bbe@Genesis:3:14 @And the Lord God said to the snake, Because you have done this you are cursed more than all cattle and every beast of the field; you will go flat on the earth, and dust will be your food all the days of your life:

bbe@Genesis:3:15 @And there will be war between you and the woman and between your seed and her seed: by him will your head be crushed and by you his foot will be wounded.

bbe@Genesis:3:16 @To the woman he said, Great will be your pain in childbirth; in sorrow will your children come to birth; still your desire will be for your husband, but he will be your master.

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:10:6 @And the sons of Ham: Cush and Mizraim and Put and Canaan.

bbe@Genesis:10:7 @And the sons of Cush: Seba and Havilah and Sabtah and Raamah and Sabteca; and the sons of Raamah: Sheba and Dedan.

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:11:4 @And they said, Come, let us make a town, and a tower whose top will go up as high as heaven; and let us make a great name for ourselves, so that we may not be wanderers over the face of the earth.

bbe@Genesis:11:7 @Come, let us go down and take away the sense of their language, so that they will not be able to make themselves clear to one another.

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:12:1 @Now the Lord said to Abram, Go out from your country and from your family and from your father's house, into the land to which I will be your guide:

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:12:15 @And Pharaoh's great men, having seen her, said words in praise of her to Pharaoh, and she was taken into Pharaoh's house.

bbe@Genesis:12:16 @And because of her, he was good to Abram, and he had sheep and oxen and asses, and men-servants and women-servants, and camels.

bbe@Genesis:12:17 @And the Lord sent great troubles on Pharaoh's house because of Sarai, Abram's wife.

bbe@Genesis:13:16 @And I will make your children like the dust of the earth, so that if the dust of the earth may be numbered, then will your children be numbered.

bbe@Genesis:14:14 @And Abram, hearing that his brother's son had been made a prisoner, took a band of his trained men, three hundred and eighteen of them, sons of his house, and went after them as far as Dan.

bbe@Genesis:14:15 @And separating his forces by night, he overcame them, putting them to flight and going after them as far as Hobah, which is on the north side of Damascus.

bbe@Genesis:15:2 @And Abram said, What will you give me? for I have no child and this Eliezer of Damascus will have all my wealth after me.

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

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

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: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:17:13 @He who comes to birth in your house and he who is made yours for a price, all are to undergo circumcision; so that my agreement may be marked in your flesh, an agreement for all time.

bbe@Genesis:17:23 @And Abraham took Ishmael, his son, and all whose birth had taken place in his house, and all his servants whom he had made his for a price, every male of his house, and on that very day he gave them circumcision in the flesh of their private parts as God had said to him

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:18:12 @And Sarah, laughing to herself, said, Now that I am used up am I still to have pleasure, my husband himself being old?

bbe@Genesis:18:18 @Seeing that Abraham will certainly become a great and strong nation, and his name will be used by all the nations of the earth as a blessing?

bbe@Genesis:18:20 @And the Lord said, Because the outcry against Sodom and Gomorrah is very great, and their sin is very evil,

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

bbe@Genesis:18:27 @And Abraham answering said, Truly, I who am only dust, have undertaken to put my thoughts before the Lord:

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:18:31 @And he said, See now, I have undertaken to put my thoughts before the Lord: what if there are twenty there? And he said, I will have mercy because of the twenty.

bbe@Genesis:18:32 @And he said, O let not the Lord be angry and I will say only one word more: by chance there may be ten there. And he said, I will have mercy because of the ten.

bbe@Genesis:19:2 @And he said, My masters, come now into your servant's house and take your rest there for the night, and let your feet be washed; and early in the morning you may go on your way. And they said, Not so, but we will take our night's rest in the street.

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:19:4 @But before they had gone to bed, the men of the town, all the men of Sodom, came round the house, young and old, from every part of the town;

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:19:9 @And they said, Give way there. This one man, they said, came here from a strange country, and will he now be our judge? now we will do worse to you than to them; and pushing violently against Lot, they came near to get the door broken in.

bbe@Genesis:19:10 @But the men put out their hands and took Lot into the house to them, shutting the door again

bbe@Genesis:19:13 @For we are about to send destruction on this place, because a great outcry against them has come to the ears of the Lord; and the Lord has sent us to put an end to the town.

bbe@Genesis:19:14 @And Lot went out and said to his sons-in-law, who were married to his daughters, Come, let us go out of this place, for the Lord is about to send destruction on the town. But his sons-in-law did not take him seriously.

bbe@Genesis:19:31 @And the older daughter said to her sister, Our father is old, and there is no man to be a husband to us in the natural way:

bbe@Genesis:19:32 @Come, let us give our father much wine, and we will go into his bed, so that we may have offspring by our father,

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:20:3 @But God came to Abimelech in a dream in the night, and said to him, Truly you are a dead man because of the woman whom you have taken; for she is a man's wife.

bbe@Genesis:20:7 @So now, give the man back his wife, for he is a prophet, and let him say a prayer for you, so your life may be safe: but if you do not give her back, be certain that death will come to you and all your house.

bbe@Genesis:20:9 @Then Abimelech sent for Abraham, and said, What have you done to us? what wrong have I done you that you have put on me and on my kingdom so great a sin? You have done to me things which are not to be done.

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:20:13 @And when God sent me wandering from my father's house, I said to her, Let this be the sign of your love for me; wherever we go, say of me, He is my brother.

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:20:18 @For the Lord had kept all the women of the house of Abimelech from having children, because of Sarah, Abraham's wife.

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:21:11 @And this was a great grief to Abraham because of his son.

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:21:13 @And I will make a nation of the son of your servant-woman, because he is your seed.

bbe@Genesis:21:15 @And when all the water in the skin was used up, she put the child down under a tree.

bbe@Genesis:21:25 @But Abraham made a protest to Abimelech because of a water-hole which Abimelech's servants had taken by force.

bbe@Genesis:21:31 @So he gave that place the name Beer-sheba, because there the two of them had given their oaths.

bbe@Genesis:22:12 @And he said, Let not your hand be stretched out against the boy to do anything to him; for now I am certain that the fear of God is in your heart, because you have not kept back your son, your only son, from me.

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:22:16 @Saying, I have taken an oath by my name, says the Lord, because you have done this and have not kept back from me your dearly loved only son,

bbe@Genesis:22:18 @And your seed will be a blessing to all the nations of the earth, because you have done what I gave you orders to do.

bbe@Genesis:23:2 @And Sarah's death took place in Kiriath-arba, that is, Hebron, in the land of Canaan: and Abraham went into his house, weeping and sorrowing for Sarah.

bbe@Genesis:23:6 @My lord, truly you are a great chief among us; take the best of our resting-places for your dead; not one of us will keep back from you a place where you may put your dead to rest.

bbe@Genesis:24:7 @The Lord God of heaven, who took me from my father's house and from the land of my birth, and made an oath to me, saying, To your seed I will give this land: he will send his angel before you and give you a wife for my son in that land.

bbe@Genesis:24:23 @And said to her, Whose daughter are you? is there room in your father's house for us?

bbe@Genesis:24:27 @And said, Praise be to the Lord, the God of my master Abraham, who has given a sign that he is good and true to my master, by guiding me straight to the house of my master's family.

bbe@Genesis:24:28 @So the girl went running and took the news of these things to her mother's house

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:24:33 @And meat was put before him, but he said, I will not take food till I have made my business clear to you. And they said, Do so.

bbe@Genesis:24:38 @But go to my father's house and to my relations for a wife for my son.

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:24:50 @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:24:55 @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:24:60 @And they gave Rebekah their blessing, saying, O sister, may you be the mother of thousands and ten thousands; and may your seed overcome all those who make war against them.

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:25:3 @And Jokshan became the father of Sheba and Dedan. And from Dedan came the Asshurim and Letushim and Leummim.

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:25:28 @Now Isaac's love was for Esau, because Esau's meat was greatly to his taste: but Rebekah had more love for Jacob.

bbe@Genesis:26:5 @Because Abraham gave ear to my voice and kept my words, my rules, my orders, and my laws.

bbe@Genesis:26:7 @And when he was questioned by the men of the place about his wife, he said, She is my sister; fearing to say, She is my wife; for, he said, the men of the place may put me to death on account of Rebekah; because she is very beautiful.

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:26:16 @And Abimelech said to Isaac, Go away from us, for you are stronger than we are.

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:26:22 @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:26:28 @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:26:29 @That you will do us no damage, even as we put no hand on you, and did you nothing but good, and sent you away in peace: and now the blessing of the Lord is on you.

bbe@Genesis:26:35 @And Isaac and Rebekah had grief of mind because of them.

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:27:36 @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:27:41 @So Esau was full of hate for Jacob because of his father's blessing; and he said in his heart, The days of weeping for my father are near; then I will put my brother Jacob to death.

bbe@Genesis:27:46 @Then Rebekah said to Isaac, My life is a weariness to me because of the daughters of Heth: if Jacob takes a wife from among the daughters of Heth, such as these, the women of this land, of what use will my life be to me?

bbe@Genesis:28:2 @But go to Paddan-aram, to the house of Bethuel, your mother's father, and there get yourself a wife from the daughters of Laban, your mother's brother.

bbe@Genesis:28:14 @Your seed will be like the dust of the earth, covering all the land to the west and to the east, to the north and to the south: you and your seed will be a name of blessing to all the families of the earth.

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:28:17 @And fear came on him, and he said, This is a holy place; this is nothing less than the house of God and the doorway of heaven.

bbe@Genesis:28:21 @So that I come again to my father's house in peace, then I will take the Lord to be my God,

bbe@Genesis:28:22 @And this stone which I have put up for a pillar will be God's house: and of all you give me, I will give a tenth part to you.

bbe@Genesis:29:13 @And Laban, hearing news of Jacob, his sister's son, came running, and took Jacob in his arms, and kissing him, made him come into his house. And Jacob gave him news of everything.

bbe@Genesis:29:15 @Then Laban said to Jacob, Because you are my brother are you to be my servant for nothing? say now, what is your payment to be?

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:29:32 @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:30:1 @Now Rachel, because she had no children, was full of envy of her sister; and she said to Jacob, If you do not give me children I will not go on living.

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:30:18 @Then Leah said, God has made payment to me for giving my servant-girl to my husband: so she gave her son the name Issachar.

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:30:27 @And Laban said, If you will let me say so, do not go away; for I have seen by the signs that the Lord has been good to me because of you.

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

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:31:19 @Now Laban had gone to see to the cutting of the wool of his sheep; so Rachel secretly took the images of the gods of her father's house.

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:31:30 @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:31:37 @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:31:41 @These twenty years I have been in your house; I was your servant for fourteen years because of your daughters, and for six years I kept your flock, and ten times was my payment changed.

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

bbe@Genesis:31:49 @And Mizpah, for he said, May the Lord keep watch on us when we are unable to see one another's doings.

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:32:18 @Then say to him, These are your servant Jacob's; they are an offering for my lord, for Esau; and he himself is coming after us.

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

bbe@Genesis:32:32 @For this reason the children of Israel, even today, never take that muscle in the hollow of the leg as food, because the hollow of Jacob's leg was touched.

bbe@Genesis:33:12 @And he said, Let us go on our journey together, and I will go in front.

bbe@Genesis:33:17 @And Jacob went on to Succoth, where he made a house for himself and put up tents for his cattle: for this reason the place was named Succoth.

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:34:9 @And let our two peoples be joined together; give your daughters to us, and take our daughters for yourselves.

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:34:13 @But the sons of Jacob gave a false answer to Shechem and Hamor his father, because of what had been done to Dinah their sister.

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:34:27 @And the sons of Jacob came on them when they were wounded and made waste the town because of what had been done to their sister;

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:34:31 @But they said, Were we to let him make use of our sister as a loose woman?

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:36:5 @Oholibamah was the mother of Jeush, Jalam, and Korah; these are the sons of Esau, whose birth took place in the land of Canaan.

bbe@Genesis:36:6 @Esau took his wives and his sons and his daughters, and all the people of his house, and his beasts and his cattle and all his goods which he had got together in the land of Canaan, and went into the land of Seir, away from his brother Jacob.

bbe@Genesis:36:14 @And these are the sons of Esau's wife Oholibamah, the daughter of Anah, the daughter of Zibeon: she was the mother of Jeush, Jalam, and Korah.

bbe@Genesis:36:18 @And these are the sons of Esau's wife Oholibamah: Jeush, Jalam, and Korah: these were the chiefs who came from Esau's wife Oholibamah, daughter of Anah.

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:37:3 @Now the love which Israel had for Joseph was greater than his love for all his other children, because he got him when he was an old man: and he had a long coat made for him.

bbe@Genesis:37:4 @And because his brothers saw that Joseph was dearer to his father than all the others, they were full of hate for him, and would not say a kind word to him.

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:37:17 @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:37:20 @Let us now put him to death and put his body into one of these holes, and we will say, An evil beast has put him to death: then we will see what becomes of his dreams.

bbe@Genesis:37:21 @But Reuben, hearing these words, got him out of their hands, saying, Let us not take his life.

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:37:36 @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:38:15 @When Judah saw her he took her to be a loose woman of the town, because her face was covered.

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:39:4 @And having a high opinion of Joseph as his servant, he made him the overseer of his house and gave him control over all he had.

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:39:8 @But he would not, and said to her, You see that my master keeps no account of what I do in his house, and has put all his property in my control;

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:39:11 @Now one day he went into the house to do his work; and not one of the men of the house was inside.

bbe@Genesis:39:14 @She sent for the men of her house and said to them, See, he has let a Hebrew come here and make sport of us; he came to my bed, and I gave a loud cry;

bbe@Genesis:39:17 @Then she gave him the same story, saying, The Hebrew servant whom you have taken into our house came in to make sport of me;

bbe@Genesis:39:20 @And Joseph's master took him and put him in prison, in the place where the king's prisoners were kept in chains, and he was there in the prison-house.

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:40:1 @Now after these things the chief servant who had the care of the wine, and the chief bread-maker in Pharaoh's house, did something against Pharaoh's orders;

bbe@Genesis:40:8 @Then they said to him, We have had a dream, and no one is able to give us the sense. And Joseph said, Does not the sense of dreams come from God? what was your dream?

bbe@Genesis:40:11 @And Pharaoh's cup was in my hand, and I took the grapes and crushing them into Pharaoh's cup, gave the cup into Pharaoh's hand.

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:41:11 @And we had a dream on the same night, the two of us, and the dreams had a special sense.

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:41:31 @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:41:35 @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:41:40 @You, then, are to be over my house, and all my people will be ruled by your word: only as king will I be greater than you.

bbe@Genesis:41:51 @And to the first he gave the name Manasseh, for he said, God has taken away from me all memory of my hard life and of my father's house.

bbe@Genesis:41:56 @And everywhere on the earth they were short of food; then Joseph, opening all his store-houses, gave the people of Egypt grain for money; so great was the need of food in the land of Egypt.

bbe@Genesis:42:2 @And he said, I have had news that there is grain in Egypt: go down there and get grain for us, so that life and not death may be ours.

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:42:21 @And they said to one another, Truly, we did wrong to our brother, for we saw his grief of mind, and we did not give ear to his prayers; that is why this trouble has come on us.

bbe@Genesis:42:22 @And Reuben said to them, Did I not say to you, Do the child no wrong? but you gave no attention; so now, punishment has come on us for his blood.

bbe@Genesis:42:23 @They were not conscious that the sense of their words was clear to Joseph, for he had been talking to them through one who had knowledge of their language.

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: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:43:16 @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:43:17 @And the servant did as Joseph said, and took the men into Joseph's house.

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:43:19 @So they went up to Joseph's chief servant at the door of the house,

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:43:24 @And the servant took them into Joseph's house, and gave them water for washing their feet; and he gave their asses food.

bbe@Genesis:43:31 @Then, after washing his face, he came out, and controlling his feelings said, Put food before us.

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:44:1 @Then he gave orders to the servant who was over his house, saying, Put as much food into the men's bags as will go into them, and put every man's money in the mouth of his bag;

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:44:8 @See, the money which was in the mouth of our bags we gave back to you when we came again from Canaan: how then might we take silver or gold from your lord's house?

bbe@Genesis:44:14 @So Judah and his brothers came to Joseph's house; and he was still there: and they went down on their faces before him.

bbe@Genesis:44:18 @Then Judah came near him, and said, Let your servant say a word in my lord's ears, and let not your wrath be burning against your servant: for you are in the place of Pharaoh to us.

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:44:27 @And our father said to us, You have knowledge that my wife gave me two sons;

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: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:45:16 @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:46:23 @And the son of Dan was Hushim.

bbe@Genesis:46:33 @Now when Pharaoh sends for you and says, What is your business?

bbe@Genesis:46:34 @You are to say, Your servants have been keepers of cattle from our early days up to now, like our fathers; in this way you will be able to have the land of Goshen for yourselves; because keepers of sheep are unclean in the eyes of the Egyptians.

bbe@Genesis:47:3 @And Pharaoh said to them, What is your business? And they said, Your servants are keepers of sheep, as our fathers were before us.

bbe@Genesis:47:4 @And they said to Pharaoh, We have come to make a living in this land, because we have no grass for our flocks in the land of Canaan; so now let your servants make a place for themselves in the land of Goshen.

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:47:15 @And when all the money in Egypt and Canaan was gone, the Egyptians came to Joseph, and said, Give us bread; would you have us come to destruction before your eyes? for we have no more money.

bbe@Genesis:47:19 @Are we to come to destruction before your eyes, we and our land? take us and our land and give us bread; and we and our land will be servants to Pharaoh; and give us seed so that we may have life and the land may not become waste.

bbe@Genesis:47:20 @So Joseph got all the land in Egypt for Pharaoh; for every Egyptian gave up his land in exchange for food, because of their great need; so all the land became Pharaoh's.

bbe@Genesis:47:25 @And they said to him, Truly you have kept us from death; may we have grace in your eyes, and we will be Pharaoh's servants.

bbe@Genesis:48:10 @Now because Israel was old, his eyes were no longer clear, and he was not able to see. So he made them come near to him, and he gave them a kiss, folding them in his arms.

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: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:50:15 @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:50:16 @So they sent word to Joseph, saying, Your father, before his death, gave us orders, saying,

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:1:2 @Reuben, Simeon, Levi, and Judah;

bbe@Exodus:1:3 @Issachar, Zebulun, and Benjamin;

bbe@Exodus:1:4 @Dan and Naphtali, Gad and Asher.

bbe@Exodus:1:5 @All the offspring of Jacob were seventy persons: and Joseph had come to Egypt before them.

bbe@Exodus:1:6 @Then Joseph came to his end, and all his brothers, and all that generation.

bbe@Exodus:1:7 @And the children of Israel were fertile, increasing very greatly in numbers and in power; and the land was full of them.

bbe@Exodus:1:8 @Now a new king came to power in Egypt, who had no knowledge of Joseph.

bbe@Exodus:1:9 @And he said to his people, See, the people of Israel are greater in number and in power than we are:

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:1:12 @But the more cruel they were to them, the more their number increased, till all the land was full of them. And the children of Israel were hated by the Egyptians.

bbe@Exodus:1:13 @And they gave the children of Israel even harder work to do:

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:1:15 @And the king of Egypt said to the Hebrew women who gave help at the time of childbirth (the name of the one was Shiphrah and the name of the other Puah),

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:1:17 @But the women had the fear of God, and did not do as the king of Egypt said, but let the male children go on living.

bbe@Exodus:1:18 @And the king of Egypt sent for the women, and said to them, Why have you done this, and let the male children go on living?

bbe@Exodus:1:19 @And they said to Pharaoh, Because the Hebrew women are not like the Egyptian women, for they are strong, and the birth takes place before we come to them.

bbe@Exodus:1:20 @And the blessing of God was on these women: and the people were increased in number and became very strong.

bbe@Exodus:1:21 @And because the women who took care of the Hebrew mothers had the fear of God, he gave them families.

bbe@Exodus:1:22 @And Pharaoh gave orders to all his people, saying, Every son who comes to birth is to be put into the river, but every daughter may go on living.

bbe@Exodus:2:1 @Now a man of the house of Levi took as his wife a daughter of Levi.

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:2:4 @And his sister took her place at a distance to see what would become of him.

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:2:7 @Then his sister said to Pharaoh's daughter, May I go and get you one of the Hebrew women to give him the breast?

bbe@Exodus:2:8 @And Pharaoh's daughter said to her, Go. And the girl went and got the child's mother.

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:2:10 @And when the child was older, she took him to Pharaoh's daughter and he became her son, and she gave him the name Moses, Because, she said, I took him out of the water.

bbe@Exodus:2:11 @Now when Moses had become a man, one day he went out to his people and saw how hard their work was; and he saw an Egyptian giving blows to a Hebrew, one of his people.

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:2:13 @And he went out the day after and saw two of the Hebrews fighting: and he said to him who was in the wrong, Why are you fighting your brother?

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:2:15 @Now when Pharaoh had news of this, he would have put Moses to death. But Moses went in flight from Pharaoh into the land of Midian: and he took his seat by a water-spring.

bbe@Exodus:2:16 @Now the priest of Midian had seven daughters: and they came to get water for their father's flock.

bbe@Exodus:2:17 @And the keepers of the sheep came up and were driving them away; but Moses got up and came to their help, watering their flock for them.

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:2:20 @And he said to his daughters, Where is he? why have you let the man go? make him come in and give him a meal.

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:2:22 @And she gave birth to a son, to whom he gave the name Gershom: for he said, I have been living in a strange land.

bbe@Exodus:2:23 @Now after a long time the king of Egypt came to his end: and the children of Israel were crying in their grief under the weight of their work, and their cry for help came to the ears of God.

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:2:25 @And God's eyes were turned to the children of Israel and he gave them the knowledge of himself.

bbe@Exodus:3:1 @Now Moses was looking after the flock of Jethro, his father-in-law, the priest of Midian: and he took the flock to the back of the waste land and came to Horeb, the mountain of God.

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:3:3 @And Moses said, I will go and see this strange thing, why the tree is not burned up,

bbe@Exodus:3:4 @And when the Lord saw him turning to one side to see, God said his name out of the tree, crying, Moses, Moses. And he said, Here am I.

bbe@Exodus:3:5 @And he said, Do not come near: take off your shoes from your feet, for the place where you are is holy.

bbe@Exodus:3:6 @And he said, I am the God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob. And Moses kept his face covered for fear of looking on God.

bbe@Exodus:3:7 @And God said, Truly, I have seen the grief of my people in Egypt, and their cry because of their cruel masters has come to my ears; for I have knowledge of their sorrows;

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:3:9 @For now, truly, the cry of the children of Israel has come to me, and I have seen the cruel behaviour of the Egyptians to them.

bbe@Exodus:3:10 @Come, then, and I will send you to Pharaoh, so that you may take my people, the children of Israel, out of Egypt

bbe@Exodus:3:11 @And Moses said to God, Who am I to go to Pharaoh and take the children of Israel out of Egypt?

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:3:13 @And Moses said to God, When I come to the children of Israel and say to them, The God of your fathers has sent me to you: and they say to me, What is his name? what am I to say to them?

bbe@Exodus:3:14 @And God said to him, I AM WHAT I AM: and he said, Say to the children of Israel, I AM has sent me to you.

bbe@Exodus:3:15 @And God went on to say to Moses, Say to the children of Israel, The Lord, the God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, of Isaac, and of Jacob, has sent me to you: this is my name for ever, and this is my sign to all generations.

bbe@Exodus:3:16 @Go and get together the chiefs of the children of Israel, and say to them, The Lord, the God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, of Isaac, and of Jacob, has been seen by me, and has said, Truly I have taken up your cause, because of what is done to you in Egypt;

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:3:22 @For every woman will get from her neighbour and from the woman living in her house, ornaments of silver and gold, and clothing; and you will put them on your sons and your daughters; you will take the best of their goods from the Egyptians.

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:4:2 @And the Lord said to him, What is that in your hand? And he said, A rod.

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:4:5 @So that they may be certain that the Lord, the God of their fathers, the God of Abraham, of Isaac, and of Jacob, has been seen by you.

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:4:10 @And Moses said to the Lord, O Lord, I am not a man of words; I have never been so, and am not now, even after what you have said to your servant: for talking is hard for me, and I am slow of tongue

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:4:16 @And he will do the talking for you to the people: he will be to you as a mouth and you will be to him as God.

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

bbe@Exodus:4:18 @And Moses went back to Jethro, his father-in-law, and said to him, Let me go back now to my relations in Egypt and see if they are still living. And Jethro said to Moses, Go in peace.

bbe@Exodus:4:19 @And the Lord said to Moses in Midian, Go back to Egypt, for all the men are dead who were attempting to take your life.

bbe@Exodus:4:20 @And Moses took his wife and his sons and put them on an ass and went back to the land of Egypt: and he took the rod of God in his hand.

bbe@Exodus:4:21 @And the Lord said to Moses, When you go back to Egypt, see that you do before Pharaoh all the wonders which I have given you power to do: but I will make his heart hard and he will not let the people go.

bbe@Exodus:4:22 @And you are to say to Pharaoh, The Lord says, Israel is the first of my sons:

bbe@Exodus:4:23 @And I said to you, Let my son go, so that he may give me worship; and you did not let him go: so now I will put the first of your sons to death.

bbe@Exodus:4:24 @Now on the journey, at the night's resting-place, the Lord came in his way and would have put him to death.

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:4:26 @So he let him go. Then she said, You are a husband of blood because of the circumcision.

bbe@Exodus:4:27 @And the Lord said to Aaron, Go into the waste land and you will see Moses. So he went and came across Moses at the mountain of God, and gave him a kiss.

bbe@Exodus:4:28 @And Moses gave Aaron an account of all the words of the Lord which he had sent him to say, and of all the signs which he had given him orders to do.

bbe@Exodus:4:29 @Then Moses and Aaron went and got together all the chiefs of the children of Israel:

bbe@Exodus:4:30 @And Aaron said to them all the words the Lord had said to Moses, and did the signs before all the people.

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:5:1 @And after that, Moses and Aaron came to Pharaoh, and said, The Lord, the God of Israel, says, Let my people go so that they may keep a feast to me in the waste land.

bbe@Exodus:5:2 @And Pharaoh said, Who is the Lord, to whose voice I am to give ear and let Israel go? I have no knowledge of the Lord and I will not let Israel go.

bbe@Exodus:5:3 @And they said, 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, so that he may not send death on us by disease or the sword.

bbe@Exodus:5:4 @And the king of Egypt said to them, Why do you, Moses and Aaron, take the people away from their work? get back to your work.

bbe@Exodus:5:5 @And Pharaoh said, Truly, the people of the land are increasing in number, and you are keeping them back from their work.

bbe@Exodus:5:6 @The same day Pharaoh gave orders to the overseers and those who were responsible for the work, saying,

bbe@Exodus:5:7 @Give these men no more dry stems for their brick-making as you have been doing; let them go and get the material for themselves.

bbe@Exodus:5:8 @But see that they make the same number of bricks as before, and no less: for they have no love for work; and so they are crying out and saying, Let us go and make an offering to our God.

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:5:10 @And the overseers of the people and their responsible men went out and said to the people, Pharaoh says, I will give you no more dry stems.

bbe@Exodus:5:11 @Go yourselves and get dry stems wherever you are able; for your work is not to be any less.

bbe@Exodus:5:12 @So the people were sent in all directions through the land of Egypt to get dry grass for stems

bbe@Exodus:5:13 @And the overseers went on driving them and saying, Do your full day's work as before when there were dry stems for you.

bbe@Exodus:5:14 @And the responsible men of the children of Israel, whom Pharaoh's overseers had put over them, were given blows, and they said to them, Why have you not done your regular work, in making bricks as before?

bbe@Exodus:5:15 @Then the responsible men of the children of Israel came to Pharaoh, protesting and saying, Why are you acting in this way to your servants?

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:5:17 @But he said, You have no love for work: that is why you say, Let us go and make an offering to the Lord.

bbe@Exodus:5:18 @Go now, get back to your work; no dry stems will be given to you, but you are to make the full number of bricks.

bbe@Exodus:5:19 @Then the responsible men of the children of Israel saw that they were purposing evil when they said, The number of bricks which you have to make every day will be no less than before.

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:5:21 @And they said to them, May the Lord take note of you and be your judge; for you have given Pharaoh and his servants a bad opinion of us, putting a sword in their hands for our destruction.

bbe@Exodus:5:22 @And Moses went back to the Lord and said, Lord, why have you done evil to this people? why have you sent me?

bbe@Exodus:5:23 @For from the time when I came to Pharaoh to put your words before him, he has done evil to this people, and you have given them no help.

bbe@Exodus:6:1 @And the Lord said to Moses, Now you will see what I am about to do to Pharaoh; for by a strong hand he will be forced to let them go, driving them out of his land because of my outstretched arm.

bbe@Exodus:6:2 @And God said to Moses, I am Yahweh:

bbe@Exodus:6:3 @I let myself be seen by Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, as God, the Ruler of all; but they had no knowledge of my name Yahweh.

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:6:5 @And truly my ears are open to the cry of the children of Israel whom the Egyptians keep under their yoke; and I have kept in mind my agreement.

bbe@Exodus:6:6 @Say then to the children of Israel, I am Yahweh, and I will take you out from under the yoke of the Egyptians, and make you safe from their power, and will make you free by the strength of my arm after great punishments.

bbe@Exodus:6:7 @And I will take you to be my people and I will be your God; and you will be certain that I am the Lord your God, who takes you out from under the yoke of the Egyptians.

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:6:10 @And the Lord said to Moses,

bbe@Exodus:6:11 @Go in and say to Pharaoh, king of Egypt, that he is to let the children of Israel go out of his land.

bbe@Exodus:6:12 @And Moses, answering the Lord, said, See, the children of Israel will not give ear to me; how then will Pharaoh give ear to me, whose lips are unclean?

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:6:14 @These are the heads of their fathers' families: the sons of Reuben the oldest son of Israel: Hanoch and Pallu, Hezron and Carmi: these are the families of Reuben

bbe@Exodus:6:15 @And the sons of Simeon: Jemuel and Jamin and Ohad and Jachin and Zohar and Shaul, the son of a woman of Canaan: these are the families of Simeon.

bbe@Exodus:6:16 @And these are the names of the sons of Levi in the order of their generations: Gershon and Kohath and Merari: and the years of Levi's life were a hundred and thirty-seven.

bbe@Exodus:6:17 @The sons of Gershon: Libni and Shimei, in the order of their families.

bbe@Exodus:6:18 @And the sons of Kohath: Amram and Izhar and Hebron and Uzziel: and the years of Kohath's life were a hundred and thirty-three.

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:6:20 @And Amram took Jochebed, his father's sister, as wife; and she gave birth to Aaron and Moses: and the years of Amram's life were a hundred and thirty-seven.

bbe@Exodus:6:21 @And the sons of Izhar: Korah and Nepheg and Zichri.

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:6:26 @These are the same Aaron and Moses to whom the Lord said, Take the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt in their armies.

bbe@Exodus:6:27 @These are the men who gave orders to Pharaoh to let the children of Israel go out of Egypt: these are the same Moses and Aaron.

bbe@Exodus:6:28 @And on the day when the word of the Lord came to Moses in the land of Egypt,

bbe@Exodus:6:29 @The Lord said to Moses, I am the Lord: say to Pharaoh, king of Egypt, everything I am saying to you.

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:7:1 @And the Lord said to Moses, See I have made you a god to Pharaoh, and Aaron your brother will be your prophet.

bbe@Exodus:7:2 @Say whatever I give you orders to say: and Aaron your brother will give word to Pharaoh to let the children of Israel go out of his land.

bbe@Exodus:7:3 @And I will make Pharaoh's heart hard, and my signs and wonders will be increased in the land of Egypt.

bbe@Exodus:7:4 @But Pharaoh will not give ear to you, and I will put my hand on Egypt, and take my armies, my people, the children of Israel, out of Egypt, after great punishments.

bbe@Exodus:7:5 @And the Egyptians will see that I am the Lord, when my hand is stretched out over Egypt, and I take the children of Israel out from among them.

bbe@Exodus:7:6 @And Moses and Aaron did so: as the Lord gave them orders, so they did.

bbe@Exodus:7:7 @And Moses was eighty years old, and Aaron eighty-three years old, when they gave the Lord's word to Pharaoh.

bbe@Exodus:7:8 @And the Lord said to Moses and Aaron,

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:7:12 @For every one of them put down his rod on the earth, and they became snakes: but Aaron's rod made a meal of their rods.

bbe@Exodus:7:13 @But Pharaoh's heart was made hard, and he did not give ear to them, as the Lord had said.

bbe@Exodus:7:14 @And the Lord said to Moses and Aaron, Pharaoh's heart is unchanged; he will not let the people go.

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:7:16 @And say to him, The Lord, the God of the Hebrews, has sent me to you, saying, Let my people go so that they may give me worship in the waste land; but up to now you have not given ear to his words

bbe@Exodus:7:17 @So the Lord says, By this you may be certain that I am the Lord; see, by the touch of this rod in my hand the waters of the Nile will be turned to blood;

bbe@Exodus:7:18 @And the fish in the Nile will come to destruction, and the river will send up a bad smell, and the Egyptians will not be able, for disgust, to make use of the water of the Nile for drinking.

bbe@Exodus:7:19 @And the Lord said, Say to Aaron, Let the rod in your hand be stretched out over the waters of Egypt, and over the rivers and the streams and the pools, and over every stretch of water, so that they may be turned to blood; and there will be blood through all the land of Egypt, in vessels of wood and in vessels of stone.

bbe@Exodus:7:20 @And Moses and Aaron did as the Lord had said; and when his rod had been lifted up and stretched out over the waters of the Nile before the eyes of Pharaoh and his servants, all the water in the Nile was turned to blood;

bbe@Exodus:7:21 @And the fish in the Nile came to destruction, and a bad smell went up from the river, and the Egyptians were not able to make use of the water of the Nile for drinking; and there was blood through all the land of Egypt.

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:7:23 @Then Pharaoh went into his house, and did not take even this to heart.

bbe@Exodus:7:24 @And all the Egyptians made holes round about the Nile to get drinking-water, for they were not able to make use of the Nile water.

bbe@Exodus:7:25 @And seven days went past, after the Lord had put his hand on the Nile.

bbe@Exodus:8:1 @And this is what the Lord said to Moses: Go to Pharaoh and say to him, The Lord says, Let my people go so that they may give me worship.

bbe@Exodus:8:2 @And if you will not let them go, see, I will send frogs into every part of your land:

bbe@Exodus:8:3 @The Nile will be full of frogs, and they will come up into your house and into your bedrooms and on your bed, and into the houses of your servants and your people, and into your ovens and into your bread-basins.

bbe@Exodus:8:4 @The frogs will come up over you and your people and all your servants.

bbe@Exodus:8:5 @And the Lord said to Moses, Say to Aaron, Let the rod in your hand be stretched out over the streams and the waterways and the pools, causing frogs to come up on the land of Egypt.

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:8:8 @Then Pharaoh sent for Moses and Aaron and said, Make prayer to the Lord that he will take away these frogs from me and my people; and I will let the people go and make their offering to the Lord.

bbe@Exodus:8:9 @And Moses said, I will let you have the honour of saying when I am to make prayer for you and your servants and your people, that the frogs may be sent away from you and your houses, and be only in the Nile.

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:8:11 @And the frogs will be gone from you and from your houses and from your servants and from your people and will be only in the Nile.

bbe@Exodus:8:12 @Then Moses and Aaron went out from Pharaoh; and Moses made prayer to the Lord about the frogs which he had sent on Pharaoh.

bbe@Exodus:8:13 @And the Lord did as Moses said; and there was an end of all the frogs in the houses and in the open spaces and in the fields.

bbe@Exodus:8:14 @And they put them together in masses, and a bad smell went up from the land.

bbe@Exodus:8:15 @But when Pharaoh saw that there was peace for a time, he made his heart hard and did not give ear to them, as the Lord had said.

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:8:17 @And they did so; and Aaron, stretching out the rod in his hand, gave a touch to the dust of the earth, and insects came on man and on beast; all the dust of the earth was changed into 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:8:19 @Then the wonder-workers said to Pharaoh, This is the finger of God: but Pharaoh's heart was hard, and he did not give ear to them, as the Lord had said.

bbe@Exodus:8:20 @And the Lord said to Moses, Get up early in the morning and take your place before Pharaoh when he comes out to the water; and say to him, This is what the Lord says: Let my people go to give me worship.

bbe@Exodus:8:21 @For if you do not let my people go, see, I will send clouds of flies on you and on your servants and on your people and into their houses; and the houses of the Egyptians and the land where they are will be full of flies.

bbe@Exodus:8:22 @And at that time I will make a division between your land and the land of Goshen where my people are, and no flies will be there; so that you may see that I am the Lord over all the earth.

bbe@Exodus:8:23 @And I will put a division between my people and your people; tomorrow this sign will be seen.

bbe@Exodus:8:24 @And the Lord did so; and great clouds of flies came into the house of Pharaoh and into his servants' houses, and all the land of Egypt was made waste because of the flies.

bbe@Exodus:8:25 @And Pharaoh sent for Moses and Aaron and said, Go and make your offering to your God here in the land.

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:8:27 @But we will go three days' journey into the waste land and make an offering to the Lord our God as he may give us orders.

bbe@Exodus:8:28 @Then Pharaoh said, I will let you go to make an offering to the Lord your God in the waste land; but do not go very far away, and make prayer for me.

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:8:30 @Then Moses went out from Pharaoh and made prayer to the Lord.

bbe@Exodus:8:31 @And the Lord did as Moses said, and took away the cloud of flies from Pharaoh and from his servants and from his people; not one was to be seen.

bbe@Exodus:8:32 @But again Pharaoh made his heart hard and did not let the people go.

bbe@Exodus:9:1 @Then the Lord said to Moses, Go in to Pharaoh and say to him, This is what the Lord, the God of the Hebrews, says: Let my people go so that they may give me worship.

bbe@Exodus:9:2 @For if you will not let them go, but still keep them in your power,

bbe@Exodus:9:3 @Then the hand of the Lord will put on your cattle in the field, on the horses and the asses and the camels, on the herds and the flocks, a very evil disease.

bbe@Exodus:9:4 @And the Lord will make a division between the cattle of Israel and the cattle of Egypt; there will be no loss of any of the cattle of Israel.

bbe@Exodus:9:5 @And the time was fixed by the Lord, and he said, Tomorrow the Lord will do this thing in the land.

bbe@Exodus:9:6 @And on the day after, the Lord did as he had said, causing the death of all the cattle of Egypt, but there was no loss of any of the cattle of Israel.

bbe@Exodus:9:7 @And Pharaoh sent and got word that there was no loss of any of the cattle of Israel. But the heart of Pharaoh was hard and he did not let the people go.

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:9:11 @And the wonder-workers were not able to take their places before Moses, because of the disease; for the disease was on the wonder-workers and on all the Egyptians.

bbe@Exodus:9:12 @And the Lord made Pharaoh's heart hard, and he would not give ear to them, as the Lord had said.

bbe@Exodus:9:13 @And the Lord said to Moses, Get up early in the morning and take your place before Pharaoh, and say to him, This is what the Lord, the God of the Hebrews, says: Let my people go so that they may give me worship.

bbe@Exodus:9:14 @For this time I will send all my punishments on yourself and on your servants and on your people; so that you may see that there is no other like me in all the earth.

bbe@Exodus:9:15 @For if I had put the full weight of my hand on you and your people, you would have been cut off from the earth:

bbe@Exodus:9:16 @But, for this very reason, I have kept you from destruction, to make clear to you my power, and so that my name may be honoured through all the earth.

bbe@Exodus:9:17 @Are you still uplifted in pride against my people so that you will not let them go?

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:9:20 @Then everyone among the servants of Pharaoh who had the fear of the Lord, made his servants and his cattle come quickly into the house:

bbe@Exodus:9:21 @And he who gave no attention to the word of the Lord, kept his servants and his cattle in the field.

bbe@Exodus:9:22 @And the Lord said to Moses, Now let your hand be stretched out to heaven so that there may be an ice-storm on all the land of Egypt, on man and on beast and on every plant of the field through all the land of Egypt.

bbe@Exodus:9:23 @And Moses put out his rod to heaven: and the Lord sent thunder, and an ice-storm, and fire running down on the earth; the Lord sent an ice-storm on the land of Egypt.

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:9:25 @And through all the land of Egypt the ice-storm came down on everything which was in the fields, on man and on beast; and every green plant was crushed and every tree of the field broken.

bbe@Exodus:9:26 @Only in the land of Goshen, where the children of Israel were, there was no ice-storm.

bbe@Exodus:9:27 @Then Pharaoh sent for Moses and Aaron, and said to them, I have done evil this time: the Lord is upright, and I and my people are sinners.

bbe@Exodus:9:28 @Make prayer to the Lord; for there has been enough of these thunderings of God and this ice-storm; and I will let you go and will keep you no longer.

bbe@Exodus:9:29 @And Moses said, When I am gone outside the town, my hands will be stretched out to the Lord; the thunders and the ice-storm will come to an end, so that you may see that the earth is the Lord's.

bbe@Exodus:9:30 @But as for you and your servants, I am certain that even now the fear of the Lord God will not be in your hearts.

bbe@Exodus:9:31 @And the flax and the barley were damaged, for the barley was almost ready to be cut and the flax was in flower.

bbe@Exodus:9:32 @But the rest of the grain-plants were undamaged, for they had not come up.

bbe@Exodus:9:33 @So Moses went out of the town, and stretching out his hands made prayer to God: and the thunders and the ice-storm came to an end; and the fall of rain was stopped.

bbe@Exodus:9:34 @But when Pharaoh saw that the rain and the ice-storm and the thunders were ended, he went on sinning, and made his heart hard, he and his servants.

bbe@Exodus:9:35 @And the heart of Pharaoh was hard, and he did not let the people go, as the Lord had said by the mouth of Moses.

bbe@Exodus:10:1 @And the Lord said to Moses, Go in to Pharaoh: for I have made his heart and the hearts of his servants hard, so that I may let my signs be seen among them:

bbe@Exodus:10:2 @And so that you may be able to give to your son and to your son's son the story of my wonders in Egypt, and the signs which I have done among them; so that you may see that I am the Lord.

bbe@Exodus:10:3 @Then Moses and Aaron went in to Pharaoh, and said to him, This is what the Lord, the God of the Hebrews, says: How long will you be lifted up in your pride before me? let my people go so that they may give me worship.

bbe@Exodus:10:4 @For if you will not let my people go, tomorrow I will send locusts into your land:

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:10:7 @And Pharaoh's servants said to him, How long is this man to be the cause of evil to us? let the men go so that they may give worship to the Lord their God: are you not awake to Egypt's danger?

bbe@Exodus:10:8 @Then Moses and Aaron came in again before Pharaoh: and he said to them, Go and give worship to the Lord your God: but which of you are going?

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:10:11 @Not so; but let your males go and give worship to the Lord, as your desire is. This he said, driving them out from before him.

bbe@Exodus:10:12 @And the Lord said to Moses, Let your hand be stretched out over the land of Egypt so that the locusts may come up on the land for the destruction of every green plant in the land, even everything untouched by the ice-storm.

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:10:14 @And the locusts went up over all the land of Egypt, resting on every part of the land, in very great numbers; such an army of locusts had never been seen before, and never will be again.

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:10:16 @Then Pharaoh quickly sent for Moses and Aaron, and said, I have done evil against the Lord your God and against you.

bbe@Exodus:10:17 @Let me now have forgiveness for my sin this time only, and make prayer to the Lord your God that he will take away from me this death only.

bbe@Exodus:10:18 @So he went out from Pharaoh and made prayer to the Lord.

bbe@Exodus:10:19 @And the Lord sent a very strong west wind, which took up the locusts, driving them into the Red Sea; not one locust was to be seen in any part of Egypt.

bbe@Exodus:10:20 @But the Lord made Pharaoh's heart hard, and he did not let the children of Israel go.

bbe@Exodus:10:21 @And the Lord said to Moses, Let your hand be stretched out to heaven, and all the land of Egypt will be dark, so that men will be feeling their way about in the dark.

bbe@Exodus:10:22 @And when Moses' hand was stretched out, dark night came over all the land of Egypt for three days;

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:10:25 @But Moses said, You will have to let us take burned offerings to put before the Lord our God.

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:10:27 @But the Lord made Pharaoh's heart hard, and he would not let them go.

bbe@Exodus:10:28 @And Pharaoh said to him, Go away from me, take care that you come not again before me; for the day when you see my face again will be your last.

bbe@Exodus:10:29 @And Moses said, You say truly; I will not see your face again.

bbe@Exodus:11:1 @And the Lord said to Moses, I will send one more punishment on Pharaoh and on Egypt; after that he will let you go; and when he does let you go, he will not keep one of you back, but will send you out by force.

bbe@Exodus:11:2 @So go now and give orders to the people that every man and every woman is to get from his or her neighbour ornaments of silver and of gold.

bbe@Exodus:11:3 @And the Lord gave the people grace in the eyes of the Egyptians. For the man Moses was highly honoured in the land of Egypt, by Pharaoh's servants and the people.

bbe@Exodus:11:4 @And Moses said, This is what the Lord says: About the middle of the night I will go out through Egypt:

bbe@Exodus:11:5 @And death will come to every mother's first male child in all the land of Egypt, from the child of Pharaoh on his seat of power, to the child of the servant-girl crushing the grain; and the first births of all the cattle.

bbe@Exodus:11:6 @And there will be a great cry through all the land of Egypt, such as never has been or will be again.

bbe@Exodus:11:7 @But against the children of Israel, man or beast, not so much as the tongue of a dog will be moved: so that you may see how the Lord makes a division between Israel and the Egyptians.

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:11:9 @And the Lord said to Moses, Pharaoh will not give ear to you, so that my wonders may be increased in the land of Egypt.

bbe@Exodus:11:10 @All these wonders Moses and Aaron did before Pharaoh: but the Lord made Pharaoh's heart hard, and he did not let the children of Israel go out of his land.

bbe@Exodus:12:1 @And the Lord said to Moses and Aaron in the land of Egypt,

bbe@Exodus:12:2 @Let this month be to you the first of months, the first month of the year.

bbe@Exodus:12:3 @Say to all the children of Israel when they are come together, In the tenth day of this month every man is to take a lamb, by the number of their fathers' families, a lamb for every family:

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:12:12 @For on that night I will go through the land of Egypt, sending death on every first male child, of man and of beast, and judging all the gods of Egypt: I am the Lord.

bbe@Exodus:12:13 @And the blood will be a sign on the houses where you are: when I see the blood I will go over you, and no evil will come on you for your destruction, when my hand is on the land of Egypt

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:12:16 @And on the first day there is to be a holy meeting and on the seventh day a holy meeting; no sort of work may be done on those days but only to make ready what is necessary for everyone's food.

bbe@Exodus:12:17 @So keep the feast of unleavened bread; for on this very day I have taken your armies out of the land of Egypt: this day, then, is to be kept through all your generations by an order for ever.

bbe@Exodus:12:18 @In the first month, from the evening of the fourteenth day, let your food be unleavened bread till the evening of the twenty-first day of the month.

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:12:21 @Then Moses sent for the chiefs of Israel, and said to them, See that lambs are marked out for yourselves and your families, and let the Passover lamb be put to death.

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:12:23 @For the Lord will go through the land, sending death on the Egyptians; and when he sees the blood on the two sides and the top of the door, the Lord will go over your door and will not let death come in for your destruction.

bbe@Exodus:12:24 @And you are to keep this as an order to you and to your sons for ever.

bbe@Exodus:12:25 @And when you come into the land which the Lord will make yours, as he gave his word, you are to keep this act of worship.

bbe@Exodus:12:26 @And when your children say to you, What is the reason of this act of worship?

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:12:28 @And the children of Israel went and did so; as the Lord had given orders to Moses and Aaron, so they did.

bbe@Exodus:12:29 @And in the middle of the night the Lord sent death on every first male child in the land of Egypt, from the child of Pharaoh on his seat of power to the child of the prisoner in the prison; and the first births of all the cattle.

bbe@Exodus:12:30 @Then Pharaoh got up in the night, he and all his servants and all the Egyptians; and a great cry went up from Egypt; for there was not a house where someone was not dead.

bbe@Exodus:12:31 @And he sent for Moses and Aaron by night, and said, Get up and go out from among my people, you and the children of Israel; go and give worship to the Lord as you have said.

bbe@Exodus:12:32 @And take your flocks and your herds as you have said, and be gone; and give me your blessing.

bbe@Exodus:12:33 @And the Egyptians were forcing the people on, to get them out of the land quickly; for they said, We are all dead men.

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:12:35 @And the children of Israel had done as Moses had said; and they got from the Egyptians ornaments of silver and of gold, and clothing:

bbe@Exodus:12:36 @And the Lord had given the people grace in the eyes of the Egyptians so that they gave them whatever was requested. So they took away all their goods from the Egyptians.

bbe@Exodus:12:37 @And the children of Israel made the journey from Rameses to Succoth; there were about six hundred thousand men on foot, as well as children.

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:12:40 @Now the children of Israel had been living in Egypt for four hundred and thirty years.

bbe@Exodus:12:41 @And at the end of four hundred and thirty years, to the very day, all the armies of the Lord went out of the land of Egypt.

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:12:47 @All Israel is to keep the feast.

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:12:50 @So the children of Israel did as the Lord gave orders to Moses and Aaron.

bbe@Exodus:12:51 @And on that very day the Lord took the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt by their armies.

bbe@Exodus:13:1 @And the Lord said to Moses,

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:13:3 @And Moses said to the people, Let this day, on which you came out of Egypt, out of your prison-house, be kept for ever in memory; for by the strength of his hand the Lord has taken you out from this place; let no leavened bread be used.

bbe@Exodus:13:4 @On this day, in the month Abib, you are going out.

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:13:6 @For seven days let your food be unleavened cakes; and on the seventh day there is to be a feast to the Lord.

bbe@Exodus:13:7 @Unleavened cakes are to be your food through all the seven days; let no leavened bread be seen among you, or any leaven, in any part of your land.

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:13:10 @So let this order be kept, at the right time, from year to year.

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:13:14 @And when your son says to you in time to come, What is the reason for this? say to him, By the strength of his hand the Lord took us out of Egypt, out of the prison-house:

bbe@Exodus:13:15 @And when Pharaoh made his heart hard and would not let us go, the Lord sent death on all the first sons in Egypt, of man and of beast: and so every first male who comes to birth is offered to the Lord; but for all the first of my sons I give a price

bbe@Exodus:13:16 @And this will be for a sign on your hand and for a mark on your brow: for by the strength of his hand the Lord took us out of Egypt.

bbe@Exodus:13:17 @Now after Pharaoh had let the people go, God did not take them through the land of the Philistines, though that was near: for God said, If the people see war, they may have a change of heart and go back to Egypt.

bbe@Exodus:13:18 @But God took the people round by the waste land near the Red Sea: and the children of Israel went up in fighting order out of the land of Egypt.

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:13:20 @Then they went on their journey from Succoth, and put up their tents in Etham at the edge of the waste land.

bbe@Exodus:13:21 @And the Lord went before them by day in a pillar of cloud, guiding them on their way; and by night in a pillar of fire to give them light: so that they were able to go on day and night:

bbe@Exodus:13:22 @The pillar of cloud went ever before them by day, and the pillar of fire by night.

bbe@Exodus:14:1 @And the Lord said to Moses,

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:14:4 @And I will make Pharaoh's heart hard, and he will come after them and I will be honoured over Pharaoh and all his army, so that the Egyptians may see that I am the Lord. And they did so.

bbe@Exodus:14:5 @And word came to Pharaoh of the flight of the people: and the feeling of Pharaoh and of his servants about the people was changed, and they said, Why have we let Israel go, so that they will do no more work for us?

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

bbe@Exodus:14:7 @And he took six hundred carriages, all the carriages of Egypt, and captains over all of them.

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:14:9 @But the Egyptians went after them, all the horses and carriages of Pharaoh, and his horsemen, and his army, and overtook them in their tents by the sea, by Pihahiroth, before Baal-zephon.

bbe@Exodus:14:10 @And when Pharaoh came near, the children of Israel, lifting up their eyes, saw the Egyptians coming after them, and were full of fear; and their cry went up to God.

bbe@Exodus:14:11 @And they said to Moses, Was there no resting-place for the dead in Egypt, that you have taken us away to come to our death in the waste land? why have you taken us out of Egypt?

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:14:13 @But Moses said, Keep where you are and have no fear; now you will see the salvation of the Lord which he will give you today; for the Egyptians whom you see today you will never see again.

bbe@Exodus:14:14 @The Lord will make war for you, you have only to keep quiet.

bbe@Exodus:14:15 @And the Lord said to Moses, Why are you crying out to me? give the children of Israel the order to go forward.

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:14:17 @And I will make the heart of the Egyptians hard, and they will go in after them: and I will be honoured over Pharaoh and over his army, his war-carriages, and his horsemen

bbe@Exodus:14:18 @And the Egyptians will see that I am the Lord, when I get honour over Pharaoh and his war-carriages and his horsemen.

bbe@Exodus:14:19 @Then the angel of God, who had been before the tents of Israel, took his place at their back; and the pillar of cloud, moving from before them, came to rest at their back:

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:14:22 @And the children of Israel went through the sea on dry land: and the waters were a wall on their right side and on their left.

bbe@Exodus:14:23 @Then the Egyptians went after them into the middle of the sea, all Pharaoh's horses and his war-carriages and his horsemen.

bbe@Exodus:14:24 @And in the morning watch, the Lord, looking out on the armies of the Egyptians from the pillar of fire and cloud, sent trouble on the army of the Egyptians;

bbe@Exodus:14:25 @And made the wheels of their war-carriages stiff, so that they had hard work driving them: so the Egyptians said, Let us go in flight from before the face of Israel, for the Lord is fighting for them against the Egyptians.

bbe@Exodus:14:26 @And the Lord said to Moses, Let your hand be stretched out over the sea, and the waters will come back again on the Egyptians, and on their war-carriages and on their horsemen.

bbe@Exodus:14:27 @And when Moses' hand was stretched out over the sea, at dawn the sea came flowing back, meeting the Egyptians in their flight, and the Lord sent destruction on the Egyptians in the middle of the sea.

bbe@Exodus:14:28 @And the waters came back, covering the war-carriages and the horsemen and all the army of Pharaoh which went after them into the middle of the sea; not one of them was to be seen.

bbe@Exodus:14:29 @But the children of Israel went through the sea walking on dry land, and the waters were a wall on their right side and on their left.

bbe@Exodus:14:30 @So that day the Lord gave Israel salvation from the hands of the Egyptians; and Israel saw the Egyptians dead on the sea's edge.

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:15:1 @Then Moses and the children of Israel made this song to the Lord, and said, I will make a song to the Lord, for he is lifted up in glory: the horse and the horseman he has sent down into the sea.

bbe@Exodus:15:2 @The Lord is my strength and my strong helper, he has become my salvation: he is my God and I will give him praise; my father's God and I will give him glory.

bbe@Exodus:15:3 @The Lord is a man of war: the Lord is his name.

bbe@Exodus:15:4 @Pharaoh's war-carriages and his army he has sent down into the sea: the best of his captains have gone down into the Red Sea.

bbe@Exodus:15:5 @They were covered by the deep waters: like a stone they went down under the waves.

bbe@Exodus:15:6 @Full of glory, O Lord, is the power of your right hand; by your right hand those who came against you are broken.

bbe@Exodus:15:7 @When you are lifted up in power, all those who come against you are crushed: when you send out your wrath, they are burned up like dry grass.

bbe@Exodus:15:8 @By your breath the waves were massed together, the flowing waters were lifted up like a pillar; the deep waters became solid in the heart of the sea.

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:15:10 @You sent your wind and the sea came over them: they went down like lead into the great waters.

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:15:12 @When your right hand was stretched out, the mouth of the earth was open for them.

bbe@Exodus:15:13 @In your mercy you went before the people whom you have made yours; guiding them in your strength to your holy place.

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

bbe@Exodus:15:15 @The chiefs of Edom were troubled in heart; the strong men of Moab were in the grip of fear: all the people of Canaan became like water.

bbe@Exodus:15:16 @Fear and grief came on them; by the strength of your arm they were turned to stone; till your people went over, O Lord, till the people went over whom you have made yours.

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:15:18 @The Lord is King for ever and ever.

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:15:21 @And Miriam, answering, said, Make a song to the Lord, for he is lifted up in glory; the horse and the horseman he has sent into the sea.

bbe@Exodus:15:22 @Then Moses took Israel forward from the Red Sea, and they went out into the waste land of Shur; and for three days they were in the waste land where there was no water.

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:15:24 @And the people, crying out against Moses, said, What are we to have for drink?

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:15:27 @And they came to Elim where there were twelve water-springs and seventy palm-trees: and they put up their tents there by the waters.

bbe@Exodus:16:1 @And they went on their way from Elim, and all the children of Israel came into the waste land of Sin, which is between Elim and Sinai, on the fifteenth day of the second month after they went out of the land of Egypt.

bbe@Exodus:16:2 @And all the children of Israel were crying out against Moses and Aaron in the waste land:

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:16:4 @Then the Lord said to Moses, See, I will send down bread from heaven for you; and the people will go out every day and get enough for the day's needs; so that I may put them to the test to see if they will keep my laws or not.

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:16:7 @And in the morning you will see the glory of the Lord; for your angry words against the Lord have come to his ears: and what are we that you are crying out against us?

bbe@Exodus:16:8 @And Moses said, The Lord will give you meat for your food at evening, and in the morning bread in full measure; for your outcry against the Lord has come to his ears: for what are we? your outcry is not against us but against the Lord.

bbe@Exodus:16:9 @And Moses said to Aaron, Say to all the people of Israel, Come near before the Lord for he has given ear to your outcry.

bbe@Exodus:16:10 @And while Aaron was talking to the children of Israel, their eyes were turned in the direction of the waste land, and they saw the glory of the Lord shining in the cloud.

bbe@Exodus:16:11 @And the Lord said to Moses,

bbe@Exodus:16:12 @The outcry of the children of Israel has come to my ears: say to them now, At nightfall you will have meat for your food, and in the morning bread in full measure; and you will see that I am the Lord your God.

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:16:14 @And when the dew was gone, on the face of the earth was a small round thing, like small drops of ice on the earth.

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:16:16 @This is what the Lord has said, Let every man take up as much as he has need of; at the rate of one omer for every person, let every man take as much as is needed for his family.

bbe@Exodus:16:17 @And the children of Israel did so, and some took more and some less.

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:16:19 @And Moses said to them, Let nothing be kept till the morning.

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:16:23 @And he said, This is what the Lord has said, Tomorrow is a day of rest, a holy Sabbath to the Lord: what has to be cooked may be cooked; and what is over, put on one side to be kept till the morning.

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:16:25 @And Moses said, Make your meal today of what you have, for this day is a Sabbath to the Lord: today you will not get any in the fields.

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:16:28 @And the Lord said to Moses, How long will you go against my orders and my laws?

bbe@Exodus:16:29 @See, because the Lord has given you the Sabbath, he gives you on the sixth day bread enough for two days; let every man keep where he is; let no man go out of his place on the seventh day.

bbe@Exodus:16:30 @So the people took their rest on the seventh day.

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:16:36 @Now an omer is the tenth part of an ephah.

bbe@Exodus:17:1 @And the children of Israel went on from the waste land of Sin, by stages as the Lord gave them orders, and put up their tents in Rephidim: and there was no drinking-water for the people.

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:17:3 @And the people were in great need of water; and they made an outcry against Moses, and said, Why have you taken us out of Egypt to send death on us and our children and our cattle through need of water?

bbe@Exodus:17:4 @And Moses, crying out to the Lord, said, What am I to do to this people? they are almost ready to put me to death by stoning.

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:17:8 @Then Amalek came and made war on Israel in Rephidim.

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:17:11 @Now while Moses' hand was lifted up, Israel was the stronger: but when he let his hand go down, Amalek became the stronger.

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:18:1 @Now news came to Jethro, the priest of Midian, Moses' father-in-law, of all God had done for Moses and for Israel his people, and how the Lord had taken Israel out of Egypt.

bbe@Exodus:18:2 @And Jethro, Moses' father-in-law, took Zipporah, Moses' wife, after he had sent her away,

bbe@Exodus:18:3 @And her two sons, one of whom was named Gershom, for he said, I have been living in a strange land:

bbe@Exodus:18:4 @And the name of the other was Eliezer, for he said, The God of my father was my help, and kept me safe from the sword of Pharaoh:

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:18:7 @And Moses went out to his father-in-law, and went down on his face before him and gave him a kiss; and they said to one another, Are you well? and they came into the tent.

bbe@Exodus:18:8 @And Moses gave his father-in-law an account of all the Lord had done to Pharaoh and to the Egyptians because of Israel, and of all the troubles which had come on them by the way, and how the Lord had given them salvation.

bbe@Exodus:18:9 @And Jethro was glad because the Lord had been good to Israel, freeing them from the power of the Egyptians.

bbe@Exodus:18:10 @And Jethro said, Praise be to the Lord, who has taken you out of the hand of Pharaoh and out of the hand of the Egyptians; freeing the people from the yoke of the Egyptians

bbe@Exodus:18:11 @Now I am certain that the Lord is greater than all gods, for he has overcome them in their pride.

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:18:15 @And Moses said to his father-in-law, Because the people come to me to get directions from God:

bbe@Exodus:18:16 @And if they have any question between themselves, they come to me, and I am judge between a man and his neighbour, and I give them the orders and laws of God.

bbe@Exodus:18:17 @And Moses' father-in-law said to him, What you are doing is not good.

bbe@Exodus:18:18 @Your strength and that of the people will be completely used up: this work is more than you are able to do by yourself.

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:18:20 @Teaching them his rules and his laws, guiding them in the way they have to go, and making clear to them the work they have to do.

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:18:24 @So Moses took note of the words of his father-in-law, and did as he had said.

bbe@Exodus:18:25 @And he made selection of able men out of all Israel, and made them heads over the people, captains of thousands, captains of hundreds and of fifties and of tens.

bbe@Exodus:18:26 @And they were judges in the causes of the people at all times: the hard questions they put before Moses; but on every small point they gave decisions themselves.

bbe@Exodus:18:27 @And Moses let his father-in-law go away, and he went back to his land.

bbe@Exodus:19:1 @In the third month after the children of Israel went out from Egypt, on the same day, they came into the waste land of Sinai.

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:19:3 @And Moses went up to God, and the voice of the Lord came to him from the mountain, saying, Say to the family of Jacob, and give word to the children of Israel:

bbe@Exodus:19:4 @You have seen what I did to the Egyptians, and how I took you, as on eagles' wings, guiding you to myself.

bbe@Exodus:19:5 @If now you will truly give ear to my voice and keep my agreement, you will be my special property out of all the peoples: for all the earth is mine:

bbe@Exodus:19:6 @And you will be a kingdom of priests to me, and a holy nation. These are the words which you are to say to the children of Israel.

bbe@Exodus:19:7 @And Moses came and sent for the chiefs of the people and put before them all these words which the Lord had given him orders to say.

bbe@Exodus:19:8 @And all the people, answering together, said, Whatever the Lord has said we will do. And Moses took back to the Lord the words of the people.

bbe@Exodus:19:9 @And the Lord said to Moses, See, I will come to you in a thick cloud, so that what I say to you may come to the ears of the people and they may have belief in you for ever. And Moses gave the Lord word of what the people had said.

bbe@Exodus:19:10 @And the Lord said to Moses, Go to the people and make them holy today and tomorrow, and let their clothing be washed

bbe@Exodus:19:11 @And by the third day let them be ready: for on the third day the Lord will come down on Mount Sinai, before the eyes of all the people.

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:19:13 @He is not to be touched by a hand, but is to be stoned or have an arrow put through him; man or beast, he is to be put to death: at the long sounding of a horn they may come up to the mountain.

bbe@Exodus:19:14 @Then Moses went down from the mountain to the people, and made the people holy; and their clothing was washed.

bbe@Exodus:19:15 @And he said to the people, Be ready by the third day: do not come near a woman.

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:19:17 @And Moses made the people come out of their tents and take their places before God; and they came to the foot of the mountain,

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:19:19 @And when the sound of the horn became louder and louder, Moses' words were answered by the voice of God.

bbe@Exodus:19:20 @Then the Lord came down on to Mount Sinai, to the top of the mountain, and the Lord sent for Moses to come up to the top of the mountain, and Moses went up.

bbe@Exodus:19:21 @And the Lord said to Moses, Go down and give the people orders to keep back, for fear that a great number of them, forcing their way through to see the Lord, may come to destruction.

bbe@Exodus:19:22 @And let the priests who come near to the Lord make themselves holy, for fear that the Lord may come on them suddenly.

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:19:24 @And the Lord said to him, Go down, and you and Aaron may come up; but let not the priests and the people make their way through to the Lord, or he will come on them suddenly.

bbe@Exodus:19:25 @So Moses went down to the people and said this to them.

bbe@Exodus:20:1 @And God said all these words:

bbe@Exodus:20:2 @I am the Lord your God who took you out of the land of Egypt, out of the prison-house.

bbe@Exodus:20:3 @You are to have no other gods but me.

bbe@Exodus:20:4 @You are not to make an image or picture of anything in heaven or on the earth or in the waters under the earth:

bbe@Exodus:20:5 @You may not go down on your faces before them or give them worship: for I, the Lord your God, am a God who will not give his honour to another; and I will send punishment on the children for the wrongdoing of their fathers, to the third and fourth generation of my haters;

bbe@Exodus:20:6 @And I will have mercy through a thousand generations on those who have love for me and keep my laws.

bbe@Exodus:20:7 @You are not to make use of the name of the Lord your God for an evil purpose; whoever takes the Lord's name on his lips for an evil purpose will be judged a sinner by the Lord

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

bbe@Exodus:20:9 @On six days do all your work:

bbe@Exodus:20:10 @But the seventh day is a Sabbath to the Lord your God; on that day you are to do no work, you or your son or your daughter, your man-servant or your woman-servant, your cattle or the man from a strange country who is living among you:

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:20:12 @Give honour to your father and to your mother, so that your life may be long in the land which the Lord your God is giving you

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

bbe@Exodus:20:14 @Do not be false to the married relation.

bbe@Exodus:20:15 @Do not take the property of another.

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

bbe@Exodus:20:17 @Let not your desire be turned to your neighbour's house, or his wife or his man-servant or his woman-servant or his ox or his ass or anything which is his.

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:20:19 @And they said to Moses, To your words we will give ear, but let not the voice of God come to our ears, for fear death may come on us.

bbe@Exodus:20:20 @And Moses said to the people, Have no fear: for God has come to put you to the test, so that fearing him you may be kept from sin.

bbe@Exodus:20:21 @And the people kept their places far off, but Moses went near to the dark cloud where God was.

bbe@Exodus:20:22 @And the Lord said to Moses, Say to the children of Israel, You yourselves have seen that my voice has come to you from heaven

bbe@Exodus:20:23 @Gods of silver and gods of gold you are not to make for yourselves.

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:20:26 @And do not go up by steps to my altar, for fear that your bodies may be seen uncovered.

bbe@Exodus:21:1 @Now these are the laws which you are to put before them.

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:21:4 @If his master gives him a wife, and he gets sons or daughters by her, the wife and her children will be the property of the master, and the servant is to go away by himself.

bbe@Exodus:21:5 @But if the servant says clearly, My master and my wife and children are dear to me; I have no desire to be free:

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:21:7 @And if a man gives his daughter for a price to be a servant, she is not to go away free as the men-servants do.

bbe@Exodus:21:8 @If she is not pleasing to her master who has taken her for himself, let a payment be made for her so that she may go free; her master has no power to get a price for her and send her to a strange land, because he has been false to her.

bbe@Exodus:21:9 @And if he gives her to his son, he is to do everything for her as if she was his daughter.

bbe@Exodus:21:10 @And if he takes another woman, her food and clothing and her married rights are not to be less.

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:21:12 @He who gives a man a death-blow is himself to be put to death.

bbe@Exodus:21:13 @But if he had no evil purpose against him, and God gave him into his hand, I will give you a place to which he may go in flight.

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:21:15 @Any man who gives a blow to his father or his mother is certainly to be put to death.

bbe@Exodus:21:16 @Any man who gets another into his power in order to get a price for him is to be put to death, if you take him in the act.

bbe@Exodus:21:17 @Any man cursing his father or his mother is to be put 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:21:21 @But, at the same time, if the servant goes on living for a day or two, the master is not to get punishment, for the servant is his property.

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:21:23 @But if damage comes to her, let life be given in payment for life,

bbe@Exodus:21:24 @Eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot,

bbe@Exodus:21:25 @Burning for burning, wound for wound, blow for blow.

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:21:27 @Or if the loss of a tooth is caused by his blow, he will let him go free on account of his tooth.

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:21:30 @If a price is put on his life, let him make payment of whatever price is fixed.

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:21:32 @If the death of a man-servant or of a woman-servant is caused by the ox, the owner is to give their master thirty shekels of silver, and the ox is to be stoned.

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:21:34 @The owner of the hole is responsible; he will have to make payment to their owner, but the dead beast will be his.

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:22:2 @If a thief is taken in the act of forcing his way into a house, and his death is caused by a blow, the owner of the house is not responsible for his blood.

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:22:6 @If there is a fire and the flames get to the thorns at the edge of the field, causing destruction of the cut grain or of the living grain, or of the field, he who made the fire will have to make up for the damage.

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:22:8 @If they do not get the thief, let the master of the house come before the judges and take an oath that he has not put his hand on his neighbour's goods.

bbe@Exodus:22:9 @In any question about an ox or an ass or a sheep or clothing, or about the loss of any property which anyone says is his, let the two sides put their cause before God; and he who is judged to be in the wrong is to make payment to his neighbour 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:22:17 @If her father will not give her to him on any account, he will have to give the regular payment for virgins.

bbe@Exodus:22:18 @Any woman using unnatural powers or secret arts is to be put to death.

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

bbe@Exodus:22:20 @Complete destruction will come on any man who makes offerings to any other god but the Lord.

bbe@Exodus:22:21 @Do no wrong to a man from a strange country, and do not be hard on him; for you yourselves were living in a strange country, in the land of Egypt.

bbe@Exodus:22:22 @Do no wrong to a widow, or to a child whose father is dead.

bbe@Exodus:22:23 @If you are cruel to them in any way, and their cry comes up to me, I will certainly give ear;

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:22:28 @You may not say evil of the judges, or put a curse on the ruler of your people.

bbe@Exodus:22:29 @Do not keep back your offerings from the wealth of your grain and your vines. The first of your sons you are to give to me.

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:23:2 @Do not be moved to do wrong by the general opinion, or give the support of your words to a wrong decision:

bbe@Exodus:23:3 @But, on the other hand, do not be turned from what is right in order to give support to a poor man's cause.

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:23:6 @Let no wrong decisions be given in the poor man's cause.

bbe@Exodus:23:7 @Keep yourselves far from any false business; never let the upright or him who has done no wrong be put to death: for I will make the evil-doer responsible for his sin.

bbe@Exodus:23:8 @Take no rewards in a cause: for rewards make blind those who have eyes to see, and make the decisions of the upright false.

bbe@Exodus:23:9 @Do not be hard on the man from a strange country who is living among you; for you have had experience of the feelings of one who is far from the land of his birth, because you yourselves were living in Egypt, in a strange land.

bbe@Exodus:23:10 @For six years put seed into your fields and get in the increase;

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:23:13 @Take note of all these things which I have said to you, and let not the names of other gods come into your minds or from your lips.

bbe@Exodus:23:14 @Three times in the year you are to keep a feast to me.

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:23:17 @Three times in the year let all your males come before the Lord God.

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:23:20 @See, I am sending an angel before you, to keep you on your way and to be your guide into the place which I have made ready for you.

bbe@Exodus:23:21 @Give attention to him and give ear to his voice; do not go against him; for your wrongdoing will not be overlooked by him, because my name is in him.

bbe@Exodus:23:22 @But if you truly give ear to his voice, and do whatever I say, then I will be against those who are against you, fighting those who are fighting you.

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:23:24 @Do not go down on your faces and give worship to their gods, or do as they do; but overcome them completely, and let their pillars be broken down.

bbe@Exodus:23:25 @And give worship to the Lord your God, who will send his blessing on your bread and on your water; and I will take all disease away from among you.

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:23:27 @I will send my fear before you, putting to flight all the people to whom you come; all those who are against you will go in flight, turning their backs before you.

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:23:29 @I will not send them all out in one year, for fear that their land may become waste, and the beasts of the field be increased overmuch against you.

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:24:1 @And he said to Moses, Come up to the Lord, you and Aaron, and Nadab and Abihu and seventy of the chiefs of Israel; and give me worship from a distance.

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:24:5 @And he sent some of the young men of the children of Israel to make burned offerings and peace-offerings of oxen to the Lord.

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:24:9 @Then Moses and Aaron, Nadab, and Abihu, and seventy of the chiefs of Israel went up:

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:24:11 @And he put not his hand on the chiefs of the children of Israel: they saw God, and took food and drink.

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:24:13 @Then Moses and Joshua his servant got up; and Moses went up into the mountain of God.

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:24:17 @And the glory of the Lord was like a flame on the top of the mountain before the eyes of the children of Israel.

bbe@Exodus:24:18 @And Moses went up the mountain, into the cloud, and was there for forty days and forty nights.

bbe@Exodus:25:1 @And the Lord said to Moses,

bbe@Exodus:25:2 @Say to the children of Israel that they are to make me an offering; from every man who has the impulse in his heart take an offering for me.

bbe@Exodus:25:3 @And this is the offering you are to take from them: gold and silver and brass;

bbe@Exodus:25:4 @And blue and purple and red, and the best linen, and goats' hair;

bbe@Exodus:25:5 @And sheepskins coloured red, and leather, and hard wood;

bbe@Exodus:25:6 @Oil for the light, spices for the sweet-smelling oil, sweet perfumes for burning;

bbe@Exodus:25:7 @Beryls and stones of value to be put on the ephod and on the priest's bag.

bbe@Exodus:25:8 @And let them make me a holy place, so that I may be ever present among them.

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:25:11 @It is to be plated inside and out with the best gold, with an edge of gold all round it

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:25:13 @And make rods of the same wood, plating them with gold.

bbe@Exodus:25:14 @And put the rods through the rings at the sides of the ark, for lifting it.

bbe@Exodus:25:15 @The rods are to be kept in the rings, and never taken out.

bbe@Exodus:25:16 @Inside the ark you are to put the record which I will give you.

bbe@Exodus:25:17 @And you are to make a cover of the best gold, two and a half cubits long and a cubit and a half wide.

bbe@Exodus:25:18 @And at the two ends of the cover you are to make two winged ones of hammered gold,

bbe@Exodus:25:19 @One at one end and one at the other; the winged ones are to be part of the cover.

bbe@Exodus:25:20 @And their wings are to be outstretched over the cover, and the winged ones are to be opposite one another, facing the cover.

bbe@Exodus:25:21 @And put the cover over the ark, and in the ark the record which I will give you.

bbe@Exodus:25:22 @And there, between the two winged ones on the cover of the ark, I will come to you, face to face, and make clear to you all the orders I have to give you for the children of Israel.

bbe@Exodus:25:23 @And you are to make a table of the same wood, two cubits long, a cubit wide and a cubit and a half high,

bbe@Exodus:25:24 @Plated with the best gold, with a gold edge all round it;

bbe@Exodus:25:25 @And make a frame all round it, as wide as a man's hand, with a gold edge to the frame.

bbe@Exodus:25:26 @And make four gold rings and put them at the four angles, on the four feet of the table;

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:25:29 @And make the table-vessels, the spoons and the cups and the basins for liquids, all of the best gold.

bbe@Exodus:25:30 @And on the table at all times you are to keep my holy bread.

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:25:33 @Every branch having three cups made like almond flowers, every cup with a bud and a flower, on all the branches.

bbe@Exodus:25:34 @And on the pillar, four cups like almond flowers, every one with its bud and its flower:

bbe@Exodus:25:35 @And under every two branches a bud, made with the branch, for all the six branches of it.

bbe@Exodus:25:36 @The buds and the branches are to be made of the same metal; all together one complete work of hammered gold.

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:25:40 @And see that you make them from the design which you saw on the mountain.

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:26:3 @Five curtains are to be joined together, and the other five are to be joined together.

bbe@Exodus:26:4 @And you are to put twists of blue cord on the edge of the outside curtain of the first group of five, and on the edge of the outside curtain of the second group of five;

bbe@Exodus:26:5 @Fifty twists on one curtain and fifty on the other, the twists to be opposite one another.

bbe@Exodus:26:6 @Then make fifty gold hooks, joining the curtains together by the hooks, and in this way the House will be made.

bbe@Exodus:26:7 @And you are to make curtains of goats' hair for a tent over the House, eleven curtains.

bbe@Exodus:26:8 @Every curtain is to be thirty cubits long and four cubits wide, all of the same measure.

bbe@Exodus:26:9 @Five of these curtains are to be joined together, and the other six are to be joined together, the sixth being folded over to make a hanging in front of the tent.

bbe@Exodus:26:10 @And you are to put fifty twists of cord on the edge of the outside curtain of one group, and fifty twists on the edge of the outside curtain of the other group.

bbe@Exodus:26:11 @Then make fifty brass hooks and put the hooks into the twists, joining the tent together to make it one

bbe@Exodus:26:12 @And the folded part which is over of the curtains of the tent, the half-curtain which is folded back, will be hanging down over the back of the House.

bbe@Exodus:26:13 @And the cubit which is over of the ten curtains at the sides will be hanging over the two sides of the House as a cover.

bbe@Exodus:26:14 @And then you are to make a cover for the tent, of sheepskins coloured red, and a cover of leather over that.

bbe@Exodus:26:15 @And you are to make upright boards of hard wood for the House.

bbe@Exodus:26:16 @Every board is to be ten cubits high and a cubit and a half wide.

bbe@Exodus:26:17 @Every board is to be joined to the one nearest to it by two tongues, and so for every board in the House.

bbe@Exodus:26:18 @These are the boards needed for the house; twenty boards for the south side,

bbe@Exodus:26:19 @With forty silver bases under the twenty boards, two bases under every board to take its tongues.

bbe@Exodus:26:20 @And twenty boards for the second side of the house on the north,

bbe@Exodus:26:21 @With their forty silver bases, two under every board.

bbe@Exodus:26:22 @And six boards for the back of the House on the west,

bbe@Exodus:26:23 @With two boards for the angles of the House at the back.

bbe@Exodus:26:24 @The two are to be joined together at the base and at the top to one ring, forming the two angles.

bbe@Exodus:26:25 @So there are to be eight boards, with their sixteen silver bases, two bases under every board.

bbe@Exodus:26:26 @And make rods of the same wood, five for the boards on the one side,

bbe@Exodus:26:27 @And five for the boards on the other side of the House, and five for the west side of the House at the back.

bbe@Exodus:26:28 @And the middle rod is to go through the rings of all the boards from end to end.

