given them; by your help they will take it for their heritage.

bbe@Deuteronomy:31:8 @It is the Lord who goes before you; he will be with you, he will not take away his help from you or give you up: so have no fear.

bbe@Deuteronomy:31:9 @Then Moses put all this law in writing, and gave it to the priests, the sons of Levi, who take up the ark of the Lord's agreement, and to all the responsible men of Israel.

bbe@Deuteronomy:31:12 @Make all the people come together, men and women and children, and anyone from another country who is with you, so that hearing they may become wise in the fear of the Lord your God, and take care to do all the words of this law;

bbe@Deuteronomy:31:13 @And so that your children, to whom it is new, may give ear and be trained in the fear of the Lord your God, while you are living in the land which you are going over Jordan to take for your heritage.

bbe@Deuteronomy:31:16 @And the Lord said to Moses, Now you are going to rest with your fathers; and this people will be false to me, uniting themselves to the strange gods of the land where they are going; they will be turned away from me and will not keep the agreement I have made with them.

bbe@Deuteronomy:31:17 @In that day my wrath will be moved against them, and I will be turned away from them, veiling my face from them, and destruction will overtake them, and unnumbered evils and troubles will come on them; so that in that day they will say, Have not these evils come on us because our God is not with us?

bbe@Deuteronomy:31:19 @Make then this song for yourselves, teaching it to the children of Israel: put it in their mouths, so that this song may be a witness for me against the children of Israel.

bbe@Deuteronomy:31:20 @For when I have taken them into the land named in my oath to their fathers, a land flowing with milk and honey, and they have made themselves full of food and are fat, then they will be turned to other gods and will give them worship, no longer honouring me or keeping my agreement.

bbe@Deuteronomy:31:21 @Then when evils and troubles without number have overtaken them, this song will be a witness to them, for the words of it will be clear in the memories of their children: for I see the thoughts which are moving in their hearts even now, before I have taken them into the land of my oath

bbe@Deuteronomy:31:22 @So that same day Moses made this song, teaching it to the children of Israel.

bbe@Deuteronomy:31:23 @Then he gave orders to Joshua, the son of Nun, saying to him, Be strong and take heart: for you are to go at the head of the children of Israel into the land which I made an oath to give them; and I will be with you.

bbe@Deuteronomy:31:24 @Now after writing all the words of this law in a book till the record of them was complete,

bbe@Deuteronomy:31:25 @Moses said to the Levites who were responsible for taking up the ark of the Lord's agreement,

bbe@Deuteronomy:31:26 @Take this book of the law and put it by the ark of the Lord's agreement, so that it may be a witness against you.

bbe@Deuteronomy:31:28 @Get together before me all those who are in authority in your tribes, and your overseers, so that I may say these things in their hearing, and make heaven and earth my witnesses against them.

bbe@Deuteronomy:32:4 @He is the Rock, complete is his work; for all his ways are righteousness: a God without evil who keeps faith, true and upright is he.

bbe@Deuteronomy:32:7 @Keep in mind the days of the past, give thought to the years of generations gone by: go to your father and he will make it clear to you, to the old men and they will give you the story.

bbe@Deuteronomy:32:8 @When the Most High gave the nations their heritage, separating into groups the children of men, he had the limits of the peoples marked out, keeping in mind the number of the children of Israel.

bbe@Deuteronomy:32:9 @For the Lord's wealth is his people; Jacob is the land of his heritage.

bbe@Deuteronomy:32:11 @As an eagle, teaching her young to make their flight, with her wings outstretched over them, takes them up on her strong feathers:

bbe@Deuteronomy:32:12 @So the Lord only was his guide, no other god was with him.

bbe@Deuteronomy:32:14 @Butter from his cows and milk from his sheep, with fat of lambs and sheep of Bashan, and goats, and the heart of the grain; and for your drink, wine from the blood of the grape.

bbe@Deuteronomy:32:17 @They made offerings to evil spirits which were not God, to gods who were strange to them, which had newly come up, not feared by your fathers.

bbe@Deuteronomy:32:19 @And the Lord saw with disgust the evil-doing of his sons and daughters.

bbe@Deuteronomy:32:20 @And he said, My face will be veiled from them, I will see what their end will be: for they are an uncontrolled generation, children in whom is no faith.

bbe@Deuteronomy:32:21 @They have given my honour to that which is not God, moving me to wrath with their false worship: I will give their honour to those who are not a people, moving them to wrath by a foolish nation,

bbe@Deuteronomy:32:22 @For my wrath is a flaming fire, burning to the deep parts of the underworld, burning up the earth with her increase, and firing the deep roots of the mountains.

bbe@Deuteronomy:32:24 @They will be wasted from need of food, and overcome by burning heat and bitter destruction; and the teeth of beasts I will send on them, with the poison of the worms of the dust.

bbe@Deuteronomy:32:28 @For they are a nation without wisdom; there is no sense in them.

bbe@Deuteronomy:32:30 @How would it be possible for one to overcome a thousand, and two to send ten thousand in flight, if their rock had not let them go, if the Lord had not given them up?

bbe@Deuteronomy:32:32 @For their vine is the vine of Sodom, from the fields of Gomorrah: their grapes are the grapes of evil, and the berries are bitter:

bbe@Deuteronomy:32:36 @For the Lord will be judge of his people, he will have pity for his servants; when he sees that their power is gone, there is no one, shut up or free.

bbe@Deuteronomy:32:37 @And he will say, Where are their gods, the rock in which they put their faith?

bbe@Deuteronomy:32:42 @I will make my arrows red with blood, my sword will be feasting on flesh, with the blood of the dead and the prisoners, of the long-haired heads of my haters.

bbe@Deuteronomy:32:47 @And this is no small thing for you, but it is your life, and through this you may make your days long in the land which you are going over Jordan to take for your heritage.

bbe@Deuteronomy:32:49 @Go up into this mountain of Abarim, to Mount Nebo in the land of Moab opposite Jericho; there you may see the land of Canaan, which I am giving to the children of Israel for their heritage:

bbe@Deuteronomy:32:50 @And let death come to you on the mountain where you are going, and be put to rest with your people; as death came to Aaron, your brother, on Mount Hor, where he was put to rest with his people:

bbe@Deuteronomy:33:4 @Moses gave us a law, a heritage for the people of Jacob.

bbe@Deuteronomy:33:7 @And this is the blessing of Judah: he said, Give ear, O Lord, to the voice of Judah and make him one with his people: let your hands take up his cause, and be his help against his attackers.

bbe@Deuteronomy:33:8 @And of Levi he said, Give your Thummim to Levi and let the Urim be with your loved one, whom you put to the test at Massah, with whom you were angry at the waters of Meribah;

bbe@Deuteronomy:33:14 @And the good things of the fruits of the sun, and the good things of the growth of the moons,

bbe@Deuteronomy:33:16 @The good things of the earth and all its wealth, the good pleasure of him who was seen in the burning tree: may they come on the head of Joseph, on the head of him who was prince among his brothers.

bbe@Deuteronomy:33:17 @He is a young ox, glory is his; his horns are the horns of the mountain ox, with which all peoples will be wounded, even to the ends of the earth: they are the ten thousands of Ephraim and the thousands of Manasseh.

bbe@Deuteronomy:33:20 @Of Gad he said, A blessing be on him who makes wide the limits of Gad: he takes his rest like a she-lion, taking for himself the arm and the crown of the head.

bbe@Deuteronomy:33:23 @And of Naphtali he said, O Naphtali, made glad with grace and full of the blessing of the Lord: the sea and its fishes will be his.

bbe@Deuteronomy:33:24 @And of Asher he said, Let Asher have the blessing of children; may he be pleasing to his brothers, and let his foot be wet with oil.

bbe@Deuteronomy:33:28 @And Israel is living in peace, the fountain of Jacob by himself, in a land of grain and wine, with dew dropping from the heavens.

bbe@Deuteronomy:34:4 @And the Lord said to him, This is the land about which I made an oath to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, saying, I will give it to your seed: now I have let you see it with your eyes, but you will not go in there.

bbe@Deuteronomy:34:6 @And the Lord put him to rest in the valley in the land of Moab opposite Beth-peor: but no man has knowledge of his resting-place to this day.

bbe@Deuteronomy:34:9 @And Joshua, the son of Nun, was full of the spirit of wisdom; for Moses had put his hands on him: and the children of Israel gave ear to him, and did as the Lord had given orders to Moses.

bbe@Joshua:1:4 @From the waste land and this mountain Lebanon, as far as the great river, the river Euphrates, and all the land of the Hittites to the Great Sea, in the west, will be your country.

bbe@Joshua:1:5 @While you are living, all will give way before you: as I was with Moses, so I will be with you; I will not take away my help from you or give you up.

bbe@Joshua:1:6 @Take heart and be strong; for you will give to this people for their heritage the land which I gave by an oath to their fathers.

bbe@Joshua:1:7 @Only take heart and be very strong; take care to do all the law which Moses my servant gave you, not turning from it to the right hand or to the left, so that you may do well in all your undertakings.

bbe@Joshua:1:8 @Let this book of the law be ever on your lips and in your thoughts day and night, so that you may keep with care everything in it; then a blessing will be on all your way, and you will do well.

bbe@Joshua:1:9 @Have I not given you your orders? Take heart and be strong; have no fear and do not be troubled; for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go,

bbe@Joshua:1:10 @Then Joshua gave their orders to those who were in authority over the people, saying,

bbe@Joshua:1:11 @Go through the tents and give orders to the people, saying, Get ready a store of food; for in three days you are to go over this river Jordan and take for your heritage the land which the Lord your God is giving you.

bbe@Joshua:1:12 @And to the Reubenites and the Gadites and the half-tribe of Manasseh, Joshua said,

bbe@Joshua:1:14 @Your wives, your little ones, and your cattle will be kept here in the land which Moses gave you on this side of Jordan; but you, the fighting-men, are to go over before your brothers, armed, to give them help;

bbe@Joshua:1:15 @Till the Lord has given your brothers rest, as he has given it to you, and they have taken their heritage in the land which the Lord your God is giving them: then you will go back to the land of your heritage which Moses, the servant of the Lord, gave you on the east side of Jordan.

bbe@Joshua:1:17 @As we gave attention to Moses in all things, so we will give attention to you: and may the Lord your God be with you as he was with Moses.

bbe@Joshua:2:1 @Then Joshua, the son of Nun, sent two men from Shittim secretly, with the purpose of searching out the land, and Jericho. So they went and came to the house of a loose woman of the town, named Rahab, where they took their rest for the night.

bbe@Joshua:2:2 @And it was said to the king of Jericho, See, some men have come here tonight from the children of Israel with the purpose of searching out the land.

bbe@Joshua:2:3 @Then the king of Jericho sent to Rahab, saying, Send out the men who have come to you and are in your house; for they have come with the purpose of searching out all the land.

bbe@Joshua:2:5 @And when it was the time for shutting the doors at dark, they went out; I have no idea where the men went: but if you go after them quickly, you will overtake them.

bbe@Joshua:2:6 @But she had taken them up to the roof, covering them with the stems of flax which she had put out in order there.

bbe@Joshua:2:9 @And said to them, It is clear to me that the Lord has given you the land, and that the fear of you has come on us;

bbe@Joshua:2:10 @For we have had news of how the Lord made the Red Sea dry before you when you came out of Egypt; and what you did to the two kings of the Amorites, on the other side of Jordan, to Sihon and Og, whom you gave up to the curse.

bbe@Joshua:2:11 @And because of this news, our hearts became like water, and there was no more spirit in any of us because of you; for the Lord your God is God in heaven on high and here on earth.

bbe@Joshua:2:14 @And the men said to her, Our life for yours if you keep our business secret; and when the Lord has given us the land, we will keep faith and be kind to you.

bbe@Joshua:2:21 @And she said, Let it be as you say. Then she sent them away, and they went; and she put the bright red cord in the window.

bbe@Joshua:2:22 @And they went into the hill-country and were there three days, till the men who had gone after them had come back; and those who went after them were searching for them everywhere without coming across them.

bbe@Joshua:3:1 @Then Joshua got up early in the morning, and, moving on from Shittim, he and all the children of Israel came to Jordan and were there for the night before going over.

bbe@Joshua:3:2 @And at the end of three days, the men in authority over the people went through the tents,

bbe@Joshua:3:3 @Giving the people their orders, and saying, When you see the ark of the agreement of the Lord your God lifted up by the priests, the Levites, then get up from your places and go after it;

bbe@Joshua:3:4 @But let there be a space between you and it of about two thousand cubits: come no nearer to it, so that you may see the way you have to go, for you have not been over this way before.

bbe@Joshua:3:7 @And the Lord said to Joshua, From now on I will give you glory in the eyes of all Israel, so that they may see that, as I was with Moses, so I will be with you.

bbe@Joshua:3:10 @And Joshua said, By this you will see that the living God is among you, and that he will certainly send out from before you the Canaanite and the Hittite and the Hivite and the Perizzite and the Girgashite and the Amorite and the Jebusite

bbe@Joshua:3:16 @Then the waters flowing down from higher up were stopped and came together in a mass a long way back at Adam, a town near Zarethan; and the waters flowing down to the sea of the Arabah, the Salt Sea, were cut off: and the people went across opposite Jericho.

bbe@Joshua:3:17 @And the priests who took up the ark of the agreement of the Lord kept their places, with their feet on dry land in the middle of Jordan, while all Israel went over on dry land, till all the nation had gone over Jordan.

bbe@Joshua:4:3 @And say to them, Take up from the middle of Jordan, from the place where the feet of the priests were resting, twelve stones, and take them over with you and put them down in the place where you take your rest tonight.

bbe@Joshua:4:7 @Then you will say to them, Because the waters of Jordan were cut off before the ark of the Lord's agreement; when it went over Jordan the waters of Jordan were cut off: and these stones will be a sign for the children of Israel, keeping it in their memory for ever.

bbe@Joshua:4:8 @So the children of Israel did as Joshua gave them orders, and took twelve stones from the middle of Jordan, as the Lord had said to Joshua, one for every tribe of the children of Israel; these they took across with them to their night's resting-place and put them down there.

bbe@Joshua:4:16 @Give orders to the priests who take up the ark of witness, to come up out of Jordan.

bbe@Joshua:4:18 @And when the priests who took up the ark of the Lord's agreement came up out of Jordan and their feet came out on to dry land, the waters of Jordan went back to their place, overflowing its edges as before.

bbe@Joshua:4:23 @For the Lord your God made the waters of Jordan dry before you till you had gone across, as he did to the Red Sea, drying it up before us till we had gone across:

bbe@Joshua:5:1 @Now when the news came to all the kings of the Amorites on the west side of Jordan, and all the kings of the Canaanites living by the sea, how the Lord had made the waters of Jordan dry before the children of Israel, till they had gone across, their hearts became like water, and there was no more spirit in them, because of the children of Israel.

bbe@Joshua:5:6 @For the children of Israel were wandering in the waste land for forty years, till all the nation, that is, all the fighting-men, who had come out of Egypt, were dead, because they did not give ear to the voice of the Lord: to whom the Lord said, with an oath, that he would not let them see the land which the Lord had given his word to their fathers to give us, a land flowing with milk and honey.

bbe@Joshua:5:7 @And their children, who came up in their place, now underwent circumcision by the hands of Joshua, not having had it before: for there had been no circumcision on the journey.

bbe@Joshua:5:13 @Now when Joshua was near Jericho, lifting up his eyes he saw a man in front of him, with his sword uncovered in his hand: and Joshua went up to him and said, Are you for us or against us?

bbe@Joshua:5:14 @And he said, No; but I have come as captain of the armies of the Lord. Then Joshua, falling down with his face to the earth in worship, said, What has my lord to say to his servant?

bbe@Joshua:6:2 @And the Lord said to Joshua, See, I have given into your hands Jericho with its king and all its men of war.

bbe@Joshua:6:3 @Now let all your fighting-men make a circle round the town, going all round it once. Do this for six days.

bbe@Joshua:6:4 @And let seven priests go before the ark with seven loud-sounding horns in their hands: on the seventh day you are to go round the town seven times, the priests blowing their horns.

bbe@Joshua:6:8 @So after Joshua had said this to the people, the seven priests with their seven horns went forward before the Lord, blowing on their horns: and the ark of the Lord's agreement went after them.

bbe@Joshua:6:13 @And the seven priests with their seven horns went on before the ark of the Lord, blowing their horns: the armed men went before them, and the mass of the people went after the ark of the Lord, blowing their horns.

bbe@Joshua:6:15 @Then on the seventh day they got up early, at the dawn of the day, and went round the town in the same way, but that day they went round it seven times.

bbe@Joshua:6:17 @And the town will be put to the curse, and everything in it will be given to the Lord: only Rahab, the loose woman, and all who are in the house with her, will be kept safe, because she kept secret the men we sent.

bbe@Joshua:6:18 @And as for you, keep yourselves from the cursed thing, for fear that you may get a desire for it and take some of it for yourselves, and so be the cause of a curse and great trouble on the tents of Israel.

bbe@Joshua:6:21 @And they put everything in the town to the curse; men and women, young and old, ox and sheep and ass, they put to death without mercy.

bbe@Joshua:6:22 @Then Joshua said to the two men who had been sent to make a search through the land, Go into the house of the loose woman, and get her out, and all who are with her, as you gave her your oath.

bbe@Joshua:6:24 @Then, after burning up the town and everything in it, they put the silver and gold and the vessels of brass and iron into the store-house of the Lord's house.

bbe@Joshua:6:26 @Then Joshua gave the people orders with an oath, saying, Let that man be cursed before the Lord who puts his hand to the building up of this town: with the loss of his first son will he put the first stone of it in place, and with the loss of his youngest son he will put up its doors.

bbe@Joshua:6:27 @So the Lord was with Joshua; and news of him went through all the land.

bbe@Joshua:7:3 @Then they came back to Joshua and said to him, Do not send all the people up, but let about two or three thousand men go up and make an attack on Ai; there is no need for all the people to be tired with the journey there, for it is only a small town.

bbe@Joshua:7:6 @Then Joshua, in great grief, went down on the earth before the ark of the Lord till the evening, and all the chiefs of Israel with him, and they put dust on their heads.

bbe@Joshua:7:7 @And Joshua said, O Lord God, why have you taken us over Jordan only to give us up into the hands of the Amorites for our destruction? If only it had been enough for us to keep on the other side of Jordan!

bbe@Joshua:7:9 @For when the news comes to the Canaanites and all the people of the land, they will come up, shutting us in and cutting off our name from the earth: and what will you do for the honour of your great name?

bbe@Joshua:7:10 @Then the Lord said to Joshua, Get up; what are you doing with your face to the earth?

bbe@Joshua:7:11 @Israel has done wrong, sinning against the agreement which I made with them: they have even taken of the cursed thing; acting falsely like thieves they have put it among their goods.

bbe@Joshua:7:12 @For this reason the children of Israel have given way, turning their backs in flight before their attackers, because they are cursed: I will no longer be with you, if you do not put the cursed thing away from among you.

bbe@Joshua:7:15 @Then the man who is taken with the cursed thing is to be burned, with everything which is his; because he has gone against the agreement of the Lord and has done an act of shame in Israel.

bbe@Joshua:7:17 @Then he made Judah come forward, and the family of the Zerahites was taken; and he made the family of the Zerahites come forward man by man; and Zabdi was taken;

bbe@Joshua:7:21 @When I saw among their goods a fair robe of Babylon and two hundred shekels of silver, and a mass of gold, fifty shekels in weight, I was overcome by desire and took them; and they are put away in the earth in my tent, and the silver is under it.

bbe@Joshua:7:22 @So Joshua sent men quickly, and looking in his tent, they saw where the robe had been put away secretly with the silver under it.

bbe@Joshua:7:23 @And they took them from the tent and came back with them to Joshua and the children of Israel, and put them before the Lord.

bbe@Joshua:7:25 @And Joshua said, Why have you been a cause of trouble to us? Today the Lord will send trouble on you. And all Israel took part in stoning him; they had him stoned to death and then burned with fire.

bbe@Joshua:8:1 @Then the Lord said to Joshua, Have no fear and do not be troubled: take with you all the fighting-men and go up against Ai: for I have given into your hands the king of Ai and his people and his town and his land:

bbe@Joshua:8:2 @And you are to do to Ai and its king as you did to Jericho and its king: but their goods and their cattle you may take for yourselves: let a secret force be stationed to make a surprise attack on the town from the back.

bbe@Joshua:8:4 @And he gave them their orders, saying, Go and take up your position secretly at the back of the town: do not go very far away, and let all of you be ready:

bbe@Joshua:8:5 @And I and all the people with me will come near the town, and when they come out against us as they did before, we will go in flight from them;

bbe@Joshua:8:7 @Then you will get up from your secret position and take the town, for the Lord your God will give it up into your hands.

bbe@Joshua:8:8 @And when you have taken the town, put fire to it, as the Lord has said: see, I have given you your orders.

bbe@Joshua:8:9 @So Joshua sent them out: and they took up a secret position between Beth-el and Ai, on the west side of Ai: but Joshua kept with the people that night.

bbe@Joshua:8:11 @And all the fighting-men who were with him went up and came near the town, and took up a position on the north side of Ai facing the town, with a valley between him and the town.

bbe@Joshua:8:12 @And taking about five thousand men, he put them in position for a surprise attack on the west side of Ai, between Beth-el and Ai.

bbe@Joshua:8:14 @Now when the king of Ai saw it, he got up quickly and went out to war against Israel, he and all his people, to the slope going down to the valley; but he had no idea that a secret force was waiting at the back of the town.

bbe@Joshua:8:18 @And the Lord said to Joshua, Let your spear be stretched out against Ai; for I will give it into your hands

bbe@Joshua:8:19 @Then the secret force came quickly from their place, and running forward when they saw his hand stretched out, went into the town and took it, and put fire to it straight away.

bbe@Joshua:8:22 @Then the other force came out of the town against them, so that they were being attacked on this side and on that: and Israel overcame them and let not one of them get away with his life.

bbe@Joshua:8:24 @Then, after the destruction of all the people of Ai in the field and in the waste land where they went after them, and when all the people had been put to death without mercy, all Israel went back to Ai, and put to death all who were in it without mercy.

bbe@Joshua:8:26 @For Joshua did not take back his hand with the outstretched spear till the destruction of the people of Ai was complete.

bbe@Joshua:8:28 @So Joshua gave Ai to the flames, and made it a waste mass of stones for ever, as it is to this day.

bbe@Joshua:8:29 @And he put the king of Ai to death, hanging him on a tree till evening: and when the sun went down, Joshua gave them orders to take his body down from the tree, and put it in the public place of the town, covering it with a great mass of stones, which is there to this day.

bbe@Joshua:8:31 @In the way ordered by Moses, the servant of the Lord, as it is recorded in the book of the law of Moses, an altar of uncut stones, untouched by any iron instrument: and on it they made burned offerings and peace-offerings to the Lord.

bbe@Joshua:8:32 @And he made there on the stones a copy of the law of Moses, writing it before the eyes of the children of Israel.

bbe@Joshua:8:33 @And all Israel, those who were Israelites by birth, as well as the men from other lands living with them, and their responsible men and their overseers and judges, took their places round the ark, in front of the priests, the Levites, whose work it was to take up the ark of the Lord's agreement; half of them were stationed in front of Mount Gerizim and half in front of Mount Ebal, in agreement with the orders for the blessing of the children of Israel which Moses, the servant of the Lord, had given.

bbe@Joshua:8:34 @And after, he gave them all the words of the law, the blessing and the curse, as it is all recorded in the book of the law;

bbe@Joshua:8:35 @Reading to all the meeting of Israel, with the women and the children and the men from other lands who were living among them, every word of the orders which Moses had given.

bbe@Joshua:9:1 @Now on hearing the news of these things, all the kings on the west side of Jordan, in the hill-country and the lowlands and by the Great Sea in front of Lebanon, the Hittites and the Amorites, the Canaanites, the Perizzites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites,

bbe@Joshua:9:2 @Came together with one purpose, to make war against Joshua and Israel.

bbe@Joshua:9:4 @Acting with deceit, got food together as if for a long journey; and took old food-bags for their asses, and old and cracked wine-skins kept together with cord;

bbe@Joshua:9:5 @And put old stitched-up shoes on their feet, and old clothing on their backs; and all the food they had with them was dry and broken up.

bbe@Joshua:9:6 @And they came to Joshua to the tent-circle at Gilgal, and said to him and to the men of Israel, We have come from a far country: so now make an agreement with us.

bbe@Joshua:9:7 @And the men of Israel said to the Hivites, It may be that you are living among us; how then may we make an agreement with you?

bbe@Joshua:9:10 @And what he did to the two kings of the Amorites east of Jordan, to Sihon, king of Heshbon, and to Og, king of Bashan, at Ashtaroth.

bbe@Joshua:9:11 @So the responsible men and all the people of our country said to us, Take food with you for the journey and go to them, and say to them, We are your servants: so now make an agreement with us.

bbe@Joshua:9:12 @This bread which we have with us for our food, we took warm and new from our houses when starting on our journey to you; but now see, it has become dry and broken up.

bbe@Joshua:9:14 @And the men took some of their food, without requesting directions from the Lord.

bbe@Joshua:9:15 @So Joshua made peace with them, and made an agreement with them that they were not to be put to death: and the chiefs of the people took an oath to them.

bbe@Joshua:9:16 @Now three days after, when they had made this agreement with them, they had word that these men were their neighbours, living near them.

bbe@Joshua:9:24 @And, answering Joshua, they said, Because it came to the ears of your servants that the Lord your God had given orders to his servant Moses to give you all this land, and to send destruction on all the people living in it, because of you; so, fearing greatly for our lives because of you, we have done this.

bbe@Joshua:10:1 @Now when it came to the ears of Adoni-zedek, king of Jerusalem, that Joshua had taken Ai, and had given it up to the curse (for as he had done to Jericho and its king, so he had done to Ai and its king); and that the people of Gibeon had made peace with Israel and were living among them;

bbe@Joshua:10:2 @He was in great fear, because Gibeon was a great town, like one of the king's towns, greater than Ai, and all the men in it were men of war.

bbe@Joshua:10:4 @Come up to me and give me help, and let us make an attack on Gibeon: for they have made peace with Joshua and the children of Israel.

bbe@Joshua:10:5 @So the five kings of the Amorites, the king of Jerusalem, the king of Hebron, the king of Jarmuth, the king of Lachish, and the king of Eglon, were banded together, and went up with all their armies and took up their position before Gibeon and made war against it.

bbe@Joshua:10:6 @And the men of Gibeon sent to Joshua to the tent-circle at Gilgal, saying, Be not slow to send help to your servants; come up quickly to our support and keep us safe: for all the kings of the Amorites from the hill-country have come together against us.

bbe@Joshua:10:7 @So Joshua went up from Gilgal with all his army and all his men of war.

bbe@Joshua:10:11 @And in their flight before Israel, on the way down from Beth-horon, the Lord sent down great stones from heaven on them all the way to Azekah, causing their death: those whose death was caused by the stones were more than those whom the children of Israel put to death with the sword.

bbe@Joshua:10:12 @It was on the day when the Lord gave up the Amorites into the hands of the children of Israel that Joshua said to the Lord, before the eyes of Israel, Sun, be at rest over Gibeon; and you, O moon, in the valley of Aijalon.

bbe@Joshua:10:13 @And the sun was at rest and the moon kept its place till the nation had given punishment to their attackers. (Is it not recorded in the book of Jashar?) So the sun kept its place in the middle of the heavens, and was waiting, and did not go down, for the space of a day.

bbe@Joshua:10:14 @And there was no day like that, before it or after it, when the Lord gave ear to the voice of a man; for the Lord was fighting for Israel.

bbe@Joshua:10:15 @And Joshua, with all Israel, went back to the tent-circle at Gilgal.

bbe@Joshua:10:18 @And Joshua said, Let great stones be rolled against the mouth of the hole, and let men keep watch by it:

bbe@Joshua:10:19 @But do you, without waiting, go after their army, attacking them from the back; do not let them get into their towns, for the Lord your God has given them into your hands.

bbe@Joshua:10:24 @And when they had made those kings come out to Joshua, Joshua sent for all the men of Israel, and said to the chiefs of the men of war who had gone with him, Come near and put your feet on the necks of these kings. So they came near and put their feet on their necks.

bbe@Joshua:10:28 @That day Joshua took Makkedah, and put it and its king to the sword; every soul in it he gave up to the curse without mercy: and he did to the king of Makkedah as he had done to the king of Jericho.

bbe@Joshua:10:29 @Then Joshua and all Israel with him went on from Makkedah and came to Libnah, and made an attack on it;

bbe@Joshua:10:30 @And again the Lord gave it and its king into the hands of Israel; and he put it and every person in it to the sword, till their destruction was complete; and he did to its king as he had done to the king of Jericho.

bbe@Joshua:10:31 @Then Joshua and all Israel with him went on from Libnah to Lachish, and took up their position against it and made an attack on it,

bbe@Joshua:10:32 @And the Lord gave Lachish into the hands of Israel, and on the second day he took it, putting it and every person in it to the sword without mercy, as he had done to Libnah.

bbe@Joshua:10:34 @And Joshua and all Israel with him went on from Lachish to Eglon: and they took up their position against it and made an attack on it;

bbe@Joshua:10:35 @And that day they took it, putting it and every person in it to the sword, as he had done to Lachish.

bbe@Joshua:10:36 @And Joshua and all Israel with him went up from Eglon to Hebron, and made an attack on it;

bbe@Joshua:10:37 @And took it, overcoming it and putting it and its king and its towns and every person in it to the sword: as he had done to Eglon, he put them all to death, and gave it up to the curse with every person in it.

bbe@Joshua:10:38 @And Joshua and all Israel with him went on to make an attack on Debir;

bbe@Joshua:10:39 @And he took it, with its king and all its towns: and he put them to the sword, giving every person in it to the curse; all were put to death: as he had done to Hebron, so he did to Debir and its king.

bbe@Joshua:10:43 @Then Joshua and all Israel with him went back to their tents at Gilgal.

bbe@Joshua:11:3 @And to the Canaanites on the east and on the west, and to the Amorites and the Hittites and the Perizzites, and the Jebusites in the hill-country, and the Hivites under Hermon in the land of Mizpah.

bbe@Joshua:11:4 @And they went out, they and all their armies with them, a great people, in number like the sand on the seaside, with horses and war-carriages in great number.

bbe@Joshua:11:5 @And all these kings came together, and put their forces in position at the waters of Merom, to make war on Israel.

bbe@Joshua:11:6 @And the Lord said to Joshua, Have no fear of them: for tomorrow at this time I will give them all up dead before Israel; you are to have the leg-muscles of their horses cut and their war-carriages burned with fire.

bbe@Joshua:11:7 @So Joshua and all the men of war with him came against them suddenly at the waters of Merom, and made an attack on them.

bbe@Joshua:11:9 @And Joshua did to them as the Lord had said to him; he had the leg-muscles of their horses cut and their war-carriages burned with fire.

bbe@Joshua:11:10 @At that time, Joshua went on to take Hazor and put its king to the sword: for in earlier times Hazor was the chief of all those kingdoms.

bbe@Joshua:11:11 @And they put every person in it to death without mercy, giving every living thing up to the curse, and burning Hazor

bbe@Joshua:11:14 @And all the goods taken from these towns, and their cattle, the children of Israel kept for themselves; but every man they put to death without mercy, till their destruction was complete, and there was no one living.

bbe@Joshua:11:16 @So Joshua took all that land, the hill-country and all the South, and all the land of Goshen, and the lowland and the Arabah, the hill-country of Israel and its lowland;

bbe@Joshua:11:19 @Not one town made peace with the children of Israel, but only the Hivites of Gibeon: they took them all in war.

bbe@Joshua:11:20 @For the Lord made them strong in heart to go to war against Israel, so that he might give them up to the curse without mercy, and that destruction might come on them, as the Lord had given orders to Moses.

bbe@Joshua:11:23 @So Joshua took all the land, as the Lord had said to Moses; and Joshua gave it to the children of Israel as their heritage, making division of it among them by their tribes. And the land had rest from war.

bbe@Joshua:12:1 @Now these are the kings of the land whom the children of Israel overcame, taking as their heritage their land on the east side of Jordan, from the valley of the Arnon to Mount Hermon, and all the Arabah to the east:

bbe@Joshua:12:2 @Sihon, king of the Amorites, who was living in Heshbon, ruling from Aroer, which is on the edge of the valley of the Arnon, and the town in the middle of the valley, and half Gilead, as far as the river Jabbok, the limits of the children of Ammon;

bbe@Joshua:12:5 @Ruling in the mountain of Hermon, and in Salecah, and in all Bashan, as far as the limits of the Geshurites and the Maacathites, and half Gilead, to the land of Sihon, king of Heshbon.

bbe@Joshua:12:6 @Moses, the servant of the Lord, and the children of Israel overcame them; and Moses, the servant of the Lord, gave their land for a heritage to the Reubenites, and the Gadites, and the half-tribe of Manasseh.

bbe@Joshua:12:7 @And these are the kings of the land whom Joshua and the children of Israel overcame on the west side of Jordan, from Baal-gad in the valley of Lebanon to Mount Halak, which goes up to Seir; and Joshua gave the land to the tribes of Israel for a heritage, in keeping with their divisions;

bbe@Joshua:12:8 @In the hill-country, and in the lowland, and in the Arabah, and on the mountain slopes, and in the waste land, and in the South; the Hittites, the Amorites, and the Canaanites, the Perizzites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites.

bbe@Joshua:13:2 @This is the land which is still to be taken: all the country of the Philistines, and all the Geshurites;

bbe@Joshua:13:3 @From the Shihor, which is before Egypt, to the edge of Ekron to the north, which is taken to be Canaanite property: the five chiefs of the Philistines; the Gazites, and the Ashdodites, the Ashkelonites, the Gittites, and the Ekronites, as well as the Avvim;

bbe@Joshua:13:4 @On the south: all the land of the Canaanites, and Mearah which is the property of the Zidonians, to Aphek, as far as the limit of the Amorites:

bbe@Joshua:13:5 @And the land of the Gebalites, and all Lebanon, looking east, from Baal-gad under Mount Hermon as far as Hamath:

bbe@Joshua:13:6 @All the people of the hill-country from Lebanon to Misrephoth-maim, all the Zidonians; them will I send out from before the children of Israel: only make division of it to Israel for a heritage, as I have given you orders to do.

bbe@Joshua:13:7 @So now make division of this land for a heritage to the nine tribes, and the half-tribe of Manasseh.

bbe@Joshua:13:8 @With him the Reubenites and the Gadites have been given their heritage, which Moses gave them, on the east side of Jordan, as Moses, the servant of the Lord, gave them;

bbe@Joshua:13:10 @And all the towns of Sihon, king of the Amorites, who was ruling in Heshbon, to the limits of the children of Ammon;

bbe@Joshua:13:11 @And Gilead, and the land of the Geshurites and the Maacathites, and all Mount Hermon, and all Bashan to Salecah;

bbe@Joshua:13:13 @However, the people of Israel did not send out the Geshurites, or the Maacathites: but Geshur and Maacath are living among Israel to this day.

bbe@Joshua:13:14 @Only to the tribe of Levi he gave no heritage; the offerings of the Lord, the God of Israel, made by fire are his heritage, as he said to him.

bbe@Joshua:13:15 @And Moses gave their heritage to the tribe of Reuben by their families

bbe@Joshua:13:16 @Their limit was from Aroer, on the edge of the valley of the Arnon, and the town in the middle of the valley, and all the table-land by Medeba;

bbe@Joshua:13:21 @And all the towns of the table-land, and all the kingdom of Sihon, king of the Amorites, who was ruling in Heshbon, whom Moses overcame, together with the chiefs of Midian, Evi, and Rekem, and Zur, and Hur, and Reba, the chiefs of Sihon, who were living in the land.

bbe@Joshua:13:22 @And Balaam, the son of Beor, the prophet, the children of Israel put to death with the sword.

bbe@Joshua:13:23 @And the limit of the children of Reuben was the edge of Jordan. This was the heritage of the children of Reuben by their families, with its towns and its unwalled places.

bbe@Joshua:13:24 @And Moses gave their heritage to the tribe of Gad by their families.

bbe@Joshua:13:25 @And their limit was Jazer, and all the towns of Gilead, and half the land of the children of Ammon, to Aroer before Rabbah;

bbe@Joshua:13:27 @And in the valley, Beth-haram, and Beth-nimrah, and Succoth, and Zaphon, the rest of the kingdom of Sihon, king of Heshbon, having Jordan for its limit, to the end of the sea of Chinnereth on the east side of Jordan.

bbe@Joshua:13:28 @This is the heritage of the children of Gad by their families, with its towns and its unwalled places

bbe@Joshua:13:29 @And Moses gave their heritage to the half-tribe of Manasseh by their families.

bbe@Joshua:13:30 @And their limit was from Mahanaim, all Bashan, all the kingdom of Og, king of Bashan, and all Havvoth-Jair, in Bashan, sixty towns;

bbe@Joshua:13:32 @These are the heritages of which Moses made distribution in the lowlands of Moab, on the other side of Jordan in Jericho, to the east.

bbe@Joshua:13:33 @But to the tribe of Levi Moses gave no heritage: the Lord, the God of Israel, is their heritage, as he said to them.

bbe@Joshua:14:1 @And these are the heritages which the children of Israel took in the land of Canaan, which Eleazar, the priest, and Joshua, the son of Nun, and the heads of the tribes of the children of Israel, gave out to them;

bbe@Joshua:14:2 @Their heritage by the Lord's decision, as he gave orders by Moses, for the nine tribes and the half-tribe.

bbe@Joshua:14:3 @For Moses had given their heritage to the two tribes and the half-tribe on the other side of Jordan, but to the Levites he gave no heritage among them.

bbe@Joshua:14:4 @Because the children of Joseph were two tribes, Manasseh and Ephraim; and they gave the Levites no part in the land, only towns for their living-places, with the grass-lands for their cattle and for their property.

bbe@Joshua:14:6 @Then the children of Judah went to Joshua in Gilgal; and Caleb, the son of Jephunneh the Kenizzite, said to him, You have knowledge of what the Lord said to Moses, the man of God, about me and about you in Kadesh-barnea.

bbe@Joshua:14:7 @I was forty years old when Moses, the servant of the Lord, sent me from Kadesh-barnea to make a search through the land; and the account which I gave him was in keeping with his desire.

bbe@Joshua:14:8 @My brothers, however, who went up with me, made the heart of the people like water: but I was true to the Lord with all my heart.

bbe@Joshua:14:9 @And on that day Moses took an oath, saying, Truly the land where your feet have been placed will become a heritage for you and your children for ever, because you have been true to the Lord your God with all your heart.

bbe@Joshua:14:11 @And still, I am as strong today as I was when Moses sent me out: as my strength was then, so is it now, for war and for all the business of life.

bbe@Joshua:14:12 @So now, give me this hill-country named by the Lord at that time; for you had an account of it then, how the Anakim were there, and great walled towns: it may be that the Lord will be with me, and I will be able to take their land, as the Lord said.

bbe@Joshua:14:13 @And Joshua gave him his blessing; and he gave Hebron to Caleb, the son of Jephunneh, for his heritage.

bbe@Joshua:14:14 @So Hebron became the heritage of Caleb, the son of Jephunneh the Kenizzite, to this day, because with all his heart he was true to the Lord, the God of Israel.

bbe@Joshua:15:1 @Now the part of the land marked out for the children of Judah by families, went up to the edge of Edom, as far as the waste land of Zin to the south, to the farthest point of it on the south.

bbe@Joshua:15:2 @Their south limit was from the farthest part of the Salt Sea, from the inlet looking to the south:

bbe@Joshua:15:3 @From there it goes south of the slope up to Akrabbim, and on to Zin, then south past Kadesh-barnea, and on by Hezron and up to Addar, turning in the direction of Karka:

bbe@Joshua:15:4 @Then on to Azmon, ending at the stream of Egypt: and the end of the limit is at the sea; this will be your limit on the south.

bbe@Joshua:15:5 @And the east limit is the Salt Sea as far as the end of Jordan. And the limit of the north part of the land is from the inlet of the sea at the end of Jordan:

bbe@Joshua:15:7 @Then the line goes up to Debir from the valley of Achor, and so to the north, in the direction of Gilgal, which is opposite the slope up to Adummim, on the south side of the river: and the line goes on to the waters of En-shemesh, ending at En-rogel:

bbe@Joshua:15:8 @Then the line goes up by the valley of the son of Hinnom to the south side of the Jebusite (which is Jerusalem): then up to the top of the mountain in front of the valley of Hinnom to the west, which is at the farthest point of the valley of Rephaim on the north:

bbe@Joshua:15:9 @And the limit is marked out from the top of the mountain to the fountain of the waters of Nephtoah, and out to the towns of Mount Ephron, as far as Baalah (which is Kiriath-jearim):

bbe@Joshua:15:11 @And out to the side of Ekron to the north: then it is marked out to Shikkeron and on to Mount Baalah, ending at Jabneel; the end of the line is at the sea.

bbe@Joshua:15:12 @And the limit on the west is the edge of the Great Sea. This is the line going round the land marked out for the children of Judah, by their families.

bbe@Joshua:15:16 @And Caleb said, I will give Achsah, my daughter, as wife to the man who overcomes Kiriath-sepher and takes it.

bbe@Joshua:15:17 @And Othniel, the son of Kenaz, Caleb's brother, took it: so he gave him his daughter Achsah for his wife.

bbe@Joshua:15:18 @Now when she came to him, he put into her mind the idea of requesting a field from her father: and she got down from her ass; and Caleb said to her, What is it?

bbe@Joshua:15:20 @This is the heritage of the tribe of Judah, by their families.

bbe@Joshua:15:21 @The farthest towns of the tribe of Judah in the direction of the limits of Edom to the south, were Kabzeel, and Eder, and Jagur;

bbe@Joshua:15:23 @And Kedesh, and Hazor, and Ithnan;

bbe@Joshua:15:40 @And Cabbon, and Lahmas, and Chithlish;

bbe@Joshua:15:62 @And Nibshan, and the Town of Salt, and En-gedi; six towns with their unwalled places.

bbe@Joshua:15:63 @And as for the Jebusites living in Jerusalem, the children of Judah were unable to make them go out; but the Jebusites are living with the children of Judah at Jerusalem, to this day.

bbe@Joshua:16:1 @And the limit of the land marked out for the children of Joseph went out from Jordan at Jericho, at the waters of Jericho on the east, in the waste land, going up from Jericho through the hill-country to Beth-el;

bbe@Joshua:16:2 @And it goes out from Beth-el to Luz, and on as far as the limit of the Archites to Ataroth;

bbe@Joshua:16:3 @And it goes down to the west to the limit of the Japhletites, to the limit of Beth-horon the lower, as far as Gezer; ending at the sea.

bbe@Joshua:16:4 @And the children of Joseph, Manasseh and Ephraim, took their heritage.

bbe@Joshua:16:5 @And the limit of the land of the children of Ephraim by their families was marked out in this way: the limit of their heritage to the east was Ataroth-addar, to Beth-horon the higher;

bbe@Joshua:16:6 @The line goes out to the west at Michmethath on the north; then turning to the east to Taanath-shiloh, going past it on the east of Janoah;

bbe@Joshua:16:8 @From Tappuah the line goes on to the west to the river of Kanah; ending at the sea. This is the heritage of the children of Ephraim by their families;

bbe@Joshua:16:9 @Together with the towns marked out for the children of Ephraim in the heritage of Manasseh, all the towns with their unwalled places.

bbe@Joshua:16:10 @And the Canaanites who were living in Gezer were not forced out; but the Canaanites have been living among Ephraim, to this day, as servants, doing forced work.

bbe@Joshua:17:2 @And as for the rest of the children of Manasseh, their heritage was given to them by families; for the children of Abiezer, and for the children of Helek, and for the children of Asriel, and for the children of Shechem, and for the children of Hepher, and for the children of Shemida: these were the male children of Manasseh, the son of Joseph, by their families.

bbe@Joshua:17:4 @And they came before Eleazar the priest, and Joshua, the son of Nun, and before the chiefs, saying, The Lord gave orders to Moses to give us a heritage among our brothers: so in agreement with the orders of the Lord he gave them a heritage among their father's brothers.

bbe@Joshua:17:5 @And ten parts were given to Manasseh, in addition to the land of Gilead and Bashan, which is on the other side of Jordan;

bbe@Joshua:17:6 @Because the daughters of Manasseh had a heritage among his sons, and the land of Gilead was the property of the other sons of Manasseh.

bbe@Joshua:17:7 @And the limit of Manasseh's land was from Asher to Michmethath, which is before Shechem; the line goes on to the right hand, to the people of En-tappuah.

bbe@Joshua:17:9 @And the limit goes down to the stream Kanah, to the south of the stream: these towns were Ephraim's among the towns of Manasseh; Manasseh's limit was on the north side of the stream, ending at the sea:

bbe@Joshua:17:10 @To the south it is Ephraim's, and to the north it is Manasseh's, and the sea is his limit; and they are touching Asher on the north, and Issachar on the east.

bbe@Joshua:17:11 @In Issachar and Asher, Manasseh had Beth-shean and its daughter-towns, and Ibleam and its daughter-towns, and the people of Dor and its daughter-towns, and the people of En-dor and its daughter-towns, and the people of Taanach and its daughter-towns, and the people of Megiddo and its daughter-towns, that is, the three hills.

bbe@Joshua:17:12 @But the children of Manasseh were not able to make the people of those towns go out; but the Canaanites would go on living in that land.

bbe@Joshua:17:13 @And when the children of Israel had become strong, they put the Canaanites to forced work, in place of driving them out.

bbe@Joshua:17:14 @Then the children of Joseph said to Joshua, Why have you given me only one part and one stretch of land for my heritage? For through the blessing given to me by the Lord up to now, I am a great people.

bbe@Joshua:17:15 @Then Joshua said to them, If you are such a great people, go up into the woodlands, clearing a place there for yourselves in the land of the Perizzites and the Rephaim, if the hill-country of Ephraim is not wide enough for you.

bbe@Joshua:17:16 @And the children of Joseph said, The hill-country is not enough for us: and all the Canaanites living in the valley have iron war-carriages, those in Beth-shean and its towns as well as those in the valley of Jezreel.

bbe@Joshua:17:18 @For the hill-country of Gilead will be yours... the woodland and cut down... its outskirts will be yours... get the Canaanites out, for they have iron war-carriages... strong.

bbe@Joshua:18:2 @But there were still seven tribes among the children of Israel who had not taken up their heritage.

bbe@Joshua:18:3 @Then Joshua said to the children of Israel, Why are you so slow to go in and take up your heritage in the land which the Lord, the God of your fathers, has given you?

bbe@Joshua:18:4 @Take from among you three men from every tribe; and I will send them to go through the land and make a record of it for distribution as their heritage; then let them come back to me.

bbe@Joshua:18:5 @And let them make division of it into seven parts: let Judah keep inside his limit on the south, and let the children of Joseph keep inside their limit on the north.

bbe@Joshua:18:6 @And you are to have the land marked out in seven parts, and come back to me with the record; and I will make the distribution for you here by the decision of the Lord our God.

bbe@Joshua:18:7 @For the Levites have no part among you; to be the Lord's priests is their heritage; and Gad and Reuben and the half-tribe of Manasseh have had their heritage on the east side of Jordan, given to them by Moses, the servant of the Lord.

bbe@Joshua:18:8 @So the men got up and went; and Joshua gave orders to those who went, to make a record of the land, saying, Go up and down through the land, and make a record of it and come back here to me, and I will make the distribution for you here by the decision of the Lord in Shiloh.

bbe@Joshua:18:9 @So the men went, travelling through the land, and made a record of it by towns in seven parts in a book, and came back to Joshua to the tent-circle at Shiloh.

bbe@Joshua:18:11 @And the first heritage came out for the tribe of Benjamin by their families: and the limit of their heritage went between the children of Judah and the children of Joseph.

bbe@Joshua:18:12 @And their limit on the north was from the Jordan, and the line goes up to the side of Jericho on the north and through the hill-country to the west, ending at the waste land of Beth-aven.

bbe@Joshua:18:14 @And the limit is marked as coming round to the south on the west side from the mountain which is south of Beth-horon, and ending at Kiriath-baal (which is Kiriath-jearim), a town of the children of Judah: this is the west part.

bbe@Joshua:18:16 @And the line goes down to the farthest part of the mountain facing the valley of the son of Hinnom, which is on the north of the valley of Rephaim: from there it goes down to the valley of Hinnom, to the side of the Jebusite on the south as far as En-rogel;

bbe@Joshua:18:17 @And it goes to En-shemesh and on to Geliloth, opposite the way up to Adummim, and it goes down to the stone of Bohan, the son of Reuben;

bbe@Joshua:18:18 @And it goes on to the side facing the Arabah to the north, and down to the Arabah;

bbe@Joshua:18:19 @And on to the north side of Beth-hoglah, ending at the north inlet of the Salt Sea at the south end of Jordan; this is their limit on the south.

bbe@Joshua:18:20 @And the limit of the east part is the Jordan. This is the heritage of the children of Benjamin, marked out for their families by these limits on all sides.

bbe@Joshua:18:24 @And Chephar-Ammoni and Ophni and Geba; twelve towns with their unwalled places;

bbe@Joshua:18:28 @And Zela, Eleph and the Jebusite (which is Jerusalem), Gibeath and Kiriath; fourteen towns with their unwalled places. This is the heritage of the children of Benjamin by their families.

bbe@Joshua:19:1 @And the second heritage came out for the tribe of Simeon by their families; and their heritage was in the middle of the heritage of the children of Judah.

bbe@Joshua:19:2 @And they had for their heritage Beer-sheba and Shema and Moladah

bbe@Joshua:19:6 @And Beth-lebaoth and Sharuhen; thirteen towns with their unwalled places;

bbe@Joshua:19:7 @Ain, Rimmon, and Ether and Ashan; four towns with their unwalled places;

bbe@Joshua:19:8 @And all the unwalled places round about these towns as far as Baalath-beer-ramah to the south. This is the heritage of the tribe of Simeon by their families.

bbe@Joshua:19:9 @The heritage of Simeon was taken out of Judah's stretch of land, for Judah's part was more than they had need of, so the heritage of the children of Simeon was inside their heritage.

bbe@Joshua:19:10 @And the third heritage came out for Zebulun by their families; the limit of their heritage was as far as Sarid;

bbe@Joshua:19:11 @And their limit goes up to the west to Maralah, stretching to Dabbesheth, and to the stream in front of Jokneam;

bbe@Joshua:19:12 @Then turning east from Sarid to the limit of Chisloth-tabor, it goes out to Daberath, and up to Japhia;

bbe@Joshua:19:13 @And from there it goes on east to Gath-hepher, to Eth-kazin; ending at Rimmon which goes as far as Neah;

bbe@Joshua:19:14 @And the line goes round it on the north to Hannathon, ending at the valley of Iphtah-el;

bbe@Joshua:19:15 @And Kattath and Nahalal and Shimron and Idalah and Beth-lehem; twelve towns with their unwalled places.

bbe@Joshua:19:16 @This is the heritage of the children of Zebulun by their families, these towns with their unwalled places.

bbe@Joshua:19:17 @For Issachar the fourth heritage came out, for the children of Issachar by their families;

bbe@Joshua:19:18 @And their limit was to Jezreel and Chesulloth and Shunem

bbe@Joshua:19:20 @And Rabbith and Kishion and Ebez

bbe@Joshua:19:22 @And their limit goes as far as Tabor and Shahazimah and Beth-shemesh, ending at Jordan; sixteen towns with their unwalled places.

bbe@Joshua:19:23 @This is the heritage of the tribe of the children of Issachar by their families, these towns with their unwalled places.

bbe@Joshua:19:24 @And the fifth heritage came out for the tribe of Asher by their families.

bbe@Joshua:19:25 @And their limit was Helkath and Hali and Beten and Achshaph

bbe@Joshua:19:27 @Turning to the east to Beth-dagon and stretching to Zebulun and the valley of Iphtah-el as far as Beth-emek and Neiel to the north; on the left it goes as far as Cabul

bbe@Joshua:19:29 @And the limit goes round to Ramah and the walled town of Tyre and Hosah, ending at the sea by Heleb and Achzib;

bbe@Joshua:19:30 @And Ummah and Aphek and Rehob; twenty-two towns with their unwalled places.

bbe@Joshua:19:31 @This is the heritage of the tribe of the children of Asher by their families, these towns with their unwalled places.

bbe@Joshua:19:32 @For the children of Naphtali the sixth heritage came out, for the children of Naphtali by their families;

bbe@Joshua:19:33 @And their limit was from Heleph, from the oak-tree in Zaanannim, and Adami-hannekeb and Jabneel, as far as Lakkum, ending at Jordan;

bbe@Joshua:19:34 @And turning west to Aznoth-tabor, the limit goes out from there to Hukkok, stretching to Zebulun on the south, and Asher on the west, and Judah at Jordan on the east.

bbe@Joshua:19:38 @And Iron and Migdal-el, Horem and Beth-anath and Beth-shemesh; nineteen towns with their unwalled places.

bbe@Joshua:19:39 @This is the heritage of the tribe of the children of Naphtali by their families, these towns with their unwalled places.

bbe@Joshua:19:40 @For the tribe of Dan by their families the seventh heritage came out;

bbe@Joshua:19:41 @And the limit of their heritage was Zorah and Eshtaol and Ir-shemesh

bbe@Joshua:19:42 @And Shaalabbin and Aijalon and Ithlah

bbe@Joshua:19:46 @And on the west was... opposite Joppa.

bbe@Joshua:19:47 @(But the limit of the children of Dan was not wide enough for them; so the children of Dan went up and made war on Leshem and took it, putting it to the sword without mercy, and they took it for their heritage and made a place for themselves there, giving it the name of Leshem-dan, after the name of their father, Dan.)

bbe@Joshua:19:48 @This is the heritage of the tribe of the children of Dan by their families, these towns with their unwalled places.

bbe@Joshua:19:49 @So the distribution of the land and its limits was complete; and the children of Israel gave Joshua, the son of Nun, a heritage among them;

bbe@Joshua:19:51 @These are the heritages which Eleazar the priest and Joshua, the son of Nun, and the heads of families of the tribes of the children of Israel gave out at Shiloh, by the decision of the Lord, at the door of the Tent of meeting. So the distribution of the land was complete.

bbe@Joshua:20:3 @So that any man who in error and without design has taken the life of another, may go in flight to them: and they will be safe places for you from him who has the right of punishment for blood.

bbe@Joshua:20:5 @And if the one who has the right of punishment comes after him, they are not to give the taker of life up to him; because he was the cause of his neighbour's death without designing it and not in hate.

bbe@Joshua:21:1 @Then the heads of the families of the Levites came to Eleazar the priest and Joshua, the son of Nun, and to the heads of families of the tribes of the children of Israel;

bbe@Joshua:21:2 @And said to them in Shiloh in the land of Canaan, The Lord gave orders by Moses that we were to have towns for living in, with their grass-lands for our cattle.

bbe@Joshua:21:3 @And the children of Israel out of their heritage gave to the Levites these towns with their grass-lands, by the order of the Lord.

bbe@Joshua:21:4 @And the heritage came out for the families of the Kohathites: the children of Aaron the priest, who were of the Levites, were given thirteen towns from the tribes of Judah, Simeon, and Benjamin.

bbe@Joshua:21:8 @All these towns with their grass-lands the children of Israel gave by the decision of the Lord to the Levites, as the Lord had given orders by Moses.

bbe@Joshua:21:10 @These were for the children of Aaron among the families of the Kohathites, of the children of Levi: for they came first in the distribution.

bbe@Joshua:21:11 @They gave them Kiriath-arba, the town of Arba, the father of Anak, (which is Hebron) in the hill-country of Judah, with its grass-lands.

bbe@Joshua:21:12 @But the open country round the town, and its unwalled places, they gave to Caleb, the son of Jephunneh, as his property.

bbe@Joshua:21:13 @And to the children of Aaron the priest they gave Hebron with its grass-lands, the town where the taker of life might be safe, and Libnah with its grass-lands;

bbe@Joshua:21:14 @And Jattir with its grass-lands, and Eshtemoa with its grass-lands;

bbe@Joshua:21:15 @And Holon with its grass-lands, and Debir with its grass-lands;

bbe@Joshua:21:16 @And Ain, and Juttah, and Beth-shemesh, with their grass-lands; nine towns from those two tribes.

bbe@Joshua:21:17 @And from the tribe of Benjamin they gave Gibeon and Geba with their grass-lands;

bbe@Joshua:21:18 @Anathoth and Almon with their grass-lands, four towns.

bbe@Joshua:21:19 @Thirteen towns with their grass-lands were given to the children of Aaron, the priests.

bbe@Joshua:21:20 @The rest of the families of the children of Kohath, the Levites, were given towns from the tribe of Ephraim.

bbe@Joshua:21:21 @And they gave them Shechem with its grass-lands in the hill-country of Ephraim, the town where the taker of life might be safe, and Gezer with its grass-lands;

bbe@Joshua:21:22 @And Kibzaim and Beth-horon with their grass-lands, four towns.

bbe@Joshua:21:23 @And from the tribe of Dan, Elteke and Gibbethon with their grass-lands;

bbe@Joshua:21:24 @Aijalon and Gath-rimmon with their grass-lands, four towns.

bbe@Joshua:21:25 @And from the half-tribe of Manasseh, Taanach and Gath-rimmon with their grass-lands, two towns.

bbe@Joshua:21:26 @All the towns of the rest of the families of the children of Kohath were ten with their grass-lands.

bbe@Joshua:21:27 @And to the children of Gershon, of the families of the Levites, they gave from the half-tribe of Manasseh, Golan in Bashan with its grass-lands, the town where the taker of life might be safe, and Ashtaroth with its grass-lands, two towns.

bbe@Joshua:21:28 @And from the tribe of Issachar, Kishion and Daberath with their grass-lands;

bbe@Joshua:21:29 @Jarmuth and En-gannim with their grass-lands, four towns.

bbe@Joshua:21:30 @And from the tribe of Asher, Mishal and Abdon, with their grass-lands:

bbe@Joshua:21:31 @Helkath and Rehob with their grass-lands, four towns.

bbe@Joshua:21:32 @And from the tribe of Naphtali, Kedesh in Galilee with its grass-lands, the town where the taker of life might be safe, and Hammoth-dor and Kartan with their grass-lands, three towns.

bbe@Joshua:21:33 @All the towns of the Gershonites with their families were thirteen with their grass-lands.

bbe@Joshua:21:34 @And to the rest of the Levites, that is, the families of the children of Merari, they gave from the tribe of Zebulun, Jokneam and Kartah with their grass-lands;

bbe@Joshua:21:35 @Dimnah and Nahalal with their grass-lands, four towns.

bbe@Joshua:21:36 @And from the tribe of Reuben, Bezer and Jahaz with their grass-lands;

bbe@Joshua:21:37 @Kedemoth and Mephaath with their grass-lands, four towns.

bbe@Joshua:21:38 @And from the tribe of Gad, Ramoth in Gilead, the town where the taker of life might be safe, and Mahanaim with their grass-lands;

bbe@Joshua:21:39 @Heshbon and Jazer with their grass-lands, four towns.

bbe@Joshua:21:40 @All these towns were given to the children of Merari by their families, that is, the rest of the families of the Levites; and their heritage was twelve towns.

bbe@Joshua:21:41 @All the towns of the Levites, among the heritage of the children of Israel, were forty-eight towns with their grass-lands.

bbe@Joshua:21:42 @Every one of these towns had grass-lands round it.

bbe@Joshua:21:43 @So the Lord gave to Israel all the land which he gave by oath to their fathers; so it became their heritage and their living-place.

bbe@Joshua:21:45 @The Lord kept faith with the house of Israel about all the good which he said he would do for them, and all his words came true.

bbe@Joshua:22:1 @Then Joshua sent for the Reubenites and the Gadites and the half-tribe of Manasseh,

bbe@Joshua:22:3 @You have now been with your brothers for a long time; till this day you have been doing the orders of the Lord your God.

bbe@Joshua:22:4 @And now the Lord your God has given your brothers rest, as he said: so now you may go back to your tents, to the land of your heritage, which Moses, the Lord's servant, gave to you on the other side of Jordan.

bbe@Joshua:22:5 @Only take great care to do the orders and the law which Moses, the Lord's servant, gave you; to have love for the Lord your God and to go in all his ways; and to keep his laws and to be true to him and to be his servants with all your heart and with all your soul.

bbe@Joshua:22:7 @Now to the one half of the tribe of Manasseh, Moses had given a heritage in Bashan; but to the other half, Joshua gave a heritage among their brothers on the west side of Jordan. Now when Joshua sent them away to their tents, he gave them his blessing,

bbe@Joshua:22:8 @And said to them, Go back with much wealth to your tents, and with very much cattle, with silver and gold and brass and iron, and with a very great store of clothing; give your brothers a part of the goods taken in the war.

bbe@Joshua:22:9 @So Reuben and Gad and the half-tribe of Manasseh went back, parting from the children of Israel at Shiloh in the land of Canaan, to go to the land of Gilead, to the land of their heritage which had been given to them by the Lord's order to Moses.

bbe@Joshua:22:11 @And news came to the children of Israel, See, the children of Reuben and the children of Gad and the half-tribe of Manasseh have put up an altar opposite the land of Canaan, in the country by Jordan on the side which is Israel's.

bbe@Joshua:22:14 @And with him they sent ten chiefs, one for every tribe of the children of Israel, every one of them the head of his house among the families of Israel.

bbe@Joshua:22:19 @But if the land you now have is unclean, come over into the Lord's land where his House is, and take up your heritage among us: but do not be false to the Lord and to us by building yourselves an altar in addition to the altar of the Lord our God.

bbe@Joshua:22:22 @God, even God the Lord, God, even God the Lord, he sees, and Israel will see--if it is in pride or in sin against the Lord,

bbe@Joshua:22:23 @That we have made ourselves an altar, being false to the Lord, keep us not safe from death this day; and if for the purpose of offering burned offerings on it and meal offerings, or peace-offerings, let the Lord himself send punishment for it;

bbe@Joshua:22:24 @And if we have not, in fact, done this designedly and with purpose, having in our minds the fear that in time to come your children might say to our children, What have you to do with the Lord, the God of Israel?

bbe@Joshua:22:27 @But to be a witness between us and you, and between the future generations, that we have the right of worshipping the Lord with our burned offerings and our offerings of beasts and our peace-offerings; so that your children will not be able to say to our children in time to come, You have no part in the Lord.

bbe@Joshua:22:28 @For we said to ourselves, If they say this to us or to future generations, then we will say, See this copy of the Lord's altar which our fathers made, not for burned offerings or offerings of beasts, but for a witness between us and you.

bbe@Joshua:22:29 @Never let it be said that we were false to the Lord, turning back this day from him and building an altar for burned offerings and meal offerings and offerings of beasts, in addition to the altar of the Lord our God which is before his House.

bbe@Joshua:22:30 @Then Phinehas the priest and the chiefs of the meeting and the heads of the families of Israel who were with him, hearing what the children of Reuben and the children of Gad and the children of Manasseh said, were pleased.

bbe@Joshua:22:34 @And the children of Reuben and the children of Gad gave to that altar the name of Ed. For, they said, It is a witness between us that the Lord is God.

bbe@Joshua:23:3 @You have seen everything the Lord your God has done to all these nations because of you; for it is the Lord your God who has been fighting for you.

bbe@Joshua:23:4 @Now I have given to you, as the heritage of your tribes, all these nations which are still in the land, together with those cut off by me, from Jordan as far as the Great Sea on the west.

bbe@Joshua:23:5 @The Lord your God will send them away by force, driving them out before you; and you are to take their land for your heritage, as the Lord your God said to you.

bbe@Joshua:23:6 @So be very strong to keep and do whatever is recorded in the book of the law of Moses, not turning away from it to the right or to the left;

bbe@Joshua:23:7 @Have nothing to do with these nations who still are living among you; let not their gods be named by you or used in your oaths; do not be their servants or give them worship:

bbe@Joshua:23:10 @One man of you is able to put to flight a thousand; for it is the Lord your God who is fighting for you, as he has said to you.

bbe@Joshua:23:12 @For if you go back, joining yourselves to the rest of these nations who are still among you, getting married to them and living with them and they with you:

bbe@Joshua:23:14 @Now I am about to go the way of all the earth: and you have seen and are certain, all of you, in your hearts and souls, that in all the good things which the Lord said about you, he has kept faith with you; everything has come true for you.

bbe@Joshua:24:4 @And to Isaac I gave Jacob and Esau: to Esau I gave Mount Seir, as his heritage; but Jacob and his children went down to Egypt.

bbe@Joshua:24:6 @I took your fathers out of Egypt: and you came to the Red Sea; and the Egyptians came after your fathers to the Red Sea, with their war-carriages and their horsemen.

bbe@Joshua:24:7 @And at their cry, the Lord made it dark between you and the Egyptians, and made the sea go over them, covering them with its waters; your eyes have seen what I did in Egypt: then for a long time you were living in the waste land.

bbe@Joshua:24:8 @And I took you into the lands of the Amorites on the other side of Jordan; and they made war on you, and I gave them into your hands and you took their land; and I sent destruction on them before you.

bbe@Joshua:24:11 @Then you went over Jordan and came to Jericho: and the men of Jericho made war on you, the Amorites and the Perizzites and the Canaanites and the Hittites and the Girgashites and the Hivites and the Jebusites: and I gave them up into your hands.

bbe@Joshua:24:12 @And I sent the hornet before you, driving out the two kings of the Amorites before you, not with your sword and your bow.

bbe@Joshua:24:14 @So now, go in fear of the Lord, and be his servants with true hearts: put away the gods worshipped by your fathers across the River and in Egypt, and be servants of the Lord.

bbe@Joshua:24:15 @And if it seems evil to you to be the servants of the Lord, make the decision this day whose servants you will be: of the gods whose servants your fathers were across the River, or of the gods of the Amorites in whose land you are living: but I and my house will be the servants of the Lord.

bbe@Joshua:24:17 @For it is the Lord our God who has taken us and our fathers out of the land of Egypt, out of the prison-house, and who did all those great signs before our eyes, and kept us safe on all our journeys, and among all the peoples through whom we went:

bbe@Joshua:24:18 @And the Lord sent out from before us all the peoples, the Amorites living in the land: so we will be the servants of the Lord, for he is our God.

bbe@Joshua:24:22 @And Joshua said to the people, You are witnesses against yourselves that you have made the decision to be the servants of the Lord. And they said, We are witnesses.

bbe@Joshua:24:25 @So Joshua made an agreement with the people that day, and gave them a rule and a law in Shechem.

bbe@Joshua:24:26 @And Joshua put these words on record, writing them in the book of the law of God; and he took a great stone, and put it up there under the oak-tree which was in the holy place of the Lord.

bbe@Joshua:24:27 @And Joshua said to all the people, See now, this stone is to be a witness against us; for all the words of the Lord have been said to us in its hearing: so it will be a witness against you if you are false to the Lord your God.

bbe@Joshua:24:28 @Then Joshua let the people go away, every man to his heritage.

bbe@Joshua:24:30 @And they put his body in the earth in the land of his heritage in Timnath-serah, in the hill-country of Ephraim, to the north of Mount Gaash.

bbe@Joshua:24:32 @And the bones of Joseph, which the children of Israel had taken up from Egypt, they put in the earth in Shechem, in the property which Jacob had got from the sons of Hamor, the father of Shechem, for a hundred shekels: and they became the heritage of the children of Joseph.

bbe@Judges:1:1 @Now after the death of Joshua, the children of Israel made request to the Lord, saying, Who is to go up first to make war for us against the Canaanites?

bbe@Judges:1:3 @Then Judah said to Simeon his brother, Come up with me into my heritage, so that we may make war against the Canaanites; and I will then go with you into your heritage. So Simeon went with him.

bbe@Judges:1:4 @And Judah went up; and the Lord gave the Canaanites and the Perizzites into their hands; and they overcame ten thousand of them in Bezek.

bbe@Judges:1:5 @And they came across Adoni-zedek, and made war on him; and they overcame the Canaanites and the Perizzites.

bbe@Judges:1:8 @Then the children of Judah made an attack on Jerusalem, and took it, burning down the town after they had put its people to the sword without mercy.

bbe@Judges:1:9 @After that the children of Judah went down to make war on the Canaanites living in the hill-country and in the south and in the lowlands.

bbe@Judges:1:10 @And Caleb went against the Canaanites of Hebron: (now in earlier times Hebron was named Kiriath-arba:) and he put Sheshai and Ahiman and Talmai to the sword.

bbe@Judges:1:12 @And Caleb said, I will give Achsah, my daughter, as wife to the man who overcomes Kiriath-sepher and takes it.

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

bbe@Judges:1:14 @Now when she came to him, he put into her mind the idea of requesting a field from her father: and she got down from her ass; and Caleb said to her, What is it?

bbe@Judges:1:16 @Now Hobab the Kenite, Moses' father-in-law, had come up out of the town of palm-trees, with the children of Judah, into the waste land of Arad; and he went and was living among the Amalekites;

bbe@Judges:1:17 @And Judah went with Simeon, his brother, and overcame the Canaanites living in Zephath, and put it under the curse; and he gave the town the name of Hormah.

bbe@Judges:1:18 @Then Judah took Gaza and its limit, and Ashkelon and its limit, and Ekron and its limit.

bbe@Judges:1:19 @And the Lord was with Judah; and he took the hill-country for his heritage; but he was unable to make the people of the valley go out, for they had war-carriages of iron.

bbe@Judges:1:21 @And the children of Judah did not make the Jebusites who were living in Jerusalem go out; the Jebusites are still living with the children of Benjamin in Jerusalem.

bbe@Judges:1:22 @And the family of Joseph went up against Beth-el, and the Lord was with them.

bbe@Judges:1:25 @So he made clear to them the way into the town, and they put it to the sword; but they let the man and all his family get away safe.

bbe@Judges:1:26 @And he went into the land of the Hittites, building a town there and naming it Luz: which is its name to this day.

bbe@Judges:1:27 @And Manasseh did not take away the land of the people of Beth-shean and its daughter-towns, or of Taanach and its daughter-towns, or of the people of Dor and its daughter-towns, or of the people of Ibleam and its daughter-towns, or of the people of Megiddo and its daughter-towns, driving them out; but the Canaanites would go on living in that land.

bbe@Judges:1:28 @And whenever Israel became strong, they put the Canaanites to forced work, without driving them out completely.

bbe@Judges:1:29 @And Ephraim did not make the Canaanites who were living in Gezer go out; but the Canaanites went on living in Gezer among them.

bbe@Judges:1:30 @Zebulun did not make the people of Kitron or the people of Nahalol go out; but the Canaanites went on living among them and were put to forced work.

bbe@Judges:1:32 @But the Asherites went on living among the Canaanites, the people of the land, without driving them out.

bbe@Judges:1:33 @Naphtali did not take the land of the people of Beth-shemesh or of Beth-anath, driving them out; but he was living among the Canaanites in the land; however, the people of Beth-shemesh and Beth-anath were put to forced work.

bbe@Judges:1:34 @And the children of Dan were forced into the hill-country by the Amorites, who would not let them come down into the valley;

bbe@Judges:1:35 @For the Amorites would go on living in Mount Heres, in Aijalon, and in Shaalbim; but the children of Joseph became stronger than they, and put them to forced work.

bbe@Judges:1:36 @And the limit of the Edomites went from the slope of Akrabbim from Sela and up.

bbe@Judges:2:1 @Now the angel of the Lord came up from Gilgal to Bochim. And he said, *** I took you out of Egypt, guiding you into the land which I gave by an oath to your fathers; and I said, My agreement with you will never be broken by me:

bbe@Judges:2:2 @And you are to make no agreement with the people of this land; you are to see that their altars are broken down: but you have not given ear to my voice: what have you done?

bbe@Judges:2:6 @And Joshua let the people go away, and the children of Israel went, every man to his heritage, to take the land for themselves.

bbe@Judges:2:9 @And they put his body in the earth in the land of his heritage in Timnath-heres, in the hill-country of Ephraim to the north of Mount Gaash.

bbe@Judges:2:15 @Wherever they went out, the hand of the Lord was against them for evil, as the Lord had taken his oath it would be; and things became very hard for them.

bbe@Judges:2:18 @And whenever the Lord gave them judges, then the Lord was with the judge, and was their saviour from the hands of their haters all the days of the judge; for the Lord was moved by their cries of grief because of those who were cruel to them.

bbe@Judges:2:20 @And the wrath of the Lord was burning against Israel, and he said, Because this nation has not been true to my agreement which I made with their fathers, and has not given ear to my voice;

bbe@Judges:2:22 @In order to put Israel to the test, and see if they will keep the way of the Lord, walking in it as their fathers did, or not.

bbe@Judges:3:2 @Only because of the generations of the children of Israel, for the purpose of teaching them war--only those who up till then had no experience of it;

bbe@Judges:3:3 @The five chiefs of the Philistines, and all the Canaanites and the Zidonians and the Hivites living in Mount Lebanon, from the mountain Baal-hermon as far as Hamath:

bbe@Judges:3:5 @Now the children of Israel were living among the Canaanites, the Hittites, and the Amorites, and the Perizzites, and the Hivites, and the Jebusites:

bbe@Judges:3:10 @And the spirit of the Lord came on him and he became judge of Israel, and went out to war, and the Lord gave up Cushan-rishathaim, king of Mesopotamia, into his hands and he overcame him

bbe@Judges:3:15 @Then when the children of Israel made prayer to the Lord, he gave them a saviour, Ehud, the son of Gera, the Benjamite, a left-handed man; and the children of Israel sent an offering by him to Eglon, king of Moab.

bbe@Judges:3:16 @So Ehud made himself a two-edged sword, a cubit long, which he put on at his right side under his robe.

bbe@Judges:3:18 @And after giving the offering, he sent away the people who had come with the offering.

bbe@Judges:3:19 @But he himself, turning back from the stone images at Gilgal, said, I have something to say to you in secret, O king. And he said, Let there be quiet. Then all those who were waiting before him went out.

bbe@Judges:3:21 @And Ehud put out his left hand, and took the sword from his right side, and sent it into his stomach;

bbe@Judges:3:24 @Now when he had gone, the king's servants came, and saw that the doors of the summer-house were locked; and they said, It may be that he is in his summer-house for a private purpose.

bbe@Judges:3:25 @And they went on waiting till they were shamed, but the doors were still shut; so they took the key, and, opening them, saw their lord stretched out dead on the floor.

bbe@Judges:3:26 @But Ehud had got away while they were waiting and had gone past the stone images and got away to Seirah.

bbe@Judges:3:27 @And when he came there, he had a horn sounded in the hill-country of Ephraim, and all the children of Israel went down with him from the hill-country, and he at their head.

bbe@Judges:3:28 @And he said to them, Come after me; for the Lord has given the Moabites, your haters, into your hands. So they went down after him and took the crossing-places of Jordan against Moab, and let no one go across.

bbe@Judges:3:31 @And after him came Shamgar, the son of Anath, who put to death six hundred Philistines with an ox-stick; and he was another saviour of Israel.

bbe@Judges:4:6 @And she sent for Barak, the son of Abinoam, from Kedesh-naphtali, and said to him, Has not the Lord, the God of Israel, given orders saying, Go and get your force into line in Mount Tabor, and take with you ten thousand men of the children of Naphtali and of the children of Zebulun?

bbe@Judges:4:7 @And I will make Sisera, the captain of Jabin's army, with his war-carriages and his forces, come against you at the river Kishon, where I will give him into your hands.

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

bbe@Judges:4:9 @And she said, I will certainly go with you: though you will get no honour in your undertaking, for the Lord will give Sisera into the hands of a woman. So Deborah got up and went with Barak to Kedesh.

bbe@Judges:4:10 @Then Barak sent for Zebulun and Naphtali to come to Kedesh; and ten thousand men went up after him, and Deborah went up with him

bbe@Judges:4:11 @Now Heber the Kenite, separating himself from the rest of the Kenites, from the children of Hobab, the brother-in-law of Moses, had put up his tent as far away as the oak-tree in Zaanannim, by Kedesh.

bbe@Judges:4:13 @So Sisera got together all his war-carriages, nine hundred war-carriages of iron, and all the people who were with him, from Harosheth of the Gentiles as far as the river Kishon.

bbe@Judges:4:17 @But Sisera went in flight on foot to the tent of Jael, the wife of Heber the Kenite; for there was peace between Jabin, king of Hazor, and the family of Heber the Kenite.

bbe@Judges:4:18 @And Jael went out to Sisera, and said to him, Come in, my lord, come in to me without fear. So he went into her tent, and she put a cover over him.

bbe@Judges:4:19 @Then he said to her, Give me now a little water, for I have need of a drink. And opening a skin of milk, she gave him drink, and put the cover over him again.

bbe@Judges:4:21 @Then Jael, Heber's wife, took a tent-pin and a hammer and went up to him quietly, driving the pin into his head, and it went through his head into the earth, for he was in a deep sleep from weariness; and so he came to his end.

bbe@Judges:4:22 @Then Jael went out, and meeting Barak going after Sisera, said to him, Come, and I will let you see the man you are searching for. So he came into her tent and saw, and there was Sisera stretched out dead with the tent-pin in his head.

bbe@Judges:5:10 @Let them give thought to it, who go on white asses, and those who are walking on the road.

bbe@Judges:5:15 @Your chiefs, Issachar, were with Deborah; and Naphtali was true to Barak; into the valley they went rushing out at his feet. In Reuben there were divisions, and great searchings of heart.

bbe@Judges:5:17 @Gilead was living over Jordan; and Dan was waiting in his ships; Asher kept in his place by the sea's edge, living by his inlets.

bbe@Judges:5:18 @It was the people of Zebulun who put their lives in danger, even to death, with Naphtali on the high places of the field.

bbe@Judges:5:19 @The kings came on to the fight, the kings of Canaan were warring; in Taanach by the waters of Megiddo: they took no profit in money.

bbe@Judges:5:22 @Then loudly the feet of the horses were sounding with the stamping, the stamping of their war-horses.

bbe@Judges:5:23 @A curse, a curse on Meroz! said the angel of the Lord. A bitter curse on her townspeople! Because they came not to the help of the Lord, to the help of the Lord among the strong ones.

bbe@Judges:6:2 @And Midian was stronger than Israel; and because of the Midianites, the children of Israel made holes for themselves in the mountains, and hollows in the rocks, and strong places.

bbe@Judges:6:3 @And whenever Israel's grain was planted, the Midianites and the Amalekites and the people of the east came up against them;

bbe@Judges:6:4 @And put their army in position against them; and they took all the produce of the earth as far as Gaza, till there was no food in Israel, or any sheep or oxen or asses.

bbe@Judges:6:5 @For they came up regularly with their oxen and their tents; they came like the locusts in number; they and their camels were without number; and they came into the land for its destruction.

bbe@Judges:6:10 @And I said to you, I am the Lord your God; you are not to give worship to the gods of the Amorites in whose land you are living, but you did not give ear to my voice.

bbe@Judges:6:11 @Now the angel of the Lord came and took his seat under the oak-tree in Ophrah, in the field of Joash the Abiezrite; and his son Gideon was crushing grain in the place where the grapes were crushed, so that the Midianites might not see it.

bbe@Judges:6:12 @And the angel of the Lord came before his eyes, and said to him, The Lord is with you, O man of war.

bbe@Judges:6:13 @Then Gideon said to him, O my lord, if the Lord is with us why has all this come on us? And where are all his works of power, of which our fathers have given us word, saying, Did not the Lord take us out of Egypt? But now he has given us up, handing us over to the power of Midian.

bbe@Judges:6:16 @Then the Lord said to him, Truly, I will be with you, and you will overcome the Midianites as if they were one man.

bbe@Judges:6:17 @So he said to him, If now I have grace in your eyes, then give me a sign that it is you who are talking to me.

bbe@Judges:6:18 @Do not go away till I come with my offering and put it before you. And he said, I will not go away before you come back.

bbe@Judges:6:19 @Then Gideon went in and made ready a young goat, and with an ephah of meal he made unleavened cakes: he put the meat in a basket and the soup in which it had been cooked he put in a pot, and he took it out to him under the oak-tree and gave it to him there.

bbe@Judges:6:21 @Then the angel of the Lord put out the stick which was in his hand, touching the meat and the cakes with the end of it; and a flame came up out of the rock, burning up the meat and the cakes: and the angel of the Lord was seen no longer.

bbe@Judges:6:23 @But the Lord said to him, Peace be with you; have no fear: you are in no danger of death.

bbe@Judges:6:24 @Then Gideon made an altar there to the Lord, and gave it the name Yahweh-shalom; to this day it is in Ophrah of the Abiezrites.

bbe@Judges:6:25 @The same night the Lord said to him, Take ten men of your servants and an ox seven years old, and after pulling down the altar of Baal which is your father's, and cutting down the holy tree by its side,

bbe@Judges:6:26 @Make an altar to the Lord your God on the top of this rock, in the ordered way and take the ox and make a burned offering with the wood of the holy tree which has been cut down.

bbe@Judges:6:27 @Then Gideon took ten of his servants and did as the Lord had said to him; but fearing to do it by day, because of his father's people and the men of the town, he did it by night.

bbe@Judges:6:28 @And the men of the town got up early in the morning, and they saw the altar of Baal broken down, and the holy tree which was by it cut down, and the ox offered on the altar which had been put up there.

bbe@Judges:6:29 @And they said to one another, Who has done this thing? And after searching with care, they said, Gideon, the son of Joash, has done this thing.

bbe@Judges:6:30 @Then the men of the town said to Joash, Make your son come out to be put to death, for pulling down the altar of Baal and cutting down the holy tree which was by it.

bbe@Judges:6:31 @But Joash said to all those who were attacking him, Will you take up the cause of Baal? will you be his saviour? Let anyone who will take up his cause be put to death while it is still morning: if he is a god, let him take up his cause himself because of the pulling down of his altar.

bbe@Judges:6:33 @Then all the Midianites and the Amalekites and the people of the east, banding themselves together, went over and put up their tents in the valley of Jezreel.

bbe@Judges:6:34 @But the spirit of the Lord came on Gideon; and at the sound of his horn all Abiezer came together after him.

bbe@Judges:6:37 @See, I will put the wool of a sheep on the grain-floor; if there is dew on the wool only, while all the earth is dry, then I will be certain that it is your purpose to give Israel salvation by my hand as you have said.

bbe@Judges:6:38 @And it was so: for he got up early on the morning after, and twisting the wool in his hands, he got a basin full of water from the dew on the wool.

bbe@Judges:6:39 @Then Gideon said to God, Do not be moved to wrath against me if I say only this: let me make one more test with the wool; let the wool now be dry, while the earth is covered with dew.

bbe@Judges:6:40 @And that night God did so; for the wool was dry, and there was dew on all the earth round it.

bbe@Judges:7:1 @Then Jerubbaal, that is, Gideon, and all the people with him, got up early and put up their tents by the side of the water-spring of Harod; the tents of Midian were on the north side of him, under the hill of Moreh in the valley.

bbe@Judges:7:2 @And the Lord said to Gideon, So great is the number of your people, that if I give the Midianites into their hands they will be uplifted in pride over me and will say, I myself have been my saviour.

bbe@Judges:7:3 @So now, let it be given out to the people that anyone who is shaking with fear is to go back from Mount Galud. So twenty-two thousand of the people went back, but there were still ten thousand.

bbe@Judges:7:4 @Then the Lord said to Gideon, There are still more people than is necessary; take them down to the water so that I may put them to the test for you there; then whoever I say is to go with you will go, and whoever I say is not to go will not go.

bbe@Judges:7:5 @So he took the people down to the water; and the Lord said to Gideon, Put on one side by themselves all those drinking up the water with their tongues like a dog; and in the same way, all those who go down on their knees to the water while drinking.

bbe@Judges:7:6 @Now the number of those who took up the water with their tongues was three hundred; all the rest of the people went down on their knees to the water.

bbe@Judges:7:7 @And the Lord said to Gideon, By those three hundred who were drinking with their tongues I will give you salvation and give the Midianites into your hands; let the rest of the people go away, every man to his place.

bbe@Judges:7:10 @But if you have fear of going down, take your servant Purah with you and go down to the tents;

bbe@Judges:7:11 @And after hearing what they are saying, you will get strength to go down against the army. So he went down with his servant Purah to the outer line of the tents of the armed men.

bbe@Judges:7:12 @Now the Midianites and the Amalekites and all the people of the east were covering the valley like locusts; and their camels were like the sand by the seaside, without number.

bbe@Judges:7:13 @When Gideon came there, a man was giving his friend an account of his dream, saying, See, I had a dream about a cake of barley bread which, falling into the tents of Midian, came on to the tent, overturning it so that it was stretched out flat on the earth.

bbe@Judges:7:15 @Then Gideon, hearing the story of the dream and the sense in which they took it, gave worship; then he went back to the tents of Israel, and said, Up! for the Lord has given the army of Midian into your hands.

bbe@Judges:7:18 @At the sound of my horn, and the horns of those who are with me, let your horns be sounded all round the tents, and say, For the Lord and for Gideon.

bbe@Judges:7:19 @So Gideon and the three hundred men who were with him came to the outer line of tents, at the start of the middle watch, when the watchmen had only then taken their stations; and the horns were sounded and the vessels broken.

bbe@Judges:7:21 @Then they made a line round the tents, every man in his place; and all the army, awaking from sleep, came running out, and with loud cries went in flight.

bbe@Judges:7:22 @And the three hundred gave a loud note on their horns, and every man's sword was turned by the Lord against his brother all through the army; and the army went in flight as far as Beth-shittah in the direction of Zeredah, to the edge of Abel-meholah by Tabbath.

bbe@Judges:8:2 @And he said to them, What have I done in comparison with you? Is not that which Ephraim took up after the grape-cutting better than all the grapes which Abiezer got in from the grape-cutting?

bbe@Judges:8:3 @God has given into your hands the chiefs of Midian, Oreb and Zeeb; what have I been able to do in comparison with you? And when he said this, their feeling about him became kinder.

bbe@Judges:8:4 @Then Gideon came to Jordan and went over it with his three hundred, overcome with weariness and in need of food.

bbe@Judges:8:5 @And he said to the men of Succoth, Give bread cakes to my people, for they are overcome with weariness, and I am going on after Zebah and Zalmunna, the kings of Midian.

bbe@Judges:8:10 @Now Zebah and Zalmunna were in Karkor and their armies with them, about fifteen thousand men, those of all the army of the children of the east who were still living; for a hundred and twenty thousand of their swordsmen had been put to death.

bbe@Judges:8:15 @So he came to the men of Succoth and said, Here are Zebah and Zalmunna, on account of whom you made sport of me, saying, Are the hands of Zebah and Zalmunna even now in your hand, that we are to give bread to your army who are overcome with weariness?

bbe@Judges:8:23 @But Gideon said to them, I will not be a ruler over you, and my son will not be a ruler over you: it is the Lord who will be ruler over you.

bbe@Judges:8:24 @Then Gideon said to them, I have a request to make to you; let every man give me the ear-rings he has taken. (For they had gold ear-rings, because they were Ishmaelites.)

bbe@Judges:8:25 @And they gave answer, We will gladly give them. So they put down a robe, every man dropping into it the ear-rings he had taken.

bbe@Judges:8:26 @The weight of the gold ear-rings which he got from them was one thousand, seven hundred shekels of gold; in addition to the moon-ornaments and jewels and the purple robes which were on the kings of Midian, and the chains on their camels' necks.

bbe@Judges:8:27 @And Gideon made an ephod from them and put it up in his town Ophrah; and all Israel went after it there and were false to the Lord; and it became a cause of sin to Gideon and his house.

bbe@Judges:8:28 @So Midian was broken before the children of Israel and the Midianites never got back their strength. And the land had peace for forty years, in the days of Gideon.

bbe@Judges:8:32 @And Gideon, the son of Joash, came to his end when he was very old, and his body was put in the resting-place of Joash his father, in Ophrah of the Abiezrites.

bbe@Judges:8:33 @And after the death of Gideon, the children of Israel again went after the gods of Canaan and were false to the Lord, and made Baal-berith their god.

bbe@Judges:9:2 @Say now in the ears of all the townsmen of Shechem, Is it better for you to be ruled by all the seventy sons of Jerubbaal or by one man only? And keep in mind that I am your bone and your flesh.

bbe@Judges:9:4 @And they gave him seventy shekels of silver from the house of Baal-berith, with which Abimelech got the support of a number of uncontrolled and good-for-nothing persons.

bbe@Judges:9:7 @Now Jotham, on hearing of it, went to the top of Mount Gerizim, and crying out with a loud voice said to them, Give ear to me, you townsmen of Shechem, so that God may give ear to you.

bbe@Judges:9:11 @But the fig-tree said to them, Am I to give up my sweet taste and my good fruit and go waving over the trees?

bbe@Judges:9:15 @And the thorn said to the trees, If it is truly your desire to make me your king, then come and put your faith in my shade; and if not, may fire come out of the thorn, burning up the cedars of Lebanon.

bbe@Judges:9:23 @And God sent an evil spirit between Abimelech and the townsmen of Shechem; and the townsmen of Shechem were false to Abimelech;

bbe@Judges:9:26 @Then Gaal, the son of Ebed, came with his brothers, and went over to Shechem; and the men of Shechem put their faith in him.

bbe@Judges:9:27 @And they went out into their fields and got in the fruit of their vines, and when the grapes had been crushed, they made a holy feast and went into the house of their god, and over their food and drink they were cursing Abimelech.

bbe@Judges:9:28 @And Gaal, the son of Ebed, said, Who is Abimelech and who is Shechem, that we are to be his servants? Is it not right for the son of Jerubbaal and Zebul his captain to be servants to the men of Hamor, the father of Shechem? But why are we to be his servants?

bbe@Judges:9:29 @If only I had authority over this people! I would put Abimelech out of the way, and I would say to Abimelech, Make your army strong, and come out.

bbe@Judges:9:34 @So Abimelech and the people with him got up by night, in four bands, to make a surprise attack on Shechem.

bbe@Judges:9:35 @And Gaal, the son of Ebed, went out, and took his place at the doorway into the town; then Abimelech and his people got up from the place where they had been waiting.

bbe@Judges:9:42 @Now the day after, the people went out into the fields; and news of it came to Abimelech.

bbe@Judges:9:43 @And he took his people, separating them into three bands, and was waiting secretly in the field; and when he saw the people coming out of the town, he went up and made an attack on them.

bbe@Judges:9:44 @And Abimelech with his band made a rush, and took up their position at the doorway into the town; and the other two bands made a rush on all those who were in the fields, and overcame them.

bbe@Judges:9:45 @And all that day Abimelech was fighting against the town; and he took it, and put to death the people who were in it, and had the town pulled down and covered with salt.

bbe@Judges:9:46 @Then all the townsmen of the tower of Shechem, hearing of it, went into the inner room of the house of El-berith.

bbe@Judges:9:48 @Then Abimelech went up to Mount Zalmon, with all his people; and Abimelech took an axe in his hand and, cutting down branches of trees, took them and put them on his back. And he said to the people who were with him, Be quick and do as you have seen me do.

bbe@Judges:9:49 @So all the people got branches, every man cutting down a branch, and they went with Abimelech at their head and, massing the branches against the inner room, put fire to the room over them; so all those who were in the tower of Shechem, about a thousand men and women, were burned to death with it.

bbe@Judges:9:50 @Then Abimelech went to Thebez, and put his army in position against Thebez and took it.

bbe@Judges:9:52 @And Abimelech came to the tower and made an attack on it, and got near to the door of the tower for the purpose of firing it.

bbe@Judges:10:3 @And after him came Jair the Gileadite, who was judge over Israel for twenty-two years.

bbe@Judges:10:8 @And that year the children of Israel were crushed under their yoke; for eighteen years all the children of Israel on the other side of Jordan, in the land of the Amorites which is in Gilead, were cruelly crushed down.

bbe@Judges:10:11 @And the Lord said to the children of Israel, Were not the Egyptians and the Amorites and the children of Ammon and the Philistines

bbe@Judges:10:17 @Then the children of Ammon came together and put their army in position in Gilead. And the children of Israel came together and put their army in position in Mizpah.

bbe@Judges:11:1 @Now Jephthah the Gileadite was a great man of war; he was the son of a loose woman, and Gilead was his father.

bbe@Judges:11:2 @And Gilead's wife gave birth to sons, and when her sons became men, they sent Jephthah away, saying, You have no part in the heritage of our father's house, for you are the son of another woman.

bbe@Judges:11:3 @So Jephthah went in flight from his brothers and was living in the land of Tob, where a number of good-for-nothing men, joining Jephthah, went out with him on his undertakings.

bbe@Judges:11:8 @And the responsible men of Gilead said to Jephthah, That is the reason we have come back to you; so go with us and make war against the children of Ammon, and we will make you our head over all the people of Gilead.

bbe@Judges:11:9 @Then Jephthah said to the responsible men of Gilead, If you take me back to make war against the children of Ammon, and if with the help of the Lord I overcome them, will you make me your head?

bbe@Judges:11:10 @And the responsible men of Gilead said to Jephthah, May the Lord be our witness: we will certainly do as you say.

bbe@Judges:11:11 @So Jephthah went with the responsible men of Gilead, and the people made him head and chief over them; and Jephthah said all these things before the Lord in Mizpah

bbe@Judges:11:18 @Then he went on through the waste land and round the land of Edom and the land of Moab, and came by the east side of the land of Moab, and put up their tents on the other side of the Arnon; they did not come inside the limit of Moab, for the Arnon was the limit of Moab.

bbe@Judges:11:19 @And Israel sent men to Sihon, king of the Amorites, the king of Heshbon; and Israel said to him, Let me now go through your land to my place.

bbe@Judges:11:20 @But Sihon would not give way and let Israel go through his land; and Sihon got together all his people, and put his army in position in Jahaz, and made war on Israel.

bbe@Judges:11:21 @And the Lord, the God of Israel, gave Sihon and all his people into the hands of Israel, and they overcame them; so all the land of the Amorites, the people of that land, became Israel's.

bbe@Judges:11:22 @All the limit of the Amorites was theirs, from the Arnon as far as the Jabbok and from the waste land even to Jordan.

bbe@Judges:11:23 @So now the Lord, the God of Israel, has taken away their land from the Amorites and given it to his people Israel; are you then to have it?

bbe@Judges:11:26 @While Israel was living in Heshbon and its daughter-towns and in Aroer and its daughter-towns and in all the towns which are by the side of the Arnon, for three hundred years, why did you not get them back at that time?

bbe@Judges:11:29 @Then the spirit of the Lord came on Jephthah, and he went through Gilead and Manasseh, and came to Mizpeh of Gilead; and from Mizpeh of Gilead he went over to the children of Ammon.

bbe@Judges:11:33 @And he made an attack on them from Aroer all the way to Minnith, overrunning twenty towns, as far as Abel-cheramim, and put great numbers to the sword. So the children of Ammon were crushed before the children of Israel.

bbe@Judges:11:34 @Then Jephthah came back to his house in Mizpah, and his daughter came out, meeting him on his way with music and with dances; she was his only child; he had no other sons or daughters.

bbe@Judges:11:35 @And when he saw her he was overcome with grief, and said, Ah! my daughter! I am crushed with sorrow, and it is you who are the chief cause of my trouble; for I have made an oath to the Lord and I may not take it back.

bbe@Judges:11:37 @Then she said to her father, Only do this for me: let me have two months to go away into the mountains with my friends, weeping for my sad fate.

bbe@Judges:11:38 @And he said, Go then. So he sent her away for two months; and she went with her friends to the mountains, weeping for her sad fate.

bbe@Judges:11:39 @And at the end of two months she went back to her father, who did with her as he had said in his oath: and she had never been touched by a man. So it became a rule in Israel,

bbe@Judges:11:40 @For the women to go year by year sorrowing for the daughter of Jephthah the Gileadite, four days in every year.

bbe@Judges:12:1 @Now the men of Ephraim came together and took up arms and went over to Zaphon; and they said to Jephthah, Why did you go over to make war against the children of Ammon without sending for us to go with you? Now we will put your house on fire over you.

bbe@Judges:12:5 @And the Gileadites took the crossing-places of Jordan against the Ephraimites; and when any of the men of Ephraim who had gone in flight said, let me go over; the men of Gilead said to him, Are you an Ephraimite? And if he said, No;

bbe@Judges:12:6 @Then they said to him, Now say Shibboleth; and he said Sibboleth, and was not able to say it in the right way; then they took him and put him to death at the crossing-places of Jordan; and at that time forty-two thousand Ephraimites were put to death.

bbe@Judges:12:7 @Now Jephthah was judge of Israel for six years. And Jephthah the Gileadite came to his death, and his body was put to rest in his town, Mizpeh of Gilead.

bbe@Judges:12:11 @And after him, Elon the Zebulonite was judge of Israel; and he was judge of Israel for ten years.

bbe@Judges:12:12 @And Elon the Zebulonite came to his death, and his body was put to rest in Aijalon in the land of Zebulun.

bbe@Judges:12:13 @And after him, Abdon, the son of Hillel, the Pirathonite, was judge of Israel

bbe@Judges:12:15 @And Abdon, the son of Hillel, came to his death, and his body was put to rest in Pirathon in the land of Ephraim, in the hill-country of the Amalekites.

bbe@Judges:13:2 @Now there was a certain man of Zorah of the family of the Danites, and his name was Manoah; and his wife had never given birth to a child.

bbe@Judges:13:3 @And the angel of the Lord came to the woman, and said to her, See now! though you have never given birth to children, you will be with child and give birth to a son.

bbe@Judges:13:5 @For you are with child and will give birth to a son; his hair is never to be cut, for the child is to be separate to God from his birth; and he will take up the work of freeing Israel from the hands of the Philistines.

bbe@Judges:13:7 @But he said to me, You are with child and will give birth to a son; and now do not take any wine or strong drink or let anything unclean be your food; for the child will be separate to God from his birth to the day of his death.

bbe@Judges:13:9 @And God gave ear to the voice of Manoah; and the angel of God came to the woman again when she was seated in the field; but her husband Manoah was not with her.

bbe@Judges:13:16 @And the angel of the Lord said to Manoah, Though you keep me I will not take of your food; but if you will make a burned offering, let it be offered to the Lord. For it had not come into Manoah's mind that he was the angel of the Lord.

bbe@Judges:13:18 @But the angel of the Lord said to him, Why are you questioning me about my name, seeing that it is a wonder?

bbe@Judges:13:19 @So Manoah took the young goat with its meal offering, offering it on the rock to the Lord, who did strange things.

bbe@Judges:13:21 @But the angel of the Lord was seen no more by Manoah and his wife. Then it was clear to Manoah that he was the angel of the Lord.

bbe@Judges:13:22 @And Manoah said to his wife, Death will certainly be our fate, for it is a god whom we have seen.

bbe@Judges:13:25 @And the spirit of the Lord first came on him in Mahaneh-dan, between Zorah and Eshtaol.

bbe@Judges:14:3 @Then his father and mother said to him, Is there no woman among the daughters of your relations or among all my people, that you have to go for your wife to the Philistines, who are without circumcision? But Samson said to his father, Get her for me, for she is pleasing to me.

bbe@Judges:14:6 @And the spirit of the Lord came on him with power, and, unarmed as he was, pulling the lion in two as one might do to a young goat, he put him to death; (but he said nothing to his father and mother of what he had done.)

bbe@Judges:14:7 @So he went down and had talk with the woman; and she was pleasing to Samson.

bbe@Judges:14:9 @And he took the honey in his hand, and went on, tasting it on the way; and when he came to his father and mother he gave some to them; but did not say that he had taken the honey from the body of the lion.

bbe@Judges:14:11 @And he took thirty friends, and they were with him.

bbe@Judges:14:13 @But if you are not able to give me the answer, then you will have to give me thirty linen robes and thirty changes of clothing. And they said to him, Put your hard question and let us see what it is.

bbe@Judges:14:15 @So on the fourth day they said to Samson's wife, Get from your husband the answer to his question by some trick or other, or we will have you and your father's house burned with fire; did you get us here to take all we have?

bbe@Judges:14:16 @Then Samson's wife, weeping over him, said, Truly you have no love for me but only hate; you have put a hard question to the children of my people and have not given me the answer. And he said to her, See, I have not given the answer even to my father or my mother; am I to give it to you?

bbe@Judges:14:17 @And all the seven days of the feast she went on weeping over him; and on the seventh day he gave her the answer, because she gave him no peace; and she sent word of it to the children of her people

bbe@Judges:14:18 @Then on the seventh day, before he went into the bride's room, the men of the town said to him, What is sweeter than honey? and what is stronger than a lion? And he said to them, If you had not been ploughing with my cow you would not have got the answer to my question.

bbe@Judges:14:19 @And the spirit of the Lord came rushing on him, and he went down to Ashkelon and, attacking thirty men there, took their clothing from them, and gave it to the men who had given the answer to his hard question. Then, full of wrath, he went back to his father's house.

bbe@Judges:15:1 @Now a short time after, at the time of the grain-cutting, Samson, taking with him a young goat, went to see his wife; and he said, I will go in to my wife into the bride's room. But her father would not let him go in.

bbe@Judges:15:2 @And her father said, It seemed to me that you had only hate for her; so I gave her to your friend: but is not her younger sister fairer than she? so please take her in place of the other.

bbe@Judges:15:4 @So Samson went and got three hundred foxes and some sticks of fire-wood; and he put the foxes tail to tail with a stick between every two tails;

bbe@Judges:15:6 @Then the Philistines said, Who has done this? And they said, Samson, the son-in-law of the Timnite, because he took his wife and gave her to his friend. So the Philistines came up and had her and her father's house burned.

bbe@Judges:15:7 @And Samson said to them, If you go on like this, truly I will take my full payment from you; and that will be the end of it.

bbe@Judges:15:11 @Then three thousand of the men of Judah went down to the crack of the rock of Etam, and said to Samson, Is it not clear to you that the Philistines are our rulers? What is this you have done to us? And he said to them, I only did to them as they did to me.

bbe@Judges:15:14 @And when he came to Lehi, the Philistines came out, meeting him with loud cries; then the spirit of the Lord came rushing on him, and the cords on his arms became like grass which has been burned with fire, and the bands came falling off his hands.

bbe@Judges:15:15 @And taking up the mouth-bone of an ass newly dead, which he saw by chance on the earth, he put to death a thousand men with it.

bbe@Judges:15:16 @And Samson said, With a red ass's mouth-bone I have made them red with blood, with a red ass's mouth-bone I have sent destruction on a thousand men.

bbe@Judges:15:18 @After this, he was in great need of water, and crying out to the Lord, he said, You have given this great salvation by the hand of your servant, and now need of water will be my death; and I will be given into the hands of this people who are without circumcision.

bbe@Judges:15:19 @Then God made a crack in the hollow rock in Lehi and water came out of it; and after drinking, his spirit came back to him and he was strong again; so that place was named En-hakkore; it is in Lehi to this day

bbe@Judges:16:2 @And it was said to the Gazites, Samson is here. So they went round, watching for him all day at the doorway of the town, but at night they kept quiet, saying, When daylight comes we will put him to death.

bbe@Judges:16:3 @And Samson was there till the middle of the night; then he got up, and took a grip on the doors of the town, pulling them up, together with their two supports and their locks, and put them on his back and took them up to the top of the hill in front of Hebron.

bbe@Judges:16:4 @Now after this, he was in love with a woman in the valley of Sorek, named Delilah.

bbe@Judges:16:9 @Now she had men waiting secretly in the inner room; and she said to him, The Philistines are on you, Samson. And the cords were broken by him as a twist of thread is broken when touched by a flame. So the secret of his strength did not come to light.

bbe@Judges:16:10 @Then Delilah said to Samson, See, you have been making sport of me with false words; now, say truly how may you be put in bands?

bbe@Judges:16:12 @So Delilah took new thick cords, knotting them tightly round him, and said to him, The Philistines are on you, Samson. And men were waiting secretly in the inner room. And the cords were broken off his arms like threads.

bbe@Judges:16:13 @Then Delilah said to Samson, Up to now you have made sport of me with false words; now say truly, how may you be put in bands? And he said to her, If you get the seven twists of my hair worked into the cloth you are making and fixed with the pin, I will become feeble and will be like any other man.

bbe@Judges:16:14 @So while he was sleeping she got the seven twists of his hair worked into her cloth and fixed with the pin, and said to him, The Philistines are on you, Samson. Then awaking from his sleep, he got up quickly, pulling up cloth and machine together.

bbe@Judges:16:18 @And when Delilah saw that he had let her see into his heart, she sent word to the chiefs of the Philistines saying, Come up this time, for he has let out all his heart to me. Then the chiefs of the Philistines came to her, with the money in their hands.

bbe@Judges:16:19 @And she made him go to sleep on her knees; and she sent for a man and had his seven twists of hair cut off; and while it was being done he became feeble and his strength went from him.

bbe@Judges:16:21 @So the Philistines took him and put out his eyes; then they took him down to Gaza, and, chaining him with bands of brass, put him to work crushing grain in the prison-house

bbe@Judges:16:22 @But the growth of his hair was starting again after it had been cut off.

bbe@Judges:16:29 @Then Samson put his arms round the two middle pillars supporting the house, putting his weight on them, on one with his right hand and on the other with his left.

bbe@Judges:16:30 @And Samson said, Let death overtake me with the Philistines. And he put out all his strength, and the house came down on the chiefs and on all the people who were in it. So the dead whom he sent to destruction by his death were more than all those on whom he had sent destruction in his life.

bbe@Judges:17:2 @And he said to his mother, The eleven hundred shekels of silver which were taken from you, about which you took an oath and said in my hearing, I have given this silver to the Lord from my hand for myself, to make a pictured image and a metal image: see, I have the silver, for I took it: so now I will give it back to you. And his mother said, May the blessing of the Lord be on my son.

bbe@Judges:17:4 @So he gave the silver back to his mother. Then his mother took two hundred shekels of silver and gave them to a metal-worker who made a pictured image and a metal image from them: and it was in the house of Micah.

bbe@Judges:17:5 @And the man Micah had a house of gods; and he made an ephod and family gods and put one of his sons in the position of priest.

bbe@Judges:17:7 @Now there was a young man living in Beth-lehem-judah, of the family of Judah and a Levite, who was not a townsman of the place.

bbe@Judges:17:9 @And Micah said to him, Where do you come from? And he said to him, I am a Levite from Beth-lehem-judah, and I am looking for a living-place.

bbe@Judges:17:10 @Then Micah said to him, Make your living-place with me, and be a father and a priest to me, and I will give you ten shekels of silver a year and your clothing and food.

bbe@Judges:17:11 @And the Levite said he would make his living-place with the man, and he became to him as one of his sons.

bbe@Judges:17:12 @And Micah gave the position to the Levite, and the young man became his priest, and was in the house of Micah.

bbe@Judges:17:13 @Then Micah said, Now I am certain that the Lord will do me good, seeing that the Levite has become my priest.

bbe@Judges:18:1 @In those days there was no king in Israel, and in those days the Danites were looking for a heritage for themselves, to be their living-place; for up to that time no distribution of land had been made to them among the tribes of Israel.

bbe@Judges:18:2 @So the children of Dan sent five men from among their number, strong men, from Zorah and from Eshtaol, to take a look at the land and make a search through it; and they said to them, Go and make a search through the land; and they came to the hill-country of Ephraim, to the house of Micah, where they made a stop for the night.

bbe@Judges:18:3 @When they were near the house of Micah, hearing a voice which was not strange to them, that of the young Levite, they went out of their road to his place, and said to him, How did you come here? and what are you doing in this place? and why are you here?

bbe@Judges:18:7 @Then the five men went on their way and came to Laish and saw the people who were there, living without thought of danger, like the Zidonians, quiet and safe; for they had everything on earth for their needs, and they were far from the Zidonians and had no business with Aram.

bbe@Judges:18:9 @And they said, Up! and let us go against Laish; for we have seen the land, and it is very good: why are you doing nothing? Do not be slow to go in and take the land for your heritage.

bbe@Judges:18:10 @When you come there you will come to a people living without thought of danger; and the land is wide, and God has given it into your hands: a place where there is everything on earth for man's needs

bbe@Judges:18:11 @So six hundred men of the Danites from Zorah and Eshtaol went out armed with instruments of war.

bbe@Judges:18:12 @And they went up and put up their tents in Kiriath-jearim in Judah: so that place is named Mahaneh-dan to this day. It is to the west of Kiriath-jearim.

bbe@Judges:18:15 @And turning from their road they came to the house of the young Levite, the house of Micah, and said to him, Is it well with you?

bbe@Judges:18:16 @And the six hundred armed men of the Danites took their places by the doorway.

bbe@Judges:18:17 @Then the five men who had gone to make a search through the land, went in and took the pictured image and the ephod and the family gods and the metal image; and the priest was by the doorway with the six hundred armed men.

bbe@Judges:18:19 @And they said to him, Be quiet; say nothing, and come with us and be our father and priest; is it better for you to be priest to one man's house or to be priest to a tribe and a family in Israel?

bbe@Judges:18:20 @Then the priest's heart was glad, and he took the ephod and the family gods and the pictured image and went with the people.

bbe@Judges:18:21 @So they went on their way again, putting the little ones and the oxen and the goods in front of them.

bbe@Judges:18:23 @Crying out to them. And the Danites, turning round, said to Micah, What is your trouble, that you have taken up arms?

bbe@Judges:18:25 @And the children of Dan said to him, Say no more, or men of bitter spirit may make an attack on you, causing loss of your life and the lives of your people.

bbe@Judges:18:27 @And they took that which Micah had made, and his priest, and came to Laish, to a people living quietly and without thought of danger, and they put them to the sword without mercy, burning down their town.

bbe@Judges:18:28 @And they had no saviour, because it was far from Zidon, and they had no business with Aram; and it was in the valley which is the property of Beth-rehob. And building up the town again they took it for their living-place.

bbe@Judges:18:30 @(And the children of Dan put up the pictured image for themselves; and Jonathan, the son of Gershom, the son of Moses, and his sons were priests for the tribe of the Danites till the day when the ark was taken prisoner.)

bbe@Judges:18:31 @And they put up for themselves the image which Micah had made, and it was there all the time that the house of God was in Shiloh.

bbe@Judges:19:1 @Now in those days, when there was no king in Israel, a certain Levite was living in the inmost parts of the hill-country of Ephraim, and he got for himself a servant-wife from Beth-lehem-judah.

bbe@Judges:19:2 @And his servant-wife was angry with him, and went away from him to her father's house at Beth-lehem-judah, and was there for four months.

bbe@Judges:19:3 @Then her husband got up and went after her, with the purpose of talking kindly to her, and taking her back with him; he had with him his young man and two asses: and she took him into her father's house, and her father, when he saw him, came forward to him with joy.

bbe@Judges:19:5 @Now on the fourth day they got up early in the morning and he made ready to go away; but the girl's father said to his son-in-law, Take a little food to keep up your strength, and then go on your way.

bbe@Judges:19:6 @So seating themselves they had food and drink, the two of them together; and the girl's father said to the man, If it is your pleasure, take your rest here tonight, and let your heart be glad.

bbe@Judges:19:10 @But the man would not be kept there that night, and he got up and went away and came opposite to Jebus (which is Jerusalem); and he had with him the two asses, ready for travelling, and his woman

bbe@Judges:19:11 @When they got near Jebus the day was far gone; and the servant said to his master, Now let us go from our road into this town of the Jebusites and take our night's rest there.

bbe@Judges:19:15 @And they went off the road there with the purpose of stopping for the night in Gibeah: and he went in, seating himself in the street of the town, for no one took them into his house for the night.

bbe@Judges:19:16 @Now when it was evening they saw an old man coming back from his work in the fields; he was from the hill-country of Ephraim and was living in Gibeah: but the men of the place were Benjamites.

bbe@Judges:19:19 @But we have dry grass and food for our asses, as well as bread and wine for me, and for the woman, and for the young man with us: we have no need of anything.

bbe@Judges:19:20 @And the old man said, Peace be with you; let all your needs be my care; only do not take your rest in the street.

bbe@Judges:19:22 @While they were taking their pleasure at the meal, the good-for-nothing men of the town came round the house, giving blows on the door; and they said to the old man, the master of the house, Send out that man who came to your house, so that we may take our pleasure with him.

bbe@Judges:19:24 @See, here is my daughter, a virgin, and his servant-wife: I will send them out for you to take them and do with them whatever you will. But do no such thing of shame to this man.

bbe@Judges:19:26 @Then at the dawn of day the woman came, and, falling down at the door of the man's house where her master was, was stretched there till it was light.

bbe@Judges:19:27 @In the morning her master got up, and opening the door of the house went out to go on his way; and he saw his servant-wife stretched on the earth at the door of the house with her hands on the step.

bbe@Judges:19:30 @And he gave orders to the men whom he sent, saying, This is what you are to say to all the men of Israel, Has ever an act like this been done from the day when the children of Israel came out of Egypt to this day? Give thought to it, turning it over in your minds, and give your opinion of it.

bbe@Judges:20:2 @And the chiefs of the people, out of all the tribes of Israel, took their places in the meeting of the people of God, four hundred thousand footmen armed with swords.

bbe@Judges:20:4 @Then the Levite, the husband of the dead woman, said in answer, I came to Gibeah in the land of Benjamin, I and my servant-wife, for the purpose of stopping there for the night.

bbe@Judges:20:5 @And the townsmen of Gibeah came together against me, going round the house on all sides by night; it was their purpose to put me to death, and my servant-wife was violently used by them and is dead.

bbe@Judges:20:6 @So I took her, cutting her into parts which I sent through all the country of the heritage of Israel: for they have done an act of shame in Israel.

bbe@Judges:20:9 @But this is what we will do to Gibeah: we will go up against it by the decision of the Lord;

bbe@Judges:20:11 @So all the men of Israel were banded together against the town, united like one man.

bbe@Judges:20:14 @And the children of Benjamin came together from all their towns to Gibeah, to go to war with the children of Israel.

bbe@Judges:20:15 @And the children of Benjamin who came that day from the towns were twenty-six thousand men armed with swords, in addition to the people of Gibeah, numbering seven hundred of the best fighting-men,

bbe@Judges:20:16 @Who were left-handed, able to send a stone at a hair without error.

bbe@Judges:20:17 @And the men of Israel, other than Benjamin, were four hundred thousand in number, all armed with swords; they were all men of war.

bbe@Judges:20:19 @So the children of Israel got up in the morning and put themselves in position against Gibeah.

bbe@Judges:20:21 @Then the children of Benjamin came out from Gibeah, cutting down twenty-two thousand of the Israelites that day.

bbe@Judges:20:22 @But the people, the men of Israel, taking heart again, put their forces in order and took up the same position as on the first day.

bbe@Judges:20:26 @Then all the children of Israel, and all the people, went up to Beth-el, weeping and waiting there before the Lord, going without food all day till evening, and offering burned offerings and peace-offerings before the Lord.

bbe@Judges:20:28 @And Phinehas, the son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron, was in his place before it,) and said, Am I still to go on with the fight against the children of Benjamin my brother, or am I to give it up? And the Lord said, Go on; for tomorrow I will give him into your hands.

bbe@Judges:20:29 @So Israel put men secretly all round Gibeah to make a surprise attack on it.

bbe@Judges:20:33 @So all the men of Israel got up and put themselves in fighting order at Baal-tamar: and those who had been waiting secretly to make a surprise attack came rushing out of their place on the west of Geba.

bbe@Judges:20:36 @So the children of Benjamin saw that they were overcome: and the men of Israel had given way before Benjamin, putting their faith in the watchers who were to make the surprise attack on Gibeah.

bbe@Judges:20:37 @And the watchers, rushing on Gibeah and overrunning it, put all the town to the sword without mercy.

bbe@Judges:20:40 @Then the sign went up out of the town in the pillar of smoke, and the Benjamites, turning back, saw all the town going up in smoke to heaven.

bbe@Judges:20:41 @And the men of Israel had made a turn about, and the men of Benjamin were overcome with fear, for they saw that evil had overtaken them.

bbe@Judges:20:48 @And the men of Israel, turning again against the children of Benjamin, put to the sword without mercy all the towns and the cattle and everything there was, burning every town which came into their hands.

bbe@Judges:21:2 @And the people came to Beth-el, waiting there till evening before God, and gave themselves up to bitter weeping.

bbe@Judges:21:6 @And the children of Israel were moved with pity for Benjamin their brother, saying, Today one tribe has been cut off from Israel.

bbe@Judges:21:8 @And they said, Which one of the tribes of Israel did not come up to Mizpah to the Lord? And it was seen that no one had come from Jabesh-gilead to the meeting.

bbe@Judges:21:10 @So they (the meeting) sent twelve thousand of the best fighting-men, and gave them orders, saying, Go and put the people of Jabesh-gilead to the sword without mercy, with their women and their little ones.

bbe@Judges:21:11 @And this is what you are to do: every male, and every woman who has had sex relations with a man, you are to put to the curse, but you are to keep safe the virgins. And they did so.

bbe@Judges:21:12 @Now there were among the people of Jabesh-gilead four hundred young virgins who had never had sex relations with a man; these they took to their tents in Shiloh in the land of Canaan.

bbe@Judges:21:15 @And the people were moved with pity for Benjamin, because the Lord had let his wrath loose on the tribes of Israel.

bbe@Judges:21:20 @And they said to the men of Benjamin, Go into the vine-gardens, waiting there secretly,

bbe@Judges:21:23 @So the men of Benjamin did this, and got wives for themselves for every one of their number, taking them away by force from the dance; then they went back to their heritage, building up their towns and living in them.

bbe@Judges:21:24 @Then the children of Israel went away from there, every man to his tribe and his family, every man went back to his heritage.

bbe@Ruth:1:2 @And the name of the man was Elimelech, and the name of his wife Naomi, and the name of his two sons Mahlon and Chilion, Ephrathites of Beth-lehem-judah. And they came into the country of Moab, and were there for some time.

bbe@Ruth:1:3 @And Elimelech, Naomi's husband, came to his end; and only her two sons were with her.

bbe@Ruth:1:5 @And Mahlon and Chilion came to their end; and the woman was without her two sons and her husband.

bbe@Ruth:1:7 @And she went out of the place where she was, and her two daughters-in-law with her; and they went on their way to go back to the land of Judah.

bbe@Ruth:1:9 @May the Lord give you rest in the houses of your husbands. Then she gave them a kiss; and they were weeping bitterly.

bbe@Ruth:1:10 @And they said to her, No, but we will go back with you to your people.

bbe@Ruth:1:11 @But Naomi said, Go back, my daughters; why will you come with me? Have I more sons in my body, to become your husbands?

bbe@Ruth:1:16 @But Ruth said, Give up requesting me to go away from you, or to go back without you: for where you go I will go; and where you take your rest I will take my rest; your people will be my people, and your God my God.

bbe@Ruth:1:18 @And when she saw that Ruth was strong in her purpose to go with her she said no more.

bbe@Ruth:1:20 @And she said to them, Do not let my name be Naomi, but Mara, for the Ruler of all has given me a bitter fate.

bbe@Ruth:1:21 @I went out full, and the Lord has sent me back again with nothing; why do you give me the name Naomi, seeing that the Lord has given witness against me, and the Ruler of all has sent sorrow on me?

bbe@Ruth:1:22 @So Naomi came back out of the country of Moab, and Ruth the Moabitess, her daughter-in-law, with her; and they came to Beth-lehem in the first days of the grain-cutting.

bbe@Ruth:2:2 @And Ruth the Moabitess said to Naomi, Now let me go into the field and take up the heads of grain after him in whose eyes I may have grace. And she said to her, Go, my daughter.

bbe@Ruth:2:4 @And Boaz came from Beth-lehem, and said to the grain-cutters, The Lord be with you. And they made answer, The Lord give you his blessing.

bbe@Ruth:2:5 @Then Boaz said to his servant who was in authority over the cutters, Whose girl is this?

bbe@Ruth:2:6 @And the servant who was in authority over the cutters said, It is a Moabite girl who came back with Naomi out of the country of Moab;

bbe@Ruth:2:7 @And she said to me, Let me come into the grain-field and take up the grain after the cutters. So she came, and has been here from morning till now, without resting even for a minute.

bbe@Ruth:2:14 @And at meal-time Boaz said to her, Come here, and take some of the bread, and put your bit into the wine. And she took her seat among the grain-cutters: and he gave her dry grain, and she took it, and there was more than enough for her meal.

bbe@Ruth:2:15 @And when she got ready to take up the grain, Boaz gave his young men orders, saying, Let her take it even from among the cut grain, and say nothing to her.

bbe@Ruth:2:17 @So she went on getting together the heads of grain till evening; and after crushing out the seed it came to about an ephah of grain.

bbe@Ruth:2:18 @And she took it up and went into the town; and she let her mother-in-law see what she had got, and after taking enough for herself she gave her the rest.

bbe@Ruth:2:19 @And her mother-in-law said to her, Where did you take up the grain today, and where were you working? May a blessing be on him who gave such attention to you. And she gave her mother-in-law an account of where she had been working, and said, The name of the man with whom I was working today is Boaz.

bbe@Ruth:2:21 @And Ruth the Moabitess said, Truly, he said to me, Keep near my young men till all my grain is cut.

bbe@Ruth:2:22 @And Naomi said to Ruth, her daughter-in-law, It is better, my daughter, for you to go out with his servant-girls, so that no danger may come to you in another field.

bbe@Ruth:2:23 @So she kept near the servant-girls of Boaz to take up the grain till the cutting of the early grain and the cutting of the late grain were ended; and she went on living with her mother-in-law.

bbe@Ruth:3:2 @And now, is there not Boaz, our relation, with whose young women you were? See, tonight he is separating the grain from the waste in his grain-floor.

bbe@Ruth:3:3 @So take a bath, and, after rubbing your body with sweet oil, put on your best robe, and go down to the grain-floor; but do not let him see you till he has come to the end of his meal.

bbe@Ruth:3:4 @But see to it, when he goes to rest, that you take note of the place where he is sleeping, and go in there, and, uncovering his feet, take your place by him; and he will say what you are to do.

bbe@Ruth:3:10 @And he said, May the Lord give you his blessing, my daughter: even better than what you did at the first is this last kind act you have done, in not going after young men, with or without wealth

bbe@Ruth:3:11 @And now, my daughter, have no fear; I will do for you whatever you say: for it is clear to all my townspeople that you are a woman of virtue.

bbe@Ruth:3:12 @Now it is true that I am a near relation: but there is a relation nearer than I.

bbe@Ruth:3:13 @Take your rest here tonight; and in the morning, if he will do for you what it is right for a relation to do, very well, let him do so: but if he will not, then by the living Lord I myself will do so.

bbe@Ruth:3:14 @And she took her rest at his feet till the morning: and she got up before it was light enough for one to see another. And he said, Let it not come to anyone's knowledge that the woman came to the grain-floor.

bbe@Ruth:3:15 @And he said, Take your robe, stretching it out in your hands: and she did so, and he took six measures of grain and put them into it, and gave it her to take: and she went back to the town.

bbe@Ruth:3:16 @And when she came back her mother-in-law said to her, How did it go with you, my daughter? And she gave her an account of all the man had done to her.

bbe@Ruth:3:17 @And she said, He gave me these six measures of grain, saying, Do not go back to your mother-in-law with nothing in your hands.

bbe@Ruth:4:3 @Then he said to the near relation, Naomi, who has come back from the country of Moab, is offering for a price that bit of land which was our brother Elimelech's:

bbe@Ruth:4:4 @And it was in my mind to give you the chance of taking it, with the approval of those seated here and of the responsible men of my people. If you are ready to do what it is right for a relation to do, then do it: but if you will not do it, say so to me now; for there is no one who has the right to do it but you, and after you myself. And he said, I will do it.

bbe@Ruth:4:5 @Then Boaz said, On the day when you take this field, you will have to take with it Ruth, the Moabitess, the wife of the dead, so that you may keep the name of the dead living in his heritage.

bbe@Ruth:4:6 @And the near relation said, I am not able to do the relation's part, for fear of damaging the heritage I have: you may do it in my place, for I am not able to do it myself.

bbe@Ruth:4:7 @Now, in earlier times this was the way in Israel when property was taken over by a near relation, or when there was a change of owner. To make the exchange certain one man took off his shoe and gave it to the other; and this was a witness in Israel.

bbe@Ruth:4:8 @So the near relation said to Boaz, Take it for yourself. And he took off his shoe.

bbe@Ruth:4:9 @Then Boaz said to the responsible men and to all the people, You are witnesses today that I have taken at a price from Naomi all the property which was Elimelech's, and everything which was Chilion's and Mahlon's.

bbe@Ruth:4:10 @And, further, I have taken Ruth, the Moabitess, who was the wife of Mahlon, to be my wife, to keep the name of the dead man living in his heritage, so that his name may not be cut off from among his countrymen, and from the memory of his town: you are witnesses this day

bbe@Ruth:4:11 @And all the people who were in the public place, and the responsible men, said, We are witnesses. May the Lord make this woman, who is about to come into your house, like Rachel and Leah, which two were the builders of the house of Israel: and may you have wealth in Ephrathah, and be great in Beth-lehem;

bbe@Ruth:4:13 @So Boaz took Ruth and she became his wife; and he went in to her, and the Lord made her with child and she gave birth to a son.

bbe@Ruth:4:14 @And the women said to Naomi, A blessing on the Lord, who has not let you be this day without a near relation, and may his name be great in Israel.

bbe@Ruth:4:16 @And Naomi took the child and put her arms round it, and she took care of it.

bbe@Ruth:4:17 @And the women who were her neighbours gave it a name, saying, Naomi has a child; and they gave him the name of Obed: he is the father of Jesse, the father of David.

bbe@1Samuel:1:1 @Now there was a certain man of Ramathaim, a Zuphite of the hill-country of Ephraim, named Elkanah; he was the son of Jeroham, the son of Elihu, the son of Tohu, the son of Zuph, an Ephraimite:

bbe@1Samuel:1:10 @And with grief in her soul, weeping bitterly, she made her prayer to the Lord.

bbe@1Samuel:1:13 @For Hannah's prayer came from her heart, and though her lips were moving she made no sound: so it seemed to Eli that she was overcome with wine.

bbe@1Samuel:1:15 @And Hannah, answering him, said, No, my lord, I am a woman whose spirit is broken with sorrow: I have not taken wine or strong drink, but I have been opening my heart before the Lord.

bbe@1Samuel:1:19 @And early in the morning they got up, and after worshipping before the Lord they went back to Ramah, to their house: and Elkanah had connection with his wife; and the Lord kept her in mind.

bbe@1Samuel:1:20 @Now the time came when Hannah, being with child, gave birth to a son; and she gave him the name Samuel, Because, she said, I made a prayer to the Lord for him.

bbe@1Samuel:1:21 @And the man Elkanah with all his family went up to make the year's offering to the Lord, and to give effect to his oath.

bbe@1Samuel:1:22 @But Hannah did not go, for she said to her husband, I will not go till the child has been taken from the breast, and then I will take him with me and put him before the Lord, where he may be for ever.

bbe@1Samuel:1:23 @And her husband Elkanah said to her, Do whatever seems right to you, but not till you have taken him from the breast; only may the Lord do as he has said. So the woman, waiting there, gave her son milk till he was old enough to be taken from the breast.

bbe@1Samuel:1:24 @Then when she had done so, she took him with her, with a three-year old ox and an ephah of meal and a skin full of wine, and took him to the house of the Lord at Shiloh: now the child was still very young.

bbe@1Samuel:2:4 @The bows of the men of war are broken, and the feeble are clothed with strength.

bbe@1Samuel:2:5 @Those who were full are offering themselves as servants for bread; those who were in need are at rest; truly, she who had no children has become the mother of seven; and she who had a family is wasted with sorrow.

bbe@1Samuel:2:8 @Lifting the poor out of the dust, and him who is in need out of the lowest place, to give them their place among rulers, and for their heritage the seat of glory: for the pillars of the earth are the Lord's and he has made them the base of the world.

bbe@1Samuel:2:13 @And the priests' way with the people was this: when any man made an offering, the priest's servant came while the flesh was being cooked, having in his hand a meat-hook with three teeth;

bbe@1Samuel:2:14 @This he put into the pot, and everything which came up on the hook the priest took for himself. This they did in Shiloh to all the Israelites who came there.

bbe@1Samuel:2:15 @And more than this, before the fat was burned, the priest's servant would come and say to the man who was making the offering, Give me some of the flesh to be cooked for the priest; he has no taste for meat cooked in water, but would have you give it uncooked.

bbe@1Samuel:2:16 @And if the man said to him, First let the fat be burned, then take as much as you will; then the servant would say, No, you are to give it to me now, or I will take it by force.

bbe@1Samuel:2:19 @And his mother made him a little robe and took it to him every year when she came with her husband for the year's offering.

bbe@1Samuel:2:25 @If one man does wrong to another, God will be his judge: but if a man's sin is against the Lord, who will take up his cause? But they gave no attention to the voice of their father, for it was the Lord's purpose to send destruction on them.

bbe@1Samuel:2:29 @Why then are you looking with envy on my offerings of meat and of meal which were ordered by my word, honouring your sons before me, and making yourselves fat with all the best of the offerings of Israel, my people?

bbe@1Samuel:2:30 @For this reason the Lord God of Israel has said, Truly I did say that your family and your father's people would have their place before me for ever: but now the Lord says, Let it not be so; I will give honour to those by whom I am honoured, and those who have no respect for me will be of small value in my eyes.

bbe@1Samuel:2:36 @Then it will be that the rest of your family, anyone who has not been cut off, will go down on his knees to him for a bit of silver or a bit of bread, and say, Be pleased to put me into one of the priest's places so that I may have a little food.

bbe@1Samuel:3:8 @And for the third time the Lord said Samuel's name. And he got up and went to Eli and said, Here am I; for you certainly said my name. Then it was clear to Eli that the voice which had said the child's name was the Lord's.

bbe@1Samuel:3:11 @And the Lord said to Samuel, See, I will do a thing in Israel at which the ears of everyone hearing of it will be burning.

bbe@1Samuel:3:17 @And he said, What did the Lord say to you? Do not keep it from me: may God's punishment be on you if you keep from me anything he said to you.

bbe@1Samuel:3:18 @Then Samuel gave him an account of everything, keeping nothing back. And he said, It is the Lord; let him do what seems good to him.

bbe@1Samuel:3:19 @And Samuel became older, and the Lord was with him and let not one of his words be without effect.

bbe@1Samuel:3:20 @And it was clear to all Israel from Dan to Beer-sheba that Samuel had been made a prophet of the Lord.

bbe@1Samuel:4:1 @Now at that time the Philistines came together to make war against Israel, and the men of Israel went out to war against the Philistines and took up their position at the side of Eben-ezer: and the Philistines put their forces in position in Aphek.

bbe@1Samuel:4:3 @And when the people came back to their tents, the responsible men of Israel said, Why has the Lord let the Philistines overcome us today? Let us get the ark of the Lord's agreement here from Shiloh, so that it may be with us and give us salvation from the hands of those who are against us.

bbe@1Samuel:4:4 @So the people sent to Shiloh and got the ark of the agreement of the Lord of armies whose resting-place is between the winged ones; and Hophni and Phinehas, the two sons of Eli, were there with the ark of God's agreement.

bbe@1Samuel:4:5 @And when the ark of the Lord's agreement came into the tent-circle, all Israel gave a great cry, so that the earth was sounding with it.

bbe@1Samuel:4:6 @And the Philistines, hearing the noise of their cry, said, What is this great cry among the tents of the Hebrews? Then it became clear to them that the ark of the Lord had come to the tent-circle.

bbe@1Samuel:4:9 @Be strong, O Philistines, be men! Do not be servants to the Hebrews as they have been to you: go forward to the fight without fear.

bbe@1Samuel:4:12 @And a man of Benjamin went running from the fight and came to Shiloh the same day with his clothing out of order and earth on his head.

bbe@1Samuel:4:16 @And the man said to Eli, I have come from the army and have come in flight today from the fight. And he said, How did it go, my son?

bbe@1Samuel:4:19 @And his daughter-in-law, the wife of Phinehas, was with child and near the time when she would give birth; and when she had the news that the ark of God had been taken and that her father-in-law and her husband were dead, her pains came on her suddenly and she gave birth.

bbe@1Samuel:4:20 @And when she was very near death the women who were with her said, Have no fear, for you have given birth to a son. But she made no answer and gave no attention to it.

bbe@1Samuel:5:1 @Now the Philistines, having taken the ark of God, took it with them from Eben-ezer to Ashdod.

bbe@1Samuel:5:2 @They took the ark of God into the house of Dagon and put it by the side of Dagon.

bbe@1Samuel:5:4 @And when they got up early on the morning after, Dagon had come down to the earth on his face before the ark of the Lord; and his head and his hands were broken off on the doorstep; only the base was in its place.

bbe@1Samuel:5:7 @And when the men of Ashdod saw how it was, they said, Let not the ark of the God of Israel be with us, for his hand is hard on us and on Dagon our god.

bbe@1Samuel:5:8 @So they sent for all the lords of the Philistines to come together there, and said, What are we to do with the ark of the God of Israel? And their answer was, Let the ark of the God of Israel be taken away to Gath. So they took the ark of the God of Israel away.

bbe@1Samuel:5:9 @But after they had taken it away, the hand of the Lord was stretched out against the town for its destruction: and the signs of disease came out on all the men of the town, small and great.

bbe@1Samuel:5:11 @So they sent and got together all the lords of the Philistines, and they said, Send away the ark of the God of Israel, and let it go back to its place, so that it may not be the cause of death to us and to our people: for there was a great fear of death through all the town; the hand of God was very hard on them there.

bbe@1Samuel:6:2 @And the Philistines sent for the priests and those who were wise in secret arts, and said to them, What are we to do with the ark of the Lord? How are we to send it away to its place?

bbe@1Samuel:6:3 @And they said, If you send away the ark of the God of Israel, do not send it without an offering, but send him a sin-offering with it: then you will have peace again, and it will be clear to you why the weight of his hand has not been lifted from you.

bbe@1Samuel:6:5 @So make images of the growths caused by your disease and of the mice which are damaging your land; and give glory to the God of Israel: it may be that the weight of his hand will be lifted from you and from your gods and from your land.

bbe@1Samuel:6:8 @And put the ark of the Lord on the cart, and the gold images which you are sending as a sin-offering in a chest by its side; and send it away so that it may go.

bbe@1Samuel:6:9 @If it goes by the land of Israel to Beth-shemesh, then this great evil is his work; but if not, then we may be certain that the evil was not his doing, but was the working of chance.

bbe@1Samuel:6:11 @And they put the ark of the Lord on the cart and the chest with the gold images.

bbe@1Samuel:6:13 @And the people of Beth-shemesh were cutting their grain in the valley, and lifting up their eyes they saw the ark and were full of joy when they saw it.

bbe@1Samuel:6:14 @And the cart came into the field of Joshua the Beth-shemite, and came to a stop there by a great stone: and cutting up the wood of the cart they made a burned offering of the cows to the Lord

bbe@1Samuel:6:15 @Then the Levites took down the ark of the Lord and the chest in which were the gold images, and put them on the great stone: and the men of Beth-shemesh made burned offerings and gave worship that day before the Lord.

bbe@1Samuel:6:16 @And the five lords of the Philistines, having seen it, went back to Ekron the same day.

bbe@1Samuel:6:18 @And the gold mice, one for every town of the Philistines, the property of the five lords, walled towns as well as country places: and the great stone where they put the ark of the Lord is still in the field of Joshua the Beth-shemite to this day.

bbe@1Samuel:6:21 @And they sent men to the people living in Kiriath-jearim, saying, The Philistines have sent back the ark of the Lord; come and take it up to your country.

bbe@1Samuel:7:2 @And the ark was in Kiriath-jearim for a long time, as much as twenty years: and all Israel was searching after the Lord with weeping.

bbe@1Samuel:7:3 @Then Samuel said to all Israel, If with all your hearts you would come back to the Lord, then put away all the strange gods and the Astartes from among you, and let your hearts be turned to the Lord, and be servants to him only: and he will make you safe from the hands of the Philistines.

bbe@1Samuel:7:6 @So they came together to Mizpah, and got water, draining it out before the Lord, and they took no food that day, and they said, We have done evil against the Lord. And Samuel was judge of the children of Israel in Mizpah.

bbe@1Samuel:7:7 @Now when the Philistines had news that the children of Israel had come together at Mizpah, the lords of the Philistines went up against Israel. And the children of Israel, hearing of it, were full of fear.

bbe@1Samuel:7:9 @And Samuel took a young lamb, offering all of it as a burned offering to the Lord; and Samuel made prayers to the Lord for Israel and the Lord gave him an answer.

bbe@1Samuel:7:10 @And while Samuel was offering the burned offering, the Philistines came near for the attack on Israel; but at the thunder of the Lord's voice that day the Philistines were overcome with fear, and they gave way before Israel.

bbe@1Samuel:7:12 @Then Samuel took a stone and put it up between Mizpah and Jeshanah, naming it Eben-ezer, and saying, Up to now the Lord has been our help.

bbe@1Samuel:7:14 @And the towns which the Philistines had taken were given back to Israel, from Ekron to Gath, and all the country round them Israel made free from the power of the Philistines. And there was peace between Israel and the Amorites.

bbe@1Samuel:8:15 @He will take a tenth of your seed and of the fruit of your vines and give it to his servants.

bbe@1Samuel:8:21 @Then Samuel, after hearing all the people had to say, went and gave an account of it to the Lord.

bbe@1Samuel:9:1 @Now there was a man of Benjamin named Kish, the son of Abiel, the son of Zeror, the son of Becorath, the son of Aphiah, a Benjamite, a man of wealth.

bbe@1Samuel:9:3 @Now the asses of Saul's father Kish had gone wandering away. And Kish said to his son Saul, Take one of the servants with you, and get up and go in search of the asses.

bbe@1Samuel:9:4 @So they went through the hill-country of Ephraim and through the land of Shalishah, but they saw no sign of them: then they went through the land of Shaalim, but they were not there: and they went through the land of the Benjamites, but they did not come across them.

bbe@1Samuel:9:5 @And when they had come to the land of Zuph, Saul said to the servant who was with him, Come, let us go back, or my father may give up caring about the asses and be troubled about us.

bbe@1Samuel:9:6 @But the servant said to him, See now, in this town there is a man of God, who is highly honoured, and everything he says comes true: let us go there now; it may be that he will give us directions about our journey.

bbe@1Samuel:9:13 @When you come into the town you will see him straight away, before he goes up to the high place for the feast: the people are waiting for his blessing before starting the feast, and after that the guests will take part in it. So go up now and you will see him.

bbe@1Samuel:9:14 @So they went up to the town, and when they came inside the town, Samuel came face to face with them on his way to the high place.

bbe@1Samuel:9:17 @And when Samuel saw Saul, the Lord said to him, This is the man of whom I gave you word! he it is who is to have authority over my people.

bbe@1Samuel:9:19 @Then Samuel said to Saul, I am the seer; go up before me to the high place and take food with me today: and in the morning I will let you go, after opening to you all the secrets of your heart.

bbe@1Samuel:9:24 @And the cook took up the leg with the fat tail on it, and put it before Saul. And Samuel said, This is the part which has been kept for you: take it as your part of the feast; because it has been kept for you till the right time came and till the guests were present. So that day Saul took food with Samuel.

bbe@1Samuel:10:1 @Then Samuel took the bottle of oil, and put the oil on his head and gave him a kiss and said, Is not the Lord with the holy oil making you ruler over Israel, his people? and you will have authority over the people of the Lord, and you will make them safe from the hands of their attackers round about them, and this will be the sign for you:

bbe@1Samuel:10:3 @Then you are to go on from there, and when you come to the oak-tree of Tabor, you will see three men going up to God to Beth-el, one having with him three young goats and another three cakes of bread and another a skin full of wine:

bbe@1Samuel:10:4 @They will say, Peace be with you, and will give you two cakes of bread, which you are to take from them.

bbe@1Samuel:10:5 @After that you will come to Gibeah, the hill of God, where an armed force of the Philistines is stationed: and when you come to the town, you will see a band of prophets coming down from the high place with instruments of music before them; and they will be acting like prophets:

bbe@1Samuel:10:6 @And the spirit of the Lord will come on you with power, and you will be acting like a prophet with them, and will be changed into another man.

bbe@1Samuel:10:7 @And when these signs come to you, see that you take the chance which is offered you; for God is with you.

bbe@1Samuel:10:8 @Then you are to go down before me to Gilgal, where I will come to you, for the offering of burned offerings and peace-offerings: go on waiting there for seven days till I come to you and make clear to you what you have to do.

bbe@1Samuel:10:9 @And it came about, that when he went away from Samuel, God gave him a changed heart: and all those signs took place that day

bbe@1Samuel:10:10 @And when they came to Gibeah, a band of prophets came face to face with him; and the spirit of God came on him with power and he took his place among them as a prophet.

bbe@1Samuel:10:12 @And one of the people of that place said in answer, And who is their father? So it became a common saying, Is even Saul among the prophets?

bbe@1Samuel:10:21 @Then he made the tribe of Benjamin come near by families, and the family of the Matrites was taken: and from them, Saul, the son of Kish, was taken: but when they went in search of him he was nowhere to be seen.

bbe@1Samuel:10:24 @And Samuel said to all the people, Do you see the man of the Lord's selection, how there is no other like him among all the people? And all the people with loud cries said, Long life to the king!

bbe@1Samuel:10:25 @Then Samuel gave the people the laws of the kingdom, writing them in a book which he put in a safe place before the Lord. And Samuel sent all the people away, every man to his house.

bbe@1Samuel:10:26 @And Saul went to Gibeah, to his house; and with him went the men of war whose hearts had been touched by God.

bbe@1Samuel:11:1 @Then about a month after this, Nahash the Ammonite came up and put his forces in position for attacking Jabesh-gilead: and all the men of Jabesh said to Nahash, Make an agreement with us and we will be your servants.

bbe@1Samuel:11:2 @And Nahash the Ammonite said to them, I will make an agreement with you on this condition, that all your right eyes are put out; so that I may make it a cause of shame to all Israel.

bbe@1Samuel:11:6 @And at their words, the spirit of God came on Saul with power, and he became very angry.

bbe@1Samuel:11:11 @Now on the day after, Saul put the people into three bands, and in the morning watch they came to the tents of the Ammonites, and they went on attacking them till the heat of the day: and those who were not put to death were put to flight in every direction, so that no two of them were together

bbe@1Samuel:11:12 @And the people said to Samuel, Who was it who said, Is Saul to be our king? give the men up, so that we may put them to death.

bbe@1Samuel:11:15 @So all the people went to Gilgal; and there in Gilgal they made Saul king before the Lord; and peace-offerings were offered before the Lord; and there Saul and all the men of Israel were glad with great joy.

bbe@1Samuel:12:2 @And now, see, the king is before you: and I am old and grey-headed, and my sons are with you: I have been living before your eyes from my early days till now.

bbe@1Samuel:12:3 @Here I am: give witness against me before the Lord and before the man on whom he has put the holy oil: whose ox or ass have I taken? to whom have I been untrue? who has been crushed down by me? from whose hand have I taken a price for the blinding of my eyes? I will give it all back to you.

bbe@1Samuel:12:5 @Then he said, The Lord is witness against you, and the man on whom he has put the holy oil is witness this day that you have seen no wrong in me. And they said, He is witness.

bbe@1Samuel:12:6 @And Samuel said to the people, The Lord is witness, who gave authority to Moses and Aaron, and who took your fathers up out of the land of Egypt.

bbe@1Samuel:12:7 @Keep your places now, while I take up the argument with you before the Lord, and give you the story of the righteousness of the Lord, which he has made clear by his acts to you and to your fathers.

bbe@1Samuel:12:12 @And when you saw that Nahash, the king of the Ammonites, was coming against you, you said to me, No more of this; we will have a king for our ruler: when the Lord your God was your king.

bbe@1Samuel:12:15 @But if you do not give ear to the voice of the Lord, but go against his orders, then the hand of the Lord will be against you and against your king for your destruction, as it was against your fathers.

bbe@1Samuel:12:17 @Is it not now the time of the grain cutting? My cry will go up to the Lord and he will send thunder and rain: so that you may see and be conscious of your great sin which you have done in the eyes of the Lord in desiring a king for yourselves.

bbe@1Samuel:12:19 @And all the people said to Samuel, Make prayer for us to the Lord your God so that death may not overtake us: for in addition to all our sins we have done this evil, in desiring a king.

bbe@1Samuel:12:20 @Then Samuel said to the people, Have no fear: truly you have done evil, but do not be turned away from the Lord; be his servants with all your heart;

bbe@1Samuel:12:21 @And do not go from the right way turning to those false gods in which there is no profit and no salvation, for they are false.

bbe@1Samuel:12:22 @For the Lord will not give his people up, because of the honour of his name; for it was the Lord's pleasure to make of you a people for himself.

bbe@1Samuel:12:24 @Only go in the fear of the Lord, and be his true servants with all your heart, keeping in mind what great things he has done for you.

bbe@1Samuel:13:2 @And Saul took for himself three thousand men of Israel, of whom he kept two thousand with him in Michmash and in the mountain of Beth-el, and a thousand were with Jonathan in Gibeah in the land of Benjamin: the rest of the people he sent back to their tents.

bbe@1Samuel:13:4 @And all Israel had the news that Saul had made an attack on the Philistines, and that Israel was bitterly hated by the Philistines. And the people came together after Saul to Gilgal.

bbe@1Samuel:13:5 @And the Philistines came together to make war on Israel, three thousand war-carriages and six thousand horsemen and an army of people like the sands of the sea in number: they came up and took up their position in Michmash, to the east of Beth-aven.

bbe@1Samuel:13:8 @And he went on waiting there for seven days, the time fixed by Samuel: but Samuel did not come to Gilgal; and the people were starting to go away from him.

bbe@1Samuel:13:12 @I said, Now the Philistines will come down on me at Gilgal, and I have made no prayer for help to the Lord: and so, forcing myself to do it, I made a burned offering.

bbe@1Samuel:13:13 @And Samuel said to Saul, You have done a foolish thing: you have not kept the rules which the Lord your God gave you; it was the purpose of the Lord to make your authority over Israel safe for ever.

bbe@1Samuel:13:14 @But now, your authority will not go on: the Lord, searching for a man who is pleasing to him in every way, has given him the place of ruler over his people, because you have not done what the Lord gave you orders to do.

bbe@1Samuel:13:15 @Then Samuel went up from Gilgal and the rest of the people went up after Saul against the men of war, and they came from Gilgal to Gibeah in the land of Benjamin: and Saul took the number of the people who were with him, about six hundred men

bbe@1Samuel:13:16 @And Saul, with Jonathan his son and the people who were with them, was waiting in Geba in the land of Benjamin: but the tents of the Philistines were in Michmash.

bbe@1Samuel:13:20 @But all the Israelites had to go to the Philistines to get their ploughs and blades and axes and hooks made sharp;

bbe@1Samuel:13:22 @So on the day of the fight at Michmash, not a sword or a spear was to be seen in the hands of any of the people with Saul and Jonathan: only Saul and his son Jonathan had them.

bbe@1Samuel:14:1 @Now one day Jonathan, the son of Saul, said to the young man who was with him, looking after his arms, Come, let us go over to the Philistine force over there. But he said nothing to his father.

bbe@1Samuel:14:2 @And Saul was still waiting in the farthest part of Geba, under the fruit-tree in Migron: there were about six hundred men with him;

bbe@1Samuel:14:3 @And Ahijah, the son of Ahitub, brother of Ichabod, the son of Phinehas, the son of Eli, the priest of the Lord in Shiloh, who had the ephod. And the people had no idea that Jonathan had gone.

bbe@1Samuel:14:6 @And Jonathan said to his young servant who had his arms, Come, let us go over to the armies of these men who have no circumcision: it may be that the Lord will give us help, for there is no limit to his power; the Lord is able to give salvation by a great army or by a small band.

bbe@1Samuel:14:7 @And his servant said to him, Do whatever is in your mind: see, I am with you in every impulse of your heart.

bbe@1Samuel:14:13 @And Jonathan went up, gripping with his hands and his feet, his servant going up after him; and the Philistines gave way before Jonathan when he made an attack on them, and his servant put them to death after him.

bbe@1Samuel:14:15 @And there was great fear in the tents and in the field and among all the men of the armed force, and the attackers were shaking with fear; even the earth was moved with a great shaking and there was a fear as from God.

bbe@1Samuel:14:17 @Then Saul said to the people who were with him, Let everyone be numbered and let us see who has gone from us

bbe@1Samuel:14:18 @And Saul said to Ahijah, Let the ephod come here. For he went before Israel with the ephod at that time.

bbe@1Samuel:14:20 @And Saul and all the people with him came together and went forward to the fight: and every man's sword was turned against the man at his side, and there was a very great noise.

bbe@1Samuel:14:21 @Then the Hebrews who had been with the Philistines for some time, and had gone up with them to their tents, turning round were joined to those who were with Saul and Jonathan.

bbe@1Samuel:14:24 @And all the people were with Saul, about twenty thousand men, and the fight was general through all the hill-country of Ephraim; but Saul made a great error that day, by putting the people under an oath, saying, Let that man be cursed who takes food before evening comes and I have given punishment to those who are against me. So the people had not a taste of food.

bbe@1Samuel:14:25 @And there was honey on the face of the field, and all the people came to the honey, the bees having gone from it;

bbe@1Samuel:14:27 @But Jonathan, having no knowledge of the oath his father had put on the people, stretching out the rod which was in his hand, put the end of it in the honey, and put it to his mouth; then his eyes were made bright.

bbe@1Samuel:14:29 @Then Jonathan said, My father has made trouble come on the land: now see how bright my eyes have become because I have taken a little of this honey.

bbe@1Samuel:14:32 @And rushing at the goods taken in the fight, the people took oxen and sheep and young oxen, and put them to death there on the earth, and had a meal, taking the flesh with the blood in it.

bbe@1Samuel:14:33 @Then it was said to Saul, See, the people are sinning against the Lord, taking the blood with the flesh. And he said to those who gave him the news, Now let a great stone be rolled to me here.

bbe@1Samuel:14:34 @And Saul said, Go about among the people and say to them, Let every man come here to me with his ox and his sheep, and put them to death here, and take his meal: do no sin against the Lord by taking the blood with the flesh. So all the people took their oxen with them that night and put them to death there.

bbe@1Samuel:14:40 @Then he said to all Israel, You be on one side, and I with Jonathan my son will be on the other side. And the people said to Saul, Do whatever seems good to you.

bbe@1Samuel:14:41 @Then Saul said to the Lord, the God of Israel, Why have you not given me an answer today? If the sin is in me or in Jonathan my son, O Lord God of Israel, give Urim, and if it is in your people Israel, give Thummim. And by the decision of the Lord, Saul and Jonathan were marked out, and the people went free.

bbe@1Samuel:14:43 @Then Saul said to Jonathan, Give me an account of what you have done. And Jonathan gave him the story and said, Certainly I took a little honey on the end of my rod; and now death is to be my fate.

bbe@1Samuel:14:45 @And the people said to Saul, Is death to come to Jonathan, the worker of this great salvation for Israel? Let it not be so: by the living Lord, not one hair of his head is to be touched, for he has been working with God today. So the people kept Jonathan from death.

bbe@1Samuel:14:47 @Now when Saul had taken his place as ruler of Israel, he made war on those who were against him on every side, Moab and the Ammonites and Edom and the kings of Zobah and the Philistines: and whichever way he went, he overcame them.

bbe@1Samuel:14:48 @And he did great things, and overcame the Amalekites, and made Israel safe from the hands of their attackers.

bbe@1Samuel:14:52 @All through the life of Saul there was bitter war against the Philistines; and whenever Saul saw any strong man or any good fighting man, he kept him near himself.

bbe@1Samuel:15:3 @Go now and put Amalek to the sword, putting to the curse all they have, without mercy: put to death every man and woman, every child and baby at the breast, every ox and sheep, camel and ass.

bbe@1Samuel:15:5 @And Saul came to the town of Amalek, and took up his position in the valley secretly.

bbe@1Samuel:15:6 @And Saul said to the Kenites, Go away, take yourselves out from among the Amalekites, or destruction will overtake you with them: for you were kind to the children of Israel when they came out of Egypt. So the Kenites went away from among the Amalekites.

bbe@1Samuel:15:7 @And Saul made an attack on the Amalekites from Havilah on the road to Shur, which is before Egypt.

bbe@1Samuel:15:8 @He took Agag, king of the Amalekites, prisoner, and put all the people to the sword without mercy.

bbe@1Samuel:15:11 @It is no longer my pleasure for Saul to be king; for he is turned back from going in my ways, and has not done my orders. And Samuel was very sad, crying to the Lord in prayer all night.

bbe@1Samuel:15:13 @And Samuel came to Saul; and Saul said to him, May the blessing of the Lord be with you: I have done what was ordered by the Lord.

bbe@1Samuel:15:15 @And Saul said, They have taken them from the Amalekites: for the people have kept the best of the sheep and of the oxen as an offering to the Lord your God; all the rest we have given up to destruction.

bbe@1Samuel:15:17 @And Samuel said, Though you may seem little to yourself, are you not head of the tribes of Israel? for the Lord with the holy oil made you king over Israel,

bbe@1Samuel:15:18 @And the Lord sent you on a journey and said, Go and put to the curse those sinners, the Amalekites, fighting against them till every one is dead.

bbe@1Samuel:15:20 @And Saul said, Truly, I have done the orders of the Lord and have gone the way the Lord sent me; I have taken Agag, the king of Amalek, and have given the Amalekites up to destruction.

bbe@1Samuel:15:25 @So now, let my sin have forgiveness, and go back with me to give worship to the Lord.

bbe@1Samuel:15:26 @And Samuel said to Saul, I will not go back with you: for you have put away from you the word of the Lord, and the Lord has put you from your place as king over Israel.

bbe@1Samuel:15:28 @And Samuel said to him, The Lord has taken away the kingdom of Israel from you this day by force, and has given it to a neighbour of yours who is better than you.

bbe@1Samuel:15:30 @Then he said, Great is my sin: but still, give me honour now before the heads of my people and before Israel, and come back with me so that I may give worship to the Lord your God.

bbe@1Samuel:15:32 @Then Samuel said, Make Agag, the king of the Amalekites, come here to me. And Agag came to him shaking with fear. And Agag said, Truly the pain of death is past.

bbe@1Samuel:15:33 @And Samuel said, As your sword has made women without children, so now your mother will be without children among women. And Agag was cut up by Samuel, bone from bone, before the Lord in Gilgal.

bbe@1Samuel:15:35 @And Samuel never saw Saul again till the day of his death; but Samuel was sorrowing for Saul: and it was no longer the Lord's pleasure for Saul to be king over Israel.

bbe@1Samuel:16:1 @And the Lord said to Samuel, How long will you go on sorrowing for Saul, seeing that I have put him from his place as king over Israel? Take oil in your vessel and go; I will send you to Jesse, the Beth-lehemite: for I have got a king for myself among his sons.

bbe@1Samuel:16:2 @And Samuel said, How is it possible for me to go? If Saul gets news of it he will put me to death. And the Lord said, Take a young cow with you and say, I have come to make an offering to the Lord.

bbe@1Samuel:16:5 @And he said, In peace: I have come to make an offering to the Lord: make yourselves clean and come with me to make the offering. And he made Jesse and his sons clean, and sent for them to be present at the offering.

bbe@1Samuel:16:13 @Then Samuel took the bottle of oil, and put the oil on him there among his brothers: and from that day the spirit of the Lord came on David with power. So Samuel went back to Ramah.

bbe@1Samuel:16:14 @Now the spirit of the Lord had gone from Saul, and an evil spirit from the Lord was troubling him.

bbe@1Samuel:16:15 @And Saul's servants said to him, See now, an evil spirit from God is troubling you.

bbe@1Samuel:16:16 @Now give orders to your servants who are here before you to go in search of a man who is an expert player on a corded instrument: and it will be that when the evil spirit from God is on you, he will make music for you on his instrument, and you will get well.

bbe@1Samuel:16:18 @Then one of the servants in answer said, I have seen a son of Jesse, the Beth-lehemite, who is expert at playing, and a strong man and a man of war; and he is wise in his words, and pleasing in looks, and the Lord is with him.

bbe@1Samuel:16:19 @So Saul sent his servants to Jesse and said, Send me your son David who is with the sheep.

bbe@1Samuel:16:21 @And David came to Saul, waiting before him: and he became very dear to Saul, who made him his servant, giving him the care of his arms

bbe@1Samuel:16:22 @And Saul sent to Jesse saying, Let David be with me, for he is pleasing to me.

bbe@1Samuel:16:23 @And whenever the evil spirit from God came on Saul, David took his instrument and made music: so new life came to Saul, and he got well, and the evil spirit went away from him.

bbe@1Samuel:17:1 @Now the Philistines got their armies together for war, and came together at Socoh in the land of Judah, and took up their position between Socoh and Azekah in Ephes-dammim.

bbe@1Samuel:17:2 @And Saul and the men of Israel came together and took up their position in the valley of Elah, and put their forces in order against the Philistines.

bbe@1Samuel:17:4 @And a fighter came out from the tents of the Philistines, named Goliath of Gath; he was more than six cubits tall.

bbe@1Samuel:17:6 @His legs were covered with plates of brass and hanging on his back was a javelin of brass.

bbe@1Samuel:17:7 @The stem of his spear was as long as a cloth-worker's rod, and its head was made of six hundred shekels' weight of iron: and one went before him with his body-cover.

bbe@1Samuel:17:8 @He took up his position and in a loud voice said to the armies of Israel, Why have you come out to make war? Am I not a Philistine and you servants of Saul? Send out a man for yourselves and let him come down to me.

bbe@1Samuel:17:9 @If he is able to have a fight with me and overcome me, then we will be your servants: but if I am able to overcome him, then you will be our servants and do work for us.

bbe@1Samuel:17:12 @Now David was the son of that Ephrathite of Beth-lehem-judah named Jesse, who had eight sons; and he was an old man in Saul's day, and far on in years.

bbe@1Samuel:17:13 @And the three oldest sons of Jesse had gone with Saul to the fight: the names of the three who went to the fight were Eliab, the oldest, and Abinadab the second, and Shammah the third.

bbe@1Samuel:17:14 @And David was the youngest: and the three oldest were with Saul's army.

bbe@1Samuel:17:17 @And Jesse said to his son David, Take now for your brothers an ephah of this dry grain and these ten cakes of bread, and go quickly with them to the tents to your brothers;

bbe@1Samuel:17:18 @And take these ten cheeses to the captain of their thousand, and see how your brothers are and come back with a sign to say how they are.

bbe@1Samuel:17:19 @Now Saul, and they, and all the men of Israel were in the valley of Elah, fighting with the Philistines.

bbe@1Samuel:17:21 @And Israel and the Philistines had put their forces in position, army against army.

bbe@1Samuel:17:24 @And all the men of Israel, when they saw him, went in flight, overcome with fear.

bbe@1Samuel:17:25 @And the men of Israel said, Have you seen this man? Clearly he has come out to put shame on Israel: and it is certain that if any man overcomes him, the king will give that man great wealth, and will give him his daughter, and make his father's family free in Israel.

bbe@1Samuel:17:26 @And David said to the men near him, What will be done to the man who overcomes this Philistine and takes away the shame from Israel? for who is this Philistine, a man without circumcision, that he has put shame on the armies of the living God?

bbe@1Samuel:17:27 @And the people gave him this answer, So it will be done to the man who overcomes him.

bbe@1Samuel:17:28 @And Eliab, his oldest brother, hearing what David said to the men, was moved to wrath against David, and said, Why have you come here? Into whose care have you given that little flock of sheep in the waste land? I have knowledge of your pride and the evil of your heart, you have come down to see the fight.

bbe@1Samuel:17:29 @And David said, What have I done now? was it not only a word?

bbe@1Samuel:17:31 @And, hearing what David said, they gave Saul word of it: and he sent for him.

bbe@1Samuel:17:32 @And David said to Saul, Let no man's heart become feeble because of him; I, your servant, will go out and have a fight with this Philistine.

bbe@1Samuel:17:33 @And Saul said to David, You are not able to go out against this Philistine and have a fight with him: for you are only a boy, and he has been a man of war from his earliest days.

bbe@1Samuel:17:35 @I went out after him, and overcame him, and took it out of his mouth: and if, turning on me, he came at me, I took him by the hair and overcame him and put him to death.

bbe@1Samuel:17:36 @Your servant has overcome lion and bear: and the fate of this Philistine, who is without circumcision, will be like theirs, seeing that he has put shame on the armies of the living God.

bbe@1Samuel:17:37 @And David said, The Lord, who kept me safe from the grip of the lion and the bear, will be my saviour from the hands of this Philistine. And Saul said to David, Go! and may the Lord be with you.

bbe@1Samuel:17:38 @Then Saul gave David his clothing of war, and put a head-dress of brass on his head and had him clothed with a coat of metal.

bbe@1Samuel:17:39 @And David took Saul's sword and put the band round him over the metal coat, and was unable to go forward; for he was not used to them. Then David said to Saul, It is not possible for me to go out with these, for I am not used to them. So David took them off.

bbe@1Samuel:17:43 @And the Philistine said to David, Am I a dog, that you come out to me with sticks? And the Philistine put curses on David by all his gods.

bbe@1Samuel:17:45 @Then David said to the Philistine, You come to me with a sword and a spear and a javelin: but I come to you in the name of the Lord of armies, the God of the armies of Israel on which you have put shame.

bbe@1Samuel:17:49 @And David put his hand in his bag and took out a stone and sent it from his leather band straight at the Philistine, and the stone went deep into his brow, and he went down to the earth, falling on his face.

bbe@1Samuel:17:50 @So David overcame the Philistine with his leather band and a stone, wounding the Philistine and causing his death: but David had no sword in his hand.

bbe@1Samuel:17:51 @So running up to the Philistine and putting his foot on him, David took his sword out of its cover, and put him to death, cutting off his head with it. And when the Philistines saw that their fighter was dead, they went in flight.

bbe@1Samuel:17:57 @And when David was coming back after the destruction of the Philistine, Abner took him to Saul, with the head of the Philistine in his hand.

bbe@1Samuel:18:1 @Now after David's talk with Saul was ended, the soul of Jonathan was joined with the soul of David, and David became as dear to him as his very life.

bbe@1Samuel:18:4 @And Jonathan took off the robe he had on and gave it to David, with all his military dress, even to his sword and his bow and the band round his body.

bbe@1Samuel:18:6 @Now on their way, when David came back after the destruction of the Philistine, the women came out of all the towns of Israel, with songs and dances, meeting David with melody and joy and instruments of music.

bbe@1Samuel:18:8 @And Saul was very angry and this saying was unpleasing to him; and he said, They have given David credit for tens of thousands, and to me for only thousands: what more is there for him but the kingdom?

bbe@1Samuel:18:9 @And from that day Saul was looking with envy on David.

bbe@1Samuel:18:10 @Now on the day after, an evil spirit from God came on Saul with great force and he was acting like a prophet among the men of his house, while David was making music for him, as he did day by day: and Saul had his spear in his hand

bbe@1Samuel:18:12 @And Saul went in fear of David, because the Lord was with David and had gone away from Saul.

bbe@1Samuel:18:14 @And in all his undertakings David did wisely; and the Lord was with him.

bbe@1Samuel:18:17 @And Saul said to David, Here is my oldest daughter Merab, whom I will give you for your wife: only be strong for me, fighting in the Lord's wars. For Saul said, Let it not be through me that his fate comes to him, but through the Philistines.

bbe@1Samuel:18:20 @And Saul's daughter Michal was in love with David: and Saul had word of it and was pleased.

bbe@1Samuel:18:22 @And Saul gave his servants orders saying, Have talk with David secretly and say to him, See how the king has delight in you, and how you are loved by all his servants: then be the king's son-in-law.

bbe@1Samuel:18:23 @And Saul's servants said these things to David. And David said, Does it seem to you a small thing to be the king's son-in-law, seeing that I am a poor man, of no great name?

bbe@1Samuel:18:25 @And Saul said, Then say to David, The king has no desire for any bride-price, but only for the private parts of a hundred Philistines so that the king may get the better of his haters. But it was in Saul's mind that David might come to his end by the hands of the Philistines.

bbe@1Samuel:18:28 @And it was clear to Saul that the Lord was with David; and he was loved by all Israel.

bbe@1Samuel:19:3 @And I will go out and take my place by my father's side in the field near where you are; and I will get into talk with my father about you, and when I see how things are, I will give you word.

bbe@1Samuel:19:5 @For he put his life in danger and overcame the Philistine, and the Lord gave all Israel salvation: you saw it and were glad: why then are you sinning against him who has done no wrong, desiring the death of David without cause?

bbe@1Samuel:19:6 @And Saul gave ear to the voice of Jonathan, and said with an oath, By the living Lord, he is not to be put to death.

bbe@1Samuel:19:9 @And an evil spirit from the Lord came on Saul, when he was seated in his house with his spear in his hand; and David made music for him.

bbe@1Samuel:19:13 @Then Michal took the image and put it in the bed, with a cushion of goat's hair at its head, and she put clothing over it.

bbe@1Samuel:19:15 @And Saul sent his men to see David, saying, Do not come back without him, take him in his bed, so that I may put him to death.

bbe@1Samuel:19:16 @And when the men came in, there was the image in the bed, with the cushion of goat's hair at its head

bbe@1Samuel:19:20 @And Saul sent men to take David; and when they saw the band of prophets at work, with Samuel in his place at their head, the spirit of God came on Saul's men, and they became like prophets.

bbe@1Samuel:19:23 @And he went on from there to Naioth in Ramah: and the spirit of God came on him, and he went on, acting like a prophet, till he came to Naioth in Ramah.

bbe@1Samuel:19:24 @And he took off his clothing, acting like a prophet before Samuel, and falling down he was stretched out, without his clothing, all that day and all that night. This is the reason for the saying, Is even Saul among the prophets?

bbe@1Samuel:20:2 @And he said to him, Far be the thought: you will not be put to death: see, my father does nothing, great or small, without giving me word of it: would he keep this secret from me? It is not so.

bbe@1Samuel:20:3 @But David took his oath again and said, Your father sees that I am dear to you; so he says to himself, Let Jonathan have no idea of this, for it will be a grief to him; but as the Lord is living, and as your soul is living, there is only a step between me and death.

bbe@1Samuel:20:4 @Then Jonathan said to David, Whatever your desire is, I will do it for you.

bbe@1Samuel:20:5 @And David said to Jonathan, Tomorrow is the new moon, and I will not be seated with the king at his table: but let me go to a safe place in the country till the evening.

bbe@1Samuel:20:6 @And if your father takes note of the fact that I am away, say, David made a request to me for himself that he might go to Beth-lehem, to his town: for it is the time when his family make their offering year by year.

bbe@1Samuel:20:7 @If he says, It is well, your servant will be at peace: but if he is angry, then it will be clear to you that he has an evil purpose in mind against me.

bbe@1Samuel:20:8 @So, then, be kind to your servant; for you have been united with your servant in an agreement made before the Lord: but if there is any wrongdoing in me, put me to death yourself; why take me to your father?

bbe@1Samuel:20:9 @And Jonathan said, Do not have such a thought: for if I saw that my father was designing evil against you, would I not give you word of it?

bbe@1Samuel:20:12 @And Jonathan said to David, May the Lord, the God of Israel, be witness; when I have had a chance of talking to my father, about this time tomorrow, if his feelings to David are good, will I not send and give you the news?

bbe@1Samuel:20:13 @May the Lord's punishment be on Jonathan, if it is my father's pleasure to do you evil and I do not give you word of it and send you away so that you may go in peace: and may the Lord be with you, as he has been with my father.

bbe@1Samuel:20:16 @And if it comes about that the name of Jonathan is cut off from the family of David, the Lord will make David responsible.

bbe@1Samuel:20:18 @Then Jonathan said to him, Tomorrow is the new moon: and it will be seen that you are not present, for there will be no one in your seat.

bbe@1Samuel:20:19 @And on the third day it will be specially noted, and you will go to the place where you took cover when the other business was in hand, waiting by the hill over there.

bbe@1Samuel:20:20 @And on the third day I will send arrows from my bow against its side as if at a mark.

bbe@1Samuel:20:21 @And I will send my boy to have a look for the arrow. And if I say to him, See, the arrow is on this side of you; take it up! then you may come; for there is peace for you and no evil, by the living Lord.

bbe@1Samuel:20:26 @But Saul said nothing that day, for his thought was, Something has taken place making him unclean; it is clear that he is not clean.

bbe@1Samuel:20:31 @For while the son of Jesse is living on the earth, your position is unsafe and your kingdom is in danger. So make him come here to me, for it is certainly right for him to be put to death.

bbe@1Samuel:20:33 @And Saul, pointing his spear at him, made an attempt to give him a wound: from which it was clear to Jonathan that his father's purpose was to put David to death.

bbe@1Samuel:20:34 @So Jonathan got up from the table, burning with wrath, and took no part in the feast the second day of the month, being full of grief for David because his father had put shame on him.

bbe@1Samuel:20:35 @Now in the morning, Jonathan went out into the fields at the time he had said to David, and he had a little boy with him.

bbe@1Samuel:20:37 @And when the boy came to the place where the arrow was, Jonathan, crying out after the boy, said, Has it not gone past you?

bbe@1Samuel:20:38 @And Jonathan went on crying out after the boy, Be quick, do not keep waiting about, go quickly. And Jonathan's boy got the arrow and came back to his master.

bbe@1Samuel:20:39 @But the boy had no idea what was going on; only Jonathan and David had knowledge of it.

bbe@1Samuel:21:1 @Then David came to Nob, to Ahimelech the priest: and Ahimelech was full of fear at meeting David, and said to him, Why are you by yourself, having no man with you?

bbe@1Samuel:21:5 @And David in answer said to the priest, Certainly women have been kept from us; and as has been done before when I have gone out the arms of the young men were made holy, even though it was a common journey; how much more today will their arms be made holy.

bbe@1Samuel:21:6 @So the priest gave him the holy bread: there was no other, only the holy bread which had been taken from before the Lord, so that new bread might be put in its place on the day when it was taken away.

bbe@1Samuel:21:7 @Now a certain man of the servants of Saul was there that day, kept back before the Lord; his name was Doeg, an Edomite, the strongest of Saul's runners.

bbe@1Samuel:21:8 @And David said to Ahimelech, Have you no sword or spear with you here? for I have come without my sword and other arms, because the king's business had to be done quickly.

bbe@1Samuel:21:9 @And the priest said, The sword of Goliath the Philistine, whom you put to death in the valley of Elah, is here folded in a cloth at the back of the ephod: take that, if you will, for there is no other sword here. And David said, there is no other sword like that; give it to me.

bbe@1Samuel:21:13 @So changing his behaviour before them, he made it seem as if he was off his head, hammering on the doors of the town, and letting the water from his mouth go down his chin.

bbe@1Samuel:22:1 @So David went away from there and took cover in a strong place at Adullam; and his brothers and all his father's people, hearing of it, went down to him there.

bbe@1Samuel:22:2 @And everyone who was in trouble, and everyone who was in debt, and everyone who was bitter in soul, came together to him, and he became captain over them: about four hundred men were joined to him.

bbe@1Samuel:22:3 @And from there David went to Mizpeh in the land of Moab: and he said to the king of Moab, Let my father and mother come and make their living-place with you till it is clear to me what God will do for me.

bbe@1Samuel:22:4 @And he took them to the king of Moab and they went on living with him while David was in his safe place.

bbe@1Samuel:22:6 @And news was given to Saul that David had been seen, and the men who were with him: now Saul was in Gibeah, seated under the tree in the high place, with his spear in his hand, and all his servants were in their places before him.

bbe@1Samuel:22:7 @Then Saul said to his servants who were there about him, Give ear now, you Benjamites; will the son of Jesse give to every one of you fields and vine-gardens, will he make you all captains of hundreds and captains of thousands;

bbe@1Samuel:22:8 @That all of you have made designs against me, and not one of you gave me word when my son made an agreement with the son of Jesse, and not one of you has pity for me or has made my eyes open to the fact that my servant has been moved by my son against me, as at this day?

bbe@1Samuel:22:9 @Then Doeg, the Edomite, who was by the side of the servants of Saul, in answer said, I saw the son of Jesse coming to Nob, to Ahimelech, the son of Ahitub.

bbe@1Samuel:22:11 @Then the king sent for Ahimelech the priest, the son of Ahitub, and for all the men of his father's family who were priests in Nob: and they all came to the king.

bbe@1Samuel:22:12 @And Saul said, Give ear now, O son of Ahitub. And answering he said, Here I am, my lord.

bbe@1Samuel:22:13 @And Saul said to him, Why have you made designs against me with the son of Jesse, giving him food and a sword and getting directions from the Lord for him, and helping him to take up arms against me, and to be on the watch to make a secret attack on me as he is doing now?

bbe@1Samuel:22:17 @Then the king said to the runners who were waiting near him, Put the priests of the Lord to death; because they are on David's side, and having knowledge of his flight, did not give me word of it. But the king's servants would not put out their hands to make an attack on the Lord's priests.

bbe@1Samuel:22:18 @Then the king said to Doeg, You are to put the priests to death. And Doeg the Edomite, turning on the priests and attacking them, put to death that day eighty-five men who took up the ephod.

bbe@1Samuel:22:20 @And Abiathar, one of the sons of Ahimelech, the son of Ahitub, got away and went in flight after David;

bbe@1Samuel:22:22 @And David said to Abiathar, I was certain that day, when Doeg the Edomite was there, that he would take the news to Saul: I am responsible for the lives of all your father's family.

bbe@1Samuel:22:23 @Keep here with me and have no fear; for he who has designs on my life has designs on yours: but with me you will be safe.

bbe@1Samuel:23:5 @So David and his men went to Keilah, and had a fight with the Philistines, and took away their cattle, and put them to the sword with great destruction. So David was the saviour of the people of Keilah.

bbe@1Samuel:23:6 @Now when Abiathar, the son of Ahimelech, went in flight to David, he came down to Keilah with the ephod in his hand.

bbe@1Samuel:23:7 @And news was given to Saul that David had come to Keilah. And Saul said, Now God has given him into my hands; for by going into a walled town with locked doors, he has let himself be shut in.

bbe@1Samuel:23:9 @And it was clear to David that Saul had evil designs against him, and he said to Abiathar the priest, Come here with the ephod.

bbe@1Samuel:23:10 @Then David said, O Lord, the God of Israel, news has been given to your servant that it is Saul's purpose to come to Keilah and send destruction on the town because of me.

bbe@1Samuel:23:11 @And now, is it true, as they have said to me, that Saul is coming? O Lord, the God of Israel, give ear to your servant, and say if these things are so. And the Lord said, He is coming down.

bbe@1Samuel:23:14 @And David kept in the waste land, in safe places, waiting in the hill-country in the waste land of Ziph. And Saul was searching for him every day, but God did not give him up into his hands.

bbe@1Samuel:23:19 @Then the Ziphites came up to Gibeah to see Saul, and said, Is not David living secretly among us in the strong places in Horesh, in the hill of Hachilah to the south of the waste land?

bbe@1Samuel:23:21 @And Saul said, The Lord's blessing will be yours, for you have had pity on me.

bbe@1Samuel:23:22 @Go now, and take more steps, and see where he is living: for they say that he is expert in deceit.

bbe@1Samuel:23:23 @So take care to get knowledge of all the secret places where he is taking cover, and be certain to come back to me, and I will go with you: and without doubt, if he is anywhere in the land, I will get him, among all the families of Judah.

bbe@1Samuel:23:25 @And Saul and his men went in search of him. And David had word of it, so he came down to the rock in the waste land of Maon. And Saul, hearing of this, went after David into the waste land of Maon.

bbe@1Samuel:24:4 @And David's men said to him, Now is the time when the Lord says to you, I will give up your hater into your hands to do with him whatever seems good to you. Then David, getting up, took the skirt of Saul's robe in his hand, cutting off the end of it without his knowledge.

bbe@1Samuel:24:6 @And David said to his men, Before the Lord, never let it be said that my hand was lifted up against my lord, the man of the Lord's selection, for the Lord's holy oil has been put on him.

bbe@1Samuel:24:7 @So with these words David kept his servants back, and did not let them make an attack on Saul. And Saul got up and went on his way.

bbe@1Samuel:24:9 @And David said to Saul, Why do you give any attention to those who say that it is my desire to do you wrong?

bbe@1Samuel:24:10 @Look! you have seen today how the Lord gave you up into my hands even now in the hollow of the rocks: and some would have had me put you to death, but I had pity on you: for I said, Never will my hand be lifted up against my lord, who has been marked with the holy oil.

bbe@1Samuel:24:11 @And see, my father, see the skirt of your robe in my hand: for the fact that I took off the skirt of your robe and did not put you to death is witness that I have no evil purpose, and I have done you no wrong, though you are waiting for my life to take it.

bbe@1Samuel:24:16 @Now when David had said these words to Saul, Saul said, Is this your voice, David, my son? And Saul was overcome with weeping.

bbe@1Samuel:24:20 @And now I am certain that you will be king, and that the kingdom of Israel will be made strong under your authority

bbe@1Samuel:25:1 @And death came to Samuel; and all Israel came together, weeping for him, and put his body in its resting-place in his house at Ramah. Then David went down to the waste land of Maon.

bbe@1Samuel:25:7 @I have had word that you have wool-cutters: now the keepers of your sheep have been with us, and we have done them no evil, and taken nothing of theirs while they were in Carmel.

bbe@1Samuel:25:11 @Am I to take my bread and my wine and the meat I have got ready for my wool-cutters and give it to men coming from I have no idea where?

bbe@1Samuel:25:13 @And David said to his men, Put on your swords, every one of you. And every man put on his sword; and David did the same; and about four hundred men went up with David, and two hundred kept watch over their goods.

bbe@1Samuel:25:15 @But these men have been very good to us; they did us no wrong and nothing of ours was touched while we were with them in the fields:

bbe@1Samuel:25:16 @But day and night they were like a wall round us while we were with them, looking after the sheep.

bbe@1Samuel:25:17 @So now, give thought to what you are going to do; for evil is in store for our master and all his house: for he is such a good-for-nothing person that it is not possible to say anything to him.

bbe@1Samuel:25:20 @Now while she was going down under cover of the mountain on her ass, David and his men came down against her, and suddenly she came face to face with them.

bbe@1Samuel:25:25 @Let my lord give no attention to Nabal, that good-for-nothing: for as his name is, so is he, a man without sense: but I, your servant, did not see the young men whom my lord sent.

bbe@1Samuel:25:27 @And let this offering, which your servant gives to my lord, be given to the young men who are with my lord.

bbe@1Samuel:25:29 @And though a man has taken up arms against you, putting your life in danger, still the soul of my lord will be kept safe among the band of the living with the Lord your God; and the souls of those who are against you he will send violently away from him, like stones from a bag.

bbe@1Samuel:25:31 @Then you will have no cause for grief, and my lord's heart will not be troubled because you have taken life without cause and have yourself given punishment for your wrongs: and when the Lord has been good to you, then give a thought to your servant.

bbe@1Samuel:25:35 @Then David took from her hands her offering: and he said to her, Go back to your house in peace; see, I have given ear to your voice, and taken your offering with respect.

bbe@1Samuel:25:42 @Then Abigail got up quickly and went on her ass, with five of her young women, after the men whom David had sent; and she became David's wife.

bbe@1Samuel:26:1 @And the Ziphites came to Saul at Gibeah, and said, Is not David waiting secretly near us in the hill of Hachilah, before the waste land?

bbe@1Samuel:26:2 @Then Saul went down to the waste land of Ziph, taking with him three thousand of the best men of Israel, to make search for David in the waste land of Ziph.

bbe@1Samuel:26:5 @And David got up and came to the place where Saul's tents were: and David had a view of the place where Saul was sleeping with Abner, the son of Ner, the captain of his army: and Saul was sleeping inside the ring of carts, and the tents of the people were all round him.

bbe@1Samuel:26:6 @Then David said to Ahimelech the Hittite, and to Abishai, the son of Zeruiah, brother of Joab, Who will go down with me to the tents of Saul? And Abishai said, I will go down with you.

bbe@1Samuel:26:7 @So David and Abishai came down to the army by night: and Saul was sleeping inside the ring of carts with his spear planted in the earth by his head: and Abner and the people were sleeping round him.

bbe@1Samuel:26:8 @Then Abishai said to David, God has given up your hater into your hands today; now let me give him one blow through to the earth with his spear, and there will be no need to give him a second.

bbe@1Samuel:26:9 @And David said to Abishai Do not put him to death; for who, without sin, may put out his hand against the man on whom the Lord has put the holy oil?

bbe@1Samuel:26:11 @Never will my hand be stretched out against the man marked with the holy oil; but take the spear which is by his head and the vessel of water, and let us go

bbe@1Samuel:26:12 @So David took the spear and the vessel of water from Saul's head; and they got away without any man seeing them, or being conscious of their coming, or awaking; for they were all sleeping because a deep sleep from the Lord had come on them.

bbe@1Samuel:26:13 @Then David went over to the other side, and took his place on the top of a mountain some distance away, with a great space between them;

bbe@1Samuel:26:17 @And Saul, conscious that the voice was David's, said, Is that your voice, David, my son? And David said, It is my voice, O my lord king.

bbe@1Samuel:26:19 @Let my lord the king give ear now to the words of his servant. If it is the Lord who is moving you against me, let him take an offering: but if it is the children of men, may they be cursed before the Lord, for driving me out today and keeping me from my place in the heritage of the Lord, saying, Go, be the servant of other gods.

bbe@1Samuel:26:22 @Then David said, Here is the king's spear! let one of the young men come over and get it.

bbe@1Samuel:26:23 @And the Lord will give to every man the reward of his righteousness and his faith: because the Lord gave you into my hands today, and I would not put out my hand against the man who has been marked with the holy oil.

bbe@1Samuel:26:25 @Then Saul said to David, May a blessing be on you, David, my son; you will do great things and without doubt you will overcome. Then David went on his way, and Saul went back to his place.

bbe@1Samuel:27:2 @So David and the six hundred men who were with him went over to Achish, the son of Maoch, king of Gath.

bbe@1Samuel:27:3 @And David and his men were living with Achish at Gath; every man had his family with him, and David had his two wives, Ahinoam of Jezreel, and Abigail of Carmel, who had been the wife of Nabal.

bbe@1Samuel:27:5 @Then David said to Achish, If now I have grace in your eyes, let me have a place in one of the smaller towns of your land, to be my living-place; for it is not right for your servant to be living with you in the king's town.

bbe@1Samuel:27:8 @And David and his men went up and made attacks on the Geshurites and the Girzites and the Amalekites; for these were the people who were living in the land from Telam on the way to Shur, as far as Egypt.

bbe@1Samuel:27:10 @And every time Achish said, Where have you been fighting today? David said, Against the South of Judah and the South of the Jerahmeelites and the South of the Kenites.

bbe@1Samuel:27:11 @Not one living man or woman did David ever take back with him to Gath, fearing that they might give an account of what had taken place, and say, This is what David did, and so has he been doing all the time while he has been living in the land of the Philistines.

bbe@1Samuel:28:1 @Now in those days the Philistines got their forces together to make war on Israel. And Achish said to David, Certainly you and your men are to go out with me to the fight.

bbe@1Samuel:28:3 @Now Samuel was dead, and all Israel, after weeping for him, had put his body in its last resting-place in Ramah, his town. And Saul had put away from the land all those who had control of spirits and who made use of secret arts.

bbe@1Samuel:28:4 @And the Philistines came together and put their forces in position in Shunem; and Saul got all Israel together and they took up their positions in Gilboa.

bbe@1Samuel:28:5 @And when Saul saw the Philistine army he was troubled, and his heart was moved with fear.

bbe@1Samuel:28:7 @Then Saul said to his servants, Get me a woman who has control of a spirit so that I may go to her and get directions. And his servants said to him, There is such a woman at En-dor.

bbe@1Samuel:28:8 @So Saul, putting on other clothing, so that he might not be seen to be the king, took two men with him and went to the woman by night; and he said, Now, with the help of the spirit which you have, make the person whose name I will give you come up.

bbe@1Samuel:28:9 @And the woman said to him, But you have knowledge of what Saul has done, how he has put away out of the land those who have control of spirits and the users of secret arts: why would you, by a trick, put me in danger of death?

bbe@1Samuel:28:12 @And the woman saw that it was Saul, and she gave a loud cry, and said to Saul, Why have you made use of deceit? for you are Saul.

bbe@1Samuel:28:14 @And he said to her, What is his form? And she said, It is an old man coming up covered with a robe. And Saul saw that it was Samuel, and with his face bent down to the earth he gave him honour.

bbe@1Samuel:28:17 @And the Lord himself has done what I said: the Lord has taken the kingdom out of your hand and given it to your neighbour David;

bbe@1Samuel:28:19 @And more than this, the Lord will give Israel up with you into the hands of the Philistines: and tomorrow you and your sons will be with me: and the Lord will give up the army of Israel into the hands of the Philistines.

bbe@1Samuel:28:22 @So now, give ear to the voice of your servant, and let me give you a little bread; and take some food to give you strength when you go on your way.

bbe@1Samuel:28:23 @But he would not, saying, I have no desire for food. But his servants, together with the woman, made him take food, and he gave way to them. So he got up from the earth, and took his seat on the bed.

bbe@1Samuel:28:24 @And the woman had in the house a young cow, made fat for food; and she put it to death straight away; and she took meal and got it mixed and made unleavened bread;

bbe@1Samuel:28:25 @And she put it before Saul and his servants, and they had a meal. Then they got up and went away the same night.

bbe@1Samuel:29:1 @Now the Philistines got all their army together at Aphek: and the Israelites put their forces in position by the fountain in Jezreel.

bbe@1Samuel:29:2 @And the lords of the Philistines went on with their hundreds and their thousands, and David and his men came after with Achish.

bbe@1Samuel:29:3 @Then the rulers of the Philistines said, What are these Hebrews doing here? And Achish said to the rulers of the Philistines, Is this not David, the servant of Saul the king of Israel, who has been with me for a year or two, and I have never seen any wrong in him from the time when he came to me till now?

bbe@1Samuel:29:4 @But the rulers of the Philistines were angry with him, and said to him, Make the man go back to the place you have given him; do not let him go down with us to the fight, or he may be turned against us and be false to us: for how will this man make peace with his lord? will it not be with the heads of these men?

bbe@1Samuel:29:6 @Then Achish sent for David and said to him, By the living Lord, you are upright, and everything you have done with me in the army has been pleasing to me: I have seen no evil in you from the day when you came to me till now: but still, the lords are not pleased with you.

bbe@1Samuel:29:8 @And David said to Achish, But what have I done? what have you seen in your servant while I have been with you till this day, that I may not go and take up arms against those who are now making war on my lord the king?

bbe@1Samuel:29:9 @And Achish in answer said, It is true that in my eyes you are good, like an angel of God: but still, the rulers of the Philistines have said, He is not to go up with us to the fight.

bbe@1Samuel:29:10 @So get up early in the morning, with the servants of your lord who are with you, and go to the place I have given you, and have no evil design in your heart, for you are good in my eyes; but when there is light enough in the morning, go away.

bbe@1Samuel:30:1 @Now when David and his men came to Ziklag on the third day, the Amalekites had made an attack on the South and on Ziklag, and had overcome Ziklag and put it on fire;

bbe@1Samuel:30:3 @And when David and his men came to the town, they saw that it had been burned down, and their wives and their sons and daughters had been made prisoners.

bbe@1Samuel:30:4 @Then David and the people who were with him gave themselves up to weeping till they were able to go on weeping no longer.

bbe@1Samuel:30:6 @And David was greatly troubled; for the people were talking of stoning him, because their hearts were bitter, every man sorrowing for his sons and his daughters: but David made himself strong in the Lord his God.

bbe@1Samuel:30:7 @And David said to Abiathar the priest, the son of Ahimelech, Come here to me with the ephod. And Abiathar took the ephod to David.

bbe@1Samuel:30:9 @So David went, and his six hundred men went with him, and they came to the stream Besor.