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:26:30 @And you are to make the House from the design which you saw on the mountain.

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:26:32 @Hanging it by gold hooks from four pillars of wood, plated with gold and fixed in silver bases.

bbe@Exodus:26:33 @And you are to put up the veil under the hooks, and put inside it the ark of the law: the veil is to be a division between the holy place and the most holy.

bbe@Exodus:26:34 @You are to put the cover on the ark of the law, inside the most holy place.

bbe@Exodus:26:35 @And outside the veil you are to put the table, and the support for the lights opposite the table on the south side of the House; and the table is to be on the north side.

bbe@Exodus:26:36 @And you are to make a curtain for the doorway of the Tent, of the best linen with needlework of blue and purple and red.

bbe@Exodus:26:37 @And make five pillars for the curtain, of hard wood plated with gold; their hooks are to be of gold and their bases of brass

bbe@Exodus:27:1 @And make an altar of hard wood, a square altar, five cubits long, five cubits wide and three cubits high.

bbe@Exodus:27:2 @Put horns at the four angles of it, made of the same, plating it all with brass.

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:27:5 @And put the network under the shelf round the altar so that the net comes half-way up the altar.

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:27:10 @Their twenty pillars and their twenty bases are to be of brass; the hooks of the pillars and their bands are to be of silver.

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:27:20 @Give orders to the children of Israel to give you clear olive oil for the lights, so that a light may be burning there at all times.

bbe@Exodus:27:21 @Let Aaron and his sons put this in order, evening and morning, before the Lord, inside the Tent of meeting, outside the veil which is before the ark; this is to be an order for ever, from generation to generation, to be kept by the children of Israel.

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:28:4 @This is what they are to make: a priest's bag, an ephod, and a robe, and a coat of coloured needlework, a head-dress, and a linen band; they are to make holy robes for Aaron your brother and for his sons, so that they may do the work of priests for me.

bbe@Exodus:28:5 @They are to take the gold and blue and purple and red and the best linen,

bbe@Exodus:28:6 @And make the ephod of gold and blue and purple and red and the best linen, the work of a designer.

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:28:9 @You are to take two beryl stones, on which the names of the children of Israel are to be cut:

bbe@Exodus:28:10 @Six names on the one stone and six on the other, in the order of their birth.

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:28:12 @And the two stones are to be placed on the ephod, over the arm-holes, to be stones of memory for the children of Israel: Aaron will have their names on his arms when he goes in before the Lord, to keep the Lord in mind of them.

bbe@Exodus:28:13 @And you are to make twisted frames of gold;

bbe@Exodus:28:14 @And two chains of the best gold, twisted like cords; and have the chains fixed on to the frames.

bbe@Exodus:28:15 @And make a priest's bag for giving decisions, designed like the ephod, made of gold and blue and purple and red and the best linen

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:28:18 @The second, a ruby, a sapphire, and an onyx;

bbe@Exodus:28:19 @The third, a jacinth, an agate, and an amethyst;

bbe@Exodus:28:20 @The fourth, a topaz, a beryl, and a jasper; they are to be fixed in twisted frames of gold.

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:28:22 @And you are to make two chains of gold, twisted like cords, to be fixed to the priest's bag.

bbe@Exodus:28:23 @And put two gold rings on the two ends of the bag.

bbe@Exodus:28:24 @Put the two gold chains on the two rings at the ends of the bag;

bbe@Exodus:28:25 @Joining the other ends of the chains to the gold frames and putting them on the front of the ephod, at the top of the arms.

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:28:27 @And make two more gold rings and put them on the front of the ephod at the top of the arms, at the join, over the worked band:

bbe@Exodus:28:28 @So that the rings on the bag may be fixed to the rings of the ephod by a blue cord and on to the band of the ephod, so that the bag may not come loose from the ephod.

bbe@Exodus:28:29 @And so Aaron will have the names of the children of Israel on the priest's bag over his heart whenever he goes into the holy place, to keep the memory of them before the Lord.

bbe@Exodus:28:30 @And in the bag you are to put the Urim and Thummim, so that they may be on Aaron's heart whenever he goes in before the Lord; and Aaron may have the power of making decisions for the children of Israel before the Lord at all times.

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:28:39 @The coat is to be made of the best linen, worked in squares; and you are to make a head-dress of linen, and a linen band worked in needlework.

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:28:41 @These you are to put on Aaron, your brother, and on his sons, putting oil on them, separating them and making them holy, to do the work of priests to me.

bbe@Exodus:28:42 @And you are to make them linen trousers, covering their bodies from the middle to the knee;

bbe@Exodus:28:43 @Aaron and his sons are to put these on whenever they go into the Tent of meeting or come near the altar, when they are doing the work of the holy place, so that they may be free from any sin causing death: this is to be an order for him and his seed after him for ever.

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:29:5 @Take the robes, and put the coat and the dress and the ephod and the priest's bag on Aaron; put the band of needlework round him,

bbe@Exodus:29:6 @And let the head-dress be placed on his head and the holy crown on the head-dress.

bbe@Exodus:29:7 @Then take the oil and put it on his head.

bbe@Exodus:29:8 @And take his sons and put their robes on them;

bbe@Exodus:29:9 @And put the linen bands round Aaron and his sons, and the head-dresses on them, to make them priests by my order for ever: so you are to make Aaron and his sons holy to me.

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:29:11 @And you are to put the ox to death before the Lord at the door of the Tent of meeting.

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:29:18 @And let them all be burned on the altar as a burned offering to the Lord: a sweet smell, an offering made by fire to the Lord.

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:29:24 @And put them all on the hands of Aaron and of his sons, to be waved for a wave offering before the Lord.

bbe@Exodus:29:25 @Then take them from their hands, and let them be burned on the burned offering on the altar, a sweet smell before the Lord, an offering made by fire to 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:29:27 @So you are to make holy the breast of the sheep which is waved and the leg which is lifted up on high, that is, of the sheep which is offered for Aaron and his sons;

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:29:29 @And Aaron's holy robes will be used by his sons after him; they will put them on when they are made priests.

bbe@Exodus:29:30 @For seven days the son who becomes priest in his place will put them on when he comes into the Tent of meeting to do the work of the holy place.

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:29:33 @All those things which were used as offerings to take away sin, and to make them holy to be priests, they may have for food: but no one who is not a priest may have them, for they are holy food.

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:29:35 @All these things you are to do to Aaron and his sons as I have given you orders: for seven days the work of making them priests is to go on.

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:29:38 @Now this is the offering which you are to make on the altar: two lambs in their first year, every day regularly.

bbe@Exodus:29:39 @One lamb is to be offered in the morning and the other in the evening:

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:29:44 @I will make holy the Tent of meeting and the altar: and Aaron and his sons I will make holy, to be my priests

bbe@Exodus:29:45 @Among the children of Israel I will make my living-place, and I will be their God.

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:30:7 @And on this altar sweet spices are to be burned by Aaron every morning when he sees to the lights.

bbe@Exodus:30:8 @And every evening, when he puts the lights up in their places, the spices are to be burned, a sweet-smelling smoke going up before the Lord from generation to generation for ever.

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:30:11 @And the Lord said to Moses,

bbe@Exodus:30:12 @When you are taking the number of the children of Israel, let every man who is numbered give to the Lord a price for his life, so that no disease may come on them when they are numbered.

bbe@Exodus:30:13 @And this is what they are to give; let every man who is numbered give half a shekel, by the scale of the holy place: (the shekel being valued at twenty gerahs:) this money is an offering to the Lord.

bbe@Exodus:30:14 @Everyone who is numbered, from twenty years old and over, is to give an offering to the Lord.

bbe@Exodus:30:15 @The man of wealth is to give no more and the poor man no less than the half-shekel of silver, when the offering is made to the Lord as the price for your lives.

bbe@Exodus:30:16 @And you are to take this money from the children of Israel to be used for the work of the Tent of meeting, to keep the memory of the children of Israel before the Lord and to be the price of your lives.

bbe@Exodus:30:17 @And the Lord said to Moses,

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:30:21 @Their hands and feet are to be washed. so that they may be safe from death: this is an order to them for ever; to him and his seed from generation to generation.

bbe@Exodus:30:22 @And the Lord said to Moses,

bbe@Exodus:30:23 @Take the best spices, five hundred shekels' weight of liquid myrrh, and of sweet cinnamon half as much, that is, two hundred and fifty shekels, and two hundred and fifty shekels of sweet calamus,

bbe@Exodus:30:24 @And of cassia, five hundred shekels' weight measured by the scale of the holy place, and of olive oil a hin:

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:30:26 @This oil is to be put on the Tent of meeting, and on the ark of the law,

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:30:29 @And you are to make them most holy; anything touching them will become holy.

bbe@Exodus:30:30 @And put the oil on Aaron and his sons, making them holy to do the work of priests to me.

bbe@Exodus:30:31 @And say to the children of Israel, This is to be the Lord's holy oil, from generation to generation.

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:31:1 @And the Lord said to Moses,

bbe@Exodus:31:2 @I have made selection of Bezalel, the son of Uri, by name, the son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah:

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:31:4 @To do all sorts of delicate work in gold and silver and brass;

bbe@Exodus:31:5 @In cutting stones for framing, and to do every form of woodwork.

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:31:10 @And the robes of needlework, the holy robes for Aaron and for his sons, for their use when acting as priests,

bbe@Exodus:31:11 @And the holy oil, and the perfume of sweet spices for the holy place; they will do whatever I have given you orders to have done.

bbe@Exodus:31:12 @And the Lord said to Moses,

bbe@Exodus:31:13 @Say to the children of Israel that they are to keep my Sabbaths; for the Sabbath day is a sign between me and you through all your generations; so that you may see that I am the Lord who makes you holy.

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:31:15 @Six days may work be done, but the seventh day is a Sabbath of complete rest, holy to the Lord; whoever does any work on the Sabbath day is to be put to death.

bbe@Exodus:31:16 @And the children of Israel are to keep the Sabbath holy, from generation to generation, by an eternal agreement.

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:32:1 @And when the people saw that Moses was a long time coming down from the mountain, they all came to Aaron and said to him, Come, make us a god to go before us: as for this Moses, who took us up out of the land of Egypt, we have no idea what has become of him.

bbe@Exodus:32:2 @Then Aaron said to them, Take off the gold rings which are in the ears of your wives and your sons and your daughters, and give them to me.

bbe@Exodus:32:3 @And all the people took the gold rings from their ears and gave them to Aaron.

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:32:6 @So early on the day after they got up and made burned offerings and peace-offerings; and took their seats at the feast, and then gave themselves to pleasure.

bbe@Exodus:32:7 @And the Lord said to Moses, Go down quickly; for your people, whom you took out of the land of Egypt, are turned to evil ways;

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:32:9 @And the Lord said to Moses, I have been watching this people, and I see that they are a stiff-necked people.

bbe@Exodus:32:10 @Now do not get in my way, for my wrath is burning against them; I will send destruction on them, but of you I will make a great nation.

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:32:12 @Why let the Egyptians say, He took them out to an evil fate, to put them to death on the mountains, cutting them off from the earth? Let your wrath be turned away from them, and send not this evil on your people.

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:32:14 @So the Lord let himself be turned from his purpose of sending punishment on his people.

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:32:17 @Now when the noise and the voices of the people came to the ears of Joshua, he said to Moses, There is a noise of war in the tents.

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:32:19 @And when he came near the tents he saw the image of the ox, and the people dancing; and in his wrath Moses let the stones go from his hands, and they were broken at the foot of the mountain.

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:32:21 @And Moses said to Aaron, What did the people do to you that you let this great sin come on them?

bbe@Exodus:32:22 @And Aaron said, Let not my lord be angry; you have seen how the purposes of this people are evil.

bbe@Exodus:32:23 @For they said to me, Make us a god to go before us: as for this Moses, who took us up out of the land of Egypt, we have no idea what has come to him

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:32:25 @And Moses saw that the people were out of control, for Aaron had let them loose to their shame before their haters:

bbe@Exodus:32:26 @Then Moses took his place at the way into the tents, and said, Whoever is on the Lord's side, let him come to me. And all the sons of Levi came together to him.

bbe@Exodus:32:27 @And he said to them, This is the word of the Lord, the God of Israel: Let every man take his sword at his side, and go from one end of the tents to the other, putting to death his brother and his friend and his neighbour.

bbe@Exodus:32:28 @And the sons of Levi did as Moses said; and about three thousand of the people were put to death that day.

bbe@Exodus:32:29 @And Moses said, You have made yourselves priests to the Lord this day; for every one of you has made the offering of his son and his brother; the blessing of the Lord is on you this day.

bbe@Exodus:32:30 @And on the day after, Moses said to the people, Great has been your sin: but I will go up to the Lord, and see if I may get forgiveness for your sin.

bbe@Exodus:32:31 @Then Moses went back to the Lord and said, This people has done a great sin, making themselves a god of gold;

bbe@Exodus:32:32 @But now, if you will give them forgiveness--but if not, let my name be taken out of your book.

bbe@Exodus:32:33 @And the Lord said to Moses, Whoever has done evil against me will be taken out of my book.

bbe@Exodus:32:34 @But now, go, take the people into that place of which I have given you word; see, my angel will go before you: but when the time of my judging has come, I will send punishment on them for their sin.

bbe@Exodus:32:35 @And the Lord sent punishment on the people because they gave worship to the ox which Aaron made.

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:33:4 @Hearing this bad news the people were full of grief, and no one put on his ornaments.

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:33:6 @So the children of Israel took off their ornaments at Mount Horeb, and did not put them on again.

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:33:8 @And whenever Moses went out to the Tent of meeting, all the people got up and everyone went to the door of his tent, looking after Moses till he went inside the Tent.

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:33:10 @And all the people saw the cloud at the door of the Tent, and they went down on their faces, everyone at the door of his tent.

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:33:13 @If then I have grace in your eyes, let me see your ways, so that I may have knowledge of you and be certain of your grace; and my prayer is that you will keep in mind that this nation is your people.

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:33:17 @And the Lord said to Moses, I will do as you say: for you have grace in my eyes, and I have knowledge of you by your name.

bbe@Exodus:33:18 @And Moses said, O Lord, let me see your glory.

bbe@Exodus:33:19 @And he said, I will make all the light of my being come before you, and will make clear to you what I am; I will be kind to those to whom I will be kind, and have mercy on those on whom I will have mercy.

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:33:21 @And the Lord said, See, there is a place near me, and you may take your place on the rock:

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:33:23 @Then I will take away my hand, and you will see my back: but my face is not to be seen.

bbe@Exodus:34:1 @And the Lord said to Moses, Make two other stones like the first two; and I will put on them the words which were on the first stones, which were broken by you.

bbe@Exodus:34:2 @And be ready by the morning, and come up on Mount Sinai, and come before me there in the morning, on the top of the mountain.

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:34:5 @And the Lord came down in the cloud and took his place by the side of Moses, and Moses gave worship to the name of the Lord.

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:34:7 @Having mercy on thousands, overlooking evil and wrongdoing and sin; he will not let wrongdoers go free, but will send punishment on children for the sins of their fathers, and on their children's children to the third and fourth generation.

bbe@Exodus:34:8 @Then Moses quickly went down on his face in worship.

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:34:10 @And the Lord said, See, this is what I will undertake: before the eyes of your people I will do wonders, such as have not been done in all the earth or in any nation: and all your people will see the work of the Lord, for what I am about to do for you is greatly to be feared.

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:34:13 @But their altars are to be overturned and their pillars broken and their images cut down:

bbe@Exodus:34:14 @For you are to be worshippers of no other god: for the Lord is a God who will not give his honour to another.

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:34:17 @Make for yourselves no gods of metal.

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:34:19 @Every first male child is mine; the first male birth of your cattle, the first male of every ox and sheep.

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:34:21 @Six days let work be done, but on the seventh day take your rest: at ploughing time and at the grain-cutting you are to have a day for rest.

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:34:23 @Three times in the year let all your males come before the Lord, the God of Israel.

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:34:30 @But when Aaron and all the children of Israel saw Moses, and the shining of his face, they would not come near him for fear.

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:34:32 @And later, all the children of Israel came near, and he gave them all the orders which the Lord had given him on Mount Sinai.

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:34:35 @And the children of Israel saw that the face of Moses was shining: so Moses put the veil over his face again till he went to the Lord.

bbe@Exodus:35:1 @And Moses sent for all the children of Israel to come together, and said to them, This is what the Lord has said and these are his orders.

bbe@Exodus:35:2 @Six days let work be done, but the seventh day is to be a holy day to you, a Sabbath of rest to the Lord; whoever does any work on that day is to be put to death.

bbe@Exodus:35:3 @No fire is to be lighted in any of your houses on the Sabbath day.

bbe@Exodus:35:4 @And Moses said to all the meeting of the children of Israel, This is the order which the Lord has given:

bbe@Exodus:35:5 @Take from among you an offering to the Lord; everyone who has the impulse in his heart, let him give his offering to the Lord; gold and silver and brass;

bbe@Exodus:35:6 @And blue and purple and red and the best linen and goats' hair,

bbe@Exodus:35:7 @And sheepskins coloured red, and leather, and hard wood,

bbe@Exodus:35:8 @And oil for the lights, and spices for the holy oil and for the sweet perfumes for burning.

bbe@Exodus:35:9 @And beryls and jewels to be cut for the ephod and for the priest's bag.

bbe@Exodus:35:10 @And let every wise-hearted man among you come and make whatever has been ordered by the Lord;

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:35:18 @The nails for the House, and the nails for the open space and their cords;

bbe@Exodus:35:19 @The robes of needlework for the work of the holy place, the holy robes for Aaron the priest, and the robes for his sons when acting as priests.

bbe@Exodus:35:20 @And all the children of Israel went away from Moses.

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:35:22 @They came, men and women, all who were ready to give, and gave pins and nose-rings and finger-rings and neck-ornaments, all of gold; everyone gave an offering of gold to the Lord.

bbe@Exodus:35:23 @And everyone who had blue and purple and red and the best linen and goats' hair and sheepskins coloured red and leather, gave them.

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:35:26 @And those women who had the knowledge, made the goats' hair into cloth.

bbe@Exodus:35:27 @And the rulers gave the beryls and the cut jewels for the ephod and the priest's bag;

bbe@Exodus:35:28 @And the spice and the oil for the light, and the holy oil and the sweet perfumes.

bbe@Exodus:35:29 @The children of Israel, every man and woman, from the impulse of their hearts, gave their offerings freely to the Lord for the work which the Lord had given Moses orders to have done.

bbe@Exodus:35:30 @And Moses said to the children of Israel, See, the Lord has made selection of Bezalel, the son of Uri, the son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah;

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:35:32 @As an expert designer of beautiful things, working in gold and silver and brass;

bbe@Exodus:35:33 @Trained in the cutting of stones and the ornamenting of wood and in every sort of handwork.

bbe@Exodus:35:34 @And he has given to him, and to Oholiab, the son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan, the power of training others.

bbe@Exodus:35:35 @To them he has given knowledge of all the arts of the handworker, of the designer, and the expert workman; of the maker of needlework in blue and purple and red and the best linen, and of the maker of cloth; in all the arts of the designer and the trained workman they are expert.

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:36:2 @Then Moses sent for Bezalel and Oholiab, and for all the wise-hearted men to whom the Lord had given wisdom, even everyone who was moved by the impulse of his heart to come and take part in the work:

bbe@Exodus:36:3 @And they took from Moses all the offerings which the children of Israel had given for the building of the holy place. And still they went on giving him more free offerings every morning.

bbe@Exodus:36:4 @Then the wise men, who were doing all the work of the holy place, came from their work;

bbe@Exodus:36:5 @And said to Moses, The people are giving much more than is needed for the work which the Lord has given us orders to do.

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:36:7 @For the material they had was enough and more than enough for all the work which had to be done.

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:36:10 @And five curtains were joined together, and the other five curtains were joined together.

bbe@Exodus:36:11 @And they put twists of blue cord on the edge of the outside curtain of the first group, and in the same way on the outside curtain of the second group.

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:36:14 @And they made curtains of goats' hair for the tent; eleven curtains were made.

bbe@Exodus:36:15 @Every curtain was thirty cubits long and four cubits wide, all of the same measure.

bbe@Exodus:36:16 @Five curtains were joined together to make one group, and six curtains were joined together to make the other group.

bbe@Exodus:36:17 @And they put fifty twists of cord on the edge of the outside curtain of the first group, and fifty twists on the edge of the outside curtain of the second group,

bbe@Exodus:36:18 @And fifty hooks of brass for joining them together to make the tent.

bbe@Exodus:36:19 @And they made a cover of sheepskins coloured red, to go over the tent, and a cover of leather over that.

bbe@Exodus:36:20 @And for the uprights of the House they made boards of hard wood.

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:36:23 @They made twenty boards for the south side of the House:

bbe@Exodus:36:24 @And for these twenty boards, forty silver bases, two bases under every board, to take its tongues.

bbe@Exodus:36:25 @And for the second side of the House, on the north, they made twenty boards,

bbe@Exodus:36:26 @With their forty silver bases, two bases for every board.

bbe@Exodus:36:27 @And for the west side of the House, at the back, they made six boards,

bbe@Exodus:36:28 @And two boards for the angles at the back.

bbe@Exodus:36:29 @These were joined together at the base and at the top to one ring, so forming the two angles.

bbe@Exodus:36:30 @So there were eight boards with sixteen bases of silver, two bases under every board.

bbe@Exodus:36:31 @And they made rods of hard wood; five for the boards on one side of the House,

bbe@Exodus:36:32 @And five for the boards on the other side of the House, and five for the boards at the back, on the west.

bbe@Exodus:36:33 @The middle rod was made to go right through the rings of all the boards from one end to the other.

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:37:8 @Placing one at one end and one at the other; the winged ones were part 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:37:16 @And all the table-vessels, the plates and spoons and basins and the cups for liquids, he made of the best 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:37:22 @The buds and the branches were made of the same metal, all together one complete work of the best hammered gold.

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:37:29 @And he made the holy oil and the perfume of sweet spices for burning, after the art of the perfume-maker.

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:38:3 @And brass was used for all the vessels of the altar, the baskets and the spades, the basins and the meat-hooks and the fire-trays; all the vessels he made of 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:38:5 @And four rings for the four angles of this network, to take the rods.

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:38:8 @And he made the washing-vessel of brass on a brass base, using the polished brass looking-glasses given by the women who did work at the doors of the Tent of meeting.

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:38:10 @Their twenty pillars and their twenty bases were brass; and the hooks of the pillars and their bands were of silver.

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:38:16 @All the hangings were of the best linen.

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:38:22 @Bezalel, the son of Uri, the son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah, made everything as the Lord had given orders to Moses.

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:38:24 @The gold used for all the different work done for the holy place, the gold which was given, was twenty-nine talents, and seven hundred and thirty shekels in weight, by the scale of the holy place.

bbe@Exodus:38:25 @And the silver given by those who were numbered of the people was a hundred talents, and a thousand, seven hundred and seventy-five shekels in weight, by the scale of the holy place.

bbe@Exodus:38:26 @A beka, that is, half a shekel by the holy scale, for everyone who was numbered; there were six hundred and three thousand, five hundred and fifty men of twenty years old and over.

bbe@Exodus:38:27 @Of this silver, a hundred talents was used for making the bases of the pillars of the holy place and of the veil; a talent for every base.

bbe@Exodus:38:28 @And a thousand, seven hundred and seventy-five shekels of silver was used to make the hooks for the pillars, and for plating the tops of the pillars and for making their bands.

bbe@Exodus:38:29 @The brass which was given was seventy talents, two thousand four hundred shekels;

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:39:1 @And from the needlework of blue and purple and red they made the robes used for the work of the holy place, and the holy robes for Aaron, as the Lord had given orders to Moses.

bbe@Exodus:39:2 @The ephod he made of gold and blue and purple and red and the best linen;

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:39:7 @These he put on the ephod, over the arm-holes, to be stones of memory for the children of Israel, as the Lord had said to Moses.

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:39:11 @In the second, a ruby, a sapphire, and an onyx;

bbe@Exodus:39:12 @In the third, a jacinth, an agate, and an amethyst;

bbe@Exodus:39:13 @In the fourth, a topaz, a beryl, and a jasper; they were fixed in twisted frames of gold.

bbe@Exodus:39:14 @There were twelve stones for the twelve tribes of Israel; on every one the name of one of the tribes of Israel was cut, like the cutting of a stamp.

bbe@Exodus:39:15 @And on the bag they put gold chains, twisted like cords.

bbe@Exodus:39:16 @And they made two gold frames and two gold rings, the rings being fixed to the ends of the priest's bag;

bbe@Exodus:39:17 @And they put the two twisted chains on the two rings at the ends of the priest's bag;

bbe@Exodus:39:18 @And the other two ends of the chains were joined to the two frames and fixed to the front of the ephod over the arm-holes.

bbe@Exodus:39:19 @And they made two rings of gold and put them on the two lower ends of the bag, on the inner side nearest to the ephod.

bbe@Exodus:39:20 @And two other gold rings were put on the front of the ephod, over the arm-holes, at the join, and over the worked band.

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:39:27 @The coats for Aaron and his sons they made of the best linen;

bbe@Exodus:39:28 @And the twisted head-dress for Aaron, and beautiful head-dresses of linen, and linen trousers,

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:39:34 @The outer cover of sheepskins coloured red, and the cover of leather, and the veil for the doorway;

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:39:38 @And the gold altar, and the holy oil, and the sweet perfume for burning, and the curtain for the doorway of the tent;

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:39:41 @The robes for use in the holy place, and the holy robes for Aaron and his sons when acting as priests.

bbe@Exodus:39:42 @The children of Israel did everything as the Lord had given orders to Moses.

bbe@Exodus:39:43 @Then Moses, when he saw all their work and saw that they had done everything as the Lord had said, gave them his blessing.

bbe@Exodus:40:1 @And the Lord said to Moses,

bbe@Exodus:40:2 @On the first day of the first month you are to put up 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:40:5 @And put the gold altar for burning perfumes in front of the ark of the law, hanging the curtain over the doorway of the House.

bbe@Exodus:40:6 @And put the altar of burned offerings before the doorway of the House of the Tent of meeting.

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:40:13 @You are to put on Aaron the holy robes; and you are to put oil on him, and make him holy, so that he may be my priest.

bbe@Exodus:40:14 @And take his sons with him and put coats on them;

bbe@Exodus:40:15 @And put oil on them as you did on their father, so that they may be my priests: the putting on of oil will make them priests for ever, from generation to generation.

bbe@Exodus:40:16 @And Moses did this; as the Lord gave him orders, so he did.

bbe@Exodus:40:17 @So on the first day of the first month in the second year the House was put up.

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:40:22 @And he put the table in the Tent of meeting, on the north side outside the veil.

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:40:25 @Lighting the lights before the Lord, as the Lord had given him orders.

bbe@Exodus:40:26 @And he put the gold altar in the Tent of meeting, in front of the veil:

bbe@Exodus:40:27 @Burning sweet perfumes on it, as the Lord had given him orders.

bbe@Exodus:40:28 @And he put up the curtain at the doorway of the House.

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:40:32 @Whenever they went into the Tent of meeting, and when they came near the altar, as the Lord had given orders to Moses.

bbe@Exodus:40:33 @And he put up the hangings forming the open space round the House and the altar, and put the curtain over the doorway. So Moses made the work complete.

bbe@Exodus:40:34 @Then the cloud came down covering the Tent of meeting, and the House was full of the glory of the Lord;

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:40:36 @And whenever the cloud was taken up from the House, the children of Israel went forward on their journey:

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:3:5 @That it may be burned by Aaron's sons on the altar, on the burned offering which is on the wood on the fire: it is an offering made by fire of a sweet smell to the Lord.

bbe@Leviticus:3:6 @And if what he gives for a peace-offering to the Lord is of the flock, let him give a male or female, without any mark on it.

bbe@Leviticus:3:7 @If his offering is a lamb, then let it be placed before the Lord:

bbe@Leviticus:3:8 @And he is to put his hand on the head of his offering and put it to death before the Tent of meeting; and Aaron's sons are to put some of its blood on and round the altar.

bbe@Leviticus:3:9 @And of the peace-offering, let him give an offering made by fire to the Lord; the fat of it, all the fat tail, he is to take away near the backbone; and the fat covering the inside parts and all the fat on the inside parts,

bbe@Leviticus:3:10 @And the two kidneys, with 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:3:11 @That it may be burned by the priest on the altar; it is the food of the offering made by fire to the Lord.

bbe@Leviticus:3:12 @And if his offering is a goat, then let it be placed before the Lord,

bbe@Leviticus:3:13 @And let him put his hand on the head of it and put it to death before the Tent of meeting; and the sons of Aaron are to put some of its blood on and round the altar.

bbe@Leviticus:3:14 @And of it let him make his offering, an offering made by fire to the Lord; the fat covering the inside parts and all the fat on the inside parts,

bbe@Leviticus:3:15 @And the two kidneys, with the fat on them, which is by the top part of the legs, and the fat joining the liver and the kidneys, let him take away;

bbe@Leviticus:3:16 @That it may be burned by the priest on the altar; it is the food of the offering made by fire for a sweet smell: all the fat is the Lord's.

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:4:8 @And he is to take away all the fat of the ox of the sin-offering; the fat covering the inside parts and all the fat of the inside parts,

bbe@Leviticus:4:9 @And the two kidneys, with 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:4:10 @As it is taken from the ox of the peace-offering; and it is to be burned by the priest on the altar of burned offerings

bbe@Leviticus:4:11 @And the skin of the ox and all its flesh, with its head and its legs and its inside parts and its waste,

bbe@Leviticus:4:12 @All the ox, he is to take away outside the circle of the tents into a clean place where the burned waste is put, and there it is to be burned on wood with fire.

bbe@Leviticus:4:13 @And if all the people of Israel do wrong, without anyone's knowledge; if they have done any of the things which by the Lord's order are not to be done, causing sin to come on them;

bbe@Leviticus:4:14 @When the sin which they have done comes to light, then let all the people give an ox for a sin-offering, and take it before the Tent of meeting.

bbe@Leviticus:4:15 @And let the chiefs of the people put their hands on its head before the Lord, and put the ox to death before the Lord.

bbe@Leviticus:4:16 @And the priest is to take some of its blood to the Tent of meeting;

bbe@Leviticus:4:17 @And put his finger in the blood, shaking drops of the blood seven times before the Lord in front of the veil.

bbe@Leviticus:4:18 @And he is to put some of the blood on the horns of the altar which is before the Lord in the Tent of meeting; and all the rest of the blood is to be drained out at the base of the altar of burned offering at the door of the Tent of meeting.

bbe@Leviticus:4:19 @And he is to take off all its fat, burning it on the altar.

bbe@Leviticus:4:20 @Let him do with the ox as he did with the ox of the sin-offering; and the priest will take away their sin and they will have forgiveness.

bbe@Leviticus:4:21 @Then let the ox be taken away outside the tent-circle, that it may be burned as the other ox was burned; it is the sin-offering for all the people.

bbe@Leviticus:4:22 @If a ruler does wrong, and in error does any of the things which, by the order of the Lord his God, are not to be done, causing sin to come on him;

bbe@Leviticus:4:23 @When the sin which he has done is made clear to him, let him give for his offering a goat, a male without any mark.

bbe@Leviticus:4:24 @And he is to put his hand on the head of the goat and put it to death in the place where they put to death the burned offering before the Lord: it is a sin-offering.

bbe@Leviticus:4:25 @And the priest is to take some of the blood of the offering with his finger and put it on the horns of the altar of burned offering, draining out the rest of the blood at the base of the altar of burned offering.

bbe@Leviticus:4:26 @And all the fat of it is to be burned on the altar like the fat of the peace-offering; and the priest will take away his sin and he will have forgiveness.

bbe@Leviticus:4:27 @And if any one of the common people does wrong in error, doing any of the things which the Lord has given orders are not to be done, causing sin to come on him;

bbe@Leviticus:4:28 @When the sin which he has done is made clear to him, then he is to give for his offering a goat, a female without any mark, for the sin which he has done.

bbe@Leviticus:4:29 @And he is to put his hand on the head of the sin-offering and put it to death in the place where they put to death the burned offering.

bbe@Leviticus:4:30 @And the priest is to take some of the blood with his finger, and put it on the horns of the altar of burned offering, and all the rest of its blood is to be drained out at the base of the altar.

bbe@Leviticus:4:31 @And let all its fat be taken away, as the fat is taken away from the peace-offerings, and let it be burned on the altar by the priest for a sweet smell to the Lord; and the priest will take away his sin and he will have forgiveness.

bbe@Leviticus:4:32 @And if he gives a lamb as his sin-offering, let it be a female without any mark;

bbe@Leviticus:4:34 @And the priest is to take some of the blood of the offering with his finger and put it on the horns of the altar of burned offering, and all the rest of the blood is to be drained out at the base of the altar;

bbe@Leviticus:4:35 @And let him take away all its fat, as the fat is taken away from the lamb of the peace-offerings; and let it be burned by the priest on the altar among the offerings made by fire to the Lord: and the priest will take away his sin and he will have forgiveness.

bbe@Leviticus:5:1 @And if anyone does wrong by saying nothing when he is put under oath as a witness of something he has seen or had knowledge of, then he will be responsible:

bbe@Leviticus:5:2 @If anyone becomes unclean through touching unconsciously some unclean thing, such as the dead body of an unclean beast or of unclean cattle or of any unclean animal which goes flat on the earth, he will be responsible:

bbe@Leviticus:5:3 @Or if he becomes unclean through touching unconsciously any unclean thing of man, whatever it may be, when it is made clear to him he will be responsible:

bbe@Leviticus:5:4 @Or if anyone, without thought, takes an oath to do evil or to do good, whatever he says without thought, with an oath, having no knowledge of what he is doing; when it becomes clear to him, he will be responsible for any of these things.

bbe@Leviticus:5:5 @And whoever is responsible for any such sin, let him make a statement openly of his wrongdoing;

bbe@Leviticus:5:6 @And take to the Lord the offering for the wrong which he has done, a female from the flock, a lamb or a goat, for a sin-offering, and the priest will take away his sin.

bbe@Leviticus:5:7 @And if he has not money enough for a lamb, then let him give, for his offering to the Lord, two doves or two young pigeons; one for a sin-offering and one for a burned offering.

bbe@Leviticus:5:8 @And let him take them to the priest, who will first give the sin-offering, twisting off its head from its neck, but not cutting it in two;

bbe@Leviticus:5:9 @And he is to put drops of the blood of the offering on the side of the altar, and the rest of the blood is to be drained out at the base of the altar; it is a sin-offering.

bbe@Leviticus:5:10 @And the second is for a burned offering, in agreement with the law; and the priest will take away his sin and he will have forgiveness.

bbe@Leviticus:5:12 @And let him come to the priest with it, and the priest will take some of it in his hand, to be burned on the altar as a sign, among the offerings of the Lord made by fire: it is a sin-offering

bbe@Leviticus:5:13 @And the priest will take away his sin and he will have forgiveness: and the rest of the offering will be the priest's, in the same way as the meal offering.

bbe@Leviticus:5:14 @And the Lord said to Moses,

bbe@Leviticus:5:15 @If anyone is untrue, sinning in error in connection with the holy things of the Lord, let him take his offering to the Lord, a male sheep from the flock, without any mark, of the value fixed by you in silver by shekels, by the scale of the holy place.

bbe@Leviticus:5:16 @And he is to make payment to the priest for what he has done wrong in relation to the holy thing, together with a fifth part of its value in addition; and the priest will take away his sin by the sheep of his offering, and he will have forgiveness.

bbe@Leviticus:5:17 @And if anyone does wrong, and does any of the things which the Lord has given orders are not to be done, though he has no knowledge of it, still he is in the wrong and he is responsible.

bbe@Leviticus:5:18 @Let him come to the priest with a sheep, a male without any mark out of the flock, of the value fixed by you, as an offering for his error; and the priest will take away the sin which he did in error, and he will have forgiveness.

bbe@Leviticus:5:19 @It is an offering for his error: he is certainly responsible before the Lord.

bbe@Leviticus:6:1 @And the Lord said to Moses,

bbe@Leviticus:6:2 @If anyone does wrong, and is untrue to the Lord, acting falsely to his neighbour in connection with something put in his care, or something given for a debt, or has taken away anything by force, or has been cruel to his neighbour,

bbe@Leviticus:6:3 @Or has taken a false oath about the loss of something which he has come across by chance; if a man has done any of these evil things,

bbe@Leviticus:6:4 @Causing sin to come on him, then he will have to give back the thing he took by force or got by cruel acts, or the goods which were put in his care or the thing he came on by chance,

bbe@Leviticus:6:5 @Or anything about which he took a false oath; he will have to give it all back, with the addition of a fifth of its value, to him whose property it is, when he has been judged to be in the wrong.

bbe@Leviticus:6:6 @Then let him take to the Lord the offering for his wrongdoing; giving to the priest for his offering, a male sheep from the flock, without any mark, of the value fixed by you:

bbe@Leviticus:6:7 @And the priest will take away his sin from before the Lord, and he will have forgiveness for whatever crime he has done

bbe@Leviticus:6:8 @And the Lord said to Moses,

bbe@Leviticus:6:9 @Give orders to Aaron and to his sons, saying, This is the law for the burned offering: the offering is to be on the fire-wood on the altar all night till the morning; and the fire of the altar is to be kept burning.

bbe@Leviticus:6:10 @And the priest is to put on his linen robes and his linen trousers, and take up what is over of the offering after it has been burned on the altar, and put it by the side of the altar.

bbe@Leviticus:6:11 @Then having taken off his linen robes and put on other clothing, he is to take it away into a clean place, outside the tent-circle.

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:6:26 @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:6:30 @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:7:14 @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:13:49 @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:14:19 @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:14:23 @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:14:26 @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:14:36 @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: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:27:28 @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@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:3:43 @Every first son from a month old and over was numbered by name, and the number came to twenty-two thousand, two hundred and seventy-three.

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:4:16 @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:4:22 @Let the sons of Gershon be numbered by families, in the order of their fathers' houses;

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:4:29 @The sons of Merari are to be numbered by families, in the order of their fathers' houses;

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:4:34 @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:4:36 @And the number of all these was two thousand, seven hundred and fifty.

bbe@Numbers:4:40 @Who were numbered by families in the order of their fathers' houses, were two thousand, six hundred and thirty.

bbe@Numbers:4:42 @And those of the sons of Merari who were numbered by families, in the order of their fathers' houses,

bbe@Numbers:4:44 @Who were numbered by families, were three thousand, two hundred.

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:4:48 @Came to eight thousand, five hundred and eighty.

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:5:17 @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:5:24 @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:5:27 @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:6:7 @He may not make himself unclean for his father or his mother, his sister or his brother, if death comes to them; because he is under an oath to keep himself separate for God.

bbe@Numbers:6:12 @And he will give to the Lord his days of being separate, offering a he-lamb of the first year as an offering for error: but the earlier days will be a loss, because he became unclean.

bbe@Numbers:6:23 @Say to Aaron and his sons, These are the words of blessing which are to be used by you in blessing the children of Israel; say to them,

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:7:2 @Then the chiefs of Israel, the heads of their fathers' houses, made offerings; these were the chiefs of the tribes, who were over those who were numbered.

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:7:9 @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:7:85 @The weight of every silver plate was a hundred and thirty shekels, and of every basin seventy; the weight of all the silver of the vessels was two thousand and four hundred shekels, by the scale of the holy place;

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:9:6 @And there were certain men who were unclean because of a dead body, so that they were not able to keep the Passover on that day; and they came before Moses and before Aaron on that day:

bbe@Numbers:9:10 @Say to the children of Israel, If any one of you or of your families is unclean because of a dead body, or is on a journey far away, still he is to keep the Passover to the Lord:

bbe@Numbers:9:13 @But the man who, not being unclean or on a journey, does not keep the Passover, will be cut off from his people: because he did not make the offering of the Lord at the regular time, his sin will be on him.

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:9:17 @And whenever the cloud was taken up from over the House, then the children of Israel went journeying on; and in the place where the cloud came to rest, there the children of Israel put up their tents.

bbe@Numbers:9:18 @At the order of the Lord the children of Israel went forward, and at the order of the Lord they put up their tents: as long as the cloud was resting on the House, they did not go away from that place.

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:9:20 @Sometimes the cloud was resting on the House for two or three days; then, by the order of the Lord, they kept their tents in that place, and when the Lord gave the order they went on

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:10:2 @Make two silver horns of hammered work, to be used for getting the people together and to give the sign for the moving of the tents.

bbe@Numbers:10:4 @If only one of them is sounded, then the chiefs, the heads of the thousands of Israel, are to come to you.

bbe@Numbers:10:17 @Then the House was taken down; and the sons of Gershon and the sons of Merari, who were responsible for moving the House, went forward.

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:10:29 @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:10:31 @And he said, Do not go from us; for you will be eyes for us, guiding us to the right places in the waste land to put up our tents.

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:11:3 @So that place was named Taberah, because of the fire of the Lord which had been burning among them.

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:11:8 @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:11:13 @Where am I to get flesh to give to all this people? For they are weeping to me and saying, Give us flesh for our food.

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:11:21 @Then Moses said, The people, among whom I am, are six hundred thousand men on foot; and you have said, I will give them flesh to be their food for a month.

bbe@Numbers:11:34 @So that place was named Kibroth-hattaavah; because there they put in the earth the bodies of the people who had given way to their desires.

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:12:7 @My servant Moses is not so; he is true to me in all my house:

bbe@Numbers:13:11 @Of the tribe of Joseph, that is of the family of Manasseh, Gaddi, the son of Susi.

bbe@Numbers:13:24 @That place was named the valley of Eshcol because of the grapes which the children of Israel took from there.

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:13:32 @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:14:4 @And they said to one another, Let us make a captain over us, and 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:14:16 @Because the Lord was not able to take this people into the land which he made an oath to give them, he sent destruction on them in the waste land.

bbe@Numbers:14:22 @Because all these men, having seen my glory and the signs which I have done in Egypt and in the waste land, still have put me to the test ten times, and have not given ear to my voice;

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:14:33 @And your children will be wanderers in the waste land for forty years, undergoing punishment for your false ways, till your bodies become dust in the waste land.

bbe@Numbers:14:36 @And the men whom Moses sent to see the land, and who, by the bad account they gave of the land, were the cause of the outcry the people made against Moses,

bbe@Numbers:14:40 @And early in the morning they got up and went to the top of the mountain, saying, We are here and we will go up to the place which the Lord said he would give us: for we have done wrong.

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: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:15:28 @And the priest will take away the sin of the person who has done wrong, if the wrong was done unconsciously, and he will have forgiveness.

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:15:31 @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:16:5 @And he said to Korah and his band, In the morning the Lord will make clear who are his, and who is holy, and who may come near him: the man of his selection will be caused to come near him.

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:16:22 @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:16:49 @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:17:2 @Say to the children of Israel that they are to give you rods, one for every family, for every chief, the head of his father's house, making twelve rods; let every man's name be placed on his rod.

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:17:12 @And the children of Israel said to Moses, Truly, destruction has come on us; an evil fate has overtaken us all.

bbe@Numbers:17:13 @Death will overtake everyone who comes near, who comes near the House of the Lord: are we all to come to destruction?

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:18:11 @And this is yours: the lifted offering which they give and all the wave offerings of the children of Israel I have given to you and to your sons and to your daughters as your right for ever: everyone in your house who is clean may have them for food.

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:18:22 @In future the children of Israel are not to come near the Tent of meeting, so that death may not come to them because of sin.

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:18:32 @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:19:9 @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:19:13 @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:19:17 @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:19:20 @But the man who, being unclean, does not make himself clean in this way, will be cut off from the meeting of the people, because he has made the holy place of the Lord unclean: the water has not been put on him, he is unclean.

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:20:4 @Why have you taken the Lord's people into this waste, for death to come to us and to our cattle there?

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:20:12 @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:20:13 @These are the waters of Meribah; because the children of Israel went against the Lord, and they saw that he was holy among them.

bbe@Numbers:20:15 @How our fathers went down into Egypt, and we were living in Egypt for a long time; and the Egyptians were cruel to us and to our fathers:

bbe@Numbers:20:16 @And the Lord gave ear to the voice of our cry, and sent an angel and took us out of Egypt: and now we are in Kadesh, a town on the edge of your land;

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:20:19 @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:20:24 @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:21:5 @And crying out against God and against Moses, they said, Why have you taken us out of Egypt to come to our death in the waste land? For there is no bread and no water, and this poor bread is disgusting to us.

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:21:7 @Then the people came to Moses and said, We have done wrong in crying out against the Lord and against you: make prayer to the Lord to take away the snakes from us. So Moses made prayer for the people.

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: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:22:14 @So the chiefs of Moab went back to Balak and said, Balaam will not come with us.

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:22:22 @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:22:25 @And the ass saw the angel of the Lord, and went near the wall, crushing Balaam's foot against the wall; and he gave her more blows.

bbe@Numbers:22:32 @And the angel of the Lord said to him, Why have you given your ass blows these three times? See, I have come out against you to keep you back, because your purpose is not pleasing to me.

bbe@Numbers:23:10 @Who is able to take the measure of the dust of Jacob or the number of the thousands of Israel? May my death be the death of the upright and my last end like his!

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:24:5 @How fair are your tents, O Jacob, your houses, O Israel!

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:25:9 @But twenty-four thousand of them had come to their death by the disease

bbe@Numbers:25:11 @Through Phinehas, and because of his passion for my honour, my wrath has been turned away from the children of Israel, so that I have not sent destruction on them all in my wrath.

bbe@Numbers:25:13 @And by this agreement, he and his sons after him have the right to be priests for ever; because, by his care for the honour of his God, he took away the sin of the children of Israel.

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:26:7 @These are the families of the Reubenites: their number was forty-three thousand, seven hundred and thirty.

bbe@Numbers:26:14 @These are the families of the Simeonites, twenty-two thousand, two hundred.

bbe@Numbers:26:18 @These are the families of the sons of Gad as they were numbered, forty thousand, five hundred.

bbe@Numbers:26:22 @These are the families of Judah as they were numbered, seventy-six thousand, five hundred.

bbe@Numbers:26:25 @These are the families of Issachar, as they were numbered, sixty-four thousand, three hundred.

bbe@Numbers:26:27 @These are the families of the Zebulunites as they were numbered, sixty thousand, five hundred.

bbe@Numbers:26:34 @These are the families of Manasseh; and those who were numbered of them were fifty-two thousand, seven hundred.

bbe@Numbers:26:37 @These are the families of Ephraim as they were numbered, thirty-two thousand, five hundred. These are the sons of Joseph by their families.

bbe@Numbers:26:41 @These are the sons of Benjamin by their families: and those who were numbered of them were forty-five thousand, six hundred.

bbe@Numbers:26:43 @All the families of the Shuhamites, as they were numbered, were sixty-four thousand, four hundred.

bbe@Numbers:26:47 @These are the families of the sons of Asher as they were numbered, fifty-three thousand, four hundred.

bbe@Numbers:26:50 @These are the families of Naphtali by their families: and those who were numbered of them were forty-five thousand, four hundred.

bbe@Numbers:26:51 @Those who were numbered of the children of Israel were six hundred and one thousand, seven hundred and thirty.

bbe@Numbers:26:58 @These are the families of Levi: the family of the Libnites, the family of the Hebronites, the family of the Mahlites, the family of the Mushites, the family of the Korahites. And Kohath was the father of Amram.

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:27:4 @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:27:5 @So Moses put their cause before the Lord.

bbe@Numbers:27:14 @Because in the waste land of Zin, when the people were angry, you and he went against my word and did not keep my name holy before their eyes, at the waters. (These are the waters of Meribah in Kadesh in the waste land of Zin.)

bbe@Numbers:29:8 @And give to the Lord a burned offering for a sweet smell; one ox, one male sheep, seven he-lambs of the first year: only those without any mark on them may be used:

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:30:9 @But an oath made by a widow or one who is no longer married to her husband, and every undertaking she has given, will have force.

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:30:13 @Every oath, and every undertaking which she gives, to keep herself from pleasure, may be supported or broken by her husband.

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:31:4 @From every tribe of Israel send a thousand to the war.

bbe@Numbers:31:5 @So from the thousands of Israel a thousand were taken from every tribe, twelve thousand men armed for war.

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:31:14 @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:31:30 @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:31:33 @And seventy-two thousand oxen,

bbe@Numbers:31:34 @And sixty-one thousand asses;

bbe@Numbers:31:35 @And thirty-two thousand persons, that is, women who had never had sex relations with a man.

bbe@Numbers:31:36 @And the half given as their part to the men who went to the war, was three hundred and thirty-seven thousand, five hundred sheep,

bbe@Numbers:31:38 @The number of oxen was thirty-six thousand, of which the Lord's part was seventy-two;

bbe@Numbers:31:39 @The number of asses was thirty thousand, five hundred, of which the Lord's part was sixty-one.

bbe@Numbers:31:40 @And the number of persons was sixteen thousand, of which the Lord's part was thirty-two persons.

bbe@Numbers:31:43 @(Now the people's half was three hundred and thirty-seven thousand, five hundred sheep,

bbe@Numbers:31:44 @And thirty-six thousand oxen,

bbe@Numbers:31:45 @And thirty thousand, five hundred asses,

bbe@Numbers:31:46 @And sixteen thousand persons;)

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:31:52 @And the gold which the captains of thousands and captains of hundreds gave, as an offering to be lifted up before the Lord, came to sixteen thousand, seven hundred and fifty shekels.

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:32:15 @For if you are turned away from him, he will send them wandering again in the waste land; and you will be the cause of the destruction of all this people.

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:32:32 @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:33:13 @And they went on from Dophkah, and put up their tents in Alush.

bbe@Numbers:33:14 @And they went on from Alush, and put up their tents in Rephidim, where there was no drinking-water for the people.

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:35:15 @For the children of Israel and for the man from another country who is living among them, these six towns are to be safe places, where anyone causing the death of another through error may go in flight.

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:35:20 @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:35:23 @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:35:28 @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:35:34 @Do not make unclean the land where you are living and in which is my House: for I the Lord am present among the children of Israel.

bbe@Numbers:36:6 @This is the order of the Lord about the daughters of Zelophehad: The Lord says, Let them take as their husbands whoever is most pleasing to them, but only among the family of their father's tribe.

bbe@Numbers:36:11 @For Mahlah, Tirzah, and Hoglah, and Milcah, and Noah, the daughters of Zelophehad, took as their husbands the sons of their father's brothers:

bbe@Deuteronomy:1:6 @The Lord our God said to us in Horeb, You have been long enough in this mountain:

bbe@Deuteronomy:1:11 @May the Lord, the God of your fathers, make you a thousand times greater in number than you are, and give you his blessing as he has said!

bbe@Deuteronomy:1:14 @And you made answer and said to me, It is good for us to do as you say.

bbe@Deuteronomy:1:15 @So I took the heads of your tribes, wise men and respected, and made them rulers over you, captains of thousands and captains of hundreds and captains of fifties and captains of tens, and overseers of your tribes.

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:1:22 @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:1:36 @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:1:41 @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: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:2:9 @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:2:14 @Thirty-eight years had gone by from the time when we came away from Kadesh-barnea till we went over the stream Zered; by that time all the generation of the men of war among us were dead, as the Lord had said.

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:2:25 @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:2:29 @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:2:32 @Then Sihon came out against us with all his people, to make an attack on us at Jahaz.

bbe@Deuteronomy:2:36 @From Aroer on the edge of the valley of the Arnon and from the town in the valley as far as Gilead, no town was strong enough to keep us out; the Lord our God gave them all into our hands:

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:3:26 @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:4:3 @Your eyes have seen what the Lord did because of Baal-peor: for destruction came from the Lord on all those among you who went after Baal-peor.

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:4:31 @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:4:37 @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:4:42 @To which anyone causing the death of his neighbour in error and not through hate, might go in flight; so that in one of these towns he might be kept from death:

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:5:5 @(I was between the Lord and you at that time, to make clear to you the word of the Lord: because, through fear of the fire, you did not go up the mountain;) saying,

bbe@Deuteronomy:5:6 @I am the Lord your God, who took you out of the land of Egypt, out of the prison-house.

bbe@Deuteronomy:5:10 @And I will have mercy through a thousand generations on those who have love for me and keep my laws.

bbe@Deuteronomy:5:11 @You are not to make use of the name of the Lord your God for an evil purpose; whoever takes the Lord's name on his lips for an evil purpose will be judged as a sinner by the Lord.

bbe@Deuteronomy:5:17 @Do not put anyone to death without cause.

bbe@Deuteronomy:5:21 @Or let your desire be turned to your neighbour's wife, or his house or his field or his man-servant or his woman-servant or his ox or his ass or anything which is your neighbour's.

bbe@Deuteronomy:5:24 @And said, The Lord has let us see his glory and his power, and his voice has come to us out of the fire: today we have seen that a man may go on living even after hearing the voice of God.

bbe@Deuteronomy:5:25 @Why then is death to be our fate? For if the voice of the Lord our God comes to us any more, death will overtake us, and we will be burned up in this great fire.

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: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:6:9 @Have them lettered on the pillars of your houses and over the doors of your towns.

bbe@Deuteronomy:6:11 @And houses full of good things not stored up by you, and places for storing water which you did not make, and vine-gardens and olive-trees not of your planting; and you have taken food and are full;

bbe@Deuteronomy:6:12 @Then take care that you keep your hearts true to the Lord, who took you out of the land of Egypt, out of the prison-house.

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:6:21 @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:6:22 @And the Lord did great signs and wonders against Egypt, and against Pharaoh and all his house, before our eyes:

bbe@Deuteronomy:6:23 @And he took us out from that place, guiding us here to give us this land, as he said in his oath to our fathers.

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:7:3 @Do not take wives or husbands from among them; do not give your daughters to their sons, or take their daughters for your sons.

bbe@Deuteronomy:7:7 @The Lord did not give you his love or take you for himself because you were more in number than any other people; for you were the smallest of the nations:

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:7:16 @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:7:19 @The great punishments which your eyes saw, and the signs and the wonders and the strong hand and the stretched-out arm, by which the Lord your God took you out: so will the Lord your God do to all the peoples who are the cause of your fears.

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:8:14 @Take care that your hearts are not lifted up in pride, giving no thought to the Lord your God who took you out of the land of Egypt, out of the prison-house;

bbe@Deuteronomy:8:20 @Like the nations which the Lord is cutting off before you, so you will be cut off; because you would not give ear to the voice of the Lord your God.

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:9:5 @Not for your righteousness or because your hearts are upright are you going in to take their land; but because of the evil-doing of these nations the Lord your God is driving them out from before you, and to give effect to his oath to your fathers, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.

bbe@Deuteronomy:9:6 @Be certain then that the Lord your God is not giving you this good land as a reward for your righteousness; for you are a stiff-necked people.

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:9:25 @So I went down on my face in prayer before the Lord for forty days and forty nights as I did at first; because the Lord had said that he would put an end to you.

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:10:18 @Judging uprightly in the cause of the widow and of the child who has no father, and giving food and clothing in his mercy to the man from a strange country.

bbe@Deuteronomy:11:19 @Teaching them to your children, and 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:11:20 @Writing them on the pillars of your houses and over the doors of your towns:

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:12:12 @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:12:20 @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:12:23 @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:12:31 @Do not so to the Lord your God: for everything which is disgusting to the Lord and hated by him they have done in honour of their gods: even burning their sons and daughters in the fire to their gods.

bbe@Deuteronomy:13:2 @And the sign or the wonder takes place, and he says to you, Let us go after other gods, which are strange to you, and give them worship;

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:13:6 @If your brother, the son of your mother, or your son or your daughter or the wife of your heart, or the friend who is as dear to you as your life, working on you secretly says to you, Let us go and give worship to other gods, strange to you and to your fathers;

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:13:13 @That good-for-nothing persons have gone out from among you, turning the people of their town from the right way and saying, Let us go and give worship to other gods, of whom you have no knowledge;

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:14:3 @No disgusting thing may be your food.

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:14:7 @But even among these, there are some which may not be used for food: such as the camel, the hare, and the coney, which are unclean to you, because, though their food comes back, the horn of their feet is not parted in two.

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:14:11 @All clean birds may be used for food.

bbe@Deuteronomy:14:19 @Every winged thing which goes flat on the earth is unclean to you and may not be used as food.

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:14:29 @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:15:6 @For the Lord your God will give you his blessing as he has said: you will let other nations have the use of your money, but you will not make use of theirs; you will be rulers over a number of nations, but they will not be your rulers.

bbe@Deuteronomy:15:8 @But let your hand be open to give him the use of whatever he is in need of.

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:15:16 @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:15:19 @All the first males to come to birth in your herd and your flock are to be holy to the Lord your God: the first birth of your ox is not to be used for work, the wool of your first lamb is not to be cut

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:15:22 @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:16:4 @For seven days let no leaven be used through all your land; and nothing of the flesh which is put to death in the evening of the first day is to be kept through the night till morning.

bbe@Deuteronomy:16:15 @Keep the feast to the Lord your God for seven days, in the place marked out by the Lord: because the blessing of the Lord your God will be on all the produce of your land and all the work of your hands, and you will have nothing but joy.

bbe@Deuteronomy:16:18 @You are to make judges and overseers in all your towns which the Lord your God gives you, for every tribe: and they are to be upright men, judging the people in righteousness.

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:17:8 @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:17:16 @And he is not to get together a great army of horses for himself, or make the people go back to Egypt to get horses for him: because the Lord has said, You will never again go back that way.

bbe@Deuteronomy:18:9 @When you have come into the land which the Lord your God is giving you, do not take as your example the disgusting ways of those nations.

bbe@Deuteronomy:18:10 @Let there not be seen among you anyone who makes his son or his daughter go through the fire, or anyone using secret arts, or a maker of strange sounds, or a reader of signs, or any wonder-worker,

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:18:12 @For all who do such things are disgusting to the Lord; and because of these disgusting things the Lord your God is driving them out before you.

bbe@Deuteronomy:18:14 @For these nations, whose land you are taking, give attention to readers of signs and to those using secret arts: but the Lord your God will not let you do so.

bbe@Deuteronomy:19:1 @When the nations, whose land the Lord your God is giving you, have been cut off by him, and you have taken their place and are living in their towns and in their houses;

bbe@Deuteronomy:19:4 @This is to be the rule for anyone who goes in flight there, after causing the death of his neighbour in error and not through hate;

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:19:11 @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:20:3 @Give ear, O Israel: today you are going forward to the fight; let your heart be strong; do not let uncontrolled fear overcome you because of 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:20:17 @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:20:18 @So that you may not take them as your example and do all the disgusting things which they do in the worship of their gods, so sinning against the Lord your God.

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:21:3 @And whichever town is nearest to the body, the responsible men of that town are to take from the herd a young cow which has never been used for work or put under the yoke;

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:21:12 @Then take her back to your house; and let her hair and her nails be cut;

bbe@Deuteronomy:21:13 @And let her take off the dress in which she was made prisoner and go on living in your house and weeping for her father and mother for a full month: and after that you may go in to her and be her husband and she will be your wife.

bbe@Deuteronomy:21:14 @But if you have no delight in her, you are to let her go wherever she will; you may not take a price for her as if she was your property, for you have made use of her for your pleasure

bbe@Deuteronomy:21:20 @And say to them, This son of ours is hard-hearted and uncontrolled, he will not give attention to us; he gives himself up to pleasure and strong drink.

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:22:5 @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:22:8 @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:22:19 @They will take from him a hundred shekels of silver, which are to be given to the father of the girl, because he has given an evil name to a virgin of Israel: she will go on being his wife, he may never put her away all his life.

bbe@Deuteronomy:22:21 @Then they are to make the girl come to the door of her father's house and she will be stoned to death by the men of the town, because she has done evil and put shame on Israel, by acting as a loose woman in her father's house: so you are to put away evil from among you.

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:22:29 @Then the man will have to give the virgin's father fifty shekels of silver and make her his wife, because he has put shame on her; he may never put her away all his life.

bbe@Deuteronomy:23:4 @Because they gave you no bread or water on your way, when you came out of Egypt: and they got Balaam, the son of Peor, from Pethor in Aram-naharaim to put curses on you.

bbe@Deuteronomy:23:5 @But the Lord your God would not give ear to Balaam, but let the curse be changed into a blessing to you, because of his love for you.

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:23:17 @No daughter of Israel is to let herself be used as a loose woman for a strange god, and no son of Israel is to give himself to a man.

bbe@Deuteronomy:23:18 @Do not take into the house of the Lord your God, as an offering for an oath, the price of a loose woman or the money given to one used for sex purposes in the worship of the gods: for these two things are disgusting to the Lord your God

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:24:7 @If a man takes by force one of his countrymen, the children of Israel, using him as his property or getting a price for him, that thief is to be put to death: so you are to put away evil from among you.

bbe@Deuteronomy:24:10 @If you let your brother have the use of anything which is yours, do not go into his house and take anything of his as a sign of his debt;

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:24:17 @Be upright in judging the cause of the man from a strange country and of him who has no father; do not take a widow's clothing on account of a debt:

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:25:10 @And his family will be named in Israel, The house of him whose shoe has been taken off.

bbe@Deuteronomy:25:11 @If two men are fighting, and the wife of one of them, coming to the help of her husband, takes the other by the private parts;

bbe@Deuteronomy:25:14 @Or in your house different measures, a great and a small.

bbe@Deuteronomy:25:16 @For all who do such things, and all whose ways are not upright, are disgusting to the Lord your God.

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:26:6 @And the Egyptians were cruel to us, crushing us under a hard yoke:

bbe@Deuteronomy:26:7 @And our cry went up to the Lord, the God of our fathers, and the Lord's ear was open to the voice of our cry, and his eyes took note of our grief and the crushing weight of our work:

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:26:13 @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:26:14 @No part of these things has been used for food in a time of weeping, or put away when I was unclean, or given for the dead: I have given ear to the voice of the Lord my God, and have done all you have given me orders to do.

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:27:5 @There you are to make an altar to the Lord your God, of stones on which no iron instrument has been used.

bbe@Deuteronomy:27:10 @For this cause you are to give ear to the voice of the Lord your God, and do his orders and his laws which I give you this day.

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:28:8 @The Lord will send his blessing on your store-houses and on everything to which you put your hand: his blessing will be on you in the land which the Lord your God is giving you.

bbe@Deuteronomy:28:12 @Opening his store-house in heaven, the Lord will send rain on your land at the right time, blessing all the work of your hands: other nations will make use of your wealth, and you will have no need of theirs.

bbe@Deuteronomy:28:20 @The Lord will send on you cursing and trouble and punishment in everything to which you put your hand, till sudden destruction overtakes you; because of your evil ways in which you have been false to me.

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:28:25 @The Lord will let you be overcome by your haters: you will go out against them one way, and you will go in flight before them seven ways: you will be the cause of fear among all the kingdoms of the earth.

bbe@Deuteronomy:28:29 @You will go feeling your way when the sun is high, like a blind man for whom all is dark, and nothing will go well for you: you will be crushed and made poor for ever, and you will have no saviour.

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:28:33 @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:28:42 @All your trees and the fruit of your land will be the locust's.

bbe@Deuteronomy:28:45 @And all these curses will come after you and overtake you, till your destruction is complete; because you did not give ear to the voice of the Lord your God, or keep his laws and his orders which he gave you:

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:28:53 @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:28:54 @That man among you who is soft and used to comfort will be hard and cruel to his brother, and to his dear wife, and to of those his children who are still living;

bbe@Deuteronomy:28:55 @And will not give to any of them the flesh of his children which will be his food because he has no other; in the cruel grip of your haters on all your towns.

bbe@Deuteronomy:28:56 @The most soft and delicate of your women, who would not so much as put her foot on the earth, so delicate is she, will be hard-hearted to her husband and to her son and to her daughter;

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:28:60 @He will send on you again all the diseases of Egypt, which were a cause of fear to you, and they will take you in their grip.

bbe@Deuteronomy:28:62 @And you will become a very small band, though your numbers were like the stars of heaven; because you did not give ear to the voice of the Lord your God.

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:28:67 @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:29:7 @When you came to this place, Sihon, king of Heshbon, and Og, king of Bashan, came out to make war against us and we overcame them:

bbe@Deuteronomy:29:17 @And you have seen their disgusting doings, and the images of wood and stone and silver and gold which were among them:)

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:31:18 @Truly, my face will be turned away from them in that day, because of all the evil they have done in going after other gods.

bbe@Deuteronomy:31:29 @For I am certain that after my death you will give yourselves up to sin, wandering from the way which I have given you; and evil will overtake you in the end, because you will do evil in the eyes of the Lord, moving him to wrath by the work of your hands.

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:32:16 @The honour which was his they gave to strange gods; by their disgusting ways he was moved to wrath.

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:32:30 @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:32:34 @Is not this among my secrets, kept safe in my store-house?

bbe@Deuteronomy:32:51 @Because of your sin against me before the children of Israel at the waters of Meribath Kadesh in the waste land of Zin; because you did not keep my name holy among the children of Israel.

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:33:17 @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:33:19 @They will send out the word for the people to come to the mountain, taking there the offerings of righteousness: for the store of the seas will be theirs, and the secret wealth of the sand.

bbe@Deuteronomy:33:21 @He kept for himself the first part, for his was the ruler's right: he put in force the righteousness of the Lord, and his decisions for Israel.

bbe@Joshua:1:16 @Then they said to Joshua in answer, Whatever you say to us we will do, and wherever you send us we will go.

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:2:3 @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:2:9 @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:2:11 @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:2:12 @So now, will you give me your oath by the Lord, that, because I have been kind to you, you will be kind to my father's house,

bbe@Joshua:2:13 @And that you will keep safe my father and mother and my brothers and sisters and all they have, so that death may not come on us?

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:2:15 @Then she let them down from the window by a cord, for the house where she was living was on the town wall.

bbe@Joshua:2:17 @And the men said to her, We will only be responsible for this oath which you have made us take,

bbe@Joshua:2:18 @If, when we come into the land, you put this cord of bright red thread in the window from which you let us down; and get your father and mother and your brothers and all your family into the house;

bbe@Joshua:2:19 @Then if anyone goes out of your house into the street, his blood will be on his head, we will not be responsible; but if any damage comes to anyone in the house, his blood will be on our heads.

bbe@Joshua:2:20 @But if you say anything about our business here, then we will be free from the oath you have made us take.

bbe@Joshua:2:24 @And they said to Joshua, Truly, the Lord has given all the land into our hands; and all the people of the land have become like water because of us.

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:3:10 @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: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:4:13 @About forty thousand armed for war went over before the Lord to the fight, to the lowlands of Jericho.

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:5:13 @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:6:1 @(Now Jericho was all shut up because of the children of Israel: there was no going out or coming in.)

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:6:19 @But all the silver and gold and the vessels of brass and iron are holy to the Lord: they are to come into the store-house of the Lord.

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:6:25 @But Joshua kept Rahab, the loose woman, and her father's family and all she had, from death, and so she got a living-place among the children of Israel to this day; because she kept safe the men whom Joshua had sent to make a search through 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:7:4 @So about three thousand of the people went up, and were sent in flight by the men of Ai.

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:7:12 @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:7:14 @So in the morning you are to come near, tribe by tribe; and the tribe marked out by the Lord is to come near, family by family; and the family marked out by the Lord is to come near, house by house; and the house marked out by the Lord is to come near, man by man.

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:7:18 @Then the house of Zabdi came forward man by man, and Achan, the son of Carmi, the son of Zabdi, the son of Zerah, of the tribe of Judah, was taken.

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:8:3 @So Joshua and the fighting-men got ready to go up against Ai; and Joshua took thirty thousand men of war, and sent them out by night.

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:8:6 @And they will come out after us, till we have got them away from the town; for they will say, They have gone in flight from us as before; so we will go in flight before them;

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:8:25 @On that day twelve thousand were put to death, men and women, all the people of Ai.

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:9:6 @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:9:9 @And they said to him, Your servants have come from a very far country, because of the name of the Lord your God: for the story of his great name, and of all he did in Egypt has come to our ears,

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:9:13 @And these wine-skins were new when we put the wine in them, and now they are cracked as you see; and our clothing and our shoes have become old because of our very long journey here.

bbe@Joshua:9:18 @And the children of Israel did not put them to death, because the chiefs of the people had taken an oath to them by the Lord, the God of Israel. And all the people made an outcry against the chiefs.

bbe@Joshua:9:20 @This is what we will do to them: we will not put them to death, for fear that wrath may come on us because of our oath to them

bbe@Joshua:9:22 @Then Joshua sent for them, and said to them, Why have you been false to us, saying, We are very far from you, when you are living among us?

bbe@Joshua:9:23 @Now because of this you are cursed, and you will for ever be our servants, cutting wood and getting water for the house of my God.

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:9:25 @And now we are in your hands: do to us whatever seems good and right to you.

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:10:3 @So Adoni-zedek, king of Jerusalem, sent to Hoham, king of Hebron, and to Piram, king of Jarmuth, and to Japhia, king of Lachish, and to Debir, king of Eglon, saying,

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:10:11 @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:10:23 @And they did so, and made those five kings come out of the hole to him, the king of Jerusalem, the king of Hebron, the king of Jarmuth, the king of Lachish, and the king of Eglon.

bbe@Joshua:10:42 @And all these kings and their land Joshua took at the same time, because the Lord, the God of Israel, was fighting for Israel.

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:11:6 @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:11:9 @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: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:12:10 @The king of Jerusalem, one; the king of Hebron, one;

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:14:9 @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:14:14 @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:15:8 @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:15:19 @And she said, Give me a blessing; because you have put me in dry south-land, now give me springs of water

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:17:1 @And this was the part marked out for the tribe of Manasseh, because he was the oldest son of Joseph. As for Machir, the oldest son of Manasseh, the father of Gilead, because he was a man of war he had Gilead and Bashan.

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:17:6 @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:17:16 @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:18:1 @And all the meeting of the children of Israel came together at Shiloh and put up the Tent of meeting there: and the land was crushed before them.

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:18:28 @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:19:5 @And Ziklag and Beth-marcaboth and Hazar-susah

bbe@Joshua:20:4 @And if anyone goes in flight to one of those towns, and comes into the public place of the town, and puts his cause before the responsible men of the town, they will take him into the town and give him a place among them where he may be safe.

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:20:6 @And he is to go on living in that town till he has to come before the meeting of the people to be judged; (till the death of him who is high priest at that time:) then the taker of life may come back to his town and to his house, to the town from which he had gone in flight.

bbe@Joshua:20:9 @These were the towns marked out for all the children of Israel and for the man from a strange country living among them, so that anyone causing the death of another in error, might go in flight there, and not be put to death by him who has the right of punishment for blood till he had come before the meeting of the people.

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:22:14 @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:22:18 @That now you are turned back from the Lord? and, because you are false to him today, tomorrow his wrath will be let loose on all the people 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:22:20 @Did not Achan, the son of Zerah, do wrong about the cursed thing, causing wrath to come on all the people of Israel? And not on him only came the punishment of death.

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:22:25 @For the Lord has made Jordan a line of division between us and you, the children of Reuben and the children of Gad; you have no part in the Lord: so your children will make our children give up fearing the Lord.

bbe@Joshua:22:26 @So we said, Let us now make an altar for ourselves, not for burned offerings or for the offerings of beasts:

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:22:31 @And Phinehas, the son of Eleazar the priest, said to the children of Reuben and the children of Gad and the children of Manasseh, Now we are certain that the Lord is among us, because you have not done this wrong against the Lord: and you have kept us from falling into the hands of the Lord.

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:23:7 @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:23:13 @Then you may be certain that the Lord your God will not go on driving these nations out from before you; but they will become a danger and a cause of sin to you, a whip for your sides and thorns in your eyes, till you are cut off from this good land which the Lord your God has given 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:24:15 @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:24:27 @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@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:1:4 @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:1:7 @And Adoni-zedek said, Seventy kings, whose thumbs and great toes had been cut off, got broken meat under my table: as I have done, so has God done to me in full. And they took him to Jerusalem, and he came to his end there.

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:1:15 @And she said to him, Give me a blessing; because you have put me in a dry south-land, now give me springs of water. So Caleb gave her the higher spring and the lower spring.

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:1:24 @And the watchers saw a man coming out of the town, and said to him, If you will make clear to us the way into the town, we will be kind to you.

bbe@Judges:2:3 @And so I have said, I will not send them out from before you; but they will be a danger to you, and their gods will be a cause of falling to you.

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: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:3:5 @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:3:8 @So the wrath of the Lord was burning against Israel, and he gave them up into the hands of Cushan-rishathaim, king of Mesopotamia; and the children of Israel were his servants for eight years.

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:3:12 @Then the children of Israel again did evil in the eyes of the Lord; and the Lord made Eglon, king of Moab, strong against Israel, because they had done evil in the Lord's eyes.

bbe@Judges:3:20 @Then Ehud came in to him while he was seated by himself in his summer-house. And Ehud said, I have a word from God for you. And he got up from his seat.

bbe@Judges:3:23 @Then Ehud went out into the covered way, shutting the doors of the summer-house on him and locking them.

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:3:29 @At that time they put about ten thousand men of Moab to the sword, every strong man and every man of war; not a man got away.

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:4:10 @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:4:14 @Then Deborah said to Barak, Up! for today the Lord has given Sisera into your hands: has not the Lord gone out before you? So Barak went down from Mount Tabor and ten thousand men after him.

bbe@Judges:5:2 @Because of the flowing hair of the fighters in Israel, because the people gave themselves freely, give praise to the Lord.

bbe@Judges:5:6 @In the days of Shamgar, the son of Anath, in the days of Jael, the highways were not used, and travellers went by side roads.

bbe@Judges:5:8 @They had no one to make arms, there were no more armed men in the towns; was there a body-cover or a spear to be seen among forty thousand in Israel?

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:5:23 @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:5:26 @She put out her hand to the tent-pin, and her right hand to the workman's hammer; and she gave Sisera a blow, crushing his head, wounding and driving through his brow.

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:6:5 @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:6:6 @And Israel was in great need because of Midian; and the cry of the children of Israel went up to the Lord.

bbe@Judges:6:7 @And when the cry of the children of Israel, because of Midian, came before the Lord,

bbe@Judges:6:8 @The Lord sent a prophet to the children of Israel, who said to them, The Lord the God of Israel, has said, I took you up from Egypt, out of the prison-house;

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:6:13 @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:6:15 @And he said to him, O Lord, how may I be the saviour of Israel? See, my family is the poorest in Manasseh, and I am the least in my father's house.

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:6:31 @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:6:32 @So that day he gave him the name of Jerubbaal, saying, Let Baal take up his cause against him because his altar has been broken down.

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:7:12 @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:7:25 @And they took the two chiefs of Midian, Oreb and Zeeb; and they put Oreb to death at the rock of Oreb, and Zeeb they put to death at the place of the grape-crushing in Zeeb, and they went after Midian; but the heads of Oreb and Zeeb they took across Jordan to Gideon.

bbe@Judges:8:1 @And the men of Ephraim came and said to him, Why did you not send for us when you went to war against Midian? And they said sharp and angry words to him.

bbe@Judges:8:7 @Then Gideon said, Because of this, when the Lord has given Zebah and Zalmunna into my hands, I will have you stretched on a bed of thorns of the waste land and on sharp stems, and have you crushed as grain is crushed on a grain-floor.

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:8:11 @And Gideon went up by the way used by the people living in tents on the east of Nobah and Jogbehah, and made an attack on the army when they had no thought of danger.

bbe@Judges:8:16 @Then he took the responsible men of the town and had them crushed on a bed of thorns and sharp stems.

bbe@Judges:8:20 @Then he said to Jether, his oldest son, Up! Put them to death. But the boy did not take out his sword, fearing because he was still a boy.

bbe@Judges:8:21 @Then Zebah and Zalmunna said, Up! Put an end to us yourself: for you have a man's strength. Then Gideon got up and put Zebah and Zalmunna to death and took the ornaments which were on their camels' necks.

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:8:26 @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:8:29 @And Jerubbaal, the son of Joash, went back to his house and was living there.

bbe@Judges:8:35 @And they were not kind to the house of Jerubbaal, that is, Gideon, in reward for all the good he had done to Israel.

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:9:5 @Then he went to his father's house at Ophrah, and put his brothers, the seventy sons of Jerubbaal, to death on the same stone; however, Jotham, the youngest, kept himself safe by going away to a secret place.

bbe@Judges:9:8 @One day the trees went out to make a king for themselves; and they said to the olive-tree, Be king over us.

bbe@Judges:9:10 @Then the trees said to the fig-tree, You come and be king over us.

bbe@Judges:9:12 @Then the trees said to the vine, You come and be king over us.

bbe@Judges:9:14 @Then all the trees said to the thorn, You come and be king over us.

bbe@Judges:9:16 @So now, if you have done truly and uprightly in making Abimelech king, and if you have done well to Jerubbaal and his house in reward for the work of his hands;

bbe@Judges:9:18 @And you have gone against my father's family this day, and have put to death his sons, even seventy men on one stone, and have made Abimelech, the son of his servant-wife, king over the townsmen of Shechem because he is your brother;)

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:9:33 @And in the morning, when the sun is up, get up early and make a rush on the town; and when he and his people come out against you, do to them whatever you have a chance to do.

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:9:46 @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:9:49 @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:9:53 @But a certain woman sent a great stone, such as is used for crushing grain, on to the head of Abimelech, cracking the bone.

bbe@Judges:9:54 @Then quickly crying out to his body-servant, he said to him, Take out your sword and put an end to me straight away, so that men may not say of me, His death was the work of a woman. So the young man put his sword through him, causing his death.

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:10:9 @And the children of Ammon went over Jordan, to make war against Judah and Benjamin and the house of Ephraim; and Israel was in great trouble

bbe@Judges:10:12 @And the Zidonians and Amalek and Midian crushing you down, and in answer to your cry did I not give you salvation from their hands?

bbe@Judges:10:15 @And the children of Israel said to the Lord, We are sinners; do to us whatever seems good to you: only give us salvation this day.

bbe@Judges:10:16 @So they put away the strange gods from among them, and became the Lord's servants; and his soul was angry because of the sorrows of Israel.

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:11:7 @But Jephthah said to the responsible men of Gilead, Did you not, in your hate for me, send me away from my father's house? Why do you come to me now when you are in trouble?

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:11:13 @And the king of the children of Ammon said to the men sent by Jephthah, Because Israel, when he came up out of Egypt, took away my land, from the Arnon as far as the Jabbok and as far as Jordan: so now, give me back those lands quietly.

bbe@Judges:11:24 @Do you not keep the lands of those whom Chemosh your god sends out from before you? So we will keep all the lands of those whom the Lord our God sends out from before us.

bbe@Judges:11:25 @What! are you any better than Balak, the son of Zippor, king of Moab? Did he ever take up a cause against Israel or make war against them?

bbe@Judges:11:31 @Then whoever comes out from the door of my house, meeting me when I come back in peace from the children of Ammon, will be the Lord's and I will give him as a burned offering.

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: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:12:2 @And Jephthah said to them, I and my people were in danger, and the children of Ammon were very cruel to us, and when I sent for you, you gave me no help against them.

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:13:6 @Then the woman came in, and said to her husband, A man came to me, and his form was like the form of a god, causing great fear; I put no question to him about where he came from, and he did not give me his name;

bbe@Judges:13:8 @Then Manoah made prayer to the Lord, and said, O Lord, let the man of God whom you sent come to us again and make clear to us what we are to do for the child who is to come.

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:13:10 @So the woman, running quickly, gave her husband the news, saying, I have seen the man who came to me the other day.

bbe@Judges:13:15 @And Manoah said to the angel of the Lord, Now let us keep you while we make ready a young goat for you

bbe@Judges:13:23 @But his wife said to him, If the Lord was purposing our death, he would not have taken our burned offering and our meal offering, or have given us such orders about the child.

bbe@Judges:14:5 @Then Samson went down to Timnah (and his father and his mother,) and came to the vine-gardens of Timnah; and a young lion came rushing out at 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:14:17 @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:14:19 @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:15:6 @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:15:8 @And he made an attack on them, driving them in uncontrolled flight, and causing great destruction; then he went away to his safe place in the crack of the rock at Etam.

bbe@Judges:15:10 @And the men of Judah said, Why have you come up against us? And they said, We have come up to take Samson, and to do to him as he has done to us.

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:16:5 @And the chiefs of the Philistines came up to her, and said to her, Make use of your power over him and see what is the secret of his great strength, and how we may get the better of him, and put bands on him, so that we may make him feeble; and every one of us will give you eleven hundred shekels of silver.

bbe@Judges:16:11 @And he said to her, If they only put round me new thick cords which have never been used, then I will become feeble and will be like any other man.

bbe@Judges:16:20 @Then she said, The Philistines are on you, Samson. And awaking from his sleep, he said, I will go out as at other times, shaking myself free. But he was not conscious that the Lord had gone 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:16:24 @And when the people saw him, they gave praise to their god; for they said, Our god has given into our hands the one who was fighting against us, who made our country waste, and who put great numbers of us to death.

bbe@Judges:16:25 @Now when their hearts were full of joy, they said, Send for Samson to make sport for us. And they sent for Samson out of the prison-house, and he made sport before them; and they put him between the pillars.

bbe@Judges:16:26 @And Samson said to the boy who took him by the hand, Let me put my hand on the pillars supporting the house, so that I may put my back against them.

bbe@Judges:16:27 @Now the house was full of men and women; and all the lords of the Philistines were there; and about three thousand men and women were on the roof, looking on while Samson made sport.

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:17:4 @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:17:8 @And he went away from the town of Beth-lehem-judah, looking for somewhere to make his living-place; and on his journey he came to the hill-country of Ephraim, to the house of Micah.

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: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:18:5 @Then they said, Do get directions from God for us, to see if the journey on which we are going will have a good outcome.

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:18:13 @From there they went on to the hill-country of Ephraim and came to the house of Micah.

bbe@Judges:18:14 @Then the five men who had gone to make a search through the country of Laish, said to their brothers, Have you knowledge that in these houses there is an ephod and family gods and a pictured image and a metal image? So now you see what to do.

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:18:18 @And when they went into Micah's house and took out the pictured image and the ephod and the family gods and the metal image, the priest said to them, What are you doing?

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:18:22 @When they had gone some way from the house of Micah, the men from the houses near Micah's house came together and overtook the children of Dan,

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:18:26 @Then the children of Dan went on their way; and when Micah saw that they were stronger than he, he went back to his house.

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:18:31 @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:19:2 @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:19:9 @And when they got up to go away, his father-in-law, the girl's father, said to him, Now evening is coming on, so do not go tonight; see, the day is almost gone; take your rest here and let your heart be glad, and tomorrow early, go on your way back to your house.

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:19:13 @And he said to his servant, Come, let us go on to one of these places, stopping for the night in Gibeah or Ramah.

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:19:18 @And he said to him, We are on our way from Beth-lehem-judah to the inmost parts of the hill-country of Ephraim: I came from there and went to Beth-lehem-judah: now I am on my way back to my house, but no man will take me into his house.

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:19:21 @So he took them into his house and gave the asses food; and after washing their feet they took food and drink.

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:19:23 @So the man, the master of the house, went out to them, and said, No, my brothers, do not this evil thing; this man has come into my house, and you are not to do him this wrong.

bbe@Judges:19:25 @But the men would not give ear to him: so the man took his woman and sent her out to them; and they took her by force, using her for their pleasure all night till the morning; and when dawn came they let her go.

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:19:28 @And he said to her, Get up and let us be going; but there was no answer; so he took her up and put her on the ass, and went on his way and came to his house.

bbe@Judges:19:29 @And when he had come to his house, he got his knife, and took the woman, cutting her up bone by bone into twelve parts, which he sent through all Israel.

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:20:8 @Then all the people got up as one man and said, Not one of us will go to his tent or go back to his house:

bbe@Judges:20:10 @And we will take ten men out of every hundred, through all the tribes of Israel, a hundred out of every thousand, a thousand out of every ten thousand, to get food for the people, so that they may give to Gibeah of Benjamin the right punishment for the act of shame they have done in 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:20:17 @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:20:21 @Then the children of Benjamin came out from Gibeah, cutting down twenty-two thousand of the Israelites that day.

bbe@Judges:20:25 @And the second day Benjamin went out against them from Gibeah, cutting down eighteen thousand men of the children of Israel, all swordsmen.

bbe@Judges:20:32 @And the children of Benjamin said, They are giving way before us as at first. But the children of Israel said, Let us go in flight and get them away from the town, into the highways.

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:20:34 @And they came in front of Gibeah, ten thousand of the best men in all Israel, and the fighting became more violent; but the children of Benjamin were not conscious that evil was coming on them.

bbe@Judges:20:35 @Then the Lord sent sudden fear on Benjamin before Israel; and that day the children of Israel put to death twenty-five thousand, one hundred men of Benjamin, all of them swordsmen.

bbe@Judges:20:37 @And the watchers, rushing on Gibeah and overrunning it, put all the town to the sword without mercy.

bbe@Judges:20:39 @The men of Israel were to make a turn about in the fight. And Benjamin had overcome and put to death about thirty of the men of Israel, and were saying, Certainly they are falling back before us as in the first fight.

bbe@Judges:20:43 @And crushing Benjamin down, they went after them, driving them from Nohah as far as the east side of Gibeah.

bbe@Judges:20:44 @Eighteen thousand men of Benjamin came to their death, all strong men of war.

bbe@Judges:20:45 @And turning, they went in flight to the rock of Rimmon in the waste land: and on the highways five thousand of them were cut off by the men of Israel, who, pushing on hard after them to Geba, put to death two thousand more.

bbe@Judges:20:46 @So twenty-five thousand of the swordsmen of Benjamin came to their end that day, all strong men of war.

bbe@Judges:21:1 @Now the men of Israel had taken an oath in Mizpah, saying, Not one of us will give his daughter as a wife to Benjamin.

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:21:15 @And the people were moved with pity for Benjamin, because the Lord had let his wrath loose on the tribes of Israel.

bbe@Judges:21:22 @And when their fathers or their brothers come and make trouble, you are to say to them, Give them to us as an act of grace; for we did not take them as wives for ourselves in war; and if you yourselves had given them to us you would have been responsible for the broken oath.

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:1:8 @And Naomi said to her two daughters-in-law, Go back to your mothers' houses: may the Lord be good to you as you have been good to the dead and to me:

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:1:11 @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:1:12 @Go back, my daughters, and go on your way; I am so old now that I may not have another husband. If I said, I have hopes, if I had a husband tonight, and might have sons,

bbe@Ruth:1:13 @Would you keep yourselves till they were old enough? would you keep from having husbands for them? No, my daughters; but I am very sad for you that the hand of the Lord is against me.

bbe@Ruth:2:1 @And Naomi had a relation of her husband, a man of wealth, of the family of Elimelech; and his name was Boaz.

bbe@Ruth:2:11 @And Boaz answering said to her, I have had news of everything you have done for your mother-in-law after the death of your husband; how you went away from your father and mother and the land of your birth, and came to a people who are strange to you.

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: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@1Samuel:1:6 @And the other wife did everything possible to make her unhappy, because the Lord had not let her have children;

bbe@1Samuel:1:7 @And year by year, whenever she went up to the house of the Lord, she kept on attacking her, so that Hannah gave herself up to weeping and would take no food.

bbe@1Samuel:1:8 @Then her husband Elkanah said to her, Hannah, why are you weeping? and why are you taking no food? why is your heart troubled? am I not more to you than ten sons?

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:1:22 @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:2:1 @And Hannah, in prayer before the Lord, said, My heart is glad in the Lord, my horn is lifted up in the Lord: my mouth is open wide over my haters; because my joy is in your salvation.

bbe@1Samuel:2:7 @The Lord gives wealth and takes a man's goods from him: crushing men down and again lifting them up;

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:2:11 @Then Elkanah went to Ramah to his house. And the child became the servant of the Lord under the direction of Eli the priest.

bbe@1Samuel:2:18 @But Samuel did the work of the Lord's house, while he was a child, dressed in a linen ephod.

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:2:20 @And every year Eli gave Elkanah and his wife a blessing, saying, May the Lord give you offspring by this woman in exchange for the child you have given to the Lord. And they went back to their house.

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:2:27 @And a man of God came to Eli and said to him, The Lord says, Did I let myself be seen by your father's people when they were in Egypt, servants in Pharaoh's house?

bbe@1Samuel:3:13 @And you are to say to him that I will send punishment on his family for ever, for the sin which he had knowledge of; because his sons have been cursing God and he had no control over them.

bbe@1Samuel:3:15 @And Samuel kept where he was, not moving till the time came for opening the doors of the house of God in the morning. And fear kept him from giving Eli an account of his vision.

bbe@1Samuel:4:2 @And the Philistines put their forces in order against Israel, and the fighting was hard, and Israel was overcome by the Philistines, who put to the sword about four thousand of their army in the field.

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?

bbe@1Samuel:4:8 @Trouble is ours! Who will give us salvation from the hands of these great gods? These are the gods who sent all sorts of blows on the Egyptians in the waste land.

bbe@1Samuel:4:10 @So the Philistines went to the fight, and Israel was overcome, and every man went in flight to his tent: and great was the destruction, for thirty thousand footmen of Israel were put to the sword

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:4:21 @And she gave the child the name of Ichabod, saying, The glory has gone from Israel: because the ark of God was taken and because of her father-in-law and her husband.

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:5:5 @So to this day no priest of Dagon, or any who come into Dagon's house, will put his foot on the doorstep of the house of Dagon in Ashdod.

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:5:10 @So they sent the ark of God to Ekron. And when the ark of God came to Ekron, the people of the town made an outcry, saying, They have sent the ark of the God of Israel to us for the destruction of us and of our people.

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:6:4 @Then they said, What sin-offering are we to send to him? And they said, Five gold images of the growths caused by your disease and five gold mice, one for every lord of the Philistines: for the same disease came on you and on your lords.

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:6:20 @And the men of Beth-shemesh said, Who is able to keep his place before the Lord, this holy God? and to whom may he go from us?

bbe@1Samuel:7:1 @So the men of Kiriath-jearim came and took the ark of the Lord to the house of Abinadab in Gibeah, and they made his son Eleazar holy and put the ark in his care.

bbe@1Samuel:7:8 @And the children of Israel said to Samuel, Go on crying to the Lord our God for us to make us safe from the hands of the Philistines.

bbe@1Samuel:7:17 @And his base was at Ramah, where his house was; there he was judge of Israel and there he made an altar to the Lord.

bbe@1Samuel:8:5 @And said to him, See now, you are old, and your sons do not go in your ways: give us a king now to be our judge, so that we may be like the other nations.

bbe@1Samuel:8:6 @But Samuel was not pleased when they said to him, Give us a king to be our judge. And Samuel made prayer to the Lord.

bbe@1Samuel:8:9 @Give ear now to their voice: but make a serious protest to them, and give them a picture of the sort of king who will be their ruler.

bbe@1Samuel:8:12 @And he will make them captains of thousands and of fifties; some he will put to work ploughing and cutting his grain and making his instruments of war and building his war-carriages.

bbe@1Samuel:8:18 @Then you will be crying out because of your king whom you have taken for yourselves; but the Lord will not give you an answer in that day

bbe@1Samuel:8:19 @But the people gave no attention to the voice of Samuel; and they said, No, but we will have a king over us,

bbe@1Samuel:8:20 @So that we may be like the other nations, and so that our king may be our judge and go out before us to war.

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:9:8 @But the servant said in answer, I have here a fourth part of a shekel of silver: I will give that to the man of God, and he will give us directions about our way.

bbe@1Samuel:9:9 @(In the past in Israel, when a man went to get directions from God, he said, Come let us go to the Seer, for he who now is named Prophet was in those days given the name of Seer.)

bbe@1Samuel:9:10 @Then Saul said to his servant, You have said well; come, let us go. So they went to the town where the man of God was.

bbe@1Samuel:9:18 @Then Saul came up to Samuel in the doorway of the town and said, Give me directions, if you will be so good, to the house of the seer.

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:9:27 @And on their way down to the end of the town, Samuel said to Saul, Give your servant orders to go on in front of us, (so he went on,) but you keep here, so that I may give you the word of God.

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:10:13 @Then going away from the prophets, he came to the house.

bbe@1Samuel:10:16 @And Saul, answering him, said, He gave us word that the asses had come back. But he said nothing to him of Samuel's words about the kingdom.

bbe@1Samuel:10:19 @But today you are turned away from your God, who himself has been your saviour from all your troubles and sorrows; and you have said to him, Put a king over us. So now, take your places before the Lord by your tribes and by your thousands.

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:11:3 @Then the responsible men of Jabesh said to him, Give us seven days, so that we may send men to every part of Israel: and then, if no one comes to our help, we will come out to you.

bbe@1Samuel:11:8 @And he had them numbered in Bezek: the children of Israel were three hundred thousand, and the men of Judah thirty thousand.

bbe@1Samuel:11:10 @So the men of Jabesh said, Tomorrow we will come out to you, and you may do to us whatever seems good to you.

bbe@1Samuel:11:14 @Then Samuel said to the people, Come, let us go to Gilgal and there make the kingdom strong in the hands of Saul.

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?

bbe@1Samuel:12:4 @And they said, You have never been untrue to us or cruel to us; you have taken nothing from any man.

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:12:8 @When Jacob and his sons had come into Egypt, and were crushed by the Egyptians, the prayers of your fathers came up to the Lord, and the Lord sent Moses and Aaron, who took your fathers out of Egypt, and he put them into this place.

bbe@1Samuel:12:10 @Then crying out to the Lord, they said, We have done evil, because we have been turned away from the Lord, worshipping the Baals and the Astartes: but now, make us safe from those who are against us and we will be your servants.

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:12:22 @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: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:13:5 @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:13:11 @And Samuel said, What have you done? And Saul said, Because I saw that the people were going away from me, and you had not come at the time which had been fixed, and the Philistines had come together at Michmash;

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: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:14:6 @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:14:8 @Then Jonathan said, Now we will go over to these men and let them see us.

bbe@1Samuel:14:9 @If they say to us, Keep quiet where you are till we come to you; then we will keep our places and not go up to them.

bbe@1Samuel:14:10 @But if they say, Come up to us; then we will go up, for the Lord has given them into our hands: and this will be the sign to us.

bbe@1Samuel:14:12 @And the armed men of the force gave Jonathan and his servant their answer, saying, Come up here to us, and we will let you see something. Then Jonathan said to his servant, Come up after me: for the Lord has given them up into the hands of Israel.

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:14:24 @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:14:29 @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:14:36 @And Saul said, Let us go down after the Philistines by night, attacking them till the morning, till there is not a man of them living. And they said, Do whatever seems right to you. Then the priest said, Let us come near to God.

bbe@1Samuel:14:38 @And Saul said, Come near, all you chiefs of the people, and let us get word from God and see in whom is this sin today.

bbe@1Samuel:15:4 @And Saul sent for the people and had them numbered in Telaim, two hundred thousand footmen and ten thousand men of Judah.

bbe@1Samuel:15:9 @But Saul and the people did not put Agag to death, and they kept the best of the sheep and the oxen and the fat beasts and the lambs, and whatever was good, not desiring to put them to the curse: but everything which was bad and of no use they put to the curse.

bbe@1Samuel:15:23 @For to go against his orders is like the sin of those who make use of secret arts, and pride is like giving worship to images. Because you have put away from you the word of the Lord, he has put you from your place as king.

bbe@1Samuel:15:24 @And Saul said to Samuel, Great is my sin: for I have gone against the orders of the Lord and against your words: because, fearing the people, I did what they said.

bbe@1Samuel:15:34 @Then Samuel went to Ramah; and Saul went up to his house in Gibeah, in the land of Saul.

bbe@1Samuel:16:7 @But the Lord said to Samuel, Do not take note of his face or how tall he is, because I will not have him: for the Lord's view is not man's; man takes note of the outer form, but the Lord sees the heart.

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:16:23 @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:17:5 @And he had a head-dress of brass on his head, and he was dressed in a coat of metal, the weight of which was five thousand shekels of brass.

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:17:18 @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:17:32 @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:17:39 @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:17:40 @Then he took his stick in his hand, and got five smooth stones from the bed of the stream and put them in a bag such as is used by sheep-keepers; and in his hand was a leather band used for sending stones: and so he went in the direction of the Philistine.

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:17:54 @And David took the head of the Philistine to Jerusalem, but the metal war-dress and the arms he put in his tent.

bbe@1Samuel:18:2 @And that day Saul took David and would not let him go back to his father's house.

bbe@1Samuel:18:3 @Then Jonathan and David made an agreement together, because of Jonathan's love for David.

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:18:7 @And the women, answering one another in their song, said, Saul has put to death his thousands and David his tens of thousands.

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:18:10 @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:18:13 @So Saul sent him away, and made him a captain over a thousand; and he went about his business before the people.

bbe@1Samuel:18:21 @And Saul said, I will give her to him, so that she may be a cause of danger to him, and so that the hands of the Philistines may be against him. So Saul said to David, Today you are to become my son-in-law for the second time.

bbe@1Samuel:19:4 @And Jonathan gave his father Saul a good account of David, and said to him, Let not the king do wrong against his servant, against David; because he has done you no wrong, and all his acts have had a good outcome for you:

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:19:8 @And there was war again: and David went out fighting the Philistines, causing great destruction among them; and they went in flight before him.

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:19:11 @Then in that night Saul sent men to David's house to keep watch on him so as to put him to death in the morning: and David's wife Michal said to him, If you do not go away to a safe place tonight you will be put to death in the morning.

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:19:16 @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:20:11 @And Jonathan said to David, Come, let us go out into the country. And the two of them went out together into the open country.

bbe@1Samuel:20:17 @And Jonathan again took an oath to David, because of his love for him: for David was as dear to him as his very soul.

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:20:34 @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:21:2 @And David said to Ahimelech the priest, The king has given me orders and has said to me, Say nothing to anyone about the business on which I am sending you and the orders I have given you: and a certain place has been fixed to which the young men are to go.

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:21:8 @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:21:11 @And the servants of Achish said to him, Is not this David, the king of the land? did they not make songs about him in their dances, saying, Saul has put to death thousands, and David tens of thousands?

bbe@1Samuel:21:15 @Are there not enough unbalanced men about me, that you have let this person come and do such tricks before me? is such a man to come into my house?

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:22:14 @Then Ahimelech answering said to the king, Who among all your servants is so true to you as David, who is the king's son-in-law, and is a captain of your armed men, and has a place of honour in your house?

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: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:23:18 @And the two of them made an agreement before the Lord: and David went on living in Horesh, and Jonathan went back to his house

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:24:2 @Then Saul took three thousand of the best men out of all Israel, and went in search of David and his men on the rocks of the mountain goats.

bbe@1Samuel:24:15 @So let the Lord be judge, and give a decision between me and you, and see and give support to my cause, and keep me from falling into your hands.

bbe@1Samuel:24:18 @And you have made clear to me how good you have been to me today: because, when the Lord gave me up into your hands, you did not put me to death.

bbe@1Samuel:24:22 @And David gave Saul his oath. And Saul went back to his house; but David and his men went up to their safe place.

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:25:2 @Now there was a man in Maon whose business was in Carmel; he was a great man and had three thousand sheep and a thousand goats: and he was cutting the wool of his sheep in Carmel.

bbe@1Samuel:25:6 @And say this to my brother, May all be well for you: peace be to you and your house and all you have.

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:25:15 @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:25:19 @And she said to her young men, Go on in front of me and I will come after you. But she said nothing to her husband Nabal.

bbe@1Samuel:25:21 @Now David had said, What was the use of my taking care of this man's goods in the waste land, so that there was no loss of anything which was his? he has only given me back evil for good.

bbe@1Samuel:25:28 @And may the sin of your servant have forgiveness: for the Lord will certainly make your family strong, because my lord is fighting in the Lord's war; and no evil will be seen in you all your days.

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:25:34 @For truly, by the living Lord, the God of Israel, who has kept me from doing you evil, if you had not been so quick in coming to me and meeting me, by dawn there would not have been in Nabal's house so much as one male living.

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:25:36 @And Abigail went back to Nabal; and he was feasting in his house like a king; and Nabal's heart was full of joy, for he had taken much wine; so she said nothing to him till dawn came.

bbe@1Samuel:25:39 @And David, hearing that Nabal was dead, said, May the Lord be praised, who has taken up my cause against Nabal for the shame which he put on me, and has kept back his servant from evil, and has sent on Nabal's head the reward of his evil-doing. And David sent word to Abigail, desiring to take her as his wife.

bbe@1Samuel:25:40 @And when David's servants came to Carmel, to Abigail, they said to her, David has sent us to you to take you to him as his 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:26:11 @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:26:16 @What you have done is not good. By the living Lord, death is the right fate for you, because you have not kept watch over your lord, the man on whom the Lord has put the holy oil. Now see, where is the king's spear, and the vessel of water which was by his head?

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:26:21 @Then Saul said, I have done wrong: come back to me, David my son: I will do you no more wrong, because my life was dear to you today truly, I have been foolish and my error is very great.

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: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:28:9 @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:28:18 @Because you did not do what the Lord said, and did not give effect to his burning wrath against Amalek. So the Lord has done this thing to you today.

bbe@1Samuel:28:20 @Then Saul went down flat on the earth, and was full of fear because of Samuel's words: and there was no strength in him, for he had taken no food all that day or all that night.

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: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:29:4 @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:29:5 @Is this not David, who was named in their songs, when in the dance they said to one another, Saul has put to death thousands, and David tens of thousands?

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: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:30:13 @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:30:21 @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:30:23 @Then David said, You are not to do this, my brothers, after what the Lord has given us, who has kept us safe and given up the band which came against us into our hands.

bbe@1Samuel:31:10 @His war-dress they put in the house of Astarte; and his body was fixed on the wall of Beth-shan.

bbe@2Samuel:1:10 @So I put my foot on him and gave him his death-blow, because I was certain that he would not go on living after his fall: and I took the crown from his head and the band from his arm, and I have them here for my lord.

bbe@2Samuel:1:12 @And till evening they gave themselves to sorrow and weeping, and took no food, weeping for Saul and for Jonathan, his son, and for the people of the Lord and for the men of Israel; because they had come to their end by the sword.

bbe@2Samuel:1:22 @From the blood of the dead, from the fat of the strong, the bow of Jonathan was not turned back, the sword of Saul did not come back unused.

bbe@2Samuel:2:5 @And David sent to the men of Jabesh-gilead and said to them, May the Lord give you his blessing, because you have done this kind act to Saul your lord, and have put his body to rest!

bbe@2Samuel:2:6 @May the Lord be good and true to you: and I myself will see that your kind act is rewarded, because you have done this thing.

bbe@2Samuel:2:14 @And Abner said to Joab, Let the young men give a test of their strength before us. And Joab said, Let them do so.

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:3:15 @So Ish-bosheth sent and took her from her husband Paltiel, the son of Laish.

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:3:27 @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:3:30 @So Joab and Abishai his brother put Abner to death, because he had put to death their brother Asahel in the fight at Gibeon.

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:4:7 @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:4:11 @How much more, when evil men have put an upright person to death, in his house, sleeping on his bed, will I take payment from you for his blood, and have you cut off from the earth?

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:5:5 @Ruling over Judah in Hebron for seven years and six months, and in Jerusalem, over all Israel and Judah, for thirty-three years.

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:5:11 @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:5:13 @And David took more women and wives in Jerusalem, after he had come from Hebron: and he had more sons and daughters.

bbe@2Samuel:5:14 @These are the names of those whose birth took place in Jerusalem: Shammua and Shobab and Nathan and Solomon

bbe@2Samuel:5:20 @And David went to Baal-perazim, and overcame them there; and he said, The Lord has let the forces fighting against me be broken before me as a wall is broken by rushing waters. So that place was named Baal-perazim.

bbe@2Samuel:6:1 @And David got together all the fighting-men of Israel to the number of thirty thousand;

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:6:7 @And the wrath of the Lord, burning against Uzzah, sent destruction on him because he had put his hand on the ark, and death came to him there by the ark of God.

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:6:19 @And he gave to every man and woman among all the people, among all the masses of Israel, a cake of bread and a measure of wine and a cake of dry grapes. Then all the people went away, every man to his house.

bbe@2Samuel:7:1 @Now when the king was living in his house, and the Lord had given him rest from war on every side;

bbe@2Samuel:7:2 @The king said to Nathan the prophet, See now, I am living in a house of cedar, but the ark of God is housed inside the curtains of a tent.

bbe@2Samuel:7:5 @Go and say to my servant David, The Lord says, Are you to be the builder of a house, a living-place for me?

bbe@2Samuel:7:6 @For from the day when I took the children of Israel up out of Egypt till this day, I have had no house, but have gone from place to place in a tent.

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:7:13 @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:7:21 @Because of your word and from your heart, you have done all this great work, and let your servant see it.

bbe@2Samuel:8:4 @And David took from him one thousand, seven hundred horsemen and twenty thousand footmen: and David had the leg-muscles of the horses cut, only keeping enough of them for a hundred war-carriages.

bbe@2Samuel:8:5 @And when the Aramaeans of Damascus came to the help of Hadadezer, king of Zobah, David put to the sword twenty-two thousand of the Aramaeans.

bbe@2Samuel:8:6 @And David put armed forces in Aram of Damascus: and the Aramaeans became servants to David and gave him offerings. And the Lord made David overcome wherever he went.

bbe@2Samuel:8:7 @And David took their gold body-covers from the servants of Hadadezer and took them to Jerusalem.

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:8:13 @And David got great honour for himself, when he came back, by the destruction of Edom in the valley of Salt, to the number of eighteen thousand men.

bbe@2Samuel:9:1 @And David said, Is there still anyone of Saul's family living, so that I may be a friend to him, because of Jonathan?

bbe@2Samuel:9:4 @And the king said to him, Where is he? And Ziba said to the king, He is in the house of Machir, the son of Ammiel, in Lo-debar.

bbe@2Samuel:9:5 @Then King David sent, and had him taken from Lo-debar, from the house of Machir, the son of Ammiel.

bbe@2Samuel:9:7 @And David said to him, Have no fear: for truly I will be good to you, because of your father Jonathan, and I will give back to you all the land which was Saul's; and you will have a place at my table at all times.

bbe@2Samuel:9:12 @And Mephibosheth had a young son named Mica. And all the people living in the house of Ziba were servants to Mephibosheth.

bbe@2Samuel:9:13 @So Mephibosheth went on living in Jerusalem; for he took all his meals at the king's table; and he had not the use of his feet.

bbe@2Samuel:10:6 @And when the children of Ammon saw that they had made themselves hated by David, they sent to the Aramaeans of Beth-rehob and Zobah, and got for payment twenty thousand footmen, and they got from the king of Maacah a thousand men, and from Tob twelve thousand.

bbe@2Samuel:10:12 @Take heart, and let us be strong for our people and for the towns of our God, and may the Lord do what seems good to him.

bbe@2Samuel:10:14 @And when the children of Ammon saw the flight of the Aramaeans, they themselves went in flight from Abishai, and came into the town. So Joab went back from fighting the children of Ammon and came to Jerusalem.

bbe@2Samuel:10:18 @And the Aramaeans went in flight before Israel; and David put to the sword the men of seven hundred Aramaean war-carriages and forty thousand footmen, and Shobach, the captain of the army, was wounded, and came to his death there.

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:11:2 @Now one evening, David got up from his bed, and while he was walking on the roof of the king's house, he saw from there a woman bathing; and the woman was very beautiful.

bbe@2Samuel:11:4 @And David sent and took her; and she came to him, and he took her to his bed: (for she had been made clean;) then she went back to her house.

bbe@2Samuel:11:8 @And David said to Uriah, Go down to your house and let your feet be washed. And Uriah went away from the king's house, and an offering from the king was sent after him.

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:11:10 @And when word was given to David that Uriah had not gone down to his house, David said to Uriah, Have you not come from a journey? why did you not go down to your 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:11:12 @And David said to Uriah, Be here today, and after that I will let you go. So Uriah was in Jerusalem that day and the day after.

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:11:23 @And the man said to David, Truly the men got the better of us, and came out against us into the open country, but we sent them back to the very doors of the town.

bbe@2Samuel:11:26 @And when the wife of Uriah had news that her husband was dead, she gave herself up to weeping for 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:12:4 @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:12:10 @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:12:14 @But still, because you have had no respect for the Lord, death will certainly overtake the child who has newly come to birth.

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:12:31 @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:13:2 @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:13:7 @Then David sent to the house for Tamar and said, Go now to your brother Amnon's house and get a meal for him.

bbe@2Samuel:13:8 @So Tamar went to her brother Amnon's house; and he was in bed. And she took paste and made cakes before his eyes, cooking them over the fire.

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:13:19 @And Tamar, in her grief, put dust on her head; and she put her hand on her head and went away crying loudly.

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:13:22 @But Absalom said nothing to his brother Amnon, good or bad: for he was full of hate for him, because he had taken his sister Tamar by force.

bbe@2Samuel:13:25 @And the king said to Absalom, No, my son, let us not all go, or the number will be over-great for you. And he made his request again, but he would not go, but he gave him his blessing.

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:14:2 @And Joab sent to Tekoa and got from there a wise woman, and said to her, Now make yourself seem like one given up to grief, and put on the clothing of sorrow, not using any sweet oil for your body, but looking like one who for a long time has been weeping for the dead:

bbe@2Samuel:14:5 @And the king said to her, What is your trouble? And her answer was, Truly I am a widow, and my husband is dead.

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:14:8 @And the king said to the woman, Go to your house and I will give orders about this.

bbe@2Samuel:14:13 @And the woman said, Why have you had such a thought about the people of God? (for in saying these very words the king has put himself in the wrong because he has not taken back the one whom he sent far away.)

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:14:20 @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:14:22 @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:14:24 @And the king said, Let him go to his house, but let him not see my face. So Absalom went back to his house and did not see the face of the king.

bbe@2Samuel:14:26 @And when he had his hair cut, (which he did at the end of every year, because of the weight of his hair;) the weight of the hair was two hundred shekels by the king's weight.

bbe@2Samuel:14:28 @For two full years Absalom was living in Jerusalem without ever seeing the face of the king.

bbe@2Samuel:14:31 @Then Joab came to Absalom in his house and said to him, Why have your servants put my field on fire?

bbe@2Samuel:15:2 @And Absalom got up early, morning after morning, and took his place at the side of the public meeting-place: and when any man had a cause which had to come to the king to be judged, then Absalom, crying out to him, said, What is your town? and he would say, Your servant is of one of the tribes of Israel.

bbe@2Samuel:15:3 @And Absalom would say to him, See, your cause is true and right; but no man has been named by the king to give you a hearing.

bbe@2Samuel:15:4 @And more than this, Absalom said, If only I was made judge in the land, so that every man who has any cause or question might come to me, and I would give a right decision for him!

bbe@2Samuel:15:6 @And this Absalom did to everyone in Israel who came to the king to have his cause judged: so Absalom, like a thief, took away the hearts of the men of Israel.

bbe@2Samuel:15:8 @For while I was living in Geshur in Aram, your servant made an oath, saying, If ever the Lord lets me come back to Jerusalem, I will give him worship in Hebron.

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:15:14 @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:15:17 @And the king went out, and all his servants went after him, and made a stop at the Far House.

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:15:25 @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:15:29 @So Zadok and Abiathar took the ark of God back to Jerusalem, and did not go away from there.

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:15:35 @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:15:37 @So Hushai, David's friend, went into the town, and Absalom came to Jerusalem.

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:16:3 @And the king said, And where is your master's son? And Ziba said, He is still at Jerusalem: for he said, Today Israel will give back to me the kingdom of my father.

bbe@2Samuel:16:8 @The Lord has sent punishment on you for all the blood of the family of Saul, whose kingdom you have taken; and the Lord has given the kingdom to Absalom, your son: now you yourself are taken in your evil, because you are a man of blood.

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:16:18 @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:16:21 @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:16:22 @So they put up the tent for Absalom on the top of the house, and Absalom went in to his father's women before the eyes of all Israel.

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:17:3 @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:17:10 @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:17:14 @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:17:18 @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:17:20 @And Absalom's servants came to the woman at the house and said, Where are Ahimaaz and Jonathan? And the woman said to them, They have gone from here to the stream. And after searching for them, and seeing nothing of them, they went back to Jerusalem.

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: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:18:3 @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:18:4 @And the king said to them, I will do whatever seems best to you. So the king took his place by the door of the town, and all the people went out by hundreds and by thousands.

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:18:7 @And the people of Israel were overcome there by the servants of David, and there was a great destruction that day, and twenty thousand men were put to the sword.

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:18:19 @Then Ahimaaz, the son of Zadok, said, Let me go and give the king news of how the Lord has done right in his cause against those who took up arms against him.

bbe@2Samuel:18:20 @And Joab said, You will take no news today; another day you may give him the news, but you will take no news today, because the king's son is dead.

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:18:31 @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:19:5 @And Joab came into the house to the king and said, Today you have put to shame the faces of all your servants who even now have kept you and your sons and your daughters and your wives and all your women safe from death;

bbe@2Samuel:19:9 @And through all the tribes of Israel the people were having arguments, saying, The king made us safe from the hands of those who were against us and made us free from the hands of the Philistines; and now he has gone in flight from the land, because of Absalom.

bbe@2Samuel:19:10 @And Absalom, whom we made a ruler over us, is dead in the fight

bbe@2Samuel:19:11 @And King David sent word to Zadok and Abiathar, the priests, Say to the responsible men of Judah, Why are you the last to take steps to get the king back to his house?

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:19:18 @And kept going across the river to take the people of the king's house over, and to do whatever was desired by the king. And Shimei, the son of Gera, went down on his face in the dust before the king, when he was about to go over Jordan,

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:19:20 @For your servant is conscious of his sin: and so, as you see, I have come today, the first of all the sons of Joseph, for the purpose of meeting my lord the king.

bbe@2Samuel:19:21 @But Abishai, the son of Zeruiah, said, Is not death the right fate for Shimei, because he has been cursing the one marked by the holy oil?

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:19:33 @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:19:41 @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:19:42 @And all the men of Judah gave this answer to the men of Israel, Because the king is our near relation: why then are you angry about this? have we taken any of the king's food, or has he given us any offering?

bbe@2Samuel:19:43 @And in answer to the men of Judah, the men of Israel said, We have ten parts in the king, and we are the first in order of birth: why did you make nothing of us? and were we not the first to make suggestions for getting the king back? And the words of the men of Judah were more violent than the words of the men of 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:20:3 @And David came to his house at Jerusalem: and the king took the ten women to whom he had given the care of the house, and had them shut up, and gave them the necessaries of life, but did not go near them. So they were shut up till the day of their death, living as widows.

bbe@2Samuel:20:6 @And David said to Abishai, Sheba, the son of Bichri, will do us more damage than Absalom did; so take some of your lord's servants and go after him, before he makes himself safe in the walled towns, and gets away before our eyes.

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:20:20 @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: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:21:4 @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:21:5 @And they said to the king, As for the man by whom we were wasted, and who made designs against us to have us completely cut off from the land of Israel,

bbe@2Samuel:21:6 @Let seven men of his family be given up to us and we will put an end to them by hanging them before the Lord in Gibeon, on the hill of the Lord. And the king said, I will give them.

bbe@2Samuel:21:7 @But the king did not give up Mephibosheth, the son of Saul's son Jonathan, because of the Lord's oath made between David and Jonathan, the son of Saul.

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: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:22:16 @Then the deep beds of the sea were seen, and the bases of the world were uncovered, because of the Lord's wrath, because of the breath of his mouth

bbe@2Samuel:22:18 @He made me free from my strong hater, from those who were against me, because they were stronger than I.

bbe@2Samuel:22:20 @He took me out into a wide place; he was my saviour because he had delight in me.

bbe@2Samuel:22:21 @The Lord gives me the reward of my righteousness, because my hands are clean before him.

bbe@2Samuel:22:25 @Because of this the Lord has given me the reward of my righteousness, because my hands are clean in his eyes.

bbe@2Samuel:22:43 @Then they were crushed as small as the dust of the earth, stamped down under my feet like the waste of the streets.

bbe@2Samuel:22:50 @Because of this I will give you praise, O Lord, among the nations, and will make a song of praise to your name.

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:23:6 @But the evil-doers, all of them, will be like thorns to be pushed away, because they may not be gripped in the hand:

bbe@2Samuel:23:27 @Abiezer the Anathothite, Sibbecai the Hushathite,

bbe@2Samuel:24:8 @So after going through all the land in every direction, they came to Jerusalem at the end of nine months and twenty days.

bbe@2Samuel:24:9 @And Joab gave the king the number of all the people: there were in Israel eight hundred thousand fighting men able to take up arms; and the men of Judah were five hundred thousand.

bbe@2Samuel:24:14 @And David said to Gad, This is a hard decision for me to make: let us come into the hands of the Lord, for great are his mercies: let me not come into the hands of men.

bbe@2Samuel:24:15 @So David made selection of the disease; and the time was the days of the grain-cutting, when the disease came among the people, causing the death of seventy thousand men from Dan as far as Beer-sheba.

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:24:17 @And when David saw the angel who was causing the destruction of the people, he said to the Lord, Truly, the sin is mine; I have done wrong: but these are only sheep; what have they done? let your hand be against me and against my family.

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@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:1:42 @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:1:50 @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:1:53 @So King Solomon sent, and they took him down from the altar. And he came and gave honour to King Solomon; and Solomon said to him, Go to your house.

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:2:11 @David was king over Israel for forty years: for seven years he was king in Hebron and for thirty-three years in Jerusalem.

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:2:34 @So Benaiah, the son of Jehoiada, went up, and falling on him, put him to death; and his body was put to rest in his house in the waste land.

bbe@1Kings:2:36 @Then the king sent for Shimei, and said to him, Make a house for yourself in Jerusalem and keep there and go to no other place.

bbe@1Kings:2:38 @And Shimei said to the king, Very well! as my lord the king has said, so will your servant do. And for a long time Shimei went on living in Jerusalem.

bbe@1Kings:2:41 @And news was given to Solomon that Shimei had gone from Jerusalem to Gath and had come back again.

bbe@1Kings:3:1 @Solomon became the son-in-law of Pharaoh, king of Egypt, and took Pharaoh's daughter as his wife, keeping her in the town of David, till the house he was building for himself, and the house of the Lord and the wall round Jerusalem, were complete.

bbe@1Kings:3:2 @But all this time the people were making their offerings in the high places, because no house had been put up to the name of the Lord till those days.

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:3:11 @And God said to him, Because your request is for this thing, and not for long life for yourself or for wealth or for the destruction of your haters, but for wisdom to be a judge of causes;

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:3:17 @And one of them said, O my lord, I and this woman are living in the same house; and I gave birth to a child by her side in the house.

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:4:6 @Ahishar was controller of the king's house; Adoniram, the son of Abda, was overseer of the forced work.

bbe@1Kings:4:7 @And Solomon put twelve overseers over all Israel, to be responsible for the stores needed for the king and those of his house; every man was responsible for one month in the year.

bbe@1Kings:4:16 @Baana, the son of Hushai, in Asher and Aloth;

bbe@1Kings:4:22 @And the amount of Solomon's food for one day was thirty measures of crushed grain and sixty measures of meal;

bbe@1Kings:4:26 @And Solomon had four thousand boxed-off spaces for horses for his carriages, and twelve thousand horsemen.

bbe@1Kings:4:32 @He was the maker of three thousand wise sayings, and of songs to the number of a thousand and five.

bbe@1Kings:5:3 @You have knowledge that David my father was not able to make a house for the name of the Lord his God, because of the wars which were round him on every side, till the Lord put all those who were against him under his feet.

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:5:11 @And Solomon gave Hiram twenty thousand measures of grain, as food for his people, and twenty measures of clear oil; this he did every year.

bbe@1Kings:5:13 @Then King Solomon got together men for the forced work through all Israel, thirty thousand men in number;

bbe@1Kings:5:14 @And sent them to Lebanon in bands of ten thousand every month: for a month they were working in Lebanon and for two months in their country, and Adoniram was in control of them.

bbe@1Kings:5:15 @Then he had seventy thousand for the work of transport, and eighty thousand stone-cutters in the mountains;

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:5:17 @By the king's orders great stones, stones of high price, were cut out, so that the base of the house might be made of squared stone.

bbe@1Kings:5:18 @Solomon's builders and Hiram's builders did the work of cutting them, and put edges on them, and got the wood and the stone ready for the building of the house.

bbe@1Kings:6:1 @In the four hundred and eightieth year after the children of Israel came out of the land of Egypt, in the fourth year that Solomon was king of Israel, in the month Ziv, which is the second month, the building of the Lord's house was started.

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:6:6 @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:6:7 @(And the stones used in the building of the house were squared at the place where they were cut out; there was no sound of hammer or axe or any iron instrument while they were building the house.)

bbe@1Kings:6:8 @The door to the lowest side rooms was in the right side of the house; and they went up by twisting steps into the middle rooms, and from the middle into the third.

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:6:12 @About this house which you are building: if you will keep my laws and give effect to my decisions and be guided by my rules, I will give effect to my word which I gave to David your father.

bbe@1Kings:6:14 @So Solomon made the building of the house complete

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:6:19 @And he made ready an inmost room in the middle of the house, in which to put the ark of the agreement of the Lord.

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:6:27 @These were placed inside the inner house, their outstretched wings touching the walls of the house, one touching one wall and one the other, while their other wings were touching in the middle.

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:6:37 @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:7:8 @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:7:12 @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:7:26 @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:7:39 @And he put the bases by the house, five on the right side and five on the left; and he put the great water-vessel on the right side of the house, to the east, facing south.

bbe@1Kings:7:40 @And Hiram made the pots and spades and the basins. So Hiram came to the end of all the work he did for King Solomon in the house of the Lord:

bbe@1Kings:7:45 @And the pots and the spades and the basins; all the vessels which Hiram made for King Solomon, for the house of the Lord, were of polished brass.

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:7:48 @And Solomon had all the vessels made for use in the house of the Lord: the altar of gold and the gold table on which the holy bread was placed;

bbe@1Kings:7:50 @And the cups and the scissors and the basins and the spoons and the fire-trays, all of gold; and the pins on which the doors were turned, the doors of the inner house, the most holy place, and the doors of the Temple, all of gold.

bbe@1Kings:7:51 @So all the work King Solomon had done in the house of the Lord was complete. Then Solomon took the holy things which David his father had given, the silver and the gold and all the vessels, and put them in the store-houses of the house of the Lord.

bbe@1Kings:8:1 @Then Solomon sent for all the responsible men of Israel, and all the chiefs of the tribes, and the heads of families of the children of Israel, to come to him in Jerusalem to take the ark of the Lord's agreement up out of the town of David, which is Zion.

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:8:10 @Now when the priests had come out of the holy place, the house of the Lord was full of the cloud,

bbe@1Kings:8:11 @So that the priests were not able to keep their places to do their work because of the cloud, for the house of the Lord was full of the glory of the Lord.

bbe@1Kings:8:13 @So I have made for you a living-place, a house in which you may be for ever present.

bbe@1Kings:8:16 @From the day when I took my people Israel out of Egypt, no town in all the tribes of Israel has been marked out by me for the building of a house for the resting-place of my name; but I made selection of David to be king over my people Israel.

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:8:18 @But the Lord said to David my father, You did well to have in your heart the desire to make a house for my name;

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:8:20 @And the Lord has made his word come true; for I have taken my father David's place on the seat of the kingdom of Israel, as the Lord gave his word; and I have made a house for the name of the Lord, the God of Israel.

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:8:29 @That your eyes may be open to this house night and day, to this place of which you have said, My name will be there; hearing the prayer which your servant may make, turning to this place.

bbe@1Kings:8:31 @If a man does wrong to his neighbour, and has to take an oath, and comes before your altar to take his oath in this house:

bbe@1Kings:8:33 @When your people Israel are overcome in war, because of their sin against you; if they are turned to you again, honouring your name, making prayers to you and requesting your grace in this house:

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:8:37 @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:8:38 @Whatever prayer or request for your grace is made by any man, or by all your people Israel, whatever his trouble may be, whose hands are stretched out to this house:

bbe@1Kings:8:41 @And as for the man from a strange land, who is not of your people Israel; when he comes from a far country because of the glory of your name:

bbe@1Kings:8:42 @(For they will have news of your great name and your strong hand and your out-stretched arm;) when he comes to make his prayer, turning to this house:

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:8:44 @If your people go out to war against their attackers, by whatever way you may send them, if they make their prayer to the Lord, turning their faces to this town of yours and to this house which I have made for your name:

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:8:57 @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:8:58 @Turning our hearts to himself, guiding us to go in all his ways, to keep his orders and his laws and his decisions, which he gave to our fathers.

bbe@1Kings:8:63 @And Solomon gave to the Lord for peace-offerings, twenty-two thousand oxen and a hundred and twenty thousand sheep. So the king and all the children of Israel kept the feast of the opening of the Lord's house.

bbe@1Kings:8:64 @The same day the king made holy the middle of the open square in front of the house of the Lord, offering there the burned offering and the meal offering and the fat of the peace-offerings; for there was not room on the brass altar of the Lord for the burned offerings and the meal offerings and the fat of the peace-offerings.

bbe@1Kings:8:66 @And on the eighth day he sent the people away, and, blessing the king, they went to their tents full of joy and glad in their hearts, because of all the good which the Lord had done to David his servant and to Israel his people.

bbe@1Kings:9:1 @Now when Solomon came to the end of building the house of the Lord and the king's house, and all Solomon's desires, which he had in mind were effected;

bbe@1Kings:9:3 @And the Lord said to him, Your prayers and your requests for grace have come to my ears: I have made holy this house which you have made, and I have put my name there for ever; my eyes and my heart will be there at all times.

bbe@1Kings:9:7 @Then I will have Israel cut off from the land which I have given them; and this house, which I have made holy for myself, I will put away from before my eyes; and Israel will be a public example, and a word of shame among all peoples.

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:9:9 @And their answer will be, Because they were turned away from the Lord their God, who took their fathers out of the land of Egypt; they took for themselves other gods and gave them worship and became their servants: that is why the Lord has sent all this evil on them.

bbe@1Kings:9:10 @Now at the end of twenty years, in which time Solomon had put up the two houses, the house of the Lord and the king's house,

bbe@1Kings:9:15 @Now, this was the way of Solomon's system of forced work for the building of the Lord's house and of the king's house, and the Millo and the wall of Jerusalem and Megiddo and Gezer....

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:9:24 @At that time Solomon made Pharaoh's daughter come up from the town of David to the house which he had made for her: then he made the Millo.

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: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:10:4 @And when the queen of Sheba had seen all the wisdom of Solomon, and the house which he had made,

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:10:9 @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:10:12 @And from the sandal-wood the king made pillars for the house of the Lord, and for the king's house, and instruments of music for the makers of melody: never has such sandal-wood been seen to this day.

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:10:17 @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:10:21 @And all King Solomon's drinking-vessels were of gold, and all the vessels of the house of the Woods of Lebanon were of the best gold; not one was of silver, for no one gave a thought to silver in the days of King Solomon.

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:10:27 @And the king made silver as common as stones in Jerusalem and cedars like the sycamore-trees of the lowlands in number.

bbe@1Kings:11:5 @For Solomon went after Ashtoreth, the goddess of the Zidonians, and Milcom, the disgusting god of the Ammonites.

bbe@1Kings:11:7 @Then Solomon put up a high place for Chemosh, the disgusting god of Moab, in the mountain before Jerusalem, and for Molech, the disgusting god worshipped by the children of Ammon.

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:11:13 @Still I will not take all the kingdom from him; but I will give one tribe to your son, because of my servant David, and because of Jerusalem, the town of my selection.

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:11:20 @And the sister of Tahpenes had a son by him, Genubath, whom Tahpenes took care of in Pharaoh's house; and Genubath was living in Pharaoh's house among Pharaoh's sons.

bbe@1Kings:11:24 @He got some men together and made himself captain of a band of outlaws; and went to Damascus and became king there.

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:11:32 @(But one tribe will be his, because of my servant David, and because of Jerusalem, the town which, out of all the tribes of Israel, I have made mine,)

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:11:34 @But I will not take the kingdom from him; I will let him be king all the days of his life, because of David my servant, in whom I took delight because he kept my orders and my laws.

bbe@1Kings:11:36 @And one tribe I will give to his son, so that David my servant may have a light for ever burning before me in Jerusalem, the town which I have made mine to put my name there.

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:11:42 @And the time Solomon was king in Jerusalem over all Israel was forty years.

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:12:9 @And said to them, What is your opinion? What answer are we to give to this people who have said to me, Make less the weight of the yoke which your father put on us?

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:12:18 @Then King Rehoboam sent Adoniram, the overseer of the forced work; and he was stoned to death by all Israel. And King Rehoboam went quickly and got into his carriage to go in flight to Jerusalem.

bbe@1Kings:12:21 @When Rehoboam came to Jerusalem, he got together all the men of Judah and the tribe of Benjamin, a hundred and eighty thousand of his best fighting-men, to make war against Israel and get the kingdom back for Rehoboam, the son of Solomon.

bbe@1Kings:12:24 @The Lord has said, You are not to go to war against your brothers, the children of Israel; go back, every man to his house, because this thing is my purpose. So they gave ear to the word of the Lord, and went back, as the Lord had said.

bbe@1Kings:12:27 @If the people go up to make offerings in the house of the Lord at Jerusalem, their heart will be turned again to their lord, to Rehoboam, king of Judah; and they will put me to death and go back to Rehoboam, king of Judah.

bbe@1Kings:12:28 @So after taking thought the king made two oxen of gold; and he said to the people, You have been going up to Jerusalem long enough; see! these are your gods, O Israel, who took you out of the land of Egypt.

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:13:15 @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:13:19 @So he went back with him, and had a meal in his house and a drink of water.

bbe@1Kings:13:21 @And crying out to the man of God who came from Judah, he said, The Lord says, Because you have gone against the voice of the Lord, and have not done as you were ordered by the Lord,

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:13:32 @For the outcry he made by the word of the Lord against the altar in Beth-el and against all the houses of the high places in the towns of Samaria, will certainly come about.

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:14:4 @So Jeroboam's wife did so, and got up and went to Shiloh and came to the house of Ahijah. Now Ahijah was unable to see, because he was very old.

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:14:12 @Up, then! go back to your house; and in the hour when your feet go into the town, the death of the child will take place.

bbe@1Kings:14:13 @And all Israel will put his body to rest, weeping over him, because he only of the family of Jeroboam will be put into his resting-place in the earth; for of all the family of Jeroboam, in him only has the Lord, the God of Israel, seen some good.

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:14:16 @And he will give Israel up because of the sins which Jeroboam has done and made Israel do.

bbe@1Kings:14:17 @Then Jeroboam's wife got up and went away and came to Tirzah; and when she came to the doorway of the house, death came to the child

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:14:24 @And more than this, there were those in the land who were used for sex purposes in the worship of the gods, doing the same disgusting crimes as the nations which the Lord had sent out before the children of Israel.

bbe@1Kings:14:25 @Now in the fifth year of King Rehoboam, Shishak, king of Egypt, came up against Jerusalem;

bbe@1Kings:14:26 @And took away all the stored wealth from the house of the Lord, and from the king's house, and all the gold body-covers which Solomon had made.

bbe@1Kings:14:27 @So in their place King Rehoboam had other body-covers made of brass, and gave them into the care of the captains of the armed men who were stationed at the door of the king's house.

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:15:2 @For three years he was king in Jerusalem: and his mother's name was Maacah, the daughter of Abishalom.

bbe@1Kings:15:4 @But because of David, the Lord gave him a light in Jerusalem, making his sons king after him, so that Jerusalem might be safe;

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:15:10 @And he was king for forty-one years in Jerusalem; his mother's name was Maacah, the daughter of Abishalom.

bbe@1Kings:15:12 @Those used for sex purposes in the worship of the gods he sent out of the country, and he took away all the images which his fathers had made.

bbe@1Kings:15:13 @And he would not let Maacah his mother be queen, because she had made a disgusting image for Asherah; and Asa had the image cut down and burned by the stream Kidron.

bbe@1Kings:15:15 @He took into the house of the Lord all the things which his father had made holy, and those which he himself had made holy, silver and gold and vessels.

bbe@1Kings:15:18 @Then Asa took all the silver and gold which was still stored in the Lord's house, and in the king's house, and sent them, in the care of his servants, to Ben-hadad, son of Tabrimmon, son of Rezon, king of Aram, at Damascus, saying,

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:15:30 @Because of the sins which Jeroboam did and made Israel do, moving the Lord, the God of Israel, to wrath.

bbe@1Kings:16:2 @Because I took you up out of the dust, and made you ruler over my people Israel; and you have gone in the ways of Jeroboam, and made my people Israel do evil, moving me to wrath by their sins;

bbe@1Kings:16:3 @Truly, I will see that Baasha and all his family are completely brushed away; I will make your family like the family of Jeroboam, the son of Nebat.

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:16:9 @And his servant Zimri, captain of half his war-carriages, made secret designs against him: now he was in Tirzah, drinking hard in the house of Arza, controller of the king's house in Tirzah.

bbe@1Kings:16:13 @Because of all the sins of Baasha, and the sins of Elah his son, which they did and made Israel do, moving the Lord, the God of Israel, to wrath by their foolish acts.

bbe@1Kings:16:18 @And when Zimri saw that the town was taken, he went into the inner room of the king's house, and burning the house over his head, came to his end,

bbe@1Kings:16:19 @Because of his sin in doing evil in the eyes of the Lord, in going in the way of Jeroboam and in his sin which he made Israel do.

bbe@1Kings:16:32 @And he put up an altar for Baal in the house of Baal which he had made in Samaria.

bbe@1Kings:17:7 @Now after a time the stream became dry, because there was no rain in the land.

bbe@1Kings:17:17 @Now after this, the son of the woman of the house became ill, so ill that there was no breath in him.

bbe@1Kings:17:20 @And crying to the Lord he said, O Lord my God, have you sent evil even on the widow whose guest I am, by causing her son's death?

bbe@1Kings:17:23 @And Elijah took the child down from his room into the house and gave him to his mother and said to her, See, your son is living

bbe@1Kings:18:3 @And Ahab sent for Obadiah, the controller of the king's house. (Now Obadiah had the fear of the Lord before him greatly;

bbe@1Kings:18:5 @And Ahab said to Obadiah, Come, let us go through all the country, to all the fountains of water and all the rivers, and see if there is any grass to be had for the horses and the transport beasts, so that we may be able to keep some of the beasts from destruction.

bbe@1Kings:18:9 @And he said, What sin have I done, that you would give up your servant into the hand of Ahab, and be the cause of my death?

bbe@1Kings:18:18 @Then he said in answer, I have not been troubling Israel, but you and your family; because, turning away from the orders of the Lord, you have gone after the Baals.

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:18:26 @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:18:38 @Then the fire of the Lord came down, burning up the offering and the wood and the stones and the dust, and drinking up the water in the drain.

bbe@1Kings:19:15 @And the Lord said to him, Go back on your way through the waste land to Damascus; and when you come there, put the holy oil on Hazael to make him king over Aram;

bbe@1Kings:20:15 @Then he got together the servants of all the chiefs who were over the divisions of the land, two hundred and thirty-two of them; and after them, he got together all the people, all the children of Israel, seven thousand.

bbe@1Kings:20:25 @And get together another army like the one which came to destruction, horse for horse, and carriage for carriage; and let us make war on them in the lowlands, and certainly we will be stronger than they. And he gave ear to what they said, and did so.

bbe@1Kings:20:28 @And a man of God came up and said to the king of Israel, The Lord says, Because the Aramaeans have said, The Lord is a god of the hills and not of the valleys; I will give all this great army into your hands, and you will see that I am the Lord.

bbe@1Kings:20:36 @Then he said to him, Because you have not given ear to the voice of the Lord, straight away when you have gone from me a lion will put you to death. And when he had gone, straight away a lion came rushing at him and put him to death.

bbe@1Kings:20:42 @And he said to him, These are the words of the Lord: Because you have let go from your hands the man whom I had put to the curse, your life will be taken for his life, and your people for his people.

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:21:4 @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:21:6 @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:21:20 @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:21:22 @And I will make your family like the family of Jeroboam, the son of Nebat, and like the family of Baasha, the son of Ahijah, because you have made me angry, and have made Israel do evil.

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:21:29 @Do you see how Ahab has made himself low before me? because he has made himself low before me, I will not send the evil in his life-time, but in his son's time I will send the evil on his family.

bbe@1Kings:22:5 @Then Jehoshaphat said to the king of Israel, Let us now get directions from the Lord.

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:22:17 @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:22:39 @Now the rest of the acts of Ahab, and all he did, and his ivory house, and all the towns of which he was the builder, are they not recorded in the book of the history of the kings of Israel?

bbe@1Kings:22:42 @Jehoshaphat was thirty-five years old when he became king, and he was king for twenty-five years in Jerusalem. His mother's name was Azubah, the daughter of Shilhi.

bbe@1Kings:22:47 @He put an end to the rest of those who were used for sex purposes in the worship of the gods, all those who were still in the land in the time of his father Asa.

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@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:1:16 @And he said to him, This is the word of the Lord: Because you sent men to put a question to Baal-zebub, the god of Ekron, for this reason you will never again get down from the bed on to which you have gone up, but death will certainly come to you.

bbe@2Kings:1:17 @So death came to him, as the Lord had said by the mouth of Elijah. And Jehoram became king in his place in the second year of the rule of Jehoram, son of Jehoshaphat, king of Judah; because he had no son.

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:2:19 @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:3:4 @Now Mesha, king of Moab, was a sheep-farmer; and he gave regularly to the king of Israel the wool from a hundred thousand lambs and a hundred thousand sheep.

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:3:23 @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: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:4:2 @Then Elisha said to her, What am I to do for you? say now, what have you in the house? And she said, Your servant has nothing in the house but a pot of oil.

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:4:9 @And she said to her husband, Now I see that this is a holy man of God, who comes by day after day.

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:4:13 @And he said to him, Now say to her, See, you have taken all this trouble for us; what is to be done for you? will you have any request made for you to the king or the captain of the army? But she said, I am living among my people.

bbe@2Kings:4:14 @So he said, What then is to be done for her? And Gehazi made answer, Still there is this, she has no son and her husband is old.

bbe@2Kings:4:22 @And she said to her husband, Send me one of the servants and one of the asses so that I may go quickly to the man of God and come back again.

bbe@2Kings:4:26 @Go quickly to her, and on meeting her say to her, Are you well? and your husband and the child, are they well? And she said in answer, All is well.

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:4:32 @And when Elisha came into the house he saw the child dead, stretched on his bed.

bbe@2Kings:4:35 @Then he came back, and after walking once through the house and back, he went up, stretching himself out on the child seven times; and the child's eyes became open.

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:5:5 @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:5:12 @Are not Abana and Pharpar, rivers of Damascus, better than all the waters of Israel? may I not be washed in them and become clean? So turning, he went away in wrath

bbe@2Kings:5:17 @Then Naaman said, If you will not, then let there be given to your servant as much earth as two beasts are able to take on their backs; because from now on, your servant will make no offering or burned offering to other gods, but only to the Lord.

bbe@2Kings:5:18 @But may your servant have the Lord's forgiveness for this one thing: when my master goes into the house of Rimmon for worship there, supported on my arm, and my head is bent in the house of Rimmon; when his head is bent in the house of Rimmon, may your servant have the Lord's forgiveness for this thing.

bbe@2Kings:5:24 @When he came to the hill, he took them from their hands, and put them away in the house; and he sent the men away, and they went.

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:6:1 @Now the sons of the prophets said to Elisha, There is not room enough for us in the place where we are living under your care;

bbe@2Kings:6:2 @So let us go to Jordan, and let everyone get to work cutting boards, and we will make a living-place for ourselves there. And he said to them, Go, then.

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:6:11 @And at this, the mind of the king of Aram was greatly troubled, and he sent for his servants and said to them, Will you not make clear to me which of us is helping the king of Israel?

bbe@2Kings:6:12 @And one of them said, Not one of us, my lord king; but Elisha, the prophet in Israel, gives the king of Israel news of the words you say even in your bedroom.

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:6:27 @And he said, If the Lord does not give you help, where am I to get help for you? from the grain-floor or the grape-crusher?

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: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:7:9 @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:7:11 @Then the door-keepers, crying out, gave the news to those inside 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:7:13 @And one of his servants said in answer, Send men and let them take five of the horses which we still have in the town; if they keep their lives they will be the same as those of Israel who are still living here; if they come to their death they will be the same as all those of Israel who have gone to destruction: let us send and see.

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:7:20 @And such was his fate; for he was crushed to death under the feet of the people, in the doorway into the town.

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:8:2 @So the woman got up and did as the man of God said; and she and the people of her house were living in the land of the Philistines 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:8:5 @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:8:7 @And Elisha came to Damascus; and Ben-hadad, king of Aram, was ill; and they said to him, The man of God has come.

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:8:12 @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:8:15 @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:8:17 @He was thirty-two years old when he became king; and he was ruling in Jerusalem for eight years.

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:8:26 @Ahaziah was twenty-two years old when he became king, and he was ruling in Jerusalem for one year. His mother's name was Athaliah, the daughter of Omri, king of Israel.

bbe@2Kings:8:29 @So King Joram went back to Jezreel to get well from the wounds which the bowmen had given him at Ramah, when he was fighting against Hazael, king of Aram. And Ahaziah, the son of Jehoram, king of Judah, went down to see Joram, the son of Ahab, in Jezreel, because he was ill.

bbe@2Kings:9:5 @And when he came, he saw the captains of the army seated together; and he said, I have something to say to you, O captain. And Jehu said, To which of us? And he said, To you, O captain.

bbe@2Kings:9:6 @And he got up and went into the house; then he put the holy oil on his head and said to him, The Lord, the God of Israel, says, I have made you king over the people of the Lord, over Israel.

bbe@2Kings:9:12 @And they said, That is not true; now give us his story. Then he said, This is what he said to me: The Lord says, I have made you king over Israel.

bbe@2Kings:9:14 @So Jehu, the son of Jehoshaphat, the son of Nimshi, made designs against Joram. (Now Joram and all the army of Israel were keeping watch on Ramoth-gilead because of Hazael, king of Aram:

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:9:27 @Now when Ahaziah, king of Judah, saw this, he went in flight by the way of the garden house. And Jehu came after him and said, Put him to death in the same way; and they gave him a death-wound in his carriage, on the slope up to Gur, by Ibleam; and he went in flight to Megiddo, where death came to him.

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:9:33 @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: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:10:16 @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:10:21 @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:10:25 @Then when the burned offering was ended, straight away Jehu said to the armed men and the captains, Go in and put them to death; let not one come out. So they put them to the sword; and, pulling the images to the earth, they went into the holy place of the house 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:10:30 @And the Lord said to Jehu, Because you have done well in doing what is right in my eyes and effecting all my purpose for the family of Ahab, your sons will be kings of Israel to the fourth generation.

bbe@2Kings:11:3 @And for six years she kept him safe in the house of the Lord, while Athaliah was ruling over the land.

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:11:5 @And he gave them orders, saying, This is what you are to do: the third part of you, who come in on the Sabbath and keep the watch of the king's house,

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: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:17:7 @And the wrath of the Lord came on Israel because they had done evil against the Lord their God, who took them out of the land of Egypt from under the yoke of Pharaoh, king of Egypt, and had become worshippers of other gods,

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:13:7 @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:13:10 @And the wrath of the Lord, burning against Uzza, sent destruction on him because he had put his hand on the ark, and death came to him there before God.

bbe@1Chronicles:13:11 @And David was angry because of the Lord's outburst of wrath against Uzza, and he gave that place the name Perez-uzza, to this day.

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:13:14 @And the ark of God was in the house of Obed-edom for three months; and the Lord sent a blessing on the house of Obed-edom and on all he had.

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:14:3 @And while he was living in Jerusalem, David took more wives and became the father of more sons and daughters.

bbe@1Chronicles:14:4 @These are the names of the children he had in Jerusalem: Shammua and Shobab, Nathan and Solomon

bbe@1Chronicles:14:11 @So they went up to Baal-perazim, and David overcame them there, and David said, God has let the forces fighting against me be broken by my hand, as a wall is broken down by rushing water; so they gave that place the name of Baal-perazim.

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:15:3 @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:15:13 @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:15:16 @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:15:22 @And Chenaniah, chief of the Levites, was master of the music: he gave directions about the song, because he was expert.

bbe@1Chronicles:15:24 @And Shebaniah and Joshaphat and Nethanel and Amasai and Zechariah and Benaiah and Eliezer, the priests, made music on the horns before the ark of God; and Obed-edom and Jehiah were door-keepers for the ark.

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: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:16:15 @He has kept his agreement in mind for ever, the word which he gave for a thousand generations;

bbe@1Chronicles:16:21 @He would not let anyone do them wrong; he even kept back kings because of them,

bbe@1Chronicles:16:35 @And say, Be our saviour, O God of our salvation, and let us come back, and give us salvation from the nations, so that we may give honour to your holy name and have glory in your praise.

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:16:42 @And Heman and Jeduthun had horns and brass instruments sounding loudly, and instruments of music for the songs of God; and the sons of Jeduthun were to be at the door.

bbe@1Chronicles:16:43 @And all the people went away, every man to his house; and David went back to give a blessing to his family.

bbe@1Chronicles:17:1 @Now when David was living in his house, he said to Nathan the prophet, See, I am living in a house of cedar-wood, but the ark of the Lord's agreement is under the curtains of a tent.

bbe@1Chronicles:17:4 @Go and say to David my servant, The Lord says, You are not to make me a house for my living-place:

bbe@1Chronicles:17:5 @For from the day when I took Israel up, till this day, I have had no house, but have gone from tent to tent, and from living-place to living-place.

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:17:12 @He will be the builder of my house, and I will make the seat of his authority certain for ever.

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:17:19 @O Lord, because of your servant, and from your heart, you have done all these great things and let them be seen.

bbe@1Chronicles:18:4 @And David took from him a thousand war-carriages and seven thousand horsemen and twenty thousand footmen: and he had the leg-muscles of all the horses cut, keeping only enough of them for a hundred war-carriages.

bbe@1Chronicles:18:5 @And when the Aramaeans of Damascus came to the help of Hadadezer, king of Zobah, David put to the sword twenty-two thousand Aramaeans.

bbe@1Chronicles:18:6 @Then David put armed forces in Damascus, and the Aramaeans became his servants and gave him offerings. And the Lord made David overcome wherever he went.

bbe@1Chronicles:18:7 @And the gold body-covers of the servants of Hadadezer, David took to Jerusalem.

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:18:12 @And when he came back from putting to the sword eighteen thousand of the Edomites in the Valley of Salt,

bbe@1Chronicles:19:2 @And David said, I will be a friend to Hanun, the son of Nahash, because his father was a friend to me. So David sent men to him, to give him words of comfort on account of his father. And the servants of David came to Hanun, to the land of the children of Ammon, offering him comfort.

bbe@1Chronicles:19:6 @And when the children of Ammon saw that they had made themselves hated by David, Hanun and the children of Ammon sent a thousand talents of silver as payment for war-carriages and horsemen from Mesopotamia and Aram-maacah and Zobah.

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:19:13 @Take heart, and let us be strong for our people and for the towns of our God; and may the Lord do what seems good to him.

bbe@1Chronicles:19:15 @And when the children of Ammon saw the flight of the Aramaeans, they themselves went in flight from Abishai, his brother, and came into the town. Then Joab came back to Jerusalem.

bbe@1Chronicles:19:18 @And the Aramaeans went in flight before Israel; and David put to the sword the men of seven thousand Aramaean war-carriages and forty thousand footmen, and put to death Shophach, the captain of the army.

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:20:3 @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:21:3 @And Joab said, May the Lord make his people a hundred times more in number than they are; but, my lord king, are they not all my lord's servants? why would my lord have this done? why will he become a cause of sin to Israel?

bbe@1Chronicles:21:4 @But the king's word was stronger than Joab's. So Joab went out and went through all Israel and came to Jerusalem.

bbe@1Chronicles:21:5 @And Joab gave David the number of all the people; all the men of Israel, able to take up arms, were one million, one hundred thousand men; and those of Judah were four hundred and seventy thousand men, able to take up arms.

bbe@1Chronicles:21:6 @But Levi and Benjamin were not numbered among them, for Joab was disgusted with the king's order.

bbe@1Chronicles:21:14 @So the Lord sent disease on Israel, causing the death of seventy thousand men

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:21:18 @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:21:24 @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:21:28 @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:21:29 @For the House of the Lord, which Moses had made in the waste land, and the altar of burned offerings, were at that time in the high place at Gibeon.

bbe@1Chronicles:22:1 @Then David said, This is the house of the Lord God, and this is the altar for Israel's burned offerings.

bbe@1Chronicles:22:2 @And David gave orders to get together all the men from strange lands who were in the land of Israel; and he put stone-cutters to work, cutting stones for building the house of God.

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:22:6 @Then he sent for his son Solomon, and gave him orders for the building of a house for the Lord, the God of Israel.

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:22:10 @He will be the builder of a house for my name; he will be to me a son, and I will be to him a father; and I will make the seat of his rule over Israel certain for ever.

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:22:19 @Now give your heart and soul to the worship of the Lord your God; and get to work on the building of the holy place of the Lord God, so that you may put the ark of the Lord's agreement and the holy vessels of God in the house which is to be made for the name of the Lord.

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:23:10 @And the sons of Shimei: Jahath, Zizah and Jeush and Beriah; these four were the sons of Shimei.

bbe@1Chronicles:23:11 @Jahath was the chief and Zizah the second; but Jeush and Beriah had only a small number of sons, so they were grouped together as one family.

bbe@1Chronicles:23:21 @The sons of Merari: Mahli and Mushi; the sons of Mahli: Eleazar and Kish.

bbe@1Chronicles:23:23 @The sons of Mushi: Mahli and Eder and Jeremoth, three.

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:24:19 @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:24:26 @The sons of Merari: Mahli and Mushi; the sons of Jaaziah.

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: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:26:12 @Of these were the divisions of the door-keepers, men of authority, having responsible positions like their brothers to be servants in the house of the Lord.

bbe@1Chronicles:26:14 @And the care of the door on the east came out for Shelemiah. Then the name of Zechariah his son, a man wise in discussion, came out, and the door on the north was given to him.

bbe@1Chronicles:26:15 @To Obed-edom, that on the south; and to his sons, the store-house.

bbe@1Chronicles:26:17 @On the east were six Levites a day, and on the north and the south four a day, and for the store-house two and two.

bbe@1Chronicles:26:20 @And the Levites their brothers were responsible for the stores of the house of God and the holy things.

bbe@1Chronicles:26:22 @The sons of Jehieli: Zetham and Joel, his brother, had the care of the stores of the house of the Lord.

bbe@1Chronicles:26:26 @Shelomoth and his brothers were responsible for all the store of holy things which David the king and the heads of families, the captains of thousands and of hundreds, and the captains of the army, had given to the Lord.

bbe@1Chronicles:26:27 @From the goods taken in war, they gave, as a holy offering, materials for the building of the house of the Lord.

bbe@1Chronicles:26:29 @Of the Izharites, Chenaniah and his sons had to do all the public business of Israel, in relation to judges and men in authority.

bbe@1Chronicles:26:30 @Of the Hebronites, Hashabiah and his brothers, seventeen hundred able men, were overseers of Israel on the other side of the Jordan, to the west, being responsible for all the work of the Lord's house and for the work done by the king's servants.

bbe@1Chronicles:26:32 @And his brothers were two thousand, seven hundred able men, heads of families, whom King David made overseers over the Reubenites and the Gadites and the half-tribe of Manasseh, in everything to do with God, and for the king's business.

bbe@1Chronicles:27:1 @Now the number of the children of Israel, that is, the heads of families, and the captains of thousands and of hundreds, and the men in authority who were servants of the king in anything to do with the divisions which came in and went out month by month through all the months of the year, in every division were twenty-four thousand.

bbe@1Chronicles:27:2 @Over the first division for the first month was Ishbaal, the son of Zabdiel; and in his division were twenty-four thousand.

bbe@1Chronicles:27:4 @And over the division for the second month was Eleazar, the son of Dodai the Ahohite, the ruler; and in his division were twenty-four thousand.

bbe@1Chronicles:27:5 @The third captain of the army for the third month was Benaiah, the son of Jehoiada the priest; and in his division were twenty-four thousand.

bbe@1Chronicles:27:7 @The fourth captain for the fourth month was Asahel, the brother of Joab, and Zebadiah his son after him; and in his division were twenty-four thousand.

bbe@1Chronicles:27:8 @The fifth captain for the fifth month was Shamhuth the Izrahite; and in his division were twenty-four thousand.

bbe@1Chronicles:27:9 @The sixth captain for the sixth month was Ira, the son of Ikkesh the Tekoite; and in his division were twenty-four thousand.

bbe@1Chronicles:27:10 @The seventh captain for the seventh month was Helez the Pelonite, of the sons of Ephraim; and in his division were twenty-four thousand.

bbe@1Chronicles:27:11 @The eighth captain for the eighth month was Sibbecai the Hushathite, of the Zerahites; and in his division were twenty-four thousand.

bbe@1Chronicles:27:12 @The ninth captain for the ninth month was Abiezer the Anathothite, of the Benjamites; and in his division were twenty-four thousand.

bbe@1Chronicles:27:13 @The tenth captain for the tenth month was Maharai the Netophathite, of the Zerahites; and in his division were twenty-four thousand

bbe@1Chronicles:27:14 @The eleventh captain for the eleventh month was Benaiah the Pirathonite, of the sons of Ephraim; and in his division were twenty-four thousand.

bbe@1Chronicles:27:15 @The twelfth captain for the twelfth month was Heldai the Netophathite, of Othniel; and in his division were twenty-four thousand.

bbe@1Chronicles:27:24 @The numbering was started by Joab, the son of Zeruiah, but he did not go on to the end; and because of it, wrath came on Israel and the number was not recorded in the history of King David.

bbe@1Chronicles:27:25 @And Azmaveth, the son of Adiel, was controller of the king's property; Jonathan, the son of Uzziah, had control of all store-houses in country places and in the towns and little towns and strong places;

bbe@1Chronicles:27:32 @Now Jonathan, David's father's brother, expert in discussion, and a man of good sense, was a scribe; and Jehiel the son of Hachmoni, had the care of the king's sons;

bbe@1Chronicles:27:33 @And Ahithophel was the king's expert in discussion and Hushai the Archite was the king's friend.

bbe@1Chronicles:28:1 @And David got together at Jerusalem all the rulers of Israel, the chiefs of the tribes and the captains of the divisions waiting on the king in turn, and the captains of thousands and the captains of hundreds and the controllers of all the goods and property of the king and his sons, with the unsexed servants and the great men of war.

bbe@1Chronicles:28:2 @Then David the king got up and said, Give ear to me, my brothers and my people; it was my desire to put up a house, a resting-place for the ark of the Lord's agreement, and for the foot-rest of our God; and I had got material ready for the building of it.

bbe@1Chronicles:28:3 @But God said to me, You are not to be the builder of a house for my name, because you are a man of war and have taken life;

bbe@1Chronicles:28:6 @And he said to me, Solomon your son will be the builder of my house and the open spaces round it; for I have taken him to be my son, and I will be his father.

bbe@1Chronicles:28:10 @Now then, take note; for the Lord has made selection of you to be the builder of a house for the holy place. Be strong and do it.

bbe@1Chronicles:28:11 @Then David gave to his son Solomon the design of the doorway of the house of God and of its houses and its store-houses, and the higher rooms and the inner rooms and the place for the mercy-seat;

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:28:14 @Of gold, by weight, for the vessels of gold, for all the vessels of different uses; and silver for all the vessels of silver by weight, for vessels of different uses;

bbe@1Chronicles:28:15 @And gold by weight for the light-supports and the vessels for the lights, the weight of gold needed for every support and every vessel for lights; and for the silver light-supports, the weight of silver needed for every support and for the different vessels as every one was to be used;

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:29:1 @And David the king said to all the people, Solomon my son, the only one who has been marked out by God, is still young and untested, and the work is great, for this great house is not for man, but for the Lord God.

bbe@1Chronicles:29:2 @Now as far as I am able, I have made ready what is needed for the house of my God; the gold for the things of gold, and the silver for the silver things, and the brass for the brass things, iron for the things of iron, and wood for the things of wood; beryls and jewels to be framed, and stones of different colours for ornament; all sorts of stones of great price, and polished building-stone, as much as is needed and more.