bbe@1Samuel:30:10 @And David, with four hundred men, went on: but two hundred of them were overcome with weariness, and not able to go across the stream.

bbe@1Samuel:30:12 @And they gave him part of a cake of figs and some dry grapes; and after the food, his spirit came back to him, for he had had no food or drink for three days and nights.

bbe@1Samuel:30:13 @And David said to him, Whose man are you and where do you come from? And he said, I am a young man of Egypt, servant to an Amalekite; and my master went on without me because three days back I became ill.

bbe@1Samuel:30:14 @We made an attack on the south part of the country of the Cherethites, and on the land which is Judah's, and on the south of Caleb; and we put Ziklag on fire.

bbe@1Samuel:30:18 @And David got back everything the Amalekites had taken; and he got back his two wives.

bbe@1Samuel:30:19 @There was no loss of anything, small or great, sons or daughters or goods or anything which they had taken away: David got it all back

bbe@1Samuel:30:21 @And David came to the two hundred men, who because of weariness had not gone with him, but were waiting at the stream Besor: and they went out, meeting David and the people who were with him; and when they came near them, they said, How are you?

bbe@1Samuel:30:22 @Then the bad and good-for-nothing men among those who went with David said, Because they did not go with us, we will give them nothing of the goods which we have got back, but only to every man his wife and children, so that he may take them and go.

bbe@1Samuel:30:24 @Who is going to give any attention to you in this question? for an equal part will be given to him who went to the fight and to him who was waiting by the goods: they are all to have the same.

bbe@1Samuel:30:25 @And so he made it a rule and an order for Israel from that day till now.

bbe@1Samuel:30:29 @and Carmel and in the towns of the Jerahmeelites, and in the towns of the Kenites;

bbe@1Samuel:31:4 @Then Saul said to the servant who had the care of his arms, Take out your sword and put it through me, before these men without circumcision come and make sport of me. But his servant, full of fear, would not do so. Then Saul took out his sword, and falling on it, put an end to himself.

bbe@1Samuel:31:5 @And when his servant saw that Saul was dead, he did the same, and was united with him in death.

bbe@2Samuel:1:1 @Now after the death of Saul, when David, having come back from the destruction of the Amalekites, had been in Ziklag for two days;

bbe@2Samuel:1:2 @On the third day a man came from Saul's tents, with his clothing out of order and earth on his head: and when he came to David, he went down on the earth and gave him honour.

bbe@2Samuel:1:8 @And he said to me, Who are you? And I said, I am an Amalekite.

bbe@2Samuel:1:9 @Then he said to me, Come here to my side, and put me to death, for the pain of death has me in its grip but my life is still strong in me.

bbe@2Samuel:1:11 @Then David gave way to bitter grief, and so did all the men who were with him:

bbe@2Samuel:1:13 @And David said to the young man who had given him the news, Where do you come from? And he said, I am the son of a man from a strange land; I am an Amalekite.

bbe@2Samuel:1:14 @And David said to him, Had you no fear of stretching out your hand to put to death the one marked with the holy oil?

bbe@2Samuel:1:16 @And David said to him, May your blood be on your head; for your mouth has given witness against you, saying, I have put to death the man marked with the holy oil.

bbe@2Samuel:1:18 @(It is recorded in the book of Jashar for teaching to the sons of Judah) and he said:

bbe@2Samuel:1:20 @Give no news of it in Gath, let it not be said in the streets of Ashkelon; or the daughters of the Philistines will be glad, the daughters of men without circumcision will be uplifted in joy.

bbe@2Samuel:1:21 @O mountains of Gilboa, let there be no dew or rain on you, you fields of death: for there the arms of the strong have been shamed, the arms of Saul, as if he had not been marked with the holy oil.

bbe@2Samuel:1:24 @O daughters of Israel, have sorrow for Saul, by whom you were delicately clothed in robes of red, with ornaments of gold on your dresses.

bbe@2Samuel:2:2 @So David went there, taking with him his two wives, Ahinoam of Jezreel, and Abigail, the wife of Nabal of Carmel.

bbe@2Samuel:2:3 @And David took all his men with him, every man with his family: and they were living in the towns round Hebron.

bbe@2Samuel:2:4 @And the men of Judah came there, and with the holy oil made David king over the people of Judah. And word came to David that it was the men of Jabesh-gilead who put Saul's body in its last resting-place.

bbe@2Samuel:2:9 @And made him king over Gilead and the Asherites and over Jezreel and Ephraim and Benjamin, that is, over all Israel.

bbe@2Samuel:2:12 @And Abner, the son of Ner, with the servants of Saul's son Ish-bosheth, went out from Mahanaim to Gibeon.

bbe@2Samuel:2:13 @And Joab, the son of Zeruiah, and the servants of David, went out and came face to face with them by the pool of Gibeon; and they took up their position, facing one another on opposite sides of the pool.

bbe@2Samuel:2:16 @And every one got the other by the head, driving his sword into the other's side, so they all went down together: and that place was named the Field of Sides, and it is in Gibeon.

bbe@2Samuel:2:20 @Then Abner, looking back, said, Is it you, Asahel? And he said, It is I.

bbe@2Samuel:2:23 @But still he did not go to one side: so Abner gave him a back blow in the stomach with his spear, so that the spear came out at his back; and he went down on the earth, wounded to death: and all those who came to the place where Asahel went down dead, came to a stop.

bbe@2Samuel:2:26 @Then crying out to Joab, Abner said, Are fighting and destruction to go on for ever? do you not see that the end will only be bitter? how long will it be before you send the people back and make them give up attacking their countrymen?

bbe@2Samuel:2:29 @And all that night Abner and his men went through the Arabah; they went over Jordan and through all Bithron and came to Mahanaim.

bbe@2Samuel:2:30 @And Joab came back from fighting Abner: and when he had got all his men together, it was seen that nineteen of David's men, in addition to Asahel, were not with them.

bbe@2Samuel:2:32 @And they took Asahel's body and put it in the last resting-place of his father in Beth-lehem. And Joab and his men, travelling all night, came to Hebron at dawn.

bbe@2Samuel:3:3 @And the second, Chileab, whose mother was Abigail, the wife of Nabal the Carmelite; and the third, Absalom, son of Maacah, the daughter of Talmai, king of Geshur;

bbe@2Samuel:3:4 @And the fourth, Adonijah, the son of Haggith; and the fifth, Shephatiah, the son of Abital;

bbe@2Samuel:3:5 @And the sixth, Ithream, whose mother was David's wife Eglah. These were the sons of David, whose birth took place in Hebron.

bbe@2Samuel:3:8 @And Abner was very angry at the words of Ish-bosheth, and he said, Am I a dog's head of Judah? I am this day doing all in my power for the cause of your father Saul and for his brothers and his friends, and have not given you up into the hands of David, and now you say I have done wrong with a woman.

bbe@2Samuel:3:12 @And Abner sent men to David at Hebron, saying, Make an agreement with me, and I will give you my support in getting all Israel on your side.

bbe@2Samuel:3:13 @And he said, It is well; I will make an agreement with you, but on one condition, which is, that when you come before me, Saul's daughter Michal is to come with you; till she comes you will not see my face.

bbe@2Samuel:3:16 @And her husband went with her as far as Bahurim, weeping while he went. Then Abner said to him, Go back. And he went back.

bbe@2Samuel:3:17 @Then Abner had a talk with the chief men of Israel, saying, In the past it was your desire to make David your king: so now, do it:

bbe@2Samuel:3:20 @So Abner, with twenty men, came to Hebron, to David. And David made a feast for Abner and the men who were with him.

bbe@2Samuel:3:21 @And Abner said to David, Now I will go, and make all Israel come to my lord the king, so that they may make an agreement with you, and your kingdom may be as wide as your heart's desire. Then David sent Abner away and he went in peace.

bbe@2Samuel:3:22 @Now the servants of David and Joab had been out attacking a band of armed men, and they came back with a great store of goods taken in the fight: but Abner was no longer in Hebron with David, for he had sent him away and he had gone in peace.

bbe@2Samuel:3:25 @Is it not clear to you that Abner, the son of Ner, came with deceit to get knowledge of your going out and your coming in and of all you are doing?

bbe@2Samuel:3:26 @And when Joab had come out from David, he sent men after Abner, and they overtook him at the water-spring of Sirah, and made him come back with them: but David had no knowledge of it.

bbe@2Samuel:3:27 @And when Abner was back in Hebron, Joab took him on one side by the doorway of the town to have a word with him quietly, and there he gave him a wound in the stomach, causing his death in payment for the death of his brother Asahel.

bbe@2Samuel:3:28 @And when David had word of it he said, May I and my kingdom be clear for ever in the eyes of the Lord from the blood of Abner, the son of Ner:

bbe@2Samuel:3:29 @May it come on the head of Joab and all his father's family: among the men of Joab's family may there ever be some who are diseased or lepers, or who do the work of women, or are put to the sword, or are wasted from need of food!

bbe@2Samuel:3:31 @And David said to Joab and all the people who were with him, Go in grief and put haircloth about you, in sorrow for Abner. And King David went after the dead body.

bbe@2Samuel:3:35 @And the people came to make David take food, while it was still day, but David with an oath said, May God's punishment be on me if I take a taste of bread or any other thing till the sun has gone down!

bbe@2Samuel:3:36 @And all the people took note of it and were pleased: like everything the king did, it was pleasing to the people.

bbe@2Samuel:3:37 @So it was clear to Israel and to all the people on that day that the king was not responsible for the death of Abner, the son of Ner.

bbe@2Samuel:3:39 @While I, though I am crowned king, have little strength, and these men, the sons of Zeruiah, are out of my control: may the Lord give to the evil-doer the reward of his evil-doing!

bbe@2Samuel:4:1 @And when Saul's son Ish-bosheth had news that Abner was dead in Hebron, his hands became feeble, and all the Israelites were troubled.

bbe@2Samuel:4:2 @And Saul's son had two men, captains of bands, one named Baanah and the other Rechab, sons of Rimmon the Beerothite, of the tribe of Benjamin; (for Beeroth was at one time taken to be part of Benjamin:

bbe@2Samuel:4:3 @But the people of Beeroth had gone in flight to Gittaim, where they have been living to this day.)

bbe@2Samuel:4:5 @And Rechab and Baanah, the sons of Rimmon the Beerothite, went out and came to the house of Ish-bosheth in the heat of the day, when he was resting in the middle of the day. Now the woman who kept the door was cleaning grain, and sleep overcame her.

bbe@2Samuel:4:6 @And Rechab and his brother Baanah got in without being seen.

bbe@2Samuel:4:7 @And when they came into the house, Ish-bosheth was stretched on his bed in his bedroom; and they made an attack on him and put him to death, and, cutting off his head, they took it with them and went by the road through the Arabah all night.

bbe@2Samuel:4:9 @And David made answer to Rechab and his brother Baanah, the sons of Rimmon the Beerothite, and said to them, By the living Lord, who has kept me safe from all my trouble,

bbe@2Samuel:4:10 @When one came to me with the news of Saul's death, in the belief that it would be good news, I took him and put him to death in Ziklag, which was the reward I gave him for his news:

bbe@2Samuel:4:12 @And David gave orders to his young men and they put them to death, cutting off their hands and their feet and hanging them up by the side of the pool in Hebron. But they took the head of Ish-bosheth and put it in its last resting-place with Abner's body in Hebron.

bbe@2Samuel:5:2 @In the past when Saul was king over us, it was you who went at the head of Israel when they went out or came in: and the Lord said to you, You are to be the keeper of my people Israel and their ruler.

bbe@2Samuel:5:3 @So all the responsible men of Israel came to the king at Hebron; and King David made an agreement with them in Hebron before the Lord: and they put the holy oil on David and made him king over Israel.

bbe@2Samuel:5:6 @And the king and his men went to Jerusalem against the Jebusites, the people of the land: and they said to David, You will not come in here, but the blind and the feeble-footed will keep you out; for they said, David will not be able to come in here.

bbe@2Samuel:5:8 @And that day David said, Whoever makes an attack on the Jebusites, let him go up by the water-pipe, and put to death all the blind and feeble-footed who are hated by David. And this is why they say, The blind and feeble-footed may not come into the house.

bbe@2Samuel:5:9 @So David took the strong tower for his living-place, naming it the town of David. And David took in hand the building of the town all round, starting from the Millo.

bbe@2Samuel:5:10 @And David became greater and greater; for the Lord, the God of armies, was with him.

bbe@2Samuel:5:11 @And Hiram, king of Tyre, sent men to David, with cedar-trees and woodworkers and stoneworkers: and they made David a house.

bbe@2Samuel:5:12 @And David saw that the Lord had made his position safe as king over Israel, and that he had made his kingdom great because of his people Israel

bbe@2Samuel:5:17 @And when the Philistines had news that David had been made king over Israel, they all went up in search of David; and David, hearing of it, went down to the strong place.

bbe@2Samuel:5:21 @And the Philistines, when they went in flight, did not take their images with them, and David and his men took them away.

bbe@2Samuel:5:23 @And when David went for directions to the Lord, he said, You are not to go up against them in front; but make a circle round them from the back and come on them opposite the spice-trees.

bbe@2Samuel:6:2 @And David, and all the people who were with him, went to Baal of Judah to get the ark of God, over which the holy name is named, the name of the Lord of armies, whose place is between the winged ones.

bbe@2Samuel:6:3 @And they put the ark of God on a new cart and took it out of the house of Abinadab which was on the hill: and Uzzah and Ahio, the sons of Abinadab, were the drivers of the cart.

bbe@2Samuel:6:4 @And Uzzah went by the side of the ark, while Ahio went before it.

bbe@2Samuel:6:5 @And David and all the men of Israel made melody before the Lord with all their power, with songs and with corded instruments and instruments of brass.

bbe@2Samuel:6:6 @And when they came to Nacon's grain-floor, Uzzah put his hand on the ark of God to keep it safe in its place, for the oxen were out of control.

bbe@2Samuel:6:8 @And David was angry because of the Lord's outburst of wrath against Uzzah: and he gave that place the name Perez-uzzah, which is its name to this day.

bbe@2Samuel:6:10 @So David did not let the ark of the Lord come back to him to the town of David: but had it turned away and put into the house of Obed-edom the Gittite.

bbe@2Samuel:6:11 @And the ark of the Lord was in the house of Obed-edom the Gittite for three months: and the Lord sent a blessing on Obed-edom and all his family.

bbe@2Samuel:6:12 @And they said to King David, The blessing of the Lord is on the family of Obed-edom and on all he has, because of the ark of God. And David went and took the ark of God from the house of Obed-edom into the town of David with joy.

bbe@2Samuel:6:14 @And David, clothed in a linen ephod, was dancing before the Lord with all his strength

bbe@2Samuel:6:15 @So David and all the men of Israel took up the ark of the Lord with cries of joy and sounding of horns.

bbe@2Samuel:6:17 @And they took in the ark of the Lord, and put it in its place inside the tent which David had put up for it: and David made burned offerings and peace-offerings to the Lord.

bbe@2Samuel:6:20 @Then David came back to give a blessing to his family. And Michal, Saul's daughter, came out to him and said, How full of glory was the king of Israel today, who let himself be seen uncovered by his servant-girls like a foolish person uncovering himself without shame!

bbe@2Samuel:7:3 @And Nathan said to the king, Go and do whatever is in your heart; for the Lord is with you.

bbe@2Samuel:7:7 @In all the places where I went with all the children of Israel, did I ever say to any of the judges of Israel, to whom I gave the care of my people Israel, Why have you not made me a house of cedar?

bbe@2Samuel:7:9 @And I have been with you wherever you went, cutting off before you all those who were against you; and I will make your name great, like the name of the greatest ones of the earth.

bbe@2Samuel:7:12 @And when the time comes for you to go to rest with your fathers, I will put in your place your seed after you, the offspring of your body, and I will make his kingdom strong.

bbe@2Samuel:7:13 @He will be the builder of a house for my name, and I will make the seat of his authority certain for ever.

bbe@2Samuel:7:14 @I will be to him a father and he will be to me a son: if he does wrong, I will give him punishment with the rod of men and with the blows of the children of men;

bbe@2Samuel:7:15 @But my mercy will not be taken away from him, as I took it from him who was before you.

bbe@2Samuel:7:16 @And your family and your kingdom will keep their place before me for ever: the seat of your authority will never be overturned

bbe@2Samuel:7:21 @Because of your word and from your heart, you have done all this great work, and let your servant see it.

bbe@2Samuel:7:23 @And what other nation in the earth, like your people Israel, did a god go out to take for himself, to be his people, and to make a name for himself, and to do great and strange things for them, driving out a nation and its gods from before his people?

bbe@2Samuel:7:27 @For you, O Lord of armies, the God of Israel, have clearly said to your servant, I will make you the head of a family of kings: and so it has come into your servant's heart to make this prayer to you.

bbe@2Samuel:7:29 @So may it be your pleasure to give your blessing to the family of your servant, so that it may go on for ever before you: (for you, O Lord God, have said it,) and may your blessing be on your servant's family line for ever!

bbe@2Samuel:8:1 @And it came about after this that David made an attack on the Philistines and overcame them; and David took the authority of the mother-town from the hands of the Philistines.

bbe@2Samuel:8:2 @And he overcame the Moabites, and he had them measured with a line when they were stretched out on the earth; marking out two lines for death and one full line for life. So the Moabites became servants to David and gave him offerings.

bbe@2Samuel:8:10 @He sent his son Hadoram to David, with words of peace and blessing, because he had overcome Hadadezer in the fight, for Hadadezer had wars with Tou; and Hadoram took with him vessels of silver and gold and brass:

bbe@2Samuel:8:11 @These King David made holy to the Lord, together with the silver and gold which he had taken from the nations he had overcome--

bbe@2Samuel:8:12 @The nations of Edom and Moab, and the children of Ammon and the Philistines and the Amalekites and the goods he had taken from Hadadezer, the son of Rehob, king of Zobah.

bbe@2Samuel:8:14 @And he put armed forces in Edom; all through Edom he had armed forces stationed, and all the Edomites became servants to David. And the Lord made David overcome wherever he went.

bbe@2Samuel:8:17 @And Zadok and Abiathar, the son of Ahimelech, the son of Ahitub, were priests; and Seraiah was the scribe;

bbe@2Samuel:8:18 @And Benaiah, the son of Jehoiada, was over the Cherethites and the Pelethites; and David's sons were priests

bbe@2Samuel:9:10 @And you and your sons and your servants are to take care of the land for him, and get in the fruit of it, so that your master's son may have food: but Mephibosheth, your master's son, will have a place at my table at all times. Now Ziba had fifteen sons and twenty servants.

bbe@2Samuel:10:3 @But the chiefs of the children of Ammon said to Hanun their lord, Does it seem to you that David is honouring your father by sending comforters to you? has he not sent his servants to go through the town and make secret observation of it, and overcome it?

bbe@2Samuel:10:5 @When David had news of it, he sent men out with the purpose of meeting them on their way, for the men were greatly shamed: and the king said, Go to Jericho till your hair is long again, and then come back.

bbe@2Samuel:10:8 @And the children of Ammon came out and put their forces in position at the way into the town: and the Aramaeans of Zobah and of Rehob, with the men of Tob and Maacah, were by themselves in the field.

bbe@2Samuel:10:9 @Now when Joab saw that their forces were in position against him in front and at his back, he took the best of the men of Israel and put them in line against the Aramaeans;

bbe@2Samuel:10:10 @And the rest of the people he put in position against the children of Ammon, with Abishai, his brother, at their head.

bbe@2Samuel:10:13 @Then Joab and the people with him went forward to the fight against the Aramaeans, and they went in flight before him.

bbe@2Samuel:10:16 @And Hadadezer sent for the Aramaeans who were on the other side of the River: and they came to Helam, with Shobach, the captain of Hadadezer's army, at their head.

bbe@2Samuel:10:17 @And word of this was given to David: and he got all Israel together and went over Jordan and came to Helam. And the Aramaeans put their forces in position against David, and made an attack on him.

bbe@2Samuel:10:19 @And when all the kings who were servants of Hadadezer saw that they were overcome by Israel, they made peace with Israel and became their servants. So the Aramaeans, in fear, gave no more help to the children of Ammon.

bbe@2Samuel:11:1 @Now in the spring, at the time when kings go out to war, David sent Joab and his servants and all Israel with him; and they made waste the land of the children of Ammon, and took up their position before Rabbah, shutting it in. But David was still at Jerusalem.

bbe@2Samuel:11:3 @And David sent to get knowledge who the woman was. And one said, Is this not Bath-sheba, the daughter of Eliam and wife of Uriah the Hittite?

bbe@2Samuel:11:5 @And the woman became with child; and she sent word to David that she was with child.

bbe@2Samuel:11:6 @And David sent to Joab saying, Send Uriah the Hittite to me. And Joab sent Uriah to David.

bbe@2Samuel:11:9 @But Uriah took his rest at the door of the king's house, with all the servants of his lord, and did not go down to his house.

bbe@2Samuel:11:11 @And Uriah said to David, Israel and Judah with the ark are living in tents, and my lord Joab and the other servants of my lord are sleeping in the open field; and am I to go to my house and take food and drink, and go to bed with my wife? By the living Lord, and by the life of your soul, I will not do such a thing

bbe@2Samuel:11:13 @And when David sent for him, he took meat and drink with him, and David made him the worse for drink: and when evening came, he went to rest on his bed with the servants of his lord, but he did not go down to his house.

bbe@2Samuel:11:16 @So while Joab was watching the town, he put Uriah in the place where it was clear to him the best fighters were.

bbe@2Samuel:11:17 @And the men of the town went out and had a fight with Joab: and a number of David's men came to their death in the fight, and with them Uriah the Hittite.

bbe@2Samuel:11:20 @If the king is angry and says, Why did you go so near the town for the fight? was it not certain that their archers would be on the wall?

bbe@2Samuel:11:21 @Who put Abimelech, the son of Jerubbaal, to death? did not a woman send a great stone down on him from the wall, putting him to death at Thebez? why did you go so near the wall? Then say to him, Your servant Uriah the Hittite is among the dead.

bbe@2Samuel:11:22 @So the man went, and came to David, and gave him all the news which Joab had sent him to give; then David was angry with Joab and said, Why did you go so near the town for the fight? was it not certain that their archers would be on the wall? who put Abimelech, the son of Jerubbaal, to death? did not a woman send a great stone down on him from the wall, putting him to death at Thebez? why did you go so near the wall?

bbe@2Samuel:11:24 @And the archers sent their arrows at your servants from the wall, and some of the king's servants are dead, and among them is your servant Uriah the Hittite.

bbe@2Samuel:11:25 @Then David said to the man, Go and say to Joab, Do not let this be a grief to you; for one man may come to his death by the sword like another: put up an even stronger fight against the town, and take it: and do you put heart into him.

bbe@2Samuel:11:27 @And when the days of weeping were past, David sent for her, and took her into his house, and she became his wife and gave him a son. But the Lord was not pleased with the thing David had done.

bbe@2Samuel:12:3 @But the poor man had only one little she-lamb, which he had got and taken care of: from its birth it had been with him like one of his children; his meat was its food, and from his cup it took its drink, resting in his arms, and it was like a daughter to him.

bbe@2Samuel:12:4 @Now a traveller came to the house of the man of wealth, but he would not take anything from his flock or his herd to make a meal for the traveller who had come to him, but he took the poor man's lamb and made it ready for the man who had come.

bbe@2Samuel:12:6 @And he will have to give back four times the value of the lamb, because he has done this and because he had no pity.

bbe@2Samuel:12:9 @Why then have you had no respect for the word of the Lord, doing what is evil in his eyes? You have put Uriah the Hittite to death with the sword, and have taken his wife to be your wife; you have put him to death with the sword of the children of Ammon.

bbe@2Samuel:12:10 @So now the sword will never be turned away from your family; because you have had no respect for me, and have taken the wife of Uriah the Hittite to be your wife.

bbe@2Samuel:12:12 @You did it secretly; but I will do this thing before all Israel and in the light of the sun.

bbe@2Samuel:12:15 @Then Nathan went back to his house. And the hand of the Lord was on David's son, the child of Uriah's wife, and it became very ill.

bbe@2Samuel:12:17 @And the chief men of his house got up and went to his side to make him get up from the earth, but he would not; and he would not take food with them.

bbe@2Samuel:12:20 @Then David got up from the earth, and after washing and rubbing himself with oil and changing his clothing, he went into the house of the Lord and gave worship: then he went back to his house, and at his order they put food before him and he had a meal.

bbe@2Samuel:12:21 @Then his servants said to him, Why have you been acting in this way? you were weeping and going without food while the child was still living; but when the child was dead, you got up and had a meal.

bbe@2Samuel:12:22 @And he said, While the child was still living I went without food and gave myself up to weeping: for I said, Who is able to say that the Lord will not have mercy on me and give the child life?

bbe@2Samuel:12:23 @But now that the child is dead there is no reason for me to go without food; am I able to make him come back to life? I will go to him, but he will never come back to me.

bbe@2Samuel:12:24 @And David gave comfort to his wife Bath-sheba, and he went in to her and had connection with her: and she had a son to whom she gave the name Solomon. And he was dear to the Lord.

bbe@2Samuel:12:28 @So now, get the rest of the people together, and put them in position against the town and take it, for if I take it, it will be named after my name.

bbe@2Samuel:12:29 @Then David got all the people together and went to Rabbah and made war on it and took it.

bbe@2Samuel:12:30 @And he took the crown of Milcom from his head; the weight of it was a talent of gold, and in it were stones of great price; and it was put on David's head. And he took a great store of goods from the town.

bbe@2Samuel:12:31 @And he took the people out of the town and put them to work with wood-cutting instruments, and iron grain-crushers, and iron axes, and at brick-making: this he did to all the towns of the children of Ammon. Then David and all the people went back to Jerusalem.

bbe@2Samuel:13:1 @Now after this, it came about that Absalom, David's son, had a beautiful sister, whose name was Tamar; and David's son Amnon was in love with her.

bbe@2Samuel:13:2 @And he was so deeply in love that he became ill because of his sister Tamar; for she was a virgin, and so it seemed hard to Amnon to do anything to her.

bbe@2Samuel:13:4 @And he said to him, O son of the king, why are you getting thinner day by day? will you not say what your trouble is? And Amnon said to him, I am in love with Tamar, my brother Absalom's sister.

bbe@2Samuel:13:5 @Then Jonadab said to him, Go to your bed, and let it seem that you are ill: and when your father comes to see you, say to him, Let my sister Tamar come and give me bread, and get the food ready before my eyes, so that I may see it and take it from her hand.

bbe@2Samuel:13:10 @Then Amnon said to Tamar, Take the food and come into my bedroom, so that I may take it from your hand. So Tamar took the cakes she had made and went with them into her brother Amnon's bedroom.

bbe@2Samuel:13:12 @And answering him, she said, O my brother, do not put shame on me; it is not right for such a thing to be done in Israel: do not this evil thing.

bbe@2Samuel:13:13 @What will become of me in my shame? and as for you, you will be looked down on with disgust by all Israel. Now then, go and make your request to the king, for he will not keep me from you.

bbe@2Samuel:13:14 @But he would not give attention to what she said: but being stronger than she, he took her by force, and had connection with her.

bbe@2Samuel:13:15 @Then Amnon was full of hate for her, hating her with a hate greater than his earlier love for her

bbe@2Samuel:13:17 @Then he gave a cry to the servant who was waiting on him and said, Put this woman out, and let the door be locked after her.

bbe@2Samuel:13:20 @And her brother Absalom said to her, Has your brother Amnon been with you? but now, let there be an end to your crying, my sister: he is your brother, do not take this thing to heart. So Tamar went on living uncomforted in her brother's house.

bbe@2Samuel:13:26 @Then Absalom said, If you will not go, then let my brother Amnon go with us. And the king said to him, Is there any reason for him to go with you?

bbe@2Samuel:13:27 @But Absalom went on requesting him till he let Amnon and all the king's sons go with him. And Absalom made a great feast like a feast for a king.

bbe@2Samuel:13:28 @Now Absalom had given orders to his servants, saying, Now take note when Amnon's heart is glad with wine; and when I say to you, Make an attack on Amnon, then put him to death without fear: have I not given you orders? be strong and without fear.

bbe@2Samuel:13:31 @Then the king got up in great grief, stretching himself out on the earth: and all his servants were by his side, with their clothing parted.

bbe@2Samuel:13:33 @So now, let not my lord the king take this thing to heart, with the idea that all the king's sons are dead: for only Amnon is dead.

bbe@2Samuel:13:35 @And Jonadab said to the king, See, the king's sons are coming; as your servant said, so it is.

bbe@2Samuel:13:36 @And while he was talking, the king's sons came, with weeping and loud cries: and the king and all his servants were weeping bitterly.

bbe@2Samuel:13:39 @And the heart of David was wasted with desire for Absalom: for he was comforted for the death of Amnon.

bbe@2Samuel:14:1 @Now it was clear to Joab, the son of Zeruiah, that the king's heart was turning to Absalom.

bbe@2Samuel:14:6 @And I had two sons, and the two of them had a fight in the field, and there was no one to come between them, and one with a blow put the other to death.

bbe@2Samuel:14:7 @And now all the family is turned against me, your servant, saying, Give up him who was the cause of his brother's death, so that we may put him to death in payment for the life of his brother, whose life he took; and we will put an end to the one who will get the heritage: so they will put out my last burning coal, and my husband will have no name or offspring on the face of the earth.

bbe@2Samuel:14:14 @For death comes to us all, and we are like water drained out on the earth, which it is not possible to take up again; and God will not take away the life of the man whose purpose is that he who has been sent away may not be completely cut off from him.

bbe@2Samuel:14:15 @And now it is my fear of the people which has made me come to say these words to my lord the king: and your servant said, I will put my cause before the king, and it may be that he will give effect to my request.

bbe@2Samuel:14:16 @For the king will give ear, and take his servant out of the power of the man whose purpose is the destruction of me and my son together from the heritage of God.

bbe@2Samuel:14:17 @Then your servant said, May the word of my lord the king give me peace! for my lord the king is as the angel of God in his hearing of good and bad: and may the Lord your God be with you!

bbe@2Samuel:14:19 @And the king said, Is not the hand of Joab with you in all this? And the woman in answer said, By the life of your soul, my lord the king, it is not possible for anyone to go to the right hand or to the left from anything said by the king: your servant Joab gave me orders, and put all these words in my mouth:

bbe@2Samuel:14:20 @This he did, hoping that the face of this business might be changed: and my lord is wise, with the wisdom of the angel of God, having knowledge of everything on earth.

bbe@2Samuel:14:21 @And the king said to Joab, See now, I will do this thing: go then and Come back with the young man Absalom.

bbe@2Samuel:14:22 @Then Joab, falling down on his face on the earth, gave the king honour and blessing; and Joab said, Today it is clear to your servant that I have grace in your eyes, my lord king, because the king has given effect to the request of his servant.

bbe@2Samuel:14:23 @So Joab got up and went to Geshur and came back again to Jerusalem with Absalom.

bbe@2Samuel:14:28 @For two full years Absalom was living in Jerusalem without ever seeing the face of the king.

bbe@2Samuel:14:30 @So he said to his servants, See, Joab's field is near mine, and he has barley in it; go and put it on fire. And Absalom's servants put the field on fire.

bbe@2Samuel:14:32 @And Absalom's answer was, See, I sent to you saying, Come here, so that I may send you to the king to say, Why have I come back from Geshur? it would be better for me to be there still: let me now see the king's face, and if there is any sin in me, let him put me to death.

bbe@2Samuel:15:11 @And with Absalom, at his request, went two hundred men from Jerusalem, who were completely unconscious of his designs.

bbe@2Samuel:15:12 @And Absalom sent for Ahithophel the Gilonite, one of David's helpers, from Giloh his town, while he was making the offerings. And the design against David became strong, for more and more people were joined to Absalom.

bbe@2Samuel:15:14 @And David said to all his servants who were with him at Jerusalem, Come, let us go in flight, or not one of us will be safe from Absalom: let us go without loss of time, or he will overtake us quickly and send evil on us, and put the town to the sword.

bbe@2Samuel:15:16 @So the king went out, taking with him all the people of his house, but for ten of his women, who were to take care of the house.

bbe@2Samuel:15:18 @And all the people went on by his side; and all the Cherethites and all the Pelethites and all the men of Ittai of Gath, six hundred men who came after him from Gath, went on before the king.

bbe@2Samuel:15:19 @Then the king said to Ittai the Gittite, Why are you coming with us? go back and keep with the king: for you are a man of another country, you are far from the land of your birth

bbe@2Samuel:15:20 @It was only yesterday you came to us; why then am I to make you go up and down with us? for I have to go where I may; go back then, and take your countrymen with you, and may the Lord's mercy and good faith be with you.

bbe@2Samuel:15:21 @And Ittai the Gittite in answer said, By the living Lord, and by the life of my lord the king, in whatever place my lord the king may be, for life or death, there will your servant be.

bbe@2Samuel:15:22 @And David said to Ittai, Go forward, then. And Ittai the Gittite went on, with all his men and all the little ones he had with him.

bbe@2Samuel:15:23 @And there was great weeping in all the country when all the people went through; and the king himself was waiting in the Kidron valley and all the people went by him in the direction of the olive-tree on the edge of the waste land.

bbe@2Samuel:15:24 @Then Zadok came, and Abiathar, and with them the ark of God's agreement: and they put down the ark of God, till all the people from the town had gone by.

bbe@2Samuel:15:25 @And the king said to Zadok, Take the ark of God back into the town: if I have grace in the eyes of the Lord, he will let me come back and see it and his House again:

bbe@2Samuel:15:27 @The king said further to Zadok the priest, See, you and Abiathar are to go back to the town in peace, with your two sons, Ahimaaz, your son, and Jonathan, the son of Abiathar.

bbe@2Samuel:15:28 @See, I will be waiting at the way across the river, in the waste land, till I get news from you.

bbe@2Samuel:15:30 @And David went up the slopes of the Mount of Olives weeping all the way, with his head covered and no shoes on his feet: and all the people who were with him, covering their heads, went up weeping.

bbe@2Samuel:15:31 @And word came to David, saying, Ahithophel is among those who are joined to Absalom. And David said, O Lord, let the wisdom of Ahithophel be made foolish.

bbe@2Samuel:15:32 @Now when David had come to the top of the slope, where they gave worship to God, Hushai the Archite came to him in great grief with dust on his head:

bbe@2Samuel:15:33 @David said to him, If you go on with me, you will be a trouble to me:

bbe@2Samuel:15:34 @But if you go back to the town and say to Absalom, I will be your servant, O king; as in the past I have been your father's servant, so now I will be yours: then you will be able to keep Ahithophel's designs against me from being put into effect.

bbe@2Samuel:15:35 @And have you not there Zadok and Abiathar the priests? so whatever comes to your ears from the king's house, give word of it to Zadok and Abiathar the priests.

bbe@2Samuel:15:36 @See, they have with them their two sons, Ahimaaz, Zadok's son, and Jonathan, the son of Abiathar; by them you may send word to me of everything which comes to your ears.

bbe@2Samuel:16:1 @And when David had gone a little way past the top of the slope, Ziba, the servant of Mephibosheth, came to him, with two asses on which were two hundred cakes of bread and a hundred stems of dry grapes and a hundred summer fruits and a skin of wine.

bbe@2Samuel:16:2 @And David said to Ziba, What is your reason for this? And Ziba said, The asses are for the use of the king's people, and the bread and the fruit are food for the young men; and the wine is for drink for those who are overcome by weariness in the waste land.

bbe@2Samuel:16:7 @And Shimei said, with curses, Be gone, be gone, you man of blood, you good-for-nothing:

bbe@2Samuel:16:10 @And the king said, What have I to do with you, you sons of Zeruiah? Let him go on cursing, for the Lord has said, Put a curse on David, and who then may say, Why have you done so?

bbe@2Samuel:16:11 @And David said to Abishai and to all his servants, You see how my son, the offspring of my body, has made designs against my life: how much more then may this Benjamite do so? Let him be, and let him go on cursing; for the Lord has given him orders.

bbe@2Samuel:16:12 @It may be that the Lord will take note of my wrongs, and give me back good in answer to his cursing of me today.

bbe@2Samuel:16:13 @So David and his men went on their way: and Shimei went by the hillside parallel with them, cursing and sending stones and dust at him.

bbe@2Samuel:16:15 @And Absalom and the men of Israel came to Jerusalem, and Ahithophel was with him.

bbe@2Samuel:16:16 @Then Hushai the Archite, David's friend, came to Absalom and said, Long life to the king, long life to the king!

bbe@2Samuel:16:17 @And Absalom said, Is this your love for your friend? why did you not go with your friend?

bbe@2Samuel:16:18 @And Hushai said to Absalom, Not so; I am for that man whom the Lord and this people and all the men of Israel have taken as king, and I will take my place with him.

bbe@2Samuel:16:19 @And more than this! where is my place as a servant? is it not before his son? as I have been your father's servant, so will I be yours.

bbe@2Samuel:16:20 @Then Absalom said to Ahithophel, Give your opinion now, what are we to do?

bbe@2Samuel:16:21 @And Ahithophel said to Absalom, Go in to your father's women who are here looking after his house; then all Israel will have the news that you are hated by your father, and the hands of your supporters will be strong

bbe@2Samuel:16:23 @In those days the opinions of Ahithophel were valued as highly as if through him a man might get direction from God; so were they valued by David as much as by Absalom.

bbe@2Samuel:17:1 @Then Ahithophel said to Absalom, Let me take out twelve thousand men and this very night I will go after David:

bbe@2Samuel:17:2 @And I will come up with him when he is tired and feeble, and make him full of fear: and all the people with him will go in flight; and I will make an attack on the king only:

bbe@2Samuel:17:3 @And I will make all the people come back to you as a bride comes back to her husband: it is the life of only one man you are going after; so all the people will be at peace.

bbe@2Samuel:17:5 @Then Absalom said, Now send for Hushai the Archite, and let us give ear to what he has to say.

bbe@2Samuel:17:6 @And when Hushai came, Absalom said to him, This is what Ahithophel has said: are we to do as he says? if not, what is your suggestion?

bbe@2Samuel:17:7 @And Hushai said to Absalom, Ahithophel's idea is not a good one at this time.

bbe@2Samuel:17:8 @Hushai said further, You have knowledge of your father and his men, that they are men of war, and that their feelings are bitter, like those of a bear in the field whose young ones have been taken from her: and your father is a man of war, and will not take his night's rest with the people;

bbe@2Samuel:17:9 @But he will certainly have taken cover now in some hole or secret place; and if some of our people, at the first attack, are overcome, then any hearing of it will say, There is destruction among the people who are on Absalom's side.

bbe@2Samuel:17:10 @Then even the strongest, whose heart is like the heart of a lion, will become like water; for all Israel is conscious that your father is a man of war, and those who are with him are strong and without fear.

bbe@2Samuel:17:12 @Then we will come on him in some place, wherever he may be, falling on him as the dew comes on the earth: and of him and all the men who are with him not one will get away with his life.

bbe@2Samuel:17:13 @And if he has gone into some town, then let all Israel take strong cords to that town, and we will have it pulled into the valley, till not one small stone is to be seen there.

bbe@2Samuel:17:14 @Then Absalom and all the men of Israel said, Hushai's suggestion is better than that of Ahithophel. For it was the purpose of the Lord to make the wise designs of Ahithophel without effect, so that the Lord might send evil on Absalom.

bbe@2Samuel:17:15 @Then Hushai said to Zadok and Abiathar, the priests, This is the suggestion made by Ahithophel to Absalom and the responsible men of Israel, and this is what I said to them.

bbe@2Samuel:17:16 @So now send the news quickly to David, and say, Do not take your night's rest by the way across the river to the waste land, but be certain to go over; or the king and all the people with him will come to destruction.

bbe@2Samuel:17:17 @Now Jonathan and Ahimaaz were waiting by En-rogel; and a servant-girl went from time to time and gave them news and they went with the news to King David, for it was not wise for them to let themselves be seen coming into the town.

bbe@2Samuel:17:18 @But a boy saw them, and gave word of it to Absalom: so the two of them went away quickly, and came to the house of a man in Bahurim who had a water-hole in his garden, and they went down into it.

bbe@2Samuel:17:19 @And a woman put a cover over the hole, and put crushed grain on top of it, and no one had any knowledge of it.

bbe@2Samuel:17:21 @Then after the servants had gone away, they came up out of the water-hole and went to give King David the news; and they said, Get up and go quickly over the water, for such and such are Ahithophel's designs against you.

bbe@2Samuel:17:22 @So David and all the people who were with him went up over Jordan: when dawn came, every one of them had gone over Jordan.

bbe@2Samuel:17:23 @Now when Ahithophel saw that his suggestion was not acted on, he got his ass ready, and went back to his house, to the town where he came from, and having put his house in order, he put himself to death by hanging; so he came to his end and was put in the resting-place of his father

bbe@2Samuel:17:24 @And David came to Mahanaim. And Absalom, with all the men of Israel, went over Jordan.

bbe@2Samuel:17:25 @And Absalom put Amasa at the head of the army in place of Joab. Now Amasa was the son of a man named Ithra the Ishmaelite, who had been the lover of Abigail, the daughter of Jesse, sister of Zeruiah, Joab's mother.

bbe@2Samuel:17:27 @Now when David had come to Mahanaim, Shobi, the son of Nahash of Rabbah, the Ammonite, and Machir, the son of Ammiel of Lo-debar, and Barzillai the Gileadite of Rogelim,

bbe@2Samuel:17:28 @Came with beds and basins and pots, and grain and meal, and all sorts of dry foods,

bbe@2Samuel:18:1 @And David had the people who were with him numbered, and he put over them captains of thousands and captains of hundreds.

bbe@2Samuel:18:2 @And David sent the people out, a third of them under the orders of Joab, and a third under the orders of Abishai, son of Zeruiah, Joab's brother, and a third under Ittai the Gittite. And the king said to the people, And I myself will certainly go out with you.

bbe@2Samuel:18:3 @But the people said, It is better for you not to go out: for if we are put to flight, they will not give a thought to us, and if death overtakes half of us, it will be nothing to them: but you are of more value than ten thousand of us: so it is better for you to be ready to come to our help from this town.

bbe@2Samuel:18:5 @And the king gave orders to Joab and Abishai and Ittai, saying, Because of me, be gentle to the young man Absalom. And this order about Absalom was given in the hearing of all the people.

bbe@2Samuel:18:10 @And a certain man saw it and said to Joab, I saw Absalom hanging in a tree

bbe@2Samuel:18:11 @And Joab said to the man who had given him the news, If you saw this, why did you not put your sword through him, and I would have given you ten bits of silver and a band for your robe?

bbe@2Samuel:18:12 @And the man said to Joab, Even if you gave me a thousand bits of silver, I would not put out my hand against the king's son: for in our hearing the king gave orders to you and Abishai and Ittai, saying, Take care that the young man Absalom is not touched.

bbe@2Samuel:18:13 @And if I had falsely put him to death (and nothing may be kept secret from the king), you would have had nothing to do with me.

bbe@2Samuel:18:14 @Then Joab said, I would have made it safe for you. And he took three spears in his hand, and put them through Absalom's heart, while he was still living, in the branches of the tree.

bbe@2Samuel:18:17 @And they took Absalom's body and put it into a great hole in the wood, and put a great mass of stones over it: and every man of Israel went in flight to his tent.

bbe@2Samuel:18:18 @Now Absalom, before his death, had put up for himself a pillar in the king's valley, naming it after himself; for he said, I have no son to keep my name in memory: and to this day it is named Absalom's pillar.

bbe@2Samuel:18:21 @Then Joab said to the Cushite, Go and give the king word of what you have seen. And the Cushite, making a sign of respect to Joab, went off running.

bbe@2Samuel:18:22 @Then Ahimaaz, the son of Zadok, said to Joab again, Whatever may come of it, let me go after the Cushite. And Joab said, Why have you a desire to go, my son, seeing that you will get no reward for your news?

bbe@2Samuel:18:23 @Whatever may come of it, he said, I will go. Then he said to him, Go. So Ahimaaz went running by the lowland road and overtook the Cushite.

bbe@2Samuel:18:25 @And the watchman gave news of it to the king. And the king said, If he is coming by himself, then he has news. And the man was travelling quickly, and came near.

bbe@2Samuel:18:26 @Then the watchman saw another man running: and crying out in the direction of the door he said, Here is another man running by himself. And the king said, He, like the other, comes with news.

bbe@2Samuel:18:27 @And the watchman said, It seems to me that the running of the first is like the running of Ahimaaz, the son of Zadok. And the king said, He is a good man, and his news will be good.

bbe@2Samuel:18:28 @And Ahimaaz, crying out to the king, said, It is well. And falling down before the king, with his face to the earth, he said, May the Lord your God be praised, who has given up the men who took up arms against my lord the king!

bbe@2Samuel:18:29 @And the king said, Is it well with the young man Absalom? And Ahimaaz said in answer, When Joab sent me, your servant, I saw a great outcry going on, but I had no knowledge of what it was.

bbe@2Samuel:18:31 @And then the Cushite came and said, I have news for my lord the king: today the Lord has done right in your cause against all those who took up arms against you.

bbe@2Samuel:18:32 @And the king said to the Cushite, Is the young man Absalom safe? And the Cushite said in answer, May all the king's haters and those who do evil against the king, be as that young man is!

bbe@2Samuel:19:2 @And the salvation of that day was changed to sorrow for all the people: for it was said to the people, The king is in bitter grief for his son.

bbe@2Samuel:19:6 @For your haters, it seems, are dear to you, and your friends are hated. For you have made it clear that captains and servants are nothing to you: and now I see that if Absalom was living and we had all been dead today, it would have been right in your eyes.

bbe@2Samuel:19:7 @So get up now, and go out and say some kind words to your servants; for, by the Lord, I give you my oath, that if you do not go out, not one of them will keep with you tonight; and that will be worse for you than all the evil which has overtaken you from your earliest years.

bbe@2Samuel:19:14 @And the hearts of the men of Judah were moved like one man; so that they sent to the king, saying, Come back, with all your servants.

bbe@2Samuel:19:15 @So the king came back, and came as far as Jordan. And Judah came to Gilgal, meeting the king there, to take him back with them over Jordan.

bbe@2Samuel:19:16 @And Shimei, the son of Gera, the Benjamite from Bahurim, got up quickly and went down with the men of Judah for the purpose of meeting King David;

bbe@2Samuel:19:17 @And with him a thousand men of Benjamin, and Ziba, the servant of Saul, with his fifteen sons and twenty servants, came rushing to Jordan before the king,

bbe@2Samuel:19:19 @And said to him, Let me not be judged as a sinner in your eyes, O my lord, and do not keep in mind the wrong I did on the day when my lord the king went out of Jerusalem, or take it to heart.

bbe@2Samuel:19:22 @And David said, What have I to do with you, you sons of Zeruiah, that you put yourselves against me today? is it right for any man in Israel to be put to death today? for I am certain today that I am king in Israel.

bbe@2Samuel:19:25 @Now when he had come from Jerusalem to see the king, the king said to him, Why did you not come with me, Mephibosheth?

bbe@2Samuel:19:26 @And he said in answer, Because of the deceit of my servant, my lord king: for I, your servant, said to him, You are to make ready an ass and on it I will go with the king, for your servant has not the use of his feet.

bbe@2Samuel:19:30 @And Mephibosheth said, Let him take it all, now that my lord the king has come back to his house in peace!

bbe@2Samuel:19:31 @And Barzillai the Gileadite came down from Rogelim; and he went on as far as Jordan with the king to take him across Jordan.

bbe@2Samuel:19:33 @And the king said to Barzillai, Come over with me, and I will take care of you in Jerusalem.

bbe@2Samuel:19:34 @And Barzillai said to the king, How much of my life is still before me, for me to go up to Jerusalem with the king?

bbe@2Samuel:19:37 @Let your servant now go back again, so that when death comes to me, it may be in my town and by the resting-place of my father and mother. But here is your servant Chimham: let him go with my lord the king, and do for him what seems good to you.

bbe@2Samuel:19:38 @And the king said in answer, Let Chimham go over with me, and I will do for him whatever seems good to you: and whatever your desire is, I will do it for you.

bbe@2Samuel:19:39 @Then all the people went over Jordan, and the king went over: and the king gave Barzillai a kiss, with his blessing; and he went back to his place.

bbe@2Samuel:19:40 @So the king went over to Gilgal, and Chimham went with him: and all the people of Judah, as well as half the people of Israel, took the king on his way.

bbe@2Samuel:19:41 @Then the men of Israel came to the king and said, Why have our countrymen of Judah taken you away in secret and come over Jordan with the king and all his family, because all his people are David's men?

bbe@2Samuel:20:1 @Now by chance there was present a good-for-nothing person named Sheba, the son of Bichri, a Benjamite: and he, sounding the horn, said, We have no part in David, or any interest in the son of Jesse: let every man go to his tent, O Israel.

bbe@2Samuel:20:2 @So all the men of Israel, turning away from David, went after Sheba, the son of Bichri: but the men of Judah were true to their king, going with him from Jordan as far as Jerusalem.

bbe@2Samuel:20:7 @So there went after Abishai, Joab and the Cherethites and the Pelethites and all the fighting-men; they went out of Jerusalem to overtake Sheba, the son of Bichri.

bbe@2Samuel:20:8 @When they were at the great stone which is in Gibeon, Amasa came face to face with them. Now Joab had on his war-dress, and round him a band from which his sword was hanging in its cover; and while he was walking, it came out, falling to the earth.

bbe@2Samuel:20:9 @And Joab said to Amasa, Is it well, my brother? And with his right hand he took him by the hair of his chin to give him a kiss.

bbe@2Samuel:20:10 @But Amasa did not see danger from the sword which was now in Joab's left hand, and Joab put it through his stomach so that his inside came out on to the earth, and he did not give him another blow. So Joab and his brother Abishai went on after Sheba, the son of Bichri.

bbe@2Samuel:20:14 @And Sheba went through all the tribes of Israel, to Abel of Beth-maacah; and all the Bichrites came together and went in after him.

bbe@2Samuel:20:16 @Then a wise woman got up on the wall, and crying out from the town, said, Give ear, give ear; say now to Joab, Come near, so that I may have talk with you.

bbe@2Samuel:20:18 @Then she said, In the old days, there was a saying, Let them put the question in Abel and in Dan, saying, Has what was ordered by men of good faith in Israel ever come to an end?

bbe@2Samuel:20:19 @Your purpose is the destruction of a mother-town in Israel: why would you put an end to the heritage of the Lord?

bbe@2Samuel:20:20 @And Joab, answering her, said, Far, far be it from me to be a cause of death or destruction;

bbe@2Samuel:20:22 @Then the woman in her wisdom had talk with all the town. And they had Sheba's head cut off and sent out to Joab. And he had the horn sounded, and sent them all away from the town, every man to his tent. And Joab went back to Jerusalem to the king.

bbe@2Samuel:20:23 @Now Joab was over all the army; and Benaiah, the son of Jehoiada, was at the head of the Cherethites and the Pelethites;

bbe@2Samuel:20:26 @And in addition, Ira the Jairite was a priest to David.

bbe@2Samuel:21:1 @In the days of David they were short of food for three years, year after year; and David went before the Lord for directions. And the Lord said, On Saul and on his family there is blood, because he put the Gibeonites to death.

bbe@2Samuel:21:2 @Then the king sent for the Gibeonites; (now the Gibeonites were not of the children of Israel, but were the last of the Amorites, to whom the children of Israel had given an oath; but Saul, in his passion for the children of Israel and Judah, had made an attempt on their lives:)

bbe@2Samuel:21:3 @So David said to the Gibeonites, What may I do for you? how am I to make up to you for your wrongs, so that you may give a blessing to the heritage of the Lord?

bbe@2Samuel:21:4 @And the Gibeonites said to him, It is not a question of silver and gold between us and Saul or his family; and it is not in our power to put to death any man in Israel. And he said, Say, then, what am I to do for you?

bbe@2Samuel:21:8 @But the king took Armoni and Mephibosheth, the two sons of Saul to whom Rizpah, the daughter of Aiah, had given birth; and the five sons of Saul's daughter Merab, whose father was Adriel, the son of Barzillai the Meholathite:

bbe@2Samuel:21:9 @And he gave them up to the Gibeonites, and they put them to death, hanging them on the mountain before the Lord; all seven came to their end together in the first days of the grain-cutting, at the start of the cutting of the barley.

bbe@2Samuel:21:10 @And Rizpah, the daughter of Aiah, took haircloth, placing it on the rock as a bed for herself, from the start of the grain-cutting till rain came down on them from heaven; and she did not let the birds of the air come near them by day, or the beasts of the field by night.

bbe@2Samuel:21:14 @And they put them with the bones of Saul and his son Jonathan in the resting-place of Kish, his father, in Zela in the country of Benjamin; they did all the king had given them orders to do

bbe@2Samuel:21:15 @And the Philistines went to war again with Israel; and David went down with his people, and while they were at Gob they had a fight with the Philistines:

bbe@2Samuel:21:17 @But Abishai, the son of Zeruiah, came to his help, and, turning on the Philistine, gave him his death-blow. Then David's men took an oath, and said, Never again are you to go out with us to the fight, so that you may not put out the light of Israel.

bbe@2Samuel:21:18 @Now after this there was war with the Philistines again at Gob, and Sibbecai the Hushathite put to death Saph, one of the offspring of the Rephaim.

bbe@2Samuel:21:19 @And again there was war with the Philistines at Gob, and Elhanan, the son of Jair the Beth-lehemite, put to death Goliath the Gittite, the stem of whose spear was like a cloth-worker's rod.

bbe@2Samuel:22:3 @My God, my Rock, in him will I put my faith; my breastplate, and the horn of my salvation, my high tower, and my safe place; my saviour, who keeps me safe from the violent man.

bbe@2Samuel:22:8 @Then the earth was moved with a violent shock; the bases of heaven were moved and shaking, because he was angry.

bbe@2Samuel:22:9 @There went up a smoke from his nose, and a fire of destruction from his mouth: coals were lighted by it.

bbe@2Samuel:22:10 @The heavens were bent, so that he might come down; and it was dark under his feet.

bbe@2Samuel:22:31 @As for God, his way is all good: the word of the Lord is tested; he is a safe cover for all those who put their faith in him.

bbe@2Samuel:22:40 @For I have been armed by you with strength for the fight: you have made low under me those who came out against me.

bbe@2Samuel:22:45 @Men of other countries will, with false hearts, put themselves under my authority: from the time when my name comes to their ears, they will be ruled by me.

bbe@2Samuel:22:46 @They will be wasted away, they will come out of their secret places shaking with fear.

bbe@2Samuel:22:48 @It is God who sends punishment on my haters, and puts peoples under my rule.

bbe@2Samuel:23:2 @The spirit of the Lord had voice through me, his word was on my tongue.

bbe@2Samuel:23:4 @It is as the light of the morning, when the sun comes up, a morning without clouds; making young grass come to life from the earth.

bbe@2Samuel:23:5 @For is not my house so with God? For he has made with me an eternal agreement, ordered in all things and certain: as for all my salvation and all my desire, will he not give it increase?

bbe@2Samuel:23:7 @But anyone touching them has to be armed with iron and the rod of a spear; and they will be burned with fire, every one of them.

bbe@2Samuel:23:8 @These are the names of David's men of war: Ishbaal the Hachmonite, chief of the three; his axe was lifted up against eight hundred put to death at one time.

bbe@2Samuel:23:9 @After him was Eleazar, the son of Dodai the Ahohite, one of the three great fighters, who was with David in Pas-dammim when the Philistines came together there for the fight; and when the men of Israel had gone in flight,

bbe@2Samuel:23:10 @He was with David and went on fighting the Philistines till his hand became tired and stiff from gripping his sword: and that day the Lord gave a great salvation, and the people came back after him only to take the goods of the Philistines.

bbe@2Samuel:23:11 @After him was Shammah, the son of Ela the Hararite. And the Philistines came together in Lehi, where there was a bit of land full of seed; and the people went in flight from the Philistines.

bbe@2Samuel:23:12 @But he kept his place in the middle of the bit of land, and kept back their attack and overcame the Philistines: and the Lord gave a great salvation.

bbe@2Samuel:23:13 @And three of the thirty went down at the start of the grain-cutting, and they came to David at the strong place of Adullam; and the band of Philistines had taken up their position in the valley of Rephaim.

bbe@2Samuel:23:16 @And the three men, forcing their way through the Philistine army, got water from the water-hole of Beth-lehem, by the doorway into the town, and took it back to David: but he would not take it, but, draining it out, made an offering of it to the Lord.

bbe@2Samuel:23:17 @And he said, Far be it from me, O Lord, to do this; how may I take as my drink the life-blood of men who have put their lives in danger? So he would not take it. These things did the three great men of war.

bbe@2Samuel:23:21 @And he made an attack on an Egyptian, a tall man: and the Egyptian had a spear in his hand; but he went down to him with a stick, and pulling the spear out of the hands of the Egyptian, put him to death with that same spear.

bbe@2Samuel:23:39 @Uriah the Hittite: thirty-seven in number.

bbe@2Samuel:24:2 @And the king said to Joab and the captains of the army, who were with him, Go now through all the tribes of Israel, from Dan as far as Beer-sheba, and have all the people numbered, so that I may be certain of the number of the people.

bbe@2Samuel:24:3 @And Joab said to the king, Whatever the number of the people, may the Lord make it a hundred times as much, and may the eyes of my lord the king see it: but why does my lord the king take pleasure in doing this thing?

bbe@2Samuel:24:5 @And they went over Jordan, and starting from Aroer, from the town which is in the middle of the valley, they went in the direction of the Gadites, and on to Jazer;

bbe@2Samuel:24:6 @Then they came to Gilead, and to the land of the Hittites under Hermon; and they came to Dan, and from Dan they came round to Zidon,

bbe@2Samuel:24:7 @And to the walled town of Tyre, and to all the towns of the Hivites and the Canaanites: and they went out to the South of Judah at Beer-sheba.

bbe@2Samuel:24:12 @Go and say to David, The Lord says, Three things are offered to you: say which of them you will have, and I will do it to you.

bbe@2Samuel:24:16 @And when the hand of the angel was stretched out in the direction of Jerusalem, for its destruction, the Lord had regret for the evil, and said to the angel who was sending destruction on the people, It is enough; do no more. And the angel of the Lord was by the grain-floor of Araunah the Jebusite.

bbe@2Samuel:24:18 @And that day Gad came to David and said to him, Go up, and put up an altar to the Lord on the grain-floor of Araunah the Jebusite.

bbe@2Samuel:24:22 @And Araunah said to David, Let my lord the king take whatever seems right to him, and make an offering of it: see, here are the oxen for the burned offering, and the grain-cleaning instruments and the ox-yokes for wood:

bbe@2Samuel:24:23 @All this does the servant of my lord the king give to the king. And Araunah said, May the Lord your God be pleased with your offering!

bbe@2Samuel:24:24 @And the king said to Araunah, No, but I will give you a price for it; I will not give to the Lord my God burned offerings for which I have given nothing. So David got the grain-floor and the oxen for fifty shekels of silver.

bbe@1Kings:1:2 @So his servants said to him, Let search be made for a young virgin for my lord the king, to take care of him and be waiting on him; and you may take her in your arms, and so my lord the king will be warm.

bbe@1Kings:1:3 @So after searching through all the land of Israel for a fair young girl, they saw Abishag the Shunammite, and took her to the king.

bbe@1Kings:1:4 @Now she was very beautiful; and she took care of the king, waiting on him at all times; but the king had no connection with her.

bbe@1Kings:1:5 @Then Adonijah, the son of Haggith, lifting himself up in pride, said, I will become king; and he made ready his carriages of war and his horsemen, with fifty runners to go before him.

bbe@1Kings:1:7 @And he had talk with Joab, the son of Zeruiah, and with Abiathar the priest; and they were on his side and gave him their support.

bbe@1Kings:1:11 @Then Nathan said to Bath-sheba, the mother of Solomon, Has it not come to your ears that Adonijah, the son of Haggith, has made himself king without the knowledge of David our lord?

bbe@1Kings:1:14 @And while you are still talking there with the king, see, I will come in after you and say that your story is true.

bbe@1Kings:1:15 @Then Bath-sheba went into the king's room; now the king was very old, and Abishag the Shunammite was waiting on him.

bbe@1Kings:1:18 @And now, see, Adonijah has made himself king without my lord's knowledge;

bbe@1Kings:1:20 @And now, my lord the king, the eyes of all Israel are on you, waiting for you to say who is to take the place of my lord the king after him.

bbe@1Kings:1:21 @For as things are, it will come about, when my lord the king is sleeping with his fathers, that I and Solomon my son will be made outlaws.

bbe@1Kings:1:22 @And while she was still talking with the king, Nathan the prophet came in.

bbe@1Kings:1:25 @Because today he has gone down and has put to death oxen and fat beasts and sheep in great numbers, and has sent for all the king's sons to come to him, with the captains of the army and Abiathar the priest; and they are feasting before him and crying, Long life to King Adonijah!

bbe@1Kings:1:27 @Has this thing been done by my lord the king, without giving word to your servants who was to be placed on my lord the king's seat after him?

bbe@1Kings:1:33 @And the king said to them, Take with you the servants of your lord, and put Solomon my son on my beast, yes, mine, and take him down to Gihon;

bbe@1Kings:1:36 @And Benaiah, the son of Jehoiada, answering the king, said, So be it: and may the Lord, the God of my lord the king, say so.

bbe@1Kings:1:37 @As the Lord has been with my lord the king, even so may he be with Solomon and make the seat of his authority greater than that of my lord King David.

bbe@1Kings:1:38 @So Zadok the priest, and Nathan the prophet, and Benaiah, the son of Jehoiada, and the Cherethites and the Pelethites, went down and put Solomon on King David's beast and took him to Gihon.

bbe@1Kings:1:40 @And all the people came up after him, piping with pipes, and they were glad with great joy, so that the earth was shaking with the sound.

bbe@1Kings:1:41 @And it came to the ears of Adonijah and all the guests who were with him, when their meal was ended. And Joab, hearing the sound of the horn, said, What is the reason of this noise as if the town was worked up?

bbe@1Kings:1:42 @And while the words were on his lips, Jonathan, the son of Abiathar the priest, came; and Adonijah said, Come in; for you are a man of good faith and the news which you have for us will be good.

bbe@1Kings:1:44 @And he sent with him Zadok the priest, and Nathan the prophet, and Benaiah, the son of Jehoiada, and the Cherethites and the Pelethites; and they put him on the king's beast:

bbe@1Kings:1:45 @And Zadok the priest and Nathan the prophet put the holy oil on him and made him king in Gihon; and they came back from there with joy, and the town was all worked up. This is the noise which has come to your ears.

bbe@1Kings:1:47 @And the king's servants came to our lord King David, blessing him and saying, May God make the name of Solomon better than your name, and the seat of his authority greater than your seat; and the king was bent low in worship on his bed.

bbe@1Kings:1:48 @Then the king said, May the God of Israel be praised, who has given one of my seed to be king in my place this day and has let my eyes see it.

bbe@1Kings:1:50 @And Adonijah himself was full of fear because of Solomon; and he got up and went to the altar, and put his hands on its horns.

bbe@1Kings:1:51 @And they gave Solomon word of it, saying, See, Adonijah goes in such fear of King Solomon, that he has put his hands on the horns of the altar, saying, Let King Solomon first give me his oath that he will not put his servant to death with the sword.

bbe@1Kings:1:52 @And Solomon said, If he is seen to be a man of good faith, not a hair of him will be touched; but if any wrongdoing is seen in him, he is to be put to death.

bbe@1Kings:2:4 @So that the Lord may give effect to what he said of me, If your children give attention to their ways, living uprightly before me with all their heart and their soul, you will never be without a man to be king in Israel.

bbe@1Kings:2:5 @Now you have knowledge of what Joab, the son of Zeruiah, did to me, and to the two captains of the army of Israel, Abner, the son of Ner, and Amasa, the son of Jether, whom he put to death, taking payment for the blood of war in time of peace, and making the band of my clothing and the shoes on my feet red with the blood of one put to death without cause.

bbe@1Kings:2:6 @So be guided by your wisdom, and let not his white head go down to the underworld in peace.

bbe@1Kings:2:7 @But be good to the sons of Barzillai the Gileadite, and let them be guests at your table; for so they came to me when I went in flight from Absalom your brother.

bbe@1Kings:2:8 @Now you have with you Shimei, the son of Gera the Benjamite of Bahurim, who put a bitter curse on me on the day when I went to Mahanaim; but he came down to see me at Jordan, and I gave him my oath by the Lord, saying, I will not put you to death by the sword.

bbe@1Kings:2:9 @But do not let him be free from punishment, for you are a wise man; and it will be clear to you what you have to do with him; see that his white head goes down to the underworld in blood.

bbe@1Kings:2:10 @Then David went to rest with his fathers, and his body was put into the earth in the town of David.

bbe@1Kings:2:13 @Then Adonijah, the son of Haggith, came to Bath-sheba, the mother of Solomon. And she said, Come you in peace? And he said, Yes, in peace.

bbe@1Kings:2:15 @And he said, You saw how the kingdom was mine, and all Israel had the idea that I would be their king; but now the kingdom is turned about, and has become my brother's, for it was given to him by the Lord.

bbe@1Kings:2:17 @Then he said, Will you go to Solomon the king (for he will not say, No, to you) and put before him my request that he will give me Abishag the Shunammite for a wife?

bbe@1Kings:2:19 @So Bath-sheba went to King Solomon to have talk with him on Adonijah's account. And the king got up to come to her, and went down low to the earth before her; then he took his place on the king's seat and had a seat made ready for the king's mother and she took her place at his right hand.

bbe@1Kings:2:21 @And she said, Let Abishag the Shunammite be given to Adonijah your brother for a wife.

bbe@1Kings:2:22 @Then King Solomon made answer and said to his mother, Why are you requesting me to give Abishag the Shunammite to Adonijah? Take the kingdom for him in addition, for he is my older brother, and Abiathar the priest and Joab, the son of Zeruiah, are on his side.

bbe@1Kings:2:23 @Then King Solomon took an oath by the Lord, saying, May God's punishment be on me if Adonijah does not give payment for these words with his life.

bbe@1Kings:2:26 @And to Abiathar the priest the king said, Go to Anathoth, to your fields; for death would be your right reward; but I will not put you to death now, because you took up the ark of the Lord God before David my father, and you were with him in all his troubles.

bbe@1Kings:2:31 @And the king said, Do as he has said and make an attack on him there, and put his body into the earth; so that you may take away from me and from my family the blood of one put to death by Joab without cause.

bbe@1Kings:2:32 @And the Lord will send back his blood on his head, because of the attack he made on two men more upright and better than himself, putting them to the sword without my father's knowledge; even Abner, the son of Ner, captain of the army of Israel, and Amasa, the son of Jether, captain of the army of Judah.

bbe@1Kings:2:45 @But a blessing will be on King Solomon, and the kingdom of David will keep its place before the Lord for ever.

bbe@1Kings:2:46 @So the king gave orders to Benaiah, the son of Jehoiada; and he went out and, falling on him, put him to death. And Solomon's authority over the kingdom was complete.

bbe@1Kings:3:4 @And the king went to Gibeon to make an offering there, because that was the chief high place: it was Solomon's way to make a thousand burned offerings on that altar.

bbe@1Kings:3:7 @And now, O Lord my God, you have made your servant king in the place of David my father; and I am only a young boy, with no knowledge of how to go out or come in.

bbe@1Kings:3:13 @And with this I have given you what you made no request for: wealth and honour, so that no king was ever your equal.

bbe@1Kings:3:15 @And Solomon, awakening, saw that it was a dream; then he came to Jerusalem, where he went before the ark of the agreement of the Lord, offering burned offerings and peace-offerings; and he made a feast for all his servants.

bbe@1Kings:3:18 @And three days after the birth of my child, this woman had a child: we were together, no other-person was with us in the house but we two only.

bbe@1Kings:3:19 @In the night, this woman, sleeping on her child, was the cause of its death.

bbe@1Kings:3:20 @And she got up in the middle of the night and took my son from my side while your servant was sleeping; and she took it in her arms and put her dead child in my arms.

bbe@1Kings:3:21 @And when I got up to give my child the breast, I saw that it was dead; but in the morning, looking at it with care, I saw that it was not my son.

bbe@1Kings:3:26 @Then the mother of the living child came forward, for her heart went out to her son, and she said, O my lord, give her the child; do not on any account put it to death. But the other woman said, It will not be mine or yours; let it be cut in two.

bbe@1Kings:3:27 @Then the king made answer and said, Give her the child, and do not put it to death; she is the mother of it.

bbe@1Kings:4:5 @Azariah, the son of Nathan, was over those in authority in the different divisions of the country; Zabud, the son of Nathan, was priest and the king's friend;

bbe@1Kings:4:13 @... the son of Geber in Ramoth-gilead; he had the towns of Jair, the son of Manasseh, which are in Gilead, and the country of Argob, which is in Bashan, sixty great towns with walls and locks of brass.

bbe@1Kings:4:19 @Geber, the son of Uri, in the land of Gilead, the country of Sihon, king of the Amorites, and Og, king of Bashan; and one overseer had authority over all the overseers who were in the land.

bbe@1Kings:4:20 @Judah and Israel were as great in number as the sand by the seaside, and they took their food and drink with joy in their hearts.

bbe@1Kings:4:23 @Ten fat oxen and twenty oxen from the fields, and a hundred sheep, in addition to harts and gazelles and roes and fat fowls.

bbe@1Kings:4:24 @For he had authority over all the country on this side of the River, from Tiphsah to Gaza, over all the kings on this side of the River; and he had peace round him on every side.

bbe@1Kings:4:31 @For he was wiser than all men, even than Ethan the Ezrahite, and Heman and Calcol and Darda, the sons of Mahol; and he had a great name among all the nations round about.

bbe@1Kings:5:5 @And so it is my purpose to make a house for the name of the Lord my God, as he said to David my father, Your son, whom I will make king in your place, will be the builder of a house for my name.

bbe@1Kings:5:6 @So now, will you have cedar-trees from Lebanon cut down for me, and my servants will be with your servants; and I will give you payment for your servants at whatever rate you say; for it is common knowledge that we have no such wood-cutters among us as the men of Zidon.

bbe@1Kings:5:9 @My men will take them down from Lebanon to the sea, where I will have them corded together to go by sea to whatever place you say, and I will have them cut up there so that you may take them away; as for payment, it will be enough if you give me food for my people.

bbe@1Kings:5:16 @In addition to the chiefs of the responsible men put by Solomon to oversee the work, three thousand and three hundred in authority over the workmen.

bbe@1Kings:6:2 @The house which Solomon made for the Lord was sixty cubits long, twenty cubits wide and thirty cubits high.

bbe@1Kings:6:3 @The covered way before the Temple of the house was twenty cubits long, as wide as the house, and ten cubits wide in front of the house.

bbe@1Kings:6:4 @And for the house he made windows, with network across.

bbe@1Kings:6:5 @And against the walls all round, and against the walls of the Temple and of the inmost room, he put up wings, with side rooms all round:

bbe@1Kings:6:6 @The lowest line of them being five cubits wide, the middle six cubits wide and the third seven cubits; for there was a space all round the outside walls of the house so that the boards supporting the rooms did not have to be fixed in the walls of the house.

bbe@1Kings:6:9 @So he put up the house and made it complete, roofing it with boards of cedar-wood.

bbe@1Kings:6:10 @And he put up the line of side rooms against the walls of the house, fifteen cubits high, resting against the house on boards of cedar-wood.

bbe@1Kings:6:15 @The walls of the house were covered inside with cedar-wood boards; from the floor to the roof of the house they were covered inside with wood; and the floor was covered with boards of cypress-wood.

bbe@1Kings:6:16 @And at the back of the house a further space of twenty cubits was shut in with boards of cedar-wood, for the inmost room.

bbe@1Kings:6:17 @And the house, that is, the Temple, in front of the holy place was forty cubits long.

bbe@1Kings:6:18 @(All the inside of the house was cedar-wood, ornamented with designs of buds and flowers; no stonework was to be seen inside.)

bbe@1Kings:6:20 @And the inmost room was twenty cubits square and twenty cubits high, plated over with clear gold, and he made an altar of cedar-wood, plating it with gold.

bbe@1Kings:6:21 @Solomon had all the inside of the house covered with gold, and he put chains of gold across in front of the inmost room, which itself was covered with gold.

bbe@1Kings:6:22 @Plates of gold were put all through the house till it was covered completely (and the altar in the inmost room was all covered with gold).

bbe@1Kings:6:23 @In the inmost room he made two winged beings of olive-wood, ten cubits high;

bbe@1Kings:6:24 @With outstretched wings five cubits wide; the distance from the edge of one wing to the edge of the other was ten cubits.

bbe@1Kings:6:25 @The two winged ones were ten cubits high, of the same size and form.

bbe@1Kings:6:26 @The two of them were ten cubits high.

bbe@1Kings:6:28 @These winged ones were plated over with gold.

bbe@1Kings:6:29 @And all the walls of the house inside and out were ornamented with forms of winged ones and palm-trees and open flowers.

bbe@1Kings:6:30 @And the floor of the house was covered with gold, inside and out.

bbe@1Kings:6:32 @On the olive-wood doors were cut designs of winged ones and palm-trees and open flowers, all of them, with the doors, plated with gold.

bbe@1Kings:6:34 @And two folding doors of cypress-wood, with two leaves.

bbe@1Kings:6:35 @These were ornamented with designs of winged ones and palm-trees and open flowers, plated over with gold.

bbe@1Kings:6:36 @And the inner space was walled with three lines of squared stones and a line of cedar-wood boards.

bbe@1Kings:6:37 @In the fourth year the base of the house was put in its place, in the month Ziv.

bbe@1Kings:6:38 @And in the eleventh year, in the month Bul, which is the eighth month, the building of the house was complete in every detail, as it had been designed. So he was seven years building it.

bbe@1Kings:7:1 @Solomon was thirteen years building a house for himself till it was complete.

bbe@1Kings:7:2 @And he made the house of the Woods of Lebanon, which was a hundred cubits long and fifty cubits wide and thirty cubits high, resting on four lines of cedar-wood pillars with cedar-wood supports on the pillars.

bbe@1Kings:7:3 @And it was covered with cedar over the forty-five supports which were on the pillars, fifteen in a line.

bbe@1Kings:7:5 @And all the doors and windows had square frames, with the windows facing one another in three lines.

bbe@1Kings:7:6 @And he made a covered room of pillars, fifty cubits long and thirty cubits wide, and... with steps before it.

bbe@1Kings:7:7 @Then he made a covered room for his high seat when he gave decisions; this was the covered room of judging; it was covered with cedar-wood from floor to roof.

bbe@1Kings:7:8 @And the house for his living-place, the other open square in the covered room, was made in the same way. And then he made a house like it for Pharaoh's daughter, whom Solomon had taken as his wife.

bbe@1Kings:7:9 @All these buildings were made, inside and out, from base to crowning stone, and outside to the great walled square, of highly priced stone, cut to different sizes with cutting-instruments.

bbe@1Kings:7:10 @And the base was of great masses of highly priced stone, some ten cubits and some eight cubits square.

bbe@1Kings:7:12 @The great outer square all round was walled with three lines of squared stones and a line of cedar-wood boards, round about the open square inside the house of the Lord and the covered room of the king's house.

bbe@1Kings:7:15 @He it was who made the two brass pillars; the first pillar was eighteen cubits high, and a line of twelve cubits went round it; and the second was the same.

bbe@1Kings:7:16 @And he made the two crowns to be put on the tops of the pillars, of brass made soft in the fire; the crowns were five cubits high

bbe@1Kings:7:19 @The crowns on the tops of the pillars were ornamented with a design of flowers, and were four cubits across.

bbe@1Kings:7:23 @And he made a great metal water-vessel ten cubits across from edge to edge, five cubits high and thirty cubits round.

bbe@1Kings:7:24 @And under the edge of it, circling it all round for ten cubits, were two lines of flower buds, made together with it from liquid metal.

bbe@1Kings:7:25 @It was supported on twelve oxen, with their back parts turned to the middle of it, three of them facing to the north, three to the west, three to the south, and three to the east; the vessel was resting on top of them.

bbe@1Kings:7:26 @It was as thick as a man's open hand, and was curved like the edge of a cup, like the flower of a lily: it would take two thousand baths.

bbe@1Kings:7:27 @And he made ten wheeled bases of brass; every one four cubits long, four cubits wide, and three cubits high.

bbe@1Kings:7:31 @The mouth of it inside the angle-plate was one cubit across; it was round like a pillar, a cubit and a half across; it had designs cut on it; the sides were square, not round.

bbe@1Kings:7:32 @The four wheels were under the frames, and the rods on which the wheels were fixed were in the base; the wheels were a cubit and a half high.

bbe@1Kings:7:35 @And at the top of the base there was a round vessel, half a cubit high;

bbe@1Kings:7:36 @In the spaces of the flat sides and on the frames of them, he made designs of winged ones, lions, and palm-trees, with ornamented edges all round.

bbe@1Kings:7:38 @And he made ten brass washing-vessels, everyone taking forty baths, and measuring four cubits; one vessel was placed on every one of the ten bases.

bbe@1Kings:7:43 @And the ten bases, with the ten washing-vessels on them;

bbe@1Kings:7:44 @And the great water-vessel, with the twelve oxen under it;

bbe@1Kings:7:47 @The weight of all these vessels was not measured, because there was such a number of them; it was not possible to get the weight of the brass.

bbe@1Kings:8:4 @They took up the ark of the Lord, and the Tent of meeting, and all the holy vessels which were in the Tent; all these the priests and the Levites took up.

bbe@1Kings:8:5 @And King Solomon and all the men of Israel who had come together there, were with him before the ark, making offerings of sheep and oxen more than might be numbered.

bbe@1Kings:8:6 @And the priests took the ark of the agreement of the Lord and put it in its place in the inner room of the house, in the most holy place, under the wings of the winged ones.

bbe@1Kings:8:7 @For their wings were outstretched over the place where the ark was, covering the ark and its rods.

bbe@1Kings:8:9 @There was nothing in the ark but the two flat stones which Moses put there at Horeb, where the Lord made an agreement with the children of Israel when they came out of the land of Egypt.

bbe@1Kings:8:15 @And he said, Praise be to the Lord, the God of Israel, who himself gave his word to David my father, and with his strong hand has made his word come true, saying,

bbe@1Kings:8:17 @Now it was in the heart of David my father to put up a house for the name of the Lord, the God of Israel.

bbe@1Kings:8:19 @But you yourself will not be the builder of my house; but your son, the offspring of your body, he it is who will put up a house for my name.

bbe@1Kings:8:21 @In it I have made a place for the ark, in which is the agreement which the Lord made with our fathers, when he took them out of the land of Egypt.

bbe@1Kings:8:23 @Said, O Lord, the God of Israel, there is no God like you in heaven or on the earth; keeping faith and mercy unchanging for your servants, while they go in your ways with all their hearts.

bbe@1Kings:8:24 @And you have kept the word which you gave to your servant David, my father; with your mouth you said it and with your hand you have made it come true this day.

bbe@1Kings:8:25 @So now, O Lord, the God of Israel, let your word to your servant David, my father, come true, when you said, You will never be without a man to take his place on the seat of the kingdom of Israel before me, if only your children give attention to their ways, walking before me as you have done.

bbe@1Kings:8:26 @So now, O God of Israel, it is my prayer that you will make your word come true which you said to your servant David, my father.

bbe@1Kings:8:27 @But is it truly possible that God may be housed on earth? see, heaven and the heaven of heavens are not wide enough to be your resting-place; how much less this house which I have made!

bbe@1Kings:8:35 @When heaven is shut up and there is no rain, because of their sin against you; if they make prayers with their faces turned to this place, honouring your name and turning away from their sin when you send trouble on them:

bbe@1Kings:8:36 @Then give ear in heaven, so that the sin of your servants, and of your people Israel, may have forgiveness, when you make clear to them the good way in which they are to go; and send rain on your land which you have given to your people for their heritage.

bbe@1Kings:8:37 @If there is no food in the land, or if there is disease, or if the fruits of the earth are damaged through heat or water, locust or worm; if their towns are shut in by their attackers; whatever trouble, whatever disease there may be:

bbe@1Kings:8:43 @Give ear in heaven your living-place, and give him his desire, whatever it may be; so that all the peoples of the earth may have knowledge of your name, worshipping you as do your people Israel, and that they may see that this house which I have put up is truly named by your name.

bbe@1Kings:8:46 @If they do wrong against you, (for no man is without sin,) and you are angry with them and give them up into the power of those who are fighting against them, so that they take them away as prisoners into a strange land, far off or near;

bbe@1Kings:8:48 @And with all their heart and soul are turned again to you, in the land of those who took them prisoners, and make their prayer to you, turning their eyes to this land which you gave to their fathers, and to the town which you took for yourself, and the house which I made for your name:

bbe@1Kings:8:50 @Answering with forgiveness the people who have done wrong against you, and overlooking the evil which they have done against you; let those who made them prisoners be moved with pity for them, and have pity on them;

bbe@1Kings:8:51 @For they are your people and your heritage, which you took out of Egypt, out of the iron fireplace;

bbe@1Kings:8:53 @For you made them separate from all the peoples of the earth, to be your heritage, as you said by Moses your servant, when you took our fathers out of Egypt, O Lord God.

bbe@1Kings:8:55 @And, getting on his feet, he gave a blessing to all the men of Israel, saying with a loud voice,

bbe@1Kings:8:57 @Now may the Lord our God be with us as he was with our fathers; let him never go away from us or give us up;

bbe@1Kings:8:61 @Then let your hearts be without sin before the Lord our God, walking in his laws and keeping his orders as at this day.

bbe@1Kings:8:62 @Now the king, and all Israel with him, were making offerings before the Lord.

bbe@1Kings:8:65 @So Solomon and all Israel with him, a very great meeting, (for the people had come together from the way into Hamath to the river of Egypt,) kept the feast at that time before the Lord our God, for two weeks, even fourteen days.

bbe@1Kings:9:4 @As for you, if you will go on your way before me, as David your father did, uprightly and with a true heart, doing what I have given you orders to do, keeping my laws and my decisions;

bbe@1Kings:9:5 @Then I will make the seat of your rule over Israel certain for ever, as I gave my word to David your father, saying, You will never be without a man to be king in Israel.

bbe@1Kings:9:8 @And this house will become a mass of broken walls, and everyone who goes by will be overcome with wonder at it and make whistling sounds; and they will say, Why has the Lord done so to this land and to this house?

bbe@1Kings:9:12 @But when Hiram came from Tyre to see the towns which Solomon had given him, he was not pleased with them.

bbe@1Kings:9:16 @Pharaoh, king of Egypt, came and took Gezer, burning it down and putting to death the Canaanites living in the town, and he gave it for a bride-offering to his daughter, Solomon's wife....

bbe@1Kings:9:19 @And all the store-towns and the towns which Solomon had for his war-carriages and for his horsemen, and everything which it was his pleasure to put up in Jerusalem and in Lebanon and in all the land under his rule.

bbe@1Kings:9:20 @As for the rest of the Amorites, the Hittites, the Perizzites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites, who were not children of Israel;

bbe@1Kings:9:23 @These were the chiefs of the overseers of Solomon's work, five hundred and fifty, in authority over the people who did the work.

bbe@1Kings:9:25 @Three times in the year it was Solomon's way to give burned offerings and peace-offerings on the altar he had made to the Lord, causing his fire-offering to go up on the altar before the Lord.

bbe@1Kings:9:27 @Hiram sent his servants, who were experienced seamen, in the sea-force with Solomon's men.

bbe@1Kings:9:28 @And they came to Ophir, where they got four hundred and twenty talents of gold, and took it back to King Solomon.

bbe@1Kings:10:1 @Now the queen of Sheba, hearing great things of Solomon, came to put his wisdom to the test with hard questions.

bbe@1Kings:10:2 @And she came to Jerusalem with a very great train, with camels weighted down with spices, and stores of gold and jewels: and when she came to Solomon she had talk with him of everything in her mind.

bbe@1Kings:10:5 @And the food at his table, and all his servants seated there, and those who were waiting on him in their places, and their robes, and his wine-servants, and the burned offerings which he made in the house of the Lord, there was no more spirit in her.

bbe@1Kings:10:7 @But I had no faith in what was said about you, till I came and saw for myself; and now I see that it was not half the story; your wisdom and your wealth are much greater than they said.

bbe@1Kings:10:9 @May the Lord your God be praised, whose pleasure it was to put you on the seat of the kingdom of Israel; because the Lord's love for Israel is eternal, he has made you king, to be their judge in righteousness

bbe@1Kings:10:11 @And the sea-force of Hiram, in addition to gold from Ophir, came back with much sandal-wood and jewels.

bbe@1Kings:10:13 @And King Solomon gave the queen of Sheba all her desire, whatever she made request for, in addition to what he gave her freely from the impulse of his heart. So she went back to her country, she and her servants.

bbe@1Kings:10:15 @In addition to what came to him from the business of the traders, and from all the kings of the Arabians, and from the rulers of the country.

bbe@1Kings:10:16 @And Solomon made two hundred body-covers of hammered gold, every one having six hundred shekels of gold in it.

bbe@1Kings:10:17 @And he made three hundred smaller body-covers of hammered gold, with three pounds of gold in every cover: and the king put them in the house of the Woods of Lebanon.

bbe@1Kings:10:18 @Then the king made a great ivory seat, plated with the best gold.

bbe@1Kings:10:19 @There were six steps going up to it, and the top of it was round at the back, there were arms on the two sides of the seat, and two lions by the side of the arms;

bbe@1Kings:10:20 @And twelve lions were placed on the one side and on the other side on the six steps: there was nothing like it in any kingdom.

bbe@1Kings:10:22 @For the king had Tarshish-ships at sea with the ships of Hiram; once every three years the Tarshish-ships came with gold and silver and ivory and monkeys and peacocks.

bbe@1Kings:10:25 @And everyone took with him an offering, vessels of silver and vessels of gold, and robes, and coats of metal, and spices, and horses, and beasts of transport, regularly year by year.

bbe@1Kings:10:26 @And Solomon got together war-carriages and horsemen; he had one thousand, four hundred carriages and twelve thousand horsemen, whom he kept, some in the carriage-towns and some with the king at Jerusalem.

bbe@1Kings:10:29 @A war-carriage might be got from Egypt for six hundred shekels of silver, and a horse for a hundred and fifty; they got them at the same rate for all the kings of the Hittites and the kings of Aram.

bbe@1Kings:11:1 @Now a number of strange women were loved by Solomon, women of the Moabites, Ammonites, Edomites, Zidonians, and Hittites:

bbe@1Kings:11:2 @The nations of which the Lord had said to the children of Israel, You are not to take wives from them and they are not to take wives from you; or they will certainly make you go after their gods: to these Solomon was united in love.

bbe@1Kings:11:4 @For it came about that when Solomon was old, his heart was turned away to other gods by his wives; and his heart was no longer true to the Lord his God as the heart of his father David had been.

bbe@1Kings:11:5 @For Solomon went after Ashtoreth, the goddess of the Zidonians, and Milcom, the disgusting god of the Ammonites.

bbe@1Kings:11:6 @And Solomon did evil in the eyes of the Lord, not walking in the Lord's ways with all his heart as David his father did.

bbe@1Kings:11:8 @And so he did for all his strange wives, who made offerings with burning of perfumes to their gods.

bbe@1Kings:11:9 @And the Lord was angry with Solomon, because his heart was turned away from the Lord, the God of Israel, who had twice come to him in a vision;

bbe@1Kings:11:11 @So the Lord said to Solomon, Because you have done this, and have not kept my agreement and my laws, which I gave you, I will take the kingdom away from you by force and will give it to your servant

bbe@1Kings:11:12 @I will not do it in your life-time, because of your father David, but I will take it from your son.

bbe@1Kings:11:14 @So the Lord sent Hadad the Edomite to make trouble for Solomon: he was of the king's seed in Edom.

bbe@1Kings:11:17 @Hadad, being still a young boy, went in flight to Egypt, with certain Edomites, servants of his father;

bbe@1Kings:11:18 @And they went on from Midian and came to Paran; and, taking men from Paran with them, they came to Egypt, to Pharaoh, king of Egypt, who gave him a house and gave orders for his food and gave him land.

bbe@1Kings:11:21 @Now when Hadad had news in Egypt that David had been put to rest with his fathers, and that Joab, the captain of the army, was dead, he said to Pharaoh, Send me back to my country.

bbe@1Kings:11:22 @But Pharaoh said to him, What have you been short of while you have been with me, that you are desiring to go back to your country? And he said, Nothing; but even so, send me back.

bbe@1Kings:11:26 @And there was Jeroboam, the son of Nebat, an Ephraimite from Zeredah, a servant of Solomon, whose mother was Zeruah, a widow; and his hand was lifted up against the king.

bbe@1Kings:11:29 @Now at that time, when Jeroboam was going out of Jerusalem, the prophet Ahijah the Shilonite came across him on the road; now Ahijah had put on a new robe; and the two of them were by themselves in the open country.

bbe@1Kings:11:30 @And Ahijah took his new robe in his hands, parting it violently into twelve.

bbe@1Kings:11:33 @Because they are turned away from me to the worship of Ashtoreth, the goddess of the Zidonians, and Chemosh, the god of Moab, and Milcom, the god of the Ammonites; they have not been walking in my ways or doing what is right in my eyes or keeping my laws and my decisions as his father David did.

bbe@1Kings:11:35 @But I will take the kingdom from his son, and give it to you.

bbe@1Kings:11:38 @And if you give attention to the orders I give you, walking in my ways and doing what is right in my eyes and keeping my laws and my orders as David my servant did; then I will be with you, building up for you a safe house, as I did for David, and I will give Israel to you.

bbe@1Kings:11:43 @And Solomon went to rest with his fathers, and was put into the earth in the town of David his father: and Solomon went to rest with his fathers and Rehoboam his son became king in his place.

bbe@1Kings:12:2 @And, hearing of it, Jeroboam, the son of Nebat, who was still in Egypt, where he had gone in flight from Solomon, and was living there, came back to his town Zeredah, in the hill-country of Ephraim;

bbe@1Kings:12:4 @Your father put a hard yoke on us: if you will make the conditions under which your father kept us down less cruel, and the weight of the yoke he put on us less hard, then we will be your servants.

bbe@1Kings:12:6 @Then King Rehoboam took the opinion of the old men who had been with Solomon his father when he was living, and said, In your opinion, what answer am I to give to this people?

bbe@1Kings:12:8 @But he gave no attention to the opinion of the old men, and went to the young men of his generation who were waiting before him:

bbe@1Kings:12:10 @And the young men of his generation said to him, This is the answer to give to the people who came to you saying, Your father put a hard yoke on us; will you make it less? say to them, My little finger is thicker than my father's body;

bbe@1Kings:12:11 @If my father put a hard yoke on you, I will make it harder: my father gave you punishment with whips, but I will give you blows with snakes.

bbe@1Kings:12:14 @But giving them the answer put forward by the young men, saying, My father made your yoke hard, but I will make it harder; my father gave you punishment with whips, but I will give it with snakes.

bbe@1Kings:12:15 @So the king did not give ear to the people; and this came about by the purpose of the Lord, so that what he had said by Ahijah the Shilonite to Jeroboam, son of Nebat, might be effected.

bbe@1Kings:12:16 @And when all Israel saw that the king would give no attention to them, the people in answer said to the king, What part have we in David? what is our heritage in the son of Jesse? to your tents, O Israel; now see to your people, David. So Israel went away to their tents.

bbe@1Kings:12:31 @And he made places for worship at the high places, and made priests, who were not Levites, from among all the people.

bbe@1Kings:13:3 @The same day he gave them a sign, saying, This is the sign which the Lord has given: See, the altar will be broken and the burned waste on it overturned.

bbe@1Kings:13:4 @Then the king, hearing the man of God crying out against the altar at Beth-el, put out his hand from the altar, saying, Take him prisoner. And his hand, stretched out against him, became dead, and he had no power of pulling it back.

bbe@1Kings:13:5 @And the altar was broken and the burned waste on it overturned; this was the sign which the man of God had given by the word of the Lord.

bbe@1Kings:13:6 @Then the king made answer and said to the man of God, Make a prayer now for the grace of the Lord your God, and for me, that my hand may be made well. And in answer to the prayer of the man of God, the king's hand was made well again, as it was before.

bbe@1Kings:13:7 @And the king said to the man of God, Come with me to my house for food and rest, and I will give you a reward.

bbe@1Kings:13:8 @But the man of God said to the king, Even if you gave me half of all you have, I would not go in with you, and I would not take food or a drink of water in this place;

bbe@1Kings:13:13 @So the prophet said to his sons, Make ready an ass for me. So they made an ass ready, and he got on it,

bbe@1Kings:13:14 @And went after the man of God, and came up with him while he was seated under an oak-tree. And he said to him, Are you the man of God who came from Judah? And he said, I am.

bbe@1Kings:13:15 @Then he said to him, Come back to the house with me and have a meal

bbe@1Kings:13:16 @But he said, I may not go back with you or go into your house; and I will not take food or a drink of water with you in this place;

bbe@1Kings:13:18 @Then he said to him, I am a prophet like you; and an angel said to me by the word of the Lord, Take him back with you and give him food and water. But he said false words to him.

bbe@1Kings:13:19 @So he went back with him, and had a meal in his house and a drink of water.

bbe@1Kings:13:22 @But have come back, and have taken food and water in this place where he said you were to take no food or water; your dead body will not be put to rest with your fathers.

bbe@1Kings:13:24 @And he went on his way; but on the road a lion came rushing at him and put him to death; and his dead body was stretched in the road with the ass by its side, and the lion was there by the body.

bbe@1Kings:13:25 @And some men, going by, saw the body stretched out in the road with the lion by its side; and they came and gave news of it in the town where the old prophet was living.

bbe@1Kings:13:26 @Then the prophet who had made him come back, hearing it, said, It is the man of God, who went against the word of the Lord; that is why the Lord has given him to the lion to be wounded to death, as the Lord said.

bbe@1Kings:13:28 @And he went and saw the dead body stretched out in the road with the ass and the lion by its side: the lion had not taken the body for its food or done any damage to the ass.

bbe@1Kings:13:29 @Then the prophet took up the body of the man of God and put it on the ass and took it back; and he came to the town to put the body to rest with weeping.

bbe@1Kings:13:30 @And he put the body in the resting-place made ready for himself, weeping and sorrowing over it, saying, O my brother!

bbe@1Kings:13:31 @And when he had put it to rest, he said to his sons, When I am dead, then you are to put my body into the earth with the body of this man of God, and put me by his bones so that my bones may be kept safe with his bones.

bbe@1Kings:13:33 @After this Jeroboam, not turning back from his evil ways, still made priests for his altars from among all the people; he made a priest of anyone desiring it, so that there might be priests of the high places.

bbe@1Kings:13:34 @And this became a sin in the family of Jeroboam, causing it to be cut off and sent to destruction from the face of the earth.

bbe@1Kings:14:3 @And take with you ten cakes of bread and dry cakes and a pot of honey, and go to him: he will give you word of what is to become of the child.

bbe@1Kings:14:6 @Then Ahijah, hearing the sound of her footsteps coming in at the door, said, Come in, O wife of Jeroboam; why do you make yourself seem like another? for I am sent to you with bitter news.

bbe@1Kings:14:8 @And took the kingdom away by force from the seed of David and gave it to you, you have not been like my servant David, who kept my orders, and was true to me with all his heart, doing only what was right in my eyes.

bbe@1Kings:14:10 @So I will send evil on the line of Jeroboam, cutting off from his family every male child, those who are shut up and those who go free in Israel; the family of Jeroboam will be brushed away like a man brushing away waste till it is all gone.

bbe@1Kings:14:11 @Those of the family of Jeroboam who come to death in the town, will become food for the dogs; and those on whom death comes in the open country, will be food for the birds of the air; for the Lord has said it.

bbe@1Kings:14:15 @And even now the hand of the Lord has come down on Israel, shaking it like a river-grass in the water; and, uprooting Israel from this good land, which he gave to their fathers, he will send them this way and that on the other side of the River; because they have made for themselves images, moving the Lord to wrath.

bbe@1Kings:14:20 @And Jeroboam was king for twenty-two years, and was put to rest with his fathers, and Nadab his son became king in his place.

bbe@1Kings:14:21 @And Rehoboam, the son of Solomon, was king in Judah. Rehoboam was forty-one years old when he became king, and he was king for seventeen years in Jerusalem, the town which the Lord had made his out of all the tribes of Israel, to put his name there; his mother's name was Naamah, an Ammonite woman.

bbe@1Kings:14:28 @And whenever the king went into the house of the Lord, the armed men went with him taking the body-covers, and then took them back to their room.

bbe@1Kings:14:31 @And Rehoboam went to rest with his fathers, and was put into the earth with his fathers in the town of David; his mother's name was Naamah, an Ammonite woman. And Abijam his son became king in his place.

bbe@1Kings:15:5 @Because David did what was right in the eyes of the Lord, and never in all his life went against his orders, but only in the question of Uriah the Hittite.

bbe@1Kings:15:8 @Then Abijam went to rest with his fathers, and they put him into the earth in the town of David: and Asa his son became king in his place.

bbe@1Kings:15:19 @Let there be an agreement between me and you as there was between my father and your father: see, I have sent you an offering of silver and gold; go and put an end to your agreement with Baasha, king of Israel, so that he may give up attacking me

bbe@1Kings:15:21 @And Baasha, hearing of it, put a stop to the building of Ramah, and was living in Tirzah.

bbe@1Kings:15:22 @Then King Asa got all Judah together, making every man come; and they took away the stones and the wood with which Baasha was building Ramah, and King Asa made use of them for building Geba in the land of Benjamin, and Mizpah.

bbe@1Kings:15:24 @So Asa went to rest with his fathers and was put into the earth in the town of David his father: and Jehoshaphat his son became king in his place.

bbe@1Kings:15:29 @And straight away when he became king, he sent destruction on all the offspring of Jeroboam; there was not one living person of all the family of Jeroboam whom he did not put to death, so the word of the Lord, which he said by his servant Ahijah the Shilonite, came about;

bbe@1Kings:16:6 @And Baasha went to rest with his fathers, and was put into the earth at Tirzah; and Elah his son became king in his place.

bbe@1Kings:16:7 @And the Lord sent his word against Baasha and his family by the mouth of the prophet Jehu, the son of Hanani, because of all the evil he did in the eyes of the Lord, moving him to wrath by the work of his hands, because he was like the family of Jeroboam, and because he put it to death.

bbe@1Kings:16:17 @Then Omri went up from Gibbethon, with all the army of Israel, and they made an attack on Tirzah, shutting in the town on every side.

bbe@1Kings:16:24 @He got the hill Samaria from Shemer for the price of two talents of silver, and he made a town there, building it on the hill and naming it Samaria, after Shemer the owner of the hill.

bbe@1Kings:16:28 @So Omri went to rest with his fathers, and was put into the earth in Samaria; and Ahab his son became king in his place.

bbe@1Kings:16:34 @In his days Hiel made Jericho; he put its base in position at the price of Abiram, his oldest son, and he put its doors in place at the price of his youngest son Segub; even as the Lord had said by Joshua, the son of Nun.

bbe@1Kings:17:1 @And Elijah the Tishbite, of Tishbe in Gilead, said to Ahab, By the living Lord, the God of Israel, whose servant I am, there will be no dew or rain in these years, but only at my word.

bbe@1Kings:17:3 @Go from here in the direction of the east, and keep yourself in a secret place by the stream Cherith, east of Jordan.

bbe@1Kings:17:5 @So he went and did as the Lord said, living by the stream Cherith, east of Jordan.

bbe@1Kings:17:10 @So he got up and went to Zarephath; and when he came to the door of the town, he saw a widow woman getting sticks together; and crying out to her he said, Will you give me a little water in a vessel for my drink?

bbe@1Kings:17:11 @And when she was going to get it, he said to her, And get me with it a small bit of bread.

bbe@1Kings:17:12 @Then she said, By the life of the Lord your God, I have nothing but a little meal in my store, and a drop of oil in the bottle; and now I am getting two sticks together so that I may go in and make it ready for me and my son, so that we may have a meal before our death.

bbe@1Kings:17:13 @And Elijah said to her, Have no fear; go and do as you have said, but first make me a little cake of it and come and give it to me, and then make something for yourself and your son.

bbe@1Kings:17:14 @For this is the word of the Lord, the God of Israel: The store of meal will not come to an end, and the bottle will never be without oil, till the day when the Lord sends rain on the earth.

bbe@1Kings:17:16 @The store of meal did not come to an end, and the bottle was never without oil, as the Lord had said by the mouth of Elijah.

bbe@1Kings:17:18 @And she said to Elijah, What have I to do with you, O man of God? have you come to put God in mind of my sin, and to put my son to death?

bbe@1Kings:17:22 @And the Lord gave ear to the voice of Elijah, and the child's spirit came into him again, and he came back to life.

bbe@1Kings:18:6 @So they went through all the country, covering it between them; Ahab went in one direction by himself, and Obadiah went in another by himself.

bbe@1Kings:18:7 @And while Obadiah was on his way, he came face to face with Elijah; and seeing who it was, he went down on his face and said, Is it you, my lord Elijah?

bbe@1Kings:18:8 @And Elijah in answer said, It is I; now go and say to your lord, Elijah is here.

bbe@1Kings:18:12 @And straight away, when I have gone from you, the spirit of the Lord will take you away, I have no idea where, so that when I come and give word to Ahab, and he sees you not, he will put me to death: though I, your servant, have been a worshipper of the Lord from my earliest years.

bbe@1Kings:18:17 @And when he saw Elijah, Ahab said to him, Is it you, you troubler of Israel?

bbe@1Kings:18:19 @Now send, and get Israel together before me at Mount Carmel, with the four hundred and fifty prophets of Baal who get their food at Jezebel's table.

bbe@1Kings:18:23 @Now, let them give us two oxen; and let them take one for themselves, and have it cut up, and put it on the wood, but put no fire under it; I will get the other ox ready, and put it on the wood, and put no fire under it.

bbe@1Kings:18:24 @And do you make prayers to your god, and I will make a prayer to the Lord: and it will be clear that the one who gives an answer by fire is God. And all the people in answer said, It is well said.

bbe@1Kings:18:25 @Then Elijah said to the prophets of Baal, Take one ox for yourselves and get it ready first, for there are more of you; and make your prayers to your god, but put no fire under.

bbe@1Kings:18:26 @So they took the ox which was given them, and made it ready, crying out to Baal from morning till the middle of the day, and saying, O Baal, give ear to us. But there was no voice and no answer. And they were jumping up and down before the altar they had made.

bbe@1Kings:18:28 @So they gave loud cries, cutting themselves with knives and swords, as was their way, till the blood came streaming out all over them.

bbe@1Kings:18:29 @And from the middle of the day they went on with their prayers till the time of the offering; but there was no voice, or any answer, or any who gave attention to them.

bbe@1Kings:18:32 @And with the stones he made an altar to the name of the Lord; and he made a deep drain all round the altar, great enough to take two measures of seed.

bbe@1Kings:18:33 @And he put the wood in order, and, cutting up the ox, put it on the wood. Then he said, Get four vessels full of water and put it on the burned offering and on the wood. And he said, Do it a second time, and they did it a second time;

bbe@1Kings:18:34 @And he said, Do it a third time, and they did it a third time.

bbe@1Kings:18:36 @Then at the time of the offering, Elijah the prophet came near and said, O Lord, the God of Abraham, of Isaac, and of Israel, let it be seen this day that you are God in Israel, and that I am your servant, and that I have done all these things by your order.

bbe@1Kings:18:39 @And when the people saw it, they all went down on their faces, and said, The Lord, he is God, the Lord, he is God.

bbe@1Kings:18:45 @And after a very little time, the heaven became black with clouds and wind, and there was a great rain. And Ahab went in his carriage to Jezreel.

bbe@1Kings:19:1 @Ahab gave Jezebel news of all Elijah had done, and how he had put all the prophets to death with the sword.

bbe@1Kings:19:4 @While he himself went a day's journey into the waste land, and took a seat under a broom-plant, desiring for himself only death; for he said, It is enough: now, O Lord, take away my life, for I am no better than my fathers.

bbe@1Kings:19:10 @And he said, I have been burning for the honour of the Lord, the God of armies; for the children of Israel have not kept your agreement; they have made destruction of your altars, and have put your prophets to death with the sword: till I, even I, am the only one living; and now they are attempting to take away my life

bbe@1Kings:19:13 @And Elijah, hearing it, went out, covering his face with his robe, and took his place in the opening of the hole. And there a voice came to him saying, What are you doing here, Elijah?

bbe@1Kings:19:14 @And he said, I have been burning for the honour of the Lord, the God of armies; for the children of Israel have not kept your agreement; they have had your altars broken down, and have put your prophets to death with the sword: till I, even I, am the only one living; and now they are attempting to take away my life.

bbe@1Kings:19:17 @And it will come about that the man who gets away safe from the sword of Hazael, Jehu will put to death; and whoever gets away safe from the sword of Jehu, Elisha will put to death.

bbe@1Kings:19:19 @So he went away from there and came across Elisha, the son of Shaphat, ploughing with twelve yoke of oxen, he himself walking with the twelfth; and Elijah went up to him and put his robe on him.

bbe@1Kings:19:21 @And he went back, and took the oxen and put them to death, and cooking their flesh with the yokes of the oxen, he gave the people a feast. Then he got up and went after Elijah and became his servant.

bbe@1Kings:20:1 @Now Ben-hadad, king of Aram, got all his army together, and thirty-two kings with him, and horses and carriages of war; he went up and made war on Samaria, shutting it in.

bbe@1Kings:20:4 @And the king of Israel sent him an answer saying, As you say, my lord king, I am yours with all I have.

bbe@1Kings:20:9 @So he said to the representatives of Ben-hadad, Say to my lord the king, All the orders you sent the first time I will do; but this thing I may not do. And the representatives went back with this answer.

bbe@1Kings:20:12 @Now when this answer was given to Ben-hadad, he was drinking with the kings in the tents, and he said to his men, Take up your positions

bbe@1Kings:20:13 @Then a prophet came up to Ahab, king of Israel, and said, The Lord says, Have you seen all this great army? See, I will give it into your hands today, and you will see that I am the Lord.

bbe@1Kings:20:16 @And in the middle of the day they went out. But Ben-hadad was drinking in the tents with the thirty-two kings who were helping him.

bbe@1Kings:20:19 @So the servants of the chiefs of the divisions of the land went out of the town, with the army coming after them.

bbe@1Kings:20:20 @And every one of them put his man to death, and the Aramaeans went in flight with Israel after them; and Ben-hadad, king of Aram, got away safely on a horse with his horsemen.

bbe@1Kings:20:24 @This is what you have to do: take away the kings from their positions, and put captains in their places;

bbe@1Kings:20:27 @And the children of Israel got themselves together, and food was made ready and they went against them; the tents of the children of Israel were like two little flocks of goats before them, but all the country was full of the Aramaeans.

bbe@1Kings:20:29 @Now the two armies kept their positions facing one another for seven days. And on the seventh day the fight was started; and the children of Israel put to the sword a hundred thousand Aramaean footmen in one day.

bbe@1Kings:20:31 @Then his servants said to him, It is said that the kings of Israel are full of mercy: let us then put on haircloth, and cords on our heads, and go to the king of Israel; it may be that he will give you your life.

bbe@1Kings:20:33 @Now the men took it as a sign, and quickly took up his words; and they said, Ben-hadad is your brother. Then he said, Go and get him. So Ben-hadad came out to him and he made him get up into his carriage.

bbe@1Kings:20:34 @And Ben-hadad said to him, The towns my father took from your father I will give back; and you may make streets for yourself in Damascus as my father did in Samaria. And as for me, at the price of this agreement you will let me go. So he made an agreement with him and let him go.

bbe@1Kings:20:38 @So the prophet went away, and pulling his head-band over his eyes to keep his face covered, took his place by the road waiting for the king.

bbe@1Kings:20:39 @And when the king went by, crying out to him he said, Your servant went out into the fight; and a man came out to me with another man and said, Keep this man: if by any chance he gets away, your life will be the price of his life, or you will have to give a talent of silver in payment.

bbe@1Kings:20:43 @Then the king of Israel went back to his house, bitter and angry, and came to Samaria.

bbe@1Kings:21:1 @Now Naboth the Jezreelite had a vine-garden in Jezreel, near the house of Ahab, king of Samaria.

bbe@1Kings:21:2 @And Ahab said to Naboth, Give me your vine-garden so that I may have it for a garden of sweet plants, for it is near my house; and let me give you a better vine-garden in exchange, or, if it seems good to you, let me give you its value in money.

bbe@1Kings:21:3 @But Naboth said to Ahab, By the Lord, far be it from me to give you the heritage of my fathers.

bbe@1Kings:21:4 @So Ahab came into his house bitter and angry because Naboth the Jezreelite had said to him, I will not give you the heritage of my fathers. And stretching himself on the bed with his face turned away, he would take no food.

bbe@1Kings:21:5 @But Jezebel, his wife, came to him and said, Why is your spirit so bitter that you have no desire for food?

bbe@1Kings:21:6 @And he said to her, Because I was talking to Naboth the Jezreelite, and I said to him, Let me have your vine-garden for a price, or, if it is pleasing to you, I will give you another vine-garden for it: and he said, I will not give you my vine-garden.

bbe@1Kings:21:7 @Then Jezebel, his wife, said, Are you now the ruler of Israel? Get up, take food, and let your heart be glad; I will give you the vine-garden of Naboth the Jezreelite.

bbe@1Kings:21:8 @So she sent a letter in Ahab's name, stamped with his stamp, to the responsible men and the chiefs who were in authority with Naboth.

bbe@1Kings:21:10 @And get two good-for-nothing persons to come before him and give witness that he has been cursing God and the king. Then take him out and have him stoned to death.

bbe@1Kings:21:11 @So the responsible men and the chiefs who were in authority in his town, did as Jezebel had said in the letter she sent them.

bbe@1Kings:21:13 @And the two good-for-nothing persons came in and took their seats before him and gave witness against Naboth, in front of the people, saying, Naboth has been cursing God and the king. Then they took him outside the town and had him stoned to death.

bbe@1Kings:21:15 @Then Jezebel, hearing that Naboth had been stoned and was dead, said to Ahab, Get up and take as your heritage the vine-garden of Naboth the Jezreelite, which he would not give you for money, for Naboth is no longer living but is dead.

bbe@1Kings:21:16 @So Ahab, hearing that Naboth was dead, went down to the vine-garden of Naboth the Jezreelite to take it as his heritage.

bbe@1Kings:21:17 @And the word of the Lord came to Elijah the Tishbite, saying,

bbe@1Kings:21:18 @Go down to Ahab, king of Israel, in Samaria; see, he is in the vine-garden of Naboth the Jezreelite, where he has gone to take it as his heritage.

bbe@1Kings:21:19 @Say to him, The Lord says, Have you put a man to death and taken his heritage? Then say to him, The Lord says, In the place where dogs have been drinking the blood of Naboth, there will your blood become the drink of dogs.

bbe@1Kings:21:20 @And Ahab said to Elijah, Have you come face to face with me, O my hater? And he said, I have come to you because you have given yourself up to do evil in the eyes of the Lord.

bbe@1Kings:21:23 @And of Jezebel the Lord said, Jezebel will become food for dogs in the heritage of Jezreel.

bbe@1Kings:21:25 @(There was no one like Ahab, who gave himself up to do evil in the eyes of the Lord, moved to it by Jezebel his wife.

bbe@1Kings:21:26 @He did a very disgusting thing in going after false gods, doing all the things the Amorites did, whom the Lord sent out before the children of Israel.)

bbe@1Kings:21:27 @Hearing these words, Ahab, in great grief, put haircloth on his flesh and went without food, sleeping in haircloth, and going about quietly.

bbe@1Kings:21:28 @Then the word of the Lord came to Elijah the Tishbite, saying,

bbe@1Kings:22:2 @And it came about in the third year, that Jehoshaphat, king of Judah, came down to the king of Israel.

bbe@1Kings:22:3 @And the king of Israel said to his servants, Do you not see that Ramoth-gilead is ours? and we are doing nothing to get it back from the hands of the king of Aram.

bbe@1Kings:22:4 @And he said to Jehoshaphat, Will you go with me to Ramoth-gilead to make war? And Jehoshaphat said to the king of Israel, I am as you are: my people as your people, my horses as your horses.

bbe@1Kings:22:6 @So the king of Israel got all the prophets together, about four hundred men, and said to them, Am I to go to Ramoth-gilead to make war or not? And they said, Go up: for the Lord will give it into the hands of the king.

bbe@1Kings:22:9 @Then the king of Israel sent for one of his unsexed servants and said, Go quickly and come back with Micaiah, the son of Imlah.

bbe@1Kings:22:10 @Now the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat, the king of Judah, were seated on their seats of authority, dressed in their robes, by the doorway into Samaria; and all the prophets were acting as prophets before them.

bbe@1Kings:22:11 @And Zedekiah, the son of Chenaanah, made himself horns of iron and said, The Lord says, Pushing back the Aramaeans with these, you will put an end to them completely.

bbe@1Kings:22:12 @And all the prophets said the same thing, saying, Go up to Ramoth-gilead, and it will go well for you, for the Lord will give it into the hands of the king.

bbe@1Kings:22:13 @Now the servant who had gone to get Micaiah said to him, See now, all the prophets with one voice are saying good things to the king; so let your words be like theirs and say good things.

bbe@1Kings:22:15 @When he came to the king, the king said to him, Micaiah, are we to go to Ramoth-gilead to make war or not? And in answer he said, Go up, and it will go well for you; and the Lord will give it into the hands of the king.

bbe@1Kings:22:17 @Then he said, I saw all Israel wandering on the mountains like sheep without a keeper; and the Lord said, These have no master: let them go back, every man to his house in peace.

bbe@1Kings:22:19 @And he said, Give ear now to the word of the Lord: I saw the Lord seated on his seat of power, with all the army of heaven in their places round him at his right hand and at his left.

bbe@1Kings:22:21 @Then a spirit came forward and took his place before the Lord and said, I will get him to do it by a trick.

bbe@1Kings:22:22 @And the Lord said, How? And he said, I will go out and be a spirit of deceit in the mouth of all his prophets. And he said, Your trick will have its effect on him: go out and do so.

bbe@1Kings:22:23 @And now, see, the Lord has put a spirit of deceit in the mouth of all these your prophets; and the Lord has said evil against you.

bbe@1Kings:22:24 @Then Zedekiah, the son of Chenaanah, came near and gave Micaiah a blow on the side of the face, saying, Where is the spirit of the Lord whose word is in you?

bbe@1Kings:22:27 @And say, It is the king's order that this man is to be put in prison and given prison food till I come again in peace.

bbe@1Kings:22:34 @And a certain man sent an arrow from his bow without thought of its direction, and gave the king of Israel a wound where his breastplate was joined to his clothing; so he said to the driver of his war-carriage, Go to one side and take me away out of the army, for I am badly wounded.

bbe@1Kings:22:35 @But the fight became more violent while the day went on; and the king was supported in his war-carriage facing the Aramaeans, and the floor of the carriage was covered with the blood from his wound, and by evening he was dead.

bbe@1Kings:22:40 @So Ahab was put to rest with his fathers; and Ahaziah his son became king in his place.

bbe@1Kings:22:43 @He did as Asa his father had done, not turning away from it, but doing what was right in the eyes of the Lord;

bbe@1Kings:22:45 @And Jehoshaphat made peace with the king of Israel.

bbe@1Kings:22:49 @And the representative of King Jehoshaphat made a Tarshish-ship to go to Ophir for gold, but it did not go, because it was broken at Ezion-geber.

bbe@1Kings:22:50 @Then Ahaziah, the son of Ahab, said to Jehoshaphat, Let my men go with yours in the ships. But Jehoshaphat would not let them.

bbe@1Kings:22:51 @Then Jehoshaphat went to rest with his fathers, and his body was put into the earth in the town of David his father; and Jehoram his son became king in his place.

bbe@2Kings:1:1 @After the death of Ahab, Moab made itself free from the authority of Israel.

bbe@2Kings:1:3 @But the angel of the Lord said to Elijah the Tishbite, Go now, and, meeting the men sent by the king of Samaria, say to them, Is it because there is no God in Israel, that you are going to get directions from Baal-zebub, the god of Ekron?

bbe@2Kings:1:6 @And they said to him, On our way we had a meeting with a man who said, Go back to the king who sent you and say to him, The Lord says, Is it because there is no God in Israel that you send to put a question to Baal-zebub, the god of Ekron? For this reason, you will not come down from the bed on to which you have gone up, but death will certainly come to you.

bbe@2Kings:1:7 @And he said to them, What sort of a man was it who came and said these words to you?

bbe@2Kings:1:8 @And they said in answer, He was a man clothed in a coat of hair, with a leather band about his body. Then he said, It is Elijah the Tishbite.

bbe@2Kings:1:9 @Then the king sent to him a captain of fifty with his fifty men; and he went up to him where he was seated on the top of a hill, and said to him, O man of God, the king has said, Come down.

bbe@2Kings:1:11 @Then the king sent another captain of fifty with his fifty men; and he said to Elijah, O man of God, the king says, Come down quickly.

bbe@2Kings:1:13 @Then he sent a third captain of fifty with his fifty men; and the third captain of fifty went up, and falling on his knees before Elijah, requesting mercy of him, said, O man of God, let my life and the life of these your fifty servants be of value to you.

bbe@2Kings:1:15 @Then the angel of the Lord said to Elijah, Go down with him; have no fear of him. So he got up and went down with him to the king.

bbe@2Kings:2:1 @Now when the Lord was about to take Elijah up to heaven in a great wind, Elijah went with Elisha from Gilgal.

bbe@2Kings:2:3 @And at Beth-el the sons of the prophets came out to Elisha and said, Has it been made clear to you that the Lord is going to take away your master from over you today? And he said, Yes, I have knowledge of it: say no more.

bbe@2Kings:2:5 @And at Jericho the sons of the prophets came up to Elisha and said to him, Has it been made clear to you that the Lord is going to take away your master from over you today? And he said in answer, Yes, I have knowledge of it: say no more.

bbe@2Kings:2:8 @Then Elijah took off his robe, and, rolling it up, gave the water a blow with it, and the waters were parted, flowing back this way and that, so that they went over on dry land.

bbe@2Kings:2:9 @And when they had come to the other side, Elijah said to Elisha, Say what you would have me do for you before I am taken from you. And Elisha said, Be pleased to let a special measure of your spirit be on me.

bbe@2Kings:2:10 @And he said, You have made a hard request: still, if you see me when I am taken from you, you will get your desire; but if not, it will not be so.

bbe@2Kings:2:12 @And when Elisha saw it he gave a cry, My father, my father, the carriages of Israel and its horsemen! And he saw him no longer; and he was full of grief.

bbe@2Kings:2:14 @And he took Elijah's robe, which had been dropped from him, and giving the water a blow with it, said, Where is the Lord, the God of Elijah? and at his blow the waters were parted this way and that; and Elisha went over.

bbe@2Kings:2:15 @And when the sons of the prophets who were facing him at Jericho saw him, they said, The spirit of Elijah is resting on Elisha. And they came out to him, and went down on the earth before him.

bbe@2Kings:2:16 @And they said, Your servants have with us here fifty strong men; be pleased to let them go in search of Elijah; for it may be that the spirit of the Lord has taken him up and put him down on some mountain or in some valley. But he said, Do not send them.

bbe@2Kings:2:17 @But when they kept on requesting him, he was shamed and said, Send, then. So they sent fifty men; but after searching for three days, they came back without having seen him.

bbe@2Kings:2:19 @Now the men of the town said to Elisha, You see that the position of this town is good; but the water is bad, causing the young of the cattle to come to birth dead.

bbe@2Kings:2:20 @So he said, Get me a new vessel, and put salt in it; and they took it to him.

bbe@2Kings:2:21 @Then he went out to the spring from which the water came, and put salt in it, and said, The Lord says, Now I have made this water sweet; no longer will it be death-giving or unfertile.

bbe@2Kings:2:23 @Then from there he went up to Beth-el; and on his way, some little boys came out from the town and made sport of him, crying, Go up, old no-hair! go up, old no-hair!

bbe@2Kings:3:5 @But when Ahab was dead, the king of Moab got free from the authority of the king of Israel.

bbe@2Kings:3:7 @And he sent to Jehoshaphat, king of Judah, saying, The king of Moab has got free from my authority: will you go with me to make war on Moab? And he said, I will go with you: I am as you are, my people as your people, and my horses as your horses.

bbe@2Kings:3:9 @So the king of Israel went with the king of Judah and the king of Edom by a roundabout way for seven days: and there was no water for the army or for the beasts they had with them.

bbe@2Kings:3:12 @And Jehoshaphat said, The word of the Lord is with him. So the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat and the king of Edom went down to him.

bbe@2Kings:3:13 @But Elisha said to the king of Israel, What have I to do with you? go to the prophets of your father and your mother. And the king of Israel said, No; for the Lord has got these three kings together to give them up into the hands of Moab.

bbe@2Kings:3:14 @Then Elisha said, By the life of the Lord of armies whose servant I am, if it was not for the respect I have for Jehoshaphat, king of Judah, I would not give a look at you, or see you.

bbe@2Kings:3:15 @But now, get me a player of music, and it will come about that while the man is playing, the hand of the Lord will come on me and I will give you the word of the Lord: and they got a player of music, and while the man was playing, the hand of the Lord was on him.

bbe@2Kings:3:18 @And this will be only a small thing to the Lord: in addition he will give the Moabites into your hands.

bbe@2Kings:3:19 @And you are to put every walled town to destruction, cutting down every good tree, and stopping up every water-spring, and making all the good land rough with stones.

bbe@2Kings:3:23 @Then they said, This is blood: it is clear that destruction has come on the kings; they have been fighting one another: now come, Moab, let us take their goods.

bbe@2Kings:3:24 @But when they came to the tents of Israel, the Israelites came out and made a violent attack on the Moabites, so that they went in flight before them; and they went forward still attacking them;

bbe@2Kings:3:25 @Pulling down the towns, covering every good field with stones, stopping up all the water-springs, and cutting down all the good trees; they went on driving Moab before them till only in Kir-hareseth were there any Moabites; and the fighting-men went round the town raining stones on it.

bbe@2Kings:3:26 @And when the king of Moab saw that the fight was going against him, he took with him seven hundred men armed with swords, with the idea of forcing a way through to the king of Aram, but they were not able to do so.

bbe@2Kings:4:1 @Now a certain woman, the wife of one of the sons of the prophets, came crying to Elisha and said, Your servant my husband is dead; and to your knowledge he was a worshipper of the Lord; but now, the creditor has come to take my two children as servants in payment of his debt.

bbe@2Kings:4:8 @Now there came a day when Elisha went to Shunem, and there was a woman of high position living there, who made him come in and have a meal with her. And after that, every time he went by, he went into her house for a meal.

bbe@2Kings:4:10 @So let us make a little room on the wall; and put a bed there for him, and a table and a seat and a light; so that when he comes to us, he will be able to go in there

bbe@2Kings:4:11 @Now one day, when he had gone there, he went into the little room and took his rest there.

bbe@2Kings:4:12 @And he said to Gehazi, his servant, Send for this Shunammite. So in answer to his voice she came before him.

bbe@2Kings:4:17 @Then the woman became with child and gave birth to a son at the time named, in the year after, as Elisha had said to her.

bbe@2Kings:4:23 @And he said, Why are you going to him today? it is not a new moon or a Sabbath. But she said, It is well.

bbe@2Kings:4:24 @Then she made the ass ready and said to her servant, Keep driving on; do not make a stop without orders from me.

bbe@2Kings:4:25 @So she went, and came to Mount Carmel, to the man of God. And when the man of God saw her coming in his direction, he said to Gehazi, his servant, See, there is the Shunammite;

bbe@2Kings:4:27 @And when she came to where the man of God was on the hill, she put her hands round his feet; and Gehazi came near with the purpose of pushing her away; but the man of God said, Let her be, for her soul is bitter in her; and the Lord has kept it secret from me, and has not given me word of it.

bbe@2Kings:4:30 @But the mother of the child said, As the Lord is living and as your soul is living, I will not go back without you. So he got up and went with her.

bbe@2Kings:4:36 @And he gave orders to Gehazi, and said, Send for the Shunammite. And she came in answer to his voice. And he said, Take up your son.

bbe@2Kings:4:38 @And Elisha went back to Gilgal, now there was very little food in the land; and the sons of the prophets were seated before him. And he said to his servant, Put the great pot on the fire, and make soup for the sons of the prophets.

bbe@2Kings:4:39 @And one went out into the field to get green plants and saw a vine of the field, and pulling off the fruit of it till the fold of his robe was full, he came back and put the fruit, cut up small, into the pot of soup, having no idea what it was.

bbe@2Kings:4:41 @But he said, Get some meal. And he put it into the pot, and said, Now give it to the people so that they may have food. And there was nothing bad in the pot.

bbe@2Kings:4:42 @Now a man came from Baal-shalishah with an offering of first-fruits for the man of God, twenty barley cakes and garden fruit in his bag. And he said, Give these to the people for food.

bbe@2Kings:4:43 @But his servant said, How am I to put this before a hundred men? But he said, Give it to the people for food; for the Lord says, There will be food for them and some over.

bbe@2Kings:4:44 @So he put it before them, and they had a meal and there was more than enough, as the Lord had said.

bbe@2Kings:5:1 @Now Naaman, chief of the army of the king of Aram, was a man of high position with his master, and greatly respected, because by him the Lord had given salvation to Aram; but he was a leper.

bbe@2Kings:5:2 @Now the Aramaeans had gone out in bands, and taken prisoner from Israel a little girl, who became servant to Naaman's wife.

bbe@2Kings:5:5 @So the king of Aram said, Go then; and I will send a letter to the king of Israel. And he went, taking with him ten talents of silver and six thousand shekels of gold, and ten changes of clothing.

bbe@2Kings:5:7 @But the king of Israel, after reading the letter, was greatly troubled and said, Am I God, to give death and life? why does this man send a leper to me to be made well? is it not clear that he is looking for a cause of war?

bbe@2Kings:5:9 @So Naaman, with all his horses and his carriages, came to the door of Elisha's house.

bbe@2Kings:5:10 @And Elisha sent a servant to him, saying, Go to Jordan, and after washing seven times in its waters your flesh will be well again and you will be clean.

bbe@2Kings:5:11 @But Naaman was angry and went away and said, I had the idea that he would come out to see such an important person as I am, and make prayer to the Lord his God, and with a wave of his hand over the place make the leper well.

bbe@2Kings:5:13 @Then his servants came to him and said, If the prophet had given you orders to do some great thing, would you not have done it? how much more then, when he says to you, Be washed and become clean?

bbe@2Kings:5:14 @Then he went down seven times into the waters of Jordan, as the man of God had said; and his flesh became like the flesh of a little child again, and he was clean.

bbe@2Kings:5:15 @Then he went back to the man of God, with all his train, and, taking his place before him, said, Now I am certain that there is no God in all the earth, but only in Israel: now then, take an offering from me.

bbe@2Kings:5:16 @But he said, By the life of the Lord whose servant I am, I will take nothing from you. And he did his best to make him take it but he would not.

bbe@2Kings:5:23 @And Naaman said, Be good enough to take two talents. And forcing him to take them, he put two talents of silver in two bags, with two changes of clothing, and gave them to his two servants to take before him.

bbe@2Kings:5:26 @And he said to him, Did not my heart go with you, when the man got down from his carriage and went back to you? Is this a time for getting money, and clothing, and olive-gardens and vine-gardens, and sheep and oxen, and men-servants and women-servants?

bbe@2Kings:5:27 @Because of what you have done, the disease of Naaman the leper will take you in its grip, and your seed after you, for ever. And he went out from before him a leper as white as snow.

bbe@2Kings:6:3 @And one of them said, Be pleased to go with your servants. And he said, I will go.

bbe@2Kings:6:4 @So he went with them. And when they came to Jordan, they got to work cutting down trees.

bbe@2Kings:6:5 @But one of them, while cutting a board, let the head of his axe go into the water; and he gave a cry, and said, This is a bad business, my master, for it is another's.

bbe@2Kings:6:6 @And the man of God said, Where did it go in? and when he saw the place where it had gone into the water, cutting a stick, he put it into the water, and the iron came up to the top of the water.

bbe@2Kings:6:7 @Then he said, Take it up. So he put out his hand and took it.

bbe@2Kings:6:8 @At that time the king of Aram was making war against Israel; and he had a meeting with the chiefs of his army and said, I will be waiting in secret in some named place.

bbe@2Kings:6:9 @And the man of God sent to the king of Israel, saying, Take care to keep away from that place, for the Aramaeans are waiting there in secret.

bbe@2Kings:6:10 @So the king of Israel sent to the place where the man of God had said there was danger, and kept clear of it more than once.

bbe@2Kings:6:15 @Now the servant of the man of God, having got up early and gone out, saw an army with horses and carriages of war all round the town. And the servant said to him, O my master, what are we to do?

bbe@2Kings:6:16 @And he said in answer, Have no fear; those who are with us are more than those who are with them.

bbe@2Kings:6:22 @But he said in answer, You are not to put them to death; have you any right to put to death those whom you have not taken prisoner with your sword and your bow? put bread and water before them, so that they may have food and drink and go to their master.

bbe@2Kings:6:24 @Now after this, Ben-hadad, king of Aram, got together all his army and went up to make an attack on Samaria, shutting the town in on all sides with his forces.

bbe@2Kings:6:25 @And they became very short of food in Samaria; for they kept it shut in till the price of an ass's head was eighty shekels of silver, and a small measure of doves' droppings was five shekels of silver.

bbe@2Kings:6:32 @But Elisha was in his house, and the responsible men were seated there with him; and before the king got there, Elisha said to those who were with him, Do you see how this cruel and violent man has sent to take away my life?

bbe@2Kings:6:33 @While he was still talking to them, the king came down and said, This evil is from the Lord; why am I to go on waiting any longer for the Lord?

bbe@2Kings:7:2 @Then the captain whose arm was supporting the king said to the man of God, Even if the Lord made windows in heaven, would such a thing be possible? And he said, Your eyes will see it, but you will not have a taste of the food.

bbe@2Kings:7:3 @Now there were four lepers seated at the doorway into the town: and they said to one another, Why are we waiting here for death?

bbe@2Kings:7:4 @If we say, We will go into the town, there is no food in the town, and we will come to our end there; and if we go on waiting here, death will come to us. Come then, let us give ourselves up to the army of Aram: if they let us go on living, then life will be ours; and if they put us to death, then death will be ours.

bbe@2Kings:7:6 @For the Lord had made the sound of carriages and horses, and the noise of a great army, come to the ears of the Aramaeans, so that they said to one another, Truly, the king of Israel has got the kings of the Hittites and of the Egyptians for a price to make an attack on us.

bbe@2Kings:7:7 @So they got up and went in flight, in the half light, without their tents or their horses or their asses or any of their goods; they went in flight, fearing for their lives.

bbe@2Kings:7:8 @And when those lepers came to the outer line of tents, they went into one tent, and had food and drink, and took from it silver and gold and clothing, which they put in a secret place; then they came back and went into another tent from which they took more goods, which they put away in a secret place.

bbe@2Kings:7:9 @Then they said to one another, We are not doing right. Today is a day of good news, and we say nothing: if we go on waiting here till the morning, punishment will come to us. So let us go and give the news to those of the king's house.

bbe@2Kings:7:12 @Then the king got up in the night and said to his servants, This is my idea of what the Aramaeans have done to us. They have knowledge that we are without food; and so they have gone out of their tents, and are waiting secretly in the open country, saying, When they come out of the town, we will take them living and get into the town.

bbe@2Kings:7:15 @And they went after them as far as Jordan; and all the road was covered with clothing and vessels dropped by the Aramaeans in their flight. So those who were sent went back and gave the news to the king.

bbe@2Kings:7:17 @And the king gave authority to that captain, on whose arm he was supported, to have control over the doorway into the town; but he was crushed to death there under the feet of the people, as the man of God had said when the king went down to him.

bbe@2Kings:7:19 @And that captain said to the man of God, Even if the Lord made windows in heaven, would such a thing be possible? And he said to him, Your eyes will see it, but you will not have a taste of the food.

bbe@2Kings:8:1 @Now Elisha had said to the woman whose son he had given back to life, Go now, with all the people of your house, and get a living-place for yourselves wherever you are able; for by the word of the Lord, there will be great need of food in the land; and this will go on for seven years.

bbe@2Kings:8:3 @And when the seven years were ended, the woman came back from the land of the Philistines and went to the king with a request for her house and her land.

bbe@2Kings:8:4 @Now the king was talking with Gehazi, the servant of the man of God, saying, Now, give me an account of all the great things Elisha has done.

bbe@2Kings:8:5 @And while he was giving the king the story of how Elisha had given life to the dead, the woman whose son had come back to life came to the king with a request for her house and her land. And Gehazi said, My lord king, this is the woman and this is her son, whose life Elisha gave back to him.

bbe@2Kings:8:8 @Then the king said to Hazael, Take an offering with you, and go to see the man of God and get directions from the Lord by him, saying, Am I going to get better from my disease?

bbe@2Kings:8:9 @So Hazael went to see him, taking with him forty camels with offerings on their backs of every sort of good thing from Damascus; and when he came before him, he said, Your son Ben-hadad, king of Aram, has sent me to you, saying, Will I get better from this disease?

bbe@2Kings:8:10 @And Elisha said to him, Go, say to him, You will certainly get better; but the Lord has made it clear to me that only death is before him.

bbe@2Kings:8:11 @And he kept his eyes fixed on him till he was shamed, and the man of God was overcome with weeping.

bbe@2Kings:8:12 @And Hazael said, Why is my lord weeping? Then he said in answer, Because I see the evil which you will do to the children of Israel: burning down their strong towns, putting their young men to death with the sword, smashing their little ones against the stones, and cutting open the women who are with child.

bbe@2Kings:8:13 @And Hazael said, How is it possible that your servant, who is only a dog, will do this great thing? And Elisha said, The Lord has made it clear to me that you will be king over Aram.

bbe@2Kings:8:15 @Now on the day after, Hazael took the bed-cover, and making it wet with water, put it over Ben-hadad's face, causing his death: and Hazael became king in his place.

bbe@2Kings:8:19 @But it was not the Lord's purpose to send destruction on Judah, because of David his servant, to whom he had given his word that he would have a light for ever.

bbe@2Kings:8:21 @Then Joram went over to Zair, with all his war-carriages;... made an attack by night on the Edomites, whose forces were all round him,... the captains of the war-carriages; and the people went in flight to their tents.

bbe@2Kings:8:22 @So Edom made themselves free from the rule of Judah to this day. And at the same time, Libnah made itself free.

bbe@2Kings:8:24 @And Joram went to rest with his fathers and was put into the earth with his fathers in the town of David: and Ahaziah his son became king in his place.

bbe@2Kings:8:28 @He went with Joram, the son of Ahab, to make war on Hazael, king of Aram, at Ramoth-gilead: and Joram was wounded by the Aramaeans.

bbe@2Kings:9:3 @Then take the bottle and put the oil on his head, and say, The Lord says, I have put the holy oil on you to make you king over Israel. Then, opening the door, go in flight, without waiting.

bbe@2Kings:9:10 @And Jezebel will become food for the dogs in the heritage of Jezreel, and there will be no one to put her body into the earth. Then, opening the door, he went in flight.

bbe@2Kings:9:13 @Then straight away everyone took his robe and put it under him on the top of the steps, and, sounding the horn, they said, Jehu is king.

bbe@2Kings:9:15 @But King Joram had gone back to Jezreel to get well from the wounds which the Aramaeans had given him when he was fighting against Hazael, king of Aram.) And Jehu said, If this is your purpose, then let no one get away and go out of the town to give news of it in Jezreel.

bbe@2Kings:9:17 @And the watchman on the tower in Jezreel saw Jehu and his band coming, and said, I see a band of people. And Joram said, Send out a horseman to them, and let him say, Is it peace?

bbe@2Kings:9:18 @So a horseman went out to them and said, The king says, Is it peace? And Jehu said, What have you to do with peace? come after me. And the watchman gave them word, saying, The horseman went up to them, but has not come back.

bbe@2Kings:9:19 @Then he sent out a second horseman, who came up to them and said, The king says, Is it peace? And Jehu said in answer, What have you to do with peace? come after me.

bbe@2Kings:9:21 @Then Joram said, Make ready. So they made his carriage ready; and Joram, king of Israel, with Ahaziah, king of Judah, went out in their carriages for the purpose of meeting Jehu; and they came face to face with him at the field of Naboth the Jezreelite.

bbe@2Kings:9:22 @Now when Joram saw Jehu he said, Is it peace, Jehu? And he said in answer, What peace is possible while all the land is full of the disgusting sins of your mother Jezebel, and her secret arts?

bbe@2Kings:9:23 @Then Joram, turning his horses in flight, said to Ahaziah, Broken faith, O Ahaziah!

bbe@2Kings:9:24 @Then Jehu took his bow in his hand, and with all his strength sent an arrow, wounding Joram between the arms; and the arrow came out at his heart, and he went down on his face in his carriage.

bbe@2Kings:9:25 @Then Jehu said to Bidkar, his captain, Take him up, and put him in the field of Naboth the Jezreelite: for is not that day in your memory when you and I together on our horses were going after Ahab, his father, and the Lord put this fate on him, saying:

bbe@2Kings:9:28 @And his servants took him in a carriage to Jerusalem, and put him into the earth with his fathers in the town of David.

bbe@2Kings:9:30 @And when Jehu came to Jezreel, Jezebel had news of it; and, painting her eyes and dressing her hair with ornaments, she put her head out of the window.

bbe@2Kings:9:33 @And he said, Take her and put her out of the window. So they sent her down with force, and her blood went in a shower on the wall and on the horses; and she was crushed under their feet.

bbe@2Kings:9:36 @So they came back and gave him word of it. And he said, This is what the Lord said by his servant Elijah the Tishbite, saying, In the heritage of Jezreel the flesh of Jezebel will become food for dogs;

bbe@2Kings:9:37 @And the dead body of Jezebel will be like waste dropped on the face of the earth in the heritage of Jezreel; so that they will not be able to say, This is Jezebel.

bbe@2Kings:10:2 @Straight away, when you get this letter, seeing that your master's sons are with you, and that you have carriages and horses and a walled town and arms;

bbe@2Kings:10:5 @So the controller of the king's house, with the ruler of the town, and the responsible men, and those who had the care of Ahab's sons, sent to Jehu, saying, We are your servants and will do all your orders; we will not make any man king; do whatever seems best to you.

bbe@2Kings:10:6 @Then he sent them a second letter, saying, If you are on my side, and if you will do my orders, come to me at Jezreel by this time tomorrow, with the heads of your master's sons. Now the king's seventy sons were with the great men of the town, who had the care of them.

bbe@2Kings:10:8 @And a man came and said to him, They have come with the heads of the king's sons. And he said, Put them down in two masses at the doorway of the town till the morning.

bbe@2Kings:10:9 @And in the morning he went out and, stopping, said to all the people there, You are upright men: it is true that I made designs against my master, and put him to death; but who is responsible for the death of all these?

bbe@2Kings:10:10 @You may be certain that nothing which the Lord has said about the family of Ahab will be without effect; for the Lord has done what he said by his servant Elijah.

bbe@2Kings:10:15 @And when he had gone away from there, he came across Jehonadab, the son of Rechab: and he said good-day to him, and said to him, Is your heart true to mine, as mine is to yours? And Jehonadab in answer said, It is; and Jehu said, If it is, give me your hand. And he gave him his hand, and he made him come up into his carriage.

bbe@2Kings:10:16 @And he said, Come with me and see how I am on fire for the Lord's cause. So he made him go with him in his carriage.

bbe@2Kings:10:19 @Now send for all the prophets of Baal and all his servants and all his priests, to come to me; let no one keep away: for I have a great offering to make to Baal; anyone who is not present, will be put to death. This Jehu did with deceit, his purpose being the destruction of the servants of Baal.

bbe@2Kings:10:21 @And Jehu sent out through all Israel; and all the servants of Baal came, not one kept away. And they came into the house of Baal, so that it was full from end to end.

bbe@2Kings:10:23 @And Jehu, with Jehonadab, the son of Rechab, went into the house of Baal; and he said to the servants of Baal, Make a search with care, to see that no servant of the Lord is with you, but only servants of Baal.

bbe@2Kings:10:26 @And they took out the image of Asherah from the house of Baal, and had it burned.

bbe@2Kings:10:27 @The altar of Baal was pulled down and the house of Baal was broken up and made an unclean place, as it is to this day.

bbe@2Kings:10:31 @But Jehu did not take care to keep the law of the Lord with all his heart: he did not keep himself from the sin which Jeroboam did and made Israel do.

bbe@2Kings:10:32 @In those days the Lord was angry first with Israel; and Hazael made attacks on all the land of Israel,

bbe@2Kings:10:33 @East of Jordan, in all the land of Gilead, the Gadites and the Reubenites and the Manassites, from Aroer by the valley of the Arnon, all Gilead and Bashan.

bbe@2Kings:10:35 @And Jehu went to rest with his fathers, and was put into the earth in Samaria. And Jehoahaz his son became king in his place.

bbe@2Kings:11:2 @But Jehosheba, the daughter of King Joram, sister of Ahaziah, secretly took Joash, the son of Ahaziah, with the woman who took care of him, away from among the king's sons who were put to death, and put him in the bedroom; and they kept him safe from Athaliah, so that he was not put to death.

bbe@2Kings:11:4 @Then in the seventh year, Jehoiada sent for the captains of hundreds of the Carians, and the armed men, and taking them into the house of the Lord, made an agreement with them, and made them take an oath in the house of the Lord, and let them see the king's son.

bbe@2Kings:11:8 @Will make a circle round the king, every man being armed; and whoever comes inside your lines is to be put to death; keep with the king, when he goes out and when he comes in.

bbe@2Kings:11:9 @And the captains of hundreds did as Jehoiada the priest gave them orders; every one took with him his men, those who came in and those who went out on the Sabbath, and they came in to Jehoiada the priest.

bbe@2Kings:11:11 @Then the armed men took up their positions, every man with his instruments of war in his hand, from the right side of the house to the left, round about the altar and the house

bbe@2Kings:11:12 @Then he made the king's son come out, and put the crown on him and the arm-bands, and made him king, and put the holy oil on him; and they all, making sounds of joy with their hands, said, Long life to the king.

bbe@2Kings:11:14 @And looking, she saw the king in his regular place by the pillar, and the captains and the horns near him; and all the people of the land giving signs of joy and sounding the horns. Then Athaliah, violently parting her robes, gave a cry, saying, Broken faith, broken faith!

bbe@2Kings:11:15 @Then Jehoiada the priest gave orders to those who were placed in authority over the army, saying, Take her outside the lines, and let anyone who goes after her be put to death with the sword, for he said, Let her not be put to death in the house of the Lord.

bbe@2Kings:11:18 @Then all the people of the land went to the house of Baal and had it pulled down: its altars and images were all broken to bits, and Mattan, the priest of Baal, they put to death before the altars. And the priest put overseers over the Lord's house.

bbe@2Kings:11:19 @Then he took the captains of hundreds, and the Carians, and the armed men, and all the people of the land; and they came down with the king from the house of the Lord, through the doorway of the armed men, to the king's house. And he took his place on the seat of the kings.

bbe@2Kings:11:20 @So all the people of the land were glad, and the town was quiet; and they had put Athaliah to death with the sword at the king's house.

bbe@2Kings:12:5 @Let the priests take, every man from his friends and neighbours, to make good what is damaged in the house, wherever it is to be seen.

bbe@2Kings:12:9 @But Jehoiada the priest took a chest, and making a hole in the cover of it, put it by the altar, on the right side when one comes into the house of the Lord; and the priests who kept the door put in it regularly all the money which was taken into the house of the Lord.

bbe@2Kings:12:10 @And when they saw that there was much money in the chest, the king's scribe and the high priest came and put it in bags, noting the amount of all the money there was in the house of the Lord.

bbe@2Kings:15:20 @And Menahem got the money from Israel, from all the men of wealth, fifty silver shekels from every man, to give to the king of Assyria. So the king of Assyria went back without stopping in the land.

bbe@2Kings:15:22 @And Menahem went to rest with his fathers; and Pekahiah his son became king in his place.

bbe@2Kings:15:25 @And Pekah, the son of Remaliah, his captain, made a secret design against him, attacking him in the king's great house in Samaria; and with him were fifty men of Gilead; and he put him to death and became king in his place.

bbe@2Kings:15:38 @And Jotham went to rest with his fathers, and was put into the earth in the town of David his father; and Ahaz his son became king in his place.

bbe@2Kings:16:6 @At that time the king of Edom got Elath back for Edom, and sent the Jews out of Elath; and the Edomites came back to Elath where they are living to this day.

bbe@2Kings:16:9 @And the king of Assyria, in answer to his request, went up against Damascus and took it, and took its people away as prisoners to Kir, and put Rezin to death.

bbe@2Kings:16:10 @Then King Ahaz went to Damascus for a meeting with Tiglath-pileser, king of Assyria; and there he saw the altar which was at Damascus; and King Ahaz sent to Urijah the priest a copy of the altar, giving the design of it and all the details of its structure.

bbe@2Kings:16:11 @And from the copy King Ahaz sent from Damascus, Urijah made an altar and had it ready by the time King Ahaz came back from Damascus.

bbe@2Kings:16:12 @And when the king came from Damascus, he saw the altar; and he went up on it and made an offering on it.

bbe@2Kings:16:14 @And the brass altar, which was before the Lord, he took from the front of the house, from between his altar and the house of the Lord, and put it on the north side of his altar.

bbe@2Kings:16:15 @And King Ahaz gave orders to Urijah the priest, saying, Make the morning burned offering and the evening meal offering and the king's burned offering and meal offering, with the burned offerings of all the people and their meal offerings and drink offerings, on the great altar, and put on it all the blood of the burned offerings and of the beasts which are offered; but the brass altar will be for my use to get directions from the Lord.

bbe@2Kings:16:17 @And King Ahaz took off the sides of the wheeled bases, and took down the great water-vessel from off the brass oxen which were under it and put it on a floor of stone.

bbe@2Kings:16:20 @And Ahaz went to rest with his fathers, and was put into the earth with his fathers in the town of David; and Hezekiah his son became king in his place.

bbe@2Kings:17:4 @But Hoshea's broken faith became clear to the king of Assyria because he had sent representatives to So, king of Egypt, and did not send his offering to the king of Assyria, as he had done year by year: so the king of Assyria had him shut up in prison and put in chains.

bbe@2Kings:17:5 @Then the king of Assyria went through all the land and came up to Samaria, shutting it in with his forces for three years.

bbe@2Kings:17:13 @And he gave witness to Israel and Judah, by every prophet and seer, saying, Come back from your evil ways, and do my orders and keep my rules, and be guided by the law which I gave to your fathers and sent to you by my servants the prophets.

bbe@2Kings:17:14 @And they did not give ear, but became stiff-necked, like their fathers who had no faith in the Lord their God.

bbe@2Kings:17:15 @And they went against his rules, and the agreement which he made with their fathers, and his laws which he gave them; they gave themselves up to things without sense or value, and became foolish like the nations round them, of whom the Lord had said, Do not as they do.

bbe@2Kings:17:18 @So the Lord was very angry with Israel, and his face was turned away from them: only the tribe of Judah kept its place.

bbe@2Kings:17:20 @So the Lord would have nothing to do with all the offspring of Israel, and sent trouble on them, and gave them up into the hands of their attackers, till he had sent them away from before his face.)

bbe@2Kings:17:22 @And the children of Israel went on with all the sins which Jeroboam did; they did not keep themselves from them;

bbe@2Kings:17:24 @Then the king of Assyria took men from Babylon and from Cuthah and Avva and Hamath and Sepharvaim, and put them in the towns of Samaria in place of the children of Israel; so they got Samaria for their heritage, living in its towns.

bbe@2Kings:17:29 @And every nation made gods for themselves, and put them in the houses of the high places which the Samaritans had made, every nation in the towns where they were living.

bbe@2Kings:17:31 @The Avvites made Nibhaz and Tartak, and the Sepharvites gave their children to be burned in the fire to Adrammelech and Anammelech, the gods of Sepharvaim.

bbe@2Kings:17:35 @And the Lord made an agreement with them and gave them orders, saying, You are to have no other gods; you are not to give worship to them or be their servants or make them offerings:

bbe@2Kings:17:36 @But the Lord, who took you out of the land of Egypt with his great power and his outstretched arm, he is your God, to whom you are to give worship and make offerings:

bbe@2Kings:17:37 @And the rules and the orders and the law which he put in writing for you, you are to keep and do for ever; you are to have no other gods.

bbe@2Kings:17:38 @And you are to keep in memory the agreement which I have made with you; and you are to have no other gods.

bbe@2Kings:17:39 @And you are to give worship to the Lord your God; for it is he who will give you salvation from the hands of all who are against you.

bbe@2Kings:18:4 @He had the high places taken away, and the stone pillars broken to bits, and the Asherah cut down; and the brass snake which Moses had made was crushed to powder at his order, because in those days the children of Israel had offerings burned before it, and he gave it the name Nehushtan.

bbe@2Kings:18:5 @He had faith in the Lord, the God of Israel; so that there was no one like him among all the kings of Judah who were before him.

bbe@2Kings:18:7 @And the Lord was with him; he did well in all his undertakings: and he took up arms against the king of Assyria and was his servant no longer.

bbe@2Kings:18:8 @He overcame the Philistines as far as Gaza and its limits, from the tower of the watchman to the walled town.

bbe@2Kings:18:9 @Now in the fourth year of King Hezekiah, which was the seventh year of Hoshea, son of Elah, king of Israel, Shalmaneser, king of Assyria, came up against Samaria, shutting it in with his armies.

bbe@2Kings:18:10 @And at the end of three years they took it; in the sixth year of Hezekiah's rule, which was the ninth year of Hoshea, king of Israel, Samaria was taken

bbe@2Kings:18:12 @Because they did not give ear to the voice of the Lord their God, but went against his agreement, even against everything ordered by Moses, the servant of the Lord, and they did not give ear to it or do it.

bbe@2Kings:18:16 @And at that time Hezekiah had the gold from the doors of the Lord's house, and from the door-pillars plated by him, cut off and gave it to the king of Assyria.

bbe@2Kings:18:17 @Then the king of Assyria sent the Tartan and the Rab-saris and the Rab-shakeh from Lachish to Jerusalem, to King Hezekiah, with a strong force. And they went up and came to Jerusalem, and took up their position by the stream of the higher pool, by the highway of the washerman's field.

bbe@2Kings:18:20 @You say you have a design, and strength for war, but these are only words. Now to whom are you looking for support, that you have gone against my authority?

bbe@2Kings:18:21 @See, now, you are basing your hope on that broken rod of Egypt, which will go through a man's hand if he makes use of it for a support; for so is Pharaoh, king of Egypt, to all who put their faith in him.

bbe@2Kings:18:22 @And if you say to me, Our hope is in the Lord our God: is it not he, whose high places and altars Hezekiah has taken away, saying to Judah and Jerusalem that worship may only be given before this altar in Jerusalem?

bbe@2Kings:18:23 @And now, take a chance with my master, the king of Assyria, and I will give you two thousand horses, if you are able to put horsemen on them.

bbe@2Kings:18:25 @And have I now come up to send destruction on this place without the Lord's authority? It was the Lord himself who said to me, Go up against this land and make it waste.

bbe@2Kings:18:26 @Then Eliakim, the son of Hilkiah, and Shebna and Joah said to the Rab-shakeh, Will you kindly make use of the Aramaean language in talking to your servants, for we are used to it, and do not make use of the Jews' language in the hearing of the people on the wall.

bbe@2Kings:18:27 @But the Rab-shakeh said to them, Is it to your master or to you that my master has sent me to say these words? has he not sent me to the men seated on the wall? for they are the people who will be short of food with you when the town is shut in.

bbe@2Kings:18:28 @Then the Rab-shakeh got up and said with a loud voice in the Jews' language, Give ear to the words of the great king, the king of Assyria;

bbe@2Kings:18:30 @And do not let Hezekiah make you put your faith in the Lord, saying, The Lord will certainly keep us safe, and this town will not be given into the hands of the king of Assyria.

bbe@2Kings:18:31 @Do not give ear to Hezekiah, for this is what the king of Assyria says: Make peace with me and come out to me; and everyone will be free to take the fruit of his vine and of his fig-tree, and the water of his spring;

bbe@2Kings:18:37 @Then Eliakim, the son of Hilkiah, who was over the house, and Shebna the scribe, and Joah, the son of Asaph, the recorder, came to Hezekiah, with their clothing parted as a sign of grief, and gave him an account of what the Rab-shakeh had said.

bbe@2Kings:19:1 @And on hearing it, King Hezekiah took off his robe, and put on haircloth, and went into the house of the Lord.

bbe@2Kings:19:4 @It may be that the Lord your God will give ear to the words of the Rab-shakeh, whom the king of Assyria, his master, sent to say evil things against the living God, and will make his words come to nothing: so then make your prayer for the rest of the people.

bbe@2Kings:19:7 @See, I will put a spirit into him, and bad news will come to his ears, and he will go back to his land; and there I will have him put to death by the sword.

bbe@2Kings:19:8 @So the Rab-shakeh went back, and when he got there the king of Assyria was making war against Libnah, for it had come to his ears that he had gone away from Lachish.

bbe@2Kings:19:10 @This is what you are to say to Hezekiah, king of Judah: Let not your God, in whom is your faith, give you a false hope, saying, Jerusalem will not be given into the hands of the king of Assyria

bbe@2Kings:19:14 @And Hezekiah took the letter from the hands of those who had come with it; and after reading it, Hezekiah went up to the house of the Lord, opening the letter there before the Lord.

bbe@2Kings:19:19 @But now, O Lord our God, give us salvation from his hands, so that it may be clear to all the kingdoms of the earth that you and only you, O Lord, are God.

bbe@2Kings:19:22 @Against whom have you said evil and bitter things? against whom has your voice been loud and your eyes lifted up? even against the Holy One of Israel.

bbe@2Kings:19:23 @You have sent your servants with evil words against the Lord, and have said, With all my war-carriages I have come up to the top of the mountains, to the inmost parts of Lebanon; its tall cedars will be cut down, and the best trees of its woods; I will come up into his highest places, into his thick woods.

bbe@2Kings:19:24 @I have made water-holes and taken their waters, and with my foot I have made all the rivers of Egypt dry.

bbe@2Kings:19:25 @Has it not come to your ears how I did it long before, purposing it in times long past? Now I have given effect to my design, so that by you strong towns might be turned into masses of broken walls.

bbe@2Kings:19:29 @And this will be the sign to you: you will get your food this year from what comes up of itself; and in the second year from the produce of the same; and in the third year you will put in your seed and get in the grain and make vine-gardens and take of their fruit.

bbe@2Kings:19:30 @And those of Judah who are still living will again take root in the earth and give fruit.

bbe@2Kings:19:32 @For this cause the Lord says about the king of Assyria, He will not come into this town, or send an arrow against it; he will not come before it with arms, or put up an earthwork against it;

bbe@2Kings:19:37 @And it came about, when he was worshipping in the house of Nisroch his god, that his sons Adrammelech and Sharezer put him to death with the sword; and they went in flight into the land of Ararat. And Esar-haddon his son became king in his place.

bbe@2Kings:20:3 @O Lord, keep in mind how I have been true to you with all my heart, and have done what is good in your eyes. And Hezekiah gave way to bitter weeping.

bbe@2Kings:20:7 @Then Isaiah said, Take a cake of figs. So they took it and put it on his wound, and he got better.

bbe@2Kings:20:10 @And Hezekiah said in answer, It is a simple thing for the shade to go forward; but let it go back ten degrees.

bbe@2Kings:20:11 @Then Isaiah the prophet made prayer to the Lord, and he made the shade go back ten degrees from its position on the steps of Ahaz.

bbe@2Kings:20:12 @At that time, Merodach-baladan, the son of Baladan, king of Babylon, sent letters with an offering to Hezekiah, because he had news that Hezekiah had been ill

bbe@2Kings:20:21 @And Hezekiah went to rest with his fathers; and Manasseh his son became king in his place.

bbe@2Kings:21:6 @And he made his son go through the fire, and made use of secret arts and signs for reading the future; he gave positions to those who had control of spirits and to wonder-workers; he did much evil in the eyes of the Lord, moving him to wrath.

bbe@2Kings:21:11 @Because Manasseh, king of Judah, has done these disgusting things, doing more evil than all the Amorites before him, and making Judah do evil with his false gods,

bbe@2Kings:21:13 @And over Jerusalem will be stretched the line of Samaria and the weight of Ahab; Jerusalem will be washed clean as a plate is washed, and turned over on its face.

bbe@2Kings:21:14 @And I will put away from me the rest of my heritage, and give them up into the hands of their haters, who will take their property and their goods for themselves;

bbe@2Kings:21:16 @More than this, Manasseh took the lives of upright men, till Jerusalem from one end to the other was full of blood; in addition to his sin in making Judah do evil in the eyes of the Lord.

bbe@2Kings:21:18 @So Manasseh went to rest with his fathers, and was put into the earth in the garden of his house, in the garden of Uzza; and Amon his son became king in his place.

bbe@2Kings:22:2 @He did what was right in the eyes of the Lord, walking in the ways of David his father, without turning to the right hand or to the left.

bbe@2Kings:22:5 @And let it be given to the overseers of the work of the Lord's house, to give to the workmen who are making good what was damaged in the house of the Lord;

bbe@2Kings:22:7 @They did not have to give any account of the money which was handed to them, for they made use of it with good faith.

bbe@2Kings:22:8 @Then Hilkiah, the chief priest, said to Shaphan the scribe, I have made discovery of the book of the law in the house of the Lord. So Hilkiah gave it to Shaphan;

bbe@2Kings:22:9 @Then, after reading it, Shaphan the scribe went in to the king and gave him an account of what had been done, saying, Your servants have given out the money which was in the house, and have given it to the overseers of the work of the house of the Lord.

bbe@2Kings:22:10 @Then Shaphan the scribe said to the king, Hilkiah the priest has given me a book; and he was reading it before the king.

bbe@2Kings:22:11 @And the king, hearing the words of the book of the law, took his robe in his hands, violently parting it as a sign of his grief;

bbe@2Kings:22:13 @Go and get directions from the Lord for me and for the people and for all Judah, about the words of this book which has come to light; for great is the wrath of the Lord which is burning against us, because our fathers have not given ear to the words of this book, to do all the things which are recorded in it.

bbe@2Kings:22:14 @So Hilkiah the priest, and Ahikam and Achbor and Shaphan and Asaiah, went to Huldah the woman prophet, the wife of Shallum, the son of Tikvah, the son of Harhas, keeper of the robes, (now she was living in Jerusalem, in the second part of the town;) and they had talk with her.

bbe@2Kings:22:16 @These are the words of the Lord: See, I will send evil on this place and on its people, even everything which the king of Judah has been reading in the book;

bbe@2Kings:22:19 @Because your heart was soft, and you made yourself low before me, when you had word of what I said against this place and its people, that they would become a waste and a curse, and you gave signs of grief, weeping before me: truly, I have given ear to you, says the Lord.

bbe@2Kings:23:2 @And the king went up to the house of the Lord, with all the men of Judah and all the people of Jerusalem, and the priests and the prophets and all the people, small and great; and they were present at his reading of the book of the law which had come to light in the house of the Lord.

bbe@2Kings:23:3 @And the king took his place by the pillar, and made an agreement before the Lord, to go in the way of the Lord, and keep his orders and his decisions and his rules with all his heart and all his soul, and to keep the words of the agreement recorded in the book; and all the people gave their word to keep the agreement.

bbe@2Kings:23:5 @And he put an end to the false priests, who had been put in their positions by the kings of Judah to see to the burning of offerings in the high places in the towns of Judah and the outskirts of Jerusalem, and all those who made offerings to Baal and to the sun and the moon and the twelve signs and all the stars of heaven.

bbe@2Kings:23:6 @And he took the Asherah from the house of the Lord, outside Jerusalem to the stream Kidron, burning it by the stream and crushing it to dust, and he put the dust on the place where the bodies of the common people were put to rest.

bbe@2Kings:23:8 @And he made all the priests from the towns of Judah come into Jerusalem, and he made unclean the high places where the priests had been burning offerings, from Geba to Beer-sheba; and he had the high places of the evil spirits pulled down which were by the doorway of Joshua, the ruler of the town, on the left side of the way into the town.

bbe@2Kings:23:12 @And the altars on the roof of the high room of Ahaz, which the kings of Judah had made, and the altars which Manasseh had made in the two outer squares of the house of the Lord, were pulled down and crushed to bits, and the dust of them was put into the stream Kidron.

bbe@2Kings:23:14 @The stone pillars were broken to bits and the wood pillars cut down, and the places where they had been were made full of the bones of the dead.

bbe@2Kings:23:16 @Then Josiah, turning round, saw on the mountain the places of the dead, and he sent and had the bones taken out of their places and burned on the altar, so making it unclean, as the Lord had said by the man of God when Jeroboam was in his place by the altar on that feast-day. And he, turning his eyes to the resting-place of the man of God who had given word of these things, said:

bbe@2Kings:23:17 @What is that headstone I see over there? And the men of the town said to him, It is the resting-place of the man of God who came from Judah and gave word of all these things which you have done to the altar of Beth-el.

bbe@2Kings:23:19 @Then Josiah took away all the houses of the high places in the towns of Samaria, which the kings of Israel had put up, moving the Lord to wrath, and he did with them as he had done in Beth-el.

bbe@2Kings:23:21 @And the king gave orders to all the people, saying, Keep the Passover to the Lord your God, as it says in this book of the law.

bbe@2Kings:23:24 @And all those who had control of spirits, and the wonder-workers, and the images, and the false gods, and all the disgusting things which were seen in the land of Judah and in Jerusalem, Josiah put away, so that he might give effect to the words of the agreement recorded in the book which Hilkiah the priest made discovery of in the house of the Lord.

bbe@2Kings:23:25 @Never before had there been a king like him, turning to the Lord with all his heart and with all his soul and with all his power, as the law of Moses says; and after him there was no king like him.

bbe@2Kings:23:27 @And the Lord said, I will send Judah away from before my face, as I have sent Israel; I will have nothing more to do with this town, which I had made mine, even Jerusalem, and the holy house of which I said, My name will be there.

bbe@2Kings:24:2 @And the Lord sent against him bands of the Chaldaeans and of the Edomites and of the Moabites and of the children of Ammon; sending them against Judah for its destruction, as he had said by his servants the prophets.

bbe@2Kings:24:4 @And because of the death of those who had done no wrong, for he made Jerusalem full of the blood of the upright; and the Lord had no forgiveness for it.

bbe@2Kings:24:6 @So Jehoiakim went to rest with his fathers; and Jehoiachin his son became king in his place.

bbe@2Kings:24:12 @Then Jehoiachin, king of Judah, went out to the king of Babylon, with his mother and his servants and his chiefs and his unsexed servants; and in the eighth year of his rule the king of Babylon took him.

bbe@1Chronicles:5:10 @And in the days of Saul they made war on the Hagarites, and overcame them; and they put up their tents through all the land east of Gilead.

bbe@1Chronicles:5:19 @And they went to war against the Hagarites, with Jetur and Naphish and Nodab.

bbe@1Chronicles:5:20 @And they were helped against them, so that the Hagarites, and those with them, were given into their power. For they sent up prayers to God in the fight, and he gave ear to them, because they put their faith in him.

bbe@1Chronicles:5:26 @And the God of Israel put an impulse into the heart of Pul, king of Assyria, and of Tiglath-pileser, king of Assyria, who took them away as prisoners, all the Reubenites and the Gadites and the half-tribe of Manasseh, to Halah and Habor and Hara and to the river of Gozan, to this day.

bbe@1Chronicles:7:11 @All these were the sons of Jediael, by the heads of their families, seventeen thousand, two hundred men of war, able to go out with the army for war.

bbe@1Chronicles:7:23 @After that, he had connection with his wife, and she became with child and gave birth to a son, to whom his father gave the name of Beriah, because trouble had come on his family.

bbe@1Chronicles:9:20 @In the past Phinehas, the son of Eleazar, had been ruler over them; may the Lord be with him!

bbe@1Chronicles:9:22 @There were two hundred and twelve whose business it was to keep the doorway. These were listed by families in the country places where they were living, whom David and Samuel the seer put in their responsible positions.

bbe@1Chronicles:9:25 @And their brothers, in the country places where they were living, were to come in every seven days to be with them from time to time.

bbe@1Chronicles:9:26 @For the four chief door-keepers, who were Levites, had a special position, looking after the rooms and the store-houses of the house of God.

bbe@1Chronicles:9:27 @Their sleeping-rooms were round the house of God, for they had the care of it, and were responsible for opening it morning by morning.

bbe@1Chronicles:9:31 @And Mattithiah, one of the Levites, the oldest son of Shallum the Korahite, was responsible for cooking the flat cakes.

bbe@1Chronicles:9:32 @And some of their brothers, sons of the Kohathites, were responsible for the holy bread which was put in order before the Lord, to get it ready every Sabbath.

bbe@1Chronicles:9:33 @And these were those who had the ordering of the music and songs, heads of families of the Levites, who were living in the rooms, and were free from other work, for their work went on day and night.

bbe@1Chronicles:9:34 @These were heads of families of the Levites in their generations, chief men; they were living at Jerusalem.

bbe@1Chronicles:9:38 @Mikloth was the father of Shimeam. They were living with their brothers in Jerusalem opposite their brothers.

bbe@1Chronicles:9:41 @And the sons of Micah: Pithon and Melech and Tahrea and Ahaz.

bbe@1Chronicles:10:4 @Then Saul said to the servant who had the care of his arms, Take your sword and put it through me, before these men without circumcision come and make sport of me. But his servant, full of fear, would not do so. Then Saul took out his sword, falling on it himself.

bbe@1Chronicles:10:13 @So death came to Saul because of the sin which he did against the Lord, that is, because of the word of the Lord which he kept not; and because he went for directions to one who had an evil spirit,

bbe@1Chronicles:11:2 @In the past, when Saul was king, it was you who went at the head of Israel when they went out or came in; and the Lord your God said to you, You are to be the keeper of my people Israel, and their ruler.

bbe@1Chronicles:11:3 @So all the responsible men of Israel came to the king at Hebron; and David made an agreement with them in Hebron before the Lord; and they put the holy oil on David and made him king over Israel, as the Lord had said by Samuel.

bbe@1Chronicles:11:4 @Then David and all Israel went to Jerusalem (which is Jebus); and the Jebusites, the people of the land, were there.

bbe@1Chronicles:11:6 @And David said, The first to overcome the Jebusites will be chief and captain. And Joab, the son of Zeruiah, went up first, and became chief.

bbe@1Chronicles:11:7 @And David took the strong tower for his living-place, so it was named the town of David.

bbe@1Chronicles:11:9 @And David became greater and greater in power, because the Lord of armies was with him.

bbe@1Chronicles:11:10 @Now these are the chief of David's men of war who were his strong supporters in the kingdom, and, with all Israel, made him king, as the Lord had said about Israel.

bbe@1Chronicles:11:11 @This is the list of David's men of war: Ishbaal, the son of a Hachmonite, the chief of the three: he put to death three hundred at one time with his spear

bbe@1Chronicles:11:12 @And after him was Eleazar, the son of Dodo the Ahohite, who was one of the three great fighters.

bbe@1Chronicles:11:13 @He was with David at Pas-dammim, where the Philistines had come together for the fight, near a bit of land full of barley; and the people went in flight before the Philistines.

bbe@1Chronicles:11:14 @And he took up his position in the middle of the bit of land, and kept back their attack, and overcame the Philistines; and the Lord gave a great salvation.

bbe@1Chronicles:11:15 @And three of the thirty went down to David, to the rock, into the strong place of Adullam; and the army of the Philistines had taken up their position in the valley of Rephaim.

bbe@1Chronicles:11:18 @So the three, forcing a way through the Philistine army, got water from the water-hole of Beth-lehem, by the doorway into the town, and took it back to David; but David would not take it, but made an offering of it, draining it out to the Lord,

bbe@1Chronicles:11:19 @Saying, By my God, far be it from me to do this! How may I take as drink the life-blood of these men who have put their lives in danger? so he did not take it. These things did the three great men of war.

bbe@1Chronicles:11:20 @And Abishai, the brother of Joab, was chief of the thirty, for he put to death three hundred with his spear, but he had not a name among the three.

bbe@1Chronicles:11:23 @And he made an attack on an Egyptian, a very tall man about five cubits high, armed with a spear like a cloth-worker's rod; he went down to him with a stick, and pulling his spear out of the hand of the Egyptian, put him to death with that same spear.

bbe@1Chronicles:12:19 @And some of the men of Manasseh came over to David, when he went with the Philistines to the war against Saul, but he gave them no help: for the lords of the Philistines, after discussion, sent him away, saying, He will go back to his master Saul, at the price of our lives.

bbe@1Chronicles:13:1 @Then David had discussions with the captains of thousands and the captains of hundreds and with every chief.

bbe@1Chronicles:13:2 @And David said to all the men of Israel who had come together there, If it seems good to you and if it is the purpose of the Lord our God, let us send to all the rest of our brothers, everywhere in the land of Israel, and to the priests and the Levites in their towns and the country round them, and get them to come together here to us;

bbe@1Chronicles:13:3 @And let us get back for ourselves the ark of our God: for in the days of Saul we did not go to it for directions.

bbe@1Chronicles:13:4 @And all the people said they would do so, for it seemed right to them.

bbe@1Chronicles:13:6 @And David went up, with all Israel, to Baalah, that is, to Kiriath-jearim in Judah, to get up from there the ark of God, over which the holy Name is named, the name of the Lord whose place is between the winged ones.

bbe@1Chronicles:13:7 @And they put the ark of God on a new cart, and took it out of the house of Abinadab; and Uzza and Ahio were the drivers of the cart.

bbe@1Chronicles:13:8 @Then David and all Israel made melody before God with all their strength, with songs and corded instruments of music, and with brass instruments and horns.

bbe@1Chronicles:13:9 @And when they came to the grain-floor of Chidon, Uzza put out his hand to keep the ark in its place, for the oxen were slipping.

bbe@1Chronicles:13:13 @So David did not let the ark come back to him to the town of David, but had it turned away and put into the house of Obed-edom the Gittite.

bbe@1Chronicles:14:1 @And Hiram, king of Tyre, sent men to David with cedar-trees, and stoneworkers and woodworkers for the building of his house.

bbe@1Chronicles:14:2 @And David saw that the Lord had made his position safe as king over Israel, lifting up his kingdom on high because of his people Israel.

bbe@1Chronicles:14:8 @And when the Philistines had news that David had been made king over all Israel, they went up in search of David, and David, hearing of it, went out against them.

bbe@1Chronicles:14:12 @And the Philistines did not take their images with them in their flight; and at David's orders they were burned with fire.

bbe@1Chronicles:14:14 @And David went for directions to God; and God said to him, You are not to go up after them; but, turning away from them, come face to face with them opposite the spice-trees.

bbe@1Chronicles:15:1 @And David made houses for himself in the town of David; and he got ready a place for the ark of God, and put up a tent for it.

bbe@1Chronicles:15:2 @Then David said, The ark of God may not be moved by any but the Levites, for they have been marked out by God to take the ark of God, and to do his work for ever.

bbe@1Chronicles:15:3 @And David made all Israel come together at Jerusalem, to take the ark of the Lord to its place, which he had got ready for it.

bbe@1Chronicles:15:4 @And David got together the sons of Aaron, and the Levites;

bbe@1Chronicles:15:11 @And David sent for Zadok and Abiathar the priests, and for the Levites, Uriel, Asaiah and Joel, Shemaiah and Eliel and Amminadab,

bbe@1Chronicles:15:12 @And said to them, You are the heads of the families of the Levites: make yourselves holy, you and your brothers, so that you may take the ark of the Lord, the God of Israel, to the place which I have made ready for it.

bbe@1Chronicles:15:13 @For because you did not take it at the first, the Lord our God sent punishment on us, because we did not get directions from him in the right way.

bbe@1Chronicles:15:14 @So the priests and the Levites made themselves holy to take up the ark of the Lord, the God of Israel.

bbe@1Chronicles:15:15 @And the sons of the Levites took up the ark of God, lifting it by its rods, as the Lord had said to Moses.

bbe@1Chronicles:15:16 @And David gave orders to the chief of the Levites to put their brothers the music-makers in position, with instruments of music, corded instruments and brass, with glad voices making sounds of joy.

bbe@1Chronicles:15:17 @So Heman, the son of Joel, and, of his brothers, Asaph, the son of Berechiah; and of the sons of Merari their brothers, Ethan, the son of Kushaiah, were put in position by the Levites;

bbe@1Chronicles:15:18 @And with them their brothers of the second order, Zechariah, Bani and Jaaziel and Shemiramoth and Jehiel and Unni, Eliab and Benaiah and Maaseiah and Mattithiah and Eliphelehu and Mikneiah, and Obed-edom and Jeiel, the door-keepers.

bbe@1Chronicles:15:19 @So those who made melody, Heman, Asaph, and Ethan, were put in position, with brass instruments, sounding loudly;

bbe@1Chronicles:15:20 @And Zechariah and Aziel and Shemiramoth and Jehiel, Unni and Eliab and Maaseiah and Benaiah, with corded instruments put to Alamoth.

bbe@1Chronicles:15:21 @And Mattithiah and Eliphelehu and Mikneiah and Obed-edom and Jeiel and Azaziah, with corded instruments on the octave, to give the first note of the song.

bbe@1Chronicles:15:22 @And Chenaniah, chief of the Levites, was master of the music: he gave directions about the song, because he was expert.

bbe@1Chronicles:15:25 @So David, and the responsible men of Israel, and the captains over thousands, went with joy to get the ark of the agreement of the Lord out of the house of Obed-edom.

bbe@1Chronicles:15:26 @And when God gave help to the Levites who were lifting up the ark of the agreement of the Lord, they made an offering of seven oxen and seven sheep.

bbe@1Chronicles:15:27 @And David was clothed with a robe of fair linen, as were all the Levites who took up the ark, and those who made melody, and Chenaniah the master of those who made melody; and David had on a linen ephod;

bbe@1Chronicles:15:28 @So all Israel took up the ark of the agreement of the Lord, with loud cries and with horns and brass and corded instruments sounding loudly.

bbe@1Chronicles:16:1 @Then they took in the ark of God and put it inside the tent which David had put up for it; and they made offerings, burned offerings and peace-offerings before God.

bbe@1Chronicles:16:4 @And he put some of the Levites before the ark of the Lord as servants, to keep the acts of the Lord in memory, and to give worship and praise to the Lord, the God of Israel:

bbe@1Chronicles:16:5 @Asaph the chief, and second to him Zechariah, Uzziel and Shemiramoth and Jehiel and Mattithiah and Eliab and Benaiah and Obed-edom and Jeiel, with corded instruments of music; and Asaph, with brass instruments sounding loudly;

bbe@1Chronicles:16:16 @The agreement which he made with Abraham, and his oath to Isaac;

bbe@1Chronicles:16:17 @And he gave it to Jacob for a law, and to Israel for an eternal agreement;

bbe@1Chronicles:16:18 @Saying, To you will I give the land of Canaan, the measured line of your heritage:

bbe@1Chronicles:16:22 @Saying, Put not your hand on those who have been marked with my holy oil, and do my prophets no wrong.

bbe@1Chronicles:16:29 @Give to the Lord the glory of his name; take with you an offering and come before him; give worship to the Lord in holy robes.

bbe@1Chronicles:16:30 @Be in fear before him, all the earth: the world is ordered so that it may not be moved.

bbe@1Chronicles:16:32 @Let the sea be thundering with all its waters; let the field be glad, and everything which is in it;

bbe@1Chronicles:16:33 @Then let all the trees of the wood be sounding with joy before the Lord, for he is come to be the judge of the earth.

bbe@1Chronicles:16:36 @Praise be to the Lord, the God of Israel, for ever and for ever. And all the people said, So be it; and gave praise to the Lord.

bbe@1Chronicles:16:38 @And Obed-edom, the son of Jeduthun, and Hosah, with their brothers, sixty-eight of them, to be door-keepers:

bbe@1Chronicles:16:39 @And Zadok the priest, with his brothers the priests, before the House of the Lord in the high place at Gibeon;

bbe@1Chronicles:16:40 @To give burned offerings to the Lord on the altar of burned offerings morning and evening, every day, as it is ordered in the law of the Lord which he gave to Israel;

bbe@1Chronicles:16:41 @And with them Heman and Jeduthun, and the rest who were marked out by name to give praise to the Lord, for his mercy is unchanging for ever;

bbe@1Chronicles:17:2 @And Nathan said to David, Do whatever is in your heart, for God is with you.

bbe@1Chronicles:17:6 @In all the places where I have gone with all Israel, did I ever say to any of the judges of Israel, whom I made the keepers of my people, Why have you not made for me a house of cedar?

bbe@1Chronicles:17:8 @And I have been with you wherever you went, cutting off before you all those who were against you; and I will make your name like the name of the greatest ones of the earth.

bbe@1Chronicles:17:13 @I will be to him a father and he will be to me a son; and I will not take my mercy away from him as I took it from him who was before you;

bbe@1Chronicles:17:14 @But I will make his place in my house and in my kingdom certain for ever; and the seat of his authority will never be overturned.

bbe@1Chronicles:17:17 @And this was only a small thing to you, O God; but your words have even been about the far-off future of your servant's family, looking on me as on one of high position, O Lord God.

bbe@1Chronicles:17:25 @For you, O my God, have let your servant see that you will make him head of a line of kings; and so it has come into your servant's heart to make his prayer to you.

bbe@1Chronicles:17:27 @And now you have been pleased to give your blessing to the family of your servant, so that it may go on for ever before you; you, O Lord, have given your blessing, and a blessing will be on it for ever.

bbe@1Chronicles:18:1 @And it came about after this that David made an attack on the Philistines and overcame them, and took Gath with its daughter-towns out of the hands of the Philistines.

bbe@1Chronicles:18:2 @And he overcame Moab, and the Moabites became his servants and gave him offerings.

bbe@1Chronicles:18:10 @He sent his son Hadoram to King David, to give him words of peace and blessing, because he had overcome Hadadezer in the fight, for Hadadezer had been at war with Tou; and he gave him all sorts of vessels of gold and silver and brass

bbe@1Chronicles:18:11 @These King David made holy to the Lord, together with the silver and gold he had taken from all nations; from Edom and Moab and from the children of Ammon and from the Philistines and from Amalek.

bbe@1Chronicles:18:12 @And when he came back from putting to the sword eighteen thousand of the Edomites in the Valley of Salt,

bbe@1Chronicles:18:13 @David put armed forces in all the towns of Edom; and all the Edomites became servants to David. The Lord made David overcome wherever he went.

bbe@1Chronicles:18:16 @And Zadok, the son of Ahitub; and Ahimelech, the son of Abiathar, were priests; and Shavsha was the scribe;

bbe@1Chronicles:18:17 @And Benaiah, the son of Jehoiada, was over the Cherethites and the Pelethites; and the sons of David were chief of those whose places were at the king's side.

bbe@1Chronicles:19:1 @Now it came about after this that death came to Nahash, the king of the children of Ammon, and his son became king in his place.

bbe@1Chronicles:19:3 @But the chiefs of the children of Ammon said to Hanun, Does it seem to you that David is honouring your father, by sending comforters to you? is it not clear that these men have only come to go through the land and to make secret observation of it so that they may overcome it?

bbe@1Chronicles:19:5 @Then certain men went and gave David word of what had been done to them. And he sent out with the purpose of meeting them; for the men were greatly shamed. And the king said, Keep where you are at Jericho till your hair is long again, and then come back.

bbe@1Chronicles:19:7 @So with this money they got thirty-two thousand war-carriages, and the help of the king of Maacah and his people, who came and took up their position in front of Medeba. And the children of Ammon came together from their towns for the fight.

bbe@1Chronicles:19:8 @And David, hearing of it, sent Joab with all the army of fighting-men.

bbe@1Chronicles:19:9 @So the children of Ammon came out and put their forces in position on the way into the town; and the kings who had come were stationed by themselves in the field.

bbe@1Chronicles:19:10 @Now when Joab saw that their forces were in position against him in front and at his back, he took all the best men of Israel, and put them in line against the Aramaeans;

bbe@1Chronicles:19:11 @And the rest of the people he put in position against the children of Ammon with Abishai, his brother, at their head.

bbe@1Chronicles:19:14 @So Joab and the people who were with him went forward into the fight against the Aramaeans, and they went in flight before him.

bbe@1Chronicles:19:16 @And when the Aramaeans saw that Israel had overcome them, they sent men to get the Aramaeans who were on the other side of the River, with Shophach, the captain of Hadadezer's army, at their head.

bbe@1Chronicles:19:17 @And word of this was given to David; and he got all Israel together and went over Jordan and came to Helam and put his forces in position against them. And when David's forces were in position against the Aramaeans, the fight was started.

bbe@1Chronicles:19:19 @And when the servants of Hadadezer saw that they were overcome by Israel, they made peace with David and became his servants: and the Aramaeans would give no more help to the children of Ammon.

bbe@1Chronicles:20:1 @Now in the spring, at the time when kings go out to war, Joab went out at the head of the armed forces and made waste all the land of the Ammonites and put his men in position before Rabbah, shutting it in. But David was still at Jerusalem. And Joab took Rabbah and made it waste.

bbe@1Chronicles:20:2 @And David took the crown of Milcom from off his head; its weight was a talent of gold and it had stones of great price in it; and it was put on David's head, and he took a great store of goods from the town.

bbe@1Chronicles:20:3 @And he took the people out of the town and put them to work with wood-cutting instruments, and iron grain-crushers, and axes. And this he did to all the towns of the children of Ammon. Then David and all the people went back to Jerusalem.

bbe@1Chronicles:20:4 @Now after this there was war with the Philistines at Gezer; then Sibbecai the Hushathite put to death Sippai, one of the offspring of the Rephaim; and they were overcome.

bbe@1Chronicles:20:5 @And again there was war with the Philistines; and Elhanan, the son of Jair, put to death Lahmi, the brother of Goliath the Gittite, the stem of whose spear was like a cloth-worker's rod.

bbe@1Chronicles:21:6 @But Levi and Benjamin were not numbered among them, for Joab was disgusted with the king's order.

bbe@1Chronicles:21:7 @And God was not pleased with this thing; so he sent punishment on Israel.

bbe@1Chronicles:21:10 @Go and say to David, The Lord says, Three things are offered to you: say which of them you will have, so that I may do it to you.

bbe@1Chronicles:21:15 @And God sent an angel to Jerusalem for its destruction: and when he was about to do so, the Lord saw, and had regret for the evil, and said to the angel of destruction, It is enough; do no more. Now the angel of the Lord was by the grain-floor of Ornan the Jebusite.

bbe@1Chronicles:21:16 @And David, lifting up his eyes, saw the angel of the Lord there between earth and heaven, with an uncovered sword in his hand stretched out over Jerusalem. Then David and the responsible men, clothed in haircloth, went down on their faces.

bbe@1Chronicles:21:17 @And David said to God, Was it not I who gave the order for the people to be numbered? It is I who have done the sin and the great wrong; but these are only sheep; what have they done? let your hand, O Lord God, be lifted up against me and against my family, but not against your people to send disease on them.

bbe@1Chronicles:21:18 @Then the angel of the Lord gave orders to Gad to say to David that he was to go and put up an altar to the Lord on the grain-floor of Ornan the Jebusite.

bbe@1Chronicles:21:20 @And Ornan, turning back, saw the angel, and his four sons who were with him went to a secret place. Now Ornan was crushing his grain.

bbe@1Chronicles:21:22 @Then David said to Ornan, Give me the place where this grain-floor is, so that I may put up an altar here to the Lord: let me have it for its full price; so that this disease may be stopped among the people.

bbe@1Chronicles:21:23 @And Ornan said to David, Take it, and let my lord the king do what seems right to him. See, I give you the oxen for burned offerings and the grain-cleaning instruments for fire-wood, and the grain for the meal offering; I give it all.

bbe@1Chronicles:21:24 @And King David said to Ornan, No; I will certainly give you the full price for it, because I will not take for the Lord what is yours, or give a burned offering without payment.

bbe@1Chronicles:21:26 @And David put up an altar there to the Lord, offering burned offerings and peace-offerings with prayers to the Lord; and he gave him an answer from heaven, sending fire on the altar of burned offering.

bbe@1Chronicles:21:27 @Then the Lord gave orders to the angel, and he put back his sword into its cover.

bbe@1Chronicles:21:28 @At that time, when David saw that the Lord had given him an answer on the grain-floor of Ornan the Jebusite, he made an offering there.

bbe@1Chronicles:21:30 @But David was not able to go before it to get directions from the Lord, so great was his fear of the sword of the angel of the Lord.

bbe@1Chronicles:22:4 @And cedar-trees without number, for the Zidonians and the men of Tyre came with a great amount of cedar-trees for David.

bbe@1Chronicles:22:5 @And David said, Solomon my son is young and untested, and the house which is to be put up for the Lord is to be very great, a thing of wonder and glory through all countries; so I will make ready what is needed for it. So David got ready a great store of material before his death.

bbe@1Chronicles:22:7 @And David said to Solomon, My son, it was my desire to put up a house for the name of the Lord my God.

bbe@1Chronicles:22:8 @But the word of the Lord came to me saying, You have taken lives without number and made great wars; I will not let you be the builder of a house for my name, because of the lives you have taken on the earth before my eyes.

bbe@1Chronicles:22:11 @Now, my son, may the Lord be with you; and may you do well, and put up the house of the Lord your God, as he has said of you.

bbe@1Chronicles:22:14 @Now see, poor though I am, I have got ready for the house of the Lord a hundred thousand talents of gold and a million talents of silver; and a weight of brass and iron greater than may be measured; and wood and stone have I made ready, and you may put more to it.

bbe@1Chronicles:22:18 @Is not the Lord your God with you? and has he not given you rest on every side? for the Lord has given the people of the land into my hands, and the land is overcome before the Lord and before his people.

bbe@1Chronicles:23:2 @And he got together all the chiefs of Israel, with the priests and the Levites.

bbe@1Chronicles:23:3 @And the Levites, all those of thirty years old and over, were numbered; and the number of them, by heads, man by man, was thirty-eight thousand.

bbe@1Chronicles:23:4 @Of these, twenty-four thousand were to be overseers of the work of the house of the Lord, and six thousand were judges and men of authority;

bbe@1Chronicles:23:5 @Four thousand were door-keepers; and four thousand gave praise to the Lord with the instruments which I made, said David, for giving praise.

bbe@1Chronicles:23:7 @Of the Gershonites: Ladan and Shimei.

bbe@1Chronicles:23:18 @The sons of Izhar: Shelomith the first

bbe@1Chronicles:23:26 @And from now, there will be no need for the House of the Lord, and the vessels used in it, to be moved about by the Levites.

bbe@1Chronicles:24:1 @Now the divisions into which the sons of Aaron were grouped were these: the sons of Aaron, Nadab and Abihu, Eleazar and Ithamar.

bbe@1Chronicles:24:2 @But Nadab and Abihu came to their end before their father, and had no children; so Eleazar and Ithamar did the work of priests.

bbe@1Chronicles:24:3 @And David, with Zadok of the sons of Eleazar, and Ahimelech of the sons of Ithamar, made distribution of them into their positions for their work.

bbe@1Chronicles:24:4 @And there were more chiefs among the sons of Eleazar than among the sons of Ithamar; and this is how they were grouped: of the sons of Eleazar there were sixteen, all heads of families; and of the sons of Ithamar, heads of families, there were eight.

bbe@1Chronicles:24:5 @So they were put into groups, by the Lord's decision, one with another; for there were rulers of the holy place and rulers of the house of God among the sons of Eleazar and the sons of Ithamar.