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:29:4 @Even three thousand talents of gold of Ophir and seven thousand talents of the best silver, for plating the walls of the 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:29:7 @And they gave for the use of the house of the Lord, five thousand talents and ten thousand darics of gold, and ten thousand talents of silver, and eighteen thousand talents of brass, and a hundred thousand talents of iron.

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:29:16 @O Lord our God, all this store, which we have made ready for the building of a house for your holy name, comes from your hand and is yours.

bbe@1Chronicles:29:17 @And I am conscious, my God, that you are the searcher of hearts, taking pleasure in righteousness

bbe@1Chronicles:29:19 @And give to Solomon my son a true heart, to keep your orders, your rules, and your laws, and to do all these things, and to put up this great house for which I have made ready.

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:29:27 @For forty years he was ruling as king over Israel, seven years in Hebron and thirty-three years in Jerusalem.

bbe@2Chronicles:1:2 @And Solomon sent word to all Israel, to the captains of thousands and of hundreds and to the judges and to every chief in all Israel, heads of their families.

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:1:9 @Now, O Lord God, let your word to David my father come true; for you have made me king over a people like the dust of the earth in number.

bbe@2Chronicles:1:11 @And God said to Solomon, Because this was in your heart, and you did not make request for money, property, or honour, or for the destruction of your haters, or for long life; but you have made request for wisdom and knowledge for yourself, so that you may be the judge of my people over whom I have made you king:

bbe@2Chronicles:1:13 @So Solomon went back from the high place at Gibeon, from before the Tent of meeting, to Jerusalem; and he was king over Israel.

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:1:15 @And the king made silver and gold as common as stones in Jerusalem, and cedar like the sycamore-trees of the lowland in number.

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:2:2 @And Solomon had seventy thousand men numbered for transport, and eighty thousand for cutting stone in the mountains, and three thousand, six hundred as overseers.

bbe@2Chronicles:2:3 @And Solomon sent to Huram, king of Tyre, saying, As you did for my father David, sending him cedar-trees for the building of his house,

bbe@2Chronicles:2:4 @See! I am building a house for the name of the Lord my God, to be made holy to him, where perfumes of sweet spices will be burned before him, and the holy bread will be placed at all times, and burned offerings will be offered morning and evening, on the Sabbaths and at the new moons, and on the regular feasts of the Lord our God. This is a law for ever to Israel.

bbe@2Chronicles:2:5 @And the house which I am building is to be great, for our God is greater than all gods.

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:2:9 @To get trees for me in great numbers, for the house which I am building is to be great and a wonder.

bbe@2Chronicles:2:10 @And I will give as food to your servants, the wood-cutters, twenty thousand measures of grain, and twenty thousand measures of barley and twenty thousand measures of wine and twenty thousand measures of oil.

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:2:12 @And Huram said, Praise be to the Lord, the God of Israel, maker of heaven and earth, who has given to David the king a wise son, full of wisdom and good sense, to be the builder of a house for the Lord and a house for himself as king.

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:2:17 @Then Solomon took the number of all the men from strange lands who were living in Israel, as his father David had done; there were a hundred and fifty-three thousand, six hundred.

bbe@2Chronicles:2:18 @Seventy thousand he put to the work of transport, eighty thousand to cutting stone in the mountains, and three thousand, six hundred as overseers to put the people to work.

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:3:11 @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:3:13 @Their outstretched wings were twenty cubits across; they were placed upright on their feet, facing the inner part of the house.

bbe@2Chronicles:3:15 @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:4:5 @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:4:6 @And he made ten washing-vessels, putting five on the right side and five on the left; such things as were used in making the burned offering were washed in them; but the great water-vessel was to be used by the priests for washing themselves.

bbe@2Chronicles:4:10 @He put the great water-vessel on the right side of the house to the east, facing south

bbe@2Chronicles:4:11 @And Huram made all the pots and the spades and the basins. So he came to the end of all the work he did for King Solomon in the house of God:

bbe@2Chronicles:4:16 @All the pots and the spades and the meat-hooks and their vessels, which Huram, who was as his father, made for King Solomon for the house of the Lord, were of polished brass.

bbe@2Chronicles:4:18 @So Solomon made all these vessels, a very great store of them, and the weight of the brass used was not measured.

bbe@2Chronicles:4:19 @And Solomon made all the vessels used in the house of God, the gold altar and the tables on which the holy bread was placed,

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:4:22 @The scissors and the basins and the spoons and the fire-trays, of the best gold; and the inner doors of the house, opening into the most holy place, and the doors of the Temple, were all of gold.

bbe@2Chronicles:5:1 @So all the work which Solomon did for the house of the Lord was complete. And Solomon took the holy things which David his father had given, the silver and the gold and all the vessels, and put them in the store-houses of the house of God.

bbe@2Chronicles:5:2 @Then Solomon sent for all the responsible men of Israel, all the chiefs of the tribes and the heads of families of the children of Israel, to come to Jerusalem and take the ark of the Lord's agreement up out of the town of David, which is Zion.

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:5:12 @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:5:14 @So that the priests were not able to keep their places to do their work because of the cloud; for the house of God was full of the glory of the Lord.

bbe@2Chronicles:6:2 @So I have made for you a living-place, a house in which you may be for ever present.

bbe@2Chronicles:6:5 @From the day when I took my people out of the land of Egypt, no town in all the tribes of Israel has been marked out by me for the building of a house for the resting-place of my name; and I took no man to be a ruler over my people Israel;

bbe@2Chronicles:6:6 @But now I have made selection of Jerusalem, that my name might be there, and of David, to be over my people Israel.

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:6:8 @But the Lord said to David my father, You did well to have in your heart the desire to make a house for my name:

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:6:10 @And the Lord has kept his word; for I have taken my father David's place on the seat of the kingdom of Israel, as the Lord gave his word; and I have made the house for the name of the Lord the God of Israel.

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:6:20 @That your eyes may be open to this house day and night, to this place of which you have said that you would put your name there; to give ear to the prayer which your servant may make, turning to this place.

bbe@2Chronicles:6:22 @If a man does wrong to his neighbour and has to take an oath, and comes before your altar to take his oath in this house:

bbe@2Chronicles:6:24 @And if your people Israel are overcome in war, because of their sin against you; if they are turned to you again, honouring your name, making prayers and requesting your grace in this house:

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:6:28 @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:6:29 @Whatever prayer or request for your grace is made by any man, or by all your people Israel, whatever his trouble may be, whose hands are stretched out to this house:

bbe@2Chronicles:6:32 @And as for the man from a strange land, who is not of your people Israel but comes from a far country because of the glory of your name and your strong hand and your outstretched arm; when he comes to make his prayer, turning to this house:

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:6:34 @If your people go out to war against their attackers, by whatever way you may send them, if they make their prayers to you turning their faces to this town of yours and to this house which I have put up for your name:

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:7:1 @Now when Solomon's prayers were ended, fire came down from heaven, burning up all the offerings; and the house was full of the glory of the Lord.

bbe@2Chronicles:7:2 @And the priests were not able to go into the house of the Lord, for the Lord's house was full of the glory of the Lord.

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:7:5 @King Solomon made an offering of twenty-two thousand oxen, and a hundred and twenty thousand sheep. So the king and all the people kept the feast of the opening of the house of God.

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:7:7 @Then Solomon made holy the middle of the open square in front of the house of the Lord, offering the burned offerings there, and the fat of the peace-offerings; for there was not room on the brass altar which Solomon had made for all the burned offerings and the meal offerings and the fat.

bbe@2Chronicles:7:10 @And on the twenty-third day of the seventh month, he sent the people away to their tents, full of joy and glad in their hearts, because of all the good which the Lord had done to David and to Solomon and to Israel his people.

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:7:12 @Now the Lord came to Solomon in a vision by night, and said to him, I have given ear to your prayer, and have taken this place for myself as a house where offerings are to be made.

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:7:20 @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:7:22 @And their answer will be, Because they were turned away from the Lord, the God of their fathers, who took them out of the land of Egypt, and took for themselves other gods and gave them worship and became their servants: that is why he has sent all this evil on them.

bbe@2Chronicles:8:1 @Now at the end of twenty years, in which time Solomon had put up the house of the Lord and a house for himself,

bbe@2Chronicles:8:2 @He took in hand the building up of the towns which Huram had given him, causing the children of Israel to make living-places for themselves there.

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:8:9 @But Solomon did not make use of the children of Israel as servants for his work; they were men of war, his chiefs and his captains, and captains of his war-carriages and his horsemen.

bbe@2Chronicles:8:11 @Then Solomon made Pharaoh's daughter come up from the town of David to the house which he had made for her; for he said, I will not have my wife living in the house of David, king of Israel, because those places where the ark of the Lord has come are holy.

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: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:9:3 @And when the queen of Sheba had seen the wisdom of Solomon, and the house which he had made,

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:9:8 @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:9:11 @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:9:16 @And he made three hundred smaller body-covers of hammered gold, using three hundred shekels of gold for every cover, and the king put them in the house of the Woods of Lebanon.

bbe@2Chronicles:9:20 @All King Solomon's drinking-vessels were of gold, and all the vessels of the house of the Woods of Lebanon were of the best gold: no one gave a thought to silver in the days of Solomon

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:9:27 @The king made silver as common as stones in Jerusalem and cedars like the sycamore-trees of the lowlands in number.

bbe@2Chronicles:9:30 @Solomon was king over Israel in Jerusalem for forty years.

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:10:9 @And he said to them, What is your opinion? What answer are we to give to this people who have said to me, Make less the weight of the yoke which your father put on us?

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:10:16 @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:10:18 @Then Rehoboam sent Adoniram, the overseer of the forced work; and he was stoned to death by all Israel. And King Rehoboam went quickly and got into his carriage to go in flight to Jerusalem.

bbe@2Chronicles:11:1 @And Rehoboam came to Jerusalem, and got together the men of Judah and Benjamin, a hundred and eighty thousand of his best fighting-men, to make war against Israel and get the kingdom back for Rehoboam.

bbe@2Chronicles:11:4 @The Lord has said, You are not to go to war against your brothers: let every man go back to his house, for this thing is my purpose. So they gave ear to the words of the Lord and were turned back from fighting against Jeroboam.

bbe@2Chronicles:11:5 @Now Rehoboam kept in Jerusalem, building walled towns in Judah.

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:11:16 @And after them, from all the tribes of Israel, all those whose hearts were fixed and true to the Lord, the God of Israel, came to Jerusalem to make offerings to the Lord, the God of their fathers.

bbe@2Chronicles:11:19 @And she had sons by him, Jeush, Shemariah, and Zaham.

bbe@2Chronicles:12:2 @Now in the fifth year of King Rehoboam, Shishak, king of Egypt, came up against Jerusalem, because of their sin against the Lord,

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:12:4 @And he took the walled towns of Judah, and came as far as Jerusalem.

bbe@2Chronicles:12:5 @Now Shemaiah the prophet came to Rehoboam and the chiefs of Judah, who had come together in Jerusalem because of Shishak, and said to them, The Lord has said, Because you have given me up, I have given you up into the hands of Shishak.

bbe@2Chronicles:12:7 @And the Lord, seeing that they had made themselves low, said to Shemaiah, They have made themselves low: I will not send destruction on them, but in a short time I will give them salvation, and will not let loose my wrath on Jerusalem by the hand of Shishak.

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:12:10 @And in their place King Rehoboam had other body-covers made of brass and gave them into the care of the captains of the armed men who were stationed at the door of the king's house.

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:12:13 @So King Rehoboam made himself strong in Jerusalem and was ruling there

bbe@2Chronicles:12:14 @And he did evil because his heart was not true to the Lord.

bbe@2Chronicles:13:2 @He was king in Jerusalem for three years; his mother's name was Maacah, the daughter of Uriel of Gibeah. And there was war between Abijah and Jeroboam.

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:13:10 @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:14:6 @He made walled towns in Judah, for the land was quiet and there were no wars in those years, because the Lord had given him rest.

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:14:14 @And they overcame all the towns round Gerar, because the Lord sent fear on them; and they took away their goods from the towns, for there were stores of wealth in them.

bbe@2Chronicles:14:15 @And they made an attack on the tents of the owners of the cattle, and took away great numbers of sheep and camels and went back to Jerusalem.

bbe@2Chronicles:15:6 @And they were broken by divisions, nation against nation and town against town, because God sent all sorts of trouble on them.

bbe@2Chronicles:15:8 @And Asa, hearing these words of Azariah, the son of Oded the prophet, took heart and put away all the disgusting things out of all the land of Judah and Benjamin, and out of the towns which he had taken from the hill-country of Ephraim; and he made new again the altar of the Lord in front of the covered way of the Lord's house.

bbe@2Chronicles:15:10 @So they came together at Jerusalem in the third month, in the fifteenth year of the rule of Asa.

bbe@2Chronicles:15:11 @And that day they made offerings to the Lord of the things they had taken in war, seven hundred oxen and seven thousand sheep.

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:15:16 @And Asa would not let Maacah, his mother, be queen, because she had made a disgusting image for Asherah; and Asa had her image cut down and broken up and burned by the stream Kidron.

bbe@2Chronicles:15:18 @He took into the house of God all the things which his father had made holy and those which he himself had made holy, silver and gold and vessels.

bbe@2Chronicles:16:2 @Then Asa took silver and gold out of the stores of the Lord's house and of the king's store-house, and sent to Ben-hadad, king of Aram, at Damascus, saying,

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:16:10 @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: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:17:11 @And some of the Philistines took offerings to Jehoshaphat, and made him payments of silver; and the Arabians gave him flocks, seven thousand, seven hundred sheep, and seven thousand, seven hundred he-goats.

bbe@2Chronicles:17:13 @He had much property in the towns of Judah; he had forces of armed men, great and strong, in Jerusalem.

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:17:18 @And after him Jehozabad, and with him a hundred and eighty thousand trained for war.

bbe@2Chronicles:18:4 @Then Jehoshaphat said to the king of Israel, Let us now get directions from the Lord.

bbe@2Chronicles:18:7 @And the king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat, There is still one man by whom we may get directions from the Lord, but I have no love for him, because he has never been a prophet of good to me, but only of evil: he is Micaiah, the son of Imla. And Jehoshaphat said, Let not the king say so.

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:18:16 @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:19:1 @And Jehoshaphat, king of Judah, went back to his house in Jerusalem in peace.

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:19:4 @And Jehoshaphat was living in Jerusalem; and he went out again among the people, from Beer-sheba to the hill-country of Ephraim, guiding them back to the Lord, the God of their fathers.

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:19:10 @And if any cause comes before you from your brothers living in their towns, where the death punishment is in question, or where there are questions of law or order, or rules or decisions, make them take care that they are not in the wrong before the Lord, so that wrath may not come on you and on your brothers; do this and you yourselves will not be in the wrong

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:20:5 @And Jehoshaphat took his place in the meeting of Judah and Jerusalem, in the house of the Lord in front of the new open space,

bbe@2Chronicles:20:8 @And they made it their living-place, building there a holy house for your name, and saying,

bbe@2Chronicles:20:9 @If evil comes on us, the sword, or punishment, or disease, or need of food, we will come to this house and to you, (for your name is in this house,) crying to you in our trouble, and you will give us salvation in answer to our cry.

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:20:12 @O our God, will you not be their judge? for our strength is not equal to this great army which is coming against us; and we are at a loss what to do: but our eyes are on you

bbe@2Chronicles:20:15 @And he said, Give ear, O Judah, and you people of Jerusalem, and you, King Jehoshaphat: the Lord says to you, Have no fear and do not be troubled on account of this great army; for the fight is not yours but God's.

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:20:20 @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:20:26 @On the fourth day they all came together in the Valley of Blessing, and there they gave blessing to the Lord; for which cause that place has been named the Valley of Blessing to this day.

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:20:31 @And Jehoshaphat was king over Judah: he was thirty-five years old when he became king, and he was ruling for twenty-five years in Jerusalem: his mother's name was Azubah, the daughter of Shilhi.

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:21:3 @And their father gave them much silver and gold and things of great value, as well as walled towns in Judah; but the kingdom he gave to Jehoram, because he was the oldest.

bbe@2Chronicles:21:5 @Jehoram was thirty-two years old when he became king; and he was ruling in Jerusalem for eight years.

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:21:10 @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:21:11 @And more than this, he made high places in the mountains of Judah, teaching the people of Jerusalem to go after false gods, and guiding Judah away from the true way.

bbe@2Chronicles:21:12 @And a letter came to him from Elijah the prophet, saying, The Lord, the God of your father David, says, Because you have not kept to the ways of your father Jehoshaphat or the ways of Asa, king of Judah,

bbe@2Chronicles:21:13 @But have gone in the way of the kings of Israel, and have made Judah and the people of Jerusalem go after false gods, as the family of Ahab did: and because you have put to death your father's sons, your brothers, who were better than yourself:

bbe@2Chronicles:21:15 @And you yourself will undergo the cruel pains of a disease in your stomach, so that day by day your inside will be falling out because of the disease.

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:21:19 @And time went on, and after two years, his inside falling out because of the disease, he came to his death in cruel pain. And his people made no burning for him like the burning made for his fathers.

bbe@2Chronicles:21:20 @He was thirty-two years old when he became king, and he was ruling in Jerusalem for eight years: and at his death he was not regretted; they put his body into the earth in the town of David, but not in the resting-place of the kings.

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:22:2 @Ahaziah was twenty-two years old when he became king, and he was ruling in Jerusalem for one year. His mother's name was Athaliah, the daughter of Omri.

bbe@2Chronicles:22:6 @And he went back to Jezreel to get well from the wounds which they had given him at Ramah when he was fighting against Hazael, king of Aram. And Ahaziah, the son of Jehoram, king of Judah, went down to Jezreel to see Jehoram, the son of Ahab, because he was ill.

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:23:2 @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:23:5 @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:23:9 @Then Jehoiada the priest gave to the captains of hundreds the spears and body-covers which had been King David's and which were kept in the house of God.

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:23:12 @Now Athaliah, hearing the noise of the people running and praising the king, came to the people in the house of the Lord:

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:23:15 @So they put their hands on her, and she went to the king's house by the doorway of the king's horses; and there she was put to death.

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:23:19 @And he put door-keepers at the doors of the Lord's house, to see that no one who was unclean in any way might come in.

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:24:1 @Joash was seven years old when he became king, and he was ruling for forty years in Jerusalem: his mother's name was Zibiah of Beer-sheba.

bbe@2Chronicles:24:4 @Now after this Joash had a desire to put the house of the Lord into good order again;

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:24:9 @And an order was sent out through all Judah and Jerusalem that payment was to be made to the Lord of the tax which Moses, the servant of God, had put on Israel in the waste land.

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:24:16 @And they put him into his last resting-place in the town of David, among the kings, because he had done good in Israel for God and for his house.

bbe@2Chronicles:24:18 @And they gave up the house of the Lord God of their fathers, and became worshippers of pillars of wood and of the images; and because of this sin of theirs, wrath came on Judah and Jerusalem.

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:24:23 @Now in the spring, the army of the Aramaeans came up against him; they came against Judah and Jerusalem, putting to death all the great men of the people and sending all the goods they took from them to the king of Damascus.

bbe@2Chronicles:24:24 @For though the army of Aram was only a small one, the Lord gave a very great army into their hands, because they had given up the Lord, the God of their fathers. So they put into effect the punishment of Joash.

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:24:27 @Now the story of his sons, and all the words said by the prophet against him, and the building up again of the Lord's house, are recorded in the account in the book of the kings. And Amaziah his son became king in his place.

bbe@2Chronicles:25:6 @And for a hundred talents of silver, he got a hundred thousand fighting-men from Israel.

bbe@2Chronicles:25:11 @Then Amaziah took heart, and went out at the head of his people and came to the Valley of Salt, where he put to death ten thousand of the children of Seir;

bbe@2Chronicles:25:12 @And ten thousand more the children of Israel took living, and made them go up to the top of the rock, pushing them down from the top of the rock so that their bodies were broken by the fall.

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:25:16 @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:25:17 @Then Amaziah, king of Judah, acting on the suggestion of his servants, sent to Joash, the son of Jehoahaz, the son of Jehu, king of Israel, saying, Come, let us have a meeting face to face.

bbe@2Chronicles:25:18 @And Joash, king of Israel, sent to Amaziah, king of Judah, saying, The thorn-tree in Lebanon sent to the cedar in Lebanon, saying, Give your daughter to my son for a wife: and a beast from the woodland in Lebanon went by, crushing the thorn under his feet.

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:25:20 @But Amaziah gave no attention; and this was the purpose of God, so that he might give them up into the hands of Joash, because they had gone after the gods of Edom.

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:25:27 @Now from the time when Amaziah gave up worshipping the Lord, they made secret designs against him in Jerusalem; and he went in flight to Lachish: but they sent to Lachish after him and put him to death there.

bbe@2Chronicles:26:3 @Uzziah was sixteen years old when he became king, and he was ruling in Jerusalem for fifty-two years; his mother's name was Jechiliah of Jerusalem.

bbe@2Chronicles:26:9 @Uzziah made towers in Jerusalem, at the doorway in the angle and at the doorway in the valley and at the turn of the wall, arming them.

bbe@2Chronicles:26:12 @The heads of families, the strong men of war, were two thousand, six hundred.

bbe@2Chronicles:26:13 @And under their orders was a trained army of three hundred and seven thousand, five hundred, of great strength in war, helping the king against any who came against him.

bbe@2Chronicles:26:15 @And in Jerusalem he made machines, the invention of expert men, to be placed on the towers and angles of the walls for sending arrows and great stones. And his name was honoured far and wide; for he was greatly helped till he was strong.

bbe@2Chronicles:26:16 @But when he had become strong, his heart was lifted up in pride, causing his destruction; and he did evil against the Lord his God; for he went into the Temple of the Lord for the purpose of burning perfumes on the altar of perfumes.

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:26:21 @So King Uzziah was a leper till the day of his death, living separately in his private house; for he was cut off from the house of God; and Jotham his son was ruling over his house, judging the people of the land.

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:27:1 @Jotham was twenty-five years old when he became king; and he was ruling in Jerusalem for sixteen years; and his mother's name was Jerushah, the daughter of Zadok.

bbe@2Chronicles:27:3 @He put up the higher doorway of the house of the Lord, and did much building on the wall of the Ophel.

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:27:6 @So Jotham became strong, because in all his ways he made the Lord his guide.

bbe@2Chronicles:27:8 @He was twenty-five years old when he became king, and he was ruling in Jerusalem for sixteen years.

bbe@2Chronicles:28:1 @Ahaz was twenty years old when he became king, and he was ruling in Jerusalem for sixteen years; he did not do what was right in the eyes of the Lord, like David his father:

bbe@2Chronicles:28:3 @More than this, he had offerings burned in the valley of the son of Hinnom, and made his children go through fire, copying the disgusting ways of the nations whom the Lord had sent out of the land before the children of Israel.

bbe@2Chronicles:28:5 @So the Lord his God gave him up into the hands of the king of Aram; and they overcame him, and took away a great number of his people as prisoners to Damascus. Then he was given into the hands of the king of Israel, who sent great destruction on him.

bbe@2Chronicles:28:6 @For Pekah, the son of Remaliah, in one day put to death a hundred and twenty thousand men of Judah, all of them good fighting-men; because they had given up the Lord, the God of their fathers.

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:28:8 @And the children of Israel took away as prisoners from their brothers, two hundred thousand, women and sons and daughters, and a great store of their goods, and took them to Samaria.

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:28:10 @And now your purpose is to keep the children of Judah and Jerusalem as men-servants and women-servants under your yoke: but are there no sins against the Lord your God to be seen among yourselves?

bbe@2Chronicles:28:13 @And said to them, You are not to let these prisoners come here; for what you are designing to do will be a cause of sin against the Lord to us, making even greater our sin and our wrongdoing, which now are great enough, and his wrath is burning against Israel.

bbe@2Chronicles:28:19 @For the Lord made Judah low, because of Ahaz, king of Israel; for he had given up all self-control in Judah, sinning greatly against the Lord.

bbe@2Chronicles:28:20 @Then Tiglath-pileser, king of Assyria, came to him, but was a cause of trouble and not of strength to him.

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:28:23 @For he made offerings to the gods of Damascus, who were attacking him, and said, Because the gods of the kings of Aram are giving them help, I will make offerings to them so that they may give me help. But they were the cause of his downfall, and of that of all Israel.

bbe@2Chronicles:28:24 @And Ahaz got together the vessels of the house of God, cutting up all the vessels of the house of God, and shutting the doors of the Lord's house; and he made altars in every part of Jerusalem.

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:29:1 @Hezekiah became king when he was twenty-five years old; and he was king in Jerusalem for twenty-nine years; and his mother's name was Abijah, the daughter of Zechariah.

bbe@2Chronicles:29:3 @In the first year of his rule, in the first month, opening the doors of the Lord's house, he made them strong.

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:29:6 @For our fathers have done evil, sinning in the eyes of the Lord our God, and have given him up, turning away their faces from the house of the Lord, and turning their backs on him.

bbe@2Chronicles:29:7 @The doors of his house have been shut and the lights put out; no perfumes have been burned or offerings made to the God of Israel in his holy place.

bbe@2Chronicles:29:8 @And so the wrath of the Lord has come on Judah and Jerusalem, and he has given them up to be a cause of fear and wonder and shame, as your eyes have seen.

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:29:15 @And they got their brothers together and made themselves holy, and went in, as the king had said by the word of the Lord, to make the house of the Lord clean.

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:29:17 @On the first day of the first month the work of making the house holy was started, and on the eighth day they came to the covered way of the Lord; in eight days they made the Lord's house holy, and on the sixteenth day of the first month the work was done

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:29:20 @Then Hezekiah the king got up early, and got together the great men of the town, and went up to the house of the Lord.

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:29:25 @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:29:31 @Then Hezekiah made answer and said, Now that you have given yourselves to the Lord, come near and take offerings and praise-offerings into the house of the Lord. So all the people took in offerings and praise-offerings: and those whose hearts were moved, took in burned offerings.

bbe@2Chronicles:29:33 @And the holy things were six hundred oxen and three thousand sheep.

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:29:36 @And Hezekiah and all the people were full of joy, because God had made the people ready: for the thing was done suddenly.

bbe@2Chronicles:30:1 @Then Hezekiah sent word to all Israel and Judah, and sent letters to Ephraim and Manasseh, requesting them to come to the house of the Lord at Jerusalem, to keep the Passover to the Lord, the God of Israel.

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:30:7 @Do not be like your fathers and your brothers, who were sinners against the Lord, the God of their fathers, so that he made them a cause of fear, as you see.

bbe@2Chronicles:30:11 @However, some of Asher and Manasseh and Zebulun put away their pride and came to Jerusalem.

bbe@2Chronicles:30:13 @So a very great number of people came together at Jerusalem to keep the feast of unleavened bread in the second month.

bbe@2Chronicles:30:14 @And they got to work and took away all the altars in Jerusalem, and they put all the vessels for burning perfumes into the stream Kidron.

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:30:21 @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:30:24 @For Hezekiah, king of Judah, gave to the people for offerings, a thousand oxen and seven thousand sheep; and the rulers gave a thousand oxen and ten thousand sheep; and a great number of priests made themselves holy.

bbe@2Chronicles:30:26 @So there was great joy in Jerusalem: for nothing like this had been seen in Jerusalem from the time of Solomon, the son of David, king of Israel.

bbe@2Chronicles:31:1 @Now when all this was over, all the men of Israel who were present went out into the towns of Judah, causing the stone pillars to be broken up and the wood pillars to be cut down, pulling down the high places and the altars in all Judah and Benjamin, as well as in Ephraim and Manasseh, till all were gone. Then all the children of Israel went back to their towns, every man to his property.

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:31:4 @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:31:10 @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:31:11 @Then Hezekiah said that store-rooms were to be made ready in the house of the Lord; and this was done.

bbe@2Chronicles:31:13 @And Jehiel and Azaziah and Nahath and Asahel and Jerimoth and Jozabad and Eliel and Ismachiah and Mahath and Benaiah were overseers, under the directions of Conaniah and Shimei his brother, by the order of Hezekiah the king and Azariah, the ruler of the house of God.

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:31:21 @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:32:2 @And when Hezekiah saw that Sennacherib had come for the purpose of fighting against Jerusalem,

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:32:18 @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:32:19 @Talking of the God of Jerusalem as if he was like the gods of the peoples of the earth, the work of men's hands.

bbe@2Chronicles:32:20 @And Hezekiah the king, and Isaiah the prophet, the son of Amoz, made prayer because of this, crying out to heaven.

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:32:22 @So the Lord gave Hezekiah and the people of Jerusalem salvation from the power of Sennacherib, the king of Assyria, and from all others, giving them rest on every side.

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:32:25 @But Hezekiah did not do as had been done to him; for his heart was lifted up in pride; and so wrath came on him and on Judah and Jerusalem.

bbe@2Chronicles:32:26 @But then, Hezekiah, in sorrow for what he had done, put away his pride; and he and all Jerusalem made themselves low, so that the wrath of the Lord did not come on them in Hezekiah's life-time.

bbe@2Chronicles:32:27 @And Hezekiah had very great wealth and honour; and he made himself store-houses for his gold and silver and jewels and spices, and for body-covers and all sorts of beautiful vessels.

bbe@2Chronicles:32:28 @And store-houses for the produce of grain and wine and oil; and buildings for all sorts of beasts and flocks.

bbe@2Chronicles:32:31 @However, in the business of the representatives sent by the rulers of Babylon to get news of the wonder which had taken place in the land, God gave up guiding him, testing him to see what was in his heart.

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:33:1 @Manasseh was twelve years old when he became king, and he was ruling for fifty-five years in Jerusalem.

bbe@2Chronicles:33:2 @He did evil in the eyes of the Lord, copying the disgusting ways of the nations whom the Lord had sent out of the land before the children of Israel.

bbe@2Chronicles:33:4 @And he made altars in the house of the Lord, of which the Lord had said, In Jerusalem will my name be for ever.

bbe@2Chronicles:33:5 @And he made altars for all the stars of heaven in the two outer squares of the house of the Lord.

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:33:7 @And he put the image he had made in the house of God, the house of which God had said to David and to Solomon his son, In this house, and in Jerusalem, the town which I have made mine out of all the tribes of Israel, will I put my name for ever:

bbe@2Chronicles:33:13 @And made prayer to him; and in answer to his prayer God let him come back to Jerusalem and to his kingdom. Then Manasseh was certain that the Lord was God.

bbe@2Chronicles:33:15 @He took away the strange gods and the image out of the house of the Lord, and all the altars he had put up on the hill of the Lord's house and in Jerusalem, and put them out of the town.

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:34:3 @In the eighth year of his rule, while he was still young, his heart was first turned to the God of his father David; and in the twelfth year he undertook the clearing away of all the high places and the pillars and the images of wood and metal from Judah and Jerusalem.

bbe@2Chronicles:34:4 @He had the altars of the Baals broken down, while he himself was present; and the sun-images which were placed on high over them he had cut down; and the pillars of wood and the metal images he had broken up and crushed to dust, dropping the dust over the resting-places of the dead who had made offerings to them.

bbe@2Chronicles:34:5 @And he had the bones of the priests burned on their altars, and so he made Judah and Jerusalem clean.

bbe@2Chronicles:34:6 @And in all the towns of Manasseh and Ephraim and Simeon as far as Naphtali, he made waste their houses round about.

bbe@2Chronicles:34:7 @He had the altars and the pillars of wood pulled down and the images crushed to dust, and all the sun-images cut down, through all the land of Israel, and then he went back to Jerusalem.

bbe@2Chronicles:34:8 @Now in the eighteenth year of his rule, when the land and the house had been made clean, he sent Shaphan, the son of Azaliah, and Maaseiah, the ruler of the town, and Joah, the son of Joahaz, the recorder, to make good what was damaged in the house of the Lord his God.

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: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:35:18 @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@2Chronicles:35:20 @After all this, and after Josiah had put the house in order, Neco, king of Egypt, went up to make war at Carchemish by the river Euphrates; and Josiah went out against him.

bbe@2Chronicles:35:24 @So his servants took him out of the line of war-carriages, and put him in his second carriage and took him to Jerusalem, where he came to his end, and they put his body in the resting-place of his fathers. And in all Judah and Jerusalem there was great weeping for Josiah.

bbe@2Chronicles:36:1 @Then the people of the land took Jehoahaz, the son of Josiah, and made him king in Jerusalem in place of his father.

bbe@2Chronicles:36:2 @Jehoahaz was twenty-three years old when he became king; he was ruling in Jerusalem for three months.

bbe@2Chronicles:36:3 @Then the king of Egypt took the kingdom from him in Jerusalem, and put on the land a tax of a hundred talents of silver and a talent of gold.

bbe@2Chronicles:36:4 @And the king of Egypt made Eliakim his brother king over Judah and Jerusalem, changing his name to Jehoiakim. And Neco took his brother Jehoahaz away to Egypt.

bbe@2Chronicles:36:5 @Jehoiakim was twenty-five years old when he became king; he was ruling in Jerusalem for eleven years, and he did evil in the eyes of the Lord his God.

bbe@2Chronicles:36:7 @And Nebuchadnezzar took away some of the vessels of the Lord's house, and put them in the house of his god in Babylon.

bbe@2Chronicles:36:8 @Now the rest of the acts of Jehoiakim and the disgusting things he did, and all there is to be said against him, are recorded in the book of the kings of Israel and Judah; and Jehoiachin his son became king in his place.

bbe@2Chronicles:36:9 @Jehoiachin was eighteen years old when he became king; he was ruling in Jerusalem for three months and ten days, and he did evil in the eyes of the Lord.

bbe@2Chronicles:36:10 @In the spring of the year King Nebuchadnezzar sent and took him away to Babylon, with the beautiful vessels of the house of the Lord, and made Zedekiah, his father's brother, king over Judah and Jerusalem.

bbe@2Chronicles:36:11 @Zedekiah was twenty-one years old when he became king; he was ruling in Jerusalem for eleven years.

bbe@2Chronicles:36:14 @And more than this, all the great men of Judah and the priests and the people made their sin great, turning to all the disgusting ways of the nations; and they made unclean the house of the Lord which he had made holy in Jerusalem.

bbe@2Chronicles:36:15 @And the Lord, the God of their fathers, sent word to them by his servants, sending early and frequently, because he had pity on his people and on his living-place;

bbe@2Chronicles:36:17 @So he sent against them the king of the Chaldaeans, who put their young men to death with the sword in the house of their holy place, and had no pity for any, young man or virgin, old man or white-haired: God gave them all into his hands.

bbe@2Chronicles:36:18 @And all the vessels of the house of God, great and small, and the stored wealth of the Lord's house and the wealth of the king and his chiefs, he took away to Babylon.

bbe@2Chronicles:36:19 @And the house of God was burned and the wall of Jerusalem broken down; all its great houses were burned with fire and all its beautiful vessels given up to destruction.

bbe@2Chronicles:36:22 @Now in the first year of Cyrus, king of Persia, in order that the words which the Lord had said by the mouth of Jeremiah might come true, the spirit of Cyrus, king of Persia, was moved by the Lord, and he made a public statement and had it given out through all his kingdom and put in writing, saying,

bbe@2Chronicles:36:23 @Cyrus, king of Persia, has said, All the kingdoms of the earth have been given to me by the Lord, the God of heaven; and he has made me responsible for building a house for him in Jerusalem, which is in Judah. Whoever there is among you of all his people, may the Lord his God be with him and let him go up.

bbe@Ezra:1:1 @Now in the first year of Cyrus, king of Persia, in order that the word of the Lord given by the mouth of Jeremiah might come true, the spirit of Cyrus, king of Persia, was moved by the Lord, so that he made a public statement through all his kingdom, and put it in writing, saying,

bbe@Ezra:1:2 @These are the words of Cyrus, king of Persia: The Lord God of heaven has given me all the kingdoms of the earth; and he has made me responsible for building a house for him in Jerusalem, which is in Judah.

bbe@Ezra:1:3 @Whoever there is among you of his people, may his God be with him, and let him go up to Jerusalem, which is in Judah, and take in hand the building of the house of the Lord, the God of Israel; he is the God who is in Jerusalem.

bbe@Ezra:1:4 @And whoever there may be of the rest of Israel, living in any place, let the men of that place give him help with offerings of silver and gold and goods and beasts, in addition to the offering freely given for the house of God in Jerusalem.

bbe@Ezra:1:5 @Then the heads of families of Judah and Benjamin, with the priests and the Levites, got ready, even all those whose spirits were moved by God to go up and take in hand the building of the Lord's house in Jerusalem.

bbe@Ezra:1:7 @And Cyrus the king got out the vessels of the house of the Lord which Nebuchadnezzar had taken from Jerusalem and put in the house of his gods;

bbe@Ezra:1:8 @Even these Cyrus made Mithredath, the keeper of his wealth, get out, and he gave them, after numbering them, to Sheshbazzar, the ruler of Judah.

bbe@Ezra:1:9 @And this is the number of them: there were thirty gold plates, a thousand silver plates, twenty-nine knives,

bbe@Ezra:1:10 @Thirty gold basins, four hundred and ten silver basins, and a thousand other vessels.

bbe@Ezra:1:11 @There were five thousand, four hundred gold and silver vessels. All these were taken back by Sheshbazzar, when those who had been taken prisoner went up from Babylon to Jerusalem.

bbe@Ezra:2:1 @Now these are the people of the divisions of the kingdom, among those who had been made prisoners by Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon, and taken away to Babylon, who went back to Jerusalem and Judah, everyone to his town;

bbe@Ezra:2:3 @The children of Parosh, two thousand, one hundred and seventy-two.

bbe@Ezra:2:6 @The children of Pahath-moab, of the children of Jeshua and Joab, two thousand, eight hundred and twelve.

bbe@Ezra:2:7 @The children of Elam, a thousand, two hundred and fifty-four.

bbe@Ezra:2:12 @The children of Azgad, a thousand, two hundred and twenty-two.

bbe@Ezra:2:14 @The children of Bigvai, two thousand and fifty-six.

bbe@Ezra:2:31 @The children of the other Elam, a thousand, two hundred and fifty-four.

bbe@Ezra:2:35 @The children of Senaah, three thousand, six hundred and thirty.

bbe@Ezra:2:36 @The priests: the children of Jedaiah, of the house of Jeshua, nine hundred and seventy-three.

bbe@Ezra:2:37 @The children of Immer, a thousand and fifty-two.

bbe@Ezra:2:38 @The children of Pashhur, a thousand, two hundred and forty-seven.

bbe@Ezra:2:39 @The children of Harim, a thousand and seventeen.

bbe@Ezra:2:41 @The music-makers: the children of Asaph, a hundred and twenty-eight

bbe@Ezra:2:64 @The number of all the people together was forty-two thousand, three hundred and sixty,

bbe@Ezra:2:65 @As well as their men-servants and their women-servants, of whom there were seven thousand, three hundred and thirty-seven: and they had two hundred men and women to make music.

bbe@Ezra:2:67 @Four hundred and thirty-five camels, six thousand, seven hundred and twenty asses.

bbe@Ezra:2:68 @And some of the heads of families, when they came to the house of the Lord which is in Jerusalem, gave freely of their wealth for the building up of the house of God in its place:

bbe@Ezra:2:69 @Every one, as he was able, gave for the work sixty-one thousand darics of gold, five thousand pounds of silver and a hundred priests' robes.

bbe@Ezra:2:70 @So the priests and the Levites and the people and the music-makers and the door-keepers and the Nethinim, took up their places in their towns; even all Israel in their towns.

bbe@Ezra:3:1 @And when the seventh month came, and the children of Israel were in the towns, the people came together like one man to Jerusalem.

bbe@Ezra:3:3 @They put the altar on its base; for fear was on them because of the people of the countries: and they made burned offerings on it to the Lord, even burned offerings morning and evening.

bbe@Ezra:3:7 @And they gave money to the stoneworkers and woodworkers; and meat and drink and oil to the people of Zidon and of Tyre, for the transport of cedar-trees from Lebanon to the sea, to Joppa, as Cyrus, king of Persia, had given them authority to do.

bbe@Ezra:3:8 @Now in the second year of their coming into the house of God in Jerusalem, in the second month, the work was taken in hand by Zerubbabel, the son of Shealtiel, and Jeshua, the son of Jozadak, and the rest of their brothers the priests and the Levites, and all those who had come from the land where they were prisoners to Jerusalem: and they made the Levites, of twenty years old and over, responsible for overseeing the work of the house of the Lord.

bbe@Ezra:3:9 @Then Jeshua with his sons and his brothers, Kadmiel with his sons, the sons of Hodaviah, together took up the work of overseeing the workmen in the house of God: the sons of Henadad with their sons and their brothers, the Levites.

bbe@Ezra:3:11 @And they gave praise to the Lord, answering one another in their songs and saying, For he is good, for his mercy to Israel is eternal. And all the people gave a great cry of joy, when they gave praise to the Lord, because the base of the Lord's house was put in place.

bbe@Ezra:3:12 @But a number of the priests and Levites and the heads of families, old men who had seen the first house, when the base of this house was put down before their eyes, were overcome with weeping; and a number were crying out with joy:

bbe@Ezra:4:2 @Then they came to Zerubbabel and to the heads of families, and said to them, Let us take part in the building with you; for we are servants of your God, even as you are; and we have been making offerings to him from the days of Esar-haddon, king of Assyria, who put us here.

bbe@Ezra:4:3 @But Zerubbabel and Jeshua and the rest of the heads of families in Israel said to them, You have no part with us in the building of a house for our God; we ourselves will do the work together for the Lord, the God of Israel, as Cyrus, king of Persia, has given us orders.

bbe@Ezra:4:5 @And they gave payment to men who made designs against them and kept them from effecting their purpose, all through the time of Cyrus, king of Persia, till Darius became king.

bbe@Ezra:4:6 @And in the time of Ahasuerus, when he first became king, they put on record a statement against the people of Judah and Jerusalem.

bbe@Ezra:4:8 @Rehum, the chief ruler, and Shimshai the scribe, sent a letter against Jerusalem, to Artaxerxes the king;

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:4:12 @We give news to the king that the Jews who came from you have come to us at Jerusalem; they are building up again that uncontrolled and evil town; the walls are complete and they are joining up the bases.

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:4:18 @And now the sense of the letter which you sent to us has been made clear to me,

bbe@Ezra:4:20 @Further, there have been great kings in Jerusalem, ruling over all the country across the river, to whom they gave taxes and payments in goods and forced payments.

bbe@Ezra:4:23 @Then, after reading the king's letter, Rehum and Shimshai the scribe and their friends went quickly to Jerusalem, to the Jews, and had them stopped by force.

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:5:1 @Now the prophets Haggai and Zechariah, the son of Iddo, were preaching to the Jews in Judah and Jerusalem in the name of the God of Israel.

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:5:3 @At the same time, Tattenai, ruler of the land across the river, and Shethar-bozenai, and their men, came to them and said, Who gave you orders to go on building this house and this wall?

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:5:7 @They sent him a letter saying, To Darius the king, all peace:

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:5:11 @And they made answer to us, saying, We are the servants of the God of heaven and earth, and we are building the house which was put up in times long past and was designed and made complete by a great king of Israel.

bbe@Ezra:5:12 @But when the God of heaven was moved to wrath by our fathers, he gave them up into the hands of Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon, the Chaldaean, who sent destruction on this house and took the people away into Babylon

bbe@Ezra:5:13 @But in the first year of Cyrus, king of Babylon, Cyrus the king gave an order for the building of this house of God;

bbe@Ezra:5:14 @And the gold and silver vessels of the house of God, which Nebuchadnezzar took from the Temple which was in Jerusalem, and put into the house of his god in Babylon, these Cyrus the king took from the house of his god in Babylon, and gave to one named Sheshbazzar, whom he had made ruler;

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:6:1 @Then Darius the king gave an order and a search was made in the house of the records, where the things of value were stored up in Babylon.

bbe@Ezra:6:2 @And at Achmetha, in the great house of the king in the land of Media, they came across a roll, in which this statement was put on record:

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:6:7 @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:6:9 @And whatever they have need of, young oxen and sheep and lambs, for burned offerings to the God of heaven, grain, salt, wine, and oil, whatever the priests in Jerusalem say is necessary, is to be given to them day by day regularly:

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:6:15 @And the building of this house was complete on the third day of the month Adar, in the sixth year of the rule of Darius the king.

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:6:17 @And they gave as offerings at the opening of this house of God a hundred oxen, two hundred sheep, four hundred lambs; and for a sin-offering for all Israel, twelve he-goats, being the number of the tribes of Israel.

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:6:22 @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:7:7 @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:7:8 @And he came to Jerusalem in the fifth month, in the seventh year of the king's rule.

bbe@Ezra:7:9 @For, starting his journey from Babylon on the first day of the first month, he came to Jerusalem on the first day of the fifth month, by the good help of his God.

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:7:14 @Because you are sent by the king and his seven wise men, to get knowledge about Judah and Jerusalem, as you are ordered by the law of your God which is in your hand;

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:7:19 @And the vessels which have been given to you for the uses of the house of your God, you are to give to the God of Jerusalem.

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:7:23 @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:7:27 @Praise be to the Lord, the God of our fathers, who has put such a thing into the heart of the king, to make fair the house of the Lord which is in Jerusalem;

bbe@Ezra:8:2 @Of the sons of Phinehas, Gershom; of the sons of Ithamar, Daniel; of the sons of David, Hattush;

bbe@Ezra:8:17 @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:8:21 @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:8:22 @For I would not, for shame, make request to the king for a band of armed men and horsemen to give us help against those who might make attacks on us on the way: for we had said to the king, The hand of our God is on his servants for good, but his power and his wrath are against all those who are turned away from him.

bbe@Ezra:8:25 @And gave to them by weight the silver and the gold and the vessels, all the offering for the house of our God which the king and his wise men and his captains and all Israel there present had given:

bbe@Ezra:8:27 @And twenty gold basins, of a thousand darics, and two vessels of the best bright brass, equal in value to gold.

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:8:32 @And we came to Jerusalem and were there for three days.

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:8:36 @And they gave the king's orders to the king's captains and the rulers across the river, and they gave the people and the house of God the help which was needed.

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:9:4 @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:9:8 @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:9:13 @And after everything which has come on us because of our evil-doing and our great sin, and seeing that the punishment which you, O God, have given us, is less than the measure of our sins, and that you have kept from death those of us who are here;

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:9:15 @O Lord God of Israel, righteousness is yours; we are only a small band which has been kept from death, as at this day: see, we are before you in our sin; for no one may keep his place before you because of this.

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:10:6 @Then Ezra got up from before the house of God and went into the room of Jehohanan, the son of Eliashib; but when he came there, he took no food or drink, for he was sorrowing for the sin of those who had come back.

bbe@Ezra:10:7 @And they made a public statement through all Judah and Jerusalem, to all those who had come back, that they were to come together to Jerusalem;

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@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:2:8 @And a letter to Asaph, the keeper of the king's park, so that he may give me wood to make boards for the doors of the tower of the house, and for the wall of the town, and for the house which is to be mine. And the king gave me this, for the hand of my God was on me.

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

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:2:18 @Then I gave them an account of how the hand of my God was on me, helping me; and of the king's words which he had said to me. And they said, Let us get to work on the building. So they made their hands strong for the good work.

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:3:8 @Near them was working Uzziel, the son of Harhaiah, the gold-worker. And by him was Hananiah, one of the perfume-makers, building up Jerusalem as far as the wide wall.

bbe@Nehemiah:3:9 @Near them was working Rephaiah, the son of Hur, the ruler of half Jerusalem.

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:3:16 @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:3:20 @After him Baruch, the son of Zabbai, was hard at work on another part, from the turning of the wall to the door of the house of Eliashib, the chief priest.

bbe@Nehemiah:3:21 @After him Meremoth, the son of Uriah, the son of Hakkoz, was working on another part, from the door of the house of Eliashib as far as the end of his house.

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:3:24 @After him Binnui, the son of Henadad, was working on another part, from the house of Azariah as far as the turning of the wall and the angle.

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:3:28 @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:4:2 @And in the hearing of his countrymen and the army of Samaria he said, What are these feeble Jews doing? will they make themselves strong? will they make offerings? will they get the work done in a day? will they make the stones which have been burned come again out of the dust?

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:4:8 @And they made designs, all of them together, to come and make an attack on Jerusalem, causing trouble there.

bbe@Nehemiah:4:9 @But we made our prayer to God, and had men on watch against them day and night because of them.

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:4:14 @And after looking, I got up and said to the great ones and to the chiefs and to the rest of the people, Have no fear of them: keep in mind the Lord who is great and greatly to be feared, and take up arms for your brothers, your sons, and your daughters, your wives and your houses.

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:4:20 @Wherever you may be when the horn is sounded, come here to us; our God will be fighting for us.

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:5:2 @For there were some who said, We, our sons and our daughters, are a great number: let us get grain, so that we may have food for our needs.

bbe@Nehemiah:5:3 @And there were some who said, We are giving our fields and our vine-gardens and our houses for debt: let us get grain because we are in need.

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:5:10 @Even I and my servants have been taking interest for the money and the grain we have let them have. So now, let us give up this thing.

bbe@Nehemiah:5:11 @Give back to them this very day their fields, their vine-gardens, their olive-gardens, and their houses, as well as a hundredth part of the money and the grain and the wine and the oil which you have taken from them.

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:5:15 @But earlier rulers who were before me made the people responsible for their upkeep, and took from them bread and wine at the rate of forty shekels of silver; and even their servants were lords over the people: but I did not do so, because of the fear of God.

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:5:18 @Now the food made ready for one day was one ox and six fat sheep, as well as fowls; and once in ten days a store of all sorts of wine: but all the same, I did not take the food to which the ruler had a right, because the people were crushed under a hard yoke.

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:6:7 @And that you have prophets preaching about you in Jerusalem, and saying, There is a king in Judah: now an account of these things will be sent to the king. So come now, and let us have a discussion.

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:6:10 @And I went to the house of Shemaiah, the son of Delaiah, the son of Mehetabel, who was shut up; and he said, Let us have a meeting in the house of God, inside the Temple, and let the doors be shut: for they will come to put you to death; truly, in the night they will come to put you to death.

bbe@Nehemiah:6:16 @And when our haters had news of this, all the nations round about us were full of fear and were greatly shamed, for they saw that this work had been done by our God.

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:7:6 @These are the people of the divisions of the kingdom, among those who had been made prisoners by Nebuchadnezzar, the king of Babylon, and taken away by him, who went back to Jerusalem and Judah, every one to his town;

bbe@Nehemiah:7:8 @The children of Parosh, two thousand, one hundred and seventy-two.

bbe@Nehemiah:7:11 @The children of Pahath-moab, of the children of Jeshua and Joab, two thousand, eight hundred and eighteen.

bbe@Nehemiah:7:12 @The children of Elam, a thousand, two hundred and fifty-four.

bbe@Nehemiah:7:17 @The children of Azgad, two thousand, three hundred and twenty-two.

bbe@Nehemiah:7:19 @The children of Bigvai, two thousand and sixty-seven.

bbe@Nehemiah:7:34 @The children of the other Elam, a thousand, two hundred and fifty-four.

bbe@Nehemiah:7:38 @The children of Senaah, three thousand, nine hundred and thirty.

bbe@Nehemiah:7:40 @The children of Immer, a thousand and fifty-two.

bbe@Nehemiah:7:41 @The children of Pashhur, a thousand, two hundred and forty-seven.

bbe@Nehemiah:7:42 @The children of Harim, a thousand and seventeen.

bbe@Nehemiah:7:44 @The music-makers: the children of Asaph, a hundred and forty-eight.

bbe@Nehemiah:7:52 @The children of Besai, the children of Meunim, the children of Nephushesim,

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:7:66 @The number of all the people together was forty-two thousand, three hundred and sixty;

bbe@Nehemiah:7:67 @As well as their men-servants and their women-servants, of whom there were seven thousand, three hundred and thirty-seven; and they had two hundred and forty-five men and women to make music.

bbe@Nehemiah:7:69 @Four hundred and thirty-five camels, six thousand, seven hundred and twenty asses.

bbe@Nehemiah:7:70 @And some of the heads of families gave money for the work. The Tirshatha gave into the store a thousand darics of gold, fifty basins, five hundred and thirty priests' robes.

bbe@Nehemiah:7:71 @And some of the heads of families gave into the store for the work twenty thousand darics of gold, and two thousand, two hundred pounds of silver.

bbe@Nehemiah:7:72 @And that which the rest of the people gave was twenty thousand darics of gold, and two thousand pounds of silver, and sixty-seven priests' robes.

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:8:12 @And all the people went away to take food and drink, and to send food to others, and to be glad, because the words which were said to them had been made clear.

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:8:16 @And the people went out and got them and made themselves tents, every one on the roof of his house, and in the open spaces and in the open squares of the house of God, and in the wide place of the water-doorway, and the wide place of the doorway of Ephraim.

bbe@Nehemiah:9:1 @Now on the twenty-fourth day of this month the children of Israel came together, taking no food and putting haircloth and dust on their bodies.

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:9:25 @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:9:32 @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:9:33 @But still, you have been in the right in everything which has come on us; you have been true to us, but we have done evil:

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:10:4 @Hattush, Shebaniah, Malluch,

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:10:32 @And we made rules for ourselves, taxing ourselves a third of a shekel every year for the upkeep of the house of our God;

bbe@Nehemiah:10:33 @For the holy bread, and for the regular meal offering and the regular burned offering on the Sabbaths and at the new moon and the fixed feasts, and for the sin-offerings to take away the sin of Israel, and for all the work of the house of our God.

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:11:1 @And the rulers of the people were living in Jerusalem: the rest of the people made selection, by the decision of chance, of one out of every ten to be living in Jerusalem, the holy town; the other nine to go to the other towns.

bbe@Nehemiah:11:2 @And the people gave a blessing to all the men who were freely offering to take up their places in Jerusalem.

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:11:4 @And in Jerusalem there were living certain of the children of Judah and of Benjamin. Of the children of Judah: Athaiah, the son of Uzziah, the son of Zechariah, the son of Amariah, the son of Shephatiah, the son of Mahalalel, of the children of Perez;

bbe@Nehemiah:11:6 @All the sons of Perez living in Jerusalem were four hundred and sixty-eight men of good position.

bbe@Nehemiah:11:11 @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:11:12 @And their brothers who did the work of the house, eight hundred and twenty-two; and Adaiah, the son of Jeroham, the son of Pelaliah, the son of Amzi, the son of Zechariah, the son of Pashhur, the son of Malchijah,

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:11:22 @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:11:23 @For there was an order from the king about them and a regular amount for the music-makers, for their needs day by day.

bbe@Nehemiah:12:2 @Amariah, Malluch, Hattush,

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:12:22 @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:12:25 @Mattaniah, and Bakbukiah, Obadiah, Meshullam, Talmon, Akkub, were door-keepers keeping the watch at the store-houses of the doors.

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:12:29 @And from Beth-gilgal and from the fields of Geba and Azmaveth: for the music-makers had made daughter-towns for themselves round about Jerusalem.

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:12:37 @And by the doorway of the fountain and straight in front of them, they went up by the steps of the town of David, at the slope up of the wall, over the house of David, as far as the water-doorway to the east.

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:12:43 @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:12:45 @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:12:46 @For in the days of David and Asaph in the past, there was a master of the music, and songs of blessing and praise to God.

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:13:2 @Because they did not give the children of Israel bread and water when they came to them, but got Balaam to put a curse on them: though the curse was turned into a blessing by our God.

bbe@Nehemiah:13:4 @Now before this, Eliashib the priest, who had been placed over the rooms of the house of our God, being a friend of Tobiah,

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:13:6 @But all this time I was not at Jerusalem: for in the thirty-second year of Artaxerxes, king of Babylon, I went to the king; and after some days, I got the king to let me go,

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:13:9 @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:13:11 @Then I made protests to the chiefs, and said, Why has the house of God been given up? And I got them together and put them in their places.

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:13:18 @Did not your fathers do the same, and did not our God send all this evil on us and on this town? but you are causing more wrath to come on Israel by not keeping the Sabbath holy.

bbe@Nehemiah:13:19 @And so, when the streets of Jerusalem were getting dark before the Sabbath, I gave orders for the doors to be shut and not to be open again till after the Sabbath: and I put some of my servants by the door so that nothing might be taken in on the Sabbath day.

bbe@Nehemiah:13:20 @So the traders in all sorts of goods took their night's rest outside Jerusalem once or twice.

bbe@Nehemiah:13:24 @And their children were talking half in the language of Ashdod; they had no knowledge of the Jews' language, but made use of the language of the two peoples.

bbe@Nehemiah:13:25 @And I took up the cause against them, cursing them and giving blows to some of them and pulling out their hair; and I made them take an oath by God, saying, You are not to give your daughters to their sons or take their daughters for your sons or for yourselves.

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@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:1:2 @That in those days, when King Ahasuerus was ruling in Shushan, his strong town,

bbe@Esther:1:5 @And at the end of that time, the king gave a feast for all the people who were present in Shushan, the king's town, small as well as great, for seven days, in the outer square of the garden of the king's house.

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:1:9 @And Vashti the queen gave a feast for the women in the house of King Ahasuerus.

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:1:15 @What is to be done by law to Vashti the queen, because she has not done what King Ahasuerus, by his servants, gave her orders to do?

bbe@Esther:1:16 @And before the king and the captains, Memucan gave his answer: Vashti the queen has done wrong, not only to the king, but to all the captains and to all the peoples in all the divisions of the kingdom of King Ahasuerus;

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:2:3 @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:2:5 @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:2:8 @So when the order made by the king was publicly given out, and a number of girls had been placed in the care of Hegai in the king's house in Shushan, Esther was taken into the king's house and put in the care of Hegai, the keeper of the women.

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:2:11 @And every day Mordecai took his walk before the square of the women's house, to see how Esther was and what would be done to her.

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:2:14 @In the evening she went, and on the day after she came back to the second house of the women, into the keeping of Shaashgaz, one of the king's unsexed servants who had the care of the king's wives: only if the king had delight in her and sent for her by name did she go in to him again.

bbe@Esther:2:16 @So Esther was taken in to King Ahasuerus in his house in the tenth month, which is the month Tebeth, in the seventh year of his rule.

bbe@Esther:2:19 @And when the virgins came together in the second house of the women, Mordecai took his seat in the doorway of the king's house.

bbe@Esther:2:21 @In those days, while Mordecai was seated at the king's doorway, two of the king's servants, Bigthan and Teresh, keepers of the door, being angry, were looking for a chance to make an attack on King Ahasuerus.

bbe@Esther:3:2 @And all the king's servants who were in the king's house went down to the earth before Haman and gave him honour: for so the king had given orders. But Mordecai did not go down before him or give him honour.

bbe@Esther:3:3 @Then the king's servants who were in the king's house said to Mordecai, Why do you go against the king's order?

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:3:7 @In the first month, the month Nisan, in the twelfth year of King Ahasuerus, from day to day and from month to month they went on looking for a sign given by Pur (that is chance) before Haman, till the sign came out for the thirteenth day of the twelfth month, the month Adar.

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:3:12 @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:3:15 @The runners went out quickly by the king's order, and a public statement was made in Shushan: and the king and Haman took wine together: but the town of Shushan was troubled.

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:4:8 @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:4:13 @Then Mordecai sent this answer back to Esther: Do not have the idea that you in the king's house will be safe from the fate of all the Jews.

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:5:1 @Now on the third day, Esther put on her queen's robes, and took her place in the inner room of the king's house, facing the king's house: and the king was seated on his high seat in the king's house, facing the doorway of the house.

bbe@Esther:5:10 @But controlling himself, he went to his house; and he sent for his friends and Zeresh, his wife.

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:7:5 @Then King Ahasuerus said to Esther the queen, Who is he and where is he who has had this evil thought in his heart?

bbe@Esther:7:8 @Then the king came back from the garden into the room where they had been drinking; and Haman was stretched out on the seat where Esther was. Then the king said, Is he taking the queen by force before my eyes in my house? And while the words were on the king's lips, they put a cloth over Haman's face.

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:8:7 @Then King Ahasuerus said to Esther the queen and to Mordecai the Jew, See now, I have given Esther the family of Haman, and he has come to his death by hanging, because he made an attack on the Jews.

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:8:12 @On one day in every division of the kingdom of Ahasuerus, that is, on the thirteenth day of the twelfth month, the month Adar.

bbe@Esther:8:14 @So the men went out on the quick-running horses used on the king's business, wasting no time and forced on by the king's order; and the order was given out in Shushan, the king's town.

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:9:2 @On that day, the Jews came together in their towns through all the divisions of the kingdom of Ahasuerus, for the purpose of attacking all those who were attempting evil against them: and everyone had to give way before them, for the fear of them had come on all the peoples.

bbe@Esther:9:3 @And all the chiefs and the captains and the rulers and those who did the king's business gave support to the Jews; because the fear of Mordecai had come on them.

bbe@Esther:9:4 @For Mordecai was great in the king's house, and word of him went out through every part of the kingdom: for the man Mordecai became greater and greater.

bbe@Esther:9:6 @And in Shushan the Jews put to death five hundred men.

bbe@Esther:9:11 @On that day the number of those who had been put to death in the town of Shushan was given to the king.

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:9:14 @And the king said that this was to be done, and the order was given out in Shushan, and the hanging of Haman's ten sons was effected.

bbe@Esther:9:15 @For the Jews who were in Shushan came together again on the fourteenth day of the month Adar and put to death three hundred men in Shushan; but they put not a hand on their goods.

bbe@Esther:9:16 @And the other Jews in every division of the kingdom came together, fighting for their lives, and got salvation from their haters and put seventy-five thousand of them to death; but they did not put a hand on their goods.

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:9:20 @And Mordecai sent letters to all the Jews in every division of the kingdom of Ahasuerus, near and far,

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:9:25 @But when the business was put before the king, he gave orders by letters that the evil design which he had made against the Jews was to be turned against himself; and that he and his sons were to be put to death by hanging.

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:9:30 @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:10:1 @And King Ahasuerus put a tax on the land and on the islands of the sea.

bbe@Esther:10:3 @For Mordecai the Jew was second only to King Ahasuerus, and great among the Jews and respected by the body of his countrymen; working for the good of his people, and saying words of peace to all his seed.

bbe@Job:1:3 @And of cattle he had seven thousand sheep and goats, and three thousand camels, and a thousand oxen, and five hundred she-asses, and a very great number of servants. And the man was greater than any of the sons of the east.

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:1:10 @Have you yourself not put a wall round him and his house and all he has on every side, blessing the work of his hands, and increasing his cattle in the land?

bbe@Job:1:13 @And there was a day when his sons and daughters were feasting in the house of their oldest brother,

bbe@Job:1:18 @And this one was still talking when another came, and said, Your sons and your daughters were feasting together in their oldest brother's house,

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: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:2:9 @And his wife said to him, Are you still keeping your righteousness? Say a curse against God, and put an end to yourself.

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:2:12 @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:3:10 @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:4:19 @How much more those living in houses of earth, whose bases are in the dust! They are crushed more quickly than an insect;

bbe@Job:5:2 @For wrath is the cause of death to the foolish, and he who has no wisdom comes to his end through passion.

bbe@Job:5:3 @I have seen the foolish taking root, but suddenly the curse came on his house.

bbe@Job:5:4 @Now his children have no safe place, and they are crushed before the judges, for no one takes up their cause.

bbe@Job:5:6 @For evil does not come out of the dust, or trouble out of the earth;

bbe@Job:5:8 @But as for me, I would make my prayer to God, and I would put my cause before him:

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: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:6:16 @Which are dark because of the ice, and the snow falling into them;

bbe@Job:6:17 @Under the burning sun they are cut off, and come to nothing because of the heat.

bbe@Job:6:20 @They were put to shame because of their hope; they came and their hope was gone.

bbe@Job:6:29 @Let your minds be changed, and do not have an evil opinion of me; yes, be changed, for my righteousness is still in me.

bbe@Job:6:30 @Is there evil in my tongue? is not the cause of my trouble clear to me?

bbe@Job:7:5 @My flesh is covered with worms and dust; my skin gets hard and then is cracked again.

bbe@Job:7:10 @He will not come back to his house, and his place will have no more knowledge of him.

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:8:6 @If you are clean and upright; then he will certainly be moved to take up your cause, and will make clear your righteousness by building up your house again.

bbe@Job:8:9 @(For we are but of yesterday, and have no knowledge, because our days on earth are gone like a shade:)

bbe@Job:8:19 @Such is the joy of his way, and out of the dust another comes up to take his place.

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:9:9 @Who made the Bear and Orion, and the Pleiades, and the store-houses of the south:

bbe@Job:9:14 @How much less may I give an answer to him, using the right words in argument with him?

bbe@Job:9:15 @Even if my cause was good, I would not be able to give an answer; I would make request for grace from him who was against me.

bbe@Job:9:17 @For I would be crushed by his storm, my wounds would be increased without cause.

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:9:26 @They go rushing on like reed-boats, like an eagle dropping suddenly on its food.

bbe@Job:9:31 @Then you will have me pushed into the dust, so that I will seem disgusting to my very clothing.

bbe@Job:9:33 @There is no one to give a decision between us, who might have control over us.

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:10:9 @O keep in mind that you made me out of earth; and will you send me back again to dust?

bbe@Job:10:11 @By you I was clothed with skin and flesh, and joined together with bones and muscles.

bbe@Job:10:16 @And that if there was cause for pride, you would go after me like a lion; and again put out your wonders against me:

bbe@Job:11:2 @Are all these words to go unanswered? and is a man seen to be right because he is full of talk?

bbe@Job:11:18 @And you will be safe because there is hope; after looking round, you will take your rest in quiet;

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:13:8 @Will you have respect for God's person in this cause, and put yourselves forward as his supporters?

bbe@Job:13:12 @Your wise sayings are only dust, and your strong places are only earth.

bbe@Job:13:18 @See now, I have put my cause in order, and I am certain that I will be seen to be right.

bbe@Job:13:22 @Then at the sound of your voice I will give answer; or let me put forward my cause for you to give me an answer.

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:14:18 @But truly a mountain falling comes to dust, and a rock is moved from its place;

bbe@Job:14:19 @The stones are crushed small by the force of the waters; the dust of the earth is washed away by their overflowing: and so you put an end to the hope of man.

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:15:10 @With us are men who are grey-haired and full of years, much older than your father.

bbe@Job:15:16 @How much less one who is disgusting and unclean, a man who takes in evil like water!

bbe@Job:15:18 @(The things which wise men have got from their fathers, and have not kept secret from us;

bbe@Job:15:25 @Because his hand is stretched out against God, and his heart is lifted up against the Ruler of all,

bbe@Job:15:27 @Because his face is covered with fat, and his body has become thick;

bbe@Job:15:28 @And he has made his resting-place in the towns which have been pulled down, in houses where no man had a right to be, whose fate was to become masses of broken walls.

bbe@Job:16:14 @I am broken with wound after wound; he comes rushing on me like a man of war.

bbe@Job:16:15 @I have made haircloth the clothing of my skin, and my horn is rolled in the dust.

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:17:2 @Truly, those who make sport of me are round about me, and my eyes become dark because of their bitter laughing.

bbe@Job:17:4 @You have kept their hearts from wisdom: for this cause you will not give them honour.

bbe@Job:17:7 @My eyes have become dark because of my pain, and all my body is wasted to a shade.

bbe@Job:17:8 @The upright are surprised at this, and he who has done no wrong is troubled because of the evil-doers.

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:18:4 @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:18:15 @In his tent will be seen that which is not his, burning stone is dropped on his house.

bbe@Job:18:21 @Truly, these are the houses of the sinner, and this is the place of him who has no knowledge of God.

bbe@Job:19:2 @How long will you make my life bitter, crushing me with words?

bbe@Job:19:5 @If you make yourselves great against me, using my punishment as an argument against me,

bbe@Job:19:7 @Truly, I make an outcry against the violent man, but there is no answer: I give a cry for help, but no one takes up my cause.

bbe@Job:19:14 @My relations and my near friends have given me up, and those living in my house have put me out of their minds.

bbe@Job:19:17 @My breath is strange to my wife, and I am disgusting to the offspring of my mother's body.

bbe@Job:19:25 @But I am certain that he who will take up my cause is living, and that in time to come he will take his place on the dust;

bbe@Job:19:28 @If you say, How cruel we will be to him! because the root of sin is clearly in him:

bbe@Job:20:2 @For this cause my thoughts are troubling me and driving me on.

bbe@Job:20:11 @His bones are full of young strength, but it will go down with him into the dust.

bbe@Job:20:16 @He takes the poison of snakes into his mouth, the tongue of the snake is the cause of his death.

bbe@Job:20:19 @Because he has been cruel to the poor, turning away from them in their trouble; because he has taken a house by force which he did not put up;

bbe@Job:20:21 @He had never enough for his desire; for this cause his well-being will quickly come to an end.

bbe@Job:20:28 @The produce of his house is taken away into another country, like things given into the hands of others in the day of wrath.

bbe@Job:21:9 @Their houses are free from fear, and the rod of God does not come on them.

bbe@Job:21:12 @They make songs to the instruments of music, and are glad at the sound of the pipe.

bbe@Job:21:14 @Though they said to God, Go away from us, for we have no desire for the knowledge of your ways

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:21:21 @For what interest has he in his house after him, when the number of his months is ended?

bbe@Job:21:26 @Together they go down to the dust, and are covered by the worm.

bbe@Job:21:27 @See, I am conscious of your thoughts, and of your violent purposes against me;

bbe@Job:21:28 @For you say, Where is the house of the ruler, and where is the tent of the evil-doer?

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:22:9 @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:22:16 @Who were violently taken away before their time, who were overcome by the rush of waters:

bbe@Job:22:17 @Who said to God, Go away from us; and, What is the Ruler of all able to do to us?

bbe@Job:22:18 @Though he made their houses full of good things: but the purpose of the evil-doers is far from me!

bbe@Job:22:24 @And put your gold in the dust, even your gold of Ophir among the rocks of the valleys;

bbe@Job:23:4 @I would put my cause in order before him, and my mouth would be full of arguments.

bbe@Job:23:6 @Would he make use of his great power to overcome me? No, but he would give attention to me.

bbe@Job:23:7 @There an upright man might put his cause before him; and I would be free for ever from my judge.

bbe@Job:23:15 @For this cause I am in fear before him, my thoughts of him overcome me.

bbe@Job:24:4 @The crushed are turned out of the way; all the poor of the earth go into a secret place together.

bbe@Job:24:11 @Between the lines of olive-trees they make oil; though they have no drink, they are crushing out the grapes.

bbe@Job:24:16 @In the dark he makes holes in the walls of houses: in the daytime they are shutting themselves up, they have no knowledge of the light.

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: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:27:15 @When those of his house who are still living come to their end by disease, they are not put into the earth, and their widows are not weeping for them.

bbe@Job:27:16 @Though he may get silver together like dust, and make ready great stores of clothing;

bbe@Job:27:18 @His house has no more strength than a spider's thread, or a watchman's tent.

bbe@Job:27:20 @Fears overtake him like rushing waters; in the night the storm-wind takes him away.

bbe@Job:27:23 @Men make signs of joy because of him, driving him from his place with sounds of hissing.

bbe@Job:37:23 @There is no searching out of the Ruler of all: his strength and his judging are great; he is full of righteousness, doing no wrong.

bbe@Job:39:28 @On the rock is his house, and on the mountain-top his strong place.

bbe@Job:40:12 @Let them be covered together in the dust; let their faces be dark in the secret place of the underworld.

bbe@Job:40:16 @His tail is curving like a cedar; the muscles of his legs are joined together.

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:41:24 @His heart is as strong as a stone, hard as the lower crushing-stone.

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:42:8 @And now, take seven oxen and seven sheep, and go to my servant Job, and give a burned offering for yourselves, and my servant Job will make prayer for you, that I may not send punishment on you; because you have not said what is right about me, as my servant Job has.

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@Ecclesiastes:1:10 @Is there anything of which men say, See, this is new? It has been in the old time which was before us.

bbe@Ecclesiastes:1:12 @I, the Preacher, was king over Israel in Jerusalem.

bbe@Ecclesiastes:1:16 @I said to my heart, See, I have become great and am increased in wisdom more than any who were before me in Jerusalem--yes, my heart has seen much wisdom and knowledge.

bbe@Ecclesiastes:1:18 @Because in much wisdom is much grief, and increase of knowledge is increase of sorrow.

bbe@Ecclesiastes:2:2 @Of laughing I said, It is foolish; and of joy--What use is it?

bbe@Ecclesiastes:2:4 @I undertook great works, building myself houses and planting vine-gardens.

bbe@Ecclesiastes:2:7 @I got men-servants and women-servants, and they gave birth to sons and daughters in my house. I had great wealth of herds and flocks, more than all who were in Jerusalem before me.

bbe@Ecclesiastes:2:9 @And I became great; increasing more than all who had been before me in Jerusalem, and my wisdom was still with me.

bbe@Ecclesiastes:2:10 @And nothing which was desired by my eyes did I keep from them; I did not keep any joy from my heart, because my heart took pleasure in all my work, and this was my reward.

bbe@Ecclesiastes:2:17 @So I was hating life, because everything under the sun was evil to me: all is to no purpose and desire for wind.

bbe@Ecclesiastes:2:18 @Hate had I for all my work which I had done, because the man who comes after me will have its fruits.

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:3:1 @For everything there is a fixed time, and a time for every business under the sun.

bbe@Ecclesiastes:3:15 @Whatever is has been before, and what is to be is now; because God makes search for the things which are past.

bbe@Ecclesiastes:3:16 @And again, I saw under the sun, in the place of the judges, that evil was there; and in the place of righteousness, that evil was there.

bbe@Ecclesiastes:3:17 @I said in my heart, God will be judge of the good and of the bad; because a time for every purpose and for every work has been fixed by 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:3:20 @All go to one place, all are of the dust, and all will be turned to dust again.

bbe@Ecclesiastes:3:22 @So I saw that there is nothing better than for a man to have joy in his work--because that is his reward. Who will make him see what will come after him?

bbe@Ecclesiastes:4:4 @And I saw that the cause of all the work and of everything which is done well was man's envy of his neighbour. This again is to no purpose and a desire for wind.

bbe@Ecclesiastes:4:9 @Two are better than one, because they have a good reward for their work.

bbe@Ecclesiastes:4:10 @And if one has a fall, the other will give him a hand; but unhappy is the man who is by himself, because he has no helper

bbe@Ecclesiastes:4:14 @Because out of a prison the young man comes to be king, though by birth he was only a poor man in the kingdom.

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:5:7 @Because much talk comes from dreams and things of no purpose. But let the fear of God be in you.

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:5:20 @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:6:6 @And though he goes on living a thousand years twice over and does not see good, are not the two going to the same place?

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:7:4 @The hearts of the wise are in the house of weeping; but the hearts of the foolish are in the house of joy.

bbe@Ecclesiastes:7:9 @Be not quick to let your spirit be angry; because wrath is in the heart of the foolish.

bbe@Ecclesiastes:7:15 @These two have I seen in my life which is to no purpose: a good man coming to his end in his righteousness, and an evil man whose days are long in his evil-doing.

bbe@Ecclesiastes:7:16 @Be not given overmuch to righteousness and be not over-wise

bbe@Ecclesiastes:7:20 @There is no man on earth of such righteousness that he does good and is free from sin all his days.

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:8:3 @Be not quick to go from before him. Be not fixed in an evil design, because he does whatever is pleasing to him.

bbe@Ecclesiastes:8:6 @For every purpose there is a time and a decision, because the sorrow of man is great in him.

bbe@Ecclesiastes:8:10 @And then I saw evil men put to rest, taken even from the holy place; and they went about and were praised in the town because of what they had done. This again is to no purpose.

bbe@Ecclesiastes:8:11 @Because punishment for an evil work comes not quickly, the minds of the sons of men are fully given to doing evil.

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:8:16 @When I gave my mind to the knowledge of wisdom and to seeing the business which is done on the earth (and there are those whose eyes see not sleep by day or by night),

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:9:2 @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:9:5 @The living are conscious that death will come to them, but the dead are not conscious of anything, and they no longer have a reward, because there is no memory of them.

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: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:10:15 @The work of the foolish will be a weariness to him, because he has no knowledge of the way to the town.

bbe@Ecclesiastes:10:18 @When no work is done the roof goes in, and when the hands do nothing water comes into the house.

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:11:2 @Give a part to seven or even to eight, because you have no knowledge of the evil which will be on the earth.

bbe@Ecclesiastes:11:6 @In the morning put your seed into the earth, and till the evening let not your hand be at rest; because you are not certain which will do well, this or that--or if the two will be equally good.

bbe@Ecclesiastes:11:8 @But even if a man's life is long and he has joy in all his years, let him keep in mind the dark days, because they will be great in number. Whatever may come is to no purpose.

bbe@Ecclesiastes:11:10 @So put away trouble from your heart, and sorrow from your flesh; because the early years and the best years are to no purpose.

bbe@Ecclesiastes:12:3 @In the day when the keepers of the house are shaking for fear, and the strong men are bent down, and the women who were crushing the grain are at rest because their number is small, and those looking out of the windows are unable to see;

bbe@Ecclesiastes:12:4 @When the doors are shut in the street, and the sound of the crushing is low, and the voice of the bird is soft, and the daughters of music will be made low;

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:12:9 @And because the Preacher was wise he still gave the people knowledge; searching out, testing, and putting in order a great number of wise sayings.

bbe@Songs:1:4 @Take me to you, and we will go after you: the king has taken me into his house. We will be glad and full of joy in you, we will give more thought to your love than to wine: rightly are they your lovers.

bbe@Songs:1:5 @I am dark, but fair of form, O daughters of Jerusalem, as the tents of Kedar, as the curtains of Solomon.

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:1:17 @Cedar-trees are the pillars of our house; and our boards are made of fir-trees.

bbe@Songs:2:4 @He took me to the house of wine, and his flag over me was 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:2:15 @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:3:8 @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:3:11 @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:4:4 @Your neck is like the tower of David made for a store-house of arms, in which a thousand breastplates are hanging, breastplates for fighting-men.

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: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:5:9 @What is your loved one more than another, O fairest among women? What is your loved one more than another, that you say this to us?

bbe@Songs:5:10 @My loved one is white and red, the chief among ten thousand.

bbe@Songs:5:16 @His mouth is most sweet; yes, he is all beautiful. This is my loved one, and this is my friend, O daughters of Jerusalem.

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:6:12 @Before I was conscious of it,...

bbe@Songs:7:4 @Your neck is as a tower of ivory; your eyes like the waters in Heshbon, by the doorway of Bath-rabbim; your nose is as the tower on Lebanon looking over Damascus:

bbe@Songs:7:11 @Come, my loved one, let us go out into the field; let us take rest among the cypress-trees.

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:8:2 @I would take you by the hand into my mother's house, and she would be my teacher. I would give you drink of spiced wine, drink of the pomegranate.

bbe@Songs:8:4 @I say to you, O daughters of Jerusalem, do not let love be moved till it is ready.

bbe@Songs:8:7 @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:8:11 @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@Isaiah:1:1 @The vision of Isaiah, the son of Amoz, which he saw about Judah and Jerusalem, in the days of Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah, kings of Judah.

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:1:9 @If the Lord of armies had not kept some at least of us safe, we would have been like Sodom, and the fate of Gomorrah would have been ours.

bbe@Isaiah:1:11 @What use to me is the number of the offerings which you give me? says the Lord; your burned offerings of sheep, and the best parts of fat cattle, are a weariness to me; I take no pleasure in the blood of oxen, or of lambs, or of he-goats.

bbe@Isaiah:1:12 @At whose request do you come before me, making my house unclean with your feet?

bbe@Isaiah:1:13 @Give me no more false offerings; the smoke of burning flesh is disgusting to me, so are your new moons and Sabbaths and your holy meetings.

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:1:17 @Take pleasure in well-doing; let your ways be upright, keep down the cruel, give a right decision for the child who has no father, see to the cause of the widow.

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:1:21 @The upright town has become untrue; there was a time when her judges gave right decisions, when righteousness had a resting-place in her, but now she is full of those who take men's lives.

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:1:26 @And I will give you judges again as at the first, and wise guides as in the past; then you will be named, The Town of Righteousness, the true town.

bbe@Isaiah:1:27 @Upright acts will be the price of Zion's forgiveness, and by righteousness will men be living there.

bbe@Isaiah:1:29 @For you will be put to shame because of the trees of your desire, and because of the gardens of your pleasure.

bbe@Isaiah:2:1 @The word which Isaiah, the son of Amoz, saw about Judah and Jerusalem.

bbe@Isaiah:2:3 @And the peoples will say, Come, and let us go up to the mountain of the Lord, to the house of the God of Jacob: and he will give us knowledge of his ways, and we will be guided by his word; for out of Zion the law will go out, and the word of the Lord from Jerusalem.

bbe@Isaiah:2:5 @O family of Jacob, come, and let us go in the light of the Lord.

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:2:9 @And the poor man's head is bent, and the great man goes down on his face: for this cause there will be no forgiveness for their sin.

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:3:1 @For the Lord, the Lord of armies, is about to take away from Jerusalem and from Judah all their support; their store of bread and of water;

bbe@Isaiah:3:2 @The strong man and the man of war; the judge and the prophet; the man who has knowledge of secret arts, and the man who is wise because of his years;

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:3:8 @For Jerusalem has become feeble, and destruction has come on Judah, because their words and their acts are against the Lord, moving the eyes of his glory to wrath.

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:3:13 @The Lord is ready to take up his cause against his people, and is about to come forward as their judge.

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:4:1 @And in that day seven women will put their hands on one man, saying, There will be no need for you to give us food or clothing, only let us go under your name, so that our shame may be taken away.

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:4:4 @When Zion has been washed from her sin by the Lord, and Jerusalem made clean from her blood by a judging and a burning wind.

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:5:3 @And now, you people of Jerusalem and you men of Judah, be the judges between me and my vine-garden.

bbe@Isaiah:5:7 @For the vine-garden of the Lord of armies is the people of Israel, and the men of Judah are the plant of his delight: and he was looking for upright judging, and there was blood; for righteousness, and there was a cry for help.

bbe@Isaiah:5:8 @Cursed are those who are joining house to house, and putting field to field, till there is no more living-space for any but themselves in all the land!

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:5:13 @For this cause my people are taken away as prisoners into strange countries for need of knowledge: and their rulers are wasted for need of food, and their loud-voiced feasters are dry for need of water.

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:5:16 @But the Lord of armies is lifted up as judge, and the Holy God is seen to be holy in righteousness.

bbe@Isaiah:5:18 @Cursed are those who make use of ox-cords for pulling the evil thing, and the bands of a young ox for their sin!

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:5:23 @Who for a reward give support to the cause of the sinner, and who take away the righteousness of the upright from him.

bbe@Isaiah:5:24 @For this cause, as the waste of the grain is burned up by tongues of fire, and as the dry grass goes down before the flame, so their root will be like the dry stems of grain, and their flower will go up in dust: because they have gone against the law of the Lord of armies, and have given no honour to the word of the Holy One of Israel.

bbe@Isaiah:5:28 @Their arrows are sharp, and every bow is bent: the feet of their horses are like rock, and their wheels are like a rushing storm.

bbe@Isaiah:6:4 @And the bases of the door-pillars were shaking at the sound of his cry, and the house was full of smoke.

bbe@Isaiah:6:8 @And the voice of the Lord came to my ears, saying, Whom am I to send, and who will go for us? Then I said, Here am I, send me.

bbe@Isaiah:6:11 @Then I said, Lord, how long? And he said in answer, Till the towns are waste and unpeopled, and the houses have no men, and the land becomes completely waste,

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:7:4 @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:7:5 @Because Aram has made evil designs against you, saying,

bbe@Isaiah:7:6 @Let us go up against Judah, troubling her, and forcing our way into her, and let us put up a king in her, even the son of Tabeel:

bbe@Isaiah:7:8 @For the head of Aram is Damascus, and the head of Damascus is Rezin (and in sixty-five years from now Ephraim will be broken, and will no longer be a people):

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:7:17 @The Lord is about to send on you, and on your people, and on your father's house, such a time of trouble as there has not been from the days of the separating of Ephraim from Judah; even the coming of the king of Assyria.

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:8:4 @For before the child is able to say, Father, or, Mother, the wealth of Damascus and the goods of Samaria will be taken away by the king of Assyria.

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:8:14 @And he will be for a holy place: but for a stone of falling and a rock of trouble to the two houses of Israel, and to the men of Jerusalem, for a net in which they may be taken.

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:9:6 @For to us a child has come, to us a son is given; and the government has been placed in his hands; and he has been named Wise Guide, Strong God, Father for ever, Prince of Peace.

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:9:11 @For this cause the Lord has made strong the haters of Israel, driving them on to make war against him;

bbe@Isaiah:9:14 @For this cause the Lord took away from Israel head and tail, high and low, in one day.

bbe@Isaiah:9:16 @For the guides of this people are the cause of their wandering from the right way, and those who are guided by them come to destruction.

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:10:2 @Who do wrong to the poor in their cause, and take away the right of the crushed among my people, so that they may have the property of widows, and get under their power those who have no father.

bbe@Isaiah:10:6 @I will send him against a nation of wrongdoers, and against the people of my wrath I will give him orders, to take their wealth in war, crushing them down like the dust in the streets.

bbe@Isaiah:10:9 @Will not the fate of Calno be like that of Carchemish? is not Hamath as Arpad? is not Samaria as Damascus?

bbe@Isaiah:10:10 @As my hand has come on the kingdoms of the images, whose pictured images were more in number than those of Jerusalem and Samaria;

bbe@Isaiah:10:11 @So, as I have done to Samaria and her images, I will do to Jerusalem and her images.

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:10:16 @For this cause the Lord, the Lord of armies, will make his fat become wasted; and in his inner parts a fire will be lighted like a burning flame.

bbe@Isaiah:10:22 @For though your people, O Israel, are as the sand of the sea, only a small number will come back: for the destruction is fixed, overflowing in righteousness.

bbe@Isaiah:10:24 @For this cause the Lord, the Lord of armies, says, O my people living in Zion, have no fear of the Assyrian, even if his rod comes on your back, and his stick is lifted up as in Egypt.

bbe@Isaiah:10:32 @This very day he is stopping at Nob; he is shaking his hand against the mountain of the daughter of Zion, the hill of Jerusalem.

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:11:9 @There will be no cause of pain or destruction in all my holy mountain: for the earth will be full of the knowledge of the Lord as the sea is covered by the waters.

bbe@Isaiah:11:11 @And in that day the hand of the Lord will be stretched out the second time to get back the rest of his people, from Assyria, and from Egypt, and from Pathros, and from Cush, and from Elam, and from Shinar, and from Hamath, and from the sea-lands

bbe@Isaiah:13:7 @For this cause all hands will be feeble, and every heart of man be turned to water;

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:13:18 @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:13:21 @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:13:22 @And wolves will be answering one another in their towers, and jackals in their houses of pleasure: her time is near, and her days of power will quickly be ended.

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:14:10 @They all make answer and say to you, Have you become feeble like us? have you been made even as we are?

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:14:17 @Who made the world a waste, overturning its towns; who did not let his prisoners loose from the prison-house

bbe@Isaiah:14:18 @All the kings of the earth are at rest in glory, every man in his 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:14:25 @To let the Assyrian be broken in my land, and crushed under foot on my mountains: there will his yoke be taken away from them, and his rule over them come to an end.

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:15:7 @For this cause they will take away their wealth, and the stores they have got together, over the stream of the water-plants.

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:16:7 @For this cause everyone in Moab will give cries of grief for Moab: crushed to the earth, they will be weeping for the men of Kir-hareseth.

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:16:11 @For this cause the cords of my heart are sounding for Moab, and I am full of sorrow for Kir-heres.

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:17:1 @The word about Damascus. See, they have made Damascus a town no longer; it has become a waste place.

bbe@Isaiah:17:3 @The strong tower has gone from Ephraim, and the kingdom from Damascus: the rest of Aram will come to destruction, and be made like the glory of the children of Israel, says the Lord of armies.

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:17:12 @Ah! the voice of peoples, like the loud sounding of the seas, and the thundering of great nations rushing on like the bursting out of waters!

bbe@Isaiah:17:13 @But he will put a stop to them, and make them go in flight far away, driving them like the waste of the grain on the tops of the mountains before the wind, and like the circling dust before the storm.

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:19:10 @And the makers of twisted thread will be crushed, and those who

bbe@Isaiah:19:13 @The chiefs of Zoan have become foolish, the chiefs of Noph are tricked, the heads of her tribes are the cause of Egypt's wandering out of the way.

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:19:18 @In that day there will be five towns in the land of Egypt using the language of Canaan, and making oaths to the Lord of armies; and one of them will be named, The Town of the Sun.

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:19:25 @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: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:21:3 @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:21:10 @O my crushed ones, the grain of my floor! I have given you the word which came to me from the Lord of armies, the God of Israel.

bbe@Isaiah:22:1 @The word about the valley of vision. Why have all your people gone up to the house-tops?

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:22:8 @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:22:10 @And you had the houses of Jerusalem numbered, pulling down the houses to make the wall stronger.

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:22:18 @Twisting you round and round like a ball he will send you out into a wide country: there you will come to your end, and there will be the carriages of your pride, O shame of your lord's house!

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: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:23:8 @By whom was this purposed against Tyre, the crowning town, whose traders are chiefs, whose business men are honoured in the land?

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:23:14 @Let a cry of sorrow go up, O ships of Tarshish: because your strong place is made waste.

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: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:24:5 @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:24:8 @The pleasing sound of all instruments of music has come to an end, and the voices of those who are glad.

bbe@Isaiah:24:10 @The town is waste and broken down: every house is shut up, so that no man may come in.

bbe@Isaiah:24:11 @There is a crying in the streets because of the wine; there is an end of all delight, the joy of the land is gone.

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:24:22 @And they will be got together, like prisoners in the prison-house; and after a long time they will have their punishment.

bbe@Isaiah:24:23 @Then the moon will be veiled, and the sun put to shame; for the Lord of armies will be ruling in Mount Zion and in Jerusalem, and before his judges he will let his glory be seen.

bbe@Isaiah:25:3 @For this cause will the strong people give glory to you, the town of the cruel ones will be in fear of you.

bbe@Isaiah:25:4 @For you have been a strong place for the poor and the crushed in their trouble, a safe place from the storm, a shade from the heat, when the wrath of the cruel ones is like a winter storm.

bbe@Isaiah:25:10 @For in this mountain will the hand of the Lord come to rest, and Moab will be crushed down in his place, even as the dry stems of the grain are crushed under foot in the waste place.

bbe@Isaiah:25:12 @And the strong tower of your walls has been broken by him, made low, and crushed even to the dust.

bbe@Isaiah:26:3 @The man whose heart is unmoved you will keep in peace, because his hope is in you.

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:26:9 @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:26:10 @Even if you are kind to the evil-doer, he will not go after righteousness; even in the land of the upright he will still go on in his wrongdoing, and will not see the glory of the Lord.

bbe@Isaiah:26:12 @Lord, you will give us peace: for all our works are the outcome of your purpose.

bbe@Isaiah:26:13 @O Lord, our God, other lords than you have had rule over us; but in you only is our salvation, and no other name will we take on our lips.

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:26:16 @Lord, in trouble our eyes have been turned to you, we sent up a prayer when your punishment was on us.

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:26:19 @Your dead will come back; their dead bodies will come to life again. Those in the dust, awaking from their sleep, will send out a song; for your dew is a dew of light, and the earth will give birth to the shades.

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:27:11 @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:27:13 @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:28:3 @The crown of pride of those who are given up to wine in Ephraim will be crushed under foot;

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:28:14 @Give ear then to the word of the Lord, you men of pride, the rulers of this people in Jerusalem:

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:28:17 @And I will make right decision the measuring-line, and righteousness the weight: and the ice-storm will take away the safe place of false words, and the secret place will be covered by the flowing waters.

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:29:9 @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:29:11 @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:29:14 @For this cause I will again do a strange thing among this people, a thing to be wondered at: and the wisdom of their wise men will come to nothing, and the sense of their guides will no longer be seen.

bbe@Isaiah:29:15 @Cursed are those who go deep to keep their designs secret from the Lord, and whose works are in the dark, and who say, Who sees us? and who has knowledge of our acts?

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: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:30:7 @For there is no use or purpose in the help of Egypt: so I have said about her, She is Rahab, who has come to an end.

bbe@Isaiah:30:10 @Who say to the seers, See not; and to the prophets, Do not give us word of what is true, but say false things to give us pleasure:

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:30:17 @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:30:24 @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:30:29 @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:30:32 @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: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:31:2 @Though he is wise, and able to send evil, and his purpose will not be changed; but he will go against the house of the evil-doers, and against those to whom they are looking for help.

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:31:8 @Then the Assyrian will come down by the sword, but not of man; the sword, not of men, will be the cause of his destruction: and he will go in flight from the sword, and his young men will be put to forced work.

bbe@Isaiah:31:9 @And his rock will come to nothing because of fear, and his chiefs will go in flight from the flag, says the Lord, whose fire is in Zion, and his altar in Jerusalem.

bbe@Isaiah:32:1 @See, a king will be ruling in righteousness, and chiefs will give right decisions.

bbe@Isaiah:32:13 @And for the land of my people, where thorns will come up; even for all the houses of joy in the glad town.

bbe@Isaiah:32:14 @For the fair houses will have no man living in them; the town which was full of noise will become a waste; the hill and the watchtower will be unpeopled for ever, a joy for the asses of the woods, a place of food for the flocks;

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:32:17 @And the work of righteousness will be peace; and the effect of an upright rule will be to take away fear for ever.

bbe@Isaiah:32:18 @And my people will be living in peace, in houses where there is no fear, and in quiet resting-places.

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:33:4 @And the goods taken in war will be got together like the massing of young locusts; men will be rushing on them like the rushing of locusts.

bbe@Isaiah:33:5 @The Lord is lifted up; his place is on high: he has made Zion full of righteousness and true religion.

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:33:18 @Your heart will give thought to the cause of your fear: where is the scribe, where is he who made a record of the payments, where is he by whom the towers were numbered?

bbe@Isaiah:33:20 @Let your eyes be resting on Zion, the town of our holy feasts: you will see Jerusalem, a quiet resting-place, a tent which will not be moved, whose tent-pins will never be pulled up, and whose cords will never be broken.

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: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:34:13 @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: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:36:3 @And there came out to him Eliakim, the son of Hilkiah, who was over the house, and Shebna the scribe, and Joah, the son of Asaph, the recorder.

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:36:11 @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:36:15 @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:36:18 @Give no attention to Hezekiah when he says to you, The Lord will keep us safe. Has any one of the gods of the nations kept his land from falling into the hands of the king of Assyria?

bbe@Isaiah:36:20 @Who among all the gods of these countries have kept their country from falling into my hand, to give cause for the thought that the Lord will keep Jerusalem from falling into my hand?

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:37:2 @And he sent Eliakim, who was over the house, and Shebna the scribe, and the chief priests, dressed in haircloth, to Isaiah the prophet, the son of Amoz.

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:37:17 @Let your ear be turned to us, O Lord; let your eyes be open, O Lord, and see: take note of all the words of Sennacherib who has sent men to say evil against the living God.

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:37:22 @This is the word which the Lord has said about him: In the eyes of the virgin daughter of Zion you are shamed and laughed at; the daughter of Jerusalem has made sport of you.

bbe@Isaiah:37:27 @This is why their townsmen had no power, they were broken and put to shame; they were like the grass of the field, or a green plant; like the grass on the house-tops, which a cold wind makes waste.

bbe@Isaiah:37:29 @Because your wrath against me and your pride have come to my ears, I will put my hook in your nose and my cord in your lips, and I will make you go back by the way you came.

bbe@Isaiah:37:32 @For from Jerusalem those who have been kept safe will go out, and those who are still living will go out of Mount Zion: by the fixed purpose of the Lord of armies this will be done.

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:37:36 @And the angel of the Lord went out and put to death in the army of the Assyrians a hundred and eighty-five thousand men: and when the people got up early in the morning, there was nothing to be seen but dead bodies.

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:38:1 @In those days Hezekiah was ill and near death. And Isaiah the prophet, the son of Amoz, came to him, and said to him, The Lord says, Put your house in order; for your death is near.

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:38:16 @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:38:20 @O Lord, quickly be my saviour; so we will make my songs to corded instruments all the days of our lives in the house of the Lord.

bbe@Isaiah:38:22 @And Hezekiah said, What is the sign that I will go up to the house of the Lord?

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:39:2 @And Hezekiah was glad at their coming, and let them see all his store of wealth, the silver and the gold and the spices and the oil, and all the house of his arms, and everything there was in his stores: there was nothing in all his house or his kingdom which he did not let them see.

bbe@Isaiah:39:4 @And he said, What have they seen in your house? And Hezekiah said in answer, They saw everything in my house: there is nothing among my stores which I did not let them see.

bbe@Isaiah:39:6 @Truly, the days are coming when everything in your house, and whatever your fathers have put in store till this day, will be taken away to Babylon: all will be gone.

bbe@Isaiah:39:7 @And your sons, even your offspring, will they take away to be unsexed servants in the house of the king of Babylon.

bbe@Isaiah:40:2 @Say kind words to the heart of Jerusalem, crying out to her that her time of trouble is ended, that her punishment is complete; that she has been rewarded by the Lord's hand twice over for all her sins.

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:40:15 @See, the nations are to him like a drop hanging from a bucket, and like the small dust in the scales: he takes up the islands like small dust.

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:40:26 @Let your eyes be lifted up on high, and see: who has made these? He who sends out their numbered army: who has knowledge of all their names: by whose great strength, because he is strong in power, all of them are in their places.

bbe@Isaiah:40:27 @Why do you say, O Jacob, such words as these, O Israel, The Lord's eyes are not on my way, and my God gives no attention to my cause?

bbe@Isaiah:41:1 @Come quietly before me, O sea-lands, and let the peoples get together their strength: let them come near; then let them say what they have to say: let us put forward our cause against one another.

bbe@Isaiah:41:2 @Who sent out from the east one who is right wherever he goes? he gives the nations into his hands, and makes him ruler over kings; he gives them as the dust to his sword, as dry stems before the wind to his bow.

bbe@Isaiah:41:14 @Have no fear, you worm Jacob, and you men of Israel; I will be your helper, says the Lord, even he who takes up your cause, the Holy One of Israel.

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:41:17 @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:41:21 @Put forward your cause, says the Lord; let your strong argument come out, says the King of Jacob.

bbe@Isaiah:41:22 @Let the future be made clear to us: give us news of the past things, so that we may give thought to them; or of the things to come, so that we may see if they are true.

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:41:25 @I have sent for one from the north, and from the dawn he has come; in my name he will get rulers together and go against them; they will be like dust, even as the wet earth is stamped on by the feet of the potter.

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:41:29 @Truly they are all nothing, their works are nothing and of no value: their metal images are of no more use than wind.

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:42:21 @It was the Lord's pleasure, because of his righteousness, to make the teaching great and give it honour.

bbe@Isaiah:43:1 @But now, says the Lord your Maker, O Jacob, and your life-giver, O Israel: have no fear, for I have taken up your cause; naming you by your name, I have made you mine.

bbe@Isaiah:43:4 @Because of your value in my eyes, you have been honoured, and loved by me; so I will give men for you, and peoples for your life.

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:43:14 @The Lord, who has taken up your cause, the Holy One of Israel, says, Because of you I have sent to Babylon, and made all their seers come south, and the Chaldaeans whose cry is in the ships.

bbe@Isaiah:43:20 @The beasts of the field will give me honour, the jackals and the ostriches: because I send out waters in the waste land, and rivers in the dry country, to give drink to the people whom I have taken for myself:

bbe@Isaiah:43:26 @Put me in mind of this; let us take up the cause between us: put forward your cause, so that you may be seen to be in the right.

bbe@Isaiah:44:6 @The Lord, the King of Israel, even the Lord of armies who has taken up his cause, says, I am the first and the last, and there is no God but me.

bbe@Isaiah:44:11 @Truly, all those who make use of secret arts will be put to shame, and their words of power are only words of men: let them all come forward together; they will all be in fear and be put to shame.

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:44:15 @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:44:20 @As for him whose food is the dust of a dead fire, he has been turned from the way by a twisted mind, so that he is unable to keep himself safe by saying, What I have here in my hand is false.

bbe@Isaiah:44:22 @I have put your evil doings out of my mind like a thick cloud, and your sins like a mist: come back to me; for I have taken up your cause.

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:44:26 @Who makes the word of his servants certain, and gives effect to the purposes of his representatives; who says of Jerusalem, Her people will come back to her; and of the towns of Judah, I will give orders for their building, and will make her waste places fertile again:

bbe@Isaiah:44:28 @Who says of Cyrus, He will take care of my sheep, and will do all my pleasure: who says of Jerusalem, I will give the word for your building; and of the Temple, Your bases will be put in place.

bbe@Isaiah:45:1 @The Lord says to the man of his selection, to Cyrus, whom I have taken by the right hand, putting down nations before him, and taking away the arms of kings; making the doors open before him, so that the ways into the towns may not be shut;

bbe@Isaiah:45:4 @Because of Jacob my servant, and Israel whom I have taken for myself, I have sent for you by name, giving you a name of honour, though you had no knowledge of me.

bbe@Isaiah:45:7 @I am the giver of light and the maker of the dark; causing blessing, and sending troubles; I am the Lord, who does all these things.

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:45:19 @I have not given my word in secret, in a place in the underworld; I did not say to the seed of Jacob, Go into a waste land to make request of me: I the Lord say what is true, my word is righteousness.

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: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:47:1 @Come and take your seat in the dust, O virgin daughter of Babylon; come down from your seat of power, and take your place on the earth, O daughter of the Chaldaeans: for you will never again seem soft and delicate.

bbe@Isaiah:47:2 @Take the crushing-stones and get the meal crushed: take off your veil, put away your robe, let your legs be uncovered, go through the rivers.

bbe@Isaiah:47:4 @Says the Lord who takes up our cause; the Lord of armies is his name, the Holy One of Israel.

bbe@Isaiah:47:9 @But these two things will come on you suddenly in one day, the loss of children and of husband: in full measure they will come on you, for all your secret arts, and all your wonders.

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: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:48:4 @Because I saw that your heart was hard, and that your neck was an iron cord, and your brow brass;

bbe@Isaiah:48:8 @Truly you had no word of them, no knowledge of them; no news of them in the past had come to your ears; because I saw how false was your behaviour, and that your heart was turned against me from your earliest days.

bbe@Isaiah:48:9 @Because of my name I will put away my wrath, and for my praise I will keep myself from cutting you off.

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:48:17 @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:48:18 @If only you had given ear to my orders, then your peace would have been like a river, and your righteousness as the waves of the sea:

bbe@Isaiah:48:19 @Your seed would have been like the sand, and your offspring like the dust: your name would not be cut off or come to an end before me.

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:49:7 @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:49:13 @Let your voice be loud in song, O heavens; and be glad, O earth; make sounds of joy, O mountains, for the Lord has given comfort to his people, and will have mercy on his crushed ones.

bbe@Isaiah:49:23 @And kings will take care of you, and queens will give you their milk: they will go down on their faces before you, kissing the dust of your feet; and you will be certain that I am the Lord, and that those who put their hope in me will not be shamed.

bbe@Isaiah:49:25 @But the Lord says, Even the prisoners of the strong will be taken from him, and the cruel made to let go his goods: for I will take up your cause against your haters, and I will keep your children safe.

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:50:2 @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:50:8 @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:51:1 @Give ear to me, you who are searching for righteousness, who are looking for the Lord: see the rock from which you were cut out, and the hole out of which you were taken.

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:51:7 @Give ear to me, you who have knowledge of righteousness, in whose heart is my law; have no fear of the evil words of men, and give no thought to their curses.

bbe@Isaiah:51:8 @For like a coat they will be food for the insect, the worm will make a meal of them like wool: but my righteousness will be for ever, and my salvation to all generations.

bbe@Isaiah:51:17 @Awake! awake! up! O Jerusalem, you who have taken from the Lord's hand the cup of his wrath; tasting in full measure the wine which overcomes.

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: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:52:2 @Make yourself clean from the dust; up! and take the seat of your power, O Jerusalem: the bands of your neck are loose, O prisoned daughter of Zion.

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:52:9 @Give sounds of joy, make melody together, waste places of Jerusalem: for the Lord has given comfort to his people, he has taken up the cause of Jerusalem.

bbe@Isaiah:52:15 @So will nations give him honour; kings will keep quiet because of him: for what had not been made clear to them they will see; and they will give their minds to what had not come to their ears.

bbe@Isaiah:53:2 @For his growth was like that of a delicate plant before him, and like a root out of a dry place: he had no grace of form, to give us pleasure;

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:53:6 @We all went wandering like sheep; going every one of us after his desire; and the Lord put on him the punishment of us all.

bbe@Isaiah:53:11 @... made clear his righteousness before men... had taken their sins on himself.

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:54:5 @For your Maker is your husband; the Lord of armies is his name: and the Holy One of Israel is he who takes up your cause; he will be named the God of all the earth.

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:54:11 @O troubled one, storm-crushed, uncomforted! see, your stones will be framed in fair colours, and your bases will be sapphires.

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:55:5 @See, you will send for a nation of which you had no knowledge, and those who had no knowledge of you will come running to you, because of the Lord your God, and because of the Holy One of Israel, for he has given you glory.

bbe@Isaiah:56:1 @The Lord says, Let your way of life be upright, and let your behaviour be rightly ordered: for my salvation is near, and my righteousness will quickly be seen.

bbe@Isaiah:56:5 @I will give to them in my house, and inside my walls, a place and a name better than that of sons and daughters; I will give them an eternal name which will not be cut off.

bbe@Isaiah:56:7 @I will make them come to my holy mountain, and will give them joy in my house of prayer; I will take pleasure in the burned offerings which they make on my altar: for my house will be named a house of prayer for all peoples.

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:57:3 @But come near, you sons of her who is wise in secret arts, the seed of her who is false to her husband, and of the loose woman.

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:57:15 @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: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:58:5 @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:58:6 @Is not this the holy day for which I have given orders: to let loose those who have wrongly been made prisoners, to undo the bands of the yoke, and to let the crushed go free, and every yoke be broken?

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:58:8 @Then will light be shining on you like the morning, and your wounds will quickly be well: and your righteousness will go before you, and the glory of the Lord will come after you.

bbe@Isaiah:58:12 @And your sons will be building again the old waste places: you will make strong the bases of old generations: and you will be named, He who puts up the broken walls, and, He who makes ready the ways for use.

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: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:59:5 @They give birth to snake's eggs, and make spider's threads: whoever takes their eggs for food comes to his death, and the egg which is crushed becomes a poison-snake.

bbe@Isaiah:59:9 @For this cause our right is far from us, and righteousness does not overtake us: we are looking for light, but there is only the dark; for the shining of the sun, but our way is in the night.

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:59:14 @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:59:16 @And he saw that there was no man, and was surprised that there was no one to take up their cause: so his arm gave salvation, and he made righteousness his support.

bbe@Isaiah:59:17 @Yes, he put on righteousness as a breastplate, and salvation as a head-dress; and he put on punishment as clothing, and wrath as a robe.

bbe@Isaiah:59:19 @So they will see the name of the Lord from the west, and his glory from the east: for he will come like a rushing stream, forced on by a wind of the Lord.

bbe@Isaiah:60:7 @All the flocks of Kedar will come together to you, the sheep of Nebaioth will be ready for your need; they will be pleasing offerings on my altar, and my house of prayer will be beautiful.

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:60:16 @And you will take the milk of the nations, flowing from the breast of kings; and you will see that I, the Lord, am your saviour, and he who takes up your cause, the Strong One of Jacob.

bbe@Isaiah:60:17 @In place of brass, I will give gold, and for iron silver, and for wood brass, and for stones iron: and I will make Peace your judge, and Righteousness your overseer.

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:61:3 @To give them a fair head-dress in place of dust, the oil of joy in place of the clothing of grief, praise in place of sorrow; so that they may be named trees of righteousness, the planting of the Lord, and so that he may have glory.

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:62:1 @Because of Zion I will not keep quiet, and because of Jerusalem I will take no rest, till her righteousness goes out like the shining of the sun, and her salvation like a burning light.

bbe@Isaiah:62:2 @And the nations will see your righteousness, and all kings your glory: and you will have a new name, given by the mouth of the Lord.

bbe@Isaiah:62:5 @For as a young man takes a virgin for his wife, so will your maker be married to you: and as a husband has joy in his bride, so will the Lord your God be glad over you.

bbe@Isaiah:62:6 @I have put watchmen on your walls, O Jerusalem; they will not keep quiet day or night: you who are the Lord's recorders, take no rest,

bbe@Isaiah:62:7 @And give him no rest, till he puts Jerusalem in her place to be praised in the earth.

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:62:12 @And they will be named, The holy people, Those whose cause has been taken up by the Lord: and you will be named, Desired, A town not given up.

bbe@Isaiah:63:2 @Why is your clothing red, and why are your robes like those of one who is crushing the grapes?

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:63:6 @And in my passion the peoples were crushed under my feet, and broken in my wrath, and I put down their strength to the earth.

bbe@Isaiah:63:7 @I will give news of the mercies of the Lord, and his great acts, even all the things the Lord has done for us, in his great grace to the house of Israel; even all he has done for us in his unnumbered mercies.

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:63:15 @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:63:16 @For you are our father, though Abraham has no knowledge of us, and Israel gives no thought to us: you, O Lord, are our father; from the earliest days you have taken up our cause.

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:64:2 @As when fire puts the brushwood in flames, or as when water is boiling from the heat of the fire: to make your name feared by your haters, so that the nations may be shaking before you;

bbe@Isaiah:64:5 @Will you not have mercy on him who takes pleasure in doing righteousness, even on those who keep in mind your ways? Truly you were angry, and we went on doing evil, and sinning against you in the past.

bbe@Isaiah:64:6 @For we have all become like an unclean person, and all our good acts are like a dirty robe: and we have all become old like a dead leaf, and our sins, like the wind, take us away.

bbe@Isaiah:64:7 @And there is no one who makes prayer to your name, or who is moved to keep true to you: for your face is veiled from us, and you have given us into the power of our sins.

bbe@Isaiah:64:10 @Your holy towns have become a waste, Zion has become a waste, Jerusalem is a mass of broken walls.

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:65:4 @Who are seated in the resting-places of the dead, and by night are in the secret places; who take pig's flesh for food, and have the liquid of disgusting things in their vessels.

bbe@Isaiah:65:12 @Your fate will be the sword, and you will all go down to death: because when my voice came to you, you made no answer; you did not give ear to my word; but you did what was evil in my eyes, desiring what was not pleasing to me.

bbe@Isaiah:65:13 @For this cause says the Lord God, My servants will have food, but you will be in need of food: my servants will have drink, but you will be dry: my servants will have joy, but you will be shamed:

bbe@Isaiah:65:16 @So that he who is requesting a blessing will make use of the name of the true God, and he who takes an oath will do so by the true God; because the past troubles are gone out of mind, and because they are covered from my eyes.

bbe@Isaiah:65:18 @But men will be glad and have joy for ever in what I am making; for I am making Jerusalem a delight, and her people a joy.

bbe@Isaiah:65:19 @And I will be glad over Jerusalem, and have joy in my people: and the voice of weeping will no longer be sounding in her, or the voice of grief.

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:65:25 @The wolf and the lamb will take their food together, and the lion will make a meal of grass like the ox: but dust will be the snake's food. There will be no cause of pain or destruction in all my holy mountain, says the Lord.

bbe@Isaiah:66:1 @The Lord says, Heaven is the seat of my power, and earth is the resting-place for my feet: what sort of house will you make for me, and what place will be my resting-place?

bbe@Isaiah:66:3 @He who puts an ox to death puts a man to death; he who makes an offering of a lamb puts a dog to death; he who makes a meal offering makes an offering of pig's blood; he who makes an offering of perfumes for a sign gives worship to an image: as they have gone after their desires, and their soul takes pleasure in their disgusting things;

bbe@Isaiah:66:4 @So I will go after trouble for them, and will send on them what they are fearing: because no one made answer to my voice, or gave ear to my word; but they did what was evil in my eyes, going after that in which I took no pleasure.

bbe@Isaiah:66:5 @Give ear to the word of the Lord, you who are in fear at his word: your countrymen, hating you, and driving you out because of my name, have said, Let the Lord's glory be made clear, so that we may see your joy; but they will be put to shame.

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:66:13 @As to one who is comforted by his mother, so will I give you comfort: and you will be comforted in Jerusalem.

bbe@Isaiah:66:17 @As for those who keep themselves separate, and make themselves clean in the gardens, going after one in the middle, taking pig's flesh for food, and other disgusting things, such as the mouse: their works and their thoughts will come to an end together, says the Lord.

bbe@Isaiah:66:20 @And they will take your countrymen out of all the nations for an offering to the Lord, on horses, and in carriages, and in carts, and on asses, and on camels, to my holy mountain Jerusalem, says the Lord, as the children of Israel take their offering in a clean vessel into the house of 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:1:15 @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:1:16 @And I will give my decision against them on account of all their evil-doing; because they have given me up, burning perfumes to other gods and worshipping the works of their hands.

bbe@Jeremiah:2:2 @Go and say in the ears of Jerusalem, The Lord says, I still keep the memory of your kind heart when you were young, and your love when you became my bride; how you went after me in the waste of sand, in an unplanted land.

bbe@Jeremiah:2:6 @And they never said, Where is the Lord, who took us up out of the land of Egypt; who was our guide through the waste of sand, through an unplanted land full of deep holes, through a dry land of deep shade, which no one went through and where no man was living?

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:2:9 @For this reason, I will again put forward my cause against you, says the Lord, even against you and against your children's children.

bbe@Jeremiah:2:13 @For my people have done two evils; they have given up me, the fountain of living waters, and have made for themselves water-holes, cut out from the rock, broken water-holes, of no use for storing water.

bbe@Jeremiah:2:14 @Is Israel a servant? has he been a house-servant from birth? why has he been made waste?

bbe@Jeremiah:2:17 @Has not this come on you because you have given up the Lord your God, who was your guide by the way?

bbe@Jeremiah:2:24 @An untrained ass, used to the waste land, breathing up the wind in her desire; at her time, who is able to send her away? all those who are looking for her will have no need to make themselves tired; in her month they will get her.

bbe@Jeremiah:2:29 @Why will you put forward your cause against me? You have all done evil against me, says the Lord.

bbe@Jeremiah:2:35 @And still you said, I have done no wrong; truly, his wrath is turned away from me. See, I will take up the cause against you, because you say, I have done no wrong.

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:3:13 @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:3:14 @Come back, O children who are turned away, says the Lord; for I am a husband to you, and I will take you, one from a town and two from a family, and will make you come to Zion;

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:3:20 @Truly, as a wife is false to her husband, so have you been false to me, O Israel, says the Lord.

bbe@Jeremiah:3:21 @A voice is sounding on the open hilltops, the weeping and the prayers of the children of Israel; because their way is twisted, they have not kept the Lord their God in mind.

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:4:1 @If you will come back, O Israel, says the Lord, you will come back to me: and if you will put away your disgusting ways, you will not be sent away from before me.

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:4:3 @For this is what the Lord says to the men of Judah and to Jerusalem: Get your unworked land ploughed up, do not put in your seeds among thorns.

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:4:8 @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:4:10 @Then said I, Ah, Lord God! your words were not true when you said to this people and to Jerusalem, You will have peace; when the sword has come even to the soul

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:4:13 @See, he will come up like the clouds, and his war-carriages like the storm-wind: his horses are quicker than eagles. Sorrow is ours, for destruction has come on us.

bbe@Jeremiah:4:14 @O Jerusalem, make your heart clean from evil, so that you may have salvation. How long are evil purposes to have a resting-place in you?

bbe@Jeremiah:4:16 @Make this come to the minds of the nations, make a statement openly against Jerusalem, that attackers are coming from a far country and their voices will be loud against the towns of Judah.

bbe@Jeremiah:4:17 @Like keepers of a field they are against her on every side; because she has been fighting against me, says the Lord.

bbe@Jeremiah:4:19 @My soul, my soul! I am pained to my inmost heart; my heart is troubled in me; I am not able to be quiet, because the sound of the horn, the note of war, has come to my ears.

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:4:29 @All the land is in flight because of the noise of the horsemen and the bowmen; they have taken cover in the woodland and up on the rocks: every town has been given up, not a man is living in them.

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:5:6 @And so a lion from the woods will put them to death, a wolf of the waste land will make them waste, a leopard will keep watch on their towns, and everyone who goes out from them will be food for the beasts; because of the great number of their sins and the increase of their wrongdoing.

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:5:14 @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:5:19 @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:5:24 @And they do not say in their hearts, Now let us give worship to our God, who gives the rain, the winter and the spring rain, at the right time; who keeps for us the ordered weeks of the grain-cutting.

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:6:1 @Go in flight out of Jerusalem, so that you may be safe, you children of Benjamin, and let the horn be sounded in Tekoa, and the flag be lifted up on Beth-haccherem: for evil is looking out from the north, and a great destruction.

bbe@Jeremiah:6:4 @Make war ready against her; up! let us go up when the sun is high. Sorrow is ours! for the day is turned and the shades of evening are stretched out.

bbe@Jeremiah:6:5 @Up! let us go up by night, and send destruction on her great houses.

bbe@Jeremiah:6:6 @For this is what the Lord of armies has said: Let trees be cut down and an earthwork be placed against Jerusalem: sorrow on the false town! inside her there is nothing but cruel ways.

bbe@Jeremiah:6:8 @Undergo teaching, O Jerusalem, or my soul will be turned away from you, and I will make you a waste, an unpeopled land.

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:6:12 @And their houses will be handed over to others, their fields and their wives together: for my hand will be stretched out against the people of the land, says the Lord.

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:6:19 @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:6:30 @They will be named waste silver, because the Lord has given them up.

bbe@Jeremiah:7:2 @Take your place in the doorway of the Lord's house, and give out this word there, and say, Give ear to the word of the Lord, all you of Judah who come inside these doors to give worship to the Lord.

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:7:10 @And come and take your place before me in this house, which is named by my name, and say, We have been made safe; so that you may do all these disgusting things?

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:7:13 @And now, because you have done all these works, says the Lord, and I sent my word to you, getting up early and sending, but you did not give ear; and my voice came to you, but you gave no answer:

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:7:17 @Do you not see what they are doing in the towns of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem?

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:7:34 @And in the towns of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem, I will put an end to the laughing voices, the voice of joy and the voice of the newly-married man and the voice of the bride: for the land will become a waste.

bbe@Jeremiah:8:1 @At that time, says the Lord, they will take the bones of the kings of Judah, and the bones of his rulers, and the bones of the priests, and the bones of the prophets, and the bones of the people of Jerusalem out of their resting-places:

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:8:6 @I took note and gave ear, but no one said what is right: no man had regret for his evil-doing, saying, What have I done? everyone goes off on his way like a horse rushing to the fight.

bbe@Jeremiah:8:7 @Truly, the stork in the heavens is conscious of her fixed times; the dove and the swallow and the crane keep to the times of their coming; but my people have no knowledge of the law of the Lord.

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:8:12 @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:8:20 @The grain-cutting is past, the summer is ended, and no salvation has come to us.

bbe@Jeremiah:9:7 @So the Lord of armies has said, See, I will make them soft in the fire and put them to the test; this I will do because of their evil-doing.

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:9:10 @Give yourselves to weeping, crying out in sorrow for the mountains; and for the fields of the waste land send up a song of grief, because they are burned up, so that no one goes through; there is no sound of cattle; the bird of the heavens and the beast are in flight and are gone.

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:9:13 @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:9:18 @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:10:13 @At the sound of his voice there is a massing of waters in the heavens, and he makes the mists go up from the ends of the earth; he makes the thunder-flames for the rain, and sends out the wind from his store-houses.

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:10:23 @O Lord, I am conscious that a man's way is not in himself: man has no power of guiding his steps.

bbe@Jeremiah:11:2 @Give ear to the words of this agreement, and say to the men of Judah and to the people of Jerusalem,

bbe@Jeremiah:11:6 @And the Lord said to me, Give out these words in the towns of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem, saying, Give ear to the words of this agreement and do them.

bbe@Jeremiah:11:9 @And the Lord said to me, There is an evil design at work among the men of Judah and the people of Jerusalem.

bbe@Jeremiah:11:12 @Then the towns of Judah and the people of Jerusalem will go crying for help to the gods to whom they have been burning perfumes: but they will give them no salvation in the time of their trouble.

bbe@Jeremiah:11:13 @For the number of your gods is as the number of your towns, O Judah; and for every street in Jerusalem you have put up altars to the Baal for burning perfumes to the Baal.

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:11:17 @For the Lord of armies, by whom you were planted, has given his decision for evil against you, because of the evil which the people of Israel and the people of Judah have done, In moving me to wrath by offering perfumes to the Baal.

bbe@Jeremiah:11:19 @But I was like a gentle lamb taken to be put to death; I had no thought that they were designing evil against me, saying, Come and let us make trouble his food, cutting him off from the land of the living, so that there may be no more memory of his name.

bbe@Jeremiah:11:20 @But, O Lord of armies, judging in righteousness, testing the thoughts and the heart, let me see your punishment come on them: for I have put my cause before you.

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:12:4 @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:12:7 @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:12:10 @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:12:16 @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:13:7 @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:13:9 @The Lord has said, In this way I will do damage to the pride of Judah and to the great pride of Jerusalem.

bbe@Jeremiah:13:10 @These evil people who say they will not give ear to my words, who go on in the pride of their hearts and have become servants and worshippers of other gods, will become like this band which is of no use for anything.

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:13:17 @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:13:20 @Let your eyes be lifted up (O Jerusalem), and see those who are coming from the north. Where is the flock which was given to you, your beautiful flock?

bbe@Jeremiah:13:22 @And if you say in your heart, Why have these things come on me? because of the number of your sins, your skirts have been uncovered and violent punishment overtakes you.

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:13:27 @I have seen your disgusting acts, even your false behaviour and your cries of desire and your loose ways on the hills in the field. Unhappy are you, O Jerusalem, you have no desire to be made clean; how long will you be in turning back to me?

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:14:5 @And the roe, giving birth in the field, lets her young one be uncared for, because there is no grass.

bbe@Jeremiah:14:6 @And the asses of the field on the open hilltops are opening their mouths wide like jackals to get air; their eyes are hollow because there is no grass.

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:14:9 @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:14:15 @So this is what the Lord has said about the prophets who make use of my name, though I sent them not, and say, The sword and need of food will not be in this land: the sword and need of food will put an end to those prophets.

bbe@Jeremiah:14:16 @And the people to whom they are prophets will be pushed out dead into the streets of Jerusalem, because there is no food, and because of the sword; and they will have no one to put their bodies into the earth, them or their wives or their sons or their daughters: for I will let loose their evil-doing on them.

bbe@Jeremiah:14:19 @Have you completely given up Judah? is your soul turned in disgust from Zion? why have you given us blows from which there is no one to make us well? we were looking for peace, but no good came; and for a time of well-being, but there was only a great fear.

bbe@Jeremiah:14:20 @We are conscious, O Lord, of our sin and of the wrongdoing of our fathers: we have done evil against you.

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:15:3 @And I will put over them four divisions, says the Lord: the sword causing death, dogs pulling the dead bodies about, and the birds of heaven, and the beasts of the earth to take their bodies for food and put an end to them.

bbe@Jeremiah:15:4 @And I will make them a cause of fear to all the kingdoms of the earth, because of Manasseh, the son of Hezekiah, king of Judah, and what he did in Jerusalem.

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:15:8 @I have let their widows be increased in number more than the sand of the seas: I have sent against them, against the mother and the young men, one who makes waste in the heat of the day, causing pain and fears to come on her suddenly.

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:15:13 @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:15:15 @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:15:17 @I did not take my seat among the band of those who are glad, and I had no joy; I kept by myself because of your hand; for you have made me full of wrath.

bbe@Jeremiah:15:19 @For this cause the Lord has said, If you will come back, then I will again let you take your place before me; and if you give out what is of value and not that which has no value, you will be as my mouth: let them come back to you, but do not go back to them

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:16:11 @Then you will say to them, Because your fathers have given me up, says the Lord, and have gone after other gods and become their servants and their worshippers, and have given me up and have not kept my law;

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: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:17:6 @For he will be like the brushwood in the upland, and will not see when good comes; but his living-place will be in the dry places in the waste land, in a salt and unpeopled land.

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:17:13 @O Lord, the hope of Israel, all who give you up will be put to shame; those who go away from you will be cut off from the earth, because they have given up the Lord, the fountain of living waters.

bbe@Jeremiah:17:17 @Be not a cause of fear to me: you are my safe place in the day of evil.

bbe@Jeremiah:17:19 @This is what the Lord has said to me: Go and take your place in the doorway of Benjamin, where the kings of Judah come in and by which they go out, and in all the doorways of Jerusalem;

bbe@Jeremiah:17:20 @And say to them, Give ear to the word of the Lord, you kings of Judah, and all the people of Jerusalem who come in by these doors:

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:17:22 @And take no weight out of your houses on the Sabbath day, or do any work, but keep the Sabbath day holy, as I gave orders to your fathers;

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:18:2 @Up! go down to the potter's house, and there I will let my words come to your ears.

bbe@Jeremiah:18:3 @Then I went down to the potter's house, and he was doing his work on the stones.

bbe@Jeremiah:18:11 @Now, then, say to the men of Judah and to the people of Jerusalem, This is what the Lord has said: See, I am forming an evil thing against you, and designing a design against you: let every man come back now from his evil way, and let your ways and your doings be changed for the better.

bbe@Jeremiah:18:12 @But they will say, There is no hope: we will go on in our designs, and every one of us will do what he is moved by the pride of his evil heart to do.

bbe@Jeremiah:18:15 @For my people have put me out of their memory, burning perfumes to that which is nothing; and because of this, I will put a cause of falling in their ways, even in the old roads, and will make them go on side-roads, in a way not lifted up;

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:18:19 @Give thought to me, O Lord, and give ear to the voice of those who put forward a cause against me.

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:18:22 @Let a cry for help go up from their houses, when you send an armed band on them suddenly: for they have made a hole in which to take me, and have put nets for my feet secretly.

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:19:3 @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:19:6 @For this cause, see, a time is coming, says the Lord, when this place will no longer be named Topheth, or, The valley of the son of Hinnom, but, The valley of Death.

bbe@Jeremiah:19:7 @I will make the purpose of Judah and Jerusalem come to nothing in this place; I will have them put to the sword by their haters, and by the hands of those who have designs on their life; and their dead bodies I will give to be food for the birds of heaven and the beasts of the earth.

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:19:13 @And the houses of Jerusalem, and the houses of the kings of Judah, which they have made unclean, will be like the place of Topheth, even all the houses on whose roofs perfumes have been burned to all the army of heaven, and drink offerings drained out to other gods.

bbe@Jeremiah:19:14 @Then Jeremiah came from Topheth, where the Lord had sent him to give the prophet's word; and he took his place in the open square of the Lord's house, and said to all the people,

bbe@Jeremiah:19:15 @The Lord of armies, the God of Israel, has said: See, I will send on this town and on all her towns all the evil which I have said; because they made their necks stiff, so that they might not give ear to my words.

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:20:2 @And Pashhur gave blows to Jeremiah and had his feet chained in a framework of wood in the higher doorway of Benjamin, which was in the house of the Lord.

bbe@Jeremiah:20:3 @Then on the day after, Pashhur let Jeremiah loose. Then Jeremiah said to him, The Lord has given you the name of Magor-missabib (Cause-of-fear-on-every-side), not Pashhur.

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:20:6 @And you, Pashhur, and all who are in your house, will go away prisoners: you will come to Babylon, and there your body will be put to rest, you and all your friends, to whom you said false words.

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:20:10 @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:20:12 @But, O Lord of armies, testing the upright and seeing the thoughts and the heart, let me see your punishment come on them; for I have put my cause before you

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: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:21:6 @And I will send a great disease on the people living in this town, on man and on beast, causing their death.

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:21:13 @See, I am against you, you who are living on the rock of the valley, says the Lord; you who say, Who will come down against us? or who will get into our houses?

bbe@Jeremiah:22:1 @This is what the Lord has said: Go down to the house of the king of Judah and there give him this word,

bbe@Jeremiah:22:4 @For if you truly do this, then there will come in through the doors of this house kings seated on the seat of David, going in carriages and on horseback, he and his servants and his people

bbe@Jeremiah:22:5 @But if you do not give ear to these words, I give you my oath by myself, says the Lord, that this house will become a waste.

bbe@Jeremiah:22:9 @And they will say, Because they gave up the agreement of the Lord their God, and became worshippers and servants of other gods.

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:22:19 @They will do to him what they do to the dead body of an ass; his body will be pulled out and placed on the earth outside the doors of Jerusalem.

bbe@Jeremiah:22:22 @All the keepers of your sheep will be food for the wind, and your lovers will be taken away prisoners: truly, then you will be shamed and unhonoured because of all your evil-doing.

bbe@Jeremiah:23:1 @A curse is on the keepers who are causing the destruction and loss of the sheep of my field, 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:23:9 @About the prophets. My heart is broken in me, all my bones are shaking; I am like a man full of strong drink, like a man overcome by wine; because of the Lord, and because of his holy words.

bbe@Jeremiah:23:10 @For the land is full of men who are untrue to their wives; because of the curse the land is full of grief; the green fields of the waste land have become dry; and they are quick to do evil, their strength is for what is not right.

bbe@Jeremiah:23:11 @For the prophet as well as the priest is unclean; even in my house I have seen their evil-doing, says the Lord.

bbe@Jeremiah:23:12 @For this cause their steps will be slipping on their way: they will be forced on into the dark and have a fall there: for I will send evil on them in the year of their punishment, says the Lord.

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:23:30 @For this cause I am against the prophets, says the Lord, who take my words, every one from his neighbour.

bbe@Jeremiah:23:34 @And as for the prophet and the priest and the people who say, A word of weight from the Lord! I will send punishment on that man and on his house.

bbe@Jeremiah:23:38 @But if you say, The word of weight of the Lord; this is what the Lord has said: Because you say, The weight of the Lord, and I have sent to you, saying, You are not to say, The weight of the Lord;

bbe@Jeremiah:24:1 @The Lord gave me a vision, and I saw two baskets full of figs put in front of the Temple of the Lord, after Nebuchadrezzar, king of Babylon, had taken prisoner Jeconiah, the son of Jehoiakim, king of Judah, and the chiefs of Judah, and the expert workmen and metal-workers from Jerusalem, and had taken them to Babylon.

bbe@Jeremiah:24:2 @One basket had very good figs, like the figs which first come to growth: and the other basket had very bad figs, so bad that they were of no use for food.

bbe@Jeremiah:24:3 @Then the Lord said to me, What do you see, Jeremiah? And I said, Figs; the good figs are very good, and the bad very bad, and of no use for food, they are so bad.

bbe@Jeremiah:24:8 @And like the bad figs which are so bad that they are of no use for food, so I will give up Zedekiah, king of Judah, and his chiefs and the rest of Jerusalem who are still in this land, and those who are in the land of Egypt:

bbe@Jeremiah:24:9 @I will give them up to be a cause of fear and of trouble among all the kingdoms of the earth; to be a name of shame and common talk and a cutting word and a curse in all the places wherever I will send them wandering.

bbe@Jeremiah:25:2 @This word Jeremiah gave out to all the people of Judah and to those living in Jerusalem, saying,

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:25:8 @So this is what the Lord of armies has said: Because you have not given ear to my words,

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:25:10 @And more than this, I will take from them the sound of laughing voices, the voice of joy, the voice of the newly-married man, and the voice of the bride, the sound of the stones crushing the grain, and the shining of lights.

bbe@Jeremiah:25:11 @All this land will be a waste and a cause of wonder; and these nations will be the servants of the king of Babylon for seventy years.

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:25:18 @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:25:27 @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:25:30 @So, as a prophet, give out these words among them, and say to them, The voice of the Lord will be sounding like a lion from on high; he will send out his voice from his holy place, like the loud voice of a lion, against his flock; he will give a cry, like those who are crushing the grapes, against all the people of the earth.

bbe@Jeremiah:25:31 @A noise will come, even to the end of the earth; for the Lord has a cause against the nations, he will give his decision against all flesh; as for the evil-doers, he will give them to the sword, says the Lord.

bbe@Jeremiah:25:34 @Give cries of grief, you keepers of sheep; give cries for help, rolling yourselves in the dust, you chiefs of the flock: for the days of your destruction have fully come, and I will send you in all directions, and your fall will be like that of the males of the flock.

bbe@Jeremiah:25:37 @And there is no sound in the fields of peace, because of the burning wrath of the Lord.

bbe@Jeremiah:25:38 @The lion has come out of his secret place, for the land has become a waste because of the cruel sword, and because of the heat of his wrath.

bbe@Jeremiah:26:2 @This is what the Lord has said: Take your place in the open square of the Lord's house and say to all the towns of Judah, who come into the Lord's house for worship, everything I give you orders to say to them: keep back not a word;

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:26:6 @Then I will make this house like Shiloh, and will make this town a curse to all the nations of the earth.

bbe@Jeremiah:26:7 @And in the hearing of the priests and the prophets and all the people, Jeremiah said these words in the house of the Lord.

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:26:10 @And the rulers of Judah, hearing of these things, came up from the king's house to the house of the Lord, and took their seats by the new door of the Lord's house.

bbe@Jeremiah:26:12 @Then Jeremiah said to all the rulers and to all the people, The Lord has sent me as his prophet to say against this house and against this town all the words which have come to 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:27:3 @And send them to the king of Edom, and to the king of Moab, and to the king of the children of Ammon, and to the king of Tyre, and to the king of Zidon, by their servants who come to Jerusalem, to Zedekiah, king of Judah;

bbe@Jeremiah:27:6 @And now I have given all these lands into the hands of Nebuchadnezzar, the king of Babylon, my servant; and I have given the beasts of the field to him for his use.

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:27:9 @And you are not to give attention to your prophets or your readers of signs or your dreamers or those who see into the future or those who make use of secret arts, who say to you, You will not become servants of the king of Babylon:

bbe@Jeremiah:27:13 @Why are you desiring death, you and your people, by the sword, and because food is gone, and by disease, as the Lord has said of the nation which does not become the servant of the king of Babylon?

bbe@Jeremiah:27:15 @For I have not sent them, says the Lord, but they are saying what is false in my name, so that I might send you out by force, causing destruction to come on you and on your prophets.

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:27:21 @For this is what the Lord of armies, the God of Israel, has said about the rest of the vessels in the house of the Lord and in the house of the king of Judah and at 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:28:3 @In the space of two years I will send back into this place all the vessels of the Lord's house which Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon, took away from this place to Babylon:

bbe@Jeremiah:28:5 @Then the prophet Jeremiah said to the prophet Hananiah, before the priests and all the people who had come into the house of the Lord,

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:28:16 @For this reason the Lord has said, See, I will send you away from off the face of the earth: this year death will overtake you, because you have said words against the Lord.

bbe@Jeremiah:29:1 @Now these are the words of the letter which Jeremiah the prophet sent from Jerusalem to the responsible men among those who had been taken away, and to the priests and the prophets and to all the rest of the people whom Nebuchadnezzar had taken away prisoners from Jerusalem to Babylon;

bbe@Jeremiah:29:2 @(After Jeconiah the king and the queen-mother and the unsexed servants and the rulers of Judah and Jerusalem and the expert workmen and the metal-workers had gone away from Jerusalem;)

bbe@Jeremiah:29:4 @This is what the Lord of armies, the God of Israel, has said to all those whom I have taken away prisoners from Jerusalem to Babylon:

bbe@Jeremiah:29:5 @Go on building houses and living in them, and planting gardens and using the fruit of them;

bbe@Jeremiah:29:6 @Take wives and have sons and daughters, and take wives for your sons, and give your daughters to husbands, so that they may have sons and daughters; and be increased in number there and do not become less.

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:29:11 @For I am conscious of my thoughts about you, says the Lord, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you hope at the end.

bbe@Jeremiah:29:15 @For you have said, The Lord has given us prophets in Babylon.

bbe@Jeremiah:29:17 @This is what the Lord of armies has said: See, I will send on them the sword and need of food and disease, and will make them like bad figs, which are of no use for food, they are so bad

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:29:19 @Because they have not given ear to my words, says the Lord, when I sent to them my servants the prophets, getting up early and sending them; but you did not give ear, says the Lord.

bbe@Jeremiah:29:20 @And now, give ear to the word of the Lord, all you whom I have sent away prisoners from Jerusalem to Babylon.

bbe@Jeremiah:29:22 @And their fate will be used as a curse by all the prisoners of Judah who are in Babylon, who will say, May the Lord make you like Zedekiah and like Ahab, who were burned in the fire by the king of Babylon;

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:29:26 @The Lord has made you priest in place of Jehoiada the priest, to be an overseer in the house of the Lord for every man who is off his head and is acting as a prophet, to put such men in prison and in chains.

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:29:31 @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:29:32 @For this cause the Lord has said, Truly I will send punishment on Shemaiah and on his seed; not a man of his family will have a place among this people, and he will not see the good which I am going to do to my people, says the Lord: because he has said words against the Lord.

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:30:10 @So have no fear, O Jacob, my servant, says the Lord; and do not be troubled, O Israel: for see, I will make you come back from far away, and your seed from the land where they are prisoners; and Jacob will come back, and will be quiet and at peace, and no one will give him cause for fear.

bbe@Jeremiah:30:15 @Why are you crying for help because of your wound? for your pain may never be taken away: because your evil-doing was so great and because your sins were increased, I have done these things to you.

bbe@Jeremiah:30:16 @For this cause, all those who take you for their food will themselves become your food; and all your attackers, every one of them, will be taken prisoners; and those who send destruction on you will come to destruction; and all those who take away your goods by force will undergo the same themselves.

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:31:4 @I will again make new your buildings, O virgin of Israel, and you will take up your place: again you will take up your instruments of music, and go out in the dances of those who are glad.

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:31:6 @For there will be a day when those who get in the grapes on the hills of Ephraim will be crying, Up! let us go up to Zion to the Lord our God.

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:31:28 @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:31:35 @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:31:37 @This is what the Lord has said: If the heavens on high may be measured, and the bases of the earth searched out, then I will give up the seed of Israel, because of all they have done, says the Lord.

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:32:11 @So I took the paper witnessing the business, one copy rolled up and stamped, and one copy open:

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:32:15 @For the Lord of armies, the God of Israel, has said, There will again be trading in houses and fields and vine-gardens in this land.

bbe@Jeremiah:32:18 @You have mercy on thousands, and send punishment for the evil-doing of the fathers on their children after them: the great, the strong God, the Lord of armies is his name:

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:32:24 @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:32:29 @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:32:31 @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:32:32 @Because of all the evil of the children of Israel and of the children of Judah, which they have done to make me angry, they and their kings, their princes, their priests, and their prophets, and the men of Judah and the people of Jerusalem.

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:32:44 @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:33:4 @For this is what the Lord, the God of Israel, has said about the houses of this town and the houses of the kings of Judah, which have been broken down to make earthworks and...;

bbe@Jeremiah:33:5 @... and to make them full of the dead bodies of men whom I have put to death in my wrath and in my passion, and because of whose evil-doing I have kept my face covered from this town.

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:33:13 @In the towns of the hill-country, in the towns of the lowland, and in the towns of the South and in the land of Benjamin and in the country round Jerusalem and in the towns of Judah, the flocks will again go under the hand of him who is numbering them, says the Lord.

bbe@Jeremiah:33:15 @In those days and at that time, I will let a Branch of righteousness come up for David; and he will be a judge in righteousness in the land.

bbe@Jeremiah:33:16 @In those days, Judah will have salvation and Jerusalem will be safe: and this is the name which will be given to her: The Lord is our righteousness.

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:34:6 @Then Jeremiah the prophet said all these things to Zedekiah, king of Judah, in Jerusalem,

bbe@Jeremiah:34:7 @When the army of the king of Babylon was fighting against Jerusalem and against all the towns of Judah which had not been taken, against Lachish and against Azekah; for these were the last of the walled towns of Judah.

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:34:9 @That every man was to let his Hebrew man-servant and his Hebrew servant-girl go free; so that no one might make use of a Jew, his countryman, as a servant:

bbe@Jeremiah:34:10 @And this was done by all the rulers and the people who had taken part in the agreement, and every one let his man-servant and his servant-girl go free, not to be used as servants any longer; they did so, and let them go.

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:34:15 @And now, turning away from evil, you had done what is right in my eyes, giving a public undertaking for every man to make his neighbour free; and you had made an agreement before me in the house which is named by my name:

bbe@Jeremiah:34:19 @The rulers of Judah and the rulers of Jerusalem, the unsexed servants and the priests and all the people of the land who went between the parts of the ox,

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:35:4 @And I took them into the house of the Lord, into the room of the sons of Hanan, the son of Igdaliah, the man of God, which was near the rulers' room, which was over the room of Maaseiah, the son of Shallum, the keeper of the door;

bbe@Jeremiah:35:6 @But they said, We will take no wine: for Jonadab, the son of Rechab our father, gave us orders, saying, You are to take no wine, you or your sons, for ever:

bbe@Jeremiah:35:7 @And you are to make no houses, or put in seed, or get vine-gardens planted, or have any: but all your days you are to go on living in tents, so that you may have a long life in the land where you are living as in a strange country.

bbe@Jeremiah:35:8 @And we have kept the rules of Jonadab, the son of Rechab our father, in everything which he gave us orders to do, drinking no wine all our days, we and our wives and our sons and our daughters;

bbe@Jeremiah:35:9 @Building no houses for ourselves, having no vine-gardens or fields or seed:

bbe@Jeremiah:35:10 @But we have been living in tents, and have done everything which Jonadab our father gave us orders to do.

bbe@Jeremiah:35:11 @But when Nebuchadrezzar, king of Babylon, came up into the land, we said, Come, let us go to Jerusalem, away from the army of the Chaldaeans and from the army of the Aramaeans: and so we are living in Jerusalem.

bbe@Jeremiah:35:13 @This is what the Lord of armies, the God of Israel, has said: Go and say to the men of Judah and the people of Jerusalem, Is there no hope of teaching you to give ear to my words? says the Lord.

bbe@Jeremiah:35:17 @For this reason the Lord, the God of armies, the God of Israel, has said, See, I will send on Judah and on all the people of Jerusalem all the evil which I said I would do to them: because I sent my words to them, but they did not give ear; crying out to them, but they gave no answer.

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:36:5 @And Jeremiah gave orders to Baruch, saying, I am shut up, and am not able to go into the house of the Lord:

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:36:8 @And Baruch, the son of Neriah, did as Jeremiah the prophet gave him orders to do, reading from the book the words of the Lord in the Lord's house.

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:36:10 @Then Baruch gave a public reading of the words of Jeremiah from the book, in the house of the Lord, in the room of Gemariah, the son of Shaphan the scribe, in the higher square, as one goes in by the new doorway of the Lord's house, in the hearing of all the people.

bbe@Jeremiah:36:12 @Went down to the king's house, to the scribe's room: and all the rulers were seated there, Elishama the scribe and Delaiah, the son of Shemaiah, and Elnathan, the son of Achbor, and Gemariah, the son of Shaphan, and Zedekiah, the son of Hananiah, and all the rulers.

bbe@Jeremiah:36:14 @So all the rulers sent Jehudi, the son of Nethaniah, the son of Shelemiah, the son of Cushi, to Baruch, saying, Take in your hand the book from which you have been reading to the people and come. So Baruch, the son of Neriah, took the book in his hand and came down to them.

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:36:22 @Now the king was seated in the winter house, and a fire was burning in the fireplace in front of him.

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:36:31 @And I will send punishment on him and on his seed and on his servants for their evil-doing; I will send on them and on the people of Jerusalem and the men of Judah, all the evil which I said against them, but they did not give ear.

bbe@Jeremiah:37:3 @And Zedekiah the king sent Jehucal, the son of Shelemiah, and Zephaniah, the son of Maaseiah the priest, to the prophet Jeremiah, saying, Make prayer now to the Lord our God for us.

bbe@Jeremiah:37:5 @And Pharaoh's army had come out from Egypt: and the Chaldaeans, who were attacking Jerusalem, hearing news of them, went away from Jerusalem.)

bbe@Jeremiah:37:9 @The Lord has said, Have no false hopes, saying to yourselves, The Chaldaeans will go away from us: for they will not go away.

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:37:17 @Then King Zedekiah sent and got him out: and the king, questioning him secretly in his house, said, Is there any word from the Lord? And Jeremiah said, There is. Then he said, You will be given up into the hands of the king of Babylon.

bbe@Jeremiah:37:20 @And now be pleased to give ear, O my lord the king; let my prayer for help come before you, and do not make me go back to the house of Jonathan the scribe, for fear that I may come to my death there.

bbe@Jeremiah:37:21 @Then by the order of Zedekiah the king, Jeremiah was put into the place of the armed watchmen, and they gave him every day a cake of bread from the street of the bread-makers, till all the bread in the town was used up. So Jeremiah was kept in the place of the armed watchmen.

bbe@Jeremiah:38:4 @Then the rulers said to the king, Let this man be put to death, because he is putting fear into the hearts of the men of war who are still in the town, and into the hearts of the people, by saying such things to them: this man is not working for the well-being of the people, but for their damage.

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:38:8 @And Ebed-melech went out from the king's house and said to the king,

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:38:14 @Then King Zedekiah sent for Jeremiah the prophet and took him into the rulers' doorway in the house of the Lord: and the king said to Jeremiah, I have a question to put to you; keep nothing back from me.

bbe@Jeremiah:38:16 @So King Zedekiah gave his oath to Jeremiah secretly, saying, By the living Lord, who gave us our life, I will not put you to death, or give you up to these men who are desiring to take your life.

bbe@Jeremiah:38:22 @See, all the rest of the women in the house of the king of Judah will be taken out to the king of Babylon's captains, and these women will say, Your nearest friends have been false to you and have got the better of you: they have made your feet go deep into the wet earth, and they are turned away back from you.

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:38:26 @Then you are to say to them, I made my request to the king, that he would not send me back to my death in Jonathan's house.

bbe@Jeremiah:38:28 @So Jeremiah was kept in the place of the armed watchmen till the day when Jerusalem was taken.

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:39:8 @And the Chaldaeans put the king's house on fire, as well as the houses of the people, and had the walls of Jerusalem broken down.

bbe@Jeremiah:39:13 @So Nebuzaradan, the captain of the armed men, sent Nebushazban, the Rab-saris, and Nergal-shar-ezer, the Rabmag, and all the chief captains of the king of Babylon,

bbe@Jeremiah:39:14 @And they sent and took Jeremiah out of the place of the watchmen, and gave him into the care of Gedaliah, the son of Ahikam, the son of Shaphan, to take him to his house: so he was living among the people.

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:40:1 @The word which came to Jeremiah from the Lord, after Nebuzaradan, the captain of the armed men, had let him go from Ramah, when he had taken him; for he had been put in chains, among all the prisoners of Jerusalem and Judah who were taken away prisoners to Babylon.

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: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:41:8 @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:41:18 @Because of the Chaldaeans: for they were in fear of them because Ishmael, the son of Nethaniah, had put to death Gedaliah, the son of Ahikam, whom the king of Babylon had made ruler over the land.

bbe@Jeremiah:42:2 @And said to Jeremiah the prophet, Let our request come before you, and make prayer for us to the Lord your God, even for this small band of us; for we are only a small band out of what was a great number, as your eyes may see:

bbe@Jeremiah:44:19 @And the women said, When we were burning perfumes to the queen of heaven and draining out drink offerings to her, did we make cakes in her image and give her our drink offerings without the knowledge of our husbands?

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:49:13 @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:49:19 @See, he will come up like a lion from the thick growth of Jordan against the resting-place of Teman: but I will suddenly make him go in flight from her; and I will put over her the man of my selection: for who is like me? and who will put forward his cause against me? and what keeper of sheep will be able to keep his place before me?

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:49:23 @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:49:27 @And I will have a fire lighted on the wall of Damascus, burning up the great houses of Ben-hadad.

bbe@Jeremiah:50:7 @They have been attacked by all those who came across them: and their attackers said, We are doing no wrong, because they have done evil against the Lord in whom is righteousness, against the Lord, the hope of their fathers.

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:50:16 @Let the planter of seed be cut off from Babylon, and everyone using the curved blade at the time of the grain-cutting: for fear of the cruel sword, everyone will be turned to his people, everyone will go in flight to his land.

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:50:25 @From his store-house the Lord has taken the instruments of his wrath: for the Lord, the Lord of armies, has a work to do in the land of the Chaldaeans.

bbe@Jeremiah:50:26 @Come up against her one and all, let her store-houses be broken open: make her into a mass of stones, give her to the curse, till there is nothing of her to be seen.

bbe@Jeremiah:50:30 @For this cause her young men will be falling in her streets, and all her men of war will be cut off in that day, says the Lord.

bbe@Jeremiah:50:33 @This is what the Lord of armies has said: The children of Israel and the children of Judah are crushed down together: all those who took them prisoner keep them in a tight grip; they will not let them go.

bbe@Jeremiah:50:34 @Their saviour is strong; the Lord of armies is his name: he will certainly take up their cause, so that he may give rest to the earth and trouble to the people of Babylon.

bbe@Jeremiah:50:37 @A sword is on all the mixed people in her, and they will become like women: a sword is on her store-houses, and they will be taken by her attackers.

bbe@Jeremiah:50:44 @See, he will come up like a lion from the thick growth of Jordan against the resting-place of Teman: but I will suddenly make them go in flight from her; and I will put over her the man of my selection: for who is like me? and who will put forward his cause against me? and what keeper of sheep will keep his place before me?

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:51:9 @We would have made Babylon well, but she is not made well: give her up, and let us go everyone to his country: for her punishment is stretching up to heaven, and lifted up even to the skies.

bbe@Jeremiah:51:10 @The Lord has made clear our righteousness: come, and let us give an account in Zion of the work of the Lord our God.

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:51:14 @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:51:16 @At the sound of his voice there is a massing of the waters in the heavens, and he makes the mists go up from the ends of the earth; he makes the thunder-flames for the rain and sends out the wind from his store-houses.

bbe@Jeremiah:51:25 @See, I am against you, says the Lord, O mountain of destruction, causing the destruction of all the earth: and my hand will be stretched out on you, rolling you down from the rocks, and making you a burned mountain.

bbe@Jeremiah:51:27 @Let a flag be lifted up in the land, let the horn be sounded among the nations, make the nations ready against her; get the kingdoms of Ararat, Minni, and Ashkenaz together against her, make ready a scribe against her; let the horses come up against her like massed locusts.

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:51:34 @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:51:35 @May the violent things done to me, and my downfall, come on Babylon, the daughter of Zion will say; and, May my blood be on the people of Chaldaea, Jerusalem will say.

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:51:41 @How is Babylon taken! and the praise of all the earth surprised! how has Babylon become a cause of wonder among the nations!

bbe@Jeremiah:51:46 @So that your hearts may not become feeble and full of fear because of the news which will go about in the land; for a story will go about one year, and after that in another year another story, and violent acts in the land, ruler against ruler.

bbe@Jeremiah:51:47 @For this cause, truly, the days are coming when I will send punishment on the images of Babylon, and all her land will be shamed, and her dead will be falling down in her.

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:51:59 @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:51:64 @And you are to say, So Babylon will go down, never to be lifted up again, because of the evil which I will send on her: and weariness will overcome them. So far, these are the words of Jeremiah.

bbe@Jeremiah:52:1 @Zedekiah was twenty-one years old when he became king; he was king for eleven years in Jerusalem: and his mother's name was Hamutal, the daughter of Jeremiah of Libnah.

bbe@Jeremiah:52:3 @And because of the wrath of the Lord this came about in Jerusalem and Judah, till he had sent them away from before him: and Zedekiah took up arms against the king of Babylon.

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:52:12 @Now in the fifth month, on the tenth day of the month, in the nineteenth year of King Nebuchadrezzar, king of Babylon, Nebuzaradan, the captain of the armed men, a servant of the king of Babylon, came into Jerusalem.

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:52:17 @And the brass pillars which were in the house of the Lord, and the wheeled bases and the great brass water-vessel in the house of the Lord, were broken up by the Chaldaeans, who took all the brass away to Babylon.

bbe@Jeremiah:52:18 @And the pots and the spades and the scissors for the lights and the spoons, and all the brass vessels used in the Lord's house, they took away.