bbe@1Chronicles:24:6 @And Shemaiah, the son of Nethanel the scribe, who was a Levite, put down their names in writing, the king being present with the rulers, and Zadok the priest, and Ahimelech, the son of Abiathar, and the heads of families of the priests and the Levites; one family being taken for Eleazar and then one for Ithamar, and so on.

bbe@1Chronicles:24:19 @So they were put into their different groups, to take their places in the house of the Lord, in agreement with the rules made by Aaron their father, as the Lord, the God of Israel, had given him orders.

bbe@1Chronicles:24:22 @Of the Izharites, Shelomoth; of the sons of Shelomoth, Jahath.

bbe@1Chronicles:24:30 @And the sons of Mushi: Mahli and Eder and Jerimoth. These were the sons of the Levites by their families.

bbe@1Chronicles:24:31 @Selection was made of these in the same way as of their brothers the sons of Aaron, David the king being present, with Zadok, and Ahimelech, and the heads of families of the priests and of the Levites; the families of the chief in the same way as those of his younger brother.

bbe@1Chronicles:25:1 @Further, David and the chiefs of the servants of the holy place made selection of certain of the sons of Asaph and of Heman and of Jeduthun for the work of prophets, to make melody with corded instruments and brass; and the number of the men for the work they had to do was:

bbe@1Chronicles:25:3 @Of Jeduthun: the six sons of Jeduthun, Gedaliah and Zeri and Jeshaiah, Hashabiah and Mattithiah; under the direction of their father Jeduthun who, acting as a prophet, with corded instruments gave praise and glory to the Lord.

bbe@1Chronicles:25:6 @All these, under the direction of their father, made music in the house of the Lord, with brass and corded instruments, for the worship of the house of God; Asaph, Jeduthun, and Heman being under the orders of the king.

bbe@1Chronicles:28:12 @And the design of all he had in his heart for the outer squares of the house of the Lord, and for the rooms all round it, and for the store-houses of the house of the Lord, and for the store-houses for the holy things;

bbe@1Chronicles:28:13 @And for the divisions of the priests and Levites, and for all the work in connection with the worship of the house of the Lord, and all the vessels used in the house of the Lord;

bbe@1Chronicles:28:19 @All this, said David, the design for all these things, has been made dear to me in writing by the hand of the Lord.

bbe@1Chronicles:28:20 @And David said to his son Solomon, Be strong and of a good heart and do your work; have no fear and do not be troubled, for the Lord God, my God, is with you; he will not give you up, and his face will not be turned away from you, till all the work necessary for the house of the Lord is complete.

bbe@1Chronicles:28:21 @And see, there are the divisions of the priests and Levites for all the work of the house of God; and every trained and expert workman will be ready to do for you whatever is needed; and the captains and the people will be under your orders in everything.

bbe@1Chronicles:29:3 @And because this house of God is dear to me, I give my private store of gold and silver to the house of my God, in addition to all I have got ready for the holy house;

bbe@1Chronicles:29:6 @Then the heads of families and the chiefs of the tribes of Israel, and the captains of thousands and of hundreds, with the controllers of the king's business, freely gave themselves;

bbe@1Chronicles:29:8 @And those who had stones of great price gave them to the store of the house of the Lord, under the care of Jehiel the Gershonite.

bbe@1Chronicles:29:9 @Then the people were glad because their offerings were freely given, for with a true heart they freely gave what they had to the Lord; and David the king was full of joy.

bbe@1Chronicles:29:11 @Yours, O Lord, is the strength and the power and the glory, and the authority and the honour: for everything in heaven and on earth is yours; yours is the kingdom, O Lord, and you are lifted up as head over all.

bbe@1Chronicles:29:12 @Wealth and honour come from you, and you are ruler over all, and in your hand is power and strength; it is in your power to make great, and to give strength to all.

bbe@1Chronicles:29:20 @And David said to all the people, Now give praise to the Lord your God. And all the people gave praise to the Lord, the God of their fathers, with bent heads worshipping the Lord and the king.

bbe@1Chronicles:29:21 @And they made offerings to the Lord, and gave burned offerings to the Lord, on the day after, a thousand oxen, a thousand sheep, and a thousand lambs, with their drink offerings, and a great wealth of offerings for all Israel.

bbe@1Chronicles:29:22 @And with great joy they made a feast before the Lord that day. And they made Solomon, the son of David, king a second time, putting the holy oil on him to make him holy to the Lord as ruler, and on Zadok as priest.

bbe@1Chronicles:29:23 @So Solomon was put on the seat of the Lord as king in place of his father David, and everything went well for him; and all Israel was under his authority.

bbe@1Chronicles:29:24 @And all the chiefs and the men of war and all the sons of King David put themselves under the authority of Solomon the king.

bbe@1Chronicles:29:25 @And the Lord made Solomon great in the eyes of all Israel, clothing him with glory and honour such as no other king in Israel had had before him.

bbe@1Chronicles:29:30 @Together with all his rule and his power, and the events which took place in his time, in Israel and in all the kingdoms of other lands.

bbe@2Chronicles:1:1 @And Solomon, the son of David, made himself strong in his kingdom, and the Lord his God was with him, and made him very great.

bbe@2Chronicles:1:3 @Then Solomon, and all the men of Israel with him, went to the high place at Gibeon, because the Tent of meeting of God, which Moses, the servant of the Lord, had made in the waste land, was there.

bbe@2Chronicles:1:4 @But the ark of God had been moved by David from Kiriath-jearim to the place which he had made ready for it, for he had put up a tent for it at Jerusalem.

bbe@2Chronicles:1:6 @And Solomon went up there to the brass altar before the Lord at the Tent of meeting, offering on it a thousand burned offerings.

bbe@2Chronicles:1:14 @And Solomon got together war-carriages and horsemen; he had one thousand, four hundred carriages and twelve thousand horsemen, which he kept, some in the carriage-towns and some with the king at Jerusalem.

bbe@2Chronicles:1:17 @A war-carriage might be got from Egypt for six hundred shekels of silver, and a horse for a hundred and fifty: they got them at the same rate for all the kings of the Hittites and the kings of Aram.

bbe@2Chronicles:2:1 @Now it was Solomon's purpose to put up a house for the name of the Lord and a house for himself as king.

bbe@2Chronicles:2:6 @But who may have strength enough to make a house for him, seeing that the heaven and the heaven of heavens are not wide enough to be his resting-place? who am I then to make a house for him? But I am building it only for the burning of perfume before him.

bbe@2Chronicles:2:7 @So now send me an expert worker in gold and silver and brass and iron? in purple and red and blue, and in the cutting of all sorts of ornament, to be with the expert workmen who are here in Judah and in Jerusalem, whom my father David got together.

bbe@2Chronicles:2:8 @And send me cedar-trees, cypress-trees and sandal-wood from Lebanon, for, to my knowledge, your servants are expert wood-cutters in Lebanon; and my servants will be with yours,

bbe@2Chronicles:2:11 @Then Huram, king of Tyre, sent Solomon an answer in writing, saying, Because of his love for his people the Lord has made you king over them.

bbe@2Chronicles:2:16 @And we will have wood cut from Lebanon, as much as you have need of, and will send it to you on flat boats by sea to Joppa, and from there you may take it up to Jerusalem.

bbe@2Chronicles:3:1 @Then Solomon made a start at building the house of the Lord on Mount Moriah in Jerusalem, where the Lord had been seen by his father David, in the place which David had made ready in the grain-floor of Ornan the Jebusite.

bbe@2Chronicles:3:3 @And Solomon put the base of the house of God in position; by the older measure it was sixty cubits long and twenty cubits wide.

bbe@2Chronicles:3:4 @And the covered way in front of the house was twenty cubits long, as wide as the house, and a hundred and twenty cubits high, all plated inside with the best gold.

bbe@2Chronicles:3:5 @And the greater house was roofed with cypress-wood, plated with the best gold and ornamented with designs of palm-trees and chains.

bbe@2Chronicles:3:6 @And the house was made beautiful with stones of great value, and the gold was gold of Parvaim.

bbe@2Chronicles:3:7 @All the house was plated with gold, the supports, the steps, the walls and the doors; and the walls were ornamented with designs of winged ones.

bbe@2Chronicles:3:8 @And he made the most holy place; it was twenty cubits long, and twenty cubits wide, like the greater house, and was plated all over with the best gold; six hundred talents were used for it.

bbe@2Chronicles:3:9 @And fifty shekels weight of gold was used for the nails. He had all the higher rooms plated with gold.

bbe@2Chronicles:3:10 @And in the most holy place he made images of two winged beings, covering them with gold

bbe@2Chronicles:3:11 @Their outstretched wings were twenty cubits across; one wing, five cubits long, touching the wall of the house, and the other, of the same size, meeting the wing of the other winged one.

bbe@2Chronicles:3:12 @And in the same way, the wings of the other, five cubits long, were stretched out, one touching the wall and the other meeting the wing of the first winged one.

bbe@2Chronicles:3:13 @Their outstretched wings were twenty cubits across; they were placed upright on their feet, facing the inner part of the house.

bbe@2Chronicles:3:14 @And he made the veil of blue and purple and red, of the best linen, worked with winged ones.

bbe@2Chronicles:3:15 @And in front of the house he made two pillars, thirty-five cubits high, with crowns on the tops of them, five cubits high.

bbe@2Chronicles:4:1 @Then he made a brass altar, twenty cubits long, twenty cubits wide and ten cubits high.

bbe@2Chronicles:4:2 @And he made the great water-vessel of metal, round in form, measuring ten cubits across from edge to edge; it was five cubits high and thirty cubits round.

bbe@2Chronicles:4:3 @And under it was a design of flowers all round it, ten to a cubit, circling the water-vessel in two lines; they were made from liquid metal at the same time as the water-vessel.

bbe@2Chronicles:4:4 @It was supported on twelve oxen, three facing to the north, three to the west, three to the south, and three to the east, the water-vessel resting on top of them; their back parts were all turned to the middle of it.

bbe@2Chronicles:4:5 @It was as thick as a man's open hand, and the edge of it was curved like the edge of a cup, like a lily flower; it would take three thousand baths.

bbe@2Chronicles:4:9 @Then he made the open space for the priests, and the great open space and its doors, plating the doors with brass.

bbe@2Chronicles:4:15 @The great water-vessel with the twelve oxen under it.

bbe@2Chronicles:4:20 @And the supports for the lights with their lights, to be burning in the regular way in front of the inmost room, of the best gold;

bbe@2Chronicles:4:21 @The flowers and the vessels for the lights and the instruments used for them, were all of gold; it was the best gold.

bbe@2Chronicles:5:4 @All the responsible men of Israel came, and the Levites took up the ark.

bbe@2Chronicles:5:5 @They took up the ark and the Tent of meeting and all the holy vessels which were in the Tent; all these the priests, the Levites, took up.

bbe@2Chronicles:5:6 @And King Solomon and all the men of Israel who had come together there with him, were before the ark, making offerings of sheep and oxen more than might be numbered.

bbe@2Chronicles:5:7 @And the priests took the ark of the Lord's agreement and put it in its place, in the inner room of the house, in the most holy place, under the wings of the winged ones.

bbe@2Chronicles:5:8 @For their wings were outstretched over the place where the ark was, covering the ark and its rods.

bbe@2Chronicles:5:10 @Nothing was in the ark but the two flat stones which Moses put there at Horeb, where the Lord made an agreement with the children of Israel when they came out of Egypt.

bbe@2Chronicles:5:12 @And the Levites who made the music, all of them, Asaph, Heman, Jeduthun, and their sons and brothers, robed in fair linen, were in their places with their brass and corded instruments at the east side of the altar, and with them a hundred and twenty priests blowing horns;)

bbe@2Chronicles:5:13 @And when the players on horns, and those who made melody in song, with one voice were sounding the praise and glory of the Lord; with loud voices and with wind instruments, and brass and corded instruments of music, praising the Lord and saying, He is good; his mercy is unchanging for ever: then the house was full of the cloud of the glory of the Lord,

bbe@2Chronicles:6:4 @And he said, Praise be to the Lord, the God of Israel, who himself gave his word to my father David, and with his strong hand has made his word come true, saying,

bbe@2Chronicles:6:7 @Now it was in the heart of my father David to put up a house for the name of the Lord, the God of Israel.

bbe@2Chronicles:6:9 @But you yourself will not be the builder of the house; but your son, the offspring of your body, he it is who will put up a house for my name.

bbe@2Chronicles:6:11 @And there I have put the ark, in which is the agreement of the Lord, which he made with the people of Israel.

bbe@2Chronicles:6:13 @(For Solomon had made a brass stage, five cubits long, five cubits wide and three cubits high, and had put it in the middle of the open space; on this he took his place and went down on his knees before all the meeting of Israel, stretching out his hands to heaven.)

bbe@2Chronicles:6:14 @And he said, O Lord, the God of Israel, there is no God like you in heaven or on earth; keeping faith and mercy unchanging for your servants, while they go in your ways with all their hearts;

bbe@2Chronicles:6:15 @For you have kept the word which you gave to your servant David, my father; with your mouth you said it and with your hand you have made it come true this day.

bbe@2Chronicles:6:16 @So now, O Lord, the God of Israel, let your word to your servant David, my father, come true, when you said, You will never be without a man to take his place before me on the seat of the kingdom of Israel; if only your children give attention to their ways, walking in my law, as you have done before me.

bbe@2Chronicles:6:18 @But is it truly possible that God may be housed with men on earth? see, heaven and the heaven of heavens are not wide enough to be your resting-place: how much less this house which I have made:

bbe@2Chronicles:6:26 @When heaven is shut up and there is no rain, because of their sin against you: if they make prayers with their faces turned to this place, honouring your name and turning away from their sin when you send trouble on them:

bbe@2Chronicles:6:27 @Then give ear from heaven, so that the sin of your servants and the sin of your people Israel may have forgiveness, when you make clear to them the good way in which they are to go; and send rain on your land which you have given to your people for their heritage.

bbe@2Chronicles:6:28 @If there is no food in the land, if there is disease, if the fruits of the earth are damaged by heat or water, locust or worm; if their towns are shut in by their attackers: whatever trouble or whatever disease there may be:

bbe@2Chronicles:6:30 @Then give ear from heaven your living-place, answering with forgiveness, and give to every man, whose secret heart is open to you, the reward of all his ways; (for you, and you only, have knowledge of the hearts of the children of men;)

bbe@2Chronicles:6:33 @Then give ear from heaven your living-place, and give him his desire, whatever it may be; so that all the peoples of the earth may have knowledge of your name, worshipping you as do your people Israel, and may see that this house which I have made is truly named by your name.

bbe@2Chronicles:6:36 @If they do wrong against you, (for no man is without sin,) and you are angry with them, and give them up into the power of those who are fighting against them, so that they take them away prisoners to a land far off or near;

bbe@2Chronicles:6:38 @If with all their heart and soul they are turned again to you, in the land where they are prisoners, the land where they have been taken, and make their prayers, turning their eyes to their land which you gave to their fathers, and to the town which you took for yourself, and the house which I have made for your name:

bbe@2Chronicles:6:39 @Then give ear from heaven your living-place to their prayer and their cry, and see right done to them, answering with forgiveness your people who have done wrong against you.

bbe@2Chronicles:6:41 @Up! now, O Lord God, come back to your resting-place, you and the ark of your strength: let your priests, O Lord God, be clothed with salvation, and let your saints be glad in what is good.

bbe@2Chronicles:7:3 @And all the children of Israel were looking on when the fire came down, and the glory of the Lord was on the house; and they went down on their knees, with their faces to the earth, worshipping and praising the Lord, and saying, He is good; for his mercy is unchanging for ever.

bbe@2Chronicles:7:6 @And the priests were in their places, and the Levites with their instruments of music for the Lord's song, which David the king had made for the praise of the Lord whose mercy is unchanging for ever, when David gave praise by their hand; and the priests were sounding horns before them; and all Israel were on their feet.

bbe@2Chronicles:7:8 @So Solomon kept the feast at that time for seven days, and all Israel with him, a very great meeting, for the people had come together from the way into Hamath and from as far as the river of Egypt.

bbe@2Chronicles:7:11 @So Solomon came to the end of building the house of the Lord and the king's house; and everything which it was in his mind to make in the house of the Lord and for himself had been well done.

bbe@2Chronicles:7:13 @If, at my word, heaven is shut up, so that there is no rain, or if I send locusts on the land for its destruction, or if I send disease on my people;

bbe@2Chronicles:7:16 @For I have taken this house for myself and made it holy, so that my name may be there for ever; and my eyes and my heart will be there at all times

bbe@2Chronicles:7:18 @Then I will make strong the seat of your kingdom, as I gave my word to David your father, saying, You will never be without a man to be ruler in Israel.

bbe@2Chronicles:7:20 @Then I will have this people uprooted out of my land which I have given them; and this house, which I have made holy for my name, I will put away from before my eyes, and make it an example and a word of shame among all peoples.

bbe@2Chronicles:7:21 @And this house will become a mass of broken walls, and everyone who goes by will be overcome with wonder, and will say, Why has the Lord done so to this land and to this house?

bbe@2Chronicles:8:3 @And Solomon went to Hamath-zobah and overcame it.

bbe@2Chronicles:8:5 @And of Beth-horon the higher and the lower, walled towns with walls and doorways and locks;

bbe@2Chronicles:8:6 @And of Baalath, and all the store-towns which Solomon had, and the towns where he kept his war-carriages and his horse men, and everything which it was his pleasure to put up in Jerusalem and in Lebanon and in all the land under his rule.

bbe@2Chronicles:8:7 @As for all the rest of the Hittites and the Amorites and the Perizzites and the Hivites and the Jebusites, who were not of Israel:

bbe@2Chronicles:8:10 @Now these were the chief men in authority whom King Solomon had: two hundred and fifty of them, in authority over the people.

bbe@2Chronicles:8:14 @And he gave the divisions of the priests their places for their work, as ordered by his father David, and to the Levites he gave their work of praise and waiting on the priests, to do what was needed day by day; and he gave the door-keepers their places in turn at every door; for so David, the man of God, had given orders.

bbe@2Chronicles:8:15 @All the orders given by the king to the priests and Levites, in connection with any business or stores, were done with care.

bbe@2Chronicles:8:16 @And all the work of Solomon was complete, from the day when he put the base of the Lord's house in position, till Solomon had come to the end of building the Lord's house.

bbe@2Chronicles:8:18 @And Huram sent him, by his servants, ships and experienced seamen, who went with the servants of Solomon to Ophir and came back with four hundred and fifty talents of gold, which they took to King Solomon

bbe@2Chronicles:9:1 @Now the queen of Sheba, hearing great things of Solomon, came to Jerusalem to put his wisdom to the test with hard questions; and with her came a very great train, and camels weighted down with spices, and great stores of gold and jewels: and when she came to Solomon she had talk with him of everything in her mind.

bbe@2Chronicles:9:4 @And the food at his table, and all his servants seated there, and those who were waiting on him in their places, and their robes, and his wine-servants and their robes, and the burned offerings which he made in the house of the Lord, there was no more spirit in her.

bbe@2Chronicles:9:6 @But I had no faith in what was said about you, till I came and saw for myself; and truly, word was not given me of half your great wisdom; you are much greater than they said.

bbe@2Chronicles:9:8 @Praise be to the Lord your God whose pleasure it was to put you on the seat of his kingdom to be king for the Lord your God: because, in his love for Israel, it was the purpose of your God to make them strong for ever, he made you king over them, to be their judge in righteousness.

bbe@2Chronicles:9:10 @And the servants of Huram and the servants of Solomon, in addition to gold from Ophir, came back with sandal-wood and jewels.

bbe@2Chronicles:9:11 @And with the sandal-wood the king made steps for the house of the Lord and for the king's house, and instruments of music for the makers of melody; never before had such been seen in the land of Judah.

bbe@2Chronicles:9:12 @And King Solomon gave the queen of Sheba all her desire, whatever she made request for, in addition to what she had taken to the king. So she went back to her country with her servants.

bbe@2Chronicles:9:14 @And in addition to what he got from traders of different sorts, all the kings of Arabia and the rulers of the country gave gold and silver to Solomon.

bbe@2Chronicles:9:15 @And King Solomon made two hundred body-covers of hammered gold, every one having six hundred shekels of gold in it.

bbe@2Chronicles:9:17 @Then the king made a great ivory seat, plated with the best gold.

bbe@2Chronicles:9:18 @There were six steps up to it, and a foot-rest of gold fixed to it, and arms on the two sides of the seat, with two lions at the side of the arms.

bbe@2Chronicles:9:19 @And twelve lions were placed on one side and on the other side on the six steps: there was nothing like it in any kingdom.

bbe@2Chronicles:9:21 @For the king had Tarshish-ships sailing with the servants of Huram: once every three years the Tarshish-ships came back with gold and silver, ivory and monkeys and peacocks.

bbe@2Chronicles:9:24 @And everyone took with him an offering, vessels of silver and vessels of gold, and robes, and coats of metal, and spices, and horses and beasts for transport, regularly year by year.

bbe@2Chronicles:9:25 @Solomon had four thousand buildings for his horses and his war-carriages, and twelve thousand horsemen whom he kept, some in the carriage-towns and some with the king in Jerusalem.

bbe@2Chronicles:9:26 @And he was ruler over all the kings from the River to the land of the Philistines, as far as the limit of Egypt.

bbe@2Chronicles:9:31 @And Solomon went to rest with his fathers, and was put into the earth in the town of David his father; and Rehoboam his son became king in his place.

bbe@2Chronicles:10:2 @And when Jeroboam, the son of Nebat, had news of it, (for he was in Egypt where he had gone in flight from King Solomon,) he came back from Egypt.

bbe@2Chronicles:10:4 @Your father put a hard yoke on us: if you will make the conditions under which your father kept us down less cruel, and the weight of the yoke he put on us less hard, then we will be your servants.

bbe@2Chronicles:10:6 @Then King Rehoboam took the opinion of the old men who had been with Solomon his father when he was living, and said, In your opinion, what answer am I to give to this people?

bbe@2Chronicles:10:8 @But he gave no attention to the opinion of the old men, but went to the young men of his generation who were waiting before him.

bbe@2Chronicles:10:10 @And the young men of his generation said to him, This is the answer to give to the people who came to you saying, Your father put a hard yoke on us, but will you make it less; say to them, My little finger is thicker than my father's body;

bbe@2Chronicles:10:11 @If my father put a hard yoke on you, I will make it harder: my father gave you punishment with whips, but I will give you blows with snakes.

bbe@2Chronicles:10:14 @But gave them the answer put forward by the young men, saying, My father made your yoke hard, but I will make it harder; my father gave you punishment with whips, but I will give it with snakes.

bbe@2Chronicles:10:15 @So the king did not give ear to the people; for this came about by the purpose of God, so that the Lord might give effect to his word which he had said by Ahijah the Shilonite to Jeroboam, the son of Nebat.

bbe@2Chronicles:10:16 @And when all Israel saw that the king would give no attention to them, the people in answer said to the king, What part have we in David? what is our heritage in the son of Jesse? every man to your tents, O Israel; now see to your house, David. So all Israel went to their tents.

bbe@2Chronicles:11:13 @And the priests and Levites who were in all Israel came together to him from every part of their country.

bbe@2Chronicles:11:14 @For the Levites gave up their living-places and their property, and came to Judah and Jerusalem; for Jeroboam and his sons had sent them away, not letting them be priests to the Lord;

bbe@2Chronicles:11:20 @And after her he took Maacah, the daughter of Absalom; and she had Abijah and Attai and Ziza and Shelomith by him.

bbe@2Chronicles:11:22 @Rehoboam made Abijah, the son of Maacah, chief and ruler among his brothers, for it was his purpose to make him king.

bbe@2Chronicles:12:1 @Now when Rehoboam's position as king had been made certain, and he was strong, he gave up the law of the Lord, and all Israel with him.

bbe@2Chronicles:12:3 @With twelve hundred war-carriages and sixty thousand horsemen: and the people who came with him out of Egypt were more than might be numbered: Lubim and Sukkiim and Ethiopians.

bbe@2Chronicles:12:9 @So Shishak, king of Egypt, came up against Jerusalem and took away all the stored wealth of the house of the Lord and the king's house: he took everything away, and with the rest the gold body-covers which Solomon had made.

bbe@2Chronicles:12:11 @And whenever the king went into the house of the Lord, the armed men went with him taking the body-covers, and then took them back to their room.

bbe@2Chronicles:12:16 @And Rehoboam went to rest with his fathers, and was put into the earth in the town of David; and Abijah his son became king in his place.

bbe@2Chronicles:13:3 @And Abijah went out to the fight with an army of men of war, four hundred thousand of his best men; and Jeroboam put his forces in line against him, eight hundred thousand of his best men of war.

bbe@2Chronicles:13:4 @And Abijah took up his position on Mount Zemaraim, in the hill-country of Ephraim, and said, Give ear to me, O Jeroboam and all Israel:

bbe@2Chronicles:13:5 @Is it not clear to you that the Lord, the God of Israel, gave the rule over Israel to David and to his sons for ever, by an agreement made with salt?

bbe@2Chronicles:13:7 @And certain foolish and good-for-nothing men were joined with him, and made themselves strong against Rehoboam, the son of Solomon, when he was young and untested and not able to keep them back.

bbe@2Chronicles:13:8 @And now it is your purpose to put yourselves against the authority which the Lord has put into the hands of the sons of David, and you are a very great number, and you have with you the gold oxen which Jeroboam made to be your gods.

bbe@2Chronicles:13:9 @And after driving out the priests of the Lord, the sons of Aaron and the Levites, have you not made priests for yourselves as the people of other lands do? so that anyone who comes to make himself priest by offering an ox or seven sheep, may be a priest of those who are no gods.

bbe@2Chronicles:13:10 @But as for us, the Lord is our God, and we have not been turned away from him; we have priests who do the work of the Lord, even the sons of Aaron and the Levites in their places;

bbe@2Chronicles:13:11 @By whom burned offerings and perfumes are sent up in smoke before the Lord every morning and every evening; and they put out the holy bread on its table and the gold support for the lights with its lights burning every evening; for we keep the orders given to us by the Lord our God, but you have gone away from him.

bbe@2Chronicles:13:12 @And now God is with us at our head, and his priests with their loud horns sounding against you. O children of Israel, do not make war on the Lord, the God of your fathers, for it will not go well for you.

bbe@2Chronicles:13:17 @And Abijah and his people put them to death with great destruction: five hundred thousand of the best of Israel were put to the sword.

bbe@2Chronicles:13:18 @So at that time the children of Israel were overcome, and the children of Judah got the better of them, because they put their faith in the Lord, the God of their fathers.

bbe@2Chronicles:13:19 @And Abijah went after Jeroboam and took some of his towns, Beth-el with its small towns and Jeshanah with its small towns and Ephron with its small towns.

bbe@2Chronicles:14:1 @So Abijah went to rest with his fathers, and they put him into the earth in the town of David, and Asa his son became king in his place; in his time the land was quiet for ten years.

bbe@2Chronicles:14:7 @He said to Judah, Let us make these towns, building walls round them with towers and doors and locks. The land is still ours, because we have been true to the Lord our God; we have been true to him and he has given us rest on every side. So they went on building and all went well for them.

bbe@2Chronicles:14:8 @And Asa had an army of three hundred thousand men of Judah armed with body-covers and spears, and two hundred and eighty thousand of Benjamin armed with body-covers and bows; all these were men of war.

bbe@2Chronicles:14:9 @And Zerah the Ethiopian, with an army of a million, and three hundred war-carriages, came out against them to Mareshah.

bbe@2Chronicles:14:10 @And Asa went out against him, and they put their forces in position in the valley north of Mareshah.

bbe@2Chronicles:14:13 @And Asa and the people who were with him went after them as far as Gerar; and so great was the destruction among the Ethiopians that they were not able to get their army together again, for they were broken before the Lord and before his army; and they took away a great amount of their goods.

bbe@2Chronicles:15:1 @And the spirit of God came on Azariah, the son of Oded;

bbe@2Chronicles:15:2 @And he came face to face with Asa and said to him, Give ear to me, Asa and all Judah and Benjamin: the Lord is with you while you are with him; if your heart's desire is for him, he will be near you, but if you give him up, he will give you up.

bbe@2Chronicles:15:3 @Now for a long time Israel has been without the true God, and without a teaching priest and without the law;

bbe@2Chronicles:15:9 @And he got together all Judah and Benjamin and those of Ephraim and Manasseh and Simeon who were living with them; for numbers of them came to him out of Israel when they saw that the Lord his God was with him.

bbe@2Chronicles:15:12 @And they made an agreement to be true to the Lord, the God of their fathers, with all their heart and all their soul;

bbe@2Chronicles:15:14 @And they made an oath to the Lord, with a loud voice, sounding wind-instruments and horns.

bbe@2Chronicles:15:15 @And all Judah was glad because of the oath, for they had taken it with all their heart, turning to the Lord with all their desire; and he was with them and gave them rest on every side.

bbe@2Chronicles:16:3 @Let there be an agreement between me and you as there was between my father and your father: see, I have sent you silver and gold; go and put an end to your agreement with Baasha, king of Israel, so that he may give up attacking me.

bbe@2Chronicles:16:5 @Then Baasha, hearing of it, put a stop to the building of Ramah, and let his work come to an end.

bbe@2Chronicles:16:6 @Then King Asa, with all Judah, took away the stones and wood with which Baasha was building Ramah, and he made use of them for building Geba and Mizpah.

bbe@2Chronicles:16:7 @At that time Hanani the seer came to Asa, king of Judah, and said to him, Because you have put your faith in the king of Aram and not in the Lord your God, the army of the king of Aram has got away out of your hands.

bbe@2Chronicles:16:8 @Were not the Ethiopians and the Lubim a very great army, with war-carriages and horsemen more than might be numbered? but because your faith was in the Lord, he gave them up into your hands.

bbe@2Chronicles:16:9 @For the eyes of the Lord go this way and that, through all the earth, letting it be seen that he is the strong support of those whose hearts are true to him. In this you have done foolishly, for from now you will have wars.

bbe@2Chronicles:16:10 @Then Asa was angry with the seer, and put him in prison, burning with wrath against him because of this thing. And at the same time Asa was cruel to some of the people.

bbe@2Chronicles:16:13 @So Asa went to rest with his fathers, and death came to him in the forty-first year of his rule.

bbe@2Chronicles:17:3 @And the Lord was with Jehoshaphat, because he went in the early ways of his father, not turning to the Baals,

bbe@2Chronicles:17:8 @And with them, Shemaiah and Nethaniah and Zebadiah and Asahel and Shemiramoth and Jehonathan and Adonijah and Tobijah and Tob-adonijah, the Levites; and Elishama and Jehoram the priests.

bbe@2Chronicles:17:9 @And they gave teaching in Judah and had the book of the law of the Lord with them; they went through all the towns of Judah teaching the people.

bbe@2Chronicles:17:14 @This is the number of them, listed by their families, the captains of thousands of Judah: Adnah, the captain, and with him three hundred thousand men of war;

bbe@2Chronicles:17:15 @Second to him Jehohanan, the captain, and with him two hundred and eighty thousand;

bbe@2Chronicles:17:16 @After him Amasiah, the son of Zichri, who freely gave himself to the Lord, and with him two hundred thousand men of war;

bbe@2Chronicles:17:17 @And the captains of Benjamin: Eliada, a great man of war, and with him two hundred thousand armed with bows and body-covers;

bbe@2Chronicles:17:18 @And after him Jehozabad, and with him a hundred and eighty thousand trained for war.

bbe@2Chronicles:17:19 @These were the men who were waiting on the king, in addition to those placed by the king in the walled towns through all Judah.

bbe@2Chronicles:18:2 @And after some years he went down to Samaria to see Ahab. And Ahab made a feast for him and the people who were with him, putting to death great numbers of sheep and oxen; and he got Jehoshaphat to go with him to Ramoth-gilead.

bbe@2Chronicles:18:3 @For Ahab, king of Israel, said to Jehoshaphat, king of Judah, Will you go with me to Ramoth-gilead? And he said, I am as you are, and my people as your people; we will be with you in the war.

bbe@2Chronicles:18:5 @So the king of Israel got together all the prophets, four hundred men, and said to them, Am I to go to Ramoth-gilead to make war or not? And they said, Go up: for God will give it into the hands of the king.

bbe@2Chronicles:18:8 @Then the king of Israel sent for one of his unsexed servants and said, Go quickly and come back with Micaiah, the son of Imla.

bbe@2Chronicles:18:9 @Now the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat, the king of Judah, were seated on their seats of authority, dressed in their robes, by the doorway into Samaria; and all the prophets were acting as prophets before them.

bbe@2Chronicles:18:10 @And Zedekiah, the son of Chenaanah, made himself iron horns and said, The Lord says, Pushing back the Aramaeans with these, you will put an end to them completely

bbe@2Chronicles:18:11 @And all the prophets said the same thing, saying, Go up to Ramoth-gilead, and it will go well for you, for the Lord will give it into the hands of the king.

bbe@2Chronicles:18:12 @Now the servant who had gone to get Micaiah said to him, See now, all the prophets with one voice are saying good things to the king; so let your words be like theirs, and say good things.

bbe@2Chronicles:18:14 @When he came to the king, the king said to him, Micaiah, are we to go to Ramoth-gilead to make war or not? And he said, Go up, and it will go well for you; and they will be given up into your hands.

bbe@2Chronicles:18:16 @Then he said, I saw all Israel wandering on the mountains like sheep without a keeper; and the Lord said, These have no master: let them go back, every man to his house in peace.

bbe@2Chronicles:18:20 @Then a spirit came forward and took his place before the Lord and said, I will get him to do it by a trick. And the Lord said to him, How?

bbe@2Chronicles:18:21 @And he said, I will go out and be a spirit of deceit in the mouth of all his prophets. And the Lord said, Your trick will have its effect on him: go out and do so.

bbe@2Chronicles:18:22 @And now, see, the Lord has put a spirit of deceit in the mouth of these prophets of yours; and the Lord has said evil against you.

bbe@2Chronicles:18:23 @Then Zedekiah, the son of Chenaanah, came near and gave Micaiah a blow on the side of his face, saying, Where is the spirit of the Lord whose word is in you?

bbe@2Chronicles:18:31 @So when the captains of the war-carriages saw Jehoshaphat, they said, It is the king of Israel. And turning about, they came round him, but Jehoshaphat gave a cry, and the Lord came to his help, and God sent them away from him.

bbe@2Chronicles:18:33 @And a certain man sent an arrow from his bow without thought of its direction, and gave the king of Israel a wound where his breastplate was joined to his clothing; so he said to the driver of his war-carriage, Go to one side and take me away out of the army, for I am badly wounded.

bbe@2Chronicles:19:2 @And Jehu, the son of Hanani the seer, went to King Jehoshaphat and said to him, Is it right for you to go to the help of evil-doers, loving the haters of the Lord? because of this, the wrath of the Lord has come on you.

bbe@2Chronicles:19:6 @And said to the judges, Take care what you do, for you are judging not for man but for the Lord, and he is with you in the decisions you give.

bbe@2Chronicles:19:7 @So now let the fear of the Lord be in you; do your work with care; for in the Lord our God there is no evil, or respect for high position, or taking of payment to do wrong.

bbe@2Chronicles:19:8 @Then in Jerusalem he gave authority to certain of the Levites and the priests and the heads of families of Israel to give decisions for the Lord, and in the causes of those living in Jerusalem.

bbe@2Chronicles:19:9 @And he gave them their orders, saying, You are to do your work in the fear of the Lord, in good faith and with a true heart.

bbe@2Chronicles:19:11 @And now, Amariah, the chief priest, is over you in all questions to do with the Lord; and Zebadiah the son of Ishmael, the head of the family of Judah, in everything to do with the king's business; and the Levites will be overseers for you. Be strong to do the work; and may the Lord be with the upright.

bbe@2Chronicles:20:1 @Now after this, the children of Moab and the children of Ammon, and with them some of the Meunim, made war against Jehoshaphat.

bbe@2Chronicles:20:2 @And they came to Jehoshaphat with the news, saying, A great army is moving against you from Edom across the sea; and now they are in Hazazon-tamar (which is En-gedi).

bbe@2Chronicles:20:3 @Then Jehoshaphat, in his fear, went to the Lord for directions, and gave orders all through Judah for the people to go without food.

bbe@2Chronicles:20:7 @Did you not, O Lord our God, after driving out the people of this land before your people Israel, give it to the seed of Abraham, your friend, for ever?

bbe@2Chronicles:20:8 @And they made it their living-place, building there a holy house for your name, and saying,

bbe@2Chronicles:20:11 @See now, how as our reward they have come to send us out of your land which you have given us as our heritage.

bbe@2Chronicles:20:13 @And all Judah were waiting before the Lord, with their little ones, their wives, and their children.

bbe@2Chronicles:20:14 @Then, before all the meeting, the spirit of the Lord came on Jahaziel, the son of Zechariah, son of Benaiah, son of Jeiel, son of Mattaniah, a Levite and one of the family of Asaph;

bbe@2Chronicles:20:16 @Go down against them tomorrow: see, they are coming up by the slope of Ziz; at the end of the valley, before the waste land of Jeruel, you will come face to face with them.

bbe@2Chronicles:20:17 @There will be no need for you to take up arms in this fight; put yourselves in position, and keep where you are, and you will see the salvation of the Lord with you, O Judah and Jerusalem: have no fear and do not be troubled: go out against them tomorrow, for the Lord is with you.

bbe@2Chronicles:20:18 @Then Jehoshaphat went down with his face to the earth, and all Judah and the people of Jerusalem gave worship to the Lord, falling down before him.

bbe@2Chronicles:20:19 @And the Levites, the children of the Kohathites and the Korahites, got to their feet and gave praise to the Lord, the God of Israel, with a loud voice.

bbe@2Chronicles:20:20 @And early in the morning they got up and went out to the waste land of Tekoa: and when they were going out, Jehoshaphat took his station and said to them, Give ear to me, O Judah and you people of Jerusalem: have faith in the Lord your God and you will be safe; have faith in his prophets and all will go well for you.

bbe@2Chronicles:20:21 @And after discussion with the people, he put in their places those who were to make melody to the Lord, praising him in holy robes, while they went at the head of the army, and saying, May the Lord be praised, for his mercy is unchanging for ever.

bbe@2Chronicles:20:23 @And the children of Ammon and Moab made an attack on the people of Mount Seir with a view to their complete destruction; and when they had put an end to the people of Seir, everyman's hand was turned against his neighbour for his destruction.

bbe@2Chronicles:20:25 @And when Jehoshaphat and his people came to take their goods from them, they saw beasts in great numbers, and wealth and clothing and things of value, more than they were able to take away; all this they took for themselves, and they were three days getting it away, there was so much.

bbe@2Chronicles:20:27 @Then all the men of Judah and Jerusalem went back, with Jehoshaphat at their head, coming back to Jerusalem with joy; for the Lord had made them glad over their haters.

bbe@2Chronicles:20:28 @So they came to Jerusalem with corded instruments and wind-instruments into the house of the Lord.

bbe@2Chronicles:20:35 @After this Jehoshaphat, king of Judah, became friends with Ahaziah, king of Israel, who did much evil:

bbe@2Chronicles:20:37 @Then the word of Eliezer the prophet, the son of Dodavahu of Mareshah, came against Jehoshaphat, saying, Because you have let yourself be joined with Ahaziah, the Lord has sent destruction on your works. And the ships were broken and were not able to go to Tarshish.

bbe@2Chronicles:21:1 @And Jehoshaphat went to rest with his fathers, and his body was put into the earth in the town of David. And Jehoram his son became king in his place.

bbe@2Chronicles:21:4 @Now when Jehoram had taken his place over his father's kingdom, and had made his position safe, he put all his brothers to death with the sword, as well as some of the princes of Israel.

bbe@2Chronicles:21:7 @But it was not the Lord's purpose to send destruction on the family of David, because of the agreement he had made with David, when he said he would give to him and to his sons a light for ever.

bbe@2Chronicles:21:9 @Then Jehoram went over with his captains and all his war-carriages... made an attack by night on the Edomites, whose forces were all round him... on the captains of the war-carriages.

bbe@2Chronicles:21:10 @So Edom made themselves free from the rule of Judah, to this day: and at the same time Libnah made itself free from his rule; because he was turned away from the Lord, the God of his fathers.

bbe@2Chronicles:21:17 @And they came up against Judah, forcing a way into it, and took away all the goods in the king's house, as well as his sons and his wives; so that he had no son but only Jehoahaz, the youngest.

bbe@2Chronicles:21:18 @And after all this the Lord sent on him a disease of the stomach from which it was impossible for him to be made well.

bbe@2Chronicles:22:1 @And the people of Jerusalem made Ahaziah, his youngest son, king in his place, for the band of men who came with the Arabians to the army had put all the older sons to death. So Ahaziah, the son of Jehoram, became king.

bbe@2Chronicles:22:5 @Acting on their suggestion, he went with Jehoram, son of Ahab, king of Israel, to make war on Hazael, king of Aram, at Ramoth-gilead: and Joram was wounded by the bowmen.

bbe@2Chronicles:22:7 @Now by the purpose of God, Ahaziah's journey to see Jehoram was the cause of his downfall: for when he came there, he went out with Jehoram against Jehu, the son of Nimshi, who had been marked out by the Lord for the destruction of the family of Ahab.

bbe@2Chronicles:22:12 @And she kept him safe with her in the house of God for six years, while Athaliah was ruling the land.

bbe@2Chronicles:23:1 @In the seventh year, Jehoiada made himself strong, and made an agreement with the captains of hundreds, Azariah, the son of Jeroham, Ishmael, the son of Jehohanan, Azariah, the son of Obed, Maaseiah, the son of Adaiah, and Elishaphat, the son of Zichri.

bbe@2Chronicles:23:2 @And they went through Judah, getting together the Levites and the heads of families in Israel from all the towns of Judah, and they came to Jerusalem.

bbe@2Chronicles:23:3 @And all the people made an agreement with the king in the house of God. And he said to them, Truly, the king's son will be king, as the Lord has said about the sons of David.

bbe@2Chronicles:23:4 @This is what you are to do: let a third of you, of the priests and Levites, who come in on the Sabbath, keep the doors;

bbe@2Chronicles:23:5 @And a third are to be stationed at the king's house; and a third at the doorway of the horses: while all the people are waiting in the open spaces round the house of the Lord.

bbe@2Chronicles:23:6 @But let no one come into the house of the Lord but only the priests and those of the Levites who have work to do there; they may go in for they are holy; but the rest of the people are to keep the orders of the Lord.

bbe@2Chronicles:23:7 @And the Levites are to make a circle round the king, every man being armed; and any man who comes into the house is to be put to death; you are to keep with the king when he comes in and when he goes out.

bbe@2Chronicles:23:8 @So the Levites and all Judah did as Jehoiada the priest had given them orders: every one took with him his men, those who were to come in and those who were to go out on the Sabbath; for Jehoiada had not sent away the divisions.

bbe@2Chronicles:23:10 @And he put all the people in position, every man with his instruments of war in his hand, from the right side of the house to the left, by the altar and the house and all round the king.

bbe@2Chronicles:23:13 @And looking, she saw the king in his place by the pillar at the doorway, and the captains and the horns by his side; and all the people of the land were giving signs of joy and sounding the horns; and the makers of melody were playing on instruments of music, taking the chief part in the song of praise. Then Athaliah, violently parting her robes, said, Broken faith, broken faith!

bbe@2Chronicles:23:14 @Then Jehoiada the priest gave orders to the captains of hundreds who had authority over the army, saying, Take her outside the lines, and let anyone who goes after her be put to death with the sword. For the priest said, Let her not be put to death in the house of the Lord.

bbe@2Chronicles:23:17 @Then all the people went to the house of Baal and had it pulled down, and its altars and images broken up; and Mattan, the priest of Baal, they put to death before the altars.

bbe@2Chronicles:23:18 @And Jehoiada put the work and the care of the house of the Lord into the hands of the priests and the Levites, who had been grouped in divisions by David to make burned offerings to the Lord, as it is recorded in the law of Moses, with joy and song as David had said

bbe@2Chronicles:23:20 @Then he took the captains of hundreds and the chiefs and the rulers of the people and all the people of the land, and they came down with the king from the house of the Lord through the higher doorway into the king's house, and put the king on the seat of the kingdom.

bbe@2Chronicles:23:21 @So all the people of the land were glad and the town was quiet, for they had put Athaliah to death with the sword.

bbe@2Chronicles:24:5 @And getting together the priests and Levites, he said to them, Go out into the towns of Judah year by year, and get from all Israel money to keep the house of your God in good condition; and see that this is done without loss of time. The Levites, however, were slow in doing so.

bbe@2Chronicles:24:6 @Then the king sent for Jehoiada, the chief priest, and said to him, Why have you not given the Levites orders that the tax fixed by Moses, the servant of the Lord, and by the meeting of Israel, for the Tent of witness, is to be got in from Judah and Jerusalem and handed over?

bbe@2Chronicles:24:7 @For the house of the Lord had been broken up by Athaliah, that evil woman, and her sons; and all its holy things they had given to the Baals.

bbe@2Chronicles:24:8 @So at the king's order they made a chest and put it outside the doorway of the house of the Lord.

bbe@2Chronicles:24:11 @So when the chest was taken to the king's servants by the Levites, and they saw that there was much money in it, the king's scribe and the chief priest's servant took the money out, and put the chest back in its place. They did this day by day, and got together a great amount of money.

bbe@2Chronicles:24:12 @Then the king and Jehoiada gave it to those who were responsible for getting the work done on the Lord's house, and with it they got wall-builders and woodworkers and metal-workers to put the house of the Lord in good order again.

bbe@2Chronicles:24:13 @So the workmen did their work, making good what was damaged and building up the house of God till it was strong and beautiful again.

bbe@2Chronicles:24:14 @And when the work was done, they took the rest of the money to the king and Jehoiada, and it was used for making the vessels for the house of the Lord, all the vessels needed for the offerings, the spoons and the vessels of gold and silver. And as long as Jehoiada was living, the regular burned offerings were offered in the house of the Lord.

bbe@2Chronicles:24:19 @And the Lord sent them prophets to make them come back to him; and they gave witness against them, but they would not give ear.

bbe@2Chronicles:24:20 @Then the spirit of God came on Zechariah, the son of Jehoiada the priest, and, getting up before the people, he said to them, God has said, Why do you go against the orders of the Lord, so that everything goes badly for you? because you have given up the Lord, he has given you up

bbe@2Chronicles:24:21 @But when they had made a secret design against him, he was stoned with stones, by the king's order, in the outer square of the Lord's house.

bbe@2Chronicles:24:22 @So King Joash did not keep in mind how good Jehoiada his father had been to him, but put his son to death. And in the hour of his death he said, May the Lord see it and take payment!

bbe@2Chronicles:24:25 @And when they had gone away from him, (for he was broken with disease,) his servants made a secret design against him because of the blood of the son of Jehoiada the priest, and they put him to death on his bed; and they put his body into the earth in the town of David, but not in the resting-place of the kings.

bbe@2Chronicles:24:26 @Those who made designs against him were Zabad, the son of Shimeath, an Ammonite woman, and Jehozabad, the son of Shimrith, a Moabite woman.

bbe@2Chronicles:25:7 @But a man of God came to him, saying, O king, let not the army of Israel go with you; for the Lord is not with Israel, that is, the children of Ephraim.

bbe@2Chronicles:25:10 @So Amaziah, separating the armed band which had come to him from Ephraim, sent them back again; which made them very angry with Judah, and they went back burning with wrath.

bbe@2Chronicles:25:13 @But the men of the band which Amaziah sent back and did not take with him to the fight, made attacks on the towns of Judah from Samaria to Beth-horon, putting to death three thousand of their people and taking away a great store of their goods.

bbe@2Chronicles:25:14 @Now when Amaziah came back from the destruction of the Edomites, he took the gods of the children of Seir and made them his gods, worshipping them and burning offerings before them.

bbe@2Chronicles:25:16 @But while he was talking to him the king said to him, Have we made you one of the king's government? say no more, or it will be the cause of your death. Then the prophet gave up protesting, and said, It is clear to me that God's purpose is your destruction, because you have done this and have not given ear to my words.

bbe@2Chronicles:25:19 @You say, See, I have overcome Edom; and your heart is lifted up with pride: now keep in your country; why do you make causes of trouble, putting yourself, and Judah with you, in danger of downfall?

bbe@2Chronicles:25:23 @And Joash, king of Israel, made Amaziah, king of Judah, the son of Joash, the son of Jehoahaz, prisoner at Beth-shemesh, and took him to Jerusalem; and he had the wall of Jerusalem pulled down from the doorway of Ephraim to the doorway in the angle, four hundred cubits.

bbe@2Chronicles:25:24 @And he took all the gold and silver and all the vessels which were in the house of the Lord, under the care of Obed-edom, and all the wealth from the king's house, as well as those whose lives would be the price of broken faith, and went back to Samaria.

bbe@2Chronicles:25:28 @And they took his body on horseback and put it into the earth with his fathers in the town of David.

bbe@2Chronicles:26:8 @The Ammonites gave offerings to Uzziah: and news of him went out as far as the limit of Egypt; for he became very great in power.

bbe@2Chronicles:26:11 @In addition, Uzziah had an army of fighting-men who went out to war in bands, as they had been listed by Jeiel the scribe and Maaseiah the ruler, under the authority of Hananiah, one of the king's captains

bbe@2Chronicles:26:14 @And Uzziah had all these forces armed with body-covers and spears and head-covers and coats of metal and bows and stones for sending from leather bands.

bbe@2Chronicles:26:17 @And Azariah the priest went in after him, with eighty of the Lord's priests, who were strong men;

bbe@2Chronicles:26:18 @And they made protests to Uzziah the king, and said to him, The burning of perfumes, Uzziah, is not your business but that of the priests, the sons of Aaron, who have been made holy for this work: go out of the holy place, for you have done wrong, and it will not be to your honour before God.

bbe@2Chronicles:26:19 @Then Uzziah was angry; and he had in his hand a vessel for burning perfume; and while his wrath was bitter against the priests, the mark of the leper's disease came out on his brow, before the eyes of the priests in the house of the Lord by the altar of perfumes.

bbe@2Chronicles:26:23 @So Uzziah went to rest with his fathers; and they put his body into the earth in the field used for the resting-place of the kings, for they said, He is a leper: and Jotham his son became king in his place.

bbe@2Chronicles:27:4 @In addition, he made towns in the hill-country of Judah, and strong buildings and towers in the woodlands.

bbe@2Chronicles:27:5 @He went to war with the king of the children of Ammon and overcame them. That year, the children of Ammon gave him a hundred talents of silver, and ten thousand measures of grain and ten thousand measures of barley. And the children of Ammon gave him the same amount the second year and the third.

bbe@2Chronicles:27:9 @And Jotham went to rest with his fathers, and they put his body into the earth in the town of David; and Ahaz his son became king in his place.

bbe@2Chronicles:28:7 @And Zichri, a great fighting-man of Ephraim, put to death Maaseiah, the king's son, and Azrikam, the controller of his house, and Elkanah, who was second in authority to the king.

bbe@2Chronicles:28:9 @But a prophet of the Lord was there, named Oded; and he went out in front of the army which was coming into Samaria and said to them, Truly, because the Lord, the God of your fathers, was angry with Judah, he gave them up into your hands, and you have put them to death in an outburst of wrath stretching up to heaven.

bbe@2Chronicles:28:15 @And those men who have been named went up and took the prisoners, clothing those among them who were uncovered, with things from the goods which had been taken in the war, and putting robes on them and shoes on their feet; and they gave them food and drink and oil for their bodies, and seating all the feeble among them on asses, they took them to Jericho, the town of palm-trees, to their people, and then went back to Samaria

bbe@2Chronicles:28:17 @For the Edomites had come again, attacking Judah and taking away prisoners.

bbe@2Chronicles:28:18 @And the Philistines, forcing their way into the towns of the lowlands and the south of Judah, had taken Beth-shemesh and Aijalon and Gederoth and Soco, with their daughter-towns, as well as Timnah and Gimzo and their daughter-towns, and were living there.

bbe@2Chronicles:28:21 @For Ahaz took a part of the wealth from the house of the Lord, and from the house of the king and of the great men, and gave it to the king of Assyria; but it was no help to him.

bbe@2Chronicles:28:27 @And Ahaz went to rest with his fathers, and they put his body into the earth in Jerusalem; but they did not put him in the resting-place of the kings of Israel: and Hezekiah his son became king in his place.

bbe@2Chronicles:29:4 @And he sent for the priests and the Levites, and got them together in the wide place on the east side,

bbe@2Chronicles:29:5 @And said to them, Give ear to me, O Levites: now make yourselves holy, and make holy the house of the Lord, the God of your fathers, and take away everything unclean from the holy place.

bbe@2Chronicles:29:9 @For see, our fathers have been put to death with the sword, and our sons and daughters and wives have been taken away prisoners because of this.

bbe@2Chronicles:29:10 @Now it is my purpose to make an agreement with the Lord, the God of Israel, so that the heat of his wrath may be turned away from us.

bbe@2Chronicles:29:12 @Then the Levites took their places; Mahath, the son of Amasai, and Joel, the son of Azariah, among the Kohathites; and of the sons of Merari, Kish, the son of Abdi, and Azariah, the son of Jehallelel; and of the Gershonites, Joah, the son of Zimmah, and Eden, the son of Joah;

bbe@2Chronicles:29:16 @And the priests went into the inner part of the house of the Lord to make it clean, and everything unclean which was to be seen in the Temple of the Lord they took out into the outer square of the Lord's house, and the Levites got it together and took it away to the stream Kidron.

bbe@2Chronicles:29:18 @Then they went in to King Hezekiah and said, We have made all the house of the Lord clean, as well as the altar of burned offerings with all its vessels, and the table for the holy bread, with all its vessels.

bbe@2Chronicles:29:21 @And they took with them seven oxen and seven male sheep and seven lambs and seven he-goats as a sin-offering for the kingdom and for the holy house and for Judah. And he gave orders to the sons of Aaron, the priests, that these were to be offered on the altar of the Lord.

bbe@2Chronicles:29:24 @And the priests put them to death, and made a sin-offering with their blood on the altar, to take away the sin of all Israel: for the king gave orders that the burned offering and the sin-offering were for all Israel.

bbe@2Chronicles:29:25 @Then he put the Levites in their places in the house of the Lord, with brass and corded instruments of music as ordered by David and Gad, the king's seer, and Nathan the prophet: for the order was the Lord's, given by his prophets.

bbe@2Chronicles:29:26 @So the Levites took their places with David's instruments, and the priests with their horns.

bbe@2Chronicles:29:27 @And Hezekiah gave the word for the burned offering to be offered on the altar. And when the burned offering was started, then the song of the Lord was started, with the blowing of horns and with all the instruments of David, king of Israel.

bbe@2Chronicles:29:29 @And at the end of the offering, the king and all who were present with him gave worship with bent heads.

bbe@2Chronicles:29:30 @Then King Hezekiah and the captains gave orders to the Levites to give praise to God in the words of David and Asaph the seer. And they made songs of praise with joy, and with bent heads gave worship.

bbe@2Chronicles:29:34 @There were not enough priests for the work of cutting up all the burned offerings; so their brothers the Levites gave them help till the work was done and the priests had made themselves holy: for the Levites were more upright in heart to make themselves holy than the priests.

bbe@2Chronicles:29:35 @And there was a great amount of burned offerings, with the fat of the peace-offerings and the drink offerings for every burned offering. So the work of the Lord's house was put in order.

bbe@2Chronicles:30:2 @For the king, after discussion with his chiefs and all the body of the people in Jerusalem, had made a decision to keep the Passover in the second month.

bbe@2Chronicles:30:3 @It was not possible to keep it at that time, because not enough priests had made themselves holy, and the people had not come together in Jerusalem.

bbe@2Chronicles:30:5 @So it was ordered that word was to be sent out through all Israel, from Beer-sheba to Dan, that they were to come to keep the Passover to the Lord, the God of Israel, at Jerusalem: because they had not kept it in great numbers in agreement with the law.

bbe@2Chronicles:30:6 @So runners went with letters from the king and his chiefs through all Israel and Judah, by the order of the king, saying, O children of Israel, come back again to the Lord, the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, so that he may come again to that small band of you which has been kept safe out of the hands of the kings of Assyria.

bbe@2Chronicles:30:9 @For if you come back to the Lord, those who took away your brothers and your children will have pity on them, and let them come back to this land: for the Lord your God is full of grace and mercy, and his face will not be turned away from you if you come back to him.

bbe@2Chronicles:30:15 @Then on the fourteenth day of the second month they put the Passover lambs to death: and the priests and the Levites were shamed, and made themselves holy and took burned offerings into the house of the Lord.

bbe@2Chronicles:30:16 @And they took their places in their right order, as it was ordered in the law of Moses, the man of God: the priests draining out on the altar the blood given them by the Levites.

bbe@2Chronicles:30:17 @For there were still a number of the people there who had not made themselves holy: so the Levites had to put Passover lambs to death for those who were not clean, to make them holy to the Lord.

bbe@2Chronicles:30:19 @Who, with all his heart, is turned to God the Lord, the God of his fathers, even if he has not been made clean after the rules of the holy place

bbe@2Chronicles:30:21 @So the children of Israel who were present in Jerusalem kept the feast of unleavened bread for seven days with great joy: and the Levites and the priests gave praise to the Lord day by day, making melody to the Lord with loud instruments.

bbe@2Chronicles:30:22 @And Hezekiah said kind words to the Levites who were expert in the ordering of the worship of the Lord: so they kept the feast for seven days, offering peace-offerings and praising the Lord, the God of their fathers.

bbe@2Chronicles:30:23 @And by the desire of all the people, the feast went on for another seven days, and they kept the seven days with joy.

bbe@2Chronicles:30:25 @And all the people of Judah, with the priests and the Levites, and those who had come from Israel, and men from other lands who had come from Israel or who were living in Judah, were glad with great joy.

bbe@2Chronicles:30:27 @Then the priests and the Levites gave the people a blessing: and the voice of their prayer went up to the holy place of God in heaven.

bbe@2Chronicles:31:2 @Then Hezekiah put in order the divisions of the priests and Levites, every man in his division, in relation to his work, for the burned offerings and peace-offerings, and for the ordering of worship and for giving praise at the doors of the Lord's house.

bbe@2Chronicles:31:3 @And he gave the king's part of his private property for the burned offerings, that is, for the morning and evening offerings, and the offerings for the Sabbath and the new moons and the regular feasts, as it is recorded in the law of the Lord.

bbe@2Chronicles:31:4 @In addition, he gave orders to the people of Jerusalem to give to the priests and Levites that part which was theirs by right, so that they might be strong in keeping the law of the Lord.

bbe@2Chronicles:31:5 @And when the order was made public, straight away the children of Israel gave, in great amounts, the first-fruits of their grain and wine and oil and honey, and of the produce of their fields; and they took in a tenth part of everything, a great store.

bbe@2Chronicles:31:6 @And the children of Israel and Judah, who were living in the towns of Judah came with the tenth part of their oxen and sheep, and a tenth of all the holy things which were to be given to the Lord their God, and put them in great masses.

bbe@2Chronicles:31:9 @Then Hezekiah put questions to the priests and Levites about the store of goods.

bbe@2Chronicles:31:10 @And Azariah, the chief priest, of the family of Zadok, said in answer, From the time when the people first came with their offerings into the house of the Lord, we have had food enough, and more than enough: for the blessing of the Lord is on his people; and there is this great store which has not been used.

bbe@2Chronicles:31:12 @And in them they put all the offerings and the tenths and the holy things, keeping nothing back, and over them was Conaniah the Levite, with Shimei his brother second to him.

bbe@2Chronicles:31:14 @And Kore, the son of Imnah the Levite, the keeper of the east door, had control of the offerings freely given to God, and the distribution of the offerings of the Lord and the most holy things.

bbe@2Chronicles:31:15 @And under him were Eden and Miniamin and Jeshua and Shemaiah and Amariah and Shecaniah, in the towns of the priests, who were made responsible for giving it to all their brothers, by divisions, to small and great:

bbe@2Chronicles:31:16 @As well as to all the males, of three years old and over, listed by their families, who went into the house of the Lord to do what was needed day by day, for their special work with their divisions.

bbe@2Chronicles:31:17 @And the families of the priests were listed by their fathers' names, but the Levites, of twenty years old and over, were listed in relation to their work in their divisions;

bbe@2Chronicles:31:18 @And in the lists were all their little ones and their wives and their sons and daughters, through all the people: they made themselves holy in the positions which they were given.

bbe@2Chronicles:31:19 @And as for the sons of Aaron, the priests, living in the country on the outskirts of their towns, every different town there were men, marked out by name, to give their part of the goods to all the males among the priests, and to all who were listed among the Levites.

bbe@2Chronicles:31:21 @And for everything he undertook, in connection with the work of the house of God and his law and orders, he got directions from God and did it with serious purpose; and things went well for him

bbe@2Chronicles:32:1 @Now after these things and this true-hearted work, Sennacherib, king of Assyria, came into Judah, and put his army in position before the walled towns of Judah, designing to make his way into them by force.

bbe@2Chronicles:32:3 @He took up with his rulers and men of war the question of stopping up the water-springs outside the town; and they gave him their support.

bbe@2Chronicles:32:5 @Then he took heart, building up the wall where it was broken down, and making its towers higher, and building another wall outside; and he made strong the Millo in the town of David, and got together a great store of all sorts of instruments of war.

bbe@2Chronicles:32:7 @Be strong and take heart; have no fear, and do not be troubled on account of the king of Assyria and all the great army with him: for there is a greater with us.

bbe@2Chronicles:32:8 @With him is an arm of flesh; but we have the Lord our God, helping us and fighting for us. And the people put their faith in what Hezekiah, king of Judah, said.

bbe@2Chronicles:32:9 @After this, Sennacherib, king of Assyria, sent his servants to Jerusalem (at that time he was stationed with all his army in front of Lachish), to say to Hezekiah and all the men of Judah in Jerusalem,

bbe@2Chronicles:32:10 @Sennacherib, king of Assyria, says, In what are you placing your hope, waiting here in the walled town of Jerusalem?

bbe@2Chronicles:32:11 @Is it not Hezekiah who has got you to do it, causing your death from need of food and water, by saying, The Lord our God will give us salvation out of the hands of the king of Assyria?

bbe@2Chronicles:32:12 @Has not this same Hezekiah taken away his high places and his altars, saying to Judah and Jerusalem, Give worship before one altar only, burning offerings on it?

bbe@2Chronicles:32:14 @Who was there among all the gods of those nations, which my fathers put to destruction, who was able to keep his people safe from my hands? and is it possible that your God will keep you safe from my hands?

bbe@2Chronicles:32:15 @So do not be tricked by Hezekiah or let him get you to do this, and do not put any faith in what he says: for no god of any nation or kingdom has been able to keep his people safe from my hands, or the hands of my fathers: how much less will your God keep you safe from my hands!

bbe@2Chronicles:32:17 @And he sent letters, in addition, to put shame on the Lord, the God of Israel, and to say evil against him, saying, As the gods of the nations of other lands have not been able to keep their people safe from my hands, no more will the God of Hezekiah keep his people safe from my hands.

bbe@2Chronicles:32:18 @These things they said, crying out with a loud voice in the Jews' language, to the people of Jerusalem who were on the wall, with the purpose of troubling them and putting fear into them, so that they might take the town;

bbe@2Chronicles:32:21 @And the Lord sent an angel who put to death all the men of war and the chiefs and the captains in the army of the king of Assyria. So he went back to his country in shame. And when he came into the house of his god, his sons, the offspring of his body, put him to death there with the sword.

bbe@2Chronicles:32:23 @And great numbers came to Jerusalem with offerings for the Lord, and things of great price for Hezekiah, king of Judah: so that he was honoured among all nations from that time

bbe@2Chronicles:32:30 @It was Hezekiah who had the higher spring of the water of Gihon stopped, and the water taken down on the west side of the town of David. In everything he undertook, Hezekiah did well.

bbe@2Chronicles:32:33 @So Hezekiah went to rest with his fathers, and they put his body into the higher part of the resting-places of the sons of David: and all Judah and the people of Jerusalem gave him honour at his death. And Manasseh his son became king in his place.

bbe@2Chronicles:33:6 @More than this, he made his children go through the fire in the valley of the son of Hinnom; and he made use of secret arts, and signs for reading the future, and unnatural powers, and gave positions to those who had control of spirits and to wonder-workers: he did much evil in the eyes of the Lord, moving him to wrath.

bbe@2Chronicles:33:16 @And he put the altar of the Lord in order, offering peace-offerings and praise-offerings on it, and said that all Judah were to be servants of the Lord, the God of Israel.

bbe@2Chronicles:33:20 @So Manasseh went to rest with his fathers, and they put his body to rest in his house, and Amon his son became king in his place.

bbe@2Chronicles:34:2 @And he did what was right in the eyes of the Lord, walking in the ways of his father David, without turning to the right hand or to the left.

bbe@2Chronicles:34:9 @And they came to Hilkiah, the chief priest, and gave him all the money which had been taken into the house of God, which the Levites, the keepers of the door, had got from Manasseh and Ephraim and those of Israel who had not been taken away as prisoners, and from all Judah and Benjamin and the people of Jerusalem.

bbe@2Chronicles:34:10 @And they gave it to the overseers of the work of the Lord's house, and the overseers gave it to the workmen working in the house, for building it up and making good what was damaged;

bbe@2Chronicles:34:12 @And the men did the work well; and those who had authority over them were Jahath and Obadiah, Levites of the sons of Merari, and Zechariah and Meshullam, of the sons of the Kohathites, who were to be responsible for seeing that the work was done; and others of the Levites, who were expert with instruments of music,

bbe@2Chronicles:34:13 @Had authority over the transport workers, giving directions to all who were doing any sort of work; and among the Levites there were scribes and overseers and door-keepers.

bbe@2Chronicles:34:17 @They have taken out all the money which was in the Lord's house and have given it to the overseers and to the workmen.

bbe@2Chronicles:34:18 @Then Shaphan the scribe said to the king, Hilkiah the priest has given me a book; and he made a start at reading some of it to the king.

bbe@2Chronicles:34:19 @And the king, hearing the words of the law, took his robe in his hands, violently parting it as a sign of his grief.

bbe@2Chronicles:34:22 @So Hilkiah, and those whom the king sent, went to Huldah the woman prophet, the wife of Shallum, the son of Tokhath, the son of Hasrah, the keeper of the robes (now she was living in Jerusalem, in the second part of the town); and they had talk with her about this thing.

bbe@2Chronicles:34:24 @These are the words of the Lord: See, I will send evil on this place and on its people, even all the curses in the book which they have been reading before the king of Judah;

bbe@2Chronicles:34:27 @And your heart was soft, and you made yourself low before God, on hearing his words about this place and its people, and with weeping and signs of grief have made yourself low before me, I have given ear to you, says the Lord God.

bbe@2Chronicles:34:28 @See, I will let you go to your fathers, and be put in your last resting-place in peace, and your eyes will not see all the evil which I will send on this place and on its people. So they took this news back to the king.

bbe@2Chronicles:34:30 @And the king went up to the house of the Lord, with all the men of Judah and the people of Jerusalem, and the priests and the Levites and all the people, small and great; and they were present at his reading of the book of the law which had come to light in the house of the Lord.

bbe@2Chronicles:34:31 @Then the king, taking his place by the pillar, made an agreement before the Lord, to go in the way of the Lord, and to keep his orders and his decisions and his rules with all his heart and with all his soul, and to keep the words of the agreement recorded in this book.

bbe@2Chronicles:34:32 @And he made all the people in Jerusalem and Benjamin give their word to keep it. And the people of Jerusalem kept the agreement of God, the God of their fathers.

bbe@2Chronicles:35:3 @And he said to the Levites, the teachers of all Israel, who were holy to the Lord, See, the holy ark is in the house which Solomon, the son of David, king of Israel, made; it will no longer have to be transported on your backs: now be the servants of the Lord your God and his people Israel,

bbe@2Chronicles:35:4 @And make yourselves ready in your divisions, by your families, as it is ordered in the writings of David, king of Israel, and of Solomon his son;

bbe@2Chronicles:35:5 @And take your positions in the holy place, grouped in the families of your brothers, the children of the people, and for every division let there be a part of a family of the Levites.

bbe@2Chronicles:35:6 @And put the Passover lamb to death, and make yourselves holy, and make it ready for your brothers, so that the orders given by the Lord through Moses may be done.

bbe@2Chronicles:35:8 @And his captains freely gave an offering to the people, the priests, and the Levites. Hilkiah and Zechariah and Jehiel, the rulers of the house of God, gave to the priests for the Passover offerings two thousand, six hundred small cattle and three hundred oxen.

bbe@2Chronicles:35:9 @And Conaniah and Shemaiah and Nethanel, his brothers, and Hashabiah and Jeiel and Jozabad, the chiefs of the Levites, gave to the Levites for the Passover offerings five thousand small cattle and five hundred oxen.

bbe@2Chronicles:35:10 @So everything was made ready and the priests took their places with the Levites in their divisions, as the king had said.

bbe@2Chronicles:35:11 @And they put the Passover lambs to death, the blood being drained out by the priests when it was given to them, and the Levites did the skinning.

bbe@2Chronicles:35:12 @And they took away the burned offerings, so that they might give them to be offered to the Lord for the divisions of the families of the people, as it is recorded in the book of Moses. And they did the same with the oxen.

bbe@2Chronicles:35:13 @And the Passover lamb was cooked over the fire, as it says in the law; and the holy offerings were cooked in pots and basins and vessels, and taken quickly to all the people.

bbe@2Chronicles:35:14 @And after that, they made ready for themselves and for the priests; for the priests, the sons of Aaron, were offering the burned offerings and the fat till night; so the Levites made ready what was needed for themselves and for the priests, the sons of Aaron.

bbe@2Chronicles:35:15 @And the sons of Asaph, the makers of melody, were in their places, as ordered by David and Asaph and Heman and Jeduthun, the king's seer; and the door-keepers were stationed at every door: there was no need for them to go away from their places, for their brothers the Levites made ready for them.

bbe@2Chronicles:35:18 @No Passover like it had been kept in Israel from the days of Samuel the prophet; and not one of the kings of Israel had ever kept a Passover like the one kept by Josiah and the priests and the Levites and all those of Judah and Israel who were present, and the people of Jerusalem.

bbe@Ezra:4:9 @The letter was sent by Rehum, the chief ruler, and Shimshai the scribe and their friends; the Dinaites and the Apharsathchites, the Tarpelites, the Apharsites, the Archevites, the Babylonians, the Shushanchites, the Dehaites, the Elamites,

bbe@Ezra:4:13 @The king may be certain that when the building of this town and its walls is complete, they will give no tax or payment in goods or forced payments, and in the end it will be a cause of loss to the kings.

bbe@Ezra:4:14 @Now because we are responsible to the king, and it is not right for us to see the king's honour damaged, we have sent to give the king word of these things,

bbe@Ezra:4:15 @So that search may be made in the book of the records of your fathers: and you will see in the book of the records that this town has been uncontrolled, and a cause of trouble to kings and countries, and that there were outbursts against authority there in the past: for which reason the town was made waste.

bbe@Ezra:4:16 @We give you word, that if the building of this town and its walls is made complete, there will be an end of your power in the country across the river.

bbe@Ezra:4:19 @And I gave orders for a search to be made, and it is certain that in the past this town has made trouble for kings, and that outbursts against authority have taken place there.

bbe@Ezra:4:22 @Be certain to do this with all care: do not let trouble be increased to the king's damage.

bbe@Ezra:4:24 @So the work of the house of God at Jerusalem came to an end; so it was stopped, till the second year of the rule of Darius, king of Persia.

bbe@Ezra:5:2 @Then Zerubbabel, the son of Shealtiel, and Jeshua, the son of Jozadak, got up and made a start at building the house of God at Jerusalem: and the prophets of God were with them, helping them.

bbe@Ezra:5:5 @But the eye of their God was on the chiefs of the Jews, and they did not make them give up working till the question had been put before Darius and an answer had come by letter about it.

bbe@Ezra:5:6 @This is a copy of the letter which Tattenai, the ruler of the land across the river, and Shethar-bozenai and his friends the Apharsachites, living across the river, sent to Darius the king:

bbe@Ezra:5:8 @This is to give the king word that we went into the land of Judah, to the house of the great God, which is made of great stones, and has its walls supported with wood, and the work is going on with industry, and they are doing it well.

bbe@Ezra:5:9 @Then we said to the men responsible, who gave you authority for the building of this house and these walls?

bbe@Ezra:5:15 @And he said to him, Go, take these vessels, and put them in the Temple in Jerusalem, and let the house of God be put up again in its place.

bbe@Ezra:5:16 @Then this same Sheshbazzar came and put the house of God in Jerusalem on its bases: and from that time till now the building has been going on, but it is still not complete.

bbe@Ezra:5:17 @So now, if it seems good to the king, let search be made in the king's store-house at Babylon, to see if it is true that an order was given by Cyrus the king for the building of this house of God at Jerusalem, and let the king send us word of his pleasure in connection with this business.

bbe@Ezra:6:3 @In the first year of Cyrus the king, Cyrus the king made an order: In connection with the house of God at Jerusalem, let the house be put up, the place where they make offerings, and let the earth for the bases be put in place; let it be sixty cubits high and sixty cubits wide;

bbe@Ezra:6:4 @With three lines of great stones and one line of new wood supports; and let the necessary money be given out of the king's store-house;

bbe@Ezra:6:5 @And let the gold and silver vessels from the house of God, which Nebuchadnezzar took from the Temple at Jerusalem to Babylon, be given back and taken again to the Temple at Jerusalem, every one in its place, and put them in the house of God.

bbe@Ezra:6:6 @So now, Tattenai, ruler of the land across the river, and Shethar-bozenai and your people the Apharsachites across the river, keep far from that place:

bbe@Ezra:6:7 @Let the work of this house of God go on; let the ruler of the Jews and their responsible men put up this house of God in its place.

bbe@Ezra:6:8 @Further, I give orders as to what you are to do for the responsible men of the Jews in connection with the building of this house of God: that from the king's wealth, that is, from the taxes got together in the land over the river, the money needed is to be given to these men readily, so that their work may not be stopped.

bbe@Ezra:6:10 @So that they may make offerings of a sweet smell to the God of heaven, with prayers for the life of the king and of his sons.

bbe@Ezra:6:11 @And I have given orders that if anyone makes any change in this word, one of the supports is to be pulled out of his house, and he is to be lifted up and fixed to it; and his house is to be made waste for this;

bbe@Ezra:6:12 @And may the God who has made it a resting-place for his name send destruction on all kings and peoples whose hands are outstretched to make any change in this or to do damage to this house of God at Jerusalem. I, Darius, have given this order, let it be done with all care.

bbe@Ezra:6:13 @Then Tattenai, the ruler across the river, and Shethar-bozenai and their people, because of the order given by King Darius, did as he had said with all care.

bbe@Ezra:6:14 @And the responsible men of the Jews went on with their building, and did well, helped by the teaching of Haggai the prophet and Zechariah, the son of Iddo

bbe@Ezra:6:16 @And the children of Israel, the priests and the Levites, and the rest of those who had come back, kept the feast of the opening of this house of God with joy.

bbe@Ezra:6:18 @And they put the priests in their divisions and the Levites in their order, for the worship of God at Jerusalem; as it is recorded in the book of Moses.

bbe@Ezra:6:20 @For the priests and the Levites had made themselves clean together; they were all clean: and they put the Passover lamb to death for all those who had come back, and for their brothers the priests and for themselves.

bbe@Ezra:6:22 @And kept the feast of unleavened bread for seven days with joy: for the Lord had made them full of joy, by turning the heart of the king of Assyria to them to give them help in the work of the house of God, the God of Israel.

bbe@Ezra:7:2 @The son of Shallum, the son of Zadok, the son of Ahitub,

bbe@Ezra:7:7 @And some of the children of Israel went up, with some of the priests and the Levites and the music-makers and the door-keepers and the Nethinim, to Jerusalem, in the seventh year of Artaxerxes the king.

bbe@Ezra:7:10 @For Ezra had given his mind to learning the law of the Lord and doing it, and to teaching his rules and decisions in Israel.

bbe@Ezra:7:11 @Now this is a copy of the letter which King Artaxerxes gave to Ezra, the priest and the scribe, who put into writing the words of the orders of the Lord, and of his rules for Israel:

bbe@Ezra:7:13 @And now it is my order that all those of the people of Israel, and their priests and Levites in my kingdom, who are ready and have a desire to go to Jerusalem, are to go with you.

bbe@Ezra:7:15 @And to take with you the silver and gold freely offered by the king and his wise men to the God of Israel, whose Temple is in Jerusalem,

bbe@Ezra:7:16 @As well as all the silver and gold which you get from the land of Babylon, together with the offering of the people and of the priests, freely given for the house of their God, which is in Jerusalem:

bbe@Ezra:7:17 @So with this money get with care oxen, sheep, and lambs, with their meal offerings and their drink offerings, to be offered on the altar of the house of your God, which is in Jerusalem.

bbe@Ezra:7:18 @And whatever seems right to you and to your brothers to do with the rest of the silver and gold, that do, as may be pleasing to your God.

bbe@Ezra:7:20 @And whatever more is needed for the house of your God, and which you may have to give, take it from the king's store-house.

bbe@Ezra:7:21 @And I, even I, Artaxerxes the king, now give orders to all keepers of the king's money across the river, that whatever Ezra the priest, the scribe of the law of the God of heaven, may have need of from you, is to be done with all care,

bbe@Ezra:7:22 @Up to a hundred talents of silver, a hundred measures of grain, a hundred measures of wine, and a hundred measures of oil, and salt without measure.

bbe@Ezra:7:23 @Whatever is ordered by the God of heaven, let it be done completely for the house of the God of heaven; so that there may not be wrath against the kingdom of the king and his sons.

bbe@Ezra:7:24 @In addition, we make it clear to you, that it will be against the law to put any tax or payment in goods or forced payment on any of the priests or Levites, the music-makers, door-keepers, Nethinim, or any servants of this house of God.

bbe@Ezra:7:25 @And you, Ezra, by the wisdom of your God which is in you, are to put rulers and judges to have authority over all the people across the river who have knowledge of the laws of your God; and you are to give teaching to him who has no knowledge of them.

bbe@Ezra:7:28 @And has given mercy to me before the king and his government and before all the king's great captains. And I was made strong by the hand of the Lord my God which was on me, and I got together out of Israel chief men to go up with me.

bbe@Ezra:8:1 @Now these are the heads of families who were listed of those who went up with me from Babylon, when Artaxerxes was king.

bbe@Ezra:8:2 @Of the sons of Phinehas, Gershom; of the sons of Ithamar, Daniel; of the sons of David, Hattush;

bbe@Ezra:8:3 @Of the sons of Shecaniah; of the sons of Parosh, Zechariah; and with him were listed a hundred and fifty males.

bbe@Ezra:8:4 @Of the sons of Pahath-moab, Eliehoenai, the son of Zerahiah; and with him two hundred males.

bbe@Ezra:8:5 @Of the sons of Shecaniah, the son of Jahaziel; and with him three hundred males.

bbe@Ezra:8:6 @And of the sons of Adin, Ebed, the son of Jonathan; and with him fifty males.

bbe@Ezra:8:7 @And of the sons of Elam, Jeshaiah; the son of Athaliah; and with him seventy males.

bbe@Ezra:8:8 @And of the sons of Shephatiah, Zebadiah, the son of Michael; and with him eighty males.

bbe@Ezra:8:9 @Of the sons of Joab, Obadiah, the son of Jehiel; and with him two hundred and eighteen males.

bbe@Ezra:8:10 @And of the sons of Shelomith, the son of Josiphiah; and with him a hundred and sixty males.

bbe@Ezra:8:11 @And of the sons of Bebai, Zechariah, the son of Bebai; and with him twenty-eight males.

bbe@Ezra:8:12 @And of the sons of Azgad, Johanan, the son of Hakkatan; and with him a hundred and ten males.

bbe@Ezra:8:13 @And of the sons of Adonikam, the last, whose names were Eliphelet, Jeuel, and Shemaiah; and with them sixty males.

bbe@Ezra:8:14 @And of the sons of Bigvai, Uthai and Zabbud; and with them seventy males.

bbe@Ezra:8:17 @And I sent them to Iddo the chief at the place Casiphia, and gave them orders what to say to Iddo and his brothers the Nethinim at the place Casiphia, so that they might come back to us with men to do the work of the house of our God.

bbe@Ezra:8:18 @And by the help of our God they got for us Ish-sechel, one of the sons of Mahli, the son of Levi, the son of Israel; and Sherebiah with his sons and brothers, eighteen;

bbe@Ezra:8:19 @And Hashabiah, and with him Jeshaiah of the sons of Merari, his brothers and their sons, twenty;

bbe@Ezra:8:20 @And of the Nethinim, to whom David and the captains had given the work of helping the Levites, two hundred and twenty Nethinim, all of them specially named.

bbe@Ezra:8:21 @Then I gave orders for a time of going without food, there by the river Ahava, so that we might make ourselves low before our God in prayer, requesting from him a straight way for us and for our little ones and for all our substance.

bbe@Ezra:8:23 @So we went without food, requesting our God for this: and his ear was open to our prayer.

bbe@Ezra:8:24 @So I put on one side twelve of the chiefs of the priests, Sherebiah, Hashabiah, and ten of their brothers with them,

bbe@Ezra:8:29 @Take care of them and keep them, till you put them on the scales before the chiefs of the priests and the Levites and the chiefs of the families of Israel, in Jerusalem, in the rooms of the house of the Lord.

bbe@Ezra:8:30 @So the priests and the Levites took the weight of silver and gold and the vessels, to take them to Jerusalem into the house of our God.

bbe@Ezra:8:31 @Then we went away from the river of Ahava on the twelfth day of the first month, to go to Jerusalem; and the hand of our God was on us, and he gave us salvation from our haters and those who were waiting to make an attack on us by the way.

bbe@Ezra:8:33 @And on the fourth day, the silver and the gold and the vessels were measured out by weight in the house of our God into the hands of Meremoth, the son of Uriah, the priest; and with him was Eleazar, the son of Phinehas; and with them were Jozabad, the son of Jeshua, and Noadiah, the son of Binnui, the Levites;

bbe@Ezra:9:1 @Now after these things were done, the captains came to me and said, The people of Israel and the priests and Levites have not kept themselves separate from the people of the lands, but have taken part in the disgusting ways of the Canaanites, the Hittites, the Perizzites, the Jebusites, the Ammonites, the Moabites, the Egyptians, and the Amorites.

bbe@Ezra:9:2 @For they have taken their daughters for themselves and for their sons, so that the holy seed has been mixed with the peoples of the lands; and in fact the captains and rulers have been the first to do this evil.

bbe@Ezra:9:3 @And hearing this, with signs of grief and pulling out the hair of my head and my chin, I took my seat on the earth deeply troubled.

bbe@Ezra:9:4 @Then everyone who went in fear of the words of the God of Israel, because of the sin of those who had come back, came together to me; and I kept where I was, overcome with grief, till the evening offering.

bbe@Ezra:9:5 @And at the evening offering, having made myself low before God, I got up, and with signs of grief, falling down on my knees, with my hands stretched out to the Lord my God,

bbe@Ezra:9:7 @From the days of our fathers till this day we have been great sinners; and for our sins, we and our kings and our priests have been given up into the hands of the kings of the lands, to the sword and to prison and to loss of goods and to shame of face, as it is this day.

bbe@Ezra:9:8 @And now for a little time grace has come to us from the Lord our God, to let a small band of us get free and to give us a nail in his holy place, so that our God may give light to our eyes and a measure of new life in our prison chains.

bbe@Ezra:9:9 @For we are servants; but our God has not been turned away from us in our prison, but has had mercy on us before the eyes of the kings of Persia, to give us new strength to put up again the house of our God and to make fair its waste places, and to give us a wall in Judah and Jerusalem.

bbe@Ezra:9:11 @Which you gave to your servants the prophets, saying, The land into which you are going, to take it for a heritage, is an unclean land, because of the evil lives of the peoples of the land and their disgusting ways, which have made the land unclean from end to end.

bbe@Ezra:9:12 @So now do not give your daughters to their sons or take their daughters for your sons or do anything for their peace or well-being for ever; so that you may be strong, living on the good of the land, and handing it on to your children for a heritage for ever.

bbe@Ezra:9:14 @Are we again to go against your orders, taking wives from among the people who do these disgusting things? would you not be angry with us till our destruction was complete, till there was not one who got away safe?

bbe@Ezra:10:1 @Now while Ezra was making his prayer and his statement of wrongdoing, weeping and falling down before the house of God, a very great number of men and women and children out of Israel came together round him: for the people were weeping bitterly.

bbe@Ezra:10:3 @Let us now make an agreement with our God to put away all the wives and all their children, if it seems right to my lord and to those who go in fear of the words of our God; and let it be done in keeping with the law.

bbe@Ezra:10:4 @Up, now! for this is your business, and we are with you; take heart and do it.

bbe@Ezra:10:5 @Then Ezra got up, and made the chiefs of the priests and the Levites and all Israel take an oath that they would do this. So they took an oath.

bbe@Ezra:10:9 @Then all the men of Judah and Benjamin came together to Jerusalem before three days were past; it was the ninth month, on the twentieth day of the month; and all the people were seated in the wide square in front of the house of God, shaking with fear because of this business and because of the great rain

bbe@Ezra:10:12 @Then all the people, answering, said with a loud voice, As you have said, so it is right for us to do.

bbe@Ezra:10:13 @But the number of people is great, and it is a time of much rain; it is not possible for us to go on waiting outside, and this is not a thing which may be done in one day or even two: for our sin in this business is great.

bbe@Ezra:10:14 @So now let our rulers be representatives for all the people, and let all those in our towns who are married to strange women come at fixed times, and with them the responsible men and the judges of every town, till the burning wrath of our God is turned away from us, and this has been done.

bbe@Ezra:10:15 @Only Jonathan, the son of Asahel, and Jahzeiah, the son of Tikvah, were against this, Meshullam and Shabbethai the Levite supporting them.

bbe@Ezra:10:16 @So those who had come back did so. And Ezra the priest, with certain heads of families, by their fathers' families, all of them by their names, were marked out; and on the first day of the tenth month they took their places to go into the question with care.

bbe@Ezra:10:23 @And of the Levites, Jozabad, and Shimei, and Kelaiah (that is Kelita), Pethahiah, Judah, and Eliezer.

bbe@Ezra:10:43 @Of the sons of Nebo, Jeiel, Mattithiah, Zabad, Zebina, Iddo, and Joel, Benaiah.

bbe@Nehemiah:1:1 @The history of Nehemiah, the son of Hacaliah. Now it came about, in the month Chislev, in the twentieth year, when I was in Shushan, the king's town,

bbe@Nehemiah:1:2 @That Hanani, one of my brothers, came with certain men from Judah; and in answer to my request for news of the Jews who had been prisoners and had got away, and of Jerusalem,

bbe@Nehemiah:1:3 @They said to me, The small band of Jews now living there in the land are in great trouble and shame: the wall of Jerusalem has been broken down, and its doorways burned with fire.

bbe@Nehemiah:1:5 @And said, O Lord, the God of heaven, the great God, greatly to be feared, keeping faith and mercy with those who have love for him and are true to his laws:

bbe@Nehemiah:2:1 @And it came about in the month Nisan, in the twentieth year of Artaxerxes the king, when wine was before him, that I took up the wine and gave it to the king. Now I had never before been sad when the king was present.

bbe@Nehemiah:2:3 @And said to the king, May the king be living for ever: is it not natural for my face to be sad, when the town, the place where the bodies of my fathers are at rest, has been made waste and its doorways burned with fire?

bbe@Nehemiah:2:5 @And I said to the king, If it is the king's pleasure, and if your servant has your approval, send me to Judah, to the town where the bodies of my fathers are at rest, so that I may take in hand the building of it.

bbe@Nehemiah:2:7 @Further, I said to the king, If it is the king's pleasure, let letters be given to me for the rulers across the river, so that they may let me go through till I come to Judah;

bbe@Nehemiah:2:9 @Then I came to the rulers of the lands across the river and gave them the king's letters. Now the king had sent with me captains of the army and horsemen.

bbe@Nehemiah:2:10 @And Sanballat the Horonite and Tobiah the servant, the Ammonite, hearing of it, were greatly troubled because a man had come to the help of the children of Israel.

bbe@Nehemiah:2:12 @And in the night I got up, taking with me a small band of men; I said nothing to any man of what God had put into my heart to do for Jerusalem: and I had no beast with me but the one on which I was seated.

bbe@Nehemiah:2:13 @And I went out by night, through the doorway of the valley, and past the dragon's water-spring as far as the place where waste material was put, viewing the walls of Jerusalem which were broken down, and the doorways which had been burned with fire.

bbe@Nehemiah:2:17 @Then I said to them, You see what a bad condition we are in; how Jerusalem is a waste, and its doorways burned with fire: come, let us get to work, building up the wall of Jerusalem, so that we may no longer be put to shame.

bbe@Nehemiah:2:19 @But Sanballat the Horonite and Tobiah the servant, the Ammonite, and Geshem the Arabian, hearing of it, made sport of us, laughing at us and saying, What are you doing? will you go against the king?

bbe@Nehemiah:2:20 @Then answering them I said, The God of heaven, he will be our help; so we his servants will go on with our building: but you have no part or right or any name in Jerusalem.

bbe@Nehemiah:3:1 @Then Eliashib, the chief priest, got up with his brothers the priests, and took in hand the building of the sheep doorway; they made it holy and put its doors in position; as far as the tower of Hammeah they made it holy, even to the tower of Hananel.

bbe@Nehemiah:3:3 @The sons of Hassenaah were the builders of the fish doorway; they put its boards in place and put up its doors, with their locks and rods.

bbe@Nehemiah:3:5 @Near them, the Tekoites were at work; but their chiefs did not put their necks to the work of their Lord.

bbe@Nehemiah:3:6 @Joiada, the son of Paseah, and Meshullam, the son of Besodeiah, made good the old doorway; they put its boards in place and put up its doors, with their locks and rods.

bbe@Nehemiah:3:7 @By their side were working Melatiah the Gibeonite and Jadon the Meronothite, the men of Gibeon and of Mizpah from the seat of the ruler across the river.

bbe@Nehemiah:3:10 @By his side was Jedaiah, the son of Harumaph, opposite his house

bbe@Nehemiah:3:12 @Near them was Shallum, the son of Hallohesh, the ruler of half Jerusalem, with his daughters.

bbe@Nehemiah:3:13 @Hanun and the people of Zanoah were working on the doorway of the valley; they put it up and put up its doors, with their locks and rods, and a thousand cubits of wall as far as the doorway where the waste material was placed.

bbe@Nehemiah:3:14 @And Malchijah, the son of Rechab, the ruler of the division of Beth-haccherem, made good the doorway of the waste, building it up and putting up its doors, with their locks and rods.

bbe@Nehemiah:3:15 @And Shallun, the son of Col-hozeh, the ruler of the division of Mizpah, made good the doorway of the fountain, building it up and covering it and putting up its doors, with their locks and rods, with the wall of the pool of Shelah by the king's garden, as far as the steps which go down from the town of David.

bbe@Nehemiah:3:16 @By his side was working Nehemiah, the son of Azbuk, ruler of half the division of Beth-zur, as far as the place opposite the last resting-places of David's family, and the pool which was made and the house of the men of war.

bbe@Nehemiah:3:17 @Then came the Levites, Rehum, the son of Bani. By his side was working Hashabiah, ruler of half the division of Keilah, for his division.

bbe@Nehemiah:3:19 @And by his side was working Ezer, the son of Jeshua, the ruler of Mizpah, making good another part opposite the way up to the store of arms at the turning of the wall.

bbe@Nehemiah:3:23 @After them came Benjamin and Hasshub, opposite their house. After them Azariah, the son of Maaseiah, the son of Ananiah, made good the wall by the house where he himself was living.

bbe@Nehemiah:3:25 @Palal, the son of Uzai, made good the wall opposite the angle and the tower which comes out from the higher part of the king's house, by the open space of the watch. After him was Pedaiah, the son of Parosh.

bbe@Nehemiah:3:27 @After him the Tekoites were making good another part, opposite the great tower which comes out, and up to the wall of the Ophel.

bbe@Nehemiah:3:28 @Further on, past the horse doorway, the priests were at work, every one opposite his house.

bbe@Nehemiah:3:29 @After them Zadok, the son of Immer, was working opposite his house. And after him Shemaiah, the son of Shecaniah, the keeper of the east door.

bbe@Nehemiah:3:30 @After him Hananiah, the son of Shelemiah, and Hanun, the sixth son of Zalaph, were making good another part. After him Meshullam, the son of Berechiah, made good the wall opposite his room.

bbe@Nehemiah:3:31 @After him Malchijah, one of the gold-workers to the Nethinim and the traders, made good the wall opposite the doorway of Hammiphkad and as far as the way up to the angle.

bbe@Nehemiah:4:3 @Now Tobiah the Ammonite was by him, and he said, Such is their building that if a fox goes up it, their stone wall will be broken down.

bbe@Nehemiah:4:7 @But when it came to the ears of Sanballat and Tobiah and the Arabians and the Ammonites and the Ashdodites, that the building of the walls of Jerusalem was going forward and the broken places were being made good, they were full of wrath;

bbe@Nehemiah:4:10 @And Judah said, The strength of the workmen is giving way, and there is much waste material; it is impossible for us to put up the wall

bbe@Nehemiah:4:11 @And those who were against us said, Without their knowledge and without their seeing us, we will come among them and put them to death, causing the work to come to a stop.

bbe@Nehemiah:4:12 @And it came about that when the Jews who were living near them came, they said to us ten times, From all directions they are coming against us.

bbe@Nehemiah:4:13 @So in the lowest part of the space at the back of the walls, in the open places, I put the people by families, with their swords, their spears, and their bows.

bbe@Nehemiah:4:15 @And when it came to the ears of those who were against us, that we had knowledge of their designs and that God had made their purpose come to nothing, we all went back to the wall, everyone to his work

bbe@Nehemiah:4:17 @Those who were building the wall and those who were moving material did their part, everyone working with one hand, with his spear in the other;

bbe@Nehemiah:4:18 @Every builder was working with his sword at his side. And by my side was a man for sounding the horn.

bbe@Nehemiah:4:21 @So we went on with the work: and half of them had spears in their hands from the dawn of the morning till the stars were seen.

bbe@Nehemiah:4:22 @And at the same time I said to the people, Let everyone with his servant come inside Jerusalem for the night, so that at night they may keep watch for us, and go on working by day.

bbe@Nehemiah:4:23 @So not one of us, I or my brothers or my servants or the watchmen who were with me, took off his clothing, everyone went armed to the water.

bbe@Nehemiah:5:5 @But our flesh is the same as the flesh of our countrymen, and our children as their children: and now we are giving our sons and daughters into the hands of others, to be their servants, and some of our daughters are servants even now: and we have no power to put a stop to it; for other men have our fields and our vine-gardens.

bbe@Nehemiah:5:7 @And after turning it over in my mind, I made a protest to the chiefs and the rulers, and said to them, Every one of you is taking interest from his countryman. And I got together a great meeting of protest.

bbe@Nehemiah:5:9 @And I said, What you are doing is not good: is it not the more necessary for you to go in the fear of our God, because of the shame which the nations may put on us?

bbe@Nehemiah:5:13 @And shaking out the folds of my robe, I said, So may God send out from his house and his work every man who does not keep this agreement; even so let him be sent out and made as nothing. And all the meeting of the people said, So be it, and gave praise to the Lord. And the people did as they had said.

bbe@Nehemiah:5:16 @And I kept on with the work of this wall, and we got no land for ourselves: and all my servants were helping with the work.

bbe@Nehemiah:5:17 @And more than this, a hundred and fifty of the Jews and the rulers were guests at my table, in addition to those who came to us from the nations round about us.

bbe@Nehemiah:6:1 @Now when word was given to Sanballat and Tobiah and to Geshem the Arabian and to the rest of our haters, that I had done the building of the wall and that there were no more broken places in it (though even then I had not put up the doors in the doorways);

bbe@Nehemiah:6:2 @Sanballat and Geshem sent to me saying, Come, let us have a meeting in one of the little towns in the lowland of Ono. But their purpose was to do me evil.

bbe@Nehemiah:6:3 @And I sent men to them saying, I am doing a great work, so that it is not possible for me to come down: is the work to be stopped while I go away from it and come down to you?

bbe@Nehemiah:6:5 @Then Sanballat sent his servant to me a fifth time with an open letter in his hand;

bbe@Nehemiah:6:6 @And in it these words were recorded: It is said among the nations, and Geshem says so, that you and the Jews are hoping to make yourselves free from the king's authority; and that this is why you are building the wall: and they say that it is your purpose to be their king;

bbe@Nehemiah:6:9 @For they were hoping to put fear in us, saying, Their hands will become feeble and give up the work so that it may not get done. But now, O God, make my hands strong.

bbe@Nehemiah:6:11 @And I said, Am I the sort of man to go in flight? what man, in my position, would go into the Temple to keep himself safe? I will not go in.

bbe@Nehemiah:6:12 @Then it became clear to me that God had not sent him: he had given this word of a prophet against me himself: and Tobiah and Sanballat had given him money to do so.

bbe@Nehemiah:6:18 @For in Judah there were a number of people who had made an agreement by oath with him, because he was the son-in-law of Shecaniah, the son of Arah; and his son Jehohanan had taken as his wife the daughter of Meshullam, the son of Berechiah.

bbe@Nehemiah:6:19 @And they said much before me of the good he had done, and gave him accounts of my words. And Tobiah sent letters with the purpose of causing me fear.

bbe@Nehemiah:7:1 @Now when the building of the wall was complete and I had put up the doors, and the door-keepers and the music-makers and the Levites had been given their places,

bbe@Nehemiah:7:2 @I made my brother Hanani, and Hananiah, the ruler of the tower, responsible for the government of Jerusalem: for he was a man of good faith, fearing God more than most.

bbe@Nehemiah:7:3 @And I said to them, Do not let the doors of Jerusalem be open till the sun is high; and while the watchmen are in their places, let the doors be shut and locked: and let the people of Jerusalem be put on watch, every one in his watch, opposite his house.

bbe@Nehemiah:7:4 @Now the town was wide and great: but the people in it were only a small number, and the houses had not been put up.

bbe@Nehemiah:7:5 @And my God put it into my heart to get together the rulers and the chiefs and the people so that they might be listed by families. And I came across a record of the names of those who came up at the first, and in it I saw these words:

bbe@Nehemiah:7:7 @Who came with Zerubbabel, Jeshua, Nehemiah, Azariah, Raamiah, Nahamani, Mordecai, Bilshan, Mispereth, Bigvai, Nehum, Baanah. The number of the men of the people of Israel:

bbe@Nehemiah:7:43 @The Levites: the children of Jeshua, of Kadmiel, of the children of Hodevah, seventy-four.

bbe@Nehemiah:7:45 @The door-keepers: the children of Shallum, the children of Ater, the children of Talmon, the children of Akkub, the children of Hatita, the children of Shobai, a hundred and thirty-eight.

bbe@Nehemiah:7:54 @The children of Bazlith, the children of Mehida, the children of Harsha,

bbe@Nehemiah:7:61 @All these were the people who went up from Tel-melah, Tel-harsha, Cherub, Addon, and Immer; but because they had no knowledge of their fathers' families or offspring, it was not certain if they were Israelites:

bbe@Nehemiah:7:63 @And of the priests: the children of Hobaiah, the children of Hakkoz, the children of Barzillai, who was married to one of the daughters of Barzillai the Gileadite, and took their name.

bbe@Nehemiah:7:73 @So the priests and the Levites and the door-keepers and the music-makers and some of the people and the Nethinim, and all Israel, were living in their towns.

bbe@Nehemiah:8:2 @And Ezra the priest put the law before the meeting of the people, before the men and women and all those who were able to take it in, on the first day of the seventh month.

bbe@Nehemiah:8:3 @He was reading it in the wide place in front of the water-doorway, from early morning till the middle of the day, in the hearing of all those men and women whose minds were able to take it in; and the ears of all the people were open to the book of the law.

bbe@Nehemiah:8:4 @And Ezra the scribe took his place on a tower of wood which they had made for the purpose; and by his side were placed Mattithiah and Shema and Anaiah and Uriah and Hilkiah and Maaseiah on the right; and on the left, Pedaiah and Mishael and Malchijah and Hashum and Hashbaddanah, Zechariah and Meshullam.

bbe@Nehemiah:8:5 @And Ezra took the book, opening it before the eyes of all the people (for he was higher than the people); and when it was open, all the people got to their feet:

bbe@Nehemiah:8:6 @And Ezra gave praise to the Lord, the great God. And all the people in answer said, So be it, so be it; lifting up their hands; and with bent heads they gave worship to the Lord, going down on their faces to the earth.

bbe@Nehemiah:8:7 @And Jeshua and Bani and Sherebiah and Jamin, Akkub, Shabbethai, Hodiah, Maaseiah, Kelita, Azariah, Jozabad, Hanan, Pelaiah, and the Levites made the law clear to the people: and the people kept in their places.

bbe@Nehemiah:8:8 @And they gave out the words of the book the law of God, clearly, and gave the sense of it, so that their minds were able to take it in.

bbe@Nehemiah:8:9 @And Nehemiah, who was the Tirshatha, and Ezra, the priest and scribe, and the Levites who were the teachers of the people, said to all the people, This day is holy to the Lord your God; let there be no sorrow or weeping; for all the people were weeping on hearing the words of the law.

bbe@Nehemiah:8:11 @So the Levites made all the people quiet, saying, Be quiet, for the day is holy; and do not give way to grief.

bbe@Nehemiah:8:13 @And on the second day the heads of families of all the people and the priests and the Levites came together to Ezra the scribe, to give attention to the words of the law.

bbe@Nehemiah:8:14 @And they saw that it was recorded in the law that the Lord had given orders by Moses, that the children of Israel were to have tents for their living-places in the feast of the seventh month:

bbe@Nehemiah:8:15 @And that they were to give out an order, and make it public in all their towns and in Jerusalem, saying, Go out to the mountain and get olive branches and branches of field olives and of myrtle, and palm branches and branches of thick trees, to make tents, as it says in the book.

bbe@Nehemiah:9:4 @Then Jeshua, and Bani, Kadmiel, Shebaniah, Bunni, Sherebiah, Bani, and Chenani took their places on the steps of the Levites, crying in a loud voice to the Lord their God.

bbe@Nehemiah:9:5 @Then the Levites, Jeshua, and Kadmiel, Bani, Hashabneiah, Sherebiah, Hodiah, Shebaniah, and Pethahiah said, Get up and give praise to the Lord your God for ever and ever. Praise be to your great name which is lifted up high over all blessing and praise.

bbe@Nehemiah:9:6 @You are the Lord, even you only; you have made heaven, the heaven of heavens with all their armies, the earth and all things in it, the seas and everything in them; and you keep them from destruction: and the armies of heaven are your worshippers.

bbe@Nehemiah:9:8 @You saw that his heart was true to you, and made an agreement with him to give the land of the Canaanite, the Hittite, the Amorite and the Perizzite and the Jebusite and the Girgashite, even to give it to his seed, and you have done what you said; for righteousness is yours:

bbe@Nehemiah:9:10 @And you did signs and wonders on Pharaoh and all his servants and all the people of his land; for you saw how cruel they were to them. So you got yourself a name as it is today.

bbe@Nehemiah:9:15 @And you gave them bread from heaven when they were in need, and made water come out of the rock for their drink, and gave them orders to go in and take for their heritage the land which your hand had been lifted up to give them.

bbe@Nehemiah:9:17 @And would not do them, and gave no thought to the wonders you had done among them; but made their necks stiff, and turning away from you, made a captain over themselves to take them back to their prison in Egypt: but you are a God of forgiveness, full of grace and pity, slow to wrath and great in mercy, and you did not give them up.

bbe@Nehemiah:9:20 @And you gave your good spirit to be their teacher, and did not keep back your manna from their mouths, and gave them water when they had need of it

bbe@Nehemiah:9:22 @And you gave them kingdoms and peoples, making distribution to them in every part of the land: so they took for their heritage the land of Sihon, even the land of the king of Heshbon, and the land of Og, king of Bashan.

bbe@Nehemiah:9:23 @And you made their children as great in number as the stars of heaven, and took them into the land, of which you had said to their fathers that they were to go in and take it for themselves.

bbe@Nehemiah:9:24 @So the children went in and took the land, and you overcame before them the people of the land, the Canaanites, and gave them up into their hands, with their kings and the people of the land, so that they might do with them whatever it was their pleasure to do.

bbe@Nehemiah:9:25 @And they took walled towns and a fat land, and became the owners of houses full of all good things, water-holes cut in the rock, vine-gardens and olive-gardens and a wealth of fruit-trees: so they had food enough and became fat, and had joy in the good you gave them.

bbe@Nehemiah:9:26 @But they were hard-hearted, and went against your authority, turning their backs on your law, and putting to death your prophets, who gave witness against them with the purpose of turning them back again to you, and they did much to make you angry.

bbe@Nehemiah:9:29 @And gave witness against them so that you might make them come back again to your law: but their hearts were lifted up, and they gave no attention to your orders and went against your decisions (which, if a man keeps them, will be life to him), and turning their backs on you, made their necks stiff and did not give ear.

bbe@Nehemiah:9:30 @Year after year you put up with them, and gave witness against them by your spirit through your prophets: still they did not give ear: and so you gave them up into the hands of the peoples of the lands.

bbe@Nehemiah:9:32 @And now, our God, the great, the strong, the God who is to be feared, who keeps faith and mercy, let not all this trouble seem small to you, which has come on us, and on our kings and our rulers and on our priests and our prophets and our fathers and on all your people from the time of the kings of Assyria till this day.

bbe@Nehemiah:9:34 @And our kings, our rulers, our priests, and our fathers have not kept your law or given attention to your orders and your witness, with which you gave witness against them.

bbe@Nehemiah:9:36 @Now, today, we are servants, and as for the land which you gave to our fathers, so that the produce of it and the good might be theirs, see, we are servants in it:

bbe@Nehemiah:9:37 @And it gives much increase to the kings whom you have put over us because of our sins: and they have power over our bodies and over our cattle at their pleasure, and we are in great trouble.

bbe@Nehemiah:9:38 @And because of all this we are making an agreement in good faith, and putting it in writing; and our rulers, our Levites, and our priests are putting their names to it.

bbe@Nehemiah:10:9 @And the Levites: by name, Jeshua, the son of Azaniah, Binnui, of the sons of Henadad, Kadmiel,

bbe@Nehemiah:10:10 @And their brothers, Shebaniah, Hodiah, Kelita, Pelaiah, Hanan,

bbe@Nehemiah:10:28 @And the rest of the people, the priests, the Levites, the door-keepers, the music-makers, the Nethinim, and all those who had made themselves separate from the peoples of the lands, to keep the law of God, their wives, their sons, and their daughters, everyone who had knowledge and wisdom;

bbe@Nehemiah:10:29 @They were united with their brothers, their rulers, and put themselves under a curse and an oath, to keep their steps in the way of God's law, which was given by Moses, the servant of God, and to keep and do all the orders of the Lord, our Lord, and his decisions and his rules;

bbe@Nehemiah:10:31 @And if the peoples of the lands come to do trade in goods or food on the Sabbath day, that we would do no trade with them on the Sabbath or on a holy day: and that in the seventh year we would take no payment from any debtor.

bbe@Nehemiah:10:34 @And we, the priests and the Levites and the people, made selection, by the decision of the Lord, of those who were to take the wood offering into the house of God, by families at the regular times, year by year, to be burned on the altar of the Lord our God, as it is recorded in the law;

bbe@Nehemiah:10:35 @And to take the first-fruits of our land, and the first-fruits of every sort of tree, year by year, into the house of the Lord;

bbe@Nehemiah:10:36 @As well as the first of our sons and of our cattle, as it is recorded in the law, and the first lambs of our herds and of our flocks, which are to be taken to the house of our God, to the priests who are servants in the house of our God:

bbe@Nehemiah:10:37 @And that we would take the first of our rough meal, and our lifted offerings, and the fruit of every sort of tree, and wine and oil, to the priests, to the rooms of the house of our God; and the tenth of the produce of our land to the Levites; for they, the Levites, take a tenth in all the towns of our ploughed land.

bbe@Nehemiah:10:38 @And the priest, the son of Aaron, is to be with the Levites, when the Levites take the tenths: and the Levites are to take a tenth of the tenths into the house of our God, to the rooms, into the store-house;

bbe@Nehemiah:10:39 @For the children of Israel and the children of Levi are to take the lifted offering of the grain and wine and oil into the rooms where the vessels of the holy place are, together with the priests and the door-keepers and the makers of music: and we will not give up caring for the house of our God.

bbe@Nehemiah:11:3 @Now these are the chiefs of the divisions of the country who were living in Jerusalem: but in the towns of Judah everyone was living on his heritage in the towns, that is, Israel, the priests, the Levites, the Nethinim, and the children of Solomon's servants.

bbe@Nehemiah:11:5 @And Maaseiah, the son of Baruch, the son of Col-hozeh, the son of Hazaiah, the son of Adaiah, the son of Joiarib, the son of Zechariah, the son of the Shilonite.

bbe@Nehemiah:11:6 @All the sons of Perez living in Jerusalem were four hundred and sixty-eight men of good position.

bbe@Nehemiah:11:7 @And these are the sons of Benjamin: Sallu, the son of Meshullam, the son of Joed, the son of Pedaiah, the son of Kolaiah, the son of Maaseiah, the son of Ithiel, the son of Jeshaiah.

bbe@Nehemiah:11:11 @Seraiah, the son of Hilkiah, the son of Meshullam, the son of Zadok, the son of Meraioth, the son of Ahitub, the ruler of the house of God,

bbe@Nehemiah:11:15 @And of the Levites: Shemaiah, the son of Hasshub, the son of Azrikam, the son of Hashabiah, the son of Bunni,

bbe@Nehemiah:11:16 @And Shabbethai and Jozabad, of the chiefs of the Levites, who were responsible for the outside business of the house of God;

bbe@Nehemiah:11:18 @All the Levites in the holy town were two hundred and eighty-four.

bbe@Nehemiah:11:19 @In addition the door-keepers, Akkub, Talmon, and their brothers who kept watch at the doors, were a hundred and seventy-two.

bbe@Nehemiah:11:20 @And the rest of Israel, of the priests, the Levites, were in all the towns of Judah, every one in his heritage.

bbe@Nehemiah:11:22 @And the overseer of the Levites at Jerusalem was Uzzi, the son of Bani, the son of Hashabiah, the son of Mattaniah, the son of Mica, of the sons of Asaph, the music-makers, who was over the business of the house of God.

bbe@Nehemiah:11:24 @And Pethahiah, the son of Meshezabel, of the sons of Zerah, the son of Judah, was the king's servant in everything to do with the people.

bbe@Nehemiah:11:25 @And for the daughter-towns with their fields, some of the men of Judah were living in Kiriath-arba and its daughter-towns, and in Dibon and its daughter-towns, and in Jekabzeel and its daughter-towns,

bbe@Nehemiah:11:27 @And in Hazar-shual, and in Beer-sheba and its daughter-towns,

bbe@Nehemiah:11:30 @Zanoah, Adullam and their daughter-towns, Lachish and its fields, Azekah and its daughter-towns. So they were living from Beer-sheba to the valley of Hinnom.

bbe@Nehemiah:11:31 @And the children of Benjamin were living from Geba, at Michmash and Aija, and at Beth-el and its daughter-towns,

bbe@Nehemiah:11:33 @Hazor, Ramah, Gittaim,

bbe@Nehemiah:11:36 @And of the Levites, certain divisions in Judah were joined to Benjamin.

bbe@Nehemiah:12:1 @Now these are the priests and the Levites who went up with Zerubbabel, the son of Shealtiel, and Jeshua: Seraiah, Jeremiah, Ezra,

bbe@Nehemiah:12:8 @And the Levites: Jeshua, Binnui, Kadmiel, Sherebiah, Judah, and Mattaniah, who was over the music-makers, he and his brothers.

bbe@Nehemiah:12:9 @And Bakbukiah and Unno, their brothers, were opposite them in their watches.

bbe@Nehemiah:12:22 @The Levites in the days of Eliashib, Joiada, and Johanan, and Jaddua, were listed as heads of families; and the priests, when Darius the Persian was king.

bbe@Nehemiah:12:24 @And the chiefs of the Levites: Hashabiah, Sherebiah, and Jeshua, the son of Kadmiel, with their brothers opposite them, to give blessing and praise as ordered by David, the man of God, watch against watch.

bbe@Nehemiah:12:27 @And when the time came for the wall of Jerusalem to be made holy, they sent for the Levites out of all their places to come to Jerusalem, to keep the feast with joy, and with praise and melody, with brass and corded instruments of music.

bbe@Nehemiah:12:28 @And the sons of the music-makers came together from the lowland round about Jerusalem and from the daughter-towns of the Netophathites,

bbe@Nehemiah:12:30 @And the priests and the Levites made themselves clean; and they made the people clean, and the doorways and the wall.

bbe@Nehemiah:12:31 @Then I made the rulers of Judah come up on the wall, and I put in position two great bands of them who gave praise, walking in ordered lines; one went to the right on the wall, in the direction of the doorway where the waste was put;

bbe@Nehemiah:12:35 @And certain of the priests' sons with wind instruments; Zechariah, the son of Jonathan, the son of Shemaiah, the son of Mattaniah, the son of Micaiah, the son of Zaccur, the son of Asaph,

bbe@Nehemiah:12:36 @And his brothers, Shemaiah, and Azarel, Milalai, Gilalai, Maai, Nethanel and Judah, Hanani, with the music-instruments of David, the man of God; and Ezra the scribe was at their head;

bbe@Nehemiah:12:38 @And the other band of those who gave praise went to the left, and I went after them with half the people, on the wall, over the tower of the ovens, as far as the wide wall;

bbe@Nehemiah:12:40 @So the two bands of those who gave praise took up their positions in the house of God, and I and half of the chiefs with me:

bbe@Nehemiah:12:41 @And the priests; Eliakim, Maaseiah, Miniamin, Micaiah, Elioenai, Zechariah, and Hananiah, with wind instruments;

bbe@Nehemiah:12:42 @And Maaseiah and Shemaiah and Eleazar and Uzzi and Jehohanan and Malchijah and Elam and Ezer. And the makers of melody made their voices loud, with Jezrahiah their overseer.

bbe@Nehemiah:12:43 @And on that day they made great offerings and were glad; for God had made them glad with great joy; and the women and the children were glad with them: so that the joy of Jerusalem came to the ears of those who were far off.

bbe@Nehemiah:12:44 @And on that day certain men were put over the rooms where the things which had been given were stored, for the lifted offerings and the first-fruits and the tenths, and to take into them the amounts, from the fields of every town, fixed by the law for the priests and the Levites: for Judah was glad on account of the priests and the Levites who were in their places.

bbe@Nehemiah:12:45 @And they kept the watch of their God, and were responsible for making things clean, and so did the music-makers and the door-keepers, as it was ordered by David and Solomon his son.

bbe@Nehemiah:12:47 @And all Israel in the days of Zerubbabel and in the days of Nehemiah gave what was needed by the music-makers and the door-keepers day by day: and they made the offerings holy for the Levites; and the Levites did the same for the sons of Aaron.

bbe@Nehemiah:13:1 @On that day there was a reading from the book of Moses in the hearing of the people; and they saw that it said in the book that no Ammonite or Moabite might ever come into the meeting of God;

bbe@Nehemiah:13:5 @Had made ready for him a great room, where at one time they kept the meal offerings, the perfume, and the vessels and the tenths of the grain and wine and oil which were given by order to the Levites and the music-makers and the door-keepers, and the lifted offerings for the priests.

bbe@Nehemiah:13:7 @And I came to Jerusalem; and it was clear to me what evil Eliashib had done for Tobiah, in making ready for him a room in the buildings of the house of God.

bbe@Nehemiah:13:8 @And it was evil in my eyes: so I had all Tobiah's things put out of the room.

bbe@Nehemiah:13:9 @Then I gave orders, and they made the rooms clean: and I put back in them the vessels of the house of God, with the meal offerings and the perfume.

bbe@Nehemiah:13:10 @And I saw that the Levites had not been given what was needed for their support; so that the Levites and the music-makers, who did the work, had gone away, everyone to his field.

bbe@Nehemiah:13:12 @Then all Judah came with the tenth part of the grain and wine and oil and put it into the store-houses.

bbe@Nehemiah:13:13 @And I made controllers over the store-houses, Shelemiah the priest and Zadok the scribe, and of the Levites, Pedaiah: and with them was Hanan, the son of Zaccur the son of Mattaniah: they were taken to be true men and their business was the distribution of these things to their brothers.

bbe@Nehemiah:13:14 @Keep me in mind, O my God, in connection with this, and do not let the good which I have done for the house of my God and its worship go from your memory completely.

bbe@Nehemiah:13:15 @In those days, I saw in Judah some who were crushing grapes on the Sabbath, and getting in grain and putting it on asses; as well as wine and grapes and figs and all sorts of goods which they took into Jerusalem on the Sabbath day: and I gave witness against them on the day when they were marketing food

bbe@Nehemiah:13:16 @And there were men of Tyre there, who came with fish and all sorts of goods, trading with the children of Judah and in Jerusalem on the Sabbath.

bbe@Nehemiah:13:21 @Then I gave witness against them and said, Why are you waiting all night by the wall? if you do so again I will have you taken prisoners. From that time they did not come again on the Sabbath.

bbe@Nehemiah:13:22 @And I gave the Levites orders to make themselves clean and come and keep the doors and make the Sabbath holy. Keep this in mind to my credit, O my God, and have mercy on me, for great is your mercy.

bbe@Nehemiah:13:26 @Was it not in these things that Solomon, king of Israel, did wrong? among a number of nations there was no king like him, and he was dear to his God, and God made him king over all Israel: but even he was made to do evil by strange women.

bbe@Nehemiah:13:27 @Are we then without protest to let you do all this great evil, sinning against our God by taking strange women for your wives?

bbe@Nehemiah:13:28 @And one of the sons of Joiada, the son of Eliashib, the chief priest, was son-in-law to Sanballat the Horonite: so I sent him away from me.

bbe@Nehemiah:13:29 @Keep them in mind, O my God, because they have put shame on the priests' name and on the agreement of the priests and the Levites.

bbe@Nehemiah:13:30 @So I made them clean from all strange people, and had regular watches fixed for the priests and for the Levites, everyone in his work;

bbe@Nehemiah:13:31 @And for the wood offering, at fixed times, and for the first fruits. Keep me in mind, O my God, for good.

bbe@Esther:1:1 @Now it came about in the days of Ahasuerus, (that Ahasuerus who was ruler of a hundred and twenty-seven divisions of the kingdom, from India as far as Ethiopia:)

bbe@Esther:1:6 @There were fair hangings of white and green and blue, fixed with cords of purple and the best linen to silver rings and pillars of polished stone: the seats were of gold and silver on a floor of red and white and yellow and black stone.

bbe@Esther:1:8 @And the drinking was in keeping with the law; no one was forced: for the king had given orders to all the chief servants of his house to do as was pleasing to every man.

bbe@Esther:1:10 @On the seventh day, when the heart of the king was glad with wine, he gave orders to Mehuman, Biztha, Harbona, Bigtha, and Abagtha, Zethar, and Carcas, the seven unsexed servants who were waiting before Ahasuerus the king,

bbe@Esther:1:11 @That Vashti the queen was to come before him, crowned with her crown, and let the people and the captains see her: for she was very beautiful.

bbe@Esther:1:12 @But when the servants gave her the king's order, Vashti the queen said she would not come: then the king was very angry, and his heart was burning with wrath.

bbe@Esther:1:13 @And the king said to the wise men, who had knowledge of the times, (for this was the king's way with all who were expert in law and in the giving of decisions:

bbe@Esther:1:17 @For news of what the queen has done will come to the ears of all women, and they will no longer give respect to their husbands when it is said to them, King Ahasuerus gave orders for Vashti the queen to come before him and she came not.

bbe@Esther:1:19 @If it is pleasing to the king, let an order go out from him, and let it be recorded among the laws of the Persians and the Medes, so that it may never be changed, that Vashti is never again to come before King Ahasuerus; and let the king give her place to another who is better than she.

bbe@Esther:1:20 @And when this order, given by the king, is made public through all his kingdom (for it is great), all the wives will give honour to their husbands, great as well as small.

bbe@Esther:1:22 @And sent letters to all the divisions of the kingdom, to every division in the writing commonly used there, and to every people in the language which was theirs, saying that every man was to be the ruler in his house, and that this order was to be given out in the language of his people.

bbe@Esther:2:2 @Then the servants who were waiting on the king said to him, Let search be made for some fair young virgins for the king:

bbe@Esther:2:3 @Let the king give authority to certain men in all the divisions of his kingdom, to get together all the fair young virgins and send them to Shushan, the king's town, to the women's house, under the care of Hegai, the king's servant, the keeper of the women: and let the things needed for making them clean be given to them;

bbe@Esther:2:4 @And let the girl who is pleasing to the king be queen in place of Vashti. And the king was pleased with this suggestion; and he did so.

bbe@Esther:2:5 @Now there was a certain Jew in Shushan named Mordecai, the son of Jair, the son of Shimei, the son of Kish, a Benjamite;

bbe@Esther:2:6 @Who had been taken away from Jerusalem among those who had been made prisoner with Jeconiah, king of Judah, when Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon, had taken him away.

bbe@Esther:2:9 @And he was pleased with the girl and was kind to her; and he quickly gave her what was needed for making her clean, and the things which were hers by right, and seven servant-girls who were to be hers from the king's house: and he had her and her servant-girls moved to the best place in the women's part of the house.

bbe@Esther:2:12 @Now every girl, when her turn came, had to go in to King Ahasuerus, after undergoing, for a space of twelve months, what was ordered by the law for the women (for this was the time necessary for making them clean, that is, six months with oil of myrrh and six months with sweet perfumes and such things as are needed for making women clean):

bbe@Esther:2:13 @And in this way the girl went in to the king; whatever she had a desire for was given to her to take with her from the women's house into the house of the king.

bbe@Esther:2:20 @Esther had still said nothing of her family or her people, as Mordecai had given her orders; for Esther did what Mordecai said, as when she was living with him.

bbe@Esther:2:22 @And Mordecai, having knowledge of their purpose, sent word of it to Esther the queen; and Esther gave the news to the king in Mordecai's name.

bbe@Esther:2:23 @And when the thing had been looked into, it was seen to be true, and the two of them were put to death by hanging on a tree: and it was put down in the records before the king.

bbe@Esther:3:1 @After these things, by the order of the king, Haman, the son of Hammedatha the Agagite, was lifted up and given a position of honour and a higher place than all the other captains who were with him.

bbe@Esther:3:4 @Now when they had said this to him day after day and he gave no attention, they let Haman have news of it, to see if Mordecai's behaviour would be overlooked: for he had said to them that he was a Jew.

bbe@Esther:3:6 @But it was not enough for him to make an attack on Mordecai only; for they had made clear to him who Mordecai's people were; so Haman made it his purpose to put an end to all the Jews, even Mordecai's people, through all the kingdom of Ahasuerus.

bbe@Esther:3:8 @And Haman said to King Ahasuerus, There is a certain nation living here and there in small groups among the people in all the divisions of your kingdom; their laws are different from those of any other nation, and they do not keep the king's laws: for this reason it is not right for the king to let them be.

bbe@Esther:3:9 @If it is the king's pleasure, let a statement ordering their destruction be put in writing: and I will give to those responsible for the king's business, ten thousand talents of silver for the king's store-house.

bbe@Esther:3:10 @And the king took his ring from his hand and gave it to Haman, the son of Hammedatha the Agagite, the hater of the Jews

bbe@Esther:3:11 @And the king said to Haman, The money is yours, and the people, to do with them whatever seems right to you.

bbe@Esther:3:12 @Then on the thirteenth day of the first month, the king's scribes were sent for, and they put in writing Haman's orders to all the king's captains and the rulers of every division of his kingdom and the chiefs of every people: for every division of the kingdom in the writing commonly used there, and to every people in the language which was theirs; it was signed in the name of King Ahasuerus and stamped with the king's ring.

bbe@Esther:3:13 @And letters were sent by the runners into every division of the kingdom ordering the death and destruction of all Jews, young and old, little children and women, on the same day, even the thirteenth day of the twelfth month, the month Adar, and the taking of all their goods by force.

bbe@Esther:3:14 @A copy of the writing, to be made public in every part of the kingdom, was sent out to all the peoples, so that they might be ready when that day came.

bbe@Esther:4:1 @Now when Mordecai saw what was done, pulling off his robe, he put on haircloth, with dust on his head, and went out into the middle of the town, crying out with a loud and bitter cry.

bbe@Esther:4:3 @And in every part of the kingdom, wherever the king's word and his order came, there was great sorrow among the Jews, and weeping and crying and going without food; and numbers of them were stretched on the earth covered with dust and haircloth.

bbe@Esther:4:4 @And Esther's women and her servants came and gave her word of it. Then great was the grief of the queen: and she sent robes for Mordecai, so that his clothing of haircloth might be taken off; but he would not have them.

bbe@Esther:4:5 @Then Esther sent for Hathach, one of the king's unsexed servants whom he had given her for waiting on her, and she gave him orders to go to Mordecai and see what this was and why it was.

bbe@Esther:4:8 @And he gave him the copy of the order which had been given out in Shushan for their destruction, ordering him to let Esther see it, and to make it clear to her; and to say to her that she was to go in to the king, requesting his mercy, and making prayer for her people.

bbe@Esther:4:11 @It is common knowledge among all the king's servants and the people of every part of the kingdom, that if anyone, man or woman, comes to the king in his inner room without being sent for, there is only one law for him, that he is to be put to death; only those to whom the king's rod of gold is stretched out may keep their lives: but I have not been sent for to come before the king these thirty days.

bbe@Esther:4:15 @Then Esther sent them back to Mordecai with this answer:

bbe@Esther:4:16 @Go, get together all the Jews who are present in Shushan, and go without food for me, taking no food or drink night or day for three days: and I and my women will do the same; and so I will go in to the king, which is against the law: and if death is to be my fate, then let it come.

bbe@Esther:5:2 @And when the king saw Esther the queen waiting in the inner room, looking kindly on her he put out the rod of gold in his hand to her. So Esther came near and put her fingers on the top of the rod.

bbe@Esther:5:3 @Then the king said, What is your desire, Queen Esther, and what is your request? I will give it to you, even to the half of my kingdom.

bbe@Esther:5:4 @And Esther in answer said, If it seems good to the king, let the king and Haman come today to the feast which I have made ready for him.

bbe@Esther:5:6 @And while they were drinking wine the king said to Esther, What is your prayer? for it will be given to you and what is your request? for it will be done, even to the half of my kingdom.

bbe@Esther:5:8 @If I have the king's approval, and if it is the king's pleasure to give me my prayer and do my request, let the king and Haman come to the feast which I will make ready for them, and tomorrow I will do as the king has said.

bbe@Esther:5:12 @And Haman said further, Truly, Esther the queen let no man but myself come in to the feast which she had made ready for the king; and tomorrow again I am to be her guest with the king

bbe@Esther:5:14 @Then his wife Zeresh and all his friends said to him, Let a pillar, fifty cubits high, be made ready for hanging him, and in the morning get the king to give orders for the hanging of Mordecai: then you will be able to go to the feast with the king with a glad heart. And Haman was pleased with the suggestion, and he had the pillar made.

bbe@Esther:6:2 @It came out that it was recorded in the book how Mordecai had given word of the designs of Bigthana and Teresh, two of the king's servants, keepers of the door, by whom an attack on the king had been designed.

bbe@Esther:6:3 @And the king said, What honour and reward have been given to Mordecai for this? Then the servants who were waiting on the king said, Nothing has been done for him.

bbe@Esther:6:4 @Then the king said, Who is in the outer room? Now Haman had come into the outer room to get the king's authority for the hanging of Mordecai on the pillar which he had made ready for him.

bbe@Esther:6:5 @And the king's servants said to him, See, Haman is waiting in the outer room. And the king said, Let him come in.

bbe@Esther:6:9 @And let the robes and the horse be given to one of the king's most noble captains, so that they may put them on the man whom the king has delight in honouring, and let him go on horseback through the streets of the town, with men crying out before him, So let it be done to the man whom the king has delight in honouring.

bbe@Esther:6:11 @Then Haman took the robes and the horse, and dressing Mordecai in the robes, he made him go on horseback through the streets of the town, crying out before him, So let it be done to the man whom the king has delight in honouring.

bbe@Esther:6:12 @And Mordecai came back to the king's doorway. But Haman went quickly back to his house, sad and with his head covered.

bbe@Esther:7:1 @So the king and Haman came to take wine with Esther the queen.

bbe@Esther:7:2 @And the king said to Esther again on the second day, while they were drinking, What is your prayer, Queen Esther? for it will be given to you; and what is your request? for it will be done, even to the half of my kingdom.

bbe@Esther:7:3 @Then Esther the queen, answering, said, If I have your approval, O king, and if it is the king's pleasure, let my life be given to me in answer to my prayer, and my people at my request:

bbe@Esther:7:4 @For we are given up, I and my people, to destruction and death and to be cut off. If we had been taken as men-servants and women-servants for a price, I would have said nothing, for our trouble is little in comparison with the king's loss.

bbe@Esther:7:9 @Then Harbonah, one of the unsexed servants waiting before the king, said, See, the pillar fifty cubits high, which Haman made for Mordecai, who said a good word for the king, is still in its place in Haman's house. Then the king said, Put him to death by hanging him on it.

bbe@Esther:8:2 @And the king took off his ring, which he had taken from Haman, and gave it to Mordecai. And Esther put Mordecai over the family of Haman.

bbe@Esther:8:3 @Then Esther again came before the king, falling down at his feet, and made request to him with weeping, that he would put a stop to the evil purposes of Haman the Agagite and the designs which he had made against the Jews.

bbe@Esther:8:5 @And she said, If it is the king's pleasure and if I have his approval and this thing seems right to the king and I am pleasing to him, then let letters be sent giving orders against those which Haman, the son of Hammedatha the Agagite, sent out for the destruction of the Jews in all divisions of the kingdom:

bbe@Esther:8:6 @For how is it possible for me to see the evil which is to overtake my nation? how may I see the destruction of my people?

bbe@Esther:8:8 @So now send a letter about the Jews, writing whatever seems good to you, in the king's name, and stamping it with the king's ring: for a writing signed in the king's name and stamped with the king's ring may not be changed.

bbe@Esther:8:9 @Then at that time, on the twenty-third day of the third month, which is the month Sivan, the king's scribes were sent for; and everything ordered by Mordecai was put in writing and sent to the Jews and the captains and the rulers and the chiefs of all the divisions of the kingdom from India to Ethiopia, a hundred and twenty-seven divisions, to every division in the writing commonly used there, and to every people in their language, and to the Jews in their writing and their language.

bbe@Esther:8:10 @The letters were sent in the name of King Ahasuerus and stamped with his ring, and they were taken by men on horseback, going on the quick-running horses used for the king's business, the offspring of his best horses:

bbe@Esther:8:11 @In these letters the king gave authority to the Jews in every town to come together and make a fight for their lives, and to send death and destruction on the power of any people in any part of the kingdom attacking them or their children or their women, and to take their goods from them by force,

bbe@Esther:8:13 @A copy of the writing, to be made public as an order in every division of the kingdom, was given out to all the peoples, so that the Jews might be ready when that day came to give punishment to their haters.

bbe@Esther:8:15 @And Mordecai went out from before the king, dressed in king-like robes of blue and white, and with a great crown of gold and clothing of purple and the best linen: and all the town of Shushan gave loud cries of joy.

bbe@Esther:8:17 @And in every part of the kingdom and in every town, wherever the king's letter and his order came, the Jews were glad with great joy, and had a feast and a good day. And a great number of the people of the land became Jews: for the fear of the Jews had come on them.

bbe@Esther:9:1 @Now on the thirteenth day of the twelfth month, which is the month Adar, when the time came for the king's order to be put into effect, on the very day when the haters of the Jews had been hoping to have rule over them; though the opposite had come about, and the Jews had rule over their haters;

bbe@Esther:9:5 @So the Jews overcame all their attackers with the sword and with death and destruction, and did to their haters whatever they had a desire to do.

bbe@Esther:9:12 @And the king said to Esther the queen, The Jews have put five hundred men to death in Shushan, as well as the ten sons of Haman: what then have they done in the rest of the kingdom! Now what is your prayer? for it will be given to you; what other request have you? and it will be done.

bbe@Esther:9:13 @Then Esther said, If it is the king's pleasure, let authority be given to the Jews in Shushan to do tomorrow as has been done today, and let orders be given for the hanging of Haman's ten sons.

bbe@Esther:9:17 @This they did on the thirteenth day of the month Adar; and on the fourteenth day of the same month they took their rest, and made it a day of feasting and joy.

bbe@Esther:9:18 @But the Jews in Shushan came together on the thirteenth and on the fourteenth day of the month; and on the fifteenth day they took their rest, and made it a day of feasting and joy.

bbe@Esther:9:23 @And the Jews gave their word to go on as they had been doing and as Mordecai had given them orders in writing;

bbe@Esther:9:24 @Because Haman, the son of Hammedatha the Agagite, the hater of all the Jews, had made designs for their destruction, attempting to get a decision by Pur (that is, chance) with a view to putting an end to them and cutting them off;

bbe@Esther:9:26 @So these days were named Purim, after the name of Pur. And so, because of the words of this letter, and of what they had seen in connection with this business, and what had come to them,

bbe@Esther:9:27 @The Jews made a rule and gave an undertaking, causing their seed and all those who were joined to them to do the same, so that it might be in force for ever, that they would keep those two days, as ordered in the letter, at the fixed time every year;

bbe@Esther:9:29 @Then Esther the queen, daughter of Abihail, and Mordecai the Jew, sent a second letter giving the force of their authority to the order about the Purim.

bbe@Esther:9:30 @And he sent letters to all the Jews in the hundred and twenty-seven divisions of the kingdom of Ahasuerus, with true words of peace,

bbe@Esther:9:31 @Giving the force of law to these days of Purim at their fixed times, as they had been ordered by Mordecai the Jew and Esther the queen, and in keeping with the rules they had made for themselves and their seed, in connection with their time of going without food and their cry for help.

bbe@Esther:9:32 @The order given by Esther gave the force of law to the rules about the Purim; and it was recorded in the book.

bbe@Job:1:1 @There was a man in the land of Uz whose name was Job. He was without sin and upright, fearing God and keeping himself far from evil.

bbe@Job:1:4 @His sons regularly went to one another's houses, and every one on his day gave a feast: and at these times they sent for their three sisters to take part in their feasts with them.

bbe@Job:1:5 @And at the end of their days of feasting, Job sent and made them clean, getting up early in the morning and offering burned offerings for them all. For, Job said, It may be that my sons have done wrong and said evil of God in their hearts. And Job did this whenever the feasts came round.

bbe@Job:1:6 @And there was a day when the sons of the gods came together before the Lord, and the Satan came with them.

bbe@Job:1:7 @And the Lord said to the Satan, Where do you come from? And the Satan said in answer, From wandering this way and that on the earth, and walking about on it.

bbe@Job:1:8 @And the Lord said to the Satan, Have you taken note of my servant Job, for there is no one like him on the earth, a man without sin and upright, fearing God and keeping himself far from evil?

bbe@Job:1:9 @And the Satan said in answer to the Lord, Is it for nothing that Job is a god-fearing man?

bbe@Job:1:19 @When a great wind came rushing from the waste land against the four sides of the house, and it came down on the young men, and they are dead; and I was the only one who got away safe to give you the news.

bbe@Job:1:21 @With nothing I came out of my mother's body, and with nothing I will go back there; the Lord gave and the Lord has taken away; let the Lord's name be praised.

bbe@Job:2:1 @And there was a day when the sons of the gods came together before the Lord, and the Satan came with them.

bbe@Job:2:2 @And the Lord said to the Satan, Where do you come from? And the Satan said in answer, From wandering this way and that on the earth, and walking about on it.

bbe@Job:2:3 @And the Lord said to the Satan, Have you taken note of my servant Job, for there is no one like him on the earth, a man without sin and upright, fearing God and keeping himself far from evil? and he still keeps his righteousness, though you have been moving me to send destruction on him without cause.

bbe@Job:2:8 @And he took a broken bit of a pot, and, seated in the dust, was rubbing himself with the sharp edge of it.

bbe@Job:2:10 @And he said to her, You are talking like one of the foolish women. If we take the good God sends us, are we not to take the evil when it comes? In all this Job kept his lips from sin.

bbe@Job:2:11 @And Job's three friends had word of all this evil which had come on him. And they came every one from his place, Eliphaz the Temanite, and Bildad the Shuhite, and Zophar the Naamathite. So they came together to a meeting-place, in order that they might go and make clear to Job their grief for him, and give him comfort.

bbe@Job:2:12 @And lifting up their eyes when they were still far off, it did not seem that the man they saw was Job because of the change in him. And they gave way to bitter weeping, with signs of grief, and put dust on their heads.

bbe@Job:3:3 @Let destruction take the day of my birth, and the night on which it was said, A man child has come into the world.

bbe@Job:3:4 @That day--let it be dark; let not God take note of it from on high, and let not the light be shining on it;

bbe@Job:3:5 @Let the dark and the black night take it for themselves; let it be covered with a cloud; let the dark shades of day send fear on it.

bbe@Job:3:6 @That night--let the thick dark take it; let it not have joy among the days of the year; let it not come into the number of the months.

bbe@Job:3:7 @As for that night, let it have no fruit; let no voice of joy be sounded in it;

bbe@Job:3:8 @Let it be cursed by those who put a curse on the day; who are ready to make Leviathan awake.

bbe@Job:3:9 @Let its morning stars be dark; let it be looking for light, but may it not have any; let it not see the eyes of the dawn.

bbe@Job:3:10 @Because it did not keep the doors of my mother's body shut, so that trouble might be veiled from my eyes

bbe@Job:3:14 @With kings and the wise ones of the earth, who put up great houses for themselves;

bbe@Job:3:15 @Or with rulers who had gold, and whose houses were full of silver;

bbe@Job:3:20 @Why does he give light to him who is in trouble, and life to the bitter in soul;

bbe@Job:3:21 @To those whose desire is for death, but it comes not; who are searching for it more than for secret wealth;

bbe@Job:3:22 @Who are glad with great joy, and full of delight when they come to their last resting-place;

bbe@Job:3:25 @For I have a fear and it comes on me, and my heart is greatly troubled.

bbe@Job:4:1 @And Eliphaz the Temanite made answer and said,

bbe@Job:4:2 @If one says a word, will it be a weariness to you? but who is able to keep from saying what is in his mind?

bbe@Job:4:5 @But now it has come on you and it is a weariness to you; you are touched by it and your mind is troubled.

bbe@Job:4:12 @A word was given to me secretly, and the low sound of it came to my ears.

bbe@Job:4:16 @Something was present before me, but I was not able to see it clearly; there was a form before my eyes: a quiet voice came to my ears, saying:

bbe@Job:4:18 @Truly, he puts no faith in his servants, and he sees error in his angels;

bbe@Job:4:21 @If their tent-cord is pulled up, do they not come to an end, and without wisdom?

bbe@Job:5:5 @Their produce is taken by him who has no food, and their grain goes to the poor, and he who is in need of water gets it from their spring.

bbe@Job:5:9 @Who does great things outside our knowledge, wonders without number:

bbe@Job:5:14 @In the daytime it becomes dark for them, and in the sunlight they go feeling about as if it was night.

bbe@Job:5:21 @He will keep you safe from the evil tongue; and you will have no fear of wasting when it comes.

bbe@Job:5:23 @For you will be in agreement with the stones of the earth, and the beasts of the field will be at peace with you.

bbe@Job:5:26 @You will come to your last resting-place in full strength, as the grain is taken up to the crushing-floor in its time.

bbe@Job:5:27 @See, we have made search with care, and it is so; it has come to our ears; see that you take note of it for yourself.

bbe@Job:6:3 @For then its weight would be more than the sand of the seas: because of this my words have been uncontrolled.

bbe@Job:6:4 @For the arrows of the Ruler of all are present with me, and their poison goes deep into my spirit: his army of fears is put in order against me.

bbe@Job:6:6 @Will a man take food which has no taste without salt? or is there any taste in the soft substance of purslain?

bbe@Job:6:11 @Have I strength to go on waiting, or have I any end to be looking forward to?

bbe@Job:6:19 @The camel-trains of Tema were searching with care, the bands of Sheba were waiting for them:

bbe@Job:6:21 @So have you now become to me; you see my sad condition and are in fear.

bbe@Job:6:27 @Truly, you are such as would give up the child of a dead man to his creditors, and would make a profit out of your friend.

bbe@Job:7:3 @So I have for my heritage months of pain to no purpose, and nights of weariness are given to me.

bbe@Job:7:4 @When I go to my bed, I say, When will it be time to get up? but the night is long, and I am turning from side to side till morning light.

bbe@Job:7:5 @My flesh is covered with worms and dust; my skin gets hard and then is cracked again.

bbe@Job:7:6 @My days go quicker than the cloth-worker's thread, and come to an end without hope.

bbe@Job:7:11 @So I will not keep my mouth shut; I will let the words come from it in the pain of my spirit, my soul will make a bitter outcry.

bbe@Job:7:19 @How long will it be before your eyes are turned away from me, so that I may have a minute's breathing-space?

bbe@Job:7:21 @And why do you not take away my sin, and let my wrongdoing be ended? for now I go down to the dust, and you will be searching for me with care, but I will be gone.

bbe@Job:8:1 @Then Bildad the Shuhite made answer and said,

bbe@Job:8:5 @If you will make search for God with care, and put your request before the Ruler of all;

bbe@Job:8:11 @Will the river-plant come up in its pride without wet earth? will the grass get tall without water?

bbe@Job:8:12 @When it is still green, without being cut down, it becomes dry and dead before any other plant.

bbe@Job:8:15 @He is looking to his family for support, but it is not there; he puts his hope in it, but it comes to nothing.

bbe@Job:8:18 @If he is taken away from his place, then it will say, I have not seen you

bbe@Job:8:20 @Truly, God will not give up him who is without sin, and will not take evil-doers by the hand.

bbe@Job:8:22 @Your haters will be clothed with shame, and the tent of the sinner will not be seen again.

bbe@Job:9:2 @Truly, I see that it is so: and how is it possible for a man to get his right before God?

bbe@Job:9:3 @If a man was desiring to go to law with him, he would not be able to give him an answer to one out of a thousand questions.

bbe@Job:9:4 @He is wise in heart and great in strength: who ever made his face hard against him, and any good came of it?

bbe@Job:9:5 @It is he who takes away the mountains without their knowledge, overturning them in his wrath:

bbe@Job:9:6 @Who is moving the earth out of its place, so that its pillars are shaking:

bbe@Job:9:7 @Who gives orders to the sun, and it does not give its light; and who keeps the stars from shining.

bbe@Job:9:10 @Who does great things not to be searched out; yes, wonders without number.

bbe@Job:9:12 @If he puts out his hand to take, by whom may it be turned back? who may say to him, What are you doing?

bbe@Job:9:14 @How much less may I give an answer to him, using the right words in argument with him?

bbe@Job:9:16 @If I had sent for him to be present, and he had come, I would have no faith that he would give ear to my voice.

bbe@Job:9:17 @For I would be crushed by his storm, my wounds would be increased without cause.

bbe@Job:9:18 @He would not let me take my breath, but I would be full of bitter grief.

bbe@Job:9:19 @If it is a question of strength, he says, Here I am! and if it is a question of a cause at law, he says, Who will give me a fixed day?

bbe@Job:9:22 @It is all the same to me; so I say, He puts an end to the sinner and to him who has done no wrong together.

bbe@Job:9:24 @The land is given into the power of the evil-doer; the faces of its judges are covered; if not by him, then who has done it?

bbe@Job:9:26 @They go rushing on like reed-boats, like an eagle dropping suddenly on its food.

bbe@Job:9:30 @If I am washed with snow water, and make my hands clean with soap;

bbe@Job:9:35 @Then I would say what is in my mind without fear of him; for there is no cause of fear in myself.

bbe@Job:10:1 @My soul is tired of life; I will let my sad thoughts go free in words; my soul will make a bitter outcry.

bbe@Job:10:3 @What profit is it to you to be cruel, to give up the work of your hands, looking kindly on the design of evil-doers?

bbe@Job:10:11 @By you I was clothed with skin and flesh, and joined together with bones and muscles.

bbe@Job:10:12 @You have been kind to me, and your grace has been with me, and your care has kept my spirit safe.

bbe@Job:10:14 @That, if I did wrong, you would take note of it, and would not make me clear from sin:

bbe@Job:10:15 @That, if I was an evil-doer, the curse would come on me; and if I was upright, my head would not be lifted up, being full of shame and overcome with trouble.

bbe@Job:10:17 @That you would send new witnesses against me, increasing your wrath against me, and letting loose new armies on me.

bbe@Job:10:18 @Why then did you make me come out of my mother's body? It would have been better for me to have taken my last breath, and for no eye to have seen me,

bbe@Job:10:20 @Are not the days of my life small in number? Let your eyes be turned away from me, so that I may have a little pleasure,

bbe@Job:10:22 @A land of thick dark, without order, where the very light is dark.

bbe@Job:11:1 @Then Zophar the Naamathite made answer and said,

bbe@Job:11:3 @Are your words of pride to make men keep quiet? and are you to make sport, with no one to put you to shame?

bbe@Job:11:5 @But if only God would take up the word, opening his lips in argument with you;

bbe@Job:11:7 @Are you able to take God's measure, to make discovery of the limits of the Ruler of all?

bbe@Job:11:11 @For in his eyes men are as nothing; he sees evil and takes note of it

bbe@Job:11:15 @Then truly your face will be lifted up, with no mark of sin, and you will be fixed in your place without fear:

bbe@Job:11:17 @And your life will be brighter than day; though it is dark, it will become like the morning.

bbe@Job:11:19 @Sleeping with no fear of danger; and men will be desiring to have grace in your eyes;

bbe@Job:12:2 @No doubt you have knowledge, and wisdom will come to an end with you.

bbe@Job:12:4 @It seems that I am to be as one who is a cause of laughing to his neighbour, one who makes his prayer to God and is answered! the upright man who has done no wrong is to be made sport of!

bbe@Job:12:7 @But put now a question to the beasts, and get teaching from them; or to the birds of the heaven, and they will make it clear to you;

bbe@Job:12:8 @Or to the things which go flat on the earth, and they will give you wisdom; and the fishes of the sea will give you news of it.

bbe@Job:12:13 @With him there is wisdom and strength; power and knowledge are his

bbe@Job:12:16 @With him are strength and wise designs; he who is guided into error, together with his guide, are in his hands;

bbe@Job:12:19 @He makes priests prisoners, overturning those in safe positions;

bbe@Job:12:20 @He makes the words of responsible persons without effect, and takes away the good sense of the old;

bbe@Job:12:25 @They go feeling about in the dark without light, wandering without help like those overcome with wine.

bbe@Job:13:1 @Truly, my eye has seen all this, word of it has come to my ear, and I have knowledge of it.

bbe@Job:13:3 @But I would have talk with the Ruler of all, and my desire is to have an argument with God.

bbe@Job:13:5 @If only you would keep quiet, it would be a sign of wisdom!

bbe@Job:13:9 @Will it be good for you to be searched out by him, or have you the thought that he may be guided into error like a man?

bbe@Job:13:17 @Give ear with care to my words, and keep what I say in your minds.

bbe@Job:13:25 @Will you be hard on a leaf in flight before the wind? will you make a dry stem go more quickly on its way?

bbe@Job:13:26 @For you put bitter things on record against me, and send punishment on me for the sins of my early years;

bbe@Job:13:27 @And you put chains on my feet, watching all my ways, and making a limit for my steps;

bbe@Job:13:28 @Though a man comes to nothing like a bit of dead wood, or like a robe which has become food for the worm.

bbe@Job:14:3 @Is it on such a one as this that your eyes are fixed, with the purpose of judging him?

bbe@Job:14:4 @If only a clean thing might come out of an unclean! But it is not possible.

bbe@Job:14:5 @If his days are ordered, and you have knowledge of the number of his months, having given him a fixed limit past which he may not go;

bbe@Job:14:7 @For there is hope of a tree; if it is cut down, it will come to life again, and its branches will not come to an end.

bbe@Job:14:8 @Though its root may be old in the earth, and its cut-off end may be dead in the dust;

bbe@Job:14:9 @Still, at the smell of water, it will make buds, and put out branches like a young plant.

bbe@Job:14:10 @But man comes to his death and is gone: he gives up his spirit, and where is he?

bbe@Job:14:14 @If death takes a man, will he come to life again? All the days of my trouble I would be waiting, till the time came for me to be free.

bbe@Job:14:18 @But truly a mountain falling comes to dust, and a rock is moved from its place;

bbe@Job:14:21 @His sons come to honour, and he has no knowledge of it; they are made low, but he is not conscious of it.

bbe@Job:15:1 @And Eliphaz the Temanite made answer and said,

bbe@Job:15:2 @Will a wise man make answer with knowledge of no value, or will he give birth to the east wind?

bbe@Job:15:3 @Will he make arguments with words in which is no profit, and with sayings which have no value?

bbe@Job:15:4 @Truly, you make the fear of God without effect, so that the time of quiet worship before God is made less by your outcry.

bbe@Job:15:6 @It is by your mouth, even yours, that you are judged to be in the wrong, and not by me; and your lips give witness against you.

bbe@Job:15:10 @With us are men who are grey-haired and full of years, much older than your father.

bbe@Job:15:13 @So that you are turning your spirit against God, and letting such words go out of your mouth?

bbe@Job:15:15 @Truly, he puts no faith in his holy ones, and the heavens are not clean in his eyes;

bbe@Job:15:23 @He is wandering about in search of bread, saying, Where is it? and he is certain that the day of trouble is ready for him:

bbe@Job:15:27 @Because his face is covered with fat, and his body has become thick;

bbe@Job:15:31 @Let him not put his hope in what is false, falling into error: for he will get deceit as his reward.

bbe@Job:15:32 @His branch is cut off before its time, and his leaf is no longer green.

bbe@Job:15:33 @He is like a vine whose grapes do not come to full growth, or an olive-tree dropping its flowers.

bbe@Job:15:34 @For the band of the evil-doers gives no fruit, and the tents of those who give wrong decisions for reward are burned with fire.

bbe@Job:15:35 @Evil has made them with child, and they give birth to trouble; and the fruit of their body is shame for themselves.

bbe@Job:16:4 @It would not be hard for me to say such things if your souls were in my soul's place; joining words together against you, and shaking my head at you:

bbe@Job:16:5 @I might give you strength with my mouth, and not keep back the comfort of my lips.

bbe@Job:16:6 @If I say what is in my mind, my pain becomes no less: and if I keep quiet, how much of it goes from me?

bbe@Job:16:7 @But now he has overcome me with weariness and fear, and I am in the grip of all my trouble.

bbe@Job:16:8 @It has come up as a witness against me, and the wasting of my flesh makes answer to my face.

bbe@Job:16:9 @I am broken by his wrath, and his hate has gone after me; he has made his teeth sharp against me: my haters are looking on me with cruel eyes;

bbe@Job:16:10 @Their mouths are open wide against me; the blows of his bitter words are falling on my face; all of them come together in a mass against me.

bbe@Job:16:12 @I was in comfort, but I have been broken up by his hands; he has taken me by the neck, shaking me to bits; he has put me up as a mark for his arrows.

bbe@Job:16:13 @His bowmen come round about me; their arrows go through my body without mercy; my life is drained out on the earth.

bbe@Job:16:14 @I am broken with wound after wound; he comes rushing on me like a man of war.

bbe@Job:16:16 @My face is red with weeping, and my eyes are becoming dark;

bbe@Job:16:19 @Even now my witness is in heaven, and the supporter of my cause is on high.

bbe@Job:16:21 @So that he may give decision for a man in his cause with God, and between a son of man and his neighbour

bbe@Job:17:1 @My spirit is broken, my days are ended, the last resting-place is ready for me.

bbe@Job:17:2 @Truly, those who make sport of me are round about me, and my eyes become dark because of their bitter laughing.

bbe@Job:17:13 @If I am waiting for the underworld as my house, if I have made my bed in the dark;

bbe@Job:17:16 @Will they go down with me into the underworld? Will we go down together into the dust?

bbe@Job:18:1 @Then Bildad the Shuhite made answer and said,

bbe@Job:18:2 @How long will it be before you have done talking? Get wisdom, and then we will say what is in our minds.

bbe@Job:18:3 @Why do we seem as beasts in your eyes, and as completely without knowledge?

bbe@Job:18:4 @But come back, now, come: you who are wounding yourself in your passion, will the earth be given up because of you, or a rock be moved out of its place?

bbe@Job:18:9 @His foot is taken in the net; he comes into its grip.

bbe@Job:18:12 @His strength is made feeble for need of food, and destruction is waiting for his falling footstep.

bbe@Job:18:16 @Under the earth his roots are dry, and over it his branch is cut off.

bbe@Job:18:20 @At his fate those of the west are shocked, and those of the east are overcome with fear.

bbe@Job:19:2 @How long will you make my life bitter, crushing me with words?

bbe@Job:19:3 @Ten times now you have made sport of me; it gives you no sense of shame to do me wrong.

bbe@Job:19:6 @Be certain that it is God who has done me wrong, and has taken me in his net.

bbe@Job:19:20 @My bones are joined to my skin, and I have got away with my flesh in my teeth.

bbe@Job:19:21 @Have pity on me, have pity on me, O my friends! for the hand of God is on me.

bbe@Job:19:23 @If only my words might be recorded! if they might be put in writing in a book!

bbe@Job:19:24 @And with an iron pen and lead be cut into the rock for ever!

bbe@Job:19:26 @And... without my flesh I will see God;

bbe@Job:19:27 @Whom I will see on my side, and not as one strange to me. My heart is broken with desire.

bbe@Job:20:1 @Then Zophar the Naamathite made answer and said,

bbe@Job:20:3 @I have to give ear to arguments which put me to shame, and your answers to me are wind without wisdom.

bbe@Job:20:11 @His bones are full of young strength, but it will go down with him into the dust.

bbe@Job:20:12 @Though evil-doing is sweet in his mouth, and he keeps it secretly under his tongue;

bbe@Job:20:13 @Though he takes care of it, and does not let it go, but keeps it still in his mouth;

bbe@Job:20:14 @His food becomes bitter in his stomach; the poison of snakes is inside him.

bbe@Job:20:15 @He takes down wealth as food, and sends it up again; it is forced out of his stomach by God.

bbe@Job:20:18 @He is forced to give back the fruit of his work, and may not take it for food; he has no joy in the profit of his trading.

bbe@Job:20:23 @God gives him his desire, and sends the heat of his wrath on him, making it come down on him like rain.

bbe@Job:20:25 @He is pulling it out, and it comes out of his back; and its shining point comes out of his side; he is overcome by fears.

bbe@Job:20:27 @The heavens make clear his sin, and the earth gives witness against him.

bbe@Job:20:29 @This is the reward of the evil man, and the heritage given to him by God.

bbe@Job:21:2 @Give attention with care to my words; and let this be your comfort.

bbe@Job:21:4 @As for me, is my outcry against man? is it then to be wondered at if my spirit is troubled?

bbe@Job:21:6 @At the very thought of it my flesh is shaking with fear.

bbe@Job:21:8 @Their children are ever with them, and their offspring before their eyes.

bbe@Job:21:10 @Their ox is ready at all times to give seed; their cow gives birth, without dropping her young.

bbe@Job:21:13 @Their days come to an end without trouble, and suddenly they go down to the underworld.

bbe@Job:21:15 @What is the Ruler of all, that we may give him worship? and what profit is it to us to make prayer to him?

bbe@Job:21:17 @How frequently is the light of the evil-doers put out, or does trouble come on them? how frequently does his wrath take them with cords?

bbe@Job:21:19 @You say, God keeps punishment stored up for his children. Let him send it on the man himself, so that he may have the punishment of it!

bbe@Job:21:25 @And another comes to his end with a bitter soul, without ever tasting good.

bbe@Job:21:31 @Who will make his way clear to his face? and if he has done a thing, who gives him punishment for it?

bbe@Job:21:32 @He is taken to his last resting-place, and keeps watch over it.

bbe@Job:21:34 @Why then do you give me comfort with words in which there is no profit, when you see that there is nothing in your answers but deceit?

bbe@Job:22:1 @Then Eliphaz the Temanite made answer and said,

bbe@Job:22:2 @Is it possible for a man to be of profit to God? No, for a man's wisdom is only of profit to himself.

bbe@Job:22:3 @Is it of any interest to the Ruler of all that you are upright? or is it of use to him that your ways are without sin?

bbe@Job:22:4 @Is it because you give him honour that he is sending punishment on you and is judging you?

bbe@Job:22:6 @For you have taken your brother's goods when he was not in your debt, and have taken away the clothing of those who have need of it.

bbe@Job:22:8 @For it was the man with power who had the land, and the man with an honoured name who was living in it.

bbe@Job:22:9 @You have sent widows away without hearing their cause, and you have taken away the support of the child who has no father.

bbe@Job:22:10 @For this cause nets are round your feet, and you are overcome with sudden fear.

bbe@Job:22:19 @The upright saw it and were glad: and those who had done no wrong made sport of them,

bbe@Job:22:21 @Put yourself now in a right relation with him and be at peace: so will you do well in your undertakings.

bbe@Job:22:29 @For God makes low those whose hearts are lifted up, but he is a saviour to the poor in spirit.

bbe@Job:23:2 @Even today my outcry is bitter; his hand is hard on my sorrow.

bbe@Job:23:11 @My feet have gone in his steps; I have kept in his way, without turning to one side or to the other.

bbe@Job:23:13 @But his purpose is fixed and there is no changing it; and he gives effect to the desire of his soul.

bbe@Job:24:2 @The landmarks are changed by evil men, they violently take away flocks, together with their keepers.

bbe@Job:24:5 @Like asses in the waste land they go out to their work, looking for food with care; from the waste land they get bread for their children.

bbe@Job:24:6 @They get mixed grain from the field, and they take away the late fruit from the vines of those who have wealth.

bbe@Job:24:7 @They take their rest at night without clothing, and have no cover in the cold.

bbe@Job:24:8 @They are wet with the rain of the mountains, and get into the cracks of the rock for cover.

bbe@Job:24:9 @The child without a father is forced from its mother's breast, and they take the young children of the poor for debt.

bbe@Job:24:10 @Others go about without clothing, and though they have no food, they get in the grain from the fields.

bbe@Job:24:13 @Then there are those who are haters of the light, who have no knowledge of its ways, and do not go in them.

bbe@Job:24:15 @And the man whose desire is for the wife of another is waiting for the evening, saying, No eye will see me; and he puts a cover on his face. And in the night the thief goes about;

bbe@Job:24:18 @They go quickly on the face of the waters; their heritage is cursed in the earth; the steps of the crusher of grapes are not turned to their vine-garden.

bbe@Job:24:19 @Snow waters become dry with the heat: so do sinners go down into the underworld.

bbe@Job:24:21 @He is not kind to the widow, and he has no pity for her child.

bbe@Job:24:24 @For a short time they are lifted up; then they are gone; they are made low, they are pulled off like fruit, and like the heads of grain they are cut off.

bbe@Job:24:25 @And if it is not so, now, who will make it clear that my words are false, and that what I say is of no value?

bbe@Job:25:1 @Then Bildad the Shuhite made answer and said,

bbe@Job:25:3 @Is it possible for his armies to be numbered? and on whom is not his light shining?

bbe@Job:25:4 @How then is it possible for man to be upright before God? or how may he be clean who is a son of woman?

bbe@Job:26:4 @To whom have your words been said? and whose spirit came out from you?

bbe@Job:26:9 @By him the face of his high seat is veiled, and his cloud stretched out over it.

bbe@Job:26:10 @By him a circle is marked out on the face of the waters, to the limits of the light and the dark.

bbe@Job:27:2 @By the life of God, who has taken away my right; and of the Ruler of all, who has made my soul bitter;

bbe@Job:27:3 @(For all my breath is still in me, and the spirit of God is my life;)

bbe@Job:27:4 @Truly, there is no deceit in my lips, and my tongue does not say what is false.

bbe@Job:27:5 @Let it be far from me! I will certainly not say that you are right! I will come to death before I give up my righteousness.

bbe@Job:27:6 @I will keep it safe, and will not let it go: my heart has nothing to say against any part of my life.

bbe@Job:27:12 @Truly, you have all seen it yourselves; why then have you become completely foolish?

bbe@Job:27:13 @This is the punishment of the evil-doer from God, and the heritage given to the cruel by the Ruler of all

bbe@Job:27:14 @If his children are increased, it is for the sword; and his offspring have not enough bread.

bbe@Job:27:17 @He may get them ready, but the upright will put them on, and he who is free from sin will take the silver for a heritage.

bbe@Job:27:19 @He goes to rest full of wealth, but does so for the last time: on opening his eyes, he sees it there no longer.

bbe@Job:27:22 @God sends his arrows against him without mercy; he goes in flight before his hand.

bbe@Job:27:23 @Men make signs of joy because of him, driving him from his place with sounds of hissing.

bbe@Job:28:3 @Man puts an end to the dark, searching out to the farthest limit the stones of the deep places of the dark.

bbe@Job:28:5 @As for the earth, bread comes out of it; but under its face it is turned up as if by fire.

bbe@Job:28:6 @Its stones are the place of sapphires, and it has dust of gold.

bbe@Job:28:7 @No bird has knowledge of it, and the hawk's eye has never seen it.

bbe@Job:28:8 @The great beasts have not gone over it, and the cruel lion has not taken that way.

bbe@Job:28:13 @Man has not seen the way to it, and it is not in the land of the living.

bbe@Job:28:14 @The deep waters say, It is not in me: and the sea says, It is not with me.

bbe@Job:28:15 @Gold may not be given for it, or a weight of silver in payment for it

bbe@Job:28:16 @It may not be valued with the gold of Ophir, with the onyx of great price, or the sapphire.

bbe@Job:28:17 @Gold and glass are not equal to it in price, and it may not be exchanged for jewels of the best gold.

bbe@Job:28:19 @The topaz of Ethiopia is not equal to it, and it may not be valued with the best gold.

bbe@Job:28:21 @For it is kept secret from the eyes of all living, unseen by the birds of the air.

bbe@Job:28:22 @Destruction and Death say, We have only had word of it with our ears.

bbe@Job:28:23 @God has knowledge of the way to it, and of its resting-place;

bbe@Job:28:27 @Then he saw it, and put it on record; he gave it its fixed form, searching it out completely.

bbe@Job:29:5 @While the Ruler of all was still with me, and my children were round me;

bbe@Job:29:6 @When my steps were washed with milk, and rivers of oil were flowing out of the rock for me.

bbe@Job:29:11 @For when it came to their ears, men said that I was truly happy; and when their eyes saw, they gave witness to me;

bbe@Job:29:12 @For I was a saviour to the poor when he was crying for help, to the child with no father, and to him who had no supporter.

bbe@Job:29:14 @I put on righteousness as my clothing, and was full of it; right decisions were to me a robe and a head-dress.

bbe@Job:29:18 @Then I said, I will come to my end with my children round me, my days will be as the sand in number;

bbe@Job:29:21 @Men gave ear to me, waiting and keeping quiet for my suggestions.

bbe@Job:29:23 @They were waiting for me as for the rain, opening their mouths wide as for the spring rains.

bbe@Job:30:1 @But now those who are younger than I make sport of me; those whose fathers I would not have put with the dogs of my flocks.

bbe@Job:30:3 @They are wasted for need of food, biting the dry earth; their only hope of life is in the waste land.

bbe@Job:30:8 @They are sons of shame, and of men without a name, who have been forced out of the land.

bbe@Job:30:13 @They have made waste my roads, with a view to my destruction; his bowmen come round about me;

bbe@Job:30:18 @With great force he takes a grip of my clothing, pulling me by the neck of my coat.

bbe@Job:30:26 @For I was looking for good, and evil came; I was waiting for light, and it became dark.

bbe@Job:30:30 @My skin is black and dropping off me; and my bones are burning with the heat of my disease.

bbe@Job:31:1 @I made an agreement with my eyes; how then might my eyes be looking on a virgin?

bbe@Job:31:2 @For what is God's reward from on high, or the heritage given by the Ruler of all from heaven?

bbe@Job:31:3 @Is it not trouble for the sinner, and destruction for the evil-doers?

bbe@Job:31:5 @If I have gone in false ways, or my foot has been quick in working deceit;

bbe@Job:31:8 @Let me put seed in the earth for another to have the fruit of it, and let my produce be uprooted.

bbe@Job:31:9 @If my heart went after another man's wife, or if I was waiting secretly at my neighbour's door;

bbe@Job:31:11 @For that would be a crime; it would be an act for which punishment would be measured out by the judges:

bbe@Job:31:12 @It would be a fire burning even to destruction, and taking away all my produce.

bbe@Job:31:13 @If I did wrong in the cause of my man-servant, or my woman-servant, when they went to law with me;

bbe@Job:31:17 @If I kept my food for myself, and did not give some of it to the child with no father;

bbe@Job:31:22 @May my arm be pulled from my body, and be broken from its base.

bbe@Job:31:24 @If I made gold my hope, or if I ever said to the best gold, I have put my faith in you;

bbe@Job:31:26 @If, when I saw the sun shining, and the moon moving on its bright way,

bbe@Job:31:28 @That would have been another sin to be rewarded with punishment by the judges; for I would have been false to God on high.

bbe@Job:31:35 @If only God would give ear to me, and the Ruler of all would give me an answer! or if what he has against me had been put in writing!

bbe@Job:31:36 @Truly I would take up the book in my hands; it would be to me as a crown;

bbe@Job:31:37 @I would make clear the number of my steps, I would put it before him like a prince! The words of Job are ended.

bbe@Job:31:39 @If I have taken its produce without payment, causing the death of its owners;

bbe@Job:32:2 @And Elihu, the son of Barachel the Buzite, of the family of Ram, was angry, burning with wrath against Job, because he seemed to himself more right than God;

bbe@Job:32:3 @And he was angry with his three friends, because they had been unable to give him an answer, and had not made Job's sin clear.

bbe@Job:32:6 @And Elihu, the son of Barachel the Buzite, made answer and said, I am young, and you are very old, so I was in fear, and kept myself from putting my knowledge before you.

bbe@Job:32:7 @I said to myself, It is right for the old to say what is in their minds, and for those who are far on in years to give out wisdom.

bbe@Job:32:8 @But truly it is the spirit in man, even the breath of the Ruler of all, which gives them knowledge.

bbe@Job:32:9 @It is not the old who are wise, and those who are full of years have not the knowledge of what is right.

bbe@Job:32:11 @I was waiting for your words, I was giving ear to your wise sayings; while you were searching out what to say,

bbe@Job:32:16 @And am I to go on waiting while they have nothing to say? while they keep quiet and give no more answers?

bbe@Job:32:19 @My stomach is like wine which is unable to get out; like skins full of new wine, it is almost burst.

bbe@Job:32:20 @Let me say what is in my mind, so that I may get comfort; let me give answer with open mouth.

bbe@Job:33:3 @My heart is overflowing with knowledge, my lips say what is true.

bbe@Job:33:4 @The spirit of God has made me, and the breath of the Ruler of all gives me life.

bbe@Job:33:6 @See, I am the same as you are in the eyes of God; I was cut off from the same bit of wet earth.

bbe@Job:33:9 @I am clean, without sin; I am washed, and there is no evil in me:

bbe@Job:33:14 @For God gives his word in one way, even in two, and man is not conscious of it:

bbe@Job:33:21 @His flesh is so wasted away, that it may not be seen, and his bones....

bbe@Job:33:26 @He makes his prayer to God, and he has mercy on him; he sees God's face with cries of joy; he gives news of his righteousness to men;

bbe@Job:33:32 @If you have anything to say, give me an answer; for it is my desire that you may be judged free from sin.

bbe@Job:34:5 @For Job has said, I am upright, and it is God who has taken away my right;

bbe@Job:34:9 @For he has said, It is no profit to a man to take delight in God.

bbe@Job:34:10 @Now then, you wise, take note; you men of knowledge, give ear to me. Let it be far from God to do evil, and from the Ruler of all to do wrong.

bbe@Job:34:11 @For he gives to every man the reward of his work, and sees that he gets the fruit of his ways.

bbe@Job:34:14 @If he made his spirit come back to him, taking his breath into himself again,

bbe@Job:34:20 @Suddenly they come to an end, even in the middle of the night: the blow comes on the men of wealth, and they are gone, and the strong are taken away without the hand of man.

bbe@Job:34:24 @He sends the strong to destruction without searching out their cause, and puts others in their place.

bbe@Job:34:26 @The evil-doers are broken by his wrath, he puts his hand on them with force before the eyes of all onlookers.

bbe@Job:34:35 @Job's words do not come from knowledge; they are not the fruit of wisdom.

bbe@Job:34:37 @For in addition to his sin, he is uncontrolled in heart; before our eyes he makes sport of God, increasing his words against him.

bbe@Job:35:2 @Does it seem to you to be right, and righteousness before God, to say,

bbe@Job:35:3 @What profit is it to me, and how am I better off than if I had done wrong?

bbe@Job:35:6 @If you have done wrong, is he any the worse for it? and if your sins are great in number, what is it to him?

bbe@Job:35:13 @But God will not give ear to what is false, or the Ruler of all take note of it;

bbe@Job:35:14 @How much less when you say that you do not see him; that the cause is before him, and you are waiting for him.

bbe@Job:35:16 @And Job's mouth is open wide to give out what is of no profit, increasing words without knowledge.

bbe@Job:36:2 @Give me a little more time, and I will make it clear to you; for I have still something to say for God.

bbe@Job:36:4 @For truly my words are not false; one who has all knowledge is talking with you.

bbe@Job:36:12 @But if not, they come to their end, and give up their breath without knowledge.

bbe@Job:36:25 @All people are looking on it; man sees it from far.

bbe@Job:36:30 @See, he is stretching out his mist, covering the tops of the mountains with it.

bbe@Job:36:32 @He takes the light in his hands, sending it against the mark.

bbe@Job:37:1 @At this my heart is shaking; it is moved out of its place.

bbe@Job:37:3 @He sends it out through all the heaven, and his thunder-flame to the ends of the earth.

bbe@Job:37:4 @After it a voice is sounding, thundering out the word of his power; he does not keep back his thunder-flames; from his mouth his voice is sounding.

bbe@Job:37:9 @Out of its place comes the storm-wind, and the cold out of its store-houses.

bbe@Job:37:11 @The thick cloud is weighted with thunder-flame, and the cloud sends out its light;

bbe@Job:37:12 @And it goes this way and that, round about, turning itself by his guiding, to do whatever he gives orders to be done, on the face of his world of men,

bbe@Job:37:13 @For a rod, or for a curse, or for mercy, causing it to come on the mark.

bbe@Job:37:18 @Will you, with him, make the skies smooth, and strong as a polished looking-glass?

bbe@Job:37:20 @How may he have knowledge of my desire for talk with him? or did any man ever say, May destruction come on me?

bbe@Job:37:21 @And now the light is not seen, for it is dark because of the clouds; but a wind comes, clearing them away.

bbe@Job:38:2 @Who is this who makes the purpose of God dark by words without knowledge?

bbe@Job:38:4 @Where were you when I put the earth on its base? Say, if you have knowledge.

bbe@Job:38:5 @By whom were its measures fixed? Say, if you have wisdom; or by whom was the line stretched out over it?

bbe@Job:38:6 @On what were its pillars based, or who put down its angle-stone,

bbe@Job:38:8 @Or where were you when the sea came to birth, pushing out from its secret place;

bbe@Job:38:9 @When I made the cloud its robe, and put thick clouds as bands round it,

bbe@Job:38:10 @Ordering a fixed limit for it, with locks and doors;

bbe@Job:38:12 @Have you, from your earliest days, given orders to the morning, or made the dawn conscious of its place;

bbe@Job:38:13 @So that it might take a grip of the skirts of the earth, shaking all the evil-doers out of it?

bbe@Job:38:14 @It is changed like wet earth under a stamp, and is coloured like a robe;

bbe@Job:38:18 @Have you taken note of the wide limits of the earth? Say, if you have knowledge of it all.

bbe@Job:38:20 @So that you might take it to its limit, guiding it to its house?

bbe@Job:38:21 @No doubt you have knowledge of it, for then you had come to birth, and the number of your days is great.

bbe@Job:38:27 @To give water to the land where there is waste and destruction, and to make the dry land green with young grass?

bbe@Job:38:32 @Do you make Mazzaroth come out in its right time, or are the Bear and its children guided by you?

bbe@Job:38:40 @When they are stretched out in their holes, and are waiting in the brushwood?

bbe@Job:38:41 @Who gives in the evening the meat he is searching for, when his young ones are crying to God; when the young lions with loud noise go wandering after their food?

bbe@Job:39:3 @They are bent down, they give birth to their young, they let loose the fruit of their body.

bbe@Job:39:6 @To whom I have given the waste land for a heritage, and the salt land as a living-place.

bbe@Job:39:10 @Will he be pulling your plough with cords, turning up the valleys after you?

bbe@Job:39:11 @Will you put your faith in him, because his strength is great? will you give the fruit of your work into his care?

bbe@Job:39:13 @Is the wing of the ostrich feeble, or is it because she has no feathers,

bbe@Job:39:15 @Without a thought that they may be crushed by the foot, and broken by the beasts of the field?

bbe@Job:39:19 @Do you give strength to the horse? is it by your hand that his neck is clothed with power?

bbe@Job:39:20 @Is it through you that he is shaking like a locust, in the pride of his loud-sounding breath?

bbe@Job:39:21 @He is stamping with joy in the valley; he makes sport of fear.

bbe@Job:39:24 @Shaking with passion, he is biting the earth; he is not able to keep quiet at the sound of the horn;

bbe@Job:39:25 @When it comes to his ears he says, Aha! He is smelling the fight from far off, and hearing the thunder of the captains, and the war-cries.

bbe@Job:39:26 @Is it through your knowledge that the hawk takes his flight, stretching out his wings to the south?

bbe@Job:39:27 @Or is it by your orders that the eagle goes up, and makes his resting-place on high?

bbe@Job:39:29 @From there he is watching for food; his eye sees it far off.

bbe@Job:40:9 @Put on the ornaments of your pride; be clothed with glory and power:

bbe@Job:40:22 @Truly, if the river is overflowing, it gives him no cause for fear; he has no sense of danger, even if Jordan is rushing against his mouth.

bbe@Job:41:1 @Is it possible for Leviathan to be pulled out with a fish-hook, or for a hook to be put through the bone of his mouth?

bbe@Job:41:2 @Will you put a cord into his nose, or take him away with a cord round his tongue?

bbe@Job:41:4 @Will he make an agreement with you, so that you may take him as a servant for ever?

bbe@Job:41:5 @Will you make sport with him, as with a bird? or put him in chains for your young women?

bbe@Job:41:6 @Will the fishermen make profit out of him? will they have him cut up for the traders?

bbe@Job:41:8 @Only put your hand on him, and see what a fight you will have; you will not do it again!

bbe@Job:41:25 @When he gets ready for the fight, the strong are overcome with fear.

bbe@Job:41:32 @After him his way is shining, so that the deep seems white.

bbe@Job:41:33 @On earth there is not another like him, who is made without fear.

bbe@Job:42:3 @Who is this who makes dark the purpose of God by words without knowledge? For I have been talking without knowledge about wonders not to be searched out.

bbe@Job:42:6 @For this cause I give witness that what I said is false, and in sorrow I take my seat in the dust.

bbe@Job:42:7 @And it came about, after he had said these words to Job, that the Lord said to Eliphaz the Temanite, I am very angry with you and your two friends, because you have not said what is right about me, as my servant Job has.

bbe@Job:42:9 @And Eliphaz the Temanite, and Bildad the Shuhite, and Zophar the Naamathite, went and did as the Lord had said. And the Lord gave ear to Job.

bbe@Job:42:11 @And all his brothers and sisters, and his friends of earlier days, came and took food with him in his house; and made clear their grief for him, and gave him comfort for all the evil which the Lord had sent on him; and they all gave him a bit of money and a gold ring.

bbe@Job:42:12 @And the Lord's blessing was greater on the end of Job's life than on its start: and so he came to have fourteen thousand sheep and goats, and six thousand camels, and two thousand oxen, and a thousand she-asses.

bbe@Job:42:15 @And there were no women so beautiful as the daughters of Job in all the earth: and their father gave them a heritage among their brothers.

bbe@Psalms:2:11 @Give worship to the Lord with fear, kissing his feet and giving him honour,

bbe@Psalms:4:4 @Let there be fear in your hearts, and do no sin; have bitter feelings on your bed, but make no sound. (Selah.)

bbe@Psalms:4:5 @Give the offerings of righteousness, and put your faith in the Lord.

bbe@Psalms:5:4 @For you are not a God who takes pleasure in wrongdoing; there is no evil with you.

bbe@Psalms:5:6 @You will send destruction on those whose words are false; the cruel man and the man of deceit are hated by the Lord.

bbe@Psalms:5:9 @For no faith may be put in their words; their inner part is nothing but evil; their throat is like an open place for the dead; smooth are the words of their tongues.

bbe@Psalms:5:10 @Send them to destruction, O Lord; let their evil designs be the cause of their fall; let them be forced out by all their sins; because they have gone against your authority.

bbe@Psalms:38:16 @I said, Let them not be glad over me; when my foot is moved, let them not be lifted up with pride against me.

bbe@Psalms:40:10 @Your righteousness has not been folded away in my heart; I have made clear your true word and your salvation; I have not kept secret your mercy or your faith from the great meeting.

bbe@Psalms:40:11 @Take not away your gentle mercies from me, O Lord; let your mercy and your faith keep me safe for ever.

bbe@Psalms:40:12 @For unnumbered evils are round about me; my sins have overtaken me, so that I am bent down with their weight; they are more than the hairs of my head, my strength is gone because of them.

bbe@Psalms:40:14 @Let those who go after my soul for its destruction have shame and trouble together; let them be turned back and made foolish who take pleasure in my trouble.

bbe@Psalms:40:17 @Though I am poor and in need, the Lord has me in mind; you are my help and my saviour; let there be no waiting, O my God.

bbe@Psalms:78:5 @He put up a witness in Jacob, and made a law in Israel; which he gave to our fathers so that they might give knowledge of them to their children;

bbe@Psalms:78:8 @And not be like their fathers, a stiff-necked and uncontrolled generation; a generation whose heart was hard, whose spirit was not true to God.

bbe@Psalms:78:9 @The children of Ephraim, armed with bows, were turned back on the day of the fight.

bbe@Psalms:78:32 @For all this they went on sinning even more, and had no faith in his great wonders.

bbe@Psalms:78:34 @When he sent death on them, then they made search for him; turning to him and looking for him with care;

bbe@Psalms:78:62 @He gave his people up to the sword, and was angry with his heritage.

bbe@Psalms:78:71 @From looking after the sheep which were giving milk, he took him to give food to Jacob his people, and to Israel his heritage.

bbe@Ecclesiastes:2:21 @Because there is a man whose work has been done with wisdom, with knowledge, and with an expert hand; but one who has done nothing for it will have it for his heritage. This again is to no purpose and a great evil.

bbe@Ecclesiastes:2:22 @What does a man get for all his work, and for the weight of care with which he has done his work under the sun?

bbe@Ecclesiastes:2:25 @Who may take food or have pleasure without him?

bbe@Ecclesiastes:2:26 @To the man with whom he is pleased, God gives wisdom and knowledge and joy; but to the sinner he gives the work of getting goods together and storing up wealth, to give to him in whom God has pleasure. This again is to no purpose and desire for wind.

bbe@Ecclesiastes:3:7 @A time for undoing and a time for stitching; a time for keeping quiet and a time for talk;

bbe@Ecclesiastes:3:9 @What profit has the worker in the work which he does?

bbe@Ecclesiastes:3:11 @He has made everything right in its time; but he has made their hearts without knowledge, so that man is unable to see the works of God, from the first to the last.

bbe@Ecclesiastes:3:14 @I am certain that whatever God does will be for ever. No addition may be made to it, nothing may be taken from it; and God has done it so that man may be in fear before him.

bbe@Ecclesiastes:3:18 @I said in my heart, It is because of the sons of men, so that God may put them to the test and that they may see themselves as beasts.

bbe@Ecclesiastes:3:19 @Because the fate of the sons of men and the fate of the beasts is the same. As is the death of one so is the death of the other, and all have one spirit. Man is not higher than the beasts; because all is to no purpose.

bbe@Ecclesiastes:3:21 @Who is certain that the spirit of the sons of men goes up to heaven, or that the spirit of the beasts goes down to the earth?

bbe@Ecclesiastes:4:8 @It is one who is by himself, without a second, and without son or brother; but there is no end to all his work, and he has never enough of wealth. For whom, then, am I working and keeping myself from pleasure? This again is to no purpose, and a bitter work.

bbe@Ecclesiastes:5:1 @Put your feet down with care when you go to the house of God, for it is better to give ear than to make the burned offerings of the foolish, whose knowledge is only of doing evil.

bbe@Ecclesiastes:5:2 @Be not unwise with your mouth, and let not your heart be quick to say anything before God, because God is in heaven and you are on the earth--so let not the number of your words be great.

bbe@Ecclesiastes:5:3 @As a dream comes from much business, so the voice of a foolish man comes with words in great number.

bbe@Ecclesiastes:5:4 @When you take an oath before God, put it quickly into effect, because he has no pleasure in the foolish; keep the oath you have taken.

bbe@Ecclesiastes:5:5 @It is better not to take an oath than to take an oath and not keep it.

bbe@Ecclesiastes:5:6 @Let not your mouth make your flesh do evil. And say not before the angel, It was an error. So that God may not be angry with your words and put an end to the work of your hands.

bbe@Ecclesiastes:5:8 @If you see the poor under a cruel yoke, and law and right being violently overturned in a country, be not surprised, because one authority is keeping watch on another and there are higher than they.

bbe@Ecclesiastes:5:9 @It is good generally for a country where the land is worked to have a king.

bbe@Ecclesiastes:5:10 @He who has a love for silver never has enough silver, or he who has love for wealth, enough profit. This again is to no purpose.

bbe@Ecclesiastes:5:11 @When goods are increased, the number of those who take of them is increased; and what profit has the owner but to see them?

bbe@Ecclesiastes:5:12 @The sleep of a working man is sweet, if he has little food or much; but to him who is full, sleep will not come

bbe@Ecclesiastes:5:16 @And this again is a great evil, that in all points as he came so will he go; and what profit has he in working for the wind?

bbe@Ecclesiastes:5:18 @This is what I have seen: it is good and fair for a man to take meat and drink and to have joy in all his work under the sun, all the days of his life which God has given him; that is his reward.

bbe@Ecclesiastes:5:19 @Every man to whom God has given money and wealth and the power to have pleasure in it and to do his part and have joy in his work: this is given by God.

bbe@Ecclesiastes:5:20 @He will not give much thought to the days of his life; because God lets him be taken up with the joy of his heart.

bbe@Ecclesiastes:6:1 @There is an evil which I have seen under the sun, and it is hard on men;

bbe@Ecclesiastes:6:2 @A man to whom God gives money, wealth, and honour so that he has all his desires but God does not give him the power to have joy of it, and a strange man takes it. This is to no purpose and an evil disease.

bbe@Ecclesiastes:6:3 @If a man has a hundred children, and his life is long so that the days of his years are great in number, but his soul takes no pleasure in good, and he is not honoured at his death; I say that a birth before its time is better than he.

bbe@Ecclesiastes:6:4 @In wind it came and to the dark it will go, and with the dark will its name be covered.

bbe@Ecclesiastes:6:5 @Yes, it saw not the sun, and it had no knowledge; it is better with this than with the other.

bbe@Ecclesiastes:6:11 @There are words without number for increasing what is to no purpose, but what is man profited by them?

bbe@Ecclesiastes:7:2 @It is better to go to the house of weeping, than to go to the house of feasting; because that is the end of every man, and the living will take it to their hearts.

bbe@Ecclesiastes:7:5 @It is better to take note of the protest of the wise, than for a man to give ear to the song of the foolish.

bbe@Ecclesiastes:7:8 @The end of a thing is better than its start, and a gentle spirit is better than pride.

bbe@Ecclesiastes:7:9 @Be not quick to let your spirit be angry; because wrath is in the heart of the foolish.

bbe@Ecclesiastes:7:11 @Wisdom together with a heritage is good, and a profit to those who see the sun.

bbe@Ecclesiastes:7:12 @Wisdom keeps a man from danger even as money does; but the value of knowledge is that wisdom gives life to its owner.

bbe@Ecclesiastes:7:18 @It is good to take this in your hand and not to keep your hand from that; he who has the fear of God will be free of the two.

bbe@Ecclesiastes:7:23 @All this I have put to the test by wisdom; I said, I will be wise, but it was far from me.

bbe@Ecclesiastes:7:24 @Far off is true existence, and very deep; who may have knowledge of it?

bbe@Ecclesiastes:7:25 @I gave my mind to knowledge and to searching for wisdom and the reason of things, and to the discovery that sin is foolish, and that to be foolish is to be without one's senses.

bbe@Ecclesiastes:7:26 @And I saw a thing more bitter than death, even the woman whose heart is full of tricks and nets, and whose hands are as bands. He with whom God is pleased will get free from her, but the sinner will be taken by her.

bbe@Ecclesiastes:7:28 @For which my soul is still searching, but I have it not; one man among a thousand have I seen; but a woman among all these I have not seen.

bbe@Ecclesiastes:8:4 @The word of a king has authority; and who may say to him, What is this you are doing?

bbe@Ecclesiastes:8:7 @No one is certain what is to be, and who is able to say to him when it will be?

bbe@Ecclesiastes:8:8 @No man has authority over the wind, to keep the wind; or is ruler over the day of his death. In war no man's time is free, and evil will not keep the sinner safe.

bbe@Ecclesiastes:8:12 @Though a sinner does evil a hundred times and his life is long, I am certain that it will be well for those who go in fear of God and are in fear before him.

bbe@Ecclesiastes:8:13 @But it will not be well for the evil-doer; he will not make his days long like a shade, because he has no fear before God.

bbe@Ecclesiastes:8:15 @So I gave praise to joy, because there is nothing better for a man to do under the sun than to take meat and drink and be happy; for that will be with him in his work all the days of his life which God gives him under the sun.

bbe@Ecclesiastes:8:17 @Then I saw all the work of God, and that man may not get knowledge of the work which is done under the sun; because, if a man gives hard work to the search he will not get knowledge, and even if the wise man seems to be coming to the end of his search, still he will be without knowledge.

bbe@Ecclesiastes:9:1 @All this I took to heart, and my heart saw it all: that the upright and the wise and their works are in the hand of God; and men may not be certain if it will be love or hate; all is to no purpose before them.

bbe@Ecclesiastes:9:2 @Because to all there is one event, to the upright man and to the evil, to the clean and to the unclean, to him who makes an offering and to him who makes no offering; as is the good so is the sinner; he who takes an oath is as he who has fear of it.

bbe@Ecclesiastes:9:7 @Come, take your bread with joy, and your wine with a glad heart. God has taken pleasure in your works.

bbe@Ecclesiastes:9:8 @Let your clothing be white at all times, and let not your head be without oil.

bbe@Ecclesiastes:9:9 @Have joy with the woman of your love all the days of your foolish life which he gives you under the sun. Because that is your part in life and in your work which you do under the sun.

bbe@Ecclesiastes:9:10 @Whatever comes to your hand to do with all your power, do it because there is no work, or thought, or knowledge, or wisdom in the place of the dead to which you are going.

bbe@Ecclesiastes:9:11 @And again I saw under the sun that the reward goes not to him who is quick, or the fruits of war to the strong; and there is no bread for the wise, or wealth for men of learning, or respect for those who have knowledge; but time and chance come to all.