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:52:28 @These are the people whom Nebuchadrezzar took away prisoner: in the seventh year, three thousand and twenty-three Jews:

bbe@Jeremiah:52:29 @And in the eighteenth year of Nebuchadrezzar he took away as prisoners from Jerusalem eight hundred and thirty-two persons:

bbe@Jeremiah:52:30 @In the twenty-third year of Nebuchadrezzar, Nebuzaradan, the captain of the armed men, took away as prisoners seven hundred and forty-five of the Jews: all the persons were four thousand and six hundred.

bbe@Lamentations:1:3 @Judah has been taken away as a prisoner because of trouble and hard work; her living-place is among the nations, there is no rest for her: all her attackers have overtaken her in a narrow place.

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:1:5 @Those who are against her have become the head, everything goes well for her haters; for the Lord has sent sorrow on her because of the great number of her sins: her young children have gone away as prisoners before the attacker.

bbe@Lamentations:1:7 @Jerusalem keeps in mind, in the days of her sorrow and of her wanderings, all the desired things which were hers in days gone by; when her people came into the power of her hater and she had no helper, her attackers saw their desire effected on her and made sport of her destruction.

bbe@Lamentations:1:8 @Great is the sin of Jerusalem; for this cause she has become an unclean thing: all those who gave her honour are looking down on her, because they have seen her shame: now truly, breathing out grief, she is turned back.

bbe@Lamentations:1:15 @The Lord has made sport of all my men of war in me, he has got men together against me to send destruction on my young men: the virgin daughter of Judah has been crushed like grapes under the feet of the Lord.

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:1:17 @Zion's hands are outstretched; she has no comforter; the Lord has given orders to the attackers of Jacob round about him: Jerusalem has become like an unclean thing among them.

bbe@Lamentations:1:20 @See, O Lord, for I am in trouble; the inmost parts of my body are deeply moved; my heart is turned in me; for I have been uncontrolled: outside the children are put to the sword, and in the house there is death.

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:2:3 @In his burning wrath every horn of Israel has been cut off; his right hand has been turned back before the attacker: he has put a fire in Jacob, causing destruction round about.

bbe@Lamentations:2:5 @The Lord has become like one fighting against her, sending destruction on Israel; he has sent destruction on all her great houses, making waste his strong places: increasing the grief and the sorrow of the daughter of Judah.

bbe@Lamentations:2:7 @The Lord has given up his altar and has been turned in hate from his holy place; he has given up into the hands of the attacker the walls of her great houses: their voices have been loud in the house of the Lord as in the day of a holy meeting.

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:2:13 @What example am I to give you? what comparison am I to make for you, O daughter of Jerusalem? what am I to make equal to you, so that I may give you comfort, O virgin daughter of Zion? for your destruction is great like the sea: who is able to make you well?

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:2:21 @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:3:4 @My flesh and my skin have been used up by him and my bones broken.

bbe@Lamentations:3:16 @By him my teeth have been broken with crushed stones, and I am bent low in the dust.

bbe@Lamentations:3:21 @This I keep in mind, and because of this I have hope.

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:3:24 @I said to myself, The Lord is my heritage; and because of this I will have hope in him.

bbe@Lamentations:3:28 @Let him be seated by himself, saying nothing, because he has put it on him.

bbe@Lamentations:3:29 @Let him put his mouth in the dust, if by chance there may be hope.

bbe@Lamentations:3:33 @For he has no pleasure in troubling and causing grief to the children of men.

bbe@Lamentations:3:34 @In a man's crushing under his feet all the prisoners of the earth,

bbe@Lamentations:3:36 @In his doing wrong to a man in his cause, the Lord has no pleasure.

bbe@Lamentations:3:40 @Let us make search and put our ways to the test, turning again to the Lord;

bbe@Lamentations:3:43 @Covering yourself with wrath you have gone after us, cutting us off without pity;

bbe@Lamentations:3:45 @You have made us like waste and that for which there is no use, among the peoples.

bbe@Lamentations:3:46 @The mouths of all our haters are open wide against us.

bbe@Lamentations:3:47 @Fear and deep waters have come on us, wasting and destruction.

bbe@Lamentations:3:52 @They who are against me without cause have gone hard after me as if I was a bird;

bbe@Lamentations:3:58 @O Lord, you have taken up the cause of my soul, you have made my life safe.

bbe@Lamentations:3:59 @O Lord, you have seen my wrong; be judge in my cause.

bbe@Lamentations:4:5 @Those who were used to feasting on delicate food are wasted in the streets: those who as children were dressed in purple are stretched out on the dust.

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:4:19 @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:5:1 @Keep in mind, O Lord, what has come to us: take note and see our shame.

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:5:7 @Our fathers were sinners and are dead; and the weight of their evil-doing is on us.

bbe@Lamentations:5:8 @Servants are ruling over us, and there is no one to make us free from their hands.

bbe@Lamentations:5:9 @We put our lives in danger to get our bread, because of the sword of the waste land.

bbe@Lamentations:5:10 @Our skin is heated like an oven because of our burning heat from need of food.

bbe@Lamentations:5:13 @The young men were crushing the grain, and the boys were falling under the wood.

bbe@Lamentations:5:14 @The old men are no longer seated in the doorway, and the music of the young men has come to an end.

bbe@Lamentations:5:17 @Because of this our hearts are feeble; for these things our eyes are dark;

bbe@Lamentations:5:18 @Because of the mountain of Zion which is a waste; jackals go over it.

bbe@Lamentations:5:20 @Why have we gone from your memory for ever? why have you been turned away from us for so long?

bbe@Lamentations:5:21 @Make us come back to you, O Lord, and let us be turned; make our days new again as in the past.

bbe@Lamentations:5:22 @But you have quite given us up; you are full of wrath against us.

bbe@Ezekiel:1:24 @And when they went, the sound of their wings was like the sound of great waters to my ears, like the voice of the Ruler of all, a sound like the rushing of an army: when they came to rest they let down their wings.

bbe@Ezekiel:3:12 @Then I was lifted up by the wind, and at my back the sound of a great rushing came to my ears when the glory of the Lord was lifted up from his place.

bbe@Ezekiel:3:13 @And there was the sound of the wings of the living beings touching one another, and the sound of the wheels at their side, the sound of a great rushing.

bbe@Ezekiel:3:20 @Again, when an upright man, turning away from his righteousness, does evil, and I put a cause of falling in his way, death will overtake him: because you have given him no word of his danger, death will overtake him in his evil-doing, and there will be no memory of the upright acts which he has done; but I will make you responsible for his blood.

bbe@Ezekiel:3:21 @But if you say to the upright man that he is not to do evil, he will certainly keep his life because he took note of your word; and your life will be safe.

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: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:4:7 @And let your face be turned to where Jerusalem is shut in, with your arm uncovered, and be a prophet against it.

bbe@Ezekiel:4:14 @Then I said, Ah, Lord! see, my soul has never been unclean, and I have never taken as my food anything which has come to a natural death or has been broken by beasts, from the time when I was young even till now; no disgusting flesh has ever come into my mouth.

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:5:5 @This is what the Lord has said: This is Jerusalem: I have put her among the nations, and countries are round her on every side;

bbe@Ezekiel:5:7 @For this cause the Lord has said: Because you have been more uncontrolled than the nations round about you, and have not been guided by my rules or kept my orders, but have kept the orders of the nations round about you;

bbe@Ezekiel:5:8 @For this cause the Lord has said: See, I, even I, am against you; and I will be judging among you before the eyes of the nations.

bbe@Ezekiel:5:9 @And I will do in you what I have not done and will not do again, because of all your disgusting ways.

bbe@Ezekiel:5:10 @For this cause fathers will take their sons for food among you, and sons will make a meal of their fathers; and I will be judge among you, and all the rest of you I will send away to every wind.

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:5:16 @When I send on you the evil arrows of disease, causing destruction, which I will send to put an end to you; and, further, I will take away your necessary food.

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:6:9 @And those of you who are kept safe will have me in mind among the nations where they have been taken away as prisoners, how I sent punishment on their hearts which were untrue to me, and on their eyes which were turned to their false gods: and they will be full of hate for themselves because of the evil things which they have done in all their disgusting ways.

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:7:3 @Now the end has come on you, and I will send my wrath on you, judging you for your ways, I will send punishment on you for all your disgusting acts.

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:7:8 @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:7:19 @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:7:24 @For this reason I will send the worst of the nations and they will take their houses for themselves: I will make the pride of their strength come to an end; and their holy places will be made unclean.

bbe@Ezekiel:8:1 @Now in the sixth year, in the sixth month, on the fifth day of the month, when I was in my house and the responsible men of Judah were seated before me, the hand of the Lord came on me there.

bbe@Ezekiel:8:3 @And he put out the form of a hand and took me by the hair of my head; and the wind, lifting me up between the earth and the heaven, took me in the visions of God to Jerusalem, to the way into the inner door facing to the north; where was the seat of the image of envy.

bbe@Ezekiel:8:6 @And he said to me, Son of man, do you see what they are doing? even the very disgusting things which the children of Israel are doing here, causing me to go far away from my holy place? but you will see other most disgusting things.

bbe@Ezekiel:8:9 @And he said to me, Go in and see the evil and disgusting things which they are doing here.

bbe@Ezekiel:8:12 @And he said to me, Son of man, have you seen what the responsible men of the children of Israel do in the dark, every man in his room of pictured images? for they say, The Lord does not see us; the Lord has gone away from the land.

bbe@Ezekiel:8:13 @Then he said to me, You will see even more disgusting things which they do.

bbe@Ezekiel:8:14 @Then he took me to the door of the way into the Lord's house looking to the north; and there women were seated weeping for Tammuz.

bbe@Ezekiel:8:15 @Then he said to me, Have you seen this, O son of man? you will see even more disgusting things than these.

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: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:9:7 @And he said to them, Make the house unclean, make the open places full of dead: go forward and send destruction on the town.

bbe@Ezekiel:9:8 @Now while they were doing so, and I was untouched, I went down on my face, and crying out, I said, Ah, Lord! will you give all the rest of Israel to destruction in letting loose your wrath on Jerusalem?

bbe@Ezekiel:10:3 @Now the winged ones were stationed on the right side of the house when the man went in; and the inner square was full of the cloud.

bbe@Ezekiel:10:4 @And the glory of the Lord went up from the winged ones and came to rest over the doorstep of the house; and the house was full of the cloud and the open square was full of the shining of the Lord's glory.

bbe@Ezekiel:10:18 @Then the glory of the Lord went out from the doorstep of the house, and came to rest over the winged ones.

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:11:1 @And the wind, lifting me up, took me to the east doorway of the Lord's house, looking to the east: and at the door I saw twenty-five men; and among them I saw Jaazaniah, the son of Azzur, and Pelatiah, the son of Benaiah, rulers of the people.

bbe@Ezekiel:11:3 @Who say, This is not the time for building houses: this town is the cooking-pot and we are the flesh.

bbe@Ezekiel:11:4 @For this cause be a prophet against them, be a prophet, O son of man.

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:11:18 @And they will come there, and take away all the hated and disgusting things from it.

bbe@Ezekiel:11:21 @But as for those whose heart goes after their hated and disgusting things, I will send on their heads the punishment of their ways, says the Lord.

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:12:16 @But a small number of them I will keep from the sword, from the need of food, and from disease, so that they may make clear all their disgusting ways among the nations where they come; and they will be certain that I am the Lord.

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:12:24 @For there will be no more false visions or smooth use of secret arts in Israel.

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:13:16 @Even the prophets of Israel who say words to Jerusalem, who see visions of peace for her when there is no peace, says the Lord.

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:13:23 @For this cause you will see no more foolish visions or make false use of secret arts: and I will make my people free from your power; and you will be certain that I am the Lord.

bbe@Ezekiel:14:3 @Son of man, these men have taken their false gods into their hearts and put before their faces the sin which is the cause of their fall: am I to give ear when they come to me for directions?

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:14:5 @So as to take the children of Israel in the thoughts of their hearts, because they have become strange to me through their false gods.

bbe@Ezekiel:14:6 @For this cause say to the children of Israel, These are the words of the Lord: Come back and give up your false gods and let your faces be turned from your disgusting things.

bbe@Ezekiel:14:7 @When any one of the men of Israel, or of those from other lands who are living in Israel, who has become strange to me, and takes his false gods into his heart, and puts before his face the sin which is the cause of his fall, comes to the prophet to get directions from me; I the Lord will give him an answer by myself:

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:14:20 @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:15:3 @Will its wood be used for any work? do men make of it a pin for hanging any vessel on?

bbe@Ezekiel:15:5 @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:15:6 @For this cause the Lord has said: Like the vine-tree among the trees of the woods which I have given to the fire for burning, so will I give the people of Jerusalem.

bbe@Ezekiel:15:8 @And I will make the land a waste because they have done evil, says the Lord.

bbe@Ezekiel:16:2 @Son of man, make clear to Jerusalem her disgusting ways,

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:16:14 @You were so beautiful that the story of you went out into all nations; you were completely beautiful because of my glory which I had put on you, says the Lord.

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:16:22 @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:16:25 @You put up your high places at the top of every street, and made the grace of your form a disgusting thing, opening your feet to everyone who went by, increasing your loose ways.

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:16:32 @The untrue wife who takes strange lovers in place of her husband!

bbe@Ezekiel:16:34 @And in your loose behaviour you are different from other women, for no one goes after you to make love to you: and because you give payment and no payment is given to you, in this you are different from them.

bbe@Ezekiel:16:35 @For this cause, O loose woman, give ear to the voice of the Lord:

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:16:43 @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:16:45 @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:16:50 @They were full of pride and did what was disgusting to me: and so I took them away as you have seen.

bbe@Ezekiel:16:51 @And Samaria has not done half your sins; but you have made the number of your disgusting acts greater than theirs, making your sisters seem more upright than you by all the disgusting things which you have done.

bbe@Ezekiel:16:52 @And you yourself will be put to shame, in that you have given the decision for your sisters; through your sins, which are more disgusting than theirs, they are more upright than you: truly, you will be shamed and made low, for you have made your sisters seem upright.

bbe@Ezekiel:16:54 @So that you will be shamed and made low because of all you have done, when I have mercy on you.

bbe@Ezekiel:16:58 @The reward of your evil designs and your disgusting ways has come on you, says the Lord.

bbe@Ezekiel:16:63 @So that, at the memory of these things, you may be at a loss, never opening your mouth because of your shame; when you have my forgiveness for all you have done, says the Lord.

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:17:12 @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: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:18:5 @But if a man is upright, living rightly and doing righteousness,

bbe@Ezekiel:18:12 @Has done wrong to the poor and to him who is in need, and taken property by force, and has not given back to one in his debt what is his, and has given worship to images and has done disgusting things,

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:18:18 @As for his father, because he was cruel, took goods by force, and did what is not good among his people, truly, death will overtake him in his evil-doing.

bbe@Ezekiel:18:20 @The soul which does sin will be put to death: the son will not be made responsible for the evil-doing of the father, or the father for the evil-doing of the son; the righteousness of the upright will be on himself, and the evil-doing of the evil-doer on himself.

bbe@Ezekiel:18:22 @Not one of the sins which he has done will be kept in memory against him: in the righteousness which he has done he will have life.

bbe@Ezekiel:18:24 @But when the upright man, turning away from his righteousness, does evil, like all the disgusting things which the evil man does, will he have life? Not one of his upright acts will be kept in memory: in the wrong which he has done and in his sin death will overtake him.

bbe@Ezekiel:18:26 @When the upright man, turning away from his righteousness, does evil, death will overtake him; in the evil which he has done death will overtake him.

bbe@Ezekiel:18:28 @Because he had fear and was turned away from all the wrong which he had done, life will certainly be his, death will not be his fate.

bbe@Ezekiel:18:30 @For this cause I will be your judge, O children of Israel, judging every man by his ways, says the Lord. Come back and be turned from all your sins; so that they may not be the cause of your falling into evil.

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:19:10 @Your mother was in comparison like a vine, planted by the waters: she was fertile and full of branches because of the great waters

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:20:4 @Will you be their judge, O son of man, will you be their judge? make clear to them the disgusting ways of their fathers,

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:20:8 @But they would not be controlled by me, and did not give ear to me; they did not put away the disgusting things to which their eyes were turned, or give up the images of Egypt: then I said I would let loose my passion on them to give full effect to my wrath against them in the land of Egypt.

bbe@Ezekiel:20:16 @Because they were turned away from my orders, and were not guided by my rules, and had no respect for my Sabbaths: for their hearts went after their images.

bbe@Ezekiel:20:24 @Because they had not done my orders, but had been turned away from my rules, and had not given respect to my Sabbaths, and their eyes were turned to the images of their fathers.

bbe@Ezekiel:20:26 @I made them unclean in the offerings they gave, causing them to make every first child go through the fire, so that I might put an end to them.

bbe@Ezekiel:20:27 @For this cause, son of man, say to the children of Israel, This is what the Lord has said: In this your fathers have further put shame on my name by doing wrong against me.

bbe@Ezekiel:20:30 @For this cause say to the children of Israel, This is what the Lord has said: Are you making yourselves unclean as your fathers did? are you being untrue to me by going after their disgusting works?

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:20:35 @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:20:43 @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:21:2 @Son of man, let your face be turned to Jerusalem, let your words be dropped in the direction of her holy place, and be a prophet against the land of Israel;

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:21:7 @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:21:12 @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:21:20 @Put a pillar at the top of the road for the sword to come to Rabbah in the land of the children of Ammon, and to Judah and to Jerusalem in the middle of her.

bbe@Ezekiel:21:21 @For the king of Babylon took his place at the parting of the ways, at the top of the two roads, to make use of secret arts: shaking the arrows this way and that, he put questions to the images of his gods, he took note of the inner parts of dead beasts.

bbe@Ezekiel:21:22 @At his right hand was the fate of Jerusalem, to give orders for destruction, to send up the war-cry, to put engines of war against the doors, lifting up earthworks, building walls.

bbe@Ezekiel:21:24 @For this cause the Lord has said: Because you have made your evil-doing come to mind by the uncovering of your wrongdoing, causing your sins to be seen in all your evil-doings; because you have come to mind, you will be taken in them.

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:22:2 @And you, son of man, will you be a judge, will you be a judge of the town of blood? then make clear to her all her disgusting ways.

bbe@Ezekiel:22:3 @And you are to say, This is what the Lord has said: A town causing blood to be drained out in her streets so that her time may come, and making images in her to make her unclean!

bbe@Ezekiel:22:4 @You are responsible for the blood drained out by you, and you are unclean through the images which you have made; and you have made your day come near, and the time of your judging has come; for this cause I have made you a name of shame to the nations and a cause of laughing to all countries.

bbe@Ezekiel:22:6 @See, the rulers of Israel, every one in his family, have been causing death in you.

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:22:19 @For this cause the Lord has said: Because you have all become waste metal, see, I will get you together inside Jerusalem.

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:23:3 @They were acting like loose women in Egypt; when they were young their behaviour was loose: there their breasts were crushed, even the points of their young breasts were crushed.

bbe@Ezekiel:23:4 @Their names were Oholah, the older, and Oholibah, her sister: and they became mine, and gave birth to sons and daughters. As for their names, Samaria is Oholah, and Jerusalem, Oholibah.

bbe@Ezekiel:23:8 @And she has not given up her loose ways from the time when she was in Egypt; for when she was young they were her lovers, and by them her young breasts were crushed, and they let loose on her their unclean desire.

bbe@Ezekiel:23:9 @For this cause I gave her up into the hands of her lovers, into the hands of the Assyrians on whom her desire was fixed.

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:23:21 @And she made the memory of the loose ways of her early years come back to mind, when her young breasts were crushed by the Egyptians.

bbe@Ezekiel:23:22 @For this cause, O Oholibah, this is what the Lord has said: See, I will make your lovers come up against you, even those from whom your soul is turned away in disgust; and I will make them come up against you on every side;

bbe@Ezekiel:23:28 @For this is what the Lord has said: See, I will give you up into the hands of those who are hated by you, into the hands of those from whom your soul is turned away in disgust:

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:23:35 @So this is what the Lord has said: Because you have not kept me in your memory, and because your back has been turned to me, you will even undergo the punishment of your evil designs and your loose ways.

bbe@Ezekiel:23:36 @Then the Lord said to me: Son of man, will you be the judge of Oholibah? then make clear to her the disgusting things she has done.

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:23:45 @And upright men will be her judges, judging her as false wives and women who take lives are judged; because she has been untrue to me and blood is on her hands.

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: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:24:7 @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:24:9 @For this cause the Lord has said: A curse is on the town of blood! and I will make great the burning mass.

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:24:19 @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: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:25:5 @And I will make Rabbah a place for housing camels, and the children of Ammon a resting-place for flocks: and you will be certain that I am the Lord.

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:25:7 @For this cause my hand has been stretched out against you, and I will give up your goods to be taken by the nations; I will have you cut off from the peoples and will put an end to you among the countries: I will give you up to destruction; and you will be certain that I am the Lord.

bbe@Ezekiel:25:8 @This is what the Lord has said: Because Moab and Seir are saying, See, the people of Judah are like all the nations;

bbe@Ezekiel:25:9 @For this cause, I will let the side of Moab be uncovered, and his towns on every side, the glory of the land, Beth-jeshimoth, Baal-meon and as far as Kiriathaim

bbe@Ezekiel:25:12 @This is what the Lord has said: Because Edom has taken his payment from the people of Judah, and has done great wrong in taking payment from them;

bbe@Ezekiel:25:14 @I will take payment from Edom because of my people Israel; and I will take Edom in hand in my wrath and in my passion: and they will have experience of my reward, says the Lord.

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:26:2 @Son of man, because Tyre has said against Jerusalem, Aha, she who was the doorway of the peoples is broken; she is turned over to them; she who was full is made waste;

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:26:10 @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:26:13 @I will put an end to the noise of your songs, and the sound of your instruments of music will be gone for ever.

bbe@Ezekiel:26:17 @And they will send up a song of grief for you, and say to you, What destruction has come on you, how are you cut off from the sea, the noted town, which was strong in the sea, she and her people, causing the fear of them to come on all the dry land!

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:27:10 @Cush and Lud and Put were in your army, your men of war, hanging up their body-covers and head-dresses of war in you: they gave you your glory.

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:27:18 @Damascus did business with you because of the great amount of your wealth, with wine of Helbon and white wool.

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:27:25 @Tarshish ships did business for you in your goods: and you were made full, and great was your glory in the heart of the seas.

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:27:36 @Those who do business among the peoples make sounds of surprise at you; you have become a thing of fear, you have come to an end for ever.

bbe@Ezekiel:28:2 @Son of man, say to the ruler of Tyre, This is what the Lord has said: Because your heart has been lifted up, and you have said, I am a god, I am seated on the seat of God in the heart of the seas; but you are man and not God, though you have made your heart as the heart of God:

bbe@Ezekiel:28:4 @By your wisdom and deep knowledge you have got power for yourself, and put silver and gold in your store-houses:

bbe@Ezekiel:28:5 @By your great wisdom and by your trade your power is increased, and your heart is lifted up because of your power:

bbe@Ezekiel:28:6 @For this cause the Lord has said: Because you have made your heart as the heart of God,

bbe@Ezekiel:28:13 @You were in Eden, the garden of God; every stone of great price was your clothing, the sardius, the topaz, and the diamond, the beryl, the onyx, and the jasper, the emerald and the carbuncle: your store-houses were full of gold, and things of great price were in you; in the day when you were made they were got ready.

bbe@Ezekiel:28:17 @Your heart was lifted up because you were beautiful, you made your wisdom evil through your sin: I have sent you down, even to the earth; I have made you low before kings, so that they may see you.

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:28:26 @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:29:6 @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:29:7 @When they took a grip of you in their hands, you were crushed so that their arms were broken: and when they put their weight on you for support, you were broken and all their muscles gave way.

bbe@Ezekiel:29:8 @For this cause the Lord has said: See, I am sending a sword on you, cutting off from you man and beast.

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:29:16 @And Egypt will no longer be the hope of the children of Israel, causing sin to come to mind when their eyes are turned to them: and they will be certain that I am the Lord.

bbe@Ezekiel:29:19 @For this cause the Lord has said: See, I am giving the land of Egypt to Nebuchadrezzar, king of Babylon: he will take away her wealth, and take her goods by force and everything which is there; and this will be the payment for his army.

bbe@Ezekiel:29:20 @I have given him the land of Egypt as the reward for his hard work, because they were working for me, 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:30:16 @And I will put a fire in Egypt; Syene will be twisting in pain, and No will be broken into, as by the onrush of waters.

bbe@Ezekiel:30:22 @For this cause the Lord has said: See, I am against Pharaoh, king of Egypt, and by me his strong arm will be broken; and I will make the sword go out of his hand.

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:31:10 @For this cause the Lord has said: Because he is tall, and has put his top among the clouds, and his heart is full of pride because he is so high,

bbe@Ezekiel:31:15 @This is what the Lord has said: The day when he goes down to the underworld, I will make the deep full of grief for him; I will keep back her streams and the great waters will be stopped: I will make Lebanon dark for him, and all the trees of the field will be feeble because of him.

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:32:23 @Whose resting-places are in the inmost parts of the underworld, who were a cause of fear in the land of the living

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:32:30 @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:33:10 @And you, son of man, say to the children of Israel, You say, Our wrongdoing and our sins are on us and we are wasting away in them; how then may we have life?

bbe@Ezekiel:33:12 @And you, son of man, say to the children of your people, The righteousness of the upright man will not make him safe in the day when he does wrong; and the evil-doing of the evil man will not be the cause of his fall in the day when he is turned from his evil-doing; and the upright man will not have life because of his righteousness in the day when he does evil.

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:33:18 @When the upright man, turning away from his righteousness, does evil, death will overtake him in it.

bbe@Ezekiel:33:21 @Now in the twelfth year after we had been taken away prisoners, in the tenth month, on the fifth day of the month, one who had got away in flight from Jerusalem came to me, saying, The town has been taken.

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:33:28 @And I will make the land a waste and a cause of wonder, and the pride of her strength will come to an end; and the mountains of Israel will be made waste so that no one will go through.

bbe@Ezekiel:33:29 @Then they will be certain that I am the Lord, when I have made the land a waste and a cause of wonder, because of all the disgusting things which they have done,

bbe@Ezekiel:33:30 @And as for you, son of man, the children of your people are talking together about you by the walls and in the doorways of the houses, saying to one another, Come now, give ear to the word which comes from the Lord.

bbe@Ezekiel:34:5 @And they were wandering in every direction because there was no keeper: and they became food for all the beasts of the field.

bbe@Ezekiel:34:7 @For this cause, O keepers of the flock, give ear to the word of the Lord:

bbe@Ezekiel:34:8 @By my life, says the Lord, truly, because my sheep have been taken away, and my sheep became food for all the beasts of the field, because there was no keeper, and my keepers did not go in search of the sheep, but the keepers took food for themselves and gave my sheep no food;

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:34:28 @And their goods will no longer be taken by the nations, and they will not again be food for the beasts of the earth; but they will be living safely and no one will be a cause of fear to them.

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:35:6 @For this cause, by my life, says the Lord, because you have been sinning through blood, blood will come after you.

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:35:11 @For this cause, by my life, says the Lord, I will do to you as you have done in your wrath and in your envy, which you have made clear in your hate for them; and I will make clear to you who I am when you are judged by me.

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:35:14 @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: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:36:7 @For this cause the Lord has said, See, I have taken an oath that the nations which are round about you are themselves to undergo the shame which they have put on you.

bbe@Ezekiel:36:13 @This is what the Lord has said: Because they say to you, You, O land, are the destruction of men, causing loss of children to your nation;

bbe@Ezekiel:36:14 @For this reason you will no longer take the lives of men and will never again be the cause of loss of children to your nation, says the Lord.

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:36:22 @For this cause say to the children of Israel, This is what the Lord has said: I am doing this, not because of you, O children of Israel, but because of my holy name, which you have made unclean among the nations wherever you went.

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:36:31 @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:36:38 @Like sheep for the offerings, like the sheep of Jerusalem at her fixed feasts, so the unpeopled towns will be made full of men: and they will be certain that I am the Lord.

bbe@Ezekiel:37:6 @And I will put muscles on you and make flesh come on you, and put skin over you, and breath into you, so that you may have life; and you will be certain that I am the 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:37:12 @For this cause be a prophet to them, and say, This is what the Lord has said: See, I am opening the resting-places of your dead, and I will make you come up out of your resting-places, O my people; and I will take you into the land of Israel.

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:37:27 @And my House will be over them; and I will be to them a God, and they will be to me a people.

bbe@Ezekiel:38:5 @Persia, Cush, and Put with them; all of them with body-cover and metal head-dress:

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:38:22 @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:39:23 @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:39:25 @For this cause the Lord has said, Now I will let the fate of Jacob be changed, and I will have mercy on all the children of Israel, and will take care of the honour of my holy name.

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:39:28 @And they will be certain that I am the Lord their God, because I sent them away as prisoners among the nations, and have taken them together back to their land; and I have not let one of them be there any longer.

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:40:42 @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:40:45 @And he said to me, This room, facing south, is for the priests who have the care of the house.

bbe@Ezekiel:40:46 @And the room facing north is for the priests who have the care of the altar: these are the sons of Zadok, who, from among the sons of Levi, come near to the Lord to do the work of his house.

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: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:41:6 @And the side-rooms, room over room, were three times thirty; there were inlets in the wall of the house for the side-rooms round about, for supports in the wall of the house.

bbe@Ezekiel:41:7 @The side-rooms became wider as they went higher up the house, by the amount of the space let into the wall up round about the house, because of the inlets in the house; and one went up from the lowest floor by steps to the middle, and from the middle to the upper floor.

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:41:13 @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:41:17 @And there was a roof over the doorway and as far as the inner house, and to the outside and on the wall all round, inside and outside.

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:41:26 @And there were sloping windows and palm-trees on one side and on the other, on the sides of the covered way: and the side-rooms of the house and the...

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:43:4 @And the glory of the Lord came into the house by the way of the doorway looking to the east.

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:43:6 @And the voice of one talking to me came to my ears from inside the house; and the man was by my side.

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:43:21 @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: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:44:4 @And he took me to the north doorway in front of the house; and, looking, I saw that the house of the Lord was full of the glory of the Lord; and I went down on my face.

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:44:11 @But they may be caretakers in my holy place, and overseers at the doors of the house, doing the work of the house: they will put to death the burned offering and the beasts offered for the people, and they will take their place before them as their servants.

bbe@Ezekiel:44:12 @Because they did this work for them before their images, and became a cause of sin to the children of Israel; for this cause my hand has been lifted up against them, says the Lord, and their punishment will be on them.

bbe@Ezekiel:44:13 @And they will not come near me to do the work of priests to me, or come near any of my holy things, or the things which are most holy: but their shame will be on them, and the punishment for the disgusting things which they have done.

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:44:16 @They are to come into my holy place and they are to come near to my table, to do my work and have the care of my house.

bbe@Ezekiel:44:17 @And when they come in by the doorways of the inner square, they are to be clothed in linen robes; there is to be no wool on them while they are doing my work in the doorway of the inner square and inside the house.

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:44:22 @And they are not to take as wives any widow or woman whose husband has put her away: but they may take virgins of the seed of Israel, or a widow who is the widow of a priest.

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:44:25 @They are not to come near any dead person so as to become unclean: but for a father or mother or son or daughter or brother or for a sister who has no husband, they may make themselves unclean.

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:44:31 @The priests may not take for food any bird or beast which has come to a natural death or whose death has been caused by another animal.

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:45:3 @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:45:6 @And as the property for the town you are to have a part five thousand wide and twenty-five thousand long, by the side of the offering of the holy part of the land: this is to be for all the children of Israel.

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:45:20 @And this you are to do on the seventh day of the month for everyone who is in error and for the feeble-minded: you are to make the house free from sin.

bbe@Ezekiel:46:24 @And he said to me, These are the boiling-rooms, where the offering of the people is cooked by the servants of the house.

bbe@Ezekiel:47:1 @And he took me back to the door of the house; and I saw that waters were flowing out from under the doorstep of the house on the east, for the house was facing east: and the waters came down from under, from the right side of the house, on the south side of the altar.

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:47:12 @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:47:16 @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: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:48:8 @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:48:9 @The offering you will give to the Lord is to be twenty-five thousand long and twenty-five thousand wide.

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:48:13 @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:48:15 @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:48:20 @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:48:30 @And these are the outskirts of the town: on the north side, four thousand five hundred by measure;

bbe@Ezekiel:48:32 @And at the east side, four thousand five hundred by measure, and three doors, one for Joseph, one for Benjamin, one for Dan;

bbe@Ezekiel:48:33 @And at the south side, four thousand five hundred by measure, and three doors, one for Simeon, one for Issachar, one for Zebulun;

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:1:12 @Put your servants to the test for ten days; let them give us grain for our food and water for our drink.

bbe@Daniel:1:20 @And in any business needing wisdom and good sense, about which the king put questions to them, he saw that they were ten times better than all the wonder-workers and users of secret arts in all his kingdom.

bbe@Daniel:1:21 @And Daniel went on till the first year of King Cyrus.

bbe@Daniel:2:2 @Then the king gave orders that the wonder-workers, and the users of secret arts, and those who made use of evil powers, and the Chaldaeans, were to be sent for to make clear to the king his dreams. So they came and took their places before the king.

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:2:8 @The king made answer and said, I am certain that you are attempting to get more time, because you see that my decision is fixed;

bbe@Daniel:2:10 @Then the Chaldaeans said to the king in answer, There is not a man on earth able to make clear the king's business; for no king, however great his power, has ever made such a request to any wonder-worker or user of secret arts or Chaldaean.

bbe@Daniel:2:12 @Because of this the king was angry and full of wrath, and gave orders for the destruction of all the wise men of Babylon.

bbe@Daniel:2:15 @He made answer and said to Arioch, O captain of the king, why is the king's order so cruel? Then Arioch gave Daniel an account of the business.

bbe@Daniel:2:17 @And Daniel went to his house and gave his friends Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah the news:

bbe@Daniel:2:23 @I give you praise and worship, O God of my fathers, who have given me wisdom and strength, and have now made clear to me what we were requesting from you: for you have given us knowledge of the king's business.

bbe@Daniel:2:27 @Then Daniel said in answer to the king, No wise men, or users of secret arts, or wonder-workers, or readers of signs, are able to make clear to the king the secret he is searching for;

bbe@Daniel:2:30 @As for me, this secret is not made clear to me because of any wisdom which I have more than any living man, but in order that the sense of the dream may be made clear to the king, and that you may have knowledge of the thoughts of your heart.

bbe@Daniel:2:35 @Then the iron and the earth, the brass and the silver and the gold, were smashed together, and became like the dust on the floors where grain is crushed in summer; and the wind took them away so that no sign of them was to be seen: and the stone which gave the image a blow became a great mountain, covering all the earth.

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:2:45 @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:3:12 @There are certain Jews whom you have put over the business of the land of Babylon, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego; these men have not given attention to you, O King: they are not servants of your gods or worshippers of the gold image which you have put up.

bbe@Daniel:3:16 @Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego, answering Nebuchadnezzar the king, said, There is no need for us to give you an answer to this question.

bbe@Daniel:3:17 @If our God, whose servants we are, is able to keep us safe from the burning and flaming fire, and from your hands, O King, he will keep us safe.

bbe@Daniel:3:21 @Then these men had cords put round them as they were, in their coats, their trousers, their hats, and their clothing, and were dropped into the burning and flaming fire.

bbe@Daniel:3:22 @And because the king's order was not to be put on one side, and the heat of the fire was so great, the men who took up Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego were burned to death by the flame of the fire.

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:4:4 @I, Nebuchadnezzar, was at rest in my place, and all things were going well for me in my great house:

bbe@Daniel:4:5 @I saw a dream which was a cause of great fear to me; I was troubled by the images of my mind on my bed, and by the visions of my head.

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:4:9 @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:4:27 @For this cause, O King, let my suggestion be pleasing to you, and let your sins be covered by righteousness and your evil-doing by mercy to the poor, so that the time of your well-being may be longer.

bbe@Daniel:4:29 @At the end of twelve months he was walking on the roof of his great house in Babylon.

bbe@Daniel:5:1 @Belshazzar the king made a great feast for a thousand of his lords, drinking wine before the thousand.

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:5:3 @Then they took in the gold and silver vessels which had been in the Temple of the house of God at Jerusalem; and the king and his lords, his wives and his other women, took wine 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:5:10 @The queen, because of the words of the king and his lords, came into the house of the feast: the queen made answer and said, O King, have life for ever; do not be troubled by your thoughts or let the colour go from your face:

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:5:15 @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:5:19 @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:5:23 @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:5:31 @And Darius the Mede took the kingdom, being then about sixty-two years old.

bbe@Daniel:6:1 @Darius was pleased to put over the kingdom a hundred and twenty captains, who were to be all through 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:6:6 @Then these chief rulers and the captains came to the king and said to him, O King Darius, have life for ever.

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:6:18 @Then the king went to his great house, and took no food that night, and no... were placed before him, and his sleep went from him.

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:6:25 @Then King Darius sent a letter to all the peoples, nations, and languages, living in all the earth: May your peace be increased.

bbe@Daniel:6:28 @So this Daniel did well in the kingdom of Darius and in the kingdom of Cyrus the Persian.

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:7:10 @A stream of fire was flowing and coming out from before him: a thousand thousands were his servants, and ten thousand times ten thousand were in their places before him: the judge was seated and the books were open.

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:7:15 @As for me, Daniel, my spirit was pained because of this, and the visions of my head were troubling me.

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:7:20 @And about the ten horns on his head and the other which came up, causing the fall of three; that horn which had eyes, and a mouth saying great things, which seemed to be greater than the other horns.

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: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:8:4 @I saw the sheep pushing to the west and to the north and to the south; and no beasts were able to keep their place before him, and no one was able to get people out of his power; but he did whatever his pleasure was and made himself great.

bbe@Daniel:8:6 @And he came to the two-horned sheep which I saw before the stream, rushing at him in the heat of his power.

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:8:10 @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:8:12 @... against the regular burned offering; and... crushed down to the earth, and it did its pleasure and things went well for it.

bbe@Daniel:8:13 @Then there came to my ears the voice of a holy one talking; and another holy one said to that certain one who was talking, How long will the vision be while the regular burned offering is taken away, and the unclean thing causing fear is put up, and the holy place crushed under foot?

bbe@Daniel:8:14 @And he said to him, For two thousand, three hundred evenings and mornings; then the holy place will be made clean.

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:8:27 @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:9:1 @In the first year of Darius, the son of Ahasuerus, of the seed of the Medes, who was made king over the kingdom of the Chaldaeans;

bbe@Daniel:9:2 @In the first year of his rule, I, Daniel, saw clearly from the books the number of years given by the word of the Lord to the prophet Jeremiah, in which the making waste of Jerusalem was to be complete, that is, seventy years.

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:9:7 @O Lord, righteousness is yours, but shame is on us, even to this day; and on the men of Judah and the people of Jerusalem, and on all Israel, those who are near and those who are far off, in all the countries where you have sent them because of the sin which they have done against you.

bbe@Daniel:9:8 @O Lord, shame is on us, on our kings and our rulers and our fathers, because of our sin against you.

bbe@Daniel:9:10 @And have not given ear to the voice of the Lord our God to go in the way of his laws which he put before us by the mouth of his servants the prophets.

bbe@Daniel:9:11 @And all Israel have been sinners against your law, turning away so as not to give ear to your voice: and the curse has been let loose on us, and the oath recorded in the law of Moses, the servant of God, for we have done evil against him.

bbe@Daniel:9:12 @And he has given effect to his words which he said against us and against those who were our judges, by sending a great evil on us: for under all heaven there has not been done what has been done to Jerusalem.

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:9:16 @O Lord, because of your righteousness, let your wrath and your passion be turned away from your town Jerusalem, your holy mountain: because, through our sins and the evil-doing of our fathers, Jerusalem and your people have become a cause of shame to all who are round about us.

bbe@Daniel:9:17 @And now, give ear, O our God, to the prayer of your servant and to his request for grace, and let your face be shining on your holy place which is made waste, because of your servants, O Lord.

bbe@Daniel:9:18 @O my God, let your ear be turned and give hearing; let your eyes be open and see how we have been made waste and the town which is named by your name: for we are not offering our prayers before you because of our righteousness, but because of your great mercies.

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:9:27 @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:10:12 @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:10:16 @Then one whose form was like the sons of men put his finger on my lips; and opening my mouth, I said to him who was before me, O my lord, because of the vision my pains have come on me, and I have no more strength.

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:11:6 @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:11:12 @And the army will be taken away, and his heart will be uplifted: he will be the cause of the downfall of tens of thousands, but he will not be strong.

bbe@Daniel:11:19 @Then his face will be turned to the strong places of his land: but his way will be stopped, causing his downfall, and he will not be seen again.

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:11:26 @And his fears will overcome him and be the cause of his downfall, and his army will come to complete destruction, and a great number will be put to the sword.

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:11:39 @And he will make use of the people of a strange god to keep his strongest places; to those whom he takes note of he will give high honour: and he will make them rulers over the mass of the people, and will make division of the land for a price.

bbe@Daniel:11:41 @And he will come into the beautiful land, and tens of thousands will be overcome: but these will be kept from falling into his hands: Edom and Moab and the chief of the children of Ammon.

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:12:2 @And a number of those who are sleeping in the dust of the earth will come out of their sleep, some to eternal life and some to eternal shame.

bbe@Daniel:12:3 @And those who are wise will be shining like the light of the outstretched sky; and those by whom numbers have been turned to righteousness will be like the stars for ever and ever.

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:12:11 @And from the time when the regular burned offering is taken away, and an unclean thing causing fear is put up, there will be a thousand, two hundred and ninety days.

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: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:2:3 @For fear that I may take away her robe from her, making her uncovered as in the day of her birth; making her like a waste place and a dry land, causing her death through need of water.

bbe@Hosea:2:6 @For this cause I will put thorns in her road, building up a wall round her so that she may not go on her way.

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:2:14 @For this cause I will make her come into the waste land and will say words of comfort to her.

bbe@Hosea:2:19 @And I will take you as my bride for ever; truly, I will take you as my bride in righteousness and in right judging, in love and in mercies.

bbe@Hosea:3:1 @And the Lord said to me, Give your love again to a woman who has a lover and is false to her husband, even as the Lord has love for the children of Israel, though they are turned to other gods and are lovers of grape-cakes.

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:4:6 @Destruction has overtaken my people because they have no knowledge; because you have given up knowledge, I will give you up, so that you will be no priest to me, because you have not kept in mind the law of your God, I will not keep your children in my memory.

bbe@Hosea:4:10 @They will have food, but they will not be full; they will be false to me, but they will not be increased, because they no longer give thought to the Lord

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:4:13 @They make offerings on the tops of mountains, burning perfumes in high places, under trees of every sort, because their shade is good: and so your daughters are given up to loose ways and your brides are false to their husbands.

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:4:19 @They are folded in the skirts of the wind; they will be shamed because of their offerings.

bbe@Hosea:5:11 @Ephraim is troubled; he is crushed by his judges, because he took pleasure in walking after deceit.

bbe@Hosea:6:1 @Come, let us go back to the Lord; for he has given us wounds and he will make us well; he has given blows and he will give help.

bbe@Hosea:6:2 @After two days he will give us life, and on the third day he will make us get up, and we will be living before him.

bbe@Hosea:6:3 @And let us have knowledge, let us go after the knowledge of the Lord; his going out is certain as the dawn, his decisions go out like the light; he will come to us like the rain, like the spring rain watering the earth.

bbe@Hosea:6:6 @Because my desire is for mercy and not offerings; for the knowledge of God more than for burned offerings.

bbe@Hosea:6:11 @And Judah has put up disgusting images for himself.

bbe@Hosea:7:1 @When my desire was for the fate of my people to be changed and to make Israel well, then the sin of Ephraim was made clear, and the evil-doing of Samaria; for their ways are false, and the thief comes into the house, while the band of outlaws takes property by force in the streets.

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:8:1 @Put the horn to your mouth. He comes like an eagle against the house of the Lord; because they have gone against my agreement, they have not kept my law.

bbe@Hosea:8:11 @Because Ephraim has been increasing altars for sin, altars have become a cause of sin to him.

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:8:14 @For Israel has no memory of his Maker, and has put up the houses of kings; and Judah has made great the number of his walled towns. But I will send a fire on his towns and put an end to his great houses.

bbe@Hosea:9:2 @The grain-floor and the place where the grapes are crushed will not give them food; there will be no new wine for them.

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:9:7 @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:9:8 @There is great hate against the watchman of Ephraim, the people of my God; as for the prophet, there is a net in all his ways, and hate in the house of his God.

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:9:12 @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:9:15 @All their evil-doing is in Gilgal; there I had hate for them; because of their evil-doing I will send them out of my house; they will no longer be dear to me; all their rulers are uncontrolled.

bbe@Hosea:9:17 @My God will give them up because they did not give ear to him; they will be wandering among the nations.

bbe@Hosea:10:3 @Now, truly, they will say, We have no king, we have no fear of the Lord; and the king, what is he able to do for us?

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:10:8 @And the high places of Aven, the sin of Israel, will come to destruction; thorns and waste plants will come up on their altars; they will say to the mountains, Be a cover over us; and to the hills, Come down on us.

bbe@Hosea:10:11 @And Ephraim is a trained cow, taking pleasure in crushing the grain; but I have put a yoke on her fair neck; I will put a horseman on the back of Ephraim; Judah will be working the plough, Jacob will be turning up the earth.

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:10:15 @So will Beth-el do to you because of your evil-doing; at dawn will the king of Israel be cut off completely.

bbe@Hosea:11:3 @But I was guiding Ephraim's footsteps; I took them up in my arms, but they were not conscious that I was ready to make them well.

bbe@Hosea:11:5 @He will go back to the land of Egypt and the Assyrian will be his king, because they would not come back to me.

bbe@Hosea:11:6 @And the sword will go through his towns, wasting his children and causing destruction because of their evil designs.

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:12:2 @The Lord has a cause against Judah, and will give punishment to Jacob for his ways; he will give him the reward of his acts.

bbe@Hosea:12:10 @My word came to the ears of the prophets and I gave them visions in great number, and by the mouths of the prophets I made use of comparisons.

bbe@Hosea:13:3 @So they will be like the morning cloud, like the dew which goes early away, like the dust of the grain which the wind is driving out of the crushing-floor, like smoke going up from the fireplace.

bbe@Hosea:13:10 @Where is your king, that he may be your saviour? and all your rulers, that they may take up your cause? of whom you said, Give me a king and rulers.

bbe@Hosea:13:11 @I have given you a king, because I was angry, and have taken him away in my wrath.

bbe@Hosea:14:1 @O Israel, come back to the Lord your God; for your evil-doing has been the cause of your fall.

bbe@Joel:1:4 @What the worm did not make a meal of, has been taken by the locust; and what the locust did not take, has been food for the plant-worm; and what the plant-worm did not take, has been food for the field-fly.

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:1:8 @Make sounds of grief like a virgin dressed in haircloth for the husband of her early years.

bbe@Joel:1:9 @The meal offering and the drink offering have been cut off from the house of the Lord; the priests, the Lord's servants, are sorrowing.

bbe@Joel:1:12 @The vine has become dry and the fig-tree is feeble; the pomegranate and the palm-tree and the apple-tree, even all the trees of the field, are dry: because joy has gone from the sons of men.

bbe@Joel:1:13 @Put haircloth round you and give yourselves to sorrow, you priests; give cries of grief, you servants of the altar: come in, and, clothed in haircloth, let the night go past, you servants of my God: for the meal offering and the drink offering have been kept back from the house of your God.

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:1:16 @Is not food cut off before our eyes? joy and delight from the house of our God?

bbe@Joel:1:17 @The grains have become small and dry under the spade; the store-houses are made waste, the grain-stores are broken down; for the grain is dry and dead.

bbe@Joel:1:18 @What sounds of pain come from the beasts! the herds of cattle are at a loss because there is no grass for them; even the flocks of sheep are no longer to be seen.

bbe@Joel:2:8 @No one is pushing against another; everyone goes straight on his way: bursting through the sword points, their order is not broken.

bbe@Joel:2:9 @They make a rush on the town, running on the wall; they go up into the houses and in through the windows like a thief.

bbe@Joel:2:24 @And the floors will be full of grain, and the crushing-places overflowing with wine and oil.

bbe@Joel:2:25 @I will give back to you the years which were food for the locust, the plant-worm, the field-fly, and the worm, my great army which I sent among you.

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:3:1 @For in those days and in that time, when I let the fate of Judah and Jerusalem be changed,

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:3:5 @For you have taken my silver and my gold, putting in the houses of your gods my beautiful and pleasing things.

bbe@Joel:3:6 @And the children of Judah and the children of Jerusalem you have given for a price to the sons of the Greeks, to send them far away from their land:

bbe@Joel:3:13 @Put in the blade, for the grain is ready: come, get you down, for the wine-crusher is full, the vessels are overflowing; for great is their evil-doing.

bbe@Joel:3:16 @And the Lord will be thundering from Zion, and his voice will be sounding from Jerusalem; and the heavens and the earth will be shaking: but the Lord will be a breastplate for his people and a strong place for the children of Israel.

bbe@Joel:3:17 @And you will be certain that I am the Lord your God, living in Zion, my holy mountain: and Jerusalem will be holy, and no strange person will ever again go through her.

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@Joel:3:20 @But Judah will be peopled for ever, and Jerusalem from generation to generation.

bbe@Amos:1:2 @And he said, The Lord will give a lion's cry from Zion, his voice will be sounding from Jerusalem; and the fields of the keepers of sheep will become dry, and the top of Carmel will be wasted away.

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:1:4 @And I will send a fire into the house of Hazael, burning up the great houses of Ben-hadad.

bbe@Amos:1:5 @And I will have the locks of the door of Damascus broken, and him who is seated in power cut off from the valley of Aven, and him in whose hand is the rod from the house of Eden; and the people of Aram will go away as prisoners into Kir, says the Lord.

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:1:12 @And I will send a fire on Teman, burning up the great houses of Bozrah.

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:2:4 @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:2:5 @And I will send a fire on Judah, burning up the great houses of Jerusalem.

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:2:7 @Crushing the head of the poor, and turning the steps of the gentle out of the way: and a man and his father go in to the same young woman, putting shame on my holy name:

bbe@Amos:2:8 @By every altar they are stretched on clothing taken from those who are in their debt, drinking in the house of their god the wine of those who have made payment for wrongdoing.

bbe@Amos:2:13 @See, I am crushing you down, as one is crushed under a cart full of grain.

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:3:10 @For they have no knowledge of how to do what is right, says the Lord, who are storing up violent acts and destruction in their great houses

bbe@Amos:3:11 @For this reason, says the Lord, an attacker will come, shutting in the land on every side; and your strength will come down and your great houses will be made waste.

bbe@Amos:3:12 @These are the words of the Lord: As the keeper of sheep takes out of the mouth of the lion two legs or part of an ear; so will the children of Israel be made safe, who are resting in Samaria on seats of honour or on the silk cushions of a bed.

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:4:1 @Give ear to this word, you cows of Bashan, who are in the hill of Samaria, by whom the poor are kept down, and those in need are crushed; who say to their lords, Get out the wine and give us drink.

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:5:3 @For these are the words of the Lord God: The town which was able to send out a thousand, will have only a hundred; and that which sent out a hundred, will have only ten, in 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:5:10 @They have hate for him who makes protest against evil in the public place, and he whose words are upright is disgusting to them.

bbe@Amos:5:11 @So because the poor man is crushed under your feet, and you take taxes from him of grain: you have made for yourselves houses of cut stone, but you will not take your rest in them; the fair vine-gardens planted by your hands will not give you wine.

bbe@Amos:5:12 @For I have seen how your evil-doing is increased and how strong are your sins, you troublers of the upright, who take rewards and do wrong to the cause of the poor in the public place

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:5:21 @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:5:24 @But let the right go rolling on like waters, and righteousness like an ever-flowing stream.

bbe@Amos:5:27 @And I will send you away as prisoners farther than Damascus, says the Lord, whose name is the God of armies.

bbe@Amos:6:3 @You who put far away the evil day, causing the rule of the violent to come near;

bbe@Amos:6:4 @Who are resting on beds of ivory, stretched out on soft seats, feasting on lambs from the flock and young oxen from the cattle-house;

bbe@Amos:6:5 @Making foolish songs to the sound of corded instruments, and designing for themselves instruments of music, like David;

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:7:13 @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:8:3 @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:8:4 @Give ear to this, you who are crushing the poor, and whose purpose is to put an end to those who are in need in the land,

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: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:9:13 @See, the days will come, says the Lord, when the ploughman will overtake him who is cutting the grain, and the crusher of the grapes him who is planting seed; and sweet wine will be dropping from the mountains, and the hills will be turned into streams of wine.

bbe@Obadiah:1:1 @The vision of Obadiah. This is what the Lord has said about Edom: We have had word from the Lord, and a representative has been sent among the nations, saying, Up! and let us make war against her.

bbe@Obadiah:1:3 @You have been tricked by the pride of your heart, O you whose living-place is in the cracks of the rock, whose house is high up; who has said in his heart, Who will make me come down to earth?

bbe@Obadiah:1:4 @Though you go up on high like an eagle, though your house is placed among the stars, I will make you come down from there, says the Lord.

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:1:11 @Because you were there watching when men from other lands took away his goods, and strange men came into his doors, and put the fate of Jerusalem to the decision of chance; you were like one of them.

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:1:6 @And the ship's captain came to him and said to him, What are you doing sleeping? Up! say a prayer to your God, if by chance God will give a thought to us, so that we may not come to destruction.

bbe@Jonah:1:7 @And they said to one another, Come, let us put this to the decision of chance and see on whose account this evil has come on us. So they did so, and Jonah was seen to be the man.

bbe@Jonah:1:8 @Then they said to him, Now make clear to us what is your work, and where you come from? what is your country, and who are your people?

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:1:11 @And they said to him, What are we to do to you so that the sea may become calm for us? For the sea was getting rougher and rougher.

bbe@Jonah:1:12 @And he said to them, Take me up and put me into the sea, and the sea will become calm for you: for I am certain that because of me this great storm has come on you.

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: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:3:9 @Who may say that God will not be turned, changing his purpose and turning away from his burning wrath, so that destruction may not overtake us?

bbe@Jonah:4:6 @And the Lord God made a vine come up over Jonah to give him shade over his head. And Jonah was very glad because of the vine.

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:1:5 @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:1:9 @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:1:12 @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:1:13 @Let the war-carriage be yoked to the quick-running horse, you who are living in Lachish: she was the first cause of sin to the daughter of Zion; for the wrongdoings of Israel were seen in you.

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: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:2:5 @For this cause you will have no one to make the decision by the measuring line in the meeting of the Lord.

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:3:3 @Like meat they take the flesh of my people for their food, skinning them and crushing their bones, yes, cutting them up as if for the pot, like flesh inside the cooking-pot.

bbe@Micah:3:4 @Then they will be crying to the Lord for help, but he will not give them an answer: yes, he will keep his face veiled from them at that time, because their acts have been evil.

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:3:10 @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:3:12 @For this reason, Zion will be ploughed like a field because of you, and Jerusalem will become a mass of broken walls, and the mountain of the house like a high place in the woods.

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:4:2 @And a number of nations will go and say, Come, and let us go up to the mountain of the Lord, and to the house of the God of Jacob; and he will give us knowledge of his ways and we will be guided by his word: for from Zion the law will go out, and the word of the Lord from Jerusalem.

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:4:8 @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:4:12 @But they have no knowledge of the thoughts of the Lord, their minds are not able to see his purpose: for he has got them together like stems of grain to the crushing-floor.

bbe@Micah:4:13 @Up! and let the grain be crushed, O daughter of Zion, for I will make your horn iron and your feet brass, and a number of peoples will be broken by you, and you will give up their increase to the Lord and their wealth to the Lord of all the earth.

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:5:8 @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:5:12 @I will put an end to your use of secret arts, and you will have no more readers of signs:

bbe@Micah:6:1 @Give ear now to the words of the Lord: Up! put forward your cause before the mountains, let your voice be sounding among the hills.

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:6:4 @For I took you up out of the land of Egypt and made you free from the prison-house; I sent before you Moses, Aaron, and Miriam.

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:6:13 @So I have made a start with your punishment; I have made you waste because of your sins.

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:6:16 @For you have kept the laws of Omri and all the works of the family of Ahab, and you have been guided by their designs: so that I might make you a cause of wonder and your people a cause of hisses; and the shame of my people will be on you.

bbe@Micah:7:8 @Do not be glad because of my sorrow, O my hater: after my fall I will be lifted up; when I am seated in the dark, the Lord will be a light to me.

bbe@Micah:7:9 @I will undergo the wrath of the Lord, because of my sin against him; till he takes up my cause and does what is right for me: when he makes me come out into the light, I will see his righteousness;

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:7:13 @But the land will become a waste because of its people, as the fruit of their works.

bbe@Micah:7:15 @As in the days when you came out from the land of Egypt, let us see things of wonder.

bbe@Micah:7:16 @The nations will see and be shamed because of all their strength; they will put their hands on their mouths, their ears will be stopped

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@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:1:5 @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:1:12 @This is what the Lord has said: The days of my cause against you are ended; they are cut off and past. Though I have sent trouble on you, you will no longer be troubled.

bbe@Nahum:1:14 @The Lord has given an order about you, that no more of your name are to be planted: from the house of your gods I will have the pictured and metal images cut off; I will make your last resting-place a place of shame; for you are completely evil.

bbe@Nahum:2:1 @A crusher has come up before your face: keep a good look-out, let the way be watched, make yourself strong, let your power be greatly increased.

bbe@Nahum:2:4 @The war-carriages are rushing through the streets, pushing against one another in the wide ways, looking like burning lights, running like thunder-flames.

bbe@Nahum:2:6 @The river doorways are forced open, and the king's house is flowing away.

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:3:2 @The noise of the whip, and the noise of thundering wheels; horses rushing and war-carriages jumping,

bbe@Nahum:3:4 @Because of all the false ways of the loose woman, expert in attraction and wise in secret arts, who takes nations in the net of her false ways, and families through her secret arts.

bbe@Nahum:3:6 @I will make you completely disgusting and full of shame, and will put you up to be looked at by all.

bbe@Nahum:3:15 @There the fire will make you waste; you will be cut off by the sword: make yourself as great in number as the worms, as great in number as the locusts.

bbe@Nahum:3:17 @Your crowned ones are like the locusts, and your scribes like the clouds of insects which take cover in the walls on a cold day, but when the sun comes up they go in flight, and are seen no longer in their place.

bbe@Habakkuk:1:4 @For this reason the law is feeble and decisions are not effected: for the upright man is circled round by evil-doers; because of which right is twisted.

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:1:12 @Are you not eternal, O Lord my God, my Holy One? for you there is no death. O Lord, he has been ordered by you for our punishment; and by you, O Rock, he has been marked out to put us right.

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:1:16 @For this reason he makes an offering to his net, burning perfume to his fishing-net; because by them he gets much food and his meat is fat.

bbe@Habakkuk:1:17 @For this cause his net is ever open, and there is no end to his destruction of the nations.

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:2:8 @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:2:10 @You have been a cause of shame to your house by cutting off a number of peoples, and sinning against your soul.

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:2:17 @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:3:7 @The curtains of Cushan were troubled, and the tents of Midian were shaking.

bbe@Habakkuk:3:12 @You went stepping through the land in wrath, crushing the nations in your passion.

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@Habakkuk:3:19 @The Lord God is my strength, and he makes my feet like roes' feet, guiding me on my high places. For the chief music-maker on corded instruments.

bbe@Zephaniah:1:1 @The word of the Lord which came to Zephaniah, the son of Cushi, the son of Gedaliah, the son of Amariah, the son of Hezekiah, in the days of Josiah, the son of Amon, king of Judah.

bbe@Zephaniah:1:3 @I will take away man and beast; I will take away the birds of the heaven and the fishes of the sea; causing the downfall of the evil-doers, and cutting man off from the face of the earth, says the Lord.

bbe@Zephaniah:1:4 @And my hand will be stretched out on Judah and on all the people of Jerusalem, cutting off the name of the Baal from this place, and the name of the false priests,

bbe@Zephaniah:1:5 @And the worshippers of the army of heaven on the house-tops, and the Lord's worshippers who take oaths by Milcom,

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:1:13 @And their wealth will be violently taken away, and their houses will be made waste: they will go on building houses and never living in them, and planting vine-gardens but not drinking the wine from them.

bbe@Zephaniah:1:17 @And I will send trouble on men so that they will go about like the blind, because they have done evil against the Lord: and their blood will be drained out like dust, and their strength like waste.

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:2:6 @And the land by the sea will be grass-land, with houses for keepers of sheep and walled places for flocks.

bbe@Zephaniah:2:7 @The land by the sea will be for the rest of the children of Judah; by the sea they will give their flocks food: in the houses of Ashkelon they will take their rest in the evening; for the Lord their God will take them in hand and their fate will be changed.

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:2:10 @This will be their fate because of their pride, because they have said evil, lifting themselves up against the people of the Lord of armies.

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:3:3 @Her rulers are like loud-voiced lions in her; her judges are wolves of the evening, crushing up the bones before the morning.

bbe@Zephaniah:3:5 @The Lord in her is upright; he will not do evil; every morning he lets his righteousness be seen, he is unchanging; but the evil-doer has no sense of shame.

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:3:14 @Make melody, O daughter of Zion; give a loud cry, O Israel; be glad and let your heart be full of joy, O daughter of Jerusalem.

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:3:19 @See, at that time I will put an end to all who have been troubling you: I will give salvation to her whose steps are uncertain, and get together her who has been sent in flight; and I will make them a cause of praise and an honoured name in all the earth, when I let their fate be changed.

bbe@Haggai:1:1 @In the second year of Darius the king, in the sixth month, on the first day of the month, came the word of the Lord by Haggai the prophet to Zerubbabel, the son of Shealtiel, ruler of Judah, and to Joshua, the son of Jehozadak, the high priest, saying,

bbe@Haggai:1:2 @These are the words of the Lord of armies: These people say, The time has not come for building the Lord's house.

bbe@Haggai:1:4 @Is it a time for you to be living in roofed houses while this house is a waste?

bbe@Haggai:1:5 @For this cause the Lord of armies has said, Give thought to your ways.

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:1:12 @Then Zerubbabel, the son of Shealtiel, and Joshua, the son of Jehozadak, the high priest, and all the rest of the people, gave ear to the voice of the Lord their God and to the words of Haggai the prophet, because the Lord their God had sent him, and the people were in fear before 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:1:15 @On the twenty-fourth day of the month, in the sixth month, in the second year of Darius the king.

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:2:7 @And I will make a shaking of all the nations, and the desired things of all nations will come: and I will make this house full of my glory, says the Lord of armies.

bbe@Haggai:2:9 @The second glory of this house will be greater than the first, says the Lord of armies: and in this place I will give peace, says the Lord of armies.

bbe@Haggai:2:10 @On the twenty-fourth day of the ninth month, in the second year of Darius, the word of the Lord came by Haggai the prophet, saying,

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@Zechariah:1:1 @In the eighth month, in the second year of Darius, the word of the Lord came to Zechariah, the son of Berechiah, the son of Iddo the prophet, saying,

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:1:7 @On the twenty-fourth day of the eleventh month, the month Shebat, in the second year of Darius, the word of the Lord came to Zechariah, the son of Berechiah, the son of Iddo the prophet, saying,

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:1:14 @And the angel who was talking to me said to me, Let your voice be loud and say, These are the words of the Lord of armies: I am greatly moved about the fate of Jerusalem and of Zion.

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:1:19 @And I said to the angel who was talking to me, What are these? And he said to me, These are the horns which have sent Judah, Israel, and Jerusalem in flight.

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:2:4 @Said to him, Go quickly and say to this young man, Jerusalem will be an unwalled town, because of the great number of men and cattle in her.

bbe@Zechariah:2:12 @And Judah will be the Lord's heritage in the holy land, and Jerusalem will again be his.

bbe@Zechariah:3:1 @And he let me see Joshua, the high priest, in his place before the angel of the Lord, and the Satan at his right hand ready to take up a cause against him.

bbe@Zechariah:3:2 @And the Lord said to the Satan, May the Lord's word be sharp against you, O Satan, the word of the Lord who has taken Jerusalem for himself: is this not a burning branch pulled out of the fire?

bbe@Zechariah:3:7 @These are the words of the Lord of armies: If you will go in my ways and keep what I have put in your care, then you will be judge over my Temple and have the care of my house, and I will give you the right to come in among those who are there.

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:5:4 @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:5:8 @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:5:11 @And he said to me, To make a house for her in the land of Shinar: and they will make a place ready, and put her there in the place which is hers.

bbe@Zechariah:6:14 @And the crown will be for grace to Heldai and Tobijah and Jedaiah and the son of Zephaniah, to keep their memory living in the house of the Lord

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:7:3 @And to say to the priests of the house of the Lord of armies and to the prophets, Am I to go on weeping in the fifth month, separating myself as I have done in past years?

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:7:7 @Are not these the words which the Lord said to you by the earlier prophets, when Jerusalem was full of people and wealth, and the towns round about her and the South and the Lowland were peopled?

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:8:8 @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:8:9 @This is what the Lord of armies has said: Let your hands be strong, you who are now hearing these words from the mouths of the prophets, that is to say, in the days when the base of the house of the Lord of armies has been put in place for the building of the house, that is the Temple.

bbe@Zechariah:8:10 @For before those days there was no payment for a man's work, or for the use of a beast, and there was no peace for him who went out or him who came in, because of the attacker: for I had every man turned against his neighbour.

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:8:21 @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:8:22 @And great peoples and strong nations will come to give worship to the Lord of armies in Jerusalem and to make requests for grace from the Lord.

bbe@Zechariah:9:1 @A word of the Lord: The Lord has come to the land of Hadrach, and Damascus is his resting-place: for the towns of Aram are the Lord's,

bbe@Zechariah:9:2 @As well as Hamath, which is by its limit, and Tyre and Zidon, because they are very wise.

bbe@Zechariah:9:3 @And Tyre made for herself a strong place, and got together silver like dust and the best gold like the earth of the streets.

bbe@Zechariah:9:7 @And I will take away his blood from his mouth, and his disgusting things from between his teeth; and some of his people will be kept for our God: and he will be as a family in Judah, and Ekron as one living in Jerusalem.

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:9:9 @Be full of joy, O daughter of Zion; give a glad cry, O daughter of Jerusalem: see, your king comes to you: he is upright and has overcome; gentle and seated on an ass, on a young ass.

bbe@Zechariah:9:10 @And he will have the war-carriage cut off from Ephraim, and the horse from Jerusalem, and the bow of war will be cut off: and he will say words of peace to the nations: and his rule will be from sea to sea, and from the River to the ends of the earth.

bbe@Zechariah:9:11 @And as for you, because of the blood of your agreement, I have sent out your prisoners from the deep hole in which there is no water.

bbe@Zechariah:9:13 @For I have made Judah a bow bent for my use, I have made Ephraim the arrows of the bow; I will make your sons, O Zion, take up arms against your sons, O Greece, and will make you like the sword of a man of war.

bbe@Zechariah:9:15 @The Lord of armies will be a cover for them; and they will overcome, crushing under foot the armed men; they will take their blood for drink like wine: they will be full like the sides of the altar.

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:11:2 @Give a cry of grief, O fir-tree, for the fall of the cedar, because the great ones have been made low: give cries of grief, O you oaks of Bashan, for the strong trees of the wood have come down.

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:11:13 @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:12:2 @See, I will make Jerusalem a cup of shaking fear to all the peoples round about, when Jerusalem is shut in.

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:12:5 @And the families of Judah will say in their hearts, The people of Jerusalem have their strength in the Lord of armies, their God.

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:12:7 @And the Lord will give salvation to the tents of Judah first, so that the glory of the family of David and the glory of the people of Jerusalem may not be greater than that of Judah.

bbe@Zechariah:12:8 @In that day the Lord will be a cover over the people of Jerusalem; and he who is feeble among them in that day will be as strong as David, and the family of David will be as God, as the angel of the Lord before them.

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:12:11 @In that day there will be a great weeping in Jerusalem, like the weeping of Hadad-rimmon in the valley of Megiddon.

bbe@Zechariah:13:1 @In that day there will be a fountain open to the family of David and to the people of Jerusalem, for sin and for that which is unclean.

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:14:2 @For I will get all the nations together to make war against Jerusalem; and the town will be overcome, and the goods taken from the houses, and the women taken by force: and half the town will go away as prisoners, and the rest of the people will not be cut off from the town.

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:14:8 @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:14:10 @And all the land will become like the Arabah, from Geba to Rimmon south of Jerusalem; and she will be lifted up and be living in her place; from the doorway of Benjamin to the place of the first doorway, to the doorway of the angle, and from the tower of Hananel to the king's wine-crushing places, men will be living in her.

bbe@Zechariah:14:11 @And there will be no more curse; but Jerusalem will be living without fear of danger.

bbe@Zechariah:14:12 @And this will be the disease which the Lord will send on all the peoples which have been warring against Jerusalem: their flesh will be wasted away while they are on their feet, their eyes will be wasted in their heads and their tongues in their mouths.

bbe@Zechariah:14:14 @And even Judah will be fighting against Jerusalem; and the wealth of all the nations round about will be massed together, a great store of gold and silver and clothing.

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@Zechariah:14:20 @On that day all the bells of the horses will be holy to the Lord, and the pots in the Lord's house will be like the basins before the altar.

bbe@Zechariah:14:21 @And every pot in Jerusalem and in Judah will be holy to the Lord of armies: and all those who make offerings will come and take them for boiling their offerings: in that day there will be no more traders in the house of the Lord of armies.

bbe@Malachi:1:2 @You have been loved by me, says the Lord. But you say, Where was your love for us? Was not Esau Jacob's brother? says the Lord: but Jacob was loved by me,

bbe@Malachi:1:4 @Though Edom says, We are crushed down but we will come back, building up the waste places; this is what the Lord of armies has said: They may put up buildings, but I will have them pulled down; and they will be named The land of evil-doing, and The people against whom the Lord keeps his wrath for ever.

bbe@Malachi:1:9 @And now, make request for the grace of God so that he may have mercy on us: this has been your doing: will he give his approval to any of you? says the Lord of armies.

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:2:6 @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:2:9 @And so I have taken away your honour and made you low before all the people, even as you have not kept my ways, and have given no thought to me in using the law.

bbe@Malachi:2:10 @Have we not all one father? has not one God made us? why are we, every one of us, acting falsely to his brother, putting shame on the agreement of our fathers?

bbe@Malachi:2:11 @Judah has been acting falsely, and a disgusting thing has been done in Jerusalem; for Judah has made unclean the holy place of the Lord which is dear to him, and has taken as his wife the daughter of a strange god.

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:3:3 @He will take his seat, testing and cleaning the sons of Levi, burning away the evil from them as from gold and silver; so that they may make offerings to the Lord in righteousness.

bbe@Malachi:3:4 @Then the offering of Judah and Jerusalem will be pleasing to the Lord, as in days gone by, and as in past years.

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:3:15 @And now to us the men of pride seem happy; yes, the evil-doers are doing well; they put God to the test and are safe.

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@Malachi:4:3 @And the evil-doers will be crushed under you, they will be dust under your feet, in the day when I do my work, says the Lord of armies.

bbe@Matthew:1:1 @The book of the generations of Jesus Christ, the son of David, the son of Abraham.

bbe@Matthew:1:16 @And the son of Jacob was Joseph the husband of Mary, who gave birth to Jesus, whose name is Christ.

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:1:19 @And Joseph, her husband, being an upright man, and not desiring to make her a public example, had a mind to put her away privately.

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:1:21 @And she will give birth to a son; and you will give him the name Jesus; for he will give his people salvation from their sins.

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:2:1 @Now when the birth of Jesus took place in Beth-lehem of Judaea, in the days of Herod the king, there came wise men from the east to Jerusalem,

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:2:11 @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:2:20 @Saying, Get up and take the young child and his mother, and go into the land of Israel: because they who were attempting to take the young child's life are dead.

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:3:5 @Then Jerusalem and all Judaea went out to him, and all the people from near Jordan;

bbe@Matthew:3:9 @And say not to yourselves, We have Abraham for our father; because I say to you that God is able from these stones to make children for Abraham.

bbe@Matthew:3:13 @Then Jesus came from Galilee to John at the Jordan, to be given baptism by him.

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:4:1 @Then Jesus was sent by the Spirit into the waste land to be tested by the Evil One.

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:4:17 @From that time Jesus went about preaching and saying, Let your hearts be turned from sin, for the kingdom of heaven is near.

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:4:25 @And there went after him great numbers from Galilee and Decapolis and Jerusalem and Judaea and from the other side of Jordan.

bbe@Matthew:5:6 @Happy are those whose heart's desire is for righteousness: for they will have their desire.

bbe@Matthew:5:10 @Happy are those who are attacked on account of righteousness: for the kingdom of heaven will be theirs.

bbe@Matthew:5:11 @Happy are you when men give you a bad name, and are cruel to you, and say all evil things against you falsely, because of me.

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:5:20 @For I say to you, If your righteousness is not greater than the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, you will never go into the kingdom of heaven.

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:5:29 @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:5:32 @But I say to you that everyone who puts away his wife for any other cause but the loss of her virtue, makes her false to her husband; and whoever takes her as his wife after she is put away, is no true husband to her.

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:5:39 @But I say to you, Do not make use of force against an evil man; but to him who gives you a blow on the right side of your face let the left be turned.

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:5:48 @Be then complete in righteousness, even as your Father in heaven is complete.

bbe@Matthew:6:7 @And in your prayer do not make use of the same words again and again, as the Gentiles do: for they have the idea that God will give attention to them because of the number of their words.

bbe@Matthew:6:8 @So be not like them; because your Father has knowledge of your needs even before you make your requests to him.

bbe@Matthew:6:11 @Give us this day bread for our needs.

bbe@Matthew:6:12 @And make us free of our debts, as we have made those free who are in debt to us.

bbe@Matthew:6:13 @And let us not be put to the test, but keep us safe from the Evil One.

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:6:26 @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:6:32 @Because the Gentiles go in search of all these things: for your Father in heaven has knowledge that you have need of all these things:

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: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:7:6 @Do not give that which is holy to the dogs, or put your jewels before pigs, for fear that they will be crushed under foot by the pigs whose attack will then be made against 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:7:12 @All those things, then, which you would have men do to you, even so do you to them: because this is the law and the prophets.

bbe@Matthew:7:24 @Everyone, then, to whom my words come and who does them, will be like a wise man who made his house on a rock;

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:7:26 @And everyone to whom my words come and who does them not, will be like a foolish man who made his house on sand;

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: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:8:13 @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:8:14 @And when Jesus had come into Peter's house, he saw his wife's mother in bed, very ill.

bbe@Matthew:8:18 @Now when Jesus saw a great mass of people about him, he gave an order to go to the other side

bbe@Matthew:8:20 @And Jesus said to him, The foxes have holes, and the birds of heaven have a resting-place; but the Son of man has nowhere to put his head.

bbe@Matthew:8:22 @But Jesus said to him, Come after me; and let the dead take care of their dead.

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:8:32 @And he said to them, Go. And they came out, and went into the pigs; and the herd went rushing down a sharp slope into the sea and came to their end in the water.

bbe@Matthew:8:34 @And all the town came out to Jesus; and seeing him they made request that he would go away from their part of the country.

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:9:4 @And Jesus, having knowledge of what was in their minds, said, Why are your thoughts evil?

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:9:7 @And he got up and went away to his house.

bbe@Matthew:9:9 @And when Jesus was going from there, he saw a man whose name was Matthew, seated at the place where taxes were taken; and he said to him, Come after me. And he got up and went after him.

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:9:15 @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:9:17 @And men do not put new wine into old wine-skins; or the skins will be burst and the wine will come out, and the skins are of no more use: but they put new wine into new wine-skins, and so the two will be safe.

bbe@Matthew:9:19 @And Jesus got up and went after him, and so did his disciples.

bbe@Matthew:9:21 @Because, she said to herself, if I may but put my hand on his robe, I will be made well.

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:9:27 @And when Jesus went on from there, two blind men came after him, crying out, Have mercy on us, you Son of David.

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:9:30 @And their eyes were made open. And Jesus said to them sharply, Let no man have knowledge of it.

bbe@Matthew:9:35 @And Jesus went about all the towns and small places, teaching in their Synagogues and preaching the good news of the kingdom and making well all sorts of disease and pain.

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:10:3 @Philip and Bartholomew; Thomas and Matthew, the tax-farmer; James, the son of Alphaeus, and Thaddaeus;

bbe@Matthew:10:5 @These twelve Jesus sent out and gave them orders, saying, Do not go among the Gentiles, or into any town of Samaria,

bbe@Matthew:10:6 @But go to the wandering sheep of the house of Israel,

bbe@Matthew:10:11 @And into whatever town or small place you go, make search there for someone who is respected, and make his house your resting-place till you go away.

bbe@Matthew:10:12 @And when you go in, say, May peace be on this house.

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:10:18 @And you will come before rulers and kings because of me, for a witness to them and to the Gentiles.

bbe@Matthew:10:20 @Because it is not you who say the words, but the Spirit of your Father in you.

bbe@Matthew:10:22 @And you will be hated by all men because of my name: but he who is strong to the end will have salvation.

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:10:26 @Have, then, no fear of them: because nothing is covered which will not come to light, or secret which will not be made clear.

bbe@Matthew:10:27 @What I say to you in the dark, say in the light: and what comes to your ear secretly, say publicly from the house-tops.

bbe@Matthew:10:36 @And a man will be hated by those of his house.

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: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:11:4 @And Jesus, answering, said to them, Go and give news to John of the things which you are seeing and hearing:

bbe@Matthew:11:7 @And when they were going away, Jesus, talking of John, said to all the people, What went you out into the waste land to see? a tall stem moving in the wind?

bbe@Matthew:11:8 @But what went you out to see? a man delicately clothed? Those who have fair robes are in kings' houses.

bbe@Matthew:11:17 @We made music for you and you did not take part in the dance; we gave cries of sorrow and you made no signs of grief.

bbe@Matthew:11:20 @Then he went on to say hard things to the towns where most of his works of power were done, because they had not been turned from their sins.

bbe@Matthew:11:21 @Unhappy are you, Chorazin! Unhappy are you, Beth-saida! For if the works of power which were done in you had been done in Tyre and Sidon, they would have been turned from their sins in days gone by, clothing themselves in haircloth and putting dust on their heads.

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:12:1 @At that time Jesus went through the fields on the Sabbath day; and his disciples, being in need of food, were taking the heads of grain.

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:12:15 @And Jesus, having knowledge of this, went away from there, and a great number went after him; and he made them all well,

bbe@Matthew:12:20 @The crushed stem will not be broken by him; and the feebly burning light will he not put out, till he has made righteousness overcome all.

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:12:29 @Or how may one go into a strong man's house and take his goods, if he does not first put cords round the strong man? and then he may take his goods.

bbe@Matthew:12:34 @You offspring of snakes, how are you, being evil, able to say good things? because out of the heart's store come the words of the mouth.

bbe@Matthew:12:37 @For by your words will your righteousness be seen, and by your words you will be judged.

bbe@Matthew:12:41 @The men of Nineveh will come up in the day of judging and give their decision against this generation: because they were turned from their sins at the preaching of Jonah; and now a greater than Jonah is here.

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:13:1 @On that day Jesus went out of the house and was seated by the seaside.

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:13:12 @Because whoever has, to him will be given, and he will have more; but from him who has not, even what he has will be taken away.

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:13:16 @But a blessing be on your eyes, because they see; and on your ears, because they are open.

bbe@Matthew:13:21 @But having no root in himself, he goes on for a time; and when trouble comes or pain, because of the word, he quickly becomes full of doubts.

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:13:30 @Let them come up together till the getting in of the grain; and then I will say to the workers, Take up first the evil plants, and put them together for burning: but put the grain into my store-house.

bbe@Matthew:13:31 @He put another story before them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is like a grain of mustard seed which a man took and put in his field:

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:13:36 @Then he went away from the people, and went into the house; and his disciples came to him, saying, Make clear to us the story of the evil plants in the field.

bbe@Matthew:13:41 @The Son of man will send out his angels, and they will take out of his kingdom everything which is a cause of error, and all those who do wrong,

bbe@Matthew:13:52 @And he said to them, For this reason every scribe who has become a disciple of the kingdom of heaven is like the owner of a house, who gives out from his store things new and old.

bbe@Matthew:13:53 @And when Jesus had come to the end of these stories he went away from there.

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:14:1 @At that time news of Jesus came to Herod the king;

bbe@Matthew:14:3 @For Herod had taken John and put him in prison because of Herodias, his brother Philip's wife.

bbe@Matthew:14:4 @Because John had said to him, It is not right for you to have her.

bbe@Matthew:14:5 @And he would have put him to death, but for his fear of the people, because in their eyes John was a prophet.

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:14:12 @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:14:16 @But Jesus said to them, There is no need for them to go away; give them food yourselves.

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:14:27 @But straight away Jesus said to them, Take heart; it is I, have no fear.

bbe@Matthew:14:29 @And he said, Come. And Peter got out of the boat, and walking on the water, went to Jesus.

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:15:1 @Then there came to Jesus from Jerusalem Pharisees and scribes, saying,

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:15:15 @Then Peter said to him, Make the story clear to us.

bbe@Matthew:15:21 @And Jesus went away from there into the country of Tyre and Sidon.

bbe@Matthew:15:23 @But he gave her no answer. And his disciples came and said to him, Send her away, for she is crying after us.

bbe@Matthew:15:24 @But he made answer and said, I was sent only to the wandering sheep of the house of Israel.

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:15:29 @And Jesus went from there and came to the sea of Galilee; and he went up into the mountain, and took his seat there.

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:15:34 @And Jesus says to them, How much bread have you? And they said, Seven cakes, and some small fishes.

bbe@Matthew:15:38 @And there were four thousand men who took food, together with women and children.

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:16:9 @Do you still not see, or keep in mind the five cakes of bread of the five thousand, and the number of baskets you took up?

bbe@Matthew:16:10 @Or the seven cakes of bread of the four thousand, and the number of baskets you took up?

bbe@Matthew:16:13 @Now when Jesus had come into the parts of Caesarea Philippi, he said, questioning his disciples, Who do men say that the Son of man is?

bbe@Matthew:16:17 @And Jesus made answer and said to him, A blessing on you, Simon Bar-jonah: because this knowledge has not come to you from flesh and blood, but from my Father in heaven.

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:16:23 @But he, turning to Peter, said, Get out of my way, Satan: you are a danger to me because your mind is not on the things of God, but on the things of men.

bbe@Matthew:16:24 @Then Jesus said to his disciples, If any man would come after me, let him give up all, and take up his cross, and come after me.

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: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:17:4 @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:17:7 @And Jesus came and put his hand on them and said, Get up and have no fear.

bbe@Matthew:17:8 @And lifting up their eyes, they saw no one, but Jesus only.

bbe@Matthew:17:9 @And when they were coming down from the mountain, Jesus gave them orders, saying, Let no man have word of what you have seen, till the Son of man has come again from the dead.

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:17:22 @And while they were going about in Galilee, Jesus said to them, The Son of man will be given up into the hands of men;

bbe@Matthew:17:25 @He says, Yes. And when he came into the house, Jesus said to him, What is your opinion, Simon? from whom do the kings of the earth get payment or tax? from their sons or from other people?

bbe@Matthew:17:26 @And when he said, From other people, Jesus said to him, Then are the sons free.

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:18:1 @In that hour the disciples came to Jesus, saying, Who is greatest in the kingdom of heaven?

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:18:22 @Jesus says to him, I say not to you, Till seven times; but, Till seventy times seven.

bbe@Matthew:18:24 @And at the start, one came to him who was in his debt for ten thousand talents.

bbe@Matthew:18:25 @And because he was not able to make payment, his lord gave orders for him, and his wife, and his sons and daughters, and all he had, to be given for money, and payment to be made.

bbe@Matthew:18:32 @Then his lord sent for him and said, You evil servant; I made you free of all that debt, because of your request to me:

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:19:5 @For this cause will a man go away from his father and mother, and be joined to his wife; and the two will become one flesh?

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:19:9 @And I say to you, Whoever puts away his wife for any other cause than the loss of her virtue, and takes another, is a false husband: and he who takes her as his wife when she is put away, is no true husband to her.

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:19:26 @And Jesus, looking at them, said, With men this is not possible; but with God all things are possible.

bbe@Matthew:19:28 @And Jesus said to them, Truly I say to you that in the time when all things are made new, and the Son of man is seated in his glory, you who have come after me will be seated on twelve seats, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.

bbe@Matthew:19:29 @And everyone who has given up houses, or brothers, or sisters, or father, or mother, or child, or land, for my name, will be given a hundred times as much, and have eternal life.

bbe@Matthew:20:1 @For the kingdom of heaven is like the master of a house, who went out early in the morning to get workers into his vine-garden.

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:20:12 @Saying, These last have done only one hour's work, and you have made them equal to us, who have undergone the hard work of the day and the burning heat

bbe@Matthew:20:15 @Have I not the right to do as seems good to me in my house? or is your eye evil, because I am good?

bbe@Matthew:20:17 @And when Jesus was going up to Jerusalem, he took the twelve disciples on one side, and said to them,

bbe@Matthew:20:18 @See, we go up to Jerusalem; and the Son of man will be given into the hands of the chief priests and scribes; and they will give orders for him to be put to death,

bbe@Matthew:20:22 @But Jesus made answer and said, You have no idea what you are requesting. Are you able to take of the cup which I am about to take?

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:20:30 @And two blind men seated by the wayside, when they had the news that Jesus was going by, gave a loud cry, saying, Lord, Son of David, have mercy on us.

bbe@Matthew:20:31 @And the people gave them orders to be quiet; but they went on crying even louder, Lord, Son of David, have mercy on us.

bbe@Matthew:20:32 @And Jesus, stopping, sent for them, and said, What would you have me do to you?

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:21:1 @And when they were near Jerusalem, and had come to Beth-phage, to the Mountain of Olives, Jesus sent two disciples,

bbe@Matthew:21:6 @And the disciples went and did as Jesus had given them orders,

bbe@Matthew:21:10 @And when he came into Jerusalem, all the town was moved, saying, Who is this?

bbe@Matthew:21:11 @And the people said, This is the prophet Jesus, from Nazareth of Galilee.

bbe@Matthew:21:12 @And Jesus went into the Temple and sent out all who were trading there, overturning the tables of the money-changers and the seats of those trading in doves.

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:21:21 @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:21:24 @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:21:26 @But if we say, From men; we are in fear of the people, because all take John to be a prophet.

bbe@Matthew:21:31 @Which of the two did his father's pleasure? They say, The first. Jesus said to them, Truly I say to you, that tax-farmers and loose women are going into the kingdom of God before you.

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:21:38 @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:21:42 @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:21:44 @Any man falling on this stone will be broken, but he on whom it comes down will be crushed to dust.

bbe@Matthew:21:46 @And though they had a desire to take him, they were in fear of the people, because in their eyes he was a prophet.

bbe@Matthew:22:1 @And Jesus, talking to them again in stories, said:

bbe@Matthew:22:5 @But they gave no attention, and went about their business, one to his farm, another to his trade:

bbe@Matthew:22:15 @Then the Pharisees went and had a meeting to see how they might make use of his words to take him.

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:22:18 @But Jesus saw their trick and said, Oh false ones, why are you attempting to put me in the wrong?

bbe@Matthew:22:25 @Now there were among us seven brothers; and the first was married and at his death, having no seed, gave his wife to his brother;

bbe@Matthew:22:28 @When they come back from the dead, then, whose wife will she be of the seven? because they all had her.

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:22:30 @For when they come back from the dead there are no husbands and wives, but they are as the angels in heaven.

bbe@Matthew:22:41 @Now while the Pharisees were together, Jesus put a question to them, saying,

bbe@Matthew:23:1 @Then Jesus said to the people and to his disciples:

bbe@Matthew:23:9 @And give no man the name of father on earth: because one is your Father, who is in heaven.

bbe@Matthew:23:10 @And you may not be named guides: because one is your Guide, even Christ.

bbe@Matthew:23:13 @But a curse is on you, scribes and Pharisees, false ones! because you are shutting the kingdom of heaven against men: for you do not go in yourselves, and those who are going in, you keep back.

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:23:23 @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:23:28 @Even so you seem to men to be full of righteousness, but inside you are all false and full of wrongdoing.

bbe@Matthew:23:29 @A curse is on you, scribes and Pharisees, false ones! because you put up buildings for housing the dead bodies of the prophets, and make fair the last resting-places of good men, and say,

bbe@Matthew:23:37 @O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, putting to death the prophets, and stoning those who are sent to her! Again and again would I have taken your children to myself as a bird takes her young ones under her wings, and you would not!

bbe@Matthew:23:38 @See, your house is made waste.

bbe@Matthew:24:1 @And Jesus went out of the Temple, and on the way his disciples came to him, pointing out the buildings of the Temple.

bbe@Matthew:24:3 @And while he was seated on the Mountain of Olives, the disciples came to him privately, saying, Make clear to us, when will these things be? and what will be the sign of your coming and of the end of the world?

bbe@Matthew:24:4 @And Jesus said to them in answer, Take care that you are not tricked.

bbe@Matthew:24:9 @Then they will be cruel to you, and will put you to death: and you will be hated by all nations because of my name.

bbe@Matthew:24:11 @And a number of false prophets will come, causing error.

bbe@Matthew:24:12 @And because wrongdoing will be increased, the love of most people will become cold.

bbe@Matthew:24:17 @Let not him who is on the house-top go down to take anything out of his house:

bbe@Matthew:24:21 @Because in those days there will be great sorrow, such as there has not been from the start of the world till now, or ever will be.

bbe@Matthew:24:22 @And if those days had not been made short there would have been no salvation for any, but because of the saints those days will be made short.

bbe@Matthew:24:27 @Because as in a thunderstorm the bright light coming from the east is seen even in the west; so will be the coming of the Son of man.

bbe@Matthew:24:38 @Because as in those days before the overflowing of the waters, they were feasting and taking wives and getting married, till the day when Noah went into the ark,

bbe@Matthew:24:41 @Two women will be crushing grain; one is taken, and one let go.

bbe@Matthew:24:43 @But be certain of this, that if the master of the house had had knowledge of the time when the thief was coming, he would have been watching, and would not have let his house be broken into.

bbe@Matthew:24:45 @Who is the true and wise servant, whom his lord has put over those in his house, to give them their food at the right time?

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:25:5 @Now the husband was a long time in coming, and they all went to sleep.

bbe@Matthew:25:6 @But in the middle of the night there is a cry, The husband comes! Go out to him.

bbe@Matthew:25:8 @And the foolish said to the wise, Give us of your oil; for our lights are going out.

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:25:11 @After that the other virgins came, saying, Lord, Lord, let us in.

bbe@Matthew:25:13 @Keep watch, then, because you are not certain of the day or of the hour.

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:25:45 @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:26:1 @And when Jesus had come to the end of all these words, he said to his disciples,

bbe@Matthew:26:3 @Then the chief priests and the rulers of the people came together in the house of the high priest, who was named Caiaphas.

bbe@Matthew:26:4 @And they made designs together to take Jesus by some trick, and put him to death.

bbe@Matthew:26:6 @Now when Jesus was in Bethany in the house of Simon the leper,

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:26:17 @Now on the first day of unleavened bread the disciples came to Jesus, saying, Where are we to make ready for you to take the Passover meal?

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:26:19 @And the disciples did as Jesus had said to them; and they made ready the Passover.

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:26:31 @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:26:34 @Jesus said to him, Truly I say to you that this night, before the hour of the cock's cry, you will say three times that you have no knowledge of me.

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:26:46 @Up, let us be going: see, he who gives me up is near.

bbe@Matthew:26:49 @And straight away he came to Jesus and said, Master! and gave him a kiss.

bbe@Matthew:26:50 @And Jesus said to him, Friend, do that for which you have come. Then they came and put hands on Jesus, and took him.

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:26:55 @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:26:57 @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:26:63 @But Jesus said not a word. And the high priest said to him, I put you on oath, by the living God, that you will say to us if you are the Christ, the Son of God.

bbe@Matthew:26:64 @Jesus says to him, You say so: but I say to you, From now you will see the Son of man seated at the right hand of power, and coming on the clouds of heaven.

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:26:71 @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:26:73 @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:26:75 @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:27:4 @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:27:8 @For this cause that field was named, The field of blood, to this day.

bbe@Matthew:27:11 @And Jesus was before the ruler, who put a question to him, Are you the King of the Jews? And Jesus said to him, You say so.

bbe@Matthew:27:17 @So when they came together, Pilate said to them, Whom will you have? Barabbas, or Jesus, who is named Christ?

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:27:22 @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:27:25 @And all the people made answer and said, Let his blood be on us, and on our children.

bbe@Matthew:27:26 @Then he let Barabbas go free: but after having Jesus whipped, he gave him up to be put to death on the cross.

bbe@Matthew:27:27 @Then the ruler's armed men took Jesus into the open square, and got all their band together.

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:27:46 @And about the ninth hour Jesus gave a loud cry, saying, Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani? that is, My God, my God, why are you turned away from me?

bbe@Matthew:27:49 @And the rest said, Let him be; let us see if Elijah will come to his help.

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:27:57 @And in the evening, there came a man of wealth from Arimathaea, Joseph by name, who was a disciple of Jesus:

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:28:5 @And the angel said to the women, Have no fear: for I see that you are searching for Jesus, who was put to death on the cross.

bbe@Matthew:28:9 @And on the way, Jesus came to them, saying, Be glad. And they came and put their hands on his feet, and gave him worship.

bbe@Matthew:28:10 @Then said Jesus to them, Have no fear: go and give word to my brothers to go into Galilee, and there they will see me.

bbe@Matthew:28:16 @But the eleven disciples went into Galilee, to the mountain where Jesus had given them orders to go.

bbe@Matthew:28:18 @And Jesus came to them and said, All authority has been given to me in heaven and on earth.

bbe@Mark:1:1 @The first words of the good news of Jesus Christ, the Son of God.

bbe@Mark:1:5 @And there went out to him all the people of Judaea, and all those of Jerusalem, and they were given baptism by him in the river Jordan, saying that they were sinners.

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:1:9 @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:1:14 @Now after John had been put in prison, Jesus came into Galilee, preaching the good news of God,

bbe@Mark:1:17 @And Jesus said to them, Come after me, and I will make you fishers of men.

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:1:24 @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:1:25 @And Jesus said to him sharply, Be quiet, and come out of him.

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:1:34 @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:1:38 @And he said to them, Let us go to other parts into the nearest towns, so that I may give teaching there, because for this purpose I came.

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:2:1 @And when he came into Capernaum again after some days, the news went about that he was in the house.

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:2:11 @I say to you, Get up, take up your bed, and go to your house.

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:2:17 @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:2:19 @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:2:26 @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:3:5 @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:3:7 @And Jesus went away with his disciples to the sea, and a great number from Galilee came after him: and from Judaea,

bbe@Mark:3:8 @And from Jerusalem, and from Idumaea, and the other side of Jordan, and the country about Tyre and Sidon, a great number, hearing what great things he did, came to him.

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:3:18 @And Andrew, and Philip, and Bartholomew, and Matthew, and Thomas, and James, the son of Alphaeus, and Thaddaeus, and Simon the Zealot;

bbe@Mark:3:20 @And he went into a house. And the people came together again, so that they were not even able to take bread.

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:3:25 @And if there is division in a house, that house will come to destruction;

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:3:30 @Because they said, He has an unclean spirit.

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:4:17 @And they have no root in themselves, but go on for a time; then, when trouble comes or pain, because of the word, they quickly become full of doubts.

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:4:31 @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:4:35 @And on that day, when the evening had come, he said to them, Let us go over to the other side.

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:5:4 @Because he had frequently been prisoned in chains and iron bands, and the chains had been parted and the bands broken by him: and no man was strong enough to make him quiet.

bbe@Mark:5:6 @And when he saw Jesus from far off, he went quickly to him and gave him worship;

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:5:9 @And Jesus said, What is your name? And he made answer, My name is Legion, because there are a great number of us.

bbe@Mark:5:12 @And they said to him, Send us into the pigs, so that we may go into them

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:5:15 @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:5:19 @And he would not let him, but said to him, Go to your house, to your friends, and give them news of the great things the Lord has done for you, and how he had mercy on you.

bbe@Mark:5:20 @And he went on his way, and made public in the country of Decapolis what great things Jesus had done for him: and all men were full of wonder.

bbe@Mark:5:21 @And when Jesus had gone over again in the boat to the other side, a great number of people came to him: and he was by the sea.

bbe@Mark:5:22 @And one of the rulers of the Synagogue, Jairus by name, came, and seeing him, went down at his feet,

bbe@Mark:5:27 @When she had news of the things which Jesus did, went among the people coming after him, and put her hand on his robe.

bbe@Mark:5:30 @And straight away Jesus was conscious that power had gone out of him; and, turning to the people, he said, Who was touching my robe?

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:5:35 @And while he was still talking, they came from the ruler of the Synagogue's house, saying, Your daughter is dead: why are you still troubling the Master?

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:5:38 @And they came to the house of the ruler of the Synagogue; and he saw people running this way and that, and weeping and crying loudly.

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:6:10 @And he said to them, Wherever you go into a house, make that your resting-place till you go away.

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:6:14 @And king Herod had news of him, because his name was on the lips of all; and he said, John the Baptist has come back from the dead, and for this reason these powers are working in him

bbe@Mark:6:17 @For Herod himself had sent men out to take John and put him in prison, because of Herodias, his brother Philip's wife, whom he had taken for himself.

bbe@Mark:6:20 @For Herod was in fear of John, being conscious that he was an upright and holy man, and kept him safe. And hearing him, he was much troubled; and he gave ear to him gladly.

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:6:30 @And the twelve came together to Jesus; and they gave him an account of all the things they had done, and all they had been teaching.

bbe@Mark:6:31 @And he said to them, Come away by yourselves to a quiet place, and take a rest for a time. Because there were a great number coming and going, and they had no time even for food.

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:6:44 @And those who took of the bread were five thousand men.

bbe@Mark:6:48 @And seeing that they had trouble in getting their boat through the water, because the wind was against them, about the fourth watch of the night he came to them, walking on the sea; and he would have gone past them;

bbe@Mark:7:1 @And there came together to him the Pharisees and certain of the scribes who had come from Jerusalem,

bbe@Mark:7:17 @And when he had gone into the house away from all the people, his disciples put questions to him about the saying.

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:7:21 @Because from inside, from the heart of men, come evil thoughts and unclean pleasures,

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:7:30 @And she went away to her house, and saw the child on the bed, and the evil spirit gone out.

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:8:9 @And there were about four thousand people: and he sent them away.

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:8:26 @And he sent him away to his house, saying, Do not even go into the town.

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:8:35 @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:8:38 @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:9:2 @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:9:4 @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:9:6 @Because he was not certain what to say, for they were in great fear.

bbe@Mark:9:8 @And suddenly looking round about, they saw no one any longer, but Jesus only with themselves.

bbe@Mark:9:21 @And Jesus questioning the father said, How long has he been like this? And he said, From a child.

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:9:25 @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:9:27 @But Jesus took him by the hand, lifting him up; and he got up.

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:9:33 @And they came to Capernaum: and when he was in the house, he put the question to them, What were you talking about on the way?

bbe@Mark:9:34 @But they said nothing: because they had had an argument between themselves on the way, about who was the greatest.

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:9:39 @But Jesus said, Say not so: for there is no man who will do a great work in my name, and be able at the same time to say evil of me.

bbe@Mark:9:40 @He who is not against us is for 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:10:4 @And they said to him, Moses let us give her a statement in writing, and be free from her.

bbe@Mark:10:5 @But Jesus said to them, Because of your hard hearts he gave you this law.

bbe@Mark:10:7 @For this cause will a man go away from his father and mother, and be joined to his wife;

bbe@Mark:10:10 @And in the house the disciples put questions to him again about this thing.

bbe@Mark:10:12 @And if she herself puts away her husband and takes another, she is false to her husband.

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:10:18 @And Jesus said to him, Why do you say I am good? no one is good but one, and that is God.

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:10:27 @Jesus, looking on them, said, With men it is impossible, but not with God: for all things are possible with God.

bbe@Mark:10:29 @Jesus said, Truly I say to you, There is no man who has given up house, or brothers, or sisters, or mother, or father, or children, or land, because of me and the good news,

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:10:32 @And they were on the way, going up to Jerusalem; and Jesus was going before them: and they were full of wonder; but those who came after him were in fear. And again he took the twelve, and gave them word of the things which were to come on him,

bbe@Mark:10:33 @Saying, See, we go up to Jerusalem; and the Son of man will be given up to the chief priests and the scribes; and they will give an order for his death, and will give him up to the Gentiles:

bbe@Mark:10:35 @And there came to him James and John, the sons of Zebedee, saying to him, Master, will you give us whatever may be our request?

bbe@Mark:10:37 @And they said to him, Let us be seated, one at your right hand and one at your left, in your glory.

bbe@Mark:10:38 @But Jesus said to them, You have no knowledge of what you are saying. Are you able to take of my cup? or to undergo the baptism which I am to undergo?

bbe@Mark:10:39 @And they said to him, We are able. And Jesus said to them, You will take of the cup from which I take; and the baptism which I am about to undergo you will undergo:

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:10:46 @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:10:49 @And Jesus came to a stop and said, Let him come. And crying out to the blind man, they said to him, Be comforted: come, he has sent for you.

bbe@Mark:10:50 @And he, putting off his coat, got up quickly, and came to Jesus.

bbe@Mark:10:51 @And Jesus said to him, What would you have me do to you? And the blind man said, Master, make me able to see.

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:11:1 @And when they came near to Jerusalem, to Beth-phage and Bethany, at the Mountain of Olives, he sent two of his disciples,

bbe@Mark:11:6 @And they said to them the words which Jesus had said; and they let them go.

bbe@Mark:11:7 @And they took the young ass to Jesus, and put their clothing on him, and he got on his back.

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:11:15 @And they came to Jerusalem; and he went into the Temple, and sent out those who were trading there, overturning the tables of the money-changers and the seats of those who were offering doves for money;

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:11:22 @And Jesus, answering, said to them, Have God's faith.

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:11:29 @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:11:32 @But if we say, From men--they were in fear of the people, because all took John to be truly a prophet.

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:12:7 @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:12:8 @And they took him and put him to death, pushing his body out of the garden.

bbe@Mark:12:12 @And they made attempts to take him; but they were in fear of the people, because they saw that the story was against them; and they went away from him.

bbe@Mark:12:13 @Then they sent to him certain of the Pharisees and the Herodians, so that they might make use of his words to take him by a trick

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:12:17 @And Jesus said to them, Give to Caesar the things which are Caesar's, and to God the things which are God's. And they were full of wonder at him.

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:12:29 @Jesus said in answer, The first is, Give ear, O Israel: The Lord our God is one Lord;

bbe@Mark:12:34 @And when Jesus saw that he gave a wise answer, he said to him, You are not far from the kingdom of God. And every man after that was in fear of questioning him any more.

bbe@Mark:12:35 @And Jesus, when he was teaching in the Temple, said, How do the scribes say that the Christ is the Son of David?

bbe@Mark:12:44 @Because they all put in something out of what they had no need for; but she out of her need put in all she had, even all her living.

bbe@Mark:13:2 @And Jesus said to him, Do you see these great buildings? there is not one stone here resting on another which will not be overturned.

bbe@Mark:13:5 @And Jesus said to them, Take care that you are not tricked by anyone.

bbe@Mark:13:9 @But take care: for they will give you up to the Sanhedrins; and in Synagogues you will be whipped; and you will be taken before rulers and kings because of me, for a sign to them.

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:13:13 @And you will be hated by all men, because of my name; but he who goes through to the end will have salvation.

bbe@Mark:13:15 @And let him who is on the house-top not go down, or go in, to take anything out of his house:

bbe@Mark:13:20 @And if the Lord had not made the time short, no flesh would have been kept from destruction; but because of the saints he has made the time short.

bbe@Mark:13:22 @Because there will be false Christs and false prophets, and they will give signs and wonders in the hope of turning even the saints from the true way.

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:13:35 @So you are to keep watch: because you are not certain when the master of the house is coming, in the evening, or in the middle of the night, or at the cock's cry, or in the morning;

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:14:6 @But Jesus said, Let her be; why are you troubling her? she has done a kind act to me.

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:14:18 @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:14:27 @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:14:30 @And Jesus said to him, Truly, I say to you that you, today, even this night, before the cock's second cry, will say three times that you have no knowledge of me.

bbe@Mark:14:39 @And again he went away, and said a prayer, using the same words.

bbe@Mark:14:40 @And again he came and saw them sleeping, because their eyes were very tired; and they had nothing to say in answer.

bbe@Mark:14:42 @Get up, let us be going; see, he who gives me up is near.

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:14:53 @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:14:60 @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:14:67 @And seeing Peter warming himself by the fire, she gave him a look, and said, You were with this Nazarene, even Jesus.

bbe@Mark:14:72 @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:15:5 @But Jesus gave no more answers, so that Pilate was full of wonder.

bbe@Mark:15:15 @And Pilate, desiring to do what was pleasing to the people, let Barabbas go free, and gave up Jesus, when he had been whipped, to be put to death on the cross.

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:15:34 @And at the ninth hour, Jesus said in a loud voice, Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani? which is, My God, my God, why are you turned away from me?

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:15:41 @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:16:3 @And they were saying among themselves, Who will get the stone rolled away from the door for us?

bbe@Mark:16:6 @And he said to them, Do not be troubled: you are looking for Jesus, the Nazarene, who has been put to death on the cross; he has come back from the dead; he is not here: see, the place where they put him!

bbe@Mark:16:8 @And they went out quickly from the place, because fear and great wonder had come on them: and they said nothing to anyone, because they were full of fear that...

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:16:17 @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:16:19 @So then the Lord Jesus, after he had said these words to them, was taken up into heaven and took his seat at the right hand of God.

bbe@Luke:1:1 @As a number of attempts have been made to put together in order an account of those events which took place among us,

bbe@Luke:1:2 @As they were handed down to us by those who saw them from the first and were preachers of the word,

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:1:17 @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:1:23 @And when the days of his work in the Temple were ended, he went back to his house.

bbe@Luke:1:31 @And see, you will give birth to a son, and his name will be Jesus.

bbe@Luke:1:33 @He will have rule over the house of Jacob for ever, and of his kingdom there will be no end.

bbe@Luke:1:34 @And Mary said to the angel, How may this be, because I have had no knowledge of a man?

bbe@Luke:1:40 @And went into the house of Zacharias and took Elisabeth in her arms.

bbe@Luke:1:56 @And Mary was with her for about three months and then went back to her house.

bbe@Luke:1:69 @Lifting up a horn of salvation for us in the house of his servant David,

bbe@Luke:1:71 @Salvation from those who are against us, and from the hands of those who have hate for us;

bbe@Luke:1:74 @That we, being made free from the fear of those who are against us, might give him worship,

bbe@Luke:1:75 @In righteousness and holy living before him all our days.

bbe@Luke:1:78 @Because of the loving mercies of our God, by which the dawn from heaven has come to us,

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:2:2 @This was the first numbering, which was made when Quirinius was ruler of Syria.

bbe@Luke:2:4 @And Joseph went up from Galilee, out of the town of Nazareth, into Judaea, to Beth-lehem, the town of David, because he was of the house and family of David,

bbe@Luke:2:7 @And she had her first son; and folding him in linen, she put him to rest in the place where the cattle had their food, because there was no room for them in the house.

bbe@Luke:2:15 @And when the angels had gone away from them into heaven, the keepers of the sheep said to one another, Let us go now to Beth-lehem, and see this thing which has come about, which the Lord has made clear to us.

bbe@Luke:2:21 @And when, after eight days, the time came for his circumcision, he was named Jesus, the name which the angel had given to him before his birth.

bbe@Luke:2:22 @And when the necessary days for making them clean by the law of Moses had come to an end, they took him to Jerusalem to give him to the Lord

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:2:27 @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:2:34 @And Simeon gave them his blessing and said to Mary, his mother, See, this child will be the cause of the downfall and the lifting up of great numbers of people in Israel, and he will be a sign against which hard words will be said;

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:2:41 @And every year his father and mother went to Jerusalem at the feast of the Passover.

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:2:45 @And seeing that he was not there, they went back to Jerusalem, to make search for him.

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:2:52 @And Jesus was increasing in wisdom and in years, and in grace before God and men.

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:3:19 @But Herod the king, because John had made a protest on account of Herodias, his brother's wife, and other evil things which Herod had done,

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:3:23 @And Jesus at this time was about thirty years old, being the son (as it seemed) of Joseph, the son of Heli,

bbe@Luke:3:29 @The son of Jesus, the son of Eliezer, the son of Jorim, the son of Matthat, the son of Levi,

bbe@Luke:3:37 @The son of Methuselah, the son of Enoch, the son of Jared, the son of Mahalaleel, the son of Cainan,

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:4:8 @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:4:11 @And, In their hands they will keep you up, so that your foot may not be crushed against a stone.

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:4:18 @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:4:34 @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:4:38 @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:4:41 @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:4:43 @But he said to them, I have to give the good news of the kingdom of God in other towns, because that is why I was sent.

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:5:8 @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:5:10 @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:5:17 @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:5:19 @And because of the mass of people, there was no way to get him in; so they went up on the top of the house and let him down through the roof, on his bed, into the middle in front of Jesus.

bbe@Luke:5:22 @But Jesus, who had knowledge of their thoughts, said to them, Why are you reasoning in your hearts?

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:5:25 @And straight away he got up before them, and took up his bed and went away to his house giving praise to God.

bbe@Luke:5:28 @And giving up his business, he got up and went after him.

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:5:31 @And Jesus, answering, said to them, Those who are well have no need of a medical man, but those who are ill.

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: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:6:3 @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:6:9 @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:6:11 @But they were full of wrath, and were talking together about what they might do to Jesus.

bbe@Luke:6:15 @And Matthew and Thomas and James, the son of Alphaeus, and Simon, who was named the Zealot,

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:6:22 @Happy are you, when men have hate for you, and put you away from among them and say angry words to you, turning away in disgust at your name, because of the Son of man.

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:6:38 @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:6:41 @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:6:48 @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:7:3 @And when news of Jesus came to his ears, he sent to him rulers of the Jews, requesting that he would come and make his servant well.

bbe@Luke:7:4 @And they, when they came to Jesus, made their request warmly, saying,

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:7:9 @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:7:10 @And when those who were sent came back to the house they saw that the servant was well.

bbe@Luke:7:16 @And fear came on all, and they gave praise to God, saying, A great prophet is among us: and, God has given thought to his people

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:7:25 @But what did you go out to see? a man in soft clothing? See now, those who have beautiful clothing and delicate food are in kings' houses.

bbe@Luke:7:32 @They are like children who are seated in the market-place, crying out to one another, and saying, We made music for you, but you did not take part in the dance; we gave cries of sorrow, but you were not sad.

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:7:37 @And there was a woman in the town who was a sinner; and when she had news that he was a guest in the Pharisee's house, she took a bottle of perfume,

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:7:40 @And Jesus, answering, said, Simon, I have something to say to you. And he said, Master, say on.

bbe@Luke:7:41 @And he said, Two men were in debt to a certain man of business: one had a debt of five hundred pence, and the other of fifty.

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:8:3 @And Joanna, the wife of Chuza, Herod's chief house-servant, and Susanna and a number of others, who gave him of their wealth for his needs.

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:8:19 @And his mother and his brothers came to him, and they were not able to get near him because of the great number of people.

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:8:27 @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:8:30 @And Jesus said to him, What is your name? And he said, Legion; for a number of spirits had gone into him.

bbe@Luke:8:33 @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:8:35 @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:8:39 @Go back to your house and let them have news of all the great things which God has done for you. And he went away, giving word through all the town of the great things which Jesus had done for him.

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:8:41 @Then there came a man named Jairus, who was a ruler in the Synagogue: and he went down at the feet of Jesus, desiring him to come to his house;

bbe@Luke:8:42 @For he had an only daughter, about twelve years old, and she was near to death. But while he was on his way, the people were pushing to be near 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:8:46 @But Jesus said, Someone was touching me, for I had the feeling that power had gone out from me.

bbe@Luke:8:49 @While he was still talking, someone came from the house of the ruler of the Synagogue, saying, Your daughter is dead; do not go on troubling the Master.

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:9:4 @And if you go into a house, let that house be your resting-place till you go away.

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:9:14 @For there were about five thousand men. And he said to his disciples, Make them be seated in groups, about fifty to a group.

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:9:26 @For if any man has a feeling of shame because of me or of my words, the Son of man will have shame because of him when he comes in his glory and the glory of the Father and of the holy angels.

bbe@Luke:9:31 @Who were seen in glory and were talking of his death which was about to take place in Jerusalem.

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:9:36 @And after the voice was gone they saw that Jesus was by himself. And they kept quiet, and said nothing at that time to anyone of the things which they had seen.

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:9:46 @Now there was a discussion among them about which of them would be the greatest.

bbe@Luke:9:47 @But when Jesus saw the reasoning of their hearts, he took a small child and put him by his side,

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:9:53 @But they would not have him there, because he was clearly going to Jerusalem.

bbe@Luke:9:58 @And Jesus said to him, Foxes have holes and the birds of the air have resting-places, but the Son of man has nowhere to put his head.

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:9:62 @But Jesus said, No man, having put his hand to the plough and looking back, is good enough for the kingdom of God.

bbe@Luke:10:5 @And whenever you go into a house, first say, Peace be to this house.

bbe@Luke:10:7 @And keep in that same house, taking what food and drink they give you: for the worker has a right to his reward. Do not go from house to house.

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:10:13 @A curse is on you, Chorazin! A curse is on you, Beth-saida! For if such works of power had been done in Tyre and Sidon as have been done in you, they would have been turned from their sins, in days gone by, seated in the dust.

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:10:29 @But he, desiring to put himself in the right, said to Jesus, And who is my neighbour?

bbe@Luke:10:30 @And Jesus, answering him, said, A certain man was going down from Jerusalem to Jericho, and he got into the hands of thieves, who took his clothing and gave him cruel blows, and when they went away, he was half dead.

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:10:35 @And the day after he took two pennies and gave them to the owner of the house and said, Take care of him; and if this money is not enough, when I come again I will give you whatever more is needed.

bbe@Luke:10:37 @And he said, The one who had mercy on him. And Jesus said, Go and do the same.

bbe@Luke:10:38 @Now, while they were on their way, he came to a certain town; and a woman named Martha took him into her house.

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: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:11:3 @Give us every day bread for our needs.

bbe@Luke:11:4 @May we have forgiveness for our sins, as we make free all those who are in debt to us. And let us not be put to the test.

bbe@Luke:11:6 @Because a friend of mine has come to me on a journey, and I have nothing to put before him;

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:11:8 @I say to you, Though he will not get up and give to him, because he is his friend, still, if he keeps on making his request, he will get up and give him as much as he has need of.

bbe@Luke:11:17 @But he, having knowledge of their thoughts, said to them, Every kingdom in which there is division is made waste; and a house in which there is division comes to destruction.

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:11:21 @When the strong man armed keeps watch over his house, then his goods are safe:

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:11:38 @And when the Pharisee saw it, he was surprised because he came to the meal without first washing himself.

bbe@Luke:11:45 @And one of the teachers of the law, answering, said to him, Master, in saying this, you give a bad name to us as to them.

bbe@Luke:11:46 @And he said, A curse is on you, teachers of the law! for while other men are crushed under the weight of the rules you make for them, you yourselves do not put so much as one finger to them.

bbe@Luke:11:54 @And watching him, for a chance to get something from his words which might be used against him.

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:12:3 @So, whatever you have said in the dark, will come to men's hearing in the light, and what you have said secretly inside the house, will be made public from the house-tops.

bbe@Luke:12:18 @And he said, This I will do: I will take down my store-houses and make greater ones, and there I will put all my grain and my goods.

bbe@Luke:12:24 @Give thought to the ravens; they do not put seeds into the earth, or get together grain; they have no store-houses or buildings; and God gives them their food: of how much greater value are you than the birds!

bbe@Luke:12:39 @But be certain of this, that if the master of the house had had knowledge of the time when the thief was coming, he would have been watching, and would not have let his house be broken into.

bbe@Luke:12:41 @And Peter said to him, Lord, are these words said to us only, or to all men?

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:12:58 @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:13:2 @And he, in answer, said to them, Are you of the opinion that these Galilaeans were worse than all other Galilaeans, because these things were done to them?

bbe@Luke:13:4 @Or those eighteen men who were crushed by the fall of the tower of Siloam, were they worse than all the other men living in Jerusalem?

bbe@Luke:13:12 @And when Jesus saw her, he said to her, Woman, you are made free from your disease.

bbe@Luke:13:14 @And the ruler of the Synagogue was angry because Jesus had made her well on the Sabbath, and he said to the people, There are six days in which men may do work: so come on those days to be made well, and not on the Sabbath.

bbe@Luke:13:17 @And when he said these things, those who were against him were shamed, and all the people were full of joy because of the great things which were done by him.

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:13:22 @And he went on his way, through towns and country places, teaching and journeying to Jerusalem.

bbe@Luke:13:25 @When the master of the house has got up, and the door has been shut, and you, still outside, give blows on the door, saying, Lord, let us in; he will make answer and say, I have no knowledge of where you come from.

bbe@Luke:13:31 @At that time, certain Pharisees came to him and said, Go away from this place, because Herod's purpose is to put you to death.

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:13:34 @O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, putting to death the prophets, and stoning those who were sent to her! again and again would I have taken your children to myself, as a bird takes her young ones under her wings, but you would not!

bbe@Luke:13:35 @Now see, your house is waste, and I say to you, You will not see me again till you say, A blessing on him who comes in the name of the Lord.

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:14:12 @And he said to the master of the house, When you give a feast, do not send for your friends and your brothers and your family or your neighbours who have wealth, for they may give a feast for you, and so you will get a reward.

bbe@Luke:14:14 @And you will have a blessing, because they will not be able to give you any payment, and you will get your reward when the upright come back from the dead.

bbe@Luke:14:21 @And the servant came back and gave his master an account of these things. Then the master of the house was angry and said to the servant, Go out quickly into the streets of the town and get the poor, the blind, and those who are broken in body.

bbe@Luke:14:23 @And the lord said to the servant, Go out into the roads and the fields, and make them come in, so that my house may be full.

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:14:34 @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:15:6 @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:15:23 @And get the fat young ox and put it to death, and let us have a feast, and be glad.

bbe@Luke:15:25 @Now the older son was in the field: and when he came near the house, the sounds of music and dancing came to his ears.

bbe@Luke:15:27 @And he said to him, Your brother has come; and your father has had the young ox put to death because he has come back safely.

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:16:11 @If, then, you have not been true in your use of the wealth of this life, who will give into your care the true wealth?

bbe@Luke:16:18 @Everyone who puts away his wife and takes another, is a false husband: and he who is married to a woman whose husband has put her away, is no true husband to her.

bbe@Luke:16:20 @And a certain poor man, named Lazarus, was stretched out at his door, full of wounds,

bbe@Luke:16:23 @And in hell, being in great pain, lifting up his eyes he saw Abraham, far away, and Lazarus on his breast.

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:16:25 @But Abraham said, Keep in mind, my son, that when you were living, you had your good things, while Lazarus had evil things: but now, he is comforted and you are in pain.

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:17:6 @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:17:9 @Does he give praise to the servant because he did what was ordered?

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:17:13 @Said, in loud voices, Jesus, Master, have mercy on us.

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:17:17 @And Jesus said, Were there not ten men who were made clean? where are the nine?

bbe@Luke:17:31 @On that day, if anyone is on the roof of the house, and his goods are in the house, let him not go down to take them away; and let him who is in the field not go back to his house.

bbe@Luke:17:35 @Two women will be crushing grain together; one will be taken away and the other let go.

bbe@Luke:18:5 @Because this widow is a trouble to me, I will give her her right; for if not, I will be completely tired out by her frequent coming.

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:18:14 @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:18:16 @But Jesus sent for them, saying, Let the children come to me, and do not keep them away, for of such is the kingdom of heaven.

bbe@Luke:18:19 @And Jesus said to him, Why do you say that I am good? No one is good, but only God.

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:18:29 @And he said to them, Truly I say to you, There is no man who has given up house or wife or brothers or father or mother or children, because of the kingdom of 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:18:37 @And they said to him, Jesus of Nazareth is going by.

bbe@Luke:18:38 @And he said in a loud voice, Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me.

bbe@Luke:18:40 @And Jesus, stopping, gave orders that he was to come to him, and when he came near, he said to him,

bbe@Luke:18:42 @And Jesus said, See again: your faith has made you well.

bbe@Luke:19:2 @A man, named Zacchaeus, who was the chief tax-farmer, and a man of wealth,

bbe@Luke:19:3 @Made an attempt to get a view of Jesus, and was not able to do so, because of the people, for he was a small man.

bbe@Luke:19:5 @And when Jesus came to the place, looking up, he said to him, Zacchaeus, be quick and come down, for I am coming to your house today.

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:19:9 @And Jesus said to him, Today salvation has come to this house, for even he is a son of Abraham.

bbe@Luke:19:11 @And while they were giving ear to these words, he made another story for them, because he was near Jerusalem, and because they were of the opinion that the kingdom of God was coming straight away.

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:19:15 @And when he came back again, having got his kingdom, he gave orders for those servants to whom he had given the money to come to him, so that he might have an account of what business they had done.

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:19:21 @Because I was in fear of you, for you are a hard man: you take up what you have not put down, and get in grain where you have not put seed.

bbe@Luke:19:28 @And when he had said this, he went on in front of them, going up to Jerusalem.

bbe@Luke:19:35 @And they took him to Jesus, and they put their clothing on the ass, and Jesus got on to him.

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:19:44 @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:19:48 @But they were not able to do anything, because the people all kept near him, being greatly interested in his words.

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:20:8 @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:20:14 @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:20:18 @Everyone falling on that stone will be broken, but the man on whom the stone comes down will be crushed to dust.

bbe@Luke:20:22 @Is it right for us to make payment of taxes to Caesar or not?

bbe@Luke:20:34 @And Jesus said to them, The sons of this world are married and have wives;

bbe@Luke:21:12 @But before all this, they will take you and be very cruel to you, giving you up to the Synagogues and to prisons, taking you before kings and rulers, because of my name.

bbe@Luke:21:17 @And you will be hated by all men, because of me.

bbe@Luke:21:20 @But when you see armies all round about Jerusalem, then be certain that her destruction is near.

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:21:25 @And there will be signs in the sun and moon and stars; and on the earth, fear among the nations and doubt because of the loud noise of the sea and the waves;

bbe@Luke:21:28 @But when these things come about, let your heads be lifted up, because your salvation is near.

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:22:8 @And Jesus sent Peter and John, saying, Go and make the Passover ready for us, so that we may take it.

bbe@Luke:22:10 @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:22:47 @And while he was saying these words, there came a band of people, and Judas, one of the twelve, was in front of them, and he came near to Jesus to give him a kiss.

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:22:54 @And they made him a prisoner and took him away to the house of the high priest. But Peter went after them at a distance.

bbe@Luke:22:63 @And the men in whose hands Jesus was, made sport of him and gave him blows.

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:23:8 @Now when Herod saw Jesus he was very glad, having for a long time had a desire to see him, for he had had accounts of him, and was hoping to see some wonders done by him.

bbe@Luke:23:15 @And Herod is of the same opinion, for he has sent him back to us; for, you see, he has done nothing for which I might put him to death.

bbe@Luke:23:19 @Now this man was in prison because of an attack against the government in the town, in which there had been loss of life.

bbe@Luke:23:20 @And Pilate again said to them that it was his desire to let Jesus go free.

bbe@Luke:23:25 @And in answer to their request, he let that man go free who had been in prison for acting against the government and causing death, and Jesus he gave up to their pleasure.

bbe@Luke:23:26 @And while they were taking him away, they put their hands on Simon of Cyrene, who was coming from the country, and made him take the cross after Jesus.

bbe@Luke:23:28 @But Jesus, turning to them, said, Daughters of Jerusalem, let not your weeping be for me, but for yourselves and for your children.

bbe@Luke:23:30 @And they will say to the mountains, Come down on us, and to the hills, Be a cover over us.

bbe@Luke:23:34 @And Jesus said, Father, let them have forgiveness, for they have no knowledge of what they are doing. And they made division of his clothing among them by the decision of chance.

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:23:42 @And he said, Jesus, keep me in mind when you come in your kingdom.

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:23:52 @This man went to Pilate and made a request for the body of Jesus.

bbe@Luke:24:3 @And they went in, but the body of the Lord Jesus was not there.

bbe@Luke:24:12 @But Peter got up and went to the place where the body had been put, and looking in he saw nothing but the linen cloths, and he went to his house full of wonder at what had taken place.

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:24:18 @Then stopping, and looking sadly at him, one of them, named Cleopas, said to him, Are you the only man living in Jerusalem who has not had news of the things which have taken place there at this time?

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:24:22 @And certain women among us gave us cause for wonder, for they went early to the place where his body had been put,

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:24:32 @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:24:33 @And that very hour they got up and went back to Jerusalem, where the eleven and the others had come together.

bbe@Luke:24:41 @And because, for joy and wonder, they were still in doubt, he said to them, Have you any food here?

bbe@Luke:24:47 @And that teaching about a change of heart and forgiveness of sins is to be given to Jerusalem first and to all nations in his name.

bbe@Luke:24:52 @And they gave him worship and went back to Jerusalem with great joy.

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:1:17 @For the law was given through Moses; grace and the true way of life are ours through Jesus Christ.

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:1:22 @So they said to him, Who are you then? We have to give some answer to those who sent us. What have you to say about yourself?

bbe@John:1:29 @The day after, John sees Jesus coming to him and says, See, here is the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world!

bbe@John:1:30 @This is he of whom I said, One is coming after me who is put over me because he was in existence before me.

bbe@John:1:36 @And looking at Jesus while he was walking he said, See, there is the Lamb of God!

bbe@John:1:37 @Hearing what he said, the two disciples went after Jesus.

bbe@John:1:38 @And Jesus, turning round, saw them coming after him and said to them, What are you looking for? They said to him, Rabbi (which is to say, Master), where are you living?

bbe@John:1:41 @Andrew, Simon Peter's brother, was one of the two men who, hearing what John said, went after Jesus.

bbe@John:1:43 @And he took him to Jesus. Looking at him fixedly Jesus said, You are Simon, the son of John; your name will be Cephas (which is to say, Peter).

bbe@John:1:44 @The day after this, Jesus had a desire to go into Galilee. He came across Philip and said to him, Come and be my disciple.

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:1:48 @Jesus saw Nathanael coming to him and said of him, See, here is a true son of Israel in whom there is nothing false.

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:2:1 @On the third day two people were going to be married at Cana in Galilee. The mother of Jesus was there:

bbe@John:2:2 @And Jesus with his disciples came as guests.

bbe@John:2:3 @When they had not enough wine, the mother of Jesus said to him, They have no wine.

bbe@John:2:4 @Jesus said to her, Woman, this is not your business; my time is still to come.

bbe@John:2:7 @Jesus said to the servants, Make the pots full of water. And they made them full to the top.

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:2:13 @The time of the Passover of the Jews was near and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.

bbe@John:2:16 @And to those who were trading in doves he said, Take these things away; do not make my Father's house a market.

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:2:22 @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:3:1 @Now there was among the Pharisees a man named Nicodemus, who was one of the rulers of the Jews.

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:3:9 @And Nicodemus said to him, How is it possible for these things to be?

bbe@John:3:10 @And Jesus, answering, said, Are you the teacher of Israel and have no knowledge of these things?

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:3:19 @And this is the test by which men are judged: the light has come into the world and men have more love for the dark than for the light, because their acts are evil.

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:3:23 @Now John was then giving baptism at Aenon near Salim, because there was much water there; and people came and were given baptism.

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: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:4:6 @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:4:7 @A woman of Samaria came to get water, and Jesus said to her, Give me some water.

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:4:16 @Jesus said to her, Go, get your husband and come back here with him.

bbe@John:4:17 @In answer, the woman said, I have no husband. Jesus said to her, You have said rightly, I have no husband:

bbe@John:4:18 @You have had five husbands, and the man you have now is not your husband: that was truly said.

bbe@John:4:20 @Our fathers gave worship on this mountain, but you Jews say that the right place for worship is in Jerusalem.

bbe@John:4:21 @Jesus said to her, Woman, take my word for this; the time is coming when you will not give worship to the Father on this mountain or in Jerusalem.

bbe@John:4:25 @The woman said to him, I am certain that the Messiah, who is named Christ, is coming; when he comes he will make all things clear to us.

bbe@John:4:26 @Jesus said to her, I, who am talking to you, am he.

bbe@John:4:31 @While this was taking place, the disciples were saying to Jesus, Master, take some food.

bbe@John:4:34 @Jesus said, My food is to do the pleasure of him who sent me and to make his work complete.

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:4:44 @For Jesus himself said that a prophet has no honour in the country of his birth.

bbe@John:4:45 @So when he came into Galilee, the Galilaeans took him to their hearts because of the things which they had seen him do in Jerusalem at the feast--they themselves having been there at the feast.

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:4:54 @Now this is the second sign which Jesus did after he had come out of Judaea into Galilee.

bbe@John:5:1 @After these things there was a feast of the Jews, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.

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:5:6 @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:5:8 @Jesus said to him, Get up, take your bed 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:5:14 @After a time Jesus came across him in the Temple and said to him, See, you are well and strong; do no more sin for fear a worse thing comes to you.

bbe@John:5:15 @The man went away and said to the Jews that it was Jesus who had made him well.

bbe@John:5:16 @And for this reason the Jews were turned against Jesus, because he was doing these things on the Sabbath.

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:5:27 @And he has given him authority to be judge because he is the Son of man.

bbe@John:5:30 @Of myself I am unable to do anything: as the voice comes to me so I give a decision: and my decision is right because I have no desire to do what is pleasing to myself, but only what is pleasing to him who sent me.

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:6:1 @After these things Jesus went away to the other side of the sea of Galilee--that is, the sea of Tiberias.

bbe@John:6:2 @And a great number of people went after him because they saw the signs which he did on those who were ill.

bbe@John:6:3 @Then Jesus went up the mountain and was seated there with his disciples.

bbe@John:6:5 @Lifting up his eyes, Jesus saw a great number of people coming to where he was, and he said to Philip, Where may we get bread for all these people?

bbe@John:6:8 @One of his disciples, Andrew, the brother of Simon Peter, said to Jesus,

bbe@John:6:10 @Jesus said, Let the people be seated. Now there was much grass in that place. And those seated on the grass were about five thousand.

bbe@John:6:11 @Then Jesus took the cakes and having given praise to God, he gave them to the people who were seated, and the fishes in the same way, as much as they had need of.

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:6:15 @Now when Jesus saw that the people were about to come and take him by force to make him a king, he went away again up the mountain by himself.

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:6:18 @The sea was getting rough because of a strong wind which was blowing.

bbe@John:6:19 @After they had gone three or four miles they saw Jesus walking on the sea and coming near to the boat; and they had great 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:6:24 @So when the people saw that Jesus was not there, or his disciples, they got into those boats and went over to Capernaum looking for Jesus.

bbe@John:6:26 @Jesus, answering them, said, Truly I say to you, You come after me, not because you saw signs, but because you were given the bread and had enough.

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:6:32 @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:6:34 @Ah, Lord, they said, give us that bread for ever!

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:6:41 @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:6:43 @Jesus made answer and said, Do not say things against me, one to another.

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:6:53 @Then Jesus said to them, Truly I say to you, If you do not take the flesh of the Son of man for food, and if you do not take his blood for drink, you have no life in you.

bbe@John:6:57 @As the living Father has sent me, and I have life because of the Father, even so he who takes me for his food will have life because of me.

bbe@John:6:59 @Jesus said these things in the Synagogue while he was teaching at Capernaum.

bbe@John:6:61 @When Jesus became conscious that his disciples were protesting about what he said, he said to them, Does this give you trouble?

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:6:67 @So Jesus said to the twelve, Have you a desire to go away?

bbe@John:6:70 @Then Jesus said, Did I not make a selection of you, the twelve, and one of you is a son of the Evil One?

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:7:1 @After this, Jesus went from place to place in Galilee. He did not go about in Judaea, because the Jews were looking for a chance to put him to death.

bbe@John:7:4 @Because no man does things secretly if he has a desire that men may have knowledge of him. If you do these things, let yourself be seen by all men.

bbe@John:7:6 @Jesus said to them, My time is still to come, but any time is good for you.

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:7:8 @Go you up to the feast: I am not going up now to the feast because my time has not fully come.

bbe@John:7:12 @And there was much discussion about him among the mass of the people. Some said, He is a good man; but others said, No, he is giving people false ideas.

bbe@John:7:14 @Now in the middle of the feast Jesus went up to the Temple and was teaching.

bbe@John:7:16 @Jesus gave them this answer: It is not my teaching, but his who sent me

bbe@John:7:21 @This was the answer of Jesus: I have done one work and you are all surprised at it.

bbe@John:7:23 @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:7:24 @Let not your decisions be based on what you see, but on righteousness.

bbe@John:7:25 @Then some of the people of Jerusalem said, Is not this the man whose death is desired?

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:7:29 @I have knowledge of him because I came from him and he sent me.

bbe@John:7:30 @Then they had a desire to take him: but no man put hands on him because his hour was still to come.

bbe@John:7:32 @This discussion of the people came to the ears of the Pharisees; and the chief priests and the Pharisees sent servants to take 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:7:39 @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:7:43 @So there was a division among the people because of him.

bbe@John:7:50 @Nicodemus--he who had come to Jesus before, being himself one of them--said to them,

bbe@John:7:53 @[And every man went to his house;

bbe@John:8:1 @But Jesus went to the Mountain of Olives.

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:8:9 @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:8:10 @Then Jesus got up, and seeing nobody but the woman, he said to her, Where are the men who said things against you? did no one give a decision against you?

bbe@John:8:11 @And she said, No man, Lord. And Jesus said, And I do not give a decision against you: go, and never do wrong again.]

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:8:14 @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:8:19 @Then they said to him, Where is your Father? Jesus said in answer, You have no knowledge of me or of my Father: if you had knowledge of me you would have knowledge of my Father.

bbe@John:8:20 @Jesus said these words in the place where the offerings were stored, while he was teaching in the Temple: but no man took him because his time was still to come.

bbe@John:8:25 @Then they said to him, Who are you? Jesus said, What I said to you from the first.

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:8:31 @Then Jesus said to the Jews who had faith in him, If you keep my word, then you are truly my disciples;

bbe@John:8:34 @And this was the answer Jesus gave them: Truly I say to you, Everyone who does evil is the servant of sin.

bbe@John:8:35 @Now the servant does not go on living in the house for ever, but the son does.

bbe@John:8:37 @I am conscious that you are Abraham's seed; but you have a desire to put me to death because my word has no place in you.

bbe@John:8:38 @I say the things which I have seen in my Father's house: and you do the things which come to you from your father's house.

bbe@John:8:39 @In answer they said to him, Our father is Abraham. Jesus said to them, If you were Abraham's children you would do what Abraham did.

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:8:45 @But because I say what is true, you have no belief in me.

bbe@John:8:47 @He who is a child of God gives ear to the words of God: your ears are not open to them because you are not from God.

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:8:54 @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:8:58 @Jesus said to them, Truly I say to you, Before Abraham came into being, I am.

bbe@John:8:59 @So they took up stones to send at him: but Jesus got secretly out of their way and went out of the Temple.

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:9:11 @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:9:14 @Now the day on which the earth was mixed by Jesus and the man's eyes were made open was the Sabbath.

bbe@John:9:22 @They said this because of their fear of the Jews: for the Jews had come to an agreement that if any man said that Jesus was the Christ he would be put out of the Synagogue.

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:9:26 @Then they said to him, What did he do to you? how did he give you the use of your eyes?

bbe@John:9:30 @The man said in answer, Why, here is a strange thing! You have no knowledge where he comes from though he gave me the use of my eyes.

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:9:37 @Jesus said to him, You have seen him; it is he who is talking to you.

bbe@John:9:39 @And Jesus said, I came into this world to be a judge, so that those who do not see may see, and those who see may become blind.

bbe@John:9:41 @Jesus said to them, If you were blind you would have no sin: but now that you say, We see; your sin is there still.

bbe@John:10:5 @They will not go after another who is not their keeper, but will go from him in flight, because his voice is strange to them.

bbe@John:10:6 @In this Jesus was teaching them in the form of a story: but what he said was not clear to them.

bbe@John:10:7 @So Jesus said again, Truly I say to you, I am the door of the sheep.

bbe@John:10:13 @Because he is a servant he has no interest in the sheep.

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:10:19 @There was a division again among the Jews because of these words.

bbe@John:10:22 @Then came the feast of the opening of the Temple in Jerusalem: it was winter;

bbe@John:10:23 @And Jesus was walking in the Temple, in Solomon's covered way.

bbe@John:10:24 @Then the Jews came round him, saying, how long are you going to keep us in doubt? If you are the Christ, say so clearly.

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:10:26 @But you have no belief because you are not of my sheep.

bbe@John:10:32 @Jesus said to them in answer, I have let you see a number of good works from the Father; for which of those works are you stoning me?

bbe@John:10:33 @This was their answer: We are not stoning you for a good work but for evil words; because being a man you make yourself God.

bbe@John:10:34 @In answer, Jesus said, Is there not a saying in your law, I said, You are gods?

bbe@John:10:36 @Do you say of him whom the Father made holy and sent into the world, Your words are evil; because I said, I am God's Son?

bbe@John:11:1 @Now a certain man named Lazarus was ill; he was of Bethany, the town of Mary and her sister Martha.

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:11:5 @Now Jesus had love in his heart for Martha and her sister and Lazarus.

bbe@John:11:6 @So when the news came to him that Lazarus was ill, he did not go from the place where he was for two days.

bbe@John:11:7 @Then after that time he said to his disciples, Let us go into Judaea again.

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:11:10 @But if a man goes about in the night, he may have a fall because the light is not in him.

bbe@John:11:11 @These things said he: and after that he said to them, Lazarus our friend is at rest; but I go so that I may make him come out of his sleep

bbe@John:11:13 @Jesus, however, was talking of his death: but they had the idea that he was talking about taking rest in sleep.

bbe@John:11:14 @Then Jesus said to them clearly, Lazarus is dead.

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:11:17 @Now when Jesus came, he made the discovery that Lazarus had been put into the earth four days before.

bbe@John:11:18 @Now Bethany was near to Jerusalem, about two miles away;

bbe@John:11:20 @When Martha had the news that Jesus was on the way, she went out to him, but Mary did not go from the house.

bbe@John:11:21 @Then Martha said to Jesus, Lord, if you had been here my brother would not be dead.

bbe@John:11:23 @Jesus said to her, Your brother will come to life again.

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:11:30 @Now Jesus had not at this time come into the town, but was still in the place where Martha had seen him.

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:11:32 @When Mary came to where Jesus was and saw him, she went down at his feet, saying, Lord, if you had been here my brother would not be dead.

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:11:35 @And Jesus himself was weeping.

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:11:39 @Jesus said, Take away the stone. Martha, the sister of him who was dead, said, Lord, by this time the body will be smelling, for he has been dead four days.

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:11:41 @So they took away the stone. And Jesus, looking up to heaven, said, Father, I give praise to you for hearing me.

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:11:43 @Then he said in a loud voice, Lazarus, come out!

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:11:45 @Then a number of the Jews who had come to Mary and had seen the things which Jesus did had belief in him.

bbe@John:11:46 @But some of them went to the Pharisees with the news of what Jesus had done.

bbe@John:11:51 @He did not say this of himself, but being the high priest that year he said, as a prophet, that Jesus would be put to death for the nation;

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:11:55 @Now the Passover of the Jews was near, and numbers of people went up from the country to Jerusalem to make themselves clean before the Passover.

bbe@John:11:56 @They were looking for Jesus and saying to one another while they were in the Temple, What is your opinion? Will he not come to the feast?

bbe@John:12:1 @Then, six days before the Passover, Jesus came to Bethany where Lazarus was, whom Jesus had made to come back from the dead.

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:12:7 @Then Jesus said, Let her be. Let her keep what she has for the day of my death.

bbe@John:12:9 @Then a great number of the Jews had news that he was there: and they came, not only because of Jesus, but so that they might see Lazarus who had been dead and to whom he had given life.

bbe@John:12:10 @Now there was talk among the chief priests of putting Lazarus to death;

bbe@John:12:11 @For because of him a great number of the Jews went away and had belief in Jesus.

bbe@John:12:12 @The day after, a great number of people who were there for the feast, when they had the news that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem,

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:12:21 @They came to Philip, who was of Beth-saida in Galilee, and made a request, saying, Sir, we have a desire to see Jesus.

bbe@John:12:22 @Philip went and gave word of it to Andrew; and Andrew went with Philip to Jesus.

bbe@John:12:23 @And Jesus said to them in answer, The hour of the glory of the Son of man has come.

bbe@John:12:30 @Jesus said in answer, This voice came not for me but for you.

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:12:39 @For this reason they were unable to have belief, because Isaiah said again,

bbe@John:12:41 @(Isaiah said these words because he saw his glory. His words were about him.)

bbe@John:12:42 @However, a number even of the rulers had belief in him, but because of the Pharisees they did not say so openly for fear that they might be shut out from the Synagogue:

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: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:13:3 @Jesus, being conscious that the Father had put everything into his hands, and that he came from God and was going to God,

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:13:10 @Jesus said to him, He who is bathed has need only to have his feet washed and then he is clean all over: and you, my disciples, are clean, but not all of you.

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:13:23 @There was at table one of his disciples, the one dear to Jesus, resting his head on Jesus' breast.

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:13:27 @And when Judas took the bread Satan went into him. Then Jesus said to him, Do quickly what you have to do.

bbe@John:13:29 @Some were of the opinion that because Judas kept the money-bag Jesus said to him, Get the things we have need of for the feast; or, that he was to give something to the poor.

bbe@John:13:31 @Then when he had gone out, Jesus said, Now is glory given to the Son of man, and God is given glory in him.

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:13:38 @Jesus said in answer, Will you give up your life for me? Truly I say to you, Before the cry of the cock you will have said three times that you are not my disciple.

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:14:6 @Jesus said to him, I am the true and living way: no one comes to the Father but by me.

bbe@John:14:8 @Philip said to him, Lord, let us see the Father, and we have need of nothing more.

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:14:11 @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:14:19 @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:14:22 @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:14:28 @Keep in mind how I said to you, I go away and come to you again. If you had love for me you would be glad, because I am going to the Father: for the Father is greater than I.

bbe@John:14:30 @After this I will not say much to you, because the ruler of this world comes: and he has no power over me;

bbe@John:14:31 @But he comes so that the world may see that I have love for the Father, and that I am doing as I am ordered by the Father. Get up, and let us go.

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:15:15 @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:15:19 @If you were of the world, you would be loved by the world: but because you are not of the world, but I have taken you out of the world, you are hated by the world

bbe@John:15:21 @They will do all this to you because of my name--because they have no knowledge of him who sent me.

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:15:27 @And you, in addition, will give witness because you have been with me from the first.

bbe@John:16:3 @They will do these things to you because they have not had knowledge of the Father or of me.

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:16:6 @But your hearts are full of sorrow because I have said these things.

bbe@John:16:8 @And he, when he comes, will make the world conscious of sin, and of righteousness, and of being judged:

bbe@John:16:9 @Of sin, because they have not faith in me;

bbe@John:16:10 @Of righteousness, because I go to the Father and you will see me no more;

bbe@John:16:11 @Of being judged, because the ruler of this world has been judged.

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:16:18 @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:16:21 @When a woman is about to give birth she has sorrow, because her hour is come; but when she has given birth to the child, the pain is put out of her mind by the joy that a man has come into the world

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:16:31 @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:17:1 @Jesus said these things; then, lifting his eyes to heaven, he said, Father, the time has now come; give glory to your Son, so that the Son may give glory to you:

bbe@John:17:3 @And this is eternal life: to have knowledge of you, the only true God, and of him whom you have sent, even Jesus Christ.

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:17:9 @My prayer is for them: my prayer is not for the world, but for those whom you have given to me, because they are yours

bbe@John:17:14 @I have given your word to them; and they are hated by the world, because they are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.

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:17:24 @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: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:18:4 @Then Jesus, having knowledge of everything which was coming on him, went forward and said to them, Who are you looking for?

bbe@John:18:5 @Their answer was, Jesus the Nazarene. Jesus said, I am he. And Judas, who was false to him, was there at their side.

bbe@John:18:7 @So again he put the question to them, Who are you looking for? And they said, Jesus the Nazarene.

bbe@John:18:8 @Jesus made answer, I have said that I am he; if you are looking for me, let these men go away.

bbe@John:18:11 @Then Jesus said to Peter, Put back your sword: am I not to take the cup which my Father has given to me?

bbe@John:18:12 @Then the band and the chief captain and the police took Jesus and put cords round him.

bbe@John:18:13 @They took him first to Annas, because Annas was the father-in-law of Caiaphas who was the high priest that year.

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:18:18 @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:18:19 @Then the high priest put questions to Jesus about his disciples and his teaching.

bbe@John:18:20 @Jesus made answer, I said things openly to the world at all times; I have given my teaching in the Synagogues and in the Temple to which all the Jews come; and I have said nothing secretly.

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:18:28 @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:18:32 @(That the word of Jesus might come true, pointing to the sort of death he would have.)

bbe@John:18:33 @Then Pilate went back into the Praetorium and sent for Jesus and said to him, Are you the King of the Jews?

bbe@John:18:34 @Jesus made answer, Do you say this of yourself, or did others say it about me?

bbe@John:18:36 @Jesus said in answer, My kingdom is not of this world: if my kingdom was of this world, my disciples would have made a good fight to keep me out of the hands of the Jews: but my kingdom is not here.

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:19:1 @Then Pilate took Jesus and had him whipped with cords.

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:19:9 @And he went again into the Praetorium and said to Jesus, Where do you come from? But Jesus gave him no answer.

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:19:13 @So when these words came to Pilate's ear, he took Jesus out, seating himself in the judge's seat in a place named in Hebrew, Gabbatha, or the Stone Floor.

bbe@John:19:16 @So then he gave him up to them to be put to death on the cross. And they took Jesus away;

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:19:23 @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:19:25 @Now by the side of the cross of Jesus were his mother, and his mother's sister Mary, the wife of Cleopas, and Mary Magdalene.

bbe@John:19:26 @So when Jesus saw his mother and the disciple who was dear to him, he said to his mother, Mother, there is your son!

bbe@John:19:27 @Then he said to the disciple, There is your mother! And from that hour the disciple took her to his house.

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:19:30 @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:19:33 @But when they came to Jesus, they saw that he was dead by this time, and so his legs were not broken;

bbe@John:19:38 @After these things, Joseph of Arimathaea, who was a disciple of Jesus, but secretly for fear of the Jews, made a request to Pilate to let him take away the body of Jesus: and Pilate said he might do so. So he went and took away his body.

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:20:2 @Then she went running to Simon Peter, and to the other disciple who was loved by Jesus, and said to them, They have taken away the Lord out of the place of the dead and we have no knowledge where they have put him.

bbe@John:20:10 @So then the disciples went away again to their houses.

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:20:13 @They said to her, Woman, why are you weeping? She said to them, Because they have taken away my Lord, and I have no knowledge where they have put him.

bbe@John:20:14 @And then looking round, she saw Jesus there, but had no idea that it was Jesus.

bbe@John:20:15 @Jesus said to her, Woman, why are you weeping? who are you looking for? She, taking him for the gardener, said to him, Sir, if you have taken him away from here, say where you have put him and I will take him away.

bbe@John:20:16 @Jesus said to her, Mary! Turning, she said to him in Hebrew, Rabboni! (which is to say, Master).

bbe@John:20:17 @Jesus said to her, Do not put your hand on me, for I have not gone up to the Father: but go to my brothers and say to them, I go up to my Father and your Father, to my God and your God.

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:20:24 @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:20:29 @Jesus said to him, Because you have seen me you have belief: a blessing will be on those who have belief though they have not seen me!

bbe@John:20:30 @A number of other signs Jesus did before his disciples which are not recorded in this book:

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:21:2 @Simon Peter, Thomas named Didymus, Nathanael of Cana in Galilee, the sons of Zebedee, and two others of his disciples were all together.

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:21:5 @So Jesus said to them, Children, have you taken any fish? They made answer, No.

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:21:10 @Jesus said to them, Get some of the fish which you have now taken.

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:21:14 @Now this was the third time that Jesus let himself be seen by the disciples after he had come back from the dead

bbe@John:21:15 @Then when they had taken food, Jesus said to Simon Peter, Simon, son of John, is your love for me greater than the love of these others? He said to him, Yes, Lord; you are certain of my love for you. He said to him, Then give my lambs food.

bbe@John:21:16 @Again, a second time, he said to him, Simon, son of John, have you any love for me? Yes, Lord, he said, you are certain of my love for you. Then take care of my sheep, said Jesus.

bbe@John:21:17 @He said to him a third time, Simon, son of John, am I dear to you? Now Peter was troubled in his heart because he put the question a third time, Am I dear to you? And he said to him, Lord, you have knowledge of all things; you see that you are dear to me. Jesus said to him, Then give my sheep food.

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:21:21 @Seeing him, Peter said to Jesus, What about this man?

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:21:25 @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:1:1 @I have given an earlier account, O Theophilus, of all the things which Jesus did, and of his teaching from the first,

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:1:8 @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:1:11 @And said, O men of Galilee, why are you looking up into heaven? This Jesus, who was taken from you into heaven, will come again, in the same way as you saw him go into heaven.

bbe@Acts:1:12 @Then they went back to Jerusalem from the mountain named Olivet, which is near Jerusalem, a Sabbath day's journey away.

bbe@Acts:1:13 @And when they came in, they went up into the room where they were living; Peter and John and James and Andrew, Philip and Thomas, Bartholomew and Matthew, James, the son of Alphaeus, and Simon the Zealot, and Judas, the son of James.

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:1:17 @For he was numbered among us, and had his part in our work.

bbe@Acts:1:19 @And this came to the knowledge of all those who were living in Jerusalem, so that the field was named in their language, Akel-dama, or, The field of blood.)

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:1:23 @And they made selection of two, Joseph, named Barsabbas, whose other name was Justus, and Matthias.

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:2:5 @Now there were living at Jerusalem, Jews, God-fearing men, from every nation under heaven.

bbe@Acts:2:6 @And when this sound came to their ears, they all came together, and were greatly surprised because every man was hearing the words of the disciples in his special language.

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:2:9 @Men of Parthia, Media, and Elam, and those living in Mesopotamia, in Judaea and Cappadocia, in Pontus and Asia,

bbe@Acts:2:11 @Men of Crete and Arabia, to all of us they are talking in our different languages, of the great works of God.

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:2:22 @Men of Israel, give ear to these words: Jesus of Nazareth, a man who had the approval of God, as was made clear to you by the great works and signs and wonders which God did by him among you, as you yourselves have knowledge,

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:2:26 @And for this cause my heart was glad and my tongue full of joy, and my flesh will be resting in hope:

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:2:32 @This Jesus God has given back to life, of which we all are witnesses.

bbe@Acts:2:36 @For this reason, let all Israel be certain that this Jesus, whom you put to death on the cross, God has made Lord and Christ.

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:2:41 @Then those who gave hearing to his words had baptism: and about three thousand souls were joined to them that day.

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:3:6 @But Peter said, I have no silver or gold, but what I have, that I give to you. In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, get up on your feet.

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:3:13 @The God of Abraham, of Isaac, and of Jacob, the God of our fathers, has given glory to his servant Jesus; whom you gave up, turning your backs on him, when Pilate had made the decision to let him go free.

bbe@Acts:3:17 @And now, my brothers, I am conscious that you did this, as did your rulers, without knowledge.

bbe@Acts:3:20 @And that he may send the Christ who was marked out for you from the first, even Jesus:

bbe@Acts:4:2 @Being greatly troubled because they were teaching the people and preaching Jesus as an example of the coming back from the dead.

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:4:10 @Take note, all of you, and all the people of Israel, that in the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom you put to death on the cross, whom God gave back from the dead, even through him is this man now before you completely well

bbe@Acts:4:11 @He is the stone which you builders had no use for, but which has been made the chief stone of the building.

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:4:15 @But when they had given them orders to go out of the Sanhedrin, they had a discussion among themselves,

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:4:18 @And they sent for them, and gave them orders not to make statements or give teaching in the name of Jesus.

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:4:21 @And when they had said more sharp words to them, they let them go, not seeing what punishment they might give them, because of the people; for all men were giving praise to God for what had taken place.

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:4:30 @While your hand is stretched out to do works of mercy; so that signs and wonders may be done through the name of your holy servant Jesus.

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:4:34 @And no one among them was in need; for everyone who had land or houses, exchanging them for money, took the price of them,

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: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:5:16 @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:5:24 @Now, at these words, the captain of the Temple and the chief priests were greatly troubled about what might be the end of this business.

bbe@Acts:5:28 @We gave you very clear orders not to give teaching in this name: and now Jerusalem is full of your teaching, and you are attempting to make us responsible for this man's death.

bbe@Acts:5:30 @The God of our fathers gave Jesus back to life, whom you had put to death, hanging him on a tree.

bbe@Acts:5:40 @And he seemed to them to be right: and they sent for the Apostles, and, after having them whipped and giving them orders to give no teaching in the name of Jesus, they let them go.

bbe@Acts:5:42 @And every day, in the Temple and privately, they went on teaching and preaching Jesus as the Christ.

bbe@Acts:6:1 @Now in those days, when the number of the disciples was increasing, protests were made by the Greek Jews against the Hebrews, because their widows were not taken care of in the distribution of food every day.

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:6:14 @For he has said in our hearing that this Jesus of Nazareth will put this place to destruction and make changes in the rules which were handed down to us by Moses

bbe@Acts:7:10 @And made him free from all his troubles, and gave him wisdom and the approval of Pharaoh, king of Egypt, who made him ruler over Egypt and all his house.

bbe@Acts:7:20 @At which time Moses came to birth, and he was very beautiful; and he was kept for three months in his father's house:

bbe@Acts:7:27 @But the man who was doing wrong to his neighbour, pushing him away, said, Who made you a ruler and a judge over us?

bbe@Acts:7:40 @And saying to Aaron, Make us gods to go before us: as for this Moses, who took us out of the land of Egypt, we have no idea what has become of him.

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:7:47 @But Solomon was the builder of his house.

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:7:49 @Heaven is the seat of my power, and earth is a resting-place for my feet: what sort of house will you make for me, says the Lord, or what is my place of rest?

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:7:59 @And Stephen, while he was being stoned, made prayer to God, saying, Lord Jesus, take my spirit.

bbe@Acts:8:1 @And Saul gave approval to his death. Now at that time a violent attack was started against the church in Jerusalem; and all but the Apostles went away into all parts of Judaea and Samaria.