bbe@Ecclesiastes:9:12 @Even man has no knowledge of his time; like fishes taken in an evil net, or like birds taken by deceit, are the sons of men taken in an evil time when it comes suddenly on them.

bbe@Ecclesiastes:9:13 @This again I have seen under the sun as wisdom and it seemed great to me.

bbe@Ecclesiastes:9:14 @There was a little town and the number of its men was small, and there came a great king against it and made an attack on it, building works of war round about it.

bbe@Ecclesiastes:10:1 @Dead flies make the oil of the perfumer give out an evil smell; more valued is a little wisdom than the great glory of the foolish.

bbe@Ecclesiastes:10:6 @The foolish are placed in high positions, but men of wealth are kept low.

bbe@Ecclesiastes:10:8 @He who makes a hole for others will himself go into it, and for him who makes a hole through a wall the bite of a snake will be a punishment.

bbe@Ecclesiastes:10:10 @If the iron has no edge, and he does not make it sharp, then he has to put out more strength; but wisdom makes things go well.

bbe@Ecclesiastes:10:11 @If a snake gives a bite before the word of power is said, then there is no longer any use in the word of power.

bbe@Ecclesiastes:10:20 @Say not a curse against the king, even in your thoughts; and even secretly say not a curse against the man of wealth; because a bird of the air will take the voice, and that which has wings will give news of it.

bbe@Ecclesiastes:11:1 @Put out your bread on the face of the waters; for after a long time it will come back to you again.

bbe@Ecclesiastes:11:3 @If the clouds are full of rain, they send it down on the earth; and if a tree comes down to the south, or the north, in whatever place it comes down, there it will be.

bbe@Ecclesiastes:11:5 @As you have no knowledge of the way of the wind, or of the growth of the bones in the body of her who is with child, even so you have no knowledge of the works of God who has made all.

bbe@Ecclesiastes:11:7 @Truly the light is sweet, and it is good for the eyes to see the sun.

bbe@Ecclesiastes:12:5 @And he is in fear of that which is high, and danger is in the road, and the tree is white with flower, and the least thing is a weight, and desire is at an end, because man goes to his last resting-place, and those who are sorrowing are in the streets;

bbe@Ecclesiastes:12:7 @And the dust goes back to the earth as it was, and the spirit goes back to God who gave it.

bbe@Ecclesiastes:12:10 @The Preacher made search for words which were pleasing, but his writing was in words upright and true.

bbe@Ecclesiastes:12:11 @The words of the wise are pointed, and sayings grouped together are like nails fixed with a hammer; they are given by one guide.

bbe@Ecclesiastes:12:14 @God will be judge of every work, with every secret thing, good or evil.

bbe@Songs:1:6 @Let not your eyes be turned on me, because I am dark, because I was looked on by the sun; my mother's children were angry with me; they made me the keeper of the vine-gardens; but my vine-garden I have not kept.

bbe@Songs:1:10 @Your face is a delight with rings of hair, your neck with chains of jewels.

bbe@Songs:1:11 @We will make you chains of gold with ornaments of silver.

bbe@Songs:2:3 @As the apple-tree among the trees of the wood, so is my loved one among the sons. I took my rest under his shade with great delight, and his fruit was sweet to my taste.

bbe@Songs:2:5 @Make me strong with wine-cakes, let me be comforted with apples; I am overcome with love.

bbe@Songs:2:7 @I say to you, O daughters of Jerusalem, by the roes of the field, do not let love be moved till it is ready.

bbe@Songs:2:13 @The fig-tree puts out her green fruit and the vines with their young fruit give a good smell. Get up from your bed, my beautiful one, and come away.

bbe@Songs:2:15 @Take for us the foxes, the little foxes, which do damage to the vines; our vines have young grapes.

bbe@Songs:3:4 @I was but a little way from them, when I came face to face with him who is the love of my soul. I took him by the hands, and did not let him go, till I had taken him into my mother's house, and into the room of her who gave me birth.

bbe@Songs:3:5 @I say to you, O daughters of Jerusalem, by the roes of the field, let not love be moved till it is ready.

bbe@Songs:3:6 @Who is this coming out of the waste places like pillars of smoke, perfumed with sweet spices, with all the spices of the trader?

bbe@Songs:3:7 @See, it is the bed of Solomon; sixty men of war are about it, of the army of Israel,

bbe@Songs:3:8 @All of them armed with swords, trained in war; every man has his sword at his side, because of fear in the night.

bbe@Songs:3:10 @He made its pillars of silver, its base of gold, its seat of purple, the middle of it of ebony

bbe@Songs:3:11 @Go out, O daughters of Jerusalem, and see King Solomon, with the crown which his mother put on his head on the day when he was married, and on the day of the joy of his heart.

bbe@Songs:4:2 @Your teeth are like a flock of sheep whose wool is newly cut, which come up from the washing; every one has two lambs, and there is not one without young.

bbe@Songs:4:3 @Your red lips are like a bright thread, and your mouth is fair of form; the sides of your head are like pomegranate fruit under your veil.

bbe@Songs:4:8 @Come with me from Lebanon, my bride, with me from Lebanon; see from the top of Amana, from the top of Senir and Hermon, from the places of the lions, from the mountains of the leopards.

bbe@Songs:4:9 @You have taken away my heart, my sister, my bride; you have taken away my heart, with one look you have taken it, with one chain of your neck!

bbe@Songs:4:13 @The produce of the garden is pomegranates; with all the best fruits, henna and spikenard,

bbe@Songs:4:14 @Spikenard and safron; calamus and cinnamon, with all trees of frankincense; myrrh and aloes, with all the chief spices.

bbe@Songs:4:16 @Be awake, O north wind; and come, O south, blowing on my garden, so that its spices may come out. Let my loved one come into his garden, and take of his good fruits.

bbe@Songs:5:1 @I have come into my garden, my sister, my bride; to take my myrrh with my spice; my wax with my honey; my wine with my milk. Take meat, O friends; take wine, yes, be overcome with love.

bbe@Songs:5:2 @I am sleeping, but my heart is awake; it is the sound of my loved one at the door, saying, Be open to me, my sister, my love, my dove, my very beautiful one; my head is wet with dew, and my hair with the drops of the night.

bbe@Songs:5:3 @I have put off my coat; how may I put it on? My feet are washed; how may I make them unclean?

bbe@Songs:5:5 @I got up to let my loved one in; and my hands were dropping with myrrh, and my fingers with liquid myrrh, on the lock of the door.

bbe@Songs:5:8 @I say to you, O daughters of Jerusalem, if you see my loved one, what will you say to him? That I am overcome with love.

bbe@Songs:5:10 @My loved one is white and red, the chief among ten thousand.

bbe@Songs:5:12 @His eyes are as the eyes of doves by the water streams, washed with milk, and rightly placed

bbe@Songs:5:14 @His hands are as rings of gold ornamented with beryl-stones; his body is as a smooth plate of ivory covered with sapphires.

bbe@Songs:6:1 @Where is your loved one gone, O most fair among women? Where is your loved one turned away, that we may go looking for him with you?

bbe@Songs:6:4 @You are beautiful, O my love, as Tirzah, as fair as Jerusalem; you are to be feared like an army with flags.

bbe@Songs:6:6 @Your teeth are like a flock of sheep which come up from the washing; every one has two lambs, and there is not one without young.

bbe@Songs:6:7 @Like pomegranate fruit are the sides of your head under your veil.

bbe@Songs:6:8 @There are sixty queens, and eighty servant-wives, and young girls without number.

bbe@Songs:6:10 @Who is she, looking down as the morning light, fair as the moon, clear as the sun, who is to be feared like an army with flags?

bbe@Songs:6:12 @Before I was conscious of it,...

bbe@Songs:6:13 @Come back, come back, O Shulammite; come back, come back, so that our eyes may see you. What will you see in the Shulammite? A sword-dance.

bbe@Songs:7:2 @Your stomach is a store of grain with lilies round it, and in the middle a round cup full of wine.

bbe@Songs:7:7 @You are tall like a palm-tree, and your breasts are like the fruit of the vine.

bbe@Songs:7:8 @I said, Let me go up the palm-tree, and let me take its branches in my hands: your breasts will be as the fruit of the vine, and the smell of your breath like apples;

bbe@Songs:7:12 @Let us go out early to the vine-gardens; let us see if the vine is in bud, if it has put out its young fruit, and the pomegranate is in flower. There I will give you my love.

bbe@Songs:7:13 @The mandrakes give out a sweet smell, and at our doors are all sorts of good fruits, new and old, which I have kept for my loved one.

bbe@Songs:8:4 @I say to you, O daughters of Jerusalem, do not let love be moved till it is ready.

bbe@Songs:8:5 @Who is this, who comes up from the waste places, resting on her loved one? It was I who made you awake under the apple-tree, where your mother gave you birth; there she was in pain at your birth.

bbe@Songs:8:6 @Put me as a sign on your heart, as a sign on your arm; love is strong as death, and wrath bitter as the underworld: its coals are coals of fire; violent are its flames.

bbe@Songs:8:7 @Much water may not put out love, or the deep waters overcome it: if a man would give all the substance of his house for love, it would be judged a price not great enough.

bbe@Songs:8:9 @If she is a wall, we will make on her a strong base of silver; and if she is a door, we will let her be shut up with cedar-wood.

bbe@Songs:8:11 @Solomon had a vine-garden at Baal-hamon; he let out the vine-garden to keepers; every one had to give a thousand bits of silver for its fruit.

bbe@Songs:8:12 @My vine-garden, which is mine, is before me: you, O Solomon, will have the thousand, and those who keep the fruit of them two hundred.

bbe@Songs:8:13 @You who have your resting-place in the gardens, the friends give ear to your voice; make me give ear to it.

bbe@Isaiah:1:3 @Even the ox has knowledge of its owner, and the ass of the place where its master puts its food: but Israel has no knowledge, my people give no thought to me.

bbe@Isaiah:1:4 @O nation full of sin, a people weighted down with crime, a generation of evil-doers, false-hearted children: they have gone away from the Lord, they have no respect for the Holy One of Israel, their hearts are turned back from him.

bbe@Isaiah:1:6 @The body, from head to foot, is all diseased; it is a mass of open wounds, marks of blows, and broken flesh: the flow of blood has not been stopped, and no oil has been put on the wounds.

bbe@Isaiah:1:7 @Your country has become waste; your towns are burned with fire; as for your land, it is overturned before your eyes, made waste and overcome by men from strange lands.

bbe@Isaiah:1:8 @And the daughter of Zion has become like a tent in a vine-garden, like a watchman's house in a field of fruit, like a town shut in by armies.

bbe@Isaiah:1:12 @At whose request do you come before me, making my house unclean with your feet?

bbe@Isaiah:1:14 @Your new moons and your regular feasts are a grief to my soul: they are a weight in my spirit; I am crushed under them.

bbe@Isaiah:1:18 @Come now, and let us have an argument together, says the Lord: how may your sins which are red like blood be white as snow? how may their dark purple seem like wool?

bbe@Isaiah:1:19 @If you will give ear to my word and do it, the good things of the land will be yours;

bbe@Isaiah:1:22 @Your silver is no longer true metal, your wine is mixed with water.

bbe@Isaiah:1:23 @Your chiefs have gone against the Lord, they have become friends of thieves; every one of them is looking for profit and going after rewards; they do not give right decisions for the child who has no father, and they do not let the cause of the widow come before them.

bbe@Isaiah:1:25 @And my hand will again be on you, washing away what is unclean as with soap, and taking away all your false metal;

bbe@Isaiah:1:30 @For you will be like a tree whose leaves have become dry, and like a garden without water.

bbe@Isaiah:1:31 @And the strong will be as food for the fire, and his work as a flame; and they will be burned together, with no one to put out the fire.

bbe@Isaiah:2:2 @And it will come about in the last days, that the mountain of the Lord will be placed on the top of the mountains, and be lifted up over the hills; and all nations will come to it.

bbe@Isaiah:2:6 @For you, O Lord, have given up your people, the family of Jacob, because they are full of the evil ways of the east, and make use of secret arts like the Philistines, and are friends with the children of strange countries.

bbe@Isaiah:2:10 @Go into a hole in the rock, covering yourselves with dust, in fear of the Lord, before the glory of his power.

bbe@Isaiah:2:19 @And men will go into cracks of the rocks, and into holes of the earth, for fear of the Lord, and before the glory of his power, when he comes out of his place, shaking the earth with his strength.

bbe@Isaiah:2:21 @To take cover in the cracks of the rocks, and in the holes of the hills, for fear of the Lord, and before the glory of his power, when he comes out of his place, shaking the earth with his strength.

bbe@Isaiah:2:22 @Have no more to do with man, whose life is only a breath, for he is of no value.

bbe@Isaiah:3:3 @The captain of fifty, and the man of high position, and the wise guide, and the wonder-worker, and he who makes use of secret powers.

bbe@Isaiah:3:5 @And the people will be crushed, every one by his neighbour; the young will be full of pride against the old, and those of low position will be lifted up against the noble.

bbe@Isaiah:3:6 @When one man puts his hand on another in his father's house, and says, You have clothing, be our ruler and be responsible for us in our sad condition:

bbe@Isaiah:3:7 @Then he will say with an oath, I will not be a helper, for in my house there is no bread or clothing: I will not let you make me a ruler of the people.

bbe@Isaiah:3:9 @Their respect for a man's position is a witness against them; and their sin is open to the view of all; like that of Sodom, it is not covered. A curse on their soul! for the measure of their sin is full.

bbe@Isaiah:3:10 @Happy is the upright man! for he will have joy of the fruit of his ways

bbe@Isaiah:3:12 @As for my people, their ruler is acting like a child, and those who have authority over them are women. O my people, your guides are the cause of your wandering, turning your footsteps out of the right way.

bbe@Isaiah:3:14 @The Lord comes to be the judge of their responsible men and of their rulers: it is you who have made waste the vine-garden, and in your houses is the property of the poor which you have taken by force.

bbe@Isaiah:3:15 @By what right are you crushing my people, and putting a bitter yoke on the necks of the poor? This is the word of the Lord, the Lord of armies.

bbe@Isaiah:3:16 @Again, the Lord has said, Because the daughters of Zion are full of pride, and go with outstretched necks and wandering eyes, with their foot-chains sounding when they go:

bbe@Isaiah:3:20 @The head-bands, and the arm-chains, and the worked bands, and the perfume-boxes, and the jewels with secret powers,

bbe@Isaiah:4:2 @In that day will the young growth of the Lord be beautiful in glory, and the fruit of the earth will be the pride of those who are still living in Israel.

bbe@Isaiah:4:3 @And it will come about that the rest of the living in Zion, and of those who have been kept from destruction in Jerusalem, will be named holy, even everyone who has been recorded for life in Jerusalem:

bbe@Isaiah:5:2 @And after working the earth of it with a spade, he took away its stones, and put in it a very special vine; and he put up a watchtower in the middle of it, hollowing out in the rock a place for the grape-crushing; and he was hoping that it would give the best grapes, but it gave common grapes.

bbe@Isaiah:5:4 @Is there anything which might have been done for my vine-garden which I have not done? why then, when I was hoping for the best grapes did it give me common grapes?

bbe@Isaiah:5:5 @And now, this is what I will do to my vine-garden: I will take away the circle of thorns round it, and it will be burned up; its wall will be broken down and the beasts of the field will go through it;

bbe@Isaiah:5:6 @And I will make it waste; its branches will not be touched with the knife, or the earth worked with the spade; but blackberries and thorns will come up in it: and I will give orders to the clouds not to send rain on it.

bbe@Isaiah:5:9 @The Lord of armies has said to me secretly, Truly, numbers of great and fair houses will be waste, with no one living in them.

bbe@Isaiah:5:11 @Cursed are those who get up early in the morning to give themselves up to strong drink; who keep on drinking far into the night till they are heated with wine!

bbe@Isaiah:5:14 @For this cause the underworld has made wide its throat, opening its mouth without limit: and her glory, and the noise of her masses, and her loud-voiced feasters, will go down into it.

bbe@Isaiah:5:19 @Who say, Let him do his work quickly, let him make it sudden, so that we may see it: let the design of the Holy One of Israel come near, so that it may be clear to us.

bbe@Isaiah:5:20 @Cursed are those who give the name of good to evil, and of evil to what is good: who make light dark, and dark light: who make bitter sweet, and sweet bitter!

bbe@Isaiah:5:27 @There is no weariness among them, and no man is feeble-footed: they come without resting or sleeping, and the cord of their shoes is not broken.

bbe@Isaiah:5:29 @The sound of their armies will be like the voice of a lion, and their war-cry like the noise of young lions: with loud cries they will come down on their food and will take it away safely, and there will be no one to take it out of their hands.

bbe@Isaiah:5:30 @And his voice will be loud over him in that day like the sounding of the sea: and if a man's eyes are turned to the earth, it is all dark and full of trouble; and the light is made dark by thick clouds.

bbe@Isaiah:6:6 @Then a winged one came to me with a burning coal in his hand, which he had taken from off the altar with the fire-spoon.

bbe@Isaiah:6:7 @And after touching my mouth with it, he said, See, your lips have been touched with this; and your evil is taken away, and you are made clean from sin.

bbe@Isaiah:6:9 @And he said, Go, and say to this people, You will go on hearing, but learning nothing; you will go on seeing, but without getting wiser.

bbe@Isaiah:6:10 @Make the hearts of this people fat, and let their ears be stopped, and their eyes shut; for fear that they may see with their eyes, and be hearing with their ears, and their heart may become wise, and they may be turned to me and made well.

bbe@Isaiah:6:13 @And even if there is still a tenth part in it, it will again be burned, like a tree of the woods whose broken end is still in the earth after the tree has been cut down (the holy seed is the broken end).

bbe@Isaiah:7:1 @Now it came about in the days of Ahaz, the son of Jotham, the son of Uzziah, king of Judah, that Rezin, the king of Aram, and Pekah, the son of Remaliah, the king of Israel, came up to Jerusalem to make war against it, but were not able to overcome it.

bbe@Isaiah:7:2 @And word came to the family of David that Aram had put up its tents in Ephraim. And the king's heart, and the hearts of his people, were moved, like the trees of the wood shaking in the wind.

bbe@Isaiah:7:4 @And say to him, Take care and be quiet; have no fear, and do not let your heart be feeble, because of these two ends of smoking fire-wood, because of the bitter wrath of Rezin and Aram, and of the son of Remaliah.

bbe@Isaiah:7:9 @And the head of Ephraim is Samaria, and the head of Samaria is Remaliah's son. If you will not have faith, your kingdom will be broken.

bbe@Isaiah:7:13 @And he said, Give ear now, O family of David: is it not enough that you are driving men to disgust? will you do the same to my God?

bbe@Isaiah:7:14 @For this cause the Lord himself will give you a sign; a young woman is now with child, and she will give birth to a son, and she will give him the name Immanuel.

bbe@Isaiah:7:18 @And it will be in that day that the Lord will make a piping sound for the fly which is in the end of the rivers of Egypt, and for the bee which is in the land of Assyria.

bbe@Isaiah:7:20 @In that day will the Lord take away the hair of the head and of the feet, as well as the hair of the face, with a blade got for a price from the other side of the River; even with the king of Assyria.

bbe@Isaiah:7:21 @And it will be in that day that a man will give food to a young cow and two sheep;

bbe@Isaiah:7:23 @And it will be in that day that in every place where before there were a thousand vines valued at a thousand shekels of silver, there will be nothing but blackberries and thorns.

bbe@Isaiah:7:24 @Men will come there with bows and arrows, because all the land will be full of blackberries and thorns.

bbe@Isaiah:7:25 @And they will send out the oxen and the sheep on all the hills which before were worked with the spade,... fear of blackberries and thorns.

bbe@Isaiah:8:1 @And the Lord said to me, Take a great writing-board, and on it put down in common letters, Maher-shalal-hash-baz;

bbe@Isaiah:8:2 @And take true witnesses to the writing, Uriah the priest, and Zechariah, the son of Jeberechiah.

bbe@Isaiah:8:3 @And I went in to my wife, and she became with child, and gave birth to a son. Then the Lord said to me, Give him the name Maher-shalal-hash-baz,

bbe@Isaiah:8:6 @Because this people will have nothing to do with the softly-flowing waters of Shiloah, and have fear of Rezin and Remaliah's son;

bbe@Isaiah:8:7 @For this cause the Lord is sending on them the waters of the River, deep and strong, even the king of Assyria and all his glory: and it will come up through all its streams, overflowing all its edges:

bbe@Isaiah:8:8 @And it will come on into Judah; rushing on and overflowing, till the waters are up to the neck; *** and his outstretched wings will be covering the land from side to side: for God is with us.

bbe@Isaiah:8:10 @Let your designs be formed, and they will come to nothing; give your orders, and they will not be effected: for God is with us.

bbe@Isaiah:8:11 @For the Lord, controlling me with a strong hand, gave me orders not to go in the way of this people, saying,

bbe@Isaiah:8:12 @Do not say, It is holy, about everything of which this people says, It is holy; and do not be in fear of what they go in fear of.

bbe@Isaiah:8:17 @And I will be waiting for the Lord, whose face is veiled from the house of Jacob, and I will be looking for him.

bbe@Isaiah:8:19 @And when they say to you, Make request for us to those who have control of spirits, and to those wise in secret arts, who make hollow bird-like sounds; is it not right for a people to make request to their gods, to make request for the living to the dead?

bbe@Isaiah:8:20 @Then say to them, Put your faith in the teaching and the witness.... If they do not say such things.... For him there is no dawn....

bbe@Isaiah:8:21 @And he will go through the land in bitter trouble and in need of food; and when he is unable to get food, he will become angry, cursing his king and his God, and his eyes will be turned to heaven on high;

bbe@Isaiah:9:1 @In earlier times he made the land of Zebulun and the land of Naphtali of small value, but after that he gave it glory, by the way of the sea, on the other side of Jordan, Galilee of the nations.

bbe@Isaiah:9:5 @For every boot of the man of war with his sounding step, and the clothing rolled in blood, will be for burning, food for the fire.

bbe@Isaiah:9:7 @Of the increase of his rule and of peace there will be no end, on the seat of David, and in his kingdom; to make it strong, supporting it with wise decision and righteousness, now and for ever. By the fixed purpose of the Lord of armies this will be done.

bbe@Isaiah:9:8 @The Lord has sent a word to Jacob, and it has come on Israel;

bbe@Isaiah:9:9 @And all the people will have experience of it, even Ephraim and the men of Samaria, who say in the pride of their uplifted hearts,

bbe@Isaiah:9:12 @Aram on the east, and the Philistines on the west, who have come against Israel with open mouths. For all this his wrath is not turned away, but his hand is stretched out still.

bbe@Isaiah:9:17 @For this cause the Lord will have no pleasure in their young men, and no pity on their widows and the children without fathers: for they are all haters of God and evil-doers, and foolish words come from every mouth. For all this his wrath is not turned away, but his hand is stretched out still.

bbe@Isaiah:9:19 @The land was dark with the wrath of the Lord of armies: the people were like those who take men's flesh for food.

bbe@Isaiah:9:20 @On the right a man was cutting off bits and was still in need; on the left a man took a meal but had not enough; no man had pity on his brother; every man was making a meal of the flesh of his neighbour

bbe@Isaiah:10:1 @Cursed are those who make evil decisions, and the writers who make the records of their cruel acts:

bbe@Isaiah:10:12 @For this cause it will be that, when the purpose of the Lord against Mount Zion and Jerusalem is complete, I will send punishment on the pride of the heart of the king of Assyria, and on the glory of his uplifted eyes.

bbe@Isaiah:10:13 @For he has said, By the strength of my hand I have done it, and by my knowledge, for I am wise: and I have taken away the limits of the peoples' lands, and the stores of their wealth have become mine; and I have made towns low in the dust, sending destruction on those living in them;

bbe@Isaiah:10:15 @Will the axe say high-sounding words against him who is using it, or the blade be full of pride against him who is cutting with it? As if a rod had the power of shaking him who is using it, or as if a stick might take up him who is not wood.

bbe@Isaiah:10:18 @And he will put an end to the glory of his woods and of his planted fields, soul and body together; and it will be as when a man is wasted by disease.

bbe@Isaiah:10:19 @And the rest of the trees of his wood will be small in number, so that a child may put them down in writing.

bbe@Isaiah:10:20 @And it will be in that day that the rest of Israel, and those of Jacob who have come safely through these troubles, will no longer go for help to him whose rod was on their back, but their faith will be in the Lord, the Holy One of Israel.

bbe@Isaiah:10:26 @And the Lord of armies will be shaking a whip against him, as when he overcame Midian at the rock of Oreb: and his rod will be lifted up against them as it was against the Egyptians.

bbe@Isaiah:10:29 @They have gone across the mountain; Geba will be our resting-place tonight, they say: Ramah is shaking with fear; Gibeah of Saul has gone in flight.

bbe@Isaiah:10:33 @See, the Lord, the Lord of armies, is cutting off his branches with a great noise, and his strong ones are falling and his high ones are coming down.

bbe@Isaiah:10:34 @And he is cutting down the thick places of the wood with an axe, and Lebanon with its tall trees is coming down.

bbe@Isaiah:11:1 @And there will come a rod out of the broken tree of Jesse, and a branch out of his roots will give fruit.

bbe@Isaiah:11:2 @And the spirit of the Lord will be resting on him, the spirit of wisdom and good sense, the spirit of wise guiding and strength, the spirit of knowledge and of the fear of the Lord;

bbe@Isaiah:11:4 @But he will do right in the cause of the poor, and give wise decisions for those in the land who are in need; and the rod of his mouth will come down on the cruel, and with the breath of his lips he will put an end to the evil-doer.

bbe@Isaiah:11:5 @And righteousness will be the cord of his robe, and good faith the band round his breast.

bbe@Isaiah:11:6 @And the wolf will be living with the lamb, and the leopard will take his rest with the young goat; and the lion will take grass for food like the ox; and the young lion will go with the young ones of the herd; and a little child will be their guide.

bbe@Isaiah:11:14 @And they will be united in attacking the Philistines on the west, and together they will take the goods of the children of the east: their hand will be on Edom and Moab; and the children of Ammon will be under their rule.

bbe@Isaiah:11:15 @And the Lord will make the tongue of the Egyptian sea completely dry; and with his burning wind his hand will be stretched out over the River, and it will be parted into seven streams, so that men may go over it with dry feet.

bbe@Isaiah:12:1 @And in that day you will say I will give praise to you, O Lord; for though you were angry with me, your wrath is turned away, and I am comforted.

bbe@Isaiah:12:2 @See, God is my salvation; I will have faith in the Lord, without fear: for the Lord Jah is my strength and song; and he has become my salvation.

bbe@Isaiah:12:3 @So with joy will you get water out of the springs of salvation.

bbe@Isaiah:13:2 @Put up a flag on a clear mountain-top, make a loud outcry to them, give directions with the hand, so that they may go into the doors of the great ones.

bbe@Isaiah:13:5 @They come from a far country, from the farthest part of heaven, even the Lord and the instruments of his wrath, with destruction for all the land.

bbe@Isaiah:13:6 @Send out a cry of grief; for the day of the Lord is near; it comes as destruction from the Most High.

bbe@Isaiah:13:9 @See, the day of the Lord is coming, cruel, with wrath and burning passion: to make the land a waste, driving the sinners in it to destruction.

bbe@Isaiah:13:10 @For the stars of heaven and its bright armies will not give their light: the sun will be made dark in his journey through the heaven, and the moon will keep back her light.

bbe@Isaiah:13:11 @And I will send punishment on the world for its evil, and on the sinners for their wrongdoing; and I will put an end to all pride, and will make low the power of the cruel.

bbe@Isaiah:13:13 @For this cause the heavens will be shaking, and the earth will be moved out of its place, in the wrath of the Lord of armies, and in the day of his burning passion.

bbe@Isaiah:13:14 @And it will be that, like a roe in flight, and like wandering sheep, they will go every man to his people and to his land.

bbe@Isaiah:13:18 @In their hands are bows and spears; they are cruel, violently putting the young men to death, and crushing the young women; they have no pity for children, and no mercy for the fruit of the body.

bbe@Isaiah:13:20 @People will never be living in it again, and it will have no more men from generation to generation: the Arab will not put up his tent there; and those who keep sheep will not make it a resting-place for their flocks.

bbe@Isaiah:13:21 @But the beasts of the waste land will have their holes there; and the houses will be full of crying jackals, and ostriches will have their place there, and evil spirits will be dancing there.

bbe@Isaiah:14:2 @And the people will take them with them to their place: and the children of Israel will give them a heritage in the Lord's land as men-servants and women-servants, making them prisoners whose prisoners they were; and they will be rulers over their masters.

bbe@Isaiah:14:3 @And it will be, in the day when the Lord gives you rest from your sorrow, and from your trouble, and from the hard yoke which they had put on you,

bbe@Isaiah:14:4 @That you will take up this bitter song against the king of Babylon, and say, How has the cruel overseer come to an end! He who was lifted up in pride is cut off;

bbe@Isaiah:14:6 @He whose rod was on the peoples with an unending wrath, ruling the nations in passion, with an uncontrolled rule.

bbe@Isaiah:14:8 @Even the trees of the wood are glad over you, the trees of Lebanon, saying, From the time of your fall no wood-cutter has come up against us with an axe.

bbe@Isaiah:14:11 @Your pride has gone down into the underworld, and the noise of your instruments of music; the worms are under you, and your body is covered with them.

bbe@Isaiah:14:15 @But you will come down to the underworld, even to its inmost parts.

bbe@Isaiah:14:16 @Those who see you will be looking on you with care, they will be in deep thought, saying, Is this the troubler of the earth, the shaker of kingdoms?

bbe@Isaiah:14:17 @Who made the world a waste, overturning its towns; who did not let his prisoners loose from the prison-house

bbe@Isaiah:14:19 @But you, like a birth before its time, are stretched out with no resting-place in the earth; clothed with the bodies of the dead who have been put to the sword, who go down to the lowest parts of the underworld; a dead body, crushed under foot.

bbe@Isaiah:14:20 @As for your fathers, you will not be united with them in their resting-place, because you have been the cause of destruction to your land, and of death to your people; the seed of the evil-doer will have no place in the memory of man.

bbe@Isaiah:14:21 @Make ready a place of death for his children, because of the evil-doing of their father; so that they may not come up and take the earth for their heritage, covering the face of the world with waste places.

bbe@Isaiah:14:23 @And I will make you a heritage for the hedgehog, and pools of water: and I will go through it with the brush of destruction, says the Lord of armies.

bbe@Isaiah:14:27 @For it is the purpose of the Lord of armies, and who will make it of no effect? when his hand is stretched out, by whom may it be turned back?

bbe@Isaiah:14:29 @Be not glad, O Philistia, all of you, because the rod which was on you is broken: for out of the snake's root will come a poison-snake, and its fruit will be a winged poison-snake.

bbe@Isaiah:15:3 @In their streets they are covering themselves with haircloth: on the tops of their houses, and in their public places, there is crying and bitter weeping.

bbe@Isaiah:15:4 @Heshbon is crying out, and Elealeh; their voice is sounding even to Jahaz: for this cause the heart of Moab is shaking; his soul is shaking with fear.

bbe@Isaiah:15:5 @My heart is crying out for Moab; her people go in flight to Zoar, and to Eglath-shelishiyah: for they go up with weeping by the slope of Luhith; on the way to Horonaim they send up a cry of destruction.

bbe@Isaiah:15:8 @For the cry has gone round the limits of Moab; as far as to Eglaim and Beer-elim.

bbe@Isaiah:16:4 @Let those who have been forced out of Moab have a resting-place with you; be a cover to them from him who is making waste their land: till the cruel ones are cut off, and wasting has come to an end, and those who take pleasure in crushing the poor are gone from the land.

bbe@Isaiah:16:5 @Then a king's seat will be based on mercy, and one will be seated on it in the tent of David for ever; judging uprightly, and quick to do righteousness.

bbe@Isaiah:16:6 @We have had word of the pride of Moab, how great it is; how he is lifted up in pride and passion: his high words about himself are false.

bbe@Isaiah:16:9 @For this cause my sorrow for the vine of Sibmah will be like the weeping for Jazer: my eyes are dropping water on you, O Heshbon and Elealeh! For they are sounding the war-cry over your summer fruits and the getting in of your grain;

bbe@Isaiah:16:10 @And all joy is gone; no longer are they glad for the fertile field; and in the vine-gardens there are no songs or sounds of joy: the crushing of grapes has come to an end, and its glad cry has been stopped.

bbe@Isaiah:16:12 @And when Moab goes up to the high place, and makes prayer in the house of his god, it will have no effect.

bbe@Isaiah:16:14 @But now the Lord has said, In three years, the years of a servant working for payment, the glory of Moab, all that great people, will be turned to shame, and the rest of Moab will be very small and without honour.

bbe@Isaiah:17:1 @The word about Damascus. See, they have made Damascus a town no longer; it has become a waste place.

bbe@Isaiah:17:2 @Her towns are unpeopled for ever; there the flocks take their rest in peace, without fear.

bbe@Isaiah:17:4 @And it will be in that day that the glory of Jacob will be made small, and the strength of his body will become feeble.

bbe@Isaiah:17:5 @And it will be like a man cutting the growth of his grain, pulling together the heads of the grain with his arm; even as when they get in the grain in the valley of Rephaim.

bbe@Isaiah:17:6 @But it will be like a man shaking an olive-tree, something will still be there, two or three berries on the top of the highest branch, four or five on the outside branches of a fertile tree, says the Lord, the God of Israel.

bbe@Isaiah:17:9 @In that day your towns will be like the waste places of the Hivites and the Amorites which the children of Israel took for a heritage, and they will come to destruction.

bbe@Isaiah:17:10 @For you have not given honour to the God of your salvation, and have not kept in mind the Rock of your strength; for this cause you made a garden of Adonis, and put in it the vine-cuttings of a strange god;

bbe@Isaiah:17:11 @In the day of your planting you were watching its growth, and in the morning your seed was flowering: but its fruit is wasted away in the day of grief and bitter sorrow.

bbe@Isaiah:18:2 @Which sends its representatives by the sea, even in ships of papyrus on the waters. Go back quickly, O representatives, to a nation tall and smooth, to a people causing fear through all their history; a strong nation, crushing down its haters, whose land is cut through by rivers.

bbe@Isaiah:18:5 @For before the time of getting in the grapes, after the opening of the bud, when the flower has become a grape ready for crushing, he will take away the small branches with knives, cutting down and taking away the wide-stretching branches.

bbe@Isaiah:18:7 @In that time an offering will be made to the Lord of armies from a people tall and smooth, causing fear through all their history; a strong nation, crushing down its haters, whose land is cut through by rivers, an offering taken to the place of the name of the Lord of armies, even Mount Zion.

bbe@Isaiah:19:3 @And the spirit of Egypt will be troubled in her, and I will make her decisions without effect: and they will be turning to the false gods, and to those who make hollow sounds, and to those who have control of spirits, and to those who are wise in secret arts.

bbe@Isaiah:19:14 @The Lord has sent among them a spirit of error: and by them Egypt is turned out of the right way in all her doings, as a man overcome by wine is uncertain in his steps.

bbe@Isaiah:19:16 @In that day the Egyptians will be like women: and the land will be shaking with fear because of the waving of the Lord's hand stretched out over it.

bbe@Isaiah:19:17 @And the land of Judah will become a cause of great fear to Egypt; whenever its name comes to mind, Egypt will be in fear before the Lord of armies because of his purpose against it.

bbe@Isaiah:19:20 @And it will be a sign and a witness to the Lord of armies in the land of Egypt: when they are crying out to the Lord because of their cruel masters, then he will send them a saviour and a strong one to make them free.

bbe@Isaiah:19:21 @And the Lord will give the knowledge of himself to Egypt, and the Egyptians will give honour to the Lord in that day; they will give him worship with offerings and meal offerings, and will take an oath to the Lord and give effect to it.

bbe@Isaiah:19:23 @In that day there will be a highway out of Egypt to Assyria, and Assyria will come into Egypt, and Egypt will come into Assyria; and the Egyptians will give worship to the Lord together with the Assyrians.

bbe@Isaiah:19:24 @In that day Israel will be the third together with Egypt and Assyria, a blessing in the earth:

bbe@Isaiah:19:25 @Because of the blessing of the Lord of armies which he has given them, saying, A blessing on Egypt my people, and on Assyria the work of my hands, and on Israel my heritage.

bbe@Isaiah:20:1 @In the year when the Tartan came to Ashdod, sent by Sargon, king of Assyria, and made war against it and took it;

bbe@Isaiah:20:2 @At that time the word of the Lord came to Isaiah, the son of Amoz, saying, Go, and take off your robe, and your shoes from your feet; and he did so, walking unclothed and without shoes on his feet.

bbe@Isaiah:20:3 @And the Lord said, As my servant Isaiah has gone unclothed and without shoes for three years as a sign and a wonder to Egypt and Ethiopia,

bbe@Isaiah:20:4 @So will the king of Assyria take away the prisoners of Egypt and those forced out of Ethiopia, young and old, unclothed and without shoes, and with backs uncovered, to the shame of Egypt.

bbe@Isaiah:20:5 @And they will be full of fear, and will no longer have faith in Ethiopia which was their hope, or in Egypt which was their glory.

bbe@Isaiah:21:1 @The word about the waste land. As storm-winds in the South go rushing through, it comes from the waste land, from the land greatly to be feared.

bbe@Isaiah:21:2 @A vision of fear comes before my eyes; the worker of deceit goes on in his false way, and the waster goes on making waste. Up! Elam; to the attack! Media; I have put an end to her sorrow.

bbe@Isaiah:21:3 @For this cause I am full of bitter grief; pains like the pains of a woman in childbirth have come on me: I am bent down with sorrow at what comes to my ears; I am shocked by what I see.

bbe@Isaiah:21:7 @And when he sees war-carriages, horsemen by twos, war-carriages with asses, war-carriages with camels, let him give special attention.

bbe@Isaiah:21:9 @See, here come war-carriages with men, horsemen by twos: and in answer he said, Babylon is made low, is made low, and all her images are broken on the earth.

bbe@Isaiah:21:13 @The word about Arabia. In the thick woods of Arabia will be your night's resting-place, O travelling bands of Dedanites!

bbe@Isaiah:21:17 @And the rest of the bowmen, the men of war of the children of Kedar, will be small in number: for the Lord, the God of Israel, has said it.

bbe@Isaiah:22:4 @For this cause I have said, Let your eyes be turned away from me in my bitter weeping; I will not be comforted for the wasting of the daughter of my people.

bbe@Isaiah:22:5 @For it is a day of trouble and of crushing down and of destruction from the Lord, the Lord of armies, in the valley of vision;...

bbe@Isaiah:22:6 @And Elam was armed with arrows, and Aram came on horseback; and the breastplate of Kir was uncovered.

bbe@Isaiah:22:7 @And your most fertile valleys were full of war-carriages, and the horsemen took up their positions in front of the town.

bbe@Isaiah:22:8 @He took away the cover of Judah; and in that day you were looking with care at the store of arms in the house of the woods.

bbe@Isaiah:22:11 @And you made a place between the two walls for storing the waters of the old pool: but you gave no thought to him who had done this, and were not looking to him by whom it had been purposed long before.

bbe@Isaiah:22:15 @The Lord, the Lord of armies, says, Go to this person in authority, this Shebna, who is over the house; who has made himself a resting-place on high, cutting out a place for himself in the rock, and say,

bbe@Isaiah:22:17 @See, O strong man, the Lord will send you violently away, gripping you with force,

bbe@Isaiah:22:19 @And I will have you forced out of your place of authority, and pulled down from your position.

bbe@Isaiah:22:21 @And I will put your robe on him, and put your band about him, and I will give your authority into his hand: and he will be a father to the men of Jerusalem, and to the family of Judah.

bbe@Isaiah:22:25 @In that day, says the Lord of armies, will the nail fixed in a safe place give way; and it will be cut down, and in its fall the weight hanging on it will be cut off, for the Lord has said it.

bbe@Isaiah:23:1 @The word about Tyre. Let a cry of sorrow go up, O ships of Tarshish, because your strong place is made waste; on the way back from the land of Kittim the news is given to them.

bbe@Isaiah:23:4 @Be shamed, O Zidon: for the sea, the strong place of the sea has said, I have not been with child, or given birth; I have not taken care of young men, or kept watch over the growth of virgins.

bbe@Isaiah:23:5 @When the news comes to Egypt they will be bitterly pained at the fate of Tyre.

bbe@Isaiah:23:9 @It was the purpose of the Lord of armies to put pride to shame, to make sport of the glory of those who are honoured in the earth.

bbe@Isaiah:23:10 @Let your land be worked with the plough, O daughter of Tarshish; there is no longer any harbour.

bbe@Isaiah:23:11 @His hand is stretched out over the sea, the kingdoms are shaking: the Lord has given orders about Canaan, to make waste its strong places.

bbe@Isaiah:23:12 @And he said, There is no more joy for you, O crushed virgin daughter of Zidon: up! go over to Kittim; even there you will have no rest.

bbe@Isaiah:23:15 @And it will be in that day that Tyre will go out of mind for seventy years, that is, the days of one king: after the end of seventy years it will be for Tyre as in the song of the loose woman.

bbe@Isaiah:23:16 @Take an instrument of music, go about the town, O loose woman who has gone out from the memory of man; make sweet melody with songs, so that you may come back to men's minds.

bbe@Isaiah:23:17 @And it will be after the end of seventy years, that the Lord will have mercy on Tyre, and she will go back to her trade, acting as a loose woman with all the kingdoms of the world on the face of the earth.

bbe@Isaiah:24:1 @See, the Lord is making the earth waste and unpeopled, he is turning it upside down, and sending the people in all directions.

bbe@Isaiah:24:2 @And it will be the same for the people as for the priest; for the servant as for his master; and for the woman-servant as for her owner; the same for the one offering goods for a price as for him who takes them; the same for him who gives money at interest and for him who takes it; the same for him who lets others have the use of his property as for those who make use of it.

bbe@Isaiah:24:3 @The earth will be completely waste and without men; for this is the word of the Lord.

bbe@Isaiah:24:5 @The earth has been made unclean by those living in it; because the laws have not been kept by them, the orders have been changed, and the eternal agreement has been broken.

bbe@Isaiah:24:6 @For this cause the earth is given up to the curse, and those in it are judged as sinners: for this cause those living on the earth are burned up, and the rest are small in number.

bbe@Isaiah:24:9 @There is no more drinking of wine with a song; strong drink will be bitter to those who take it.

bbe@Isaiah:24:13 @For it will be in the heart of the earth among the peoples, like the shaking of an olive-tree, as the last of the grapes after the getting-in is done.

bbe@Isaiah:24:18 @And it will be that he who goes in flight from the sound of fear will be overtaken by death; and he who gets free from death will be taken in the net: for the windows on high are open, and the bases of the earth are shaking.

bbe@Isaiah:24:19 @The earth is completely broken, it is parted in two, it is violently moved.

bbe@Isaiah:24:20 @The earth will be moving uncertainly, like a man overcome by drink; it will be shaking like a tent; and the weight of its sin will be on it, crushing it down so that it will not get up again

bbe@Isaiah:25:2 @For you have made a town a waste place: a strong town a mass of broken walls; the tower of the men of pride has come to an end; it will never be put up again.

bbe@Isaiah:25:8 @He has put an end to death for ever; and the Lord God will take away all weeping; and he will put an end to the shame of his people in all the earth: for the Lord has said it.

bbe@Isaiah:25:9 @And in that day it will be said, See, this is our God; we have been waiting for him, and he will be our saviour: this is the Lord in whom is our hope; we will be glad and have delight in his salvation

bbe@Isaiah:26:2 @Let the doors be open, so that the upright nation which keeps faith may come in.

bbe@Isaiah:26:5 @For he has made low those who are lifted up, all the people of the town of pride: he makes it low, crushing it down to the earth; he makes it low in the dust.

bbe@Isaiah:26:6 @It will be crushed under the feet of the poor and the steps of those who are in need.

bbe@Isaiah:26:8 @We have been waiting for you, O Lord; the desire of our soul is for the memory of your name.

bbe@Isaiah:26:9 @In the night the desire of my soul has been for you; early will my spirit be searching for you; for when your punishments come on the earth, the people of the world will get the knowledge of righteousness.

bbe@Isaiah:26:14 @The dead will not come back to life: their spirits will not come back to earth; for this cause you have sent destruction on them, so that the memory of them is dead.

bbe@Isaiah:26:15 @You have made the nation great, O Lord, you have made it great; glory is yours: you have made wide the limits of the land.

bbe@Isaiah:26:17 @As a woman with child, whose time is near, is troubled, crying out in her pain; so have we been before you, O Lord.

bbe@Isaiah:26:18 @We have been with child, we have been in pain, we have given birth to wind; no salvation has come to the earth through us, and no children have come into the world.

bbe@Isaiah:27:1 @In that day the Lord, with his great and strong and cruel sword, will send punishment on Leviathan, the quick-moving snake, and on Leviathan, the twisted snake; and he will put to death the dragon which is in the sea.

bbe@Isaiah:27:2 @In that day it will be said, A vine-garden of delight, make a song about it.

bbe@Isaiah:27:3 @I, the Lord, am watching it; I will give it water at all times: I will keep it night and day, for fear that any damage comes to it.

bbe@Isaiah:27:5 @Or let him put himself under my power, and make peace with me.

bbe@Isaiah:27:6 @In days to come Jacob will take root: Israel will put out buds and flowers; and the face of the world will be full of fruit.

bbe@Isaiah:27:8 @Your anger against her has been made clear by driving her away; he has taken her away with his storm-wind in the day of his east wind.

bbe@Isaiah:27:9 @So by this will the sin of Jacob be covered, and this is all the fruit of taking away his punishment; when all the stones of the altar are crushed together, so that the wood pillars and the sun-images will not be put up again.

bbe@Isaiah:27:10 @For the strong town is without men, an unpeopled living-place; and she has become a waste land: there the young ox will take his rest, and its branches will be food for him.

bbe@Isaiah:27:11 @When its branches are dry they will be broken off; the women will come and put fire to them: for it is a foolish people; for this cause he who made them will have no mercy on them, and he whose work they are will not have pity on them.

bbe@Isaiah:27:12 @And it will be in that day that the Lord will get together his grain, from the River to the stream of Egypt, and you will be got together with care, O children of Israel.

bbe@Isaiah:27:13 @And it will be in that day that a great horn will be sounded; and those who were wandering in the land of Assyria, and those who had been sent away into the land of Egypt, will come; and they will give worship to the Lord in the holy mountain at Jerusalem

bbe@Isaiah:28:4 @And the dead flower of his glory, which is on the head of the fertile valley, will be like the first early fruit before the summer; which a man takes and puts in his mouth the minute he sees it.

bbe@Isaiah:28:6 @And a spirit of wisdom to the judge, and strength to those who keep back the attackers at the door of the town.

bbe@Isaiah:28:8 @For all the tables are covered with coughed-up food, so that there is not a clean place.

bbe@Isaiah:28:9 @To whom will he give knowledge? and to whom will he make clear the word? Will it be to those who have newly given up milk, and who have only now been taken from the breast?

bbe@Isaiah:28:10 @For it is one rule after another; one line after another; here a little, there a little.

bbe@Isaiah:28:11 @No, but with broken talk, and with a strange tongue, he will give his word to this people:

bbe@Isaiah:28:13 @For this cause the word of the Lord will be to them rule after rule, line after line, here a little, there a little; so that they may go on their way, and falling back may be broken, and taken in the net.

bbe@Isaiah:28:15 @Because you have said, We have made death our friend, and with the underworld we have made an agreement; when the overflowing waters come through they will not come near us; for we are looking to false words for help, taking cover in what is untrue:

bbe@Isaiah:28:16 @For this cause says the Lord God, See, I am placing in Zion as a base, a stone, a tested stone, an angle-stone which is certain and of great value: and he who has faith will not give way.

bbe@Isaiah:28:18 @And the help you were looking for from death will come to nothing, and your agreement with the underworld will be broken; when the overflowing waters come through, then you will be overcome by them.

bbe@Isaiah:28:20 @For the bed is not long enough for a man to be stretched out on: and the cover is not wide enough for him to be covered with.

bbe@Isaiah:28:25 @When the face of the earth has been levelled, does he not put in the different sorts of seed, and the grain in lines, and the barley in its place, and the spelt at the edge?

bbe@Isaiah:28:27 @For the fitches are not crushed with a sharp instrument, and a cart-wheel is not rolled over the cummin; but the grain of the fitches is hammered out with a stick, and of the cummin with a rod.

bbe@Isaiah:28:28 @Is the grain for bread crushed? He does not go on crushing it for ever, but he lets his cart-wheels and his horses go over it without crushing it.

bbe@Isaiah:29:4 @And you will be made low, and your voice will come out of the earth, and your words will be low out of the dust; and your voice will come out of the earth like that of a spirit, making bird-like noises out of the dust.

bbe@Isaiah:29:5 @And the army of your attackers will be like small dust, and all the cruel ones like dry stems gone before the wind; suddenly it will come about.

bbe@Isaiah:29:6 @The Lord of armies will come in with thunder and earth-shaking and great noise, with rushing wind and storm, and the flame of burning fire.

bbe@Isaiah:29:7 @And all the nations making war on Ariel, and all those who are fighting against her and shutting her in with their towers, will be like a dream, like a vision of the night.

bbe@Isaiah:29:8 @And it will be like a man desiring food, and dreaming that he is feasting; but when he is awake there is nothing in his mouth: or like a man in need of water, dreaming that he is drinking; but when he is awake he is feeble and his soul is full of desire: so will all the nations be which make war on Mount Zion.

bbe@Isaiah:29:9 @Be surprised and full of wonder; let your eyes be covered and be blind: be overcome, but not with wine; go with uncertain steps, but not because of strong drink.

bbe@Isaiah:29:10 @For the Lord has sent on you a spirit of deep sleep; and by him your eyes, the prophets, are shut, and your heads, the seers, are covered.

bbe@Isaiah:29:11 @And the vision of all this has become to you like the words of a book which is shut, which men give to one who has knowledge of writing, saying, Make clear to us what is in the book: and he says, I am not able to, for the book is shut:

bbe@Isaiah:29:12 @And they give it to one without learning, saying, Make clear to us what is in the book: and he says, I have no knowledge of writing.

bbe@Isaiah:29:13 @And the Lord said, because this people come near to me with their mouths, and give honour to me with their lips, but their heart is far from me, and their fear of me is false, a rule given them by the teaching of men;

bbe@Isaiah:29:16 @You are turning things upside down! Is the wet earth the same to you as the one who is forming it? will the thing made say of him who made it, He made me not: or the thing formed say of him who gave it form, He has no knowledge?

bbe@Isaiah:29:21 @Who give help to a man in a wrong cause, and who put a net for the feet of him who gives decisions in the public place, taking away a man's right without cause.

bbe@Isaiah:29:22 @For this reason the Lord, the saviour of Abraham, says about the family of Jacob, Jacob will not now be put to shame, or his face be clouded with fear.

bbe@Isaiah:30:1 @Ho! uncontrolled children, says the Lord, who give effect to a purpose which is not mine, and who make an agreement, but not by my spirit, increasing their sin:

bbe@Isaiah:30:2 @Who make a move to go down into Egypt, without authority from me; who are looking to the strength of Pharaoh for help, and whose hope is in the shade of Egypt.

bbe@Isaiah:30:5 @For they have all come with offerings to a people of no use to them, in whom is no help or profit, but only shame and a bad name.

bbe@Isaiah:30:6 @The word about the Beasts of the South. Through the land of trouble and grief, the land of the she-lion and the voice of the lion, of the snake and the burning winged snake, they take their wealth on the backs of young asses, and their stores on camels, to a people in whom is no profit.

bbe@Isaiah:30:8 @Now go, put it in writing before them on a board, and make a record of it in a book, so that it may be for the future, a witness for all time to come.

bbe@Isaiah:30:12 @For this cause the Holy One of Israel says, Because you will not give ear to this word, and are looking for help in ways of deceit and evil, and are putting your hope in them:

bbe@Isaiah:30:13 @This sin will be to you like a crack in a high wall, causing its fall suddenly and in a minute.

bbe@Isaiah:30:14 @And he will let it be broken as a potter's vessel is broken: it will be smashed to bits without mercy; so that there will not be a bit in which one may take fire from the fireplace, or water from the spring.

bbe@Isaiah:30:15 @For the Lord, the Holy One of Israel, said, In quiet and rest is your salvation: peace and hope are your strength: but you would not have it so.

bbe@Isaiah:30:17 @A thousand will go in fear before one; even before five you will go in flight: till you are like a pillar by itself on the top of a mountain, and like a flag on a hill.

bbe@Isaiah:30:18 @For this cause the Lord will be waiting, so that he may be kind to you; and he will be lifted up, so that he may have mercy on you; for the Lord is a God of righteousness: there is a blessing on all whose hope is in him.

bbe@Isaiah:30:19 @O people, living in Zion, at Jerusalem, your weeping will be ended; he will certainly have mercy on you at the sound of your cry; when it comes to his ear, he will give you an answer

bbe@Isaiah:30:23 @And he will give rain for your seed, so that you may put it in the earth; and you will have bread from the produce of the earth, good and more than enough for your needs: in that day the cattle will get their food in wide grass-lands.

bbe@Isaiah:30:24 @And the oxen and the young asses which are used for ploughing, will have salted grain which has been made free from the waste with fork and basket.

bbe@Isaiah:30:27 @See, the name of the Lord is coming from far, burning with his wrath, with thick smoke going up: his lips are full of passion, and his tongue is like a burning fire:

bbe@Isaiah:30:29 @You will have a song, as in the night when a holy feast is kept; and you will be glad in heart, as when they go with music of the pipe to the mountain of the Lord, the Rock of Israel.

bbe@Isaiah:30:30 @And the Lord will send out the sound of his great voice, and they will see his arm stretched out, with the heat of his wrath, and the flame of a burning fire; with a cloud-burst, and storm, and a rain of ice.

bbe@Isaiah:30:32 @And every blow of the rod of his punishment, which the Lord will send on him, will be with the sound of music: and with the waving of his sword the Lord will make war against him.

bbe@Isaiah:30:33 @For a place of fire has long been ready; yes, it has been made ready for the king; he has made it deep and wide: it is massed with fire and much wood; the breath of the Lord, like a stream of fire, puts a light to it.

bbe@Isaiah:31:1 @Cursed are those who go down to Egypt for help, and who put their faith in horses; looking to war-carriages for salvation, because of their numbers; and to horsemen, because they are very strong; but they are not looking to the Holy One of Israel, or turning their hearts to the Lord;

bbe@Isaiah:31:3 @For the Egyptians are men, and not God; and their horses are flesh, and not spirit: and when the Lord's hand is stretched out, the helper and he who is helped will come down together.

bbe@Isaiah:31:4 @For the Lord has said to me, As a lion, or a young lion, makes an angry noise over his food, and if a band of herdsmen come out against him, he will not be in fear of their voices, or give up his food for their noise: so the Lord of armies will come down to make war against Mount Zion and its hill.

bbe@Isaiah:31:5 @Like birds with outstretched wings, so will the Lord of armies be a cover to Jerusalem; he will be a cover and salvation for it, going over it he will keep it from danger.

bbe@Isaiah:32:6 @For the foolish man will say foolish things, having evil thoughts in his heart, working what is unclean, and talking falsely about the Lord, to keep food from him who is in need of it, and water from him whose soul is desiring it.

bbe@Isaiah:32:11 @Be shaking with fear, you women who are living in comfort; be troubled, you who have no fear of danger: take off your robes and put on clothing of grief.

bbe@Isaiah:32:15 @Till the spirit comes on us from on high, and the waste land becomes a fertile field, and the fertile field is changed into a wood.

bbe@Isaiah:32:16 @Then in the waste land there will be an upright rule, and righteousness will have its place in the fertile field.

bbe@Isaiah:32:19 @But the tall trees will come down with a great fall, and the town will be low in a low place.

bbe@Isaiah:33:2 @O Lord, have mercy on us; for we have been waiting for your help: be our strength every morning, our salvation in time of trouble.

bbe@Isaiah:33:7 @See, the men of war are sorrowing outside the town: those who came looking for peace are weeping bitterly.

bbe@Isaiah:33:11 @Your designs will be without profit, and their effect will be nothing: you will be burned up by the fire of my breath.

bbe@Isaiah:33:14 @The sinners in Zion are full of fear; the haters of God are shaking with wonder. Who among us may keep his place before the burning fire? who among us may see the eternal burnings?

bbe@Isaiah:33:15 @He whose ways are true, and whose words are upright; he who gives no thought to the profits of false acts, whose hands have not taken rewards, who will have no part in putting men to death, and whose eyes are shut against evil;

bbe@Isaiah:33:21 @But there the Lord will be with us in his glory,... wide rivers and streams; where no boat will go with blades, and no fair ship will be sailing.

bbe@Isaiah:33:24 @And the men of Zion will not say, I am ill: for its people will have forgiveness for their sin.

bbe@Isaiah:34:1 @Come near, you nations, and give ear; take note, you peoples: let the earth and everything in it give ear; the world and all those living in it.

bbe@Isaiah:34:2 @For the Lord is angry with all the nations, and his wrath is burning against all their armies: he has put them to the curse, he has given them to destruction.

bbe@Isaiah:34:3 @Their dead bodies will be thick on the face of the earth, and their smell will come up, and the mountains will be flowing with their blood, and all the hills will come to nothing.

bbe@Isaiah:34:4 @And the heavens will be rolled together like the roll of a book: and all their army will be gone, like a dead leaf from the vine, or a dry fruit from the fig-tree.

bbe@Isaiah:34:5 @For my sword in heaven is full of wrath: see, it is coming down on Edom, in punishment on the people of my curse.

bbe@Isaiah:34:6 @The sword of the Lord is full of blood, it is fat with the best of the meat, with the blood of lambs and goats, with the best parts of the sheep: for the Lord has a feast in Bozrah, and much cattle will be put to death in the land of Edom.

bbe@Isaiah:34:7 @And the strong oxen will go down to death together with the smaller cattle.

bbe@Isaiah:34:8 @For it is the day of the Lord's punishment, when he gives payment for the wrongs done to Zion.

bbe@Isaiah:34:9 @And its streams will be turned into boiling oil, and its dust into burning stone, and all the land will be on fire.

bbe@Isaiah:34:10 @It will not be put out day or night; its smoke will go up for ever: it will be waste from generation to generation; no one will go through it for ever.

bbe@Isaiah:34:11 @But the birds of the waste land will have their place there; it will be a heritage for the bittern and the raven: and it will be measured out with line and weight as a waste land.

bbe@Isaiah:34:13 @And thorns will come up in her fair houses, and waste plants in her strong towers: and foxes will make their holes there, and it will be a meeting-place for ostriches.

bbe@Isaiah:34:14 @And the beasts of the waste places will come together with the jackals, and the evil spirits will be crying to one another, even the night-spirit will come and make her resting-place there.

bbe@Isaiah:34:16 @See what is recorded in the book of the Lord: all these will be there, not one without the other: the mouth of the Lord has given the order, and his spirit has made them come together.

bbe@Isaiah:34:17 @And he has given them their heritage, and by his hand it has been measured out to them: it will be theirs for ever, their resting-place from generation to generation.

bbe@Isaiah:35:2 @It will be flowering like the rose; it will be full of delight and songs; the glory of Lebanon will be given to it; the pride of Carmel and Sharon: they will see the glory of the Lord, the power of our God.

bbe@Isaiah:35:8 @And a highway will be there; its name will be, The Holy Way; the unclean and the sinner may not go over it, and those who go on it will not be turned out of the way by the foolish.

bbe@Isaiah:35:10 @Even those whom he has made free, will come back again; they will come with songs to Zion; on their heads will be eternal joy; delight and joy will be theirs, and sorrow and sounds of grief will be gone for ever.

bbe@Isaiah:36:1 @And it came about in the fourteenth year of King Hezekiah that Sennacherib, king of Assyria, came up against all the walled towns of Judah and took them.

bbe@Isaiah:36:2 @And the king of Assyria sent the Rab-shakeh from Lachish to Jerusalem to King Hezekiah with a strong force, and he took up his position by the stream of the higher pool, by the highway of the washerman's

bbe@Isaiah:36:5 @You say you have a design and strength for war, but these are only words: now to whom are you looking for support, that you have gone against my authority?

bbe@Isaiah:36:6 @See, you are basing your hope on that broken rod of Egypt, which will go into a man's hand if he makes use of it for a support; for so is Pharaoh, king of Egypt, to all who put their faith in him.

bbe@Isaiah:36:7 @And if you say to me, Our hope is in the Lord our God; is it not he whose high places and altars Hezekiah has taken away, saying to Judah and Jerusalem that worship may only be given before this altar?

bbe@Isaiah:36:8 @And now, take a chance with my master, the king of Assyria, and I will give you two thousand horses, if you are able to put horsemen on them.

bbe@Isaiah:36:10 @And have I now come to send destruction on this land without the Lord's authority? It was the Lord himself who said to me, Go up against this land and make it waste.

bbe@Isaiah:36:11 @Then Eliakim and Shebna and Joah said to the Rab-shakeh, Please make use of the Aramaean language in talking to your servants, for we are used to it, and do not make use of the Jews' language in the hearing of the people on the wall.

bbe@Isaiah:36:12 @But the Rab-shakeh said, Is it to your master or to you that my master has sent me to say these words? has he not sent me to the men seated on the wall? for they are the people who will be short of food with you when the town is shut in.

bbe@Isaiah:36:13 @Then the Rab-shakeh got up and said with a loud voice in the Jews' language, Give ear to the words of the great king, the king of Assyria:

bbe@Isaiah:36:15 @And do not let Hezekiah make you put your faith in the Lord, saying, The Lord will certainly keep us safe, and this town will not be given into the hands of the king of Assyria.

bbe@Isaiah:36:16 @Do not give ear to Hezekiah, for this is what the king of Assyria says, Make peace with me, and come out to me; and everyone will be free to take the fruit of his vine and of his fig-tree, and the water of his spring;

bbe@Isaiah:36:22 @Then Eliakim, the son of Hilkiah, who was over the house, and Shebna the scribe, and Joah, the son of Asaph, the recorder, came to Hezekiah with their clothing parted as a sign of grief, and gave him an account of what the Rab-shakeh had said.

bbe@Isaiah:37:1 @And on hearing it Hezekiah took off his robe and put on haircloth and went into the house of the Lord.

bbe@Isaiah:37:4 @It may be that the Lord your God will give ear to the words of the Rab-shakeh, whom the king of Assyria, his master, has sent to say evil things against the living God, and will make his words come to nothing: so make your prayer for the rest of the people.

bbe@Isaiah:37:7 @See, I will put a spirit into him, and bad news will come to his ears, and he will go back to his land; and there I will have him put to death.

bbe@Isaiah:37:8 @So the Rab-shakeh went back, and when he got there the king of Assyria was making war against Libnah: for it had come to his ears that the king of Assyria had gone away from Lachish.

bbe@Isaiah:37:10 @This is what you are to say to Hezekiah, king of Judah: Let not your God, in whom is your faith, give you a false hope, saying, Jerusalem will not be given into the hands of the king of Assyria.

bbe@Isaiah:37:14 @And Hezekiah took the letter from the hands of those who had come with it; and after reading it, Hezekiah went up to the house of the Lord, opening the letter there before the Lord,

bbe@Isaiah:37:20 @But now, O Lord our God, give us salvation from his hand, so that it may be clear to all the kingdoms of the earth that you, and you only, are the Lord.

bbe@Isaiah:37:23 @Against whom have you said evil and bitter things? and against whom has your voice been loud and your eyes lifted up? even against the Holy One of Israel.

bbe@Isaiah:37:24 @You have sent your servants with evil words against the Lord, and have said, With all my war-carriages I have come up to the top of the mountains, to the inmost parts of Lebanon; and its tall cedars will be cut down, and the best trees of its woods: I will come up into his highest places, into his thick woods.

bbe@Isaiah:37:25 @I have made water-holes and taken their waters, and with my foot I have made all the rivers of Egypt dry.

bbe@Isaiah:37:26 @Has it not come to your ears how I did it long before, purposing it in times long past? Now I have given effect to my design, so that by you strong towns might be turned into masses of broken walls.

bbe@Isaiah:37:30 @And this will be the sign to you: you will get your food this year from what comes up of itself, and in the second year from the produce of the same; and in the third year you will put in your seed, and get in the grain, and make vine-gardens, and take of their fruit.

bbe@Isaiah:37:31 @And those of Judah who are still living will again take root in the earth, and give fruit.

bbe@Isaiah:37:33 @For this cause the Lord says about the king of Assyria, He will not come into this town, or send an arrow against it; he will not come before it with arms, or put up an earthwork against it.

bbe@Isaiah:37:38 @And it came about, when he was worshipping in the house of Nisroch his god, that his sons Adrammelech and Sharezer put him to death with the sword, and they went in flight into the land of Ararat. And Esar-haddon, his son, became king in his place.

bbe@Isaiah:38:3 @O Lord, keep in mind how I have been true to you with all my heart, and have done what is good in your eyes. And Hezekiah gave way to bitter weeping.

bbe@Isaiah:38:8 @See, I will make the shade which has gone down on the steps of Ahaz with the sun, go back ten steps. So the shade went back the ten steps by which it had gone down.

bbe@Isaiah:38:9 @The writing of Hezekiah, king of Judah, after he had been ill, and had got better from his disease.

bbe@Isaiah:38:13 @I am crying out with pain till the morning; it is as if a lion was crushing all my bones.

bbe@Isaiah:38:14 @I make cries like a bird; I give out sounds of grief like a dove: my eyes are looking up with desire; O Lord, I am crushed, take up my cause.

bbe@Isaiah:38:15 @What am I to say? seeing that it is he who has done it: all my time of sleeping I am turning from side to side without rest.

bbe@Isaiah:38:16 @O Lord, for this cause I am waiting for you, give rest to my spirit: make me well again, and let me come back to life.

bbe@Isaiah:38:17 @See, in place of peace my soul had bitter sorrow. but you have kept back my soul from the underworld; for you have put all my sins out of your memory.

bbe@Isaiah:38:21 @And Isaiah said, Let them take a cake of figs, and put it on the diseased place, and he will get well.

bbe@Isaiah:39:1 @At that time Merodach-baladan, the son of Baladan, king of Babylon, sent letters with an offering to Hezekiah, because he had news that Hezekiah had been ill, and was well again.

bbe@Isaiah:40:5 @And the glory of the Lord will be made clear, and all flesh will see it together, for the mouth of the Lord has said it.

bbe@Isaiah:40:6 @A voice of one saying, Give a cry! And I said, What is my cry to be? All flesh is grass, and all its strength like the flower of the field.

bbe@Isaiah:40:7 @The grass becomes dry, the flower is dead; because the breath of the Lord goes over it: truly the people is grass.

bbe@Isaiah:40:9 @You who give good news to Zion, get up into the high mountain; you who give good news to Jerusalem, let your voice be strong; let it be sounding without fear; say to the towns of Judah, See, your God!

bbe@Isaiah:40:10 @See, the Lord God will come as a strong one, ruling in power: see, those made free by him are with him, and those whom he has made safe go before him.

bbe@Isaiah:40:11 @He will give food to his flock like a keeper of sheep; with his arm he will get it together, and will take up the lambs on his breast, gently guiding those which are with young.

bbe@Isaiah:40:13 @By whom has the spirit of the Lord been guided, or who has been his teacher?

bbe@Isaiah:40:16 @And Lebanon is not enough to make a fire with, or all its cattle enough for a burned offering.

bbe@Isaiah:40:18 @Whom then is God like, in your opinion? or what will you put forward as a comparison with him?

bbe@Isaiah:40:19 @The workman makes an image, and the gold-worker puts gold plates over it, and makes silver bands for it.

bbe@Isaiah:40:20 @The wise workman makes selection of the mulberry-tree of the offering, a wood which will not become soft; so that the image may be fixed to it and not be moved.

bbe@Isaiah:40:21 @Have you no knowledge of it? has it not come to your ears? has not news of it been given to you from the first? has it not been clear to you from the time when the earth was placed on its base?

bbe@Isaiah:40:22 @It is he who is seated over the arch of the earth, and the people in it are as small as locusts; by him the heavens are stretched out like an arch, and made ready like a tent for a living-place.

bbe@Isaiah:40:28 @Have you no knowledge of it? has it not come to your ears? The eternal God, the Lord, the Maker of the ends of the earth, is never feeble or tired; there is no searching out of his wisdom.

bbe@Isaiah:40:31 @But those who are waiting for the Lord will have new strength; they will get wings like eagles: running, they will not be tired, and walking, they will have no weariness.

bbe@Isaiah:41:3 @He goes after them safely, not touching the road with his feet.

bbe@Isaiah:41:4 @Whose purpose and work was it? His who sent out the generations from the start. I the Lord, the first, and with the last, I am he.

bbe@Isaiah:41:5 @The sea-lands saw it, and were in fear; the ends of the earth were shaking: they came near.

bbe@Isaiah:41:7 @So the metal-worker put heart into the gold-worker, and he who was hammering the metal smooth said kind words to the iron-worker, saying of the plate, It is ready: and he put it together with nails, so that there might be no slipping.

bbe@Isaiah:41:9 @You whom I have taken from the ends of the earth, and sent for from its farthest parts, saying to you, You are my servant, whom I have taken for myself, and whom I have not given up:

bbe@Isaiah:41:10 @Have no fear, for I am with you; do not be looking about in trouble, for I am your God; I will give you strength, yes, I will be your helper; yes, my true right hand will be your support.

bbe@Isaiah:41:11 @Truly, all those who are angry with you will be made low and put to shame: those desiring to do you wrong will come to nothing and never again be seen.

bbe@Isaiah:41:15 @See, I will make you like a new grain-crushing instrument with teeth, crushing the mountains small, and making the hills like dry stems.

bbe@Isaiah:41:16 @You will send the wind over them, and it will take them away; they will go in all directions before the storm-wind: you will have joy in the Lord, and be glad in the Holy One of Israel.

bbe@Isaiah:41:17 @The poor and crushed are looking for water where no water is, and their tongue is dry for need of it: I the Lord will give ear to their prayer, I the God of Israel will not give them up.

bbe@Isaiah:41:20 @So that they may see and be wise and give their mind to it, and that it may be clear to them all that the hand of the Lord has done this, and that the Holy One of Israel has made it.

bbe@Isaiah:41:23 @Give us word of what will be after this, so that we may be certain that you are gods: yes, do good or do evil, so that we may all see it and be surprised.

bbe@Isaiah:41:26 @Who has given knowledge of it from the first, so that we may be certain of it? and from the start, so that we may say, His word is true? There is no one who gives news, or says anything, or who gives ear to your words.

bbe@Isaiah:41:27 @I was the first to give word of it to Zion, and I gave the good news to Jerusalem.

bbe@Isaiah:42:1 @See my servant, whom I am supporting, my loved one, in whom I take delight: I have put my spirit on him; he will give the knowledge of the true God to the nations.

bbe@Isaiah:42:3 @He will not let a crushed stem be quite broken, and he will not let a feebly burning light be put out: he will go on sending out the true word to the peoples.

bbe@Isaiah:42:4 @His light will not be put out, and he will not be crushed, till he has given the knowledge of the true God to the earth, and the sea-lands will be waiting for his teaching.

bbe@Isaiah:42:5 @God the Lord, even he who made the heavens, measuring them out on high; stretching out the earth, and giving its produce; he who gives breath to the people on it, and life to those who go about on it, says:

bbe@Isaiah:42:10 @Make a new song to the Lord, and let his praise be sounded from the end of the earth; you who go down to the sea, and everything in it, the sea-lands and their people.

bbe@Isaiah:42:11 @Let the waste land and its flocks be glad, the tent-circles of Kedar; let the people of the rock give a glad cry, from the top of the mountains let them make a sound of joy.

bbe@Isaiah:42:21 @It was the Lord's pleasure, because of his righteousness, to make the teaching great and give it honour.

bbe@Isaiah:42:23 @Who is there among you who will give ear to this? who will give attention to it for the time to come?

bbe@Isaiah:42:25 @For this reason he let loose on him the heat of his wrath, and his strength was like a flame; and it put fire round about him, but he did not see it; he was burned, but did not take it to heart.

bbe@Isaiah:43:2 @When you go through the waters, I will be with you; and through the rivers, they will not go over you: when you go through the fire, you will not be burned; and the flame will have no power over you.

bbe@Isaiah:43:5 @Have no fear, for I am with you: I will take your seed from the east, and get you together from the west;

bbe@Isaiah:43:9 @Let all the nations come together, and let the peoples be present: who among them is able to make this clear, and give us word of earlier things? let their witnesses come forward, so that they may be seen to be true, and that they may give ear, and say, It is true.

bbe@Isaiah:43:10 @You are my witnesses, says the Lord, and my servant whom I have taken for myself: so that you may see and have faith in me, and that it may be clear to you that I am he; before me there was no God formed, and there will not be after me.

bbe@Isaiah:43:12 @I gave the word, and made it clear, and there was no strange god among you: for this reason you are my witnesses, says the Lord.

bbe@Isaiah:43:17 @Who sends out the war-carriages and the horses, the army with all its force; they have come down, they will not get up again; like a feebly burning light they are put out.

bbe@Isaiah:43:19 @See, I am doing a new thing; now it is starting; will you not take note of it? I will even make a way in the waste land, and rivers in the dry country.

bbe@Isaiah:43:21 @Even the people whom I made to be the witnesses of my praise.

bbe@Isaiah:43:23 @You have not made me burned offerings of sheep, or given me honour with your offerings of beasts; I did not make you servants to give me an offering, and I did not make you tired with requests for perfumes.

bbe@Isaiah:43:24 @You have not got me sweet-smelling plants with your money, or given me pleasure with the fat of your offerings: but you have made me a servant to your sins, and you have made me tired with your evil doings.

bbe@Isaiah:44:3 @For I will send water on the land needing it, and streams on the dry earth: I will let my spirit come down on your seed, and my blessing on your offspring.

bbe@Isaiah:44:7 @If there is one like me, let him come forward and say it, let him make it clear and put it in order before me: who has made clear in the past the things to come? let him make clear the future to me.

bbe@Isaiah:44:8 @Have no fear, be strong in heart; have I not made it clear to you in the past, and let you see it? and you are my witnesses. Is there any God but me, or a Rock of whom I have no knowledge?

bbe@Isaiah:44:9 @Those who make a pictured image are all of them as nothing, and the things of their desire will be of no profit to them: and their servants see not, and have no knowledge; so they will be put to shame.

bbe@Isaiah:44:10 @Whoever makes a god, makes nothing but a metal image in which there is no profit.

bbe@Isaiah:44:12 @The iron-worker is heating the metal in the fire, giving it form with his hammers, and working on it with his strong arm: then for need of food his strength gives way, and for need of water he becomes feeble.

bbe@Isaiah:44:13 @The woodworker is measuring out the wood with his line, marking it out with his pencil: after smoothing it with his plane, and making circles on it with his instrument, he gives it the form and glory of a man, so that it may be placed in the house.

bbe@Isaiah:44:14 @He has cedars cut down for himself, he takes an oak and lets it get strong among the trees of the wood; he has an ash-tree planted, and the rain gives it growth.

bbe@Isaiah:44:15 @Then it will be used to make a fire, so that a man may get warm; he has the oven heated with it and makes bread: he makes a god with it, to which he gives worship: he makes a pictured image out of it, and goes down on his face before it.

bbe@Isaiah:44:16 @With part of it he makes a fire, and on the fire he gets meat cooked and takes a full meal: he makes himself warm, and says, Aha! I am warm, I have seen the fire:

bbe@Isaiah:44:17 @And the rest of it he makes into a god, even his pictured image: he goes down on his face before it, giving worship to it, and making prayer to it, saying, Be my saviour; for you are my god.

bbe@Isaiah:44:19 @And no one takes note, no one has enough knowledge or wisdom to say, I have put part of it in the fire, and made bread on it; I have had a meal of the flesh cooked with it: and am I now to make the rest of it into a false god? am I to go down on my face before a bit of wood?

bbe@Isaiah:44:23 @Make a song, O heavens, for the Lord has done it: give a loud cry, you deep parts of the earth: let your voices be loud in song, you mountains, and you woods with all your trees: for the Lord has taken up the cause of Jacob, and will let his glory be seen in Israel.

bbe@Isaiah:44:24 @The Lord, who has taken up your cause, and who gave you life in your mother's body, says, I am the Lord who makes all things; stretching out the heavens by myself, and giving the earth its limits; who was with me?

bbe@Isaiah:45:8 @Let righteousness come down, O heavens, from on high, and let the sky send it down like rain: let the earth be open to give the fruit of salvation, causing righteousness to come up with it; I the Lord have made it come about.

bbe@Isaiah:45:9 @Cursed is he who has an argument with his Maker, the pot which has an argument with the Potter! Will the wet earth say to him who is working with it, What are you doing, that your work has nothing by which it may be gripped?

bbe@Isaiah:45:10 @Cursed is he who says to a father, To what are you giving life? or to a woman, What are you in birth-pains with?

bbe@Isaiah:45:12 @I have made the earth, forming man on it: by my hands the heavens have been stretched out, and all the stars put in their ordered places.

bbe@Isaiah:45:13 @I have sent him out to overcome the nations, and I will make all his ways straight: I will give him the work of building my town, and he will let my prisoners go free, without price or reward, says the Lord of armies.

bbe@Isaiah:45:17 @But the Lord will make Israel free with an eternal salvation: you will not be put to shame or made low for ever and ever.

bbe@Isaiah:45:18 @For this is the word of the Lord who made the heavens; he is God; the maker and designer of the earth; who made it not to be a waste, but as a living-place for man: I am the Lord, and there is no other.

bbe@Isaiah:45:21 @Give the word, put forward your cause, let us have a discussion together: who has given news of this in the past? who made it clear in early times? did not I, the Lord? and there is no God but me; a true God and a saviour; there is no other.

bbe@Isaiah:45:24 @Only in the Lord will Jacob overcome and be strong: together all those who were angry with him will be put to shame and come to destruction.

bbe@Isaiah:46:5 @Who in your eyes is my equal? or what comparison will you make with me?

bbe@Isaiah:46:6 @As for those who take gold out of a bag, and put silver in the scales, they give payment to a gold-worker, to make it into a god; they go down on their faces and give it worship.

bbe@Isaiah:46:8 @Keep this in mind and be shamed; let it come back to your memory, you sinners.

bbe@Isaiah:46:11 @Sending for a bird of strong flight from the east, the man of my purpose from a far country; I have said it, and I will give effect to it; the thing designed by me will certainly be done.

bbe@Isaiah:46:12 @Give ear to me, you feeble-hearted, who have no faith in my righteousness:

bbe@Isaiah:46:13 @My righteousness is near, it is not far off; salvation will come quickly; and I will make Zion free, and give Israel my glory.

bbe@Isaiah:47:3 @The shame of your unclothed condition will be seen by all: I will give punishment without mercy,

bbe@Isaiah:47:5 @Be seated in the dark without a word, O daughter of the Chaldaeans: for you will no longer be named, The Queen of Kingdoms.

bbe@Isaiah:47:6 @I was angry with my people, I put shame on my heritage, and gave them into your hands: you had no mercy on them; you put a cruel yoke on those who were old;

bbe@Isaiah:47:8 @So now take note of this, you who are given up to pleasure, living without fear of evil, saying in your heart, I am, and there is no one like me; I will never be a widow, or have my children taken from me.

bbe@Isaiah:47:10 @For you had faith in your evil-doing; you said, No one sees me; by your wisdom and knowledge you have been turned out of the way: and you have said in your heart, I am, and there is no other.

bbe@Isaiah:47:11 @Because of this evil will come on you, which may not be turned away for any price: and trouble will overtake you, from which no money will give salvation: destruction will come on you suddenly, without your knowledge.

bbe@Isaiah:47:12 @Go on now with your secret arts, and all your wonder-working, to which you have given yourself up from your earliest days; it may be that they will be of profit to you, or by them you may put fear into your attackers.

bbe@Isaiah:47:14 @Truly, they have become like dry stems, they have been burned in the fire; they are not able to keep themselves safe from the power of the flame: it is not a coal for warming them, or a fire by which a man may be seated.

bbe@Isaiah:47:15 @Small profit have you had from those who, from your earliest days, got great profit out of you; they have gone in flight, every one straight before him, and you have no saviour.

bbe@Isaiah:48:1 @Give ear to this, O family of Jacob, you who are named by the name of Israel, and have come out of the body of Judah; who take oaths by the name of the Lord, and make use of the name of the God of Israel, but not truly and not in good faith.

bbe@Isaiah:48:2 @For they say that they are of the holy town, and put their faith in the God of Israel: the Lord of armies is his name.

bbe@Isaiah:48:5 @For this reason I made it clear to you in the past, before it came I gave you word of it: for fear that you might say, My god did these things, and my pictured and metal images made them come about.

bbe@Isaiah:48:6 @All this has come to your ears and you have seen it; will you not give witness to it? I am now making clear new things, even secret things, of which you had no knowledge.

bbe@Isaiah:48:11 @For myself, even because of my name, I will do it; for I will not let my name be shamed; and my glory I will not give to another.

bbe@Isaiah:48:13 @Yes, by my hand was the earth placed on its base, and by my right hand the heavens were stretched out; at my word they take up their places.

bbe@Isaiah:48:14 @Come together, all of you, and give ear; who among you has given news of these things? the Lord's loved one will do his pleasure with Babylon, and with the seed of the Chaldaeans.

bbe@Isaiah:48:16 @Come near to me, and give ear to this; from the start I did not keep it secret; from the time of its coming into existence I was there: and now the Lord God has sent me, and given me his spirit.

bbe@Isaiah:48:17 @The Lord who takes up your cause, the Holy One of Israel, says, I am the Lord your God, who is teaching you for your profit, guiding you by the way in which you are to go.

bbe@Isaiah:48:20 @Go out of Babylon, go in flight from the Chaldaeans; with the sound of song make it clear, give the news, let the word go out even to the end of the earth: say, The Lord has taken up the cause of his servant Jacob.

bbe@Isaiah:49:4 @And I said, I have undergone weariness for nothing, I have given my strength for no purpose or profit: but still the Lord will take up my cause, and my God will give me my reward.

bbe@Isaiah:49:6 @It is not enough for one who is my servant to put the tribes of Jacob again in their place, and to get back those of Israel who have been sent away: my purpose is to give you as a light to the nations, so that you may be my salvation to the end of the earth.

bbe@Isaiah:49:7 @The Lord who takes up Israel's cause, even his Holy One, says to him whom men make sport of, who is hated by the nations, a servant of rulers: Kings will see and get up from their places, and chiefs will give worship: because of the Lord who keeps faith; even the Holy One of Israel who has taken you for himself.

bbe@Isaiah:49:8 @This is the word of the Lord: I have given ear to you at a good time, and I have been your helper in a day of salvation: and I will keep you safe, and will make you a glory for the people, putting the land in order, and giving them the heritages which now are waste;

bbe@Isaiah:49:15 @Will a woman give up the child at her breast, will she be without pity for the fruit of her body? yes, these may, but I will not let you go out of my memory.

bbe@Isaiah:49:18 @Let your eyes be lifted up round about, and see: they are all coming together to you. By my life, says the Lord, truly you will put them all on you as an ornament, and be clothed with them like a bride.

bbe@Isaiah:49:22 @This is the word of the Lord God: See, I will make a sign with my hand to the nations, and put up my flag for the peoples; and they will take up your sons on their beasts, and your daughters on their backs.

bbe@Isaiah:49:26 @And the flesh of your attackers will be taken by themselves for food; and they will take their blood for drink, as if it was sweet wine: and all men will see that I the Lord am your saviour, even he who takes up your cause, the Strong One of Jacob.

bbe@Isaiah:50:1 @This is the word of the Lord: Where is the statement which I gave your mother when I put her away? or to which of my creditors have I given you for money? It was for your sins that you were given into the hands of others, and for your evil-doing was your mother put away.

bbe@Isaiah:50:2 @Why, then, when I came, was there no man? and no one to give answer to my voice? has my hand become feeble, so that it is unable to take up your cause? or have I no power to make you free? See, at my word the sea becomes dry, I make the rivers a waste land: their fish are dead for need of water, and make an evil smell.

bbe@Isaiah:50:3 @By me the heavens are clothed with black, and I make haircloth their robe.

bbe@Isaiah:50:8 @He who takes up my cause is near; who will go to law with me? let us come together before the judge: who is against me? let him come near to me.

bbe@Isaiah:50:10 @Who among you has the fear of the Lord, giving ear to the voice of his servant who has been walking in the dark and has no light? Let him put his faith in the name of the Lord, looking to his God for support.

bbe@Isaiah:50:11 @See, all you who make a fire, arming yourselves with burning branches: go in the flame of your fire, and among the branches you have put a light to. This will you have from my hand, you will make your bed in sorrow.

bbe@Isaiah:51:5 @Suddenly will my righteousness come near, and my salvation will be shining out like the light; the sea-lands will be waiting for me, and they will put their hope in my strong arm.

bbe@Isaiah:51:6 @Let your eyes be lifted up to the heavens, and turned to the earth which is under them: for the heavens will go in flight like smoke, and the earth will become old like a coat, and its people will come to destruction like insects: but my salvation will be for ever, and my righteousness will not come to an end.

bbe@Isaiah:51:9 @Awake! awake! put on strength, O arm of the Lord, awake! as in the old days, in the generations long past. Was it not by you that Rahab was cut in two, and the dragon Wounded?

bbe@Isaiah:51:11 @Those whom the Lord has made free will come back with songs to Zion; and on their heads will be eternal joy: delight and joy will be theirs, and sorrow and sounds of grief will be gone for ever.

bbe@Isaiah:51:13 @And you have given no thought to the Lord your Maker, by whom the heavens were stretched out, and the earth placed on its base; and you went all day in fear of the wrath of the cruel one, when he was making ready for your destruction. And where is the wrath of the cruel one?

bbe@Isaiah:51:15 @For I am the Lord your God, who makes the sea calm when its waves are thundering: the Lord of armies is his name.

bbe@Isaiah:51:16 @And I have put my words in your mouth, covering you with the shade of my hand, stretching out the heavens, and placing the earth on its base, and saying to Zion, You are my people.

bbe@Isaiah:51:21 @So now give ear to this, you who are troubled and overcome, but not with wine:

bbe@Isaiah:51:22 @This is the word of the Lord your master, even your God who takes up the cause of his people: See, I have taken out of your hand the cup which overcomes, even the cup of my wrath; it will not again be given to you:

bbe@Isaiah:51:23 @And I will put it into the hand of your cruel masters, and of those whose yoke has been hard on you; who have said to your soul, Down on your face! so that we may go over you: and you have given your backs like the earth, even like the street, for them to go over.

bbe@Isaiah:52:1 @Awake! awake! put on your strength, O Zion; put on your beautiful robes, O Jerusalem, the holy town: for from now there will never again come into you the unclean and those without circumcision.

bbe@Isaiah:52:3 @For the Lord says, You were given for nothing, and you will be made free without price.

bbe@Isaiah:52:4 @For the Lord God says, My people went down at first into Egypt, to get a place for themselves there: and the Assyrian put a cruel yoke on them without cause.

bbe@Isaiah:52:5 @Now then, what have I here? says the Lord, for my people are taken away without cause; they are made waste and give cries of sorrow, says the Lord, and all the day the nations put shame on my name.

bbe@Isaiah:52:6 @For this cause I will make my name clear to my people; in that day they will be certain that it is my word which comes to them; see, here am I.

bbe@Isaiah:52:7 @How beautiful on the mountains are the feet of him who comes with good news, who gives word of peace, saying that salvation is near; who says to Zion, Your God is ruling!

bbe@Isaiah:53:1 @Who would have had faith in the word which has come to our ears, and to whom had the arm of the Lord been unveiled?

bbe@Isaiah:53:4 @But it was our pain he took, and our diseases were put on him: while to us he seemed as one diseased, on whom God's punishment had come.

bbe@Isaiah:53:5 @But it was for our sins he was wounded, and for our evil doings he was crushed: he took the punishment by which we have peace, and by his wounds we are made well.

bbe@Isaiah:53:7 @Men were cruel to him, but he was gentle and quiet; as a lamb taken to its death, and as a sheep before those who take her wool makes no sound, so he said not a word.

bbe@Isaiah:53:9 @And they put his body into the earth with sinners, and his last resting-place was with the evil-doers, though he had done no wrong, and no deceit was in his mouth.

bbe@Isaiah:53:12 @For this cause he will have a heritage with the great, and he will have a part in the goods of war with the strong, because he gave up his life, and was numbered with the evil-doers; taking on himself the sins of the people, and making prayer for the wrongdoers.

bbe@Isaiah:54:1 @Let your voice be loud in song, O woman without children; make melody and sounds of joy, you who did not give birth: for the children of her who had no husband are more than those of the married wife, says the Lord.

bbe@Isaiah:54:2 @Make wide the place of your tent, and let the curtains of your house be stretched out without limit: make your cords long, and your tent-pins strong.

bbe@Isaiah:54:3 @For I will make wide your limits on the right hand and on the left; and your seed will take the nations for a heritage, and make the waste towns full of people.

bbe@Isaiah:54:4 @Have no fear; for you will not be shamed or without hope: you will not be put to shame, for the shame of your earlier days will go out of your memory, and you will no longer keep in mind the sorrows of your widowed years.

bbe@Isaiah:54:6 @For the Lord has made you come back to him, like a wife who has been sent away in grief of spirit; for one may not give up the wife of one's early days.

bbe@Isaiah:54:7 @For a short time I gave you up; but with great mercies I will take you back again.

bbe@Isaiah:54:8 @In overflowing wrath my face was veiled from you for a minute, but I will have pity on you for ever, says the Lord who takes up your cause.

bbe@Isaiah:54:9 @For this is like the days of Noah to me: for as I took an oath that the waters of Noah would never again go over the earth, so have I taken an oath that I will not again be angry with you, or say bitter words to you.

bbe@Isaiah:54:15 @See, they may be moved to war, but not by my authority: all those who come together to make an attack on you, will be broken against you.

bbe@Isaiah:54:17 @No instrument of war which is formed against you will be of any use; and every tongue which says evil against you will be judged false. This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord, and their righteousness comes from me, says the Lord.

bbe@Isaiah:55:1 @Ho! everyone in need, come to the waters, and he who has no strength, let him get food: come, get bread without money; wine and milk without price.

bbe@Isaiah:55:2 @Why do you give your money for what is not bread, and the fruit of your work for what will not give you pleasure? Give ear to me, so that your food may be good, and you may have the best in full measure.

bbe@Isaiah:55:3 @Give ear, and come to me, take note with care, so that your souls may have life: and I will make an eternal agreement with you, even the certain mercies of David.

bbe@Isaiah:55:4 @See, I have given him as a witness to the peoples, a ruler and a guide to the nations.

bbe@Isaiah:55:7 @Let the sinner give up his way, and the evil-doer his purpose: and let him come back to the Lord, and he will have mercy on him; and to our God, for there is full forgiveness with him.

bbe@Isaiah:55:10 @For as the rain comes down, and the snow from heaven, and does not go back again, but gives water to the earth, and makes it fertile, giving seed to the planter, and bread for food;

bbe@Isaiah:55:11 @So will my word be which goes out of my mouth: it will not come back to me with nothing done, but it will give effect to my purpose, and do that for which I have sent it.

bbe@Isaiah:55:12 @For you will go out with joy, and be guided in peace: the mountains and the hills will make melody before you, and all the trees of the fields will make sounds of joy.

bbe@Isaiah:55:13 @In place of the thorn will come up the fir-tree, and in place of the blackberry the myrtle: and it will be to the Lord for a name, for an eternal sign which will not be cut off.

bbe@Isaiah:56:4 @For the Lord says, As for the unsexed who keep my Sabbaths, and give their hearts to pleasing me, and keep their agreement with me:

bbe@Isaiah:56:6 @And as for those from a strange country, who are joined to the Lord, to give worship to him and honour to his name, to be his servants, even everyone who keeps the Sabbath holy, and keeps his agreement with me:

bbe@Isaiah:56:8 @The Lord God, who gets together the wandering ones of Israel, says, I will get together others in addition to those of Israel who have come back.

bbe@Isaiah:56:10 @His watchmen are blind, they are all without knowledge; they are all dogs without tongues, unable to make a sound; stretched out dreaming, loving sleep.

bbe@Isaiah:56:11 @Yes, the dogs are for ever looking for food; while these, the keepers of the sheep, are without wisdom: they have all gone after their pleasure, every one looking for profit; they are all the same.

bbe@Isaiah:57:1 @The upright man goes to his death, and no one gives a thought to it; and god-fearing men are taken away, and no one is troubled by it; for the upright man is taken away because of evil-doing, and goes into peace.

bbe@Isaiah:57:5 @You who are burning with evil desire among the oaks, under every green tree; putting children to death in the valleys, under the cracks of the rocks?

bbe@Isaiah:57:6 @Among the smooth stones of the valley is your heritage; they, even they, are your part: even to them have you made a drink offering and a meal offering. Is it possible for such things to be overlooked by me?

bbe@Isaiah:57:8 @And on the back of the doors and on the pillars you have put your sign: for you have been false to me with another; you have made your bed wide, and made an agreement with them; you had a desire for their bed where you saw it

bbe@Isaiah:57:9 @And you went to Melech with oil and much perfume, and you sent your representatives far off, and went as low as the underworld.

bbe@Isaiah:57:10 @You were tired with your long journeys; but you did not say, There is no hope: you got new strength, and so you were not feeble.

bbe@Isaiah:57:11 @And of whom were you in fear, so that you were false, and did not keep me in mind, or give thought to it? Have I not been quiet, keeping myself secret, and so you were not in fear of me?

bbe@Isaiah:57:12 @I will make clear what your righteousness is like and your works; you will have no profit in them.

bbe@Isaiah:57:13 @Your false gods will not keep you safe in answer to your cry; but the wind will take them, they will be gone like a breath: but he who puts his hope in me will take the land, and will have my holy mountain as his heritage.

bbe@Isaiah:57:14 @And I will say, Make it high, make it high, get ready the way, take the stones out of the way of my people.

bbe@Isaiah:57:15 @For this is the word of him who is high and lifted up, whose resting-place is eternal, whose name is Holy: my resting-place is in the high and holy place, and with him who is crushed and poor in spirit, to give life to the spirit of the poor, and to make strong the heart of the crushed.

bbe@Isaiah:57:16 @For I will not give punishment for ever, or be angry without end: for from me breath goes out; and I it was who made the souls.

bbe@Isaiah:57:17 @I was quickly angry with his evil ways, and sent punishment on him, veiling my face in wrath: and he went on, turning his heart from me.

bbe@Isaiah:57:19 @I will give the fruit of the lips: Peace, peace, to him who is near and to him who is far off, says the Lord; and I will make him well.

bbe@Isaiah:57:20 @But the evil-doers are like the troubled sea, for which there is no rest, and its waters send up earth and waste.

bbe@Isaiah:58:2 @Though they make prayer to me every day, and take pleasure in the knowledge of my ways: like a nation which has done righteousness, and has not given up the rules of their God, they make requests to me for the right orders, it is their delight to come near to God.

bbe@Isaiah:58:3 @They say, Why have we kept ourselves from food, and you do not see it? why have we kept ourselves from pleasure, and you take no note of it? If, in the days when you keep from food, you take the chance to do your business, and get in your debts;

bbe@Isaiah:58:4 @If keeping from food makes you quickly angry, ready for fighting and giving blows with evil hands; your holy days are not such as to make your voice come to my ears on high.

bbe@Isaiah:58:5 @Have I given orders for such a day as this? a day for keeping yourselves from pleasure? is it only a question of the bent head, of putting on haircloth, and being seated in the dust? is this what seems to you a holy day, well-pleasing to the Lord?

bbe@Isaiah:58:7 @Is it not to give your bread to those in need, and to let the poor who have no resting-place come into your house? to put a robe on the unclothed one when you see him, and not to keep your eyes shut for fear of seeing his flesh?

bbe@Isaiah:58:10 @And if you give your bread to those in need of it, so that the troubled one may have his desire; then you will have light in the dark, and your night will be as the full light of the sun:

bbe@Isaiah:58:13 @If you keep the Sabbath with care, not doing your business on my holy day; and if the Sabbath seems to you a delight, and the new moon of the Lord a thing to be honoured; and if you give respect to him by not doing your business, or going after your pleasure, or saying unholy words;

bbe@Isaiah:58:14 @Then the Lord will be your delight; and I will put you on the high places of the earth; and I will give you the heritage of Jacob your father: for the mouth of the Lord has said it.

bbe@Isaiah:59:3 @For your hands are unclean with blood, and your fingers with sin; your lips have said false things, and your tongue gives out deceit.

bbe@Isaiah:59:4 @No one puts forward an upright cause, or gives a true decision: their hope is in deceit, and their words are false; they are with child with sin, and give birth to evil.

bbe@Isaiah:59:10 @We go on our way, like blind men feeling for the wall, even like those who have no eyes: we are running against things in daylight as if it was evening; our place is in the dark like dead men.

bbe@Isaiah:59:11 @We make noises of grief, like bears, and sad sounds like doves: we are looking for our right, but it is not there; for salvation, but it is far from us.

bbe@Isaiah:59:12 @For our evil doings are increased before you, and our sins give witness against us: for our evil doings are with us, and we have knowledge of our sins:

bbe@Isaiah:59:13 @We have gone against the Lord, and been false to him, turning away from our God, our words have been uncontrolled, and in our hearts are thoughts of deceit.

bbe@Isaiah:59:14 @And the right is turned back, and righteousness is far away: for good faith is not to be seen in the public places, and upright behaviour may not come into the town.

bbe@Isaiah:59:15 @Yes, faith is gone; and he whose heart is turned from evil comes into the power of the cruel: and the Lord saw it, and he was angry that there was no one to take up their cause.

bbe@Isaiah:59:21 @And as for me, this is my agreement with them, says the Lord: my spirit which is on you, and my words which I have put in your mouth, will not go away from your mouth, or from the mouth of your seed, or from the mouth of your seed's seed, says the Lord, from now and for ever.

bbe@Isaiah:60:4 @Let your eyes be lifted up, and see: they are all coming together to you: your sons will come from far, and your daughters taken with loving care.

bbe@Isaiah:60:5 @Then you will see, and be bright with joy, and your heart will be shaking with increase of delight: for the produce of the sea will be turned to you, the wealth of the nations will come to you.

bbe@Isaiah:60:6 @You will be full of camel-trains, even the young camels of Midian and Ephah; all from Sheba will come, with gold and spices, giving word of the great acts of the Lord.

bbe@Isaiah:60:9 @Vessels of the sea-lands are waiting for me, and the ships of Tarshish first, so that your sons may come from far, and their silver and gold with them, to the place of the name of the Lord your God, and to the Holy One of Israel, because he has made you beautiful.

bbe@Isaiah:60:11 @Your doors will be open at all times; they will not be shut day or night; so that men may come into you with the wealth of the nations, with their kings at their head.

bbe@Isaiah:60:14 @And the sons of those who were cruel to you will come before you with bent heads; and those who made sport of you will go down on their faces at your feet; and you will be named, The Town of the Lord, The Zion of the Holy One of Israel.

bbe@Isaiah:60:18 @Violent acts will no longer be seen in your land, wasting or destruction in your limits; but your walls will be named, Salvation, and your doors Praise.

bbe@Isaiah:60:21 @Your people will all be upright, the land will be their heritage for ever; the branch of my planting, the work of my hands, to be for my glory.

bbe@Isaiah:60:22 @The smallest of their families will become a thousand, and a small one a strong nation: I, the Lord, will make it come quickly in its time.

bbe@Isaiah:61:1 @The spirit of the Lord is on me, because I am marked out by him to give good news to the poor; he has sent me to make the broken-hearted well, to say that the prisoners will be made free, and that those in chains will see the light again;

bbe@Isaiah:61:5 @And men from strange countries will be your herdsmen, and those who are not Israelites will be your ploughmen and vine-keepers.

bbe@Isaiah:61:6 @But you will be named the priests of the Lord, the servants of our God: you will have the wealth of the nations for your food, and you will be clothed with their glory.

bbe@Isaiah:61:7 @As they had twice as much grief, and marks of shame were their heritage, so in their land they will be rewarded twice over, and will have eternal joy.

bbe@Isaiah:61:8 @For I, the Lord, take pleasure in upright judging; I will not put up with the violent taking away of right; and I will certainly give them their reward, and I will make an eternal agreement with them.

bbe@Isaiah:61:9 @And their seed will be noted among the nations, and their offspring among the peoples: it will be clear to all who see them that they are the seed to which the Lord has given his blessing.

bbe@Isaiah:61:10 @I will be full of joy in the Lord, my soul will be glad in my God; for he has put on me the clothing of salvation, covering me with the robe of righteousness, as the husband puts on a fair head-dress, and the bride makes herself beautiful with jewels.

bbe@Isaiah:61:11 @For as the earth puts out buds, and as the garden gives growth to the seeds which are planted in it, so the Lord will make righteousness and praise to be flowering before all the nations.

bbe@Isaiah:62:9 @But those who have got in the grain will have it for their food, and will give praise to the Lord; and those who have got in the grapes will take the wine of them in the open places of my holy house.

bbe@Isaiah:62:11 @The Lord has sent out word to the end of the earth, Say to the daughter of Zion, See, your saviour comes; those whom he has made free are with him, and those to whom he has given salvation go before him.

bbe@Isaiah:63:1 @Who is this who comes from Edom, with blood-red robes from Bozrah? he whose clothing is fair, stepping with pride in his great strength? I whose glory is in the right, strong for salvation.

bbe@Isaiah:63:3 @I have been crushing the grapes by myself, and of the peoples there was no man with me: in my wrath and in my passion, they were crushed under my feet; and my robes are marked with their life-blood, and all my clothing is red.

bbe@Isaiah:63:9 @It was no sent one or angel, but he himself who was their saviour: in his love and in his pity he took up their cause, and he took them in his arms, caring for them all through the years.

bbe@Isaiah:63:10 @But they went against him, causing grief to his holy spirit: so he was turned against them, and made war on them.

bbe@Isaiah:63:11 @Then the early days came to their minds, the days of Moses his servant: and they said, Where is he who made the keeper of his flock come up from the sea? where is he who put his holy spirit among them,

bbe@Isaiah:63:14 @Like the cattle which go down into the valley, they went without falling, the spirit of the Lord guiding them: so you went before your people, to make yourself a great name.

bbe@Isaiah:63:15 @Let your eyes be looking down from heaven, from your holy and beautiful house: where is your deep feeling, the working of your power? do not keep back the moving of your pity and your mercies:

bbe@Isaiah:63:17 @O Lord, why do you send us wandering from your ways, making our hearts hard, so that we have no fear of you? Come back, because of your servants, the tribes of your heritage.

bbe@Isaiah:63:18 @Why have evil men gone over your holy place, so that it has been crushed under the feet of our haters?

bbe@Isaiah:64:4 @The ear has not had news of, or the eye seen,... any God but you, working for the man who is waiting for him.

bbe@Isaiah:64:11 @Our holy and beautiful house, where our fathers gave praise to you, is burned with fire; and all the things of our desire have come to destruction.

bbe@Isaiah:65:6 @See, it is recorded before me, says the Lord: I will not keep back my hand, till I have sent punishment,

bbe@Isaiah:65:8 @This is the word of the Lord: As the new wine is seen in the grapes, and they say, Do not send destruction on it, for a blessing is in it: so will I do for my servants, in order that I may not put an end to them all.

bbe@Isaiah:65:9 @And I will take a seed out of Jacob, and out of Judah one who will have my mountains for a heritage: and the people I have taken to be mine will have it for themselves, and my servants will have their resting-place there.

bbe@Isaiah:65:14 @My servants will make songs in the joy of their hearts, but you will be crying for sorrow, and making sounds of grief from a broken spirit.

bbe@Isaiah:65:21 @And they will be building houses and living in them; planting vine-gardens and getting the fruit of them.

bbe@Isaiah:65:22 @They will no longer be building for the use of others, or planting for others to have the fruit: for the days of my people will be like the days of a tree, and my loved ones will have joy in full measure in the work of their hands.

bbe@Isaiah:65:23 @Their work will not be for nothing, and they will not give birth to children for destruction; for they are a seed to whom the Lord has given his blessing, and their offspring will be with them.

bbe@Isaiah:66:2 @For all these things my hand has made, and they are mine, says the Lord; but to this man only will I give attention, to him who is poor and broken in spirit, fearing my word.

bbe@Isaiah:66:9 @Will I by whom the birth was started, not make it complete? says the Lord. Will I who make children come to birth, let them be kept back? says your God.

bbe@Isaiah:66:10 @Have joy with Jerusalem, and be glad with her, all you her lovers: take part in her joy, all you who are sorrowing for her:

bbe@Isaiah:66:11 @So that you may take of the comfort flowing from her breasts, and be delighted with the full measure of her glory.

bbe@Isaiah:66:14 @And you will see it and your heart will be glad, and your bones will get new strength, like young grass: and the hand of the Lord will be seen at work for his servants, and his wrath against his haters.

bbe@Isaiah:66:15 @For the Lord is coming with fire, and his war-carriages will be like the storm-wind; to give punishment in the heat of his wrath, and his passion is like flames of fire.

bbe@Isaiah:66:16 @For with fire and sword will the Lord come, judging all the earth, and his sword will be on all flesh: and great numbers will be put to death by him.

bbe@Isaiah:66:21 @And some of them will I take for priests and Levites, says the Lord.

bbe@Isaiah:66:23 @And it will be, that from new moon to new moon, and from Sabbath to Sabbath, all flesh will come to give worship before me, says the Lord.

bbe@Jeremiah:1:3 @And it came again in the days of Jehoiakim, the son of Josiah, king of Judah, up to the eleventh year of Zedekiah, the son of Josiah, king of Judah; till Jerusalem was taken away in the fifth month.

bbe@Jeremiah:1:8 @Have no fear because of them: for I am with you, to keep you safe, says the Lord.

bbe@Jeremiah:1:12 @Then the Lord said to me, You have seen well: for I keep watch over my word to give effect to it.

bbe@Jeremiah:1:13 @And the word of the Lord came to me a second time, saying, What do you see? And I said, I see a boiling pot, and its face is from the north.

bbe@Jeremiah:1:15 @For see, I will send for all the families of the kingdoms of the north, says the Lord; and they will come, everyone placing his high seat at the way into Jerusalem, and against its walls on every side, and against all the towns of Judah.

bbe@Jeremiah:1:18 @For see, this day have I made you a walled town, and an iron pillar, and walls of brass, against all the land, against the kings of Judah, against its captains, against its priests, and against the people of the land.

bbe@Jeremiah:1:19 @They will be fighting against you, but they will not overcome you: for I am with you, says the Lord, to give you salvation.

bbe@Jeremiah:2:3 @Israel was holy to the Lord, the first-fruits of his increase: all who made attacks on him were judged as wrongdoers, evil came on them, says the Lord.

bbe@Jeremiah:2:7 @And I took you into a fertile land, where you were living on its fruit and its wealth; but when you came in, you made my land unclean, and made my heritage a disgusting thing.

bbe@Jeremiah:2:8 @The priests did not say, Where is the Lord? and those who were expert in the law had no knowledge of me: and the rulers did evil against me, and the prophets became prophets of the Baal, going after things without value.

bbe@Jeremiah:2:10 @For go over to the sea-lands of Kittim and see; send to Kedar and give deep thought to it; and see if there has ever been such a thing.

bbe@Jeremiah:2:11 @Has any nation ever made a change in their gods, though they are no gods? but my people have given up their glory in exchange for what is of no profit.

bbe@Jeremiah:2:12 @Be full of wonder, O heavens, at this; be overcome with fear, be completely waste, says the Lord.

bbe@Jeremiah:2:15 @The young lions have made an outcry against him with a loud voice: they have made his land waste; his towns are burned up, with no one living in them.

bbe@Jeremiah:2:19 @The evil you yourselves have done will be your punishment, your errors will be your judge: be certain then, and see that it is an evil and a bitter thing to give up the Lord your God, and no longer to be moved by fear of me, says the Lord, the Lord of armies.

bbe@Jeremiah:2:22 @For even if you are washed with soda and take much soap, still your evil-doing is marked before me, says the Lord God.

bbe@Jeremiah:2:25 @Do not let your foot be without shoes, or your throat dry from need of water: but you said, There is no hope: no, for I have been a lover of strange gods, and after them I will go.

bbe@Jeremiah:2:32 @Is it possible for a virgin to put out of her memory her ornaments, or a bride her robes? but my people have put me out of their memories for unnumbered days.

bbe@Jeremiah:2:33 @With what care are your ways ordered when you are looking for love! so... your ways.

bbe@Jeremiah:2:37 @Truly, you will go out from him with your hands on your head: for the Lord has given up those in whom you have put your faith, and they will be of no help to you.

bbe@Jeremiah:3:1 @They say, If a man puts away his wife and she goes from him and becomes another man's, will he go back to her again? will not that land have been made unclean? but though you have been acting like a loose woman with a number of lovers, will you now come back to me? says the Lord.

bbe@Jeremiah:3:2 @Let your eyes be lifted up to the open hilltops, and see; where have you not been taken by your lovers? You have been seated waiting for them by the wayside like an Arabian in the waste land; you have made the land unclean with your loose ways and your evil-doing.

bbe@Jeremiah:3:7 @And I said, After she has done all these things she will come back to me; but she did not. And her false sister Judah saw it.

bbe@Jeremiah:3:8 @And though she saw that, because Israel, turning away from me, had been untrue to me, I had put her away and given her a statement in writing ending the relation between us, still Judah, her false sister, had no fear, but went and did the same.

bbe@Jeremiah:3:10 @But for all this, her false sister Judah has not come back to me with all her heart, but with deceit, says the Lord

bbe@Jeremiah:3:13 @Only be conscious of your sin, the evil you have done against the Lord your God; you have gone with strange men under every branching tree, giving no attention to my voice, says the Lord.

bbe@Jeremiah:3:15 @And I will give you keepers, pleasing to my heart, who will give you your food with knowledge and wisdom.

bbe@Jeremiah:3:16 @And it will come about, when your numbers are increased in the land, in those days, says the Lord, that they will no longer say, The ark of the agreement of the Lord: it will not come into their minds, they will not have any memory of it, or be conscious of the loss of it, and it will not be made again.

bbe@Jeremiah:3:17 @At that time Jerusalem will be named the seat of the Lord's kingdom; and all the nations will come together to it, to the name of the Lord, to Jerusalem: and no longer will their steps be guided by the purposes of their evil hearts.

bbe@Jeremiah:3:18 @In those days the family of Judah will go with the family of Israel, and they will come together out of the land of the north into the land which I gave for a heritage to your fathers.

bbe@Jeremiah:3:19 @But I said, How am I to put you among the children, and give you a desired land, a heritage of glory among the armies of the nations? and I said, You are to say to me, My father; and not be turned away from me.

bbe@Jeremiah:3:25 @Let us be stretched on the earth in our downfall, covering ourselves with our shame: for we have been sinners against the Lord our God, we and our fathers, from our earliest years even till this day: and we have not given ear to the voice of the Lord our God.

bbe@Jeremiah:4:2 @And you will take your oath, By the living Lord, in good faith and wisdom and righteousness; and the nations will make use of you as a blessing, and in you will they take a pride.

bbe@Jeremiah:4:4 @Undergo a circumcision of the heart, you men of Judah and people of Jerusalem: or my wrath may come out like fire, burning so that no one is able to put it out, because of the evil of your doings.

bbe@Jeremiah:4:5 @Say openly in Judah, give it out in Jerusalem, and say, Let the horn be sounded in the land: crying out in a loud voice, Come together, and let us go into the walled towns.

bbe@Jeremiah:4:6 @Put up a flag for a sign to Zion: go in flight so that you may be safe, waiting no longer: for I will send evil from the north, and a great destruction.

bbe@Jeremiah:4:7 @A lion has gone up from his secret place in the woods, and one who makes waste the nations is on his way; he has gone out from his place, to make your land unpeopled, so that your towns will be made waste, with no man living in them.

bbe@Jeremiah:4:8 @For this put on haircloth, with weeping and loud crying: for the burning wrath of the Lord is not turned back from us.

bbe@Jeremiah:4:9 @And it will come about in that day, says the Lord, that the heart of the king will be dead in him, and the hearts of the rulers; and the priests will be overcome with fear, and the prophets with wonder.

bbe@Jeremiah:4:11 @At that time it will be said to this people and to Jerusalem, A burning wind from the open hilltops in the waste land is blowing on the daughter of my people, not for separating or cleaning the grain;

bbe@Jeremiah:4:18 @Your ways and your doings have made these things come on you; this is your sin; truly it is bitter, going deep into your heart.

bbe@Jeremiah:4:22 @For my people are foolish, they have no knowledge of me; they are evil-minded children, without sense, all of them: they are wise in evil-doing, but have no knowledge of doing good.

bbe@Jeremiah:4:23 @Looking at the earth, I saw that it was waste and without form; and to the heavens, that they had no light.

bbe@Jeremiah:4:26 @Looking, I saw that the fertile field was a waste, and all its towns were broken down before the Lord and before his burning wrath.

bbe@Jeremiah:4:28 @The earth will be weeping for this, and the heavens on high will be black: because I have said it, and I will not go back from it; it is my purpose, and it will not be changed.

bbe@Jeremiah:4:30 @And you, when you are made waste, what will you do? Though you are clothed in red, though you make yourself beautiful with ornaments of gold, though you make your eyes wide with paint, it is for nothing that you make yourself fair; your lovers have no more desire for you, they have designs on your life.

bbe@Jeremiah:5:1 @Go quickly through the streets of Jerusalem, and see now, and get knowledge, and make a search in her wide places if there is a man, if there is one in her who is upright, who keeps faith; and she will have my forgiveness.

bbe@Jeremiah:5:3 @O Lord, do not your eyes see good faith? you have given them punishment, but they were not troubled; you have sent destruction on them, but they did not take your teaching to heart: they have made their faces harder than a rock; they would not come back.

bbe@Jeremiah:5:5 @I will go to the great men and have talk with them; for they have knowledge of the way of the Lord and of the behaviour desired by their God. But as for these, their one purpose is a broken yoke and burst bands.

bbe@Jeremiah:5:7 @How is it possible for you to have my forgiveness for this? your children have given me up, taking their oaths by those who are no gods: when I had given them food in full measure, they were false to their wives, taking their pleasure in the houses of loose women.

bbe@Jeremiah:5:12 @They would have nothing to do with the Lord, saying, He will do nothing, and no evil will come to us; we will not see the sword or be short of food:

bbe@Jeremiah:5:13 @And the prophets will become wind, and the word is not in them; so it will be done to them.

bbe@Jeremiah:5:14 @For this reason the Lord, the God of armies, has said: Because you have said this, I will make my words in your mouth a fire, and this people wood, and they will be burned up by it.

bbe@Jeremiah:5:17 @They will take all the produce of your fields, which would have been food for your sons and your daughters: they will take your flocks and your herds: they will take all your vines and your fig-trees: and with the sword they will make waste your walled towns in which you put your faith.

bbe@Jeremiah:5:19 @And it will come about, when you say, Why has the Lord our God done all these things to us? that you will say to them, As you gave me up, making yourselves servants to strange gods in your land, so will you be servants to strange men in a land which is not yours.

bbe@Jeremiah:5:20 @Say this openly in Jacob and give it out in Judah, saying,

bbe@Jeremiah:5:21 @Give ear now to this, O foolish people without sense; who have eyes but see nothing, and ears without the power of hearing:

bbe@Jeremiah:5:22 @Have you no fear of me? says the Lord; will you not be shaking with fear before me, who have put the sand as a limit for the sea, by an eternal order, so that it may not go past it? and though it is ever in motion, it is not able to have its way; though the sound of its waves is loud, they are not able to go past it.

bbe@Jeremiah:5:26 @For there are sinners among my people: they keep watch, like men watching for birds; they put a net and take men in it.

bbe@Jeremiah:5:27 @As the fowl-house is full of birds, so are their houses full of deceit: for this reason they have become great and have got wealth.

bbe@Jeremiah:5:28 @They have become fat and strong: they have gone far in works of evil: they give no support to the cause of the child without a father, so that they may do well; they do not see that the poor man gets his rights.

bbe@Jeremiah:5:31 @The prophets give false words and the priests give decisions by their direction; and my people are glad to have it so: and what will you do in the end?

bbe@Jeremiah:6:3 @Keepers of sheep with their flocks will come to her; they will put up their tents round her; everyone will get food in his place.

bbe@Jeremiah:6:7 @As the spring keeps its waters cold, so she keeps her evil in her: the sound of cruel and violent behaviour is in her; before me at all times are disease and wounds.

bbe@Jeremiah:6:10 @To whom am I to give word, witnessing so that they may take note? see, their ears are stopped, and they are not able to give attention: see, the word of the Lord has been a cause of shame to them, they have no delight in it.

bbe@Jeremiah:6:11 @For this reason I am full of the wrath of the Lord, I am tired of keeping it in: may it be let loose on the children in the street, and on the band of the young men together: for even the husband with his wife will be taken, the old man with him who is full of days.

bbe@Jeremiah:6:13 @For from the least of them even to the greatest, everyone is given up to getting money; from the prophet even to the priest, everyone is working deceit.

bbe@Jeremiah:6:14 @And they have made little of the wounds of my people, saying, Peace, peace; when there is no peace

bbe@Jeremiah:6:15 @Let them be put to shame because they have done disgusting things. They had no shame, they were not able to become red with shame: so they will come down with those who are falling: when my punishment comes on them, they will be made low, says the Lord.

bbe@Jeremiah:6:16 @This is what the Lord has said: Take your place looking out on the ways; make search for the old roads, saying, Where is the good way? and go in it that you may have rest for your souls. But they said, We will not go in it.

bbe@Jeremiah:6:19 @Give ear, O earth: see, I will make evil come on this people, even the fruit of their thoughts, because they have not given attention to my words, and they would have nothing to do with my law.

bbe@Jeremiah:6:24 @The news of it has come to our ears; our hands have become feeble: trouble has come on us and pain, like the pain of a woman in childbirth.

bbe@Jeremiah:6:26 @O daughter of my people, put on haircloth, rolling yourself in the dust: give yourself to sorrow, as for an only son, with most bitter cries of grief; for he who makes waste will come on us suddenly.

bbe@Jeremiah:6:27 @I have made you a tester among my people, so that you may have knowledge of their way and put it to the test.

bbe@Jeremiah:6:28 @All of them are turned away, going about with false stories; they are brass and iron: they are all workers of deceit.

bbe@Jeremiah:7:4 @Put no faith in false words, saying, The Temple of the Lord, the Temple of the Lord, the Temple of the Lord, are these.

bbe@Jeremiah:7:6 @If you are not cruel to the man from a strange country, and to the child without a father, and to the widow, and do not put the upright to death in this place, or go after other gods, causing damage to yourselves:

bbe@Jeremiah:7:8 @See, you put your faith in false words which are of no profit.

bbe@Jeremiah:7:11 @Has this house, which is named by my name, become a hole of thieves to you? Truly I, even I, have seen it, says the Lord.

bbe@Jeremiah:7:12 @But go now to my place which was in Shiloh, where I put my name at first, and see what I did to it because of the evil-doing of my people Israel.

bbe@Jeremiah:7:14 @For this reason I will do to the house which is named by my name, and in which you have put your faith, and to the place which I gave to you and to your fathers, as I have done to Shiloh.

bbe@Jeremiah:7:20 @So this is what the Lord God has said: See, my wrath and my passion will be let loose on this place, on man and beast, and on the trees of the field, and on the produce of the earth; it will be burning and will not be put out.

bbe@Jeremiah:7:21 @These are the words of the Lord of armies, the God of Israel: Put your burned offerings with your offerings of beasts, and take flesh for your food.

bbe@Jeremiah:7:28 @And you are to say to them, This is the nation which has not given ear to the voice of their God, or taken his teaching to heart: good faith is dead and is cut off from their mouths.

bbe@Jeremiah:7:29 @Let your hair be cut off, O Jerusalem, and let it go, and let a song of grief go up on the open hilltops; for the Lord is turned away from the generation of his wrath and has given them up.

bbe@Jeremiah:7:30 @For the children of Judah have done what is evil in my eyes, says the Lord: they have put their disgusting images in the house which is named by my name, making it unclean.

bbe@Jeremiah:7:32 @For this cause, the days are coming, says the Lord, when it will no longer be named Topheth, or, The valley of the son of Hinnom, but, The valley of Death: for they will put the dead into the earth in Topheth till there is no more room.

bbe@Jeremiah:8:5 @Why do these people of Jerusalem go back, for ever turning away? they will not give up their deceit, they will not come back.

bbe@Jeremiah:8:8 @How is it that you say, We are wise and the law of the Lord is with us? But see, the false pen of the scribes has made it false.

bbe@Jeremiah:8:9 @The wise men are shamed, they are overcome with fear and taken: see, they have given up the word of the Lord; and what use is their wisdom to them?

bbe@Jeremiah:8:11 @And they have made little of the wounds of the daughter of Zion, saying, Peace, peace; when there is no peace.

bbe@Jeremiah:8:12 @Let them be put to shame because they have done disgusting things. They had no shame, they were not able to become red with shame: so they will come down with those who are falling: in the time of their punishment they will be made low, says the Lord.

bbe@Jeremiah:8:14 @Why are we seated doing nothing? come together, and let us go to the walled towns, and let destruction overtake us there, for the Lord our God has sent destruction on us, and given us bitter water for our drink, because we have done evil against the Lord.

bbe@Jeremiah:8:16 @The loud breathing of the horses comes to our ears from Dan: at the sound of the outcry of his war-horses, all the land is shaking with fear; for they have come, and have made a meal of the land and everything in it; the town and the people living in it.

bbe@Jeremiah:8:19 @The voice of the cry of the daughter of my people comes from a far land: Is the Lord not in Zion? is not her King in her? Why have they made me angry with their images and their strange gods which are no gods?

bbe@Jeremiah:8:21 @For the destruction of the daughter of my people I am broken: I am dressed in the clothing of grief; fear has taken me in its grip.

bbe@Jeremiah:9:3 @Their tongues are bent like a bow to send out false words: they have become strong in the land, but not for good faith: they go on from evil to evil, and they have no knowledge of me, says the Lord.

bbe@Jeremiah:9:4 @Let everyone keep watch on his neighbour, and put no faith in any brother: for every brother will certainly be tricking his brother, and every neighbour will go about saying evil.

bbe@Jeremiah:9:5 @Everyone will make sport of his neighbour with deceit, not saying what is true: their tongues have been trained to say false words; they are twisted, hating to come back.

bbe@Jeremiah:9:6 @There is wrong on wrong, deceit on deceit; they have given up the knowledge of me, says the Lord.

bbe@Jeremiah:9:8 @His tongue is an arrow causing death; the words of his mouth are deceit: he says words of peace to his neighbour, but in his heart he is waiting secretly for him.

bbe@Jeremiah:9:11 @And I will make Jerusalem a mass of broken stones, the living-place of jackals; and I will make the towns of Judah a waste, with no man living there.

bbe@Jeremiah:9:12 @Who is the wise man able to see this? who is he to whom the word of the Lord has come, so that he may make it clear? why is the land given to destruction and burned up like a waste place, so that no one goes through?

bbe@Jeremiah:9:13 @And the Lord said, Because they have given up my law which I put before them, giving no attention to my voice and not being guided by it;

bbe@Jeremiah:9:15 @So the Lord of armies, the God of Israel, has said, I will give them, even this people, bitter plants for food and bitter water for drink.

bbe@Jeremiah:9:18 @Let them quickly make cries of sorrow for us, so that drops may be flowing from our eyes till they are streaming with water.

bbe@Jeremiah:9:19 @For a sound of weeping goes up from Zion, a cry, How has destruction come on us? we are overcome with shame because we have gone away from our land; he has sent us out from our house.

bbe@Jeremiah:9:21 @For death has come up into our windows, forcing its way into our great houses; cutting off the children in the streets and the young men in the wide places.

bbe@Jeremiah:9:24 @But if any man has pride, let it be in this, that he has the wisdom to have knowledge of me, that I am the Lord, working mercy, giving true decisions, and doing righteousness in the earth: for in these things I have delight, says the Lord.

bbe@Jeremiah:9:26 @On Egypt and on Judah and on Edom and on the children of Ammon and on Moab and on all who have the ends of their hair cut, who are living in the waste land: for all these nations and all the people of Israel are without circumcision in their hearts.

bbe@Jeremiah:10:3 @For that which is feared by the people is foolish: it is the work of the hands of the workman; for a tree is cut down by him out of the woods with his axe.

bbe@Jeremiah:10:4 @They make it beautiful with silver and gold; they make it strong with nails and hammers, so that it may not be moved.

bbe@Jeremiah:10:5 @It is like a pillar in a garden of plants, and has no voice: it has to be lifted, for it has no power of walking. Have no fear of it; for it has no power of doing evil and it is not able to do any good.

bbe@Jeremiah:10:7 @Who would not have fear of you, O King of the nations? for it is your right: for among all the wise men of the nations, and in all their kingdoms, there is no one like you.

bbe@Jeremiah:10:10 @But the Lord is the true God; he is the living God and an eternal king: when he is angry, the earth is shaking with fear, and the nations give way before his wrath.

bbe@Jeremiah:10:12 @He has made the earth by his power, he has made the world strong in its place by his wisdom, and by his wise design the heavens have been stretched out.

bbe@Jeremiah:10:14 @Then every man becomes like a beast without knowledge; every gold-worker is put to shame by the image he has made: for his metal image is deceit, and there is no breath in them.

bbe@Jeremiah:10:16 @The heritage of Jacob is not like these; for the maker of all things is his heritage: the Lord of armies is his name.

bbe@Jeremiah:10:18 @For the Lord has said, I will send the people in flight like a stone from the land at this time, troubling them so that they will be conscious of it.

bbe@Jeremiah:10:19 @Sorrow is mine for I am wounded! my wound may not be made well; and I said, Cruel is my disease, I may not be free from it.

bbe@Jeremiah:10:22 @News is going about, see, it is coming, a great shaking is coming from the north country, so that the towns of Judah may be made waste and become the living-place of jackals.

bbe@Jeremiah:10:24 @O Lord, put me right, but with wise purpose; not in your wrath, or you will make me small.

bbe@Jeremiah:11:5 @So that I may give effect to the oath which I made to your fathers, to give them a land flowing with milk and honey as at this day. And I said in answer, So be it, O Lord.

bbe@Jeremiah:11:7 @For I gave certain witness to your fathers on the day when I took them up out of the land of Egypt, and even to this day, getting up early and witnessing and saying, Give ear to my voice.

bbe@Jeremiah:11:10 @They are turned back to the sins of their fathers, who would not give ear to my words; they have gone after other gods and become their servants: the people of Israel and the people of Judah have not kept the agreement which I made with their fathers.

bbe@Jeremiah:11:15 @About Judah. What have you to do in my house? is it your thought that oaths and holy flesh will get you out of your trouble? will you make yourself safe in this way?

bbe@Jeremiah:11:16 @You had been named by the Lord, A branching olive-tree, fair with beautiful fruit: with the noise of a great rushing he has put it on fire and its branches are broken.

bbe@Jeremiah:11:18 @And the Lord gave me knowledge of it and I saw it: then you made clear to me their doings.

bbe@Jeremiah:12:1 @You are in the right, O Lord, when I put my cause before you: still let me take up with you the question of your decisions: why does the evil-doer do well? why are the workers of deceit living in comfort?

bbe@Jeremiah:12:2 @They have been planted by you, they have taken root; they go on and give fruit: you are near in their mouths but far from their thoughts.

bbe@Jeremiah:12:3 @But you, O Lord, have knowledge of me; you see me, searching and testing how my heart is with you: let them be pulled out like sheep to be put to death, make them ready for the day of death.

bbe@Jeremiah:12:4 @How long will the land have grief, and the plants of all the land be dry? because of the sins of the people living in it, destruction has overtaken the beasts and the birds; because they said, God does not see our ways.

bbe@Jeremiah:12:5 @If running with the fighting-men has made you tired, how will you be able to keep up with horses? and if in a land of peace you go in flight, what will become of you in the thick growth of Jordan?

bbe@Jeremiah:12:6 @For even your brothers, your father's family, even they have been untrue to you, crying loudly after you: have no faith in them, though they say fair words to you.

bbe@Jeremiah:12:7 @I have given up my house, I have let my heritage go; I have given the loved one of my soul into the hands of her haters.

bbe@Jeremiah:12:8 @My heritage has become like a lion in the woodland to me; her voice has been loud against me; so I have hate for her.

bbe@Jeremiah:12:9 @My heritage is like a brightly coloured bird to me; the cruel birds are attacking her on every side: go, get together all the beasts of the field, make them come for destruction.

bbe@Jeremiah:12:10 @The keepers of sheep have been the destruction of my vine-garden, crushing my heritage under their feet; they have made my fair heritage an unplanted waste;

bbe@Jeremiah:12:11 @They have made it waste; it is weeping to me, being wasted; all the land is made waste, because no man takes it to heart.

bbe@Jeremiah:12:13 @Though good grain was planted, they have got in thorns: they have given themselves pain without profit: they will be shamed on account of their produce, because of the burning wrath of the Lord

bbe@Jeremiah:12:14 @This is what the Lord has said against all my evil neighbours, who put their hands on the heritage which I gave my people Israel: See, I will have them uprooted from their land, uprooting the people of Judah from among them.

bbe@Jeremiah:12:15 @And it will come about that, after they have been uprooted, I will again have pity on them; and I will take them back, every man to his heritage and every man to his land.

bbe@Jeremiah:12:16 @And it will be that, if they give their minds to learning the ways of my people, using my name in their oaths, By the living Lord; as they have been teaching my people to take oaths by the Baal; then their place will be made certain among my people.

bbe@Jeremiah:13:1 @This is what the Lord said to me: Go and get yourself a linen band and put it round you and do not put it in water.

bbe@Jeremiah:13:2 @So, as the Lord said, I got a band for a price and put it round my body.

bbe@Jeremiah:13:4 @Take the band which you got for a price, which is round your body, and go to Parah and put it in a secret place there in a hole of the rock.

bbe@Jeremiah:13:5 @So I went and put it in a secret place by Parah, as the Lord had said to me.

bbe@Jeremiah:13:7 @So I went to Parah and, uncovering the hole, took the band from the place where I had put it away: and the band was damaged and of no use for anything.

bbe@Jeremiah:13:11 @For as a band goes tightly round a man's body, so I made all the people of Israel and all the people of Judah tightly united to me; so that they might be a people for me and a name and a praise and a glory: but they would not give ear.

bbe@Jeremiah:13:12 @So you are to say this word to them: This is the word of the Lord, the God of Israel: Every skin bottle will be full of wine; and they will say to you, Is it not quite clear to us that every skin bottle will be full of wine?

bbe@Jeremiah:13:13 @Then you are to say to them, The Lord has said, I will make all the people of this land, even the kings seated on David's seat, and the priests and the prophets and all the people of Jerusalem, overcome with strong drink.

bbe@Jeremiah:13:14 @I will have them smashed against one another, fathers and sons together, says the Lord: I will have no pity or mercy, I will have no feeling for them to keep me from giving them to destruction.

bbe@Jeremiah:13:16 @Give glory to the Lord your God, before he makes it dark, and before your feet are slipping on the dark mountains, and, while you are looking for a light, he makes it into deep dark, into black night.

bbe@Jeremiah:13:17 @But if you do not give ear to it, my soul will be weeping in secret for your pride; my eye will be weeping bitterly, streaming with water, because the Lord's flock has been taken away as prisoners.

bbe@Jeremiah:13:23 @Is it possible for the skin of the Ethiopian to be changed, or the markings on the leopard? Then it might be possible for you to do good, who have been trained to do evil.

bbe@Jeremiah:13:25 @This is your fate, the part measured out to you by me, says the Lord, because you have put me out of your memory and put your faith in what is false.

bbe@Jeremiah:14:2 @Judah is weeping and its doors are dark with sorrow, and people are seated on the earth clothed in black; and the cry of Jerusalem has gone up.

bbe@Jeremiah:14:3 @Their great men have sent their servants for water: they come to the holes and there is no water to be seen; they come back with nothing in their vessels; they are overcome with shame and fear, covering their heads.

bbe@Jeremiah:14:7 @Though our sins give witness against us, do something, O Lord, for the honour of your name: for again and again we have been turned away from you, we have done evil against you.

bbe@Jeremiah:14:8 @O you hope of Israel, its saviour in time of trouble, why are you like one who is strange in the land, and like a traveller putting up his tent for a night?

bbe@Jeremiah:14:9 @Why are you like a man surprised, like a man of war who is not able to give help? but you, O Lord, are with us, and we are named by your name; do not go away from us.

bbe@Jeremiah:14:12 @When they go without food, I will not give ear to their cry; when they give burned offerings and meal offerings, I will not take pleasure in them: but I will put an end to them by the sword and by need of food and by disease.

bbe@Jeremiah:14:14 @Then the Lord said to me, The prophets say false words in my name, and I gave them no orders, and I said nothing to them: what they say to you is a false vision and wonder-working words without substance, the deceit of their hearts.

bbe@Jeremiah:14:17 @And you are to say this word to them, Let my eyes be streaming with water night and day, and let it not be stopped; for the virgin daughter of my people is wounded with a great wound, with a very bitter blow

bbe@Jeremiah:14:21 @Do not be turned from us in disgust, because of your name; do not put shame on the seat of your glory: keep us in mind, let not your agreement with us be broken.

bbe@Jeremiah:14:22 @Are any of the false gods of the nations able to make rain come? are the heavens able to give showers? are you not he, O Lord our God? so we will go on waiting for you, for you have done all these things.

bbe@Jeremiah:15:2 @And it will be, when they say to you, Where are we to go? then you are to say to them, The Lord has said, Such as are for death, to death; and such as are for the sword, to the sword; and such as are to be in need of food, to need of food; and such as are to be taken away prisoners, to be taken away.

bbe@Jeremiah:15:5 @For who will have pity on you, O Jerusalem? and who will have sorrow for you? or who will go out of his way to see how you are?

bbe@Jeremiah:15:9 @The mother of seven is without strength; her spirit is gone from her, her sun has gone down while it is still day: she has been shamed and overcome: and the rest of them I will give up to the sword before their haters, says the Lord.

bbe@Jeremiah:15:10 @Sorrow is mine, my mother, because you have given birth to me, a cause of fighting and argument in all the earth! I have not made men my creditors and I am not in debt to any, but every one of them is cursing me.

bbe@Jeremiah:15:12 @Is it possible for iron to be broken; even iron from the north, and brass?

bbe@Jeremiah:15:13 @I will give your wealth and your stores to your attackers, without a price, because of all your sins, even in every part of your land.

bbe@Jeremiah:15:14 @They will go away with your haters into a land which is strange to you: for my wrath is on fire with a flame which will be burning on you.

bbe@Jeremiah:15:15 @O Lord, you have knowledge: keep me in mind and come to my help, and give their right reward to those who are attacking me; take me not away, for you are slow to be angry: see how I have undergone shame because of you from all those who make little of your word;

bbe@Jeremiah:15:18 @Why is my pain unending and my wound without hope of being made well? Sorrow is mine, for you are to me as a stream offering false hope and as waters which are not certain.

bbe@Jeremiah:15:20 @And I will make you a strong wall of brass to this people; they will be fighting against you, but they will not overcome you: for I am with you to keep you safe, says the Lord.

bbe@Jeremiah:16:5 @For this is what the Lord has said: Do not go into the house of sorrow, do not go to make weeping or songs of grief for them: for I have taken away my peace from this people, says the Lord, even mercy and pity.

bbe@Jeremiah:16:8 @And you are not to go into the house of feasting, or be seated with them to take food or drink.

bbe@Jeremiah:16:10 @And it will be, that when you say all these words to the people, then they will say to you, Why has the Lord done all this evil against us? what is our wrongdoing and what is our sin which we have done against the Lord our God?

bbe@Jeremiah:16:14 @For this cause, see, the days are coming, says the Lord, when it will no longer be said, By the living Lord, who took the children of Israel up out of the land of Egypt.

bbe@Jeremiah:16:18 @And I will give them the reward of their evil-doing and their sin twice over; because they have made my land unclean, and have made my heritage full of the bodies of their unholy and disgusting things.

bbe@Jeremiah:16:19 @O Lord, my strength and my strong tower, my safe place in the day of trouble, the nations will come to you from the ends of the earth, and say, The heritage of our fathers is nothing but deceit, even false things in which there is no profit.

bbe@Jeremiah:17:1 @The sin of Judah is recorded with a pen of iron, and with the sharp point of a jewel it is cut on their hearts of stone, and on the horns of their altars for a sign to them:

bbe@Jeremiah:17:3 @I will give your wealth and all your stores to be taken away in war without a price, because of your sins in every part of your land.

bbe@Jeremiah:17:4 @And your hand will have to let go your heritage which I gave you; and I will make you a servant to your haters in a land which is strange to you: for you have put my wrath on fire with a flame which will go on burning for ever.

bbe@Jeremiah:17:5 @This is what the Lord has said: Cursed is the man who puts his faith in man, and makes flesh his arm, and whose heart is turned away from the Lord.

bbe@Jeremiah:17:7 @A blessing is on the man who puts his faith in the Lord, and whose hope the Lord is.

bbe@Jeremiah:17:8 @For he will be like a tree planted by the waters, pushing out its roots by the stream; he will have no fear when the heat comes, but his leaf will be green; in a dry year he will have no care, and will go on giving fruit.

bbe@Jeremiah:17:9 @The heart is a twisted thing, not to be searched out by man: who is able to have knowledge of it?

bbe@Jeremiah:17:10 @I the Lord am the searcher of the heart, the tester of the thoughts, so that I may give to every man the reward of his ways, in keeping with the fruit of his doings.

bbe@Jeremiah:17:11 @Like the partridge, getting eggs together but not producing young, is a man who gets wealth but not by right; before half his days are ended, it will go from him, and at his end he will be foolish.

bbe@Jeremiah:17:15 @See, they say to me, Where is the word of the Lord? let it come now.

bbe@Jeremiah:17:16 @As for me, I have not said; Let the day of trouble come to them quickly; and I have not been hoping for the death-giving day; you have knowledge of what came from my lips; it was open before you.

bbe@Jeremiah:17:18 @Let them be put to shame who are attacking me, but let me not be shamed; let them be overcome with fear, but let me not be overcome: send on them the day of evil, and put them to destruction twice over.

bbe@Jeremiah:17:21 @This is what the Lord has said: See to yourselves, that you take up no weight on the Sabbath day, or take it in through the doors of Jerusalem;

bbe@Jeremiah:17:24 @And it will be, that if with all care you give ear to me, says the Lord, and take no weight through the doorways of this town on the Sabbath day, but keep the Sabbath day holy and do no work in it;

bbe@Jeremiah:17:25 @Then through the doors of this town there will come kings and princes, seated on the seat of David, going in carriages and on horseback, they and their princes, and the men of Judah and the people of Jerusalem: and this town will keep its place for ever.

bbe@Jeremiah:17:26 @And they will come from the towns of Judah, and from the places round about Jerusalem, and from the land of Benjamin, and from the lowlands, and from the mountains, and from the South, with burned offerings and offerings of beasts and meal offerings and perfume and offerings of praise, to the house of the Lord.

bbe@Jeremiah:17:27 @But if you do not give ear to me, to keep the Sabbath day holy, and to let no weight be lifted and taken through the doors of Jerusalem on the Sabbath day: then I will put a fire in its doorways, burning up the great houses of Jerusalem, and it will never be put out.

bbe@Jeremiah:18:4 @And when the vessel, which he was forming out of earth, got damaged in the hand of the potter, he made it again into another vessel, as it seemed good to the potter to make it.

bbe@Jeremiah:18:6 @O Israel, am I not able to do with you as this potter does? says the Lord. See, like earth in the potter's hand are you in my hands, O Israel.

bbe@Jeremiah:18:7 @Whenever I say anything about uprooting a nation or a kingdom, and smashing it and sending destruction on it;

bbe@Jeremiah:18:8 @If, in that very minute, that nation of which I was talking is turned away from its evil, my purpose of doing evil to them will be changed.

bbe@Jeremiah:18:9 @And whenever I say anything about building up a nation or a kingdom, and planting it;

bbe@Jeremiah:18:10 @If, in that very minute, it does evil in my eyes, going against my orders, then my good purpose, which I said I would do for them, will be changed

bbe@Jeremiah:18:14 @Will the white snow go away from the top of Sirion? will the cold waters flowing from the mountains become dry?

bbe@Jeremiah:18:16 @Making their land a thing of wonder, causing sounds of surprise for ever; everyone who goes by will be overcome with wonder, shaking his head.

bbe@Jeremiah:18:18 @Then they said, Come, let us make a design against Jeremiah; for teaching will never be cut off from the priest, or wisdom from the wise, or the word from the prophet. Come, let us make use of his words for an attack on him, and let us give attention with care to what he says.

bbe@Jeremiah:18:21 @For this cause, let their children be without food, and give them over to the power of the sword; and let their wives be without children and become widows; let their men be overtaken by death, and their young men be put to the sword in the fight.

bbe@Jeremiah:18:23 @But you, Lord, have knowledge of all the designs which they have made against my life; let not their evil-doing be covered or their sin be washed away from before your eyes: but let it be a cause of falling before you: so do to them in the time of your wrath.

bbe@Jeremiah:19:1 @This is what the Lord has said: Go and get for money a potter's bottle made of earth, and take with you some of the responsible men of the people and of the priests;

bbe@Jeremiah:19:3 @Say, Give ear to the word of the Lord, O kings of Judah and people of Jerusalem; the Lord of armies, the God of Israel, has said, See, I will send evil on this place which will be bitter to the ears of anyone hearing of it.

bbe@Jeremiah:19:4 @Because they have given me up, and made this place a strange place, burning perfumes in it to other gods, of whom they and their fathers and the kings of Judah had no knowledge; and they have made this place full of the blood of those who have done no wrong;

bbe@Jeremiah:19:5 @And they have put up the high places of the Baal, burning their sons in the fire; a thing which was not ordered by me, and it was never in my mind:

bbe@Jeremiah:19:8 @And I will make this town a thing of wonder and a cause of surprise; everyone who goes by will be overcome with wonder and make sounds of surprise, because of all its troubles.

bbe@Jeremiah:19:9 @I will make them take the flesh of their sons and the flesh of their daughters for food, they will be making a meal of one another, because of their bitter need and the cruel grip of their haters and those who have made designs against their life.

bbe@Jeremiah:19:10 @Then let the potter's bottle be broken before the eyes of the men who have gone with you,

bbe@Jeremiah:19:12 @This is what I will do to this place, says the Lord, and to its people, making this town like Topheth:

bbe@Jeremiah:20:1 @Now it came to the ears of Pashhur, the son of Immer the priest, who was chief in authority in the house of the Lord, that Jeremiah was saying these things;

bbe@Jeremiah:20:4 @For the Lord has said, See, I will make you a cause of fear to yourself and to all your friends: they will come to their death by the sword of their haters, and your eyes will see it: and I will give all Judah into the hands of the king of Babylon, and he will take them away prisoners into Babylon and put them to the sword.

bbe@Jeremiah:20:5 @And more than this, I will give all the wealth of this town and all its profits and all its things of value, even all the stores of the kings of Judah will I give into the hands of their haters, who will put violent hands on them and take them away to Babylon.

bbe@Jeremiah:20:8 @For every word I say is a cry for help; I say with a loud voice, Violent behaviour and wasting: because the word of the Lord is made a shame to me and a cause of laughing all the day.

bbe@Jeremiah:20:9 @And if I say, I will not keep him in mind, I will not say another word in his name; then it is in my heart like a burning fire shut up in my bones, and I am tired of keeping myself in, I am not able to do it.

bbe@Jeremiah:20:10 @For numbers of them say evil secretly in my hearing (there is fear on every side): they say, Come, let us give witness against him; all my nearest friends, who are watching for my fall, say, It may be that he will be taken by deceit, and we will get the better of him and give him punishment.

bbe@Jeremiah:20:11 @But the Lord is with me as a great one, greatly to be feared: so my attackers will have a fall, and they will not overcome me: they will be greatly shamed, because they have not done wisely, even with an unending shame, kept in memory for ever.

bbe@Jeremiah:20:16 @May that man be like the towns overturned by the Lord without mercy: let a cry for help come to his ears in the morning, and the sound of war in the middle of the day;

bbe@Jeremiah:20:17 @Because he did not put me to death before my birth took place: so my mother's body would have been my last resting-place, and she would have been with child for ever.

bbe@Jeremiah:20:18 @Why did I come from my mother's body to see pain and sorrow, so that my days might be wasted with shame?

bbe@Jeremiah:21:2 @Will you get directions from the Lord for us; for Nebuchadrezzar, king of Babylon, is making war against us; it may be that the Lord will do something for us like all the wonders he has done, and make him go away from us.

bbe@Jeremiah:21:4 @The Lord God of Israel has said, See, I am turning back the instruments of war in your hands, with which you are fighting against the king of Babylon and the Chaldaeans, who are outside the walls and shutting you in; and I will get them together inside this town.

bbe@Jeremiah:21:5 @And I myself will be fighting against you with an outstretched hand and with a strong arm, even with angry feeling and passion and in great wrath.

bbe@Jeremiah:21:7 @And after that, says the Lord, I will give up Zedekiah, king of Judah, and his servants and his people, even those in the town who have not come to their end from the disease and the sword and from need of food, into the hands of Nebuchadrezzar, king of Babylon, and into the hands of their haters, and into the hands of those desiring their death: he will put them to the sword; he will not let anyone get away, he will have no pity or mercy.

bbe@Jeremiah:21:10 @For my face is turned to this town for evil and not for good, says the Lord: it will be given into the hands of the king of Babylon, and he will have it burned with fire.

bbe@Jeremiah:21:12 @O family of David, this is what the Lord has said: Do what is right in the morning, and make free from the hands of the cruel one him whose goods have been violently taken away, or my wrath will go out like fire, burning so that no one may put it out, because of the evil of your doings.

bbe@Jeremiah:21:14 @I will send punishment on you in keeping with the fruit of your doings, says the Lord: and I will put a fire in her woodlands, burning up everything round about her

bbe@Jeremiah:22:3 @This is what the Lord has said: Do what is right, judging uprightly, and make free from the hands of the cruel one him whose goods have been violently taken away: do no wrong and be not violent to the man from a strange country and the child without a father and the widow, and let not those who have done no wrong be put to death in this place.

bbe@Jeremiah:22:6 @For this is what the Lord has said about the family of the king of Judah: You are Gilead to me, and the top of Lebanon: but, truly, I will make you waste, with towns unpeopled.

bbe@Jeremiah:22:10 @Let there be no weeping for the dead, and make no songs of grief for him: but make bitter weeping for him who has gone away, for he will never come back or see again the country of his birth.

bbe@Jeremiah:22:13 @A curse is on him who is building his house by wrongdoing, and his rooms by doing what is not right; who makes use of his neighbour without payment, and gives him nothing for his work;

bbe@Jeremiah:22:14 @Who says, I will make a wide house for myself, and rooms of great size, and has windows cut out, and has it roofed with cedar and painted with bright red.

bbe@Jeremiah:22:15 @Are you to be a king because you make more use of cedar than your father? did not your father take food and drink and do right, judging in righteousness, and then it was well for him?

bbe@Jeremiah:22:16 @He was judge in the cause of the poor and those in need; then it was well

bbe@Jeremiah:22:17 @But your eyes and your heart are fixed only on profit for yourself, on causing the death of him who has done no wrong, and on violent and cruel acts.

bbe@Jeremiah:22:23 @O you who are living in Lebanon, making your living-place in the cedars, how greatly to be pitied will you be when pains come on you, as on a woman in childbirth!

bbe@Jeremiah:23:4 @And I will put over them keepers who will take care of them: never again will they be overcome with fear or be troubled, and there will not be the loss of one of them, says the Lord.

bbe@Jeremiah:23:6 @In his days Judah will have salvation and Israel will be living without fear: and this is the name by which he will be named, The Lord is our righteousness.

bbe@Jeremiah:23:13 @And I have seen ways without sense in the prophets of Samaria; they became prophets of the Baal, causing my people Israel to go wrong.

bbe@Jeremiah:23:14 @And in the prophets of Jerusalem I have seen a shocking thing; they are untrue to their wives, walking in deceit, and they make strong the hands of evil-doers, so that a man may not be turned back from his evil-doing: they have all become like Sodom to me, and its people like Gomorrah.

bbe@Jeremiah:23:15 @So this is what the Lord of armies has said about the prophets: See, I will give them a bitter plant for their food, and bitter water for their drink: for from the prophets of Jerusalem unclean behaviour has gone out into all the land.

bbe@Jeremiah:23:16 @This is what the Lord of armies has said: Do not give ear to the words which the prophets say to you: they give you teaching of no value: it is from themselves that their vision comes, and not out of the mouth of the Lord.

bbe@Jeremiah:23:18 @For which of them has knowledge of the secret of the Lord, and has seen him, and given ear to his word? which of them has taken note of his word and given attention to it?

bbe@Jeremiah:23:24 @In what secret place may a man take cover without my seeing him? says the Lord. Is there any place in heaven or earth where I am not? says the Lord.

bbe@Jeremiah:23:26 @Is (my word) in the hearts of the prophets who give out false words, even the prophets of the deceit of their hearts?

bbe@Jeremiah:23:28 @If a prophet has a dream, let him give out his dream; and he who has my word, let him give out my word in good faith. What has the dry stem to do with the grain? says the Lord.

bbe@Jeremiah:23:29 @Is not my word like fire? says the Lord; and like a hammer, smashing the rock to bits?

bbe@Jeremiah:23:32 @See, I am against the prophets of false dreams, says the Lord, who give them out and make my people go out of the way by their deceit and their uncontrolled words: but I did not send them or give them orders; and they will be of no profit to this people, says the Lord.

bbe@Jeremiah:23:33 @And if this people, or the prophet, or a priest, questioning you, says, What word of weight is there from the Lord? then you are to say to them, You are the word, for I will not be troubled with you any more, says the Lord.

bbe@Jeremiah:23:40 @And I will give you a name without honour for ever, and unending shame which will never go from the memory of men.

bbe@Jeremiah:24:7 @And I will give them a heart to have knowledge of me, that I am the Lord: and they will be my people, and I will be their God: for they will come back to me with all their heart.

bbe@Jeremiah:25:3 @From the thirteenth year of Josiah, the son of Amon, king of Judah, even till this day, for twenty-three years, the word of the Lord has been coming to me, and I have given it to you, getting up early and talking to you; but you have not given ear.

bbe@Jeremiah:25:6 @Do not go after other gods to be their servants and to give them worship, and do not make me angry with the work of your hands, causing evil to yourselves.

bbe@Jeremiah:25:7 @But you have not given ear to me, says the Lord; so that you have made me angry with the work of your hands, causing evil to yourselves.

bbe@Jeremiah:25:9 @See, I will send and take all the families of the north, says the Lord, and Nebuchadrezzar, king of Babylon, my servant, and make them come against this land, and against its people, and against all these nations on every side; and I will give them up to complete destruction, and make them a cause of fear and surprise and a waste place for ever

bbe@Jeremiah:25:12 @And it will come about, after seventy years are ended, that I will send punishment on the king of Babylon, and on that nation, says the Lord, for their evil-doing, and on the land of the Chaldaeans; and I will make it a waste for ever.

bbe@Jeremiah:25:13 @And I will make that land undergo everything I have said against it, even everything recorded in this book, which Jeremiah the prophet has said against all the nations.

bbe@Jeremiah:25:15 @For this is what the Lord, the God of Israel, has said to me: Take the cup of the wine of this wrath from my hand, and make all the nations to whom I send you take of it.

bbe@Jeremiah:25:16 @And after drinking it, they will go rolling from side to side, and be off their heads, because of the sword which I will send among them.

bbe@Jeremiah:25:17 @Then I took the cup from the Lord's hand, and gave a drink from it to all the nations to whom the Lord sent me;

bbe@Jeremiah:25:18 @Jerusalem and the towns of Judah and their kings and their princes, to make them a waste place, a cause of fear and surprise and a curse, as it is this day;

bbe@Jeremiah:25:26 @And all the kings of the north, far and near, one with another; and all the kingdoms of the world on the face of the earth.

bbe@Jeremiah:25:27 @And you are to say to them, This is what the Lord of armies, the God of Israel, has said: Take of this cup and be overcome, and let it come out again from your lips, and from your fall you will never be lifted up again, because of the sword which I will send among you.

bbe@Jeremiah:25:28 @And it will be, if they will not take of the cup in your hand, then you are to say to them, This is what the Lord of armies has said: You will certainly take of it.

bbe@Jeremiah:25:29 @For see, I am starting to send evil on the town which is named by my name, and are you to be without any punishment? You will not be without punishment: for I will send a sword on all people living on the earth, says the Lord of armies.

bbe@Jeremiah:25:36 @A sound of the cry of the keepers of sheep, and the bitter crying of the chiefs of the flock! for the Lord has made waste their green fields.

bbe@Jeremiah:26:3 @It may be that they will give ear, and that every man will be turned from his evil way, so that my purpose of sending evil on them because of the evil of their doings may be changed.

bbe@Jeremiah:26:9 @Why have you said in the name of the Lord, This house will be like Shiloh, and this land a waste with no one living in it? And all the people had come together to Jeremiah in the house of the Lord.

bbe@Jeremiah:26:14 @As for me, here I am in your hands: do with me whatever seems good and right in your opinion.

bbe@Jeremiah:26:15 @Only be certain that, if you put me to death, you will make yourselves and your town and its people responsible for the blood of one who has done no wrong: for truly, the Lord has sent me to you to say all these words in your ears.

bbe@Jeremiah:26:16 @Then the rulers and all the people said to the priests and the prophets, It is not right for this man to be put to death: for he has said words to us in the name of the Lord our God.

bbe@Jeremiah:26:18 @Micah the Morashtite, who was a prophet in the days of Hezekiah, king of Judah, said to all the people of Judah, This is what the Lord of armies has said: Zion will become like a ploughed field, and Jerusalem will become a mass of broken walls, and the mountain of the house like the high places of the woodland.

bbe@Jeremiah:26:21 @And when his words came to the ears of Jehoiakim the king and all his men of war and his captains, the king would have put him to death; but Uriah, hearing of it, was full of fear and went in flight into Egypt:

bbe@Jeremiah:26:22 @And Jehoiakim the king sent Elnathan, the son of Achbor, and certain men with him, into Egypt.

bbe@Jeremiah:26:23 @And they took Uriah out of Egypt and came back with him to Jehoiakim the king; who put him to death with the sword, and had his dead body put into the resting-place of the bodies of the common people.

bbe@Jeremiah:27:5 @I have made the earth, and man and beast on the face of the earth, by my great power and by my outstretched arm; and I will give it to anyone at my pleasure.

bbe@Jeremiah:27:7 @And all the nations will be servants to him and to his son and to his son's son, till the time comes for his land to be overcome: and then a number of nations and great kings will take it for their use.

bbe@Jeremiah:27:8 @And it will come about, that if any nation does not become a servant to this same Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon, and does not put its neck under the yoke of the king of Babylon, then I will send punishment on that nation, says the Lord, by the sword and need of food and by disease, till I have given them into his hands.

bbe@Jeremiah:27:11 @But as for that nation which puts its neck under the yoke of the king of Babylon and becomes his servant, I will let that nation keep on in its land, farming it and living in it, says the Lord.

bbe@Jeremiah:27:16 @And I said to the priests and to all the people, This is what the Lord has said: Give no attention to the words of your prophets who say to you, See, in a very little time now the vessels of the Lord's house will come back again from Babylon: for what they say to you is false.

bbe@Jeremiah:27:18 @But if they are prophets, and if the word of the Lord is with them, let them now make request to the Lord of armies that the vessels which are still in the house of the Lord and in the house of the king of Judah and at Jerusalem, may not go to Babylon.

bbe@Jeremiah:27:20 @Which Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon, did not take away, when he took Jeconiah, the son of Jehoiakim, king of Judah, a prisoner from Jerusalem to Babylon, with all the great men of Judah and Jerusalem;

bbe@Jeremiah:28:1 @And it came about in that year, when Zedekiah first became king of Judah, in the fourth year, in the fifth month, that Hananiah, the son of Azzur the prophet, who came from Gibeon, said to Jeremiah in the house of the Lord, before the priests and all the people,

bbe@Jeremiah:28:4 @And I will let Jeconiah, the son of Jehoiakim, king of Judah, come back to this place, with all the prisoners of Judah who went to Babylon, says the Lord: for I will have the yoke of the king of Babylon broken.

bbe@Jeremiah:28:6 @The prophet Jeremiah said, So be it: may the Lord do so: may the Lord give effect to the words which you have said, and let the vessels of the Lord's house, and all the people who have been taken away, come back from Babylon to this place.

bbe@Jeremiah:28:10 @Then Hananiah the prophet took the yoke from the neck of the prophet Jeremiah and it was broken by his hands.

bbe@Jeremiah:28:14 @For the Lord of armies, the God of Israel, has said: I have put a yoke of iron on the necks of all these nations, making them servants to Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon; and they are to be his servants: and in addition I have given him the beasts of the field.

bbe@Jeremiah:28:15 @Then the prophet Jeremiah said to Hananiah the prophet, Give ear, now, Hananiah; the Lord has not sent you; but you are making this people put their faith in what is false

bbe@Jeremiah:29:5 @Go on building houses and living in them, and planting gardens and using the fruit of them;

bbe@Jeremiah:29:7 @And be working for the peace of the land to which I have had you taken away prisoners, and make prayer to the Lord for it: for in its peace you will have peace.

bbe@Jeremiah:29:10 @For this is what the Lord has said: When seventy years are ended for Babylon, I will have pity on you and give effect to my good purpose for you, causing you to come back to this place.

bbe@Jeremiah:29:13 @And you will be searching for me and I will be there, when you have gone after me with all your heart.

bbe@Jeremiah:29:16 @For this is what the Lord has said about the king who is seated on the seat of David's kingdom, and about all the people living in this town, your countrymen who have not gone out with you as prisoners;

bbe@Jeremiah:29:18 @I will go after them, attacking them with the sword and with need of food and with disease, and will make them a cause of fear to all the kingdoms of the earth, to be a curse and a wonder and a surprise and a name of shame among all the nations where I have sent them:

bbe@Jeremiah:29:23 @Because they have done shame in Israel, and have taken their neighbours' wives, and in my name have said false words, which I did not give them orders to say; and I myself am the witness, says the Lord.

bbe@Jeremiah:29:24 @About Shemaiah the Nehelamite.

bbe@Jeremiah:29:25 @Shemaiah the Nehelamite sent a letter in his name to Zephaniah, the son of Maaseiah the priest, saying,

bbe@Jeremiah:29:28 @For he has sent to us in Babylon saying, The time will be long: go on building houses and living in them, and planting gardens and using the fruit of them.

bbe@Jeremiah:29:29 @And Zephaniah the priest made clear to Jeremiah the prophet what was said in the letter, reading it to him.

bbe@Jeremiah:29:31 @Send to all those who have been taken away, saying, This is what the Lord has said about Shemaiah the Nehelamite: Because Shemaiah has been acting as a prophet to you, and I did not send him, and has made you put your faith in what is false;

bbe@Jeremiah:30:3 @For see, the days are coming, says the Lord, when I will let the fate of my people Israel and Judah be changed, says the Lord: and I will make them come back to the land which I gave to their fathers, so that they may take it for their heritage.

bbe@Jeremiah:30:6 @Put the question and see if it is possible for a man to have birth-pains: why do I see every man with his hands gripping his sides, as a woman does when the pains of birth are on her, and all faces are turned green?

bbe@Jeremiah:30:7 @Ha! for that day is so great that there is no day like it: it is the time of Jacob's trouble: but he will get salvation from it.

bbe@Jeremiah:30:8 @For it will come about on that day, says the Lord of armies, that his yoke will be broken off his neck, and his bands will be burst; and men of strange lands will no longer make use of him as their servant:

bbe@Jeremiah:30:11 @For I am with you, says the Lord, to be your saviour: for I will put an end to all the nations where I have sent you wandering, but I will not put an end to you completely: though with wise purpose I will put right your errors, and will not let you go quite without punishment.

bbe@Jeremiah:30:12 @For the Lord has said, Your disease may not be made well and your wound is bitter.

bbe@Jeremiah:30:17 @For I will make you healthy again and I will make you well from your wounds, says the Lord; because they have given you the name of an outlaw, saying, It is Zion cared for by no man.

bbe@Jeremiah:30:18 @The Lord has said, See, I am changing the fate of the tents of Jacob, and I will have pity on his houses; the town will be put up on its hill, and the great houses will be living-places again.

bbe@Jeremiah:30:20 @And their children will be as they were in the old days, and the meeting of the people will have its place before me, and I will send punishment on all who are cruel to them.

bbe@Jeremiah:31:3 @From far away he saw the Lord: my love for you is an eternal love: so with mercy I have made you come with me.

bbe@Jeremiah:31:5 @Again will your vine-gardens be planted on the hill of Samaria: the planters will be planting and using the fruit.

bbe@Jeremiah:31:8 @See, I will take them from the north country, and get them from the inmost parts of the earth, and with them the blind and the feeble-footed, the woman with child and her who is in birth-pains together: a very great army, they will come back here.

bbe@Jeremiah:31:9 @They will come with weeping, and going before them I will be their guide: guiding them by streams of water in a straight way where there is no falling: for I am a father to Israel, and Ephraim is the first of my sons.

bbe@Jeremiah:31:10 @Give ear to the word of the Lord, O you nations, and give news of it in the sea-lands far away, and say, He who has sent Israel wandering will get him together and will keep him as a keeper does his flock.

bbe@Jeremiah:31:12 @So they will come with songs on the high places, flowing together to the good things of the Lord, to the grain and the wine and the oil, to the young ones of the flock and of the herd: their souls will be like a watered garden, and they will have no more sorrow.

bbe@Jeremiah:31:15 @So has the Lord said: In Ramah there is a sound of crying, weeping and bitter sorrow; Rachel weeping for her children; she will not be comforted for their loss.

bbe@Jeremiah:31:18 @Certainly Ephraim's words of grief have come to my ears, You have given me training and I have undergone it like a young cow unused to the yoke: let me be turned and come back, for you are the Lord my God.

bbe@Jeremiah:31:19 @Truly, after I had been turned, I had regret for my ways; and after I had got knowledge, I made signs of sorrow: I was put to shame, truly, I was covered with shame, because I had to undergo the shame of my early years.

bbe@Jeremiah:31:23 @So the Lord of armies, the God of Israel, has said, Again will these words be used in the land of Judah and in its towns, when I have let their fate be changed: May the blessing of the Lord be on you, O resting-place of righteousness, O holy mountain.

bbe@Jeremiah:31:24 @And Judah and all its towns will be living there together; the farmers and those who go about with flocks.

bbe@Jeremiah:31:27 @See, the days are coming, says the Lord, when I will have Israel and Judah planted with the seed of man and with the seed of beast.

bbe@Jeremiah:31:28 @And it will come about that, as I have been watching over them for the purpose of uprooting and smashing down and overturning and sending destruction and causing trouble; so I will be watching over them for the purpose of building up and planting, says the Lord.

bbe@Jeremiah:31:29 @In those days they will no longer say, The fathers have been tasting bitter grapes and the children's teeth are put on edge.

bbe@Jeremiah:31:30 @But everyone will be put to death for the evil which he himself has done: whoever has taken bitter grapes will himself have his teeth put on edge.

bbe@Jeremiah:31:31 @See, the days are coming, says the Lord, when I will make a new agreement with the people of Israel and with the people of Judah:

bbe@Jeremiah:31:32 @Not like the agreement which I made with their fathers, on the day when I took them by the hand to be their guide out of the land of Egypt; which agreement was broken by them, and I gave them up, says the Lord.

bbe@Jeremiah:31:33 @But this is the agreement which I will make with the people of Israel after those days, says the Lord; I will put my law in their inner parts, writing it in their hearts; and I will be their God, and they will be my people.

bbe@Jeremiah:31:35 @These are the words of the Lord, who has given the sun for a light by day, ordering the moon and stars for a light by night, who puts the sea in motion, causing the thunder of its waves; the Lord of armies is his name.

bbe@Jeremiah:31:39 @And the measuring-line will go out in front of it as far as the hill Gareb, going round to Goah.

bbe@Jeremiah:31:40 @And all the valley of the dead bodies, and all the field of death as far as the stream Kidron, up to the angle of the horses' doorway to the east, will be holy to the Lord; it will not again be uprooted or overturned for ever.

bbe@Jeremiah:32:2 @Now at that time the king of Babylon's army was round Jerusalem, shutting it in: and Jeremiah the prophet was shut up in the place of the armed watchmen, in the house of the king of Judah.

bbe@Jeremiah:32:3 @For Zedekiah, king of Judah, had had him shut up, saying, Why have you, as a prophet, been saying, The Lord has said, See, I will give this town into the hands of the king of Babylon, and he will take it;

bbe@Jeremiah:32:4 @And Zedekiah, king of Judah, will not get away from the hands of the Chaldaeans, but will certainly be given up into the hands of the king of Babylon, and will have talk with him, mouth to mouth, and see him, eye to eye.

bbe@Jeremiah:32:5 @And he will take Zedekiah away to Babylon, where he will be till I have pity on him, says the Lord: though you are fighting with the Chaldaeans, things will not go well for you?

bbe@Jeremiah:32:8 @So Hanamel, the son of my father's brother, came to me, as the Lord had said, to the place of the armed watchmen, and said to me, Give the price and get my property which is in Anathoth in the land of Benjamin: for you have the nearest relation's right to the heritage; so get it for yourself. Then it was clear to me that this was the word of the Lord.

bbe@Jeremiah:32:10 @And I put it in writing, stamping it with my stamp, and I took witnesses and put the money into the scales.

bbe@Jeremiah:32:11 @So I took the paper witnessing the business, one copy rolled up and stamped, and one copy open:

bbe@Jeremiah:32:12 @And I gave the paper to Baruch, the son of Neriah, the son of Mahseiah, before the eyes of Hanamel, the son of my father's brother, and of the witnesses who had put their names to the paper, and before all the Jews who were seated in the place of the armed watchmen.

bbe@Jeremiah:32:14 @This is what the Lord of armies, the God of Israel, has said: Take these papers, the witness of this business, the one which is rolled up and stamped, and the one which is open; and put them in a vessel of earth so that they may be kept for a long time.

bbe@Jeremiah:32:19 @Great in wisdom and strong in act: whose eyes are open on all the ways of the sons of men, giving to everyone the reward of his ways and the fruit of his doings:

bbe@Jeremiah:32:21 @And have taken your people Israel out of the land of Egypt with signs and with wonders and with a strong hand and an outstretched arm, causing great fear;

bbe@Jeremiah:32:22 @And have given them this land, which you gave your word to their fathers to give them, a land flowing with milk and honey;

bbe@Jeremiah:32:23 @And they came in and took it for their heritage, but they did not give ear to your voice, and were not ruled by your law; they have done nothing of all you gave them orders to do: so you have made all this evil come on them:

bbe@Jeremiah:32:24 @See, they have made earthworks against the town to take it; and the town is given into the hands of the Chaldaeans who are fighting against it, because of the sword and need of food and disease: and what you have said has taken place, and truly you see it.

bbe@Jeremiah:32:25 @And you have said to me, Give the money to get yourself a property, and have the business witnessed; though the town is given into the hands of the Chaldaeans.

bbe@Jeremiah:32:27 @See, I am the Lord, the God of all flesh: is there anything so hard that I am unable to do it?

bbe@Jeremiah:32:28 @So this is what the Lord has said: See, I am giving this town into the hands of the Chaldaeans and into the hands of Nebuchadrezzar, the king of Babylon, and he will take it:

bbe@Jeremiah:32:29 @And the Chaldaeans, who are fighting against this town, will come and put the town on fire, burning it together with the houses, on the roofs of which perfumes have been burned to the Baal, and drink offerings have been drained out to other gods, moving me to wrath.

bbe@Jeremiah:32:30 @For the children of Israel and the children of Judah have done nothing but evil in my eyes from their earliest years: the children of Israel have only made me angry with the work of their hands, says the Lord.

bbe@Jeremiah:32:31 @For this town has been to me a cause of wrath and of burning passion from the day of its building till this day, so that I put it away from before my face:

bbe@Jeremiah:32:34 @But they put their disgusting images into the house which is named by my name, making it unclean.

bbe@Jeremiah:32:35 @And they put up the high places of the Baal in the valley of the son of Hinnom, making their sons and their daughters go through the fire to Molech; which I did not give them orders to do, and it never came into my mind that they would do this disgusting thing, causing Judah to be turned out of the way.

bbe@Jeremiah:32:36 @And now the Lord, the God of Israel, has said of this town, about which you say, It is given into the hands of the king of Babylon by the sword and by need of food and by disease:

bbe@Jeremiah:32:37 @See, I will get them together from all the countries where I have sent them in my wrath and in the heat of my passion and in my bitter feeling; and I will let them come back into this place where they may take their rest safely.

bbe@Jeremiah:32:40 @And I will make an eternal agreement with them, that I will never give them up, but ever do them good; and I will put the fear of me in their hearts, so that they will not go away from me.

bbe@Jeremiah:32:41 @And truly, I will take pleasure in doing them good, and all my heart and soul will be given to planting them in this land in good faith.

bbe@Jeremiah:32:43 @And there will be trading in fields in this land of which you say, It is a waste, without man or beast; it is given into the hands of the Chaldaeans.

bbe@Jeremiah:32:44 @Men will get fields for money, and put the business in writing, stamping the papers and having them witnessed, in the land of Benjamin and in the country round Jerusalem and in the towns of Judah and in the towns of the hill-country and in the towns of the lowland and in the towns of the South: for I will let their fate be changed, says the Lord.

bbe@Jeremiah:33:2 @These are the words of the Lord, who is doing it, the Lord who is forming it, to make it certain; the Lord is his name;

bbe@Jeremiah:33:6 @See, I will make it healthy and well again, I will even make them well; I will let them see peace and good faith in full measure.

bbe@Jeremiah:33:8 @And I will make them clean from all their sin, with which they have been sinning against me; I will have forgiveness for all their sins, with which they have been sinning against me, and with which they have done evil against me.

bbe@Jeremiah:33:9 @And this town will be to me for a name of joy, for a praise and a glory before all the nations of the earth, who, hearing of all the good which I am doing for them, will be shaking with fear because of all the good and the peace which I am doing for it.

bbe@Jeremiah:33:10 @This is what the Lord has said: There will again be sounding in this place, of which you say, It is a waste, without man and without beast; even in the towns of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem which are waste and unpeopled, without man and without beast,

bbe@Jeremiah:33:11 @Happy sounds, the voice of joy, the voice of the newly-married man and the voice of the bride, the voices of those who say, Give praise to the Lord of armies, for the Lord is good, for his mercy is unchanging for ever: the voices of those who go with praise into the house of the Lord. For I will let the land come back to its first condition, says the Lord.

bbe@Jeremiah:33:12 @This is what the Lord of armies has said: Again there will be in this place, which is a waste, without man and without beast, and in all its towns, a resting-place where the keepers of sheep will make their flocks take rest.

bbe@Jeremiah:33:17 @For the Lord has said, David will never be without a man to take his place on the seat of the kingdom of Israel;

bbe@Jeremiah:33:18 @And the priests and the Levites will never be without a man to come before me, offering burned offerings and perfumes and meal offerings and offerings of beasts at all times.

bbe@Jeremiah:33:20 @The Lord has said: If it is possible for my agreement of the day and the night to be broken, so that day and night no longer come at their fixed times,

bbe@Jeremiah:33:21 @Then my agreement with my servant David may be broken, so that he no longer has a son to take his place on the seat of the kingdom; and my agreement with the Levites, the priests, my servants.

bbe@Jeremiah:33:22 @As it is not possible for the army of heaven to be numbered, or the sand of the sea measured, so will I make the seed of my servant David, and the Levites my servants.

bbe@Jeremiah:33:25 @The Lord has said, If I have not made day and night, and if the limits of heaven and earth have not been fixed by me,

bbe@Jeremiah:34:1 @The word which came to Jeremiah from the Lord, when Nebuchadrezzar, king of Babylon, and all his army, and all the kingdoms of the earth which were under his rule, and all the peoples, were fighting against Jerusalem and all its towns, saying,

bbe@Jeremiah:34:2 @The Lord, the God of Israel, has said, Go and say to Zedekiah, king of Judah, This is what the Lord has said: See, I will give this town into the hands of the king of Babylon, and he will have it burned with fire:

bbe@Jeremiah:34:3 @And you will not get away from him, but will certainly be taken and given up into his hands; and you will see the king of Babylon, eye to eye, and he will have talk with you, mouth to mouth, and you will go to Babylon.

bbe@Jeremiah:34:8 @The word which came to Jeremiah from the Lord, after King Zedekiah had made an agreement with all the people in Jerusalem, to give news in public that servants were to be made free;

bbe@Jeremiah:34:13 @The Lord, the God of Israel, has said, I made an agreement with your fathers on the day when I took them out of Egypt, out of the prison-house, saying,

bbe@Jeremiah:34:18 @And I will give the men who have gone against my agreement and have not given effect to the words of the agreement which they made before me, when the ox was cut in two and they went between the parts of it,

bbe@Jeremiah:34:22 @See, I will give orders, says the Lord, and make them come back to this town; and they will make war on it and take it and have it burned with fire: and I will make the towns of Judah waste and unpeopled.

bbe@Jeremiah:35:2 @Go into the house of the Rechabites, and have talk with them, and take them into the house of the Lord, into one of the rooms, and give them wine.

bbe@Jeremiah:35:3 @Then I took Jaazaniah, the son of Jeremiah, the son of Habazziniah, and his brothers and all his sons and all the Rechabites;

bbe@Jeremiah:35:5 @And I put before the sons of the Rechabites basins full of wine and cups, and I said to them, Take some wine.

bbe@Jeremiah:35:18 @But to the Rechabites Jeremiah said, This is what the Lord of armies, the God of Israel, has said: Because you have done the orders of Jonadab your father, and have kept his rules, and done everything as he gave you orders to do it;

bbe@Jeremiah:35:19 @For this reason the Lord of armies, the God of Israel, has said, Jonadab, the son of Rechab, will never be without a man to take his place before me.

bbe@Jeremiah:36:1 @Now it came about in the fourth year of Jehoiakim, the son of Josiah, king of Judah, that this word came to Jeremiah from the Lord, saying,

bbe@Jeremiah:36:2 @Take a book and put down in it all the words I have said to you against Israel and against Judah and against all the nations, from the day when my word came to you in the days of Josiah till this day.

bbe@Jeremiah:36:3 @It may be that the people of Judah, hearing of all the evil which it is my purpose to do to them, will be turned, every man from his evil ways; so that they may have my forgiveness for their evil-doing and their sin.

bbe@Jeremiah:36:4 @Then Jeremiah sent for Baruch, the son of Neriah; and Baruch took down from the mouth of Jeremiah all the words of the Lord which he had said to him, writing them in a book.

bbe@Jeremiah:36:6 @So you are to go, reading there from the book, which you have taken down from my mouth, the words of the Lord, in the hearing of the people in the Lord's house, on a day when they go without food, and in the hearing of all the men of Judah who have come out from their towns.

bbe@Jeremiah:36:7 @It may be that their prayer for grace will go up to the Lord, and that every man will be turned from his evil ways: for great is the wrath and the passion made clear by the Lord against this people.

bbe@Jeremiah:36:9 @Now it came about in the fifth year of Jehoiakim, the son of Josiah, king of Judah, in the ninth month, that it was given out publicly that all the people in Jerusalem, and all the people who came from the towns of Judah to Jerusalem, were to keep from food before the Lord.

bbe@Jeremiah:36:15 @Then they said to him, Be seated now, and give us a reading from it. So Baruch did so, reading it to them.

bbe@Jeremiah:36:16 @Now it came about that, after hearing all the words, they said to one another in fear, We will certainly give the king an account of all these words.

bbe@Jeremiah:36:17 @And questioning Baruch, they said, Say now, how did you put all these words down in writing from his mouth?

bbe@Jeremiah:36:18 @Then Baruch, answering, said, He said all these things to me by word of mouth, and I put them down with ink in the book.

bbe@Jeremiah:36:21 @So the king sent Jehudi to get the book, and he took it from the room of Elishama the scribe. And Jehudi gave a reading of it in the hearing of the king and all the rulers who were by the king's side.

bbe@Jeremiah:36:23 @And it came about that whenever Jehudi, in his reading, had got through three or four divisions, the king, cutting them with his penknife, put them into the fire, till all the book was burned up in the fire which was burning in the fireplace.

bbe@Jeremiah:36:28 @Take another book and put down in it all the words which were in the first book, which Jehoiakim, king of Judah, put into the fire.

bbe@Jeremiah:36:29 @And about Jehoiakim, king of Judah, you are to say, This is what the Lord has said: You have put this book into the fire, saying, Why have you put in it that the king of Babylon will certainly come, causing the destruction of this land and putting an end to every man and beast in it?

bbe@Jeremiah:36:32 @Then Jeremiah took another book, and gave it to Baruch the scribe, the son of Neriah, who put down in it, from the mouth of Jeremiah, all the words of the book which had been burned in the fire by Jehoiakim, king of Judah: and in addition a number of other words of the same sort.

bbe@Jeremiah:37:8 @And the Chaldaeans will come back again and make war against this town and they will take it and put it on fire.

bbe@Jeremiah:37:11 @And it came about that when the Chaldaean army outside Jerusalem had gone away for fear of Pharaoh's army,

bbe@Jeremiah:37:12 @Jeremiah went out of Jerusalem to go into the land of Benjamin, with the purpose of taking up his heritage there among the people.

bbe@Jeremiah:37:15 @And the rulers were angry with Jeremiah, and gave him blows and put him in prison in the house of Jonathan the scribe: for they had made that the prison.

bbe@Jeremiah:38:1 @Now it came to the ears of Shephatiah, the son of Mattan, and Gedaliah, the son of Pashhur, and Jucal, the son of Shelemiah, and Pashhur, the son of Malchiah, that Jeremiah had said to all the people,

bbe@Jeremiah:38:3 @The Lord has said, This town will certainly be given into the hands of the army of the king of Babylon, and he will take it.

bbe@Jeremiah:38:6 @So they took Jeremiah and put him into the water-hole of Malchiah, the king's son, in the place of the armed watchmen: and they let Jeremiah down with cords. And in the hole there was no water, but wet earth: and Jeremiah went down into the wet earth.

bbe@Jeremiah:38:7 @Now it came to the ears of Ebed-melech the Ethiopian, an unsexed servant in the king's house, that they had put Jeremiah into the water-hole; the king at that time being seated in the doorway of Benjamin:

bbe@Jeremiah:38:10 @Then the king gave orders to Ebed-melech the Ethiopian, saying, Take with you three men from here and get Jeremiah out of the water-hole before death overtakes him.

bbe@Jeremiah:38:11 @So Ebed-melech took the men with him and went into the house of the king, to the place where the clothing was kept, and got from there old clothing and bits of old cloth, and let them down by cords into the water-hole where Jeremiah was.

bbe@Jeremiah:38:12 @And Ebed-melech the Ethiopian said to Jeremiah, Put these bits of old cloth under your arms under the cords. And Jeremiah did so.

bbe@Jeremiah:38:13 @So pulling Jeremiah up with the cords they got him out of the water-hole: and Jeremiah was kept in the place of the armed watchmen.

bbe@Jeremiah:38:15 @Then Jeremiah said to Zedekiah, If I give you the answer to your question, will you not certainly put me to death? and if I make a suggestion to you, you will not give it a hearing.

bbe@Jeremiah:38:17 @Then Jeremiah said to Zedekiah, These are the words of the Lord, the God of armies, the God of Israel: If you go out to the king of Babylon's captains, then you will have life, and the town will not be burned with fire, and you and your family will be kept from death:

bbe@Jeremiah:38:18 @But if you do not go out to the king of Babylon's captains, then this town will be given into the hands of the Chaldaeans and they will put it on fire, and you will not get away from them.

bbe@Jeremiah:38:20 @But Jeremiah said, They will not give you up: be guided now by the word of the Lord as I have given it to you, and it will be well for you, and you will keep your life.

bbe@Jeremiah:38:23 @And they will take all your wives and your children out to the Chaldaeans: and you will not get away out of their hands, but will be taken by the hands of the king of Babylon: and this town will be burned with fire.

bbe@Jeremiah:38:25 @But if it comes to the ears of the rulers that I have been talking with you, and they come and say to you, Give us word now of what you have said to the king and what the king said to you, keeping nothing back and we will not put you to death;

bbe@Jeremiah:39:1 @And it came about, that when Jerusalem was taken, (in the ninth year of Zedekiah, king of Judah, in the tenth month, Nebuchadrezzar, king of Babylon, with all his army, came against Jerusalem, shutting it in on every side;

bbe@Jeremiah:39:4 @And when Zedekiah, king of Judah, and all the men of war saw it, they went in flight from the town by night, by the way of the king's garden, through the doorway between the two walls: and they went out by the Arabah.

bbe@Jeremiah:39:12 @Take him and keep an eye on him and see that no evil comes to him; but do with him whatever he says to you.

bbe@Jeremiah:39:18 @For I will certainly let you go free, and you will not be put to the sword, but your life will be given to you out of the hands of your attackers: because you have put your faith in me, says the Lord.

bbe@Jeremiah:40:3 @*** and the Lord has made it come, and has done as he said; because of your sin against the Lord in not giving ear to his voice; and that is why this thing has come on you.

bbe@Jeremiah:40:4 @Now see, this day I am freeing you from the chains which are on your hands. If it seems good to you to come with me to Babylon, then come, and I will keep an eye on you; but if it does not seem good to you to come with me to Babylon, then do not come: see, all the land is before you; if it seems good and right to you to go on living in the land,

bbe@Jeremiah:40:5 @Then go back to Gedaliah, the son of Ahikam, the son of Shaphan, whom the king of Babylon has made ruler over the towns of Judah, and make your living-place with him among the people; or go wherever it seems right to you to go. So the captain of the armed men gave him food and some money and let him go.

bbe@Jeremiah:40:6 @So Jeremiah went to Gedaliah, the son of Ahikam, in Mizpah, and was living with him among the people who were still in the land.

bbe@Jeremiah:40:7 @Now when it came to the ears of all the captains of the forces who were in the field, and their men, that the king of Babylon had made Gedaliah, the son of Ahikam, ruler in the land, and had put under his care the men and women and children, all the poorest of the land, those who had not been taken away to Babylon;

bbe@Jeremiah:40:8 @Then they came to Gedaliah in Mizpah, even Ishmael, the son of Nethaniah, and Johanan, the son of Kareah, and Seraiah, the son of Tanhumeth, and the sons of Ephai the Netophathite, and Jezaniah, the son of the Maacathite, they and their men.

bbe@Jeremiah:40:10 @As for me, I will be living in Mizpah as your representative before the Chaldaeans who come to us: but you are to get in your wine and summer fruits and oil and put them in your vessels, and make living-places for yourselves in the towns which you have taken.

bbe@Jeremiah:40:11 @In the same way, when all the Jews who were in Moab and among the children of Ammon and in Edom and in all the countries, had news that the king of Babylon had let Judah keep some of its people and that he had put over them Gedaliah, the son of Ahikam, the son of Shaphan;

bbe@Jeremiah:40:12 @Then all the Jews came back from all the places to which they had gone in flight, and came to the land of Judah, to Gedaliah, to Mizpah, and got in a great store of wine and summer fruit.

bbe@Jeremiah:40:14 @And said to him, Has it come to your knowledge that Baalis, the king of the children of Ammon, has sent Ishmael, the son of Nethaniah, to take your life? But Gedaliah, the son of Ahikam, put no faith in what they said.

bbe@Jeremiah:40:15 @Then Johanan, the son of Kareah, said to Gedaliah in Mizpah secretly, Let me now go and put Ishmael, the son of Nethaniah, to death without anyone's knowledge: why let him take your life so that all the Jews who have come together to you may be sent in flight, and the rest of the men of Judah come to an end?

bbe@Jeremiah:41:1 @Now it came about in the seventh month that Ishmael, the son of Nethaniah, the son of Elishama, of the king's seed, having with him ten men, came to Gedaliah, the son of Ahikam, in Mizpah; and they had a meal together in Mizpah.

bbe@Jeremiah:41:2 @Then Ishmael, the son of Nethaniah, and the ten men who were with him, got up, and attacking Gedaliah, the son of Ahikam, the son of Shaphan, with the sword, put to death him whom the king of Babylon had made ruler over the land.

bbe@Jeremiah:41:3 @And Ishmael put to death all the Jews who were with him, even with Gedaliah, at Mizpah, and the Chaldaean men of war.

bbe@Jeremiah:41:4 @Now on the second day after he had put Gedaliah to death, when no one had knowledge of it,

bbe@Jeremiah:41:5 @Some people came from Shechem, from Shiloh and Samaria, eighty men, with the hair of their faces cut off and their clothing out of order, and with cuts on their bodies, and in their hands meal offerings and perfumes which they were taking to the house of the Lord.

bbe@Jeremiah:41:6 @And Ishmael, the son of Nethaniah, went out from Mizpah with the purpose of meeting them, weeping on his way: and it came about that when he was face to face with them he said, Come to Gedaliah, the son of Ahikam.

bbe@Jeremiah:41:7 @And when they came inside the town, Ishmael, the son of Nethaniah, and the men who were with him, put them to death and put their bodies into a deep hole.

bbe@Jeremiah:41:8 @But there were ten men among them who said to Ishmael, Do not put us to death, for we have secret stores, in the country, of grain and oil and honey. So he did not put them to death with their countrymen.

bbe@Jeremiah:41:9 @Now the hole into which Ishmael had put the dead bodies of the men whom he had put to death, was the great hole which Asa the king had made for fear of Baasha, king of Israel: and Ishmael, the son of Nethaniah, made it full of the bodies of those who had been put to death.

bbe@Jeremiah:41:10 @Then Ishmael took away as prisoners all the rest of the people who were in Mizpah, the king's daughters and all the people still in Mizpah, whom Nebuzaradan, the captain of the armed men, had put under the care of Gedaliah, the son of Ahikam: Ishmael, the son of Nethaniah, took them away prisoners with the purpose of going over to the children of Ammon.

bbe@Jeremiah:41:11 @But when Johanan, the son of Kareah, and all the captains of the armed forces who were with him, had news of all the evil which Ishmael, the son of Nethaniah, had done,

bbe@Jeremiah:41:12 @They took their men and went out to make war on Ishmael, the son of Nethaniah, and they came face to face with him by the great waters in Gibeon.

bbe@Jeremiah:41:13 @Now when all the people who were with Ishmael saw Johanan, the son of Kareah, and all the captains of the forces with him, then they were glad.

bbe@Jeremiah:41:15 @But Ishmael, the son of Nethaniah, got away from Johanan, with eight men, and went to the children of Ammon.

bbe@Jeremiah:41:16 @Then Johanan, the son of Kareah, and all the captains of the forces who were with him, took all the rest of the people whom Ishmael, the son of Nethaniah, had made prisoners, after he had put to death Gedaliah, the son of Ahikam, the people from Mizpah, that is, the men of war and the women and the children and the unsexed servants, whom he had taken back with him from Gibeon:

bbe@Jeremiah:42:4 @Then Jeremiah the prophet said to them, I have given ear to you; see, I will make prayer to the Lord your God, as you have said; and it will be that, whatever the Lord may say in answer to you, I will give you word of it, keeping nothing back.

bbe@Jeremiah:42:5 @Then they said to Jeremiah, May the Lord be a true witness against us in good faith, if we do not do everything which the Lord your God sends you to say to us.

bbe@Jeremiah:42:6 @If it is good or if it is evil, we will be guided by the voice of the Lord our God, to whom we are sending you; so that it may be well for us when we give ear to the voice of the Lord our God.

bbe@Jeremiah:42:7 @And it came about that after ten days the word of the Lord came to Jeremiah.

bbe@Jeremiah:42:8 @And he sent for Johanan, the son of Kareah, and all the captains of the forces who were still with him, and all the people, from the least to the greatest,

bbe@Jeremiah:42:16 @Then it will come about that the sword, which is the cause of your fear, will overtake you there in the land of Egypt, and need of food, which you are fearing, will go after you there in Egypt; and there death will come to you.

bbe@Jeremiah:42:19 @The Lord has said about you, O last of Judah, Go not into Egypt: be certain that I have given witness to you this day.

bbe@Jeremiah:42:20 @For you have been acting with deceit in your hearts; for you sent me to the Lord your God, saying, Make prayer for us to the Lord our God, and give us word of everything he may say, and we will do it.

bbe@Jeremiah:42:21 @And this day I have made it clear to you, and you have not given ear to the voice of the Lord your God in anything for which he has sent me to you.

bbe@Jeremiah:44:23 @Because you have been burning perfumes, and sinning against the Lord, and have not given ear to the voice of the Lord, or gone in the way of his law or his rules or his orders; for this reason this evil has come on you, as it is today.

bbe@Jeremiah:44:25 @This is what the Lord of armies, the God of Israel, has said: You women have said with your mouths, and with your hands you have done what you said, We will certainly give effect to the oaths we have made, to have perfumes burned to the queen of heaven and drink offerings drained out to her: then give effect to your oaths and do them.

bbe@Jeremiah:49:2 @Because of this, see, the days are coming when I will have a cry of war sounded against Rabbah, the town of the children of Ammon; it will become a waste of broken walls, and her daughter-towns will be burned with fire: then Israel will take the heritage of those who took his heritage, says the Lord.

bbe@Jeremiah:49:3 @Make sounds of grief, O Heshbon, for Ai is wasted; give loud cries, O daughters of Rabbah, and put haircloth round you: give yourselves to weeping, running here and there and wounding yourselves; for Milcom will be taken prisoner together with his rulers and his priests.

bbe@Jeremiah:49:4 @Why are you lifted up in pride on account of your valleys, your flowing valley, O daughter ever turning away? who puts her faith in her wealth, saying, Who will come against me?

bbe@Jeremiah:49:11 @Put in my care your children who have no father, and I will keep them safe; and let your widows put their faith in me.

bbe@Jeremiah:49:12 @For the Lord has said, Those for whom the cup was not made ready will certainly be forced to take of it; and are you to go without punishment? you will not be without punishment, but will certainly be forced to take from the cup.

bbe@Jeremiah:49:13 @For I have taken an oath by myself, says the Lord, that Bozrah will become a cause of wonder, a name of shame, a waste and a curse; and all its towns will be waste places for ever.

bbe@Jeremiah:49:17 @And Edom will become a cause of wonder: everyone who goes by will be overcome with wonder, and make sounds of fear at all her punishments.

bbe@Jeremiah:49:18 @As at the downfall of Sodom and Gomorrah and their neighbouring towns, says the Lord, no man will be living in it, no son of man will have a resting-place there.

bbe@Jeremiah:49:20 @For this cause give ear to the decision of the Lord which he has made against Edom, and to his purposes designed against the people of Teman: Truly, they will be pulled away by the smallest of the flock; truly, he will make waste their fields with them.

bbe@Jeremiah:49:21 @The earth is shaking with the noise of their fall; their cry is sounding in the Red Sea.

bbe@Jeremiah:49:23 @About Damascus. Hamath is put to shame, and Arpad; for the word of evil has come to their ears, their heart in its fear is turned to water, it will not be quiet.

bbe@Jeremiah:49:24 @Damascus has become feeble, she is turned to flight, fear has taken her in its grip: pain and sorrows have come on her, as on a woman in birth-pains.

bbe@Jeremiah:49:31 @Up! go against a nation which is living in comfort and without fear of danger, says the Lord, without doors or locks, living by themselves.

bbe@Jeremiah:49:33 @And Hazor will be a hole for jackals, a waste for ever: no one will be living in it, and no son of man will have a resting-place there.

bbe@Jeremiah:49:39 @But it will come about that, in the last days, I will let the fate of Elam be changed, says the Lord.

bbe@Jeremiah:50:2 @Give it out among the nations, make it public, and let the flag be lifted up; give the word and keep nothing back; say, Babylon is taken, Bel is put to shame, Merodach is broken, her images are put to shame, her gods are broken.

bbe@Jeremiah:50:5 @They will be questioning about the way to Zion, with their faces turned in its direction, saying, Come, and be united to the Lord in an eternal agreement which will be kept in mind for ever.

bbe@Jeremiah:50:9 @For see, I am moving and sending up against Babylon a band of great nations from the north country: and they will put their armies in position against her; and from there she will be taken: their arrows will be like those of an expert man of war; not one will come back without getting its mark.

bbe@Jeremiah:50:11 @Because you are glad, because you are lifted up with pride, you wasters of my heritage, because you are playing like a young cow put out to grass, and you make a noise like strong horses;

bbe@Jeremiah:50:13 @Because of the wrath of the Lord no one will be living in it, and it will be quite unpeopled: everyone who goes by Babylon will be overcome with wonder, and make sounds of fear at all her punishments.

bbe@Jeremiah:50:14 @Put your armies in position against Babylon on every side, all you bowmen; let loose your arrows at her, not keeping any back: for she has done evil against the Lord.

bbe@Jeremiah:50:15 @Give a loud cry against her on every side; she has given herself up, her supports are overturned, her walls are broken down: for it is the payment taken by the Lord; give her payment; as she has done, so do to her.

bbe@Jeremiah:50:21 @Go up against the land of Merathaim, even against it, and against the people of Pekod; put them to death and send destruction after them, says the Lord, and do everything I have given you orders to do.

bbe@Jeremiah:50:24 @I have put a net for you, and you have been taken, O Babylon, without your knowledge: you have been uncovered and taken because you were fighting against the Lord.

bbe@Jeremiah:50:32 @And pride will go with uncertain steps and have a fall, and there will be no one to come to his help: and I will put a fire in his towns, burning up everything round about him.

bbe@Jeremiah:50:38 @A sword is on her waters, drying them up; for it is a land of images, and their minds are fixed on false gods.

bbe@Jeremiah:50:39 @For this reason the beasts of the waste land with the wolves will make their holes there and the ostriches will be living in it: never again will men be living there, it will be unpeopled from generation to generation.

bbe@Jeremiah:50:40 @As when Sodom and Gomorrah and their neighbouring towns were overturned by God, says the Lord, so no man will be living in it, and no son of man will have a resting-place there.

bbe@Jeremiah:50:45 @So give ear to the decision of the Lord which he has made against Babylon, and to his purposes designed against the land of the Chaldaeans; Truly, they will be pulled away by the smallest of the flock; truly, he will make waste their fields with them.

bbe@Jeremiah:51:6 @Go in flight out of Babylon, so that every man may keep his life; do not be cut off in her evil-doing: for it is the time of the Lord's punishment; he will give her her reward.

bbe@Jeremiah:51:7 @Babylon has been a gold cup in the hand of the Lord, which has made all the earth overcome with wine: the nations have taken of her wine, and for this cause the nations have gone off their heads.

bbe@Jeremiah:51:8 @Sudden is the downfall of Babylon and her destruction: make cries of grief for her; take sweet oil for her pain, if it is possible for her to be made well.

bbe@Jeremiah:51:11 @Make bright the arrows; take up the body-covers: the Lord has been moving the spirit of the king of the Medes; because his design against Babylon is its destruction: for it is the punishment from the Lord, the payment for his Temple.

bbe@Jeremiah:51:12 @Let the flag be lifted up against the walls of Babylon, make the watch strong, put the watchmen in their places, make ready a surprise attack: for it is the Lord's purpose, and he has done what he said about the people of Babylon.

bbe@Jeremiah:51:13 @O you whose living-place is by the wide waters, whose stores are great, your end is come, your evil profit is ended.

bbe@Jeremiah:51:14 @The Lord of armies has taken an oath by himself, saying, Truly, I will make you full with men as with locusts, and their voices will be loud against you.

bbe@Jeremiah:51:15 @He has made the earth by his power, he has made the world strong in its place by his wisdom, and by his wise design the heavens have been stretched out:

bbe@Jeremiah:51:17 @Then every man becomes like a beast without knowledge; every gold-worker is put to shame by the image he has made: for his metal image is deceit, and there is no breath in them.

bbe@Jeremiah:51:19 @The heritage of Jacob is not like these; for the maker of all things is his heritage: the Lord of armies is his name.

bbe@Jeremiah:51:20 @You are my fighting axe and my instrument of war: with you the nations will be broken; with you kingdoms will be broken;

bbe@Jeremiah:51:21 @With you the horse and the horseman will be broken; with you the war-carriage and he who goes in it will be broken;

bbe@Jeremiah:51:22 @With you man and woman will be broken; with you the old man and the boy will be broken; with you the young man and the virgin will be broken;

bbe@Jeremiah:51:23 @With you the keeper of sheep with his flock will be broken, and with you the farmer and his oxen will be broken, and with you captains and rulers will be broken.

bbe@Jeremiah:51:30 @Babylon's men of war have kept back from the fight, waiting in their strong places; their strength has given way, they have become like women: her houses have been put on fire, her locks are broken.

bbe@Jeremiah:51:31 @One man, running, will give word to another, and one who goes with news will be handing it on to another, to give word to the king of Babylon that his town has been taken from every quarter:

bbe@Jeremiah:51:32 @And the ways across the river have been taken, and the water-holes... burned with fire, and the men of war are in the grip of fear.

bbe@Jeremiah:51:33 @For these are the words of the Lord of armies, the God of Israel: The daughter of Babylon is like a grain-floor when it is stamped down; before long, the time of her grain-cutting will come.

bbe@Jeremiah:51:34 @Nebuchadrezzar, king of Babylon, has made a meal of me, violently crushing me, he has made me a vessel with nothing in it, he has taken me in his mouth like a dragon, he has made his stomach full with my delicate flesh, crushing me with his teeth.

bbe@Jeremiah:51:36 @For this reason the Lord has said: See, I will give support to your cause, and take payment for what you have undergone; I will make her sea dry, and her fountain without water.

bbe@Jeremiah:51:37 @And Babylon will become a mass of broken walls, a hole for jackals, a cause of wonder and surprise, without a living man in it.

bbe@Jeremiah:51:39 @When they are heated, I will make a feast for them, and overcome them with wine, so that they may become unconscious, sleeping an eternal sleep without awaking, says the Lord.

bbe@Jeremiah:51:42 @The sea has come up over Babylon; she is covered with the mass of its waves.

bbe@Jeremiah:51:44 @And I will send punishment on Bel in Babylon, and take out of his mouth what went into it; no longer will the nations be flowing together to him: truly, the wall of Babylon will come down.

bbe@Jeremiah:51:50 @You who have got away safe from the sword, go, waiting for nothing; have the Lord in memory when you are far away, and keep Jerusalem in mind.

bbe@Jeremiah:51:51 @We are shamed because bitter words have come to our ears; our faces are covered with shame: for men from strange lands have come into the holy places of the Lord's house.

bbe@Jeremiah:51:53 @Even if Babylon was lifted up to heaven, even if she had the high places of her strength shut in with walls, still I would send against her those who will make her waste, says the Lord.

bbe@Jeremiah:51:57 @And I will make her chiefs and her wise men, her rulers and her captains and her men of war, overcome with wine; their sleep will be an eternal sleep without awaking, says the King; the Lord of armies is his name.

bbe@Jeremiah:51:58 @The Lord of armies has said: The wide walls of Babylon will be completely uncovered and her high doorways will be burned with fire; so peoples keep on working for nothing, and the weariness of nations comes to an end in the smoke.

bbe@Jeremiah:51:59 @The order which Jeremiah the prophet gave to Seraiah, the son of Neriah, the son of Mahseiah, when he went with Zedekiah, the king of Judah, to Babylon in the fourth year of his rule. Now Seraiah was the chief controller of the house.

bbe@Jeremiah:51:62 @And after reading them, say, O Lord, you have said about this place that it is to be cut off, so that no one will be living in it, not a man or a beast, but it will be unpeopled for ever.

bbe@Jeremiah:51:63 @And it will be that, when you have come to an end of reading this book, you are to have a stone fixed to it, and have it dropped into the Euphrates:

bbe@Jeremiah:52:4 @And in the ninth year of his rule, on the tenth day of the tenth month, Nebuchadrezzar, king of Babylon, came against Jerusalem with all his army and took up his position before it, building earthworks all round it.

bbe@Jeremiah:52:13 @And he had the house of the Lord and the king's house and all the houses of Jerusalem, even every great house, burned with fire:

bbe@Jeremiah:52:14 @And the walls round Jerusalem were broken down by the Chaldaean army which was with the captain.

bbe@Jeremiah:52:20 @The two pillars, the great water-vessel, and the twelve brass oxen which were under it, and the ten wheeled bases, which King Solomon had made for the house of the Lord: the brass of all these vessels was without weight.

bbe@Jeremiah:52:21 @And as for the pillars, one pillar was eighteen cubits high, and twelve cubits measured all round, and it was as thick as a man's hand: it was hollow.

bbe@Jeremiah:52:22 @And there was a crown of brass on it: the crown was five cubits high, circled with a network and apples all of brass; and the second pillar had the same.

bbe@Jeremiah:52:25 @And from the town he took the unsexed servant who was over the men of war, and seven of the king's near friends who were in the town, and the scribe of the captain of the army, who was responsible for getting the people of the land together in military order, and sixty men of the people of the land who were in the town.

bbe@Jeremiah:52:26 @These Nebuzaradan, the captain of the armed men, took with him to the king of Babylon at Riblah.

bbe@Jeremiah:52:32 @And he said kind words to him and put his seat higher than the seats of the other kings who were with him in Babylon.

bbe@Lamentations:1:2 @She is sorrowing bitterly in the night, and her face is wet with weeping; among all her lovers she has no comforter: all her friends have been false to her, they have become her haters.

bbe@Lamentations:1:4 @The ways of Zion are sad, because no one comes to the holy meeting; all her doorways are made waste, her priests are breathing out sorrow: her virgins are troubled, and it is bitter for her.

bbe@Lamentations:1:6 @And all her glory has gone from the daughter of Zion: her rulers have become like harts with no place for food, and they have gone in flight without strength before the attacker.

bbe@Lamentations:1:13 @From on high he has sent fire into my bones, and it has overcome them: his net is stretched out for my feet, I am turned back by him; he has made me waste and feeble all the day.

bbe@Lamentations:1:16 @For these things I am weeping; my eye is streaming with water; because the comforter who might give me new life is far from me: my children are made waste, because the hater is strong.

bbe@Lamentations:1:21 @Give ear to the voice of my grief; I have no comforter; all my haters have news of my troubles, they are glad because you have done it: let the day of fate come when they will be like me.

bbe@Lamentations:2:1 @How has the daughter of Zion been covered with a cloud by the Lord in his wrath! he has sent down from heaven to earth the glory of Israel, and has not kept in memory the resting-place of his feet in the day of his wrath.

bbe@Lamentations:2:2 @The Lord has given up to destruction all the living-places of Jacob without pity; pulling down in his wrath the strong places of the daughter of Judah, stretching out on the earth the wounded, even her king and her rulers.

bbe@Lamentations:2:4 @His bow has been bent for the attack, he has taken his place with his hand ready, in his hate he has put to death all who were pleasing to the eye: on the tent of the daughter of Zion he has let loose his passion like fire.

bbe@Lamentations:2:8 @It is the Lord's purpose to make waste the wall of the daughter of Zion; his line has been stretched out, he has not kept back his hand from destruction: he has sent sorrow on tower and wall, they have become feeble together.

bbe@Lamentations:2:10 @The responsible men of the daughter of Zion are seated on the earth without a word; they have put dust on their heads, they are clothed in haircloth: the heads of the virgins of Jerusalem are bent down to the earth.

bbe@Lamentations:2:11 @My eyes are wasted with weeping, the inmost parts of my body are deeply moved, my inner parts are drained out on the earth, for the destruction of the daughter of my people; because of the young children and babies at the breast who are falling without strength in the open squares of the town.

bbe@Lamentations:2:15 @All who go by make a noise with their hands at you; they make hisses, shaking their heads at the daughter of Jerusalem, and saying, Is this the town which was the crown of everything beautiful, the joy of all the earth?

bbe@Lamentations:2:16 @All your haters are opening their mouths wide against you; making hisses and whistling through their teeth, they say, We have made a meal of her: certainly this is the day we have been looking for; it has come, we have seen it.

bbe@Lamentations:2:17 @The Lord has done that which was his purpose; he has put into force the orders which he gave in the days which are past; pulling down without pity, he has made your hater glad over you, lifting up the horn of those who were against you.

bbe@Lamentations:2:20 @Look! O Lord, see to whom you have done this! Are the women to take as their food the fruit of their bodies, the children who are folded in their arms? are the priest and the prophet to be put to death in the holy place of the Lord?

bbe@Lamentations:2:21 @The young men and the old are stretched on the earth in the streets; my virgins and my young men have been put to the sword: you have sent death on them in the day of your wrath, causing death without pity.

bbe@Lamentations:3:5 @He has put up a wall against me, shutting me in with bitter sorrow.

bbe@Lamentations:3:10 @He is like a bear waiting for me, like a lion in secret places

bbe@Lamentations:3:11 @By him my ways have been turned on one side and I have been pulled in bits; he has made me waste.

bbe@Lamentations:3:12 @With his bow bent, he has made me the mark for his arrows.

bbe@Lamentations:3:15 @He has made my life nothing but pain, he has given me the bitter root in full measure.

bbe@Lamentations:3:16 @By him my teeth have been broken with crushed stones, and I am bent low in the dust.

bbe@Lamentations:3:19 @Keep in mind my trouble and my wandering, the bitter root and the poison.

bbe@Lamentations:3:22 @It is through the Lord's love that we have not come to destruction, because his mercies have no limit.

bbe@Lamentations:3:23 @They are new every morning; great is your good faith.

bbe@Lamentations:3:24 @I said to myself, The Lord is my heritage; and because of this I will have hope in him.

bbe@Lamentations:3:25 @The Lord is good to those who are waiting for him, to the soul which is looking for him.

bbe@Lamentations:3:26 @It is good to go on hoping and quietly waiting for the salvation of the Lord.

bbe@Lamentations:3:27 @It is good for a man to undergo the yoke when he is young.

bbe@Lamentations:3:28 @Let him be seated by himself, saying nothing, because he has put it on him.

bbe@Lamentations:3:32 @For though he sends grief, still he will have pity in the full measure of his love.

bbe@Lamentations:3:37 @Who is able to say a thing, and give effect to it, if it has not been ordered by the Lord?

bbe@Lamentations:3:41 @Lifting up our hearts with our hands to God in the heavens.

bbe@Lamentations:3:43 @Covering yourself with wrath you have gone after us, cutting us off without pity;

bbe@Lamentations:3:44 @Covering yourself with a cloud, so that prayer may not get through.

bbe@Lamentations:3:49 @My eyes are streaming without stopping, they have no rest,

bbe@Lamentations:3:52 @They who are against me without cause have gone hard after me as if I was a bird;

bbe@Lamentations:3:53 @They have put an end to my life in the prison, stoning me with stones.

bbe@Lamentations:3:61 @Their bitter words have come to your ears, O Lord, and all their designs against me;

bbe@Lamentations:3:65 @You will let their hearts be covered over with your curse on them.

bbe@Lamentations:4:4 @The tongue of the child at the breast is fixed to the roof of his mouth for need of drink: the young children are crying out for bread, and no man gives it to them.

bbe@Lamentations:4:6 @For the punishment of the daughter of my people is greater than the punishment of Sodom, which was overturned suddenly without any hand falling on her.

bbe@Lamentations:4:7 @Her holy ones were cleaner than snow, they were whiter than milk, their bodies were redder than corals, their form was as the sapphire:

bbe@Lamentations:4:9 @Those who have been put to the sword are better off than those whose death is caused by need of food; for these come to death slowly, burned up like the fruit of the field.

bbe@Lamentations:4:11 @The Lord has given full effect to his passion, he has let loose his burning wrath; he has made a fire in Zion, causing the destruction of its bases.

bbe@Lamentations:4:12 @To the kings of the earth and to all the people of the world it did not seem possible that the attackers and the haters would go into the doors of Jerusalem.

bbe@Lamentations:4:13 @It is because of the sins of her prophets and the evil-doing of her priests, by whom the blood of the upright has been drained out in her.

bbe@Lamentations:4:14 @They are wandering like blind men in the streets, they are made unclean with blood, so that their robes may not be touched by men.

bbe@Lamentations:4:19 @Those who went after us were quicker than the eagles of the heaven, driving us before them on the mountains, waiting secretly for us in the waste land.

bbe@Lamentations:4:21 @Have joy and be glad, O daughter of Edom, living in the land of Uz: the cup will be given to you in your turn, and you will be overcome with wine and your shame will be seen.

bbe@Lamentations:5:2 @Our heritage is given up to men of strange lands, our houses to those who are not our countrymen.

bbe@Lamentations:5:3 @We are children without fathers, our mothers are like widows.

bbe@Lamentations:5:5 @Our attackers are on our necks: overcome with weariness, we have no rest.

bbe@Lamentations:5:18 @Because of the mountain of Zion which is a waste; jackals go over it.

bbe@Lamentations:5:22 @But you have quite given us up; you are full of wrath against us.

bbe@Ezekiel:1:1 @Now it came about in the thirtieth year, in the fourth month, on the fifth day of the month, while I was by the river Chebar among those who had been made prisoners, that the heavens were made open and I saw visions of God.

bbe@Ezekiel:1:4 @And, looking, I saw a storm-wind coming out of the north, a great cloud with flames of fire coming after one another, and a bright light shining round about it and in the heart of it was something coloured like electrum.

bbe@Ezekiel:1:5 @And in the heart of it were the forms of four living beings. And this was what they were like; they had the form of a man.

bbe@Ezekiel:1:9 @They went without turning, every one went straight forward.

bbe@Ezekiel:1:12 @Every one of them went straight forward; wherever the spirit was to go they went; they went on without turning.

bbe@Ezekiel:1:13 @And between the living beings it was like burning coals of fire, as if flames were going one after the other between the living beings; and the fire was bright, and out of the fire went thunder-flames.

bbe@Ezekiel:1:17 @The four of them went straight forward without turning to one side.

bbe@Ezekiel:1:20 @Wherever the spirit was to go they went; and the wheels were lifted up by their side: for the spirit of the living beings was in the wheels.

bbe@Ezekiel:1:21 @When these went on, the others went; and when these came to rest, the others came to rest; and when these were lifted up from the earth, the wheels were lifted up by their side: for the spirit of the living beings was in the wheels.

bbe@Ezekiel:1:26 @And on the top of the arch which was over their heads was the form of a king's seat, like a sapphire stone; and on the form of the seat was the form of a man seated on it on high.

bbe@Ezekiel:1:27 @And I saw it coloured like electrum, with the look of fire in it and round it, going up from what seemed to be the middle of his body; and going down from what seemed to be the middle of his body I saw what was like fire, and there was a bright light shining round him.

bbe@Ezekiel:1:28 @Like the bow in the cloud on a day of rain, so was the light shining round him. And this is what the glory of the Lord was like. And when I saw it I went down on my face, and the voice of one talking came to my ears.

bbe@Ezekiel:2:2 @And at his words the spirit came into me and put me on my feet; and his voice came to my ears.

bbe@Ezekiel:2:9 @And looking, I saw a hand stretched out to me, and I saw the roll of a book in it;

bbe@Ezekiel:2:10 @And he put it open before me, and it had writing on the front and on the back; words of grief and sorrow and trouble were recorded in it.

bbe@Ezekiel:3:3 @And he said to me, Son of man, let your stomach make a meal of it and let your inside be full of this roll which I am giving you. Then I took it, and it was sweet as honey in my mouth.

bbe@Ezekiel:3:14 @And the wind, lifting me up, took me away: and I went in the heat of my spirit, and the hand of the Lord was strong on me.

bbe@Ezekiel:3:18 @When I say to the evil-doer, Death will certainly be your fate; and you give him no word of it and say nothing to make clear to the evil-doer the danger of his evil way, so that he may be safe; that same evil man will come to death in his evil-doing; but I will make you responsible for his blood.

bbe@Ezekiel:3:22 @And the hand of the Lord was on me there; and he said, Get up and go out into the valley and there I will have talk with you.

bbe@Ezekiel:3:23 @Then I got up and went out into the valley; and I saw the glory of the Lord resting there as I had seen it by the river Chebar; and I went down on my face.

bbe@Ezekiel:3:24 @Then the spirit came into me and put me on my feet; and he had talk with me and said to me, Go and keep yourself shut up inside your house.

bbe@Ezekiel:3:27 @But when I have talk with you I will make your mouth open, and you are to say to them, This is what the Lord has said: Let the hearer give ear; and as for him who will not, let him keep his ears shut: for they are an uncontrolled people.

bbe@Ezekiel:4:1 @And you, son of man, take a back and put it before you and on it make a picture of a town, even Jerusalem.

bbe@Ezekiel:4:2 @And make an attack on it, shutting it in, building strong places against it, and making high an earthwork against it; and put up tents against it, placing engines all round it for smashing down its walls.

bbe@Ezekiel:4:3 @And take a flat iron plate, and put it for a wall of iron between you and the town: and let your face be turned to it, and it will be shut in and you will make an attack on it. This will be a sign to the children of Israel.

bbe@Ezekiel:4:6 @And when these days are ended, turning on your right side, you are to take on yourself the sin of the children of Judah: forty days, a day for a year, I have had it fixed for you.

bbe@Ezekiel:4:7 @And let your face be turned to where Jerusalem is shut in, with your arm uncovered, and be a prophet against it.

bbe@Ezekiel:4:8 @And see, I will put bands on you; and you will be stretched out without turning from one side to the other till the days of your attack are ended.

bbe@Ezekiel:4:9 @And take for yourself wheat and barley and different sorts of grain, and put them in one vessel and make bread for yourself from them; all the days when you are stretched on your side it will be your food.

bbe@Ezekiel:4:10 @And you are to take your food by weight, twenty shekels a day: you are to take it at regular times

bbe@Ezekiel:4:11 @And you are to take water by measure, the sixth part of a hin: you are to take it at regular times.

bbe@Ezekiel:4:12 @And let your food be barley cakes, cooking it before their eyes with the waste which comes out of a man.

bbe@Ezekiel:4:15 @Then he said to me, See, I have given you cow's waste in place of man's waste, and you will make your bread ready on it.

bbe@Ezekiel:4:16 @And he said to me, Son of man, see, I will take away from Jerusalem her necessary bread: they will take their bread by weight and with care, measuring out their drinking-water with fear and wonder:

bbe@Ezekiel:5:1 @And you, son of man, take a sharp sword, using it like a haircutter's blade, and making it go over your head and the hair of your chin: and take scales for separating the hair by weight.

bbe@Ezekiel:5:2 @You are to have a third part burned with fire inside the town, when the days of the attack are ended; and a third part you are to take and give blows with the sword round about it; and give a third part for the wind to take away, and let loose a sword after them.

bbe@Ezekiel:5:11 @For this cause, by my life, says the Lord, because you have made my holy place unclean with all your hated things and all your disgusting ways, you will become disgusting to me; my eye will have no mercy and I will have no pity.

bbe@Ezekiel:5:15 @And you will be a name of shame and a cause of bitter words, an example and a wonder to the nations round about you, when I give effect to my judging among you in wrath and in passion and in burning protests: I the Lord have said it:

bbe@Ezekiel:5:17 @And I will send on you need of food and evil beasts, and they will be a cause of loss to you; and disease and violent death will go through you; and I will send the sword on you: I the Lord have said it.

bbe@Ezekiel:6:11 @This is what the Lord has said: Give blows with your hand, stamping with your foot, and say, O sorrow! because of all the evil and disgusting ways of the children of Israel: for death will overtake them by the sword and through need of food and by disease.

bbe@Ezekiel:7:4 @My eye will not have mercy on you, and I will have no pity: but I will send the punishment of your ways on you, and your disgusting works will be among you: and you will be certain that I am the Lord.

bbe@Ezekiel:7:5 @This is what the Lord has said: An evil, even one evil; see, it is coming.

bbe@Ezekiel:7:6 @An end has come, the end has come; see, it is coming on you.

bbe@Ezekiel:7:7 @The crowning time has come on you, O people of the land: the time has come, the day is near; the day will not be slow in coming, it will not keep back.

bbe@Ezekiel:7:8 @Now, in a little time, I will let loose my passion on you, and give full effect to my wrath against you, judging you for your ways, and sending punishment on you for all your disgusting works.

bbe@Ezekiel:7:9 @My eye will not have mercy, and I will have no pity: I will send on you the punishment of your ways, and your disgusting works will be among you; and you will see that I am the Lord who gives punishment.

bbe@Ezekiel:7:10 @See, the day; see, it is coming: the crowning time has gone out; the twisted way is flowering, pride has put out buds.

bbe@Ezekiel:7:11 @Violent behaviour has been lifted up into a rod of evil; it will not be slow in coming, it will not keep back.

bbe@Ezekiel:7:17 @All hands will be feeble and all knees without strength, like water.

bbe@Ezekiel:7:19 @They will put out their silver into the streets, and their gold will be as an unclean thing; their silver and their gold will not be able to keep them safe in the day of the wrath of the Lord; they will not get their desire or have food for their need: because it has been the cause of their falling into sin.

bbe@Ezekiel:7:20 @As for their beautiful ornament, they had put it on high, and had made the images of their disgusting and hated things in it: for this cause I have made it an unclean thing to them.

bbe@Ezekiel:7:21 @And I will give it into the hands of men from strange lands who will take it by force, and to the evil-doers of the earth to have for themselves; and they will make it unholy.

bbe@Ezekiel:7:22 @And my face will be turned away from them, and they will make my secret place unholy: violent men will go into it and make it unholy.

bbe@Ezekiel:7:27 @The king will give himself up to sorrow, and the ruler will be clothed with wonder, and the hands of the people of the land will be troubled: I will give them punishment for their ways, judging them as it is right for them to be judged; and they will be certain that I am the Lord.

bbe@Ezekiel:8:11 @And before them seventy of the responsible men of the children of Israel had taken their places, every man with a vessel for burning perfumes in his hand, and in the middle of them was Jaazaniah, the son of Shaphan; and a cloud of smoke went up from the burning perfume.

bbe@Ezekiel:8:16 @And he took me into the inner square of the Lord's house, and at the door of the Temple of the Lord, between the covered way and the altar, there were about twenty-five men with their backs turned to the Temple of the Lord and their faces turned to the east; and they were worshipping the sun, turning to the east.

bbe@Ezekiel:8:17 @Then he said to me, Have you seen this, O son of man? is it a small thing to the children of Judah that they do the disgusting things which they are doing here? for they have made the land full of violent behaviour, making me angry again and again: and see, they put the branch to my nose.

bbe@Ezekiel:8:18 @For this reason I will let loose my wrath: my eye will not have mercy, and I will have no pity

bbe@Ezekiel:9:2 @And six men came from the way of the higher doorway looking to the north, every man with his axe in his hand: and one man among them was clothed in linen, with a writer's inkpot at his side. And they went in and took their places by the brass altar.

bbe@Ezekiel:9:3 @And the glory of the God of Israel had gone up from the winged ones on which it was resting, to the doorstep of the house. And crying out to the man clothed in linen who had the writer's inkpot at his side,

bbe@Ezekiel:9:4 @The Lord said to him, Go through the town, through the middle of Jerusalem, and put a mark on the brows of the men who are sorrowing and crying for all the disgusting things which are done in it.

bbe@Ezekiel:9:5 @And to these he said in my hearing, Go through the town after him using your axes: do not let your eyes have mercy, and have no pity:

bbe@Ezekiel:9:6 @Give up to destruction old men and young men and virgins, little children and women: but do not come near any man who has the mark on him: and make a start at my holy place. So they made a start with the old men who were before the house.

bbe@Ezekiel:9:10 @And as for me, my eye will not have mercy, and I will have no pity, but I will send the punishment of their ways on their heads.

bbe@Ezekiel:10:7 @And stretching out his hand to the fire which was between the winged ones, he took some of it and went out.

bbe@Ezekiel:10:11 @When they were moving, they went on their four sides without turning; they went after the head in the direction in which it was looking; they went without turning.

bbe@Ezekiel:10:17 @When they were at rest in their place, these were at rest; when they were lifted up, these went up with them: for the spirit of life was in them.

bbe@Ezekiel:10:19 @And the winged ones, lifting up their wings, went up from the earth before my eyes, with the wheels by their side: and they came to rest at the east doorway of the Lord's house; and the glory of the God of Israel was over them on high.

bbe@Ezekiel:10:20 @This is the living being which I saw under the God of Israel by the river Chebar; and it was clear to me that they were the winged ones.

bbe@Ezekiel:11:5 @And the spirit of the Lord came on me, and he said to me, Say, These are the words of the Lord: This is what you have said, O children of Israel; what comes into your mind is clear to me.

bbe@Ezekiel:11:6 @You have made great the number of your dead in this town, you have made its streets full of dead men.

bbe@Ezekiel:11:7 @For this reason the Lord has said: Your dead whom you have put down in its streets, they are the flesh, and this town is the cooking-pot: but I will make you come out from inside it.

bbe@Ezekiel:11:11 @This town will not be your cooking-pot, and you will not be the flesh inside it; I will be your judge at the limit of the land of Israel;

bbe@Ezekiel:11:13 @Now while I was saying these things, death came to Pelatiah, the son of Benaiah. Then falling down on my face and crying out with a loud voice, I said, Ah, Lord! will you put an end to all the rest of Israel?

bbe@Ezekiel:11:15 @Son of man, your countrymen, your relations, and all the children of Israel, all of them, are those to whom the people of Jerusalem have said, Go far from the Lord; this land is given to us for a heritage:

bbe@Ezekiel:11:16 @For this reason say, This is what the Lord has said: Though I have had them moved far off among the nations, and though I have sent them wandering among the countries, still I have been a safe place for them for a little time in the countries where they have come.

bbe@Ezekiel:11:18 @And they will come there, and take away all the hated and disgusting things from it.

bbe@Ezekiel:11:19 @And I will give them a new heart, and I will put a new spirit in them; and I will take the heart of stone out of their flesh and give them a heart of flesh:

bbe@Ezekiel:12:3 @And you, O son of man, by day, before their eyes, get ready the vessels of one who is taken away, and go away from your place to another place before their eyes: it may be that they will see, though they are an uncontrolled people.

bbe@Ezekiel:12:5 @Make a hole in the wall, before their eyes, and go out through it.

bbe@Ezekiel:12:6 @And before their eyes, take your goods on your back and go out in the dark; go with your face covered: for I have made you a sign to the children of Israel.

bbe@Ezekiel:12:7 @And I did as I was ordered: I took out my vessels by day, like those of one who is taken away, and in the evening I made a hole through the wall with a tent-pin; and in the dark I went out, taking my things on my back before their eyes.

bbe@Ezekiel:12:10 @You are to say to them, This is what the Lord has said: This word has to do with the ruler in Jerusalem and all the children of Israel in it.

bbe@Ezekiel:12:11 @Say, I am your sign: as I have done, so will it be done to them: they will go away as prisoners.

bbe@Ezekiel:12:13 @And my net will be stretched out on him, and he will be taken in my cords: and I will take him to Babylon to the land of the Chaldaeans; but he will not see it, and there death will come to him

bbe@Ezekiel:12:18 @Son of man, take your food with shaking fear, and your water with trouble and care;

bbe@Ezekiel:12:19 @And say to the people of the land, This is what the Lord has said about the people of Jerusalem and the land of Israel: They will take their food with care and their drink with wonder, so that all the wealth of their land may be taken from it because of the violent ways of the people living in it.

bbe@Ezekiel:12:23 @For this cause say to them, This is what the Lord has said: I have made this saying come to an end, and it will no longer be used as a common saying in Israel; but say to them, The days are near, and the effect of every vision.

bbe@Ezekiel:12:25 @For I am the Lord; I will say the word and what I say I will do; it will not be put off: for in your days, O uncontrolled people, I will say the word and do it, says the Lord.

bbe@Ezekiel:13:3 @This is what the Lord has said: A curse on the foolish prophets who go after the spirit which is in them and have seen nothing!

bbe@Ezekiel:13:6 @They have seen visions without substance and made use of secret arts, who say, The Lord has said; and the Lord has not sent them: hoping that the word would have effect.

bbe@Ezekiel:13:7 @Have you not seen a vision without substance and have you not falsely made use of secret arts, when you say, The Lord has said; though I have said nothing?

bbe@Ezekiel:13:8 @So this is what the Lord has said: Because your words are without substance and your visions are false, see, I am against you, says the Lord.

bbe@Ezekiel:13:9 @And my hand will be against the prophets who see visions without substance and who make false use of secret arts: they will not be in the secret of my people, and they will not be recorded in the list of the children of Israel, and they will not come into the land of Israel; and it will be clear to you that I am the Lord.

bbe@Ezekiel:13:10 @Because, even because they have been guiding my people into error, saying, Peace; when there is no peace; and in the building of a division wall they put whitewash on it:

bbe@Ezekiel:13:11 @Say to those who put whitewash on it, There will be an overflowing shower; and you, O ice-drops, will come raining down; and it will be broken in two by the storm-wind.

bbe@Ezekiel:13:12 @And when the wall has come down, will they not say to you, Where is the whitewash which you put on it?

bbe@Ezekiel:13:13 @For this reason, the Lord has said: I will have it broken in two by a storm-wind in my passion; and there will be an overflowing shower in my wrath, and you, O ice-drops, will come raining angrily down.

bbe@Ezekiel:13:14 @So I will let the wall, which you were covering with whitewash, be broken down; I will have it levelled to the earth so that its base is uncovered: it will come down, and destruction will come on you with it; and it will be clear to you that I am the Lord.

bbe@Ezekiel:13:15 @So I will let loose my passion on the wall in full measure, and on those who put whitewash on it; and I will say to you, Where is the wall, and where are those who put whitewash on it?

bbe@Ezekiel:13:18 @This is what the Lord has said: A curse is on the women who are stitching bands on all arms and putting veils on the heads of those of every size, so that they may go after souls! Will you go after the souls of my people and keep yourselves safe from death?

bbe@Ezekiel:13:19 @And you have put me to shame among my people for a little barley and some bits of bread, sending death on souls for whom there is no cause of death, and keeping those souls living who have no right to life, by the false words you say to my people who give ear to what is false.

bbe@Ezekiel:13:20 @For this cause the Lord has said: See, I am against your bands with which you go after souls, and I will violently take them off their arms; and I will let loose the souls, even the souls whom you go after freely.

bbe@Ezekiel:13:22 @Because with your false words you have given pain to the heart of the upright man when I had not made him sad; in order to make strong the hands of the evil-doer so that he may not be turned from his evil way and get life:

bbe@Ezekiel:14:4 @For this cause say to them, These are the words of the Lord: Every man of Israel who has taken his false god into his heart, and put before his face the sin which is the cause of his fall, and comes to the prophet; I the Lord will give him an answer by myself in agreement with the number of his false gods;

bbe@Ezekiel:14:9 @And if the prophet, tricked by deceit, says anything, it is I the Lord by whom he has been tricked, and I will put out my hand against him, and he will be cut off from among my people Israel.

bbe@Ezekiel:14:11 @So that the children of Israel may no longer go wandering away from me, or make themselves unclean with all their wrongdoing; but they will be my people, and I will be their God, says the Lord.

bbe@Ezekiel:14:13 @Son of man, when a land, sinning against me, does wrong, and my hand is stretched out against it, and the support of its bread is broken, and I make it short of food, cutting off man and beast from it:

bbe@Ezekiel:14:14 @Even if these three men, Noah, Daniel, and Job, were in it, only themselves would they keep safe by their righteousness, says the Lord.

bbe@Ezekiel:14:15 @Or if I send evil beasts through the land causing destruction and making it waste, so that no man may go through because of the beasts:

bbe@Ezekiel:14:16 @Even if these three men were in it, by my life, says the Lord, they would not keep safe their sons or daughters, but only themselves, and the land would be made waste.

bbe@Ezekiel:14:17 @Or if I send a sword against that land, and say, Sword, go through the land, cutting off from it man and beast:

bbe@Ezekiel:14:18 @Even if these three men were in it, by my life, says the Lord, they would not keep safe their sons or daughters, but only themselves.

bbe@Ezekiel:14:19 @Or if I send disease into that land, letting loose my wrath on it in blood, cutting off from it man and beast:

bbe@Ezekiel:14:20 @Even if Noah, Daniel, and Job were in it, by my life, says the Lord, they would not keep son or daughter safe; only themselves would they keep safe through their righteousness.

bbe@Ezekiel:14:21 @For this is what the Lord has said: How much more when I send my four bitter punishments on Jerusalem, the sword and need of food and evil beasts and disease, cutting off from it man and beast?

bbe@Ezekiel:14:22 @But truly, there will still be a small band who will be safe, even sons and daughters: and they will come out to you, and you will see their ways and their doings: and you will be comforted about the evil which I have sent on Jerusalem, even about everything I have sent on it.

bbe@Ezekiel:14:23 @They will give you comfort when you see their ways and their doings: and you will be certain that not for nothing have I done all the things I have done in it, says the Lord.

bbe@Ezekiel:15:3 @Will its wood be used for any work? do men make of it a pin for hanging any vessel on?

bbe@Ezekiel:15:4 @See, it is put into the fire for burning: the fire has made a meal of its two ends and the middle part of it is burned; is it good for any work?

bbe@Ezekiel:15:5 @Truly, before it was cut down, it was not used for any purpose: how much less, when the fire has made a meal of it and it is burned, will it be made into anything?

bbe@Ezekiel:15:7 @And my face will be turned against them; and though they have come out of the fire they will be burned up by it; and it will be clear to you that I am the Lord when my face is turned against them.

bbe@Ezekiel:16:3 @And say, This is what the Lord has said to Jerusalem: Your start and your birth was from the land of the Canaanite; an Amorite was your father and your mother was a Hittite.

bbe@Ezekiel:16:5 @No eye had pity on you to do any of these things to you or to be kind to you; but you were put out into the open country, because your life was hated at the time of your birth.

bbe@Ezekiel:16:7 @And be increased in number like the buds of the field; and you were increased and became great, and you came to the time of love: your breasts were formed and your hair was long; but you were uncovered and without clothing.

bbe@Ezekiel:16:8 @Now when I went past you, looking at you, I saw that your time was the time of love; and I put my skirts over you, covering your unclothed body: and I gave you my oath and made an agreement with you, says the Lord, and you became mine.

bbe@Ezekiel:16:9 @Then I had you washed with water, washing away all your blood and rubbing you with oil.

bbe@Ezekiel:16:10 @And I had you clothed with needlework, and put leather shoes on your feet, folding fair linen about you and covering you with silk.

bbe@Ezekiel:16:11 @And I made you fair with ornaments and put jewels on your hands and a chain on your neck.

bbe@Ezekiel:16:13 @So you were made beautiful with gold and silver; and your clothing was of the best linen and silk and needlework; your food was the best meal and honey and oil: and you were very beautiful.

bbe@Ezekiel:16:15 @But you put your faith in the fact that you were beautiful, acting like a loose woman because you were widely talked of, and offering your cheap love to everyone who went by, whoever it might be.

bbe@Ezekiel:16:16 @And you took your robes and made high places for yourself ornamented with every colour, acting like a loose woman on them, without shame or fear.

bbe@Ezekiel:16:17 @And you took the fair jewels, my silver and gold which I had given to you, and made for yourself male images, acting like a loose woman with them;

bbe@Ezekiel:16:19 @And my bread which I gave you, the best meal and oil and honey which I gave you for your food, you put it before them for a sweet smell, says the Lord.

bbe@Ezekiel:16:22 @And in all your disgusting and false behaviour you had no memory of your early days, when you were uncovered and without clothing, stretched out in your blood.

bbe@Ezekiel:16:23 @And it came about, after all your evil-doing, says the Lord,

bbe@Ezekiel:16:26 @And you went with the Egyptians, your neighbours, great of flesh; increasing your loose ways, moving me to wrath.

bbe@Ezekiel:16:28 @And you went with the Assyrians, because of your desire which was without measure; you were acting like a loose woman with them, and still you had not enough.

bbe@Ezekiel:16:36 @This is what the Lord has said: Because your unclean behaviour was let loose and your body uncovered in your loose ways with your lovers and with your disgusting images, and for the blood of your children which you gave to them;

bbe@Ezekiel:16:37 @For this cause I will get together all your lovers with whom you have taken your pleasure, and all those to whom you have given your love, with all those who were hated by you; I will even make them come together against you on every side, and I will have you uncovered before them so that they may see your shame.

bbe@Ezekiel:16:38 @And you will be judged by me as women are judged who have been untrue to their husbands and have taken life; and I will let loose against you passion and bitter feeling.

bbe@Ezekiel:16:40 @And they will get together a meeting against you, stoning you with stones and wounding you with their swords.

bbe@Ezekiel:16:41 @And they will have you burned with fire, sending punishments on you before the eyes of great numbers of women; and I will put an end to your loose ways, and you will no longer give payment.

bbe@Ezekiel:16:42 @And the heat of my wrath against you will have an end, and my bitter feeling will be turned away from you, and I will be quiet and will be angry no longer.

bbe@Ezekiel:16:43 @Because you have not kept in mind the days when you were young, but have been troubling me with all these things; for this reason I will make the punishment of your ways come on your head, says the Lord, because you have done this evil thing in addition to all your disgusting acts.

bbe@Ezekiel:16:44 @See, in every common saying about you it will be said, As the mother is, so is her daughter.

bbe@Ezekiel:16:45 @You are the daughter of your mother whose soul is turned in disgust from her husband and her children; and you are the sister of your sisters who were turned in disgust from their husbands and their children: your mother was a Hittite and your father an Amorite.

bbe@Ezekiel:16:47 @Still you have not gone in their ways or done the disgusting things which they have done; but, as if that was only a little thing, you have gone deeper in evil than they in all your ways.

bbe@Ezekiel:16:53 @And I will let their fate be changed, the fate of Sodom and her daughters, and the fate of Samaria and her daughters, and your fate with theirs.

bbe@Ezekiel:16:55 @And your sisters, Sodom and her daughters, will go back to their first condition, and Samaria and her daughters will go back to their first condition, and you and your daughters will go back to your first condition.

bbe@Ezekiel:16:60 @But still I will keep in mind the agreement made with you in the days when you were young, and I will make with you an eternal agreement.

bbe@Ezekiel:16:61 @Then at the memory of your ways you will be overcome with shame, when I take your sisters, the older and the younger, and give them to you for daughters, but not by your agreement.

bbe@Ezekiel:16:62 @And I will make my agreement with you; and you will be certain that I am the Lord:

bbe@Ezekiel:17:3 @And say, This is what the Lord has said: A great eagle with great wings, full of long feathers of different colours, came to Lebanon, and took the top of the cedar:

bbe@Ezekiel:17:4 @Biting off the highest of its young branches, he took it to the land of Canaan, and put it in a town of traders.

bbe@Ezekiel:17:5 @And he took some of the seed of the land, planting it in fertile earth, placing it by great waters; he put it in like a willow-tree.

bbe@Ezekiel:17:6 @And its growth went on and it became a vine, low and widely stretching, whose branches were turned to him and its roots were under him: so it became a vine, putting out branches and young leaves.

bbe@Ezekiel:17:7 @And there was another eagle with great wings and thick feathers: and now this vine, pushing out its roots to him, sent out its branches in his direction from the bed where it was planted, so that he might give it water.

bbe@Ezekiel:17:8 @He had it planted in a good field by great waters so that it might put out branches and have fruit and be a strong vine.

bbe@Ezekiel:17:9 @Say, This is what the Lord has said: Will it do well? will he not have its roots pulled up and its branches cut off, so that all its young leaves may become dry and it may be pulled up by its roots?

bbe@Ezekiel:17:10 @And if it is planted will it do well? will it not become quite dry at the touch of the east wind, drying up in the bed where it was planted?

bbe@Ezekiel:17:12 @Say now to this uncontrolled people, Are these things not clear to you? Say to them, See, the king of Babylon came to Jerusalem and took its king and its rulers away with him to Babylon;

bbe@Ezekiel:17:13 @And he took one of the sons of the king and made an agreement with him; and he put him under an oath, and took away the great men of the land:

bbe@Ezekiel:17:14 @So that the kingdom might be made low with no power of lifting itself up, but might keep his agreement to be his servants.

bbe@Ezekiel:17:15 @But he went against his authority in sending representatives to Egypt to get from them horses and a great army. Will he do well? will he be safe who does such things? if the agreement is broken will he be safe?

bbe@Ezekiel:17:16 @By my life, says the Lord, truly in the place of the king who made him king, whose oath he put on one side and let his agreement with him be broken, even in Babylon he will come to his death.

bbe@Ezekiel:17:17 @And Pharaoh with his strong army and great forces will be no help to him in the war, when they put up earthworks and make strong walls for the cutting off of lives:

bbe@Ezekiel:17:18 @For he put his oath on one side in letting the agreement be broken; and though he had given his hand to it, he did all these things; he will not get away safe.

bbe@Ezekiel:17:21 @All his best fighting-men will be put to the sword, and the rest will be sent away to every wind: and you will be certain that I the Lord have said it.

bbe@Ezekiel:17:22 @This is what the Lord has said: Further, I will take the highest top of the cedar and put it in the earth; cutting off from the highest of his young branches a soft one, I will have it planted on a high and great mountain;

bbe@Ezekiel:17:23 @It will be planted on the high mountain of Israel: it will put out branches and have fruit and be a fair cedar: under it all birds of every sort will make their living-place, resting in the shade of its branches

bbe@Ezekiel:17:24 @And it will be clear to all the trees of the field that I the Lord have made low the high tree and made high the low tree, drying up the green tree and making the dry tree full of growth; I the Lord have said it and have done it.

bbe@Ezekiel:18:2 @Why do you make use of this saying about the land of Israel, The fathers have been tasting bitter grapes and the children's teeth are on edge?

bbe@Ezekiel:18:6 @And has not taken flesh with the blood for food, or given worship to the images of the children of Israel; if he has not had connection with his neighbour's wife, or come near to a woman at the time when she is unclean;

bbe@Ezekiel:18:7 @And has done no wrong to any, but has given back to the debtor what is his, and has taken no one's goods by force, and has given food to him who was in need of it, and clothing to him who was without it;

bbe@Ezekiel:18:8 @And has not given his money out at interest or taken great profits, and, turning his hand from evil-doing, has kept faith between man and man,

bbe@Ezekiel:18:11 @Who has taken flesh with the blood as food, and has had connection with his neighbour's wife,

bbe@Ezekiel:18:13 @And has given out his money at interest and taken great profits: he will certainly not go on living: he has done all these disgusting things: death will certainly be his fate; his blood will be on him.

bbe@Ezekiel:18:15 @Who has not taken the flesh with the blood for food, or given worship to the images of the children of Israel, and has not had connection with his neighbour's wife,

bbe@Ezekiel:18:16 @Or done wrong to any, or taken anything from one in his debt, or taken goods by force, but has given food to him who was in need of it, and clothing to him who was without it;

bbe@Ezekiel:18:17 @Who has kept his hand from evil-doing and has not taken interest or great profits, who has done my orders and been guided by my rules: he will certainly not be put to death for the evil-doing of his father; life will certainly be his.

bbe@Ezekiel:18:31 @Put away all your evil-doing in which you have done sin; and make for yourselves a new heart and a new spirit: why are you desiring death, O children of Israel?

bbe@Ezekiel:19:2 @What was your mother? Like a she-lion among lions, stretched out among the young lions she gave food to her little ones.

bbe@Ezekiel:19:3 @And one of her little ones came to growth under her care, and became a young lion, learning to go after beasts for his food; and he took men for his meat.

bbe@Ezekiel:19:4 @And the nations had news of him; he was taken in the hole they had made: and, pulling him with hooks, they took him into the land of Egypt.

bbe@Ezekiel:19:5 @Now when she saw that her hope was made foolish and gone, she took another of her little ones and made him into a young lion.

bbe@Ezekiel:19:7 @And he sent destruction on their widows and made waste their towns; and the land and everything in it became waste because of the loud sound of his voice.

bbe@Ezekiel:19:9 @They made him a prisoner with hooks, and took him to the king of Babylon; they put him in the strong place so that his voice might be sounding no longer on the mountains of Israel.

bbe@Ezekiel:19:11 @And she had a strong rod for a rod of authority for the rulers, and it became tall among the clouds and it was seen lifted up among the number of its branches.

bbe@Ezekiel:19:12 @But she was uprooted in burning wrath, and made low on the earth; the east wind came, drying her up, and her branches were broken off; her strong rod became dry, the fire made a meal of it.

bbe@Ezekiel:19:14 @And fire has gone out from her rod, causing the destruction of her branches, so that there is no strong rod in her to be the ruler's rod of authority. This is a song of grief, and it was for a song of grief.

bbe@Ezekiel:20:1 @Now it came about in the seventh year, in the fifth month, on the tenth day of the month, that certain of the responsible men of Israel came to get directions from the Lord and were seated before me.

bbe@Ezekiel:20:5 @And say to them, This is what the Lord has said: In the day when I took Israel for myself, when I made an oath to the seed of the family of Jacob, and I gave them knowledge of myself in the land of Egypt, saying to them with an oath, I am the Lord your God;

bbe@Ezekiel:20:6 @In that day I gave my oath to take them out of the land of Egypt into a land which I had been searching out for them, a land flowing with milk and honey, the glory of all lands:

bbe@Ezekiel:20:7 @And I said to them, Let every man among you put away the disgusting things to which his eyes are turned, and do not make yourselves unclean with the images of Egypt; I am the Lord your God.

bbe@Ezekiel:20:9 @And I was acting for the honour of my name, so that it might not be made unclean before the eyes of the nations among whom they were, and before whose eyes I gave them knowledge of myself, by taking them out of the land of Egypt.

bbe@Ezekiel:20:12 @And further, I gave them my Sabbaths, to be a sign between me and them, so that it might be clear that I, who make them holy, am the Lord

bbe@Ezekiel:20:14 @And I was acting for the honour of my name, so that it might not be made unclean in the eyes of the nations, before whose eyes I had taken them out.

bbe@Ezekiel:20:15 @And further, I gave my oath to them in the waste land, that I would not take them into the land which I had given them, a land flowing with milk and honey, the glory of all lands;

bbe@Ezekiel:20:17 @But still my eye had pity on them and I kept them from destruction and did not put an end to them completely in the waste land.

bbe@Ezekiel:20:18 @And I said to their children in the waste land, Do not be guided by the rules of your fathers or keep their orders or make yourselves unclean with their images:

bbe@Ezekiel:20:20 @And keep my Sabbaths holy; and they will be a sign between me and you so that it may be clear to you that I am the Lord your God.

bbe@Ezekiel:20:22 @And I was acting for the honour of my name, so that it might not be made unclean in the eyes of the nations, before whose eyes I had taken them out.

bbe@Ezekiel:20:29 @Then I said to them, What is this high place where you go to no purpose? And it is named Bamah to this day.

bbe@Ezekiel:20:31 @And when you give your offerings, causing your sons to go through the fire, you make yourselves unclean with all your images to this day; and will you come to me for directions, O children of Israel? By my life, says the Lord, you will get no direction from me.

bbe@Ezekiel:20:33 @By my life, says the Lord, truly, with a strong hand and with an outstretched arm and with burning wrath let loose, I will be King over you:

bbe@Ezekiel:20:34 @And I will take you out from the peoples and get you together out of the countries where you are wandering, with a strong hand and with an outstretched arm and with burning wrath let loose:

bbe@Ezekiel:20:35 @And I will take you into the waste land of the peoples, and there I will take up the cause with you face to face.

bbe@Ezekiel:20:36 @As I took up the cause with your fathers in the waste land of the land of Egypt, so will I take up the cause with you says the Lord.

bbe@Ezekiel:20:40 @For in my holy mountain, in the high mountain of Israel, says the Lord, there all the children of Israel, all of them, will be my servants in the land; there I will take pleasure in them, and there I will be worshipped with your offerings and the first-fruits of the things you give, and with all your holy things.

bbe@Ezekiel:20:43 @And there, at the memory of your ways and of all the things you did to make yourselves unclean, you will have bitter hate for yourselves because of all the evil things you have done.

bbe@Ezekiel:20:47 @And say to the woodland of the South, Give ear to the words of the Lord: this is what the Lord has said: See, I will have a fire lighted in you, for the destruction of every green tree in you and every dry tree: the flaming flame will not be put out, and all faces from the south to the north will be burned by it.

bbe@Ezekiel:20:48 @And all flesh will see that I the Lord have had it lighted: it will not be put out.

bbe@Ezekiel:21:3 @And say to the land of Israel, These are the words of the Lord: See, I am against you, and I will take my sword out of its cover, cutting off from you the upright and the evil.

bbe@Ezekiel:21:4 @Because I am going to have the upright and the evil cut off from you, for this cause my sword will go out from its cover against all flesh from the south to the north:

bbe@Ezekiel:21:5 @And all flesh will see that I the Lord have taken my sword out of its cover: and it will never go back.

bbe@Ezekiel:21:6 @Make sounds of grief, son of man; with body bent and a bitter heart make sounds of grief before their eyes.

bbe@Ezekiel:21:7 @And when they say to you, Why are you making sounds of grief? then say, Because of the news, for it is coming: and every heart will become soft, and all hands will be feeble, and every spirit will be burning low, and all knees will be turned to water: see, it is coming and it will be done, says the Lord.

bbe@Ezekiel:21:10 @It has been made sharp to give death; it is polished so that it may be like a thunder-flame:...

bbe@Ezekiel:21:11 @And I have given it to the polisher so that it may be taken in the hand: he has made the sword sharp, he has had it polished, to put it into the hand of him who gives death.

bbe@Ezekiel:21:12 @Give loud cries and make sounds of grief, O son of man: for it has come on my people, it has come on all the rulers of Israel: fear of the sword has come on my people: for this cause give signs of grief.

bbe@Ezekiel:21:14 @So then, son of man, be a prophet, and put your hands together with a loud sound, and give two blows with the sword, and even three; it is the sword of those who are wounded, even the sword of the wounded; the great sword which goes round about them

bbe@Ezekiel:21:17 @And I will put my hands together with a loud sound, and I will let my wrath have rest: I the Lord have said it.

bbe@Ezekiel:21:27 @I will let it be overturned, overturned, overturned: this will not be again till he comes whose right it is; and I will give it to him.

bbe@Ezekiel:21:28 @And you, son of man, say as a prophet, This is what the Lord has said about the children of Ammon and about their shame: Say, A sword, even a sword let loose, polished for death, to make it shining so that it may be like a flame:

bbe@Ezekiel:21:29 @Your vision is to no purpose, your use of secret arts gives a false answer, to put it on the necks of evil-doers who are wounded to death, whose day has come, in the time of the last punishment.

bbe@Ezekiel:21:32 @You will be food for the fire; your blood will be drained out in the land; there will be no more memory of you: for I the Lord have said it.

bbe@Ezekiel:22:7 @In you they have had no respect for father and mother; in you they have been cruel to the man from a strange land; in you they have done wrong to the child without a father and to the widow.

bbe@Ezekiel:22:8 @You have made little of my holy things, and have made my Sabbaths unclean.

bbe@Ezekiel:22:9 @In you there are men who say evil of others, causing death; in you they have taken the flesh with the blood for food; in your streets they have put evil designs into effect.

bbe@Ezekiel:22:11 @And in you one man has done what was disgusting with his neighbour's wife; and another has made his daughter-in-law unclean; and another has done wrong to his sister, his father's daughter.

bbe@Ezekiel:22:12 @In you they have taken rewards as the price of blood; you have taken interest and great profits, and you have taken away your neighbours' goods by force, and have not kept me in mind, says the Lord.

bbe@Ezekiel:22:14 @Will your heart be high or your hands strong in the days when I take you in hand? I the Lord have said it and will do it.

bbe@Ezekiel:22:16 @And you will be made low before the eyes of the nations; and it will be clear to you that I am the Lord

bbe@Ezekiel:22:18 @Son of man, the children of Israel have become like the poorest sort of waste metal to me: they are all silver and brass and tin and iron and lead mixed with waste.

bbe@Ezekiel:22:20 @As they put silver and brass and iron and lead and tin together inside the oven, heating up the fire on it to make it soft; so will I get you together in my wrath and in my passion, and, heating the fire with my breath, will make you soft.

bbe@Ezekiel:22:21 @Yes, I will take you, breathing on you the fire of my wrath, and you will become soft in it.

bbe@Ezekiel:22:22 @As silver becomes soft in the oven, so you will become soft in it; and you will be certain that I the Lord have let loose my passion on you.

bbe@Ezekiel:22:26 @Her priests have been acting violently against my law; they have made my holy things unclean: they have made no division between what is holy and what is common, and they have not made it clear that the unclean is different from the clean, and their eyes have been shut to my Sabbaths, and I am not honoured among them.

bbe@Ezekiel:22:27 @Her rulers in her are like wolves violently taking their food; putting men to death and causing the destruction of souls, so that they may get their profit.

bbe@Ezekiel:22:28 @And her prophets have been using whitewash, seeing foolish visions and making false use of secret arts, saying, This is what the Lord has said, when the Lord has said nothing.

bbe@Ezekiel:22:30 @And I was looking for a man among them who would make up the wall and take his station in the broken place before me for the land, so that I might not send destruction on it: but there was no one.

bbe@Ezekiel:23:7 @And she gave her unclean love to them, all of them the noblest men of Assyria: and she made herself unclean with the images of all who were desired by her.

bbe@Ezekiel:23:10 @By these her shame was uncovered: they took her sons and daughters and put her to death with the sword: and she became a cause of wonder to women; for they gave her the punishment which was right.

bbe@Ezekiel:23:15 @With bands round their bodies and with head-dresses hanging round their heads, all of them looking like rulers, like the Babylonians, the land of whose birth is Chaldaea.

bbe@Ezekiel:23:17 @And the Babylonians came to her, into the bed of love, and made her unclean with their loose desire, and she became unclean with them, and her soul was turned from them.

bbe@Ezekiel:23:18 @So her loose behaviour was clearly seen and her shame uncovered: then my soul was turned from her as it had been turned from her sister

bbe@Ezekiel:23:19 @But still she went on the more with her loose behaviour, keeping in mind the early days when she had been a loose woman in the land of Egypt.

bbe@Ezekiel:23:23 @The Babylonians and all the Chaldaeans, Pekod and Shoa and Koa, and all the Assyrians with them: young men to be desired, captains and rulers all of them, and chiefs, her neighbours, all of them on horseback.

bbe@Ezekiel:23:24 @And they will come against you from the north on horseback, with war-carriages and a great band of peoples; they will put themselves in order against you with breastplate and body-cover and metal head-dress round about you: and I will make them your judges, and they will give their decision against you as seems right to them.

bbe@Ezekiel:23:25 @And my bitter feeling will be working against you, and they will take you in hand with passion; they will take away your nose and your ears, and the rest of you will be put to the sword: they will take your sons and daughters, and the rest of you will be burned up in the fire.

bbe@Ezekiel:23:29 @And they will take you in hand with hate, and take away all the fruit of your work, and let you be unveiled and without clothing: and the shame of your loose behaviour will be uncovered, your evil designs and your loose ways.

bbe@Ezekiel:23:30 @They will do these things to you because you have been untrue to me, and have gone after the nations, and have become unclean with their images.

bbe@Ezekiel:23:33 @You will be broken and full of sorrow, with the cup of wonder and destruction, with the cup of your sister Samaria.

bbe@Ezekiel:23:34 @And after drinking it and draining it out, you will take the last drops of it to the end, pulling off your breasts: for I have said it, says the Lord.

bbe@Ezekiel:23:37 @For she has been false to me, and blood is on her hands, and with her images she has been untrue; and more than this, she made her sons, whom she had by me, go through the fire to them to be burned up.

bbe@Ezekiel:23:39 @For when she had made an offering of her children to her images, she came into my holy place to make it unclean; see, this is what she has done inside my house.

bbe@Ezekiel:23:40 @And she even sent for men to come from far away, to whom a servant was sent, and they came: for whom she was washing her body and painting her eyes and making herself fair with ornaments.

bbe@Ezekiel:23:41 @And she took her seat on a great bed, with a table put ready before it on which she put my perfume and my oil.

bbe@Ezekiel:23:43 @Then I said... now she will go on with her loose ways.

bbe@Ezekiel:23:47 @And the meeting, after stoning her with stones, will put an end to her with their swords; they will put her sons and daughters to death and have her house burned up with fire.

bbe@Ezekiel:23:49 @And I will send on you the punishment of your evil ways, and you will be rewarded for your sins with your images: and you will be certain that I am the Lord.

bbe@Ezekiel:24:2 @Son of man, put down in writing this very day: The king of Babylon let loose the weight of his attack against Jerusalem on this very day.

bbe@Ezekiel:24:3 @And make a comparison for this uncontrolled people, and say to them, This is what the Lord has said: Put on the cooking-pot, put it on the fire and put water in it:

bbe@Ezekiel:24:4 @And get the bits together, the fat tail, every good part, the leg and the top part of it: make it full of the best bones.

bbe@Ezekiel:24:5 @Take the best of the flock, put much wood under it: see that its bits are boiling well; let the bones be cooked inside it.

bbe@Ezekiel:24:6 @For this is what the Lord has said: A curse is on the town of blood, the cooking-pot which is unclean inside, which has never been made clean! take out its bits; its fate is still to come on it.

bbe@Ezekiel:24:7 @For her blood is in her; she has put it on the open rock not draining it on to the earth so that it might be covered with dust;

bbe@Ezekiel:24:8 @In order that it might make wrath come up to give punishment, she has put her blood on the open rock, so that it may not be covered.

bbe@Ezekiel:24:12 @I have made myself tired to no purpose: still all the waste which is in her has not come out, it has an evil smell.

bbe@Ezekiel:24:13 @As for your unclean purpose: because I have been attempting to make you clean, but you have not been made clean from it, you will not be made clean till I have let loose my passion on you in full measure.

bbe@Ezekiel:24:14 @I the Lord have said the word and I will do it; I will not go back or have mercy, and my purpose will not be changed; in the measure of your ways and of your evil doings you will be judged, says the Lord.

bbe@Ezekiel:24:19 @And the people said to me, Will you not make clear to us the sense of these things; is it for us you do them?

bbe@Ezekiel:24:21 @Say to the people of Israel, The Lord has said, See, I will make my holy place unclean, the pride of your strength, the pleasure of your eyes, and the desire of your soul; and your sons and daughters, who did not come with you here, will be put to the sword.

bbe@Ezekiel:24:26 @In that day, one who has got away safe will come to you to give you news of it.

bbe@Ezekiel:25:3 @And say to the children of Ammon, Give ear to the word of the Lord; this is what the Lord has said: Because you said, Aha! against my holy place when it was made unclean, and against the land of Israel when it was made waste, and against the people of Judah when they were taken away as prisoners;

bbe@Ezekiel:25:4 @For this cause I will give you up to the children of the east for their heritage, and they will put their tent-circles in you and make their houses in you; they will take your fruit for their food and your milk for their drink.

bbe@Ezekiel:25:6 @For the Lord has said, Because you have made sounds of joy with your hands, stamping your feet, and have been glad, putting shame with all your soul on the land of Israel;

bbe@Ezekiel:25:10 @To the children of the east I have given her for a heritage, as well as the children of Ammon, so that there may be no memory of her among the nations:

bbe@Ezekiel:25:13 @The Lord has said, My hand will be stretched out against Edom, cutting off from it man and beast: and I will make it waste, from Teman even as far as Dedan they will be put to the sword.

bbe@Ezekiel:25:15 @This is what the Lord has said: Because the Philistines have taken payment, with the purpose of causing shame and destruction with unending hate;

bbe@Ezekiel:25:16 @The Lord has said, See, my hand will be stretched out against the Philistines, cutting off the Cherethites and sending destruction on the rest of the sea-land.

bbe@Ezekiel:25:17 @And I will take great payment from them with acts of wrath; and they will be certain that I am the Lord when I send my punishment on them.

bbe@Ezekiel:26:3 @For this cause the Lord has said, See, I am against you, O Tyre, and will send up a number of nations against you as the sea sends up its waves.

bbe@Ezekiel:26:4 @And they will give the walls of Tyre to destruction and have its towers broken: and I will take even her dust away from her, and make her an uncovered rock

bbe@Ezekiel:26:5 @She will be a place for the stretching out of nets in the middle of the sea; for I have said it, says the Lord: and her goods will be given over to the nations.

bbe@Ezekiel:26:7 @For this is what the Lord has said: See, I will send up from the north Nebuchadrezzar, king of Babylon, king of kings, against Tyre, with horses and war-carriages and with an army and great numbers of people.

bbe@Ezekiel:26:10 @Because of the number of his horses you will be covered with their dust: your walls will be shaking at the noise of the horsemen and of the wheels and of the war-carriages, when he comes through your doorways, as into a town which has been broken open.

bbe@Ezekiel:26:12 @They will take by force all your wealth and go off with the goods with which you do trade: they will have your walls broken down and all the houses of your desire given up to destruction: they will put your stones and your wood and your dust deep in the water.

bbe@Ezekiel:26:14 @I will make you an uncovered rock: you will be a place for the stretching out of nets; there will be no building you up again: for I the Lord have said it, says the Lord.

bbe@Ezekiel:26:16 @Then all the rulers of the sea will come down from their high seats, and put away their robes and take off their clothing of needlework: they will put on the clothing of grief, they will take their seats on the earth, shaking with fear every minute and overcome with wonder at you.

bbe@Ezekiel:26:18 @Now the sea-lands will be shaking in the day of your fall; and all the ships on the sea will be overcome with fear at your going.

bbe@Ezekiel:26:19 @For this is what the Lord has said: I will make you a waste town, like the towns which are unpeopled; when I make the deep come upon you, covering you with great waters.

bbe@Ezekiel:26:20 @Then I will make you go down with those who go down into the underworld, to the people of the past, causing your living-place to be in the deepest parts of the earth, in places long unpeopled, with those who go down into the deep, so that there will be no one living in you; and you will have no glory in the land of the living.

bbe@Ezekiel:27:3 @And say to Tyre, O you who are seated at the doorway of the sea, trading for the peoples with the great sea-lands, these are the words of the Lord: You, O Tyre, have said, I am a ship completely beautiful.

bbe@Ezekiel:27:6 @Of oak-trees from Bashan they have made your driving blades; they have made your floors of ivory and boxwood from the sea-lands of Kittim.

bbe@Ezekiel:27:7 @The best linen with needlework from Egypt was your sail, stretched out to be a flag for you; blue and purple from the sea-lands of Elishah gave you shade.

bbe@Ezekiel:27:9 @The responsible men of Gebal and its wise men were in you, making your boards watertight: all the ships of the sea with their seamen were in you trading in your goods.

bbe@Ezekiel:27:12 @Tarshish did business with you because of the great amount of your wealth; they gave silver, iron, tin, and lead for your goods.

bbe@Ezekiel:27:15 @The men of Rodan were your traders: a great number of sea-lands did business with you: they gave you horns of ivory and ebony as an offering.

bbe@Ezekiel:27:16 @Edom did business with you because of the great number of things which you made; they gave emeralds, purple, and needlework, and the best linen and coral and rubies for your goods.

bbe@Ezekiel:27:17 @Judah and the land of Israel were your traders; they gave grain of Minnith and sweet cakes and honey and oil and perfume for your goods.

bbe@Ezekiel:27:18 @Damascus did business with you because of the great amount of your wealth, with wine of Helbon and white wool.

bbe@Ezekiel:27:20 @Dedan did trade with you in cloths for the backs of horses.

bbe@Ezekiel:27:21 @Arabia and all the rulers of Kedar did business with you; in lambs and sheep and goats, in these they did business with you.

bbe@Ezekiel:27:22 @The traders of Sheba and Raamah did trade with you; they gave the best of all sorts of spices and all sorts of stones of great price and gold for your goods.

bbe@Ezekiel:27:24 @These were your traders in beautiful robes, in rolls of blue and needlework, and in chests of coloured cloth, corded with cords and made of cedar-wood, in them they did trade with you.

bbe@Ezekiel:27:27 @Your wealth and your goods, the things in which you do trade, your seamen and those guiding your ships, those who make your boards watertight, and those who do business with your goods, and all your men of war who are in you, with all who have come together in you, will go down into the heart of the seas in the day of your downfall.

bbe@Ezekiel:27:30 @And their voices will be sounding over you, and crying bitterly they will put dust on their heads, rolling themselves in the dust:

bbe@Ezekiel:27:31 @And they will have the hair of their heads cut off because of you, and will put haircloth on their bodies, weeping for you with bitter grief in their souls, even with bitter sorrow.

bbe@Ezekiel:27:33 @When your goods went out over the seas, you made numbers of peoples full; the wealth of the kings of the earth was increased with your great wealth and all your goods.

bbe@Ezekiel:27:34 @Now that you are broken by the seas in the deep waters, your goods and all your people will go down with you.

bbe@Ezekiel:27:35 @All the people of the sea-lands are overcome with wonder at you, and their kings are full of fear, their faces are troubled.

bbe@Ezekiel:28:10 @Your death will be the death of those who are without circumcision, by the hands of men from strange lands: for I have said it, says the Lord.

bbe@Ezekiel:28:14 @I gave you your place with the winged one; I put you on the mountain of God; you went up and down among the stones of fire.

bbe@Ezekiel:28:18 @By all your sin, even by your evil trading, you have made your holy places unclean; so I will make a fire come out from you, it will make a meal of you, and I will make you as dust on the earth before the eyes of all who see you.

bbe@Ezekiel:28:19 @All who have knowledge of you among the peoples will be overcome with wonder at you: you have become a thing of fear, and you will never be seen again.

bbe@Ezekiel:28:21 @Son of man, let your face be turned to Zidon, and be a prophet against it, and say,

bbe@Ezekiel:28:24 @And there will no longer be a plant with sharp points wounding the children of Israel, or a thorn troubling them among any who are round about them, who put shame on them; and they will be certain that I am the Lord.

bbe@Ezekiel:28:26 @And they will be safe there, building houses and planting vine-gardens and living without fear; when I have sent my punishments on all those who put shame on them round about them; and they will be certain that I am the Lord their God.

bbe@Ezekiel:29:3 @Say to them, These are the words of the Lord: See, I am against you, Pharaoh, king of Egypt, the great river-beast stretched out among his Nile streams, who has said, The Nile is mine, and I have made it for myself.

bbe@Ezekiel:29:4 @And I will put hooks in your mouth, and the fish of your streams will be hanging from your skin; and I will make you come up out of your streams, with all the fish of your streams hanging from your skin.

bbe@Ezekiel:29:6 @And it will be clear to all the people of Egypt that I am the Lord, because you have been a false support to the children of Israel.

bbe@Ezekiel:29:9 @And the land of Egypt will be an unpeopled waste; and they will be certain that I am the Lord: because he has said, The Nile is mine, and I made it.

bbe@Ezekiel:29:11 @No foot of man will go through it and no foot of beast, and it will be unpeopled for forty years.

bbe@Ezekiel:29:15 @It will be the lowest of the kingdoms, and never again will it be lifted up over the nations: I will make them small, so that they may not have rule over the nations.

bbe@Ezekiel:29:18 @Son of man, Nebuchadrezzar, king of Babylon, made his army do hard work against Tyre, and the hair came off every head and every arm was rubbed smooth: but he and his army got no payment out of Tyre for the hard work which he had done against it.

bbe@Ezekiel:30:3 @For the day is near, the day of the Lord is near, a day of cloud; it will be the time of the nations.

bbe@Ezekiel:30:5 @Ethiopia and Put and Lud and all the mixed people and Libya and the children of the land of the Cherethites will all be put to death with them by the sword.

bbe@Ezekiel:30:6 @This is what the Lord has said: The supporters of Egypt will have a fall, and the pride of her power will come down: from Migdol to Syene they will be put to the sword in it, says the Lord.

bbe@Ezekiel:30:9 @In that day men will go out quickly to take the news, causing fear in untroubled Ethiopia; and bitter pain will come on them as in the day of Egypt; for see, it is coming.

bbe@Ezekiel:30:11 @He and the people with him, causing fear among the nations, will be sent for the destruction of the land; their swords will be let loose against Egypt and the land will be full of dead.

bbe@Ezekiel:30:12 @And I will make the Nile streams dry, and will give the land into the hands of evil men, causing the land and everything in it to be wasted by the hands of men from a strange country: I the Lord have said it.

bbe@Ezekiel:30:13 @This is what the Lord has said: In addition to this, I will give up the images to destruction and put an end to the false gods in Noph; never again will there be a ruler in the land of Egypt: and I will put a fear in the land of Egypt.

bbe@Ezekiel:30:18 @And at Tehaphnehes the day will become dark, when the yoke of Egypt is broken there, and the pride of her power comes to an end: as for her, she will be covered with a cloud, and her daughters will be taken away prisoners.

bbe@Ezekiel:30:21 @Son of man, the arm of Pharaoh, king of Egypt, has been broken by me, and no band has been put round it to make it well, no band has been twisted round it to make it strong for gripping the sword.

bbe@Ezekiel:30:25 @And I will make the arms of the king of Babylon strong, and the arms of Pharaoh will be hanging down; and they will be certain that I am the Lord, when I put my sword into the hand of the king of Babylon and it is stretched out against the land of Egypt.

bbe@Ezekiel:31:3 @See, a pine-tree with beautiful branches and thick growth, giving shade and very tall; and its top was among the clouds.

bbe@Ezekiel:31:4 @It got strength from the waters and the deep made it tall: its streams went round about its planted land and it sent out its waterways to all the trees of the field.

bbe@Ezekiel:31:5 @In this way it became taller than all the trees of the field; and its branches were increased and its arms became long because of the great waters.

bbe@Ezekiel:31:6 @In its branches all the birds of heaven came to rest, and under its arms all the beasts of the field gave birth to their young, and great nations were living in its shade.

bbe@Ezekiel:31:7 @So it was beautiful, being so tall and its branches so long, for its root was by great waters.

bbe@Ezekiel:31:8 @No cedars were equal to it in the garden of God; the fir-trees were not like its branches, and plane-trees were as nothing in comparison with its arms; no tree in the garden of God was so beautiful.

bbe@Ezekiel:31:9 @I made it beautiful with its mass of branches: so that all the trees in the garden of God were full of envy of it.

bbe@Ezekiel:31:13 @All the birds of heaven have come to rest on his broken stem where it is stretched on the earth, and all the beasts of the field will be on his branches:

bbe@Ezekiel:31:14 @In order that no trees by the waters may be lifted up in their growth, putting their tops among the clouds; and that no trees which are watered may take their place on high: for they are all given up to death, to the lowest parts of the earth among the children of men, with those who go down to the underworld.

bbe@Ezekiel:31:16 @I will send shaking on the nations at the sound of his fall, when I send him down to the underworld with those who go down into the deep: and on earth they will be comforting themselves, all the trees of Eden, the best of Lebanon, even all the watered ones.

bbe@Ezekiel:31:17 @And they will go down with him to the underworld, to those who have been put to the sword; even those who were his helpers, living under his shade among the nations

bbe@Ezekiel:31:18 @Whom then are you like? for you will be sent down with the trees of Eden into the lowest parts of the earth: there you will be stretched out among those without circumcision, with those who were put to the sword. This is Pharaoh and all his people, says the Lord.

bbe@Ezekiel:32:1 @And it came about in the twelfth year, in the twelfth month, on the first day of the month, that the word of the Lord came to me, saying,

bbe@Ezekiel:32:2 @Son of man, make a song of grief for Pharaoh, king of Egypt, and say to him, Young lion of the nations, destruction has come on you; and you were like a sea-beast in the seas, sending out bursts of water, troubling the waters with your feet, making their streams dirty.

bbe@Ezekiel:32:6 @And the land will be watered with your blood, and the waterways will be full of you.

bbe@Ezekiel:32:7 @And when I put out your life, the heaven will be covered and its stars made dark; I will let the sun be covered with a cloud and the moon will not give her light.

bbe@Ezekiel:32:10 @And I will make a number of peoples overcome with wonder at you, and their kings will be full of fear because of you, when my sword is waved before them: they will be shaking every minute, every man fearing for his life, in the day of your fall.

bbe@Ezekiel:32:12 @I will let the swords of the strong be the cause of the fall of your people; all of them men to be feared among the nations: and they will make waste the pride of Egypt, and all its people will come to destruction.

bbe@Ezekiel:32:15 @When I make Egypt an unpeopled waste, cutting off from the land all the things in it; when I send punishment on all those living in it, then it will be clear to them that I am the Lord.

bbe@Ezekiel:32:16 @It is a song of grief, and people will give voice to it, the daughters of the nations will give voice to it, even for Egypt and all her people, says the Lord.

bbe@Ezekiel:32:18 @Son of man, let your voice be loud in sorrow for the people of Egypt and send them down, even you and the daughters of the nations; I will send them down into the lowest parts of the earth, with those who go down into the underworld.

bbe@Ezekiel:32:19 @Are you more beautiful than any? go down, and take your rest among those without circumcision,

bbe@Ezekiel:32:20 @Among those who have been put to the sword: they will give a resting-place with them to all their people.

bbe@Ezekiel:32:21 @The strong among the great ones will say to him from the underworld, Are you more beautiful than any? go down, you and your helpers, and take your rest among those without circumcision, and those who have been put to the sword.

bbe@Ezekiel:32:24 @There is Elam and all her people, round about her last resting-place: all of them put to death by the sword, who have gone down without circumcision into the lowest parts of the earth, who were a cause of fear in the land of the living, and are put to shame with those who go down to the underworld:

bbe@Ezekiel:32:25 @They have made a bed for her among the dead, and all her people are round about her resting-place: all of them without circumcision, put to death with the sword; for they were a cause of fear in the land of the living, and are put to shame with those who go down to the underworld: they have been given a place among those who have been put to the sword.

bbe@Ezekiel:32:26 @There is Meshech, Tubal, and all her people, round about her last resting-place: all of them without circumcision, put to death by the sword; for they were a cause of fear in the land of the living.

bbe@Ezekiel:32:27 @And they have been put to rest with the fighting men who came to their end in days long past, who went down to the underworld with their instruments of war, placing their swords under their heads, and their body-covers are over their bones; for their strength was a cause of fear in the land of the living.

bbe@Ezekiel:32:28 @But you will have your bed among those without circumcision, and will be put to rest with those who have been put to death with the sword.

bbe@Ezekiel:32:29 @There is Edom, her kings and all her princes, who have been given a resting-place with those who were put to the sword: they will be resting among those without circumcision, even with those who go down to the underworld.

bbe@Ezekiel:32:30 @There are the chiefs of the north, all of them, and all the Zidonians, who have gone down with those who have been put to the sword: they are shamed on account of all the fear caused by their strength; they are resting there without circumcision, among those who have been put to the sword, and are put to shame with those who go down to the underworld.

bbe@Ezekiel:32:32 @For he put his fear in the land of the living: and he will be put to rest among those without circumcision, with those who have been put to death with the sword, even Pharaoh and all his people, says the Lord.

bbe@Ezekiel:33:4 @Then anyone who, hearing the sound of the horn, does not take note of it, will himself be responsible for his death, if the sword comes and takes him away.

bbe@Ezekiel:33:9 @But if you make clear to the evil-doer the danger of his way for the purpose of turning him from it, and he is not turned from his way, death will overtake him in his evil-doing, but your life will be safe.

bbe@Ezekiel:33:11 @Say to them, By my life, says the Lord, I have no pleasure in the death of the evil-doer; it is more pleasing to me if he is turned from his way and has life: be turned, be turned from your evil ways; why are you looking for death, O children of Israel?

bbe@Ezekiel:33:13 @When I say to the upright that life will certainly be his; if he puts his faith in his righteousness and does evil, not one of his upright acts will be kept in memory; but in the evil he has done, death will overtake him.

bbe@Ezekiel:33:17 @But the children of your people say, The way of the Lord is not equal: when it is they whose way is not equal.

bbe@Ezekiel:33:18 @When the upright man, turning away from his righteousness, does evil, death will overtake him in it.

bbe@Ezekiel:33:19 @And when the evil man, turning away from his evil-doing, does what is ordered and right, he will get life by it.

bbe@Ezekiel:33:22 @Now the hand of the Lord had been on me in the evening, before the man who had got away came to me; and he made my mouth open, ready for his coming to me in the morning; and my mouth was open and I was no longer without voice.

bbe@Ezekiel:33:24 @Son of man, those who are living in these waste places in the land of Israel say, Abraham was but one, and he had land for his heritage: but we are a great number; the land is given to us for our heritage.

bbe@Ezekiel:33:25 @For this cause say to them, This is what the Lord has said: You take your meat with the blood, your eyes are lifted up to your images, and you are takers of life: are you to have the land for your heritage?

bbe@Ezekiel:33:26 @You put your faith in your swords, you do disgusting things, everyone takes his neighbour's wife: are you to have the land for your heritage?

bbe@Ezekiel:33:31 @And they come to you as my people come, and are seated before you as my people, hearing your words but doing them not: for deceit is in their mouth and their heart goes after profit for themselves.

bbe@Ezekiel:33:33 @And when this comes about (see, it is coming), then it will be clear to them that a prophet has been among them.

bbe@Ezekiel:34:2 @Son of man, be a prophet against the keepers of the flock of Israel, and say to them, O keepers of the sheep! this is the word of the Lord: A curse is on the keepers of the flock of Israel who take the food for themselves! is it not right for the keepers to give the food to the sheep?

bbe@Ezekiel:34:3 @You take the milk and are clothed with the wool, you put the fat beasts to death, but you give the sheep no food.

bbe@Ezekiel:34:10 @This is what the Lord has said: See I am against the keepers of the flock, and I will make search and see what they have done with my sheep, and will let them be keepers of my sheep no longer; and the keepers will no longer get food for themselves; I will take my sheep out of their mouths so that they may not be food for them.

bbe@Ezekiel:34:18 @Does it seem a small thing to you to have taken your food on good grass-land while the rest of your grass-land is stamped down under your feet? and that after drinking from clear waters you make the rest of the waters dirty with your feet?

bbe@Ezekiel:34:21 @Because you have been pushing with side and leg, pushing the diseased with your horns till they were sent away in every direction;

bbe@Ezekiel:34:24 @And I the Lord will be their God and my servant David their ruler; I the Lord have said it.

bbe@Ezekiel:34:25 @And I will make with them an agreement of peace, and will put an end to evil beasts through all the land: and they will be living safely in the waste land, sleeping in the woods.

bbe@Ezekiel:34:27 @And the tree of the field will give its fruit and the earth will give its increase, and they will be safe in their land; and they will be certain that I am the Lord, when I have had their yoke broken and have given them salvation from the hands of those who made them servants.

bbe@Ezekiel:34:30 @And they will be certain that I the Lord their God am with them, and that they, the children of Israel, are my people, says the Lord.

bbe@Ezekiel:35:2 @Son of man, let your face be turned to Mount Seir, and be a prophet against it,

bbe@Ezekiel:35:3 @And say to it, This is what the Lord has said: See, I am against you, O Mount Seir, and my hand will be stretched out against you, and I will make you a waste and a cause for wonder.

bbe@Ezekiel:35:5 @Because yours has been a hate without end, and you have given up the children of Israel to the power of the sword in the time of their trouble, in the time of the punishment of the end:

bbe@Ezekiel:35:7 @And I will make Mount Seir a cause for wonder and a waste, cutting off from it all comings and goings.

bbe@Ezekiel:35:10 @Because you have said, The two nations and the two countries are to be mine, and we will take them for our heritage; though the Lord was there:

bbe@Ezekiel:35:12 @And you will see that I the Lord have had knowledge of all the bitter things which you have said against the mountains of Israel, saying, They have been made waste, they are given to us to take for our heritage.

bbe@Ezekiel:35:13 @And you have made yourselves great against me with your mouths, increasing your words against me; and it has come to my ears.

bbe@Ezekiel:35:14 @This is what the Lord has said: Because you were glad over my land when it was a waste, so will I do to you:

bbe@Ezekiel:35:15 @You will become a waste, O Mount Seir, and all Edom, even all of it: and you will be certain that I am the Lord.

bbe@Ezekiel:36:2 @This is what the Lord has said: Because your hater has said against you, Aha! and, The old waste places are our heritage, we have taken them:

bbe@Ezekiel:36:3 @For this cause be a prophet, and say, This is what the Lord has said: Because, even because they have been glad over you and put you to shame on every side, because you have become a heritage for the rest of the nations, and you are taken up on the lips of talkers and in the evil talk of the people:

bbe@Ezekiel:36:5 @For this cause the Lord has said: Truly, in the heat of my bitter feeling I have said things against the rest of the nations and against all Edom, who have taken my land as a heritage for themselves with the joy of all their heart, and with bitter envy of soul have made attacks on it:

bbe@Ezekiel:36:6 @For this cause be a prophet about the land of Israel, and say to the mountains and to the hills, to the streams and to the valleys, This is what the Lord has said: Truly, in my bitter feeling and in my wrath I have said these things, because you have undergone the shame of the nations:

bbe@Ezekiel:36:8 @But you, O mountains of Israel, will put out your branches and give your fruit to my people Israel; for they are ready to come.

bbe@Ezekiel:36:12 @Yes, I will have you walked on by the feet of men, even my people Israel; they will have you for a heritage and you will be theirs, and never again will you take their children from them.

bbe@Ezekiel:36:17 @Son of man, when the children of Israel were living in their land, they made it unclean by their way and their acts: their way before me was as when a woman is unclean at the time when she is kept separate.

bbe@Ezekiel:36:18 @So I let loose my wrath on them because of those whom they had violently put to death in the land, and because they had made it unclean with their images:

bbe@Ezekiel:36:20 @And when they came among the nations, wherever they went, they made my holy name unclean, when it was said of them, These are the people of the Lord who have gone out from his land.

bbe@Ezekiel:36:21 @But I had pity for my holy name which the children of Israel had made unclean wherever they went.

bbe@Ezekiel:36:23 @And I will make holy my great name which has been made unclean among the nations, which you have made unclean among them; and it will be clear to the nations that I am the Lord, says the Lord, when I make myself holy in you before their eyes.

bbe@Ezekiel:36:26 @And I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit in you: I will take away the heart of stone from your flesh, and give you a heart of flesh.

bbe@Ezekiel:36:27 @And I will put my spirit in you, causing you to be guided by my rules, and you will keep my orders and do them.

bbe@Ezekiel:36:30 @And I will make the tree give more fruit and the field fuller produce, and no longer will you be shamed among the nations for need of food.

bbe@Ezekiel:36:31 @And at the memory of your evil ways and your wrongdoings, you will have bitter hate for yourselves because of your evil-doings and your disgusting ways, O children of Israel.

bbe@Ezekiel:36:32 @Not because of you am I doing it, says the Lord; let it be clear to you, and be shamed and made low because of your ways, O children of Israel.

bbe@Ezekiel:36:36 @Then the rest of the nations round about you will be certain that I the Lord am the builder of the places which were pulled down and the planter of that which was waste: I the Lord have said it, and I will do it.

bbe@Ezekiel:36:37 @This is what the Lord has said: The children of Israel will again make prayer to me for this, that I may do it for them; I will make them increased with men like a flock.

bbe@Ezekiel:37:1 @The hand of the Lord had been on me, and he took me out in the spirit of the Lord and put me down in the middle of the valley; and it was full of bones;

bbe@Ezekiel:37:3 @And he said to me, Son of man, is it possible for these bones to come to life? And I made answer, and said, It is for you to say, O Lord.

bbe@Ezekiel:37:8 @And looking I saw that there were muscles on them and flesh came up, and they were covered with skin: but there was no breath in them.

bbe@Ezekiel:37:14 @And I will put my spirit in you, so that you may come to life, and I will give you a rest in your land: and you will be certain that I the Lord have said it and have done it, says the Lord.

bbe@Ezekiel:37:16 @And you, son of man, take one stick, writing on it, For Judah and for the children of Israel who are in his company: then take another stick, writing on it, For Joseph, the stick of Ephraim, and all the children of Israel who are in his company:

bbe@Ezekiel:37:18 @And when the children of your people say to you, Will you not make clear to us what these things have to do with us?

bbe@Ezekiel:37:19 @Then say to them, This is what the Lord has said: See, I am taking the stick of Joseph, which is in the hand of Ephraim, and the tribes of Israel who are in his company; and I will put it on the stick of Judah and make them one stick, and they will be one in my hand.

bbe@Ezekiel:37:20 @And the sticks with your writing on them will be in your hand before their eyes.

bbe@Ezekiel:37:23 @And they will no longer make themselves unclean with their images or with their hated things or with any of their sins: but I will give them salvation from all their turning away in which they have done evil, and will make them clean; and they will be to me a people, and I will be to them a God.

bbe@Ezekiel:37:26 @And I will make an agreement of peace with them: it will be an eternal agreement with them: and I will have mercy on them and make their numbers great, and will put my holy place among them for ever.

bbe@Ezekiel:38:4 @And turning you round, I will put hooks in your mouth and make you come out with all your army, horses and horsemen, all of them in full war-dress, a great force with breastplate and body-cover, all of them armed with swords:

bbe@Ezekiel:38:5 @Persia, Cush, and Put with them; all of them with body-cover and metal head-dress:

bbe@Ezekiel:38:6 @Gomer and all her forces; the people of Togarmah in the inmost parts of the north, with all his forces: a great number of peoples with you.

bbe@Ezekiel:38:7 @Be ready, make yourself ready, you and all the forces who are with you, and be ready for my orders.

bbe@Ezekiel:38:8 @After a long time you will get your orders: in the last years you will come into the land which has been given back from the sword, which has been got together out of a great number of peoples, on the mountains of Israel which have ever been a waste: but it has been taken out from the peoples and they will be living, all of them, without fear of danger.

bbe@Ezekiel:38:9 @And you will go up, you will come like a storm, you will be like a cloud covering the land, you and all your forces, and a great number of peoples with you.

bbe@Ezekiel:38:10 @This is what the Lord has said: In that day it will come about that things will come into your mind, and you will have thoughts of an evil design:

bbe@Ezekiel:38:11 @And you will say, I will go up to the land of small unwalled towns; I will go to those who are quiet, living, all of them, without fear of danger, without walls or locks or doors:

bbe@Ezekiel:38:12 @To take their property by force and go off with their goods; turning your hand against the waste places which now are peopled, and against the people who have been got together out of the nations, who have got cattle and goods for themselves, who are living in the middle of the earth.

bbe@Ezekiel:38:13 @Sheba, and Dedan and her traders, Tarshish with all her traders, will say to you, Have you come to take our goods? have you got your armies together to take away our property by force? to take away silver and gold, cattle and goods, to go off with great wealth?

bbe@Ezekiel:38:14 @For this cause, son of man, be a prophet and say to Gog, These are the words of the Lord: In that day, when my people Israel are living without fear of danger, will you not be moved against them?

bbe@Ezekiel:38:15 @And you will come from your place in the inmost parts of the north, you and a great number of peoples with you, all of them on horseback, a great force and a strong army:

bbe@Ezekiel:38:16 @And you will come up against my people Israel, like a cloud covering the land; and it will come about, in the last days, that I will make you come against my land, so that the nations may have knowledge of me when I make myself holy in you, O Gog, before their eyes.

bbe@Ezekiel:38:18 @And it will come about in that day, when Gog comes up against the land of Israel, says the Lord, that my wrath will come up, and my passion and my bitter feeling.

bbe@Ezekiel:38:22 @And I will take up my cause against him with disease and with blood; and I will send down on him and on his forces and on the peoples who are with him, an overflowing shower and great ice-drops, fire, and burning.

bbe@Ezekiel:39:3 @And with a blow I will send your bow out of your left hand and your arrows falling from your right hand.

bbe@Ezekiel:39:4 @On the mountains of Israel you will come down, you and all your forces and the peoples who are with you: I will give you to cruel birds of every sort and to the beasts of the field to be their food.

bbe@Ezekiel:39:5 @You will come down in the open field: for I have said it, says the Lord.

bbe@Ezekiel:39:6 @And I will send a fire on Magog, and on those who are living in the sea-lands without fear: and they will be certain that I am the Lord.

bbe@Ezekiel:39:8 @See, it is coming and it will be done, says the Lord; this is the day of which I have given word.

bbe@Ezekiel:39:10 @And they will take no wood out of the field or have any cut down in the woods; for they will make their fires of the instruments of war: and they will take by force the property of those who took their property, and go off with the goods of those who took their goods, says the Lord.

bbe@Ezekiel:39:11 @And it will come about in those days, that I will give to Gog a last resting-place there in Israel, in the valley of Abarim on the east of the sea: and those who go through will be stopped: and there Gog and all his people will be put to rest, and the place will be named, The valley of Hamon-gog.

bbe@Ezekiel:39:13 @And all the people of the land will put them in the earth; and it will be to their honour in the day when I let my glory be seen, says the Lord.

bbe@Ezekiel:39:14 @And they will put on one side men to do no other work but to go through the land and put in the earth the rest of those who are still on the face of the land, to make it clean: after seven months are ended they are to make a search.

bbe@Ezekiel:39:15 @And while they go through the land, if anyone sees a man's bone, he is to put up a sign by the place till those who are doing the work have put it in the earth in the valley of Hamon-gog.

bbe@Ezekiel:39:19 @You will go on feasting on the fat till you are full, and drinking the blood till you are overcome with it, of my offering which I have put to death for you.

bbe@Ezekiel:39:23 @And it will be clear to the nations that the children of Israel were taken away prisoners for their evil-doing; because they did wrong against me, and my face was covered from them: so I gave them up into the hands of their attackers, and they all came to their end by the sword.

bbe@Ezekiel:39:26 @And they will be conscious of their shame and of all the wrong which they have done against me, when they are living in their land with no sense of danger and with no one to be a cause of fear to them;

bbe@Ezekiel:39:29 @And my face will no longer be covered from them: for I have sent the out-flowing of my spirit on the children of Israel, says the Lord.

bbe@Ezekiel:40:2 @In the visions of God he took me into the land of Israel, and put me down on a very high mountain, on which there was, as it seemed, a building like a town opposite me.

bbe@Ezekiel:40:3 @He took me there, and I saw a man, looking like brass, with a linen cord in his hand and a measuring rod: and he was stationed in the doorway.

bbe@Ezekiel:40:4 @And the man said to me, Son of man, see with your eyes and give hearing with your ears, and take to heart everything I am going to let you see; for in order that I might let you see them, you have come here: and give an account of all you see to the children of Israel.

bbe@Ezekiel:40:5 @And there was a wall on the outside of the house all round, and in the man's hand there was a measuring rod six cubits long by a cubit and a hand's measure: so he took the measure of the building from side to side, one rod; and from base to top, one rod.

bbe@Ezekiel:40:6 @Then he came to the doorway looking to the east, and went up by its steps; and he took the measure of the doorstep, one rod wide.

bbe@Ezekiel:40:7 @And the watchmen's rooms were one rod long and one rod wide; and the space between the rooms was five cubits; the doorstep of the doorway, by the covered way of the doorway inside, was one rod.

bbe@Ezekiel:40:9 @Eight cubits; and its uprights, two cubits; the covered way of the doorway was inside.

bbe@Ezekiel:40:11 @And he took the measure of the opening of the doorway, ten cubits wide; and the way down the doorway was thirteen cubits;

bbe@Ezekiel:40:12 @And the space in front of the rooms, a cubit on this side and a cubit on that side; and the rooms six cubits on this side and six cubits on that.

bbe@Ezekiel:40:13 @And he took the measure of the doorway from the back of one room to the back of the other, twenty-five cubits across, from door to door.

bbe@Ezekiel:40:14 @And he took the measure of the covered way, twenty cubits; and opening from the covered way of the doorway was the open square round about.

bbe@Ezekiel:40:15 @And from before the opening of the doorway to before the inner covered way of the doorway was fifty cubits.

bbe@Ezekiel:40:19 @Then he took the measure of the square across, from before the lower doorway inside to before the inner doorway outside, one hundred cubits. And he took me in the direction of the north,

bbe@Ezekiel:40:20 @And there was a doorway to the outer square, looking to the north; and he took the measure of it to see how wide and how long it was.

bbe@Ezekiel:40:21 @And it had three rooms on this side of it and three on that; its uprights and its covered ways were the same size as those of the first doorway: it was fifty cubits long and twenty-five cubits wide.

bbe@Ezekiel:40:22 @And its windows, and the windows of its covered ways, and its palm-trees, were the same as those of the doorway looking to the east; and there were seven steps up to it; and the covered way went inside.

bbe@Ezekiel:40:23 @And there was a doorway to the inner square opposite the doorway on the north, like the doorway on the east; and he took the measure from doorway to doorway, a hundred cubits.

bbe@Ezekiel:40:24 @And he took me to the south, and I saw a doorway looking to the south: and he took the measure of its rooms and its uprights and its covered ways by these measures.

bbe@Ezekiel:40:25 @And there were windows in it and in the covered way all round, like the other windows: it was fifty cubits long and twenty-five cubits wide.

bbe@Ezekiel:40:26 @And there were seven steps up to it, and its covered way went inside: and it had palm-trees, one on this side and one on that, on its uprights.

bbe@Ezekiel:40:27 @And there was a doorway to the inner square looking to the south: he took the measure from doorway to doorway to the south, a hundred cubits.

bbe@Ezekiel:40:29 @And the rooms in it and the uprights and the covered ways, by these measures:

bbe@Ezekiel:40:30 @And there were windows in it and in the covered way all round: it was fifty cubits long and twenty-five cubits wide.

bbe@Ezekiel:40:31 @The covered way was on the side nearest the outer square; and there were palm-trees on the uprights: and there were eight steps going up to it.

bbe@Ezekiel:40:33 @And of the rooms in it and its uprights and its covered ways, by these measures: and there were windows in it and in the covered way round about: it was fifty cubits long and twenty-five cubits wide.

bbe@Ezekiel:40:34 @And the covered way was on the side nearest the outer square; there were palm-trees on the uprights, on this side and on that: and there were eight steps going up to it.

bbe@Ezekiel:40:35 @And he took me to the north doorway: and he took the measure of it by these measures;

bbe@Ezekiel:40:36 @Its rooms, its uprights, and its covered way had the same measures, and its covered way had windows all round: it was fifty cubits long and twenty-five cubits wide.

bbe@Ezekiel:40:37 @Its uprights were on the side nearest to the outer square; there were palm-trees on the uprights, on this side and on that: and there were eight steps going up to it.

bbe@Ezekiel:40:38 @And there was a room with a door in the covered way of the doorway, where the burned offering was washed.

bbe@Ezekiel:40:42 @And there were four tables for the burned offering, made of cut stone, one and a half cubits long, one and a half cubits wide and a cubit high, where the instruments were placed which were used for putting to death the burned offering and the beasts for the offerings.

bbe@Ezekiel:40:47 @And he took the measure of the open square, a hundred cubits long and a hundred cubits wide, being square; and the altar was in front of the house.

bbe@Ezekiel:40:48 @Then he took me to the covered way before the house, and took the measure of its uprights, five cubits on one side and five cubits on the other: and the doorway was fourteen cubits wide; and the side-walls of the doorway were three cubits on one side and three cubits on the other.

bbe@Ezekiel:40:49 @The covered way was twenty cubits long and twelve cubits wide, and they went up to it by ten steps; and there were pillars by the uprights, one on one side and one on the other.

bbe@Ezekiel:41:1 @And he took me to the Temple, and took the measure of the uprights, six cubits wide on one side and six cubits wide on the other.

bbe@Ezekiel:41:2 @And the door-opening was ten cubits wide; and the side walls of the door-opening were five cubits on one side and five cubits on the other: and it was forty cubits long and twenty cubits wide.

bbe@Ezekiel:41:3 @And he went inside and took the measure of the uprights of the door-opening, two cubits: and the door-opening, six cubits; and the side-walls of the door-opening were seven cubits on one side and seven cubits on the other.

bbe@Ezekiel:41:4 @And by his measure it was twenty cubits long and twenty cubits wide in front of the Temple: and he said to me, This is the most holy place.

bbe@Ezekiel:41:5 @Then he took the measure of the wall of the house, which was six cubits; and of the side-rooms round the house, which were four cubits wide.

bbe@Ezekiel:41:8 @And I saw that the house had a stone floor all round; the bases of the side-rooms were a full rod of six great cubits high.

bbe@Ezekiel:41:9 @The wall supporting the side-rooms on the outside was five cubits thick: and there was a free space of five cubits between the side-rooms of the house.

bbe@Ezekiel:41:10 @And between the rooms was a space twenty cubits wide all round the house.

bbe@Ezekiel:41:11 @And the free space had doors opening from the side-rooms, one door on the north and one door on the south: and the free space was five cubits wide all round.

bbe@Ezekiel:41:12 @And the building which was in front of the separate place at the side to the west was seventy cubits wide; the wall of the building was five cubits thick all round and ninety cubits long.

bbe@Ezekiel:41:13 @And he took the measure of the house; it was a hundred cubits long; and the separate place and the building with its walls was a hundred cubits long;

bbe@Ezekiel:41:14 @And the east front of the house and of the separate place was a hundred cubits wide.

bbe@Ezekiel:41:15 @And he took the measure of the building in front of the separate place which was at the back of it, and the pillared walks on one side and on the other side; they were a hundred cubits long; and the Temple and the inner part and its outer covered way were covered in;

bbe@Ezekiel:41:18 @And it had pictured forms of winged beings and palm-trees; a palm-tree between two winged ones, and every winged one had two faces;

bbe@Ezekiel:41:19 @So that there was the face of a man turned to the palm-tree on one side, and the face of a young lion on the other side: so it was made all round the house.

bbe@Ezekiel:41:22 @The altar was made of wood, and was three cubits high and two cubits long; it had angles, and its base and sides were of wood; and he said to me, This is the table which is before the Lord.

bbe@Ezekiel:42:1 @And he took me out into the inner square in the direction of the north: and he took me into the rooms which were opposite the separate place and opposite the building to the north.

bbe@Ezekiel:42:2 @On the north side it was a hundred cubits long and fifty cubits wide,

bbe@Ezekiel:42:3 @Opposite the space of twenty cubits which was part of the inner square, and opposite the stone floor of the outer square. There were covered ways facing one another on the third floor.

bbe@Ezekiel:42:4 @And in front of the rooms was a walk, ten cubits wide and a hundred cubits long; and their doors were facing north.

bbe@Ezekiel:42:7 @And the wall which went outside by the side of the rooms, in the direction of the outer square in front of the rooms, was fifty cubits long.

bbe@Ezekiel:42:8 @For the rooms in the outer square were fifty cubits long: and in front of the Temple was a space of a hundred cubits.

bbe@Ezekiel:42:13 @And he said to me, The north rooms and the south rooms in front of the separate place are the holy rooms, where the priests who come near the Lord take the most holy things for their food: there the most holy things are placed, with the meal offering and the sin-offering and the offering for error; for the place is holy.

bbe@Ezekiel:42:14 @When the priests go in, they may not go out of the holy place into the outer square, and there they are to put the robes in which they do the work of the Lord's house, for they are holy: and they have to put on other clothing before they come near that which has to do with the people.

bbe@Ezekiel:42:15 @And when he had come to the end of measuring the inner house, he took me out to the doorway looking to the east, and took its measure all round.

bbe@Ezekiel:42:16 @He went round and took the measure of it on the east side with the measuring rod, five hundred, measured with the rod all round.

bbe@Ezekiel:42:17 @And he went round and took the measure of it on the north side with the measuring rod, five hundred, measured with the rod all round.

bbe@Ezekiel:42:18 @And he went round and took the measure of it on the south side with the measuring rod, five hundred, measured with the rod all round.

bbe@Ezekiel:42:19 @And he went round and took the measure of it on the west side with the measuring rod, five hundred, measured with the rod all round.

bbe@Ezekiel:42:20 @He took its measure on the four sides: and it had a wall all round, five hundred long and five hundred wide, separating what was holy from what was common.

bbe@Ezekiel:43:2 @And there was the glory of the God of Israel coming from the way of the east: and his voice was like the sound of great waters, and the earth was shining with his glory.

bbe@Ezekiel:43:5 @And the spirit, lifting me up, took me into the inner square; and I saw that the house was full of the glory of the Lord.

bbe@Ezekiel:43:8 @By putting their doorstep by my doorstep, and the pillar of their door by the pillar of my door, with only a wall between me and them; and they have made my holy name unclean by the disgusting things which they have done: so in my wrath I sent destruction on them.

bbe@Ezekiel:43:10 @You, son of man, give the children of Israel an account of this house, so that they may be shamed because of their evil-doing: and let them see the vision of it and its image.

bbe@Ezekiel:43:11 @And they will be shamed by what they have done; so give them the knowledge of the form of the house and its structure, and the ways out of it and into it, and all its laws and its rules, writing it down for them: so that they may keep all its laws and do them.

bbe@Ezekiel:43:12 @This is the law of the house: On the top of the mountain all the space round it on every side will be most holy. See, this is the law of the house.

bbe@Ezekiel:43:13 @And these are the measures of the altar in cubits: (the cubit being a cubit and a hand's measure;) its hollow base is a cubit high and a cubit wide, and it has an overhanging edge as wide as a hand-stretch all round it:

bbe@Ezekiel:43:14 @And from the base on the earth level to the lower shelf, the altar is two cubits high and a cubit wide; and from the smaller shelf to the greater shelf it is four cubits high and a cubit wide.

bbe@Ezekiel:43:15 @And the fireplace is four cubits high: and coming up from the fireplace are the horns, a cubit high.

bbe@Ezekiel:43:16 @And the fireplace is twelve cubits long and twelve cubits wide, square on its four sides.

bbe@Ezekiel:43:17 @And the shelf is fourteen cubits long and fourteen cubits wide, on its four sides; the edge round it is half a cubit; the base of it is a cubit all round, and its steps are facing the east.

bbe@Ezekiel:43:18 @And he said to me, Son of man, the Lord God has said, These are the rules for the altar, when they make it, for the offering of burned offerings on it and the draining out of the blood.

bbe@Ezekiel:43:19 @You are to give to the priests, the Levites of the seed of Zadok, who come near to me, says the Lord God, to do my work, a young ox for a sin-offering.

bbe@Ezekiel:43:20 @You are to take some of its blood and put it on the four horns and on the four angles of the shelf and on the edge all round: and you are to make it clean and free from sin.

bbe@Ezekiel:43:21 @And you are to take the ox of the sin-offering, and have it burned in the special place ordered for it in the house, outside the holy place.

bbe@Ezekiel:43:22 @And on the second day you are to have a he-goat without any mark on it offered for a sin-offering; and they are to make the altar clean as they did with the young ox.

bbe@Ezekiel:43:23 @And after you have made it clean, let a young ox without a mark be offered, and a male sheep from the flock without a mark.

bbe@Ezekiel:43:25 @Every day for seven days you are to give a goat for a sin-offering: and let them give in addition a young ox and a male sheep from the flock without any mark on them.

bbe@Ezekiel:43:26 @For seven days they are to make offerings to take away sin from the altar and to make it clean; so they are to make it holy.

bbe@Ezekiel:44:1 @And he took me back to the outer doorway of the holy place, looking to the east; and it was shut.

bbe@Ezekiel:44:2 @And the Lord said to me, This doorway is to be shut, it is not to be open, and no man is to go in by it, because the Lord, the God of Israel, has gone in by it; and it is to be shut.

bbe@Ezekiel:44:5 @And the Lord said to me, Son of man, take to heart, and let your eyes see and your ears be open to everything I say to you about all the rules of the house of the Lord and all its laws; and take note of the ways into the house and all the ways out of the holy place.

bbe@Ezekiel:44:6 @And say to the uncontrolled children of Israel, This is what the Lord has said: O you children of Israel, let it be enough for you, among the disgusting things which you have done,

bbe@Ezekiel:44:7 @To have let men from strange lands, without circumcision of heart or flesh, come into my holy place, making my house unclean; and to have made the offering of my food, even the fat and the blood; and in addition to all your disgusting ways, you have let my agreement be broken.

bbe@Ezekiel:44:9 @For this cause the Lord has said, No man from a strange land, without circumcision of heart and flesh, of all those who are living among the children of Israel, is to come into my holy place.

bbe@Ezekiel:44:10 @But as for the Levites, who went far from me, when Israel went out of the right way, turning away from me to go after their images; their punishment will come on them.

bbe@Ezekiel:44:14 @But I will make them responsible for the care of the house and all its work and everything which is done in it.

bbe@Ezekiel:44:18 @They are to have linen head-dresses on their heads and linen trousers on their legs, and they are to have nothing round them to make their skin wet with heat.

bbe@Ezekiel:44:24 @In any cause, they are to be in the position of judges, judging in harmony with my decisions: they are to keep my laws and my rules in all my fixed feasts; and they are to keep my Sabbaths holy.

bbe@Ezekiel:44:28 @And they are to have no heritage; I am their heritage: you are to give them no property in Israel; I am their property.

bbe@Ezekiel:44:30 @And the best of all the first-fruits of everything, and every offering which is lifted up of all your offerings, will be for the priests: and you are to give the priest the first of your bread-making, so causing a blessing to come on your house.

bbe@Ezekiel:45:1 @And when you are making a distribution of the land, by the decision of the Lord, for your heritage, you are to make an offering to the Lord of a part of the land as holy: it is to be twenty-five thousand long and twenty thousand wide: all the land inside these limits is to be holy.

bbe@Ezekiel:45:2 @Of this, a square five hundred long and five hundred wide is to be for the holy place, with a space of fifty cubits all round it.

bbe@Ezekiel:45:3 @And of this measure, let a space be measured, twenty-five thousand long and ten thousand wide: in it there will be the holy place, even the most holy.

bbe@Ezekiel:45:4 @This holy part of the land is to be for the priests, the servants of the holy place, who come near to the Lord to do his work; it is to be a place for their houses and for grass-land and for cattle.

bbe@Ezekiel:45:5 @A space of land twenty-five thousand long and ten thousand wide is to be for the Levites, the servants of the house, a property for themselves, for towns for their living-places.

bbe@Ezekiel:45:7 @And for the ruler there is to be a part on one side and on the other side of the holy offering and of the property of the town, in front of the holy offering and in front of the property of the town on the west of it and on the east: measured in the same line as one of the parts of the land, from its limit on the west to its limit on the east of the land.

bbe@Ezekiel:45:8 @And this will be his heritage in Israel: and my rulers will no longer be cruel masters to my people; but they will give the land as a heritage to the children of Israel by their tribes.

bbe@Ezekiel:45:11 @The ephah and the bath are to be of the same measure, so that the bath is equal to a tenth of a homer, and the ephah to a tenth of a homer: the unit of measure is to be a homer.

bbe@Ezekiel:45:18 @This is what the Lord has said: In the first month, on the first day of the month, you are to take a young ox without any mark on him, and you are to make the holy place clean.

bbe@Ezekiel:45:19 @And the priest is to take some of the blood of the sin-offering and put it on the uprights at the sides of the doors of the house, and on the four angles of the shelf of the altar, and on the sides of the doorway of the inner square.

bbe@Ezekiel:45:23 @And on the seven days of the feast he is to give a burned offering to the Lord, seven oxen and seven sheep without any mark on them, every day for seven days; and a he-goat every day for a sin-offering.

bbe@Ezekiel:46:1 @This is what the Lord has said: The doorway of the inner square looking to the east is to be shut on the six working days; but on the Sabbath it is to be open, and at the time of the new moon it is to be open.

bbe@Ezekiel:46:4 @And the burned offering offered to the Lord by the ruler on the Sabbath day is to be six lambs without a mark on them and a male sheep without a mark;

bbe@Ezekiel:46:6 @And at the time of the new moon it is to be a young ox of the herd without a mark on him, and six lambs and a male sheep, all without a mark:

bbe@Ezekiel:46:13 @And you are to give a lamb a year old without any mark on it for a burned offering to the Lord every day: morning by morning you are to give it.

bbe@Ezekiel:46:14 @And you are to give, morning by morning, a meal offering with it, a sixth of an ephah and a third of a hin of oil dropped on the best meal; a meal offering offered to the Lord at all times by an eternal order.

bbe@Ezekiel:46:16 @This is what the Lord has said: If the ruler gives a property to any of his sons, it is his heritage and will be the property of his sons; it is theirs for their heritage.

bbe@Ezekiel:46:17 @And if he gives a part of his heritage to one of his servants, it will be his till the year of making free, and then it will go back to the ruler; for it is his sons' heritage, and is to be theirs.

bbe@Ezekiel:46:18 @And the ruler is not to take the heritage of any of the people, driving them out of their property; he is to give a heritage to his sons out of the property which is his: so that my people may not be sent away from their property.

bbe@Ezekiel:46:22 @In the four angles there were spaces walled in, forty cubits long and thirty wide; the four were of the same size.

bbe@Ezekiel:46:23 @And there was a line of wall all round inside them, round all four, and boiling-places were made under it all round about.

bbe@Ezekiel:47:3 @And the man went out to the east with the line in his hand, and after measuring a thousand cubits, he made me go through the waters, which came over my feet.

bbe@Ezekiel:47:4 @And again, measuring a thousand cubits, he made me go through the waters which came up to my knees. Again, measuring a thousand, he made me go through the waters up to the middle of my body.

bbe@Ezekiel:47:5 @Again, after his measuring a thousand, it became a river which it was not possible to go through: for the waters had become deep enough for swimming, a river it was not possible to go through.

bbe@Ezekiel:47:9 @And it will come about that every living and moving thing, wherever their streams come, will have life; and there will be very much fish because these waters have come there and have been made sweet: and everything wherever the river comes will have life.

bbe@Ezekiel:47:10 @And fishermen will take up their places by it: from En-gedi as far as En-eglaim will be a place for the stretching out of nets; the fish will be of every sort, like the fish of the Great Sea, a very great number.

bbe@Ezekiel:47:12 @And by the edge of the river, on this side and on that, will come up every tree used for food, whose leaves will ever be green and its fruit will not come to an end: it will have new fruit every month, because its waters come out from the holy place: the fruit will be for food and the leaf will make well those who are ill.

bbe@Ezekiel:47:13 @This is what the Lord has said: These are the limits by which you will take up your heritage in the land among the twelve tribes of Israel: Joseph is to have two parts.

bbe@Ezekiel:47:14 @And you are to make an equal division of it; as I gave my oath to your fathers to give it to you: for this land is to be your heritage.

bbe@Ezekiel:47:15 @And this is to be the limit of the land: on the north side, from the Great Sea, in the direction of Hethlon, as far as the way into Hamath;

bbe@Ezekiel:47:16 @To Zedad, Berothah, Sibraim, which is between the limit of Damascus and the limit of Hazar-hatticon, which is on the limit of Hauran.

bbe@Ezekiel:47:17 @And this is the limit from the sea in the direction of Hazar-enon; and the limit of Damascus is to the north, and on the north is the limit of Hamath. This is the north side.

bbe@Ezekiel:47:18 @And the east side will be from Hazar-enon, which is between Hauran and Damascus; and between Gilead and the land of Israel the Jordan will be the limit, to the east sea, to Tamar. This is the east side.

bbe@Ezekiel:47:20 @And the west side will be the Great Sea, from the limit on the south to a point opposite the way into Hamath. This is the west side.

bbe@Ezekiel:47:22 @And you are to make a distribution of it, by the decision of the Lord, for a heritage to you and to the men from other lands who are living among you and who have children in your land: they will be the same to you as if they were Israelites by birth, they will have their heritage with you among the tribes of Israel.

bbe@Ezekiel:47:23 @In whatever tribe the man from a strange land is living, there you are to give him his heritage, says the Lord.

bbe@Ezekiel:48:1 @Now these are the names of the tribes: from the north end, from the west on the way of Hethlon to the way into Hamath, in the direction of Hazar-enon, with the limit of Damascus to the north, by Hamath; and on the limit from the east side to the west side: Dan, one part.

bbe@Ezekiel:48:2 @And on the limit of Dan, from the east side to the west side: Asher, one part.

bbe@Ezekiel:48:3 @And on the limit of Asher, from the east side to the west side: Naphtali, one part.

bbe@Ezekiel:48:4 @And on the limit of Naphtali, from the east side to the west side: Manasseh, one part.

bbe@Ezekiel:48:7 @And on the limit of Reuben, from the east side to the west side: Judah, one part.

bbe@Ezekiel:48:8 @And on the limit of Judah, from the east side to the west side, will be the offering which you are to make, twenty-five thousand wide, and as long as one of the parts, from the east side to the west side: and the holy place will be in the middle of it.

bbe@Ezekiel:48:10 @And for these, that is the priests, the holy offering is to be twenty-five thousand long to the north, ten thousand wide to the west, ten thousand wide to the east and twenty-five thousand long to the south; and the holy place of the Lord will be in the middle of it.

bbe@Ezekiel:48:11 @For the priests who have been made holy, those of the sons of Zadok who kept the orders I gave them, who did not go out of the right way when the children of Israel went from the way, as the Levites did,

bbe@Ezekiel:48:12 @Even for them will be the offering from the offering of the land, a thing most holy, on the limit of the land given to the Levites.

bbe@Ezekiel:48:13 @And the Levites are to have a part of the land equal to the limit of the priests', twenty-five thousand long and ten thousand wide, all of it together to be twenty-five thousand long and twenty thousand wide.

bbe@Ezekiel:48:14 @And they are not to let any of it go for a price, or give it in exchange; and the part of the land given to the Lord is not to go into other hands: for it is holy to the Lord.

bbe@Ezekiel:48:15 @And the other five thousand, measured from side to side, in front of the twenty-five thousand, is to be for common use, for the town, for living in and for a free space: and the town will be in the middle of it.

bbe@Ezekiel:48:16 @And these will be its measures: the north side, four thousand five hundred, and the south side, four thousand five hundred, and on the east side, four thousand five hundred, and on the west side, four thousand five hundred.

bbe@Ezekiel:48:18 @And the rest, in measure as long as the holy offering, will be ten thousand to the east and ten thousand to the west: and its produce will be for food for the workers of the town.

bbe@Ezekiel:48:19 @It will be farmed by workers of the town from all the tribes of Israel.

bbe@Ezekiel:48:20 @The size of the offering all together is to be twenty-five thousand by twenty-five thousand: you are to make the holy offering a square, together with the property of the town.

bbe@Ezekiel:48:21 @And the rest is to be for the prince, on this side and on that side of the holy offering and of the property of the town, in front of the twenty-five thousand to the east, as far as the east limit, and to the west, in front of the twenty-five thousand, as far as the west limit, and of the same measure as those parts; it will be the property of the prince: and the holy offering and holy place of the house will be in the middle of it.

bbe@Ezekiel:48:22 @And the property of the Levites and the property of the town will be in the middle of the prince's property; between the limit of Judah's part and the limit of Benjamin's part will be for the prince.

bbe@Ezekiel:48:24 @And on the limit of Benjamin, from the east side to the west side: Simeon, one part.

bbe@Ezekiel:48:25 @And on the limit of Simeon, from the east side to the west side: Issachar, one part.

bbe@Ezekiel:48:26 @And on the limit of Issachar, from the east side to the west side: Zebulun, one part.

bbe@Ezekiel:48:28 @And on the limit of Gad, on the south side and to the south of it, the limit will be from Tamar to the waters of Meribath-kadesh, to the stream, to the Great Sea.

bbe@Ezekiel:48:29 @This is the land of which distribution is to be made by the decision of the Lord, among the tribes of Israel for their heritage, and these are their heritages, says the Lord.

bbe@Ezekiel:48:34 @At the west side, four thousand five hundred by measure, with their three doors, one for Gad, one for Asher, one for Naphtali.

bbe@Ezekiel:48:35 @It is to be eighteen thousand all round: and the name of the town from that day will be, The Lord is there.

bbe@Daniel:1:1 @In the third year of the rule of Jehoiakim, king of Judah, Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon, came to Jerusalem, shutting it in with his forces.

bbe@Daniel:1:2 @And the Lord gave into his hands Jehoiakim, king of Judah, with some of the vessels of the house of God; and he took them away into the land of Shinar to the house of his god; and he put the vessels into the store-house of his god.

bbe@Daniel:1:4 @Young men who were strong and healthy, good-looking, and trained in all wisdom, having a good education and much knowledge, and able to take positions in the king's house; and to have them trained in the writing and language of the Chaldaeans.

bbe@Daniel:1:8 @And Daniel had come to the decision that he would not make himself unclean with the king's food or wine; so he made a request to the captain of the unsexed servants that he might not make himself unclean.

bbe@Daniel:1:9 @And God put into the heart of the captain of the unsexed servants kind feelings and pity for Daniel.

bbe@Daniel:1:13 @Then take a look at our faces and the faces of the young men who have food from the king's table; and, having seen them, do to your servants as it seems right to you.

bbe@Daniel:1:19 @And the king had talk with them; and among them all there was no one like Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah; so they were given places before the king.

bbe@Daniel:2:1 @In the second year of the rule of Nebuchadnezzar, Nebuchadnezzar had dreams; and his spirit was troubled and his sleep went from him.

bbe@Daniel:2:3 @And the king said to them, I have had a dream, and my spirit is troubled by the desire to have the dream made clear to me.

bbe@Daniel:2:4 @Then the Chaldaeans said to the king in the Aramaean language, O King, have life for ever: give your servants an account of your dream, and we will make clear to you the sense of it.

bbe@Daniel:2:5 @The king made answer and said to the Chaldaeans, This is my decision: if you do not make clear to me the dream and the sense of it, you will be cut in bits and your houses made waste.

bbe@Daniel:2:6 @But if you make clear the dream and the sense of it, you will have from me offerings and rewards and great honour: so make clear to me the dream and the sense of it.

bbe@Daniel:2:9 @That if you do not make my dream clear to me there is only one fate for you: for you have made ready false and evil words to say before me till the times are changed: so give me an account of the dream, and I will be certain that you are able to make the sense of it clear.

bbe@Daniel:2:11 @The king's request is a very hard one, and there is no other who is able to make it clear to the king, but the gods, whose living-place is not with flesh.

bbe@Daniel:2:14 @Then Daniel gave an answer with wisdom and good sense to Arioch, the captain of the king's armed men, who had gone out to put to death the wise men of Babylon;

bbe@Daniel:2:18 @So that they might make a request for the mercy of the God of heaven in the question of this secret; so that Daniel and his friends might not come to destruction with the rest of the wise men of Babylon.

bbe@Daniel:2:22 @He is the unveiler of deep and secret things: he has knowledge of what is in the dark, and the light has its living-place with him.

bbe@Daniel:2:26 @The king made answer and said to Daniel, whose name was Belteshazzar, Are you able to make clear to me the dream which I saw and its sense?

bbe@Daniel:2:31 @You, O King, were looking, and a great image was there. This image, which was very great, and whose glory was very bright, was placed before you: its form sent fear into the heart.

bbe@Daniel:2:32 @As for this image, its head was made of the best gold, its breast and its arms were of silver, its middle and its sides were of brass,

bbe@Daniel:2:33 @Its legs of iron, its feet were in part of iron and in part of potter's earth.

bbe@Daniel:2:34 @While you were looking at it, a stone was cut out, but not by hands, and it gave the image a blow on its feet, which were of iron and earth, and they were broken in bits.

bbe@Daniel:2:36 @This is the dream; and we will make clear to the king the sense of it.

bbe@Daniel:2:40 @And the fourth kingdom will be strong as iron: because, as all things are broken and overcome by iron, so it will have the power of crushing and smashing down all the earth.

bbe@Daniel:2:41 @And as you saw the feet and toes, part of potter's work and part of iron, there will be a division in the kingdom; but there will be some of the strength of iron in it, because you saw the iron mixed with the potter's earth.

bbe@Daniel:2:42 @And as the toes of the feet were in part of iron and in part of earth, so part of the kingdom will be strong and part of it will readily be broken.

bbe@Daniel:2:43 @And as you saw the iron mixed with earth, they will give their daughters to one another as wives: but they will not be united one with another, even as iron is not mixed with earth.

bbe@Daniel:2:44 @And in the days of those kings, the God of heaven will put up a kingdom which will never come to destruction, and its power will never be given into the hands of another people, and all these kingdoms will be broken and overcome by it, but it will keep its place for ever.

bbe@Daniel:2:45 @Because you saw that a stone was cut out of the mountain without hands, and that by it the iron and the brass and the earth and the silver and the gold were broken to bits, a great God has given the king knowledge of what is to take place in the future: the dream is fixed, and its sense is certain.

bbe@Daniel:2:49 @And at Daniel's request, the king gave Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego authority over the business of the land of Babylon: but Daniel was kept near the king's person.

bbe@Daniel:3:1 @Nebuchadnezzar the king made an image of gold, sixty cubits high and six cubits wide: he put it up in the valley of Dura, in the land of Babylon.

bbe@Daniel:3:14 @Nebuchadnezzar made answer and said to them, Is it true, O Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego, that you will not be servants of my god or give worship to the image of gold which I have put up?

bbe@Daniel:3:15 @Now if you are ready, on hearing the sound of the horn, pipe, harp, trigon, psaltery, bagpipe, and all sorts of instruments, to go down on your faces in worship before the image which I have made, it is well: but if you will not give worship, that same hour you will be put into a burning and flaming fire; and what god is there who will be able to take you out of my hands?

bbe@Daniel:3:19 @Then Nebuchadnezzar was full of wrath, and the form of his face was changed against Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego: and he gave orders that the fire was to be heated up seven times more than it was generally heated.

bbe@Daniel:3:23 @And these three men, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego, with the cords about them, went down into the burning and flaming fire.

bbe@Daniel:3:28 @Nebuchadnezzar made answer and said, Praise be to the God of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego, who has sent his angel and kept his servants safe who had faith in him, and who put the king's word on one side and gave up their bodies to the fire, so that they might not be servants or worshippers of any other god but their God.

bbe@Daniel:3:29 @And it is my decision that any people, nation, or language saying evil against the God of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego, will be cut to bits and their houses made waste: because there is no other god who is able to give salvation such as this.

bbe@Daniel:3:30 @Then the king gave Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego even greater authority in the land of Babylon.

bbe@Daniel:4:2 @It has seemed good to me to make clear the signs and wonders which the Most High God has done with me.

bbe@Daniel:4:7 @Then the wonder-workers, the users of secret arts, the Chaldaeans, and the readers of signs came in to me: and I put the dream before them but they did not make clear the sense of it to me.

bbe@Daniel:4:8 @But at last Daniel came in before me, he whose name was Belteshazzar, after the name of my god, and in whom is the spirit of the holy gods: and I put the dream before him, saying,

bbe@Daniel:4:9 @O Belteshazzar, master of the wonder-workers, because I am certain that the spirit of the holy gods is in you, and you are troubled by no secret; this is the dream which I saw: make clear to me its sense.

bbe@Daniel:4:10 @On my bed I saw a vision: there was a tree in the middle of the earth, and it was very high

bbe@Daniel:4:12 @Its leaves were fair and it had much fruit, and in it was food enough for all: the beasts of the field had shade under it, and the birds of heaven were resting in its branches, and it gave food to all living things.

bbe@Daniel:4:14 @Crying out with a loud voice; and this is what he said: Let the tree be cut down and its branches broken off; let its leaves be taken off and its fruit sent in every direction: let the beasts get away from under it and the birds from its branches:

bbe@Daniel:4:15 @But keep its broken end and its roots still in the earth, even with a band of iron and brass; let him have the young grass of the field for food, and let him be wet with the dew of heaven, and let his part be with the beasts.

bbe@Daniel:4:17 @This order is fixed by the watchers, and the decision is by the word of the holy ones: so that the living may be certain that the Most High is ruler over the kingdom of men, and gives it to any man at his pleasure, lifting up over it the lowest of men.

bbe@Daniel:4:18 @This dream I, King Nebuchadnezzar, saw; and do you, O Belteshazzar, make clear the sense of it, for all the wise men of my kingdom are unable to make the sense of it clear to me; but you are able, for the spirit of the holy gods is in you.

bbe@Daniel:4:19 @Then Daniel, whose name was Belteshazzar, was at a loss for a time, his thoughts troubling him. The king made answer and said, Belteshazzar, do not be troubled by the dream or by the sense of it. Belteshazzar, answering, said, My lord, may the dream be about your haters, and its sense about those who are against you.

bbe@Daniel:4:21 @Which had fair leaves and much fruit, and had in it food for all; under which the beasts of the field were living, and in the branches of which the birds of heaven had their resting-places:

bbe@Daniel:4:22 @It is you, O King, who have become great and strong: for your power is increased and stretching up to heaven, and your rule to the end of the earth.

bbe@Daniel:4:24 @This is the sense of it, O King, and it is the decision of the Most High which has come on my lord the king:

bbe@Daniel:4:25 @That they will send you out from among men, to be with the beasts of the field; they will give you grass for your food like the oxen, and you will be wet with the dew of heaven, and seven times will go by you, till you are certain that the Most High is ruler in the kingdom of men, and gives it to any man at his pleasure.

bbe@Daniel:4:26 @And as they gave orders to let the broken end and the roots of the tree be, so your kingdom will be safe for you after it is clear to you that the heavens are ruling.

bbe@Daniel:4:31 @While the word was still in the king's mouth, a voice came down from heaven, saying, O King Nebuchadnezzar, to you it is said: The kingdom has gone from you:

bbe@Daniel:4:32 @And they will send you out from among men, to be with the beasts of the field; they will give you grass for your food like the oxen, and seven times will go by you, till you are certain that the Most High is ruler in the kingdom of men, and gives it to any man at his pleasure.

bbe@Daniel:4:33 @That very hour the order about Nebuchadnezzar was put into effect: and he was sent out from among men, and had grass for his food like the oxen, and his body was wet with the dew of heaven, till his hair became long as eagles' feathers and his nails like those of birds.

bbe@Daniel:5:2 @Belshazzar, while he was overcome with wine, gave orders for them to put before him the gold and silver vessels which Nebuchadnezzar, his father, had taken from the Temple in Jerusalem; so that the king and his lords, his wives and his other women, might take their drink from them.

bbe@Daniel:5:5 @In that very hour the fingers of a man's hand were seen, writing opposite the support for the light on the white wall of the king's house, and the king saw the part of the hand which was writing.

bbe@Daniel:5:7 @The king, crying out with a loud voice, said that the users of secret arts, the Chaldaeans, and the readers of signs, were to be sent for. The king made answer and said to the wise men of Babylon, Whoever is able to make out this writing, and make clear to me the sense of it, will be clothed in purple and have a chain of gold round his neck, and will be a ruler of high authority in the kingdom.

bbe@Daniel:5:8 @Then all the king's wise men came in: but they were not able to make out the writing or give the sense of it to the king.

bbe@Daniel:5:11 @There is a man in your kingdom in whom is the spirit of the holy gods; and in the days of your father, light and reason like the wisdom of the gods were seen in him: and King Nebuchadnezzar, your father, made him master of the wonder-workers, and the users of secret arts, and the Chaldaeans, and the readers of signs;

bbe@Daniel:5:12 @Because a most special spirit, and knowledge and reason and the power of reading dreams and unfolding dark sayings and answering hard questions, were seen to be in him, even in Daniel (named Belteshazzar by the king): now let Daniel be sent for, and he will make clear the sense of the writing

bbe@Daniel:5:14 @And I have had news of you, that the spirit of the gods is in you, and that light and reason and special wisdom have been seen in you.

bbe@Daniel:5:15 @And now the wise men, the users of secret arts, have been sent in before me for the purpose of reading this writing and making clear to me the sense of it: but they are not able to make clear the sense of the thing:

bbe@Daniel:5:16 @And I have had news of you, that you have the power of making things clear, and of answering hard questions: now if you are able to make out the writing and give me the sense of it, you will be clothed in purple and have a gold chain round your neck and be a ruler of high authority in the kingdom.

bbe@Daniel:5:17 @Then Daniel made answer and said to the king, Keep your offerings for yourself, and give your rewards to another; but I, after reading the writing to the king, will give him the sense of it.

bbe@Daniel:5:19 @And because of the great power he gave him, all peoples and nations and languages were shaking in fear before him: some he put to death and others he kept living, at his pleasure, lifting up some and putting others down as it pleased him.

bbe@Daniel:5:20 @But when his heart was lifted up and his spirit became hard with pride, he was put down from his place as king, and they took his glory from him:

bbe@Daniel:5:21 @And he was sent out from among the sons of men; and his heart was made like the beasts', and he was living with the asses of the fields; he had grass for his food like the oxen, and his body was wet with the dew of heaven, till he was certain that the Most High is ruler in the kingdom of men, and gives power over it to anyone at his pleasure.

bbe@Daniel:5:23 @But you have been lifting yourself up against the Lord of heaven, and they have put the vessels of his house before you, and you and your lords, your wives and your women, have taken wine in them; and you have given praise to gods of silver and gold, of brass and iron and wood and stone, who are without the power of seeing or hearing, and without knowledge: and to the God in whose hand your breath is, and whose are all your ways, you have not given glory;

bbe@Daniel:5:24 @Then the part of the hand was sent out from before him, and this writing was recorded.

bbe@Daniel:5:25 @And this is the writing which was recorded, Mene, tekel, peres.

bbe@Daniel:5:29 @Then, by the order of Belshazzar, they put a purple robe on Daniel, and a gold chain round his neck, and a public statement was made that he was to be a ruler of high authority in the kingdom.

bbe@Daniel:6:3 @Then this Daniel did his work better than the chief rulers and the captains, because there was a special spirit in him; and it was the king's purpose to put him over all the kingdom.

bbe@Daniel:6:4 @Then the chief rulers and the captains were looking for some cause for putting Daniel in the wrong in connection with the kingdom, but they were unable to put forward any wrongdoing or error against him; because he was true, and no error or wrong was to be seen in him.

bbe@Daniel:6:5 @Then these men said, We will only get a reason for attacking Daniel in connection with the law of his God.

bbe@Daniel:6:7 @All the chief rulers of the kingdom, the chiefs and the captains, the wise men and the rulers, have made a common decision to put in force a law having the king's authority, and to give a strong order, that whoever makes any request to any god or man but you, O King, for thirty days, is to be put into the lions' hole.

bbe@Daniel:6:8 @Now, O King, put the order in force, signing the writing so that it may not be changed, like the law of the Medes and Persians which may not come to an end.

bbe@Daniel:6:9 @For this reason King Darius put his name on the writing and the order.

bbe@Daniel:6:10 @And Daniel, on hearing that the writing had been signed, went into his house; (now he had windows in his room on the roof opening in the direction of Jerusalem;) and three times a day he went down on his knees in prayer and praise before his God, as he had done before.

bbe@Daniel:6:14 @When this thing came to the king's ears, it was very evil to him, and his heart was fixed on keeping Daniel safe, and till the going down of the sun he was doing everything in his power to get him free

bbe@Daniel:6:17 @Then they got a stone and put it over the mouth of the hole, and it was stamped with the king's stamp and with the stamp of the lords, so that the decision about Daniel might not be changed.

bbe@Daniel:6:22 @My God has sent his angel to keep the lions' mouths shut, and they have done me no damage: because I was seen to be without sin before him; and further, before you, O King, I have done no wrong.

bbe@Daniel:6:23 @Then the king was very glad, and gave orders for them to take Daniel up out of the hole. So Daniel was taken up out of the hole and he was seen to be untouched, because he had faith in his God.

bbe@Daniel:6:24 @And at the king's order, they took those men who had said evil against Daniel, and put them in the lions' hole, with their wives and their children; and they had not got to the floor of the hole before the lions overcame them and all their bones were broken.

bbe@Daniel:6:26 @It is my order that in all the kingdom of which I am ruler, men are to be shaking with fear before the God of Daniel: for he is the living God, unchanging for ever, and his kingdom is one which will never come to destruction, his rule will go on to the end.

bbe@Daniel:7:1 @In the first year of Belshazzar, king of Babylon, Daniel saw a dream, and visions came into his head on his bed: then he put the dream in writing.

bbe@Daniel:7:4 @The first was like a lion and had eagle's wings; while I was watching its wings were pulled off, and it was lifted up from the earth and placed on two feet like a man, and a man's heart was given to it.

bbe@Daniel:7:5 @And I saw another beast, like a bear, and it was lifted up on one side, and three side-bones were in its mouth, between its teeth: and they said to it, Up! take much flesh.

bbe@Daniel:7:6 @After this I saw another beast, like a leopard, which had on its back four wings like those of a bird; and the beast had four heads, and the power of a ruler was given to it.

bbe@Daniel:7:7 @After this, in my vision of the night, I saw a fourth beast, a thing causing fear and very troubling, full of power and very strong; and it had great iron teeth: it took its food, crushing some of it to bits and stamping down the rest with its feet: it was different from all the beasts before it; and it had ten horns.

bbe@Daniel:7:8 @I was watching the horns with care, and I saw another coming up among them, a little one, before which three of the first horns were pulled up by the roots: and there were eyes like a man's eyes in this horn, and a mouth saying great things.

bbe@Daniel:7:9 @I went on looking till the seats of kings were placed, and one like a very old man took his seat: his clothing was white as snow, and the hair of his head was like clean wool; his seat was flames of fire and its wheels burning fire.

bbe@Daniel:7:11 @Then I saw--because of the voice of the great words which the horn said--I saw till the beast was put to death, and its body was given to destruction, and the beast was given to the burning of fire.

bbe@Daniel:7:12 @As for the rest of the beasts, their authority was taken away: but they let them go on living for a measure of time.

bbe@Daniel:7:13 @I saw in visions of the night, and there was coming with the clouds of heaven one like a man, and he came to the one who was very old, and they took him near before him.

bbe@Daniel:7:14 @And to him was given authority and glory and a kingdom; and all peoples, nations, and languages were his servants: his authority is an eternal authority which will not come to an end, and his kingdom is one which will not come to destruction.

bbe@Daniel:7:15 @As for me, Daniel, my spirit was pained because of this, and the visions of my head were troubling me.

bbe@Daniel:7:16 @I came near to one of those who were waiting there, questioning him about what all this was

bbe@Daniel:7:18 @But the saints of the Most High will take the kingdom, and it will be theirs for ever, even for ever and ever.

bbe@Daniel:7:19 @Then it was my desire to have certain knowledge about the fourth beast, which was different from all the others, a cause of great fear, whose teeth were of iron and his nails of brass; who took his food, crushing some of it to bits and stamping on the rest with his feet;

bbe@Daniel:7:22 @Till he came, who was very old, and the decision was made and the authority was given to the saints of the Most High; and the time came when the saints took the kingdom.

bbe@Daniel:7:23 @This is what he said: The fourth beast is a fourth kingdom which will come on earth, different from all the kingdoms, and it will overcome all the earth, crushing it down and smashing it.

bbe@Daniel:7:26 @But the judge will be seated, and they will put an end to his authority, to overcome it and send complete destruction on it.

bbe@Daniel:7:27 @And the kingdom and the authority and the power of the kingdoms under all the heaven will be given to the people of the saints of the Most High: his kingdom is an eternal kingdom, and all powers will be his servants and do his pleasure.

bbe@Daniel:8:2 @And I saw in the vision; and when I saw it, I was in the strong town Shushan, which is in the country of Elam; and in the vision I was by the water-door of the Ulai.

bbe@Daniel:8:3 @And lifting up my eyes, I saw, there before the stream, a male sheep with two horns: and the two horns were high, but one was higher than the other, the higher one coming up last.

bbe@Daniel:8:5 @And while I was giving thought to this, I saw a he-goat coming from the west over the face of all the earth without touching the earth: and the he-goat had a great horn between his eyes.

bbe@Daniel:8:7 @And I saw him come right up to the sheep, and he was moved with wrath against him, attacking the sheep so that his two horns were broken; and the sheep had not strength to keep his place before him, but was pushed down on the earth and crushed under his feet: and there was no one to get the sheep out of his power.

bbe@Daniel:8:8 @And the he-goat became very great: and when he was strong, the great horn was broken, and in its place came up four other horns turned to the four winds of heaven.

bbe@Daniel:8:9 @And out of one of them came another horn, a little one, which became very great, stretching to the south and to the east and to the beautiful land.

bbe@Daniel:8:10 @And it became great, even as high as the army of heaven, pulling down some of the army, even of the stars, to the earth and crushing them under its feet.

bbe@Daniel:8:11 @It made itself great, even as great as the lord of the army; and by it the regular burned offering was taken away, and the place overturned and the holy place made waste.

bbe@Daniel:8:12 @... against the regular burned offering; and... crushed down to the earth, and it did its pleasure and things went well for it.

bbe@Daniel:8:15 @And it came about that when I, Daniel, had seen this vision, I had a desire for the sense of it to be unfolded; and I saw one before me in the form of a man.

bbe@Daniel:8:17 @So he came and took his place near where I was; and when he came, I was full of fear and went down on my face: but he said to me, Let it be clear to you, O son of man; for the vision has to do with the time of the end.

bbe@Daniel:8:18 @Now while he was talking to me, I went into a deep sleep with my face to the earth: but touching me, he put me on my feet where I had been

bbe@Daniel:8:19 @And he said, See, I will make clear to you what is to come in the later time of the wrath: for it has to do with the fixed time of the end.

bbe@Daniel:8:20 @The sheep which you saw with two horns, they are the kings of Media and Persia.

bbe@Daniel:8:22 @And as for that which was broken, in place of which four came up, four kingdoms will come up from his nation, but not with his power.

bbe@Daniel:8:25 @And his designs will be turned against the holy people, causing deceit to do well in his hand; in his heart he will make himself great, and send destruction on numbers who are living unconscious of their danger; and he will put himself up against the prince of princes; but he will be broken, though not by men's hands.

bbe@Daniel:8:26 @And the vision of evenings and mornings which has been talked of is true: and keep the vision secret; for it has to do with the far-off future.

bbe@Daniel:8:27 @And I, Daniel, was ill for some days; then I got up and did the king's business: and I was full of wonder at the vision, but no one was able to give the sense of it.

bbe@Daniel:9:3 @And turning my face to the Lord God, I gave myself up to prayer, requesting his grace, going without food, in haircloth and dust.

bbe@Daniel:9:4 @And I made prayer to the Lord my God, putting our sins before him, and said, O Lord, the great God, greatly to be feared. keeping your agreement and mercy with those who have love for you and do your orders;

bbe@Daniel:9:9 @With the Lord our God are mercies and forgiveness, for we have gone against him;

bbe@Daniel:9:13 @As it was recorded in the law of Moses, all this evil has come on us: but we have made no prayer for grace from the Lord our God that we might be turned from our evil doings and come to true wisdom.

bbe@Daniel:9:14 @So the Lord has been watching over this evil and has made it come on us: for the Lord our God is upright in all his acts which he has done, and we have not given ear to his voice.

bbe@Daniel:9:15 @And now, O Lord our God, who took your people out of the land of Egypt with a strong hand and made a great name for yourself even to this day; we are sinners, we have done evil.

bbe@Daniel:9:19 @O Lord, give ear; O Lord, have forgiveness; O Lord, take note and do; let there be no more waiting; for the honour of your name, O my God, because your town and your people are named by your name.

bbe@Daniel:9:24 @Seventy weeks have been fixed for your people and your holy town, to let wrongdoing be complete and sin come to its full limit, and for the clearing away of evil-doing and the coming in of eternal righteousness: so that the vision and the word of the prophet may be stamped as true, and to put the holy oil on a most holy place.

bbe@Daniel:9:25 @Have then the certain knowledge that from the going out of the word for the building again of Jerusalem till the coming of a prince, on whom the holy oil has been put, will be seven weeks: in sixty-two weeks its building will be complete, with square and earthwork.

bbe@Daniel:9:26 @And at the end of the times, even after the sixty-two weeks, one on whom the holy oil has been put will be cut off and have no...; and the town and the holy place will be made waste together with a prince; and the end will come with an overflowing of waters, and even to the end there will be war; the making waste which has been fixed.

bbe@Daniel:9:27 @And a strong order will be sent out against the great number for one week; and so for half of the week the offering and the meal offering will come to an end; and in its place will be an unclean thing causing fear; till the destruction which has been fixed is let loose on him who has made waste.

bbe@Daniel:10:1 @In the third year of Cyrus, king of Persia, a secret was unfolded to Daniel, whose name was Belteshazzar; and the thing was true, even a hard work: and he had knowledge of it, and the vision was clear to him.

bbe@Daniel:10:7 @And I, Daniel, was the only one who saw the vision, for the men who were with me did not see it; but a great shaking came on them and they went in flight to take cover.

bbe@Daniel:10:9 @But the sound of his words came to my ears, and on hearing his voice I went into a deep sleep with my face to the earth

bbe@Daniel:10:11 @And he said to me, O Daniel, you man dearly loved, take in the sense of the words I say to you and get up on to your feet: for to you I am now sent; and when he had said this to me I got on to my feet, shaking with fear.

bbe@Daniel:10:12 @Then he said to me, Have no fear, Daniel; for from the first day when you gave your heart to getting wisdom and making yourself poor in spirit before your God, your words have come to his ears: and I have come because of your words.

bbe@Daniel:10:13 @But the angel of the kingdom of Persia put himself against me for twenty-one days; but Michael, one of the chief angels, came to my help; and when I came he was still there with the angel of the kings of Persia.

bbe@Daniel:10:17 @For how may this servant of my lord have talk with my lord? for, as for me, straight away my strength went from me and there was no breath in my body.

bbe@Daniel:10:19 @And he said to me, O man greatly loved, have no fear: peace be with you, be strong and let your heart be lifted up. And at his words I became strong, and said, Let my lord say on, for you have given me strength.

bbe@Daniel:10:20 @Then he said, It is clear to you why I have come to you. And now I will give you an account of what is recorded in the true writings:

bbe@Daniel:10:21 @But I am going back to make war with the angel of Persia, and when I am gone, the angel of Greece will come. And there is no one on my side against these, but Michael, your angel.

bbe@Daniel:11:1 @And as for me, in the first year of Darius the Mede I was on his side to make his position safe and make him strong.

bbe@Daniel:11:3 @And a strong king will come to power, ruling with great authority and doing whatever is his pleasure.

bbe@Daniel:11:4 @And when he has become strong, his kingdom will be broken and parted to the four winds of heaven; but not to his offspring, for it will be uprooted; and his kingdom will be for the others and not for these: but not with the same authority as his.

bbe@Daniel:11:6 @And at the end of years they will be joined together; and the daughter of the king of the south will come to the king of the north to make an agreement: but she will not keep the strength of her arm; and his offspring will not keep their place; but she will be uprooted, with those who were the cause of her coming, and her son, and he who took her in those times.

bbe@Daniel:11:11 @And the king of the south will be moved with wrath, and will come out and make war on him, on this same king of the north: and he will get together a great army, but the army will be given into his hand

bbe@Daniel:11:13 @And again the king of the north will get together an army greater than the first; and he will make an attack on him at the end of years, with a great army and much wealth.

bbe@Daniel:11:14 @In those times, a number will take up arms against the king of the south: and the children of the violent among your people will be lifting themselves up to make the vision come true; but it will be their downfall.

bbe@Daniel:11:15 @So the king of the north will come, and put up earthworks and take a well-armed town: and the forces of the king of the south will make an attempt to keep their position, even the best of his army, but they will not have strength to do so.

bbe@Daniel:11:16 @And he who comes against him will do his pleasure, and no one will be able to keep his place before him: he will take up his position in the beautiful land and in his hand there will be destruction.

bbe@Daniel:11:17 @And it will be his purpose to come with the strength of all his kingdom, but in place of this he will make an agreement with him; and he will give him the daughter of women to send destruction on it; but this will not take place or come about.

bbe@Daniel:11:20 @Then his place will be taken by one who will send out a man with the glory of a king to get wealth together; but after a short time destruction will overtake him, but not in wrath or in the fight.

bbe@Daniel:11:23 @And from the time when they make an agreement with him, he will be working falsely: for he will take up arms suddenly with a small force,

bbe@Daniel:11:25 @And he will put in motion his power and his strength against the king of the south with a great army; and the king of the south will go to war with a very great and strong army: but he will be forced to give way, because of their designs against him;

bbe@Daniel:11:27 @And as for these two kings, their hearts will be fixed on doing evil and they will say false words at one table; but it will come to nothing: for the end will be at the time fixed.

bbe@Daniel:11:28 @And he will go back to his land with great wealth; and his heart will be against the holy agreement; and he will do his pleasure and go back to his land.

bbe@Daniel:11:29 @At the time fixed he will come back and come into the south; but in the later time it will not be as it was before.

bbe@Daniel:11:30 @For those who go out from the west will come against him, and he will be in fear and will go back, full of wrath against the holy agreement; and he will do his pleasure: and he will go back and be united with those who have given up the holy agreement.

bbe@Daniel:11:31 @And armies sent by him will take up their position and they will make unclean the holy place, even the strong place, and take away the regular burned offering and put in its place an unclean thing causing fear.

bbe@Daniel:11:34 @Now at the time of their downfall they will have a little help, but numbers will be joined to them in the town, and in their separate heritages.

bbe@Daniel:11:35 @And some of those who are wise will have wisdom in testing themselves and making themselves clean, till the time of the end: for it is still for the fixed time.

bbe@Daniel:11:38 @But in place of this he will give honour to the god of armed places, and to a god of whom his fathers had no knowledge he will give honour with gold and silver and jewels and things to be desired.

bbe@Daniel:11:40 @And at the time of the end, the king of the south will make an attack on him: and the king of the north will come against him like a storm-wind, with war-carriages and horsemen and numbers of ships; and he will go through many lands like overflowing waters.

bbe@Daniel:11:45 @He will put the tents of his great house between the sea and the beautiful holy mountain: but he will come to his end with no helper.

bbe@Daniel:12:6 @And I said to the man clothed in linen, who was over the waters of the river, How long will it be to the end of these wonders?

bbe@Daniel:12:7 @Then in my hearing the man clothed in linen, who was over the river, lifting up his right hand and his left hand to heaven, took an oath by him who is living for ever that it would be a time, times, and a half; and when the power of the crusher of the holy people comes to an end, all these things will be ended.

bbe@Daniel:12:12 @A blessing will be on the man who goes on waiting, and comes to the thousand, three hundred and thirty-five days.

bbe@Hosea:1:4 @And the Lord said to him, Give him the name of Jezreel, for after a little time I will send punishment for the blood of Jezreel on the line of Jehu, and put an end to the kingdom of Israel.

bbe@Hosea:1:10 @But still the number of the children of Israel will be like the sand of the sea, which may not be measured or numbered; and in place of its being said to them, You are not my people, it will be said to them, You are the sons of the living God

bbe@Hosea:2:2 @Take up the cause against your mother, take it up, for she is not my wife, and I am not her husband; let her put away her loose ways from her face, and her false ways from between her breasts;

bbe@Hosea:2:7 @And if she goes after her lovers she will not overtake them; if she makes search for them she will not see them; then will she say, I will go back to my first husband, for then it was better for me than now.

bbe@Hosea:2:8 @For she had no knowledge that it was I who gave her the grain and the wine and the oil, increasing her silver and gold which they gave to the Baal.

bbe@Hosea:2:9 @So I will take away again my grain in its time and my wine, and I will take away my wool and my linen with which her body might have been covered.

bbe@Hosea:2:13 @And I will give her punishment for the days of the Baals, to whom she has been burning perfumes, when she made herself fair with her nose-rings and her jewels, and went after her lovers, giving no thought to me, says the Lord.

bbe@Hosea:2:18 @And in that day I will make an agreement for them with the beasts of the field and the birds of heaven and the things which go low on the earth; I will put an end to the bow and the sword and war in all the land, and will make them take their rest in peace.

bbe@Hosea:2:20 @I will take you as my bride in good faith, and you will have knowledge of the Lord.

bbe@Hosea:2:21 @And it will be, in that day, says the Lord, that I will give an answer to the heavens, and the heavens to the earth;

bbe@Hosea:2:22 @And the earth will give its answer to the grain and the wine and the oil, and they will give an answer to Jezreel;

bbe@Hosea:3:4 @For the children of Israel will for a long time be without king and without ruler, without offerings and without pillars, and without ephod or images.

bbe@Hosea:4:1 @Give ear to the word of the Lord, O children of Israel; for the Lord has a cause against the people of this land, because there is no good faith in it, and no mercy and no knowledge of God in the land.

bbe@Hosea:4:2 @There is cursing and broken faith, violent death and attacks on property, men are untrue in married life, houses are broken into, and there is blood touching blood.

bbe@Hosea:4:3 @Because of this the land will be dry, and everyone living in it will be wasted away, with the beasts of the field and the birds of heaven; even the fishes of the sea will be taken away.

bbe@Hosea:4:4 @Let no man go to law or make protests, for your people are like those who go to law with a priest.

bbe@Hosea:4:5 @You will not be able to keep on your feet by day, and by night the prophet will be falling down with you, and I will give your mother to destruction.

bbe@Hosea:4:12 @My people get knowledge from their tree, and their rod gives them news; for a false spirit is the cause of their wandering, and they have been false to their God.

bbe@Hosea:4:14 @I will not give punishment to your daughters or your brides for their evil behaviour; for they make themselves separate with loose women, and make offerings with those who are used for sex purposes in the worship of the gods: the people who have no wisdom will be sent away.

bbe@Hosea:4:18 @Their drink has become bitter; they are completely false; her rulers take pleasure in shame.

bbe@Hosea:5:1 @Give ear to this, O priests; give attention, O Israel, and you, family of the king; for you are to be judged; you have been a deceit at Mizpah and a net stretched out on Tabor.

bbe@Hosea:5:2 @They have gone deep in the evil ways of Shittim, but I am the judge of all.

bbe@Hosea:5:4 @Their works will not let them come back to their God, for a false spirit is in them and they have no knowledge of the Lord.

bbe@Hosea:5:6 @They will go, with their flocks and their herds, in search of the Lord, but they will not see him; he has taken himself out of their view.

bbe@Hosea:5:7 @They have been false to the Lord; they have given birth to strange children; now the new moon will make them waste with their fields.

bbe@Hosea:5:11 @Ephraim is troubled; he is crushed by his judges, because he took pleasure in walking after deceit.

bbe@Hosea:6:5 @So I have had it cut in stones; I gave them teaching by the words of my mouth;

bbe@Hosea:6:8 @Gilead is a town of evil-doers, marked with blood.

bbe@Hosea:6:9 @And like a band of thieves waiting for a man, so are the priests watching secretly the way of those going quickly to Shechem, for they are working with an evil design.

bbe@Hosea:7:3 @In their sin they make a king for themselves, and rulers in their deceit.

bbe@Hosea:7:4 @They are all untrue; they are like a burning oven; the bread-maker does not make up the fire from the time when the paste is mixed till it is leavened.

bbe@Hosea:7:5 @On the day of our king, the rulers made him ill with the heat of wine; his hand was stretched out with the men of pride.

bbe@Hosea:7:6 @For they have made their hearts ready like an oven, while they are waiting secretly; their wrath is sleeping all night; in the morning it is burning like a flaming fire.

bbe@Hosea:7:8 @Ephraim is mixed with the peoples; Ephraim is a cake not turned.

bbe@Hosea:7:9 @Men from other lands have made waste his strength, and he is not conscious of it; grey hairs have come on him here and there, and he has no knowledge of it.

bbe@Hosea:7:11 @And Ephraim is like a foolish dove, without wisdom; they send out their cry to Egypt, they go to Assyria.

bbe@Hosea:8:4 @They have put up kings, but not by me; they have made princes, but I had no knowledge of it; they have made images of silver and gold, so that they may be cut off.

bbe@Hosea:8:5 @I will have nothing to do with your young ox, O Samaria; my wrath is burning against them; how long will it be before the children of Israel make themselves clean?

bbe@Hosea:8:6 @The workman made it, it is no god; the ox of Samaria will be broken into bits.

bbe@Hosea:8:7 @For they have been planting the wind, and their fruit will be the storm; his grain has no stem, it will give no meal, and if it does, a strange nation will take it.

bbe@Hosea:8:10 @But though they give money to the nations for help, still I will send them in all directions; and in a short time they will be without a king and rulers.

bbe@Hosea:8:12 @Though I put my law in writing for him in ten thousand rules, they are to him as a strange thing.

bbe@Hosea:9:4 @They will give no wine offering to the Lord, they will not make offerings ready for him; their bread will be like the bread of those in sorrow; all who take it will be unclean, because their bread will be only for their desire, it will not come into the house of the Lord.

bbe@Hosea:9:6 @For see, they are going away into Assyria; Egypt will get them together, Memphis will be their last resting-place; their fair silver vessels will be covered over with field plants, and thorns will come up in their tents.

bbe@Hosea:9:7 @The days of punishment, the days of reward are come; Israel will be put to shame; the prophet is foolish, the man who has the spirit is off his head, because of your great sin.

bbe@Hosea:9:10 @I made discovery of Israel as of grapes in the waste land; I saw your fathers as the first-fruits of the fig-tree in her early fruit time; but they came to Baal-peor, and made themselves holy to the thing of shame, and became disgusting like that to which they gave their love.

bbe@Hosea:9:11 @As for Ephraim, their glory will go in flight like a bird: there will be no birth and no one with child and no giving of life.

bbe@Hosea:9:12 @Even though their children have come to growth I will take them away, so that not a man will be there; for their evil-doing will be complete and they will be put to shame because of it.

bbe@Hosea:9:14 @O Lord, what will you give them? Give them bodies which may not give birth and breasts without milk.

bbe@Hosea:9:16 @The rod has come on Ephraim, their root is dry, let them have no fruit; even though they give birth, I will put to death the dearest fruit of their bodies.

bbe@Hosea:10:1 @Israel is a branching vine, full of fruit; as his fruit is increased, so the number of his altars is increased; as the land is fair, so they have made fair pillars.

bbe@Hosea:10:4 @Their words are foolish; they make agreements with false oaths, so punishment will come up like a poison-plant in a ploughed field.

bbe@Hosea:10:5 @The people of Samaria will be full of fear because of the ox of Beth-aven; its people will have sorrow for it, and its priests will give cries of grief for its glory, for the glory has gone in flight.

bbe@Hosea:10:6 @And they will take it to Assyria and give it to the great king; shame will come on Ephraim, and Israel will be shamed because of its image.

bbe@Hosea:10:9 @O Israel, you have done evil from the days of Gibeah; there they took up their position, so that the fighting against the children of evil might not overtake them in Gibeah

bbe@Hosea:10:12 @Put in the seed of righteousness, get in your grain in mercy, let your unploughed earth be turned up: for it is time to make search for the Lord, till he comes and sends righteousness on you like rain.

bbe@Hosea:10:13 @You have been ploughing sin, you have got in a store of evil, the fruit of deceit has been your food: for you put faith in your way, in the number of your men of war.

bbe@Hosea:10:14 @So a great outcry will go up from among your people, and all your strong places will be broken, as Beth-arbel was broken by Shalman in the day of war, as the mother was broken on the rocks with her children.

bbe@Hosea:11:4 @I made them come after me with the cords of a man, with the bands of love; I was to them as one who took the yoke from off their mouths, putting meat before them.

bbe@Hosea:11:8 @How may I give you up, O Ephraim? how may I be your saviour, O Israel? how may I make you like Admah? how may I do to you as I did to Zeboim? My heart is turned in me, it is soft with pity.

bbe@Hosea:11:10 @They will go after the Lord; his cry will be like that of a lion; his cry will be loud, and the children will come from the west, shaking with fear;

bbe@Hosea:11:11 @Shaking with fear like a bird, they will come out of Egypt, like a dove out of the land of Assyria: and I will give them rest in their houses, says the Lord

bbe@Hosea:11:12 @The deceit of Ephraim and the false words of Israel are about me on every side....

bbe@Hosea:12:1 @Ephraim's food is the wind, and he goes after the east wind: deceit and destruction are increasing day by day; they make an agreement with Assyria, and take oil into Egypt.

bbe@Hosea:12:3 @In the body of his mother he took his brother by the foot, and in his strength he was fighting with God;

bbe@Hosea:12:4 @He had a fight with the angel and overcame him; he made request for grace to him with weeping; he came face to face with him in Beth-el and there his words came to him;

bbe@Hosea:12:6 @So then, come back to your God; keep mercy and right, and be waiting at all times on your God.

bbe@Hosea:12:7 @As for Canaan, the scales of deceit are in his hands; he takes pleasure in twisted ways.

bbe@Hosea:12:11 @In Gilead there is evil. They are quite without value; in Gilgal they make offerings of oxen; truly their altars are like masses of stones in the hollows of a ploughed field.

bbe@Hosea:12:14 @I have been bitterly moved to wrath by Ephraim; so that his blood will be on him, and the Lord will make his shame come back on him.

bbe@Hosea:13:8 @I will come face to face with them like a bear whose young ones have been taken from her, and their inmost hearts will be broken; there the dogs will make a meal of them; they will be wounded by the beasts of the field.

bbe@Hosea:13:13 @The pains of a woman in childbirth will come on him: he is an unwise son, for at this time it is not right for him to keep his place when children come to birth.

bbe@Hosea:13:14 @I will give the price to make them free from the power of the underworld, I will be their saviour from death: O death! where are your pains? O underworld! where is your destruction? my eyes will have no pity.

bbe@Hosea:13:15 @Though he gives fruit among his brothers, an east wind will come, the wind of the Lord coming up from the waste land, and his spring will become dry, his fountain will be without water: it will make waste the store of all the vessels of his desire

bbe@Hosea:13:16 @Samaria will be made waste, for she has gone against her God: they will be cut down by the sword, their little children will be broken on the rocks, their women who are with child will be cut open.

bbe@Hosea:14:2 @Take with you words, and come back to the Lord; say to him, Let there be forgiveness for all wrongdoing, so that we may take what is good, and give in payment the fruit of our lips.

bbe@Hosea:14:8 @As for Ephraim, what has he to do with false gods any longer? I have given an answer and I will keep watch over him; I am like a branching fir-tree, from me comes your fruit.

bbe@Joel:1:3 @Give the story of it to your children, and let them give it to their children, and their children to another generation.

bbe@Joel:1:5 @Come out of your sleep, you who are overcome with wine, and give yourselves to weeping; give cries of sorrow, all you drinkers of wine, because of the sweet wine; for it has been cut off from your mouths.

bbe@Joel:1:6 @For a nation has come up over my land, strong and without number; his teeth are the teeth of a lion, and he has the back teeth of a great lion.

bbe@Joel:1:7 @By him my vine is made waste and my fig-tree broken: he has taken all its fruit and sent it down to the earth; its branches are made white.

bbe@Joel:1:14 @Let a time be fixed for going without food, have a holy meeting, let the old men, even all the people of the land, come together to the house of the Lord your God, crying out to the Lord.

bbe@Joel:1:15 @Sorrow for the day! for the day of the Lord is near, and as destruction from the Ruler of all it will come.

bbe@Joel:1:19 @O Lord, my cry goes up to you: for fire has put an end to the grass-lands of the waste, and all the trees of the field are burned with its flame.

bbe@Joel:1:20 @The beasts of the field are turning to you with desire: for the water-streams are dry and fire has put an end to the grass-lands of the waste.

bbe@Joel:2:6 @At their coming the people are bent with pain: all faces become red together.

bbe@Joel:2:11 @And the Lord is thundering before his forces; for very great is his army; for he is strong who gives effect to his word: for the day of the Lord is great and greatly to be feared, and who has strength against it?

bbe@Joel:2:12 @But even now, says the Lord, come back to me with all your heart, keeping from food, with weeping and with sorrow:

bbe@Joel:2:13 @Let your hearts be broken, and not your clothing, and come back to the Lord your God: for he is full of grace and pity, slow to be angry and great in mercy, ready to be turned from his purpose of punishment.

bbe@Joel:2:14 @May it not be that he will again let his purpose be changed and let a blessing come after him, even a meal offering and a drink offering for the Lord your God?

bbe@Joel:2:15 @Let a horn be sounded in Zion, let a time be fixed for going without food, have a holy meeting:

bbe@Joel:2:17 @Let the priests, the servants of the Lord, be weeping between the covered way and the altar, and let them say, Have mercy on your people, O Lord, do not give up your heritage to shame, so that the nations become their rulers: why let them say among the peoples, Where is their God?

bbe@Joel:2:18 @Then the Lord had a care for the honour of his land and had pity on his people.

bbe@Joel:2:20 @I will send the one from the north far away from you, driving him into a dry and waste land, with his front to the sea of the east and his back to the sea of the west, and the smell of him will go up, even his evil smell will go up.

bbe@Joel:2:21 @Have no fear, O land; be glad with great joy; for the Lord has done great things.

bbe@Joel:2:22 @Have no fear, you beasts of the field, for the grass-lands of the waste are becoming green, for the trees are producing fruit, the fig-tree and the vine give out their strength.

bbe@Joel:2:24 @And the floors will be full of grain, and the crushing-places overflowing with wine and oil.

bbe@Joel:2:28 @And after that, it will come about, says the Lord, that I will send my spirit on all flesh; and your sons and your daughters will be prophets, your old men will have dreams, your young men will see visions:

bbe@Joel:2:29 @And on the servants and the servant-girls in those days I will send my spirit.

bbe@Joel:2:32 @And it will be that whoever makes his prayer to the name of the Lord will be kept safe: for in Mount Zion and in Jerusalem some will be kept safe, as the Lord has said, and will be among the small band marked out by the Lord.

bbe@Joel:3:2 @I will get together all the nations, and make them come down into the valley of Jehoshaphat; and there I will take up with them the cause of my people and of my heritage Israel, whom they have sent wandering among the nations, and of my land which has been parted by them.

bbe@Joel:3:4 @And further, what are you to me, O Tyre and Zidon and all the circle of Philistia? will you give me back any payment? and if you do, quickly and suddenly I will send it back on your head,

bbe@Joel:3:8 @I will give your sons and your daughters into the hands of the children of Judah for a price, and they will give them for a price to the men of Sheba, a nation far off: for the Lord has said it.

bbe@Joel:3:18 @And it will come about in that day that the mountains will be dropping sweet wine, and the hills will be flowing with milk, and all the streams of Judah will be flowing with water; and a fountain will come out from the house of the Lord, watering the valley of acacia-trees.

bbe@Joel:3:19 @Egypt will be a waste and Edom a land of destruction, because of the evil done to the children of Judah, because they have let blood be drained out in their land without cause.

bbe@Amos:1:3 @These are the words of the Lord: For three crimes of Damascus, and for four, I will not let its fate be changed; because they have been crushing Gilead with iron grain-crushing instruments.

bbe@Amos:1:6 @These are the words of the Lord: For three crimes of Gaza, and for four, I will not let its fate be changed; because they took all the people away prisoners, to give them up to Edom.

bbe@Amos:1:7 @And I will send a fire on the wall of Gaza, burning up its great houses:

bbe@Amos:1:9 @These are the words of the Lord: For three crimes of Tyre, and for four, I will not let its fate be changed; because they gave up all the people prisoners to Edom, without giving a thought to the brothers' agreement between them.

bbe@Amos:1:10 @And I will send a fire on the wall of Tyre, burning up its great houses.

bbe@Amos:1:11 @These are the words of the Lord: For three crimes of Edom, and for four, I will not let its fate be changed; because his sword was turned against his brother, without pity, and his wrath was burning at all times, and he was angry for ever.

bbe@Amos:1:13 @These are the words of the Lord: For three crimes of the children of Ammon, and for four, I will not let its fate be changed; because in Gilead they had women with child cut open, so that they might make wider the limits of their land.

bbe@Amos:1:14 @And I will make a fire in the wall of Rabbah, burning up its great houses, with loud cries in the days of war, with a storm in the day of the great wind:

bbe@Amos:2:1 @These are the words of the Lord: For three crimes of Moab, and for four, I will not let its fate be changed; because he had the bones of the king of Edom burned to dust.

bbe@Amos:2:2 @And I will send a fire on Moab, burning up the great houses of Kerioth: and death will come on Moab with noise and outcries and the sound of the horn:

bbe@Amos:2:3 @And I will have the judge cut off from among them, and all their captains I will put to death with him, says the Lord.

bbe@Amos:2:4 @These are the words of the Lord: For three crimes of Judah, and for four, I will not let its fate be changed; because they have given up the law of the Lord, and have not kept his rules; and their false ways, in which their fathers went, have made them go out of the right way.

bbe@Amos:2:6 @These are the words of the Lord: For three crimes of Israel, and for four, I will not let its fate be changed; because they have given the upright man for silver, and the poor for the price of two shoes;

bbe@Amos:2:9 @Though I sent destruction on the Amorite before them, who was tall as the cedar and strong as the oak-tree, cutting off his fruit from on high and his roots from under the earth.

bbe@Amos:2:10 @And I took you up out of the land of Egypt, guiding you for forty years in the waste land, so that you might take for your heritage the land of the Amorite.

bbe@Amos:2:11 @And some of your sons I made prophets, and some of your young men I made separate for myself. Is it not even so, O children of Israel? says the Lord.

bbe@Amos:2:16 @And he who is without fear among the fighting men will go in flight without his clothing in that day, says the Lord.

bbe@Amos:3:3 @Is it possible for two to go walking together, if not by agreement?

bbe@Amos:3:5 @Is it possible for a bird to be taken in a net on the earth where no net has been put for him? will the net come up from the earth if it has taken nothing at all?

bbe@Amos:3:6 @If the horn is sounded in the town will the people not be full of fear? will evil come on a town if the Lord has not done it?

bbe@Amos:3:7 @Certainly the Lord will do nothing without making clear his secret to his servants, the prophets.

bbe@Amos:3:8 @The cry of the lion is sounding; who will not have fear? The Lord God has said the word; is it possible for the prophet to keep quiet?

bbe@Amos:3:9 @Give out the news in the great houses of Assyria and in the land of Egypt, and say, Come together on the mountains of Samaria, and see what great outcries are there, and what cruel acts are done in it.

bbe@Amos:3:13 @Give ear now, and give witness against the family of Jacob, says the Lord God, the God of armies;

bbe@Amos:3:15 @And I will send destruction on the winter house with the summer house; the ivory houses will be falling down and the great houses will come to an end, says the Lord.

bbe@Amos:4:2 @The Lord God has taken an oath by his holy name, that the days are coming when they will take you away with hooks, and the rest of you with fish-hooks.

bbe@Amos:4:4 @Come to Beth-el and do evil; to Gilgal, increasing the number of your sins; come with your offerings every morning and your tenths every three days:

bbe@Amos:4:7 @And I have kept back the rain from you, when it was still three months before the grain-cutting: I sent rain on one town and kept it back from another: one part was rained on, and the part where there was no rain became a waste.

bbe@Amos:4:10 @I have sent disease among you, as it was in Egypt: I have put your young men to the sword, and have taken away your horses; I have made the evil smell from your tents come up to your noses: and still you have not come back to me, says the Lord

bbe@Amos:4:12 @So this is what I will do to you, O Israel: and because I will do this to you, be ready for a meeting with your God, O Israel.

bbe@Amos:5:6 @Go to the Lord for help so that you may have life; for fear that he may come like fire bursting out in the family of Joseph, causing destruction, and there will be no one to put it out in Beth-el.

bbe@Amos:5:7 @You who make the work of judging a bitter thing, crushing down righteousness to the earth;

bbe@Amos:5:8 @Go for help to him who makes Orion and the Pleiades, by whom the deep dark is turned into morning, who makes the day black with night; whose voice goes out to the waters of the sea, sending them out over the face of the earth: the Lord is his name;

bbe@Amos:5:13 @So the wise will say nothing in that time; for it is an evil time.

bbe@Amos:5:14 @Go after good and not evil, so that life may be yours: and so the Lord, the God of armies, will be with you, as you say.

bbe@Amos:5:15 @Be haters of evil and lovers of good, and let right be done in the public place: it may be that the Lord, the God of armies, will have mercy on the rest of Joseph.

bbe@Amos:5:18 @Sorrow to you who are looking for the day of the Lord! what is the day of the Lord to you? it is dark and not light.

bbe@Amos:5:19 @As if a man, running away from a lion, came face to face with a bear; or went into the house and put his hand on the wall and got a bite from a snake.

bbe@Amos:5:20 @Will not the day of the Lord be dark and not light? even very dark, with no light shining in it?

bbe@Amos:5:21 @Your feasts are disgusting to me, I will have nothing to do with them; I will take no delight in your holy meetings.

bbe@Amos:5:22 @Even if you give me your burned offerings and your meal offerings, I will not take pleasure in them: I will have nothing to do with the peace-offerings of your fat beasts.

bbe@Amos:5:25 @Did you come to me with offerings of beasts and meal offerings in the waste land for forty years, O Israel?

bbe@Amos:6:6 @Drinking wine in basins, rubbing themselves with the best oils; but they have no grief for the destruction of Joseph.

bbe@Amos:6:7 @So now they will go away prisoners with the first of those who are made prisoners, and the loud cry of those who were stretched out will come to an end.

bbe@Amos:6:8 @The Lord God has taken an oath by himself, says the Lord, the God of armies: the pride of Jacob is disgusting to me, and I have hate for his great houses: so I will give up the town with everything in it.

bbe@Amos:6:9 @Then it will come about that if there are still ten men in a house, death will overtake them.

bbe@Amos:6:10 @And when a man's relation, even the one who is responsible for burning his body, lifting him up to take his bones out of the house, says to him who is in the inmost part of the house, Is there still anyone with you? and he says, No; then he will say, Keep quiet, for the name of the Lord may not be named.

bbe@Amos:6:11 @For see, at the order of the Lord the great house will be full of cracks and the little house will be broken.

bbe@Amos:6:12 @Is it possible for horses to go running on the rock? may the sea be ploughed with oxen? for the right to be turned by you into poison, and the fruit of righteousness into a bitter plant?

bbe@Amos:7:1 @This is what the Lord God let me see: and I saw that, when the growth of the late grass was starting, he made locusts; it was the late growth after the king's cutting was done.

bbe@Amos:7:2 @And it came about that after they had taken all the grass of the land, I said, O Lord God, have mercy: how will Jacob be able to keep his place? for he is small.

bbe@Amos:7:3 @The Lord, changing his purpose about this, said, It will not be.

bbe@Amos:7:4 @This is what the Lord let me see: and I saw that the Lord God sent for a great fire to be the instrument of his punishment; and, after burning up the great deep, it was about to put an end to the Lord's heritage.

bbe@Amos:7:9 @And the high places of Isaac will be unpeopled, and the holy places of Israel will be made waste; and I will come up against the family of Jeroboam with the sword.

bbe@Amos:7:13 @But be a prophet no longer at Beth-el: for it is the holy place of the king, and the king's house.

bbe@Amos:8:1 @This is what the Lord God let me see: and I saw a basket of summer fruit.

bbe@Amos:8:2 @And he said, Amos, what do you see? And I said, A basket of summer fruit. Then the Lord said to me, The end has come to my people Israel; never again will my eyes be shut to their sin.

bbe@Amos:8:3 @And the songs of the king's house will be cries of pain in that day, says the Lord God: great will be the number of the dead bodies, and everywhere they will put them out without a word.

bbe@Amos:8:5 @Saying, When will the new moon be gone, so that we may do trade in grain? and the Sabbath, so that we may put out in the market the produce of our fields? making the measure small and the price great, and trading falsely with scales of deceit;

bbe@Amos:8:8 @Will not the land be shaking with fear because of this, and everyone in it have sorrow? and all of it will be overflowing like the River; and it will be troubled and go down again like the River of Egypt.

bbe@Amos:8:9 @And it will come about in that day, says the Lord God, that I will make the sun go down in the middle of the day, and I will make the earth dark in daylight:

bbe@Amos:8:10 @Your feasts will be turned into sorrow and all your melody into songs of grief; everyone will be clothed with haircloth, and the hair of every head will be cut; I will make the weeping like that for an only son, and the end of it like a bitter day.

bbe@Amos:8:12 @And they will go wandering from sea to sea, and from the north even to the east, running here and there in search of the word of the Lord, and they will not get it.

bbe@Amos:9:1 @I saw the Lord stationed by the side of the altar, giving blows to the tops of the pillars so that the doorsteps were shaking: and he said, I will let all of them be broken with earth-shocks; I will put the last of them to the sword: if any one of them goes in flight he will not get away, not one of them will be safe.

bbe@Amos:9:3 @Though they take cover on the top of Carmel, I will go in search of them and get them out; though they keep themselves from my eyes in the bed of the sea, I will give orders to the great snake there and he will give them a bite:

bbe@Amos:9:5 @For the Lord, the God of armies, is he at whose touch the land is turned to water, and everyone in it will be given up to sorrow; all of it will be overflowing like the River, and will go down again like the River of Egypt;

bbe@Amos:9:6 @It is he who makes his rooms in the heaven, basing his arch on the earth; whose voice goes out to the waters of the sea, and sends them flowing over the face of the earth; the Lord is his name.

bbe@Amos:9:8 @See, the eyes of the Lord are on the evil kingdom, and I will put an end to it in all the earth; but I will not send complete destruction on Jacob, says the Lord.

bbe@Amos:9:10 @All those sinners among my people will be put to the sword who say, Evil will not overtake us or come face to face with us.

bbe@Amos:9:11 @In that day I will put up the tent of David which has come down, and make good its broken places; and I will put up again his damaged walls, building it up as in the past;

bbe@Amos:9:12 @So that the rest of Edom may be their heritage, and all the nations who have been named by my name, says the Lord, who is doing this.

bbe@Amos:9:14 @And I will let the fate of my people Israel be changed, and they will be building up again the waste towns and living in them; they will again be planting vine-gardens and taking the wine for their drink; and they will make gardens and get the fruit of them.

bbe@Obadiah:1:7 @All the men who were united with you have been false to you, driving you out to the edge of the land: the men who were at peace with you have overcome you; they have taken their heritage in your place.

bbe@Obadiah:1:9 @And your men of war, O Teman, will be overcome with fear, so that every one of them may be cut off from the mountain of Esau.

bbe@Obadiah:1:10 @Because you were the cause of violent death and because of your cruel behaviour to your brother Jacob, you will be covered with shame and will be cut off for ever.

bbe@Obadiah:1:12 @Do not see with pleasure your brother's evil day, the day of his fate, and do not be glad over the children of Judah on the day of their destruction, or make wide your mouth on the day of trouble.

bbe@Obadiah:1:13 @Do not go into the doors of my people on the day of their downfall; do not be looking on their trouble with pleasure on the day of their downfall, or put your hands on their goods on the day of their downfall.

bbe@Obadiah:1:15 @For the day of the Lord is coming quickly on all nations: as you have done it will be done to you; the reward of your acts will come on your head.

bbe@Obadiah:1:16 @For as you have been drinking on my holy mountain, so will all the nations go on drinking without end; they will go on drinking and the wine will go down their throats, and they will be as if they had never been.

bbe@Obadiah:1:17 @But in Mount Zion some will be kept safe, and it will be holy; and the children of Jacob will take their heritage.

bbe@Obadiah:1:18 @And the children of Jacob will be a fire and those of Joseph a flame, and the children of Esau dry stems of grass, burned up by them till all is gone: and there will be no people living in Esau; for the Lord has said it.

bbe@Obadiah:1:19 @And they will take the South, and the lowland, and the country of Ephraim, and Gilead, as their heritage.

bbe@Obadiah:1:20 @And those of the children of Israel who were the first to be taken away as prisoners, will have their heritage among the Canaanites as far as Zarephath; and those who were taken away from Jerusalem, who are in Sepharad, will have the towns of the South.

bbe@Jonah:1:1 @And the word of the Lord came to Jonah, the son of Amittai, saying,

bbe@Jonah:1:2 @Up! go to Nineveh, that great town, and let your voice come to it; for their evil-doing has come up before me.

bbe@Jonah:1:3 @And Jonah got up to go in flight to Tarshish, away from the Lord; and he went down to Joppa, and saw there a ship going to Tarshish: so he gave them the price of the journey and went down into it to go with them to Tarshish, away from the Lord.

bbe@Jonah:1:10 @And the men were in great fear, and they said to him, What is this you have done? For the men had knowledge of his flight from the Lord because he had not kept it from them.

bbe@Jonah:1:14 @So, crying to the Lord, they said, Give ear to our prayer, O Lord, give ear, and do not let destruction overtake us because of this man's life; do not put on us the sin of taking life without cause: for you, O Lord, have done what seemed good to you.

bbe@Jonah:1:17 @And the Lord made ready a great fish to take Jonah into its mouth; and Jonah was inside the fish for three days and three nights.

bbe@Jonah:2:9 @But I will make an offering to you with the voice of praise; I will give effect to my oaths. Salvation is the Lord's.

bbe@Jonah:2:10 @And at the Lord's order, the fish sent Jonah out of its mouth on to the dry land.

bbe@Jonah:3:2 @Up! go to Nineveh, that great town, and give it the word which I have given you.

bbe@Jonah:3:5 @And the people of Nineveh had belief in God; and a time was fixed for going without food, and they put on haircloth, from the greatest to the least.

bbe@Jonah:3:6 @And the word came to the king of Nineveh, and he got up from his seat of authority, and took off his robe, and covering himself with haircloth, took his seat in the dust.

bbe@Jonah:3:7 @And he had it given out in Nineveh, By the order of the king and his great men, no man or beast, herd or flock, is to have a taste of anything; let them have no food or water:

bbe@Jonah:3:8 @And let man and beast be covered with haircloth, and let them make strong prayers to God: and let everyone be turned from his evil way and the violent acts of their hands.

bbe@Jonah:3:10 @And God saw what they did, how they were turned from their evil way; and God's purpose was changed as to the evil which he said he would do to them, and he did it not

bbe@Jonah:4:2 @And he made prayer to the Lord and said, O Lord, is this not what I said when I was still in my country? This is why I took care to go in flight to Tarshish: for I was certain that you were a loving God, full of pity, slow to be angry and great in mercy, and ready to be turned from your purpose of evil.

bbe@Jonah:4:5 @Then Jonah went out of the town, and took his seat on the east side of the town and made himself a roof of branches and took his seat under its shade till he saw what would become of the town.

bbe@Jonah:4:7 @But early on the morning after, God made ready a worm for the destruction of the vine, and it became dry and dead.

bbe@Jonah:4:10 @And the Lord said, You had pity on the vine, for which you did no work and for the growth of which you were not responsible; which came up in a night and came to an end in a night;

bbe@Jonah:4:11 @And am I not to have mercy on Nineveh, that great town, in which there are more than a hundred and twenty thousand persons without the power of judging between right and left, as well as much cattle?

bbe@Micah:1:1 @The word of the Lord which came to Micah the Morashtite, in the days of Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah, kings of Judah: his vision about Samaria and Jerusalem.

bbe@Micah:1:2 @Give ear, you peoples, all of you; give attention, O earth and everything in it: let the Lord God be witness against you, the Lord from his holy Temple.

bbe@Micah:1:5 @All this is because of the wrongdoing of Jacob and the sins of the children of Israel. What is the wrongdoing of Jacob? is it not Samaria? and what are the high places of Judah? are they not Jerusalem?

bbe@Micah:1:6 @So I will make Samaria into a field and the plantings of a vine-garden: I will send its stones falling down into the valley, uncovering its bases.

bbe@Micah:1:7 @And all her pictured images will be hammered into bits, and all the payments for her loose ways will be burned with fire, and all the images of her gods I will make waste: for with the price of a loose woman she got them together, and as the price of a loose woman will they be given back.

bbe@Micah:1:9 @For her wounds may not be made well: for it has come even to Judah, stretching up to the doorway of my people, even to Jerusalem.

bbe@Micah:1:10 @Give no word of it in Gath, let there be no weeping at all: at Beth-le-aphrah be rolling in the dust.

bbe@Micah:1:11 @Be uncovered and go away, you who are living in Shaphir: the one living in Zaanan has not come out of her town; Beth-ezel is taken away from its base, even from its resting-place.

bbe@Micah:1:12 @For the one living in Maroth is waiting for good: for evil has come down from the Lord to the doorways of Jerusalem.

bbe@Micah:1:14 @For this cause give a parting offering to Moresheth-gath: the daughter of Achzib will be a deceit to the king of Israel.