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:8:9 @But there was a certain man named Simon, who in the past had been a wonder-worker and a cause of surprise to the people of Samaria, saying that he himself was a great man:

bbe@Acts:8:11 @And they gave attention to him, because for a long time his wonder-working powers had kept them under his control.

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:8:14 @Now when the Apostles at Jerusalem had news that the people of Samaria had taken the word of God into their hearts, they sent to them Peter and John;

bbe@Acts:8:16 @For up to that time he had not come on any of them; only baptism had been given to them in the name of the Lord Jesus.

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:8:21 @You have no part in this business, because your heart is not right before God.

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:8:26 @But an angel of the Lord said to Philip, Get up, and go to the south, to the road which goes from Jerusalem to Gaza, through the waste land.

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:8:33 @Being of low degree, his cause was not given a hearing: who has knowledge of his family? for his life is cut off from the earth.

bbe@Acts:8:35 @So Philip, starting from this writing, gave him the good news about Jesus.

bbe@Acts:8:40 @But Philip came to Azotus, and went through all the towns, preaching the good news, till he came to Caesarea.

bbe@Acts:9:2 @And made a request for letters from him to the Synagogues of Damascus, so that if there were any of the Way there, men or women, he might take them as prisoners to Jerusalem.

bbe@Acts:9:3 @And while he was journeying, he came near Damascus; and suddenly he saw a light from heaven shining round him;

bbe@Acts:9:5 @And he said, Who are you, Lord? And he said, I am Jesus, whom you are attacking:

bbe@Acts:9:8 @And Saul got up from the earth, and when his eyes were open, he saw nothing; and he was guided by the hand into Damascus.

bbe@Acts:9:10 @Now there was a certain disciple at Damascus, named Ananias; and the Lord said to him in a vision, Ananias! and he said, Here I am, Lord.

bbe@Acts:9:11 @And the Lord said to him, Get up, and go to the street which is named Straight, and make search at the house of Judas for one named Saul of Tarsus: for he is at prayer;

bbe@Acts:9:13 @But Ananias said, Lord, I have had accounts of this man from a number of people, how much evil he has done to your saints at Jerusalem:

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:9:19 @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:9:20 @And straight away, in the Synagogues, he was preaching Jesus as the Son of God

bbe@Acts:9:21 @And all those hearing him were full of wonder and said, Is not this the man who in Jerusalem was attacking all the worshippers of this name? and he had come here so that he might take them as prisoners before the chief priests.

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:9:26 @And when he came to Jerusalem, he made an attempt to be joined to the disciples, but they were all in fear of him, not taking him for a disciple.

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:9:34 @And Peter said to him, Aeneas, Jesus Christ makes you well: get up and make your bed. And straight away he got up.

bbe@Acts:9:38 @And because Lydda was near Joppa, the disciples, having knowledge that Peter was there, sent two men to him, requesting him to come to them straight away.

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:10:3 @He saw in a vision, clearly, at about the ninth hour of the day, an angel of the Lord coming to him and saying to him, Cornelius!

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:10:9 @Now the day after, when they were on their journey and were near the town, Peter went up to the top of the house for prayer, about the sixth hour:

bbe@Acts:10:17 @Now while Peter was in doubt as to the purpose of this vision, the men who were sent by Cornelius, having made search for Simon's house, came to the door,

bbe@Acts:10:22 @And they said, Cornelius, a captain, an upright and God-fearing man, respected by all the nation of the Jews, had word from God by an angel to send for you to his house, and to give hearing to your words.

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:10:25 @And when Peter came in, Cornelius came to him and, falling down at his feet, gave him worship.

bbe@Acts:10:30 @And Cornelius said, Four days from now I was in my house in prayer at the ninth hour; and I saw before me a man in shining clothing,

bbe@Acts:10:31 @Who said, Cornelius, your prayer has come to the ears of God, and your offerings are kept in his memory.

bbe@Acts:10:32 @Send, then, to Joppa, and get Simon, named Peter, to come to you; he is living in the house of Simon, a leather-worker, by the sea.

bbe@Acts:10:35 @But in every nation, the man who has fear of him and does righteousness is pleasing to him.

bbe@Acts:10:36 @The word which he sent to the children of Israel, giving the good news of peace through Jesus Christ (who is Lord of all)--

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:10:45 @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:10:48 @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:11:11 @And at that minute, three men, sent from Caesarea, came to the house where we were

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:11:13 @And he gave us an account of how he had seen the angel in his house, saying, Send to Joppa, and get Simon, named Peter, to come to you;

bbe@Acts:11:15 @And, while I was talking to them, the Holy Spirit came on them, as on us at first.

bbe@Acts:11:17 @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:11:18 @And hearing these things they said nothing more, but gave glory to God, saying, Then to the Gentiles as to us has God given a change of heart, so that they may have life.

bbe@Acts:11:19 @Then those who had gone away at the time of the trouble about Stephen, went as far as Phoenicia and Cyprus, preaching to the Jews only.

bbe@Acts:11:20 @But some of them, men of Cyprus and Cyrene, when they came to Antioch, gave the good news about the Lord Jesus to the Greeks.

bbe@Acts:11:22 @And news of them came to the ears of the church at Jerusalem: and they sent Barnabas as far as Antioch:

bbe@Acts:11:25 @Then he went on to Tarsus, looking for Saul;

bbe@Acts:11:27 @Now in those days prophets came from Jerusalem to 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:12:12 @And when he became clear about this, he went to the house of Mary, the mother of John named Mark, where a number of them had come together for prayer.

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:12:23 @And straight away the angel of the Lord sent a disease on him, because he did not give the glory to God: and his flesh was wasted away by worms, and so he came to his end.

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:13:1 @Now there were at Antioch, in the church there, prophets and teachers, Barnabas, and Symeon who was named Niger, and Lucius of Cyrene, and Manaen, a relation of Herod the king, and Saul.

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:13:6 @And when they had gone through all the island to Paphos, they came across a certain wonder-worker and false prophet, a Jew whose name was Bar-Jesus;

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:13:10 @O you, who are full of false tricks and evil ways, a son of the Evil One, hating all righteousness, will you for ever be turning people from the right ways 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:13:23 @From this man's seed has God given to Israel a Saviour, even Jesus, as he gave his word;

bbe@Acts:13:26 @My brothers, children of the family of Abraham, and those among you who have the fear of God, to us the word of this salvation is sent.

bbe@Acts:13:27 @For the men of Jerusalem and their rulers, having no knowledge of him, or of the sayings of the prophets which come to their ears every Sabbath day, gave effect to them by judging him.

bbe@Acts:13:28 @And though no cause of death was seen in him, they made a request to Pilate that he might be put to death.

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:13:35 @Because he says in another Psalm, You will not let your Holy One see destruction.

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:13:47 @For so the Lord has given us orders, saying, I have given you for a light to the Gentiles so that you may be for salvation to the ends of the earth.

bbe@Acts:13:51 @But they, shaking off the dust of that place from their feet, came to Iconium.

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:14:8 @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:14:11 @And when the people saw what Paul had done, they said in a loud voice, in the language of Lycaonia, The gods have come down to us in the form of men.

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:14:17 @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: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:15:7 @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:15:11 @But we have faith that we will get salvation through the grace of the Lord Jesus in the same way as they.

bbe@Acts:15:24 @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:15:26 @Men who have given up their lives for the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.

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:15:36 @And after some days, Paul said to Barnabas, Let us go back and see the brothers in every town where we have given the word of God, and see how they are.

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: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:16:4 @And on their way through the towns, they gave them the rules which had been made by the Apostles and the rulers of the church at Jerusalem, so that they might keep them.

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:16:9 @And Paul had a vision in the night; a man of Macedonia came, requesting him, and saying, Come over into Macedonia and give us help.

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:16:14 @And a certain woman named Lydia, a trader in purple cloth of the town of Thyatira, and a God-fearing woman, gave ear to us: whose heart the Lord made open to give attention to the things which Paul was saying.

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:16:17 @She came after Paul and us, crying out and saying, These men are the servants of the Most High God, who are giving you news of the way of salvation.

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:16:21 @Teaching rules of living which it is not right for us to have or to keep, being Romans

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:16:32 @And they gave the word of the Lord to him and to all who were in his house.

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:16:37 @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:16:40 @And they came out of the prison and went to the house of Lydia: and when they had seen the brothers they gave them comfort and went away.

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:17:3 @Saying to them clearly and openly that Christ had to be put to death and come back to life again; and that this Jesus, whom, he said, I am preaching to you, is the Christ.

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:17:7 @Whom Jason has taken into his house: and they are acting against the orders of Caesar, saying that there is another king, Jesus.

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:17:17 @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:17:19 @And they took him to Mars' Hill, saying, Will you make clear to us what is this new teaching of yours?

bbe@Acts:17:20 @For you seem to us to say strange things, and we have a desire to get the sense of them.

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:17:27 @So that they might make search for God, in order, if possible, to get knowledge of him and make discovery of him, though he is not far from every one of us:

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:17:31 @Because a day has been fixed in which all the world will be judged in righteousness by the man who has been marked out by him for this work; of which he has given a sign to all men by giving him back from the dead.

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:18:5 @And when Silas and Timothy came down from Macedonia, Paul was completely given up to the word, preaching to the Jews that the Christ was Jesus.

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:18:19 @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:18:21 @And went from them, saying, I will come back to you if God lets me; and he took ship from Ephesus.

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:18:28 @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:19:4 @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:19:5 @And hearing this, they had baptism in the name of the Lord Jesus.

bbe@Acts:19:9 @But because some of the people were hard-hearted and would not give hearing, saying evil words about the Way before the people, he went away from them, and kept the disciples separate, reasoning every day in the school of Tyrannus.

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:19:17 @And this came to the ears of all those, Jews and Greeks, who were living at Ephesus; and fear came on them all, and the name of the Lord Jesus was made great.

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:19:21 @Now after these things were ended, Paul came to a decision that when he had gone through Macedonia and Achaia he would go to Jerusalem, saying, After I have been there, I have a desire to see Rome.

bbe@Acts:19:22 @And having sent two of his helpers, Timothy and Erastus, into Macedonia, he himself went on living in Asia for a time.

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:19:28 @And hearing this, they were very angry, crying out and saying, Great is Diana of Ephesus.

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:19:31 @And some of the rulers of Asia, being his friends, sent to him, requesting him seriously not to put himself in danger by going into the theatre.

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:20:3 @And when he had been there three months, because the Jews had made a secret design against him when he was about to take ship for Syria, he made a decision to go back through Macedonia.

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:20:9 @And a certain young man named Eutychus, who was seated in the window, went into a deep sleep; and while Paul went on talking, being overcome by sleep, he had a fall from the third floor, and was taken up dead.

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:20:16 @For Paul's purpose was to go past Ephesus, so that he might not be kept in Asia; for he was going quickly, in order, if possible, to be at Jerusalem on the day of Pentecost.

bbe@Acts:20:17 @And from Miletus he sent to Ephesus for the rulers of the church.

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:20:21 @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:20:24 @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:20:25 @And now I am conscious that you, among whom I have gone about preaching the kingdom, will not see my face again.

bbe@Acts:20:29 @I am conscious that after I am gone, evil wolves will come in among you, doing damage to the flock;

bbe@Acts:20:35 @In all things I was an example to you of how, in your lives, you are to give help to the feeble, and keep in memory the words of the Lord Jesus, how he himself said, There is a greater blessing in giving than in getting.

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:21:3 @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:21:6 @We said our last words to one another, and got into the ship, and they went back to their houses.

bbe@Acts:21:8 @And on the day after, we went away and came to Caesarea, where we were guests in the house of Philip, the preacher, who was one of the seven.

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:21:12 @And hearing these things, we and those who were living in that place made request to him not to go to Jerusalem.

bbe@Acts:21:13 @Then Paul said, What are you doing, weeping and wounding my heart? for I am ready, not only to be a prisoner, but to be put to death at Jerusalem for the name of the Lord Jesus.

bbe@Acts:21:15 @And after these days we got ready and went up to Jerusalem.

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:21:17 @And when we came to Jerusalem, the brothers were pleased to see us.

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:21:29 @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:21:31 @And while they were attempting to put him to death, news came to the chief captain of the band that all Jerusalem was out of control.

bbe@Acts:21:34 @And some said one thing and some another, among the people: and as he was not able to get a knowledge of the facts because of the noise, he gave orders for Paul to be taken into the army building.

bbe@Acts:21:35 @And when he came on to the steps, he was lifted up by the armed men, because of the force of the people;

bbe@Acts:21:38 @Are you by chance the Egyptian who, before this, got the people worked up against the government and took four thousand men of the Assassins out into the waste land?

bbe@Acts:21:39 @But Paul said, I am a Jew of Tarsus in Cilicia, which is not an unimportant town: I make a request to you to let me say a word to the people.

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:22:8 @And I, answering, said, Who are you; Lord? And he said to me, I am Jesus of Nazareth, whom you are attacking.

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:22:17 @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:22:23 @And while they were crying out, and pulling off their clothing, and sending dust into the air,

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:23:15 @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:23:26 @Claudius Lysias, to the most noble ruler, Felix, peace be with you.

bbe@Acts:23:35 @I will give hearing to your cause, he said, when those who are against you have come. And he gave orders for him to be kept in Herod's Praetorium.

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:24:2 @And when he had been sent for, Tertullus, starting his statement, said, Because by you we are living in peace, and through your wisdom wrongs are put right for this nation,

bbe@Acts:24:3 @In all things and in all places we are conscious of our great debt to you, most noble Felix.

bbe@Acts:24:5 @For this man, in our opinion, is a cause of trouble, a maker of attacks on the government among Jews through all the empire, and a chief mover in the society of the Nazarenes:

bbe@Acts:24:10 @Then when the ruler had given him a sign to make his answer, Paul said, Because I have knowledge that you have been a judge over this nation for a number of years, I am glad to make my answer:

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:24:22 @But Felix, who had a more detailed knowledge of the Way, put them off, saying, When Lysias, the chief captain, comes down, I will give attention to your business.

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:24:25 @And while he was talking about righteousness and self-control and the judging which was to come, Felix had great fear and said, Go away for the present, and when the right time comes I will send for you.

bbe@Acts:24:27 @But after two years Porcius Festus took the place of Felix, who, desiring to have the approval of the Jews, kept Paul in chains.

bbe@Acts:25:1 @So Festus, having come into that part of the country which was under his rule, after three days went up to Jerusalem from Caesarea.

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:25:4 @But Festus, in answer, said that Paul was being kept in prison at Caesarea, and that in a short time he himself was going there.

bbe@Acts:25:7 @And when he came, the Jews who had come down from Jerusalem came round him, and made all sorts of serious statements against him, which were not supported by the facts.

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:25:11 @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:25:13 @Now when some days had gone by, King Agrippa and Bernice came to Caesarea and went to see Festus.

bbe@Acts:25:14 @And as they were there for some days, Festus gave them Paul's story, saying, There is a certain man here who was put in prison by Felix:

bbe@Acts:25:15 @Against whom the chief priests and the rulers of the Jews made a statement when I was at Jerusalem, requesting me to give a decision 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:25:20 @And as I had not enough knowledge for the discussion of these things, I made the suggestion to him to go to Jerusalem and be judged there.

bbe@Acts:25:22 @And Agrippa said to Festus, I have a desire to give the man a hearing myself. Tomorrow, he said, you may give him a hearing.

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:25:25 @But, in my opinion, there is no cause of death in him, and as he himself has made a request to be judged by Caesar, I have said that I would send him.

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:26:1 @And Agrippa said to Paul, You may put your cause before us. Then Paul, stretching out his hand, made his answer, saying:

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:26:6 @And now I am here to be judged because of the hope given by God's word to our fathers;

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:26:12 @Then, when I was journeying to Damascus with the authority and orders of the chief priests,

bbe@Acts:26:15 @And I said, Who are you, Lord? And the Lord said, I am Jesus, whom you are attacking.

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:26:24 @And when he made his answer in these words, Festus said in a loud voice, Paul, you are off your head; your great learning has made you unbalanced.

bbe@Acts:26:25 @Then Paul said, I am not off my head, most noble Festus, but my words are true and wise.

bbe@Acts:26:31 @And when they had gone away they said to one another, This man has done nothing which might give cause for death or prison.

bbe@Acts:26:32 @And Agrippa said to Festus, This man might have been made free, if he had not put his cause before Caesar.

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:27:3 @And on the day after, we came to Sidon; and Julius was kind to Paul, and let him go to see his friends and take a rest.

bbe@Acts:27:4 @And sailing again from there, we went on under cover of Cyprus, because the wind was against 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:27:7 @And when we had gone on slowly for a long time, and had had hard work getting across to Cnidus, for the wind was against us, we went under cover of Crete, in the direction of Salmone;

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:27:17 @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:27:19 @And on the third day, they let all the sailing apparatus go over the side.

bbe@Acts:27:20 @And as we had not seen the sun or stars for a long time, and a great storm was on us, all hope of salvation was gone.

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:28:7 @Now near that place there was some land, the property of the chief man of the island, who was named Publius; who very kindly took us into his house as his guests for three days.

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:28:10 @Then they gave us great honour, and, when we went away, they put into the ship whatever things we were in need of.

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:28:16 @And when we came into Rome, they let Paul have a house for himself and the armed man who kept watch over him.

bbe@Acts:28:17 @Then after three days he sent for the chief men of the Jews: and when they had come together, he said to them, My brothers, though I had done nothing against the people or the ways of our fathers, I was given, a prisoner from Jerusalem, into the hands of the Romans.

bbe@Acts:28:18 @Who, when they had put questions to me, were ready to let me go free, because there was no cause of death in me.

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:28:21 @And they said to him, We have not had letters from Judaea about you, and no one of the brothers has come to us here to give an account or say any evil about you.

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:28:30 @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:1:4 @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:1:6 @Among whom you in the same way have been marked out to be disciples of Jesus Christ:

bbe@Romans:1:7 @To all those who are in Rome, loved by God, marked out as saints: Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

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:1:12 @That is to say, that all of us may be comforted together by the faith which is in you and in me.

bbe@Romans:1:16 @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:1:25 @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:1:26 @For this reason God gave them up to evil passions, and their women were changing the natural use into one which is unnatural:

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:1:28 @And because they had not the mind to keep God in their knowledge, God gave them up to an evil mind, to do those things which are not right;

bbe@Romans:2:2 @And we are conscious that God is a true judge against those who do such things.

bbe@Romans:2:5 @But by your hard and unchanged heart you are storing up wrath for yourself in the day of the revelation of God's judging in righteousness;

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:2:15 @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:2:22 @You who say that a man may not be untrue to his wife, are you true to yours? you who are a hater of images, do you do wrong to the house of God?

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:3:2 @Much in every way: first of all because the words of God were given to them.

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:3:7 @But if, because I am untrue, God being seen to be true gets more glory, why am I to be judged as a sinner?

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:3:20 @Because by the works of the law no man is able to have righteousness in his eyes, for through the law comes the knowledge of sin.

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:3:28 @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:4:2 @For if Abraham got righteousness by works, he has reason for pride; but not before God.

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:4:5 @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:4:11 @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:4:13 @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:4:16 @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:4:22 @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:4:25 @Who was put to death for our evil-doing, and came to life again so that we might have righteousness.

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:5:5 @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:5:8 @But God has made clear his love to us, in that, when we were still sinners, Christ gave his life for us.

bbe@Romans:5:9 @Much more, if we now have righteousness by his blood, will salvation from the wrath of God come to us through him.

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:5:12 @For this reason, as through one man sin came into the world, and death because of sin, and so death came to all men, because all have done evil:

bbe@Romans:5:13 @Because, till the law came, sin was in existence, but sin is not put to the account of anyone when there is no law to be broken.

bbe@Romans:5:15 @But the free giving of God is not like the wrongdoing of man. For if, by the wrongdoing of one man death came to numbers of men, much more did the grace of God, and the free giving by the grace of one man, Jesus Christ, come to men.

bbe@Romans:5:16 @And the free giving has not the same effect as the sin of one: for the effect of one man's sin was punishment by the decision of God, but the free giving had power to give righteousness to wrongdoers in great number.

bbe@Romans:5:17 @For, if by the wrongdoing of one, death was ruling through the one, much more will those to whom has come the wealth of grace and the giving of righteousness, be ruling in life through the one, even Jesus Christ.

bbe@Romans:5:18 @So then, as the effect of one act of wrongdoing was that punishment came on all men, even so the effect of one act of righteousness was righteousness of life for all men.

bbe@Romans:5:19 @Because, as numbers of men became sinners through the wrongdoing of one man, even so will great numbers get righteousness through the keeping of the word of God by one man.

bbe@Romans:5:21 @That, as sin had power in death, so grace might have power through righteousness to eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.

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:6:6 @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:6:7 @Because he who is dead is free from sin.

bbe@Romans:6:9 @Having knowledge that because Christ has come back from the dead, he will never again go down to the dead; death has no more power over him.

bbe@Romans:6:11 @Even so see yourselves as dead to sin, but living to God in Christ Jesus.

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:6:13 @And do not give your bodies to sin as the instruments of wrongdoing, but give yourselves to God, as those who are living from the dead, and your bodies as instruments of righteousness to God.

bbe@Romans:6:14 @For sin may not have rule over you: because you are not under law, but under grace

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:6:16 @Are you not conscious that you are the servants of him to whom you give yourselves to do his desire? if to sin, the end being death, or if to do the desire of God, the end being righteousness.

bbe@Romans:6:18 @And being made free from sin you have been made the servants of righteousness.

bbe@Romans:6:19 @I am using words in the way of men, because your flesh is feeble: as you gave your bodies as servants to what is unclean, and to evil to do evil, so now give them as servants to righteousness to do what is holy.

bbe@Romans:6:20 @When you were servants of sin you were free from righteousness.

bbe@Romans:6:23 @For the reward of sin is death; but what God freely gives is eternal life in Jesus Christ our Lord.

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:7:2 @For the woman who has a husband is placed by the law under the power of her husband as long as he is living; but if her husband is dead, she is free from the law of the husband.

bbe@Romans:7:3 @So if, while the husband is living, she is joined to another man, she will get the name of one who is untrue to her husband: but if the husband is dead, she is free from the law, so that she is not untrue, even if she takes another man.

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:7:7 @What then is to be said? is the law sin? in no way. But I would not have had knowledge of sin but for the law: for I would not have been conscious of desire if the law had not said, You may not have a desire for what is another's.

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:7:10 @And I made the discovery that the law whose purpose was to give life had become a cause of death:

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:7:18 @For I am conscious that in me, that is, in my flesh, there is nothing good: I have the mind but not the power to do what is right.

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:8:1 @For this cause those who are in Christ Jesus will not be judged as sinners.

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:8:7 @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:8:10 @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:8:22 @For we are conscious that all living things are weeping and sorrowing in pain together till now.

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:8:28 @And we are conscious that all things are working together for good to those who have love for God, and have been marked out by his purpose.

bbe@Romans:8:29 @Because those of whom he had knowledge before they came into existence, were marked out by him to be made like his Son, so that he might be the first among a band of brothers:

bbe@Romans:8:30 @And those who were marked out by him were named; and those who were named were given righteousness; and to those to whom he gave righteousness, in the same way he gave glory.

bbe@Romans:8:31 @What may we say about these things? If God is for us, who is against us?

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:8:35 @Who will come between us and the love of Christ? Will trouble, or pain, or cruel acts, or the need of food or of clothing, or danger, or the sword?

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:8:39 @Or things on high, or things under the earth, or anything which is made, will be able to come between us and the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

bbe@Romans:9:7 @And they are not all children because they are the seed of Abraham; but, In Isaac will your seed be named.

bbe@Romans:9:19 @But you will say to me, Why does he still make us responsible? who is able to go against his purpose?

bbe@Romans:9:24 @Even us, who were marked out by him, not only from the Jews, but from the Gentiles?

bbe@Romans:9:29 @And, as Isaiah had said before, If the Lord of armies had not given us a seed, we would have been like Sodom and Gomorrah.

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:10:3 @Because, not having knowledge of God's righteousness, and desiring to give effect to their righteousness, they have not put themselves under the righteousness of God.

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:10:9 @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:10:13 @Because, Whoever will give worship to the name of the Lord will get salvation.

bbe@Romans:11:4 @But what answer does God make to him? I have still seven thousand men whose knees have not been bent to Baal.

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:11:23 @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:11:29 @Because God's selection and his mercies may not be changed.

bbe@Romans:12:4 @For, as we have a number of parts in one body, but all the parts have not the same use,

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:12:13 @Giving to the needs of the saints, ready to take people into your houses

bbe@Romans:12:17 @Do not give evil for evil to any man. Let all your business be well ordered in the eyes of all men.

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:13:3 @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:13:12 @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:13:14 @But put on the Lord Jesus Christ, and do not give thought to the flesh to do its desires.

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:14:10 @But you, why do you make yourself your brother's judge? or again, why have you no respect for your brother? because we will all have to take our place before God as our judge.

bbe@Romans:14:12 @So every one of us will have to give an account of himself 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:14:15 @And if because of food your brother is troubled, then you are no longer going on in the way of love. Do not let your food be destruction to him for whom Christ went into death.

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:14:19 @So then, let us go after the things which make peace, and the things by which we may be a help to one 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:14:23 @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:15:2 @Let every one of us give pleasure to his neighbour for his good, to make him strong.

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:15:7 @So then, take one another to your hearts, as Christ took us, to the glory of God.

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:15:17 @So I have pride in Christ Jesus in the things which are God's.

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:15:25 @But now I go to Jerusalem, taking help for the saints.

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:15:30 @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:15:31 @So that I may be kept safe from those in Judaea who have not put themselves under the rule of God, and that the help which I am taking for Jerusalem may be pleasing to the saints;

bbe@Romans:16:2 @That you will take her in kindly, after the way of the saints, as one who is the Lord's, and give her help in anything in which she may have need of you: because she has been a help to a great number and to myself.

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:16:8 @Give my love to Ampliatus, who is dear to me in the Lord,

bbe@Romans:16:9 @Give my love to Urbanus, a worker in Christ with us, and to my dear Stachys.

bbe@Romans:16:10 @Give my love to Apelles, who has the approval of Christ. Say a kind word to those who are of the house of Aristobulus.

bbe@Romans:16:11 @Give my love to Herodion, my relation. Say a kind word to those of the house of Narcissus, who are in the Lord.

bbe@Romans:16:13 @Give my love to Rufus, one of the Lord's selection, and to his mother and mine.

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:16:20 @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:16:27 @To the only wise God, through Jesus Christ, be the glory for ever. So be it.

bbe@1Corinthians:1:1 @Paul, an Apostle of Jesus Christ by the purpose of God, and Sosthenes the brother,

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:1:3 @Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

bbe@1Corinthians:1:4 @I give praise to my God for you at all times, because of the grace of God which has been given to you in Christ Jesus;

bbe@1Corinthians:1:7 @So that having every grace you are living in the hope of the revelation of our Lord Jesus Christ;

bbe@1Corinthians:1:8 @Who will give you strength to the end, to be free from all sin in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ.

bbe@1Corinthians:1:9 @God is true, through whom you have been given a part with his Son, Jesus Christ our Lord.

bbe@1Corinthians:1:10 @Now I make request to you, my brothers, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that you will all say the same thing, and that there may be no divisions among you, so that you may be in complete agreement, in the same mind and in the same opinion.

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:1:14 @I give praise to God that not one of you had baptism from me, but Crispus and Gaius;

bbe@1Corinthians:1:16 @And I gave baptism to the house of Stephanas; but I am not certain that any others had baptism from me.

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:1:20 @Where is the wise? where is he who has knowledge of the law? where is the man of this world who has a love of discussion? has not God made foolish the wisdom of this world?

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:1:25 @Because what seems foolish in God is wiser than men; and what seems feeble in God is stronger than men.

bbe@1Corinthians:1:30 @But God has given you a place in Christ Jesus, through whom God has given us wisdom and righteousness and salvation, and made us holy:

bbe@1Corinthians:2:2 @For I had made the decision to have knowledge of nothing among you but only of Jesus Christ on the cross.

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:2:12 @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: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:3:3 @Because you are still in the flesh: for when there is envy and division among you, are you not still walking after the way of the flesh, even as natural men?

bbe@1Corinthians:3:11 @For there is no other base for the building but that which has been put down, which is Jesus Christ.

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:3:16 @Do you not see that you are God's holy house, and that the Spirit of God has his place in you?

bbe@1Corinthians:3:17 @If anyone makes the house of God unclean, God will put an end to him; for the house of God is holy, and you are his house.

bbe@1Corinthians:4:1 @Let us be judged as servants of Christ, and as those who are responsible for the secret things of God.

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:4:12 @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:4:13 @When evil things are said about us we give gentle answers: we are made as the unclean things of the world, as that for which no one has any use, even till now.

bbe@1Corinthians:4:15 @For even if you had ten thousand teachers in Christ, you have not more than one father: for in Christ Jesus I have given birth to you through the good news.

bbe@1Corinthians:4:17 @For this cause I have sent Timothy to you, who is my dear and true child in the Lord; he will make clear to you my ways in Christ, even as I am teaching everywhere in every church.

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:5:8 @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:5:11 @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:6:6 @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:6:9 @Have you not knowledge that evil-doers will have no part in the kingdom of God? Have no false ideas about this: no one who goes after the desires of the flesh, or gives worship to images, or is untrue when married, or is less than a man, or makes a wrong use of men,

bbe@1Corinthians:6:10 @Or is a thief, or the worse for drink, or makes use of strong language, or takes by force what is not his, will have any part in the kingdom of God.

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:6:14 @And God who made the Lord Jesus come back from the dead will do the same for us by his power

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:7:2 @But because of the desires of the flesh, let every man have his wife, and every woman her husband.

bbe@1Corinthians:7:3 @Let the husband give to the wife what is right; and let the wife do the same to the husband.

bbe@1Corinthians:7:4 @The wife has not power over her body, but the husband; and in the same way the husband has not power over his body, but the wife.

bbe@1Corinthians:7:10 @But to the married I give orders, though not I but the Lord, that the wife may not go away from her husband

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:7:13 @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:7:16 @For how may you be certain, O wife, that you will not be the cause of salvation to your husband? or you, O husband, that you may not do the same for your wife?

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:7:26 @In my opinion then, because of the present trouble, it is good for a man to keep as he is.

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:7:34 @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:7:39 @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:8:6 @There is for us only one God, the Father, of whom are all things, and we are for him; and one Lord, Jesus Christ, through whom are all things, and we have our being through him.

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:8:9 @But take care that this power of yours does not give cause for trouble to the feeble.

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:8:11 @And so, through your knowledge, you are the cause of destruction to your brother, for whom Christ underwent death.

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:8:13 @For this reason, if food is a cause of trouble to my brother, I will give up taking meat for ever, so that I may not be a cause of trouble to my brother.

bbe@1Corinthians:9:1 @Am I not free? am I not an Apostle? have I not seen Jesus our Lord? are you not my work in the Lord?

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:9:9 @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:9:12 @If others have a part in this right over you, have we not even more? But we did not make use of our right, so that we might put nothing in the way of the good news of Christ.

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:9:16 @For if I am a preacher of the good news, I have no cause for pride in this; because I am forced to do so, for a curse is on me if I do not.

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:9:23 @And I do all things for the cause of the good news, so that I may have a part in it.

bbe@1Corinthians:10:6 @Now these things were for an example to us, so that our hearts might not go after evil things, as they did.

bbe@1Corinthians:10:8 @Again, let us not give way to the desires of the flesh, as some of them did, of whom twenty-three thousand came to their end in one day.

bbe@1Corinthians:10:9 @And let us not put the Lord to the test, as some of them did, and came to their death by snakes

bbe@1Corinthians:10:14 @For this cause, my dear brothers, give no worship to false gods.

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:10:17 @Because we, being a number of persons, are one bread, we are one body: for we all take part in the one bread.

bbe@1Corinthians:10:22 @Or may we be the cause of envy to the Lord? are we stronger than he?

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:10:32 @Give no cause of trouble to Jews, or to Greeks, or to the church of God.

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:11:14 @Does it not seem natural to you that if a man has long hair, it is a cause of shame to him?

bbe@1Corinthians:11:22 @What? have you not houses to take your meals in? or have you no respect for the church of God, putting the poor to shame? What am I to say to you? am I to give you praise? certainly not.

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:11:29 @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:11:30 @For this cause a number of you are feeble and ill, and a number are dead.

bbe@1Corinthians:11:31 @But if we were true judges of ourselves, punishment would not come on us.

bbe@1Corinthians:11:34 @If any man is in need of food, let him take his meal in his house; so that you may not come together to your damage. And the rest I will put in order when I come.

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:12:15 @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:12:23 @And to those parts of the body which seem to have less honour we give all the more honour; and to those parts of the body which are a cause of shame to us we give the greater respect;

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:13:1 @If I make use of the tongues of men and of angels, and have not love, I am like sounding brass, or a loud-tongued bell.

bbe@1Corinthians:13:11 @When I was a child, I made use of a child's language, I had a child's feelings and a child's thoughts: now that I am a man, I have put away the things of a child.

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:14:4 @He who makes use of tongues may do good to himself; but he who gives the prophet's word does good to the church.

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:14:9 @So if you, in using a strange tongue, say words which have no sense, how will anyone take in what you are saying? for you will be talking to the air.

bbe@1Corinthians:14:13 @For this reason, let the man who has the power of using tongues make request that he may, at the same time, be able to give the sense.

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:14:18 @I give praise to God that I am able to make use of tongues more than you all:

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:14:23 @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:14:27 @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:14:35 @And if they have a desire for knowledge about anything, let them put questions to their husbands privately: for talking in the church puts shame on a woman.

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:15:9 @For I am the least of the Apostles, having no right to be named an Apostle, because of my cruel attacks on the church of God.

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:15:31 @Yes, truly, by your pride in me, my brothers in Christ Jesus our Lord, my life is one long death.

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:15:34 @Be awake to righteousness and keep yourselves from sin; for some have no knowledge of God: I say this to put you to shame.

bbe@1Corinthians:15:49 @And in the same way as we have taken on us the image of the man from the earth, so we will take on us the image of the one from heaven.

bbe@1Corinthians:15:57 @But praise be to God who gives us strength to overcome through our Lord Jesus Christ.

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:16:7 @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:16:8 @But I will be at Ephesus till Pentecost;

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:16:15 @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:16:17 @And I am glad of the coming of Stephanas and Fortunatus and Achaicus: for they have done what was needed to make your work complete.

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:16:23 @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:1:2 @Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

bbe@2Corinthians:1:3 @Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and the God of all comfort;

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:1:8 @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:1:10 @Who gave us salvation from so great a death: on whom we have put our hope that he will still go on to give us salvation;

bbe@2Corinthians:1:11 @You at the same time helping together by your prayer for us; so that for what has been given to us through a number of persons, praise may go up to God for us from all of them.

bbe@2Corinthians:1:14 @Even as you have been ready, in part, to say that we are your glory, in the same way that you are ours, in the day of the Lord Jesus.

bbe@2Corinthians:1:19 @For the Son of God, Jesus Christ, whom we were preaching among you, even I and Silvanus and Timothy, was not Yes and No, but in him is Yes.

bbe@2Corinthians:1:20 @For he is the Yes to all the undertakings of God: and by him all the words of God are made certain and put into effect, to the glory of God through us.

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:2:5 @But if anyone has been a cause of sorrow, he has been so, not to me only, but in some measure to all of you (I say this that I may not be over-hard on you).

bbe@2Corinthians:2:8 @For which cause my desire is that you will make your love to him clear by your acts.

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:2:14 @But praise be to God who makes us strong to overcome in Christ, and makes clear through us in every place the value of the knowledge of him.

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:3:6 @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:3:9 @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:3:10 @For the glory of the first no longer seems to be glory, because of the greater glory of that which comes after

bbe@2Corinthians:4:1 @For this reason, because we have been made servants of this new order, through the mercy given to us, we are strong:

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:4:4 @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:4:5 @For our preaching is not about ourselves, but about Christ Jesus as Lord, and ourselves as your servants through Jesus.

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:4:8 @Troubles are round us on every side, but we are not shut in; things are hard for us, but we see a way out of them;

bbe@2Corinthians:4:10 @In our bodies there is ever the mark of the death of Jesus, so that the life of Jesus may be seen in our bodies

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:4:12 @So then, death is working in us, but life in you.

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:4:15 @For we go through all things on account of you, because the greater the number to whom the grace is given, the greater is the praise to the glory of God.

bbe@2Corinthians:4:16 @For which cause we do not give way to weariness; but though our outer man is getting feebler, our inner man is made new day by day.

bbe@2Corinthians:4:17 @For our present trouble, which is only for a short time, is working out for us a much greater weight of glory;

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:5:4 @For truly, we who are in this tent do give out cries of weariness, for the weight of care which is on us; not because we are desiring to be free from the body, but so that we may have our new body, and death may be overcome by life.

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:5:10 @For we all have to come before Christ to be judged; so that every one of us may get his reward for the things done in the body, good or bad.

bbe@2Corinthians:5:12 @We are not again requesting your approval, but we are giving you the chance of taking pride in us, so that you may be able to give an answer to those whose glory is in seeming, and not in the heart

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:5:19 @That is, that God was in Christ making peace between the world and himself, not putting their sins to their account, and having given to us the preaching of this news of 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:5:21 @For him who had no knowledge of sin God made to be sin for us; so that we might become the righteousness of God in him.

bbe@2Corinthians:6:3 @Giving no cause for trouble in anything, so that no one may be able to say anything against our work;

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:6:16 @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:6:17 @For which cause, Come out from among them, and be separate, says the Lord, and let no unclean thing come near you; and I will take you for myself,

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:7:6 @But God who gives comfort to the poor in spirit gave us comfort by the coming of Titus;

bbe@2Corinthians:7:7 @And not by his coming only, but by the comfort which he had in you, while he gave us word of your desire, your sorrow, your care for me; so that I was still more glad.

bbe@2Corinthians:7:9 @Now I am glad, not that you had sorrow, but that your sorrow was the cause of a change of heart; for yours was a holy sorrow so that you might undergo no loss by us in anything.

bbe@2Corinthians:7:10 @For the sorrow which God gives is the cause of salvation through a change of heart, in which there is no reason for grief: but the sorrow of the world is a cause of death.

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:8:4 @Seriously requesting us that they might have a part in this grace of being servants to the needs of the saints:

bbe@2Corinthians:8:5 @And going even farther than our hope, they first gave themselves to the Lord and to us after the purpose of God.

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:8:9 @For you see the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, how though he had wealth, he became poor on your account, so that through his need you might have wealth.

bbe@2Corinthians:8:16 @But praise be to God, who puts the same care for you into the heart of Titus.

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:8:20 @And so that no man might be able to say anything against us in the business of this giving which has been put into our hands:

bbe@2Corinthians:8:21 @For the business has been so ordered by us as to have the approval, not only of the Lord, but of men.

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: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:9:9 @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:9:12 @For this work of giving not only takes care of the needs of the saints, but is the cause of much praise to God;

bbe@2Corinthians:9:14 @While their hearts go out to you in love and in prayer for you, because of the great grace of God which is in 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:10:5 @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:10:8 @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:10:9 @That I may not seem to have the desire of causing you fear by my letters

bbe@2Corinthians:10:13 @We will not give glory to ourselves in over-great measure, but after the measure of the rule which God has given us, a measure which comes even to you.

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: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:11:4 @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:11:10 @As the true word of Christ is in me, I will let no man take from me this my cause of pride in the country of Achaia.

bbe@2Corinthians:11:11 @Why? because I have no love for you? let God be judge

bbe@2Corinthians:11:12 @But what I do, that I will go on doing, so that I may give no chance to those who are looking for one; so that, in the cause of their pride, they may be seen to be the same as we are.

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:11:31 @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:11:32 @In Damascus, the ruler under Aretas the king kept watch over the town of the people of Damascus, in order to take me:

bbe@2Corinthians:12:7 @And because the revelations were so very great, in order that I might not be overmuch lifted up, there was given to me a thorn in the flesh, one sent from Satan to give me pain.

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:12:18 @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: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:13:8 @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:13:14 @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:1:1 @Paul, an Apostle (not from men, and not through man, but through Jesus Christ, and God the Father, who made him come back from the dead),

bbe@Galatians:1:3 @Grace to you and peace from God the Father and our Lord Jesus Christ,

bbe@Galatians:1:4 @Who gave himself for our sins, so that he might make us free from this present evil world, after the purpose of our God and Father:

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:1:11 @Because I say to you, my brothers, that the good news of which I was the preacher is not man's.

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:1:17 @And I went not up to Jerusalem to those who were Apostles before me; but I went away into Arabia, and again I came back to Damascus.

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:1:23 @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:2:3 @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:2:8 @(Because he who was working in Peter as the Apostle of the circumcision was working no less in me among the Gentiles);

bbe@Galatians:2:11 @But when Cephas came to Antioch, I made a protest against him to his face, because he was clearly in the wrong.

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:2:17 @But if, while we were desiring to get righteousness through Christ, we ourselves were seen to be sinners, is Christ a servant of sin? In no way!

bbe@Galatians:2:21 @I do not make the grace of God of no effect: because if righteousness is through the law, then Christ was put to death for nothing.

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:3:6 @Even as Abraham had faith in God, and it was put to his account as righteousness.

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:3:10 @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:3:13 @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:3:18 @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:3:21 @Is the law then against the words of God? in no way; because if there had been a law which was able to give life, truly righteousness would have been by the law.

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:3:24 @So the law has been a servant to take us to Christ, so that we might have righteousness by faith.

bbe@Galatians:3:26 @Because you are all sons of God through faith in Christ Jesus.

bbe@Galatians:3:28 @There is no Jew or Greek, servant or free, male or female: because you are all one in Jesus Christ.

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:4:12 @My desire for you, brothers, is that you may be as I am, because I am as you are. You have done me no wrong;

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:4:16 @So then am I no longer your friend, because I give you true words?

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:4:22 @Because it is in the Writings, that Abraham had two sons, one by the servant-woman, and one by the free woman.

bbe@Galatians:4:24 @Which things have a secret sense; because these women are the two agreements; one from the mountain of Sinai, giving birth to servants, which is Hagar.

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:4:26 @But the Jerusalem on high is free, which is our mother.

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: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:5:2 @See, I Paul say to you, that if you undergo circumcision, Christ will be of no use to you.

bbe@Galatians:5:4 @You are cut off from Christ, you who would have righteousness by the law; you are turned away from grace.

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:5:7 @You were going on well; who was the cause of your not giving ear to what is true?

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:5:17 @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:5:19 @Now the works of the flesh are clear, which are these: evil desire, unclean things, wrong use of the senses,

bbe@Galatians:5:20 @Worship of images, use of strange powers, hates, fighting, desire for what another has, angry feelings, attempts to get the better of others, divisions, false teachings,

bbe@Galatians:5:25 @If we are living by the Spirit, by the Spirit let us be guided.

bbe@Galatians:5:26 @Let us not be full of self-glory, making one another angry, having envy of one another.

bbe@Galatians:6:4 @But let every man make test of his work, and then will his cause for glory be in himself only, and not in his neighbour.

bbe@Galatians:6:5 @Because every man is responsible for his part of the work.

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:6:9 @And let us not get tired of well-doing; for at the right time we will get in the grain, if we do not give way to weariness.

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:6:12 @Those who have the desire to seem important in the flesh, put force on you to undergo circumcision; only that they may not be attacked because of the cross of Christ.

bbe@Galatians:6:13 @Because even those who undergo circumcision do not themselves keep the law; but they would have you undergo circumcision, so that they may have glory in your flesh.

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:1:2 @Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

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:1:4 @Even as he made selection of us in him from the first, so that we might be holy and free from all evil before him in love:

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:1:6 @To the praise of the glory of his grace, which he freely gave to us in the Loved One:

bbe@Ephesians:1:8 @Which he gave us in full measure in all wisdom and care;

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:1:12 @So that his glory might have praise through us who first had hope in Christ:

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:1:17 @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:1:19 @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: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:2:4 @But God, being full of mercy, through the great love which he had for us,

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:2:7 @That in the time to come he might make clear the full wealth of his grace in his mercy to us 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:2:10 @For by his act we were given existence in Christ Jesus to do those good works which God before made ready for us so that we might do them.

bbe@Ephesians:2:13 @But now in Christ Jesus you who at one time were far off are made near in the blood of Christ.

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:2:18 @Because through him the two of us are able to come near in one Spirit to the Father.

bbe@Ephesians:2:20 @Resting on the base of the Apostles and prophets, Christ Jesus himself being the chief keystone,

bbe@Ephesians:2:21 @In whom all the building, rightly joined together, comes to be a holy house of God in the Lord;

bbe@Ephesians:3:1 @For this cause I Paul, the prisoner of Christ Jesus for you Gentiles,

bbe@Ephesians:3:11 @Which is seen in his eternal purpose in Christ Jesus our Lord:

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:3:14 @For this cause I go down on my knees before the Father,

bbe@Ephesians:3:20 @Now to him who is able to do in full measure more than all our desires or thoughts, through the power which is working in us,

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:4:7 @But to every one of us has grace been given in the measure of the giving of Christ.

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:4:21 @If in fact you gave ear to him, and were given teaching in him, even as what is true is made clear in Jesus:

bbe@Ephesians:4:24 @And put on the new man, to which God has given life, in righteousness and a true and holy way of living.

bbe@Ephesians:5:2 @And be living in love, even as Christ had love for you, and gave himself up for us, an offering to God for a perfume of a sweet smell.

bbe@Ephesians:5:6 @Do not be turned from the right way by foolish words; for because of these things the punishment of God comes on those who do not put themselves under him.

bbe@Ephesians:5:9 @(Because the fruit of the light is in all righteousness and in everything which is good and true),

bbe@Ephesians:5:13 @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:5:16 @Making good use of the time, because the days are evil.

bbe@Ephesians:5:17 @For this reason, then, do not be foolish, but be conscious of the Lord's pleasure.

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:5:20 @Giving praise at all times for all things in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, to God, even the Father;

bbe@Ephesians:5:22 @Wives, be under the authority of your husbands, as of the Lord.

bbe@Ephesians:5:23 @For the husband is the head of the wife, as Christ is the head of the church, being himself the saviour of the body.

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:5:28 @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:5:30 @Because we are parts of his body.

bbe@Ephesians:5:31 @For this cause will a man go away from his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and the two will become one flesh.

bbe@Ephesians:5:33 @But do you, everyone, have love for his wife, even as for himself; and let the wife see that she has respect for her husband.

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:6:14 @Take your place, then, having your body clothed with the true word, and having put on the breastplate of righteousness;

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:6:21 @But so that you may have knowledge of my business, and how I am, Tychicus, the well-loved brother and tested servant in the Lord, will give you news of all things:

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:1:2 @Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

bbe@Philippians:1:5 @Because of your help in giving the good news from the first day till now;

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:1:11 @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:1:14 @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:1:16 @These do it from love, conscious that I am responsible for the cause of the good news:

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:1:24 @Still, to go on in the flesh is more necessary because of you.

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:1:29 @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:2:5 @Let this mind be in you which was in Christ Jesus,

bbe@Philippians:2:10 @So that at the name of Jesus every knee may be bent, of those in heaven and those on earth and those in the underworld,

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:2:13 @For it is God who is the cause of your desires and of your acts, for his good pleasure.

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:2:19 @But I am hoping in the Lord Jesus to send Timothy to you before long, so that I may be comforted when I have news of you.

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:2:30 @Because for the work of Christ he was near to death, putting his life in danger to make your care for me complete.

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:3:6 @In bitter hate I was cruel to the church; I kept all the righteousness of the law to the last detail.

bbe@Philippians:3:8 @Yes truly, and I am ready to give up all things for the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord, which is more than all: for whom I have undergone the loss of all things, and to me they are less than nothing, so that I may have Christ as my reward,

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:3:12 @Not as if I had even now got the reward or been made complete: but I go on in the hope that I may come to the knowledge of that for which I was made the servant of Christ Jesus.

bbe@Philippians:3:14 @I go forward to the mark, even the reward of the high purpose of God in Christ Jesus.

bbe@Philippians:3:15 @Then let us all, who have come to full growth, be of this mind: and if in anything you are of a different mind, even this will God make clear to you:

bbe@Philippians:3:16 @Only, as far as we have got, let us be guided by the same rule.

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:4:7 @And the peace of God, which is deeper than all knowledge, will keep your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus.

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:4:16 @Because even in Thessalonica you sent once and again to me in my need.

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:4:19 @And my God will give you all you have need of from the wealth of his glory in Christ Jesus.

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:4:22 @All the saints send their love to you, specially those who are of Caesar's house.

bbe@Philippians:4:23 @The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit.

bbe@Colossians:1:1 @Paul, an Apostle of Jesus Christ, by the purpose of God, and Timothy our brother,

bbe@Colossians:1:3 @We give praise to God the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, making prayer for you at all times,

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:1:7 @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:1:12 @Giving praise to the Father who has given us a part in the heritage of the saints in light;

bbe@Colossians:1:13 @Who has made us free from the power of evil and given us a place in the kingdom of the Son of his love;

bbe@Colossians:1:24 @Now I have joy in my pain because of you, and in my flesh I undergo whatever is still needed to make the sorrows of Christ complete, for the salvation of his body, the church;

bbe@Colossians:1:29 @And for this purpose I am working, using all my strength by the help of his power which is working in me strongly.

bbe@Colossians:2:6 @As, then, you took Christ Jesus the Lord, so go on in him,

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:2:18 @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:2:22 @(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:3:5 @Then put to death your bodies which are of the earth; wrong use of the flesh, unclean things, passion, evil desires and envy, which is the worship of strange gods;

bbe@Colossians:3:6 @Because of which the wrath of God comes on those who go against his orders;

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:3:17 @And whatever you do, in word or in act, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving praise to God the Father through him.

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:4:1 @Masters, give your servants what is right and equal, conscious that you have a Master in heaven.

bbe@Colossians:4:3 @And making prayer for us, that God may give us an open door for the preaching of the word, the secret of Christ, for which I am now in chains;

bbe@Colossians:4:5 @Be wise in your behaviour to those who are outside, making good use of the time.

bbe@Colossians:4:7 @Tychicus will give you news of all my business: he is a dear brother and true servant and helper in the word;

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:4:10 @Aristarchus, my brother-prisoner, sends his love to you, and Mark, a relation of Barnabas (about whom you have been given orders: if he comes to you, be kind to him),

bbe@Colossians:4:11 @And Jesus, whose other name is Justus; these are of the circumcision: they are my only brother-workers for the kingdom of God, who have been a comfort to me.

bbe@Colossians:4:12 @Epaphras, who is one of you, a servant of Christ Jesus, sends you his love, ever taking thought for you in his prayers, that you may be complete and fully certain of all the purpose of God.

bbe@Colossians:4:15 @Give my love to the brothers in Laodicea and to Nymphas and the church in their house.

bbe@Colossians:4:17 @Say to Archippus, See that you do the work which the Lord has given you to do.

bbe@1Thessalonians:1:1 @Paul and Silvanus and Timothy, to the church of the Thessalonians in God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ: Grace to you and peace.

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:1:4 @Being conscious, my brothers, dear to God, that you have been marked out by God's purpose;

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:1:10 @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:2:4 @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:2:8 @Even so, being full of loving desire for you, we took delight in giving you not only God's good news, but even our lives, because you were dear to us.

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:2:14 @For you, my brothers, took as your examples the churches of God which are in Judaea in Christ Jesus; because you underwent the same things from your countrymen as they did from the Jews;

bbe@1Thessalonians:2:15 @Who put to death the Lord Jesus and the prophets, violently driving us out; who are unpleasing to God and against all men;

bbe@1Thessalonians:2:16 @Who, to make the measure of their sins complete, kept us from giving the word of salvation to the Gentiles: but the wrath of God is about to come on them in the fullest degree.

bbe@1Thessalonians:2:18 @For which reason we made attempts to come to you, even I, Paul, once and again; but Satan kept us from coming.

bbe@1Thessalonians:2:19 @For what is our hope or joy or crown of glory? Are not even you, before our Lord Jesus, at his coming?

bbe@1Thessalonians:3:3 @So that no man might be moved by these troubles; because you see that these things are part of God's purpose for us.

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:3:6 @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:3:11 @Now may our God and Father himself and our Lord Jesus make a way for us to come to you;

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:4:1 @And last of all, the prayer which we make to you from our heart and in the name of the Lord Jesus, is this: that as we made clear to you what sort of behaviour is pleasing to God, as in fact you are doing now, so you will go on in these ways, but more and more.

bbe@1Thessalonians:4:2 @Because you have in mind the orders we gave you through the Lord Jesus.

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:4:11 @And that you may take pride in being quiet and doing your business, working with your hands as we gave you orders;

bbe@1Thessalonians:4:14 @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:5:6 @So then, let us not take our rest as the others do, but let us be self-controlled and awake.

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:5:9 @For God's purpose for us is not wrath, but salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ,

bbe@1Thessalonians:5:10 @Who was put to death for us, so that, awake or sleeping, we may have a part in his life.

bbe@1Thessalonians:5:13 @And have a high opinion of them in love because of their work. Be at peace among yourselves.

bbe@1Thessalonians:5:18 @In everything give praise: for this is the purpose of God in Christ Jesus for you.

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:5:25 @Brothers, keep us in mind in your prayers.

bbe@1Thessalonians:5:28 @The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you.

bbe@2Thessalonians:1:1 @Paul and Silvanus and Timothy, to the church of the Thessalonians in God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ:

bbe@2Thessalonians:1:2 @Grace to you and peace from God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

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:1:5 @Which is a clear sign of the decision which God in his righteousness has made; to give you a part in his kingdom, for which you have undergone this pain;

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:1:8 @To give punishment to those who have no knowledge of God, and to those who do not give ear to the good news of our Lord Jesus:

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:1:12 @So that glory may be given to the name of our Lord Jesus through you, and you may have glory in him, by the grace of our God and the Lord Jesus Christ.

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:2:8 @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:2:10 @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:2:13 @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:2:14 @And in this purpose he gave you a part through the good news of which we were the preachers, even that you might have part in the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ.

bbe@2Thessalonians:2:15 @So then, brothers, be strong in purpose, and keep the teaching which has been given to you by word or by letter from us.

bbe@2Thessalonians:2:16 @Now our Lord Jesus Christ himself, and God our Father who had love for us and has given us eternal comfort and good hope through grace,

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:3:6 @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:3:7 @For you yourselves are used to taking us as your example, because our life among you was ruled by order,

bbe@2Thessalonians:3:9 @Not because we have not the right, but to make ourselves an example to you, so that you might do the same.

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:3:12 @Now to such we give orders and make request in the Lord Jesus, that, working quietly, they get their living.

bbe@2Thessalonians:3:15 @Have no feeling of hate for him, but take him in hand seriously as a brother.

bbe@2Thessalonians:3:18 @May the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all.

bbe@1Timothy:1:1 @Paul, an Apostle of Jesus Christ, by the order of God our Saviour and Christ Jesus our hope;

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:1:8 @We are conscious that the law is good, if a man makes a right use of it,

bbe@1Timothy:1:12 @I give praise to him who gave me power, Christ Jesus our Lord, because he took me to be true, making me his servant,

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:1:19 @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:1:20 @Such are Hymenaeus and Alexander, whom I have given up to Satan, so that they may say no more evil words against God.

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:2:5 @For there is one God and one peacemaker between God and men, the man Christ Jesus,

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:3:2 @The Bishop, then, is to be a man of good name, the husband of one wife, self-controlled, serious-minded, having respect for order, opening his house freely to guests, a ready teacher;

bbe@1Timothy:3:4 @Ruling his house well, having his children under control with all serious behaviour;

bbe@1Timothy:3:5 @(For if a man has not the art of ruling his house, how will he take care of the church of God?)

bbe@1Timothy:3:8 @Deacons, in the same way, are to be serious in their behaviour, not false in word, not given to taking much wine or greatly desiring the wealth of this world;

bbe@1Timothy:3:11 @Women are to be serious in behaviour, saying no evil of others, controlling themselves, true in all things.

bbe@1Timothy:3:12 @Let Deacons be husbands of one wife, ruling their children and their houses well.

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:3:15 @But if I am long in coming, this will make clear to you what behaviour is right for men in the house of God, which is the church of the living God, the pillar and base of what is true.

bbe@1Timothy:4:4 @Because everything which God has made is good, and nothing is evil, if it is taken with praise:

bbe@1Timothy:4:6 @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:4:10 @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:4:14 @Make use of that grace in you, which was given to you by the word of the prophets, when the rulers of the church put their hands on you.

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:5:12 @And they are judged because they have been false to their first faith;

bbe@1Timothy:5:13 @And they get into the way of doing no work, going about from house to house; and not only doing no work, but talking foolishly, being over-interested in the business of others, saying things which they have no right to say.

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:5:21 @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:5:23 @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: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:6:8 @But if we have food and a roof over us, let that be enough.

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:6:13 @I give you orders before God, the giver of life, and Christ Jesus, who before Pontius Pilate gave witness to the faith,

bbe@1Timothy:6:14 @To keep the word untouched by evil, clear from all shame, till the revelation of our Lord Jesus Christ:

bbe@1Timothy:6:17 @Give orders to those who have money and goods in this life, not to be lifted up in their minds, or to put their hope in the uncertain chances of wealth, but in God who gives us in full measure all things for our use;

bbe@2Timothy:1:1 @Paul, an Apostle of Jesus Christ by the purpose of God, in the hope of the life which is in Christ Jesus,

bbe@2Timothy:1:2 @To Timothy, my well-loved child: Grace, mercy, peace, from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Lord.

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:1:7 @For God did not give us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of self-control.

bbe@2Timothy:1:9 @Who gave us salvation, marking us out for his purpose, not on account of our works, but in the measure of his purpose and his grace, which was given to us in Christ Jesus before times eternal,

bbe@2Timothy:1:10 @But has now been made clear by the revelation of our Saviour Christ Jesus, who put an end to death and made life unending come to light through the good news,

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:1:15 @You have had news that all those in Asia went away from me; among whom are Phygelus and Hermogenes:

bbe@2Timothy:1:16 @May the Lord give mercy to the house of Onesiphorus because he frequently gave me help, and had no feeling of shame because I was in chains;

bbe@2Timothy:1:18 @(May he have the Lord's mercy in that day); and of all he did for me at Ephesus you have full knowledge.

bbe@2Timothy:2:1 @So then, my child, be strong in the grace which is in Christ Jesus.

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:2:8 @Keep in mind Jesus Christ, of the seed of David, who came back from the dead, as my good news gives witness:

bbe@2Timothy:2:10 @But I undergo all things for the saints, so that they may have salvation in Christ Jesus with eternal glory.

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:2:14 @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:2:17 @And their words will be like poisoned wounds in the flesh: such are Hymenaeus and Philetus;

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:2:21 @If a man makes himself clean from these, he will be a vessel for honour, made holy, ready for the master's use, ready for every good work.

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:2:23 @And put away foolish and uncontrolled questionings, seeing that they are a cause of trouble.

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:3:12 @Yes, and all whose purpose is to be living in the knowledge of God in Christ Jesus, will be cruelly attacked.

bbe@2Timothy:3:13 @Evil and false men will become worse and worse, using deceit and themselves overcome by deceit.

bbe@2Timothy:3:14 @But see that you keep to the teaching you have been given and the things of which you are certain, conscious of who has been your teacher;

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:4:1 @I give you orders, before God and Christ Jesus, who will be the judge of the living and the dead, and by his revelation and his kingdom;

bbe@2Timothy:4:8 @From now on, the crown of righteousness is made ready for me, which the Lord, the upright judge, Will give to me at that day: and not only to me, but to all those who have had love for his revelation.

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:4:12 @Tychicus I sent to Ephesus.

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:4:19 @Give my love to Prisca and Aquila and those of the house of Onesiphorus.

bbe@2Timothy:4:20 @Erastus was stopping at Corinth; but Trophimus, when I last saw him was at Miletus, ill.

bbe@2Timothy:4:21 @Do your best to come before the winter. Eubulus sends you his love, and Pudens and Linus and Claudia, and all the brothers.

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:1:2 @And to Apphia, our sister, and to Archippus, our brother in God's army, and to the church in your house:

bbe@Philemon:1:3 @Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

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:1:7 @For I had great joy and comfort in your love, because the hearts of the saints have been made strong again through you, brother.

bbe@Philemon:1:9 @Still, because of love, in place of an order, I make a request to you, I, Paul, an old man and now a prisoner of Christ Jesus:

bbe@Philemon:1:10 @My request is for my child Onesimus, the child of my chains,

bbe@Philemon:1:23 @Epaphras, my brother-prisoner in Christ Jesus, sends you his love;

bbe@Philemon:1:24 @And so do Mark, Aristarchus, Demas, and Luke, my brother-workers.

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:1:8 @But of the Son he says, Your seat of power, O God, is for ever and ever; and the rod of your kingdom is a rod of righteousness.

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:2:1 @For this reason there is the more need for us to give attention to the things which have come to our ears, for fear that by chance we might be slipping away.

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:2:3 @What will come on us, if we do not give our minds to such a great salvation? a salvation of which our fathers first had knowledge through the words of the Lord, and which was made certain to us by those to whom his words came;

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:2:14 @And because the children are flesh and blood, he took a body himself and became like them; so that by his death he might put an end to him who had the power of death, that is to say, the Evil One;

bbe@Hebrews:2:15 @And let those who all their lives were in chains because of their fear of death, go free.

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:3:4 @For every house has a builder; but the builder of all things is God.

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:3:6 @But Christ as a son, over his house; whose house are we, if we keep our hearts fixed in the glad and certain hope till the end.

bbe@Hebrews:3:19 @So we see that they were not able to go in because they had no belief.

bbe@Hebrews:4:1 @Let us then, though we still have God's word that we may come into his rest, go in fear that some of you may be unable to do so.

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:4:3 @For those of us who have belief come into his rest; even as he has said, As I said in my oath when I was angry, They may not come into my rest: though the works were done from the time of the making of the world.

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:4:11 @Because of this, let us have a strong desire to come into that rest, and let no one go after the example of those who 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:4:14 @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:4:16 @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:5:2 @He is able to have feeling for those who have no knowledge and for those who are wandering from the true way, because he himself is feeble;

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:5:11 @Of whom we have much to say which it is hard to make clear, because you are slow of hearing.

bbe@Hebrews:5:13 @For everyone who takes milk is without experience of the word of righteousness: he is a child.

bbe@Hebrews:5:14 @But solid food is for men of full growth, even for those whose senses are trained by use to see what is good and what is evil.

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:6:3 @Now we will do this, if God lets us.

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:6:8 @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:6:12 @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:6:18 @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:6:20 @Where Jesus has gone before us, as a high priest for ever after the order of Melchizedek.

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:7:10 @Because he was still in his father's body when Melchizedek came to him.

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:7:18 @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:7:22 @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:7:24 @But this priest, because his life goes on for ever, is unchanging.

bbe@Hebrews:7:25 @So that he is fully able to be the saviour of all who come to God through him, because he is ever living to make prayer to God for them.

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:7:27 @Who has no need to make offerings for sins every day, like those high priests, first for himself, and then for the people; because he did this once and for ever when he made an offering of himself.

bbe@Hebrews:8:4 @If he had been on earth he would not have been a priest at all, because there are other priests who make the offerings ordered by the law;

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:8:13 @When he says, A new agreement, he has made the first agreement old. But anything which is getting old and past use will not be seen much longer.

bbe@Hebrews:9:10 @Because they are only rules of the flesh, of meats and drinks and washings, which have their place till the time comes when things will be put right.

bbe@Hebrews:9:13 @For if the blood of goats and oxen, and the dust from the burning of a young cow, being put on the unclean, make the flesh clean:

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:9:23 @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:9:26 @For then he would have undergone a number of deaths from the time of the making of the world: but now he has come to us at the end of the old order, to put away sin by the offering of himself.

bbe@Hebrews:9:27 @And because by God's law death comes to men once, and after that they are judged;

bbe@Hebrews:10:2 @For if this had been possible, would there not have been an end of those offerings, because the worshippers would have been made completely clean and would have been no longer conscious of sins?

bbe@Hebrews:10:4 @Because it is not possible for the blood of oxen and goats to take away sins.

bbe@Hebrews:10:10 @By that pleasure we have been made holy, by the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once and for ever.

bbe@Hebrews:10:12 @But when Jesus had made one offering for sins for ever, he took his place at the right hand of God;

bbe@Hebrews:10:14 @Because by one offering he has made complete for ever those who are made holy.

bbe@Hebrews:10:15 @And the Holy Spirit is a witness for us: for after he had 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:10:20 @By the new and living way which he made open for us through the veil, that is to say, his flesh;

bbe@Hebrews:10:21 @And having a great priest over the house of God,

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:10:24 @And let us be moving one another at all times to love and good works;

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:10:29 @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: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:11:6 @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:11:11 @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:11:19 @Judging that God was able to give life even to the dead; and because of this he did get him back as if from death.

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:11:28 @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:11:31 @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:11:40 @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:12:9 @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:12:12 @For this cause let the hands which are hanging down be lifted up, and let the feeble knees be made strong,

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:12:22 @But you have come to the mountain of Zion, to the place of the living God, to the Jerusalem which is in heaven, and to an army of angels which may not be numbered,

bbe@Hebrews:12:24 @And to Jesus by whom the new agreement has been made between God and man, and to the sign of the blood which says better things than Abel's blood.

bbe@Hebrews:12:26 @Whose voice was the cause of the shaking of the earth; but now he has made an oath, saying, There will be still one more shaking, not only of the earth, but of heaven.

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:13:2 @Take care to keep open house: because in this way some have had angels as their guests, without being conscious of it.

bbe@Hebrews:13:8 @Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and for ever.

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:13:12 @For this reason Jesus was put to death outside the walls, so that he might make the people holy by his blood.

bbe@Hebrews:13:13 @Let us then go out to him outside the circle of the tents, taking his shame on ourselves.

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:13:18 @Make prayers for us, for we are certain that our hearts are free from the sense of sin, desiring the right way of life in all things.

bbe@Hebrews:13:20 @Now may the God of peace, who made that great keeper of his flock, even our Lord Jesus, come back from the dead through the blood of the eternal agreement,

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@James:1:1 @James, a servant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ, sends words of love to the twelve tribes of the Jews living in all parts of the earth.

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:1:10 @But the man of wealth, that he is made low; because like the flower of the grass he will come to his end.

bbe@James:1:12 @There is a blessing on the man who undergoes testing; because, if he has God's approval, he will be given the crown of life, which the Lord has said he will give to those who have love for him.

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:1:20 @For the righteousness of God does not come about by the wrath of man.

bbe@James:1:23 @Because if any man is a hearer of the word and not a doer, he is like a man looking at his natural face in a glass;

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:2:14 @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:2:20 @Do you not see, O foolish man, that faith without works is of no use?

bbe@James:2:21 @Was not the righteousness of Abraham our father judged by his works, when he made an offering of Isaac his son on the altar?

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:2:25 @And in the same way, was not the righteousness of Rahab, the loose woman, judged by her works, when she took into her house those who were sent and let them go out by another way?

bbe@James:3:1 @Do not all be teachers, my brothers, because we teachers will be judged more hardly than others.

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:3:12 @Is a fig-tree able to give us olives, my brothers, or do we get figs from a vine, or sweet water from the salt sea?

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:4:7 @For this cause be ruled by God; but make war on the Evil One and he will be put to flight before you.

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: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:5:8 @Be as calm in your waiting; let your hearts be strong: because the coming of the Lord is near.

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:1:3 @Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who through his great mercy has given us a new birth and a living hope by the coming again of Jesus Christ from the dead,

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:1:13 @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:1:16 @Because it has been said in the Writings, You are to be holy, for I am holy.

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:1:20 @Who was marked out by God before the making of the world, but was caused to be seen in these last times for you,

bbe@1Peter:1:23 @Because you have had a new birth, not from the seed of man, but from eternal seed, through the word of a living and unchanging God.

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:2:8 @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:2:13 @Keep all the laws of men because of the Lord; those of the king, who is over all,

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:2:21 @This is God's purpose for you: because Jesus himself underwent punishment for you, giving you an example, so that you might go in his footsteps:

bbe@1Peter:2:23 @To sharp words he gave no sharp answer; when he was undergoing pain, no angry word came from his lips; but he put himself into the hands of the judge of righteousness:

bbe@1Peter:2:24 @He took our sins on himself, giving his body to be nailed on the tree, so that we, being dead to sin, might have a new life in righteousness, and by his wounds we have been made well.

bbe@1Peter:2:25 @Because, like sheep, you had gone out of the way; but now you have come back to him who keeps watch over your souls.

bbe@1Peter:3:1 @Wives, be ruled by your husbands; so that even if some of them give no attention to the word, their hearts may be changed by the behaviour of their wives,

bbe@1Peter:3:5 @And these were the ornaments of the holy women of the past, whose hope was in God, being ruled by their husbands:

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:3:9 @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:3:14 @But you are happy if you undergo pain because of righteousness; have no part in their fear and do not be troubled;

bbe@1Peter:3:16 @Being conscious that you have done no wrong; so that those who say evil things about your good way of life as Christians may be put to shame.

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:3:21 @And baptism, of which this is an image, now gives you salvation, not by washing clean the flesh, but by making you free from the sense of sin before God, through the coming again of Jesus Christ from the dead;

bbe@1Peter:4:1 @So that as Jesus was put to death in the flesh, do you yourselves be of the same mind; for the death of the flesh puts an end to sin;

bbe@1Peter:4:3 @Because for long enough, in times past, we have been living after the way of the Gentiles, given up to the desires of the flesh, to drinking and feasting and loose behaviour and unclean worship of images;

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:4:14 @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:4:15 @Let no one among you undergo punishment as a taker of life, or as a thief, or as an evil-doer, or as one who is over-interested in other men's business;

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: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:5:6 @For this cause make yourselves low under the strong hand of God, so that when the time comes you may be lifted up;

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:5:10 @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:5:12 @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@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:1:2 @May grace and peace ever be increasing in you, in the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord;

bbe@2Peter:1:3 @Because by his power he has given us everything necessary for life and righteousness, through the knowledge of him who has been our guide by his glory and virtue;

bbe@2Peter:1:4 @And through this he has given us the hope of great rewards highly to be valued; so that by them we might have our part in God's being, and be made free from the destruction which is in the world through the desires of the flesh.

bbe@2Peter:1:5 @So, for this very cause, take every care; joining virtue to faith, and knowledge to virtue,

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:1:11 @For so the way will be open to you into the eternal kingdom of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.

bbe@2Peter:1:14 @For I am conscious that in a short time I will have to put off this tent of flesh, as our Lord Jesus Christ has made clear to me.

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:1:20 @Being conscious in the first place that no man by himself may give a special sense to the words of the prophets.

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:2:3 @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:2:5 @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:2:8 @(Because the soul of that upright man living among them was pained from day to day by seeing and hearing their crimes):

bbe@2Peter:2:11 @Though the angels, who are greater in strength and power, do not make use of violent language against them before the Lord.

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:2:14 @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:2:18 @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:2:19 @Saying that they will be free, while they themselves are the servants of destruction; because whatever gets the better of a man makes a servant of him.

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: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:3:11 @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:3:18 @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:1:2 @(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:1:5 @This is the word which came to us from him and which we give to you, that God is light and in him there is nothing dark.

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:1:8 @If we say that we have no sin, we are false to ourselves and there is nothing true in us.

bbe@1John:1:9 @If we say openly that we have done wrong, he is upright and true to his word, giving us forgiveness of sins and making us clean from all evil.

bbe@1John:1:10 @If we say that we have no sin, we make him false and his word is not in us.

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:2:10 @He who has love for his brother is in the light, and there is no cause of error in him.

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:2:14 @I have sent a letter to you, fathers, because you have knowledge of him who was from the first. I have sent a letter to you, young men, because you are strong, and the word of God is in you, and because you have overcome the Evil One.

bbe@1John:2:16 @Because everything in the world, the desire of the flesh, the desire of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father but of the world.

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:2:21 @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:2:22 @Who is false but he who says that Jesus is not the Christ? He is the Antichrist who has no belief in the Father or the Son.

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:3:7 @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:3:9 @Anyone who is a child of God does no sin, because he still has God's seed in him; he is not able to be a sinner, because God is his Father.

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:3:11 @Because this is the word which was given to you from the first, that we are to have love for one another;

bbe@1John:3:12 @Not being of the Evil One like Cain, who put his brother to death. And why did he put him to death? Because his works were evil and his brother's works were good.

bbe@1John:3:14 @We are conscious that we have come out of death into life because of our love for the brothers. He who has no love is still in death.

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:3:20 @When our heart says that we have done wrong; because God is greater than our heart, and has knowledge of all things.

bbe@1John:3:22 @And he gives us all our requests, because we keep his laws and do the things which are pleasing in his eyes.

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:4:4 @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:4:7 @My loved ones, let us have love for one another: because love is of God, and everyone who has love is a child of God and has knowledge of God.

bbe@1John:4:8 @He who has no love has no knowledge of God, because God is love.

bbe@1John:4:9 @And the love of God was made clear to us when he sent his only Son into the world so that we might have life through him.

bbe@1John:4:10 @And this is love, not that we had love for God, but that he had love for us, and sent his Son to be an offering for our sins

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:4:12 @No man has ever seen God: if we have love for one another, God is in us and his love is made complete in us:

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:4:15 @Everyone who says openly that Jesus is the Son of God, has God in him and is in God.

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:4:18 @There is no fear in love: true love has no room for fear, because where fear is, there is pain; and he who is not free from fear is not complete in love.

bbe@1John:4:19 @We have the power of loving, because he first had love for us.

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:5:5 @Who is able to overcome the world but the man who has faith that Jesus is the Son of God?

bbe@1John:5:6 @This is he who came by water and by blood, Jesus Christ; not by water only but by water and by blood.

bbe@1John:5:7 @And the Spirit is the witness, because the Spirit is true.

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:5:14 @And we are certain that if we make any request to him which is right in his eyes, he will give ear to us:

bbe@1John:5:20 @And we are certain that the Son of God has come, and has given us a clear vision, so that we may see him who is true, and we are in him who is true, in his Son Jesus Christ. He is the true God and eternal life.

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:1:7 @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:1:10 @If anyone comes to you not having this teaching, do not take him into your house or give him words of love:

bbe@3John:1:1 @I, a ruler in the church, send word to the well loved Gaius, for whom I have true love.

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:1:9 @I sent a letter to the church, but Diotrephes, whose desire is ever to have the first place among them, will not have us there.

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@Jude:1:1 @Jude, a servant of Jesus Christ and the brother of James, to those of God's selection who have been made holy by God the Father and are kept safe for Jesus Christ:

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:1:9 @Now when Michael, one of the chief angels, was fighting against the Evil One for the body of Moses, fearing to make use of violent words against him, he only said, May the Lord be your judge.

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:1:14 @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:1:17 @But you, my loved ones, keep in memory the words which were said before by the Apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ,

bbe@Jude:1:21 @Keep yourselves in the love of God, looking for life eternal through the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ.

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:1:5 @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:1:11 @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:2:1 @To the angel of the church in Ephesus say: These things says he who has the seven stars in his right hand, who is walking in the middle of the seven gold lights:

bbe@Revelation:2:3 @And you have the power of waiting, and have undergone trouble because of my name, without weariness.

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:3:2 @Be on the watch, and make strong the rest of the things which are near to death; because as judged by me your works have not come up to God's measure.

bbe@Revelation:3:10 @Because you have kept my word in quiet strength, I will keep you from the hour of testing which is coming on all the world, to put to the test those who are on earth

bbe@Revelation:3:12 @Him who overcomes I will make a pillar in the house of my God, and he will go out no more: and I will put on him the name of my God, and the name of the town of my God, the new Jerusalem, which comes down out of heaven from my God, and my new name.

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:4:3 @And to my eyes he was like a jasper and a sardius stone: and there was an arch of light round the high seat, like an emerald.

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:5:4 @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:5:8 @And when he had taken the book, the four beasts and the four and twenty rulers went down on their faces before the Lamb, having every one an instrument of music, and gold vessels full of perfumes, which are the prayers of the saints.

bbe@Revelation:5:11 @And I saw, and there came to my ears the sound of a great number of angels round about the high seat and the beasts and the rulers; and the number of them was ten thousand times ten thousand, and thousands of thousands;

bbe@Revelation:6:16 @And they say to the mountains and to the rocks, Come down on us, covering us from the face of him who is seated on the high seat, and from the wrath of the Lamb:

bbe@Revelation:7:4 @And there came to my ears the number of those who had the mark on their brows, a hundred and forty-four thousand, who were marked out of every tribe of the people of Israel.

bbe@Revelation:7:5 @Of the tribe of Judah were marked twelve thousand: of the tribe of Reuben twelve thousand: of the tribe of Gad twelve thousand:

bbe@Revelation:7:6 @Of the tribe of Asher twelve thousand: of the tribe of Naphtali twelve thousand: of the tribe of Manasseh twelve thousand:

bbe@Revelation:7:7 @Of the tribe of Simeon twelve thousand: of the tribe of Levi twelve thousand: of the tribe of Issachar twelve thousand:

bbe@Revelation:7:8 @Of the tribe of Zebulun twelve thousand: of the tribe of Joseph twelve thousand: of the tribe of Benjamin were marked twelve thousand.

bbe@Revelation:7:15 @This is why they are before the high seat of God; and they are his servants day and night in his house: and he who is seated on the high seat will be a tent over them.

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:9:3 @And from the smoke locusts came out on the earth; and power was given them, like the power of scorpions.

bbe@Revelation:9:7 @And the forms of the locusts were like horses made ready for war; and on their heads they had crowns like gold, and their faces were as the faces of men.

bbe@Revelation:9:9 @And they had breastplates like iron, and the sound of their wings was as the sound of carriages, like an army of horses rushing to the fight.