bbe@Micah:1:15 @Even now will the taker of your heritage come to you, you who are living in Mareshah: the glory of Israel will come to destruction for ever.

bbe@Micah:2:1 @A curse on the designers of evil, working on their beds! in the morning light they do it, because it is in their power.

bbe@Micah:2:2 @They have a desire for fields and take them by force; and for houses and take them away: they are cruel to a man and his family, even to a man and his heritage.

bbe@Micah:2:3 @For this cause the Lord has said, See, against this family I am purposing an evil from which you will not be able to take your necks away, and you will be weighted down by it; for it is an evil time.

bbe@Micah:2:4 @In that day this saying will be said about you, and this song of grief will be made: The heritage of my people is measured out, and there is no one to give it back; those who have made us prisoners have taken our fields from us, and complete destruction has come to us.

bbe@Micah:2:8 @As for you, you have become haters of those who were at peace with you: you take the clothing of those who go by without fear, and make them prisoners of war.

bbe@Micah:2:10 @Up! and go; for this is not your rest: because it has been made unclean, the destruction ordered will come on you.

bbe@Micah:2:11 @If a man came with a false spirit of deceit, saying, I will be a prophet to you of wine and strong drink: he would be the sort of prophet for this people.

bbe@Micah:2:13 @The opener of the way will go up before them: forcing their way out they will go on to the doorway and out through it: their king will go on before them, and the Lord at their head.

bbe@Micah:3:1 @And I said, Give ear, now, you heads of Jacob and rulers of the people of Israel: is it not for you to have knowledge of what is right?

bbe@Micah:3:5 @This is what the Lord has said about the prophets by whom my people have been turned from the right way; who, biting with their teeth, say, Peace; and if anyone puts nothing in their mouths they make ready for war against him.

bbe@Micah:3:6 @For this cause it will be night for you, without a vision; and it will be dark for you, without knowledge of the future; the sun will go down over the prophets, and the day will be black over them.

bbe@Micah:3:8 @But I truly am full of the spirit of the Lord, with power of judging and with strength to make clear to Jacob his wrongdoing and to Israel his sin.

bbe@Micah:3:10 @They are building up Zion with blood, and Jerusalem with evil-doing

bbe@Micah:3:11 @Its heads take rewards for judging, and the priests take payment for teaching, and the prophets get silver for reading the future: but still, supporting themselves on the Lord, they say, Is not the Lord among us? no evil will overtake us.

bbe@Micah:4:1 @But in the last days it will come about that the mountain of the Lord's house will be placed on the top of the mountains, and be lifted up over the hills; and peoples will be flowing to it.

bbe@Micah:4:4 @But every man will be seated under his vine and under his fig-tree, and no one will be a cause of fear to them: for the mouth of the Lord of armies has said it.

bbe@Micah:4:6 @In that day, says the Lord, I will get together her who goes with uncertain steps, I will get together her who has been sent away, and her on whom I have sent evil;

bbe@Micah:4:8 @And you, O tower of the flock, Ophel of the daughter of Zion, to you it will come, even the earlier authority, the kingdom of the daughter of Jerusalem.

bbe@Micah:5:1 @Now you will give yourselves deep wounds for grief; they will put up a wall round us: they will give the judge of Israel a blow on the face with a rod.

bbe@Micah:5:3 @For this cause he will give them up till the time when she who is with child has given birth: then the rest of his brothers will come back to the children of Israel.

bbe@Micah:5:6 @And they will make waste the land of Assyria with the sword, and the land of Nimrod with the edge of the sword: he will give us salvation from the Assyrian when he comes into our country, when his feet come inside the limit of our land.

bbe@Micah:5:7 @And the rest of Jacob will be among the mass of peoples like dew from the Lord, like showers on the grass, which may not be kept back by man, or be waiting for the sons of men.

bbe@Micah:5:8 @And the rest of Jacob will be among the nations, in the middle of the mass of peoples, like a lion among the beasts of the woods, like a young lion among the flocks of sheep: if he goes through, they will be crushed under foot and pulled to bits, and there will be no saviour.

bbe@Micah:5:10 @And it will come about in that day, says the Lord, that I will take away your horses from you, and will give your war-carriages to destruction:

bbe@Micah:5:15 @And my punishment will be effected on the nations with such burning wrath as they have not had word of.

bbe@Micah:6:2 @Give ear, O you mountains, to the Lord's cause, and take note, you bases of the earth: for the Lord has a cause against his people, and he will take it up with Israel.

bbe@Micah:6:5 @O my people, keep in mind now what was designed by Balak, king of Moab, and the answer which Balaam, son of Beor, gave him; the events, from Shittim to Gilgal, so that you may be certain of the upright acts of the Lord.

bbe@Micah:6:6 @With what am I to come before the Lord and go with bent head before the high God? am I to come before him with burned offerings, with young oxen a year old?

bbe@Micah:6:7 @Will the Lord be pleased with thousands of sheep or with ten thousand rivers of oil? am I to give my first child for my wrongdoing, the fruit of my body for the sin of my soul?

bbe@Micah:6:8 @He has made clear to you, O man, what is good; and what is desired from you by the Lord; only doing what is right, and loving mercy, and walking without pride before your God.

bbe@Micah:6:11 @Is it possible for me to let wrong scales and the bag of false weights go without punishment?

bbe@Micah:6:12 @For its men of wealth are cruel, and its people have said what is not true, and their tongue is false in their mouth.

bbe@Micah:6:13 @So I have made a start with your punishment; I have made you waste because of your sins.

bbe@Micah:6:14 @You will have food, but not enough; your shame will be ever with you: you will get your goods moved, but you will not take them away safely; and what you do take away I will give to the sword

bbe@Micah:6:15 @You will put in seed, but you will not get in the grain; you will be crushing olives, but your bodies will not be rubbed with the oil; and you will get in the grapes, but you will have no wine.

bbe@Micah:7:1 @Sorrow is mine! for I am as when they have got in the summer fruits, like the last of the grapes: there is nothing for food, not even an early fig for my desire.

bbe@Micah:7:2 @The good man is gone from the earth, there is no one upright among men: they are all waiting secretly for blood, every man is going after his brother with a net.

bbe@Micah:7:5 @Put no faith in a friend, do not let your hope be placed in a relation: keep watch on the doors of your mouth against her who is resting on your breast.

bbe@Micah:7:7 @But as for me, I am looking to the Lord; I am waiting for the God of my salvation: the ears of my God will be open to me.

bbe@Micah:7:10 @And my hater will see it and be covered with shame; she who said to me, Where is the Lord your God? my eyes will see their desire effected on her, now she will be crushed under foot like the dust of the streets.

bbe@Micah:7:11 @A day for building your walls! in that day will your limits be stretched far and wide.

bbe@Micah:7:13 @But the land will become a waste because of its people, as the fruit of their works.

bbe@Micah:7:14 @Keep your people safe with your rod, the flock of your heritage, living by themselves in the woods in the middle of Carmel: let them get their food in Bashan and Gilead as in the past.

bbe@Micah:7:17 @They will take dust as their food like a snake, like the things which go flat on the earth; they will come shaking with fear out of their secret places: they will come with fear to the Lord our God, full of fear because of you.

bbe@Micah:7:18 @Who is a God like you, offering forgiveness for evil-doing and overlooking the sins of the rest of his heritage? he does not keep his wrath for ever, because his delight is in mercy.

bbe@Micah:7:19 @He will again have pity on us; he will put our sins under his feet: and you will send all our sins down into the heart of the sea.

bbe@Micah:7:20 @You will make clear your good faith to Jacob and your mercy to Abraham, as you gave your oath to our fathers from times long past.

bbe@Nahum:1:1 @The word about Nineveh. The book of the vision of Nahum the Elkoshite.

bbe@Nahum:1:2 @The Lord is a God who takes care of his honour and gives punishment for wrong; the Lord gives punishment and is angry; the Lord sends punishment on those who are against him, being angry with his haters.

bbe@Nahum:1:3 @The Lord is slow to get angry and great in power, and will not let the sinner go without punishment: the way of the Lord is in the wind and the storm, and the clouds are the dust of his feet.

bbe@Nahum:1:4 @He says sharp words to the sea and makes it dry, drying up all the rivers: Bashan is feeble, and Carmel, and the flower of Lebanon is without strength.

bbe@Nahum:1:5 @The mountains are shaking because of him, and the hills flowing away; the earth is falling to bits before him, the world and all who are in it.

bbe@Nahum:1:9 @What are you designing against the Lord? he will put an end to it: his haters will not come up again a second time.

bbe@Nahum:1:10 @For though they are like twisted thorns, and are overcome as with drink, they will come to destruction like stems of grass fully dry.

bbe@Nahum:1:15 @See on the mountains the feet of him who comes with good news, giving word of peace! Keep your feasts, O Judah, give effect to your oaths: for the good-for-nothing man will never again go through you; he is completely cut off.

bbe@Nahum:2:11 @Where is the lions' hole, the place where the young lions got their food, where the lion and the she-lion were walking with their young, without cause for fear?

bbe@Nahum:2:12 @Food enough for his young and for his she-lions was pulled down by the lion; his hole was full of flesh and his resting-place stored with meat.

bbe@Nahum:3:1 @A curse is on the town of blood; it is full of deceit and violent acts; and there is no end to the taking of life.

bbe@Nahum:3:7 @And it will come about that all who see you will go in flight from you and say, Nineveh is made waste: who will be weeping for her? where am I to get comforters for her?

bbe@Nahum:3:8 @Are you better than No-amon, seated on the Nile streams, with waters all round her; whose wall was the sea and her earthwork the waters?

bbe@Nahum:3:9 @Ethiopia was her strength and Egyptians without number; Put and Lubim were her helpers.

bbe@Nahum:3:10 @But even she has been taken away, she has gone away as a prisoner: even her young children are smashed to bits at the top of all the streets: the fate of her honoured men is put to the decision of chance, and all her great men are put in chains

bbe@Nahum:3:11 @And you will be overcome with wine, you will become feeble; you will be looking for a safe place from those who are fighting against you.

bbe@Nahum:3:14 @Get water for the time when you are shut in, make strong your towns: go into the potter's earth, stamping it down with your feet, make strong the brickworks.

bbe@Habakkuk:1:3 @Why do you make me see evil-doing, and why are my eyes fixed on wrong? for wasting and violent acts are before me: and there is fighting and bitter argument.

bbe@Habakkuk:1:5 @See among the nations, and take note, and be full of wonder: for in your days I am doing a work in which you will have no belief, even if news of it is given to you.

bbe@Habakkuk:1:6 @For see, I am sending the Chaldaeans, that bitter and quick-moving nation; who go through the wide spaces of the earth to get for themselves living-places which are not theirs.

bbe@Habakkuk:1:8 @And their horses are quicker than leopards and their horsemen more cruel than evening wolves; they come from far away, like an eagle in flight rushing on its food.

bbe@Habakkuk:1:9 @They are coming all of them with force; the direction of their faces is forward, the number of their prisoners is like the sands of the sea.

bbe@Habakkuk:1:10 @He makes little of kings, rulers are a sport to him; all the strong places are to be laughed at; for he makes earthworks and takes them.

bbe@Habakkuk:1:11 @Then his purpose will be changed, over-stepping the limit; he will make his strength his god.

bbe@Habakkuk:1:13 @Before your holy eyes sin may not be seen, and you are unable to put up with wrong; why, then, are your eyes on the false? why do you say nothing when the evil-doer puts an end to one who is more upright than himself?

bbe@Habakkuk:1:15 @He takes them all up with his hook, he takes them in his net, getting them together in his fishing-net: for which cause he is glad and full of joy.

bbe@Habakkuk:2:1 @I will take my position and be on watch, placing myself on my tower, looking out to see what he will say to me, and what answer he will give to my protest.

bbe@Habakkuk:2:2 @And the Lord gave me an answer, and said, Put the vision in writing and make it clear on stones, so that the reader may go quickly.

bbe@Habakkuk:2:3 @For the vision is still for the fixed time, and it is moving quickly to the end, and it will not be false: even if it is slow in coming, go on waiting for it; because it will certainly come, it will not be kept back.

bbe@Habakkuk:2:4 @As for the man of pride, my soul has no pleasure in him; but the upright man will have life through his good faith.

bbe@Habakkuk:2:6 @Will not all these take up a word of shame against him and a bitter saying against him, and say, A curse on him who goes on taking what is not his and is weighted down with the property of debtors!

bbe@Habakkuk:2:7 @Will not your creditors suddenly be moved against you, and your troublers get up from their sleep, and you will be to them like goods taken in war?

bbe@Habakkuk:2:8 @Because you have taken their goods from great nations, all the rest of the peoples will take your goods from you; because of men's blood and violent acts against the land and the town and all who are living in it.

bbe@Habakkuk:2:9 @A curse on him who gets evil profits for his family, so that he may put his resting-place on high and be safe from the hand of the wrongdoer!

bbe@Habakkuk:2:11 @For the stone will give a cry out of the wall, and it will be answered by the board out of the woodwork.

bbe@Habakkuk:2:12 @A curse on him who is building a place with blood, and basing a town on evil-doing!

bbe@Habakkuk:2:13 @See, is it not the pleasure of the Lord of armies that the peoples are working for the fire and using themselves up for nothing?

bbe@Habakkuk:2:15 @A curse on him who gives his neighbour the wine of his wrath, making him overcome with strong drink from the cup of his passion, so that you may be a witness of their shame!

bbe@Habakkuk:2:16 @You are full of shame in place of glory: take your part in the drinking, and let your shame be uncovered: the cup of the Lord's right hand will come round to you and your glory will be covered with shame.

bbe@Habakkuk:2:17 @For the violent acts against Lebanon will come on you, and the destruction of the cattle will be a cause of fear to you, because of men's blood and the violent acts against the land and the town and all who are living in it.

bbe@Habakkuk:2:18 @What profit is the pictured image to its maker? and as for the metal image, the false teacher, why does its maker put his faith in it, making false gods without a voice?

bbe@Habakkuk:2:19 @A curse on him who says to the wood, Awake! to the unbreathing stone, Up! let it be a teacher! See, it is plated with gold and silver, and there is no breath at all inside it.

bbe@Habakkuk:3:2 @O Lord, word of you has come to my ears; I have seen your work, O Lord; when the years come near make it clear; in wrath keep mercy in mind.

bbe@Habakkuk:3:3 @God came from Teman, and the Holy One from Mount Paran. Selah. The heavens were covered with his glory, and the earth was full of his praise.

bbe@Habakkuk:3:8 @Was your wrath burning against the rivers? were you angry with the sea, that you went on your horses, on your war-carriages of salvation?

bbe@Habakkuk:3:9 @Your bow was quite uncovered. Selah. By you the earth was cut through with rivers.

bbe@Habakkuk:3:10 @The mountains saw you and were moved with fear; the clouds were streaming with water: the voice of the deep was sounding; the sun did not come up, and the moon kept still in her place

bbe@Habakkuk:3:16 @Hearing it, my inner parts were moved, and my lips were shaking at the sound; my bones became feeble, and my steps were uncertain under me: I gave sounds of grief in the day of trouble, when his forces came up against the people in bands.

bbe@Habakkuk:3:17 @For though the fig-tree has no flowers, and there is no fruit on the vine, and work on the olive comes to nothing, and the fields give no food; and the flock is cut off from its resting-place, and there is no herd in the cattle-house:

bbe@Zephaniah:1:8 @And it will come about in the day of the Lord's offering, that I will send punishment on the rulers and the king's sons and all who are clothed in robes from strange lands.

bbe@Zephaniah:1:9 @And in that day I will send punishment on all those who come jumping over the doorstep and make their master's house full of violent behaviour and deceit.

bbe@Zephaniah:1:11 @Because of the downfall of all the people of Canaan: all those who were weighted down with silver have been cut off.

bbe@Zephaniah:1:12 @And it will come about at that time, that I will go searching through Jerusalem with lights; and I will send punishment on the men who have become like wine stored over-long, who say to themselves, The Lord will not do good and will not do evil.

bbe@Zephaniah:1:14 @The great day of the Lord is near, it is near and coming very quickly; the bitter day of the Lord is near, coming on more quickly than a man of war.

bbe@Zephaniah:1:18 @Even their silver and their gold will not be able to keep them safe in the day of the Lord's wrath; but all the land will be burned up in the fire of his bitter wrath: for he will put an end, even suddenly, to all who are living in the land.

bbe@Zephaniah:2:1 @Come together, make everyone come together, O nation without shame;

bbe@Zephaniah:2:3 @Make search for the Lord, all you quiet ones of the earth, who have done what is right in his eyes; make search for righteousness and a quiet heart: it may be that you will be safely covered in the day of the Lord's wrath.

bbe@Zephaniah:2:5 @Sorrow to the people living by the sea, the nation of the Cherethites! The word of the Lord is against you, O Canaan, the land of the Philistines; I will send destruction on you till there is no one living in you.

bbe@Zephaniah:2:6 @And the land by the sea will be grass-land, with houses for keepers of sheep and walled places for flocks.

bbe@Zephaniah:2:8 @My ears have been open to the bitter words of Moab and the words of shame of the children of Ammon, which they have said against my people, lifting themselves up against the limit of their land.

bbe@Zephaniah:2:9 @For this cause, by my life, says the Lord of armies, the God of Israel, truly Moab will become like Sodom and the children of Ammon like Gomorrah, given up to waste plants and salt pools and unpeopled for ever: the rest of my people will take their property, the overflow of my nation will take their heritage.

bbe@Zephaniah:2:14 @And herds will take their rest in the middle of her, all the beasts of the valley: the pelican and the porcupine will make their living-places on the tops of its pillars; the owl will be crying in the window; the raven will be seen on the doorstep.

bbe@Zephaniah:2:15 @This is the town which was full of joy, living without fear of danger, saying in her heart, I am, and there is no other: how has she been made waste, a place for beasts to take their rest in! everyone who goes by her will make hisses, waving his hand.

bbe@Zephaniah:3:2 @She gave no attention to the voice, she had no use for teaching, she put no faith in the Lord, she did not come near to her God.

bbe@Zephaniah:3:4 @Her prophets are good-for-nothing persons, full of deceit: her priests have made the holy place unclean and have gone violently against the law.

bbe@Zephaniah:3:8 @For this reason, go on waiting for me, says the Lord, till the day when I come up as a witness: for my purpose is to send for the nations and to get the kingdoms together, so that I may let loose on them my passion, even all my burning wrath: for all the earth will be burned up in the fire of my bitter passion.

bbe@Zephaniah:3:9 @For then I will give the people a clean language, so that they may all make prayer to the Lord and be his servants with one mind.

bbe@Zephaniah:3:10 @From over the rivers of Ethiopia, and from the sides of the north, they will come to me with an offering

bbe@Zephaniah:3:11 @In that day you will have no shame on account of all the things in which you did evil against me: for then I will take away from among you those who were lifted up in pride, and you will no longer be lifted up with pride in my holy mountain.

bbe@Zephaniah:3:12 @But I will still have among you a quiet and poor people, and they will put their faith in the name of the Lord.

bbe@Zephaniah:3:13 @The rest of Israel will do no evil and say no false words; the tongue of deceit will not be seen in their mouth: for they will take their food and their rest, and no one will be a cause of fear to them.

bbe@Zephaniah:3:16 @In that day it will be said to Jerusalem, Have no fear: O Zion, let not your hands be feeble.

bbe@Zephaniah:3:17 @The Lord your God is among you, as a strong saviour: he will be glad over you with joy, he will make his love new again, he will make a song of joy over you as in the time of a holy feast.

bbe@Haggai:1:4 @Is it a time for you to be living in roofed houses while this house is a waste?

bbe@Haggai:1:6 @Much has been planted, but little got in; you take food, but have not enough; you take drink, but are not full; you are clothed, but no one is warm; and he who gets payment for his work, gets it to put it into a bag full of holes.

bbe@Haggai:1:8 @Go up to the hills and get wood and put up the house; and I will take pleasure in it and be honoured, says the Lord.

bbe@Haggai:1:9 @You were looking for much, and it came to little; and when you got it into your house, I took it away with a breath. Why? says the Lord of armies. Because of my house which is a waste, while every man takes care of the house which is his.

bbe@Haggai:1:10 @For this cause the heaven over you is kept from giving dew, and the earth from giving her fruit.

bbe@Haggai:1:13 @Then Haggai, whom the Lord had sent to give his words to the people, said, I am with you, says the Lord.

bbe@Haggai:1:14 @And the spirit of Zerubbabel, the son of Shealtiel, ruler of Judah, was moved by the Lord, as was the spirit of Joshua, the son of Jehozadak, the high priest, and the spirit of all the rest of the people; and they came and did work in the house of the Lord of armies, their God.

bbe@Haggai:2:3 @Who is there still among you who saw this house in its first glory? and how do you see it now? is it not in your eyes as nothing?

bbe@Haggai:2:4 @But now be strong, O Zerubbabel, says the Lord; and be strong, O Joshua, son of Jehozadak, the high priest; and be strong, all you people of the land, says the Lord, and get to work: for I am with you, says the Lord of armies:

bbe@Haggai:2:5 @The agreement which I made with you when you came out of Egypt, and my spirit, are with you still; have no fear.

bbe@Haggai:2:13 @Then Haggai said, Will any of these be made unclean by the touch of one who is unclean through touching a dead body? And the priests answering said, It will be made unclean.

bbe@Haggai:2:18 @And now, give thought; looking on from this day, from the twenty-fourth day of the ninth month, from the time when the base of the Lord's house was put in its place, give thought to it.

bbe@Haggai:2:19 @Is the seed still in the store-house? have the vine and the fig-tree, the pomegranate and the olive-tree, still not given their fruit? from this day I will send my blessing on you.

bbe@Haggai:2:22 @Overturning the power of kingdoms; and I will send destruction on the strength of the kingdoms of the nations; by me war-carriages will be overturned with those who are in them; and the horses and the horsemen will come down, everyone by the sword of his brother.

bbe@Zechariah:1:2 @The Lord has been very angry with your fathers:

bbe@Zechariah:1:6 @But my words and my orders, which I gave to my servants the prophets, have they not overtaken your fathers? and turning back they said, As it was the purpose of the Lord of armies to do to us, in reward for our ways and our doings, so has he done.

bbe@Zechariah:1:8 @I saw in the night a man on a red horse, between the mountains in the valley, and at his back were horses, red, black, white, and of mixed colours.

bbe@Zechariah:1:12 @Then the angel of the Lord, answering, said, O Lord of armies, how long will it be before you have mercy on Jerusalem and on the towns of Judah against which your wrath has been burning for seventy years?

bbe@Zechariah:1:15 @And I am very angry with the nations who are living untroubled: for when I was only a little angry, they made the evil worse.

bbe@Zechariah:1:16 @So this is what the Lord has said: I have come back to Jerusalem with mercies; my house is to be put up in her, says the Lord of armies, and a line is to be stretched out over Jerusalem.

bbe@Zechariah:1:17 @And again let your voice be loud and say, This is what the Lord of armies has said: My towns will again be overflowing with good things, and again the Lord will give comfort to Zion and take Jerusalem for himself.

bbe@Zechariah:1:21 @Then I said, What have these come to do? And he said, These are the horns which sent Judah in flight, and kept him from lifting up his head: but these men have come to send fear on them and to put down the nations who are lifting up their horns against the land of Judah to send it in flight.

bbe@Zechariah:2:1 @And lifting up my eyes, I saw a man with a measuring-line in his hand.

bbe@Zechariah:2:2 @And I said to him, Where are you going? And he said to me, To take the measure of Jerusalem, to see how wide and how long it is.

bbe@Zechariah:2:7 @Ho! Zion, go in flight from danger, you who are living with the daughter of Babylon.

bbe@Zechariah:2:12 @And Judah will be the Lord's heritage in the holy land, and Jerusalem will again be his.

bbe@Zechariah:3:5 @And let them put a clean head-dress on his head. So they put a clean head-dress on his head, clothing him with clean robes: and to him he said, See, I have taken your sin away from you.

bbe@Zechariah:3:9 @For see, the stone which I have put before Joshua; on one stone are seven eyes: see, the design cut on it will be my work, says the Lord of armies, and I will take away the sin of that land in one day.

bbe@Zechariah:4:2 @And he said to me, What do you see? And I said, I see a light-support, made all of gold, with its cup on the top of it and seven lights on it; and there are seven pipes to every one of the lights which are on the top of it;

bbe@Zechariah:4:3 @And two olive-trees by it, one on the right side of the cup and one on the left.

bbe@Zechariah:4:6 @This is the word of the Lord to Zerubbabel, saying, Not by force or by power, but by my spirit, says the Lord of armies.

bbe@Zechariah:4:7 @Who are you, O great mountain? before Zerubbabel you will become level: and he will let all see the headstone, with cries of Grace, grace, to it.

bbe@Zechariah:4:9 @The hands of Zerubbabel have put the base of this house in place, and his hands will make it complete; and it will be clear to you that the Lord of armies has sent me to you.

bbe@Zechariah:5:2 @And he said to me, What do you see? And I said, A roll going through the air; it is twenty cubits long and ten cubits wide.

bbe@Zechariah:5:3 @Then he said to me, This is the curse which goes out over the face of all the land: for long enough has every thief gone without punishment, and long enough has every taker of false oaths gone without punishment.

bbe@Zechariah:5:4 @And I will send it out, says the Lord of armies, and it will go into the house of the thief and into the house of him who takes a false oath by my name: and it will be in his house, causing its complete destruction, with its woodwork and its stones.

bbe@Zechariah:5:6 @And I said, What is it? And he said, This is an ephah which is going out. And he said further, This is their evil-doing in all the land.

bbe@Zechariah:5:8 @And he said, This is Sin; and pushing her down into the ephah, he put the weight of lead on the mouth of it.

bbe@Zechariah:5:9 @And lifting up my eyes I saw two women coming out, and the wind was in their wings; and they had wings like the wings of a stork: and they took the ephah, lifting it up between earth and heaven.

bbe@Zechariah:6:3 @And in the third, white horses; and in the fourth, horses of mixed colour.

bbe@Zechariah:6:6 @The carriage in which are the black horses goes in the direction of the north country; the white go to the west; and those of mixed colour go in the direction of the south country.

bbe@Zechariah:6:8 @Then crying out to me, he said, See, those who are going to the north country have given rest to the spirit of the Lord in the north country.

bbe@Zechariah:6:11 @And take silver and gold and make a crown and put it on the head of Zerubbabel;

bbe@Zechariah:6:15 @And those who are far away will come and be builders in the Temple of the Lord, and it will be clear to you that the Lord of armies has sent me to you.

bbe@Zechariah:7:1 @And it came about in the fourth year of King Darius, that the word of the Lord came to Zechariah on the fourth day of the ninth month, the month Chislev.

bbe@Zechariah:7:5 @Say to all the people of the land and to the priests, When you went without food and gave yourselves to grief in the fifth and the seventh months for these seventy years, did you ever do it because of me?

bbe@Zechariah:7:6 @And when you are feasting and drinking, are you not doing it only for yourselves?

bbe@Zechariah:7:9 @This is what the Lord of armies has said: Let your judging be upright and done in good faith, let every man have mercy and pity for his brother:

bbe@Zechariah:7:10 @Do not be hard on the widow, or the child without a father, on the man from a strange country, or on the poor; let there be no evil thought in your heart against your brother.

bbe@Zechariah:7:13 @And it came about that as they would not give ear to his voice, so I would not give ear to their voice, says the Lord of armies:

bbe@Zechariah:7:14 @But with a storm-wind I sent them in flight among all the nations of whom they had no knowledge. So the land was waste after them, so that no man went through or came back: for they had made waste the desired land.

bbe@Zechariah:8:2 @These are the words of the Lord of armies: I am angry about the fate of Zion, I am angry about her with great wrath.

bbe@Zechariah:8:3 @This is what the Lord has said: I have come back to Zion, and will make my living-place in Jerusalem: and Jerusalem will be named The town of good faith; and the mountain of the Lord of armies The holy mountain.

bbe@Zechariah:8:4 @This is what the Lord of armies has said: There will again be old men and old women seated in the open spaces of Jerusalem, every man with his stick in his hand because he is so old.

bbe@Zechariah:8:5 @And the open spaces of the town will be full of boys and girls playing in its open spaces.

bbe@Zechariah:8:6 @This is what the Lord of armies has said: If this is a wonder to the rest of this people, is it a wonder to me? says the Lord of armies.

bbe@Zechariah:8:8 @And I will make them come and be living in Jerusalem and they will be to me a people and I will be to them a God, in good faith and in righteousness.

bbe@Zechariah:8:12 @For I will let the seed of peace be planted; the vine will give her fruit and the land will give her increase and the heavens will give their dew; and I will give to the rest of this people all these things for their heritage.

bbe@Zechariah:8:13 @And it will come about that, as you were a curse among the nations, O children of Judah and children of Israel, so I will give you salvation and you will be a blessing: have no fear and let your hands be strong.

bbe@Zechariah:8:14 @For this is what the Lord of armies has said: As it was my purpose to do evil to you when your fathers made me angry, says the Lord of armies, and my purpose was not changed:

bbe@Zechariah:8:15 @So in these days it is again my purpose to do good to Jerusalem and to the children of Judah: have no fear.

bbe@Zechariah:8:19 @This is what the Lord of armies has said: The times of going without food in the fourth month and in the fifth and the seventh and the tenth months, will be for the people of Judah times of joy and happy meetings; so be lovers of good faith and of peace.

bbe@Zechariah:8:20 @This is what the Lord of armies has said: It will again come about that when peoples and those living in great towns come,

bbe@Zechariah:8:21 @And the people of one town go to another and say, Let us certainly go with a request for grace from the Lord, and to give worship to the Lord of armies, then I will go with you.

bbe@Zechariah:8:23 @This is what the Lord of armies has said: In those days, ten men from all the languages of the nations will put out their hands and take a grip of the skirt of him who is a Jew, saying, We will go with you, for it has come to our ears that God is with you.

bbe@Zechariah:9:2 @As well as Hamath, which is by its limit, and Tyre and Zidon, because they are very wise.

bbe@Zechariah:9:4 @See, the Lord will take away her heritage, overturning her power in the sea; and she will be burned up with fire.

bbe@Zechariah:9:5 @Ashkelon will see it with fear, and Gaza, bent with pain; and Ekron, for her hope will be shamed: and the king will be cut off from Gaza, and Ashkelon will be unpeopled.

bbe@Zechariah:9:8 @And I will put my forces in position round my house, so that there may be no coming and going: and no cruel master will again go through them: for now I have seen his trouble.

bbe@Zechariah:9:17 @For how good it is and how beautiful! grain will make the young men strong and new wine the virgins.

bbe@Zechariah:10:2 @For the images have said what is not true, and the readers of signs have seen deceit; they have given accounts of false dreams, they give comfort to no purpose: so they go out of the way like sheep, they are troubled because they have no keeper.

bbe@Zechariah:10:5 @Together they will be like men of war, crushing down their haters into the earth of the streets in the fight; they will make war because the Lord is with them: and the horsemen will be shamed.

bbe@Zechariah:10:7 @And Ephraim will be like a man of war, and their hearts will be glad as with wine; and their children will see it with joy; their hearts will be glad in the Lord.

bbe@Zechariah:10:8 @With the sound of the pipe I will get them together; for I have given the price to make them free: and they will be increased as they were increased.

bbe@Zechariah:10:10 @And I will make them come back out of the land of Egypt, and will get them together out of Assyria; and I will take them into the land of Gilead, and it will not be wide enough for them.

bbe@Zechariah:11:5 @Whose owners put them to death and have no sense of sin; and those who get a price for them say, May the Lord be praised for I have much wealth: and the keepers of the flock have no pity for them.

bbe@Zechariah:11:6 @For I will have no more pity for the people of the land, says the Lord; but I will give up everyone into his neighbour's hand and into the hand of his king: and they will make the land waste, and I will not keep them safe from their hands.

bbe@Zechariah:11:7 @So I took care of the flock of death, for those who made profit out of the flock; and I took for myself two rods, naming one Beautiful, and the other Bands; and I took care of the flock.

bbe@Zechariah:11:8 @And in one month I put an end to the three keepers of the flock; for my soul was tired of them, and their souls were disgusted with me.

bbe@Zechariah:11:9 @And I said, I will not take care of you: If death comes to any, let death be its fate; if any is cut off, let it be cut off; and let the rest take one another's flesh for food.

bbe@Zechariah:11:10 @And I took my rod Beautiful, cutting it in two, so that the Lord's agreement, which he had made with all the peoples, might be broken.

bbe@Zechariah:11:11 @And it was broken on that day: and the sheep-traders, who were watching me, were certain that it was the word of the Lord

bbe@Zechariah:11:12 @And I said to them, If it seems good to you, give me my payment; and if not, do not give it. So they gave me my payment by weight, thirty shekels of silver.

bbe@Zechariah:11:13 @And the Lord said to me, Put it into the store-house, the price at which I was valued by them. And I took the thirty shekels of silver and put them into the store-house in the house of the Lord.

bbe@Zechariah:11:14 @Then I took my other rod, the one named Bands, cutting it in two, so that the relation of brothers between Judah and Israel might be broken.

bbe@Zechariah:11:17 @A curse on the foolish keeper who goes away from the flock! the sword will be on his arm and on his right eye: his arm will become quite dry and his eye will be made completely dark.

bbe@Zechariah:12:1 @The word of the Lord about Israel. The Lord by whom the heavens are stretched out and the bases of the earth put in place, and the spirit of man formed inside him, has said:

bbe@Zechariah:12:3 @And it will come about in that day that I will make Jerusalem a stone of great weight for all the peoples; all those who take it up will be badly wounded; and all the nations of the earth will come together against it.

bbe@Zechariah:12:6 @In that day I will make the families of Judah like a pot with fire in it among trees, and like a flaming stick among cut grain; they will send destruction on all the peoples round about, on the right hand and on the left: and Jerusalem will be living again in the place which is hers, that is, in Jerusalem.

bbe@Zechariah:12:9 @And it will come about on that day that I will take in hand the destruction of all the nations who come against Jerusalem.

bbe@Zechariah:12:10 @And I will send down on the family of David and on the people of Jerusalem the spirit of grace and of prayer; and their eyes will be turned to the one who was wounded by their hands: and they will be weeping for him as for an only son, and their grief for him will be bitter, like the grief of one sorrowing for his oldest son.

bbe@Zechariah:12:12 @And the land will give itself to weeping, every family separately; the family of David by themselves, and their wives by themselves; the family of Nathan by themselves, and their wives by themselves;

bbe@Zechariah:13:2 @And it will come about on that day, says the Lord of armies, that I will have the names of the images cut off out of the land, and there will be no more memory of them: and I will send all the prophets and the unclean spirit away from the land.

bbe@Zechariah:13:4 @And it will come about in that day that the prophets will be shamed, every man on account of his vision, when he is talking as a prophet; and they will not put on a robe of hair for purposes of deceit:

bbe@Zechariah:13:6 @And if anyone says to him, What are these wounds between your hands? then he will say, Those with which I was wounded in the house of my friends.

bbe@Zechariah:13:7 @Awake! O sword, against the keeper of my flock, and against him who is with me, says the Lord of armies: put to death the keeper of the sheep, and the sheep will go in flight: and my hand will be turned against the little ones.

bbe@Zechariah:13:8 @And it will come about that in all the land, says the Lord, two parts of it will be cut off and come to an end; but the third will be still living there.

bbe@Zechariah:13:9 @And I will make the third part go through the fire, cleaning them as silver is made clean, and testing them as gold is tested: and they will make their prayer to me and I will give them an answer: I will say, It is my people; and they will say, The Lord is my God.

bbe@Zechariah:14:4 @And in that day his feet will be on the Mount of Olives, which is opposite Jerusalem on the east, and the Mount of Olives will be parted in the middle to the east and to the west, forming a very great valley; and half the mountain will be moved to the north and half of it to the south.

bbe@Zechariah:14:5 @And the valley will be stopped... and you will go in flight as you went in flight from the earth-shock in the days of Uzziah, king of Judah: and the Lord my God will come, and all his holy ones with him.

bbe@Zechariah:14:7 @And it will be unbroken day, such as the Lord has knowledge of, without change of day and night, and even at nightfall it will be light.

bbe@Zechariah:14:8 @And on that day living waters will go out from Jerusalem; half of them flowing to the sea on the east and half to the sea on the west: in summer and in winter it will be so.

bbe@Zechariah:14:11 @And there will be no more curse; but Jerusalem will be living without fear of danger.

bbe@Zechariah:14:13 @And it will be on that day that a great fear will be sent among them from the Lord; and everyone will take his neighbour's hand, and every man's hand will be lifted against his neighbour's.

bbe@Zechariah:14:16 @And it will come about that everyone who is still living, of all those nations who came against Jerusalem, will go up from year to year to give worship to the King, the Lord of armies, and to keep the feast of tents.

bbe@Zechariah:14:17 @And it will be that if any one of all the families of the earth does not go up to Jerusalem to give worship to the King, the Lord of armies, on them there will be no rain

bbe@Malachi:1:3 @And Esau was hated, and I sent destruction on his mountains, and gave his heritage to the beasts of the waste land.

bbe@Malachi:1:5 @And your eyes will see it; and you will say, The Lord is great even outside the limits of Israel.

bbe@Malachi:1:7 @You put unclean bread on my altar. And you say, How have we made it unclean? By your saying, The table of the Lord is of no value.

bbe@Malachi:1:8 @And when you give what is blind for an offering, it is no evil! and when you give what is damaged and ill, it is no evil! Give it now to your ruler; will he be pleased with you, or will you have his approval? says the Lord of armies.

bbe@Malachi:1:11 @For, from the coming up of the sun till its going down, my name is great among the Gentiles; and in every place the smell of burning flesh is offered to my name, and a clean offering: for my name is great among the Gentiles, says the Lord of armies.

bbe@Malachi:1:12 @But you make it unholy by saying, The Lord's table has become unclean, and his food is of no value.

bbe@Malachi:1:13 @And you say, See, what a weariness it is! and you let out your breath at it, says the Lord of armies; and you have given what has been cut about by beasts, and what is damaged in its feet and ill; this is the offering you give: will this be pleasing to me from your hands? says the Lord.

bbe@Malachi:2:2 @If you will not give ear and take it to heart, to give glory to my name, says the Lord of armies, then I will send the curse on you and will put a curse on your blessing: truly, even now I have put a curse on it, because you do not take it to heart.

bbe@Malachi:2:3 @See, I will have your arm cut off, and will put waste on your faces, even the waste from your feasts; and you will be taken away with it.

bbe@Malachi:2:4 @And you will be certain that I have sent this order to you, so that it might be my agreement with Levi, says the Lord of armies.

bbe@Malachi:2:5 @My agreement with him was on my side life and peace, and I gave them to him; on his side fear, and he had fear of me and gave honour to my name.

bbe@Malachi:2:6 @True teaching was in his mouth, and no evil was seen on his lips: he was walking with me in peace and righteousness, turning numbers of people away from evil-doing.

bbe@Malachi:2:7 @For it is right for the priest's lips to keep knowledge, and for men to be waiting for the law from his mouth: for he is the servant sent from the Lord of armies.

bbe@Malachi:2:13 @And this again you do: covering the altar of the Lord with weeping and with grief, so that he gives no more thought to the offering, and does not take it with pleasure from your hand.

bbe@Malachi:2:14 @But you say, For what reason? Because the Lord has been a witness between you and the wife of your early years, to whom you have been untrue, though she is your friend and the wife to whom you have given your word.

bbe@Malachi:2:15 @... So give thought to your spirit, and let no one be false to the wife of his early years.

bbe@Malachi:2:16 @For I am against the putting away of a wife, says the Lord, the God of Israel, and against him who is clothed with violent acts, says the Lord of armies: so give thought to your spirit and do not be false in your acts.

bbe@Malachi:2:17 @You have made the Lord tired with your words. And still you say, How have we made him tired? By your saying, Everyone who does evil is good in the eyes of the Lord, and he has delight in them; or, Where is God the judge?

bbe@Malachi:3:5 @And I will come near to you for judging; I will quickly be a witness against the wonder-workers, against those who have been untrue in married life, against those who take false oaths; against those who keep back from the servant his payment, and who are hard on the widow and the child without a father, who do not give his rights to the man from a strange country, and have no fear of me, says the Lord of armies.

bbe@Malachi:3:9 @You are cursed with a curse; for you have kept back from me what is mine, even all this nation.

bbe@Malachi:3:10 @Let your tenths come into the store-house so that there may be food in my house, and put me to the test by doing so, says the Lord of armies, and see if I do not make the windows of heaven open and send down such a blessing on you that there is no room for it

bbe@Malachi:3:11 @And on your account I will keep back the locusts from wasting the fruits of your land; and the fruit of your vine will not be dropped on the field before its time, says the Lord of armies

bbe@Malachi:3:14 @You have said, It is no use worshipping God: what profit have we had from keeping his orders, and going in clothing of sorrow before the Lord of armies?

bbe@Malachi:3:16 @Then those in whom was the fear of the Lord had talk together: and the Lord gave ear, and it was recorded in a book to be kept in mind before him, for those who had the fear of the Lord and gave thought to his name.

bbe@Malachi:4:1 @For see, the day is coming, it is burning like an oven; all the men of pride and all who do evil will be dry stems of grass: and in the day which is coming they will be burned up, says the Lord of armies, till they have not a root or a branch.

bbe@Malachi:4:2 @But to you who give worship to my name, the sun of righteousness will come up with new life in its wings; and you will go out, playing like young oxen full of food.

bbe@Matthew:1:18 @Now the birth of Jesus Christ was in this way: when his mother Mary was going to be married to Joseph, before they came together the discovery was made that she was with child by the Holy Spirit.

bbe@Matthew:1:20 @But when he was giving thought to these things, an angel of the Lord came to him in a dream, saying, Joseph, son of David, have no fear of taking Mary as your wife; because that which is in her body is of the Holy Spirit.

bbe@Matthew:1:23 @See, the virgin will be with child, and will give birth to a son, and they will give him the name Immanuel, that is, God with us.

bbe@Matthew:1:25 @And he had no connection with her till she had given birth to a son; and he gave him the name Jesus.

bbe@Matthew:2:3 @And when it came to the ears of Herod the king, he was troubled, and all Jerusalem with him.

bbe@Matthew:2:5 @And they said to him, In Beth-lehem of Judaea; for so it is said in the writings of the prophet,

bbe@Matthew:2:8 @And he sent them to Beth-lehem and said, Go and make certain where the young child is; and when you have seen him, let me have news of it, so that I may come and give him worship.

bbe@Matthew:2:9 @And after hearing the king, they went on their way; and the star which they saw in the east went before them, till it came to rest over the place where the young child was.

bbe@Matthew:2:11 @And they came into the house, and saw the young child with Mary, his mother; and falling down on their faces they gave him worship; and from their store they gave him offerings of gold, perfume, and spices.

bbe@Matthew:2:12 @And it was made clear to them by God in a dream that they were not to go back to Herod; so they went into their country by another way.

bbe@Matthew:2:16 @Then Herod, when he saw that he had been tricked by the wise men, was very angry; and he sent out, and put to death all the male children in Beth-lehem and in all the parts round about it, from two years old and under, acting on the knowledge which he had got with care from the wise men.

bbe@Matthew:2:22 @But when it came to his ears that Archelaus was ruling over Judaea in the place of his father Herod, he was in fear of going there; and God having given him news of the danger in a dream, he went out of the way into the country parts of Galilee.

bbe@Matthew:3:4 @Now John was clothed in camel's hair, with a leather band about him; and his food was locusts and honey.

bbe@Matthew:3:10 @And even now the axe is put to the root of the trees; every tree then which does not give good fruit is cut down, and put into the fire

bbe@Matthew:3:11 @Truly, I give baptism with water to those of you whose hearts are changed; but he who comes after me is greater than I, whose shoes I am not good enough to take up: he will give you baptism with the Holy Spirit and with fire:

bbe@Matthew:3:12 @In whose hand is the instrument with which he will make clean his grain; he will put the good grain in his store, but the waste will be burned up in the fire which will never be put out.

bbe@Matthew:3:14 @But John would have kept him back, saying, It is I who have need of baptism from you, and do you come to me?

bbe@Matthew:3:15 @But Jesus made answer, saying to him, Let it be so now: because so it is right for us to make righteousness complete. Then he gave him baptism.

bbe@Matthew:3:16 @And Jesus, having been given baptism, straight away went up from the water; and, the heavens opening, he saw the Spirit of God coming down on him as a dove;

bbe@Matthew:3:17 @And a voice came out of heaven, saying, This is my dearly loved Son, with whom I am well pleased.

bbe@Matthew:4:1 @Then Jesus was sent by the Spirit into the waste land to be tested by the Evil One.

bbe@Matthew:4:2 @And after going without food for forty days and forty nights, he was in need of it.

bbe@Matthew:4:4 @But he made answer and said, It is in the Writings, Bread is not man's only need, but every word which comes out of the mouth of God.

bbe@Matthew:4:6 @If you are the Son of God, let yourself go down; for it is in the Writings, He will give his angels care over you; and, In their hands they will keep you up, so that your foot may not be crushed against a stone.

bbe@Matthew:4:7 @Jesus said to him, Again it is in the Writings, You may not put the Lord your God to the test.

bbe@Matthew:4:10 @Then said Jesus to him, Away, Satan: for it is in the Writings, Give worship to the Lord your God and be his servant only

bbe@Matthew:4:12 @Now when it came to his ears that John had been put in prison, he went away to Galilee;

bbe@Matthew:4:21 @And going on from there he saw two other brothers, James, the son of Zebedee, and John, his brother, in the boat with their father, stitching up their nets; and he said, Come.

bbe@Matthew:4:23 @And Jesus went about in all Galilee, teaching in their Synagogues and preaching the good news of the kingdom, and making well those who were ill with any disease among the people.

bbe@Matthew:4:24 @And news of him went out through all Syria; and they took to him all who were ill with different diseases and pains, those having evil spirits and those who were off their heads, and those who had no power of moving. And he made them well.

bbe@Matthew:5:2 @And with these words he gave them teaching, saying,

bbe@Matthew:5:3 @Happy are the poor in spirit: for the kingdom of heaven is theirs.

bbe@Matthew:5:5 @Happy are the gentle: for the earth will be their heritage.

bbe@Matthew:5:13 @You are the salt of the earth; but if its taste goes from the salt, how will you make it salt again? it is then good for nothing but to be put out and crushed under foot by men.

bbe@Matthew:5:15 @And a burning light is not put under a vessel, but on its table; so that its rays may be shining on all who are in the house.

bbe@Matthew:5:21 @You have knowledge that it was said in old times, You may not put to death; and, Whoever puts to death will be in danger of being judged:

bbe@Matthew:5:22 @But I say to you that everyone who is angry with his brother will be in danger of being judged; and he who says to his brother, Raca, will be in danger from the Sanhedrin; and whoever says, You foolish one, will be in danger of the hell of fire.

bbe@Matthew:5:23 @If then you are making an offering at the altar and there it comes to your mind that your brother has something against you,

bbe@Matthew:5:24 @While your offering is still before the altar, first go and make peace with your brother, then come and make your offering.

bbe@Matthew:5:25 @Come to an agreement quickly with him who has a cause against you at law, while you are with him on the way, for fear that he may give you up to the judge and the judge may give you to the police and you may be put into prison.

bbe@Matthew:5:27 @You have knowledge that it was said, You may not have connection with another man's wife:

bbe@Matthew:5:28 @But I say to you that everyone whose eyes are turned on a woman with desire has had connection with her in his heart.

bbe@Matthew:5:29 @And if your right eye is a cause of trouble to you, take it out and put it away from you; because it is better to undergo the loss of one part, than for all your body to go into hell.

bbe@Matthew:5:30 @And if your right hand is a cause of trouble to you, let it be cut off and put it away from you; because it is better to undergo the loss of one part, than for all your body to go into hell.

bbe@Matthew:5:31 @Again, it was said, Whoever puts away his wife has to give her a statement in writing for this purpose:

bbe@Matthew:5:33 @Again, you have knowledge that it was said in old times, Do not take false oaths, but give effect to your oaths to the Lord:

bbe@Matthew:5:34 @But I say to you, Take no oaths at all: not by the heaven, because it is the seat of God;

bbe@Matthew:5:35 @Or by the earth, because it is the resting-place for his foot; or by Jerusalem, because it is the town of the great King.

bbe@Matthew:5:36 @You may not take an oath by your head, because you are not able to make one hair white or black.

bbe@Matthew:5:38 @You have knowledge that it was said, An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth:

bbe@Matthew:5:40 @And if any man goes to law with you and takes away your coat, do not keep back your robe from him.

bbe@Matthew:5:41 @And whoever makes you go one mile, go with him two.

bbe@Matthew:5:42 @Give to him who comes with a request, and keep not your property from him who would for a time make use of it.

bbe@Matthew:5:43 @You have knowledge that it was said, Have love for your neighbour, and hate for him who is against you:

bbe@Matthew:5:46 @For if you have love for those who have love for you, what credit is it to you? do not the tax-farmers the same?

bbe@Matthew:6:2 @When then you give money to the poor, do not make a noise about it, as the false-hearted men do in the Synagogues and in the streets, so that they may have glory from men. Truly, I say to you, They have their reward.

bbe@Matthew:6:16 @And when you go without food, be not sad-faced as the false-hearted are. For they go about with changed looks, so that men may see that they are going without food. Truly I say to you, They have their reward.

bbe@Matthew:6:17 @But when you go without food, put oil on your head and make your face clean;

bbe@Matthew:6:18 @So that no one may see that you are going without food, but your Father in secret; and your Father, who sees in secret, will give you your reward.

bbe@Matthew:6:19 @Make no store of wealth for yourselves on earth, where it may be turned to dust by worms and weather, and where thieves may come in by force and take it away.

bbe@Matthew:6:20 @But make a store for yourselves in heaven, where it will not be turned to dust and where thieves do not come in to take it away:

bbe@Matthew:6:23 @But if your eye is evil, all your body will be dark. If then the light which is in you is dark, how dark it will be!

bbe@Matthew:6:25 @So I say to you, Take no thought for your life, about food or drink, or about clothing for your body. Is not life more than food, and the body more than its clothing?

bbe@Matthew:6:26 @See the birds of heaven; they do not put seeds in the earth, they do not get in grain, or put it in store-houses; and your Father in heaven gives them food. Are you not of much more value than they?

bbe@Matthew:6:27 @And which of you by taking thought is able to make himself a cubit taller?

bbe@Matthew:6:30 @But if God gives such clothing to the grass of the field, which is here today and tomorrow is put into the oven, will he not much more give you clothing, O you of little faith?

bbe@Matthew:6:31 @Then do not be full of care, saying, What are we to have for food or drink? or, With what may we be clothed?

bbe@Matthew:6:33 @But let your first care be for his kingdom and his righteousness; and all these other things will be given to you in addition.

bbe@Matthew:6:34 @Then have no care for tomorrow: tomorrow will take care of itself. Take the trouble of the day as it comes.

bbe@Matthew:7:2 @For as you have been judging, so you will be judged, and with your measure will it be measured to you.

bbe@Matthew:7:3 @And why do you take note of the grain of dust in your brother's eye, but take no note of the bit of wood which is in your eye?

bbe@Matthew:7:4 @Or how will you say to your brother, Let me take out the grain of dust from your eye, when you yourself have a bit of wood in your eye?

bbe@Matthew:7:5 @You false one, first take out the bit of wood from your eye, then will you see clearly to take out the grain of dust from your brother's eye.

bbe@Matthew:7:7 @Make a request, and it will be answered; what you are searching for you will get; give the sign, and the door will be open to you:

bbe@Matthew:7:8 @Because to everyone who makes a request, it will be given; and he who is searching will get his desire, and to him who gives the sign, the door will be open.

bbe@Matthew:7:13 @Go in by the narrow door; for wide is the door and open is the way which goes to destruction, and great numbers go in by it.

bbe@Matthew:7:14 @For narrow is the door and hard the road to life, and only a small number make discovery of it.

bbe@Matthew:7:16 @By their fruits you will get knowledge of them

bbe@Matthew:7:17 @Even so, every good tree gives good fruit; but the bad tree gives evil fruit.

bbe@Matthew:7:18 @It is not possible for a good tree to give bad fruit, and a bad tree will not give good fruit.

bbe@Matthew:7:19 @Every tree which does not give good fruit is cut down and put in the fire.

bbe@Matthew:7:20 @So by their fruits you will get knowledge of them.

bbe@Matthew:7:22 @A great number will say to me on that day, Lord, Lord, were we not prophets in your name, and did we not by your name send out evil spirits, and by your name do works of power?

bbe@Matthew:7:25 @And the rain came down and there was a rush of waters and the winds were driving against that house, but it was not moved; because it was based on the rock.

bbe@Matthew:7:27 @And the rain came down and there was a rush of waters and the winds were driving against that house; and it came down and great was its fall.

bbe@Matthew:7:28 @And it came about, when Jesus had come to the end of these words, that the people were surprised at his teaching,

bbe@Matthew:7:29 @for he was teaching as one having authority, and not as their scribes.

bbe@Matthew:8:2 @And a leper came and gave him worship, saying, Lord, if it is your pleasure, you have power to make me clean.

bbe@Matthew:8:3 @And he put his hand on him, saying, It is my pleasure; be clean. And straight away he was made clean.

bbe@Matthew:8:4 @And Jesus said to him, See that you say nothing about this to anyone; but go and let the priest see you and make the offering which was ordered by Moses, for a witness to them.

bbe@Matthew:8:5 @And when Jesus was come into Capernaum, a certain captain came to him with a request,

bbe@Matthew:8:6 @Saying, Lord, my servant is ill in bed at the house, with no power in his body, and in great pain.

bbe@Matthew:8:9 @Because I myself am a man under authority, having under me fighting men; and I say to this one, Go, and he goes; and to another, Come, and he comes; and to my servant, Do this, and he does it.

bbe@Matthew:8:10 @And when these words came to the ears of Jesus he was surprised, and said to those who came after him, Truly I say to you, I have not seen such great faith, no, not in Israel.

bbe@Matthew:8:11 @And I say to you that numbers will come from the east and the west, and will take their seats with Abraham and Isaac and Jacob, in the kingdom of heaven:

bbe@Matthew:8:13 @And Jesus said to the captain, Go in peace; as your faith is, so let it be done to you. And the servant was made well in that hour.

bbe@Matthew:8:16 @And in the evening, they took to him a number of people who had evil spirits; and he sent the spirits out of them with a word, and made well all who were ill;

bbe@Matthew:8:24 @And there came up a great storm in the sea, so that the boat was covered with the waves: but he was sleeping.

bbe@Matthew:8:26 @And he said to them, Why are you full of fear, O you of little faith? Then he got up and gave orders to the winds and the sea; and there was a great calm.

bbe@Matthew:8:28 @And when he had come to the other side, to the country of the Gadarenes, there came out to him from the place of the dead, two who had evil spirits, so violent that no man was able to go that way.

bbe@Matthew:8:29 @And they gave a loud cry, saying, What have we to do with you, you Son of God? Have you come here to give us punishment before the time?

bbe@Matthew:8:31 @And the evil spirits made strong prayers to him, saying, If you send us out, let us go into the herd of pigs.

bbe@Matthew:8:33 @And their keepers went in flight to the town and gave an account of everything, and of the men who had the evil spirits.

bbe@Matthew:9:2 @And they took to him a man stretched on a bed who had no power of moving; and Jesus, seeing their faith, said to the man who was ill, Son, take heart; you have forgiveness for your sins.

bbe@Matthew:9:6 @But so that you may see that on earth the Son of man has authority for the forgiveness of sins, (then said he to the man who was ill,) Get up, and take up your bed, and go to your house.

bbe@Matthew:9:8 @But when the people saw it they were full of fear, and gave glory to God who had given such authority to men.

bbe@Matthew:9:10 @And it came about, when he was in the house taking food, that a number of tax-farmers and sinners came and took their places with Jesus and his disciples.

bbe@Matthew:9:11 @And when the Pharisees saw it, they said to his disciples, Why does your Master take food with tax-farmers and sinners?

bbe@Matthew:9:14 @Then the disciples of John came to him, saying, Why do we and the Pharisees frequently go without food, but your disciples do not?

bbe@Matthew:9:15 @And Jesus said to them, Will the friends of the newly-married man be sad as long as he is with them? But the days will come when he will be taken away from them, and then will they go without food.

bbe@Matthew:9:16 @And no man puts a bit of new cloth on an old coat, for by pulling away from the old, it makes a worse hole.

bbe@Matthew:9:22 @But Jesus, turning and seeing her, said, Daughter, take heart; your faith has made you well. And the woman was made well from that hour.

bbe@Matthew:9:23 @And when Jesus came into the ruler's house and saw the players with their instruments and the people making a noise,

bbe@Matthew:9:26 @And the news of it went out into all that land.

bbe@Matthew:9:28 @And when he had come into the house, the blind men came to him; and Jesus said to them, Have you faith that I am able to do this? They said to him, Yes, Lord.

bbe@Matthew:9:29 @Then he put his hand on their eyes, saying, As your faith is, let it be done to you.

bbe@Matthew:9:30 @And their eyes were made open. And Jesus said to them sharply, Let no man have knowledge of it.

bbe@Matthew:9:32 @And while they were going away, there came to him a man without the power of talking, and with an evil spirit.

bbe@Matthew:9:33 @And when the evil spirit had been sent out, the man had the power of talking: and they were all surprised, saying, Such a thing has never been seen in Israel.

bbe@Matthew:9:34 @But the Pharisees said, By the ruler of evil spirits, he sends evil spirits out of men.

bbe@Matthew:9:36 @But when he saw all the people he was moved with pity for them, because they were troubled and wandering like sheep without a keeper.

bbe@Matthew:9:37 @Then he said to his disciples, There is much grain but not enough men to get it in.

bbe@Matthew:10:1 @And he got together his twelve disciples and gave them the power of driving out unclean spirits, and of making well all sorts of disease and pain.

bbe@Matthew:10:8 @Make well those who are ill, give life to the dead, make lepers clean, send evil spirits out of men; freely it has been given to you, freely give.

bbe@Matthew:10:13 @And if the house is good enough, let your peace come on it: but if not, let your peace come back to you.

bbe@Matthew:10:14 @And whoever will not take you in, or give ear to your words, when you go out from that house or that town, put off its dust from your feet.

bbe@Matthew:10:15 @Truly I say to you, It will be better for the land of Sodom and Gomorrah in the day of God's judging than for that town.

bbe@Matthew:10:18 @And you will come before rulers and kings because of me, for a witness to them and to the Gentiles.

bbe@Matthew:10:19 @But when you are given up into their hands, do not be troubled about what to say or how to say it: for in that hour what you are to say will be given to you;

bbe@Matthew:10:20 @Because it is not you who say the words, but the Spirit of your Father in you.

bbe@Matthew:10:25 @It is enough for the disciple that he may be as his master, and the servant as his lord. If they have given the name Beelzebub to the master of the house, how much more to those of his house!

bbe@Matthew:10:29 @Are not sparrows two a farthing? and not one of them comes to an end without your Father:

bbe@Matthew:10:32 @To everyone, then, who gives witness to me before men, I will give witness before my Father in heaven.

bbe@Matthew:10:39 @He who has the desire to keep his life will have it taken from him, and he who gives up his life because of me will have it given back to him.

bbe@Matthew:10:42 @And whoever gives to one of these little ones a cup of cold water only, in the name of a disciple, truly I say to you, he will not go without his reward.

bbe@Matthew:11:1 @And it came about that when Jesus had come to the end of giving these orders to his twelve disciples, he went away from there, teaching and preaching in their towns.

bbe@Matthew:11:3 @To say to him, Are you he who is to come, or are we waiting for another?

bbe@Matthew:11:5 @The blind see; those who were not able to, are walking; lepers are made clean; those who were without hearing, now have their ears open; the dead come to life again, and the poor have the good news given to them.

bbe@Matthew:11:10 @This is he of whom it has been said, See, I send my servant before your face, who will make ready your way before you.

bbe@Matthew:11:12 @And from the days of John the Baptist till now, the kingdom of heaven is forcing its way in, and men of force take it.

bbe@Matthew:11:14 @And if you are able to see it, this is Elijah who was to come.

bbe@Matthew:11:16 @But what comparison may I make of this generation? It is like children seated in the market-places, crying out to one another,

bbe@Matthew:11:18 @For John came, taking no food or drink, and they say, He has an evil spirit.

bbe@Matthew:11:22 @But I say to you, It will be better for Tyre and Sidon in the day of judging, than for you.

bbe@Matthew:11:23 @And you, Capernaum, were you not to be lifted up to heaven? you will go down into hell: for if the works of power which were done in you had been done in Sodom, it would have been here to this day.

bbe@Matthew:11:24 @But I say to you that it will be better for the land of Sodom in the day of judging, than for you.

bbe@Matthew:11:25 @At that time Jesus made answer and said, I give praise to you, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because you have kept these things secret from the wise and the men of learning, and have made them clear to little children.

bbe@Matthew:11:26 @Yes, Father, for so it was pleasing in your eyes.

bbe@Matthew:11:27 @All things have been given to me by my Father; and no one has knowledge of the Son, but the Father; and no one has knowledge of the Father, but the Son, and he to whom the Son will make it clear.

bbe@Matthew:11:28 @Come to me, all you who are troubled and weighted down with care, and I will give you rest.

bbe@Matthew:11:29 @Take my yoke on you and become like me, for I am gentle and without pride, and you will have rest for your souls;

bbe@Matthew:12:2 @But the Pharisees, when they saw it, said to him, See, your disciples do that which it is not right to do on the Sabbath.

bbe@Matthew:12:3 @But he said to them, Have you no knowledge of what David did when he had need of food, and those who were with him?

bbe@Matthew:12:4 @How he went into the house of God and took for food the holy bread which it was not right for him or for those who were with him to take, but only for the priests?

bbe@Matthew:12:5 @Or is it not said in the law, how the Sabbath is broken by the priests in the Temple and they do no wrong?

bbe@Matthew:12:10 @And there was a man with a dead hand. And they put a question to him, saying, Is it right to make a man well on the Sabbath day? so that they might have something against him.

bbe@Matthew:12:11 @And he said to them, Which of you, having a sheep, if it gets into a hole on the Sabbath day, will not put out a helping hand and get it back?

bbe@Matthew:12:12 @Of how much more value is a man than a sheep! For this reason it is right to do good on the Sabbath day.

bbe@Matthew:12:18 @See my servant, the man of my selection, my loved one in whom my soul is well pleased: I will put my Spirit on him, and he will make my decision clear to the Gentiles.

bbe@Matthew:12:19 @His coming will not be with fighting or loud cries; and his voice will not be lifted up in the streets.

bbe@Matthew:12:22 @Then they took to him one with an evil spirit, who was blind and had no power of talking: and he made him well so that he had the power of talking and seeing.

bbe@Matthew:12:24 @But the Pharisees, hearing of it, said, This man only sends evil spirits out of men by Beelzebub, the ruler of evil spirits.

bbe@Matthew:12:25 @And having knowledge of their thoughts he said to them, Every kingdom having division in itself is made waste, and every town or house having division in itself will come to destruction.

bbe@Matthew:12:27 @And if I by Beelzebub send evil spirits out of men, by whom do your sons send them out? So let them be your judges.

bbe@Matthew:12:28 @But if I by the Spirit of God send out evil spirits, then is the kingdom of God come on you.

bbe@Matthew:12:30 @Whoever is not with me is against me; and he who does not take part with me in getting people together, is driving them away.

bbe@Matthew:12:31 @So I say to you, Every sin and every evil word against God will have forgiveness; but for evil words against the Spirit there will be no forgiveness.

bbe@Matthew:12:32 @And whoever says a word against the Son of man, will have forgiveness; but whoever says a word against the Holy Spirit, will not have forgiveness in this life or in that which is to come.

bbe@Matthew:12:33 @Make the tree good, and its fruit good; or make the tree bad, and its fruit bad; for by its fruit you will get knowledge of the tree.

bbe@Matthew:12:39 @But he, answering, said to them, An evil and false generation is looking for a sign; and no sign will be given to it but the sign of the prophet Jonah:

bbe@Matthew:12:43 @But the unclean spirit, when he is gone out of a man, goes through dry places looking for rest, and getting it not.

bbe@Matthew:12:44 @Then he says, I will go back into my house from which I came out; and when he comes, he sees that there is no one in it, but that it has been made fair and clean.

bbe@Matthew:12:45 @Then he goes and takes with him seven other spirits worse than himself, and they go in and make it their living-place: and the last condition of that man is worse than the first. Even so will it be with this evil generation.

bbe@Matthew:12:46 @While he was still talking to the people, his mother and his brothers came, desiring to have talk with him.

bbe@Matthew:12:47 @And one said to him, See, your mother and your brothers are outside, desiring to have talk with you.

bbe@Matthew:13:2 @And great numbers of people came together to him, so that he got into a boat; and the people took up their position by the sea.

bbe@Matthew:13:5 @And some of the seed went among the stones, where it had not much earth, and straight away it came up because the earth was not deep:

bbe@Matthew:13:6 @And when the sun was high, it was burned; and because it had no root it became dry and dead.

bbe@Matthew:13:8 @And some, falling on good earth, gave fruit, some a hundred, some sixty, some thirty times as much.

bbe@Matthew:13:11 @And he said to them in answer, To you is given the knowledge of the secrets of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it is not given.

bbe@Matthew:13:13 @For this reason I put things into the form of stories; because they see without seeing, and give ear without hearing, and the sense is not clear to them.

bbe@Matthew:13:15 @For the heart of this people has become fat and their ears are slow in hearing and their eyes are shut; for fear that they might see with their eyes and give hearing with their ears and become wise in their hearts and be turned again to me, so that I might make them well

bbe@Matthew:13:17 @For truly, I say to you that prophets and upright men had a desire to see the things which you see, and saw them not; and to have knowledge of the words which have come to your ears, and they had it not.

bbe@Matthew:13:19 @When the word of the kingdom comes to anyone, and the sense of it is not clear to him, then the Evil One comes, and quickly takes away that which was put in his heart. He is the seed dropped by the wayside.

bbe@Matthew:13:20 @And that which went on the stones, this is he who, hearing the word, straight away takes it with joy;

bbe@Matthew:13:22 @And that which was dropped among the thorns, this is he who has the word; and the cares of this life, and the deceits of wealth, put a stop to the growth of the word and it gives no fruit.

bbe@Matthew:13:23 @And the seed which was put in good earth, this is he who gives ear to the word, and gets the sense of it; who gives fruit, some a hundred, some sixty, some thirty times as much.

bbe@Matthew:13:26 @But when the green stem came up and gave fruit, the evil plants were seen at the same time.

bbe@Matthew:13:27 @And the servants of the master of the house came and said to him, Sir, did you not put good seed in your field? how then has it evil plants?

bbe@Matthew:13:28 @And he said, Someone has done this in hate. And the servants say to him, Is it your pleasure that we go and take them up?

bbe@Matthew:13:29 @But he says, No, for fear that by chance while you take up the evil plants, you may be rooting up the grain with them.

bbe@Matthew:13:32 @Which is smaller than all seeds; but when it has come up it is greater than the plants, and becomes a tree, so that the birds of heaven come and make their resting-places in its branches.

bbe@Matthew:13:33 @Another story he gave to them: The kingdom of heaven is like leaven, which a woman took, and put in three measures of meal, till it was all leavened.

bbe@Matthew:13:34 @All these things Jesus said to the people in the form of stories; and without a story he said nothing to them:

bbe@Matthew:13:35 @That it might come true which was said by the prophet, Opening my mouth, I will give out stories; I will give knowledge of things kept secret from before all time.

bbe@Matthew:13:39 @And he who put them in the earth is Satan; and the getting in of the grain is the end of the world; and those who get it in are the angels.

bbe@Matthew:13:40 @As then the evil plants are got together and burned with fire, so will it be in the end of the world.

bbe@Matthew:13:46 @And having come across one jewel of great price, he went and gave all he had in exchange for it.

bbe@Matthew:13:48 @When it was full, they took it up on the sands; and seated there they put the good into vessels, but the bad they put away.

bbe@Matthew:13:49 @So will it be in the end of the world: the angels will come and take out the bad from the good,

bbe@Matthew:13:56 @And his sisters, are they not all with us? from where, then, has he all these things?

bbe@Matthew:13:57 @And they were bitter against him. But Jesus said to them, A prophet is nowhere without honour but in his country and among his family.

bbe@Matthew:13:58 @And the works of power which he did there were small in number because they had no faith.

bbe@Matthew:14:4 @Because John had said to him, It is not right for you to have her.

bbe@Matthew:14:6 @But when Herod's birthday came, the daughter of Herodias was dancing before them, and Herod was pleased with her.

bbe@Matthew:14:7 @So he gave her his word with an oath to let her have whatever she might make request for.

bbe@Matthew:14:9 @And the king was sad; but because of his oaths and because of his guests, he gave the order for it to be given to her;

bbe@Matthew:14:11 @And his head was put on a plate and given to the girl; and she took it to her mother.

bbe@Matthew:14:12 @And his disciples came, and took up his body and put it in the earth; and they went and gave Jesus news of what had taken place.

bbe@Matthew:14:13 @Now when it came to the ears of Jesus, he went away from there in a boat, to a waste place by himself: and the people hearing of it, went after him on foot from the towns.

bbe@Matthew:14:14 @And he came out and saw a great number of people and he had pity on them, and made well those of them who were ill.

bbe@Matthew:14:19 @And he gave orders for the people to be seated on the grass; and he took the five cakes of bread and the two fishes and, looking up to heaven, he said words of blessing, and made division of the food, and gave it to the disciples, and the disciples gave it to the people.

bbe@Matthew:14:20 @And they all took of the food and had enough: and they took up twelve baskets full of broken bits which were not used.

bbe@Matthew:14:21 @And those who had food were about five thousand men, in addition to women and children.

bbe@Matthew:14:26 @And when they saw him walking on the sea, they were troubled, saying, It is a spirit; and they gave cries of fear.

bbe@Matthew:14:27 @But straight away Jesus said to them, Take heart; it is I, have no fear.

bbe@Matthew:14:28 @And Peter, answering, said to him, Lord, if it is you, give me the order to come to you on the water.

bbe@Matthew:14:31 @And straight away Jesus put out his hand and took a grip of him, and said to him, O man of little faith, why were you in doubt?

bbe@Matthew:14:36 @With the request that they might only put their hands on the edge of his robe: and all those who did so were made well.

bbe@Matthew:15:2 @Why do your disciples go against the teaching of the fathers? for they take food with unwashed hands.

bbe@Matthew:15:5 @But you say, If a man says to his father or his mother, That by which you might have had profit from me is given to God;

bbe@Matthew:15:6 @There is no need for him to give honour to his father. And you have made the word of God without effect because of your teaching.

bbe@Matthew:15:8 @These people give me honour with their lips, but their heart is far from me.

bbe@Matthew:15:16 @And he said, Are you, like them, still without wisdom?

bbe@Matthew:15:19 @For out of the heart come evil thoughts, the taking of life, broken faith between the married, unclean desires of the flesh, taking of property, false witness, bitter words:

bbe@Matthew:15:20 @These are the things which make a man unclean; but to take food with unwashed hands does not make a man unclean.

bbe@Matthew:15:22 @And a woman of Canaan came out from those parts, crying and saying, Have pity on me, O Lord, Son of David; my daughter is greatly troubled with an unclean spirit.

bbe@Matthew:15:26 @And he made answer and said, It is not right to take the children's bread and give it to the dogs.

bbe@Matthew:15:27 @But she said, Yes, Lord: but even the dogs take the bits from under their masters' table.

bbe@Matthew:15:28 @Then Jesus, answering, said to her, O woman, great is your faith: let your desire be done. And her daughter was made well from that hour.

bbe@Matthew:15:30 @And there came to him great numbers of people having with them those who were broken in body, or blind, or without voice, or wounded, or ill in any way, and a number of others; they put them down at his feet and he made them well:

bbe@Matthew:15:32 @And Jesus got his disciples together and said, I have pity for the people, because they have now been with me three days and have no food: and I will not send them away without food, or they will have no strength for the journey.

bbe@Matthew:15:36 @And he took the seven cakes of bread and the fishes; and having given praise, he gave the broken bread to the disciples, and the disciples gave it to the people.

bbe@Matthew:15:37 @And they all took food, and had enough; and they took up of the broken bits, seven baskets full.

bbe@Matthew:15:38 @And there were four thousand men who took food, together with women and children.

bbe@Matthew:16:4 @An evil and false generation is searching after a sign; and no sign will be given to it but the sign of Jonah. And he went away from them.

bbe@Matthew:16:6 @And Jesus said to them, Take care to have nothing to do with the leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees.

bbe@Matthew:16:8 @And Jesus, seeing it, said, O you of little faith, why are you reasoning among yourselves, because you have no bread?

bbe@Matthew:16:11 @How is it that you do not see that I was not talking to you about bread, but about keeping away from the leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees?

bbe@Matthew:16:12 @Then they saw that it was not the leaven of bread which he had in mind, but the teaching of the Pharisees and Sadducees.

bbe@Matthew:16:18 @And I say to you that you are Peter, and on this rock will my church be based, and the doors of hell will not overcome it.

bbe@Matthew:16:21 @From that time Jesus went on to make clear to his disciples how he would have to go up to Jerusalem, and undergo much at the hands of those in authority and the chief priests and scribes, and be put to death, and the third day come again from the dead

bbe@Matthew:16:22 @And Peter, protesting, said to him, Be it far from you, Lord; it is impossible that this will come about.

bbe@Matthew:16:25 @Because whoever has a desire to keep his life safe will have it taken from him; but whoever gives up his life because of me, will have it given back to him.

bbe@Matthew:16:26 @For what profit has a man, if he gets all the world with the loss of his life? or what will a man give in exchange for his life?

bbe@Matthew:16:27 @For the Son of man will come in the glory of his Father with his angels; and then he will give to every man the reward of his works.

bbe@Matthew:17:1 @And after six days Jesus takes with him Peter, and James, and John, his brother, and makes them go up with him into a high mountain by themselves.

bbe@Matthew:17:2 @And he was changed in form before them; and his face was shining like the sun, and his clothing became white as light.

bbe@Matthew:17:3 @And Moses and Elijah came before their eyes, talking with him.

bbe@Matthew:17:4 @And Peter made answer and said to Jesus, Lord, it is good for us to be here: if you will let me, I will make here three tents, one for you, and one for Moses, and one for Elijah.

bbe@Matthew:17:5 @While he was still talking, a bright cloud came over them: and a voice out of the cloud, saying, This is my dearly loved Son, with whom I am well pleased; give ear to him.

bbe@Matthew:17:17 @And Jesus, answering, said, O false and foolish generation, how long will I be with you? how long will I put up with you? let him come here to me.

bbe@Matthew:17:18 @And Jesus gave orders to the unclean spirit, and it went out of him: and the boy was made well from that hour.

bbe@Matthew:17:19 @Then the disciples came to Jesus privately, and said, Why were we not able to send it out?

bbe@Matthew:17:20 @And he says to them, Because of your little faith: for truly I say to you, If you have faith as a grain of mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, Be moved from this place to that; and it will be moved; and nothing will be impossible to you.

bbe@Matthew:17:27 @But, so that we may not be a cause of trouble to them, go to the sea, and let down a hook, and take the first fish which comes up; and in his mouth you will see a bit of money: take that, and give it to them for me and you.

bbe@Matthew:18:2 @And he took a little child, and put him in the middle of them,

bbe@Matthew:18:3 @And said, Truly, I say to you, If you do not have a change of heart and become like little children, you will not go into the kingdom of heaven.

bbe@Matthew:18:4 @Whoever, then, will make himself as low as this little child, the same is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven.

bbe@Matthew:18:5 @And whoever gives honour to one such little child in my name, gives honour to me:

bbe@Matthew:18:6 @But whoever is a cause of trouble to one of these little ones who have faith in me, it would be better for him to have a great stone fixed to his neck, and to come to his end in the deep sea.

bbe@Matthew:18:7 @A curse is on the earth because of trouble! for it is necessary for trouble to come; but unhappy is that man through whom the trouble comes.

bbe@Matthew:18:8 @And if your hand or your foot is a cause of trouble, let it be cut off and put it away from you: it is better for you to go into life with the loss of a hand or a foot than, having two hands or two feet, to go into the eternal fire.

bbe@Matthew:18:9 @And if your eye is a cause of trouble to you, take it out, and put it away from you: it is better for you to go into life with one eye than, having two eyes, to go into the hell of fire.

bbe@Matthew:18:10 @Let it not seem to you that one of these little ones is of no value; for I say to you that in heaven their angels see at all times the face of my Father in heaven

bbe@Matthew:18:13 @And if he comes across it, truly I say to you, he has more joy over it than over the ninety-nine which have not gone out of the way.

bbe@Matthew:18:14 @Even so it is not the pleasure of your Father in heaven for one of these little ones to come to destruction.

bbe@Matthew:18:16 @But if he will not give ear to you, take with you one or two more, that by the lips of two or three witnesses every word may be made certain.

bbe@Matthew:18:17 @And if he will not give ear to them, let it come to the hearing of the church: and if he will not give ear to the church, let him be to you as a Gentile and a tax-farmer.

bbe@Matthew:18:19 @Again, I say to you, that if two of you are in agreement on earth about anything for which they will make a request, it will be done for them by my Father in heaven.

bbe@Matthew:18:23 @For this reason the kingdom of heaven is like a king, who went over his accounts with his servants.

bbe@Matthew:18:27 @And the lord of that servant, being moved with pity, let him go, and made him free of the debt.

bbe@Matthew:18:33 @Was it not right for you to have mercy on the other servant, even as I had mercy on you?

bbe@Matthew:19:1 @And it came about that after saying these words, Jesus went away from Galilee, and came into the parts of Judaea on the other side of Jordan.

bbe@Matthew:19:3 @And certain Pharisees came to him, testing him, and saying, Is it right for a man to put away his wife for every cause?

bbe@Matthew:19:4 @And he said in answer, Have you not seen in the Writings, that he who made them at the first made them male and female, and said,

bbe@Matthew:19:7 @They say to him, Why then did Moses give orders that a husband might give her a statement in writing and be free from her?

bbe@Matthew:19:8 @He says to them, Moses, because of your hard hearts, let you put away your wives: but it has not been so from the first.

bbe@Matthew:19:10 @The disciples say to him, If this is the position of a man in relation to his wife, it is better not to be married

bbe@Matthew:19:11 @But he said to them, Not all men are able to take in this saying, but only those to whom it is given.

bbe@Matthew:19:12 @For there are men who, from birth, were without sex: and there are some who were made so by men: and there are others who have made themselves so for the kingdom of heaven. He who is able to take it, let him take it.

bbe@Matthew:19:13 @Then some people took little children to him, so that he might put his hands on them in blessing: and the disciples said sharp words to them.

bbe@Matthew:19:14 @But Jesus said, Let the little ones come to me, and do not keep them away: for of such is the kingdom of heaven.

bbe@Matthew:19:18 @He says to him, Which? And Jesus said, Do not put anyone to death, Do not be untrue in married life, Do not take what is not yours, Do not give false witness,

bbe@Matthew:19:21 @Jesus said to him, If you have a desire to be complete, go, get money for your property, and give it to the poor, and you will have wealth in heaven: and come after me.

bbe@Matthew:19:23 @And Jesus said to his disciples, Truly I say to you, It is hard for a man with much money to go into the kingdom of heaven.

bbe@Matthew:19:24 @And again I say to you, It is simpler for a camel to go through a needle's eye, than for a man with much money to go into the kingdom of God.

bbe@Matthew:19:26 @And Jesus, looking at them, said, With men this is not possible; but with God all things are possible.

bbe@Matthew:20:2 @And when he had made an agreement with the workmen for a penny a day, he sent them into his vine-garden.

bbe@Matthew:20:4 @And he said to them, Go into the vine-garden with the others, and whatever is right I will give you. And they went to work.

bbe@Matthew:20:7 @They say to him, Because no man has given us work. He says to them, Go in with the rest, into the vine-garden.

bbe@Matthew:20:11 @And when they got it, they made a protest against the master of the house,

bbe@Matthew:20:13 @But he in answer said to one of them, Friend, I do you no wrong: did you not make an agreement with me for a penny?

bbe@Matthew:20:14 @Take what is yours, and go away; it is my pleasure to give to this last, even as to you.

bbe@Matthew:20:20 @Then the mother of the sons of Zebedee came to him with her sons, giving him worship and making a request of him.

bbe@Matthew:20:23 @They say to him, We are able. He says to them, Truly, you will take of my cup: but to be seated at my right hand and at my left is not for me to give, but it is for those for whom my Father has made it ready.

bbe@Matthew:20:24 @And when it came to the ears of the ten, they were angry with the two brothers.

bbe@Matthew:20:25 @But Jesus said to them, You see that the rulers of the Gentiles are lords over them, and their great ones have authority over them.

bbe@Matthew:20:26 @Let it not be so among you: but if anyone has a desire to become great among you, let him be your servant;

bbe@Matthew:20:34 @And Jesus, being moved with pity, put his fingers on their eyes: and straight away they were able to see, and went after him.

bbe@Matthew:21:2 @Saying to them, Go into the little town in front of you, and straight away you will see an ass with a cord round her neck, and a young one with her; let them loose and come with them to me.

bbe@Matthew:21:7 @And got the ass and the young one, and put their clothing on them, and he took his seat on it.

bbe@Matthew:21:13 @And he said to them, It is in the Writings, My house is to be named a house of prayer, but you are making it a hole of thieves.

bbe@Matthew:21:16 @Have you any idea what these are saying? And Jesus said to them, Yes: have you not seen in the Writings, From the lips of children and babies at the breast you have made your praise complete?

bbe@Matthew:21:19 @And seeing a fig-tree by the wayside, he came to it, and saw nothing on it but leaves only; and he said to it, Let there be no fruit from you from this time forward for ever. And straight away the fig-tree became dry and dead.

bbe@Matthew:21:20 @And when the disciples saw it they were surprised, saying, How did the fig-tree become dry in so short a time?

bbe@Matthew:21:21 @And Jesus in answer said to them, Truly I say to you, If you have faith, without doubting, not only may you do what has been done to the fig-tree, but even if you say to this mountain, Be taken up and put into the sea, it will be done.

bbe@Matthew:21:22 @And all things, whatever you make request for in prayer, having faith, you will get.

bbe@Matthew:21:23 @And when he had come into the Temple, the chief priests and those in authority over the people came to him while he was teaching, and said, By what authority do you do these things? and who gave you this authority?

bbe@Matthew:21:24 @And Jesus said to them in answer, I will put one question to you, and if you give me the answer, I will say by what authority I do these things.

bbe@Matthew:21:25 @The baptism of John, where did it come from? from heaven or from men? And they were reasoning among themselves, saying, If we say, From heaven; he will say to us, Why then did you not have faith in him?

bbe@Matthew:21:27 @And they made answer and said, We have no idea. Then he said to them, And I will not say to you by what authority I do these things.

bbe@Matthew:21:28 @But how does it seem to you? A man had two sons; and he came to the first, and said, Son, go and do work today in the vine-garden.

bbe@Matthew:21:32 @For John came to you in the way of righteousness, and you had no faith in him, but the tax-farmers and the loose women had faith in him: and you, when you saw it, did not even have regret for your sins, so as to have faith in him.

bbe@Matthew:21:33 @Give ear to another story. A master of a house made a vine garden, and put a wall round it, and made a place for crushing out the wine, and made a tower, and let it out to field-workers, and went into another country.

bbe@Matthew:21:34 @And when the time for the fruit came near, he sent his servants to the workmen, to get the fruit.

bbe@Matthew:21:38 @But when the workmen saw the son, they said among themselves, This is he who will one day be the owner of the property; come, let us put him to death and take his heritage.

bbe@Matthew:21:41 @They say to him, He will put those cruel men to a cruel death, and will let out the vine-garden to other workmen, who will give him the fruit when it is ready.

bbe@Matthew:21:42 @Jesus says to them, Did you never see in the Writings, The stone which the builders put on one side, the same has been made the chief stone of the building: this was the Lord's doing, and it is a wonder in our eyes?

bbe@Matthew:21:43 @For this reason I say to you, The kingdom of God will be taken away from you, and will be given to a nation producing the fruits of it.

bbe@Matthew:21:44 @Any man falling on this stone will be broken, but he on whom it comes down will be crushed to dust.

bbe@Matthew:22:4 @Again he sent out other servants, with orders to say to the guests, See, I have made ready my feast: my oxen and my fat beasts have been put to death, and all things are ready: come to the feast.

bbe@Matthew:22:7 @But the king was angry; and he sent his armies, and those who had put his servants to death he gave to destruction, burning down their town with fire.

bbe@Matthew:22:16 @And they sent to him their disciples, with the Herodians, saying, Master, we see that you are true, and that you are teaching the true way of God, and have no fear of anyone, because you have no respect for a man's position

bbe@Matthew:22:17 @Give us, then, your opinion of this: Is it right to give tax to Caesar, or not?

bbe@Matthew:22:20 @And he said to them, Whose is this image and name on it?

bbe@Matthew:22:22 @And hearing it, they were full of wonder, and went away from him.

bbe@Matthew:22:29 @But Jesus said to them in answer, You are in error, not having knowledge of the Writings, or of the power of God.

bbe@Matthew:22:31 @But about the dead coming back to life, have you no knowledge of what was said to you by God in the Writings:

bbe@Matthew:22:33 @And the people hearing it were surprised at his teaching.

bbe@Matthew:22:37 @And he said to him, Have love for the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind.

bbe@Matthew:22:39 @And a second like it is this, Have love for your neighbour as for yourself.

bbe@Matthew:22:43 @He says to them, How then does David in the Spirit give him the name of Lord, saying,

bbe@Matthew:23:2 @The scribes and the Pharisees have the authority of Moses;

bbe@Matthew:23:16 @A curse is on you, blind guides, who say, Whoever takes an oath by the Temple, it is nothing; but whoever takes an oath by the gold of the Temple, he is responsible.

bbe@Matthew:23:18 @And, Whoever takes an oath by the altar, it is nothing; but whoever takes an oath by the offering which is on it, he is responsible

bbe@Matthew:23:20 @He, then, who takes an oath by the altar, takes it by the altar and by all things on it.

bbe@Matthew:23:21 @And he who takes an oath by the Temple, takes it by the Temple and by him whose house it is.

bbe@Matthew:23:22 @And he who takes an oath by heaven, takes it by the seat of God, and by him who is seated on it.

bbe@Matthew:23:23 @A curse is on you, scribes and Pharisees, false ones! for you make men give a tenth of all sorts of sweet-smelling plants, but you give no thought to the more important things of the law, righteousness, and mercy, and faith; but it is right for you to do these, and not to let the others be undone.

bbe@Matthew:23:27 @A curse is on you, scribes and Pharisees, false ones! for you are like the resting-places of the dead, which are made white, and seem beautiful on the outside, but inside are full of dead men's bones and of all unclean things.

bbe@Matthew:23:30 @If we had been living in the days of our fathers, we would not have taken part with them in the blood of the prophets.

bbe@Matthew:23:31 @So that you are witnesses against yourselves that you are the sons of those who put the prophets to death.

bbe@Matthew:24:6 @And news will come to you of wars and talk of wars: do not be troubled, for these things have to be; but it is still not the end.

bbe@Matthew:24:7 @For nation will be moved against nation, and kingdom against kingdom, and men will be without food, and the earth will be shaking in different places;

bbe@Matthew:24:14 @And this good news of the kingdom will be given through all the world for a witness to all nations; and then the end will come.

bbe@Matthew:24:19 @But it will be hard for women who are with child and for those with babies at the breast in those days.

bbe@Matthew:24:23 @Then if any man says to you, See, here is the Christ, or, Here; do not put faith in him;

bbe@Matthew:24:25 @See, I have made it clear to you before it comes about.

bbe@Matthew:24:26 @If, then, they say to you, See, he is in the waste land; go not out: See, he is in the inner rooms; put no faith in it.

bbe@Matthew:24:30 @And then the sign of the Son of man will be seen in heaven: and then all the nations of the earth will have sorrow, and they will see the Son of man coming on the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.

bbe@Matthew:24:31 @And he will send out his angels with a great sound of a horn, and they will get his saints together from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.

bbe@Matthew:24:32 @Now take an example from the fig-tree: when her branch has become soft and puts out its leaves, you are certain that the summer is near;

bbe@Matthew:24:49 @And is cruel to the other servants, taking his pleasure with those who are overcome with wine;

bbe@Matthew:25:1 @Then the kingdom of heaven will be like ten virgins, the friends of the bride, who took their lights, and went out with the purpose of meeting the husband.

bbe@Matthew:25:3 @For the foolish, when they took their lights, took no oil with them.

bbe@Matthew:25:4 @But the wise took oil in their vessels with their lights.

bbe@Matthew:25:9 @But the wise made answer, saying, There may not be enough for us and you; it would be better for you to go to the traders and get oil for yourselves

bbe@Matthew:25:10 @And while they went to get oil, the master came; and those who were ready went in with him to the feast: and the door was shut.

bbe@Matthew:25:14 @For it is as when a man, about to take a journey, got his servants together, and gave them his property.

bbe@Matthew:25:16 @Straight away he who had been given the five talents went and did trade with them, and made five more.

bbe@Matthew:25:18 @But he who was given the one went away and put it in a hole in the earth, and kept his lord's money in a secret place.

bbe@Matthew:25:19 @Now after a long time the lord of those servants comes, and makes up his account with them.

bbe@Matthew:25:20 @And he who had the five talents came with his other five talents, saying, Lord, you gave into my care five talents: see, I have got five more.

bbe@Matthew:25:24 @And he who had had the one talent came and said, Lord, I had knowledge that you are a hard man, getting in grain where you have not put seed, and making profits for which you have done no work:

bbe@Matthew:25:26 @But his lord in answer said to him, You are a bad and unready servant; if you had knowledge that I get in grain where I did not put seed, and make profits for which I have done no work,

bbe@Matthew:25:27 @Why, then, did you not put my money in the bank, and at my coming I would have got back what is mine with interest?

bbe@Matthew:25:28 @Take away, then, his talent and give it to him who has the ten talents.

bbe@Matthew:25:30 @And put out the servant who is of no profit into the outer dark: there will be weeping and cries of sorrow.

bbe@Matthew:25:31 @But when the Son of man comes in his glory, and all the angels with him, then will he be seated in his glory:

bbe@Matthew:25:35 @For I was in need of food, and you gave it to me: I was in need of drink, and you gave it to me: I was wandering, and you took me in;

bbe@Matthew:25:36 @I had no clothing, and you gave it to me: when I was ill, or in prison, you came to me.

bbe@Matthew:25:37 @Then will the upright make answer to him, saying, Lord, when did we see you in need of food, and give it to you? or in need of drink, and give it to you?

bbe@Matthew:25:38 @And when did we see you wandering, and take you in? or without clothing, and give it to you?

bbe@Matthew:25:40 @And the King will make answer and say to them, Truly I say to you, Because you did it to the least of these my brothers, you did it to me.

bbe@Matthew:25:42 @For I was in need of food, and you gave it not to me; I was in need of drink, and you gave it not to me:

bbe@Matthew:25:43 @I was wandering, and you took me not in; without clothing, and you gave me no clothing; ill, and in prison, and you came not to me.

bbe@Matthew:25:44 @Then will they make answer, saying, Lord, when did we see you in need of food or drink, or wandering, or without clothing, or ill, or in prison, and did not take care of you?

bbe@Matthew:25:45 @Then will he make answer to them, saying, Truly I say to you, Because you did it not to the least of these, you did it not to me.

bbe@Matthew:26:8 @But when the disciples saw it they were angry, saying, To what purpose is this waste?

bbe@Matthew:26:9 @For we might have got much money for this and given it to the poor.

bbe@Matthew:26:10 @But Jesus, seeing it, said to them, Why are you troubling the woman? she has done a kind act to me.

bbe@Matthew:26:11 @For the poor you have ever with you, but me you have not for ever

bbe@Matthew:26:12 @For in putting this perfume on my body, she did it to make me ready for my last resting-place.

bbe@Matthew:26:15 @What will you give me, if I give him up to you? And the price was fixed at thirty bits of silver.

bbe@Matthew:26:18 @And he said to them, Go into the town to such a man, and say to him, The Master says, My time is near: I will keep the Passover at your house with my disciples.

bbe@Matthew:26:20 @Now when evening was come, he was seated at table with the twelve disciples;

bbe@Matthew:26:22 @And they were very said, and said to him, one by one, Is it I, Lord?

bbe@Matthew:26:23 @And he made answer and said, He who puts his hand into the plate with me, the same will be false to me.

bbe@Matthew:26:24 @The Son of man goes, even as the Writings say of him: but a curse is on that man through whom the Son of man is given up; it would have been well for that man if he had never come into the world.

bbe@Matthew:26:25 @And Judas, who was false to him, made answer and said, Is it I, Master? He says to him, Yes.

bbe@Matthew:26:26 @And when they were taking food, Jesus took bread and, after blessing it, he gave the broken bread to the disciples and said, Take it; this is my body.

bbe@Matthew:26:27 @And he took a cup and, having given praise, he gave it to them, saying,

bbe@Matthew:26:28 @Take of it, all of you, for this is my blood of the testament, which is given for men for the forgiveness of sins.

bbe@Matthew:26:29 @But I say to you that from now I will not take of this fruit of the vine, till that day when I take it new with you in my Father's kingdom.

bbe@Matthew:26:31 @Then said Jesus to them, All of you will be turned away from me this night: for it is said in the Writings, I will put to death the keeper of the sheep, and the sheep of the flock will be put to flight.

bbe@Matthew:26:35 @Peter says to him, Even if I am put to death with you, I will not be false to you. So said all the disciples.

bbe@Matthew:26:36 @Then comes Jesus with them to a place named Gethsemane, and says to his disciples, Be seated here, while I go over there for prayer.

bbe@Matthew:26:37 @And he took with him Peter and the two sons of Zebedee, and became sad and very troubled.

bbe@Matthew:26:38 @Then says he to them, My soul is very sad, even to death: keep watch with me here.

bbe@Matthew:26:39 @And he went forward a little, and falling down on his face in prayer, he said, O my Father, if it is possible, let this cup go from me; but let not my pleasure, but yours be done.

bbe@Matthew:26:40 @And he comes to the disciples, and sees that they are sleeping, and says to Peter, What, were you not able to keep watch with me one hour?

bbe@Matthew:26:41 @Keep watch with prayer, so that you may not be put to the test: the spirit truly is ready, but the flesh is feeble.

bbe@Matthew:26:42 @Again, a second time he went away, and said in prayer, O my Father, if this may not go from me without my taking it, let your pleasure be done.

bbe@Matthew:26:47 @And while he was still talking, Judas, one of the twelve, came, and with him a band armed with swords and sticks, from the chief priests and those in authority over the people.

bbe@Matthew:26:51 @And one of those who were with Jesus put out his hand, and took out his sword and gave the servant of the high priest a blow, cutting off his ear.

bbe@Matthew:26:52 @Then says Jesus to him, Put up your sword again into its place: for all those who take the sword will come to death by the sword.

bbe@Matthew:26:53 @Does it not seem possible to you that if I make request to my Father he will even now send me an army of angels?

bbe@Matthew:26:54 @But how then would the Writings come true, which say that so it has to be?

bbe@Matthew:26:55 @In that hour Jesus said to the people, Have you come out as against a thief with swords and sticks to take me? I was teaching every day in the Temple and you took me not.

bbe@Matthew:26:56 @But all this has taken place so that the writings of the prophets might come true. Then all his disciples went from him in flight.

bbe@Matthew:26:57 @And those who had made Jesus prisoner took him away to the house of Caiaphas, the high priest, where the scribes and those in authority over the people had come together.

bbe@Matthew:26:58 @But Peter went after him at a distance, to the house of the high priest, and went in and took his seat with the servants, to see the end.

bbe@Matthew:26:59 @Now the chief priests and all the Sanhedrin were looking for false witness against Jesus, so that they might put him to death;

bbe@Matthew:26:60 @And they were not able to get it, though a number of false witnesses came.

bbe@Matthew:26:61 @But later there came two who said, This man said, I am able to give the Temple of God to destruction, and to put it up again in three days.

bbe@Matthew:26:62 @And the high priest got up and said to him, Have you no answer? what is it which these say against you?

bbe@Matthew:26:65 @Then the high priest, violently parting his robes, said, He has said evil against God: what more need have we of witnesses? for now his words against God have come to your ears:

bbe@Matthew:26:66 @What is your opinion? They made answer and said, It is right for him to be put to death.

bbe@Matthew:26:69 @Now Peter was seated in the open square outside the house: and a servant-girl came to him, saying, You were with Jesus the Galilaean.

bbe@Matthew:26:70 @But he said before them all that it was false, saying, I have no knowledge of what you say.

bbe@Matthew:26:71 @And when he had gone out into the doorway, another saw him and says to those who were there, This man was with Jesus the Nazarene.

bbe@Matthew:26:72 @And again he said with an oath, I have no knowledge of the man.

bbe@Matthew:26:73 @And after a little time those who were near came and said to Peter, Truly you are one of them; because your talk is witness against you.

bbe@Matthew:26:74 @Then with curses and oaths he said, I have no knowledge of the man. And straight away there came the cry of a cock.

bbe@Matthew:26:75 @And the word of Jesus came back to Peter, when he said, Before the hour of the cock's cry, you will say three times that you have no knowledge of me. And he went out, weeping bitterly.

bbe@Matthew:27:1 @Now when it was morning, all the chief priests and those in authority took thought together with the purpose of putting Jesus to death.

bbe@Matthew:27:3 @Then Judas, who was false to him, seeing that he was to be put to death, in his regret took back the thirty bits of silver to the chief priests and those in authority,

bbe@Matthew:27:4 @Saying, I have done wrong in giving into your hands an upright man. But they said, What is that to us? it is your business.

bbe@Matthew:27:6 @And the chief priests took the silver and said, It is not right to put it in the Temple store for it is the price of blood.

bbe@Matthew:27:7 @And they made a decision to get with the silver the potter's field, as a place for the dead of other countries.

bbe@Matthew:27:9 @Then came true that which was said by Jeremiah the prophet, And they took the thirty bits of silver, the price of him who was valued by the children of Israel;

bbe@Matthew:27:12 @But when the chief priests and those in authority made statements against him, he gave no answer.

bbe@Matthew:27:13 @Then says Pilate to him, Do you give no attention to what their witnesses say against you?

bbe@Matthew:27:15 @Now at the feast it was the way for the ruler to let free to the people one prisoner, at their selection.

bbe@Matthew:27:19 @And while he was on the judge's seat, his wife sent to him, saying, Have nothing to do with that upright man, for I have had much trouble this day in a dream because of him.

bbe@Matthew:27:20 @Now the chief priests and those in authority got the people to make request for Barabbas, and for Jesus to be put to death.

bbe@Matthew:27:21 @But the ruler made answer and said to them, Which of the two is it your pleasure that I let go free? And they said, Barabbas.

bbe@Matthew:27:22 @Pilate says to them, What, then, am I to do with Jesus, who is named Christ? They all say, Let him be put to death on the cross.

bbe@Matthew:27:23 @And he said, Why, what evil has he done? But they gave loud cries, saying, To the cross with him!

bbe@Matthew:27:29 @And they made a crown of thorns and put it on his head, and put a rod in his right hand, and they went down on their knees before him, and made sport of him, saying, Long life to the King of the Jews.

bbe@Matthew:27:30 @And they put shame on him, and gave him blows on the head with the rod.

bbe@Matthew:27:32 @And while they were coming out, they saw a man of Cyrene, Simon by name, and they made him go with them, so that he might take up his cross.

bbe@Matthew:27:34 @They gave him wine mixed with bitter drink: and after tasting it, he took no more.

bbe@Matthew:27:37 @And they put up over his head the statement of his crime in writing, THIS IS JESUS THE KING OF THE JEWS.

bbe@Matthew:27:38 @Then two thieves were put on crosses with him, one on the right and one on the left.

bbe@Matthew:27:39 @And those who went by said bitter words to him, shaking their heads and saying,

bbe@Matthew:27:40 @You who would give the Temple to destruction and put it up again in three days, get yourself free: if you are the Son of God, come down from the cross.

bbe@Matthew:27:41 @In the same way, the chief priests, making sport of him, with the scribes and those in authority, said,

bbe@Matthew:27:42 @A saviour of others, he has no salvation for himself. If he is the King of Israel, let him now come down from the cross, and we will have faith in him.

bbe@Matthew:27:43 @He put his faith in God; let God be his saviour now, if he will have him; for he said, I am the Son of God.

bbe@Matthew:27:45 @Now from the sixth hour it was dark over all the land till the ninth hour.

bbe@Matthew:27:47 @And some of those who were near by, hearing it, said, This man is crying to Elijah.

bbe@Matthew:27:48 @And straight away one of them went quickly, and took a sponge, and made it full of bitter wine, and put it on a rod and gave him drink.

bbe@Matthew:27:50 @And Jesus gave another loud cry, and gave up his spirit.

bbe@Matthew:27:54 @Now the captain and those who were with him watching Jesus, when they saw the earth-shock and the things which were done, were in great fear and said, Truly this was a son of God.

bbe@Matthew:27:55 @And a number of women were there, watching from a distance, who had come with Jesus from Galilee, waiting on his needs.

bbe@Matthew:27:58 @This man went in to Pilate, and made a request for the body of Jesus. Then Pilate gave orders for it to be given to him.

bbe@Matthew:27:59 @And Joseph took the body, folding it in clean linen,

bbe@Matthew:27:60 @And put it in the resting-place which had been cut out of the rock for himself; and after rolling a great stone to the door of it he went away.

bbe@Matthew:27:65 @Pilate said to them, You have watchmen; go and make it as safe as you are able.

bbe@Matthew:27:66 @So they went, and made safe the place where his body was, putting a stamp on the stone, and the watchmen were with them.

bbe@Matthew:28:2 @And there was a great earth-shock; for an angel of the Lord came down from heaven and, rolling back the stone, took his seat on it.

bbe@Matthew:28:3 @His form was shining like the light, and his clothing was white as snow:

bbe@Matthew:28:8 @And they went away quickly, with fear and great joy, to give his disciples the news.

bbe@Matthew:28:12 @And when they had come together with those in authority, and had made their decision, they gave much money to the watchmen, saying,

bbe@Matthew:28:18 @And Jesus came to them and said, All authority has been given to me in heaven and on earth.

bbe@Matthew:28:19 @Go then, and make disciples of all the nations, giving them baptism in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit:

bbe@Matthew:28:20 @Teaching them to keep all the rules which I have given you: and see, I am ever with you, even to the end of the world.

bbe@Mark:1:2 @Even as it is said in the book of Isaiah the prophet, See, I send my servant before your face, who will make ready your way;

bbe@Mark:1:6 @And John was clothed in camel's hair, with a leather band about him; and his food was locusts and honey.

bbe@Mark:1:8 @I have given you baptism with water, but he will give you baptism with the Holy Spirit.

bbe@Mark:1:9 @And it came about in those days, that Jesus came from Nazareth of Galilee, and was given baptism by John in the Jordan.

bbe@Mark:1:10 @And straight away, coming up out of the water, he saw the heavens broken open and the Spirit coming down on him as a dove:

bbe@Mark:1:11 @And a voice came out of heaven, You are my dearly loved Son, with whom I am well pleased.

bbe@Mark:1:12 @And straight away the Spirit sent him out into the waste land.

bbe@Mark:1:13 @And he was in the waste land for forty days, being tested by Satan; and he was with the beasts; and the angels took care of him.

bbe@Mark:1:15 @And saying, The time has come, and the kingdom of God is near: let your hearts be turned from sin and have faith in the good news.

bbe@Mark:1:19 @And going on a little farther, he saw James, the son of Zebedee, and John his brother, who were in their boat stitching up their nets.

bbe@Mark:1:20 @And he said, Come after me: and they went away from their father Zebedee, who was in the boat with the servants, and came after him.

bbe@Mark:1:22 @And they were full of wonder at his teaching, because he gave it as one having authority, and not like the scribes.

bbe@Mark:1:23 @And there was in their Synagogue a man with an unclean spirit; and he gave a cry,

bbe@Mark:1:24 @Saying, What have we to do with you, Jesus of Nazareth? have you come to put an end to us? I see well who you are, the Holy One of God.

bbe@Mark:1:26 @And the unclean spirit, shaking him violently, and crying with a loud voice, came out of him.

bbe@Mark:1:27 @And they were all greatly surprised, so that they put questions to one another, saying, What is this? a new teaching! with authority he gives orders even to the unclean spirits, and they do what he says.

bbe@Mark:1:29 @And when they came out of the Synagogue, they went into the house of Simon and Andrew, with James and John.

bbe@Mark:1:30 @Now Simon's wife's mother was ill, with a burning heat; and they gave him word of her:

bbe@Mark:1:32 @And in the evening, at sundown, they took to him all who were diseased, and those who had evil spirits.

bbe@Mark:1:34 @And a number, who were ill with different diseases, he made well, and sent out evil spirits; but he did not let the evil spirits say anything, because they had knowledge of him.

bbe@Mark:1:36 @And Simon and those who were with him came after him.

bbe@Mark:1:37 @And when they came up with him, they said to him, Everyone is looking for you.

bbe@Mark:1:39 @And he went into their Synagogues in every part of Galilee, preaching and driving out evil spirits.

bbe@Mark:1:40 @And a leper came to him and, going down on his knees before him, made a request, saying, If it is your pleasure, you have the power to make me clean.

bbe@Mark:1:41 @And being moved with pity, he put out his hand, and touching him said to him, It is my pleasure; be made clean.

bbe@Mark:1:44 @See that you say nothing to any man: but go and let the priest see you, and make yourself clean by an offering of the things ordered by Moses, for a witness to them.

bbe@Mark:1:45 @But he went out, and made it public, giving an account of it everywhere, so that Jesus was no longer able to go openly into a town, but was outside in the waste land; and they came to him from every part.

bbe@Mark:2:3 @And four men came to him with one on a bed who had no power of moving.

bbe@Mark:2:4 @And when they were unable to get near him because of all the people, they got the roof uncovered where he was: and when it was broken up, they let down the bed on which the man was.

bbe@Mark:2:5 @And Jesus, seeing their faith, said to him, Son, you have forgiveness for your sins.

bbe@Mark:2:8 @And Jesus, having knowledge in his spirit of their thoughts, said to them, Why are you reasoning about these things in your hearts?

bbe@Mark:2:10 @But so that you may see that the Son of man has authority for the forgiveness of sins on earth, (he said to the man,)

bbe@Mark:2:14 @And when he went by, he saw Levi, the son of Alphaeus, seated at the place where taxes were taken, and he said to him, Come with me. And he got up, and went with him.

bbe@Mark:2:15 @And it came about that he was seated at meat in his house, and a number of tax-farmers and sinners were at table with Jesus and his disciples: for there were a great number of them, and they came after him.

bbe@Mark:2:16 @And the scribes of the Pharisees, when they saw that he was taking food with the tax-farmers and sinners, said to his disciples, Why does he take food and drink with such men?

bbe@Mark:2:17 @And Jesus, hearing it, said to them, Those who are well have no need of a medical man, but those who are ill: I have come not to get the upright but sinners.

bbe@Mark:2:18 @And John's disciples and the Pharisees were taking no food: and they came and said to him, Why do John's disciples and the disciples of the Pharisees go without food, but your disciples do not?

bbe@Mark:2:19 @And Jesus said to them, Will the friends of a newly-married man go without food while he is with them? as long as they have him with them they will not go without food.

bbe@Mark:2:20 @But the days will come when the husband will be taken away from them, and then they will go without food.

bbe@Mark:2:21 @No man puts a bit of new cloth on an old coat: or the new, by pulling away from the old, makes a worse hole.

bbe@Mark:2:23 @And it came about that on the Sabbath day he was going through the grain-fields; and while they were walking, his disciples took the heads of grain.

bbe@Mark:2:24 @And the Pharisees said to him, Why are they doing what it is not right to do on the Sabbath?

bbe@Mark:2:25 @And he said to them, Have you no knowledge of what David did, when he had need and was without food, he, and those who were with him?

bbe@Mark:2:26 @How he went into the house of God when Abiathar was high priest, and took for food the holy bread, which only the priests may take, and gave it to those who were with him?

bbe@Mark:3:4 @And he said to them, Is it right to do good on the Sabbath or to do evil? to give life or to put to death? But they said nothing.

bbe@Mark:3:5 @And looking round on them he was angry, being sad because of their hard hearts; and he said to the man, Put out your hand. And he put it out, and his hand was made well.

bbe@Mark:3:6 @And the Pharisees went out, and straight away made designs with the Herodians about how they might put him to death.

bbe@Mark:3:7 @And Jesus went away with his disciples to the sea, and a great number from Galilee came after him: and from Judaea,

bbe@Mark:3:9 @And he made a request to his disciples to have a little boat ready for him, so that he might not be crushed by the people;

bbe@Mark:3:11 @And the unclean spirits, whenever they saw him, went down before him, crying out, and saying, You are the Son of God.

bbe@Mark:3:13 @And he went up into the mountain, and sent for those whom it was his pleasure to have with him: and they went to him.

bbe@Mark:3:14 @And he took twelve to be with him, so that he might send them out as preachers,

bbe@Mark:3:15 @And give them the power of driving out evil spirits:

bbe@Mark:3:21 @And when his friends had news of it, they went out to get him, saying, He is off his head.

bbe@Mark:3:22 @And the scribes who came down from Jerusalem, said, He has Beelzebub, and, By the ruler of evil spirits he sends evil spirits out of men.

bbe@Mark:3:23 @And turning to them, he said to them in the form of a story, How is it possible for Satan to put out Satan?

bbe@Mark:3:26 @And if Satan is at war with himself, and there is division in him, he will not keep his place but will come to an end.

bbe@Mark:3:27 @But no one is able to go into the house of the strong man and take his goods, without first putting cords round the strong man, and then he will take his goods.

bbe@Mark:3:29 @But whoever says evil things against the Holy Spirit will never have forgiveness, but the evil he has done will be with him for ever:

bbe@Mark:3:30 @Because they said, He has an unclean spirit.

bbe@Mark:4:4 @And while he was doing it, some was dropped by the wayside, and the birds came and took it for food.

bbe@Mark:4:5 @And some went on the stones, where it had not much earth; and it came up straight away, because the earth was not deep:

bbe@Mark:4:6 @And when the sun was high, it was burned; and because it had no root, it became dry and dead.

bbe@Mark:4:7 @And some went among the thorns, and the thorns came up, and it had no room for growth and gave no fruit.

bbe@Mark:4:8 @And some, falling on good earth, gave fruit, coming up and increasing, and giving thirty, sixty, and a hundred times as much.

bbe@Mark:4:10 @And when he was by himself, those who were round him with the twelve put questions to him about the purpose of the stories

bbe@Mark:4:12 @So that seeing they may see, and it will not be clear to them; and hearing it, they will not get the sense; for fear that they may be turned again to me and have forgiveness.

bbe@Mark:4:16 @And in the same way, these are they who are planted on the stones, who, when the word has come to their ears, straight away take it with joy;

bbe@Mark:4:19 @And the cares of this life, and the deceits of wealth, and the desire for other things coming in, put a stop to the growth of the word, and it gives no fruit.

bbe@Mark:4:20 @And these are they who were planted on the good earth; such as give ear to the word, and take it into their hearts, and give fruit, thirty and sixty and a hundred times as much.

bbe@Mark:4:21 @And he said to them, When the light comes in, do people put it under a vessel, or under the bed, and not on its table?

bbe@Mark:4:28 @The earth gives fruit by herself; first the leaf, then the head, then the full grain.

bbe@Mark:4:29 @But when the grain is ready, he quickly sends men to get it cut, because the time for cutting has come.

bbe@Mark:4:30 @And he said, What picture may we give of the kingdom of God, or with what story may we make it clear?

bbe@Mark:4:31 @It is like a grain of mustard seed, which, when it is put in the earth, is smaller than all the seeds on the earth,

bbe@Mark:4:32 @But when it is planted, it comes up, and becomes taller than all the plants, and puts out great branches, so that the birds of heaven are able to take rest in its shade.

bbe@Mark:4:33 @And with a number of such stories he gave them his teaching, as they were able to take it:

bbe@Mark:4:34 @And without a story he said nothing to them: but privately to his disciples he made all things clear.

bbe@Mark:4:36 @And going away from the people, they took him with them, as he was, in the boat. And other boats were with him.

bbe@Mark:4:38 @And he himself was in the back of the boat, sleeping on the cushion: and they, awaking him, said, Master, is it nothing to you that we are in danger of destruction?

bbe@Mark:4:40 @And he said to them, Why are you full of fear? have you still no faith?

bbe@Mark:5:2 @And when he had got out of the boat, straight away there came to him from the place of the dead a man with an unclean spirit.

bbe@Mark:5:3 @He was living in the place of the dead: and no man was able to keep him down, no, not with a chain;

bbe@Mark:5:5 @And all the time, by day and by night, in the place of the dead, and in the mountains, he was crying out and cutting himself with stones.

bbe@Mark:5:7 @And crying out with a loud voice he said, What have I to do with you, Jesus, Son of the Most High God? In God's name, do not be cruel to me.

bbe@Mark:5:8 @For Jesus had said to him, Come out of the man, you unclean spirit.

bbe@Mark:5:13 @And he let them do it. And the unclean spirits came out and went into the pigs; and the herd went rushing down a sharp slope into the sea, about two thousand of them; and they came to their death in the sea.

bbe@Mark:5:14 @And their keepers went running and gave an account of it in the town and in the country. And people came to see what had taken place.

bbe@Mark:5:15 @And they came to Jesus, and saw the man in whom had been the evil spirits seated, clothed and with full use of his senses, and they were full of fear.

bbe@Mark:5:16 @And those who had seen it gave them an account of what had been done to him who had the evil spirits, and of the fate of the pigs.

bbe@Mark:5:18 @And when he was getting into the boat, the man in whom had been the evil spirits had a great desire to come with him.

bbe@Mark:5:23 @And made strong prayers to him, saying, My little daughter is near to death: it is my prayer that you will come and put your hands on her, so that she may be made well, and have life.

bbe@Mark:5:24 @And he went with him; and a great number of people went after him, and came round him.

bbe@Mark:5:33 @The woman, shaking with fear, conscious of what had been done to her, came and, falling on her face before him, gave him a true account of everything.

bbe@Mark:5:34 @And he said to her, Daughter, your faith has made you well; go in peace, and be free from your disease.

bbe@Mark:5:36 @But Jesus, giving no attention to their words, said to the ruler of the Synagogue, Have no fear, only have faith.

bbe@Mark:5:37 @And he did not let anyone come with him, but Peter and James and John, the brother of James.

bbe@Mark:5:40 @And they were laughing at him. But he, having sent them all out, took the father of the child and her mother and those who were with him, and went in where the child was.

bbe@Mark:5:41 @And taking her by the hand, he said to her, Talitha cumi, which is, My child, I say to you, Get up.

bbe@Mark:5:42 @And the young girl got up straight away, and was walking about; she being twelve years old. And they were overcome with wonder.

bbe@Mark:6:1 @And he went away from there, and came into his country; and his disciples went with him.

bbe@Mark:6:3 @Is not this the woodworker, the son of Mary, and brother of James and Joses and Judas and Simon? and are not his sisters here with us? And they were bitter against him.

bbe@Mark:6:4 @And Jesus said to them, A prophet is nowhere without honour, but in his country, and among his relations, and in his family.

bbe@Mark:6:6 @And he was greatly surprised because they had no faith. And he went about the country places teaching.

bbe@Mark:6:7 @And he gave orders to the twelve, and sent them out two by two; and he gave them authority over the unclean spirits;

bbe@Mark:6:9 @They were to go with common shoes on their feet, and not to take two coats.

bbe@Mark:6:11 @And whatever place will not take you in and will not give ear to you, when you go away, put off the dust from your feet as a witness against them.

bbe@Mark:6:13 @And they sent out a number of evil spirits, and put oil on a great number who were ill, and made them well.

bbe@Mark:6:15 @But others said, It is Elijah. And others said, It is a prophet, even like one of the prophets.

bbe@Mark:6:16 @But Herod, when he had news of it, said, John, whom I put to death, has come back from the dead.

bbe@Mark:6:18 @For John said to Herod, It is wrong for you to have your brother's wife.

bbe@Mark:6:19 @And Herodias was bitter against him, desiring to put him to death; but she was not able;

bbe@Mark:6:22 @And when the daughter of Herodias herself came in and did a dance, Herod and those who were at table with him were pleased with her; and the king said to the girl, Make a request for anything and I will give it you.

bbe@Mark:6:23 @And he took an oath, saying to her, Whatever is your desire I will give it to you, even half of my kingdom.

bbe@Mark:6:26 @And the king was very sad; but because of his oaths, and those who were with him at table, he would not say 'No' to her.

bbe@Mark:6:27 @And straight away the king sent out one of his armed men, and gave him an order to come back with the head: and he went and took off John's head in prison,

bbe@Mark:6:28 @And came back with the head on a plate, and gave it to the girl; and the girl gave it to her mother.

bbe@Mark:6:29 @And when his disciples had news of it, they came and took up his body, and put it in its last resting-place.

bbe@Mark:6:34 @And he got out, and saw a great mass of people, and he had pity on them, because they were like sheep without a keeper: and he gave them teaching about a number of things.

bbe@Mark:6:35 @And at the end of the day, his disciples came to him and said, This place is waste land, and it is late:

bbe@Mark:6:37 @But he said to them in answer, Give them food yourselves. And they said to him, Are we to go and get bread for two hundred pence, and give it to them?

bbe@Mark:6:43 @And they took up twelve baskets full of the broken bits and of the fishes.

bbe@Mark:6:49 @But they, when they saw him walking on the sea, took him for a spirit, and gave a loud cry:

bbe@Mark:6:50 @For they all saw him, and were troubled. But straight away he said to them, Take heart, it is I, have no fear.

bbe@Mark:6:52 @For it was not clear to them about the bread; but their hearts were hard.

bbe@Mark:6:55 @And went running through all the country round about, and took on their beds those who were ill, to where it was said that he was.

bbe@Mark:7:2 @And had seen that some of his disciples took their bread with unclean, that is, unwashed, hands.

bbe@Mark:7:3 @Now the Pharisees, and all the Jews, do not take food without washing their hands with care, keeping the old rule which has been handed down to them:

bbe@Mark:7:5 @And the Pharisees and the scribes put the question to him, Why do your disciples not keep the rules of the fathers, but take their bread with unwashed hands?

bbe@Mark:7:6 @And he said, Well did Isaiah say of you, you false ones: These people give me honour with their lips, but their heart is far from me.

bbe@Mark:7:11 @But you say, If a man says to his father or his mother, That by which you might have had profit from me is Corban, that is to say, Given to God,

bbe@Mark:7:18 @And he said to them, Have even you so little wisdom? Do you not see that whatever goes into a man from outside is not able to make him unclean,

bbe@Mark:7:19 @Because it goes not into the heart but into the stomach, and goes out with the waste? He said this, making all food clean.

bbe@Mark:7:22 @The taking of goods and of life, broken faith between husband and wife, the desire of wealth, wrongdoing, deceit, sins of the flesh, an evil eye, angry words, pride, foolish acts:

bbe@Mark:7:24 @And he went away from there to the country of Tyre and Sidon. And he went into a house, desiring that no man might have knowledge of it: and he was not able to keep it secret.

bbe@Mark:7:25 @But a woman, whose little daughter had an unclean spirit, having had news of him, came straight away and went down at his feet.

bbe@Mark:7:26 @Now the woman was a Greek, a Syro-phoenician by birth: and she made a request to him that he would send the evil spirit out of her daughter.

bbe@Mark:7:27 @And he said to her, Let the children first have their food: for it is not right to take the children's bread and give it to the dogs.

bbe@Mark:7:28 @But she said to him in answer, Yes, Lord: even the dogs under the table take the bits dropped by the children.

bbe@Mark:7:29 @And he said to her, For this saying go your way; the evil spirit has gone out of your daughter.

bbe@Mark:7:30 @And she went away to her house, and saw the child on the bed, and the evil spirit gone out.

bbe@Mark:7:32 @And they came to him with one who had no power of hearing and had trouble in talking; and they made a request to him to put his hands on him.

bbe@Mark:7:33 @And he took him on one side from the people privately, and put his fingers into his ears, and he put water from his mouth on the man's tongue with his finger;

bbe@Mark:7:36 @And he gave them orders not to give news of it to anyone; but the more he made this request, so much the more they made it public.

bbe@Mark:7:37 @And they were overcome with wonder, saying, He has done all things well: he even gives back the power of hearing and the power of talking to those who have been without them.

bbe@Mark:8:2 @I have pity for these people because they have been with me now three days, and have no food;

bbe@Mark:8:3 @If I send them away to their houses with no food, they will be overcome by weariness on the way; and some of them have come from far.

bbe@Mark:8:4 @And his disciples said in answer, How will it be possible to get enough bread for these men here in a waste place?

bbe@Mark:8:6 @And he made the people be seated on the earth: and he took the seven cakes and, having given praise, he gave the broken bread to his disciples to put before them; and they put it before the people.

bbe@Mark:8:8 @And they took the food, and had enough; and they took up seven baskets full of the broken bits.

bbe@Mark:8:10 @And he got into the boat with his disciples straight away, and came into the country of Dalmanutha.

bbe@Mark:8:12 @And he was very sad in spirit, and said, Why is this generation looking for a sign? truly, I say to you, No sign will be given to this generation.

bbe@Mark:8:14 @And they had taken no thought to get bread; and they had only one cake of bread with them in the boat.

bbe@Mark:8:17 @And Jesus, hearing it, said to them, Why are you reasoning among yourselves because you have no bread? do you still not see, and is it still not clear to you? are your hearts so hard?

bbe@Mark:8:19 @When I made a division of the five cakes of bread among the five thousand, what number of baskets full of broken bits did you take up? They said to him, Twelve.

bbe@Mark:8:20 @And when the seven among the four thousand, what number of baskets full of broken bits did you take up? And they said to him, Seven.

bbe@Mark:8:21 @And he said to them, Is it still not clear to you?

bbe@Mark:8:23 @And he took the blind man by the hand, and went with him out of the town; and when he had put water from his mouth on his eyes, and put his hands on him, he said, Do you see anything?

bbe@Mark:8:27 @And Jesus went out, with his disciples, into the little towns round Caesarea Philippi; and on the way he put a question to his disciples, saying, Who do men say that I am?

bbe@Mark:8:31 @And teaching them, he said that the Son of man would have to undergo much, and be hated by those in authority, and the chief priests, and the scribes, and be put to death, and after three days come back from the dead.

bbe@Mark:8:34 @And turning to the mass of people with his disciples, he said to them, If any man has the desire to come after me, let him give up all other desires, and take up his cross and come after me.

bbe@Mark:8:35 @Whoever has a desire to keep his life, will have it taken from him; and whoever gives up his life because of me and the good news, will keep it.

bbe@Mark:8:36 @What profit has a man if he gets all the world with the loss of his life?

bbe@Mark:8:38 @Whoever has a feeling of shame because of me and my words in this false and evil generation, the Son of man will have a feeling of shame because of him, when he comes in the glory of his Father with the holy angels.

bbe@Mark:9:1 @And he said to them, Truly I say to you, There are some here who will have no taste of death till they see the kingdom of God come with power.

bbe@Mark:9:2 @And after six days Jesus took with him Peter and James and John, and made them go up with him into a high mountain by themselves: and he was changed in form before them:

bbe@Mark:9:3 @And his clothing became shining, very white, as no cleaner on earth would make it.

bbe@Mark:9:4 @And there came before them Elijah with Moses, and they were talking with Jesus.

bbe@Mark:9:5 @And Peter said to Jesus, Master, it is good for us to be here: and let us make three tents; one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah.

bbe@Mark:9:8 @And suddenly looking round about, they saw no one any longer, but Jesus only with themselves.

bbe@Mark:9:12 @And he said to them, Truly, Elijah does come first, and puts all things in order; and how is it said in the Writings that the Son of man will go through much sorrow and be made as nothing?

bbe@Mark:9:13 @But I say to you that Elijah has come, and they have done to him whatever they were pleased to do, even as the Writings say about him.

bbe@Mark:9:17 @And one of the number said to him in answer, Master, I came to you with my son, who has in him a spirit which takes away his power of talking;

bbe@Mark:9:18 @And wherever it takes him, it puts him down violently, streaming at the lips and twisted with pain; and his strength goes from him; and I made a request to your disciples to send it out, and they were not able.

bbe@Mark:9:19 @And he said to them in answer, O generation without faith, how long will I have to be with you? how long will I put up with you? let him come to me.

bbe@Mark:9:20 @And they took him to him: and when he saw him, the spirit in him straight away became violent; and he went down on the earth, rolling about and streaming at the lips

bbe@Mark:9:22 @And frequently it has sent him into the fire and into the water, for his destruction; but if you are able to do anything, have pity on us, and give us help.

bbe@Mark:9:23 @And Jesus said to him, If you are able! All things are possible to him who has faith.

bbe@Mark:9:24 @Straight away the father of the child gave a cry, saying, I have faith; make my feeble faith stronger.

bbe@Mark:9:25 @And when Jesus saw that the people came running together, he gave orders to the unclean spirit, saying to him, You, spirit, who are the cause of his loss of voice and hearing, I say to you, come out of him, and never again go into him.

bbe@Mark:9:26 @And after crying out and shaking him violently, it came out: and the child became like one dead; so that most of them said, He is dead.

bbe@Mark:9:28 @And when he had gone into the house, his disciples said to him privately, Why were we unable to send it out?

bbe@Mark:9:30 @And they went out from there, through Galilee; and it was his desire that no man might have knowledge of it;

bbe@Mark:9:32 @But the saying was not clear to them, and they were in fear of questioning him about it.

bbe@Mark:9:36 @And he took a little child, and put him in the middle of them; and taking him in his arms, he said to them,

bbe@Mark:9:37 @Whoever will give honour to one such little child in my name, gives honour to me: and whoever gives honour to me, gives honour not to me, but to him who sent me.

bbe@Mark:9:38 @John said to him, Master, we saw one driving out evil spirits in your name: and we said that he might not, because he is not one of us.

bbe@Mark:9:41 @Whoever gives you a cup of water, because you are Christ's, truly I say to you, he will in no way be without his reward.

bbe@Mark:9:42 @And whoever is a cause of trouble to one of these little ones who have faith in me, it would be better for him if a great stone was put round his neck and he was dropped into the sea.

bbe@Mark:9:43 @And if your hand is a cause of trouble to you, let it be cut off; it is better for you to go into life with one hand than to have two hands and go into hell, into the eternal fire.

bbe@Mark:9:45 @And if your foot is a cause of trouble to you, let it be cut off: it is better for you to go into life with one foot than to have two feet and go into hell.

bbe@Mark:9:47 @And if your eye is a cause of trouble to you, take it out: it is better for you to go into the kingdom of God with one eye than, having two eyes, to go into hell,

bbe@Mark:9:49 @Everyone will be salted with fire.

bbe@Mark:9:50 @Salt is good; but if the taste goes from it, how will you make it salt again? Have salt in yourselves, and be at peace one with another.

bbe@Mark:10:2 @And Pharisees came to him, testing him with the question, Is it right for a man to put away his wife?

bbe@Mark:10:4 @And they said to him, Moses let us give her a statement in writing, and be free from her.

bbe@Mark:10:13 @And they took to him little children, so that he might put his hands on them: and the disciples said sharp words to them.

bbe@Mark:10:14 @And when Jesus saw it, he was angry, and said to them, Let the little children come to me, and do not keep them away; for of such is the kingdom of God.

bbe@Mark:10:15 @Truly I say to you, Whoever does not put himself under the kingdom of God like a little child, will not come into it at all.

bbe@Mark:10:19 @You have knowledge of what is said in the law, Do not put any one to death, Do not be untrue in married life, Do not take what is not yours, Do not give false witness, Do not get money by deceit, Give honour to your father and mother.

bbe@Mark:10:21 @And Jesus, looking on him and loving him, said, There is one thing needed: go, get money for your goods, and give it to the poor, and you will have wealth in heaven: and come with me.

bbe@Mark:10:23 @And Jesus, looking round about, said to his disciples, How hard it is for those who have wealth to come into the kingdom of God!

bbe@Mark:10:24 @And the disciples were full of wonder at his words. But Jesus said to them again, Children, how hard it is for those who put faith in wealth to come into the kingdom of God!

bbe@Mark:10:25 @It is simpler for a camel to go through a needle's eye, than for a man of wealth to come into the kingdom of God.

bbe@Mark:10:27 @Jesus, looking on them, said, With men it is impossible, but not with God: for all things are possible with God.

bbe@Mark:10:30 @Who will not get a hundred times as much now in this time, houses, and brothers, and sisters, and mothers, and children, and land--though with great troubles; and, in the world to come, eternal life.

bbe@Mark:10:40 @But to be seated at my right hand or at my left is not for me to give: but it is for those for whom it has been made ready.

bbe@Mark:10:41 @And hearing this, the ten became very angry with James and John.

bbe@Mark:10:42 @And Jesus made them come to him, and said to them, You see that those who are made rulers over the Gentiles are lords over them, and their great ones have authority over them.

bbe@Mark:10:43 @But it is not so among you: but whoever has a desire to become great among you, let him be your servant:

bbe@Mark:10:46 @And they came to Jericho: and when he was going out of Jericho, with his disciples and a great number of people, the son of Timaeus, Bartimaeus, a blind man, was seated by the wayside, with his hand out for money.

bbe@Mark:10:47 @And when it came to his ears that it was Jesus of Nazareth, he gave a cry, and said, Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me.

bbe@Mark:10:52 @And Jesus said to him, Go on your way; your faith has made you well. And straight away he was able to see, and went after him in the way.

bbe@Mark:11:2 @And said to them, Go into the little town opposite: and when you come to it, you will see a young ass with a cord round his neck, on which no man has ever been seated; let him loose, and come back with him.

bbe@Mark:11:11 @And he went into Jerusalem into the Temple; and after looking round about on all things, it being now evening, he went out to Bethany with the twelve

bbe@Mark:11:13 @And seeing a fig-tree in the distance with leaves, he went to see if by chance it had anything on it: and when he came to it, he saw nothing but leaves, for it was not the time for the fruit.

bbe@Mark:11:14 @And he said to it, Let no man take fruit from you for ever. And his disciples took note of his words.

bbe@Mark:11:17 @And he gave them teaching, and said to them, Is it not in the Writings, My house is to be named a house of prayer for all the nations? but you have made it a hole of thieves.

bbe@Mark:11:18 @And it came to the ears of the chief priests and scribes, and they took thought how they might put him to death; being in fear of him, because all the people were full of wonder at his teaching.

bbe@Mark:11:21 @And Peter, having a memory of it, said to him, Master, see, the tree which was cursed by you is dead.

bbe@Mark:11:22 @And Jesus, answering, said to them, Have God's faith.

bbe@Mark:11:23 @Truly I say to you, Whoever says to this mountain, Be taken up and be put into the sea; and has no doubt in his heart, but has faith that what he says will come about, he will have his desire.

bbe@Mark:11:24 @For this reason I say to you, Whatever you make a request for in prayer, have faith that it has been given to you, and you will have it.

bbe@Mark:11:27 @And they came again to Jerusalem: and while he was walking in the Temple, there came to him the chief priests and the scribes and those in authority:

bbe@Mark:11:28 @And they said to him, By what authority do you do these things? or who gave you authority to do these things?

bbe@Mark:11:29 @And Jesus said to them, I will put to you one question; give me an answer, and I will say by what authority I do these things.

bbe@Mark:11:30 @The baptism of John, was it from heaven or from men? give me an answer.

bbe@Mark:11:31 @And they gave thought to it among themselves, saying, If we say, From heaven; he will say, Why then did you not have faith in him?

bbe@Mark:11:33 @And they said in answer to Jesus, We have no idea. And Jesus said to them, And I will not say to you by what authority I do these things.

bbe@Mark:12:1 @And he gave them teaching in the form of stories. A man had a vine-garden planted, and put a wall about it, and made a place for crushing out the wine, and put up a tower, and let it out to field-workers, and went into another country.

bbe@Mark:12:2 @And when the time came, he sent a servant to get from the workmen some of the fruit of the garden.

bbe@Mark:12:3 @And they took him, and gave him blows, and sent him away with nothing.

bbe@Mark:12:7 @But those workmen said among themselves, This is he who will one day be the owner of the property; come, let us put him to death, and the heritage will be ours.

bbe@Mark:12:10 @Have you not seen this which is in the Writings: The stone which the builders put on one side, the same was made the chief stone of the building:

bbe@Mark:12:11 @This was the Lord's doing, and it is a wonder in our eyes?

bbe@Mark:12:14 @And when they had come, they said to him, Master, we are certain that you are true, and have no fear of anyone: you have no respect for a man's position, but you are teaching the true way of God: Is it right to give taxes to Caesar or not?

bbe@Mark:12:15 @Are we to give or not to give? But he, conscious of their false hearts, said to them, Why do you put me to the test? give me a penny, so that I may see it.

bbe@Mark:12:16 @And they gave him one. And he said to them, Whose is this image and name on it? And they said to him, Caesar's.

bbe@Mark:12:19 @Master, in the law Moses says, If a man's brother comes to his end, and has a wife still living and no child, it is right for his brother to take his wife, and get a family for his brother.

bbe@Mark:12:24 @Jesus said to them, Is not this the reason for your error, that you have no knowledge of the holy Writings or of the power of God?

bbe@Mark:12:30 @And you are to have love for the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind, and with all your strength.

bbe@Mark:12:33 @And to have love for him with all the heart, and with all the mind, and with all the strength, and to have the same love for his neighbour as for himself, is much more than all forms of offerings.

bbe@Mark:12:36 @David himself said in the Holy Spirit, The Lord said to my Lord, Be seated at my right hand, till I put those who are against you under your feet.

bbe@Mark:12:38 @And in his teaching he said, Be on your watch against the scribes, whose pleasure it is to go about in long robes and be respected in the market-places,

bbe@Mark:12:42 @And there came a poor widow, and she put in two little bits of money, which make a farthing.

bbe@Mark:13:3 @And while he was seated on the Mountain of Olives opposite the Temple, Peter and James and John and Andrew said to him privately,

bbe@Mark:13:7 @And when you have news of wars and talk of wars, do not be troubled; these things have to be, but it is still not the end.

bbe@Mark:13:8 @Nation will go to war with nation, and kingdom with kingdom: there will be earth-shocks in different places; there will be times when there is no food; these things are the first of the troubles.

bbe@Mark:13:11 @And when you are taken and given up to be judged, do not be troubled about what to say: but whatever is given to you in that hour, say: because it is not you who say it, but the Holy Spirit.

bbe@Mark:13:14 @But when you see the unclean thing which makes destruction, in the place where it has no right to be (let this be clear to the reader), then let those who are in Judaea go quickly to the mountains:

bbe@Mark:13:17 @And it will be hard for women who are with child and for her who has a baby at the breast in those days.

bbe@Mark:13:18 @And say a prayer that it may not be in the winter.

bbe@Mark:13:21 @And then if any man says to you, See, here is Christ; or, See, there; have no faith in it:

bbe@Mark:13:26 @And then they will see the Son of man coming in clouds with great power and glory.

bbe@Mark:13:28 @Take an example from the fig-tree: when its branches become soft and put out their leaves, you see that the summer is near;

bbe@Mark:13:33 @Take care, keep watch with prayer: for you are not certain when the time will be.

bbe@Mark:13:34 @It is as when a man who is in another country for a time, having gone away from his house, and given authority to his servants and to everyone his work, gives the porter an order to keep watch.

bbe@Mark:14:1 @It was now two days before the feast of the Passover and the unleavened bread: and the chief priests and the scribes made designs how they might take him by deceit and put him to death:

bbe@Mark:14:3 @And while he was in Bethany in the house of Simon the leper, seated at table, there came a woman with a bottle of perfumed oil of great price; and when the bottle was broken she put the perfume on his head.

bbe@Mark:14:5 @We might have got more than three hundred pence for it, and given the money to the poor. And they said things against her among themselves.

bbe@Mark:14:7 @The poor you have ever with you, and whenever you have the desire you may do them good: but me you have not for ever.

bbe@Mark:14:8 @She has done what she was able: she has put oil on my body to make it ready for its last resting-place.

bbe@Mark:14:13 @And he sent two of his disciples, and said to them, Go into the town, and there will come to you a man with a vessel of water: go after him;

bbe@Mark:14:14 @And wherever he goes in, say to the owner of the house, The Master says, Where is my guest-room, where I may take the Passover with my disciples?

bbe@Mark:14:15 @And he will take you up himself to a great room with a table and seats: there make ready for us.

bbe@Mark:14:16 @And the disciples went out and came into the town, and saw that it was as he had said: and they made ready the Passover.

bbe@Mark:14:17 @And when it was evening he came with the twelve

bbe@Mark:14:18 @And while they were seated taking food, Jesus said, Truly I say to you, One of you will be false to me, one who is taking food with me.

bbe@Mark:14:19 @They were sad, and said to him one by one, Is it I?

bbe@Mark:14:20 @And he said to them, It is one of the twelve, one who is putting his bread with me into the same plate.

bbe@Mark:14:21 @The Son of man goes, even as the Writings say of him: but cursed is that man through whom the Son of man is given up! It would have been well for that man if he had never been given birth.

bbe@Mark:14:22 @And while they were taking food, he took bread, and after blessing it, he gave the broken bread to them, and said, Take it: this is my body.

bbe@Mark:14:23 @And he took a cup, and when he had given praise, he gave it to them: and they all had a drink from it.

bbe@Mark:14:25 @Truly I say to you, I will take no more of the fruit of the vine till the day when I take it new in the kingdom of God.

bbe@Mark:14:27 @And Jesus said to them, You will all be turned away from me: for it is in the Writings, I will put the keeper of the sheep to death, and the sheep will be put to flight.

bbe@Mark:14:31 @But he said with passion, If I have to be put to death with you, I will not be false to you. And they all said the same.

bbe@Mark:14:33 @And he took with him Peter and James and John, and grief and great trouble came on him.

bbe@Mark:14:34 @And he said to them, My soul is very sad, even to death: be here a little time, and keep watch.

bbe@Mark:14:35 @And he went forward a little, and falling down on the earth, made request that, if possible, the hour might go from him.

bbe@Mark:14:38 @Keep watch with prayer, so that you may not be put to the test; the spirit truly is ready, but the flesh is feeble.

bbe@Mark:14:41 @And he came the third time, and said to them, Go on sleeping now and take your rest: it is enough; the hour has come; see, the Son of man is given up into the hands of evil men.

bbe@Mark:14:43 @And straight away, while he was still talking, Judas, one of the twelve, came, and with him a great band with swords and sticks, from the chief priests and the scribes and those in authority.

bbe@Mark:14:48 @And Jesus said to them, Have you come out as against a thief, with swords and sticks to take me?

bbe@Mark:14:49 @I was with you every day in the Temple teaching, and you did not take me; but this is done so that the Writings may come true.

bbe@Mark:14:51 @And a certain young man went after him, with only a linen cloth about his body; and they put their hands on him;

bbe@Mark:14:52 @But he got away unclothed, without the linen cloth.

bbe@Mark:14:53 @And they took Jesus away to the high priest; and there came together with him all the chief priests and those in authority and the scribes.

bbe@Mark:14:54 @And Peter had come after him at a distance, even into the house of the high priest; and he was seated with the captains, warming himself in the light of the fire.

bbe@Mark:14:55 @Now the chief priests and all the Sanhedrin were looking for witness against Jesus so that they might put him to death; and they were unable to get any.

bbe@Mark:14:56 @For a number gave false witness against him and their witness was not in agreement.

bbe@Mark:14:57 @Then some got up and gave false witness against him, saying,

bbe@Mark:14:58 @He said in our hearing, I will put an end to this Temple which is made with hands, and in three days I will make another without hands.

bbe@Mark:14:59 @And even so their witness was not in agreement.

bbe@Mark:14:60 @And the high priest got up in the middle of them, and said to Jesus, Do you say nothing in answer? what is it which these say against you?

bbe@Mark:14:62 @And Jesus said, I am: and you will see the Son of man seated at the right hand of power, and coming with the clouds of heaven.

bbe@Mark:14:63 @And the high priest, violently parting his robes, said, What more need have we of witnesses?

bbe@Mark:14:64 @His words against God have come to your ears: what is your opinion? And they all said it was right for him to be put to death.

bbe@Mark:14:65 @And some put shame on him and, covering his face, gave him blows and said to him, Now say what is to come: and the captains took him and gave him blows with their hands.

bbe@Mark:14:67 @And seeing Peter warming himself by the fire, she gave him a look, and said, You were with this Nazarene, even Jesus.

bbe@Mark:14:70 @But again he said it was not so. And after a little time, again those who were near said to Peter, Truly you are one of them; for you are a Galilaean.

bbe@Mark:14:71 @But, with curses and oaths, he said, I have no knowledge of the man about whom you are talking.

bbe@Mark:14:72 @And in the same minute, the cock gave a second cry. And it came to Peter's mind how Jesus had said to him, Before the cock's second cry, you will say three times that you have no knowledge of me. And at this thought he was overcome with weeping.

bbe@Mark:15:1 @And the first thing in the morning the chief priests, with those in authority and the scribes and all the Sanhedrin, had a meeting, and put cords round Jesus, and took him away, and gave him up to Pilate.

bbe@Mark:15:7 @And there was one named Barabbas, in prison with those who had gone against the government and in the fight had taken life.

bbe@Mark:15:9 @And Pilate said in answer to them, Is it your desire that I let the King of the Jews go free?

bbe@Mark:15:13 @And they said again loudly, To the cross with him!

bbe@Mark:15:17 @And they put a purple robe on him, and twisting a crown of thorns, they put it on him;

bbe@Mark:15:19 @And they gave him blows on the head with a stick and put shame on him and, going down on their knees, gave him worship

bbe@Mark:15:21 @And they made one, Simon of Cyrene, the father of Alexander and Rufus, who was going by, coming from the country, go with them, so that he might take his cross.

bbe@Mark:15:23 @And they gave him wine mixed with myrrh; but he did not take it.

bbe@Mark:15:25 @And it was the third hour when they put him on the cross.

bbe@Mark:15:26 @And the statement of his crime was put in writing on the cross, THE KING OF THE JEWS.

bbe@Mark:15:27 @And they put two thieves on crosses with him, one on his right side, and one on his left.

bbe@Mark:15:29 @And those who went by made sport of him, shaking their heads, and saying, Ha! you who give the Temple to destruction, and put it up again in three days,

bbe@Mark:15:31 @In the same way the chief priests, laughing at him among themselves with the scribes, said, A saviour of others, he has no salvation for himself.

bbe@Mark:15:32 @Let the Christ, the King of Israel, come down now from the cross, so that we may see and have belief. And those who were put on crosses with him said evil things against him.

bbe@Mark:15:33 @And when the sixth hour had come, it was dark over all the land till the ninth hour.

bbe@Mark:15:35 @And some of those who were near, hearing it, said, See, he is crying to Elijah.

bbe@Mark:15:36 @And one of them went quickly and, getting a sponge full of bitter wine, put it on a rod, and gave it to him for drink, saying, Let be; let us see if Elijah will come to take him down.

bbe@Mark:15:37 @And Jesus gave a loud cry, and gave up his spirit.

bbe@Mark:15:39 @And when the captain, who was near, saw how he gave up his spirit, he said, Truly this man was a son of God.

bbe@Mark:15:41 @Who went with him when he was in Galilee and took care of him; and a number of other women who came up with him to Jerusalem.

bbe@Mark:15:42 @And when it was evening, because it was the time of getting ready, that is, the day before the Sabbath,

bbe@Mark:15:43 @There came Joseph of Arimathaea, a responsible man in high honour, who was himself waiting for the kingdom of God; and he went in to Pilate without fear, and made a request for the body of Jesus.

bbe@Mark:15:45 @And when he had news of it from the captain, he let Joseph have the body.

bbe@Mark:16:4 @And looking up, they saw that the stone was rolled back; and it was of great size.

bbe@Mark:16:5 @And when they went in, they saw a young man seated on the right side, dressed in a white robe; and they were full of wonder.

bbe@Mark:16:9 @Now when he came back from the dead early on the first day of the week, he went first to Mary Magdalene, from whom he had sent out seven evil spirits.

bbe@Mark:16:10 @She went and gave news of it to those who had been with him, while they were sorrowing and weeping.

bbe@Mark:16:11 @And they, when it came to their ears that he was living, and had been seen by her, had no belief in it.

bbe@Mark:16:13 @And they went away and gave news of it to the rest; and they had no belief in what was said.

bbe@Mark:16:14 @And later he was seen by the eleven themselves while they were taking food; and he said sharp words to them because they had no faith and their hearts were hard, and because they had no belief in those who had seen him after he had come back from the dead.

bbe@Mark:16:16 @He who has faith and is given baptism will get salvation; but he who has not faith will be judged.

bbe@Mark:16:17 @And these signs will be with those who have faith: in my name they will send out evil spirits; and they will make use of new languages;

bbe@Mark:16:18 @They will take up snakes, and if there is poison in their drink, it will do them no evil; they will put their hands on those who are ill, and they will get well.

bbe@Mark:16:20 @And they went out, preaching everywhere, the Lord working with them, and giving witness to the word by the signs which came after. So be it.

bbe@Luke:1:3 @It seemed good to me, having made observation, with great care, of the direction of events in their order, to put the facts in writing for you, most noble Theophilus;

bbe@Luke:1:7 @And they were without children, because Elisabeth had never given birth, and they were at that time very old.

bbe@Luke:1:8 @Now it came about that in his turn he was acting as priest before God,

bbe@Luke:1:15 @For he will be great in the eyes of the Lord; he will not take wine or strong drink; and he will be full of the Spirit of God from his birth.

bbe@Luke:1:17 @And he will go before his face in the spirit and power of Elijah, turning the hearts of fathers to their children, and wrongdoers to the way of righteousness; to make ready a people whose hearts have been turned to the Lord.

bbe@Luke:1:20 @Now, see, you will be without voice or language till the day when these things come about, because you had not faith in my words, which will have effect at the right time.

bbe@Luke:1:21 @And the people were waiting for Zacharias and were surprised because he was in the Temple for such a long time.

bbe@Luke:1:22 @And when he came out he was not able to say anything, and they saw that he had seen a vision in the Temple; and he was making signs to them without words.

bbe@Luke:1:28 @And the angel came in to her and said, Peace be with you, to whom special grace has been given; the Lord is with you.

bbe@Luke:1:35 @And the angel in answer said to her, The Holy Spirit will come on you, and the power of the Most High will come to rest on you, and so that which will come to birth will be named holy, Son of God.

bbe@Luke:1:36 @Even now Elisabeth, who is of your family, is to be a mother, though she is old: and this is the sixth month with her who was without children.

bbe@Luke:1:38 @And Mary said: I am the servant of the Lord; may it be to me as you say. And the angel went away.

bbe@Luke:1:41 @And when the voice of Mary came to the ears of Elisabeth, the baby made a sudden move inside her; then Elisabeth was full of the Holy Spirit,

bbe@Luke:1:42 @And she said with a loud voice: May blessing be on you among women, and a blessing on the child of your body.

bbe@Luke:1:43 @How is it that the mother of my Lord comes to me?

bbe@Luke:1:45 @Happy will she be who had faith that the things which the Lord has said to her will be done.

bbe@Luke:1:47 @My spirit is glad in God my Saviour.

bbe@Luke:1:48 @For he has had pity on his servant, though she is poor and lowly placed: and from this hour will all generations give witness to the blessing which has come to me.

bbe@Luke:1:51 @With his arm he has done acts of power; he has put to flight those who have pride in their hearts.

bbe@Luke:1:53 @Those who had no food he made full of good things; the men of wealth he sent away with nothing in their hands;

bbe@Luke:1:56 @And Mary was with her for about three months and then went back to her house.

bbe@Luke:1:57 @Now it was time for Elisabeth to give birth, and she had a son.

bbe@Luke:1:58 @And it came to the ears of her neighbours and relations that the Lord had been very good to her, and they took part in her joy.

bbe@Luke:1:63 @And he sent for writing materials and put down: His name is John; and they were all surprised.

bbe@Luke:1:66 @And all who had word of them kept them in their minds and said, What will this child be? For the hand of the Lord was with him.

bbe@Luke:1:67 @And his father, Zacharias, was full of the Holy Spirit, and with the voice of a prophet said these words:

bbe@Luke:1:80 @And the child became tall, and strong in spirit; and he was living in the waste land till the day when he came before the eyes of Israel.

bbe@Luke:2:1 @Now it came about in those days that an order went out from Caesar Augustus that there was to be a numbering of all the world.

bbe@Luke:2:5 @To be put on the list with Mary, his future wife, who was about to become a mother.

bbe@Luke:2:13 @And suddenly there was with the angel a great band of spirits from heaven, giving praise to God, and saying,

bbe@Luke:2:14 @Glory to God in the highest, and on the earth peace among men with whom he is well pleased.

bbe@Luke:2:17 @And when they saw it, they gave them an account of the things which had been said to them about the child.

bbe@Luke:2:18 @And all those to whose ears it came were full of wonder at the things said by the keepers of the sheep.

bbe@Luke:2:20 @Then the keepers of the sheep went back, giving glory and praise to God for all the things which had come to their ears and which they had seen, as it had been said to them.

bbe@Luke:2:23 @(As it says in the law of the Lord, Every mother's first male child is to be holy to the Lord),

bbe@Luke:2:24 @And to make an offering, as it is ordered in the law of the Lord, of two doves or other young birds.

bbe@Luke:2:25 @And there was then in Jerusalem a man whose name was Simeon; and he was an upright man, fearing God and waiting for the comfort of Israel: and the Holy Spirit was on him.

bbe@Luke:2:26 @And he had knowledge, through the Holy Spirit, that he would not see death till he had seen the Lord's Christ.

bbe@Luke:2:27 @And full of the Spirit he came into the Temple; and when the father and mother came in with the child Jesus, to do with him what was ordered by the law,

bbe@Luke:2:37 @She had been a widow for eighty-four years); she was in the Temple at all times, worshipping with prayers and going without food, night and day.

bbe@Luke:2:38 @And coming up at that time, she gave praise to God, talking of him to all those who were waiting for the freeing of Jerusalem.

bbe@Luke:2:43 @And when the days of the feast came to an end and they were going back, the boy Jesus was still in Jerusalem, but they had no knowledge of it:

bbe@Luke:2:44 @And in the belief that he was with some of their number, they went a day's journey; and after looking for him among their relations and friends,

bbe@Luke:2:47 @And all to whose ears it came were full of wonder at his knowledge and the answers which he gave.

bbe@Luke:2:48 @And when they saw him they were surprised, and his mother said to him, Son, why have you done this to us? see, your father and I have been looking for you with sorrow.

bbe@Luke:2:49 @And he said to them, Why were you looking for me? was it not clear to you that my right place was in my Father's house?

bbe@Luke:2:51 @And he went down with them and came to Nazareth; and did as he was ordered: and his mother kept all these words in her heart.

bbe@Luke:3:1 @Now in the fifteenth year of the rule of Tiberius Caesar, Pontius Pilate being ruler of Judaea, and Herod being king of Galilee, his brother Philip king of the country of Ituraea and Trachonitis, and Lysanias king of Abilene,

bbe@Luke:3:4 @As it says in the book of the words of Isaiah the prophet, The voice of one crying in the waste land, Make ready the way of the Lord, make his roads straight.

bbe@Luke:3:9 @And even now the axe is put to the root of the trees; and every tree which does not have good fruit will be cut down and put into the fire.

bbe@Luke:3:14 @And men of the army put questions to him, saying, And what have we to do? And he said to them, Do no violent acts to any man, and do not take anything without right, and let your payment be enough for you.

bbe@Luke:3:15 @And while the people were waiting, and all men were questioning in their hearts about John, if he was the Christ or not,

bbe@Luke:3:16 @John made answer, saying to them all, Truly, I give you baptism with water, but one is coming who is greater than I, whose shoes I am not good enough to undo: he will give you baptism with the Holy Spirit, and with fire:

bbe@Luke:3:17 @In whose hand is the instrument with which he will make clean his grain; he will put the good grain in his store, but the waste will be burned in the fire which will never be put out.

bbe@Luke:3:18 @And so comforting them with these and other words, he gave the good news to the people;

bbe@Luke:3:21 @Now it came about that when all the people had been given baptism, Jesus, having had baptism with them, was in prayer, when, the heaven being open,

bbe@Luke:3:22 @The Holy Spirit came down in the form of a dove, and a voice came from heaven, saying, You are my dearly loved Son, with whom I am well pleased.

bbe@Luke:3:23 @And Jesus at this time was about thirty years old, being the son (as it seemed) of Joseph, the son of Heli,

bbe@Luke:4:1 @And Jesus, full of the Holy Spirit, came back from the Jordan, and was guided by the Spirit in the waste land

bbe@Luke:4:4 @And Jesus made answer to him, It has been said in the Writings, Bread is not man's only need.

bbe@Luke:4:6 @And the Evil One said, I will give you authority over all these, and the glory of them, for it has been given to me, and I give it to anyone at my pleasure.

bbe@Luke:4:7 @If then you will give worship to me, it will all be yours.

bbe@Luke:4:8 @And Jesus in answer said to him, It has been said in the Writings, Give worship to the Lord your God, and be his servant only.

bbe@Luke:4:9 @And he took him to Jerusalem and put him on the highest point of the Temple and said to him, If you are the Son of God, let yourself go down from here; for it is said in the Writings,

bbe@Luke:4:12 @And Jesus made answer and said to him, It is said in the Writings, You may not put the Lord your God to the test.

bbe@Luke:4:14 @And Jesus came back to Galilee in the power of the Spirit, and the news of him went through all the country round about.

bbe@Luke:4:17 @And the book of the prophet Isaiah was given to him and, opening the book, he came on the place where it is said,

bbe@Luke:4:18 @The Spirit of the Lord is on me, because I am marked out by him to give good news to the poor; he has sent me to make well those who are broken-hearted; to say that the prisoners will be let go, and the blind will see, and to make the wounded free from their chains,

bbe@Luke:4:20 @And shutting the book he gave it back to the servant and took his seat: and the eyes of all in the Synagogue were fixed on him.

bbe@Luke:4:22 @And they were all giving witness, with wonder, to the words of grace which came from his mouth: and they said, Is not this the son of Joseph?

bbe@Luke:4:23 @And he said to them, Without doubt you will say to me, Let the medical man make himself well: the things which to our knowledge were done at Capernaum, do them here in your country.

bbe@Luke:4:32 @And they were surprised at his teaching, for his word was with authority.

bbe@Luke:4:33 @And there was a man in the Synagogue who had an unclean spirit; and he gave a loud cry and said,

bbe@Luke:4:34 @Let us be! what have we to do with you, Jesus of Nazareth? have you come to put an end to us? I have knowledge who you are, the Holy One of God.

bbe@Luke:4:35 @And Jesus said to him, Be quiet, and come out of him. And when the evil spirit had put him down on the earth in the middle of them, he came out of him, having done him no damage.

bbe@Luke:4:36 @And wonder came on them all and they said to one another, What are these words? for with authority and power he gives orders to the evil spirits and they come out.

bbe@Luke:4:38 @And he got up and went out of the Synagogue and went into the house of Simon. And Simon's wife's mother was very ill with a burning heat; and in answer to their prayers for her

bbe@Luke:4:39 @He went near her, and with a sharp word he gave orders to the disease and it went away from her; and straight away she got up and took care of their needs.

bbe@Luke:4:40 @And at sundown all those who had anyone ill with any sort of disease, took them to him, and he put his hands on every one of them and made them well.

bbe@Luke:4:41 @And evil spirits came out of a number of them, crying out and saying, You are the Son of God. But he gave them sharp orders not to say a word, because they had knowledge that he was the Christ.

bbe@Luke:4:42 @And when it was day, he came out and went to a waste place; and great numbers of people came looking for him, and they came to him and would have kept him from going away.

bbe@Luke:5:1 @Now it came about that while the people came pushing to be near him, and to have knowledge of the word of God, he was by a wide stretch of water named Gennesaret;

bbe@Luke:5:3 @And he got into one of the boats, the property of Simon, and made a request to him to go a little way out from the land. And being seated he gave the people teaching from the boat.

bbe@Luke:5:6 @And when they had done this, they got such a great number of fish that it seemed as if their nets would be broken;

bbe@Luke:5:8 @But Simon, when he saw it, went down at the knees of Jesus and said, Go away from me, O Lord, for I am a sinner.

bbe@Luke:5:9 @For he was full of wonder and so were all those who were with him, at the number of fish which they had taken;

bbe@Luke:5:10 @And so were James and John, the sons of Zebedee, who were working with Simon. And Jesus said to Simon, Have no fear; from this time forward you will be a fisher of men.

bbe@Luke:5:12 @And it came about that while he was in one of the towns, there was a leper there: and when he saw Jesus he went down on his face in prayer to him, saying, Lord, if it is your pleasure, you have power to make me clean

bbe@Luke:5:13 @And he put out his hand to him and said, It is my pleasure; be clean. And straight away his disease went from him.

bbe@Luke:5:14 @And he gave him orders: Say nothing to any man, but let the priest see you and give an offering so that you may be made clean, as the law of Moses says, and for a witness to them.

bbe@Luke:5:17 @And it came about that on one of these days he was teaching; and some Pharisees and teachers of the law were seated there, who had come from every town of Galilee and Judaea and from Jerusalem; and the power of the Lord was with him, to make those who were ill free from their diseases.

bbe@Luke:5:18 @And some men had with them, on a bed, a man who was ill, without power of moving; and they made attempts to get him in and put him before Jesus.

bbe@Luke:5:20 @And seeing their faith he said, Man, you have forgiveness for your sins.

bbe@Luke:5:24 @But so that you may see that on earth the Son of man has authority for the forgiveness of sins, (he said to the man who was ill,) I say to you, Get up, and take up your bed, and go into your house.

bbe@Luke:5:29 @And Levi made a great feast for him in his house: and a great number of tax-farmers and others were seated at table with them.

bbe@Luke:5:30 @And the Pharisees and their scribes made protests against his disciples, saying, Why do you take food and drink with tax-farmers and sinners?

bbe@Luke:5:33 @And they said to him, The disciples of John frequently go without food, and make prayers, and so do the disciples of the Pharisees; but your disciples take food and drink.

bbe@Luke:5:34 @And Jesus said, Are you able to make the friends of the newly-married man go without food when he is with them?

bbe@Luke:5:35 @But the days will come when he will be taken away from them, and then they will go without food.

bbe@Luke:5:36 @And he said to them, in a story, No man takes a bit of cloth from a new coat and puts it on to an old coat, for so the new coat would be damaged and the bit from the new would not go well with the old.

bbe@Luke:6:1 @Now it came about that on the Sabbath he was going through the fields of grain, and his disciples took the heads of the grain for food, crushing them in their hands.

bbe@Luke:6:2 @But some of the Pharisees said, Why do you do what it is not right to do on the Sabbath?

bbe@Luke:6:3 @And Jesus said, Have you not seen in the Writings what David did when he was in need of food, he, and those who were with him;

bbe@Luke:6:4 @How he went into the house of God and took for food the holy bread, which only the priests may take, and gave it to those who were with him?

bbe@Luke:6:6 @And it came about, on another Sabbath, that he went into the Synagogue and was teaching there. And a man was there whose right hand was dead.

bbe@Luke:6:9 @And Jesus said, I put the question to you, Is it right to do good on the Sabbath or to do evil? to give life or to take it away?

bbe@Luke:6:12 @And it came about in those days that he went out to the mountain for prayer; and he was all night in prayer to God.

bbe@Luke:6:17 @And he came down with them to a level place, and a great band of his disciples, and a very great number of people from all Judaea and Jerusalem and from the parts of Tyre and Sidon by the sea, came to give hearing to him, and to be made well from their diseases;

bbe@Luke:6:18 @And those who were troubled with unclean spirits were made well.

bbe@Luke:6:30 @Give to everyone who comes with a request, and if a man takes away your property, make no attempt to get it back again.

bbe@Luke:6:32 @If you have love for those who have love for you, what credit is it to you? for even sinners have love for those who have love for them.

bbe@Luke:6:33 @And if you do good to those who do good to you, what credit is it to you? for even sinners do the same.

bbe@Luke:6:34 @And if you let those have the use of your money, from whom you are hoping to get it back, what credit is it to you? even sinners do so to sinners, hoping to get back as much as they gave.

bbe@Luke:6:36 @Be full of pity, even as your Father is full of pity.

bbe@Luke:6:38 @Give, and it will be given to you; good measure, crushed down, full and running over, they will give to you. For in the same measure as you give, it will be given to you again.

bbe@Luke:6:39 @And he gave them teaching in the form of a story, saying, Is it possible for one blind man to be guide to another? will they not go falling together into a hole?

bbe@Luke:6:41 @And why do you take note of the grain of dust in your brother's eye, but take no note of the bit of wood which is in your eye?

bbe@Luke:6:42 @How will you say to your brother, Brother, let me take the grain of dust out of your eye, when you yourself do not see the bit of wood in your eye? O false one! first take the wood out of your eye and then you will see clearly to take the dust out of your brother's eye.

bbe@Luke:6:43 @For no good tree gives bad fruit, and no bad tree gives good fruit.

bbe@Luke:6:44 @For every tree is judged by its fruit. Men do not get figs from thorns, or grapes from blackberry plants.

bbe@Luke:6:48 @He is like a man building a house, who went deep and put the base of it on a rock; and when the water came up and the river was driving against that house, it was not moved, because the building was good.

bbe@Luke:6:49 @But he who gives hearing, without doing, is like a man building a house on the earth without a base for it; and when the force of the river came against it, straight away it came down; and the destruction of that house was great.

bbe@Luke:7:5 @It is right for you to do this for him, because he is a friend to our nation, and himself has put up a Synagogue for us.

bbe@Luke:7:6 @And Jesus went with them. And when he was not far from the house, the man sent friends to him, saying, Lord, do not give yourself trouble: for I am not important enough for you to come into my house:

bbe@Luke:7:8 @For I, myself, am a man under authority, having men under me; and I say to this one, Go, and he goes; and to another, Come, and he comes; and to my servant, Do this, and he does it.

bbe@Luke:7:9 @And when these things were said to Jesus, he was surprised, and, turning to the mass of people coming after him, said, I have not seen such great faith, no, not in Israel.

bbe@Luke:7:11 @And it came about, after a little time, that he went to a town named Nain; and his disciples went with him, and a great number of people.

bbe@Luke:7:12 @Now when he came near the door of the town, a dead man was being taken out, the only son of his mother, who was a widow: and a great number of people from the town were with her.

bbe@Luke:7:13 @And when the Lord saw her, he had pity on her and said to her, Be not sad.

bbe@Luke:7:14 @And he came near, and put his hand on the stretcher where the dead man was: and those who were moving it came to a stop. And he said, Young man, I say to you, Get up.

bbe@Luke:7:19 @Then John sent two of his disciples to the Lord, saying, Are you he who is to come, or are we waiting for another?

bbe@Luke:7:20 @And when the men came to him they said, John the Baptist has sent us to you, saying, Are you he who is to come, or are we waiting for another?

bbe@Luke:7:21 @At that time, he made a number of people free from their diseases and their pains, and from evil spirits; and to others who were blind he gave back the use of their eyes.

bbe@Luke:7:27 @This is he of whom it has been said, See, I send my servant before your face, who will make ready your way before you.

bbe@Luke:7:33 @For John the Baptist came, taking no food or drink, and you say, He has an evil spirit.

bbe@Luke:7:36 @And one of the Pharisees made a request that he would take a meal with him. And he went into the Pharisee's house and took his seat at the table.

bbe@Luke:7:38 @And went in and took her place at the back of him, near his feet, weeping, so that his feet were washed with the drops from her eyes, and with her hair she made them dry, and kissing his feet she put the perfume on them.

bbe@Luke:7:39 @Now when the Pharisee in whose house he was saw it, he said to himself, This man, if he was a prophet, would be conscious what sort of woman this is who has put her hands on him, that she is a sinner.

bbe@Luke:7:43 @Simon, in answer, said, It seems he whose debt was greater. And he said, Your decision is right.

bbe@Luke:7:44 @And turning to the woman he said to Simon, You see this woman? I came into your house; you did not give me water for my feet: but she has been washing my feet with the drops from her eyes, and drying them with her hair.

bbe@Luke:7:47 @And so I say to you, She will have forgiveness for her sins which are great in number, because of her great love: but he who has small need of forgiveness gives little love.

bbe@Luke:7:49 @And those who were seated at table with him said to themselves, Who is this who even gives forgiveness of sins?

bbe@Luke:7:50 @And he said to the woman, By your faith you have salvation; go in peace.

bbe@Luke:8:1 @And it came about, after a short time, that he went through town and country giving the good news of the kingdom of God, and with him were the twelve,

bbe@Luke:8:2 @And certain women who had been made free from evil spirits and diseases, Mary named Magdalene, from whom seven evil spirits had gone out,

bbe@Luke:8:5 @A man went out to put in seed, and while he was doing it, some was dropped by the wayside and it was crushed under foot, and was taken by the birds of heaven.

bbe@Luke:8:6 @And some went on the rock, and when it came up it became dry and dead because it had no water.

bbe@Luke:8:7 @And some went among thorns, and the thorns came up with it and it had no room for growth.

bbe@Luke:8:8 @And some falling on good earth, came up and gave fruit a hundred times as much. And with these words he said in a loud voice, He who has ears, let him give ear.

bbe@Luke:8:12 @Those by the side of the road are those who have given hearing; then the Evil One comes and takes away the word from their hearts, so that they may not have faith and get salvation.

bbe@Luke:8:13 @And those on the rock are those who with joy give hearing to the word; but having no root, they have faith for a time, and when the test comes they give up.

bbe@Luke:8:14 @And those which went among thorns are those who have given hearing, and go on their way, but they are overcome by cares and wealth and the pleasures of life, and they give no fruit.

bbe@Luke:8:15 @And those in the good earth are those who, having given ear to the word, keep it with a good and true heart, and in quiet strength give fruit.

bbe@Luke:8:16 @No man, when the light is lighted, puts a cover over it, or puts it under a bed, but he puts it on its table, so that those who come in may see the light.

bbe@Luke:8:21 @But he said to them in answer, My mother and my brothers are those who have knowledge of the word of God and do it.

bbe@Luke:8:22 @Now it came about on one of those days that he got into a boat with his disciples; and he said to them, Let us go over to the other side of the water: and they put out the boat.

bbe@Luke:8:25 @And he said to them, Where is your faith? And fear and wonder overcame them, and they said to one another, Who then is this, who gives orders even to the winds and the water and they do what he says?

bbe@Luke:8:26 @And they came to the country of the Gerasenes, which is opposite Galilee.

bbe@Luke:8:27 @And when he had come to the land, there came to him a certain man from the town who had evil spirits; and for a long time he had had no clothing on, and was not living in a house but in the place of the dead.

bbe@Luke:8:28 @And when he saw Jesus, he gave a loud cry and went down on the earth before him and in a loud voice said, What have I to do with you, Jesus, Son of the Most High God? Do not be cruel to me.

bbe@Luke:8:29 @For he gave an order to the evil spirit to come out of the man. For frequently it would take a grip of him: and he was kept under control, and prisoned with chains; but parting the chains in two, he would be sent by the driving of the evil spirit into waste places.

bbe@Luke:8:30 @And Jesus said to him, What is your name? And he said, Legion; for a number of spirits had gone into him.

bbe@Luke:8:32 @Now there was a great herd of pigs in that place, getting food on the mountain: and the evil spirits made a request to him that he would let them go into the pigs, and he let them.

bbe@Luke:8:33 @And the evil spirits came out of the man and went into the pigs: and the herd went rushing down a sharp slope into the water and came to destruction.

bbe@Luke:8:34 @And when the men who took care of them saw what had come about, they went quickly and gave news of it in the town and the country.

bbe@Luke:8:35 @And they went out to see what had taken place, and they came to Jesus and saw the man out of whom the evil spirits had gone, seated, clothed and with full use of his senses, at the feet of Jesus; and fear came on them.

bbe@Luke:8:36 @And those who had seen it gave them an account of how the man who had the evil spirits was made well.

bbe@Luke:8:38 @But the man from whom the evil spirits had gone out had a great desire to be with him, but he sent him away, saying,

bbe@Luke:8:40 @And when Jesus went back, the people were glad to see him, for they were all waiting for him.

bbe@Luke:8:45 @And Jesus said, Who was touching me? And when they all said, It is not I, Peter and those who were with him said, Master, the people are pushing round you on every side.

bbe@Luke:8:47 @And when the woman saw that she was not able to keep it secret, she came, shaking with fear, and falling down before him she made clear before all the people the reason for her touching him, and how she was made well straight away.

bbe@Luke:8:48 @And he said to her, Daughter, your faith has made you well; go in peace.

bbe@Luke:8:50 @But Jesus at these words said to him, Have no fear, only have faith, and she will be made well.

bbe@Luke:8:51 @And when he came to the house he did not let any man go in with him, but only Peter and John and James, and the father of the girl and her mother.

bbe@Luke:8:55 @And her spirit came back to her and she got up straight away: and he gave orders that food was to be given to her.

bbe@Luke:8:56 @And her father and mother were full of wonder, but he gave orders to them to say nothing about it to anyone.

bbe@Luke:9:1 @And getting the twelve together, he gave them power and authority over all evil spirits and over diseases, to make them well.

bbe@Luke:9:5 @And if any people will not take you in, when you go away from that town, put off its dust from your feet for a witness against them.

bbe@Luke:9:7 @Now Herod the king had news of all these things: and he was in doubt, because it was said by some people that John had come back from the dead;

bbe@Luke:9:10 @And the twelve, when they came back, gave him an account of what they had done. And he took them with him and went away from the people to a town named Beth-saida.

bbe@Luke:9:11 @But the people, getting news of it, went after him: and he was pleased to see them, and gave them teaching about the kingdom of God, and made those well who were in need of it.

bbe@Luke:9:17 @And they all took the food and had enough; and they took up of the broken bits which were over, twelve baskets full.

bbe@Luke:9:18 @And it came about that when he was in prayer, by himself, and the disciples were with him, he put a question to them, saying, Who do the people say I am?

bbe@Luke:9:24 @For whoever has a desire to keep his life will have it taken from him, but whoever gives up his life because of me, will keep it.

bbe@Luke:9:25 @For what profit will a man have if he gets all the world, but undergoes loss or destruction himself?

bbe@Luke:9:28 @And about eight days after he had said these things, he took Peter and John and James with him and went up into the mountain for prayer.

bbe@Luke:9:29 @And while he was in prayer, his face was changed and his clothing became white and shining.

bbe@Luke:9:30 @And two men, Moses and Elijah, were talking with him;

bbe@Luke:9:32 @Now Peter and those who were with him were overcome with sleep: but when they were fully awake, they saw his glory and the two men who were with him.

bbe@Luke:9:33 @And when they were about to go away from him, Peter said to Jesus, Master, it is good for us to be here; let us make three tents, one for you and one for Moses and one for Elijah: having no knowledge of what he was saying.

bbe@Luke:9:39 @And see, a spirit takes him, and suddenly he gives a cry, twisted in pain and streaming at the lips, and when it goes away from him at last, he is marked as from blows.

bbe@Luke:9:40 @And I made a request to your disciples to send it out of him, but they were not able to do it.

bbe@Luke:9:41 @And Jesus said, O generation without faith and false in heart, how long will I have to be with you and put up with you? let your son come here.

bbe@Luke:9:42 @And while he was coming, he was pushed violently down and twisted by the evil spirit. But Jesus gave sharp orders to the unclean spirit, and made the boy well, and gave him back to his father.

bbe@Luke:9:45 @But this saying was not clear to them and its sense was kept secret from them so that they were not able to see it: and they had fear of questioning him about it.

bbe@Luke:9:49 @And John, answering, said, Master, we saw a man driving out evil spirits in your name, and we did not let him do it, because he was not one of us.

bbe@Luke:9:50 @But Jesus said to him, Let him do it, for he who is not against you is for you.

bbe@Luke:9:51 @And it came about that when the days were near for him to be taken up, his face was turned to go to Jerusalem,

bbe@Luke:9:60 @But he said to him, Let the dead take care of their dead; it is for you to go and give news of the kingdom of God.

bbe@Luke:9:61 @And another man said, I will come with you, Lord, but first let me say a last good-day to those who are at my house.

bbe@Luke:10:6 @And if a son of peace is there, your peace will be with him: but if not, it will come back to you again.

bbe@Luke:10:9 @And make well those in it who are ill and say to them, The kingdom of God is near to you

bbe@Luke:10:10 @But if you go into a town where they will not have you, go out into the streets of it and say,

bbe@Luke:10:11 @Even the dust of your town, which is on our feet, we put off as a witness against you; but be certain of this, that the kingdom of God is near.

bbe@Luke:10:12 @I say to you, It will be better in that day for Sodom than for that town.

bbe@Luke:10:14 @But it will be better for Tyre and Sidon, in the day of judging, than for you.

bbe@Luke:10:17 @And the seventy came back with joy, saying, Lord, even the evil spirits are under our power in your name.

bbe@Luke:10:20 @Do not be glad, however, because you have power over spirits, but because your names are recorded in heaven.

bbe@Luke:10:21 @In that same hour he was full of joy in the Holy Spirit and said, I give praise to you, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because you have kept these things secret from the wise and the men of learning, and have made them clear to little children: for so, O Father, it was pleasing in your eyes.

bbe@Luke:10:22 @All things have been given to me by my Father: and no one has knowledge of the Son, but only the Father: and of the Father, but only the Son, and he to whom the Son will make it clear.

bbe@Luke:10:24 @For I say to you that numbers of prophets and kings have had a desire to see the things which you see, and have not seen them, and to have knowledge of the things which have come to your ears, and they had it not.

bbe@Luke:10:26 @And he said to him, What does the law say, in your reading of it?

bbe@Luke:10:27 @And he, answering, said, Have love for the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength and with all your mind; and for your neighbour as for yourself.

bbe@Luke:10:32 @And in the same way, a Levite, when he came to the place and saw him, went by on the other side.

bbe@Luke:10:33 @But a certain man of Samaria, journeying that way, came where he was, and when he saw him, he was moved with pity for him,

bbe@Luke:10:34 @And came to him and put clean linen round his wounds, with oil and wine; and he put him on his beast and took him to a house and took care of him.

bbe@Luke:10:40 @But Martha had her hands full of the work of the house, and she came to him and said, Lord, is it nothing to you that my sister has let me do all the work? Say to her that she is to give me some help.

bbe@Luke:10:42 @Little is needed, or even one thing only: for Mary has taken that good part, which will not be taken away from her.

bbe@Luke:11:1 @And it came about that he was in prayer in a certain place, and when he came to an end, one of his disciples said to him, Lord, will you give us teaching about prayer, as John did to his disciples?

bbe@Luke:11:7 @And he, from inside the house, would say in answer, Do not be a trouble to me; the door is now shut, and my children are with me in bed; it is not possible for me to get up and give to you?

bbe@Luke:11:10 @For to everyone who makes a request, it will be given; and he who is searching will get his desire; and to him who gives the sign, the door will be open.

bbe@Luke:11:13 @If, then, you who are evil are able to give good things to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give the Holy Spirit to those who make request to him?

bbe@Luke:11:14 @And he was sending an evil spirit out of a man who was without the power of talking. And it came about that when the spirit had gone the man had the power of talking; and the people were full of wonder.

bbe@Luke:11:15 @But some of them said, He sends out evil spirits by Beelzebul, the ruler of evil spirits.

bbe@Luke:11:18 @If, then, Satan is at war with himself, how will he keep his kingdom? because you say that I send evil spirits out of men by the help of Beelzebul.

bbe@Luke:11:19 @And if I, by Beelzebul, send out evil spirits, by whose help do your sons send them out? so let them be your judges.

bbe@Luke:11:20 @But if I, by the finger of God, send out evil spirits, then the kingdom of God has overtaken you.

bbe@Luke:11:22 @But when one who is stronger makes an attack on him and overcomes him, he takes away his instruments of war, in which he had put his faith, and makes division of his goods.

bbe@Luke:11:23 @He who is not with me is against me, and he who will not give me help in getting people together is driving them away.

bbe@Luke:11:24 @The unclean spirit, when he has gone out of a man, goes through dry places, looking for rest; and when he does not get it, he says, I will go back to my house from which I came.

bbe@Luke:11:25 @And when he comes, he sees that it has been made fair and clean.

bbe@Luke:11:26 @Then he goes and gets seven other spirits more evil than himself, and they go in, and take their places there: and the last condition of that man is worse than the first.

bbe@Luke:11:27 @And it came about that when he said these things, a certain woman among the people said in a loud voice, Happy is the body which gave you birth, and the breasts from which you took milk.

bbe@Luke:11:28 @But he said, More happy are they who give hearing to the word of God and keep it.

bbe@Luke:11:29 @And when a great number of people came together to him, he said, This generation is an evil generation: it is looking for a sign and no sign will be given to it but the sign of Jonah.

bbe@Luke:11:30 @For even as Jonah became a sign to the Ninevites, so will the Son of man be to this generation.

bbe@Luke:11:33 @No man, when the light has been lighted, puts it in a secret place, or under a vessel, but on its table, so that those who come in may see the light.

bbe@Luke:11:34 @The light of the body is the eye: when your eye is true, all your body is full of light; but when it is evil, your body is dark.

bbe@Luke:11:36 @If, then, all your body is light, with no part of it dark, it will be completely full of light, as when a flame with its bright shining gives you light.

bbe@Luke:11:37 @Now, while he was talking, a Pharisee made a request that he would come to a meal with him; and he went in and took his seat at the meal.

bbe@Luke:11:38 @And when the Pharisee saw it, he was surprised because he came to the meal without first washing himself.

bbe@Luke:11:42 @But a curse is on you, Pharisees! for you make men give a tenth of every sort of plant, and give no thought to right and the love of God; but it is right for you to do these things, and not let the others be undone.

bbe@Luke:11:44 @A curse is on you! for you are like the resting-places of dead men, which are not seen, and men go walking over them without knowledge of it.

bbe@Luke:11:48 @So you are witnesses and give approval to the work of your fathers; for they put them to death and you make their last resting-places.

bbe@Luke:11:51 @From the blood of Abel to the blood of Zachariah, who was put to death between the altar and the Temple. Yes, I say to you, It will come on this generation.

bbe@Luke:12:1 @At that time, when thousands of the people had come together, in such numbers that they were crushing one another, he said first to his disciples, Have nothing to do with the leaven of the Pharisees, which is deceit.

bbe@Luke:12:8 @And I say to you that to everyone who gives witness to me before men, the Son of man will give witness before the angels of God.

bbe@Luke:12:10 @And if anyone says a word against the Son of man, he will have forgiveness: but for him who says evil words against the Holy Spirit, there will be no forgiveness.

bbe@Luke:12:11 @And when they take you before the Synagogues and the authorities and the rulers, take no thought about what answers you will give, or what you will say:

bbe@Luke:12:12 @For the Holy Spirit will make clear to you in that very hour what to say.

bbe@Luke:12:13 @And one of the people said to him, Master, give an order to my brother to make division of the heritage with me

bbe@Luke:12:17 @And he said to himself, What is to be done? for I have no place in which to put all my fruit.

bbe@Luke:12:22 @And he said to his disciples, For this reason I say to you, Take no thought for your life, about what food you will take, or for your body, how it may be clothed.

bbe@Luke:12:23 @Is not life more than food, and the body than its clothing?

bbe@Luke:12:28 @But if God gives such clothing to the grass in the field, which today is living, and tomorrow will be burned in the oven, how much more will he give clothing to you, O men of little faith?

bbe@Luke:12:31 @But let your chief care be for his kingdom, and these other things will be given to you in addition.

bbe@Luke:12:32 @Have no fear, little flock, for it is your Father's good pleasure to give you the kingdom.

bbe@Luke:12:33 @Give what property you have in exchange for money, and give the money to the poor; make for yourselves money-bags which will not get old, wealth stored up in heaven which will be yours for ever, where thieves will not come nor worms put it to destruction.

bbe@Luke:12:35 @Be ready, dressed as for a journey, with your lights burning.

bbe@Luke:12:36 @And be like men who are looking for their lord, when he comes back from the bride-feast; so that when he comes to the door, it will be open to him quickly.

bbe@Luke:12:46 @The lord of that servant will come at a time when he is not looking for him, and at an hour when he is not ready for him, and he will have him cut in two and will give him his part in the fate of those who have no faith;

bbe@Luke:12:48 @But he who, without knowledge, did things for which punishment is given, will get only a small number of blows. The man to whom much is given, will have to give much; if much is given into his care, of him more will be requested.

bbe@Luke:12:49 @I came to send a fire on the earth, and it may even now have been lighted.

bbe@Luke:12:50 @But there is a baptism which I have to undergo; and how am I kept back till it is complete!

bbe@Luke:12:51 @Is it your opinion that I have come to give peace on earth? I say to you, No, but division:

bbe@Luke:12:52 @For from this time, a family of five in one house will be on opposite sides, three against two and two against three.

bbe@Luke:12:54 @Then he said to the people, When you see a cloud coming up in the west, straight away you say, There will be rain; and so it is.

bbe@Luke:12:55 @And when you see a south wind blowing, you say, There will be heat; and so it is.

bbe@Luke:12:56 @O false ones! the face of the earth and the heaven is clear to you; how is it that the signs of these times are not as clear to you?

bbe@Luke:12:58 @For if anyone has a cause at law against you, and you are going with him before the ruler, make an attempt, on the way, to come to an agreement with him, for if you do not, he may take you before the judge and the judge will give you up to the police, and they will put you in prison.

bbe@Luke:12:59 @I say to you, You will not come out of it till you have made payment to the very last farthing.

bbe@Luke:13:1 @Now some people who were there at that time, gave him an account of how the blood of some Galilaeans had been mixed by Pilate with their offerings.

bbe@Luke:13:3 @I say to you, It is not so: but if your hearts are not changed, you will all come to the same end.

bbe@Luke:13:5 @I say to you, It is not so: but if your hearts are not changed, you will all come to an end in the same way.

bbe@Luke:13:6 @And he made up this story for them: A certain man had a fig-tree in his garden, and he came to get fruit from it, and there was no fruit.

bbe@Luke:13:7 @And he said to the gardener, See, for three years I have been looking for fruit from this tree, and I have not had any: let it be cut down; why is it taking up space?

bbe@Luke:13:8 @And he said, Lord, let it be for this year, and I will have the earth turned up round it, and put animal waste on it, to make it fertile:

bbe@Luke:13:9 @And if, after that, it has fruit, it is well; if not, let it be cut down.

bbe@Luke:13:15 @But the Lord gave him an answer and said, O you false men! do you not, every one of you, on the Sabbath, let loose his ox and his ass and take it to the water?

bbe@Luke:13:16 @And is it not right for this daughter of Abraham, who has been in the power of Satan for eighteen years, to be made free on the Sabbath?

bbe@Luke:13:18 @Then he said, What is the kingdom of God like? what comparison may I make of it?

bbe@Luke:13:19 @It is like a grain of mustard seed which a man took and put in his garden, and it became a tree, and the birds of heaven made their resting-places in its branches.

bbe@Luke:13:21 @It is like leaven, which a woman put into three measures of meal, and it was all leavened.

bbe@Luke:13:26 @Then you will say, We have taken food and drink with you, and you were teaching in our streets.

bbe@Luke:13:32 @And he said, Go and say to that fox, I send out evil spirits and do works of mercy today and tomorrow, and on the third day my work will be complete.

bbe@Luke:13:33 @But I have to go on my way today and tomorrow and the third day, for it is not right for a prophet to come to his death outside Jerusalem.

bbe@Luke:14:1 @And it came about that when he went into the house of one of the chief Pharisees on the Sabbath, to have a meal, they were watching him.

bbe@Luke:14:3 @And Jesus, answering, said to the scribes and Pharisees, Is it right to make people well on the Sabbath or not?

bbe@Luke:14:9 @And then the giver of the feast will come to you and say, Give your place to this man; and you, with shame, will have to take the lowest seat.

bbe@Luke:14:15 @And, hearing these words, one of those who were at table with him said to him, Happy is the man who will be a guest in the kingdom of God.

bbe@Luke:14:16 @And he said to them, A certain man gave a great feast, and sent word of it to a number of people.

bbe@Luke:14:18 @And they all gave reasons why they were not able to come. The first said to him, I have got a new field, and it is necessary for me to go and see it: I am full of regret that I am unable to come.

bbe@Luke:14:25 @Now a great number of people went with him.

bbe@Luke:14:28 @For which of you, desiring to put up a tower, does not first give much thought to the price, if he will have enough to make it complete?

bbe@Luke:14:29 @For fear that if he makes a start and is not able to go on with it to the end, all who see it will be laughing at him,

bbe@Luke:14:30 @And saying, This man made a start at building and is not able to make it complete.

bbe@Luke:14:31 @Or what king, going to war with another king, will not first take thought if he will be strong enough, with ten thousand men, to keep off him who comes against him with twenty thousand?

bbe@Luke:14:32 @Or while the other is still a great distance away, he sends representatives requesting conditions of peace.

bbe@Luke:14:34 @For salt is good, but if the taste goes from it, of what use is it?

bbe@Luke:14:35 @It is no good for the land or for the place of waste; no one has a use for it. He who has ears, let him give ear.

bbe@Luke:15:2 @And the Pharisees and scribes were angry, saying, This man gives approval to sinners, and takes food with them.

bbe@Luke:15:4 @What man of you, having a hundred sheep, if one of them gets loose and goes away, will not let the ninety-nine be in the waste land by themselves, and go after the wandering one, till he sees where it is?

bbe@Luke:15:5 @And when he has got it again, he takes it in his arms with joy.

bbe@Luke:15:6 @And when he gets back to his house, he sends for his neighbours and friends, saying to them, Be glad with me, for I have got back my sheep which had gone away.

bbe@Luke:15:8 @Or what woman, having ten bits of silver, if one bit has gone from her hands, will not get a light, and go through her house, searching with care till she sees it?

bbe@Luke:15:9 @And when she has it again, she gets her friends and neighbours together, saying, Be glad with me, for I have got back the bit of silver which had gone from me.

bbe@Luke:15:20 @And he got up and went to his father. But while he was still far away, his father saw him and was moved with pity for him and went quickly and took him in his arms and gave him a kiss.

bbe@Luke:15:22 @But the father said to his servants, Get out the first robe quickly, and put it on him, and put a ring on his hand and shoes on his feet:

bbe@Luke:15:23 @And get the fat young ox and put it to death, and let us have a feast, and be glad.

bbe@Luke:15:26 @And he sent for one of the servants, questioning him about what it might be.

bbe@Luke:15:29 @But he made answer and said to his father, See, all these years I have been your servant, doing your orders in everything: and you never gave me even a young goat so that I might have a feast with my friends:

bbe@Luke:15:30 @But when this your son came, who has been wasting your property with bad women, you put to death the fat young ox for him.

bbe@Luke:15:31 @And he said to him, Son, you are with me at all times, and all I have is yours.

bbe@Luke:15:32 @But it was right to be glad and to have a feast; for this your brother, who was dead, is living again; he had gone away and has come back.

bbe@Luke:16:1 @And another time he said to the disciples, There was a certain man of great wealth who had a servant; and it was said to him that this servant was wasting his goods.

bbe@Luke:16:3 @And the servant said to himself, What am I to do now that my lord takes away my position? I have not enough strength for working in the fields, and I would be shamed if I made requests for money from people in the streets.

bbe@Luke:16:4 @I have come to a decision what to do, so that when I am put out of my position they will take me into their houses.

bbe@Luke:16:8 @And his lord was pleased with the false servant, because he had been wise; for the sons of this world are wiser in relation to their generation than the sons of light.

bbe@Luke:16:9 @And I say to you, Make friends for yourselves through the wealth of this life, so that when it comes to an end, you may be taken into the eternal resting-places.

bbe@Luke:16:10 @He who is true in a little, is true in much; he who is false in small things, is false in great.

bbe@Luke:16:16 @The law and the prophets were till John: but then came the preaching of the kingdom of God, and everyone makes his way into it by force.

bbe@Luke:16:21 @Desiring the broken bits of food which came from the table of the man of wealth; and even the dogs came and put their tongues on his wounds

bbe@Luke:16:24 @And he gave a cry and said, Father Abraham, have mercy on me and send Lazarus, so that he may put the end of his finger in water and put it on my tongue, for I am cruelly burning in this flame.

bbe@Luke:16:26 @And in addition, there is a deep division fixed between us and you, so that those who might go from here to you are not able to do so, and no one may come from you to us.

bbe@Luke:16:27 @And he said, Father, it is my request that you will send him to my father's house;

bbe@Luke:17:1 @And he said to his disciples, It is necessary for causes of trouble to come about, but unhappy is he by whom they come.

bbe@Luke:17:2 @It would be well for him if a great stone was put round his neck and he was dropped into the sea, before he made trouble for any of these little ones.

bbe@Luke:17:5 @And the twelve said to the Lord, Make our faith greater.

bbe@Luke:17:6 @And the Lord said, If your faith was only as great as a grain of mustard seed, you might say to this tree, Be rooted up and planted in the sea; and it would be done.

bbe@Luke:17:10 @In the same way, when you have done all the things which are given you to do, say, There is no profit in us, for we have only done what we were ordered to do.

bbe@Luke:17:11 @And it came about that when they were on the way to Jerusalem he went through Samaria and Galilee.

bbe@Luke:17:16 @And, falling down on his face at the feet of Jesus, he gave the credit to him; and he was a man of Samaria.

bbe@Luke:17:19 @And he said to him, Get up, and go on your way; your faith has made you well.

bbe@Luke:17:21 @And men will not say, See, it is here! or, There! for the kingdom of God is among you.

bbe@Luke:17:22 @And he said to his disciples, The time will come when you will have a great desire to see one of the days of the Son of man, but you will not see it.

bbe@Luke:17:23 @And if they say to you, See, it is there! or, It is here! do not go away, or go after them

bbe@Luke:17:26 @And as it was in the days of Noah, so will it be in the day of the Son of man.

bbe@Luke:17:30 @So will it be in the day of the revelation of the Son of man.

bbe@Luke:17:33 @If anyone makes an attempt to keep his life, it will be taken from him, but if anyone gives up his life, he will keep it.

bbe@Luke:18:7 @And will not God do right in the cause of his saints, whose cries come day and night to his ears, though he is long in doing it?

bbe@Luke:18:8 @I say to you that he will quickly do right in their cause. But when the Son of man comes, will there be any faith on earth?

bbe@Luke:18:11 @The Pharisee, taking up his position, said to himself these words: God, I give you praise because I am not like other men, who take more than their right, who are evil-doers, who are untrue to their wives, or even like this tax-farmer.

bbe@Luke:18:12 @Twice in the week I go without food; I give a tenth of all I have.

bbe@Luke:18:14 @I say to you, This man went back to his house with God's approval, and not the other: for everyone who makes himself high will be made low and whoever makes himself low will be made high.

bbe@Luke:18:15 @And they took their children to him, so that he might put his hands on them: but when the disciples saw it, they said sharp words to them

bbe@Luke:18:17 @Truly I say to you, Whoever does not put himself under the kingdom of God like a little child, will not come into it at all.

bbe@Luke:18:20 @You have knowledge of what the law says: Do not be untrue to your wife, Do not put anyone to death, Do not take what is not yours, Do not give false witness, Give honour to your father and mother.

bbe@Luke:18:22 @And Jesus, hearing it, said to him, One thing you still have need of; get money for your goods, and give it away to the poor, and you will have wealth in heaven; and come after me.

bbe@Luke:18:24 @And Jesus, looking at him, said, How hard it is for those who have wealth to get into the kingdom of God!

bbe@Luke:18:25 @It is simpler for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a man who has much money to come into the kingdom of God.

bbe@Luke:18:27 @But he said, Things which are not possible with man are possible with God.

bbe@Luke:18:31 @And he took with him the twelve and said to them, Now we are going up to Jerusalem, and all the things which were said by the prophets will be done to the Son of man.

bbe@Luke:18:34 @But they did not take in the sense of any of these words, and what he said was not clear to them, and their minds were not able to see it.

bbe@Luke:18:35 @And it came about that when he got near Jericho, a certain blind man was seated by the side of the road, making requests for money from those who went by.

bbe@Luke:18:42 @And Jesus said, See again: your faith has made you well.

bbe@Luke:18:43 @And straight away he was able to see, and he went after him, giving glory to God; and all the people when they saw it gave praise to God.

bbe@Luke:19:1 @And he went into Jericho, and when he was going through it,

bbe@Luke:19:6 @And he came down quickly, and took him into his house with joy.

bbe@Luke:19:7 @And when they saw it, they were all angry, saying, He has gone into the house of a sinner.

bbe@Luke:19:8 @And Zacchaeus, waiting before him, said to the Lord, See, Lord, half of my goods I give to the poor, and if I have taken anything from anyone wrongly, I give him back four times as much.

bbe@Luke:19:13 @And he sent for ten of his servants and gave them ten pounds and said to them, Do business with this till I come.

bbe@Luke:19:17 @And he said to him, You have done well, O good servant: because you have done well in a small thing you will have authority over ten towns.

bbe@Luke:19:23 @Why then did you not put my money in a bank, so that when I came I would get it back with interest?

bbe@Luke:19:24 @And he said to the others who were near, Take the pound away from him, and give it to the man who has ten.

bbe@Luke:19:29 @And it came about that when he got near Beth-phage and Bethany by the mountain which is named the Mountain of Olives, he sent two of the disciples,

bbe@Luke:19:30 @Saying, Go into the little town in front of you, and on going in you will see a young ass fixed with a cord, on which no man has ever been seated; let him loose and take him.

bbe@Luke:19:32 @And those whom he sent went away, and it was as he said.

bbe@Luke:19:33 @And when they were getting the young ass, the owners of it said to them, Why are you taking the young ass?

bbe@Luke:19:37 @And when he came near the foot of the Mountain of Olives, all the disciples with loud voices gave praise to God with joy, because of all the great works which they had seen;

bbe@Luke:19:41 @And when he got near and saw the town, he was overcome with weeping for it,

bbe@Luke:19:44 @And will make you level with the earth, and your children with you; and there will not be one stone resting on another in you, because you did not see that it was your day of mercy.

bbe@Luke:19:46 @Saying to them, It has been said, My house is to be a house of prayer, but you have made it a hole of thieves.

bbe@Luke:20:1 @And it came about on one of those days, when he was teaching the people in the Temple and preaching the good news,

bbe@Luke:20:2 @That the chief priests and the scribes and the rulers of the people came to him and said, Make clear to us by what authority you do these things and who gave you this authority.

bbe@Luke:20:4 @The baptism of John, was it from heaven or of men?

bbe@Luke:20:5 @And they said among themselves, If we say, From heaven; he will say, Why did you not have faith in him?

bbe@Luke:20:7 @And they made answer that they had no idea where it came from.

bbe@Luke:20:8 @And Jesus said, And I will not make clear to you by what authority I do these things.

bbe@Luke:20:9 @And he gave the people this story: A man made a vine-garden and gave the use of it to some field-workers and went into another country for a long time.

bbe@Luke:20:10 @And at the right time he sent a servant to the workers to get part of the fruit from the vines; but the workmen gave him blows and sent him away with nothing.

bbe@Luke:20:11 @And he sent another servant, and they gave blows to him in the same way, and put shame on him, and sent him away with nothing.

bbe@Luke:20:14 @But when the workmen saw him, they said to one another, This is he who will one day be the owner of the property: let us put him to death and the heritage will be ours.

bbe@Luke:20:16 @He will come and put them to destruction and give the garden to others. And when he said this, they said, May it not be so.

bbe@Luke:20:17 @But he, looking on them, said, Is it not in the Writings, The stone which the builders put on one side, the same has become the chief stone of the building?

bbe@Luke:20:21 @And they put a question to him, saying, Master, we are certain that your teaching and your words are right, and that you have no respect for a man's position, but you are teaching the true way of God:

bbe@Luke:20:22 @Is it right for us to make payment of taxes to Caesar or not?

bbe@Luke:20:24 @Let me see a penny. Whose image and name are on it? And they said, Caesar's.

bbe@Luke:20:31 @And the third took her; and in the same way, all the seven, without having any children, came to their end.

bbe@Luke:20:37 @But even Moses made it clear that the dead come back to life, saying, in the story of the burning thorn-tree, The Lord, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.

bbe@Luke:20:44 @David then gives him the name of Lord, so how is it possible for him to be his son?

bbe@Luke:20:46 @Keep away from the scribes, whose pleasure it is to go about in long robes, and to have words of respect said to them in the market-places, and to take the chief seats in the Synagogues and the first places at feasts;

bbe@Luke:21:5 @And some were talking about the Temple, how it was made fair with beautiful stones and with offerings, but he said,

bbe@Luke:21:11 @There will be great earth-shocks and outbursts of disease in a number of places, and men will be without food; and there will be wonders and great signs from heaven.

bbe@Luke:21:13 @And it will be turned to a witness for you.

bbe@Luke:21:22 @For these are the days of punishment, in which all the things in the Writings will be put into effect.

bbe@Luke:21:23 @It will be hard for women who are with child, and for her with a baby at the breast, in those days. For great trouble will come on the land, and wrath on this people.

bbe@Luke:21:24 @And they will be put to death with the sword, and will be taken as prisoners into all the nations; and Jerusalem will be crushed under the feet of the Gentiles, till the times of the Gentiles are complete.

bbe@Luke:21:26 @Men's strength will go from them in fear and in waiting for the things which are coming on the earth; for the powers of the heavens will be moved.

bbe@Luke:21:27 @And then they will see the Son of man coming in a cloud, with power and great glory.

bbe@Luke:21:30 @When they put out their young leaves, you take note of it, and it is clear to you that summer is coming.

bbe@Luke:21:35 @For so it will come on all those who are living on the face of all the earth.

bbe@Luke:21:36 @But keep watch at all times with prayer, that you may be strong enough to come through all these things and take your place before the Son of man.

bbe@Luke:22:4 @And he went away and had a discussion with the chief priests and the rulers, about how he might give him up to them.

bbe@Luke:22:6 @And he made an agreement with them to give him up to them, if he got a chance, when the people were not present.

bbe@Luke:22:8 @And Jesus sent Peter and John, saying, Go and make the Passover ready for us, so that we may take it.

bbe@Luke:22:9 @And they said to him, Where are we to get it ready?

bbe@Luke:22:10 @And he said to them, When you go into the town you will see a man coming to you with a vessel of water; go after him into the house into which he goes.

bbe@Luke:22:11 @And say to the master of the house, The Master says, Where is the guest-room, where I may take the Passover with my disciples?

bbe@Luke:22:12 @And he will take you up to a great room with a table and seats: there make ready.

bbe@Luke:22:13 @And they went, and it was as he had said: and they made the Passover ready.

bbe@Luke:22:14 @And when the time had come, he took his seat, and the Apostles with him.

bbe@Luke:22:15 @And he said, I have had a great desire to keep this Passover with you before I come to my death;

bbe@Luke:22:16 @For I say to you, I will not take it till it is made complete in the kingdom of God

bbe@Luke:22:18 @For I say to you, I will not take of the fruit of the vine till the kingdom of God has come.

bbe@Luke:22:19 @And he took bread and, having given praise, he gave it to them when it had been broken, saying, This is my body, which is given for you: do this in memory of me.

bbe@Luke:22:20 @And in the same way, after the meal, he took the cup, saying, This cup is the new testament, made with my blood which is given for you.

bbe@Luke:22:21 @But the hand of him who is false to me is with me at the table.

bbe@Luke:22:22 @For it will be done to the Son of man after the purpose of God, but unhappy is that man by whom he is given up.

bbe@Luke:22:23 @And they were wondering among themselves which of them it was who would do this thing.

bbe@Luke:22:25 @And he said, The kings of the Gentiles are lords over them, and those who have authority are given names of honour.

bbe@Luke:22:26 @But let it not be so with you; but he who is greater, let him become like the younger; and he who is chief, like a servant.

bbe@Luke:22:27 @For which is greater, the guest who is seated at a meal or the servant who is waiting on him? is it not the guest? but I am among you as a servant.

bbe@Luke:22:28 @But you are those who have kept with me through my troubles;

bbe@Luke:22:32 @But I have made prayer for you, that your faith may not go from you: and when you are turned again, make your brothers strong.

bbe@Luke:22:33 @And he said to him, Lord, I am ready to go with you to prison and to death.

bbe@Luke:22:35 @And he said to them, When I sent you out without money or bag or shoes, were you in need of anything? And they said, Nothing.

bbe@Luke:22:36 @And he said to them, But now, he who has a money-bag, or a bag for food, let him take it: and he who has not, let him give his coat for money and get a sword.

bbe@Luke:22:37 @For I say to you that these words will be put into effect in me, And he was numbered among the evil-doers: for what has been said in the Writings about me has an end.

bbe@Luke:22:38 @And they said, Lord, here are two swords. And he said, It is enough.

bbe@Luke:22:39 @And he came out, and went, as his way was, to the Mountain of Olives, and the disciples went with him.

bbe@Luke:22:41 @And he went a little distance away from them and, falling on his knees in prayer, he said,

bbe@Luke:22:42 @Father, if it is your pleasure, take this cup from me: but still, let your pleasure, not mine, be done.

bbe@Luke:22:48 @But Jesus said to him, Judas, will you be false to the Son of man with a kiss?

bbe@Luke:22:49 @And when those who were with him saw what was coming, they said, Lord, may we not make use of our swords?

bbe@Luke:22:51 @But Jesus, answering, said, Put up with this, at least. And touching his ear, he made it well.

bbe@Luke:22:52 @And Jesus said to the chief priests and the captains of the Temple and the rulers, who had come against him, Have you come out as against a thief, with swords and sticks?

bbe@Luke:22:53 @When I was in the Temple with you every day, your hands were not stretched out against me: but this is your hour, and the authority of the dark power.

bbe@Luke:22:56 @And a certain woman-servant, seeing him in the light of the fire, and looking at him with attention, said, This man was with him.

bbe@Luke:22:57 @But he said, Woman, it is not true; I have no knowledge of him.

bbe@Luke:22:58 @And after a little time, another saw him and said, You are one of them; and he said, Man, I am not.

bbe@Luke:22:59 @And after about an hour, another man said, with decision, Certainly this man was with him, for he is a Galilaean.

bbe@Luke:22:62 @And he went out, weeping bitterly.

bbe@Luke:22:66 @And when it was day, the rulers of the people came together, with the chief priests and the scribes, and they took him before their Sanhedrin, saying,

bbe@Luke:22:71 @And they said, What more need have we of witness? we have the very words of his mouth.

bbe@Luke:23:7 @And when he saw that he was under the authority of Herod, he sent him to Herod, who was in Jerusalem himself at that time.

bbe@Luke:23:11 @And Herod, with the men of his army, put shame on him and made sport of him, and dressing him in shining robes, he sent him back to Pilate.

bbe@Luke:23:12 @And that day Herod and Pilate became friends with one another, for before they had been against one another.

bbe@Luke:23:14 @You say that this man has been teaching the people evil things: now I, after going into the question before you, see nothing wrong in this man in connection with the things which you have said against him:

bbe@Luke:23:18 @But with loud voices they said all together, Put this man to death, and make Barabbas free

bbe@Luke:23:20 @And Pilate again said to them that it was his desire to let Jesus go free.

bbe@Luke:23:21 @But crying out they said, To the cross with him!

bbe@Luke:23:31 @For if they do these things when the tree is green, what will they do when it is dry?

bbe@Luke:23:32 @And two others, evil-doers, were taken with him to be put to death.

bbe@Luke:23:36 @And the men of the army made sport of him, coming to him and giving him bitter wine,

bbe@Luke:23:38 @And these words were put in writing over him, THIS IS THE KING OF THE JEWS.

bbe@Luke:23:39 @And one of the evil-doers on the cross, with bitter feeling, said to him, Are you not the Christ? Get yourself and us out of this.

bbe@Luke:23:41 @And with reason; for we have the right reward of our acts, but this man has done nothing wrong.

bbe@Luke:23:43 @And he said to him, Truly I say to you, Today you will be with me in Paradise.

bbe@Luke:23:44 @And it was now about the sixth hour; and all the land was dark till the ninth hour;

bbe@Luke:23:46 @And Jesus gave a loud cry and said, Father, into your hands I give my spirit: and when he had said this, he gave up his spirit.

bbe@Luke:23:47 @And when the captain saw what was done, he gave praise to God, saying, Without doubt this was an upright man.

bbe@Luke:23:48 @And all the people who had come together to see it, when they saw the things which were done, went back again making signs of grief.

bbe@Luke:23:49 @And all his friends and the women who came with him from Galilee, were waiting at a distance, watching these things.

bbe@Luke:23:50 @Now there was a man named Joseph, a man of authority and a good and upright man

bbe@Luke:23:51 @(He had not given his approval to their decision or their acts), of Arimathaea, a town of the Jews, who was waiting for the kingdom of God:

bbe@Luke:23:53 @And he took it down, and folding it in a linen cloth, he put it in a place cut in the rock for a dead body; and no one had ever been put in it.

bbe@Luke:23:54 @Now it was the day of making ready and the Sabbath was coming on.

bbe@Luke:23:55 @And the women who had come with him from Galilee went after him and saw the place and how his body had been put to rest;

bbe@Luke:23:56 @And they went back and got ready spices and perfumes; and on the Sabbath they took their rest, in agreement with the law.

bbe@Luke:24:4 @And while they were in doubt about it, they saw two men in shining clothing by them:

bbe@Luke:24:10 @Now they were Mary Magdalene, and Joanna, and Mary, the mother of James: and the other women with them said these things to the Apostles.

bbe@Luke:24:13 @And then, two of them, on that very day, were going to a little town named Emmaus, which was about seven miles from Jerusalem.

bbe@Luke:24:15 @And while they were talking and questioning together, Jesus himself came near and went with them.

bbe@Luke:24:19 @And he said to them, What things? And they said, The things to do with Jesus of Nazareth, who was a prophet, great in his acts and his words, before God and all the people:

bbe@Luke:24:21 @But we were hoping that he would be the Saviour of Israel. In addition to all this he has now let three days go by from the time when these things took place;

bbe@Luke:24:23 @And it was not there; then they came saying that they had seen a vision of angels who said that he was living.

bbe@Luke:24:24 @And some of those who were with us went to the place, and saw that it was as the women had said, but him they did not see.

bbe@Luke:24:26 @Was it not necessary for the Christ to go through these things, and to come into his glory?

bbe@Luke:24:27 @And he made clear to them all the things in the Writings, from Moses and from all the prophets, which had to do with himself.

bbe@Luke:24:29 @But they kept him back, saying, Do not go, for evening is near, the day is almost gone. And he went in with them.

bbe@Luke:24:30 @And when he was seated with them at table, he took the bread, and said words of blessing and, making division of it, he gave it to them.

bbe@Luke:24:32 @And they said to one another, Were not our hearts burning in us while he was talking to us on the way, making clear to us the holy Writings?

bbe@Luke:24:36 @And while they were saying these things, he himself was among them, and said to them, Peace be with you!

bbe@Luke:24:37 @But they were full of fear, being of the opinion that they were seeing a spirit.

bbe@Luke:24:39 @See; my hands and my feet: it is I myself; put your hands on me and make certain; for a spirit has not flesh and bones as you see that I have.

bbe@Luke:24:42 @And they gave him a bit of cooked fish.

bbe@Luke:24:44 @And he said to them, These are the words which I said to you when I was still with you, how it was necessary for all the things which are in the writings of Moses and the prophets and in the Psalms about me, to be put into effect.

bbe@Luke:24:45 @Then he made the holy Writings clear to their minds.

bbe@Luke:24:46 @And he said to them, So it is in the Writings that the Christ would undergo death, and come back to life again on the third day;

bbe@Luke:24:48 @You are witnesses of these things.

bbe@Luke:24:52 @And they gave him worship and went back to Jerusalem with great joy.

bbe@John:1:1 @From the first he was the Word, and the Word was in relation with God and was God.

bbe@John:1:2 @This Word was from the first in relation with God.

bbe@John:1:3 @All things came into existence through him, and without him nothing was.

bbe@John:1:5 @And the light goes on shining in the dark; it is not overcome by the dark.

bbe@John:1:7 @He came for witness, to give witness about the light, so that all men might have faith through him.

bbe@John:1:8 @He himself was not the light: he was sent to give witness about the light.

bbe@John:1:12 @To all those who did so take him, however, he gave the right of becoming children of God--that is, to those who had faith in his name:

bbe@John:1:14 @And so the Word became flesh and took a place among us for a time; and we saw his glory--such glory as is given to an only son by his father--saw it to be true and full of grace.

bbe@John:1:15 @John gave witness about him, crying, This is he of whom I said, He who is coming after me is put over me because he was in existence before me.

bbe@John:1:19 @And this is the witness of John when the Jews sent priests and Levites from Jerusalem to him with the question, Who are you?

bbe@John:1:20 @He said quite openly and straightforwardly, I am not the Christ.

bbe@John:1:26 @John's answer was: I give baptism with water; but there is one among you of whom you have no knowledge;

bbe@John:1:27 @It is he who is coming after me; I am not good enough to undo his shoes.

bbe@John:1:31 @I myself had no knowledge of him, but I came giving baptism with water so that he might be seen openly by Israel.

bbe@John:1:32 @And John gave this witness, saying, I saw the Spirit coming down from heaven like a dove and resting on him.

bbe@John:1:33 @I had no knowledge who he was, but he who sent me to give baptism with water said to me, The one on whom you see the Spirit coming down and resting, it is he who gives baptism with the Holy Spirit.

bbe@John:1:34 @This I saw myself and my witness is that he is the Son of God.

bbe@John:1:35 @The day after, John was there again with two of his disciples;

bbe@John:1:40 @He said to them, Come and see. They went with him then and saw where he was living; and they were with him all that day: it was then about the tenth hour of the day.

bbe@John:1:42 @Early in the morning he came across his brother and said to him, We have made discovery! It is the Messiah! (which is to say, the Christ).

bbe@John:1:46 @Philip came across Nathanael and said to him, We have made a discovery! It is he of whom Moses, in the law, and the prophets were writing, Jesus of Nazareth, the son of Joseph.

bbe@John:1:47 @Nazareth! said Nathanael, Is it possible for any good to come out of Nazareth? Philip said to him, Come and see.

bbe@John:1:49 @Nathanael said to him, Where did you get knowledge of me? In answer Jesus said, Before Philip was talking with you, while you were still under the fig-tree, I saw you.

bbe@John:1:51 @In answer Jesus said to him, You have faith because I said to you, I saw you under the fig-tree. You will see greater things than these.

bbe@John:2:2 @And Jesus with his disciples came as guests.

bbe@John:2:5 @His mother said to the servants, Whatever he says to you, do it.

bbe@John:2:8 @Then he said to them, Now take some, and give it to the master of the feast. So they took it to him.

bbe@John:2:9 @After tasting the water which had now become wine, the master of the feast (having no idea where it came from, though it was clear to the servants who took the water out) sent for the newly-married man,

bbe@John:2:11 @This, the first of his signs, Jesus did at Cana in Galilee and let his glory be seen openly; and his disciples put their faith in him.

bbe@John:2:12 @After this he went down to Capernaum, with his mother, his brothers, and his disciples, and they were there not more than two or three days.

bbe@John:2:15 @And he made a whip of small cords and put them all out of the Temple, with the sheep and the oxen, sending in all directions the small money of the changers and overturning their tables;

bbe@John:2:17 @And it came to the minds of the disciples that the Writings say, I am on fire with passion for your house.

bbe@John:2:18 @Then the Jews put this question to him: What sign of authority have you to give us, seeing that you do these things?

bbe@John:2:19 @And Jesus said to them, Send destruction on this Temple and I will put it up again in three days.

bbe@John:2:20 @The Jews said, The building of this Temple took forty-six years; and you will put it up in three days!

bbe@John:2:22 @So when he had come back again from the dead, the memory of these words came back to the disciples, and they had faith in the holy Writings and in the word which Jesus had said.

bbe@John:2:23 @Now while he was in Jerusalem at the feast of the Passover, a great number of people came to have faith in his name, after seeing the signs which he did.

bbe@John:2:24 @But Jesus did not have faith in them, because he had knowledge of them all.

bbe@John:2:25 @He had no need for any witness about man; for he himself had knowledge of what was in man.

bbe@John:3:2 @He came to Jesus by night and said to him, Rabbi, we are certain that you have come from God as a teacher, because no man would be able to do these signs which you do if God was not with him.

bbe@John:3:3 @Jesus said to him, Truly, I say to you, Without a new birth no man is able to see the kingdom of God.

bbe@John:3:4 @Nicodemus said to him, How is it possible for a man to be given birth when he is old? Is he able to go into his mother's body a second time and come to birth again?

bbe@John:3:5 @Jesus said in answer, Truly, I say to you, If a man's birth is not from water and from the Spirit, it is not possible for him to go into the kingdom of God.

bbe@John:3:6 @That which has birth from the flesh is flesh, and that which has birth from the Spirit is spirit.

bbe@John:3:7 @Do not be surprised that I say to you, It is necessary for you to have a second birth.

bbe@John:3:8 @The wind goes where its pleasure takes it, and the sound of it comes to your ears, but you are unable to say where it comes from and where it goes: so it is with everyone whose birth is from the Spirit.

bbe@John:3:9 @And Nicodemus said to him, How is it possible for these things to be?

bbe@John:3:11 @Truly, I say to you, We say that of which we have knowledge; we give witness of what we have seen; and you do not take our witness to be true.

bbe@John:3:14 @As the snake was lifted up by Moses in the waste land, even so it is necessary for the Son of man to be lifted up:

bbe@John:3:15 @So that whoever has faith may have in him eternal life.

bbe@John:3:16 @For God had such love for the world that he gave his only Son, so that whoever has faith in him may not come to destruction but have eternal life.

bbe@John:3:18 @The man who has faith in him does not come up to be judged; but he who has no faith in him has been judged even now, because he has no faith in the name of the only Son of God.

bbe@John:3:21 @But he whose life is true comes to the light, so that it may be clearly seen that his acts have been done by the help of God.

bbe@John:3:22 @After these things Jesus and his disciples went into the land of Judaea, and there he was with them for some time, giving baptism.

bbe@John:3:26 @And they went to John and said to him, Rabbi, the man who was with you on the other side of the Jordan, the man to whom you gave witness, is now giving baptism, and everyone is going to him.

bbe@John:3:27 @And this was John's answer: A man is unable to have anything if it is not given to him from heaven.

bbe@John:3:28 @You yourselves give witness that I said, I am not the Christ. What I said was, I am sent before the Christ.

bbe@John:3:29 @He who has the bride is the husband: but the husband's friend, whose place is by his side and whose ears are open to him, is full of joy because of the husband's voice: such is my joy, and it is complete.

bbe@John:3:32 @He gives witness of what he has seen and of what has come to his ears; and no man takes his witness as true.

bbe@John:3:33 @He who so takes his witness has made clear his faith that God is true.

bbe@John:3:34 @For he whom God has sent says God's words; and God does not give him the Spirit by measure.

bbe@John:3:36 @He who has faith in the Son has eternal life; but he who has not faith in the Son will not see life; God's wrath is resting on him.

bbe@John:4:1 @Now when it was clear to the Lord that word had come to the ears of the Pharisees that Jesus was making more disciples than John and was giving them baptism

bbe@John:4:2 @(Though, in fact, it was his disciples who gave baptism, not Jesus himself),

bbe@John:4:4 @And it was necessary for him to go through Samaria.

bbe@John:4:5 @So he came to a town of Samaria which was named Sychar, near to the bit of land which Jacob gave to his son Joseph:

bbe@John:4:6 @Now Jacob's fountain was there. Jesus, being tired after his journey, was resting by the fountain. It was about the sixth hour.

bbe@John:4:9 @The woman of Samaria said to him, Why do you, a Jew, make a request for water to me, a woman of Samaria? She said this because Jews have nothing to do with the people of Samaria.

bbe@John:4:10 @In answer Jesus said, If you had knowledge of what God gives freely and who it is who says to you, Give me water, you would make your prayer to him, and he would give you living water

bbe@John:4:12 @Are you greater than our father Jacob who gave us the fountain and took the water of it himself, with his children and his cattle?

bbe@John:4:13 @Jesus said to her, Everyone who takes this water will be in need of it again:

bbe@John:4:15 @The woman said to him, Sir, give me this water, so that I may not be in need again of drink and will not have to come all this way for it.

bbe@John:4:16 @Jesus said to her, Go, get your husband and come back here with him.

bbe@John:4:22 @You give worship, but without knowledge of what you are worshipping: we give worship to what we have knowledge of: for salvation comes from the Jews.

bbe@John:4:23 @But the time is coming, and is even now here, when the true worshippers will give worship to the Father in the true way of the spirit, for these are the worshippers desired by the Father.

bbe@John:4:24 @God is Spirit: then let his worshippers give him worship in the true way of the spirit.

bbe@John:4:29 @Come and see a man who has been talking to me of everything I ever did! Is it possible that this is the Christ?

bbe@John:4:35 @You would say, Four months from now is the time of the grain-cutting. Take a look, I say to you, at the fields; they are even now white for cutting.

bbe@John:4:36 @He who does the cutting now has his reward; he is getting together fruit for eternal life, so that he who did the planting and he who gets in the grain may have joy together.

bbe@John:4:39 @Now a number of the people of that town had faith in him because of the woman's witness: He has been talking to me of everything I ever did.

bbe@John:4:41 @And a great number more of them came to have faith in him because of what he himself said.

bbe@John:4:42 @And they said to the woman, Now we have faith, but not because of your story: we ourselves have given ear to his words, and we are certain that he is truly the Saviour of the world.

bbe@John:4:46 @So he came to Cana in Galilee, where he had made the water wine. And there was a certain man of high position whose son was ill at Capernaum.

bbe@John:4:47 @When it came to his ears that Jesus had come from Judaea into Galilee, he went to him and made a request that he would come down to his son, who was near to death, and make him well.

bbe@John:4:48 @Then Jesus said to him, You will not have faith if you do not see signs and wonders.

bbe@John:4:50 @And Jesus said, Go in peace; your son is living. The man had faith in the word which Jesus said to him and went away.

bbe@John:4:53 @It was clear then to the father that this was the very time at which Jesus said to him, Your son is living. And he had faith in Jesus, he and all his family.

bbe@John:5:2 @Now in Jerusalem near the sheep-market there is a public bath which in Hebrew is named Beth-zatha. It has five doorways.

bbe@John:5:3 @In these doorways there were a great number of people with different diseases: some unable to see, some without the power of walking, some with wasted bodies.

bbe@John:5:6 @When Jesus saw him there on the floor it was clear to him that he had been now a long time in that condition, and so he said to the man, Is it your desire to get well?

bbe@John:5:10 @So the Jews said to the man who had been made well, It is the Sabbath; and it is against the law for you to take up your bed.

bbe@John:5:12 @Then they put to him the question: Who is the man who said to you, Take it up and go?

bbe@John:5:13 @Now he who had been made well had no knowledge who it was, Jesus having gone away because of the number of people who were in that place.

bbe@John:5:15 @The man went away and said to the Jews that it was Jesus who had made him well.

bbe@John:5:18 @For this cause the Jews had an even greater desire to put Jesus to death, because not only did he not keep the Sabbath but he said God was his Father, so making himself equal with God.

bbe@John:5:19 @So Jesus made answer and said, Truly I say to you, The Son is not able to do anything himself; he is able to do only what he sees the Father doing; whatever the Father does the Son does it in the same way.

bbe@John:5:21 @In the same way, as the Father gives life to the dead, even so the Son gives life to those to whom he is pleased to give it.

bbe@John:5:24 @Truly I say to you, The man whose ears are open to my word and who has faith in him who sent me, has eternal life; he will not be judged, but has come from death into life.

bbe@John:5:25 @Truly I say to you, The time is coming, it has even now come, when the voice of the Son of God will come to the ears of the dead, and those hearing it will have life.

bbe@John:5:27 @And he has given him authority to be judge because he is the Son of man.

bbe@John:5:31 @If I gave witness about myself, my witness would not be true.

bbe@John:5:32 @There is another who gives witness about me and I am certain that the witness he gives about me is true.

bbe@John:5:33 @You sent to John and he gave true witness.

bbe@John:5:34 @But I have no need of a man's witness: I only say these things so that you may have salvation.

bbe@John:5:36 @But the witness which I have is greater than that of John: the work which the Father has given me to do, the very work which I am now doing, is a witness that the Father has sent me.

bbe@John:5:37 @And the Father himself who sent me has given witness about me. Not one of you has ever given ear to his voice; his form you have not seen.

bbe@John:5:38 @And you have not kept his word in your hearts, because you have not faith in him whom he has sent.

bbe@John:5:39 @You make search in the holy Writings, in the belief that through them you get eternal life; and it is those Writings which give witness about me.

bbe@John:5:43 @I have come in my Father's name, and your hearts are not open to me. If another comes with no other authority but himself, you will give him your approval.

bbe@John:5:44 @How is it possible for you to have faith while you take honour one from another and have no desire for the honour which comes from the only God?

bbe@John:5:46 @If you had belief in Moses you would have belief in me; for his writings are about me.

bbe@John:5:47 @If you have no belief in his writings, how will you have belief in my words?

bbe@John:6:3 @Then Jesus went up the mountain and was seated there with his disciples.

bbe@John:6:7 @Philip made answer, Bread to the value of two hundred pence would not be enough even to give everyone a little.

bbe@John:6:9 @There is a boy here with five barley cakes and two fishes: but what is that among such a number?

bbe@John:6:12 @And when they had had enough, Jesus said to his disciples, Take up the broken bits which are over, so that nothing may be wasted.

bbe@John:6:13 @So they took them up: twelve baskets full of broken bits of the five cakes which were over after the people had had enough.

bbe@John:6:17 @And they took a boat and went across the sea in the direction of Capernaum. By then it was dark and still Jesus had not come to them.

bbe@John:6:20 @But he said to them, It is I, have no fear.

bbe@John:6:22 @The day after, the people who were on the other side of the sea saw that only one small boat had been there, that Jesus had not gone in that boat with the disciples, but that the disciples had gone away by themselves.

bbe@John:6:29 @Jesus, answering, said to them, This is to do the work of God: to have faith in him whom God has sent.

bbe@John:6:30 @So they said, What sign do you give us, so that we may see and have faith in you? What do you do?

bbe@John:6:31 @Our fathers had the manna in the waste land, as the Writings say, He gave them bread from heaven.

bbe@John:6:32 @Jesus then said to them, Truly I say to you, What Moses gave you was not the bread from heaven; it is my Father who gives you the true bread from heaven.

bbe@John:6:35 @And this was the answer of Jesus: I am the bread of life. He who comes to me will never be in need of food, and he who has faith in me will never be in need of drink.

bbe@John:6:36 @But it is as I said to you: you have seen me, and still you have no faith.

bbe@John:6:39 @And this is the pleasure of him who sent me, that I am not to let out of my hands anything which he has given me, but I am to give it new life on the last day.

bbe@John:6:40 @This, I say, is my Father's pleasure, that everyone who sees the Son and has faith in him may have eternal life: and I will take him up on the last day.

bbe@John:6:41 @Now the Jews said bitter things about Jesus because of his words, I am the bread which came down from heaven.

bbe@John:6:42 @And they said, Is not this Jesus, the son of Joseph, whose father and mother we have seen? How is it then that he now says, I have come down from heaven?

bbe@John:6:45 @The writings of the prophets say, And they will all have teaching from God. Everyone whose ears have been open to the teaching of the Father comes to me.

bbe@John:6:47 @Truly I say to you, He who has faith in me has eternal life.

bbe@John:6:50 @The bread which comes from heaven is such bread that a man may take it for food and never see death.

bbe@John:6:52 @Then the Jews had an angry discussion among themselves, saying, How is it possible for this man to give us his flesh for food?

bbe@John:6:58 @This is the bread which has come down from heaven. It is not like the food which your fathers had: they took of the manna, and are dead; but he who takes this bread for food will have life for ever.

bbe@John:6:63 @The spirit is the life giver; the flesh is of no value: the words which I have said to you are spirit and they are life.

bbe@John:6:64 @But still some of you have no faith. For it was clear to Jesus from the first who they were who had no faith, and who it was who would be false to him.

bbe@John:6:66 @Because of what he said, a number of the disciples went back and would no longer go with him.

bbe@John:6:69 @And we have faith and are certain that you are the Holy One of God.

bbe@John:6:71 @He was talking of Judas, the son of Simon Iscariot. It was he who was to be false to Jesus--one of the twelve.

bbe@John:7:7 @It is not possible for you to be hated by the world; but I am hated by it, because I give witness that what it does is evil.

bbe@John:7:16 @Jesus gave them this answer: It is not my teaching, but his who sent me

bbe@John:7:17 @If any man is ready to do God's pleasure he will have knowledge of the teaching and of where it comes from--from God or from myself.

bbe@John:7:20 @The people said in answer, You have an evil spirit: who has any desire to put you to death?

bbe@John:7:21 @This was the answer of Jesus: I have done one work and you are all surprised at it.

bbe@John:7:22 @Moses gave you circumcision--not that it comes from Moses, but from the fathers--and even on the Sabbath you give a child circumcision.

bbe@John:7:23 @If a child is given circumcision on the Sabbath so that the law of Moses may not be broken, why are you angry with me because I made a man completely well on the Sabbath?

bbe@John:7:26 @And here he is talking openly and they say nothing to him! Is it possible that the rulers have knowledge that this is truly the Christ?

bbe@John:7:27 @However, it is clear to us where this man comes from: but when the Christ comes no one will have knowledge where he comes from.

bbe@John:7:28 @Then, when he was teaching in the Temple, Jesus said with a loud voice, You have knowledge of me and you have knowledge of where I come from; and I have not come of myself; but there is One who has sent me; he is true, but you have no knowledge of him.

bbe@John:7:33 @Then Jesus said, I will be with you a little longer and then I go to him who sent me.

bbe@John:7:37 @On the last day, the great day of the feast, Jesus got up and said in a loud voice, If any man is in need of drink let him come to me and I will give it to him.

bbe@John:7:38 @He who has faith in me, out of his body, as the Writings have said, will come rivers of living water.

bbe@John:7:39 @This he said of the Spirit which would be given to those who had faith in him: the Spirit had not been given then, because the glory of Jesus was still to come.

bbe@John:7:42 @Do not the Writings say that the Christ comes of the seed of David and from Beth-lehem, the little town where David was?

bbe@John:7:45 @Then the servants went back to the chief priests and Pharisees, who said to them, Why have you not got him with you?

bbe@John:7:51 @Is a man judged by our law before it has given him a hearing and has knowledge of what he has done?

bbe@John:8:3 @Now the scribes and Pharisees came, with a woman who had been taken in the act of sinning against the married relation;

bbe@John:8:5 @Now in the law Moses gave directions that such women were to be stoned; what do you say about it?

bbe@John:8:6 @They said this, testing him, so that they might have something against him. But Jesus, with his head bent down, made letters on the floor with his finger.

bbe@John:8:7 @But when they went on with their questions, he got up and said to them, Let him among you who is without sin be the first to send a stone at her.

bbe@John:8:8 @And again, with bent head, he made letters on the floor.

bbe@John:8:9 @And when his words came to their ears, they went out one by one, starting with the oldest even to the last, because they were conscious of what was in their hearts: and Jesus was there by himself with the woman before him.

bbe@John:8:12 @Then again Jesus said to them, I am the light of the world; he who comes with me will not be walking in the dark but will have the light of life.

bbe@John:8:13 @So the Pharisees said to him, The witness you give is about yourself: your witness is not true.

bbe@John:8:14 @Jesus said in answer, Even if I give witness about myself, my witness is true, because I have knowledge of where I came from and where I am going; but you have no knowledge of where I come from or of where I am going.

bbe@John:8:16 @Even if I am judging, my decision is right, because I am not by myself--with me is the Father who sent me.

bbe@John:8:17 @Even in your law it is said that the witness of two men is true.

bbe@John:8:18 @I give witness about myself and the Father who sent me gives witness about me

bbe@John:8:21 @Then he said to them again, I am going away and you will be looking for me, but death will overtake you in your sins. It is not possible for you to come where I am going.

bbe@John:8:22 @So the Jews said, Will he take his life? Is that why he says, Where I go it is not possible for you to come?

bbe@John:8:24 @For this reason I said to you that death will overtake you in your sins: for if you have not faith that I am he, death will come to you while you are in your sins.

bbe@John:8:28 @So Jesus said, When the Son of man has been lifted up by you, then it will be clear to you who I am, and that I do nothing of myself, but say as the Father gave me teaching.

bbe@John:8:29 @He who sent me is with me; he has not gone from me, because at all times I do the things which are pleasing to him.

bbe@John:8:30 @When he said this a number came to have faith in him.

bbe@John:8:31 @Then Jesus said to the Jews who had faith in him, If you keep my word, then you are truly my disciples;

bbe@John:8:40 @But now you have a desire to put me to death, a man who has said to you what is true, as I had it from God: Abraham did not do that.

bbe@John:8:42 @Jesus said to them, If God was your Father you would have love for me, because it was from God I came and am here. I did not come of myself, but he sent me.

bbe@John:8:43 @Why are my words not clear to you? It is because your ears are shut to my teaching.

bbe@John:8:44 @You are the children of your father the Evil One and it is your pleasure to do his desires. From the first he was a taker of life; and he did not go in the true way because there is no true thing in him. When he says what is false, it is natural to him, for he is false and the father of what is false.

bbe@John:8:48 @The Jews said to him in answer, Are we not right in saying that you are of Samaria and have an evil spirit?

bbe@John:8:49 @And this was the answer of Jesus: I have not an evil spirit; but I give honour to my Father and you do not give honour to me.

bbe@John:8:50 @I, however, am not in search of glory for myself: there is One who is searching for it and he is judge.

bbe@John:8:52 @The Jews said to him, Now we are certain that you have an evil spirit. Abraham is dead, and the prophets are dead; and you say, If a man keeps my word he will never see death.

bbe@John:8:54 @Jesus said in answer, If I take glory for myself, my glory is nothing: it is my Father who gives me glory, of whom you say that he is your God.

bbe@John:8:56 @Your father Abraham was full of joy at the hope of seeing my day: he saw it and was glad.

bbe@John:9:2 @And his disciples put a question to him, saying, Master, was it because of this man's sin, or the sin of his father and mother, that he has been blind from birth?

bbe@John:9:3 @Jesus said in answer, It was not because of his sin, or because of his father's or mother's; it was so that the works of God might be seen openly in him.

bbe@John:9:4 @While it is day we have to do the works of him who sent me: the night comes when no work may be done.

bbe@John:9:6 @Having said these words, he put earth, mixed with water from his mouth, on the man's eyes,

bbe@John:9:8 @Then the neighbours and others who had seen him before in the street, with his hand out for money, said, Is not this the man who got money from people?

bbe@John:9:9 @Some said, It is he: others said, No, but he is like him. He said, I am he.

bbe@John:9:11 @His answer was: The man who is named Jesus put earth mixed with water on my eyes, and said to me, Go and make yourself clean in Siloam: so I went away and, after washing, am now able to see.

bbe@John:9:16 @Then some of the Pharisees said, That man has not come from God, for he does not keep the Sabbath. Others said, How is it possible for a sinner to do such signs? So there was a division among them.

bbe@John:9:19 @And put the question to them, saying, Is this your son, of whom you say that he was blind at birth? how is it then that he is now able to see?

bbe@John:9:21 @But how it is he is now able to see, or who made his eyes open, we are not able to say: put the question to him; he is old enough to give an answer for himself.

bbe@John:9:24 @So they sent a second time for the man who had been blind and they said to him, Give glory to God: it is clear to us that this man is a sinner.

bbe@John:9:27 @His answer was: I have said it before, but your ears were shut: why would you have me say it again? is it your desire to become his disciples?

bbe@John:9:28 @And they were angry with him and said, You are his disciple, but we are disciples of Moses.

bbe@John:9:35 @It came to the ears of Jesus that they had put him out, and meeting him he said, Have you faith in the Son of man?

bbe@John:9:36 @He said in answer, And who is he, Lord? Say, so that I may have faith in him.

bbe@John:9:37 @Jesus said to him, You have seen him; it is he who is talking to you.

bbe@John:9:38 @And he said, Lord, I have faith. And he gave him worship.

bbe@John:9:40 @These words came to the ears of the Pharisees who were with him and they said to him, Are we, then, blind?

bbe@John:10:10 @The thief comes only to take the sheep and to put them to death: he comes for their destruction: I have come so that they may have life and have it in greater measure.

bbe@John:10:17 @For this reason am I loved by the Father, because I give up my life so that I may take it again.

bbe@John:10:18 @No one takes it away from me; I give it up of myself. I have power to give it up, and I have power to take it again. These orders I have from my Father.

bbe@John:10:20 @And a number of them said, He has an evil spirit and is out of his mind; why do you give ear to him?

bbe@John:10:21 @Others said, These are not the words of one who has an evil spirit. Is it possible for an evil spirit to make blind people see?

bbe@John:10:22 @Then came the feast of the opening of the Temple in Jerusalem: it was winter;

bbe@John:10:25 @Jesus said in answer, I have said it and you have no belief: the works which I do in my Father's name, these give witness about me.

bbe@John:10:35 @If he said they were gods, to whom the word of God came (and the Writings may not be broken),

bbe@John:10:42 @And a number came to have faith in him there.

bbe@John:11:2 @(The Mary whose brother Lazarus was ill, was the Mary who put perfumed oil on the Lord and made his feet dry with her hair.)

bbe@John:11:4 @When this came to his ears, Jesus said, The end of this disease is not death, but the glory of God, so that the Son of God may have glory because of it.

bbe@John:11:9 @Then Jesus said in answer, Are there not twelve hours in the day? A man may go about in the day without falling, because he sees the light of this world.

bbe@John:11:15 @And because of you I am glad I was not there, so that you may have faith; but let us go to him.

bbe@John:11:16 @Then Thomas, who was named Didymus, said to the other disciples, Let us go so that we may be with him in death.

bbe@John:11:22 @But I am certain that, even now, whatever request you make to God, God will give it to you.

bbe@John:11:25 @Jesus said to her, I am myself that day and that life; he who has faith in me will have life even if he is dead;

bbe@John:11:26 @And no one who is living and has faith in me will ever see death. Is this your faith?

bbe@John:11:27 @She said to him, Yes, Lord: my faith is that you are the Christ, the Son of God, who was to come into the world.

bbe@John:11:31 @Then the Jews who were with her in the house, comforting her, when they saw Mary get up quickly and go out, went after her in the belief that she was going to the place of the dead and would be weeping there.

bbe@John:11:33 @And when Jesus saw her weeping, and saw the Jews weeping who came with her, his spirit was moved and he was troubled,

bbe@John:11:38 @So Jesus, deeply troubled in heart, came to the place of the dead. It was a hole in the rock, and a stone was over the opening.

bbe@John:11:40 @Jesus said to her, Did I not say to you that if you had faith you would see the glory of God?

bbe@John:11:42 @I was certain that your ears are at all times open to me, but I said it because of these who are here, so that they may see that you sent me.

bbe@John:11:44 @And he who was dead came out, with linen bands folded tightly about his hands and feet, and a cloth about his face. Jesus said to them, Make him free and let him go.

bbe@John:11:46 @But some of them went to the Pharisees with the news of what Jesus had done.

bbe@John:11:50 @You do not see that it is in your interest for one man to be put to death for the people, so that all the nation may not come to destruction.

bbe@John:11:52 @And not for that nation only, but for the purpose of uniting in one body the children of God all over the world.

bbe@John:11:54 @So Jesus no longer went about publicly among the Jews, but went from there into the country near to the waste land, to a town named Ephraim, where he was for some time with the disciples.

bbe@John:12:2 @So they made him a meal there, and he was waited on by Martha, and Lazarus was among those who were seated with him at table.

bbe@John:12:3 @Then Mary, taking a pound of perfumed oil of great value, put it on the feet of Jesus and made them dry with her hair: and the house became full of the smell of the perfume.

bbe@John:12:6 @(He said this, not because he had any love for the poor; but because he was a thief, and, having the money-bag, took for himself what was put into it.)

bbe@John:12:8 @The poor you have ever with you, but me you have not for ever.

bbe@John:12:14 @And Jesus saw a young ass and took his seat on it; as the Writings say,

bbe@John:12:16 @(These things were not clear to his disciples at first: but when Jesus had been lifted up into his glory, then it came to their minds that these things in the Writings were about him and that they had been done to him.)

bbe@John:12:17 @Now the people who were with him when his voice came to Lazarus in the place of the dead, and gave him life again, had been talking about it.

bbe@John:12:18 @And that was the reason the people went out to him, because it had come to their ears that he had done this sign.

bbe@John:12:22 @Philip went and gave word of it to Andrew; and Andrew went with Philip to Jesus.

bbe@John:12:24 @Truly I say to you, If a seed of grain does not go into the earth and come to an end, it is still a seed and no more; but through its death it gives much fruit.

bbe@John:12:25 @He who is in love with life will have it taken from him; and he who has no care for his life in this world will keep it for ever and ever.

bbe@John:12:28 @Father, give glory to your name. Then there came a voice out of heaven, saying, I have given it glory, and I will give it glory again.

bbe@John:12:29 @Hearing the sound, a number of people who were there said that it was thunder: others said, An angel was talking to him.

bbe@John:12:34 @Then the people in answer said to him, The law says that the Christ will have life without end: how say you then that it is necessary for the Son of man to be lifted up? Who is this Son of man?

bbe@John:12:35 @Jesus said to them, For a little time longer the light will be among you; while you have the light go on walking in it, so that the dark may not overtake you: one walking in the dark has no knowledge of where he is going.

bbe@John:12:36 @In so far as you have the light, put your faith in the light so that you may become sons of light. With these words Jesus went away and for a time was not seen again by them.

bbe@John:12:38 @So that the words of the prophet Isaiah might come true, when he said, Lord, who has any belief in our preaching? and the arm of the Lord, to whom has it been unveiled?

bbe@John:12:40 @He has made their eyes blind, and their hearts hard; for fear that they might see with their eyes and get knowledge with their hearts, and be changed, and I might make them well.

bbe@John:12:44 @Then Jesus said with a loud voice, He who has faith in me, has faith not in me, but in him who sent me.

bbe@John:12:46 @I have come as a light into the world, so that no one who has faith in me will go on living in the dark.

bbe@John:12:48 @He who puts me on one side and does not take my words to heart, is not without a judge: the word which I have said will be his judge on the last day.

bbe@John:12:49 @For I have not said it on my authority, but the Father who sent me gave me orders what to say and how to say it.

bbe@John:13:1 @Now before the feast of the Passover, it was clear to Jesus that the time had come for him to go away from this world to the Father. Having once had love for those in the world who were his, his love for them went on to the end.

bbe@John:13:2 @So while a meal was going on, the Evil One having now put it into the heart of Judas Iscariot, Simon's son, to be false to him,

bbe@John:13:4 @Got up from table, put off his robe and took a cloth and put it round him.

bbe@John:13:5 @Then he put water into a basin and was washing the feet of the disciples and drying them with the cloth which was round him.

bbe@John:13:7 @And Jesus, answering, said to him, What I do is not clear to you now, but it will be clear to you in time to come.

bbe@John:13:8 @Peter said, I will never let my feet be washed by you, never. Jesus said in answer, If I do not make you clean you have no part with me.

bbe@John:13:14 @If then I, the Lord and the Master, have made your feet clean, it is right for you to make one another's feet clean.

bbe@John:13:18 @I am not talking of you all: I have knowledge of my true disciples, but things are as they are, so that the Writings may come true, The foot of him who takes bread with me is lifted up against me.

bbe@John:13:21 @When Jesus had said this he was troubled in spirit, and gave witness, saying, Truly I say to you, that one of you will be false to me.

bbe@John:13:24 @Making a sign to him, Simon Peter said, Who is it he is talking about?

bbe@John:13:25 @He, then, resting his head on Jesus' breast, said to him, Lord, who is it?

bbe@John:13:26 @This was the answer Jesus gave: It is the one to whom I will give this bit of bread after I have put it in the vessel. Then he took the bit of bread, put it into the vessel, and gave it to Judas, the son of Simon Iscariot.

bbe@John:13:28 @Now it was not clear to anyone at table why he said this to him.

bbe@John:13:30 @So Judas, having taken the bit of bread, straight away went out: and it was night.

bbe@John:13:33 @My dear children, I am only to be with you a little longer. Then you will be looking for me: and as I said to the Jews, so now I say to you, Where I am going you may not come.

bbe@John:13:35 @By this it will be clear to all men that you are my disciples, if you have love one for another.

bbe@John:13:36 @Simon Peter said to him, Lord, where are you going? Jesus said in answer, Where I am going you may not come with me now, but you will come later.

bbe@John:13:37 @Peter said to him, Why may I not come with you even now? I will give up my life for you.

bbe@John:14:1 @Let not your heart be troubled: have faith in God and have faith in me.

bbe@John:14:2 @In my Father's house are rooms enough; if it was not so, would I have said that I am going to make ready a place for you?

bbe@John:14:3 @And if I go and make ready a place for you, I will come back again and will take you to be with me, so that you may be where I am.

bbe@John:14:4 @And you all have knowledge of where I am going, and of the way to it.

bbe@John:14:9 @Jesus said to him, Philip, have I been with you all this time, and still you have no knowledge of me? He who has seen me has seen the Father. Why do you say, Let us see the Father?

bbe@John:14:10 @Have you not faith that I am in the Father and the Father is in me? The words which I say to you, I say not from myself: but the Father who is in me all the time does his works.

bbe@John:14:11 @Have faith that I am in the Father and that the Father is in me: at least, have faith in me because of what I do.

bbe@John:14:12 @Truly I say to you, He who puts his faith in me will do the very works which I do, and he will do greater things than these, because I am going to my Father.

bbe@John:14:14 @If you make any request to me in my name, I will do it.

bbe@John:14:16 @And I will make prayer to the Father and he will give you another Helper to be with you for ever,

bbe@John:14:17 @Even the Spirit of true knowledge

bbe@John:14:18 @I will not let you be without a friend: I am coming to you.

bbe@John:14:19 @A little time longer, and the world will see me no more; but you will see me; and you will be living because I am living.

bbe@John:14:20 @At that time it will be clear to you that I am in my Father, and you are in me, and I in you.

bbe@John:14:21 @He who has my laws and keeps them, he it is who has love for me: and he who has love for me will be loved by my Father, and I will have love for him and will let myself be seen clearly by him.

bbe@John:14:22 @Judas (not Iscariot) said to him, How is it that you will let yourself be seen clearly by us and not by the world?

bbe@John:14:23 @Jesus said to him in answer, If anyone has love for me, he will keep my words: and he will be dear to my Father; and we will come to him and make our living-place with him.

bbe@John:14:25 @I have said all this to you while I am still with you.

bbe@John:14:26 @But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, will be your teacher in all things and will put you in mind of everything I have said to you.

bbe@John:14:27 @May peace be with you; my peace I give to you: I give it not as the world gives. Let not your heart be troubled; let it be without fear.

bbe@John:14:29 @And now I have given you word of it before it comes, so that, when it comes, you may have faith.

bbe@John:15:2 @He takes away every branch in me which has no fruit, and every branch which has fruit he makes clean, so that it may have more fruit.

bbe@John:15:4 @Be in me at all times as I am in you. As the branch is not able to give fruit of itself, if it is not still on the vine, so you are not able to do so if you are not in me.

bbe@John:15:5 @I am the vine, you are the branches: he who is in me at all times as I am in him, gives much fruit, because without me you are able to do nothing.

bbe@John:15:8 @Here is my Father's glory, in that you give much fruit and so are my true disciples.

bbe@John:15:15 @No longer do I give you the name of servants; because a servant is without knowledge of what his master is doing: I give you the name of friends, because I have given you knowledge of all the things which my Father has said to me.

bbe@John:15:16 @You did not take me for yourselves, but I took you for myself; and I gave you the work of going about and producing fruit which will be for ever; so that whatever request you make to the Father in my name he may give it to you.

bbe@John:15:25 @This comes about so that the writing in their law may be made true, Their hate for me was without cause.

bbe@John:15:26 @When the Helper comes, whom I will send to you from the Father even the Spirit of true knowledge who comes from the Father--he will give witness about me;

bbe@John:15:27 @And you, in addition, will give witness because you have been with me from the first.

bbe@John:16:4 @I have said these things to you so that when the time comes, what I have said may come to your mind. I did not say them to you at the first, because then I was still with you.

bbe@John:16:9 @Of sin, because they have not faith in me;

bbe@John:16:12 @I have still much to say to you, but you are not strong enough for it now.

bbe@John:16:13 @However, when he, the Spirit of true knowledge, has come, he will be your guide into all true knowledge: for his words will not come from himself, but whatever has come to his hearing, that he will say: and he will make clear to you the things to come.

bbe@John:16:14 @He will give me glory, because he will take of what is mine, and make it clear to you.

bbe@John:16:15 @Everything which the Father has is mine: that is why I say, He will take of what is mine and will make it clear to you.

bbe@John:16:16 @After a little time you will see me no longer; and then again, after a little time, you will see me.

bbe@John:16:17 @So some of the disciples said one to another, What is this he is saying, After a little time, you will see me no longer; and then again, after a little time, you will see me? and, I am going to the Father?

bbe@John:16:18 @So they said again and again, What is this he is saying, A little time? His words are not clear to us.

bbe@John:16:19 @Jesus saw that they had a desire to put the question to him, so he said to them, Is this what you are questioning one with another, why I said, After a little time, you will see me no longer; and then again, after a little time, you will see me?

bbe@John:16:23 @And on that day you will put no questions to me. Truly I say to you, Whatever request you make to the Father, he will give it to you in my name.

bbe@John:16:24 @Up to now you have made no request in my name: do so, and it will be answered, so that your hearts may be full of joy.

bbe@John:16:27 @For the Father himself gives his love to you, because you have given your love to me and have had faith that I came from God.

bbe@John:16:30 @Now we are certain that you have knowledge of all things and have no need for anyone to put questions to you: through this we have faith that you came from God.

bbe@John:16:31 @Jesus made answer, Have you faith now?

bbe@John:16:32 @See, a time is coming, yes, it is now here, when you will go away in all directions, every man to his house, and I will be by myself: but I am not by myself, because the Father is with me.

bbe@John:17:2 @Even as you gave him authority over all flesh, to give eternal life to all those whom you have given to him.

bbe@John:17:5 @And now, Father, let me have glory with you, even that glory which I had with you before the world was.

bbe@John:17:7 @Now it is clear to them that whatever you have given to me comes from you:

bbe@John:17:8 @Because I have given them the words which you gave to me; and they have taken them to heart, and have certain knowledge that I came from you, and they have faith that you sent me.

bbe@John:17:12 @While I was with them I kept them safe in your name which you have given to me: I took care of them and not one of them has come to destruction, but only the son of destruction, so that the Writings might come true.

bbe@John:17:20 @My prayer is not for them only, but for all who will have faith in me through their word;

bbe@John:17:21 @May they all be one! Even as you, Father, are in me and I am in you, so let them be in us, so that all men may come to have faith that you sent me.

bbe@John:17:23 @I in them, and you in me, so that they may be made completely one, and so that it may become clear to all men that you have sent me and that they are loved by you as I am loved by you

bbe@John:17:24 @Father, it is my desire that these whom you have given to me may be by my side where I am, so that they may see my glory which you have given to me, because you had love for me before the world came into being.

bbe@John:17:25 @Father of righteousness, I have knowledge of you, though the world has not; and to these it is clear that you sent me;

bbe@John:17:26 @And I have given to them knowledge of your name, and will give it, so that the love which you have for me may be in them and I in them.

bbe@John:18:1 @When Jesus had said these words he went out with his disciples over the stream Kedron to a garden, into which he went with his disciples.

bbe@John:18:2 @And Judas, who was false to him, had knowledge of the place because Jesus went there frequently with his disciples.

bbe@John:18:3 @So Judas, getting a band of armed men and police from the chief priests and Pharisees, went there with lights and with arms.

bbe@John:18:10 @Then Simon Peter, who had a sword, took it out and gave the high priest's servant a blow, cutting off his right ear

bbe@John:18:14 @It was Caiaphas who had said to the Jews that it was in their interest for one man to be put to death for the people.

bbe@John:18:15 @And Simon Peter went after Jesus with another disciple. Now that disciple was a friend of the high priest and he went in with Jesus into the house of the high priest;

bbe@John:18:16 @But Peter was kept outside at the door. Then this other disciple, who was a friend of the high priest, came out and had a word with the girl who kept the door, and took Peter in.

bbe@John:18:18 @Now the servants and the police had made a fire of coals because it was cold; they were warming themselves in front of it and Peter was there with them, warming himself.

bbe@John:18:22 @When he said this, one of the police by his side gave him a blow with his open hand, saying, Do you give such an answer to the high priest?

bbe@John:18:23 @Jesus said in answer, If I have said anything evil, give witness to the evil: but if I said what is true, why do you give me blows?

bbe@John:18:26 @One of the servants of the high priest, a relation of him whose ear had been cut off by Peter, said, Did I not see you with him in the garden?

bbe@John:18:27 @Then again Peter said, No. And straight away a cock gave its cry.

bbe@John:18:28 @So they took Jesus from the house of Caiaphas to the Praetorium. It was early. They themselves did not go into the Praetorium, so that they might not become unclean, but might take the Passover.

bbe@John:18:34 @Jesus made answer, Do you say this of yourself, or did others say it about me?

bbe@John:18:37 @Then Pilate said to him, Are you then a king? Jesus made answer, You say that I am a king. For this purpose was I given birth, and for this purpose I came into the world, that I might give witness to what is true. Every lover of what is true gives ear to my voice.

bbe@John:18:39 @But every year you make a request to me to let a prisoner go free at the Passover. Is it your desire that I let the King of the Jews go free?

bbe@John:19:1 @Then Pilate took Jesus and had him whipped with cords.

bbe@John:19:2 @And the men of the army made a crown of thorns and put it on his head, and they put a purple robe on him.

bbe@John:19:3 @And they kept coming and saying, Long life to the King of the Jews! And they gave him blows with their hands.

bbe@John:19:4 @And Pilate went out again and said to them, See, I let him come out to you to make it clear to you that I see no wrong in him.

bbe@John:19:5 @Then Jesus came out with the crown of thorns and the purple robe. And Pilate said to them, Here is the man!

bbe@John:19:7 @And the Jews made answer, We have a law, and by that law it is right for him to be put to death because he said he was the Son of God.

bbe@John:19:10 @Then Pilate said to him, You say nothing to me? is it not clear to you that I have power to let you go free and power to put you to death on the cross?

bbe@John:19:11 @Jesus gave this answer: You would have no power at all over me if it was not given to you by God; so that he who gave me up to you has the greater sin.

bbe@John:19:14 @(It was the day when they made ready for the Passover; and it was about the sixth hour.) And he said to the Jews, There is your King!

bbe@John:19:15 @Then they gave a loud cry, Away with him! away with him! to the cross! Pilate said to them, Am I to put your King to death on the cross? The chief priests said in answer, We have no king but Caesar.

bbe@John:19:17 @And he went out with his cross on him to the place which is named Dead Man's Head (in Hebrew, Golgotha):

bbe@John:19:18 @Where they put him on the cross with two others, one on this side and one on that, and Jesus in the middle.

bbe@John:19:19 @And Pilate put on the cross a statement in writing. The writing was: JESUS THE NAZARENE, THE KING OF THE JEWS.

bbe@John:19:20 @The writing was seen by a number of the Jews, for the place where Jesus was put to death on the cross was near the town; and the writing was in Hebrew and Latin and Greek.

bbe@John:19:22 @But Pilate made answer, What I have put in writing will not be changed.

bbe@John:19:23 @And when Jesus was nailed to the cross, the men of the army took his clothing, and made a division of it into four parts, to every man a part, and they took his coat: now the coat was without a join, made out of one bit of cloth.

bbe@John:19:24 @So they said among themselves, Let this not be cut up, but let us put it to the decision of chance and see who gets it. (They did this so that the Writings might come true, which say, They made a distribution of my clothing among them, and my coat they put to the decision of chance.) This was what the men of the army did.

bbe@John:19:28 @After this, being conscious that all things had now been done so that the Writings might come true, Jesus said, Give me water.

bbe@John:19:29 @Now there was a vessel ready, full of bitter wine, and they put a sponge full of it on a stick and put it to his mouth.

bbe@John:19:30 @So when Jesus had taken the wine he said, All is done. And with his head bent he gave up his spirit.

bbe@John:19:31 @Now it was the day of getting ready for the Passover, and so that the bodies might not be on the cross on the Sabbath (because the day of that Sabbath was a great day), the Jews made a request to Pilate that their legs might be broken, and that they might be taken away.

bbe@John:19:32 @So the men of the army came, and the legs of the first were broken and then of the other who was put to death on the cross with Jesus:

bbe@John:19:34 @But one of the men made a wound in his side with a spear, and straight away there came out blood and water.

bbe@John:19:35 @And he who saw it has given witness (and his witness is true; he is certain that what he says is true) so that you may have belief.

bbe@John:19:36 @These things came about so that the Writings might be true, No bone of his body will be broken.

bbe@John:19:39 @And Nicodemus came (he who had first come to Jesus by night) with a roll of myrrh and aloes mixed, about a hundred pounds.

bbe@John:19:40 @Then they took the body of Jesus, folding linen about it with the spices, as is the way of the Jews when they put the dead to rest.

bbe@John:19:42 @So they put Jesus there, because it was the Jews' day of getting ready for the Passover, and the place was near.

bbe@John:20:1 @Now on the first day of the week, very early, while it was still dark, Mary Magdalene came to the place and saw that the stone had been taken away from it.

bbe@John:20:7 @And the cloth, which had been round his head, not with the linen bands but rolled up in a place by itself.

bbe@John:20:9 @For at that time they had no knowledge that the Writings said that he would have to come again from the dead.

bbe@John:20:12 @She saw two angels in white seated where the body of Jesus had been, one at the head and the other at the feet

bbe@John:20:14 @And then looking round, she saw Jesus there, but had no idea that it was Jesus.

bbe@John:20:18 @Mary Magdalene went with the news to the disciples, and said she had seen the Lord and that he had said these things to her.

bbe@John:20:19 @At evening on that day, the first day of the week, when, for fear of the Jews, the doors were shut where the disciples were, Jesus came among them and said to them, May peace be with you!

bbe@John:20:21 @And Jesus said to them again, May peace be with you! As the Father sent me, even so I now send you.

bbe@John:20:22 @And when he had said this, breathing on them, he said to them, Let the Holy Spirit come on you:

bbe@John:20:24 @Now Thomas, one of the twelve, named Didymus, was not with them when Jesus came.

bbe@John:20:26 @And after eight days, his disciples were again in the house and Thomas was with them. Though the doors were shut, Jesus came, and taking his place in the middle of them, he said, May peace be with you!

bbe@John:20:31 @But these are recorded, so that you may have faith that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and so that, having this faith you may have life in his name.

bbe@John:21:1 @After these things Jesus let himself be seen again by the disciples at the sea of Tiberias; and it came about in this way.

bbe@John:21:3 @Simon Peter said to them, I am going fishing. They said to him, And we will come with you. They went out and got into the boat; but that night they took no fish.

bbe@John:21:4 @Now very early in the morning Jesus was there by the edge of the sea (though the disciples were not conscious that it was Jesus).

bbe@John:21:6 @And he said to them, Let down the net on the right side of the boat and you will get some. So they put it in the water and now they were not able to get it up again because of the great number of fish.

bbe@John:21:7 @So the disciple who was dear to Jesus said to Peter, It is the Lord! Hearing that it was the Lord, Peter put his coat round him (because he was not clothed) and went into the sea.

bbe@John:21:8 @And the other disciples came in the little boat (they were not far from land, only about two hundred cubits off) pulling the net full of fish.

bbe@John:21:9 @When they got to land, they saw a fire of coals there, with fish cooking on it, and bread.

bbe@John:21:12 @Jesus said to them, Come and take some food. And all the disciples were in fear of putting the question, Who are you? being conscious that it was the Lord.

bbe@John:21:13 @Then Jesus came and took the bread and gave it to them, and the fish in the same way.

bbe@John:21:20 @Then Peter, turning round, saw the disciple who was dear to Jesus coming after them--the disciple who was resting on his breast at the last meal, and said, Lord, who is it who will be false to you?

bbe@John:21:22 @Jesus said to him, If it is my desire for him to be here till I come back, what is that to you? come yourself after me.

bbe@John:21:23 @So this saying went about among the brothers that this disciple would not undergo death: Jesus, however, did not say that he would not undergo death, but, If it is my desire for him to be here till I come back, what is that to you?

bbe@John:21:24 @This is the disciple who gives witness about these things and who put them in writing: and we have knowledge that his witness is true.

bbe@John:21:25 @And Jesus did such a number of other things that, if every one was recorded, it is my opinion that even the world itself is not great enough for the books there would be.

bbe@Acts:1:2 @Till the day when he was taken up to heaven after he had given his orders, through the Holy Spirit, to the Apostles of whom he had made selection:

bbe@Acts:1:4 @And when they were all together, with him, he gave them orders not to go away from Jerusalem, but to keep there, waiting till the word of the Father was put into effect, of which, he said, I have given you knowledge:

bbe@Acts:1:5 @For the baptism of John was with water, but you will have baptism with the Holy Spirit, after a little time.

bbe@Acts:1:7 @And he said to them, It is not for you to have knowledge of the time and the order of events which the Father has kept in his control.

bbe@Acts:1:8 @But you will have power, when the Holy Spirit has come on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem and all Judaea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.

bbe@Acts:1:10 @And while they were looking up to heaven with great attention, two men came to them, in white clothing,

bbe@Acts:1:14 @And they all with one mind gave themselves up to prayer, with the women, and Mary the mother of Jesus, and his brothers.

bbe@Acts:1:16 @My brothers, the word of God had to be put into effect, which the Holy Spirit had said before, by the mouth of David, about Judas, who was guide to those who took Jesus,

bbe@Acts:1:18 @(Now this man, with the reward of his evil-doing, got for himself a field, and falling head first, came to a sudden and violent end there.

bbe@Acts:1:20 @For in the book of Psalms it says, Let his house be waste, and let no man be living in it: and, Let his position be taken by another.

bbe@Acts:1:21 @For this reason, of the men who have been with us all the time, while the Lord Jesus went in and out among us,

bbe@Acts:1:22 @Starting from the baptism of John till he went up from us, one will have to be a witness with us of his coming back from death.

bbe@Acts:1:25 @To take that position as a servant and Apostle, from which Judas by his sin was shut out, so that he might go to his place.

bbe@Acts:1:26 @And they put it to the decision of chance, and the decision was given for Matthias, and he was numbered with the eleven Apostles.

bbe@Acts:2:2 @And suddenly there came from heaven a sound like the rushing of a violent wind, and all the house where they were was full of it.

bbe@Acts:2:4 @And they were all full of the Holy Spirit, and were talking in different languages, as the Spirit gave them power.

bbe@Acts:2:8 @And how is it that every one of us is hearing their words in the language which was ours from our birth?

bbe@Acts:2:14 @But Peter, getting up, with the eleven, said in a loud voice, O men of Judaea, and all you who are living in Jerusalem, take note of this and give ear to my words.

bbe@Acts:2:15 @For these men are not overcome with wine, as it seems to you, for it is only the third hour of the day;

bbe@Acts:2:17 @And it will come about, in the last days, says God, that I will send out my Spirit on all flesh; and your sons and your daughters will be prophets, and your young men will see visions, and your old men will have dreams:

bbe@Acts:2:18 @And on my men-servants and my women-servants I will send my Spirit, and they will be prophets.

bbe@Acts:2:24 @But God gave him back to life, having made him free from the pains of death because it was not possible for him to be overcome by it.

bbe@Acts:2:29 @My brothers, I may say to you openly that David came to his death, and was put in the earth, and his resting-place is with us today.

bbe@Acts:2:30 @But being a prophet, and having in mind the oath which God had given to him, that of the fruit of his body one would take his place as a king,

bbe@Acts:2:32 @This Jesus God has given back to life, of which we all are witnesses.

bbe@Acts:2:33 @And so, being lifted up to the right hand of God, and having the Father's word that the Holy Spirit would come, he has sent this thing, which now you see and have knowledge of.

bbe@Acts:2:38 @And Peter said, Let your hearts be changed, every one of you, and have baptism in the name of Jesus Christ, for the forgiveness of your sins; and you will have the Holy Spirit given to you.

bbe@Acts:2:40 @And with more such words he gave his witness, offering them salvation and saying, Come out from this evil generation.

bbe@Acts:2:42 @And they kept their attention fixed on the Apostles' teaching and were united together in the taking of broken bread and in prayer.

bbe@Acts:2:44 @And all those who were of the faith kept together, and had all things in common;

bbe@Acts:2:45 @And exchanging their goods and property for money, they made division of it among them all, as they had need.

bbe@Acts:2:46 @And day by day, going in agreement together regularly to the Temple and, taking broken bread together in their houses, they took their food with joy and with true hearts,

bbe@Acts:3:4 @And Peter, looking at him, with John, said, Keep your eyes on us.

bbe@Acts:3:8 @And, jumping up, he got on to his feet and went into the Temple with them, walking and jumping and giving praise to God.

bbe@Acts:3:10 @And they saw that it was the man who made requests for money at the door of the Temple, and they were full of wonder and surprise at what had taken place

bbe@Acts:3:12 @And when Peter saw it he said to the people, You men of Israel, why are you so greatly surprised at this man? or why are you looking at us as if by our power or virtue we had given him the use of his legs?

bbe@Acts:3:14 @But you would have nothing to do with the Holy and Upright One, and made request for a man of blood to be given to you,

bbe@Acts:3:15 @And put to death the Lord of life; whom God gave back from the dead; of which fact we are witnesses.

bbe@Acts:3:16 @And his name, through faith in his name, has made this man strong, whom you see and have knowledge of: yes, the faith which is through him has made him well, before you all.

bbe@Acts:3:17 @And now, my brothers, I am conscious that you did this, as did your rulers, without knowledge.

bbe@Acts:3:25 @You are the sons of the prophets, and of the agreement which God made with your fathers, saying to Abraham, Through your seed a blessing will come on all the families of the earth.

bbe@Acts:4:3 @And they took them and put them in prison till the morning, for it was now evening.

bbe@Acts:4:4 @But a number of those who gave hearing to the word had faith; and they were now about five thousand.

bbe@Acts:4:5 @And on the day after, the rulers and those in authority and the scribes came together in Jerusalem;

bbe@Acts:4:8 @Then Peter, being full of the Holy Spirit, said to them, O you rulers of the people and men of authority,

bbe@Acts:4:13 @Now when they saw that Peter and John were without fear, though they were men of no education or learning, they were greatly surprised; and they took note of them that they had been with Jesus.

bbe@Acts:4:14 @And, seeing that the man who had been made well was there with them, they were not able to say anything against it.

bbe@Acts:4:16 @Saying, What are we to do with these men? for certainly it is clear to all who are living in Jerusalem that a most important sign has been done by them, and it is not possible to say that it is not so.

bbe@Acts:4:17 @But so that it may not go farther among the people, let us put them in fear of punishment if they say anything in future in this name.

bbe@Acts:4:19 @But Peter and John in answer said to them, It is for you to say if it is right in the eyes of God to give attention to you more than to God:

bbe@Acts:4:20 @For it is not possible for us to keep from saying what we have seen and have knowledge of.

bbe@Acts:4:23 @And when they had been made free, they came back to their friends, and gave an account of all the things which the chief priests and the authorities had said to them.

bbe@Acts:4:24 @And hearing it, they all, with one mind, made prayer to God and said, O Lord, maker of heaven and earth and the sea and all things in them:

bbe@Acts:4:25 @Who has said, by the Holy Spirit, through the mouth of our father David your servant, Why are the nations so violently moved, and why are the thoughts of the people so foolish?

bbe@Acts:4:27 @For, truly, in this town, against your holy servant, Jesus, who was marked out by you as Christ, Herod, and Pontius Pilate, with the Gentiles and the people of Israel, came together,

bbe@Acts:4:29 @And now, Lord, take note of their cruel words, and give your servants power to be preachers of your word without fear,

bbe@Acts:4:31 @And when their prayer was ended, the place where they were was violently moved, and they all became full of the Holy Spirit, preaching the word of God without fear.

bbe@Acts:4:32 @And all those who were of the faith were one in heart and soul: and not one of them said that any of the things which he had was his property only; but they had all things in common.

bbe@Acts:4:33 @And with great power the Apostles gave witness of the coming back of the Lord Jesus from the dead; and grace was on them all.

bbe@Acts:4:35 @And put it at the feet of the Apostles for distribution to everyone as he had need.

bbe@Acts:4:36 @And Joseph, who was given by the Apostles the name of Barnabas (the sense of which is, Son of comfort), a Levite and a man of Cyprus by birth,

bbe@Acts:4:37 @Having a field, got money for it and put the money at the feet of the Apostles.

bbe@Acts:5:1 @But a certain man named Ananias, with Sapphira his wife, got money for his property,

bbe@Acts:5:2 @And kept back part of the price, his wife having knowledge of it, and took the rest and put it at the feet of the Apostles.

bbe@Acts:5:3 @But Peter said, Ananias, why has the Evil One put it into your heart to be false to the Holy Spirit, and to keep back part of the price of the land?

bbe@Acts:5:4 @While you had it, was it not your property? and after you had given it in exchange, was it not still in your power? how has this purpose come into your mind? you have been false, not to men, but to God.

bbe@Acts:5:6 @And the young men went and made ready his body, and took it out, and put it in the earth.

bbe@Acts:5:8 @And Peter said to her, Give me an answer: was this amount of money the price of the land? And she said, Yes, it was.

bbe@Acts:5:9 @But Peter said to her, Why have you made an agreement together to be false to the Spirit of the Lord? See, the feet of the young men who have put the body of your husband in the earth, are at the door, and they will take you out.

bbe@Acts:5:10 @And straight away she went down at his feet, and her life went from her: and the young men came in and saw her dead, and they took her out and put her in the earth with her husband.

bbe@Acts:5:14 @And a great number of men and women had faith, and were joined to the Lord;

bbe@Acts:5:16 @And numbers of people came together from the towns round about Jerusalem, with those who were ill and those who were troubled with unclean spirits: and they were all made well.

bbe@Acts:5:17 @But the high priest and those who were with him (the Sadducees) were full of envy,

bbe@Acts:5:21 @And hearing this, they went into the Temple at dawn, and were teaching. But the high priest and those who were with him got together the Sanhedrin and the representatives of the children of Israel, and sent to the prison to get them.

bbe@Acts:5:22 @But the men who were sent saw that they were not in the prison, and came back with the news,

bbe@Acts:5:32 @And we are witnesses of these things, and so is the Holy Spirit, whom God has given to those who keep his laws.

bbe@Acts:5:34 @But one of the Sanhedrin, a Pharisee named Gamaliel, a man of learning in the law, of whom all the people had a high opinion, got up and made a suggestion for the men to be put outside for a little time.

bbe@Acts:5:38 @And now I say to you, Do nothing to these men, but let them be: for if this teaching or this work is of men, it will come to nothing:

bbe@Acts:5:39 @But if it is of God, you will not be able to overcome them, and you are in danger of fighting against God.

bbe@Acts:6:2 @And the Apostles sent for all the disciples and said, It is not right for us to give up preaching the word of God in order to make distribution of food.

bbe@Acts:6:3 @Take then from among you seven men of good name, full of the Spirit and of wisdom, to whom we may give control of this business.

bbe@Acts:6:5 @And this saying was pleasing to all of them: and they made selection of Stephen, a man full of faith and of the Holy Spirit, and Philip and Prochorus and Nicanor and Timon and Parmenas and Nicolas of Antioch, who had become a Jew:

bbe@Acts:6:7 @And the word of God was increasing in power; and the number of the disciples in Jerusalem became very great, and a great number of priests were in agreement with the faith.

bbe@Acts:6:9 @But some of those who were of the Synagogue named that of the Libertines, and some of the men of Cyrene and of Alexandria and those from Cilicia and Asia, had arguments with Stephen.

bbe@Acts:6:10 @But they were not able to get the better of him, for his words were full of wisdom and of the Spirit.

bbe@Acts:6:12 @And the people, with the rulers and the scribes, were moved against him, and they came and took him before the Sanhedrin,

bbe@Acts:6:13 @And they got false witnesses who said, This man is for ever saying things against this holy place and against the law:

bbe@Acts:7:5 @And God gave him no heritage in it, not even enough to put his foot on: but he gave him an undertaking that he would give it to him and to his children after him, though he had no child at that time.

bbe@Acts:7:8 @And he made with him the agreement of which circumcision was the sign. And so Abraham had a son, Isaac, and gave him circumcision on the eighth day; and Isaac had a son, Jacob, and Jacob was the father of the twelve heads of the families of Israel.

bbe@Acts:7:9 @And the brothers, moved with envy against Joseph, gave him to the Egyptians for money: but God was with him,

bbe@Acts:7:13 @And the second time his brothers had a meeting with Joseph, and Pharaoh had knowledge of Joseph's family.

bbe@Acts:7:23 @But when he was almost forty years old, it came into his heart to go and see his brothers, the children of Israel.

bbe@Acts:7:31 @And Moses, seeing it, was full of wonder, and when he came up to have a nearer view of it, the voice of the Lord came to him, saying,

bbe@Acts:7:32 @I am the God of your fathers, the God of Abraham and of Isaac and of Jacob. And Moses, shaking with fear, kept his eyes from looking at it.

bbe@Acts:7:38 @This is the man who was in the church in the waste land with the angel who was talking to him in Sinai, and with our fathers; and to him were given the living words of God, so that he might give them to you.

bbe@Acts:7:41 @And they made the image of a young ox in those days, and made an offering to it, and had joy in the work of their hands.

bbe@Acts:7:42 @But God was turned from them and let them give worship to the stars of heaven, as it says in the book of the prophets, Did you make offerings to me of sheep and oxen for forty years in the waste land, O house of Israel?

bbe@Acts:7:44 @Our fathers had the Tent of witness in the waste land, as God gave orders to Moses to make it after the design which he had seen.

bbe@Acts:7:45 @Which our fathers, in their turn, took with them when, with Joshua, they came into the heritage of the nations whom God was driving out before the face of our fathers, till the time of David,

bbe@Acts:7:48 @But still, the Most High has not his resting-place in houses made with hands, as the prophet says,

bbe@Acts:7:51 @You whose hearts are hard and whose ears are shut to me; you are ever working against the Holy Spirit; as your fathers did, so do you.

bbe@Acts:7:53 @You, to whom the law was given as it was ordered by angels, and who have not kept it.

bbe@Acts:7:54 @Hearing these things, they were cut to the heart and moved with wrath against him.

bbe@Acts:7:55 @But he was full of the Holy Spirit, and looking up to heaven, he saw the glory of God and Jesus at the right hand of God.

bbe@Acts:7:57 @But with loud cries, and stopping their ears, they made an attack on him all together,

bbe@Acts:7:58 @Driving him out of the town and stoning him: and the witnesses put their clothing at the feet of a young man named Saul.

bbe@Acts:7:59 @And Stephen, while he was being stoned, made prayer to God, saying, Lord Jesus, take my spirit.

bbe@Acts:8:2 @And God-fearing men put Stephen's body in its last resting-place, making great weeping over him.

bbe@Acts:8:3 @But Saul was burning with hate against the church, going into every house and taking men and women and putting them in prison.

bbe@Acts:8:7 @For unclean spirits came out from those who had them, crying with a loud voice; and a number of those who were ill and broken in body were made well.

bbe@Acts:8:12 @But when they had faith in the good news given by Philip about the kingdom of God and the name of Jesus Christ, a number of men and women had baptism.

bbe@Acts:8:13 @And Simon himself had faith and, having had baptism, he went with Philip and, seeing the signs and the great wonders which he did, he was full of surprise.

bbe@Acts:8:15 @Who, when they came there, made prayer for them, that the Holy Spirit might be given to them:

bbe@Acts:8:17 @Then they put their hands on them, and the Holy Spirit came on them.

bbe@Acts:8:18 @Now when Simon saw that the Holy Spirit was given through the touch of the Apostles' hands, he made them an offering of money, saying,

bbe@Acts:8:19 @Give me this power, so that when I put my hands on anyone he may get the Holy Spirit.

bbe@Acts:8:20 @But Peter said, May your money come to destruction with you, because you had the idea that what is freely given by God may be got for a price.

bbe@Acts:8:23 @For I see that you are prisoned in bitter envy and the chains of sin.

bbe@Acts:8:25 @So they, having given their witness and made clear the word of the Lord, went back to Jerusalem, giving the good news on their way in a number of the small towns of Samaria.

bbe@Acts:8:27 @And he went and there was a man of Ethiopia, a servant of great authority under Candace, queen of the Ethiopians, and controller of all her property, who had come up to Jerusalem for worship;

bbe@Acts:8:29 @And the Spirit said to Philip, Go near, and get on his carriage.

bbe@Acts:8:32 @Now the place in the book where he was reading was this: He was taken, like a sheep, to be put to death; and as a lamb is quiet when its wool is being cut, so he made no sound:

bbe@Acts:8:35 @So Philip, starting from this writing, gave him the good news about Jesus.

bbe@Acts:8:39 @And when they came up out of the water, the Spirit of the Lord took Philip away; and the Ethiopian saw him no more, for he went on his way full of joy.

bbe@Acts:9:1 @But Saul, still burning with desire to put to death the disciples of the Lord, went to the high priest,

bbe@Acts:9:6 @But get up, and go into the town, and it will be made clear to you what you have to do.

bbe@Acts:9:7 @And the men who were with him were not able to say anything; hearing the voice, but seeing no one.

bbe@Acts:9:14 @And here he has authority from the chief priests to make prisoners all who give worship to your name.

bbe@Acts:9:15 @But the Lord said, Go without fear: for he is a special vessel for me, to give to the Gentiles and kings and to the children of Israel the knowledge of my name:

bbe@Acts:9:17 @And Ananias went out and came to the house, and putting his hands on him, said, Brother Saul, the Lord Jesus, whom you saw when you were on your journey, has sent me, so that you may be able to see, and be full of the Holy Spirit.

bbe@Acts:9:18 @And straight away it seemed as if a veil was taken from his eyes, and he was able to see; and he got up, and had baptism;

bbe@Acts:9:19 @And when he had taken food his strength came back. And for some days he kept with the disciples who were in Damascus.

bbe@Acts:9:22 @But Saul went on increasing in power, and the Jews in Damascus were not able to give answers to the arguments by which he made it clear that Jesus was the Christ.

bbe@Acts:9:27 @But Barnabas took him to the Apostles and gave them an account of how he had seen the Lord on the road, and had given hearing to his words, and how at Damascus he had been preaching in the name of Jesus without fear.

bbe@Acts:9:28 @And he was with them, going in and out at Jerusalem,

bbe@Acts:9:29 @Preaching in the name of the Lord without fear; and he had discussions with the Greek Jews; but they were working for his death.

bbe@Acts:9:30 @And when the brothers had knowledge of it, they took him to Caesarea and sent him to Tarsus.

bbe@Acts:9:31 @And so the church through all Judaea and Galilee and Samaria had peace and was made strong; and, living in the fear of the Lord and in the comfort of the Holy Spirit, was increased greatly.

bbe@Acts:9:32 @And it came about that while Peter was going through all parts of the country he came to the saints who were living at Lydda.

bbe@Acts:9:33 @And there was a certain man there, named Aeneas, who for eight years had been in bed, without power of moving.

bbe@Acts:9:36 @Now there was at Joppa a certain disciple named Tabitha, that is, Dorcas: this woman was given to good works and acts of mercy at all times.

bbe@Acts:9:37 @And it came about, in those days, that she got ill and came to her death: and when she had been washed, they put her in a room which was high up.

bbe@Acts:9:39 @And Peter went with them. And when he had come, they took him into the room: and all the widows were there, weeping and putting before him the coats and clothing which Dorcas had made while she was with them.

bbe@Acts:9:40 @But Peter made them all go outside, and went down on his knees in prayer; and turning to the body, he said, Tabitha, get up. And, opening her eyes, she saw Peter and got up.

bbe@Acts:9:42 @And news of it went all through Joppa, and a number of people had faith in the Lord.

bbe@Acts:9:43 @And he was living in Joppa for some time with Simon, a leather-worker.

bbe@Acts:10:1 @Now there was a certain man in Caesarea, named Cornelius, the captain of the Italian band of the army;

bbe@Acts:10:2 @A serious-minded man, fearing God with all his family; he gave much money to the poor, and made prayer to God at all times.

bbe@Acts:10:4 @And he, looking on him in fear, said, What is it, Lord? And he said to him, Your prayers and your offerings have come up to God, and he has kept them in mind.

bbe@Acts:10:6 @Who is living with Simon, a leather-worker, whose house is by the sea.

bbe@Acts:10:7 @And when the angel who said these words to him had gone away, he sent for two of his house-servants, and a God-fearing man of the army, one of those who were waiting on him at all times;

bbe@Acts:10:10 @And he was in need of food: but while they were getting it ready, a deep sleep came on him;

bbe@Acts:10:19 @And, while Peter was turning the vision over in his mind, the Spirit said to him, See, three men are looking for you.

bbe@Acts:10:20 @Go down, then, and go with them, doubting nothing, for I have sent them.

bbe@Acts:10:23 @So he took them in for the night. And the day after, he went with them, taking some of the brothers from Joppa with him.

bbe@Acts:10:24 @And the day after that, they came to Caesarea. And Cornelius was waiting for them, having got together his relations and his near friends.

bbe@Acts:10:28 @And he said to them, You yourselves have knowledge that it is against the law for a man who is a Jew to be in the company of one who is of another nation; but God has made it clear to me that no man may be named common or unclean:

bbe@Acts:10:29 @And so I came without question, when I was sent for. What then is your purpose in sending for me?

bbe@Acts:10:38 @About Jesus of Nazareth, how God gave the Holy Spirit to him, with power: and how he went about doing good and making well all who were troubled by evil spirits, for God was with him.

bbe@Acts:10:39 @And we are witnesses of all the things which he did in the country of the Jews and in Jerusalem; whom they put to death, hanging him on a tree.

bbe@Acts:10:41 @Not by all the people, but by witnesses marked out before by God, even by us, who took food and drink with him after he came back from the dead.

bbe@Acts:10:42 @And he gave us orders to give news of this to the people, and to give public witness that this is he whom God has made judge of the living and the dead.

bbe@Acts:10:43 @To him all the prophets give witness, that through his name everyone who has faith in him will have forgiveness of sins.

bbe@Acts:10:44 @While Peter was saying these words, the Holy Spirit came on all those who were hearing the word.

bbe@Acts:10:45 @And the Jews of the faith, who had come with Peter, were full of wonder, because the Holy Spirit was given to the Gentiles,

bbe@Acts:10:47 @Will any man say that these may not have baptism who have been given the Holy Spirit as we have?

bbe@Acts:10:48 @And he gave orders for them to have baptism in the name of Jesus Christ. Then they kept him with them for some days.

bbe@Acts:11:2 @And when Peter came to Jerusalem, those who kept the rule of circumcision had an argument with him,

bbe@Acts:11:3 @Saying, You went to men without circumcision, and took food with them.

bbe@Acts:11:4 @But Peter gave them an account of it all in order, saying to them,

bbe@Acts:11:5 @I was in the town of Joppa, at prayer: and falling into a deep sleep, I saw in a vision a vessel like a great cloth let down from heaven, and it came down to me:

bbe@Acts:11:6 @And looking on it with attention I saw in it all sorts of beasts and birds.

bbe@Acts:11:12 @And the Spirit gave me orders to go with them, doubting nothing. And these six brothers came with me; and we went into that man's house:

bbe@Acts:11:15 @And, while I was talking to them, the Holy Spirit came on them, as on us at first.

bbe@Acts:11:16 @And the words of the Lord came into my mind, how he said, The baptism of John was with water, but you will have baptism with the Holy Spirit.

bbe@Acts:11:17 @If then God gave them, when they had faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, the same as he gave to us, who was I to go against God?

bbe@Acts:11:21 @And the power of the Lord was with them, and a great number had faith and were turned to the Lord.

bbe@Acts:11:23 @Who, when he came and saw the grace of God, was glad; and he made clear to them the need of keeping near the Lord with all the strength of their hearts:

bbe@Acts:11:24 @For he was a good man and full of the Holy Spirit and of faith: and a great number were joined to the Lord.

bbe@Acts:11:26 @And when he had come across him, he took him to Antioch. And they were with the church there for a year, teaching the people; and the disciples were first given the name of Christians in Antioch.

bbe@Acts:11:28 @And one of them, named Agabus, said publicly through the Spirit that there would be serious need of food all over the earth: which came about in the time of Claudius.

bbe@Acts:11:30 @Which they did, sending it to the rulers of the church by the hand of Barnabas and Saul.

bbe@Acts:12:2 @And he put James, the brother of John, to death with the sword.

bbe@Acts:12:3 @And when he saw that this was pleasing to the Jews he went on to take Peter in addition. This was at the time of the feast of unleavened bread.

bbe@Acts:12:4 @And having taken him, he put him in prison, with four bands of armed men to keep watch over him; his purpose being to take him out to the people after the Passover.

bbe@Acts:12:8 @Then the angel said, Put on your shoes and get ready to go. And he did so. And he said, Put your coat round you and come with me.

bbe@Acts:12:9 @And he went out after him; and he was not certain if what was done by the angel was a fact, for it seemed to him that he was seeing a vision.

bbe@Acts:12:10 @And when they had gone past the first and second watchmen they came to the iron door into the town, which came open by itself: and they went out and down one street; and then the angel went away.

bbe@Acts:12:13 @And he gave a blow on the door, and a young girl came to it, named Rhoda

bbe@Acts:12:14 @And hearing the voice of Peter, in her joy she went running, without opening the door, to say that Peter was outside.

bbe@Acts:12:15 @And they said to her, You are off your head. But still she said, with decision, that it was so. And they said, It is his angel.

bbe@Acts:12:16 @But Peter went on giving blows on the door: and when it was open and they saw him, they were full of wonder.

bbe@Acts:12:17 @But he made a sign to them with his hand to be quiet, and gave them an account of how the Lord had taken him out of prison. And he said, Give the news to James and the brothers. And then he went away.

bbe@Acts:12:18 @Now when it was day, the armed men were greatly troubled about what had become of Peter.

bbe@Acts:12:20 @Now he was very angry with the people of Tyre and Sidon: and they came to him, all together, and having made friends with Blastus, the controller of the king's house, they made a request for peace, because their country was dependent on the king's country for its food.

bbe@Acts:12:22 @And the people, with loud cries, said, It is the voice of a god, not of a man.

bbe@Acts:12:25 @And Barnabas and Saul came back from Jerusalem, when their work was ended, taking with them John named Mark.

bbe@Acts:13:2 @And while they were doing the Lord's work, and going without food, the Holy Spirit said, Let Barnabas and Saul be given to me for the special work for which they have been marked out by me.

bbe@Acts:13:3 @Then, after prayer and going without food they put their hands on them, and sent them away.

bbe@Acts:13:4 @So, being sent out by the Holy Spirit, they went down to Seleucia; and from there they went by ship to Cyprus.

bbe@Acts:13:5 @And at Salamis they were preaching the word of God in the Synagogues of the Jews: and John was with them, helping them.

bbe@Acts:13:7 @Who was with the ruler, Sergius Paulus, an able man. This man sent for Barnabas and Saul, desiring to have knowledge of the word of God.

bbe@Acts:13:8 @But Elymas, the wonder-worker (for that is the sense of his name), put himself against them, with the purpose of turning the ruler from the faith.

bbe@Acts:13:9 @But Saul, whose other name is Paul, being full of the Holy Spirit, looking hard at him, said,

bbe@Acts:13:12 @Then the ruler, when he saw what was done, had faith, being full of wonder at the teaching of the Lord.

bbe@Acts:13:13 @Then Paul and those who were with him went by ship from Paphos and came to Perga in Pamphylia: and there John went away from them and came back to Jerusalem.

bbe@Acts:13:16 @And Paul, getting up and making a sign with his hand, said, Men of Israel, and you who have the fear of God, give ear.

bbe@Acts:13:17 @The God of this people Israel made selection of our fathers, lifting the people up from their low condition when they were living in the land of Egypt, and with a strong arm took them out of it.

bbe@Acts:13:18 @And for about forty years he put up with their ways in the waste land.

bbe@Acts:13:19 @And having put to destruction seven nations in the land of Canaan, he gave them the land for their heritage for about four hundred and fifty years.

bbe@Acts:13:22 @And having put him on one side, he made David their king, to whom he gave witness, saying, I have taken David, the son of Jesse, a man dear to my heart, who will do all my pleasure.

bbe@Acts:13:24 @For whose coming John made ready the way by preaching to all the people of Israel the baptism which goes with a change of heart.

bbe@Acts:13:29 @And when they had done all the things said in the Writings about him, they took him down from the tree, and put him in the place of the dead.

bbe@Acts:13:31 @And for a number of days he was seen by those who came with him from Galilee to Jerusalem, who are now his witnesses before the people.

bbe@Acts:13:33 @Which God has now put into effect for our children, by sending Jesus; as it says in the second Psalm, You are my Son; this day I have given you being.

bbe@Acts:13:36 @Now David, having done God's work for his generation, went to sleep, and was put with his fathers, and his body came to destruction:

bbe@Acts:13:38 @And so, let it be clear to you, my brothers, that through this man forgiveness of sins is offered to you:

bbe@Acts:13:39 @And through him everyone who has faith is made free from all those things, from which the law of Moses was not able to make you free.

bbe@Acts:13:41 @See, you doubters, have wonder and come to your end; for I will do a thing in your days to which you will not give belief, even if it is made clear to you.

bbe@Acts:13:43 @Now when the meeting was ended, a number of the Jews and of the God-fearing Gentiles who had become Jews, went after Paul and Barnabas: who put before them how important it was to keep on in the grace of God.

bbe@Acts:13:46 @Then Paul and Barnabas without fear said, It was necessary for the word of God to be given to you first; but because you will have nothing to do with it, and have no desire for eternal life, it will now be offered to the Gentiles.

bbe@Acts:13:48 @And the Gentiles, hearing this, were glad and gave glory to the word of God: and those marked out by God for eternal life had faith.

bbe@Acts:13:50 @But the Jews, working up the feelings of the God-fearing women of high position and of the chief men of the town, got an attack started against Paul and Barnabas, driving them out of those parts.

bbe@Acts:13:52 @And the disciples were full of joy and of the Holy Spirit.

bbe@Acts:14:1 @Now in Iconium they went together to the Synagogue of the Jews and gave such teaching that a great number of Jews and Greeks had faith.

bbe@Acts:14:2 @But those Jews who had not the faith, made the minds of the Gentiles bitter against the brothers.

bbe@Acts:14:3 @So they kept there for a long time, taking heart in the Lord, who gave witness to the word of his grace by causing signs and wonders to be done by their hands.

bbe@Acts:14:5 @And when a violent attempt was made by the Gentiles and the Jews, with their rulers, to make an attack on them and have them stoned,

bbe@Acts:14:6 @Having got news of it, they went in flight to the towns of Lycaonia, Lystra, and Derbe, and the country round about:

bbe@Acts:14:8 @And at Lystra there was a certain man, who from birth had been without the use of his feet, never having had the power of walking.

bbe@Acts:14:9 @This man was giving ear to the preaching of Paul, who, looking at him, and seeing that he had faith to be made well,

bbe@Acts:14:12 @And they gave the name of Jupiter to Barnabas, and to Paul that of Mercury, because he was the chief talker.

bbe@Acts:14:13 @And the priest of the image of Jupiter, which was before the town, took oxen and flowers to the doors of the town, and was about to make an offering with the people.

bbe@Acts:14:15 @Good people, why are you doing these things? We are men with the same feelings as you, and we give you the good news so that you may be turned away from these foolish things to the living God, who made the heaven and the earth and the sea and all things in them:

bbe@Acts:14:17 @But he was not without witness, because he did good, and gave you rain from heaven and times of fruit, making your hearts full of food and joy

bbe@Acts:14:18 @And even with these words, it was hard for them to keep the people from making an offering to them.

bbe@Acts:14:20 @But when the disciples came round him, he got up and went into the town: and the day after he went away with Barnabas to Derbe.

bbe@Acts:14:22 @Making strong the souls of the disciples, saying to them that they were to keep the faith, and that we have to go through troubles of all sorts to come into the kingdom of God.

bbe@Acts:14:23 @And when they had made selection of some to be rulers in every church, and had given themselves to prayer and kept themselves from food, they put them into the care of the Lord in whom they had faith.

bbe@Acts:14:27 @And when they came there, and had got the church together, they gave them an account of all the things which God had done through them, and how he had made open a door of faith to the Gentiles.

bbe@Acts:14:28 @And they were with the disciples there for a long time.

bbe@Acts:15:1 @Now certain men came down from Judaea, teaching the brothers and saying that without circumcision, after the rule of Moses, there is no salvation.

bbe@Acts:15:2 @And after Paul and Barnabas had had no little argument and discussion with them, the brothers made a decision to send Paul and Barnabas and certain others of them to the Apostles and the rulers of the church at Jerusalem about this question.

bbe@Acts:15:4 @And when they came to Jerusalem, they had a meeting with the church and the Apostles and the rulers, and they gave an account of all the things which God had done through them.

bbe@Acts:15:5 @But some of the Pharisees, who were of the faith, got up and said, It is necessary for these to have circumcision and to keep the law of Moses.

bbe@Acts:15:7 @And when there had been much discussion, Peter got up and said to them, My brothers, you have knowledge that some time back it was God's pleasure that by my mouth the good news might be given to the Gentiles so that they might have faith.

bbe@Acts:15:8 @And God, the searcher of hearts, was a witness to them, giving them the Holy Spirit even as he did to us;

bbe@Acts:15:9 @Making no division between them and us, but making clean their hearts by faith.

bbe@Acts:15:10 @Why then are you testing God, by putting on the neck of the disciples a yoke so hard that not even our fathers or we were strong enough for it?

bbe@Acts:15:11 @But we have faith that we will get salvation through the grace of the Lord Jesus in the same way as they.

bbe@Acts:15:15 @And this is in agreement with the words of the prophets, as it is said,

bbe@Acts:15:16 @After these things I will come back, and will put up the tent of David which has been broken down, building up again its broken parts and making it complete:

bbe@Acts:15:22 @Then it seemed good to the Apostles and the rulers and all the church, to send men from among them to Antioch with Paul and Barnabas; Judas, named Barsabbas, and Silas, chief men among the brothers:

bbe@Acts:15:23 @And they sent a letter by them, saying, The Apostles and the older brothers, to the brothers who are of the Gentiles in Antioch and Syria and Cilicia, may joy be with you:

bbe@Acts:15:24 @Because we have knowledge that some who went from us have been troubling you with their words, putting your souls in doubt; to whom we gave no such order;

bbe@Acts:15:25 @It seemed good to us, having come to an agreement together, to send these men to you, with our well loved Barnabas and Paul,

bbe@Acts:15:28 @For it seemed good to the Holy Spirit and to us, to put on you nothing more than these necessary things;

bbe@Acts:15:31 @And after reading it, they were glad of its comfort.

bbe@Acts:15:32 @And Judas and Silas, who themselves were prophets, gave teaching to the brothers and made them strong in the faith.

bbe@Acts:15:35 @But Paul and Barnabas kept on in Antioch, teaching and preaching the word of God, with a number of others.

bbe@Acts:15:37 @And Barnabas had a desire to take with them John, named Mark.

bbe@Acts:15:38 @But Paul was of the opinion that it was not right to take with them one who had gone away from them in Pamphylia, and had not gone on with the work.

bbe@Acts:15:39 @And there was a sharp argument between them, so that they were parted from one another, and Barnabas took Mark with him and went by ship to Cyprus;

bbe@Acts:15:40 @But Paul took Silas and went away with the blessing of the brothers.

bbe@Acts:15:41 @And he went through Syria and Cilicia, making the churches stronger in the faith.

bbe@Acts:16:1 @And he came to Derbe and Lystra: and there was a certain disciple there named Timothy, whose mother was one of the Jews of the faith, but his father was a Greek;

bbe@Acts:16:3 @Paul had a desire for him to go with him, and he gave him circumcision because of the Jews who were in those parts: for they all had knowledge that his father was a Greek.

bbe@Acts:16:5 @So the churches were made strong in the faith and were increased in number every day.

bbe@Acts:16:6 @And after they had gone through the land of Phrygia and Galatia, the Holy Spirit did not let them take the word into Asia;

bbe@Acts:16:7 @And having come to Mysia, they made an attempt to go into Bithynia, but the Spirit of Jesus did not let them;

bbe@Acts:16:10 @And when he had seen the vision, straight away we made the decision to go into Macedonia, for it seemed certain to us that God had sent us to give the good news to them.

bbe@Acts:16:13 @And on the Sabbath we went outside the town, by the river, where we had an idea that there would be a place of prayer; and, being seated, we had talk with the women who had come together.

bbe@Acts:16:15 @And when she and her family had had baptism, she made a request to us, saying, If it seems to you that I am true to the Lord, come into my house and be my guests. And she made us come.

bbe@Acts:16:16 @And when we were going to the place of prayer, we came across a girl with a spirit which gave knowledge of the future, whose masters made great profit from her power.

bbe@Acts:16:18 @And this she did on a number of days. But Paul was greatly troubled and, turning, said to the spirit, I give you orders in the name of Jesus Christ, to come out of her. And it came out that very hour.

bbe@Acts:16:19 @But when her masters saw that their hope of profit was gone, they took Paul and Silas, pulling them into the market-place before the rulers;

bbe@Acts:16:20 @And when they had taken them before the authorities, they said, These men, who are Jews, are greatly troubling our town;

bbe@Acts:16:21 @Teaching rules of living which it is not right for us to have or to keep, being Romans

bbe@Acts:16:22 @And the people made an attack on them all together: and the authorities took their clothing off them, and gave orders for them to be whipped.

bbe@Acts:16:24 @And he, having such orders, put them into the inner prison with chains on their feet.

bbe@Acts:16:29 @And he sent for lights and came rushing in and, shaking with fear, went down on his face before Paul and Silas,

bbe@Acts:16:31 @And they said, Have faith in the Lord Jesus, and you and your family will have salvation.

bbe@Acts:16:34 @And he took them into his house and gave them food, and he was full of joy, having faith in God with all his family.

bbe@Acts:16:35 @But when it was day, the authorities sent the police, saying, Let these men go.

bbe@Acts:16:36 @And the keeper said to Paul, The authorities have given orders to let you go: come out now, and go in peace.

bbe@Acts:16:37 @But Paul said to them, They have given us who are Romans a public whipping without judging us, and have put us in prison. Will they now send us out secretly? no, truly, let them come themselves and take us out.

bbe@Acts:16:38 @And the police gave an account of these words to the authorities, and they were full of fear on hearing that they were Romans;

bbe@Acts:17:2 @And Paul, as he generally did, went in to them, and on three Sabbath days had discussions with them from the holy Writings,

bbe@Acts:17:4 @And some of them had faith, and were joined to Paul and Silas; and a number of the God-fearing Greeks, and some of the chief women.

bbe@Acts:17:5 @But the Jews, being moved with envy, took with them certain low persons from among the common people, and getting together a great number of people, made an outcry in the town, attacking the house of Jason with the purpose of taking them out to the people.

bbe@Acts:17:11 @Now these were more noble than the Jews of Thessalonica, for they gave serious attention to the word, searching in the holy Writings every day, to see if these things were so.

bbe@Acts:17:12 @And a number of them had faith, and no small number of the Greek women of high position and of the men.

bbe@Acts:17:15 @But those who went with Paul took him as far as Athens, and then went away, with orders from him to Silas and Timothy to come to him quickly.

bbe@Acts:17:16 @Now while Paul was waiting for them at Athens, his spirit was troubled, for he saw all the town full of images of the gods.

bbe@Acts:17:17 @So he had discussions in the Synagogue with the Jews and God-fearing Gentiles, and every day in the market-place with those who were there.

bbe@Acts:17:18 @And some of those who were supporters of the theories of the Epicureans and the Stoics, had a meeting with him. And some said, What is this talker of foolish words saying? And others, He seems to be a preacher of strange gods: because he was preaching of Jesus and his coming back from the dead.

bbe@Acts:17:23 @For when I came by, I was looking at the things to which you give worship, and I saw an altar with this writing on it, TO THE GOD OF WHOM THERE IS NO KNOWLEDGE

bbe@Acts:17:24 @The God who made the earth and everything in it, he, being Lord of heaven and earth, is not housed in buildings made with hands;

bbe@Acts:17:26 @And he has made of one blood all the nations of men living on all the face of the earth, ordering their times and the limits of their lands,

bbe@Acts:17:28 @For in him we have life and motion and existence; as certain of your verse writers have said, For we are his offspring.

bbe@Acts:17:29 @If then we are the offspring of God, it is not right for us to have the idea that God is like gold or silver or stone, formed by the art or design of man.

bbe@Acts:17:32 @Now on hearing about the coming back from death, some of them made sport of it, but others said, Let us go more fully into this another time.

bbe@Acts:17:34 @But some men gave him their support: among whom was Dionysius the Areopagite, and a woman named Damaris, and others with them.

bbe@Acts:18:2 @And there he came across a certain Jew named Aquila, a man of Pontus by birth, who not long before had come from Italy with his wife Priscilla, because Claudius had given orders that all Jews were to go away from Rome: and he came to them;

bbe@Acts:18:3 @And because he was of the same trade, he was living with them, and they did their work together; for by trade they were tent-makers.

bbe@Acts:18:4 @And every Sabbath he had discussions in the Synagogue, turning Jews and Greeks to the faith.

bbe@Acts:18:7 @And moving from there, he went into the house of a man named Titus Justus, a God-fearing man, whose house was very near the Synagogue.

bbe@Acts:18:8 @And Crispus, the ruler of the Synagogue, with all his family, had faith in the Lord; and a great number of the people of Corinth, hearing the word, had faith and were given baptism.

bbe@Acts:18:10 @For I am with you, and no one will make an attack on you to do you damage: for I have a number of people in this town

bbe@Acts:18:14 @But when Paul was about to say something, Gallio said to the Jews, If this was anything to do with wrongdoing or crime, there would be a reason for me to give you a hearing:

bbe@Acts:18:15 @But if it is a question of words or names or of your law, see to it yourselves; I will not be a judge of such things.

bbe@Acts:18:18 @And Paul, after waiting some days, went away from the brothers and went by ship to Syria, Priscilla and Aquila being with him; and he had had his hair cut off in Cenchrea, for he had taken an oath.

bbe@Acts:18:19 @And they came down to Ephesus and he left them there: and he himself went into the Synagogue and had a discussion with the Jews.

bbe@Acts:18:23 @And having been there for some time, he went through the country of Galatia and Phrygia in order, making the disciples strong in the faith.

bbe@Acts:18:24 @Now a certain Jew named Apollos, an Alexandrian by birth, and a man of learning, came to Ephesus; and he had great knowledge of the holy Writings.

bbe@Acts:18:25 @This man had been trained in the way of the Lord; and burning in spirit, he gave himself up to teaching the facts about Jesus, though he had knowledge only of John's baptism:

bbe@Acts:18:26 @And he was preaching in the Synagogue without fear. But Priscilla and Aquila, hearing his words, took him in, and gave him fuller teaching about the way of God.

bbe@Acts:18:27 @And when he had a desire to go over into Achaia, the brothers gave him help, and sent letters to the disciples requesting them to take him in among them: and when he had come, he gave much help to those who had faith through grace:

bbe@Acts:18:28 @For he overcame the Jews in public discussion, making clear from the holy Writings that the Christ was Jesus.

bbe@Acts:19:1 @And it came about that while Apollos was at Corinth, Paul, having gone through the higher country, came to Ephesus, where there were certain disciples:

bbe@Acts:19:2 @And he said to them, Did you get the Holy Spirit when you had faith? And they said to him, No, we have had no knowledge of the Holy Spirit.

bbe@Acts:19:4 @And Paul said, John gave a baptism which goes with a change of heart, saying to the people that they were to have faith in him who was coming after him, that is, in Jesus.

bbe@Acts:19:6 @And when Paul had put his hands on them, the Holy Spirit came on them; and they had the power of talking in tongues, and acting like prophets.

bbe@Acts:19:8 @And he went into the Synagogue, and for three months he was preaching there without fear, reasoning and teaching about the kingdom of God.

bbe@Acts:19:12 @So that bits of linen and clothing from his body were taken to people who were ill, and their diseases went away from them and the evil spirits went out.

bbe@Acts:19:13 @But some of the Jews who went from place to place driving out evil spirits, took it on themselves to make use of the name of the Lord Jesus over those who had evil spirits, saying, I give you orders, by Jesus, whom Paul is preaching.

bbe@Acts:19:15 @And the evil spirit, answering, said to them, I have knowledge of Jesus, and of Paul, but who are you?

bbe@Acts:19:16 @And the man in whom the evil spirit was, jumping on them, was stronger than the two of them, and overcame them, so that they went running from that house, wounded and without their clothing.

bbe@Acts:19:18 @And a number of those who had faith came and made a public statement of their sins and all their acts.

bbe@Acts:19:19 @And a great number of those who were experts in strange arts took their books and put them on the fire in front of everyone: and when the books were valued they came to fifty thousand bits of silver.

bbe@Acts:19:24 @For there was a certain man named Demetrius, a silver-worker, who made silver boxes for the images of Diana, and gave no small profit to the workmen;

bbe@Acts:19:25 @Whom he got together, with other workmen of the same trade, and said to them, Men, it is clear that from this business we get our wealth.

bbe@Acts:19:26 @And you see, for it has come to your ears, that not only at Ephesus, but almost all through Asia, this Paul has been teaching numbers of people and turning them away, saying that those are not gods who are made by men's hands:

bbe@Acts:19:27 @And there is danger, not only that our trade may be damaged in the opinion of men, but that the holy place of the great goddess Diana may be no longer honoured, and that she to whom all Asia and the world give worship, will be put down from her high position.

bbe@Acts:19:29 @And the town was full of noise and trouble, and they all came running into the theatre, having taken by force Gaius and Aristarchus, men of Macedonia who were journeying in company with Paul.

bbe@Acts:19:33 @Then they took Alexander out from among the people, the Jews putting him forward. And Alexander, making a sign with his hand, was about to make a statement to the people in answer:

bbe@Acts:19:34 @But when they saw that he was a Jew, all of them with one voice went on crying out for about two hours, Great is Diana of Ephesus.

bbe@Acts:19:35 @And when the chief secretary had got the people quiet, he said, Men of Ephesus, is any man without knowledge that the town of Ephesus is the keeper of the holy place of the great Diana, who was sent down from Jupiter?

bbe@Acts:19:36 @So then, because these things may not be doubted, it would be better for you to be quiet, and do nothing unwise.

bbe@Acts:19:38 @If, then, Demetrius and the workmen who are with him have a protest to make against any man, the law is open to them, and there are judges; let them put up a cause at law against one another.

bbe@Acts:19:39 @But if any other business is in question, let it be taken up in the regular meeting.

bbe@Acts:19:40 @For, truly, we are in danger of being made responsible for this day's trouble, there being no cause for it: and we are not able to give any reason for this coming together.

bbe@Acts:20:4 @And Sopater of Beroea, the son of Pyrrhus, and Aristarchus and Secundus of Thessalonica, and Gaius of Derbe, and Timothy, and Tychicus and Trophimus of Asia, went with him as far as Asia.

bbe@Acts:20:5 @But these had gone before, and were waiting for us at Troas.

bbe@Acts:20:7 @And on the first day of the week, when we had come together for the holy meal, Paul gave them a talk, for it was his purpose to go away on the day after; and he went on talking till after the middle of the night.

bbe@Acts:20:13 @But we, going before him by ship, went to Assos with the purpose of taking Paul in there: for so he had given orders, because he himself was coming by land.

bbe@Acts:20:14 @And when he came up with us at Assos, we took him in the ship and went on to Mitylene.

bbe@Acts:20:15 @And going from there by sea, we came on the day after opposite Chios, and touching at Samos on the day after that, we came on the third day to Miletus.

bbe@Acts:20:19 @Doing the Lord's work without pride, through all the sorrow and troubles which came on me because of the evil designs of the Jews:

bbe@Acts:20:20 @And how I kept back nothing which might be of profit to you, teaching you publicly and privately,

bbe@Acts:20:21 @Preaching to Jews and to Greeks the need for a turning of the heart to God, and faith in the Lord Jesus Christ.

bbe@Acts:20:22 @And now, as you see, I am going to Jerusalem, a prisoner in spirit, having no knowledge of what will come to me there:

bbe@Acts:20:23 @Only that the Holy Spirit makes clear to me in every town that prison and pains are waiting for me.

bbe@Acts:20:24 @But I put no value on my life, if only at the end of it I may see the work complete which was given to me by the Lord Jesus, to be a witness of the good news of the grace of God.

bbe@Acts:20:28 @Give attention to yourselves, and to all the flock which the Holy Spirit has given into your care, to give food to the church of God, for which he gave his blood.

bbe@Acts:20:31 @So keep watch, having in mind that for three years without resting I was teaching every one of you, day and night, with weeping.

bbe@Acts:20:32 @And now, I give you into the care of God and the word of his grace, which is able to make you strong and to give you your heritage among all the saints.

bbe@Acts:20:34 @You yourselves have seen that with these hands I got what was necessary for me and those who were with me.

bbe@Acts:20:36 @And having said these words, he went down on his knees in prayer with them all.

bbe@Acts:20:38 @Being sad most of all because he had said that they would not see his face again. And so they went with him to the ship.

bbe@Acts:21:2 @And as there was a ship going to Phoenicia, we went in it.

bbe@Acts:21:3 @And when we had come in view of Cyprus, going past it on our left, we went on to Syria, and came to land at Tyre: for there the goods which were in the ship had to be taken out.

bbe@Acts:21:4 @And meeting the disciples we were there for seven days: and they gave Paul orders through the Spirit not to go up to Jerusalem.

bbe@Acts:21:5 @And when these days came to an end, we went on our journey; and they all, with their wives and children, came with us on our way till we were out of the town: and after going on our knees in prayer by the sea,

bbe@Acts:21:7 @And journeying by ship from Tyre we came to Ptolemais; and there we had talk with the brothers and were with them for one day.

bbe@Acts:21:10 @And while we were waiting there for some days, a certain prophet, named Agabus, came down from Judaea.

bbe@Acts:21:11 @And he came to us, and took the band of Paul's clothing, and putting it round his feet and hands, said, The Holy Spirit says these words, So will the Jews do to the man who is the owner of this band, and they will give him up into the hands of the Gentiles.

bbe@Acts:21:16 @And some of the disciples from Caesarea went with us, taking a certain Mnason of Cyprus, one of the early disciples, in whose house we were to be living.

bbe@Acts:21:18 @And on the day after, Paul went with us to James, and all the rulers of the church were present.

bbe@Acts:21:20 @And hearing it, they gave praise to God; and they said to him, You see, brother, what thousands there are among the Jews, who have the faith; and they all have a great respect for the law:

bbe@Acts:21:22 @What then is the position? They will certainly get news that you have come.

bbe@Acts:21:24 @Go with these, and make yourself clean with them, and make the necessary payments for them, so that they may be free from their oath: and everyone will see that the statements made about you are not true, but that you put yourself under rule, and keep the law.

bbe@Acts:21:25 @But as to the Gentiles who have the faith, we sent a letter, giving our decision that they were to keep themselves from offerings made to false gods, and from blood, and from the flesh of animals put to death in ways against the law, and from the evil desires of the body.

bbe@Acts:21:26 @Then Paul took the men, and on the day after, making himself clean with them, he went into the Temple, giving out the statement that the days necessary for making them clean were complete, till the offering was made for every one of them.

bbe@Acts:21:28 @Crying out, Men of Israel, come to our help: this is the man who is teaching all men everywhere against the people and the law and this place: and in addition, he has taken Greeks into the Temple, and made this holy place unclean.

bbe@Acts:21:29 @For they had seen him before in the town with Trophimus of Ephesus, and had the idea that Paul had taken him with him into the Temple.

bbe@Acts:21:36 @For a great mass of people came after them, crying out, Away with him!

bbe@Acts:21:40 @And when he let him do so, Paul, from the steps, made a sign with his hand to the people, and when they were all quiet, he said to them in the Hebrew language,

bbe@Acts:22:3 @I am a Jew of Tarsus in Cilicia by birth, but I had my education in this town at the feet of Gamaliel, being trained in the keeping of every detail of the law of our fathers; given up to the cause of God with all my heart, as you are today.

bbe@Acts:22:5 @Of which the high priest will be a witness, and all the rulers, from whom I had letters to the brothers; and I went into Damascus, to take those who were there as prisoners to Jerusalem for punishment.

bbe@Acts:22:6 @And it came about that while I was on my journey, coming near to Damascus, about the middle of the day, suddenly I saw a great light from heaven shining round me.

bbe@Acts:22:9 @And those who were with me saw the light, but the voice of him who was talking to me came not to their ears.

bbe@Acts:22:10 @And I said, What have I to do, Lord? And the Lord said to me, Get up, and go into Damascus; and it will be made clear to you what you have to do.

bbe@Acts:22:11 @And because I was unable to see because of the glory of that light, those who were with me took me by the hand, and so I came to Damascus.

bbe@Acts:22:15 @For you will be a witness for him to all men of what you have seen and of what has come to your ears.

bbe@Acts:22:16 @And now, why are you waiting? get up, and have baptism, for the washing away of your sins, giving worship to his name

bbe@Acts:22:17 @And it came about that when I had come back to Jerusalem, while I was at prayer in the Temple, my senses became more than naturally clear,

bbe@Acts:22:18 @And I saw him saying to me, Go out of Jerusalem straight away because they will not give hearing to your witness about me.

bbe@Acts:22:19 @And I said, Lord, they themselves have knowledge that I went through the Synagogues putting in prison and whipping all those who had faith in you:

bbe@Acts:22:20 @And when Stephen your witness was put to death, I was there, giving approval, and looking after the clothing of those who put him to death.

bbe@Acts:22:22 @And they gave him a hearing as far as this word; then with loud voices they said, Away with this man from the earth; it is not right for him to be living.

bbe@Acts:22:25 @And when they had put leather bands round him, Paul said to the captain who was present, Is it the law for you to give blows to a man who is a Roman and has not been judged?

bbe@Acts:22:26 @And hearing this, the man went to the chief captain and gave him an account of it, saying, What are you about to do? for this man is a Roman.

bbe@Acts:23:3 @Then Paul said to him, God will give blows to you, you whitewashed wall: are you here to be my judge by law, and by your orders am I given blows against the law?

bbe@Acts:23:5 @And Paul said, Brother, I had no idea that he was the high priest: for it has been said, You may not say evil about the ruler of your people.

bbe@Acts:23:8 @For the Sadducees say that there is no coming back from the dead, and no angels or spirits: but the Pharisees have belief in all these.

bbe@Acts:23:9 @And there was a great outcry: and some of the scribes on the side of the Pharisees got up and took part in the discussion, saying, We see no evil in this man: what if he has had a revelation from an angel or a spirit?

bbe@Acts:23:11 @And the night after, the Lord came to his side and said, Be of good heart, for as you have been witnessing for me in Jerusalem, so will you be my witness in Rome.

bbe@Acts:23:12 @And when it was day, the Jews came together and put themselves under an oath that they would take no food or drink till they had put Paul to death.

bbe@Acts:23:15 @So now, will you and the Sanhedrin make a request to the military authorities to have him sent down to you, as if you were desiring to go into the business in greater detail; and we, before ever he gets to you, will be waiting to put him to death.

bbe@Acts:23:16 @But Paul's sister's son had word of their design, and he came into the army building and gave news of it to Paul.

bbe@Acts:23:19 @And the chief took him by the hand and, going on one side, said to him privately, What is it you have to say to me?

bbe@Acts:23:21 @But do not give way to them, for more than forty of them are waiting for him, having taken an oath not to take food or drink till they have put him to death: and now they are ready, waiting for your order.

bbe@Acts:23:23 @And he sent for two captains and said, Make ready two hundred men, with seventy horsemen and two hundred spearmen, to go to Caesarea, at the third hour of the night:

bbe@Acts:23:26 @Claudius Lysias, to the most noble ruler, Felix, peace be with you.

bbe@Acts:23:27 @This man was taken by the Jews, and was about to be put to death by them, when I came on them with the army and took him out of danger, having knowledge that he was a Roman.

bbe@Acts:23:29 @Then it became clear to me that it was a question of their law, and that nothing was said against him which might be a reason for prison or death.

bbe@Acts:23:32 @But on the day after, they sent the horsemen on with him, and went back to their place:

bbe@Acts:23:34 @And after reading it, he said, What part of the country do you come from? And, hearing that he was from Cilicia,

bbe@Acts:24:1 @And after five days, the high priest, Ananias, came with certain of the rulers, and an expert talker, one Tertullus; and they made a statement to Felix against Paul.

bbe@Acts:24:6 @Who, in addition, was attempting to make the Temple unclean: whom we took,

bbe@Acts:24:9 @And the Jews were in agreement with his statement, saying that these things were so.

bbe@Acts:24:11 @Seeing that you are able to make certain of the fact that it is not more than twelve days from the time when I came up to Jerusalem for worship;

bbe@Acts:24:12 @And they have not seen me in argument with any man in the Temple, or working up the feelings of the people, in the Synagogues or in the town:

bbe@Acts:24:18 @And having been made clean, I was in the Temple, but not with a great number of people, and not with noise: but there were certain Jews from Asia,

bbe@Acts:24:19 @And it would have been better if they had come here to make a statement, if they have anything against me.

bbe@Acts:24:24 @But after some days, Felix came with Drusilla his wife, who was of the Jews by birth, and sent for Paul, and gave hearing to him about faith in Christ Jesus.

bbe@Acts:24:26 @For he was hoping that Paul would give him money: so he sent for him more frequently and had talk with him.

bbe@Acts:25:3 @Requesting Festus to give effect to their design against him, and send him to Jerusalem, when they would be waiting to put him to death on the way.

bbe@Acts:25:5 @So, he said, let those who have authority among you go with me, and if there is any wrong in the man, let them make a statement against him.

bbe@Acts:25:6 @And when he had been with them not more than eight or ten days, he went down to Caesarea; and on the day after, he took his place on the judge's seat, and sent for Paul.

bbe@Acts:25:9 @But Festus, desiring to get the approval of the Jews, said to Paul, Will you go up to Jerusalem, and be judged before me there in connection with these things?

bbe@Acts:25:10 @And Paul said, I am before the seat of Caesar's authority where it is right for me to be judged: I have done no wrong to the Jews, as you are well able to see.

bbe@Acts:25:11 @If, then, I am a wrongdoer and there is a cause of death in me, I am ready for death: if it is not as they say against me, no man may give me up to them. Let my cause come before Caesar.

bbe@Acts:25:12 @Then Festus, having had a discussion with the Jews, made answer, You have said, Let my cause come before Caesar; to Caesar you will go.

bbe@Acts:25:16 @To whom I gave answer that it is not the Roman way to give a man up, till he has been face to face with those who are attacking him, and has had a chance to give an answer to the statements made against him.

bbe@Acts:25:19 @But had certain questions against him in connection with their religion, and about one Jesus, now dead, who, Paul said, was living.

bbe@Acts:25:23 @So on the day after, when Agrippa and Bernice in great glory had come into the public place of hearing, with the chief of the army and the chief men of the town, at the order of Festus, Paul was sent for.

bbe@Acts:25:24 @And Festus said, King Agrippa, and all those who are present here with us, you see this man, about whom all the Jews have made protests to me, at Jerusalem and in this place, saying that it is not right for him to be living any longer.

bbe@Acts:25:26 @But I have no certain account of him to send to Caesar. So I have sent for him to come before you, and specially before you, King Agrippa, so that after the business has been gone into, I may have something to put in writing.

bbe@Acts:25:27 @For it seems to me against reason to send a prisoner without making clear what there is against him.

bbe@Acts:26:3 @The more so, because you are expert in all questions to do with the Jews and their ways: so I make my request to you to give me a hearing to the end.

bbe@Acts:26:4 @All the Jews have knowledge of my way of life from my early years, as it was from the start among my nation, and at Jerusalem;

bbe@Acts:26:5 @And they are able to say, if they would give witness, that I was living as a Pharisee, in that division of our religion which is most regular in the keeping of the law.

bbe@Acts:26:7 @For the effecting of which our twelve tribes have been working and waiting night and day with all their hearts. And in connection with this hope I am attacked by the Jews, O king!

bbe@Acts:26:8 @Why, in your opinion, is it outside belief for God to make the dead come to life again?

bbe@Acts:26:9 @For I, truly, was of the opinion that it was right for me to do a number of things against the name of Jesus of Nazareth.

bbe@Acts:26:10 @And this I did in Jerusalem: and numbers of the saints I put in prison, having had authority given to me from the chief priests, and when they were put to death, I gave my decision against them.

bbe@Acts:26:11 @And I gave them punishment frequently, in all the Synagogues, forcing them to say things against God; and burning with passion against them, I went after them even into far-away towns

bbe@Acts:26:12 @Then, when I was journeying to Damascus with the authority and orders of the chief priests,

bbe@Acts:26:13 @In the middle of the day, on the road I saw a light from heaven, brighter than the sun, shining round me and those who were journeying with me.

bbe@Acts:26:14 @And when we had all gone down on the earth, a voice came to me, saying in the Hebrew language, Saul, Saul, why are you attacking me so cruelly? It is hard for you to go against the impulse which is driving you.

bbe@Acts:26:16 @But get up on your feet: for I have come to you for this purpose, to make you a servant and a witness of the things in which you have seen me, and of those in which you will see me;

bbe@Acts:26:18 @To make their eyes open, turning them from the dark to the light, and from the power of Satan to God, so that they may have forgiveness of sins and a heritage among those who are made holy by faith in me.

bbe@Acts:26:20 @But I went about, first to those in Damascus and Jerusalem, and through all the country of Judaea, and then to the Gentiles, preaching a change of heart, so that they, being turned to God, might give, in their works, the fruits of a changed heart.

bbe@Acts:26:22 @And so, by God's help, I am here today, witnessing to small and great, saying nothing but what the prophets and Moses said would come about;

bbe@Acts:26:26 @For the king has knowledge of these things, to whom I am talking freely; being certain that all this is common knowledge to him; for it has not been done in secret.

bbe@Acts:26:27 @King Agrippa, have you faith in the prophets? I am certain that you have.

bbe@Acts:26:28 @And Agrippa said to Paul, A little more and you will be making me a Christian.

bbe@Acts:26:29 @And Paul said, It is my prayer to God that, in little or great measure, not only you, but all those hearing me today might be even as I am, but for these chains.

bbe@Acts:26:30 @And the king and the ruler and Bernice and those who were seated with them got up;

bbe@Acts:27:1 @And when the decision had been made that we were to go by sea to Italy, they gave Paul and certain other prisoners into the care of a captain named Julius, of the Augustan band.

bbe@Acts:27:2 @And we went to sea in a ship of Adramyttium which was sailing to the sea towns of Asia, Aristarchus, a Macedonian of Thessalonica, being with us.

bbe@Acts:27:6 @And there the captain came across a ship of Alexandria, sailing for Italy, and put us in it.

bbe@Acts:27:8 @And sailing down the side of it, as well as we were able, we came to a certain place named Fair Havens, near which was the town of Lasea.

bbe@Acts:27:9 @And as a long time had gone by, and the journey was now full of danger, because it was late in the year, Paul put the position before them,

bbe@Acts:27:14 @But after a little time, a very violent wind, named Euraquilo, came down from it with great force.

bbe@Acts:27:15 @And when the ship got into the grip of it, and was not able to make headway into the wind, we gave way, and went before it.

bbe@Acts:27:16 @And, sailing near the side of a small island named Cauda, we were able, though it was hard work, to make the ship's boat safe:

bbe@Acts:27:17 @And having got it up, they put cords under and round the ship; but fearing that they might be pushed on to the Syrtis, they let down the sails and so went running before the wind.

bbe@Acts:27:18 @And, still fighting the storm with all our strength, the day after they made a start at getting the goods out of the ship;

bbe@Acts:27:21 @And when they had been without food for a long time, Paul got up among them and said, Friends, it would have been better if you had given attention to me and not gone sailing out from Crete, to undergo this damage and loss.

bbe@Acts:27:24 @Saying, Have no fear, Paul, for you will come before Caesar, and God has given to you all those who are sailing with you.

bbe@Acts:27:25 @And so, O men, be of good heart, for I have faith in God that it will be as he said to me.

bbe@Acts:27:28 @And they let down the lead, and saw that the sea was a hundred and twenty feet deep; and after a little time they did it again and it was ninety feet.

bbe@Acts:27:33 @And when dawn was near, Paul gave them all orders to take food, saying, This is the fourteenth day you have been waiting and taking no food.

bbe@Acts:27:39 @And when it was day, they had no knowledge of the land, but they saw an inlet of the sea with a floor of sand, and they had the idea of driving the ship up on to it if possible.

bbe@Acts:27:44 @And the rest, some on boards and some on things from the ship. And so it came about that they all got safe to land.

bbe@Acts:28:1 @And when we were safe, we made the discovery that the island was named Melita.

bbe@Acts:28:2 @And the simple people living there were uncommonly kind to us, for they made a fire for us, and took us in, because it was raining and cold.

bbe@Acts:28:3 @But when Paul had got some sticks together and put them on the fire, a snake came out, because of the heat, and gave him a bite on the hand.

bbe@Acts:28:4 @And when the people saw it hanging on his hand, they said to one another, Without doubt this man has put someone to death, and though he has got safely away from the sea, God will not let him go on living.

bbe@Acts:28:6 @But they had the idea that they would see him becoming ill, or suddenly falling down dead; but after waiting a long time, and seeing that no damage came to him, changing their opinion, they said he was a god.

bbe@Acts:28:8 @And the father of Publius was ill, with a disease of the stomach; to whom Paul went, and put his hands on him, with prayer, and made him well.

bbe@Acts:28:12 @And going into the harbour at Syracuse, we were waiting there for three days.

bbe@Acts:28:14 @Where we came across some of the brothers, who kept us with them for seven days; and so we came to Rome.

bbe@Acts:28:15 @And the brothers, when they had news of us, came out from town as far as Appii Forum and the Three Taverns to have a meeting with us: and Paul, seeing them, gave praise to God and took heart

bbe@Acts:28:19 @But when the Jews made protest against it, I had to put my cause into Caesar's hands; not because I have anything to say against my nation.

bbe@Acts:28:20 @But for this reason I sent for you, to see and have talk with you: for because of the hope of Israel I am in these chains.

bbe@Acts:28:22 @But we have a desire to give hearing to your opinion: for as to this form of religion, we have knowledge that in all places it is attacked.

bbe@Acts:28:23 @And when a day had been fixed, they came to his house in great numbers; and he gave them teaching, giving witness to the kingdom of God, and having discussions with them about Jesus, from the law of Moses and from the prophets, from morning till evening.

bbe@Acts:28:24 @And some were in agreement with what he said, but some had doubts.

bbe@Acts:28:25 @And they went away, for there was a division among them after Paul had said this one thing: Well did the Holy Spirit say by the prophet Isaiah to your fathers,

bbe@Acts:28:27 @For the heart of this people has become fat and their ears are slow in hearing and their eyes are shut; for fear that they might see with their eyes and give hearing with their ears and become wise in their hearts and be turned again to me, so that I might make them well.

bbe@Acts:28:30 @And for the space of two years, Paul was living in the house of which he had the use, and had talk with all those who went in to see him,

bbe@Acts:28:31 @Preaching the kingdom of God and teaching about the Lord Jesus Christ without fear, and no orders were given that he was not to do so.

bbe@Romans:1:1 @Paul, a servant of Jesus Christ, an Apostle by the selection of God, given authority as a preacher of the good news,

bbe@Romans:1:2 @Of which God had given word before by his prophets in the holy Writings,

bbe@Romans:1:4 @But was marked out as Son of God in power by the Holy Spirit through the coming to life again of the dead; Jesus Christ our Lord,

bbe@Romans:1:5 @Through whom grace has been given to us, sending us out to make disciples to the faith among all nations, for his name:

bbe@Romans:1:8 @First of all, I give praise to my God through Jesus Christ for you all, because news of your faith has gone into all the world.

bbe@Romans:1:9 @For God is my witness, whose servant I am in spirit in the good news of his Son, that you are at all times in my memory and in my prayers,

bbe@Romans:1:11 @For I have a strong desire to see you, and to give you some grace of the spirit, so that you may be made strong;

bbe@Romans:1:12 @That is to say, that all of us may be comforted together by the faith which is in you and in me.

bbe@Romans:1:13 @You may be certain, my brothers, that it has frequently been in my mind to come to you (but till now I was kept from it), so that I might have some fruit from you in the same way as I have had it from the other nations.

bbe@Romans:1:16 @For I have no feeling of shame about the good news, because it is the power of God giving salvation to everyone who has faith, to the Jew first, and then to the Greek.

bbe@Romans:1:17 @For in it there is the revelation of the righteousness of God from faith to faith: as it is said in the holy Writings, The man who does righteousness will be living by his faith.

bbe@Romans:1:19 @Because the knowledge of God may be seen in them, God having made it clear to them.

bbe@Romans:1:21 @Because, having the knowledge of God, they did not give glory to God as God, and did not give praise, but their minds were full of foolish things, and their hearts, being without sense, were made dark.

bbe@Romans:1:24 @For this reason God gave them up to the evil desires of their hearts, working shame in their bodies with one another:

bbe@Romans:1:25 @Because by them the true word of God was changed into that which is false, and they gave worship and honour to the thing which is made, and not to him who made it, to whom be blessing for ever. So be it.

bbe@Romans:1:27 @And in the same way the men gave up the natural use of the woman and were burning in their desire for one another, men doing shame with men, and getting in their bodies the right reward of their evil-doing.

bbe@Romans:1:29 @Being full of all wrongdoing, evil, desire for the goods of others, hate, envy, putting to death, fighting, deceit, cruel ways, evil talk, and false statements about others;

bbe@Romans:1:30 @Hated by God, full of pride, without respect, full of loud talk, given to evil inventions, not honouring father or mother,

bbe@Romans:1:31 @Without knowledge, not true to their undertakings, unkind, having no mercy:

bbe@Romans:2:4 @Or is it nothing to you that God had pity on you, waiting and putting up with you for so long, not seeing that in his pity God's desire is to give you a change of heart?

bbe@Romans:2:7 @To those who go on with good works in the hope of glory and honour and salvation from death, he will give eternal life:

bbe@Romans:2:8 @But to those who, from a love of competition, are not guided by what is true, will come the heat of his wrath,

bbe@Romans:2:12 @All those who have done wrong without the law will get destruction without the law: and those who have done wrong under the law will have their punishment by the law;

bbe@Romans:2:13 @For it is not the hearers of the law who will be judged as having righteousness before God, but only the doers:

bbe@Romans:2:14 @For when the Gentiles without the law have a natural desire to do the things in the law, they are a law to themselves;

bbe@Romans:2:15 @Because the work of the law is seen in their hearts, their sense of right and wrong giving witness to it, while their minds are at one time judging them and at another giving them approval;

bbe@Romans:2:16 @In the day when God will be a judge of the secrets of men, as it says in the good news of which I am a preacher, through Jesus Christ.

bbe@Romans:2:21 @You who give teaching to others, do you give it to yourself? you who say that a man may not take what is not his, do you take what is not yours?

bbe@Romans:2:24 @For the name of God is shamed among the Gentiles because of you, as it is said in the holy Writings.

bbe@Romans:2:25 @It is true that circumcision is of use if you keep the law, but if you go against the law it is as if you had it not.

bbe@Romans:2:26 @If those who have not circumcision keep the rules of the law, will it not be credited to them as circumcision?

bbe@Romans:2:27 @And they, by their keeping of the law without circumcision, will be judges of you, by whom the law is broken though you have the letter of the law and circumcision.

bbe@Romans:2:29 @But he is a Jew who is a secret one, whose circumcision is of the heart, in the spirit and not in the letter; whose praise is not from men, but from God.

bbe@Romans:3:1 @How then is the Jew better off? or what profit is there in circumcision?

bbe@Romans:3:3 @And if some have no faith, will that make the faith of God without effect?

bbe@Romans:3:4 @In no way: but let God be true, though every man is seen to be untrue; as it is said in the Writings, That your words may be seen to be true, and you may be seen to be right when you are judged.

bbe@Romans:3:5 @But if the righteousness of God is supported by our wrongdoing what is to be said? is it wrong for God to be angry (as men may say)?

bbe@Romans:3:6 @In no way: because if it is so, how is God able to be the judge of all the world?

bbe@Romans:3:8 @Let us not do evil so that good may come (a statement which we are falsely said by some to have made), because such behaviour will have its right punishment.

bbe@Romans:3:9 @What then? are we worse off than they? In no way: because we have before made it clear that Jews as well as Greeks are all under the power of sin;

bbe@Romans:3:10 @As it is said in the holy Writings, There is not one who does righteousness;

bbe@Romans:3:12 @They have all gone out of the way, there is no profit in any of them; there is not one who does good, not so much as one:

bbe@Romans:3:13 @Their throat is like an open place of death; with their tongues they have said what is not true: the poison of snakes is under their lips:

bbe@Romans:3:14 @Whose mouth is full of curses and bitter words:

bbe@Romans:3:21 @But now without the law there is a revelation of the righteousness of God, to which witness is given by the law and the prophets;

bbe@Romans:3:22 @That is, the righteousness of God through faith in Jesus Christ, to all those who have faith; and one man is not different from another,

bbe@Romans:3:24 @And they may have righteousness put to their credit, freely, by his grace, through the salvation which is in Christ Jesus:

bbe@Romans:3:25 @Whom God has put forward as the sign of his mercy, through faith, by his blood, to make clear his righteousness when, in his pity, God let the sins of earlier times go without punishment;

bbe@Romans:3:26 @And to make clear his righteousness now, so that he might himself be upright, and give righteousness to him who has faith in Jesus.

bbe@Romans:3:27 @What reason, then, is there for pride? It is shut out. By what sort of law? of works? No, but by a law of faith.

bbe@Romans:3:28 @For this reason, then, a man may get righteousness by faith without the works of the law.

bbe@Romans:3:30 @If God is one; and he will give righteousness because of faith to those who have circumcision, and through faith to those who have not circumcision.

bbe@Romans:3:31 @Do we, then, through faith make the law of no effect? in no way: but we make it clear that the law is important.

bbe@Romans:4:3 @But what does it say in the holy Writings? And Abraham had faith in God, and it was put to his account as righteousness.

bbe@Romans:4:4 @Now, the reward is credited to him who does works, not as of grace but as a debt.

bbe@Romans:4:5 @But to him who without working has faith in him who gives righteousness to the evil-doer, his faith is put to his account as righteousness.

bbe@Romans:4:6 @As David says that there is a blessing on the man to whose account God puts righteousness without works, saying,

bbe@Romans:4:9 @Is this blessing, then, for the circumcision only, or in the same way for those who have not circumcision? for we say that the faith of Abraham was put to his account as righteousness.

bbe@Romans:4:10 @How, then, was it judged? when he had circumcision, or when he had it not? Not when he had it, but when he did not have it:

bbe@Romans:4:11 @And he was given the sign of circumcision as a witness of the faith which he had before he underwent circumcision: so that he might be the father of all those who have faith, though they have not circumcision, and so that righteousness might be put to their account;

bbe@Romans:4:12 @And the father of circumcision to those who not only are of the circumcision, but who keep to the way of that faith which our father Abraham had before he underwent circumcision.

bbe@Romans:4:13 @For God's word, that the earth would be his heritage, was given to Abraham, not through the law, but through the righteousness of faith.

bbe@Romans:4:14 @For if they who are of the law are the people who get the heritage, then faith is made of no use, and the word of God has no power;

bbe@Romans:4:15 @For the outcome of the law is wrath; but where there is no law it will not be broken.

bbe@Romans:4:16 @For this reason it is of faith, so that it may be through grace; and so that the word of God may be certain to all the seed; not only to that which is of the law, but to that which is of the faith of Abraham, who is the father of us all,

bbe@Romans:4:17 @(As it is said in the holy Writings, I have made you a father of a number of nations) before him in whom he had faith, that is, God, who gives life to the dead, and to whom the things which are not are as if they were.

bbe@Romans:4:18 @Who without reason for hope, in faith went on hoping, so that he became the father of a number of nations, as it had been said, So will your seed be.

bbe@Romans:4:19 @And not being feeble in faith though his body seemed to him little better than dead (he being about a hundred years old) and Sarah was no longer able to have children:

bbe@Romans:4:20 @Still, he did not give up faith in the undertaking of God, but was made strong by faith, giving glory to God,

bbe@Romans:4:22 @For which reason it was put to his account as righteousness.

bbe@Romans:4:23 @Now, it was not because of him only that this was said,

bbe@Romans:4:24 @But for us in addition, to whose account it will be put, if we have faith in him who made Jesus our Lord come back again from the dead,

bbe@Romans:5:1 @For which reason, because we have righteousness through faith, let us be at peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ;

bbe@Romans:5:2 @Through whom, in the same way, we have been able by faith to come to this grace in which we now are; and let us have joy in hope of the glory of God.

bbe@Romans:5:3 @And not only so, but let us have joy in our troubles: in the knowledge that trouble gives us the power of waiting;

bbe@Romans:5:4 @And waiting gives experience; and experience, hope:

bbe@Romans:5:5 @And hope does not put to shame; because our hearts are full of the love of God through the Holy Spirit which is given to us.

bbe@Romans:5:6 @For when we were still without strength, at the right time Christ gave his life for evil-doers.

bbe@Romans:5:7 @Now it is hard for anyone to give his life even for an upright man, though it might be that for a good man someone would give his life.

bbe@Romans:5:10 @For if, when we were haters of God, the death of his Son made us at peace with him, much more, now that we are his friends, will we have salvation through his life;

bbe@Romans:5:11 @And not only so, but we have joy in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we are now at peace with God.

bbe@Romans:5:20 @And the law came in addition, to make wrongdoing worse; but where there was much sin, there was much more grace:

bbe@Romans:6:2 @In no way. How may we, who are dead to sin, be living in it any longer?

bbe@Romans:6:3 @Or are you without the knowledge that all we who had baptism into Christ Jesus, had baptism into his death?

bbe@Romans:6:4 @We have been placed with him among the dead through baptism into death: so that as Christ came again from the dead by the glory of the Father, we, in the same way, might be living in new life.

bbe@Romans:6:6 @Being conscious that our old man was put to death on the cross with him, so that the body of sin might be put away, and we might no longer be servants to sin.

bbe@Romans:6:8 @But if we are dead with Christ, we have faith that we will be living with him;

bbe@Romans:6:12 @For this cause do not let sin be ruling in your body which is under the power of death, so that you give way to its desires;

bbe@Romans:6:15 @What then? are we to go on in sin because we are not under law but under grace? Let it not be so.

bbe@Romans:6:21 @What fruit had you at that time in the things which are now a shame to you? for the end of such things is death.

bbe@Romans:6:22 @But now, being free from sin, and having been made servants to God, you have your fruit in that which is holy, and the end is eternal life.

bbe@Romans:7:1 @Is it not clear, my brothers (I am using an argument to those who have knowledge of the law), that the law has power over a man as long as he is living?

bbe@Romans:7:4 @In the same way, my brothers, you were made dead to the law through the body of Christ, so that you might be joined to another, even to him who came again from the dead, so that we might give fruit to God.

bbe@Romans:7:5 @For when we were in the flesh, the evil passions which came into being through the law were working in our bodies to give the fruit of death.

bbe@Romans:7:6 @But now we are free from the law, having been made dead to that which had power over us; so that we are servants in the new way of the spirit, not in the old way of the letter.

bbe@Romans:7:8 @But sin, taking its chance through that which was ordered by the law, was working in me every form of desire: because without the law sin is dead.

bbe@Romans:7:9 @And there was a time when I was living without the law: but when the law gave its orders, sin came to life and put me to death;

bbe@Romans:7:11 @For I was tricked and put to death by sin, which took its chance through the law.

bbe@Romans:7:12 @But the law is holy, and its orders are holy, upright, and good.

bbe@Romans:7:14 @For we are conscious that the law is of the spirit; but I am of the flesh, given into the power of sin.

bbe@Romans:7:16 @But, if I do that which I have no mind to do, I am in agreement with the law that the law is good

bbe@Romans:7:17 @So it is no longer I who do it, but the sin living in me.

bbe@Romans:7:20 @But if I do what I have no mind to do, it is no longer I who do it, but the sin living in me.

bbe@Romans:7:25 @I give praise to God through Jesus Christ our Lord. So with my mind I am a servant to the law of God, but with my flesh to the law of sin.

bbe@Romans:8:2 @For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has made me free from the law of sin and death.

bbe@Romans:8:3 @For what the law was not able to do because it was feeble through the flesh, God, sending his Son in the image of the evil flesh, and as an offering for sin, gave his decision against sin in the flesh:

bbe@Romans:8:4 @So that what was ordered by the law might be done in us, who are living, not in the way of the flesh, but in the way of the Spirit.

bbe@Romans:8:5 @For those who are living in the way of the flesh give their minds to the things of the flesh, but those who go in the way of the Spirit, to the things of the Spirit.

bbe@Romans:8:6 @For the mind of the flesh is death, but the mind of the Spirit is life and peace:

bbe@Romans:8:7 @Because the mind of the flesh is opposite to God; it is not under the law of God, and is not able to be:

bbe@Romans:8:9 @You are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if the Spirit of God is in you. But if any man has not the Spirit of Christ he is not one of his.

bbe@Romans:8:10 @And if Christ is in you, the body is dead because of sin, but the Spirit is life because of righteousness.

bbe@Romans:8:11 @But if the Spirit of him who made Jesus come again from the dead is in you, he who made Christ Jesus come again from the dead will in the same way, through his Spirit which is in you, give life to your bodies which now are under the power of death.

bbe@Romans:8:13 @For if you go in the way of the flesh, death will come on you; but if by the Spirit you put to death the works of the body, you will have life.

bbe@Romans:8:14 @And all those who are guided by the Spirit of God are sons of God.

bbe@Romans:8:15 @For you did not get the spirit of servants again to put you in fear, but the spirit of sons was given to you, by which we say, Abba, Father.

bbe@Romans:8:16 @The Spirit is witness with our spirit that we are children of God:

bbe@Romans:8:17 @And if we are children, we have a right to a part in the heritage; a part in the things of God, together with Christ; so that if we have a part in his pain, we will in the same way have a part in his glory.

bbe@Romans:8:19 @For the strong desire of every living thing is waiting for the revelation of the sons of God.

bbe@Romans:8:20 @For every living thing was put under the power of change, not by its desire, but by him who made it so, in hope

bbe@Romans:8:21 @That all living things will be made free from the power of death and will have a part with the free children of God in glory.

bbe@Romans:8:23 @And not only so, but we who have the first fruits of the Spirit, even we have sorrow in our minds, waiting for the time when we will take our place as sons, that is, the salvation of our bodies.

bbe@Romans:8:25 @But if we have hope for that which we see not, then we will be able to go on waiting for it.

bbe@Romans:8:26 @And in the same way the Spirit is a help to our feeble hearts: for we are not able to make prayer to God in the right way; but the Spirit puts our desires into words which are not in our power to say;

bbe@Romans:8:27 @And he who is the searcher of hearts has knowledge of the mind of the Spirit, because he is making prayers for the saints in agreement with the mind of God.

bbe@Romans:8:32 @He who did not keep back his only Son, but gave him up for us all, will he not with him freely give us all things?

bbe@Romans:8:33 @Who will say anything against the saints of God? It is God who makes us clear from evil;

bbe@Romans:8:34 @Who will give a decision against us? It is Christ Jesus who not only was put to death, but came again from the dead, who is now at the right hand of God, taking our part.

bbe@Romans:8:36 @As it is said in the holy Writings, Because of you we are put to death every day; we are like sheep ready for destruction.

bbe@Romans:9:1 @I say what is true in Christ, and not what is false, my mind giving witness with me in the Holy Spirit,

bbe@Romans:9:2 @That I am full of sorrow and pain without end.

bbe@Romans:9:4 @Who are Israelites: who have the place of sons, and the glory, and the agreements with God, and the giving of the law, and the worship, and the hope offered by God:

bbe@Romans:9:5 @Whose are the fathers, and of whom came Christ in the flesh, who is over all, God, to whom be blessing for ever. So be it.

bbe@Romans:9:6 @But it is not as if the word of God was without effect. For they are not all Israel, who are of Israel:

bbe@Romans:9:8 @That is, it is not the children of the flesh, but the children of God's undertaking, who are named as the seed.

bbe@Romans:9:11 @Before the children had come into existence, or had done anything good or bad, in order that God's purpose and his selection might be effected, not by works, but by him whose purpose it is,

bbe@Romans:9:12 @It was said to her, The older will be the servant of the younger.

bbe@Romans:9:13 @Even as it is said, I had love for Jacob, but for Esau I had hate.

bbe@Romans:9:14 @What may we say then? is God not upright? let it not be said.

bbe@Romans:9:15 @For he says to Moses, I will have mercy on whom I will have mercy, and pity on whom I will have pity.

bbe@Romans:9:16 @So then, it is not by the desire or by the attempt of man, but by the mercy of God.

bbe@Romans:9:17 @For the holy Writings say to Pharaoh, For this same purpose did I put you on high, so that I might make my power seen in you, and that there might be knowledge of my name through all the earth.

bbe@Romans:9:20 @But, O man, who are you, to make answer against God? May the thing which is made say to him who made it, Why did you make me so?

bbe@Romans:9:22 @What if God, desiring to let his wrath and his power be seen, for a long time put up with the vessels of wrath which were ready for destruction:

bbe@Romans:9:26 @And in the place where it was said to them, You are not my people, there they will be named the sons of the living God.

bbe@Romans:9:28 @For the Lord will give effect to his word on the earth, putting an end to it and cutting it short.

bbe@Romans:9:30 @What then may we say? That the nations who did not go after righteousness have got righteousness, even the righteousness which is of faith:

bbe@Romans:9:31 @But Israel, going after a law of righteousness, did not get it.

bbe@Romans:9:32 @Why? Because they were not searching for it by faith, but by works. They came up against the stone which was in the way;

bbe@Romans:9:33 @As it is said, See, I am putting in Zion a stone causing a fall, and a rock in the way: but he who has faith in him will not be put to shame.

bbe@Romans:10:2 @For I give witness of them that they have a strong desire for God, but not with knowledge.

bbe@Romans:10:4 @For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to everyone who has faith.

bbe@Romans:10:5 @For Moses says that the man who does the righteousness which is of the law will get life by it.

bbe@Romans:10:6 @But the righteousness which is of faith says these words, Say not in your heart, Who will go up to heaven? (that is, to make Christ come down:)

bbe@Romans:10:8 @But what does it say? The word is near you, in your mouth and in your heart: that is, the word of faith of which we are the preachers:

bbe@Romans:10:9 @Because, if you say with your mouth that Jesus is Lord, and have faith in your heart that God has made him come back from the dead, you will have salvation:

bbe@Romans:10:10 @For with the heart man has faith to get righteousness, and with the mouth he says that Jesus is Lord to get salvation.

bbe@Romans:10:11 @Because it is said in the holy Writings, Whoever has faith in him will not be shamed.

bbe@Romans:10:14 @But how will they give worship to him in whom they have no faith? and how will they have faith in him of whom they have not had news? and how will they have news without a preacher?

bbe@Romans:10:15 @And how will there be preachers if they are not sent? As it is said, How beautiful are the feet of those who give the glad news of good things.

bbe@Romans:10:16 @But they have not all given ear to the good news. For Isaiah says, Lord, who has had faith in our word?

bbe@Romans:10:17 @So faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of Christ.

bbe@Romans:10:20 @And Isaiah says without fear, Those who were not searching for me made discovery of me; and I was seen by those whose hearts were turned away from me.

bbe@Romans:11:2 @God has not put away the people of his selection. Or have you no knowledge of what is said about Elijah in the holy Writings? how he says words to God against Israel,

bbe@Romans:11:6 @But if it is of grace, then it is no longer of works: or grace would not be grace.

bbe@Romans:11:7 @What then? That which Israel was searching for he did not get, but those of the selection got it and the rest were made hard.

bbe@Romans:11:8 @As it was said in the holy Writings, God gave them a spirit of sleep, eyes which might not see, and ears which have no hearing, to this day.

bbe@Romans:11:13 @But I say to you, Gentiles, in so far as I am the Apostle of the Gentiles, I make much of my position:

bbe@Romans:11:15 @For, if by their putting away, the rest of men have been made friends with God, what will their coming back again be, but life from the dead?

bbe@Romans:11:16 @And if the first-fruit is holy, so is the mass: and if the root is holy, so are the branches.

bbe@Romans:11:17 @But if some of the branches were broken off, and you, an olive-tree of the fields, were put in among them, and were given a part with them in the root by which the olive-tree is made fertile,

bbe@Romans:11:18 @Do not be uplifted in pride over the branches: because it is not you who are the support of the root, but it is by the root that you are supported.

bbe@Romans:11:20 @Truly, because they had no faith they were broken off, and you have your place by reason of your faith. Do not be lifted up in pride, but have fear;

bbe@Romans:11:22 @See then that God is good but his rules are fixed: to those who were put away he was hard, but to you he has been good, on the condition that you keep in his mercy; if not, you will be cut off as they were.

bbe@Romans:11:23 @And they, if they do not go on without faith, will be united to the tree again, because God is able to put them in again.

bbe@Romans:11:24 @For if you were cut out of a field olive-tree, and against the natural use were united to a good olive-tree, how much more will these, the natural branches, be united again with the olive-tree which was theirs?

bbe@Romans:11:25 @For it is my desire, brothers, that this secret may be clear to you, so that you may not have pride in your knowledge, that Israel has been made hard in part, till all the Gentiles have come in;

bbe@Romans:11:26 @And so all Israel will get salvation: as it is said in the holy Writings, There will come out of Zion the One who makes free; by him wrongdoing will be taken away from Jacob:

bbe@Romans:11:27 @And this is my agreement with them, when I will take away their sins.

bbe@Romans:11:35 @Or who has first given to him, and it will be given back to him again?

bbe@Romans:11:36 @For of him, and through him, and to him, are all things. To him be the glory for ever. So be it.

bbe@Romans:12:1 @For this reason I make request to you, brothers, by the mercies of God, that you will give your bodies as a living offering, holy, pleasing to God, which is the worship it is right for you to give him.

bbe@Romans:12:3 @But I say to every one of you, through the grace given to me, not to have an over-high opinion of himself, but to have wise thoughts, as God has given to every one a measure of faith.

bbe@Romans:12:6 @And having different qualities by reason of the grace given to us, such as the quality of a prophet, let it be made use of in relation to the measure of our faith;

bbe@Romans:12:7 @Or the position of a Deacon of the church, let a man give himself to it; or he who has the power of teaching, let him make use of it;

bbe@Romans:12:8 @He who has the power of comforting, let him do so; he who gives, let him give freely; he who has the power of ruling, let him do it with a serious mind; he who has mercy on others, let it be with joy.

bbe@Romans:12:9 @Let love be without deceit. Be haters of what is evil; keep your minds fixed on what is good.

bbe@Romans:12:10 @Be kind to one another with a brother's love, putting others before yourselves in honour;

bbe@Romans:12:11 @Be not slow in your work, but be quick in spirit, as the Lord's servants;

bbe@Romans:12:16 @Be in harmony with one another. Do not have a high opinion of yourselves, but be in agreement with common people. Do not give yourselves an air of wisdom.

bbe@Romans:12:18 @As far as it is possible for you be at peace with all men.

bbe@Romans:12:19 @Do not give punishment for wrongs done to you, dear brothers, but give way to the wrath of God; for it is said in the holy Writings, Punishment is mine, I will give reward, says the Lord.

bbe@Romans:12:20 @But if one who has hate for you is in need of food or of drink, give it to him, for in so doing you will put coals of fire on his head.

bbe@Romans:13:1 @Let everyone put himself under the authority of the higher powers, because there is no power which is not of God, and all powers are ordered by God.

bbe@Romans:13:2 @For which reason everyone who puts himself against the authority puts himself against the order of God: and those who are against it will get punishment for themselves.

bbe@Romans:13:3 @For rulers are not a cause of fear to the good work but to the evil. If you would have no fear of the authority, do good and you will have praise;

bbe@Romans:13:5 @So put yourselves under the authority, not for fear of wrath, but because you have the knowledge of what is right.

bbe@Romans:13:6 @For the same reason, make payment of taxes; because the authority is God's servant, to take care of such things at all times.

bbe@Romans:13:7 @Give to all what is their right: taxes to him whose they are, payment to him whose right it is, fear to whom fear, honour to whom honour is to be given.

bbe@Romans:13:9 @And this, Do not be untrue in married life, Do not put to death, Do not take what is another's, Do not have desire for what is another's, and if there is any other order, it is covered by this word, Have love for your neighbour as for yourself.

bbe@Romans:13:11 @See then that the time has come for you to be awake from sleep: for now is your salvation nearer than when you first had faith.

bbe@Romans:13:12 @The night is far gone, and the day is near: so let us put off the works of the dark, arming ourselves with light,

bbe@Romans:13:13 @With right behaviour as in the day; not in pleasure-making and drinking, not in bad company and unclean behaviour, not in fighting and envy.

bbe@Romans:13:14 @But put on the Lord Jesus Christ, and do not give thought to the flesh to do its desires.

bbe@Romans:14:1 @Do not put on one side him who is feeble in faith, and do not put him in doubt by your reasonings.

bbe@Romans:14:2 @One man has faith to take all things as food: another who is feeble in faith takes only green food.

bbe@Romans:14:4 @Who are you to make yourself a judge of another man's servant? it is to his master that he is responsible for good or bad. Yes, his place will be safe, because the Lord is able to keep him from falling.

bbe@Romans:14:6 @He who keeps the day, keeps it to the Lord; and he who takes food, takes it as to the Lord, for he gives praise to God; and he who does not take food, to the Lord he takes it not, and gives praise to God.

bbe@Romans:14:8 @As long as we have life we are living to the Lord; or if we give up our life it is to the Lord; so if we are living, or if our life comes to an end, we are the Lord's.

bbe@Romans:14:11 @For it is said in the holy Writings, By my life, says the Lord, to me every knee will be bent, and every tongue will give worship to God.

bbe@Romans:14:13 @Then let us not be judges of one another any longer: but keep this in mind, that no man is to make it hard for his brother, or give him cause for doubting.

bbe@Romans:14:14 @I am conscious of this, and am certain in the Lord Jesus, that nothing is unclean in itself; but for the man in whose opinion it is unclean, for him it is unclean.

bbe@Romans:14:16 @Let it not be possible for men to say evil about your good:

bbe@Romans:14:17 @For the kingdom of God is not food and drink, but righteousness and peace and joy in the Holy Spirit

bbe@Romans:14:20 @Do not let the work of God come to nothing on account of food. All things are certainly clean; but it is evil for that man who by taking food makes it hard for another.

bbe@Romans:14:21 @It is better not to take meat or wine or to do anything which might be a cause of trouble to your brother.

bbe@Romans:14:22 @The faith which you have, have it to yourself before God. Happy is the man who is not judged by that to which he gives approval.

bbe@Romans:14:23 @But he who is in doubt is judged if he takes food, because he does it not in faith; and whatever is not of faith is sin.

bbe@Romans:15:3 @For Christ did not give pleasure to himself, but, as it is said, The bitter words of those who were angry with you came on me.

bbe@Romans:15:4 @Now those things which were put down in writing before our time were for our learning, so that through quiet waiting and through the comfort of the holy Writings we might have hope.

bbe@Romans:15:5 @Now may the God who gives comfort and strength in waiting make you of the same mind with one another in harmony with Christ Jesus:

bbe@Romans:15:6 @So that with one mouth you may give glory to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.

bbe@Romans:15:9 @And so that the Gentiles might give glory to God for his mercy; as it is said, For this reason I will give praise to you among the Gentiles, and I will make a song to your name.

bbe@Romans:15:13 @Now may the God of hope make you full of joy and peace through faith, so that all hope may be yours in the power of the Holy Spirit.

bbe@Romans:15:15 @But I have, in some measure, less fear in writing to you to put these things before you again, because of the grace which was given to me by God,

bbe@Romans:15:16 @To be a servant of Christ Jesus to the Gentiles, doing the work of a priest in the good news of God, so that the offering of the Gentiles might be pleasing to God, being made holy by the Holy Spirit.

bbe@Romans:15:19 @By signs and wonders, in the power of the Holy Spirit; so that from Jerusalem and round about as far as Illyricum I have given all the good news of Christ;

bbe@Romans:15:20 @Making it my purpose not to take the good news where Christ was named, so that my work might not be resting on that of others;

bbe@Romans:15:21 @But as it is said in the holy Writings, They will see, to whom the news of him had not been given, and those to whose ears it had not come will have knowledge.

bbe@Romans:15:24 @Whenever I go to Spain (for it is my hope to see you on my way, and to be sent on there by you, if first I may in some measure have been comforted by your company)--

bbe@Romans:15:26 @For it has been the good pleasure of those of Macedonia and Achaia to send a certain amount of money for the poor among the saints at Jerusalem.

bbe@Romans:15:27 @Yes, it has been their good pleasure; and they are in their debt. For if the Gentiles have had a part in the things of the Spirit which were theirs, it is right for them, in the same way, to give them help in the things of the flesh.

bbe@Romans:15:28 @So when I have done this, and have given them this fruit of love, I will go on by you into Spain.

bbe@Romans:15:30 @Now I make request to you, brothers, by our Lord Jesus Christ, and by the love of the Spirit, that you will be working together with me in your prayers to God for me;

bbe@Romans:15:32 @So that I may come to you in joy by the good pleasure of God, and have rest with you.

bbe@Romans:15:33 @Now may the God of peace be with you all. So be it.

bbe@Romans:16:1 @It is my desire to say a good word for Phoebe, who is a servant of the church in Cenchreae:

bbe@Romans:16:3 @Give my love to Prisca and Aquila, workers with me in Christ Jesus,

bbe@Romans:16:5 @And say a kind word to the church which is in their house. Give my love to my dear Epaenetus, who is the first fruit of Asia to Christ.

bbe@Romans:16:7 @Give my love to Andronicus and Junia, my relations, who were in prison with me, who are noted among the Apostles, and who were in Christ before me.

bbe@Romans:16:9 @Give my love to Urbanus, a worker in Christ with us, and to my dear Stachys.

bbe@Romans:16:14 @Give my love to Asyncritus, Phlegon, Hermes, Patrobas, Hermas, and the brothers who are with them.

bbe@Romans:16:15 @Give my love to Philologus and Julia, Nereus and his sister, and Olympas, and all the saints who are with them.

bbe@Romans:16:17 @Now, it is my desire, brothers, that you will take note of those who are causing division and trouble among you, quite against the teaching which was given to you: and keep away from them.

bbe@Romans:16:19 @For all have knowledge of how you do what you are ordered. For this reason I have joy in you, but it is my desire that you may be wise in what is good, and without knowledge of evil.

bbe@Romans:16:20 @And the God of peace will be crushing Satan under your feet before long. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you.

bbe@Romans:16:21 @Timothy, who is working with me, sends his love to you, so do Lucius and Jason and Sosipater, my relations

bbe@Romans:16:22 @I, Tertius, who have done the writing of this letter, send love in the Lord.

bbe@Romans:16:23 @Gaius, with whom I am living, whose house is open to all the church, sends his love, so does Erastus, the manager of the accounts of the town, and Quartus, the brother.

bbe@Romans:16:25 @Now to him who is able to make you strong in agreement with the good news which I gave you and the preaching of Jesus Christ, in the light of the revelation of that secret which has been kept through times eternal,

bbe@Romans:16:26 @But is now made clear; and by the writings of the prophets, by the order of the eternal God, the knowledge of it has been given to all the nations, so that they may come under the rule of the faith;

bbe@Romans:16:27 @To the only wise God, through Jesus Christ, be the glory for ever. So be it.

bbe@1Corinthians:1:2 @To the church of God which is in Corinth, to those who have been made holy in Christ Jesus, saints by the selection of God, with all those who in every place give honour to the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, their Lord and ours:

bbe@1Corinthians:1:6 @Even as the witness of the Christ has been made certain among you:

bbe@1Corinthians:1:9 @God is true, through whom you have been given a part with his Son, Jesus Christ our Lord.

bbe@1Corinthians:1:11 @Because it has come to my knowledge, through those of the house of Chloe, that there are divisions among you, my brothers.

bbe@1Corinthians:1:17 @For Christ sent me, not to give baptism, but to be a preacher of the good news: not with wise words, for fear that the cross of Christ might be made of no value.

bbe@1Corinthians:1:18 @For the word of the cross seems foolish to those who are on the way to destruction; but to us who are on the way to salvation it is the power of God.

bbe@1Corinthians:1:19 @As it says in the holy Writings, I will put an end to the wisdom of the wise, and will put on one side the designs of those who have knowledge.

bbe@1Corinthians:1:21 @For because, by the purpose of God, the world, with all its wisdom, had not the knowledge of God, it was God's pleasure, by so foolish a thing as preaching, to give salvation to those who had faith in him.

bbe@1Corinthians:1:28 @And the low things of the world, and the things without honour, did God make selection of, yes, even the things which are not, so that he might make as nothing the things which are:

bbe@1Corinthians:1:31 @So that, as it is said in the holy Writings, Whoever has a desire for glory, let his glory be in the Lord.

bbe@1Corinthians:2:1 @And when I came to you, my brothers, I did not come with wise words of knowledge, putting before you the secret of God.

bbe@1Corinthians:2:3 @And I was with you without strength, in fear and in doubt.

bbe@1Corinthians:2:4 @And in my preaching there were no honeyed words of wisdom, but I was dependent on the power of the Spirit to make it clear to you:

bbe@1Corinthians:2:5 @So that your faith might be based not on man's wisdom but on the power of God.

bbe@1Corinthians:2:9 @But as it says in the holy Writings, Things which the eye saw not, and which had not come to the ears or into the heart of man, such things as God has made ready for those who have love for him.

bbe@1Corinthians:2:10 @But God has given us the revelation of these things through his Spirit, for the Spirit makes search into all things, even the deep things of God.

bbe@1Corinthians:2:11 @For who has knowledge of the things of a man but the spirit of the man which is in him? in the same way, no one has knowledge of the things of God but the Spirit of God.

bbe@1Corinthians:2:12 @But we have not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit which comes from God, so that we may have knowledge of the things which are freely given to us by God.

bbe@1Corinthians:2:13 @And these are the things which we say, not in the language of man's wisdom, but in words given to us by the Spirit, judging the things of the spirit by the help of the Spirit.

bbe@1Corinthians:2:14 @For the natural man is not able to take in the things of the Spirit of God: for they seem foolish to him, and he is not able to have knowledge of them, because such knowledge comes only through the Spirit.

bbe@1Corinthians:2:15 @But he who has the Spirit, though judging all things, is himself judged by no one.

bbe@1Corinthians:3:1 @And the teaching I gave you, my brothers, was such as I was able to give, not to those who have the Spirit, but to those who are still in the flesh, even to children in Christ.

bbe@1Corinthians:3:2 @I gave you milk and not meat, because you were, then, unable to take it, and even now you are not able;

bbe@1Corinthians:3:5 @What then is Apollos? and what is Paul? They are but servants who gave you the good news as God gave it to them.

bbe@1Corinthians:3:9 @For we are workers with God: you are God's planting, God's building.

bbe@1Corinthians:3:10 @In the measure of the grace given to me, I, as a wise master-builder, have put the base in position, and another goes on building on it

bbe@1Corinthians:3:13 @Every man's work will be made clear in that day, because it will be tested by fire; and the fire itself will make clear the quality of every man's work.

bbe@1Corinthians:3:15 @If the fire puts an end to any man's work, it will be his loss: but he will get salvation himself, though as by fire.

bbe@1Corinthians:3:16 @Do you not see that you are God's holy house, and that the Spirit of God has his place in you?

bbe@1Corinthians:3:19 @For the wisdom of this world is foolish before God. As it is said in the holy Writings, He who takes the wise in their secret designs:

bbe@1Corinthians:4:2 @And it is right for such servants to be safe persons.

bbe@1Corinthians:4:3 @But it is a small thing to me that I am judged by you or by man's judging; I am not even a judge of myself.

bbe@1Corinthians:4:4 @For I am not conscious of any wrong in myself; but this does not make me clear, for it is the Lord who is my judge.

bbe@1Corinthians:4:6 @My brothers, it is because of you that I have taken Apollos and myself as examples of these things, so that in us you might see that it is not wise to go farther than what is in the holy Writings, so that no one of you may be lifted up against his brother.

bbe@1Corinthians:4:7 @For who made you better than your brother? or what have you that has not been given to you? but if it has been given to you, what cause have you for pride, as if it had not been given to you?

bbe@1Corinthians:4:8 @For even now you are full, even now you have wealth, you have been made kings without us: truly, I would be glad if you were kings, so that we might be kings with you.

bbe@1Corinthians:4:9 @For it seems to me that God has put us the Apostles last of all, as men whose fate is death: for we are put on view to the world, and to angels, and to men.

bbe@1Corinthians:4:11 @Even to this hour we are without food, drink, and clothing, we are given blows and have no certain resting-place;

bbe@1Corinthians:4:12 @And with our hands we do the hardest work: when they give us curses we give blessings, when we undergo punishment we take it quietly;

bbe@1Corinthians:4:19 @But I will come to you in a short time, if it is pleasing to the Lord, and I will take note, not of the word of those who are full of pride, but of the power.

bbe@1Corinthians:4:21 @What is your desire? is my coming to be with punishment, or is it to be in love and a gentle spirit?

bbe@1Corinthians:5:1 @It is said, in fact, that there is among you a sin of the flesh, such as is not seen even among the Gentiles, that one of you has his father's wife.

bbe@1Corinthians:5:2 @And in place of feeling sorrow, you are pleased with yourselves, so that he who has done this thing has not been sent away from among you.

bbe@1Corinthians:5:3 @For I myself, being present in spirit though not in body, have come to a decision about him who has done this thing;

bbe@1Corinthians:5:4 @In the name of our Lord Jesus, when you have come together with my spirit, with the power of our Lord Jesus,

bbe@1Corinthians:5:5 @That this man is to be handed over to Satan for the destruction of the flesh, so that his spirit may have forgiveness in the day of the Lord Jesus.

bbe@1Corinthians:5:6 @This pride of yours is not good. Do you not see that a little leaven makes a change in all the mass?

bbe@1Corinthians:5:7 @Take away, then, the old leaven, so that you may be a new mass, even as you are without leaven. For Christ has been put to death as our Passover.

bbe@1Corinthians:5:8 @Let us then keep the feast, not with old leaven, and not with the leaven of evil thoughts and acts, but with the unleavened bread of true thoughts and right feelings.

bbe@1Corinthians:5:9 @In my letter I said to you that you were not to keep company with those who go after the desires of the flesh;

bbe@1Corinthians:5:10 @But I had not in mind the sinners who are outside the church, or those who have a desire for and take the property of others, or those who give worship to images; for it is not possible to keep away from such people without going out of the world completely:

bbe@1Corinthians:5:11 @But the sense of my letter was that if a brother had the name of being one who went after the desires of the flesh, or had the desire for other people's property, or was in the way of using violent language, or being the worse for drink, or took by force what was not his, you might not keep company with such a one, or take food with him.

bbe@1Corinthians:5:12 @For it is no business of mine to be judging those who are outside; but it is yours to be judging those who are among you;

bbe@1Corinthians:6:1 @How is it, that if any one of you has a cause at law against another, he takes it before a Gentile judge and not before the saints?

bbe@1Corinthians:6:2 @Is it not certain that the saints will be the judges of the world? if then the world will be judged by you, are you unable to give a decision about the smallest things?

bbe@1Corinthians:6:3 @Is it not certain that we are to be the judges of angels? how much more then of the things of this life?

bbe@1Corinthians:6:4 @If then there are questions to be judged in connection with the things of this life, why do you put them in the hands of those who have no position in the church?

bbe@1Corinthians:6:6 @But a brother who has a cause at law against another takes it before Gentile judges.

bbe@1Corinthians:6:7 @More than this, it is not to your credit to have causes at law with one another at all. Why not put up with wrong? why not undergo loss?

bbe@1Corinthians:6:11 @And such were some of you; but you have been washed, you have been made holy, you have been given righteousness in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and in the Spirit of our God.

bbe@1Corinthians:6:15 @Do you not see that your bodies are part of the body of Christ? how then may I take what is a part of the body of Christ and make it a part of the body of a loose woman? such a thing may not be.

bbe@1Corinthians:6:16 @Or do you not see that he who is joined to a loose woman is one body with her? for God has said, The two of them will become one flesh.

bbe@1Corinthians:6:17 @But he who is united to the Lord is one spirit.

bbe@1Corinthians:6:19 @Or are you not conscious that your body is a house for the Holy Spirit which is in you, and which has been given to you by God? and you are not the owners of yourselves;

bbe@1Corinthians:7:1 @Now, as to the things in your letter to me: It is good for a man to have nothing to do with a woman.

bbe@1Corinthians:7:7 @It is my desire that all men might be even as I am. But every man has the power of his special way of life given him by God, one in this way and one in that.

bbe@1Corinthians:7:8 @But I say to the unmarried and to the widows, It is good for them to be even as I am.

bbe@1Corinthians:7:11 @(Or if she goes away from him, let her keep unmarried, or be united to her husband again); and that the husband may not go away from his wife.

bbe@1Corinthians:7:12 @But to the rest I say, and not the Lord; If a brother has a wife who is not a Christian, and it is her desire to go on living with him, let him not go away from her.

bbe@1Corinthians:7:13 @And if a woman has a husband who is not a Christian, and it is his desire to go on living with her, let her not go away from her husband.

bbe@1Corinthians:7:14 @For the husband who has not faith is made holy through his Christian wife, and the wife who is not a Christian is made holy through the brother: if not, your children would be unholy, but now are they holy.

bbe@1Corinthians:7:15 @But if the one who is not a Christian has a desire to go away, let it be so: the brother or the sister in such a position is not forced to do one thing or the other: but it is God's pleasure that we may be at peace with one another.

bbe@1Corinthians:7:19 @Circumcision is nothing, and its opposite is nothing, but only doing the orders of God is of value.

bbe@1Corinthians:7:20 @Let every man keep the position in which he has been placed by God.

bbe@1Corinthians:7:21 @If you were a servant when you became a Christian, let it not be a grief to you; but if you have a chance to become free, make use of it.

bbe@1Corinthians:7:23 @It is the Lord who has made payment for you: be not servants of men.

bbe@1Corinthians:7:24 @My brothers, let every man keep in that condition which is the purpose of God for him.

bbe@1Corinthians:7:26 @In my opinion then, because of the present trouble, it is good for a man to keep as he is.

bbe@1Corinthians:7:28 @If you get married it is not a sin; and if an unmarried woman gets married it is not a sin. But those who do so will have trouble in the flesh. But I will not be hard on you.

bbe@1Corinthians:7:29 @But I say this, my brothers, the time is short; and from now it will be wise for those who have wives to be as if they had them not;

bbe@1Corinthians:7:30 @And for those who are in sorrow, to give no signs of it; and for those who are glad, to give no signs of joy; and for those who are getting property, to be as if they had nothing;

bbe@1Corinthians:7:31 @And for those who make use of the world, not to be using it fully; for this world's way of life will quickly come to an end.

bbe@1Corinthians:7:32 @But it is my desire for you to be free from cares. The unmarried man gives his mind to the things of the Lord, how he may give pleasure to the Lord:

bbe@1Corinthians:7:34 @And the wife is not the same as the virgin. The virgin gives her mind to the things of the Lord, so that she may be holy in body and in spirit: but the married woman takes thought for the things of the world, how she may give pleasure to her husband.

bbe@1Corinthians:7:35 @Now I say this for your profit; not to make things hard for you, but because of what is right, and so that you may be able to give all your attention to the things of the Lord.

bbe@1Corinthians:7:36 @But if, in any man's opinion, he is not doing what is right for his virgin, if she is past her best years, and there is need for it, let him do what seems right to him; it is no sin; let them be married.

bbe@1Corinthians:7:39 @It is right for a wife to be with her husband as long as he is living; but when her husband is dead, she is free to be married to another; but only to a Christian.

bbe@1Corinthians:7:40 @But it will be better for her to keep as she is, in my opinion: and it seems to me that I have the Spirit of God.

bbe@1Corinthians:8:7 @Still, all men have not that knowledge: but some, being used till now to the image, are conscious that they are taking food which has been offered to the image; and because they are not strong in the faith, their minds are troubled.

bbe@1Corinthians:8:8 @But God's approval of us is not based on the food we take: if we do not take it we are no worse for it; and if we take it we are no better.

bbe@1Corinthians:8:10 @For if a man sees you, who have knowledge, taking food as a guest in the house of an image, will it not give him, if he is feeble, the idea that he may take food offered to images?

bbe@1Corinthians:8:12 @And in this way, doing evil to the brothers, and causing trouble to those whose faith is feeble, you are sinning against Christ.

bbe@1Corinthians:9:5 @Have we no right to take about with us a Christian wife, like the rest of the Apostles, and the brothers of the Lord, and Cephas?

bbe@1Corinthians:9:7 @Who ever goes to war without looking to someone to be responsible for his payment? who puts in vines and does not take the fruit of them? or who takes care of sheep without drinking of their milk?

bbe@1Corinthians:9:9 @For it says in the law of Moses, It is not right to keep the ox from taking the grain when he is crushing it. Is it for the oxen that God is giving orders?

bbe@1Corinthians:9:10 @Or has he us in mind? Yes, it was said for us; because it is right for the ploughman to do his ploughing in hope, and for him who is crushing the grain to do his work hoping for a part in the fruits of it.

bbe@1Corinthians:9:11 @If we have been planting the things of the Spirit for you, does it seem a great thing for you to give us a part in your things of this world?

bbe@1Corinthians:9:15 @But I have not made use of any of these things: and I am not writing this in the hope that it may be so for me: for it would be better for me to undergo death, than for any man to make this pride of mine of no effect.

bbe@1Corinthians:9:17 @But if I do it gladly, I have a reward; and if not, I am under orders to do it.

bbe@1Corinthians:9:18 @What then is my reward? This, that when I am giving the good news, I may give it without payment, not making use of my rights as a preacher of the good news.

bbe@1Corinthians:9:21 @To those without the law I was as one without the law, not as being without law to God, but as under law to Christ, so that I might give the good news to those without the law.

bbe@1Corinthians:9:23 @And I do all things for the cause of the good news, so that I may have a part in it.

bbe@1Corinthians:9:24 @Do you not see that in a running competition all take part, but only one gets the reward? So let your minds be fixed on the reward.

bbe@1Corinthians:9:25 @And every man who takes part in the sports has self-control in all things. Now they do it to get a crown which is of this world, but we for an eternal crown.

bbe@1Corinthians:9:27 @But I give blows to my body, and keep it under control, for fear that, after having given the good news to others, I myself might not have God's approval.

bbe@1Corinthians:10:1 @For it is my desire, my brothers, that you may keep in mind how all our fathers were under the cloud, and they all went through the sea;

bbe@1Corinthians:10:5 @But with most of them God was not pleased: for they came to their end in the waste land.

bbe@1Corinthians:10:7 @Then do not go after false gods, as some of them did; as it is said in the holy Writings, After resting and feasting, the people got up to take their pleasure.

bbe@1Corinthians:10:11 @Now these things were done as an example; and were put down in writing for our teaching, on whom the last days have come.

bbe@1Corinthians:10:13 @You have been put to no test but such as is common to man: and God is true, who will not let any test come on you which you are not able to undergo; but he will make with the test a way out of it, so that you may be able to go through it.

bbe@1Corinthians:10:15 @What I am saying is for wise men, do you be the judges of it.

bbe@1Corinthians:10:16 @The cup of blessing which we take, does it not give us a part in the blood of Christ? and is not the broken bread a taking part in the body of Christ?

bbe@1Corinthians:10:20 @What I say is that the things offered by the Gentiles are offered to evil spirits and not to God; and it is not my desire for you to have any part with evil spirits.

bbe@1Corinthians:10:21 @It is not possible for you, at the same time, to take the cup of the Lord and the cup of evil spirits; you may not take part in the table of the Lord and the table of evil spirits.

bbe@1Corinthians:10:23 @We are free to do all things, but there are things which it is not wise to do. We are free to do all things, but not all things are for the common good.

bbe@1Corinthians:10:25 @Whatever meat may be had at the public market, take as food without question of right or wrong;

bbe@1Corinthians:10:26 @For the earth is the Lord's and all things in it.

bbe@1Corinthians:10:27 @If a Gentile makes a feast for you, and you are pleased to go as a guest, take whatever is put before you, without question of right or wrong.

bbe@1Corinthians:10:28 @But if anyone says to you, This food has been used as an offering, do not take it, on account of him who said it, and on account of his sense of right and wrong:

bbe@1Corinthians:10:31 @So then, if it is a question of food or drink, or any other thing, whatever you do, do all to the glory of God.

bbe@1Corinthians:10:33 @Even as I give way to all men in all things, not looking for profit for myself, but for the good of others, that they may get salvation.

bbe@1Corinthians:11:3 @But it is important for you to keep this fact in mind, that the head of every man is Christ; and the head of the woman is the man, and the head of Christ is God.

bbe@1Corinthians:11:4 @Every man who takes part in prayer, or gives teaching as a prophet, with his head covered, puts shame on his head.

bbe@1Corinthians:11:5 @But every woman who does so with her head unveiled, puts shame on her head: for it is the same as if her hair was cut off.

bbe@1Corinthians:11:6 @For if a woman is not veiled, let her hair be cut off; but if it is a shame to a woman to have her hair cut off, let her be veiled.

bbe@1Corinthians:11:7 @For it is not right for a man to have his head covered, because he is the image and glory of God: but the woman is the glory of the man.

bbe@1Corinthians:11:10 @For this reason it is right for the woman to have a sign of authority on her head, because of the angels.

bbe@1Corinthians:11:13 @Be judges yourselves of the question: does it seem right for a woman to take part in prayer unveiled?

bbe@1Corinthians:11:14 @Does it not seem natural to you that if a man has long hair, it is a cause of shame to him?

bbe@1Corinthians:11:15 @But if a woman has long hair, it is a glory to her: for her hair is given to her for a covering.

bbe@1Corinthians:11:16 @But if any man will not be ruled in this question, this is not our way of doing things, and it is not done in the churches of God.

bbe@1Corinthians:11:17 @But in giving you this order, there is one thing about which I am not pleased: it is that when you come together it is not for the better but for the worse.

bbe@1Corinthians:11:18 @For first of all, it has come to my ears that when you come together in the church, there are divisions among you, and I take the statement to be true in part.

bbe@1Corinthians:11:20 @But now, when you come together, it is not possible to take the holy meal of the Lord:

bbe@1Corinthians:11:23 @For it was handed down to me from the Lord, as I gave it to you, that the Lord Jesus, on the night when Judas was false to him, took bread,

bbe@1Corinthians:11:24 @And when it had been broken with an act of praise, he said, This is my body which is for you: do this in memory of me.

bbe@1Corinthians:11:25 @In the same way, with the cup, after the meal, he said, This cup is the new testament in my blood: do this, whenever you take it, in memory of me.

bbe@1Corinthians:11:26 @For whenever you take the bread and the cup you give witness to the Lord's death till he comes.

bbe@1Corinthians:11:27 @If, then, anyone takes the bread or the cup of the Lord in the wrong spirit, he will be responsible for the body and blood of the Lord.

bbe@1Corinthians:11:28 @But let no man take of the bread and the cup without testing himself.

bbe@1Corinthians:11:29 @For a man puts himself in danger, if he takes part in the holy meal without being conscious that it is the Lord's body.

bbe@1Corinthians:11:32 @But if punishment does come, it is sent by the Lord, so that we may be safe when the world is judged.

bbe@1Corinthians:11:33 @So then, my brothers, when you come together to the holy meal of the Lord, let there be waiting for one another.

bbe@1Corinthians:12:1 @But about the things of the spirit, my brothers, it is not right for you to be without teaching.

bbe@1Corinthians:12:2 @You are conscious that when you were Gentiles, in whatever way you were guided, you went after images without voice or power.

bbe@1Corinthians:12:3 @So it is my desire for you to be clear about this; that no one is able to say by the Spirit of God that Jesus is cursed; and no one is able to say that Jesus is Lord, but by the Holy Spirit.

bbe@1Corinthians:12:4 @Now there are different qualities given to men, but the same Spirit.

bbe@1Corinthians:12:7 @But to every man some form of the Spirit's working is given for the common good.

bbe@1Corinthians:12:8 @For to one are given words of wisdom through the Spirit; and to another words of knowledge through the same Spirit:

bbe@1Corinthians:12:9 @To another faith in the same Spirit; and to another the power of taking away disease, by the one Spirit;

bbe@1Corinthians:12:10 @And to another the power of working wonders; and to another the prophet's word; and to another the power of testing spirits; to another different sorts of tongues; and to another the power of making clear the sense of the tongues:

bbe@1Corinthians:12:11 @But all these are the operations of the one and the same Spirit, giving to every man separately as his pleasure is.

bbe@1Corinthians:12:13 @For through the baptism of the one Spirit we were all formed into one body, Jews or Greeks, servants or free men, and were all made full of the same Spirit

bbe@1Corinthians:12:15 @If the foot says, Because I am not the hand, I am not a part of the body; it is no less a part of the body.

bbe@1Corinthians:12:16 @And if the ear says, Because I am not the eye, I am not a part of the body; it is a part of the body all the same.

bbe@1Corinthians:12:18 @But now God has put every one of the parts in the body as it was pleasing to him.

bbe@1Corinthians:12:24 @But those parts of the body which are beautiful have no need of such care: and so the body has been joined together by God in such a way as to give more honour to those parts which had need of it;

bbe@1Corinthians:12:26 @And if there is pain in one part of the body, all the parts will be feeling it; or if one part is honoured, all the parts will be glad.

bbe@1Corinthians:12:27 @Now you are the body of Christ, and every one of you the separate parts of it.

bbe@1Corinthians:12:28 @And God has put some in the church, first, Apostles; second, prophets; third, teachers; then those with wonder-working powers, then those with the power of taking away disease, helpers, wise guides, users of strange tongues.

bbe@1Corinthians:12:31 @But let your desires be turned to the more important things given by the Spirit. And now I am pointing out to you an even better way.

bbe@1Corinthians:13:2 @And if I have a prophet's power, and have knowledge of all secret things; and if I have all faith, by which mountains may be moved from their place, but have not love, I am nothing.

bbe@1Corinthians:13:3 @And if I give all my goods to the poor, and if I give my body to be burned, but have not love, it is of no profit to me.

bbe@1Corinthians:13:4 @Love is never tired of waiting; love is kind; love has no envy; love has no high opinion of itself, love has no pride;

bbe@1Corinthians:13:5 @Love's ways are ever fair, it takes no thought for itself; it is not quickly made angry, it takes no account of evil;

bbe@1Corinthians:13:6 @It takes no pleasure in wrongdoing, but has joy in what is true;

bbe@1Corinthians:13:7 @Love has the power of undergoing all things, having faith in all things, hoping all things.

bbe@1Corinthians:13:12 @For now we see things in a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now my knowledge is in part; then it will be complete, even as God's knowledge of me.

bbe@1Corinthians:13:13 @But now we still have faith, hope, love, these three; and the greatest of these is love.

bbe@1Corinthians:14:1 @Go after love; still desiring to have the things which the Spirit gives, but most of all that you may have the prophet's power.

bbe@1Corinthians:14:2 @For he who makes use of tongues is not talking to men but to God; because no one has the sense of what he is saying; but in the Spirit he is talking of secret things.

bbe@1Corinthians:14:5 @Now though it is my desire for you all to have the power of tongues, it would give me more pleasure to be hearing the prophet's word from you; for this is a greater thing than using tongues, if the sense is not given at the same time, for the good of the church.

bbe@1Corinthians:14:6 @But, now, my brothers, if I come to you using tongues, what profit will it be to you, if I do not give you a revelation, or knowledge, or the word of the prophet, or teaching?

bbe@1Corinthians:14:7 @Even things without life, having a voice, such as a music-pipe or other instrument, if they do not give out different sounds, who may be certain what is being played?

bbe@1Corinthians:14:10 @There are, it may be, a number of different voices in the world, and no voice is without sense.

bbe@1Corinthians:14:12 @So if you are desiring the things which the Spirit gives, let your minds be turned first to the things which are for the good of the church.

bbe@1Corinthians:14:14 @For if I make use of tongues in my prayers, my spirit makes the prayer, but not my mind.

bbe@1Corinthians:14:15 @What then? let my prayer be from the spirit, and equally from the mind; let my song be from the spirit, and equally from mind.

bbe@1Corinthians:14:16 @For if you give a blessing with the spirit, how will the man who has no knowledge say, So be it, after your prayer, seeing that he has not taken in what you are saying?

bbe@1Corinthians:14:17 @For your giving of the blessing is certainly well done, but of no profit to the man without knowledge

bbe@1Corinthians:14:19 @But in the church it would be better for me to make use of five words of which the sense was clear, so that others might have profit, than ten thousand words in a strange tongue.

bbe@1Corinthians:14:20 @My brothers, do not be children in mind: in evil be as little children, but in mind be of full growth.

bbe@1Corinthians:14:21 @In the law it is said, By men of other tongues and by strange lips will my words come to this people; and not even so will they give ear to me, says the Lord.

bbe@1Corinthians:14:22 @For this reason tongues are for a sign, not to those who have faith, but to those who have not: but the prophet's word is for those who have faith, and not for the rest who have not.

bbe@1Corinthians:14:23 @If, then, the church has come together, and all are using tongues, and there come in men without knowledge or faith, will they not say that you are unbalanced?

bbe@1Corinthians:14:24 @But if all are teaching as prophets, and a man without faith or knowledge comes in, he is tested by all, he is judged by all;

bbe@1Corinthians:14:26 @What is it then, my brothers? when you come together everyone has a holy song, or a revelation, or a tongue, or is giving the sense of it. Let everything be done for the common good.

bbe@1Corinthians:14:27 @If any man makes use of a tongue, let it not be more than two, or at the most three, and in turn; and let someone give the sense:

bbe@1Corinthians:14:32 @And the spirits of the prophets are controlled by the prophets;

bbe@1Corinthians:14:33 @For God is not a God whose ways are without order, but a God of peace; as in all the churches of the saints.

bbe@1Corinthians:14:34 @Let women keep quiet in the churches: for it is not right for them to be talking; but let them be under control, as it says in the law.

bbe@1Corinthians:14:36 @What? was it from you that the word of God went out? or did it only come in to you?

bbe@1Corinthians:14:37 @If any man seems to himself to be a prophet or to have the Spirit, let him take note of the things which I am writing to you, as being the word of the Lord.

bbe@1Corinthians:14:38 @But if any man is without knowledge, let him be so.

bbe@1Corinthians:14:39 @So then, my brothers, let it be your chief desire to be prophets; but let no one be stopped from using tongues.

bbe@1Corinthians:15:1 @Now I am going to make clear to you, my brothers, what the good news was which I gave to you, and which you took, and on which your faith is based,

bbe@1Corinthians:15:2 @By which you have salvation; that is to say, the form in which it was given to you, if it is fixed in your minds, and if your faith in it is not without effect.

bbe@1Corinthians:15:3 @For I gave to you first of all what was handed down to me, how Christ underwent death for our sins, as it says in the Writings;

bbe@1Corinthians:15:4 @And he was put in the place of the dead; and on the third day he came back from the dead, as it says in the Writings;

bbe@1Corinthians:15:10 @But by the grace of God, I am what I am: and his grace which was given to me has not been for nothing; for I did more work than all of them; though not I, but the grace of God which was with me.

bbe@1Corinthians:15:11 @If then it is I who am the preacher, or they, this is our word, and to this you have given your faith.

bbe@1Corinthians:15:14 @And if Christ did not come again from the dead, then our good news and your faith in it are of no effect.

bbe@1Corinthians:15:15 @Yes, and we are seen to be false witnesses of God; because we gave witness of God that by his power Christ came again from the dead: which is not true if there is no coming back from the dead.

bbe@1Corinthians:15:16 @For if it is not possible for the dead to come to life again, then Christ has not come to life again:

bbe@1Corinthians:15:17 @And if that is so, your faith is of no effect; you are still in your sins.

bbe@1Corinthians:15:18 @And, in addition, the dead in Christ have gone to destruction.

bbe@1Corinthians:15:20 @But now Christ has truly come back from the dead, the first-fruits of those who are sleeping.

bbe@1Corinthians:15:23 @But every man in his right order: Christ the first-fruits; then those who are Christ's at his coming.

bbe@1Corinthians:15:24 @Then comes the end, when he will give up the kingdom to God, even the Father; when he will have put an end to all rule and to all authority and power.

bbe@1Corinthians:15:27 @For, as it says, He has put all things under his feet. But when he says, All things are put under him, it is clear that it is not said about him who put all things under him.

bbe@1Corinthians:15:32 @If, after the way of men, I was fighting with beasts at Ephesus, what profit is it to me? If the dead do not come to life again, let us take our pleasure in feasting, for tomorrow we come to an end.

bbe@1Corinthians:15:35 @But someone will say, How do the dead come back? and with what sort of body do they come?

bbe@1Corinthians:15:36 @Foolish man, it is necessary for the seed which you put into the earth to undergo death in order that it may come to life again:

bbe@1Corinthians:15:37 @And when you put it into the earth, you do not put in the body which it will be, but only the seed, of grain or some other sort of plant;

bbe@1Corinthians:15:38 @But God gives it a body, as it is pleasing to him, and to every seed its special body.

bbe@1Corinthians:15:42 @So is it with the coming back from the dead. It is planted in death; it comes again in life:

bbe@1Corinthians:15:43 @It is planted in shame; it comes again in glory: feeble when it is planted, it comes again in power:

bbe@1Corinthians:15:44 @It is planted a natural body; it comes again as a body of the spirit. If there is a natural body, there is equally a body of the spirit.

bbe@1Corinthians:15:45 @And so it is said, The first man Adam was a living soul. The last Adam is a life-giving spirit.

bbe@1Corinthians:15:46 @But that which is natural comes before that which is of the spirit.

bbe@1Corinthians:15:50 @Now I say this, my brothers, that it is not possible for flesh and blood to have a part in the kingdom of God; and death may not have a part in life.

bbe@1Corinthians:15:54 @But when this has taken place, then that which was said in the Writings will come true, Death is overcome by life.

bbe@1Corinthians:15:58 @For this cause, my dear brothers, be strong in purpose and unmoved, ever giving yourselves to the work of the Lord, because you are certain that your work is not without effect in the Lord.

bbe@1Corinthians:16:2 @On the first day of the week, let every one of you put by him in store, in measure as he has done well in business, so that it may not be necessary to get money together when I come.

bbe@1Corinthians:16:3 @And when I come, I will send the men of your selection with letters to take the money you have got together to Jerusalem.

bbe@1Corinthians:16:4 @And if it is possible for me to go there, they will go with me.

bbe@1Corinthians:16:6 @But I may be with you for a time, or even for the winter, so that you may see me on my way, wherever I go.

bbe@1Corinthians:16:7 @For it is not my desire to see you now, on my way; because it is my hope to be with you for some time, if that is the Lord's pleasure.

bbe@1Corinthians:16:10 @Now if Timothy comes, see that he is with you without fear; because he is doing the Lord's work, even as I am:

bbe@1Corinthians:16:11 @See then that he has the honour which is right. But send him on his way in peace, so that he may come to me: for I am looking for him with the brothers.

bbe@1Corinthians:16:12 @But as for Apollos, the brother, I had a great desire for him to come to you with the brothers, but it was not his pleasure to come now; but he will come when he has a chance.

bbe@1Corinthians:16:13 @Be on the watch, unmoved in the faith, and be strong like men.

bbe@1Corinthians:16:15 @Now I make my request to you, my brothers, for you have knowledge that the house of Stephanas is the first-fruits of Achaia, and that they have made themselves the servants of the saints,

bbe@1Corinthians:16:18 @For they gave comfort to my spirit and to yours: for which cause give respect to such people.

bbe@1Corinthians:16:19 @The churches of Asia send their love to you. So do Aquila and Prisca, with the church which is in their house.

bbe@1Corinthians:16:21 @I, Paul, send you these words of love in my writing

bbe@1Corinthians:16:23 @The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you.

bbe@1Corinthians:16:24 @My love be with you all in Christ Jesus. So be it.

bbe@2Corinthians:1:1 @Paul, an Apostle of Jesus Christ by the purpose of God, and Timothy the brother, to the church of God which is in Corinth, with all the saints who are in all Achaia:

bbe@2Corinthians:1:4 @Who gives us comfort in all our troubles, so that we may be able to give comfort to others who are in trouble, through the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God.

bbe@2Corinthians:1:6 @But if we are troubled, it is for your comfort and salvation; or if we are comforted, it is for your comfort, which takes effect through your quiet undergoing of the same troubles which we undergo:

bbe@2Corinthians:1:8 @For it is our desire that you may not be without knowledge of our trouble which came on us in Asia, that the weight of it was very great, more than our power, so that it seemed that we had no hope even of life:

bbe@2Corinthians:1:13 @For in our letters we say no other things to you, but those which you are reading, and to which you give agreement, and, it is my hope, will go on doing so to the end:

bbe@2Corinthians:1:15 @And being certain of this, it was my purpose to come to you before, so that you might have a second grace;

bbe@2Corinthians:1:21 @Now he who makes our faith strong together with you, in Christ, and has given us of his grace, is God;

bbe@2Corinthians:1:22 @And it is he who has put his stamp on us, even the Spirit, as the sign in our hearts of the coming glory.

bbe@2Corinthians:1:23 @But God is my witness that it was in pity for you that I did not come to Corinth at that time.

bbe@2Corinthians:1:24 @Not that we have authority over your faith, but we are helpers of your joy: for it is faith which is your support.

bbe@2Corinthians:2:1 @But it was my decision for myself, not to come again to you with sorrow.

bbe@2Corinthians:2:3 @And I said this very thing in my letter, for fear that when I came I might have sorrow from those from whom it was right for me to have joy; being certain of this, that my joy is the joy of you all.

bbe@2Corinthians:2:6 @Let it be enough for such a man to have undergone the punishment which the church put on him;

bbe@2Corinthians:2:7 @So that now, on the other hand, it is right for him to have forgiveness and comfort from you, for fear that his sorrow may be over-great.

bbe@2Corinthians:2:10 @But if you give forgiveness to anyone, I do the same: for if I have given forgiveness for anything, I have done it because of you, in the person of Christ;

bbe@2Corinthians:2:11 @So that Satan may not get the better of us: for we are not without knowledge of his designs.

bbe@2Corinthians:2:13 @I had no rest in my spirit because Titus my brother was not there: so I went away from them, and came into Macedonia.

bbe@2Corinthians:2:16 @To the one it is a perfume of death to death; to the other a perfume of life to life. And who is enough for such things?

bbe@2Corinthians:2:17 @For we are not like the great number who make use of the word of God for profit: but our words are true, as from God, being said as before God in Christ.

bbe@2Corinthians:3:2 @You yourselves are our letter, whose writing is in our heart, open for every man's reading and knowledge;

bbe@2Corinthians:3:3 @For you are clearly a letter of Christ, the fruit of our work, recorded not with ink, but with the Spirit of the living God; not in stone, but in hearts of flesh.

bbe@2Corinthians:3:4 @And this is the certain faith which we have in God through Christ:

bbe@2Corinthians:3:5 @Not as if we were able by ourselves to do anything for which we might take the credit; but our power comes from God;

bbe@2Corinthians:3:6 @Who has made us able to be servants of a new agreement; not of the letter, but of the Spirit: for the letter gives death, but the Spirit gives life.

bbe@2Corinthians:3:7 @For if the operation of the law, giving death, recorded in letters on stone, came with glory, so that the eyes of the children of Israel had to be turned away from the face of Moses because of its glory, a glory which was only for a time:

bbe@2Corinthians:3:8 @Will not the operation of the Spirit have a much greater glory?

bbe@2Corinthians:3:9 @For if the operation of the law, producing punishment, had its glory, how much greater will be the operation of the Spirit causing righteousness?

bbe@2Corinthians:3:11 @For if the order which was for a time had its glory, much more will the eternal order have its glory.

bbe@2Corinthians:3:14 @But their minds were made hard: for to this very day at the reading of the old agreement the same veil is still unlifted; though it is taken away in Christ.

bbe@2Corinthians:3:16 @But when it is turned to the Lord, the veil will be taken away.

bbe@2Corinthians:3:17 @Now the Lord is the Spirit: and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there the heart is free.

bbe@2Corinthians:3:18 @But we all, with unveiled face giving back as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as from the Lord who is the Spirit.

bbe@2Corinthians:4:2 @And we have given up the secret things of shame, not walking in false ways, and not making use of the word of God with deceit; but by the revelation of what is true, as before God, we have the approval of every man's sense of right and wrong.

bbe@2Corinthians:4:3 @But if our good news is veiled, it is veiled from those who are on the way to destruction:

bbe@2Corinthians:4:4 @Because the god of this world has made blind the minds of those who have not faith, so that the light of the good news of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God, might not be shining on them.

bbe@2Corinthians:4:6 @Seeing that it is God who said, Let light be shining out of the dark, who has put in our hearts the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.

bbe@2Corinthians:4:7 @But we have this wealth in vessels of earth, so that it may be seen that the power comes not from us but from God;

bbe@2Corinthians:4:9 @We are cruelly attacked, but not without hope; we are made low, but we are not without help;

bbe@2Corinthians:4:11 @For, while living, we are still being given up to death because of Jesus, so that the life of Jesus may be seen in our flesh, though it is under the power of death.

bbe@2Corinthians:4:13 @But having the same spirit of faith, as it is said in the Writings, The words of my mouth came from the faith in my heart; in the same way, our words are the outcome of our faith;

bbe@2Corinthians:4:14 @Because we are certain that he who made the Lord Jesus come back from the dead, will do the same for us, and will give us a place in his glory with you.

bbe@2Corinthians:5:1 @For we are conscious that if this our tent of flesh is taken down, we have a building from God, a house not made with hands, eternal, in heaven.

bbe@2Corinthians:5:2 @For in this we are crying in weariness, greatly desiring to be clothed with our house from heaven:

bbe@2Corinthians:5:3 @So that our spirits may not be unclothed.

bbe@2Corinthians:5:5 @Now he who has made us for this very thing is God, who has given us the Spirit as a witness of what is to come.

bbe@2Corinthians:5:6 @So, then, we are ever without fear, and though conscious that while we are in the body we are away from the Lord,

bbe@2Corinthians:5:7 @(For we are walking by faith, not by seeing,)

bbe@2Corinthians:5:8 @We are without fear, desiring to be free from the body, and to be with the Lord.

bbe@2Corinthians:5:9 @For this reason we make it our purpose, in the body or away from it, to be well-pleasing to him.

bbe@2Corinthians:5:11 @Having in mind, then, the fear of the Lord, we put these things before men, but God sees our hearts; and it is my hope that we may seem right in your eyes.

bbe@2Corinthians:5:13 @For if we are foolish, it is to God; or if we are serious, it is for you.

bbe@2Corinthians:5:14 @For it is the love of Christ which is moving us; because we are of the opinion that if one was put to death for all, then all have undergone death;

bbe@2Corinthians:5:18 @But all things are of God, who has made us at peace with himself through Christ, and has given to us the work of making peace;

bbe@2Corinthians:5:20 @So we are the representatives of Christ, as if God was making a request to you through us: we make our request to you, in the name of Christ, be at peace with God.

bbe@2Corinthians:6:1 @We then, working together with God, make our request to you not to take the grace of God to no purpose.

bbe@2Corinthians:6:4 @But in everything making it clear that we are the servants of God, in quiet strength, in troubles, in need, in sorrow,

bbe@2Corinthians:6:5 @In blows, in prisons, in attacks, in hard work, in watchings, in going without food;

bbe@2Corinthians:6:6 @In a clean heart, in knowledge, in long waiting, in being kind, in the Holy Spirit, in true love,

bbe@2Corinthians:6:7 @In the true word, in the power of God; with the arms of righteousness on the right hand and on the left,

bbe@2Corinthians:6:12 @It is not our feelings to you which are narrow, but yours to us.

bbe@2Corinthians:6:14 @Do not keep company with those who have not faith: for what is there in common between righteousness and evil, or between light and dark?

bbe@2Corinthians:6:15 @And what agreement is there between Christ and the Evil One? or what part has one who has faith with one who has not?

bbe@2Corinthians:6:16 @And what agreement has the house of God with images? for we are a house of the living God; even as God has said, I will be living among them, and walking with them; and I will be their God, and they will be my people.

bbe@2Corinthians:7:1 @Because God, then, will give us such rewards, dear brothers, let us make ourselves clean from all evil of flesh and spirit, and become completely holy in the fear of God.

bbe@2Corinthians:7:2 @Let your hearts be open to us: we have done no man wrong, no man has been damaged by us, we have made no profit out of any man,

bbe@2Corinthians:7:3 @It is not with the purpose of judging you that I say this: for I have said before that you are in our hearts for life and death together.

bbe@2Corinthians:7:4 @My words to you are without fear, I am full of pride on account of you: I have great comfort and joy in all our troubles.

bbe@2Corinthians:7:6 @But God who gives comfort to the poor in spirit gave us comfort by the coming of Titus;

bbe@2Corinthians:7:8 @For though my letter gave you pain, I have no regret for it now, though I had before; for I see that the letter gave you pain, but only for a time.

bbe@2Corinthians:7:11 @For you see what care was produced in you by this very sorrow of yours before God, what clearing of yourselves, what wrath against sin, what fear, what desire, what serious purpose, what punishment. In everything you have made it clear that you are free from sin in this business.

bbe@2Corinthians:7:12 @So though I sent you a letter, it was not only because of the man who did the wrong, or because of him to whom the wrong was done, but so that your true care for us might be made clear in the eyes of God.

bbe@2Corinthians:7:13 @So we have been comforted: and we had the greater joy in our comfort because of the joy of Titus, for his spirit had been made glad by you all.

bbe@2Corinthians:7:14 @For I was not put to shame in anything in which I may have made clear to him my pride in you; but as we said nothing to you but what was true, so the good things which I said to Titus about you were seen by him to be true.

bbe@2Corinthians:7:15 @And his love to you is the more increased by his memory of you all, how you gave way to his authority, and how you took him to your hearts with fear and honour.

bbe@2Corinthians:7:16 @It gives me great joy to see you answering to my good opinion of you in every way

bbe@2Corinthians:8:3 @For I give them witness, that as they were able, and even more than they were able, they gave from the impulse of their hearts,

bbe@2Corinthians:8:6 @So that we made a request to Titus that, as he had made a start before, so he might make this grace complete in you.

bbe@2Corinthians:8:7 @And that as you are full of every good thing, of faith, of the word, of knowledge, of a ready mind, and of love to us, so you may be full of this grace in the same way.

bbe@2Corinthians:8:8 @I am not giving you an order, but using the ready mind of others as a test of the quality of your love.

bbe@2Corinthians:8:10 @And in this I give my opinion: for it is to your profit, who were the first to make a start a year before, not only to do this, but to make clear that your minds were more than ready to do it.

bbe@2Corinthians:8:11 @Then make the doing of it complete; so that as you had a ready mind, you may give effect to it as you are able.

bbe@2Corinthians:8:15 @As it says in the Writings, He who had taken up much had nothing over and he who had little had enough.

bbe@2Corinthians:8:16 @But praise be to God, who puts the same care for you into the heart of Titus.

bbe@2Corinthians:8:18 @And with him we have sent a brother whose praise in the good news has gone through all the churches;

bbe@2Corinthians:8:19 @And not only so, but he was marked out by the churches to go with us in the grace of this giving which we have undertaken to the glory of the Lord and to make clear that our mind was ready:

bbe@2Corinthians:8:22 @And we have sent with them our brother, whose ready spirit has been made clear to us at times and in ways without number, but it is now all the more so because of the certain faith which he has in you.

bbe@2Corinthians:8:23 @If any question comes up about Titus, he is my brother-worker, working with me for you; or about the others, they are the representatives of the churches to the glory of Christ.

bbe@2Corinthians:8:24 @Make clear then to them, as representatives of the churches, the quality of your love, and that the things which we have said about you are true.

bbe@2Corinthians:9:4 @For fear that, if any from Macedonia come with me, and you are not ready, we (not to say, you) might be put to shame in this thing.

bbe@2Corinthians:9:5 @So it seemed to me wise for the brothers to go before, and see that the amount which you had undertaken to give was ready, so that it might be a cause for praise, and not as if we were making profit out of you.

bbe@2Corinthians:9:6 @But in the Writings it says, He who puts in only a small number of seeds, will get in the same; and he who puts them in from a full hand, will have produce in full measure from them.

bbe@2Corinthians:9:7 @Let every man do after the purpose of his heart; not giving with grief, or by force: for God takes pleasure in a ready giver.

bbe@2Corinthians:9:9 @As it is said in the Writings, He has sent out far and wide, he has given to the poor; his righteousness is for ever.

bbe@2Corinthians:9:10 @And he who gives seed for putting into the field and bread for food, will take care of the growth of your seed, at the same time increasing the fruits of your righteousness;

bbe@2Corinthians:9:11 @Your wealth being increased in everything, with a simple mind, causing praise to God through us.

bbe@2Corinthians:10:1 @Now I, Paul, myself make request to you by the quiet and gentle behaviour of Christ, I who am poor in spirit when with you, but who say what is in my mind to you without fear when I am away from you:

bbe@2Corinthians:10:2 @Yes, I make my request to you, so that when I am with you I may not have to make use of the authority which may be needed against some to whom we seem to be walking after the flesh.

bbe@2Corinthians:10:4 @(For the arms with which we are fighting are not those of the flesh, but are strong before God for the destruction of high places);

bbe@2Corinthians:10:5 @Putting an end to reasonings, and every high thing which is lifted up against the knowledge of God, and causing every thought to come under the authority of Christ;

bbe@2Corinthians:10:6 @Being ready to give punishment to whatever is against his authority, after you have made it clear that you are completely under his control.

bbe@2Corinthians:10:8 @For though I might take pride in our authority (which the Lord gave for building you up, and not for your destruction), it will not be a cause of shame to me:

bbe@2Corinthians:10:10 @For his letters, they say, have weight and are strong; but in body he is feeble, and his way of talking has little force.

bbe@2Corinthians:10:12 @For we will not make comparison of ourselves with some of those who say good things about themselves: but these, measuring themselves by themselves, and making comparison of themselves with themselves, are not wise.

bbe@2Corinthians:10:14 @For we have no need to make ourselves seem more than we are, as if our authority did not come as far as to you: for we came even as far as you with the good news of Christ:

bbe@2Corinthians:10:15 @Not taking credit to ourselves for what is not our business, that is, for the work of others; but having hope that, with the growth of your faith, we may get the credit for an increase which is the effect of our work,

bbe@2Corinthians:10:16 @So that we may be able to go on and take the good news to countries still farther away than you are, and not take credit for another man's work in making things ready to our hand.

bbe@2Corinthians:11:1 @Put up with me if I am a little foolish: but, truly, you do put up with me.

bbe@2Corinthians:11:2 @For I have a very great care for you: because you have been married by me to one husband, and it is my desire to give you completely holy to Christ.

bbe@2Corinthians:11:3 @But I have a fear, that in some way, as Eve was tricked by the deceit of the snake, your minds may be turned away from their simple and holy love for Christ.

bbe@2Corinthians:11:4 @For if anyone comes preaching another Jesus from the one whose preachers we are, or if you have got a different spirit, or a different sort of good news from those which came to you, how well you put up with these things.

bbe@2Corinthians:11:7 @Or did I do wrong in making myself low so that you might be lifted up, because I gave you the good news of God without reward?

bbe@2Corinthians:11:9 @And when I was present with you, and was in need, I let no man be responsible for me; for the brothers, when they came from Macedonia, gave me whatever was needed; and in everything I kept myself from being a trouble to you, and I will go on doing so.

bbe@2Corinthians:11:13 @For such men are false Apostles, workers of deceit, making themselves seem like Apostles of Christ.

bbe@2Corinthians:11:14 @And it is no wonder; for even Satan himself is able to take the form of an angel of light.

bbe@2Corinthians:11:15 @So it is no great thing if his servants make themselves seem to be servants of righteousness; whose end will be the reward of their works.

bbe@2Corinthians:11:16 @I say again, Let me not seem foolish to anyone; but if I do, put up with me as such, so that I may take a little glory to myself.

bbe@2Corinthians:11:17 @What I am now saying is not by the order of the Lord, but as a foolish person, taking credit to myself, as it seems.

bbe@2Corinthians:11:18 @Seeing that there are those who take credit to themselves after the flesh, I will do the same.

bbe@2Corinthians:11:19 @For you put up with the foolish gladly, being wise yourselves.

bbe@2Corinthians:11:20 @You put up with a man if he makes servants of you, if he makes profit out of you, if he makes you prisoners, if he puts himself in a high place, if he gives you blows on the face.

bbe@2Corinthians:11:25 @Three times I was whipped with rods, once I was stoned, three times the ship I was in came to destruction at sea, a night and a day I have been in the water;

bbe@2Corinthians:11:27 @In hard work and weariness, in frequent watchings, going without food and drink, cold and in need of clothing.

bbe@2Corinthians:11:28 @In addition to all the other things, there is that which comes on me every day, the care of all the churches.

bbe@2Corinthians:11:30 @If I have to take credit to myself, I will do so in the things in which I am feeble.

bbe@2Corinthians:11:31 @The God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, to whom be praise for ever, is witness that the things which I say are true.

bbe@2Corinthians:12:1 @As it is necessary for me to take glory to myself, though it is not a good thing, I will come to visions and revelations of the Lord.

bbe@2Corinthians:12:6 @For if I had a desire to take credit to myself, it would not be foolish, for I would be saying what is true: but I will not, for fear that I might seem to any man more than he sees me to be, or has word from me that I am.

bbe@2Corinthians:12:8 @And about this thing I made request to the Lord three times that it might be taken away from me.

bbe@2Corinthians:12:11 @I have been forced by you to become foolish, though it was right for my praise to have come from you: for in no way was I less than the chief of the Apostles, though I am nothing.

bbe@2Corinthians:12:12 @Truly the signs of an Apostle were done among you in quiet strength, with wonders and acts of power.

bbe@2Corinthians:12:14 @This is now the third time that I am ready to come to you; and I will not be a trouble to you: my desire is for you, not for your property: for it is not the children's business to make store for their fathers, but the fathers for the children.

bbe@2Corinthians:12:16 @But let it be so, that I was not a trouble to you myself; but (someone may say) being false, I took you with deceit.

bbe@2Corinthians:12:17 @Did I make a profit out of you by any of those whom I sent to you?

bbe@2Corinthians:12:18 @I gave orders to Titus, and I sent the brother with him. Did Titus make any profit out of you? were we not guided by the same Spirit, in the same ways?

bbe@2Corinthians:12:19 @It may seem to you that all this time we have been attempting to put ourselves in the right; but we are saying these things before God in Christ. For all things, dear brothers, are for your profit.

bbe@2Corinthians:12:20 @For I have a fear that, when I come, you may not be answering to my desire, and that I may not be answering to yours; that there may be fighting, hate, angry feeling, divisions, evil talk about others, secrets, thoughts of pride, outbursts against authority;

bbe@2Corinthians:13:1 @This is the third time that I am coming to you. From the mouth of two or three witnesses will every word be made certain.

bbe@2Corinthians:13:2 @I said before, and still say it before I come, as being present for the second time, though I am still away from you, to those who have done wrong before, and to all the others, that if I come again I will not have pity;

bbe@2Corinthians:13:4 @For he was feeble in that he was put to death on the cross, but he is living by the power of God. And we are feeble in him, but we will be living with him through the power of God in relation to you.

bbe@2Corinthians:13:5 @Make a test of yourselves, if you are in the faith; make certain of yourselves. Or are you not conscious in yourselves that Jesus Christ is in you, if you are truly Christ's?

bbe@2Corinthians:13:6 @But it is my hope that you will have no doubt that we are truly Christ's.

bbe@2Corinthians:13:7 @Now our prayer to God is that you may do no evil; not in order that it may be put to our credit, but so that you may do what is right, whatever we may seem.

bbe@2Corinthians:13:8 @Because we are able to do nothing against what is true, but only for it.

bbe@2Corinthians:13:10 @For this cause I am writing these things while I am away, so that there may be need for me, when I am present, to make use of sharp measures, by the authority which the Lord has given me for building up and not for destruction.

bbe@2Corinthians:13:11 @Let this be my last word, brothers; be glad; be complete; be comforted; be of the same mind; be at peace with one another: and the God of love and peace will be with you.

bbe@2Corinthians:13:14 @The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the harmony of the Holy Spirit, be with you all.

bbe@Galatians:1:2 @And all the brothers who are with me, to the churches of Galatia:

bbe@Galatians:1:5 @To whom be the glory for ever and ever. So be it.

bbe@Galatians:1:10 @Am I now using arguments to men, or God? or is it my desire to give men pleasure? if I was still pleasing men, I would not be a servant of Christ.

bbe@Galatians:1:12 @For I did not get it from man, and I was not given teaching in it, but it came to me through revelation of Jesus Christ.

bbe@Galatians:1:13 @For news has come to you of my way of life in the past in the Jews' religion, how I was cruel without measure to the church of God, and did great damage to it:

bbe@Galatians:1:15 @But when it was the good pleasure of God, by whom I was marked out even from my mother's body, through his grace,

bbe@Galatians:1:18 @Then after three years I went up to Jerusalem to see Cephas, and was there with him fifteen days.

bbe@Galatians:1:20 @Now God is witness that the things which I am writing to you are true.

bbe@Galatians:1:23 @Only it came to their ears that he who at one time was cruel to us is now preaching the faith which before had been attacked by him;

bbe@Galatians:2:1 @Then after the space of fourteen years I went up again to Jerusalem with Barnabas, taking Titus with me.

bbe@Galatians:2:2 @And I went up by revelation; and I put before them the good news which I was preaching among the Gentiles, but privately before those who were of good name, so that the work which I was or had been doing might not be without effect.

bbe@Galatians:2:3 @But not even Titus who was with me, being a Greek, was made to undergo circumcision:

bbe@Galatians:2:4 @And that because of the false brothers let in secretly, who came searching out our free condition which we have in Christ Jesus, so that they might make servants of us;

bbe@Galatians:2:5 @To whom we gave way not even for an hour; so that the true words of the good news might still be with you.

bbe@Galatians:2:6 @But from those who seemed to be important (whatever they were has no weight with me: God does not take man's person into account): those who seemed to be important gave nothing new to me;

bbe@Galatians:2:7 @But, quite the opposite, when they saw that I had been made responsible for preaching the good news to those without circumcision, even as Peter had been for those of the circumcision

bbe@Galatians:2:10 @Only it was their desire that we would give thought to the poor; which very thing I had much in mind to do.

bbe@Galatians:2:12 @For before certain men came from James, he did take food with the Gentiles: but when they came, he went back and made himself separate, fearing those who were of the circumcision.

bbe@Galatians:2:14 @But when I saw that they were not living uprightly in agreement with the true words of the good news, I said to Cephas before them all, If you, being a Jew, are living like the Gentiles, and not like the Jews, how will you make the Gentiles do the same as the Jews?

bbe@Galatians:2:16 @Being conscious that a man does not get righteousness by the works of the law, but through faith in Jesus Christ, we had faith in Christ Jesus, so that we might get righteousness by faith in Christ, and not by the works of the law: because by the works of the law will no flesh get righteousness.

bbe@Galatians:2:20 @I have been put to death on the cross with Christ; still I am living; no longer I, but Christ is living in me; and that life which I now am living in the flesh I am living by faith, the faith of the Son of God, who in love for me, gave himself up for me.

bbe@Galatians:3:1 @O foolish Galatians, by what strange powers have you been tricked, to whom it was made clear that Jesus Christ was put to death on the cross?

bbe@Galatians:3:2 @Give me an answer to this one question, Did the Spirit come to you through the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith?

bbe@Galatians:3:3 @Are you so foolish? having made a start in the Spirit, will you now be made complete in the flesh?

bbe@Galatians:3:4 @Did you undergo such a number of things to no purpose? if it is in fact to no purpose.

bbe@Galatians:3:5 @He who gives you the Spirit, and does works of power among you, is it by the works of law, or by the hearing of faith?

bbe@Galatians:3:6 @Even as Abraham had faith in God, and it was put to his account as righteousness.

bbe@Galatians:3:7 @Be certain, then, that those who are of faith, the same are sons of Abraham.

bbe@Galatians:3:8 @And the holy Writings, seeing before the event that God would give the Gentiles righteousness by faith, gave the good news before to Abraham, saying, In you will all the nations have a blessing.

bbe@Galatians:3:9 @So then those who are of faith have a part in the blessing of Abraham who was full of faith.

bbe@Galatians:3:10 @For all who are of the works of the law are under a curse: because it is said in the Writings, A curse is on everyone who does not keep on doing all the things which are ordered in the book of the law

bbe@Galatians:3:11 @Now that no man gets righteousness by the law in the eyes of God, is clear; because, The upright will be living by faith.

bbe@Galatians:3:12 @And the law is not of faith; but, He who does them will have life by them.

bbe@Galatians:3:13 @Christ has made us free from the curse of the law, having become a curse for us: because it is said in the Writings, A curse on everyone who is put to death by hanging on a tree:

bbe@Galatians:3:14 @So that on the Gentiles might come the blessing of Abraham in Christ Jesus; in order that we through faith might have the Spirit which God had undertaken to give.

bbe@Galatians:3:15 @Brothers, as men would say, even a man's agreement, when it has been made certain, may not be put on one side, or have additions made to it.

bbe@Galatians:3:17 @Now this I say: The law, which came four hundred and thirty years after, does not put an end to the agreement made before by God, so as to make the undertaking without effect.

bbe@Galatians:3:18 @Because if the heritage is by the law, it is no longer dependent on the word of God; but God gave it to Abraham by his word.

bbe@Galatians:3:19 @What then is the law? It was an addition made because of sin, till the coming of the seed to whom the undertaking had been given; and it was ordered through angels by the hand of a go-between.

bbe@Galatians:3:22 @However, the holy Writings have put all things under sin, so that that for which God gave the undertaking, based on faith in Jesus Christ, might be given to those who have such faith.

bbe@Galatians:3:23 @But before faith came, we were kept in prison under the law, waiting for the revelation of the faith which was to come.

bbe@Galatians:3:24 @So the law has been a servant to take us to Christ, so that we might have righteousness by faith.

bbe@Galatians:3:25 @But now that faith is come, we are no longer under a servant.

bbe@Galatians:3:26 @Because you are all sons of God through faith in Christ Jesus.

bbe@Galatians:3:29 @And if you are Christ's, then you are Abraham's seed, and yours is the heritage by the right of God's undertaking given to Abraham.

bbe@Galatians:4:6 @And because you are sons, God has sent out the Spirit of his Son into our hearts, saying, Abba, Father.

bbe@Galatians:4:7 @So that you are no longer a servant, but a son; and if a son, then the heritage of God is yours.

bbe@Galatians:4:9 @But now that you have come to have knowledge of God, or more truly, God has knowledge of you, how is it that you go back again to the poor and feeble first things, desiring to be servants to them again?

bbe@Galatians:4:13 @But you have knowledge that with a feeble body I was preaching the good news to you the first time;

bbe@Galatians:4:14 @And you did not have a poor opinion of me because of the trouble in my flesh, or put shame on it; but you took me to your hearts as an angel of God, even as Christ Jesus.

bbe@Galatians:4:15 @Where then is that happy condition of yours? because I give you witness, that, if possible, you would have taken out your eyes and given them to me.

bbe@Galatians:4:18 @But it is good to have an interest in a good cause at all times, and not only when I am present with you.

bbe@Galatians:4:20 @Truly my desire is to be present with you now, using a changed voice; for I am troubled about you.

bbe@Galatians:4:21 @Say, you whose desire it is to be under the law, do you not give ear to the law?

bbe@Galatians:4:22 @Because it is in the Writings, that Abraham had two sons, one by the servant-woman, and one by the free woman.

bbe@Galatians:4:25 @Now this Hagar is the mountain Sinai in Arabia, and is the image of the Jerusalem which now is: which is a servant with her children.

bbe@Galatians:4:27 @For it is in the Writings, You who have never given birth, be glad; give cries of joy, you who have had no birth-pains; for the children of her who has been given up by her husband are more than those of the woman who has a husband.

bbe@Galatians:4:29 @But as in those days he who had birth after the flesh was cruel to him who had birth after the Spirit, even so it is now.

bbe@Galatians:4:30 @What then do the Writings say? Send away the servant-woman and her son; for the son of the servant-woman will not have a part in the heritage with the son of the free woman.

bbe@Galatians:5:1 @Christ has truly made us free: then keep your free condition and let no man put a yoke on you again.

bbe@Galatians:5:3 @Yes, I give witness again to every man who undergoes circumcision, that he will have to keep all the law.

bbe@Galatians:5:5 @For we through the Spirit by faith are waiting for the hope of righteousness.

bbe@Galatians:5:6 @Because in Christ Jesus, having circumcision or not having circumcision are equally of no profit; but only faith working through love.

bbe@Galatians:5:9 @A little leaven makes a change in all the mass.

bbe@Galatians:5:13 @Because you, brothers, were marked out to be free; only do not make use of your free condition to give the flesh its chance, but through love be servants one to another.

bbe@Galatians:5:15 @But if you are given to fighting with one another, take care that you are not the cause of destruction one to another.

bbe@Galatians:5:16 @But I say, Go on in the Spirit, and you will not come under the rule of the evil desires of the flesh.

bbe@Galatians:5:17 @For the flesh has desires against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; because these are opposite the one to the other; so that you may not do the things which you have a mind to do.

bbe@Galatians:5:18 @But if you are guided by the Spirit, you are not under the law.

bbe@Galatians:5:22 @But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, a quiet mind, kind acts, well-doing, faith,

bbe@Galatians:5:24 @And those who are Christ's have put to death on the cross the flesh with its passions and its evil desires.

bbe@Galatians:5:25 @If we are living by the Spirit, by the Spirit let us be guided.

bbe@Galatians:6:1 @Brothers, if a man is taken in any wrongdoing, you who are of the Spirit will put such a one right in a spirit of love; keeping watch on yourself, for fear that you yourself may be tested.

bbe@Galatians:6:8 @Because he who puts in the seed of the flesh will of the flesh get the reward of death; but he who puts in the seed of the Spirit will of the Spirit get the reward of eternal life.

bbe@Galatians:6:10 @So then, as we have the chance, let us do good to all men, and specially to those who are of the family of the faith.

bbe@Galatians:6:11 @See the size of the handwriting which I myself have made use of in writing to you.

bbe@Galatians:6:14 @But far be it from me to have glory in anything, but only in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, through which this world has come to an end on the cross for me, and I for it

bbe@Galatians:6:17 @From this time on let no man be a trouble to me; because my body is marked with the marks of Jesus.

bbe@Galatians:6:18 @The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit, brothers. So be it.

bbe@Ephesians:1:1 @Paul, an Apostle of Christ Jesus by the purpose of God, to the saints who are at Ephesus, and those who have faith in Christ Jesus:

bbe@Ephesians:1:3 @Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has given us every blessing of the Spirit in the heavens in Christ:

bbe@Ephesians:1:5 @As we were designed before by him for the position of sons to himself, through Jesus Christ, in the good pleasure of his purpose,

bbe@Ephesians:1:9 @Having made clear to us the secret of his purpose, in agreement with the design which he had in mind, to put into his hands

bbe@Ephesians:1:11 @In whom we have a heritage, being marked out from the first in his purpose who does all things in agreement with his designs;

bbe@Ephesians:1:13 @In whom you, having been given the true word, the good news of your salvation, and through your faith in him, were given the sign of the Holy Spirit of hope,

bbe@Ephesians:1:14 @Which is the first-fruit of our heritage, till God gets back that which is his, to the praise of his glory.

bbe@Ephesians:1:15 @For this cause I, having had news of the faith in the Lord Jesus which is among you, and which you make clear to all the saints,

bbe@Ephesians:1:16 @Give praise without end for you, keeping you in mind in my prayers;

bbe@Ephesians:1:17 @That the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give to you a spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of him;

bbe@Ephesians:1:18 @And that having the eyes of your heart full of light, you may have knowledge of what is the hope of his purpose, what is the wealth of the glory of his heritage in the saints,

bbe@Ephesians:1:19 @And how unlimited is his power to us who have faith, as is seen in the working of the strength of his power,

bbe@Ephesians:1:21 @Far over all rule and authority and power and every name which is named, not only in the present order, but in that which is to come:

bbe@Ephesians:2:2 @In which you were living in the past, after the ways of this present world, doing the pleasure of the lord of the power of the air, the spirit who is now working in those who go against the purpose of God;

bbe@Ephesians:2:3 @Among whom we all at one time were living in the pleasures of our flesh, giving way to the desires of the flesh and of the mind, and the punishment of God was waiting for us even as for the rest.

bbe@Ephesians:2:5 @Even when we were dead through our sins, gave us life together with Christ (by grace you have salvation),

bbe@Ephesians:2:6 @So that we came back from death with him, and are seated with him in the heavens, in Christ Jesus;

bbe@Ephesians:2:8 @Because by grace you have salvation through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is given by God:

bbe@Ephesians:2:11 @For this reason keep it in mind that in the past you, the Gentiles in the flesh, who are looked on as being outside the circumcision by those who have circumcision, in the flesh, made by hands;

bbe@Ephesians:2:12 @That you were at that time without Christ, being cut off from any part in Israel's rights as a nation, having no part in God's agreement, having no hope, and without God in the world.

bbe@Ephesians:2:15 @Having in his flesh put an end to that which made the division between us, even the law with its rules and orders, so that he might make in himself, of the two, one new man, so making peace;

bbe@Ephesians:2:16 @And that the two might come into agreement with God in one body through the cross, so putting an end to that division.

bbe@Ephesians:2:18 @Because through him the two of us are able to come near in one Spirit to the Father.

bbe@Ephesians:2:22 @In whom you, with the rest, are united together as a living-place of God in the Spirit.

bbe@Ephesians:3:5 @Which in other generations was not given to the sons of men, but the revelation of it has now been made to his holy Apostles and prophets in the Spirit;

bbe@Ephesians:3:6 @Which is that the Gentiles have a part in the heritage, and in the same body, and in the same hope in Christ through the good news,

bbe@Ephesians:3:10 @So that now to the rulers and the authorities in the heavens might be made clear through the church the wide-shining wisdom of God,

bbe@Ephesians:3:12 @By whom we come near to God without fear through faith in him.

bbe@Ephesians:3:13 @For this reason it is my prayer that you may not become feeble because of my troubles for you, which are your glory.

bbe@Ephesians:3:16 @That in the wealth of his glory he would make you strong with power through his Spirit in your hearts;

bbe@Ephesians:3:17 @So that Christ may have his place in your hearts through faith; and that you, being rooted and based in love,

bbe@Ephesians:3:18 @May have strength to see with all the saints how wide and long and high and deep it is,

bbe@Ephesians:3:21 @To him be the glory in the church and in Christ Jesus to all generations for ever and ever. So be it.

bbe@Ephesians:4:1 @I then, the prisoner in the Lord, make this request from my heart, that you will see that your behaviour is a credit to the position which God's purpose has given you,

bbe@Ephesians:4:2 @With all gentle and quiet behaviour, taking whatever comes, putting up with one another in love;

bbe@Ephesians:4:3 @Taking care to keep the harmony of the Spirit in the yoke of peace.

bbe@Ephesians:4:4 @There is one body and one Spirit, even as you have been marked out by God in the one hope of his purpose for you;

bbe@Ephesians:4:5 @One Lord, one faith, one baptism,

bbe@Ephesians:4:8 @For this reason he says, He went up on high, taking his prisoners with him, and gave freely to men.

bbe@Ephesians:4:9 @(Now this, He went up, what is it but that he first went down into the lower parts of the earth?

bbe@Ephesians:4:13 @Till we all come to the harmony of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to full growth, to the full measure of Christ:

bbe@Ephesians:4:14 @So that we may be no longer children, sent this way and that, turned about by every wind of teaching, by the twisting and tricks of men, by the deceits of error;

bbe@Ephesians:4:16 @Through whom all the body, being rightly formed and united together, by the full working of every part, is increased to the building up of itself in love.

bbe@Ephesians:4:17 @This I say, then, and give witness in the Lord, that you are to go no longer in the way of the Gentiles whose minds are turned to that which has no profit,

bbe@Ephesians:4:18 @Whose thoughts are dark, to whom the life of God is strange because they are without knowledge, and their hearts have been made hard;

bbe@Ephesians:4:19 @Who having no more power of feeling, have given themselves up to evil passions, to do all unclean things with overmuch desire.

bbe@Ephesians:4:22 @That you are to put away, in relation to your earlier way of life, the old man, which has become evil by love of deceit;

bbe@Ephesians:4:23 @And be made new in the spirit of your mind,

bbe@Ephesians:4:26 @Be angry without doing wrong; let not the sun go down on your wrath;

bbe@Ephesians:4:28 @Let him who was a thief be so no longer, but let him do good work with his hands, so that he may have something to give to him who is in need.

bbe@Ephesians:4:30 @And do not give grief to the Holy Spirit of God, by whom you were marked for the day of salvation.

bbe@Ephesians:4:31 @Let all bitter, sharp and angry feeling, and noise, and evil words, be put away from you, with all unkind acts;

bbe@Ephesians:4:32 @And be kind to one another, full of pity, having forgiveness for one another, even as God in Christ had forgiveness for you.

bbe@Ephesians:5:1 @Let it then be your desire to be like God, as well-loved children;

bbe@Ephesians:5:3 @But evil acts of the flesh and all unclean things, or desire for others' property, let it not even be named among you, as is right for saints;

bbe@Ephesians:5:5 @Being certain of this, that no man who gives way to the passions of the flesh, no unclean person, or one who has desire for the property of others, or who gives worship to images, has any heritage in the kingdom of Christ and God.

bbe@Ephesians:5:7 @Have no part with such men;

bbe@Ephesians:5:9 @(Because the fruit of the light is in all righteousness and in everything which is good and true),

bbe@Ephesians:5:11 @And have no company with the works of the dark, which give no fruit, but make their true quality clear;

bbe@Ephesians:5:12 @For the things which are done by them in secret it is shame even to put into words

bbe@Ephesians:5:13 @But all things, when their true quality is seen, are made clear by the light: because everything which is made clear is light.

bbe@Ephesians:5:18 @And do not take overmuch wine by which one may be overcome, but be full of the Spirit;

bbe@Ephesians:5:19 @Joining with one another in holy songs of praise and of the Spirit, using your voice in songs and making melody in your heart to the Lord;

bbe@Ephesians:5:22 @Wives, be under the authority of your husbands, as of the Lord.

bbe@Ephesians:5:24 @And as the church is under Christ's authority, so let wives be under the rule of their husbands in all things.

bbe@Ephesians:5:25 @Husbands, have love for your wives, even as Christ had love for the church, and gave himself for it;

bbe@Ephesians:5:26 @So that he might make it holy, having made it clean with the washing of water by the word,

bbe@Ephesians:5:27 @And might take it for himself, a church full of glory, not having one mark or fold or any such thing; but that it might be holy and complete.

bbe@Ephesians:5:28 @Even so it is right for husbands to have love for their wives as for their bodies. He who has love for his wife has love for himself:

bbe@Ephesians:5:29 @For no man ever had hate for his flesh; but he gives it food and takes care of it, even as Christ does for the church;

bbe@Ephesians:6:5 @Servants, do what is ordered by those who are your natural masters, having respect and fear for them, with all your heart, as to Christ;

bbe@Ephesians:6:9 @And, you masters, do the same things to them, not making use of violent words: in the knowledge that their Master and yours is in heaven, and he has no respect for a man's position.

bbe@Ephesians:6:11 @Take up God's instruments of war, so that you may be able to keep your position against all the deceits of the Evil One.

bbe@Ephesians:6:12 @For our fight is not against flesh and blood, but against authorities and powers, against the world-rulers of this dark night, against the spirits of evil in the heavens.

bbe@Ephesians:6:14 @Take your place, then, having your body clothed with the true word, and having put on the breastplate of righteousness;

bbe@Ephesians:6:15 @Be ready with the good news of peace as shoes on your feet;

bbe@Ephesians:6:16 @And most of all, using faith as a cover to keep off all the flaming arrows of the Evil One.

bbe@Ephesians:6:17 @And take salvation for your head-dress and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God:

bbe@Ephesians:6:18 @With prayers and deep desires, making requests at all times in the Spirit, and keeping watch, with strong purpose, in prayer for all the saints,

bbe@Ephesians:6:19 @And for me, that words may be given to me in the opening of my mouth, to make clear without fear the secret of the good news,

bbe@Ephesians:6:20 @For which I am a representative in chains, and that I may say without fear the things which it is right for me to say.

bbe@Ephesians:6:22 @Whom I have sent to you for this very purpose, so that you may have knowledge of our position, and that he may give comfort to your hearts.

bbe@Ephesians:6:23 @Peace be to the brothers, and love with faith, from God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

bbe@Ephesians:6:24 @Grace be with all those who have true love for our Lord Jesus Christ.

bbe@Philippians:1:1 @Paul and Timothy, servants of Jesus Christ, to all the saints in Christ Jesus at Philippi, with the Bishops and Deacons of the church:

bbe@Philippians:1:4 @And in all my prayers for you all, making my request with joy,

bbe@Philippians:1:6 @For I am certain of this very thing, that he by whom the good work was started in you will make it complete till the day of Jesus Christ:

bbe@Philippians:1:7 @So it is right for me to take thought for you all in this way, because I have you in my heart; for in my chains, and in my arguments before the judges in support of the good news, making clear that it is true, you all have your part with me in grace.

bbe@Philippians:1:8 @For God is my witness, how my love goes out to you all in the loving mercies of Christ Jesus.

bbe@Philippians:1:10 @So that you may give your approval to the best things; that you may be true and without wrongdoing till the day of Christ;

bbe@Philippians:1:11 @Being full of the fruits of righteousness, which are through Jesus Christ, to the glory and praise of God.

bbe@Philippians:1:12 @Now it is my purpose to make clear to you, brothers, that the cause of the good news has been helped by my experiences;

bbe@Philippians:1:13 @So that it became clear through all the Praetorium, and to all the rest, that I was a prisoner on account of Christ;

bbe@Philippians:1:14 @And most of the brothers in the Lord, taking heart because of my chains, are all the stronger to give the word of God without fear.

bbe@Philippians:1:15 @Though some are preaching Christ out of envy and competition, others do it out of a good heart:

bbe@Philippians:1:16 @These do it from love, conscious that I am responsible for the cause of the good news:

bbe@Philippians:1:17 @But those are preaching Christ in a spirit of competition, not from their hearts, but with the purpose of giving me pain in my prison.

bbe@Philippians:1:19 @For I am conscious that this will be for my salvation, through your prayer and the giving out of the stored wealth of the Spirit of Jesus Christ,

bbe@Philippians:1:20 @In the measure of my strong hope and belief that in nothing will I be put to shame, but that without fear, as at all times, so now will Christ have glory in my body, by life or by death.

bbe@Philippians:1:21 @For to me life is Christ and death is profit.

bbe@Philippians:1:22 @But if I go on living in the flesh--if this is the fruit of my work--then I do not see what decision to make.

bbe@Philippians:1:23 @I am in a hard position between the two, having a desire to go away and be with Christ, which is very much better:

bbe@Philippians:1:25 @And being certain of this, I am conscious that I will go on, yes, and go on with you all, for your growth and joy in the faith;

bbe@Philippians:1:26 @So that your pride in me may be increased in Christ Jesus through my being present with you again.

bbe@Philippians:1:27 @Only let your behaviour do credit to the good news of Christ, so that if I come and see you or if I am away from you, I may have news of you that you are strong in one spirit, working together with one soul for the faith of the good news;

bbe@Philippians:1:29 @Because to you it has been given in the cause of Christ not only to have faith in him, but to undergo pain on his account:

bbe@Philippians:2:1 @If then there is any comfort in Christ, any help given by love, any uniting of hearts in the Spirit, any loving mercies and pity,

bbe@Philippians:2:3 @Doing nothing through envy or through pride, but with low thoughts of self let everyone take others to be better than himself;

bbe@Philippians:2:6 @To whom, though himself in the form of God, it did not seem that to take for oneself was to be like God;

bbe@Philippians:2:11 @And that every tongue may give witness that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

bbe@Philippians:2:12 @So then, my loved ones, as you have at all times done what I say, not only when I am present, but now much more when I am not with you, give yourselves to working out your salvation with fear in your hearts;

bbe@Philippians:2:13 @For it is God who is the cause of your desires and of your acts, for his good pleasure.

bbe@Philippians:2:14 @Do all things without protests and arguments;

bbe@Philippians:2:15 @So that you may be holy and gentle, children of God without sin in a twisted and foolish generation, among whom you are seen as lights in the world,

bbe@Philippians:2:16 @Offering the word of life; so that I may have glory in you in the day of Christ, because my running was not for nothing and my work was not without effect.

bbe@Philippians:2:17 @And even if I am offered like a drink offering, giving myself for the cause and work of your faith, I am glad and have joy with you all:

bbe@Philippians:2:22 @But his quality is clear to you; how, as a child is to its father, so he was a help to me in the work of the good news.

bbe@Philippians:2:24 @But I have faith in the Lord that I myself will come before long.

bbe@Philippians:2:25 @But it seemed to me necessary to send to you Epaphroditus, my brother, who has taken part with me in the work and in the fight, and your servant, sent by you for help in my need;

bbe@Philippians:2:26 @Because his heart was with you all, and he was greatly troubled because you had news that he was ill:

bbe@Philippians:2:29 @So take him to your hearts in the Lord with all joy, and give honour to such as he is:

bbe@Philippians:3:1 @For the rest, my brothers, be glad in the Lord. Writing the same things to you is no trouble to me, and for you it is safe.

bbe@Philippians:3:3 @For we are the circumcision, who give worship to God and have glory in Jesus Christ, and have no faith in the flesh:

bbe@Philippians:3:4 @Even though I myself might have faith in the flesh: if any other man has reason to have faith in the flesh, I have more:

bbe@Philippians:3:6 @In bitter hate I was cruel to the church; I kept all the righteousness of the law to the last detail.

bbe@Philippians:3:7 @But those things which were profit to me, I gave up for Christ.

bbe@Philippians:3:9 @And be seen in him, not having my righteousness which is of the law, but that which is through faith in Christ, the righteousness which is of God by faith:

bbe@Philippians:3:10 @That I may have knowledge of him, and of the power of his coming back from the dead, and a part with him in his pains, becoming like him in his death;

bbe@Philippians:3:13 @Brothers, it is clear to me that I have not come to that knowledge; but one thing I do, letting go those things which are past, and stretching out to the things which are before,

bbe@Philippians:3:18 @For there are those, of whom I have given you word before, and do so now with sorrow, who are haters of the cross of Christ;

bbe@Philippians:3:20 @For our country is in heaven; from where the Saviour for whom we are waiting will come, even the Lord Jesus Christ:

bbe@Philippians:4:3 @And I make request to you, true helper in my work, to see to the needs of those women who took part with me in the good news, with Clement and the rest of my brother-workers whose names are in the book of life.

bbe@Philippians:4:6 @Have no cares; but in everything with prayer and praise put your requests before God.

bbe@Philippians:4:9 @The things which came to you by my teaching and preaching, and which you saw in me, these things do, and the God of peace will be with you.

bbe@Philippians:4:10 @But I am very glad in the Lord that your care for me has come to life again; though you did in fact take thought for me, but you were not able to give effect to it

bbe@Philippians:4:12 @It is the same to me if I am looked down on or honoured; everywhere and in all things I have the secret of how to be full and how to go without food; how to have wealth and how to be in need.

bbe@Philippians:4:15 @And you have knowledge, Philippians, that when the good news first came to you, when I went away from Macedonia, no church took part with me in the business of giving to the saints, but you only;

bbe@Philippians:4:17 @Not that I am looking for an offering, but for fruit which may be put to your credit.

bbe@Philippians:4:18 @I have all things and more than enough: I am made full, having had from Epaphroditus the things which came from you, a perfume of a sweet smell, an offering well pleasing to God.

bbe@Philippians:4:20 @Now to God our Father be glory for ever and ever. So be it.

bbe@Philippians:4:21 @Give words of love to every saint in Christ Jesus. The brothers who are with me send you their love.

bbe@Philippians:4:23 @The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit.

bbe@Colossians:1:4 @After hearing of your faith in Christ Jesus, and of the love which you have for all the saints,

bbe@Colossians:1:6 @Which has come to you; and which in all the world is giving fruit and increase, as it has done in you from the day when it came to your ears and you had true knowledge of the grace of God;

bbe@Colossians:1:7 @As it was given to you by Epaphras, our well-loved helper, who is a true servant of Christ for us,

bbe@Colossians:1:8 @And who, himself, made clear to us your love in the Spirit.

bbe@Colossians:1:9 @For this reason, we, from the day when we had word of it, keep on in prayer for you, that you may be full of the knowledge of his purpose, with all wisdom and experience of the Spirit,

bbe@Colossians:1:10 @Living uprightly in the approval of the Lord, giving fruit in every good work, and increasing in the knowledge of God;

bbe@Colossians:1:11 @Full of strength in the measure of the great power of his glory, so that you may undergo all troubles with joy;

bbe@Colossians:1:12 @Giving praise to the Father who has given us a part in the heritage of the saints in light;

bbe@Colossians:1:16 @For by him all things were made, in heaven and on earth, things seen and things unseen, authorities, lords, rulers, and powers; all things were made by him and for him;

bbe@Colossians:1:20 @Through him uniting all things with himself, having made peace through the blood of his cross; through him, I say, uniting all things which are on earth or in heaven.

bbe@Colossians:1:21 @And you, who in the past were cut off and at war with God in your minds through evil works, he has now made one

bbe@Colossians:1:22 @In the body of his flesh through death, so that you might be holy and without sin and free from all evil before him:

bbe@Colossians:1:23 @If you keep yourselves safely based in the faith, not moved from the hope of the good news which came to you, and which was given to every living being under heaven; of which I, Paul, was made a servant.

bbe@Colossians:2:1 @For it is my desire to give you news of the great fight I am making for you and for those at Laodicea, and for all who have not seen my face in the flesh;

bbe@Colossians:2:4 @I say this so that you may not be turned away by any deceit of words.

bbe@Colossians:2:5 @For though I am not present in the flesh, still I am with you in the spirit, seeing with joy your order, and your unchanging faith in Christ.

bbe@Colossians:2:7 @Rooted and based together in him, strong in the faith which the teaching gave you, giving praise to God at all times.

bbe@Colossians:2:8 @Take care that no one takes you away by force, through man's wisdom and deceit, going after the beliefs of men and the theories of the world, and not after Christ:

bbe@Colossians:2:10 @And you are complete in him, who is the head of all rule and authority:

bbe@Colossians:2:11 @In whom you had a circumcision not made with hands, in the putting off of the body of the flesh, in the circumcision of Christ;

bbe@Colossians:2:12 @Having been put to death with him in baptism, by which you came to life again with him, through faith in the working of God, who made him come back from the dead.

bbe@Colossians:2:13 @And you, being dead through your sins and the evil condition of your flesh, to you, I say, he gave life together with him, and forgiveness of all our sins;

bbe@Colossians:2:14 @Having put an end to the handwriting of the law which was against us, taking it out of the way by nailing it to his cross;

bbe@Colossians:2:15 @Having made himself free from the rule of authorities and powers, he put them openly to shame, glorying over them in it.

bbe@Colossians:2:18 @Let no man take your reward from you by consciously making little of himself and giving worship to angels; having his thoughts fixed on the things which he has seen, being foolishly lifted up in his natural mind,

bbe@Colossians:2:19 @And not joined to the Head, from whom all the body, being given strength and kept together through its joins and bands, has its growth with the increase of God.

bbe@Colossians:2:20 @If you were made free, by your death with Christ, from the rules of the world, why do you put yourselves under the authority of orders

bbe@Colossians:2:22 @(Rules which are all to come to an end with their use) after the orders and teaching of men?

bbe@Colossians:2:23 @These things seem to have a sort of wisdom in self-ordered worship and making little of oneself, and being cruel to the body, not honouring it by giving it its natural use.

bbe@Colossians:3:1 @If then you have a new life with Christ, give your attention to the things of heaven, where Christ is seated at the right hand of God.

bbe@Colossians:3:3 @For your life on earth is done, and you have a secret life with Christ in God.

bbe@Colossians:3:4 @At the coming of Christ who is our life, you will be seen with him in glory.

bbe@Colossians:3:8 @But now it is right for you to put away all these things; wrath, passion, bad feeling, curses, unclean talk;

bbe@Colossians:3:9 @Do not make false statements to one another; because you have put away the old man with all his doings,

bbe@Colossians:3:11 @Where there is no Greek or Jew, no one with circumcision or without circumcision, no division between nations, no servant or free man: but Christ is all and in all.

bbe@Colossians:3:12 @As saints of God, then, holy and dearly loved, let your behaviour be marked by pity and mercy, kind feeling, a low opinion of yourselves, gentle ways, and a power of undergoing all things;

bbe@Colossians:3:15 @And let the peace of Christ be ruling in your hearts, as it was the purpose of God for you to be one body; and give praise to God at all times.

bbe@Colossians:3:16 @Let the word of Christ be in you in all wealth of wisdom; teaching and helping one another with songs of praise and holy words, making melody to God with grace in your hearts.

bbe@Colossians:3:18 @Wives, be under the authority of your husbands, as is right in the Lord.

bbe@Colossians:3:19 @Husbands, have love for your wives, and be not bitter against them.

bbe@Colossians:3:21 @Fathers, do not be hard on your children, so that their spirit may not be broken.

bbe@Colossians:3:22 @Servants, in all things do the orders of your natural masters; not only when their eyes are on you, as pleasers of men, but with all your heart, fearing the Lord:

bbe@Colossians:3:23 @Whatever you do, do it readily, as to the Lord and not to men;

bbe@Colossians:3:24 @Being certain that the Lord will give you the reward of the heritage: for you are the servants of the Lord Christ.

bbe@Colossians:3:25 @For the wrongdoer will have punishment for the wrong he has done, without respect for any man's position.

bbe@Colossians:4:2 @Give yourselves to prayer at all times, keeping watch with praise;

bbe@Colossians:4:4 @So that I may make it clear, as it is right for me to do.

bbe@Colossians:4:6 @Let your talk be with grace, mixed with salt, so that you may be able to give an answer to everyone.

bbe@Colossians:4:9 @And with him I have sent Onesimus, the true and well-loved brother, who is one of you. They will give you word of everything which is taking place here.

bbe@Colossians:4:13 @For I give witness of him that he has undergone much trouble for you and for those in Laodicea and in Hierapolis.

bbe@Colossians:4:18 @I, Paul, give you this word of love in my handwriting. Keep in memory that I am a prisoner. Grace be with you.

bbe@1Thessalonians:1:3 @Having ever in mind your work of faith and acts of love and the strength of your hope in our Lord Jesus Christ, before our God and Father;

bbe@1Thessalonians:1:5 @Because our good news came to you, not in word only, but in power, and in the Holy Spirit, so that you were completely certain of it; even as you saw what our behaviour to you was like from our love to you.

bbe@1Thessalonians:1:6 @And you took us and the Lord as your example, after the word had come to you in much trouble, with joy in the Holy Spirit;

bbe@1Thessalonians:1:7 @So that you became an example to all those who have faith in Christ in Macedonia and Achaia.

bbe@1Thessalonians:1:8 @For not only was the word of the Lord sounding out from you in Macedonia and Achaia, but in every place your faith in God is made clear; so that we have no need to say anything.

bbe@1Thessalonians:1:10 @Waiting for his Son from heaven, who came back from the dead, even Jesus, our Saviour from the wrath to come.

bbe@1Thessalonians:2:1 @For you yourselves, brothers, are conscious that our coming among you was not without effect:

bbe@1Thessalonians:2:2 @But after we had first undergone much pain and been cruelly attacked as you saw, at Philippi, by the help of God we gave you the good news without fear, though everything was against us.

bbe@1Thessalonians:2:3 @For our witness does not come from error or from an unclean heart or from deceit:

bbe@1Thessalonians:2:4 @But even as the good news was given to us by the approval of God, so we give it out; not as pleasing men, but God by whom our hearts are tested.

bbe@1Thessalonians:2:5 @For it is common knowledge among you that we never made use of smooth-sounding false words, and God is witness that at no time were we secretly desiring profit for ourselves,

bbe@1Thessalonians:2:7 @But we were gentle among you, like a woman caring for her little ones:

bbe@1Thessalonians:2:10 @You are witnesses, with God, how holy and upright and free from all evil was our way of life among you who have faith;

bbe@1Thessalonians:2:11 @Even as you saw how, like a father with his children, we were teaching and comforting you all, and giving witness,

bbe@1Thessalonians:2:13 @And for this cause we still give praise to God, that, when the word came to your ears through us, you took it, not as the word of man, but, as it truly is, the word of God, which has living power in you who have faith.

bbe@1Thessalonians:3:1 @At last our desire to have news of you was so strong that, while we ourselves were waiting at Athens,

bbe@1Thessalonians:3:2 @We sent Timothy, our brother and God's servant in the good news of Christ, to give you strength and comfort in your faith;

bbe@1Thessalonians:3:4 @And when we were with you, we said to you that trouble was before us; and so it came about, as you see.

bbe@1Thessalonians:3:5 @For this reason, when I was no longer able to keep quiet, I sent to get news of your faith, fearing that you might be tested by the Evil One and that our work might come to nothing.

bbe@1Thessalonians:3:6 @But now that Timothy has come to us from you, and has given us good news of your faith and love, and that you have happy memories of us, desiring greatly to see us, even as we do to see you;

bbe@1Thessalonians:3:7 @For this cause, brothers, in all our trouble and grief we were comforted about you because of your faith;

bbe@1Thessalonians:3:8 @For it is life to us if you keep your faith in the Lord unchanged.

bbe@1Thessalonians:3:9 @For how great is the praise which we give to God for you, and how great the joy with which we are glad because of you before our God;

bbe@1Thessalonians:3:10 @Night and day requesting God again and again that we may see your face and make your faith complete

bbe@1Thessalonians:3:13 @So that your hearts may be strong and free from all sin before our God and Father, at the coming of our Lord Jesus with all his saints.

bbe@1Thessalonians:4:6 @And that no man may make attempts to get the better of his brother in business: for the Lord is the judge in all these things, as we said to you before and gave witness.

bbe@1Thessalonians:4:7 @Because it is God's purpose that our way of life may be not unclean but holy.

bbe@1Thessalonians:4:8 @Whoever, then, goes against this word, goes against not man but God, who gives his Holy Spirit to you.

bbe@1Thessalonians:4:10 @And, truly, you are lovers of all the brothers in Macedonia; but it is our desire that your love may be increased still more;

bbe@1Thessalonians:4:11 @And that you may take pride in being quiet and doing your business, working with your hands as we gave you orders;

bbe@1Thessalonians:4:13 @But it is our desire, brothers, that you may be certain about those who are sleeping; so that you may have no need for sorrow, as others have who are without hope.

bbe@1Thessalonians:4:14 @For if we have faith that Jesus underwent death and came back again, even so those who are sleeping will come again with him by God's power.

bbe@1Thessalonians:4:16 @Because the Lord himself will come down from heaven with a word of authority, with the voice of the chief angel, with the sound of a horn: and the dead in Christ will come to life first;

bbe@1Thessalonians:4:17 @Then we who are still living will be taken up together with them into the clouds to see the Lord in the air: and so will we be for ever with the Lord.

bbe@1Thessalonians:4:18 @So then, give comfort to one another with these words.

bbe@1Thessalonians:5:3 @When they say, There is peace and no danger, then sudden destruction will come on them, as birth-pains on a woman with child; and they will not be able to get away from it.

bbe@1Thessalonians:5:8 @But let us, who are of the day, be serious, putting on the breastplate of faith and love, and on our heads, the hope of salvation.

bbe@1Thessalonians:5:14 @And our desire is that you will keep control over those whose lives are not well ordered, giving comfort to the feeble-hearted, supporting those with little strength, and putting up with much from all.

bbe@1Thessalonians:5:17 @Keep on with your prayers.

bbe@1Thessalonians:5:19 @Do not put out the light of the Spirit;

bbe@1Thessalonians:5:20 @Do not make little of the words of the prophets;

bbe@1Thessalonians:5:23 @And may the God of peace himself make you holy in every way; and may your spirit and soul and body be free from all sin at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.

bbe@1Thessalonians:5:24 @God, by whom you have been marked out in his purpose, is unchanging and will make it complete.

bbe@1Thessalonians:5:28 @The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you.

bbe@2Thessalonians:1:3 @It is right for us to give praise to God at all times for you, brothers, because of the great increase of your faith, and the wealth of your love for one another;

bbe@2Thessalonians:1:4 @So that we ourselves take pride in you in the churches of God for your untroubled mind and your faith in all the troubles and sorrows which you are going through;

bbe@2Thessalonians:1:6 @For it is an act of righteousness on God's part to give trouble as their reward to those who are troubling you,

bbe@2Thessalonians:1:7 @And to you who are troubled, rest with us, when the Lord Jesus comes from heaven with the angels of his power in flames of fire,

bbe@2Thessalonians:1:10 @At his coming, when he will have glory in his saints, and will be a cause of wonder in all those who had faith (because our witness among you had effect) in that day.

bbe@2Thessalonians:1:11 @For this reason, you are ever in our prayers, that you may seem to our God such as may have a part in his purpose and that by his power he will make all his good purpose, and the work of faith, complete;

bbe@2Thessalonians:2:1 @Now as to the coming of the Lord Jesus Christ, and our meeting with him, it is our desire, my brothers,

bbe@2Thessalonians:2:2 @That you may not be moved in mind or troubled by a spirit, or by a word, or by a letter as from us, with the suggestion that the day of the Lord is even now come;

bbe@2Thessalonians:2:3 @Give no belief to false words: because there will first be a falling away from the faith, and the revelation of the man of sin, the son of destruction,

bbe@2Thessalonians:2:4 @Who puts himself against all authority, lifting himself up over all which is named God or is given worship; so that he takes his seat in the Temple of God, putting himself forward as God.

bbe@2Thessalonians:2:5 @Have you no memory of what I said when I was with you, giving you word of these things?

bbe@2Thessalonians:2:6 @And now it is clear to you what is keeping back his revelation till the time comes for him to be seen.

bbe@2Thessalonians:2:8 @And then will come the revelation of that evil one, whom the Lord Jesus will put to death with the breath of his mouth, and give to destruction by the revelation of his coming;

bbe@2Thessalonians:2:9 @Even the one whose coming is marked by the working of Satan, with all power and signs and false wonders,

bbe@2Thessalonians:2:10 @And with every deceit of wrongdoing among those whose fate is destruction; because they were quite without that love of the true faith by which they might have salvation.

bbe@2Thessalonians:2:11 @And for this cause, God will give them up to the power of deceit and they will put their faith in what is false:

bbe@2Thessalonians:2:12 @So that they all may be judged, who had no faith in what is true, but took pleasure in evil.

bbe@2Thessalonians:2:13 @But it is right for us to give praise to God at all times for you, brothers, loved by the Lord, because it was the purpose of God from the first that you might have salvation, being made holy by the Spirit and by faith in what is true:

bbe@2Thessalonians:3:1 @For the rest, my brothers, let there be prayer for us that the word of the Lord may go forward with increasing glory, even as it does with you;

bbe@2Thessalonians:3:2 @And that we may be made free from foolish and evil men; for not all have faith.

bbe@2Thessalonians:3:4 @And we have faith in the Lord about you, that you are doing and will do the things about which we give you orders.

bbe@2Thessalonians:3:5 @And may your hearts be guided by the Lord into the love of God and quiet waiting for Christ.

bbe@2Thessalonians:3:6 @Now we give you orders, brothers, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, to keep away from all those whose behaviour is not well ordered and in harmony with the teaching which they had from us.

bbe@2Thessalonians:3:10 @For even when we were with you we gave you orders, saying, If any man does no work, let him not have food

bbe@2Thessalonians:3:11 @For it has come to our ears that there are some among you whose behaviour is uncontrolled, who do no work at all, but are over-interested in the business of others.

bbe@2Thessalonians:3:16 @Now the Lord of peace himself give you peace at all times and in every way. May the Lord be with you all.

bbe@2Thessalonians:3:17 @These words of love to you at the end are in my writing, Paul's writing, and this is the mark of every letter from me.

bbe@2Thessalonians:3:18 @May the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all.

bbe@1Timothy:1:2 @To Timothy, my true child in the faith: Grace, mercy, peace, from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Lord.

bbe@1Timothy:1:3 @It was my desire, when I went on into Macedonia, that you might make a stop at Ephesus, to give orders to certain men not to put forward a different teaching,

bbe@1Timothy:1:4 @Or to give attention to stories and long lists of generations, from which come questionings and doubts, in place of God's ordered way of life which is in faith;

bbe@1Timothy:1:5 @But the effect of the order is love coming from a clean heart, and a knowledge of what is right, and true faith:

bbe@1Timothy:1:8 @We are conscious that the law is good, if a man makes a right use of it,

bbe@1Timothy:1:9 @With the knowledge that the law is made, not for the upright man, but for those who have no respect for law and order, for evil men and sinners, for the unholy and those who have no religion, for those who put their fathers or mothers to death, for takers of life,

bbe@1Timothy:1:10 @For those who go after loose women, for those with unnatural desires, for those who take men prisoners, who make false statements and false oaths, and those who do any other things against the right teaching,

bbe@1Timothy:1:13 @Though I had said violent words against God, and done cruel acts, causing great trouble: but I was given mercy, because I did it without knowledge, not having faith;

bbe@1Timothy:1:14 @And the grace of our Lord was very great, with faith and love which is in Christ Jesus.

bbe@1Timothy:1:15 @It is a true saying, in which all may put their faith, that Christ Jesus came into the world to give salvation to sinners, of whom I am the chief:

bbe@1Timothy:1:16 @But for this reason I was given mercy, so that in me, the chief of sinners, Jesus Christ might make clear all his mercy, as an example to those who in the future would have faith in him to eternal life.

bbe@1Timothy:1:17 @Now to the King eternal, ever-living, unseen, the only God, be honour and glory for ever and ever. So be it.

bbe@1Timothy:1:18 @This order I give to you, Timothy my son, in harmony with the words of the prophets about you, so that by them you may be strong, fighting the good fight,

bbe@1Timothy:1:19 @Keeping faith, and being conscious of well-doing; for some, by not doing these things, have gone wrong in relation to the faith:

bbe@1Timothy:2:2 @For kings and all those in authority; so that we may have a calm and quiet life in all fear of God and serious behaviour.

bbe@1Timothy:2:6 @Who gave himself as an offering for all; witness of which was to be given at the right time;

bbe@1Timothy:2:7 @And of this I became a preacher and an Apostle (what I say is true, not false,) and a teacher of the Gentiles in the true faith.

bbe@1Timothy:2:8 @It is my desire, then, that in every place men may give themselves to prayer, lifting up holy hands, without wrath or argument.

bbe@1Timothy:2:9 @And that women may be dressed in simple clothing, with a quiet and serious air; not with twisted hair and gold or jewels or robes of great price;

bbe@1Timothy:2:10 @But clothed with good works, as is right for women who are living in the fear of God.

bbe@1Timothy:2:11 @Let a woman quietly take the place of a learner and be under authority.

bbe@1Timothy:2:12 @In my opinion it is right for a woman not to be a teacher, or to have rule over a man, but to be quiet.

bbe@1Timothy:2:14 @And Adam was not taken by deceit, but the woman, being tricked, became a wrongdoer.

bbe@1Timothy:2:15 @But if they go on in faith and love and holy self-control, she will be kept safe at the time of childbirth.

bbe@1Timothy:3:1 @This is a true saying, A man desiring the position of a Bishop has a desire for a good work.

bbe@1Timothy:3:4 @Ruling his house well, having his children under control with all serious behaviour;

bbe@1Timothy:3:9 @Keeping the secret of the faith in a heart free from sin.

bbe@1Timothy:3:13 @For those who have done good work as Deacons get for themselves a good position and become free from fear in the faith which is in Christ Jesus.

bbe@1Timothy:3:14 @I am writing these things to you, though I am hoping to come to you before long;

bbe@1Timothy:3:16 @And without argument, great is the secret of religion: He who was seen in the flesh, who was given God's approval in the spirit, was seen by the angels, of whom the good news was given among the nations, in whom the world had faith, who was taken up in glory.

bbe@1Timothy:4:1 @But the Spirit says clearly that in later times some will be turned away from the faith, giving their minds to spirits of deceit, and the teachings of evil spirits,

bbe@1Timothy:4:2 @Through the false ways of men whose words are untrue, whose hearts are burned as with a heated iron;

bbe@1Timothy:4:3 @Who keep men from being married and from taking food which God made to be taken with praise by those who have faith and true knowledge.

bbe@1Timothy:4:4 @Because everything which God has made is good, and nothing is evil, if it is taken with praise:

bbe@1Timothy:4:5 @For it is made holy by the word of God and by prayer.

bbe@1Timothy:4:6 @If you keep these things before the minds of the brothers, you will be a good servant of Christ Jesus, trained in the words of the faith and of the right teaching which has been your guide:

bbe@1Timothy:4:7 @But have nothing to do with unclean and foolish stories. Give yourself training in religion:

bbe@1Timothy:4:8 @For the training of the body is of profit for a little, but religion is of profit in every way, giving hope for the life which now is, and for that which is to come.

bbe@1Timothy:4:9 @This is a true saying, in which all may put their faith.

bbe@1Timothy:4:10 @And this is the purpose of all our work and our fighting, because our hope is in the living God, who is the Saviour of all men, and specially of those who have faith

bbe@1Timothy:4:12 @Let no one make little of you because you are young, but be an example to the church in word, in behaviour, in love, in faith, in holy living.

bbe@1Timothy:4:13 @Till I come, give attention to the reading of the holy Writings, to comforting the saints, and to teaching.

bbe@1Timothy:4:15 @Have a care for these things; give yourself to them with all your heart, so that all may see how you go forward.

bbe@1Timothy:5:1 @Do not say sharp words to one who has authority in the church, but let your talk be as to a father, and to the younger men as to brothers:

bbe@1Timothy:5:2 @To the older women as to mothers, to the younger as to sisters, with a clean heart.

bbe@1Timothy:5:4 @But if any widow has children or children's children, let these see that it is right to take care of their family and their fathers and mothers: for this is pleasing in the eyes of God.

bbe@1Timothy:5:5 @Now she who is truly a widow and without family puts her hope in God, giving herself to prayer day and night.

bbe@1Timothy:5:8 @If anyone has no care for his family and those in his house, he is false to the faith, and is worse than one who has no faith.

bbe@1Timothy:5:10 @And if witness is given of her good works; if she has had the care of children, if she has been kind to travellers, washing the feet of the saints, helping those who are in trouble, giving herself to good works.

bbe@1Timothy:5:12 @And they are judged because they have been false to their first faith;

bbe@1Timothy:5:14 @So it is my desire that the younger widows may be married and have children, controlling their families, and giving the Evil One no chance to say anything against them,

bbe@1Timothy:5:16 @If any woman of the faith has relations who are widows, let her give them help, so that the care of them does not come on the church, and so it may give help to those who are truly widowed.

bbe@1Timothy:5:18 @For the Writings say, It is not right to keep the ox from taking the grain when he is crushing it. And, The worker has a right to his reward.

bbe@1Timothy:5:19 @Do not take as true any statement made against one in authority, but only if two or three give witness to it.

bbe@1Timothy:5:21 @I give you orders before God and Christ Jesus and the angels of God's selection, to keep these orders without giving thought to one side more than another.

bbe@1Timothy:5:22 @Do not put hands on any man without thought, and have no part in other men's sins: keep yourself clean.

bbe@1Timothy:5:23 @Do not take only water as your drink, but take a little wine for the good of your stomach, and because you are frequently ill.

bbe@1Timothy:5:24 @The sins of some men are clearly seen, going before them to be judged; but with others, their sins go after them.

bbe@1Timothy:6:2 @And let those whose masters are of the faith have respect for them because they are brothers, working for them the more readily, because those who take part in the good work are of the faith and are dear. Give orders and teaching about these things.

bbe@1Timothy:6:3 @If any man gives different teaching, not in agreement with the true words of our Lord Jesus Christ, and with the teaching which is in agreement with true religion,

bbe@1Timothy:6:4 @He has an over-high opinion of himself; being without knowledge, having only an unhealthy love of questionings and wars of words, from which come envy, fighting, cruel words, evil thoughts,

bbe@1Timothy:6:5 @Bitter talk of men who, being evil in mind and dead to what is true, take the faith to be a way of making profit.

bbe@1Timothy:6:6 @But true faith, with peace of mind, is of great profit:

bbe@1Timothy:6:7 @For we came into the world with nothing, and we are not able to take anything out;

bbe@1Timothy:6:10 @For the love of money is a root of all evil: and some whose hearts were fixed on it have been turned away from the faith, and been wounded with unnumbered sorrows.

bbe@1Timothy:6:11 @But you, O man of God, keep yourself from these things, and go after righteousness, religion, faith, love, a quiet mind, gentle behaviour.

bbe@1Timothy:6:12 @Be fighting the good fight of the faith; take for yourself the life eternal, for which you were marked out, and of which you gave witness in the eyes of all.

bbe@1Timothy:6:13 @I give you orders before God, the giver of life, and Christ Jesus, who before Pontius Pilate gave witness to the faith,

bbe@1Timothy:6:16 @Who only has life for ever, living in light to which no man may come near; whom no man has seen or is able to see: to whom be honour and power for ever. So be it.

bbe@1Timothy:6:18 @And to do good, having wealth in good works, being quick to give, taking part with one another;

bbe@1Timothy:6:21 @Through which some, who gave their minds to it, have been turned away from the faith. Grace be with you.

bbe@2Timothy:1:3 @I give praise to God, whose servant I have been, with a heart free from sin, from the time of my fathers, because in my prayers at all times the thought of you is with me, night and day

bbe@2Timothy:1:5 @Having in mind your true faith, which first was in your mother's mother Lois, and in your mother Eunice, and, I am certain, is now in you.

bbe@2Timothy:1:7 @For God did not give us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of self-control.

bbe@2Timothy:1:8 @Have no feeling of shame, then, for the witness of our Lord or for me, his prisoner: but undergo all things for the good news in the measure of the power of God;

bbe@2Timothy:1:12 @And for which I undergo these things: but I have no feeling of shame. For I have knowledge of him in whom I have faith, and I am certain that he is able to keep that which I have given into his care till that day.

bbe@2Timothy:1:13 @Keep the form of those true words which you had from me, in faith and love which is in Christ Jesus.

bbe@2Timothy:1:14 @That good thing which was given to you keep safe, through the Holy Spirit which is in us.

bbe@2Timothy:2:2 @And the things which I have said to you before a number of witnesses, give to those of the faith, so that they may be teachers of others.

bbe@2Timothy:2:3 @Be ready to do without the comforts of life, as one of the army of Christ Jesus.

bbe@2Timothy:2:4 @A fighting man, when he is with the army, keeps himself free from the business of this life so that he may be pleasing to him who has taken him into his army.

bbe@2Timothy:2:5 @And if a man takes part in a competition he does not get the crown if he has not kept the rules.

bbe@2Timothy:2:6 @It is right for the worker in the fields to be the first to take of the fruit.

bbe@2Timothy:2:8 @Keep in mind Jesus Christ, of the seed of David, who came back from the dead, as my good news gives witness:

bbe@2Timothy:2:9 @In which I put up with the hardest conditions, even prison chains, like one who has done a crime; but the word of God is not in chains.

bbe@2Timothy:2:10 @But I undergo all things for the saints, so that they may have salvation in Christ Jesus with eternal glory.

bbe@2Timothy:2:11 @This is a true saying: If we undergo death with him, then will we be living with him:

bbe@2Timothy:2:12 @If we go on to the end, then we will be ruling with him: if we say we have no knowledge of him, then he will say he has no knowledge of us:

bbe@2Timothy:2:13 @If we are without faith, still he keeps faith, for he will never be untrue to himself.

bbe@2Timothy:2:14 @Put these things before them, giving them orders in the name of the Lord to keep themselves from fighting about words, which is of no profit, only causing error in their hearers.

bbe@2Timothy:2:15 @Let it be your care to get the approval of God, as a workman who has no cause for shame, giving the true word in the right way.

bbe@2Timothy:2:18 @Men whose ideas are all false, who say that the coming back from the dead has even now taken place, overturning the faith of some.

bbe@2Timothy:2:20 @Now in a great house there are not only vessels of gold and silver, but others of wood and earth, and some which are honoured and some without honour.

bbe@2Timothy:2:22 @But keep yourself from those desires of the flesh which are strong when the body is young, and go after righteousness, faith, love, peace, with those whose prayers go up to the Lord from a clean heart.

bbe@2Timothy:2:24 @For it is not right for the Lord's servant to make trouble, but he is to be gentle to all, ready in teaching, putting up with wrong,

bbe@2Timothy:3:2 @For men will be lovers of self, lovers of money, uplifted in pride, given to bitter words, going against the authority of their fathers, never giving praise, having no religion,

bbe@2Timothy:3:3 @Without natural love, bitter haters, saying evil of others, violent and uncontrolled, hating all good,

bbe@2Timothy:3:4 @False to their friends, acting without thought, lifted up in mind, loving pleasure more than God;

bbe@2Timothy:3:5 @Having a form of religion, but turning their backs on the power of it: go not with these.

bbe@2Timothy:3:6 @For these are they who go secretly into houses, making prisoners of foolish women, weighted down with sin, turned from the way by their evil desires,

bbe@2Timothy:3:8 @And as James and Jambres went against Moses, so do these go against what is true: men of evil minds, who, tested by faith, are seen to be false.

bbe@2Timothy:3:10 @But you took as your example my teaching, behaviour, purpose, and faith; my long waiting, my love, my quiet undergoing of trouble;

bbe@2Timothy:3:13 @Evil and false men will become worse and worse, using deceit and themselves overcome by deceit.

bbe@2Timothy:3:15 @And that from the time when you were a child, you have had knowledge of the holy Writings, which are able to make you wise to salvation, through faith in Christ Jesus.

bbe@2Timothy:3:16 @Every holy Writing which comes from God is of profit for teaching, for training, for guiding, for education in righteousness:

bbe@2Timothy:4:2 @Be preaching the word at all times, in every place; make protests, say sharp words, give comfort, with long waiting and teaching;

bbe@2Timothy:4:5 @But be self-controlled in all things, do without comfort, go on preaching the good news, completing the work which has been given you to do.

bbe@2Timothy:4:7 @I have made a good fight, I have come to the end of my journey, I have kept the faith:

bbe@2Timothy:4:10 @For Demas has gone away from me, for love of this present life, and has gone to Thessalonica: Crescens has gone to Galatia, Titus to Dalmatia

bbe@2Timothy:4:11 @Only Luke is with me. Get Mark and take him with you; for he is of use to me in the work.

bbe@2Timothy:4:13 @The coat which I did not take from Troas and which is with Carpus, get when you come, and the books, specially the papers.

bbe@2Timothy:4:16 @At my first meeting with my judges, no one took my part, but all went away from me. May it not be put to their account.

bbe@2Timothy:4:18 @The Lord will keep me safe from every evil work and will give me salvation in his kingdom in heaven: to whom be glory for ever and ever. So be it.

bbe@2Timothy:4:22 @The Lord be with your spirit. Grace be with you.

bbe@Titus:1:1 @Paul, a servant of God, and an Apostle of Jesus Christ, in agreement with the faith of the saints of God and the full knowledge of what is true in harmony with religion,

bbe@Titus:1:2 @In the hope of eternal life, which was made certain before eternal time, by the word of God who is ever true;

bbe@Titus:1:3 @Who, in his time, made clear his word in the good news, of which, by the order of God our Saviour, I became a preacher;

bbe@Titus:1:4 @To Titus, my true child in our common faith: Grace and peace from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Saviour.

bbe@Titus:1:5 @I did not take you with me when I went away from Crete, so that you might do what was necessary to put things in order there, placing men in authority over the churches in every town, as I said to you;

bbe@Titus:1:6 @Men having a good record, husbands of one wife, whose children are of the faith, children of whom it may not be said that they are given to loose living or are uncontrolled.

bbe@Titus:1:7 @For it is necessary for a Bishop to be a man of virtue, as God's servant; not pushing himself forward, not quickly moved to wrath or blows, not desiring profit for himself;

bbe@Titus:1:8 @But opening his house freely to guests; a lover of what is good, serious-minded, upright, holy, self-controlled;

bbe@Titus:1:9 @Keeping to the true word of the teaching, so that he may be able to give comfort by right teaching and overcome the arguments of the doubters.

bbe@Titus:1:10 @For there are men who are not ruled by law; foolish talkers, false teachers, specially those of the circumcision,

bbe@Titus:1:11 @By whom some families have been completely overturned; who take money for teaching things which are not right; these will have to be stopped.

bbe@Titus:1:12 @One of their prophets has said, The men of Crete are ever false, evil beasts, lovers of food, hating work.

bbe@Titus:1:13 @This witness is true. So say sharp words to them so that they may come to the right faith,

bbe@Titus:1:14 @Giving no attention to the fictions of the Jews and the rules of men who have no true knowledge.

bbe@Titus:1:15 @To the clean in heart all things are clean: but to those who are unclean and without faith nothing is clean; they become unclean in mind and in thought.

bbe@Titus:1:16 @They say that they have knowledge of God, while by their acts they are turning their backs on him; they are hated by all, hard-hearted, and judged to be without value for any good work.

bbe@Titus:2:1 @But let your words be in agreement with true and right teaching:

bbe@Titus:2:2 @That old men are to be simple in their tastes, serious, wise, true in faith, in love, and of a quiet mind.

bbe@Titus:2:3 @That old women are to be self-respecting in behaviour, not saying evil of others, not given to taking much wine, teachers of that which is good,

bbe@Titus:2:4 @Training the younger women to have love for their husbands and children,

bbe@Titus:2:5 @To be wise in mind, clean in heart, kind; working in their houses, living under the authority of their husbands; so that no evil may be said of the word of God.

bbe@Titus:2:6 @To the young men give orders to be wise and serious-minded:

bbe@Titus:2:7 @In all things see that you are an example of good works; holy in your teaching, serious in behaviour,

bbe@Titus:2:8 @Saying true and right words, against which no protest may be made, so that he who is not on our side may be put to shame, unable to say any evil of us.

bbe@Titus:2:9 @Servants are to be under the authority of their masters, pleasing them in all things, without argument;

bbe@Titus:2:10 @Not taking what is not theirs, but giving clear signs of their good faith, in all things doing credit to the teaching of God our Saviour.

bbe@Titus:2:11 @For the grace of God has come, giving salvation to all men,

bbe@Titus:2:12 @Training us so that, turning away from evil and the desires of this world, we may be living wisely and uprightly in the knowledge of God in this present life;

bbe@Titus:2:13 @Looking for the glad hope, the revelation of the glory of our great God and Saviour Jesus Christ;

bbe@Titus:2:14 @Who gave himself for us, so that he might make us free from all wrongdoing, and make for himself a people clean in heart and on fire with good works.

bbe@Titus:2:15 @On all these points give teaching and help, and make clear what is right with all authority. Let all men give you honour.

bbe@Titus:3:1 @Make clear to them that they are to put themselves under rulers and authorities, to do what they are ordered, to be ready for every good work,

bbe@Titus:3:2 @To say no evil of any man, not to be fighters, to give way to others, to be gentle in behaviour to all men.

bbe@Titus:3:3 @For in the past we were foolish, hard in heart, turned from the true way, servants of evil desires and pleasures, living in bad feeling and envy, hated and hating one another.

bbe@Titus:3:4 @But when the mercy of God our Saviour, and his love to man was seen,

bbe@Titus:3:5 @Not by works of righteousness which we did ourselves, but in the measure of his mercy, he gave us salvation, through the washing of the new birth and the giving of new life in the Holy Spirit,

bbe@Titus:3:6 @Which he gave us freely through Jesus Christ our Saviour;

bbe@Titus:3:7 @So that, having been given righteousness through grace, we might have a part in the heritage, the hope of eternal life.

bbe@Titus:3:8 @This is a true saying; and it is my desire that you may give certain witness about these things, so that those who have had faith in God may give attention to good works. These things are good and of profit to men;

bbe@Titus:3:9 @But have nothing to do with foolish questionings, and lists of generations, and fights and arguments about the law; for they are of no profit and foolish.

bbe@Titus:3:10 @A man whose opinions are not those of the church, after a first and second protest, is to be kept out of your society;

bbe@Titus:3:11 @Clearly he is in error and a sinner, being self-judged.

bbe@Titus:3:12 @When I send Artemas or Tychicus to you, do your best to come to me at Nicopolis: for it is my purpose to be there for the winter.

bbe@Titus:3:13 @Send Zenas, the man of law, and Apollos on their journey with all care, so that they may be in need of nothing.

bbe@Titus:3:14 @And let our people go on with good works for necessary purposes, so that they may not be without fruit.

bbe@Titus:3:15 @All who are with me send you their love. Give our love to our friends in the faith. Grace be with you all.

bbe@Philemon:1:1 @Paul, a prisoner of Jesus Christ, and Timothy our brother, to Philemon, our dear helper in the faith,

bbe@Philemon:1:5 @Hearing of the love and the faith which you have to the Lord Jesus and to all the saints;

bbe@Philemon:1:6 @That the faith which you have in common with them may be working with power, in the knowledge of every good thing in you, for Christ.

bbe@Philemon:1:11 @Who in the past was of no profit to you, but now is of profit to you and to me:

bbe@Philemon:1:13 @Though my desire was to keep him with me, to be my servant in the chains of the good news, in your place:

bbe@Philemon:1:14 @But without your approval I would do nothing; so that your good works might not be forced, but done freely from your heart.

bbe@Philemon:1:15 @For it is possible that for this reason he was parted from you for a time, so that you might have him for ever;

bbe@Philemon:1:18 @If he has done you any wrong or is in debt to you for anything, put it to my account.

bbe@Philemon:1:19 @I, Paul, writing this myself, say, I will make payment to you: and I do not say to you that you are in debt to me even for your life.

bbe@Philemon:1:21 @Being certain that you will do my desire, I am writing to you, in the knowledge that you will do even more than I say.

bbe@Philemon:1:25 @The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit. So be it.

bbe@Hebrews:1:2 @But now, at the end of these days, it has come to us through his Son, to whom he has given all things for a heritage, and through whom he made the order of the generations;

bbe@Hebrews:1:4 @Having become by so much better than the angels, as the name which is his heritage is more noble than theirs.

bbe@Hebrews:1:9 @You have been a lover of righteousness and a hater of evil; and so God, your God, has put the oil of joy on your head more than on the heads of those who are with you.

bbe@Hebrews:1:10 @You, Lord, at the first did put the earth on its base, and the heavens are the works of your hands:

bbe@Hebrews:1:14 @Are they not all helping spirits, who are sent out as servants to those whose heritage will be salvation?

bbe@Hebrews:2:2 @Because if the word which came through the angels was fixed, and in the past every evil act against God's orders was given its full punishment;

bbe@Hebrews:2:4 @And God was a witness with them, by signs and wonders, and by more than natural powers, and by his distribution of the Holy Spirit at his pleasure.

bbe@Hebrews:2:5 @For he did not make the angels rulers over the world to come, of which I am writing.

bbe@Hebrews:2:6 @But a certain writer has given his witness, saying, What is man, that you keep him in mind? what is the son of man, that you take him into account?

bbe@Hebrews:2:7 @You made him a little lower than the angels; you gave him a crown of glory and honour, and made him ruler over all the works of your hands:

bbe@Hebrews:2:8 @You put all things under his feet. For in making man the ruler over all things, God did not put anything outside his authority; though we do not see everything under him now.

bbe@Hebrews:2:9 @But we see him who was made a little lower than the angels, even Jesus, crowned with glory and honour, because he let himself be put to death so that by the grace of God he might undergo death for all men.

bbe@Hebrews:2:10 @Because it was right for him, for whom and through whom all things have being, in guiding his sons to glory, to make the captain of their salvation complete through pain.

bbe@Hebrews:2:11 @For he who makes holy and those who are made holy are all of one family; and for this reason it is no shame for him to give them the name of brothers,

bbe@Hebrews:2:13 @And again he says, I will put my faith in him. And again, See, I am here, and the children which God has given to me.

bbe@Hebrews:2:17 @Because of this it was necessary for him to be made like his brothers in every way, so that he might be a high priest full of mercy and keeping faith in everything to do with God, making offerings for the sins of the people.

bbe@Hebrews:3:1 @For this reason, holy brothers, marked out to have a part in heaven, give thought to Jesus the representative and high priest of our faith;

bbe@Hebrews:3:2 @Who kept faith with God who gave him his place, even as Moses did in all his house.

bbe@Hebrews:3:3 @And it was right for this man to have more honour than Moses, even as the builder of a house has more honour than the house.

bbe@Hebrews:3:5 @And Moses certainly kept faith as a servant, in all his house, and as a witness of those things which were to be said later;

bbe@Hebrews:3:7 @And so, as the Holy Spirit says, Today if you let his voice come to your ears,

bbe@Hebrews:3:10 @So that I was angry with this generation, and I said, Their hearts are in error at all times, and they have no knowledge of my ways;

bbe@Hebrews:3:12 @My brothers, take care that there is not by chance in any one of you an evil heart without belief, turning away from the living God:

bbe@Hebrews:3:13 @But give comfort to one another every day as long as it is still Today; so that no one among you may be made hard by the deceit of sin:

bbe@Hebrews:3:14 @For if we keep the substance of the faith which we had at the start, even till the end, we have a part with Christ;

bbe@Hebrews:3:15 @As it is said, Today if you will let his voice come to your ears, be not hard of heart, as when you made him angry.

bbe@Hebrews:3:16 @Who made him angry when his voice came to them? was it not all those who came out of Egypt with Moses?

bbe@Hebrews:3:17 @And with whom was he angry for forty years? was it not with those who did evil, who came to their deaths in the waste land?

bbe@Hebrews:3:18 @And to whom did he make an oath that they might not come into his rest? was it not to those who went against his orders?

bbe@Hebrews:4:2 @And, truly, the good news came to us, even as it did to them; but the hearing of the word did them no good, because they were not united in faith with the true hearers.

bbe@Hebrews:4:6 @So that as it is clear that some have to go in, and that the first hearers of the good news were not able to go in because they went against God's orders,

bbe@Hebrews:4:12 @For the word of God is living and full of power, and is sharper than any two-edged sword, cutting through and making a division even of the soul and the spirit, the bones and the muscles, and quick to see the thoughts and purposes of the heart.

bbe@Hebrews:4:13 @And there is nothing made which is not completely clear to him; there is nothing covered, but all things are open to the eyes of him with whom we have to do.

bbe@Hebrews:4:14 @Having then a great high priest, who has made his way through the heavens, even Jesus the Son of God, let us be strong in our faith.

bbe@Hebrews:4:15 @For we have not a high priest who is not able to be touched by the feelings of our feeble flesh; but we have one who has been tested in all points as we ourselves are tested, but without sin.

bbe@Hebrews:4:16 @Then let us come near to the seat of grace without fear, so that mercy may be given to us, and we may get grace for our help in time of need.

bbe@Hebrews:5:1 @Every high priest who is taken from among men is given his position to take care of the interests of men in those things which have to do with God, so that he may make offerings for sins.

bbe@Hebrews:5:4 @And no man who is not given authority by God, as Aaron was, takes this honour for himself.

bbe@Hebrews:5:5 @In the same way Christ did not take for himself the glory of being made a high priest, but was given it by him who said, You are my Son, this day I have given you being:

bbe@Hebrews:5:7 @Who in the days of his flesh, having sent up prayers and requests with strong crying and weeping to him who was able to give him salvation from death, had his prayer answered because of his fear of God.

bbe@Hebrews:5:8 @And though he was a Son, through the pain which he underwent, the knowledge came to him of what it was to be under God's orders;

bbe@Hebrews:5:11 @Of whom we have much to say which it is hard to make clear, because you are slow of hearing.

bbe@Hebrews:5:12 @And though by this time it would be right for you to be teachers, you still have need of someone to give you teaching about the first simple rules of God's revelation; you have become like babies who have need of milk, and not of solid food

bbe@Hebrews:5:13 @For everyone who takes milk is without experience of the word of righteousness: he is a child.

bbe@Hebrews:6:1 @For this reason let us go on from the first things about Christ to full growth; not building again that on which it is based, that is, the turning of the heart from dead works, and faith in God,

bbe@Hebrews:6:4 @As for those who at one time saw the light, tasting the good things from heaven, and having their part in the Holy Spirit,

bbe@Hebrews:6:5 @With knowledge of the good word of God, and of the powers of the coming time,

bbe@Hebrews:6:6 @And then let themselves be turned away, it is not possible for their hearts to be made new a second time; because they themselves put the Son of God on the cross again, openly shaming him.

bbe@Hebrews:6:7 @For a land, drinking in the frequent rain and producing good plants for those for whom it is worked, has a blessing from God:

bbe@Hebrews:6:8 @But if it sends up thorns and evil plants, it is of no use and is ready to be cursed; its only end is to be burned.

bbe@Hebrews:6:9 @But, my loved ones, though we say this, we are certain that you have better things in you, things which go with salvation;

bbe@Hebrews:6:11 @And it is our desire that you may all keep the same high purpose in certain hope to the end:

bbe@Hebrews:6:12 @So that you may not be slow in heart, but may take as your example those to whom God has given their heritage, because of their faith and their long waiting.

bbe@Hebrews:6:13 @For when God made his oath to Abraham, because there was no greater oath, he made it by himself,

bbe@Hebrews:6:15 @And so, when he had been waiting calmly for a long time, God's word to him was put into effect.

bbe@Hebrews:6:17 @So that when it was God's desire to make it specially clear to those who by his word were to have the heritage, that his purpose was fixed, he made it more certain with an oath;

bbe@Hebrews:6:18 @So that we, who have gone in flight from danger to the hope which has been put before us, may have a strong comfort in two unchanging things, in which it is not possible for God to be false;

bbe@Hebrews:7:2 @And to whom Abraham gave a tenth part of everything which he had, being first named King of righteousness, and then in addition, King of Salem, that is to say, King of peace;

bbe@Hebrews:7:3 @Being without father or mother, or family, having no birth or end to his life, being made like the Son of God, is a priest for ever.

bbe@Hebrews:7:5 @And it is true that by the law, those of the sons of Levi who have the position of priests may take a tenth part of the people's goods; that is to say, they take it from their brothers though these are the sons of Abraham.

bbe@Hebrews:7:8 @Now at the present time, men over whom death has power take the tenth; but then it was taken by one of whom it is witnessed that he is living.

bbe@Hebrews:7:9 @And we may say that in Abraham, even Levi, who has a right to take the tenth part, gave it;

bbe@Hebrews:7:11 @Now if it was possible for things to be made complete through the priests of the house of Levi (for the law was given to the people in connection with them), what need was there for another priest who was of the order of Melchizedek and not of the order of Aaron?

bbe@Hebrews:7:12 @Because if the priests are changed, it is necessary to make a change in the law.

bbe@Hebrews:7:14 @Because it is clear that our Lord comes out of Judah, and Moses said nothing about priests from that tribe.

bbe@Hebrews:7:16 @That is to say, not made by a law based on the flesh, but by the power of a life without end:

bbe@Hebrews:7:17 @For it has been witnessed of him, You are a priest for ever after the order of Melchizedek.

bbe@Hebrews:7:18 @So the law which went before is put on one side, because it was feeble and without profit.

bbe@Hebrews:7:19 @(Because the law made nothing complete), and in its place there is a better hope, through which we come near to God.

bbe@Hebrews:7:20 @And as this is not without the taking of an oath

bbe@Hebrews:7:21 @(For those were made priests without an oath, but this one was made a priest with an oath by him who says of him, The Lord gave his oath, which he will not take back, that you are a priest for ever);

bbe@Hebrews:7:22 @By so much is it a better agreement which we have through Jesus.

bbe@Hebrews:7:23 @And it is true that there have been a great number of those priests, because death does not let them go on for ever;

bbe@Hebrews:7:26 @It was right for us to have such a high priest, one who is holy and without evil, doing no wrong, having no part with sinners, and made higher than the heavens:

bbe@Hebrews:7:28 @The law makes high priests of men who are feeble; but the word of the oath, which was made after the law, gives that position to a Son, in whom all good is for ever complete.

bbe@Hebrews:8:3 @Now every high priest is given authority to take to God the things which are given and to make offerings; so that it is necessary for this man, like them, to have something for an offering.

bbe@Hebrews:8:6 @But now his position as priest is higher. because through him God has made a better agreement with man, based on the giving of better things.

bbe@Hebrews:8:8 @For, protesting against them, he says, See, the days are coming when I will make a new agreement with the house of Israel, and with the house of Judah;

bbe@Hebrews:8:9 @Not like the agreement which I made with their fathers when I took them by the hand, to be their guide out of the land of Egypt; for they did not keep the agreement with me, and I gave them up, says the Lord.

bbe@Hebrews:8:10 @For this is the agreement which I will make with the people of Israel after those days: I will put my laws into their minds, writing them in their hearts: and I will be their God, and they will be my people:

bbe@Hebrews:9:1 @Now the first agreement had its rules of worship, and a holy order.

bbe@Hebrews:9:2 @For the first Tent was made ready, having in it the vessels for the lights and the table and the ordering of the bread; and this is named the holy place.

bbe@Hebrews:9:4 @Having a vessel of gold in it for burning perfumes, and the ark of the agreement, which was covered with gold and which had in it a pot made of gold for the manna, and Aaron's rod which put out buds, and the stones with the writing of the agreement;

bbe@Hebrews:9:5 @And over it were the winged ones of glory with their wings covering the mercy-seat; about which it is not possible now to say anything in detail.

bbe@Hebrews:9:7 @But only the high priest went into the second, once a year, not without making an offering of blood for himself and for the errors of the people:

bbe@Hebrews:9:8 @The Holy Spirit witnessing by this that the way into the holy place had not at that time been made open, while the first Tent was still in being;

bbe@Hebrews:9:11 @But now Christ has come as the high priest of the good things of the future, through this greater and better Tent, not made with hands, that is to say, not of this world,

bbe@Hebrews:9:14 @How much more will the blood of Christ, who, being without sin, made an offering of himself to God through the Holy Spirit, make your hearts clean from dead works to be servants of the living God?

bbe@Hebrews:9:15 @And for this cause it is through him that a new agreement has come into being, so that after the errors under the first agreement had been taken away by his death, the word of God might have effect for those who were marked out for an eternal heritage.

bbe@Hebrews:9:16 @Because where there is a testament, there has to be the death of the man who made it.

bbe@Hebrews:9:17 @For a testament has effect after death; for what power has it while the man who made it is living?

bbe@Hebrews:9:18 @So that even the first agreement was not made without blood.

bbe@Hebrews:9:19 @For when Moses had given all the rules of the law to the people, he took the blood of goats and young oxen, with water and red wool and hyssop, and put it on the book itself and on all the people,

bbe@Hebrews:9:20 @Saying, This blood is the sign of the agreement which God has made with you

bbe@Hebrews:9:22 @And by the law almost all things are made clean with blood, and without blood there is no forgiveness.

bbe@Hebrews:9:23 @For this cause it was necessary to make the copies of the things in heaven clean with these offerings; but the things themselves are made clean with better offerings than these.

bbe@Hebrews:9:24 @For Christ did not go into a holy place which had been made by men's hands as the copy of the true one; but he went into heaven itself, and now takes his place before the face of God for us.

bbe@Hebrews:9:25 @And he did not have to make an offering of himself again and again, as the high priest goes into the holy place every year with blood which is not his;

bbe@Hebrews:9:28 @So Christ, having at his first coming taken on himself the sins of men, will be seen a second time, without sin, by those who are waiting for him, for their salvation.

bbe@Hebrews:10:1 @For the law, being only a poor copy of the future good things, and not the true image of those things, is never able to make the people who come to the altar every year with the same offerings completely clean.

bbe@Hebrews:10:4 @Because it is not possible for the blood of oxen and goats to take away sins.

bbe@Hebrews:10:7 @Then I said, See, I have come to do your pleasure, O God (as it is said of me in the roll of the book).

bbe@Hebrews:10:13 @And has been waiting there from that time, till all who are against him are made a foot-rest for his feet.

bbe@Hebrews:10:15 @And the Holy Spirit is a witness for us: for after he had said,

bbe@Hebrews:10:16 @This is the agreement which I will make with them after those days, says the Lord; I will put my laws in their hearts, writing them in their minds; he said,

bbe@Hebrews:10:19 @So then, my brothers, being able to go into the holy place without fear, because of the blood of Jesus,

bbe@Hebrews:10:22 @Let us go in with true hearts, in certain faith, having our hearts made free from the sense of sin and our bodies washed with clean water:

bbe@Hebrews:10:23 @Let us keep the witness of our hope strong and unshaking, for he is true who has given his word:

bbe@Hebrews:10:25 @Not giving up our meetings, as is the way of some, but keeping one another strong in faith; and all the more because you see the day coming near.

bbe@Hebrews:10:28 @A man who has gone against the law of Moses is put to death without pity on the word of two or three witnesses:

bbe@Hebrews:10:29 @But will not the man by whom the Son of God has been crushed under foot, and the blood of the agreement with which he was washed clean has been taken as an unholy thing, and who has had no respect for the Spirit of grace, be judged bad enough for a very much worse punishment?

bbe@Hebrews:10:33 @In part, in being attacked by angry words and cruel acts, before the eyes of everyone, and in part, in being united with those who were attacked in this way.

bbe@Hebrews:10:34 @For you had pity on those who were in prison, and had joy in the loss of your property, in the knowledge that you still had a better property and one which you would keep for ever.

bbe@Hebrews:10:36 @For, having done what was right in God's eyes, you have need of waiting before his word has effect for you.

bbe@Hebrews:10:37 @In a very little time he who is coming will come; he will not be slow.

bbe@Hebrews:10:38 @But the upright man will be living by his faith; and if he goes back, my soul will have no pleasure in him.

bbe@Hebrews:10:39 @But we are not of those who go back to destruction; but of those who have faith even to the salvation of the soul.

bbe@Hebrews:11:1 @Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, and the sign that the things not seen are true.

bbe@Hebrews:11:2 @For by it our fathers had God's approval.

bbe@Hebrews:11:3 @By faith it is clear to us that the order of events was fixed by the word of God, so that what is seen has not been made from things which only seem to be.

bbe@Hebrews:11:4 @By faith Abel made a better offering to God than Cain, and he had witness through it of his righteousness, God giving his approval of his offering: and his voice still comes to us through it though he is dead.

bbe@Hebrews:11:5 @By faith Enoch was taken up to heaven so that he did not see death; he was seen no longer, for God took him away: for before he was taken, witness had been given that he was well-pleasing to God:

bbe@Hebrews:11:6 @And without faith it is not possible to be well-pleasing to him, for it is necessary for anyone who comes to God to have the belief that God is, and that he is a rewarder of all those who make a serious search for him.

bbe@Hebrews:11:7 @By faith Noah, being moved by the fear of God, made ready an ark for the salvation of his family, because God had given him news of things which were not seen at the time; and through it the world was judged by him, and he got for his heritage the righteousness which is by faith.

bbe@Hebrews:11:8 @By faith Abraham did as God said when he was ordered to go out into a place which was to be given to him as a heritage, and went out without knowledge of where he was going.

bbe@Hebrews:11:9 @By faith he was a wanderer in the land of the agreement, as in a strange land, living in tents with Isaac and Jacob, who had a part with him in the same heritage:

bbe@Hebrews:11:11 @And by faith Sarah herself had power to give birth, when she was very old, because she had faith in him who gave his word;

bbe@Hebrews:11:13 @All these came to their end in faith, not having had the heritage; but having seen it with delight far away, they gave witness that they were wanderers and not of the earth.

bbe@Hebrews:11:14 @For those who say such things make it clear that they are searching for a country for themselves.

bbe@Hebrews:11:16 @But now their desire is for a better country, that is to say, for one in heaven; and so it is no shame to God to be named their God; for he has made ready a town for them.

bbe@Hebrews:11:17 @By faith Abraham made an offering of Isaac, when he was tested: and he with whom the agreement had been made gave up as an offering the only son of his body,

bbe@Hebrews:11:18 @Of whom it had been said, From Isaac will your seed take their name:

bbe@Hebrews:11:20 @By faith Isaac, blessing Jacob and Esau, gave news of things to come.

bbe@Hebrews:11:21 @By faith Jacob gave a blessing to the two sons of Joseph, when he was near to death; and gave God worship, supported by his stick.

bbe@Hebrews:11:22 @By faith Joseph, when his end was near, said that the children of Israel would go out of Egypt; and gave orders about his bones.

bbe@Hebrews:11:23 @By faith Moses was kept secretly by his father and mother for three months after his birth, because they saw that he was a fair child; and they had no fear of the king's orders.

bbe@Hebrews:11:24 @By faith Moses, when he became a man, had no desire to be named the son of Pharaoh's daughter;

bbe@Hebrews:11:25 @Feeling that it was better to undergo pain with the people of God, than for a short time to have a taste of the pleasures of sin;

bbe@Hebrews:11:27 @By faith he went out of Egypt, not being turned from his purpose by fear of the wrath of the king; for he kept on his way, as seeing him who is unseen.

bbe@Hebrews:11:28 @By faith he kept the Passover, and put the sign of the blood on the houses, so that the angel of destruction might not put their oldest sons to death.

bbe@Hebrews:11:29 @By faith they went through the Red Sea as if it had been dry land, though the Egyptians were overcome by the water when they made an attempt to do the same.

bbe@Hebrews:11:30 @By faith the walls of Jericho came down, after they had been circled for seven days.

bbe@Hebrews:11:31 @By faith Rahab, the loose woman, was not put to death with those who had gone against God's orders, because she had taken into her house in peace those sent to see the land.

bbe@Hebrews:11:33 @Who through faith overcame kingdoms, did righteousness, got their reward, kept the mouths of lions shut,

bbe@Hebrews:11:36 @And others were tested by being laughed at or by blows, and even with chains and prisons:

bbe@Hebrews:11:37 @They were stoned, they were cut up with knives, they were tested, they were put to death with the sword, they went about in sheepskins and in goatskins; being poor and in pain and cruelly attacked,

bbe@Hebrews:11:39 @And not one of these got the good things of the agreement, though they all had a good record through faith,

bbe@Hebrews:11:40 @Because God had kept some better thing for us, so that it was not possible for them to become complete without us.

bbe@Hebrews:12:1 @For this reason, as we are circled by so great a cloud of witnesses, putting off every weight, and the sin into which we come so readily, let us keep on running in the way which is marked out for us,

bbe@Hebrews:12:2 @Having our eyes fixed on Jesus, the guide and end of our faith, who went through the pains of the cross, not caring for the shame, because of the joy which was before him, and who has now taken his place at the right hand of God's seat of power.

bbe@Hebrews:12:5 @And you have not kept in mind the word which says to you as to sons, My son, do not make little of the Lord's punishment, and do not give up hope when you are judged by him;

bbe@Hebrews:12:7 @It is for your training that you undergo these things; God is acting to you as a father does to his sons; for what son does not have punishment from his father?

bbe@Hebrews:12:9 @And again, if the fathers of our flesh gave us punishment and had our respect, how much more will we be under the authority of the Father of spirits, and have life?

bbe@Hebrews:12:10 @For they truly gave us punishment for a short time, as it seemed good to them; but he does it for our profit, so that we may become holy as he is.

bbe@Hebrews:12:11 @At the time all punishment seems to be pain and not joy: but after, those who have been trained by it get from it the peace-giving fruit of righteousness.

bbe@Hebrews:12:14 @Let your desire be for peace with all men, and to be made holy, without which no man may see the Lord;

bbe@Hebrews:12:15 @Looking with care to see that no man among you in his behaviour comes short of the grace of God; for fear that some bitter root may come up to be a trouble to you, and that some of you may be made unclean by it;

bbe@Hebrews:12:16 @And that there may not be any evil liver, or any man without respect for God, like Esau, who let his birthright go for a plate of food.

bbe@Hebrews:12:17 @For you have knowledge that even long after, when he was desiring the blessing for his heritage, he was turned away, though he made his request frequently and with weeping; because the past might not be changed.

bbe@Hebrews:12:18 @You have not come to a mountain which may be touched, and is burning with fire, and to a black cloud, and a dark smoke, and a violent wind,

bbe@Hebrews:12:23 @To the great meeting and church of the first of those who are named in heaven, and to God the judge of all, and to the spirits of good men made complete,

bbe@Hebrews:12:27 @And the words, Still one more, make it clear that there will be a taking away of those things which are shaking, as of things which are made, so that there may be only those things of which no shaking is possible.

bbe@Hebrews:12:28 @If then, we have a kingdom which will never be moved, let us have grace, so that we may give God such worship as is pleasing to him with fear and respect:

bbe@Hebrews:13:1 @Go on loving your brothers in the faith.

bbe@Hebrews:13:2 @Take care to keep open house: because in this way some have had angels as their guests, without being conscious of it.

bbe@Hebrews:13:3 @Keep in mind those who are in chains, as if you were chained with them, and those who are in trouble, as being yourselves in the body.

bbe@Hebrews:13:5 @Be free from the love of money and pleased with the things which you have; for he himself has said, I will be with you at all times.

bbe@Hebrews:13:6 @So that we say with a good heart, The Lord is my helper; I will have no fear: what is man able to do to me?

bbe@Hebrews:13:7 @Keep in mind those who were over you, and who gave you the word of God; seeing the outcome of their way of life, let your faith be like theirs.

bbe@Hebrews:13:9 @Do not be turned away by different strange teachings, because it is good for your hearts to be made strong by grace, and not by meats, which were of no profit to those who took so much trouble over them.

bbe@Hebrews:13:15 @Let us then make offerings of praise to God at all times through him, that is to say, the fruit of lips giving witness to his name

bbe@Hebrews:13:16 @But go on doing good and giving to others, because God is well-pleased with such offerings.

bbe@Hebrews:13:17 @Give ear to those who are rulers over you, and do as they say: for they keep watch over your souls, ready to give an account of them; let them be able to do this with joy and not with grief, because that would be of no profit to you.

bbe@Hebrews:13:21 @Make you full of every good work and ready to do all his desires, working in us whatever is pleasing in his eyes through Jesus Christ; and may the glory be given to him for ever and ever. So be it.

bbe@Hebrews:13:22 @But, brothers, take kindly the words which I have said for your profit; for I have not sent you a long letter.

bbe@Hebrews:13:24 @Give words of love from me to those who are rulers over you, and to all the saints. Those who are in Italy send you their love.

bbe@Hebrews:13:25 @May grace be with you all.

bbe@James:1:2 @Let it be all joy to you, my brothers, when you undergo tests of every sort;

bbe@James:1:3 @Because you have the knowledge that the testing of your faith gives you the power of going on in hope;

bbe@James:1:4 @But let this power have its full effect, so that you may be made complete, needing nothing.

bbe@James:1:5 @But if any man among you is without wisdom, let him make his request to God, who gives freely to all without an unkind word, and it will be given to him.

bbe@James:1:6 @Let him make his request in faith, doubting nothing; for he who has doubt in his heart is like the waves of the sea, which are troubled by the driving of the wind.

bbe@James:1:7 @Let it not seem to such a man that he will get anything from the Lord;

bbe@James:1:9 @But let the brother of low position be glad that he is lifted up;

bbe@James:1:11 @For when the sun comes up with its burning heat, the grass gets dry and the grace of its form is gone with the falling flower; so the man of wealth comes to nothing in his ways.

bbe@James:1:13 @Let no man say when he is tested, I am tested by God; for it is not possible for God to be tested by evil, and he himself puts no man to such a test:

bbe@James:1:15 @Then when its time comes, desire gives birth to sin; and sin, when it is of full growth, gives birth to death.

bbe@James:1:17 @Every good and true thing is given to us from heaven, coming from the Father of lights, with whom there is no change or any shade made by turning.

bbe@James:1:18 @Of his purpose he gave us being, by his true word, so that we might be, in a sense, the first-fruits of all the things which he had made.

bbe@James:1:21 @For this reason, putting away all dirty behaviour and the overweight of evil, take into your souls without pride the word which, being planted there, is able to give you salvation.

bbe@James:1:22 @But be doers of the word, and not only hearers of it, blinding yourselves with false ideas.

bbe@James:1:25 @But he who goes on looking into the true law which makes him free, being not a hearer without memory but a doer putting it into effect, this man will have a blessing on his acts.

bbe@James:2:1 @My brothers, if you have the faith of our Lord Jesus Christ of glory, do not take a man's position into account.

bbe@James:2:2 @For if a man comes into your Synagogue in fair clothing and with a gold ring, and a poor man comes in with dirty clothing,

bbe@James:2:3 @And you do honour to the man in fair clothing and say, Come here and take this good place; and you say to the poor man, Take up your position there, or be seated at my feet;

bbe@James:2:4 @Is there not a division in your minds? have you not become judges with evil thoughts?

bbe@James:2:5 @Give ear, my dear brothers; are not those who are poor in the things of this world marked out by God to have faith as their wealth, and for their heritage the kingdom which he has said he will give to those who have love for him?

bbe@James:2:8 @But if you keep the greatest law of all, as it is given in the holy Writings, Have love for your neighbour as for yourself, you do well:

bbe@James:2:9 @But if you take a man's position into account, you do evil, and are judged as evil-doers by the law.

bbe@James:2:10 @For anyone who keeps all the law, but makes a slip in one point, is judged to have gone against it all.

bbe@James:2:13 @For the man who has had no mercy will be judged without mercy, but mercy takes pride in overcoming judging.

bbe@James:2:14 @What use is it, my brothers, for a man to say that he has faith, if he does nothing? will such a faith give him salvation?

bbe@James:2:15 @If a brother or a sister is without clothing and in need of the day's food,

bbe@James:2:16 @And one of you says to them, Go in peace, be warm and full of food; but you do not give them the things of which their bodies have need, what profit is there in this?

bbe@James:2:17 @Even so faith without works is dead.

bbe@James:2:18 @But a man may say, You have faith and I have works; let me see your faith without your works, and I will make my faith clear to you by my works.

bbe@James:2:19 @You have the belief that God is one, and you do well: the evil spirits have the same belief, shaking with fear.

bbe@James:2:20 @Do you not see, O foolish man, that faith without works is of no use?

bbe@James:2:22 @You see that his faith was helping his works and was made complete by them;

bbe@James:2:23 @And the holy Writings were put into effect which said, And Abraham had faith in God and it was put to his account as righteousness; and he was named the friend of God.

bbe@James:2:24 @You see that a man's righteousness is judged by his works and not by his faith only.

bbe@James:2:26 @For as the body without the spirit is dead even so faith without works is dead.

bbe@James:3:3 @Now if we put bits of iron into horses' mouths so that they may be guided by us, we have complete control of their bodies.

bbe@James:3:4 @And again ships, though they are so great and are moved by violent winds, are turned by a very small guiding-blade, at the impulse of the man who is using it.

bbe@James:3:5 @Even so the tongue is a small part of the body, but it takes credit for great things. How much wood may be lighted by a very little fire!

bbe@James:3:6 @And the tongue is a fire; it is the power of evil placed in our bodies, making all the body unclean, putting the wheel of life on fire, and getting its fire from hell.

bbe@James:3:7 @For every sort of beast and bird and every living thing on earth and in the sea has been controlled by man and is under his authority;

bbe@James:3:8 @But the tongue may not be controlled by man; it is an unresting evil, it is full of the poison of death.

bbe@James:3:9 @With it we give praise to our Lord and Father; and with it we put a curse on men who are made in God's image.

bbe@James:3:11 @Does the fountain send from the same outlet sweet and bitter water?

bbe@James:3:14 @But if you have bitter envy in your heart and the desire to get the better of others, have no pride in this, talking falsely against what is true.

bbe@James:3:17 @But the wisdom which is from heaven is first holy, then gentle, readily giving way in argument, full of peace and mercy and good works, not doubting, not seeming other than it is.

bbe@James:3:18 @And the fruit of righteousness is planted in peace for those who make peace.

bbe@James:4:1 @What is the cause of wars and fighting among you? is it not in your desires which are at war in your bodies?

bbe@James:4:2 @You are burning with desire, and have not your desire, so you put men to death; you are full of envy, and you are not able to get your desire, so you are fighting and making war; you have not your desire, because you do not make request for it.

bbe@James:4:3 @You make your request but you do not get it, because your request has been wrongly made, desiring the thing only so that you may make use of it for your pleasure.

bbe@James:4:5 @Or does it seem to you that it is for nothing that the holy Writings say, The spirit which God put into our hearts has a strong desire for us?

bbe@James:4:6 @But he gives more grace. So that the Writings say, God is against the men of pride, but he gives grace to those who make themselves low before him.

bbe@James:4:8 @Come near to God and he will come near to you. Make your hands clean, you evil-doers; put away deceit from your hearts, you false in mind.

bbe@James:4:9 @Be troubled, with sorrow and weeping; let your laughing be turned to sorrow and your joy to grief.

bbe@James:4:13 @How foolish it is to say, Today or tomorrow we will go into this town, and be there for a year and do business there and get wealth:

bbe@James:4:14 @When you are not certain what will take place tomorrow. What is your life? It is a mist, which is seen for a little time and then is gone.

bbe@James:4:15 @But the right thing to say would be, If it is the Lord's pleasure and if we are still living, we will do this and that.

bbe@James:4:17 @The man who has knowledge of how to do good and does not do it, to him it is sin.

bbe@James:5:1 @Come now, you men of wealth, give yourselves to weeping and crying because of the bitter troubles which are coming to you.

bbe@James:5:3 @Your gold and your silver are wasted and their waste will be a witness against you, burning into your flesh. You have put by your store in the last days.

bbe@James:5:7 @Go on waiting calmly, my brothers, till the coming of the Lord, like the farmer waiting for the good fruit of the earth till the early and late rains have come.

bbe@James:5:8 @Be as calm in your waiting; let your hearts be strong: because the coming of the Lord is near.

bbe@James:5:9 @Say no hard things against one another, brothers, so that you will not be judged; see, the judge is waiting at the doors.

bbe@James:5:11 @We say that those men who have gone through pain are happy: you have the story of Job and the troubles through which he went and have seen that the Lord was full of pity and mercy in the end.

bbe@James:5:15 @And by the prayer of faith the man who is ill will be made well, and he will be lifted up by the Lord, and for any sin which he has done he will have forgiveness.

bbe@James:5:16 @So then, make a statement of your sins to one another, and say prayers for one another so that you may be made well. The prayer of a good man is full of power in its working.

bbe@James:5:18 @And he made another prayer, and the heaven sent down rain and the earth gave her fruit.

bbe@James:5:19 @My brothers, if one of you has gone out of the way of the true faith and another has made him see his error,

bbe@James:5:20 @Be certain that he through whom a sinner has been turned from the error of his way, keeps a soul from death and is the cause of forgiveness for sins without number.

bbe@1Peter:1:1 @Peter, an Apostle of Jesus Christ, to the saints who are living in Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Asia, and Bithynia,

bbe@1Peter:1:2 @Who, through the purpose of God, have been made holy by the Spirit, disciples of Jesus, made clean by his blood: May you have grace and peace in full measure.

bbe@1Peter:1:4 @And a heritage fair, holy and for ever new, waiting in heaven for you,

bbe@1Peter:1:5 @Who, by the power of God are kept, through faith, for that salvation, which will be seen at the last day.

bbe@1Peter:1:6 @You have cause for great joy in this, though it may have been necessary for you to be troubled for a little time, being tested in all sorts of ways,

bbe@1Peter:1:7 @So that the true metal of your faith, being of much greater value than gold (which, though it comes to an end, is tested by fire), may come to light in praise and glory and honour, at the revelation of Jesus Christ:

bbe@1Peter:1:8 @To whom your love is given, though you have not seen him; and the faith which you have in him, though you do not see him now, gives you joy greater than words and full of glory:

bbe@1Peter:1:9 @For so you have the true end of your faith, even the salvation of your souls.

bbe@1Peter:1:10 @For the prophets who gave the news of the grace which would come to you, made search with all care for knowledge of this salvation;

bbe@1Peter:1:11 @Attempting to see what sort of time the Spirit of Christ which was in them was pointing to, when it gave witness to the pains which Christ would undergo and the glories which would come after them.

bbe@1Peter:1:12 @And it was made clear to those prophets that they were God's servants not for themselves but for you, to give you word of the things which have now come to your ears from the preachers of the good news through the Holy Spirit sent down from heaven; things which even angels have a desire to see.

bbe@1Peter:1:13 @So make your minds ready, and keep on the watch, hoping with all your power for the grace which is to come to you at the revelation of Jesus Christ;

bbe@1Peter:1:14 @Like children ruled by God, do not go back to the old desires of the time when you were without knowledge:

bbe@1Peter:1:16 @Because it has been said in the Writings, You are to be holy, for I am holy.

bbe@1Peter:1:17 @And if you give the name of Father to him who, judging every man by his acts, has no respect for a man's position, then go in fear while you are on this earth:

bbe@1Peter:1:18 @Being conscious that you have been made free from that foolish way of life which was your heritage from your fathers, not through a payment of things like silver or gold which come to destruction,

bbe@1Peter:1:21 @Who through him have faith in God who took him up again from the dead into glory; so that your faith and hope might be in God.

bbe@1Peter:1:22 @And as you have made your souls clean, being ruled by what is true, and loving one another without deceit, see that your love is warm and from the heart:

bbe@1Peter:1:24 @For it is said, All flesh is like grass, and all its glory like the flower of the grass. The grass becomes dry and the flower dead:

bbe@1Peter:2:1 @So putting away all wrongdoing, and all tricks and deceits and envies and evil talk,

bbe@1Peter:2:5 @You, as living stones, are being made into a house of the spirit, a holy order of priests, making those offerings of the spirit which are pleasing to God through Jesus Christ.

bbe@1Peter:2:6 @Because it is said in the Writings, See, I am placing a keystone in Zion, of great and special value; and the man who has faith in him will not be put to shame.

bbe@1Peter:2:7 @And the value is for you who have faith; but it is said for those without faith, The very stone which the builders put on one side, was made the chief stone of the building;

bbe@1Peter:2:8 @And, A stone of falling, a rock of trouble; the word is the cause of their fall, because they go against it, and this was the purpose of God.

bbe@1Peter:2:11 @My loved ones, I make this request with all my heart, that, as those for whom this world is a strange country, you will keep yourselves from the desires of the flesh which make war against the soul;

bbe@1Peter:2:15 @Because it is God's pleasure that foolish and narrow-minded men may be put to shame by your good behaviour:

bbe@1Peter:2:16 @As those who are free, not using your free position as a cover for wrongdoing, but living as the servants of God;

bbe@1Peter:2:18 @Servants, take orders from your masters with all respect; not only if they are good and gentle, but even if they are bad-humoured.

bbe@1Peter:2:19 @For it is a sign of grace if a man, desiring to do right in the eyes of God, undergoes pain as punishment for something which he has not done.

bbe@1Peter:2:20 @What credit is it if, when you have done evil, you take your punishment quietly? but if you are given punishment for doing right, and take it quietly, this is pleasing to God.

bbe@1Peter:2:22 @Who did no evil, and there was no deceit in his mouth:

bbe@1Peter:3:4 @But let them be those of the unseen man of the heart, the ever-shining ornament of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is of great price in the eyes of God.

bbe@1Peter:3:7 @And you husbands, give thought to your way of life with your wives, giving honour to the woman who is the feebler vessel, but who has an equal part in the heritage of the grace of life; so that you may not be kept from prayer.

bbe@1Peter:3:8 @Last of all, see that you are all in agreement; feeling for one another, loving one another like brothers, full of pity, without pride:

bbe@1Peter:3:9 @Not giving back evil for evil, or curse for curse, but in place of cursing, blessing; because this is the purpose of God for you that you may have a heritage of blessing.

bbe@1Peter:3:10 @For it is said, Let the man who has a love of life, desiring to see good days, keep his tongue from evil and his lips from words of deceit:

bbe@1Peter:3:11 @And let him be turned from evil and do good; searching for peace and going after it with all his heart.

bbe@1Peter:3:15 @But give honour to Christ in your hearts as your Lord; and be ready at any time when you are questioned about the hope which is in you, to give an answer in the fear of the Lord and without pride;

bbe@1Peter:3:17 @Because if it is God's purpose for you to undergo pain, it is better to do so for well-doing than for evil-doing.

bbe@1Peter:3:18 @Because Christ once went through pain for sins, the upright one taking the place of sinners, so that through him we might come back to God; being put to death in the flesh, but given life in the Spirit;

bbe@1Peter:3:19 @By whom he went to the spirits in prison, preaching to those

bbe@1Peter:3:22 @Who has gone into heaven, and is at the right hand of God, angels and authorities and powers having been put under his rule.

bbe@1Peter:4:4 @And they are wondering that you no longer go with them in this violent wasting of life, and are saying evil things of you:

bbe@1Peter:4:6 @For this was the reason why the good news of Jesus was given even to the dead, so that they might be judged as men in the flesh, but might be living before God in the spirit.

bbe@1Peter:4:7 @But the end of all things is near: so be serious in your behaviour and keep on the watch with prayer;

bbe@1Peter:4:8 @And most of all be warm in your love for one another; because in love there is forgiveness for sins without number:

bbe@1Peter:4:9 @Keep open house for all with a glad heart;

bbe@1Peter:4:11 @If anyone has anything to say, let it be as the words of God; if anyone has the desire to be the servant of others, let him do it in the strength which is given by God; so that in all things God may have the glory through Jesus Christ, whose are the glory and the power for ever.

bbe@1Peter:4:12 @Dear brothers, do not be surprised, as if it was something strange, if your faith is tested as by fire:

bbe@1Peter:4:14 @If men say evil things of you because of the name of Christ, happy are you; for the Spirit of glory and of God is resting on you.

bbe@1Peter:4:17 @For the time has come for the judging, starting with the church of God; but if it makes a start with us, what will be the end of those who are not under the rule of God?

bbe@1Peter:4:18 @And if it is hard for even the good man to get salvation, what chance has the man without religion or the sinner?

bbe@1Peter:5:1 @I who am myself one of the rulers of the church, and a witness of the death of Christ, having my part in the coming glory, send this serious request to the chief men among you:

bbe@1Peter:5:2 @Keep watch over the flock of God which is in your care, using your authority, not as forced to do so, but gladly; and not for unclean profit but with a ready mind;

bbe@1Peter:5:3 @Not as lords over God's heritage, but making yourselves examples to the flock.

bbe@1Peter:5:8 @Be serious and keep watch; the Evil One, who is against you, goes about like a lion with open mouth in search of food;

bbe@1Peter:5:9 @Do not give way to him but be strong in your faith, in the knowledge that your brothers who are in the world undergo the same troubles.

bbe@1Peter:5:10 @And after you have undergone pain for a little time, the God of all grace who has given you a part in his eternal glory through Christ Jesus, will himself give you strength and support, and make you complete in every good thing;

bbe@1Peter:5:11 @His is the power for ever. So be it.

bbe@1Peter:5:12 @I have sent you this short letter by Silvanus, a true brother, in my opinion; comforting you and witnessing that this is the true grace of God; keep to it

bbe@1Peter:5:13 @She who is in Babylon, who has a part with you in the purpose of God, sends you her love; and so does my son Mark.

bbe@2Peter:1:1 @Simon Peter, a servant and Apostle of Jesus Christ, to those who with us have a part in the same holy faith in the righteousness of our God and Saviour Jesus Christ:

bbe@2Peter:1:5 @So, for this very cause, take every care; joining virtue to faith, and knowledge to virtue,

bbe@2Peter:1:7 @And love of the brothers to fear of God, and to love of the brothers, love itself.

bbe@2Peter:1:8 @For if you have these things in good measure, they will make you fertile and full of fruit in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.

bbe@2Peter:1:12 @For this reason I will be ready at all times to keep your memory of these things awake, though you have the knowledge of them now and are well based in your present faith.

bbe@2Peter:1:13 @And it seems right to me, as long as I am in this tent of flesh, to keep your minds awake by working on your memory;

bbe@2Peter:1:16 @For when we gave you news of the power and the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, our teaching was not based on stories put together by art, but we were eye-witnesses of his glory.

bbe@2Peter:1:17 @For God the Father gave him honour and glory, when such a voice came to him out of the great glory, saying, This is my dearly loved Son, with whom I am well pleased.

bbe@2Peter:1:18 @And this voice came from heaven even to our ears, when we were with him on the holy mountain.

bbe@2Peter:1:19 @And so the words of the prophets are made more certain; and it is well for you to give attention to them as to a light shining in a dark place, till the dawn comes and the morning star is seen in your hearts;

bbe@2Peter:1:21 @For these words did not ever come through the impulse of men: but the prophets had them from God, being moved by the Holy Spirit.

bbe@2Peter:2:1 @But there were false prophets among the people, as there will be false teachers among you, who will secretly put forward wrong teachings for your destruction, even turning away from the Lord who gave himself for them; whose destruction will come quickly, and they themselves will be the cause of it.

bbe@2Peter:2:2 @And a great number will go with them in their evil ways, through whom the true way will have a bad name.

bbe@2Peter:2:3 @And in their desire for profit they will come to you with words of deceit, like traders doing business in souls: whose punishment has been ready for a long time and their destruction is watching for them.

bbe@2Peter:2:4 @For if God did not have pity for the angels who did evil, but sent them down into hell, to be kept in chains of eternal night till they were judged;

bbe@2Peter:2:5 @And did not have mercy on the world which then was, but only kept safe Noah, a preacher of righteousness, with seven others, when he let loose the waters over the world of the evil-doers;

bbe@2Peter:2:6 @And sent destruction on Sodom and Gomorrah, burning them up with fire as an example to those whose way of life might in the future be unpleasing to him;

bbe@2Peter:2:10 @But specially those who go after the unclean desires of the flesh, and make sport of authority. Ready to take chances, uncontrolled, they have no fear of saying evil of those in high places:

bbe@2Peter:2:12 @But these men, like beasts without reason, whose natural use is to be taken and put to death, crying out against things of which they have no knowledge, will undergo that same destruction which they are designing for others;

bbe@2Peter:2:13 @For the evil which overtakes them is the reward of their evil-doing: such men take their pleasure in the delights of the flesh even in the daytime; they are like the marks of a disease, like poisoned wounds among you, feasting together with you in joy;

bbe@2Peter:2:14 @Having eyes full of evil desire, never having enough of sin; turning feeble souls out of the true way; they are children of cursing, whose hearts are well used to bitter envy;

bbe@2Peter:2:16 @But his wrongdoing was pointed out to him: an ass, talking with a man's voice, put a stop to the error of the prophet.

bbe@2Peter:2:17 @These are fountains without water, and mists before a driving storm; for whom the eternal night is kept in store.

bbe@2Peter:2:18 @For with high-sounding false words, making use of the attraction of unclean desires of the flesh, they get into their power those newly made free from those who are living in error;

bbe@2Peter:2:20 @For if, after they have got free from the unclean things of the world through the knowledge of the Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, they are again taken in the net and overcome, their last condition is worse than their first.

bbe@2Peter:2:21 @For it would have been better for them to have had no knowledge of the way of righteousness, than to go back again from the holy law which was given to them, after having knowledge of it.

bbe@2Peter:2:22 @They are an example of that true saying, The dog has gone back to the food it had put out, and the pig which had been washed to its rolling in the dirty earth.

bbe@2Peter:3:4 @Saying, Where is the hope of his coming? From the death of the fathers till now everything has gone on as it was from the making of the world.

bbe@2Peter:3:7 @But the present heaven and the present earth have been kept for destruction by fire, which is waiting for them on the day of the judging and destruction of evil men.

bbe@2Peter:3:8 @But, my loved ones, keep in mind this one thing, that with the Lord one day is the same as a thousand years, and a thousand years are no more than one day.

bbe@2Peter:3:9 @The Lord is not slow in keeping his word, as he seems to some, but he is waiting in mercy for you, not desiring the destruction of any, but that all may be turned from their evil ways.

bbe@2Peter:3:10 @But the day of the Lord will come like a thief; and in that day the heavens will be rolled up with a great noise, and the substance of the earth will be changed by violent heat, and the world and everything in it will be burned up

bbe@2Peter:3:11 @Seeing then that all these things are coming to such an end, what sort of persons is it right for you to be, in all holy behaviour and righteousness,

bbe@2Peter:3:13 @But having faith in his word, we are looking for a new heaven and a new earth, which will be the resting-place of righteousness.

bbe@2Peter:3:15 @And be certain that the long waiting of the Lord is for salvation; even as our brother Paul has said in his letters to you, from the wisdom which was given to him;

bbe@2Peter:3:16 @And as he said in all his letters, which had to do with these things; in which are some hard sayings, so that, like the rest of the holy Writings, they are twisted by those who are uncertain and without knowledge, to the destruction of their souls.

bbe@2Peter:3:17 @For this reason, my loved ones, having knowledge of these things before they take place, take care that you are not turned away by the error of the uncontrolled, so falling from your true faith.

bbe@2Peter:3:18 @But be increased in grace and in the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. May he have glory now and for ever. So be it.

bbe@1John:1:1 @That which was from the first, which has come to our ears, and which we have seen with our eyes, looking on it and touching it with our hands, about the Word of life

bbe@1John:1:2 @(And the life was made clear to us, and we have seen it and are witnessing to it and giving you word of that eternal life which was with the Father and was seen by us);

bbe@1John:1:3 @We give you word of all we have seen and everything which has come to our ears, so that you may be united with us; and we are united with the Father and with his Son Jesus Christ:

bbe@1John:1:4 @And we are writing these things to you so that our joy may be made complete.

bbe@1John:1:7 @But if we are walking in the light, as he is in the light, we are all united with one another, and the blood of Jesus his Son makes us clean from all sin.

bbe@1John:2:1 @My little children, I am writing these things to you so that you may be without sin. And if any man is a sinner, we have a friend and helper with the Father, Jesus Christ, the upright one:

bbe@1John:2:8 @Again, I give you a new law, which is true in him and in you; for the night is near its end and the true light is even now shining out.

bbe@1John:2:11 @But he who has hate for his brother is in the dark, walking in the dark with no knowledge of where he is going, unable to see because of the dark.

bbe@1John:2:12 @I am writing to you, my children, because you have forgiveness of sins through his name.

bbe@1John:2:13 @I am writing to you, fathers, because you have knowledge of him who was from the first. I am writing to you, young men, because you have overcome the Evil One. I have sent a letter to you, children, because you have knowledge of the Father.

bbe@1John:2:17 @And the world and its desires is coming to an end: but he who does God's pleasure is living for ever.

bbe@1John:2:18 @Little children, it is the last hour; and as you were given word that the Antichrist would come, so now a number of Antichrists have come to you; and by this we are certain that it is the last hour.

bbe@1John:2:19 @They went out from us but they were not of us; if they had been of us they would still be with us: but they went out from us so that it might be made clear that they were not of us.

bbe@1John:2:20 @And you have the Spirit from the Holy One and you all have knowledge.

bbe@1John:2:21 @I have not sent you this letter because you have no knowledge of what is true, but because you have knowledge, and because that which is false has nothing in common with that which is true.

bbe@1John:2:26 @I am writing these things to you about those whose purpose is that you may be turned out of the true way.

bbe@1John:2:27 @As for you, the Spirit which he gave you is still in you, and you have no need of any teacher; but as his Spirit gives you teaching about all things, and is true and not false, so keep your hearts in him, through the teaching which he has given you.

bbe@1John:2:29 @If you have knowledge that he is upright, it is clear to you that everyone who does righteousness is his offspring.

bbe@1John:3:1 @See what great love the Father has given us in naming us the children of God; and such we are. For this reason the world does not see who we are, because it did not see who he was.

bbe@1John:3:2 @My loved ones, now we are children of God, and at present it is not clear what we are to be. We are certain that at his revelation we will be like him; for we will see him as he is.

bbe@1John:3:7 @My little children, let no man take you out of the true way: he who does righteousness is upright, even as he is upright;

bbe@1John:3:10 @In this way it is clear who are the children of God and who are the children of the Evil One; anyone who does not do righteousness or who has no love for his brother, is not a child of God

bbe@1John:3:16 @In this we see what love is, because he gave his life for us; and it is right for us to give our lives for the brothers.

bbe@1John:3:17 @But if a man has this world's goods, and sees that his brother is in need, and keeps his heart shut against his brother, how is it possible for the love of God to be in him?

bbe@1John:3:18 @My little children, do not let our love be in word and in tongue, but let it be in act and in good faith.

bbe@1John:3:23 @And this is his law, that we have faith in the name of his Son Jesus Christ, and love for one another, even as he said to us.

bbe@1John:3:24 @He who keeps his laws is in God and God is in him. And the Spirit which he gave us is our witness that he is in us.

bbe@1John:4:1 @My loved ones, do not put your faith in every spirit, but put them to the test, to see if they are from God: because a great number of false prophets have gone out into the world.

bbe@1John:4:2 @By this you may have knowledge of the Spirit of God: every spirit which says that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is of God:

bbe@1John:4:3 @And every spirit which does not say this is not from God: this is the spirit of Antichrist, of which you have had word; and it is in the world even now.

bbe@1John:4:4 @You are of God, my little children, and you have overcome them because he who is in you is greater than he who is in the world.

bbe@1John:4:6 @We are of God: he who has the knowledge of God gives ear to us; he who is not of God does not give ear to us. By this we may see which is the true spirit, and which is the spirit of error.

bbe@1John:4:11 @My loved ones, if God had such love for us, it is right for us to have love for one another.

bbe@1John:4:13 @And his Spirit which he has given us is the witness that we are in him and he is in us.

bbe@1John:4:14 @And we have seen and give witness that the Father sent the Son to be the Saviour of the world.

bbe@1John:4:16 @And we have seen and had faith in the love which God has for us. God is love, and everyone who has love is in God, and God is in him.

bbe@1John:4:17 @In this way love is made complete in us, so that we may be without fear on the day of judging, because as he is, so are we in this world.

bbe@1John:5:1 @Everyone who has faith that Jesus is the Christ is a child of God: and everyone who has love for the Father has love for his child.

bbe@1John:5:4 @Anything which comes from God is able to overcome the world: and the power by which we have overcome the world is our faith.

bbe@1John:5:5 @Who is able to overcome the world but the man who has faith that Jesus is the Son of God?

bbe@1John:5:7 @And the Spirit is the witness, because the Spirit is true.

bbe@1John:5:8 @There are three witnesses, the Spirit, the water, and the blood: and all three are in agreement.

bbe@1John:5:9 @If we take the witness of men to be true, the witness of God is greater: because this is the witness which God has given about his Son.

bbe@1John:5:10 @He who has faith in the Son of God has the witness in himself: he who has not faith in God makes him false, because he has not faith in the witness which God has given about his Son.

bbe@1John:5:11 @And his witness is this, that God has given us eternal life, and this life is in his Son.

bbe@1John:5:13 @I have put these things in writing for you who have faith in the name of the Son of God, so that you may be certain that you have eternal life.

bbe@1John:5:21 @My little children, keep yourselves from false gods.

bbe@2John:1:2 @Because of this true knowledge which is in us, and will be with us for ever:

bbe@2John:1:3 @May grace, mercy, and peace be with us from God the Father, and from Jesus Christ, the Son of the Father, in all true love.

bbe@2John:1:4 @It gave me great joy to see some of your children walking in the true way, even as we were ordered to do by the Father.

bbe@2John:1:6 @And love is the keeping of his laws. This is the law which was given to you from the first, so that you might keep it.

bbe@2John:1:7 @Because a number of false teachers have gone out into the world, who do not give witness that Jesus Christ came in the flesh. Such a one is a false teacher and Antichrist.

bbe@2John:1:12 @Having much to say to you, it is not my purpose to put it all down with paper and ink: but I am hoping to come to you, and to have talk with you face to face, so that your joy may be full.

bbe@3John:1:2 @My loved one, it is my prayer that you may do well in all things, and be healthy in body, even as your soul does well.

bbe@3John:1:3 @For it gave me great joy when some of the brothers came and gave witness that you had the true faith and were walking in the true way.

bbe@3John:1:6 @Who have given witness to the church of your love for them: and you will do well to send them on their way well cared for, as is right for servants of God:

bbe@3John:1:8 @So it is right for us to take in such men as guests, so that we may take our part in the work of the true faith.

bbe@3John:1:10 @So if I come, I will keep in mind the things he does, talking against us with evil words: and as if this was not enough, he does not take the brothers into his house, and those who are ready to take them in, he keeps from doing so, putting them out of the church if they do.

bbe@3John:1:12 @Demetrius has the approval of all men and of what is true: and we give the same witness, and you are certain that our witness is true.

bbe@3John:1:13 @I had much to say to you, but it is not my purpose to put it all down with ink and pen:

bbe@3John:1:14 @But I am hoping to see you in a short time, and to have talk with you face to face.

bbe@Jude:1:3 @My loved ones, while my thoughts were full of a letter which I was going to send you about our common salvation, it was necessary for me to send you one requesting you with all my heart to go on fighting strongly for the faith which has been given to the saints once and for ever.

bbe@Jude:1:4 @For certain men have come among you secretly, marked out before in the holy Writings for this evil fate, men without the fear of God, turning his grace into an unclean thing, and false to our only Master and Lord, Jesus Christ.

bbe@Jude:1:5 @Now it is my purpose to put you in mind, though you once had knowledge of all these things, of how the Lord, having taken a people safely out of Egypt, later sent destruction on those who had no faith;

bbe@Jude:1:8 @In the same way these dreamers make the flesh unclean, having no respect for authorities, and say evil of rulers.

bbe@Jude:1:10 @But these men say evil about such things as they have no knowledge of; and the things of which they have natural knowledge, like beasts without reason, are the cause of their destruction.

bbe@Jude:1:12 @These men are unseen rocks at your love-feasts, when they take part in them with you, keepers of sheep who without fear take the food of the sheep; clouds without water rushing before the wind, wasted trees without fruit, twice dead, pulled up by the roots,

bbe@Jude:1:13 @Violent waves of the sea, streaming with their shame, wandering stars for whom the darkest night is kept in store for ever.

bbe@Jude:1:14 @The prophet Enoch, who was the seventh after Adam, said of these men, The Lord came with tens of thousands of his saints,

bbe@Jude:1:15 @To be the judge of all, and to give a decision against all those whose lives are unpleasing to him, because of the evil acts which they have done, and because of all the hard things which sinners without fear of God have said against him.

bbe@Jude:1:16 @These are the men who make trouble, ever desiring change, going after evil pleasures, using high-sounding words, respecting men's position in the hope of reward.

bbe@Jude:1:19 @These are the men who make divisions, natural men, not having the Spirit.

bbe@Jude:1:20 @But you, my loved ones, building yourselves up on your most holy faith, and making prayers in the Holy Spirit,

bbe@Jude:1:22 @And have pity on those who are in doubt;

bbe@Jude:1:23 @And to some give salvation, pulling them out of the fire; and on some have mercy with fear, hating even the clothing which is made unclean by the flesh.

bbe@Jude:1:24 @Now to him who is able to keep you from falling, and to give you a place in his glory, free from all evil, with great joy,

bbe@Jude:1:25 @To the only God our Saviour, through Jesus Christ our Lord, let us give glory and honour and authority and power, before all time and now and for ever. So be it.

bbe@Revelation:1:1 @The Revelation of Jesus Christ which God gave him so that his servants might have knowledge of the things which will quickly take place: and he sent and made it clear by his angel to his servant John;

bbe@Revelation:1:2 @Who gave witness of the word of God, and of the witness of Jesus Christ, even of all the things which he saw.

bbe@Revelation:1:4 @John to the seven churches which are in Asia: Grace to you and peace, from him who is and was and is to come; and from the seven Spirits which are before his high seat;

bbe@Revelation:1:5 @And from Jesus Christ, the true witness, the first to come back from the dead, and the ruler of the kings of the earth. To him who had love for us and has made us clean from our sins by his blood;

bbe@Revelation:1:6 @And has made us to be a kingdom and priests to his God and Father; to him let glory and power be given for ever and ever. So be it.

bbe@Revelation:1:7 @See, he comes with the clouds, and every eye will see him, and those by whom he was wounded; and all the tribes of the earth will be sorrowing because of him. Yes, so be it.

bbe@Revelation:1:9 @I, John, your brother, who have a part with you in the trouble and the kingdom and the quiet strength of Jesus, was in the island which is named Patmos, for the word of God and the witness of Jesus.

bbe@Revelation:1:10 @I was in the Spirit on the Lord's day, and a great voice at my back, as of a horn, came to my ears,

bbe@Revelation:1:11 @Saying, What you see, put in a book, and send it to the seven churches; to Ephesus and to Smyrna and to Pergamos and to Thyatira and to Sardis and to Philadelphia and to Laodicea.

bbe@Revelation:1:12 @And turning to see the voice which said these words to me, I saw seven gold vessels with lights burning in them;

bbe@Revelation:1:13 @And in the middle of them one like a son of man, clothed with a robe down to his feet, and with a band of gold round his breasts.

bbe@Revelation:1:14 @And his head and his hair were white like wool, as white as snow; and his eyes were as a flame of fire;

bbe@Revelation:1:15 @And his feet like polished brass, as if it had been burned in a fire; and his voice was as the sound of great waters.

bbe@Revelation:1:16 @And he had in his right hand seven stars: and out of his mouth came a sharp two-edged sword: and his face was like the sun shining in its strength.

bbe@Revelation:1:19 @Put in writing, then, the things which you have seen, and the things which are, and the things which will be after these;

bbe@Revelation:1:20 @The secret of the seven stars which you saw in my right hand, and of the seven gold vessels with burning lights. The seven stars are the angels of the seven churches: and the seven lights are the seven churches.

bbe@Revelation:2:2 @I have knowledge of your doings, and of your hard work and long waiting, and that you will not put up with evil men, and have put to the test those who say they are Apostles and are not, and have seen that they are false;

bbe@Revelation:2:3 @And you have the power of waiting, and have undergone trouble because of my name, without weariness.

bbe@Revelation:2:5 @So keep in mind where you were at first, and be changed in heart and do the first works; or I will come to you, and will take away your light from its place, if your hearts are not changed.

bbe@Revelation:2:6 @But at least you have the credit of hating the works of the Nicolaitans, as I do.

bbe@Revelation:2:7 @He who has ears, let him give ear to what the Spirit says to the churches. To him who overcomes I will give of the fruit of the tree of life, which is in the Paradise of God.

bbe@Revelation:2:11 @He who has ears, let him give ear to what the Spirit says to the churches. He who overcomes will not come under the power of the second death.

bbe@Revelation:2:13 @I have knowledge that your living-place is where Satan has his seat: and you are true to my name, and were not turned away from your faith in me, even in the days of Antipas, my true witness, who was put to death among you, where Satan has his place.

bbe@Revelation:2:14 @But I have some things against you, because you have with you those who keep the teaching of Balaam, by whose suggestion Balak made the children of Israel go out of the right way, taking food which was offered to false gods, and going after the desires of the flesh.

bbe@Revelation:2:15 @And you have those who keep the teaching of the Nicolaitans.

bbe@Revelation:2:16 @See, then, that you have a change of heart; or I will come to you quickly, and will make war against them with the sword of my mouth.

bbe@Revelation:2:17 @He who has ears, let him give ear to what the Spirit says to the churches. To him who overcomes I will give of the secret manna, and I will give him a white stone, and on the stone a new name, of which no one has knowledge but he to whom it is given.

bbe@Revelation:2:19 @I have knowledge of your works, and your love and faith and help and strength in trouble, and that your last works are more than the first.

bbe@Revelation:2:22 @See, I will put her into a bed, and those who make themselves unclean with her, into great trouble, if they go on with her works.

bbe@Revelation:2:27 @And he will be ruling them with a rod of iron; as the vessels of the potter they will be broken, even as I have power from my Father:

bbe@Revelation:2:29 @He who has ears, let him give ear to what the Spirit says to the churches.

bbe@Revelation:3:1 @And to the angel of the church in Sardis say: These things says he who has the seven Spirits of God and the seven stars: I have knowledge of your works, that you seem to be living but are dead.

bbe@Revelation:3:3 @Keep in mind, then, the teaching which was given to you, and be ruled by it and have a change of heart. If then you do not keep watch, I will come like a thief, and you will have no knowledge of the hour when I will come on you.

bbe@Revelation:3:4 @But you have some names in Sardis who have kept clean their robes; and as a reward they will go in white with me.

bbe@Revelation:3:5 @He who overcomes will be dressed in white, and I will not take his name from the book of life, and I will give witness to his name before my Father, and before his angels.

bbe@Revelation:3:6 @He who has ears, let him give ear to what the Spirit says to the churches.

bbe@Revelation:3:7 @And to the angel of the church in Philadelphia say: These things says he who is holy, he who is true, he who has the key of David, opening the door so that it may be shut by no one, and shutting it so that it may be open to no one.

bbe@Revelation:3:8 @I have knowledge of your works (see, I have put before you an open door which may be shut by no one), and that you have a little strength, and have kept my word, and have been true to my name.

bbe@Revelation:3:13 @He who has ears, let him give ear to what the Spirit says to the churches.

bbe@Revelation:3:14 @And to the angel of the church in Laodicea say: These things says the true and certain witness, the head of God's new order:

bbe@Revelation:3:15 @I have knowledge of your works, that you are not cold or warm: it would be better if you were cold or warm.

bbe@Revelation:3:16 @So because you are not one thing or the other, I will have no more to do with you.

bbe@Revelation:3:17 @For you say, I have wealth, and have got together goods and land, and have need of nothing; and you are not conscious of your sad and unhappy condition, that you are poor and blind and without clothing.

bbe@Revelation:3:18 @If you are wise you will get from me gold tested by fire, so that you may have true wealth; and white robes to put on, so that your shame may not be seen; and oil for your eyes, so that you may see.

bbe@Revelation:3:19 @To all those who are dear to me, I give sharp words and punishment: then with all your heart have sorrow for your evil ways.

bbe@Revelation:3:20 @See, I am waiting at the door and giving the sign; if my voice comes to any man's ears and he makes the door open, I will come in to him, and will take food with him and he with me.

bbe@Revelation:3:21 @To him who overcomes I will give a place with me on my high seat, even as I overcame, and am seated with my Father on his high seat.

bbe@Revelation:3:22 @He who has ears, let him give ear to what the Spirit says to the churches.

bbe@Revelation:4:2 @Straight away I was in the Spirit: and I saw a high seat in heaven, and one was seated on it;

bbe@Revelation:4:4 @And round about the high seat were four and twenty seats: and on them I saw four and twenty rulers seated, clothed in white robes; and on their heads crowns of gold.

bbe@Revelation:4:5 @And out of the high seat came flames and voices and thunders. And seven lights of fire were burning before the high seat, which are the seven Spirits of God;

bbe@Revelation:4:6 @And before the high seat there was, as it seemed, a clear sea of glass; and in the middle of the high seat, and round about it, four beasts full of eyes round about.

bbe@Revelation:4:8 @And the four beasts, having every one of them six wings, are full of eyes round about and inside: and without resting day and night, they say, Holy, holy, holy, Lord God, Ruler of all, who was and is and is to come.

bbe@Revelation:4:11 @It is right, our Lord and our God, for you to have glory and honour and power: because by you were all things made, and by your desire they came into being.

bbe@Revelation:5:1 @And I saw in the right hand of him who was seated on the high seat, a book with writing inside it and on the back, shut with seven stamps of wax.

bbe@Revelation:5:2 @And I saw a strong angel saying in a loud voice, Who is able to make the book open, and to undo its stamps?

bbe@Revelation:5:3 @And no one in heaven, or on the earth, or under the earth, was able to get the book open, or to see what was in it.

bbe@Revelation:5:4 @And I was very sad, because there was no one able to get the book open or to see what was in it.

bbe@Revelation:5:5 @And one of the rulers said to me, Do not be sad: see, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, has overcome, and has power to undo the book and its seven stamps.

bbe@Revelation:5:6 @And I saw in the middle of the high seat and of the four beasts, and in the middle of the rulers, a Lamb in his place, which seemed as if it had been put to death, having seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven Spirits of God, sent out into all the earth.

bbe@Revelation:5:7 @And he came and took it out of the right hand of him who was seated on the high seat.

bbe@Revelation:5:9 @And their voices are sounding in a new song, saying, It is right for you to take the book and to make it open: for you were put to death and have made an offering to God of your blood for men of every tribe, and language, and people, and nation,

bbe@Revelation:5:12 @Saying with a great voice, It is right to give to the Lamb who was put to death, power and wealth and wisdom and strength and honour and glory and blessing

bbe@Revelation:5:14 @And the four beasts said, So be it. And the rulers went down on their faces and gave worship.

bbe@Revelation:6:1 @And I saw when the Lamb undid one of the stamps, and the voice of one of the four beasts came to my ears, saying as with a voice of thunder, Come and see.

bbe@Revelation:6:2 @And I saw a white horse, and he who was seated on it had a bow; and there was given to him a crown: and he went out with power to overcome.

bbe@Revelation:6:4 @And another horse came out, a red horse; and it was given to him who was seated on it to take peace from the earth, so that people might put one another to death: and there was given to him a great sword.

bbe@Revelation:6:5 @And when the third stamp was undone, the voice of the third beast came to my ears, saying, Come and see. And I saw a black horse; and he who was seated on it had scales in his hand.

bbe@Revelation:6:8 @And I saw a grey horse, and the name of him who was seated on it was Death; and Hell came after him. And there was given to them authority over the fourth part of the earth, to put to destruction by the sword, and by taking away their food, and by death, and by the beasts of the earth.

bbe@Revelation:6:9 @And when the fifth stamp was undone, I saw under the altar the souls of those who had been put to death for the word of God, and for the witness which they kept.

bbe@Revelation:6:10 @And they gave a great cry, saying, How long will it be, O Ruler, holy and true, before you take your place as judge and give punishment for our blood to those on the earth?

bbe@Revelation:6:11 @And there was given to every one a white robe, and they were ordered to take their rest for a little time, till the number was complete of the other servants, their brothers, who would be put to death, even as they had been.

bbe@Revelation:6:13 @And the stars of heaven were falling to the earth, like green fruit from a tree before the force of a great wind.

bbe@Revelation:6:14 @And the heaven was taken away like the roll of a book when it is rolled up; and all the mountains and islands were moved out of their places

bbe@Revelation:7:2 @And I saw another angel coming up from the east, having the mark of the living God: and he said with a great voice to the four angels, to whom it was given to do damage to the earth and the sea,

bbe@Revelation:7:9 @After these things I saw a great army of people more than might be numbered, out of every nation and of all tribes and peoples and languages, taking their places before the high seat and before the Lamb, dressed in white robes, and with branches in their hands,

bbe@Revelation:7:10 @Saying with a loud voice, Salvation to our God who is seated on the high seat, and to the Lamb.

bbe@Revelation:7:12 @So be it. Let blessing and glory and wisdom and praise and honour and power and strength be given to our God for ever and ever. So be it.

bbe@Revelation:7:13 @And one of the rulers made answer, saying to me, These who have on white robes, who are they, and where did they come from?

bbe@Revelation:7:14 @And I said to him, My lord, you have knowledge. And he said to me, These are they who came through the great testing, and their robes have been washed and made white in the blood of the Lamb.

bbe@Revelation:8:3 @And another angel came and took his place at the altar, having a gold vessel for burning perfume; and there was given to him much perfume, so that he might put it with the prayers of all the saints on the gold altar which was before the high seat.

bbe@Revelation:8:4 @And the smoke of the perfume, with the prayers of the saints, went up before God out of the angel's hand.

bbe@Revelation:8:5 @And the angel took the vessel; and he made it full of the fire of the altar, and sent it down on the earth: and there came thunders and voices and flames and a shaking of the earth.

bbe@Revelation:8:7 @And at the sounding of the first, a rain of ice and fire, mixed with blood, was sent on the earth: and a third part of the earth, and of the trees, and all green grass was burned up.

bbe@Revelation:8:8 @And at the sounding of the second angel, it was as if a great mountain burning with fire was sent into the sea: and a third part of the sea became blood,

bbe@Revelation:8:10 @And at the sounding of the third angel, there went down from heaven a great star, burning like a flame, and it came on a third part of the rivers, and on the fountains of water.

bbe@Revelation:8:11 @And the name of the star is Wormwood: and a third part of the waters became bitter; and a number of men came to their end because of the waters, for they were made bitter.

bbe@Revelation:8:13 @And there came to my ears the cry of an eagle in flight in the middle of heaven, saying with a great voice, Trouble, trouble, trouble, to all on the earth, because of the other voices of the horns of the three angels, whose sounding is still to come.

bbe@Revelation:9:2 @And he made the great deep open and a smoke went up from it, like the smoke of a great oven; and the sun and the air were made dark because of the smoke.

bbe@Revelation:9:6 @And in those days men will be hoping for death, and it will not come to them; and they will have a great desire for death, and death will go in flight from them.

bbe@Revelation:9:19 @For the power of the horses is in their mouths and in their tails: because their tails are like snakes, and have heads, and with them they give wounds.

bbe@Revelation:9:20 @And the rest of the people, who were not put to death by these evils, were not turned from the works of their hands, but went on giving worship to evil spirits, and images of gold and silver and brass and stone and wood which have no power of seeing or hearing or walking:

bbe@Revelation:10:1 @And I saw another strong angel coming down out of heaven, clothed with a cloud; and an arch of coloured light was round his head, and his face was like the sun, and his feet like pillars of fire;

bbe@Revelation:10:2 @And he had in his hand a little open book: and he put his right foot on the sea, and his left on the earth;

bbe@Revelation:10:4 @And when the seven thunders had given out their voices, I was about to put their words down: and a voice from heaven came to my ears, saying, Keep secret the things which the seven thunders said, and do not put them in writing.

bbe@Revelation:10:5 @And the angel which I saw taking his position on the sea and on the earth, put up his right hand to heaven,

bbe@Revelation:10:6 @And took his oath by him who is living for ever and ever, who made the heaven and the things in it, and the earth and the things in it, and the sea and the things in it, that there would be no more waiting:

bbe@Revelation:10:9 @And I went to the angel, and said to him, Give me the little book

bbe@Revelation:10:10 @And I took the little book out of the angel's hand and did as he said; and it was sweet as honey in my mouth: and when I had taken it, my stomach was made bitter.

bbe@Revelation:11:1 @And there was given to me a measuring rod: and one said, Go up and take the measure of the house of God, and the altar, and the worshippers in it.

bbe@Revelation:11:2 @But do not take the measure of the space outside the house; because it has been given to the nations: and the holy town will be under their feet for forty-two months.

bbe@Revelation:11:3 @And I will give orders to my two witnesses, and they will be prophets for a thousand, two hundred and sixty days, clothed with haircloth.

bbe@Revelation:11:7 @And when they have come to the end of their witness, the beast which comes up out of the great deep will make war on them and overcome them and put them to death.

bbe@Revelation:11:8 @And their dead bodies will be in the open street of the great town, which in the spirit is named Sodom and Egypt, where their Lord was put to death on the cross.

bbe@Revelation:12:1 @And a great sign was seen in heaven: a A woman clothed with the sun, and with the moon under her feet, and on her head a crown of twelve stars.

bbe@Revelation:12:2 @And she was with child; and she gave a cry, in the pains of childbirth.

bbe@Revelation:12:5 @And she gave birth to a son, a male child, who was to have rule over all the nations with a rod of iron: and her child was taken up to God and to his high seat.

bbe@Revelation:12:7 @And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels going out to the fight with the dragon; and the dragon and his angels made war,

bbe@Revelation:12:9 @And the great dragon was forced down, the old snake, who is named the Evil One and Satan, by whom all the earth is turned from the right way; he was forced down to the earth, and his angels were forced down with him.

bbe@Revelation:12:10 @And a great voice in heaven came to my ears, saying, Now is come the salvation, and the power, and the kingdom of our God, and the authority of his Christ: because he who says evil against our brothers before our God day and night is forced down.

bbe@Revelation:12:11 @And they overcame him through the blood of the Lamb and the word of their witness; and loving not their lives they freely gave themselves up to death.

bbe@Revelation:12:16 @And the earth gave help to the woman, and with open mouth took up the river which the dragon sent out of his mouth.

bbe@Revelation:12:17 @And the dragon was angry with the woman and went away to make war on the rest of her seed, who keep the orders of God, and the witness of Jesus:

bbe@Revelation:13:2 @And the beast which I saw was like a leopard, and his feet were as the feet of a bear, and his mouth as the mouth of a lion: and the dragon gave him his power and his seat and great authority.

bbe@Revelation:13:3 @And I saw one of his heads as if it had been given a death-wound; and his death-wound was made well: and all the earth was wondering at the beast.

bbe@Revelation:13:4 @And they gave worship to the dragon, because he gave authority to the beast; and worshipping the beast, they said, Who is like the beast? and who is able to go to war with him?

bbe@Revelation:13:5 @And there was given to him a mouth to say words of pride against God; and there was given to him authority to go on for forty-two months.

bbe@Revelation:13:7 @And it was given to him to make war on the saints and to overcome them: and there was given to him authority over every tribe and people and language and nation.

bbe@Revelation:13:10 @If any man sends others into prison, into prison he will go: if any man puts to death with the sword, with the sword will he be put to death. Here is the quiet strength and the faith of the saints.

bbe@Revelation:13:12 @And he makes use of all the authority of the first beast before his eyes. And he makes the earth and those who are in it give worship to the first beast, whose death-wound was made well.

bbe@Revelation:13:18 @Here is wisdom. He who has knowledge let him get the number of the beast; because it is the number of a man: and his number is Six hundred and sixty-six.

bbe@Revelation:14:1 @And I saw the Lamb on the mountain of Zion, and with him a hundred and forty-four thousand, marked on their brows with his name and the name of his Father.

bbe@Revelation:14:3 @And they made as it seemed a new song before the high seat, and before the four beasts and the rulers: and no man might have knowledge of the song but the hundred and forty-four thousand, even those from the earth whom God has made his for a price.

bbe@Revelation:14:4 @These are they who have not made themselves unclean with women; for they are virgins. These are they who go after the Lamb wherever he goes. These were taken from among men to be the first fruits to God and to the Lamb.

bbe@Revelation:14:7 @Saying with a loud voice, Have fear of God and give him glory; because the hour of his judging is come; and give worship to him who made heaven and earth and the sea and the fountains of water.

bbe@Revelation:14:9 @And a third angel came after them, saying with a loud voice, If any man gives worship to the beast and his image, and has his mark on his brow or on his hand,

bbe@Revelation:14:10 @To him will be given of the wine of God's wrath which is ready unmixed in the cup of his wrath and he will have cruel pain, burning with fire before the holy angels and before the Lamb:

bbe@Revelation:14:12 @Here is the quiet strength of the saints, who keep the orders of God, and the faith of Jesus.

bbe@Revelation:14:13 @And a voice from heaven came to my ears, saying, Put in writing, There is a blessing on the dead who from now on come to their end in the Lord: yes, says the Spirit, that they may have rest from their troubles; for their works go with them.

bbe@Revelation:14:14 @And I saw a white cloud, and on the cloud I saw one seated, like a son of man, having on his head a crown of gold, and in his hand a sharp curved blade.

bbe@Revelation:14:15 @And another angel came out from the house of God, crying with a loud voice to him who was seated on the cloud, Put in your blade, and let the grain be cut: because the hour for cutting it is come; for the grain of the earth is over-ready.

bbe@Revelation:14:19 @And the angel sent his blade into the earth, and the vine of the earth was cut, and he put it into the great wine-crusher of the wrath of God.

bbe@Revelation:15:2 @And I saw a sea which seemed like glass mixed with fire; and those who had overcome the beast and his image and the number of his name, were in their places by the sea of glass, with God's instruments of music in their hands.

bbe@Revelation:15:5 @And after these things I saw, and the house of the Tent of witness in heaven was open:

bbe@Revelation:15:6 @And the seven angels who had the seven punishments came out from the house of God, clothed with linen, clean and bright and with bands of gold about their breasts.

bbe@Revelation:16:2 @And the first went, and let what was in his vessel come down on the earth; and it became an evil poisoning wound on the men who had the mark of the beast, and who gave worship to his image.

bbe@Revelation:16:3 @And the second let what was in his vessel come out into the sea; and it became blood as of a dead man; and every living thing in the sea came to an end.

bbe@Revelation:16:8 @And the fourth let what was in his vessel come out on the sun; and power was given to it that men might be burned with fire.

bbe@Revelation:16:9 @And men were burned with great heat: and they said evil things against the name of the God who has authority over these punishments; and they were not turned from their evil ways to give him glory.

bbe@Revelation:16:10 @And the fifth let what was in his vessel come out on the high seat of the beast; and his kingdom was made dark; and they were biting their tongues for pain.

bbe@Revelation:16:12 @And the sixth let what was in his vessel come out on the great river Euphrates; and it became dry, so that the way might be made ready for the kings from the east.

bbe@Revelation:16:13 @And I saw coming out of the mouth of the dragon, and out of the mouth of the beast, and out of the mouth of the false prophet, three unclean spirits, like frogs.

bbe@Revelation:16:14 @For they are evil spirits, working signs; who go out even to the kings of all the earth, to get them together to the war of the great day of God, the Ruler of all.

bbe@Revelation:16:17 @And the seventh let what was in his vessel come out on the air; and there came out a great voice from the house of God, from the high seat, saying, It is done.

bbe@Revelation:16:21 @And great drops of ice, every one about the weight of a talent, came down out of heaven on men: and men said evil things against God because of the punishment of the ice-drops; for it is very great

bbe@Revelation:17:2 @With whom the kings of the earth made themselves unclean, and those who are on the earth were full of the wine of her evil desires.

bbe@Revelation:17:3 @And he took me away in the Spirit into a waste land: and I saw a woman seated on a bright red beast, full of evil names, having seven heads and ten horns,

bbe@Revelation:17:4 @And the woman was clothed in purple and bright red, with ornaments of gold and stones of great price and jewels; and in her hand was a gold cup full of evil things and her unclean desires;

bbe@Revelation:17:6 @And I saw the woman overcome as with the wine of the blood of the saints, and the blood of those put to death because of Jesus. And when I saw her, I was overcome with a great wonder.

bbe@Revelation:17:10 @And they are seven kings; the five have come to an end, the one is, the other has not come; and when he comes, he will have to go on for a little time.

bbe@Revelation:17:12 @And the ten horns which you saw are ten kings, which still have been given no kingdom; but they are given authority as kings, with the beast, for one hour.

bbe@Revelation:17:13 @These have one mind, and they give their power and authority to the beast.

bbe@Revelation:17:14 @These will make war against the Lamb, and the Lamb will overcome them, because he is the Lord of lords and King of kings; and those who are with him are named, marked out, and true.

bbe@Revelation:17:16 @And the ten horns which you saw, and the beast, these will be turned against the evil woman, and will make her waste and uncovered, and will take her flesh for food, and will have her burned with fire.

bbe@Revelation:17:17 @Because God has put it in their hearts to do his purpose, and to be of one mind, giving their kingdom to the beast, till the words of God have effect and are complete.

bbe@Revelation:18:1 @After these things I saw another angel coming down out of heaven, having great authority; and the earth was bright with his glory.

bbe@Revelation:18:2 @And he gave a loud cry, saying, Babylon the great has come down from her high place, she has come to destruction and has become a place of evil spirits, and of every unclean spirit, and a hole for every unclean and hated bird.

bbe@Revelation:18:3 @For through the wine of the wrath of her evil desires all the nations have come to destruction; and the kings of the earth made themselves unclean with her, and the traders of the earth had their wealth increased by the power of her evil ways.

bbe@Revelation:18:8 @For this reason in one day will her troubles come, death and sorrow and need of food; and she will be completely burned with fire; for strong is the Lord God who is her judge.

bbe@Revelation:18:9 @And the kings of the earth, who made themselves unclean with her, and in her company gave themselves up to evil, will be weeping and crying over her, when they see the smoke of her burning,

bbe@Revelation:18:14 @And the fruit of your soul's desire has gone from you, and all things delicate and shining have come to an end and will never again be seen.

bbe@Revelation:18:16 @Saying, Sorrow, sorrow for the great town, she who was clothed in delicate linen, and purple, and red; with ornaments of gold and stones of great price and jewels!

bbe@Revelation:18:21 @And a strong angel took up a stone like the great stone with which grain is crushed, and sent it into the sea, saying, So, with a great fall, will Babylon, the great town, come to destruction, and will not be seen any more at all.

bbe@Revelation:19:2 @For true and upright are his decisions; for by him has the evil woman been judged, who made the earth unclean with the sins of her body; and he has given her punishment for the blood of his servants.

bbe@Revelation:19:7 @Let us be glad with delight, and let us give glory to him: because the time is come for the Lamb to be married, and his wife has made herself ready.

bbe@Revelation:19:8 @And to her it was given to be clothed in delicate linen, clean and shining: for the clean linen is the righteousness of the saints.

bbe@Revelation:19:11 @And the heaven was open; and I saw a white horse, and he who was seated on it was named Certain and True; and he is judging and making war in righteousness.

bbe@Revelation:19:12 @And his eyes are a flame of fire, and crowns are on his head; and he has a name in writing, of which no man has knowledge but himself.

bbe@Revelation:19:13 @And he is clothed in a robe washed with blood: and his name is The Word of God.

bbe@Revelation:19:14 @And the armies which are in heaven went after him on white horses, clothed in delicate linen, white and clean.

bbe@Revelation:19:15 @And out of his mouth comes a sharp sword, with which he overcomes the nations: and he has rule over them with a rod of iron: and he is crushing with his feet the grapes of the strong wrath of God the Ruler of all.

bbe@Revelation:19:17 @And I saw an angel taking his place in the sun; and he was crying with a loud voice, saying to all the birds in flight in the heavens, Come together to the great feast of God;

bbe@Revelation:19:20 @And the beast was taken, and with him the false prophet who did the signs before him, by which they were turned from the true way who had the mark of the beast, and who gave worship to his image: these two were put living into the sea of ever-burning fire.

bbe@Revelation:19:21 @And the rest were put to death with the sword of him who was on the horse, even the sword which came out of his mouth: and all the birds were made full with their flesh.

bbe@Revelation:20:3 @And put him into the great deep, and it was shut and locked over him, so that he might put the nations in error no longer, till the thousand years were ended: after this he will be let loose for a little time.

bbe@Revelation:20:4 @And I saw high seats, and they were seated on them, and the right of judging was given to them: and I saw the souls of those who were put to death for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and those who did not give worship to the beast, or to his image, and had not his mark on their brows or on their hands; and they were living and ruling with Christ a thousand years.

bbe@Revelation:20:6 @Happy and holy is he who has a part in this first coming: over these the second death has no authority, but they will be priests of God and of Christ, and will be ruling with him a thousand years.

bbe@Revelation:20:11 @And I saw a great white seat, and him who was seated on it, before whose face the earth and the heaven went in flight; and there was no place for them.

bbe@Revelation:20:13 @And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and Hell gave up the dead which were in them; and they were judged every man by his works.

bbe@Revelation:21:3 @And there came to my ears a great voice out of the high seat, saying, See, the Tent of God is with men, and he will make his living-place with them, and they will be his people, and God himself will be with them, and be their God.

bbe@Revelation:21:5 @And he who is seated on the high seat said, See, I make all things new. And he said, Put it in the book; for these words are certain and true.

bbe@Revelation:21:6 @And he said to me, It is done. I am the First and the Last, the start and the end. I will freely give of the fountain of the water of life to him who is in need.

bbe@Revelation:21:7 @He who overcomes will have these things for his heritage; and I will be his God, and he will be my son.

bbe@Revelation:21:8 @But those who are full of fear and without faith, the unclean and takers of life, those who do the sins of the flesh, and those who make use of evil powers or who give worship to images, and all those who are false, will have their part in the sea of ever-burning fire which is the second death.

bbe@Revelation:21:10 @And he took me away in the Spirit to a great and high mountain, and let me see the holy town Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God,

bbe@Revelation:21:12 @She had a wall great and high, with twelve doors, and at the doors twelve angels; and names on them, which are the names of the twelve tribes of the children of Israel.

bbe@Revelation:21:15 @And he who was talking with me had a gold measuring-rod to take the measure of the town, and of its doors, and its wall.

bbe@Revelation:21:16 @And the town is square, as wide as it is long; and he took the measure of the town with the rod, one thousand and five hundred miles: it is equally long and wide and high.

bbe@Revelation:21:17 @And he took the measure of its wall, one hundred and forty-four cubits, after the measure of a man, that is, of an angel.

bbe@Revelation:21:18 @And the building of its wall was of jasper, and the town was clear gold, clear as glass.

bbe@Revelation:21:20 @The fifth, sardonyx; the sixth, sardius; the seventh, chrysolite; the eighth, beryl; the ninth, topaz; the tenth, chrysoprase; the eleventh, jacinth; the twelfth, amethyst.

bbe@Revelation:21:22 @And I saw no Temple there; because the Lord God, the Ruler of all, and the Lamb are its Temple.

bbe@Revelation:21:23 @And the town has no need of the sun, or of the moon, to give it light: for the glory of God did make it light, and the light of it is the Lamb.

bbe@Revelation:21:24 @And the nations will go in its light: and the kings of the earth will take their glory into it.

bbe@Revelation:21:25 @And the doors of it will never be shut by day (for there is no night there):

bbe@Revelation:21:26 @And the glory and honour of the nations will come into it:

bbe@Revelation:21:27 @And nothing unclean may come into it, or anyone whose works are cursed or false; but only those whose names are in the Lamb's book of life.

bbe@Revelation:22:2 @In the middle of its street. And on this side of the river and on that was the tree of life, having twelve sorts of fruits, giving its fruit every month; and the leaves of the tree give life to the nations.

bbe@Revelation:22:6 @And he said to me, These words are certain and true: and the Lord, the God of the spirits of the prophets, sent his angel to make clear to his servants the things which are now to come about.

bbe@Revelation:22:9 @And he said to me, See you do it not; I am a brother-servant with you and with your brothers the prophets, and with those who keep the words of this book: give worship to God.

bbe@Revelation:22:12 @See, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to give to every man the outcome of his works.

bbe@Revelation:22:16 @I, Jesus, have sent my angel to give witness to you of these things in the churches

bbe@Revelation:22:17 @And the Spirit and the bride say, Come. And let him who gives ear, say, Come. And let him who is in need come; and let everyone desiring it take of the water of life freely.

bbe@Revelation:22:18 @For I say to every man to whose ears have come the words of this prophet's book, If any man makes an addition to them, God will put on him the punishments which are in this book:

bbe@Revelation:22:20 @He who gives witness to these things says, Truly, I come quickly. Even so come, Lord Jesus.

bbe@Revelation:22:21 @The grace of the Lord Jesus be with the saints. So be it.
